Xavier claimed all the power at final four.
- You are the new head of household.
- Better buckle up, america.
- Announcer: wanting to take kyland out...
- I do still believe that I can beat kyland if I sit
Next to him in the final two, but his a*s gotta go.
- Announcer: x convinced derek that was their best
Path to the end.
- If we keep ky here, I still think I can beat him,
I think your chance to beat him will be more difficult,
But I think both of us can beat azah in any competition.
- I get that, I get that.
- Announcer: setting the stage for big d's big move.
- I cast my vote to evict kyland.
- Okay.
- Announcer: with only x, azah, and big d remaining...

- Julie: congratulations, xavier, you have won part one
Of the final head of household competition of the summer,
Automatically advancing to part three.
- Announcer: now, with part two looming,
X needs big d to win big.
- You get part two, and if we win the part three,
We're going to final two.
- Announcer: or, will azah derail their plans
And earn the power to cut one of the guys?
- David beat goliath,
And I'm gonna beat both of these boys.
I'm going to win this game.

- Good evening, I'm julie chen moonves,
Welcome to the live season finale of big brother.
For days, xavier, azah, and big d had each other's backs
As members of the cookout alliance, but tonight,
All bets are off.
And their individual quest to be the last
Houseguest standing takes center stage.
So, who will be the final, most important head of household?
Who will that houseguest take to the final two?
And who will emerge victorious,
When the dust settles and the jury of nine cast their votes?
We'll find out live, tonight.
But first, it's time for azah and big d to face off
In part two of the final head of household
Competition of the summer.
The winner of this round will move on to face xavier
Live tonight, to become the final hoh of the season.
- Welcome to part two of the final head of household
Competition. The winner will advance to face off
Against xavier in part three for the chance to become
The final head of household.
Today, you're going to play big brother's very own
Four of a kind slot machine. Here's how it works.
On "go", you'll receive your first jackpot question,
The answer is always four specific houseguests.
To answer, race up the stairs to the top of the slot machine
And spin each wheel to align
The four houseguests that answer the question.
Once you think you've lined up the correct four faces,
Hit your button. If you're incorrect, adjust your answer
And buzz in again. If you're correct, jackpot!
Your next question will appear.
The houseguest who correctly answers three questions
The fastest, will win the game.
Are you ready to play four of a kind? Yes!
It's imperative that I win this competition.
X and big d have a final two.
I don't have any deals with anyone.
So, the only way I can get up in those final two chairs
Is if I win this competition.
[Airhorn blaring]
Who were the four individuals to win
A wild card competition?
I have been studying my butt off. Nominees, days, times.
So I immediately know the answer is christian,
Sb, tiffany, and claire.
These wheels are kind of hard to spin.
You have to put a lot of effort into it.
I'm basically doing mountain climbers on this wheel.
I know the last person I need is tiffany,
But I realize tiffany is not on this fourth wheel.
Come on, this is a puzzle too? Great.
I'm putting claire on the fourth wheel,
So I have to go back and change one of my other answers.
♪♪♪
I get the buzzer, and I'm wrong.
I look at the wheel, and while I might have the answers,
The pictures aren't aligning with the arrows correctly.
So, now I need to adjust the wheels, and line up the photos.
I think that...
[Panting]
[Buzzer ringing]
Who were the first four individuals to survive
Eviction night on the block?
I'm pretty sure the answer is alyssa, big d,
Britini, and hannah.
[Rumbling]
[Buzzer]
So now, my faces are aligned with the arrows,
But my answer's incorrect. Ah!
Of course, it was alyssa, britini, hannah,
And sarah beth.
♪♪♪
Who were the first four individuals to use
Any power of veto?
I'm hot, I'm sweaty, I'm tired,
But I know this is the last question,
So I gotta put all into this.
I know immediately that the veto was not used
Between two, three, and four, so the veto had to have been
Derek x, britini, kyland, and x.
♪♪♪
[Buzzer ringing]
I do not feel confidant in my performance.
Even when I had the right answers,
I wasted so much time not lining them up.
Honestly, at this point, it's in god's hands.
♪♪♪
- Wow!
I have my final two with x, he already won part one,
I just need to win part two against azah.
Then that means me and xavier control everything,
And we can take each other to those final two chairs.
[Airhorn blaring]
Who were the four individuals to win
A wild card competition?
I know this is christian, sarah beth, tiffany, and claire.
It is really hard to spin this wheel and stay
Balanced up there. I know if I stand on this thing,
I'm just gonna whoo! And fall off.
So, I'm just gonna crawl like a baby.
Let's move, d. Big baby.
[Buzzer dinging]
Who were the first four individuals to survive
The block on eviction night?
I remember that it is alyssa,
Because she was looking gorgeous on that first week.
Damn.
My knees are k*lling me at this point.
And the longer I go, the more and more my knees
Are getting scraped up and sore. But I'm not giving up.

[Buzzer dinging]
Who were the first four individuals
To use any power of veto?
Britini, derek x, let's do them.
Oh, my knees!
I'm in so much pain right now.
[Grunting]
But, me being a frasier, it is not in my blood to give up.
If my dad could go rounds with mohammad ali,
Then I'm definitely not gonna give up
And let some stupid slot machine beat me.
Derek x. I am so close to the end, I just need one more,
And I can get off this damn slot machine.
[Grunting]
[Buzzer dinging]
Oh my knees! Oh!
This was the hardest competition of the summer,
But you know what? I never gave up.
I did the best that I could,
And hopefully my time is good enough to beat azah.
♪♪♪
- Alright, time to see which one of you won this competition
And will be facing off against me in hoh part three.
Azah, you finished with a time of...
Minutes and seconds.
Derek, you finished with a time of...
Minutes and seconds.
- Good job, baby.
- Congratulations, azah,
You have won part two of the final hoh competition,
And will be facing off against me in part three.
[Screaming]
- I get to compete in part three of the hoh.
Now, there's only one competition standing between me
And final two. X, bring it on, I'm ready!
- I'm sweaty. Sorry, thank you.
- It was horrible. I scraped up my whole entire knee.
- Oh, damn. If big d had won part two,
Then we'd both be guaranteed final two.
But now that he's lost, I have the pressure now placed on
Me to win part three in order to guarantee
That I can be sitting in one of those two chairs.
- I am frustrated because I was giving it my all,
And I feel like I failed.
So hopefully I can work my magic with azah,
And with xavier. And they will take me to the final two.
♪♪♪
- So, azah will now take on xavier in part three
Of the final hoh competition of the season.
Whoever wins will immediately choose who they sit next to,
When they face the jury live, later tonight.

- How are you doing?
- Welcome back to the live season finale of big brother.
Having won part two of the final hoh competition,
Azah has positioned herself to make a run to the end,
And it is not sitting well with big d.
- If the jury wants to be bitter,
Kyland's just adding fuel to that fire.
I'm pretty much ----ed.
- You don't think tiffany's going to be
Like "haha" to kyland?
- I think she might be.

- I don't know how I feel about this whole azah and xavier
Cuddling all the time. For me, that makes me worry,
Because I carried this girl all the way here.
And she owes me a seat next to her if she wins.
Ugh, I am over it. She knows better. She knows better.
♪♪♪
- I don't really have a say.
- I think what she's saying is,
You win part three of the hoh, who are you taking?
- I'm gonna stick to my deal. Which is gonna be xavier.
I can't win against you.
- Now that I've won part two of the hoh competition,
I need to decide who I would take to the final two
If I were to win part three.
Up until this point, me and big d have been ride or die
Best friends. But in the past week,
He's let me know his genuine thoughts on my game.
He doesn't respect it, he feels like he's carried me,
And to be frank, it has hurt my feelings.
- Who do you want to sit next to at the end, azah?
- I've always wanted to sit next to you.
And my decision wasn't based off of whom I felt
I was gonna win against. It was based off of the person
Who's my best friend.
- I understand that point, but I think that we also have
To remember that this is a game.
- Yeah, and people will-- I played the game with my heart.
I played the game differently.
- Yeah. - Yes, do I want to win?
Do I want to win $,? Absolutely.
But it's who do I want to sit next to at final two.
- I have to stick to what I first initially started.
Wouldn't want to be that person where I go,
"All right, let me go back on my deal and take my friend."
- But, I don't win next to you,
And that does make me feel some type of way.
- I'm being honest with you. I have a deal with this man
I have made since the beginning.
I'm just giving you facts that yes, ms. Azah,
If I sit next to you, then I automatically lose.
There's nothing else I can do.
And to me, I'm a little bit annoyed.
And I'm not kissing nobody's a*s.
On that note, I'mma leave it at that.
♪♪♪
- Hey.
- Morning.
- You know how you were feeling last week?
- I think we should just not talk game for the remainder.
- I get how you're feeling last week. I came to you like,
"I don't know what to do,
"This is such a hard decision, blah, blah, blah."
- Yeah, and guess what I haven't done?
I haven't said that to you, I haven't given any indication
I'm changing my ----ing mind. I haven't done that. So you--
- I'm just--
- No, you going off of your own insecurities. It's changed.
- Azah, I'm going off of how it looks.
Like I'm just going off of how it looks.
- And I went off your actions and what you actually did.
- Yes. - I have not done that.
- You questioned my actions last week,
When I said I would never do that to you.
- See, you was feeling some type of way
Before I questioned you. Before I asked that question.
- I was not feeling some type of way,
I'm just stating facts.
- I always thought me and big d, final two was a done deal.
But... I've come to realize,
He's made it clear to me he doesn't respect my game play.
And at times, I really don't like the way that he talks to
Me. These things have made me start to want to consider
All options.
♪♪♪
- I'm just over her and her shenanigans.
You knew that me and x had a final two.
I told you the truth. So at the end of the day,
If you're making a decision, you should be making
A decision off of whoever you want.

I'm just underneath him every five ----ing minutes.
So, I don't know where my mind's gonna be now."
[Bleep] that.

Mm-hmm.

Truthfully, the person I have to thank is kind of big d.
The more he's talked, the more damage he's done while
I've just kind of been sitting back.
So now, I'm kind of in a great position.
- I've been doing a lot of reflecting, and I really
Thought that I saw me and big d in those final two chairs.
But, I want someone at the final two,
Who believes I deserve it just as much as they do.

You were doing exactly what I would've done last week.
If I would've went off all emotional,
Your a*s would've went out the door,
And kyland would've been here.
One move I will regret when I watch this back.
I just can't believe I'm even hearing this from azah.
I have carried you all the way to final three, azah.
And now you're telling me you can't take me to final two?
Please, girl. Have you lost your damn mind?
Do what you need to do, and we'll leave it at that.
You're welcome. 'Cause you're here. So.
I did that to myself.
So, I appreciate you, and whatnot.
I'll still give you a hug 'cause I still care.

- Welcome back to the season finale of big brother.
Tonight, the jury will gather live to vote for a winner.
And recently, they met to weigh which of the final three
Deserves this historic title.
- Okay, ladies, who do you think is going
To be the next juror?
- I do not want it to be kyland even though he kicked me
Out, I think he's playing a really good game.
I actually would like to see big d come through.
- Me, too.
- Yeah, I would not mind.
- As the joker, I don't want to see azah.
- It would not surprise me if azah was the next
Person to come through.
- That's true.
- Especially in this game, boys always stick together.
- Boys stick together.
- They always stick together. They look out for each other.
[Laughing]
- I think that they would be smart to send x out.
I think he's playing such a good game,
But I don't see who takes the shot at x at this point.
[Screaming]
- No!
[Screaming]
- Oh, my god!
- Oh, ky!
- Ky!
- We have so many questions for you!
- I brought the blazer to help, you know, get things going.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What happened?
- When I was talking to xavier after the hoh competition,
I was worried. And x said, "oh, no, no."
He's like, "it's fine." And I said "cool."
And after the veto, he was like,
"Hey, we'll talk about this later."
And I was like, this doesn't make me feel
Like we're still good."
- That means x or big d won veto.
- Actually, it was big d who cast the vote.
- No!
- Because that's what x told him to do.
- I didn't think he'd get the opportunity. But...
- Damn.
- Okay, everyone, so what do we think is the most
Important factor in determining a winner of big brother?
- Strategy, relationships, competitive wins.
- Let's talk about xavier.
I think xavier has played an incredible game.
- I think what's special about x's game is he really took
The time to curate a personal relationship with each
Individual here.
Everyone trusted him and everyone felt safe with him.
- I walked into the house on day one,
I looked him in the eyes and said, "I trust this dude."
The only con I can think of is he's a bartender
Who doesn't know how to make a martini.
- If you're going to lie about your occupation,
At least learn how to make a three-ingredient drink.
- I think every single thing he did in this game was
Intentional. He was always playing the game.
I think he was always on.
He's playing the game he meant to play.
- It's hard, because on the strategy side,
He wasn't good at making decisions. Like, he threw,
Like, three competitions.
- How many has x won? Two hohs and three vetoes?
- Yep, that's impressive.
- I don't know which competitions x was throwing
And what he wasn't, but I do think that he did not
Have a lot of heavy conversations.
X never had to offer any information.
I would run something by him and he would go, "yeah."
What would have been x's big move in this game,
Had he not taken you out?
- He didn't need a big game. - He didn't need one.
- It's hard for us to know for sure how much of what we're
Perceiving was intentional game play on xavier's part.
So I would be really interested if he does make it
To final two to let him defend his game
And tell us what his moves are. - I would love that.
- Okay, where was azah's position in this game?
- If someone is able to slide under the radar for the entire
Game and not have a target on their back,
And then at the very end, make a move that takes out x,
The biggest target in the game, then that person has my respect
Do we think azah made a good move taking out chaddha,
When she was hoh?
- Did azah getting out you make sense for her game?
Now that she's not here, it does.
- That's what I'm wrestling with right now.
- I would say my positive for azah's game right
Now is her loyalty.
I think that every personal relationship she crafted
In the house was there for a reason.
- I think azah played a game where she had more personal
Alliances outside of the cookout.
- I think azah was very honest in her game play,
And I do respect that.
- But I think it's really easy to be honest
When you're not talking.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, maybe she made some good personal relationships,
But I don't think that was strategic.
I think she just made relationships
With the people she got along with.
- She started playing a much more passive game.
I wanted to see her make a big move.
Her taking out you wasn't a big move.
If azah wins this final hoh, and takes out x then--
- That's the big move.
- That's the move.
- It is steve taking out vanessa.
If you take the shot when you need to take the shot,
I think that is very commendable.
- I'm not going to lie, azah, big d,
I think strategically,
Competitively are pretty similar to me.
- Knowing about big d and his ability to keep certain secrets
It is hard not to take some of that into account.
- I will say for derek, I do feel like his social game was
Very strong. Azah really did not talk game with me at all
Until I forced it on her.
- The best thing to say about derek is we have
The same name.
[All laughing]
Literally, I think he got carried.
I don't think he had any original strategies.
- Big d talked a lot. A lot of that things he said
And did disguised the cookout from me.
He acted in ways that did make it seem like there
Wasn't that alliance going on. But derek hasn't been able
To win any competitions. And that's not because
He was strategically not winning competitions.
He was not capable of winning competitions.
- He always tried his best. He gave his everything.
So his will power and desire to stay in the game
Is something that I cannot overlook.
- He's very committed to being a good team member.
But, like, he doesn't have a skill set to be competitive
In competitions in the similar way that azah did.
And so it's hard to ignore, hey, we have a historic season.
I want the first black winner to be
The strongest player in the game.
- I'm trying to understand that, and then I see her
And big d in those chairs, and she leaves.
- It was a tie. For chaddha and for derek.
- So he made more contributions at that point than chaddha?
- I feel like I'm being undermined. The fact that
You can sit here and say that me and big d
Are interchangeable players?
- I do not believe that. It is very insulting.
- In that moment, it was like, okay, I know that a lot
Of people look at him
As not really doing anything on purpose.
And I was like, I know he is doing things on purpose.
- Okay, if you feel like big d and I are interchangeable,
I feel differently.
- I think that the biggest thing at this stage
Will probably be seeing how they answer questions.
- And those final speeches as well.
Because I do want to see what they say
As far as their contribution to the cookout.
- When they finally have the opportunity to defend the game,
It's going to be huge.
It's so important that we ask the right questions.

Head of household of the summer. Now he must choose
To evict either big d or azah, automatically ensuring

Let's head to the living room for his decision.
Hello again, houseguests. Big d, azah,
In just a few moments, xavier will cast his vote to evict.
But before he does, you each have one last chance
To plead your case. Big d, you're up first.
- Thank you, julie. Xavier, my brother, we have been here
Since day one. We have a bond. We have the black ops together.
I've been your ride or die.
I depend on you this whole entire game.
I've been there for you, so hopefully you see
It in your faith that you will keep me
To ride this out together.
- Julie: thank you, big d. Azah, you have the floor.
- Xavier, I just want to say I appreciate and respect
The game you've played this entire time.
I thank you for what you've done in starting the cookout.
I've been loyal to you, but I know what I signed up for,
So I'm comfortable with whatever decision you make,
And I wish you the best in all your endeavors. Thank you.
- Julie: thank you, azah. All right, xavier,
You are now guaranteed at least,
At least second place and the record $, that goes
With it. But you know you have a big decision to make.
By deciding whom to evict, you're also deciding who will
Stay and sit next to you when the jury of nine votes
For the winner. This decision could be the difference
Between winning the $, grand prize, or leaving
Tonight in second place. Are you ready to make
Your decision, xavier?
- I am.
- Julie: all right, then, please,
Go ahead and cast the last eviction vote of the summer.
- First, I want to say I love you both as people
And in this game, you guys have both been extremely loyal
And true to me, and I am eternally grateful for that.
Big d, we came through those doors together,
And I think it's only fair that we walk out them together.
So, unfortunately, azah, I have to vote to evict you.

You are the last person to be evicted
From the big brother house.

-There and you're like... - Yeah.
- Anything-- anything can happen. Oh, my god.
- Yeah she, she crushed it in the last comp.
- She crushed it.
- Crushed it. Not a one miss.
And I missed, I messed up on one of the questions.
- She got seven right. She was k*lling it.
- Tiffany's the one that threw me off.
- I was good with tiff. The first one was the one
I was questioning. I had the wrong answer up first
And I switched it to the right one.
- Oh my god.
- Azah, how are you feeling right now?
What are you thinking?
- I am sad. I'm sad. Uh, I got tripped up on that first
Question, and I knew it. And I feel like that is what cost
Me. I knew what I signed up for. I knew I was coming into
A final three where the final two had been made,
And the only way I would get to those final two chairs
Was by me working myself. But I know I've put my entire
Best foot forward in this game. I did every single thing
That I could, so I don't regret anything.
- When did you realize you tripped up on the st question?
As soon as I gave you the answer or--
- No, I know that britini got nominated four times.
But I know that britini got nominated out a one vote.
And I thought christian got nominated at two votes.
So that's why I picked that as the wrong answer.
- But you got seven out of eight, lady. So.
- I did.
- We're all dying to know, because we saw
You struggle with "who would I take to final two?"
If you win hoh tonight, who would you have taken?
- Um, this might have been something that everyone would
Have been upset at, but I would have taken xavier.
- Julie: why?
- I admired the game that he played.
I knew that taking big d,
I had more friends in jury, and I had a big chance
Of winning. But I'm not a money-motivated person.
And I had to speak in my heart whom I felt was a great
Representative, a great winner that could represent
The first african american person of color.
So, I did not think he deserved third,
Which is why I felt in my heart that it would be best
For me to bring him if I were to win.
- By bringing him, are you saying you were willing
To sacrifice-- do you think you would have gotten any votes
To win against him?
- I think I might have. I think it would have been a chance.
But I think it would have been a very close, close bet,
If so. But I believed in myself that if I was the person
To win, then it would have happened.
But I'm not the person to win this season.
And I'm comfortable with that.
- Julie: you did make history with the cookout.
- I did! I did! I know!
- Julie: yes.
- I'm really excited about that! I couldn't believe it happened!
I mean, all six of us. We made it. It's crazy.
- Julie: final thoughts?
- Um, you know, I'm so sorry that I'm not, you know,
An exuberant-- I'm still processing.
It's a lot to take in.
But I just really honestly thank god for this opportunity.
I tried as best I could to represent him,
And I know that I messed up in a lot of ways.
But there's a reason why he picked some girl
From takoma park, maryland to come into this house.
I was wondering what the purpose was,
And this final time I see--
I can still see there's a reason for everything, so.
I'm so thankful.
I can't wait to see my parents.
I can't way to go back home, and I'm ready to, you know,
Move on to this next part of life.

In a room with smiles on your faces.
Now, as you can see, there are only eight of you
Out here right now.
And you know the jury is a jury of nine.
And that is because it was only moments ago
That the final houseguest was evicted.
[Gasping]
Tiffany, any thoughts on who juror number nine is?
- Maybe it's derek?

Sarah beth, who do you hope is juror number nine?

All right, in just a few moments,
You will all lock in your votes

But before we do that, I know there are some questions
For the final two. - Yes.

For the houseguest they feel deserves to win big brother.
But before they do, they have some questions
For the two of you.
Kyland, you're first.
What is your question, and who is your question for?
- Okay. Just right here?
- Julie: do it!
- All right. Congrats, guys.
- Thank you.
- Xavier, what do you think are the most important factors
We should consider as we look to crown
The first black winner of big brother?
- The most important factor is I think, you should consider,
Since we are crowning the first black winner on "big brother,"
Are not only who played a great game,
But someone who also didn't make things personal
As they played this game.
I feel that I did play a very strong game,
But I never belittled anyone on a personal level.
I never got personal on any capacity as I played this game.
I just simply--i did lie. I did deceive. I did manipulate.
But this is big brother.
We all knew that coming into this game.
That's what the game is.
And I hope none of you felt like I disrespected you
While I was in this house.
But, yeah, consider individual game play,
Team game play, and just overall who you felt
Played the best game.
- Julie: all right, thank you, xavier.
Britini, you're next. What is your question,
And who would you like to ask the question to.
- Okay, big d!
- Britini, you look amazing, baby!
- I love you! Okay, here's your question.
- Yes.
- Some in the jury feel the decisions you made in the game
Were at the direction of others.
Please cite two key decisions you made entirely on your own.
- So, number one, I started the cookout, all six members.
Number two, every time there was an h.o.h. Person in charge,
I made sure to come there with actual facts
That was going to target someone outside the cookout.
I always put the cookout before myself.
So I didn't make decisions on everyone else.
I made my own decisions.
And like I said, coming into this game,
I owed nobody nothing.
Anybody could get it at any moment, and you all know that.
- Love you.
- I love you.
- Julie: thank you, big d, thank you.
All right, alyssa, you're up.
What is your question, and who is it for?
- Okay, hi, guys!
I miss you guys so much.
Okay, my question is for xavier.
What was your biggest mistake in the game?
- My biggest mistake in the game I felt was...
Probably getting too close with my teammates.
Honestly, I care about you guys a lot,
Seeing every single one of you walk out
Of the door crushed me and I knew at this some point
It was going to have to happen in order
For me and big d to get into these chairs.
I don't reget it, but it definitely made this game
A little bit harder.
- Julie: thank you. Hannah, chaddha.
Everyone's like, "“why do they call her chaddha?"”
Because her last name is chaddha.
So then I say hannah chaddha.
- Hannah chaddha, hannah banana.
Okay, wow. Congratulations to the two of you,
My big brothers, my bald-headed brothers.
Big d, my question is for you.
Big d, some in the jury feel you were here
For fame over game.
How do you respond to that?
- I made it clear coming into here that, yes,
I did want to be on tv.
But I was here for bigger reasons.
I made it clear I wanted to be here to help my mother.
And there was an opportunity for money to be on the line,
And I made that clear every single time
That I'm going after the money.
And I was here for the game. I played the game.
If you look at it, all you guys are sitting there
Because all I did was sit there, entertain,
Make you guys laugh, and the whole entire time,
I was sending you guys home one by one.
[Laughing]
- Thank you, big d.
- Straight philly.
- Julie: thank you, thank you, big d.
All right, derek x. Your question.
Lucious--xavier.
List one or two strategic game moves you made
That we in the jury are not aware of?
- You guys may be aware of it now, but in the final four,
I did, unfortunately, have to blindside kyland.
Earlier in the season, on week five,
I did throw the h.o.h. Competition, "“whale of a time,"”
To derek x. I did that specifically to benefit
The cookout alliance.
If you guys have knowledge of the cookout alliance.
But basically, I did that because the two strongest forces
Outside the cookout alliance was derek x,
From an individual standpoint, and the king's team.
I knew if derek x. Won h.o.h.,
He was likely going to take shot at the kings' team.
Unfortunately, I didn't want to lose a team member,
But I knew in order for all the rest
Of our targets to minimize, we had to lose somebody,
Because as you know, everybody wants us out.
From a strategic standpoint, from an individual
And team standpoint, those were both moves
That I felt like I made that benefitted me.
- You read me like a book.
- Julie: thank you, xavier. All right, sarah beth,
What is your question and who is it for?
- Congratulations, guys.
- Thank you, sarah!
- Big d, other than starting fights to try
And conceal the cookout,
What did you specifically contribute
To getting the alliance to the final six?
- So, as I mentioned before, any time there was an h.o.h.
Person in charge-- which, obviously, we know,
I could not win an h.o.h. Competition.
But I made sure to always be in that person's ear,
Whoever h.o.h. Is in charge, and drop
Actual facts for anything I felt like would benefit
Not just myself, the members in my cookout at all times.
And I also made sure that if there was something
That needed to be done, a plan that needed to be ex*cuted,
I made sure it happened.
And if the cookout was not on board with it,
Unfortunately, I still made sure it got done
Because I knew it was best not just for me,
Also for the man sitting next to me,
And also the rest of the cookout.
- Julie: thank you, big d.
All right, azah, you were just evicted by xavier.
So I want to give you the chance to ask one question
To either xavier or to big d.
You have the floor.
- Big d, my question is for you.
- Yes, love.
- My question is why do you feel you deserve the $,
More than the person next to you?
- I will say this.
I deserve the $k because I put in the work.
No matter how many competitions we competed in,
I made sure at all times to give it my all.
No matter how many times I fell.
I never had to throw a comp. I gave it my all.
On top of that, I didn't just think about myself.
I thought of the rest of you guys in the cookout
And I showed that by putting myself before everyone else,
Even making myself a pawn. Even telling people,
"Hey, I'll be a pawn for anybody if needed be
"To protect you guys."
So, I think you can see I have a heart.
I showed my heart. I was there for everyone.
Unfortunately, yes, did I have to lie and manipulate
To get here?
Yes, but I made sure to protect this man next to me,
And I did that.
- Julie: all right, thank you, big d.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Xavier, big d, I will be back in just a few moments
When you will each have an opportunity
To make a final statement to the jury.

With the final two.
Xavier, big d, it is almost time for the jury
To cast their votes.
But first, you each have a chance to plead your case
And tell the jury why you deserve to win big brother.
Big d, you're up first.

So, I have said a lot tonight.
So I'm going to say this: I came in this game knowing
What I was going to do.
My goal was to be the first african american winner
Of big brother.
But when I saw five other african americans
That looked like me, I knew right there and then,
I'm going to start an alliance with them
And we're going to work together.
I have worked really hard in this game.
I have never gave up.
So, if you guys can see that in your heart
And see that I am a competitor,
Even though I can't win nothing in this house!
Then you guys will vote for me.
And I appreciate your love.
I can't say nothing bad about this man.
This man deserves it as much as I do.
So, whatever decision you make, I respect that,
And I love each and every single one of you guys.

Xavier, you have the floor.
- Thank you, julie.
This season we were challenged
To not only balance our team interest
But any interest of our alliance,
Along with our individual interest.
I feel like I played that the best this season.
From a team standpoint, my team was the only team
With two members in the jury who aren't members
Of the cookout.
From an alliance standpoint,
Never did I waiver with the cookout in a moment.
If they wanted me to throw a competition, I did it.
Regardless of if I could win it.
If members wanted me to win a competition,
I won when I needed to,
As evident during the double eviction
When I won the golden power of veto
To ensure no cookout member was going home.
From an individual standpoint,
I won three h.o.h.s, that ties the most this season.
I won three veto competitions,
That's the most out of anybody this season.
And a total of seven competitions total,
Which was the most of the season.
And I was also the ultimate pawn.
I was nominated five times, yes, once,
By some stupid you roulette wheel.
But yes, five times, and only had one vote to evict
Cast against me.
I was the ultimate pawn and the ultimate competitor,
Which means I feel I played an all-around pretty good game.
I will never say anything bad about big d.
He's my closest friend in this house.
He's my closest brother.
We're both bald, we're both bearded
And we're both sitting here in these two chairs
Asking you guys to give us $,.

Hello travis, frenchie, brent, whitney, and christian.
[Cheers and applause]
It is so good to see all your faces.
Now, when each of you got evicted,
You all got to see what america saw, which is everything.
So, we all know, we all know that this summer
Was dominated by a secret alliance of six
Called "the cookout."
- Hey!
- What's happening, y'all? - [Applause]
- Julie: while jury members had to slowly learn
About this alliance, christian, you found out
As soon as you got home and started watching the show.
- I did.
- Julie: what did you think when you found out
About the cookout?
- The cookout, also known as the greatest alliance
In big brother history.
- I think, shows a bigger message
Which is they all came into this house
With a bigger picture.
They weren't playing for themselves.
They were playing for all of them.
And when you are able to put a bigger purpose
To your game play, this is proof that history can be made.
And they did it.
This is the first time it's been done in seasons.
So, I think best alliance in big brother history,
And I'm so happy I was part of the season
That made this history.

- Julie: brent, brent, brent, I want to turn to you.
Because I want to know what surprised you the most
When you went home and watched big brother?
- Well, there was a lot of things
That surprised me as you can imagine.
But, I will say this, tiffany tippy toes.
I honestly thought you were just braiding hair
And being mother bear to the houseguests.
I had no idea that you actually, like,
Had so much impact and influence on the game
As far as the master plan.
It's absolutely genius. Kudos to you.
I really do have to give all credit.
Because honestly, I did not see it coming at all.
And I did not even, like, get a whiff.
So I really thought you were just there for the laughs.
You know?
- Julie: tiffany, when you got evicted,
You told me you came up with that master plan
In five minutes.
Did you at any point think,
"“This is just not going to work?"”
- No - [laughing]
- Julie: even when things got rocky in the cookout?
Come on.
- I figured if we followed it, then it would work.
There were times when I even almost threw off
My own master plan.
- Julie: that's what I'm saying!
That's what-- I like the honesty!
When you almost did throw off your own master plan,
Why were you almost throwing it off?
- It was the fan in me.
I was fanning out.
But I am glad that I had strong people around me
Who would not allow me to do such things
And we stuck to the plan.
It actually worked.
So, I had a feeling that if we stuck with the plan,
We were only two evictions down.
We had two evictions to go before the master plan
Would be in full effect.
And I felt that it was definitely an attainable goal.
But, thank you to everyone who did not let me derail
From the plan. It was the fan. It was the fan.
- Julie: I need to turn to the lord of the latrine.
- The lord!
- Julie: derek, also known as derek x. Derek x.
When you were in the house, derek,
Did it ever cross your mind
That you were a pawn in this master plan?
- Wait, I was a pawn?
- He was just my partner.
- I was still love struck from week one.
Clearly I wasn't thinking straight.
Travis, love you man. Still got the hoodie.
You wouldn't give me a bracelet, but I stole the hoodie.
- Looks way better on you.
- Did think I was going to be a pawn?
You know what--
- Julie: did you ever suspect you were getting played?
- No. I honestly did not know.
I came into this game watching two seasons.
And I thought-- I thought I had this game locked
In the palm of my hand.
And I was getting played the whole time.
- Julie: expect the unexpected. We always say it.
Year after year. Well, you know, what?
There were a few other secrets this season in the house.
Some were revealed, and some secrets were not.
Let's all take a look.
- Oh! - Uh oh!
- My fellow houseguests don't know
That I'm a master student studying to become a doctor.
Instead, they think I'm a junior in college
Studying fashion, who wants to start her own
Instagram fast fashion brand.
- I'm telling my fellow houseguests
That I am a voice actress. That is a lie.
I am actually a forensic chemist.
- As an artificial intelligence engineer.
I'm used to use math to solve very complex problems.
- I'm a fourth degree black belt.
I'm also a three time world champion
In my specific karate style,
And no one in the house has a clue.
- Y'all are some liars!
- Britini!
- Julie: claire, when you were in the house,
You kept your secret safe that you are an a.i. Engineer.
But which secret is most surprising to you to hear?
- Out of those, definitely finding out about chaddha
Was such a surprise.
I mean, finding out about the cookout
Was the biggest surprise for me, of course.
But finding out that the amazing woman
I had been working with a prodigy
And going to become a doctor and master student.
I knew she had a ton of potential,
But I didn't quite know how much of a super genius she was.
- Julie: there you go. Well done, chaddha.
All right, big d.
- Yes?
- Julie: you, my friend, have a secret
That no one on the jury or the gentleman
You're sitting next to right now knows.
Would you like to reveal your big secret?
- Julie, are you-- wait, what was the question?
[Laughs]
- Julie: uh-huh...
- All right! So, this whole entire season,
Everything I've said about myself, my lifestyle is true.
But, I am--
- The prize. - The prize.
[Laughter]
[Applause]
- But, I am the last son of the heavyweight champion
Of the world, smokin' joe frazier.
[Screaming]
- What! - Are you kidding me?
- That's why I said I love boxing, baby.
That's why I said I'm about that life.
[Applause]
- So angry.
- I did not tell anyone
Because I felt as though if I tell you guys that,
You guys would judge me like they did frankie grande.
And I did not want you guys to think
I come from money because I don't.
- X's shocked face.
- Julie: there you have it.
Everyone stunned. I mean, xavier,
What's going through your mind right now?
- It's just like, you think you know a guy, you know.
You create a duo on day one and--
Get that away from me.
- So, you kept asking about the tattoo, and I said,
"“Oh, yeah, tom frazier."” And I was trying to cover it up.
Alyssa was asking a lot of questions.
I got really nervous. One day.
- Julie: xavier, if you knew that fact,
Would you have chosen him to final two?
- Yeah, absolutely.
- I appreciate that. - %
- Julie: I'm just kissing. Speaking of secrets, xavier.
- Yeah, x, what's up.
- Julie: a lot of speculation, x, about your occupation?
- Oh! I swear--
- Are you ready to tell the truth?
- Stand up, please.
- I guess. I can talk for a little bit.
So, first things I want to say that are fully factual.
I am years old. I am a model.
I do bartend for wedding venues.
I live in milwaukee, wisconsin,
And I'm from kalamazoo, michigan.
The things I kept omitted were basically
The last decade of my life.
I'm a former division two college basketball player,
And I am also a fully licensed attorney.
[Screaming]
- No way!
- Big d, throw a punch! Throw a punch, big d.
- I knew it! I called it! What did I say?
- Julie: you did, big d, you did call it.
And we did put it in one of the broadcasts. So...
- All right. - Julie: yes, yes, yes.
All right, britini, we watched you reveal to everyone
That you're a black belt.
But you also asked for time on tonight's live show.
- Yes.
- Julie: to reveal something about yourself.
You have the floor. - Yes, absolutely--may I stand?
- Julie: yes.
- So, houseguests, when I was months old,
I was diagnosed with autism,
And I have been living with autism every single day.
The reason why I did not disclose that to all of you
In the house was because I wanted to be seen as me.
I wanted you guys to get to know me,
Britini for britini, not as a label or as a diagnosis.
I am so much more than what my disability is.
And I am so proud of the journey
That I have had to be standing on this stage right now.
This is an anomaly that I'm here.
And I just want to say thank you all for accepting me
With open arms.
And I want to say thank you.
- Julie: thank you, britini.
Actually, britini, I should have said, "stay seated,"
Because the lighting is better when you're seated.
- I'm sorry.
- Julie: it was the moment.
Kyland, as a member of the cookout,
You were blindsided last week when you got evicted,
And it got personal.
Your exit was tense, to say the least.
After days in the house,
Being friends with xavier, working together.
Do you regret making it personal?
- Actually, I was asked about this a lot.
And the statement, which I think he just didn't hear--
And that's why I was excited we got to watch
That video clip that just showed--
All I said was an objective statement of,
"Hey, this is the specific type of game."
It was not an insult to him.
It wasn't an insult to his family.
When we watched back the clip, we checked.
And that's the same thing that we said.
I'm happy to discuss it with him further.
So there's offence, of course. I apologize.
But, the statement objectively, like, was not.
- Julie: xavier?
- I'm sorry if he felt that way, of course.
- Julie: would you like to respond?
- I guess I would just say, you brought up my nephew's name.
What was the purpose of doing that in the first place?
My nephew wasn't in the game.
I'm not going to get disrespectful.
I was saying simply this was a game.
I can't remember fully what was said,
But I did hear you reference my nephew's name,
And I don't see the point to that.
- No, when you see it, you'll see what it was.
- Julie: it sounds like the two of you
Have a lot to discuss afterwards.
I have one last question. It's for you, hannah.
As one of the six members of the cookout alliance,
You helped make this night historic.
In minutes we are about to crown
The first african american winner of big brother.
How are you feeling?
- Oh, my gosh.
Just that moment of us shutting the door on day
And realizing that--
[Clears throat]
Big d--i'm sorry, alyssa.
But just that moment of us shutting the door on day
And realizing that one of the six of us
Was going to become the first black winner
Of big brother u.s.
That was one of the happiest moments of my life,
Just I guess being aware and having the epiphany
That I have helped make history.
So, I am so proud to be a part of this season
And so proud to be a part of the cookout alliance.
Love you guys.
- Julie: it was a very big deal. All right,
Everyone here knows we can only crown one winner
Of big brother.
You also know that every year we ask america
To vote for their favorite houseguest.
And that whoever gets that title gets a monetary reward.
Here's what you don't know. This year,
We have doubled that prize money.
- What?
- Julie: instead of $,,
The winner of america's favorite houseguest
Is going home with grand.
- Whoa!
- Julie: and we will make that announcement
After we reveal the winner of big brother.
- That's crazy. - Wow.
- Julie: up next, it is the moment of truth--
Xavier or big d.
Who will be crowned the winner of big brother
And take home the $, grand prize?
Stay with us.
- That's why you got upset with me when I said,
"Oh, you're a lawyer!" I knew it! Oh!
