[bunniefuu]

-Monte and Taylor are definitely

headed to finale night.

But will it be Brittany or Turner

who will claim the third spot to battle them

for the $, grand prize?

We'll find out live tonight.

Welcome to "Big Brother"!

-Previously on "Big Brother"...

After Alyssa hit the bricks --

-Alyssa, you are evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

-...there were four Leftovers left over.

-The only people left in the house are leftovers.

-Oh, my gosh, finally!

-And Taylor quickly secured her spot in the final three...

-Congratulations, Taylor, you are the new Head of Household.

-...with a Monte showmance heating up.

-It's the slow burn you wanted, America.

-Taylor left Brittany and Turner out in the cold.

-I've nominated you, Brittany, and you, Turner.

-At the final and most crucial Power of Veto competition,

Monte was math and furious.

-Let's go! -Oh, wow.

-Securing that veto means that I'm going to be in the final

three, and I get to decide who comes with me.

-Taylor wanted Turner taken out.

-Yeah.

-Leaving Monte with a monumental decision.

-I have to do what's best for my game.

And that is a huge decision that could impact my path to K.

-Tonight, Monte will cast a sole vote to evict

either Brittany or Turner from the game.

Who will make it to finale night?

-Plus, is there trouble in HoH Room paradise?

-When it comes to staying the night here and stuff,

I don't feel comfortable doing that.

-Yeah.

-And the legendary Cookout alliance will reunite live to

discuss the final three.

All this right now on "Big Brother."

-Mm-hmm. -Mm-hmm.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Good evening. I'm Julie Chen Moonves.

Welcome to "Big Brother."

It's day inside the "Big Brother" house,

and two of the final three have already been determined.

Taylor punched her ticket to finale night

by winning a dramatic tie-breaking

Head of Household competition.

And when Monte claimed the last second veto win,

he secured his spot in the final three.

That leaves Brittany and Turner in the fight for

their "Big Brother" lives.

Tonight, one heads to jury, the other to finale night.

And the power lies solely in the hands of Monte.

What will he do just days from the finish line?

It all unfolds live tonight.

But first, she holds the power of HoH.

He holds the power to evict.

But is the honeymoon over for "Big Brother's"

latest power couple?

♪♪

-Where's my water bottle?

-On the sink. -Oh, yeah.

Oh, I see it here.

-Night, fam. -Goodnight, brother.

-With Taylor winning HoH and myself winning veto,

the two of us have cemented our spot in final three.

As the only vote to evict this week, I get to decide whether

I'm taking Turner or Brittany to final three.

-Oh.

-I don't think he's going out that quickly.

Yeah, he's coming right back.

-No, he's going back to the bathroom.

-So where are you supposed to be?

-Oh, I don't know. -[ Laughs ]

-Yo, my boy, are you in there? [ Knocks on door ]

Oh, look at that.

I share a bedroom with Monte.

So when he doesn't come to that bedroom every night,

there's only so many places he could be.

Clearly, he is sleeping upstairs with Taylor.

I'm fairly sure that Monte will bring me to the final three.

But as for final two, if you're boyfriend and girlfriend,

it's obviously you're taking each other.

That's like a blood agreement final two.

-Oh, no.

♪♪

-Ten days, boys. -Let's go.

Is today the ten-day mark? -.

-Being in the "Big Brother" house for the last three months

starts to make me realize how much I miss my goddaughter,

who just recently turned year old.

-I can't believe I have witnessed a human be alive

for a year.

Like, I am conscious --

-Taylor makes a comment that I find pretty rude

and sort of insensitive.

Yes, I know I haven't been around

for the last three months,

but none of us have been around our families.

So in order to just take myself away from the situation,

I'll throw on some headphones and sort of vibe out.

-I'm just going to listen to my Beyoncé.

-Oh, your Beyoncé? Okay.

-Hello. -Hey.

-Brittany has always been one of my closest friends this

entire time in the house.

So I just want Brittany to feel

as comfortable in my HoH room

as Monte and Turner clearly feel.

So, I want to make it clear. It ain't Monte's space.

It ain't Turner's space. It's my space.

-[ Snoring ]

-Give me this. Damn, not both, not both.

I didn't mean to take the sunglasses. Sorry.

-Holy moly. -That is a way to wake up.

-My bad. Go back to sleep.

Disrespectful, all up in my room, taking my music,

falling asleep.

Get your own bed.

-Yo, what is happening right now?

It just feels unnecessary and insensitive.

♪♪

-I'm going make some coffee. You want any?

-Yeah. That'd be fire.

I would have to be blind to not realize that Taylor and Monte's

relationship has been progressing

further than just being friends.

So, I want to know from Monte

how serious this relationship is,

on a scale of you're taking me to final two or you're not.

-Do you mind if I ask you a question real quick?

-Oh, yeah. Go right ahead. I know what you're going to ask.

-Then okay. I don't even need to ask it. What's good?

-Yeah, like, I knew that, you know, the attraction was there.

-Mm-hmm. -And we acted upon it.

-Let's go. That's fun.

I'm not asking because have I any problem with it.

I think that's dope. -It's been

definitely great. -Just out of curiosity,

do you think that's going to continue after the show?

-You know, stuff like today, it's not something that,

like, I would be sure of right now.

-I don't understand why you had to go to that extent.

Because you just wanted to be on a power trip of some sort.

I have a very short tolerance for...like that.

You can only imagine how conflicted I am as a single dude

dealing with this.

-No, that's funny that we read that the same.

-I'm glad I'm not the one going crazy here.

-Hell yeah. You got to love some late game

domestic strife.

♪♪

-Hey.

-How are you doing? -How you doing?

-I'm cool. I'm chilling.

I'm not going to lie. I did want to talk to you about

something that happened earlier, between the two of us.

I think it was when me, you, and Turner were in here.

And I brought up my goddaughter,

and this is the first time that I've been able to see somebody

go from birth to being -year-old.

-And I was like, "Well, no you haven't"?

-Yeah. -God, I feel awful.

I did not mean to say, like,

no, you haven't been present for this person,

no, you don't love or care for this person.

I was just saying like, "Oh, no, it's really been nine months

because of where we are."

We are cut off from the world. I'm sorry.

-You see how that can be a very obvious sort of

condescending statement? -Yeah.

-And then shortly thereafter,

in the middle of my nap, you take my headphones off.

It was like some sort of power trip.

I was pretty much done with the day with you, to be honest.

Like, I'm just trying to understand what is your intent.

Can you explain that to me? -Yeah, yeah.

So, Brittany came up, and we were talking.

Maybe this it is a subconscious wish to not want to seem

like I am the lovey-dovey girl

who doesn't think of the game

and throws everything away

and is just nothing but marshmallows to you

all the time.

Yeah, he's on my bed. Like, he's listening to my music.

-So, it was a joke for Brittany? -For Brittany. Yeah. Yeah.

That you clearly were not even conscious of.

And truly, I am so sorry that the tone was condescending,

disrespectful.

-Like, that was just rude.

When people may have said that you rub them a wrong way...

It has come to my attention, though,

that you've been rubbing the house the wrong way

a little bit.

-I think it came down to this cold sort of person

that you were showing.

That stuff today made me feel like,

"Okay, this is not a person I want to spend more time with,"

because I have a very low tolerance for disrespect.

It's such a turnoff sometimes.

-I get it.

-If you want to know just very directly when it comes to

staying the night here and stuff, like,

I don't feel comfortable doing that.

-Yeah. Exactly.

-I get it.

I do not think it's fair that he is taking this persona

that was pushed on me my first few weeks in this house

with very weighted language

that he knows really hurts.

We are back to the Taylor is an insensitive b*tch narrative.

[ Sighs ]

I got more important things to think about than my relationship

with a guy.

As a matter of fact, I've got , more important things

to think about.

Look, vulnerable Taylor has been around for a few weeks,

but now I might have to tag in cold Taylor

to make sure I get that bag home.

b*tch of the season. That is me.

♪♪

-Coming up, Michael's arrival shocks the jury.

Then it's the live veto meeting and live eviction,

and all eyes are on Monte.

What will he do?

Plus, last summer, the Cookout alliance made history.

Tonight, they join me live to break down this season

and the final three. Stay with us.

-Welcome back to "Big Brother."

Three new HouseGuests have joined the jury.

One was definitely unexpected,

but another brings unexpected news.

♪♪

-Cheers to us for surviving another week in the jury house.

All right. So who do you think is coming?

-Everyone thinks more than one person.

-Ooh. -Oh.

-Well, well, well. -You think Terrance --

-Ain't nothing like a Shadytown party, baby!

-It's a Dyre Fest reunion! -It's a Dyre Fest reunion!

-J. I miss you. -Oh, no, Terrance!

-Kyle, guess what? Julie like it like my drinks.

She's making it a double. So somebody is following me.

-Oh, my God. -Surprise!

-Oh, my God! -No way!

-Who kicked you out? Michael!

I can't believe this.

I really thought Michael was going to be at the end,

and now that he's out of the game,

it's changed the trajectory of the game.

I don't know. I'm, like, speechless.

And that's hard for me.

-There is a lot to see. So let's take a look.

♪♪

[ Laughter ]

-My leg, like, gives out.

-Did you see the look on my face?

-That is insane. -Insane.

-I've nominated you, Terrance,

and you, Alyssa, this week.

-[ Laughs ]

-I'm sorry.

-I was heated. -Did you have any hunch that

the week prior, like, you might have been

the back door target? -Oh, absolutely.

-Turner did not have a good poker face.

-I agree with you on that, Michael,

because I know he was the one that messed

with my muffin.

-Oh, my God. -BB Comics.

-No way. BB Comics. This is awesome!

-Dang it. -Dang it.

-You guys couldn't evict me after this?

-Michael, your score was :.

You have won the Golden Power of Veto.

-I know, I can't, man.

-I'm staring down the g*n barrel at that point.

I don't have anybody who is going to lock in with me.

-By a vote of -,

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

-Y'all know I got to do a Daniel.

[ Laughter ]

-Walk clean out. -Congratulations, Turner.

-Oh, my gosh, Turner!

-Wait, this is like back-to-back, ain't it?

-What is this, his third now? -Third HoH, yeah.

-Turner, he really is a good competitor,

and it takes me a lot to give the boy

a compliment, to be real,

but Turner's, like, running it right now.

It's crazy. [ Chuckles ]

-I'm so sorry. I love everybody in this game,

but it's going to be Brittany and Alyssa.

-I think everybody plays veto

so there's no back door anymore.

If I won veto, he didn't want me coming after him.

-Oh, this would have been so hard.

-It was very difficult.

-Congratulations, Monte. -Oh, wow.

So he barely got it.

-Oh, Joe! Let's go, Monte.

-At this point, I knew I was going home.

I knew he was going use it, and that him and Turner

were going get me out of the game.

-Even though it was Turner's HoH,

I believe we have to give this win to Monte

by winning the veto and controlling the veto.

-Turner, you are safe with me if you don't do this.

-[ Laughs ] -I'm not above begging.

-Look at that face, Michael. -Yeah. Oh, yeah.

-That's the face we needed to see all season.

-By a vote of -,

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

-Everyone, please stay seated.

I have one thing I would like to say.

[ Laughter ]

-Oh, my God!

That was -- Give me --

-Oh, my God! -Oh, my gosh.

-Not even the bag or anything.

-I'm impressed.

-I definitely think Monte and Turner

were at the center of the plan to get me out.

But I learned in my goodbye message

that Turner wasn't really taking a lot of credit for my eviction,

which I think is a big missed opportunity on his part.

-Michael, I hope you know I had no idea

that that veto was going to be used.

-I want to vote for someone who I feel like played a strong game

and can also own it.

-Well, another week in the jury house.

-All right, guys. So who do you think is coming?

-A weaker move would be Alyssa.

And a strong move would be a Monte coming in.

-Heard you guys were talking smack, huh?

-Alyssa! It is a Dyre Fest reunion!

-It is a Dyre Fest reunion. -It is.

-Wow. -Bittersweet for sure.

-I had mixed emotions seeing Alyssa.

Obviously, I have strong feelings for her.

But at the same time, the fact that she got evicted

and is now in the jury house kind of sucks

because I wanted to see her progress

even farther in the game.

-All right, guys, it was a wild week.

Let me show you what happened.

-If you want to survive, search the house.

Once you've barricaded all six doors,

find and throw the alarm switch.

-Oh, I'm so jealous.

-Michael, it was literally an escape room.

Like, you would have been out of there in five minutes.

-It all comes down to this.

-Whoa. -Literally nine seconds.

Nine seconds. I was shocked.

-Monte is in the best position,

if he keeps playing an amazing social game.

I think he's made some very strategic moves

at the end of the game.

-I've nominated you, Brittany, and you Alyssa.

-Yeah, so we all figured that Brittany would go up.

He's locked in with Turner.

He is locked in with Taylor.

-Yes! Yes!

-Oh, Brittany.

-I have decided to use the Power of Veto on myself.

-Taylor.

♪♪

-Why Taylor over Turner?

-I came to find out after the vote

that Turner and Monte made a gentlemen's deal

that if Turner was not the replacement nominee,

he would vote me out of the house.

So that was his only option in putting Taylor up.

I am pretty pissed off at Turner at the moment.

Knowing that I had his back no matter what,

I would have always been a vote for him,

I would have taken him to the end.

We made a promise to each other.

"I will never put you up on the block

and I will never vote you out."

If he was in those final two seats,

I would have a lot to think about.

-HouseGuests, the votes are in, and we have a tie.

-I knew Monty would never keep me in a million years.

Taylor slept in Monte's HoH bed for, like, three days,

and not any way that was --

-Wait. Say that one more time, Lyss. Say that one more time.

-Where did she sleep?

-I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

-Oh, you know. -You know. You know.

-Oh you know.

-I mean, like, that's, I guess, their business, or I don't know.

-Something ain't wrong, but something ain't right.

-Something definitely ain't right. [ Laughs ]

-So, that's my week, guys. That's how I got here.

-Let's see the house. It's amazing.

We're going to have so much fun.

-Alright.

-One more week. One more week.

-Up next, news from home

gives the final four some last-minute inspiration.

-Then it's the final veto meeting followed by

the live vote and eviction,

and all the power lies in Monte's hands.

Stay with us.

Just gives me that extra a*mo that

I need to finish out the job and win this game.

-Watching the video from my dad

is really driving home the weight of this decision.

And before I left Dad, I made sure to make it clear

that I'm going to win.

And that's exactly what I plan on doing.

-After seeing that video,

I was just reenergized to enter back into this game

and fight for my life.

-I just needed to hear that.

Thank you.

-Yeah.

♪♪

-Now we're to the very end, and there's only two choices.

You got a big decision to make here.

Okay. Here we go.

This could quite possibly be one of the last pitches

I make to try to stay in this house.

I can't give up hope.

-If you're going to bring Turner,

you guys have very similar games.

Turner got Michael and then you get Turner.

If you were to do that, all those things that we wonder,

"What that Turner, or was that Monte?",

are all Monte, you know?

Turner and I are somewhat comparable

when it comes to how many mental comps we've won.

And I think given that I haven't really been able to perform

in physical comps all that much, and knowing how smart he is,

I feel that we really truly are comparable

in the mental respect of the game,

and that our only difference here is the physicality.

Whereas if I were still here,

I think your probability of winning that final

HoH shoots up exponentially.

-Nah, everything you said is true, you know?

And I'm typically a very objective person.

Like, I manage risks.

And I can sit here and be very confident in myself.

But what's the biggest risk?

-You think about K. -Mm-hmm.

-And the decisions that would lead into that.

-Once upon a time, I was loyal to Michael.

But once his resume started to stack up way

too much against mine, I had to take him out.

And thinking about Turner,

his resume is getting pretty strong too.

And taking him out could look really good on mine.

Going into finale, Brittany would be easier

to beat in a physical competition

and would be easiest to beat in a jury vote.

Isn't that what this is all about?

Winning "Big Brother"?

I mean, this is a $, decision I got to make.

If this is what it is that's laid out,

then maybe I just need to marinate

on those thoughts a little bit more.

-When we return, it's the live veto meeting and live eviction.

Whose game is coming to an end so close to finale night?

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Welcome back to "Big Brother."

It's now time for the final veto meeting of the season,

and tonight's live eviction.

Let's head to the living room,

where Monte holds all the power tonight.

Hello, HouseGuests.

-Hi, Julie. -Hey, Julie.

-Well, it's now time for the live veto meeting

and the eviction.

Monte, as the veto holder, you are safe,

and you cannot use it

because there is no one left to nominate.

So, the power to evict rests solely in your hands.

Brittany, Turner, finale night is just a few days away.

But unfortunately, only one of you will make it there.

So, I'd like to give each of you one final chance to address

Monte before he casts the sole vote to evict.

Brittany, you're first.

-Okay.

First of all, I just want to send love to Steven,

my family and friends and my amazing my hypnotherapy clients

with Brittany Hoopes Hypnosis. I love you all.

Monte, you have the opportunity right here, right now

to make a game changing move by evicting Turner.

I know you think you can make that move

if you win the final HoH,

but you drastically increase

your possibility for competing against me.

We've competed in comps together.

You have outperformed me in of those ,

and only out of for Turner.

You don't win any extra money by making it harder on yourself,

and I don't want to have to tell you that I told you so.

So keep me in the house and bet on yourself.

-Thank you, Brittany.

Turner?

-Let's go. All right. A couple shout outs.

One to The Rug Shack in Bridgewater, Massachusetts,

to my girlfriend Megan,

the Belmontes, Whiteheads, and my mom and dad.

Mad respect to Brittany,

but genuinely, I would be bamboozled if you think

Brittany is better for your game than I am.

I have shown loyalty to the both of you.

Brittany, on the other hand, I don't think has.

Peace and love to everyone.

Love you, Julie. Love you both. Love you, Brittany. Bam.

[ Laughter ]

-Thank you, Turner. Thank you, both.

All right, Monte, it is now up to you

to cast the sole vote to evict.

You now have the power to send one nominee to jury

and send the other to finale night.

Just a reminder,

when Monte casts his vote, the evicted HouseGuest

will have just a few minutes to say goodbye,

gather his or her belongings, and walk out the front door.

Monte, please stand at the front of the living room,

face the two nominees, and cast your vote to evict.

-Thanks, Julie.

Love and respect the both of you.

I appreciate the fact that we've made it this far,

and I couldn't have been more thankful

to have this experience with the people in this room right now.

In order to make the best decision for my game,

I have to think about next week.

And for me, that decision is to vote,

voting to evict Brittany.

I'm sorry, Brittany.

-It's official.

Brittany, you have been evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

-Hug him first. Hug him first. I'm not ready.

-Okay. -Okay.

-Go.

-Yeah. Okay.

-Like we said.

-Wow. -Oh, man.

-Breakfast burrito club. -Wow.

-Oof. -There it is.

-Oh, man.

-Who would have thought?

-Brittany, you saw the writing on the wall this week.

-Yeah.

-But I have to hand it to you, you fought hard.

-Oh, Julie, I tried.

-Ultimately, why do you think you couldn't convince Monte

to save you and not Turner?

-You know, I mean, honestly, if I'm being honest,

it makes most sense for his game.

-It does? -He's closer were Turner.

I know I would have crushed him at those comps at the end.

I feel confident on that.

So, he's right.

His arguments were logical.

You know, it just wasn't in my favor.

-What about playing for jury votes between you and Monte?

-Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

It's really difficult to say.

We don't know what state we're leaving jury in.

And of course, I'll be there too, so...

-Last week, you voted to evict Taylor,

and you blamed it on Turner.

It was a big move that didn't pan out.

-Yep. -Any regrets doing that?

-No, I don't, because it's like,

okay, they were already targeting me.

So, what, you're going to target me more?

Seriously.

You can't really go any further than that. So, yeah, no.

I just needed to shake things up

a little bit, see if anything would work.

-We watched you and Michael form a final two on day two.

-Yeah.

-And you played this game side by side throughout.

Then on double eviction night,

he called you out during his final plea.

-Yeah. -Now you're going to be

seeing him shortly when you join the jury.

How are you feeling about Michael right now?

-You know, there's are a lot of questions

that I have for him.

We've always played this game.

Anything I said that was against him, he was aware of.

That was part of our strategy,

is need to go get information and bring it back to him.

I guess I never anticipated that he would use that against me,

considering that he knew

that that was how we were going to get our way to the end.

I have a lot of questions.

So, I would love to be friends.

I just need to understand more what happened.

-What was it about him that drew you to him

in the beginning? -I don't know.

I guess he was a friend.

Here I was wearing this backstage shirt

and he was on the block.

Like, we weren't supposed to be friends.

We weren't supposed to work together.

We didn't have anything to offer one another, yet we were.

And so, I guess that just really stuck with me,

and, you know, I'm hoping,

I really hope that we can have a beautiful friendship after this.

I just want to understand more what happened.

-Final thought, Brittany?

-This has just been a life-long dream of mine, Julie.

Like, this is just so amazing,

and I'm just so thankful for the opportunity.

-Well, it's not over, because you have work

to do as member of the jury.

And you and the rest will be back here on Sunday night

to vote for a winner of "Big Brother."

-Yeah, very soon. [ Chuckles ]

-Thank you, Brittany. -Thank you, Julie.

-Tune in to "CBS Mornings" tomorrow to get an exclusive

first look at my extended interview with Brittany,

and see our entire conversation

on "Big Brother's" official Instagram page.

-All right. You're headed off to jury,

and I need to talk to your former housemates.

HouseGuests, please gather in the living room right now.

-What you got for us, Julie?

-Thank you for gathering, HouseGuests.

Hello.

Or should I really say, hello, final three.

-Let's go.

-How are you all feeling right now?

-Unreal. -On top of the world.

-Like , bucks. -[ Chuckles ] Easy now.

Stay in your lane for now, Turner.

Well, a big congratulations to all of you,

because one of you sitting there will win "Big Brother"

and the $, grand prize.

And we will find out who that is Sunday.

The live season finale is just three short days away.

And I need you all the get some rest,

because there is still a lot of game to be played.

So good night, HouseGuests. -Good night.

You look fab.

-When we return, last summer,

they swept their way through the game

as the most dominant alliance in the history of "Big Brother."

I'll talk live with the Cookout next.

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Welcome back to "Big Brother."

They made history in the "Big Brother" house last summer

and have been watching closely from home this summer.

Please welcome Tiffany, Hannah, Kyland,

Derek, Azah, and last season's winner, Xavier.

Welcome back. Hello.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Alright, as one of the greatest alliances ever in this game,

we have to talk about the alliances we witnessed

in the house this summer.

The Cookout was able to stay loyal to one another,

and that's why the six of you were the final six.

How does that compare to what you've seen in gameplay

this summer of the house?

Hannah? -Yeah, sure.

I think with all alliances, we inevitably see cracks,

premature cracks before they're able to make to it the end

because there's no way that

any power structure can equally benefit everyone.

And that's exactly what we saw this season.

However, the difference with us was that our mission

was very much grounded in unity, empowerment, and love.

And we were able to display the richness,

diversity, and beauty within our community.

So I see that being very hard to replicate moving forward.

And playing in any other way than the way

we played last summer just wasn't an option for any of us.

And we believed in that mission so wholeheartedly,

that that's where our loyalty stemmed from.

So I commend each and every one of you.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Azah, what's your take on the alliances this summer?

-Well, I find it interesting

that a girls alliance established

day one in the season,

to make sure to keep all of us together as women.

When it came to final three, we have one person left.

And what I also find interesting is the Leftovers

that was created to benefit Taylor

and to protect her from what was happening in the house

immediately imploded once people wanted

to think about their own individual games.

A this point in the season, what I see is that what alliance

and how alliances get to the end

is a mission that people actually believe in.

And if people do want the make sure to get to the end,

they have to make sure to have that inside their heads

because even thought everyone might want to be

that type of person, can't.

-This season was not without its controversies.

Let's talk about Kyle being called out for assuming

that there might be another Cookout alliance put together

by all the people of color in the house this summer.

What did you make of that, Tiffany?

-Well, in this house, it is very difficult

to separate game and personal, and I think we just had

a situation where we saw both worlds collide.

And the shadow that the Cookout cast in this game

is evidence of that.

So I think that the way it was handled by Terrance, Taylor,

and Monte is very understandable

because they all come from different walks,

they all have different lives, and they all had

different relationships with the HouseGuests.

So whereas you have Taylor, who was really forgiving,

because that's just been in her nature here in the house,

and I think that's probably just her, that was understandable.

You have Monte, who was very hurt

because of his relationships and his life experiences,

and Terrance, who was very upset,

which is understandable,

although, you know, he did try to save Kyle.

And it's not that he tried the save Kyle,

it's that his excuse for saving him

was to teach him a lesson instead of just being honest

and saying he was better for his game.

-There you go.

Derek, we have our final three locked in.

Who do you think is playing the best game

who's left in the house?

-I'm going to say, you know, I'm rooting for the double Ts,

which is Turner and Taylor.

But of course, you know, Taylor has my heart.

I think Taylor is playing the perfect game.

I mean, she's had her back against the wall

the whole entire game.

She's been on the block multiple times.

I think she's playing ultimately the best game.

And Turner also.

He's been stirring up the house,

and I've enjoyed it a lot.

But Taylor can definitely take it all the way.

-Xavier, who is your pick?

Quickly.

-With Turner and Monte, when it comes to them,

like, at times, I'm like, "All right,

y'all are doing all right."

And then other times, I want to get in there

and smack them in the back of the head.

[ Laughter ]

But when it comes to Taylor, I mean,

just the way she's handled herself with just

poise and grace throughout the season, socially,

she's made people want to root for her, want the vote for her.

And I think that will go a long way

as we get to the end of this game.

So, I think they all got a fair shot,

but I think Taylor is the front-runner.

-Kyland, who's your money on, quickly?

[ Laughter ]

-No, I mean, I think that everyone has their qualities.

Turner did start out, it seems like trying to take a stand,

which was really great to see.

But since then, it feels like all of his decisions

have been made by somebody else.

You don't really want to see that in a winner of this game.

So, really, Taylor and Turner are just playing,

like, different games,

each of them themselves. And I don't know.

It will be very interesting to see where the jury lies.

-I'm going ask the women on my Instagram.

So you'll have to tune in to that to see their answer.

I want to thank you all for joining us tonight.

-Thank you.

-It's so good to see all of you together again.

-Thank you.

-The Cookout, everybody!

[ Cheers and applause ]

-So, Taylor, Monte and Turner have made it to finale night.

One will become the final member of the jury.

One will win $,, and one will win $,.

But that's not all that's on the line.

We'll also be giving away

grand to your favorite HouseGuest.

And this year, they're getting more than just money.

I'll tell you more when we return.

Stay with us.

[ Cheers and applause ]
