“It’s Whoever Takes Him Out Wins”: Taylor And Drew Race To Cut Devens

Taylor won part one of the final HOH, and overnight she and Drew agreed on how the season ends: whoever takes out Devens wins. Dee went home Thursday on Drew’s vote, and Drew says keeping Devens guaranteed him second place. Three are left on Big Brother 28, and Drew and Devens play part two next.

12:01 AM — Devens and Taylor (Kitchen)

Taylor won part one of the final HOH.

Taylor: “It always followed with a f—… Because, oh, my God, f—. I think the last time I said, f— you.”
Devens: “Who came up with that?”
Taylor: “That’s what I’m saying. Who come up with this stuff, bro?”
Devens: “And you’re just waiting for it… Because sometimes it would do a whole rain cycle and not do it.”
Taylor: “It always caught you off guard. Bam. That’s why I just kept doing it with this arm, because I was so scared that if I was, I would do that… So I was like, one arm, one arm in it. And even when we was going backwards and I had to do two arms, I had one hand here and I put all the weight on this hand.”
Devens: “Was yours pulling you forward, like your kite?”
Taylor: “My kite was heavy.”
Devens: “I thought it was going to be there to help us balance. It’s like, oh, no. It was heavy.”

Taylor: “Like, you’re fighting it the whole time… That’s why I couldn’t look down at the thing, because I was like… I don’t know, it was making me dizzy.”
Devens: “I was like, one, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.”
Taylor: “Wow, because every time I looked at you, I was like, how is he doing that? Oh, my God. Like, I was impressed. I was so impressed. I was like, I can’t do it. One time I almost fell. I don’t know if you saw it.”
Devens: “I saw that. You almost fell forward… Oh, she’s going to drop her thing.”
Devens: “That was crazy. And I was shocked when Drew went.”
Taylor: “Me too. Oh, damn. I was not expecting Drew. But I saw him struggling. The way he was leaning and… He hadn’t found the one hand thing yet… That was a game changer. And it was right when they shocked him, he fell. I said, oh, the shock. That shock, boy. Shocked him.”

Later, missed school days.

Taylor: “What’s the number? Anything over 10 missed days of school starts to affect their learning.”
Devens: “Oh, yeah, they’d be fine. They’re bright kids, and I’m sure they do work on the way… And both their schools would support them doing that. I mean, that’s a great life experience.”
Taylor: “That’s what I’m saying. If they’re not struggling… that is a great life experience. I know when I have children, we’re going on vacation, we’re going on vacation. You know what I’m saying?”
Devens: “See the world. You can miss school.”
Taylor: “Yeah, just like you have sick days from work. It’s okay to, you know. Even a mental health day. Like, Mom, I don’t feel like going to school today.”
Devens: “100%.”
Devens: “I take mental health days from work before, just like, you know what? I’m going to take today and just catch up on all this crap I got to do at home. Or not.”
Taylor: “Do nothing… And that’s okay. We got to give ourselves permission to do nothing.”

Devens: “I’m so excited to be going into no job… I can’t even tell you. It’s been a long time since I’ve had no job. With COVID, I guess I had no job for a while, but I was home with the kids all the time.”
Devens: “I’m going to be cooking… I’m going to be cleaning. I’m going to be finishing the basement… I’m going to be walking the dogs. I can’t even wait to be Mr. Domestic Dad.”

Taylor asks how long his wife will put up with it.

Devens: “Probably January. She’ll give me as long as… as long as Cameo’s paying the bills.”
Devens: “She loves when I’m home doing the laundry, making meals and stuff. It’s like she’s got a housekeeper. Makes life a lot easier for her.”
Taylor: “Now you’re really about to go up.”
Taylor: “No, because I remember you said Cameo do better than regular job.”
Devens: “Dude… When it’s popping, it’s crazy… Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, huge. Christmas gonna be huge. Graduation season, huge.”
Devens: “I think they said Mother’s Day is their biggest… Because people don’t know what to get Mom, and they’re just like, oh, I’ll get a Cameo. I know she loves Big Brother. Her favorite Big Brother player.”

Taylor: “Can I do at least… is it enough requests to do one a day, or no?”
Devens: “Yeah, I mean, I was doing like 16.”
Taylor: “A day?”
Devens: “A day.”
Taylor: “Stop f—ing playing.”
Devens: “Yeah. Oh, hell yeah.”
Devens: “No, one a day should be totally fine. Bare minimum… Like, I feel bad increasing the price, but if I’m getting… 16 a day, I’m like, that’s too much. I’ve got to increase my price because I can’t do that many. I’d come home from work and be doing Cameos for two hours.”

Taylor: “Yeah, you can charge $100. You’re a three-timer reality star.”
Devens: “When I left, it was like $109, but like… Before 50, it was like 35.”
Taylor: “Dollars?”
Taylor: “Oh, yeah, because you had played like seven years ago.”
Devens: “Because it had been like seven years. You know, you’re competing against the market of other Survivor players.”
Taylor: “So I’d probably be at like, what do you think? You think 75 is too much?”
Devens: “Dude, I have no idea. It’s based on the edit. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re at 100. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re at 75.”

Taylor: “Yeah, they might hate me.”
Devens: “Hating and like doesn’t matter. Because sometimes the most hated people, oh, I’m going to get a Cameo from her telling my friend that he’s an idiot. You know what I mean?”

He tells her to use him as her referral. They go back and forth over who keeps the bonus.

Taylor: “I wouldn’t have known about it if it wasn’t for you.”
Devens: “People will be like, hey, I need to make a Cameo for my mom and dad… Like, we’re having a baby. I’ll be like, hey, there’s a new member to the tribe.”
Taylor: “Oh, that’s cute. I like that.”
Devens: “Dude, I bet a bunch of people are already doing them. I bet Kamu and Mallory and… Mallory is cooking. Jason. Although Jason said he might have already been on there, maybe.”
Taylor: “Maybe. But now he can do it in drag. He can do it in drag every day and just do Cameos.”
Devens: “Right. Do all the drag ones, then do all the non-drag ones.”
Taylor: “Oh, I love it.”
Devens: “I’m so excited… So we’ll be competing against each other, too.”

Taylor: “I wonder when y’all doing part two.”
Devens: “Drew and I were talking about that. Like, I wonder if it’ll be part two and then the dinner, or the dinner and then part two.”
Taylor: “I think it’s usually part two and then the dinner.”

At 12:21, food. Devens asks if she’s doing steak and potatoes.

Taylor: “Maybe I should do a baked potato… Because I could throw it in the microwave.”
Taylor: “And then they gave me shrimp. They hear me talk about shrimp all the time. They gave me some shrimp… Surf and turf.”

Then Dee.

Taylor: “It’s crazy. I mean, I’m sure Dee’s all right. Dee’s fine, but what do you think she’s thinking?”
Devens: “She’s been through this.”
Devens: “But she’s a baller… She knows what’s up.”
Devens: “I’m sure she’s annoyed that we are great friends and like each other, but we’re very competitive. I’m sure she’s like, damn it… I can’t believe he went further than I did. Because that’s what I’d be thinking.”
Taylor: “Yeah, but you’re also due for a win. You deserve a win. So if you won this game, nobody could ever be mad at you, because you deserve to win.”
Devens: “I feel good about the three of us… Everybody’s got their own little story to tell… You never know what a jury’s thinking.”

Devens: “This is the furthest I’ve ever made it on a show. It’s weird. I’m having an identity crisis.”
Taylor: “What, imposter syndrome?”
Devens: “I’m like, well, no, I’m just like, I’m a Survivor. Like, I’m a Survivor. Like, all season on this, it’s like, I’m a Survivor, Survivor. So now I’m like, I’ve made it further on Big Brother than Survivor… Am I better at Big Brother than Survivor? Like, that doesn’t seem right.”
Taylor: “Maybe that’s why they called you, though… They probably watched you play and say, he would be great at Big Brother.”
Devens: “During the game, I was like, you know what? There could be a path. But, like, coming into it, I told the kids, I was like, listen, I’m pretty sure I’m going to be home before jury. Like, don’t worry about it… I was like, you know Daddy. He plays pretty big. I think I’m going to be home quick.”

Neither of them has seen the jury house.

Devens: “The idea of it. Being able to sleep in. No cameras. Being able to eat where I want, like more alcohol. No cameras. Chilling. Being able to just walk away from people and not care about games.”
Taylor: “Watching movies. Music, whatever you want to hear.”
Devens: “I would sometimes, when things were looking bad, I’d go, wow, worst case scenario… I’d get my own room. Chilling. I’d dream about the night in sequester.”

Even tonight, he says, he had talked himself into being fine with fourth place and a hotel room.

Devens: “But obviously, this is incredible. This is the best thing.”
Taylor: “This is the best case scenario.”
Devens: “I think everybody is so proud of us. Everyone wishes they were us.”
Taylor: “Oh, my God. And our family’s going to be in a crowd on Thursday?”
Devens: “That’s crazy. That’s crazy.”

Taylor can’t wait to see her mom. Making the final three means Devens sees his wife a day or two sooner.

Devens: “It’s also been just so much more fun than I ever thought it would be… I was like, you’re stuck in a house? You don’t get to go make up stuff and run around an island?”
Taylor: “Oh, I didn’t tell you… I had a dream that I was on Survivor last night. And I hated it.”
Devens: “What did you hate about it?”
Taylor: “The guy was laying in what looked like a quicksand pool… And he would sleep in it, but he wasn’t sinking.”
Taylor: “And then I turned, and then there was another guy, like, laying on a log, like, with a blue shirt on, kind of similar to the blue shirt you had on today… And I remember just, I’m like, in my dream, the emotion was like, I hate this s—.”
Devens: “That’s so funny.”

Taylor: “And then we got into this van… And then there was a rat inside of the van. But it was his pet rat. It was the driver’s pet rat. And I was just so disgusted, like, the whole time. But everybody was so comfortable, and I think that’s what disgusted me the most.”
Devens: “That’s so funny.”
Devens: “Every once in a while I have to remind myself like, wait, remember the days where it just rained and rained and you were like, you could not imagine being more miserable in your life. Like, don’t forget about those days.”

Taylor: “You about to make coffee?”
Devens: “No, no.”
Taylor: “I was going to say, you tripping.”
Devens: “I’m getting ready for the morning, since I’m the only coffee drinker now.”
Taylor: “I was going to say, yeah, because me and Drew don’t drink coffee.”

Taylor: “I would play Survivor, but like I said, they got to call me. I’m not turning down nobody who calls me for any show in a CBS universe. Let me say that.”
Devens: “No, I understand that. Even if you say you would, once they call… I literally said I would never play Big Brother.”
Taylor: “Stop.”
Devens: “I said no. I said it’s too long. It’s so long.”

On his wife:

Taylor: “You speak so highly of her. You guys are just goals.”
Devens: “She’s the best, man. I hit the jackpot.”
Taylor: “You did. She did, too.”

Devens: “A week from tonight. So exciting. So close… All right. I’m going to use the bathroom. I’m going to get ready for bed. Hey. Congrats on final three… Congrats on part one.”
Taylor: “I appreciate you, Devens.”
Taylor: “I had to get this part one, because I can’t handle… Lord knows I just be like, the anxiety itself will make me lose.”
Devens: “One less thing to worry about… Just like I had to get that HOH. Let Drew and I stress.”
Taylor: “So I’m just going to, this week I’m going to take out my hair and I’m just going to, I guess, work on my speech.”

Taylor: “God is good. Thank you. All praises to you and you only.”

1:08 AM — Taylor and Drew (Kitchen)

Taylor, alone first.

Taylor: “This kitchen is too much for me. I can’t take it. I can’t take it. I can’t take it. It’s too much s— everywhere all the time.”
Taylor: “I want SusieCakes. My birthday is on Tuesday. I want SusieCakes. Red velvet.”
Taylor: “Angela, I know Angela wants her thing, because Angela scrapbooks every f—ing thing.”

Drew comes in.

Taylor: “The funny thing is, I think the funniest part is me not knowing that I finished.”
Drew: “Because you were locked in. You know you can win this whole thing, like, genuinely.”
Taylor: “I have to win, though.”
Drew: “I think you can still win. That’s what I’m saying.”
Taylor: “I have to win on Thursday.”
Drew: “But I think you’re the favorite to do so. They’re all questions from your friends.”
Drew: “Like, you would know Lala’s answer… You would know Angela. You would know Yash. You would know Melody. And you’d probably know Barrett. Like, you could win this whole thing.”
Taylor: “That’s the thing. I have to get to the seat. You made a good move today, though. Keeping Dee.”

Drew: “Get rid of Dee.”
Taylor: “For you? Over Devens. Yeah, because you’ve guaranteed yourself at least second place.”
Taylor: “No, I looked and I thought about it and I said, that was smart as f—.”
Drew: “If I got rid of Devens, I don’t think either of you would have taken me to the end.”
Taylor: “You would have won because you got rid of Devens.”
Drew: “But I don’t think either of you would have taken me.”

Taylor on part one.

Taylor: “I got mad as f—. That’s why I won. That’s why I wanted to win… I said, I’m about to win this s— because I’m pissed. Every time they shocked me, I was like, oh, f— you. I gotta win this s—.”
Taylor: “So, for me, it’s win or lose. There’s no in between.”
Drew: “I’m practically guaranteed myself to be 75.”
Taylor: “You’re guaranteed. You are guaranteed 75.”
Drew: “Which is smart. Which is okay.”
Taylor: “Which is smart, but if you want to win, you have to take me.”
Taylor: “F— all that s—. Play to win. It’s time to win… F— all that. Loyalty s—. Win. You hear me? Win.”

Taylor: “75 ain’t s— compared to 750. Lock in. I don’t want to see all that crying s—… You better win… You can win. You better win. That’s the truth of the matter.”
Taylor: “Nobody came here to get second place. Don’t be dumb.”
Taylor: “And then a lot of times, people take their final two because they think they can beat them. You know, like, Makensy took Chelsie because she thought she could beat Chelsie. Cody took Derrick because he thought he could beat Derrick. Not because they wanted second place.”
Drew: “I know.”
Taylor: “So, lock in. You would make me so mad if you did that s—.”
Drew: “No, I know. I was already thinking about Derrick today.”

Taylor: “But today, you made a smart move. You made the best move. You did.”
Drew: “I’m sure Dee’s in the jury just lighting my ass up, saying I just do whatever Devens says. But it wasn’t that.”
Taylor: “It’s guaranteeing yourself.”
Drew: “Guaranteeing yourself in the final two chairs.”
Taylor: “Exactly. And you did that. And I’m proud of you.”
Drew: “Maybe I could talk my way, but also I think it’s whoever takes him out.”
Taylor: “It’s whoever takes him out wins. And we both know that. That’s what I’m saying. After this week, it ain’t no talking about who you take, why you take him. We all know why and what to do. And you came here to win. So win. So we’re both in a race to take out Devens.”
Drew: “It’s pretty much like last season when we were at the race to take out Morgan.”

Part two.

Taylor: “I think it’s going to be something that’s more like, it’s not going to be as endurance-y. It’s going to have an aspect of, like, of course physical, but it’s going to be… Yeah, it’s like a mixture.”
Drew: “Which, like, he might be okay at.”
Taylor: “No, but you’re good.”
Drew: “…I was going to ask you. I was like, tomorrow I might need you to help me study.”
Taylor: “Yeah, because I need your ass to win. Because if I don’t win, s—, I need second place.”
Drew: “You want me to win.”
Taylor: “I do. Exactly. If I don’t win, I want you to win. Because, s—, I want at least second place… I’m not dumb.”

Taylor: “I wasn’t going to win that because it’s the same reason why I couldn’t win the wall. The shoulder’s messed up… This shoulder’s messed up, so that’s why I dropped from the wall. And that’s another reason why I kept holding with this hand.”
Taylor: “Because I told you last week, I said I would have to take you. I have no choice but to take you if I want to win.”
Drew: “I think you probably would have taken Dee.”
Taylor: “I don’t know who I would have took. If it was me and Dee. Like, genuinely. Let me think… You know I’ve never lied.”
Taylor: “If you would have took out Devens earlier… he would have had time to get over it and you would have had his vote.”
Drew: “I thought about that, too.”
Taylor: “Because he said himself to me and Dee that you usually vote for people who play like you… And you taking him out early, he would have respected it. He just needed time to get over it.”
Taylor: “…Yash respects the game. I’ve learned that about him. He respects the game.”

Taylor: “It probably would have been smarter for me to take Dee, only because it would have been down to questions… Not down to votes, which you would have had.”
Drew: “I don’t think either of you would have taken me.”
Taylor: “I like this part of the game… Because there ain’t no f—ing secrets.”
Drew: “For me, it was like, I forced both of you guys to take me.”
Drew: “Which is like, you know, that’s great. It’s like an insurance policy. You get second, but it’s like, you get second.”
Taylor: “Yeah, but just win. Yeah, just win… I don’t care about that s—. Just win.”
Drew: “But it’s funny that you connected the dots on that.”
Taylor: “Oh, you know I ain’t dumb. Never been. Never claiming to be… That was insurance. Insurance on 75. And that’s exactly what you did. So I get it. I get it.”

Drew: “I’ll walk out of here with at least 75, which isn’t bad… Which is all right for 22.”
Drew: “I’m definitely gunning for it.”
Taylor: “I hope so.”
Drew: “And, like, it’s in your best interest as well.”
Taylor: “Oh, f— yeah.”
Drew: “Like, you make bank.”
Taylor: “I plan to make bank.”
Drew: “You make bank if I win, or you make bank if you win. You make more bank, obviously.”

Who Devens takes.

Taylor: “No, but he’s actually going to take you… Because he still wins, and he knows that people don’t like you.”
Drew: “He knows people don’t like me… We pissed off the same people.”
Taylor: “Yeah, I’ve pissed off the same people, but people like him more.”
Taylor: “He played it better. Yeah, y’all did the same s—. Y’all literally are the same game. Yours is just a little bit more out there… That’s why he’s going to take you. I’m a little bit more likable.”
Drew: “Like, I don’t have Lala’s vote. Ever. If I’m sitting next to you or him.”
Taylor: “My Lala is your Melody. We get their vote regardless. It’s a love vote.”
Drew: “And, like, I’m not completely confident on Melody.”
Taylor: “…It’s love. Love trumps all. Every time.”

Drew: “…Just know. I ain’t throwing that second part. I’m gunning for that game.”
Taylor: “I’m just saying, it ain’t no more throwing the game… You ain’t come here to lose. I hope nobody came here to f—ing lose.”
Taylor: “Nobody chooses second. I don’t think nobody chooses second place on purpose. I’ve never seen that. They chose it by accident… And I think he knows that too. He knows it’s a race to get him out. I said that s— last night to his face.”
Drew: “You said what?”
Taylor: “I said it to his face last night.”
Drew: “You did?”
Taylor: “He was right there. I’m nice to people and they still hate me. I said, Devens, it’s because you’re going to f—ing win.”
Taylor: “He got quieted… And it’s almost as if it’s f—ing impossible to get your ass out. It feels impossible to get out, bro.”

Drew: “Dude, I was going back and forth… For two damn days.”
Drew: “I think, like, if I got him out, I would be the new Devens.”
Drew: “I would be the new dad.”
Taylor: “Yeah. That’s what I’m saying. You would have had to win… You still have to win.”
Drew: “I had to win anyway.”
Taylor: “Yeah, you have to win anyway, but at least you know you got second place. That’s what I’m saying. It was a smarter move.”

Then the whole game.

Drew: “Dude, you and me have been clocking each other’s s— this whole game.”
Taylor: “What should you be clocking? Tell me. Let me know. What you be clocking? What you be clocking, baby boy? Let me know. I want to know what you know since we here. Ain’t no secrets no more.”
Drew: “No, you’ve done a great job this whole game. You’ve crushed… I think you’ve played a very, like, Ashley game… You’re a little bit more of an active player… Any time Yash or Lala won HOH, it was pretty much yours. Like, let’s be for real. Whenever Yash or Lala won, it was all your ideas.”
Taylor: “Yeah, but you got to catch Yash before he get to his finish line on his thoughts.”
Drew: “Because once it’s set, it’s set with Yash… If you’re the first person in his ear, you’re ready to go. And you’re always the first person in his ear… And same with Melody. The second Melody won that double, you’re the first person to pull her in.”
Taylor: “I don’t like being the loudest person in the room.”
Drew: “Well, you’re the first person to talk behind closed doors, which is smart.”
Taylor: “Yeah, I don’t like a loud game.”

Drew: “But also, like, you’ve watched. You do a lot of watching and observing.”
Taylor: “A lot of listening, actually. More listening than anything.”
Drew: “But be honest, were you throwing competitions?… I was like, if she was, I was like, this chick is a baller.”
Taylor: “No, I always knew I never had to win, though… I always knew I never had to win.”
Taylor: “I wasn’t throwing them, though. The ones I actually was trying to, I almost won.”
Drew: “Yeah, you definitely, well, you won the veto. Yeah. You almost won the slip and slide one.”
Taylor: “Yeah, I was never going home… No, I was trying, though. This s— was hard… I haven’t won s— till the very damn end.”

Drew threw early, he says, and Taylor says everybody knew.

Taylor: “You gave it away at that wall.”
Drew: “I even threw that veto that you won. I was on the damn block.”
Taylor: “How do you throw that?”
Drew: “You can’t throw that. When I went to Haley for the second time, I said, don’t take the drink.”
Taylor: “She did say you said that to her. She was mad… She was mad as f— that you said… You know she carries everything… She talked about you saying that for weeks, bro.”
Taylor: “She literally was like, yeah, and he told me that he gave it to me. And something told me not to believe his ass. She said that for weeks.”
Drew: “It’s funny, though, that you guys clocked my s— on the wall. Because that’s when I definitely felt like I, like, blew it… Like, I could have just fallen earlier.”
Taylor: “Uh-uh. No, no, no, no. That’s the thing with in here. Once you start winning, you got to keep winning.”

Drew: “I actually lost the 80s workout one.”
Taylor: “How do you lose that? I was actually trying to win.”
Drew: “I was not. Like, you guys had the better stride. Like, you guys dug your heels in on that first thing… And I was like, oh, I suck.”
Taylor: “But also, I was looking back… I was looking over at you… I said, he ain’t playing for real, bro. This dude is funny as hell. You are hilarious.”
Drew: “I guess Angela would get so mad.”
Taylor: “Why would Angela get mad?”
Drew: “She would tell Devens, f—ing Drew is throwing everything.”
Taylor: “Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I heard that. I heard that. Angela, okay, Angela sometimes was wrong, but when she was right, she was right.”

Drew: “She either, like, knew everything, like you were like, oh my God, she’s a genius. Or she was like, oh, she’s just paranoid.”
Taylor: “Yeah, it was like, sometimes her paranoia would be correct. And then other times it’s like, Angela, absolutely not. Absolutely not… I love Angela… She’s so stinking cute, though.”
Drew: “I love her. Yeah. I can’t help but love her.”
Taylor: “You know, Melody used to be like, he f—ing loves Angela, and I don’t know why… Yeah, she’d get mad.”
Taylor: “So just know that Melody’s in there making sure that if you take out Devens, you have Angela’s.”
Taylor: “You’ll win if you take them out, for sure. There’s no questions asked.”

The jury math.

Drew: “I’ve just got to win it… Like, it’s in your best interest to help me study.”
Taylor: “I know that.”
Drew: “I don’t think he’d ever take you… And I think, like, you would have a good shot, too. Like, I don’t think you would win, but I do think you have enough people in there where it scares them. You got enough friends in there.”
Taylor: “Oh, you’re saying if I’m sitting next to him?”
Drew: “Yeah.”
Taylor: “Oh, he’s not taking me.”
Drew: “I don’t think he would. I think he’d return the favor… Because he knows he would still win sitting next to you. And he, yeah. He loves me too much.”
Drew: “But we both have our people in there doing our work.”

Taylor: “Melody, Barrett, you’ll have Angela.”
Drew: “And Dee, I still think. And probably Yash. It’d be a 6-1… But I think if you do it, you’d sweep. I don’t think Melody would vote for me. I think she’d want to be on the right side of it.”
Drew: “You’d sweep. Unanimous.”
Taylor: “Once again, it’s just a race… Yeah, it’s a race.”
Drew: “Right now, your range is, like, you either get 750 or 100. I mean, or 10.”
Taylor: “Well, third gets 10. That ain’t no f—ing money… That ain’t no f—ing money. It’s something, but… They need to make it higher.”
Drew: “You’d think you’d be a million by now.”

Drew: “But yeah, dude, we survived. We don’t go to jury.”
Drew: “But we all get podiums.”
Taylor: “Yeah, we all get a, what is it called?”
Drew: “Emoji.”
Taylor: “Yeah, we all get a medal. We all get a medal. We all go down in history.”

Then the pressure cooker. Drew says he asked Yash to throw it.

Drew: “I was waiting for Barrett to leave for damn hours. Hours. I was like, can you f—ing leave?”
Drew: “I gave him the exact same, like, I was like, I’ll vote whatever way you want… He was like, so you won’t vote Taylor out? And I was like, I promise I won’t vote Taylor out.”
Taylor: “Well, it wouldn’t have mattered because I still would have stayed.”
Drew: “But if it was Melody, I wasn’t voting her out.”
Taylor: “He didn’t throw it. I know he didn’t throw it. I’m telling you he didn’t throw it. I don’t think you saw what we saw.”
Drew: “But also we did argue.”
Taylor: “…Yash is not dumb. Yash is not dumb. But we’ll see. I’ll ask him. And if he did, I bet he regrets it now.”

Then Melody.

Taylor: “You think you got a chance outside of here?”
Drew: “I think we’re friends.”
Taylor: “You should send her flowers.”
Drew: “Send her flowers?”
Taylor: “And see what happens.”
Drew: “I don’t know… She lives in a different state, man.”
Drew: “She’s two years older than me, lives in a different state, and like… I think we’re just friends.”

Taylor’s own mom is three years older than her dad.

Taylor: “Age ain’t nothing but a number.”

Then Yash.

Taylor: “I thought about it, and I was like, one day I was like, what the f— is wrong with me? Let me get out of here. Because he’s so brother-coded. Like, he acts like my brothers.”
Drew: “Yeah, Yash’s a good looking dude.”
Drew: “You guys, bro, you guys would kill me with the f—ing, like, we don’t work with Lala s—… If Yash or Taylor told her this is what we’re doing for this vote, she would do it. If I told her, she’d be like, go f— yourself.”
Taylor: “I think what we were trying to get through y’all here is anything that Lala does…”
Drew: “Is not because of us.”
Taylor: “Is not.”
Drew: “If she fights with Haley, if she fights with Angela, that’s not because of us.”
Taylor: “That’s not us.”

And the one vote to keep Rome.

Drew: “No, everyone thought it was me.”
Taylor: “Because you was crying.”
Drew: “Dude, because I loved him so much.”
Taylor: “That’s what I’m saying. But nobody held it against you. Nobody cared about that vote.”
Drew: “I can’t wait to see who it was.”
Drew: “…If it was anybody, it was Jason.”
Taylor: “Because I believe Mallory… She said for a week she was scared as f—.”

Drew: “It’s crazy to be here to the end, man… There’s a chance that anyone in here could win.”
Taylor: “Good chances. Everybody got good chances. I’m all or nothing unless your ass wins… I’m literally first, second, or third. You know, it depends on who wins.”
Taylor: “Devens really gotta win. He knows that.”
Drew: “He’s first or third.”
Taylor: “…Mm-hmm, he’s first or third. I’m first, second, or third. You’re second or first.”

If Taylor had won the veto.

Taylor: “If I won the veto, I was going to pull Dee down and Dee was going to get rid of Devens.”
Drew: “I think you’re right.”
Taylor: “That’s what I told you. I said, I’m going to pull Dee down because I would trust Dee to get rid of Devens… I would have wanted to pull you down, but I know you would keep Devens.”
Drew: “No, I think, yeah… Because I would have done this. I would have been like, oh, I’m getting guarantees.”
Drew: “Who do you think would have won if it was Devens and Dee sitting at the end?”
Taylor: “…It would have been a matter of speeches.”
Drew: “But Devens versus Dee, I still think Devens wins.”
Taylor: “Because this is why. A bitter jury at the idea that she’s won before.”

Drew: “Because she already got this.”
Taylor: “It’s just the fact that she already won… And Devens got a family.”
Taylor: “I would just think about the idea of her winning Survivor and Big Brother.”
Taylor: “If she made it this far, I think she deserves to win.”
Taylor: “I think Devens is a better speaker.”

Then Vince, from last season.

Taylor: “If Vince was the one to do it, he would have won.”
Taylor: “The way he played his game showed you he did that. I was not expecting him to look like that in person. He’s just so much smaller.”
Taylor: “Yeah, he was skinnier than I thought, but I thought he would be taller. Sorry, Vince.”
Drew: “Bear’s going to make all of us look really short this whole season.”
Drew: “I think he was six-five. I think that’s what he said… But I was, like, I stood next to Barrett too much where people are going to think I’m, like, five-seven.”
Drew: “They’re going to be like, Barrett’s probably six-one.”
Taylor: “Y’all wasn’t too far away from each other, though, when y’all stood next to each other.”
Drew: “It’s because of my hair. It gave me a little edge on him.”

Taylor: “Aw, Dee. We’re going to a concert when we get home.”
Drew: “Dude, that’s so cool. Genuinely, I like everybody here.”
Taylor: “You have to. You live with each other long enough. It’s like the same reason you hate each other is the same reason why you love each other. And I think that’s so cool.”

Then Big Brother calls for Taylor.
