24x11 - Episode 11

[bunniefuu]

-Previously on 'Big Brother', for weeks the house was

dominated by two alliances,

the Girls Girls.

-Girls Girls.

-And Pose Pack.

Meanwhile, Kyle and Alyssa seem

to be forming something more intimate.

-You're the sweetest girl I've ever met.

I just appreciate you. -Thank you.

-A new twist was unleashed on the game.

-Instead of nominating two individuals for eviction,

the H.O.H. will nominate one set of Besties.

-And seven pairs of Besties were born.

With Turner in power...

-Week , I made H.O.H.

-...he took the opportunity to solidify a final four

with Kyle, Monte, and Joseph.

-The pound that Pooch ran away from.

-The pound, bro.

-And they zeroed in on their first target.

-We have an option.

Holy girls. The head of the dragon.

-I think changing gears and back-dooring Ameerah

is gonna be the new plan.

-Wanting to have the numbers, the Pound recruited Michael,

Brittany, and Taylor.

And a new super alliance was formed.

-I say it's time for the Leftovers to take over.

-At the veto meeting, Turner initiated the "Leftovers' plan.

-I will name a new set of Festie Besties as replacement nominees.

I'm sorry, but Terrance and Ameerah.

-Assuming Pose Pack and the Girls Girls alliances

were behind her, Ameerah felt safe.

-I need six votes to stay this week.

If I can make sure that everyone from Pose Pack alliance

and my Girls Girls alliance votes for me,

I should be good to go.

-But at the live eviction...

-By a vote of -,

Ameerah, you are evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

-...it was a second helping of the Leftovers' blind side.

-Wow. -Leaving Nicole, Daniel,

Alyssa, Jasmine, and Indy completely dazed and confused.

-Oh.

-With his Bestie gone bye-bye,

Terrance had to choose a new squad.

-After each eviction, the surviving Bestie will have

the power to choose which set of Besties they want to join.

-So he made a Bestie Boys trio with Monte and Joseph.

-I guess I'll be joining the boys, Monte and Joseph.

-Now with the house divided, the HouseGuests were tasked

with finding an invitation to power.

-The first eight HouseGuests who find an envelope that

contains a red invitation and claims a spot on the porch

will be moving on.

That means four of you will not compete for Head of Household.

-Tonight, will a Leftover become the new Head of Household,

or will the other side of the house turn the tables?

Plus, see the drama that unfolded as the shocking

blind side sent the house scrambling.

-[ Sobbing ] I feel like an idiot.

-I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to my best friend

in this game.

-And which Besties will hit the chopping block?

Find out right now on "Big Brother."

[ Laughter ]

-Good night and good luck, HouseGuests.

-My week as H.O.H. was a huge success.

I made a new alliance called the Leftovers.

We made a huge move when we blind sided the house and sent

Ameerah home.

Now it's just super crucial that one of the Leftovers wins

this H.O.H. so we can keep the power on our side.

-Move around, move around.

-Oh, my God.

-In this first part of the competition, we have to find

a red invitation amongst hundreds of envelopes.

Once we find a red invitation, we can advance to

the second round of this H.O.H. comp.

But only eight people are able to mutual to the next part of

the H.O.H. competition.

Jasmine and Terrance already have their invitations,

so that only leaves five invitations left.

-Ameerah shouldn't have been evicted.

She is one of my closest friends in this house.

I feel like Pose Pack should have kept Ameerah safe.

So I'm completely blind sided by this decision to evict her.

At this point, it doesn't matter to me because those people

completely betrayed me

and I don't trust a single one of them now.

-Love you. -Love you, Ameerah.

-Love you, Ameerah. -[ Applause ]

-Wow. Wow. Wow, guys. Wow.

-Congrats, brother. -Thank you.

-Can somebody get my bike for me, please?

-So, I appreciate you being honest.

-I have to own up 'cause it's pretty obvious

who the votes were.

But I'm thinking it's best to come clean because

if I lie about it now and it comes out later

that did I vote Ameerah out,

there could be severe consequences.

-You're okay. You're okay.

-I know, but at least you're honest.

Some people are not gonna let us know.

-You're okay. We get it.

I'm such an idiot!

I feel like an idiot.

-You're not an idiot.

You're not an idiot. You're not an idiot.

You're not an idiot.

I'm just laughing at the fact that I had to not even

say goodbye to her.

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to my best friend

in this game.

I could have been given the chance to say

goodbye to her, instead, I'm sitting here crying

to Terrance, giving him my goodbye.

I at least could get a heads up. -For three days.

-I could get a heads up.

-What just happened?

-Now I need to figure out, at this point, who can I trust?

-Finally I get my red invitation to advance to the next round.

I already have one of my Festie Besties,

Terrance, locked in.

Now it's time for Joseph to come through so all three of us

can advance to the next round.

-Come on, hunt, guys, hunt, hunt. Come on.

[ Bell dings ]

-I'm glad I'm moving on to the second round because

honestly, I have no clue what's happening in this house.

People aren't telling me the truth.

No clue where anybody lies anymore.

So I need to play this comp and hopefully win H.O.H.

-Get in! -[ Bell dings ]

-Two more, two more spots. Let's go.

-Come on, come on!

-So I finally find my red invitation.

We have two spots left.

I'm rooting for Taylor, Michael, and Kyle to find an invitation

so we can increase the Leftovers' chance of winning

the second part of the H.O.H. competition.

-Let's go. -Let's go.

-One more spot. One more, let's go.

-That's it.

-So close, Indy.

-Good job, good job, good job.

-I just secured this last spot.

I had to beat out my Festie Bestie, Indy.

I'm sorry, Indy, but I really needed this because I was

just blind sided and I needed to take my power back.

-Sadly, I was the last one who got the red invitation,

and I don't get a chance to move on to the next part

of the competition.

But my Festie Bestie Alyssa is going to play.

-That's tough. My God.

Well, I've got two more people in my alliance sitting on

the sidelines with me.

We got three left over, Brittany, Joseph, Monte,

playing against five people on the outside.

Three against five are not the odds I like to see.

I just need one person in the Leftovers to hold on to

power so we can keep this train running this week.

-Let's go!

-Hey, yo!

-Let's go.

-We finally opened the door to get into this house,

and I'm not going to lie, it's a little bit spooky,

not something that I would typically want to walk into.

I'm focused on this H.O.H. competition and taking this

thing home to make sure the Leftovers are taken care of

this week.

-"Congratulations to the eight of you for finding an invitation

to part of the Head of Household competition.

The power is up for grabs.

But unfortunately, this manor is not what it seems.

Here's how it works.

When you hear the scream...

-[ Screaming ]

...you must race to slide one blood goblet down each of

the three gothic tables, into the scoring zone.

But any goblet that tips over

will receive a zero for that shot.

Once you've taken all three shots, hit your button to finish

your run, but be warned, you only have seconds

to take your shots and lock in your score.

The HouseGuest that locks in the highest total score will be

the new Head of Household.

Who is ready to play The Invitation?

[ Applause ]

Let's get this party started. Alyssa, you're up first.

-My whole game was just turned upside down.

I need to win this H.O.H.

I need to keep myself and my Festie Bestie Indy

safe this week because who knows what's going to happen.

-[ Screams ]

-[ Bell dings ] -Yeah.

-Go, go, go, baby. -Sick!

[ Bell dings ] -There you go.

-Good job! [ Bell dings ]

-Thanks, guys.

-With a score of , Alyssa, you're the current leader.

Nicole, you're up next.

Let's see if you can beat a score of .

-Get 'em.

-Let's go, Nicole!

-I can't wait to see the faces

I am coming for blood.

-Go, Nicole.

-Good. Whoa, yes!

Go!

-Okay. -Good job, Nicole.

-So, with the score of ,

Nicole, you're the current leader.

[ Applause ]

-Joseph, you're up next.

-Let's go! -So, my strategy for this

competition is to try and hit those fives.

I have to make sure I don't go into overdrive and throw these

goblets way over the table.

-[ Screaming ]

[ Bell dings ]

-Nice.

[ Glass shatters ]

-Go, go, go.

-Let's go!

[ Bell dinging ]

-Good job, Joseph.

-Joseph with a score of , you came up short.

Please take a seat.

Daniel, you're up next.

Let's see if you can beat a score of .

-I'm heading into my round, and Nicole's in the lead

with , and that's a pretty solid score.

I know I'm % safe with Nicole, but I don't know who's

going to get a better score down the line

so I'm definitely going to g*n for this one.

-Go, Daniel. -Let's go, Daniel.

-Get 'em. -Let's go, Monte.

Go get 'em.

-So right now, it's just Brittany and I left to compete

in this competition for the Leftovers alliance.

I've really got to make sure I give it the best shot

that I possibly can.

I'm looking to control my destiny and make sure

that the Leftovers are taken care of.

-[ Screaming ]

-There you go.

-Yes!

-Get it, Monte.

-There you go.

-Nice. -Whoa!

-Oh, my God.

-Monte!

[ Bell dings ]

-Monte with a score of , you're the current leader.

[ Applause ]

Let's go!

-I'm super hyped right now.

Took the lead in this game, knocking out Nicole.

I wasn't sure what Nicole would do as H.O.H.

for this upcoming week,

especially with her being blind sided.

I'm just hoping I can maintain this lead so the Leftovers

can get this win.

-That's why we have masks. -Ugh.

-Now Daniel and I are both out,

and we don't have a chance to get H.O.H. this week.

He's the only one I trust % right now.

And I really don't know what this week is going to bring.

-So Monte knocks out Nicole, and I'm going crazy.

The Leftovers are one step closer to seizing power.

Let's freaking go.

-Brittany, you're up next.

-You've got this, Brittany. -Brittany.

[ Screaming ]

-Nice. -Good job, Brit.

-Keep it up, girl. Keep it up.

-Nice! Oh. -Keep going, keep going.

-It's okay. It's okay. -You got one more.

Go for that button, go for that button.

-Good job, Brittany.

[ Applause ]

-Brittany, you fell short with a score of .

Please take a seat.

-I get , okay.

I'm out of this competition for sure,

but Monte's still in, and you know what,

he's part of the Leftovers,

so I'm feeling pretty good about this.

As long as Terrance and Jasmine don't score

more than , we should be good.

-Monte's in the lead with only two HouseGuests left.

Terrance, you're up next.

-[ Applause ] -Come on, Terrance.

[ Screaming ]

-Come on, T. -I've seen many bartenders

slide drinks down the bar.

I know the concept. This should be easy.

-There you go.

Oh.

-Keep it going, keep it going.

-Keep going, keep it going.

-I could slide a drink down, no problem.

-There you go.

-Damn. -[ Glass shatters ]

-Good try, buddy. Good try, good try. Don't worry about it.

Press the button, press the button.

-There you go. -Good job.

[ Bell dings ]

-Terrance with a score of , you just came up short.

Please take a seat.

It all comes down to this. It's Jasmine versus Monte.

-Come on, girl.

-Of course they always save the best for last.

-Scoot it.

-Monte has a score of , so I need to get at least

to make sure I can get this Head of Household.

-So it's down to Jasmine and Monte, and she's the only

person that could stop us from having a Leftover week.

Jasmine is still probably fuming over her best friend Ameerah

going home, so I literally have no idea what she would do.

-[ Screaming ]

-Go, Jas. -Yeah, Jas!

Come on, girl, come on.

-You got this. -Way to fight, way to fight.

Good, good, good, keep it going. Keep it going, keep it going.

One more, you got it, you got it, you got it.

-Come on, keep it going, keep it going.

-Yeah.

-[ Bell dings ] -Good job, baby.

-Jasmine with a score of , you fell short.

Monte, that means you're the next Head of Household.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Appreciate this, brother.

Aaah! Yeah, baby. Let's get it.

It feels crazy to finally get this key.

I'm super hyped right now, and I'm glad I can finally

take one home because every week it's been this close.

But finally got a chance to prove that I'm a competitor

in here, man.

-Appreciate you, man. Appreciate you.

-[ Grunts ] -Oh, my God. Not so hard.

-I am disappointed.

I don't know where my game stands as far as who I can trust

and where I'm going to go in this game.

I was aligned with an alliance who made a decision

behind my back.

I feel on the outs right now, and it's a super crappy feeling.

-Alright, let's get it!

-[ Cheering ] -Yeah!

-Yo, I'm crazy excited to finally get these keys

and become H.O.H. this week.

-Gets to talk to the fam. Yes, sir.

So I really want to keep the momentum going for

the Leftovers.

And I'm really looking forward to getting some targets

out of this house.

-Two points. -I know, I know.

You a badass.

-I was so close to winning H.O.H.

I'm super bummed.

But now it's back into game mode.

I don't know where I stand with Monte,

but now I have some damage control to do.

I need to get to the bottom of why the vote flipped,

so I need to go to those who I think I trust most.

-I would never lie to you. You know that.

I had no clue.

I sensed something was changing. -So did I.

-What's happening?

You really don't know? -I really don't know.

-Michael for sure voted Ameerah out.

-He told me already like when it happened.

-He's in on it. He's in on it. -They're all in on it.

I don't trust Monte.

-I don't either.

-Just make sure that you tell him

you didn't know anything about it.

-I don't know...

-Sending Ameerah home was not part of the plan,

and we feel out of the loop, but I'm here to let Nicole know

I'm % behind her, but basically other than Nicole,

no one matters anyone.

-They would have told me. I would have been fine.

[ Sighs ] It just sucks I didn't get to say goodbye to her.

Like, you made me go to Terrance.

And cry to him.

-What the...just happened?

-No, I can't either.

I knew. I knew. -I feel like such a...idiot.

-What can you do?

We got bamboozled.

-I don't know what is happening It's a game.

I know it's a game, but at the same point,

you make emotional connections and you trust these people,

-Guess who the...is safe this week.

[ Laughing ]

-So Monte and I, we thought that whoever might stay might have to

join a new pair of Festie Besties.

So we already talked to Terrance about this possibility.

...you may not have the option to choose the pair

that you want to like... -Infiltrate.

-You can join them. I'm not lying you to.

-Yeah.

-Damn. -This works out perfectly

because now if Monte, Terrance, and I are he ever nominated,

the Leftovers should have the votes to be able to bring

Monte and I down to evict Terrance.

-She was so serious.

And it was like, boom, boom.

Terrance, you have a decision to make, like now.

And then I was like, "I'm going to go with the boys."

And then I felt like Judas, like, "Who the...is the boys?"

[ Laughter ]

-You can't touch me right now.

I think I gained two inches. I did.

'Cause I'm walking around with a whole different vibe.

And everybody -- It's the whole talk to me nice now.

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughter ]

-It does make you open your eyes a little bit,

but it is what it is.

-They always say like don't trust.

-Don't get too comfortable. -Don't get too comfortable.

And I was like, "No, never me."

And here we are.

-That's what I'm...saying.

-Taylor? Taylor knew about the vote flipping before me?

Somebody -- I'm just, oh, my God.

And I should have known because she's always sneaking and like

trying to tip toe,

Like, girl, we see you.

We see you! You are not slick!

[ Sighs ] Snakes get away better than you do, girl.

I'm just -- I don't know. I don't know.

-I also have to understand that like Jasmine,

this is still a game, and it's being played whether

you're playing it or not.

-Get ready for the party.

-Hey. -I'm sorry.

Can we sit down?

I'm sorry.

-Alyssa and I are really close in this game, but I never felt

like I was a priority and she would always choose

Ameerah over me.

So I didn't clue Alyssa in on this blind side

of Ameerah because I became aware of some information.

-Oh, it's Alyssa.

Alyssa, you're here by yourself?

Do you want to talk to anybody about it?

-No. It's fine.

I'm just like missing home, but, like, it's good.

-You were talking about that earlier.

-I just like wish I was home

with like my one person, you know?

-Uh...

I'm not sure if I just heard what I heard.

I think she said, "I miss my person" or something.

And I know Kyle and Alyssa have the budding of

some show-mance.

-[ Sighs ] It's fine. Don't tell anyone.

-No, of course. -I'm not.

-Kyle doesn't have much experience with relationships

so I just think it's good for him to know any

hiccups going on with her.

-Okay.

-Huh?

Yeah.

Bro, what?!

-Joseph telling me that Alyssa might have a "situation-ship"

outside of the show kind of hits me.

-Dude.

Can't be doing this. Like, get away from me.

I know it's bad for my game, but she's so attractive,

and we get along great and -- oh, my gosh.

I'm just too horny, dude.

[ Klaxon rings ]

Don't air that.

-Why wouldn't you tell me that you were voting this way?

-I didn't know until right before, and I mean...

-I just considered you someone, like, I would always fight for

you and protect you. -I know.

-But that doesn't even...matter.

Now I'm just alone in the game.

-You're not alone. You're not alone.

-I don't have you.

I don't understand why your first thought wasn't,

"Maybe I should say something to Alyssa."

-I did think about it. -Because you just don't care?

-I did think about it, but I avoided it, and I'm sorry.

I should have told you.

You're my best friend in the house.

-Clearly not. -You are.

-Kyle is someone in this game that if he really valued me

and I was his closest friend in this house,

he would have told me or been like, "Hey, something's up."

Like, he gave me no clue.

Finding out that he knew about this and he didn't tell me

breaks my heart.

I have no idea where I'm going to go from here.

Lastly, I so admire the man you keep evolving into.

You continue to make a very proud madre every day."

This is -- Oh, man.

-I've never had close friendships with people who were

athletes or like really buff guys, but getting to know Monte

and seeing him read his letter and show his vulnerable side

really makes me feel closer to him,

Like, Taylor, you start because I know you have thoughts.

-Look, I would prefer to see Indy and Alyssa go up.

-I think Alyssa is more of a threat,

and she's a great social player.

Like, I'm more afraid of that than I am Nicole.

-For me, it would be Alyssa.

-Be Nicole.

It's a very close call. I'm fine with either one.

-Yeah. -I don't think anyone wants

Daniel or Nicole to stay.

-It's all bad energy. -Yeah.

-I can go up with Daniel.

-Would I like to see Nicole out of this house? Yes.

-Mm-hmm. -Just like it's a weight

off my shoulders, but I would prefer to not have

to touch the block again this week.

-I get that. -There are people in this

house who have not touched the block at all.

-Mm-hmm. -And I would prefer that they

at least touch the block before I go up.

So I'm not being a pawn anymore.

-I'm completely fine with that.

I'm going to put on a show tomorrow

and have everybody come in. -Everybody.

-And honestly, I'm just gonna be trying to gather intel,

see who's lying, see who's telling the truth.

-The Leftovers have power this week,

so I have a few options for my targets.

And I'm really trying to making sure I'm aligned with

my alliance on who those targets are

and who is the number one priority.

♪♪

♪♪

-How are you feeling?

-Um, it's not going to be an easy week.

-Yeah. -I can tell.

So I've already spoken with the Leftovers alliance,

but I'm still not sure exactly what to do.

I could go with the easier move of nominating Alyssa and Indy.

However, if I were to put up Nicole and Taylor,

that's a really tough situation because I know Nicole

is my target, but I don't think Taylor would be

entirely comfortable with that.

So I need to talk to the rest of the house to get as much

information as I can to make the best decision moving forward.

-I want to salvage whatever we had even though our trust was

never broken.

I want to be able to work together,

I mean, what's left of whatever, yeah.

-The worst, worst case scenario is now that you're sitting up

against Indy on the block, right?

And I think that you would have

enough votes to stay because you've made so many connections

with everybody, you haven't rubbed anybody the wrong way

whereas -- I love Indy, but, you know, Indy has had her,

you know, abrasive times with people.

Taylor and Nicole, of course, obviously they're

the back door option.

Taylor, I should say, is the back door option.

-Obviously I don't want to be on the block.

You see what happens to everybody.

-I know, yeah. -Everyone, like, week by week,

I feel like has kind of just been -- it's been crazy,

obviously you've seen. but we are playing

"Big Brother," so I do respect any decision you make.

-So, listen here, America.

You know that Taylor isn't really my target this week.

But I'm having this conversation with Alyssa to make sure that

she feels comfortable because I don't want her creating a stir

in the house.

-I appreciate you talking to me. -Yeah, yeah, thank you.

-Monte is talking to me about

being a potential nominee this week.

I'm not thrilled about the idea, but he did also mention

a potential back door and that Indy and myself

were not his targets.

Maybe I will just be a pawn, and Indy and I can make it

through another week.

-I adored that you were the H.O.H.,

but at this time, I'm hating that you are the H.O.H.

-Yeah, and I don't like that this week is so complicated.

Nicole and Taylor, obviously, they're the back door option.

But I'm trying to get a feel for if that's okay.

I know that you have only played in one veto competition, right,

so I think it would be a good opportunity for you to say,

"Look, I can be an asset by winning a veto,"

taking you and Alyssa down,

and the plan goes the way it needs to.

-I understand.

And I think you're going to do whatever you have to do.

-Mm-hmm. -But I would never

do that to you. -Mm-hmm.

-Even if I know that you and Joseph are the strongest

and people are going to talk about that, so even that,

I would never do that to you.

I never thought that he would ever put me up.

He could just put another person and not me.

So it's literally heartbreaking.

-Okay.

-Are you okay? -Mm-hmm.

-What are you thinking?

-I don't know anymore. But it's okay.

It's okay.

-Indy doesn't seem to be taking this idea very well at all.

So if Indy's going to be this upset, maybe this idea won't be

as easy as I had hoped.

-Oh, hey. What's up? -How you doing?

-I'm in survival mode right now.

Monte is the H.O.H. now.

And I need to figure out a way

to approach him in a manner that I can be an advantage

to his game.

-Indy and Alyssa and then you two, right?

In my opinion, Taylor, you've been on the block

how many times by now, right?

So I don't necessarily think that I want to continue

that trend, right?

And I think that...

-Yeah. -...as the most viable option

to put up.

-I respect you, and I respect your game.

But I do know that we're both going to fight.

We're going to fight our own game and then come together.

Going forward, we are a force to be reckoned with,

and you have two people who are --

-More numbers for you. -Okay.

-All right, yo.

-Can't be too careful. -See ya.

-Do you actually have a target for the end of this week,

or are we waiting for veto?

-Here's my thing.

The girl you were just sitting next to is an issue.

She can win competitions. She can win H.O.H. next week.

Alyssa, on the other hand, her social game is almost

just as good but in a different way.

She's a wonderful liar. -Yeah.

-Those are the two biggest liabilities to me in the game.

But I also want to respect you, and I also want to make sure

that you have my trust in that if you don't want something

to happen, if you don't want to go on the block

and be back door or be in the back door scenario

because you know we have your votes, right,

please be transparent about that because I want to make sure that

you have the reassurance from me with my actions that,

look, I want you in this Leftovers alliance just

as much as I want anybody else, and we're making it to

final seven, and I don't want any that have to change.

Two strong Black folks who can win competitions who are now

socially aligned, that's probably

the scariest...that they've ever thought of, right?

-The house is coming for you.

And I know it's really hard to know who you can trust in this

house, but I am throwing away all those three weeks of

what I was wanting to do to be fully aligned with you.

-Yeah. And same here. %.

If you tell me, "Monte, I'll be damned if I go up on the block

in this back door scenario, you should have somebody go up,"

and you feel strongly about that, let me know,

and that's not going to happen because I value your trust

in this game a lot more than I value like getting

the right target out.

-Yeah. -I really want to target

Nicole this week, but Taylor is her Festie Bestie

which would mean that Taylor

would have to sit next to her on the block.

I really don't want Taylor to feel like we're just using her,

and I'm really trying to build trust with her within our

alliance to make sure we have longevity moving forward.

-But after this, when I am still in this house...

-No. You're never a pawn. -No.

I don't want my first moment as part of this alliance to be

me risking myself again.

And I'm sick of trying to prove to people

that I'm a loyal person.

I just want to be part of this alliance as an equal member.

I'm done risking my own safety for everybody else.

-Hey, everybody.

It's time for the nomination ceremony.

♪♪

♪♪

♪♪

-This is the nomination ceremony.

It is my responsibility as Head of Household to nominate

one set of Festie Besties for eviction.

In my nomination block is the key of the Festie Besties

that I am nominating for eviction.

I will turn the key to lock in my nominations, and their faces

will appear on the Memory Wall.

The HouseGuests I have nominated are...

♪♪

♪♪

I have nominated the Besties Indy and Alyssa.

Indy, this is a great opportunity to prove how strong

of a competitor you are.

Alyssa, I think this is a time

for you to flex on your HouseGuests.

I do want to make clear, that you are not my targets

for this week, so I'm really rooting for you guys

to win this power veto.

This nomination ceremony is adjourned.

I nominated the Festie Bestie pair Indy and Alyssa because

they're outside of the Leftovers alliance.

Alyssa and Indy, if you guys are on the block this week,

Alyssa, you are the target.

But if Taylor gives you the green light,

Nicole, you better watch out because the back door is coming.

-Being nominated feels really weird,

especially that Monte is the H.O.H. for this week

and I never thought that he would ever put me up.

But let's go for the veto, and then we'll see.

-It never feels good to be on the block.

Hopefully the back door is wide open for whoever comes next.

And you know what, we'll prove to you we're meant to be in this

game, and we'll take ourselves right off that block.

-I believe if I tell Monte I don't want to touch the block,

I won't go up there.

But Nicole is a really big threat, and I don't want to miss

the opportunity to take our shot when we have it.

It kind of feels like this decision may be up to me

about who we go after this week, and it's a lot of pressure.

But it's also a lot of power that I'm not afraid to wield.

-After watching Ameerah get evicted, I can't help

but have that thought cross my mind, that Taylor and I

will be replacement nominees.

And I now believe I'm the next target to leave

the "Big Brother" house.

-Who will win the power of veto?

And will it be used to save Besties Indy and Alyssa

from the chopping block?
