27x26 - Episode 26

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: Previously, on "Big Brother," Keanu and Rachel

had a secret alliance.

I will lock in a final two with you.

Perfect. Thank you, Keanu.

Frenemies.

NARRATOR: But with Vince in power--

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

My target this week is Mickey.

NARRATOR: --the kettlebell coach

urged him to make a huge move.

You might not get this chance again.

VINNY: Yeah, I know.

[quietly] If Rachel's up there on eviction night,

she's for sure going home.

NARRATOR: Vinny the Lip sold out Keanu.

Keanu was telling me, like, if we do something crazy--

I'm like, Rachel?

NARRATOR: And then, with an open seat on the block--

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

NARRATOR: --Vince decided not to target Rachel.

Katherine, please have a seat.

NARRATOR: The icon was done with Keanu.

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

and leave me alone?

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 want to look at him.

NARRATOR: And the house was done with Katherine.

JULIE: By a vote of seven to one, Katherine, you are evicted

from the "Big Brother" house.

NARRATOR: Post-eviction, Keanu was unhappy with Vince--

[quietly] Whatever, man. It is what it is.

We just gotta move forward.

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

NARRATOR: --while he tried to make amends with Rachel.

I want to know if there is a possibility

for us to make decisions together, moving forward.

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

So, there's that.

NARRATOR: At a loopy Head of Household competition,

the Dungeon Master became the master of his domain.

Congratulations, Keanu.

You are the new Head of Household.

KEANU: I'm safe for the week.

I can keep my allies safe for the week.

Little did they know, they were playing

with an all powerful wizard.

NARRATOR: Keanu promised to keep the queen safe.

[quietly] I can definitively put you on the block now.

And I'm not going to.

NARRATOR: But it was time for Vinny to pay the piper.

I'm begging.

Please, man.

Please don't put me on the block.

I don't need you to beg.

I need you to win.

NARRATOR: Vince warned his bestie she was in trouble, too.

NARRATOR: And all they could do was hold on

to each other for dear life.

At the nomination ceremony--

I have nominated you Morgan, Vince, and Mickey.

NARRATOR: --Mickey joined the star-crossed huggers

on the block.

MICKEY: I have a Veto I could possibly win and a Blockbuster.

I'm not going anywhere.

NARRATOR: Tonight, at the veto competition,

BB's Angela is back.

RACHEL: Angela!

NARRATOR: Who will win the Power of Veto?

And will it be used to save a nominee?

Plus, it leads to another expl*sive Veto meeting.

All this right now on "Big Brother."

When you take whatever I say into consideration,

and blow it out your a*s.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

This nomination ceremony is adjourned.

♪

I nominated Mickey, Morgan, and Vince.

Mickey has proven herself to be a strong player.

But I want Morgan to go home this week

because Morgan has influence over one of my closest allies

in Vince.

Maybe once she's gone, he'll grow a backbone,

and we can actually start working together.

From Keanu's speech, it's clear as day

that I'm his target.

He's under the assumption that I threw him under the bus

to Rachel, which isn't true.

So now I'm sitting on the block next to my number one

ally, Vince, who just so happens to also

be Keanu's best friend.

I don't understand any of this.

I am not surprised at all that Keanu nominated me.

He needs people that are easy to control, easy to tame,

and people that are OK with being yes men to him.

And that's not Mickey.

He's a comp beast, for sure, but allergic to logic.

Highly allergic.

I think he needs an EpiPen.

It's really sad.

I really can't even blame him.

I feel like I've played a very selfish game, even

if that hurt allies of mine.

If I had put Rachel up last week, if I had

trusted my gut instinct, I would not be on the block

right now.

I have two chances to save myself in this game.

If I don't win Veto, if I don't win Blockbuster,

I'm going home.

It's a nightmare situation I'm in right now.

That was-- wow.

The Judges alliance is on its last legs,

with two members on the block.

I'm good with Keanu, but I definitely did not foresee

Vince being put on the block.

He did it in a way to possibly try to teach Vinny a

lesson, maybe?

I'm not sure, but it was really good cinema.

I never saw that scenario.

[TENSE MUSIC]

[quietly] Hey.

Are you OK?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Do you need a hug?

[quietly] Yeah.

Thank you.

Thanks for keeping me safe.

You're welcome.

I don't want him to go home, but I gotta send a message.

Because that's unacceptable.

I'm not gonna keep watching my allies go home,

and it be because of him.

I'm not OK with that.

Not multiple times.

Well, who do you want to go home, Morgan?

I would prefer Morgan, just so that way,

Vince could finally get his head out of his a*s.

I feel great about these nominations, honestly.

I think I nominated them on week .

Keanu not nominating me this week

is definitely starting on the right path

toward us working together.

But I'm not gonna forget the fact that he

tried to get me evicted.

So, baby steps, you know?

Baby steps, Keanu.

[quietly] You're learning something in this game.

[CHUCKLES]

I feel indifferent about Keanu's nominations.

I feel really happy that me, Lauren,

and Ava aren't up there.

But as far as if it's Vince, Morgan, or Mickey that go home,

I don't really care.

Good?

It's a tough game.

[CHUCKLES]

[quietly] I love you, man.

[whispering] Love you, too.

[quietly] I can't keep showing everyone

that I'm gonna keep turning a blind eye to people

that consistently do me wrong.

Of course.

I completely understand it.

I get it.

I would feel the exact same way as you,

if I was in your position.

But I kept finding myself in all types of weird situations,

and it's just the way that the cards fell.

And I have to live with my decisions.

[quietly] Vinny, I--

I really hope you stay.

And I hope that we can do what we planned.

We will.

We will.

I don't want Vince to go home this week.

But he's up there for two reasons.

One, I don't want him using a Veto on Morgan.

And two, he needs to learn a lesson about what

happens when you backstab me and continuously

send our allies home.

[whispering] Well--

[whispering] It wasn't good.

[whispering] --I think--

[quietly] Oh, hell yeah?

Hell yeah! - [quietly] I'll be like--

[whispering] If I'm not on the block during a Keanu HOH--

[whispering] I believe in Jesus!

[GIGGLING]

Yes!

Not only am I not on the block, guess who is.

Vinny the Lip.

Guess that sweet talking didn't work on his own friend.

Sounds good to me!

There is always the possibility that I could go up as renom.

But right now, I'm taking this as a win.

[UPBEAT GOSPEL MUSIC]

[whispering] Praise Jesus.

[laughs] I told you.

[whispering] I believe.

Well, I'm sorry about that.

[quietly] I'm just like, a little disappointed.

Um, my question mark of if you

would put me up on the block is really what it came down to.

And it's fine. I get it.

I think that there are other people in this house that

are question marks or people that would potentially

put you up as well.

But I can't tell you what to do with your game.

I don't-- like, I don't want you to think like, oh, I

want you out or this or that.

Like, that's not the case.

No, I get it.

But for me, you are a gamer, and you have every capability

to take yourself down.

Obviously, you have--

I will try my best.

Keanu and I's conversation is BS.

I don't think I'm gonna go home on his HOH.

It'll be very poetic justice if he goes home in mine.

And honestly, that's the next thing I'll be manifesting

after I get off the block.

You bet your a*s I'm putting you up next week.

Get out of here.

I'll fight the Veto.

And I will just pray for the best.

- Yeah. - Thanks for chatting with me.

Absolutely. Thank you.

You OK?

Mm-hmm.

[GRUNTS]

That's a win.

We can also play in Veto.

That is a win.

While Morgan has been spending all of her time with Vince,

I've been fostering relationships with Will,

Ashley, and even Rachel.

So I'm hoping that one of them gets

picked to play Veto this week.

Because I know for a fact, they'll use it on me.

That's cool.

I'm gonna just fight in the Veto tomorrow.

If you guys get picked, we rock it out.

Prayerfully come down.

I don't know. I feel good.

At least the bulk of us are not up there.

Lately, I've been feeling better about Mickey.

I mean, I see her as a huge shield in this game.

And not only that, I love the girl on a personal level.

But I don't want these nominations to change.

Because even though Keanu said he wouldn't put up

me and Rachel, I don't trust the guy as far as I can throw

him, which is not very far.

Well, I mean, yeah, you're staying.

[quietly] Still scary, guys.

Yeah.

[whispering] You don't deserve to be up there.

[voice breaking] No one can say

I haven't been loyal because I've been loyal to you.

I can only be loyal to so many people,

and I don't regret choosing you.

I obviously hate being nominated next to Morgan.

It sucks.

I've burned everyone who's had my back except for Morgan,

and now we're gonna go down together.

The only thing I can do is win Veto.

So I'm gonna try my best.

And if I fail, then I fail trying.

[quietly] Should we go talk to him?

[quietly] He already talked to me a little bit.

[whispering] I feel like I'm his target.

[quietly] I think you are, too.

[SNIFFLES]

[quietly] We still have two chances

with Veto and Blockbuster.

Then, you're due.

You're gonna win.

As if being on the block wasn't bad enough,

on top of that, I haven't won anything this season.

I'm a former Division I track athlete.

I'm a gamer.

I've competed against some of the best gamers in the world.

So winning means everything to me.

[quietly] This feels like a nightmare.

[SIGHS] You all right?

That was tough all around, dude.

Yeah, making nominations are not easy for anyone.

Two weeks ago, Rachel nominated me.

And I went from being her enemy to in an alliance with her

in the same week.

Maybe I can work a little Morgan magic on Keanu,

and go from being his target to maybe

him looking in an entirely different direction.

Really, it just kind of came down to the fact

that I just really don't feel like I

can trust you in the game.

And it's really like, unfortunate

because there's a part of me that feels

like we could work together.

But then, I don't know, man.

[quietly] I just don't know how to like,

change my game in the direction that it's going.

Because obviously, the one person I want to have

is on the block with me.

I mean, I obviously don't want Vinny to go home,

you know?

I hope he wins the Veto.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't initially

prefer you to go home.

But there's a part of me that feels

like there is a salvageable relationship in here somewhere.

I still don't want her here.

Make no mistake about it.

Morgan has thrown me under the bus,

and Vince has some inexplicable loyalty to her.

I don't understand it.

As long as Morgan's here, I'm not sure

that I can work with Vince.

She needs to go this week.

Well, we'll see what happens.

Yeah.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Aw, look at Rachel in her cute little workout set.

Rachel's like, about that life.

- The workout life? - Yeah.

You know it.

In my real life, it's hard to find time to exercise.

But when I'm in the "Big Brother"

house, I have all the time in the world to work out.

That's why I'm introducing Feel the BB Burn--

the first ever fitness routine for the busy houseguest

on the go.

Feel the BB Burn includes traditional exercises,

but it also includes elements that you'd only find here,

in the "Big Brother" house.

Keep those legs, like, totally toned

by running upstairs and barging into conversations!

Hey, guys. - Hey.

Phew!

That sure worked up a sweat.

I'm telling you that because it's true.

I believe you.

RACHEL: You want to keep those face

muscles tight and engaged by rolling your eyes

as often as possible.

I recommend hanging out with Keanu for maximum results.

Gag me with a spoon!

Hey, Lauren, I have a question.

LAUREN: What's up?

What are some like, "Big Brother"

terms that you would say?

Like, floater, showmance.

Like, slang?

Yeah.

Work on your stamina and endurance

by waiting on Lauren to answer a question.

Um--

Do you think hanging on during the wall comp was hard?

Try hanging on to her every word.

Nominee.

That's gnarly!

Once you feel that BB burn, you'll be stirring the pot,

juggling alliances, and running circles

around your fellow houseguests with ease.

Make sure you order today!

How are you, actually?

I'm good.

OK, good.

I would love for Vince to stay.

And then, I can guarantee someone that I

don't want here goes home.

I put Vince up because I was tired of him getting

our allies out of this house.

But I don't wanna do the same thing by getting him

out, either.

I feel like he's probably learned his lesson.

So if I win the Veto, I'm gonna take him down.

And I want to get Kelley on board

so we can guarantee his safety.

[quietly] I know that you trust me.

Fully.

[quietly] And like, if you believe in me,

that means something to me.

[whispering] Yeah.

And I'm not [MUTED] around.

I would like for him to come down tomorrow,

and then I'll just swap him.

Keanu is definitely my closest ally in here.

But I'm not here to play Keanu's game.

I'm here to play mine.

And if I get picked and I win the Veto,

no, I'm not gonna use it on Vince.

What the heck?

Vince has burned me entirely too many times.

[quietly] There's a lot of game left, but--

[whispering] Yeah.

[quietly] --we're in a pretty good position.

Yeah.

Awesome.

Keanu's brain is something that I cannot figure out

like, whatsoever.

If you have an ally, why would you put him on the block?

I can't even say that because I did that, so--

But I have lost too many allies already.

So I want to make sure that Vince stays in this week,

if I have any say in it.

Yeah, I do.

I never wanted anything more in my [MUTED] life, so--

I'd love to use the Veto on Vince

to secure his safety, so that he,

Kelley, Lauren, and I can work together on this side,

while I keep working with Rachel on the other side.

I just told Lauren if she gets picked, play hard.

Win it. Use it on you.

- Really? - Yes.

I want you to stay, dude.

Thank you, man.

Thank you.

Thank you for telling her that.

So if you get it, pick her, you know?

And I'll pick her. And if not, pick Kelley.

She'll-- she'll also--

VINCE: She will?

In a perfect world, we got four out

of six people playing for you.

Keanu tells me that he wants to use Veto on me.

And I appreciate this, but even better idea, maybe just

don't nominate me to begin with.

But things are starting to look up.

I'm just really hoping that Lauren or Kelley

get picked to play in this Veto,

and I might be OK this week.

All right, I'll sleep a little easier tonight.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[whispering] I can't believe it.

I'm gonna try to win the Veto.

[whispering] Hell, yes.

Exactly.

I don't even know who he would do.

MICKEY: [whispering] That would be.

Mm.

I know.

[whispering] I think he's way smarter than we think.

I am definitely concerned in a renom situation

that it would either be myself or Ashley.

Last week, Keanu was trying to get me out of the house.

So there is a good chance that Keanu would literally

just go ahead and backstab me again

at the first chance he gets.

I just don't really trust the guy fully.

So yes, I definitely need to play in this Veto.

This season is very poetic.

Every "Big Brother" season's poetic.

This is true.

MORGAN: [quietly] Good morning.

Are you OK?

Morgan and I have just always clicked.

And it just is a good dynamic.

I have a girlfriend of seven years, so it's-- it's like

human chemistry.

But there's no romantic feelings there.

[whispering] I don't like seeing you like this.

Oh, sorry, y'all.

[whispering] Trying to wake him up.

[CURIOUS MUSIC]

AVA: It's a little awkward because I

don't remember anybody in this house waking me up that way.

This house is so weird.

Mm-hmm.

Who are we talking about?

[quietly] I walk into the have-not room,

and Morgan is rubbing his arm.

And I was like--

And she was like--

Whispered that.

I was like, OK.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, my god.

I don't even-- you know what?

I've never tried to wake Will up that way.

[LAUGHTER]

Hello.

We don't-- no, we don't do those things.

[whispering] I'm trying to wake him up.

I'm just gonna talk from my experience.

Happily married man.

I love my wife, and certain things that you just don't do.

I'm not gonna do long hugs.

I'm not gonna let anyone wake me up by rubbing my arm.

People notice.

And I just want to shake his a*s and say, dude, stop.

That's what I wanna do.

days is a lot.

It's a lot.

RACHEL: The lines get blurred.

AVA: Yes.

I know better than anyone that relationships, even

friendships, can develop really quickly, and sometimes

intensely in this game.

And Morgan and Vince, they could totally just be friends.

Let's give them the benefit of the doubt.

You know what?

And plus, it's up to everybody.

Their boundaries are different.

Like, you know what I'm saying?

[quietly] How did everybody get a showmance but me?

[LAUGHS]

[QUICK TEMPO MUSIC]

Hey, guys, time to pick players

for the Veto competition!

Let's go!

Hey, girls in the bathroom.

Even though I nominated Vince,

I don't want him to go home.

So I hope Kelley or Lauren get picked.

As HOH, I will pick.

I'm really hoping that my final two,

Lauren, gets picked to play.

She already confirmed that she would use the Veto on me.

And Keanu is OK with that, so even better.

Lauren.

[APPLAUSE]

[TENSE MUSIC]

Keanu.

Ooh.

Keanu, I'll play.

I'll play.

I choose Kelley.

Yes.

Uh, Keanu, are you OK?

You're trying to prove something to me,

and then you choose Kelley to play for you.

So does that mean you just don't trust me?

"Big Brother" will inform us when

the competition is to begin.

Good luck.

[APPLAUSE]

Yo, best case scenario.

Best case scenario. Have a seat.

Have a seat.

Oh, my God, how awesome is that?

Have a sit.

The question is who to use it on.

I guess we'll see how the week plays out.

- Who to use it on? - Yeah.

Oh, I want Vinny to stay.

I know you do.

But if I use it on Morgan, that wins me a friend with Morgan.

And that's one more vote for Vince to stay, in any case.

We gotta use it on Vinny.

I can't have him go home.

Vinny will always vote for--

for us. - Um--

KEANU: In our direction.

Are you sure?

Keanu wants to keep Vince at all costs.

But that doesn't mean I have to use the Veto on him.

If I win, I could take down Vince, who has burned me

multiple times in this game and has never been a friend to me,

or Morgan, who I could start a fresh relationship with.

[quietly] Honestly, low key, the only reason

I would want Morgan is to go is so we have Vince indefinitely.

Yep.

That would be the best case scenario.

As long as Vincent stays, it's win-win.

[UPBEAT, PLAYFUL MUSIC]

♪

Brother, that was--

that was best case scenario.

Bro, we have to pull through, bro.

Lauren's chip gets picked, and then

I just get to go pick Kelley?

Oh, my god.

That's why I'm saying.

It was best case scenario, by far.

The picks could not have gone better.

I finally have some luck.

And my whole entire game could be saved, as long as Mickey

or Morgan do not win the Veto.

[quietly] Let's take destiny into our own hands, brother.

Have to. Have to.

[SIGHS] Let's lock the [BLEEP] in, dude.

We need this one.

MICKEY: It's terrible.

It's terrible.

ASHLEY: Yep.

[whispering] Honestly, at this point, if I win it,

I would just keep the noms the same.

You know what I mean? - Yeah.

I think it's safer that way.

MICKEY: If I win the Veto, I'm considering

keeping the noms the same.

Only because I definitely know that I

have the votes to stay against Morgan and against Vance.

If I take myself down, Keanu puts Rachel up as a renom.

I might have to lose Rachel.

She's our shield.

Who's gonna be next?

Probably me.

So maybe not using the Veto would be in my best interest.

Yeah, get it over with.

So we can get it over with.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Oh hey, Keanu.

I brought you a fresh muffin.

Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

Look how sweet I am.

I made you a muffin, and I brought it to you.

You made me-- you made me my favorite food.

It's because I'm very nice and sweet.

KEANU: I know.

I'm nice to my allies.

KEANU: Yes.

The sweetest girl ever.

So, are we good?

I don't know.

I'm just checking, making sure that we're good.

Yeah, we're good.

I'm not gonna nominate you. RACHEL: OK.

I promise.

Now, Ashley, I can't promise.

Because there's only, really, two options for me.

That's Ava or Ashley.

I told Rachel I wasn't gonna put Ashley

up as an initial nominee.

But I never promised her she wasn't gonna be a fourth.

I think you're smart enough to do the math that those are

the only two options I have.

Look, I'm really glad that Keanu is not gonna put me up.

But I don't like that he's thinking

about putting Ashley up.

Keanu makes it so difficult to work with him.

If Keanu really wants to make up for last week

and prove his allegiance to me, like,

he is not gonna put up Ashley.

[quietly] But I would have to win it first.

Yeah.

[FRENCH MUSIC]

Ooh!

[EXCLAIMING, CHEERING]

The setting is definitely bringing back

memories of the Eiffel Tower, going on solo trips,

kissing beneath the Eiffel Tower.

[GIGGLES]

Welcome to "see est la vee."

Or wait, just kidding.

"See est la vee."

"See est!"

Welcome to C'est La Vie, rooftop cafe in Paris.

Please welcome our special guest, the one, the only--

Angela!

[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]

Oh, my god, it's Angela from BB!

Let's go!

Angela has a flair for the dramatics.

For the visitors that came to visit me last night,

your performance was great for a low-budget movie.

And we love that about my queen.

[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]

With a charcuterie board!

It's me, Angela from season .

I have been keeping up with this season,

and I'm watching live feeds.

What I love about BB season is it's very messy.

That's why we like "Big Brother."

I am sat.

In the words of Katherine.

I am sat.

Bonjour, houseguests.

Ever since my precious charcuterie

was stolen last summer in the "Big Brother" house--

[quietly] She's freaking eating my charcuterie stuff.

My god.

These are good.

I love it.

--I've made it my life's mission

to never let such a wicked wrongdoing happen again.

Which is why I've opened the CPA, the Charcuterie

Protection Agency.

Here, you will learn to protect every precious piece

of meat and cheeses.

Here's how it works.

Each of you has an assortment of charcuterie

and a board to stack it on.

When I say go, start stacking your charcuterie on your board

in order to save my savory snacks.

To win the Power of Veto and become a member of the CPA,

you must stack all pieces on your board and hit your button.

But this is easier said than done.

Because I'll be sending my Angela Attackers to knock over

your charcuterie at predetermined times,

that will increase as the competition progresses.

My attackers move faster than you can say--

Crazy eyes! Crazy eyes.

--"crazy eyes," so you better be quick.

VINCE: Oh, gosh.

If my attackers destroy your stack, just pick up your pieces

and try again.

The first player who stacks all pieces and hits their button

will win the Golden Power of Veto and join the CPA.

Who's ready to play Charcuterie Protection Agency?

[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]

MORGAN: Keanu did tell me that I'm not his target.

But that doesn't mean I want to sit on this block any longer.

I need to win the Veto today to secure my safety.

Pardon my French, but I need to win this [BIKE HORN] veto.

I do not want to have to rely on anybody else.

If I don't win this veto, my game could be over.

I cannot let that happen.

I put Vince up to send a message.

And I believe the message has been received.

So now it's time to win the Veto, to see if we

can get him off the block.

If I don't win this veto, there's a potential

that I can go home.

I want to have the power to decide if I need

to take myself off this block or take my chances

in the BB Blockbuster.

Is everyone ready?

Yes.

Great, because my game starts now.

[AIR HORN BLOWS]

Work fast because my attackers will strike in two minutes.

KELLEY: We need to stack all of our charcuterie pieces.

The player that finishes first wins the Golden Power of Veto.

Stacking these different shaped pieces is hard enough.

When Angela sends her attackers,

our entire stack will be knocked over.

Even though I'm a vegetarian, I have to protect

the meats and cheeses.

I notice that two of my cheese wheels

have wedges cut out of them pretty much at right angles.

If I can balance them on the outsides of my board,

it'll create a wide and sturdy base for me to build on top of.

The first two pieces that catch my eye

are the honey drippers.

The next I see are the three cheese wheels.

The two cauliflowers, I feel like they're gonna be really

hard to stack towards the top.

But I realize that I can wedge them

in between the three cheeses.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

KELLEY: My strategy going into this

is to have a really strong base and put

all the really heavy pieces first and in the center.

I used the honey dippers to create an even wider surface.

You can't go wrong with a strong base

and a strong middle.

ANGELA: Attackers, attack!

[ALARM BLARING]

Get your grubby mitts off my board!

[BOWLING PINS CRASHING]

[PLAYFUL MUSIC]

You better work quickly because my attackers

will be back in two minutes.

That's too fast!

MICKEY: One of the hardest parts about this

is remembering what was working before my stack got

knocked over.

Like, I'll be making really good progress,

but once I have to start over, I can't remember

which piece goes where.

VINCE: I quickly realize that two minutes is not enough.

It's just about practicing and getting better each time we

rebuild, until Angela finally gives us enough time

for somebody to build the full -piece

stack and hit the buzzer.

[GOOFY SOUND EFFECTS]

MORGAN: I've got a decent amount of my pieces stacked.

And to be honest, I'm feeling really

good about how solid it is.

[ALARM BLARING]

ANGELA: Attackers, go!

Don't touch my charcuterie!

[BOWLING PINS CRASHING]

I can't believe how fast these two minutes have gone by.

Two minutes is not enough time.

All right, houseguests, I'm gonna give

you a little bit more time.

My attackers will be back in three minutes.

So you better work quick.

[FRANTIC FRENCH MUSIC]

MICKEY: Now that I have three minutes,

I think I may be able to get this.

No!

LAUREN: I hope Angela doesn't believe

in the five-second rule.

Because these meats and cheeses have

spent more time on the floor than they

have on top of this board.

ANGELA: Attackers, attack again!

Those are my meats and cheeses!

[BOWLING PINS CRASHING]

OK.

I loved Angela last season.

But right now in this competition,

she is getting on my last nerve, girl.

It's good, mm-hmm.

I'm a have-not.

I can't have it.

Man, do I wish we got knee pads for this.

It's like every single time I start

to make a lot of good progress, she sends her attackers,

and I'm back to square one.

ANGELA: Attack!

Don't touch my charcuterie!

Attack!

Y'all are kidding me, right?

ANGELA: Stop it right now.

Attack again!

Hey, that's my cheese!

[CRUNCHING]

Watching these new houseguests taking all that charcuterie,

it's just giving me flashbacks.

It's my meats and cheeses!

[SIGHS]

[FRANTIC MUSIC]

[GOOFY SOUND EFFECTS]

Gotta be quicker than that.

MICKEY: I mean, I'm glad you're over there, Angela, enjoying

your charcuterie or whatever, while I'm over

here fighting your attackers.

Please take a bite for me, at least.

ANGELA: Attack again!

Stop it right now.

That is my meat and cheese.

[BOWLING PINS CRASHING]

You know what?

I'm gonna give you a little bit more time.

My attackers will strike in four minutes.

[TENSE MUSIC]

ASHLEY: I am hoping, honestly, that Keanu wins.

Because since he's HOH, he might want to keep

the nominations the same.

Morgan cannot win.

I need to win this so I can take Vinnie off the block.

Just because we're getting more time

doesn't make this easier.

This just amplifies the need for a steady hand.

VINCE: I see that Mickey is almost done with her stack.

I'm just hoping that this time runs out

or her stack just topples over.

ANGEL: Attackers, go!

Man! ANGELA: Don't you touch.

Get your hands off!

[BOWLING PINS CRASHING]

You know what?

I'm gonna give you an extra minute.

My attackers will be back in five minutes.

Oh, thanks, Angela!

With five minutes, that's more than enough time

to complete this stack.

Hello, first Golden Power of Veto.

Come to Kelley.

With four minutes, I almost had it.

So five minutes, you might be looking

at your new CPA agent, Angela.

You know what?

I'm gonna give you an extra minute.

My attackers will be back in five minutes.

Thanks, Angela!

VINCE: Knowing that the clock is ticking

every single time that I start over,

it puts a lot more pressure on this.

My slow and steady is not gonna work.

I need to go to fast and efficient now.

LAUREN: If I lose any more allies,

it's going to be very difficult for me

to navigate through the back half of this game.

So I really wanna win to take Vince off the block this week.

MICKEY: I am doing so good right now.

If I can get these on and ring in, I can win this Veto.

I don't want my fate in anyone else's hands but my own.

KEANU: We're getting down to the end here,

and I think I have a decent strategy.

Now, it's just a matter of speed

and getting them up quickly.

KELLEY: I know exactly how I need to stack this.

If I can just avoid knocking this stack over myself,

I think I've got this.

MORGAN: I haven't won a competition all season.

My back is against the wall.

It's time to show that I'm a force to be reckoned with.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[DINGING]

Congratulations, Morgan!

[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]

You have won the Golden Power of Veto.

[CHEERING]

Oh, my God.

It's the Veto!

[SCREAMS] Oh, my god, like, this is real?

[SCREAMING]

I knew I had to win the Veto today to secure my safety

and be a vote for Vince to stay.

I knew!

Morgan was my original target, but this

isn't the worst case scenario.

Mickey's still a big player and on the block.

Now I gotta figure out who I want as my replacement nominee.

- Oh! - I know.

My niece.

I'm happy for Morgan, but let's be real.

I'm still on the block.

There's a Blockbuster though, that has my name on it.

I've won it before.

I can win it again.

Have fun!

Thank you, Angela.

Bye!

Well, I guess Keanu doesn't have

to worry about me using the Veto on Morgan

because she just won it for herself.

So now his initial target is safe,

and the person that he says he doesn't want going home

is in immense danger now.

This was the wrong move, man.

This was an emotional move.

This makes no sense--

no sense for his game.

Morgan!

[TENSE MUSIC]

[whispering] It's literally me or you.

And there's nothing we can do about it.

This spells trouble for me because that means that there

is a renom on the horizon.

Let's see this week through.

[whispering] What can you do?

What can you do?

I'm like, God keeps throwing us curveballs.

Why I oughtta!

[quietly] Looks like I'm on the block.

Back!

[whispering] This sucks.

This sucks.

Morgan is gonna use that Veto on herself, as she should.

And that means I'm probably gonna be seeing the block now.

Ugh, this is my worst nightmare!

C'est la vie! - C'est la vie.

[GIGGLES]

[TENSE MUSIC]

[whispering] Listen, it's not bad.

[whispering] I tried.

I was so close, guys.

[whispering] But listen, it doesn't matter because--

MICKEY: [whispering] We're good.

[whispering] --we're good.

They are looking for you.

They're looking for you.

I was looking for y'all.

[whispering] We just need to make sure that me

and you don't go on the block.

I have an idea.

What's the idea?

[whispering] But it's like, [MUTED] crazy.

And I don't know if you'll go for it.

[whispering] OK, go.

[whispering] No, he's never putting up Lauren.

He's obsessed with her.

[whispering] Oh no, he's not.

I don't think so.

Bro, bro.

Crazier things have been done.

- That is so true. - [whispering] That's true.

WILL: That is true.

I don't want Keanu to put up Ashley.

I think Lauren is the best renom option here.

I don't know of any relationship

between Keanu and Lauren.

And Lauren's probably gonna come after me,

so that's a win in my book.

[whispering] We'll see.

Work your magic.

[GIGGLING]

[whispering] Let her cook.

[whispering] Let me cook.

ASHLEY: [whispering] Let her cook.

[whispering] I'll let you cook.

I'll let you cook.

All right, what do you need help with?

Chopping more onions?

Sure.

I need to cook the meat, the onions.

I may not have the Power of Veto this week,

but I still have the power of being a good chef

in the "Big Brother" house.

Ooh, this filling looks so good, Rach.

It's gonna be amazing.

It smells so good.

Well, it'll be really good when it's done.

Perfect.

The only thing I like better than lasagna

is really good lasagna.

I know Keanu loves lasagna, so I might as well butter him

up and divulge my new plan.

[TIMER DINGS]

Perfect.

- Oh, wow. - Aw.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

That looks like my mom's.

Mm, mm, mm.

Yeah, distract him with good food.

[CHUCKLES]

So good.

RACHEL: Can you just be done with this game already?

Like, somebody help me!

KEANU: Oh, that's checkmate.

Yay!

Good game, buddy.

Keanu, do you have like, five minutes to talk?

Yeah.

Oh, thank god they are finally done playing chess.

Like, I could not handle it for a second longer.

It's time to get down to business.

Yeah, you're going up.

Sorry.

OK, perfect.

[SCOFFS]

RACHEL: That's not what I was gonna say.

I just wanted--

I just wanted you to make my lasagna first.

No, I'm just kidding. - Well, that's fine.

I'm just kidding. What's up?

I'm just wondering what you're kind of thinking.

Like, what's your vibe?

Well, I only have two options, Ava or Ashley.

If you put Ava up or Ashley, he risks going home.

KEANU: Yeah.

So you're OK with that?

Well, I don't want Vince to go home.

I'm just playing devil's advocate.

What if Lauren goes home?

Down the road, do you trust that she's always

gonna be % on your side?

I don't think she would come after me any-- anytime soon.

She's just someone that, in my opinion,

is very easily manipulated.

And she's very indecisive.

I don't even know if Vinny stays

against Lauren, to be honest.

Unless people just really don't want him

or her in jury that bad, that they would vote her

out just for Vinny to stay.

[quietly] I mean, I don't want to see Ashley on the block.

I think that that wouldn't be ideal for your game, either.

Because if she really isn't gonna put you up

and I have her ear, there's just no reason

to make her upset with us.

No, I'd have to think about that one.

I'll always take Rachel's suggestions into consideration.

But if I put Lauren up, that guarantees

that one of my allies goes home on my HOH.

And I'm no Vince.

I don't want that to happen.

Obviously, I'm not trying to tell you what to do.

You're the HOH.

You should do what's best for your game.

It's definitely something to think about.

[SIGHS]

[TENSE MUSIC]

ASHLEY: How are you doing?

I'm OK.

No, I know you were probably not the happiest.

I decide I need to talk to Keanu.

Because I'm pretty sure he's considering

me to go on the block.

I mean, as I'm looking around, I'm like,

hmm, there aren't very many options here.

So I kind of want to see where his head is at

and what he's thinking.

Yeah, I have a tough decision.

Obviously, there's not that many people left.

So I'm assuming the potentials are me and Ava?

It's you and-- it's you and Ava, yeah.

If you put me up, I'm not gonna lie,

it's not gonna fly with me.

I do take that as a shot.

Well, I mean, OK, so Ashley, look at it this way.

Had you won this HOH, I would be your fourth nomination.

And you can't lie to me and tell me that I wouldn't be.

My fourth?

Maybe, depending on how our conversation went.

I mean, if you put me up now, you

will be in my eviction noms.

I will just say that.

You're threatening me.

No, I'm not threatening you at all.

I'm literally just laying out what the facts are.

If I was gonna be your fourth nomination,

what makes you think you're not mine?

I guess it's like, because you're burning two

bridges, instead of just one.

Like, if you put me up, I would assume

she would take that as a shot, I'm pretty sure.

Who?

Rachel.

Yeah.

I'm not backing down.

You said you were gonna keep both

me and Rachel safe this week.

If you put me up on that block, Keanu, I am coming for you.

And so is Rachel.

And I will make sure the whole house knows how big of a liar

you really are, because I don't play.

My daddy didn't raise no fool.

I don't know what to tell you.

I feel like you're getting a little hostile with me

and saying you'll put me up if I take it as a shot.

I'm like, oh, OK, well--

It's not necessarily hostile.

But I mean, you can't expect me to be like,

sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows.

I mean, come on. - No, no.

Of course.

I'm a straight sh**ter, and I'm always gonna keep it real.

Bro, Rachel tells me to put Lauren up if I wanna %

guarantee Vinny staying.

How would that guarantee me, though?

[whispering] Because they don't want her in jury.

[quietly] Oh.

[quietly] But then if I put her up, bro, that literally

goes back and defeats the purpose of why I

put you up in the first place. - Right.

Because I wasn't gonna put my allies in the line of fire.

[quietly] I know.

[whispering] I wonder if Morgan will

[MUTED] use it on you, bro.

[quietly] I don't know, dude.

I don't think she will.

You're scaring me.

[whispering] What if I tell her, if you use it on Vince,

I'll guarantee that you're safe by putting Lauren up?

And when she puts that Veto around your neck, I'm like,

all right, Ashley, sit down.

[whispering] Oh, my god.

[whispering] Oh!

[whispering] That's a play.

I know Morgan would do anything to save Vince.

And I think she feels safer sitting next to Lauren

than Ashley.

So I'm hoping she'll use the Veto on Vince

if I promise to put up Lauren.

But then I'm gonna put up Ashley.

[whispering] That might be the move.

[whispering] You could try it.

[whispering] Ooh, that would be crazy, bro.

VINCE: Initially, I'm like, there's no way this works.

There's no way. I like the idea.

It sounds amazing.

Anybody using Veto on me, of course I'm

gonna be open to that idea.

But I would be absolutely shocked if it actually works.

How you doing?

I mean, obviously, I'm feeling

great because I won the Veto.

How do you feel with Vinny right now?

KEANU: Well, I want him to say.

I know that there's one scenario where

you both stay, no matter what.

Out of curiosity, how is your relationship with Lauren?

How would you feel if she was the one to go up on the block?

I love Lauren because Lauren loves Vinny.

But I mean, I want Vinny to stay.

So like, if she ends up going home instead of Vinny,

I'm happy.

And I feel like she % goes home, no matter what.

No one wants her in jury.

MORGAN: Yeah.

But now, like, if you plan, obviously,

on taking yourself off-- - Yeah.

--that becomes much more risky.

I mean, that's what I was gonna talk to you--

I was like, yo, you stay % if I put Lauren up.

I didn't even think that you were considering Lauren.

That's why I wanted to talk to you.

Because I'm only willing to burn that

bridge if you turn around and use the Veto on him.

Would you-- would you % do that?

Because that's the only way I could legitimately

afford to do that.

I would feel safe next to Lauren on the block.

Because this week, you only need four votes to stay.

And if I were to use the Veto on Vince

and he replaced Vince with Lauren,

only one Judge remains on the block.

And there's four remaining Judges off the block

who can vote.

Therefore, your girl would stay.

KEANU: If-- if we can guarantee you to stay.

Mm-hmm.

Let me think about it.

I'll consider it.

Just don't tell anyone I'm considering it.

No, no, I won't.

I haven't even spoken to Vince about it, so--

Oh, there's Vinny. Let me see if I can grab him.

You want to grab-- you want to grab now?

Vincenzo!

Yo.

The fact that she's considering this at all

is actually wild to me.

Hello.

Vinny, I'm scared.

I'm excited, but I hope she doesn't

poke holes in the theory.

There is one way that you can guaranteed to stay,

and I can stay.

And it involves a very ballsy move and a replacement nominee.

Do you want to know what it is?

What?

If I use the Veto on you and Lauren

is the replacement nominee.

You would actually consider that?

I-- I have to act like this is the first time

I'm hearing about this plan.

Wait, why? Hold on.

How did we-- I don't understand.

Oh, my gosh!

It sounds like she's at least considering it.

It could work out.

Maybe.

You'd be comfortable with it?

I mean, comfortable is a stretch.

[LAUGHS]

Comfortable is a stretch!

This is my dream, OK?

For the record, I've been close with you since day one.

I've been close with you since day one.

I've always wanted us to be on the same page.

I can't have you leave this house.

I think that's the move, bro, I'm telling you.

At the end of the day, his proposition is pretty enticing.

I mean, all five Judges can make it past this week.

But that's if he follows through.

He could easily be like, ha, fooled you,

backdooring Ashley to make sure one of us on "that side"

goes home.

Do I risk it for a huge biscuit?

I don't know.

This could end up changing the trajectory of my game

in the best way or the worst.

Ugh!

This turning point in games, like,

this feels like "Big Brother."

Insane!

[SIGHS]

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

I don't want to say something stupid, but I mean, you've won

"Big Brother" before.

Would it be stupid to not use a Veto on myself?

I mean, would it make great TV?

Sure.

[EXHALES SHARPLY] Morgan, if you do that,

you have to guarantee that Keanu is gonna put someone

up there that goes home. - I know.

I really thought about this, but I just

can't trust that Keanu would actually put up

Lauren if I take down Vince.

So I would prefer to use the Veto on myself.

He swears that he would do Lauren.

Well, he's considering it.

But that doesn't mean he's gonna do it.

Morgan is skeptical of Keanu actually following through with

what he says he would, as she should be, because he wouldn't.

Obviously, I would be super grateful if Morgan

did use the Veto on me.

But if she just uses it on herself,

I'll figure out my own way out of this.

I was technically initially his target.

Why the [MUTED], if I'm on his target, would I be like, oh!

As the target, here.

Guess what.

Your target is back on the block.

Like, it doesn't make sense.

[SIGHS]

[TENSE MUSIC]

This is probably the most stressful week of my life.

I just wanna say that. And I have the Veto.

Like, why is this-- this is not supposed to be so stressful.

Anything to keep me safe, I'm happy with.

Well, I mean, yeah.

I'm sorry to put you in that position,

but not sorry at the same time.

This is where the game gets tough.

[whispering] Yeah.

Well, the plan almost worked.

It seemed like Morgan was legitimately considering

using the Veto on Vince.

But now we gotta pivot.

So, what are you thinking?

Just going through over all my options.

It's really all I've been doing today, so--

Yeah.

If you put Ashley up, then she's gonna stay,

and Vince would end up probably going home

if he doesn't win Blockbuster.

Well, my priority is to stay, for sure.

What if there was another option?

Like what?

Like, that won't leave this room.

OK.

Well, you know the other option.

Ava?

To me, that's a lateral move, and I

have a much better relationship with Ava than I do with Ashley.

Keanu has made it explicitly clear

that he's only considering two renom options, Ashley and Ava.

I adore Ava.

But right now, I am closer with Ashley.

And I need to do whatever I can to make sure that she doesn't

hit the block this week.

[quietly] Yeah, not many options.

Are you gonna start targeting me if I put Ashley up?

Even if she doesn't go home?

I mean, I guess you're gonna have to find out, Keanu.

Do you want us to leave, you guys?

I could-- yeah.

Well, I'll come--

we can chat later. - Yeah.

OK.

Morgan, do you want these French fries?

I can take them from you.

Wait for me.

Wait for me, please.

I warned you well in advance that she could be considered

for a fourth nomination.

I'm obviously not OK with her going on the block.

If she doesn't go home, then I don't understand why

that affects our relationship.

I mean, you've won "Big Brother,"

and you've played three times.

So I guess you're-- you're right here.

I'm not even saying that at all.

It is what it is at this point.

I know Rachel doesn't want me to put Ashley on the block.

But if I'm gonna burn this bridge with Rachel anyway,

I might have to consider putting her up instead.

If you're gonna tell me some [MUTED] like

[MUTED] around and find out, that's two

of my favorite things--

[MUTED] around and finding out.

[quietly] Yeah, it's your HOH.

So you need to do what's best for your game.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Hey, everyone.

It's time for the veto meeting.

[TENSE MUSIC]

♪

This is the veto meeting.

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

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

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

Keanu, since I have just vetoed one of your nominations

for eviction, you will have to name a new houseguest

as a replacement nominee.

I have every indication that this person is gonna stay.

♪

Ashley, please take a seat.

Congratulations.

I know for the past seven weeks,

you've been trying to get me to go on the block,

so glad you finally succeeded.

And also, congrats on, you know, giving up the Tarzan act

and putting a pair of shoes on your feet.

But somehow your foot is still in your mouth,

because on Thursday, you said that I'm safe for the week.

So, congratulations.

Please, keep going.

And I love that, you know, it's no surprise

because you're the biggest liar in this house,

and everybody knows it.

And somehow, you think you're a mastermind,

yet you put your own ally on the block.

Some mastermind, that potentially he

may go home on your own HOH.

What a failure there.

And you know, you'll be seeing your face

on that wall on Friday, I'm pretty sure of it.

So enjoy your power, Keanu. - Are you done yet?

Can you just please sit down? - Kisses.

KEANU: Can you just please sit down?

Oh, I'll sit. I'll take a seat.

- Don't talk to her like that. - And guess what.

You'll be taking a seat here on Friday as well.

KEANU: OK, OK.

Are you done?

Oh, I'm done when I say I'm done.

Are you done?

Don't talk to me like that.

You think you are the biggest narcissist in the house--

KEANU: Are you done? Are you done?

--and can go off and talk to women like they're crazy.

And it's not gonna happen here.

Now, I'm done.

I also never said you were safe for the week.

Actually, you did. KEANU: I didn't.

I think you told Rachel the same thing, too.

Did he not, Rachel? - He did.

Rachel, I told you she was safe for the week,

and that she wasn't gonna be a consideration

for a fourth nomination?

[CHUCKLES] OK.

You forget that this is a social game, Keanu.

You can't win your way to the end.

Nice, Rachel.

♪

This veto meeting is adjourned.

KEANU: Ultimately, I decide not to put up Rachel.

Because the fact of the matter is,

moving into this next phase of the game, I need her.

And I think she needs me.

She's mad now, but a BB legend like

her has to see that we are the two

biggest targets in the house.

If one of us goes, the other one won't be too far behind.

And am I worried about Ashley?

Let's just say, I might be if she actually ever won anything.

Keanu putting me on the block this week

is incredibly frustrating because I

never would have put him up.

So for him to put me on the block to teach me

a lesson is the dumbest game move

you could possibly imagine.

But you know what?

I'm gonna win the Blockbuster, and turnabout is fair play.

And I don't know, Keanu, maybe I'll

have to teach you a lesson at some point in this game.

ASHLEY: If Keanu really thinks Rachel

and I won't come after him for putting me up,

he's even more arrogant than I thought.

So what I'll say is, you better stand on all

of those Tarzan toes because Rachel

and I are coming for you.

Good luck, buddy.

You're gonna need it.

RACHEL: I am done playing with Keanu.

Like, you don't put my best friend on the block

and risk her going home under any circumstances.

The only worse thing would have been for him to put me up.

But you know what?

Maybe he should have put me up.

Because now, guess what, Keanu.

I'm gonna come for you.

NARRATOR: Which nominee will save themselves

with the BB Blockbuster--

Vince, Mickey, or Ashley?

And who will be the last houseguest evicted pre-jury?

Plus, The Mastermind returns with a dreadful decree.
