Turner says I was thinking earlier. I was trying to draft ideas... tell me if yours is better. For the next week all we need is one of us to win either comp and we're fine. So I was thinking does it make more sense, the Alyssa/Taylor thing. Again, we already talked to Taylor so I'm fine with sticking with that, but does it make more sense to give an extra element of competition or take away an element of competition, cause all we need is one win between the two comps, but if we throw in an element of another competitor in, does that make it better or worse? Does it make that better for the first one or worse for the second one?
Monte says yeah cause I think about
Turner says cause if going into the second one it's basically me and you vs. Brittany, that makes it better
Monte says oh I see what you're saying. I can see what you're saying here, yeah, yeah
Turner says does having less dogs in the fight make it easier? Granted, whatever you think about that I don't care, I was just thinking about that and I was like that might be a good point to raise
Monte says yeah I guess it's just, cause like you said it's one comp vs another. So...
Turner says cause even if Taylor wins the first one, one of us still has to win the second one for that to work
Monte says I see what you're saying
Turner says so, whoever wins veto is the person voting. And whoever wins HOH is the other person safe
Monte says whoever wins veto is the person voting and whoever wins HOH is the person safe. Right
Turner says so we just need to win either of those. But if we have an extra element of someone who's competition to take away from us winning one of those, cause as long as we win one we're fine, but throwing in an extra element might make it more difficult for one of us to win one. All I'm thinking
Monte says I see what you're saying, yeah. I guess my idea was that the biggest concern is that if Brittany's the main target for next week, Alyssa's here or not, or if Taylor or Alyssa's here, then reducing the likelihood that she is the one who's safe makes the most sense, but I see what you're saying. It's really a matter of us winning the veto. If one of us wins the veto then we're fine in having the peace of mind competition for that
Turner says cause the veto's the most important thing next week
Monte says yeah
Turner says and HOH, like even if Taylor won HOH, that doesn't put us in a better or worse spot. That's the same thing as if... It's better if one of us wins HOH so if she wins HOH, we are the same
Monte says if she wins HOH we are the same (thinking about the statement)
Turner says like if she wins HOH we still need to win veto, it just adds an extra competitor to us needing to win veto
Monte says yeah, that's a good point
Turner says it's something we can sit on, I don't know, I wasn't married to the idea, but I thought about it and i was like I just want us to both think about that
Monte says no, that's fair. That is fair
Turner says and luckily, there's many many days until that matters but
Monte says yeah
Turner says I just figured that
Monte says until the actual vote... yeah, you know I do want to see what people are talking about
Turner says oh yeah definitely
Monte says I feel like, it's like you said, there's always something that comes up that just ??
Turner says for sure
Monte says who knows. Although Taylor has not ?? while she's been on the block she could do something that makes it very clear that okay maybe she's the one that needs to be voted out this week
Turner says yeah definitely as it gets closer to Thursday, it'll be easier, and for right now totally fine with keeping Taylor, but just keeping that idea in mind, I think is good
Monte says yeah, yeah, no that's fair. Yeah, and I think it's also like getting her head squared away on like where she stands with Brittany, you know. Cause I think the more we talk about it, the more she's realizing that yeah she's all over the f***ing place. Who knows what the hell she's gonna do next week, but I think in her mind she's probably thinking like Brittany probably wouldn't come after her, but if the two of us...
Turner says oh 1000%
Monte says which is why she's probably not so much adamant about it. Yeah, and that's fair...
Turner says cause I think. I was just thinking about it and it has no... me giving a f*** if I'm friends with the person or not, like honestly, it's just like if the most important thing is for me or you to win one of these comps, is adding someone else to the mix who can win a comp beneficial? Because I think me vs you vs Brittany, not a question. Me vs you vs Brittany vs Taylor, it just adds a f***ing element
Monte says yeah another dynamic
Turner says that we have to win one of the two. So it's like. Does that make someone who's a good competitor make it easier? I don't think so
Monte says right right. Well cause, I guess in that situation. If she wins veto, I think we're having to put trust in her following through with keeping noms the same for one of us stay off
Turner says and that's only if also she wins HOH, which is very unlikely she wins both
Monte says right. Very true, very true. Whereas like we can have Alyssa there and it sort of just...
Turner says it just like gives it's basically vetoes me and you vs Brittany
Monte says right, right, right. The only thing that's bad about that situation is that if we have one less competitor for the HOH, the worst case scenario is that Brittany wins HOH
Turner says mmhm
Monte says because if she's the main target then, we're sort of screwed then. And then, yes we can win veto, and then kick the other person to the curb that being Alyssa or Taylor
Turner says mmhm
Monte says but if she wins HOH that means that she's guaranteed safety, and means that she's going to final three, which I think is the ultimate big cause for pause. Like, granted I think we could beat her if it comes down to a final three, I just, from... I just done... even her using that money excuse and all that sort of sh**.
Turner says oh yeah, big time
Monte says I just, I'm not cool with that. Like I just don't think people who try to bring the personal sh** into the game to try to... you know like. I almost feel like she just doesn't deserve to be in a final three
Turner says oh I am fully on board with that
Monte says you know what I mean? So I do understand your point around the veto, cause that is gonna be important
Turner says if Brittany won HOH, and then Taylor won veto, then we're both on the block, so f***
Monte says yeah
Turner says if Taylor won HOH and Brittany won veto, same thing
Monte says yeah... right. Whereas...
Turner says if Brittany won HOH, I don't think she's winning veto, HOH, veto. It's just unlikely. So then, I feel like in that case, one of us is bound to win 100% the veto. Just where my head's at. Early in the week so...
Monte says yeah yeah yeah, no good thought though. Very good thought. I did not think about that in its entirety. I mean you, I'm just thinking about yesterday, like... got waken up at 5 AM, competition's complete by like 6, and then I tried to sleep, didn't really happen. Everybody starts talking game
Turner says oh yeah totally
Monte says I probably didn't think that all the way through
Turner says I mean I didn't either, so... I mean, once the noms are set, then we wait a few days just to see how it plays out. We can open that conversation back up, just something good to think about
Monte says no it's a good idea you know. That is a good idea. Yeah, yeah...
Brittany and Taylor talk in the open room (1:57 PM BBT)
Brittany says when do you think we should talk to Monte?
Taylor says is he outside right now?
Brittany says he's in the pool
Taylor says okay. I think after pool time.
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says when it's like... people are tired from the sun, we can sneak upstairs, and just be like okay, let's chat
Brittany says we don't want to catch him too late so we're not springing it on him
Taylor says yeah
Brittany says if I notice that he's out and it seems like it's a good time. If you're napping, would you mind?
Taylor says grab me
Brittany says okay cool, I didn't want to like...
Taylor says yes, please. Let's go!
Brittany says okay. How are you doing, how are you feeling today?
Taylor says good. I was like wide awake for a long time, and then I was like, I'll just lay on the bed, and then all of a sudden they were like "hey Taylor, could you grab your sweatshirt and come to the DR?" I was like okay. It was for the veto so it worked out, but I was tired as sh**
Brittany says yeah. At least you didn't have to fake acting tired or anything
Taylor says no and I've never... I wasn't even as tired when we woke up for the veto as I was for that just then. So I was like "ha you motherf***ers". Love you. Love you guys. Respect you. You guys work so hard. I appreciate you
