BB28 Sunday Nominations Ep Recap, Week 9

Also available on YouTube.

Big Brother 28 is at a turning point as the Crossovers finally make a move to put the “Icons” on the block after weeks of the trio holding power. In this recap episode, Aysha Welch, Mari Forth, and Kirsten MacInnis break down all the action and shifting alliances as new HoH Barrett shakes up the house.

Barrett wins HoH and makes a bold play by nominating Dee, Angela, and Devens, the three main Icons, together for the first time all season. The panel discusses how this move comes after a long stretch of the Icons avoiding the block, their loyalty being doubted by others in the house, and why waiting any longer would mean giving up control to that tight trio. The hosts dig into the social fallout, including how Drew and Melody navigate their shifting positions, and how transparency around deals and bribes (like Yash’s $5,000 offer) adds new wrinkles to the house dynamic. There’s also talk about funny and messy moments from the Diary Room, chaotic HOH competitions, and what choices houseguests might make as their numbers dwindle and old alliances get tested.

  • Mari talks about why targeting the Icons now is smart game play for Barrett, who needs to seize on a rare moment of power before the Icons regain majority.
  • Kirsten highlights the messy lines of loyalty, showing how players like Drew and Melody are forced to pick sides as Barrett’s move exposes cracks in the Icons’ grip.
  • Aysha unpacks the drama of veto selections and how social bonds and personal deals (especially Yash’s bribe) make it hard to know who is truly working together.
  • The hosts share their favorite DR and house moments, including Barrett’s nomination speech and Taylor’s candid responses.

With a major alliance finally fractured, everyone is wondering: Did Barrett make the right choice taking his shot now, and will others follow or push back? Tune in for all the details and stay on top of the season’s biggest shakeup yet!

Hey everybody, it's Asia Welch and we're back to talk about another episode of Big Brother. You may be wondering, where's Rob? Where's Taryn? It's a baby takeover baby. Okay. Get ready for the first quarter. Ladies and gentlemen, here on Rob has a podcast. So we are very excited to talk about a nomination episode. We got here. We got an H-o-h. We got three new noms. So we're ready to unpack it all. I'm here with two women who get glazed. They don't do the glazing, right? First up, we got Marie forth. Marie, how are you? Speak for yourself. Number one, Barrett Glazer. Right here. Right here. Glazing. Pumpio, pumpio. Not in your line. Not in your line. Oh, great. Barrett Glazer. I thought we were with the times, y'all.

No, no, he is not. That's not. And then to round out our trio here, we have Kirsten McKinnis, Kirsten. How are you? I am so good. I'm so happy to be here. Happy to clock in as the number two Barrett Glazer on R-H-A-P. And I, you know, I'm not Maggie. I don't have a dirty filthy martini, but I have a giant glass of white wine in order to celebrate because this is a celebration. Let's be clear. I was at a custom Marie Crafts Tumon. She got right there. It's your thing that's available on my shop right now. Wow. You're right, Kirsten. I have a custom cup too. This here cup was made by the winner of Survivor 47, Rachel Lamont. Oh, okay. Oh, we're talking about our famous friends. Okay. I don't even know what three icons on the block, three icons on the podcast. That's what I always say. Yeah.

Exactly. Pretty cool. I know. I'm like, what an amazing episode to discuss. I mean, as this all happened in real time, it was so exciting on the feeds, of course. We'll have our spoiler section at the end as we do in any normal episode, any normal BB recap. But, of course, we'll provide some coloring because I feel like they left a lot out of the episode tonight. There's only so much. Yes. I mean, yes, there was so much material to work with that the editors were like spoiling for riches. So, yes, they left a lot out, but I'm not too mad at it to be quite honest. Yeah. I mean, the biggest story coming out of this episode is that, oh my gosh, for the first time this season, the three icons have hit the block. Yes. Yes. There it is. And many said it would never happen. Many said it's only happening because of Mallory,

but many are wrong. The fact that we are in what is it like week eight or something like that? Yeah. And they are just finally all hitting the block. And the only time that two of them were on the block was Yasha's H-O-H. Yep. Right. And like Yasha has been screwed by these like powers, but it didn't have to be so bad if he had just nominated all three icons in the first place when he was H-O-H. Right? So, it's like, yes. That's what we get. That's why we're only getting the Throne of Block now in the last month of the game. Right. Like, and what got me was how the icons kept trying to say, it's too early. It's too early to make something like this happen. Are we not in the final, what is it? Yeah, the final eight. Like, we are in the home straight to this game. I mean, I guess they mean too early is before the final five.

Before it's over. Like, it's in the final five. Like, I think that's just kind of what you say, right? Like, you're in this alliance. You've been working together, though not like, considering each other fully at every point in the game, obviously, like, Drew's hit the block twice when crossovers were in power. Like, it's, but I think that's, it's just kind of what you say. Like, I think that it also is such a mistake to be taking everybody at exactly face value as well, because there are such interesting social dynamics happening. And like, yeah, they're going to say whatever it takes. Like, deal in this episode said, I would nominate Barrett this week and Barrett's the one person I was never going to betray. So it's just like, you can't leave everything that you will say. Is it one micro Uchiwali? Exactly. Like, so, and that's the thing, right? Because some people are echoing that sentiment. They're like, oh my god, Barrett is making this move. This is such a bad move for him.

How can you reasonably say you want to move? We're at eight, right? There's three of them. There's three icons left. So if you're moving forward without them and one of them survives this week, they are the majority of them on the block. And then on top of that, why would I wait to get got by them? Because my biggest thing and the reason why I do think Barrett did this is because they never showed that they could truly be loyal to anybody, but the three of them. Because we saw them flip, flip, flip, all season long. We saw them want to take out Drew and then not take out Drew. Want to take out Melody and not take out Melody. Say they're not going to take out Mallory and then take her out. Like, why would I want to wait for them to decide my fate in the game? So if it's earlier or not, if I have the power, I'm just going to, I'm just going to make something shake right now. And then hope it, hope I can pick up the pieces. Just last just the day before this happened.

D was considering getting out devens. Like, it was going to happen. Devons had not won the BB blockbuster. It could have been a unanimous vote to get rid of him at that point in time. Like, he was going home. So it's just like very rich to hear this. Oh, it's too soon. Oh, it's too soon. And like exactly to your point, Mallory, like, you don't know when you will get power again. Like, Barrett has been very competent and every competition he's played in. But this is the first one he's won. And like, he doesn't know if he'll win again. He doesn't know what comps are coming up and exactly how it's going to work. So like, you have to strike while the iron's hot. And for Barrett specifically, he has been saying from the beginning, oh, I know I was the last one pulled into this room. Oh, I know I'm at the bottom of this ally. When that alliances and power, obviously he's not going to be vocally saying he wants to go against it because they're in power. But when the opportunity arises, he is very cognizant of his position in the house.

And he laid it out in the diary room. As long as one of the icons or Yash goes home, that's good for him. Like, he knows. Actually, it is. Yeah. And we got at different points in this episode, all three icons saying in their own way that Barrett hasn't done anything this so far in this game. And so now he gets to prove his loyalty to the crossovers. When it's like, hey, if he hasn't done anything, he needs something bigger than proving like this being committed to this alliance that has been the same this entire game. And quick question. What is Angel it done? Exactly. They've been thinking that Barrett would react like Drew has. We've talked about it. Drew has kick puppy syndrome. The icons keep kicking him and kicking him. But he just tries to be even more, even more loyal. Barrett is not like that. The minute that they kick Barrett, aka voting Malaria against his wishes,

he has been seething and waiting for his chance ever since. And he's just mad. They're lucky that it's only here that they're getting the shot thrown at them because it was two. It would have been two weeks in a row if it was up to Barrett. That's true. It would have made these moves. It would have been three weeks in a row. He wanted to vote Drew out. He wanted to vote Evans out. Like he, he wasn't able to do other of those, but he did throw Yasha into Get rid of Haley during the medieval night. That was like a pretty specific shot that he was able to get away clean with. And then he wins HOH. And I really wish they had just recreated the BB-15 scene when Andy won HOH and everyone in the bedroom saying, I'm so happy I'm good. And then Andrew's just like, because they could have done that. Yes, it literally, it was just bizarre because even in that, like to throw it back to the medieval comp, they chose Haley over him. So it was kind of like, okay, you all have consistently proven that you're not the type

priority to y'all. And now that he's getting the chance to make a move, like I did respect D in real time when Angela told her this information, like, okay, like, look, it's a good game move. Like, what can we do? But then of course, in the DR, it's how she really feels, you know. Yeah, I would never put you up, even though I've considered putting you up. What do you mean? Like, I just thought that's what you all would. But I would never put you up. That was, that was also ridiculous for me. She was like, Barrett, what is the only person I have one to have turned on? We know, feed people know, that immediately last week, she was talking about putting Drew Duffinks and Barrett up. Also, also, how would he know that? He's seen you put up girl. He's seen you put up Mallory. He's seen you flip votes for no other reason than you were bored. And you did not give him any reassurance. They never, she never made a final two with him, which is something I was really, I like, she really should have done it, especially when she got Mallory out.

Like, if you're going to get Mallory out, then you need that you should, of Locked Barrett back in and they didn't. They didn't even, they barely even did any maintenance to try and keep spirit on side with Mallory. No, no maintenance at all. They just ignored the reminder, notifications that popped up in the car. So she fell in the chat, says, a girl can't change her mind, question mark, information mark. Yeah, and then what did I say to him? I said shut the hell up. And he said, he said, what happened to supporting women's rights and wrongs? And I do. We do. But stay out of women's business. We support it. But also, there are consequences to your right and wrong actions. And unfortunately, D is paying those rights. Exactly. Exactly. We're there for. Well, and this is where like, I live for mass because, yes, you know, all things being equal. I want D to stay in that house.

We said all that. And yet, D for blockbuster. But wait, we can't, we jump right into the HOH result. But I feel like it would be so wrong to not give our last little bit of credit to Lala on the way out. And Taylor's DR about Lala almost made me cry. Oh my gosh, that was heartbreaking. Because even real time on the feeds, I remember early in the game, when she's telling Lala, don't say anything, Hush, don't say anything. And I know social media blew up from her saying, even Lala's daughter responded to Taylor saying that. And then you cut to the episode where it happens in Lala's balling or Taylor is balling because she's like, oh, like that breaks my heart to tell her to just not be herself. And I loved seeing that at that point from Taylor. And then even now seeing this from Taylor that they really created a strong bond. And it's nothing like having somebody there that you can just let your hair down with and

just kind of feel that sense of comfort, right? And it's just like, it's kind of like her safety blanket is like walked out of the door. And now she just kind of has to like, okay, now when now when I'm feeling sad and now when I'm feeling like ostracized, like, okay, now I just got to be by myself. Because what, you know, now Lala's gone. Exactly. Like that was the only person that she felt she could express any emotion to and it not be used against her. Yeah. And a house full of people who have just been using her emotions against her this whole season. So I'm glad they included that that they are. And just as a character, we're going to miss Lala. She is truly one of a kind. And I hope she's like relaxing in the jury house by herself. It's just decompressing away from all those those young ins that got on her nerves. I know what holding a margarita in her bikini, but the heels on. Yes, with the heels on. When we get that jury segment whenever that's literally what I was going to say.

Like, I know she's there alone. She's in the bikini with her heels on just living her best life. And thank God she doesn't have to be cleaning up after these nasty people. Which like she should have never had to be like the only one cleaning up after them. But like, she's been freed from these dirty gross roommates. Like the overflowing trash. I literally get itchy sometimes just like seeing certain rooms in the big brother house without dirty it is. And like why do you all have ants on the counter in the bathroom? It's like that the ants will always win to be to be fair. And I do think at a certain point that is on production, like the way the ants are able to infiltrate. But like when they were not doing the dishes for a couple of days, and you would just see everyone walking past the sink full of dish. Like I had to go walk by my sink to make sure that it was clean. That's like what's happening here. Right. If you wear glasses, you know the drill. You don't replace them until you absolutely have to.

A scratch that's livable. Lose screw fine. Just try to tighten it with your fingernail and move on. Because new glasses cost a few hundred dollars. It doesn't feel worth the hassle.

So we got to start this episode with all the fallout with Lala's exit. And you know, we get to see what happened, right? Because it was very confusing in real time how all of the lead up,

if you follow Terrence Live feed updates, it seemed like the conversation was if Devon's wins HOH, we're voting out Taylor over Lala. And so what happened was we found out the blockbuster, not a Jewish. Oh yeah, the blockbuster. So what we found out was that the icons wanted to get out Lala with the exception of Angela. And so Barrett decided to side with what Devons and D and Drew, two vote out Lala instead of Taylor. And he was able to communicate that to Yash. But not quite able to communicate that to Melody. So then that's how Melody and Angela ended up being the only ones to vote out Taylor. Yeah, I think Terrence thought that this was a little bit more intentional than the episode made it seem. But I guess in the diary room, we do get Barrett saying like, yeah, I vote out Lala.

So I could seem to be at least some version of crossover strong. Yeah. And then we get Yash, Mad, that Barrett voted to get rid of Lala. But honestly, again, I think Lala going was better for like Barrett's game. But I mean, yeah, at that point, it really didn't matter. I think we talked about that last week. But the difference between Lala and Taylor, there wasn't a big difference at least in their standing in the game and they're positioning in the game. Yeah. But this was kind of Yash's like realization that Barrett is just going to, Barrett is just going to glaze the icons. He says LeBron James. He doesn't glaze. Who does Drake glaze? No, wait, if you're glazing, you will never be glazed. And I think he's amazing. Some people. I was about to say, can you put in a whole song about all of the people that drink glazed? But that's just me. I don't know. Maybe I wasn't paying attention to this. I mean, maybe the wrong panel to be talking about it.

I mean, I can't speak forever. But I know Drake has no haters. I personally am dead. There's like a cutoff point with me where I enjoy his albums. Yeah, I mean, like there's some bangers. Yeah, you can't deny there are some bangers. But it's just like Yash is becoming a quite the DR king. I think I'm enjoying what he's putting out because he's so comfortable. He's found his, his lane. I know I love, I love Yash in the G.R. Like earlier this season when he's just like, I lied. I love that. And then tonight he goes, am I going to stand in it? Yes. Am I going to tell the truth? No. Am I going to lie? Yes. Yes, give us exactly what we want. I know. Don't get in the DR in Lata is exactly. And he doesn't and he I like his posture. We all love a sloucher like a DR sloucher, a DR like

just hanging over the thing. And he doesn't know how iconic that is. You know what I'm saying? Like he is for all intents of purpose that we know is essentially a recruit. So he doesn't understand that we like how he's so comfortable in the in the diary room. So this is just him. Yes. Well, and I think that it was on on Wednesday, Brandon Donnellan was like comparing it to the survivor, confessionals when you're like on like a random log or whatever. But all I can think of is like old old school like when they had our rob in a fisheye like this close to his gizli that kind of vibe and I love it. Yes. I just love that he has stuck around long enough to get to this DR form. So it's just like every time we see he pops up, I'm like, yes, what is he about the saying? And this this time it was about glazing. So. Okay. Am I crazy or does Yash like low key have like a

poly bramian like trajectory kind of going on right now like BB 18 Paul like learning the game as he goes. Oh, definitely. Confessionals. Yeah. I would feel the only thing is that this bribe is limiting him because he feels like he has to throw H.O.H.s and if he just went ahead and got one. But this is the part of the game, right? In the in game, H.O.H.s are always important. But near the in game, H.O.H.s at a certain point are just kind of like safety for yourself. Yes, because the voting is the real power at points, making sure the people you want on the block are the real power. So Yash not being able to win H.O.H.s, but still being able to win Vito's and vote and affect the outcome of who is on the block with or without his Vito wins. Actually, isn't that

hampering for somebody as as now we're seeing as physically dominating or dominating as he is. So yes, it sucks that he can't win H.O.H.s and yes, he is handcuffs, but I would kind of argue that you know, we get the final five Vito final four like final six like being off the block and not being H.O.H. where you have a vote is powerful as well. One decay. So I know in the house, they think it's going to be a double this Thursday, which we obviously know is not the case because of like blockbuster timing and all of that. But yeah, there's a two hour episode plan for September 17th. So yeah, if there's a double next Thursday, I wouldn't be shocked if Yash took that opportunity to get that H.O.H. out of the way to like get someone like a drew out of the house and then he's like free and clear of his obligations.

Yeah, and that because that would be this is final eight. That means he would throw final seven and he would win final six double H.O.H. Right. That would, I mean, that would be the final five. Yeah, nobody wants to find five. Yeah, so yeah, that was a really good trajectory. I mean, the fact that we're sitting here talking about the comps that he can choose to win. Like that's how strong he is at these competitions. It's one he is really good, but this is also like a very competitive house when it comes to the competition. It's like they did not slouch in casting like incredibly physically fit people. Like I know the comp outcomes haven't shown like everyone equally winning, but like, bear it's really good. Drew's not a slouch. I could see Taylor really excelling in some of the more mental comps and like it's not like she's completely not physically fit for the ones that have the components. You almost won the block

buster on Thursday. So like there are lots more competitive options than sometimes other seasons at this point as well. And Dee is really good competitor. Devon is good at this stuff. Very true. Yeah, but I yeah, I'm not again, I'm not saying I'm not rewriting history. This is really bad. It is bad that he has to throw H.O. H.O. H.O. But at a certain point, if like, well, we'll talk about it in the spoiler section, but like if you can affect the player, the game just by winning a veto competition, then and you're that capable, then it's not that bad of a position. Like what I'm saying is he is in a position that he can actually overcome this bride as opposed to like say if this bride was on a melody. Yeah, if this bride was on a melody, she would be that's a while. Yeah, exactly. Before we made it to the H.O. H. comp in this episode, we did have a little bit of back and forth

about who was the other vote to vote out Taylor. And that's where we got to see this conflict between Dee and Devons because Devons, he asked Dee, did you vote out Taylor? She said, though, he talks to Drew, Drew kind of thinks like, you know, she might have voted out Taylor. And so then he asked her again, like, hey, come on, you can, you could be honest. And that's when she gets really mad because she's like, don't be questioned and we already told you the truth. But the problem is like she's the boy who cried wolf because she has voted in line about it before. So it does put her in a position where people might doubt her, come up, but saying to her face, you're a known liar. Yeah, but this this week has definitely been really funny seeing like Dee and Devons' friendship in like the Big Brother house because I think there are a moment where they like one of them might

be thinking real life, real real friend. And the other one is thinking Big Brother game while they're talking. And it's always the person who's still like in Big Brother mode that gets pissed off, you know, and that's exactly what it is. And it's like how dare he think that I could lie about this vote even though I have a lot of love. And it's like, she is a known liar, but you shouldn't say it to your ally. Right. Yeah, it's one of those things where they have been in a house long enough to where they could bounce back from something like this so easily because it's just like at this point your family, even though even if they didn't establish that like in-game relationship during survivor 50, now being here, like it's brand new territory, they've spent way more time together than they have anybody they did on 50. So it's like now they are at that point where she can kind of be like, look, I'm drawing this boundary don't don't question me. But then it's like, okay, the next time

it happens, when she does lie about a vote, then he's gonna be like, well, dang, now I can't question her. So what happened? Yeah. Yeah. So we did get this HOH where they had to roll these balls and roll the correct color into the correct colored like Valley. And so I thought it was hilarious when they're like getting their bearings, the comp starts, they're getting their bearings trying to figure out how much pressure to apply in Angela and her DR was like, well, Yasha Melody are throwing their balls like soft balls. My god Angela was trying to get like a guess so bad of like there's balls coming at my face. Like, yes, they were throwing it. They were. Yeah. Whip it up. I'm like, what are we doing here? When you when you see everybody else going like this

in the balls, like going like this, you're seeing Melody and Yasha's toss them. It's like, do y'all, y'all not understand how this works? I will say this comp was really interesting this first time we've seen this comp. And I kind of liked it. It is kind of an endurance aspect. Because you do have to like run back and forth to get your balls. I would love to know what the the comp like the the time run I would like how long it was. But I do like this because it also did kind of feel like a crap shoot almost as well. Because you can be up six balls. And then all of a sudden a few bad throws and you're all the way back down to zero. So I really like this. It's like a a weird way to do like a competitive shuffleboard. Yeah. But just like harder. Yeah. I loved it. It was the kind of thing where like anyone can kind of like get into a groove at any time and become like better at it. I think we know like they're never going to fully eliminate like physical aspects

from competitions like this. So at least it's like on one level, they don't have to go up and down any stairs. Like it wasn't that far. So I think all of those things are super positive. I I really liked it. And I think like the only thing I would criticize is like put on the feeds. You could put this one on the feeds. Ripple you you haven't done slip and slide in how many years give us this. But on the you know, I one thing I was concerned about was like like the mechanics of throwing another ball and possibly hitting another ball. But what I did notice they were doing was after a ball made it all of the they pushed the ball to the side. So all of the balls were like lined up on the side, which they never really showed anybody moving it. But then like once you got like the wide shot, it's like, Oh, okay, that's how they're avoiding hitting the other balls. But I agree. I would have loved to just see that. Yeah. And there's an elephant in the room now. Drew. What is that, Koster?

Laugh ass Irish accent. Which we got a sneak peak of this competition on BB unlocked and he was not doing an accent. So like, what the hell? Look, this accent compared to Barrett's veto accent, which I did entirely butcher on that last recap. And I think it's because like my family is country. I low key I'm country. But it's like, I can I can control it. Right. And so we're trying to put it on and makes it seem like I'm not doing my natural way of speaking. But anyway, just to correct that I know I thought you did a great job on that. I would have never heard a side. Stop lying to this girl. Did I listen to the podcast on one? No. And that might be my answer. I have the key. I've had cast for the two extras out there. You're already halfway there. I don't understand why.

You're already have. But you know who wasn't halfway there? Drew. But because the section was not it. Drew not forget who the real enemy is. Drew's Irish accent. Because Drew's a Drew Irish accent made it seem like Cody Califiori had trained at like Yale drama school. Police. It was bad. Everybody can't be Mike Bloom's. You know fake Scottish accent on R.H.A.P. traitors. So and even he knew to drop it as soon as he possibly could. So the fact that they had to have used the takes. I think they had to have like had him like do it a couple times and just use that that first intro take. They used the intro take because after that, when he was handing bear at the key and stuff, he was talking regularly. So I kind of feel like this might have been a setup. But like you don't have to take the bait. If you just simply never put on

that horrible accent, they can never show footage of you doing that horrible accent. Very true. He did commit, which I appreciate. I appreciate it that from him. Like he committed to the bit. He was to clearing out the spots. It was just like and I think it was funny because it was funny because Melody, she was giving him his props saying he looked cute in his outfit. But then she was like, I think she kind of got the Iq with the accent. And what in you? Who amongst us would it? I feel like Melody Lowkey has like 60% Iq with drew it all times even when things are at like their absolute best for their little slow burn romance. So I'm not surprised by that whatsoever. So we got to see how much of like you know, Mari like you said, kind of is like a crapshoot because you could be six balls in only needing a couple more. And

then you land two bad ones in your bag down to like three balls successfully in the right place. But Barrett did figure out to reduce that spin, knock it off the side. And it worked out for him. I loved that. And I loved that he was the only one doing that. So you also can see that there's multiple ways to like you didn't have to figure that out to be good at the competition, which is always fun when there's multiple ways to do it. Yeah, because it seemed like Dee had really just started to get the touch. Like it looked like she was just kind of really feeling it. The fact that it was Barrett Dee and Devons that were mainly in contention here. And that all three of them were doing it in different ways was again, it would have been great to watch on the fees like Asia said. It would have been very nail biting. I'm sure. Can I ask like what the hell is Melody doing?

Like what was that? She said brute force is going to win the day. But she doesn't have brute force. She's like, if I just throw it directly into the slide. I'll be more successful. Yeah. Just let it don't. I can't roll anyway. And also, who was the production assistant who got Roy G. Biv wrong? Because the Indigo was not in between the blue and the violet there. Well, but also Drew said teal at one point. Where's the there's no teal? Like first of all, teal's not a Roy G. Biv. But also none of those were teal or even close to teal. It was like aqua marine maybe. Just a pale blue. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because I don't want to make fun of him if it's actual color blindness. I've never heard of that. Well, that's what they told him to say. Because that definitely sounded

like it was a bite like a. Okay. So the producers color. possible. So we got to see bear it. Do this for the pipe queen. He said everybody should be scared. It's finally time for the middle man to make a decision, right? Choose a side. I will and I love this especially, Drew. Because like, I'm maybe I'm just like in the wrong. I don't know. I'm always prepared to be wrong. I am loud and wrong and loud or right, regardless of things. But like, I feel like he already had picked a side. And so, but he for purposes of the show had not picked a side. So he had to say it like that in the diary room for the viewers. It's like he hasn't had to show the house whose side he's picked. Yeah. He's showing the people the side he picked he's showing them. But it's like the icons were like the only one. I guess the icons in Drew.

Andrew. Andrew. But he's up the icons as so far that he might as well be one of them. Right. Or he wants to be one of them, which I really don't think he understands that like coming out of the house, if this is supposed to be, if this is going to be like the season of the icon, this, if it's going to be the season where we more remember how the icons played, you are, you are scarily close to being forgotten because you know, if you, it'll be the icons player who may move against the icons. Exactly. You know, man? Like no one's going to say, you know, remember, yeah, one guy who's stuck with the icon. And it's like, I do get it like for his game being with the icons does make sense for Drew at this time because of all the choices he's made in the past. He's put himself in that situation where it makes the most sense for him personally. But I'm also like, this is Drew who's done like every, like YouTube video, every game show that he can do,

like he wants free time. And so for that purpose, he kind of should be turning on the icons as you said, Marie. Exactly. Yeah. But I also wonder again, because we kind of got a little bit of people talking about the America's choice thing. I'm wondering if he's now thinking, okay, the icons got it and I got it. So America wants me to stick with them type of thing. And that's why I just do not like these Americans. But then why do you keep throwing melody under the bus? She won one too. Yeah. I was like, hey, did you forget about Moshpit? I did forget about the Moshpit. And so did everybody else in the house. Exactly. Exactly. Everybody in it. If you wear glasses, you know the drill. You don't replace them until you absolutely have to a scratch. That's livable. Loose screw fine.

FX's adults all episodes now streaming on Hulu. So we did get to see, speaking of Drew, we got to see Drew's kind of like, whoa, bear it. Like, what are you thinking? Because bear it confirms to Drew, you are melody or safe. And so for Drew, he knows that means someone from the crossovers going up. Because there's only three other options, which would include melody. And so I felt like this was Drew finally like, whoa, okay. He's not thinking the same as me. Wow. Because Drew wasn't thinking this way at all when he was H-O-H last week. No. Yeah. So Drew had his, had his knobs and didn't really care to elaborate on them. Exactly. So we'll bear it. So we got this string of conversations where bear it is confirming to Devon's and Angela

that he is considering putting up all three icons. And then he confirms to Devon's like, it's either all three icons or two icons in Yash. So I'm combination of that. And in real time on the feeds, it was interesting to watch this conversation between Devon's and bear it because it felt like bear's decision is made. Devon's is doing his work of like, he's a good talker with bear it, right? And I was like, bear is not biting. He's not biting. But then you get a, a DR where bear it's like, I low key was thinking, wait, maybe I could keep Devon's off the block. Which is kind of why he's not that he snapped out of it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. What is that idea even floating your head? I think that bear is so like, I feel like he is low key people, please. But in a way, where people, like a lot of times people will say they're people, pleasers, but nobody's pleased. But I feel like bear is a people pleaser, but people are pleased. And so I think that that

enters into like every conversation that he has or he's always willing to like hear things out and try to make the best call. Yeah, I don't know. Am I glazing bear too much at this point? Yeah, you're not going to love me. He won't get it pushed back from me. I know. At the last time you were on the update, I won't be taking your opinion. I just I will, I will just say that I think what it is is that bear it is thinking about all of the numbers, right? So as much as he would love to keep Devon's off the block, he knows that if he keeps Devon's off the block, then he won't have the numbers. You know, Terrence been going over it all week. But basically, if you keep Devon's off the block, he ran the risk of Devon's winning POV pulling one of the other icons off the block, then he has to then nominate either Taylor Melody, which would more likely be Taylor here, then you know, you'd have to rely on Yash winning the blockbuster. But even if Yash does run the

blockbuster, then it comes down to Taylor and Angela, maybe. And then now you're looking at the votes where you then need Drew to try and keep Taylor over Angela. Like, bear it completely understands. Bear it is doing the Rachel Riley. If you have the if you have the targets, you put them all up. Yeah, put everything on one of them up. You can't put up so and so, you put up a few people and then if it lands, no, put them all up. And and like you're saying, Carson, they say he's people pleasing. But he's now starting to get comparisons to Vinnie. I don't see it. Sorry. No, there is it isn't there because bear it does normally follow through with his word. This is the only week where and this week, he's not even not following through it in his word. When Devon said, well, can I get his up? And he said, yeah, this is your heads up. Like he's being very straightforward. He's been very straightforward throughout his norms throughout all of this. But it is easy for

people to be like, oh, he's Vinnie. He's Vinnie because everybody trusts him. And then he's turning his back on them. But he's not. This is the first time he's made a move for his game specifically. So I'm not going to regret him because we've seen the icons run rough shot over other people's games to do what they want for their personal game. So he's finally taking matters into his own hand. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And like Vinnie always had this kind of like victim mentality, even when he was winning. That is just like not like bear it will just matter of facts. Say like, I know I'm on the bottom of this and I like need to do something to get out of it. Whereas if it's Vinnie, like Vinnie, like when Mallorca says, no, don't put Mallorca, no, it's not right. I need her. Like that, like it's just not the same. Yeah. Yeah. So I did like how bear it eventually handles these conversations because even in real

time on the feeds, it was a while before they got to that like before bear it did admit to devins and Angela, but because even in his conversation with Dee, he hadn't yet admitted that he was considering all three icons. But in the midst of the pre-nom drama, we got some more icon on icon conflict between Angela and Devons and in real time on the feeds, it was a result of Angela having a conversation with bear it and Devons just asking how it went. And so that's how that conversation evolved to I'm not worried. Should I be worried? And it's because Angela already had the context that I feel like Angela felt that Devons, Drew and bear it are way too close. And she was already starting to think if anybody from the crossover goes up, it's going to be her and she was thinking Devons had a lot to do with that by influencing bear it's gnomes. And so this was so funny because Devons just thought he was asking a casual question like how was your morning? How

was your coffee? And it turned into her calling him a son of a poop and Devons calling her psycho. Well, I mean, she also like later on is like talking to the camera and goes like names Devons children, which I'm not going to do because I feel like that's weird to name someone's kids. And then it's like, sorry, F your dad, like that is a cycle thing to say. I'm sorry. And the fact that I love how they, I mean, it was a chop job. But it was definitely a chop job for the editors because they, you know, conflict, contact nuance, what is that? Because they didn't show her in the H a way so they couldn't be like, oh, how was that? Like it's, it has to follow a story for the episode. Exactly. And so the fact that we do get the DR of Devons being like, is Angela in La La, what is she doing? She's pretending everything's okay. We got to get active was so funny to me. I thought that was hilarious because he's just like, girl, we're in

danger. And she's always thinking she's being like, La La La, when she knows she's in danger too, but she's trying not to show it, you know, it was, it was just very funny. And yeah, it is a chop job. But I think it did a good enough job for the TV only fans to at least have an okay sense. Yeah. To say that these two are like, secretly butting his, because they didn't say it to each other's face. That's one step, right? They're not at, I guess. Well, I don't even think Devons and Devons, indeed, there's a level of comfort there, which is why they can say some of the stuff they say to each other. But with Devons and Angela, they are just not there yet. So this stuff has to be said under their breath or else, it would be a fight. I do wish I had included when Angela was like, and if Rick Devons rage baits me, like watch out because I that was so funny. Of course they wouldn't. They, they, you know, the Angela's edit has been very sweet.

I mean, we did get to see her boohoo to bear it though, right? Like she tried to use the, the whole, you wouldn't do this to me, right? Like you wouldn't know. You wouldn't, right? And he, no, I actually, yeah, I was thinking about it. I'm going to do it actually. And I'm excited about it. But it did also like exclude the part of this story where like for a while, Angela thought she was the only icon that would be going on the blog. And so that conversation is when like, she really realizes like, oh, no, it's all of them. And like I feel like, because he was, when he of that was a little bit lost because of the job, because I'm feed. It was funny because she went into that conversation where he's like, yeah, I am considering you. And he's like, she's like, I'm not a bigger threat than Devons. And Brett, but it's like, I never said that. And why are you thinking of a bigger threat? He's like, no, all three of you. She said, no, I just said, you want to really, really rethink that.

It's giving like, you're a middle school. And you're like telling your mom about something. And they're like, my one rethink that. Right. The single tear down her face though. I was surprised she managed to even squeeze one out. I thought that her face was dry as a bone. And previous to this. So honestly, good for her. And and bear it. Like in her dead in her face. Like, I think like, there was a quote from the feeds this weekend that was like, bear it was like, Angela came to my room, like cracked out of her mind. Like she brought her cocaine and her mirror for the conversation. That was wild. And then Melody didn't impression. That was kind of like, yeah, Melody's impression was kind of really good. So we did get one last ditch effort from the icons to reveal Yash's bribe. Like the bribe that they made with Yash. And what they

didn't show on the episode was that he had already told bear it early in the day about the bribe. But in and that it covered all three icons. But bear didn't believe her. He's like, he kind of thought, like, maybe she's lying. He talked to Drew later. But like, maybe she's like, there's no way it protects all three people. Well, the icons decided to go into the HOH room with everybody, but Taylor there. Taylor eventually does come into the room. And they explain Yash may accept it. This $5,000 bribe to put up the three icon or to not put up the three icons on his next HOH. And it didn't accomplish what they thought it would accomplish. Like literally, Taylor, she got her shades on. She is like, get it. Yeah. Get it. Yeah. The only thing to is that it's like, okay, yeah, 5k. I think Melody was the only one I saw on feeds actually talking about like after taxes, that is like $2,000. Like, she's a different $2,000 to

completely like handcuffs his game. What are you doing? The icons needed to tell the crossovers about this bribe like when it happened. Honestly, because by waiting and then exposing the terms only when you like are trying to like, again, save all the icons, all that does is show that you are icon strong and you are not crossover strong. Exactly. And like, this is just not a productive alliance for truly bear or drool because you're not going to ever value them. Exactly. All you did was show. Drew heard. I hate Yash. Let's bear Yash. Yash is lying. Which I like he is. And which is apparently his right because I do kind of understand the like, you can't lie about what the power is, but you can lie about what agreement you came to. I think that's an interesting wrinkle. But don't lie to I want to see the full document with the

terms and conditions like the original rule says that the bribe is good for the rest of the game. So that kind of doesn't indicate to me that you need to go home. It's still good. What we don't know. It says like, okay, terms, you know, the length of the agreement, what you can lie about. Like I feel like it should just be you can lie about everything or you cannot lie about any of it because it just feels like there's so much great area here like, okay, D can't lie, but Yash can lie because it wasn't his bribe. So he's allowed to do that. But then so if you're in the game, you're kind of like, why are you having to think about the production rules to know, okay, they wouldn't let D lie, but they can let the Yash lie, but but then can lie about what it was. So it's just you've lost the plan when you're focused on what's allowed and what's not allowed. I'm sorry. How is saving three people for the whole week one game action?

Yes, exactly. Yeah. Name actions. Like because each of them say from nominee and veto that's it. It really is. Yes. That is. That is so powerful. For you, like one game action that benefits you individually. Yes. I mean, I think that is what it said. And I mean, like good for D for taking what we all were laughing at as like an absurd like dumb power with no meaning and turning it into something truly game breaking. Like that's very impressive. But like, it's not like, think about it. She really kind of did circumvent all of the things that we thought were negative with the power. Yeah. The week prior, she offered Yash the power to keep her in and off the block. He said, no, he offered her, she offered her the power. Well, just keep me off the block. He said, no. So we're like, it's stupid. You could just say no. No, well, the next week, they can mop your boss strong on him.

The thing is, if I'm Yash in that position, I feel like he should have been like, yeah, that's fine. Nominate me. I'll win the veto or the blockbuster. And then I'm coming back. And I'm going to tell everyone about what you tried to do. Yeah. And then D even confirmed to Drew when they were talking about the power more that even if D is evicted, it's still binding. He still has to hold the other two. Like, he still has to commit to not nominating the other two if he on his next H. Oh, his next H. Oh, yeah. So again, she managed to strong on him into taking it. She managed to deal with not just her, but multiple people say, can you imagine? Like, would production have ever stepped in if she said, hey, I want you to take this and keep me in seven people safe. You know what? Where's the limit? Me in the market. And that's the thing to

like, that at least becomes not mathematically possible a lot faster. So it's like a worse deal. But here's my question. If say, Mallory had won the bribe and she tried to pull this same type of deal, would she have been allowed? Would she have been allowed to say, you have to keep me, Melody and Drew and Barrett safe? Would she have come up with it? Well, no. But that's not the question that I'm asking. Because I think that part of like the survivor DNA is like, oh, you get an advantage. Let me see how I can maximize this advantage to be beneficial. Like, how can I do the like, how can I get this like extra vote? Most useful, right? And so thinking outside of the box. And so that's the thing that not account for is how someone could think outside the box with this BB bribe. And now this is probably why we would never see this power again. I don't

think they're ever doing a BB bribe again after this. I hope not. At least not an open-ended one. Yeah, I think what happens when he's the final HOH and that's his next HOH and it's him D and Melody, final three. Oh my god. I'm so happy. And with Zach's bribe, if I remember correctly, Zach's bribe last last year had like it had guardrails on it. It was like he could bribe the HOH. So he had to give it to the HOH. It was a veto bribe. Yeah, it was a veto bribe. And I believe that they weren't allowed to say no to it. Which is why it's so actually comical that he went out at Prejury. Yeah. I like that one better. Because he could, yeah, because he the Prejury, like they can't say no. And all it does is get him off the block. Like do that version. Bring that version back. Not this version. Yeah. But then even one thing. What do you get Kudos to D? Yeah, Kudos to D. Yes. No kudos to this power. Like Kudos to

D for mentionizing this power because it has become way more powerful than they ever intended it to be. But even in this, Devon tried to take the opportunity to say, oh, and Taylor, Yash tried to get you out. And then you got Melody Giggling. Because she's like, well, I'm the one who voted Taylor out. So that's no void. She's taking it to her grave. No one will know. Yeah. But the good thing is Taylor doesn't care. Taylor, yeah. All this did was submit the nominations. We got to see Barrett put up Angela D and Devon's. We did not expect to see, I mean, the way the season was looking with them in power for 60 days, we thought we'd never see the day that those three faces were on the walls together. And Barrett's nomination ceremony speech was all fine and dandy, you know, talking about them being the best shirts until he said, Yash can't nominate any of you. But guess what? I can. And their faces just dropped. Yeah. I thought it was good. But the

episode I did made it sound like he flopped that line. I was like, oh, this is. Yeah, I don't know. It was like, I don't know. I mean, my cop to me. I think a little weird. Because then it seemed like he opened the floor for discussion. Because now Devon's is trying to say, like, you could stay against us. You would have stayed if you're against us. And then Angela's madty Yash and saying he's lying. She swears on her grandchildren. I will. And okay, this is the part that's so crazy. Because it's like, obviously Barrett isn't necessarily believing Yash's lie because he put you all up because Yash can't. So like, what's the what's the point in even putting it true? Yeah. And why was she telling him to swear on his brother specifically? I think they must have just had conversations about like how close Yash is with his brother. And so she's like, swear on his life, which is again, a psycho thing to do. Yeah, exactly.

Oh, God. But that's not the end of what we're going to see with that. They're going to continue it into Wednesday's episode. If you wear glasses, you know the drill. You don't replace them until you absolutely have to a scratch. That's livable. Lose screw fine. Just try to tighten it with your fingernail and move on because new glasses cost a few hundred dollars.

So what we're going to do right now is we are going to go into spoilers. If you don't want to hear

spoilers tap out now we really enjoyed having you at ladies night. We have the live feed update tomorrow with Terran. We have the round table. We got Slop. We got Wednesday episode coming, Thursday episode coming. So just stay tuned. Just subscribe to the RHAP YouTube channel and get all of that content. Okay, but right now we're going to jump into the spoilers because a lot happened this weekend. Okay. The office of civil defense has issued the following message. This is a spoiler. A spoiler warning means that a actual spoiler against this country has been detected and that protective action should be taken. So over the weekend and thankfully all three of us here at ladies night are contributors to the live feed update. So we're all dead. These weekend feeds. Amazing. So we got on Saturday we got a veto pick which actually had a lot of drama because

Barrett had houseguish choice. He chose Yash and then Angela had houseguish choice and she chose Taylor leaving Drew not chosen and he just was like, I had nobody. Yeah, it's like, Taylor's annoyed because Angela is like, I'm picking you because you're bad basically, which like, okay, Angela glass house throwing a pretty big brick here because you're no like competition beast. And then now Drew is like really realizing the gravity of the situation and just how bad his position is. Like he can't even enjoy being an H.O.H. lockdown with Melody for six hours because he's so upset about the game. Which is absolutely nuts. You would have think that he could have made all sorts of moves there. Melody said all he did was talk about Yash. Like talk about missing an opportunity just like a 22 year old. I will say hearing that

Barrett picked Yash. I was like, I don't that don't make no sense. I was like, Yash, Yash is y'all are tripping. He picked Yash's name out the bag. Yash is miss. Wait, no, really? You think that's the case? Well, no, I think that's why I'm not. Oh, I skitted it out. I was like, oh no, Barrett would never openly pick Yash. And then when they confirmed, I was like, oh my god, his whole chest. What are you doing? I know I love it. I don't think it's that bad. Do you think it was a mistake? I like the choice. I think that he didn't have to do that. If you're going to tell if you're going to tell Drew, I'm going to pick you Drew, then pick Drew. The fact that he didn't come back around to Drew before it happened and be like, oh, actually, Drew, I'm going to pick Yash because he knew Drew would have not liked that. I just think that he shouldn't have told Drew he's going to pick Drew if he wasn't going to pick Drew. The pick itself, I mean, for me, I'm like,

cool, but like, I don't necessarily know if that was best because if you pick Drew, Drew wins or he doesn't win, you still have Yash has that backup option, especially now knowing that he can't nominate an icon. It's one of those things, right? Barrett needs both an icon out and Yash out, but he can't do both. He can't do both. So I guess him picking Yash is actually solidifying with Yash so that it keeps Yash from wanting to win an HOH incoming after him. So it's not that bad. I go back and forth. Barrett, no matter what I think Barrett is getting out and off this week, so that's all that matters. Yeah, I'm glad he committed because I'm glad he committed to wanting an icon out because and it was with how they treated him. That's what lucked him in. How they were treating him that morning was locking in. Okay, I just want to icon out. You can't do both. You can't get four

people out. So at least commit to one category of people and I'm glad that he chose Yash because Yash is not going to use it on an icon. Drew Wood, I don't care what people think. I think Drew, if Drew had one, if Drew had got picked and won, he was using it. He was finding a way to use it. He would he would try to figure out how am I going to get Barrett on board with me using it? Not. Okay, let me see if Barrett wants me to use it. He's already shown his undying loyalty to Devons. So I just thought that there was like no way that Devons was not or that Drew wasn't going to use it and at least he knows if Yash gets it, he's not pulling an icon off. Why would he do that? Yeah, and with Drew, I could believe that Drew would lie and say that he'll do whatever Barrett wants. But I don't like Drew doesn't come across as believable when he tells the truth or when he lies.

He's just got a certain weasel equality about him at this point in his life. And I don't know what he can do to change that in the short medium or long term. He's going to have to work on that. But I can totally understand being like, no, can't trust him. He wants to keep Devons. I will say Barrett hasn't done the best job managing Drew kind of all weekend long. Okay. That being said, I think they'll be fine by Thursday. I mean, I hope so. That would be the one, the one constructive criticism I have for Bluuff for Blue Sky for Barrett is that he too is kind of burning Drew so much so that again, we hear Drew kind of saying that he would now it is a 103 of Drew Barrett and Melody that he would pick Melody over Barrett. So I don't think Barrett is handling Drew so well.

But hopefully if Devons ends up going this week, again, Drew has no choice but to get in lockstep with Barrett and Melody. So but it's just like this whole that the icons have on Drew is just so strong. Yeah, it really is strong. The mist is strong. But I don't even know if it's they're missed. It's like he's missing himself. Has a humiliation, King, because I think that Dr. Ken Merritt's favorite is. I'll say. Yeah. Everybody else thinks it. Have we said who won Vito yet? Oh, no, we okay. Yes, one. Yes, one, the power of Vito. So it's the minted. It was BB comics. He beat Devons by 26 seconds. So that's something that Devons is kind of like stewing with because it's like, dang, what could I have done differently? But he even said Devons was like, there's nothing I could think of that I could have done faster. So it literally was just the speed of it.

And so more than likely, Yasha's not using it because he's not going to risk Taylor going up. And so the one an icon will be going home. Yeah, exactly. Yes, you're hearing here hearing it here. Second, because hopefully you've been listening to Yeah, the anyone who was here for the live feeds, boilers is surely listening to the update. Right. Yeah. And I mean, last night, we, you know, we did get like a little bit of Barrett and Yasha kind of saying that they'll take each other to the final two. I believe this morning, as of like Sunday morning, Barrett was talking to himself and saying like, he will probably ride with Yasha as long as he possibly can. Him still saying that getting out an icon again, it might be a detrimental to his game, but he's like proud of this move. So I mean, like mission mission mission accomplished.

And I have faith in Barrett to win. And he has to. Here's the thing. I don't think I think Barrett, you know, he, he did what he needed to do in making a big move. I don't think by making this big move, he prevented himself from going on the block in future weeks. He's already been on the block. He would have been on the block regardless in the future. Yeah. So I feel like all it did was put some blood on his hands, because what the icons keep saying is two of us are staying. Two of us are staying. So why would he do this? But it's like he had to do something. Y'all, you're saying it yourselves that he, you think he has done nothing. One of them needs, like they need to leave eventually. So like, yeah, sure, two of them are staying, but one of them is definitely going to the jury house and like get over it. We also need to talk about Barrett being Mr. Steal Your Girl this weekend, because that has been giving me life. There was a lengthy conversation Saturday night in the H.O.A.

Droom where Barrett's in the H.O.H. bed, Melody is wearing Barrett's BB Comics T-shirt, and is all snuggled up. And he's like on his arm around, he's like rubbing her shoulder, really, you know, it's active cuddling, you know, it's not passive. And it's intimate. It's intimate. And Drew is sitting in the Cuck chair in the H.O.A. Droom watching it happen. Yes. And it was like like zooming in on the, the, the, the, the caressant. I don't even know the hand. Yes. The hand caressant. And Drew was mad about it. He was like, he was like, Hey, anybody want to go walk outside? No, and then when Melody and when the Melody Rourers were ending at the end of the night outside, he's like, Oh, you need to go kiss Barrett can night before bed. And Melody's like, yeah, maybe I will. Like, I'll go to the bed. Oh, she knows how to get under his skin. She knows what she's doing.

Yeah, capturing that man. Yeah. That's why it would be really interesting to see how much influence he has with like a melody, H.O.H. If we were to ever see that. I don't think a lot. She in this episode said like, I hope Barrett does the right thing and not a bitch move. Like Drew did last week. Like, I don't think that she would listen to him. I know. But will that be eye opening for him? Is he going to be like, no, you think he, he recognized that. Marie said that he has kicked puppy syndrome. He likes it. He's going to be like, I hope Melody wins H.O.H. He can put on her high heels and step on me. Step on me. Right here. I would say I said. And he would be just fine with it. There was one of the one night this weekend, D was doing like, say, stay for Barrett and Drew. And like, I think Barrett was playing along, but I think Drew liked it a little too much.

It was wild. Like I get missing your animals. That would be me. That would be you. I wouldn't do that with them. No, I get missing your animals. I don't get role playing with the house. Yes. As your animals. I don't know. You should just say that. Barrett. So bring back the animal, the dog in the house, like they did at BB 16. Oh my God. When they brought the kangaroos and the British Bulldogs into BB can for was so cute. Yeah. It was. No, we need people cutthroat and mad at each other. Right. All right. Anything else from the feeds? Anything else from this episode tonight that we want to discuss here on ladies night. I think I will. I will say. Yeah, we did it, but I will say this was really fun. I'm so glad

that we got to talk about Barrett winning HOH. We got to talk about a big move against the icons because again, this is this is huge. This is season redirecting. And the fact that, you know, we're allowed to do it three of us. It's great. This is fun. We did it. Yeah. This is how we win. I think that pretty much the only content from Rahab Khan that hasn't come out yet was the special edition, pod friends, the women of RHAP that obviously Marie co-chaired the panel with Matt Scott. It was so amazing. And I can't wait for it to be released to everyone who wasn't there can hear it because I think it was a really productive and great conversation. But during that, Asia brought up BB Ladies Night, which we had done once in the past when Taren and Rob were both unavailable. And then they, listen, close mouths don't get fed. We asked them. We're here.

You asked them. Imagine we just like hopped on here Rob had no idea. I think we won the Stream Yard. You're right. Oh, I do think we have a question. Did any of you guys get some of the BB comics? I don't know. Not to compare like a favorite. The only ones that I've really caught because I've been a little bit less locked in today than I was the rest of the weekend is that D's was D's nuts, which is actually insane. But okay, I believe yeah, she was the D Shroyer. And it was like the where D's nuts. And it's like D's nuts, like D is nuts. So they were following her crazy. And then I think they said Barrett's was the Austin Gangler. Yeah. Which is like people are like, oh, they're comparing him to a serial killer. Yeah, I mean, they've done this is a show that's done like several Ty Bundy or Lino not Ty Bundy. Um,

Jack Berthium, sorry, Jack, uh, every serial killer is all swirling in my brain. Um, the chat is bringing up a good point. We should talk about the cease fire, which is the alliance of all the newbies got together and said like, let's get the three vets out. This is a newbie is winning the season. It's like, yeah, but you also have Drew in that room who has said he has no interest in getting to know Yash and Taylor personally. Like his disdain for them is kind of wild. And it's a huge hindrance in this actually being real from Drew's perspective because he just refuses to actually get to know them, actually bond with them, actually start to like them for whatever reason. So I feel like that's the loose screw in this actually being something that they could see through to the end of the game. Yeah. Yeah. I think in Barrett's cam talk that I was talking about he said he wanted to do the newbie ceasefire, but he really didn't plan to like,

like immediately Yash and Taylor said, yeah, that's great, but we're targeting Drew like next week. And then, you know, Drew has always said he's going to target Yash. So I mean, it was nice lip service, uh, but I, I don't think it's really going to, gonna pull. Yeah, absolutely. Uh, and then Angela and D have been like really trying to get something going with Yash and Taylor, which is a lot harder when you haven't been, um, fostering personal relationships through the whole entire like that. What's your last name again? No, because that's Barrett's superpowers are his relationships and his patients. And he had such good personal relationships with everyone that he can then turn them into game relationships when he needs to, which is really, really powerful, especially considering that he is patient and willing to wait out until the moment is like as right as possible, whereas just like, Angela and D have not built those relationships. So it's just not

something that's going to work out while Taylor has been one of the most like anti that people in the house. Yeah. So it's, it's just not going to happen, but it is. And Drew is still an extension of the icons to Yash and Taylor. Yeah. So if one icon leaves this week, if Yash or Taylor, or let's say Taylor, if Taylor wins HOH, it could very easily see her putting up the remaining two icons, plus Drew. Mm-hmm. So, yeah, which would make sense? Yeah. He's made himself a very natural person to be nominated alongside them, which is, um, very good. Exactly. Um, all right. This is, this has been so, so, so much fun. Kirsten, tell everybody where they can find you. Yes, you can follow me everywhere at Kirsten said what I talk about Big Brother the most on Blue Sky.
