BB28 Friday Live Feed Update September 4, 2026

0:00Music Every morning, tearing Armstrong's heart big brother looking at the stuff from yesterday All the drama, all the strategy and silliness from Theo to Hoh H Every single season you know he is the reason you know what's happening Rob said that he could do it tomorrow he will do it again Hello everyone and good morning Welcome to our live feed update for September 4th I'm your host, Charlie Armstrong and I'm here today to update you on everything that happened yesterday The Big Brother 28 live feeds it was day 59 in the house and we had an eviction

1:08A blockbuster preceding that eviction Chaos after the eviction, a new Hoh, new plans for the week and plenty to talk about And with me to talk about it all, it's pretty I didn't, yeah I'm doing good, Terran, feels weird not being on stage with you standing But we'll make it work today, it'd be fun It was fun, it was fun last week in Milwaukee We had less to talk about but it was fun being there But now we are here and we have plenty to talk about so of course at the start of the day Drew was still the Hoh Lala Taylor and Devons were still on the block Devons was still the plan to be evicted if he did not win the blockbuster And the Lala and Taylor vote if Devons were to win the blockbuster was really starting to gain some momentum in favor of a victim Taylor over Lala Because D and Angela were on board to evict Devons

2:09As were Yash Mality Barrett and whichever of Lala or Taylor were to come off the block D and Angela also wanted to keep Lala over Taylor and the day before yesterday Yash and Mality both decided they wanted to keep Lala over Taylor Because Lala would be a bigger asset to them in competitions So that's plenty of votes to keep Lala over Taylor they just needed to lock in and have the right conversations they planned to talk to Angela If they did they'd know that Angela was down and that they'd have the votes so all of that is ready to go here on Thursday morning But we started the day with D and Angela And Angela ever vigilant with her crazy eyes And she spotted the fact that Barrett was talking with Yash and Mality late at night the night before In particular that Yash had pulled Barrett to go and talk to them and she was like what's going on here?

3:11I think they're flipping on Devons I think that's the group and they pulled Barrett in and I think they're going to vote Devons out And now she is right that Barrett's going to vote out Devons but she's wrong about what this conversation was The conversation was to vote out Taylor in that conversation but you know, close enough And they're like well this is maybe actually good for us because if Barrett is going to vote out Devons then we don't have to They can do it we can vote to keep Devons and we get no heat So maybe we don't vote out Devons anymore A broken clock, Terran, is right twice a day The intuition kicks in for this one A hunch that was sideways actually lands Funny though Now I don't want to remind too much but I do want to talk about this Which actually it'll still be relevant because we're still talking about the breviction

4:15So this whole thing, this whole conversation about wanting to keep Lala because she's a better competitor Are we just going off of results on this one because I feel like unless you're like someone who is clearly Either a runner up in everything or has you know like a Barrett or one Helicomps like a Devons I feel like using that as your rubric doesn't really mean much because ultimately some of these comps anybody can win them So I don't know if there's a lot of merit there to split Lala and Taylor by saying Compability That's what I've been saying That's what I've been saying Well Drew talks to Barrett and he tells Barrett about how Melody was pitching Lala to stay the night before Barrett's like well yeah, I mean I was hearing that too I don't really care but Yash apparently really wants to do it Drew's like wow really I mean yeah, that's what Melody was saying but I don't really care that much either though I do prefer that Lala leaves And then Drew's like well actually if it were a tie that would be pretty good right because then I could break the tie to a Vict Lala

5:21And it would expose to Taylor that Yash wanted her out because Yash will have voted her out So maybe we let them vote that way and we make it a tie and this could be very good for us So he goes and he talks to Devons about it he tells Devons about the plan Devons is like whatever I don't really care either way between Lala or Taylor that much And Drew says he thinks that Angela and D want her to stay because one Lala to stay because they think they can control her But hey, end of the day if they decide they want to do it they'll have the numbers too D and Angela can vote that way Melody and Yash would vote that way before it too All we can do is ask them not to So we'll see So Drew talks with Angela and D and he says he does still want Lala out but he's okay with Angela giving her a sympathy vote But because Melody and Yash are voting Taylor out that would make it a tie and that would be very good for them D is like wait Yash is Yash wants Taylor out

6:24He's like yeah, apparently Yash was pitching it to Barry last night and I think it would be great if it went landed in a tie And then Taylor stayed and then found out that Yash was voting her out and they're like wow really okay And now so D is talking to the camera she's like well okay Does this mean that there that there it is voting out Devons or he's not voting out Devons Maybe they were just talking about some maybe they were talking about the Taylor plan What do I do if he if they're not voting out Devons and Devons will stay I might just need to evict him And then tell nobody about the vote not even Angela And by the way Becca I would never do this unless I had a feeling Debt but Devons made a joke in front of Drew and Barrett It really made me think that this is that he's you know turning on me And we find out in the episode He really is He really is thinking about going with Drew and Barrett after all that after all the camera talks After all he's been doing he is thinking about it now I still don't necessarily think that that means that that's the right move to turn on him this early

7:25But Where credit is due she she caught the joke and she was right You know this is a clock that is just right I don't think this clock is broken the read is on point Taryn can we discuss something else and I want to go back to the nomination block with you here So let's look at the history books from the last week Who are people thinking was going to win the blockbuster Who did they have their money on it all the houseguests were betting who were they going to bet on winning here I mean I think they I think they they thought Devons would have the best chance Okay That was hoping you would say that because I thought so too Why oh why then are we talking about what should be the most likely outcome of the block Why is that still so live going into today through the point where like everyone's a little bit unsure and wavering on it Because well I think largely because the the scarier plan the big plan is like get out Devons

8:26That's the like that's the one they've all been so focused on and As they all keep saying None of them really care all that much between Taylor a lot Yeah, yeah, I mean when the majority yeah everybody but yash really or and melody probably is kind of like well whatever we're still intact When bear it obviously is gone rogue but yeah that makes sense all right well let's move it along then Yeah So Barrett talks to melody and and I get the sense from Barrett here he's he's talked to Angela and Dina And Barrett's telling Melody he says the icons aren't budging on the Lala vote. I don't think we've got the votes for it And Melody's like oh I knew we probably wouldn't be able to get the votes and like this isn't true So it feels like Barrett is trying to shut this down and we know from the day before that Barrett was never on board with this plan

9:27He said to the cameras he does not want Lala to stay he wants Lala to go But he played along in the conversation with the ocean melody because I assume he didn't want to be able he didn't feel like he could push back too much But he's telling Melody he doesn't think that Angela and D will be down So So that's throwing in some uncertainty here about like okay well maybe they will or won't vote this way But at the same time Dina Angela are now like apparently yash and Melody are going to vote out Taylor That's great we have the numbers we can do this even if Barrett doesn't agree even if Devon doesn't agree even if Drew doesn't agree before of us can evict Taylor That's great But will we piss them off if we do it and it's like what's more important keeping them happier making the right move He's like you're right and she calls Lala over and she's like Lala our Melody and the Ash voting to keep you is like yes So okay then you have the numbers but we'll need your back moving forward just like of course

10:30And she's like well Lala make sure you talk to yash and Melody and and tell them that they have the votes that they should vote that way And so Lala leaves and they agree like okay, we'll just tell the boys last minute that we're voting this way as an explanation And and that'll be it will vote out Taylor and that'll be what we do and that is the plan heading into the episode That Melody and Yash still want to do it they think they have Barrett but they don't think they have Angela and D necessarily but they want to maybe try to figure it out and maybe go for it Angela and D now think that Yash and Melody are on board and that they have the votes they just need to break the news to Barrett and And Drew and Devon Before the vote happens so the plan is all in place For tonight for the night that they're doing this

11:31And when it comes to the Devons vote they're like what do we do do we vote for him to stay or do we vote for him to go Do we trust that Barrett's going to vote him out or do we need to do it ourselves and Angela says I think we just keep his ass We keep him and then if they decide to blindside us great and if they don't then he stays And so that becomes the plan for the Devons vote as well Now We get to the episode and of course we see in a very close Blockbuster competition Devons pulls out the win over Taylor and this should have been the end for Taylor because there were four votes who all wanted to evict her Planning to do so coming into the eviction vote at least according to the last thing we had seen on the feeds However Some nonsense happens and we still don't know our at least I still don't know exactly what goes down here But it certainly seems like as D and Angela are going to bear it to be like hey

12:34We might need to vote out Taylor Barrett is like the votes aren't there Or something along those lines something shuts the vote down for D And then Angela goes in casts her sympathy vote that she was allowed to do D backs off of the plan Barrett also votes Lala out and then tells Yash the votes aren't there. They're not going to do it They wanted to but Barrett is able to represent it like hey, they're not doing it Yash changes his vote melody never gets the memo and the vote comes in four to two Lala is evicted Only the blockbuster could produce such a result because It's pretty wild that just miscommunication and Perhaps one middleman able to shut down an entire eviction and change the course of who stays and who goes I think also like Barrett has been thrown into such a strong position just by proxy of being

13:35For lack of a better term just back up jump on your trace the middleman Where I feel like there's a lot of people that could have had one or two not even conversations term we're talking sentences We're talking sentences could have clarified this and they didn't do it. They went with his word they went with what he's saying and they followed it and Afforded to it could have easily been a three three or a four two on the other way easily And honestly, I'm kind of here for it after us not getting the Devons blindside. I think this was the best thing you could ask for is a bit of a live vote out Yes, now again to be clear this is like from what I've pieced together my theory We may see it on the episode and it might not be exactly this But right now it's my best guess at the moment for how this went down So four to two Lala has been evicted and we are officially in We have officially have our first member of the jury and that means we have now changed our graphic

14:35Oh, bye bye pre-jury Lots of extra space. I didn't have a lot of time to like space things out here, but no more pre-jury Here is our jury portion of the cast With Lala as our first member of the jury now The feeds came back and There was still a bit of mess going on Because Devons indeed are talking and Devons is like yeah, Angela told me before the eviction that she thought the boys were gonna vote me out And he was like, yeah, I kind of felt that way too, but I didn't want to freak you out He says he's not worried about it. He won anyway He's I don't know that he really believes it. I think he thinks that Angela is probably being paranoid Right, and then there's a lot of confusion about this second vote Who voted for Taylor to go other than Angela?

15:37Melody we know is the second vote But she's denying it. She's saying I voted for Lala to leave Her and Yash talked to each other and she's like I thought the other one was you and Yash says no I thought the other one was you and they're both denying it to each other Barrett says he would assume it was Melody because he told Yash that it wasn't happening in the hallway But either way the idea is that they wanted Taylor to feel like one of her allies voted her out So hopefully they can convince Taylor that it was either Melody or Yash Devon's questions D about it Initially in that conversation when she was talking to him before and then again after he talks to Drew And Drew says Melody's telling me she really didn't do it Devon's goes back to Dean. He's like did you did you do it though? And she's like you really don't believe me bro? That actually makes me mad You come to me right after you talk to Drew and you start asking me again after I already told you

16:42I believe you I just think Drew is putting things in your head. I don't know. I don't know And she's mad She's mad and she's not now this and Drew tells the cameras after this. He's like her reaction to that makes me think it really definitely was her Which is not a terrible read but the I think reality is less that she's mad because she got caught because she didn't she didn't vote that way And more so that she's just mad that Devon's is still in the game She's mad that the blockbuster didn't go her way and the Devon's is still there And now he's talking to Drew still and she still has all these suspicions and now she's questioning her And so it kind of like manifested itself in that way And she tells Angela if I win HH I'm putting I'm putting them both up Drew and Devons and so Drew though worries that if D wins the HH she might put up him and Devons

17:45They do apologize D and Devons to each other but there's still a lot of tension there She asked him if he's willing to nominate Drew or Barrett if he wins and he says well, yeah, but I do think we should stay low at the crossovers for now And so there's just a lot of tension in the air There's a lot of like who voted this way what's going on with D and Devons are they gonna turn on each other is Drew starting to get worried about D who's gonna win this HOH It's all over the place This is the fun part of Big Brother for me is just watching the and like kind of seeing the psychology of the mind really getting the best of people Because I do think if you are willing to flip on your allies That just means that you assume other people are gonna flip on you and so anything anyone does any small action can be seen or felt like a bigger thing than it is But for D I think she protested a little too much Which usually makes people think you actually did do it but the reality is her whole paranoia about Devons

18:50Fancing a world where he's going to the end with Drew and Barrett only gets stronger When after a conversation with Drew you're gonna come back and make this joke and it's Devons so obviously he can play it around I was just kidding. I was just trying to be funny. You know I didn't land. I was just trying to be funny That makes sense for Devons for sure But I think for D that doesn't lower the idea anymore that A you might still want to keep these two and work with them more than me And B I was about to vote you out and I can't have you for a second waiver on me so how dare you assume I would vote you out Because I didn't do it. I was going to you don't know that and I didn't do it so that should count for something at least So the feeds go down for the HOH competition And when they come back up we have our first HOH winner of the jury phase Barrett's Finally Barrett finally wins one

19:51Apparently it came down to Barrett D and Devons which very much tracks according to who would theoretically be the best competitors In the house at this point minus Yash who is likely throwing And and D I think so this was like apparently a new competition It had something to do with like throwing balls There were rainbows And you had to like lock in balls. There were far ones and there were close ones Rolling balls perhaps was a thing either way Apparently D had six of the seven needed I think Devons had five of the seven needed and then Barrett managed to win this one He apparently gave drew a wink before he won So Barrett the HOH winner and I of course immediately had some thoughts Number one Barrett is likely to nominate all three icons

20:53Number two if he actually wants to guarantee an icon leaves he cannot afford to Have drew vote to keep any of them Now this means that if he wants to guarantee an icon leaves Drew would need to be a Renoam if one of them were to win the veto because if Drew is not a Renoam and Drew wants to keep the icons Here's the thing you can see there are now seven people available for nomination Three of them will be nominated leaving just four of them one of them will come off the block with the blockbuster meaning five votes total You need three to evict So if an icon wins the veto and comes off the block and then say Yash goes up then another icon wins the blockbuster Leaving Yash and the third icon on the block the two icons the win the veto winner and the blockbuster winner can join Drew

21:55To make three votes and evict Yash or whoever else is on the block So if he wants to guarantee an icon leaving he needs to either Convince Drew to not vote to keep an icon or Nominate Drew as the replacement nominee Then you also have the fact that Yash has this bribe And so if Barrett is gonna be messy and nominate all three icons not only might they turn on each other when there's already a lot of cracks But they also have this information about Yash's bribe which is that Yash cannot nominate any of the icons I do want to make sure we clarify something a couple of days ago on the update Mike Bloom said that he heard Tiffany saying that if D is evicted the bribe stays in place the curse is not broken I Tiffany has since clarified that is not what she intended to say That we do not have clarification on that at this point So the leaving could still theoretically break the curse we still don't know but the point is if

23:01The icons reveal the true extent of the bribe that Yash cannot nominate any of the icons at all on his first on his next hoh Then That could change things as well because if you're Barrett and you think about it Okay, I can take out an icon this week we go down to the final seven and Yash wins the hoh He can't nominate two of his six options if there are still three nominees Then Barrett is all but guaranteed to go up on the block because why would Yash put up Taylor And even if he did this Barrett is a forced RenoM pretty much So what the icons would be telling him by revealing the details of the bribe is that Yash basically has to come after you as Soon as he wins an hoh and the best Yash can do in retaliation to that is say well I promise I'll keep throwing

24:09Which why would you if you're Yash once the I once at least one of the icons is gone Why not target Barrett and Drew immediately why not burn that hoh there's so many reasons to go ahead and do things like that So it does actually incentivize Barrett it puts him in a dilemma of do I want to take out this trio one of them Or do I now have to deal with Yash the best competitor in the house who is contractually obligated to basically target me as soon as he wins an hoh It's genuinely Information that should at least get Barrett thinking and so all of this is in place there are secrets that are potentially waiting to be spilled There's thought processes and strategic avenues for Barrett to consider and a whole lot of mess when he betrays the icons in the first place And I think a Barrett Hoh is a pretty good one to have for us here This was the one I was asking for on the recap. I said this would be the best outcome for us

25:10There'll be maximum popcorn and I think we're at that avenue What's tough Terran though is that I do agree keeping Yash in basically guarantees that if this person wins your nominee that's gonna be that's foregone right? The problem though is that when you have a writer die in Drew and you are trying to do right by melody You're gonna end up putting at least one icon two I sorry two icons up one icon up that's still going to muddy those waters like I think that no matter what Barrett leaving this week almost guarantees Especially with the fact that he's such a good comp Right I think he's get all but guaranteed to end up on the block unless Drew or Melody win on the next go around maybe Taylor And with a kicker But I think he's just kind of in the tough spot because I think there's three people no matter how you split the spy Three people next week are putting him up on the block in some capacity Yeah, it's it is a tricky spot Yeah, and it's funny because Drew was in a tricky spot last week

26:10And as per usual for Drew better be lucky than good He somehow managed to just needle his way into that death star vents of like devins winning the blockbuster and miscommunication line happening well enough for his actual Lala targets of land And now a Barrett H.O.H. is probably the absolute best case scenario for him at this point Drew has has got the luck of the gods on his side I tell you But let's talk through what's happening here during the night will eventually land on what Barrett intends to do and then we can sort of release try to extrapolate from there as well So Barrett and Drew Barrett really there's a whole sequence of events here that is pretty funny to me Barrett heads into the store Drew and celebrates with multiple people But it's a very it's just very funny. So he's in there Drew comes in and Drew by the way is like wearing the H.O.H. like hosting costume

27:19And it's got like four leaf clovers all over it talking about this luck stuff Exactly. Yeah, it was leprechaun ask for sure. So they celebrate The finger guns I've got the sound effect now Only in power Rangers is that what the guns sound like I don't know why this is the sound effect for finger guns, but we move They're celebrating oh my god Barrett's like you're safe this week Drew and right away one of my okay if he wants to guarantee an icon leaves He would need to put up Drew now. I do I think that's necessarily the right call no, but it's it's an option. He's telling Drew. He's not gonna put him up Doesn't mean he's not gonna change his mind. He's telling Drew. He's safe and Drew's like yes, I can't believe I got to hand the key to you man This is so good for us. Oh my god. And then Barrett goes What'd it be concerning to you if I told you I had no idea what I was gonna do and Drew's like

28:20really And then Devons walks in like his entire demeanor changes then Devons walks in and they have to now like Drew has to now fake celebrate with Devons Even though he just became incredibly concerned and Devons comes in and they're like Yes And and Devons is like just so I'm not making a total ass of myself. I'm good, right? Embarrassed like I Think you're good Just say I'm not at that point. I think you're good as like the worst thing to hear in this spot He's like okay, okay good. Yeah, all right And then bear and then Devons leaves and And Drew's like so wait do you actually not know what you're gonna do? I mean that's fine and Barrett says while spoiler alert. I'm keeping melody safe too. Drew's like I mean that's good and I'm down for whatever

29:22Do you want an icon to go? Barrett's like I don't know we can talk about it She's like all right. I mean listen You get house guest choice. I'll win. I'll do whatever you want Barrett's like I don't want to make you nervous. I'm not I'm not you say I'm safe. I'm down whatever you want to do Melody comes in She hugs Barrett. He says I'm keeping you safe this week. You're not going up. Don't worry She's like thank you. I really wanted to win that And then they start celebrating and and and Barrett goes Mallory My queen this is for you and they like salute on the ground And so it's like they're they're now celebrating then Yash comes in and they leave and my meanwhile D's talking to the cameras and she's Talking and it was funny to me because I wrote I tweeted I was like with Barrett as H.O.H We could see a lot of secrets being spilled and then D talked to the cameras afterward and she was like if Barrett pulls a fast one

30:24I'm dropping all the secrets I'm like me and D you know what the bribe thing the secret thing we're on the same wavelength So so then D goes into the storage room where Yash is still there and They have a very funny standoff where they're both trying to talk to Barrett in my opinion and But like so Barrett's just like standing there no reason to be in the storage room and D in Yash are both like Looking in the fridge looking through the couch looking for something to eat What could just trying to stay in there longer than the others so that they can talk to Barrett And then it's like oh yeah Yash when you're done in the fridge can I look in there and he's like sure And so then she goes to the fridge and now he has to like look for some cabinets eventually D wins Yash Yash leaves and as soon as as soon as Yash leaves

31:28They celebrate oh And she's like okay, so so who you're thinking of putting up and he goes well, I want to hear everything Oh, you want to hear everything? Love it So Very awkward vibe very awkward vibe So yeah, I mean, I guess we'll we'll talk He's like yeah, I want to finish that conversation. We almost had in the gym She's like oh yeah for sure for sure we'll finish that conversation Yes, and like I'm not even exaggerating this awkwardness like this is this is like actual almost word for word What is being said Angela comes in she's like congratulations friend you did so great and And so this the vibe is bad and

32:29Angela and D talk afterward and he's like do not act nervous. We can be nervous and Angela's like I'm not nervous I'm not nervous. I'm not acting nervous It's good. It's good stuff Yeah, it's worth the if you can find the clips is worth checking it out the reactions were absolutely gold Detox to devins as well. They they compare notes devins like he said out he thought I was good And they're like he can't put all this up right these Primarily concerned that like because there's likely three knobs that bear it might not nominate melody and might try to nominate Angela instead this is her this is currently like her bad case scenario and this is enough for her to be like I'll go nuclear all expose right and people are like what secrets what secrets does D have The the bribe obviously this is what what we talking about what do you mean what secrets the bribe

33:30Um Throw yosh under the bus That is that is I would say the primary plan but on top of that she also has devins secrets About like devins is actually loyal to us by the way. She's gonna try to perhaps throw devins under the bus if she needs to But I think yosh is the the current Secret that that she is talking about Um in fact I'll just jump ahead a little bit She talks to Angela later in the night and says if if I get and if we get any idea that that bear it might put you up Angela we should tell bear it about yosh is bright um and Again, there is some logic to this uh Where it could change bear its thought process now it is a double edged sword Because knowing about the true extent of uh of yosh's bribe Does incentivize bear it to evict yosh more than he currently has incentive to

34:33But it also incentivizes him to evict one of the icons Especially in the event that he can't evict yosh say he wins a veto or a blockbuster. So uh It cuts both ways this uh this secret reveal But given that bear it is already trying to cut them You kind of might as well at this point. So this is one of the bigger things i'm looking for uh today on the feeds Yeah, I think that's gonna be a very telling conversation We'll see if those gears switch up for bear it in any way But i mean we talked about it very little bit I'm sure we'll talk about it once we get to bear its master plan I just i feel like he's in between a rock and a heart place with these decisions because i do not think There's a world he can keep all of the icons happy And then get yosh out and then still not be one of the ones on the block of one of the icons win Like i don't think that happens anyway Yeah, and and i'm i'm seeing a lot of people also saying like uh like won't this Won't this reveal that d and the icons have been lying the whole time like yeah

35:35Of course, but who cares he's already targeting all three of them like what do you mean? No, it doesn't matter Do you think um Terren do you think that either we should know or like the rule should have specified whether or not the bribe ends with d Or not because i do think that carries a lot of weight it does also like a lot of heavy lifting And this is the thing too where like again specifically for d revealing this secret is even better for her than it is for devins or angela because right now Barrett and drew believe that yosh can't target specifically d But uh Which means if they want yosh to target the remaining icons They can't leave d in the game d would have to be their primary target in order to make sure that yosh isn't Handcuffed during his hoh But if they find out that it's all three

36:36Now you don't have as much of a preference like unless the curse thing exists, but But like now if it's like well he can't target any of them regardless Well now the incentive to take out d over devins or angela doesn't exist in the same way again unless The uh the thing is that if d leaves the curse is broken in which case d becomes The primary primary target once again So there's a lot going on there and again depends a lot on the rule set for the bribe but In the meantime Drew talks to melody Now that he knows that Barrett might do something and He's like yeah, we should probably shouldn't like hang out in barrett's hoh from too much this week um and And i'm immediately getting flashbacks to Kamu and his hoodie like I don't want to have anything to do with what barrett's about to do I don't want to get blamed for this, but it's too late. He's already getting blamed for it

37:39D's saying if barrett takes a shot she's gonna blame Drew for it She thinks Drew would have been the cause of it which is not even really remotely true, but uh, but it is what she's thinking um Devin stalks to Taylor. He says i was i promise you i voted to keep you this week Probably trying to prompt this idea of like hey, maybe don't trust yosh ramellaity one of them voted you out And Taylor pretty much just shuts the whole thing down. She's like i don't really care who the vote was I just don't really care Okay Thanks Barrett talks with melody and Drew um and he goes through the options He says that his options are the icons and yosh and Drew's like what about Taylor? He's like my options are the icons and yosh not i stutter Uh Because in what world does it make sense for barrett to evict the Taylor this week

38:40None no worlds basically um So uh That's that's kind of like an initial con it's a very like They're in the pod and they're they're talking like this. They're doing this thing Uh, so like they can barely really talk here um They also are picking have-knotes And there's a little bit of drama here Drew obviously with the never-knot pass can't be a have-knot And it's kind of supposed to be yosh's turn to to be a have-knot apparently um I haven't fully taken you know kept track of like whose turn is supposed to be But yosh refuses to be a have-knot he refuses to volunteer and to kind of like Keep the wheels running smoothly melody and D are like well, let's fine. We'll just we'll take it I think melody in particular takes yosh's spot um and uh but afterward is like yeah

39:40I shouldn't have done that I haven't even like showered yet. I hadn't eaten yet and now I can't do either Um and it was supposed to be yosh in the first place and now I'm kind of pissed at yosh because why wouldn't he be a have-knot um And uh and so there's a little bit of drama there that yosh would refuse to do this I don't hate it for yosh considering he probably needs to win his veto or blockbuster this week And you know you kind of want to be on your best foot forward there, but uh who knows how much it actually impacts I Can listen is his game to ruin if this ruins it, but I will never advocate for someone to Willingly put themselves on cold showers and no food like that is Not as a non-starter. Leave is the major thing right like if you don't sleep as well in the have-knot on the have-knot wheel Uh, it will impact your performance in a competition for sure so You know

40:41So Barrett talks to yosh briefly he says he doesn't know for sure what he's gonna do yet, but It's not gonna be boring Um, I was surprised that they they didn't really talk more than this um It's it's really like Barrett didn't have many conversations uh the night before and the ones that he did were Just these like whispery ones with Drew and Melody Drew tells Devon's he thinks they're both safe He'd be surprised if Barrett went nuclear Uh at this point he knows that Barrett is likely looking to go nuclear or close to it So he is now hiding this information from Devon's I think already On his plan of just feigning ignorance and trying to not be involved in this move Uh, and then we did talks to Angela they have the whole HOH from reveal of course There's lots of crying involved as everyone misses their families their reading letters so on and so forth Uh, Melody's upset that she's still not winning anything But the juicier comes when Barrett talks to the cameras late at night and he tells us his plan

41:47He says he plans to nominate all three icons Uh, and yosh would be his replacement nominee if one of them were to come off block Um, he only wants an icon or yosh to leave if yosh ends up being a victim of You know an icon veto an icon blockbuster yosh is still on the block Oh, well, that's still an okay outcome for him And I do think this is his best path forward for the record Um, he says he can't risk nominating anybody but the three icons because Then there's a world where the other one takes somebody off the block and then there like basically He can't afford to nominate anybody but those four people Um, because he doesn't want Taylor to leave he doesn't want Drew to leave he doesn't want Melody to leave He wants one of the four of an icon or yosh to leave Uh, and This plan should ensure that because with all three icons on the block even if yosh wins the veto

42:50He probably wouldn't use it. He probably locked the icons on the block At which point one of the icons leaves he's fine Um, if anybody else wins the veto and uses it yosh can be the replacement And he's still fine This is his plan. I do personally think it's Probably his best case scenario and this is without him even knowing how good yosh leaving for him could be considering yosh's purse He said he would love for devins or deets to leave because then yosh winning the next hoh would Hopefully target the other two icons. I think even he's forgetting about the bribe at that moment thinking Yeah, if devins leaves he can't target D so you'd have to make sure it's D that leaves Um, but He also doesn't know that that's not an option at all yet, but he likely will find out soon He says listen I get it This is this is probably stupid This is probably not my best move to break up the icons to break up all of these alliances. I have a final five

43:56I have a final three. I'm breaking all of these alliances, but it's what I want to do Uh, and especially after what D did to break my trust um, so you know, I like the icons a lot I really do and that's what makes this hard and I really hope that we can be friends outside of this house when all is said and done But uh after what they did to Mallory. I can't just let them. I can't just be carried by them. I'd rather be carried by drew Melody, uh, and hey, maybe somebody will have a better idea for me tomorrow And that's basically where we end the day It is a hundred percent the right call. I think leaving even one icon off the block leaves you for the dune day scenario where they do take One of their own off the block and then now he has to put up Taylor drew our melody Which is and then one of them could go home hypothetically. I think that spells Trouble for him. I think knowing what he wants for his hierarchy is gonna be interesting to me because I'm a Assuming Terrent of the four people Angela's last as priority to leave

44:57Then it comes down to D Devon's yash what combination of people there I don't think and I think that this burns this doesn't burn any bridges for him with yash all that much Um when yash is the replacement because I think yash will recognize that he's not gonna put up drew not gonna put up melody And then he can go compete like I think it'll be fine, right? Yeah, the logic will be Yash I need you in there to win the blockbuster so that we can guarantee a vet eviction Exactly, so then I think for for me um what'll be interesting because I do think that yeah you're blowing up these lines of short How he handles it post-NOM is gonna matter a lot Um, sometimes it's all about the aftercare with the with the nominations especially this late into the game Um, if you're worried about situations like this I think it's a ultimately a good resume move so if he can he has to exude the confidence here He has to exude the confidence and he cannot be wishy-washy on it and I feel and I worry

45:58Because this is a lot of blowback to taking one spot. This isn't like oh angel has been pissed at him A one point D has been pissed at him He's about to get all through icons like looking at him So how he handles that is going to be very interesting to me and I would be very keen to see um What he does with it because I do think He's about you know, when you're when you're one of the most liked people in the house It's gonna feel like a lot when suddenly half the house doesn't like you or is mad at you So Yeah, he has not really felt any significant heat so far in the game He has played a very sort of like tried to appease everyone as much as possible kind of game So it'll be very interesting to see how he handles the conversations today Assuming he lets them know what what's happening I do think he has a little bit of a plot he can weave here, which is that like um You know he he might put some like icons on the block And then if they go well here's the thing yosh made had this the true details of the bride

47:00He can then go oh wow So you guys have been lying to me this whole time and use that as an excuse for putting perhaps all three But then say you know what now that I've cooled dot cooled off a little bit It's actually okay. I'm not mad, but we need to get yosh out And make sure you win the video. I'll use the video. We'll put we'll put yosh on the block And try because again like yes one of these and by one of these four people It's really one of three people should leave for Barrett's game and that is just True right like D Devons or yosh are the three best competitors In the house aside from Essentially like drew at this point Drew is still with Barrett It doesn't make sense to target drew yet. I think for Barrett. So like one of those three leaving is good for Barrett And you know ideally yosh isn't contractually obligated to nominate Barrett and it would be D or Devons But given that yosh is basically contractually obligated to target Barrett

48:03yosh Is at the very least just as good for Barrett to take out And you know it would be quite annoying to have to leave the icons in the game Especially without yosh there And you do have to worry about like what Drew is doing you really have to make sure Drew is on your side at that point But it's not the end of the world given that it's definitely a bad scenario if say devons leaves and then next time because Like from my perspective at least if I'm yosh Barrett takes out devons this week We're now heading into the final seven I'm winning that hoh and I'm putting up Drew Barrett and I guess melody at that point If I still have to nominate three and I'm trying to take out Drew or Barrett and if I succeed Then cool They'll probably come after me at the final five But I've got a really good chance of winning blockbuster or or probably veto at that point maybe maybe just veto

49:10Maybe I wait until final five I don't want to win hoh final five right that's the that's not the good hoh to win Especially if there's two icons still in the game and I'm forced to nominate only My two allies And I have to hope for a veto and even then it's like tricky um So I think I do have to just gun for the final six hoh Uh, and I'm and I'm taking out Barrett or Drew and hoping that that gives me a great chance to win veto at five hoh or veto at four and then I'm not locked into anything bad and uh and I'm in a I'm in a good spot right um Uh or sorry, yeah final seven is next Uh, I skipped a I skipped a number so so there is a world where you could win You could skip one hoh I but but still point being Yash once once one of the icons is gone is a lot safer to win the hoh and take that shot at Drew or Barrett and so

50:10Yash is still a problem but The icons are also still a problem and You you really have to trust that Drew is with you and that it's like the three icons versus you drew melody Taylor um and the icons might just come right after you also and so it's just like It's really rock in a hard place and again, I think the point is That he should just make sure that at least one of the best competitors that he's Facing off against leaves this week and that I do think means d devins or yash Uh, which direction it goes is kind of it's kind of moose because I think he's getting targeted soon anyway And he just probably wants his best chance of winning a competition Yeah, I think so too. I think that um Once he's won this final eight it really does like he just has to survive final seven and reset at final six like that's his best odds And if Drew wins or melody wins that final seven then you know what it all worked out perfectly

51:14If Taylor wins, I still think he's probably okay unless arena. I'm happens. They said bit of a trouble Can you remind me when did we lose blockbuster last season? What number were we at? Um, that is a good question. Let me it was it was certainly around The final I think it might have been final seven or six Um, why don't let's see so we had Uh, Lauren Vince and then Morgan wins hroh at the final six Uh, so and she only has two nominees. So there will still be a there was still a blockbuster at the final seven um, yeah, and then at the final six there was no blockbuster Uh, which of course makes that's literally like mathematically the final time It's even possible to have the blockbuster because if you have the blockbuster at the final six um, that you uh, you're nominating three people and oh, I guess technically you could but still mathematically possible your lord

52:19Yeah, wild. Yeah, I think yeah, maybe just maybe then of having two chances to Be safe at final seven when you can't be the when you can't be the hwage again Not a bad call if you take out one of your key competitors also So because then at that point most like this week only two people are going to be exempt from veto next week. It's going to be one Um, so your odds are better with better competitors for you for your like skill step Right, and this it is probably is the best time to make a move like this as well because you still have one more week of veto and blockbuster to save yourself Um, and you're basically guaranteed to compete in veto uh, next week as well So uh, once you get through that week you can compete in hoh again uh at the final six which is a great time to win hoh Because then you hop final five and then you can win the final four hoh and the final three hoh

53:20So Yeah, I mean again, it's tough uh, uh, I And from my perspective I like I said I think taking out one of yosh devans or d makes sense Uh, but maybe there are a few other paths. Maybe you do maybe you can't trust Drew and maybe you do have to look at Drew maybe uh You maybe you instead go fall in on the The guns final three of Drew and devans and you just go D Angela and Yash or and you you you hope that devans will stick stick with you like there's there's a few different options But I just think Bottom line for me at the end of the day. I want one of those three gone Um, but again, there's there's so many different uh possibilities here It'll be interesting to see what comes of the talks and information he gathers today Yeah, and let me be the be someone to to put a cool take in here while we're talking about

54:20The block and the blockbuster I think once we have an eviction that is an elimination and has no block involved Consider the block busted. I think that once thog left We should remove the blockbuster as a format. It makes sense because we're at the jury Just let it be two norms from there on out Um, again, I think that this like the fact that we're talking about a world where people still have to nominate half the house At final eight I don't like that. I still don't really don't like that two to three. I can live with Three and then still a fourth. What are we doing? Yeah, and that's I mean, that's the main thing this is this is about I think this is exactly when we complained about it last season Yeah, Lauren's final eight hohh It's like the final eight is two few people to have three nominations and a blockbuster It's You know, it really just It becomes and this is why I'm talking about you have to just take out your best competitor

55:21Because while I do love the blockbuster as a twist and as a format for most of the game I think this deep into the game it removes too much strategy This week is Primarily all about just who wins competition. That's why my thought process is like Listen, you can't really choose who gets evicted. You can't even choose two people to get evicted You have to have like three potential targets of seven other people Uh, and luckily for Barrett he kind of has three potential targets a little bit um, but like The fact that you have three you have to have three different people that are all potentially eligible to be evicted and Quite frankly you kind of do need a fourth be if you don't control the votes uh like It's just it's just rough. It's just rough to uh to be in this spot and and I don't I don't hate nerfing hohh's But like I do dislike it feeling like there's less social strategy involved

56:21I would like there to be more voting and you know strategy then like okay well somebody's gonna win a veto Somebody's gonna win a blockbuster Um, so I have to basically roll the dice on one of four people of seven options. It's like Yeah Um, one other thing I wanted to talk about before we probably wrap up here uh BB comics who do we have as the the hands-on favorite for that with all this conversation? I personally think that Barrett or Yash Uh would be the favorites Um my chat last night was saying maybe drew but I feel like drew has actually has just like not actually performed that well granted he did well in the the quiz that he won obviously But Yash theoretically could have won that had he not been throwing um And uh and drew obviously on the blockbuster that where you look at things, but he was guessing Um, so maybe drew does okay here, but I I just

57:24I think that Barrett's knowledge of the competition just being a super fan. I think helps him a lot drew obviously knows the competition well, but like not as well as Barrett does drew hasn't watched as many seasons nearly as many seasons as Barrett has um and uh You could certainly see I mean really anybody could do decently here. I think that Angela and Melody might struggle uh just Size-wise. It's like they make this unnecessarily physical. You have to climb the ladder and hang on the thing I think they'd both be really good at it without the physical component, but that could limit them Um Whereas Barrett Probably doesn't even need the zip line. You could probably just Just look over you know just just just kind of just lean over look over um So uh so who knows but uh my money would be on Barrett or Yash personally Yeah, I think that makes sense for me. I think that um I've been have we talked before about how to make this comp like give them what they want

58:26They want it to be a little physical right? How do we make this physical but a little more balanced um for like Any person would just share determination to to get it for example I just I just don't think it needs to I don't think the The zip line. I mean like the zip line it I guess is like the visual that they like to have right but like um Just just make the Just just like have it be like a back and forth zip line without climbing involved Have like the big easel be on the platform so that you're just like Back and forth on the zip line if you want to look Uh, but you don't have to climb a ladder and like drop off from a height and break your ankle uh, you know like Yeah, that hurt just thinking about it Okay, all right We want it to be levitated. They really want it to be like visually like aerial right What if and and walk with me through this okay? What if the BB comics is like themed after like a sushi place

59:26And there's like a conveyor belt And you got to lie on the conveyor belt and like look to the side to look at the comics and that's the that takes a little bit of the arm strength element out The climbing still there But that's because they want it to be aerial and at least that way You can position yourself to go through the belt a couple of times. I don't know There's something there. I think you can make this be a little bit more of a You know a little bit more of a still visual and like good production wise, but then still Anybody can get it. What if they just hook you up fully until one of those like wire set up Uh, where you can literally just like You know, it's not like a hanging zip line, but you can just like Like float, you know, like uh like you're like you're actually flying Yeah, yeah um And I think I mean it would still be physical, but it would be less physical, right? Like it would be You're not actually hanging with your grip You're not climbing up anything. You're just hooked in the whole time and you move over and you're doing the things still hooked up

1:00:30Uh, and then you can kind of just like float over to the other side to see float back over Um, I think that would be that would look cooler and it would be more fair Yeah, um or and now we're just spitballing Or you kind of have the McDonald's like kid playground that they used to have and it's one of those like tubes That you have to like crawl through But the windows in the tube like close every like six seconds after you press the button So you can't just park there and like watch and then you do have to leave and go back to reactivate it But then you don't have the whole going down like you have to go downstairs like your boards and stuff That you want to like stay there you could Listen, we've got some good ideas here You know, we cook sometimes yeah Anything else you want to bring up for me yesterday Pooja? Um for the music heads out there Barrett went with the live your rod rego for the music and I know a lot of people were very hyped on that so good music taste Here you go So the thing to look forward to today

1:01:31um Yasha's bribe details these are I think Fairly likely to be revealed to at least Barrett today if not the whole house So What does that do for Barrett's plans? What does that do for drew for Melody for Taylor for Yash? Like if this starts to get around how does Yash explain it how does it impact how Melody sees Yash or Taylor sees Yash and again, how does Yash explain it and what will Yash do will he say? I promise I'll throw There's all kinds of things that might happen with this bribe stuff Not to mention that just the general potential chaos of the icons being told that they're going to be nominated and what are they going to do in retaliation? How upset are they going to be with Barrett? Is there going to be drama there? um I think going to be mad at Drew is Drew going to be like I'd nothing to do with this is gonna get using you back up Barrett like

1:02:32So many different things all Potentially happening today. Hopefully we get at least one of them Ideally we get all of them But it should be a fun day nonetheless um and I'll probably be going live at some point over on my patreon if you want to check it out and watch it with me uh Of course, I will be back tomorrow morning 11 a.m. Eastern to update you know happens to Dan the big brother 28 live feeds There's also unlocked tonight.
