Taylor says how are we gonna pull this off Monte? (6:43 AM BBT)
Monte says are you talking about game or are you talking about other stuff?
Taylor laughs and says other stuff. You're like "win and take me to the end with you. That's how we figure it out"
Monte says yeah I have no idea. I think it's all about like, cause I don't want people to catch on and then like... first of all you're on the block this week, so
Taylor says yes, terrifying
Monte says yeah, so I don't want anyone getting any funny ideas about switching their vote because they think we're getting close or something
Taylor says exactly
Monte says there's but if you got this room next week
They laugh
Monte says that is something to consider
...
Monte says if they see us hanging out or you not sleeping in your own bed, they're probably gonna start assuming things and normally I wouldn't care. If you weren't on the block I wouldn't care
Taylor says it wouldn't matter
Monte says ...it wouldn't really matter, but the fact that, Brittany
Taylor says and Alyssa are both in the front room now
Monte says yeah, that's the part that makes it tougher, but, I don't know. And it's also like, we only got
Taylor and Brittany talk in the bathroom (1:32 PM BBT)
Taylor says subconsciously I feel like I haven't been spending that much time with you because everything next week is so do or die with us. I don't know. That's why I'm just kind of like ?? Maybe it's fear. I don't know. But... everything is okay
Brittany says fear of what
Taylor says both of us not making it through
Brittany says yeah
Taylor says it's scary, the odds are
Brittany says I know
Taylor says it's high pressure, so... I've never a felt pressure like this before. it's always been I have to do this or someone in the Leftovers can get there. Now it's a different game
Brittany says I know. I've been feeling that a lot too
Taylor says it's easier when you have a team... what you said this whole time
Brittany says what gets me most mad about Michael is he left me having to play his strategy but only he can play his strategy
Taylor says yeah. I have a lot of questions about... I was quiet with you last week because of the way that he reacted when he was told all this stuff
Brittany says he knew. He knew I talked to Turner. He asked me to talk to Turner
Taylor says so why the f*** is he... to everybody else it makes sense for him to pretend ... but it's frustrating to me to not be looped in. And maybe that's what he was trying to do in the HOH room when we were moving out but...
Brittany says we had an understanding and I'd say whatever I needed to say to anybody in order to get information where their head was at to protect him
Taylor says aww you motherf***ers
Brittany says and I'm sorry. I should've told you sooner, and I should've told Monte straight up. But I was still protecting the integrity of his game and I don't know why I was doing that, because I thought he was a friend
Taylor says it's okay. You were being a friend
Brittany says but no when I talked to Turner at 6 AM it was purely to see where his head was at. I had to tell Michael literally the next morning as we were both getting our batteries in storage
Taylor says wow
Brittany says he knew I was going to talk to him that night
Taylor says wow
Brittany says but now I'm learning that he was using that to his advantage
Taylor says Michael?
Brittany says literally everything I do was for that guy. I don't want today to be another bad day.
Brittany tears up
Taylor says nope. Great day. Better day ??
Brittany says so, that conversation was not real. I did not have a final two with Turner, but it was a conversation for Michael. I swear. We can all talk about it later, but that is exactly what happened... Did he make like he didn't know? or did... I still don't know
Taylor says he... I don't know what this initial reaction was when Turner told him cause I wasn't there, but he acted very annoyed with you. It was like obviously... the not me it was like "obviously I don't like that Brittany has my name out there" and that's when I was like, don't you...
Brittany says we had done that so many times, like that was our thing
Taylor says I know, so that's why with me I'm like... I had a different relationship with him
Brittany says I don't think he wanted you to know that that was our thing
Taylor says yeah. It's fine. It just bothers me that he wouldn't want me to know because if it does come back to me, then that makes me question the two of you and that's never the game I was playing with you guys
Brittany says I know
Taylor says I don't understand the logic in that. I understand the logic in wanting to keep it between the two of you or keep it quiet, but if I'm working with both of you, and you know people are starting to pull me over, or try to pull me over...
Brittany says my thought was that I was always closer with Michael, you were always closer with Monte, us four could make it to final four and I never thought that he would turn on that which would cause Monte to turn on me and that I wouldn't have you guys when I came back. I never thought that that was gonna happen. Which I should've
Taylor says no
Brittany says I should've figured that but I was just
Taylor says if I was in your position I would have those thoughts too. That's just what it is. That's just what it is. We had the relationships with the people that are going to benefit all four of us. I will never fault you for being loyal to who you chose to be loyal to in the game, the people you chose to be loyal to in the game. I'll never fault you for that
Brittany says my thought too was that it didn't directly hurt you, so I thought it was an okay conversation to have
Taylor says mm mm, it's fine... we're fine. Seriously, why would I be upset about that?
Brittany says well it caused you to doubt me
Taylor says there were a lot of stupid things that would cause even the closest people in this game to doubt their closest allies. I hate that I did in my head doubt, but my actions, well I guess, I only have a would have, but my actions, and what I intended to do would not have shown doubt. And that's just what that would've been had I won the veto. And it's easy to say with the context and everything, but that is... sh** I'm sure in DR's conversation with people we're all gonna see, I'll be like "okay, well even if it's true... so?" It's like the same energy as people being like if you're a doctor and you come into the game and you lied about being a doctor. I'm like ... whatever, that doesn't mean you're going to be good at the game (laughs). It doesn't mean sh**
Brittany says that's true
Taylor says and you know that's where I am. So you don't have to worry about... the attempt to create friction or doubt between us failed. I'm sorry that you had to be hurt by Michael in the process, but you are here and he is not, and we will figure out that friendship in two weeks
Brittany says I know... yeah
Taylor says we'll figure it out in two weeks. We just gotta get there... We're still gonna be in the house tomorrow
Brittany says I know
Taylor says and we will fight and we will win and we will go
Brittany says are they pressuring you to get rid of me? ... no
Taylor says they're smarter than that
Brittany says really?
Taylor says yeah
Brittany nods and says we just gotta win
Taylor says people in this house know they can't pressure me into doing jack sh**. You kidding me?
Brittany says that's true
Taylor says it'd be pressure ... anything sitting next to me on the block and we see how that goes
Brittany says okay, let's talk some more later
Taylor says okay, I love you
Brittany says I love you too and gives her a hug
Taylor says we're gonna be okay
Brittany joins Turner, Alyssa, and Monte in the kitchen
