Episode Fifteen.
It was the last week in the house and only four housemates remained, Jeff Hardy, Hurricane, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. The public would be voting all week for whom they want to win, the person with the least votes would leave on Thursday, and the others would wait till Friday for the final result.
The superstars had already been told this and were hyped up knowing that they had a ¼ chance of winning.
Chris Jericho had left the night before and despite their argument, Stephanie was missing him.
"People, people gather round, Big Brother has set us a two-day task!" said Jeff excitedly.
The housemates sat in the living room area with fake enthusiasm to listen to what Big Brother had to say.
Big Brother housemates, over the next two days, you will learn a few circus skills, those being juggling, riding a unicycle and pogo-sticking. You will be tested on Monday and if you pass the task, you will be rewarded with a candlelight dinner with exquisite food supplied by Big Brother with a partner of your choice on Wednesday evening.
"Awww, a candlelight dinner, sounds romantic, Hurricane would you care to accompy me on this date?" asked Jeff.
"The Hurricane will have to check his schedule."
"The Hurricane can delete his schedule, your having dinner with me!" proclaimed Jeff smiling at Hurricane.
"But you can't…you can't leave me with my ex-husband, what will I do, I don't want to spend an evening with him!" said Stephanie pointing to Triple H.
"Oh Stephanie, your really hurting my feelings now." Said Triple H sarcastically.
"Jeff..please!"
"Sorry Steph, but my heart belongs to the Hurricane."
"Don't worry Steph, we'll have a splendid time, catch up on old times." Triple H laughed.
"I don't believe this, I pray to God that the food will be good, because the company certainly won't, listening to you Gobble, Munch like a animal, it makes me sick."
"Well, you might be in luck, cause if we don't pass this task, no-one gets a dinner."
"Good, I don't want to pass the stupid task." Stropped Stephanie.
"Stand back people, here comes the temper tantrum." Joked Triple H.
Stephanie stormed off to the bedroom whilst the other three housemates laughed.
Several hours later and all the housemates even Stephanie were trying their hand at the tasks, Hurricane and Jeff were teaching each other how to juggle, whilst Stephanie was struggling on the unicycle.
After falling off after only a couple of metres of the 10th time, Stephanie threw the unicycle on the ground.
"I can't do it, the damned thing, its impossible!"
Triple H walked on over.
"Its not impossible, its all about balance, you just have to get your centre of gravity in the right place."
"Oh here we go, another lecture from Dr. Know it all, Why don't you try, then your see how difficult it is."
"Fine, watch the Champion at work."
Triple H picked up the unicycle and climbed on it, and making it look as easy as pie, he glided across the living room and back to Stephanie.
"See, its all about balance, now do you want to pass the task or not."
"No not really." Sulked Stephanie.
"Well, I do, so Ill teach you, come on, get on." Ordered Triple H.
Stephanie grudgingly climbed on the unicycle, Triple H stood behind her and put his hand on her waist, Stephanie blushed at his touch and as he grasped her stomach, she felt her skin getting hot.
"Now just ride forward, keep your head up, Ill stay with you, balance yourself."
Stephanie tried his advice and as she rode forward, she felt better and more confident but it wasn't that easy. About halfway Stephanie lost her balance and toppled over, Triple H grabbed her waist as she fell on top of him.
"Whoa, easy there!" said Triple H.
Stephanie landed on his stomach and as she pulled herself she looked into his eyes, it seemed as if bolt of electricity had shot between them as Stephanie felt herself go weak.
He was so gorgeous, she felt his heart pumping fast beneath her head, she wanted to kiss him right there and then but her brain held her back, pushing herself up she picked up the unicycle.
"I think Ill give it a break now, try and have a go at pogo-sticking." She said embarrassed walking into the garden.
Despite Stephanie's claims, she couldn't pogo-stick to save her life, Triple H watched from the background laughing as she fell off, Stephanie had a few tantrums at first but as the day whore on, eventually began to laugh at herself, she hadn't laughed happily in ages, it seemed only Triple H could make her feel like a kid again.
"What is wrong with me today, first the unicycle, now this, I guess we will never get that dinner." Stephanie said, surprising herself, a day ago she hated the thought of having dinner with Hunter, but now after he was being so kind, she thought it would be quite good.
"Hey, we are going to have that dinner, even if you have to practise all day." Hunter proclaimed, grabbing the pogo stick and positioning it on the mat.
"Come on, let's try again, and remember once again it's all about balance…"
"Oh, no not another balance lectures." She laughed.
Task Assessment.
Commentators: So finally the time has come, after relentless practising, the housemates have to unicycle across the living room, which by the way they have two tries at, juggle for 20 seconds and pogo stick for 30 seconds.
Yes its certainly is a tough course, after watching them practise early this morning it seems Jeff, Hurricane and Triple H have the hang of it but in this task, Stephanie is the liability.
Well, Triple H has been helping her all morning.
They were very close I might add.
Oh look, here they come, Big Brother has just called them in and Jeff and Hurricane seem pumped up and confident.
Look at Stephanie she looks like she's got tears in her eyes.
Triple H is comforting Stephanie, who seems really nervous. Looks like they are going to try the juggling first, Jeff takes the stand.
Overall Jeff seems the best at juggling.
Ok the timer has gone and Jeff begin, oh look at him go, smiling as well, look at that, he breezes through the 20 seconds.
I always thought Jeff looked like someone from the circus.
Ok, welcome back, we have now moved on onto the pogo-sticking, in the previous round all four housemates managed to juggle for 20 seconds.
Even Stephanie.
Yes Stephanie managed to juggle for 20 seconds, she was very happy.
Yes very happy, Triple H gave her a big hug afterwards.
Anyway, let me remind you that the group are allowed one mistake, but if they make any more than that, they have failed the task.
No candlelight dinner.
Thank you, for stating the obvious, Ok Hurricane is going up for the pogo stick, he look very good in the warm-up.
Well off course, he looked good, he's a superhero, and he takes great pride in his appearance.
Hurricane is on the pogo stick and is bouncing around at a tremendous speed, can he hold on for the 30 seconds…yes he can Hurricane has passed.
I'm sure in superhero training,
Superhero training?
Yeah, in superhero training he probably had to do various tasks like these, pogo-sticking was obviously no problem for Hurricane.
Next up is Stephanie McMahon.
Looking very sexy today.
But will she be able to perform on the pogo stick, which she has struggled to do in the past.
Triple H giving her words of encouragement.
And Stephanie is up, trying her hardest to reach that 30 seconds…Oh no she's gone, the pogo-stick touched the outside of the mat and the pogo-stick slipped beneath her feet, was that 30 seconds, I don't think so.
They should give her another go, Big Brother is so mean!
Big Brother has just announced that they have lost their one-life line, meaning they have to keep a clean sheet from now on, with Triple H and Jeff to do the pogo stick and for them all to do the unicycle.
Stephanie is crying here! Bye Bye dinner, that's what shes thinking, I think that's what we are all thinking, there is no way Stephanie can do the unicycle.
It's not over until the fat lady sings, so lets just see.
We have just seen Triple H and Jeff successfully complete the pogo stick and now its time for the dreaded unicycle, Jeff and Hurricane have already gone, now its Triple H's turn, remember one mistake and they have failed the task.
I don't think Triple H will mess up, he's the best out of all of them.
Look at the concentration of his face, he really wants to pass this.
What he really wants is dinner with Stephanie.
And Triple H is off, what amazing agility by the big man, he has done it, smiling happily at the other housemates, but now is the real test, can Stephanie ride the unicycle across the room?
She looks really nervous, the whole weight of the dinner relies on her.
She climbs on, Triple H holding the cycle steady, she's off…oh she's going, the cycles wobbling… oh my god I thinks he's done it, the unicycle past the line then wobbled over.
The siren hasn't gone off like last time, she's done it!
Triple H has run over and helped up Stephanie from the floor, giving her huge hug.
Look at Stephanie she's ecstatic!
Yes Big Brother has just announced that they have successfully completed the task and there dinner will take place tomorrow night.
Hey don't suffocate her Triple H!
What a great day it has been, the superstars have successfully completed their task and tomorrow night they will have their dinner. This has been the official Big Brother commentators. Goodbye.
Big Brother had reminded them that this is a formal dinner and formal wear was needed, Triple H stood in front of the mirror with Jeff, gelling his hair, and adding his bow tie.
"So what you got planned for tonight then Hunter." Smiled Jeff.
"What do you mean?"
"Come on, how are you going to entice Stephanie back into your home."
"I'm going to do nothing of the sort, it's just a stupid little dinner in the Big Brother house."
"Oh yeah whatever, this dinner is so much more, its going to make or break your marriage."
"Unlike you Jeff, I'm not taking this dinner as seriously as you, why did you want to go with Hurricane so badly anyway?"
"So you and Stephanie could go together."
"Yeah maybe, but I think you've got a thing for Hurricane."
" Don't be so immature." Said Jeff blushing.
"Well, whatever happens, Good Luck, I hope it goes well for the both of us."
Stephanie and Hurricane were in the other bedroom, Hurricane was helping Stephanie fix up her hair.
"So looking forward to tonight then?" asked Hurricane.
"You know, I'm not sure, its certainly going to be interesting, if you told me at the start that I was going to dinner with Hunter and I would have laughed, but it seems this whole experience has made me look at him in a different light."
"Its so obvious he's crazy about you." Said Hurricane.
"Yeah well, where see, don't get your hopes up, anyway what's up with you and Jeff, will it be a special evening?" Stephanie winked.
"Madam, its just two friends having dinner, that's all."
"Ok, Ok, but do you like him?"
"Jeff is a nice guy."
"Nice guy! You so want him."
"And you so want Triple H, why else would you wear that glamorous dress and pay so much attention to your hair."
"I just want to look nice, that's all." Stephanie said quickly, looking at her watch. "Looks like its time to go, wow I have butterflies in my stomach, it's like going out on a first date."
One table complete with fancy napkins and candles was positioned in the convesatory whist the other was in the garden. Stephanie didn't want to get cold so her and Triple H were in the converstory, Hurricane and Jeff were in the garden.
Triple H sat in his seat looking at the food, it was all so posh, Stephanie walked over in her high heel shoes. God, she was beautiful, Triple H thought.
"Hello." She said shyly, it seemed so weird having a posh dinner in the house.
"Hello."
Stephanie sat down and smiled nervously at Triple H, who looked so handsome in his suit.
"Well, this is a change then." Said Stephanie. " Something I'm use to, I tell you before coming into this house I had never even had beans on toast!" She laughed.
"Well, this has been a different experience." Smiled Triple H.
Stephanie smiled back and started to eat the food.
"You look really beautiful tonight."
Oh God, he's coming on to me already, Stephanie thought.
"You too." Said Stephanie to break the silence.
"You did really well in the task today, to be honest I didn't think you were going to do it."
"I know it was like the hardest task ever, my hands were shaking on the unicycle, I only just had it."
Talking of the task seemed to break the tension and the couple began to talk about the previous tasks they had had and the early days in the house.
"Remember the Booker T and Tajiri fight?" laughed Triple H.
"Wow, that seems like ages ago, what was it over again?"
"Conditioner."
They both suddenly burst into laughter, they both had the same sense of humour.
"Who left after Tajiri?" asked Stephanie.
"Trish."
"Oh yeah, that slut." Said Stephanie evilly.
"That was so funny, the ratings must have soared when you had that catfight."
"Yeah, well I'm the Dominant female in this house." Said Stephanie proudly.
Triple H thought back to the Trish/Stephanie wars not only in the house but back in the WWF, that was a feud that would never die.
"We have done well to get here though, I never thought I'd get in the final four." Said Stephanie.
"Yeah I know."
"What is that suppose to mean Hunter?" laughed Stephanie punching him playfully on the arm.
Jeff sat with Hurricane in the garden, he was enjoying himself but he kept looking towards Triple H and Stephanie table.
"They seem to be getting along very well." Noted Jeff.
" There's a thin line between love and hate, even they were doing all that nasty stuff to each other, they were just trying to make the other jealous or mad because the other hurt them."
"Look, who's the little psychologist." Jeff said sarcastically.
"What's the matter, you don't seem the same tonight."
"I don't know, when I first came into the house, I had a crush on Hunter, although I knew he was way out my league, it just hurts to know that he will never be interested in me like I am to him."
"I'm sorry Jeff, but his mind was always on Stephanie."
"I know, its just these days I have felt so lonely, I haven't been with someone for ages."
Hurricane looked into Jeff's eyes.
"You have me."
Jeff looked back at Hurricane and smiled.
"Yeah I have you."
Stephanie laughed and smiled away as Triple retold tales from the McMahon-Helmsley Era. They had been talking about past memories for over half an hour now.
"Yeah you ruled that day, seeing the Undertaker all battered and bloodied was priceless."
"Yeah those were the days."
How times have changed though, thought Stephanie, just a year before they were inseparble but after Hunter had got injured, Stephanie had done her own thing and that was the catalyst that broke them apart.
If only Hunter hadn't got injured.
"Looks like Jeff and Hurricane have finished" said Triple H looking at the empty table in the garden.
"We've been so busy talking, we didn't even realise they came in."
"So do you think there will be a second date?" asked Hunter.
"Well, that's up to you." Flirted Stephanie.
"Up to me, well why don't we have our second date in the bedroom."
"Sorry, you always came up a bit short in the bedroom." Stephanie laughed.
"Would you like me to walk you to your bedroom?" asked Hunter.
"If you insist."
Stephanie got up and Hunter grabbed her jacket, he placed it around her shoulders, his hands brushing against her skin.
They walked out of the conversatory towards Stephanie's bedroom.
"So are see you tomorrow?" hoped Triple H.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow." Stephanie went to open the door but Triple H stopped her.
"Don't I get a goodnight kiss?"
"Hunter!" Stepahnie exclaimed slapping his wrist.
"Come on, just one on the cheek."
"Fine."
"Stephanie leened forward and kissed him on the cheek, but Hunter moved and kissed her gently on the lips. Stephanie reciogated and kissed him back, he felt so good on her, she had missed him and wanted his big soft arms around her, Triple H opened the door and lead Stephanie in, still in his arms, they lay down on the nearest bed. This felt so good to Stephanie, but then she remembered the wedding vows, how he had humiliated her, all the nasty things he had said about her, could she just forget that, he had pedigreed her at Wrestlemania, he wanted her out of his life.
Stephanie pushed away and looked up at Triple H.
"Whats the matter Steph, I thought you wanted this."
"Hunter, I think you should go."
Stephanie got off the bed and walked to the door opening it for Hunter.
"Ill see you tomorrow."
"Steph, whats the matter? I'm sorry..I.."
"I said, I'll see you tomorrow."
Hunter walked at the door and Stephanie closed it.
"What the fuck am I doing?" she thought. The one man she wanted more than anyone and she was turning him away, but their was that little part of her heart, that didn't think she could ever forgive him for what he did to her.
Hello and welcome to the Thursday Eviction Night, this is the last week in the house and the public have voting all week for who they want to win, the person with the least votes will go tonight.
And what a week it has been, first successfully passing their task, and then the candlelight dinners that sparked interest from all over the country as Triple H and Stephanie seemed to have put their past differences behind them. Or have they?
Will Stephanie forgive Triple H?
Is it too late, will one of them go tonight?
Not a lot has happened in the house today, Stephanie was kept her distance from Triple H and as spent the afternoon preparing for a possible eviction and then talking in the Jacuzzi to Hurricane.
At the moment, all their suitcases are packed and they are sitting in the living room area, their nerves must be at a all time high knowing that if they don't go tonight then will have to wait till tomorrow to find out if they become the winner of WWF Big Brother.
Ok, now we go live to the house.
Hello, this is Big Brother.
Hello Big Brother, the housemates cheered.
This week the public have been voting as to who they want to win Big Brother, the person with the least votes, leaves tonight.
The seventh person to leave the Big Brother house will be.
Hurricane.
The housemates ran to console Hurricane, Hurricane who had only been in the house for three weeks, expected it to be him and was happy to go, unlike the usual evictions, Hurricane was to leave straight away and after giving hugs to Jeff, Triple H and Stephanie, headed back into the outside world.
"Wow, can you believe it, the final three, roll on tomorrow." Cheered Jeff.
"Yeah, just think this time tomorrow, one of us would have won Big Brother." Said Triple H.
Jeff decided to get a early night and headed for bed soon after, Stephanie remained in the living room, drinking her coffee and reading her book.
Triple H who had hardly spoke to her, since the night before, walked over.
" Nearly there." Said Triple H. "Only 24 hours to go."
"Yeah, are to so glad to live a normal life again."
"Stephanie, I think we need to talk."
"We are talking."
"I mean about last night."
Stephanie knew this was going to come up some time, but she was still confused about her own feelings towards Hunter.
"Look, I know the last few months have not gone the way we hoped."
"That's putting it lightly."
"But I mean what I said after your argument with Trish, I still love you and I always have, the words I said afterwards, that was crap, I just hated seeing you with Jericho and Kurt buzzing around you like a fly, it hit me hard."
"How do you think I felt when you went off with Trish."
"Oh, so your saying this is my fault."
"Well, look at all the things you've done, you hated me enough to pedigree me in front of millions of people, humilate and degrade me…"
"Look what you did, faking your own pregnancy, making me look like a complete fool."
"You drove me to it, you completely ingnored me, not letting me come to ringside, we weren't a team anymore, it was all about you." Stephanie screeched.
"Look, this is getting us nowhere."
"You can't ignore though Hunter, you can't pretend it didn't happen, you can't just kiss me and pretend that everything is fine, because I will never forget."
"I know, but I want you to know that I care, I want to make it up to you, I don't know how but I want too, Stephanie please, my life is incomplete without you, this whole Big Brother thing has made me realise that, Steph, what can I do to make it better, what can I do to give us a chance."
"I don't know, I don't know, its so confusing, I can't make a decision now."
"Well, let me make it simpler for you."
Triple H suddenly got down on one knee in front of Stephanie.
"Stephanie Marie McMahon, will you marry me?"
In the Next Episode.
Will Stephanie accept Hunter's offer? And the winner of Big Brother is announced.
