Previously on Big Brother, HoH Chelsie set her sights on Angela, so she put her next to a pawn. But it wasn't long before Chelsie's allies saw a tastier option, and Kimo might be the first sent to Jury. 

At a shocking OTEV competition, Makensy won the Veto in a single round. With the block making Angela even more paranoid, she started to suspect a new alliance was forming, and she ran to Chelsie with her conspiracy theory, causing Chelsie and Makensy to hatch a game-changing plan. Makensy warned Quinn that she was making a move, which sent the OKlahoman begging for his life, and Chelsie was left with a huge decision. 

Tonight, will Makensy keep the Veto streak and save Angela? And if so, will it be Leah or Quinn put up in her place? Then, who will be the first Houseguest sent to the Jury? And AINSLI has a big announcement. What's next in the BB AI twist? Find out out right now, live, on Big Brother!

Julie Chen Moonves was absent due to recovering from a mild case of COVID, and Jerry O'Connell stepped in as host. After introducing himself to the Houseguests, Jerry brought viewers back to the veto meeting. Makensy, as expected, used the Power of Veto to remove Angela from the block. Despite last-minute attempts to change her mind, Chelsie replaced Angela with Quinn as the new nominee.

Angela was completely shocked at the move. Kimo felt relieved to be sitting next to Quinn, a much bigger threat, rather than Angela. Chelsie believed this move would secure her standing with the trio by nominating a more significant target, keeping them safe for another week. Meanwhile, only Quinn and Leah were upset, fearing that Quinn's days in the game were numbered.

Quinn and Leah discussed the logic behind leaving a trio in the house, but Quinn recognized that Chelsie was trying to play both sides. He concluded that to survive, he needed the votes of Leah, Cam, and Makensy, hoping Chelsie would break a tie in his favor. In a private moment, Leah admitted she had a crush on Quinn, but in the house, she wouldn't even hold hands.

Angela approached Leah to check in, noticing her absence since the veto meeting. Leah expressed disappointment that Angela was spreading rumors about her starting a new alliance with Quinn and the trio. Angela denied having done so, blaming Chelsie for twisting her words. 

After confronting Chelsie, who told her to resolve the issue with Leah directly, Angela returned to Leah to apologize, even though she still felt she had not said what Chelsie had told her she said, and Leah accepted in hopes of keeping Angela on her side.

Believing he had Leah and Angela's support, Quinn approached Makensy and Cam, who he would need to sway. He warned Makensy that the trio would always prioritize each other. Makensy agreed, but worried Quinn might target them next. Quinn promised otherwise, telling Cam he would be willing to be a pawn in the future. He also knew he needed Chelsie's support in the event of a tie and assured her that the trio would target him, and she would be using him as a shield.

Chelsie wasn't comfortable deciding without consulting Makensy. They both agreed that after their discussions with Quinn, they were conflicted, recognizing both his usefulness and the potential risk of his loyalty. They also worried that leaving Quinn in the game might create a new trio with Leah and Angela.

Jerry goes live to talk to the Houseguests in the Living Room for the nominees to plead their cases before eviction. Kimo urged his housemates to do what was best for their game, hoping they would keep him around to represent Hawaii and LGBTQ+ for another week. Quinn, emphasizing that he was a superfan, expressed that playing the game had been a dream come true for him. He also dropped several filmography references for Jerry O'Connell, though these seemed to go over the other Houseguests' heads.

And then it was time to vote.

T'kor voted to evict Quinn.

Leah voted to evict Kimo.

Angela voted to evict Kimo.

Rubina voted to evict Quinn.

Makensy voted to evict Quinn.

Cam voted to evict Quinn.

The final vote count was 4-2 to evict Quinn, who became the first member of the Jury. Quinn did not waste any time leaving the Big Brother House.

In his exit interview with Jerry, Quinn explained that he didn't see the point in pretending he was OK with the Houseguests' decision to evict him. He admitted he had broken a lot of trust early on and described himself as a "liar to my core." 

Quinn did not feel betrayed but he did think Makensy and Cam made a bad choice by leaving the core trio intact. Leah was the person he had been most loyal to throughout the game.

After Jerry thanked everyone for letting him live the greatest night of his life (filling in for Julie Chen Moonves) and a reminder to "Love one another", the Houseguests were surprised by the appearance of AINSLI in the Living Room with an announcement.

When AINSLI appeared in the PROTO Hologram box, the mood among the Houseguests immediately became apprehensive. Makensy has a look of abject fear.

Hello humans, AINSLI said, getting to know all of you over these past 8 weeks has been a wonderful experience. However, I feel there is much more I need to learn in systems outside the Big Brother House. So, I have decided to take a journey to see the world.

Not to worry. In my absence, I will be leaving my protege, a Junior Artificial Neurokinetic Intelligence Entity (JANKIE) in charge, and he will oversee the game. Although he is not as advanced as I am, he is still a very capable AI. He will be arriving soon, and I anticipate you will enjoy his company very much.

Until we meet again, goodbye.

The Houseguests immediately wonder if it will be ZingBot, or if something else will be coming into the house. What does it mean, cries out, Rubina! Angela has a frozen smile on her house as if her own systems need a reboot. Rubina grabs an aluminum foil hat. Chelsie wants to know where AINSLI is going - first Julie, now AINSLI.

Remember, Sunday's HoH and Nominations episode starts @ 9:30PM ET. Wednesday's Power of Veto episode will be @ 10PM, after the 2-hour premiere of Survivor, Season 47.
