Michael talks to the cams after Monte and Turner leave
Michael says if Brittany's on the block and he isn't, obviously he's going to use the veto on Brittany. Her going home does not make sense for his game
Taylor says when you had your one on one with Alyssa, did you ask her about the all girls thing?
Monte says no she told me
Taylor says okay. I guess Turner told her, cause Turner told me. And... wow. It's exactly what I told you. I was in that room and Alyssa's making this pitch like wouldn't it be great if the three of us make it to the end? And I was like... sure. So Brittany is the one that's telling everybody about this apparently
Monte says she told Turner
Taylor says she told Turner. Turner told you. Then I guess Turner told... Alyssa gave it up to you
Monte says I think Turner had the conversation he had one on one with Alyssa first, and then he came up to me afterward like hey Alyssa wants to have a one on one, and I think at that point, she either suspected that I already knew because Turner told her he knew, and then she just started talking about it. I was like oh okay
Taylor says what did she say about it?
Monte says I don't remember the details of what she said, but it was like something about the girls wanting to work together but... this is what she said. She said Brittany, that morning, yesterday morning, tried to make a final two with her
Taylor chuckles and says news to me, okay
Monte says yeah so Brittany tried to make a final two with her that morning and said that she wants to see them go to the end, but that was pretty much the extent of what she said, so that's where the conflict arose, because Turner is now comparing notes with Alyssa and saying "oh she tried to do the same thing with me", so now Turner and Alyssa are both like yo I think Brittany has to go up on the block next week. I don't know why she's playing so hard. It makes no sense.
Taylor says that's what Turner said. Turner literally said like she didn't have a target on her. She's putting a target on herself
Monte says yes
Taylor says okay, I feel less crazy. I just wanted to make sure. What Alyssa... no... yesterday was so f***ing crazy. Alyssa told me that it was Brittany. Obviously she's gonna tell me that it's Brittany who's running her mouth about it. Turner told me that Brittany's ??
Monte says at least from what Turner told me, cause he came up to me like, because it was one of the nights where we had the goodbye messages in the backroom. It was when Brittany...
Taylor says yup. It was that night, remember she was in that DR for a long f***ing time
Monte says yeah right after she came out apparently she went straight to Turner proposing all of this
Taylor says right, it's almost like what the f***
Monte says and then the next day he told me about it. And then I kinda hinted it at you
Taylor says yeah
Monte says and thankfully you didn't tell him that I told you
Taylor says mm mm
Monte says because I don't want to ruin that relationship already, but like I was letting you know cause I was like I know you're tight with Brittany but she's doing stuff that doesn't make sense, and I don't know where she stands in her game to the point where she feels like she needs to do this , but before this week she probably wouldn't have been anybody's target
Taylor says never
Monte says but now it's like she has to go up on the block because now I think everybody knows abou tit. I think Turner was even talking about bringing it up to Michael, and once Michael finds out
Taylor says cause Turner did say that, I'm sure he told you this, but Turner did say that Brittany even threw Michael under the bus, to Turner
Monte says wait, to what extent
Taylor says as far as saying like "Michael's gotta go. I don't want to sit next to him"
Monte says oh yeah yeah yeah. I think that's why she wanted to agree to a final two with him, because she went down the list of everybody, and said she couldnt' beat anybody
Taylor says "so I wanna sit next to you!"
Monte says what kind of sense does that make. She must think Turner's a fool
Taylor says what she's been telling me for this whole past week is that she's so afraid that you and Turner are like this (crosses fingers). Like working together, going to the end together, final two together. All this stuff. And I'm just like we have... when we locked in for a four... he didn't know that you and me, Brittany, were going on the block. Why are you so afraid of Turner and Monte together? It just doesn't make sense.
Monte says I think she was just trying to create doubt with everybody. Taylor, just, just think about this. Turner came up to you, and told you about all the stuff I already told you. If I had a final two with him, do you think I'd be telling you this stuff?
Taylor says thank you
Monte says case solved. This is why... My actions. I always look at my actions and be like (exposes palms). So I think what she's trying to do, because she's telling Turner that she doesn't trust you because she thinks we're getting close, but then she's telling you that she doesn't trust me becuase she thinks that
Taylor says it's the same sh** that Terrance is doing. Telling me to take care of Brittany, and telling you to take care of Turner.
Monte says the thing is she's acting like people won't compare notes. Just like how Terrance...
Taylor says Terrance
Monte says hello...
Taylor says that's not going well
Monte says she probably thinks that by telilng Turner all of this. Even if I did have a final two, he would just tell me. It'll be between the two of us. But I don't have a final two with him. That's why I went to you and told you (laughs) Hello, here we are. THat's why Turner came up to you, telling you fresh off the press, but you already knew and thank God you didn't say that I told you
Taylor says I did not
Monte says cause that would've f***ed me with Turner
Taylor says I kept my mouth shut. I was just like, I felt distance between me and Brittany, and that's why... I smiled. I kept my mouth shut. He might feel like you already told me. I did not confirm that you already did. He did not ask me if you already did. He said that he already told you, and I was like "okay"
Monte says well, now you know. In full circle. Yeah, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Turner already told Michael, which is gonna be... I don't know what Michael's gonna do about it cause he can't win HOH tomorrow. But the only thing I think it changes is now Michael would probably be less
Taylor says ?? save her
Monte says yeah to save her . Which is good, because if she's against Alyssa on the block for whatever reason, then Brittany stays and the vote stays the same, and now she's either serving as the pawn or she's the target. To me, I don't think she needs to be a target
Taylor says right
Monte says because I don't think her game really affected anybody
Taylor says that's the thing. Even if our little, not really locked in final three, it's good for both of us, whether I trust her or not anymore. It still is good for us if she's in the game
Monte says yeah, and stays on the block. Because that means if one of us is HOH, that means that we're not going up on the block if she's on it. So next week for sure, and I'm keeping this between me and you, but my thought is Brittany and Alyssa if I win HOH. Because at this point she's given too much reason
Taylor says Turner kept telling me like she exposed your whole game, and I was like ehh. This all girls alliance was not my whole game. It was like... like a little. Do you remember Microsoft Word, the paper clip? Clippy? It was like Clippy would you like this, it was like mehh, I'm gonna keep typing. It's okay but I'm gonna keep typing. Ehh. No! I don't. I have been f***ed by an all girl alliance since day one. You think I'm really gonna be like "yeah! let's go!" After I've got a solid four. I feel good about you. I"m close with Brittany, and let's be f***ing rweal. Anybody that sits next to Brittany is gonna win the game, like. I'm not gonna... yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, f*** all that, and let's do this. It just doesn't make sense for my game. I don't make stupid moves. I'm quiet, but I don't make stupid f***ing moves here because everyone who's made a stupid move has one, been sitting next to me, and two, has gone out the door. Learn from other people's mistakes. So...
Monte says for me it's one of those pure examples of people talking too much. Like why are you doing all of this. All you had to do wsa sit back and say who you're putting up next week and they'd go home. Just go to bed and chill. I don't know why she's going about it this way. So the fact that she's... She probably felt the most distance with Turner and Alyssa, so this was her way of trying to get back in with them
Taylor says which is fine, and when I walked back here with Turner, I was like we don't ever talk game one on one. I was like Turner, let's f***ing go. All I do is talk game with you in a group setting, and our paths have crossed/been like this the whole time, and I'm like I'm not gonna try to force game on you because we all know what that is. And then he's like okay, well I have all this information, and I'm like let me hear what he's sharing, and here we are.
Monte says well, that's the report. Thank you for letting me about the whole Brittany thing
Taylor says yeah, I just...
Monte says have you talked to her at all?
Taylor says I asked her, my red flag was a couple days ago, I mean the distance that I felt was a red flag in the first place like I told you when we first talked about this forever ago. Second red flag was a couple days ago she comes up to me, like Jasmine would do. I don't know if she did this to you. We're talking, then a pause... "So you're HOH next week... who do you put up?" And I'm like (puzzled face) "What do you mean who do I put up?" You, me, Monte, and Turner, not Turner, but you, me, Monte, and Michael all said it's gonna be Turner and Alyssa next week, so Turner and Alyssa, and she's like okay okay
(Alyssa walks in, and then leaves)
Taylor says I was like what do you mean, it's Turner and Alyssa. She was like okay, okay. I'm like "were there other options?" She was like "no no no, we have all these options in front of us and I just want to see where your head is at". I was like "what do you mean?" She was like "with ALyssa" and I was like... you thought that was an actual thing? I was like no. I'm not gonna not put her up. She was clearly trying, and I don't like that
MOnte says trying to pry
Taylor says yes. We made a proposition. Why are you putting this on me? So not only do I feel like she was trying to pry, but I feel like she was trying to ge tme to say the words, if I"m HOH I will put up Alyssa and Turner, so she can go to Turner and go to Alyssa and say that, and I"m like, no this is a group decision. So... that's when I was like okay maybe Monte is right baout this. Maybe Turner didn't make this up. Maybe Terrance didn't tell Turner to tell MOnte to tell me
Monte says oh God no
Taylor says he would try, but. I'm not saying I didn't want to believe oyu, because you have not bullsh*t me, bullsh***ed me. I hope you have not
Monte says no, no. This is the reality of the situation. Like I don't. To me, I'm not good at making sh** up
Taylor says you gotta keep up with it
Monte says exactly. I'm not good at keeping up with it. I knwo exactlyw hat Turner told me, and I reported it. And that's it. That's all I got. My thing is. I just watch people's actions. The first thing that me and you saw was when we were uotside and we were talking about the four of us having a meet up, after her meditation "aw, I'm tired"
Taylor says weird. Weird
Monet says Michael would always rather be woken up to talk game than to sit there and nap
Tyalor says yep
Monte says that was red flag number one. Then red flag number two was when we were sitting on the hammock and she's asking me, "Monte but did you know". Like we've talked about this multiple times
Taylor says weird
Monte says weird
Taylor says like why aer you grilling him
Monte says yeah, now
Taylor says obviously I knew, I told you that she was suspicious about you and Turner. But why are you grilling this dude
Monte says yeah and not even like in a one on one setting but in a public setting to try to create some sort of narrative
Tyalor says right
MOnte says and then the third thing is she goin gup to TUrner syaing that ifnormation about the two of us getting too close, and then saying tha tthe girls alliance that youw ere like so easy to go along with it. This, that, and the third. Meanwhile, I know how you feel about her, and about the four
Taylor says thank you
Monte says so I'm like that doesn't seem like it makes sense. And now she's going to Alyssa trying to make a final two. It's just too much
Taylor says and literally, this is the truth. What I would tell her is yes, I am getting closer to Monte because I don't want this four, and you know, what I really wanted, the three, to be distant. I was like you and Michael are clearly
Monte says locked in
Taylor says yes, and I even say that, I say you guys are clearly to the entire house. Yall are together, and when I come around, I don't feel like a third wheel but people look at it like I"m not really part of it, so it's like, of course, if the four of us are gonna gel, we have to learn from the mistakes we had as the Leftovers, like no more of this telephone bullsh**. We've all gotta be close and come togehter, but that scared her. Which is really disappointing because we had a really good thing ahead of us
Monte says we did. And I was thinking like after Michael decided to leave you on the block, to take down Brittany, it made it more obvious to me that's their priority to each other
Monte says at the end of the day when I look at Brittany and i see her game, she feels like she's already got trust established with Michael, she feels like she' salready got trust established with you, and then probably the sam eiwth me but probably at a distance.
Taylor says definitely having distance with you moreso and then Turner and Alyssa are like a sola rsystem away
Monte says right so she's probably like yeah I gotta get them to not put me up this week
Taylor says by throwing us under the bus, okay
Monte says and Michael apparently
Taylor says yes. And she's doing that because she knows the entire house is gunning for him, which is not wrong, but like... When you are the person closest to that perosn, everybody's gonna look at you sideways when you start throwing tha person under the bus
MOnte syas yup
Taylor says case in point, the way you said me and her, and Turner too. Turner came to me and told me all this stuff
Monte says yeah. And I think the reason why he's doing that is because... he told me if the whole house figures out, I don't care because it's the truth
Taylor says yeah he said the same thing to me
Monte says he said he doesn't care what happens, I'll say it in front of everybody because this happened. So now that he's gotten the confirmtaion that she's doing the same thing with ALyssa, now it's even more reason to say like yo, she's playing real foul right now and it's obvious
Taylor says so, she touches the block next week
Monte says that's for me
Taylor says I'm saying, I mean look, if I"m HOH, I gotta sit on that cuase I'll figure it out, but if anybody else is HOH next week, her ass is on the block. Next to, either Turner or Alyssa depending on who wins
Monte says mmhm
Taylor says who are we voting out
Monte says for next week?
Taylor says yeah
Monte says if Alyssa and Brittany are on the block
Taylor says yeah
Monet saysI still think Alyssa
Taylor says I was hoping... cause it's still the same. Everything we laid out is still the same
Monte says Brittany may be acting a fool. It just gives me reason to put her up. It doesn't give me reason to evict her
Taylor says right, cause i"m not ?? sitting next to Alyssa
Monte says no, God no
Taylor says ?? Turner and Brittany are up. I told Turner, i didn't tell him I'm going to put him up, but I did tell him he might touch the block. I was like I can' tpromise I'm not gonna put you on the block. The options are so limited. I told him I can't promise I won't put you up, but I can promise you won't be my target. And he took that well. Would I target Brittany? that would be stupid for my game to target Brittany over Turner. In a perfect world, if somebody doesn't win the veto next week...
Monte says yes. Very much, cause I think if we don't, then we're gonna look like fools
Taylor says yeah
Monte says and if I win that veto, I'm using the sh**, and if I'm HOH, I'll do the f***ing thing, but my hope would be that I'm not public enemy #1 the following week. If I can have some reassurances from people, look like we're not coming after you after this week, then I'm 100% fine
Taylor says if I do that for you
Monte says 100%. Because I think for our games it would make sense to cover each other because the following week after that, at least we still have some insulation
Taylor says yep
Monte says as opposed to now you're the only one who hsa that big resume or whatever have you
Taylor says yeah
Monte says pretty much
Taylor says all of her bullsh**. I just don't think it makes sense. Just to get there
Monte says yeah
Taylor says and then let's be honest, it's you and me duking it out, with Brittany like... there
Monte says yeah. I'm completely fine with that 100%. Because I think at this point Brittany has not shown to be tha tmuch of a competition threat, and on top of that, I just don't think what would be the benefit of getting her out now, even after she's doing all this because everybody knows she's just talking bullsh**
Taylor says yeah, and then I got, you and me, we gotta go against Alyssa, we gotta go against Turner, stronger resume, and ALyssa has stronger connections. It's like... In the perfect world, (Terrance's) gone this week, (Michael's) gone next week. Then I'm fine, it's you, me, Turner, Brittany, and Alyssa. I don't give a f*** about bringing Turner and Alyssa and coming together.
Monte says that's not that big of a threat. Turner's really the biggest competition, but... if he's available the next week then we take that shot
Monte says we just go back and forth with these HOHs. cause I know you can beat those two girls
Taylor says easy
Monte says easy peasy lemon squeezy. I know you got that. And I think I can catch Turner at some point, but if I"m the one who wins HOH, we have to then protect each other, to make sure that the other one isn't coming after the next, so it does put a little bit of pressure on that HOH the following week
Taylor says it does
Monte says I'd rather we do that knowing that we took the right shot together from there.
Taylor says we do
Monte says I feel good about that plan
Taylor says I just wanted to make sure that you weren't like "f*** Brittany ?? apology, she goes out next week" I'm like no. Cause then it's liek Michael, Turner, Alyssa, no!
Monte says no, that's not necessary. I think it just gives us more reason to put her up on the block, and she's gonna say whatever she feels like she has to say to make us all feel good
Taylor says it's Terrance 2.0 now
Monte says but not as threatening as Terrance
Taylor says no
MOnte says she can stay. She might be a little bit disgruntled but
Taylor says that's fine
Monte says you gonna sit on that block
Taylor says just like I have, just like you have, just liek Alyssa will. Turner's the only one who hasn't sat ther eon eviction night, and... he will
Monte says he will. And I think now that Michael, once Turner goes to Micheal, if Michael doesn't have that same trust with Brittany, finally we'll have her on the block and see if, "you threw me under the bus, you were talking all this stuff, I'm not gonna use the power of voet"
Taylor says yeha
Monte say but if he doesn't win the power of veto
Taylor says Alyssa or Turner
Monte says oh no no no, if Michael doesn't win the power of veto
Taylor says oh, yeah
Monte says then the backdoor option right there. But if he does, then at least we know he won't be using it on Brittany. She stays up on the block next to the true target, the true target goes home. The next week, one o fus wins HOH, she goes up on the block yet again, true target, that person goes home. Go through the cycle
Taylor says wash, rinse, repeat
Monte says yeah. Now things don't always end up as planned, but I'd much rather have some sort of understanding between the two of us on how we're gonna move forward, and I think I understand where Turner's game is because I feel right now we're pretty much mano-e-mano. I understand where Turner's game is, and he has two HOHs. If he wins HOH tomorrow, my God. And I think he would put up Brittany and Alyssa.
Taylor says he said Brittany and Alyssa.
Monte says so I think now that I have that confirmation. Takes that shot at Alyssa, she goes home. Followign week, or he takes a shot at Michael perhaps. And the following week.
Taylor says I think everybody in the house other than Brittany has the same idea. It's Brittany and Alyssa, Brittany and Turner, o ryou know if Brittany wins, somebody and Alyssa, somebody and Turner. You, me, however it shakesout, and hope Michael doesn't win veto, and if he does, whoever's not ?? goes hiome. It's juts a clear game
Monte says I feel solid about that. I just want to make sure because you know Brittany, I know you've been close to her and all that sort of stuff but...
Taylor says yeah
Monte says this is now irrefutable evidence, you know what I mean?
Taylor says there's game and then there's personal. I'm not a stupid b**** (chuckles)
(They dap it up)
Taylor says maybe this is the family reunion
Monte says oh my God
Taylor says I'm joking. That's just gonna get me in trouble
