NARRATOR: Previously on "Big "Brother,"
Rachel came for the crown.
Congratulations, Rachel!
You are the new Head of Household.
I'm back, b*tches!
NARRATOR: And she shook up the game with her nominees.
I have nominated you Vince, Morgan, and Mickey.
NARRATOR: After Lauren obliterated OTEV--
Congratulations, Lauren.
You have won the Golden Power of Veto.
NARRATOR: --she decided to save her BB BFF.
I have decided to use the Power of Veto on Vince.
NARRATOR: Leaving Rylie a nom chair cowboy.
Rylie, take a seat.
NARRATOR: Vince was torn between allies--
I reassured Rylie that he is guaranteed
safe, no matter what.
But if Mickey wins Block Buster,
and Morgan and Rylie are sitting next to each other,
that would be terrible.
NARRATOR: --and then found himself in a new alliance.
[whispering] We think we could work
together and make an alliance. - [whispering] This.
[quietly] i would love that.
[quietly] We could be the Judges because we
decide who goes home.
That's savage.
NARRATOR: At the BB Block Buster, Mickey was mighty--
JULIE: Congratulations, Mickey.
You are now officially off the block.
NARRATOR: --leaving the gamer versus the rodeo star.
JULIE: By a vote of five to four, Morgan, you are safe.
Rylie, you are evicted from the "Big Brother" house.
NARRATOR: And the cowboy rode off into the sunset.
Tonight, it's the fallout from Rylie's emotional exit.
[crying] Oh, my God.
[sobs]
NARRATOR: Plus, the epic wall competition.
Who will endure this BB classic to become
the new Head of Household?
And three more houseguests will hit the block.
But kicking things off is an all new "Big Brother Unlocked,
where Taylor and Derrick and special guest Boston
Rob break down the drama.
Then, we drop in on Will's family.
And a TV legend has some big news.
The supersized BB Sunday start right now on "Big Brother."
JULIE: Rylie, I'm sorry, but we need you to leave.
Hey, everyone.
Welcome to a supersized episode of "Big Brother."
We're kicking tonight off with a special episode
of "Big Brother Unlocked."
And here with us is reality TV royalty.
He's a "Survivor" winner, the first five-time "Survivor"
player, a two-time "Amazing Race,"
and maybe one day, we can convince him to take
a shot at "Big Brother."
It's Boston Rob Mariano.
What's up, brother? - Thanks, man.
That's quite the introduction. DERRICK: Yeah!
I'm excited to be here.
We're excited to talk to you.
We know you're watching the season,
but you're not exactly a super fan of it all.
No.
You know, I have some favorites from the old school days.
I remember watching Janelle play.
I love watching Rachel Reilly.
I'm excited to watch her play this season.
And I'm tuned in right now.
What similarities or differences do you see between
"Survivor" and "Big Brother."
I know you as a gamer, you're looking at it
like, how would I do this? - You've been around the block.
I have.
And the truth is, strategically, there are
lots of similarities, right?
The meta game and like, the alliance building,
and the number one thing is adapting to your situation
when things don't go your way.
The obvious differences are we're not on an island.
We're not starving.
The other big difference is on "Survivor,"
there's two different tribes.
So you're managing only to people at a time.
DERRICK: True.
In "Big Brother," it's all on, all the time.
Being locked up in the house all summer
long would be more difficult for me, personally.
Before we really dive in, we got some breaking news.
After Rylie's eviction, the house was in meltdown mode,
and Vince was doing damage control.
Let's take a look.
[whimpering] I'm done.
I can't take it anymore.
I can't take people being in my head.
I can't take people lying to me.
I-- I-- I can't take it.
I'm just-- I'm over this game.
[quietly] The only deciding factor that tore me up
is that two weeks ago, he said he was gonna put you
on the block next to Rachel.
He told you he was gonna put me on the block?
Did he really?
[crying] Yeah.
[sniffling]
Why is everyone crying so much on this show?
- OK, listen-- - Do you cry on "Survivor?"
No.
No, there's no crying on "Survivor."
What are we on, day at this point?
I was in there, man.
About day , day , I was underneath the sheets,
crying every single day.
And I said, never.
I'll never cry.
But here, you have a whole week of just learning
about these people as-- as like, actual people,
not just gamers.
So when they go, you're literally
taking away their dream.
If you care about them.
I feel you.
But like, everybody was good before we came into the house
before the summer.
And now, we're in full meltdown mode.
Heroes versus villains.
Guess what he was. - Villain?
Shocker.
Rob, you've been keeping up with the season.
Yes.
So we are gonna introduce you to something we like
to call Big Move, Bad Move.
Yeah, so we take a look at the last two weeks.
And we see if the moments were a big move,
meaning it was good for the person's game, or a bad move.
And first off, we have Rachel drawing a line in the sand
during her nomination ceremony.
This is Revved Up Rachel.
I have nominated you Vince, Morgan, and Mickey.
Vince, if you're the gardener in this house,
Morgan's planting seeds.
To be completely honest, the two of you
have been trying to run this game since the beginning.
And, Mickey, you are right along with them.
I love you all, personally.
But in this game, I can't allow you to control it.
This nomination ceremony is adjourned.
I love a diva.
I love a diva!
The outfit, the hair, the sass, and the perfect nominations.
Rachel is putting the exact people
up on the block who need to be there at the exact right time.
This is a big move for me.
I agree.
I mean, Rachel has always had the flair for the dramatic.
But I feel like, in this spot, as someone that's come back
into a season as a veteran player
with a bunch of other people, that target
is gonna be illuminated.
They're gonna come after her regardless.
So I feel like it's OK for her to exert in that kind of way.
I liked it.
I'm gonna take it a step further.
Yes, I do agree with you both.
It's a big move. It was the right targets.
But let's not forget they know that she put them on the block.
And all three of those targets are still in the house
right now.
They are.
So I'm actually gonna go bad move, just to change it up.
Well, next up, Vince is stuck between protecting
Rylie or standing with his new alliance, The Judges.
We call this one Judges' Dread.
[whispering] Think about the position that I'm in.
If I evict Rylie, Mickey, Will, Ava,
Rachel, Ashley, those five would evict me the first chance
they get.
And I'm the first one out every single time.
No matter who I'm sitting next to, I am gone.
[whispering] Having Rylie and Keanu connected,
they are way too powerful.
You can't turn your back on the alliance.
With this new alliance, they want to make sure that Rylie
is gone, priority number one.
Too big of a threat, showmance.
But guess what.
Rylie would never put me on the block.
I'm guaranteed to make four to five people happy
and absolutely piss off four to five people on the other side
by not voting the way they wanted me to.
JULIE: Please cast your vote to evict.
Um-- I'm so sorry, man.
I vote to evict Rylie.
So he chose to evict Rylie and stick with Morgan.
Big move or bad move?
I like the way Vince is playing.
I think he's, you know, got his hand
in a lot of different alliances with a lot of different people.
However, he's made a definitive line
in the sand where he has one group on one side
and one group on the other.
And it's tough because like, he is going to alienate
whoever he doesn't go with.
So I'm going to go off script here.
And I'm going to say it's not a big move,
but it's not a bad move.
This is somewhere in the middle.
It's the game that he chose to play
by making all these alliances, getting in all these final twos
beyond that.
He's not setting himself up to be
able to make the big move or the bad move
because he's covered, either way.
Now, if I really have to pick one, I'd say it's a big move.
But I can't say it's the best move.
No.
I mean, "Big Brother," "Survivor," it's a lot of luck.
Sometimes, the ball falls your way.
Sometimes, it doesn't.
So tonight, if you have someone like an Ava
or you have someone like a Will or a Keanu win,
I think that he's going to be safe.
But if it's someone else, he could be in trouble.
Rob, as you can see the strategy in the "Big Brother"
house will switch up all the time.
But let me ask you, do you think
living in the "Big Brother" house would be a vacation?
I don't know if it would be a vacation for me.
I mean, look at what it does to these people
after only a couple of weeks.
You might just double down on that decision.
This piece, we call The Rant Room.
Now, this "Big Brother" house is big nasty.
We live in squalor.
Nobody knows what a broom and dustpan is,
except for me and Kelley and sometimes Rachel.
Why is it such a "anonamaly" to know
that you're supposed to dust?
I honestly haven't even looked on the ground where
I sit sometimes, because I'm afraid I'm
going to see toenails.
And I'm pretty sure that there are a pair of panties
that have been sitting on the floor in our bedroom
for the past week.
I don't think there's a dry towel in this house.
And if it is a dry towel, it's not a really dry towel.
It's just a towel that was used that is on the floor.
I've had to dry off with a freaking rag three
times already in this house.
People don't understand that the dishwasher
is actually meant to be used.
People will genuinely leave half eaten
sandwiches on the counter.
Leaving nasty a*s food on their plates,
throwing it in the sink.
Especially if it's cereal.
And they wonder why we got ants and fruit flies.
We have an aggressive infestation of ants.
This house was built on top of ant city.
I've definitely drank a couple ants in my
coffee already.
Sometimes, I'll be having conversations with people,
and I'll just see an ant crawling on them.
They are here, and they're here to stay,
and they refuse to go.
America, this is what I'm dealing with.
Holy [muted], that's a lot of ants.
DERRICK: When Rachel gets out of the house,
I want someone to ask her what was harder, raising her kids
or raising Keanu?
That's true.
That's a good one.
I do like the relationship between Rachel and Keanu,
though. It's fun.
It's entertaining to watch, considering
♪ where they started and where they are now-- #frenemies--
I like it.
We gotta talk about our next clip.
Will had a typical start for the old
guy in the "Big Brother" house, on the block week after week.
But over the last month, he's really turned his game around.
I love Will.
I do.
I think he's playing a great game.
He has everybody coming to him for, you know, counsel.
Well, we sent our "BB Unlocked"
camera crews down to North Carolina to check
in on this family man.
What do Gwen and his grandkids think about how he's doing?
I could not imagine being with anyone but Brendon.
I knew I was gonna marry Gwen.
She is my everything.
RACHEL: She's like your person in every way.
She's definitely my person. RACHEL: Yeah.
Without a doubt, my person.
Everybody get in position now!
Go!
I'm Gwen.
And I'm Will's wife, his chocolate drop.
Family selfie.
Papa!
I met Will at work.
I went up to him first.
God said, there goes your husband.
Walk over there and meet him.
And look, here we are.
God don't make no mistakes.
Will and I have a blended family.
He has three kids.
I have two.
She hit that spin move!
And we also have nine grandkids.
We're going to draw pictures for Pop-Pop, OK?
These grandkids have their Pop-Pop
wrapped around their little bitty finger.
He loves spoiling them and letting them have their way.
Is Pop-Pop gonna win?
Yeah!
Yeah, let's go!
Will picked a great time to be gone to "Big Brother."
We had already made commitments to watch
our grandkids this summer.
Is that for Pop-Pop?
That's a heart?
Two weeks out of this summer without Will, with six kids--
you could have called me Betty Crocker and Molly the Maid.
What is this?
Cucumber!
Puffs, you should know what a cucumber and a zucchini is.
So we gonna all watch Pop-Pop, OK?
Hey, Julie.
Hi, Julie.
[laughter]
JULIE: Will, am I your lemon drop, then?
Watch it, Julie!
Watch it!
Good morning, Gwen.
[singing] Miss you like crazy
Miss you like crazy
Miss you like crazy
The longest I've ever gone without seeing Will
has been five days.
Oh, boy.
And so for me not to be able to share everything
with him at this moment, that's one thing that I struggle with.
And I see that he struggles with it, too.
WILL: She loves playing dress up with me.
That's why I call her my stylist.
Babe, you got so many other outfits in there.
Wear them, please!
I'm making a new meal.
Look at you! OK.
Gwen's watching, and she's like, you know?
Yeah, she's like, don't bring [muted] back home.
[laughter]
Yeah, that's my husband.
He doesn't cook.
I do.
I'm years older than you.
And I'm years older than Lauren.
That's a lot.
Yeah.
The first couple of weeks, he was struggling.
He feels like he doesn't fit in.
Of course, you don't.
Because you feel like you're hanging
out with your kids all day.
I can hear the grandkids.
What Pop-Pop did now? He in timeout.
What did he do?
When my husband was on the block those two times,
he knows how to adapt and overcome.
I knew he was going to get it together and keep it moving.
I could see Will using his military tactics
while in the house.
He's been processing, gathering his information,
learning who to trust.
So I have all the faith in the world
that he can make it to the end.
What would you want to do with the money, Will?
I would give my kids some money,
finish paying off our house.
Pop-Pop, we miss you.
We love you.
And don't worry, I'll teach you about zucchini and cucumbers.
Wow.
That's amazing.
That's the sweetest thing ever,
all these "Big Brother" big families coming around here.
I'm sure you can relate with you and Amber as well.
Because, were you on every season together?
We played two seasons together,
the season we met, and then the All-Winner season.
Showmances on television never work out.
Yeah.
It's only been years.
Well, will Will become a legend?
Only time will tell.
But someone who's already cemented their BB legacy
and someone who's back tonight, that's "BB "
winner, Nicole Franzel.
She's offering her own special toast
and roast of the last two weeks,
with Nicole's Wine or Whine?
Hey, it's Nicole.
Welcome back to Wine or Whine?
Keanu, I gotta toast to you.
He was on the block four weeks in a row
and took himself off three times with a Veto and one time
with a Block Buster.
Amazing.
I have to whine about Vince because he has all the makings
of a "Big Brother" winner.
But he's been on the block the last two weeks,
and his houseguests are on to him.
It's way too early for that.
He needs to turn that ship around.
I'm gonna toast to Lauren for winning OTEV.
Absolutely amazing.
And I once said--
Stop playing Big Baby.
Let's play "Big Brother," and let's do some big game moves.
And Lauren, you are definitely playing "Big Brother"
by going against the HOH, using your Veto, and taking down
your top ally with the Veto.
Cheers to that.
Oh, and speaking of big baby, I know I am raising my glass
to you, but this isn't wine.
This is grape juice.
Because Victor and I are excited
to announce we're having another "Big Brother" baby.
I'm pregnant!
Woo!
We're so excited.
- Wow. - Cutie, oh my God!
Wow.
Congrats to Nicole and Victor.
She's good.
She's got "Big Brother" baby.
She got "Reindeer Games" win.
She got her own full season win.
I mean, you want to talk about the "Big Brother"
gauntlet, she's done it.
I mean, how many babies do you think have
been born under CBS's watch?
More than probably "The Bachelor."
Lots, for sure.
DERRICK: That's for sure.
And hey, you know what else is awesome, Derrick?
The wall comp.
This is the legendary competition
that can change everything, and it happens tonight.
When we come back, we'll reveal the wall,
and we're gonna give it a shot.
Plus, we still have The Hot List.
It's going to be good.
But before we go to break, we're
giving you a little behind the scenes look at the houseguests'
morning routine, thanks to a segment we're calling
The Cutting Room Floor.
[rooster crowing]
[snoring]
What you don't know about the BB house
is that every morning, we wake up,
we have to get on out of bed, and we have to immediately
change our battery packs.
"Big Brother" also plays music.
So it's the one time we get to shake some booty,
shake your tail feather.
Whatever it is, we do it.
Oh, yes!
[quick tempo music]
RYLIE: Go, Rachel.
Go, Rachel, go.

♪ - Me making conversation with my sleep paralysis demon, #BB
Is that eggy Vinny?
DERRICK: Oh, man.
That's actually incredible.
That might have been one of the best costumes
I've seen in a long time. - No, it's my favorite.
That was good.
It's a shame he didn't get evicted in it.
But, you know, I'm glad Vinny is still around.
Because I needed somebody to go onto my hot list.
It is time for something we call The Hot List.
Let's find out who the houseguests on top this
week are.
You see that, HOT--
we're smart.
I see what you did there.
Boston Rob said I'm smart.
I'm feeling good.
Intern Andy!
Oh, my God.
Am I coming through?
Jerry O'Connell here.
Sorry to interrupt, Taylor.
I'm on vacation.
I'm on a beautiful lake.
I-- I just had to call in because I want
to do another segment of mine.
Terrible Take!
Hit it.
Yeah.
So, Derrick, I really wanted to call in because your so-called
"hot list" from last episode was some of the worst takes
in the history of television.
Let's take a look.
First off, let's start with our number spot, Morgan.
Number , we got Vince.
And a surprise because you're probably
saying Vince at number ?
Who's at number ?
I'm putting Zach.
I'm putting Zach. So, yes.
This is gonna shock a whole lot of people.
But Derrick, I agree with you.
But I can't be too mad it.
Let's go, let's go.
TAYLOR: All right, all right, all right.
Derrick, what are you thinking?
Like, what are you thinking?
Your boy, your number pick, Zach, went home last week,
Vince hanging on by the skin of his teeth,
and Morgan almost went home on Thursday.
What are you doing, man?
I hope I seriously never end up on your "hot list," Derrick.
And, Taylor, you know what?
You are not allowed to gloat, OK?
No!
Because you agreed with Derrick.
I was being nice!
Seriously, the two of you are champions.
Step it up.
All right, Boston Rob, let's hear what your top three are.
The floor is yours.
Pick carefully.
So, listen, this is the part of the show where I take over.
DERRICK: Yes, do it.
And I'm gonna handle The Hot List tonight.
But before-- before I give you them, can you explain yourself?
What is that all about?
So see, that's how astute I am to this game.
Because I knew the best players in there, and they did as well.
So kudos to the houseguests because they picked up on it.
Glad we're on the same team.
That seems like a weak-- a weak comeback.
Taylor, do you anything to say for yourself?
- I was trying to be nice. - OK.
DERRICK: Let's see if you can do better.
Let's see. - Without further ado--
Please.
--we're gonna start with my man, Vince.
DERRICK: OK.
All right.
So the guy who's on my list?
Well, he was on your list, but that was last week.
OK, OK.
And I'll tell you why.
Vince has lots of different alliances
with different people.
He was able to get himself off the block
with somebody else using the Power of Veto against him.
I think he's playing a good game.
I'd like to see a little bit less crying,
if we're being honest.
I think we all would.
But I think Vince is up there.
For number , Rachel Reilly.
Oh!
OK.
I feel like Rachel has, from the very beginning,
had a huge target on her.
But she is figuring out different ways to stay alive.
And in this game, you have to adapt.
You have to figure out different ways to play.
And she's getting it done.
She's still there.
Number --
I gotta hear this.
--my top spot is the guy I love the most, my man Will.
All right.
I can't disagree with that one.
Will has played a phenomenal game.
Will has a lot of people coming to him, giving him information.
Nobody's actively targeting Will.
Nobody wants to get Will out right away.
And I feel like his experience--
being a dad, a granddad--
I think that's going to serve him well in this game.
I do love that you have Rachel up there.
You're right.
Rachel made a huge move this week,
and she ended up getting the numbers more in her favor.
She has a solidified alliance.
She can go a lot further than I think a lot of us--
I mean, we didn't even put Rachel
on either of our draft teams. - No.
TAYLOR: And look at her this week.
I-- you know, listen, I disagree.
I think Rachel was pitching the showmance idea
to Rylie and Katherine, and then
she went and backstabbed that.
I think ultimately, she has a lot of enemies in the house.
Unless we have Ava or Will win the HOH tonight,
I think Rachel is on the block.
I think Rachel will be on the block.
But I think Rachael's gonna find a way
to get herself off the block. - We'll see.
Yeah.
Right here, we'll see if she pulls it off.
I don't like winners that don't face adversity.
I'm pulling for the Old School.
Let's go, Rachel.
Guys, The Hot list could change significantly,
depending on who wins HOH tonight.
It is the wall, and we are going
to head over to the BB backyard to check it out for ourselves.
But before that, our own intern, Andrew,
got a firsthand look at how this competition all
comes together.
Gavin, good to see you.
Andrew, thanks for coming by.
Tell us all about this year's wall competition.
GAVIN: This year, we're on the Mystére Express.
feet wide, we're feet tall,
a complete structure is about tons.
How much slime do you fire in an average game?
We go through about gallons of slime.
We actually need to run a test tonight, if you're
interested in hopping up.
I would love to.
Goggles, please.
It's exciting.
I'm the king of the wall!

Gavin, thank you for your time.
Derrick and Taylor, back to you.

But in real life, it's pretty impressive.

I knew that was coming. - It got me.
Oh, man, this brings back so many memories.
Right now, the houseguests are right on the other side
of that wall, just chomping at the bit
to come out here and play.
And there's so much game left to play.
And they're dying to come and play this comp.
Any predictions, Rob?
I'll tell you what.
I think this favors the small girls, lightweight.
I'm going with Lauren for the win.
DERRICK: OK, predictions.
Well, the game rolls on.
There's houseguests left to play.
We've got an HOH to crown.
The Sunday show starts right now.
- Let's go! - Let's do it.
I'm gonna beat you, boys.

I'm just not gonna have like, any peace.
I have to be on my toes constantly now.
I have five people I want out of here.
And if I could nominate them all at the same time, I would.
Hello, the vote was five to four.
What vote this season has gotten any closer than that?
Terrifying.
Oh, this game is making me so crazy, it's not even funny.
Because I had to send someone home that I cared so deeply
about, to keep someone else that I care about,
who honestly hasn't been the best
alliance member because she was so focused on Vinny.
I was blindsided with Adrian.
And now, I've been blindsided again
by Vince with the Rylie vote.
I'm just so mad.
You're fine.
[whispering] I'm sorry, Keanu.

My HOH reign this week definitely showed the newbies
how to play the game.
I got out a huge player.
I've forced Keanu to work with me.
I broke up the showmance.

Class is in session, and these newbies
should all be taking notes.
Rylie going home sucks.
Like, I wasn't mentally prepared for that
to possibly happen.
He wasn't just a number to me.
He was my best friend in the house.

And you build such close personal relationships.
I knew Rachel is a final two for me.
And Rylie already had his final two.
I mean, what can I do?
[quietly] You voted to evict Rylie.
[whispering] Yes.
VINNY: [quietly] It's OK.
Feeling like I just threw my game in the trash.
The people who I just voted with,
they could not care less about me.
I guarantee they used me just for this vote.
And now, I just upset the side of the house

And now, they would put me on the block,
and both can come together and say, well, screw him.
Get him out.

I know that wasn't an easy decision, and I'm sorry.
You're not. That's not true.
That's not true.
Hey, that's not true. [whispering] You'll be fine.
What are you supposed to do? Vote out Morgan?
Absolutely not.
Vince is a wild card to me, and I just don't trust him fully.
But he did vote with us.
I would have never pictured myself working with Vince,
but it's "Big Brother."
You gotta do what you gotta do.
I just voted with this new Judges alliance.
But I don't believe them.
I don't believe that they have my back now.
I think I did their dirty work for them.
And now, like the idiot I am, they
can cut me at their leisure because my use is done now.
I can't really rely on anybody else
to keep me safe at this point.
I feel like I have to win HOH for myself.
Might as well just double down and continue
to upset more people.
[quietly] It doesn't matter.
[whispering] Yeah.
[somber music]
♪
Thank you.
It's all right, dude.
[crying] You're gonna see after this.
The only deciding factor is that two weeks
ago, he said he was gonna put you
on the block next to Rachel.
It was gonna be you, Rachel, and Ashley.
[quietly] He told you he was going to put me on the block?
Did he really?
[crying] Yeah.
[quietly] This is what I'm looking at it.
Keanu sees me as a competitor.
And if it can help his game to get me out--
Because then, he'll dominate?
Yeah.
Because he thinks you're the biggest
competitive threat to him.
Yeah.
I don't think he's that stupid, though.
Well, he's that stupid to run up there
and brown nose Rachel's a*s.
True.
Rylie had said his name.
Maybe I fabricated his nominations.
I mean, my mind could be playing tricks on itself
at this point.
He swore up and down that my name
never came out of his mouth.
That's really upsetting.
Man, that is really messing me up.
I had to validate my reason for evicting him
because Keanu hasn't even gotten emotional in this game.
And he cried when Rylie was evicted.
[quietly] But now, I'm dead to Katherine.
Lauren is probably-- regrets using Veto and hates me.
I thought I was gonna be dead to.
If you had my best interest at heart,
bro, then you haven't lost me as an ally.
If Vince is telling me this and he voted in my best interest,
then it's really hard to be mad at him.
You know, obviously, he could be lying to me.
But I do believe him.
I know what I heard.
All I can do is be honest, because I'm telling you,
I think my game is done.
Vinny, you're good, bro.
[suspenseful music]
[whispering] I'm really sorry.
[quietly] Like you said, we're playing "Big Brother,"
so I'm a big boy.
I'll get over it.
I'm upset he's gone because I don't get to see my best
friend in the house every day.
But other than that, it was gonna
be me and you in the final two chairs anyway.
So I trust you still.
I respect the move.
Did I think it was too early to make that move?
I personally thought it was.
But I guess that's why she's won, and I haven't.
We're not always going to see eye to eye.
Rylie's gone, and there's nothing I can do about that.
So the best course of action is just
to keep playing with the hand that I've been dealt.
When I made that final two with you, I meant it.
It does mean something to me, obviously,
which is why I'm in here, trying to talk to you.
I did feel bad that I got his "best friend" out of the house.
But as long as Keanu is on my side and sticks to it,
then that's great for my game.
Because he is the biggest comp beast in the house now.
I fully acknowledge how hard it would
have been to get past him and Katherine
the further they went.
I promise you that you and I will be good until final two.
We will get in those chairs.
The only thing I can do now is win HOH and-- and try
to reset this weekend.
[whispering] Everything worked out
the way it was supposed to.
But yeah, it kind of sucks.
I sent somebody home that would have never put me on the block
to protect the person's game who put me on the block.
Well, I feel like you did it because you
have a connection with Morgan, not to protect Rachel.
She's already back to her old antics, and it's been like,
not even an hour she's been off the block.
She's like, up and down, storming mad about Rylie
leaving, like her best friend wasn't just on the block
next to her. You know what I'm saying?
Like, you saved your best friend, and you got saved.
What more could you ask for?
[whispering] I'm sorry.
I am not gonna be loyal to Mickey anymore.
[quietly] What is she doing, bro?
[whispering] What is she doing?
She's going over and on and on about--
About Rylie never putting her up.
WILL: Absolutely.
She's acting like it was a big deal to vote
to evict Rylie over Morgan. - I know.
That's crazy. - [quietly] It's insane!
That's crazy.
[whispering] She's not on our side.
No.
On a personal level, I really do care about Mickey.
But on the game level, it's just all over the place.
If Mickey doesn't win HOH, there's a high probability
she could end up on the block.
She should have came back crawling.
[whispering] She should have came back crawling.
Mickey, Mickey, Mickey.
She just showed her heart.

[quietly] She makes it to the end, I'm voting for her.
Who?
Rachel.
She's earned it.
She's making everyone in this house look
[muted] stupid, constantly.
Made Ava basically have a panic attack,
but Ava still did what she wanted.
She'd have my vote.
After Rylie's eviction, I need people
to open their eyes to Rachel.
I know Keanu is, like, enamored with Rachel,
and I'm trying to plant a seed that him being on her side
is a lost cause.
[quietly] What would somebody have
to do for them to be sitting next to her,
and you not vote for her?
If she makes it to the final two, like,
her resume is already ridiculous.
She got Rylie out, has put up people,
and then they're the people closest to her.
That's insane.
Maybe Katherine's on to something here.
I told Rachel I would ride with her to the very end.
But now, I'm starting to wonder if by sticking to my final two,
I'm just writing myself a check for second place.
Maybe I should start prioritizing

And if I don't meet my quotas-- - Share the information.
What do you have for me today?

So after the vote, all she kept talking about
was how Rylie this and Rylie that.
I'm pretty sure she was questioning between me

Will can't take that shot.
Ashley can't take that shot.

supposed to expect that she would never put me up?

She put me up.
She scares the [muted] out of me.
[quietly] You don't have to touch anyone in The Judges

Morgan, you had to bring me into this new Judges alliance.
When has any alliance worked this season?
Do I really want to trust this, even short term?
Rachel put me on the block seven days ago!
[quietly] Why blow up an alliance
when you don't have to?
I just hope it's legit. I hope--
There's only one way to find out.
Blowing it up isn't the way to do it.
How are you feeling, Vinny?
I have to do something to show to you that I
need to make up for this.
I know that I pissed off a lot of people this past week.
I need to salvage as many relationships
as I can, and figure out where I actually stand
with Lauren and Katherine.
So glad that you won.
[quietly] What I am thinking, as
far as who to put on the block, like, he's a big target.
Ava did put me on the block.
But Kelley, I burned her with Rylie going home.
[whispering] I think Rachel and Mickey have to go.
[quietly] They're the two most dangerous people.
Do I just straight up put Mickey, Rachel on the block?
[quietly] I like what you're thinking.
People are playing really, really hard.
That's what I'm learning.
My next conversation is with Katherine,
and I know she would have put me on the block
because of the Rylie vote.
I want Katherine to know that she's not my target.
Mickey, she is so full of it.
[whispering] I do not [muted] trust her, Vince.
VINCE: OK. - I don't.
Good. Here's my plan.
I'm putting-- I'm putting Mickey on the block.
I'm not gonna lie.
[muted] do it, and I will vote her out.
Good.
KATHERINE: [quietly] I want her gone.
Good.
I'm not putting you up.
I don't want you even in danger.
I'm never gonna be able to trust Vince fully.
I cannot play this game holding a massive grudge.
So I'm gonna choose to believe him slightly
and err on the side of caution.
Mm.
[suspenseful music]
The past, I'd say, hours have been insane for me.
And I'm trying to wrap my head around what is true
and what is not true.
For Ava's HOH, from what I understand,
you had a heavy influence on me and Zach going on the block.
[quietly] I didn't have an influence on that at all.
Vinny, for sure.
Zach is always an option.
And your social game is so good
that you were able to take over an HOH,
and then immediately become very, very close
with both Rylie and Katherine.
Rachel puts you on the block, you're best friends with Rachel
again immediately.
The social aspect of your game is so good
that it's almost scary.
[quietly] That's interesting.
I have to consider this now, if what I am being told is true
and that you're this insane social mastermind.
Then, how do I sit next to you at the end?
I'm not really liking what I'm hearing, Vinny.
I thought that you, Morgan, and I were
aligned in the Melting Pot.
Maybe I need to remind you a little bit about our history.
[quietly] Last time I checked, I thought you, me,
and Morgan were aligned.
You sitting here, telling me that you're
even considering putting me on the block is insane to me.
Have you talked to Morgan?
That's the other thing.
If I even consider putting you up,
she's going to be so mad at me.
If there's anybody who could talk
her way out of this situation, it's probably Mickey.

Has she never thought about putting me up?
I highly doubt that.
But she sells it well.

General thoughts was Mickey, Ava.
There's only a few people who haven't been on the block
yet this season.

People would say, perfect opportunity.
Rachel put you on the block, you put her on the right

Tit for tat, even.

Kelley as an option.

What I will say is we're supposed

I love playing a risky game, but dang.
Being on the block kind of sucks.
I end up nominating Mickey, Ava, and Kelley.
My target this week is Mickey.
She has been playing a great game, and majority of the house
is upset with her.
However, in the chance that Mickey does win Veto
and comes off the block, there is another huge target
that I can fall back on.
And I'm looking at you, Rachel.
NARRATOR: Who will win the Power of Veto?
And will it be used to save on of the nominees from eviction?
