23x26 - Episode 26

[bunniefuu]

- Announcer: previously on big brother!

The well hidden cookout was the most powerful

Alliance in the house.

- One, two, three, cookout!

- Announcer: and each member had a clueless partner

To get them further in the game.

- If one of the duos ends up on the block together

The cookout has the numbers to help us stay safe.

- Announcer: tiffany was the head of household.

- I've nominated you, kyland, and you sarah beth.

- Announcer: but after her personal pawn won

The powerful coin of destiny.

- We have a percent chance right now

Of becoming the new hoh.

- Anonymously.

- A fateful flip made claire the new secret hoh.

- I've been dethroned.

- And claire decided to keep tiffany's nominees in place.

- I want one of kyland, sarah beth,

Or even xavier to leave this week.

- Oh, I got it!

- Announcer: after hannah won the veto...

- Hannah, congratulations, you won the golden power of veto!

- Announcer: she saved xavier, who was a special third nominee.

- I have decided to use the power of veto on xavier.

- Leaving kyland and his non-cookout bestie on the block.

- It is never great to sit on the block on eviction night

But I do believe this is the best plan for the six.

- Announcer: planning for the end game xavier,

Ky, and big d formed a trinity.

- One thing I'm really not trying to do is have

Either of your names in my mouth.

- I agree with that.

- The three guys looking out for each other makes sense to me.

- Announcer: but kyland was also trying to lock in tiff

For a final two deal.

- Yes, yes, yes.

- Announcer: yet tiffany had other plans.

- Ky wants to take me and michael too.

I want to for sure take chaddha.

- Announcer: at the live eviction...

Julie: by a vote of -, sarah beth,

You are evicted from the big brother house.

- Announcer: the cookout sends another

Unsuspecting sucker to the jury.

♪♪♪

- With the head of household back up for grabs

Under the big top, claire knew she couldn't win.

- Julie: to keep this week's secret hoh a secret,

He or she must throw this competition.

- Announcer: but everyone else was holding on for dear life.

Tonight, who will be the ringmaster

Of the circus for power?

And who will be nominated for eviction?

- Plus, the cookout has made it to the final eight,

But will they finish their mission

Before they turn on each other?

- I'm worried about her.

She will take that shot at us and take us out.

- Oh, this week's fully bringing out my savage side.

- Announcer: find out right now on big brother!

- Oh, my god, it's burning! Oh, my god! Crap.

Give me a fire extinguisher.

♪♪♪

- Julie: you should all know that the first three

House guests to fall will be have nots for the week.

'Night, houseguests. - Goodnight, julie.

- Goodnight, julie. - Goodnight, julie.

[Tense music]

Hey bubbles.

- Oh, they got bubbles out of his booty.

- Bye, bubbles.

- That's cute. - Oh!

- I am the outgoing secret hoh and it was perfect.

I got the target out, sarah beth, but because I won

The coin of destiny last week and I was the secret hoh,

I can't be the hoh again, so I have to throw this comp.

- I'm watching you bubbles.

- Uh oh. I'm twirling.

- It was extremely tough to see my friend sarah beth leave.

I understand it was in the service of the mission

Of the six, but it doesn't make it less difficult.

As long as we can carry out the next steps in our plan

And move the six forward, it helps make my own sacrifices

All a little bit more worth it.

[Laughing]

- I finally got sarah beth out of this house.

What a sweet, sweet revenge.

Great week for the cookout, and better week for me.

I always get what I want.

- You got it, big d. - You got it, big d.

- You got it, you're good.

[Buzzer]

- That's okay, big d.

- Good work, big d.

- Good job, big d.

- Good job, dear.

- Bye bubbles.

[Elephant trumpeting]

- Ow! Damn!

- We're really swinging.

- Come out with it, bubbles.

- I really want to win this hoh because I want to

Propel the six forward, put us in the best

Position to get us to the final six.

It's really honestly not about the power.

This would mean a lot for me.

- Swing a little bit faster.

- I am definitely going to puke, guys.

- You are going to puke? - Yeah.

I really want to win this hoh competition

But every single time I am hitting this elephant

I am getting dizzier and dizzier and spinning faster and faster.

I am honestly not even sure how much longer I can hold on.

- Stay strong.

Stay strong.

[Buzzer]

- Alyssa, you have been eliminated,

That means you will be a have-not this week.

- I am very embarrassed with my performance.

I don't know what happened.

The dizziness just really got to me.

Now that I am out of the running for head of household

I am just hoping, hoping, hoping that xavier can win this.

That way we can be safe.

I just really, really hope xavier wins.

- Good job, lyss.

- Alyssa is out second.

I definitely thought alyssa was gonna be the one to beat.

This is exactly what we needed.

Now there is no chance of alyssa winning this competition.

[Laughing]

- Oh my.

- Oh, no.

- This competition is definitely not fun.

There are these three weirdly dressed circus people

Who are just bored and feel like spraying everybody with water.

- After living through frenchie's fun house, aka,

Frenchie's hoh reign, I've already survived the circus,

I don't need to survive anymore while I am in this house.

[Thump]

- You got this, azah, stay strong, baby.

Stay strong. - Oh.

- Oh, this is gonna be a big one. Oof.

- Damn, mr. Elephant.

- A couple of people have already dropped,

So now it is a pretty good time to throw this thing.

Good luck, everyone. Have fun up here.

[Buzzer] - oh, claire, are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm good.

- Claire, you have been eliminated.

That means you will be a have-not this week.

- Stay with it, guys.

- It is now down to just cookout members which is great

Because we already have agreed upon a plan

For how we are going proceed this week.

- So, if you won, would it make more sense

For your target to be alyssa?

- I would put them both up at the same time.

- Tiffany and xavier are the last two people

In the cookout with their plus one still in the game.

We still need get out alyssa and claire in order to get

All of us members in the cookout in the final six.

- As long as alyssa is up there then none of us

Should be throwing anything.

- I would love to get a third hoh win, plus I have pretty

Legitimate reasons to go after both claire and alyssa,

So if I sent either of them home,

It wouldn't raise flags for anyone.

- I don't know about me winning next week.

- No, you, mm-mm. Mm-mm.

- If it's me, and them two.

I'mma have to win it.

- Absolutely.

- The cookout really wants claire gone this week, however,

I am good for alyssa to go this week because alyssa

Is a tough competitor to beat and if she wins, when we still

Have seven people left, she can send home one of

The members of the cookout, and I don't want that to be me.

So the cookout wants claire, I want alyssa, hey,

We will see what happens.

- Come on, x.

- Whoa, whoa!

- Here I am, there are only two options

To send home this week, alyssa and claire.

Why would I want to be the one to take that shot against them

When there are plenty of other people who can do it for me?

- You're good, hannah. - I am a-ok with losing.

[Thumping] - oh, good job, hannah.

- Oh sh**t, whoa.

- Good job, hannah.

- That's okay.

- Come on, tiff. Come on, ky. Come on, az. Come on, x.

- It is now down to myself, kyland,

Tiffany and azah. Azah and kyland

Are in the best position to take a shot at claire

So, yet again I will be throwing another competition.

Peace out, bb circus.

- Oh, that's okay, x.

Nice job, though.

[Elephant trumpeting]

♪♪♪

[Thud]

I start to notice that my toes start slipping

And it is getting harder and harder and harder.

- Wait for it, azah. Hold on.

- I am doing everything I can to scramble my feet back

On this disk but it is slowly slipping away.

I don't know how much time I have.

- Use those arms, baby, come on.

- It's all right, azah.

- I am disappointed, at the end of the day.

I did my best. - k*lled it, azah.

- You did really well, az.

- Good job, baby.

- You k*lled it, azah. - Thank you.

- But I just want to see my parents and I'm not going

To be able to, so that's why I am sad.

- Are you okay, azah?

- Yeah. I am just really nauseous.

- I want tiff to win this.

Kyland could be coming for revenge for sarah beth

In which case he would go after tiff and myself.

Come on, tiff, pull this out.

I know you can do it.

Dig deep.

- So at this point, it's down to me and tiff,

And we all know that the plan is for tiff to not win this week

So we can go after claire.

I look at tiff.

She is still rock steady and I just don't know what is up.

- What are you thinking, tiff?

- I could stay up here.

- Tiff, just drop.

♪♪♪

[Thudding]

- So now it's down to me and tiff

And the last one standing is the next hoh.

Tiff is supposed to be throwing this one

So we can target claire this week,

But it seems like her plans have changed.

I don't know what is happening right now.

- What is going on here, guys?

Okay, we all definitely agreed on this, on who would drop.

Tiffany was definitely supposed to drop.

We've all put our individual game aside time and time again.

If we are at the point of making sure all of us get to six,

Then we all need to work together and do our own part.

♪♪♪

- Looking good, guys, keep it up.

I thought we already had a plan but tiffany is still up there

Spinning around, and around, and around,

And around, and around, and around.

And I am confused on why we are still sitting here.

[Thump]

- Keep it going, ky.

- I don't know what tiffany's doing at this point but it is

Raising some red flags and it's definitely kind of making me

Question where her true loyalty lies, whether it's to

The cookout or whether her loyalty's

Always been solely to herself.

♪♪♪

- Tiff looks so solid.

- Yeah. - She like hasn't moved.

- Yeah.

- Solid tiff, good job. Good job, ky.

- I know you want me to drop, ky.

I know you want to rack up as many wins as you can

For your resume, but we don't always get

What we want now, do we?

- Are you guys able to give us a minute?

- Kyland wants to make a deal.

Hey, I haven't touched the block

And I am not touching the block if I don't have to.

Sit on the block when I could be hoh? Block, hoh. Block, hoh.

Ha, I wanna be hoh, I will be here for a minute, ky,

You keep swinging and I will keep holding.

- Come on, ky. - What's that?

♪♪♪

- I just threw up lunch, I'm good now.

- You what? - I threw up lunch!

- Nice. - I am great now.

- Tiff does not look like she is getting ready

To throw this and I am just like, why not?

The challenge with tiffany winning this week

Is she could be put in a situation where she has to

Put up claire and that would be really bad for her.

- Tiff, what is going on?

- I want to win.

I wouldn't be up here.

[Thud]

[Buzzer]

- Ah.

[Applause]

- Good job.

Nice job, tiff, two weeks in a row.

- Hey, baby! - Good job, tiffany.

[Laughing]

- Hey, I did it again, y'all.

I am so freaking excited. Have you ever seen it twice in a row?

- Sorry.

- Not really.

- Don't give me no chances.

You give me a chance and I will take it.

I take it.

- Congratulations, tiffany, you are now

The new head of household.

[Applause]

- Thank you.

Congratulations, baby.

- Spinny toes.

- We all went into this hoh competition

With a specific set plan in mind, agreed upon by everyone,

And it kind of feels like she went rogue and since it

Was down to me and her, I just don't understand why.

[Tense music]

- That wasn't very-- - let me grab a towel.

- The cookout is working to accomplish a goal,

But there can only be one winner.

I am trying to build my resume.

I have got one wildcard, now I have a back-to-back hoh

And I have absolutely no intention

Of sitting on the block.

All of this allows me to have a nice full resume

To help ensure I am the winner.

Of that grand, baby.

- Here you go, kyland. - Appreciate it.

- I am irritated.

Tiffany as hoh this week kinda creates unnecessary risk.

In order for the six to move to the end of this game,

There are very few options for who can go home this week.

- I just don't understand why she would make

That sort of selfish and risky decision.

- Mm...

It is kind of awkward.

I am happy that I am safe this week but claire

Was the agreed upon target.

Now that tiffany is hoh, is she going to go home?

Probably not.

We are supposed to be putting our personal game aside but...

♪♪♪

- I can't do the slop again.

I am just so over it, dude.

It is not even fun anymore.

I can't do the fakeness, and the talks, and the one on ones.

It is just so fake, it is not real life.

Not being hoh yet again, definitely sucks,

Being a have-not for the third time, that definitely sucks.

Tiffany winning is also very scary because

I definitely know I am not one of her closest allies.

I do not want her going after x or myself.

- Every week, we have to worry and every week

I am just stressed and eating slop.

- You can't let this game beat you.

- I am just so over it.

- Try to go to work again.

- I am pissed because people decided to play selfishly.

It was important that tiffany not win this hoh

Because the target for this week was supposed to be claire,

But tiffany can target alyssa, and who is alyssa's person?

This guy, which means who is likely to see

The block again for the third week in a row?

This guy? And how does he feel about that? Freaking livid!

- Maybe we'll go out on a double.

And we'll just go to the jury together.

- We're gonna party so hard if we go out at the same time.

♪♪♪

- They were pissed. They were pissed.

Alyssa's crying.

X is mad.

Big d's about to [bleep] himself.

They're so mad.

- They're so mad.

Tiff is amazing.

I don't need a man in this house because I have tiff.

Are you kidding me?

I couldn't win this hoh because I was the secret hoh last week.

I am so stoked because I am definitely going to final seven.

I don't think tiff is blindsiding me this week.

This is my best-case scenario. This duo is not going anywhere.

[Giggling]

- He was like, "tiffany, what's up?"

- That's so amazing.

- Oh, they are going to be coming for us

For sure next week.

- Oh, my gosh, claire. - Damn.

♪♪♪

- Hey, miss. How are you doing?

- I am good.

- Just fill me in. That's all I am saying.

You could've dropped five minutes earlier.

- And that's fine. All you do is say that.

Like I have already showed you, I am always with you.

I kept saying, "what's up? What's up?" And yet...

- I didn't hear you say any of that.

That's why I kept asking, "what's going on?

What's going on?"

Tiffany winning does impact how I view her.

To win you know, two hohs back-to-back,

The way that it happened and the time that it happened

Makes it hard to trust that she is the team player

That I need her to be.

Now you have got a mental and a physical comp that you've won.

- That's a big deal.

♪♪♪

- They are all mad.

They are all sad and mopey.

I mean, somebody had to win.

Would they have felt better if kyland would have won?

But guess what? I want claire to stay.

And I came up with a master plan and therefore I should be able

To keep my person, so if it all goes to plan and alyssa doesn't

Win the power of veto, claire will be here one more week.

That would be terrible for claire to go home on my hoh.

Not going to let that happen. And guess what?

♪♪♪

Okay. I gotta go. I am sorry. Bye.

- I cannot do this anymore.

I am so over her now.

- My confidence has been shattered

And I'm a have-not, plus I went out first.

I am so tired of feeling like I am the weakest person

In this game. I don't want to do this anymore. I don't.

- I'mma need you to stop having a tantrum.

This is why I am calling it a tantrum, listen to me,

Listen to me.

Look at me, please. Look at me, please. You came in here.

- I get that, azah. I get that.

I am respecting that.

I understand what you are saying but I feel hopeless where...

When I go into these comps I can try my hardest

And I feel literally hopeless.

Right now me being a big guy,

These physical comps are not for me.

It feels like I am the fat kid in gym class

And everyone else is running laps around me.

I know my dad has had plenty of boxing matches that--

He got knocked down constantly but still got up

And kept on swinging and I am trying my best to be

That frazier and keep on swinging but it is just hard.

I know you are helping me and I love you

And appreciate you for that.

Right now I am just so upset and I am so over

Just feeling like at the bottom of the barrel.

♪♪♪

- Originally the plan was to target claire this week,

So now with tiffany being the hoh,

Obviously claire can't be the target.

The fact that our plan has had to change,

This isn't the worst thing for my game.

I mean, let there be tension, let them take out each other

So that no one is looking at me.

Up 'til now I have been playing this game for the cookout

But at the end of the day this is an individual game.

♪♪♪

- I am not here. I am on vacation.

- What is up? - He said he guess.

I said this is going to be a tricky week because now...

That does piss me off.

- Not mad, just...

What am I continuing to throw competitions for?

Is he sleeping? I don't get how he can do that.

- On site.

- Seems like every time they have the chance

To put themselves first, jump at it.

- I didn't let myself get upset this time.

I was upset last time.

- Nah, you were good. - But I'm not upset this time.

- Constantly in this game I have had to put my personal game

Aside for what is best for the cookout, and I feel that

Some other people in my alliance struggle to do that.

I really don't want any fissures to happen again in our alliance,

But I am exasperated, I'm frustrated but all I can do

Is trust the process and hope for the best.

- Like now it's very possible I could see the block

For the third week in a row.

- Yeah.

- It does infuriate me.

- Both tiffany and kyland have shown that when it comes

To winning competitions they will put their own

Self interest above that of the cookout.

And at some point, I'm about to say "screw it"

Because this is a family show.

- I keep being the one getting shafted.

And I'm getting pretty sick of it.

- Yeah, I understand.

[Snoring]

♪♪♪

- Okay. How are you feeling? - Okay.

My head hurt a little bit but I'm ok.

- Your head hurt?

- I think it's just like adrenaline.

I understand that.

- I know you might be annoyed, xavier,

That I'm hoh for the second week in a row

And you are about to lose alyssa, however I am hoh.

I am really not that sorry.

- I have been kind.

I have taken any of my competitive spirit and kind of

Put it in the cage for the benefit of the cookout,

But if I win the veto and I use it on alyssa,

Then what are you going to do, tiffany?

You shouldn't have won hoh and now you have given me

Reason to ruin your game.

- All right.

Thank you for talking to me.

♪♪♪

- Who wants to see my hoh room?

- Yeah...

- Are you already up here?

- Do, do, do.

- Tiffany won hoh back-to-back. I can't wait. I am so excited.

To be honest, I could give two [bleep].

I don't want to see no more pictures and I damned sure

Don't care what music she got this week

Because it is not beyonceé.

She was selfish and didn't think about the cookout

And took that win for herself.

So, I am going to do what I do best.

I am going to smile with these pretty white teeth,

Laugh and act like I care when I really don't give a damn.

Ha, ha, ha. - Yay!

- Oh, my god!

- Aww!

- Tiger and puma.

- Oh, is that puma?

Ah! Those are my babies!

That's pumy and that's tygy! - They're so pretty.

- I am happy for tiffany, you know, to get the hoh and get

All the perks that come with it but at the same time, come on,

Tiff, this is supposed to be big d or azah's moment.

I don't know. I can't help but, you know, feel some type of way

For the people that never experienced it.

- I have nothing to say. They gave her a bucket hat.

- I am already leaving because I already know how this goes.

- Okay, okay. Bye, big d. Bye, x.

Thank you.

- I played this game unselfishly for eight weeks.

- You know, I have too, and I get it, so...

- For me it was that everything we just went up there and did,

It should have been his or azah's.

- They talking about me.

They talking about me. Big d, what did you say? Uh-uh!

You know what I am saying?

- I am worried about her trying to pull

A fast one because tiff's that type of person.

She will take that shot at us and take us out

And that is what is making me so frustrated.

- Oh, this week fully is bringing out my savage side.

I am not worried about that.

- Better be nice to hoh, up there. Might go on the block.

- Big d was like, "I know how this goes."

[Laughter]

For tiffany, for tippy toes.

No one else can be on that check but me.

I want claire to have in mind that if she should win

Next week I need her to go after the guys.

I am hoping if claire does win hoh, she can do what is best

For tiffany because that's my girl.

- I believe that.

- Yeah.

♪♪♪

- How are you feeling?

- I am feeling bittersweet, really,

Because it's like I wanted to win

But I don't like the position, but it is what it is.

I am weighing my options right now, I do want to be straight

Forward with you and let you know I am considering you and x.

At this point, it is just a game.

- No, % - okay.

- I do have a few pitches, if you don't mind.

- Sure. I am all for the pitch.

- I know tiffany probably wants to take a shot at me and xavier

Because we are a strong duo, but tiffany has a lot of friends

In the jury house, and sadly, all my friends that would

Maybe vote for me in the end are all pre-jury.

So, it doesn't make sense for tiffany's game

To go after little old alyssa.

- Can you open the memory wall real quick?

- Yeah.

- When you look at jury votes, if it's you at the end

Next to anyone, you have guaranteed dx's vote,

Hannah's vote, and claire's vote.

So let's just say you guarantee have those three votes.

If you sit next to azah she has guaranteed two votes

From the jokers.

If you sit next to big d, he has a guaranteed two votes.

And ky has been saying he would vote for big d.

- Now it's a three-three.

If you sit next to kyland, he has guaranteed sb's vote,

He possibly has big d's vote.

You sit next to claire or hannah,

You are now taking away

One of those three votes that you had guaranteed

If you sit next to anyone else but hannah or claire,

Because if you think about it, if hannah, claire, and dx

Are in the jury, you have those three votes.

If you sit next to hannah and claire you now only

Have possibly guaranteed two votes.

If you sit next to x,

He has guaranteed sb's vote,

He has my vote, and with his competition skills

He could get a few more votes.

Now you sit next to little old alyssa...

You have guaranteed hannah's vote, guaranteed claire's vote,

Guaranteed dx's vote, guaranteed sb's vote.

You only need five votes to win this game.

You already have four sitting next to me,

And all you need is a five.

This week I was saying I wanted to go after kyland, so I wasn't

Targeting you and I do believe that he was going after you.

- I hate to say it but alyssa's math actually adds up,

If I sat next to alyssa in the final two,

Based off of who's in the jury, I'd probably win by a landslide.

I did come here to win and if sitting next to alyssa

Guarantees me a win,

I don't know how to deny this offer.

I was hoping maybe my pitch would do something,

But clearly that is not the case.

I am kind of over the fakeness part of this game

As far as buddying up with hoh and the fake smiles

And the fake laughs and all of that,

I really don't care at this point.

I just need to really focus and plan on winning

The veto no matter what happens.

Third week in a row on the block.

And I'm on the block because tiffany

Selfishly decided to win hoh.

If I win the veto I will then get to decide whether

Or not I want to play friendly or completely ruin

Tiffany's game and I pull alyssa down instead of myself,

But I am really getting sick of playing nice.

I kind of want to be mean for a little bit.
