Spygirl | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 07:49 pm     This DETAILED summary is the hard work of WAPLAND!! LIVE EVICTION: ONE STEP BEYOND Big Brother Episode #8 * July 25, 2002 ---------------------------------------- Previously on Big Brother 3 ---------------------------------------- Marcellas became the second head of household and nominated Josh and Tonya for eviction. Josh lobbied for votes. Tonya felt sure she had the support she needed. Both Tonya and Josh knew the power of veto could change their status in the house. Danielle had won the power of veto but when you think you got Danielle figured out you DON'T. At the veto meeting she made surprising decision…. “I choose not to exercise my power of veto”, leaving Tonya and Josh high and dry. We are asked who will be the second evicted from the big brother house? Find out tonight live on BigBrother3. ---------------------------------------------- Tonight’s Show: Scheming House Guests ---------------------------------------------- Its day 20 inside the big brother house. Julie Chen recaps the events since the last eviction and tell us within the hour, one of them, Josh or Tonya, will be evicted from the Big Brother house and a new head of household will be crowned. The impending eviction has divided the house, sparking a flurry of new alliances, late- night whispering and strategizing. We are first shown diary room comments from Josh who admitted he was using humility, genuine honesty, a little bit of lying and guilt… Josh says, “Emotionally I've choked up some tears. The game is not over yet. It's hard when everyone in the house is telling me it's my only chance. … I like to make people feel guilt if it will help me.” We also hear Eric strategizing, “I don't feel there is a girls versus guys thing going on. There is a loyalty thing between Lisa and myself.”…and Big Brother quickly shows us Lisa saying, “Guys have no loyalty.” Eric concludes his view of things by adding, “So I asked Lisa what they talk about and I believe her when she says they rarely talk about the game. Jason also revealed that Roddy had approached him about ‘not even really an alliance, but a partnership. We are shown a clip of Jason agreeing to the partnership and then clearly saying, “I'm connected to Danielle in this house. We also see various clips of Josh’s paranoia about who might have been strategizing against him during the week. He believed that Tonya had started a smear campaign against him to Roddy. As Roddy started to get fed up with Josh’s antics and how he was playing the game, he suggested to Chiara that he was considering for the first time changing his vote and evicting Josh from the house. In the diary room Josh states firmly, “I trust Roddy. More than anyone in this house, more than most people I've met in my life I trust Roddy. --------------------------------------------------- Peanut Butter and Jelly Nightmares ---------------------------------------------------- Gerry tells us how they played a food competition and a group that included himself, Eric, Danielle, Tonya and Chiara lost. They had to eat peanut butter and jelly and everyone else got to eat everything else. Those who aren’t having food want….and those who have gloat. We are shown clips of a fight between Amy and Tonya… Tonya>>> First of all Amy opened a bottle of wine and poured herself a glass of wine. I think she drinks too much in here. “You better go to alcoholics anonymous.” As soon as she walked out the door I knew she was talking about me or about the situation. Tonya>>>Amy, you got something to say to me? Amy>>> I didn't say anything to you. I haven't talked behind your back. Tonya>>> Ask anybody I'm not one to screw with. Just remember. Marcellus>>> Oh, my god. What was that? Amy>>> I don't know. I can't believe she is not one to screw with. The fight continued with Marcellus coming to Amy’s defense and Josh tries to figure out how this can be used to his advantage. Julie says with all this action we should see how the hgs are really doing. After she welcomes them back and they all say hi, she asks them how the peanut butter and jelly eating is affecting the mood of the house. After a sarcastic response, Chiara admits that it has been rough watching others eat. Julie turns her attention to Amy, one of the winners. She admits that she has enjoyed being a winner and has tried to be considerate to the other team which is met with a great deal of laughter. Julie asks Danielle how she liked having the power of veto. She said that although it was nerve racking she enjoyed finally winning something. >> Julie: Well the stars of tonight's show are Josh and Tonya. You are both up for eviction tonight. Do either one of you have anything you want to say to the group. Tonya I'm going to start with you. >>Tonya: I wanted to say if I am the one to be evicted I have had a great time getting to know each and everyone of you. I don't want to leave but if I do I'll see you all in Vegas. >>Josh: I like to say to the group if you evict me I hope you all have fire insurance and --. No, I mean, you know, whatever. That's all I got to say. If you guys kick me out you suck. We are then told we will have an update on some of your favorite Big Brother 2 house guests, including grand prize winner Will. We'll find out what they're up to and what they think of this year's house guests. Of the 11 house guests left, eight get to vote to evict. The two nominees, Tonya and Josh, are not permitted to vote. Marcellas, as head of household, will vote only in case of a tie. All votes are cast in secret in the diary room. Eric and Amy are the first to enter. >>Eric: I vote to evict Tonya >>Amy: I vote to evict Tonya. ----------------------------- Meet the Family ----------------------------- Julie welcomes us back and says that we've gotten to know them inside the house, but josh's girlfriend, Merritt, and Tonya's boyfriend, David, say there's another side to the people they love. Merritt tells us that she and “Joshy” have been together for a little over a year now and that she would love to marry josh someday. Merritt says that Josh has integrity and he swore on his love of her that he wouldn’t vote out Lori and he didn’t. He is not the evil person that people are making him out to be. David tells us that he and Tonya have been dating for the last four months, and that he could I see it going to marriage but it would be down the road. He stressed that there are many misconceptions about Tonya because of the way she looks. She is not the stripper type but a good stay at home mother. Julie tells us that so far, Tonya has two votes for eviction; josh has none. Let's reopen the diary room door as Gerry and Chiara go in to cast their vote. >>Gerry: I vote to evict josh. >>Chiara: I vote to evict josh. ------------------------------- Looking to the Past ------------------------------- Julie opens after commercial by telling us it's a tense night here at the big brother house as the house guests wait to find out who'll be the second person evicted. No one understands eviction night jitters better than last year's house guests. They dropped in to visit Monica, Bunky, Sheryl, and will to see how they're doing one year later. Monica We see and hear that Monica is doing great. She is only working parttime so she can pursue he career in film, television and theater. We are shown clips of the 911 diary room discussions with Monica. After leaving the house, it was confirmed that her cousin Tamatha had perished at the World Trade Centers. “A cousin in our family is like sister so that was my sister so I miss her. I may not be able to touch her but I can feel here. This is the most important thing. We are doing so much better.” Bunky Bunky has been doing the Bunky Tour for Charity and basically raises money for charities and for the Happy-Go-Lucky Charity Foundation. He and Craig are still together after 13 years. He still works out and tells us that people are shocked that Kent is someone he either e-mails or talks to on the phone on a regular basis. Kent is a much nicer guy outside of the Bi Brother house. Sheryl Weeks after being evicted from the house she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She has been under going chemo, surgery, and now is ready to take on the world again. She tells us how you have to find the positive out of everything. The most important thing to remember is not to get lost in the forest. Look straight ahead, find the solutions, and start to chop away at the solution so that you reach your goal. At this point, she is cancer-free. Will Will has been hanging out in different cities. He has been traveling a lot. He is still a doctor and suggests that if we want good care go to him. Buttercup the turtle is doing well. He still likes Mike, and Shannon and keeps his relationship with her private….although and I quote,“ My relationship with Shannon is women, can't live with them, can't get them to dress up like Princess Lea and beat you with a warm squash.” Monica loves Eric from BB3, Bunky thinks he can relate to Tonya from this year and not Marcellus and Will believes the winner will be a male charming, with dark hair. ------------------------------- Checking in with HOH ------------------------------- Julie says that we should check in with this week’s HOH Marcellus. He says that he nominated the two people that he had problems with in the beginning. He wanted to keep things real and beautiful. When asked about his relationship with Amy, Marcellas said that she was kind, and witty and sweet. He feels they have a good friendship. Julie wondered if he had any regrets as HOH and he said no. He would not want to see Gerry win HOH this week because he has found out some things about how Gerry is playing the game. Julie says he may return to others. Julie tells us the eviction vote is tied now. Tonya and Josh each have 2 votes. Lisa and Jason, two of the most conflicted house guests reveal who they think should go. >>Lisa: I vote to evict Josh. >>Jason: I vote to evict Tonya. --------------------------- The Eviction --------------------------- We're minutes away from the second eviction. So far, the vote is 3-3. The only people we haven't heard from yet are Danielle and Roddy. Will Danielle be as unpredictable as she's been in the past? Will Roddy's disagreement with Josh influence his vote? It's time to find out who'll be evicted. >> Julie: By a close vote of 5-3, Tonya you are evicted from the big brother house. We are shown images of the houseguests hugging Tonya and saying goodbye. Josh appears extremely upset and proceeds to roam from room to room after Tonya has left for the studio. Julie asks Tonya what she thinks happened because obviously she and Josh were both surprised by the result. Tonya felt Josh obviously talked to a lot of people and he probably changed a lot of minds in the house last week. they talk about the disagreements with Amy and Marcellus and Tonya feels she was herself and behaved as she normally would. She made great friends with Chiara and Lisa. Chiara is the one she wants to win and knows Chiara still has a few tricks up her sleeve. She receives goodbye messages from Chiara, Lisa, Eric, Roddy and Jason which make her cry. Julie tells her this is not her last goodbye because we will be reunited September on finale night when the jury decides who will win Big Brother 3. ----------------------------------------- Head of Household Competition ----------------------------------------- The ultimate position of power in the big brother house is up for grabs tonight. While the head of household is responsible for nominating two people for eviction, they also get perks like laundry service and a private bedroom. Tonight, nine house guests will show how well they've paid attention so far as they compete for this week's head of household. Tonight's competition is called "one step beyond." Marcellas, as outgoing head of household, is not eligible to compete this week. The game is a series of true or false questions. Hgs raise a paddle if the answer is true. Each time they answer correctly, they'll take one step forward. In the end, the person who gets to the finish line first wins and will be crowned this week's head of household. Question one: Former house guest Lori is from Wisconsin. The answer is true. Question two: There is one vegetarian in the big brother house. The answer is false. Question three: Tonya has a daughter named Brooke. The answer is true. Question four: The very first head of house hold competition came down to Lisa and Lori. You choose Lisa to be head of household by an often vote of 7-3. . The answer is false. The official vote was 8-2. Question five: Marcellas's favorite movie is "show girls." The answer is false. Show girls is actually his least favorite movie. Question six: In the egg toss food competition all the guests combined caught more than 80 eggs. The answer is true. Question seven: Of the remaining house guests, three of you have children. The answer is false. Tie breaker question: Everyone to remove their blindfold. All not on the blue square join Marcellas on the side. Everyone on the blue square is still in the game. Danielle, Amy, Roddy Jason, Lisa and Gerry are still in the game. Eric, Chiara and Josh are not. Using a chalk board hgs will write a number answer. The person who comes closest to the actual total without going over wins. Question: What was the total weight in pounds of all the house guests prior to eating any of the giant brownie house in last week's food competition? Roddy is the new head of household with t guess of 1580 pounds and the correct answer was 1605. He gets the key from Marcellas. --------------------------- America Votes --------------------------- The house guests would like private time. Which house get would you like see host a private gourmet dinner with the date of their choice? We are reminded of Lisa and Eric’s relationship, Chiara and Roddy and Marcellus and Roddy’s?????? We are encouraged to cast our vote this week. ----------------------- The Step Beyond ----------------------- Julie reminds us that love is in the air in the big brother house. We already know about Chiara and Roddy. On Saturday, we will find out about another budding romance. Tune in at 8:00 eastern, 7:00 central for those details as well as which two house guests Roddy will nominate for eviction. Then at Wednesday at 9:00 eastern we'll find out if one of those two nominees will be saved by the power of veto. One week from tonight we will be back in the house as guests vote to evict one of Roddy's two nominees. We eavesdrop in on the house for now. We see houseguests discussing their voting on the true/false game…but two are missing…they’re in the lounge chair.. Chiara and Josh discussing their trust of each other………The biggest question facing the house this week- WHO DOES RODDY TRUST AS WE TAKE THE NEXT STEP BEYOND! |
