23x11 - Episode 11

[bunniefuu]

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

...in a summer of team play...

...a power alliance between the four kings,

The three remaining queens,

And a single ace was born.

-I like the royal flush alliance.

-Announcer: there also was

The six-person cookout flying

Completely under the radar.

-We can't have any rain on the cookout.

We all have to stick together. We all have to make sure

We're grilling everybody else, not each other.

-Announcer: with the house united

To blindside brent...

-Everything seems to be

Going as planned this week.

The royal flush has the votes

To get out brent.

-Announcer: ...teams started strategizing

For the future, and the kings were in everyone's crosshairs.

-I would like one of them to go.

-No matter what, one member

Of the kings has to go.

-Announcer: but the kings

Had targets of their own.

-It seems like people are leaning towards whitney

Being a target, so the question is who goes next.

-It's got to be hannah.

-Hannah I think is smart. She's playing a good game.

She's laying low only on purpose.

I think she's a huge threat.

-Announcer: putting xavier between

A rock and hard place.

-My goal throughout this season is to try

To keep members of the cookout off the radar of anybody else.

I can't blatantly stick up for hannah and say,

"No. We shouldn't go for hannah"

Because that might turn heads.

-Announcer: so with the flight attendant

Reaching his final destination...

-Julie chen: by a vote of -,

Brent, you are evicted from "the big bang theory" house.

-Announcer: the head of household

Competition was more crucial than ever.

-Go, go!

-Announcer: and christian secured

Safety for his team.

-Chen: congratulations.

You are the new head of household.

-Announcer: tonight who will alyssa's

Main squeeze target for eviction?

And will the wildcard comp

Throw a wrench in his plans?

Plus, it's the biggest wildcard decision of the season.

-Oh, my!

-Announcer: all this right now

On "big brother".

-The thing is is my strategy is amazing.

♪

-[Exhales]

I didn't know how close...

-They were? -They were.

Whooo!

Head of household, man.

I needed this. This feels incredible.

The kings are such a powerhouse.

We are the only team with four people left,

And everyone likes to hate us because they ain't us.

So we're an obvious target to the remaining teams,

But the kings are here to stay.

-Let's go, baby. Another win for the kings.

In case you didn't get a chance

To see the competition from the angle that I did...

...the jokers, the aces and the kings

Were all neck and neck, but, luckily,

Kings were able to bring this one home.

-Chen: christian, congratulations.

-It feels great to be safe, especially after

Coming off a successful h.o.h.

The intended target for the week, brent, went home.

But during my conversation with the kings last week,

Two main names thrown out there besides brent

Are whitney and hannah.

So between those two options,

I would prefer the target be placed on whitney.

-What happened to us laying our puzzle out?

There was talk about

Going after the kings this week,

Specifically christian and alyssa.

But now that christian is h.o.h.

I guess it's royal flush all the way.

-Oh, great. You get to unpack.

-I get to unpack!

-Aw.

-Guess who's back, america?

Ah, I hope brent enjoyed that blindside.

I'm safe!

Yes, I'm safe! Yes, I'm safe!

Peace out, brent.

Yeah, I'm safe! Let's go, baby!

Oh, my god. I'm so excited.

-I got apples.

I got apples. Come on.

-Why do you have the apples? -I don't know.

I don't know what we're supposed to do.

-All right. Perfect. We're meeting, right?

-If you don't get your queen a*s out of here...

We're jumping and screaming again.

We're jumping and screaming. -Two times in a row.

-We're jumping and screaming.

-Y'all, they hate us.

I am so excited

That christian won h.o.h.

The kings are k*lling it.

-Kings, kings, kings.

-That means all of the kings are safe this week.

Me, xavier, sarah beth and christian.

We would've been on the block.

-We've just got to keep winning.

-Christian wins the comps, and I have the social game,

So I'm definitely going to have a lot of insight

Of what he's thinking this week.

-We're in power, we're all safe,

We won our second h.o.h. -We're the only team with four.

-We're so bad, we're so bad.

-Oh, sorry. -[Laughter]

-You're good. -We're heading out.

-You're good.

-Just trying to put the suitcase back.

Deuces!

-That's it. That's it. -That was an excellent roll.

♪

-Are you okay, d? -No, I really wanted to win.

-I know. I mean-- -i'm so over it.

-It's okay. -I don't know [beep] this game.

-D, it's okay.

-Okay. -It's okay.

It's all right.

Life happens. -I know.

-It's okay. -I'm just annoyed because

Once again they're going to come for us.

-I don't think they're going to come for us.

-We'll see.

I'm annoyed that the kings are in power once again.

At this point the jokers have been

On the block for the last two weeks.

I feel like we're going to be a pawn

And on the block once again. -Don't beat yourself about it.

-No, I can't because

They'll look at it as a reason. -Yeah.

-But you better go out there out there and be happy.

Please, for tonight, at least.

I wanted to win this h.o.h. So badly.

I feel unsure about christian being the new h.o.h.

He could put me up on the block if he wanted to

Because we don't talk game to each other.

♪

-Dude, my heart's pounding because, like, now

I have responsibility. You know? Like, damn.

I don't want that.

The royal flush.

-What's up, buddies?

Whoa. What was that? -No. The flush.

-So christian is in my alliance

Of the royal flush,

And it is the queens

And all of the kings.

An ace up the sleeve in derek x.

But I'm a little worried

If the right people

Get safety in the wildcard comp,

That I could touch the block as a pawn.

I will be competing in the wildcard comp.

I have to win it.

-Christian and I are both in a royal flush alliance.

So I do feel relatively safe this week,

But things are not looking good for my team.

It's hard figuring out what's best for my personal game.

Do I go all the way with this royal flush alliance

And trust that they have my back or do I keep

Trying to fight for hannah and whitney and make sure

They stay in the game and maybe we can have this powerful trio?

Nothing ever seems to go easy for me.

-If whitney ends up on the block,

Who would we steer the target to?

I feel okay with christian winning h.o.h.

To be honest I don't know that much about him

On a personal level.

This is going to sound mean, but I don't really care

To get to know him on a personal level.

But I am worried that

I could go up in a pawn capacity.

I'm hoping he sees me as a very trustworthy person

And for that reason

He doesn't put me on the block as a pawn.

So, yours truly has to get to work so I can nudge

Christian in a particular direction.

Aka, away from me.

-I don't want anyone from our team going up this week.

♪

-How are you feeling?

I just really wanted to win.

So I'm defeated and just so like--

-We're all going to have our comp.

-It's just-- I wanted us to win

Because two weeks in a row, we've been on the block.

We're literally the underdogs.

And we're not doing with one h.o.h.,

We're dealing with two h.o.h.'S.

-Yeah, I know what you're saying.

I don't know who the target will be.

Each week so far since we got here

There's been a very clear target

Of who needs to go out.

And I feel like this is the most important week

That we've had so far

Because I really have no idea who christian

Could potentially nominate.

That's a scary game.

-If I'm put up, I'm going...

To flip.

♪

-We're the best team here.

That's why we're in here two weeks in a row.

-You having to press the button.

So now it falls on you.

How are you feeling?

-I don't know what the [beep] I'm doing.

Why am i, like-- I don't know

What I'm going to do. I have no idea.

-It's still the same plan.

-I think it's still the same. -Yeah.

-Nothing really-- -i think it's the same plan,

But it's more so what you feel comfortable with.

-I think we have to put both of them up.

And then see-- -determine through the week

Who the target actually is. -Mm-hmm.

I think people are wanting whitney

Rather than hannah so if you leave whitney next week,

People might want her to go up rather than us.

And everyone has said

They want whitney out, they want whitney out.

No one has said hannah, so why not

Take the girl no one's saying

When there's another person other than us

That people are wanting out.

-Personally, I'd rather

Get rid of whitney.

-I would agree with that.

-Now that we won this, it's us every week.

We're always the main target.

-All right. I'm leaning a certain way.

-Gamewise, next week instead of two of us

Being up, it might be one of us and whitney.

No one's going to put up hannah next to us.

Christian definitely has a huge opportunity

To get a big target out.

It's just more so which target we should go for.

Hannah is really smart.

Hannah knows this game better than anyone.

I think a lot of people underestimate hannah

And what she could be capable of.

I really think whitney could be manipulated

Where she wouldn't put us up.

-You don't think hannah could?

-No. Anyone who thinks she can

Be manipulated are underestimating her.

-Exactly. Everyone keeps saying that.

-That girl is not manipulated by anyone in this house.

She know exactly what she's doing. I swear. -You can tell by her demeanor.

-I would like christian to send

Hannah out the door.

I think she would play better

In physical comps, I know she would in intellectual comps.

She has a better social game than whitney,

So, of course, I want hannah to go over her.

-We could easily manipulate whitney. Hannah, no way.

I really think hannah makes sense.

-Hannah is my baby sister in this game.

She's also a member of the cookout,

And so it puts me in a very tricky situation.

I'm always in tricky situations in this damn house.

-Now say whitney wins, who are you putting up?

-Veto? -No. Whitney wins wildcard,

And she saves-- -she decides to take the wildcard decision.

-And say she saves hannah.

What jokers are you going to put up?

-That would be the worst-case scenario.

-Like, britini and azah. I don't know.

-Why not big d? I'm just asking.

-Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Whitney winning the wildcard comp and saving herself

And hannah would not be ideal

Because I only have a few options outside of royal flush,

And that leaves the jokers.

If I put azah and britini up on the block

I would get less blood on my hands

Because I would not have to nominate anybody

In the royal flush alliance.

-I love us, guys. -We're all right. You know?

-We're pretty cool, I think.

-I'll tell you who hates us. -America.

-All the rest. -I think everybody.

I don't know, man.

♪

♪

-I can't get over this top. I'm so amazed.

I have I seen some tops in my life.

-This is a "I'm going to sweat my a*s off

While looking snatched" top.

-Okay.

You know you ain't

Going in public with that on.

-Yeah, I would. Absolutely. -You'd go to the gym...

-, Percent. -With a trainer...

And say, "I'm here to work out"?

-I wear this to the gym.

-I just don't understand whitney's outfits sometimes.

She swears it's a workout top.

Baby girl, this is not a workout top.

All she got to do is go whoo!, And the whole world

Sees everything they need from whitney to see.

To be honest.

I'm just surprised that you

Went to the store and said,

"I have to get this top."

-Yeah, but it's cute.

Any time I wear my sports bra with the buckles and this hoodie

I get so much [beep] in the house.

You know, I'm single.

I like to look cute when I work out.

Big d is my number one critic.

He doesn't know nothing.

Why do you think I'm wearing a hoodie? I'm hiding a little.

[Laughs] just kidding.

-"I'm trying to hide a little."

-[Laughter]

-Sarah beth, would you potentially wear this?

At the gym?

-[Laughs] I told you.

-Yes. -No.

-You need somebody else. -Hannah!

Would you wear this to the gym?

-[Laughter]

-Let's keep it going. Let's keep it going.

-Alyssa, would you wear

This sports bra to the gym? -No.

Say no.

-Say yes.

-They're telling me to say yes and no,

But I'll give you my honest opinion.

-Okay. Honest opinion.

-I would not wear that.

-[Laughter]

-Told you.

-Growing up was tough because

I feel like I didn't have many friends in school

Because I always felt like I was a little different.

And a lot of people, when they don't have friends in school,

They turn to family, but I didn't really

Have family either. I would say, like, I love

My parents and I know they love me unconditionally,

But it's not-- we're not close.

If that makes sense.

Maybe azah you can relate to this.

It's, like, it--

I, like, live in, like, an immigrant household where

They grew up in china,

And between china and the u.s.

There are such different cultural values.

On, like, what is important to them.

In china, some of the most important things

Are, like, money, status.

-Yeah. -In western culture, you ask

Anyone what's important, everyone says, like, happiness.

-I definitely can relate to derek x. A lot.

As a child I got made fun of for my dark skin.

And I really grew up not proud of where I came from.

It was only when I became an adult

And started seeing other people of african descent

That I realized that i, too, could be african,

I could be american,

And build and blaze my own path.

-There's just a huge disconnect culturally

Between me and my parents.

And, like, I don't think

That gap can ever be bridged.

You know, like, it's just too different

In how they were raised and how, like, I was raised.

I have a different value system than my parents,

But I still appreciate

And respect, like, my heritage.

But when you only see asian americans

In popular culture represented in specific ways,

You can almost feel like you

Have to stereotype yourself.

So, a big reason for me to be on "big brother"

Was to provide an alternative image that people

Could look at.

I would've appreciated kind of, like,

Seeing someone on television

Who had a personality that

Is different than what you would've expect.

-I think that's awesome. You're a good example.

-Aww. -Dirty, dirty dog.

-Dirty dog. Yes.

♪

-Go time. Let's get it.

♪ Widlcard

♪ Wildcard

-Houseguests, it is time again

For the wildcard competition.

-Whoo! -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.

Kings, since we are safe,

No one from our team will be competing.

Claire, since you are the only eligible member from the queens,

You must compete this week.

-Everyone else on my team has already

Played in a wildcard, so I am playing by default.

But that's okay with me.

Even though I feel pretty good with christian,

This is big brother. Anything could happen.

So I would love the safety just to be sure.

-Whitney, since you are the only

Eligible member from the aces,

You too must compete.

-I am so grateful that I actually have the chance

To play in this week's wildcard competition.

I want to win this just to ensure that

I don't go on the block. I don't think I will,

But you really never know in this game.

-Whitney, no matter what,

Cannot win this competition because

I would like to not have to touch the jokers

This week and only have to put the aces up.

Jokers, since britini has already competed,

You must decide between derek f.

And azah.

Who are you sending? -The jokers

Are sending me.

-Yay! -Azah.

-I feel like I can't beat whitney.

Hopefully azah can win and win our team's safety

Or get some type of advantage that can switch up this game.

-Okay, claire, whitney, azah,

It's time to get wild!

-[Cheering]

-Yeah! Yeah!

-I walk in, I see martini glasses,

I see a lounge on the side, some pulsating music.

-Ooh. A little martini glass.

Very swanky.

-It's been awhile since I've been to a club,

And club bb looks pretty darn popping.

-I feel pretty safe this week.

I'm in the royal flush with christian, the h.o.h.

But I want an ace...

...or a joker to go home this week.

And so I don't want anyone on their team having the safety

Or having the wildcard decision.

-I want to win this so badly.

I want this for my team.

I want to ensure safety,

So I'm putting all stops first

In winning this competition.

-I want to win in order to guarantee myself safety,

And, hopefully, keep the rest of my team,

The aces, off the block.

-Welcome to club bb.

Unfortunately, club bb has had its share of problems.

My bartender just quit, and the electricity is on the fritz.

That means you'll be making your own drinks tonight.

Oh, and maybe in the dark.

Yeah. Here's how it works.

On "go" place your olive in the cup at the bottom

Of your martini glass.

Then roll your olive up your glass

And on to the toothpick at the top of the rim.

Yeah. But, um, watch out.

At predetermined times, the lights in the room will cut,

Leaving you in a complete blackout.

Sorry [laughs].

If an olive falls off, you'll have to try again.

The first person to land an olive on their toothpick

Wins the game, so...

Are you ready to play olive shook up?

-So for this competition, I have to take the olive

From the bottom of the glass

And roll it up using my balancing skills

All the way up to the toothpick at the end of the glass.

Now I hate olives,

And I'm not a fan of martinis,

So I don't know how this competition will go for me.

-[Buzzer sounds]

-This competition is tricky.

It's all about the tiny, tiny movements,

And I'm a big person.

I don't make tiny movements. -[Buzzer sounds]

-Can someone please bring in a designated driver for this?

-Oh!

-Damn. -That's not right, claire.

-Oh, my gosh.

-My strategy for this is

Slow and steady wins the race.

I want to take my time, balancing these things

Because I'd rather have

Less ba*ls drop than more.

-Azah's taking her time which is good.

-She's not getting anywhere, though.

And azah is focused.

-Yes, azah is laser focused.

-She's like game face.

-She's about to move that with her brain.

-So I definitely think I got

The slow and steady part right,

But... My ball's moving

A lot slower than others.

-Slow and steady. -Slow and steady for sure.

Sorry about the lights.

Hope you can see straight.

-All of a sudden lights go out,

About precise movements.

As an artificial intelligence engineer,

Acceleration, momentum, friction,

-Hey, jury.

-Hey, jury members.

-Well, I might be, alyssa.

-Yeah. Geez. -True.

-I'm just on the jury. I'm going to vote

For someone to win $,.

-Claire, first of all, congratulations.

-Thank you. -I mean, anyone would've

Picked that, that's crazy.

That's so wild.

Potentially two or three weeks.

Ultimately, my game is with the royal flush.

I need to make sure everyone's on the same page

Before nominating someone that

Potentially pisses off the royal flush.

If you won this week, who would you have nominated?

What would've have done?

How would you have ran it?

-I feel like whitney makes sense.

Whitney and hannah make a lot of sense.

Whitney and a joker could make sense.

-I feel that whitney would absolutely put me up.

If no one else was influencing my decision,

My target would be whitney.

-But we should get rid of

Who that is not working with us

That we think is the most likely

To win the comp next week.

Not whitney, clearly.

We've seen her in two comps, and she sucked.

Her social game is also bad.

I think the target should be hannah.

Hannah is overall a much bigger threat to my game.

She's smart, she's athletic.

She has all of these guys wrapped around her finger.

I'm so frustrated the other people in my alliance

Don't see hannah as the target she is.

Huge red flag.

-I think that there's somebody else

That's more of a threat to both of our teams,

And that's britini.

Britini has a legitimate reason

To target both of our teams.

She could win next week

And put guys on the block.

And I know everybody feels bad

That she was on the block twice in a row, but...

If I won next week I'm looking at britini.

-Hannah is where I struggle because we all agree that

She's a smart player, right? -Yes.

-If she puts two of us up,

She knows we're coming after her.

I don't know how it benefits anybody

To put two of us up because they know we're coming after her.

This is difficult. I need to keep

Hannah safe but not show my cards at the same time.

Under no circumstance can there be

Any whiff of an idea

That members of the cookout are working together.

-I get that you guys are thinking about jury

And thinking about votes,

But I'm still thinking about making it through next week.

Out of all of us, hannah would

Put me up before any of y'all.

-Right now we are talking about one week.

She hasn't rallied our support as in, like,

Hey, we got hannah, we're going to take her to the end with us.

She has support this week because of a different target.

-She's close to several members of our alliance

And as someone who's not close to her,

You have to understand that scares me especially seeing

You guys fight for her so hard.

She's managed to convince you guys

That she's not going to go against you,

She's not a threat, you can convince her,

You can get her under your wing.

-I want to be clear and say

I'm not necessarily fighting for hannah.

What I have said is who my target would be,

Which was the question.

I don't particularly want hannah on the block.

I don't want to see any members of the cookout

On the block this week.

But hopefully the target stays

On whitney and britini.

I just feel

For our game as a whole,

I don't know why no one is looking

At somebody who can target both of our teams.

How do you feel, christian?

-Yeah, it's your decision.

Those are the three people

That I have thought about, too.

-I wish you the best in your decision.

Go with your gut, this is your h.o.h.

Ultimately, it is your decision to make.

-If the flush sends home

Anyone that's not in the flush,

At the end of the day, I support it.

-Cool.

♪

-Hello, jokers.

-Hello. -Here we are again.

-Hi. -I'm slightly

Conflicted on who to focus on as a target.

So I needed to meet with the jokers

To see where everyone's head was at, to get all different angles

And opinions on who I should put up this week for nominees.

I want to have you guys' back.

So, I just wanted to make sure that...

Next week you guys would have our back.

This is a team that has lied to each other

To get their own player out.

So they're not very trustworthy already.

It seemed like before brent went home

There was a spokesman for the aces, brent.

-Correct. -Do you think someone else

Has stepped into those shoes?

-I think someone else has always been

In those shoes alongside brent.

And I'm talking about the "w".

-You guys are stupid if you think you're not going

To put two people from the aces.

-You have literally no idea where their loyalty lies.

-It's kind of right in front of your face.

I mean, it's literally walking

With blond extensions walking around the house.

-Whitney's always the one who's talking,

She's always the one planning, she's the one who's always

Having conversations with everybody one-on-one.

Like, she literally said to me

If they lose, we should all go for the kings,

As she said to me.

She was definitely coming for you.

I'm just going to tell them that whitney

Was going to put them up on the block.

I'm going to do whatever I need to do

To keep the target off me and my teammates.

-Um, my target was the "w".

Yeah. I don't like to say names but yeah.

-This is your opportunity to make the move

To send yourself further in this game.

-You want us to talk briefly?

-Sure. Yeah.

-Thank you, guys. -Of course.

-Thank you.

-I'm hoping christian will have his sights set on whitney.

As cookout members, we always disuade and put down

Any talk or conversation

Around any others and try to squash that immediately.

-After that converstaion, I would--

I want my target to be hannah.

Because it sounds like next week

They're going after whitney.

-Clearly the queens don't want hannah out.

-Yeah. Yeah. -The jokers want whitney out.

-The queens want whitney out, and the jokers want whitney out.

-Right. So why are we doing the work that they want to?

-I hate that my team is smart.

It makes it a lot more difficult for me

To protect the cookout.

-No one's going after hannah.

-I think hannah's the target.

I'm not thinking about my reign,

I'm thinking about when I don't have the power.

♪

-How are you, christiana?

-Stressed.

At this point, I really want

Hannah to trust me going forward

Which is almost impossible

If that's the person I nominate this week.

So, I think the best way to do it

Is to go directly to the source,

Bring hannah in the room,

Have a one-on-one with her

And discuss the potential

Of her going up as a pawn

And see how she feels about it.

It seesms like...

The house... -Um-hmm.

Is coming after whitney.

-Yeah.

-And I can't put up derek

Because he would go home against whitney.

I don't know.

We have a good relationship. I don'’t want to ruin it.

You would stay over whitney.

-So is this you saying I'm going up as a pawn?

Just be honest just be real with me.

-I can't tell you that for sure.

-Christian kind of hints that I could be

Put up on the block as a pawn.

My wheels are turning and turning.

What can I say to convince christian

To not put me on the block as a pawn?

This is a do or die conversation for me right now.

Not game related, just on a personal level,

Because I wouldn't do that to you.

-I know.

-If you put up whitney, that's fine.

If that's the house's target,

I'm not going to get in the way of your h.o.h.

If you put up a joker next to whitney...

-Right. Another thing is I don't want to piss off two teams.

-I understand that, but...

At this moment in time, you have an h.o.h. Under your belt

You have a wildcard and you have power of veto.

All within the first four weeks.

If you're on the block next to someone,

You would probably go home

Because you have the most comp wins in this house.

Even if you put me on the block this week, you're not.

I'm not sure if britini and azah came promise you the same.

Or they might, but maybe this is the first day

They're talking game with you.

You're not going up if I win,

And I don't know how many other people

In this house can promise you that.

-You brought up really good points that's bothering me.

Now I'm thinking about those.

-I don't think putting me up is best for your own game

Because you have an ally in me.

Once the team twist is over, you're going to need people

That you're working with outside of your own team.

-Hannah is extremely smart

And extremely convincing.

I really need to consider whether or not she's the right

Person to put up on the block.

♪

-Hey, guys. It's time for the nomination ceremony.

♪

-This is the nomination ceremony.

It is my responsability

As the head of household to nominate two houseguests

For eviction.

In my nomination block

Are the keys of the houseguests

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 I have nominated is...

♪

-I have nominated you, whitney,

And you, hannah, because

I think we all know that if myself,

S.b. Or alyssa didn't win

This week's head of household competition,

We'd see at least one of our faces on the memory wall today.

My decision is based purely on what's best for the kings.

This nomination ceremony is adjourned.

I nominated hannah and whitney.

There is a lot of debate on who the target will be,

Either hannah or whitney,

And my head's spinning.

We're just going to have to figure out

Who exactly the target is this week.

-All have I to say is

Mark my words, christian.

Because I will win the upcoming veto competition.

I will remove myself from the block.

I will win h.o.h. Next week.

And I have more incentive than ever

To split up you and your little partner in crime, miss alyssa.

So I'll be coming for you two.

Just you wait.

-I just feel incredibly confused.

I don't really know why my name in particular

Has been thrown out there.

You can't trust anybody in this house.

-Obviously it's never a good situation

When you see a member of the cookout being nominated, but...

Now it's time for the cookout to go to work

To ensure hannah survives eviction night this week.

-Announcer: who will win the power of veto?

And will be it used to save either hannah

Or whitney from eviction?
