27x24 - Episode 24

[bunniefuu]

So far this summer, the men have dominated

the chopping block, with a man being

shown the front door for the past four weeks straight.

But tonight, the tables have turned, as a woman

is guaranteed to go home.

Welcome to live eviction night on "Big Brother."

NARRATOR: Previously on "Big Brother."

Vince was aligned with nearly the entire house.

He was in The Judges with Rachel, Morgan, Will,

and Ashley, and also the Melting

Pot with Mickey and Morgan.

Plus, he had a final two with Lauren.

Final two.

I swear.

NARRATOR: He used to have one with Kelley--

Would love to have a final two with you.

NARRATOR: --and a tight partnership with Keanu.

Vinny, you're good, bro.

You haven't lost me as an ally.

NARRATOR: So after winning Head of Household--

Congratulations, Vince.

You are the next Head of Household.

NARRATOR: --Vince knew he was going to make some enemies.

I'll take tough decisions at getting more people mad at me

by nominating people rather than have my game in jeopardy.

NARRATOR: Although Keanu and Rachel had a secret agreement-

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

Perfect.

Thank you, Keanu.

Frenemies.

NARRATOR: --Keanu wanted Vince to take a shot at the icon.

You could consider putting Rachel up as a pawn.

NARRATOR: But the skater boy targeted Mickey instead.

I've nominated you, Ava, Mickey, and Kelley.

My target this week is Mickey.

She has been playing a great game, and majority of the house

is upset with her.

NARRATOR: At a drop dead veto competition.

[gasps]

--Mickey found the antidote her game needed.

Congratulations, Mickey.

You have just won the Golden Power of Veto.

I saved myself, and I'm not going anywhere.

NARRATOR: Worried she could be a replacement nom,

Rachel went to Vince.

I think at the end of the day, it is best to,

like, just ride with this alliance.

NARRATOR: And he let Keanu's betrayal slip.

I really think it's the safest play.

Even though Keanu is telling me,

like, if you do something crazy.

I'm like, Rachel?

Yeah.

NARRATOR: So she quickly confronted the dungeon master.

Did you tell him that you won't take a shot at me,

but you don't care if he does?

No.

There's literally no reason for Vince to tell her this.

NARRATOR: Which made Keanu want Rachel gone even more.

If Rachel's up there on eviction night,

she's for sure going home.

NARRATOR: But right before the veto meeting,

Rachel made a plea for her life.

I'm an asset to your game.

Not only am I a wealth of knowledge Vince,

I am extremely loyal.

I have never betrayed my allies.

Ever.

NARRATOR: After Mickey saved herself--

I have decided to use the Power of Veto on myself.

NARRATOR: --Vince went for Rylie's

princess instead of the queen.

Katherine, please have a seat.

NARRATOR: Tonight, who will the BB Block

Buster save from eviction?

Katherine, Kelley, or Ava?

And who will be the next player sent packing?

Plus, Keanu and Rachel go from frenemies back to enemies.

I don't know why you're acting like this for me.

Why don't you turn around and leave me alone?

NARRATOR: All this live on, "Big Brother."

I can't handle this dramada.

Good evening.

I'm Julie Chen-Moonves.

Welcome to "Big Brother."

It's day inside the "Big Brother" house,

and as reigning Head of Household,

Vince stands as chief justice of The Judges alliance,

initially handing down chopping block sentences to Kelley,

Mickey, and Ava.

But when Mickey was granted a pardon with her veto win,

Vince had a potentially game changing decision to make.

Make a big move and target Rachel or a safe move

with Katherine.

He chose the latter.

So did he make the right choice?

Only time and tonight's live Block Buster competition

will tell.

But first, Vince's decision has left a trail of tears

in its wake, many of them his.

This veto meeting is adjourned.

[suspenseful music]

I'm super frustrated with Vince.

Clearly, somebody got in his head

because Rachel's not on the block

and this makes zero sense.

Between the Adrian vote, the Rylie vote, and now this,

this is three times that he's burned me.

I'm not OK with it.

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

Vince put me on the block, which I think is pathetic.

I'm gonna win this Block Buster and then the HoH,

and then pluck out Vince's mustache, one hair at a time

with a pair of tweezers, and then put him on the block.

You can't feel safe in this house.

But against Kelley, I think I'll stay.

Against Katherine, I think I have a good chance.

Rachel's not keeping Katherine or Kelley.

So if I have Rachel, I probably have Ashley.

Will, Vinny would break a tie in my favor, I think.

Let's see what happens.

I'm angry that Vince didn't have what it takes

to take a shot at Rachel.

I'm angry that this is now the fourth or fifth time

he's burned our bridge that I keep trying to make with him.

Now I just have to do what I do best.

Take myself off the block.

Thank you Block Buster.

Win HoH and take the shot at Rachel that nobody

else is willing to take.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I promise.

Woo.

I dodged a b*llet on that one.

I am feeling amazing.

I really appreciate Vince not putting me up

as a renom this week, but he definitely

considered me a little bit too much for my liking.

Am I gonna definitely keep my eye on him?

Absolutely.

The game is gonna continue to get harder,

and the decisions are gonna get more difficult,

and people are gonna get mad no matter what.

But--

But you have four people with you.

Ultimately, I did want to put Rachel up,

but even if she doesn't win the Block Buster,

she could probably find a way to get the votes to stay.

And then I look like an idiot, and it's

a completely wasted HoH.

Of course, now I upset a whole different set of people,

and all I can do is damage control

and hopefully get back on good terms with them.

The best part about, like, this group

is because it's not expected.

Right.

[WHISPERING] Are you guys OK?

Well, just know--

[whimsical music]

Hmm, yeah.

He's betrayed us three times, bro.

Because he's not on our side.

If I'm against Kelley, I'm probably fine.

If I'm against Ava, I have no idea who I've got.

I'd have Kelley and Lauren and Keanu.

That's only three, and I need at least five votes to stay.

The people that would actually fight

for him, he's getting rid of.

Vince, why would you do this?

Katherine is not somebody that's coming for you.

There's a clear shot for Rachel.

It just doesn't make any sense.

Three of my favorite people in this house

are on the block on his HoH.

If you look at it on paper, you'd

think that we're mortal enemies,

but we're actually a final two and trying

to work together in this game.

Crazy.

Are you OK?

Yeah, yeah, I was just telling them

it's a point in the game that we're at,

you're gonna start pissing people off more and more.

Well, if it makes you feel better, I told Katherine,

you know you got my vote next to Kelley.

And I look behind me and there was Kelley.

Ashley.

[chuckling]

So I'm thinking it's either gonna be Kelley or Katherine

going home this week.

And honestly, I hope it's Kelley.

Ava's very well liked by pretty much everybody in the house.

So no matter who she sits next to I think she'll be safe.

But I know that Kelley will for sure

put three people on my side on that block, including me.

Even though I'm in The Judges with Vince,

honestly, he's at the bottom of my totem pole.

I think Katherine is more likely to take a shot at Vince,

and that's fine by me.

When it comes to burning bridges,

this was the final straw with me and Kelley.

You think?

She didn't even look at me.

If we're starting to talk about jury votes,

I will never get hers.

So if we evict her this week--

I'm happy to evict her. VINCE: Please.

- Please. - I am happy to evict.

I am happy.

Um, are these clean?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Yes.

You all right?

I literally am not even talking to you.

I know. Why?

Why would I talk to you?

Why not?

You're not on the block.

Either Rachel's randomly mad at me, which is prone to happen,

or she's still mad I was trying to put her up.

I think I'm just gonna play dumb for now.

So I don't know why you're acting like this for me.

Because I don't wanna talk to you.

Yeah.

Do I need to talk to you all the time?

No, you don't, but I don't understand

why you're acting like that.

I don't wanna talk to you.

So why don't you turn around and make your little eggs

and leave me alone?

Then why are you occupying the same space as me

if you don't wanna converse?

Because I'm literally doing the dishes,

Keanu, and I have to live in a house with you.

I'm sorry. - I'll do that.

You can-- you can go somewhere else if you'd like.

You literally never clean.

You never cook, you never do the dishes, so somebody has to.

I am so done with Keanu.

I know that he tried to get me on that block.

Even though we're supposed to be in a final two,

I don't even wanna look at him.

Can I help you?

No? Perfect.

What is going on in this house?

Dumbass.

Vinny, Vinny, Vinny.

I'm frustrated.

I'm disappointed.

It seems like week after week, I'm behind the eight ball

and the only thing that those occurrences have in common

is Vince.

Now you've burned me three times.

I have not intentionally burned you.

I don't-- - Stop lying to me, bro.

I'm not lying to you.

You've literally let them finesse you multiple times.

I know it was the safer play, but--

Katherine would not have put you up, Vinny.

Come on, man, it's not that hard.

Do what you say you're gonna do.

None of us are gonna win against her, dude.

Stop being scared, bro.

This game doesn't favor the scared.

This game favors the bold.

I know I need to stop playing safe.

I fall into the same [muted] routine as my regular life.

Vinny, I chose you because I like

you as a [muted] person, man.

VINCE: I know.

Don't burn me again, dude.

Don't do it, please.

There's something deep within me

that tells me that I should continue to trust Vince

and nurture this relationship.

That relationship ultimately will be stronger

than any deceit that these other players could

possibly plant in his head.

I'm not leaving you behind, Vinny.

I chose you for a reason.

I need you to choose me.

I know that Keanu is pissed at me right now,

and I really do value my relationship with him.

He still trusts me and make sure that we're good.

I would love to go far with this guy,

but it's not an easy thing to do because Keanu is such

an easy target in the house.

If I sounded like I was talking down to you,

I really do apologize. - You're not.

You're speaking passionately because you're

trying to uplift me.

There's something in me that tells me that you're the one.

It should feel like I can't trust you,

and in spite of that, dude, I wanna raise you up.

Vinny, a rising tide raises all boats.

I'm sailing right now, bro, but I need a partner.

Hey, guys. VINCE: Hey.

Hey, the food's ready.

VINCE: Oh, cool. - Yeah.

Are you good? VINCE: Thank you so much.

Yeah, I'm good.

OK. Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah, I'm good. Thank you.

OK. VINCE: Thanks.

- Well, whenever you're ready. - Thank you so much.

Appreciate it.

[suspenseful music]

RACHEL: I cannot let Keanu get into Vince's head.

I can't let Keanu control this HoH.

Vince could be the tie breaker this week.

And if he is, I need to make sure that he goes in whatever

direction I need him to go.

Let's move forward, dude.

Up next, with her back against the wall,

will Katherine find an unexpected ally?

Then, Kelley, Katherine, and Ava

head into the BB Block Buster Arena

in a fight to save their game.

The winner comes off the block.

The other two must face the threat of eviction.

Stay with us.

[cheers, applause]

[cheers, applause]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

She talked the HoH into not putting her on the block.

Now can Rachel talk the house into what

she wants with the vote?

See, my problem with Kelley is she's not

very intelligent game-wise.

Kelley has the worst gameplay.

I don't even think she understands this game.

Kelley has to go.

RACHEL: So wait a minute, wait a minute.

These are actually all reasons to keep Kelley.

Bad players are the players that you

want to keep in the house because they're easy to let go.

But it's the good players that, if you have a shot,

you got to take it.

So maybe I need to start talking to the ladies

about changing our thinking on this plan.

Katherine has a much better social game than Kelley.

I mean, she's more connected to people in the house

like Lauren and Keanu.

And Kelley doesn't have anyone.

Her social game, quite literally,

is kind of in the gutter.

So, mm, I just don't know yet.

[WHISPERING] They're like, totally ignoring her.

I didn't even notice that.

You're right.

She's always going to be a target anyways.

MICKEY: True.

[WHISPERING] Just something to think about.

[suspenseful music]

KATHERINE: Well, really, I should

be asking you that because your best friend is on the block.

I have three people on the block this week

that I absolutely love.

And I'm trying to get a gauge on how

the house is voting, because I'm hoping

to keep Katherine this week.

Yeah, your best friend here.

Yeah.

[WHISPERING] I know you are going to.

There are legitimate reasons to keep Katherine over Ava.

Katherine would be a better person to sit next to

on the block.

And also, Ava's very well-liked,

which if she makes it to the end,

that might not be good for me.

For sure.

Me neither.

Of course.

Love you, Lauren.

Don't stress.

I'm just going to do what I think,

and hopefully it's the right thing.

[ominous music]

♪

AVA: I've never listened in on an entire game conversation

about myself before.

That was really, really weird.

LAUREN: So I just finished talking to Ashley

and then it hits me.

Ava sleeps in the train room and is a frequent napper.

Was she just in there the entire time

that we were having a game conversation?

My stomach absolutely is in knots.

[suspenseful music]

Oh, my god.

Ava was in the room the entire time that we

were having this conversation.

Was Ava sleeping the entire time?

Was she spying on us?

I have to get to Vince right now

and let these thoughts out of my brain.

[knocking]

Hello.

- It's me. - Hi.

I have to come in here because I'm freaking out.

What happened?

What happened, Lauren?

I pulled Ashley in the train room

to talk to her about votes and stuff.

And I'm pretty sure Ava was in there the entire time.

Was it anything negative about her?

I mean, I said that I was on the fence

when it came down to her and Katherine.

Maybe she didn't hear anything.

I said, I think there's a way that it comes down to a tie.

VINCE: Ever since Lauren used the Veto on me,

our relationship has actually gotten strained.

I put up three of her allies on the block this week,

so I want to do whatever I can to repair this relationship.

If Ava was awake and overheard this conversation,

Ava might be more inclined to put Lauren on the block.

So if I have to break a tie, I have a lot

to think about because I need to make sure that Lauren

is safe in this game.

I can't believe I just did that.

It's OK.

[suspenseful music]

I don't know why my hair looks really short today.

OK. - I think it looks good.

- OK. - Yeah.

I think you look good. - They're gonna ask me--

- Your hair looks good. - --to get rid of the wet more.

RACHEL: All the vibes look good.

I'm in a tough position because, I mean, I know good

and damn well I'm not a benefit to Rachel's game.

But $, is on the line.

As much as it kills me, I have to try to convince

her for her vote to save me.

I woke up today, like, finally feeling,

like, actually very comfortable with, like, talking to you.

Destroying a relationship with you does not feel smart,

and it doesn't feel worth it.

I hate that Rylie's gone.

There's no trust that's ever going to be

like what Rylie was for me.

Absolutely.

As much as I love him, like, I don't want

to be viewed as a tag-along.

You know? - Right.

But I'm like, I like, want to see that for myself

because I feel like I haven't had a chance.

RACHEL: Yeah.

But I don't know what to do.

I'm so sorry.

[sobs]

I'm so sorry.

It is getting exhausting to hide on my face how much

I just cannot stand Rachel.

But this is a game and I do want her vote.

I don't know if there's a world where you and I will get

on the same page, but I would love to make it

happen if you're open to that.

Maybe the idea of an unlikely pair

will be an enticing idea for her scary brain

that she's holding inside of her body.

I know that you are, like, such a great person

to have in this house as well.

And I've really enjoyed getting to know you.

Look, I think Kelley and Katherine probably both want

to try to put me on the block.

But I do think there is a chance I could make

some headway with Katherine.

Kelley is probably not as strong of a game player,

but she's so unpredictable.

So this vote is tough.

And at this point, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

[suspenseful music]

Up next, it's the BB Block Buster.

Ava, Kelley and Katherine-- only one

can win this competition and win their safety.

Stay with us.

[cheers, applause]

[cheers, applause]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

Ava has been assured she's safe.

But will she take her BB life into her own hands

and guarantee her safety?

Kelley arrives as a two-time BB Block Buster champ.

Can she rally and secure another victory?

And Katherine saw her showmance Rylie lose this competition

and his game last week.

Can she avoid the same fate and win tonight?

It's time to find out.

Hello, houseguests.

Hi, Julie.

JULIE: It's time for the BB Block Buster competition.

The winner will immediately come off the block.

This competition is called Hilltop Heist,

and here's how it works.

In front of each of you is a large game board ramp, as well

as a stolen rare red pearl.

The goal is to roll your pearl from the starting position

at the top to the jewel case at the bottom.

To do this, you must strategically

place five white game pieces on the ramp

in order to maneuver your pear unassisted around the obstacle

and into the jewel case at the bottom.

The first person to do this will win this competition

and their safety.

Does everyone understand?

Yes.

Yes.

JULIE: Good.

Then get ready, because this competition starts now.

[suspenseful music]

Congratulations, Kelley!

[cheers, applause]

You have won this competition and are

now officially off the block.

Everyone, please return to the Big Brother house immediately.

The live vote and eviction will begin shortly.

I'm so sorry, Katherine.

JULIE: All right houseguests, thank you for all taking

a seat in the living room.

It is time for the live vote and eviction.

Katherine, Ava, in just moment your housemates will cast

their votes to evict live.

But before they do, you each have

a final chance to sway their votes with one brief statement

Katherine, you're up first.

OK, so this is really hard.

Kelley, good job.

You k*ll it every time.

I was at least a little close, so I feel

slightly better about that.

Ava, I love you so much.

I do have to fight to stay a little bit.

I want to say, if any of y'all are on the block next to Ava,

you're probably going to be in the same position.

She is so lovable, and fantastic, and wonderful.

So the only thing I can say to try to convince you

is that next time she's on the block,

she's more than likely staying again.

But yeah, if I'm best for your game, then please keep me.

Thank you.

JULIE: Thank you, Katherine.

Ava.

Hi, Julie.

Hi, houseguests.

The only thing I have to say is thank you to my parents

for giving me this beautiful life.

I owe everything to 'em.

Katherine, you are a chick that is as tough as nails,

I love you.

I'm not gonna say a bad word about you.

Houseguests, if it is in your best interest to keep me, YOLO.

maybe not. I don't know.

I would like to believe it's Lauren.

JULIE: You are correct. KATHERINE: OK.

JULIE: The other two you probably thought you could get

would be Kelley and Keanu?

Kelley and Keanu, yeah.

JULIE: Why do you think they didn't vote to keep you?

I think that they were protecting their own games,

which at the end of the day, Mickey was my fourth vote

if I could get a fourth.

And she'd lied to all of us at least five times,

and about very big things.

So even when I was talking, I was

saying repeatedly, uh, Mickey hasn't the best, like,

history, but--

Well, you should know that Vince did contemplate putting

up Rachel instead of you.

KATHERINE: Good.

JULIE: How big of a mistake is it keeping Rachel in this game?

I think for some people it is a massive, massive benefit.

I think for-- JULIE: Like who?

For who?

For Vince?

Not for Vince, no, which I think

might have been his mistake.

But yeah, I think Vince might end up regretting that,

but maybe he'll work it to his advantage.

I have no idea, but I doubt it.

JULIE: Well, Vince is in an alliance of five.

Ooh.

Rachel is one of the members.

Oh, fantastic.

It's called The Judges.

Mm-hmm.

It was just formed a couple of weeks ago.

It's Vince, Rachel, Will, Ashley, and Morgan.

Thoughts?

Thoughts are I thought Vince was a little

more left out than that.

The others, not a surprise.

And, yeah, it's very similar to what Mickey

wanted, I think, with me and Rylie

but we weren't as on board.

JULIE: Let's talk about you and Rylie, because you spent

the majority of your time in the house in a showmance

with him.

I did.

Some thought that you were not as into the relationship

as Rylie was. - OK.

JULIE: Were you or was it game or was it something else?

I think I was into it as Rylie was.

I really, really like Rylie.

I am so excited to see him.

I was heartbroken when he left and it was really, really hard.

Yeah, I think part of the only reason I stayed in the game

was because of him.

And it made me, you know, not regret,

like, pursuing that and being attached at the hip with him.

Because I was like, no matter what, Rylie was the reason.

I'm still here now.

You know?

I think I would have left way earlier without him,

and I'm so happy that I got to meet him here.

In the event, you were the one evicted, your housemates

taped some goodbye messages. - Oh, great.

Let's watch.

Katherine, my heart is literally

breaking doing this message.

Please know that you are always loved.

You will be missed.

And I'm extremely sorry that you're not here anymore.

See you soon, babe.

Katherine, I am so sorry that this happened.

You've had a rough couple of weeks with Rylie leaving,

and you definitely deserve to show, you know,

who you are as a player without Rylie.

Bye, Kat.

Katherine, I asked Vinnie the Lip not to put you on the block

this week.

Obviously, he didn't listen.

Love you, girl.

Keep your head held high.

Katherine, if you're seeing this right now,

I'm probably an absolute mess.

I am so thankful to have such a genuine friend like you

in this house.

I cannot wait to hang out with you outside of here,

and I love you so much.

Final thoughts including do you

want to pursue a relationship with Rylie outside

of the house?

I think I will see what happens.

I'm a day by day type of person.

But yeah, I've missed him so much since he's been gone,

and it's one of the few bright sides, I feel like,

is that I get to reconnect with him now.

Katherine, thank you.

Thank you so much.

God speed to you.

Thanks.

[applause]

Here's a look at the week ahead.

Tune in Sunday at :/: Central,

as the Head of Household plays out

and three more houseguests are put up on the chopping block.

Then on Wednesday at :/: Central,

it's the Power of Veto competition, when

BB 's unforgettable Angela--

Crazy eyes!

JULIE: --returns to surprise the houseguests.

Then on Thursday, it's a critical eviction night,

because all of the houseguests who survived the night

will make it to at least the Big Brother jury or win it all

Plus, The Mastermind returns live

with an insidious invitation for the houseguests.

Head to Paramount+ right now, where you can binge

all of the "Big Brother" episodes

and watch the live feeds /.

For now, let's eavesdrop on the houseguests.

From outside the "Big Brother" house, I'm Julie Chen-Moonves.

Love one another.

Good night.

[cheers, applause]

MORGAN: He could've won the Veto.

He couldn't.

He threw the veto. VINCE: Oh, %.

RACHEL: He threw the veto.

So--

Look at me, rolling up all my clothes.

I did.

It's very respectable.

And I just want to say that.
