27x20 - Episode 20

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Big Brother!

Vince and Lauren had a final two.

Final two.

I swear.

But he was also in an alliance with
Mickey, Morgan, and Zach.

We're kind of like the melting pot.

I like the melting pot.

But that foursome soon became a trio.

By a vote of eight to two, Zach, you
are evicted from the Big Brother house.

In the wake of Zach's demise, Mickey
turned her ire toward Rachel.

Now we got H-O-H.

And I hope I win it.

Because I'm sending Rachel fast.

And Ava warned the reality goddess she
could be in danger.

They might put you up.

No doubt in my mind.

I know I'm on the outs of this
house, and the people that I

once trusted and wanted to
work with are now turning on me.

At a scream-inducing head-of-household
competition...

Rachel became the final girl.

Congratulations, Rachel.

You are the new head-of-household.

Yay!

Putting the queen back on her throne.

I'm back, b*tches!

With power on her side, Rachel tried to
strengthen the ranks.

It's time for me to rally the troops.

I have a working
relationship with Will, Ava,

and Ashley, and I now
have Keanu on my side.

So I think I need to
pull in Kelly so that if I

make a big move, I
definitely have the numbers.

And at the nomination ceremony...

I've nominated you, Vince, Morgan,
and Mickey.

She made a declaration of w*r.

I love you all personally, but in this
game, I can't allow you to control it.

Tonight, the Veto is on the line in the
legendary O-Tev competition.

Who will win the golden power?

Plus, another jaw-dropping Veto meeting
awaits.

All this, right now, on Big Brother!

Rachel!

Rachel!

Rachel!

This nomination ceremony is adjourned.

I nominated Vince, Morgan, and Mickey this
week.

I've been targeting Vince for weeks,
but right now, I think that Mickey and

Morgan are running this
game, and they stand in the way

of me becoming the first
two-time Big Brother winner.

Let's play Big Brother.

I am approximately 0% surprised that I end
up on the block.

It's Rachel's HOH.

We've just never been on the same page,
gameplay-wise.

In my normal life, I always
assume worst-case scenario,

but I can't be playing
this game in fear, 24-7.

So I need to win that Veto, and I need to
take myself off.

I'm not surprised I'm on the block.

My best friend leaves the house.

Do you want to know what's even better
than losing one of your best friends?

How about sitting next to two of your best
friends in the house?

Like, what is happening?

I think Rachel nominated me because she's
intimidated by me.

I think she thought that being
Rachel Riley was going to be

enough sway to allow people to
swarm around her in this house.

And instead of swarming
around her, they're

swarming around me
because they smell like me.

They smell the genuineness on me and the
fakeness on her.

So after I pull myself off this block,
she'll have an understanding of who's

actually going to win this game,
and it's not her.

Welcome to the party.

Welcome to the party.

Kelly hugged me and said, welcome to the
party.

She was smiling.

She was smiling the whole time.

And I don't care about Rachel.

I actually try to be nice to her.

And sweet.

And uplifting.

I literally prayed for her.

What?

To win HOH this week.

Mickey's acting cry-cry.

Mickey is lying.

She's like trying to
say that she wasn't lying

against Rachel or talking
about Rachel, and she was.

Look, I'm trying to be in good with both
of these ladies.

So my game plan?

Shut up and keep quiet.

I feel so dumb.

She is exactly who she was 15 years ago.

Nasty, manipulative, and conniving.

Two kids and a husband does not make you a
better person.

And Bird would be upset with me because I
sent Jimmy home.

Yeah, that's the thing with Jimmy.

This is retribution.

For Jimmy?

It's retribution for Jimmy.

That's all it is.

That's messed up.

I'm just so confused.

I'm not happy that Rachel put Mickey on
the block.

Was Mickey acting kind of like a dictator
the past few weeks?

Yes.

Also yes, Mickey was coming for Rachel.

But Mickey was a number
for me, so I really was hoping

that Rachel would not put
Mickey up for my own sake.

I really thought I would at least make it
to jury.

You will.

I'm sorry, Mickey.

Do we still have the veto?

I'm working with both of the girls,
so it's not a good look that Rachel put

Mickey on the block, but Mickey can walk
out.

All of us know that you're going to put
Rachel on the block.

Rachel just took the shot before you could
take the shot.

And let's just keep it 100.

The line is drawn, bro.

The line is drawn.

The line is drawn.

First of all, no hard feelings.

It's a game.

Let's just make that clear.

But I do want to just talk.

Like, you don't have to tell me who your
target is.

That's your business.

I just wanted to have, like, an honest
conversation.

I mean...

I do know that I was your target.

I won't lie to you.

I would have put you on the block,
but I wouldn't have wanted you to go home.

That's the honest truth.

But yes, you would have been on the block.

Thanks, Morgan.

Well, I'm very glad that I put you up
before you could put me up.

And now I know that my nominees were
justified.

Like, what is she thinking?

I do actually think that this group of
newbies might be actually crazy.

I obviously care about you a lot.

I do, Rach.

Like, I was genuinely happy for you when
you won.

But this decision was
made because I know that

if you were the HOH, I
would be on the block.

I know.

And I'm not upset.

There's a veto and a blockbuster.

No, I agree.

By the end of the week, you might not even
be on that block.

People are probably like, girl,
why'd you admit it?

I'm not afraid.

I am not afraid to fight in this game.

The veto comp this week is huge.

This is my life on the line.

So, it's about damn time that this house
knows what the hell I'm about.

Thanks for talking, Rach.

That was awesome.

You're a savage.

How was that savage?

What do you mean, how was that savage?

That was awesome, dude.

I was like...

I did that in my head just so you know.

Okay, perfect.

Perfect.

Rachel and I are officially working
together.

And that's great for me because I finally
get a break from the block.

Do I love that Vince is up there?

Absolutely not.

But I fully support her decisions.

Knowing how pivotal this week is...

I hope so.

I'm telling you, this is the week that the
game changes.

I'm telling you.

I'm not gonna get...

I'm not gonna get too ahead of myself.

Kiana said that my speech was savage.

Was it savage?

I wouldn't say savage.

That's what I said.

It was an iconic moment in our season for
sure.

I'm really relieved Rachel didn't put me
on the block.

I know Rachel was upset that I told Mickey
that Rachel was feeling iced out.

Now Mickey's on the
block and I'm not and I get

to cautiously move
forward with trusting Rachel.

This is the pivotal week.

If Mickey goes home...

Yeah.

She wanted to make a big move and she did.

Who would you prefer to go up if someone
takes themselves down?

My fear is...

could be me.

I'm very bummed to
see Vince on the block

because he is my number
one ally in this house.

I feel like I'm not as close with Rachel.

I could be a fourth nominee if someone
were to come down.

So I'm not feeling totally comfortable
right now.

I'm scared.

Everybody's gonna touch the block at some
point.

Don't be scared.

I don't know.

We still gotta play tomorrow.

You okay?

I'm good.

How are you?

Girl, I'm good.

I was emotional just because I knew I was
next to you guys.

But, like, besides that, now I'm fine.

Because it's like, cool, like,
okay.

Like, you showed your cards.

Yes.

Got it?

Like, right now, like, obviously my heart's
kind of, like, pounding a little bit.

But if I go home, I go home next.

You know what?

We just gotta make sure one of us comes
down.

I mean, Vinny will have to go home,
unfortunately.

But it's not us.

It's not us.

It's not us.

At this point, my focus is honestly making
sure that I win the veto to bring myself

down so that it's not me and Morgan that
are sitting next to each other.

Rachel and I have been pretty cool up
until this point.

But now that she's drawn the line, she
definitely has a reason to be scared of me.

A big one.

You have to stay.

I have to stay.

This might sound weird coming from me,
but I don't know.

For some reason, I sometimes feel like I
don't really fit in.

I know my social game, that was what I was
going to be relying on when I first came

in the house because I didn't want to win
H.O.H.'s in the beginning.

And so, but it's hard because...

The conversations that's going on in this
house is wearing me down.

I would say 70% of the time, I'm not
thinking about what they're saying.

I'm a chatty person.

I'm a social butterfly, naturally.

You know what I mean?

So there's a lot of, mm-hmm, yeah,
what?

Right.

The only thing that I'm focusing on is
keeping my mental right because sometimes

it's hard when you see people act some
way.

It's hard, girl.

Sometimes I repeat their own words back to
them.

You don't know what's going on.

You don't know what's going on.

But I'm not really doing active listening.

I'm really doing passive listening,
and they don't realize that I just did it.

They are teenagers.

But my social game
with these kids apparently

is fire because they
constantly talk to me.

They talk about everything, but they talk
about nothing.

Happiness isn't money.

No, it's not.

And happiness is inside of your,
inside of your soul.

Absolutely.

While they're talking, I'm not really
listening.

I'm just envisioning myself in my
chocolate drop on a tropical beach

somewhere with a Mai Tai, counting ones
all the way up to 750,000.

That's what pushed me to go find my
happiness.

I'm always just like, what is that?

Yeah, what is it?

Yeah.

Oh, 100%.

It's working.

I'm still here.

They say patience is a virtue,
silence is a virtue.

I've had interactions
with people where I can

tell that they don't
care what I'm saying.

And then I just feel like, what?

I'm talking.

But sometimes I'm just like entirely away
from everyone.

What's wrong?

First, it's a game.

We're still good.

I know.

It was just shocking.

You could have given me a fair warning or
something.

Okay, I'm going to pee while I'm in here
too.

Rachel really disappointed me by
nominating Mickey.

And now I'm stuck in the middle between
the two of them.

When people wait to tell me stuff,
things like this is what happens.

I know Mickey is pissed
at Rachel, but I want

Rachel to believe that
this can all be fixed.

Do I believe this?

Heck no!

But for my game, I need them both.

And so, it was already too late to talk to
you.

Yeah.

And I felt like I didn't
want to come and

bother you because you
were having one-on-ones.

And I just wish you didn't put her up
because she was with us.

I mean, she's still with you.

She's a much better ally, I know, but
obviously I want us all to make it more.

If you saw how hurt she was that
you put her up... I know what I saw.

I saw her eyes.

She was really hurt.

I mean, did she care how hurt I was or
Jimmy was?

That happened.

I just hope you win the veto and maybe you
pull Mickey down.

And she's also a shield right now.

You can still make this right.

I know.

If you take her down.

Ashley is really surprised that I
dominated Mickey, but I feel like Ashley

should be happy that she's not on my,
like, target list.

I mean, look, Ashley and I
have been working together

forever, but now I know
where Ashley's loyalties lie.

Mickey is controlling all these newbies
and I don't know if I'm losing an ally.

All is not lost.

There's still a veto.

You could turn that into an opportunity to
win the veto.

To do a big move.

Yeah.

By trust.

But yeah, I'm going to
eat, but... Oh my gosh!

Oh my God!

Shut up!

Shut up!

We're like having a serious conversation.

With freaking toilet paper up my a*s.

I know!

You don't like me.

This is literally just a summer thing for
you.

Yeah, it is.

I can feel it.

I wouldn't call this a summer thing.

What is it?

A thing.

A thing?

A thing.

I'm developing real feelings for
Catherine.

And over the last few
weeks, I've been telling

her so much about how
much I care about her.

But I don't know where she stands.

And I don't just dip my toes in the water,
you know, I go in head first.

And I love giving somebody my heart.

But she might take my love for granted.

Hey.

Hey, girl.

I want to say that I like you a lot.

And I really care about you.

And just because I might be thinking a
little slower for my own personal reasons,

doesn't mean that I'm just doing this for
gigs.

I normally take six months to like
someone.

I'm like, I'm that type of person.

I just don't want to waste your time,
you know.

I don't want you to feel like you're
pressured into anything.

Just because I care about you.

I don't.

I know what I have to offer.

And I know I have a lot of love that I
could give you.

I know you do.

I have a lot of love for eternity to give
you.

I think it would probably help a little
bit maybe with Riley.

If I was slightly more vocal about my
feelings.

But I am more reserved with them.

Riley has a big heart.

And he speaks big.

But I think that's a vulnerability that
takes me more time to have.

And Riley has the beautiful quality of
being able to be a vulnerable person.

And hopefully I can learn that from him.

Six.

Riley.

I got my blinders on.

I know Kathryn cares about me.

I can tell by the way she looks at me.

And by the way she makes me feel
emotionally.

I just hope one day the words will come.

Are we good?

Promise?

Promise.

How are you doing?

I'm doing good.

I just wanted to talk to you.

Some time has gone by and I think I
definitely have calmed down a little bit.

Obviously my existence threatened Rachel.

So my thought process is making sure that
she knows that I would never come for her.

Letting her know that even though she
literally backstabbed me.

I would never even think about doing the
same to her.

Basically I'm doing some very professional
a*s kissing.

Seeing my face on that wall.

I'm not upset.

I'm a little disappointed obviously.

And just the trust, if that makes sense.

I respect your game and I respect you
Mickey.

Thank you.

So much as a person.

The decision I made
was truly based off of I

don't know where we
stand 100% of the time.

I don't want us to be at this point where
it's like Rachel versus Mickey.

And then who benefits?

Everyone else in the house, right?

No, of course.

Mickey is really well connected in this
house.

And she has people including Ashley going
to bat for her.

I don't want to go down the road where
we're targeting each other.

And everyone else is just getting a free
ride to the end.

Which that happened on Big Brother 12.

Matt Hoffman put up me and Brendan every
week.

Rachel and Brendan, I've nominated you
both for eviction.

Every week it was just like a back and
forth between us.

And the only people it benefited were
Hayden, Lane, and Enzo.

Final three.

Final three to Brigade.

Best alliance ever, man.

At the end of the day, I do take my past
Big Brother experiences into consideration.

I believe in fresh starts.

If I come down...

I'm not coming for you.

You're not my target.

I would have never thought coming for you.

And I would have never thought in a million
years we would be coming for each other.

But you know what?

That's just news.

I want you in this game.

And I need you in this game.

To be honest, if I did win the veto, there
is a chance that I might use it on Mickey.

And if I can strike a
deal with Mickey and trust

her, then that might help
my game in the future.

I'd have to win the veto first.

But this is my HOH.

If I win the veto, then I can do with it
as I please.

Well, thanks for talking to me.

No, thanks for talking to me.

I still love you.

You know that.

I love you so, so much.

Rachel's telling me that she doesn't want
to go to w*r with me.

And I agree.

I wouldn't want to go to w*r with me
either.

But I am definitely an advocate of
forgiving and never forgetting.

And I will never forget that she put me on
the block.

And after I win this veto, I can figure
out how I'd like to return the favor.

She's gotta go.

Go ahead and slay.

You know, that's my favorite thing to do.

How are you doing?

So, what are you thinking about,
like, moving forward in the game?

We already established we're not always
going to see eye to eye, and that's okay.

But, full disclosure, we can run the rest
of this game, I'm telling you.

Rachel and I have had a rollercoaster of a
relationship.

I tried to be your friend.

But you want to go to w*r with me,
then go to w*r with me.

I told you I love you as a person.

Stop harassing me.

You're obsessed with me.

I'm harassing you?

You are obsessed with me.

We're like those siblings that used to
bicker when we were teenagers.

But now we're grown, and we've come out
the other side stronger than ever.

I have my opinions, and I
may see things differently than

you, but at the end of the
day, I do value your opinion.

I have a unique
opportunity to learn from

one of the best people
to ever play the game.

I'd be dumb not to take it.

As your big brother coach,
if you assume something

in the house, you have
to believe it to be true.

Okay.

You can't throw competitions, period.

Well, I'm definitely not.

My reads aren't all horrible.

There's some of them are... bad.

Ultimately, the enemies have
officially become friends, so I

feel like it's only right if we
call ourselves the frenemies.

We have such a good thing going right now.

I would much rather it's me and you in
those chairs at the end.

I just need to know that
you are with me over anybody

else, and that you're
not going to frenemy me.

We're the frenemies,
but Rachel, I'm telling

you right now, I'm not
going to betray you.

I feel like you're a straight sh**ter,
and I've got a good vibe, so...

Yes, Rachel, I will lock in a final two
with you.

Perfect.

Thank you, Keanu.

Thank you.

So, I want to work with Keanu for now.

He's a shield and a weapon for me.

But, like, I would be dumb
to bring Keanu to the final

two, because he would beat
me, because he's a compys.

But look, if he wants to bring me to final
two, like, great.

What am I going to say?

No?

Set it on fire.

Let's do it.

Frenemies.

What do I do if I get houseguest choice?

What does the game want, though?

Do you want to play?

Well... I do want to
play in this veto, but I'm

not exactly sure what I
would do with it if I won.

If I use the veto on Vince, that could
anger Rachel and expose our final two.

But I do want to play and win to guarantee
my own safety.

But I don't want to pick you if that puts
you in a bad position.

Well, here's what I was thinking.

I don't know who's already known me.

I think it could be me.

That's why I could just pick you, and if
you win it, you're safe, you pull me off.

Then who cares what the read on this?

Yeah.

Lauren, I know it's early
in the morning, but you

need to wake up for the
day and wake up in this game.

If I am on the block, my
game's in jeopardy, you should

be more than happy to
play veto, win it, use it on me.

We have a final two.

The only way to make sure we get to that
point is to protect each other.

Whatever you seek.

As long as I'm not up against you.

Hey everyone, it's time to pick players
for the veto competition.

Let's go!

I'm hoping to pick Keanu for this veto
comp.

I mean, what's the point
of having a comp beast

as a henchman if you
don't put him to work?

As HOH, I will pick.

I'm really hoping that Will or Ashley get
picked to play this veto.

I know for a fact that
if they do win the veto,

they will use that for
me to be off the block.

Will.

Lauren seems extremely hesitant on whether
she would use the veto on me, but I'm

still hoping her chip gets picked because
if anyone were to take me off the block,

I really think it would be her.

Lauren!

I am so incredibly excited to be playing
in this veto competition.

I want to secure my safety this week, and
I do have the potential of saving Vince.

But that'll definitely
show my cards, so I'll

have to decide what
I want to do if I win it.

So only time will tell.

Big Brother will inform us of when the
competition is to begin.

Good luck!

Let's go, baby!

How do you feel, honestly?

I feel okay.

Like, I'm not scared.

I need to bring myself down if I can.

So I'm just gonna lock in and just try my
absolute best.

I got your back, girl.

I know.

Thank you so much.

Getting picked for the veto, I'm thinking
so many different scenarios because,

you know, I've been working with Rachel.

But at the end of the day, I'm going to go
hard for the veto.

And if I win the veto, I'm gonna take
Mickey down.

Because I've been working with her on a
closer level.

And I'm going to deal with whatever
repercussions with Rachel after the fact.

This cat is getting real.

I know.

I mean, not bad picks.

Everyone out there will, but I know Will
will use it.

Honestly, I don't get her.

Like, genuinely, I don't get her.

I think she's just hesitant.

She's hesitant to piss anyone off.

I should be excited because
Lauren, who I have a final

two with, just got picked to
play in the veto competition.

But Lauren hasn't
instilled a whole lot of

confidence in me that
she would use the veto.

So the best thing for me right now is to
just go out there and win the veto myself.

Now's my best opportunity.

Oh, yeah.

Freaking Otep!

I've never been so happy to be on the
block.

This is a legendary staple veto
competition in the Big Brother world.

I get to compete in another bucket list
competition.

Let's go.

No way we get to compete in this.

We meet again, Otep.

Otep, I have brought you Brendan Berry
Pie.

Finally, someone who just might be as
iconic as I am.

Otep!

Otep!

This is crazy.

Oh, wow.

Ah, you must be the stooges I've been
expecting.

Climb up here so I can get a better look
at you.

It's not wise to keep me waiting, unless
you want to be sleeping with the fishes.

Yeah, feed him to the fishes.

You're going to be fish food.

Sounds like me when I'm angry.

I guess Otep is some mafioso pig.

I don't know what this mob boss pig has
been up to.

Armed hoggery, pig napping.

I'm from New York, so I know better than
to speak on anything.

Kneel for Otep.

I'm Otep, the Hogfather.

And I'm Will Stinky.

God, stinky.

Ew.

Oh, my God.

The worst smell that I've ever smelled in
my entire life.

I'm gagging and trying to keep it down as
best as I can, but what the hell?

Like, whose idea was it for smells?

If you want a veto, you gotta do something
for me first.

Help me take care of my rat problem.

Yeah, this place is crawling with rats.

Now listen carefully.

Here's what I need you to do.

Pay attention, bozos!

In each round, I'll ask you losers to bring
me rats with the names of houseguests.

You'll slide down the ramp and search my
farm to find the correct rat.

Once you think you have the correct rat,
make your way back up the ramp,

kneel on a footstool, and present me with
the rat you've found.

Yeah, get him those rats!

I implore you to be quick,
because in each round,

there will be one less
footstool than players.

If you are the last one to bring me the
rat I asked for, or bring back the wrong

one, Lil' Stinky will make
sure you have a new

pair of concrete shoes
on your way out of here.

That's right, your a*s is grass!

So, let me make you an offer you can't
refuse.

The last one of you's remaining will take
home the golden power of veto.

Who's ready to play Otev the Hogfather?

Woo!

Let's go!

The Hogfather is right.

This place is crawling with rats.

So I want to win this veto, so I have all
the power.

I have all the power to decide what
happens this week.

There's a world where I
might take Mickey down and

broker some sort of deal to
work with her moving forward.

But the bottom line is, I want to be the
one making that decision.

I'm sitting next to two allies on the
block, Finny and Morgan.

So it's crucial that I win this veto.

I am a first-time block writer,
and I'll be honest, it is not cute here.

I am fighting for my life because I'm on
the block!

And I'm sitting next to my best friends.

I cannot go through another week like last
week.

So your girls got to go ham!

Get it?

I'm not concerned about Rachel putting me
up, but if I can win this veto,

it's an opportunity to save Mickey.

My main goal in this competition is not to
make a fool out of myself.

Now don't disappoint me, because I've got
plenty of cement to go around.

Yeah, you're getting a cement bath!

It feels horrible.

It's in my hair.

Well, it's on my head.

It's all over.

It's in every crevice that you can name.

So rude!

Oh, that was a party.

Round one.

Bring me the two rats that were both
evicted by exactly nine votes to evict.

Yeah, get the right rat!

Ah!

Otep wants the two rats that were both
evicted by nine votes.

And I immediately know that the correct
answers are Zay and Jimmy.

By a vote of five to nine, Zay, you
are evicted from the Big Brother house.

By a vote of nine to two, Jimmy, you
are evicted from the Big Brother house.

Ah!

It is so unbelievably
important for me to win

this competition, because
Lauren is my final two.

But I really don't know
if I can count on Lauren

to actually use the
veto on me if she wins.

And I also don't want to have to battle it
out against two of my other close allies

in Morgan and Mickey in the BB
Blockbuster.

So I need to win this for myself.

I'm not that tight with Rachel,
and frankly, she scares me.

So if I win, I can make sure that I stay
safe and potentially save Vince as well.

Wait.

This is huge.

I'm one of the first people up.

Now I'm just double-checking.

Oh, my God.

Adrian is not the right answer.

It's Jimmy.

I know I have the wrong answers,
and I have to get back out there.

You get into the molasses pit.

It's very, very sticky.

You get stuck.

It's kind of tough.

This is not like you're watching on
television.

Like, hell no.

I'm not the last one.

I'm up there before a couple of young
folks.

I can still get a*s sometimes.

Everyone is on a stump.

I'm crushed.

At this point, I am praying that someone
has the wrong answer.

What rats have you brought Otev to
Hogfather?

Hogfather, I brought you Zay and Jimmy.

Hogfather, I brought you Zay and Jimmy.

Jimmy and Zay.

Jimmy and Zay.

Zay and Adrian for some reason.

I don't know.

Morgan.

Oh, Hogfather, I have brought you Zay and
Jimmy.

The correct rats are Zay and Jimmy.

Sorry, Will.

You have been eliminated.

It's tough having one of your closest
allies on the block.

Now I have to hope that Mickey can win
this and save herself.

Here's round two.

Bring me the rat that is
the only evicted house

guest to win a BB
Blockbuster competition.

Otev wants the rat that is the only evicted
house guest to have won a BB Blockbuster.

Immediately, I know
the answer is Adrian,

because he was on the
block two weeks in a row.

He won the BB Blockbuster the first time.

Congratulations, Adrian!

He was evicted the very next week.

All I was focusing on in the first round
was looking for Zay and Jimmy,

so I have zero recollection
of coming across

any Adrian rats in any
of the different pools.

Nice job, Rachel.

I see Lauren, Rachel, and Morgan all
return with their pieces, and I know that

Mickey can find the Adrian rat at any
given moment, so I'm frantically searching.

Let's go, guys.

Come on.

There you go, Mick.

What rat have you brought, Otev the
Hogfather?

I brought you Adrian.

The correct rat is Adrian.

Sorry, Vince.

You have been eliminated.

The fact that I only
win two rounds playing

this competition is
so frustrating for me.

Now I'm just hoping that Lauren can win
herself, because maybe I can still

convince her that using the veto on me is
best for both of our games.

Lauren is not on the block.

She is not in danger.

Sis, if you're not going to use this veto,
why are you gunning so hard for it?

Let one of us win and take ourselves down.

Mickey, if you think I'm going to throw
Otev, you've got the wrong superfan.

And besides, if you come up off the block,
then I could be going up in your place.

Better move fast.

This stuff dries quickly.

Get him, Hogfather!

Oh, that went in my ear.

I know you're playing with me.

All right, all right.

Round three.

Bring me the two rats
that were evicted on the

same night Kelly won a
BB Blockbuster competition.

Yeah, get him those rats!

I

know for a fact that Zay
was eliminated the night

that Kelly kicked his
butt in a Blockbuster.

Zay, you are evicted from the Big Brother
house.

But I can't remember if Kelly beat Amy in
a Blockbuster.

I'm not sure.

Come on, ladies.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

I'm wet.

I'm sticky.

I've got cement in my eyes, trash,
molasses, mud.

It's like impossible to even get anywhere.

Come on, Lauren.

Look at Mickey.

Look at Morgan.

Do something, Lauren.

Come on.

Do something.

You know, it's a delight to keep the
Hogfather waiting.

You guys got no respect.

Move it!

Let's go.

Let's go.

Hustle.

Lauren!

I cannot find Zay's rat anywhere.

Good job, Lauren.

You got it, girl.

Careful, careful.

Lauren's already returned with her
answers.

Good job, Lauren.

I can't have one of my noms throwing a
wrench in my plans for this week,

so I have to find this rat and get up
there before them.

Otev wants the two
rats that were evicted on

the same night that Kelly
won a BB Blockbuster.

I do not want any of
my noms to have any

power this week, so
I've got to find this rat.

Rachel and Mickey and I are still looking
for our rats.

Mickey's my girl, but I have to win today.

Let's go.

There's a really high chance that I go
home if I don't.

Good job, Morgan.

I'm looking for Zay, and I cannot find him
anywhere.

I see Rachel's still searching.

Let's be honest.

I don't know what
Rachel's going to do with

the veto, but I know
what I'll do with it.

So I have to find Zay's name before she
does.

Hey, keep hustling.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Come on, Mick.

Keep going, Mick.

What rats have you brought Otev to
Hogfather?

I brought you Zay and Amy.

Hogfather, I've brought you Zay and
Adrian.

Hogfather, I have brought you Zay and Amy.

The correct rats are... Rachel
and Morgan have the same answer.

Now I'm really starting to worry that I
don't have this right.

Lauren has Adrian
and Zay, and I'm starting

to think that maybe I
got this answer wrong.

Adrian and Zay.

Congratulations, Kelly.

You have won this competition.

Adrian, you are evicted from the Big
Brother house.

Yeah, girl!

Good job, Lo!

Lauren!

Rachel, Mickey, Morgan, how's about you go
take the long sleep?

Go kick rocks!

Yeah!

Good job, girls!

Congratulations, Lauren.

You've brought honor to your family.

And you have won the golden power of veto.

Now get lost.

I've got to pay a friendly visit to the
piggy bank.

We're gonna rob it!

I just won OTEV!

And I am the veto holder this week.

I'm so excited!

I have this great power.

I might want to take Vince down since he
is my final two.

But that could definitely
ruffle some feathers

with Rachel, so I
need to figure this out.

Yeah, Lauren!

Playing in OTEV is amazing, but winning
OTEV is huge.

And I kept envisioning myself having the
veto around my neck.

And knowing that I don't.

And I'm still on the block.

It sucks.

This is definitely not a good feeling.

So Lauren wins, and aside from myself
winning, that was best case scenario.

Lauren is the only person who would even
consider using it on me.

So now all I have to do is pitch strong
points as to why it is the best game move

for both of us to have the veto used on
me.

I really wanted this veto so I could
potentially make a deal with Mickey to save her.

But now that Lauren has the veto,
that plan is shot.

I need those noms to stay the same because
I do not want to name a renom.

Bye OTEV!

Bye Hogfather!

How do you feel about Lauren winning it?

They are for sure going to try to convince
Lauren to use the veto on them.

Like, I'm going to follow Lauren around
like a puppy for the next two days.

Good strategy.

Like, I'm going to break up every
conversation that she's in.

If I had won the veto, I might have made a
deal with Mickey and used it on her.

But if Lauren uses the veto, it's not
going to help me with anyone in the house.

It's just going to make me piss someone
off by having to nominate them.

So I have to make sure that Lauren does
not use this veto.

Who would you put up?

Exactly, I have no one to put up,
so...

Yeah, she cannot use it.

She can't use it.

I feel like we, together, we
haven't gotten the chance

to actually talk about what
it means when Zach left.

I don't want to lose you in this game.

You know?

I told Zach that if he was to get evicted,
I would always take care of her, you know?

Because I know he wanted you to go really
far.

Morgan, what is the place with the apples?

Apple Valley.

No, not Apple Valley.

Like, the actual apples.

Like, it's in between Big Bear and Palm
Springs.

I know what you're talking about,
I just don't know the name.

Yeah, there's a lot I have to tell you.

Like, a lot.

Morgan, who?

Um... Girl, I'm on the block.

She has the veto.

Let me talk to Lauren, without you
interrupting me, every two seconds.

There's just a lot we have to talk about.

Yep, 100%.

Would you rather be a squirrel or a
monkey?

Stop interrupting me, please!

We should go in the pool.

Okay.

How are you doing?

I wanted to talk to you just because I know
that you have a very big decision to make.

At this point, I'm still not really sure
what I'm going to do.

I'm leaning towards...

Maybe.

Oh, sorry guys.

Hi!

Wine wear.

Sorry.

Where are the other wine glasses?

Um, I'm not sure, actually.

I, yeah, I don't know.

Okay.

Not on my watch.

So, uh, first of all, I am so happy we got
to compete in O-TEV.

I know.

If there's anyone who could've
won it, I'm so happy it was

you because I know that you
were geeking out on that too.

I was.

Since I wasn't able to win the veto, the
next best case scenario was Lauren winning.

I need to get to work now and make sure
that Lauren understands that her using the

veto on me, it is best for both of our
games long term.

So, I don't want to push hard or anything.

I know this is an important decision for
you.

But, I also want to be here in order to
help protect each other.

I will always save you over everyone.

You are still my number one in this game.

You have to understand that.

And I really want to take you off.

I just think Rachel will get really angry
at me.

I don't care about Rachel.

I'm sorry.

I think she'll get over it so fast.

She will not care as long as she gets one
of us three out.

It doesn't matter who.

I just don't want to be one of her
options.

Yeah.

If I were to use this veto, Vince is the
only one that I would consider using it on.

But, ultimately, I need to touch base with
Rachel to see what she would think about.

Because, I haven't felt like I've been a
target for her so far.

And I certainly don't want to start now.

It freaks me out.

Well, cheers.

Yay, to veto and A to H please.

Yay, to the winners of the week.

Ah, isn't that crazy?

I know.

I'm so excited.

But, I wanted to know kind of how you were
feeling.

I mean, it's your veto.

You won it.

And I'm really excited for you.

Thank you.

That's such a cool, monumental veto to
win.

I assume you and Vince are pretty close,
right?

Yeah, I would say we are.

Is that who you're thinking about using it
on?

I mean, yeah, I would consider it.

But, it's your HOH.

But, it's your veto.

You're so powerful in this game.

And I know you make your own decisions.

And that's why I would never tell you what
to do with your veto.

Do I want Lauren to use the veto?

Absolutely not.

But, if I were to pressure her, she might
do the opposite of what I want her to do.

So, I need to stroke her ego and be gentle
here.

I truly respect you.

And I think that you are such an amazing
woman.

Thank you, Rachel.

But, I appreciate you
saying that whatever my

decision is, you're going
to be good with it as well.

Because I respect you so much in this
game.

You know, you're Rachel Reddy.

I'm just thinking, if there were to be
another person up there, I don't want,

like, Riley and Kathryn or people that I'm
close to in this game.

I always say, protect the showman.

Yes, yes.

This conversation went surprisingly well.

She's open to the idea of me using the
veto.

And it doesn't sound like she would put up
any of my close friends or allies.

So, I'm seriously considering using the
veto this week.

I'm going to have conversations with
everybody else.

But, I do plan on, like, letting you know
where I'm at by the end of the day.

Whatever you decide to do.

If I need to make another nomination,
I can.

But, obviously, I don't prefer it.

Right.

Yeah.

How you doing?

Stressed, if you want my honest truth.

Stressed.

Lauren has the veto.

And it was obvious that both her and I
were very close to Zach.

I've been holding on to some information.

And I think right now is the time to tell
her.

I need this veto to be used.

So, this is my Hail Mary.

I swore to Zach that I would never tell
anyone this.

But, um... Zach could have
taken himself off the block.

When he won that
$10,000, he had the power

of bat or only worked
if he was on the block.

And whoever the active HOH was would have
gotten the money.

Oh, my God, Morgan.

I can't believe that.

I know.

He literally sacrificed his own game to
protect me and you.

That's insane.

And, like, I don't want you to feel like
I'm trying to tell you to use a veto on me.

But, um... Zach would have
wanted us to work together.

You know?

My gut is telling me that it's true.

But, obviously, this is an effort for me
to use the veto on her.

So, I gotta give it to her.

Sorry, it's not funny.

I'm just so confused.

Perception-wise, I
think the only logical

thing to do would be
maybe to use it on Vince.

And to hope that a renom would be a bigger
threat than both of you.

Hello, I don't want to be on the block.

But if she does use it on Vince,
Rachel will have to put up a new person.

And, hopefully, it's a huge target.

And that way, in the blockbuster,
Mickey or I can win.

And we can both stay another week in the
house.

It's just really hard because I know if
I'm sitting on that block and go home.

Yeah.

So...

Okay.

At this point, I am, like, heavily
considering using it on him.

Like, what do you think about that?

Well, I mean, I kind of wish you would
have told me earlier.

Okay.

Because renomming a fourth nominee is a
hard decision.

Yeah.

I mean, I didn't really give anyone a
chance to talk to me about renoms.

Yeah.

I'm just so frustrated with this whole
situation.

I think it would be very wise for Lauren
to heavily reconsider this.

It's, like, so ridiculous.

I mean, obviously, I don't want you to use
it.

But, like, have you already made up your
mind?

Rachel told me that she would respect my
decision, whatever I do.

But her energy is not giving that.

It's extremely intimidating.

It scares me.

I don't want to be on Rachel's bad side.

So maybe I need to take the night and
think about this.

I'm really sorry.

Okay.

I'm sorry, Rachel.

It's okay.

I really am.

It's okay.

Thanks for letting me know.

Yeah, of course.

Okay.

So, I talked to Lauren.

And she essentially wants to use the veto.

Okay.

On you.

Okay.

Oh, well, hello, Queen.

What's going on?

I just... I don't know.

What's the matter?

I feel bad.

Don't let her gaslight you, Lauren.

This is a game.

Do not let her gaslight you.

I'm making a decision that you want to do.

The only other thing, she's going to be
annoyed no matter what.

So you might as well do what you want to
do, not let her.

Oh, hey.

Hey.

What's going on?

We're just chatting about if she were to
use the veto.

Obviously, the two of us are on the block,
so...

Okay.

So, what's the thought?

I'm just, like, trying to weigh the
options.

Well, you're a big girl.

You don't need other people to tell you
what to do.

Yeah, I know.

I told her, I was like, you just do what's
best for your game.

Yeah.

Whether you use it or not.

Why don't you just take time to think
about it?

Yeah.

You don't need us convincing you.

You're right.

Let me go brush my teeth.

Just take some time.

Real classy, guys.

What's classy?

Rach, we weren't trying to...

Of course I'm going to ask her to use a
veto on me.

Rachel, we're not doing anything that's,
like, sneaky or out of the ordinary.

I'm just... Manipulating.

I want my friend to use a veto on me.

That's not manipulation.

Yeah, but you can't push Lauren into using
a veto on you.

No, no, I'm not pushing her on anything.

You guys are literally pushing her into
doing something she doesn't want to do.

What the hell was that?

I don't think I did anything unethical or
unclassy.

She's trying to spin a narrative and make
it seem like we're the bullies here.

No, him and I were just talking about the
options.

She came in after us.

It was literally just us two talking about
the possibilities.

I mean, I just hope that you wouldn't make
a 22-year-old girl cry.

No.

I would never.

Because it's better for your game.

I'm not that kind of person.

I think you know that.

If anyone is making Lauren be on the verge
of tears, that's you, girl.

It ain't us!

So, projection is kind of crazy,
isn't it?

I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do,
I guess, right?

Morgan and Vince are, like, pressuring
Lauren to use the veto.

Yes, I'm positive.

And now, Lauren's gonna use the veto.

And I have to put a beret on.

What are you gonna do?

I don't even know.

Who do you think is the least impactful
for your game?

Honestly, if I'm gonna do it, I'm just
gonna blow the house up.

I know what they're doing.

They're trying to, like, work their little
magic, pressuring her into using a veto.

So, fine.

You know what?

At this point, if these little newbies
want to mess with me, why don't we just

cause the most chaos that we can and see
what happens?

If they want chaos, I might as well just
give it to them.

Hey, I was just about to come up there.

Oh, good.

Perfect.

The veto meeting is moments away from
beginning.

And as of last night, Lauren still has not
decided what she's doing with this veto.

I've tried being nice.

Clearly, I need to apply a little more
pressure.

I think at this point, I'm leaning towards
using it.

Is that okay?

I don't want you to use it because I don't
know who I'm gonna put up.

Okay.

They might be your ally.

I don't know.

Do you want to work with me?

Yeah.

Moving forward, I feel like this is a great
time to show that you want to work with me.

I just feel like if I take
him down, then I guarantee

his safety and we can still
come together in that way.

Why don't you do your makeup
so you don't... Okay, yeah.

I need to go get my moisturizer from
downstairs really quick.

I'll go grab some really fast.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Like, I don't know what I'm doing.

I don't know if I'm gonna use it or not.

You're okay.

Breathe.

But she's like, I still don't know who I'm
gonna put up.

It might be one of your closest allies.

I think she's bluffing.

She's bull... She's
trying to strike fear in you.

She's coming down.

She's coming down.

I can't be seen in here with you.

Is this you frantically getting ready?

Yeah, I don't know.

I'm literally gonna freak the f... out.

I don't know why I can't make any f...
decisions.

In my opinion, I think it's best not using
it.

I wouldn't risk it.

And if that means using it, then use it.

If it means it doesn't, then don't.

Okay, hey, sorry.

Oh, that's okay.

I'm just grabbing my deodorant.

Okay, I'm going back upstairs.

Okay, perfect.

Liz Taylor!

Oh, my God.

Hey, Rachel.

I think I'm gonna use it.

I just think I have to.

Okay, well, Lauren, I'm gonna put up
Riley.

Okay.

The only people that Lauren said she didn't
want going up were Riley and Catherine.

And between the two, Riley is the much
bigger threat.

So if Lauren does this, she'll have his
blood on her hands.

That's a risk that you're taking by taking
Vince down.

I'm sorry, Rachel.

I think that's a big mistake.

And I feel like you're
making a choice right

now that could jeopardize
your other friends.

Hearing that Riley could be a potential
renom is like a gut punch.

I honestly think that she's bluffing and
trying to get me not to use the veto.

But if she's not, if he goes up, I don't
want him and Catherine to be upset with me.

Especially because Catherine told me not
to use the veto.

But if I don't use it, I could risk Vince
going home this week.

Oh, my God.

I really don't know.

I respect your decision, but the decision
I make is because of what you're doing.

Okay?

Okay.

Hey, everyone.

It's time for the veto meeting.

This is the veto meeting.

Vince, Morgan, and Mickey have been
nominated for eviction.

But I have the power to veto one of the
nominations.

I have decided...

to use the power of veto on Vince.

Rachel, since I have just vetoed one of
your nominations for eviction,

you will have to name a new house guest as
a replacement nominee.

I think there are turning points in every
Big Brother game.

There are times when we look around the
room and realize that people are always

going to do what's best for their game,
right?

So at this point, I have to make that hard
decision.

Unfortunately...

Riley, take a seat.

I'm sorry.

Lauren chose Vince.

This veto meeting is adjourned.

At the end of the day, I had to
use the veto on Vince because

I couldn't risk losing him
like I lost Zach last week.

But I never thought that Rachel would
actually put Riley up.

Riley and Catherine are like my favorite
people in here.

And I'm scared that by Rachel putting
Riley up, they are going to blame it on me.

I feel sick over it.

I am literally the last person that wants
to break up a showmance.

But Lauren left me no choice.

I'm intent on getting a big target out on
my HOH.

And now with these three up there,
that's definitely going to happen.

I'm done playing scared.

It's time for people to make big moves.

The training wheels are off and it's time
to play Big Brother.

I do not know what Rachel is thinking
putting me on the block right now.

I mean, are you crazy?

If I go home this week, I will not see
Catherine for the rest of the summer.

And there is no way in hell I am letting
that happen.

So this blockbuster is mine.

There's no way I'm losing this.

And Rachel, you better
stand on all ten toes

because anything is
possible in this game.

You just proved that to me this week.

Will the Cowboy conquer the BB Blockbuster
and earn safety?

Or will Mickey or Morgan escape the block?

Plus, who will be the next sent packing?

Find out tomorrow night at 8, 7 central.

Live on Big Brother!
