27x18 - Episode 18

[bunniefuu]

He enters the night with an unused secret
power.

He arrives as the season's biggest target.

And he sits on the
block facing a house full

of allies he's been
playing all summer long.

Welcome to Live Eviction Night on Big
Brother.

Previously... Ava
Pearl was the top girl.

Ava, you are the new edit out girl.

It's about to get real in this house,
okay?

And she served up some beefy bros.

I have nominated Keanu, Vince,
and Zach.

Although Vince was her main target...

Vinny, your hand is
in so many pots in this

house, people would
think you were a gardener.

Zach had a secret power up his sleeve.

On night one, I won a power called the BB
Buy-Off.

And I can use it at the veto meeting to
take myself off the block.

With power, prizes, and punishments
on the line... Wow, Catherine!

Catherine took home the veto.

Congratulations, Catherine, you have won
the golden power of veto!

While Keanu had to wear a giant
derriere... The butler has arrived!

And Vince became the hard-boiled
detective.

You guys were not expecting this,
were you?

Morgan was concerned about her fellow
Melting Pot allies being in jeopardy.

The four of us could potentially bring
down to three.

And after a game of telephone got her in
trouble with the HOH...

I will happily put Morgan up.

And the veto holder...

I could use this veto,
take down one of the noms,

and open up a nice
spot on that couch for her.

They considered backdooring the gamer.

Ava seems open to switching up her
nominations this week.

And honestly, getting rid of Morgan would
be a good move for my game.

At the veto meeting, Kat opted to keep the
guys on.

I have decided not to use the power of
veto.

And Zach chose to save his BB buy-off.

Ultimately, I did not want to use my BB
buy-off power.

Tonight, Keanu, Vince, and Zach enter the
BB Blockbuster Arena.

Who will win their safety?

And which one will be booted from the
house?

Find out right now, live on Big Brother!

Good evening.

I'm Julie Chen Moonves.

Welcome to Big Brother.

It's day 38 inside the Big Brother house.

And Ava has accomplished what no HOH
before her has.

Seeing the house's biggest target,
Keanu, on the block on eviction night.

But in an unexpected shift, Keanu may not
be the prime target tonight.

As fellow nominees, Zach and Vince,
seem to have become the prime suspects

setting up a BB Battle Royale in the BB
Blockbuster.

So, who will win safety?

And who is headed home?

We'll all find out live tonight.

But first, as the house
guests debate who will

stay and who will go,
only one thing seems sure.

Whoever ends up in the eviction chairs,
their fate is far from certain.

The speedo meeting is adjourned.

Good job, Ava.

Your HOH is epic.

I'm hoping that Vince goes
home this week because he's

literally got his hands in
every pot in this house.

But the house has been trying to get rid
of Keanu for weeks now.

And Zach is really well set up in here.

No matter what, a big player is going home
this week.

And I'm living for this.

I can't even barely wrap my arms around
you.

It's insane.

I'm not feeling good.

I don't want to go home week five.

And I don't want to have my last week in
this house be just as a detective egg.

Keanu is such an easy target to keep in
this house.

I worry that people
are surprisingly thinking

of just keeping him
around for that shield.

I'm not feeling great about my odds
against Zach either because people really,

really like him.

I know there's still Blockbuster,
but it's going against Zach and Keanu,

who are both very, very strong and smart
guys.

I am extremely anxious that I could be in
danger.

Egg boy, I'm sorry, dude.

Good job.

Thank you.

I'm finally on the block coming into
eviction night.

Is it ideal?

Absolutely not.

But do I have faith in myself to win the
BB Blockbuster?

Absolutely.

Thanks for the hot dog stand.

Hey, my pleasure.

I know that I'm taking a big risk.

I could have used the
BB buy-off to give the

$10,000 to Ava and
keep myself in this game.

However, Morgan would have been that
replacement nominee, and I could not do

that to one of my closest friends in this
game.

I'm just hoping that
it really doesn't come

back to bite me and
I'm sent home this week.

Vince is literally my closest person, so
it sucks that we're both up here together.

One of us has to win the
Blockbuster, and the other

one has to make sure
they have six votes to stay.

Get that Blockbuster, bro.

Yep.

That's all we can do now.

You okay?

I feel terrible, but...

It's just so hard.

I'm not sorry that I made a big move in
the game.

And I'm standing on the decisions that
I've made.

Vinny was kind of initially my target this
week.

But watching how Vinny is taking the
punishments and the block with a bit of

humor and a bit of grace, it really makes
me respect him as a player.

And no matter what, a big guy is leaving
this week.

You're doing what's best for your game,
and that's totally fine.

Oh, my God.

Worst case scenario, I really hope Zach or
Vince wins the Blockbuster this week.

So I won't have to choose between the two
of them.

I just want to check.

Well, thank you, Morgan.

I greatly appreciate it.

Yeah.

I don't think anyone knows what they want
to do yet.

This week is not going to be a house vote,
especially if it's Vinny's hat.

It'll be a split vote, to be honest.

I kind of feel like I can control the
vote.

It's just six votes.

That's easy.

I can get six votes.

I just need to figure out which way I need
it to go.

I just need to figure out what makes the
most sense for my game.

Well, for everyone's game.

Who I'm aligned with.

I gotta look at the numbers and see.

I mean, there's not many numbers left.

No, I'm just saying, like, people who I
know will vote the way I need them to vote.

Mickey's coming off way too strong here.

I love her to death, but dang,
girl, can I get my opinion in?

If Vinny's on the block, I truly feel we
have to take this shot.

I'd rather have Vinny than Vinny.

I definitely feel like I am the fourth of
the four right now with the melting pot.

But I do think sticking with this team is
going to be exceptional for my game.

So that's why I'm definitely sending Keanu
home this week.

And I definitely want
to keep Vince over Zach

just because I think
Vince will take bigger shots.

If it's Zach, Keanu, then you want to be
on your back.

I gotta figure out what makes the most
sense for my game and some others' games.

Some others' games?

I mean, uh, hello?

I thought we were aligned.

You have to consult them and not me.

It's raising some major red flags for me.

And I don't know if I can fully trust her.

I mean, is this big brother or big
dictatorship?

Once I kind of figure out what I'm
thinking, I'll let you know.

How you doing?

Doing all right?

Yep.

Good.

Always good when you're not on the block.

What are you thinking for votes?

This is a hard decision this week.

I want Zach out.

I'd rather have Vinny than Zach.

You and me both.

And I think I'd rather have Keanu than
Vinny.

Yeah.

Wanted to see what you were thinking
first, though.

I mean, I'm on board with that.

I think Zach's going to go home this week.

I really do.

People are seeing him as this big-time
competitor.

Uh-huh.

Hearing that Riley is down
to protect Keanu this week

and maybe get rid of Vince
or Zach is music to my ears.

Perfect revenge for the Adrian vote.

Motherflipping chickens.

Sorry, Vince and Zach.

Keanu stayed true.

This one's for Adrian.

If either of you go home...

Oh, well.

Only the strong survive in this game.

Let's try.

Crazy, crazy, crazy.

Oh, yeah.

Miki said she wanted to talk to me about
something.

I'm sorry.

I'm off that ship.

Team.

The Miki ship?

What happened?

She straight-up was
like, I'll let you know what

I end up doing because
me and my team... My team?

Whoa.

She said me and my team...
Are going to make a decision.

I got to figure out what makes the most
sense.

For my game and some others' games.

Once I kind of figure out what I'm
thinking, I'll let you know.

Wow.

Wow.

Okay.

All right, sister.

That just completely rubbed me the wrong
way.

Miki, what are you talking about?

My team... That you would
tell your team what to do.

That's hilarious to me.

Miki, I don't take orders from anyone.

No one... Well,
you scratched that.

I do take orders from my wife.

But nobody in this house tells me what to
do.

No.

She's playing so hard.

You guys talking about my outfit?

Yeah, it's gorgeous.

America's favorite fashion.

Favorite fashion.

Favorite fashion.

I was telling him, just the way she talks
to me, it's like a dictatorship.

That is true.

She's like, I'll let you
know what I decide,

so that way you can
vote with me and my team.

This is hilarious, bro.

And she was like... So,
Miki is being really controlling.

Like, I don't know what
happened during her HOH,

but she kind of has like
changed personalities.

If we're aligned, we have a discussion.

That's the point of an alliance.

Now it's just like, whatever Miki wants.

Sorry, girl.

You're not telling us what to do.

How do you think you're taking this?

I feel like I'm at my most raw state in
this game that I've ever been.

And it's like, that's where I'm like,
almost scared.

Because it's like, now I'm fighting for my
life.

Yeah.

Like, truly.

I'm like, I'm freaked out a little bit.

I got so blindsided this week.

That it's almost like, is my perception
actually not the perception at all?

Okay.

I need you to be totally vulnerable with
me for like two seconds.

Okay.

Who do you think has a better chance of
staying, me and Vince?

I will be honest with you.

Um, the optics look like Vince.

As in, he has a better chance of staying?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I already had a hunch that I was in
danger.

But now she's confirming
the fact that if I don't win that

blockbuster, there's a very
real chance that I go home.

A couple days ago in this house,
I was feeling really solid.

And now I just don't feel nearly as safe.

I was really close to using my $10,000
buy-off power to keep myself in this game.

But then I didn't want to put Morgan at
risk.

I really haven't been wanting to take any
votes away from Vince.

However, I'm starting to feel like I'm
playing this game too selflessly.

I feel like everything
this Thursday is going

to happen exactly the
way it needs to happen.

Up next, with Vince on the case,
we all need to egg-spect the unexpected.

Then, another turn in the BB blockbuster.

We'll see one nominee
safe and the other two in a

fight for their BB lives when
the live vote goes down.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to Big Brother.

As eviction night looms,
could Zach find power

in not keeping his secret
power such a secret?

Block city.

My city.

How did I end up here?

The world is a lonely place when you're on
the block.

Especially when you're a giant egg.

While the rest of the house sleeps,
my work is just beginning.

I've been on many cases before, but
this one I just couldn't seem to crack.

The case of my own nomination.

It wasn't over easy being me.

Everywhere I went, I felt like I was being
watched.

I can only hope that people see me as a
good egg.

My mind was scrambled.

The ghosts of my old partners haunted me.

Good men, all of them.

Would I suffer a similar fate?

I needed some votes, and fast.

So I started with the lovebirds.

Can I ask you guys a question?

Yes.

I'm sorry bro, you're an egg.

But, I was laughed at.

I needed to find a sympathetic ear.

Oh Vinny, how did we get to this point?

I was getting stonewalled.

Just keep an eye, look at me in the eyes.

Yeah.

The silent treatment.

My fate was in my own hands.

If I let it slip through my fingers,
well, all the king's horses and all the

king's men might not be able to put this
egg back together again.

I am going to bed, good night guys.

Good night.

I know that of all people
in this house, Morgan is

going to be absolutely torn
about making a decision.

If it comes down to me and Zach on the
block, after the blockbuster.

And I want to make sure
that she would choose

me over Zach if it
comes down to that vote.

I'm going to need somebody on my side to
rally for me, or I go home.

I will, and I am.

The thing is Vince, Lauren is still here,
and Zach.

I genuinely feel like if he was in charge
of choosing between me and her,

he would take her.

A hundred percent.

I think he lies to me about it because he
doesn't want me to catch on.

This is what pisses me off.

You don't think I see
how you look at her,

how you talk to her,
how you flirt with her.

I'm not stupid.

Who's out here?

I see Lauren, I just can't tell who's in
the hammock with her.

Where is everyone?

It makes me sad because
I'm in here working,

trying to make sure
both of you are safe.

You will always choose her.

One hundred percent.

And that's what pisses me off.

If it comes down to the choice between you
and Zach, I have you.

No matter what.

I always felt good about you.

I need to go to work.

Yeah.

Morgan could very well be the deciding
vote this week.

I've got to pull out all the stops right
now because I know that this is the

hardest decision Morgan has ever had to
make in this house.

I just need to make sure that she's on my
side.

You had one.

You had one.

I'm sorry.

You should have done it, Zach.

It's fine.

Who's dead?

He is willing to stay on the block and
potentially risk his life leaving.

For me, the only way I can repay him is by
giving him my vote against Vinny,

if it comes down to that.

I'm having a really hard time because to
me, Vinny has been my number one.

And I don't know if Vince would ever
forgive me if he didn't have my vote.

I just don't know what to do.

Up next, Vince, Keanu or Zach.

Who will experience the thrill of victory
and who will feel the agony of defeat?

The BB Blockbuster, when we return.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to Big Brother.

Zach took a risk and kept his BB buy-off
power in his pocket.

Now, only a win here will ensure that it's
not his last night in the house.

Vince's sole mission tonight is to win and
keep his Big Brother dream alive.

Will his dream come true?

This is Keanu's fourth time on
the block, but he has avoided

the BB Blockbuster by winning
the veto three straight times.

Can he win and save his game for a fourth?

It's time to find out.

Hello, house guests.

Hi, Julie.

It's time for the BB Blockbuster
competition.

The winner will immediately come off the
block.

This competition is called Jumbo
Gemstones, and here's how it works.

Before you are four stacks of gemstones.

Your job is to move the
gemstones in an attempt to get

the same color gemstone
on the post of the same color.

Three red, three yellow, three blue,
and three green.

You can only move
your gemstones one at a

time, and you cannot
place them on the ground.

The first person to do this and buzz in
will win this competition and their safety.

Does everyone understand?

Yeah.

Yes, Julie.

Yep.

Good.

Then get ready, because this competition
starts now.

Congratulations, Keanu!

You have won this competition,
and you are now officially off the block.

Everyone, please return to the Big Brother
house immediately.

The live vote and eviction will begin
shortly.

So, Vince or Zach, one will continue on in
the game.

The other's game will be over.

The live vote and eviction next.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to Big Brother.

Let's head to the house and reveal the
winner of the BB Blockbuster competition.

Hello, house guests.

Hi, Julie!

All right, you all know
that Zach, Keanu, and

Vince just competed
in the BB Blockbuster.

And it's time to reveal who won and who
remains on the block.

Nominees, head on down.

The winner of the BB Blockbuster is...

Keanu!

Wow!

That means he is safe from eviction
tonight.

House guests, you have just a few moments
before the live voting begins.

I'm sorry.

Likewise, dude.

Sorry, I can't get into this.

All right, house guests.

Thank you for all taking your places in
the living room.

It is time for the live vote and eviction.

Zach, Vince, in just moments, your housemates
will cast their votes to evict live.

But before they do, you
each have a final chance

to sway their votes
with one brief statement.

Zach, you're up first.

Hey, guys.

Just wanted to say, first off,
I love all of you dearly.

I mean, it is incredible, the experience
that we've been able to have.

I'm never going to talk one bad thing
about this man sitting next to me.

He's one of my best friends in this house.

And we both, honestly, I believe,
deserve to be here.

And so, all I ask for is your vote.

But at the end of the day, do what's best
for your game.

And that's all I can say.

I will never say anything bad about you,
Vince.

For real, you're like a brother to me in
this place.

I love you, man.

So, that's all I got.

Thank you, Zach.

Vince?

Well, exactly the same about Zach.

He's one of my best friends in here.

And I have nothing negative to say about
him.

It's tough to be taken seriously wearing
this thing.

But I just hope that the house guests do
see the value in keeping me in this house.

I've wanted to play this game for so many
years.

And I have a lot... Sorry.

I have a lot of game left in me to play.

So, all I ask for is your vote.

And hopefully you do see that value in me
and keeping me here.

Thank you, Vince.

Thank you both.

All right, everyone.

It's now time for the live voting to
begin.

As always, the two nominees are not
allowed to vote.

Ava, as current head of household,
you will only vote in the event of a tie.

One at a time, the rest of you will enter
the diary room and cast your vote to evict.

And tonight, it will take six votes to be
evicted.

Mickey, you're up first.

Please go to the diary room.

Mickey feels confident that she can
control the vote this week.

Is she right?

Hello, Mickey.

Hi, Julie.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

So do you.

Thank you.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Zach.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi, Mama Annie, Mama Penny, Auntie Dawn.

Love you guys and shout out to all my
peaches and eggs.

Rachel feels Vince has his hand in too
many pots.

Is she ready to fry the egg?

Hi, Rachel.

You look lovely.

Thank you.

So do you.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Vince.

I love you, Adora, Adler, Brendan.

I miss you so much.

Thank you.

Zach gave Will a trip to London in the
veto competition.

Will he pay him back with his vote?

Hello, Will.

Hey, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I sadly vote to evict Vinny.

Shout out to Gwen, my chocolate drop.

My grandbabies do well in school.

Love y'all.

Thank you.

Ashley is annoyed with Mickey and called
her a dictator.

But did she let her dictate her vote
tonight?

Hi, Julie.

Hi, Ashley.

You look so beautiful today.

Thank you.

So do you.

Thank you.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I extremely sadly vote to evict Zach.

Love you, Mom.

Love you, Dad.

Love you, brother.

Bye, everyone.

Love you.

Currently, the vote is two votes to evict
Zach and two votes to evict Vince.

The remaining votes when we return.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to Big Brother.

The house guests have been voting to evict
either Zach or Vince.

And with two votes each, it's currently a
tie.

Let's continue with the live voting.

Aligned with both nominees, this is
Morgan's worst nightmare.

What will she do?

Hello, Morgan.

Hi, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I sadly vote to evict Zach.

Philomena, I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Kelly made a final two with Vince early in
the game.

But is that old news?

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Zach.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Happy birthday, Gabby.

I love you, Cory, Carolyn, Mom,
Dad, Carrie, and Tristan.

Zach.

Is that still the case?

Hello, Riley.

Hello, beautiful.

Ah, thank you.

Please cast your vote to evict.

Julie, I sadly, sadly vote to evict Zach.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mom, Dad, Ashley Scholar, Jeremy W.,

I'm a Bullhead, flew through Oklahoma.

I love y'all.

Two of Lauren's closest friends sit
side-by-side on the block.

Where will her vote fall?

Hello, Lauren.

Hey, Miss Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I really, sadly, um, vote to evict Zach.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Family and friends at home, love you so
much.

Um, hope I make you proud.

It's official.

With six votes to evict Zach, Zach will
leave the house tonight.

But let's see how the other votes fall.

Hi, Catherine.

Hi, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I sadly vote to evict Zach.

Thank you.

Thank you, Julie.

Love you, friends and family.

Sorry, had to watch me kiss a boy.

Keanu told Vince he could count on his
vote.

It's time to make that vote count.

Hello, Keanu.

Mama J., how we doing today?

Congratulations again for Pete.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Please cast your vote to evict.

I vote to evict Zach.

Thank you.

Cobell Foster Rushing families,
I love you guys, miss you guys.

All of the votes are in.

Let's give the news to the house guests.

House guests, the votes are in.

When I reveal the vote, the evicted house
guests will have just a few moments to say

goodbye, gather his belongings,
and walk out the front door.

By a vote of eight to two, Zach, you
are evicted from the Big Brother house.

I'm so sorry that you came to this.

I love you, man.

Thank you so much for being my friend in
here.

I need to go.

Thank you very much.

I love you, man.

I'm so sorry.

You're okay.

I didn't even want to put you on the
floor.

It's okay.

I love you, Zach.

I love you.

Thank you guys again for everything.

You guys are like a family to me.

We're going to party hard the after party.

Thank you guys for everything,
okay?

Love you, Zach.

Love you, Zach.

Zach, blow us a kiss one time.

Yes, again.

One more time.

Daddy.

Bye, Daddy.

Good.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Stay right there.

When we return, I'll talk one-on-one with
Zach.

But first, The Amazing Race premieres on
Thursday, September 25th.

And you may recognize some familiar Big
Brother faces.

Here's a sneak peek.

Welcome back to Big Brother.

I'm here with Zach, who was just evicted
by a vote of 8-2.

The first thing you said when you came out
was, wasn't expecting that.

Yeah, not with the vote in particular,
just with how this week went.

I felt like I was completely blindsided to
start.

And honestly, at the beginning of the
week, I thought I had the votes.

And it kind of just went back and forth
for me.

So, yeah.

So what do you think changed?

I knew that there were a bunch of votes in
the middle.

I knew that Mickey,
Morgan, Lauren, and also

Riley were in the
middle in terms of votes.

And I knew if Keanu
and I were sitting at

the very end, that I
would have those votes.

But with me and Vince,
we're so closely aligned

and we're literally best
friends in this game.

I had no idea where they were going to
vote those four.

So they were either going to go with Vince
or for me.

So that was my thought heading into the
end.

Well, now you know, they didn't go for
you.

So who are the two votes that did?

I'm assuming Rachel, because she's been
very emphatic about trying to get Vince out.

And I would say Will, because Will said
he's been with me since day one.

And we're definitely going to see each
other when we leave this place.

Now you had this BB buy-off power,
but you chose not to use.

You could have given Ava, the
current HOH, your $10,000 that

you won on premiere night
for saving me, for your safety.

Can you lean forward just a little bit?

Yeah.

Am I something?

Why didn't you use it?

Look, I came into this game thinking I was
going to play very selfishly, right?

And that's how I kind of came into it.

But I know that Morgan was going to be the
fourth person.

And so the reason why is I didn't want to
put her at risk, because two people in my

alliance would still be on the block,
right?

Right.

And so I didn't want to... I was hoping to
risk that, move forward after this week,

and then all four of us,
me, Vince, Morgan and

Mickey, could kind of
roll together after that.

And I could use that power then.

So I know I was taking a
huge gamble, but I knew that I

could not afford to put Morgan
on the block in my place.

If it was anybody else, if it was anybody
else...

But that's the second time we saw you play
not selfishly.

For example, when Lauren was HOH,
you didn't want to vote to keep Adrienne

because you didn't want her to have to
break a tie.

Right, right.

I mean, she's also very close to me.

But also, Will and Adrienne, to me,
were equals in my game.

And so I wanted to vote with the house at
that point to not risk Lauren.

And so because Adrienne and Will were
totally even to me at that point,

I didn't want to risk Lauren being exposed
more.

You told Morgan and Mickey this very week
that you had this secret power.

I did.

Why?

I mean, look, I wanted to use it as
leverage to keep me in this game.

I understand, like, you know, you have to
play for yourself eventually.

But I also wanted to
earn their trust, like, just to

the fullest extent that
I'm here to ride with them.

And that's the reason why I didn't put
Morgan up.

And if Mickey was in that same position,
I would have done the same.

But briefly, do you think it backfired
because then they know you have this power?

It could have.

It could have.

I just know that if I left
that card off the table,

I would be regretting
it more in this moment.

I wanted to ride with,
like, a couple of people

in this game, and
I felt like I had that.

If it did backfire, then, you know,
shame on me.

But by the end, I accepted it.

But you got ten grand.

Quick final thoughts.

Quick final thoughts?

I mean, Big Brother,
thank you guys so much

for allowing me to
partake in this opportunity.

It's been an incredible experience.

It's nothing like you guys see on TV.

There's a lot that happens
in between each episode,

but I've made 16
incredible friends in there.

And I know after this ends, I'll still
have their backs no matter what.

So, I'm grateful for the opportunity.

Julie, thank you so much for everything
you've done.

And I know my mom
right there is, like, watching

out, and she's loving
every moment of this.

So, just you.

Zach, thank you, and Godspeed.

Thank you.

I appreciate it.

Thank you, guys.

Another week down,
another house guest evicted,

and another action-packed
week on the horizon.

Tune in Sunday at 8,


rises to power as the
new head of household.

And to see which three house guests will
be nominated for eviction.

Then on Wednesday at 8, 7 Central, Otev
is back for the Power of Veto competition.

What form will he take this season?

And who will be left on the block when all
is said and done?

And next Thursday, the live vote in eviction
will send another house guest packing.

Head to Paramount Plus right
now where you can binge all

of the Big Brother episodes
and watch the live feeds 24-7.

For now, let's eavesdrop on the house
guests.

From outside the Big Brother house,
I'm Julie Chen Moonves.

Love one another.

Good night.
