#4 of Big Brother: The Trial


Gina and Teresa sit on the couch upset over Michael's eviction. The green fox was no longer in the Trial yet the two ladies who were obviously target were still here. "What do we do?" Gina asks.

"Win," Teresa says, "So we can take out those bastards."

"What kind of comp will it be?"

"Well we've already done endurance so it's either skill or quizzical." Teresa was a bit fired up for the HoH but she was hiding it well. Gina, on the other hand, wasn't sure of which scenario would be best. Or who to put up if they'd won.

"Who should we put up if we win the challenge?" Gina asks.

"Brandon! Bastard got rid of Michael!" Teresa yelled with her teeth gritted.

"Ok. But would we have the votes?"

"Of course. We'd only need two. Me and you. That'd be enough to make him pay."

"Alright. But get off the crazy train and focus. It's two on two in the next challenge. If we lose, they win and one of us is gone."

"Ok. Sorry it's just I'm really pumped up and ready to get this show on the road." Just a minute later, the mailbox went off. Gina runs up to the mailbox and opens it up. It's envelope is green for HoH. She opens it up and reads it to herself.

"Hey guys!! HoH time!! Everyone gets dressed and head to the backyard!!" Gina shouts and runs to the bedroom. The rest of the Houseguests soon follow. They see that somehow, different uniformed shirts were put under their beds. Blue for Brandon, Orange for Jill, White for Will, Black for Gina, and Brown for Teresa.

Once everyone got to the backyard, there's another green envelope with Brandon's name on it. He opens it and turns to his housemates. "It's time for the second Head of Household competition of the season. As outgoing HoH, I will not be competing." In the background, there's a large ramp about ten feet long and a few feet wide. There's a few steps that lead to the top of the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, there's numbers 1-36 scattered randomly in different slots. There's a table at the top of the stairs with four different colored balls.

"Here's how this competition works: each houseguest rolls one ball down the ramp into the numbered slots below. When your ball lands into one, that's your score for that round. The houseguest with the worst score each round is eliminated from the game. Last one standing will be the new Head of Household." Brandon was a bit upset he couldn't play to help his friends. It's two against two.

"Listen," Jill whispered into Will's ear, "we can do this. We're not about to let them go after us."

Gina whispered to Teresa too. "They took out Michael. I know you want this bad but we have to focus."

"Jill, you're up first." Brandon says. Jill walks up the steps to the table and grabs an orange. It's big but it fits perfectly in her paws. She steps up to the red line at the top where the ramps goes downhill. She carefully aims her ball for the 36 slot in the middle. She lets it go and it rolls down. The others, especially Will and Brandon, watched as it rolled down. The orange ball rolled into one of the slots.

"Jill, you scored a 1." Brandon said. Jill pinned her ears down and walk down the stairs. She knows she's gonna be eliminated this round.

Will steps up. He grabs a while ball. Looks like a snowball, he thought as we rolls it down. "Will, you scored 27." Brandon said, but the wolf was more concerned about Jill and her score.

Teresa's turn. She steps up remembering what the other side did for her and Michael. She takes a brown ball and before she even thinks, she tosses it down the ramp. It knocks off the side and it lands in a slot. "Teresa, you got a 19." Brandon announced. Good, the collie thought, enough for me to stay in this.

"Gina, you need a one to stay in the competition." Brandon was nervous. It was almost impossible to get a one out of 36.

Gina walked up and takes a black ball. She took a deep breath, aimed carefully, and let it roll. "Gina, you scored a 26." Brandon then turned to his best friend. "Which means sorry Jill, you've been eliminated from the HoH game."

Jill walked over to the bench at the corner of the yard. Will is their only chance of staying in the Trial. It was then time for round time.

It was Will's turn to go back up. He grabs a second white ball off the table and walks over to the line.

I am their only hope, the shepherd thought, I can do this. He let it roll. When the saw it go into a slot, his heart almost dropped. "Will. You've got a 13." Brandon said. Gina and Teresa raised their ears and got excited. If Will was eliminated, they were going to win and finally be safe.

Teresa stepped back up and then got herself ready. Please get more than thirteen, she thought. When she let it go, she got scared as it was rolling a bit fast. 11. "Teresa, you got eleven." Brandon and Will both get relieved looks as they're safe for another round.

Gina gets scared as she goes up. "Good luck." Teresa whispers into Gina's ears as they pass on the stairs. Gina grabs another ball and gets ready to release it. Should I let Teresa win? Gina thought, probably, she was the one who likes Michael more. Gina threw her ball hard the it knocked into one wall then the other before it landed into a slot. "Gina," Brandon started. Gina and Teresa both stared at him in unison. "you scored a 1."

Teresa's ears perked up and Gina stepped down. She knew she was out. "It's all down to Teresa and Will. Whoever wins this last round will be the new head of household." Both sides were hoping for their own to win HoH.

Will stepped back up, his nerves more active than ever. He grabbed the last white ball and got ready. Last shot, he thought, this is for all the marbles. He let it roll and looked away and put his paws over his eyes.

"Will," Brandon said. Will was scared about what score he got. "You scored," here it comes, "a 21." Will looked back at his housemates. 22 isn't a bad score, but there's a chance it can be beat. Will stepped down and Teresa steps up. She grabs the last brown ball. If she gets a 22 or higher, she'll be the new HoH and she'll have the power this week. Before stalling another second, she lets it roll down the ramp into the slots below.

Brandon sees her score and frowns. "Teresa. You got a 28. Congrats. You're the new HoH."

Teresa covered her eyes out of joy and Gina ran up the steps to congratulate her. Brandon also came up the steps and handed the key over to her. Teresa takes it and wraps it around her neck.

"Great job, buddy." Gina said. Will and Jill both shared worried looks on their faces. They knew that the Triumphant Trio was no more. Brandon knew it was gonna be a tough week ahead as he took out Teresa's best friend.
