24x16 - Episode 16

Post by bunniefuu »

-For three weeks, the festie bestie twist

has changed up the game.

Tonight, it comes to an end.

Welcome to "Big Brother."

-Previously on "Big Brother"...

For weeks, a twist in the game

had the HouseGuests playing with festie besties.

But amongst the besties

was a secret alliance called the Leftovers.

-It's time for the Leftovers to take over!

Ahh!

-At the Head of Household competition...

-Push, Turner, push!

-Ooh! -Ooh!

-...Michael scored a big win for the Leftovers.

-You are the new Head of Household.

[ Cheers and applause ]

And it seemed like outsider Daniel would be the next to go.

-Sorry, Daniel. More than likely,

you're going to be seeing the door this week.

-So Monte and Joseph proposed a back door plan.

-If me, Joe, and Terrance go up as pawns, per se --

-I do think that covers our tracks pretty well.

-It's pretty ideal.

-But with two Leftovers on the block...

-I have nominated the besties Terrance, Joseph, and Monte

for eviction this week.

-...Michael wondered if they should be more than pawns.

-If the guys win the Veto and pull themselves down,

I can back-door Daniel.

But if nominations stay the same,

I have some pretty big targets on the block,

and maybe this is the week to make a move.

-At a roach-ridden competition...

-Go, guys!

-...Michael won his fourth Veto of the season.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

Right now, I'm going to enjoy the power I have

while I figure out what to do with it.

-Terrance was looking to sacrifice his bestie Monte.

-I got to start putting it in their ear

that we have to keep nominations the same

and put a target on Monte's head.

-So he tried to rally to save Daniel.

-Monte.

-But after the other side of the house

pitched Michael the plan...

-I just really see a bigger move.

-Yeah.

-Monte's a beast. -Mm-hmm.

-It's a good time to do other stuff.

-Mm-hmm. -If you were considering like

not using and keeping it the same,

I would support that.

-That's a mad move,

like insane, huge move for this game,

-...Michael knew he was better suited

to stick with the Leftovers.

-How stupid?

Because they're obviously clearly a five.

When all five of them come up and say the exact same thing,

like so clear.

-At the Veto meeting...

-We have decided

to save Terrance, Joseph, and Monte.

-...Daniel checked in to the chopping block hotel.

-Daniel, please take a seat.

Kyle, I'm sorry, you as well.

-Tonight, either Daniel or Kyle

will be the final non-Juror sent packing.

Plus, with the festie bestie twist ending,

who will overcome the legendary BB Wall competition

at this pivotal point in the game?

Find out right now, live on "Big Brother."

-[ Whispering ] This is your HOH.

-[ Chuckles ]

♪♪

-Good evening. I'm Julie Chen Moonves.

Welcome to "Big Brother."

It's Day inside the "Big Brother" house.

And for the past few weeks, the Leftovers alliance

has delivered blindside after blindside,

secretly controlling the house and their festie besties.

But tonight, the game resets when the twist comes to an end

and everyone is back to playing as individuals.

So how will the game change from here,

and who will be the next HouseGuest sent home?

We'll find out live tonight.

But first, it has been a house divided.

But one side has been in the dark...until now.

-This Veto meeting is adjourned.

♪♪

-I decided to use the Power of Veto this week

because I view Daniel as the biggest threat to my game

and the biggest threat outside of our alliance.

♪♪

I recognize that Monte is a threat in this game,

but right now, I think he's on my side,

and I'd rather work with him than against him.

-Oh, come here. No, it's fine.

Obviously this sucks, but I understand

that Michael wants to kind of follow the herd,

and I can't really compete with that.

I hope one day, he'll look back on this moment

as the day that he should have saved me to help him.

But in the words of Dan Gheesling,

how am I gonna spin my way out of this one?

[ Ratchet spinning]

♪♪

-Seeing Daniel go on the block as a replacement nomination

has got to be the second-best feeling

I've ever had in the house.

And the first one will be voting his a*s out this Thursday.

Oh, my God. Bye!

-No packing. -[ Chuckles ]

So my big plan to keep myself, Joseph, and Monte on the block

so that Monte could go home was a epic fail.

But your boy DJ Showtime still got plans.

I'm hoping that I can keep Daniel in play

and move Kyle right out of this house.

-Got one more week with me, bro.

-[ Chuckles ] -Congrats.

♪♪

-Dude, I need you to know I will not talk -- on you.

-Yeah, I wanted to say the same thing.

-I will not throw you under the bus.

So just know, if I'm in a corner talking, it's not about you.

-No. Yeah. -Cause there's --

I have nothing, so... -We're good, dude.

-Last week, Nicole and I figured out

there's an alliance upstairs in the HOH every single day

that we call the sorry six.

-They're all upstairs in the HOH.

Michael and Brittany, Turner and Taylor,

and Monte and Joseph.

-At the time, I didn't think Kyle was a part of this alliance

simply because he was always downstairs

hanging out with Alyssa,

and he was fully onboard to keep Nicole that week.

And then all of a sudden, he goes back on his word

just like he did with the Ameerah vote.

So it clicks in my head immediately.

This guy is definitely working with,

if not inside, this alliance.

Long story short,

I don't owe anything to Kyle, and I'm definitely going

to fight for my life and campaign against him.

-Don't know if I want to, like, punch someone or cry, but --

-Aw. [ Chuckles ]

♪♪

-How you feeling, being up on that little block?

-I feel okay.

-That's good.

At the minimum, the Leftovers should have enough votes...

♪♪

...to send Daniel packing this week.

But hopefully with the way he's rubbed people the wrong way,

the whole house will unanimously vote him out.

-Hi, Dr. Will? I need a special power.

-What should I do this week, just campaign like normal?

-You definitely got to campaign to me,

or else who knows?

Might vote you out this house.

[ Both laugh ]

♪♪

♪♪

-Michael pulling Monte off the block makes me nervous.

Why wouldn't you want to take out a big competitor

when you have the perfect shot?

That's making me feel like there's an alliance

or it's something deeper going on.

Now this has my wheels turning.

I don't know.

♪♪

-So, Michael got some hard cider for his HOH.

-[ Chuckles ]

-And I know that Indy hid some in a drawer of the fridge.

This is Michael's. [ Chuckles ]

I feel like I could just have a couple sips to keep my cool.

No one's going to be able to tell.

Ooh! Florida.

Mm-hmm. Let me --

-Alyssa. Can I give you my advice?

Stop doing this whatever you're doing.

-She will showcase what she's on.

-I can't -- -You got to get lower.

You got to get lower. -Stop. Please. No.

For America, stop. -Get down on your knees.

-I can get low. -No.

-"Cry Baby," just for you guys.

-[ Laughs ] -What the -- Oh, no.

-You haven't done that in like three weeks!

-And you're on that dirty-a*s floor!

-See? this is so fun.

Michael's cider wanted me to drink it.

-Hey, baby, did you get Michael's drink?

That was the last -- The last cider was Michael's, though.

-I wish that I have.

-Joseph, did you get the last cider that was here?

-No, that was the same one. -That was Michael's.

Guys, someone got Michael's drink,

was his last drink.

-It wasn't anybody in here.

-Maybe it was Joseph.

-How many ciders did you have?

-One, baby, I told you.

-[ Laughs ]

-Why'd you pull up on him like that?

-She's accusing me of drink-- -Because, no, they're saying

that it was you. -No, I'd never --

I would not take another cider from Michael without asking.

-And it was none of us.

Alyssa. -Is it the muffin man?

-It's a crime wave going on in this house.

Someone ate half off Jasmine's muffin,

and then someone grabbed Michael's cider.

-Did you have a cider that was Michael's?

-I had one that Michael gave me. -But it wasn't the drawer?

-No. I asked him. He handed it to me personally.

-When Alyssa has a drink,

she becomes a completely different person.

So if Alyssa is the cider-hider, she's not hiding it that well.

Don't worry, Alyssa, your secret is safe

with the muffin m*rder*r.

-Is this the new Muffin Gate?

We went from Muffin Gate to Cider Gate!

♪♪

-[ Belches ]

Now that I have your attention,

this is where I'm at.

I wanted to play with Alyssa.

But then she went all AWOL.

That whole side did on Monte.

And now there's, like, no trust over there,

so I'm, like, back to square one.

I'm riding with the Leftovers.

♪♪

Alyssa, I'm sorry, but that was just a very sloppy move

to just go all-in on Monte without any, like, strategy.

So, I heard from my alliance that there was this sloppy plan

to leave the noms the same and try and get Monte out.

And unfortunately, Alyssa was part of that plan.

So this puts me in a bad spot, 'cause I was hoping

to help her get as far as she can in this game.

But now the Leftovers know exactly where Alyssa stands,

and it's just too hard to protect her at this point.

I don't know what options I have to play with Alyssa.

It's just too much stress

to try and think about risking everything.

♪♪

But, yeah, what should I do?

Yeah, a week?

♪♪

-I really, really like Kyle.

But since Kyle's on the block,

he wants to just kind of slow things down this week.

And it feels like our relationship

is like a big question mark most of the time.

Stop and go, stop and go.

It's exhausting, and it's super disappointing to hear.

It's so frustrating to be, like, so involved one minute

and then so spaced out the next.

Like, it makes me feel super confused.

And if this was outside of the "Big Brother" house,

I wouldn't be riding this roller coaster.

Bye. -I'm out.

-See you never. -I'll see you on Thursday.

♪♪

♪♪

-There's always a way out,

but you have to be playing with good players.

Not even good players --

People who are here to play.

Indy, if she were to flip,

I will work hard to get Joseph

and Alyssa.

People are so afraid.

They're so afraid in this house.

Who's going to go after Monte?

Kyle isn't.

Everyone thinks I'm a bigger target.

Keep me in the house. I'll shield you.

Let them come after me week after week

while you guys slip on by.

And when I win, I'll take out big players,

Monte and Michael first.

If I was in here with actual players, change would happen.

Speak your mind.

Use your vote.

When you're sitting on the block,

it's really easy to sit there, roll over, and die.

But more than ever,

I really want to shake things up in this house.

I'm not going to stop now.

I'm definitely going to fight for my life.

So sick of these pushover sheep.

♪♪

-Up next, the numbers may be stacked against him,

but Daniel will not go down without a fight.

Then, either Daniel or Kyle will see their game come to an end.

And later, with everyone playing for themselves,

the Head of Household crown is more important than ever.

Get ready for an epic battle of endurance

as "Big Brother's" legendary wall competition begins.

Stay with us.

♪♪

-Welcome back to "Big Brother."

In order to stay in the house,

Daniel knows he will not only need to break a large alliance

but also break some hearts.

♪♪

-I know.

[ Whispering ] As in me, you,

Joseph, Alyssa,

Indy.

-[ Whispering ] We have a three-step process.

Step number one, we have to get Alyssa onboard.

If she's not onboard, there's no point.

-I don't think she's going to vote Kyle out.

-He didn't tell her anything about the Ameerah vote.

♪♪

She was pissed about that.

And when Monte wanted me to keep the nominations the same --

This is % true --

when he said "Keep it the same.

We're voting Alyssa out," I told Kyle to his face,

and he just stared at the floor.

He's trying to keep the noms the same now.

-Really? But why?

-Like, he's good.

I need five votes to stay this week.

Definitely have Jasmine and Terrance.

And between the two, I think we can get Indy onboard.

-[ Laughs ]

-Of course, that means I need two more votes,

and it's going to be a little harder than it seems.

Joseph may be connected to the other side of the house,

but I think he's smart enough to hear me out

and hopefully understand that there are much bigger targets

in this house that he needs help getting out.

That leaves me with Alyssa, which is going to be tough.

Hopefully, I can convince Alyssa

that Kyle's not good for her long-term game.

-If I do this for you,

if it goes well, you have to go after

the targets that need to be gone after.

You need -- -Yeah, Michael, Monte.

♪♪

Both have to go. -Yes.

-My game really hinges on these votes.

If I can get these votes, there'll be another Dan

on the list of "Big Brother" legends.

-If you're not ready to make big moves,

you shouldn't be playing "Big Brother."

I'm just saying. Let's do this.

♪♪

-So, I'm coming to you as a friend

to give you some information I think you should know.

-Mm-hmm. -So, this is me being honest.

I've got a bunch of information

that could possibly make Alyssa question Kyle,

but I can't come at this like a pitch.

She's going to sense that.

I need to approach her like the loving friend that I am.

There's a big alliance -- Monte, Joseph, Kyle,

Taylor, Turner, Brittany, Michael.

Last week, they were all upstairs

when Kyle was down here,

and I believe that's part of their tactic

to keep you distracted

and, that way, win the Veto.

Kyle's first reaction was,

"So, do we keep the nominations the same?"

And I was like, "What? We're obviously saving Alyssa."

-So what if you didn't use it? Do you think he would have?

-No.

Here's the biggest alarm for me that you need to be aware of.

Moments before voting Nicole out,

I go in that room.

He comes in very vulnerable. I go...

They want to split up you guys' showmance,

and maybe you're aware of that,

because showmances don't make it far.

So you're letting them do the dirty work.

-[ Sighs ]

-And he literally just sat there and stared at the ground

for like five seconds.

It should have been immediate reaction.

That was a huge red flag for me,

and that's what solidified that he's with the six,

which made it seven.

-Is this true that Kyle wouldn't want to save me?

Is our relationship even real in this house?

Am I just part of his game?

Does he really, like, see me in a romantic way,

or am I just someone to pass the time with

and to play the other side of the house?

There are so many thoughts going on in my head right now,

and I'm just so confused.

-He's with them and if you're not in it,

then they're definitely after you.

-So if you're okay with me going home, am I okay

with you going home? I just don't even know anymore.

I appreciate you telling me this.

-Yeah. -I really do.

It's really telling, for sure.

♪♪

-I think -- And it's not against any of you three...

♪♪

...he made the worst move of the season,

was taking you guys down.

I'm aware that Joseph is in the alliance I've been seeing,

but I have a really good relationship with him.

And, if anyone on that side of the house,

Joseph is smart enough to listen to logic and reason.

I'm alone. I'm not a threat.

Even if people are bothered by me, I'm not a threat.

Michael, if you guys don't get him out,

he has five competitions. That's one competition a week.

You guys are crazy if you don't open your eyes to that.

But here's the thing -- other thing, showmance.

♪♪

That means one vote equals two every time.

Every single time, they will always agree on.

Alliance or not, you got the best player of "Big Brother"

for -- in a long time, Michael.

You got a showmance here.

-We need five.

-So, do these guys not think I'm with that side of the house?

Either these guys think I'm oblivious,

or they think I can be swayed.

Either way, that could be good for me.

-Pay attention to how close Taylor and Monte are.

♪♪

-While I would never save Daniel,

it is tempting to vote with these guys.

As long as Alyssa votes to keep Kyle,

there's enough votes to save him.

Plus, it would mask my alliance and our numbers.

Meanwhile, it'll look like I tried working with them,

and if they win HOH, I should be good.

♪♪

-When we return, Daniel or Kyle, who's headed home?

The live vote and eviction next.

[ Both laugh ] -Okay.

-He doesn't need it, and we have a little joke about it, so...

-That was quite a speech you gave.

You called them clowns. You called them boring.

You went after Michael.

Did you think you could actually get any votes to stay,

and if not, what were you trying to accomplish?

-As soon as Nicole left the house, I knew I was done.

And then as the week went forward, I realized

I only had Jasmine and Terrance officially.

So it was really hard to get more votes, which was five.

So with this speech, I just wanted to let them know,

I'm aware of, like, what's going on.

And hopefully the house, who seems to be

the people I had to teach how to play the game,

hopefully they become aware that Michael's sweeping the game.

He's the best player this show has seen in a while.

And I do respect him as a player,

but I had to say what I had to say, you know?

-Well, let's talk about last week,

when your ride-or-die Nicole was evicted by a vote of -,

you being the one vote hoping that she would stay.

And after she was evicted, you seemed very emotional,

and you went after people that you were not aligned with,

like Michael and Monte,

but you also went after allies like Alyssa.

Why?

-I don't think I went after Alyssa.

But I was definitely emotionally charged and bothered

that someone who said we had her vote to keep Nicole

didn't commit to her word.

But I don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

I can't wait to check it out.

But yeah, for Michael, you know, he's a huge threat.

He's against me.

Monte's a huge threat, and he definitely lied

to me and Jasmine, said the opposite stories.

And I wanted to call him out in front of people

so that people could see that he doesn't have

a back story or a ploy.

And hopefully, they understood.

I don't think they did.

-Sitting here with me now,

it sounds like you don't regret it. Do you?

-No. No. I love this game.

And I knew when my number one went home,

it wasn't going to ultimately work out.

And I just wanted to play it out as much as I could

until I absolutely walked out this door,

'cause it's an honor to be here.

-Your number one was Nicole.

And when she got evicted last week,

that was the week you insisted on using the Power of Veto,

which landed her on the chopping block.

Do you take any responsibility for her eviction?

-I do not, because I was not

the Head of Household who put her up.

But we talked about about it.

We went through every scenario possible.

And if we didn't have Indy and Alyssa as numbers,

there's no way we could have moved forward

as a bigger alliance and take over the house.

So we knew it was a risk, and it happened.

And when it happened, I figured I'm the next one out.

-For the past few weeks, you have been very vocal

about wanting Taylor out of the house.

Why? Was it personal, or was it strategic?

-It was both. Personal because I love Paloma like a sister,

so when I heard her kind of lie about her,

it really affected me emotionally.

I'm a very loyal, loving friend.

So that affected me there. And then it enters game

because Paloma was a number for me.

I considered her a number two, even after eight days, you know?

So it was definitely both down the line.

And I'm glad that we've had time to talk, me and Taylor,

throughout the rest of the season, so...

-Are you square with her now? -I believe so. I hope so.

And if we're not, I can't wait to talk to her after.

-Okay. You know, this past week,

you seemed to put things together,

figuring out that there are -- There's quite an alliance.

-Oh, yeah. -Well, I'm here to confirm

that, yes, the seven people you suspected

are indeed working together. -Cool.

-And they call themselves the Leftovers.

-[ Laughs ] I love that. -Now,

they started to form

just after you lashed out at Taylor in the main bathroom.

-Alright. -And they did so because

they felt like the low men and women on the totem pole,

and they also wanted to unite against what they saw

as the unfair treatment of Taylor in the house.

-Okay.

-Does hearing any of this surprise you?

What is your reaction to hearing that?

-No, I respect that. It makes me happy

that people can come together after moments like that.

As a fan, I think it's great.

I can't wait to watch it back and support them.

I mean, I love this show.

And if I've done any wrongdoings,

I can't wait to right them.

-Well, in the event that you were the one evicted tonight...

-Oh, no. -...your house mates taped

some goodbye messages.

Are you ready for them? -Yeah, let's do it.

-Right here.

-Daniel, if I close one eye,

your head is right between these pieces of bread,

and that means I just made an idiot sandwich.

Daniel, you nominated me, you berated my girl Taylor,

and you used the Veto that backdoored your best friend.

I'd say good game, but I'd be lying.

Bye, Daniel. -Daniel, I think you are

very passionate, loyal... -Love her.

-...and I respect that on so many levels,

and I think that's why we got along so well.

Outside this house, I hope we're gonna be friends forever!

Love you, and have a great summer.

-Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, I've been playing you, bro,

this entire time.

I formulated the Leftover alliance with seven people.

-So good. -You think there's a bunch

of sheep in the house, but the sheep is you, bro.

Peace. [ Imitates sheep bleating ]

-Hey, Daniel, we went to w*r together, brother.

We really tried to make it happen.

You're definitely one of the closest people

I had in the house.

It's your boy forever, and I mean that.

Always remember that. -Oh, I love him.

-Daniel, dude, I love you, man,

I know you can be a very emotional and protective person,

which can be a double-edged sword,

but I think your intentions always come from a good place.

I'm really gonna miss our jokes and phrases,

but you'll always be remembered.

-Aww. -Daniel, I've never been happier

to see somebody walk their sorry a*s out that door.

Oh, and, um, I guess your wish will come true.

You don't have to speak to me until finale night.

-[ Laughs ] That's so good.

-Is she joking? What are your final thoughts?

-I think it's both. There's some truth in that,

and I respect it. Like, all of it's real,

and I will speak to her on finale, absolutely, yeah.

-You waited years to get on this show.

-Oh, years of auditioning.

-Was it everything you hoped for?

-It was a lot. [ Both laugh ]

And I just wish I would have won. That's the only difference.

But I did everything I wanted to do.

I got first HOH, and I made a final two on Day ,

and that's all I ever wanted, so it's been a dream.

-Thank you, Daniel. -Of course. Thank you.

-See my extended interview with Daniel

on "Big Brother's" official Instagram page,

@bigbrothercbs, tomorrow.

Daniel, stay right there. I have some unfinished business

with your former house mates. -Alright.

-HouseGuest-- to please gather in the living room right now.

-Okey-dokey. -Bestie, let's

see what's happening.

What do you got for us, Julie?

-Probably. We got room.

-Alright.

Settle in, HouseGuests.

-I'm coming! -[ Chuckles ]

-Oh, Jasmine.

-Jasmine.

-Don't injure yourself, Jasmine.

I will wait for you.

-You know how to make an entrance, Jazz.

-Oh, thanks, Julie!

Okay. Okay. Hi.

-Hello again, HouseGuests.

-Hello. -Now,

usually at this point in the evening,

I ask you to sit next to your besties, right?

Well, there is no longer a need

to be sitting next to your besties.

For three weeks, the festie bestie twist

has shaken up the game.

Well, that is now officially over.

And you are all back to playing the game as individuals.

So congratulations on surviving the festie bestie twist.

Also, congratulations are in order

because you have all now at least made it to Jury.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-[ Screaming ] -Let's go.

-That's right.

Everyone left in the game at this point,

everyone at this point will either sit on the Jury

or face the Jury come finale night.

-Wow. -Thank you, Julie.

-Now, earlier this week, you took on OTEV.

Tonight, another "Big Brother" classic awaits.

So I need everyone to head outside.

It is time to begin the battle for Head of Household.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Do it! -Let's go, let's go!

-Alright. -[ Screams ]

-Do it.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

-We talked about this.

We talked about this. -Oh, jury.

Who will rise to power? Stay with us.

-Welcome back to "Big Brother."

It is now time for the Head of Household competition to begin.

Free from the threat of eviction,

the HOH must put two HouseGuests on the chopping block.

Let's head to the backyard and get things started.

HouseGuests.

-Hey, Julie. -What's up, Julie?

-Hey, Julie! -What up, Julie?

-The power is up for grabs.

Michael, as outgoing HOH this week,

you are not eligible to compete tonight.

Life as we know it

has always been filled with conspiracy theories.

And for this competition, we are going back

to one of the first conspiracy theories.

That's why you are standing on a flat earth.

And that's why this competition is called Conspiracy Fest.

And the goal is simple --

Hang on to the flat earth for dear life.

If you fall off, you are eliminated.

The last HouseGuest hanging on

will be the new Head of Household.

Does everyone understand?

-Yep. -Yep.

-Excellent. Then hold on tight,

because this competition starts now.

-What? -No, this is cra--

-Oh. -Ooh, okay.

-Welcome back to "Big Brother."

We will rejoin the ongoing HOH competition in just moments.

To see who ultimately wins Head of Household,

tune in Sunday at :/: Central.

Who will become the most powerful player in the game,

and who will he or she nominate for eviction?

Find out Sunday.

But if you can't wait till then,

jump right over to Paramount+ following this broadcast.

There, you can watch this battle play out live.

Go to paramountplus.com/bblf to get the live feeds and more.

And next Thursday, in a special two-hour event,

for the first time ever, the game will completely change

as the house splits into two groups.

These two groups will have no interaction.

And in a "Big Brother" first, two completely separate games

of "Big Brother" will play out simultaneously, all week long,

all of it culminating with a double eviction like no other.

For now, let's return to the backyard

and check in on the HouseGuests.

Hello again, HouseGuests.
