Monte, Taylor, Alyssa, Turner, and Brittany are up and in the kitchen
Brittany won the Power of Veto
...
Brittany goes to the storage room
Turner says he had it in his hand for like 20 seconds
...
Alyssa asks Turner what he thinks Monte is gonna do
Turner says put Taylor up and then it's him and Brittany to vote. I have no idea where anyone else is gonna vote, but you know how I'm gonna vote, so I'm gonna try to figure that out today
Alyssa says that's not gonna be fun
Turner says no. You're not as big of a threat
Alyssa says yeah, but Brittany's could tie the vote with Taylor
Turner says that would be up to Monte
Alyssa says yeah. This sucks
Turner says I choked that so hard. I was right there. Damn
Alyssa says right there. When they said congratulations, I heard Brittany scream "that's for you Michael!"
Turner says when she said "that's for you Michael", I was like what the f***
Taylor says you've had me really scared all week. And you know why
Brittany says it's hard when he left. It felt like everybody just distanced themselves from me. So I don't know what to think. I feel like I need to talk to everybody. I just... that's the toughest part
Taylor says I felt like I needed to talk to you, cause everybody was telling me that you were throwing me under the bus
Brittany says but why didn't you bring that to me?
Taylor says the things that they were saying were things that only I told you
Brittany says like what?
Taylor says like being in the HOH, it was like Taylor was the one getting the girls together, Taylor was the one doing this. Brittany's saying this
Brittany says but you weren't the one getting the girls together
Taylor says thank you
Brittany says I wouldn't say that
Taylor says we can talk about it in depth later cause I don't want to word vomit all this on you, but when I do tell you, you're gonna understand why I was like I need space
Brittany says no, and I get that. I totally get that too. I hope you understand that by not bringing it to me
Taylor says you felt like I...
Brittany says distancing, and now it feels convenient because I just won
Taylor says yup
Brittany says that's unfortunate for how I feel right now because it's like okay, I feel expendable. Like other people are believing what other people say when you know that's not the fact. Alyssa tried to bring us all together
Taylor agrees
Brittany says so in my mind if you heard that I did that, that's not a truth. Why would... I've been working with you since like the beginning. Why in the world... that' s obviously lies
Taylor says yes
Brittany says so you can see how in my mind you believed, I don't know who told you, but you chose to believe whoever told you over me, and I've been working with you since
Taylor says the beginning
Brittany says the beginning, and now that I won, now it's like... you know. I'm not saying. I'm not mad. Please don't think I'm mad, and I'm not thinking anything, but you just had ot know. It hurt when Michael left, then to feel like foop, best friends with Alyssa, best friends, everybody's hanging and it's like
Taylor says Alyssa?
Brittany says no just everybody not... I felt like the odd person out. I knew I had to win today, and that sucked when I was working with you, I'm working with Monte, why did I feel like I had to... and then I'm on the block? I thought we were a final four? a final three? why am I on the block? Why are other people believing other people than me and not even telling me what they heard? I don't get that. I've been completely clean and clear to anyone who's brought anything to my attention. So, I don't know. That's what's hard. Especially when it's lies. Monte said the same thing. Alyssa told him I was going around saying things, but...
Turner joins them
Turner leaves
Taylor says I'm happy for you that... do you want to do it later? or do you want to do it now?
Brittany says whenever you want Taylor. If it's... I'm not mad, I just want to understand what you heard, and I want to clear it up, cause I'll tell you if I said something, but
Taylor says I have a lot to get off my chest Brittany
Brittany says says okay, what sh*** are people talking about me
Taylor says me and Monte getting closer, when we were getting closer, I was doing everything to still reassure you that we were a thing
Brittany says that you and I?
Taylor says yes
Brittany says yeah yeah
Taylor says and I told you everything that Monte was telling me
Brittany says like
Taylor says literally all our conversations I would tell you
Brittany says okay, I'm trying to think
Taylor says like hey he's still feeling good about us, like it's a four, but it's still a three. I'm still maintaining this relationship so that it's us in the end. And every time I'd talk to you I'd say it's us in the end
Brittany says yeah. And I talked to him separately about the fact that at some point in time, Michael's gonna have to go. I knew that
Alyssa comes in
Alyssa says congratulations, and that it's getting so close to the end
Brittany says I know, that's for sure
Alyssa leaves
Taylor says I just to make sure that I never made you feel like I was abandoning you as he and I got closer
Brittany says oh no
Taylor says that was always really important to me
Brittany says I hope that wasn't the case, cause that never crossed my mind
Taylor says it was my fear as we got closer. I was like okay this is very visible, I know we talked about like okay,w e're kind of splitting up into duos, that's what it looks like
Brittany says no, no, I knew, you and I have always had multiple options, we've been in the same boat. We had the me, you, Michael; we had the me, you, Monte
Taylor says we called it the A, B, C
Brittany says me, you, potentially Alyssa
Taylor says which like, mm mm, okay
Brittany says so I figured probably, it made sense, I would want the me, you, Michael, you would want the me, you, Monte, and then me, you, Alyssa whoever knows
Taylor says and then however the house is playing out
Brittany says however that works out, that works out
Taylor says it was told to me
Brittany says by who?
Taylor says that you went straight to him and said that I'm only taking you to the end so I can beat you, and that you don't feel like you can beat me, and that you went to him to make a final two
Brittany laughs and says Turner. The person who's won three HOHs, and let's recall who he has put up every single time
Taylor says this is what I said to his face. how does that make any sense. How does she think she can take you to the final two, that doesn't make any sense
Brittany says why in the world, he's won the most comps. He's literally won the most things of the people here
Taylor says but then he told me about the all girls alliance, and he said that you were the one that told him that the all girls alliance existed
Brittany says what? no. Alyssa's gone and freaking telling Monte that I was throwing around, she's lying. She said that I started the all girls thing
Taylor says which we both know is not true
Brittany says we both know is not true. She's been clamoring back to us
Taylor says I've told Monte that. I've told Monte that it's not true that you started it. Even when I am being told that you are the one throwing me under the bus, I still make it clear to Monte before power and after power that he has. I said we were in a room. Alyssa told Monte that I was just quiet, and that you were really into it. Turner also said that you told him look at my HOH and how chaotic it was and that based on that it made you feel like you didn't want to work with me anymore because I'm bouncing all over the place and flakey
Brittany says are you kidding me?
Taylor says this is what I was told
Brittany says you know what? It's lies. It's fine. If you choose to believe them, you can believe them. That's utter bullsh**. I don't even know. I don't even talk to Turner. I don't even understand why that would even be a thing. We all know that he is very easily influenced and very chaotic. Why anyone could think that they can tell him anything would be beyond me, let alone say sh** like that. I don't know. I guess I'm trying to nicely say if you think that I would say that to Turner, you must really think that
Taylor says I'm f***ing stupid
Brittany says yeah, yeah. If you think... First of all, I would never say that stuff. Second of all, I would never say anything like that to Turner. Third of all, he's put me on the block three times. He's done nothing but lie to me. nothing but lie to me. Everything he's ever said to me has been a lie. He is a liar. Right now, I'm like not even internalizing the information that you're telling me because it's such bullsh**. What I'm internalizing is the fact that anyone would believe him over me, and the fact that I'm hearing about this right now. And the fact that my ass was on the block. Sounds like everyone was believing Turner, when I've been working and been close to you, and been close to Monte this whole time
Taylor says Turner told Michael all of this and that's what Michael was saying when he said everything to the house
Brittany says I know Michael didn't believe that. I think Michael was trying to warn me. Because you guys weren't. That's what I think. That's why ultimately I went... I'm not gonna talk about what I said in the DR, but I went I'm not actually mad at Michael anymore because Michael's the only who was actually telling me
Brittany tears up
Brittany says he knew he was going home, so he wanted to give me a head's up, cause no one else would
Taylor says Brittany, do you actually think you were gonna go home this week?
Brittany says this week? I didn't know. No one was talking to me. No one's talking to me. Monte told me he didn't have a target
Taylor says he told me he didn't have a target either
Brittany says and if everyone's believing... I just can't believe. If everything's coming back to Turner and people could see like how... I don't know. It just doesn't make sense
Taylor says let me tell you from my place
Brittany says yeah, what made you believe him?
Taylor says when you're told... I felt like there was distance between us. Truly before anybody was telling me anything, I felt like there was distance between us. And remember I kept asking you like, hey what's going on? Are we okay? What's going on? And it was like "nothing, it's fine, it's fine" I don't really feel that way. And I've never felt that way before with you
Brittany says and I understand that. I was feeling that same sort of way. And I'll admit that that a lot was on me. I feel like lately it's just been not winning these HOHs, getting so close, missing Stephen like crazy, I mean going through it. Asking myself is this worth it? Like am I cut out for this? Feeling like maybe I'm, the mental toughness that I need is not there. Just feeling tired
Taylor says you're talking to the right person. Yeah
Brittany says missing my person. And then of course, I knew Michael had to go, but I didn't expect him to go like that, and it's jus tbeen hard. And yeah, even before Michael left I checked in with him, I was like are things good with Taylor? I just want to make sure, because I felt that too, and I'm sorry if I made you feel that way because that was not my intention at all, and it had nothing to do with you. It had to do with, the stuff you can't see going on in my head, that honestly has more to do with outside this house than anything else
Taylor says I should've pressed harder then. Cause I made it about you and me when I should've asked what was happening with you, and I'ms orry for that
brittany says no, it's... and I think too it's like... we kind of started talking abou tit but then we didn't finish it. We had so many options, and we knew when the rubber was gonna hit the road
Taylor says was that when we were in the bathroom?
Brittany says yeah I forget when we were talking. Maybe you were on your bed, and I was sitting next to you, and you started to talk
Taylor says yeah, and you were like you know we need to talk. iwas like yep
Brittany says that's why I asked you who you would put up if you won HOH, and I didn't mean to offend you in any way, I was just like we've got so many different options, what are we going with?
Taylor says Brittany, that's what scared me
Brittany says Michael asked me, whod o you think Taylor would pu tup? I was like well, I'll ask her. That's where that was coming from. I think cause he was getting scared, and rightfully so
Taylor says about me? oh, about him in the house
Brittany says about us three
Taylor says cause the house was gonna put him up anyway
Brittany says I know. And he didn't have the awareness to know that that was gonna happen. You and I knew that was gonna happen. He did not have that awareness. Otherwise, eh wouldn't have kept his promises that he kept. He got freaking Terrance out. Terrance was targeting him but he could beat Terrance
Taylor says yeah... I want to... I'll tell you this, and obviously I will tell you everything, but before I get into everything, there are two people that I said this specifics of to. Monte and Michael
Brittany says mmhm
Taylor says after all the stuff with Turner came out. After Alyssa's telling me you're throwing me under the bus to Turner and Monte about an all girls alliance.
Brittany says Alyssa's telling you...
Taylor says that she's being told by Turner that you are throwing me out...
Brittany laughs
Taylor says I know... I know. But you understand why I've been scared
Brittany says yeah, why... now I... no one's talking to me. Cause everyone's spinning up this bullsh** to put a target on me. You know how that feels?
Taylor says yes
Brittany says then why. I understand it. I want to hear it
Taylor says that's why I wanted to talk to you
Brittany says yeah, and everyone just wanted to see if I'd go away, but I just won and I'm not going away, and now, you know, it's okay, but you just understand that's the situation I'm in right now
Taylor says yeah
Brittany says no it's fine, I'm just trying not to get angry right now
Taylor says you're allowed. I've been angry and hurt and confused for the past few days, but even in all that, what I'm telling you right now
Brittany says Turner, he was targeting you Taylor. He wanted you out. I just don't understand something that he says holds more weight than something I say
Taylor says which is why I told Michael after he was told everything. We were moving out of the HOH room, and Michael knows that I... we were told the same stuff, and he said "I just want to get on the same page real quick" and I said even if I can't trust Brittany "this is still our thing", and I said the same thing to Monte. I said "even if I can't trust Brittany this is still our thing". So I'll be damned if I'm working with Turner for all the reasons that you just said
Brittany says so our trust was broken because of one conversation that Turner said we had, which Turner has been targeting me the entire game, and I don't even like talk with him ever. Like when have you seen Turner and I hang out
Taylor says I was confused though, and scared
Brittany says there's conversations you've had with Michael. There's conversations you've had with Monte. Nothing with me. And I was the one that he was talking about
Taylor says because he's telling me that you are throwing me under the bus
Brittany says which is... like that doesn't even make sense
Taylor says that's why I go to other people to say what have you been told, what have you been told, what have you been told, what have you been told, what have you been told, and when the story lines up, it's like... I won't say lines up but when it's the same story, it's like, but how is this making sense?
Brittany says wait, they said that I said that too? Michael and Monte?
Taylor says that's what they are saying Turner had said
Brittany says okay, so it all comes back to Turner. I mean I will seriously pull him in right now, and we can all just talk about this. If that's what's needed. Like I don't want to make a scene, but like, actually you know what, I don't even... He's good. He's good. Cause he wanted Michael out, and then he wanted to paint a target on me, so it's just an easy boom boom, and then four. He's good. And what angers me is if he would've gotten one more cog in a wheel, no one would be telling me this right now
Taylor says that's true
Brittany says and I'd be going out the door right now
Taylor says that's not true
Brittany says how do I know that's not true? Cause it sounds like our trust got broken, and no one ever told me he was saying this sh** about me. Even though if you look, if you zoom out and you look at the relationships in this game, that makes utter nonsense that I would ever say anything like that to him. Like, I don't even stay up late enough to talk to him. We don't even hang out in the same rooms. I'm 32, and he's f***in whatever
Taylor says 23
Brittany says yo dude, like I don't talk to this guy. It doesn't make any sense. Look at the people in this house and line them up in the order of relationship, and who's at one end and who's at the other. And it's just ridiculous to me, the people I've been working with. You, Monte, and I know Michael didn't believe it. He was warning me. I know he didn't believe it because he had my back... would believe that over... even bringing it to my attention
Taylor says okay. Michael is the one that checked in with me to see how I felt about you. And I said even if this is stuff that I can't... even if Brittany has been lying to me, I'm not wavering. Cause that's who I've been in it with, and I know it seems convenient for me to tell you this now, I know it feels convenient. I've been struggling with it, and frankly I wanted to talk to you when we were sitting in the bathroom and you said you know we need to talk right? and I said yup! And you walked away and said all these lies people coming to me with things, me being you... you said all these lies people coming to me with things, it's real convenient, cause I'm close to Michael, and I was like yeah? Obviously I had things to get off my chest. I was coming down from the whole horror situation. So I have wanted to have this conversation with you. I also wanted to win the veto for myself, because I didn't know if you actually were coming for me
Brittany says Taylor that's...
Taylor says I know... and because I didn't know if you were actually... when you kept telling me that you were nervous that Monte and Turner were working together. I was like believe me, they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not. that's why I kept massaging that relationship between Monte and going back to you and all that stuff. I was like you have to believe me, they are not working together. He is with us. And then when Turner comes to me with this information, I'm like, was Brittany trying to make me feel like Monte and Turner are working together when Turner and Brittany are actually working together, and I was like that's ridiculous, but could it be possible. And that's why I've been quiet and scared. And that's why I felt like i had to win the veto today for myself. And that's why I'm still afraid to tell you more, cause I'm still scared about the possibility of you and Turner working together
Brittany says no. What would I need to say or do. Here's where I feel at a loss. I felt like we've been, what, today's day, I don't even know, 60 something?
Taylor says 66
Brittany says 66. I felt like we've been in lockstep, we've been working with each other when it didn't make sense. Remember the days when we had to hide that we were friends?
Taylor says yes!
Brittany says like that seems so foreign and so long ago but that's
Taylor says but it was the truth, we would scurry
Brittany says yes, and that seems like just sort of crazy, and I feel like, other than Michael, you and Michael were so close. I knew Michael would eventually have to go. You were the person. You were my ride or die
Taylor says yeah
Brittany says you are my ride or die. I don't understand how we could have all those days and then one thing that Turner says, which he, like Michael and I went to tell Turner about all the Kyle stuff. His initial reaction was I'll put up Kyle but Taylor still needs to get out
Taylor says I remember you guys told me that
Brittany says like, this guy... he wanted to... he knew about all of that, at first gut reaction, and he still wanted you out
Brittany says I don't get how we could have 50 something days of trust, knowing who he is, knowing he was targeting you. I mean, to me that makes me think you must be closer with him than me. Because why in the world would you believe him over me? I thought we had this built in understanding and trust. That's why I'm just trying to... I don't even care about the facts of that stuff because it's so utter nonsense. I'm just confused as to why you in particularly because we're so close. I could understand Alyssa believing Turner more, they're closer. I could even understand maybe Monte a little bit more because they founded the Leftovers together. Alyssa supposedly, Kyle whispered in her ear, although I don't believe anything she's saying now either based on what you're telling me, supposedly whispered "watch out for Monte and Turner", that's where my thinking that Monte and Turner were together
Taylor says that's what Kyle said to Alyssa?
Brittany says to Alyssa, and Alyssa told me before she went
Taylor says and that's why you were so worried?
Brittany says telling you like I could see you getting closer to Monte, and now you know look at these nominations. Turner doesn't hit the block. Even though Monte was totally locked in with us three. It would've been completely natural that it should be Turner and Alyssa going, if he was locked into us. That was the final confirmation. Okay. Like... It shouldn't even be ... cause veto ti doesn't even matter who goes up. It's a demonstration of who you're working with
Taylor says if I won the veto, one person would've been forced up on the block. Do you understand why I was afraid to tell you before this veto?
Brittany says I get it
Taylor says you get...
Brittany says but I also get that if Monte didn't want you to use it, you would've been put in a situation where it would've not been good for your game to have done it
Taylor says mm mm. Run through it. I'm telling my three closest allies in this game, two closest allies in this game excluding you. Michael and Monte. Even if this stuff is true. Even if Brittany's lying to me, I'm still with her. Who am I pulling down if I win the veto?
Brittany says I would hope it would've been me but... yeah I would've hoped it would've been me
Taylor says you can ask Monte, who I said. And that was the only situation where somebody would've been forced to go up in your place
Brittany says well I appreciate that. I...
Taylor says I'm sorry I waited until I felt like I could...
Brittany says I just wish we could've checked in. It would've nice to know before veto to have known. It would've been nice to not have felt the distance the past couple of days. It just, it felt like
Taylor says but did you feel the distance... I felt the distance before Michael left.
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says that's the only reason why I thought is there something here? Because it was before Turner told me anything. It was before Alyssa told me anything. It was before I started asking Monte questions
Brittany says and that's my own not being able to trying really hard to just get my mental sh** together
Taylor says that was me being a ??
Brittany says this is hard. And just knowing... trying to prepare myself for losing Michael too. It's just hard. He's a good friend. He was there when no one else was. And that's why it sucks cause the moment he's gone it's like distance, and no one else is here. He was there when no one else was. I even had that thought last night like man, Taylor knows this feeling more than anybody. And yet... I don't know
Taylor says can I also say, my... I tried to check in. I came to you, I tried to check in
Brittany says when?
Taylor says after he was gone
Brittany says oh initially. Sorry, I was just
Taylor says that night
Brittany says I was just thinking yesterday. It's fine
Taylor says you know I give people space when they're going through stuff... You really think I was gonna vote you out?
Brittany says I don't know. I've been hearing so many things about so many people where it sounds like everybody is working together, and everyone is just going toward the winds of convenience
Taylor chuckles and says "convenience store".
Brittany says literally it feels like that. I talked about it in a certain room. I said I literally don't know who to trust in this house because I have heard a million other things. I think the only difference is, and I was talking about this with Monte, is that I hear these things and I don't let them influence me because I think they're just saying that in case somebody blah blah blah. Whereas everybody else is taking Father Turner as truth. If he tells he showered he'd be lying. I guess I just assume that everybody is seeing the utter nonsense that I am seeing, and I guess that is not the case. Because they probably haven't been targeted by him, like I have been targeted by him. But it would take one second for you to look at, okay, why is Turner saying this about Brittany? IF they're so close, why the f*** does she end up on the block every time she wins HOH? To me? If I heard something like that it'd be like "okay, spam filter". That doesn't mean anything. Like if I heard him saying anything about you, that you were targeting me or something, I'd be like that's bullsh**. I know he was targeting her. He's gonna try to drive a wedge into us. I'm not gonna... I trust the word of the people I've been working with and the trust I've built. I don't just take one random conversation, you know what I mean?
Taylor says mmhm
Brittany says I don't know. And so that makes me only think that everybody automatically believes him or you must be closer with him than me, because he says one thing and people choose to believe him over even bringing it to my attention, and I would only do that if I trusted the other person more. So that's where my mindset is, like okay, interesting. If people are believing what Turner says then they must trust him more. Which means that I am on the outskirts. Which must mean they don't trust me. You see the logic that I... where I'm going? Because I mean I was having the same conversation with Monte last night, and I guess it's just the way that I operate. He was like oh, umm, I forget what it even was f***ing about. Something with Alyssa. I was like okay we both know that that was... she was coming to us, clamoring to us. And I would think that anybody could see,e specially from Leftovers that she came in from Dyre Fest, she's trying to do something. She was frantic trying to talk to us. What are we gonna do? Sorry, take a ticket, we already have too many alliances, you know, like get in line. Is that literally what we're supposed to say? No, you and I sit silently, girls, yeah yeah yeah. You and I know it's bullsh**. We were in the same conversation and we know it's bullsh**. We know it's the third option if we find ourselves in that situation, but it's not something we're pursuing. In my mind, I don't think I have to go f***ing start drama and mentioning. Why would I need to go run to Monte and saying there's a girls alliance. That's a spam filter. That's fluff that doesn't need to... it's not real, she started it, I don't need to say anything. Of course she goes, runs, and says Brittany's starting all this stuff. And uses it against. I guess I'm realizing that I'm one of the few people that f***ing keeps their mouths closed in this house, and because I'm actually keeping spam out and not propagating things that are lies, and thinking I don't need to go tell this person that because that's utter bullsh**, why would I start something, people are thinking that it's on me
Taylor says then people think, then people can make up their own and put it on you
Brittany says and you can see how utter frustrating that is, and then it's like what have I done... have all my efforts the past 66 days of building trust with people completely flown out the window because actually I'm trying to only give out information that is factual. That means when I bring something to somebody like I think Turner and Monte are working together, it is because there are multiple things that have checked those boxes
Taylor says and I was trying to show you
Brittany says I could still be wrong, I don't know, you know, I could still be wrong
Taylor says I was trying to show you that I was trying to strengthen our options by staying close with Monte, cause I did believe in... I did believe in the three of us. Cause I saw how things were gonna play out with Michael. That's not to say that I didn't want to be a good friend to Michael. Listen, you and I had different relationships with him. You were closer to him
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says as much as I wanted to be closer to you, you were closer to him
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says so I felt like that was both of our responsibilities like, we manage A and B
Brittany says yeah, and that's why... yeah. That's why it was... that's why it was hard. And everyone thinks... I'm not negating, Michael's a great player. He's a great competition winner. He had so many blindspots. He did not realize that people would break on him. He didn't realize that. So, and that's on him. And that's why I had to pull away, because it's like okay, none of us can win against you, and he didn't see the game, because no one was factual to him, and honestly I feel like, I feel in a lot of ways, no one's been factual to me. I told Monte this. I was like there's so many things that people would say to me because they want an insurance policy to Michael
Taylor says that's what you said in the bathroom
Brittany says yep. So many things, and I'm trying to sus out now
Taylor says same
Brittany says ... that I am here alone, what are people actually saying to me because they want to work with me, what are people actually saying to me because they trust me, what are people not saying to me because they want to check and see if I win this veto first. That's why these past couple days were so crucial to me. Who's going to talk to me. Who's going to be there for me. Because I am at my worst. And when I was at my worst, Michael was there
Brittany tears up
Taylor says that felt like my role, because for a long time I feel like it was the three of us. Until very very recently, I felt like it was the three of us... wasn't always in lockstep but I thought our friendship was a trio when it was more-so a duo. I didn't hold that against... saw it for what it was, it was like individual relationships with someone else. But, I should have and could have done more to be what Michael was, but because I was so used to Michael being more of the friend that is very present in comforts, and I'm the friend that is distant and checks in, I'm sorry that I was not what you needed
Brittany says no I get that, and I'm also not expecting you to just be able to read my mind, it's just... it's just hard. You know how hard it is. You remember Joseph. He put you through the ringer
Taylor says yup
Brittany says and I'm still trying to wrestle because it felt like in the moment that he was trying to betray me. I didn't know what he was even referencing, because now I'm recognizing what he was saying were like... I though he was saying, because I told him that Alyssa had approached me about stuff, and that that was bogus, I just mentioned that like can you believe that that's a thing? She tried to get me, her and Michael to be a thing. I literally was in a room where she was trying to make me, her, and Michael be a thing, and then Michael left to go to DR, you came up, and then she tried to make me, you, her a thing. I was like this is such bullsh**
Taylor says and then when we were in there talking she was like yeah, we'll bring Michael in
Brittany says such bullsh**, and I was like you're literally just... who's the next person who's randomly gonna come into the room, are they gonna be in a final three too? Like, in my mind. That's just what's so stupid, because in my mind I'm like spam, trash, delete. Sure
Taylor says see in my mind I'm thinking, am I crazy?
Brittany says but you knew that was bullsh** as much as I knew that was bullsh**
Taylor says yes
Brittany says when you were sitting there
Taylor says what I'm saying it... and I feel dumb saying it out loud to your face. But when Turner is saying he knows there was a all girls alliance pitch. That you were the one saying I'm the one trying to make it a real thing, that you're saying that I'm wishy washy and flaky, and that you exposed that you and I have a final two
Brittany says you understand that these are things he could just try to make up based on the fact that we have been friends forever right? Like he's totally pulling a Jasmine. Remember Jasmine was like "you guys are working together!" It was like okay
Taylor says like okay and.. .cause we spend time together?
Brittany says how does that benefit. That benefits Turner. We're all turning on each other? Guess who we're not looking at. Him... and Monte. We know the truth. How could he convince you of something otherwise?
Taylor says please, please. I need you to tell me the whole truth. Please tell me you're not working with him
Brittany says I am not. What more do I need to... Do I need to slice off my freaking arm? How in the world (inhales). I'm sorry, I'm trying not to get mad. How does one work with someone when that person puts them on the block every single time they're HOH. Please, tell me. Like I don't understand
Taylor says I trusted Joseph with a lot of my game, but I trusted you with my whole game. Trust period. Not past tense. Trust. And after whatever happened with Joseph at Dyre Fest, do you understand why I'm really really scared? Do you I'm really scared?
Brittany says I do. I do understand. Do you understand how I can't believe that Turner saying these things to you would hold more weight. Like, here's how I interpret it. If Turner came to me saying oh Taylor's saying blah blah blah blah blah about you, blah blah blah blah blah. I'd be like okay okay, and then I'd come to you
Taylor says "do you believe all this?"
Brittany says "Taylor, oh my God, guess what just happened, Turner said this this and this, can you believe it? what bullsh**", we'd laugh at it in the hammock. That is literally the way I would process that same information, but it's feeling like for you, you sat on it, believed it, talked about it with other people, and then waited until I had veto to mention it to me.
Taylor says that's fair
Brittany says it feels like how in the world... I honestly don't know how to build trust with you if the 66 days of trust, like there's nothing more I can do. There's literally nothing more I can do. Like it feels like 66 days of trust and friendship, one conversation Turner, froop. Whereas to me, if I heard that stuff, it would be spam filter, laugh about it later, can you believe the sh** he's pulling?
Taylor says mmhm
Brittany says because I would believe you over Turner
Taylor says I'm so... I will tell you when you talk to Monte about using the veto. Obviously it's gonna happen. You can ask him if I said I would still work with you. After hearing about this. You can ask him what I pitched about if I were to use the veto, and who I said I would take down. And I will not talk to him for the rest of the day until you've talked to him. So you don't feel like I'm planting seeds, prepping things, any of that
Brittany says no, I believe that. Because I believe you. You know what I mean? I just question why now. Why not... when did this all happen. I don't know... no one's been telling me jack sh**. When did this even... rumors even start. Like I don't even know
Taylor says when Alyssa and what's his name, Terrance were on the block, and I'm mostly dealing with Terrance's... that's another thing. I've been very upset with how a lot of the stuff with Terrance went down. So I walk out of a very long conversation I had with Terrance, Alyssa pulls me in here and says in my one on ones, I've been told that Brittany is telling Turner that you, Taylor exposed the all girls alliance. I was like that doesn't make any sense. What?
Brittany says so the two common denominators here. Let's just zoom out a little bit. Uh, hmm, let's see, um, have been friends since the beginning. Went to Dyre Fest together. Like... that's where you see how I feel at a loss, but I'm like okay, not only am I filtering out bogus information because I see it for what it is, I don't just believe everything that I hear. I think okay, what would be the motive behind that. Who's trying to protect who? Turner and Alyssa are spinning up stuff to get us to target each other,s o that they're okay. So that we believe them. Who broke... who broke Leftovers? He put you and I up
Taylor says let's just walk through this too, logically. Which, I don't have to say to you. What sense does it make for me, to work with Turner, for the same reason that you just said?
Brittany says yeah. So why are you? Why does Monte? I know Michael didn't believe it. He probably said he might've said whatever he needed to do. I know he did not believe any of that sh** because I... he just knows that I wouldn't do that. He just knows. I know his mentality and how he thinks about the game, that he would not believe that something like that would actually happen. Do you see it that way? Because I see it that way
Taylor says I see it that way. I'm also mad that he wouldn't just say that to me. You're saying he wouldn't say that to me?
Brittany says I mean based on how... I would think that, before day 65, but based on everything he was trying to do to stay here
Taylor says this was moving out of the HOH room
Brittany says I know but I could see how he might not go to those lengths. He knows if he ever goes up on the block it's gonna be up against me. I just know him that he would not believe all that bullsh**. Because I know he, I know he would've done whatever he could've to protect me. When his belt broke, he turned to me like "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry". Like he was... it was only there at the very end that it felt like he was turning, and I felt that in the moment, but now I'm actually realizing it was the biggest blessing in disguise because it clued me in what everyone else who I was working with wasn't telling me
Taylor says by everyone else, you mean me
Brittany says and Monte
Taylor nods
Brittany says and Alyssa's acting like she was good with me. I knew that was bogus, but now I realize that she's been throwing my name around to pretty much anyone she can talk about. Turner I never expected, because I was never working with him. He always put me up. That's why I can not believe like. I don't know, I guess, I don't mean to be mean, but I guess I just give you guys a little bit more credit than that to recognize like what are you hearing from people, and does that check out relationship wise. Does that check out trust wise? I don't know. And that's fine. Please choose whatever. I'll talk to... I can say this in front of Turner. It doesn't make any sense. We aren't even... The actions speak louder than the words
Taylor says the action being me not telling you
Brittany says um, no, the action being Monte not putting up Turner, and putting up me, right? Because if we were all three good, then you and Monte would've brought this to my attention. Like oh my God, guess what bullsh** Turner's telling about you. Obviously you guys both know because of his action of putting me on the block three times. You would know that we're not close. So the fact that he's trying to spin up sh**. To me, that would be pretty obvious, that that's a lie. Obvious to create that chaos so when he does that you don't hold it against him, you're mad at Brittany. Thank you Turner for putting Brittany up, let's get her out
Taylor says me?
Brittany says no no, he's planting those seeds. That's what he's trying to do. He's trying to create diversion within us, so that we'll vote each other out, and not him and Alyssa. But that is just Big Brother strategy 101. Zoom out and you see the connections and the lack thereof, and the people who don't have connections, he's spewing lies about. I don't know. I feel at a loss, because it's like damn, if people are gonna believe that, there's nothing I can do. No amount of days of trust that I've built, no amount of action that I've put into things, there's nothing that I can do to overcome that then. I don't know what else to do. other than to have this conversation with you right now, now that I know what he was saying. I couldn't have that conversation with you beforehand because I didn't know he was saying that jacksh**. If that was a thing, I could've talked to you about it, but because it's a lie, I didn't know it was a thing. No one's f***ing telling me anything. I can't talk about it
Taylor says it's hard because I have no other actions to show you
Brittany says no
Taylor says and I can tell you what I would have done. I can tell you what I told Monte I was going to do if I won, but I don't have the power, I don't have the action, I didn't do any of it.
Brittany says no, and I understand that. I understand that. I guess I'll just never quite know why...
Taylor says I feel like Jasmine saying it now, but when you watch back you'll see that...
Brittany says yeah, I just want to know what I could've done differently that would've made people come to me first as opposed to keep it from me. You know what I mean? Like what did I do? Am I sketchy? Like what... no seriously though. Like why? I guess I'm taking it personally. Like what about me made people believe him and not even come to me?
Taylor says fear. For me, fear. Because what if. I know it doesn't make any sense. Nothing in this game makes sense Brittany. But what i fin the off chance, you were working with Turner, and I do come to you and I tell you all these things, and they go okay great, we only have five people, new target
Brittany says yeah, I understand that. I could see how that would be
Taylor says the hard thing about this is I'm trying to tell you the truth without making it sound or feel like lip service
Brittany says no, I get that
Taylor says and as I'm saying these things out loud, I'm realizing, it's just gonna sound like lip service, and you know how I am. I'm quieter, and I don't like having information. I told you that with all the Terrance stuff. I was like "I know too much, I don't like this. I know too much"
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says because I don't wanna know. With Terrance saying a bunch of sh** that I didn't want to know
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says or believe. And that is where it's hard for me to communicate that because I will hold onto things that I don't beleive and not act on them, but in not acting on them, I understand how that can seem like an action in itself in this house
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says the only thing I could've done was gun for the veto and win
Brittany says yea
Taylor says that's the only way that I could've... I mean it would've been perfect
Brittany says and I get that. I realize that with you I feel close enough that if I'd heard this stuff, say the roles were reversed. Because we're close, I feel like I'd have been like "Taylor, guess what, Turner's trying to; Turner talked to me for the first time ever, and wants me to blah blah blah about you"
Taylor says that's why I'm like there's no f***ing way this is true
Brittany says I know. So I was like okay he's talking to me for the first time veer. He said blah blah blah about you. I know this is bullsh**. I just want you to know. With Monte I don't feel quite as close as I do to you. Still close, but not quite as close. That when I hear Alyssa throwing around his name and stuff like that, I just think you know what I don't believe anything that she says. She's not gonna win, it's not a problem. I just think okay, you know what, spam filter. Delete. And I don't mention anything to him. That almost feels like how you're... you didn't believe, I didn't believe it, but you keep it and you don't share because you don't want to pro... I don't want to propagate in this information. And so I understand. I can put myself. Because i have felt that way with other people, I can put myself in your shoes and understand okay, maybe that's why you didn't mean anything by it.
Taylor says it's really scary when multiple people tell you that your closest ally is planting seeds
Brittany says yeah, I get that, but it sounds like it's tracking back to one person. Who's just spreading misinformation
Taylor says which is why... I wanted to be the one to win the veto, because that was (snaps) done. Now it's like... either of us is expendable now. And that's just...
Brittany says I appreciate you telling me now. What I don't understand... is there anything else, please Taylor, like is there anything else you need me to know? Because if there are lies out there I can't do anything about them, and I don't know, like this f***ing sucks. Like I don't know. It totally makes sense, like I get it from a strategy point of view. It would be so easy okay get Michael out of the house. We all know that needed to happen... there's gotta be a reason Brittany needs to trail after right? I'm not working with Brittany, so let's plant seeds about Brittany with their closest allies. They'll start believing them. They'll want to kick her out before me. You can see how that would be the rationale that a Turner would have.
Taylor says yes
Brittany says you see how it started to work
Taylor says on the outside
Brittany says and how it would've been a convenience to let it work. Should I not have won the veto, and now I'm hearing, should you not have won the veto, which I would've really appreciated if you would've used it on me
Taylor says that's not a question
Brittany says I know
Taylor says you know that. That's not a question
Brittany says I know. You know like, and I'm not blaming you, but that's how these seeds work. When people start planting lies. That's how they work. They grow and they fester, and he's smart. He's good at the Chinese checkers. He sees x amount of plays out
Taylor says yeah
Brittany says he sees, okay I need to have a reason. I need to start planting some stuff,. I need to start having a reason. I mean just like we used to do with the Leftovers. "Five Swatters, oh", and use it, you know. So that there was some reason that it made sense that we evicted you. Not because that actual reason. That's why I could tell, Monte's like oh, we didn't communicate, I'm like okay, we used to do this to people. We used to do this to people. I can see right through it, you know? I don't know. It's smart. I mean I have to admire it as a gameplay move. It's just, it sucks. You're like aw man. What is one supposed to do to combat that. When A, they don't know. I don't even know what kind of conversation to have with you because I don't even know that lies are being said about me. How am I supposed to know that something's wrong until Michael gives me a heads up warning
Taylor says that felt like a betrayal
Brittany says that felt like a betrayal. You can see why I was so upset. Like why is MIchael spreading lies baout me. And it took me later to be like wait... I literally, I don't do this, I've done this twice in my whole 66 days here. I rang into DR and said can I give a follow up statement, because I've calmed down now, and I actually don't think that that was him betraying me. I think it was actually... oh man, I can't talk about it without crying.
Brittany tears up
Brittany says I think it was a heads up
Taylor says I don't know if that heads up would work, if I didn't know everything to
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says because of conversations that he and I had
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says you understand now?
Brittany says no, and I appreciate you telling me now. Wish it could've come sooner, but I understand.
Taylor says you know how scary it is thinking could this be true?
Brittany says I understand. I just hope you can set aside that fear for a second and zoom out and look at the facts and the logic of it, which I know is very hard. You're talking to the most emotional person in this house right now. It is very hard to do that
Taylor says that's why I've been telling Monte this whole time "whatever". True or not, don't care, these are my people.
Brittany says yeah. Yeah
Taylor says it's like my first week in the house again. Why would I tell you to go fact check something if it's not true
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says I said that to Monte in this room. I said that to Michael in his room in HOH while we were moving out
Brittany says yeah... I just want to make sure I have an understanding of the full situation. Because it's hard for me to prepare how we go, where we go from here
Taylor says mmhm. I feel like I am going up
Brittany says you? Why?
Taylor says because you've been giving me these warnings about Monte and Turner working together, and I have been trusting so much in Monte. I haven't been spilling all game and everything. A, B, C. What I told you earlier. A, B, C, it's always you and me in the end. But because of B, I've established trust with Monte. I've told him. I was like you know who my people are. It's you and Brittany, those are who my people are. But I'm just scared, Brittany, I'm just scared. There's only five people. You understand why I'm just scared. Cause you don't know how things can get rearranged
Brittany says no I hear ya. God, it sounds like I had a whole fake game going on in everyone else's minds that I had no idea about. You know how angry and silly and ridiculous it sounds to hear other people's perceptions. Like if people believe what he was saying, I don't know. It's just funny to me. To think that you guys thought that I was playing that game, when I'm just sitting over here like... missing my husband, it just kind of feels a little stupid to me. Not stupid, but you know, stupid sounding to me that it's like okay, I'm glad anyone would give me that much credit
Taylor says like me in the beginning
Brittany says but also like yeah, and also it's like well if you look at the f... that's why I'm like I don't just listen to the fluff. Everyone gets distracted by the fluff. Look at the actions. Look at the fact that Turner's won three HOHs, and I've been up every single time. Why in the world would anyone believe... I don't know. We've already talked about it. That's what I look at. And I also look at the actions of Monte. He put me up. I need to have this full conversation with him because I guess Turner must be in his ear too.
Taylor says yeah
Brittany says which we talked a little bit about that cause I told him. He was like Turner said you guys have a final two. I was like that literally makes no sense. Of course it was after the fact, so...
Taylor says Monte told you that Turner said you two have a final two?
Brittany says after I was on the block, yeah. So... So how do we move forward? Is there a way that we could just... We cleared this up. I hold nothing against you. You don't hold it against me
Taylor says I don't want to
Brittany says we know it was lies. Done. Monte's smart. I can not go home this week.
Taylor says Monte and you can't go home this week
Brittany says who objectively would prevent him from being able to win things the most?
Taylor says Turner's been talking a lot lately about how last season Xavier should've taken Kyland to the end and not Derek F
Brittany says hmm, why would he be talking a lot about that? hmm... I wonder why. I wonder why he'd be doing that. I wonder why he'd also be saying yeah jury management, Paul should've won. Yeah it's stupid when jury people don't see blah blah blah. It's so funny. You remember that conversation the other day? I was just biting my tongue. I was like actually jury management is the thing and when you play sloppy and when you create a bunch of lies and when do... when you pull bullsh**, that's not respectable in my opinion. It just isn't. It isn't respectable. Like, there's winning this game at all costs, and then there's doing it in a way that deserves to win. Especially, it was so funny, and even when he said it I wasn't even thinking that, I didn't know he was spreading all these crazy lies about me but, you can't pull the sh** that he's pulling. He's like trying to play a Paul game. You can't pull the sh** that he's pulling and then expect people to not be upset about it or hold it against you
Taylor says I didn't see either the Paul seasons, but I'm following
Brittany says Paul played a really great game, but he got to the finals, two chairs
Taylor says and he lost twice.
Brittany says and he lost twice You don't... because people were pissed at him in jury. People like... say like me, who's like he spread a bunch of lies, he didn't tell the truth, he this and that, and it's up against Paul and somebody, and then you're like okay Paul put out a lot lies about me, I'm gonna give it to the other person. They were a bitter jury. I don't think there's any such thing as a bitter jury because there's a huge component of this game, which is jury mangement. That's why I always got so upset and frustrated for how many hits I took for the team when Leftovers cause it's like okay Indy's mad at me, Jasmine's mad at me. I'm taking these hits for the Leftovers, knowing that they've got my back, so that by the end, they'll be there, and they'll understand my game, but instead they let me take those early hits so they could then turn on me and spread lies about me so that would ruin my other chances. It's really smart. I admire it. I just would not reward it. Cause there's gotta be consequences to those actions,. And especially, you and I know as women, if we did that sh**, we'd be crucified for it
Taylor says gossiping b****es
Brittany says no seriously, but if they do it, they're like oh wow what a strong, smart move. Yeah I can set that aside, and I'm gonna reward you and give you my vote. No. If you pull that sh** I am not rewarding you and giving you that vote and you will lose just like Paul. Because you played a Paul game. I know I wen toff on a tangent, but because those "strategies" are not available to someone like you and I. Because we do it... that's why I'm so careful. I filter out stuff because I don't wanna propagate it because if it gets around, and it was false, I don't want to spread false information. I gut check it multiple times. That's what served us well at the beginning of the game, and that's what's, I would think, would continue to serve us well now. The only reason we're having to deal with this bullsh** is because Leftovers didn't stick together after Dyre Fest
Taylor says specifically two Leftovers did not
Brittany says we were going in, you know, we were focused, we were not playing the convenience game. We were not doing that. We were gut checking information. That was the biggest thing Michael and I always talked about. We wouldn't say anything out loud until we verified it from multiple sources and preferably had some sort of action that backed it up. Had some sort of thing. Because that's all you can truly go on because people won't put somebody on the block unless they feel that way, or they won't actually take action. They can say things all day, but they won't actually take action on it. And that's why it's hard for me that anybody would be so distracted to believe that Turner and I would be working together, when his actions have only demonstrated that we are not. And if I had won HOH, you would've seen that too. Oh my God, I can't wait for you guys to listen back my DRs
Taylor says and I would love, for the past week, to see. And again, it's giving Jasmine, and I did not believe when she would say it but in the place that we can not talk about, you will see wha tI am saying with you does align. Even if the lies were true, I still said f*** it, these are my people
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says either way, the two people on the block are the two people on the block
Brittany says I'm taking myself off the block, it's either you or Turner. Monte's gonna have to show who he's with
Taylor says and then the people that vote are you and Alyssa
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says split vote, Monte
Brittany says wait no, Alyssa's gonna be on the block
Taylor says you and Turner
Brittany says me and Turner, split vote
Taylor says Monte sends me home
Brittany says but Monte is very logical. Do you think he really prioritizes his relationship with Turner over us two? Just let's take emotions and nerve out of it
Brittany says let's just assume there's been a lot of lies. Let's just take that out of it and just look at moves. Turner's more apt to beat Monte in things, and if he does that he'd be sacrificing two jury votes by pissing off both of us, for one, with Turner... Plus if he does that... if he puts you up, that obviously shows. If he puts you up, I can't save you.
Taylor says I only could've done it for both of us if I won the veto
Brittany says if he puts you up, he's basically saying us three are done. He just would be... I just think that would be so illogical, because that would be setting up Turner's entire game. Turner would have him, and Turner would have Alyssa, and it would just be me on an island if I"m gone. Whereas if he puts Turner up, it's me, you, and Monte, and ALyssa's alone on an island next week
Taylor says and it's the three of us playing HOH. You or me win HOH
Brittany says slash, there's no doubt in my mind, Monte and I tend to be pretty neck and neck on some things. If they're mental. If they're physical, he's got me
Taylor says it's between me and him if it's physical
Brittany says yeah, that's true, sorry, yes that is true. Turner is very good physically and mentally. Very good. I think we need to know exactly where Monte lies.
Taylor says this week sucks. This week and last week suck
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says Brittany I swear up and down I would have this veto, and I would be telling you all this stuff with the veto around my neck
Brittany says I believe you. I know
Taylor says I swore up and down. I was like, I didn't want to tell you cause...
Brittany says no I believe you, and you know why I believe you, cause this isn't... our relationship didn't start today. It started day two. And I'm not just gonna. I'm not gonna let some person that I very rarely talk to, who calls me a coastal grandma (chuckles)
Taylor says it's a compliment
Brittany says yeah, but that I have very little in common with... I'm not gonna let that
Taylor says it's not the game that we play
Brittany says no
Taylor says it's not the game that I've played. We do not betray the people that are close to us
Brittany says no, we were all in Leftovers until otherwise. Name me one thing... okay I can think of one thing Turner has done that has kept his word. He's said he would put up Ameerah and Terrance and then he did, and that started the Leftovers. That's pretty much the only thing he's told me that his actions have matched. The only conversation I've ever had with Turner here recently was me letting him know that hey I know it... he was the only person other than you, I told you, Monte, Alyss and I kind of had a conversation about it but not really, but just I understand at some point that Michael will need to go. Cause I could see how optically people might not think that I would be... I can't even say on board with that, but understanding of that. Would I have ever done it? Not until the very end, and you know that. You and I have talked about that. But, who would've benefited the most from Michael being here? Me and you. We would've benefited the most, so it makes sense for us to keep him longer instead of a Turner. We know that Turner, Monte would've left this house before you and I on Michael's watch, so it made sense for us to... and I was willing to roll the dice to think maybe some final questions, he could slip up or something like that, cause we know he can eventually slip up. I was willing to roll that dice at the end. But at least we'd be final three.
Taylor says and my job was to make sure that plan B was just as strong
Brittany says exactly. Just as strong. And honestly I think that there's a better chance we get further with plan B than plan A, for sure. Monte's very strong but he's not a Michael
Taylor says we have beat him. Both of us have beat him
Brittany says yep. So what compelling argument can we say, that really... I'm just trying to think, okay we put on Monte's shoes, what is best for Monte's game? At least if he puts up Turner, Turner's going home on our votes. Of course Turner's gonna know if he went up that he's gonna be the target but it just, I don't know, it seems so blatantly obvious for Monte to put up Turner. He's clearly the strongest competitor left
Taylor says yeah... there's also the fear of...
Brittany says the three girls
Taylor says too much blood on his hands
Brittany says too much blood on his hands?
Taylor says mmhm. His veto was the one that sent Michael out. Then he would put Turner up. That would be his target
Brittany says I think if anything that really sets up his game really well
Taylor says yeah but then look what you have left
Brittany says the jury
Taylor says yeah but you have the last three people, they're going out of their way to get him out
Brittany says just think Monte can't play this next HOH. Wouldn't you want to go into an HOH where it's me, (Taylor), and Alyssa, having me and (Taylor)?
Taylor says mmhm
Taylor says that's why I wanted to win the f***ing veto. That's why I wanted to win the veto, and roll everything out. Makes Monte put up Turner by default. Then we wouldn't have to be
Brittany says yeah, then we wouldn't have to be in this position... Well... I didn't know the situation
Taylor says and what were gonna do? Not win the veto?
Brittany says yeah, and Turner was one tock away
Taylor says like 10 seconds away
Brittany says and you know he would've used it on Alyssa, and we'd both be up against each other
Taylor says mmhm. Yep
Brittany says so this is not best case scenario, but it's second best case scenario, and I think we just have to... I just wonder how much of a hold Turner has on Monte. cause I mean, you going home, in that scenario, I am on an island, and I am next unless I win HOH, so...
So we just need to think, we said the past is the past, how do we get Monte to put up Turner instead of you? How does that benefit Monte's game? Turner is a strong competitor. He would gain back Michael's vote in jury if he got Turner out
Taylor says that is very true
Brittany says he would have our votes in jury should we find ourselves in unfortunate circumstances
Taylor says but it'd have to happen after Turner
Brittany says yep. Yep. If he did that
Taylor says I'm so glad you're on board with this
Brittany says Taylor, you are my person. I don't know... I know Turner says otherwise, but you were my person
Taylor says Brittany, the actions that I would have been able to deliver would have shown you
Brittany says I know. I'm not doubting it for, well I can't say a moment, I had a little bit of anger at the beginning, just the circumstances of it, but I understand. Now that I'm talking it out, I'm doing what I hope that you would've done for me which is not negate the past 64 days before this happen. Like, sorry Turner, you can try to do this but who has not been lying to you the longest. We just gotta think about how to get forward
Brittany says we have to put ourselves in Monte's shoes
Taylor says if I'm Monte, why do I want to sit next to Turner? It doesn't make sense
Brittany says now Turner's been saying... what was it that Turner said he wants to sit next to somebody blah blah blah?
Taylor says the two strongest competitors. That was the agreement that X and Kyland had last season. That's why Kyland was so mad
Brittany says Kyland and X, okay. Two strongest competitors. Which I think that's a pretty sexist view of things honestly. What's to say those are the two strongest competitors?
Taylor says resume. Now you've got three/four vetoes. Pretty f***ing strong if you ask me
Brittany says I mean...
Taylor says until today
Brittany says it would lock in final three. Lock in final three, because we could all agree Alyssa's next. And we could all beat her. She's not done a single thing. Lock in. And then we just duke it out final three
Taylor says it would be a good final three
Brittany says okay, so our points are. He's very strong. So he's been saying he doesn't want a Kyland. Turner's been saying he wants a Kyland/Xavier. Do we know where Monte stands on that thought?
Taylor says not really
Brittany says if he did this, we would get Turner out
Taylor says jury votes
Brittany says he'd gain back Michael's vote. I am nearly certain he would gain back Michael's vote in jury. He'd be like okay you got me out, but you also got the person that got me out. And Michael I know respects gameplay. Although I'm wondering if he'd think that, cause I am trying to wonder if he was sitting next to you and I... Michael would probably vote for us. Okay, so that's not an argument. It would lock in final three. We'd just have to assure him. And I would stick to this. I swear on Stephen, I'd stick to this
Taylor says and he knows. Brittany, do you know how f***ing insane it could have looked for me to say even if the lies that I'm hearing is true. Even if she's throwing my name under the bus and all this stuff, I'm still with you and Brittany. Do you know how f***ing crazy that is for me to say?
Brittany says I know. I appreciate it. Cause I know you knew that that was bullsh**. I appreciate you. That means a lot. I'm getting goosebumps.
Taylor says it's so scary Brittany
Brittany says I know. I know. This game is stupid. People have been trying to drive wedges between us for a very long time. Since day one. Yet we kept finding ourselves coming back to each other
Taylor says do you understand how it is a mindf*** to see it. Everything that you lined up. I saw it. When it was first brouhht to me, I was thinking is this some sh** that Terrance planted to Turner, to try and get me to do some crazy sh**
Brittany says oh my God. I can see how you would think that but...
Taylor says cause Terrance was driving me f***ing crazy last week
Brittany says yeah, Terrance was doing some bullsh**. I don't know for me I guess he just gave up on me. He literally... he didn't say goodbye, but I actually felt okay about that because
Taylor says he didn't do any bullsh** with you
Brittany says he didn't do any bullsh** with me
Taylor says I haven't even told you half the stuff cause we didn't really talk last week. I didn't even tell you half the sh** that Terrance...
Brittany says really. We'll have to catch up on that. And that started freaking me out. I thought for a moment I'd literally came to Michael like oh my God, what if Monte and Turner, cause I think they're working together. What if they get in your ear
Taylor says Michael ear?
Brittany says no your ear. And get you to vote Alyssa. Here was my crazy freak out paranoia moment last week. What if Monte and Turner get in your ear, get you to vote Alyssa out. I vote out Terrance like a moron
Taylor says cause we're all on the same page right?
Brittany says yeah, and then Terrance stays because he's working with you guys, then I was like Michael it's just me and you alone, we're on our own island. Like what if that happens. He was like calm down. I was like I don't believe it, but I get it, I get it, people get in your... but did that play out? no. Think of all the... no it ends up going the way that most of the conversations go. There's always just a few people who try to lalala, but you know what? They always leave next. And guess what Turner, it's your turn
Taylor says please oh my God, please
Brittany says okay, I just feel like we need a very solid argument to come to Monte with. I'm sure Turner's up there talking to Monte right now, so...
Taylor says mmhm
Brittany says but he doesn't have coffee in him and we can come up with something better. He has a for sure final three, I'd swear on my life. Barring that Alyssa wins HOH next week, which I'm sorry, has any action shown that that is remotely possible? And with you and I playing, I feel like we really have a lot of the skills covered. DOn't you think?
Taylor says mmhm
Brittany says even if it was the spinny, hold on as tight as you can, wall-esque comp. We got that in the bag. Like we got our bases covered
Taylor says Brittany to be just painfully, blatantly, all cards on the table, honest with me.
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says do you have any other final twos? or final threes that are in this house still?
Brittany says no. No. That's what's f***ing scary. cause if he doesn't put up Turner, I am literally on my island. All I have, and this is what I was trying to tell Monte. I was always locked into us four. The only difference I think he saw I that Monte wanted to take the shot at Michael when it presented itself, and I wanted to take that shot Michael further on, and we were just gonna see how it all played out. But that has always, that has been my game. It's been my inclination since well before you HOH. It was officially a thing come Big BroChella, and it's still a thing now. And that's why I don't hold it against Michael, against Monte playing a role in Michael leaving. I don't hold it against him, because that was always the plan. The only thing we saw differently was the timing, which is fine. Do you think they're gonna be pissed that I said, that I shouted "That's for you Michael"?
Taylor says I thought that was a little weird because I still thought that you were really hurt by him on the way out. So literally my face was like "what?"
Brittany says no. I know now that he was just trying to warn me. I really truly believe that. Now, if he's... here's the thing... yeah... well, I forgot we get to do goodbye messages. Thank God I came to that realization before the goodbye message, and I told him that a little bit, so he knows now that I'm not actually pissed at him. He was a good friend. I know they're probably "why would she say that?" but I know that he needed to leave... I can understand that he needed to leave and also be sad that he left at the same time
Taylor says yeah well, me and Joseph. The more I learn, the more I... well, I don't know now but...
Brittany says in my mind, I don't know, I might make it one more week but dammit, I'm in final four, so I just wanted if they play that, I don't know if they will. If they play that to him, I just wanted him to know okay, couldn't do it when you needed it, but I did it. He's just a good friend. You're a good friend too. I'd be doing the same tear works, that's why we can't have this happen. We cannot have this happen this week. Cause I don't have it mentally in me.
Taylor says I know. You have seen me in my week after losing my friend too. So I know what you're going through
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says and I'm sorry I didn't run to you laughing with the things i was told
Brittany says it's okay. I understand with the things I was told, after talking about, I was trying to put myself in your shoes, and I get that, but you can also see how it sounds so ridiculous to me
Taylor says Brittany, I swear to God, you're gonna watch this back, again, I hate when people say this cause I'm like f*** you , you're lying to me
Brittany says I know what you're saying, but there' nothing else you can say to convey...
Taylor says my first reaction is like... And then I'm hearing more people saying it and I"m like... okay. Then Michael seems to, I don't know agree, but like be in line with it. Check in with me, and say, are we on the same page? I'm like we're on the same page
Brittany says I know he knows that that's not true, but I think maybe he needed somewhat of an insurance policy. I mean you saw how much he was trying to convince you and Alyssa to...
Taylor says yeah that's the game, I'm never gonna...
Brittany says if you thought Turner was providing some assistance with that. I don't know. I hope I"m not wrong, but I think I played a pretty clean game, like I keep my mouth shut. I don't say things unless... they're fact checked and then there's some sort of strategy attached to them. And it's gotten me in trouble before. I remember at the beginning of the game, people were like Brittany's too quiet, she doesn't say anything to us. The girls hated it. That's what was part of the distrust. They were like "oh, she doesn't tell us anything". It was like I don't tell you anything because I don't run and blahlalalala the first thing I hear. That was a little hurtful to hear that people were falling for that but I also get that, you know, the Leftovers established because we didn't want to play that game, but once non-Leftovers came in and the Leftovers were disrupted, that's what this game that we're currently in has become I guess. You know what I mean? It's just sucky because you didn't play that way. Monte didn't play that way, so the fact that it's even starting to percolate is like aw man guys, it's intoxicating that strategy is. It's stupid.
Taylor says I've been saying stupid a lot more lately and I'm glad that you're saying it. Cause now I don't feel so dumb.
Brittany says no, but you know what, all that's in the past. Thank you for telling me because I don't know what I could even. Of course I haven't been saying the right things because I don't know what everyone's been saying. Everyone's been doing a really good job of not telling me. That's for sure. That's what's stupid. Man, Alyssa's good too. Sh**
Taylor says what's she been sayign to you?
Brittany says I don't know she's like you know what? it's funny cause I think she's starting to feel bad, cause I think she knows how many lies she's made up about me too. is that she's like, you know, just like no matter what happens, I always have you. Stuff liek that
Taylor says like what Terrance would say?
Brittany says yeah, stuff like that. I'm like everybody's... the people I'm working with are starting to distance from me, and then she's almost like just how she touched my thigh right before you and I went up. Not this last HOH, but the HOH before. She knew. Cause they are working together.
Taylor says Turner and Alyssa?
Brittany says that's also the thing. Monte has to see , you leave Turner in this house. You leave Turner in this house .You don't have me anymore, because if I'm on an island, if you go out, Monte doesn't have me, I'm sorry. I'm on my own island. Turner has Alyssa and Turner has Monte. Like... whereas if he kept you, he'd have two allies, and then we'd just have to go after Alyssa, that's it. Doesn't it make the most sense from his game perspective? We also need him to know that us three girls are not a thing. Like not a thing
Taylor says I told him that. Alyssa, I hope has told him that, but...
Brittany says not a thing
Taylor says I told Monte the truth about that
Brittany says I told him that too. I said I didn't tell you about... I said that conversation happened, but it was so bogus, and not like what are you supposed to do? When that comes up be like I already have four other alliances, so you have to go to the back of the line
Taylor says what did he ask you about that? Cause I told him we were up in that room. He asked me two or three times about it. I said we were up in the HOH room and he said that when he asked Alyss about it, Alyssa said that I mostly kept my mouth shut, which was basically true, and I said that is correct, I said, I'm gonna be completely honest with you, even with all this stuff going around about Brittany, again, defending you amidst all this crazy sh**. I said I was not the one that brought it up. I said Brittany was not the one that brought it up.
Taylor says I said you know how close we are, our relationship. Even if all this stuff was like if all this stuff is true about her throwing me under the bus, I would tell you if she was the one that started it. i didn't bring it up, she didn't bring it up. And he said so Alyssa started it? I said yes. And then I was like cause Alyssa coming into this house didn't have anybody. I don't blame Alyssa for trying to start something. That's the truth, but still. I never lie to Monte. I never try to create crazy plans. It's always been the same with Monte. It's always been here are the facts, here's the path, how do we move forward?
Brittany says yeah... here's the thing. You and I have had the opportunity to clear up a lot of things. I don't know if I've gotten that far with Monte yet
Taylor says mmhm
Brittany says and if he is close with Turner. By the way, shouldn't we be hurt by that? Like he has a final three with us. That's why... you know it's so funny when you find yourself on the block, you're definitely the one that has to take the defense mode, I'm thinking to myself like "what the f***?" you're going back on what you told me. I'm mad at you! But you're HOH, I can't be mad at you. Like, I don't know... that's also like, Monte, we know you are not lying to us. But if he puts up Turner, we know he is... Unless he's going to swear up and down, Turner votes out you, I vote out Alyssa, and then he breaks the tie and keeps you. That's a lot of trust to put in, and I don't trust it, it would make no sense
Taylor says mm mm
Brittany says it would make no sense
Taylor says he told me he doesn't want to make that decision
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says he told me he doesn't want to get blood on his hands this week. That's why he was like "it'd be great if you won the veto, Taylor, cause then I'd be forced to put up Turner, and then it's up to you and Brittany"
Brittany says if that's the case, I would not consider myself working with Monte. He could've made it for sure that you would stay. Then it would be Monte/Turner vs you and me. Final four. I don't like that. I like it a whole lot less than... How can we convince him. We just have to... So here's the situation I find myself in. I think I've done some damage control with Monte but not to the extent right now, not damage control, but him understanding that these things were lies that Turner said. He's closer with Turner. Think, they got to you, and you and I are super close
Taylor says barely, but...
Brittany says yes, yeah, barely, sorry. There's a lot I know I haven't seen, but you told me, so
Taylor says but still. Still I didn't tell you until now, so
Brittany says they caused a seed of doubt so... I'm thinking Monte's even closer with Turner. I mean Monte and I are close, but I could see how he could fall for it a whole lot more if he's close with Turner
Taylor says mmhm
Brittany says man, how do we do this? The thing is, you wouldn't want to take a shot at Turner unless you knew for sure it would go through. He would have us to have the for sure vote
Taylor says mmhm, that's it. But Turner up. You come down, Turner goes up. It's done. If I go up, it's a split vote, he has to make the decision. That's the argument there.
Brittany says yeah. He would know we would do it. The thing is if he thinks I'm working with Turner. This is ridiculous. I never thought there'd be a reality where I had to convince him that I'm not working with Turner (laughs). That's hilarious to me. Oh my God
Taylor says I have begged both of you to tell me straight up. I'm like "are you working with Turner? Are you working with Turner? Are you working with Turner?" Because it just doesn't make sense to me to put anyone up against Alyssa other than Turner because it's a surefire way
Brittany says so Monte still says he's not working with Turner?
Taylor nods
Brittany says really? So that's one thing. Monte says you have said up right and down that you are not working with Turner. I have said up, right, and down that I am not working with Turner. Put Turner up. That proves you're not working with him. We vote him out. That proves I'm not working with him. And it's done. Then it's us three final three. That's how we rebuild trust. And you'll know that I wasn't lying, and I'll know that you weren't lying. And then easy next week. We get out Alyssa, then final f***ing three. It's locked in. I think that's a pretty compelling argument
Taylor says I think that's it. Cause he's always talking about he sticks to his word, doesn't overpromise, this, this, and that.
Brittany says yep. And I think that's something I hadn't shared very much. The things I was hearing about him working with Turner. And that, that have spooked me
Taylor says I told him, I was like, Brittany swears up and down you're working with Turner. I have told him that. It's like I am with you two. You know who my. You know I'm working with you and Brittany. You know I'm working with Brittany. You know this. Are you working with Turner? No
Brittany says yeah. Okay. Yeah. Cause I did have one conv... I told you this. One conversation with Turner about letting him know that I'm okay wit hMichael. Us joking about how sh** our jury is. You know. Just that we're both in that same boat. That's why I think Turner took this opportunity to be like oh it made more. Now he's saying it said this it said that. I swear to you, anything more than just being like oh look at the jury. We were looking at the memory wall. we were sitting in the bathroom and we were looking. We were like peaking through and we saw a corner of the memory wall, and I was like have you taken a look at the memory wall yet?
Taylor says it was like 5 something in the morning?
Brittany says yeah. It was very
Taylor says that's when he said this conversation took place
Brittany says yeah, he's taking that and he's misconstruing it beyond belief which is crazy. I told him I was okay with Michael, cause I had never told him before, and I thought there was a good chance that he might win an HOH, and I wanted him to know that like that needs to happen, it's okay.
Taylor says did you say anything about me in that conversation?
Brittany says in that conversation? no. Other than we were going through each person and saying if we thought someone else would get their vote or not. I could think in a lot of situations you would get a vote over me or him in something. Which is... not a lot of situations, not all situations, but in some. I really do think, I don't know if you've done this, and this could be another conversation, but I really do think it's a toss-up between you and I. And that's where I wanna be.
Taylor says we've said that ?? We were like even shot
Brittany says we don't even know how people are feeling in the jury house now. The Indy who left, may not be the Indy... You know you could look at Indy and be like out of you and me, she'd be pissed to vote for any of us, but... out of you and me she might pick maybe me
Taylor says yeah cause I'm the one who got her out
Brittany says but who knows maybe, she might respect that and who knows, we don't know. So your name came up in the context we went through. It was a joke. I don't have a game relationship with him. It was just a hey... and the way I looked at it I was like hey Turner's having kind of a sh** you know thing, and I thought it was funny that I kind of felt that way too
Taylor says you didn't offer a final two to him then?
Brittany laughs, and says final two? No. How would I even finagle that. That would be literally me going against everybody I've ever worked with to end up in the final two chairs with him. Not to mention, I think his stock has risen incredible. Cause he got out Michael. This conversation that I had with him, that we joked about was before that. Still, that just doesn't even. No. No final two with Turner. I'm wishing I never even spoke to him about anything. I want him to know about the Michael thing, you know. I didn't know he was gonna add, elaborate... Which actually is a very smart move by him, to do that because I have been telling people that I had this one singular conversation with Turner, and now he's just piling onto it so then it makes it seem like what he's telling is true. It's smart.
Taylor says ?? you, me, and Monte having this conversation together
Brittany says yeah. So I think our point is clearing the air a little bit. I think also, something now I feel like I can talk to Monte about, because I can't go this week is hey, these are the things I've been hearing. And they alarmed me
Taylor says but you filtered it
Brittany says but I filtered it. I also knew that your actions would show where you really are. Because he says it and I believe it too. We're very much in the same line of thinking. Actions speak louder than words. You have been telling... Here are the things I've heard that made me think you're working with Turner. You have been telling Taylor you are not working with Turner. I am not working with Turner. We are all sharing this in common. Let's prove it to each other. Here's how we prove it to each other. You put Turner up. We vote him out. He's done. He's done. And then we beat Alyssa next week, which is the easiest thing to do, and then we're final three
Taylor says done
Brittany says done
Taylor says people are gonna ask us what we talked about in here.
Taylor says Turner told me that he would publicly back up everything that he said because it was true. He said he would out your game entirely because you outed my game entirely and this this and that. I don't want to walk out here and cause an explosion right now. I just want to walk out here and go straight to Monte the three of us, or at some point today talk to Monte. I don't want it to be Turner and Alyssa enclosing any of us
Brittany says no. And that's fine. If he wants to do that, that's okay. I stand by it. I think he's just trying to pummel me, and I think I can't leave. I can't leave this week, but I think he wants to make it very clear he would come after me if he stayed, to Monte
Taylor says mmhm
Brittany says I mean I made it very clear to Monte, I'd go after Turner next week if I stayed. The thing is that scares me is I think Turner is just very good physically and mentally
Taylor says mmhm
Brittany says I don't want to... I mean granted I beat him today. I beat him. Thank God I beat him
Taylor says it's a hard balance when you're very very happy that someone else won the veto but you also wanted it for yourself. So if I seem a little...
Brittany says it would've been a hard one. If we could see how the other one was doing, it would've been really nice to know all this stuff, so if it would've come up to me and you, I would've thrown it to you, cause that would've been the best case scenario
Taylor says mm mm. One of us had to win it. Period
Brittany says but I just mean you could've saved your self and toko down me, and that would've forced Turner up, and that would've been best case scenario. But it wouldn't have been a situation where we could do that anyway since it was individual. We couldn't see how the other person was doing
Taylor says mm mm
Brittany says this conversation's gonna be crucial with Monte. I just wanna make sure that, we've thought through all. Like if we were Monte, what... We clear the air about stuff
Taylor says and I know all the rumors that have been out there, so I can present them
Brittany says I also don't wanna, I mean, we're more than welcome to do this, I can defend myself all day. All I can really say though is those are lies, I don't have much more to say beyond that. I want to keep it more future focused if we can because... it doesn't matter, here are the facts, I'm not going home this week. It's a fact (laughs) SO how do we move forward. And I know Monte's a smart guy, he's gotta think that through too. One thing that we can do though that is a little past facing is, okay there's been a lot of lies thrown around by Turner, which makes a lot of sense in this. I've not been caught up on all the lies, thank you, I now know the situation. I couldn't have that conversation with Monte, cause I didn't know what was said. So I couldn't defend myself when I don't even know what's being said. We've cleared that up. I can clear tha tup with him too. I'm not working with Turner. Here's what I've been hearing
Taylor says "that made me think you were working with Turner"
Brittany repeats
Taylor says "this is why..."
Brittany says Taylor has asked you repeatedly are you working with Turner, are you working with Turner, you have siad no. You are not working with Turner. These are all words. Let's put some action behind them. Put some action behind them. You put Turner up shows you are not working with Turner. We vote Turner out. I vote Turner out shows I am not working with Turner. Turner is done. Turner's gone. We are working together. We have re-established that trust and we get Alyssa out next week. And it's final three. Done. And then we just take it from there. Here's the thing. And please be honest with me, and I'm okay with this. Monte, does he feel good with you, that you would take him potentially in a final two situation?
Taylor says mm mm
Brittany says no. That's the only thing I'm nervous about. Is that he feels that I would take you and you would take me, that he wouldn't want to go to a final three with me. He'd want to go to a final two with Turner, because Turner would take him.
Brittany sighs
Brittany says how do we combat that?
Taylor sighs
Taylor says when I've talked to Monte about our final three. I've leaned into, you seem like a good player, and I have said, I haven't said I will take you to final two. It's been, we all get to final three and more than likely you and I will be the ones duking it out in the end. But I've never said I'm choosing you.
Brittany says yeah. I definitely have not said anything to him like that, because we're not as close. Yeah. I just don't know. Just given the way that we've talked and the history that we've had
Taylor says you and me?
Brittany says yeah. I don't know. Also just the fact that... We are feminists. We don't hide that. I just think he would... other conversations I think he would just assume that. And it's like i can't build around that. I can't make him think oh I'd take you. That's like, random
Taylor says he probably feels pretty confident that he'd be the one to win and choose. I think that's where it comes down for him. He feels really confident that he could win the last HOH and make his choice. And that's really the argument that the three of us are making anyway. Whoever wins is the one who chooses
Brittany says yeah, yeah
Taylor says but I think that he just more believes that he would be the one to get there and make the choice
Brittany says well, me winning this veto might convince him otherwise (laughs). I'm no threat, I just won I'm sorry
Taylor says four vetoes
Brittany says four, but really two and a half. I did no twin Otev. Can we all agree with this.
Taylor says Wood stack?
Brittany says I did pull half. I didn't pull all the weight, but I pulled half my weight
Taylor says okay. I give you Wood Stack. I definitely give Wood Stack
Brittany says okay, for two and a half to three. No HOHs, unfortunately. I wish they gave you pictures for vetoes. Okay, I'm just . I just want to make sure we're completely clear because I also had a cider in me the last time I talked to MOnte I was like aw dammit I wish I would've drank that, so I wanna make sure. Okay
Taylor says you're not going home this week
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says it is a fact that you're not going home this week
Brittany says clear up stuff. We'll say here's how we prove loyalty. We'll pitch that. Trying to think. If Turner wants to have a big... cause I know he's gonna go down fighting. If he wants to have a big thing, it's perfectly fine, I'm just gonna keep level, not shout. I think that would go a long way with Monte too. I'm not gonna get worked up. It's easier to be on the defensive when you can not go home
Taylor says mmhm
Brittany says he's gonna be coming at me, but then again he wouldn't have started all these lies and stuff if he didn't
Taylor says
Brittany says I just don't think that matters anymore. I don't know, if it helps other people feel good about things we can duke it out, but I don't know, I guess to me, I'm always just like that's in the past, the situation has changed now. I don't know. It's fine. If we want to have the conversation, I can definitely have that. In front of whoever wants to... whoever needs to hear it. I don't know what else I can say other than you were lying. You know. It's just the... It's just the difficulty there
Taylor says yeah, even then... I'm just... I'm glad that in the private conversations I've had with Monte it has been doubt, confusion, and still sticking with you
Brittany says I appreciate that
Taylor says cause whether this happens publicly or privately
