Monte says oh I never talked to you about when Brittany came in here. You remember?
Taylor says oh this morning?
Monte says yeah this morning
Taylor says oh God, what happened?
Monte says so I guess from my speech she picked up that maybe during our first conversation there was more that I found out after whatever, so she comes up and she's like "yeah Monte I just wanted to check in and make sure that you hadn't heard anything else and if you had I'd just like to clear the air". So I'm like, well, I've heard more things that did not come from our conversation yesterday. So I just mentioned to her the whole thing that Turner talked about. Throwing you under the bus, about us getting closer, throwing you under the bus with the whole girls thing, and Alyssa under the bus, and all these final twos. And she was like... she never addressed the stuff about you, which was weird. She never said anything about that stuff. And I was like...I didn't want to press too hard about it because I didn't want to make it awkward but the only things that she talked about were, what did she say? Oh she said, first of all she said that she told Michael all this stuff, which she didn't. Turner did. So, that was lie number one. What else did she say. I'm trying to remember exactly what she was talking about. Oh, she was like, oh this is what she said. I was like I just wish you would've talked to me about these things as they were happening, if they were presented to you. She was like "oh, I wish I had done that last week with you and Taylor but I just thought it was all fluff anyway, and it didn't mean anything, and I just considered it to be more of that convenience store mentality" and I"m like yeah but whenever Michael was informed of something or approached he always was the first one to say something to us like...
Taylor says mmhm
Monte says especially with me which is why I felt so bad about everything that happened yesterday but
Taylor says he had to go, so
Monte says yeah yeah he had to go. It was his time. So I was like yeah but you didn't do that. She was like "ah yeah, but is there anything else Monte?" So you're fishing
Taylor says wait
Monte says for me to say stuff, so she can confirm or deny it and create her own spin on it
Taylor says right
Monte says I even asked her like did anything happen in the past 24 hours, any game talk, she's like no. Meanwhile, I know that you and Turner just talked to me about how she's trying to solidify these final twos, so to me it just doesn't. I don't know why she would exclude me in these conversations, and I think it's because I'm not eligible to win next week. It's her mindset of...
Taylor says even then, she swears up and down that Turner's her, well I mean. I guess to me she swears up and down that Turner's her target, but... and I guess that would make sense if she wants to win the game, like why would she sit final two with Turner?
Monte says yeah, but she tells me she wants to keep Turner
Taylor says that doesn't make any sense. Because she thinks you two are working together
Monte says probably, she's saying what everybody wants to hear
Taylor says yeah, we know how that goes
Monte says right, which makes me awfully concerned about her intentions, and what she would do. Because it just, and I even talked to her, I was like look I got all this information from other people, and they said that they're more than willing to address it because they know that it happened. So I was like, my thing is, cause she asked me what advice would I give her? I was like just be honest. If there's anything that you know, I think at this point, everything's out there so if you're just up front nad honest about it, I think people would actually open up conversations
Taylor says yeah just say what your path is
Monte says right, but if...
Taylor says everybody's game is out there
Monte says there's no more secret this, secret that. And again, this is what I also remember. She was throwing you under the bus. She was like, what did she say. She was like even when you and Turner were in the HOH room, Taylor was really trying to solidify the all girls thing in the Tiki room
Taylor says whaaat? okay
Monte says she kept saying that you were the initiator of things. Of like the final three with you Michael and Brittany. It was just a bunch of convoluted information. Like alright
Taylor says the final three with me, Michael, and Brittany was like week 3. And what else did I have. Those are the only people I trusted then. This all girls thing, and I'm telling you this, code of silence, I'm putting a lot into you Monte.
Monte says okay
Taylor says I trust you
Monte says yeah yeah yeah, my incubator, so
Taylor says okay, I'm not the one who tried to unite the three girls. Brittany is not the one who tried to unite the three girls
Monte says so it was Alyssa
Taylor says started in the bathroom. I did hold back some information when you asked me about it outside. Alyssa asked me in the bathroom and started saying like hey, wouldn't it be great if the three girls that never made it this far were the last three standing. I'm like that'd be great, that'd be cool. I come up here to the HOH room, Michael gets called to the DR, and that's when Alyssa really tries to like
Monte says bring it home
Taylor says yeah. I'm like could be a possibility. Nodding along. Brittany, she gets an idea and it's like "what about this?! and this could happen... dadadada" so then I think, a day later, two days later, that's when you asked me about it outside, that's when I was like not really a thing, cause it's not really... I think it's pretty obvious I was more locked, based on the decisions that I've made in this game so far, that I'm more locked in with you and Brittany as maybe up until this point, whatever the f***, than I'm locked in with them. That is where my game is at right now
Monte says my thing is, is like I don't care about the all girls, so I asked Alyssa about the same exact thing, and she pinned it on Brittany 100%. And I asked her, okay what about Taylor, and she was like nope Taylor was quiet, Taylor was sort of really chiming along, which is in line with what you told me. So I'm like okay, that makes a lot of sense. But she was pinning it entirely on Brittany, so like
Taylor says yeah
Monte says it's hard to figure out, cause I don't think Turner would make this stuff about Brittany saying all this stuff, because I just don't see what would be his incentive of trying to start something with her. Like if that was a reality, and why would he say something about it first before Brittany says anything, and why was Brittany acting so distant from us all last week, not mentioning a word about all this stuff, but Turner is actively saying this is what happened? To me, it gives me more trus tin Turner than it does in Brittany about that information, you know what I mean
Taylor says right, yeah
Monte says that's what I'm just deducing in all of this, and see her
Taylor says pry pry pry
Monte says pry, but then also lie, you know in saying that she did certain things
Taylor says a good pry and lie
Monte says yeah the good ol' pry and lie. Like that'll work. That'll get ya far
Taylor says I will say, with Alyssa, I don't know if she's coming to you trying to pitch something. Maybe she's gone to Turner trying to pitch something. But I think it's very clear that she has no game outside of Kyle, and I don't fault her for trying to start an all girls thing. It's all she could do. Brittany is, to my knowledge, from what Alyssa told me. Brittany is trying to use that to throw Alyssa under the bus. Brittany is trying to use that to throw me under the bus. And she didn't have to do that
Monte says it just makes me concerned because say there's a situation next week. Say we evict Alyssa this week, and there's a situation next week where Brittany, I think, I would say has a higher likelihood of winning something that's not physical than Alyssa, and the competitions tend to get more physical than mental. Say if she wins HOH right? I don't... I have no idea who she's putting up. I assume it's gonna be me and Turner, right?
Taylor says it's you and Turner.
Monte says but at that point I feel good about where you would vote in that regard, but like what if she puts up me and you, you know? And if that's a funny idea, because she hasn't been saying anything about a final two with me,s he's been throwing your name under the bus to me, and I'm sure she's doing the same to Turner
Taylor says and then sitting around saying all these final twos, but you know the real one is always you
Monte says right. SO you're actively creating final twos. So that's my issue there. Okay, say if Brittany goes this week. Alyssa, my word. I don't think she's gotten close to winning a competition thus far, and if there is some sort of miracle that she does win, I think we're back to square one anyway, right?
Taylor nods
Monte says but my thing is, the same thing last week with Terrance and Alyssa. It was like, well Terrance is more likely to win an HOH. He could've won that HOH with the whole colors and sh**, but Alyssa was last yet again. So like yes, if that were to happen where Brittany were to leave, it would be a sort of skating by situation yet again, which annoys me, but I'm also like okay, when it comes to beating somebody, I think Alyssa shows to be the most beatable, in all those scenarios. I know in a physical comp, she would probably do better than BRittany, but you would do better than her
Taylor says yes
Monte says so I feel good about that situation
Taylor says at this point you have the record to beat her in jury for sure
Monte says I would hope yea. I would hope by now. So the whole jury threat thing, and I think you could even probably make a case for that too if you win HOH next week, take a shot at
Taylor says win veto next week
Monte says yeah exactly
Taylor says take a shot at... mmhm. No matter who comes down, I guess I"m technically an option, but if Brittany or Alyssa takes themselves down, who are you putting up?
Monte says wait this week
Taylor says yeah
Monte says that's the part that is gripping me, but I think the shot would have to be... because if the likelihood I would think of somebody winning a competition. Because we've gotta think about this. There's five of us playing
Taylor says mmhm
Monte says so I think likelihood is
Taylor says you, me, or Turner, wins
Monte says exactly. But even at the fourth option, I think Brittany would probably catch Alyssa
Taylor says look at yesterday
Monte says right, exactly. And that was a physical comp. We were grinding through guck and all that sort of stuff. So the fact that she was even close to me, I was like holy sh**. So, anyway. That's, I think that's like the fourth. If Brittany takes herself down and Turner goes up, you and Brittany take the vote, and it just is what it is. And I would hope the following week
Taylor nods
Monte says again we have our agreement about that so I would hope everything would be fine there. And if not, then I've just gotta play
Taylor says we can figure out which of the two we want to take with us.
Monte says exactly, and I think that both of us, especially if you win HOH next week, which I think is all the likelihood, especially if you're going against Brittany and Alyssa. All the likelihood that you win. Add that to your resume. You can take the shot at Alyssa, Brittany, whatever have you
Taylor says whichever
Monte says that's another thing on the resume that you tack off, and we move on from there with the final three. All very strong potentials
Taylor says yeah
Monte says but it's all dependent on who wins the veto. If I win it, I'm actually, I don't even know if I want to win it to be honest with you, because then it puts me in a very compromised position, but that would be probably ideal for the both of us
Taylor says mmhm
Monte says because somehow I'm forced into a situation where you win, you pull Brittany down, or Brittany wins, Brittany pulls herself down, and then I gotta do what I have to do at that point. So that's how I see it, but I'm saying if... So yeah, so I think that's all potentials. I'm very open to whatever way it works out
Taylor says yeah
Monte says I think that's probably what's best for the both of us, you know what I mean?
Taylor says what did you tell Brittany when you put her up? Like did you tell her she is your target, did you tell her she's a pawn?
Monte says I didn't say anything about targets. I didn't say anything about pawns
Taylor nods
Monte says maybe I did say something about a pawn but I just left it very open, because I just don't want that to backfire and I went back on something. SO I was just like are you fine with going up? She was like I would do the same if I was in your position, so it felt good
Taylor says okay alright. Did you say something similar to Alyssa or does she just know
Monte says yeah, no, I didn't, and again like, with Alyssa it's almost obvious because she's been the furthest from my game this entire time, and she literally, subtly just mentioned it the week before so I think she kind of knew what was coming if I were to win. So yeah. So that's my thought. It's just the thing is. with Brittany, if noms stay the same and I have to drop the hammer on which one goes, she's just making it harder for me to feel comfortable keeping her, you know what I'm saying? And then you're talking about from a competitive standpoint
Taylor says now she is showing herself to be...
Monte says exactly. Especially later on in the game when things get more mental, so... yeah that's just how I'm feeling but. And it also didn't help that she's continuing to lie
Taylor says she's come to check in on me a couple times, when I was actually down and she just kind of sat there, and you know she chews on her lips. I know when she's thinking about something and wants to say something. And I was like I'm going through it. We can talk game later. She clearly wanted to do something, and I'm like... I don't have it. And obviously it bums me out for obvious reasons but yeah. With Alyssa, and I'm not saying this to protect her, or my allegiance or whatever, but she did tell me when she first pulled me into the car room, when Terrance and her were doing their office hours. She did say that in her meetings that the all girls alliance was brought to her, and Brittany was the one that brought it up and was throwing both of us under the bus. She told me not to say anything. She didn't tell me who told her anything. SO then I pulled her back later, cause I left and Turner was like can I go talk to you. I was like okay, then Turner told me everything
Monte says right, right
Taylor says and so, I didn't want to confirm or deny anything to Turner at that point because Alyssa said don't say anything. I was like I"m not gonna throw this girl under the bus when she has no game, we're kicking her when it's unnecessary. And if Brittany's the one throwing me under the bus I'm not gonna Spiderman point at anybody. When you went to the storage room I think, when we were downstairs cooking salmon, f*** what did she say? She said that Brittany is still throwing the both of us under the bus for this all girls alliance. I don't want to misquote what she said after that, but I think it was just like lay low, stay quiet, don't say anything about it. And again, that's not to say that, you know I'm working with you. I am working with you, period. And however the cards fall we'll figure out between Brittany/Turner/Alyssa. That is ours to figure out. I just don't want you to feel like she's being quiet about this. No
Monte says no no no. I appreciate it yeah. I don't feel any sort of way about it. I mean, you know. I think again like the transparency throughout this week that people show and being up front about conversations that are being had just helps me cause like at this point anything could happen with this damn veto and for crying out loud, if I happen to win it
Taylor says you'll be like "aw f***"
Monte says exactly and I am looking. I'm not looking for a reason, but if there is a reason that presents itself, which it always happens
Taylor says always does
Monte says then I have to use that to make certain moves and justify certain things, so yeah I'm likely to just keep laying back and hearing what people are saying and going from there
Taylor says I would too
Monte says Turner's always very transparent with me. He usually brings stuff to me if he gets presented with stuff. Especially from Brittany. Very quickly, so I feel good about that. I feel good about you. It's just Alyssa and Brittany are literally the ones I'm trying to figure out. I think from a competitive standpoint it's very clear that Alyssa's not in line, but from a game standpoint, it almost seems more obvious that Brittany is just out of whack
Taylor says yeah. It's weird. I don't know why she would do this to herself
Monte says right. But like continue to lie about... Why does she tell me that she told Michael. I know she didn't. You know?
Taylor says I'm just nosy now. I want to know what all her lies are. I'm not gonna lie. What has she told Michael that she hasn't told me? Will I find out this week> Stay tuned America? I'm like alright, maybe she ants to tell me. Maybe not. How does she know Turner. Why won't she tell Turner how she knows him?
Monte says wait, she said she knows him?
Taylor says yeah, weren't you... you were here for this when Turner said that
Monte says nah
Taylor says remember I said, we were here during the lockdown and she said she knows something really juicy about somebody, and I said that when Turner was here. It was like ass crack of dawn in the morning. And I was like you were at Dyre Fest and Brittany said she knows something really juicy about somebody here. And I wanna know what it is. I can't wait to find out what it is. And he said she told me really early in the game she recognized me and I was like oh, is it because of the series stuff that you went viral for? He goes no, he said she told him she knows who he is, recognized him, referenced a picture of him and Meghan. Knows about the rug shack, and referenced a specific local newspaper article. Like a town newspaper article. Not city type of sh**. And then she wouldn't tell him how she knows all this. If you know all the details, just tell me what it is. So...
Monte says that's kind of creepy actually. I'm kind of concerned about that
Taylor says mmhm recognized him before walking in. Like the moment before we walked through the door.
Monte says that is odd
Taylor says why can't you just tell him?
Monte says wow, that is, like I said very weird. I think the more that I'm talking to her, the more I'm getting sketched out by her and what the hell she's doing in this game, you know
Taylor says it doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. And I'm sorry but I don't think there's anybody in this game that she wins next to
Monte says no
Taylor says at this point in the game
Monte says yeah, there's nobody. Especially with Turner winning this HOH, booting Michael out on his HOH
Taylor says the veto mm mm
Monte says yeah there's not a chance, so, she's probably feeling like she's on the outs for sure
Taylor says and she is. She put herself there
Monte says yes. Very much so. Very much so. But, yeah
Taylor says anything I need to know about, information about me that I don't know about?
Monte laughs and says no, I think that was all she pretty much said. I mean she was... she was trying to do it subtly but she was like yeah Taylor's you know talking about this girls thing, and she's the one, and I'm like wow really. I'm like okay
Taylor says you know what, I'll tell you what. The closest I got when you two were talking last night was sitting out there and saying Alyssa you need to play your own game now. You need to get some skin in the game. You need to win something
Monte says well, that's a fact
Taylor says I was like Brittany has vetoes, I have an HOH, you need to get on the scoreboard
Monte says yeah
Taylor says that's the closest it got to let's go girls, let's go get this, let's go now. No, it was look at the scoreboard. That room alone has HOH, veto, majority in this house now. You need to step it up
Monte says mmhm
Taylor says if she came in here talking about Taylor wants us to be in an all girls alliance dadadada, no I just said b**** you need to step it up (laughs)
Monet says yeah she does. Cause I think even with Alyssa it's like. How you're sitting next to her, what's her speech gonna be, you know?
Taylor says "I'm best friends with all of you. It's been so fun here"
Monte says I'd like to think that we got reasonable people in the jury. They've been sitting in there for long enough that, if you're making a decision based on who you're friends with, for who wins the game, then
Taylor says humiliating
Monte says yeah like you're. I don't think anybody has done anything that egregious to the entire jury to make them feel like they f***ed them
Taylor says no. There's not a single move that did that to anybody in this game. Not in the jury
(feeds cut)
Monet says alright. So that to me was just. I feel like that whole week he was just...
