00:01Previously on Big Brother.
00:05With the four jurors battling to get back in the game.
00:09John, you're in.
00:10The dentist was crowned the victor.
00:12John has earned his way back into the Big Brother house.
00:15But he still had to fight it out for head of household.
00:18It's down to the final two, John versus Vanessa.
00:21And in the end, he fell to Vanessa.
00:24Vanessa is the new head of household.
00:27Looking to improve her odds in the game.
00:30I love working with Austin and the twins.
00:32But at the end of the day, I'm a fool if I don't realize that I'm at the bottom of
00:34their totem pole.
00:35The poker player formed a secret alliance with John and Steve.
00:39I think what's best is the three of us.
00:41Okay.
00:42After turning Austwins against James and Meg.
00:45James said, I love the girls in Austin, but it's the game.
00:48I one million percent do not trust Meg and James. I want them out.
00:53Vanessa gave the friend-man one last chance to change their fate.
00:57If James and Meg have some information that indicates that maybe Austin doesn't totally have my back,
01:02I'm open-minded to hear it out right now.
01:04Is there any information you guys have that you'd like me to have?
01:07But when they wouldn't play ball.
01:08Everyone was under the assumption I was a target.
01:10Like this past week.
01:11Yes.
01:12I was never filled in on that.
01:13She set the stage for their demise.
01:16How do you guys, either of you guys feel about being pawns?
01:18The two of us have been on the block like a freaking lot.
01:22At the nomination ceremony...
01:25I've nominated you, Meg, and you, James.
01:27James and Meg quickly realized they were no pawns.
01:31I won't hesitate to put a king in check, and a king isn't worth much.
01:34That is queen.
01:35Tonight, it's do or die for the country boy and the city girl.
01:39Will one of them be saved by the power of veto?
01:42Find out right now on Big Brother.
01:46I'm going to go to bed soon.
02:25This nomination ceremony is adjourned.
02:32I decided to nominate Meg and James because they're a strong couple.
02:35Not on my side of the house.
02:36I'm not sure I can trust them.
02:37And at the end of the day, this option will allow me to get the least blood on my hands
02:41this week.
02:41I saw that one come in.
02:44Once again, I am sitting next to my best friend on the block, and it's a lose-lose situation.
02:52Every single person has been taken from me, and this is now the worst of the worst.
03:00Oof, it's been the hardest week so far.
03:04It's all right, man.
03:05It's a game.
03:06It definitely sucks being on the block with your ally, but the power of veto is definitely
03:11important.
03:11It assures that one of us at least comes down off the block and then gets some revenge.
03:17All right, buddy.
03:18Good luck, man.
03:19Thanks.
03:23If you want to talk, I'm happy to explain, like, details.
03:27You understand?
03:28Yeah.
03:29Listen.
03:29It's my move now.
03:30You know what I'm saying?
03:31So that's, game-wise, what all it is.
03:33It's nothing personal.
03:33I don't have any particular target in mind.
03:36You're good.
03:36You're good.
03:39Oh, my God.
03:41It's awkward.
03:48You okay?
03:49Yeah.
03:51Man, Naked Clay and Shelly does.
03:55She said there's no clear target, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be me, though.
04:00One of us has to win veto, because I ain't sitting next to you on Thursday.
04:11I think it's okay.
04:18Ugh.
04:20One of us is going home.
04:21Oh, yeah.
04:22No doubt.
04:23Yeah.
04:23I either...
04:24I go home or, like, I have to stay here without you.
04:28There you go.
04:32I always wanted to see the jury house.
04:35We get the full Big Brother effect.
04:40Did you want to talk to Vanessa?
04:42Mm-hmm.
04:42Maybe y'all can hash everything out.
04:44Maybe there's something that we didn't know or something, or Austin said or something,
04:47you know?
04:48Mm-hmm.
04:51It's funny that we kept her.
04:54I know.
05:00What's really frustrating is that four weeks ago, we decided to keep Vanessa over Shelly
05:06when they were on the block together, and now it is coming back to haunt us.
05:11I want to give you what I didn't have in a similar situation, which is the benefit of
05:15understanding why.
05:16I am so alone in the game, I have to make moves that allow me to move up on that
05:20totem pole.
05:21It's nothing but respect for the two of you as competitors.
05:23Beyond that, you're obviously a very tight alliance to whom your loyalties will always
05:28be to each other above anyone else.
05:29I'm at the bottom of everyone's...
05:33Sorry.
05:34I know it's probably really hard to sit up next to someone that you've been relying
05:38on.
05:38I wouldn't even know what that's like because I've never had someone to rely on in this
05:42game.
05:42Vanessa, I've never, ever targeted you.
05:46We're going to put you up.
05:48Like, that was never anything that I was going to be a part of.
05:51If anything, the two of us fought to have you stay that week.
05:55I feel like I've been playing such a rule.
05:58Trust me, it's not easy.
05:59Like, I don't feel good about it at all.
06:01Like, I have a full body sweat going, alright?
06:03Vanessa, I know.
06:04It's not...
06:04It's not that.
06:05Alright.
06:07I feel like I said a wuss.
06:09No, I don't feel like a wuss.
06:10It's okay.
06:13Give me a hug.
06:14Come on.
06:16It's okay.
06:24You have to win POV.
06:26It's the only chance that we have.
06:29The most important veto comp ever.
06:41Has Meg come out of having that room at all?
06:43They were in there a while ago.
06:44They moved my stuff.
06:46Have they talked to you at all?
06:48Very little.
06:49What do you think is the best move if James won the veto?
06:52If you're me.
06:54And you just want Meg to go?
06:57No, anything.
06:58I want to win the game.
07:01Take a shot somewhere else or still try to get Meg evicted even though it's almost impossible.
07:05I mean your choices would be me, John, or Ostwin's.
07:13That's all that's left.
07:16James needs to not win veto.
07:18I can't risk like my positioning.
07:22I know what you mean.
07:24If I pissed off Ostwin, I pissed off every person in this house.
07:28I can't.
07:28It would be the most dumb move of all time.
07:30Like you do realize how pivotal a role I've played with every single eviction.
07:43Like I have so much blood on my hands, I'm in this game.
07:46You trust Ostwin's would take us to five?
07:48I do.
07:50I do.
07:51Okay.
07:54I really hope James isn't winning the veto.
07:57If he wins it, it's going to be terrible.
08:05Hey everybody, it's time to pick players for the veto competition!
08:16Only six people will participate in the veto competition.
08:18The head of household, the two nominees, and three other players selected by random draw.
08:23Will the nominees please join me up here?
08:29As HOH, I will pick first.
08:36Julia.
08:47I want to get picked to play in this veto because even though I'm working close with Vanessa, I'm resurrected
08:52in this game, which puts another target on my back and I'd like to ensure my safety this week.
08:58Liz.
09:04It sucks that James and I are in this position, we're the only ones playing for ourselves.
09:10I'm pretty sure everyone else would keep the nominations the same.
09:14We need to win this.
09:17Austin!
09:22Picking players couldn't have gone better for me.
09:25Austin and the twins get picked.
09:26These are three people that I know I can count on to fight to win the veto and try to
09:29keep noms the same.
09:31Big Brother will inform us when the competition is to begin.
09:33Good luck.
09:47Well, that couldn't have played out any better.
09:50I think Liz is going to try to win it.
09:52I think Buzz and Austin are going to try to win it.
09:54They don't want to be backdoored.
09:58They're not going to want to use it on us.
10:01And they're not going to want to use it with Vanessa.
10:05Yeah, I know.
10:09Man, whatever this comp is, if I don't win this comp, I deserve to go home.
10:15What do you think it's going to be?
10:17I hope it's something real physical, something you've got to get down and dirty.
10:21I don't.
10:22I was thinking about coming out to the veto comp with this blanket wrapped around me and the hood and
10:25the glasses.
10:27Scared the shit out of Austin.
10:29Let me see if it'll work.
10:31Like that.
10:33We both should do that.
10:35Ready for the veto comp!
10:42I feel like the odds are our favorite to win a veto.
10:46Yeah, yeah.
10:49Both our butts and our backs are against the wall.
10:52And this is the one time we absolutely need it.
11:10How did you find out that you were home in Bay?
11:13I just got back from the bar.
11:16I have my daughter Bailey.
11:17You know, I love her very much.
11:19I'm a proud dad.
11:20But I got to say, Bailey came into this world in an unexpected way.
11:24One night, you know, I had too much fun.
11:26And I'm going to fast forward this nine months later.
11:29It was like four in the morning.
11:31And I looked at my phone and it said like 20 missed calls.
11:35Oh my God.
11:36Six voice messages, 20 missed text messages.
11:39And I looked through and it says, Branagh, Branagh, Branagh, Branagh.
11:42And I'm like, what the hell?
11:44I threw my phone down and I was like, okay, whatever.
11:48And I called her and then she told me,
11:50you might want to come down to the hospital and meet your daughter.
11:54And then I was like, y'all stop playing, cut that out.
11:58Y'all are just messing with me.
11:59And they're like, no, we're not.
12:00The family members, once the little, the head popped out and it was like,
12:05oh crap, this is James' baby.
12:08Yeah, so I went up to the hospital and I looked like, you know, I saw a ghost.
12:13Before I even got to the room, they were like, sir, are you okay?
12:16I said, I have, I have a little girl.
12:18They're like, oh, that's great. Congratulations.
12:20I said, I just found out two hours ago.
12:23They were like, oh.
12:29Oh man.
12:30In all the chaos and madness, it was definitely a blessing in disguise.
12:34And I love my little girl dearly.
12:36I'm doing all this for her.
12:38And now a little bae's here.
12:40Now a little bae's here.
12:42But it was like, whoa.
12:43Yeah, it was a whoa.
12:44Yeah.
12:50Hey everyone, it's time for the Veto competition.
12:55Let's head to the backyard.
12:57Damn.
12:57Yeah!
12:57Oh!
13:02Woo!
13:03Yeah!
13:05Oh my God.
13:07So we walk outside and it's a cool retro game show.
13:11And I love game shows.
13:13I'm a 90s kid.
13:14What's behind door number three?
13:17It's a Veto medallion.
13:19Why, thank you.
13:20I'll take that.
13:22Players, welcome to
13:24Hide and Go Veto!
13:31Hide and Seek probably seems like child's play to you, but today, it could mean the difference
13:36between leaving or staying inside the Big Brother house.
13:41Oh my God.
13:42Each of you will be separated, unable to speak or communicate with one another.
13:46One at a time, you'll enter the house and have three minutes to hide your Veto card.
13:52Once all the cards have been hidden, one at a time, you must search through the house
13:57to find your opponent's Veto cards.
13:59But, keep in mind, all of the Veto cards look exactly the same, so you won't know which
14:05houseguest Veto card you're bringing back out.
14:07You'll need to search quickly because your turn only lasts two minutes.
14:12Whoa!
14:12Once a Veto card is found, it will be placed on the board.
14:17The houseguest who hides their Veto card the best will win the power of Veto!
14:24Are you ready to play...
14:27Hide and Go Veto!
14:30Yeah!
14:32Alright Meg, you're up first.
14:35Woohoo!
14:36Yeah!
14:38Grandma!
14:41This is the first time that I've ever had a fight for myself.
14:44And it feels very personal to me because James and I have been put up as this best friend duo,
14:51so we need to make sure that this is the most badass game of hide and seek I've ever played.
14:57God, man, this house is gonna be destroyed.
15:02In this competition, the goal is to find the best hiding spot in the house for your Veto card.
15:09At the end of five rounds, whosoever Veto card hasn't been found wins.
15:14I decided to hide my Veto card in the front bedroom in between a little nook and cranny in our
15:21day bed.
15:22It is a perfect hiding spot. Not only is it in a nook and cranny, but it's under a mattress
15:27and I'm feeling good.
15:34I'm putting my Veto card in the duvet cover of the day bed.
15:38What I'm hoping for is that no one actually unbuttons this thing and finds it.
15:42We'll see.
15:44Me and Meg are the targets. At least if I can win the Veto, I can save myself and hopefully
15:49save Meg later in the process.
15:53I'm Captain Camo. This is the perfect competition for me, hands down.
15:58If I can hide myself in every nook and cranny to scare everybody in this house, I can definitely take
16:03a small Veto card and conceal it.
16:05It's gone.
16:09I decide to hide my Veto card in the parlor room.
16:12I'm going to unzip one of the cushions on the couch and place my Veto card in there.
16:17I think people are just going to be throwing cushions and not unzipping the cushions and looking inside of them.
16:22I got this one.
16:25My strategy is to put my Veto card in the place that I know best. The kitchen!
16:31I put my Veto card in what I know and love. Pizza!
16:36No one is going to look inside the actual pizza box.
16:39Steve isn't playing this competition. He's the only one that eats that pizza.
16:45I need nominations to stay the same, which means either myself, Austin, Liz, or Julia needs to win this thing.
16:51I decide to hide my Veto card inside a sofa cushion.
16:54I thought that hiding it in the living room would be pretty good because I thought that would be one
16:58of the last rooms people would ransack.
17:02All right, Meg, you have two minutes to search for a Veto card.
17:06Woo-woo!
17:12I'm trying to get into the twins' line and thinking of where they would hide something.
17:17They spend a large majority of the time putting on makeup in the bathroom, so I hit there first.
17:31I am tearing apart this house because I know that my big brother life is at stake and I have
17:39to find these Veto cards or else I am going home and I am not letting that happen.
17:50Meg comes back empty handed.
17:57I'm going to flip everything upside down in this room so that people can't find my Veto card.
18:02The beds, they gotta go.
18:04The sheets, they're going.
18:07The mattresses, they're going.
18:09I'm flipping everything left and right.
18:12I fear no object.
18:17Austin has returned without a Veto card.
18:23This Veto competition is definitely a good excuse for me to tear up the house.
18:27If it can be messed up, I'm messing it up.
18:30I want to make it look like a tornado's come through there.
18:41If I'm going out, I'm going out with a bang.
18:44I'm going to destroy the whole big brother house and I'm going to love it.
18:51James did not return with a Veto card.
18:55The kitchen is a mess.
18:57I see cereal everywhere and who's going to clean that up because it's not going to be me.
19:03Oh, damn.
19:15Julia is back with nothing.
19:19It is so important for me or my twin or Austin to win this Veto because we want James out
19:26of this house.
19:27His pretty butt is going home.
19:29You guys are good.
19:31Liz, you did not find a Veto card.
19:33Better luck next time.
19:37I'm channeling my inner James here because James cannot win this thing.
19:41I'm searching high and low.
19:42I get down to the freezer.
19:44I see these big square shaped pizza boxes and I'm like, that would be a good spot for a Veto
19:48card.
19:50Yes.
19:51I open it up and we have a Veto card.
19:54Woo-hoo!
19:58Congratulations, Vanessa.
20:00You have found the first Veto card.
20:02There are four Veto cards left to be found.
20:42The Veto cards left to be found.
20:44I love this game.
20:47I know no one's gonna place their veto cards in obvious spots, so I'm thinking similar
20:52to what I did, looking in clothes, looking in pillow cushions, just spots that I would
20:58hide something.
21:01Booyah, bitches.
21:03Yeah!
21:05Yeah!
21:07Congratulations, Julia.
21:09You have found the second veto card.
21:11There are three veto cards left to be found.
21:14I finally find a veto card, and it better be Meg or James.
21:19I need to knock them out of this game.
21:26I don't want to play this anymore.
21:28I'm running around the house.
21:30It is absolutely trash.
21:32I can't.
21:33I can't.
21:34This is giving me anxiety.
21:36Oh, no.
21:37I have OCD, and I hate messes.
21:41My Muesli cereal.
21:44Oh, God.
21:47Oh.
21:51I ran out of time in the hammock room on my last run, but I am convinced there's a veto
21:56card
21:57in there, and I am ready to tear this place apart.
22:03Sure enough, I find a veto card in one of the cushions.
22:08Whoa!
22:09Whoa!
22:10Whoa!
22:11Congratulations, Meg.
22:12You have found the third veto card.
22:15Thank you, Steve.
22:16There are two veto cards left to be found.
22:20I'm feeling so good that I found a veto card.
22:24I know that I have just taken someone out of the game.
22:27I am just praying that it wasn't James.
22:33I'm doing everything I can to think of where these veto cards could possibly be.
22:37I have to ask myself, what do I know about these particular people?
22:40And James is one of the more sneaky people in the house.
22:42I have a hunch that James is probably under a giant decoy pile.
22:52At this point, I don't know if my veto card has been found or not, but I still want to
22:56continue to cover up this day room just in case it's in here.
23:04I'm back in the house, and I notice my card has not been touched, so my thing is right
23:08now is to throw as much stuff as I can in front of the couch, so if they try to
23:12flip it,
23:12and throw the rug up, the rug's not going that far.
23:15They would have to move all that stuff out of the way to literally lift that rug up halfway
23:19to see my card.
23:29Yeah, baby!
23:34Congratulations, James.
23:36You have brought back the fourth veto card.
23:39There is one more veto card left.
23:51More honestly, I am so over this.
23:56That horn sounds, and I'm going to town.
24:00I'm running through this house.
24:01I'm going to toss and turn anything I need to find a veto card.
24:05Don't be mad.
24:06It's all for the game.
24:20There's only one veto card left to find and a few places left to look.
24:23I feel like I'm getting close here.
24:27I can't stress enough how much Mega James can win this thing.
24:30It's time for me to end it once and for all, and I'm not leaving this house without the veto
24:33card in my hand.
24:46It's down to the last two cards, and I know my butt is on the line for going to jury.
24:52Vanessa's in the house, and I just know the simple fact that if she finds my veto card, I'm done.
25:04Congratulations, Vanessa.
25:06You have found the fifth veto card, which means that this game is over.
25:11All righty.
25:14Good work, Vanessa.
25:18Players, it is time for the big reveal.
25:21Big money, big money.
25:22Remember, the owner of the veto card that has not been found will win the power of veto.
25:28The first veto card was found by Vanessa.
25:32Let's see who she eliminated.
25:42Liz, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
25:46All right.
25:47The second veto card was found by Julia.
25:54Vanessa!
25:55I'm sorry.
25:57Sorry, Vanessa, but you have been eliminated.
26:00I got one.
26:01I'm really bummed I didn't win the veto, and I'm crossing my fingers that neither Meg or
26:06James will be able to win this thing.
26:07Meg, you found the third veto card.
26:10Let's see who you have eliminated.
26:12Yeah.
26:12Big money, big spin.
26:14Big money, big spin.
26:19Oh.
26:20Oh.
26:21Sorry, girl.
26:21Oh, well.
26:22Julia, I'm sorry, but you've been eliminated from the competition.
26:27James, you found the fourth veto card.
26:29Let's find out who you've taken out of the competition.
26:38Oh.
26:39Oh.
26:42I knew that.
26:44I'm sorry.
26:44Of course it had to be James who took me out.
26:49Oh.
26:50Meg, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
26:53James, the only way that you can make this up to me is for you to win this veto.
26:58Wow.
26:59It all comes down to this.
27:00Either Austin or James will win the power of veto.
27:05It always comes down to me and Austin in competitions.
27:07Maybe it's a gag joke.
27:08Maybe it's just destiny or fate.
27:10But thing is, I'm tired of being next to Sasquatch in a competition every time.
27:16What the heck?
27:17It's pretty much like my best and worst case scenario, both right there on the table as
27:21a possibility.
27:22And I'm the one of all people who brought the card out.
27:26Of course it's a cliffhanger.
27:28Come on, big money.
27:29Daddy needs a veto medallion because he needs to be safe this week.
27:39Oh, yeah.
27:40Austin, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
27:43That means congratulations, James.
27:45You have won the golden power of veto.
27:48I just won the power of veto.
27:50Vanessa, you tried to take me out, but it's not going to happen.
27:53This country boy is here to stay.
27:55For you, Bailey.
27:58I didn't win the power of veto and it's becoming very real that I might be going home this week,
28:05but I still have a chance knowing that James is still in the game.
28:12This was the worst case scenario, James being able to pull himself off the block.
28:15Now I have to find a replacement nominee and I have no idea what I'm going to do.
28:36Are you ready, John?
28:37I don't think I'm ready.
28:39Who threw the cereal?
28:40That was not even relevant.
28:41I knew that was James.
28:43No.
28:43Heck no.
28:44I didn't do all that.
28:45The more sleeves.
28:46Oh, my God.
28:47Look at all that.
28:52Let me see how bad it is.
28:53Oh, my God.
28:55Oh.
28:57No.
28:59For you, Bailey.
29:01You tried to take your daddy out.
29:03Daddy ain't built like that.
29:15Oh, my God.
29:15I was right there.
29:16Oh, my God.
29:16I was right there.
29:18Oh, my God.
29:19I was right there.
29:21Great.
29:22Super, wonderful, perfect result.
29:25There is no doubt in my mind that James is officially gunning for me.
29:28So, I'm terrified that he's the most likely to win the next HOH and there's zero doubt in my mind
29:34that if he does, I'm going up on the block.
29:38Oh, well, there goes that lid.
29:51You feel good?
29:52Hmm?
29:52You feel good?
29:53It doesn't feel good like, yeah, I want it, but it feels right, like caramel.
29:58Because we didn't deserve to go up on the block.
30:01I'm very curious to see who she puts up.
30:03James winning the power of veto was the best case scenario for the chance of both of us to stay
30:09in the house.
30:10I'm really hoping that Vanessa realizes I'm not her biggest threat in the house and she finds a new target
30:17who is a stronger competitor.
30:20I'm going to try to make a deal save you. Vanessa's a sitting tuck next week.
30:24Now that I have the power of veto, Vanessa can't touch me this week and I got to come up
30:28with a plan so I can keep Meg safe this week.
30:31I'll tell her I will go after her from my mouth in her face.
30:36No more playing Mr. Nice Guy.
30:45You shower.
30:47How terrible does it I find Austin?
30:49I know.
30:50I want to cry.
30:51I teared up when I saw that he won.
30:53Like, you're so pissed.
30:56But if you want to send Meg home, like, we'll vote to evict Meg.
31:02So what do you, like, you have to put up John or would you put up, like, Steve?
31:08I don't know now.
31:09Finding a replacement nominee that will ensure that Meg will have the votes to go to jury is going to
31:14be tough.
31:14Almost anyone who goes up next to her will be seen as a bigger threat and it will be a
31:18compelling reason to flip the vote on me.
31:21What do I have to confirm that you guys are going to vote that way?
31:23Like, when it's in your interest to vote out John?
31:26I mean...
31:26John's coming for you guys and Meg sucks.
31:29So you'd be stupid to vote on Meg just because I want you to.
31:32Like, that's my problem.
31:33I know what's going to happen.
31:34The vote's going to get close.
31:35So it's going to come out and the vote is going to flip.
31:38There's no right answer.
31:39Like, it's terrible.
31:39It's actually so bad.
31:41Like, what a terrible result.
32:14So where is it around my neck?
32:17Let it soak in a little bit.
32:22Right there, baby.
32:24Let that soak in.
32:26Safe.
32:30You gonna wear that all day today?
32:31Damn right.
32:33Damn right.
32:33Someone tried to take me out.
32:35And I've pretty much been walking on eggshells with Vanessa for 70-something days in this house.
32:39And it has done me no good.
32:41Vanessa, you know I like to make big moves.
32:44Now you better watch your back.
32:45The thing I wanted to tell you, like, man to man.
32:48I'll tell Vanessa straight up to her face.
32:50If I win HOH, her ass is going up on the block.
32:54Period.
32:55I don't care who tells her.
32:56Because she done put me up twice.
32:58And she targeted me and her over some bull this week.
33:01And I'm tired of it.
33:02I just want you guys to feel like I played you.
33:05No.
33:06Because...
33:07Listen, you gotta protect your girl.
33:08Yeah.
33:09And I'm trying to protect...
33:10Well, I mean, we're not showmates or nothing, but...
33:13Well...
33:13You know?
33:14I'm your queen, apparently.
33:16Yeah.
33:34I thought I had it.
33:35I thought I had it.
33:36I thought I had it.
33:36I know.
33:37I hope you know I tried as hard as my heart is.
33:38I thought I had it.
33:39I thought I had it.
33:45I saw.
33:45You know what?
33:46He's definitely gonna go put you up.
33:47Basically, he's like, I'm gonna have to target her now.
33:49I have no problem.
33:50And the problem is, it's like, I...
33:52Yeah.
33:55...am completely...
33:55Uh-huh.
33:56This is...
33:57Because I have to get rid of Meg.
33:59Okay.
34:00She has to go.
34:01The fact that James is down there throwing my name out boils my blood.
34:04Do you think I'm gonna keep Meg in the game now and make you stronger?
34:06No.
34:07I'm gonna take a direct shot and take out your numero dos.
34:10So irritating.
34:11But don't kill yourself about it, because it's over.
34:14Why do I find yours?
34:16It is the irony of it all.
34:18Make lemonade out of it.
34:19Find the best possible scenario.
34:33I'm sad as .
34:34No.
34:36Piss.
34:37You have no idea.
34:38Piss?
34:38I can't even, like, function right now.
34:41So I just realized I'm all the way around.
34:44Yeah.
34:45He's the last person that should've won that.
34:49Oh.
34:50One doubt, drink.
34:52Yes.
34:52James winning the veto this week is an enormous problem for me.
34:55Now I have to find a replacement nominee, and there are only five potential options,
34:58all of which are people that I'm working with in the house.
35:01So I'm gonna have to put someone up as a pawn, and we know when big brother, pawns go home.
35:05This is terrible.
35:06And so I'm just gonna put it out there, and this is, like, honestly, these are the only options I
35:09have.
35:10And I respect you enough, all of you enough, just to be very straight.
35:13These are my options.
35:14If I put up Liz or Austin, they're too big of targets.
35:17The only feasible option is you.
35:19Now here would be the logic, just so you know.
35:21Okay.
35:22You know they're never gonna vote against you.
35:23So you know you would have the votes.
35:24Mm-hmm.
35:25Like, how would you feel about that?
35:29Um...
35:30I feel like I'm a huge target, too, because I feel like everyone wants to get me and Liz out,
35:34because it's, like, we're a threesome.
35:35Or they wanna break up the threesome.
35:37Right.
35:38I just don't think, like, every time that Meg has gone on the block, she stays.
35:42No, but the problem is that Meg gives James, who's a very strong competitor, a vote.
35:46Rather than...
35:47Right.
35:47He's so much more powerful with her.
35:49Yeah.
35:49As a group, I wanna decide, like, so I just want you to know that if the target is Meg,
35:54the only option that is smart is you as a pawn.
35:58Unfortunately, that's the only way I guarantee Meg goes.
36:01Your sister in Austin...
36:02We've won too many comps.
36:03...have won too many comps, and Steve could get flipped.
36:06Whereas, um, Steve won't get flipped if it's you on the block.
36:09Okay, let me ask you this, Vanessa.
36:10Who are you more afraid of winning HOH next week? Johnny Mac or Meg?
36:14Obviously, Johnny Mac.
36:15Okay.
36:16I'm not scared of Meg at all.
36:17I can beat her in anything and everything.
36:19Johnny Mac, I cannot say the same.
36:21I'm really in a tough spot here.
36:23Us and the twins are not letting up about Johnny Mac needing to be the replacement nominee and target this
36:28week.
36:28However, I have this side deal that they know nothing about with Johnny, and I can't let them realize I
36:34really want Johnny to stay in the game.
36:36Do you think you guys can guarantee you'll beat Meg in an intellectual-type comp?
36:40A hundred and thirty percent.
36:42Her performances in them up to this point have been less than stellar.
36:45But then when is Meg ever gonna go home?
36:48She is going to float to the finals.
36:51We're never gonna be able to...how are we ever gonna take her out?
36:54I have made it abundantly clear that Meg is my target and what's best for my game.
36:58But the pressure that Austin and the twins are putting on me is causing me to question my initial decision.
37:04I think the play is, you put up Johnny Mac, and we just play a real good social game with
37:07the people that remain this week.
37:17Well, here we go.
37:19The more I've been thinking about it, I'm gonna have to talk to Vanessa for Meg's sake.
37:23I don't want to really do it, but I'm gonna have to if I ever want to give Meg a
37:28fighting chance to pull herself off that block.
37:31Come in.
37:34What's up?
37:35Um, just wanted to hash things out with you.
37:37Alrighty.
37:40I will just warn you.
37:41I'm just letting you know I'm not in the best mood.
37:44I just wanted to know where me and you stand at right now.
37:49The thing I'm trying to wrap my head around is like...
37:53Do I have something personal with you?
37:54Right.
37:55Listen, we could have worked together, but for whatever reason it never happened,
37:59now there's just so few people, my options were very limited.
38:01I thought of all people, you understood that it was just a game.
38:04Right.
38:04I will say that I never had anything personal with you until people came up and told me
38:08that you're saying, oh, I'm definitely, like, I fully expect to be your target.
38:12I would have expected you of all people to come tell me rather than tell everyone else.
38:16The thing is, I don't read into the game like you do.
38:19You literally, you remember every little piece and you just hold on to what it is,
38:24and you're trying to play a game too hard.
38:26When I went to HOH, two people's got to go up.
38:29I don't sit there and say, okay, let me think.
38:31So are you, like, insulting me right now?
38:32Is that what's going on? You're actually literally insulting me.
38:35No, I'm not insulting you.
38:36All right, man. I think it's best you go downstairs.
38:38Like, I'm going to get mad.
38:39How is...
38:39Like, you're literally telling me I'm playing the game too hard?
38:42Like, oh, my God.
38:42That's a respect thing.
38:44Who is the expert?
38:45Did you win, like, last season or something? I don't know.
38:47Did you want me to say you're not playing the game, Vanessa?
38:49No, you said you're playing the game too hard. That's a criticism.
38:51You said, I don't do it like that, so what you're doing is the right way,
38:54and what I'm doing is the wrong way.
38:54We're both here last time I checked, so we could both be right.
38:57I'm not trying to come up here and bash.
38:58I'm trying to get out what's going on.
39:01James, there isn't anything personal before this conversation.
39:04I don't know what else to tell you.
39:05You're safe this week.
39:07You want to make it clear how much of an enemy I am?
39:09All that does is incentivize me to send your number one home, which is Meg.
39:13So you're going to take it out on her for me?
39:15I just want you to know, so, like, the more you piss me off, the more you're locking her fate
39:19up.
39:48Really, my fate right now is in the hands of Vanessa.
39:51I'm feeling really nervous.
39:53I have no idea what she's about to do.
39:55You never know with Vanessa.
40:00James winning the veto this week was the least favorable situation for me.
40:04It leaves Meg up on the block and me needing to find a replacement nominee
40:07that ensures that she goes home, and that's a tough thing to do.
40:12So there has to be a replacement nominee.
40:15That's a fact, and there's definitely people in this house that want me out.
40:19So if I go up as a replacement nominee, there's a good chance I'm going back out the door to
40:23jury.
40:31Okay, everybody, it's time for the veto meeting.
40:47This is the veto meeting.
40:50Meg and I have been nominated for eviction, but I have the power to veto one of the nominations.
40:57Meg, I think you're an awesome girl.
41:00With that being said, I have decided to use the power of veto on myself.
41:09Vanessa, since I just vetoed one of your nominations for eviction,
41:13you will have to name a new house guest as a replacement nominee.
41:23First and foremost, I want to congratulate you, James.
41:25That was a really tough veto competition.
41:27Job well done.
41:29As far as finding a replacement nominee, guys, this is unbelievably difficult.
41:35There are only five other potential options for me,
41:38and I have to do the option that I feel is the best game move.
41:42And that's all this comes down to.
41:44So, unfortunately, Julia, please take a seat.
42:00This veto meeting is adjourned.
42:09I put Julia up as the replacement nominee because Meg has absolutely got to go.
42:13Her number one ally, James, made it extremely clear this week
42:16that I'm his number one target going into next week,
42:19and why would I leave his number one ally in the game if he's targeting me?
42:24It makes me extremely nervous being next to Meg on the block.
42:28Every time someone's been on the block with her, they've been sent packing.
42:32So, I really got to do what I got to do to stay in this house.
42:37This is the first time one of the twins has been up on the block four evictions a night.
42:41If I could pull on the right strings in the house, we could finally break up the Austin twin trio.
42:46They're a huge threat in this game, and they need to be taken out.
42:50Who will be evicted from the Big Brother house?
42:52Julia or Meg?
42:54Plus, it's a special double eviction episode.
42:57It's a week's worth of Big Brother in one hour.
43:00It all happens live tomorrow at 9, 8 central on Big Brother.
43:30Yup.
43:59This is our
44:00You
