>> Announcer: PREVIOUSLY ON "BIG BROTHER."
16 STRANGERS BEGAN THE BATTLE
FOR THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION DOLLARS.
AMONG THEM, THE HYPNOTIST, THE VEGAS PERFORMER, THE BEAUTY
QUEEN, THE TWERKER, THE CHEF, AND CHICAGO'S HOTTEST KAROKE DJ.
EACH SECURED A TICKET TO EACH COMPETITION.
>> THE WINNER OF THE COMPETITION WILL MOVE ON TO THE MAIN STAGE
WHERE THEY WILL COMPETE TO BECOME THE FIRST HEAD OF
HOUSEHOLD OF THE SUMMER. YOU WILL NOT BE PARTICIPATING IN
ANY COMPETITIONS, AND YOU WON'T BE VOTING COME EVICTION NIGHT.
BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, YOU CANNOT BE NOMINATED OR EVICTED THIS
WEEK. >> APPRECIATE IT.
>> WITH HIS COMPETITORS FLUSHED AWAY, MONTE ADVANCED TO THE HEAD
OF HOUSEHOLD COMPETITION. >> CONGRATULATIONS, MONTE, YOU
ARE MOVING ON. >> THEN TURNER PIERCED HIS WAY
TO A SHOT AT POWER. >> YOU'RE NOW HEADED TO THE MAIN
STAGE TO COMPETE FOR HOH. >> AND DANIEL SOON JOINED THEM
ON THE MAIN STAGE. >> CONGRATULATIONS, DANIEL.
YOU WILL NOW FACE OFF AGAINST MONTE AND TURNER.
>> WITH THE FIRST HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD OF THE SUMMER ON THE
LINE, DANIEL DRUMMED UP THE WIN. >> CONGRATULATIONS, DANIEL.
YOU ARE THE FIRST HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD OF THE SUMMER.
>> BUT HE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WITH POWER.
>> POOCH, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO PICK THREE OTHER HOUSE GUESTS TO
SEND BACKSTAGE. THEY, LIKE YOU, CANNOT BE
NOMINATED, WILL NOT TAKE PART IN ANY OF THIS WEEK'S COMPETITIONS,
AND THEY WILL NOT BE VOTING ON EVICTION NIGHT.
>> SO AS THE BACKSTAGE BOSS, POOCH HAD TO CHOOSE THREE
PLAYERS TO BRING BACK STAGE FOR THE WEEK.
>> UNLIKE YOU, THEY ARE NOT SAFE, AND ONE OF THEM COULD BE
THE FIRST HOUSE GUEST GOING HOME.
>> AND THE FOOTBALL COACH PICKED HIS LINEUP.
>> THE THREE OF YOU ARE BACKSTAGE FOR THE WEEK.
>> TONIGHT, THE GAME IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY.
ALLIANCES WILL FORM, HAVE-NOTES WILL BE CHOSEN, AND DANIEL WILL
NOMINATE TWO HOUSE GUESTS FOR EVICTION.
YOU'VE GOT FRONT ROW SEATS TO BB TEST.
RIGHT NOW ON "BIG BROTHER." >> WHOO!
WE DID IT! >> BOOM, BABY!
I SAID I WAS GOING TO GET INSIDE THIS HOUSE AND WIN FIRST HOH,
AND IT JUST HAPPENED. MY DREAM LITERALLY JUST CAME
TRUE. BUT THIS SPOTLIGHT IS HUGE, SO
THERE'S A LOT OF PRESSURE TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR MY
GAME. THIS IS SICK.
>> THE BROS BACK HERE. THE BROS BACK HERE.
>> I'M KYLE. >> OKAY.
COOL. AWESOME.
>> AND IT WAS POOCH? >> YES, SIR.
>> NO, DUDE. I'M NOT --
>> DUDE! >> THAT WAS A GOOD WAY HOW YOU
DID IT. >> THERE'S NO WAY I COULD --
>> THE BIG REASON I PICKED THE BACKSTAGE GIRLS WAS PALOMA
ALYSSA AND BRITTANY WERE THE FIRST ONES IN THAT COMPETITION.
I'M KEEPING IT FAIR. >> IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO BE
SAFE FOR THE WEEK, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, HAVING TO SELECT
THREE OTHER HOUSE GUESTS WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE BLOOD ON MY HANDS
THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE. >> IT'S ALL GIRLS.
I DON'T WANT THAT TO -- WORST COMES TO WORST, I'M HOPING.
>> HI. ALYSSA.
>> MONTE. NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> I AM FREAKING OUT. THIS BACKSTAGE TWIST COULD
COMPLETELY CHANGE MY GAME. I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT THIS
STUPID PASS. WE CAN'T BE NOMINATED, WE CAN'T
PLAY IN VETO. BUT WE COULD STILL GO HOME THIS
WEEK. I'M DOING MY BEST TO KEEP MY
CALM. JULIE SAID TO PLAY MY BEST
SOCIAL GAME, SO THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.
>> I WAS CONFUSED AFTER JULIE TOLD US WHAT THIS BACKSTAGE PASS
IS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN'T
BE NOMINATED. YOU CAN'T BE CHOSEN AS A
REPLACEMENT NOMINEE, BUT YOU MIGHT BE THE FIRST TO GO OUT OF
THE HOUSE. JULIE LIKES TO THROW SOME
CURVEBALLS, AND I'M GLAD I GOT TO DODGE ONE EARLY.
>> WHAT DO YOU DO? >> I WORK FOR A FIRM.
BEING AN ATTORNEY IN THE HOUSE, I'M AFRAID PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
ASSOCIATE THAT WITH BEING SLEAZY OR A SMOOTH TALKER OR
MANIPULATIVE. I THINK I CAN PULL OFF THIS LIE
ABOUT BEING AN ESCAPE ROOM EMPLOYEE AT THE MOMENT.
THAT'S MY STORY, AND I'M STICKING TO IT.
WHAT DO YOU DO? >> I'M A TOY TEST EER.
I WORK AT THE TOY COMPANY. SO I HELP LIKE THE KIDS, AND
THEY TELL US WHAT THEY LIKE AND DISLIKE.
SAYING YOU'RE A CLINICAL HYPNOTIST, THERE'S SO MANY
ASSUMPTIONS WITH THAT. PEOPLE ASSUME YOU'RE CONTROLLING
THEIR MINDS. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANY KIND OF
SUSPICIONS, SO I'M GOING WITH TOY TESTERS.
>> HOW DO YOU GET INTO THAT? >> I WORK IN MARKET RESEARCH.
>> THAT'S SO COOL. >> OH, MY CONTACT.
SORRY. >> LET'S DO IT!
LET'S GO TO THE COUCH REAL QUICK.
>> DO IT. >> I'M GOING TO START REAL
QUICK, OKAY? MY NAME IS DANIEL.
I'M 35 YEARS OLD. I'M FROM LAS VEGAS CAN BE APP
I'M AN ELVIS IMPERSONATOR. >> DANIEL, LITTLE DOES HE KNOW I
HAVE A LOT OF IMPERSONATIONS IN MY BACK POCKET TOO.
WHAT'S UP, AMERICA? I'M THE NEW HOH.
WHO WANTS TO SEE MY HOH ROOM? OKAY.
THESE HOUSE GUESTS WANT TO PLAY, WE CAN PLAY.
COME ON. WE HAVE A GAME TO PLAY.
LET ME KNOW ANYTHING THAT'S NOT QUALITY.

BABE. >> NO, STRAIGHT UP.

THAT GETS. >> MY NAME IS MONTE.
I'M FROM THE STATE OF DELAWARE. I'M A PERSONAL TRAINER.
I ACTUALLY QUIT MY JOB AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR TO GO
FULL TIME INTO PERSONAL TRAINING.

DEBT DEBT, MITCH. FORMER BEAUTY QUEEN.
I'M A STYLIST. I SPECIALIZE IN MEN'S WARE.

>> MY NAME IS TURNER. I'M AN ARTIST, AND I MAKE RUGS
LIKE THIS. I MAKE EVERYTHING -- I MAKE
CLOTHES, ALBUM COVERS, ALL OF THAT.
THAT'S ME. >> HI.
MY NAME IS NICOLE. I'M A PRIVATE CHEF, AND I'M 41.
>> SHE'S GOING TO COOK FOR US. >> I'M LOOKING OVER AT NICOLE.
SHE LOOK DOPE AND HER ENERGY AND HER VIBE, AND HER HAIR IS SICK.
WE HAVE BASICALLY THE SAME HAIR STYLE.
I'M FEELING HER VIBES. I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO GET
ALONG WITH THIS GIRL THIS SUMMER.
>> OH, THAT'S ME. I AM BRITTANY.
I'M 32 YEARS OLD. I AM MARRIED TO MY HUBBY MAN,
STEVEN. >> STEVEN!

>> I'M FROM BRAZIL. I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR ABOUT NINE
YEARS. I WORK AS A FLIGHT ATTENDANT ON
PRIVATE JETS. I'M TRYING TO GET MY DEGREE TO
BECOME A SEX COACH. >> WAIT A MINUTE.
>> DO YOU THINK SHE NEEDS AN ASSISTANT COACH?
>> WOW. >> INDY IS BEAUTIFUL.
I LOVE BRAZILIANS, AND THEN SHE DROPS THE BOMB THAT SHE'S
TRAINING TO BECOME A SEX COACH. I'M LIKE WHAT?
>> THIS HOUSE GOING TO BE NOISY. >> I THINK WE SHOULD GET UP,
GUYS. LET'S CHEERS!
>> WHERE ARE MY BACKSTAGE HOLDERS AT?
>> BACKSTAGE BOSS. WHERE'S MY GIRL?
THIS IS GOING TO LOOK GREAT ON YOU.
HEY, THAT'S PRETTY DOPE. >> SO WE HAVE TO WEAR THOSE ALL
WEEK? >> ALL WEEK.
>> BACKSTAGE, I AM IN LIMBO. I CAN'T BE NOMINATED.
I CAN'T PLAY IN THE VETO COMP, I CAN'T BE A REPLACEMENT NOM, BUT
THAT'S JUST ABOUT IT. AAM I CONFUSED?
ABSOLUTELY. BUT I STILL GET TO PLAY MY
SOCIAL GAME AND HOPEFULLY SET MYSELF UP FOR SUCCESS.
>> I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.
IT'S HARD BECAUSE I THINK WITH THIS BACKSTAGE TWIST, I DON'T
HAVE ANYTHING TO OFFER PEOPLE, RIGHT?
LIKE I HAVE NOTHING TO BARGAIN WITH, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY
LEVERAGE, AND I FEEL A LITTLE STUCK.
EVERYTHING I WANTED TO DO AT THE BEGINNING OF MY GAME HAS NOT
PANNED OUT. >> YOU GUYS LOOK GOOD.
>> THERE YOU GO. THIS IS COME IF I.
BACKSTAGE. >> I LOVE IT.
>> THEY LOOK PRETTY DOPE. >> WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TIME
IT IS, RIGHT? >> THIS IS STRAIGHT UP VEGAS.
>> HOUSE GUESTS, I NEED EVERYONE IN THE LIVING ROOM, PLEASE.
"BIG BROTHER" HAS ANNOUNCEMENT. HOUSE GUESTS, AS EVERY
FESTIVAL-GOER KNOWS, THERE'S THE VIP SECTION, THERE'S THE CHEAP
SEATS. AT BB TEST, THERE'S SOMETHING
EVEN WORSE, THE HAVE-NOTES. THEY MUST TAKE COLD SHOWERS, CAN
ONLY EAT BB SLOP AND WILL ENDURE THE BB MOTEL'S DREADED HAVE-NOT
ROOM FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK. AS THE FIRST HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD
OF THE SUMMER, IT'S MY DUTY TO NAME THE FIRST FOUR HAVE-NOTES.
I CANNOT BE A HAVE-NOT, NOR CAN THE BACKSTAGE BOSS NOR THE THREE
BACKSTAGE PASS HOLDERS. SO I HAVE TO CHOOSE.
>> I'LL DO IT. I'LL VOLUNTEER.
I'M CHOOSING TO VOLUNTEER TO BE A HAVE-NOT THIS WEEK BECAUSE I
THINK IT COULD HELP ME GAIN FAVOR WITH THE HOUSE AS WELL AS
THE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD. I'M HERE TO WIN $750,000, NOT
HAVE A HOT DOG WHENEVER I WANT. >> I'LL VOLUNTEER.
>> REALLY? >> MY GOAL THIS WEEK IS TO NOT
GET BLOOD ON MY HANDS. YOU WANT TO VOLUNTEER?
GO TO THE HAVE-NOT ROOM. IT'S ONLY GOING TO HELP MY GAME,
AND SUCKS FOR YOU. OKAY.
IT'S GOING TO BE JOSEPH, MONTE, AND KYLE.
LET'S GO CHECK OUT YOUR NEW BEDROOM UPSTAIRS.
>> OH, MAN. >> I OWE YOU GUYS.
>> OH, MY GOD! >> BRO.
>> I GOT THE SLIDE. >> OH, HELL NO.
>> I SEE LIKE A HALF SLICE OF WATERMELON, A LITTLE PINEAPPLE,
A BUTTERFLY, AND I'M LIKE, HOW IN THE WORLD ARE THEY GOING TO
BE ABLE TO SLEEP ON ALL OF THIS? >> I WANT THE PINEAPPLE.
>> THE POND THAT MY GOATS DRINK OUT OF AT HOME LOOKS BETTER THAN
THIS HAVE-NOT ROOM. >> WE'RE GOING TO SLEEP
HORRIBLY. WE HAVE TOWELS AT BLANKETS AND
POOL FLOATTIES AS OUR MATTRESSES.
I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP A WINK THIS WEEK.
I VOLUNTEERED BECAUSE YOU VOLUNTEERED.
>> ALSO, SLOP STARTS NOW, OKAY? >> OH, NO.
>> OH, COME ON NOW. >> COME ON.
TASTE IT. I VOLUNTEERED TO BE A HAVE-NOT
BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO BE SELFISH.
IT'S A GOOD CHANCE TO GET ON PEOPLE'S GOOD SIDE.
I REALLY DIDN'T MIND IT. NOW THAT I'M DOING IT, I MIND IT
A LITTLE BIT, BUT -- IT TASTES LIKE SLAU.
>> OH, MY GOD. >> THIS IS SO AWESOME.
>> LET ME TURN THIS OFF. COME THROUGH.
>> HAS ANYBODY COME UP TO YOU YET?
>> NO. I'M PISSED.
I WANT TO TALK GAME. YOU'RE MY NUMBER ONE.
I'M TELLING YOU NOW, I WILL NOT STRAY.
LET'S GO. WHEN YOU WALKED IN THAT
BACKYARD, I WAS LIKE, THAT'S IT. SHE'S THE ONE.
THE MINUTE I SAW NICOLE WALK IN THAT BACKYARD, WE LOCKED EYES,
AND I KNEW IMMEDIATELY, SHE'S GOING TO BE MY FINAL TWO WHETHER
SHE LOOKS IT OR NOT. IT'S THE WAY SHE CARRIED
HERSELF. EVERYTHING ABOUT HER TOLD ME YOU
CAN TRUST THIS GIRL. >> I SAW YOUR HAIR, AND I WAS
LIKE, STOP STARING. I FOUND MY MATCH IN HERE.
DANIEL IS MY RIDE OR DIE. THERE'S NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT
TO BE IN POWER. I THINK DANIEL'S REIGN THIS WEEK
IS GOING TO SET US UP FOR THE FUTURE TREMENDOUSLY.
>> WHETHER IT'S A GROUP OF US OR WHATEVER, I WANT US TO BE ON OUR
OWN ULTIMATELY. TRY TO BE LOW KEY.
I WANT TO BE THE RUG RATS. BE LOW KEY.
FROM RATS TO RICHES. >> I LOVE IT.
>> ALL THE WAY TO THE FINAL TWO. >> WE ARE THE ROGUE RATS.
THAT MEANS WE'RE GOING TO STAY LOW, KEEP IT A MYSTERY, STAY
AWAY FROM EACH OTHER. WHEN WE DO MEET UP, WE'RE GOING
TO RAT ON EVERYONE. WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT A MYSTERY
UNTIL WE GET TO THE FINAL TWO CHAIRS.
AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE LIKE, HOW DID THEY GET THERE?
WE WENT ROGUE AND WENT FROM RATS TO RICHES.
WE'RE ALONE. WE'RE ALONE.
>> WE HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT. >> OKAY.
>> GOT TO ACT LIKE WE'RE DOING SOMETHING.
SO THESE SLIPPERS ARE SO GREAT. BUT LISTEN.
SO THERE'S ALREADY A FEW PEOPLE WHERE I'M LIKE, THEY'RE SNAKY.
EVERYONE IS LIKE, EVERYONE'S SO NICE AND SO SWEET.
HELL NO. THERE'S SNAKES IN THE GARDEN.
I CAN ALREADY SNIFF OUT THE SNAKES.
>> I REALLY LIKE ALYSSA. WE'RE ALREADY BONDING BECAUSE
WE'RE IN THE BACKSTAGE TOGETHER. SHE'S MY GIRL.
WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS IN COMMON.
WE BOTH SOMETIMES SLEEP WITH OUR MAKEUP ON, AND I LOVE HER.
>> WE HAVE TO BE FRIENDS WITH THE H TO, H, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF
I TRUST HIM. >> I DON'T TRUST HIM.
WE SHOULD TELL HIM WHAT HE WANTS TO HEAR TO GET THROUGH THIS
WEEK. >> BUT WE NEED TO FORM AN
ALLIANCE. I THINK WE SHOULD TRY TO GET TO
FINAL TWO. WE SHOULD MAKE A FINAL TWO RIGHT
NOW. >> GIRL, SCORPIO SISTERS.
I KNEW I WANTED TO FIND MY RIDE OR DIE DAY ONE.
YOU NEED SOMEONE WHO YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TRUST NOT TO
STAB YOU IN THE BACK, SO PALOMA IS THAT PERSON FOR ME.
>> THEY CAN'T SEE US WALK OUT OF HERE.
I'M GOING TO HIDE. >> OKAY.
HOW AM I GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE?
>> WE'RE SOLID, RIGHT? >> YEAH, SOLID.
YEP, YEP. >> LIKE, I --
>> YES, YES! >> HEY, OH!
>> GET IT, TAYLOR. >> YES.
SO ELEGANT. >> HAVE A LITTLE FUN.
HAVE SOME FUN, TAYLOR. I'M PLAYING POOL WITH POOCH,
MONTE, AND THEN KYLE. IF I'M INVITED TO PLAY POOL, I
WILL. AM I A POOL SHARK BY ANY MEANS,
NO. I'M TRYING TO BOND WITH THE
GUYS. I'M REALLY NERVOUS THEY'VE GOT
THIS ALL GUYS ALLIANCE. THE BEST THING I CAN DO IS TRY
TO PLAY THEIR GAME. PLAYING POOL IS A WAY TO TALK
AND HEAR HOW THEY COMMUNICATE SO I CAN INFILTRATE, SPEAK THEIR
LANGUAGE, AND TRY TO TALK TO THEM.
>> OH, AND SHE'S SET UP PERFECT FOR THE TEN.
>> THAT WAS HOT. >> TAYLOR IS WONDERFULLY
ATTRACTIVE. SHE'S VERY CONFIDENT.
SHE'S WITTY AND CLEARLY A VERY COMPETITIVE PERSON.
>> LIKE THAT. LITTLE TAP.
>> MY INITIAL IMPRESSION OF TAYLOR IS SHE WANTS TO TRY TO
USE HER BEAUTY TO ALLURE MEN, WHICH IS A STRATEGY THAT IS SO
OLD. >> GO AHEAD, GIRL.
>> WHOO! >> LIKE HER DEMEANOR COMES
ACROSS EVEN MORE COCKY WHEN SHE'S NOT TRYING TO MAKE AN
EFFORT WITH WOMEN. SHE'S DIGGING A HOLE FOR HERSELF
WITH THE GIRLS. >> SHE GOT IT.
GOOD GAME. GOOD JOB.
>> I CAN RUN WITH THE BOYS. >> WE CAN SEE THAT.
>> I WANT TO KIND OF KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON UPSTAIRS.
WHAT'S HER NAME'S UP THERE, TAYLOR.
THE BOYS ARE UPSTAIRS, THE GIRLS ARE DOWNSTAIRS.
WE HAVE TWO WOMEN MISSING, NICOLE AND OF COURSE TAYLOR.
SHE WANTED TO GO PLAY HER CARDS RIGHT WITH THE BOYS.
NO SURPRISE THERE. >> OH, I'M PLAYING THIS GUY?
COME ON. >> WHY IS TAYLOR UP THERE?
>> SHE'S LIKE THE BOYS' GIRLS INSTEAD OF --
>> THIS IS THE ROOM OF GIRLS' GIRLS.
>> SHE'S TRYING TO GET GOOD WITH THE GUY.
SHE'S FULL-TIME PRK AGEANT. >> SINCE HER MOTHER WAS LIKE
PAGEANTRY, YOU KNOW? >> IF WE MAKE THIS HAPPEN, GIRLS
HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER. >> SERIOUSLY.
>> NO TALKING -- THEY ALWAYS DO THAT.
>> I'M NOTICING THE DYNAMICS OF THE GAME SO FAR.
GUYS WERE THE LAST ONES ON STAGE FOR THE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD COMP.
I WANT THE GIRLS TO BAND TOGETHER SO WE CAN GET THESE
STRONG MALE FIGURES OUT OF THE HOUSE IMMEDIATELY.
>> WE'RE GOING TO MANIPULATE THE MEN.
WE'LL HAVE A SIDE ALLIANCE WITH THEM.
>> YOU MAKE THIS A THING, AND THEN EVERYBODY GETS -- LIKE THE
PEOPLE THAT CAN, GET CLOSE. >> AND IF THEY WIN HOH, I GOT
YOU GUYS. I'M GOING TO BE LIKE, THERE'S NO
POINT IN PUTTING THEM UP, THEY'RE NOT A THREAT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WE HAVE TO BE IN THEIR EARS AND
WATCH OUT FOR EACH OTHER, OR WE'RE GOING TO GET PICKED OFF
ONE BY ONE. >> WHAT ARE WE CALLED?
>> GIRLS' GIRLS. >> GIRLS' GIRLS.
>>> SO OUTSIDE OF FLORIDA, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
>> JUST CANADA AND BAHAMAS AND A BUNCH OF STATES.
>> THAILAND. YEAH, I WAS THERE FOR SIX
MONTHS. THAILAND IS KNOWN AS THE LAND OF
SMILES. >> NO WAY.
>> I WANT TO GO TO NEWARK. ISN'T THAT THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON
EARTH? >> WHERE?
>> NEWARK. >> NEW JERSEY?
>> NO, IT'S A COUNTRY. >> THERE'S NO COUNTRY --
>> WHERE AM I THINKING ABOUT? >> I BELIEVE IT'S THE SCA
SCANDANAVIAN COUNTRY. >> DEN MARK --
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING OF! I HAVE NEWLY FOUND OUT THAT
NEWARK IS NOT A COUNTRY. IT'S NOT.
IT'S DEN MARK THAT'S THE HAPPIEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
SHE'S GOING TO HELP ME WITH MY GEOGRAPHY.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I THOUGHT -- NUWARK, DEN MARK, THEY SOUND THE
SAME. >> I KNOW.
FOR REAL. >> HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
YOU FEEL GOOD? >> I'M EXCITED.
>> THERE'S SIX OF US? I THINK WE CAN KEEP EACH OTHER
SAFE. JUST TALK TO DANIEL.
I WANT TO SEE WHERE HIS HEAD IS AT.
>> SEE WHERE HIS HEAD IS AT AND COME REPORT BACK TO OUR CORE
GROUP. >> I DID NOT COME TO THE "BIG
BROTHER" HOUSE TO SIT AROUND AND NOT MAKE BIG MOVES.
SO I WANT TO TALK TO DANIEL IMMEDIATELY.
I WANT TO OPEN HIS EYES TO THE STRONG GUYS THAT ARE HERE.
SO I'M CURIOUS LIKE WHERE YOU'RE AT.
>> SO RIGHT NOW, I HAVE NO ONE EVEN ON MY RADAR WHERE IT'S
LIKE -- I JUST NEED REASONS TO PUT PEOPLE UP.
>> MY THINKING, GET OUT THE BETTER COMPETITORS.
I FEEL BAD BECAUSE A LOT OF THOSE GOOD COMPETITORS
VOLUNTEERED FOR THE HAVE-NOT ROOM, BUT THAT'S WHY THEY
VOLUNTEERED. >> REALLY?
YOU THINK SO? >> I KNOW.
MONTE, JOSEPH, MICHAEL, AND KYLE.
I WANT DANIEL TO KNOW THAT THE HAVE-NOTES VOLUNTEERED BECAUSE
THEY THINK THAT DANIEL WILL CUT HIM SOME SLACK.
SO I WANT HIM TO BE AWARE OF THAT AND PAY ATTENTION.
>> IT MAKE SENSE THE PHYSICAL PLAYERS VOLUNTEERED.
IT DID NOT EVEN CROSS MY MIND, AND NOW IT MAKES SENSE.
>> IT WAS A SMART GAME PLAY FOR THEM.
BECAUSE FOUR OF THEM DID IT, IT WAS SO -- IT WAS TOO MANY GOOD
PLAYERS. >> I'M SO GLAD YOU CAME UP HERE.
OKAY. HOW DID I NOT THINK ABOUT THIS?
THEY VOLUNTEERED SO THEY WOULDN'T GET PUT ON THE BLOCK.
OBVIOUSLY. LAST NIGHT YOU FELT PRETTY GOOD
ABOUT THEM VOLUNTEERING, BUT NOW NOT SO MUCH.
BUT I CAN'T PUT THEM UP, RIGHT? IS THAT BAD?
>> LISTEN. I'M GOING TO BACK YOU UP, AND
ALSO I CAN HAVE THE GIRLS BACK YOU UP.
>> IF YOU'RE IN A HAVE-NOT ROOM AND PHYSICAL PLAYERS VOLUNTEER,
IT DID NOT EVEN CROSS MY MIND, AND NOW IT MAKES SENSE.
>> WHOEVER YOU PUT UP, I'M 100% GOING TO BACK UP.
>> YOUR THOUGHTS ALREADY HELPED SO MUCH.
FOR ME TO THINK ALL DAY WATCHING THEM WITH THAT IN MIND, I'M SO
READY. IF THESE GUYS THINK VOLUNTEERING
FOR SLOP IS GOING TO KEEP THEM SAFE, THEY'RE WRONG.
NOW I SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING. SO THANKS, AMEERAH, NOW I SEE
WHAT THEY'RE DOING. THANKS SO MUCH.
>> NO PROBLEM.
♪ >>> THE PLAN WAS TO WIN HEAD OF
HOUSEHOLD WEEK ONE, WHICH DIDN'T GO THROUGH, SO NOW I NEED TO
PIVOT. AS A "BIG BROTHER" SUPERFAN, I
KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO COME ACROSS AS PLAYING TOO HARD TOO
FAST. THAT CAN PUT A BIG TARGET ON
YOUR BACK AND BLOW UP IN YOUR FACE.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M DOING MORE LISTENING THAN TALKING.
I THINK THAT'S THE BEST STRATEGY AT THE INITIAL PART OF THE GAME
WHEN PEOPLE ARE SEEMING A LITTLE HESITANT TO GAME TALK.
SO I DON'T WANT TO BOMBARD YOU WITH GAME RIGHT AWAY IN THE
MORNING. BUT HAVE YOU HAD ANY -- HAVE YOU
THOUGHT HOW YOU WANT TO DO THINGS?
DO YOU WANT TO TALK TO PEOPLE ONE ON ONE THROUGHOUT THE DAY?
WHAT'S THE VIBE? >> I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE, I LOVE
PEOPLE COMING TO THE ROOM AND HANGING TO TALK OR ANYTHING LIKE
THAT. YEAH.
COME THROUGH ANY TIME. I DON'T CARE.
IF IT'S IN THE ROOM, COOL. IF NOT, IT DON'T MATTER TO ME.
>> MAN, I HOPE I GET ME A NICE LITTLE TAN OUT THERE.
>> YOU WILL. >> MY LITTLE SUNNY ZONE.
>> I KIND OF WISH I WOULDN'T HAVE PUT MAKEUP ON BECAUSE I
COULD HAVE GOTTEN A GOOD TAN ON MY FACE.
>> TINTING MOISTERIZER IS GOOD TOO.
>> I LIKE THAT TATTOO. >> IT'S GREEK.
IT MEANS GRATITUDE. MY GRANDMOTHER PASSED AWAY LAST
YEAR. >> I WANT TO GET A TATTOO.
HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO DEAL WITH LIKE --
>> I STILL HAVE NOT DEALT WITH ALL OF LIKE WHAT MY FEELINGS ARE
BECAUSE SHE WAS LIKE A MOM TO ME.
YOUR LOSS, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND YOU, BABE.
>> IT WAS ONLY TWO MONTHS AGO. >> YEAH.
>> IT WAS LUNG CANCER? >> YEAH.
BACK THEN THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE THINGS THEY DO NOW TO PROTECT
THEM FROM MOLD AND ASBESTOS. >> OH, HE WAS A FIREMAN?
THAT'S AMAZING. >> HE SAVED A LOT OF LIVES, SO
YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE POSITIVE BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT
SUCKS BECAUSE IT'S LIKE, DAMN, I DIDN'T GET -- YOU KNOW WHAT I
MEAN? >> YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S
GOING TO BE THE LAST DAY FOR ANYONE.
>> I LOST MY FATHER, AND I KNOW I WOULDN'T BE HERE WITHOUT HIM
BECAUSE NOT ONLY DID WE WATCH THE GAME TOGETHER, BUT HE ALWAYS
USED TO PUSH ME TO GO FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
BEING IN THE "BIG BROTHER" HOUSE MEANS THE ABSOLUTE WORLD TO ME.
I THINK THE HARDEST THING IS THAT I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD KIDS
YET. I WANT MY KIDS TO EXPERIENCE
THAT, BUT IT'S GOING TO SUCK, YOU KNOW?
>> I KNOW. I KNOW.
HEARING JASMINE'S STORY ABSOLUTELY RESONATES WITH ME
BECAUSE I LOST SOMEONE SO CLOSE TO MY HEART.
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT IT'S LIKE LOSING YOUR FATHER.
JASMINE BEING ABLE TO SHARE HER STORY WITH ME IS LIKE A
STEPPINGSTONE TO KNOWING HER TRUST IN ME AND THE LOYALTY
THAT'S THERE. I RESPECT HER SO MUCH.
YOU'RE HERE FOR A REASON. THERE ARE GUARDIAN ANGELS.
I TOTALLY GET YOU. I'M LIKE ALREADY CRYING.
>> LOOK AT US! RIGHT BEFORE HE PASSED, HE SAID,
WHEN I GOT IN THAT HOUSE, TO GIVE THEM HELL.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.
I'M BLESSED TO BE HERE, AND I KNOW HE'S ROOTING ME ON FROM
HEAVEN. >> THEY MAY NOT BE HERE, BUT
THEY'RE HERE. >> WHAT UP?
>> IT'S SO LATE. I THINK I'M --
>> WHAT TIME IS IT? DO YOU KNOW?
>> 1:00. I JUST LOOKED.
>> IT'S NOT AS LATE AS I THOUGHT.
GOING UP TO THE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD ROOM TO TALK WITH
DANIEL, I WANT HIM TO LOOK AT ME AS SOMEONE VALUABLE AND AN ASSET
TO HIS GAME. I NEED TO COME UP WITH A PITCH
THAT'S AN ATTRACTIVE OFFER TO HIM.
I WANT TO PLAY THE GAME WITH PEOPLE WHO ALSO WANT TO PLAY THE
GAME. WINNING THE FIRST HOH SHOWS YOU
ARE HERE TO PLAY. HOW THE GAME GOES BECAUSE YOU
CAN'T COMPETE NEXT WEEK, SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR THE BEST SPOT
NEXT WEEK, KEEPING PEOPLE HERE THAT AREN'T GOING TO COME AFTER
YOU AND PUT YOU UP. OBVIOUSLY IF YOU CLOSE NOT TO
NOMINATE ME, I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL AND I CAN 100% PROMISE
IF I WERE TO WIN NEXT WEEK, I WOULDN'T PUT YOU UP.
THAT WOULD EXTEND TO WHENEVER I DID WIN HOH BECAUSE I WOULD HOPE
I WOULD WIN AN HOH, I WOULD BE WILLING TO REMEMBER.
I'M NOT GOING TO LIE TO YOU. I'M A BIG FAN OF THE GAME.
IT MEANS A LOT FOR ME TO BE HERE.
TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO GO HOME WOULD BE DEVASTATING.
>> MICHAEL'S PITCH IS THE BIGGEST "BIG BROTHER" BOILER
PLAY BULL CRAP. I DON'T CARE.
IN "BIG BROTHER," IF YOU'RE A SUPERFAN, YOU KNOW EVERYTHING
ABOUT THIS SHOW. IF YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON TO
ENTER, YOU'RE NOT WINNING THIS GAME.
I KNOW HOW THAT GOES, AND GUESS WHO ELSE DID, MICHAEL.
HE HOLDS THE DOOR OPEN FOR US. I KNEW IMMEDIATELY, THIS GUY IS
A SUPERFAN. I GOT HIM FIGURED OUT.
IT MAY SEEM LIKE A GREAT IDEA TO TEAM UP WITH ANOTHER SUPERFAN,
BUT I DON'T TRUST THE GUY. >> JUST THAT EXTRA SAFETY IS
NICE TO HEAR. I FEEL GOOD THAT YOU CAME UP
HERE. >> I FEEL LIKE HE'S BEING
RECEPTIVE TO MY IDEA. SO I'M FEELING GOOD AT THE
MOMENT AND LIKE I MIGHT ESCAPE THE BLOCK THIS WEEK.
♪ >>> MY FAMILY IS LIKE PRETTY
RELIGIOUS. SO I GREW UP IN UTAH, UTAH
MORMANS. >> GROWING UP IN UTAH, I WAS
VERY SHELTERED, THERE WASN'T A LOT OF DIVERSITY.
COMING INTO THE "BIG BROTHER" HOUSE, THERE'S 16 HOUSE GUESTS
FROM ALL DIFFERENT BACK GROWNS. I'M ABLE TO LEARN SO MUCH ABOUT
DIFFERENT CULTURES. >> MY FAMILY IS PREDOMINANTLY
MUSLIM, AND I GET THE BEST OF BOTH, AND I RESPECT BOTH
RELIGIONS. I LEARN A LOT AND I CONTINUE TO
DO SO. MY MOM IS A HUGE FAN OF THE
SHOW. SO --
>> LET'S GO. >> SO SHE LOVES IT, AND SHE'S
PART OF THE REASON I'M HERE BECAUSE IT'S A WAY SHE CAN SEE
AND INTERACT WITH ME MORE THAN WE EVER HAVE.
GROWING UP IN AN ARAB HOUSEHOLD HAS DEFINITELY SHAPED WHO I AM
TODAY. A LOT OF IT HAS INFLUENCED ME.
A BIG THING THE HOSPITALITY AND GETTING TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER.
I THINK I'M GETTING ALONG WELL WITH EVERYBODY, OR AT LEAST I
HOPE. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS I
WANTED TO COME ON THE SHOW. IN ALL OF "BIG BROTHER," IT'S
BEEN ME AND ONE OTHER ARAB PERSON TO COME ON THE SHOW.
AND I WAS LIKE, IT'S GOING TO STAY THIS WAY IF EVERY TIME THEY
HAND THIS OUT, FAMILIES AREN'T SUPPORTIVE.
VISIBILITY AND REPRESENTATION I THINK IS SUPERIMPORTANT, AND I
REALLY DON'T THINK IT'S SOMETHING I GOT ENOUGH OF OR
VIEWED ENOUGH. I CAN'T REPRESENT THE ENTIRE
ARAB CULTURE, BUT I CAN BE HERE, I CAN BE MYSELF, I CAN BE
AUTHENTIC. I'M SO HAPPY TO BE HERE
CONTRIBUTING TO THAT IN A WAY JOSEPH ABDIN CAN.
THERE'S A LOT TO LEARN, AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO COME
HERE. >> I LOVE THAT.
>> MY HAIR IS SO FLAT. >> I LOVE THESE PICTURES,
THOUGH. >> YOUR PICTURE?
>> ALL OF THEM. >> I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE ON
THE BLOCK. >> YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.
>> I DO THINK SOME PEOPLE ARE GAME, AND I'M NOT GOING TO SAY
THEY'RE NOT. >> IT'S STARTED.
>> ARE YOU NERVOUS FOR NOMS? >> HE COOL WITH EVERYBODY.
HE'S NOT TALKING. HE'S NOT SAYING NOTHING.
>> HE'S MINGLING WITH EVERYBODY. >> I JUST HAVE A FEELING THAT
SOMETIMES I JUST DON'T FIT. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
>> YEAH. >> IT'S EASY IF YOU DON'T FIT,
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? I'M FEELING NERVOUS BECAUSE OF
THE NOMINATIONS ONLY BECAUSE I HAVEN'T TALKED GAME WITH DANIEL.
I JUST KIND OF WANT TO LAY LOW AND CONTINUE TO MAKE FRIENDS,
BUILD RELATIONSHIPS. >> I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE
ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE GIRLS.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO GO HOME OR THE
SECOND. >> THAT AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN.
>> PEOPLE THAT ARE MARRIED. >> WE AUTOMATICALLY GOT TO STICK
TOGETHER. >> MARRIED PEOPLE?
>> YEAH. >> PERSONALLY, I DON'T THINK
THAT THE MARRIED PEOPLE STICKING TOGETHER WOULD BE BEST FOR MY
GAME AT THIS MOMENT. IF I WAS HIM, I WOULD BE TALKING
TO PEOPLE LIKE I MAY BE OLDER B WITH BUT I CAN HANG WITH THE
COOL KIDS TOO. >> WE JUST GOT HERE.
I DON'T KNOW. >> LIFE'S LIKE A ROLLER COASTER.
>> HOW ARE YOU FEELING? THIS IS LIKE A LOT OF PRESSURE.
>> YEAH. IT'S OBVIOUSLY EXCITING TO JUST
BE PLAYING THE GAME. BUT IT'S DEFINITELY A LOT OF
PRESSURE AND NOT KNOWING WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THIS BACKSTAGE
STUFF IS S CONFUSING. >> IF I WERE DANIEL, I WOULD
WANT SOMEONE TO GO UP THERE AND BE REAL WITH ME.
I CAN'T BE NOMINATED, BUT I STILL GET TO PLAY MY SOCIAL
GAME. I'M THE BEST PERSON FOR HIM TO
TALK TO BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYTHING FROM HIM.
TAYLOR, SHE'S A QUESTION MARK. >> SHE'S ONE OF THE PEOPLE I
DIDN'T CONNECT WITH IMMEDIATELY. AND THAT'S JUST GOING TO HAPPEN
IN THIS HOUSE. >> I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I CAN
TRUST HER. THAT'S THE ONLY PERSON I HAVE
BEEN -- I HAVE SEEN THE SLIP. TAYLOR IS NOT PART OF THE GIRLS'
GIRLS ALLIANCE, AND SHE'S SPENDING SO MUCH TIME AROUND THE
GUYS. I WOULDN'T GO FOR HER BECAUSE IF
SHE STAYS IN THE HOUSE, SHE'S GOING TO COME BURN ME LIKE A
WITCH. ALL THE GIRLS WITH V HAD THE
POW-WOWS. AND WE'RE LIKE, IS TAYLOR A
GIRLS' GIRL, BUT SHE LIKES HANGING WITH THE GUYS, WHICH IS
SUPERCOOL. BUT THIS ISN'T A GAME TO IMPRESS
THE GUYS. IT'S A GAME TO MAKE FRIENDS AND
BE GOOD WITH THE GIRLS. THAT WAS MY SKEPTICISM ON HER.
IT'S ALL ON YOU TO FIGURE IT >> MY GOAL AS HOH IS TO PUT TWO
PEOPLE UP WHO AREN'T NECESSARILY ALIGNED WITH OTHER PEOPLE THAT
WAY I DON'T HAVE MORE PEOPLE COMING AFTER ME.
WE'RE NOT SURE WHERE TAYLOR STANDS, SO THE THOUGHT OF HER
GOING ON THE BLOCK IS DEFINITELY AN OPTION.
I'M SO GLAD YOU CAME UP HERE.
>>> HEY, GUYS. IT'S TIME FOR THE NOMINATION
CEREMONY.
♪
>>> THIS IS THE NOMINATION CEREMONY.
IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY AS THE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD TO NOMINATE
TWO HOUSE GUESTS FOR EVICTION. POOCH, PALOMA, AND BRITTANY,
BECAUSE YOU WERE BACKSTAGE LAST WEEK, NONE OF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE.
IN HERE IS THE KEYS OF THE PEOPLE I'M NOMINATING.
I WILL TURN IN TWO KEYS TO LOCK IN MY NOMINATIONS, AND THEIR
FACES WILL APPEAR ON THE MEMORY WALL.
THE FIRST HOUSE GUEST I HAVE NOMINATED IS -- THE NEXT HOUSE
GUEST I HAVE NOMINATED IS --
I HAVE NOMINATED YOU TARRENCE AND YOU MICHAEL.
LOOK, BEING FIRST HOH IS NOT EASY, ESPECIALLY BEING IN A
HOUSE WITH PEOPLE I GENUINELY LOVE AND GET ALONG WITH.
THERE'S NOT A REASON TO PUT ANY ONE OF YOU ON THE BLOCK, BUT I
THOUGHT THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS WOULD BE THE PUT THE TWO PEOPLE
WHO HAVE NOT SPOKEN ENOUGH OR MUCH GAME WITH ME.
NOW YOU'RE IN THE POSITION TO GO FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE IN THE POWER
OF VETO. THIS NOMINATION CEREMONY IS
ADJOURNED. I'VE NOMINATED MICHAEL AND
TARRENCE FOR EVICTION. MICHAEL IS MY TARGET BECAUSE
HE'S A SUPERFAN, AND THERE'S ONLY ROOM FOR ONE SUPERFAN IN
THIS HOUSE. BUT ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
ALL OF THIS CAN BLOW UP IN MY FACE, AND I'LL HAVE TO ADAPT.
>> MY FACE COMES UP ON THE MEMORY WALL.
I DEFINITELY DIDN'T LIKE SEEING MYSELF AT THIS MOMENT.
IF YOU KNOW ME, I'M NOT FIXING TO LAY DOWN.
I'M COMING FOR THAT VETO. THERE'S NO WAY D.J. SHOW TIME IS
GOING HOME. WE KEEPING THE PARTY RIGHT HERE
AT THE "BIG BROTHER" HOUSE. >> SO I THINK DANIEL'S
EXPLANATION FOR PUTTING ME UP IS BULL [ BLEEP ] QUITE FRANKLY.
I DID TRY TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM.
I DID APPROACH HIM. IF HE THINKS I'M GOING TO BUY
HIS EXCUSE, HE'S AN IDIOT. AS A SUPERFAN, I WANT TO WIN
THAT VETO, SHOVE IT IN DANIEL'S FACE.
>> EVEN THOUGH DANIEL HASN'T NOMINATED TAYLOR, SEEING TWO
GUYS ON THE BLOCK IS WONDERFUL FOR PALOMA'S GAME BECAUSE OF
NUMBERS. THE ONLY THING I'M WORRIED ABOUT
IS THIS BACKSTAGE FIASCO. I HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING A STRONG
SOCIAL GAME. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S IN STORE.
>> Announcer: WHO WILL WIN THE POWER OF VETO, AND WILL IT BE
USED TO SAVE EITHER MICHAEL OR TARRENCE?
FIND OUT WEDNESDAY AT 8:00/7:00 CENTRAL ON "BIG BROTHER."
