LAST CALL FOR FAVORS
Host Julie Chen welcomes the Jury of Seven members to the live audience. Jen, Rachel, James, Beau, Howie, April and Janelle are applauded as they enter the stage. Who will they vote to win the half-million dollars? Julie asks, as the audience goes wild over the arrival of some of their favorite HouseGuests.
Julie asks the Jury members to cast their votes. Beau is first to vote after a gushing speech to Ivette and Maggie. April follows next with another fawning speech, reiterating her love for them both before casting her vote. James is next. His speech is typically James: short, to the point and surprisingly sweet. Then Rachel takes her time to say she is casting her vote for "the most complete player" in the game. Janelle congratulates Maggie and Ivette before admitting she was torn between the two players. Having made her choice, she places her vote. Jennifer follows, casting her vote quickly before Howie, "the star of the show," as Julie puts it, casts his vote last. Wishing he was voting for Kaysar or Janey, Howie places his key in the slot.
LEST WE FORGET, THEY WON'T LET US
We reconnect with the non-sequestered HouseGuests as Julie looks for some non-Jury opinions, welcoming back Ashlea, Michael, Eric, Sarah and Kaysar. The HouseGuests take their seats opposite the Jury, the groups eyeing each other from across the stage. Julie asks Sarah if there is anything she wanted to let James know, and she immediately clears suspicions that the Sovereign Six ever betrayed them. Eric is then asked about Maggie. He says she has played the game brilliantly, never letting anyone see her hand. Michael is questioned about his experience in the house. Michael confronts his detractors, telling them America knows the truth that his enemies were lying, and he regrets nothing.
When Julie asks Howie about his fight with April, he laughs it off, "That was strictly for television." We revisit April's claims that it was not America's Choice to have Michael call Janelle over her, the newlywed, then calling BIG BROTHER viewers "pieces of s***" for picking Janey instead of her. April dismisses it with, "being in the House is nuts," and apologizes for her "emotional, crazy mess."
Julie then tells everyone that Kaysar received over 80% of the viewer vote to return him to the house, and asks Jen how that makes her feel. Jennifer is unapologetic, and equally unrepentant Eric tries to throw aspersions on Kaysar's behavior until the audience boos him into silence and Julie moves on to a more palatable subject.
