Announcer: previously on "big brother"...

When angela was named the replacement nominee...

Because I am naming angela as the replacement nominee.

Announcer: she took her anger out on quinn.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

That's crazy. No one can trust you.

Announcer: with the house voting to evict either angela or

Tucker. I vote to evict tucker.

Tucker. Tucker.

Announcer: a coalition of five finally got the comp east

The tuck out. Julie: by vote of -,

Tucker, you are the pounds get evicted.

I'm coming home! Announcer: with the game

Reset, quinn. Congrats, you are the new

Head of household! I can win comps.

Announcer: knowing he wanted to put up tucker

Showmance -- I love rubina but I can't

Trust her. Announcer: his current

Archrival. First reporting angela up.

Oh my god. Thanks for the suggestion but

No shot. Announcer: quinn looks to

His visionaries alliance for a pawn.

Putting kimo? Maybe someone will volunteer.

Quinn, I'm quite perplexed as to why kimo is an option put up.

Announcer: warned kimo he may be in hot lava.

Do you think I would be on the block?

If you were, it's because I think you'll stay.

Speak I want to believe that quinn is still in with

Visionaries. However.

I don't really know where his head is at.

Announcer: at the nomination ceremony.

I've nominated you, angela, rubina, and kimo.

Announcer: quinn made his intentions clear.

I have been called a narcissist, an idiot, and

Trustworthy, and most heinous of all, unfunny.

I'm asking the house to respect my wishes as hh to go after the

Person I feel should be sent home next.

Announcer: tonight, the power of veto is on the line.

Who will find light in the darkness and when the golden

Power? Find out right now on

"Big brother"! I believe he will be your

Bestie outside of here. ♪

This nomination ceremony is adjourned.

I nominated angela, kimo, and rubina.

With angela being my primary target because I am just so

Confident that she will just be carried to the end of this game

At my expense. I had to put rubina and kimo on

The block goes a majority of us just sent tucker home sort make

Sense to put up his two closest allies.

I'm not surprised quinn nominated me just for my

Proximity to tucker. Being here the last time kind of

Lit a fire under my a*s and maybe the second time in the

Light and even bigger fire under my a*s.

I have more sorry for you. My makes sense.

You? That's different.

I'm feeling all the things prayed upset and disappointed

And terrified obviously. To be fair it's been a bumpy

Road with visionaries. But I don't where I stand with

Quinn because if I were in power, I would do my best not to

Put one of my alliance members on the block.

Hello! I get to play my first veto.

You have literally been through the ringer and a lot of

It has been my own fault. In his speech, quinn set I

Called him a narcissist, a liar, and an idiot.

And, you know, I did. Like a big mouth.

[Sighs] well, I deserve it.

I called names and I know better than that.

Constantly at a battle with myself in this house.

All the time. It's exhausting.

It's really exhausting. Oh, jeez.

It's really exhausting. Oh, jeez.

What's up? Living your best life.

How are you feeling? Feeling good?

Regnomes are not an option. Otherwise I could be in some

Pretty hot water. I have zero interest putting of

Any of the people who on tucker. T'kor did me a solid by not

Putting leah on the block and I want to go far with joseph in

The game so this is -- this week I need the noms to say

The same. Kimo is disappointed.

I said I'm not trying to take you out.

I hope he believes me. I think he will.

After I flipped the vote on tucker last week with the help

Of quinn, I'm not mad at how the game is going.

However, these aren't the nominees I want to see on the

Block or begot two right, rubina and kimo but we are missing

T'kor. Not only was t'kor one of

Tucker's public, her and kimo played a huge role getting

Cedric out some of the end of the week I would like to see her

Go up on the block just to scare her a little bit.

They lost their biggest asset to the game and now it's a

Scramble. Worded kimo go?

I don't know. I don't understand.

[Whispering] but as long as his target goes

Out. Though he's made it very clear

His target is angela, I'm obviously not happy with quinn

Putting up kimo and rubina. If he's going to do that to

Kimo, who's to say he wouldn't do it to me?

So I'm feeling uneasy right now. I'm going to remain positive.

That's what we need. What's meant to be will be.

Dude. You and me.

Just chill. Chill vibes.

Everybody else... ...

Not chill. It's like to spew chilled.

Literally. Of course I have a crush on

Leah. Who wouldn't have a crush on

Her? I want to hang out with her all

The time I have definitely felt those vibes at times with her.

You know they mean, that it might be mutual.

You are honestly one of my favorite people I've ever met.

I think you are the best. [Whispering]

No water -- know what --

No matter what happens I hope we are cool after this.

I do definitely have love for joseph.

I never want to hurt you. Because I care about you a lot.

A lot, a lot, a lot. I would want to keep them in

My life for a long time. But probably in a more platonic

Way I would say. Is quinn here?

Way I would say. Is quinn here?

Do you want a moment? Mia.

If I could. I don't want to make him feel

Bad. I do wear my heart on my sleeve

And I do call things out. I don't want to be mean.

I was a little taken aback. Sorry.

I don't want to cry. I don't want to cry.

That's okay. Look at your freakin' eyes!

You little twit. Don't call me twit.

After someone is a nurse is to me, it's a little hard right

Now -- someone is a narcissist to me, it's hard to go out that

Way. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, quinn. It's okay.

I only brought those things have to be funny.

I'm not actually upset by those things at all.

Okay. That to me as funny to look

Back on. It's not an issue at all for me.

I promise. You don't have to apologize for

Anything. I understand.

I will work hard to win that veto but I don't want there to

Be a weirdness between us. Angela is still a great

Person who I like but that doesn't change the fact that I

Want her gone. There's no ill will at all.

This is strictly game. I do love and adore you in this

Game and outside of it. Thanks.

Same. I had to deal with a lot more of

This house than this. I get back up.

I win veto. Game will go on.

I keep telling myself I'm going to win these things and I don't.

[Crying] thank you.

Thank you so much for talking to me, angela.

It so crazy, the nuances to this game.

It could be won so many different ways.

Strategic lies. The competitions.

Very small part of it. I don't think tucker realized

That. No.

You can be the michael jordan of comps all you want but it's not

Going to matter people don't like you.

That's why I was cool going in with him because I knew I could

Beat him. Hold up.

Wait a minute, joseph. You actually thought that going

To the final two with tucker would be a good idea?

He would ask me for advice. He would listen.

You thought you would win against him?

Tucker at least play the game, you have simply been taking up

Air. Are we still here?

I don't even know. I know how.

How may? Your social game.

Things, do. You and me and we are playing

The same. Hold on, are you talking to

Me? You think we play similar games,

Our games are like water and oil.

Oil. I won and hoh.

I've gotten myself off the block and won ai arena.

I grabbed my troops to get your biggest ally, tucker out of the

Game. What have you done?

Tell me. At the end of the day, that's

What it is. It's a social thing.

I would love to get to the end and win nothing and win the

Game. That would be crazy.

Dr. Will. Never won a competition for one

Of the greatest players of all-time.

Joseph thinks he's some sort of social mastermind and its

Getting delusional. It's crazy how the game is

Perceived so differently depend on who you are in the game.

Yeah. You guys don't know this but

Kimo somehow my sheets today. I'm so scared.

I feel not included in thi things.

I'm genuinely not working with anyone.

It's always hard seeing angela up on the block.

I know she's had a tough time in this house.

But I think that she's a very kind to land often

Misunderstood. Nobody's perfect.

I think for me I'm just scared I don't know what I'm

Doing. That's how I feel.

I don't think you would be as easy for me if you weren't here.

I feel the same way about you genuinely.

I feel like leah is looking after me.

She's smart. She's funny.

She cares about people. She's selfless.

She has real conversations with me and I feel close to her

Because of that. You're just a really good

Person. Thank you.

So are you. The people that matter will see

That. Hey, everybody.

It's time to pick players for the veto competition.

As hoh, I will pick. Right now the best-case

Scenario is that t'kor wins the gold and power of veto and can

Take either myself or rubina off the block.

Angela. I have a feeling angela is

Going to want me to play for this week in veto I'm hoping she

Doesn't choose me because I have a really good relationship with

Her and quinn. It would just really put me in a

Tough spot. I choose joseph.

Of course I love leah and I would love for her to play up

But if I choose her, kind of put the target on her back.

What a relief. Dodged a b*llet there for sure.

Leah. Well, I got picked but you

Know what, if I win I would least have the power to decide

Which move would best benefit my game.

"Big brother" will inform us when the competition is to

Begin. Good luck.

[Whispering] joseph is my duty and we've got

To keep these nominations the same.

I've made it abundantly clear that angela is my target and

With rubina and kimo on the blog.

If someone were to be taken down I'd have to put joseph up.

I don't want to do that. That would suck.

If it's physical. It's good for me because I

Don't see quinn putting up so I felt pretty good about making it

To the final nine smooth sail sailing.

We are good. The fact that I got picked is

Insane. I'm always excited to play but

It's always like -- I would've picked you but I

Didn't want to do that because it would just define me.

I like what you did. I think it was best move.

If you will don't like our personal relationship, that's

Literally not my problem. Thank you.

You are my girl and they can't take you from me.

This is the glimmer of hope I need to stay in this game.

I'm going to try to win the veto it if I don't win it, I need

Leah to end it. I need leo to win it.

Leah to end it. I need leo to win it.

Let me give my motivational talk.

Yes. I want to begin by saying I love

You both very, very much. No we've got veto competition

Coming up today and even though it has been solidified that you

All are not the target, the end of the we've still got to make

Sure we are fighting for ourselves and giving ourselves

The best shot at being here as long as we possibly can.

T'kor might not be able to help us out in the veto.

Her spirit and inspiration and motivation for us to go in there

And win it, that is more than enough.

Me and kimo have got to lock in a take this veto home for one of

Us. One of us has got to get off the

Block. [Humming]

Why is it so pretty? That was good.

Hey, everybody! It's time for the veto

Competition. Let's gear up and head

To the factory. Look what you're wearing!

Let me see. Oh my god!

[Screaming] are these the cutest

Jumpsuits and headbands you've ever seen in your whole entire

Life? Secondly, what is going to

Happen? What does ainsley have in store

For us? I may live in miami but I'm

Originally from pittsburgh. Black and yellow.

Steel city. Let's get these hands dirty.

Welcome to block builders headquarters.

I need your help to create a bot to help me take down the

Government. I mean take down the curtains.

So today the power of veto will go to the houseguest who can

Build my bot the fastest. Here's how it works.

When the bell sounds, the model for my bot will appear in my

Virtual environment. Make sure to study the model

Closely because you'll need to remember all the details if you

Hope to build my bot correctly. When you think you have the

Details memorized, crawl through the cleaning duct to access the

Assembly room. You'll need to sift through the

Parts to locate the current pieces to assemble the bot.

It's imperative that government does not have eyes on what's

Happening so the assembly room is pitch black.

Use your sense of touch to feel out the different textures,

Sizes, and locations of the pieces.

But be careful. The assembly rooms have many

Different parts and pieces but I will only accept a bot that

Exactly matches my design specifications.

When you believe your bot has been correctly configured, exit

The assembly room to the cooling duct and hit your button.

If you're wrong, figure out what is wrong and try again.

First player to correctly build my bot will win the golden

Power of veto. Who is ready to play bot

Builders. [Applause]

Let's go. I'm in the most precarious

Situation where I do not want to name another nominee.

This season, the power of veto has been used every single week.

I want to be the first hoh that puts people on the block and

They stay there! So we can get angela out of here

And celebrate going into next week.

I am under pressure to win it because I need to take myself

Off the block, secure my safety and be here for at least another

Week. I really, really want to win

This veto. I am sick of being at the mercy

Of other people. I feel like I have been an

Afterthought to a lot of people in this house and I am over it.

I'm disappointed that I'm at risk because of quinn.

He and I both know pawns go home.

I want to keep playing this ga game.

One way that I can do that is to win the veto.

You may begin. While everyone else is being

A total dweeb calculating the math of all the pieces, I'm

Going to sprint in there, but the same general idea of the

Robot on the screen at home for the best.

I haven't watched tv in months.

It's like watching "big brother" at home.

I am living the dream. That's quinn.

Omg. It is so day gone dark.

Where is everything? It's pitch freakin' black.

What the heck. I can't see even my hands.

How far down is it. Okay, there is something there.

We have to put together a robot in a dark room.

The first person who exactly matches the robot wins the

Golden power of veto. I already forgot.

[Snorts] okay, okay, here's the box.

Here's a box. Here's the parts.

That's the plunger thing. I think the hardest part

About this competition is just making sure I have the right

Pieces. There are decoy pieces.

Hopefully I can tell the real ones from the fake ones pretty

Often rely on touch and feel and make sure you've got the right

Piece in. I think that's an arm.

I think it is. Even though we are working

With pieces to this robot, the first piece is already up

There. It's the torso.

The next piece I find is the head.

Quinn's building. Two down in nine pieces to g

Go. My mind-set going into this

Is to memorize the pieces that I need as much as possible so I

Don't have to run in and out, in and out.

What's the difference. These are similar.

I notice that that a few items on the robot's left-hand side

Are items I would use to clean the bathroom.

The leg looks like a plunger and the ear looks like toilet bowl

Brush. Those are two items I feel as

Though I could easily identify. My strategy is to memorize

The robot design and then assemble as much as I can.

That way I don't waste time or ruin my knees going to and from

My assembly room through this cooling duct.

As always, I'm throwing another competition.

Why? I don't care about these.

It's going to put a bigger target on my back of my start

Winning these comps. Quinn is hoh so I feel pretty

Safe. Josephs is on the floor

Crisscross applesauce. Joseph just sitting in this

Competition meditating. You know what?

It makes sense because this has been joseph's game.

Sit around all day and do quite literally nothing.

The other leg. I think that is.

I think it is. That's the leg.

What is going on with this? What is this?

What is that? I don't --

I don't call it that is. I find the right leg but when

I go to put it on, there's already something there atta

Attached. I think it is.

Why is there already a right leg on the robot?

Oh, my gosh. Does this --

What -- I can figure out the leg.

On the right. Clean the toilet bowl.

Everything about this robot is speaking to me.

Once I get in the darkness I rely on the sounds I've made to

Remember the placement and then I am just feeling the textures

Identified earlier hoping for the best that I can put this

Robot together pretty quickly. [Buzzer]

Robot together pretty quickly. [Buzzer]

Go try. Ow!

Be careful. Quinn has the wrong leg.

There you go. Oh my gosh.

When is quinn doing? I see quinn tossed the leg he

Needs to the opposite side of the room.

Why would you do that? If he doesn't find that come

He's going to be in big trouble. [Buzzer]

I'm going back and forth, back and forth.

[Buzzer] and I just keep getting ehh,

Ehhh, ehhh. Red light, red light, red light.

I have no clue what is wrong with this robot.

I just feel like I am missing something.

I just feel like I am missing something.

This should be it. This is the last piece I need to

Complete my robot. It's time to buzz in and see if

I'm right. Congratulations, leah.

You have won the golden power of veto.

Oh my god. Oh, my god.

[Cheers and applause] whoo!

Oh, my gosh. I'm so excited I won the

Power of veto. I can win something!

I can compete. Approved I'm a competitor in

This game. Having a little bit of power is

Going to feel really awesome. I kind of want to bite in but I

Won't. I don't want to break a tooth.

My family is so proud. That's okay.

That's awesome. Why, rubina?

Why didn't you pull this veto out for yourself?

Even though I didn't win, neither did angela.

Angela being on the block is better for me.

I can do hard things. I'm really disappointed I

Didn't win the power of veto. But I have won in the ai arena

Before and I'm prepared to do it again if I have to.

I may not have won but none of the nominees won either so

This is kind of fine. I'm still super happy for leah.

She was clearly touched by getting the won so I think this

Is all right. As long as she doesn't use

The veto. My gosh.

Come on down!

Whoo! [Squealing]

Leah! [Laughter]

It is a blessing and a curse winning the golden power of veto

Because I am super close with angela.

That's so good. I'm also close with quinn but

I'm kind of sick of being at everyone's mercy and now I feel

Are most compelled to make a big move but I know it's going to

Ruffle some feathers. People can't stomach that, well,

Welcome to "big brother." Whoo!

I am so happy for leah for getting her first win.

And then it hits me. Leah and angela are pretty close

And there's a chance she might use the power of veto to save

Angela and disrupt all my plans this week.

I've got to kick-start the old social game again and make sure

That that doesn't happen. I love all of you guys.

Thank you so much. I am so proud of leah for

Winning this veto competition. Although I would love for her to

Use the veto on me, I simply cannot ask her to do so.

It was hard, no matter how you slice it, and you slayed it.

I respect her way too much and whatever decision she makes

Needs to be best for her game. I'm hoping leah does not use

Her power of veto. Be great for noms to stay the

Same because I don't want quinn to consider me as a replacement

Nominee. My gosh.

I'm so happy. My family is so proud of me.

[Applause] badass.



I am nervous in the presence of you right now.

Thoughts. You're sick, nasty coming are

Incredible. He looked really cool and

Yellow. I like your smile.

You treat people with kindness. You're really funny.

It's like, the word sensational comes to mind when I think about

You. Your so sweet.

You're so sweet. What are you thinking?

How are you feeling? I'm willing to hear everybody

Out. My feeling is take out

Angela. She's going to fade into the

Shadows and then reappear on finale night in the second-place

Chair. As far as I'm concerned, that's

Taking came from me. It's taking k from you but I

Know that you're close and that would be difficult for you.

I want to skewer your head is at.

It would suck. Angela is a solid number for me.

If she wins, she will not put me up.

Do you feel like you're going to use the veto to save angela?

I really don't know. Because I also don't want to put

You in the position of having to put somebody else up but she

Benefits from the game. I understand.

Leah might take my target angela off the block.

Dude! How about no!

I saved you last week. Do not do this, leah, please.

The world's or oyster. Look at us.

This is great.

In all honesty, getting rid of me makes no sense.

Game wise, use me as a number. I'm going to joseph because I

Know he's a friend of quinn and he may know the real deal is.

I want to figure out if he knows if quinn really means business,

Like I am the target. There is still an opportunity

For someone to come down and someone to be backdoored.

To be honest, I'm not the one you've got to convince.

I think he values your opinion just as I do.

Angela, I don't know why you're coming to me.

If you want the truth, I'll give it to you.

I feel like people are a little worried you could blow up their

Game. It's one thing if you've blown

Up on somebody one time. Unfortunately angela, it's a

Pattern. It kind of is what it is.

I feel like he is being demeaning to me with everything

He says. Demeaning.

Honestly, angela, I don't see a way for you to be uite frank

With you. In some ways, I'm amazed you're

Still here. [Laughs]

You know what I mean? He laughs at me.

How dare you? How are you still here?

I'm going to hold my tongue and not blow up and get mad at him

But I'm very mad. Now I have to help without

Asking leah to use the veto on me that she sees that saving me

Would be best for her game. That's all I really have to

Say about that. Thank you.

Of course. Okay, I am still making my

Decision. Just weighing pros and cons.

I'm so sorry. All I want is for her to make it

To juries so that she can be a vote for me.

You know what I mean? She's the only person that I

Know would not betray me because of how much she genuinely cares

About me. If leah shatters my heart

Into a billion pieces by using the veto, I am screwed, okay?

I feel like I would have to put up joseph.

And that's the last thing I want to do!

People are opportunistic. Yes.

Tucker. Literally took her off the box,

Saved her game and then she tried to take them out.

Yeah, you're right. I don't my game feeling like

It's out of my hands and that I have no control over it.

I understand. You've not been given the

Respect you deserve in this game but I don't think saving angela

Is the answer. If you stick your neck out for

Angela, it's going to reveal how close you guys are.

And now there is a reason to put you on the block and I know that

You want her to go to jury but I want you to be there on finale

Night. I don't want you to go home.

I'm still up in the air about it.

I truly believe it's in my best interest to keep her here but I

Don't want to be made a target because I chose to go against

What the house wants. I literally --

I can't with everything. It's just so frustrating.

The decision is so frustrating. You have to understand.

I have to put up joseph. Wait.

Let me get the begging in. Please, please don't do it.

Please, please, please. Come on, leah.

Don't make me put my boy joseph l.

It's so easy. Just don't use the power.

This is horrible. Huge fan of yours.

Doing things his way harder than not doing things or just

Don't do it! Please, please.

If she uses that veto tomorrow, oh, my god.

I literally begged.

♪ Hey, everyone.

It's time for the veto meeting.

This is the veto meeting.

Angela, rubina, and kimo have been nominated for eviction.

I have the power to veto one of the nominations.

I have decided to use the power of veto...

On angela. I'm really sorry, quinn.

I have to pr prioritize what's t for my game and I want to use it

The way I want to use it. [Crying]

The way I want to use it. [Crying]

It's okay. Quinn, since I have vetoed

One of your nominations for eviction, you will have to name

A new houseguest as a replacement nominee.

A new houseguest as a replacement nominee.

Um... Last week there was a move made

To take out a pretty large target and there was five people

Included in that. So for that, I can't put those

People up because of the commitment that they made.

T'kor, you didn't get the opportunity to vote.

So with that, that only leaves one person in this house.

Unfortunately, joseph, I have to name u.s. That replacement

Nominee. Unfortunately, joseph, I have to

Name you is that replacement nominee.

This veto meeting is adjourned.

♪ Quinn and joseph are very

Close friends to me in this game and I know that they're going to

Be upset with my decision, but I just cannot pass up the chance

To secure a solid jury vote with angela.

Friendships are great but this is all a game for me.

Is that rude? [Screaming]

This is so annoying, dude, I was literally on my knees begging

And it meant nothing. This kid literally told me he

Wanted to see me go far in the game.

Blah, blah, blah blah blah. His word is dirt.

Oh, my god. He better pray I don't win and

Hoh. His a*s will be on the block so

Fast it will make his head spin. I'm sorry, joseph.

But to be quite frank, if you don't win and that ai arena, I'd

Be surprised if you're still here.

It's like, you really can't write this.

Announcer: this. Announcer: will it be

Rubina, kimo, or joseph who will prevail in the ai arena?

Plus, what game changing announcement will ainsley make?

Find out tomorrow night at :, : central lab on

"Big brother"! Live on "big brother"!
