Good job.

But I don't think that's the man he is.
He made a mistake.
- People say not to play emotional.
I play emotional.
- Me too. - All right?
- Right. - Because sometimes,
you need to be emotional and put it all on the line.
- I'm working with Fessy, and I consider Fessy
one of my good friends.
But they also try to throw in my face,
"Didn't Fessy go against you in the hall, bro?
Didn't he put a knife in your back?"
Well, maybe it's your time to put a knife in his back.
- So Nelson's made it clear
that he does not wanna pick the safe dagger.
How do you feel about that?
- Olivia and Moriah are the two girls
that I've gotten the closest to here.
So I'm literally put in the hard place too,
in the middle of choosing between both
of my friends, the two people
who have had my back this entire time.
To me, I feel the same way.
I'm like, "I'd rather not pick the safe dagger."
- You've really been able to ride the middle.
And so everyone's kind of got a question mark next to you,
like which way do you guys ride?
- It's just like, I know that you have Kaycee over me.
- You got Bananas too.
- You got Bananas, you know what I mean?
So I know that, like, sometimes our personal relationships
can affect, you know, where we go in the game.
- I mean, I don't take it personal, you know, at all.
I know it's a game, and this is just
where the cards lie right now.
It's just like when we went early on, even though it was
early on, out of respect for Aneesa,
I was like, "Off the table."
- I see a common theme that's starting to happen
where people are like, "We could've thrown you in,
but we didn't."
Am I supposed to be happy that you could have but you didn't?
That kind of "favor," if you will, doesn't last long.
- At this point, I don't really [bleep] care because I was
looking for a reason to [bleep] be able
to throw Aneesa in, like, if that's how she's rocking.
And all of a sudden, you wanna throw me in
over Amber and Chauncey.
So it's, like, all bets are off now.
Like, I'm glad that [bleep] happened because now,
I don't have to feel no, like--
- Type of way.
- Yeah, they can't guilt trip me [bleep].
Like, when I went, like, you know you're
[bleep] going in now, and I don't wanna hear
no if, ands, buts about it.
It sucks that it had to come to this.
But it kind of feels like a big weight has been lifted
off my shoulders because now that she took a shot at me,
it's, like, I get it. It's game.
It's nothing personal.
I don't hate you, Aneesa.
But now I don't have to look out for you in this game.
- Life is easier when they shoot first.
- And it just makes the game easier.
Now it's straight competition.
I don't wanna hear no [bleep] lovey dovey feelings.
Don't hug them, you don't be crying
in interrogation when I win talking about,
"How could you do this to me?
You're my brother."
No, [bleep] this. It's [bleep] game.
Let's play.
- I don't know. I don't know what's going on.
Maybe she's just--you know how she gets
when stuff like this happens.
So I'm trying to take that in consideration.
But I don't appreciate that energy 'cause I don't--
I don't treat her that way.
- Whenever something was wrong on her end,
it was taken all out on you.
- Always, I don't know why.
- And you never done it to her.
So it doesn't make sense.
- I have never treated her any kind of way
for her to talk to me the way she does sometimes,
and it really bothers me.
- Amber went to go give Michele a hug,
and she basically shoved her out the way.
So Amber felt some type of way.
She has never disrespected Michele once.
So it's not clicking on why we're getting
backlash for their decisions.
- I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I'm trying to be a good friend to somebody.
I just think it's just disrespectful.
Like, I did nothing to you.
- That's facts.

- Jordan and I are actually getting to know each other.
We have so much in common.
And honestly, I'm just excited to continue
to get to know him.
- What did he say to you?
- That they didn't know where we stood,
and that's why we're down there.
- When Jordan and Aneesa walked into the game,
y'all had a chance to throw them in.
- Yeah, we didn't.
- And you didn't - I know.
- But that's like--it's like, at this point,
it's like, all right, cool.
At least we know who shot the first shot.
- Yeah.
- It makes it easier to shoot back.
What sucks the most right now is pulling the dagger.
If I had to pull the dagger, it's like,
"You're gonna make me choose now, bro?"
I'm like, "What the [bleep], bro?
How are we in this predicament?
- Yeah. It's like I don't know
who's gonna be down there.
It's either gonna be Fessy, it's Olivia, you.
I don't know, you could pull the dagger too.
So... - I don't know.
Let's see what it is. 'Cause one

I just hope it's physical.

feel out of place or sad.
I know I get heated.
This is the way that I am.
I get emotional.
Like, I am a multifaceted person.
I cannot help that.
I'm not one way all the time.
And so if I feel something, you know it.
But what I also lay out on the table very clearly
is that my love for you is always there, always.
Like, you would know if it wasn't, you know.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So you may not feel the same for me right now
because you may be upset with me.
- No, nothing changes on my end.
I don't ever wanna be like,
"I'm not gonna talk to Michele."
I want you to know I'm here.
- Amber and I connect in this game as friends
because we're both really emotional.
We play with our hearts,
and I understand that about her.
I don't like seeing her feel this way.
I don't want to be the one who ever hurts her.
- When I was nominated, and you were my friend,
I just wanted to be that for you.
And I didn't feel that you were allowing me to.
And that bothered me.
- I see my name up there,
and I may play all jokey and jovial.
But you know how much of my heart is in this game.
- Right. I don't want you to feel alone in the game
'cause sometimes I do.
And, like, I just want you to know
you still have a person, you know.
- At the end of the day, there is nobody in this game
besides Jay who I love more than you, truly, win or lose,
or whatever happens, there is nobody.

- He doesn't, yeah. - But we do.
- I am so nervous.
But me and Horacio have hope that we will pull the safe.
I don't really wanna have a conversation with Nelson
because I actually have real feelings for this man.
So when you have feelings for someone,
the game can get very confusing.
I don't want to make him feel like
he is obligated to choosing me.
Would I like him to?
Duh!
But I want him to do it
because it's right for him,
not because I'm begging.

It's been getting down to, you know,
that point where no matter what you're gonna hurt feelings.
- Hopefully, you know, I don't have to make that decision
because I still have no clue.
- Yeah. - No clue.
- I know that this game is gonna be hard,
and it's not all about friendships,
and sometimes you have to put your friendships aside
and make the best decision for your own game.
Nelson and I are just hoping that
we don't pull the safe dagger.
We're hoping that the fate lies in somebody else's hand.
We're connected with everybody.
- Yeah, I know. - Everybody.
Maybe these decisions might affect your friendships
outside of this house.
But I'm trying to get that million dollars.
If we pull the safe dagger,
don't care too much about hurting people's feelings.
Worry about your game.
- I've always put my heart in front of everything,
but you're right, maybe I need to put my feelings aside.
Why haven't I won a final yet?
I think it's because I've put my friends

As you can see, there are two giant wheels right here
in the middle of the Zone.
To begin, one of you is gonna be strapped
to the outside of that wheel,
while the other one is on the inside in charge
of spinning it back and forth.
And your goal tonight is to solve a puzzle
by utilizing the three poles along this track.
Communication is key. You can never put
a bigger piece on top of a smaller one.
You're gonna spin back and forth as many times
as it takes to rebuild the pyramid
at the end of the track.

this game for a long time.
But I know that Fessy hasn't always
been truthful with him
and I'm definitely not happy about it at all.

You know, I saw that she was really happy with Nelson.

kind of just a jerk move.

we will be a good attribute

I am one of the top competitors hands down.
I can run and do all of it,

Now I'm here. Let me win one.

I hate how people always say, like, "Oh, you're a rookie."
I wanna go against all the odds.
Why can't a rookie, rookie team make it to the final?
Why can't a rookie, rookie team win this entire thing?
I wanna make my family proud and prove to myself
that I could do whatever I put my mind to.
