Totally not a participation trophy at all…anyway, onto the episode.
Previously On Big Brother: The second double eviction of the summer started out hot when Gwen and Trent went on the block. Noah was having a crisis that he had no chance of winning and seriously was thinking of dropping Brick before he could make it to the finale. In the first eviction of the night, Trent was sent packing and joined the Jury members. Moments after, Brick kept him and Noah alive winning his second HOH of the summer targeting Gwen and Jasmine, who he instantly nominated. However, Gwen cropped up the Veto winning her way to freedom and LeShawna was put in her place. At the second eviction, LeShawna was sent home and America's Player was no more. Tonight, the five remaining houseguests are visited from BB16 Runner-Up Cody Calafiore and Chris makes a stop inside the house to make a special announcement of the new twist. The BB Rewind is in action and it can be pressed to change the game forever. Will it be pressed and who will become the new Head Of Household? Also, who will be nominated for eviction?

Chapter 37-The Race For The Money
It was just moments that LeShawna was evicted. Gwen was crying hugging Jasmine as she didn't have very many allies left.
Gwen: Trent and LeShawna just went home in the same night and I'm the only target left for Noah and Brick to get rid of. I feel so alone in this house.
"It's alright, sheila. They are going home next." Jasmine promised as she rubbed Gwen's back.
Jasmine: Noah and Brick are sure very proud of themselves for making poor Gwen feel sad for eliminating her boyfriend and best friend. They have overstayed their welcome and they need to go asap. I'll deal with Anne Maria on my own terms.
Noah and Brick were satisfied that they got two major threats out of the game. Noah breathed a sigh of relief.
"At last, this stupid feud has ended." Noah stated.
"You sure put up a good fight, soldier." Brick complimented.
"It ain't over yet. We still have three girls to worry about." Noah warned.
"That's right. That's going to be tough since they are all good players." Brick stated.
"I just need to win HOH and we can focus on who goes home from there." Noah explained.
Brick: Me and Noah ruled double eviction night, but we are still on our own and there's not much game left. There will be four of us soon and it's time to start cracking down on small strategies.
Anne Maria was taking off her dinosaur costume as she seemed proud of herself.
Anne Maria: It's about time the biggest alliance crumbled and got out of this house. They was sure going to make the final 3 with Gwen and I wasn't about to let that happen. There's a spot reserved for me in there.
"That was great." Anne Maria whispered.
The Memory Wall blacked out a bit as everyone stopped to see the blackout.
"What's going on?" Jasmine asked.
"Is it another one of those scary, trauma situations before it's revealed to be the HOH Competition?" Noah asked.
The picture came back on and revealed a gold button inside of a glass box.
"Woooo! We got some serious coin now!" Anne Maria exclaimed.
"A gold button? What do you guys think it means?" Brick asked.
"Maybe some kind of reset button?" Gwen suggested.
"It could be a temptation. It's a blessing or a trap." Jasmine stated.
Noah: I'm too far ahead in this game to let a button ruin my chances at a half million dollars. There's no way I'm pressing this button even if my life depended on it.
"I ain't pressing that. That's too risky." Noah stated.
"Would you really pass the mystery up? What if it's a secret Veto button?" Brick asked.
That piqued Noah's interest as he looked at the shining button glistening in the light.
Noah: Brick needs to shut that freakin' mouth of his.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The houseguests searched all over the house for this mystery button. They searched in the bedrooms, the bathroom and even the backyard.
"Nothing, nothing, nothing. That's not a room we are familiar with." Brick stated.
"What rooms haven't we checked?" Gwen asked.
"The Have Not Room." Noah replied.
"Why would it be there?" Jasmine asked.
"They would put it in a room where we wouldn't think it would be. We all try to stay away from that place so they knew it wouldn't be so obvious." Noah replied.
"He's a got a point. That would be the last place any of us would look." Anne Maria added.
"Follow me, soldiers. Let's find out what this button is." Brick ordered.
The other four houseguests followed Brick to the Have Not Room. Brick opened the door and the room was decked out in black walls with the words "The Choice Is Yours" written all over the walls in red. The button stood in the middle of the room as everyone entered.
"The choice is ours. This is really risky." Noah stated.
Gwen: A golden button with some kind of power or curse. This game is more risky now than it ever was and it's only just getting started. Does someone come back in the game? Is there some sort of prize money? Instant eviction? It could be anything.
Suddenly, the lights go out as everyone screams even Brick, who climbs on top of Noah.
"Get off of me!" Noah exclaimed.
"Something just touched my back!" Gwen alerted.
"Monster!" Brick cried.
Anne Maria found the light switch and the light came back on. The five houseguests looked around and saw a laughing Chris McClean standing in front of the button.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Oh you should see the looks on your faces! I got you five good!" Chris laughed.
"You really think you're funny, don't you?" Anne Maria asked.
"The audience seem to think so. Anyway, you're all probably wondering why I'm here." Chris replied.
"Not really. We're really thinking when you'll leave." Noah retorted as he bucked Brick off of him.
"Well, I know you're all wondering what this button does. It could be anything. Something good or bad. Can't really tell." Chris stated.
"Will you please just get what you want to say over with?" Gwen demanded.
"Would it kill you to a little nicer to your co-host? I can evict you right now." Chris replied.
"You can't do that." Gwen challenged.
"Well, normally I can't, but I don't see anyone stopping me from trying." Chris stated.
Jasmine: I can see why people hate Chris. He's really sadistic and mean to everyone.
"So what's the button for?" Brick asked.
"Great question. Why don't you press it and find out?" Chris offered as he opened the glass box.
Brick stepped forward until Anne Maria arched him back.
"You think we're stupid. That button could be booby trap." Anne Maria stated.
"Suit yourself." Chris stated as he closed the glass box.
The lights went off again as everyone screamed. The light came back on and Chris was gone in an instant.
"How does he do that?" Brick asked.
"Obviously, he wants us to press this button, but knowing Chris, he wants to have a reason to torture us." Gwen replied.
"There's nothing more torturing than temptation. Well played." Noah commented.
Anne Maria: We are all going to debating whether to press that darn button or not. I'm pressing it, of course, because everyone will be too chicken. I'm winning this game and this button can really help me.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everyone was in the living room wondering about the button.
"That's going to change the game and probably one of us goes home because of it." Noah stated.
"Curiosity killed the cat. It can also evict you too." Gwen added.
Noah: This is the farthest I've ever gotten and I can't let one button or four houseguests ruin my game. I am the biggest threat right now and I need to secure another HOH to send one of them home. I also need to find out who I can beat in the finale.
"I'm not pressing it. Chris wants that to happen." Gwen stated.
"It's a difficult situation. You want to press to find out what it does, but there's also the chance it's something bad." Brick explained.
"Exactly and Chris wants us to screw up since we are all this far." Noah stated.
"It's certainly going to be interesting. Someone's gonna crack." Anne Maria stated.
Brick: Crack, huh? That might as well be me, because I'm a curious person. I might just be the one to press the button by the end of the week.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Gwen and Jasmine were in the Tye Dye Room as they started talking.
"You and me are the only good ones left. We need to win HOH or we're on the block." Gwen warned.
"Definitely. I've always been so close, but could never do it." Jasmine whispered.
"So if one of us wins, put up Noah and Brick. Keep an eye on the Have Not Room, because Noah and Brick are gonna wanna press that button. That could give them some extra Veto like Brick said." Gwen explained.
"That's very true. I can keep them from going in there." Jasmine offered.
Gwen: The upcoming HOH competition is my only chance to stay in this game. Noah or Brick is heading home this week and I'm gonna make sure that it happens.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The five remaining houseguests enter the backyard and they see crops up, cows everywhere and a barnyard setting. Four giant shovels were placed in the middle and they seemed to be like a teeter-totter where you would have to balance yourself. There were buckets of different colored balls in four buckets. Brick went to the side and grabbed the instructions card.
"Welcome to the BB Farm. It's sure going to be a hard day on the farm as we plant the seeds to stir up some good ol' drama. As outgoing HOH, I won't be able to compete in this challenge. Your jobs as the farmhands is to guide seeds from your bucket to the end of the shovel and make sure it's balanced. You must balance yourselves on your shovel and make it to the end to place down your seeds. If you fall off or your seeds fall off your shovel, you will have to start over. The first houseguest to balance all 12 seeds on their shovel end, climb under their fence and hit their buzzer will be the new Head Of Household. Let's get ready to play Seeds Of Doubt!" Brick announced.
Gwen: This is the most important HOH win of my life. I don't win and I'm most likely the next one meeting Julie.
Noah: I need this win to make sure I can stay in this game, because I'm a big target. That button may be my last chance if necessary.
Anne Maria: I wanna win so I can send Jasmine home. She called me out during tonight's double eviction and she's gonna go out on my HOH.
Jasmine: Noah and Brick are obviously the targets so me or Gwen has to win to make sure we make the final 4. It's time to get in gear.
"Go!" Brick commanded.
The four houseguests crawled under their fences as they started picking up their first seed and balanced on their shovel. Noah and Jasmine looked to be faster getting their first seed on their end. Anne Maria tripped and fell off cursing herself.
Jasmine: Me and Noah are the pure athletes in this competition so I have to put everything I have into this to make sure he doesn't stay this week.
Jasmine was going a lot faster and had her second seed placed on the end of her shovel. Noah tripped and dropped his seed meaning he have to start over. Gwen got her first seed on the end of her shovel and began heading back. Jasmine got her third seed on the end of her shovel just as Anne Maria got her first one on the end of her shovel.
Anne Maria: I finally get my first seed on the end of my shovel and I look over to see Jasmine already having three. What's up with that?!
Jasmine got her fourth seed on the end just as Anne Maria got her second seed on the end of her shovel. Jasmine got her fifth seed on the end of her shovel just as Noah got his first after tripping and slipping off most of the time.
Noah: Jasmine is in a big lead and I'm thinking that my safety in this house is diminishing by a lot. I needed to pick up the pace.
Jasmine gets her sixth seed on the end of her shovel and Gwen got her second seed on the end of her shovel. Anne Maria got her third seed on the end of her shovel and Jasmine managed to get seventh seed on the end of her shovel.
Jasmine: I really feel like I have this competition in the bag and I have a great balance from climbing in trees and on roc-
Jasmine trips and falls off her shovel as she slaps the mat.
Jasmine: Nevermind.
Noah got his second seed on the end of his shovel, Gwen got her third and Anne Maria got her fourth seed while snickering at Jasmine. Jasmine would get back in it by having her first seed on the end of her shovel while Anne Maria got her fifth seed on the end of her shovel. This cycle would continue as Jasmine got her second and Anne Maria got her sixth. Noah got his third seed on the end of his shovel while Anne Maria got her seventh.
Gwen: Anne Maria winning would be very bad also as she wants Jasmine out. That means I would be left without an ally. I need to step it up if I want to stay.
Gwen got her fourth seed on the end of her shovel and Anne Maria got her eighth. Noah got his fourth seed, Gwen got her fifth seed and Anne Maria got her ninth seed. Noah would get his fifth seed and Gwen would get her sixth seed. Jasmine got her third as Noah got his fifth seed on the end of his shovel. Noah got his sixth seed on the end of his shovel and Gwen got her seventh seed on the end of her shovel. Noah got his seventh seed on the end, Gwen got her eighth seed on the end and Jasmine got her fourth seed on the end. Noah got his eighth seed on the end of his shovel while Gwen tied with Anne Maria eight her ninth.
Anne Maria: Noah and Gwen are catching up so I need to hurry up getting this tenth seed on my shovel. I just don't want to mess this up.
Noah and Gwen kept their neck and neck battle as Gwen took the lead with her tenth and Noah tied with Anne Maria with his ninth seed. Jasmine was in last place getting her fifth seed on the end. Anne Maria finally got her tenth seed on the end just as Noah tied with her and Gwen. Noah and Anne Maria got their eleventh seed on their end. Noah and Anne Maria got their last seeds to the end of their shovels as they quickly head back. Anne Maria climbs under the fence and hit her buzzer first.
"Congratulations, Anne Maria, you are the new Head Of Household!" Brick announced.
Noah was halfway under the fence when he hit the grass in frustration.
Anne Maria(Head Of Household): I have won the power and a ticket to the final 4. This is so exciting that I may actually have a chance at winning this entire game.
Jasmine joined up with Gwen as they had to talk strategy.
Jasmine: Anne Maria wins HOH and that is bad news for me, because I'm pretty sure she'll be coming after me. I seriously need to win the Veto or I'm pretty sure I'm being sent home.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everyone came inside as Brick, Noah, Gwen and Jasmine went to the Have Not Room. They saw that the glass box was lifted leaving the gold button exposed.
"Alright, I say we declare a truce." Noah stated.
"Why so?" Gwen asked.
"Anne Maria is in charge and she can come after any of us. Me and Brick got who we wanted so we're even." Noah replied.
"Why should we trust you two?" Jasmine asked.
"She wants you gone. Don't you want at least two votes to stay?" Brick asked.
"Depends on who goes up beside me." Jasmine replied.
"Maybe Gwen or me. She might keep Brick just til Final 4." Noah explained.
Gwen: Anne Maria is in control this week and Noah wants a truce. I hate to do this, but we might just have to work together in order to send Anne Maria home.
"Alright, we can call a truce. We just need to make a decision on this button." Gwen stated.
"It's risky. What if it evicts one of us immediately?" Brick asked.
"That would be bad, but the weaker player would have to take that punishment." Noah replied.
"What if it brings LeShawna or Trent back into the game?" Jasmine asked.
"I don't think so. Seems too late for that." Gwen replied.
"There's no telling what this button will do." Brick explained.
"It's our only defense against Anne Maria. Who's with me?" Noah asked as he placed his hand on the button.
Gwen and Jasmine out their hands with his. Brick did the same as all four houseguests pushed the button down. A clock started to form on the TV and it was counting down.
Gwen: We push down the button and all we get is a clock. This can't be good.
"It's a bomb! We're all gonna die!" Brick screamed.
"Get ahold of yourself!" Noah demanded.
"Whatever this clock represents, it seems to be happening in five days." Jasmine observed.
"Looks like we'll have to wait and see what it's about. Gwen stated.
The four houseguests decided to exit the room as the clock continued to tick down.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In the Green Room, Gwen and Jasmine were talking some game.
"I know I'm probably going up." Jasmine stated.
"Don't worry, this works in our favor." Gwen explained.
"What makes you say that?" Jasmine asked.
"If I win Veto and take you off, Brick would have to go up. The problem is that button might prevent one of them from going home." Gwen replied.
Jasmine: That button can either be my ticket off the block or could send me home very quickly. I wanna make the final 2 with Gwen so it's a fair finale.
"I've won two Vetoes so far and it's mostly during physical competitions." Jasmine explained.
"I bet you can win this one coming up and save yourself." Gwen stated.
"That means you might be going up." Jasmine warned.
"Maybe...just depends on the button." Gwen stated.
Gwen: I want to win the Veto and pull Jasmine off the block just in case that button doesn't do anything to the eviction. The worst that could happen is that I go up and end up going home.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Gwen and Anne Maria were in the storage room as they started talking.
"So what are you thinking?" Gwen asked.
"I'm definitely putting up Jasmine and she's going home this week." Anne Maria replied.
"I understand you both have some vendetta after the whole teaming with Sugar thing, but Noah and Brick are still in the house." Gwen reminded.
"I can beat those chumps in the finale." Anne Maria scoffed.
"What makes you so sure you're safe with them?" Gwen asked.
That struck a nerve with Anne Maria. She didn't really think with that.
"I see you haven't don't all your thinking." Gwen taunted with a smirk.
"You better watch who you talk to, gothie. You could be the next one on my hit list." Anne Maria warned.
Gwen: Please! This is like dealing with Heather in Season 1. Empty threats and all talk. I can win the Veto and safe myself. She's going down next week.
Anne Maria(Head Of Household): Noah and Brick can be easily swayed if I promise them the Final 3, but I need to be on my A-Game if I truly want to win this game. It all counts within the next couple weeks.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The five houseguests were lounging around the house and the doorbell rang.
"What the-who's that?" Gwen asked.
"I tell you it's someone coming back in." Brick stated.
The others crowded around the door ready to see if a returning houseguest was coming in. The door opened as someone the houseguests didn't recognize. He smiled and greeted the houseguests.
"Hey everyone, my name is Cody Calafiore from Season 16 of Big Brother." Cody greeted.
"So you were a contestant here?" Noah asked.
"That's right. I was the runner-up in my season." Cody replied as he came in.
"Nice to meet you, sir. Brick McArthur at your service." Brick greeted as he did a salute.
"At ease, man. Nice to meet you." Cody greeted as he shook Brick's hand.
"I'm Gwen." Gwen greeted with a smile.
"It's nice to meet you." Cody greeted, shaking her hand.
Everyone gathered in the living room as they began talking about what's been going on in the house.
"This place looks different every season and I'm really liking it." Cody observed.
"So you were the runner-up in your season?" Anne Maria asked.
"That's right. It was me and my best friend, Derrick. He won the Jury vote and he was awarded $500,000. I got $50,000 since I was the runner-up." Cody replied.
Gwen: Even the runner-up gets money? Wow, I probably should've been on this show instead of butting heads with Courtney over Duncan.
Brick: Money for the runner-up? Interesting concept this show has.
"So what's been going on this season? I have been keeping tabs, but I've mostly been modeling." Cody explained.
"Well, it's just us five left. We also had this secret button in the room." Gwen replied.
"I was originally voted out, but I won the Jury competition to re-enter the house." Brick added.
"That's always nice. You five seem to have gotten very far in the game." Cody explained.
"So why did you come into the house? You're not here to compete, are you?" Noah asked.
"I didn't have a bag with me although it would be awesome if I did get the chance. I'm here with some news for you guys." Cody replied.
Cody stood up front as everyone remained sifted on the chairs.
"It's always special since you all are a few weeks away from the finale. However, it means that only three of you can advance. You five might just get an instant ticket into the Final 3 with this." Cody announced as he held up a small blue ticket with the words "BB Advance".
"What's that?" Noah asked.
"This is the BB Advancement Ticket. This is an offer for all five of you and this ticket may help you getting into the Final 3." Cody replied.
Jasmine: An advancement ticket into the Final 3? There has to be some sort of risk especially since we are this far in the game.
Anne Maria(Head Of Household): I'm already heading to the Final 4. That ticket is as good as mine.
"With this ticket, you will have instant access in the Final 3. However, accepting this means you must sit out of the first round of the final HOH competition. There's three parts and on finale night, the Final HOH can decide who to take with them to the Final 2. It's a blessing, but it could cost you a half-million dollars." Cody explained.
The five houseguests looked at each other with amazement and nervousness. They all nodded their heads and looked at Cody.
"We'll have to decline your offer. It's just too risky." Gwen explained.
"That's fine. The ticket is no longer on the table and the game continues as normal." Cody announced.
Brick: Instant access to the finale would've been nice, but automatically being on the block is much worse. It's better to earn your spot than get a free ride there.
Anne Maria(Head Of Household): Whatever, I can handle taking on three competitions at once and then winning this entire game. I'm this close and I can feel that green paper on my nails.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Anne Maria walked across the living room and looked at the Memory Wall. She gathered the four keys and walked back up the staircase. The camera zoomed in on Jasmine's face.
Jasmine: Anne Maria has had it out for me ever since we broke up the alliance. I need to win Veto and make sure I'm safe this week.
The camera zoomed in on Gwen's face.
Gwen: Anne Maria may nominate me, but just as someone to have up there. Her true intention is getting Jasmine out so I need to work out stuff to keep us both here.
The camera zoomed in on Noah's face.
Noah: Me and Brick are still together, but we lost a pact with Anne Maria so that means we are probably her targets. She may hate Jasmine, but she could have a better time beating her in the final vote.
Anne Maria inserted the two keys into the nomination block. She snickered as she took the block and headed to the dining room. Gwen, Jasmine, Noah and Brick all sat at the dining table waiting for Anne Maria. She came through and sat the nomination block on the table.
"This is the nomination ceremony. As Head Of Household, I have to nominate two of you for eviction. The keys in the nomination block are they houseguests I've selected to nominate and their faces will appear on the Memory Wall. The first houseguest I've nominated for eviction is…" Anne Maria began before turning the first key.
Jasmine's face appeared on the wall as she looked down at the floor.
"The second houseguest I've nominated for eviction is…" Anne Maria began before turning the second key.
Noah's face appeared on the Memory Wall before he nodded.
"I've nominated you, Noah, and you, Jasmine. Jasmine, you've had this coming ever since you decided I was no longer trustworthy and dumped me. Noah, you have played one of the best games this season and that's just one of the many reasons to send you home. This nomination ceremony is adjourned." Anne Maria concluded.
Everyone started to get up from the dining room table as Gwen and Jasmine hugged.
Jasmine(Nominee): No surprise here, but the week is only starting so I'm gonna win Veto and kick Anne Maria to the curb.
Brick and Noah walked back to the Country Room.
Noah(Nominee): I'm on the block which I guessed would've happened, but I've won three Vetoes so I'm not too stressed, but there's a chance this vote could end in a tie and we all know Anne Maria wants Jasmine out.
Gwen was heading into the Green Room.
Gwen: Surprised I didn't get nominated, but anything can happen and I know if I don't win the Veto and one of them comes down, I'm the only replacement going up. I have to stay in this game for the Wolf Pack.
Who will win the Power Of Veto and will it be used to save Jasmine or Noah from eviction? Find out Wednesday 8/7c on Big Brother!
