28x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Big
Brother... Yeah!

Fourteen all-new house guests began the BB
time trip.

And they were quickly joined by three
familiar faces.

David!

Oh.

Oh!

I am shook.

I did not see this coming.

After Loam, Chuck, and Jason won safety...

You have won this competition and safety
for the whole week.

Angela, Dee, and Devin's went to battle to
become the first head of household.

With each icon getting a team of newbies
to help...

I am innocent!

The former survivor winner built a blaze
of glory.

I am the first head of household!

Dee and Devin solidified a powerful
partnership.

I'm open for whatever.

Me too.

I'd love, like, I'd like you.

A hundred percent.

I am so relieved that Devin wants to lock
in with me.

And quickly formed a five-person alliance
with Angela, Drew, and Barrett.

Crossover.

Like, what are other names?

Crossovers.

I like Crossovers.

We are solid.

Covering their bases, the survivors also
made a separate squad with Chuck,

Haley, and Kamu.

The red corner.

Okay.

The red corner.

The red corner.

Meanwhile, Lyric and Roam were forming a
duo built less on strategic gameplay...

and more on smoochie smoochie.

He's kissing on the fricking set.

Dee had a plan for her nominations.

I'm leaning towards nominating one person
from each group from the HOH competition.

And at the first nomination ceremony of
BB28...

I have nominated you, Mallory,
Josh, and Taylor.

Dee ex*cuted her plan.

It doesn't feel good to be nominated.

I obviously don't want to be the first one
to go home.

Tonight, it's the inaugural veto
competition of the season.

And a couple of BB legends join in on the
fun.

Citizens of Will World, you're looking
more beautiful than ever.

Who will win the golden power?

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

Plus, it took nearly a week, but Angela's
first BB breakdown is here.

All this right now on Big Brother.

BB28!

This nomination ceremony is adjourned.

I decided to put up Josh, Mallory,
and Taylor.

I wanted to choose one person from each
team from the HOH competition.

And they're just the people I've had the
least amount of connection with.

I need to keep these nominations in place.

Coming in as an icon, I already have a big
target on me.

Gotta get out there.

So the last thing that I
want to do is nominate

a fourth person and get
more blood on my hands.

Showtime, baby.

Come on, let's go.

Game started, right?

Now it's time.

Dee made a boneheaded move, and it does
not take a genius to see that.

I helped her win HOH.

No, all those are outside, so that means
that inside piece is next in your hand.

Yeah, yeah, that one goes.

We're all safe this week, all right?

Our whole group thought we were safe,
and then she put me on the block.

How does that make any sense, bro?

Might as well throw Dee's word in the
trash, because it don't mean...

I'm sorry about that.

It's time.

Dang, I feel bad for
these girls, but baby, I

won safety night one,
along with Chuck and Rome.

So we're chilling this week.

Kayla, at least you got two chances.

Yeah, that's all.

I'm good.

I'm good.

I'm good.

I'm getting off the block.

I'm not even worried about it.

I'm not gonna lie.

Being on the block week one is very
devastating.

But I have to keep it cool.

People want a reason to send you home.

So acting erotic is not a good look.

I meant erotic.

Oh, let's try again.

Ha!

I'm just gonna keep it calm and focus on
winning the golden power of veto.

Come here.

You're okay.

I really wish I didn't cry.

I just feel like a baby.

Like, I came here to do this.

I came here to win.

I came here knowing I
might be on the block,

and I wish I was just
kind of toughing it out.

But I'm not.

It's okay.

It's okay.

This is when you pull yourself together.

I just don't want to be the first person
that goes home.

So I'm definitely gonna be gunning for the
veto.

I don't want to be on the block.

That shocked me.

Yeah.

If anything, you have two chances to pull
yourself up.

Oh, give me those obs.

I don't think that Dee should
have put up Yash because Yash

was a part of her team that
helped her win the HOH competition.

Dee could absolutely get some backlash for
this.

And because she's a part of my red corner
alliance, I have a vested interest in

making sure that her target doesn't get
any bigger.

Who knows who's gonna play in that veto?

Yeah.

If I have to bank on anyone to save my
eyes, it's gonna be me.

It's showtime now, though, baby.

Come on.

Hey, Mallory.

Hi.

No, I'm sorry for crying.

Are you kidding me?

No, I'm sorry.

No, I don't want you to be sad about that.

You should not be sad about that.

It's just, like, I had to keep sitting
here.

It's not about me.

It's... I understand, and I'm really
sorry.

Yeah, I'll, like... We can talk later.

I'm, like, a little too flustered right
now.

Yeah, absolutely.

Okay.

Okay.

That makes sense.

That makes sense.

Hey, Mal.

Mal, this blows.

Hey, girl.

Not the move I would have made.

I see where she took one person from each
group.

That makes sense.

That makes sense.

No, yeah, but, like, it's, like, Ashley
and Barrett, so they weren't on any team.

Listen, I get that Mallory's upset.

Like, I'm gonna be upset when I get
nominated, too.

I know.

I, like, feel the tears just coming at my
face, and I just want it to stop.

But she's, like, so rattled and just
throwing names out in front of everybody.

We do not know who's working with who yet,
and she's just going for it.

This is not good game play.

I know you probably don't want to hear any
advice from anybody, but don't come out

here and say, like, not what I would have
done.

I wouldn't put, like, a Barrett or an
Ashley, because I didn't even play.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah.

And you're emotional.

I agree with Drew.

Mallory should not be acting this way.

Mallory, Lyric, and I are close,
and people in the house know that.

So with Mallory crashing out, that might
come back to hurt me and Lyric.

Listen, Survivor and Big Brother are two
totally different games.

But one thing they do
have in common is when

things go your way,
you can start dancing.

Doing the dead c*ck, baby.

You did so good.

Let's go.

I've been locked in with
Dee since the moment she

arrived in the house,
and we're at a great spot.

We're right in the middle of two different
alliances.

We have the Red Corner Alliance,
and we have the Crossover Alliance.

We're in the middle, so we
can negotiate both sides, but

the Crossover Alliance is
where my heart is right now.

Guys, we're doing this.

I know.

This is amazing.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm okay.

I promise I'm okay.

I wanted to give you your space.

No, I promise I'm okay.

Okay.

Yeah, I promise.

On Survivor, when you vote someone off,
they're gone forever.

You're not going to see them again.

But when you nominate
someone on Big Brother, you

still have to live with
them for the whole week.

So I got to get to work now and do some
damage control.

I'm nervous, because you never know.

You think you're safe, and you're walking
out that door.

Taylor is a no BS kind of girl,
and I feel like I'm the same way.

So I'm hoping if I'm straight
up with her, she can respect

that, and we can start working
towards an active relationship.

I appreciate you putting me on now,
because that gives me not one,

but two chances.

Yeah.

And again, I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

I promise you, I'm still your bestie.

I want to show you I want to work with
you.

Okay.

And I know we haven't been, but we're
good.

Yeah.

I actually believe Dee
when she says that she

wants to work with me,
but I cannot rely on Dee.

I'm here to play, and
I'm here to secure my

own safety by winning
the golden power of Veto.

I'm going to be okay.

I don't stop until the whistle blow.

Absolutely.

And the whistle ain't blow yet.

Yep, yep, yep, yep.

So it's okay.

Girl, I'm good.

You're good.

I know it is hard, but it's going to be
okay.

It's going to be okay.

It's hard though.

I ain't going to sit here and tell you not
to cry.

I know I want, trust me, I want to stop
crying.

Yeah.

I think right now with all my crying,
people are thinking that I'm defeated.

Don't stop until the whistle blow.

Yeah.

But I'm not someone who's just going to
give up and accept my fate.

Now I'm just going to have to go talk to
Dee.

This never came over.

I understand your reasoning, like you're
trying to be as fair as you can.

There's like no real reason to put up
anybody yet.

Yeah, like with you, I felt like we hadn't
had a lot of like strategy talk.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I understand that.

Like strategy, deep talk.

I just really don't want to be the first
one.

It's like two days out of three days.

It's like for everybody, but obviously no
one wants to be the first one to go home.

But I don't want you to go home.

I know.

But if you had to pick like one of the
three, like who would you want to go home?

It feels like Yash would be a good option.

I'm being really honest when I'm telling
Mallory that I want Yash to go home.

I feel like Yash could be a physical
threat, but he's also extremely smart.

But would I be upset if Mallory goes home?

Not really.

At the end of the day, she's kind of my
backup target.

I guess if you do have
any chance of influence,

I guess just push
people towards Yash.

I don't know what to believe from what Dee
is saying.

It's great that she would
rather Yash go home, but I'm

going to take care of this
myself and win this veto.

There's been times in my life that I've
felt pretty hopeless and down,

but I know I'm a fighter and I'm not going
to give up.

I'm Mallory and I got this.

I got to lock in tomorrow.

Hey Rome, we got a... Miss Burger is here.

Guess who's making burgers?

Who?

Rome.

Is he?

Yeah, and we're making an Ashley burger.

Yes, the rumors are true.

I have yet to have ever eaten a hamburger
before.

I've just never gotten around to it,
never had the opportunity.

I was a picky eater, stubborn child.

This is her first ever burger.

Okay, ready?

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Mmm.

I'm tasting all the flavors.

I'm really soaking it in.

It's so very delicious.

Like your first ever cheeseburger,
was it the Big Brother?

And I like it.

I got you girl.

I'd rather die.

I feel like if I use it on Mal, I'm
associated for like the rest of the game.

And like it's going to be an isolation.

It is going to be an isolation.

I don't want to be isolated.

We're going to have to
like... I know this sounds

terrible, but we're going
to have to branch out.

I agree with Melody.

I think Mallory's reaction
definitely puts the idea

of do I need to pull away
from Mallory into my head.

I love Mallory with all my heart, but
it is a tough position for me to be in.

If any one of them come
off, I don't want her to be

like, well, let's just get
somebody out of this trio out.

And now that the nominations are up,
it's making it more apparent.

And that's why Mallory being
on the block, it's going to ruin

our game right away if we
don't like fix it right, like today.

Obviously, like so hard.

H.O.H.

But it's Big Brother.

Yeah.

It's the game.

And I didn't even think about that.

Like putting someone up from every group
is such like a smart way to do that.

Like very fair.

No one can really be like...

And then it's only day four.

Yeah.

And with Mallory, like, I know,
like, I've been close to her.

She's so sweet.

And you can tell she cares.

But also, like, it's the first week.

Like, I don't have like an allegiance to
Mallory.

I'm not lying to Dee.

Me and Lyric never made an alliance with
Mallory.

So for my game, I need Dee to not group me
with Mallory at all.

Because if I am associated with her,
then I am concerned that if she does come

down from the block, that I would be the
replacement nominee.

We clicked with her.

I love her.

And she's very sweet.

And I would consider her my friend.

Like, and it sucks to see her.

And I want her to go out there and fight
her heart out.

Right?

And I... You never know.

Exactly.

You never know.

Because you don't.

It's a game.

It's a game.

And at the end of the day, like,
I don't have an allegiance to her.

The good thing about
being HOH is that I get to sit

back and observe how
people are playing the game.

But at the end of the day, everyone's
going to tell me what I want to hear.

Right?

And Melody is one of those people.

And she's trying to diminish her
friendship with Mallory.

But it's just like a little too obvious.

Like, you're telling me this because
you're close.

Right?

So just don't bring it up at all.

Like, no one here is stupid.

That just makes me see exactly how close
you are.

I feel bad, but it's like it's week one.

I came here to win.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're in Big Brother.

Like, we're in Big Brother now.

Oh, that one was mine.

No?

Oh, yeah.

I already did some damage control with the
HOH.

So now I need to find some new allies.

Like, I'm just concerned about if she,
like, isn't having a good attitude.

For sure.

Let's talk then.

Get on my level.

My level, bro.

No, no, no.

You gotta hang up.

Oh, oh, okay.

Alright, so... Okay.

You wanna, like, jump ship?

Yeah, because I think with the way that
she, like, reacted, it's like,

even if she's not, like, a threat for the
house, like, I don't know if I wanna play

a game with someone
who's gonna, like... Right.

When I first met Drew, I
thought he was that obnoxious

frat boy guy, but now I feel
pretty comfortable with him.

This is serious.

And I'm in the head.

I can't put all my eggs into the Mallory
and Lyric basket.

I think Drew is a great option to help me
branch out.

I never, like, formed an official,
like, alliance with her.

Listen, I feel like I can trust you.

Yeah.

I think we should set in stone... us.

Yeah, I agree.

Let's do that.

Right.

I'm putting my trust in you.

Yeah.

Like, I gotta be your number one guy,
and you gotta be my number one girl.

The fact that Melody is so willing to jump
ship on Mallory is a terrible sign.

But that doesn't mean she can't be useful
to my game.

My loyalties are 100% with the crossovers.

And having her on the
outside could be a great

source of information
that could help us.

Okay.

If that's the plan.

Yes.

And then we see how the video goes
tomorrow.

Okay.

I may not be on the block right now,
but I am concerned that if someone is

taken off the block, that
I could be a replacement,

especially with my
association with Mallory.

The only thing I feel comfortable with is
me sitting with that veto around my neck.

But first, I need to get picked to play.

Actually, I'm gonna get out of here.

Why?

Because my feet are falling asleep.

I hope I'm not wobbling.

Hold on.

I'm gonna flip.

Yeah.

Really?

Actually, I don't even know how to get out
of this.

Oh, my God.

Oh, no.

No, no, no.

What did I do?

What the f*** did I just do?

Did I just break your tub?

No.

No, no, no.

On Survivor, you don't
get the luxury of showering,

so your shower is just
hopping in the ocean.

I am gifted this luxurious bathtub.

And guess what?

Angela breaks my damn tub.

Okay, why did that come out?

It just goes full blast.

Dee, I'm so sorry.

We gotta let... I'll let them know.

I'm not paying for it.

That was my big a*s.

Oh, no.

Hopefully, the bathtub is the only thing
that Angela damages during my HOH.

Oh, my a*s.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, my a*s.

Whoa.

It's impossible to find private time with
Lyric in the Big Brother house.

It's like sneaking around in high school,
trying to stay away from your parents.

I'm a dreaming lion.

But Lyric's kind of the mastermind of
finding time for us to hang out.

This is gonna be really hard.

The way Mallory reacted was like,
not good.

I like you more and more every day,
which is great.

Because now it's getting harder and harder
to hide it.

I know.

You're gonna do a pretty good job.

I'm not worried at all.

I like you.

And I'm willing to admit that.

Playing the game and having a showmance,
boy, it is not for the weak.

Because I know from the past seasons that
it can be an extremely bad thing.

But do I constantly look over to Rome?

Yes.

Do I constantly want to be alone with him
and talk with him?

Yes.

And he's like, really good looking.

I feel good, though.

And besides, there have been many other BB
showmances that have gone the distance.

Rachel and Brendan, Jeff and Jordan.

So why not the Roman Lyric?

I trust you.

Hey, everyone.

It's time to pick players for the veto
competition.

Let's go.

Hey, it's time.

Oh!

Only six people will participate in the
veto competition.

The head of household,
the three nominees and

two other players
selected by random draw.

Will the nominees please join me up here?

I want someone from my crossover alliance
to get picked because I know that no

matter who gets picked, they're going to
keep my nominations the same.

The winner of the golden power of veto is
safe for the week and has the power to

remove one of the nominees from the
chopping block, including themselves.

I, as head of household, will pull two
chips out of the box to determine the two

other players competing in the veto
competition.

This box contains a chip for every
eligible houseguest.

If I pick my own chip or
one of the nominees' chips,

that person gets to
choose any player they want.

As HOH, I will pick...

Barrett.

Even though I'm not on the block and
feeling safe with my fellow crossovers,

I am very happy to compete in this veto.

After losing the first competition night
one with Ashley, I am definitely looking

to redeem myself and to show the
houseguests that I am able to compete.

I would love for one
of my girls, Lyric or

Mallory, to get picked
for this veto competition.

They're my closest friends and I think
that they would save me.

Mallory.

As a Big Brother fan, I
have been wanting to play

in a veto competition since
I was in my mom's womb.

But if I do win the veto, I'm not going to
use it on Mallory.

I'm an only child, so one of my strengths
is thinking of me always.

So that's what I'm going to do.

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

Good luck.

Oh my God!

Mary, you get to play!

You lucky dog!

It's going to be good, I'm so excited.

Veto!

I know.

You've got to come for it, because if
she's picking someone from every team,

she might be like, now I'm picking someone
who was on no team.

Yeah.

And then obviously use it on me.

Then clearly use it on you.

Okay.

Want a little coffee, Tom?

Oh yeah.

We got this.

I'm kind of nervous.

This is the veto comp right now,
right?

Lock in.

Exactly.

Okay, okay.

It's easier, lay back and touch.

So you go like this.

No, I'm just kidding.

But I am glad that we're going to talk.

What?

Yeah, of course.

This is the first chance I'm getting to
speak to D101 since being nominated,

and I want to make sure
she knows it was not cool

to put me up on the block
after promising me safety.

I did feel a bit blindsided.

I wish you gave me a heads up.

When I saw my face up there, I was like,
damn.

Especially as someone who helped you win
the power.

And then I was like, if you're going to
use that power on me.

Oh my God.

You did say when we celebrated,
we're all good.

We're all safe this week, all right?

Yash seems to seem like I told everyone in
my team at the HOH comp that everyone's

safe, and to be completely honest,
I don't even remember.

And that part hurt.

Bruh, I'm so sorry.

It just felt like the most, less blood.

Like this is a...
Diplomatic move.

Yeah.

Like your logic made sense, but that's the
part that like kind of hurt.

I definitely knew that
there was risk putting

somebody up from my own
team from the HOH comp.

Yeah, as it turns out, Yash is upset about
it.

So now I've got Yash and Mallory upset
with me.

My mission going into
this veto is to win because I

need one of them to stay
up on the block and go home.

I'm really sorry.

The energy even today is like a little
shifty with now who's playing the veto.

Yeah.

You could be honest, do you think you
would use it on me or no?

Like in a perfect world, like yes,
duh.

But like...

I don't know.

It's hard because like
it's the first week, so

like nobody wants to
like get on D's bad side.

And also like risk
someone that we might

really f*** with too up
on nomination blocks.

Yeah.

It's OK.

It's honestly not OK, Melody.

I don't know why you wouldn't use the veto
on one of your closest friends.

If you were on the block, you would
definitely have me in your corner.

But I guess I have to do this veto all by
myself.

Thanks for nothing.

See who wins and if you can take yourself
off.

Obviously, that would be great.

Yeah.

I'm safe this week, so I don't have to
stress.

So it's been nice to just be like
chilling.

How are you doing?

Let me cook.

Let's clean.

In my g*y world, I'm very immature and
reckless and I party and I go off and I...

In my everyday world, I'm very careless,
reckless and wild.

How wild?

Girl, I'll do anything.

Define wild.

Like I don't, I rarely turn down a dare.

Oh.

I was on that cruise with a lot of big
brother people and the fans and all that.

And we had a white
night and you had to wear

all white and go into
the ballroom of the ship.

Well, everybody was like
off to the sides, not really

dancing very much or just
standing on the dance floor.

You know, nothing's gotten started just
yet.

So I look down, I was
like, and I start, I take

my purse and I'm like
spinning and I went down.

And I was like, nasty dancing with Howie.

Yeah.

Oh, and Howie.

From big brother, like I was like,
Howie, like I'm coming for you.

The image of Angela and Howie getting
jiggy with it on the dance floor.

Baby, I know that ship was rocking.

Okay, they don't even need an iceberg.

That ship's going down.

There's like nothing holding me back.

I'll do anything.

Love that.

You wear sunglasses while bowling and pop
his collar.

A toy car.

What's going on?

What the?

What just happened?

What is that?

Power scales to the past.

Meet me in the dining room.

Oh my God, it's Howie.

Big brother legend.

And I was just talking about him earlier.

And now here he is.

I think the real question is, would Howie
like me?

Because he's such a ladies man and he's
the master Jedi.

So like, can I be your Leia?

Kind of thing, you know?

Like, let's do this.

I'm married, by the way.

Strictly platonic.

I had to bring you a dire warning from the
future.

I'm the great, great, great, great,
great, great, great, great, great,

great, great, great, great, great,
grandson of Beefcake, Big Boy,

Jedi, Hurricane Howie.

My ancestor used to trade barbs with Dr.
Will.

I practice clinical dermatology.

That's what I like.

But I also practice cosmetic dermatology.

It's my contention that these days,
if you want to do something that makes you

look better and it
makes you feel better

about yourself, there's
no problem with that.

Let's show him your forehead, please.

Okay, see the wrinkles Howie has on his
forehead?

It makes him look old.

We have a lot of work to do with Howie.

This is wisdom right here.

Can it be?

Well, they're asymmetrical and they're
deep.

They're furrows.

He looks like a worried person.

Absolutely needs Botox across his entire
forehead.

Also around his eyes.

We'll take that.

It'll blunt it, open up his eyes a little
bit, raise his brow just a little bit.

But you can't even, he can't even have
facial expressions after that.

How much expression do you need?

Oh God.

I do my own Botox.

Where have you had it?

Forehead and I have, sometimes I do it
around the eyes.

And I always do it in the middle here.

But now I lead the fight against Will's
tyranny in the future.

I brought this video for my time.

You have to see it.

Welcome to Will World.

Named for Big Brother's most famous,
successful and good looking house guest,

the one and only Dr. Will Kirby.

Will really made his mark
when in 2027, he created Wiltox,

the beauty formula that
allows you to live forever.

Public demand was through the roof.

People would pay any price for his
injections.

Will became so rich and so powerful that
Earth was renamed Will World in his honor.

A utopia of youth and beauty.

That video was pure propaganda.

The truth is, Will snuck into this house
and hijacked the dining table time machine.

The proof was in the premiere episode.

I just got chills.

You heard a thunking in it?

Oh my gosh, he was here.

Will then traveled 1,000 years into the
future and stole state of the art

longevity tech so he could look young and
handsome forever.

After becoming the
world's first gazillionaire,

no one could prevent
his rise to power.

So now I need your help to stop him.

I will meet you there and
instruct you how to send him back

to the past and end Will's
reign of handsome horribleness.

I'll see you guys in the future.

Citizens of Will World, you're looking
more beautiful than ever.

Thanks to me.

But I'm hearing some
rumblings that some of you

believe that Willtox has
gotten a little too expensive.

A hundred million to live forever?

Well, that sounds like a bargain.

Low on Kirby crypto?

Work harder!

Because remember, only the freakishly
attractive will have a place in Will World.

Welcome, HaasFest.

We are directly underneath
Dr. Will's penthouse

and this is our one
opportunity to stop him.

I've already equipped your dining table
time machine to the building's power

system, but I need your help to connect it
to Will's throne.

Then we activate it, sending
Will back to the past, setting

off a chain of events that
will stop his rise to power.

Here's how it works.

Use the time tubes in your lane to connect
the table time machine to the power tubes

that charge his throne.

The tubes must form a
continuous pipeline from

the timetable to the
throne's connection port.

To generate enough power to transport such
a gorgeous man, the tubes must travel

through all 11 power amplifiers in your
lane.

There may be more
than one solution, and you

do not have to use all
the tubes in your lane.

Once you have built a pipeline through all


The first player to do so
can flip the switch, bringing

Will back from the future and
earn the golden power of Veto.

Who's ready to play Back from the Future?

As a rocket scientist, I
use spatial awareness

and problem-solving
skills like this every day.

So this Veto is right up my alley.

There is so much at stake for this
competition.

Melody told me she wasn't sure if she
would use the Veto on me.

Barrett told me that he would.

I have a feeling if I'm
still on the block on

Thursday that there's a
good chance I'm going home.

I really want to win this Veto competition
because, one, I want to prove myself as a

competitor, and two, I want to guarantee
my own safety.

I don't want to risk being a renom because
of my association with Mallory,

so I'm gunning for this Veto.

Okay, definitely not.

In this competition, we have to connect a
series of time tubes from the dining table

time machine through 11 powered amplifiers
to the connection port into Will's throne.

The first player to connect both sides
with an unbroken line of time tubes while

passing through the power amplifiers will
win the golden power of Veto.

But

this is my chance to earn my safety and
show these other house guests that when

I'm giving a lemon, I'm going to make some
delicious lemonade.

My strategy going into this is to start at
the end closest to the tubes, so while I'm

getting the hang of it, I have all the
pieces readily accessible.

Right away, I see that there's a time tube
that's longer than the rest, and it has a


see that there's two rings

with a pretty big vertical
distance between them.

So my strategy is to just
go for it and try to use my

visual-spatial awareness to figure
out which time tubes go where.

Just breathe, have fun.

Breathe and have fun.

This is crazy.

Going into this Veto competition,
I want to keep the noms the same,

but I definitely don't want Mallory or
Yash to win.

I'm a competitor, so I'm going to give
this my best shot.

I'm nervous.

I'm literally so nervous.

As we get rolling, we're going to be good.

I do want to win the Veto
to show my fellow crossovers

that I am someone who
can be an asset to them.

But I do not want to use the Veto.

I need to get my a*s off the block.

I know that there's nobody else up here
that would use the power of Veto on me,

and I have a feeling I'm going to be
pretty good at this.

I do not want to have to rely on the BB
Blockbuster to be safe this week.

A lot of these pipes are really close in
length, so you might think it's going to

fit, but then you end up just a little
short or just a little too long.

I feel like Goldilocks.

I see this short, straight
pipe, and I know that

that's the piece that's
going to go in front of me.

But I don't know what
it connects to yet, so I

think I'm going to start
from the back instead.

I'm having a lot of trouble with the time
tubes.

There's different sizes, and I'm freaking
out.

Put me on physical challenge, put me on
balance, put me in tossing, but anything

that requires me to use my brain cells,
I am really, really bad at.

This competition is making me feel so damn
stupid.

This competition is just not for me,
and I am okay with saying that.

I don't even know what pipe to put next.

This is not making no sense.

I'm going left, right, up, down.

Oh, my gosh.

Good, good, good, good.

She's not looking good.

I think this is not my thing.

I am, like, comically struggling.

Do I understand this?

That's it, Barrett.

Good job, man.

I feel my own fellow house guests lose
their hope in me.

Barrett, did I mention how pretty you
were?

I'm feeling real pretty right now.

Oh, no, I'm going to get the dumb out of
it.

I'm making good progress, but Mallory is
flying through this.

I need to pick up the pace if I want any
chance of beating her.

I see that Yash is pretty close to me,
so if I attach the wrong time tube to the

wrong amplifier ring, he
could easily overtake me

and win the veto, and I
can't have that happen.

This is do or die for me.

It's feeling like a nightmare
because I'm looking

to my left, and Yash
is freaking crushing it.

I'm just hearing pipes flying everywhere
to my right.

I don't even know where Mallory's at,
because she's just boom, boom, boom, boom.

One of the two people that I didn't want
to win is probably going to win.

This is the worst-case scenario.

This veto competition is down to the
nitty-gritty.

I mean, my palms are sweating watching
Yash and Mallory go back and forth.

We don't know who's going to take it,
and I'm nervous because if one of them

wins, they're obviously going to take
themselves down.

That means another nominee has to go up,
and, baby, I do not want it to be me.

You got it, girl.

She's got it figured out.

Oh, my God.

I wasn't wrong, and I wasn't expecting
that at all.

She'll see it.

She'll see it.

She'll see it.

Everybody keep going.

Keep going, y'all.

I can't waste any more time.

She's one mistake away from me sneaking up
and overtaking her.

I see in the middle that
there's a piece that came apart,

so I'm hoping that I can
just put them back together.

Yes!

Yes!

Congratulations, Mallory.

You are the Golden Power of Veto.

Let's go, baby!

Woo!

I can't believe it!

This is so awesome.

I just won the first Golden Power of Veto
of the summer!

I'm an aerospace engineer, and I just
engineered myself right off the block.

Now flip that switch and bring Will back
from the future!

What's happening?

I can't go back.

Please, not the past.

It's so unattractive.

Don't send me back.

I'm too handsome!

Guys, you have saved the future.

I owe you a debt of gratitude.

Yeah!

Travel safe back to 2026.

Woo!

Thank you!

Let's go, Mal!

I'm at, like, a crossroads right now with
Mallory winning the veto.

I'm very happy for her.

On the other hand, this means that there's
gonna be a replacement nominee.

Hopefully it's not me.

I gotta work on my pipes.

I would have loved to win this veto and
keep Dee's nominations the same,

but it's probably better that I didn't win
it because Mallory would have expected me

to use the veto on her, and I wouldn't
have, and that would have been very awkward.

I am gutted.

I'm sweaty, I'm disappointed,
and I know there's

one less chance at me
being safe this week.

Not a good feeling.

I'm devastated I didn't win this,
but I can still try to negotiate and talk

game with everyone to make sure that I am
not going nowhere!

I'm happy.

I'm kinda happy.

I was in a state of confusion the moment
they put the buzzer on.

I feel like an airhead right now,
and as happy as I am for Mallory,

it's not what I wanted, and now I need to
name a replacement nominee.

I could go with Melody, who swears she's
not aligned with Mallory, or I could go

with Ashley, who I've already considered
nominating earlier this week.

I did not want to be in this position,
but now I gotta figure it out.

I feel like I went through a stage,
like the seven stages of grief.

Look at me, I'm like, oh...

Where were the olives even?

Let's see, I'll have a cr*cker too.

Oh, this is so hype.

Good job.

Oh, let's go.

Is that not the best feeling?

Yeah.

Oh my god, this is crazy.

It feels so good to win.

I was already mentally packing my bags,
already planning my conversation with Julie.

I was really nervous, but
now I know, push comes

to shove, I can pull myself
together and I can win.

This is really good for my confidence.

Like literally, like, yes!

This is so good.

You should have yelled that.

Do you think that D might put you up?

Yes.

I've been having such anxiety over it.

I mean, I felt like I was good with her.

I just don't know.

Now that Mallory won the veto,
I am extremely worried.

Barrett and I were the only two not to
play in the HOH competition, so I am so

scared that one of us, especially me,
could go up in Mallory's place.

I'm like, great, everybody
can see it on my face

that it looks like I'm
gonna projectile vomit barf.

I feel like D really likes you and
Barrett.

But I also feel like D... Me, I hope,
at least, that I feel like we vibe.

We all feel cool with her is the problem.

Yeah.

And you know who else felt cool with her?

Yash.

What do you not want to see happen?

Obviously, like, I think we have the same
exact thing.

I don't want to see myself go up.

I don't know.

What if she shakes it up?

These girls have a brick in their pants
about going up on the block.

I'm sitting here just nodding
along, but they don't realize

that I'm working with D
and our red corner alliance.

Sorry, girls, one of yous is going on the
block, but I sure as hell won't be.

Big Brother.

I feel like Big Brother is very much like
high school, like all the hot jocks.

Like, I'm very insecure about my body.

I realize, like, I'm 35.

Like, I have to be an example for these
kids.

Like, stop being insecure.

Because people on, like, Instagram are
mean.

I have b*tches telling me that I'm this
fat blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And I'm like, who do you think you are?

People suck.

I'm in awe of how you're so vulnerable
that you're opening yourself, first of

all, for opening yourself up for coming
here and not being in your bubble with all

these different personalities and people
that you do not know how they feel.

Yeah.

Or, like, how they feel about you.

I was really going
through it that first day

in the house and
Angela was there for me.

Me coming into here, I
got really scared because I'm

like, I'm never around
this many straight people.

Sorry.

Come here.

Because I'm just so in my bubble.

I'm here for you.

Thank you so much.

My mom recently passed
away, so I said if there's a mom

in the house, that's my mom
and I need to protect her.

No.

Damn.

Thank you.

Oh my gosh.

Don't you do this to me.

I'm so thankful.

Thank you.

They brought you here for me.

Yeah.

It's meant to be.

Anytime you need a hug too, like,
just, I'm here for you.

I'm here for you.

I'm here.

Oh my god, I love it.

Oh my god.

Oh, thank you.

Sorry.

Don't ever hold back.

You let it out.

Thank you.

Let me know.

Feels good.

Okay.

Being emotional around Angela gives her
purpose to come and be mama of the house.

But if I can up the ante and,
you know, put on the waterworks

a little bit more so she feels
emotionally attached to me...

I'ma use it.

Oh my mother.

Please.

You guys, this is so fun.

Being a new brother?

Yeah.

Am I wrong for thinking, like,
we're all good?

Oh, 1000%.

I get along great with Melody and Drew.

They're little clowns around the house.

And they're low-key superfans.

No one would expect that us three have
anything going on.

So let's make something happen.

I just came up with a brilliant idea.

What?

Low-key, can we be, like, the court
jesters?

We'll just hold court as the jesters.

Like, just to, like,
catch them, like, hey,

you know, this is what's
going on over here.

Yeah.

If we can work to a
jury, like, I would love

if, like, the jesters
unleashed to the wild.

Yeah.

I'm feeling pretty good about the court
jesters.

I feel like I really trust Drew.

And for now, I feel like I can trust
Jason.

We're all in with
different people, so it can

kind of guarantee
information and numbers.

Expect the unexpected.

Who would you be happy with losing?

Honestly, like, people who are brought
back into this game who are fan-favorites.

The sooner we get them out, the sooner the
game becomes ours.

Even think about that.

Big Daddy is everyone's favorite dad right
now.

He's America's dad.

Great.

Listen, I'm tired of these reality TV
icons in this house.

Angela, Devin, and D, they've all played
games of strategy before.

And that's dangerous.

So I need to rally Melody and Drew to be
on my side to get them out next week.

And let the real television reality icon
shine.

I think what it is, Devin and Angela are
my mom and dad.

And low-key, I'll fall in for it because
they're cool.

I want to take that shot.

I want to backdoor Devin.

It's like, that's my dream.

Can I tell you what I did earlier today?

I was with Angela in my bed.

I started crying.

Angela, you know I lost my mom and I just
love that you're my mom here.

And she's like, they put you in the house
with me for a reason.

And I was like, I know.

Jason is spilling the beans on everything
that he plans to do in this game to me.

And he has zero idea that I'm actually
aligned with Devin and Angela.

So, I'm gonna use this information and help
the Crossover Alliance as much as I can.

Right now, I may be a court jester, but
my heart lies with the Crossover Alliance.

So we might be getting the last laugh on
Jason.

Okay, so we are the court jesters.

I think we're the court jesters,
but you're like our king court.

I'm not your king, I'm not your superior,
but I do feel like you're older brother.

I do like that vibe.

It's kinda hot.

You can't tell anybody this, but Jason was
telling me yesterday.

What?

Tell me now, right now, hurry.

It's God's name or Devin's.

Jason?

Yeah.

Why?

Because everyone loves him.

He's like America's dad.

Are you kidding me?

Damn!

If this is true, Jason, you're going after
one of the icons this early?

Baby, Jason is so lucky that
he's safe this week because

he'd be looking like a real
good replacement nominee.

I was outside yesterday with Jason and
Melody and they were like, we're gonna

look out for each other.

And he said if he won HOH, he would want a
back door.

And he's doing the same with Angela.

That's good to know.

It's interesting, of all the big,
you know, athletic guys in this house,

that Jason would come for me, of all
people.

But I'm also happy to hear
it because I think Drew's

definitely proving that
he's a worthy ally to have.

Hey, Angela.

Come join the party.

I mean, it's great that people are
approaching him with this information.

Thank you, Drew.

I was gonna tell you, this also involves
you.

No way.

He was like, I was going
out with Angela and

I started to cry and
to talk about my mom.

That's legible.

It's disgusting.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

That's so bad.

My heart is broken.

He thinks I'm a sucker and I'm not.

Jason!

The fact that he's being misogynistic with
you is great.

I just wanted to give you guys that info.

I love you so much for it.

Angela BB26 would have probably blown up
my own lines with Drew and I probably

would have gone and confronted Jason like
nobody's business.

I'd have been all over this house
parading.

BB28 Angela, on the other hand,
is gonna love him hard.

I'm gonna make him think he does have me
wrapped around his finger.

Guess what?

He's gonna be laughed at
because everybody knows

that I'm playing him
right back but harder.

His friend freaking tastic.

Right.

That is ridiculous to play on my heart
strings like that and say he's playing me.

Yeah.

Oh, she's still got those heels!

Hey!

Wait, I love Lala.

Auntie Lala.

I love you too, baby.

I'ma tell you, my body
has been through a lot

but baby, I've come
through with flying colors.

What, what.

Listen, I had broke um, what is this,
patella tendon?

I see the scars.





Oh my god!

Yes.





I might look fit as
fiddle, but honey, I have

gone through so many
trials and tribulations.

I'm like RoboCop.

Whatever you throw at me, I come back
stronger.

Faster.

Bigger.

Better.

Lala, how?

I was walking down the stairs to the Q train
in New York City and my heel got caught.

My body kept moving and my heels, my knee
said, what it did is it broke my kneecap.

So my kneecap, when it
broke, the patella tendon

separated so my whole
thigh muscle went up.

Just feel that.

A year, a month, and a day later,
I'm walking down the street, minding my

business and I'm going to the train I
don't have on heels.

You in this damn train.

Caught the front of my foot.

As I went down, I saw my knee go and I hit
the pavement and I said, Lord,

why you got me on this dirty nasty street?

Oh my freaking gosh, Lala, out of everyone
in the house, it's someone who inspires me

because she's showing that
not only can you have fun,

but you can make it look
freaking all good at any age.

I saw that you do like physical therapy
rehab.

Physical therapy.

She has to be the funnest PT patient to
have.

Of all time.

I said, you can break your arm,
and they said we're going to amputate it.

She's like, don't worry, baby.

As soon as I walk in, I say,
hey, everybody else that's

here, y'all know Lala's here,
and I'm going to be loud.

Don't be afraid, but then he started
bending my leg like...

You don't understand the pain.

No, you really do not understand the pain.

Like, it was so painful.

It was worse than childbirth.

So, that's what happened.

But it feels better though.

Okay.

Alright.

Oh my gosh, I finally, I've been wanting
to have a one-on-one with you.

I know.

I'm approaching Dee,
but I don't want to do it

in a way where I'm like
stepping on her toes.

I think that Dee seems like a completely
real person.

I mean, I don't feel like I'm in an HR
conference when I speak to her.

I want to be on her good side,
in her good graces, and just see where

she's at with me and how she feels.

How are you feeling this week?

Are you stressed because I have bags?

Well, yes, it is very scary.

So, your logic was going with each group
from the competitions and how you chose

one from each, then the only logical last
thing would be me and Barrett.

Yes.

And so I hate that.

It really scares me.

I haven't had the chance to compete and
I'm like, oh my gosh.

In my mind, I'm like, I'm playing and I'm
like, oh, I don't want to put down Barrett

at all, but I'm like,
hoping that if that is the

route you do go, that
maybe you could consider him.

And... I did consider him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, like, are you really considering for
sure me?

You are, uh, yeah.

But everyone likes you.

I feel like I just got diagnosed with a
disease and I'm coping.

What disease?

Humiliation ritualitis.

Like, it's just crazy, girl.

On the one hand, I don't think Ashley has
found a strong, solid group in the house

right now, so maybe she's not that much of
a threat.

And on the other hand, if I'm going by my
logic of nominating one person from each

of the HOH comp teams, that leaves Barrett
and Ashley who didn't compete.

And obviously, I'm not putting up Barrett
because he's in my crossover alliance.

So, it might need to be Ashley,
but I'm not sure yet.

It's like, I feel like, whoa, am I being
targeted?

Like, is there something that worries you
about me?

No, no, no.

It's... I'm trying to pick one
person from each group.

Like, it's not a personal thing.

Exactly, yes.

It's just the logic behind it.

Of course, I totally get it.

That is hard.

Yeah.

It's tough.

May I come in for like two seconds?

I know you're overwhelmed.

I just wanted to take like two seconds
to be like, hey, I'm good with you, right?

Like, we're good.

I didn't think anything.

I'm checking in with D because I want to
make sure I'm safe.

Mallory's gonna come
off the block and I

just want to make sure
that D and I are good.

Cool.

I just wanted to make sure I talked with
you to like...

I wouldn't have thought of anything if you
didn't come either.

Yeah, okay, cool.

Good to know, but I
also didn't, I was like, I

didn't want you to think
I was like avoiding you.

But like, go, get your face mask,
listen to your music.

Relax.

I'm telling Mallory
that we're good, but at

the same time, that
girl's extremely smart.

She is actively correcting her game moves
and trying to distance herself from

Mallory, and that tells me that she is a
gamer.

And Ashley's not really doing that.

Mallory seems to be more of a threat in
this game.

Okay.

It's a tough decision either way I go,
because I am not going to be safe next week.

Ugh.

Hey everyone, it's time for the veto
meeting.

This is the veto meeting.

Yash, Taylor, and I have been nominated
for eviction.

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

I've decided to use the power of veto on
myself.

Dee, since I've just vetoed one of your
nominations for eviction, you will have to

name a new house guest as a replacement
nominee.

I know it's been crazy few days,
but I want to stay true to my word based

on my logic of picking one person per HOH
competition, which leaves me with very

limited option, and that would be you,
Barrett, or you, Ashley.

And I'm really sorry, this is not personal
at all.

It's just dwindled down.

But Ashley, I'm picking you as a
replacement nominee.

I'm sorry.

This veto meeting is adjourned.

Nominating Ashley keeps the heat off me.

Even though this wasn't the biggest move,
it was the smartest move for my game.

I really don't need to make big waves,
so I'm trying to make the little waves

because next week, I'm not competing in
HOH.

There's been a lot of attention on me
right now, and I'm trying to just fall

back, relax, and let somebody else be in
the spotlight.

Being nominated makes me feel oh-so-very
nerdy.

I mean, I... Wait, nervous?

Being nominated makes me oh-so-very
nervous.

However, this is gonna light the fire
under my butt that's gonna get me ready to

start campaigning and socially solidifying
the numbers that I need to stay.

I'm gonna try and come in hot,
subtly.

I may be good with D, but I'm still gonna
do what I have to do to secure my safety

in this house.

Miss Julie, you will not be meeting me
this week.

Listen, I got real close to winning that
veto competition, so now I think it's time

for me to clutch up on the BB Blockbuster
on Thursday and get my first comp dub.

You can wake me up at 2
a.m., 3 a.m., 4 a.m., you name

it, I am ready to save myself
and show them who's a boss.

I am ready for that.

I need it.

Who will win the BB Blockbuster and be
saved from the block?

And who will ultimately be the first
evicted from the house?

Ashley, Taylor, or Yash?

Find out live tomorrow night at 8,
