Big Brother 3 – Thursday, August 8, 2002



--------------------------------------------------------------------
Opening Segment – Day 34
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Show opens with Julie in the BB Studio: “Good evening. Welcome to Big Brother 3. It is Day 34 inside the Big Brother house behind me. Of the original 12 house guests, only nine remain. Last Thursday, Gerry, the California schoolteacher, won head of household. This made the "couples alliance" feel especially vulnerable after having ostracized Gerry for using the "power of veto" in the first week. The very next day their fears were realized when Gerry followed through with his "master plan" to split up the powerful group. Gerry nominated Eric and his girlfriend Lisa. Lisa's ally, Chiara, later won the Power of Veto, but chose not to use it, afraid a move to save Lisa might just jeopardize Roddy.

So tonight, Eric and Lisa face an inevitable breakup. In the next hour, one of them will be evicted and a new head of household will be crowned. Then a major twist in the game will be revealed that's certain to shake up the house. With their courtship in the house about to end, Eric and Lisa have decided not to campaign for votes against each other. But as they savor their last remaining moments together, around them promises are being made and broken at a rapid pace. It's been a desperate week of paybacks, favors, and surprising new strategies.

---------------------------------------------
Chiara – Trusted Girlfriend?
---------------------------------------------

The scene changes to Chiara at the Veto Meeting telling Lisa and Eric that she loves them both so much, but unfortunately, she’s not going to use the power of veto. Eric then tells the Diary Room that he thinks he will be staying even though he has not been actively campaigning. He says that if he had to make the choice between him leaving or Lisa, "well, I'm going to send Lisa home. And I don't mean that because I don't like Lisa. I mean that because I want to stay in the game.”

There is a review of Lisa and Chiara’s friendship while in the house: First, Lisa says, “I feel as though, even though Chiara didn't use the power of veto, I know that we'll be friends outside of here”. Next the viewers are treated to a video montage which skips between clips of Chiara telling Lisa how she looks forward to continuing their friendship outside of the house and clips of Chiara talking to others about Lisa. One highlight shows Chiara with a pained look on her face telling Roddy that “Lisa has a way of speaking. Reminds me of every girl I ever hated growing up who was always like "oh, oh. ." It just sounds so we're weird. I have so many girlfriends, but they're not like her…”.

It is also revealed that fellow houseguest Josh planted the seeds of mistrust by telling Chiara that Lisa hates her. This revelation inevitably lead to Chiara changing her vote which is a decision she decided to share with Danielle.

Chiara - I found out from a very, very very reliable source Lisa's going to come after me.
Danielle - You always question the source. Who gave it to you?
Chiara -“My source is Josh. Do I absolutely trust him? No.
Danielle -I just can't believe it.
Chiara-Vagina or penis, loyalty is loyalty and it's not about a guy-girl thing. It's about who you trust and who you don't trust.


--------------------
The Date
--------------------

Lisa and Eric were treated to an evening “out” by their fellow houseguests in order to celebrate their relationship prior to one of them leaving the house. All the houseguests got involved in planning the soiree. None more than Josh who was the Chef and Chiara who acted as Hostess, Waitress and even Innkeeper.

Lisa and I were sitting around, and she said," you know, I think we should have date." So we got ready around dinner time and everybody was cooking and the house was, you know, very busy. They were provided with Champagne and even a special gift from Lisa to Eric. Lisa “I gave him a picture of the two of us in our hammock, and on the picture was, you know, the word "hi," which is my favorite word now that he has said it to me. One of us is going to have to go but I don't consider that the end to this relationship”


-----------------------------------------------
The Voting Begins
-----------------------------------------------

Julie - It's been an emotional week for the house guests, especially Eric and Lisa. Let's talk to them. Hi, everybody. How are you doing?
Everybody - Hey.
Julie - Nice legs, Marcellas. You're giving Lisa a run for her money. Hi, Lisa. You and Eric had a very special date the other night.
Lisa - We did.
Julie - How much did this time together mean to you?
Lisa - It was very special because, I mean, thank you to all the houseguests who allowed us to do that and gave us that special time. And it was good because I mean no mat her leaves or who stays, one of us, we have to depart today, so it was nice to have that time.
Julie - Josh?
Josh - Yeah?
Julie - You put forth a considerable effort to make this date happen. You cooked for them. Why did you do this?
Josh - beats the hell out of me, to be honest with you. I just... I really thought they deserved it. I mean it was inevitable that one of them was going to have to go, and they are probably America's cutest couple. And I just... I really thought that they deserved it.
Julie - Should we take from this that you're a romantic at heart?
Josh - I really am. It's undeniable. You know, based on my clothing.
Julie - I'll have to talk to Merritt. Eric...
Eric - How are you doing, Julie?
Julie - How are you?
Eric - Good
Julie - How was Josh's cooking?
Eric - Actually, you know, considering what he had to work with that that kitchen, it was fantastic.
Julie - Are you insulting our kitchen, the kitchen or...
Eric - I'm talking about the ingredients. It was very nice.
Julie - Danielle?
Danielle - Hello, Julie.
Julie - Giggly Chiara next to you tonight. For you and the giggly one next to you, it was the second time you've been restricted to peanut butter and jelly for the week. Was it harder this time? Was it easier this time? Was it just as awful for you? What was it like?
Danielle - It was easier. It was wrong. It's peanut butter!
Julie - And you did your part with the olives, let me just add.
Danielle - I did. I did. And if... you know, it's like a fight, as long as I get one lick in, you know, simple as that.
Julie - Okay. Hi, Jason.
Jason - Hi, Julie.
Julie - As the winner of America's choice this week, you received a letter from home from your mom, so sweet. How much did that letter mean to you at this point in the game?
Jason - It actually meant an awful lot, just to hear from somebody from the outside world and to get some encouragement, just to go on and stick in it. So my family just gave me the strength to stay here till the end and win it all.
Julie - Easy now. Easy now. Eric and Lisa, I want to go back to the two of you because you two are the stars of tonight's show, and I want to ask each of you if you have any final thoughts that you want to express to the group or to each other, for that matter. Eric, why don't you go first.
Eric - Sure. Well, to the other houseguests, if this is my last day here, I just want to say to everyone that I had a great time get to go know each and every one of you. I do look forward to I'm sure running into you at some point in time. Maybe on you're trip to Vegas. I'm sure that'll happen. It's a tough game, and you know, you're forced to make decisions that you don't want to make sometimes, and you know, I hold no ill feelings towards anyone this in this house.
Julie - I'm sorry? Just final thoughts.
Eric - Oh, final thoughts. And I'll miss Lisa, regardless of what happens. But one of us will still be here and we'll get to see each other again real soon.
Julie - And Lisa, your final thoughts?
Lisa - Before I moved into that house, my life hit kind of a gray spot. And I'm so glad that I walked through those doors and found a beautiful family, and this has been the brightest, most beautiful chapter of my life. And thank you guys for allowing me to laugh and opening up my smile. And thank you for opening up my heart because I wasn't expecting you.
Julie - Nice job. Thank you, everybody. I'll be back a little bit litter on. Still ahead, true love or a casual fling? We'll talk to Lisa's closest friends and Eric's fire station comrades to find out what they think of the in-house romance. But first, tonight is eviction night. Of the nine house guests remaining, six cast their votes to evict. The two nominees, Lisa and Eric, are not permitted to vote. Gerry, as head of household, votes only in the case of a tie. All votes are cast in secret in the diary room. Josh, Danielle, and Roddy go first.

Josh - Eric clearly sold me tout to try to keep Lisa in this house. He tried to degrade our loyalty to each other. It was a telling moment in my relationship with Eric. I vote to evict Eric.

Danielle - If Lisa stays in the house, it's good for me because I believe Lisa has a value system that is much more like mine. If Eric stayed in the house, the only good reason is that the fact that Eric will go after Josh or Gerry. And that gives me time.

Roddy - I can't stand the fact that one of my friends are leaving. I mean I really love Lisa. She's a magnificent person. I've really grown to admire her. And she's smart, she's funny, she knows how to really turn a frown upside-down type of thing. She's a really special person. I real very gotten very close to Eric and for me to keep Eric in the house, probably above anybody at this point, is beneficial to me. I vote to evict Lisa.


-------------------------------------------------
Commercial
--------------------------------------------------

Julie - Welcome back to "Big Brother 3." She is a Los Angeles bartender. He's a Connecticut firefighter. Eric and Lisa came from opposite ends of the country with one goal in mind: To win a half million dollars. Over the past few weeks, they've developed a special bond, never realizing that it would ultimately work against them. And tonight, the couple find themselves facing eviction together. While Eric's colleagues in the firehouse are not surprised their good-looking buddy found romance so quickly, Lisa's friends are shocked that she's fallen so fast for Eric.

Lisa’s three friends had this to say about her “I met Lisa here at Natick factory. Lisa is this breath of fresh air. She's just very, like, vibrant. The first time I met her, she had a huge smile on her face. She's just always happy. But the best thing about her, she's beautiful on the inside. She is a package, man. She's she is silly, and she can be tough. A lot of people look and, like, and they think that that's it, you know, she's some dumb beautiful woman. And she's far from that. She's very intelligent. I noticed in the very beginning that Lisa was very nervous because she kept running her fingers through her hair. 30 seconds go by and she'd do it again. She'd do it again. She was sleeping with Eric ….. that's what it looked like to me. When Lisa hooked up with Eric it was a jaw-dropping moment for me. Eric is Lisa's type.. He has to make her laugh. He's a fireman and that is an honorable job.”

Eric’s fire hall co-workers said this “When Eric joined the shift, he brought in a new attitude. A lot of energy. Eric is a great guy to work with at the fire house. He's young, he's energetic, and he wants to learn the job, which is a plus for all of us. This is Eric's tower ladder, and he'll be assigned back to that once he gets back from "Big Brother." And what Eric's job is to drive it to the scene. When he gets to the scene, he gets out, he puts the ladder up and does any of the lift operations. I think Eric would have to love the job in order to do the job in today's society.. Just as having a "Big Brother" family right now, out here, this is his family. It's a brotherhood. Did we mention Eric's buying lunch and dinner for a month when he gets back? We watch the show all the time with our Big Brother Eric on it. I think he's in real trouble. Who? Eric. No. Eric is a very lively personality, particularly at night, it makes for some interesting conversations. If he had any weaknesses, it would have been women. Nothing against Lisa or anybody else, but it might be his downfall. What's going on there?”

Parting words from Lisa’s friends “I think Lisa will do better if Eric is voted out of the house. She would step up and she would have a chance to stay in the house.

Parting words from Eric’s friends “You watch out for Eric. He's got a few other cards up his sleeve. Don't hurt her, Eric, because I'll come get you”

-------------------------------------
Talking with Gerry the HOH
-------------------------------------

Julie - Let's talk to the person responsible for putting the couple up. Gerry is sitting in his private room on his last night as head of household. Hi, Gerry.

Gerry - Hi Julie, how are you?

Julie - I'm good. Now, just a reminder. the other houseguests cannot hear our conversation, so you can speak candidly. You were virtually ignored since the first week when you went against the group and used the power of veto. So how did it feel to win head of household last Thursday?

Gerry - Well, winning head of household was a bit of a retribution. It seems interesting to me that I have been placed in a position in the game to make a major impact on the way things were going. I mean I think I got it at a fairly crucial time of the game where I could play something strategically. Whether it plays to my. advantage, I don't know yet, but we'll see how it pans out.

Julie - Well, since nominating Lisa and Eric, you've had private conversations with each of they. Have those conversations made you reevaluate your decision?

Gerry - It only made me reevaluate it in who I would personally vote for it f it comes down to a tie tonight. And I don't. I do regret it only in... I do regret putting them up for nomination only in the sense I'm very, very fond of them, but this game requires to you make decisions that are strategic, not based on feelings.

Julie - Okay. Well, you can rejoin the others. And I'll be back with all of you momentarily.

Gerry - Okay, thank you.

Julie - Thanks, Gerry. We're about to mix it up here at the "Big Brother" house. Coming up, we'll let you in on a surprise new twist that'll shock the houseguests. But first, will Lisa become the fourth woman in a row to leave the Big Brother house? The eviction is next. Of the six votes cast this week, it takes four to evict. So far, there are two votes to evict Lisa, one to evict Eric. Marcellas, Jason, and Chiara are next to enter the diary room.

Marcellas - Eric is aesthetically pleasing. He's very "live and let live," which I admire a lot. Lisa could probably be one of my friends outside of the house. She initially was one of my favorite people in the house, and then she nominated me for eviction. I forgive the members of the original six, of which Lisa was one, but I can never forget. I vote to evict Eric.

Jason - Just watching Eric this week try and turn the table and put Josh into the mix of things gave me a little insight that Eric might do something desperate. Eric could, you know, turn on one of his own, and that's something that's a little scary to have in the house. I vote to evict Eric.

Chiara - With Eric and Lisa, it's like I have Lisa as a girl, and I'm a girl. She's my age. And then with Eric, it's that he's a guy and not a girl, but we're both from the same state, so we have that bond. Voting either Lisa or Eric out just doesn't, it just doesn't feel right. I vote to evict Lisa.

----------------------------
The Eviction
----------------------------

Julie - Welcome back. Big Brother's fourth eviction is about to take place. We've heard from the six voting house guests, and tonight we have a tie. Three votes to evict Lisa, three to evict Eric. Gerry, as head of household, will cast the deciding vote live. Let's find out who will be the next to leave the Big Brother house. Houseguests, it's time to reveal the results of the vote. For the first time on "Big Brother 3," we have a tie. The vote to evict either Eric or Lisa is 3-3. Gerry, as head of household, you must now cast the deciding vote. What's it going to be?

Gerry - Well, I thought about this, and if that would come. And I love both of you, you know this is all about a chess move and what I think is my strategic interests. And therefore, I vote to evict Eric.

Julie - Eric, the decision is final. You have been evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

Eric says his good-byes and makes his way to the Studio.


-------------------------------------------
Eric’s Interview
-------------------------------------------

Julie - Hey, Eric, nice to meet you in person. Put your things down.
Eric - How are you doing, Julie?
Julie - I'm doing great. Why don't you put that right there, have a seat over here, make yourself comfortable.
Eric - Okay.
Julie - How shocked are you to be sitting here with me, the first man evicted from "Big Brother 3"?
Eric - I can't say that I'm happy to be the first man evicted.
Julie - Definitely not, but how shocked are you? You looked completely shell shocked.
Eric - Did I really?
Julie - Yeah.
Eric - Well, yeah, initially when I think I was put up for eviction, I think I was put up as a guarantee to get Lisa out of the house so I couldn't save her. And I got that much from Gerry and I got that much from other people in the house. And when the veto wasn't used, again, you know, so much had happened in the last week, that anything, anything could have happened. I said my peace, and I'm sure I said some things that probably scared Gerry, and I can pretty much guarantee that's why that I'm sitting here right now.
Julie - Once again, it was the decoy, is that what you're saying? Were you the decoy to get Lisa and now you're out?
Eric - Yeah, yeah, I think I was at first.
Julie - Do you think your relationship, your romantic relationship with her hurt in you this game?
Eric - Well, of course for strategical purposes, would I say that it didn't help me as much as it should have. But you know, again, as I've said before, it's nothing that I would take back, and you know, Lisa's still in the game and that's great.
Julie - Yeah, but would you have done anything else differently? You wouldn't have taken back the romantic relationship? But anything else you wish you had played out differently?
Eric - I don't think so, not when it came down to Lisa. It corps id people that I don't really think had anything to worry about.
Julie - Did anyone in particular let you down or disappoint you in the house?
Eric - Gerry. Of all people, I mean for obvious reasons. You know, I just don't think that he was really being himself and I think he's really tried to identify with so many different people, that he's really compromised his own personality just to be where he is.
Julie - Roddy is your buddy.
Eric - Yeah.
Julie - Lisa is your love interest. Who are you rooting for, if anyone at this point?
Eric - Oh, god. Well, I'll tell you, what regardless of Roddy or Lisa, I'm sure I'm going to get some of that fun that they use the money for. I got to be rooting for Lisa right now.
Julie - And you and Lisa, after this is all over, is she the one?
Eric - Right now, absolutely.
Julie - Key words," right now."
Eric - You know what? Live television that was an awful thing to say.
Julie - Redo it.
Eric - Yeah. No, Lisa's the one, and I can't wait to see her outside. And really start to pursue things as normal people do, if you know what I mean.
Julie - That's nice to hear. That's nice to hear. Well, even though you sit here tonight and you were evicted, did you make friends in the house.
Eric - Yeah.
Julie - And they each taped a special message for you in the event you were sitting here with me tonight. So let's listen to what they have to say.


Now we see clips of the nice parting words from his fellow houseguests Jason, Roddy, Chiara, Marcellas, Danielle and of course Lisa

Julie - Final thoughts?
Eric - It's tough to watch that stuff, it really is. I mean until you're...
Julie - Look how strong you are. I didn't even see a tear in your eye.
Eric - There's a little one up there. No. Its really tough to look in on these people, you know what I mean, just to... just to the be the fish in the bowl. It's going to be really different to not be in the house. It's going to take some getting used to, but like I said, I had a good life before and I'll continue to have one.
Julie - Eric, normally during this part of the show, we say good-bye to the evicted houseguest, but I'm going to ask you to come back at the end of the show and that's when we're going to reveal a surprise to you and the people at people. So stay right there. But first we'll crown a new head of household. The live competition is next.


------------------------------------------------------------
Head of Household Competition
------------------------------------------------------------

Julie - Welcome back to Big Brother. The power in the house is about to take a critical turn as house guests scramble for survival and control. Seven people will compete for head of household and the power to nominate two housemates for eviction. Over the past 24 hours, they've all had a chance to practice their bowling techniques in preparation for tonight's competition. It's a simple game of closest to the end without going over.

Let's get the real game started. House guests, the power is up for grabs. Tonight's competition is called "gutter ball." Gerry, as outgoing head of household, you are not eligible to compete this week. Now, as you can see before you, there are two bowling lanes set up side by side on the basketball court. Now, we've added bumpers to make it trickier today. Each houseguest will be given a ball to roll down the lane. The goal is to try and get the ball as close as possible to the gutter at the end of the lane without having it fall in. The winner will be crowned this week's head of household. Now, in the event of a tie, a tie will be broken with an additional roll of the ball. Is that clear? Yes.

Roddy was selected to go first and his ball rolled into the gutter.
Jason’s ball remains in play.
Marcellas’ ball rolls out of play. Jason still in the game.
Josh rolls his ball farther than Jason and is in the lead.
Chiara steps up and rolls her ball right to the end of the lane, putting her in first place.
Danielle rolls her ball through.
Lisa rolls her ball through.

Chiara is the new Head of Household.

-----------------------------------
The Twist!
-----------------------------------

Julie - Welcome back. Eric, thanks for joining us once again. Earlier in the evening, you were evicted from the Big Brother house. As you know, traditionally, evicted house guests go home to be reunited with their friends and family. But that's not what happened to the first three evictees, Lori, Tonya, and Amy; and that's not what's going to happen to you. What if we told you that you've got a second shot at the grand prize?
Eric - I'd be very excited and I'd say tell me more.
Julie - Okay. Well, since you ask, one week from tonight, one of the four of you will be moving back into the house and back into the game.
Eric - Really?
Julie - Sound good?
Eric - Excellent. All right.
Julie - Well, listen up because this is also a surprise to our audience at home and here's what's been happening. The first three evictees have not seen the show and have no idea what's been going on since they left. Immediately after leaving the house, Lori, Tonya and Amy were each whisked away and flown to three separate locations outside the country where they have been living it up ever since.

Next up are clips of the three ladies vacations. Lori was sent to Cancun and is shown touring Mayan ruins. Tonya was sent to a Caribbean Island and is featured during a bikini shopping spree. Amy was sent to Xtapa, Mexico and is shown very tipsy while late night partying.


Julie - Well, Eric, what do you think?
Eric - Yeah, let's go somewhere. I'm there. Let's go. Let's get back in the game, but you can put me up somewhere first, if you want.
Julie - Well, we can't reveal where because half the female population will get on a plane. Oh, you got a bug on you... and follow you there. Are you more excited about getting back in the game to get a crack at the half million dollar or to see Lisa?
Eric - Well, I'll tell what you, I'm going to see Lisa regardless off the show, so of course I'd love to see her, but I want the money who doesn't? So let's go.
Julie - All right, get your game on.
Eric - All right.
Julie - Thank you. And I will see you next week, Eric. When we come back, more details about the exciting week ahead.

----------------------------------
Commercial
----------------------------------
Julie - How will the houseguests react to the news of a former housemate returning to the game? And who will Chiara nominate for eviction? Find out Saturday night at 8:00 eastern, 7:00 central. Then on Wednesday at 9:00 eastern, 8:00 central, as the house guests anticipate which evictee will return, we'll find out if one of Chiara's two nominees will be saved by the "power of veto." Then one week from tonight, as one of the nominees walks out, either Lori, Tonya, Amy, or Eric will walk back in. For now, we leave you as we eavesdrop on the house. I'm Julie Chen. Good night.
