BB28 Monday Live Feed Update September 7, 2026

0:00Music Music Every morning, tearing on strong-talk big brother looking at the stuff from yesterday All the drama, all the strategy and silly hits from EO20H Every single season, you know he is the reason, you know what's happening Rocks that he could do it tomorrow, he will do it again Hello everyone and good morning, welcome to our live feed update for September 7th I'm your turn Armstrong and I'm here today to update you on everything that happened yesterday The big brother 28 live feeds it was day 62 in the house

1:02And we had some campaigning, we had some hanging out, we had some rain, which is interesting And in a little bit of a challenger situation going on, nothing serious, nothing major It should pal, it's here to talk to me about it, how you doing, should pal I'm good, I'm good as you know it doesn't rain often on big brother, at least for the backyard And so something else that doesn't come often is me, I don't come here often, I'm not here All the time I get to join you once a year for our annual Labor Day party And so I'm very excited to talk about it but I can't lie, a little disappointed last season I mean we had, you know, you can't trade one for one, when you can trade two for one I think we had the Morgan hours, I think Morgan was thinking about well maybe I don't use the Vita all my style, I use it on you Like we had a lot of crazy stuff going on, so I had high hopes for this And I'm just interested to see what you thought about the day

2:04Well listen, Chappelle, the poop will be in the pudding The poop is in the pudding You know, when he said it, I was like maybe, maybe he didn't say poop, maybe he did it But there's no other way to really interpret that, I think I saw people on the line saying maybe he said poof I just, I don't want that pudding, I don't want any of it, I'm good, keep the pudding, keep the poop too Yes, well of course as you all know, Barrett is the H.O.H. he nominated Angela D and Devon's the three icons He then shows Yash to play in the Vito, Yash ended up winning the Vito And that's about where we stand Of course, the target right now is leaning toward Devon's assuming that Angela wins the blockbuster Otherwise it's just whichever of Devon's or D does not win the blockbuster And Yash has no plans currently to use the Vito on any of the three of them

3:05And so that's how we start the day Now as I mentioned, it is raining in the Big Brother backyard Pretty rare occurrence in general They don't have a lot of backyard time in the first place, so even when it does occasionally rain, it's like they're not always out there But full on raining in the house, it's a vibe A little bit, it felt like you were kicking in with your homies and on the inside It's like it's pretty outside, but we all got to get in top, maybe do games or something like that It's like you're looking on the outside, it's a pretty day, but it's not nice enough for us to really go out and enjoy Maybe sell on the porch, have a drink, drink some coffee, talk a little bit So yeah, it really did set the mood for at least the beginning of the day But I'm happy that once it starts to clear up, they can move around a little bit more Because it's fun seeing them kind of confined in a way so that they can really start to mingle And we see a lot of these other relationships form But I don't know, I was kind of enjoying the kind of intimacy of the rainy morning

4:08Yeah, at one point it's been a portion of the day just kind of like sitting in the doorway watching the rain come down That's the point about Chipotle Yeah, it was fun You gotta have a porch seat Oh, if it's raining, you gotta go out there kicking, you gotta sip out your mug You know, have a couple, just talk, reminisce a little bit, there was a lot of that going on in the house this day anyway What people just thinking back on some of the crazier things that have happened in season It really was a reflective morning for these people So we start the day with Barrett talking to the cameras He is still leaning toward wanting Devons out He thinks that if the blockbuster is the ropes competition, he thinks the D is gonna win it Of course, the ropes one being the one where they are in a harness It's the one that Michael lost in BB24 It's the one that you're in the harness with the rope And you have to untangle it through like the scaffolding Like by going around and up and down and through

5:09And then you see if always it long enough to hit the button No, it's not, I have to go back They've all kind of been waiting for this one And considering that they think that this is potentially the last blockbuster We know it's probably not, there's at least one more They're kind of like this is the one remaining one that they can really remember It could be coming And so there's a lot of talk about, is it the ropes? Because they all kind of think that if it's the ropes, D probably is gonna win it Which of course would mean that their goal, which is taking Devons out, could work He does think that the icons would nominate him and Yash They're not nominating Yash, we know this, they're gonna continue to confirm this throughout the day Because he still does not believe that Yash can't nominate them He says that he wants Drew or Melody to win the next HOH Because he's FAP or bust Telling us the cameras that he is still loyal to FAP

6:11He wants to go to the end with them Despite you know Burning Drew every second he has the chance to It's not great, I get what he's saying You know, like you need your shooters with you And you gotta find the group that you think that you can not only win with They can target some of these people But also that you can probably beat them in And so it doesn't sound like an awful path But you know, I think Mari mentioned it Or want to recap or something one time That she talks about Drew shows kind of have like this kick dogs syndrome Where the person that he's loyal to is like beating them up a little bit And then he just has to keep carling back And this week I don't really like the way Barrett handled Drew asked somebody not so much They're like he shouldn't be annoyed with Drew and Drew You know, ratting him out to the icons all that kind of stuff Fine, that's that's good But moving forward you're gonna need these people on your side And losing Drew would not be great for him at this point Yeah I I would say it I mean, that's what we've been talking about all week Like the path that he chose requires Drew to be on board

7:14And he's still choosing that path But Drew is I would say considerably less on board than he was at the start of this week He's chosen violence If I'm Drew the petty the little petty demon on my shoulder Is starting to whisper in my ear like, hey, you might not win this but You could You might be able to get some revenge on Barrett You know, and so like I said maybe not all the way right now for Drew But if it's me and I like I said I'm never gonna be good at a game like this That little petty guy is right here on my shoulder say get him again You land with your girl do something So yeah, if I was Barrett I would handle Drew with care Well, in Barrett's ideal world The eviction order would go devins this week followed by D Then Yash To make a final five of fat plus Taylor and Angela And then you know from there they've got they've got options Now I would hope for Barrett that at that point it's not fat poor bust

8:17Or fat band bust It's it's It's I'm going to the end with Taylor and Angela that would be that would be what I think Barrett should do At that point he should absolutely want to take out the show at the very least He should be taking out Drew at five in my opinion But I'll see Fapping bust is crazy I'm not letting you get away with that one that is crazy. That's actually insane Come on Barrett Yeah, hey, hey, leave the melody sound clips to yourself. Okay, we'll get to her later on But you know, I think you you know mentioning Angela as a good final three option for him But I think Melody as well, you know like maybe not fat or bust But I think if you're looking at people he can beat there's a few options on the board They do not include Drew but you know for the sake of numbers Yeah, you're gonna need them short term for sure Hmm Well, I I also quite frankly think that if I'm gonna Protect the order here which I think is like not the worst order in the world

9:18But I also think that if I'm Barrett Yash has to go right after Whoever leaves this week. I think Yash is far too dangerous in competitions. I mentioned this yesterday Yash has basically won every competition. He's tried to win For the last like five or six weeks Like this guy if you have the opportunity to take him out you need to take it Yeah, when you said five I was like oh that's Interesting because there's so many opportunities for him to save himself at that point still You know, I think you have to start shooting early and often to get somebody like Yash out And so waiting, you know, I think you have a better your better odds are against you know D their better against You know devins there you know there are people that you know You can't really count on to win all the time but for Yash It looks like some of these challenges really do come easy for him And you know devins is defeatable. We saw Taylor almost beat him in the blockbuster You know just the ball bounce a certain way and we wouldn't be having this conversation about devins right now

10:20But Yash is the big bad wolf bear it sees it, but it's just the order in which they're going to get and I you know I have this problem with a few other people in the house too But just the order in which they're approaching Yash as a threat is really starting to make me look at them as like I don't know how the end game is going to go for you Yeah, I just I just feel like not to harp on this too much but I think that like If Barrett was able to keep Drew fully on board with him If you take out one of the icons this week Yash the following week And then the other survivor player that they're like the game almost just ends As long as you still had Drew locked in as your final two jugular he's not coming after you at the final six Or final five and you've got room to breathe And and he still got that off like it's still possible to get there but but it but it is I think a little bit less likely We'll see

11:21So Devins talks to Yash and begins his campaign Devins is going to be campaigning throughout the day So are Angela and D they have different campaigns obviously very different approaches Devins approaches Yash Talking about how he fears having to face D in the ropes blockbuster and warning him against Barrett Drew in melody as a trio He trusted those those two really Barrett and Drew and look where it got him and you know he's one to talk He's betrayed Yash in the past but it's not like he's the only one that's done any betrayals These two had been working with him from the very beginning of the game and now they've turned on him because he's too big a threat And this is a genuine warning that Yash should listen to because it's right both Drew and Barrett are looking to turn on Yash before they claim to be working with him to final five or whatever Because yeah, they would of course be looking to take a shot there But but obviously that doesn't exactly change anything when it comes to Devins

12:26He's not going to just turn around and work with Devins, but Devins says I have one singular focus in this game and my focus is very tall I mean that narrows it down quite frankly, you know, look I don't I don't have an issue with you saying like I'm going after Barrett If you keep me around I got I got your back in the fight against Barrett but if I'm Yash I don't care like it you know at some point Y'all are going to come after me I think throughout the day they're even going to allude to it a few times and hey Yash basically got to win out at this point or we're all going to vote them out at some point And so yeah, it's a good pitch, you know trying to keep yourself around to say like hey you don't have to worry about me You can't target us because of this bribe and I got my side set on somebody who just made a really big move that could look really good in front of the jury You know this iconic move, you know for lack of a better word. So yeah, I think it's not the worst thing you could be saying to Yash for sure

13:26So he says I'm after I'm after the talk I'm after Barrett and Barrett's people I'm not after you or Taylor And Yash says he appreciates that so Devon's kind of starts that conversation in the meantime Angela and D are working on their own Pitch for the day D Is hoping that the blockbuster is the ropes because she thinks she have a great chance of feeding Devon's at it. I'm telling you all people all over the house just talking about ropes today Angela has an idea for what they should be pitching today. She thinks that they should pitch to Taylor and Melody that the four women should stick together to add incentive to keep both Angela and D over Devon's And you know it's not the worst pitch in the world It's you know I would say relatively transparent but It's also like it's one of those things. It's it's a pretty common pitch for women to make in like the last gasps of their game

14:33And usually what happens is the other women are like Now you want to work with the women now you now you come back to me after after everything I don't remember the quote The Thanos quote right yeah, but you but you get it right you know you get that you get down you're losing all your options and these people who you basically have been ignoring all season start to look really attractive as people that you get work with but also people that you have one there's one thing that's still tying y'all together right you're having Having had any strategic moments together or not many y'all have been actively working gives each other but like what about girls strong we could do that and honestly if I'm Taylor and Malor Melody I'm looking at the guys on that other side you know Yash bear it drew their conference for sure so you know if we're going to take out somebody sure D is also a comment but I mean there's three of them over there that exists too at least I'd have one on my side short term So it's gives them something to think about and I honestly do think it sinks in a little bit at least a melody. Yeah, I mean it's a it's a pitch I would say that is is like it's not going to land super hard in terms of like oh yeah we should be the four women to the end of the game but it is going to land in the sense of like I was already thinking that of course I want to have it so but we'll we'll get there

15:55So Drew and Melody they talk a bit more they still don't really believe that Yash is telling the truth about the bribe and that is still a problem for both of them again I'm going to say that like the only person in the game that believes Yash is telling the truth is still bear it who is like still holding on to this somehow Drew and Melody they're not sure but they keep talking about how they're like my gut our guts are telling us that Yash is the one lying but you know they're not sure Terry is bear it in denial? I don't even know what this I have to imagine it a little bit I think he's mostly in denial about the fact that a power like that could exist Yeah, but he's a fan he should know that they do they do exist I mean we've seen these people talk about the cool desire you know multiple times that they forget what that meant you know so yeah I think he believes it I think he believes it but he just can't allow himself to really internalize it right because it because it would make him feel like maybe this isn't the move that he should be doing right like if he's like dang I am keeping Yash around who will immediately have no choice but to put up me in my allies because he cannot target the people that I want out of the game

17:12I'm not going to target the people that I want out the most so yeah but if I don't believe him then it's not actually a thing I have to perceive thus I am not making a move that I should have to question this is the right thing I should be doing I think that's where he's at yeah Well, Dean Angela do approach Taylor with their women first message it's not too late it's not too late for the women to come together They say hey devins is going to work with the guys moving forward and listen we're not looking to target you or melody or hailer or sorry or Yash really because Yash can't even target us and now Taylor knows this is the truth because Yash has admitted it to her she's the only person he admitted it to So she like I think understands that they are telling the truth when they say we're not going to target Yash because he can't target us so basically the pitch to Taylor is we're going after Barrett and Drew Those are the two guys were primarily going after but we want to work with you and Melody to do so and we'll leave Yash out of it because he can't even target us in return

18:19And they ask Taylor if they if she thinks Melody would be down and she's like I think so and they're like yeah but what about Drew Isn't that a problem for Melody and Taylor's like nah she sees through Drew don't worry about that Yeah Melody is kind of she's she's kind of put him in his place now to where she gets it right like this is a game I can't really trust him She likes cuddling with them but you know you can cuddle with other people too so yeah I don't think Taylor is too worried about Melody going back to Drew in any real capacity But I do wonder if this is Taylor's best in-row to actually win in the game you know like don't get me wrong Yash is somebody who will protect her for sure But you know even Taylor Hale was looking at Michael like hey brother you got to go you know at some point you are one of my allies And I and I can trust that you won't put me up but taking you out is a big deal for anybody who wants to win the game And so I don't think Taylor should be turning her back on this alliance anytime soon I agree I do think it would absolutely be in Taylor and what it which is again it's like this is the path she is looking at moving toward

19:25Ideally they are evicting devins if devins wins the blockbuster one of Angela or D has to go anyway and you at that point just take out D But like Taylor and Taylor not only is moving this direction in the sense that she's trying to take out devins over D But she's also been working on Angela will continue to work on Angela in terms of that relationship so like I agree I think this is definitely the path I do I think my biggest worry for Taylor is that she won't turn on Yash when she needs to I think that she does have like a path to win and it includes sitting next to either Angela or Melody in the final two But Yash is kind of a problem for everyone if he's because I do think he's pretty close to being able to win out We talk about this every season it was a problem with Michael it certainly was a problem when Jag fully did it

20:27It was a problem when Mackenzie and Chelsea Comptow and it was a problem when Morgan and Vince nearly Comptow So like you do have to worry about this but it's not like you know it's trickier for Taylor because she still has to do Like if Yash leaves it's probably just drew and bear it that Comptow so like it's a trickier sort of timeline for her Yeah my concern is not if she will be able to pull the trigger on the Yash boot because I think she's trying to signal throughout the day that she would She keeps saying stuff to the fact of Yash doesn't listen to me you know I think I can talk to Yash and make Yash do something Yash does his own thing You know I think she's trying to put some distance between the two of them so people would know that she'd be down to clown if it comes down to it But my issue is that I think I still think Yash is too far down the pecking order you know Him making it past drew in devins and bear it Dear God I mean he's got you know HOHVDO HOHVDO

21:31He's there you know and I'm just like hey you might have just missed your opportunity Yeah I mean I think quite honestly I think that Barrett's preferred eviction order is pretty close to Taylor's ideal eviction order which is Like it tailors if ideal eviction order I think would be devins then drew Then bear it with a final Final five of herself Angela And then and then at that point hope that one of the one of the women can take out Yash But kids like if she leaves and drew her bear it like drew her bear it are probably just gonna win a bunch of those comps Whereas Yash will fully keep her safe through the end game even if he does end up comping out And then the maybe will be a chance at the end or she could beat him in a quiz or something like she has to take that risk a lot more than somebody like Barrett should And so I could see that being more of a shot there

22:33Yeah you got to get the girls together to jump him at some point you know I but we've seen that before too I was in that way June and Allison season they they somehow end up and they're like god damn it. We got take out Robert You know it's like you get to eat you're like how are we gonna do this in there? You know you just like you have to win when it counts the most And so you you're gonna put somebody in that position I just with bet on Yash to win more than those other people Right and I didn't the Annoying thing to is that she actually can't count on Yash to keep her safe in the end game No because it'd be forced to nominate her the first time he wins an H.O.H. Get him out He's got to go like I'm looking at her and her path to the end it is a rocky one. She's got to start winning Okay, what she needs to do is encourage Yash to win the next H.O.H. Mm-hmm encourage him to because they've talked about Drew going next but they've also talked about Yash being like you need to do it because I can't win. I think she needs to be like Yash you need to win Risk me going on the block in the event that it's a blockbuster in the Zavito like whatever as long as we can take out one of Drew

23:41Arboret next week that would be great for us and now you're free from the thing Like I think she just has to go for it for that like win the one of the next two H.O.H. is Because she can't risk Yash making the end game with the curse still active Yeah, and then you know you get Drew Arboret up there and then you go to the women like hey, this is it This is us. This is our chance. We talked about this for this is we taking out one of the guys next step Yash you know we waste we burned his power you know now look now we got to get him out you know he just uses H.O.H. You know, I think there's something there but she has to get active it can't be just like oh let's just see what happens I think this is when you have to start moving your pieces around because it's not the the clearest path of victory for her Yeah, and and to be clear it's today on the feeds that D Theoretically confirmed another Detail about the bribe something that we've been talking about D says on the feeds with no correction from production

24:41Which who even knows if that means anything at this point, but it should that That That Yash would need to take her to the final two at the final three if that's his first H.O.H. and that's the only option So like it which is something that I kind of assumed would be true considering that if the next time he won H.O.H. Final three is in H.O.H. he has to keep the three of them safe as long as it makes mathematical sense if there's one icon there and one new player It would make mathematical sense that he has to keep the safe and to Victor the other one so Quite quite deadly this power if you don't burn it Yeah, I Don't I don't hate that part of the bribe because the bribe is the bribe right the math the math works out fine whatever What the the part that I've always taken on which with the what the bribe was that you know the the verbiage is like you know if it benefits D's game You know like if it benefits your game. This is a thing that you that you know, this is how you can use your bribe D going out

25:47You know, how does him you know keeping the vets off the block if D goes out and it's not at his hands How does that benefit her game at all? So that's been the clause that I've been kind of looking at is like you know once she's gone Let's move on Yeah, I have seen this so people have said because in the original text it says that it's something to benefit your game And and therefore if as you're saying if D is evicted it no longer can benefit her game because she's basically dead right like yeah She's dead even from the grave it can't be benefit like you could argue that like oh it helping out the icons benefits What do you want but it's no longer her game? however, we could also go along the path of like It being binding past D's eviction is more beneficial to D's game because if it breaks when she leaves then Then then they are incentivized to evict a D so it's beneficial to D's game that it's binding even if D leaves Yes, or maybe like it's beneficial to D's game as long as they believe that until she leaves right what she leaves

26:53Then you can reveal the real truth right like okay, she's going now So now you know now we don't have to worry about that But I do think that if there is a sticking point It's that because I think like I said I don't care about Yash took the bribe you know, so if you took a bribe that was a little bit fuzzy You know, that's all you but when it gets down to what the final four final three the rules that they didn't change for at least for that part of it If D's still in the game you should still have to honor the the deep portion for sure But it's to me the D from the grave portion is where I'm calling. I don't know Yeah, that's Really the best case for Yash is like I said either winning soon or maybe it like the best way to burn this would be winning the final four HOH because There's nothing you can do to keep anybody safe at that point. Yeah, it's really like the two opposite HOHs of the final three in the final four where the final four is just safety No power and final three is like the most power ever So you really need to win that final four one

27:56Yeah, for sure or or just evict the final icon at the final four by winning the veto if you can or something right but No, all right anyway Devon stocks to bear it They have one of Devon's is sort of classic Post big game move conversations where he's like Fine, you know, we're gonna be friends Barrett tells him I was truly crossover strong truly I you guys had my game for the longest time but You know it played out the way it played out And Devon's like I understand but just just being up front with you I'm not gonna be going after Yash because Yash is contractually obligated to work with me whether he likes it or not But hey if things play out, you know, there's a world where we end up working together again, you know, this is a classic Classic Devon's line

28:57Barrett says that Yash is still saying it only applies to D so I don't know if he's actually contractually obligated to work the devons like listen I don't really care anymore what you believe Nor should he right like it's actually in Devon's interest for Barrett to believe that it only applies to D because If he knows it applies to all three then it doesn't matter who leaves But if it only applies to D Barrett should be incentivized to take out D although that's not really happening And also I told you I've told you I've given you all the information I can give you I've tried to to sway your opinion. I've argued with you. I've debate. We've had all the conversations If you don't want to believe me and then Yash ends up putting your ass on the block next don't come look at it I was like well, I didn't think and now we had to touch you baby You you got to do what you got to do, you know, so I think at some point you kind of be done talking with it Like we've been talking to this bribe to death since you know that first we like oh this bribe is nothing And then D goes and like just finds the perfect loophole to make this thing so special in part of the game

30:00That like yeah, we've talked it through but they are talking it through that tie to talk about it I'm like hey a part of me kind of like hey do what you want to do and see what happens That's kind of where I am again the little petty monster all my shoulders kind of like all right. Fuck around to find out That's pretty much where he's at And Devons is like I mean this is the devons on the bottom that I think like Rob in particulars really wanted to see Because you know, we talked yesterday about how He he was sort of like in the process of falling from grace um And uh and it was like really getting to him But now he's sort of like landed. He's recovered and he's back to like Magnanimous devons who is gonna find whatever angle he can and have conversations about how we got to let by guns be by guns and And also tried to try to trap there at a little bit here like asking, you know who the Reno would have been And Barrett's like I don't really know. I don't really know doesn't give him anything

31:02um and Barrett does also explain his conversation with Angela when he told her she was going up And she was like I'm a bigger threat than devons Which was very funny But uh basically devons tries here doesn't seem to make much progress, but it's a good try I like devons playing from this angle as well. I just did enjoy devons You know at the top of the structure because to me my biggest issue was was that he was so soft He would have moments of like let me show my teeth. Let me make the cutthroat move But then he would always massage it with the dad oil, you know, like oh, yeah Well, you know, you know, well, you know, there's no hard feelings. I'd love to work with you know No, that's not the big brother that I want to watch I like the idea that you blindside these people and then you sit in you sit in the pile of blood, right? But devons he like the like the wrong blindside for example He just completely just oh, it's fine, you know, and there's no hard feelings and there's nothing There's nothing you know like and I love you like you know, you're like a brother and I will be best for I hate that so much

32:04At least this gets some license to kind of just throw what throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks You you preferred uh yesterday's devons Well, I'm not really mad about everything. Yeah, yeah a little bit a little bit So so my my issue is that I want to see whatever you do you give it a hundred percent And I felt like everything he did prior with these blinds Was just so half measure even the common thing it was just like, uh, you know, well Yeah, you know, and then I gotta use the I'm sorry I ain't like that say say it with your test dammit, you know, that's kind of how I feel and so for me I just always felt like he was trying to be the cool dad every time he was going to do something cutthroat But the cool dad would sneak up and say like hey remember, you know, America's watching and you are Danny Tanner here You know like but I don't like hey no take that take that dad You know shit move on, you know like so here. I think he has a lot less to uh to kind of maintain when it comes to that Daphosa he's still trying to do it, you know, but he's using it now as more like a guilt tactic, you know as opposed to like trying to save face

33:04All right, well This is not gonna be the end of his pitching of course. He does talk to Drew And it's it's funny because Drew is like hey, you should pitch to Taylor and Yash That you want to go after me and bear it and and malady And Devon's like oh good good idea Good idea Like he hasn't already been doing that because it's real. He is going after them This is where we at What are we doing Drew of course still wants devins to stay over D And he should to be clear like uh he does still have a better relationship with devins than D Dean Angela though continue their campaign to malady Hey malady you need to be wary of the boys the girls we should be working together And malady's like I already am like don't worry like I've been putting in work to make sure that they're like turning on each other

34:05And that that they're gonna take that vans out like I got this cover Um and like She's not wrong like she has been putting in the work to make sure devins is the target She has also been putting some work to make sure that they turn on Yash and to provide tension between both Drew and Barrett I've been very hard on Melody Otheson because you know she my issue of Melody is always that she talks Such a big game about everybody else's game. Why yourself stupid. That's a bitch move. Da da da da da You know she puts on that that that hoodie and becomes M&M. She's not Melody anymore You know she started you know dropping like dead ass pro dead ass, you know Hey calm down, you know gangster, but you know for now she is starting to look at the endgame is okay What can I do here and you know these conversations that they're having About the all girls and stuff like that with Melody. She's not running that back to them You know those are some certain things. She is keeping close to her chest and I like that I like that it does seem like she's been a little bit more self-interested now because I don't think she can trust any of these people at all

35:08You know, I think she needs to make sure that she's looking out for herself Yeah, and and like I mean genuinely, you know, it's not like she's like running the game right now or anything But like she is doing what she said just to them that she is like Like I said she's been trying to plant a bunch of doubt in Yash when it comes to Barrett. She doesn't need to withdrew And she's also like really been driving that wedge between Drew and Barrett While getting closer to to Barrett saying like he's her guy and And you know staying up late with Drew every night and then Intentionally kind of like flirting and cuddling with Barrett in front of Drew and making him jealous and then Drew's talking to her about it the night before and She's gonna be doing a little bit more of that tonight and And you know while also furthering her relationship with Taylor and with Yash It's it's been good stuff like is it too little too late when it comes to the perception of her game

36:10If she doesn't end up winning any competitions probably But it is all landing at the moment You know, we'll see if it lasts as well Every time somebody's you know Done anything in this house. They just immediately get caught and punished for it, but But it's happening and to the point where There's this whole thing that Melody does with Drew. They swap clothes. They dress like one another and Like it's this whole thing and and Barrett makes a comment He says he says Drew. I'm so I hope you don't mind That I have a little bit of a crush on Melody now after seeing her in that fit and It's joke What is it joke because There's definitely some some vibes happening and that I think some vibes that have been happening over the last

37:11Few days to slash weak ish Uh Like I've seen some people speculate like does Barrett have a little bit of a crush on Melody is that is that even perhaps like where some of the Tension between Barrett and Drew like comes from I've seen that speculation And I was kind of like I don't know like that seems but now He's saying it out loud later tonight. They're gonna be They're gonna be pretty cuddly and close and And Drew's gonna actively be jealous and talk about it like this is becoming a little bit of a thing Barrett and Mallory were married follow me on this one Then Mallory dies Her best friend Melody It's so sad she needs consoling the only person who understands the pain she's going through Is her best friends ex-husband they find each other And they just find comfort with each other. You know, I'm saying like it this this this feels like a

38:14Platonic friendship You know, we've seen so many of these on Big Brother before I think last season you and I talked about Platonic friendships in the Big Brother house and what they look like and if they involve putting your toes on someone's pepperoni nipples Then that's that's what you do for your platonic friend in that situation now do I do that with my pl- No, not that's not really how I get down but again Barrett just lost his wife Melody's lost her best friend if they need to lean on each other for support tearing who am I who are me who are me to stand in the way I guess so I guess uh, I guess damn damn Exactly I don't love So I for my my random aside, but that's just kind of how I feel like because I feel like it's not just random It's not like Barrett just woke up one day and started seeing Melody. I mean, it's somebody was in the way

39:17You know, and now that she's going Sometimes you just need somebody to lean on that's all Well, uh Melody does talk to Drew and Barrett after her conversation with D and Angela and she tells them hey devins is trying to get the veto used Again doing what she told the an Angela she's been doing which is making sure they stay focused on devins She says there's no way she could keep devins if he stays on the block And they're like we get that Barrett says it probably won't even matter all this talk anyway because one of them one of the two of them is surely going to win the blockbuster and She again she also talks about Yash and how she's still concerned about Yash's bribe She says they really need to drill the ceasefire thing into Yash So hopefully he just throws the HOH we don't have to find out how true that bribe situation really is So again doing all the things she said she was doing when she was talking to D and Angela Of course D and Angela saw her go upstairs and went maff

40:21Melody she's pushed ranting us out to Barrett right now. We know it. We know it This is what happens when you don't have a good game relationship with somebody until you need them Because you didn't you don't know what their true intentions are you don't you haven't spent enough time with them So it's like yeah, you're floating ideas that you like you think it's a good idea to float But you also know this person has every reason in the world not to believe you or to work with you You know don't don't get me wrong there are strategic reasons for sure that they that she could probably be dragged in your area But also socially y'all just have never been that tight and so yeah She might go back to where she feels more comfortable and they should be suspicious of her Even though she's doing exactly what she's saying. I don't I don't think I can fault them with not being able to question their own You know type of influence they have on her because they shouldn't have much I mean listen they question everything Yeah Their radar is so broken That sometimes it's sometimes it's right But only because they're always suspicious They did themselves they did themselves they could have established trust I think at one point D is talking about I don't know if it was yesterday or day before whatever D's like sitting around talking about how the icons had this game on lock

41:28And how they would just get bored and just like hey, what if we just Just broke the trust with these people and just Blindsided this person and left this person out of the bow and all those other stuff It's like you'll dug this grave where you can't trust anybody because they can't trust you as you said Okay, we got this big ass alliance We're just gonna whittle it down as far as we can and see you know and and do the Pemidi style alliance the brigade style like all that kind of stuff You know, you probably wouldn't be having these conversations as hard or as intensely But no you've given so many reason people for people to go against their word to you that yeah, I wouldn't trust you either Yeah Well Devon's continues his Pitching for the day he talks to yash again saying uh hey If you use the video on me that would be Huge moment, you know like it would be in all the tiktok reels Hey, you know like uh that you know you don't get that many opportunities to make a big moment like that um and

42:28uh he says and just you know i'm Bear would have put you up as a re you know that right you were 26 seconds away from being the rena um and yash is like listen I might I could be down, but I'd need to talk to bear it because I can't use the veto without knowing who the replacement nominee would be Because if it's true sure, but if it's Taylor uh, obviously that couldn't really work um And so uh so Devon's is trying this melody asks yash afterward. He she's like so what was what was Devon's pitching you Uh, and he truthfully tells her the pitches that he's going after bear it and drew and that the veto should be used on him True is the re-num, but yash says i'm not considering it like uh he tried devon's tried But it's honestly not even worth having the conversation He what he was interested in of course was that uh devon's seems to think that he shouldn't trust drew Drew does make yash nervous He says the ceasefire was the most convenient thing for drew because none of us have put each other on the block

43:33But Drew has put two of us on the block So great for drew that we call a ceasefire at this point She tries to play defense a little bit. She says i also don't trust drew But i i do think he's been spooked into working with us like he doesn't really have a choice at this point Uh, and if he did turn like i'd be so done with him Um, but yash doesn't really drop it Because we know that yash wants to target drew next week And so he's trying to make sure he lays the groundwork here in my opinion um So he keeps pressing on this drew uh He's so fraud he's done this he's done that uh, I'm really worried He's gonna turn on us and and melody keeps trying to like dodge and weave and kind of be like i agree, but i agree but he's still a bigger threat, right? Um, and so she's at the end of it She's kind of just like you know, it just be it'd be so great if we just double eviction We just get rid of devins and d in one night. He's like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure

44:36So one of those conversations where they're like There's there's an underlying thing happening that they're not actively addressing Which is that yash wants to target drew next and she wants to target d next but they're not specifically talking about that Yash isn't entertaining the idea of taking devins down to put drew up But if bear it was into it should yash be entertaining this This is what I have the second These nominations were made. I was like if yash wins this video. I wonder if he should use it And I think the answer is if bear it was Down for it a thousand percent he should um, if bear it is not down for it, he can't Uh, so like It comes down to bear it and bear it is not down for it So he can't really do it, but like Really, I mean if Taylor wasn't Available as the renom it might even be worth just forcing the issue and forcing drew on the block But he can't because Taylor is there and obviously bear it is just not gonna nominate

45:39Uh, true So it's not really something he can do but It's certainly something he should consider like yes the vets are a trio they're dangerous But they're not coming after yash because he can't nominate them. So You know, there's there's some Credence to the idea that getting drew out is better if if yash is not planning to win the next hoh Then it leaves drew is like way too likely to potentially win and that leaves yash in another spot. We asked to win a veto Um at the same time though he needs to like he needs to get rid of these icons because he can't nominate them Is so like that's tricky, but either way like yeah getting drew on the block and and further ruining the relationship between bear it and drew would be great for yash I would love to see the push, you know like yash really does kind of dismisses it But I would love to see what happened But at that point I think it's Melody's influence versus yash's influence over a bear it right because Melody's gonna be saying no

46:39What do you what do you why would you put up drew? He's he's good with us I think we got him back on our side and yash is gonna be saying like no he's not good with you He wants to take you out he was good to you. I last time I promised look you got to believe me So but I would love to see the try, you know, I just I feel like because we're coming toward the end game I would like to see people playing a little bit more aggressively Yeah, and to be clear it shouldn't be on devins or d it should be on Angela It's the exact it's the exact same thing that drew wanted to do Use the veto on Angela put drew on the block and now you can still take out one of the icons But you've like just ruined bear its relationship with drew Great for yash no downside But but bear it's not stupid enough to do that. So he's not gonna So uh Angela talked with Taylor again Taylor's been working on this relationship Angela's also working on this relationship Angela's strategy for the week on a personal level she explained this to D is just going up to people and being like I just don't want to be blindsided you're gonna tell me if I'm gonna be blindsided right

47:42So she does that to Taylor And Taylor's like I promise I'll let you know if I hear anything Angela talks more about how the women should work together Taylor brings up like why did you why did you bring up the bribe thing right before knobs like it kind of You know struck me as a bit convenient the timing And Angela's like well, we were about to go on the block We thought maybe we get yash on the block, but it was devins his idea devins is the one that came up the idea um And I don't blame yash for lying about it like of course he'd lie and and Taylor says I don't either So uh just They're again continuing to work on this relationship keep it in mind Yeah, there's definitely moments where I can look at Angela and Taylor and say like They could they could be something here I think there was a the moment where Taylor's telling Angela hey towards the beginning of the game It just didn't feel like you were open to working with me you were kind of working with ops Haley and so because of that You know, it just never really felt like the most welcoming position Taylor started by this before where when she reads the vibe is not

48:43welcoming she goes and does her own thing like down and go to my pond I'm a kicker with the people I like It's not the best gameplay, but she's she's identified why she was doing it And so with her even being like, you know, I would have been down to work with you I think she's still leaving that door open that if Angela can be of use to her she's down Yes, Angela goes and talks to D Um, again, this is when they say like Melody she went right upstairs after we talked to her I Bet she ratted us out to bear it And they talk about how they like Taylor more than Melody And how they would vote for Taylor over Melody in a final two or at least he would But boy would they not want to have to do that Angela would rather walk right out of jury than have to vote between one of those two They also talk about Drew and how he is definitely behind all of Barrett's decisions And how they would definitely vote for Drew over Barrett in the final two In fact, they'd vote for Drew over anyone in the final two

49:45They'd vote for Drew over Yash in the final two Because hey Yash was sleeping for the first half of the game Drew He was always hustling. He was always working Angela says Drew he's like a Dan Geesling I Don't know how to feel about this because on the one hand I want to I want to analyze the idea that you know They're like hey, yeah, if it's if it's Drew in the final two We we are going to be pulling for him. We're gonna be voting for him because if this is somebody you feel like Oh, yeah, this is my friend in the game. They've earned my vote because of just proximity We've been so close together. Y'all been targeting Drew at every chance you could get You have not trusted them at all you bad mouth from to everybody. So I don't really believe them when they say this here This is the most ridiculous storyline that like All season they have been there's a Drew that exists in their mind that is completely separate from the Drew that exists in reality and

50:48It's it's It's Completely destroyed all of their games that they that they refuse to trust the guy that is the most trustworthy to them for them And now it is it is circled back around somehow to where their paranoia about Drew that is all false Is causing them to to now want to vote for Drew to win in the end Because they think he's doing so much more than he actually is And there's a world where Drew wins this game As in their minds the Dan Geesling Who played them all and was behind all of Barrett's moves and was playing the whole house the whole time Despite him having done basically none of that. This is so stupid Yeah, when they said I don't think y'all even believe that you know I think Angela's kind of leaning into well, you know We're friends and I won't vote for my friend blah blah blah

51:50But to me this feels like Barrett pitched you off most recently And so because of that you've now had to you know rationalize Well, we can't possibly vote for Barrett. We're kind of bitter right now I mean don't give me wrong that could change Taylor is gonna point that out But for them to just be like nah, Drew is the guy. Drew is the guy. Yeah, it's always been Drew man I like yeah, that's our guy. Well, that's our friend. He's also strategic. He's also social like he's got the full package Like Angela I see in the way he was acting about voting for Chelsea. I don't trust your votes. No way I don't trust the way you look at the game anyway. Sorry But I do think that because Barrett is the most recent person to have burned them the person who put them in this position They're not ready to conceptualize the idea of rewarding him for this behavior quite yet The thing is they think that Drew's doing it too. They think that Drew is behind it and that he's playing in their faces But because they think he's been doing more Uh, it's it's just it's wild and like you know I was talking the other day about how They keep saying in the house. I'd rather be lucky than good

52:53Uh, and I really feel like that is going to be the motto of the season So many of the players have had those moments where like Their bad gameplay put them in a position To be evicted and then they got lucky and didn't get evicted uh, and nobody has benefited from that more than Drew this season And if Drew ends up winning because they mistakenly believe that he was a better player than he was Because of their paranoia all season You'd really rather be lucky than good, you know The blockbuster really does allow you to stumble yo-ass into a part of the game that you had no business at We watched Keanu and Kelly who both should have been pre jurors Uh Go all the way toward the end of the game. I mean this is this is where we start to lose players like that Right they they just outlast it the green green Reaper way too long because of the blockbuster It gives you too many different outs and too many different win scenarios And sometimes you just like you said you just stumble into it And I think this season is no different I think that there are a few people who you know based on their own uh gameplay

53:55If you take the blockbuster out they're gone, you know Devons included especially after last week and so yeah, I it wouldn't be the most I you know it wouldn't be the most outlandish thing in the world if that you start to reward players who make it because you just aren't able to get them out And then at that point the narrative just kind of forms around it around the outcome instead of yeah, you know the outcome being the opposite Well, it's something we talked about a lot now at this point It was a literal decade ago that we talked about this but when Nicole beat Paul Uh in large part because of Devons vote who was like Nicole did more Um, we talked a lot about how like Nicole didn't necessarily do more In fact, she kind of did less than Paul in terms of like active moving in the game But She was called out for doing more a lot she was called a snake constantly People always thought she was moving in ways that she wasn't always moving which is not to say of course that Nicole didn't play a good game

54:59But like there was a A slightly false perception that she had been more devious than she actually had been In the season Because of how often people suspected her of doing things and how often they called her out on doing things and so It's it's it's interesting that we might I guess I guess again have a situation like that but Uh, but but in this case I think much more Yeah, yeah, like you can honestly say Nicole played a good game for what we drew. I'm like I don't I don't I don't think I can say that yet I don't think of the things that I've seen it's been so ups and downs But good is not how I would describe Jews games as far Hmm Well, uh, then we get toward uh the end of the night here um at least toward the end of the night There's there's a couple of instances of this but there's one that happens first where uh, they're upstairs in the in the HOH room and it's Taylor Barrett drew in in melody

56:01and uh and melody and and Barrett They're in the bed together kind of cuddly meddling bear melody and Barrett uh and drew is Uh literally literally sitting in the chair You know the chair right next to the bed the chair chair The Chuck chair We're Chuck used to see it the Chuck the Chuck chair. Yeah, we're Chuck's at And he is I kid you not just kind of like staring at them Cuddling In the bed Did you Barrett have his sunglasses on at this point? I'm not sure actually I don't remember the reason I asked is because if Barrett is like Behind the sunglasses staring at me Like looking at him looking at their way yet It's very awkward. It's very awkward uh and eventually Melody leaves she's like called away or something

57:05And Taylor's talking with Barrett and drew Taylor explains how Devons is trying to get Yash to use the veto even though that would obviously mean that Barrett just puts her up on the block Right Barrett Right and Barrett's like well of course of course uh like Barrett like uh I did feel like she was Like the smallest bit testing the waters here and Barrett fully was like Ah-ha-ha. It's so funny for Devons to do that They're talking about Devons is like he basically is drunk Barrett says You know, I want to listen to Terence update on this day and have and see him explain that Devons was drunk on one glass of house wine I mean Terence you haven't talked about it. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. No, no Taylor doing this like Oh, yeah, cuz you would never you would never use the veto right and and put me up like that's you wouldn't do that She's doing this in front of Drulu Right Drew was right there. It should be clear. It's like I'm putting an emphasis on this that I don't think she like she was like

58:05Idiot drunk Devons is is is is talking to me Uh trying to get me to convince Yash to use the veto even though obviously I would be the replacement nominee not Drew Like what is he thinking? Yeah, but why are you saying this in front of Drew like if Drew's out of the room I think then we can really have a conversation about this right like So hypothetically bear it If you were to if Yash was to use the veto and would you put me up or did you have another option who was sitting in that chair over there that you could probably put up like I think if you're gonna push this where you push I don't think she intended to really push all that much. I guess is is my my answer to that. I think that like You know, it's uh It was much more so just kind of like look how funny this is she like it's so crazy the crazy Funny thing that happened this crazy crazy thing. I'm just like but Taylor if you do this when he's out the room Maybe we can maybe we can get his ass. Oh Yeah, uh well

59:06um Drew goes downstairs. He talks with Angela and D Angela is upset with Barrett. She feels like he's been avoiding her and hiding up in his H.O.H. Ramall week um And D says she thinks Barrett's gonna regret not nominating Yash Uh, she's now targeting Barrett over Yash Yash is the best player in the house, but he can't nominate them. So they're not gonna go after Yash um, and you know saying all this of course again in front of Drew Not the drew needs anymore incentive to go after Yash, but they they still believe the truth the one coming after them. So You know, but Drew goes back upstairs. They all hang out the new players hang out upstairs for a long long time hours and hours and hours and Melody's back in there and she's back on the bed with Barrett in front of Drew and They're still they like she's rubbing his arm. He's you know, putting his bearing his head like into her shoulder

1:00:09And Drew's just kind of watching them and then Drew eventually like also gets on the bed When Barrett leaves, but then Barrett comes back and then Barrett lays back on the bed and now Melody's laying between the two of them And you know, she's like laying on Drew's leg and she's like touching Barrett's arm and then Barrett turns over and Barrett's his head in her shoulder again and then at one point Barrett reaches over and touches Drew and Drew's like I don't like the vibe in this bed right now It's getting a little challenge. You see Uh, and Yash is like you guys talk about that movie too much, bro I They really do and and and I will I will have a problem with that right now too because y'all talk about it now be about it You and the bed y'all doing all this touching and now you want to you always a first one to be like Barrett What if we kiss devins open your bratty mouth, you know like he's always the one initial initial I think I saw that online maybe I didn't maybe maybe he didn't say that I don't know but you know, he's always

1:01:11I'm initiating this stuff. Yeah Yeah, he was like if if Drew's the only person I end up kissing in this house, uh, that would be wild He's always talking about it, but now y'all laid up like Beth Tyshane and uh and uh Jetson uh big brother can I and now you don't want a party now the vibes is off like hey How bad do you want to win this game? Do you lock in lock in okay? Cause Barrett is pushing you out Look look at this your girl is late the girl that zingba just told everybody as put you in the Friends zone is laid up with your buddy with your bestie and you just watching in the corner see They you know get yours in that bed and start cluddling back, you know, I'm saying like oh man Drew fight back This is bad gameplay put me on the on the roundtable again. Give it this man a one Yeah, somebody in the chat was like wait y'all she was there y'all and Taylor both in chairs And and the three of them they're on the bed doing all this

1:02:15um So It's a whole thing again this this last for hours. They're talking about all kinds of stuff Um that but the one they finally disperse it's like three a.m um Drew and Melody go downstairs to the bathroom um and he whispers in her ear Better pick me over Barrett And she goes you'd better pick me over Barrett Says you don't think I would just you don't think I would Says listen Melody you you're all I have Oh, please You're you're the only person I trust 100 at this point Uh, she's like all right, okay Um, and then they start walking away and he he whispers again kind of like Can you stop you stop with the flaring It's like you want me to It's actually kind of getting on my nerves now. It's like actually yeah, but like I mean unless it's for real But like I hope not

1:03:17Um Melody, you know, I'll give you a things you cooked a little bit but make no mistake make no mistake If I was Drew I flip all this shit over what what do you mean y'all gonna be laid up in front of me I'm gonna H.O.H. and I'm putting your ass on the block Yeah, I put sit up there next to each other y'all like each other so guy damn much damn So here damn have the block have the block busted together I let me see I take my whole game you playing in my face like this I gotta pull you to the side and beg you to stop flirting with my home boy When did Drew lock this down?
