BB28 Saturday Live Feed Update September 5, 2026

0:00Ever morning throwing on me Strder duck All the drama all the strategy Im silly is from Edo who okay Every single season You know is the reason you know what's happening. Rocks 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 5th. I'm your turn. I'm strong and I'm here today to update you on everything that happened yesterday. The Big Brother 28 live feeds. It was day 60 in the house. And oh boy, there was quite a lot.

1:08Quite a lot there. Quite a lot happening. Big stuff, house meetings, secrets revealed, all kinds of nonsense that we need to get to today. And with me to talk through it all, is a mon. How you doing, Mon? I'm great. Hello, everybody. Good morning. Yeah. House meetings, secrets revealed, secrets lied about, betrayals, backstabs, people still playing weirdly with more information when they might have been playing maybe better with less information, some shifts in different relationships that we're seeing. A lot of moving parts. And one way, I mean, I am mostly having fun with this because this is something that I've wanted to

2:09see happen for quite some time. I've been pretty hard on the person who is H.O.H. right now for a few weeks now. And this is, you know, I might take my nine inch heel off his neck just a little bit, but there is still so much at play that like there's still a lot of danger. So, you know, it's it's very interesting. So I'm excited to break it all down with you today. For sure. Yeah. And we are unfortunately still not up on YouTube. So we might have to restart this. So bear with us for a moment here. As this, you know, oh yeah, I'm seeing everyone's in the in the Twitch chat and stuff, like asking for the link. Small technical, excuse me, technical difficulties this morning, especially on such an eventful update. See the BB guys, take on do one thing. And even when we're

3:10having some good fees, we're going to be like, well, we don't want you guys to be able to talk about it. So, mess up your stuff real quick. So yes, okay, hold on. I think we might be, there we go. We go. Hold on. I think we're alive now on YouTube as well as the tech gurus. Hey YouTube, you did out. So, we apologize. Let's just make sure this is tweeted out to the people know that they can find it. And here we go. Listen, it's genuinely a big update here today. I apologize for the issues getting us live, but we're here now. And much we did out as well. Genuinely so much to talk about. And we need to get straight into it. Of course, Barrett is the H-O-H. And he is ready to go scorched earth. That is the plan.

4:12He wants to nominate all three icons. He says one of the three icons or Yash should be the person that leaves this week. As soon as Barrett won this H-O-H on Thursday, I tweeted out, I said, I think, I think some secrets could get revealed this week. And oh boy, is that happening? So let's just jump in. We started the day of course with Taylor and Melody, of course, as though that's a normal conversation to have. We started this the day with Taylor and Melody. They're on slightly different pages about who they would prefer to be targeted. Melody prefers Devons. Leave. Taylor prefers D-Leave. But really, as long as an icon goes, they're kind of fine. But obviously, Melody prefers Devons. Leave because Drew is too close to Devons. And without Devons as influence, Drew would be more easily with her and Barrett. And that would be great. Whereas

5:15Taylor would prefer D-Leave because she has a worse relationship with D. She has a, she at least had a decent relationship with Devons once upon a time. And Taylor also evocalizes another point that I had made on Thursday night, which is that because Drew is so close with players like Devons, you kind of need to make sure he goes up on the block at some point this week if there's a replacement nominee needed or even just initially. In Taylor's mind, Devons D and Drew are great nominations because Drew is too likely to win the Vito and use it on one of the nominees. And Taylor knows that the replacement at that point likely would be Yash, which is not her preference, especially with Drew and an icon off the block. Yash could very well go home. So in her mind, Drew on the block with Devons and D makes a lot more sense. Angela's a lot less likely to win a Vito and use it. And she's not wrong about any of that. There is

6:20like a decent chance that some of those things could happen. Drew very much does want Yash to leave. And he's already, or he will already be talking to Barrett about, hey, can I use the Vito? So she's thinking about this. She wants to pitch it. She wants Melody to help her pitch it. Melody doesn't think that Barrett will do it, but she does agree to help pitch it. And she actually kind of does a little bit later. So it's not a bad idea, but we'll see if it happens. Yeah, I mean, here we, I mean, there's so much dialogue in the house from the Vets and from a few other people over the course of the season that Taylor does nothing. All she does is sit in her bod. And she won't be shy about the fact that she does. In fact, we'll hear it once on today's update that she's not shy about the fact that she does, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't know what's going on. And it doesn't mean that she doesn't know strategy and understand what decisions should be made given the scenario. She's very tapped in not only to how she feels about other players

7:22in the house, but how other players feel about each other and where they stand with one another. And what weaknesses and cracks there are. So this pitch definitely not a bad idea, because if the ultimate goal is to get one of the icons out of the house, you need to make that the best option for that moving forward is taking away as many of their votes and putting as many of them up as possible. And that means two vets and one person that would vote for them so that no matter what happens, their placement nominee is still going to be a vet. So, you know, good on Taylor, good on melody for hearing this out. And even if it's, you know, her little flat-man, show man, snowman, whatever the hell we want to call it, you know, it's still a good idea. So good for them. Yes. So then we get to Barrett's HOH meetings. And we'll kind of cycle through them here, because they all kind of culminate in, again, quite the day here. He starts with Devons,

8:25and he's pretty open about hinting that something's off. Something was off with Dean Angela last week. He implies that Yash is still potentially his primary target, but he does say to Devons like, I'm not nominating Melody. Because for the crossover's perspective, there's exactly three people he can nominate if he's not going to nominate a crossover, Melody Taylor and Yash. So his target can still be Yash, but whether or not he's going to nominate Melody is another question. And when Barrett says I'm not nominating Melody, he is telling Devons that he will be nominating one of the crossovers, and it's not going to be Drew either. So it's going to be one of the icons. Now this is what, especially D and Angela are particularly concerned about. Dean Angela are under the assumption that Barrett might pull a fast one on them, because they believe, and it's funny that they believe

9:26this, but they believe that Devons Drew and Barrett are locked in as a final three, which they kind of are, but not newly to the degree that they think they are. So in their minds, they're like, oh, Devons and Barrett and Drew are all up there conspiring. They're going to use Angela as upon instead of Melody because they control Melody as one of their pieces, and they're going to put Angela in the line of fire. And to prevent them from doing this, they might reveal some secrets about Yash and about how Devons has a deal with Yash as well, right? Like this is as much to drop info on Yash as it is to drop info on Devons to get them to not trust Devons because they believe Devons is part of the put Angela on the block as upon conspiracy. Now from Devons is point of view, of course, he's just working with the crossovers and he's like, oh, wow, okay, so you're not putting up Melody. Okay. All right. I understand. I get it. Like I'm going to have to stomach a vet being

10:33used as upon, I guess is kind of the idea there. Then the conversations continue. Barrett talks to Taylor. She pitches the Drew idea, but Barrett's not really biting. And then D comes in. And he's, you know, he's like, listen, I'm going to need to be selfish on this H.O.H.D. And this isn't surprising to D. She's like, ah, he's going to have to be selfish. He's going to put Angela on the block. I knew it. He's like, you know, you were selfish on your H.O.H. And she's like, yeah, yeah, I get it. She says, well, listen, I will tell you one thing though, Barrett. Yash should probably go up for your game because there's a lot less people left. And not only can he not put me up, he also can't put Angela or Devons up either. Wait, what do you mean? He can't put the three of us up. It's not just me. We were all in the room

11:33when it happened. I don't understand how that works. With Devons and Angela, you're like going by his word. No, it's binding. What? You know how I told you he can't put me up. He can't put them up either. It's binding. What is this power to not just three people up? Yeah. If it's part of the deal. Damn, that's crazy. Yeah. I mean, that's good to know though. I'll be though a little upsetting to know. I guess there's nothing I can do about that though. So when you told Devons in the room that you bribed Yash, he was just acting. Yeah. Okay. Please, please don't tell anyone, you know, I'm sorry. Oh, I do love you, Barrett. Okay. I mean, look, I mean, it's, it's, the first attempt of the Hail Mary, right? This is Hail Mary Part One, the soft launch of the bribe

12:40to which it still kind of feels like there are nebulous parts to this bribe that aren't necessarily quite clear because production, which typically has no qualms with turning on that loud speaker and be like, you can't, they didn't really have a lot to say yesterday. So it leaves a lot of confusion, open in the air, which I'm sure we'll get to later. But, you know, I like, I can understand on both sides why Barrett would feel like kind of like this power seems kind of unorthodox. It doesn't make much sense given the fact that it seems a little OP. But then to that, I say, it's not that out of the ordinary because we've seen vets get kind of this kind of power all the time. I mean, can we go back to 2019, or 2019, and look at Paul getting friendship bristles is basically him saying, you can't put me up and you can't put any of these people up. So, you know, it,

13:42it shouldn't be too surprising to him. But one thing that he does mention later is that it's like, well, isn't this kind of affirming what I was thinking anyway about the three of y'all. So, hey, yeah, she starts crying to him. They, they like, okay, wow, I love you too. So on and so forth, the conversation ends. Now, again, from D's perspective, this is yes to get y'all sh on the block, but also to throw a wrench in the trust between Barrett and Devons, which doesn't actually exist, but she thinks she's throwing Devons under the bus here and that whole like, well, Devons was play acting that whole time. Yes, yes, he was. And so that's like her move and that's what she's saying. Don't tell me when she doesn't want Devons to know that she's she's done this. So then he asks D to send Drew up, Drew comes up, and Drew's like, listen, Barrett, I'm willing to

14:43back you no matter what you do here. I'm good. He, Barrett's like, that's great. He's like, I'm like, I almost wear my flame, wore my flame shirt today because I'm ready to go scorched her. And, and there's a few of these instances throughout the day where like Drew can tell that Barrett is being a little more open. And so he's like tossing these questions in. And so he asks, so would you have kept would you have kept Devons last week? Barrett's like, no. So I put him in danger, huh? Yeah. Okay. All right. Wow. I mean, I get it. I get it. And he says, well, listen, I think that Devons might actually have our bags. If we have a choice between who we would send home, I really think D should be the target. And really like, is they're not a world where, you know, you save the relationship that we have with Devons? You keep

15:47him off the block. You put Yash on the block with Angela and D. And Barrett's like, I mean, I'm considering that too. I do think that's an option. Yeah. And really like Drew just keeps bringing it back to Devons and how he thinks they can still work with him and how he thinks that they should make sure that Devons stays this week and D or even maybe Yash leave instead. And in response to this, Barrett's like, well, listen, I just found out some interesting shit. But I'm not sure if D is lying about it. Now, I'm live at this point on my Patreon. I'm excited for them to find out this information because it's very interesting information. And it's interesting to think about what they might do with it. And I'm like, okay, here we go. He's about to tell Drew. And he does. He says, D said, Angela and Devons were included in the deal.

16:48But I think she's lying. Now, at this point, I believe that D cannot lie about this. I believe that that's an obvious rule. And I'm like, Barrett, what do you mean you think she's lying? Obviously she can't lie. And she's basically said as much. But he believes she's lying. Now, there's also the fact that there's this is twofold. Number one, she's not lying. So what do you mean you don't believe her? Number two, she can't lie. Right? Charlie. And Drew's like, okay, well, that's weird. I wonder if she is lying. I mean, I can't, isn't she not allowed to lie? And he's like, I don't know. And because Barrett's thing is, it's not that he believes that D is lying because he's like, I gotta tell from D. It's like,

17:51that power is so ridiculous. Who would believe it? Yeah. Exactly why you're not allowed to lie about powers because you can't just make shit up. And when you have the backing of a power. So they're like, okay, well, I guess we don't really believe this. And Drew's like, all right, well, either way, I guess we're still down to do this. And I'm just so disappointed in this. I'm like, well, this will come out in the wash. They'll go in and they'll talk to the diary, room producer, and they'll ask for clarification on the rule. And they'll tell them, no, D's actually not allowed to lie. And then they'll know the truth. And then we'll get the conversation about what this means for them. Okay, that's what will happen. Yeah. Yeah, I think we all thought that. And again, like I was saying before, I, because I mean, there's anyone that should understand the rules about production more so that maybe anyone

18:57besides the people that have been on CBS shows before, it wouldn't be Barrett because he has such a super fan and we've seen time and time again about how these players get admonished for trying to use production as a strategy or trying to twist some of the mechanics of the game in their favor. And it gets thwarted almost every single time. So it is, it is interesting. I think it's just that thing where he just doesn't want to believe it. Even if he thinks that it's so could be true because this is finally your week. This is your age to wait. You're putting, you want to put up all three icons. One of them's going to go. You're changing the the ties of the game. And now all of a sudden, there is one power that was used on that has nothing to do with me that is still messing this up for me. Like that can't, that just doesn't compute. It doesn't make sense. But yeah, this is like, this has always been such a confusing thing for, for fans. I, it's one of the most commonly asked questions of me and I'm constantly trying to explain it

20:04because there is a logic to the idea that you're not allowed to lie about a production power because production, the fact that you have a power can be backed is, is information that is theoretically backed up by production. Right? Like, D, having the power, nobody else is claiming they have it. D didn't come out with a punishment. D almost certainly has a power. Production has has aided the claim that D has a power. Right? Therefore, she can't use that aided production benefit to then lie about what the power does or what she's able to do with the power or what she gets from the power because theoretically production would be aiding her in that lie by allowing her to have a power. Survivor circumvents this by having the slip of paper with the rules, an official slip of paper with the rules of what how, what and how it works. And so if you claim that you have something that goes until whenever it, whenever you want, like when Tony claimed that his

21:08superride elastied until the final four instead of the final five or whatever, if you want, you can just be like, well, let's see the paper. And then if they're like, well, I don't have the paper. And it's like, oh, see you're lying, man. So you're lying, man. Which is a much more elegant solution because there's a physical object. And it really, like, it allows you to bluff in a way that is like much more in game, right? Right? You can bluff if they don't think to ask about the paper or if you wait until the tribal council you do it last minute, like, hey, I've got this thing and then they don't think to ask to look at the paper. Then you've managed to successfully bluff somebody. And it's all on camera, right? Like you're seeing them all play like, let me see the paper. You get that you then get to read. They're reading the paper. And now they know all the bluff has been called. Whereas this like you can't, you can't use production as a strategy. It's so nebulous. It's so like, well, I'm not allowed to lie, but I'm, but you are allowed to lie and you can lie about this,

22:11but I can't lie about this. Oh, wait, is that true? I don't understand this. We have to go. You can lie about having a power, but you can't lie about what the power actually is if you have the power or if you don't have it's like, and all of these conversations are like, how do you even include them in the show? Because they're all just not talking about whether or not they believe each other. They're talking about what is allowed and what is not allowed via the rules from production. And it's, and like again, it's Barrett's not saying, I don't believe D because I think she's a liar. He's saying, I don't believe D because that power is far too powerful. There's no way that it exists as a power. And so we're, I'm talking about all this because it becomes very, very relevant as we move forward in the story here. Now Drew is going to leave the conversation with Barrett and he goes and he talks to Devons. He says to Devons that he thinks Devons should be good, but D and Angela, I don't know. And Devons is like, I've been thinking, you know, I didn't really

23:15know what to say with him, to say to him in that room. But now I'm thinking like, I really think this is a mistake. I don't think he should be putting the vets on the block. I think he's going to burn bridges. I think the best chance for finger guns to get to the end is to just stick with crossovers. I need to talk to Barrett again. So that's what he plans to do. And the meantime, Angela goes up and talks to Barrett and she just puts on her happy face. I'm just so happy that the five of us have made it here and obviously you're going to do the right thing with the five of us, right? And everything's going to be fine. And Barrett obviously recognizes what this is. He's going to talk to everybody about it later, like how silly it is that like Angela is continuing to act like she can trick him into thinking that he thinks he trusts him. He says that their acting is good for a nonfiction movie. All of that. Melody comes in and they talk about trying about Drew. Barrett tells Melody about

24:22how Drew is trying to protect Devons in their conversation. And she's like, that's so annoying, bro. I'd like he literally thinks he's his father, like not a bad way. He's like a father figure whatever. But like in the game, it's like dude. And so she does end up suggesting like maybe he needs to be the Renoam, because I don't know what he's going to do is what he's going to do with the veto. Like he's got to pick a side, bro. And Barrett says, you know, Malarie's eviction changed everything for me in this game and really set me on this path. And Drew ends up joining them in the conversation. He says he's down for scorched earth. And Melody's like, are you though? He's like, what do you not believe me? He's like, I don't know. I believe you. Drew doesn't even believe himself. Drew is down for anything. Okay, anything. He

25:22will say one thing one minute and then go ahead and tell somebody else the same thing or reveal something that somebody else said to him two seconds ago. Like it's and it's like in a way like Drew is like in this like weird, smart, me survival mode. I get it. But like you've only you have no one to blame but yourself for putting yourself in the position of where you are forced to be down for whatever down for the red scorched crossovers. Like it's it's it's starting to feel like it's just there's just no word for him to go. But we digress whatever. Well, Devons is now outside in the backyard. He's still thinking about like how he's going to approach Barrett again and and Angela's out there. And this is a this is a whole scene. So bear with me. He just asked Angela, oh, hey, how'd your chat go with Barrett? Why would it go any other way?

26:32It shouldn't go any other way. I don't know what that means. Well, we're together. What's the problem? There should be no problem, right? Now again, just to just to remember, Angela believes that she might go on the block as a pawn because of Devons. And so she's trying to act like she trusts in the Alliance completely so that it would be a pure betrayal that it was not her fault that Devons is doing this to her. So he goes, so it went good. Why wouldn't it? I'm just asking if it went well. Yeah. Okay. I wouldn't expect it to go any other way. Good. Good. You know, and I hated that you volunteered last week, but you know, it had me really upset. But I don't feel that way now because like you're off, you're here. He has three to pick from. It should be easy.

27:38It should be. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not worried. Good. Sounds great. This is the beginning of a divorce. You didn't feel like you had to do a temperature check, did you? Huh? You didn't feel like you had to do a temperature check, did you? Yeah, I just didn't know where his mind was at. Well, I don't feel that way. Just like when you won, I didn't ask you anything. I didn't feel that way. When D won, I didn't ask anything. When drew one, I didn't ask anything. Why would I want Barrett? Why would I want to ask Barrett anything? I never did. I never did any kind of temperature check with any of you because we're together. I feel like you're putting it on way strong right now. I'm just like, of course,

28:39we check in with each other all the time. All week last week, you thought he was going to turn on me. So I thought you'd have a conversation with him for sure. No, it wasn't necessarily that he was going to do it. It was more or less of how many days were in between and, you know, and I was just asking silence for a little while. Silence, awkward silence. And plus, Devon's, you know, truth, the truth be told, he wouldn't know how much I worried unless you or D told him, which I know you didn't, so I'm not worried about it, but he would be none the wiser. None the wiser. And he's just like, uh-huh. And then hold on. They both nod at each other and she just burys her face in the-

29:44And she's like that for a while. He gets up. He's like, I'm just going to find some shade. And he goes- and he lays behind the couch on the other side of the backyard, mumbling to himself. Psycho. My god. Funetic. You are difficult to work with Angela. Why would I be worried? It just like they give it back. Did you forget you just told me that? Or are you just a crazy person? I was just trying to ask a question. I just can't. Why would you be worried at all? What is- And then a bird starts to show like flying up near the cameras. He starts talking with the bird. Like, I don't know what to do, bird. I don't- I miss Christian and Emily. I don't know how to work with these people.

30:44Um- This is a guilt trip that nobody bought tickets for- from Angela. It's an interesting guarded tactic to throw all of this blame on to devins for something that's not really happening when what you really could just be doing is doing what you said that you weren't doing when you were actually doing it all these weeks prior and just check in and talk and things could probably be sorted out fairly quickly. But this is the Angela that CBS wanted and what CBS wants they're going to get because this was crazy. This was absolutely bonkers but incredibly fun to watch.

31:46Um- And I get it from devins because like there really is nowhere to go because she's like this conversation was just nothing but like emotional landmines that she kept leaving. So no matter what his response was going to be, it was going to be the wrong answer or the wrong reaction. So yeah, there really is nothing else to do but go doctor to the little and talk to that bird, honey. Go tweet, tweet, tweet to that bird. I'm sure that bird has been watching with the birds I view and seeing everything. So the bird notes, they know all. Yeah. So devins obviously not pleased with this interaction. Angela also not pleased with this interaction. She's going to complain to D about devins. How dare he? How dare he? She's ready to go nuclear on him if he comes after her meaning she goes up on the block. This is all devins is fault. She goes on a whole rant to D. But in the meantime, devins checks

32:47in with Barrett again. This time in the kitchen. And he's like, so any chance your finger guns is strong. You don't like that. And Barrett's like, there's a chance. You know, but I don't know that I'm like, crawls over his trunk. Devins is like, I just listen, I just don't understand the thought process because in my mind, the best chance for finger guns and he can't do the action because they're in the kitchen and they're on camera by the spy camp. So he just calls it finger guns here. Best chance for finger guns is keeping crossovers and not burning bridges. And Barrett's like, dude, you all got the first day to age, the powers, the safety stones. Like, I need to think about all that and think about my own game and start like making my own decisions and my own moves. And devins like, so, so like, what are you thinking? It's like,

33:51I'm thinking the three of you or two of you in Yash. He's like, two of me in Yash? No, it wouldn't be you with Yash. Well, obviously, I prefer that one. You're still really thinking about that. He's like, he's like, I'm genuinely still thinking about it, devins. And he's like, all right, well, you should give me a heads up before and he's like, honestly, consider this your heads up. Okay. All right. And that's a rule too, right? Now that we're talking about production and all this, like the H-O-H is not supposed to tell you they're nominating you, that's a rule, right? Yes, technically. But nobody follows it because it makes no sense. Angela then grabs Barrett. She pulls him into the gym. She says,

34:53now she's come up with a whole scheme here because again, her whole thing is I'm not worried at all. So she comes up, she says, I'm not even worried. And I wasn't even going to talk to you again, except devins made me worried. He's freaking me out. And so that's why I'm talking to you. Okay. So like devins is doing all this stuff and it's just like, what is he, why is he even saying all these things to me? He was like, in the backyard and he was like, how'd your conversation go? He's like, it went fine. Why wouldn't it go fine? He's trying to make me worry. So, am I an option? That's like, yes. Why? I have to make moves for myself in this game and listen, y'all have such a great chance to win. You're all such great players in your own way. I just feel like, so really, really me, devins is one like three things.

35:56And so I'm a bigger threat than devins. You're saying I'm a bigger threat than devins. No, I didn't say that. Nobody is saying that. You are saying that, Barrett. You are saying that. You're saying I'm a bigger threat than devins by putting me up. Because remember, she thinks she's the one going up. It's like, well, devins would be in consideration too. If you're going to break up this alliance of five and you're worried about the three of us I'm the big threat. I didn't say you're the bigger threat, but I do think you're a block of three that makes sense to go up together. All three of us are going up? Well, I can't say that, but I am considering all three of you, yes. Well, I think you'd better think about that a little more closer.

37:04Because I think you should. I just, wow, I didn't think you would do this. I didn't think that this would happen now. Listen, I just, I don't know what I'm going to have a chance to make a move in this game again, you know? Wow. I just hope you don't take any of this personally. What I do, I do though, I do. I'm sorry. Because you're going back on your word and we were in this together. He goes on to say that she's good at this game. She says, no, I'm not. Just like give yourself some credit. Come on. You're so, it's so, it's so stupid. And it's like, I get it. It's like you guys have been in this since the beginning. You've gotten all these powers as, you know, Barrett has laid out for devins.

38:04And so you're sitting in this really, really warm and fuzzy cocoon of safety. Even though you've been on the block and now you're feeling extra vamped up about your game, because you were able to win a blockbuster for yourself. So it doesn't feel like you've just been sitting around doing nothing. It feels like you've played the best game of all time. And to Angela's credit, I would say that her BB28 showing is a little better than BB26. I would say that there are some improvements to Angela's game. There have been so many times where she could have get went full blown Angela. And she was mostly calm. So I'm not going to sit here and try to say that Angela doesn't, you know, hasn't improved. But it's just like girl, no one's ever going to fall for this, this, this wounded bird, this like I'm not, I'm not, you guys are going to win over it. Like it can't work that way. That's not even fair. It's a little me. Yes, little old you, little old you.

39:04I'm the threat of mon. You are, you are. Really? You are. You are the threat of authorets. You are queen threat the third. So Angela now knows the truth. Now the funny thing about this is for as much of the reaction as she did have when she found out that all three vets were going up in the block. She actually prefers this. It actually made her feel a little bit better that all three of them were going up and it wasn't just her. So she goes and she tells D all three of us are going up. Yeah, she's so good for Barrett. She's going to put all three of us up. He's breaking the alliance. He's like, yeah, well, well, I guess Yasha is going to win this game. You know, I mean, good for D. Because it is much more, it's better to have this kind of response

40:15and to be level headed about it and to be thinking about, okay, like, so what do I need to do now? Then to be doing what Angela is doing, even this kind of works out for Angela because, you know, reasons, which we'll get into later, but it's just, I admire that. I admire that and I admire how she responds, ask her words about everything too because it just shows adaptability and it shows that you're willing to say face, which, you know, maybe it's a little bit too late in the game for anybody to really fall for that kind of thing, but it's better to do that than to blow up. So yeah, I found it really interesting because D and Devon seem so opposite in how they respond to things. Devons all season has been so like, I made the move, but it's nothing personal, totally separate personal from game, no hard feelings. But then like, when it starts to get

41:18toward the edges, right, when it starts to get a closer, like a bigger, like long term thing, it's like, oh, well, I'm never going to vote for you in the final two. I'm going to hate you forever. Whereas D is like every little thing is like, how dare they? I am the one in charge, not them. But then when it's like, when push comes to shove and it's like, at the end of the day, she's like, ah, good for them. I'm still going to vote for Devon's even if he turns on me. I'm still going to vote for Barrett if he does this. And so they really like their opposite ends and they like pass each other in the night when it comes to the different reactions of how things go here. So Devons goes and he talks to Drew. He tells Drew about his conversation with Barrett. He's still trying to act as cool as possible. He's like, at least, hopefully he keeps me safe and Yash goes up and we can move forward with finger guns, even if an icon has to take a hit.

42:22And Drew's like, yeah, I'm really annoyed that like Yash comes out ahead in all of this. And then Devons goes and talks to Dee. And this whole time like Taylor and Yash are upstairs again and like they're hanging out with Barrett and Yash is like, hey, they're not going to bother you as long as we're up here. So don't worry about it. And what is wrong with you? Devons goes to Dee. He says, hey Dee, at what point do we bring up that Yash can't put any of this up? Dee's like, he did it. No, she doesn't say that. She just wow, whenever. And he's like, while Yash is up there with him right now, I mean, it'll be fun to just go up there and do it with him in the room. Fuck it. Yeah, let's do it. And then Angela shows up. They're like, hey, you down. We're going to go up and expose the Yash bribe. And she's like, all right, sure. And just like that, all of the little cracks in the Vets Alliance have been

43:22have been patched up. They're a team again. And the three of them head upstairs together into the HOH room and Barrett's there. Yash is there. Melody is there. Drew is there. Everyone is there except for Taylor. In fact, Drew goes, is this everyone except for Taylor? Wow. And Devons says, listen, you may already know this. But we thought you should know so you could make an informed decision about denominations here. We just want you to know that if Yash wins next week, none of us are going up. Embarrass is pretending like this is the first time he's hearing about, wait, what? The 5K deal is for any icon. If he wins, none of us are going up. And then Barrett again, continuing to what the hell kind of power is this shit? Yash. Care to confirm. And this is where things get weird. Yeah. Yash says,

44:32now, I'm going to deal with D now with them. Wait, what? He's like, no, the power is mine. I can confirm it's with all three. It's binding. I can't lie about it. Taylor ends up joining the conversation as it continues. But we need to sort of unpack this a little bit, right? Now, at this point in time, I'm like, okay, theoretically, it is D's power. She can't lie about it. But it's not Yash's power. So Yash can lie about it all he wants. It's a fool's errand because this is something that is backed by production. D cannot lie. Therefore, D will be believed and he's lying with, with, and in a fruitless way. He's, he has to be caught as long as they ask production in the diary room. They'll know that D can't lie. And therefore, what are you doing, Yash? And you might be allowed to lie, but why would you bother? And it's very

45:36clear that D believes that she cannot lie about this because she very carefully told the, when she was said that it was, when she said that she was safe, she was very careful to not say it was only her that was part of the whole thing that she was only omitting information, not actively lying about it. And she comes into this conversation fully believing as long as I say this, they have to believe me because I cannot lie about this. She fully believes this. And she's saying it out loud. And when D says I cannot lie about this, that's using production as a strategy if it's not true. So she would be shut down shortly if this weren't the case. And so Yash is surely just dead in the water here. Why would he even bother lying? Because if D is saying I can't lie, that is using production as a strategy if it's not true. And so this is going to be backed up by production, but Yash is trying. And to me, it feels like, okay, clearly this was Yash's plan was to deny it

46:43and say it was only good for D, not realizing that you can't, that D can't lie about it. So he lies. And he says, I made a binding deal with D, the other two, Mickey Mouse. They weren't binding. And Tevans is like, that's just not true. D can't lie about it. I mean, listen, you guys can wait till he wins and see, but it's binding. He can't put us up. So be clear, we're telling on ourselves, but next week I can put up whoever I want. He has to put three of you up. And this is the truth. And this is the truth. And just to be clear, this is not Yash misunderstanding. Yash fully knows that he's lying. Yash fully knows the true details of the bribe. He said it in the diorium and he'll say it later tonight. So don't worry about that. And so Angela's like, yeah. And since since that's done, just being truthful, we've been working in an alliance since day two

47:49with these two boys. And we this was never to hurt either of you just to let you know, you know, I would have helped keep all of us from being on the block. So, you know, it was really to help protect you guys too. And and and Devons is like, oh, yeah. Well, I guess if we're just airing everything out, he, Yash was trying to get rid of you Taylor last night. Pretty openly, he was trying to keep Lala because she was a better competitor, by the way. Any other secrets? And Yash, Yash starts to deny the Taylor thing. He's like, that didn't and then they all say, oh, come on now. Come on. You're you are. And then Drew's like, yeah, she were literally on the couch asking people if they were willing to keep Lala. I was the biggest liar in the house, but you can take that title. And Yash is, okay, I entertain the conversation for sure. I entertained it. And and and then Barrett. Barrett, please go to the diorium and they all burst out laughing because that means that

48:51Nams are about to start. Now, what's wild is that in this conversation, Yash does try to lie about the bribe when he barely tries. Like he literally, he's just laying there like, no, that's not how I want. And then as the as they're as they're talking, he's literally like smirking. He's like, and like not not bothering to be like, that's a lie. This isn't true. This is the deal I may. He's literally just like, and then when they come to him, he like puts a serious face on what? No, that's not, that's not what it was. Yeah, it's the the non-shelon strategy where it's like, I don't want to appear overly emotional or overly invested because then that might make me feel like I am lying. It reminded me so much of the week in BB 20 where Fessie wins HOH and they try to level six comes up with a lie about Scotty trying to get them out and Scotty like, he's

49:56doing animated that entire season, but the minute he's confronted with a lie, which is was a lie. He's just like, yeah, that's cute. And I'm like, can we we need we need some fire here? We need we need a little something more because your ass is really getting chopped right now, really getting chopped like, yeah. And I mean like, here's the thing, we've talked about this a lot on the podcast, like because these situations do come up on Big Brother. And it's always a it's usually a pretty similar thing that like, usually, and it's not it's not always, but usually if you're telling the truth, you get pretty incensed by the idea that you're like, because like you believe you are backed up by the truth. And it's usually like, are you seriously trying to lie about this? Like, are you what do you mean? In the same way that like the entire like the second he tried to lie about the Taylor thing, the entire rest of the room was like, come on, we all know that like

50:57when you when somebody's lying about something directly to your face, it tends to get you pretty riled up. And so and but not always not always. So they all break up and Yash stays in the room with Taylor. And Taylor is now her. The Yash was maybe trying to get him out. And she's also wondering what's happening with this bribe situation. And in my opinion, it's pretty clear that Taylor knows that Yash is lying because it wasn't that hard to see if you actually everybody else, everybody else, Barrett in particular, Barrett's thinking about production. This power makes no sense. What are the rules? Is D allowed to lie about it? Is D not allowed to lie about it? Barrett's barely talking to Yash to try to see whether or not Yash is lying. He's mostly focused on production. But Taylor was focused on Yash. And she was like, this guy's lying. This guy's so clearly lying.

52:04So she asks him like, what's going on? And he lies again. He says, I made a deal with D, not with them. It's binding with D. It's not binding with them. And she's pretty clearly upset and should be Yash is her only true ally left in the game. And it's like, this is unfortunate. And things just get really awkward and silent for a while. She puts on her shades. And they just sit there not talking for like 10 minutes. No talking. And then she just gets up and leaves. Like I'm pretty sure Yash has his eyes closed as well. Like, they're just. Yeah, this is this was so bad. And I mean, so many people were calling it last week when he was trying to get, you know, testing the waters to see if they could get Taylor out of there because he's so much more focused on keeping people that he thinks can win. Because he knows

53:06why he can't be the one that always has to win. And that just gives more ammo to Taylor to not want to believe him because it's like, I mean, she knows that she's not gaining competition. So it only makes too much sense. If what D is saying is true and that you can't put them up and you need someone else to win to put them up. And you think I can't win. Well, it only makes sense that you would try to get rid of me last week. And it's just so it's like two, it's two lies that reveals such a horrible truth for her. And it's like your number one ally wanted to get rid of you because they don't they just don't have much faith in you as an ally. And they weren't telling you about powers that they had in the game. And it's just it's just such a hard part of a mess. And I just wish that Yash in the moment, and it's hard because when you're in the moment, you have all these people looking at you because it was like literally most of them on one side of the room and Yacht is the only one on the other side on the couch. Like looking at you being like, yeah, yeah, we got you, bro, it can be hard to to know what the best response can be. But I just wish

54:09that he had just been like, yeah, I had to because D threatened to put me on the block if I didn't. And that gives you so much more room to breathe because it's like, is it an unfortunate truth? Yes, but it's also what you had to do for your game. You had no choice. It's either take the bribe, take the safety from the icons that are very much a three and are pressing the house right now or go on the block and very well go home. So, oh, man, it was just it was so it was such a tense moment. And for it to be broken up, they're going downstairs up just like, whoo, or fix a Jesus. But I was glued to the species. He was going to happen when the feeds came back. So I mean, my main thing here is that like obviously there is incentive for Yash to lie. The truth is very damning for him. But he can't, right? That my thought process is my understanding of the rules is that he can't

55:11get away with this because D can't lie. She's saying she can't lie. Production is not saying she can't say that she can't lie. Therefore, she can't lie. And he can't get away with this. So like why even bother? That's my thought process at that time at least. Now, in the meantime, D and Devons are down in the out in the back yard. They're continuing to elaborate on the bribe situation to drew in melody. Melody's pretty pissed off about the whole situation. And then the feeds finally go down for nominations. When they come back up, we're still mid-nomination ceremony. Angela D and Devons have been put on the block. And it's going on. Angela says, I'm not taking any of your shit, Yash. No, sir. I have, I've dealt with teenagers all this time. And Yash is like, okay, you need a cookie?

56:13She says, no, but you might need one to put in your mouth to stop the lies from coming out. You need to, you need to chew instead of lie and talk. Yeah, nice for a bottle. Okay. Devons says, Barry, you do look like Cookie Monster. And then Barry says, this nomination ceremony is adjourned. I was dying because I thought that it already been done. So of course, it seems as though there was quite a confrontation between Yash and Angela. A funny part of this is that apparently Yash said, Angela, there's no love loss here. And I mean that. And Angela sort of believes seems according to, in the conversation that they had, seems to have believed that that meant that there was no love to lose and got very upset about it. And so they had to sort of like clear that up and

57:16apologize to each other much later in the night. There's another misunderstanding. Which do we have here? Angela, is that with that? Isn't that how that usually is used? Like if someone, you know, I thought people would usually say that, like if somebody that they never really cared for walks out of their life, they usually are saying there's no love loss. The people don't usually use that in a way that is like good, right? Or am I misinterpreting that myself? That's right. Yeah, I mean, I think it's, I don't think you often say it directly to a person. That's true. Right. That's true. I think you usually like, there's no love loss between those two when they hate each other, right? Yeah. But you don't usually say like, hey, there's no love loss here. Yeah. He probably shouldn't have. You know, Angela, I still love you and just left it at that. Like a work, we're still good. You know, at least I am. I don't know about you, but there's another misunderstanding later in the night where Taylor thinks that Angela has overheard

58:20Angela talking about her, like being a self sabotaging player and all this stuff. But it turns out Angela was actually just talking about herself to herself and so they also have to kind of clear that up. Yeah. But nonetheless, we have to talk more about this yash situation. Drew believes that the vets are telling the truth and that yash is lying. He thinks yash is lying. Again, I'm going to tell you that Taylor hasn't said it yet, but she also believes that yash is lying. Melody seems to be more on the side of yash is lying. But Barrett's, again, very focused on the production angle of this. He talks to Drew and he says, well, Dee can't lie about the power, but she can lie about what the power was used for. So I think the vets are lying. And he says it with such confidence, I was live during this as well, that I was like,

59:27it sounds like he asked production and they told him this. And I can tell you that he confirms this later. He says that it was verified to him that Dee cannot lie about the power, but she can lie about the use of the power. And therefore Dee can lie. Therefore, yash does have wiggle room to try to lie about it. The problem is, why is Dee believing that she can't lie, saying so and not being called out or told by production, you actually can lie. And it's just, it's just getting so convoluted. That doesn't make sense. Production, get your shit together here. What are we doing? We really, like if it has gotten to the point where in the past, it's been not that big of an issue because there aren't that many of these things to deal with.

1:00:29But if you're going to have all of these secret powers with all of these complicated rules, we really need just a fully written out thing. We just, we need a clear set of rules that are not so ambiguous that you can't just kind of like willy-nilly. Like you can lie about this, but you can't lie about this. What is the logic behind it? We don't even know. And none of it can be properly explained or talked about on the episodes because you don't talk about production on the episodes all that much. So we're going to have to get some like water down explanation in the, in the episode from somebody in the diary room like, well, you can do this, but you can't do this. And why? Because who gives a shit? It's just like, what are we doing here? This, please, we need, we still don't even know what happens if D gets evicted. We don't know for sure what happens if Yasha's in the final three and that counts as an HOH like, it's starting to get very annoying. I like this power in concept, I like this power in terms of like, it's introducing a whole bunch

1:01:34of interesting variables in the game that like Yasha can't nominate these three people. But like, this is getting too red tapy. Like we need to know the clear rules of like, who's allowed to say what? You know, like, that's stupid. That, that, this part of it is stupid. I always thought that like, and I couldn't be wrong, but I always thought like in the past, when it came to stuff like this, it was like, you simply just cannot lie. It was, it was as simple as you cannot use production as a strategy. If you have something, you have to be honest about what it is. You have to be honest about what it does. Like, you can't, you can't, while the of a sudden can you, so he can, she can't lie that it is a bribe, but she can lie about what the bribe was. Aren't they kind of one of the same? Like, right. It's clear that Barrett believes that the power can't operate like this, but it can. And D's saying that it can, and production is

1:02:34saying, well, she can lie about what it does. But since when can you lie about what it does? Like, it's, it's, it's all one way. Oh, man. Yeah. I, I, I don't know. I don't know. I, I honestly do think that, you know, your suspicions are correct. Most people's suspicions are correct is that they kind of just, they don't know either. They're kind of making it up as they go. They're trying to see like, they kind of like that it's causing all of this conversation and stuff on the feeds, especially like so late in the season when things start to slow down, I think that they like that the house guests are having an issue with it. And so they're trying to figure out how to keep this engine going. But it's only going to make it even more confusing for you guys to put it in the show because, like, let's face it, you guys are already confused about what to put in the show. Half the time. So it's just going to be really interesting to see what they do with this.

1:03:34Um, but more power to oh my god. Oh no, less power to y'all. What are you all doing? I just, I think, I think that what they should do is just for the Afro all these powers, introduce a physical object or thing or pay for. She doesn't have the slip. She doesn't have the slip. Yasha doesn't have the coin. It's all given back to production. Um, so like, I think that they should that like devins should have to have a diamond power or veto with a slip of paper that explains exactly what the diamond power veto doesn't exactly wanted expires and he should have to hide that shit. Uh, and so nobody finds it. Um, and I think that if Yasha is going to sign a contract with a bribe, there should be a physical scroll that he signs his name on that has exactly the rules of the terms of the contract that they have to keep around. Um, and it's, and then it's like, okay, well, if we're going to expose the contract,

1:04:38where's the contract? Uh, and then in that, can all be in the show, right? Like, and these like, oh, you want to lie about this? Whips out the contract on the show. They all read it. Like, that makes sense, right? And it's fun to watch exactly. It's not like, well, is she allowed to lie about this or is she not allowed to lie about this? Yasha, you allowed to lie about this or are you not allowed to lie about this? Um, production is she allowed to lie about this? Like, um, yeah, it's a, I mean, I agree, I agree. I mean, I, I, I've, these are, this is one of the things like you were saying before that a survivor, you know, does pretty well, right? Like, do we like all the powers that have entered the survivor? No, but at least they know how to back them up. Like, this all just feels like it's backed up on false currency, okay? It's all counterfeit. And nobody knows what to do about it. Okay. Yeah. Uh, so Drew tells Melody he does believe that Yasha

1:05:42did agree to this so Yasha cannot win H.O.H. Melody's like, yeah, that's a problem. Um, again, she's quite pissed about this whole situation. Um, detoxed Devons, she says, listen, I respect the move. I was like, I don't, it's just stupid move. He shouldn't do this. He's not going to make it to the end. I'm not going to vote for Barrett in the end. He's not going to win this game. And she's like, well, come on. If he gets there, we got to respect it. You know, like, come on, come on, come on, Devons, uh, and Devons like, well, listen, at least Drew has shown that he thinks his best path forward is with us. She's like, I don't know, Devons. He's like, listen, I think he feels pretty burned by being put in this situation. I think he was just as surprised as us that this was coming. She's like, Devons, you have to open your eyes. Come on. Shut up, Dee. Stop fucking talking to me like I'm an idiot. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You mean serious? I'm really sorry.

1:06:45They start laughing and he says, it's fine. It's all good. Oh my god. No, he snapped real quick. He's just, he's been like cool, cool, cool guy, dad, Rick Devons this whole day. He's getting put on the blog. And he finally was like, shut the fuck up. Like all the three icons have been thrown in jail together. And he's like, they're still away to escape. But she's like, there's not. Yes, there is. I have a spoon. We can start digging. Oh, man. Yeah, that was funny. I detoxed Angela and tells her about it. And Angela also is like, well, I wouldn't vote for Barrett to win. And he's like, come on, Angela. Come on. We would vote for Barrett to win. And they talk about, well, all these things are going to like make it their life's work to make

1:07:47sure he loses this game. But if he makes it there, they got to give it to him. Yeah. Yeah. Drew Barrett and Melody hang out for a while. And Drew again, who notices, he says this later, that Barrett's in a in a truth telling mood. He asks Barrett about when he was on the blog. Because remember, Melody told him that Barrett was going to vote him out. And now that he's heard that Barrett was going to vote Devons out, I think he's been wondering. And Barrett's like, well, listen, before I tell you this, I want you both to know that I'm doing my best to drag both of you to the end of the best of my ability. Drew, I was voting you out if you lost that blog cluster. So I needed to win that. Yeah. That's fine. That's fine. Yeah. I get it. But you're just too close. It's been fairly too close to the vets, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Barrett's pretty cut throughout, huh? And then he takes the soonest opportunity to leave that conversation.

1:09:02Even the weasels. Are looking at him go across that yard like, oh, Oh, Drew. And it's like, it's with Barrett, like, with Barrett's back to them as well, which is just like, Oh, my God. I don't get what I like that should never have come out of Barrett's mouth in my opinion. He could have denied that to his grave. He could have been like, yeah, I pretended like I would have. Um, but uh, yikes, it's especially, especially when you still need, you need for one of these icons to go. You need one of them. Drew is the key piece here. If he's going to keep Drew off the

1:10:06block, he needs to make sure Drew stays good with him, especially because Drew still has so much sway over melody. I like, Drew becomes one of the most important people in Barrett's game. Don't give him something like that. That's not something you easily come back from. You're going to take me out of the game. Just like that, like, I felt so good with you. And now I know for a fact that for weeks, you were secretly working against me would have voted me out. Like, that's, it's one thing that he would have voted devins out against his wills. One thing that he kept all that from him, but the fact that he would have voted him out is like, man. And like, what's the plan after that then as well? It's just like, it just opens up so, so like, you already, you already know, I mean, your suspicions about Drew are correct. You know how in he is

1:11:07with these beds, particularly with devins. I, I don't know why you think things are suddenly going to change with you being H-O-H. Like, I understand the thought process of like, oh, well, you know, let me be honest before it gets back to him. I want, I want to be the person that's telling him this. I don't want anybody else to, but it, why do you think he's going to be okay with it just because your H-O-H right now? Like, and then he has two people that he can still fall back on because only one of them can leave. Only one of the beds can leave. All it takes is for one of them to win. And then that, he's like, who will you out? Like, I just wish that like, this bear it had showed up a little sooner. I just feel like there were more options then. There were more, there were other people in the house that were more like-minded. Like, he is more so than Drew is.

1:12:08Right. And that's why I'm like, I can only take my, my foot off his neck a little bit for this because it's like, you're doing it and it's great and it's raw raw, but the road is still so rough right now. And you just made a tensile's rougher. You took the wrong exit, buddy. Like, I don't know, I don't know, man. Well, Drew basically goes straight to D after this, because A, I think he's feeling pretty upset about it and B, it's a great opportunity to show that there's true separation between him and Barra and that he's not behind this move against the vets. Drew, by the way, is totally right to want to stay in good with the vets this week. Because Drew, if he can't get yashtown, still needs the vets. Like, he's still, like, those are, they have nobody else, right? Like, if he can stay good with them, and especially if D leaves,

1:13:09and it's devins and Angela, then like, he still has some room to maneuver versus like, the vets being mad at him because of Barra's move and Yash still needing to nominate. Like, basically everyone in the houses after Drew after this, Yash contractually obligated to and now, and he knows it. Who else is he going to work with at this point? So he goes to D, now granted, he needs to be careful because he doesn't want to be the Reno here. But he goes to D and he tells D about this. She has a really hard time understanding it at first. She's like, no, no, you were safe that week. I made sure. He's like, no, Barra told me he would have voted me out. So I would have been gone. She's like, no, no, you, I made sure, no, he's like, I'm not blaming you. I'm saying Barra, Barra, Barra would have turned on me. She's like, that doesn't make sense. I'm saying Barra would eventually she gets it. She says, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize I was putting you in danger. He's like, it's fine. It's Barra was going to do it. And so they talked about

1:14:10that for a little while. Barrett talks with Taylor and Yash. He says, this is when he says he got verification about the bribe. They go upstairs. Barrett talks with Drew up in the H.O.H. room. He says that he, again, he believes that Yash is probably telling the truth. Barrett says he's like, it's possible that Devons believes that it was real and binding, but it's actually not because that would be ridiculous. It's again, it's just like such a stupid thing. Drew asked if Barrett would be down for him to use the veto on Angela and put up Yash. Then Yash is up on the block with Devons and D. They can all battle it out together. And Barrett is like, yeah, that's fine with me. I'm chill with that. And it's not just that he says, like, agrees to it. They continue to talk for a while. And like, that is like the established plan. Yeah. According to Barrett and Drew. Now Barrett doesn't

1:15:10really tell anybody else this plan. I don't know how actually down he is for it. But Barrett is saying, I will do it too. I will win the veto and use it on Angela to put Yash on the block. So who knows? VitoDraw is likely happening right now. So we'll see who ends up not playing in the veto. Obviously Yash playing in the veto makes a huge difference. And you could see what happens there. By the way, I did have this thought too that if I'm Yash and I truly felt like I was burned by like with this whole situation and they did believe me, there's a world where like, I just go screw it. I can't target the icons. Not as well work with them for now then. And I will tell you that the icons are feeling similarly. Hey, if they're all going to come after us, we might as well work with the one person that can't. So we'll see what happens there. But Drew says he does now believe that Devons was probably never truly full

1:16:18finger guns. That he was probably riding the middle of the crossovers because he agreed to this, because Drew believes it. Drew believes that Devons agreed to this plan with the three of them being safe and Drew and Barrett being left out. So that's worth noting. But again, like Drew, it doesn't really matter for Drew. He still needs any kind of numbers that he has. So he's still looking to obviously ideally take Yash out who he still believes that I like has to nominate him. And he says quite frankly, even if Yash didn't accept the full deal, doesn't really matter. He's still going to nominate him. He's still not made Drew. So that's sort of where Drew stands here. Yeah, I mean, like I said, he's put himself in a very interesting position where he, you know, his options are very, very limited before they weren't as limited. He was self limiting them. But now at this point, it is, it kind of is what it is. You got someone that

1:17:23has to come after you. You got that kind of relying on you right now. So it's sort of, you know, he take out Yash, sure that buys you another week of safety. But then you're still sitting with these icons. Now Barrett is probably looking at your game feeling like, okay, so what are you going to do? And now you're in this position where it's like, do I ride full hard with these people? Because it's they can go after Barrett, who I know was going to come after me. So I can just get him out. But then you're still sitting with you. It's just like, you know, it's, he's in a he's in this position where it's like, there is a path for him to get further. I just don't know what the path is for you to win at this point. And he's got nobody really to blame but himself for that. Like it's working for you now, but how long? I don't know. Yeah.

1:18:24Well, we'll see what happens with this Vito draw. We'll see the it's might come back before the update ends depending on which long actually, we are closing it on the end of the update. So probably not. But basically, you can see on the board here if you're watching the video version, the four people on top, Barrett, Angela, D and Devons will be playing. And then there's four on the bottom or in the middle here, Drew Melody, Yashin Taylor, two of them will be playing, two of them won't be playing. Now, Devons has already expressed interest in picking Drew to play in the Vito. I would imagine that then there was also the idea that D and Angela were like, well, maybe we would want Melody to play because she's less likely to win. So if any of them are choosing, if any of them get a house guest choice, they're likely picking either Drew or Melody. And that includes Barrett. So odds are a lot higher for Drew and or Melody to be picked than Yash or Taylor. They are much less likely, I would say, to be picked. Though

1:19:29Taylor could theoretically be picked if again, they want like a theoretical lower chance of somebody playing whether or not Barrett actually would choose Drew as another question he said he would. But we don't still fully know if he actually wants Drew to win and to use the Vito. So so we'll see, but it does definitely matter who wins this, especially because I would say we know this is BB Comics and I think that Drew or Yash could both be favorites in that competition. I was about to ask it was was Angela around for BB Comics her season? I can't remember. I believe she was. Do you remember how well she did it? Because I don't think she did well. Okay, because I'm just thinking, you know, I wouldn't count her out just yet only because it's the second time. So I was like, maybe she has a little bit more of like knowing what to look for this time. I might be a little bit more familiar with like how, you know, production might switch things up. So like,

1:20:33keep in my own her as well, but I ultimately agree with you. I think that Barrett, at least for me, I don't know so much about Drew, but I think Barrett is definitely more of the favorite in this. So we'll see. I was saying maybe she, I thought she said she, I see because she talked about it. I thought she said she was there. It either happened right before she left or right after she left. Because I know that she was six places. I was like, was it before or after I can't remember? Because she said they they waited to do it until everyone was in the everyone was playing in the video. So obviously that could mean final six. She went home at final six. But she, I guess, was not there. Okay, what nevermind. Forget what I said, dude. Either way. So who knows? Devon's Dean Angela spent a long time talking in the backyard. And they kind of like talk through again, all these various scenarios with who to pick for veto should they just try to work with Yash moving forward. Devon says he does believe that they've

1:21:36kind of got Drew, at least to some degree. Devon says that they should tell everyone that they are voting for Barrett if he makes it to the end. Just let that be known to everyone so that they recognize that they should take Barrett out because they're trying to sync Barrett's game as much as possible. And they do, you know, they do start that yesterday as well. And Taylor talks to Yash. She's in the kitchen. She says, Yash, tell me the truth about this bribe. But she says the bribe is that I can't put D up and the other two Mickey Mouse. It's not binding. Because are you sure? Yeah. Yash, please tell me the truth. Okay. But you can't tell anyone. You can't put any of them up.

1:22:38Who else is left to tell? Everybody knows. She says no. But I would have went home that week. So like I had to accept it. So he does admit it to Taylor here. I don't think she will tell anyone. Again, because it's like where is she going to go? Like, I mean, like, you know, she's probably the person that he would try to protect. But basically what he says is that like he's not, he can't win HOH. He's just a Vito and Bokbuster guy. So this is like the second stage of like being put in the spot for Yash, which is like, okay, yes, I did take that deal in that way. But I promise I'm throwing HOHs. Because if he wins an HOH next week, there is a world where he is forced to put up Taylor. And he knows that. Now, quite frankly, I think if a vet leaves, he should still win. Anyway,

1:23:41I think he should get it out of the way. But from what he's telling Taylor, at least, which obviously he's incentivized to, he doesn't plan to. But Taylor, I think, knew he was lying the whole time. Finally got it out of him. So really, the only person that seems to have any amount of belief in Yash not fully taking this deal is Barrett, though Drew and Melody are like, we think it's this way, but it could be the other way. And now he has admitted it to Taylor, but I don't think you're right. I'm like getting D up out of there so that we can finally see what happens if D goes. Because at that point, and then you just frame it to Barrett, like, look, like, she's not being truthful about what this power does. But if you have any reservations about it, we can just get rid of her this week and that way we don't have to worry about it. You know, just campaign your ass to take her out. And it works that way. And we don't know. They'd probably ask production and they'd be like, well, we're allowed to lie about it. So.

1:24:46Does that mean you're allowed to what do you, it's, is it happened that way or not? We reserve the right to you, you know, fulfill and you're just gonna have to find out. Check your contract, which we were editing right now. Yeah. Drew and Melody spent a long time talking and hanging out and flirting again, late into the night. He does tell Melody that he is for sure choosing her over Barrett now that he just found out the bear was going to evict him. But for the most part, they just continue their, their stuff, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I really do wonder how the one I move outside of this because I'm sick of how they're moving inside. So either. Yeah. Yeah. So. Well, yeah, a very, a very interesting day. I was, I was very pleased to have this data cover because it was very topsy-turvy and it's causing the strife within the, the icons alliance.

1:25:56It's causing Barrett and Drew to really have to come to terms with what their games really mean now that they have been working with these bets for so long because it's rough for either of them even with this big up evil. So it's really gonna test their chops. More so for Barrett, I'm not really interested to see what Drew does after this, but you know, I'm proud of what Barrett has done. But now it really becomes crucial about like what conversations you start to have. What, who you tend to target and who you think should go first and how you make that happen and who you bring along with you because we're an endgame now, honey. And if you want that 750,000, this can be a great week for you. In the end, people can look back on this. We can be like, this is, this is what you did to clear a path. But this was just you like cutting through one,

1:26:57one little bush. There was like at least 10 more that you need to cut through in order to get to that win. So I'm very interested to see what he does. Yeah. And people are saying with regards to the Drew Melody interaction there that like, well, Melody was also voting him out. But you have to understand like the differences that number one, Melody was always honest with Drew about it. Like from that very week, she said, I'm voting you out. And number two, he had been lying to Melody. Yeah, Melody has always been an inflammation deficit. Right. Like in his mind, like he's always been in lockstep with Barrett. He's always been, he's always shared all of his information with Barrett. They've been in all of the alliances together. They have a final two since date, they, whatever. And Barrett secretly was going to vote him out. And he had no idea for weeks. And we heard him say in the diary room, I think it was on on locked last night, he said that he wasn't sure. And this

1:28:01was before, this was before any of the stuff happened. This is before Barrett won HOH. This is while Drew was still HOH. Drew was saying that between Barrett and Melody, he wasn't sure who he would want to actually sit next to in the final two. And so I think that with Barrett winning this HOH, making this big move and revealing all of the things that he was actually doing when Drew didn't realize has genuinely convinced Drew that he is now locked in with Melody over Barrett for sure. And that's because number one Barrett's more likely to win against him now. And number two, he found out that Barrett was doing a lot more behind his back, was willing to vote him out. And successfully lied to him and tricked him into believing he wouldn't. So I think that's the major difference here. And I do think this is a meaningful interaction that Drew is going to now choose Melody over Barrett. I mean, that's, sorry, go ahead. Well, and also I think he's he's learned more about Devons as well. I think the events of the day have really pushed Drew toward Melody more than anything else both with Devons and with Barrett.

1:29:07And obviously that's also the thing that makes the most sense for his game to be in the final two with Melody. It gives him the best chance of winning the game at this point as well. At this point, yeah. Yeah, and that's kind of what happens when you play, it can feel so intoxicating to play with powerful figures in the house for so long because they protect you. But it also makes you feel like you're doing a lot because you're seeing everything. You tend to know more about what's going on. So it makes you feel like you're in it. But all it takes is for someone to do the same thing that you're doing, but also be a little bit more self, you know, be more self interested. And then all of a sudden, everything that you thought you were doing, it just it loses its value very, very quickly. And I mean, that's just the risk that you take whenever you get so well entrenched with people that just have higher profiles in the

1:30:08game than you do. So cautionary tale, I mean, going to the end with Melody could very well be his winning game, but I just don't know how the two of them get there, but we'll see. We'll see. We will see indeed. And what a day of feats it was a wild set of events, so many secrets being leaked out, so many arguments happening, big nominations made. The week is not over though. There's still a lot happening here. The vote between D or Devons still very much up in the air in terms of who would be targeted. I think that there's a lot of reason for people to want Devons out over D because he's closer to Drew and he's like all that stuff, but also D is pissed enough people off and she's the glue as Taylor says to the D is like, the glue between Devons and Angela, which is kind of true.

1:31:11They might not have a choice, depending on who wins Blockbuster or who wins the veto. And then do not forget about Yash who is not out of danger either. If Yash does not win this veto and somebody else who will use it does like Angela D or Devons or even Drew or Barrett, then Yash very likely at this point is still the replacement nominee. And if he loses the Blockbuster likely evicted because Drew and the two icons that are not on the block will likely vote. Yash out. Now I say likely because who knows with these vets. But what that is very a very possible outcome as well. So see all kinds of stuff. I tend to hope that Barrett sobers up from his crazy day and starts to think about that. Yash Rennon just a little bit more clearly because if your ultimate goal is to get rid of one of them and you win that veto just don't use it.

1:32:18Don't use it because it's just at that point it's not worth the risk. It's not worth the risk. I agree. I think if Barrett wins it and uses it, it pisses Yash off and he wins HOH and he targets. Like, you know, like if Drew uses it, I think that actually works well for Barrett because Barrett has no option but to put Yash on the block and Yash is still not activated. And there's a chance that Yash leaves whatever, right? But if he keeps Yash off the block or if he's not his choice to put Yash on the block, then Barrett picked Yash to play. If he's back. Back up apparently Barrett picked Yash, shows Yash to play, which is quite interesting. All right. Well, we should probably, so I'm going to let Terran go. I can't imagine he is continuing to make Drew very happy.

1:33:18Do we know the other player yet? I'm very curious. I honestly with Yash playing like that, I believe Yash will win comics. I think Yash will win BB comics. I don't think it matters who else is playing. Okay. Drew's upset. No one picked Drew. Well, of course Drew would be mad. This is the thing. I was literally just like walking the line between Don't piss off Yash and Don't piss off Drew is like the ideal scenario for Barrett here. I don't get why he would need to pick Yash. I don't even think Yash would have been annoyed if he hadn't been picked. Or maybe there's, or did he pick Yash? Like how sketch twists or he just picked Yash's thing? Maybe that's. I would assume that if people are talking about him picking Yash, it would be a sketch choice. If he just picked Yash's chip, then we're, no, this is useless. He's just even talk about. Taylor also perhaps got picked by Angela.

1:34:24Okay. All right. So two people that are not inclined to use it. And if he did pick Yash, then I'm going to believe that as of right now Barrett is probably also not inclined to use it. So it's three against three with odds of Barrett and Yash so far. Yeah. They're saying how he got house-guest choice and picked Yash. I think that's a mistake. I think there is a lot of things he could have done with house-guest choice that did not include Yash, whether it was Drew or just picking like Melody. I think even just picking Melody would have been a lot of things. Melody probably would have been the best bet. But obviously the idea is he doesn't want the veto to be used. I don't think Drew would have used the veto if he told him not to. I don't know why he would have continued to mislead Drew into thinking, yeah, this is what I want. And then go ahead and pick Yash. He's immediately burning Drew again. And he's keeping Drew safe.

1:35:25So it's like, this is a guy that's still going to be in the house. Why are you antagonizing him like this? Why are you telling him you're going to vote him out? And then tell him you're going to pick him for the veto and then not. It's weird. Maybe it's just exposure. Just tell him you're not going to pick him for the veto if you don't plan to pick him for the veto. Maybe it's just exposure therapy at this point. Maybe he's just like, listen Drew, we're going to get to the end of this game whether you like it or not. And this is the way I know all. You will see the truth. Maybe Drew will come around. Oh boy. Either way, that seems to be where we leave off for today. A big update because there's a lot happening here. Of course, there is plenty to get through the rest of the week. And at this point, given that Barry did this, it's possible he's just to remind you, his plan was always to re-nom Yash. Yes. It's possible given that he just picked Yash

1:36:27to play in the veto that that's not true anymore. Maybe he has changed his plans and is planning to re-nom Drew. That's pure speculation at this point for me. But I don't get why you would pick Yash to play if you plan to also re-nom him. It seems like at that point you'd just re-nom Drew. So we'll see all speculation on my part, but I'll be back tomorrow morning, 11 a.m. Eastern to update when everything happens today on the Big Brother 28 live feeds. And again, like the fact, sorry, the fact that Yash, that he still believes that Yash didn't actually take that deal. I'm sure he's also playing into this. So stay tuned for that. Check out my Patreon. I streamed multiple times yesterday. If you want to see what happened, you can watch the VOD of me reacting to the feeds as they were going down with some of the stuff going on yesterday. Check all of that out. I'm on. What do you got going on? You can follow me everywhere. Adam on Adwin, following along the season with the rest of you all.

1:37:30Also over at the Diabie Room, which I can't record a podcast right now, where we are trying to find the best Big Brother player of all time. Three people go in, or excuse me, six players go in. Three people come out. We've been a little bit down until we found out who's the best Big Brother player of all time that's over at the Diabie Room, wherever you get your podcasts. So check us out over there. And that is it for me. I'm super excited for today. I'm a little annoyed that I have to work this evening, but I'm going to be glued to my phone to see what see what happens. So I'm really excited. You become, it's a long one. It's individually timed and some people time it out. So feeds were likely to be down for a while today. So be prepared for that. But the outcome does matter quite a bit here. Perhaps for Yasha's game, perhaps for Drew's at this point. Who knows? But that's what we have for you. Thank you all so much for joining us here today. And I will see all of you next time.
