27x25 - Episode 25

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: Previously on "Big Brother,"

Vince was Head of Household--

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

My target this week is Mickey.

NARRATOR: --and he found it to be emotionally draining--

I feel like I'm getting, like, played here.

NARRATOR: --with his target Mickey earning Veto--

[GASPS]

Look at what I have here.

NARRATOR: --Vinny needed a new nominee.

As much as I would love to take the shot at Rachel,

Katherine would be the safer move.

But is a safe move really what I want to do right now?

NARRATOR: And after Keanu pushed hard for Rachel--

KEANU: You might not get this chance again.

VINCE: Yeah, I know.

If Rachel's up there on eviction night,

she's for sure going home.

NARRATOR: --word got back to the legend.

And Keanu's telling me, like, if we do something crazy--

like, Rachel?

NARRATOR: --Rachel confronted Keanu.

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

but you don't care if he does?

No.

NARRATOR: So the dungeon master made a desperate plea

to get her gone.

You're not forced, brother.

Do not let them force you to do what you don't want to do.

NARRATOR: At the Veto meeting--

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

NARRATOR: --Vince chickened out on backdooring the queen.

Katherine, please have a seat.

NARRATOR: Mad about Keanu's betrayal of their short-lived

peace treaty--

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

Because I don't want to talk to you.

NARRATOR: --Rachel went full frontal rudity.

Why don't you turn around and make your little egg

and leave me alone?

[HORN SOUNDING]

NARRATOR: With safety on the line,

Kelley claimed her third blockbuster win.

JULIE: Congratulations, Kelly.

You are now officially off the block.

NARRATOR: At the live vote and eviction--

JULIE: By a vote of seven to one, Katherine,

you are evicted from the Big Brother house.

NARRATOR: --the server got stiffed.

Tonight, who will become the next Head of Household?

And with the last eviction before jury looming,

who is hitting the block next?

With only four weeks until the winner is crowned,

every game move is critical.

Strap in and watch it all unfold,

right now on "Big Brother!"

[whispering] Well, now, no way.

We love you, Katherine!

[TENSE MUSIC]

Oh.

Come here, babe.

♪

[whispering] It's gonna be OK.

♪

Yeah.

My best friend just went home.

This is the third week in a row that someone that I

was close with has left.

I'm tired of crying.

I'm tired of feeling scared.

Moving forward, I just have to be strong and remember,

playing safe and sitting in the background

is as good as nothing.

Though I'm so tired of getting put up on the block,

I am never tired of proving myself in this game.

I've got b*tches quakin'.

I don't know if I'm allowed to say "b*tches," but I did.

Katherine just got evicted.

Love ya sister, but, yay, I'm still in the house!

Let's go!

Damn hat.

Now my head is in this game and I am ready, willing, and able

to win this HOH so I can take contro

and I'm not on that block next week.

Someone who I'm not close with

left the house, so I can't really complain.

Katherine could have been good for my game,

but I will never know because we never spoke game.

My focus right now is my alliance, The Judges.

They're all still here in the house.

So I can breathe a little bit more.

VINCE: To have Katherine leave on my HOH

feels like a complete failure.

That was Lauren's closest friend in this game.

That hurts her game tremendously.

I feel really, really terrible about how this whole week went.

I hope it's not the downfall of my game.

Right.

[whispering] No, she's gonna have to go.

She has to go.

I'm so over Kelley.

Kelley should have gone home when she was

sitting next to Jimmy, period.

I tried to tell the whole house,

and now everyone's like, we can't get out Kelley.

I don't know what to do.

I'm like, yeah, you had the chance to take a shot

and they didn't take it.

Ashley, come clean up your room, girl.

I know. I do.

I need to clean it up.

♪

I still think that's respectable.

Not that they care what I think.

Sorry.

Man, it's not good.

I'm fortunate enough that my social game and my connection

with Lauren was good.

But I am telling you, it could be strike three

and I'm still standing in the batter's box

and I don't know I struck out yet.

But I'm hoping that I at least have one more strike

and I can stay a little bit longer.

It would be actually kind of interesting

to see if people start to try to, like,

pull you as a number for them.

Wouldn't that be kind of interesting to see?

Vince is somebody that I've obviously committed myself to,

and doing that has unfortunately proven to maybe

not be the ideal situation.

So now I am playing this game for me

and not playing for anybody else.

If I make it past this week, I'm gonna play

an entirely different game.

I promise you.

I swear I'm gonna play an entirely different game.

♪

Uh.

I thought I was gonna be so much better at this game.

Whatever happens, happens this week.

But I did my best.

It's a shame that she went.

VINCE: Yeah.

Because she wouldn't have put you up.

That's not how I planned it.

But, um, whatever, man.

It is what it is, V. Just got to move forward.

I feel like I'm on a team and I'm, like, going offsides

and I'm just setting my team back yards, yards,

and it's making it that much harder to get to a goal.

An analogy that I would probably agree with.

[LAUGHTER]

Oh, Vinny.

As forgiving as I have been, I do feel like my kindness

is being taken as weakness.

I'm tired of seeing my allies go home because of him.

Vince has shown me that some of my allies

are not necessarily gonna make the moves that benefit me.

So I need to take the power for myself.

Yeah, man. It's OK.

It's all right.

♪

Oh, wow.

OK.

Holy [MUTED].

Kelley, thank God.

Yeah, right?

I thought I was basically gonna have to take a vow

of silence for the next month.

But all we have to do is make it out of this week.

Kelley has been one of if not my most trusted ally

in this game up to this point.

And I don't care what the house is doing,

I refuse to vote against her.

Yeah, but Kelley, you got to start turning it into--

Yeah.

Vince never has my back, and Keanu

is the only one that's been loyal to me this whole game.

And I feel a little guilty for not being so loyal to him

in the beginning.

But now I'm unwavering.

Oh, dude, I'm so happy you're here.

♪

Do you have that blanket?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I want to win this next HOH.

I do too.

Good.

I hope you win, and I hope I'm not on the block.

But I just want to know if you are coming after me.

Because if I win this, I have zero

intention of putting you up.

I would like to fix things with Rachel.

I wasn't being very loyal last week when I was trying to get

her thrown on the block.

At this point, I'm hoping that it's water under the bridge.

I want to have this conversation because we are

going to be the two largest targets in the house

and we need to be working together.

So I want to try and smooth things over with her.

I want to know if there is a possibility

for us to make decisions together moving forward.

You did backstab me and try to get me renowned and evicted.

I know.

I don't expect you to forget.

I expect you to forgive me.

I would hope so.

And we did have a final two deal.

Did I backstab you?

Yes.

I felt like you were not being considerate of my game,

and it felt like you were kind of just using me as a shield.

How can I use you as a shield when I'm a bigger target?

[LAUGHS]

You're gonna be the biggest target when jury comes around.

If you're not here, I'm the biggest target.

I mean, working with you is good for my game.

So there's that.

But--

That's it.

You don't even have to say anything else.

If you haven't forgiven me yet, then

I'll keep working towards it.

But that doesn't mean I have to trust you.

So you have to earn that.

Oh, I intend to.

RACHEL: I don't really understand how I'm supposed

to, like, work with Keanu.

I don't think I can play with him,

but I'm at the bottom of the alliance I'm in.

Morgan and Vince are so close.

Will and Ashley are so close.

I feel like my back is up against the wall.

So I have no choice but to let Keanu believe

that I am working with him.

[LAUGHS] The frenemies plot continues.

[QUIRKY MUSIC]

♪

Uh-oh!

Guys!

- What? - What?

KEANU: Oh, God.

I see the Memory Wall is gone and it says Mystere Moments.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Could this have to do with the HOH come?

So is it going to be us?

That's going to be crazy. - Yes.

Oh, my gosh.

This is amazing.

Oh, wow. This has goot me looking crazy.

WILL: Oh my God.

[LAUGHING]

Oh, that's what [INAUDIBLE] look like.

Did one of you fall in?

Ava, please.

[LAUGHS]

I was so excited.

ASHLEY: Right there, up there.

Basement break in.

WILL: Oh.

What am I doing? Oh.

What am I doing?

I'm looking at everything because I

know that this is gonna have something

to do with the HOH comp.

I see Jimmy.

I see Zae from week one.

I see my girl Amy.

I'm counting how many times Katherine clapped her hands,

how many people are getting splattered

with goo in the wall comp.

I didn't realize Keanu jumped that fast.

[LAUGHTER]

MICKEY: Oh.

Look at us getting the cement on us.

RACHEL: I'm memorizing the numbers

and I'm memorizing all the colors and, like, the falls,

and what's in the photos.

MORGAN: Yo, that was insane.

Wait, not the butt-ler did it.

Wait, I just saw that one.

AVA: My body looked so good in that clip.

I'm like, thank you, Jesus.

[LAUGHS]

I need to win HOH to make sure that I am safe this week.

But also, I would really like to keep Lauren

and Kelley off the block.

Plus, if I win, I can prove my loyalty to Rachel

by not nominating her and show her

that I'm truly sorry for the move I tried to pull last week.

Woo!

Woo! - Woo!

[APPLAUSE]

My best friend in this house, Katherine,

just got evicted by my number one ally in the game.

So I am ready to take some big shots at some huge targets.

I really want to win, to not only solidify my safety,

but the rest of The Judges--

if The Judges were to win this competition,

they would be targeting Keanu, Kelley,

and probably Lauren, because there really isn't anyone else.

VINCE: There have been a lot of mysterious moments this season

at Hotel Mystere.

Earlier, we all had the chance to watch Mystere memes,

and now you'll be tested on what you remember.

As outgoing Head of Household, I am not eligible to compete.

Here's how it works.

Each round I'll ask you a true or false

question about the Mystere memes you saw.

Get a question right and you'll move on to the next round.

Get the question wrong and you're eliminated.

The last player standing will be the new Head of Household.

Who's ready to play Mystere Moments?

[APPLAUSE]

RACHEL: I do have the Judges alliance,

so I do think I'm safe if any of them win.

But I feel like I'm definitely going to be on the block

if Lauren, Kelley, or possibly Keanu wins.

I just sent Katherine home, so I cannot allow Lauren,

Keanu, or myself to go up this week.

I will be going after Rachel, Rachel, Rachel.

And then as a backup fourth nom, I will choose Rachel.

True or false, in the cot creeping meme,

Casey was wearing a topiary costume with red flowers.

The correct answer was false.

She was wearing a costume with yellow flowers.

Sorry, Will.

You've been eliminated.

[LAUGHS]

In memory competitions for this season,

I have not done well in them.

But I feel pretty solid.

The Judges alliance is looking good.

Plus I have Ava.

Plus I have Mickey as well.

VINCE: True or false, in the Mystere Express meme,

five players were shown getting blasted

with green goo on the wall.

LAUREN: I knew immediately that the answer is

true, because I made sure to count

how many people were up there.

VINCE: The correct answer is true.

Five players were shown getting blasted

with green goo on the wall.

Sorry, Mickey and Rachel.

That means you have been eliminated.

Rachel gets out.

I'm like, ah!

This is amazing.

Rachel's really the only one in here

that I was really concerned would come after me.

Please reset.

RACHEL: How did I do so badly?

I got out on the second question.

It's so embarrassing.

MICKEY: I do not want Keanu or Kelley to win this competition.

Lauren I can deal with, but Keanu and Kelley, I might

go up on the block yet again.

Come on, Ashley.

Come on, Ava.

Come on, Morgan.

Let's get this win.

VINCE: True or false, in the OTEV, the Hogfather meme,

Lil Stinky was shown lowering his left arm.

AVA: I struggle with knowing which hand is left and right.

So I have to use my own body.

And as soon as I figure out which is left and right,

I know the answer is false.

VINCE: The correct answer was false.

He was shown lowering his right arm.

Yeah, you're getting a cement bath.

VINCE: Lauren, you've been eliminated.

Please take a seat.

LAUREN: I'm so annoyed that I'm out of this competition.

But at this point, I'm really hoping

that either Keanu, Kelley, or Ava can pull this one out.

Time for the next question.

So it comes down to Morgan, Ashley, Ava, Kelley, and Keanu,

and I am really hoping that Morgan can pull this one out.

I have burned a lot of bridges with both Kelley and Keanu,

so I'm hoping neither of them win.

True or false, in the Destroy the Lair meme, all the cores

that fell from Jimmy's BB blaster and hit the ground

fell from the top bar.

The correct answer is true.

All the cores fell from the top bar.

Morgan, Ava, and Ashley, you have all been eliminated.

Please take a seat.

Our alliance sucks, man.

Let me keep it real.

The Judges suck.

We have the odds and the two people that for sure we

don't want to win are in the finals

of the Head of Household.

MICKEY: I don't know what's worse, Kelley

winning or Keanu winning.

I'll start packing my bags now.

It all comes down to Keanu versus Kelley.

KEANU: Kelley and I are the last ones

standing in this competition, and at the very least,

I feel safe.

However, we do have different targets.

She would go after Rachel.

So I have to beat Kelley and win this HOH so I

can keep the Frenemies alive.

KELLEY: It comes down to Keanu and I,

and I'm not sure that Keanu would put Rachel up.

So if I want Rachel gone, I have to win this HOH.

VINCE: True or false, in the k*ller Carnival meme,

the balance beams were yellow.

Hey, I remember that meme.

There was a handsome guy in that one,

and I don't remember the beams being yellow.

I'm putting false.

KELLEY: I'm sure those balance beams were yellow,

but maybe they were red?

I'm not sure.

I'm gonna put true.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

The correct answer is--

♪

False.

The balance beams were blue.

That means, Kelley, you've been eliminated.

Congratulations, Keanu.

You are the new Head of Household.

[APPLAUSE]

I'll talk to you.

Keanu Ray Soto is the new HOH, baby.

I'm safe for the week.

I can keep my allies safe for the week.

Little did they know they were playing

with an old powerful wizard.

[APPLAUSE]

RACHEL: Go figure.

Now Keanu is gonna be HOH for a whole week,

so now I have to be his best friend. [SARCASTICALLY] Yay.

Last week that guy tried to get me evicted

and I fought with him the entire summer.

So I hope what he said about wanting

to work with me is true.

[CHEERING]

HOH!

HOH!

HOH!

You're looking at the new HOH, baby.

The perks are great, but I'm a man of simple taste.

It's all about the power for me.

This is all about making sure that I set the course the way

that I want it for the last third of this game.

Congrats, man.

I think Keanu winning is a good thing,

but I can't help but have some doubts because

of the Riley eviction and me not

putting Rachel on the block.

I think that he's pretty skeptical of me right now.

The real question is, is anyone cooking?

Because if not, I'm making a sandwich.

- Do you want hot dogs? - Oh, there's still food--

[LAUGHING] - Yay.

Keanu won HOH.

Even though he told me before the comp

that he's gonna make it up to me,

I don't know that I can trust him.

So I need to chat with him as is possible to find

out where his head is at.

Imagine, like, first three out, slop.

WILL: I would have left.

Real talk, I would have left.

[UPBEAT MUSIC] - Ooh!

Ooh!

Ooh!

You did it!

Oh my God!

I'm so proud of you!

Oh my God!

It was us two!

Yay!

Keanu's HOH!

We've been put up on the block together so many times.

We've had so many people do us so wrong in this game.

And it's time one of us has some power here.

I'm happy you're here, Kelley.

I really am.

I needed you here just for my own sanity.

I was like, you're literally the last person

left that I like legitimately enjoy speaking to.

I'm super happy that I won HOH, mostly because I

get to keep my allies safe.

I'm sick and tired of people using Kelley as a pawn,

and I refuse to do the same.

I love Kelley.

At this point she's my best friend in the house

and we've proven that together we are a competitive force.

We gonna switch it up a little bit?

I'm thinking about--

Vince wouldn't put you up.

He proved that.

Yeah.

But I'm still putting him up.

One [MUTED] ally is not worth three good ones.

And I want--

I want Morgan to go.

[TENSE MUSIC]

I feel like Morgan has been in Vince's ear

for the entirety of this game.

I believe that Morgan was the reason

Katherine went up in the first place and Rachel stayed safe.

So maybe if I can get Morgan out,

Vince will probably get his head out of his a*s.

Whatever you do, I trust it.

Thank you.

♪

RACHEL: I'm very excited for you.

VINCE: Thank you.

I would like to consult with you

on what you think I should do.

OK.

If I could recoup my relationship with Rachel,

we could ride that out until someone during the jury phase

takes her out.

And if I'm still Rachel's number one,

she can advocate for me to win.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

It doesn't mean I'm gonna be giving you any coaching advice.

I really want to make a nomination for Ashley.

But I know when jury phase starts,

she is a definitive number for you to never go home.

So I will not do that, for that reason,

and I want you to know that.

Because I despise her.

Why?

Because she annoys the crap out of me.

Oh, my God.

That's a big deal.

So I want you to know that.

You still did try to get me evicted last week.

I know.

But I can definitively put you on the block now,

and I'm not going to, so remember that.

♪

RACHEL: I come from this, like, generation

of "Big Brother" players that, like, we stuck with our people.

We didn't backstab them.

I am super loyal to a fault. He tried to get me back-doored

the week after I kept him safe.

So, no, I'm not gonna forget that.

But I guess I'm going to have to be his best friend

until the nomination ceremony.

I could have put you on the block when I was HOH too.

KEANU: I know.

But, you know, I also didn't try

to get you evicted back then.

♪

See my, uh, water bottle in here?

I don't know.

♪

Oh, I'm sure.

We love Rachel, but she's gonna do anything she has

to do to stay in this game.

Rachel just found out that Keanu was trying

to get her out, literally just the last HOH, and he wins HOH,

and them two are the first two that are talking.

I think that's weird.

Do you think he'll put her up?

I think he will.

That should be the number one pick.

But all the back and forth, did they become besties?

I don't know--

I don't know what this game is.

I can see him putting Ashley.

I can see him putting Rachel.

But I can also see him putting me or you.

I don't know.

[LAUGHS]

I just got off the block.

Oh, God.

It's no secret that I put up Keanu when I was HOH.

It is a possibility that he puts me on the block

because he and I have not seen % eye to eye.

Fingers crossed that he doesn't put me up.

Let's just see.

This would be so terrible to see us three, boop, boop, boop.

Oh, my God.

Oh, God, man.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

♪

ASHLEY: Keanu and I have been at odds

and not working together practically this whole game.

So now you're telling me, in week eight,

he wants to suddenly keep me safe?

He just wanted Rachel on the block.

I don't know, Rachel.

It just doesn't make sense.

Are you sure he's telling you the truth, Rachel?

No.

But we'll find out tomorrow.

I guess we'll find out.

I'm just worried because I feel like I'm hanging

on by a thread with his trust.

Maybe.

But you're doing what's best for you.

He's going to do what's best for him.

There's still a chance that all five "Judges" are still here.

I know.

Because if he puts up Mickey, that's the silver lining.

She can't come down.

I assume he puts up Mickey and Ashley.

I don't think he puts up Rachel.

Keanu wanted me to put Rachel up

last week because I was the one who

would be in the line of fire, and he didn't

want me to mention his name whatsoever

so he could of step aside and hide behind me

doing all the dirty work.

Now that Keanu is in power, he's just never going

to take the shot at Rachel.

Yeah, something he'd probably do--

Mickey, Ashley, and Ava.

Because he knows--

But, if he's smart, you put Ava up on the block

and they go home.

I'm gonna talk to him tonight.

VINCE: Do you know what you're thinking already?

Yeah, I know what I'm gonna do.

Are we-- are we still good or?

Yeah, yeah.

I just--

I'm not one of the considerations, am I?

Um.

♪

I want Morgan to go home.

You're the only person here that would

actually use a veto on her.

I won't use the veto on her if you keep me safe.

I promise, man.

I will never do anything to blindside you, upset you.

♪

I'm not worried about you blindsiding me

or anything like that, bro.

This feels like a nightmare.

Please don't put me up, man.

And I'm sorry--

You're the only one in here who's tried to pick

me up and keep uplifting me.

And if you put my game in jeopardy, I'm just--

I can't handle that.

Please, man.

Of all people, I never thought you would put me up.

I love you, man, and I trust you to a certain extent.

But I don't believe you when you say you

wouldn't use the veto on her.

You've already burned me three times.

A fourth when I'm HOH is unacceptable,

and I'm not gonna let it happen.

There's a Veto and a BB Blockbuster, so.

Anything dude, I'll beg.

Please, man, please don't put me on the block.

I don't need you to beg.

I need you to win.

Not that, dude.

I don't know if I can win.

That's a problem, Vince.

If you don't know if you can win,

then why would I even keep you as an ally?

I'm a-- I'm a friend. I'm an ally.

I would never put you up.

I would never put you in harm's way.

You say that, and I want to believe you,

but you've literally proven me otherwise, Vince.

So, like, what am I supposed to do?

I take everything you say in consideration.

You've helped lift me up and helped me build confidence.

And you take whatever I say into consideration

and blow it out your a*s.

It's not like I'm putting you up with the intention of you

going home.

I know, but I'm going to go home.

Well, Vinny, make sure you don't.

♪

Normally, I'm pretty empathetic,

but I know Vince by now.

He messes up, cries about it, and I forgive him.

Not this time.

I knew it.

RACHEL: So, like, what is your goal

for the rest of the season?

Besides winning?

Well, obviously.

I know that.

You know, assuming that you and I can move forward.

Yeah.

I don't like to lie to people.

I also don't backstab.

I also told you that I'm very loyal.

But you don't believe any of those things.

No-- oh, my God.

You did not backstab me.

You did not lie to me.

You were not disloyal to me.

So I believe all of those things.

I believe Rachel can be a fiercely loyal ally

and I deeply regret trying to get her thrown on the block

last week.

I could have lost one of the people

that I could truly trust in this house.

I was very upset.

I assume you're talking about Rylie.

Yes.

I legitimately did consider every option

when I put Rylie up, and I'm sorry that ruined your game.

Now, in hindsight, it honestly

was probably one of the best things that happened.

What is your plan?

I would like us to continue to work together.

What does that look like to you?

Well, I promise I'm not gonna try and get

you put up or backdoored again.

How's that for a start?

I guess I can forgive you, since you have said that you

are going to keep me safe this week

and you're trying to build trust.

And you did clean the shower.

I'd like to think that not putting you on the block

supersedes cleaning the shower.

[LAUGHS]

But I felt like the shower was a good start.

America, I am sure you're confused.

Trust me, I am too.

But I have no choice this week.

I've got to work with the HOH.

That mean we're back on?

Yes, Keanu, if that's what you would like.

[LAUGHTER]

It is.

Oh my goodness.

Morgan and I were just on the block

during Rachel's HOH two weeks ago

and I was hoping that that would never happen again,

but it looks like that might be a possibility.

And Morgan is my best friend in this house,

and I really don't want to be the reason that she

might go on the block.

I don't know if I'm cut out for this game.

I feel like I've played a spineless game.

I feel like I look like a weasel.

He said he's going to.

He told me.

Vince looks like he's at his lowest point

that he's been in this game.

He feels like his game is disintegrating

because of his choices.

I'm trying not to panic because Vince is my guy

and I need to get to work.

MORGAN: Well, Mr. HOH, how does it feel?

VINCE: It feels good to know I'm safe.

I'm obviously having to make a decision on,

you know, getting people to go up still sucks.

MORGAN: I know.

So how do you feel with me in particular?

I wanted to work with you, Morgan, to be honest.

But then you told Rachel that I wanted her on the block.

So that kind of diminished that a little bit.

Like, there's a lot of people that knew that you

were coming after Rachel.

Like who?

The only people that knew that was you and Vinny.

Who would Rachel put up?

Me?

KEANU: For the same reason you should put her up.

[LAUGHS]

But we never shared that, at least I didn't.

Well, then you just gave me a reason to put Vinny up.

But you don't need to put Vinny up.

There was not a day in this "Big Brother"

world where I ever thought Keanu would even consider me

and Vince as his nominations.

This is not good.

Like, obviously I don't want to see my face up there.

But I know that I've been honest with you, at least.

That's something I can at least stand on.

I don't know what you're gonna do.

I know you have a lot to think about.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Yeah.

I need to sleep on it.

Listen, Morgan, it's : in the morning.

I just want to eat my food and go to sleep.

No matter how hard you try not to be on the block,

I promise you, you will be there.

♪

KEANU: Hey, Ava. AVA: Hey.

KEANU: How are you?

AVA: Maybe you could tell me that.

[LAUGHTER]

I don't know.

You're HOH.

I figured I should just see what's up.

[LAUGHS] - Absolutely.

Like, you know what you're going to do?

Yeah.

I had two for a lock for sure.

The third person was a little bit more up in the air.

And in no way, shape, or form would

I want this third person to go home.

I'm not going to tell you definitively that I'm not.

But-- AVA: But--

--know that that is--

Something that you're considering.

KEANU: I have a clear vision on who my two noms will be.

For my third nominee, I have a couple options,

and I want my HOH to be as transparent as possible.

So I'm going to tell her that she is a consideration.

If there were to be any sort of working relationship there

between us, the ball's in my court

to make the first move to show that that's even possible.

I am considering putting Ava on the block.

She is super well liked and if anyone sitting next to her

come eviction night, they probably will go home.

Like, oh, we can work together in the future.

And then I'm like, oh, the future is--

Hopefully that's today.

I'm like, the future's tonight.

[LAUGHTER]

Me and Keanu have not had the best history in this game.

I have yelled at him and put him on the block.

And I'm not going to lie, I'm really nervous.

I have no idea what Keanu's going to do.

But Ava Pearl does not want to go

on that block twice in a row.

OK?

MICKEY: One, congratulations KEANU: Thank you.

And I just wanted to talk to you

and let you know that I do trust you.

But I still wanted to at least chat with you.

The pool of people is significantly smaller,

and it's still three people I have to choose.

And I'm really just looking for that third person.

I have you as a question mark.

I know that sucks to hear.

Mickey's a big player in this game

and I can't trust her as far as I can throw her.

Plus, she's been on the block a couple times already

in the last couple weeks.

Might as well just do it again.

If I were even to consider putting you up there,

it would not be with the intention of you going home.

Is there anything that you feel as though that I have not

shown in regards to action?

It's not even like you've done anything in particular.

It's just like, we just don't have, like,

a close game relationship.

Like I said, I don't want you to think in any way,

shape, or form like I'm coming for you or anything.

Neither of my potential third nominees

seem too upset with our conversation,

so it looks like I got some options.

Now I just need to figure out which one of them

helps me get my primary target out of this house.

I'm still praying about it, and it's not a decision

that I take lightly.

And it is unfortunate that it is this week of all weeks.

I know.

The idea of potentially being on the block does sound scary.

I did put Keanu up on the block when I was HOH.

I do think he sees me as a threat,

and if he can't get his number one and number two target out,

let's be honest.

He's gonna come for me.

I just want to make sure I talk

to you at least before the noms actually happen.

Yeah.

I feel bad for getting so emotional yesterday.

It is what it is.

I'll take ownership of everything I've done.

With everything I've done in this game leading up

to this point, I need to talk to Keanu

one more time before nominations are actually set.

I need to make it clear to Keanu that I'm still his ally.

Because think about it this way.

What's something that Mickey, Morgan,

and Ava all have in common?

The guaranteed votes for them to stay.

And if we force them to choose who stays and who goes,

then they're forced to pick one.

If I'm up there, I'm an easy vote for them to get out.

I am going home.

That's what scares me.

The way that I see it is if I sh**t and I miss

and you go home, at least I can guarantee

that none of my allies will ever go home again.

But I'm an ally.

Are you, Vince?

Yes.

How?

You've literally been responsible for three

of them going home.

♪

What makes you think I would trust you with my game?

So, I don't know what you want me to do, bro.

I'm giving you two chances to take yourself off the block.

That hurts.

I don't know what to tell you, bro.

Sorry for, uh, all the [MUTED] I've done.

Vince, just [MUTED] win, bro.

I'm tough.

I'll win and we'll be good.

Get your head on straight, bro.

I'll get it straight.

He doesn't care whether I'm here or not.

Pretty harsh stuff, but, all right.

The only way that I stay this week is if I take myself off.

MORGAN: Hi.

VINCE: Hi.

This is the nomination ceremony.

It is my responsibility as the Head of Household

to nominate three houseguests for eviction.

In my nomination block are the keys of the houseguests

that I'm nominating for eviction.

I will turn three keys to lock in my nominations

and their faces will appear on the memory wall.

The first houseguest I have nominated is--

♪

The next houseguest I have nominated is--

♪

The final houseguest I have nominated is--

♪

I have nominated you, Morgan, Vince, and Mickey.

Mickey, we had a really good conversation on the couches

the other day, and it feels like too little, too late.

Morgan, I feel like I've extended several olive

branches to you and you've snapped

every single one of them.

[EMOTIONALLY] Vince, this is by far the hardest one.

But I feel like you have consistently

taken my kindness as weakness.

If you take my kindness for weakness,

I promise you I will put you on this block

and I will send you home.

♪

This nomination ceremony is adjourned.

I nominated Mickey, Morgan, and Vince,

but this week, my target is Morgan.

I need her out of the game because for some reason,

Vinny keeps making decisions that benefit exclusively

her and not him or me.

Once Morgan's out of the house, maybe Vinny

will actually start acting like the ally

that I actually signed up for.

It's not fun being on the block next to your best friend.

I also haven't won anything yet.

And now seems like the time to probably win something,

considering I'm on the block.

Having a Veto around my neck would

feel really good right now.

Being on the block does not feel good.

I've been able to bring myself down before.

I have a Veto I can possibly win and a Blockbuster.

One of them has my name on it and people start to realize

that I'm not going anywhere.

Oh, my gosh.

I am super surprised.

I can't believe Keanu kept his word,

didn't put me up on the block.

Maybe things are looking up for the Frenemies, our final two.

This week is a worst case scenario nightmare week.

All of my worst fears are happening.

But I need to make sure somehow,

someway that both Morgan and I stay this week.

NARRATOR: Who will win the Power of Veto?

And will it be used to save one of the nominees?

Plus, "BB" Angela is back, and she's bringing

the charcuterie.

But before that, your friends at "BB" want you to have

a fun and safe Labor Day.

And we'll see you back here Wednesday night at :,
