One at a time, you'll take yourself for a walk
across the dog park on the balance beam course
to get to park benches on the other side.
The course has different balance beams to choose from.
The wider balance beams are easier to navigate.
The thinner beams provide shortcuts
but are more difficult.
But watch out.
If you lose your balance and touch the ground,
you'll have to go back to the start and try again.

I'm like, "Oh, my God."
-I want them to tell me. Hopefully they let me in.
They might be asleep for the night. I don't know.
If y'all have some footage
that y'all would like to release to me,
that would be great.
Dang it!
-What's Jasmine doing?
-I don't know.
-I could totally see that.
-[ Laughs ]
-I mean, I did. I ate the muffin.
Let's be honest.
If the biggest fight of the season arises from this,
I would not be surprised.
[ Chuckles ]
This literally might be a $, muffin,
then so be it.
Perfect. All right.
It is now being digested by yours truly,
and I'm happy about it.
-[ Sighs ] Sorry.

-Should we go get Joseph?
He just went downstairs.
-I wouldn't go grab him.
If he comes up, great.
-Congrats, dude!
Let's go.
-Well, what is everyone's thoughts?
-Threat level number one is Daniel.
-Mm-hmm.
-Daniel goes.
-Damn. -By any means necessary.
-How do we execute that?
-Well, I think the ideal situation is a pawn
and then a back door, right?
I don't want Taylor to go up again.
Lately, Jasmine has been driving me so crazy
that this might just be the perfect week
to go up as a pawn.
At the end of the day, if all else fails and she goes home,
I do not mind.
-There's no group that doesn't involve us right now, right?
-Yeah. -Correct.
So it only takes one of us to use the power of veto.
-Exactly. -So if me, Joe, and Terrance
go up as pawns per se...
-Mm-hmm.
-...first of all, it gives us a pretty strong ability
to have the three of us up as a pair.
I feel like we have good chances of winning.
-Yeah. -So I think the optics of it
could show that if you put us up,
that we're not working together,
because why in the hell would you put up
somebody you're working together with?
-Yeah. That's a really good point.
-Yeah, so that's what we're thinking.
-As long as you two are comfortable with that.
I do think that covers our tracks pretty well.
-Pretty easy, yeah. -It's pretty ideal.
-It's just the easiest thing to put you up.
-It's pretty ideal.
-Put somebody else up.
Put those muscular boys up there.
They've barely even touched the block.
So play your role.
[ Neck cracks ] Oh, that felt good.
-Because apparently I'm a master manipulator.
-Take the crown.
I'm no longer the master manipulator.
-Apparently I am. -Whoa!
Congrats, Monte. Tell me what to do.
[ Laughter ]
-All right, my disciples.
-I'm telling my alliance that the plan is the same.
I want to back door Daniel
and get him out of the house this week.
But I'm not sure if that's true.
I know that Daniel is targeting Monte,
and I think Monte is a huge threat to win the game.
Why would I take out Daniel when that's the best move for Monte?
And I'm not sure if that's the best move for me at this point.
-Soak it up, literally.
-Yeah, I'm going to.

Hello. -Hey.
-Oh, how the tables have turned. [ Laughs ]
I'm going upstairs to the HOH room to speak with Michael
and let him know I'm not a threat to his personal game.
If anything, he can use me as a number
and someone who is actually winning competitions
in this house to help him get further.
You are a k*ller.
You are a monster in this game,
and I respect that as a fan.
And you having four comps,
me having two, we're the two who have won the most competitions.
If the game ends today, not only do you win by stats,
but you have my vote as it is.
In my mind right now, I have nobody.
So I'm willing to do anything to get further in the game.
Me having nothing to lose means I'll do anything it takes now
to just get even one more week down the line.
So if you're aligned with anyone
that you don't want to take a shot at,
and if you could use me to take those shots
at the people that maybe you don't want to
get more blood on the hands, I'm here to play,
and I have no problem showing that.
And, like, basically, do any dirty work you need.
-When someone is an easy target,
it becomes like, "Okay, do I give the house what they want
to not ruffle feathers?"
I think it would help maybe other people's games if you left
a lot more than it would help mine.
-Yeah.
-I am assuming people are probably going to
want me to back door you this week,
is what I'm assuming people are going to
come up here and pitch to me.
So from that perspective,
if a veto doesn't get used...
-It's not your fault, yeah.
-Like, for me, that would probably be best-case scenario.
-Yeah, for sure.
-Daniel is right.
Right now, he is a free agent
and also a huge target.
This is an opportunity
to potentially pull him in and work with him.
Maybe he can take some shots
that I don't feel comfortable taking quite yet.
-I'm down to do whatever it takes moving forward,
because I have no plans. -Mm-hmm.
♪♪
♪♪
-Come in.
-How are you, Mr. HOH?
How are things going? -Good. Good.
Everything is kind of, like, to be expected.
-What do we do?
-I feel like it would cause too many waves to not do Daniel.
-I know you and I had talked about, like,
when and who strikes first,
because we know there's not a reality where
you and I get to the end with this very strong group.
-Yeah.
-Because it's obviously Monte and Joseph.
-If Monte makes it to, like, final six,
I could see him winning.
-Yeah.
-At least one competition per week,
because he is the most well-rounded competitor.
-He really is.
He's got mental and he is very strategic.
-He is going to be the hardest one to beat
in those types of things.
But imagine if you were the one, like, who took out Monte,
if you were the one who took out Joseph?
-Yeah. -Like, making unexpected moves
or things that could upset people,
it's like that can get you respect.
-If all of us could band against Joseph and Monte...
-Honestly, that's best-case scenario for us I think.
-Mm-hmm.
I mean, our heads would be on the platter with everybody else.
In "Big Brother," timing is everything.
So Michael and I are trying to determine
is now the time to make a big move
and throw away Leftovers just a little bit early?
Oh, gosh. I just don't know.
-It would take four votes for a tie.
The Leftovers going to the final seven is great in theory,
but is this the week to make a big move
and draw a new line in the sand?
Or do I go with what my alliance wants and back door Daniel
and don't make too many waves?
-People are going to want to target us.
What do we have to do to ensure that that doesn't happen?
I guess I'm just willing to be messy.

It is my responsibility as the Head of Household

In my nomination block

I will turn the key to lock in my nominations,

♪♪
I have nominated the Besties Terrance, Joseph, and Monte
for eviction this week.
I love and adore all three of you.
So I really don't want you to take this personally at all.
I think that the house views your team of Festie Besties
as one of the strongest in the house,
and a lot of people don't want
to see you in a veto competition,
but I like a challenge.
[ Laughter ]
-I like that.
-This nomination ceremony is adjourned.
♪♪
-So I'm nominated.
I'm very surprised that Mike called us out.
You put three strong people on the block --
well, definitely two.
[ Laughs ]
-After all the drama this week, I'm not nominated.
Seeing two huge threats on the block is huge for my game,
but Michael did mention I'm a possible back door option.
So I'm fired up.
I'll never forget what this house did to Nicole.
So if I get picked for veto, I'm gunning for it.
And I'll do the same exact thing to them.
-Joseph, Terrance, and myself are on the block,
but at the same time, I'm good with it
because we already agreed to this plan
with the Leftovers and with Michael.
I have a lot of confidence that we're going to go out there
and win this POV.
And I definitely have trust in the Leftovers to keep me safe,
even if we do stay up on the block.
I kind of feel like I'm having my muffin and eating it too.
-Nominating Joseph, Monte, and Terrance
is giving me the most options moving forward.
If I do decide to back door Daniel,
I have a strong team competing in the veto to hopefully win it.
However, I have been waiting years to have an HOH reign.
And believe me, America,
I am not going to waste this opportunity.
-Who will conquer the return of OTEV
and win the Power of Veto?
And will it lead to another shocking veto meeting?
Find out, Wednesday night at :, : Central
