The receipts behind BB26.

Chelsie says how do you feel about the vote 8-3. Makensy says I was praying about it all week. The vote surprised Makensy , with the 8 of us having something? Makensy said Brooklyn told her that they didn't want it to be a spilt house. Makensy said I wish I had a heads up. I wish I knew. Makensy would have still voted Matt but she wanst to trust the 8.

Cedric tells Kenney that he's getting a little sunburned. Cedric whispers to Angela in passing that he doesn't foresee her going home. Angela says to herself, "But this is Big Brother and it can't be that easy." Dinner being made, many HGs in kitchen. Close up of Rubina's hands making food. Long white nails with black squiggly marks on them. Then fish.

Lisa has been sitting in the backyard alone for awhile, with the cams on her. Brooklyn goes out to the yard to start working out. Kimo wanders out as well. Lisa asks Kimo if he'd use the veto on her. He says he would have to ask Chelsie. Lisa assures him that she's fine, if anyone asks. She's just conserving her energy, but literally she's fine. She's not feeling any type of way, she's just on slop and needs to conserve her energy.

Chelsie talking to Brooklyn. She's talking about how Cam was sent to her by others who convinced him to be a pawn, but she couldn't do that to him. He said to her that they need to keep Leah close and he doesn't trust her, and that makes her trust Cam less. Chelsie says she's keeping Makensy close because of the special power. C says that the powers are at the forefront of her mind, and she wants to flush them. She says about Lisa, Prove to me that you don't have it.

Tucker sitting next to Angela outside. He is twirling his necklace. He wishes he had won HOH. Angela says "You still would have had to put me up," and he denies it. She says, "Thank you for always being a listening ear. I appreciate it." Then, "Have you looked into why you sweat so much? See if there's something you can do?" Then fish!

Lisa says that she is trusting what Chelsie says. She says, "I'm going to take myself off the block" by winning the veto this week. Lisa says she would appreciate if Chelsie does not make her the target this week by letting Lisa's name come out of her mouth, and that the HOH sets the tone and that people don't want to vote against the house. Chelsie says, "Kenney wants to leave and I want to honor that." Feed switches to backyard and Leah and Jo in the pool. Jo: "We're onions." Leah: "We got layers."

Tucker and Cedric talking in the bedroom. Tucker was on his own bed. Cedric asked him again if he was comfortable being a pawn, and Cedric asked "What about Rubina instead of you?" and Tucker told him he doesn't think that's a good idea because Rubina is at the bottom of that 'girl's thing'. Tucker continued to try and convince Cedric to put Makensy up instead and to get her to use her power.

Chelsie says that Leah will stab everyone in the back except Cam. Cedric is mildly concerned that a Leah nom would make Makensy mad at him. Chelsie assures him that Makensy will not use the power on Leah, and Makensy won't be mad, she'll just cling to Chelsie and be desperate for someone to work with, like she was after Matt left.

Cedric tells Joe that Leah might be his new target if he has to put someone else. Joe asks why? Feeds cut to Leah briefly. Back to Cedric/Joe. Joe says that Leah didn't like when Cedric asked her who she'd put up next week. Cedric is also open to nomming "RB" as a replacement

Leah and Joe in uncorn room. Leah says we are not at his mercy. Leah says people are knocking out everyone I work with. Leah says the fake sh*t upstairs. Leah says I feed T'kor, I give her electrolytes when she is about to pass out. The other pretend they like T'kor but I am taking care of her. They just watch her on the floor but I go get her something and take care of her. Leah says T'kor and I celebrated and I told her she would nto touch the block if I won.

Chelsie says whoever is the renom, they and Makensy need to beat him out. Angela says I won 2 HOH's by chance. Makensy says we are tired of being on the block. Chelsie says 6 weeks and not ont he block is a win. Makensy says I am a comp threat. Chelsie says people say the same thing about Cam, and he won 1 comp. Chelsie says it is physical. Makensy says I am flattered to be seen as a strong women.

(TV) T'kor, Tucker, Rubina and Kimo in the HOH room. Kimo said they need to come up with a name for the 4 of them since they want to work with each other and don't really need Joseph and Angela. Tucker suggests The Visionaires, but T'kor pivots away from that since that alliance is already in existence. They decide on Friendzzzz instead.

(TV) Tucker into the DR and gets a card on the couch. He opens the card and reads that America selected him to the be the AI Instigator for the next week. He will use AI generated avatars to spread misinformation throughout the house. He can use it whenever he wants and stir up as much drama he wants to create. America will then vote again for an amount from $0, $5k, $10k or $20k. Tucker is hyped at the opportunity. Power must be kept a secret.

Cam reassures Lisa that Angela has enough pull that Kenney will go home. Lisa asks about Quinn, Cam says that he likes Quinn a lot. Cedric interrupts to say they're having a talent show, and leaves. Lisa says 'your energy level is a little off.' Cam is surprised. Lisa returns to talking about the block, and asks if Cam would use the veto on her. Cam said yes, because that's not messing anything up. I think you would be a good player in this situation. I don't know where the numbers are at. If it's Lisa and Kenney up there, he's sure that Kenney is gone. Moral of the story is, he's got her.

Matt gives Lisa advice. She should do things to get in the houseguests good graces like cook dinner. In her 1:1s be very genuine. He thinks it'll come down to whichever of them talks to people the most. They get up to join the game, Lisa leaving him with a promise that she would be an asset to his game; she is very loyal. He reassures her that he knows. Feeds cut.

Cam tells Matt and Kenney about Lisa asking him to use the veto on her. He says why would I ever do that when this is the first time we've talked game? He does not intend to use the veto on her. He won't use it on Kenney either - he's not using a veto this week, it would be bad for his game. Matt tells Cam and Kenney that Angela is playing too hard.

Angela and Quinn in HOH. She says she really messed up by trying to get 9 together, that was too much. And in the meantime Matt and his two worker bees are out there stirring up a strong alliance. Quinn says Matt approached him about working together, probably to join that alliance. Brooklyn comes in and joins. Angela explains that she was trying to build a consensus target and it seemed like that was Kenney, but she messed up. Feeds cut to unicorns

Angela says Lisa came at me, told me she was blindsided. I never once told her she was safe, though. I said I was comfortable with her. Angela says she gets it. Kenney feels secure. Lisa is out campaigning for votes. Angela thinks Lisa has a little tool with her, and convinced Matt to be on her side with that tool. She went in to Matt this evening and apologized, said she wouldn't mind working with him. I don't want to be perceived as a threat. Matt told me that if he gets the veto, he will use it how she wants. So when I'm down there talking to him tonight, he's got so many numbers now.

Angela is telling Joseph in the SR that she's worried Matt has him too. He says no. She says she felt like she tried to do something that would please the house and she totally messed up. She feels that the alliance they had been working on was never solidified and now no one is talking to her.

Rubina up next for her talk with Leah. Rubina says she is grateful Leah is giving her time. Rubina says I don't want to compete against Kimo (for veto) Rubina says your a grown *ss women, you make your choice. Rubina says my one fear is using it on Angela. Rubina says keep noms the same so Kimo and I have a fighting chance in the AI arena

Cam rings the HOH doorbell. he says it is 3am. Cjelsie leaves. Cam says I'm so tired. Leah says I want to see where everyone's head is at. Leah says you want to go to bed. Cam says if you use it, its your game. Cam says I don't think you should use it. It will make it harder for Quinn and it will make it hard for the 2 you don't use it on. Not using it will create less issues.

T'kor is the next one up. Leah says I love and appreciate you. She appreciates how T'kor ran her HOH. Leah says I'm here for you.T'kor says I'm grateful to be here. T'kor says I'm grateful to grow and become social. T'kor says I havent been able to play the game yet. None of my alliances I have been part of were ones I created . I was lumped into them.

Quinn says who do we take out. You are such a snake, you said you wanted Kimo out. You played me. Leah says I didn't, I'm sorry. Leah says you can't vote. Quinn says will you vote with the 5. Leah says 100%. Quinn says we need to save Joe. T'kor won't vote unless she has backing.

Angela comes down the stairs to more directly confront Matt. A: I dont' want to hear you. I"m sorry for my raised voice. THis man made me apologize in my HOH room for 30 min about a misunderstanding. You can't be pretty on the outside if you're ugly on the in. A: I love all of you. Let's just have a good time the rest of the time we are here. M: What did I do?? A: You verbally, aggressively threatened me. You know what you did. I spoke really loudly, wasn't I clear? Cam: You said you'd put her on the block. Matt: How would I put her on the block if I'm not HOH? A: I'm going to get some water.

Cedric says he thought it was a joke at first too. Mckensy thinks Angela might have a superpower too, now. They discuss what triggered the explosion and no one has a clue. Mckensy says the name calling was uncalled for. They don't like that Angela brought Matt's mom into it, saying that Matt's mom would be embarrassed by his behavior. Mckensey talks to the cameras and assures Matt's mom that he's great.

Matt says after the talent show A wanted to talk to him. A asked him to use the veto on Kenney. M said if that's what she wants. A asked him what the smartest move is. M said the whole house thinks it would be crazy to use the veto this week. He told A, why would I want to use the veto and get blood on my hands? K says that A apologized for putting him on the block, he says he told her he's fine. Tucker comes down the stairs and Matt asks him if Tucker ever felt he was aggressive. Tucker says no, but Matt did stand up right away when A came at him. T says IDK and deflects, says that's not involved and just wants to eat cookies.

Angela comes into the SR and says, she loves McKensy, she's playing the game, but she and Matt just got caught playing the game. Angela insists that Mckensy and Matt started an alliance. Mckensy says what alliance? Angela says don't insult me by lying. I can read your face. I'm going to leave because I can't be here with you lying to me.

Past 1/2 hour: T'kor and Kimo talked through his chances/possible votes in SR. Lisa switched out with T'kor. Kimo asked where her heads at. She says loyalty is super important to her and she'd like to keep her promise to vote for him, but she needs to first Talk to Angela and gather some more information. She also has to see where the rest of the house is at. Lisa is now giving Kimo a pep talk on how to talk game with people. She makes him practice on her. Kimo is struggling with the idea of campaigning. Also earlier Matt took one of Angela's white claws and shotgunned it in front of the cameras.

Matt says to Angela if I made you feel that way I apoligize. Angela says I needed that. Matt says his talk that night was that he was happy she won HOH. Matt says what Angela says was so hurtful, as a son, this is about my mom;s story, I am a side story, it is her story. The work she has done.

Matt says to Angela people tell him they are keeping him because of how he was treated. Matt says if you don't put me up. Tucker comes in and leaves. Angela says she can't decide noms, she needs help. Matt says when she makes noms, explains why not Matt and apoligize to Matt in public at the renom ceremony.

(TV) Makensy is notified she won the upgrade. America's Veto. At end of of the veto meeting, America's Veto can be used to remove someone and America will name the replacement. Power is good for 4 weeks and can only be used once. Replacement will be named on eviction night.

(TV) If one of those nominees gets vetoed, HOH will name another to ensure there is 3 on eviction night. The 3 will play in the arena and whoever wins will come off the block. The other two will return to the house and face eviction. If mascots are involved, they can compete.

(TV) Angela and Matt talking now - Matt pitching that he does not want to be the nominee. Matt says if he wins, he promises next week -- he's coming to play. Angela says it's scaring her. In the DR, Angela comments that Matt is cocky. Angela tells him that when he watches this, he's going to be sorry that she never mentioned him going on the block.

Collective Meeting starts in HOH, Kimo is not coming. Brooklyn says am I taking the minutes. Joe says the point is are we rocking with each other and to talk about veto. He wants to make sure we are not going to not nom each other. Joe does not think there are any other alliances. It is a collective mix, all different skill levels and if they trust each other, they can ride it to jury.

Rubina says she had a short talk with Joe. Rubina says we will have the numbers depending on what happens. She hopes Cedric wins. Rubina says who will win veto. T'kor says if physical Makensy or Tucker? could be Kenney. Mental? maybe Cedric. Rubina says Cedric is smart, he plays dumb

T'kor says she does want the chance to play; she guesses that's why Tucker keeps volunteering for the block. It makes her upset that Angela gets to play every game. She doesn't like when people are on the block back to back because it's like they're getting rewarded with getting to play the comps.
