>>> PREVIOUSLY ON "BIG BROTHER,"
JASMINE, APRILLYSSA AND AMEERAHE THE GIRLS ALLIANCE.
BUT THEY ALSO SOLD ANOTHER ALLIANCE WITH NICOLE.
AT THE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD QUALIFIER COMPETITION, THE
SOUTHERN BELLE FELL AND SOON HER ANKLE STARTED TO SWELL.
>> LUCKILY MY ANKLE IS NOT BROKEN.
IT IS SPRAINED SO I'M GOING TO PUSH THROUGH AND MAKE SURE I GET
THE JOB DONE. >> WITH POWER ON THE LINE, IT
WAS DO OR PIE AND JASMINE WAS THE CREAM OF THE CROP.
>> YOU ARE THE NEW HOH! >> I JUST WON THE FREAKIN' HOH!
>> TAYLOR SEEMED LIKE THE EASY TARGET.
>> I WANT TO GET TAYLOR OUT THIS WEEK BECAUSE SHE'S ALREADY BEEN
ON THE BLOCK AND I DON'T GET ANY MORE BLOOD ON MY HAND, IT WILL
BE EASY. >> I THINK THE BEST WAY THIS
WEEK IS PULL UP ME AND BRITTANY. >> THE NUMBER ONE RULE IS NEVER
VOLUNTEER AS A PAWN. >> WHEN THEY LEARNED OF THE GAME
PLAN -- THEY SAW AN GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO SCREW THE POOCH.
>> IF POOCH IS GOING TO VOLUNTEER TO PUT HIMSELF ON THE
BLOCK, I THINK WE MAY NEED TO STRIKE NOW.
>> POOCH PITCHED JASMINE HIS PAWN PLAN.
>> I'M WILLING TO DO THIS TO GET TAYLOR OUT.
>> SHE WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO PUT HIM IN THE LINE OF FIRE.
>> THIS MIGHT BE MY OPPORTUNITY TO GET ONE OF THE BIGGEST
THREATS OUT OF THE HOUSE AND HE VOLUNTEERING!
>> UNAWARE THAT SHE WAS A POSSIBLE TARGET --
>> I FEEL PRETTY GOOD WITH JASMINE BUT AS FAR AS THE GAME
GOES, IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE FOR HER TO PUT ME UP.
>> TAYLOR ALSO AGREED TO BE A PAWN.
>> I'M NOT GOING TO SAY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GO UP BECAUSE
YOU'LL GO UP. >> AT THE NOMINATION CEREMONY --
>> I NOMINATE YOU, TAYLOR AND YOU, POOCH.
>> BOTH SELF-APPOINTED PAWNS HIT THE BLOCK.
>> I'M NOT AN IDIOT. A PAWN THAT FEELS THE BEST
USUALLY SHOULDN'T FEEL THAT GOOD.
I FEEL PRETTY DAMN GOOD ABOUT GOING TO GET THIS VETO.
>> TONIGHT THINGS GET FISHY AT A MURTASTIC VETO COMPETITION.
WHO WILL GET THE GOLDEN POWER AND WILL IT BE USED TO SAVE
EITHER POOCH OR TAYLOR? FIND OUT RIGHT NOW ON "BIG
BROTHER"! >>> THIS NOMINATION CEREMONY IS
ADJOURNED. >> I NOMINATED POOCH AND TAYLOR.
BUT IN ALL HONESTY, I DON'T REALLY CARE WHO GOES HOME.
TAYLOR IS NOT IN A GIRLS'S GIRL ALLIANCE AND SHE'S ALREADY BEEN
ON THE BLOCK. AND POOCH IS THIS HUGE THREAT
WHO MADE THE RISKY DECISION NOMINATING HIMSELF.
THIS SHOULD BE AN EASY BREEZY WEEK.
>> WHY AM I ON THE BLOCK AGAIN? TWO WEEKS IN A ROW FROM THE VERY
JUMP OF THIS COMPETITION. >> I'M SORRY YOU'RE GOING
THROUGH THIS AGAIN. YOU'RE SO STRONG.
YOU REALLY ARE. >> BAH!
I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT THE PLAN IS. JASMINE TOLD ME I'M A PAWN THIS
WEEK BUT I CAN'T LET EVERYBODY IN THE HOUSE KNOW THAT.
PLUS PAWNS CAN GO HOME SO I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I FIGHT FOR MY
SAFETY IN THIS VETO COMPETITION. >> I'M HAPPY WITH THE
NOMINATIONS BECAUSE NOBODY FROM POST-PACK ALLIANCE IS ON THE
BLOCK. NOW WE JUST NEED TO KNOW POOCH
FEELS LIKE HE'S SITTING PRETTY AS THE PAWN SO WE CAN BLIND SIDE
HIM COME EVIBS NIGHT EVICTION N AND SEND POOCH HOME THIS WEEK.
>> I'M NOT SURPRISED I'M ON THE BLOCK.
I ASKED FOR IT SO WE CAN SEND TAYLOR HOME.
I FEEL GREAT ABOUT THE VETO. MOST IMPORTANTLY I HAVE TO MAKE
SURE IF I DON'T WIN TAYLOR DOESN'T WIN ALSO.
>> GOOD JOB. >> THAT WAS DEEP, Y'ALL.
THAT WAS VERY DEEP. >> YOU DID GOOD.
>> MAN, THIS WAS CRAZY. >> I'M JUST GLAD WE WERE SAFE
THIS WEEK, GUYS. >> ME, TOO.
>> THANKS, JAZZY FAY. >> THANKS, JAZZY FAY.
>> THIS GAME IS A LOT HARDER THAN I EXPECTED, I'M NOT GOING
TO HOLD YOU. >> QUAKING IN HIS BOOTS.
>> HE AIN'T QUAKING FOR NOTHING. IF WE GET RID OF POOCH, THAT
WOULD ACTUALLY BE ONE OF THE BEST CASE SCENARIOS.
>> YEAH. I'M TAKING MY SHOT, I'M SORRY.
I'M TRYING TO PROTECT THE GIRLS. I FEEL LIKE THE GUYS ARE JUST
GOING TO WIPE US OUT. >> THE GUYS ARE ALL WORKING
TOGETHER. >> IF WE CAN KEEP IT --
>> I'M TALKING TO SOME MEMBERS OF THE GIRLS GIRL ALLIANCE AND
NICOLE. ALTHOUGH WE WANTED TO GET TAYLOR
OUT LAST WEEK I THINK OUR BEST MOVE IS TO GET POOCH OUT THIS
HOUSE. WE KNOW HE'S GOING TO BE A BIG
THREAT LATER DOWN THE LINE AND WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO MAKE IT
TO THE END. WE'LL SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT.
WE HAVE TO DIG DEEP. >> DID YOU THINK I WAS TOO MEAN
TO TAYLOR? >> NO, YOU'RE GOOD.
>> I'LL PROBABLY KEEP IT UP THIS WEEK SO I CAN GET HER OUT.
>> FOR SURE. >> IF I GET IT, I'LL PROBABLY
USE IT BECAUSE -- >> THEN THEY WOULD BE ON TO US.
>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE IF TAYLOR GOES HOME, NOBODY IS MAD AT YOU,
WE MOVE ON AND WE'RE GOOD NEXT WEEK.
>> I THINK THIS IS VERY HILARIOUS THAT HE STILL THINKS
HE'S A PAWN BUT IN REALITY HE'S STILL MY TARGET.
THIS IS SO GREAT I'M MORE EXCITED THAN ANTS WITH SUGAR.
>> I'M GOING TO STAY ON THE COUCH AND STAY DOWN HERE FOR A
FEW MINUTES. >> IT'S GOT TO BE TAYLOR.
>> I HOPE I'M THE ONE TO VETO. >> OUT OF THE PARK.
>> OUTER SPACE. >> POOCH IS GOING HOME.
>> YOU KNOW, SCOREBOARD FOR MYSELF.
>> TAYLOR WAS DEFINITELY A TARGET LAST WEEK BUT GOING INTO
THIS WEEK, SHE'S DEFINITELY MORE OF AN ASSET THAN A LIABILITY.
AND WITH POOCH ON THE BLOCK, IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
WE NEED TO GET HIM OUT OF HERE. >> WE'RE GETTING HIM OUT OF
HERE. >> WE HAVE TO.
>> I'M EXCITED. >> SO AM I.
>> WE'RE NOT. >> WE ALL HAVE TO SEIZE THIS
OPPORTUNITY. HOWEVER, IF POOCH GETS PULLED
OFF OF THE BLOCK THIS WEEK AND WINS THIS VETO COMPETITION,
TAYLOR SHOULD BE WORRIED. >> I PROMISE YOU.
>> OKAY. >> VETO COMES TOMORROW.
HEY, IF YOU'RE AT HOME WATCHING, I'M UP ON THE BLOCK APPARENTLY
AS A PAWN, WHICH I GET. EVERYONE ELSE IS PLAYING ME.
IF THE GIRLS ARE SETTING ME UP, I'LL BE DEVASTATED.
>> THE GIRLS ARE SAYING THAT I'M THE PAWN THIS WEEK, AND AS MUCH
AS I WANT TO TRUST THEM, BECAUSE OF MY EXPERIENCE LAST WEEK, I
KNOW THE ONLY WAY CAN YOU KEEP YOURSELF SAFE IN THIS HOUSE IS
TO TAKE THE REINS YOURSELF. THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S GOING TO
STOP ME FROM TAKING THIS VETO AND PUTTING IT AROUND MY NECK.
>> ALL WE NEED IS ONE REASON TO GET RID OF HIM.
I HAVE TO BEAT HIM TOMORROW. >> HOW YOU DOING?
>> BAD. >> WHY?
>> I CAN'T GET THIS DAMN THING IN MY EYEBALL.
>> YOU'RE A CONTACT GUY? >> I HAD NEVER WORN CONTACTS
BEFORE BUT I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA COMING INTO THE BIG
BROTHER HOUSE WITH SOME OF THESE COMPS BUT I AM STRUGGLING TO GET
THESE IN MY EYES. >> DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
>> I HAVE THEM. I DON'T REALLY WEAR THEM.
>> OH, THOSE ARE SO CUTE. >> I JUST GOT CONTACTS SO I HATE
STICKING MY FINGER IN MY EYES. KYLE IS KIND OF IN THE SAME
BOAT. >> UH-OH, IT CAME OUT.
>> YOU WANT TO TRY PUTTING SOME IN?
>> NO. >> BREAO, I CAN'T DO THIS.
ALL OF A SUDDEN I COME TO MY LEFT AND I GOT MICHAEL HERE.
QUICKLY THIS IS BECOMING A COMPETITION.
I HAVE TO GET THEM IN FASTER THAN MICHAEL.
>> I MIGHT JUST GO BLIND, DUDE. [ BUZZER ]
>> YOU GET IT? >> I THINK SO.
>> YOU GUYS ARE PUTTING CONTACTS IN?
>> CORRECT. >> I GOT IT.
>> BIG BROTHER SAYS WE HAVE A CON ABOUT CONTACTS AND WHO CAN
GET THEM IN THE FASTEST, THAT'S IT, PULL ME OUT.
>> I DID IT. I'M A WHOLE NEW PERSON.
>> I'M WATCHING THE HOUSE FOR YOU.
>> NO ONE IS SENDING PUCCIARELLI HOME.
>> I FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT BEING ON BLOCK THIS WEEK.
ME AND SOME OF THE GUYS FORMED AN ALLIANCE CALL THE OWE ASSIST.
>> I LIKE THAT NOBODY'S EGO IS TOO BIG.
>> YOU AND THE OASIS. >> AS LONG AS TAYLOR DOESN'T
COME DOWN THIS WEEK AND I FEEL FINE WITH THE BACKING OF THE
OASIS. >> I WAS THINKING YOU OR KYLE.
LIKE WHATEVER YOU THROW, I'LL HAVE IT.
>> IN THE LONG RUN I'M GOING TO STAY LOYAL TO THE POST BACK
ALLIANCE. I KNOW THAT THEY'RE A STRONGER
GROUP AND I BELIEVE THAT THE POST PACK ALLIANCE HAS MORE
LONGEVITY IN THIS GAME. >> WHATEVER YOU'RE COMFORTABLE
WITH. >> Y'ALL DON'T MENS THE VETO,
YOU JUST CAN'T LET TAYLOR WIN.
>>> TODAY WAS A PURE STRUGGLE FOR ME.
>> OH, GOD. NOBODY HERE HAS ENERGY FOR THIS.
GET IN HERE, POOCH. >> JOSEPH AND POOCH HAVE THE
BIGGEST BROMANCE IN THE HOUSE. >> MY HANDS ARE COLD.
YOU HAVE TO LET ME GET IN THERE. >> I'VE NEVER SEEN TWO
MASCULINE, STRAIGHT BOYS BE SO HARD CORE FOR EACH OTHER.
>> I LOVE IT. >> IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY.
>> YOU SMELL LIKE VANILLA OR SOMETHING.
>> DUDE, YOU'RE ALWAYS COLD NOW. >> FREEZING.
>> SO MUCH TOUCHING. >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
>> MAYBE THE SHOW WE DID NOT EXPECT BUT I'M NOT JUDGY.
>> HE JUST CAUGHT A FEEL. >> HE TOUCHES ME ALL THE TIME.
HE GROPES ME. >> THEY WRESTLE A LOT, THEY TALK
ABOUT BULGES. IT'S NOTHING I WANT TO BE A PART
OF. >> ARE YOU HUGGING JOSEPH?
>> NO, I'M GOING TO HUG YOU NOW. >> GET AFTER IT.
>> ONE LADY, ANY LADY JUST GIVE HIM SOME TYPE OF PHYSICAL TOUCH
SO HE STOPS TOUCHING ME. >> I LIKE TO CUDDLE, DUDE.
>> HE'S MY GUY, MY BRO. >> I'M DEFINITELY HERE TO
CUDDLE. >> WHOEVER IT IS, I'LL PAY YOU.
>> I'M GOING TO DO IT BACK TO YOU.
>> I DON'T LIKE IT, THOUGH. >> SO YOU CAN TOUCH ME BUT I
CAN'T TOUCH YOU. >> I'M NOT SUBMISSIVE.
>> POOCH AND I DEFINITELY HAVE A DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIP.
HE'S THE GIRL FRIEND I NEVER ASKED FOR.
>> I NEED SOMEONE TO JUST HOLD ME.
>> WE'RE ONE, JOSEPH. >> IT'S TIME TO PICK PLAYERS,
HOUSEGUESTS, IN THE COMPETITION! >> ONLY SIX PEOPLE WILL
PARTICIPATE IN THE VETO COMPETITION.
THE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD, THE TWO NOMINEES AND THREE OTHER PLAYERS
SELECTED BY RANDOM DRAW. WILL THE NOMINEES PLEASE JOIN ME
UP HERE. AS HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD, I WILL
PICK FIRST. BECAUSE OF MY FOOT INJURY, I
DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN
TODAY'S COMP, BUT I'M REALLY HOPING THAT THE GIRLS-GIRLS
ALLIANCE GETS CHOSEN TODAY FOR THE VETO BECAUSE I KNOW THEY
WILL MAKE SURE THAT THOSE NOMINATIONS STAY THE SAME SO WE
CAN GET POOCH OUT OF THIS HOUSE. >> AMEERAH!
>> I'M REALLY HOPING I CAN CHOOSE MY FRIEND MICHAEL TO PLAY
IN THIS VETO COMPETITION. IT'S THE BEST CASE SCENARIO,
ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HE'S SUCH A STRONG COMPETITOR.
MAYBE I CAN CONVINCE HIM TO USE THE VETO ON ME IF I CAN'T WIN IT
MYSELF. >> MICHAEL!
[ APPLAUSE ] >> SO THIS VETO COMPETITION I'M
HOPING TO PICK UP A MOMENT OF THE OASIS ALLIANCE, PUT SOMEBODY
ELSE ON TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE NO WORRIES AND MAKE SURE TAYLOR
DEFINITELY GOES. >> TERRANCE.
>> I ALSO HAVE TO CHOOSE A HOST FOR THE VETO COMPETITION AND I
CHOOSE DANIEL! >> BACK AT IT AGAIN, DANIEL.
BACK AT IT AGAIN. >> BIG BROTHER WILL INFORM US
WHEN THE COMPETITION IS TO BEGIN.
GOOD LUCK! >> WE GOT CHOSEN.
>> I KNOW. >> I'M GOING FOR IT.
>> LOOK, I PRAYED. DO YOU HEAR ME?
I KNOW THE LORD IS LIKE, OKAY, GIRL, YOU'RE PUSHING IT.
>> GIRL, WHAT ARE THE ODDS? >> I KNOW.
>> I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE PICKS BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE
THEY KEEP THE NOMS THE SAY SO WE CAN GET POOCH OUT OF THE HOUSE.
>> WHAT'S THE MOVE? >> I PRAYED SO HARD.
I WAS LIKE, LORD, PLEASE PUT THE PEOPLE IN PLACE THAT I KNOW HAVE
MY BACK. IF GOD IS ON YOUR BACK, THEN WHO
ARE WE? >> I NEED TO GO SHAVE MY
UNDERARMS NOW. >> WOW, WHAT IS THAT?
>> HOW ARE YOU FEELING? >> I FEEL GOOD.
YOU WOULDN'T TAKE ME DOWN? >> I DON'T KNOW.
I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE YOU DOWN BUT HONESTLY -- BUT I WOULD WANT
TO TALK WITH HER. BUT WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
>> PREFERABLY I TAKE MYSELF DOWN, GET SOMETHING UNDER MY
BELT AND KEEP MOVING. >> THAT WOULD BE THE BEST CASE
SCENARIO. I WOULD LOVE TO PULL TAYLOR OFF
THE BLOCK, HOWEVER, A LOT OF THE HOUSE DOESN'T TRUST TAYLOR AND
THAT COULD PUT HEAT ON ME. I NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WILL
BENEFIT ME THE MOST. >> I DON'T WANT TO WIN BUT I
WANT TO KEEP HIM FROM WINNING. IF THERE'S ANY WAY I CAN HELP
YOU OUT -- >> KNOCK HIM OUT EARLY.
KNOCK HIM OUT EARLY. SO FAR I THINK THE Q MIGHT TAKE
ME DOWN. I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT WOULD TAKE
ME DOWN. >> I CAN MAKE IT LOOK CONVINCING
THAT I LOST. >> WHERE DO YOU WANT YOUR
BOTTLE, ON THE TABLE? OR --
>> GEEZ, LOUISE. YOU CAN JUST SIT IT RIGHT THERE.
THANK YOU. OH MY GOSH.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING? >> GOOD.
I'M EXCITED TO PLAY. >> MAN, FEELS LIKE AMAZING.
>> YOUR PICKS? IF WE KEEP THEM THE SAME, THAT
WOULD BE PERFECT. >> JASMINE IS TELLING ME SHE
WANTS THE NOMINATIONS TO STAY THE SAME THIS WEEK.
I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHAT I WOULD DO WITH IT BUT I NEED TO
WIN THE VETO FIRST AND MAKE SURE THAT POOCH DOESN'T.
>> SO I'VE GOT TO KEEP NOMS THE SAME.
THAT'S THE MAIN GOAL.
♪ >>> OH, YEAH!
>> OH, WOW! >> I LOVE THE OCEAN.
IT CAN BE HEALING AND CALM BUT ALSO CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE ME. >> I AM SO JEALOUS.
[ LAUGHTER ]. >> WELCOME TO MERMAID FEST, A
SHELLABRATION OF LIFE UNDER THE OCEAN AND YOUR
CHANCE TO SWIM INTO POWER BY WINNING THE GOLDEN POWER OF
VETO. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS.
FIRST YOU'LL ALL BE TRANSFORMED INTO MERMAIDS.
PLAYERS MUST USE ONLY THEIR HEAD OR CROWN TO MOVE THEIR PEARL
DOWN THEIR LANE AND OVER THE AND SAND DUNE.
YOU MAY TOUCH THE PEARL WITH YOUR FINS AS LONG AS IT'S NOT
INTENTIONAL. YOU MAY NOT TOUCH THE PEARL WITH
YOUR HANDS. ONCE YOU'VE REACHED THE OTHER
END OF YOUR LANE, YOU MAY USE YOUR HANDS TO CLEAR YOUR
SHOOTING ZONE OF WATER BEADS, BUT YOU MAY ONLY USE YOUR HEAD,
FACE OR CROWN TO TAKE A SHOT. AFTER EACH SHOT, YOU MUST RETURN
BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE, RETRIEVE ANOTHER PEARL AND REPEAT THE
PROCESS UNTIL YOU HAVE LANDED A PEARL IN EACH OF THE THREE CLAM
SHELLS. THE FIRST PLAYER TO LAND A CLAM
INTO EACH OF THE THREE CLAM SHELLS, WINS THE GOLDEN POWER OF
VETO. JASMINE, DUE TO YOUR INJURY, DO
YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE PLAYING IN TODAY'S COMPETITION?
>> I DO NOT COMFORTABLE. IN PLAYING IN TODAY'S
COMPETITION. >> PLEASE TAKE A SEAT ON THE
SIDELINE. >> PARTICIPATING IN THIS VETO
COMPETITION, I WANT ANYBODY TO WIN EXCEPT FOR TAYLOR OR POOCH.
WE CAN MAKE SURE POOCH DOESN'T COME DOWN FROM THE BLOCK, HE'LL
BE SUPER BLIND SIDED ON EVICTION NIGHT.
>> ARE YOU READY TO PLAY MERMAID?
>> IT'S NOW TIME FOR YOUR MERMIFICATION.
THAT'S BETTER. >> I'M A MERMAN RIGHT NOW.
EVERYBODY IN CHICAGO, GET IT OUT YOUR SYSTEM NOW, PLEASE, BEFORE
I GET BACK HOME. >> JASMINE TOLD ME I'M THE PAWN
IN HER PLAN THIS WEEK BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.
YOU'RE NEVER SAFE IF YOU'RE ON THE BLOCK.
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT I GET THIS VETO FOR MYSELF SO I CAN
SECURE MY OWN SAFETY. >> I VOLUNTEERED AS A PAWN TO
MAKE SURE WE COULD BACK DOOR TAYLOR.
NOW SHE'S ON THE BLOCK NEXT TO ME, I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE I WIN
THIS VETO, TAKE MYSELF DOWN AND MAKE SURE WE SEND TAYLOR
PACKING. >> GO, GUYS.
>> GO! >> KILLING IT, POOCH.
>> IN THIS COMPETITION, WE HAVE TO MOVE OUR PEARLS THROUGH OUR
OCEAN LANE USING NOTHING BUT OUR HEAD AND OUR CROWN.
THEN WE HAVE TO SHOOT OUR PEARL INTO THREE CLAM HOLES.
THE FIRST PLAYER TO LAND ALL THREE OF THEIR PEARLS INTO THE
CLAM HOLES WINS THE GOLDEN POWER OF VETO.
SINCE JASMINE IS UNABLE TO COMPETE IN THE COMPETITION, IT'S
UP TO ME TO REPRESENT FOR THE GIRLS GIRLS.
>> I'M NOT SURE WHAT I WOULD DO WITH THE VETO IF I WON, BUT WHAT
I DO KNOW IS I DO NOT WANT POOCH WINNING THIS VETO.
AS LONG AS IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAS A SHOT TO WIN, I'M GOING TO GUN
FOR IT. WHEN LINING UP MY SHOTS I'M
THINKING I'LL HAVE MORE CONTROL OVER THE PEARL IF I USE MY FACE
RATHER THAN THE TOP OF MY HEAD TO SHOOT IT.
FOR ONCE, HAVING A BIG NOSE MAY ACTUALLY COME IN HANDY.
>> MICHAEL HAS WON. >> TAYLOR, KEEP PUSHING.
>> MY IDEA IS TO JUST GET TO THE END OF THE SAND DUNES SO I DON'T
HAVE TO WASTE MY TIME OR ENERGY GOING UP OR DOWN TO GET MORE
PEARLS. >> YOU GOT IT.
COME ON, YOU GOT IT! >> LET'S GO, TERRANCE.
>> THIS COMPETITION IS ABSOLUTELY DIFFICULT.
>> KEEP GOING, TERRANCE. >> OH, MY GOODNESS.
I HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING OUT MY UPPER BODY ENOUGH.
BEING A MERMAID IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS, LET ME TAIL YOU.
>> I'M MOVING WELL THROUGH THIS COURSE, YOU KNOW, BUT WHEN IT
GETS TIME TO SHOOT THAT PEARL INTO THAT CLAM SHELL, I HAVEN'T
GOTTEN ONE IN YET. I'M GETTING FRUSTRATED.
>> THIS MIGHT BE THE FIRST TIME POOCH IS HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF
TROUBLE FINDING THE SWEET SPOT. >> I'M USING MY UPPER BODY, I'M
USING MY CORE, I'M TRYING MY HARDEST TO USE MY LEGS THAT ARE
ENCLOSED IN A HOT FIN. BUT THIS THING IS JUST MAKING ME
IMPOSSIBLE TO BE EFFECTIVE IN THIS COMPETITION.
>> TAYLOR HAS ONE. GOOD JOB, TAYLOR.
>> WHEN I TOOK MY FIRST SHOT, THE PEARL DIDN'T GO IN THE HOLE
BUT LUCKILY IT'S STILL HOVERING BY THE CLAM SHELL SO I'M GOING
TO TRY TO USE MY NEXT ONE TO KNOCK THAT ONE IN.
>> AMEERAH HAS ONE! MICHAEL HAS TWO!
>> GOOD JOB. YOU GOT IT, MICHAEL.
YOU GOT IT AMEERAH. >> I GOT THIS AND I REALIZE I
CAN WIN THIS COMPETITION. I'M LIVING MY MERMAID FANTASY
AND I CANNOT LET UP NOW. >> COME ON, POOCHIE!
>> POOCH IS STARTING TO FALL BEHIND A LITTLE BIT BUT I KNOW
POOCH CAN TURN THINGS AROUND. COME ON, MAN, YOU CAN DO THIS.
>> I SEE A STORM ABREWIN'. >> YOU GOT IT!
GO AMEERAH. >> COME ON, AMEERAH!
>> IF THIS COMP WANT HARD ENOUGH, NOW WE'RE CAUGHT IN A
FREAK THUNDERSTORM THAT MAKES EVERYTHING EPICALLY SLIPPERY.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I ALREADY CAN'T SWIM IN THIS
OCEAN AND LET ALONE GET CAUGHT OUT IN THE RAIN.
>> OH MY GOSH! >> SO TERRANCE IS OUT THERE
MOVING IN SLOW MOTION. I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE PASSENGERS
IN HIS BUS. I MEAN, IF HE'S GOING THIS SLOW,
NOBODY'S GETTING TO WORK ON TIME.
>> OH MY GOSH. IT'S SO HARD.
>> COME ON! >> POOCH HAS WON!
>> POOCH GOT HIS FIRST PEARL IN THE CLAM.
THAT'S NOT GOOD. I CANNOT LET POOCH WIN OR ELSE
I'LL BE SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES.
>> RIGHT NOW IT'S NECK AND NECK. I'M JUST HOPING POOCH DOESN'T
WIN BECAUSE IF HE COMES OFF THE BLOCK LATER IN THE GAME, IT
GOING TO BE HARD TO GET HIM BACK ON, WHICH ISN'T GOOD FOR MY ALL
GIRLS ALLIANCE. >> THESE WATER BEADS CAN ALTER
THE COURSE OF THE PEARL WHEN IT'S ROLLING.
I WANT TO HAVE AS FEW WATER BEADS AS POSSIBLE BETWEEN MY
PEARL AND THE HOLE SO THAT MY PEARL CAN ROLL STRAIGHT AHEAD.
>> MICHAEL! >> SO CLOSE!
>> SO CLOSE. >> FOCUS!
>> THERE YOU GO, TAYLOR. HEAD IT!
>> TAYLOR HAS TWO! >> TAYLOR LANDS HER SECOND PEARL
IN HER CLAM SHELL. I'M DEFINITELY FEELING THE
PRESSURE BUT PRESSURE BUILDS DIAMONDS.
LUCKILY FOR ME I HAVE A NICE CLUSTER OF PEARLS SITTING IN
FRONT OF THE CLAM SHELLS. I CAN POTENTIALLY HIT MULTIPLE
PEARLS INTO THE SHELLS AT THE SAME TIME AND THEN I'M RIGHT
BACK INTO THIS COMPETITION. >> I LOOK OVER AT POOCH AND EVEN
THOUGH HE ONLY HAS ONE PEARL, HE HAS A BUNCH OF PEARLS HOVERING
NEAR THE CLAMS. HE COULD EASILY COME BACK AND
WIN THIS COMPETITION. SO I MIGHT HAVE TO GO FOR IT.
>> MICHAEL, LET ME GO FOR IT. >> TAYLOR AND I ARE TIED WITH
TWO PEARLS APIECE. TAYLOR ASKED ME TO LET HER TAKE
HER SHOT FIRST AND I'M THINKING IF I WIN THE VETO, I DO WANT TO
SAVE TAYLOR, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF ME USING THE VETO ON HER WOULD
BE BEST FOR MY GAME. SO, TAYLOR, IF YOU CAN SINK THIS
SHOT AND SAVE YOURSELF, GO RIGHT AHEAD.
>> LET ME GO FOR IT.
>>> LET ME GO FOR IT.
>> GO, GO, GO. >> IT SEEMS LIKE MICHAEL IS
GOING TO LET ME GO FOR THE SHOT. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS.
>> OH! >> TAYLOR JUST MISSES HER THIRD
PEARL AND WHILE I WANT HER TO WIN THIS VETO, I CAN'T RISK
POOCH COMING FROM BEHIND SO I NEED TO LINE UP MY SHOT, SINK IT
AND WIN MY SECOND VETO OF THE SEASON.
>> CONGRATULATIONS, MICHAEL! YOU HAVE WON THE GOLDEN POWER OF
VETO! >> WHOO!
>> OH MY GOD, DUDE. >> OH MY GODS A, I JUST WON MY
SECOND VETO OF THE SUMMER AND I AM FREAKING OUT.
I WASN'T SURE THAT I WANTED TO WIN THIS BUT NOW THAT I HAVE IT,
I'M STARTING TO THINK THAT MAYBE GOLD IS MY COLOR.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED.
I WAS SO CLOSE TO SAVING MYSELF AND IT WOULD HAVE FELT SO GOOD.
BUT THERE IS A SILVER LINING IN MICHAEL WINNING BECAUSE IF
THERE'S ANYONE OUT OF THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE, HE'S THE ONE TO MOST
LIKELY USE IT ON ME. >> I WANTED THIS ONE BAD.
I'M NOT 100% POSITIVE IF HE'LL USE A VETO.
AT LEAST TAYLOR DIDN'T WIN SO THE PLAN IS STILL IN PLACE SO WE
SHOULD BE SENDING HER OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL.
>> I'M SO EXCITED AND NOW I JUST NEED TO WORK WITH YOU MICHAEL TO
MAKE SURE WE KEEP THE NOMS THE SAME AND SEND POOCH HOME.
I WANT HIM THE HELL OUT OF THIS HOUSE COME HELL OR HIGH WATER.
>> MAN, I WAS GOING TOO FAST. I HAD NO CONTROL.
>> THAT WAS TOUGH. >> I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU GO.
>> I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO USE IT.
>> I GOT TO TALK TO THEM AND THEN WHOEVER HE USES IT ON,
THERE ARE WEAKER PLAYERS THAT COULD GO UP.
>> I DON'T WANT TAYLOR TO THINK I FEEL TO SAFE.
I'M DEFINITELY GIVING A SOBBY LOOK, FROWNY PACES.
>> THE HOUSE WANTS ME GONE. >> YOU'D BE SURPRISED.
>> I'D BE SHOCKED. >> I'D BE SHOCKED, TOO, BUT I'VE
SEEN WEIRD THINGS HAPPEN. >> WITH MICHAEL WINNING THE
VETO, I'M NOT POSITIVE HE'LL USE THE VETO ON ME BUT I KNOW HE
WON'T USE IT ON POOCH. I DON'T WANT POOCH KNOWING I
FEEL COMFORTABLE. IF HE DOES, HE'LL PLAY A HARDER
GAME TO STAY IN THE HOUSE THAN ME AND I CAN'T HAVE THAT.
>> WEIRDER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED. >> RATHER NOT SIT NEXT TO YOU.
>> ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY.
>> I'M NOT GOING NOWHERE. I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
>> I THINK PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO THINK MAYBE THIS IS A CHANCE
WE GET POOCH OUT AND THAT TAYLOR NEXT WEEK.
>> ALL I KNOW IS IF WE DON'T GET POOCH OUT NOW, ONE OF US IS ON
THE BLOCK NEXT WEEK IF HE'S HOH. >> NO ONE HAS SAID THAT TO ME
DIRECTLY, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE.
>> POOCH OFFERED HIMSELF TO GO UP AS A PAWN.
HE SHOULD BE GOOD ON THE BLOCK NEXT TO TAYLOR BUT YOU NEVER
KNOW. YOU HAVE TO EXPECT THE
UNEXPECTED IN THIS GAME. AND IF HE GETS COMFORTABLE AND
CONFIDENT AND COCKY IN THE HOUSE WHILE HE'S ON THE BLOCK, THAT'S
NEVER A GOOD LOOK. >> NOBODY WOULD EVER TELL THE
BOYS THAT IT WAS THE GIRLS WHO DID IT AND THE GIRLS ARE SMART.
>> WE'RE GOING TO GO UP TOGETHER AND USUALLY THE GUYS TRY TO
STEAM ROLL, LIKE I HAVE THESE GIRLS WRAPPED AROUND MY FINGER
AND I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT AND IT'S NOT HAPPENING THIS YEAR.
>> THAT WOULD BE THE DUMBEST MOVE IN "BIG BROTHER" HISTORY.
>> IF THEY PULLED IT, IT WOULD BE THE SMARTEST.
>> USUALLY GUYS ARE NOT LIKE MY JAM AT ALL.
I WANT THEM OUT. THEY ALWAYS TRY TO TAKE OVER THE
SEASON. I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.
>> I CAN'T OVERDO IT. >> I LOVE JOSEPH BUT GAME-WISE
HE'S A LITTLE CLUELESS SOMETIMES.
I DON'T NEED MICHAEL TO USE THE VETO ON ME BECAUSE I HAVE THE
OASIS BEHIND ME. BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, I HAPPEN TO
BE SITTING NEXT TO PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE IN THE HOUSE, WHICH
IS TAYLOR. SO I FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT MY
ODDS RIGHT NOW. >> DON'T GET COMFORTABLE.
>> I PUT MYSELF IN HIS POSITION. I WOULD BE SO MANY EMBARRASSED.
I WOULD NEVER BE IN THAT POSITION BECAUSE I WOULD NOT
VOLUNTEER TO GO ON. >> I LOVE HIM BUT HE'S AN IDIOT.
HE'S IDIOT BRO.
>>> APPLYING FOR "BIG BROTHER," I WAS LIKE MY MOM'S GOING TO BE
HANGING OUT WITH ALL OF MY FRIENDS.
THERE'S GOING TO BE LIKE MEMES MADE FROM HER.
>> THAT'S SO COOL. >> SHE IS SO HAPPY I'M HERE.
WE'VE BEEN WATCHING "BIG BROTHER" TOGETHER SINCE "BIG
BROTHER" ONE. MY MOM IS WHY I'M PLAYING THIS
GAME. SHE HAS TAUGHT ME HOW TO BE
INDEPENDENT, RESILIENT. I WANT TO MAKE HER PROUD.
WHEN SHE WAS DIAGNOSED, SHE HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES.
LIKE GOING TO THE BATHROOM HAD BEEN BOTHERING HER FOR A WHILE.
WE WERE JUST LIKE GO TO THE DOCTOR, WHAT ARE YOU DOING,
WHATEVER. IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE SHE
WAS GOING THROUGH PAIN EVERY MORNING.
FINALLY SHE WENT TO THE DOCTOR, THEY DID THE TEST, THEY FOUND A
TUMOR. I DON'T THINK ANYONE CAN PREPARE
TO HEAR THOSE WORDS EVER, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CANCER
IT IS. >> HEARING NICOLE'S STORY REALLY
TOUCHES ME BECAUSE MY MOM IS LITERALLY MY BEST FRIEND IN THE
ENTIRE WORLD. NICOLE IS SUCH A STRONG WOMAN
AND MY LOVE FOR HER GROWS EVERY TIME WE TALK.
>> LIKE THE DAY THAT I WAS LEAVING, I TOLD HER, YOU KNOW,
I'M DOING THIS FOR YOU, LIKE. AND SHE'S SO SELFLESS AND SHE
WAS LIKE I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE DOING THIS FOR ME
BUT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER DO THIS FOR YOU, DO THIS FOR YOU.
>> SHE SOUNDS LIKE A FIGHTER. >> ROSIE'S UNSTOPPABLE.
>> I'VE NEVER SEEN A GUY PUT THEMSELVES UP LIKE THAT BEFORE.
>> HE'S NOT MAKING ANY SENSE. >> HE NEEDS TO GO.
>> IF IT IS THIS WEEK, I'D PROBABLY KEEP HER, TOO.
>> I WOULDN'T CARE IF EITHER ONE OF THEM WENT HOME.
>> WE'RE TRIERIYING TO GET ALL DUDES.
THEY'RE GOING TO RIDE THIS GAME. >> OF COURSE IT WOULD BE BEST
FOR MY GAME TO SEND TAYLOR HOME, SIMPLY BECAUSE I HAVE HER BLOOD
ON MY HANDS. I CAME INTO THE HOUSE WANTING TO
WORK WITH GIRLS OVER THE GUYS AND THE GIRLS WANT POOCH OUT SO
I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT. >> I DON'T WANT TO COMPLICATE
THINGS. WOULD YOU RATHER DO JOSEPH FIRST
THAN POOCH? >> OH, GOD.
>> WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE VETO.
>> I WOULD LOVE TO USE THIS VETO ON TAYLOR THIS WEEK.
I THINK SHE CAN BE A HUGE ASSET FOR MY GAME MOVING FORWARD.
JOSEPH AND POOCH ARE VERY CLOSE IN THIS GAME.
SO PUTTING THEM UP AGAINST EACH OTHER WOULD ENSURE THAT ONE OF
THEM GOES HOME. >> I THINK JOSEPH IS A BIGGER
THREAT IN THE GAME. SOMETHING WORTH EXPLORING.
>> WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET OUT ANY PLAYER IN THIS GAME AND
WE'RE GOING WITH POOCH. >> I THINK I LEAN TOWARDS JOSEPH
AND I LOVE JOSEPH. >> JOSEPH TO VOTE OUT?
>> YEAH. >> POOCH IS KIND OF A THREAT BUT
JOSEPH IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A THREAT IN THE FUTURE AND I'D
RATHER GET HIM OUT RIGHT NOW. >> HE'S SO SWEET BUT HE'S GOING
TO BE -- >> HIS STRATEGY WILL BE BASED
OFF THE GUYS. >> YOU CAN TELL HE'S A BOYS'
BOY. >> I'M LIKE HE'S GOING TO FLOAT
HIS ROCK HARD ABS -- >> ROCK HARD ABS.
THAT, TOO. >> WE USE THE VETO AND PULL
JOSEPH DOWN AND PUT TAYLOR UP AND ONE OF THEM WILL HAVE TO GO.
>> NO MATTER WHAT, ONE WILL ABSOLUTELY GO HOME.
>> IT'S INSANE. >> WELL, MICHAEL, WE MIGHT HAVE
SOME DISCUSSIONS. >> THIS IS YOUR HOH, LIKE DON'T
DO ANYTHING YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH, BUT WE HAVE
THE VETO AND WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT.
>> BUT THAT IS OUR VETO. MY HOH, I GOT TWO --
>> WELL, IT'S THAT TIME. >> REPLAYING TAYLOR WITH JOSEPH
MIGHT BE A GREAT IDEA. WE ALL KNOW HE'S A PHYSICAL
THREAT. PLUS HE'S SUPER CLOSE WITH
POOCH. I'M NOT AFRAID OF THESE MEAT
HEADS. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF IT
TIME TO THROW THOSE MEAT HEADS ON THE BARBECUE GRILL.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. OH MY GOD, THIS IS SO HARD.
>>> HEY, EVERYONE. IT'S TIME FOR THE VETO MEETING.
THIS IS THE VETO MEETING. POOCH AND TAYLOR HAVE BEEN
NOMINATED FOR EVICTION, BUT I HAVE THE POWER TO VETO ONE OF
THE NOMINATIONS. I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO USE THE
POWER OF VETO THIS WEEK. POOCH, TAYLOR, I HAVE NOTHING
BUT LOVE AND RESPECT FOR BOTH OF YOU AS PEOPLE AND PLAYERS IN
THIS GAME. THIS HAS NOT BEEN AN EASY
DECISION. HOWEVER, I ULTIMATELY DO WANT TO
RESPECT JASMINE'S WISHES AS HOH THIS WEEK.
THIS VETO MEETING IS ADJOURNED. >>> USING THE VETO ON TAYLOR AND
GETTING JOSEPH UP ON THE BLOCK NEXT TO POOCH WOULD HAVE
GUARANTEED THAT ONE OF THEM GOES HOME AND BREAKS UP THEIR BUDDING
BROMANCE, BUT ULTIMATELY I FELT IT WAS BEST FOR MY GAME TO LEAVE
POOCH ON THE BLOCK NEXT TO TAYLOR SO THAT HE HAS NO IDEA
THIS BLINDSIDE IS COMING. AS LONG AS POOCH IS FEELING SAFE
AND COMFORTABLE COME EVICTION NIGHT, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET
ONE OF THE THREATS TO MY GAME OUT THE DOOR.
>> LISTEN, I WOULD HAVE LOVED FOR MICHAEL TO GO AHEAD AND USE
THAT VETO ON ME, BUT I GET IT, IT'S NOT GOOD FOR HIS GAME.
POOCH WILL BE OUT THE DOOR AND THE GIRLS STILL IN THE GAME.
>> I'M FEELING PRETTY GOOD. I'M STILL ON THE BLOCK NEXT TO
PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE, TAYLOR. I'M PLAYING A GREAT GAME, I'M
READY FOR THIS HOUSE AND READY FOR "BIG BROTHER."
I THINK YOUR BOY POOCH IS SAYING AND YOU'LL HAVE A LITTLE BIT
MORE POOCH. >> MICHAEL DIDN'T END UP USING
THE VETO AND THE NOMINATIONS ARE STAYING THE SAME.
SO THE BACKUP PLAN TO GET JOSEPH OUT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
BUT NO WORRIES, POOCH IS STILL HEADED HOME THIS WEEK.
GET READY, TOO MUCH. YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET SERVED UP A
BIG OLD PLAY OF BLINDSIDE BUTTER BEANS.
>> Announcer: TUNE IN SUNDAY FOR A SPECIAL TWO-HOW LONG "BIG
BROTHER" EVENT. EITHER TAYLOR OR POOCH WILL BE
EVICTED, A NEW HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD WILL BE CROWNED, TWO MORE
NOMINEES HIT THE BLOCK AND THE FESTY BESTIE TWIST WILL BE
UNLEASHED FORCING THE GUESTS TO PLAY THE GAME IN A WHOLE NEW
WAY. IT ALL HAPPENS SUNDAY AT 8, 7:00
CENTRAL ON "BIG BROTHER"!
