25x20 - Episode 20

Post by bunniefuu »

- Previously on "Big Brother"...

Cameron took a shot at the powerful trio

of Izzy, Felicia, and Cirie...

- I have nominated you, Izzy, and you, Felicia.

You've got Cirie, who's the president,

Felicia, the vice president,

and you got Izzy, the secretary of defense.

You don't start at the president.

You chip away until there's nothing left.

- And Cam mistakenly trusted Jared...

- I'm done playing.

I'm done playing games.

Jared is somebody that I think I can trust

and work with down the road.

- Telling him that the Survivor legend

may not survive.

- We're in the middle of step three.

I'll let you know when step four starts.

- I'm already jumping to conclusions.

And I'm almost sure that the rest of his plan

that he's telling me about

is definitely to nominate my mom.

And that cannot happen for me.

- So after Cirie's son won the Veto...

[cheers and applause]

- I did it again, Mama.

Who's the legend now?

- Jared had no choice

but to keep his mom out of harm's way.

- I have decided not to use the Power of Veto.

[tense music]

- It looked like Cirie would use her influence

to keep Izzy...

- I'm really hoping that the house

is leaning towards keeping Izzy.

Sorry, Felicia.

- But America saw an opportunity

to shake up the game.

- Yeah, I don't think it's gonna be Izzy.

- But like, things change, and you know

how much they flip back and forth.

Obviously, Izzy is the better game player.

I don't know why people don't see that.

And she's on the block.

Why are we all so scared to take this shot?

- After America spurred Cameron's awakening...

- Now people are just [...] too.

- Who? - Jared.



You were the target last week.

- Now it makes sense.

Jared works for Cirie.

- She got some info from Matt...

- I feel like we need to stick together.

- Mm-hmm.

I know two other people that played.

- It's Cirie, isn't it? - Yeah. I mean...

- Which flipped Cory against Cirie.

- Do you know Cirie played?

- No, but how do you know?

- She told Matt.

- Oh, wow.

Why the hell is she telling Matt?

Clearly, I'm not her number one, two, three.

Maybe I'm her four.

- So the college kid began spilling the tea...

- I've known about Seven Deadly Sins

for, like, three weeks.

- What? From who?

- Izzy?

- I've known about Seven Deadly Sins

for, like, three weeks.

- And rallying the troops.

- The reality is, Cirie will never vote out Izzy.

- [sighs] - Ever.

- Okay. I believe you.

- If you guys are willing to do it,

then, like, I'm down.

- That would give us six.

I expect a turbulent hours,

and I'm just bracing myself for it.

- With the house officially flipped...

- By a vote of to ,

Izzy, you are evicted from the Big Brother house.

- The woodwind player would not win "Big Brother."



The power was back up for grabs

as the BB Comic-verse sent the houseguests into battle

against a -foot meatball.

- Ah!

- Who will conquer the wall

and become the new Head of Household,

and which houseguests will be targeted for eviction?

Plus, witness the w*r of words that blew the house apart

right before Izzy's departure.

- You're trying to call me a liar,

and I feel like you just exposed yourself right now.

- Dude, I hear all this [...],

and what am I supposed to think?

- All this right now

on "Big Brother"!

- Oh, no, I'll be seeing you soon, pig.

[upbeat music]



[dramatic music]

[mechanical whirring]



- That scared me.

I don't think I could put

a more successful stamp on a week.

I had two goals in mind.

Number one, cause as much chaos as possible.

Number two, get my personal number one target

out of the house, Izzy.



It was magic.

Got some shaking and some teeth-gritting going on.

[tense music]



[mechanical whirring]



- It's me.

I'm still here.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I just survived the block for a second time.

I'd love to be in a position to pick the nominees,

have a little bit of control over who might actually

go out the door this week,

'cause the further in the game you get,

the more you need to win some of these competitions

and really give yourself an advantage in the game.

[rock music]

- You guys look incredible.

It's anybody's game at this point.

- I am so excited to get to play the wall competition.

This is so iconic.

I'm ready to channel my inner Taylor Hale

and get this comp win.



I'm built for this.

I'm pretty petite, so I think I'll be able

to last longer than some of the bigger guys.

[tense music]

- This HOH is critical.

I mean, critical after losing Izzy.

I tried everything in my power to keep Izzy,

but everything just went haywire right before the vote.

[tense music]

- Poor Izzy.

- Yeah, they not even looking at her.

- Mm-hmm.

- You are built with a sixth sense,

and I don't know if mine is super developed

because I do play these games,

but I'm getting a sketchy vibe from Cory and Matt

this morning.



No one's really wanting to talk,

and no one can make eye contact.

Whenever that happens, you know you got problems.

I think Izzy in trouble.



- Yeah.

- Just because of the way people are acting.

Talk to Skeezy and Matt and see what you think.

- But I think she's in trouble.

And if she in trouble, that mean we in trouble.

[sighs]

- Okay.



[dramatic music]



- Although my mom gets really paranoid in this game,

it's time for me to get my boots on the ground

and get to work and figure out

what's going on with this vote.

I do feel as if Matt is the only person

who's gonna give me the closest thing to the truth.

But if I have to twist the truth a little

to get the answer that I need,

I'm definitely willing to do that.

Jag is telling me to keep Mama Felicia.



Yeah, vote out Izzy.

That's what Jag is telling me y'all talked about.

- He wants to keep Mama Felicia?

- Yeah.

Although this is a lie

and I really don't want to have to do this to Matt,

I really need to figure out exactly what's going on.

And I'm not sure that Matt is gonna tell me

the whole and honest truth unless I frame this question

in a certain way.

He told me last night

that y'all were gonna keep Felicia.



- Jag, what are you doing?

This is supposed to be a secret.

I believe that Jared's telling the truth,

that he knows this information.

I'm confused.

Right now, I don't know for sure.

- Yeah.

- But I have a gut feeling it's gonna flip.



I don't want to get caught in a lie,

so I'm dropping a few hints there and there

so he doesn't think I'm being dishonest with him.

- Felicia? - Felicia.

- I think I gotta talk to Cory.

My mom's suspicions definitely checked out.

Now I need to get her and Cory in here

to figure out exactly where this vote

is gonna be moving forward.

We all kind of want to be on the same page.

- Mm-hmm.

- We sticking to our word,

and we're going with keeping Izzy.

- Yeah. - Jag came to you last night

and said that... - Yeah.

- I was voting to keep Felicia? - Yeah.



- I just don't know why Jag

is telling people I'm flipping.

- I didn't count Jag's vote.

I only counted y'all vote. - I know. I know, I know.

- I want to talk to you because, you know,

we gotta be, like, on the same page,

on the same page, because-- - I know.

I agree. - Yeah.

- I was like, can we talk in here?

- None of this is adding up.



- Why?

It makes no sense

that Jag would tell Jared anything.

Jag was in on this blindside,

and the only thing that makes sense is

he was trying to cover his own a*s.



- Oh, Matty, Matty, Matty.

- I don't know what to believe at this point.

- It's too [...] late.

- I want to call Jag in here, though.

He's saving his [...] self.

- We cannot flip back.

It's too late.

- We have to still vote Izzy out.

- We have to vote Izzy out...

- I'm gonna try.

Mama Felicia has the votes now?

What's going on in this house?

I'm just so confused at this point,

and I know that someone's lying.



This is annoying. - Right?

- I just want to chop it up with you real quick.



- Yeah. Just now?

- Yeah. - Mm-hmm.

- Just now. - Mm-hmm.

- She said you told her you got her or something?

- What's that?

- She told me that you told her you got her?

- Yeah.

I mean, yeah, I think we're--

yeah, me and Cory want to talk to you.

- Yeah?

- I think we have to go this way.

- You want to stay with Mama Felicia?



- Dude, there's some [...] that's been going around.

- Oh.

- I--you're my dog.

I trust you.

- Mm-hmm.

- Mm-hmm. - There's another alliance

called For Real, For Real.

There's seven people in it.



- Who's For Real, For Real?



- You, Cirie, Felicia,

Meme, Cory, America, Izzy.

- So let's just get Cory in here, bro.

- Yeah, get Cory in here. - Let me get Cory in here,

because this is getting crazy, my boy.

This is really frustrating me,

and I'm trying to get to the bottom of it.

So now I really gotta go find Cory

and bring him in the room with Matt

so we can just settle this once and for all.

Cory is really the one that I'm concerned with.



Bows, can I talk to you real quick?

- Yeah, sure.



- I'm not doing the back and forth no more, bro.

And I don't care about sparing feelings.



What's going on? - All right.

I'm gonna be very straightforward, Matt.

- Yeah.

- So basically, Matt and I have been talking.

- Mm-hmm. - And I am under the impression

that for at least a week,

you, who for a long time in this game,

I considered my closest ally... - Mm-hmm.

- You've been lying to me. - Mm-hmm.

- Do you want me here? - Yeah, you're fine.

- Yeah, you can stay. - Okay.

- This whole voting out Izzy idea...

- Mm-hmm. - Like--

like, I don't know what Jag is playing at.



- When it comes to Cameron,

when it comes to Jag, I don't give a [...]

about anything they speak about,

because everything that's coming

out of their mouths is a lie.

And now you're trying to tell me

that I'm lying to you.

- Have you been open with everyone in this room

about what's been going on in the game?

- Very open. - Did you tell him

about For Real, For Real?

- Who the [...] is For Real, For Real?

- Really?

- This is why I just brought her here.



Who is For Real, For Real? - You, me,

Cirie, Izzy, Felicia, Meme, America.

- You talking about a fake alliance?

- So that one's fake and Seven Deadly Sins is real?



- Just so we're very clear about this,

I don't consider any of that real.

- You did not lead me to believe

that alliance was fake.

- [huffs]

This is why I'm pissed off, bro.

- Have you guys been meeting? - This is why I'm pissed off.

This is why I am pissed off,

because what you're saying is I'm a part of some [...].

You've been a part of more meetings than I have been.

I've been in one [...]-- - Oh, come on.

- What meeting did you-- - I've been

the last person to find out about everything.

- Cory, but listen.

You have been--hold on.

You have been in more meetings

with that group than I have,

and you just admitted it, Cory.

- I didn't admit [...].

- Cory, you're, like, really lying right now,

and you're looking very [...] bad.

You're looking very bad.

- Seven Deadly Sins.

Did you think it was a fake alliance?

- I genuinely thought it was real.

- I did too. - Really?

- I did too. - Well, you lied to me then,

straightforward, straight up. - Matt. Matt.

I just hope you guys notice that I've been

very straightforward, direct, and honest,

and I'm very passionate,

because you're trying to call me a liar,

and I feel like you just exposed yourself right now.

- Dude, I'm not trying to call you a liar.

People are coming to me and saying,

Jared's been lying to you for three weeks.

Do you understand how it's challenging?

- Cory, I get that. I get that.

- You just talk over me.

Bro, I can't-- I can't do anything here.

Jared knows that if it comes down

to me and him trading words, actually arguing,

he's screwed.

So instead, he's opting to scream over me.

So I know it's probably very confusing

to you viewers at home.

So welcome to Cory's strategy corner.

Here's the lies that Jared is telling.

He is lying about Seven Deadly Sins being a real alliance,

despite him targeting Jag.

He's lying about For Real, For Real

not being a real alliance,

'cause it was real to America and Meme.

The point is, everything this guy says

opens a whole new can of lies,

and I gotta make sure that everyone sees it.

Jared, I have you telling me one thing,

and then I have seven people telling me the other thing.

- Cory-- - That's the truth of it.

That's the reality. - Cory, that's fine.

That's fine, right? - Do you understand

why it's hard for me to believe that,

especially when I'm putting all these pieces together?

And everyone's coming to me with their Jared stories

about how Jared misled them. - Mm-hmm.

- And then you come in here to have a show to everybody

and say, "Look, guys, Cory's lying.

"I'm telling the truth because I'm talking in a loud volume,

and I'm not letting him say a word."

It's [...], Jared.

We've been comparing notes.

You've been at the center of this entire game.

And I thought you were my boy, I hear all this [...],

and what am I supposed to think?

And it's hard! And what does Cameron tell me?

- Cory, Cory, first of all, I brought my tone down,

so stop yelling at me, number one.

- Jared, Jared, you've been yelling

for minutes straight. - Cory, I just said

I brought my tone down,

so please stop yelling at me right now.

But continue.



- I'm [...] s--Jared.



- What are you hearing?

- You want to go pull Jag in here and ask him?

- Yeah, pull him in here. I don't give a [...]!

- There's no [...].

Right now, it feels like Jared's just trying

to steamroll over every point I made.

I need you to come upstairs after.

Just head in our room.

It's time to figure out if this guy's telling the truth,

and I need to bring in Jag.

[dramatic music]



[tense music]

- He's coming up.

This is all getting out of hand.

Accusations are flying.

I need to call in my witness, Jag,

to set everything straight.

- I'll be right back.

I'll be back.



That's a good seat.

- Just sitting on the pier watching the boats go by.

Everything is just hitting the fan,

and everyone is coming up and down stairs.

It's like I'm the grand marshal

of Cam's chaos week parade.

Oh, man, this is incredible.

This is a lot of fun.

- Jag, let's figure this out, right?

- Yeah, yeah, so what we're talking about is...

- You can join if you want.

- Yeah, [...]. You can come in, Mama C.

- Have you-- - What is the point

of all of this right now?

Why is this happening?

- Because-- - Jared wants to clear the air.

- Ver--very much,

because you're telling me that I've been lying.

So I definitely want to clear the air.

- Enough of this he said, she said.

Let's just see if Jared's telling the truth.

We heard today that you told--

or, like, warned Jared about the vote,

and then you came at me and Matt hot, understandably,

because you're like, what's happening?

Um, and that is what started this whole thing.

- When did we warn about a vote?

- So I want the truth in this, because I'm curious.

- Yeah. - I heard that last night,

you went to Jared and said Fel--

me and Matt are voting to keep Felicia.

Did that happen? - Did I ever do that?

- No, you never said that to me.

- No, I never did. - Never said it to me.

- Didn't Jared just come in and tell us that...

- Never said it to me. - An hour ago?

- You must have misunderstood.

- No, no. Oh, whoa, whoa. - Hold on, hold on, let's--

Jag is telling me we going...

keep Mama Felicia and vote out Izzy.

That's what Jag is telling me y'all talked about.

- He wants to keep Mama Felicia?

- Yeah.

- To be clear, I never said that at all.

- Okay, okay. - Never said it.

- You're telling me that did not happen?

- No. - I believe you.

- Jared is a liar.

This never happened.

I have to now defend my name and my honor.

I don't know what Jared is doing,

and I especially don't like that he's hurting my reputation

with Cory and with my closest ally, Matt.

Did Jared come in and say these things?

- He said, "Jag came to me last night

and told me that Jag and you are voting to keep Felicia."



- [groans]



Now that this is out there, I might as well

explain to him exactly why I said what I said.

The reason why I told you that

is because we don't trust you, bro.

- I'm flabbergasted that

all of this is occurring right now.

I just said, "Go see what's going on, Jared."

I didn't say, "Start a w*r."

- That's why I angled that question at you,

angled the question at you. - But it wasn't a question.

- To try to get-- the statement at you--

to try to keep you very honest.

But I angled it a certain way so you can tell me the truth.

- You see, Jared wasn't lying.

He was "angling his statement,"

much like someone would position their point.

This guy has no idea what he's talking about.

He's grasping at straws

because he was just caught in a lie.

Jared, can I-- like, I think you're really,

like, painting the situation

as, like, this abstract [...].

It was very straightforward. - No, it's not abstract.

- This morning, I hear that you told him this,

which I think everyone, including you,

agrees did not happen.

And I feel like--

I feel like it's happening again

where I'm trying to be pinned against this guy

or against you or against America,

when the reality is-- - Who's trying to pin you

against Matt? - You haven't--

- I've never pinned you against anybody.

- This is ridiculous. - I don't think anybody here

has been totally honest with every person in this game.

- Let's move-- - I'm gonna tell you something.

There's been so many alliances brought up.

There's been a name of Bye-Bye b*tches alliance.

There's been For Real, For Real alliance.

People said, oh, let's do a all-girls alliance,

including America, that never went anywhere,

never had one meeting,

never discussed who's a target,

never discussed who you want to bring into,

and that's why you never heard of it.

- And that's ex-- - And so you're saying

'cause it wasn't--it was fake?

- Because it was some [...].

It wasn't like, ooh, let's go find another

alliance to be in, because for me personally,

I don't want to be in different alliances.

- You know how much I respect you

in and outside of the game. - Yeah.

- But when you're saying that, like,

I don't want to be in four or five alliances...

- Mm-hmm.

- I believe you. - Mm-hmm.

- But you are, and a lot of--

Izzy is, and Felicia is, and Jared's in

a real good amount of them, right?

- Mm-hmm. - And you are--

and I'm sure you would admit this--

definitely benefiting from that,

at least until now, until this whole [...] show, right?

Any person who wins HOH feels like they're

in an alliance with Cirie, Izzy, Jared, and Felicia.



Cirie is trying to downplay all of these alliances,

and the reason for that is because she's in

every one of these alliances.

If people start to see that Cirie, Izzy, and Jared

are at the center of everything,

they're gonna be the next targets.

They're gonna be the next ones to go.

I think, obviously, me and Jared are--

have very different interpretations

of how things have gone by.

- This conversation, for me,

just so we can wrap this [...],

was strictly for the people who in here

who I want to work with, who I've trusted,

who've told me crucial things about their game

that I've never exposed. - Yeah. Sure.

Jared is not trustworthy.

That's for sure.

I'm frustrated I believed him at all in the first place.

Can I ask you something? - Yes, for sure.

- What was the intention of telling me and Matt

about Jag this morning?

- To try to find out about exactly

what you just told me right now.

- Okay, well, do you feel comfortable about

the way that played out, Jag?

Because--because that--

because you were throwing him under the bus.

- So now I'm just, no pun intended,

on this island surrounded by a bunch of sharks, actually.

This is the most critical HOH for Jared

after the Have-Not debacle.

- So moving forward today...

- I think-- - Final six, guys?

[laughs] That was a joke.

That was a joke.

[dramatic music]



- Get off my wall, houseguests!



[mechanical whirring]



- After all the shenanigans in the Have-Not room,

I cannot afford for Jared to win this competition.

He has to fall.

I don't know if I could survive a Jared HOH.



[mechanical whirring]

[tense music]

- After the whole Have-Not debacle,

I'm really determined now.

If Cory or America were to win,

I would definitely be on my way out the door.

Now it's starting to feel like me and my mom,

we're alone in this house.

And I can't allow us to just sit there

and be rolled over.

So now I gotta go out there and get this HOH.

- I'm not sure where I stand right now

after all the arguments that have happened.

I'm scared of what Jared would do if he wins HOH--

maybe put me on the block.

- I'm literally rooting for anybody but Jared to win this.

- I gotta make sure that Jared doesn't win this.

Jared cannot win this competition.

[mechanical whirring]

[dramatic music]

- After everything that's happened today,

I want to win this Head of Household

because I need to start thinking about my own game.

b*tch, don't fall. [laughs]



- As much as I know we need this HOH,

I can feel myself, like, literally, like,

shaking to hold on.



- Uh! [buzzer blares]

- Well, and down goes Cirie.

- Good job, Cirie.

- I hate it.

The only person that

I hope wins this HOH is Jared.

However, Blue is looking like a statue next to Jared.

Maybe Blue winning might be okay,

because I can't see

Blue turning on Jared this early.



- Anybody like pink sauce?

[booming]

[quirky music]



- Hey.

- Get off my wall, you big meatball.



Who wants meatballs?

- I'm good. You good? - Not me.

- I'm good. - [laughs]

- [grunting]



- That's spicy.



- Ugh.

Come on, meatball!



Them big old meatballs coming.

I'm like, sh**t, I can handle you, meatball.

Come on, Mr. Meatball. Hit me again!

Hit me again! I can take it.



- Hi-ya!

You're all just a pack of meatballs.

[dramatic music]

[mechanical whirring]

- All right.



- Ooh, I would love to be able to win this HOH

so I can say, see, I'm not the weakling

that you guys think I--

Ah!

[buzzer blares]

- [singing circus tune]

Get off my wall, Felicia!

- Good job, Mama C. - Good job, Felicia.

- Good job, Felicia. - Good job, Mama C.

- This wall is no joke.

People watching, you might think it's easy.

This is not an easy task, by far.



Stand strong.



You look good.



- I'm shaking.

My biceps are hurting.

My fingers are hurting.

Everything is hurting.



[buzzer blares]

- Ah, ah, down goes America.

- I've been looking forward to playing

this competition all season.

I'm a huge fan.

I really thought I could hold on longer.

So I'm just so angry and frustrated with myself.

At this point, it's just-- it's out of my hands.

I'm really hoping that Cory is able to hold on,

pull through, and get this win.

- How about some meatballs for the meatballs?

[laughing]

[dramatic music]



- You--[laughs] - Uh-huh.



[mechanical whirring]



[buzzer blares]

- Meatballs flying everywhere, baby.

Down goes Mecole.

- This wall comp was mine to lose.

I went in very focused.

And so being the fourth person off the wall

is very disappointing.



- It's down to Matt, Bowie, Jag,

Cory, Blue, and Jared.



- So America falls,

and I know all of this rests on me.

I need to win this HOH.

The problem is, I'm dying up here.

I'm doing everything I can,

but I don't know how much longer I can hold on.



[dramatic music]

- Good job, guys.

- The meatball, the sauce, the rain--

all of it, difficult.

I am in pain.

It's bad.



[buzzer blares]

- Down goes Cory.

- I'm pissed.

But there's still a lot of people up on that wall

who can guarantee my safety.

I'm rooting for Jag.

I'm rooting for Matt.

I'm rooting for Bowie.

Even Blue winning would be maneuverable.

I just can't have Jared.



- Anybody like some pesto?

[booming]



- It's down to Matt, Bowie, Jag, Blue, and Jared.



- I'm watching this, and I'm like, come on, Jared.

All you have to do is hold on.

I know you have the muffin hands.

I am counting on you, Jared.

Let's go.

[mechanical whirring]

- You got this.

You got this, you guys.



- Who wants meatballs?



- Every time the wall tilts,

I feel like I'm about to fall off.

My legs are cramping.

My arms are on fire.

I'm holding on with just my fingers at this point.

- [singing circus tune]



- Hold on, Matt.



[buzzer blares]

- And down goes Jag.

- It's okay, Jag.

Good job.

[dramatic music]

- Uh, uh, hold on tight.

Get ready for the marinara sauce.

[booming]



- You got it. You got it. Hold on.



- My mouth's not open now.

- You got this.

- Hold on.

- We've had pink sauce.

We've had green sauce.

- I'm getting constantly blasted by sauces,

but what's k*lling me is my forearms.

They are starting to cramp up,

and they are k*lling me, big time.

So I don't know how much more I got in me.

- Hold on. - Hold on.

You got this. - You got this.

- It'll be up soon.

[buzzer blares]

- Down goes Matt.



- It all comes down to the final three right now

with Bowie Jane, Blue, and Jared.



- Bowie's from Australia.

She spends most of her time hanging upside down anyways.

This should be nothing.

I fully expect her to beat Jared.

- Come on, Bowie, you got this.

Don't be a baby like me and give up.

- Bowie, stay in the zone.



- Hold on. - Hold on.



[soft music]

- I'm rooting for you.

I'm praying for you.

Pray if you need to.

[sniffs] But hold on, Jared.

Hold on.

Oh, God.

[tense music]



- This is starting to get really slippery

and even harder to hold on by the minute.

My arms and shoulders are absolutely on fire

at this point, but I'll allow my arms to break off

before I fall off this wall.



- Come on.

Hold on, hold on.



- I literally don't trust anyone in the house

to do the right thing by me.

I think everyone's lying through their teeth.

So I am gonna stay on for as long as I can.



[booming]



- The fingers are slipping.

Morale is getting lower and lower,

and I'm just hoping the wall just goes up.



- Y'all got this.

[booming]

- Ooh.



- Hang on, hang on.

- Hold on.



[buzzer blares]



[buzzer blares]

- Yes!

- [cheering] - Yes!

Let's go, baby!

- Let's go!

Let's go! - Let's go!

- Let's [...] go!

[laughter]

- Congratulations, Jared.

You are the next Head of Household.

- Yes, sir!

Y'all was trying to blow your boy game up,

but look who winning the HOH again--

once again.

That's number two.

Mom, I told you I got you.

Izzy, I did this for you.

So let's go.

It's time to get shaking this week, baby.

Let's go!

[tense music]

- So I just had the fight of the century with Jared,

voted out his number one ally,

and then he won the HOH competition.

I mean, this is the worst-case scenario.

[tense music]

- Let's go!

[all cheering]

- Let's go, baby! - Go, Jared!

[laughter]

I know y'all shaking in y'all boots right now.

Y'all thought this was gonna be easy?

Y'all thought y'all was gonna have an easy week?

Nothing was gonna get me off that wall,

and now it's time for every single one of y'all to pay.

All the dogs. - Yes.

- My dog. - Yes.

Oh, my God.

So of course, another Jared HOH.

This is the one thing I didn't want to happen.

He put me on the block two weeks ago when he was HOH.

He threw my name under the bus,

and I just don't know where I stand this week.

- This is the only possible outcome

for Jared and I's life in this game

after the Have-Not room this morning.

[laughs]

They are going to learn,

do not mess with Jared's mama.

And they don't even know.

Wait until they find out.



[tense music]

- Oh, crap.

Look like it's just gonna be an uphill battle this week.

I feel a little uneasy in the house with him,

but not quite as uneasy as a few other people

that got called out in that scuffle,

like Cory, America, even Jag.



I hope that it pivots his focus.

It's just me against the world right now.



But hey, this might work in my favor.



- I didn't do anything unreasonable.

But I'm gonna be the target,

and I hope you're not the pawn.



Like, I really-- that wasn't on me.

But he started screaming at me, and I defended myself.

But you didn't come up that much, so...

- [sighs]



- No matter what, I care about you.

Jared is not my ally.

In all likelihood, he's targeting me.

I'm just hoping that on Thursday,

if I'm on the block,

I'm not sitting next to America.

- But I don't want you to go.

- I don't want to go, trust me.

[dramatic music]



[tense music]

- Matt, Cameron,

Humili-week is over,

which means your punishments are over.

- You're free! Yay! - Oh, let's go!

- Yes!

- Everyone say farewell to Josh.

- Bye! - No!

Spending time with Josh has been a dream come true.

We shaved together.

We showered together.

We slept together.

We ate slop together.

We lifted together.

We fought.

He got a scratch on him. - Kiss him.

- We did everything together.

Oh. - [laughs]

- Josh is in the way. I'm sorry.

But sadly, it's time for Josh to go.

I'm gonna miss him, but I'm gonna finally

get some space away from him.

I think that's the healthy part for our next step

in the relationship.

Josh, hope I see you on the outside.



Oh! Oh, my God. - Ah! [laughs]

- Are you okay? Are you okay?

Josh is coming--

going out with a bang.

- [laughs]



[tense music]



- Ah!

[laughter]

[muffled speech]

- Oh, my God. I'm sorry.

[laughter] Aw.

I'm so--I'm so proud of you.



So now what you thinking, though?

- So at this point, Cory and America.

- Okay.



- Regardless of what's gonna happen this week,

I want Cameron gone. - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

- Cameron's a really strong competitor.

He just got rid of one of my strong alliance members,

being Izzy.

And he's targeted my mom in the past.

He's definitely a dangerous player,

and I'm highly considering backdooring him.

I want Cameron to go home, %.

- That's all I care about. - Yeah.

- I don't want Jared to make it blatantly obvious.

However, we have to backdoor Cameron.

Justice for Izzy.



I'm so proud of you, Jared.

- [laughs] Yeah. - Pooh.



[sighs]

[tense music]

- First off, great job. - Thank you.

- No one expected you to do that.

Not one person expected you to do that.

- Cam, my boy.

I feel like you did me dirty, bro.

I was working with you, bro, and I was trying

to work with you. - I wanted to.

- And I felt like I got burnt, bro, and I'm just like--

- I did too. - I'm like, damn, bro.

At this point, I'm just done

[...] trusting people in this house.

- Are you?

- Oh, for sure. - Then we can talk.

- For sure. - Then we can really talk.

- For sure.

The only person that I still trust

in this house is Blue.



That's the only person.

- My plan coming in here,

number one, was to hash out calmly and apologize.

But once I figured out that he recognized

the opportunity to change up his entire strategy

and who he wants to work with, now it's time to talk game.

The only thing that I can offer you

at this point moving forward... - Mm-hmm.

- If I don't touch the [...] block this week,

and if you can somehow stave off

the ultimate urge to backdoor me...

- Mm-hmm.

- If I don't touch the block this week,

I can promise the both of you--

I have no quarrels with Blue.



But at this moment,

as a [...] father of a little girl

and a man that has served this country

and done everything that I've done,

if I don't touch the block this week,

I will do everything for you next week--

everything.



Any deal that I have been offered

and made in this house, I have [...] honored it.

Bottom line, when I make a deal,

it's a deal.

- I got a lot of options this week.



But Cameron, he's going after my mom.

So I really want to make a decision

that's not ultimately only good for my game,

but my mom's as well.

I'm really over the past, bro.

I want to focus on me rebuilding

and who I want to rebuild with.

- I will make your game happen.

- And I respect you enough to let you know that

I'm definitely gonna consider it.



- It's gonna get hard.

This whole week is gonna get hard.

- I know.

But that's what we for.



[tense music]



- Hey, y'all, it's time for the nomination ceremony.



This is the nomination ceremony.

It is my responsibility as the Head of Household

to nominate two houseguests for eviction.

In my nomination block are the keys of the houseguests

that I will be nominating for eviction.

I will turn two keys to lock in my nominations,

and their faces will appear on the memory wall.

The first houseguest I have nominated is...



The next houseguest I have nominated is...



I've nominated you, Cory, and you, America.

Cory, if you want to villainize somebody,

especially somebody that

everyone else considered you to be close to,

you don't want to air their dirty laundry

in front of people, because although

they may be taking notes about what you're saying,

they're taking notes about you, also realizing

that if that kid could do that to somebody

he considered a brother, he could do that

to absolutely anybody, especially me.

America, nothing personal for me.

I wish you guys nothing but the best.

And this nomination ceremony is adjourned.



I nominated Cory and America this week,

but my sights are set on Cameron,

and I'm hoping I can make a big move this week.

- I'm just so sad, angry--

all of the bad emotions.

But there's still hope.

You know, even though me and Cory are up on the block,

I'm still hopeful that we can win Veto.

That would be iconic.

- The truth is, I did not like Jared's speech.

I think it was very condescending.

He's lying about everything.

I know I can figure this out.

I know I can protect myself.

I'm gonna try to protect America,

and I'm going to be here next week.

- Who will win the Power of Veto,

and will it be used to save Cory or America

from the chopping block?
