23x09 - Episode 9

[bunniefuu]

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

Since early in the game, xavier was working

Closely with the cookout.

-That was the first thing we talked about.

-You know what we're talking about.

-Announcer: and more recently formed

The royal flush alliance

With sarah beth, alyssa,

Christian, tiffany, kyland,

Claire and derek x.

-Announcer: so after he was crowned

The new h.o.h....

-Julie chen: congratulations, xavier.

You are the new head of household.

-Announcer: ...his nominee options

Were limited.

-Basically my options are

Brent, whitney and britini.

-Announcer: all the houseguests were annoyed

By brent.

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

I'm just too much. -Ugh.

-I'm working with you because I trust you.

-Mm-hmm. -Not because I want to date you.

I just don't believe you can be friends

With people you find attractive.

-Everything that comes out of brent's mouth

I'm like [gags].

-Announcer: so he became

Xavier's top target.

-Everybody in the house wants brent gone.

-Announcer: at the wild card competition...

-Announcer: ...tiffany and derek x.

Teamed up against britini.

-I need to make sure britini doesn't win because

We need to keep her as a possible option as a pawn

To go up against brent.

-Announcer: ultimately leading

To tiff's victory.

-You have one this week's wild card competition.

-[Cheering]

-Announcer: x devised a plan

To make brent believe he was a pawn.

-How do you feel about competing?

I'm trying to get him comfortable

With the idea of using him as a pawn.

-Announcer: but the flight attendant

Had a turbulent response.

-If you put me up, I don't think our relationship

Will be the same... -Uh-huh.

-Going forward. -Yeah.

-Nothing about me physically,

Mentally, or emotionally screams "pawn."

-Announcer: as part of

The lawyer's strategy,

He wanted brent to think

Britini was the real target.

-My understanding is everyone in the house is looking

At britini.

The key is to keep brent

Calm throughout the week.

-Announcer: but her teammate azah

Did not want brit on the block again.

-I don't like the fact that

Her being just toyed around with like a pawn.

I don't like it. So, if you're going

To put somebody up, just put me.

-Announcer: at the nomination ceremony...

-I've nominated you, brent,

And you, britini.

-Announcer: ...x ex*cuted his plan.

-This ensures that the target I intend to go home this week

Will run smoothly.

Britini, it's nothing against you personally.

-Announcer: tonight, will the power of veto

Provide the flight attendant

An emergency exit from the block?

Or will the joker have the last laugh?

Plus, the "chrisalyss" the showmance is heating up.

-I'm just going to pull this up.

-Announcer: all this right now

On "big brother"!

-Oh, my god. Math.

Math!

♪

-This nomination ceremony is adjourned.

♪

-I nominated brent and britini this week.

My alliances want brent gone because

Not only from a game standpoint is he a threat,

But, on a personal level,

He seems to be rubbing people the wrong way.

I nominated britini as a pawn because

Britini will serve as a smoke screen

To cloud that brent is my actual target for this week.

[Sighs]

-I think xavier's speech was absolute crap.

I mean, I'm not an idiot.

I was born late, but I wasn't born last night.

And, in any scenario, you can't use a guy like me as a pawn.

It just-- it's not believable.

It's unfortunate because

I thought we were on the same page.

-I can't...

I'm pissed.

This is the second week in a row! Like, oh, my god.

You can't trust anybody in this house.

You can't. I'm done.

I'm done, like, no, uh-uh.

-I am upset that xavier put

Britini on the block, even after I offered up myself.

-[Sobbing]

-And I didn't like that derek x. And tiffany were working

In the wild card competition to deny britini a chance at safety.

The cookout is my number one alliance

In this house.

But if any decisions are being made

Involving my team, the jokers,

I want to know about it.

I'll talk to her.

-[Sobbing]

-Azah, could we have a moment, please?

-[Sniffles]

-[Door creaks]

-[Door closes]

-I know. I know it doesn't.

I hate that you're going to have

To be put through hell twice.

Even though I hate

Seeing britini on the block

For a second straight week,

And seeing her cry,

It rips my heart to shreds.

From a game standpoint, it is the best move

To ensure that brent goes home.

I'm so sorry, britini.

Brit, everyone in the house knows what's going on.

-Okay.

[Exhales]

X is telling me I'm the pawn.

X is telling me "I'm so sorry."

"I feel so bad." You don't get to feel bad.

I get to feel bad. I'm the one on the block.

-You're going to be all right. -It's just going to be hell.

Right now, all that I need to focus on is winning

The golden power of veto and taking myself off the block.

Done putting my fate in other people's hands.

It's time to put it in mine.

-We can just talk in here.

-Brent being on the block is definitely the aces' doing.

We've thrown all these competitions

In order to make sure brent is not safe for the week.

And if everything goes according to plan,

I only have to deal with brent the next week

And then brent goes out the door.

-Look at me.

-I mean, I can't stand the guy

So much so that I'm willing to take out

My own teammate.

That's how bad it is.

-I am pumped to see brent up on the block.

He thinks he's the hottest thing

That has ever came into this house.

Oh, my gosh! Please, let brent leave this week.

-Okay. All right. Come here.

Come here. Come here.

I know. I know. I know.

I know. I know. I know.

-[Crying]

-I need you to breathe. -I'm trying.

-It is hard to comfort britini

And tell her everything's going to be okay

When your alliance member is the person that put her

On the block in the first place.

-Okay.

-I feel like I'm manipulating someone,

And it doesn't make me feel good.

It's really, really difficult

Going between morals,

Emotions and the game.

-Ugh. -Hey. Hey.

-Yup? I know. -Strong face.

-I know.

-I'm conflicted.

I know where azah's coming from.

Another member of our team, the jokers,

Is being put up on the block

And getting her name dragged through the dirt.

-I want to bring britini with me because she's very loyal,

And the person who can take all those other people down.

-But I need azah to understand

That the cookout is the main priority in this game

And that's what's going to the end.

Brit is a tough girl.

She's going to get out of this.

♪

-All right.

I'm sorry, man. -No, no, that's good.

Um, we had something beautiful. -Yeah.

-And we could still-- -we still have something beautiful.

That's not going anywhere. -But I'm not dumb.

-No, I know.

-At all. -I know you're not.

-I'm highly intelligent.

-You are.

-You put me up there. -Uh-huh.

-Who has been nothing

But truthful to you. -Agreed.

-Nothing but loyal. -Agreed.

-Would vote your way. -Agreed.

-You're willing to risk that.

And we're both intelligent men. -Uh-huh.

-Doesn't make much sense.

I'm not pawn material,

And I think everyone knows that.

Numbers don't lie.

People do.

Looks like I'm the target.

Brent suspects that he's the target.

That is what it is. I don't really care about that.

However, by continuing to present him as the pawn,

It will maintain a sense of calm

Throughout the house for the week so there's no chaos.

You're a competitor, and, strategically,

You're here with it.

-Absolutely.

-Xavier, I can read you like a coloring book.

I know I'm the target,

But it doesn't even matter.

I have too many relationships built in this house.

So, I have the numbers to stay.

I have my team,

Which is whitney, derek x. And hannah.

I have the queens, which is

Tiffany, claire, and kyland.

I also have alyssa.

At this point, I shouldn't even be a flight attendant.

I should become an accountant because I'm absolutely

Crushing these numbers.

Now I have to do a lot of damage control

Because as you can see from my team's reaction...

-They're shocked. -They're not going

To take it too lightly.

-[Laughing]

-But... -It is what it is.

Actions speak louder than words.

♪

-Okay, here you guys are.

-Did you talk to x.?

-All right. Yeah, so, listen.

I'm not surprised. -You're not surprised?

-I'm the target, not britini.

I'm not an idiot.

-Yeah.

I told him, like, "dude, nothing about me

Screams pawn." -Yeah.

-Like, nothing.

-What makes you think that you'd be the target?

-Because you don't put me up as a pawn.

I'm flattered because I guess, apparently,

I'm the biggest target in the game.

I warned him that you guys would be

Not okay with it. -Yeah, absolutely.

-He still did it anyway.

So he might think this is the smartest move

In "big brother" history, but we're going to prove

That it's not. -Yeah, yeah.

Sorry, brent. You're going home.

But, of course, we can't let you know that.

-If I'm not worried, you guys shouldn't be.

-Yeah. -We still have the veto.

-Okay.

-Because I have my team's loyalty

And because I have the numbers behind me,

I have nothing to worry about. I'm safe this week.

Xavier made a catastrophic mistake.

-Go, team. -Go, team.

♪

-How you doing?

-Um...

-I decide to talk to xavier

Because I don't agree with his nominations

Or the things he's said.

And I want to check to see where my alliance member is at.

It's hard. I haven't been there, but it is hard.

-Like, for me, it was, like,

Seeing her cry, man. Like, she's got a heart of gold.

I don't want anything to happen.

Like, I trust that girl, and i...

It just seemed like the smartest game move,

But it's hard not to personally

Feel things, you know? -Yeah.

-I don't want to make anybody cry,

And now I'm getting all teary-eyed.

-[Sniffles]

-I was afraid of that, too, from her.

That's why I didn't want to see that.

That's why I said I wanted to go up instead.

-I couldn't put you up. I know you asked me.

I can't put you up. I just couldn't.

-If you felt it was the right decision,

It's the right decision. It's okay.

-I couldn't put you up.

-Even though I don't agree

With xavier's decision to put up britini,

I still have to respect

That he's making the decision he thinks is best

For both the cookout and his game.

But I'm still having trouble understanding

What tiffany and derek were doing

During the wild card competition.

-Hi.

-Tiffany, can I talk to you for a second?

-Sure. -So I'm hoping

By pulling tiffany aside,

I'll be able to get some answers.

-Hey, how you doing? -I'm okay.

-I just wanted to ask why did you and derek

Go for britini in that game?

-[Bell chimes] -oh!

You guys, I see what you're all doing.

-Brent is the target.

It doesn't matter.

-Okay.

-I don't know what else to tell you.

-Okay.

-I really feel that azah

Doesn't understand the way

I'm playing the game.

I am definitely holding information back.

She's an emotional player.

I'm a logical player, and I also

Don't want to divulge to her exactly

Who I'm working with directly.

I don't feel like I owe

All the details to azah.

I play my game different.

-I understand. We play our games differently.

I would've done something different.

We just have different opinions on how

We would've done it.

-I play to win. -All right.

I think tiffany has

The best interest of the cookout at heart,

Which is why she's doing what she can

To keep us safe at whatever cost.

However, she might not understand

The emotional turmoil that comes with that.

Thank you. -You're welcome.

-I guess we're not going to see

Eye to eye on this, and I guess

We're playing the game differently.

I'll just leave it at that.

♪

-I don't know if I told you that she checked me

About how I played that competition

That me and derek was targeting britini.

It was very confrontational.

-That was her getting emotional.

-She's emotional about everything.

I don't really give a [beep]

As long as it doesn't affect me.

I've got to remember this is a game for me,

And I have to stay calm.

And that's my girl,

So I'm trying to have some respect

For her level of understanding.

We can't have any rain on the cookout.

We all have to stick together,

We have to make sure we're grilling everybody else,

Not each other.

If tentions continue

Between members of the cookout,

It could definitely mean doom for the cookout as a whole.

-It's at the point where

I think she just doesn't like me now.

I'm not talking to her anymore about anything.

This is "big brother." We're playing a game.

So either you have game or you don't.

-Uh-huh.

♪

What if america hates us?

-They probably do.

Because we're acting like middle schoolers.

-We are.

Me and alyssa don't get

The most amount of time alone together,

And we're trying to keep things on the low.

So now that we're alone in the h.o.h. Room,

I figure now is a good time to sh**t my shot.

My eyes are getting kind of sensitive to the light.

So, I'm just going to pull this up.

-Christian's a very good kisser.

Very soft lips.

So, I'd say he gets a out of .

Thank god I'm tanned because you can't see me blushing.

My family's going to k*ll me.

-Come on, now. -[Laughing]

-Goodbye.

-It's like a dad walked in on me and my girlfriend making out.

But I live with my parents. -Dammit.

-So this has happened before.

Players for the veto competition. -What?

You're lying.

♪

-Only six people will participate

In the veto competition:

The head of household, the two nominees,

And the three other players selected by random draw.

Will the nominees please join me up here?

I'm really hoping I don't pick either derek f. Or azah

To compete in this competition.

I know they would remove britini from the nomination block,

And I would prefer my nominees

Remain the same for the whole week.

As h.o.h., I will pick first.

Houseguest choice.

I pick christian.

-Thank god xavier

Picks me to play in this veto comp.

So, hopefully him or me wins so that we can keep

Brent on the block.

-In a perfect world derek x. Gets picked for this veto.

But at this point, I'll take anyone from my team.

Derek f.

-Whoo!

-[Laughing]

-I'm so excited to play in this veto comp.

Like, this is my opportunity to show everyone

That I'm a competitor, and I can play

For my teammate britini.

Because I want to take her off the block.

-Now that big "d" is officially picked and playing

The veto with me, I want azah

To get picked with my chip.

Because she's absolutely saving me from the block as well,

And that would be clutch.

Whitney.

-[Screams]

I've been waiting for this moment.

I know brent is on my team,

And he probably expects me to use it on him if I win.

Little does he know,

I want to win it and keep him on the block.

-"Big brother" will inform us when

The competition is to begin. Good luck.

-Whoo!

-All right, hannah. How did you feel about

The veto selections?

-Umm... I'm cool with them.

-Hopefully, you know, either christian or I win the power

And I stay with my team, and we can make a decision from there

So no one else has to do anything.

-Brent's ego is so big.

-I think this week's kind of exposing that.

-He feels more than solid

And comfortable and safe about his position in the house.

-He likes to hear himself talk.

Let him do the talking. I'm just going to sit back

And let it be what it is.

-I hope the rest of the house isn't...

Suspicious of the six of us.

-I don't think they are. -Working together.

-I like hannah. Her personality actually

Reminds me a lot of my younger sister back home.

I'm glad hannah's kind of coming

Under the wing of the cookout.

-I've got a question for you. -Yes.

-I don't want to put you on the spot.

But are you on our team?

-Yes. -Okay.

-That's understood coming into the house.

-Okay, bye. That's all I needed.

-From a game standpoint, I think she's

Very intelligent. I think she's very observant.

And it's nice to have someone like that on your side.

-There is a sense of camaraderie there just because

We have experienced certain things

That the rest of the house has not.

-Uh-huh. -You know.

Of course there's going to be

A deeper connection -mm-hmm.

-Yo, yo, yo!

It's time for the veto competition!

Get dressed, and meet me in the backyard!

-[Shouting]

♪

-Yay!

-Oh, my gosh! -Oh, my gosh!

-I walk into the backyard, and, oh, my gosh.

I see the lounge chairs. I see the bowling lanes.

I see the little spinney handles.

-[Cheering]

-And here come the players in all their tutus,

And they look so cute.

-[Shouting]

-As a b.b. Superfan, I know what

This one is: bowl-a-rina.

But it actually looks a little bit different,

And I can't wait to see what's going on here.

-Yo, yo! It's party time

At the b.b. Beach club,

And things are about to get turned up.

The dance floor is where the fun starts.

But the real action is happening at the after-party ragers

In the hotel rooms where you want to be the first to get in.

Here's how it works: I'll draw names to determine

The order in which you'll compete.

The first player will choose someone to face off against.

Each round, the three-digit room number

For a new raging party will be revealed.

Your goal is to be the first to knock down numbers,

Leaving only the correct room number standing.

But a gate blocks your lane.

To lower your gate, take a spin on the dance floor

By holding on to the handle and spinning times.

After spins, the gate will lower for seconds.

This is your chance to roll your ball

And knock down the numbers you don't need.

You'll have to move fast

Because after seconds, the gate will pop back up

And you'll have to spin again to get more time.

Be careful!

If you knock down a wrong number,

You'll have to hit the reset button

And start all over.

The first player that leaves up only the correct room number

Will win the match.

The loser is eliminated.

The next player in line will then step up

And challenge any of the players remaining in the game.

This continues until the final standoff

Where the remaining player will win the golden power of veto!

-[Cheering]

-I will now draw names

To determine the order in which you will compete.

Britini, you're up first. -Whoo!

-Xavier! -[Cheering]

-Derek f.! Christian!

-Whoo!

-Brent! Whitney!

-[Cheering]

-Who's ready to play

Room key rumble? -[Cheering]

-All right, britini.

Who would you like to challenge?

-I would like to challenge

Sir brenticus.

-Whoo!

-I need to win this veto to secure my own safety.

I am on the block for the second week in a row.

We don't like the block.

Negative out of .

-The first round is britini versus brent.

-[Cheering] -i don't need to win this veto

Because I have the support and I have the numbers in this house,

But I'm going to try to win it because I want

-All right. Looks like there's a party

In room .

-Whoo!

-Go, brent! -Let's go, britini!

-Come on, brent!

-Go, go!

-Go, britini!

-Brent!

-To get the right room key number,

You have to knock down every number

That's not in your room key.

For this round, the room key number where

The party is at is --,

So I need to knock down , and .

-I hit a six. Man, come on.

Six needed to stay up.

So, now I have to go back to my reset button

And reset my pins.

-So, I spend fast. I'm out the gate.

I look like a baby deer fresh out the womb.

I'm doing everything I can

To make sure my feet stay underneath my body.

All right.

-Start over, brent. -So I get to the lane,

And my gate isn't even lowered.

I'm so dizzy. I didn't spin enough,

Now I have to go back and spin more.

-Take it slow! Take is slow! Are you okay?

-I'm good. -Looks like me on friday nights.

-Whoa! Whoo!

You're seeing a thousand different lanes because

Your brain's all over the place.

So all I'm trying to do is pick the middle one

And aim and hope for the best.

-Come on, britini. Come on, brent.

You guys got this.

There you go!

-Come on! No! -No!

But I still have derek f. In there.

Derek f., You need to pull this out for your girl britini

So that you can win this veto and take me off the block.

-All right, xavier.

Who would you like to challenge

To a head-to-head room key rumble?

-Brent wins, which means britini's out,

Which is good, but the job still isn't done yet.

We still need brent out of this competition.

I challenge brent.

-[Applause] -all right, guys.

-All right, boys. Let's go. Come on!

-It's crucial that either myself or christian

Wins this veto. As long as the veto

Stays in control of the kings,

Remains on the block.

-Xavier's up next.

And guess who he selects? He picks me.

This just solidifies that I am, indeed, in fact,

The target this week.

And I'm ready to compete.

-[Horn blows]

-All right. It's time for match two.

Xavier versus brent.

-If brent wins this veto competition,

My plan for this week comes crashing down.

Either myself or christian

Needs to win this. That way my intended target

Can remain on the block.

Go!

Fingers crossed. I'm cheering for you.

Hey. We have fun, don't we?

-Big d!

-Hey! -It's your turn to party.

Who are you challenging?

-I am challenging whitney.

-Oh!

-The reason I want to win this competition

Is because britini's on the block.

She's my teammate. Team jokers.

I have to make sure I take her down.

-The party's in room .

-Come on, whit!

-I want to win this competition

Because nothing would make me happier

Than to win the veto

And then not use it on brent and just see

The look on his face when he knows

That his entire team betrayed him.

-Let's go, whitney!

The room number for round

Is , , , so that means I need to knock down

, And .

-[Bell rings]

-Ah!

The hardest part of this competition

Is the spinning. I mean, I'm not no ballerina.

-Let's go, "d"! Come on!

Let's go! Let's go!

-I'm super dizzy.

It might look easy at home,

But it is not easy in person.

I will tell you that now.

-Go, big "d"! -All right, "d"!

-Ah!

-When it comes to spinning, I'm feeling

Prety dang confident but...

My bowling is just-- lord help me.

-[Buzzer sounds] -ah!

-I keep knocking down the wrong numbers

And every time I do that, I have to make my little way back

To the reset button and start all over again.

This is taking for-ever!

-[Buzzer sounds]

-Ah!

-Go, whitney!

-I wasn't initially

Trying to throw it, but now I am beyond exhausted.

I genuinely am praying that derek

Will finally beat me so we can just end this.

-[Bell rings]

-Congratulations, big "d."

You remain in the game.

I'm sorry, whitney.

You have been eliminated.

-Whitney's eliminated, and now she can't take me off the block.

She tried her best, but it doesn't even matter

Because I have the numbers to stay.

-Christian, who would you like to face

In a room key rumble?

-Derek f.

-I want to win this veto and help out

It makes the most sense to pick derek f.

He's going to do if he wins veto.

-I am dead. I don't have the energy.

I'm still dizzy from the first time around.

-Party's in room !

-[Horn blows] -go, christian, go!

-There you go. -You're knocking down , , !

-Go!

-Keep going, big "d"!

-Come on, big "d"!

-Slow and steady, big "d"!

-There you go. One! Get one! -[Bell rings]

-[Buzzer sounds]

-You have to go reset. -I got this with

My rotational hip movement.

Speed is going to be what takes me to the end.

-Get , , .

-, , , Christian.

-[Bell rings]

-Keep going, big "d"! You got this!

-Last one! Last one!

-[Bell rings] -[applause]

-I'm sorry, big "d,"

You have been eliminated,

And christian remains in the game.

-I could've helped britini, but I did the best I could do.

The world was still up and down because I was still

Spinning in my head.

Sorry, I tried. It's the spins. -No, no, no.

I am so proud of you.

I am so proud of you. -Thank you.

-Thank you for fighting for me. -Yup, yup.

-Yo! It all comes down to this.

Xavier versus christian

For the golden power of veto!

-[Applause]

-Going up against xavier this round,

I really don't feel any pressure

Because we're both on the kings' team.

I'd still like to win to assist in the eviction of brent.

But we're just going out there to have some fun,

So may the best man win.

-Okay, boys. Looks like the last rager

Is in room .

-[Horn blows]

-Everything has gone as planned.

So at this point, if I win, cool.

If he wins, cool.

I'm going to jump over a couch or two,

Work on my parcourt skills.

Maybe I'll get an action movie deal after this.

Either way, I'm going to have fun with it.

-Take your time, christian. Take your time.

-Slow and steady, christian. -There you go, x!

-[Bell rings]

-Oh, come on! -[Bell rings]

-Congratulations, christian!

You have won the golden power of veto!

-[Cheering]

-Golden power of veto is all mine.

And now I can help my teammate xavier

Have complete control over his h.o.h

-[Metal clinks] -ooh.

-Unfortunately, I have lost the golden power of veto.

I am so happy.

This is perfect. This is exactly what I wanted to happen.

At this point, the key is to just make sure

That my intended target leaves

This house on eviction night.

-Obviously, I'm disappointed that

I didn't win the power of veto.

I wanted to take myself off the block and be safe

For the rest of the week and not even have to worry.

But I definitely still have hope that the veto can be used on me.

-Not only did I lose the veto competition,

But I'm very sick.

At this point, I don't even want christian to use it.

I'm not even going to ask him to use it.

Because I know next to britini I have

The votes so I'm hoping everything stays the same.

♪

-Appearances are everything in this game.

Everything. -Yeah.

-There you go!

Stripes.

-What? -You're learning.

-Yes!

-Britini's acting way too happy.

-Heck yeah.

-They're definitely going to use the veto.

My gut is never wrong,

And right now my gut is telling me

That the veto is going to be used.

And I know for a fact I have the numbers.

I should have my three teammates: derek x.,

Hannah, and whitney.

I should also have the queens as well.

So that's kyland, tiffany, and claire.

But I should also have alyssa's vote to beat britini.

So I need the nominations to stay the same.

If they use that veto, I'm [beep].

You just say your team wants to vote brent out.

Just be like, "listen. He's annoying."

No, seriously.

Be like, "he's annoying." Whatever.

Keep the noms the same. Don't draw any more blood.

We'll vote brent out. -Got you.

-And you need tiffany and claire to be up there with you.

But they need to know that this is not even real.

-[Laughs]

Brent is proposing

The exact thing

That we're already planning.

But instead of saving him, we're sending him home.

My mind is...

...blown.

-But then, obviously,

The night of the vote, you vote britini out.

This is a perfect plan.

I'm pleasantly surprised

With how my mind is working in this game.

If this works,

I think this could go down--

And america, tell me if I'm wrong--

As one of the greatest

Last-ditch efforts

In "big brother" history.

It will be an ultimate game move

That changes the whole narrative,

And they'll be shocked on eviction night.

-So, let me get this straight.

He planned for you guys to meet with us.

-Uh-huh. -Yes.

-To make sure the veto isn't used.

-Correct. -[Laughs]

-And he said, "it will probably be

One of the best blindsides in the history of the show."

-[Laughter]

-You know, now that he's come up with this brilliant plan,

I really feel like

Maybe it's in my best interest

To use the power of veto to save him.

I think that would further my game.

Not! Boy, your a*s is going home.

He's a mastermind.

-He's masterminding his own death.

-Oh, my gosh.

♪

-Hey, houseguests. It's time for the veto meeting.

♪

-This is the veto meeting.

Brent and britini have been nominated for eviction,

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

I have decided...

♪

...not to use the power of veto.

This veto meeting is adjourned.

I didn't use the power of veto because

Xavier is my teammate, and I'd rather not have him

Put more blood on his hands this week.

Now we just need to lock down these votes

And send brent packing.

-I am sick and tired of being a pawn.

I am ready to be off the block,

And I'm ready for brent to go home.

Once that happens, america, this house better watch out.

Get ready for revenge of the pawn.

-So our plan went absolutely perfect.

I couldn't ask for a better scenario.

I can't wait to see xavier's face

When britini gets evicted,

Especially because he thinks

Everyone's going to be voting with him.

And once he finds out they're not,

Make sure you zoom in on his face because

This should be one of the biggest blindsides,

And he thinks he's the puppeteer,

But he's actually the puppet.

The puppeteer is right here.

-Hello, brent. This is your h.o.h. Speaking.

We have arrived at our destination.

Please gather all your belongings and exit to the left

Where you will meet julie chen moonves.

Thank you for flying "big brother" airlines.

-Announcer: will brent be blindsided

At the live eviction?

And who will be crowned the new head of household?

Find out tomorrow night at :, : central

On "big brother"!
