Drew WON The Pressure Cooker Power of Veto Competition!!

2:31 AM — Drew and Yash (Pressure Cooker)

Fourteen hours in, two men on buttons, nobody else in the room. Drew starts working the math out loud.

Drew: “And if Barrett wins the Blockbuster, which he could—”
Yash: “Which he probably would.”
Drew: “Could be three of us. And then with Taylor, or maybe Melody wins it. I don’t know. I don’t want to give up Melody, obviously.”
Yash: “If Barrett’s sitting there, he’s going to go.”
Drew: “Because of the Icons.”

Then Drew makes the pitch, and it is not about numbers.

Drew: “Her and Melly are the same, bro. We are attached to people who are the exact same. You and me are playing the exact same game. You’re f—ing East Coast, I’m West Coast.”
Yash: “Yeah, except you’re sloppy as f—.”
Drew: “Oh, hella sloppy.”

Drew: “And that’s why if we go all the way down to the f—ing end, you f—ing whoop my ass. Everyone’s gonna be like, yo, he’s been honest the whole f—ing time.”
Yash: “But that’s the same reason your ass is trying to get me out, bro. So that doesn’t change.”
Drew: “Well, now, I got nobody.”

Yash: “Because I don’t trust you to put me over Barrett. Or put Barrett over me.”

And then Yash names a price.

Drew: “Renom or— yeah, dude, you don’t even have to pay me 5K.”

Drew explains why he is in this position at all.

Drew: “No offense to Barrett, he just blew up my day two alliance last week, and that s— was smooth. I tried my best to keep that thing going. That’s the only reason you went up.”
Drew: “And I knew you were gonna win the f—ing veto or the Blockbuster, so I was like, whatever. I was gunning for Lala, because she flipped my ass off.”

Yash adds the second condition, and stops himself before they shake on camera.

Yash: “There’s a chance Taylor’s going to sit there on eviction night. You don’t vote her, whoever it’s against.”
Drew: “Yeah, I got to vote out—”
Yash: “Melody or Barrett.”
Yash: “Here, let’s not do it in case you’re watching. I don’t want them thinking we cut a deal.”

Yash: “But if Taylor’s sitting there on eviction night Thursday, you do not vote her out. And then your next HOH, I don’t go up as a nom or a renom, regardless of who it is.”
Drew: “That’s fair.”

Yash keeps circling the same problem.

Drew: “I agree 100 percent, yo, but you got to know that I got nowhere else to turn. And Melody f—ing loves you. She’s dope. By association, I got to work with you because I don’t want to piss her off.”
Yash: “Well, she already knows you’ve f—ing frauded hell at times, bro. She knows that.”
Drew: “Oh, I know. She’s always like, I’m always vouching for you to Yash. And I’m like, damn, I know. I always feel bad.”

Yash: “And you went down there telling them you’d put me up and s—. That’s what f—ed it.”
Drew: “Because I was trying to get votes. At this point, dude, after the public target, like, just blatant s—, I’m like, all right. I know where I’m at.”

Drew: “And the funny thing is, I was going to keep Dee. But after the public f—ing s— at the thing, I was like, damn. All right.”

The argument that lands is the one about the rest of the summer.

Yash: “It could just be the rest of the summer, you and me f—ing picking each other off.”
Drew: “It would be annoying as hell, because then they get the f—ing top. And no offense, Taylor and Melody would probably be right there with them, because we would be too busy shooting each other.”
Yash: “And you know that’s what they would want too.”
Drew: “That’s what they’ve been probably trying to do since the damn beginning.”

2:39 AM — Drew and Yash (Pressure Cooker)

Eight minutes later they are closing it.

Yash: “Do we just go back and forth and just get these dubs?”
Drew: “Dude, we could.”

Yash: “Also, put it on her that you won’t f—ing tell anybody either.”
Drew: “On my sister, I won’t say nothing.”
Yash: “To any of these motherf—ers, bro.”
Drew: “I’d be pissed off at you the whole week if you want. And I could be up in your face and be like, you can’t get me out, motherf—er. All day. You know I could be annoying.”

Then Yash explains why he is doing this at all, and brings up the bribe unprompted.

Drew brings it up too, a few minutes later, as a joke.

Drew: “But hey, you got 5K in your pocket, big dog.”
Yash: “I do.”
Drew: “And you give me this one, I’ll have an HOH, a veto, and two Blockbusters.”
Yash: “Remember why you have that s—, because I’d beat your ass in this s—. I know that for a fact.”
Drew: “Yeah, right, motherf—er. I’m chilling right now.”

Drew makes the case for himself as an ally, which is mostly a case about having no alternative.

Drew: “We could run it, big dog. It’s viable as hell. And honestly, I feel like I’ve got no other choice, because you’re going to keep putting my ass up. And if I don’t make this deal with you, I have to keep putting your ass up. And I have to trust Icons that don’t trust me.”
Drew: “And you know I’m not going to go all the way to f—ing final three. I’m going to get slimed out before then.”
Yash: “Well, bro, you might. I’m not going to rule that out.”

Drew: “Imagine a story about you and me being in final two chairs. Bro, I f—ing want that.”
Yash: “East coast, west coast. After the ceasefire s—, I was like, you done burnt your last bridge, bro.”
Yash: “But this is a great deal. You won’t put me up. You won’t vote Taylor out.”
Drew: “And then that pretty much means we’re gonna work together. Because I got nobody else.”

The oath is the part Yash actually buys.

Yash: “You’re putting that s— on your sister’s life, right?”
Drew: “On my sister, bro. Next HOH, you’re not the renom or the initial nom. And it’s only going to be two. So you don’t need to worry about it.”
Drew: “I can’t promise the same for Taylor.”
Yash: “That’s okay. That’s okay. I can’t ask you to do some unreasonable-ass s—.”

Yash: “And you’re putting it on your sister’s life, bro. I trust you.”
Drew: “And you know I’ve got no other option.”
Yash: “I know you don’t. Which is also why a part of me is like, do I even need to do this? Because he has no f—ing other option.”

Yash: “I do trust the fact that if you put it on your sister’s life, that does mean something. And I hope the bad juju does not find you the way it found me after I put it on my life.”
Drew: “I’m not even attempting to break that s—.”
Yash: “No, but I’m saying even without attempting it, bro, that s— got my ass.”

Drew: “Also, f—ing Hall of Fame iconic-ass s— that we just did here.”
Yash: “If you put my ass up, I will strangle you.”
Drew: “Bro, you go to the jury house and be like, yo, he put it on his sister’s life and then he f—ing put me up.”

And then, almost in passing, Yash tells a 22-year-old who has spent the week being called a fraud that there is still a version of this where he wins.

Yash: “You talk like you’re not going to have jury votes, bro. There is a world in which you can.”
Drew: “They’re just going to be like, yo, Drew was yapping around the house the whole f—ing time.”
Yash: “Don’t view it that way. When people go in the house, they talk without the emotion side of it. If you get to final two doing that strategy, no one can say s—.”

Then the terms of the surrender.

Yash: “All right, I’m going to drop this in a bit. Then you can drink some f—ing water. And then we’ll shake on it out there, bro.”
Drew: “Oh, yeah, we can shake on it out there. And you and me, we’ll share a f—ing IV.”
Yash: “Liquid IV.”
Drew: “Liquid IV. And you can go to sleep. And you and me can chill in top six, motherf—er, like it was my HOH. I’m like, yo, congrats. And then you can be like, congrats, Drew. And I’ll take myself off.”

Drew: “Obviously, I feel bad that you had to put Taylor up. But I don’t want you to go back and deal with Devens, because that’s f—ed. And all you’ve been is honest.”

Drew: “East Coast, West Coast, bro. Sea to sea. That could be us.”
Yash: “Ocean to ocean.”
Drew: “Ocean to ocean.”

Drew has one last thing to say about the man he has spent the season burning.

Drew: “Funniest s— ever is, out of all the people here, Yash is probably the dude I’m gonna hang out with the most.”
Yash: “And you’re the one you’ve done the f—ing worst to, bro.”
Drew: “Bro, it’s because we’re the same. I see you and I’m like, this motherf—er’s playing the game, my game that I wanted to play, but better.”

Drew: “But this is the game, bro.”
Yash: “This is the game, and it’s a good deal. It is a good deal. And I actually do believe you.”

He does not drop straight away. He does not want it to look like what it is.

Yash: “I’m going to drop this s— in a little bit, so it doesn’t look like right after we’re f—ing done talking.”
Yash: “I feel like I can’t drop this thing if I tried.”
Yash: “I’m gonna just sit like this for a bit. Look forward, bro. Don’t act like you know this s—’s gonna drop.”
Drew: “Nah, nah, nah, I won’t look.”
Yash: “I’m gonna wait a few minutes.”

Eight minutes after that, at 2:47 AM, the longest competition in Big Brother history was over.
