BB26 First Eviction Recap, Ep 5

BB26 First Eviction Recap, Ep 5

Today, Rob Cesternino, Taran Armstrong, Aman Adwin, and Maggie Morgan break down the Thursday night episode of Big Brother Season 26.

[00:00:08] Hey everybody, what's going on? Rob Sestradino back here for Thursday Night Eviction number one. We've got a recap of AI Arena and the first player voted out of Big Brother 26.

[00:00:23] It ends up being Matt and we will react to all of that and much more here tonight with you. And of course back with us, Taren Armstrong. Taren, how are you? I'm excited, Rob. We had, this was an interesting episode, but I think a pretty good one overall.

[00:00:42] And tomorrow we're going to be talking to Matt. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Which will push the update to noon tomorrow. Just so everyone knows, live feed update tomorrow at noon.

[00:00:56] OK, yeah. So Taren and I will get the chance to speak with Matt on his first morning out of the house. So make sure you're subscribed to hear our interview with Matt and then check out the live feed update one hour later.

[00:01:11] OK, back with us, I believe for the first time since the draft, it's Amon Adwin. Amon, how are you? I am fantastic, Rob. This has been such a fun ride so far. I'm like still kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop.

[00:01:25] But then I realized that the shoe dropped first when they got rid of the flashback. So I'm just taking what I can get at this point. And I'm having a pretty good time. So excited to be back in here for the first eviction, baby. First eviction, baby.

[00:01:38] It's a big night, of course, coming off of an appearance on the roundtable this week. Of course, the great Maggie Morgan. Maggie, how are you? Rob, I'm so good. When Big Brother is good, it is so good. And there's just nothing like it. I really mean it.

[00:01:57] Out of all of these stupid shows that we watch, Good Big Brother is the best of them all. And what a week we've had. What a week. Yeah, I mean, it is wild. We think about it.

[00:02:09] The show has only been on for eight days and it's been a lot. For Taryn, it's been 84 years, maybe that since Big Brother 26 kicked off. But we've had a lot. I will say ultimately, probably a better first half of the episode than the second half of the episode.

[00:02:28] I completely disagree. OK, good. Happy to talk about it, because ultimately we had Kimo wins the AI arena. Taryn, you had to have been happy with the comp, right? Yes, it was. It was exactly, I think, what we hoped for. We saw a preview of it earlier today.

[00:02:48] Obviously, like the way that these competitions can sometimes work is that the physical component is much more important than the mental component. We very clearly saw that that was not the case with this competition. It was very difficult and the results showed that.

[00:03:01] And so what a fun one. OK, we'll talk more about it here tonight and also take your questions here in the chat. But ultimately, we end up with Matt and Kenny on the block. And does anybody even want to stay in the Big Brother house?

[00:03:18] Come on, you guys. Fight for it, losers. I mean, you know, I was at least pleased with the fact that we got that DR from Kenny stating how fired up he was after that little bout with Angela, because the overarching narrative

[00:03:36] for the majority of the week was that he was just like, OK, you know what? Like, if I have to follow my sword for Matt, it's fine. I'm fine to go back to Boston and see my beautiful wife and beautiful family. I was like, no, wake up.

[00:03:48] Like, you are on the show, buddy. Like we don't it's it's it doesn't it doesn't hit that's the way that I feel like most people feel like it sounds when they say stuff like that. Like, I have a good life outside. I'll be OK.

[00:04:00] No, I don't care about your good life outside. I care about your bad life in the Big Brother house. So I want to see the show. Also, like nobody has ever been like, I need to go home

[00:04:09] because I miss my family when they're doing well at Big Brother. Like it's only when they're down on their luck that they're suddenly like, you know what? Got to go back to the wife and kids like, OK, sorry. Well, if you win H.O.H.

[00:04:27] next week and suddenly you're in all the alliances and you see a path to winning and it's fun again. Guess who's not going to be saying that? Like I hate that excuse just because it's like just say it

[00:04:39] like you're bummed out that you're doing bad, you know, just say that. And hey, not saying I could do any better. I don't know. I'm not in there. But like you're not missing your wife. You're bummed out that you're on the block and you feel defeated.

[00:04:53] Yeah. OK, let's start with the eviction of Matt, who ends up sort of like being at the center of all of the drama here. Although this was the expected result if Matt ultimately sat on one of the chairs when they got to vote.

[00:05:13] Darren, how does the house change after this? After Matt leaves? Yeah. I mean, it kind of doesn't. Like that's kind of what the episodes missed is that this was status quo. This was what they all wanted from the start.

[00:05:29] The entire first half of this episode was entirely fabricated in terms of like, you know, repeating the events of what was happening in the game from the second from even before Matt was nominated. They all wanted Matt out or at least the vast majority of them did.

[00:05:46] And so Matt leaving means that they succeeded and they will continue on with pretty much all of their plans, apart from Lisa, Leah and Mackenzie, who did not know. Sure. But, Taryn, they at least did include all the DRs

[00:06:00] from all the people being like, well, yeah, if Matt's on the block, you vote him out. Like, what do you mean he has the votes? And they just didn't show the parts where they all got together and they're like, we're not voting for him. Right.

[00:06:11] Like at least that was, you know, they weren't just like, oh, we love Matt. We're going to keep him like I'm totally loyal to the barbershop. At least they included those DRs of people being like, well,

[00:06:22] I don't want to stick out right now because that is sort of the tone of the house right now. Right. Well, I don't I don't think so. I think that all of them or at least like there are a couple

[00:06:31] that are like, I want to vote with the house. And the irony is that those people were the ones that either did vote for Matt to stay or came close to voting for Matt to stay. Those dioramas to me felt like the absolute bare minimum

[00:06:43] that they felt like they could get away with in terms of showing why Matt left. Because it wasn't like, oh, well, I guess if he's on the block, you should vote him out. It was like, no, we actively want him out.

[00:06:53] We campaigned to make sure he went on the block. We don't like the way that he plays the game, the way that he interacts with us. And the BS alliance is BS and has been from the start. There's a very funny story about that.

[00:07:07] And I think that's the thing that's been really interesting about the way that Matt has been from the start. There's a very funny segment that they could have with that. And yet they chose to play it straight, which is wild to me.

[00:07:19] I thought that I got it. I'm on. Like I was going to say, I really thought that he was probably going to end up staying only because I thought there was going to be like some shenanigans

[00:07:29] from production in terms of that AI comp, because the comp I really liked. But we're not counting how many times those people really show up. It's going to be the right answer, because that it was so like, oh, my God, look at the show.

[00:07:39] Yeah, this is a good point. I really was wondering last night, are we going to get a very like heavy like thing on the scale comp for Matt to ultimately win here? Not only was the comp pretty fair, they also didn't just say

[00:08:00] I don't remember who he ultimately said of his T-Corp, I think that was the most faces they you know, they played it straight. So good job to production. Rob, you know, people would be like screenshotting every every frame and counting to make sure. That's true. Flashbacks. That's true.

[00:08:18] Yeah. But Helen was still pushed, you know? They know she was. Yeah. And then so did Matt know was Matt blindsided? So last night he did sort of like. Be like, oh, man, theoretically, this could be my last night in the house

[00:08:38] and did a little more like campaigning, like starting to feel actually nervous, like reality is actually coming. So I bet if you asked him, he'd be like, I had a feeling. But I do not know. Yeah. Nobody had a better idea.

[00:08:54] Yeah. Like if he knew like there wouldn't have been an eight three vote, like Lisa would not have voted for Matt to say Lisa was out. Lisa was outright told that that people were voting Matt out. She just didn't believe it.

[00:09:04] And so she ends up on the wrong side of the vote, despite being the person who wanted the most to be on the right side of the vote. Maggie, nobody had a better night tonight than. The guy that McKenzie is in a situation ship with

[00:09:17] that guy is like dumping Gatorade on his head tonight comes out the big winner from tonight's episode, right? Absolutely. Absolutely. Also, I saw like a clip from the live feeds on Twitter of Matt being like,

[00:09:34] so like talking to McKenzie, he was like, so like after this is over, like we're going to hang out. Right. And she was like, yeah, I think I'm going to hang out with everybody from the house. And he was like. What? Like I'm sorry about us.

[00:09:47] And she's like, oh, well, you know, like I like everybody. So I think that maybe McKenzie, I don't know how far this MJ Matt thing is going to go. Playing hard to get. Yeah. It was I really couldn't tell.

[00:10:02] It was like no wonder dating in my age group is so hard, because even I was confused about what McKenzie really wanted. Because in the D.R., she's like, oh, well, you know, my walls are coming down. Like he just needs to keep going like and it's fine.

[00:10:15] But like on screen, she's like. And on feed, she's like. She literally she literally was like, please take this as a challenge, Matt. Like like I think she wants the pursual. Oh, man. Well, I mean, I don't know, Rob, maybe

[00:10:31] maybe the guy that's out here for him, I don't know if this is a win for him, because like if you're acting that friendly with someone that I'm probably assuming I'm a better guy, then like you can keep his coming into the house.

[00:10:42] Her package was like, yeah, I'm single. Like I'm hoping to meet a guy here. Like is he six five? It's like the other one is a joke to you. Is he not six five? Is he like short and pale, not tall, dark and handsome?

[00:10:55] Like I don't know. Yeah. OK, we got to see a little bit of the workings of A.I. Arena and how it goes. Interestingly, it seems like that the contestants are not able to watch A.I.

[00:11:09] Arena and they are just basically waiting to see the reaction on this. I thought that that was a little interesting. Terry, you surprised I didn't let them watch it like on the spy screen. I think it was so much better that they didn't because getting to see

[00:11:23] their genuine reactions to. Matt's on the block still. Let's go. Yeah. Like full on celebration as Matt walks down the stairs and joins them. That was all for Matt. That wasn't a pro chemo or a little pro chemo. They will say it is.

[00:11:43] But yes, that was definitely for the fact that Matt was still on the block. Yeah. Mike, Mike Bloom tweeted and was like, Angela looks like a contestant on Let's Make a Deal. And she did. She was like, oh, like she was.

[00:11:57] Are you sure this wasn't a clip of Angela on Let's Make a Deal? No. Because wasn't she on Price is right. It's going to be a deal. And she won. Yeah. Oh, I thought she was on Price is right. She was also on Price is right and lost.

[00:12:10] Oh, my gosh. Angela, she's everywhere. She's everywhere. Yeah. Especially in my heart. Rob, you know. You know. Oh, no. I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled for Angela here tonight for her to be able to get her target out. So it's a great night for Angela and hopefully,

[00:12:28] Darren, you feel like that that frames the week for her differently of like, OK, she put Matt up on the block. He that she then she used or with the veto. He went home like this. She come away with like a little bit like able to save face

[00:12:43] after this first week. I mean, I don't know about saving face. It's certainly better for her that Matt's not in the game. He was going to be gunning for her. But what I can tell you, Rob, is that in Angela's head right now, she's thinking.

[00:12:58] I did it. Mm hmm. Matt had the whole house and my call out worked. I got crazy eyes out of the house. That was all me. My power. High budget performance. Mm hmm. Yeah, yeah. You just keep telling yourself that you just keep watching that movie.

[00:13:19] And I saw I saw the funniest meme. Somebody tweeted it last night and it's a still from SpongeBob in the episode where he's trying to hunt down the maniac. And it says wanted maniac behind him. And it's a photo of him.

[00:13:35] And they said, this is Angela in the house this week. And like, yes, she is just so it's it's this runaway train that she just can't seem to grasp on to. And she can't she she's not looking left to right to realize

[00:13:51] that she is the one who is causing all of this for herself. It's so brilliant. It's it's chef's kiss. Perfect. And I don't know, Rob, like back to your question. I don't know if like this helps her in any way.

[00:14:04] I mean, I I feel like a lot of the other house guests aren't really going to attribute this to Angela. This went to a tribute to them working around Angela to still make this happen. So, yeah, I mean, it's great that she got her target out and everything.

[00:14:18] But like the stink of I need to walk around eggshells around this person. I don't think that really ever is going to go away with her. I mean, she blew up with Matt. She blew up with Kenny. It's like, who's next?

[00:14:29] So I just feel like from this point forward, they're going to try to, like, you know, involve her, but only to a certain extent. Let's bring in the Angela and Kenny of it all, because I think that

[00:14:39] that'll set us up for then Kenny and Matt on the block together. And this was the clip that was from today that was going around about, OK, Angela's like, all right, Kenny, it's go time. I'm counting on you to kick his butt. And he's like, no, I can't.

[00:14:59] That's my guy. It's it was just so disingenuous in her part because you put him up in the first place. So I was so glad that Kenny was like, why would I want to talk to you about this? I'm up here because you did this.

[00:15:11] And the fact that like you were rooting for him to go home originally before the whole Matt thing, like he was your number one target. He was the house's target. And I'm Kenny. I know I said a lot of bad about you before, but it's fine.

[00:15:23] You need to beat this guy. Well, we we saw that at least Kenny was genuine by his embrace with Matt when it was the two of them on the block. Yeah. Oh, no. He wasn't fooling around. But we saw Angela really got into it

[00:15:42] with Kenny and she was furious with him, Taryn, that he had no desire to fight in the arena. Kenny, he's not your son. Yeah, I love that. He's not your son. Kenny was so offended by that. That was my favorite part was Kenny being like,

[00:16:03] I can't believe she disrespected me by saying that he's not my son, which he isn't, but he is the son of somebody I respect. And I don't know that person, but I do respect them because they're also a cop. You couldn't write that. No. Follow the logic.

[00:16:26] Where's the line? Where's the call out? Like that. Yeah, I mean, this week has been Shakespeare. Yeah, it's it's been I'm telling you, it doesn't get any better than this. I know this isn't it.

[00:16:45] While that both of Matt's parents have been such a big part of this week one, both his mom and his dad have been referenced constantly. So I'm curious. Who's parents are going to be the stars of next week? Maybe it will be parents. Rooker versus Angela.

[00:17:09] Yeah, the married moms for sure. Yeah. Quinn was great during that. He had some really fun lines about that. He's known him for a week. A week. It's always so sobering.

[00:17:28] It's so sobering when we get these moments in Big Brother or Survivor or any reality competition show where you place people for the first time in an enclosed environment together and they've grown so close to the fact that you're willing to give up.

[00:17:41] It's like it's been seven whole days. Not even like, come on. Like, what are we doing here? Come on. And what they didn't even show in the episode is that like two days prior, Matt was actively campaigning for Kenny to be the one voted out.

[00:17:59] Like they didn't even have a good close relationship. It was literally just Kenny assuming that they had a connection, I guess because of the weird like, you know, Game of Thrones ask a family tree that they followed.

[00:18:16] But like how was Matt to know that Kenny respected Matt's father because he was a cop? He's not a cop to everybody. That's true. Right. Like, so how was Matt to even know? He didn't say he was a food truck driver. Yeah. Exactly.

[00:18:32] How was Matt, just like his private feelings about Matt's parents. So I get it that Kenny felt some type of way about Matt, but it seemed like it was very much reciprocated by Matt when they both sat in each other's arms on the nomination chairs.

[00:18:49] I've never seen a scene like that. It eventually became reciprocated in the sense that once Kenny said he wanted to give up his game for Matt, Matt was like, oh, I guess I guess I do like him. Yeah.

[00:19:01] I mean, getting yelled at by Angela, it brings people together. I mean, what can I tell you? Yeah. You know? All right. So after the AI arena, I thought this was so embarrassing for Kenny and for Matt.

[00:19:14] When they came back into the house, Julie is like, all right, everybody, this is your time. Maybe they didn't know that this was like, OK, this is what you're supposed to do. But they just stood there and gave their speeches that they had planned to the whole house.

[00:19:30] Like there's no urgency, nothing. This is on production, I think. Because they clearly weren't prepped for what this would be. And also the idea, like, listen, I'm I'm all for it. Make this like a double eviction. Have them go do one on ones in rooms.

[00:19:47] That sounds like a lot of fun to me. But to say you have 60 seconds to go pull people into rooms based to talk about a vote that people have prepared for. It's not as as Kimo pointed out, it's not a million different options. It's only three.

[00:20:03] Yeah, it's not going to happen. It's like, you know, it would take somebody 30 seconds to grab someone and walk to a room and then another 30 seconds to walk back to the living room. So like there's no time to actually do what they want them to.

[00:20:20] I think this was just poorly planned from production. It's very awkward. Yeah, they should have put a commercial break in there. And then, you know, we could have seen them whispering and chatting and all of that.

[00:20:31] Yeah, it felt like they were trying to manufacture the energy of like a double eviction where we ought. Yeah, I mean, I think it's like a lot of people are like, oh, we're going to have a lot of time because we've done this before.

[00:20:41] But they don't really necessarily know what's going to be like. They're just like, oh, OK, we lost. I already know that I'm going to have time to talk to you guys during the 60 seconds of each of our speeches. So why would I spend this time?

[00:20:53] And plus, you guys are all cheering. It's like the only way they could have twisted the knife is like if they had waited, they made them wait to figure out who won the comp until all three of them were back in the living room.

[00:21:03] Y'all really want me gone. This is crazy. Not to mention the fact that like the mascot costumes were acting as like linebackers blocking half the house from access in the first. Yes. Yes, Taryn. I was like, oh my gosh, production totally like shot themselves in the foot here.

[00:21:18] We have no sight lines like none. They're literally linebackers. It's half the set. It's covering the the cameras. It was crazy. I kind of loved it. This is definitely one of those clips that you put on Twitter and you're like, this is the show that I enjoy.

[00:21:36] You just have two floppy disks running around a living room, everyone else jumping up and down, hugging one another. And then we're looking dejected in the corner. Cut to the fish tank for like 30 seconds. Oh, and people just standing there.

[00:21:50] What was Joseph doing in the little in the hallway? Yeah. That was so embarrassing. Like he was really feeling himself like I've never seen nobody feel themselves before. It was like he was up for the first time.

[00:22:07] He was waiting for them to tell him that he was able to leave. But why do you think that's what it was? Because I thought I thought he was like being like irreverent of like, oh, I'm just going to stay here during the live show.

[00:22:19] I don't think very much. Is there like a mic in there? Is there a mic in that room to tell them like, hey, what are you doing? Keep it moving. Because if not, like, that's crazy. Yeah.

[00:22:29] And Julie and Julie didn't say because usually Julie would come out and be like Joseph, Joseph. And she just went. I thought that they were going to she was going to read the votes. And Joseph was like a walk across the room during that.

[00:22:43] I was like, is he trying to have like an iconic moment? Is he trying to come after the votes are read? Like I was like, yeah, because he seems the type he does. Yes. First live show of the season. We're working the kinks out also.

[00:22:54] An hour earlier, everybody's a little thrown off, I guess, for live show number one. I think also the pacing was very different here with the A.I. arena of that. They ended the show on the interview with Matt.

[00:23:08] I was a little worried they weren't going to be able to get it into this episode. So a lot of stuff we'll see if in week two they end up sorting some of this stuff out. But definitely some wild moments from eviction number one.

[00:23:25] And we also like we need to bring back goodbye messages like I get that we're cutting for time here and there. I have to watch them on Instagram, Taryn. It's it's a part of the show. It's it's I think a necessary part of the show.

[00:23:38] They provide closure on like the various relationships. And let's be very honest with ourselves. We needed Angela's goodbye message to Matt in our lives. And now it's not there. Yeah, yeah. Hopefully, you know, easy to track down tomorrow and see what she said.

[00:23:57] Anybody else that were especially interested to see what they said to Matt? Do you think Kenny cried? Maybe I just I just feel like I would rather see goodbye messages than than whatever this is. Love one another. She brought Matt in.

[00:24:20] He's I think the first house guest to help close out the show. But Taylor is saying there's no speaker in that hallway. It's the one spot that production can't communicate with you. So maybe there was some legitimate miscommunication there with Joseph.

[00:24:46] The commercial platform Shopify revolutionized millions of companies worldwide. With Shopify, you can create your own online shop. Without any programming or design knowledge. Thanks to the efficient setup and intuitive social media and online marketplace integration, you can advertise and sell via Instagram, eBay and Co.

[00:25:07] Reaching new target groups has never been so easy. Shopify beat it off. I know I'm singing, singing platform, a little some time online business off to bond. Costing those testing on time business developed present here and Shopify punked the ish rich, rich tribe is often

[00:25:24] and for shopping for punked the ish rich, rich tribe and given on plus laying made for Germany powered by Shopify. Let's talk about we had those speeches. I'm sorry, but just Joseph having to run out of the diary room hallway

[00:25:41] and get past the linebacker costumes like like just leaping through to get back as Julie's like reading the vote count was one of the best live fiction. I love Big Brother. I think you guys did like a if I'm not mistaken with years ago,

[00:26:01] you guys did like a crazy or weirdest or most awkward Julie Chen moment. That's a deep hole. Yes. And so it's been quite some time. This is definitely going to get added to the list because it was we added to the list.

[00:26:16] What is throwing it to the end of the show with Matt? For sure. Yeah. I felt like the whole thing was just a little. I think that it came out of that. Matt told the story about Matt's mom and about how she

[00:26:33] he talked about how his mom came to this country in 1993 and Julie Chen was one of the first women that she saw, and it was very impactful. But I looked on Wikipedia, I don't know if the math is mathing on that story. Oh, no, Rob, don't do this.

[00:26:53] Don't do it. I'm not saying that. I'm sure Julie Chen was a very impactful figure for Matt's mom. I think that Julie, unless that she was like way down the rabbit hole, I think that Julie Chen, I think, was like a news intern in 1993.

[00:27:13] Didn't really rise to national prominence till like 98, 99. I think that's fair. Maybe the story is maybe more vibes than actually. Yeah, probably more vibes and actual timeline. That's probably when he got a little older, he was able to realize

[00:27:30] that's like what was going on with Julie Chen and his mom. So he may also just be bad at math. Yeah. Unless his mom knew her personally. Hey, you never know. Also, like Julie did, but I feel like a lot of Matt's stories

[00:27:44] are just kind of vibes like that. You know what I mean? So I think that we can just chalk that one up to vibes. Also, the fact that like Julie is just so Chen bot, like she couldn't even when he said that she had to be like,

[00:27:57] yes, an audience for context. What he's saying is his mother is Filipino and she's a fellow Asian like me. I was like, Julie, can't you just be like, wow, I was just like, just say thank you. Just say thank you.

[00:28:11] I mean, I'm glad I'm glad in a way. I mean, maybe it's good that she did provide a little context because I don't necessarily know if everyone is like remembering that Matt is half white, half Filipino. I don't know. Maybe not. Maybe they are.

[00:28:22] But the casual audience certainly does not. So it probably went right over their heads. But still, even after the fact, you could have at least been. That's very kind of you to say thank you. I don't understand why it had to be.

[00:28:33] And then he gets to say love one another. I think that was her way of making it up to him because she was like, oops, I didn't acknowledge that in a way maybe I should have. I mean, his speech was just it was amazing to her.

[00:28:48] That's not a biblical to me. Just saying. Very biblical. So what did he say that was biblical? I think the forgiveness part that I will forgive you regardless. Yes. So that Angela's face during that her state. Yes. Oh, that Matt said to Angela and Angela before everybody here.

[00:29:08] I forgive you despite if you ask for it or not. I always will. Every single time. Wow. I don't know if he like knows what the word means, though, because he did definitely like make some big digs at her in that speech. Mm hmm. Yeah.

[00:29:27] So, yeah, Matt and Kenny, they save. They're not going to campaign in the allotted time. They're going to save it all for their speeches. But it did not seem like anybody in the house was particularly moved. And they neither of them seemed like that they had any particular

[00:29:45] or fire under them in their speeches. So I guess it's just. I guess it was Matt and Kenny, who I guess is the one who's the one who's the one who's the one to leave, right?

[00:29:55] Well, no, I can't. He thought he was leaving and Matt thought he was. And he was fine with it. So was Matt. Yeah. So, yeah, Kenny said he wants to do what's best for the game. Was that him saying that he was going to leave?

[00:30:12] That's what it felt like. That's the subtext that I got from it. So like I, I don't know. And quite frankly, I don't think that Kenny even knows. He's been so out of the loop the entire week. I think it's I'm willing to just let him have it.

[00:30:26] Let's say here for a second, like what a dud. Are you really like? You know, I was willing to suspend the disbelief of like, all right, we're going to do the undercover cop thing again. OK, all right. I mean, this guy kind of looks like he's a cop.

[00:30:42] OK, but this guy must be he must be such a such a casting star that they had to do this again. And he's such a that with all due respect, such a zero. Rob, I just want to say you never know

[00:31:04] what can come of the person that you find to be a zero on the season. Yeah. Then you might end up with a moment. I guess so. I guess so. Look, I mean, I like it's not even like, oh, I'm against like

[00:31:18] I don't like them because he's a police officer. No, no. I don't like him because he's very boring and bad TV. Maybe what's happening is that everybody is starting to say that their police officers in the casting, because they know the casting

[00:31:34] don't do no real damn research. Right. So you're saying if I say that I am, that's going to get me on the show. But there's no there's nothing substantive to really keep them on the show. You know what? I'm a start saying I went to Texas A&M

[00:31:44] because I'm not going to check that shit. So I thought you get on the show these days. OK. Yeah, I know. What did they see? Police, the Boston accent. And there's a lot of police officers. There's a lot of people from Boston.

[00:32:01] I don't know how many of them are undercover, Rob. I don't know. Is he totally just like checked out that he got there? Rob, you know, everyone can't be summer of Steve. Twenty eighteen. Summer of Steve was, you know, Frankie Grande compared to Kenny. He was Mr. Personality.

[00:32:24] Raising the bar. Not every old guy cop is going to give us the intense personality of Summer of Steve. Yeah. All right. Well, I would have been thrilled. I would have liked it if Matt would have won the AI comp

[00:32:40] and that they could have voted out Kenny, because at least Matt was bringing something to the to the table here. See, this is where I disagree, though, because I think the failure of the first half of this episode was just how far they're going out of their way

[00:32:54] to edit around Matt and make him the hero of the story. And if if he stayed and we continued to get sure it was playing with fire, I get it. I understand. But just there's no what is the upside here to keep Kenny around? We got 14 other players.

[00:33:12] Kenny can slide into the background and we can focus on those 14 players. I'd much rather have that than Matt standing in front of those 14 players. OK, fair enough. All right. Let's get to the votes tonight. OK, a couple of interesting votes to talk about. We had.

[00:33:32] Kimo voted to Matt, Lisa comes into the diary room and my vote is for Kenny. You vote to evict Kenny. I vote to evict Kenny. Well, we don't even know what to say. That to me was very much like Julie, like you.

[00:33:53] Wait, you're they did tell you that they're voting out, Matt. You're still you are you're voting. OK. All right. Julie's Julie wants people wants to vote with the house. OK, yeah. Then we had everybody else, sadly or not so sadly, voting to evict Matt.

[00:34:16] Maggie, any other votes stand out to you? Well, yes. Our dear friend Zach Wurtenberger got another stray tonight from our other friend Quinn. You know how hysterical I hope if you're watching this and you're on BB27, let's keep it going. Let's let's go. Yeah.

[00:34:39] You know, he said beat you, Zach. Yep. I didn't even have to. He said exactly this. Beat you too, Zach. That's rude. That's rude. It gets better. It gets better because Zach went on Twitter and he he tweeted out an image.

[00:34:59] Yeah, where he had he's actually had an email exchange with Quinn. Yes. In 2023. I assume that this came from a request by Quinn. He was, I assume, trying to find Dan Giesling's how a normal guy got cast on reality television. Yeah. Let's see. Enhance, enhance, enhance.

[00:35:23] It's hard to find that book now. Life. OK, yes. And Zach went ahead and sent Quinn a pirated copy. Oh, wow. In 2023, which then allowed Quinn to get cast on the show and then go on to say beat you too, Zach.

[00:35:44] So Zach has said this is the biggest mistake of my life. Will these big brother contestants stop bullying Zach Wurtenberger? No, I mean, Zach is getting there. I mean, Zach is getting the last laugh, OK? Even with Quinn, because now he's been on two seasons of Big Brother.

[00:35:58] OK, that's true. Last time I checked, Corey was only on one. It's truly like that meme of Nene being like, no, what am I in it? Like, that's truly how I felt for poor Zach tonight. I mean, he should have known that was coming with this response.

[00:36:13] Like you are a gentleman and a scholar. Most sincerity, Quinneth. That just sounds like somebody who is not serious. This person is very unserious. Yeah, he's probably been the star in the diary room so far. For sure.

[00:36:31] Yeah, he had another one with Kenny that was funny also tonight. Man, Maddie's so cool. I got to put him first over me, my family, my food truck. He is ahead of the food truck, I believe. At least that exists. Why am I in it? Yeah.

[00:36:50] OK, Matt, you are evicted from the house. Long goodbye with Mackenzie. Oh, Julie asked the question later. What did you whisper to Mackenzie? What did you tell her? Train of thought? Yes. You had to ask him again. He basically said our story is not over, Aman. Battle back.

[00:37:21] Look, we're interviewing him tomorrow, so probably not. I am not like a I don't know. I'm not opposed to having him in the house longer and for this to proliferate. I'm really not because this show meant to me is actually kind of like

[00:37:41] cringy in the best way possible. I kind of like the train wreck of it all that I can't look away. So like I'm kind of actually sad that we don't get to see where this goes,

[00:37:50] because I feel like Mackenzie was just going to continue to play hard to get. He was going to continue to embarrass himself. And I was going to love to watch the entire thing. So I'm kind of miffed, to be honest.

[00:37:59] That portion of it would have been over in a week and they would have been hanging out in the HOH room for half the season. And, you know, Rob, what I loved about this exchange is that Julie asked him, what did you say?

[00:38:12] And he says, I told her that my that our story wasn't over. And then Julie gave the facial reaction equivalent of this. Yeah. Oh, I love it. She's like. Story's not over yet. Terran, what do you think happens with Mackenzie after this? As far as BB 26 is concerned?

[00:38:37] Well, we saw her at the end of this episode. She's vowing vengeance. So they're going to do it for Matt. Sorry, I thought Rob was like, what do you think happens for Matt and Mackenzie? No, well, I think really this will depend.

[00:38:53] I'll tell you what's going to happen if Mackenzie makes the jury probably nothing. And if she doesn't make the jury, I think that they're like like all over Instagram and social media. They'll be battling Jag on Tick Tock Live. Yeah, basically there's two two general paths.

[00:39:17] There's there's like, oh, the first boot gets completely forgotten and nobody ever talks about them. Or, you know, there's like the Gina Marie and she could be, you know, keeping or I guess you could also say now more recently, the Matt

[00:39:35] where you can be talking about that person or tip shrine for Matt. Do you think Ryan's and then once you get out of the season, you say, oh yeah, I never liked her anyway. I don't even know what you're talking about.

[00:39:48] I feel like they both have short enough attention spans that this is just going to fizzle. Yeah, I mean, we might see a little something at the end and that'll be about it. Maybe I wouldn't be surprised. Like, do we do we see Matt with any other premerge

[00:40:01] Big Brother contestants anytime soon? Probably. Mark that with a so. OK, all right. Matt comes out and talks to Julie. All right. How are you feeling? And he talked about how like, well, you know, I just came here because,

[00:40:19] you know, I had, you know, my story, I was here about something bigger and I was here to tell that story. I don't I didn't really get that story. Man, I'm sorry to Matt. I mean, he only really told it to Angela. Yeah, what I remember.

[00:40:34] But if you watch the live feeds at that exact moment that he said it, you got it right. Right. You got it. And I don't think he really tried to talk about it too much with anybody else. So it's like, I mean, not like.

[00:40:46] Yeah. And Taryn probably retold it on one of the live feed updates. Well, I mean, I did say that he said it, but I don't know that I read. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I mean, look, I'm not here to besmirch anybody's, you know,

[00:41:02] life journey and whatever it is that they want to share with us on the show. But, you know, I don't know. But but go to play. Yeah, exactly. I mean, I feel like we're going to be there for the right reasons.

[00:41:15] And for you to pull it out only when you are in trouble. I'm like, I don't know about that. That's a little. You want to tell your story right now? I'm like, I don't know. I'm like, I don't know. I'm like, I don't know.

[00:41:26] You want to tell your story, write a book. Yeah, but going to the Big Brother house and play Big Brother. And if you win, we'll know it. I think just like Matt should have been on Love Island, you know, just like straight up.

[00:41:40] And I also don't think that he will never be on Love Island after this. He's so handsome. Yeah, it's proven that he brings the drama and reality. The challenge, Love Island. He's got a huge future ahead of him. Oh, you're right on the challenge. They would love him.

[00:41:56] Yeah. We'll see you around, Matt. Yeah, we'll see you. We'll see you. Yeah, we'll see you. The story's not over, Maggie. It's not. And you know what? I'm happy for it. I'll see Matt. I'll see him there. I'll be watching. He's great.

[00:42:15] Well, TV should start selling crazy ass shirts before. Yeah, you should get in on it. All right. Well, Darren, he talked about like he shouldn't even be here. He's just a normal guy. Did he to read Dan Giesling's book?

[00:42:32] I mean, I would like to know how that normal guy got cast in reality television. I have to say something. Yes. And I don't know. Maybe I'm completely off base here. But with Matt's southern accent that thick in the house,

[00:42:49] like as thick as it was when he was talking to Julie at the end. Did you notice? I didn't even catch that there was anything in there. I felt like he was he was pushing on it just a little bit more than I had ever heard him.

[00:43:03] Yeah. Like this show really did try to push this narrative that Matt is a southerner. This was like pushed very hard in the diary room. He referred to himself as like, oh, I'm I'm just a Georgia boy. Yeah. I mean, is he not?

[00:43:20] I guess so. But I don't know. Like, I just wonder, does he refer to himself that way in real life? It seems to be part of his identity, I think. I feel like it's just one of those it's like a symptom of casting.

[00:43:33] I feel like, you know, that's that's the archetype that they put you in. And I feel like sometimes with like with like recruits that are just like excited to just be on the show, they just regurgitate whatever it is that the casting team has like given them

[00:43:46] because that's what's gotten them this far. Yeah, I'm sure he's proud of being from Georgia or whatever. But like, I would doubt that it's as big of an identity as it might come across on the show. Yeah. Were they?

[00:43:57] Did he inherit like the Jasmine, like Blindside Butterbean's writer? And Red's writer? Yeah, that's what we're thinking about. Yeah. Wow. Jasmine, my beloved. How long have you been? We're going to need you to do all the southern jokes that we have. Blindside Butterbean's.

[00:44:22] OK, anything else about Matt's conversation with Julie? No. Love one another. Love one another. I, Rob, wanted to go back in the episode though to when Kimo won the AI competition. I was so excited for him. I was really, really excited for him. He really has.

[00:44:48] Like since we did the roundtable on Tuesday and getting to see his DRs the past two days, he's really, really grown on me. And I was really rooting for him hard. And it was really nice to be able to see him do this for himself,

[00:45:01] like show that he is a competitor, show that, you know, like even the confidence boost this hopefully will give him moving into the week. I'm just really excited for him. Yeah. Can Kimo bounce back? We've seen where, you know, the big story of the week one nominee

[00:45:19] who then goes on to have a great run. Could that be Kimo? Yeah, I was talking about this earlier that like, you know, we talked a lot about the week one nominees who face a vote basically never go on to win the game until Taylor in the US.

[00:45:37] And but like, would does that translate given this AI arena twist? Because there's three people. Kimo didn't spend the week as one of the two people that might leave. He mostly spent the week as the guy that was locked safe

[00:45:52] and one of Kenny or Matt is going to leave. So I don't know that he had many of the same like negative ramifications of staying on the block all week long. And then when it came down to it, he never did end up facing the vote.

[00:46:06] It's almost as though he won the veto just kind of late, which, you know, Steve Moses won the veto in week one to save himself and went on to win the game. So so it feels like there's a lot of things going for him

[00:46:18] to counteract the typical stigma of being a week one nominee. So I don't know. I feel like he might not be starting from as bad a place as he might have. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think anybody would want to would want to put them up.

[00:46:33] You know, like I don't think that there's anybody because it would be easier, right? Because he's already been on the block before. So it's like the whole like, you know, don't get blood on your hands thing.

[00:46:42] But everyone was like so happy for him to have one that feels like a I'm safe to write guys. They're like, yeah, like I don't think they're going to want to put them right back up after this.

[00:46:53] Yeah. Let's talk about some potential week to H.O.H. options. Tara, I know you've talked a lot about this week that there are a lot of people who are potentially going to throw the H.O.H. and maybe people are just talking a big game

[00:47:07] and that they can't help it when the actual competition starts. But who do you think is actually going for the H.O.H.? Not as many people as you would assume, but I do think T-Core will be gunning for it.

[00:47:23] She mentioned specifically that she would be gunning for it. She encouraged Kimo to as well, though he seemed a little bit less gung ho about it. I think that he probably would, given the fact that he spent the week on the block.

[00:47:37] I think that beyond that, you definitely will have like Lisa, Mackenzie, Leah, I think probably gunning for it, given that they're probably very insecure about their own positions in the game right now. And so then you have players like Tucker, who's going to be very like,

[00:47:57] you know, I don't think Tucker strikes me as the kind of guy that's going to be feeling like he wants to throw. We know that Quinn does. We know that the three C's, Chelsea, Kim and Cedric want to throw. So it'll be interesting.

[00:48:10] And definitely if too many people are thinking they want to throw, they could be throwing it right into the hands of Mackenzie, Lisa or Leah, which may or may not be good for them at this point. And if that were to happen, is Angela the number one target?

[00:48:26] I believe she would be for Lisa and Mackenzie. But but, you know, does she remain the target is the question. I think I think she's like the initial instinct of like, of course, we want to get back at Angela. But Angela doesn't really have any allies right now.

[00:48:47] Like like she doesn't really have the house. And if people are able to recognize that, they might quickly realize maybe we should be taking shots at, you know, players with a stronger power base. Yeah. Maggie, what do we have to do to appease the big brother gods

[00:49:01] for Angela to stay safe this week? We need to get that water that was charged under the moon. Where did it go? Somebody dumped it out. That's what we need. Oh, man. That was that was what we robbed.

[00:49:20] It's been a long time since we've had somebody like Angela and we can't lose her this quick. I know you said last night, like these people, they burn bright, they burn hot and they flame out and we cannot let this happen.

[00:49:35] We have not had a cracked old person on Big Brother for a really long time. I mean, in fairness that we just had Felicia last season. Very different, very different energy. Hmm. I will say, Rob, I think there is a serious danger for Angela,

[00:49:51] regardless of who wins H.O.H. And that's because of this America's veto situation. Given the current edit, if McKenzie was to use the America's veto, you have to assume that Angela is the top result of like somebody who might go up.

[00:50:08] Yes. But, Taryn, do you feel like that? The chances of that veto getting used soon are probably I know it expires in after week four. But is McKenzie going up on the block for anybody like is what like what would you think? So a decent amount. Yeah.

[00:50:25] OK, I mean, if her or, you know, Kenny or Lisa or Leah don't win, she's definitely a prime candidate, I would say. Yeah. Anybody that's in the BS Alliance, but also in the more powerful alliances

[00:50:38] would definitely put one of them up, if not both of them, if they were in power. For sure. Yeah, I guess my question is like, is there are there any players in the House that people are targeting because they're actually like threats?

[00:50:54] I mean, I know that there's like been like a little bit of talk of about like between Brooklyn and Quinn about like being on the bottom of the Pentagon Alliance. So like. Yeah, I don't know whether or not that's like too big of a swing this early.

[00:51:10] I feel like both of them would probably say that it is. So I don't necessarily know if Cedric or Cam or Chelsea would ever be targeted this early, but they're definitely on the radar at least. So. OK. All right.

[00:51:23] I want to invite the chat to ask some of their questions that the chat has been abuzz that the feeds have come back. Taryn, are we expecting the HOH comp soon? Is I'm not sure.

[00:51:38] So so it did seem like the AI Arena competition was taking place in what they would call the basement, which I assumed meant that they could have the HOH competition ready to go in the backyard. But that does not appear to be the case.

[00:51:51] The the feeds have come back and they're waiting on the HOH competition. So it could it could be any time. It could be an hour. Could be more. Could be less in terms of when they end up competing.

[00:52:03] OK. I'm being told in the chat that they they were told 8 p.m. Eastern. So so about 45 minutes from now, it sounds like they will compete. Feeds will probably be down for an hour or two. HOHs usually don't take as long because they're not usually individually timed.

[00:52:22] But you never know for sure. But I assume we will know at some point late tonight. As far as the comps go, Amon, I have to give them credit for the AI Arena because that was a very good performance for, I'll say now, a big budget production.

[00:52:43] Yeah, definitely high, high lofty, lofty budgets went into this. I enjoyed this a lot. Now, at least to me, it's like, now was this too good? Now they're just going to pretty much just scoop out that comp and they just put in another

[00:52:54] cup of the exact same room. That could definitely be a thing. We'll see. But for right now, I think what I can get and I liked it. I thought the comp was fairly equitable. We could kind of see the strategy of which all of them took.

[00:53:04] It was fun. I enjoyed it. It was nice. You know, I saw this question asked on Twitter earlier tonight. Did they have a plan for if everybody was wrong? What would they have done? Given it to the person who had the most? Second highest?

[00:53:17] Yes, it was ranked in order of who appeared the most amount of times. And so whoever chose the person who is there the most and the fastest time would have won. OK, do we know that Kimo picked that the person who was there the most times?

[00:53:32] It sounded to me like Julie said that Quinn was the correct number one answer. Yeah. OK. And he, I think, also locked in first for what it's worth. All right. Let's then take some questions from our chat.

[00:53:45] OK, Pouya wants to know, Amman, why are you dressed like Kenny was tonight? Amman has left the frame. You know, Amman is catching strays just like Zack Wurtenberger. I mean, to be fair, he is not wearing a hair hat. Yeah. He also isn't wearing any sleeves.

[00:54:16] Yes. Neither am I. I was not watching. Neither am I. OK. All right. Amman's back. Oh look, Amman's back. Yeah, I don't know what Pouya's posture is. Oh, he changed! He changed! Damn! OK.

[00:54:33] I will say it's a strange night for Pouya to be throwing shade, given that he just lost his fifth straight draft pick in Big Brother. Oh! Now, hold on, hold on. Is my pick of the 17th houseguest? Being shady, are we? I think your pick never existed.

[00:54:50] Never existed. That never existed. OK. OK. All right. Fair enough. All right. Here's a question from Pixel Toonbyte. What do you think about everybody locking in their answer with so much time remaining? Was there a lot of time remaining?

[00:55:08] Well, I thought it was maybe because it was like, OK, well, if the tiebreaker is the or is like who buzzes in soon. So once one person went, I think they all went.

[00:55:17] Yes, it was it was a rush to like, OK, if one person is answering, I want to go answer it before them if possible. Because because, yeah, I mean, if if they all answer the same, it will come down to time.

[00:55:28] And so if they felt confident enough to make their guess, then they want to make sure they get it in before the others. OK. Yeah. Morph 147 says, who do we want to win? H.O.H. for team Good Feeds Maggie. Lisa. Yeah, I think you're right.

[00:55:44] Yeah. Lisa will be targeting Angela. This is not. Oh no, I don't like that. There's lots of chances, Rob. There's I don't think Angela can win the AI arena. Yeah, she could win the veto. She could win the AI arena. People could not want to vote her out.

[00:55:59] You know, like even.

[00:56:01] Yeah, even but even with her winning, like I feel like with Angela being the target, rather, I feel like Lisa, just watching her try to campaign for herself to get off the block and then watching the way that she was talking when she won that veto.

[00:56:13] Her age is the proper rev up to H.O.H. It is like her at H.O.H. No matter who the target is, it's going to be a crap show. OK, so definitely team Lisa for H.O.H.

[00:56:24] OK, Maggie, could you weigh in on Lisa's glasses that she wore during the eviction? They kind of resemble I have like several pairs of sunglasses right here on my desk. They sort of resemble like tiny by, you know, hers. I've like little fairy wings that mine don't.

[00:56:43] Yeah, it's like a dragonfly landed on her nose. She's a glitter girl, you know. She's making sure that the toilet is nice and full of glitter by the time the night ends.

[00:56:53] Based off of all of the edible glitter she's been giving the house guests, she's got to keep up with all of that. That persona everywhere. Yeah. Love that. OK. All right. Let's go back to the questions. Where do we expect Leah to fall now that Matt is gone?

[00:57:10] Justine wants to ask. A lot of people want to work with Leah. The only reason that they aren't is because she's been so tied to Matt and Mackenzie with Matt gone.

[00:57:23] I think people will be starting to sort of like try to they'll try to be pulling her in. And I think from what I'm seeing right now, that's already happening.

[00:57:32] That people are already going to Leah being like, so Leah, how are you feeling after being left out of that vote? She looks just like like since I've seen her, I've been trying to place who she looks like.

[00:57:45] And she looks just like the actress who played Katie in the new Mean Girls musical movie. If you look her up. Not busy films. I can see it. Angori something. She looks freaking identical to her. I just had to say that.

[00:58:03] Yeah, I've had the thought that she has a very familiar and classic face as well. And I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I don't really know if that's who I was thinking of in the recesses of my mind, but I definitely agree for sure.

[00:58:14] Angori Rice is what they're saying in the chat. Yes. By the way, we didn't talk about this on last night's show, Taryn, but that's what do we think about? Mr. Announcer Man, this is how he's describing Leah. It came down to two seniors and a chubby chaser.

[00:58:34] I mean, do seniors and chubby chasers go together like a. Yeah. I mean, brutal. Right. I mean, like gone are the days of Virgin King, right? Like we are we are getting harsher and harsher. Look, she brought it up, OK? Yeah. I'm more talking seniors because like, geez.

[00:58:59] Yeah. Look, oh, this was back when the show was on at nine o'clock. Yeah. Taryn, you should have cracked old people earlier. They're not old. But what is the definition of a senior? Is it sixty five and above in the States? Yes, I believe so.

[00:59:16] You can get your AARP card. Got it. OK. Well, yeah, they're about 15 years off. Lauren wants to know how long until Matt is on God 101? Oh, I think imminent. Yes. Yeah. Will Matt's mom be with him for God 101?

[00:59:33] I was surprised they didn't start recording an episode as soon as he walked out to be on. She's like, just keep the cameras rolling. We'll get this done. Yeah. OK. Neil wants to know how much trouble is Joseph in for his voting comments?

[00:59:51] What were his? I missed his voting. I didn't think he said anything particularly out of left field in the voting booth. He said he started off. He's like, what up, Sam? And then he said, we're not doing it like other seasons.

[01:00:10] Oh, yeah, I thought I was wondering what he was about to do, because when he said there was like, oh, so are you not voting with the house? Are you going to intentionally throw a hinky vote? Because that's also like other seasons.

[01:00:19] So I wasn't really sure what he meant by that. He's been big on not letting bros run the season. So I believe that is what he is referring. OK, I don't think he's going to get in trouble for that.

[01:00:30] Maybe maybe if he didn't come out of the hallway when he was supposed to, maybe he's going to get mad at him for that. OK. Yeah. RB says odds of Matt writing McKenzie's H.O.H. letter. We can only hope. And you know, this is the thing.

[01:00:45] I'm not somebody who hates showmances like genuinely. I love a slow burn. I like Taylor. I well, I think that it's fun. I thought the Taylor Joseph showman on the seat on her season was no. She hates showmances. No, no, no. I know. I listened last night.

[01:01:01] But there's a difference between a slow burn showman and a schmoopy talk. Yeah, show me Maggie. You're preaching to the choir. And Matt and McKenzie are the definition of a schmoopy talk showman. We don't need any part of that. Goodbye. Yeah. OK.

[01:01:19] Up in Adam's who from Puya's draft team will be eliminated next? I believe he has Leah and Quinn. Oh, OK. Well, let's hope so. Let's hope he breaks the curse. So watch out, Leah. Well, he breaks the curse. Let's hope that the curse is like really.

[01:01:40] Let's let's curse him to the end of the world. OK. Yeah. I mean, for those that there weren't there, Puya's entire four person draft team was eliminated one, two, three, four and Big Brother Canada 12. And then he just got the first boot of this season as well.

[01:01:55] So honestly, if he if he manages one, two, three in this season, I feel like we just have to give him the win at that point. Like he is. Oh, truly shot. The best good news. Yeah.

[01:02:06] And that would be a crazy turn of events for the season in general. So like Leah and Quinn, I mean, Leah. Oh, they got him on. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Puya muted him. Puya, let him on talk. Come on. That's rude. His power.

[01:02:23] He had the deep fake podcast guest power. OK, I said good night, Amman. Oh, wow. That's rough. OK. All right. I won't be silent. All right. Let me see if I got one more question from the chat tonight. And not knee brass says,

[01:02:48] are there any HH winners worst case scenarios that could trigger Quinn to use his power? I don't think so. I feel like Quinn is basically pretty well insulated, not the most insulated player right now, but I don't necessarily if

[01:03:12] with the exception of me, if if Tico or Quinn ended up on the block, maybe I could see him stepping in. But other than that, I feel like he's probably OK to try to save it for himself. Yeah. Like basically the two main paths

[01:03:28] for HH this week are to target Lisa McKenzie and maybe a side of Leah or Kenny. And then on the other side, it would be like targeting Angela with maybe Joseph up there. And and then, you know, from there it gets a little wonky,

[01:03:48] but probably not Quinn, probably not anybody that Quinn particularly cares about. And I think he cares about Joseph, but not enough to use the power to save Joseph, especially if like there's other targets up there that he could try to get get get onto.

[01:04:03] So, yeah, I would guess at this point, not super likely. But but you never know. OK, anything else we want to cover here for Thursday night as we turn our attention to week two? Let's keep it going, baby. Keep it going. We have a good time to roll.

[01:04:22] Yeah, I'll say I'll say it. I think that like two of the biggest issues Big Brother has had with their game for the last decade have been twists and competitions. And for this week, at least the twist worked the way it should have worked.

[01:04:42] And it and it ended up being good. And the competitions have been equitable and good. And the result of that has been a good week of Big Brother. And so I hope that this continues. Wow. OK, positivity. Look what you manifested, Big Brother. It's all that moon water.

[01:05:06] The moon water. Yeah, I mean, not to be on negative one here, but like I'm still like so reluctant on really giving them the full 10s because I'm still pissed about the feats, but it's fine. It's fine. OK, whatever. All right.

[01:05:22] Well, let's talk about what else we've got coming up. OK, week two is kicking off into high gear. Of course, last night it came up on the show last night. The RHAP Brad shirt is here. You can get it at Robinswebsite.com slash RHAP Brad.
