23x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

-Announcer: previously on "big brother"...

With frenchie totally frenched...

-I have decided not to use the power of veto.

I decided not to use the veto

This week because the house target was frenchie,

And I wanted to make sure that he left.

-Announcer: his eight-person

Slaughterhouse alliance was dissolving.

-The slaughterhouse really doesn't exist any more.

-Announcer: and a new alliance between

The kings and the queens was born.

-Two good teams that are happy and healthy and trustworthy

Combining together

Could potentially be much more successful.

-Announcer: with one of the aces

As their secret weapon.

-So the kings and queens plus an ace up our sleeve

And derek x., It's feeling like a royal flush

Coming in to the next two weeks,

So we should be pretty safe.

-Announcer: it appeared brent and whitney

Were going to be the next targets.

-The two people who'd be a really obvious two to put up.

-I think I know what you're talking about.

Whitney and brent? -Announcer: but first,

The house had to say "au revoir" to frenchie.

-Julie chen: by a vote of -,

Frenchie, you are evicted from the "big brother" house.

-We love you! -Bye!

-Bye, frenchie!

-Announcer: with the head of household

On the line,

Two aces threw it, making way

For a king to be crowned.

-Chen: congratulations, xavier.

You are the new head of household.

-Announcer: tonight with xavier working

With both the cookout

And kings and queen alliance,

Who will he nominate for eviction?

Plus, will the wildcard comp throw a wrench in his plans?

Find out right now on "big brother."

-Checkmate.

♪

-Thank you! -Bye, julie!

-Yay!

-[Cheering]

-I feel great.

Like, I feel good. I'm safe.

This was an h.o.h. That I really wanted.

Hopefully I don't have an h.o.h. Reign like frenchie.

Man, that was rough.

I'm hoping the right person wins the wildcard competition

Because that competition scares the living hell out of me.

It can truly make or break someone's h.o.h. Week.

-We're here another week.

We're here another week. We got work to do.

Because x is h.o.h. We got work to do, y'all.

Uh-huh. I am safe. Uh-huh. I am safe.

Oh, my gosh. I just feels so relieved.

Those are the longest seven days of my life.

I feel okay with x being the h.o.h., To be honest.

I don't think x would nominate me again

After just being on the block.

I think that would be a really poor

Game decision, so I think I should be fine.

-I've got to go tinkle.

-You earned it.

You tinkle with your chin held high.

I feel great with my relationship with xavier.

It's been strongs since day one,

And just because frenchie tried to blow up slaughterhouse,

Doesn't mean slaughterhouse can't still thrive

With just the seven,

So I'm sitting pretty.

I'm going to go wallow.

-Okay.

-You're good. -[Sigh]

-If you try to pull this [beep] on me, I'm going to be mad.

-What you mean?

What you mean? -You swore to our brotherhood.

-And my first nomination is derek f. Ooh.

-You better stop playing.

Because you're going to have me paranoid.

I'm very sad that frenchie has left the game.

I gave this man my word.

I'm not going to vote against my best friend,

So I voted for britini to go.

Now that he's gone, I'm going to have to regroup

And restrategize my game.

But I'm currently working

With the cookout,

Which is xavier, ky, azah,

And tiffany and myself.

So xavier being the h.o.h. Is great for my game.

-We work, we safe. -You have to come in.

-Come on, christian.

Get up here. Get in sync. -Like this.

-We safe, we safe, we got it.

-I am so excited

That x just won h.o.h.

I am on the king's team which is me, christian,

Xavier and sarah beth.

It feels so good that our whole team is safe.

We haven't had a week

Where we felt safe at all since day one.

We have to have a slumber party.

-Oh, we're having a slumber party for sure.

-We're going to be chilling.

♪

-Yup. It's perfect.

-Not only am I safe because I'm a member

Of the kings with xavier,

But recently both the kings and the queens

Came together to hold court.

-Yeah, so double checking. How do you feel about the week?

-Good. -I mean, very nicely--

-Very nicely and we obviously appreciate

None of us going on the block.

For me, personally, if I win h.o.h., None of you guys

Are to either, so...

-I feel like this could be

A great opportunity for us

To be more transparent with each other.

-Um, personally, I think it would be

In the benefit of my entire team to work with your entire team.

-The people in this room plus one person not in this room.

-It all sounds really good to me.

I trust you guys the most.

You are the people I'm interested in working with.

-How did we not solidify this before?

-We have to brainstorm some names.

-The royal family.

-A royal flush has ace, kings and queens, like...

-The royal flush. I like that. -Ooh.

-Okay. -I like it, too.

Yes!

-The royal flush includes the kings...

...the queens and our ace up the sleeve, derek x.

This alliance is perfect for my game because

I like and trust everyone that is working within it.

♪

Thank god.

My only fear this week...

Who goes up?

I really hope I have nothing to worry about this week.

-I'm really, honestly,

Hoping things go a little bit better for team joker this week.

I do feel safe with xavier,

But I'm extremely worried for britini being that

Britini's not part of the cookout.

I am hoping against hope that

My entire team is safe.

Xavier keeps his cards so close to his chest

I'm not even certain he can see them himself.

So, we'll see what happens this week.

-I feel like we're fine.

-Mm-hmm.

♪

-So alyssa goes, "will be my best friend?"

I was like, "absolutely not."

She was like, "why?"

I was like, "I just don't believe you could be friends

With people you find attractive."

I don't think men can-- -what do you mean?

-So hear me out, women definitely can.

-Yeah. -Men...

We will always take an opportunity to make

A pass at someone we find attractive.

It's the truth. It just is what it is.

-Everything that comes out of brent's mouth

I'm like [gags].

It makes me sick.

He's just so egotistical and annoying.

I've learned that everyone in the house is sick of brent.

It's not just me. Thank god.

-I want you to know

That I'm working with you because I really trust you.

-Uh-huh. -And not because

I want to date you. -Okay.

-The conversation you were having with christian--

I can read your lips. -What conversation?

-You were saying, "not to be c*ck, but I feel like

People that want to work with me want to date me.

-No, I didn't. You definitely misread.

-You can't read lips that well. -Well, you had your face turned.

-I'm really trying to put aside game and personal,

But brent's making it really hard for me because

He thinks is he's, like, this god that I just want so bad.

I don't know why he's thinking that at all.

That would be so disgustingly c*ck but okay.

-I'm a lot.

It takes a really confident and, like,

Outgoing, easygoing person.

You'd never be able to walk all over me.

I'm just too much. Look how irritated you already are.

-I'm not irritated.

I know you're on my team,

But you're just so in love with yourself,

You can't see past your own ego.

We're all honestly very sick of him.

Ugh.

-I only aspire to be

What my hair has been,

And that's laid.

-Brent has rubbed some people the wrong way.

He says some things where I'm kind of like--

At this point in time,

Everybody in the house wants brent gone.

-So you've never had a female

Platonic friendship?

-No, I never had a friend that was like,

"Let's go hang out."

That was a woman that I did not find

Sexually attractive.

-Even though he thinks he's all that

And a bag of chips,

He's barely a cr*cker so...

Get it together.

-But there's a lot of-- lot of documents

And books written on the subject. It's pretty wild.

♪

-How are you doing? -Fine.

-How are you doing?

-I mean, I'm-- I'm happy.

-Are you comfortable with putting him up?

I would love to see xavier

Go after brent and whitney.

Preferably brent.

He integrates himself into every single situation,

And brent is a very strong player in this house.

-I'm ready to do what I've got to do.

-Okay. -That's just how it goes.

-We came here to play a game,

And that's a part of playing the game.

-I am aligned with almost too many damn people.

The cookout and the royal flush.

Basically my options are

Brent, whitney and britini.

Very slim pickings, and the wildcard might make it

Even more difficult, so we'll see how it goes.

-What are your options?

Unless you do britini but damn.

-I don't want to. I really don't think I have other options.

-Or you can do her.

-I'm ready to do what I have to do.

I have a great relationships with britini and whitney,

But unfortunately they're not in any of my alliances,

So those are the only options have I to pick from.

-Listen.

You got two of these and one of these.

Do more of this and less of this.

-Uh-huh. I agree.

-I do not want to control xavier's thoughts.

However, I do believe he understands

The task at hand:

To get brent out of this house.

I'm really happy for xavier.

He is also in two...

Of my alliances.

So, that means...

I'm fricking safe. I'm fricking safe.

-Why are you moving your clothes?

-Because frenchie finally moved his clothes out of my closet.

-You have a new closet. Cool. -I do.

I do. I'm so excited.

She is next.

She's...

A sweet girl.

I like her on a personal level,

But on a game level,

I think she would cut my throat.

♪

-I might have some tea for y'all.

-Oh, yes. We love some good tea.

-I want derek x. And hannah together.

-Me, too.

I would say there's a lot of cute couples

Happening in this house,

And I really would like for them

To come front, so I'm going to keep pushing for it.

See, what I'd like to do is get hannah with x.

-I do have a crush on derek x.

-Ooh. -I must admit.

I definitely have a little crush

On derek x.

He and I have the same sense of humor.

Good night. -That's a cute night outfit.

-Thank you. -Good night.

-We're also close in age,

So I feel comfortable talking to him.

But, yeah, he's adorable.

And he knows how to dress.

Derek, are you going to ask me to prom?

-We can do it sadie hawkins style.

-What's that? -The girl asks the guy.

-In that case, derek, will you go to prom with me?

-I'm good.

I'm not sure where hannah's head's at,

But it does feel like she tries to flirt with me,

And I think she's cute,

And she has a great sense of humor.

-And will you be my husband?

So you can cook an clean for me.

-Yeah, I'm definitely good. -Forever.

-I feel like all the guys like alyssa.

I think brent likes alyssa.

I think x likes alyssa.

I think christian might like her, too.

-Oh, for sure. For sure.

-What's a bad habit you have?

-Like, popping your zits in the mirror. That's gross.

-That's not gross.

But if you leave it there it's gross.

-Eww.

-Coming into this house,

I told myself, "do not get into a showmance."

And then I see alyssa.

Week one, we're caught making slaps together as have-nots.

That puts a target on our back.

Things seem to settle down, which is good.

But rumors are going to start again

Because we're being seen cuddling together a lot.

All right, what's your bad habit?

-I'm really bad at making my bed.

-That's what yours is?

Are we just, like, trying to be -i'm really bad at--

-Unattractive to each other? -Yeah, we should try that.

As of right now, me and christian

Are just friends that find each other attractive.

We're telling people we're brother and sister vibes,

But I don't think you cuddle with your brother,

So I don't know what we're doing.

I don't know.

-He's just so not self-aware.

Oh, my god.

-He really is arrogant.

-He has one of the largest egos I've ever seen.

-He thinks everything revolves around him.

-He's crazy.

-I don'’t want to say too many bad things

Because I think he has good intentions.

-I personally don't feel like I'm complaining about him.

I feel like I'm justified. -Yeah, you are.

-In my frustration.

The target's on brent, which is

Perfectly fine by me. Exactly what I wanted.

We didn't want to win the h.o.h. Competition because

Then derek x. And I would've been safe,

Which means that brent couldn't be targeted.

So, we threw the competition.

-Chen: the correct answer is false.

The guy said "naked."

-Good job throwing the comp, though.

You really showd your stuff.

-You and I played the exact same way,

So you complementing me is you complimenting yourself.

-I know it is. -Okay. Perfect.

-Yeah. I'm just validating myself.

-Okay. Good job to you, too.

Are you...

Going to try to get whitney to play the wildcard?

-No.

-Why? -Because.

What if it's, like, the first week

And if I win, my whole team gets safety.

-Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay.

-So, here's the thing about the wildcard competition.

There's going to be a big decision that the winner

Has to make. In the past, that decision has been

About keeping members of the winning team safe,

And I'm on the same team as brent,

So I need to play and throw this competition

So there's no way that brent can win safety.

-Just everything he says gets on my damn nerves.

-It's starting to. It really is.

I'm struggling not to show it.

No one from our team will be competing.

Hannah, kyland and brent,

Since you have already competed in the wildcard,

Are you also not eligible.

The winner of the wildcard comp

Not only has the opportunity to win safety for the week

But remember: it comes with a unique

Wildcard decision that will impact the game.

Aces, queens and jokers,

You will have minutes to decide who you will be sending.

At this point in time, teams, you can get together

And decide who you're sending for the wildcard competition.

-[Cheering]

-Okay. So, I playing, right?

-True. -I feel...

Really safe this week with xavier being h.o.h.

However, I still want to play in this wildcard comp

To ensure that the safety

Doesn't fall into the wrong person's hands.

Time for me to make my move.

-Have you guys come to a decision or not really?

-We have. -Oh, you have?

-Britini's going to do it. -Okay.

-She was on the block last week. -Yeah.

-We want to give her the opportunity

To ensure, like, there's no crazy [beep] happening.

-Agreed. -To her.

-Agreed. -So she's going to go for it.

-Cool. -I'm going to compete.

-Good. -It's very important that

I go out and play for my team today.

I have been on the block for the past seven days.

Therefore, I want every opportunity possible in the book

To secure safety for myself this week

And not even touch the block.

This is my shot for competition redemption.

I'm ready to win this comp.

-Compete, go for it. -Yeah.

-Let's see what you can do.

-Umm, so...

-Do you want to play?

-Okay. -Are you cool with that?

-I'm okay with that. -Okay.

-Either way. Whatever you're comfortable with.

-No one-- no one--

I'm lying straight to brent's face right now,

And it's k*lling me.

But he made himself

A house target,

And I can't go against

The royal flush alliance.

I have to do what's best for me.

Who you will be sending to compete.

Aces, who are you sending?

-I will be competing this week. -All right.

-Queens, who are you sending?

-Okay.

-Okay.

-Absolutely. Absolutely.

-This is going to be

A really tricky comp to navegate because

I don't want to win and accidentally keep

My teammate brent safe for the week.

But I also don't want britini to win

Because then she can take herself off as a possible

Nomination this week.

So the only possible solution

Is for tiffany to take the win in this competition.

-You got it. One for the team.

-All of a sudden, we're chilling on the beach,

I see the palm trees, I see the sand,

And then wait a second, it gets a little weird

And I'm quickly realizing that this wildcard competition

Is anything but chill.

-Cowabunga, houseguests.

Welcome to back stab beach

Where the people are hot

And the games are ice cold. -[Laughs]

-Today you'll be playing

The sickest new game at the bb beach club:

Unlucky .

The goal of the game is to eliminate your opponents

By placing four cards

That total exactly on their card holder.

Here's how it works.

On "go" grab a card from the top of your deck

And make your way across your wobbly balance beam.

Then place the card on any of the empty card holders

Or replace one of the cards already there.

You can place a card on any station, including your own.

Every time you place a card,

You can either raise or lower a player's score.

Once a player has four cards in their holder that add up to ,

They are eliminated

From the game. -Wow.

-The last player standing wins the competition.

Are you ready to play unlucky ?

-Yeah, buddy. -Yes, sir.

-Tippy toes better come in handy today.

-After sitting on the block for a straight seven days I will

Literally do whatever I can

To make sure that I'm safe for the week.

I do want to be back on the block again.

-My plan going into

This wildcard competition is super complicated.

First, and most importantly,

I need to make sure that I do not win

Because the wildcard decision could make the house target,

Brent, safe this week.

Second, I need to make sure that

Britini doesn't win either because we need

To keep her as a possible option as a pawn

To go up against brent.

I'm just praying I can pull this one off.

-[Horn blowsó_

-Oh, my god. He's out of here.

-In order to win this competition, you have to grab

A card from your deck, walk across the balance beam,

And place it into a card holder on the other side.

So that I can move again.

Looks like my dance, martial arts,

And gymnastics training is coming in handy.

You have won this week's wildcard competition.

-[Cheering]

-Here is your wildcard decision.

You can be safe for the week,

But a game of chance will also make one player from the jokers

And one player from the aces safe as well.

That means one player from the jokers, the aces,

And the queens would all be safe this week.

Or turn down safety,

Which means you'll remain eligible to be nominated

And evicted this week.

You have a few moments to make your decision.

So, tiffany gets hit with a...

Juggernaut of a wildcard decision.

If tiffany chooses to accept the wildcard offer,

Then the game of chance will determine

One member of the aces and one member of the jokers

To be safe this week.

So, that now limits

My options for nominees

Even more and potentially takes off

Brent and britini from being eligible for nomination.

Not only with the wildcard comp

But also with the h.o.h. Comp.

-Umm.

Okay.

-Although I love everybody from both teams...

...i am going to

Decline the safety.

-That's your decision.

Thank you.

-Tiffany declining safety this week was

The perfect scenario because it ensured

That brent, the royal flush's target,

Remained eligible to be put up on the block.

It's all about staying undercover right now.

Honestly, we don't want to look suspicious

In front of the rest of the house.

-Tiffany, you have declined the wildcard decision,

Which means you remain eligible to be nominated

And could be evicted later this week.

-No. Okay.

Of course I'm not going to risk

Giving a joker or an ace safety this week.

The goal this week is to get out brent.

And I am not leaving that up to a game of chance.

I don't even gamble.

I'm definitely not gambling with brent.

-Tiffany not using it, best case scenario.

Uh, I'm safe,

In an alliance with xavier.

I'm sitting pretty. Cool, calm and collected.

All have I to worry about at this point

Is what I'm going to be eating for dinner.

I mean, it could be worse.

-You okay? -Uh-huh.

-You need a hug? -Just need a hug.

I couldn't have moved any damn faster.

-I couldn't have moved-- -they were definitely gunning for you.

It's honestly baffling.

And I don't have as good of a read

On the house as I thought I did.

♪

-What up, tippy toes?

Now that tiffany declined the wildcard,

Brent is still available as a nominee.

So now I just have to figure out

Who is the unfortunate soul that has to sit next to him.

I'll give you kind of a general overview of how

I see this week playing out, or how I would like it to play out.

-Okay. -If I put him up...

...it would be kind of under the impression

That he's working with me.

The people it'll probably piss off

Will likely be the jokers.

Unfortunately. -Britini.

-Here's my thing:

If he were sitting next to her...

...everyone knows she's not going anywhere,

But he's probably going to feel a little more calm.

He's not going to feel like he has to campaign.

If he's sitting next to whitney--

-He's going to be confused about-- -he's going

To be confused why someone from my team is also up. -Right.

-I understand. It's strategic. -You see what I'm saying?

Exactly. -I'm with you %.

♪

-I don't feel upset that tiffany won.

-I don't feel upset that tiffany won at all.

I don't get why she

Was going after britini before going after derek.

-I feel like I don't have to babysit you.

I can just say it, and you'll understand.

Um, I have an idea.

I don't want her to go back up at all.

But-- -britini?

Oh, my god.

-Doing that, it'd seem like

She's the biggest target.

-Come on, man.

Honestly, I'm disappointed.

I don't think at this point in the game

We need to have a big huge grand scheme of a plan.

Brent is smart. He'll see right through it.

Using britini as a pawn

Isn't the best solution, in my opinion.

Britini's going to break if she's a pawn again.

Why can't you just put up brent and whitney?

-If I put both of them up,

He's going to freak out.

I can't. That would be damaging my game.

-I just don't get why people can't just hit the target.

Bam, bam. Put him up.

Put his-- right up next to him.

Put up brent, put up whitney.

Boom.

Keeping it all in one team.

-I can't. There's not much else that can I do.

-Put me up.

-No. -I don't want britini to go up again.

I don't want britini to go up again.

If you're going to put somebody up, then put me up.

I don't like the fact that her being

Toyed around like some pawn. I don't like it.

So if you're going to put somebody up, put me up.

That's just how I feel.

I don't have anything

To say. -Could you please sit down?

-What do you want me to say? -We all had this conversation.

Not one of us is putting another one of us up.

I would be distraught if you went up.

-I don't want britini to go up again.

If you feel that way, put me up. If I go home,

I go home. I played my best.

I can I go back to my life,

But I don't want britini to go up again.

-Azah, we have the cookout.

I'm saying yo, you my people.

There's no way I'm going to risk you going up on the block,

And you're salty with me?

What?

If people just didn't get emotional

This week would be so easy peasy.

-I cannot deal with her crying like that again.

I can't have it in my heart to do that.

So if you're going to put somebody up, put me up.

That's all have I to say.

♪

-Yo, what's up? -What's up?

-How do you--

How do you feel about competing?

-If you picked me? -Mm-hmm.

-For, like, the-- um, the houseguest choice?

-Yeah. The houseguest choice nominee.

-I can't be a nominee. I can't.

-Brent is my target this week.

And I'm trying to get him comfortable

With the idea of using him as a pawn this week.

-The thing is, if you put me up, I'm not a pawn.

I'm a threat.

Like, to-- like, to everyone in the house.

They're just going to take me out.

-My understanding is that everyone in the house

Is after britini.

-Dude.

I'm telling you, man.

I can't go up.

I'm too much of a threat. I can't--

I'm technically, physically, not pawn material.

I go, then everything crumbles.

-The key is to keep brent

Calm throughout the week.

And by placing him under the narrative that

He is a pawn, it puts just enough doubt

In his brain or maybe a little bit of paranoid to where

If he blows up, then he blows up his own game.

-Yeah. And my team would feel that way as well.

Because they know I'm not a pawn. It's just--

If I put myself in your shoes, -mm-hmm.

-I can never put you up as a pawn because,

Physically, you're a threat,

And people don't like physical threats.

Get what I'm saying? -Mm-hmm.

I don't want to say I don't want to be a pawn.

I'm a simply not a pawn.

I'm too big of a threat. Nothing about me physically,

Mentally or emotionally screams "pawn."

I'm an easy target to get out.

I'm an easy person to vote against.

It's just idiotic,

Not entertaining it, end of discussion.

I'm legit telling you right now, wholeheartedly,

I'll go home.

-Do you feel like you can trust me?

-I do but, if you put me up, I don't think

Our relationship would be the same going forward.

-Yeah.

Brent, the actual target,

Feels like he is too good to be a pawn.

And then my fellow cookout member

Offers herself up as a pawn.

That's what makes this game so darn stressful.

But it's fun, right?

Right? It's fun.

-I think it's going to do a lot more damage than good.

♪

-Hey, guys. Time for the nomination ceremony.

♪

-This is the nomination ceremony.

It is my responsibility as the head of household

To nominate two houseguests for eviction.

In my nomination block are the keys

Of the houseguest that I'm nominating for eviction.

I will turn two keys to lock in my nominations,

And their faces will appear on the memory wall.

The first houseguest I have nominated is...

The next houseguest have I nominateed is...

♪

I have nominated you, brent,

And you, britini.

Brent, I think you are trustworthy,

And I think you're a hell of a competitor.

Placing you up just ensures that

The target that I intend to go home this week

Will run smoothly.

Britini, I feel that...

Given the chance to place me up

For nomination...

You would do so.

It's nothing against you personally.

At that point, that's all I have to say.

This nomination ceremony is adjourned.

All my alliances want brent out,

So, unfortunately, he's got to go.

Britini is simply a pawn this week.

I would prefer that nominations stay the same.

Um, I'd rather not get any more blood on my hands

And hopefully either myself or the right person wins the veto,

And this week can continue to run smoothly.

-I'm absolutely, postively pissed.

And I'm going to use this fire

To kick some a*s at the veto

And win this thing,

So there's not even a question of whether or not

I'm sitting on the block any more. I'm done.

-Xavier made a catastrophic mistake putting me on the block.

I mean, talk about stupid.

I haven't even proven I'm a threat,

But now have I every reason to prove I'm a threat

Because I'm going to win that veto, I'm going to absolutely

Clean the floor with you next week so, uh, game on.

-Seeing britini on the block

Yet again breaks my heart.

I am in an alliance with the h.o.h..

If you need a pawn, it should be me.

-Announcer: will the power of veto

Save either brent or britini from eviction?
