It wasn’t the Mad Tea Party that HoH Kamu was expecting but it may have gotten the job done in burying his target Jason, just a little bit more.

The backyard tea party began with idle conversation but then it took a serious turn, a purposeful and planned turn by Kamu.

“Since we’re all here as a house, I do obviously want to address kind of the elephant in the room and that is the fact that I’m going have to put up a fourth person. I’m going to have to name a fourth nominee and I figure since we’re all here, we kind of talk about that a little bit. Like one of the things that I really wanted to do when I came into the house was play an open and honest game to the best of my ability. A game that, when it’s all said and done, that I will be proud of but like honestly, probably even more important to me than a game that I’d be proud of would be a game that my family and my friends outside would be would be proud of where they’re you know they’re they’re proud to know me they’re not embarrassed to know me by how I’m acting in the house and I’ve tried to do that,” he began.

He then detailed what a chore it has been being HoH.

“When I won HoH I quickly realized it’s a gift and a curse. It’s obviously a gift in the sense where like I have safety so that’s great but it’s a curse because I have to nominate three or four people that I like and put them up on the block for eviction. So, that was very difficult and it was something that I took very seriously. Something I’m taking very seriously now. I want to say to the three nominees I’m beyond impressed by how well you guys have handled this whole thing. I just appreciate how understanding you guys have been. I’ve been trying to be as open and honest as possible. I had conversations with each of the nominees privately. I told them ahead of time that I was considering nominating them. I gave them the reasons for doing so none of the nominees were surprised when they saw their faces on on the memory wall,” he explained.

He revealed his deal with Jason before the Veto Competition. That if Jason won the Veto he would use it the way Kamu wanted him to.

“Then, at one point in time my name got thrown out right in front of the house and obviously that didn’t feel good but you (Jason) handled it like a man, he came up face to face. He apologized to me. You made amends with with Angela. You’ve made amends with Haley and so honestly I respect that…Thank you, Jason, for turning the game around and your gameplay but there is something that I do want to address with everybody here. After you and I made that agreement several people started to come up to me saying that you had made a deal with all three of the nominees, that if they picked you to play in the competition you would use the veto on them to take them down. Right? That was kind of the first thing that I had heard. Then, I started to hear that you’re going to different people in the house, different groups of people in the house,” said Kamu.

“The word gets back to me. You’re telling one group of people keep me here and if you do I’m going go after Kamu, Chuck and Haley. I’ll take that shot that nobody else may be willing to take. You go to another group of people and you’re saying: Hey, if you keep me here I’ll be your shield and I’ll take the shot at the Icons. I’ll take out Devens. I’ll take out Dee. I’ll take out Mama Angela, right? Then, I hear from a different group of people that you’re telling Drew and you’re telling Barrett you guys are at the bottom of the house. You’re expendable to them. The house is going to look to target you next. All these things are coming back to me. When I thought that we were cool and then I hear that you’re throwing out my name especially when I’m HOH. I don’t think that’s the smartest thing if I have the ability to put you up as a replacement nom but my question to you is: If you were to win the Power of Veto yesterday would you have held up your end of our deal or would you have used it on LaTrice like you told her you would?” he asked Jason directly.

“I talked to Haley and I talked to Angela and I said if I did win the Veto I would do whatever Kamu wanted because that’s what I told you I would do. That’s what I told you over here. I told you that in the X-ray room. I told you that before the comp even playing the game when you know I went up against you,” Jason fired back.

“This is Big Brother, right? I have to look at what’s best for me. Would it be best for me to go against the people in power as a group? I don’t think so, to be honest. I mean, I’m at the bottom. You told me too in the HOH room that the house said that LaTrice and I are the biggest threats of the House,” said Jason.

“Not the not the biggest threats. I never said the biggest threats,” Kamu clarified.

“After the nomination ceremony, five seconds later, me and Angela handled it, hugged it out, apologized. I came to Chuck, I came to Haley, came to you. Yeah, I apologize but I just want to say all I’m saying is, y’all had a conversation with Kamu and said that I’m the one who should go on the block. So this is a whole group thing that you’re saying. They said that we are the targets. So there, of course, I’m going to feel like s–t. I’m going to get renommed. That’s a very natural feeling for me to have is it not? When everyone apparently is saying I’m the big threat because I won one blockbuster. I’ve never won power twice. I’ve never won HoH. I couldn’t even hit a ball. How am I the biggest threat?” asked a bewildered Jason.

Jason explained to what has happened since Rome left.

“Y’all got Rome out. Congratulations! Now my game’s open because I don’t have Rome anymore. Yes, I was talking to Angela yesterday. I was like, ‘How do I play this game without looking like I’m strategizing with people?’…I love LaTrice as a person. You know, without Rome, that was the glue to our alliance. I was very open about this to everybody, dude. She was telling me yesterday, you get to be friends with people, you get to have connections and relationships. So yeah, I have a relationship with LaTrice but does that mean I’m still working with her in this game? Game and relationship, those are two separate things in this game, right? I think we all understand that we all been “relationshiping” with each other and y’all be gaming with each other too. You can’t lie about that. That’s what this game is. So you can’t sit here and make me a giant target in front of everyone and try to call out my game,” he said.

Jason called out the dominant alliance in front of everyone.

“Y’all are a total cool item. Y’all are strong as hell. I wish I could be a part of it so I could stay in this game longer which is why I would lie to them, playing Big Brother. Hello, I would do whatever the hell you wanted, dude. You have the power. Why would I lie to you? That would be stupid of me to think that I have the power against the three strongest people in here to think that I can protect all these girls myself when I can’t hit a f—–g pickle ball. Please, what the hell? And I love pickles,” he joked.

Jason told the alliance they aren’t as under the radar as they think they are.

“It was very obvious, bitch. You guys are not actors. I live in Hollywood. Like it was very clear what was going on. Like let’s not be stupid here. Good job, good plan, good game plan, y’all…It’s fine. It’s clear. It’s in the past. We handled it. I apologize. I forgive and y’all forgiven. You said but here we are again with another show with everything that’s been said pulled out to try to make me look like the crazy one, and I’m being very clear right now,” he said. “It’s not even in my hands because I lost because I’m not a comp threat because I’m not good at sports because I’m not hand-eye coordinated so I’m not the biggest threat in the house. I’m definitely not the biggest damn threat in the house,”

“I will say that I’m not making that up. That information did come back to me,” said Kamu.

“From who?” asked Jason.

“I don’t want to say their names,” answered Kamu.

“I would really like to know. So who said that to you? It came back to you from where?” Jason asked again.

“From this group,” said Kamu.

“Let’s say a name,” Jason asked.

“I am not going to throw someone under the bus,” said Kamu.

“You try to turn the women against the men. You try to turn the men against the women. You were trying to play directly in the middle. You and I have had conversations and you’ve had conversations with multiple people about that. That’s why your game blew up the way that it did last week,” said Kamu pointing out Jason’s very public mistakes.

“Aren’t you a man of faith who’s allowed to change? Can you teach me how to change? I thought I’ve been changing. Have I not made a change?” said Jason referencing Kamu’s Christianity.

“We can leave our faith out of this…The reason why your game blew up the way that it did, and people had a hard time trusting you, the women couldn’t trust you, the men couldn’t trust you. You and I both know that everybody in the house knows that. So, to sort of think that after just a couple of days you’re going to be able to build bridges with everybody back in the house and nobody’s going to be suss of you,” said Kamu.

“Maybe this is my moment to change and be better. Maybe it’s too late because it sounds like you already renomed me. So we just do the veto ceremony now because it sounds like I’m going up. That’s what it’s sound like,” laughed Jason.

“No, I just want to see where you’re real. If we’re clear in the air,” said Kamu.

“So am I horrible for trying to play a game where I can try to figure out how to get myself to jury for a game for so much money? This is the Big Brother game so why am I a bad person for trying to figure out my game?” asked Jason.

“I never said you’re a bad person. All I’m hearing is a bunch of different information floating around from different people. I figured we could just air it out and get it all in,” said Kamu.

“The tea has been spilt,” Do the middlemen want to speak at all? So, ladies, we thought perhaps there was hope with those middlemen. I’d consider what that looks like and if I go home this week, fabulous! I’m so excited to watch how they pick you guys off. Good job. A group of crows is called a murder. What are they called? Holy moly!…America hates the f–k out of me,” warned Jason.

“I think we all we all care about you and I think you’re a super entertaining guy. I think I can see being a fan of you,” said Kamu.

“Does it threaten you in the house that I’m entertaining?” asked Jason.

“Only in a game play sense and I mean that respectfully. I do think you’re a gameplay threat,” replied Kamu.

“Appreciate it,” said Jason.

“Personally, I really, I really like you a lot. I really like you and it’s really hard to separate those,” said Kamu.

“My game’s been aired out and like that’s fantastic but I’m not a bad person for like trying to play Big Brother,” said Jason.

“I don’t think you are,” clarified Kamu.

“We’ve already established I’m a messy bitch. So I guess I just get to reevaluate if I continue to stay here. What those relationships are and I open the table to whoever wants to work together because I’ve been trying to work with people but obviously it’s blown up in my face. So maybe I don’t try to work with nobody. So if anyone wants to work with me it’s on the table…So is it safe to say like I’m probably going to be the renom and if I win the Block Buster I’m still in the house but if I don’t win, I’ll get voted out. Fantastic, good job!” said Jason.

After a little back and forth with Angela, Jason accused Kamu of purposely staging the tea party.

“I will say this, dude. Nobody had anything to do with this. No one came to me and told me to do this,” said Kamu.

“…but people came to you and told you my name and had my name in their mouth,” said Jason.

“Correct,” replied Kamu.

“So, in a way, it is a group thing,” said Jason.

“Why aren’t you saying who came to you with the stuff? Because that’s a true air out, an untrue air out. Yeah, is a halfway. A true air out is this person came to me and said this. That’s a true air out because when you call a when you call a meeting for everybody, then everybody’s s–t gets thrown on the table,” asked Jason. “It’s very strategic and it’s very targeted and it’s very, it’s very purposeful that it’s made to me make me look like a target, untrustworthy. Don’t vote for me, evict me. I’m dangerous. Blah. Blah. blah. That’s what happened. That’s what’s done here. Congratulations, good job! That was the goal and I think that was what you wanted and I think that’s what happened. So I hope so everyone will leave here with their own thoughts and get to play how they want to,”

“But Jason, you you have to understand that I could have just put you up,” said Kamu. “Jason what you just said right now is you just said, “Oh, they’re trying to paint a target on my back so they can put me up and get me.” Isn’t that what this is? We we didn’t have to. We didn’t. I didn’t have to do this to do that, I did this to hopefully clear the air so that if people are on the fence about things, they can hear straight from the horse’s mouth what is what. No, and that’s intentional. I didn’t I didn’t have to do this to put you did send you home,”

“No, because you were always going to do that. So you made it you made this intentional so that it can air me out so it would make me look even worse to people,” said Jason.

Jason told Kamu if he had truly wiped the slate clean this discussion wouldn’t be happening.

“Let me win some power and prove it to you. Isn’t that the game of Big Brother?” asked Jason.

“What happens if you win power then you put me up on the block, like you’ve been telling people,” said Kamu.

“I wasn’t going to do that in my heart,” said Jason.

“How do I know that?” asked Kamu.

“You don’t know that because that’s the game of Big Brother,” replied Jason.

“So why am I risk letting you win power and then prove your trust in me. It doesn’t make sense,” said Kamu.

“That’s the game of Big Brother, though,” said Jason.

“This is the game of Big Brother and I’m playing it, dude. That’s the point,” laughed Kamu.

“If you move forward with Kamu and if you’re not with him right now, I can best believe this will be your this will be your seat later because this is the same seat Rome was in when Deven’s was in power. It was the same kind of twisting of words and pointing fingers and making a target of same thing. Now it’s me. Fantastic. I would love to go home. Actually, send me home. I cannot wait to go home. I’m very excited. Should I pack now? Should I pack my suitcase right now? Anyone want to help me? Want to help me pack? It’s funny because, like a couple hours ago, it felt like people would have helped me pack or something. They were my friends then,” said Jason to everyone as everyone sat in silence for quote a few minutes before the Tea Party ended.
