There's nothing like a bit of sibling competition. Sisters Nikki and Brie Bella are going from fighting in the WWE ring to fighting in the kitchen on the Sept. 20 episode of Celebrity Beef, and E!...Just as the beginning of each season of Big Brother marks the official start of Summer, its Finale usually indicates we are well on our way into Fall. We are now just mere days away from the Big Brother 24 Finale (coming on Sunday, September 25th), with just two regular episodes left between now and Finale Night. The dust has barely settled after last week’s massive double-eviction night that sent dominant front-runner Michael Bruner to an unexpected early trip to the jury house. By the end of this week’s episodes, we were left with just four remaining houseguests: Monte, Turner, Brittany and – perhaps most unexpectedly of all given what she endured in the beginning stages of the game – Taylor. Here’s how we got to where we are now.
Last week’s major blindside of Michael left his closest ally, Brittany, reeling. He basically threw her under the bus and then left without even a goodbye. Brittany felt blindsided not only in the game, but personally, as she had grown super-close to Michael this Summer. But as the days this week would pass by, Brittany – still understandably confused – did start to make some game-sense of Michael’s actions. By the time Brittany won a much-needed POV competition, she yelled out, “That’s for you, Michael!” showing everyone that she had, for the most part, gotten over his actions in the game.
That POV win was huge, because it followed Monte winning the latest HOH. Monte and Turner seem to be the “ride-or-die” duo at this late stage in the game, and having just cleared Michael out of their way, they can taste the $750,000 grand prize. Michael left on Turner’s HOH, so Turner was not able to compete, making Monte’s HOH win all the more clutch. Monte and Taylor enter into a shocking late-stage show-mance this past week as well (which lit Twitter on fire), so Monte had hoped to keep both Turner and Taylor safe during his reign. He nominated Alyssa and Brittany, but it was Taylor who tried to get in his ear about blindsiding Turner. Should Taylor had won the POV, she could have taken Brittany down and then Monte would have had no choice but to put Turner up in his place, and then not getting to vote as HOH, Turner would have been sent to jury without Monte having much to do with it at all.
But none of that happened. Instead, Brittany ultimately saved her game, the clutch-est of clutch wins. Pulling herself off the block, Monte was forced to show where his true loyalties lied: Would he replace Brittany with Turner after all, or would he protect him and be forced to put up the only other option, his show-mance Taylor? Monte stuck with his bro, and put Taylor on the block for her FIFTH time this season (Monte also totally screwed his own interests by not getting to the backyard for the POV comp in the allotted timeframe, resulting in him not even getting to participate in the challenge).
Alyssa, the only remaining non-Leftover, wasn’t going to roll over though. To her credit she worked as hard as she could to try to convince the House that she should stay over Taylor (and she has a point…Taylor is the underdog success story of the season, and ALL of the remaining houseguests could have won the game sitting next to Alyssa, one would assume). Alyssa was super-close with Turner all season so she had hoped that she had his vote. Ironically, Turner turned on Alyssa. Brittany actually voted for Taylor (a move that might have been a mistake moving forward now that Taylor won HOH), forcing Monte to break the 1-1 tie. He sent Alyssa to jury (can’t wait to see her uncomfortable reunion with Kyle next week!).
The most recent HOH comp played out live on TV, with a cheese-tastic, TikTok-style video montage with host Julie Chen-Moonves at the center of the trivia competition. This too went to a tie-breaker, between Brittany and Taylor, but Taylor ended up winning. That’s right, the person who was vilely mistreated for no real reason for the first month of the game, is now HOH at Final Four, guaranteed a spot at Finale, and is the sole remaining female in the game (sorry “Girls Girls” alliance). It’s quite a ride, quite a story, and no matter how it finishes, Taylor’s is one of the most remarkable arcs in the history of Big Brother.
Taylor‘s HOH win at Final Four keeps her safe and cements her in the Final Three, but her nominations this week are actually quite useless. It really all comes down to who wins the ever-important POV. Regardless of who is nominated, it is the POV winner who essentially chooses who goes to jury next. Let’s say for example that Taylor nominates Brittany and Turner, but Brittany wins the next POV. She would be safe and would pull herself down, and the only other option for replacement would be Monte. With Taylor as HOH and Turner and Monte on the block in this scenario, Brittany would then be the only vote, and would get to decide who goes home. So it all comes down to that POV.
In other words, Brittany really needs to win. I do see a scenario where if Taylor were to win POV, she would send Turner home. I don’t think Monte sends Turner home and I don’t see Turner sending Monte home. Of Monte, Turner and Brittany, I think Monte is in the best spot, as unless Turner wins POV and decides to make a huge unexpected move and takes out Monte. But I am thinking that Monte and Taylor will be locked in Final Three, with either Turner or Brittany filling out that final spot.
You may have noticed I’ve used the word “unexpected” more than a few times already…this is Big Brother after all.
There is just TWO episodes remaining leading into the Big Brother 24 Finale. On Sunday, we will see who Taylor nominates (unimportant) as well as who wins that all-important final POV comp of the Summer. There is no Big Brother next Wednesday (tune in to the premiere of Survivor 43 instead!) and then Thursday will give us the final Live Eviction episode, setting the stage for Finale Night on Sunday, September 25th. Will it be Monte, Taylor, Turner or Brittany who wins the grand prize? Who will be crowned as America’s Favorite Houseguest? Expect the unexpected!
BB SCOREBOARD:
Current HOH: Taylor
Nominations: TBD

The post Big Brother 24 Week 10 Recap: The Final Four Is Set, Finale Night Is In Sight appeared first on Reality Tea.
It seems like every year Married At First Sight allows one person to essentially be mistreated and/or bullied by their partner. I don’t know about anyone else, but I am uncomfortable watching the dynamic between one of the couples. I don’t know if production just doesn’t care or they encourage it for TV drama. As much as I like some good gossip, watching Binh cower around his wife doesn’t make me feel good.
Having just passed the one month milestone in their marriages, the husbands and wives open up further to their spouses. They return to their roots and share more about their past. The couples work to build a stronger future together. Let’s get straight to the recap.
The guys and girls meet separately to talk about their experiences. Binh and Morgan share the state of their marriage after he confided in Justin. They are officially separated after she decided to move out. It’s interesting, the men (and me) don’t think he did anything wrong. Apparently, she can create a narrative about him to the women, but he can’t confide in just Justin? The women rally around Morgan and decide to crash the men’s gathering.
Upon arriving, Morgan immediately shares her feelings with the group and accuses Binh of lying and betraying her. Nate is the only one to stand up for him, by questioning her aggressive demeanor. Binh is so passive that it is not a good look to gaslight and bully him in front everyone. I honestly think they are better off divorcing. This relationship has become very toxic. He literally lost 7 pounds from stress due to this situation!
Binh and Morgan meet with Dr. Pepper Schwartz to discuss their issues. He immediately takes accountability for his actions. But Morgan doesn’t seem to see anything she has done wrong and plays the victim. Does she not realize she may not be the easiest person to talk to, especially about something relating to herself? Also, ever since he revealed his self-esteem issues, she has gotten even more brutal in her approach.
Lindy admits that she struggles with distinguishing control from help while talking to Dr. Pepper. She is still unsure of how to be a good wife. Miguel quickly reassures her that he thinks she is doing a good job. Later, Miguel reveals to Lindy that he loves her out of the blue. Of course, she happily returns the same sentiment. Well, I definitely didn’t see that coming. I thought with some of Miguel’s comments he would be one of the last men to say it, if at all.
Stacia admits that she moves faster than Nate. Initially she expected him to match her speed. Nate agrees he has issues opening up and now is actively trying to make his wife feel heard. Dr. Pepper gives them some sage advice on how to progress and give each other grace. Later,
Nate and Stacia read letters to their younger self. She is surprised by how much he is opening up during their conversation. I guess Nate either is feeling more comfortable with his wife or he truly wants to show her, he is trying. I really hope this ends up as a happy ending, but there is something that is just telling me that everything isn’t as it seems here.
When Dr. Pepper visits, Alexis reveals that Justin‘s dog trainer told them his dog still is displaying aggressive behavior. They made the decision to not allow Justin’s dog back in their home. Obviously this is a difficult and emotional decision for him since he has had him for years. Alexis reveals that she has issues being vulnerable and putting herself in a position to be hurt. I think everyone can see that is the case. But, they both are actively working on their individual and joint issues.
Justin shows Alexis where he grew up. Through their conversation, she gets a better understanding of why he is so hard on himself. His 19 year old brother raised him when he was only 13 years old. When he had questions, he was constantly told to figure things out himself. Alexis quickly connects this to why he gets so upset when he makes a mistake. Listening to Justin made me sad. Instead of describing this situation as difficult, he believes it taught him how to be independent. Alexis shares how her love of sports and how it made her into the woman she is today.
Krysten opens up to Dr. Pepper about overcompensating in her marriage to make Mitch happy. She still feels insecure about him telling her he wasn’t interested initially. But Mitch claims that he genuinely wants to show up in his marriage & not allow fear to get in the way. I don’t know if Mitch can be what his wife needs, but I guess we will have to wait and see.
Mitch shares a walk down memory lane by taking Krysten through his life in pictures. During his stories, she gets a better understanding of why he is the way he is. She even wishes she knew this information ahead of time because she would have been more patient. Sigh! I don’t know how much more patient she could be with him. Let’s be real, Krysten has given Mitch a lot of grace.
