[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what's happening.

[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Rob said that he could do it.

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Tomorrow he will do it again.

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Hello, everyone, and good morning.

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome to our live feed update for July 26th.

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm your host, Tarn Armstrong, and I am here today to update you on everything that happened yesterday

[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_02]: on the Big Brother 26 live feeds.

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It was day 10 in the house, and there was an eviction.

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_02]: There was an HOH competition, and plenty more to talk through here today.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And with me to talk through it all is Buya.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_02]: How are you doing, Buya?

[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Doing great.

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Happy to be here.

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Excited.

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_01]: But I will say, Taryn, if you start doing a British accent midway through this update and continue it on, I might have to leave.

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_01]: What are you talking about?

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_02]: That.

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It's our live feed update.

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Why is it Cockney?

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the only one I know, to be honest.

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I love it.

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I love it.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Plenty to talk about here.

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_02]: We are here at noon Eastern on Fridays.

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_02]: That is generally the time that we will be here on Fridays because we just spoke with Matt.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_02]: So that exit interview will be up shortly, I would imagine.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So stay tuned for that.

[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Matt, I thought it was honestly a very fun conversation with Matt.

[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_02]: He is a very charming guy.

[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And luckily there were still some surprises that we had for him in terms of some of the alliances going on in the house and stuff like that.

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_02]: So stay tuned for that.

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But let's talk about what we saw on the feeds yesterday.

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_02]: It was our first eviction.

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_02]: There really wasn't much leading up to the eviction as we kind of assumed.

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It was just a lot of the same Matt, not really knowing that he needed to do work.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Kenny feeling like he'd probably go home anyway.

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And and chemo, you know, being very safe, basically, was the thing.

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And that led us into the eviction where we saw the AI arena competition where Kenny won.

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, where chemo won leaving Kenny and Matt on the block.

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And then Matt was evicted by an eight to three vote with Lisa, Leah and Mackenzie being the only three that voted for Matt to stay.

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_02]: So the feeds came back fairly quickly after the episode.

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And we fairly quickly found out that Lisa was not being super open about her vote or at the very least that Leah and Mackenzie were very confused about who the third vote with them was, which was all very confusing.

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I can only assume that Lisa was like, oh, damn, I really wanted to be in the majority.

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Let me just pretend I was.

[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Which is funny because some of the names I've heard from the people who did vote out Kenny and Kenny himself are very false and off base.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_01]: But everybody else is kind of thinking it's Lisa and she's lying.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, which, yes, is in fact the case.

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_02]: So I so we have that we had this period of time, basically, when the feeds came back before the H.O.H. competition happened.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And in that time, there were a couple of conversations.

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_02]: T-Core talked to Leah like everybody has wanted to get in with Leah, but she has been too attached to Matt and Mackenzie.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_02]: So now that Matt is gone, it's a matter of who can get to Leah first.

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And T-Core wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_02]: So T-Core got in there early.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_02]: She said, hey, I just want to check in with you and make sure that you're feeling OK.

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_02]: How are things going?

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And Leah said, ha ha, you have activated my trap card.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I am now going to tell you the entire story of my life.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And they had a very lengthy conversation where Leah was just kind of like talking about like how she got here and how, you know, being here is a win for her in the first place.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, that people always underestimate her.

[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And it was all it was a whole thing.

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, typically when you're in a conversation with Leah and quite a few people in this house, it is not going to be a quick one.

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_01]: And you might just be the role of the listener, which T-Core has proven in this last week that she is the number one best listener in the house because, you know, and then the memes are out there.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_01]: The umms and the umms with T-Core go hard.

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And the good news is no one finds that bad.

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_01]: No one sees it negatively.

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_01]: If T-Core's hmmming you, you know, personally, if I'm monologuing for 10 minutes and someone's doing that, I'm like, OK, they're either bored or I should stop talking.

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't seem to have an impact with someone like Leah.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_01]: She just goes on and on and on.

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And at least if she leaves feeling good about it, then that's a great place to be.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And so lots of that.

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Leah really was was feeling something last night for a while.

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_02]: She was she was, you know, talking to T-Core.

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_02]: She was coming up with jingles.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And and when I say jingles, I mean, like, it's it's like if you crossed a jingle with like death metal, that was basically what the jingle was, because there was lots of screaming at the end.

[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And she also talks about how like like, you know, the Pavlov's dog experiment like that's like my life.

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Like that's that was that's so meaningful to me.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I base my life off of is Pavlov's dog where they press the button and they get the thing.

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, OK, this is interesting.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Mackenzie, in the meantime, also is having her own kind of spiraling moments.

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_02]: She's talking a lot about how she wants to be seen as her own player and that, you know, she needs to figure out how to move forward.

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_02]: She's talking with Rubina about that.

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And and then, of course, like Angela later was like, hey, Rubina, what was Mackenzie saying?

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Was she saying anything about me?

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And so there's there's definitely some fallout happening, but nothing too meaningful yet because the H.O.H. competition has not happened.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_01]: So the only thing I want to flag up before we get to the post H.O.H. feeds is that we had a moment where Chelsea was talking about how Mackenzie, a.k.a.

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_01]: MJ was talking about how, you know, now she's ready to like get to know people more and like keep communicating.

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And Chelsea basically felt like, oh, now that your man's gone now, now you want to switch the tides.

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_01]: You should have been doing this the whole time.

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Just keep that in mind.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So so we got to the H.O.H. competition and when the feeds came back.

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It was Chelsea who won the H.O.H.

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Competition, Chelsea, who did not want to win the H.O.H.

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_02]: competition, was one of the people who was actively saying that she wanted to throw it.

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And so it is it is, you know, very interesting that she won.

[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Basically, what we discovered is that she had intended to throw the competition, but Leah had gotten too far in the competition.

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And Chelsea did not want to seed the H.O.H. to Leah.

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And so she had to stay in until Leah was out.

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_02]: And by then she just accidentally won the competition.

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_02]: And so now Chelsea, who I believe had the highest rating in the Stockwatch this week, has won the H.O.H.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And in many ways could determine the the rest of how this game plays out with how she plays this H.O.H.

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And so we will we'll see what what she what she's capable of.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she wanted to draw to throw it to T-Core, who assumingly was also in the competition.

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_01]: But like you said, once Leah got far enough, she kind of had to go for it or ends up winning.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I believe it was a Q&A.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_01]: They ought to watch a video of some sort or something and then answer some questions.

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_01]: So that's what she won.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I do think this is a very interesting week, typically, especially when the first H.O.H.

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_01]: fumbles the gathering of alliances or setting up a structure.

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_01]: The second H.O.H. gets the second crack at it and can build it up.

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think the fact that the house has quite a few people who, A, can be seen as house targets in a weird way,

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_01]: or B, dummies who volunteer to go on the block, because why not?

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_01]: You're kind of set in a really good spot to coast on this one.

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_01]: But then we still have the outside factors of the other upgrades that could be coming into play or are in play.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see.

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_01]: So I think overall it's a net positive for Chelsea's game, but we'll see.

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and there were a lot of people that were throwing, actually.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It turns out even T-Core, who said she wanted to win prior to the H.O.H., was also throwing, as was Kimo, as were a lot of people.

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_02]: We know that Quinn was throwing as well.

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_02]: We also discover that the have-nots are Rubina, Leah, Mackenzie, and Lisa.

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And nobody is happier about that than Tucker.

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And he even has a brief conversation with Lisa where Lisa is kind of like,

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, I'm actually super excited that I'm a have-nots.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And Tucker very graciously offers to help with some cooking.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_02]: And she's like, Oh, that would be so great.

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, Oh, Tucker, I just really appreciate our chef-to-chef banter.

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, Yeah, me too.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It was so funny when he essentially says to her, Yeah, you're going to like it because you're going to get to experiment and figure out how to cook with slop.

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_01]: That'll be fun for you.

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a good time.

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Katie in the chat is asking, Is Glitter allowed in slop?

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And that was a genuine question that they had to determine.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't think Glitter is allowed.

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not on the list.

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So, again, Leah is continuing to do her thing.

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea says to the cameras fairly quickly that she's not entirely sure what she's going to do.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_02]: But what she is sure of is that Lisa is her target, which makes a ton of sense.

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_02]: It's exactly what we said last week, that Lisa is a very easy consensus target for the week.

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_02]: She basically has no allies.

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, by targeting Lisa, you can really create the exact structure of the house that you would like, especially if you're somebody like Chelsea and you don't have any enemies right now.

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think this makes a lot of sense from her right now.

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_02]: You can always change the plan given the events of the week.

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_02]: But this is definitely, I think, the right move for her at this point.

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Again, she's in a very good spot where there is a consensus target that everyone will be like, Oh, yeah, I can get behind that.

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_01]: That's easy.

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And also with the house vote being eight to three, it's also easy to put the other two up for her and be like, well, listen, you all know why I did this.

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And everyone's going to be like, yeah, we get that.

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's a very, very good spot for her to be.

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_01]: And also to go back to the have nots real quick.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_01]: It sounds like they got to each have not got to pick somebody and Tucker got to pick Lisa the way God intended.

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_01]: So happy that that happened.

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's what's made it even easier for Chelsea is that Kenny has already volunteered for the block.

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So she has an automatic nom just ready to go.

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Easy, easy pickings.

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, Kenny, all I'm going to say is if you loved Matt so much, why don't you just leave?

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Why are you taking up space in this whole house?

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Why?

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Why?

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, and I'm not saying this like like Matt was going to be amazing and go all the I think Matt would still end up on the block in this situation here.

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_01]: But at the very least, the dude was was cocky, was arrogant, was trying something, was making me feel emotions negatively.

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Kenny just infuriates me because he's doing nothing.

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_01]: He's filling up air.

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_01]: He's taking up oxygen in that house.

[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I think we are now at the point where where I will happily say.

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Just let him leave.

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, just let him leave.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I know you've got a schedule.

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I know.

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I know you like want, you know, your twists and stuff to line up or whatever.

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I just let him leave.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Just let him leave.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Give him his give him his little bit of stipend that you give these poor people and and let him leave.

[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And then we can continue on with our lives.

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, to me, it feels like he every time he decides he's back in, it's to try and win the comp.

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And when he doesn't win, he's like, all right, get rid of me.

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_01]: My no, you lost the H.O.H.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Now you want to leave.

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, I've seen a lot of people talk about this.

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_01]: We're like, I want to be petty and keep him in.

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Just like if you want to leave, leave on your own accord.

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_01]: But also, I don't want to sacrifice someone I'm rooting for or like for this or someone that's going to provide me any sense of drama for this.

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So just get rid of them.

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Cut your losses.

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_01]: But I guess the question is, Taren, would you rather we get another zombie week or Kenny stays?

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_02]: That's true.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_01]: That's not.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a hard question to answer at this time.

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I guess we'll I guess we'll see about that one.

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_02]: OK, so.

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Kimo Rubina and T-Corp talk about the vote.

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_02]: They talk about how they want to kind of group up a little bit with some of the people they trust.

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_02]: There's mention of a big alliance.

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_02]: One of the main plot lines through the night in terms of alliance building.

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And just to reset this in terms of alliances from week one, there was the barbershop alliance, the BS alliance, which is.

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but still technically exists.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_02]: There was then the collective alliance, which is also BS, but also still kind of technically exists just without Angela.

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_02]: So the remnants of Matt versus Angela still are technically there, but not really real.

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_02]: So then if you get a layer deeper to like the more real alliances, you have the three C's Cam, Cedric and Chelsea, who are part of the Pentagon, which includes Quinn and Brooklyn as well.

[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_02]: But Quinn and Brooklyn have recognized that they're on the bottom of that group of five.

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And so Brooklyn has her own sort of stuff going on.

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_02]: She's talked to Rubina a bit.

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_02]: She has her own relationships with people like Leah and and even to some degree like T-Corp and Kimo.

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Meanwhile, Quinn is even more active.

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_02]: He has his own thing going on with the have not room.

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_02]: They call themselves the Andersons, which Cam is also involved in.

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm sorry if this is like a lot, but the the have the previous have not room.

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_02]: The Andersons are Quinn, Kimo, Cam and Tucker.

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And then Quinn is also developing a group.

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And this is the one that is most relevant for tonight.

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_02]: That is himself, Kimo, T-Corp.

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And they've talked about maybe Rubina as a fourth.

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're just thinking of ways to try to build out this group.

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I think this is the one that that Quinn is the most invested in, in terms of actual groups.

[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_02]: He is tightly locked in with Kimo.

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Kimo is one of two players he is told about his power.

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And Kimo obviously has a good relationship with T-Corp, as does Quinn.

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And so this group is the one to keep an eye on, especially throughout this first night of Chelsea's HOH.

[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_01]: And I got to say, I love this group.

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I think this group has a lot of potential.

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that unlike the three C's in Cam, Cedric and Chelsea, I think not a lot of people are going to be on to them.

[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Not that a lot of people are on to those three specifically, but it's clear enough to some people that there are connections, bonds there that are pretty strong.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_01]: So I like their standing right now.

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I like where Kimo is situated in it.

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I like where T-Corp is situated in it and where Quinn is.

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like all of them, in a weirdly unique way, could be seen as a triangle.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_01]: They could be seen at the tip of the triangle in a weird way.

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_01]: If you talk about some of the other connections they have, which we'll get to.

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, in the meantime, the three C's must discuss who they are going for.

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_02]: But Cam doesn't get involved until a little bit later.

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_02]: So at first, it's going to be Chelsea and T-Corp with Cedric there as well.

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're going to discuss the possible nominations.

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea makes it fairly clear that she wants to be targeting Lisa.

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_02]: But the question is, who else does she nominate?

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Does she even nominate Lisa right away?

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And so the options being discussed are Mackenzie.

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Angela is an easy nom because it would make like, you know, she's by herself.

[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_02]: And it would, you know, sort of placate Mackenzie, Leah and Lisa if Angela is also on the block to make it seem like, oh, well, she's potentially the target.

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Kenny volunteered.

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So he's a great option.

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And then, you know, even Lisa or Leah could also both go on the block.

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_02]: So there's those are kind of the options.

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It's it's Mackenzie, Angela, Kenny, Leah, Lisa, five people, three nominee chairs.

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_02]: That's kind of what they're looking at.

[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And as of this moment, one of the big things Chelsea wants to tackle with her age was obviously Lisa being her person she would like to see out of the house.

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_01]: She also wants to flush the upgrade is is kind of the conversation here.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_01]: She wants to figure out who has it.

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And if we can flush it, that's good, too.

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, which is a very important point.

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea and Cedric talk a bit more privately.

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Cedric says that he would like to keep the facade of the barbershop up if possible.

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_02]: He has always been the most invested barbershop.

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea is basically like there is no barbershop.

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Who who in the barbershop did not just vote out Matt?

[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Just Mackenzie and Leah.

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just Mackenzie and Leah at this point.

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_02]: But he says, yeah, but also kind of Kenny.

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And she's like, OK, I guess she's from Chelsea's point of view.

[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_02]: She's most concerned that Cam is trying very hard to protect Leah.

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, this is my hope here is that, again, here in week two, a lot of these things will start to feel solidified and we'll know what's relevant.

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_02]: So one thing that is potentially becoming relevant here is that Cam and Leah, and we've briefly mentioned it in updates earlier,

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_02]: prior to this, they have a developing relationship.

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_02]: A little bit of a flirtation.

[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Leah is a fairly flirty person in general.

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But but that has not gone unnoticed by Chelsea, who feels like that, you know, Cam might be feeling like he wants to do something with Leah, at least strategically.

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And she's like, I don't I don't know how I feel about that is kind of the vibe that that I'm getting in this conversation.

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_01]: So she's pointing it out to said, yeah, which is funny to me, because then when Cam walked into that room and he was like, it's easy.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_01]: We put Leah, Lisa, McKenzie, easy.

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And they're like, well, Kenny volunteered.

[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, perfect.

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Then put Lisa, McKenzie and Kenny up and leaves Leah out of that equation.

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So that's definitely going to be it's going to be very interesting to keep an eye on these three to see if that connection ends up severing, not severing ties, but kind of causing complications in their little group.

[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Because, you know, on the flip side, with like a T-Core, Kimo and Quinn, the reason I like their positioning is that it's very clear they're all OK to talk to other people.

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_01]: And no one seems to be concerned about the other about their other connections, at least at the very moment.

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_02]: So so that yes, that's exactly what happens.

[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Cam comes in and I'm not sure how his reaction changed Chelsea's perception, if it did at all.

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_02]: But she is going to talk with Tucker a bit later.

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_02]: She does a couple of one on ones.

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_02]: She's she's not actively seeking out one on ones.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_02]: She wants people to come to her and and essentially like get a sense of like who's willing to to come to her.

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It's it's interesting because it's it is pretty, pretty dramatically against the meta.

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Like that is over especially the last few years.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_02]: The H.O.H. just just does one on ones with everyone.

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just what people do.

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And it can be very valuable because you will you will occasionally get some information that you didn't know existed.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Somebody will slip up or you can like easily trap somebody into saying something they maybe shouldn't have.

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But but it'll be interesting to see, you know, how this works out for her.

[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I think a lot of people will want to talk to her.

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_02]: But but if they don't, there is potentially some benefit in the sense that, hey, you didn't come and talk to me is a pretty good reason to put somebody on the block.

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_02]: So so we'll see how this plays out.

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_02]: But Tucker does want to talk to her.

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And of course, when she's asking Tucker what his thoughts are, his thoughts are with Lisa and how badly he would like for Lisa to leave this week.

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And how if she is nominated, he would love to be picked to play in the veto so that he can beat her in the veto and make sure she goes home.

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And he would like nothing more than to win the veto, not use it and put the final nail in her coffin is the feeling I got.

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And this brings me joy.

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I actually I'm really happy that we're seeing Tucker be a little bit more involved in the game.

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, when we you and I first spoke last week, it was very clear that everyone had this impression that Tucker had put out there that he doesn't want any alliances or any game yet.

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_01]: But I feel like he's been trying to learn and move.

[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like he's been very clear who his target is.

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's a good spot for him to land to rewind real quick, Taron.

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to take too much of the time here about this Chelsea decision for the one on ones are optional and they're opt in, not mandatory.

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I do like this.

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like it's it's kind of like, you know, office hours with a professor because the people that really want it, they're going to come in and talk to you.

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I also like the idea from just the social game standpoint of if I'm the H.O.H. and it's optional, who's so comfortable that they're not talking to me?

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Who thinks they have me wrapped up that they're not even going to bother checking in?

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's good.

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Something to keep an eye on moving forward for your game.

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_01]: If someone doesn't talk to you, especially if someone you think you're in alliance with, it's like, oh, so you're that comfortable?

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't like that.

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_01]: But then also getting a lot of information is good.

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Seeing who's scared is good.

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So I think it's a net positive ultimately.

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think as a viewer, some of those one on ones never hit when everyone got a turn.

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not mad at it.

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And there's also like a way where this could help with perception.

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, when you have people coming in one by one to do one on ones, it does make you feel like you're doing performance reviews.

[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, like if you want to maintain the social positioning that Chelsea currently has, which was she was previously downgraded.

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_02]: She was somebody that was like in everybody's ear and wasn't really seen as like a big power player.

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I think you I think as the HOH, you have to lean into it a little bit.

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_02]: But obviously, lots of people lean into it way too hard.

[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, I'm very curious to see how Chelsea handles it all.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, she does tell Tucker they talk about this, that she she does think McKenzie has power.

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_02]: This has been a fairly widespread suspicion for a while.

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_02]: And she says basically straight up, she'd love to see if she can get it out of her and see if she can get McKenzie to admit to her that she has the power, which is basically exactly what she attempts to do in her next one on one, which is with McKenzie.

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, McKenzie.

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_01]: This went very long, especially compared to Tucker.

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_01]: It went what felt like forever.

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_01]: And if I recall, the last one on one of the night, right, for Chelsea, at least.

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, for Chelsea.

[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And so they McKenzie, part of the reason this goes long is that it is.

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like the Leah conversation with T core where McKenzie is basically like explaining everything about her life and her feelings, but with less energy.

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And so she's talking about how she wants to be seen as her own player.

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_02]: She recognizes that she was secluding herself with Matt in the game.

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And and Chelsea's kind of like, I mean, if you recognize that that was happening, why did you keep doing it?

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And McKenzie is like, oh, yeah, I mean, I get that.

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_02]: It was so that I felt this way and that the Angela thing happened.

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And then this and then that and so on and so forth.

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_02]: It's really honestly, like sometimes I'm like, oh, check out this conversation.

[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't check out this conversation.

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It's really not worth it.

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea does claim that she did not was not told about the Matt vote ahead of time, that she maybe had a feeling.

[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And McKenzie's like, yeah, I also had a feeling.

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_02]: But but that she was not explicitly told about the vote.

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_02]: She is still maintaining that deniability.

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea says we finally get to the interesting part.

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_02]: She says, I really want to figure out where the two power ups are because, you know, I just want to I just want to figure out if like, you know, I might want to work with those people that have those power ups.

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And she stares at McKenzie and McKenzie's like, well, I I will say I don't know if I should say this, but I do have one.

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I do have I do have a power up.

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I almost use it on Matt, but I didn't.

[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And she goes on into the explanation of why she didn't use it on Matt.

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And then she goes on to explain what it is.

[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_02]: She says it is the America's veto.

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And and quite honestly, I really only want to use it on myself because I don't have control over who gets put up if I use it.

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_02]: America does.

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_02]: So they for all I know, I could use it and then they could be like, now I'm going to put up your closest ally.

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Jokes on you.

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And so so I don't really know if I want to use it outside of saving myself.

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And so at this point, Chelsea's like.

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh.

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Because, of course, and we'll talk about this very soon, but like.

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_02]: This is news to Chelsea in terms of how this power works, right?

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It's very relevant to Chelsea as the HOH.

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, they do briefly talk more about like what the nominations could look like.

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea says she's been looking at like Angela and Kenny because those are pretty easy names to throw out to Mackenzie.

[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Kenny volunteered.

[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Angela is what Mackenzie wants.

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Mackenzie says if Angela is your target, you should probably put people up win and you probably shouldn't put her up initially.

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_02]: She has some plans about that, but she's kind of buying into the idea that Angela might be the house consensus target.

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_02]: So then she leaves and and Chelsea's like.

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my God, I'm freaking out.

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I was trying to win, trying to not win for this exact reason.

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, good to know.

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_02]: But what do I do?

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I could put her up knowing she has to use it or I could like keep her on my side type vibes.

[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's a genuine conundrum.

[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, because.

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_02]: What this means is she could flush the power, but that diminishes her own power as the HOH because she does not get to name the replacement nominee and it could ruin her entire week.

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_02]: If America chooses the wrong person, she has no idea what America might do.

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_02]: But if she leaves Mackenzie off the block, she's allowing Mackenzie to hold her power, which could screw her over in the coming weeks.

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_02]: So what does she do?

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a very interesting space to be in now if you're Chelsea, because I think that if Mackenzie's power is flushed, obviously then Mackenzie can go up and go home next week if they so choose.

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_01]: And if Mackenzie doesn't win the veto.

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_01]: But the other interesting elements here are, Taryn, I don't want to admit this, but I'm gonna.

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I went sleuthing last night.

[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I dove deep into that Big Brother Casuals Facebook group.

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you okay?

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I've survived.

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I live to tell the team.

[00:31:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you sure?

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I think so.

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_02]: We might need to do some checks just to make sure.

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Check and see if I was brainwashed.

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_01]: See if I say any words that we don't approve of.

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_02]: How do you feel about showmances?

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Love them.

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I hate them.

[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Hate them.

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I hate them.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Boo, showmance is what people would say.

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_01]: So what's funny is, first of all, with this Facebook group, they have not been making posts.

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_01]: The last post they have is when they had like the reporters, the journalists go and play Big Brother for half a day.

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the last post they have.

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_01]: So basically the comments under that have become the message board on Big Brother Facebook group because people are still commenting on that.

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Like that is the that is the that is the place to be.

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And I went digging over 800 comments, Taryn.

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Nothing but Angela.

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Angela.

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Angela sucks.

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Angela should go.

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Angela should have been kicked.

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_01]: So we know they'll put up Angela for the America's Vito's use.

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_01]: However, with Mackenzie not putting this info out, if she doesn't want to really go after her, that combined with Angela kind of telling everyone I expect to be put up and it's kind of a freebie.

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_01]: If Angela starts on that block or is the replacement nominee for the power of veto holder, who are they going to put up?

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Because at this point, we know who they're going to put up until the house puts up Angela.

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Then I genuinely don't know.

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_01]: It'll come down to what the edit is on Sunday, what the edit is on Wednesday.

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's a very scary place to be.

[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_01]: On the other hand, too, if you're Chelsea and you're like, well, everything's kind of gone my way so far.

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Is America going to think, hmm, we can't let Chelsea get everything.

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_01]: We like an underdog.

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Does she see it that way and panic and then avoid Mackenzie altogether for that, too?

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, and this is the thing, Pouya.

[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's say that you're right, that Angela does go on the block in some form or fashion and is not an option for the audience.

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_02]: If we go by the assumption that the casual audience is still very much pro-Matt and Mackenzie and that Mackenzie is holding the torch for Matt in the coming episodes and Mackenzie gets nominated by Chelsea,

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that what Mackenzie explained would happen potentially to Chelsea.

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe one of Chelsea's allies goes on the block as retaliation for nominating Mackenzie in the first place, forcing her to use her power,

[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_02]: especially if they are seen as sort of like the people in charge right now, the people in power.

[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And so, you know, it would it would not surprise me if we saw, you know, one of Chelsea's perceived allies potentially go on the block if that were to happen.

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_02]: But again, there's also other, you know, edits in the coming episodes that could certainly change that.

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. So so so so the question is, should should Chelsea do this?

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And honestly, without having put a ton of thought into it yet, to me, it feels like it feels like no.

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It kind of feels like it's it's a little risky.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course, there is some benefit.

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_02]: You could do it. You could flush it.

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Even if one of your allies goes on the block, you still have the numbers.

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Probably you can still control the other two nominations, which means you can still guarantee at least one of your nominations sits on the block at the end of the week.

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And with your numbers, you can make sure that person leaves.

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_02]: But there's a lot of risk attached to that.

[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And if the audience is putting up your allies after an America's veto, what does that do to the perception of you in the house?

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of talk last night about how the audience in the studio seemed to be cheering for chemo when he won.

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And so there's now, I think, a perception that like the audience is on chemo side.

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_02]: The audience is is anti Matt, essentially, which is not really true.

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_02]: But if they are, you know, putting Chelsea's allies on the block, it's possible that the audience might or that the people in the house might feel like, well, why do they hate Chelsea?

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Like what's going on?

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so so there's some danger there, not to mention the fact that she's just actively like, hey, Mackenzie, you know, felt comfortable enough and trusted me enough to tell me about her power.

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and now I'm forcing her to use it and flushing it, uh, like, and she's definitely staying until next week.

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_02]: That's creating a guaranteed enemy.

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, when you could maybe just say, like, hey, you know, Mackenzie, I really appreciate you told me about that power.

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm really going to trust you.

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, here's what I'm going to do.

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to leave you off block, but I do have to put up Leah and, uh, maybe it's not Leah.

[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_02]: If she really wants to continue work with the babies, Lisa, Kenny, um, and, and Angela.

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and, uh, and then, and then renom can be renom, right?

[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Like you, you can deal with that later.

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and there's value to that too.

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_02]: So, um, so yeah, I mean, that I think would be my instinct is I just don't think you can turn around and put Mackenzie on the block right away.

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's too, uh, it's too risky.

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel.

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I think ultimately, once you know that it comes down to a public vote of who's going to be put up, you just cannot risk.

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Again, there's a lot of negative things that can come into it.

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously it can be positive and the public puts up someone that you're very okay with, but you just don't want to have to have to deal with that right now.

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I really don't think so.

[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_01]: My question to you is, do you think Chelsea should keep this to herself?

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Or should Chelsea tell her alliance mates and friends who and what the power is?

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, that's a good question.

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that she probably needs to tell the three C's and that's probably it.

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah.

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause Mackenzie might, she said she might just public like put it out there and let everyone know she has it too.

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think that you, I think she has to make sure she understands with, uh, with Mackenzie, like exactly what Mackenzie plans to say to other people.

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so, uh, so she knows what she should be saying to other people.

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_02]: But, um, but I do think that like, I think that trying to make a deal, trying to work with Mackenzie just made it.

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause like it, the danger is that if you leave the veto in the game, there's two more weeks to use it after this.

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, you could be on the receiving end of that veto if other players go after Mackenzie.

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and, and that could be bad.

[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but if you like, you know, if you say, Hey, Mackenzie, I'd really like to work with you.

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Would you even be willing to maybe use the veto on me in the future?

[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_02]: If I help protect you this week, so on and so forth.

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I think there's, there's options here.

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but, uh, but, but at the very least, I think right now, the decision right in front of you is I don't think you nominate Mackenzie right away.

[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, for, for the very bare minimum of if you nominate her straight up, she doesn't have to use her veto yet.

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_02]: She could still win the actual veto.

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And then it's not flushed.

[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And now she has the veto and is against you.

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_02]: So, um, so at the very least you leave her off the block initially.

[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_02]: If you want to flush it, you do it on a renom.

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and that gives you time to sort of like talk more with her and get a sense of whether or not you feel like that's a workable relationship.

[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And not for nothing, my mentality, you know, to go to survivor real quick is I don't mind not having the idol myself.

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I, as long as I know who has it so I can play around it, I'm content.

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like for Chelsea, let someone else flush it.

[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_01]: So if, especially if it becomes more public information, let someone else take that bullet on their HOH reign.

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_01]: You don't need to, especially if you make nice with Mackenzie, at least you would feel somewhat safe that, that it won't come back to haunt you.

[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah.

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_02]: And, and like a future HOH will have to deal with the same problem.

[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_02]: If they want to flush it, if they want to nominate Mackenzie, they will have to deal with the fact that they will have to give up one of their nominations to America.

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and so there's a decent chance that nobody just ends up nominating Mackenzie until the end of her power, in which case you might never have had to deal with the, the problem at all.

[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, it just means that Mackenzie is, is like safe for a couple more weeks, but like, that's no, you know, that's not like that bad for you, especially given the position that Chelsea is in right now.

[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. And ultimately, obviously with this HOH that Chelsea didn't want to win, she is still in a good spot in that we cannot stress this enough.

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Two people have basically said, put me up two out of the three slots have said, nominate me.

[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And the third slot can be reserved for the target that you actually want out in Lisa.

[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I think the question for me, the bigger question is the worry about what happens if Lisa wins veto, who do you put up next?

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Because that could be the can of worms.

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. And, and honestly, like, um, you know, sorry, Leah, I don't know.

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, like, I get that there's a lot of people that want to pull in Leah, but that's kind of the problem.

[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_02]: If I'm Chelsea, uh, like, you know, put Leah up there, uh, maybe make an enemy out of Leah.

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_02]: It's, it's dangerous. There's possible is this possible that it's dangerous, but like, if you could actually get Leah out, I think that's great for Chelsea.

[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, I think that Leah is, is not somebody that Chelsea should want to leave in the game at this point,

[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_02]: because she doesn't have much of a relationship with Leah. She's already concerned about Leah and Cam.

[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so why not just take that shot? It's an easy one to make.

[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and, uh, and it makes a lot more sense to me than, than using her HOH on Angela or Kenny.

[00:40:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But, uh, I think using it on Angela or Kenny still makes a lot of sense.

[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And you can still just even say like, sorry, Leah, I need you as a pawn, given that you were one of those people that voted.

[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm still shooting at Kenny or, or Angela.

[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And then, Hey, if, if it, if it backfires onto Leah, it's no sweat off her back.

[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, so I think that would probably be my, my plan.

[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. And, and I think the, the only concern potentially there could be if Leah being on the block causes a lot of doubt and friction because some of the alliances or allegiances she has are hesitant to vote her out.

[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, but we'll see how that plays out.

[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I have heard, um, that, you know, I think there's quite a few people that are very content with Angela leaving this week.

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_01]: So if Lisa does come off that block and Angela's on there, I think there's a decent chance that Angela is the one that gets the boot as well.

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_01]: That's entirely possible.

[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_01]: So we will find out.

[00:41:39] Mm-hmm.

[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, okay.

[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So there's some more conversations between Quinn, T-Core and Kimo about working together, talking about Cam as a threat.

[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, they really like Cam, but he, you know, he definitely should go before jury.

[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_02]: They're all sort of, uh, wary of the fact that somebody like Cam could theoretically just run the table in competitions if they ever, you know, uh, allow that to happen.

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so, uh, they are concerned about Cam.

[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, they talk with Joseph a lot as well back there and hang out.

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, there is like, I think just a gen, like, I think Joseph probably gravitates toward that group, uh, a decent amount.

[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, they don't talk about him, him a lot as a potential ally, but I think he is somebody that would be more in their camp than, than a lot of others.

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, he also of course is, uh, in the like have not camp, uh, as well.

[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I would say, um, it wasn't a have not or himself, but, uh, is closely linked with a lot of them in there, including Quinn and Tucker.

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and so, uh, so interesting stuff there.

[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Again, that group continues to develop and seems to be the one that is like the budding group of the, uh, of the week.

[00:42:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm very, very, again, I really like this trio of Kimo, T-Core, and Quinn.

[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I think they're very good.

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I think having Rubina for Kimo and T-Core is another good person to go for.

[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I think Quinn is still also in good with Ruby.

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I like this group.

[00:43:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I think Joseph is very fascinating one for me, Taryn, because Joseph for a little while there looked like he was in one of the best spots in the house.

[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_01]: But now I feel like he's weirdly on an island.

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I know he's got like connections and other people like looking out for him, but I don't know what happened.

[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if he got spooked or, or like what exactly, where would you pinpoint the moment where things went sideways for him?

[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So, so basically what happened with Joseph on first night of feeds, he was in with like everyone.

[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And he was trying very hard to make Matt work.

[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and despite the fact that like he, he was, that Angela and Matt were like,

[00:43:48] [SPEAKER_02]: going against each other, he was trying to bridge that gap because he wanted to work with Angela and her side, but he also wanted to maintain his connection to Matt.

[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And so, uh, he eventually pitched an alliance between Angela and Matt, uh, that he went to Matt with, and then Matt told a bunch of people about.

[00:44:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And it really made, uh, like in a lot of people's minds, like Joseph became really linked to Angela.

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and when Angela called Matt out, Matt was like, why would you do that, Joseph?

[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and just, I had nothing to do with this.

[00:44:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but from that point forward, really Joseph's association with Angela and the backlash from Matt, uh, just sunk a lot of his strategic positioning.

[00:44:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and you know, a lot of the conversations from Matt and anybody that was talking to Matt was like, we'll target Angela and Joseph.

[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and so he, I think his game really sunk with that.

[00:44:44] [SPEAKER_02]: So really, I mean, it was just trying too hard to make Matt work and abandoning that ship too late, uh, really sunk a lot of his, uh, his social capital.

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_02]: He's still, he's in an okay place.

[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, he's not like in eminent danger at the moment, but, uh, he is in, uh, in terms of like getting into a power position.

[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_02]: He has certainly fallen from grace.

[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he needs to regain some of that confidence he had.

[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause I don't like we've talked about, we like an active player, you know, you're trying to do some stuff, make some connections.

[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I think right now he's a, he touched the hot stove and he might be a little hesitant, but I do think you'll regain that confidence later on.

[00:45:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So the big, big event of the night really, uh, was a lengthy conversation between Quinn and Leah.

[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Now there has been some talk about the two of them and their flirtations, but Leah is fairly flirty with everyone.

[00:45:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's hard to know exactly where things might actually, uh, stand.

[00:45:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but, uh, basically Quinn has been talking about wanting to pull Leah in as have many people, but, uh, Quinn seems to be the most serious about it as he spends, uh, a good portion of the night late at night, uh, talking and flirting with Leah.

[00:46:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, he kind of lets her know like, okay, listen, now that Matt's gone, I can tell you some of this stuff.

[00:46:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Basically, uh, I'm a little worried about you right now because I do think there's a good chance that you might be looked at as a pawn because you weren't with the majority of the house.

[00:46:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And I did try to warn you by the way, uh, once Matt was guaranteed to stay on the block, he was mouthing Matt to her on the couches.

[00:46:31] [SPEAKER_02]: She ignored him and voted Matt to stay anyway.

[00:46:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but he really wants to work with her.

[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and she reiterates to him that she really wants to work with him.

[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_02]: She really likes him from the second she saw him in this house.

[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and the flirtation is happening.

[00:46:49] [SPEAKER_02]: It's very awkward some of the time, but, uh, there's definitely some flirtation.

[00:46:53] [SPEAKER_02]: She's got some like spoons that she's using as hands that he's holding.

[00:46:57] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a whole thing.

[00:46:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but, uh, but they get to talk about strategy.

[00:47:02] [SPEAKER_02]: They're constantly interrupted by the flirting, but they're also talking about the strategy.

[00:47:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and she ends up telling spilling basically everything about her game, uh, including the barbershop alliance and how she's been approached by Brooklyn.

[00:47:14] [SPEAKER_02]: She's, uh, had a bit of a thing with Lisa.

[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and, uh, she's obviously linked with McKenzie.

[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and so, uh, and she even lets him know that like the women have kind of a loose agreement to work together.

[00:47:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and so like spilling all of that, she asks him like, who are you like hoping to work with?

[00:47:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And he says, well, I really like T core and chemo.

[00:47:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and she says, well, that's great.

[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I like them too.

[00:47:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't really talked much game with them, but I was just talking to T core and I was really hoping that it was genuine.

[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_02]: He says, it is like, they want to work with you.

[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I've been talking to them about it.

[00:47:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and, uh, she says like, yeah.

[00:47:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:47:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And I, man, Lisa really is in my ears.

[00:47:51] [SPEAKER_02]: She really wants to work with me.

[00:47:52] [SPEAKER_02]: But, uh, but I know it's probably not the greatest idea.

[00:47:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And Quinn's like, it's not like, it's really not.

[00:48:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:48:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, first of all, little before this Quinn was in the backyard talking about, can you imagine how many drafts we effed up by getting rid of Matt?

[00:48:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Matt.

[00:48:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Now Quinn, the good news, buddy, is that you didn't mess up my draft because you're still there.

[00:48:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Leah's still there and you're talking together.

[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_01]: You're trying to form something.

[00:48:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Love that.

[00:48:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you have to get the spray bottle out?

[00:48:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Taryn a little bit for Quinn.

[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_02]: You do.

[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_02]: You very much do.

[00:48:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, Quinn.

[00:48:30] [SPEAKER_02]: The spray bottle is necessary.

[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Quinn, keep it together.

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Stand up.

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:48:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I ruined my camera.

[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I was surprised you actually did it.

[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_02]: This is, you are now in like, uh, like you've turned the camera into like a love camera.

[00:48:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I do like the lighting.

[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_01]: It looks a little different here.

[00:48:48] [SPEAKER_01]: No, but here's the thing.

[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I think this is a good connection for the two of them because arguably with the whole conversation of Matt going, the debate has been that, you know, we, people want to pick up the pieces.

[00:49:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like out of the two, I would argue that Leah has kind of been the bigger free agent that a lot of people have been looking at because of the fact that she's been talking to a lot of people.

[00:49:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So I think Quinn has her now, which is good.

[00:49:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I think Quinn got a lot of information from Leah, which is good.

[00:49:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I think Quinn gave up some information, which isn't that bad as of right now.

[00:49:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, mind you, I'm not looking at whatever's happening since people have woken up.

[00:49:27] [SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see what the events of today hold, but they made plans to, to have Leah talk to T-Core, talk to Kimo, kind of get involved there.

[00:49:36] [SPEAKER_01]: This could be a very, very, very, very good alliance.

[00:49:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It could be.

[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_01]: It really could be.

[00:49:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And I, and I have faith, but flirting and listen.

[00:49:46] [SPEAKER_01]: A work flirt, not bad.

[00:49:48] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, a little flirt, you keep the, you keep the joke going, the banter is going.

[00:49:51] [SPEAKER_01]: That's lovely.

[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_01]: We like that.

[00:49:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, it keeps the, keeps you limber in a weird way.

[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_01]: If it goes too deep and people start associating you two together and you're flirting, McKenzie already made a joke of like, that's the new show, man.

[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_01]: You saw what happened last week.

[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_01]: You don't want that.

[00:50:08] [SPEAKER_01]: So spray bottle yourself when you need to, because flirting's fine.

[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Over flirting is not.

[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't do it.

[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:50:19] [SPEAKER_02]: So Leah basically proposed, like, should we lock in something with T-Core and Kimo?

[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And Quinn says, yes, I think that's a really good idea.

[00:50:26] [SPEAKER_02]: They also mentioned potentially bringing in Brooklyn as a bit of like a trio that they could do.

[00:50:31] [SPEAKER_02]: He likes that idea because he thinks that Brooklyn is very smart and somebody that they can work with.

[00:50:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm actually not as sold on the idea of bringing Brooklyn in.

[00:50:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that like Brooklyn is a very dangerous player to let, to let in on so many of your plans.

[00:50:50] [SPEAKER_02]: If I'm, if I'm Quinn, uh, like I want Brooklyn.

[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I like there's that connection that they have because of the Pentagon.

[00:50:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I certainly want to bring her into some things, but, uh, but if I let her know too many of the things, um, I already know that she's smart enough to realize when she's at the bottom of things.

[00:51:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And she's very clearly at the bottom of that thing.

[00:51:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, that's where I would be a little skeptical, a little bit careful, but, um, they continue to awkwardly flirt, uh, and sometimes not awkwardly flirt.

[00:51:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, they agreed to a final two.

[00:51:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and, uh, he, uh, he makes it very clear that he is like a big fan of games.

[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_02]: She's talking about like how, oh man, curly haired people win all the time.

[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like, what?

[00:51:32] [SPEAKER_02]: No, that's how I don't even think that's happened.

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_02]: He starts going through all the winners, um, and, uh, they, they say, okay, well, we'll make a final two.

[00:51:40] [SPEAKER_02]: She's like, well, do you have a final two with like everyone?

[00:51:44] [SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, ah, I do have, I do have some others, but you're the only one that matters, Leah.

[00:51:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and she's like, well, who do you, who else do you have a final two with?

[00:51:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, I have something like informal with chemo.

[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and this is where I was like, what are you doing?

[00:52:01] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[00:52:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause everything else so far was fine.

[00:52:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you have any other thoughts?

[00:52:05] [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, just you, just you.

[00:52:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I've been talking to people, but it's, it's just, it's always been you or something to that effect.

[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause you're in the middle of flirting.

[00:52:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So you're trying to also make it flirtatious.

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't bring up chemo's name and then be like, but I also think we should work with chemo and T core.

[00:52:19] [SPEAKER_01]: No, cause no, that's not good.

[00:52:21] [SPEAKER_01]: This is my one worry for Quinn is that he can sometimes be a little bit free poor with the amount of information he puts in someone's lap.

[00:52:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think Leah, a very social butterfly here right now, you're number one.

[00:52:34] [SPEAKER_01]: You could fall down the power ranking.

[00:52:36] [SPEAKER_01]: That information could be information she uses for someone else.

[00:52:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:52:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And, and here's the thing.

[00:52:40] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the kind of situation, the kind of information where it probably doesn't matter right now.

[00:52:48] [SPEAKER_02]: He probably gets away with it right now.

[00:52:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, because why would she expose this right now?

[00:52:54] [SPEAKER_02]: It makes a lot of sense for her to continue to work with Quinn.

[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_02]: They trust each other, so on and so forth.

[00:52:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, it's probably fine that he did this right now and that's probably why he felt comfortable doing it.

[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_02]: However, even if he does get away with it in the short term, this is the kind of thing that can really kill you in the long term.

[00:53:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Because if Leah is game savvy in any meaningful way, she's going to remember this forever.

[00:53:19] [SPEAKER_02]: She's never going to forget that you have a final two with chemo.

[00:53:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And if you do end up dominating the game together, like, you know, eight weeks down the line, chemo still in the game.

[00:53:30] [SPEAKER_02]: She's going to be like, I know that he has a final two with chemo.

[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I need to do something about that.

[00:53:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I have that information.

[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the kind of thing that is crucial to be secret in the late game.

[00:53:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, let alone the early game.

[00:53:45] [SPEAKER_02]: But like, um, it's just not the sort of thing that you want to give away, especially for free.

[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And this was very much for free.

[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And obviously this was a longer convo.

[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of info came out, you know, we can naively hope that, that this is one of the pieces that wasn't remembered.

[00:54:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I think one of the bigger pieces that is going to be top of mind for her right now is the fact that she could be someone that could end up on the block because of the fact that she voted to keep Matt.

[00:54:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and right now I think definitely the vibe I got leaving this conversation at the end of the night was I'm going to put in a shift tomorrow said Leah.

[00:54:18] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think based on the little snippets I'm seeing, she's going to be actively putting in a shift and, and is not loving the perception that the house has of her.

[00:54:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and I agree with you a hundred percent.

[00:54:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think this is something that in the immediate future is going to hurt Quinn because I don't think Leah is going to do anything about that right now.

[00:54:33] [SPEAKER_01]: But y'all get together at the final nine, you get to the final eight that might come out or she might use it against you.

[00:54:39] [SPEAKER_01]: It's entirely possible.

[00:54:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, you should.

[00:54:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:54:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Now through all of the flirting, she does take like a moment to be a little serious.

[00:54:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And she's kind of like, I just like, just to be serious for a second, like, I want to make this kind of clear that like, I want this to be a game thing.

[00:55:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Quinn, like not like a romantic thing essentially is what she's trying to say.

[00:55:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and she hopes that that doesn't change anything about it.

[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Like she doesn't want this to feel like, uh, like, Oh, he's doing this because he thinks that there's something that might happen between the two of them.

[00:55:17] [SPEAKER_02]: She wants him to be doing this because he genuinely feels like there's a game connection and that they can help each other in the game.

[00:55:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and it gets a little bit, a little bit awkward.

[00:55:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and she, and he is very much like, Oh, of course not.

[00:55:30] [SPEAKER_02]: That doesn't change anything for me at all.

[00:55:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Like that's, uh, like whatever.

[00:55:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and then they, like, they awkwardly go back to flirting after that.

[00:55:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, Oh, we can still flirt.

[00:55:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, it's not a, it's not a thing that we need to stop flirting.

[00:55:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Nothing needs to change.

[00:55:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, but they do have that kind of moment.

[00:55:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, which is definitely worth, uh, pointing out at this point.

[00:55:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm very happy.

[00:55:56] [SPEAKER_01]: She did this because I think especially setting that up right now immediately, essentially like, okay, so you gave me a lot of info.

[00:56:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I gave you a lot of info.

[00:56:06] [SPEAKER_01]: We're in this together, but no kissy kissy.

[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_01]: No, no cuddles.

[00:56:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:56:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Just so you know, that's not why we did that.

[00:56:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's like, lock it in.

[00:56:14] [SPEAKER_01]: We are playing the game together.

[00:56:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Now we are, this is what we're doing.

[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I like that.

[00:56:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I also think it is good for Quinn in the long run because, and, and listen, I've only known Quinn for a week at this point.

[00:56:26] [SPEAKER_01]: His Twitter game fire, but at least now he knows.

[00:56:30] [SPEAKER_01]: So if he does see Leah flirting with a cam or talking nice batting eyelashes, somebody else, he can't get in a Shaquille of feels.

[00:56:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he might, but he knows that there was nothing here romantically in the first place.

[00:56:44] [SPEAKER_01]: So lock it in Quinn, lock it in.

[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Or I sort of got the spray bottle when I see you.

[00:56:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Keep it together.

[00:57:19] [SPEAKER_02]: He can use it to advance over time.

[00:57:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But, but that is where things stand for now.

[00:57:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's, that's pretty much what was going on last night.

[00:57:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Pui, anything else that you wanted to bring up?

[00:57:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:57:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Fun, fun stuff.

[00:57:32] [SPEAKER_01]: So I said earlier that some people weren't sure who that third vote is.

[00:57:38] [SPEAKER_01]: McKenzie brought up that it could be chemo.

[00:57:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And Kenny has brought up that it could be Joseph.

[00:57:43] [SPEAKER_01]: So despite, ironically enough for McKenzie, her, Leah and Lisa are all have not in that same room.

[00:57:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And she's saying this in front of Lisa, who is not owning up to this vote either.

[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:57:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Which is very funny.

[00:57:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:58:00] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I enjoyed that.

[00:58:02] [SPEAKER_01]: The Chelsea's letter was very fun.

[00:58:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Her family was like, you know, giving her all the support, but then also no showmance.

[00:58:09] [SPEAKER_01]: And if that guy is in the house, only after you win the money can come to me and I can approve them if necessary.

[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_01]: So I did like that.

[00:58:18] [SPEAKER_01]: And Chelsea picked Alicia Keys for H2H Basket Music.

[00:58:21] [SPEAKER_01]: So that's pretty nice.

[00:58:22] [SPEAKER_01]: We like that.

[00:58:23] [SPEAKER_01]: It's cool.

[00:58:23] [SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

[00:58:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, right after this update ends, I think we will be premiering the Matt exit interview.

[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So stay tuned here on the channel for that.

[00:58:35] [SPEAKER_02]: If you want to see what Matt had to say about, about his time in the house.

[00:58:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I will, of course, be back tomorrow morning, 11 a.m. Eastern to update you on everything that happens today on the Big Brother 26 live feeds, including, of course, the nominations.

[00:58:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Booyah?

[00:58:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I need to talk about Lisa and her purifying of the Have Not Room.

[00:58:58] [SPEAKER_01]: We nearly, she nearly got away with it, Taryn.

[00:59:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And she would have if it wasn't for the meddling me.

[00:59:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man.

[00:59:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my God.

[00:59:05] [SPEAKER_01]: So first of all, she like ran this moon water around the room like it was sage for, you know, for good luck or whatever.

[00:59:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, that's cool.

[00:59:12] [SPEAKER_01]: That's cool.

[00:59:13] [SPEAKER_01]: That's fine.

[00:59:13] [SPEAKER_01]: She did something that I very much opposed.

[00:59:17] [SPEAKER_01]: She went ahead and you put some essential oils on the pillow and then used her hand and wiped it on the pillow like she was cleaning a window.

[00:59:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And she did it to all four pillows.

[00:59:27] [SPEAKER_01]: No one else was in the room.

[00:59:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Do not put anything on my pillow unless I say it's okay.

[00:59:36] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I saw Kirsten bring this up that, you know, for someone that's prone to acne, this could be bad because I've heard of this, you know, spray the pillow and it's for good night's sleep.

[00:59:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Like you can get that or whatever.

[00:59:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't approve of this.

[00:59:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't approve of this.

[00:59:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And future Big Brother house guests, always flip your pillow now before you go to sleep because you never know who's done something to the other side of that pillow.

[00:59:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Always flip.

[00:59:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Always flip the pillow.

[00:59:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Flip your pillow and wash your toothbrush.

[01:00:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[01:00:02] [SPEAKER_01]: This is like, listen, Lisa's been giving me comedic feeds, so I'm here for it.

[01:00:08] [SPEAKER_01]: But also I can recognize this.

[01:00:10] [SPEAKER_01]: This is someone who just does not recognize boundaries, you know, with the glitter and now the spraying of the essential oils.

[01:00:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Do it on your bed as much as you want.

[01:00:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Other people's beds are not for you to decide what to do with.

[01:00:22] [SPEAKER_01]: She's just trying to curate the vibes.

[01:00:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, the vibes are off, man.

[01:00:26] [SPEAKER_01]: The vibes are in the ground.

[01:00:29] [SPEAKER_01]: This was negative vibes for me.

[01:00:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:00:34] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[01:00:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, we'll have clean pillows tonight as we.
