[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Hello everyone and good morning.
[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome to our Live Feed Update for October 4th.
[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm your host, Taran Armstrong and I am here today to update you on everything that happened yesterday
[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_02]: The Big Brother 26 Live Feeds. It was day 80 in the house.
[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm currently on my own here this morning although we may get a guest at some point, who knows?
[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Stay tuned but in the meantime, I will update you on the happenings of what happened yesterday.
[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course, the last time we left off, the vote was going back and forth.
[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Cam had made some significant progress convincing Chelsea to keep chemo until she came back after talking to MJ
[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_02]: and was like maybe I don't want to keep chemo.
[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Then he was like okay well maybe we don't keep chemo.
[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Then she was like but maybe we do keep chemo.
[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_02]: He was like okay well maybe we do keep chemo.
[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe we should talk to chemo.
[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course, in the morning there's some more back and forth about this.
[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea and MJ continue to go back and forth about should we keep chemo?
[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Should we keep rubina?
[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course MJ pushes that they should keep rubina and Chelsea is fighting back.
[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_02]: She says that maybe we should be keeping chemo.
[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_02]: How annoying is it that they're not even talking to us?
[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_02]: We're having to go to them.
[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_02]: What the hell?
[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_02]: To which I would say yes, what the hell?
[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Talk to them.
[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea ends up talking to rubina and I actually mentioned yesterday that I thought that if they talked to chemo
[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_02]: it would be more likely that chemo would stay.
[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_02]: However, it was not chemo that Chelsea talked to.
[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_02]: It was in fact rubina.
[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_02]: That means of course that as we saw in the episode rubina stayed.
[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Rubina said hey I want the three women in the final three.
[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I want to make history.
[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_02]: This starts to become very important because rubina has been talking to chemo.
[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Particularly chemo has been talking to rubina about how they should go to the end with Cam.
[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Rubina has agreed with this but she is also pushing this narrative hard that they should get to the end with three women.
[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_02]: It's this narrative that they should get to the end with three women that is keeping rubina alive right now.
[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_02]: The real question is does she mean it?
[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Does she actually want to do that?
[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Especially given that chemo has told her you basically can't beat either of those two women.
[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_02]: You can beat Cam.
[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course this becomes important as rubina survives to the final four and chemo is evicted.
[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_02]: You could see that Cam was not particularly pleased about it.
[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_02]: When the feeds came back we discovered that Chelsea won the final four HOH.
[00:05:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Which of course means that Chelsea has made the final three and quite frankly it was probably won the game.
[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea is the final four HOH. Cam is pretty upset about it.
[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Like shockingly upset about this.
[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Which made me wonder like what?
[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Do you just want safety? Was that it?
[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Or were you looking to do something else?
[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean it's certainly a bad spot for Cam right?
[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not only a bad spot for Cam in the sense that he is now in a position where if say MJ wins that veto
[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_02]: his best hope is that she evicts rubina and then he's still just kind of screwed.
[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And his worst case scenario is that she doesn't revict rubina and instead evicts him.
[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_02]: So definitely a big failure to not keep chemo around for Cam.
[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_02]: This feels like the death knell for his game.
[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_02]: But not impossible depending on what rubina wants to do and what his chances are against rubina of course.
[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_02]: So MJ and rubina do talk a bit about making something big happen by getting the women to the final three.
[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_02]: This is so funny to me. The idea that an all women final three is so rare and unique when it has happened before.
[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_02]: But they really genuinely seem to not think it has.
[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_02]: So they're like, yeah we're doing something and you know I'm not saying they're not doing something but it's just not the thing that they think it is.
[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_02]: And also like who knows how genuine it is from all players here because MJ is still not locked in on it.
[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea certainly doesn't want it and I don't even know if rubina wants it actually or if she's just pushing it.
[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_02]: So you know we'll see.
[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea talks to Cam about nominations of course as we all know nominations at the final four do not actually mean anything beyond what the players make of them.
[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Because what really matters is what happens with the veto and how the nominations land post veto.
[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_02]: So she talks to Cam and they agree it doesn't matter but you know Chelsea is going to see if MJ and rubina are fine with going up.
[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_02]: He says he's fine with going up. It doesn't really matter to him.
[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And he lets her know that if he wins the veto, he is looking to take out MJ which we've known for quite a while.
[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's obviously the only play he has left at this point. If Cam wins the final four veto, he has to evict MJ and then quite frankly if he wins the final three HOH he also has to evict Chelsea.
[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Does he know the second part? The episode actually kind of indicated that he might.
[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_02]: So you know watch out for that but it would require him winning both the final four veto and the final three HOH which at this point is not looking super likely.
[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And the game competitions being what they are still the same people tend to win them over and over and we have seen that Chelsea and MJ have been winning over and over for quite a while at this point.
[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So Chelsea also talks to Rubina and Rubina basically says please don't put me on the block.
[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I know it doesn't matter but it would be nice to take a break from being on the block for once.
[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And with a strong preference like that, it kind of makes sense and quite frankly it made sense to begin with for Chelsea to not nominate Rubina because if she nominates Rubina then she has to choose between MJ and Cam which of the other one goes on the block.
[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And despite the fact that these nominations don't matter it still looks like something if you leave one of them off the block.
[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Still can feel like something to one of those people.
[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_02]: So to some degree it makes some sense to leave Rubina off the block and nominate both MJ and Cam.
[00:09:20] [SPEAKER_02]: But you know we'll see.
[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_02]: They talk to or she talks to MJ about this and MJ is kind of annoyed.
[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_02]: MJ is kind of like what the hell?
[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Where does Rubina get off asking to not be on the block?
[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And Chelsea's like well it's not, listen we don't want to look like we're a duo.
[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_02]: That would be bad for us so it kind of makes some sense to put you on the block right?
[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And she goes on to explain, hey you know Cam was really pushing hard this morning to get rid of Rubina but he eventually caved.
[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And MJ is really annoyed about that like why like who was he to be pushing for anything?
[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_02]: You know MJ and her ego era.
[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And MJ says to Chelsea that she's not sure who she would have picked between Cam and Rubina if she were to win the veto.
[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I did get the sense that Chelsea was pushing to protect Cam in this moment talking about how Cam is basically useless at competitions.
[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_02]: You could tell he really tried in this HOH still couldn't hack it.
[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_02]: And so it doesn't really matter which of the two of them stay at this point.
[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So let's just have the conversation if you win the veto MJ.
[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea also tells MJ that if she wins the veto she will take MJ off the block, which I actually think might be true given what we know.
[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_02]: We know that Chelsea actively wants to go to the final three with both MJ and Cam.
[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Because she thinks that they will both take her which is very likely true.
[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Given that fact Cam actively definitely wants to evict MJ.
[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_02]: MJ only maybe probably wants to evict Cam.
[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So it kind of makes sense that she might want to leave MJ as the sole vote so that she has more of a chance to keep both MJ and Cam and get rid of Rubina.
[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Would MJ actually do that is another question.
[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So we actually went straight to nominations.
[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Nominations happened last night they did happen you're not reading things wrong on the internet.
[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_02]: The nominations happened last night very quickly that's why they were having these conversations.
[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_02]: This is likely going to be a bit of a sped up week as the final four often tends to be so nominations happen quickly.
[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I imagine we'll get the veto competition fairly soon as well.
[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I think perhaps today and then tomorrow as the ceremony we will have to make sure we wait and see on that one.
[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_02]: But I'm pretty sure it's something along those lines.
[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_02]: So this will happen quick veto competition obviously is the thing that really matters but the nominations did happen last night and they were MJ and Cam.
[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And MJ you could tell she was still a little bit annoyed like she was annoyed that Rubina was like happy that she wasn't on the block.
[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And making some comments.
[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_02]: So MJ does then talk to Rubina and this was an interesting conversation that she was like hey obviously we should cut Cam this week.
[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_02]: You're right the ceremony would be eviction it's and do we we do live veto vetoes for final four right.
[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And what's the schedule so it be Sunday right.
[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Is it Sunday Sundays the eviction.
[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I forget because Wednesday is there's no episode Wednesday.
[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be Sunday Thursday Friday Sunday again so it'll probably Sunday the ceremony.
[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Unless it actually is Thursday really.
[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay I never pay attention.
[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Right they'll do the veto competition on Sunday.
[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Geez that's going to be so long.
[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_02]: But it will be taped okay.
[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_02]: All right so anyway.
[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to talk to Rubina.
[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And you're right why speed it up this.
[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway I'm going to talk to Rubina about how they should be cutting Cam this week he's and part of the reason why he's really close to Chelsea.
[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_02]: MJ talks about now that she specifically talks about how Chelsea is a really well rounded player.
[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_02]: She's winning all these comps so MJ doesn't even really have like the comp stat over Chelsea.
[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_02]: She says I'm aware I'm aware I'm not unaware that she has more than me but I can do stuff to I took out Leah.
[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_02]: There's definitely an indication here that MJ is concerned about the fact that Chelsea will beat her in the end, which is obviously a narrative that that Rubina is going to continue to pump up.
[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm curious to see what MJ does here.
[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, MJ is in a position where she should be the front runner to win this game.
[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_02]: She should be like she is the biggest threat to win these final competitions.
[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_02]: All she needs to do is cut Chelsea and she basically guaranteed wins.
[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Is she willing to do that is the question.
[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And so far we've seen very little indication that she is.
[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_02]: She said just in last night's episode that she plans to go to the final two with Chelsea.
[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_02]: At some point will something change.
[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea pushed her hard the night before about this chemo eviction and while she eventually did side to side with her to keep Rubina.
[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_02]: MJ was clearly not very happy about it.
[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_02]: In addition to that, she is now actively having these conversations with Rubina about how you know can they beat Chelsea can she beat Chelsea.
[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think this means anything.
[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It's probably just MJ trying to make sure that Rubina keeps her in the event that Rubina wins the final three HOH or something along those lines.
[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Certainly that trying to make sure that Rubina keeps her at the final four.
[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But there's a world where this is intentional and that she is trying to trick Chelsea into thinking she's willing to keep Cam this week despite the fact she actually wants to make sure Cam leaves this week.
[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And then also wants to make sure that she goes to the end with Rubina.
[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think that's happening, but like given the thing she's saying it's certainly an option certainly a path for her.
[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And what a coup it would be if she got Chelsea to use the veto on her so that she had the decision then cuts Cam and then cuts her later.
[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_02]: You know it's fan fiction at this point but.
[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_02]: This conversation with Rubina was definitely something.
[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_02]: You know talking about how you don't think you can maybe beat a person in the final two is a weird thing to do if you plan to take them to the final two especially if you plan to cut this person specifically for that person in the final two.
[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_02]: But you know what are you going to do.
[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's about it that's about what I have from yesterday.
[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course the big thing is the veto competition coming up I imagine fairly soon.
[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And it is really not much more if you have any questions for me I can answer a couple of questions but we are about to do the q amp a so if you have any questions and your patron of the podcast you can call in and chat with us.
[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And it will answer your questions or you can come and hang out at the q amp a and maybe ask some questions over there you can watch it live but you will not have access to it after the fact so.
[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_02]: You know we can hang out over there we can we can answer some questions over there.
[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_02]: In the meantime I think that's what I got for you.
[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll be back tomorrow morning with another update of course 11 am Eastern.
[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll hopefully have some veto results by then that would be very fun and then of course Sunday night episode recap all that good stuff.
