24x32 - Episode 32

[bunniefuu]

-Previously on "Big Brother"...

Head of Household Monte wanted either Britt or Alyssa gone.

-I've nominated you, Brittany, and you, Alyssa.

-But Taylor saw a bigger threat in the house.

-I'm actually really happy

that Monte put up Brittany and Alyssa.

This gives me an opportunity to win the Veto

and force Turner to go up on the block.

So I want to make sure I'm the one that takes that shot.

-At the Power of Veto competition,

Brittany cleaned the clocks of the other HouseGuests...

-This makes it so that I am in Final

and closer and closer to those Final chairs.

-..forcing Monte to choose between his two allies.

-My goal is still to keep Taylor and Turner.

But if I put Turner on the block,

Brittany and Taylor are going to vote him out.

Just doesn't make any sense for me to go into the week

with Taylor, Brittany, and Alyssa.

I have no doubt that they would want to take a shot at me,

especially since I can't play in that HOH.

-At the Veto meeting...

-I have decided to use the Power of Veto on myself.

-...Monte kept the only other guy in the house

out of harm's way.

-I will new name a new HouseGuest

as a replacement nominee.

Taylor.

-Although Brittany and Taylor had been closely aligned...

-As long as you've got me.

-Taylor, I got you.

-...Taylor was spending more time with the other HouseGuests.

-So cozy. -Oh, my God. I know, right?

-If I'm your priority, Taylor,

I mean, you could put in a little face time with me.

-And she got especially close to Monte.

-It's the slow burn you wanted, America.

[ Chuckles ] Sorry, Joseph.

-Feeling left out, Brittany no longer wanted to save Taylor.

-My vote does not count this week.

As long as Turner votes to keep Taylor,

Monte will break the tie, and Alyssa will go home.

-Really? -Yep.

-So Alyssa tried to guilt Turner

into giving her the other vote she needed.

-You can have a friend still kick you out of the house.

-No. -What the hell? Yes, you can.

-I don't respect that, really.

Like, I think that me as a game player,

me as someone voting in jury --

-Not only friendship,

but also a jury vote if I don't vote to keep her?

This actually makes me kind of want to vote her out.

-At the live eviction...

-I sadly vote to evict Taylor.

-I vote to evict Alyssa.

-...a split vote forced Monte to break a tie...

-Alyssa, I'm sorry, but I vote to evict you.

-That is okay.

-...sending the Florida girl to join the jury.

♪♪

With a guaranteed spot in finale night on the line...

-We have a tie between Taylor and Brittany.

-...Taylor took the crown.

-Congratulations, Taylor.

You are the new Head of Household,

and you have secured your spot on finale night.

-Tonight, the Final go to w*r in an action-packed hour.

Who will Taylor nominate for eviction?

Plus, the final and most important Veto competition

of the summer plays out.

All this right now on "Big Brother."

-Soak in what?

-The heat of the bear.

♪♪

-Good night, HouseGuests.

-Good night. -Good night.

♪♪

-Whew.

Looks like an HOH Final , baby!

Oh, my God. On the block,

somebody flipped their vote on me.

They thought they had me.

But then I walked into a fashion comp.

[ Laughs ] Oh, my God. I feel so good.

I'm just really happy that I secured HOH and my own safety,

and it's guaranteed that I'll be in Final .

And a cute guy handed me the keys.

-Well, we can officially say

that the only people left in the house are Leftovers.

-Oh, my God. Finally. -Yep.

-I feel great. Alyssa's out of the door,

which is somebody who would have had a lot of respect in jury

and a lot of votes potentially.

Taylor and I have been pretty close this whole game

and have gotten a lot closer as of recently,

so I'm pretty happy for her winning this HOH.

Oh. All this food for only four of us.

-I don't know.

Oh, my God. I am so -- I can't even --

I don't even know where to begin with this.

I'm expecting a - right for Taylor to stay.

But of course, Brittany has to pull something slimy.

Obviously, that plan did not work for Brittany.

So, Brittany can't be trusted ever.

Definitely going to try to pin that on me.

I just need to do whatever I can to make Brittany Taylor's target

so that I can ensure that the Final in this house

is myself, Monte, and Taylor.

-I'm sorry. I was sad for the first half of this week.

I will hang more.

I will hang more.

I needed to win this one, and I was so close.

I'm the only person left in this house who has not won HOH.

Plus, my plan to get Taylor out did not go quite as planned.

I voted for Taylor

because I felt the distance last week with Taylor.

This did not work out very well for me today.

Today was a big "L" for Brittany.

And it all happened so fast.

-Yeah, that was -- -So fast.

♪♪

-Alyssa and I were best friends throughout this entire game.

But ultimately, I decided to vote Alyssa out

just because I didn't want to risk my relationship with Monte

as the HOH and force him to break a tie.

Yeah.

Before the live eviction,

Brittany pulled me into the storage room,

and we just had the funkiest conversation.

What up, brother? -Does she know that she's going?

-I am very, very adamant about not telling her.

-I've told her that I'm undecided,

but I feel like she -- she knows.

I've been working with Taylor since day one.

Strategically, I think it makes most sense for my game

if Taylor were to leave this week.

And the only way that that can happen is if we get two votes.

So I'm trying to get Turner

to consider giving Alyssa a sympathy vote,

and then I vote to evict Taylor, and Taylor will be blindsided.

-If I don't vote to keep her, I'm losing a jury vote ,%.

-She'll hate you.

-No, she told me that we aren't friends if I don't vote for her.

-I mean, why can't Monte just break the tie?

-That's a good question.

Um, maybe that would be better.

But I'll definitely think about a sympathy vote.

She pulled me into the storage room,

and then she goes, "I think it might be better

if you give Alyssa a sympathy vote."

I'm over Brittany slithering around and hissing

like she does, creating lies, manipulating, scheming.

Done. Don't like her. Brittany needs to go out this week.

Oh, my God. Toy tester, my a*s.

You are something else.

-Yeah. That's --

Oh, yeah. The thing is...

We're fine.

I need to make sure Taylor feels good

with Turner and myself, because I don't think

Brittany's taking me to Final , let alone even Final .

That's the thing.

♪♪

-Come hug me.

I won something. Give me a hug.

Oh.

Don't let me step on you.

You wonder so many times, "Am I smart enough for this?

Am I capable enough for this?" Oh, my God.

Whatever.

It's just -- -Yeah. Yeah. Whatever.

-'Cause he was telling me that he was going to vote her out,

but then she kept on coming to me and like pleading, begging,

like, "He says he's going to. He says he's going to.

Please, Brittany, please, please."

That's why it was so hard this morning.

I just had to tell her. I was like, "I'm not. I'm not."

I felt the distance last week with Taylor,

and now I'm feeling the distance again.

So I'm telling Taylor that I didn't vote for her,

but, uh, you all saw. It was me.

[ Sighs ] I feel bad.

But I thought Alyssa would be easier to beat at comps.

I love Taylor to death. She's one of my best friends.

I know one day she'll understand.

But it just made sense given the cards I was dealt.

She understood it for me.

-Yeah. 'Cause it's a good jury.

-It's good jury management. 'Cause the jury's like pbht, so.

-No, I know. I know. I know. I'm not mad.

I'm not mad, because at this point, it's just about winning.

-I have to win.

-Yep.

I know that before the vote, Turner told me

that Brittany wanted to flip the vote against me.

I don't know who to believe at this point.

I think Turner's reaction was incredibly staged

during the live eviction.

I also felt some distance from Brittany,

and it wouldn't be entirely unthinkable

for her to try to flip a vote against me.

So I'm just glad that I secured my own safety,

and all I have to do now is just beat them to get to the end.

-Got your back. -I know. Thank you.

♪♪

-Oh, my God.

-Got that HOH.

♪♪

-[ Chuckles ]

-Don't get too excited, now. -Nope.

-Or, you know, actually -- -I don't know, maybe, maybe.

-Yeah. Yeah. Actually, yes. -[ Laughs ]

How you feeling?

-A split vote. [ Chuckles ]

♪♪

-When I saw people's reactions

after they left the voting booth,

I think it was very obvious.

Brittany sat down,

wouldn't look at anybody, had her head down, just --

I don't know if you saw it. -Mm-hmm.

-But I'm just like, it was so obvious

that she did it that I was like --

-There it is. -Oh, I thought

it was gonna be -, and I couldn't even look at Alyssa.

I literally was like, "Oh, my God. It's going to be -.

Alyssa's going to be pissed," and then it was like,

oh, my God. -Mm-hmm.

-I am praying right now that Taylor actually believes

it was not me who flipped this vote,

and it really was Brittany.

Throughout the game, Brittany and Taylor have been very close,

but this cannot be the reason I become a target.

-I think she was willing to risk it

because that gets rid of a competitor for this HOH.

-'Cause she would have won that HOH.

-She would have won it if you weren't there.

-Mm-hmm. -[ Laughs ]

She probably thinks that we're too stupid

to put and together.

-I don't know who's telling me the truth.

But every decision I make from here on is worth $,.

I really need to learn more about,

you know, "Big Brother" history,

but I do think that me and Azah, Monica, and Danielle Reyes

might be the only Black women to make Final .

And then I think of Danielle Reyes, she was Final .

It's not about the money.

I can be a person who rectifies a gap

that has happened in the game

where Black women have been belittled

and evicted way too soon.

It is such a rare instance

that a Black woman makes it this far.

And I plan to leave the house the night of finale

with the $, check,

with the game-changing move of being the first Black woman

to win a regular season of "Big Brother."

-Man, oh, man.

-Wow. -Destiny. Fate.

-Mm, if you will.

And that's pretty awesome.

-Ah. Let's go.

[ Laughs ]

Ah. Wow.

I'm so happy I'm HOH

and I've secured my seat in the Final .

I still have a big decision to make with my nominations.

But this week is all about the Veto,

because whoever wins gets to decide

who will cast the sole vote to evict this week,

and that determines who's going to finale night with me.

-Just got to watch out for Turner.

There was the chance he wouldn't throw her

a sympathy vote, right?

'Cause I think that's what Alyssa was saying nonstop.

-Both of you have told me that

the vote was with me. -The vote was with you? Okay.

-So somebody's lying.

♪♪

-He's only ever lied to me.

Plus, you guys haven't necessarily

had the best relationship of --

-Yeah. Hasn't been a bad relationship.

-Have you thought about what you're going to...

-Yeah. -...do?

-Yeah. And I don't think you're going to like it.

I know. -Okay, so, if you won Veto,

you'd take me down. -Yeah.

-If I won Veto, of course I'd take myself down.

Would Monte want you, me, Monte, Final ?

♪♪

-I have a strong relationship with Monte.

-Yeah. -I can make a deal with him

where I say, "You don't touch the block.

You have to do what I want."

-That he would keep me? -Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

-Taylor's telling me

that I might potentially be on the block here

and, if Monte's the deciding vote and I still find myself

on the block, that he'll vote to keep me.

And I just really don't think that her read is accurate here.

I'm hoping she doesn't put me on the block,

but I get it 'cause I did backstab her,

even though she doesn't know that.

[ Laughs, groans ]

You know I want a woman to win this thing.

Turner winning Veto would be the worst-case scenario.

Yeah, he would bring Monte.

♪♪

-Welcome. -Oh, my God.

[ Laughs ]

-These are so ridiculous.

Let's go. -Yeah.

-Okay.

Well, I have some decisions to make.

Just comes down to Veto

and who I would prefer to have making the decision.

-Decision.

-I'm thinking Turner and Brittany go up.

♪♪

Both of you are telling me that you didn't switch your vote

when you told me that you would both vote for Alyssa.

Someone's lying. Good luck.

-That's exactly what I was thinking

would be the justification.

-Brittany wins Veto,

she's keeping you, period.

-You think so? -Yeah.

-I think she prefers to sit next to Turner over me.

-Why? -I just --

I see the writing on the wall with her.

If Brittany wins the Veto,

I don't think that I'm safe at all.

She's been playing really messy,

and I don't believe a damn thing

that comes out of Brittany's mouth.

Taylor's telling me that Brittany wants Turner out,

but the only way to ensure that I'm in the Final

is to win that Veto myself.

-I would prefer if Turner goes out on my HOH,

that's one more thing on my résumé.

I would have -- wish you would have told me, but --

Thoughts?

♪♪

-I don't really think there's anything to say.

-Like, I think it's clear.

Like, okay, I get it, game-wise.

I just didn't like that you used my friendship with Alyssa

as a pitch to do a sympathy vote to get out your friend Taylor.

If I followed through, that goal just seems slimy.

I don't know. It's just not respectable,

you trying to get me to vote out my friend

using our friendship as the pitch

so you could then beat Alyssa if she stays

but then vote to kick out your friend.

-Do you know what's really slimy?

Backstabbing your -- one of your closest friends in the game

by not voting for them.

Like, you told Alyssa %

like, "I got you, I got you, I got you," and you didn't.

And you've done that to like all your friends in the game --

Pooch, Michael, Kyle, now Alyssa.

Like, that's actually pretty slimy.

And if I give him anything of substance,

that's just going to make it easier

for them to believe him over me.

So I try to keep as silent as possible.

-Just don't see like --

And now you're gonna -- obviously gonna blame it on me.

Thoughts?

-Thanks for your comments.

-Yeah, definitely.

Thank you, Brittany. Very respectable.

I cannot, I literally cannot with Brittany. Oh, my God.

She is the most manipulative person I've ever met in my life.

She cannot be trusted.

Just no allegiance, no loyalty to anything, anyone, ever.

So I just need to do whatever I can

to put Brittany on Taylor's target list

and then g*n for the Veto.

-Yep. -Yep.

-Sorry, I'm so pissed right now. Okay. Sorry. Alright.

I go to the bathroom. Brittany's hiding out.

I'm like, "Do you want to talk about the vote?"

She goes, "No." I'm like, "Okay.

Well, just so I can talk for a second,

I know you definitely just went and pitched that it was me

And it's not respectable what you did.

It's disgusting. It's slimy.

You're just a snake right now."

I'm like "Okay."

Oh, my God. Sorry. I'm just pissed off.

-I know. -Damn.

Just voting out Alyssa like that just sucks.

-I get it, bro. -Oh.

Sorry I've been dropping this on all of you.

-No, you're fine. Where else do we have to be?

Obviously, I did not want Alyssa to go at my expense.

-Yeah, yeah. -Like, we did what we did

to get to the end together. But, like, this friend --

I just hate that she used my vote

against Alyssa against me as a friendship move.

Like, oh, my God. That's just so disgusting, so...

-Turner is super emotional.

And honestly, it makes me feel really empathetic for the guy.

But I'm also paranoid,

and I'm wondering if it's kind of an act.

-Ah, alright. I've calmed down. I will be back, but --

-It's all good, bro. No, you had to get that off your chest.

-And this is the place where you should have done it,

so I'm glad you came up.

-Sick. Alright. [ Laughs ] -Later.

[ Door shuts ]

-In my core, I have shady feelings

about both Turner and Brittany separately.

I'm trying to be in a Final with Brittany and Monte,

So my main focus this week is making sure

Turner does not win that Power of Veto.

-Brittany's trying to make it seem like I voted out Taylor,

not seeing my face on the memory wall.

But at the same time, my biggest fear right now

is that Brittany wins the Veto.

Brittany's so damn unpredictable that I have no idea

what she would do if she were to win.

-I know that my, you know, decision to flip the vote

gave her a reason to put me and Turner up.

I need to convince Taylor

that, you know, I did vote to keep her

and that Turner was the one that flipped.

-I know. I know.

Look, I might never know who's actually telling me the truth

about who voted to keep me and who voted to evict me.

But for my game, it's best if I keep Brittany,

-Welcome, fellow mathletes, to Math Fest.

Here's a simple equation for you.

What does one HouseGuest

plus the final Golden Power of Veto equal?

A guaranteed ticket to finale night.

That means this all adds up to a must-win competition.

Here's how it works.

On go, uncover one of the panels on the wall,

revealing a photo of an event from this season.

Grab numbers from the calculator and place them under the photo

to answer which day that event occurred.

To win, you must have a correct day number under each photo,

and you must add up all of the days on the wall,

hang your final answer below the line,

then ring in by hitting your button.

If all of your day numbers and total are correct,

your button will light up green,

and you have won the Golden Power of Veto.

But if any day or your total is incorrect,

the button will light up red, and you must keep playing

and try to figure out where you went wrong.

Are you ready to play, mathletes?

-Yes, sir. -Let's get it.

-I can be nerdy. Talk nerdy to me.

-Yeah!

I mean, anyone who watches "Big Brother"

knows that the Final Veto

is just the most crucial one of the entire summer,

because the winner of this Veto

gets to choose who makes to it the Final .

Now, I'm on the block,

so the only way I can guarantee myself a spot

in the Final is to just win this thing.

-Oh, my word.

This is do or die. I'm on the block,

and I want the power to decide who moves onto that Final .

Brittany cannot win this thing, because if she does,

she'll take herself down and be the sole vote to evict.

And I highly doubt she's going to be taking me to Final ,

so I have got to win this.

on the giant chalkboard

-I know what I have wrong.

I've been confusing Ren Fest with Mermaid Fest.

So I quickly change that answer from to .

Now I just have to buzz in and just pray that I'm right.

[ Buzzer ]

I am double-checking my days.

I'm double-checking my math.

I have no clue what is wrong.

I'm so close to winning this thing.

Okay, Brittany, calm down.

You can figure this out. You got this.

Just focus.

-I'm still wrong.

Honestly, I'm not feeling too good

about when the Snooze Fest took place,

and that's probably because I was half asleep at the time.

Originally, I thought that it was late at night on Day .

But now that I think about it,

it was probably early in the morning on Day .

The last thing I need right now

is for Brittany to win this competition.

I don't know how well she's doing,

but I know she's pretty good at mental comps,

and she could win this at any second.

This is the most important Veto of the summer,

and I'm not letting it slip through my fingers.

-I know these days like the back of my hand.

This is what I've been studying

for almost three months straight.

I know what I've studied.

[ Buzzer ]

Unless what I've been studying is wrong,

these days should be right.

-I've done the math several times,

so I'm pretty sure that this is adding up correctly.

That means that the total's not the issue.

I must have a day wrong.

The only other thing I can possibly think of

is that damn Snooze Fest.

I'm going change it yet again and hopefully win this thing.

-Whoo! -Good job.

-Yeah. Let's go, baby.

-Oh, my God. -Alright.

That Golden Power of Veto.

-Oh, my God. -Oh, my God.

-Congratulations! -My boy.

-Congratulations, Monte.

You have won the Golden Power of Veto.

-Let's go.

This competition was a must-win, and I won that thing.

Securing that Veto means that I'm gonna be in the Final ,

and I get to decide who comes with me.

Got the job done.

-So interesting seeing us on "Big Brother."

-Yes, it's weird.

-Monte wins this Veto, and I am so stoked.

Now he has the sole vote to evict this week,

and I am pretty sure he's going to be evicting Brittany.

The only other person in this house

who likes Brittany I think maybe even less than me.

-Wow.

-It sucks to lose the Veto. I really wanted this,

and this was going to be

a strong résumé builder for myself.

But if I'm going to lose to anybody,

I don't mind losing to Monte.

-I could have swear I did that one.

It's just so hard not to beat yourself up,

'cause it matters so much. It's my life dream,

and to be so close --

I mean, my only chance at surviving

is to make Monte see

that it does not benefit his game at all

to cut me at this point in time in the game.

-Whoo. Great job, Monte. -Yeah, let's go, Monte.

-Room . -Thank you, thank you.

-Room .

-Don't -- Do not give up. Do not give up.

-I just don't even know what I could remotely say.

-Leave it to me.

-I literally was one off.

I thought it was Day , and it was Day .

I was just so certain.

It's -- It's whatever. It's --

Whatever happens, happens.

Just -- I'm just so -- I'm so upset with myself.

At the end of the day, Monte holds my fate in his hands.

And honestly, I feel like he would have a better shot

at winning up against me than Turner.

So I'm really hoping that Taylor can get him to see that,

and maybe, just maybe, I can stay.

It was stupid. -Don't beat yourself up.

-I know he's been wanting me out for a while.

I do know this.

He knows Turner's going to bring him to the end.

-Let me talk to him.

It's still my HOH.

-I know, but at this point in the game, I don't think he's --

He's going to make the decision that's best for him.

That's what he did last week.

-Just let me do my work.

Whether or not I actually trust Brittany is beyond the point.

All that matters is that I need her in this game

because if she's Final next to me,

I think I have a really good shot at beating her.

So I'm going to talk to Monte

and try to get her through to Final next week.

Still fighting. We're still fighting.

I can't not believe I said that -- out loud.

But the fact of the matter is, I feel a whole lot better

about a Final with Brittany than I do beating Monte.

So I need to figure out what to say to Monte

to get him to keep her.

I will win the $,,

and then he will take me on a date.

I like it. Oh, oh, I like this.

You know what I would prefer,

but I also know what you trust more,

-I really think my best shot at winning this game

-Whew. Guys, it's not looking good.

[ Chuckles ] I'm just going to try to --

try to think of something that I can pull out of my hat

to make this work.

I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up,

but I am literally in the worst-case scenario right now.

-There only needs to be one vote this week

to kick somebody out of this house.

And if I am putting my life in anyone's hands, it's Monte.

I am praying right now that the stars align

and my dream of watching Brittany walk out

of the "Big Brother" house comes true.

-I'm the only one voting this week.

So it's up to me to decide between Brittany and Turner

who gets to go to Final .

I do feel like it would be easier to beat Brittany

if I were sitting next to her in a Final .

But I'm not that confident that she would take me there.

I have to do what's best for my game,

and this is a huge decision that could impact my path to K.

-The Final will be determined

when Monte evicts either Turner or Brittany from the house.

Plus, the entire Cookout reunites

to give their thoughts on the season.
