Post by bunniefuu »

-Previously on "Big Brother"...

The seven-person Leftovers alliance

has been dominating the game.

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

[ Laughter ]

-And after taking out some of their biggest threats --

-Pooch, Ameerah, Nicole,

you are evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

-Daniel was next on their hit list.

-When you work years to be here,

it sucks to see your game crumble.

-With Michael getting a double dose of power...

-You are the new Head of Household.

[ All cheering ]

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

-...he officially checked Daniel

into the backdoor hotel.

-Daniel, please take a seat. Kyle, I'm sorry, you as well.

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.

-Looking for votes anywhere he could find them...

-[ Whispering ] Step number one, we have to get Alyssa on board.

If she is not on board there's no point.

-...the impersonator tried to make Alyssa

have a suspicious mind about her showmance, Kyle.

-We win the veto, Kyle's first reaction was,

"So do we keep the nominations the same?"

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

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

Is our relationship even real in this house?

-Then he tried to recruit Leftover Joseph.

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

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

-We need five.

-It is tempting to vote with these guys.

It would mask my alliance and our numbers.

-But at the live eviction...

-By a vote of -, Daniel,

you are evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

-...the HouseGuests happily said, "See ya, Las Vegas."

For three weeks,

the HouseGuests played with a bestie,

but with the twist coming to an end...

-Well, you are all back

to playing the game as individuals.

-...it was do or die for the left.

Tonight, who will conquer Conspiracy Fest

and emerge with power?

Will the Leftovers continue to dominate,

or will someone new turn the house upside down?

Plus, a new showmance begins to blossom.

-He runs around with his shirt off all the time.

How can I not notice other things about him?

-All this right now on "Big Brother"!

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

you shouldn't be playing "Big Brother."

[ Machinery whirring ]

-What?

-Good night and good luck, HouseGuests.

-Good night, Julie. -Good night, Julie.

♪♪

-Daniel has left the building.

I think my HoH was a complete success.

I was expecting Daniel to go out with a bang.

Daniel telling the whole house that Monte and I

are working together, half the house already knows that,

and the other half assumes it anyways.

-[ Chuckling ] Oh, my God.

[ Machinery whirring ]

-Daniel was just evicted.

And now we need to make sure

that another Leftover wins this week...

♪♪

...so that we can make sure that either Terrance,

Indy, Alyssa, or Jasmine do not win HoH,

and we can ensure that the Leftovers make it to the end.

♪♪

-My head is spinning.

My arch nemesis in the entire house just walked out the door.

Jury is here and the festie bestie twist is over.

All I have to do is step up to the plate and take this comp.

I'm sick of losing. I want a win under my belt.

This is a moment that everything changes.

-It felt like I hit a wall today. Ha.

I'm definitely sad to see Daniel go.

That's my buddy.

I'm definitely hoping I can take this HoH

so I can do a big move like Daniel wanted.

♪♪

-I'm trying my best to stay up on that wall,

but, honey, my arms are feeling like fresh noodles in a pot.

So I'm going to fall because this is not my comp.

[ Buzzer sounds ] -And Jasmine's down.

-Good job, Jas.

-You okay?

-Yeah.

-Jasmine fell off so fast, all I can imagine, in her voice,

is her saying, "I fell off quicker

than a mudslide on a hot Mississippi day."

"I fell off faster than a jackrabbit

running from a turtle in Mississippi."

"I fell off quicker than the best rack of ribs

you had ever seen falls off the bone."

That was something she would definitely say.

-[ Whispering ] I guess this wasn't my comp.

[ Slide whistle blows ]

[ Crash! Boing! ] -Oh, my...

-Don't trust the government.

Aliens are here, man.

They live among us.

Oh, no, memory goo.

That's how they erase your memories, man.

♪♪

♪♪

-Damn it, I liked these pants.

-Dude, it's so warm. Ugh.

This green goo is everywhere.

It's in my nose, it's in my mouth.

I'm tasting it, I'm snorting it.

This goop does not help with the grip,

with staying on this wall, or really with anything.

♪♪

[ Machinery whirring ]

♪♪

-Good job, Brittany. -Good job, Brittany.

Stay focused.

-Embrace it. You got it.

-Oop. All right.

Encouragement doesn't work the same way for everybody.

-Good job, everyone. -Good job, good job.

-I feel like I'm in a good spot with the Leftovers,

but it's getting harder to balance my showmance

with my true alliance.

-While campaigning to stay, Daniel kind of filled me in

on some things about Kyle.

So I went to Kyle the day before Daniel's eviction

to get some clarity on things that Daniel said,

and, honestly, just find out the truth.

-Yeah. -That's what you said?

-No. Wait, what?

-Alyssa and I have a great thing going,

and it terrifies me something that Daniel said

could ruin everything.

No, I promise.

I don't know what he's saying about, like,

I was taking you down no matter what.

I don't know why Daniel is trying to shake things up.

That's just a low blow.

So I'm trying to smooth things over with Alyssa

so that she doesn't distrust me moving forward.

I basically was like, "Listen,

I have very strong feelings for Alyssa.

I think it's obvious.

But I never want that to be, like,

an annoyance in the house or, like..."

-So vote her out.

-So my target for next week...

[ Both laugh ]

-So, Kyle is telling me that basically

everything Daniel said isn't true.

Let's face it. I can't stay mad at Kyle.

I am so happy that our moment of doubt is over with.

-I'm playing the game. I'm playing "Big Brother."

-You're doing a great job. -Am I, though?

-Mm-hmm.

[ Machinery whirring ]

-Watch out for the fake news. It's everywhere, man.

♪♪

♪♪

-Oh!

-These newspapers are sliding down my back,

pushing me forward.

They say the truth hurts,

but getting hit with fake news hurts way more.

Newspapers?

I think I remember hearing about newspapers in history class.

[ Machinery whirs ]

-Oh, my Lord.

♪♪

-Good job. Hang in there.

-Hang in there, hang in there. -You got this.

-Stay focused.

-Staying focused when you have fake news hitting you

in the face isn't necessarily the easiest thing.

But I am still trying to will my muscles to just hold on

and glue themselves to that wall.

♪♪

[ Buzzer sounds ]

-Good job, Brittany. -Ooh, and Brittany bit the dust.

-Doesn't pay to have a butt in this game.

♪♪

-I feel like I'm in a really good spot

in the house right now.

The Leftovers are going strong.

And actually the night before Daniel's eviction,

the other side of the house approached me

in order to form a new alliance.

-[ Whispering ] Okay, let's talk about us.

-[ Whispering ] Oh, my God, I've got an idea for a name.

[ Fly buzzing, smack ]

-[ Whispering ] The Five Swatters?

-[ Whispering ] The Five Swatters.

That's the name.

-The last few weeks, I've had a lot of friends go home,

and honestly, now I need to pay attention to my game

to get me to the end.

So it's time to make an alliance

that's going to help me make that happen.

[ Laughter ]

-Oh, yes, I've got into the Five Swatters.

[ Sighs ] And, like, not voluntarily.

[ Laughs ] Like, I think it's been forced on me.

My allegiance will always be to the Leftovers.

And I definitely plan to fill them in on what's going on.

[ Whispering ] Those three, for sure, are, like, locked in.

-[ Whispering ] Did they name you guys?

-Yeah. -What is it?

[ Machinery whirring ]

-Hold tight, everyone. You got this.

-I'm cramping up.

When I say it is as difficult as it looks on TV,

add two times to that.

[ Buzzer sounds ]

-Good job, Terrance.

-Looks like Terrance fell into a storm of fake news.

-Ah, I really don't know how to feel at this point

because it's like, man,

my game is in someone else's hand yet again.

I want to get some sense of control of this game.

-Seven HouseGuests remain.

Taylor, Joseph, Kyle, Monte, Turner, Alyssa, and Indy.

-The moon landing wasn't real, man.

But you know what is? The Loch Ness Monster.

Take cover, Nessie looks pissed.

-Aw, now I can't see.

My hands keep slipping off and my forearms are cramping.

-Hold on. Stay strong.

-So the wall starts to tilt even further

than it's been tilting before.

And at this point, the alien goo is underneath my shoes.

I feel my feet slipping.

I don't know how much longer I can last.

-Keep holding. You got this.

-Keep holding. Keep holding.

[ Buzzer sounds ] -Monte goes down.

-My foot slips off, I lose all of my grip,

and now I got to take the "L" on this one.

-I've been training for these

"Big Brother" iconic competitions my entire life.

Seriously, when I was a child,

we would line up against the fence

and my mom would spray us with the h*--

[ Slide whistle blows, buzzer sounds ]

-And Alyssa is down, too.

-Good job, Alyssa.

-So I just fell.

The only thing I can do now is cheer for the Five Swatters

and my showmance, Kyle.

-Hold on, y'all.

-There are five people left --

Taylor, Joseph, Kyle, Turner, and Indy.

-It's down to Indy versus the Leftovers on the wall,

and I'm nervous.

Indy winning this comp is worst-case scenario,

and she's small, she's strong,

and this really could be her comp to win.

♪♪

-Five remain -- Taylor, Joseph, Kyle, Turner, and Indy.

-The stakes cannot be higher here.

I'm not gonna let go of this wall for anything.

I've been used as a pawn.

I've been socially isolated in this house.

Everybody thinks that I am a threat,

and this is finally a time where I can step up

and finally show everybody nothing's gonna stop me.

-Uh-oh.

[ Machinery whirring ]

-All right, Leftovers.

There is one more person from the other side

of the house on the wall, and that is Indy.

There's paint dripping everywhere.

We're a mess, all of our arms are shaking,

but we just need one more person to fall.

-There's Sasquatch hair absolutely everywhere.

It's all up in my mouth. I'm breathing it in.

It's getting in my nose.

And I think it goes without saying,

I don't need any more hair.

-Oh, sh**t.

We'd just keep rolling in circles, man.

Taylor, Joseph, Kyle, and Turner.

-All Leftovers left on the wall.

This is a dream scenario.

But Taylor's already been HoH,

and I'm kind of sick of all of the testosterone

that's been going up to the HoH room.

So this is all mine, baby. I'm not letting go.

I don't need to be fighting for my life this hard.

So getting a second HoH would be great,

but I'm pretty sure keeping my forearms intact

would be a hell of a lot better.

-Hold it!

-Good job, Taylor.

[ Buzzer sounds ]

-And Turner's down.

The final three are Taylor, Joseph, and Kyle.

-Good job, Turner.

-Are you guys feminists? -Kind of.

-Wouldn't you like to see a female HoH?

-I have to try! -Me too!

-[ Spits ] There's hair in my mouth.

-Eww!

-Oh, gosh. All right.

-So the Five Swatters have fell off the wall,

and I know they're all sitting down over there rooting for me.

-Joseph is in Five Swatters. So is Kyle.

So I'm hoping one of them take it home.

-I'm really hoping Joseph and Kyle, my Five Swatters,

can take this HoH.

-There's no chance that I let these Five Swatters

have any chance of success this week.

a battle between Taylor and Kyle.

-Fight for it! Fight for it, Taylor!

Fight for it, Kyle.

-Kyle, I don't touch you. -I know, I know.

So even though we're all in the Leftovers alliance,

each of us is playing a different game.

I don't know where Taylor stands with Alyssa,

so I have to win this comp to make sure Alyssa is safe.

I'm gonna go as long as I can, though.

You too?

-I can't quit.

Kyle and I have talked. We're even in the same alliance.

but I don't want to give them a free pass

for them to be at the end, to be like,

wow, look at Joseph and Kyle, what great players,

how they played the middle.

-[ Whispering ] Yeah.

-Joseph and Kyle are playing both sides of this house.

They're in the Leftovers alliance,

but they're also in an alliance

with Alyssa, Indy, and Jasmine.

So it's not imperative for their games to win a competition,

which is frustrating when the rest of the Leftovers

have been winning competitions and getting blood on our hands

to help benefit their game.

You don't get to be in an alliance

and not protect the alliance.

-Oh, my God.

I'm just freaking nervous.

I don't know how I feel about Taylor winning HoH.

I don't want to say that I'm in trouble, but in the past,

I have tried to get Taylor out of this house.

Hey, I won. Ha ha.

in the last few weeks, but I don't know.

-Let me chill with the gloating.

-I know, I know.

This is crazy.

-Things haven't been easy between me and Jasmine.

She used me as a pawn when she was the first female HoH.

But I came into this game to make sure

that I wouldn't be targeting another Black woman.

So Jasmine is not on my radar.

♪♪

♪♪

[ Door opens ]

♪♪

-Jasmine...

-I think Jasmine would be the perfect target

for the Leftovers this week

because she really has no loyalty to pretty much anyone.

She's very wishy-washy.

Plus, I think if Jasmine is out of here,

those other girls wouldn't even have a cane to walk with.

-[ Whispering ] I would tell her that.

-I'm not sure exactly what Taylor wants to do,

but I have talked to her over the past couple of weeks

about how she does not feel comfortable

nominating another Black woman.

-I can't send Jasmine home.

-I don't know if it's okay if I ask...

-Black. I don't want to send a Black woman home.

-Okay. -Yeah, I know what you mean.

[ Whispering ] She literally doesn't want to

put up a Black woman.

-If that's the case, I respect that.

-I respect that, too.

I can't argue with Taylor's reasoning,

even though I don't think Jasmine would do the same.

For now, maybe the Leftovers need to pivot,

and then Jasmine can get the boot later.

The biggest concern to me is who can potentially win HoHs.

After that competition, now Indy has a arisen

in my radar of potential people who can win HoH.

Indy has never had a connection with Taylor.

So getting that blood on her hands

I don't think would hurt her game.

There's only four people left outside of the Leftovers,

and Indy is definitely stronger than Jasmine,

Terrance, and Alyssa at the moment.

-Honestly, I think they're gonna be like..."Terrance..."

-Talking to Taylor to see where we stand.

I really wanted Daniel to stay last week,

in her crosshairs this week.

Just to see, G, all the... that you've been through

This is what it's for. -Yeah.

-I don't know how you feel or --

-There are a lot of people in this house that are

expendable to me. -I got you.

that the majority of the house would want to see out this week?

-Everyone was, like, gung h* initially on that...

but then just accepted Daniel.

You see what I'm saying? -Mm-hmm.

Terrance is trying to buddy up with me

and tell me everything I need to hear.

But he can talk until he's blue in the face.

None of it's gonna work.

trying to flip the house to keep Nicole and get me out the door.

♪♪

-Come in. That's right, that's right.

Come on.

My goal this week is to get Terrance into the jury house.

I just have to figure out how to do it.

I told Joseph and Kyle on the wall that if they fell,

that they were safe this week.

And then when I was festie besties with Alyssa and Indy

I told them that I was not putting them up.

-[ Whispering ] If the festie bestie thing ends,

I won't put you on the block.

I won't put you on the block.

And I hope that you would not do that either.

-[ Whispering ] You guys are not touching the block if this is done.

Obviously, you're the target.

-Mm-hmm.

-I want to use Monte as a fake backdoor target.

And I kind of promised the girls

on the other side of the house some safety.

So I have to have a guy

that is not Michael, Joseph,

or you or Kyle.

-Yeah.

-And that leaves you and Terrance...

[ Boing! ]

...nominated.

And you as a "back door."

-Wow.

-That's news.

-That is for sure news.

-Taylor, I have no idea where you got this plan,

but it is the worst "Big Brother" plan

I've literally ever heard.

She's trying to protect her promises to the same side

of the house that has been dogging on her for over a month.

I was the one who put my neck out on the line just for you,

and now you want to put me up on the block next to Terrance.

It just makes no sense.

Quick question -- What would you do

if Terrance won the veto, which he won't, but if he did?

♪♪

-Okay. Maybe that doesn't work.

But that's okay.

I can just fill the block with some of my strong allies

to play for the veto.

The other side of the house thinks that Monte is my target,

so why not let them think that?

So maybe it would be you two up.

Turner, Monte, nominees. Done.

-But then what if someone else won and they wouldn't use it?

-That's the challenging part, yeah.

Girl, what the hell are we talking about right now?

Daniel painted a huge target on me,

and my name was in everybody's mouth last week.

So at this point, putting me on the block

is not the smartest thing if your plans are to keep me.

-I'm not enjoying this.

Okay, fine. That doesn't work either.

So this HoH thing, not as easy as it looks.

I thought it would be a breeze. I thought I'd eat my snacks.

I still want to get Terrance out, but this is gonna be

a lot more complicated than I thought.

There was so much more room for error

when we had festie besties.

-It's a different game now, for sure.

Definitely a different game.

-I also need to do laundry.

-Me too.

-I really want to, um...

-Do your sheets? -Yeah.

[ Insects chirping ]

-Do you mind if I just grab that?

-I mean, it's your stuff.

-Thank you.

-Yeah.

-I really don't think there's a better feeling

after a long day, you know, playing "Big Brother,"

being exhausted,

to just to get into some fresh, clean sheets.

I'm so excited to finally end the day and go to bed.

-[ Snoring ]

-But I was scared to my core of woken up Indy

because Indy is the crankiest roommate I've ever had.

-Joseph, please change your batteries.

-Keep calling Joseph so he learn how to come to bed early.

-Why you need to touch me? -I missed you.

-[ Whispering ] I do not want to go in that room.

Wish me luck.

-This is probably the hardest comp I've ever had.

Fix your bed without waking up Indy.

-[ Laughs ]

-I was trying to be quiet. -Oh, clearly.

♪♪

-It's too risky.

After a long, terrified game of "fix your bed,"

I throw my covers over...

This is awful. It feels like I wet the bed.

And I'm just sitting there in my moist covers...

...and I was not willing to bother Indy any more,

so I just slept in the wet sheets.

-Hey.

-I just want to check in. -What's going on?

-I just want to check in with you,

if I was the same.

-All right. Here's what I'm going to do.

I think I'll put up Indy and Terrance

as my nominees as convince them it's a back door for Monte.

Only problem is, I kind of promised Indy

that she wouldn't touch the block this week,

so I've got some backtracking to do.

I'm just being completely honest.

Like, I've done so much to try to prove to all the girls

that I'm with you guys, I'm with you guys,

like being festie besties,

like being a pawn that second week.

and for me it's kind of like, when is it enough, you know?

So, yeah, like the thought has crossed my mind

of, like, having one of the girls play in veto

and just, like, protecting them.

And then...

Any of the four girls, honestly.

♪♪

-Okay. -Yeah.

-That is exactly what I was scared to happen.

-I think the house will be like, "Oh, that makes sense."

Like, "They aren't close. There has been conflict.

It makes sense for Taylor to put Indy up."

Whatever, I don't think people would bat an eye at that.

-Me and Taylor, we don't have like a really good relationship,

but at the same time she promised that

she would not put me or Alyssa on the block at all.

So it kind of surprised me,

but at the same time I never trusted her %.

I may do the same to her in the future.

Okay. I was there two weeks ago.

-I know. -And then...

It's not a good feeling, you know?

-I'm aware. [ Laughs ] Yeah, I know.

-And then... Yeah, I thought we were good.

-For me, it's like, regardless who goes up or plays,

I'm still protecting you.

Like, you are a priority of protecting.

-Yeah, but then it's like, it can put me on the risk.

I wouldn't do that to you. I wouldn't use you as a pawn.

-But I do mean it. It is love.

I'm sorry that I've had to, like,

kind of waver a little bit on what we talked about, but...

Target's the same. -Yeah.

-Okay. -Okay.

It's okay. -I'll chat with you later.

-Okay.

-That did not go how I wanted it to go.

Indy clearly is not happy about the idea of being a pawn.

Now I think I need to go talk to the Leftovers

for some solid advice.

What are we thinking, fam?

-Look, I totally respect Taylor's reasoning

for not wanting to put Jasmine on the block this week.

It just sucks seeing her protect someone

that doesn't have the same respect for her.

Taylor is not seeing the same thing as I am.

There is nothing more in this world that I would want

rather to see Jasmine go to the jury house this week.

I'm thinking of the best fight.

-Jasmine. -Jasmine.

-You're right. Exactly. So it's easier.

-Very clear about...

-And you just complain about it all the time.

-I know.

-There are a million reasons to evict her.

-I feel like, imagine Jasmine's up

and Indy is up,

both trying to campaign for their best friend, Alyssa,

because she's tight as hell with them both.

I don't know. That seems like that would be a big fight.

-I have a reason to go after all of them. I do.

-What it comes down to is,

what's going to make us get to the final seven?

At this point, this is when blood gets on the hands.

-What do I do?

I've been working really hard to build up my relationships

in this house, and I'm so nervous that this decision

is going to make all that work come crashing down.

I really don't want to put up a Black woman,

and now I'm just feeling like any decision I make

is going to upset someone.

Being HoH is proving to be a lot harder than I thought.

-Ultimately, Taylor, like, you won the HoH.

You're sticking your neck out.

I respect what you want to do this week, so...

-Thank you.

This is the nomination ceremony.

It is my responsibility as the Head of Household

to nominate two HouseGuests for eviction.

I am nominating for eviction.

I will turn two keys to lock in my nominations,

and their faces will appear on the memory wall.

♪♪

I've nominated you, Indy, and you, Terrance.

Indy, it's no surprise.

We have the most distant relationship in the house,

but I really thing it's because we're more similar

than we are different.

Terrance, I want to see you playing in that veto,

so can show the rest of this house

that they keep counting you out.

This is the "Big Brother" house,

and there's always a larger target,

but I always make sure that when I sh**t, I don't miss.

This nomination ceremony is adjourned.

-Jasmine is not on my radar because coming into this game,

I said that I would not nominate a Black woman.

I can't do it, no matter how contentious our relationship is.

That's just not the game I'm here to play.

But if it's up to me,

the jury house is going to get its resident deejay soon.

-I feel very deflated.

I thought that me and Taylor had a better relationship.

I'm not going to give up.

I'm going to fight for this veto,

and we're gonna get up out this jam.

-It's not a good feeling. Nobody wants to be nominated.

But at the same time, I'm ready to fight

and I'm ready to win the veto

and pull myself out of the block.

And if I'm HoH next week, Taylor may be my pawn, as well.

-So Taylor did imply that she is going

for a bigger physical threat

and looked me directly in the eyes

to put on a nice show for everybody in the room.

But if they think that I'm gonna be

the backdoor target this week,

Indy and Jasmine, you're dead wrong.

You better watch out because we're coming for you.

-Who will win the Power of Veto,

and will it be used to save Indy or DJ Showtime?

Plus, what new punishments will be unleashed on the house?
