[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Every morning, Taran Armstrong, toxic brother, looking at the stuff from yesterday.
[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_02]: All the drama, all the strategy and silliness from P.O. to H.O.H.
[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Every single season, you know he is the reason, you know what's happening.
[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Rob said that he could do it, tomorrow he will do it again.
[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Hello everyone and good morning.
[00:01:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to our live feed update for September 20th.
[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm your host, Taran Armstrong, and I'm here today to update you on everything that happened
[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_01]: yesterday on the Big Brother 26 live feeds.
[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It was day 66 in the house and there was an eviction.
[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_01]: They finally escaped janky world.
[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_01]: There was a new H.O.H. and we have new plans for the week.
[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And with me to talk about it all is Booyah.
[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_00]: How are you doing, Booyah?
[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing good, man.
[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_00]: The road to the double eviction began last night and we got to see,
[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_00]: and they loved patting themselves on the back about this,
[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_00]: got to see the start of an H.O.H. plot.
[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_00]: We saw the start.
[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_00]: What a treat.
[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_01]: So happy.
[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, we're going to get into it.
[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Might be a little bit of a quicker one.
[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_01]: There's not too much to get into, but we do have a new H.O.H. and new plans.
[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just, you know, there weren't a ton of conversations last night.
[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_01]: There's not a ton of people left.
[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_01]: So as you all know, what was going on previously was that Leah was the H.O.H.
[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_01]: She's not in the graphic anymore, but she had T-Core and Rubina on the block.
[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And we were wondering yesterday morning, well, how is this vote going to come in?
[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_01]: It was unclear exactly where Cam stood.
[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, it was looking like it was leaning toward perhaps T-Core leaving,
[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_01]: but we weren't sure.
[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_01]: We learned, I wouldn't say quickly, but one of the few real conversations we had on the feeds
[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_01]: previous to the eviction, prior to the eviction, was Chelsea letting Kimo know,
[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_01]: hey, the votes aren't there.
[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_01]: T-Core will be leaving tonight.
[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And wouldn't you know it?
[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_01]: T-Core was in fact evicted in the eviction episode.
[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, with one sympathy vote.
[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_00]: So the only person voting that way being Kimo, everyone else sending T-Core to the jury house.
[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Quinn might faint when he sees T-Core walk in.
[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I do not think that man expected this at all.
[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't think he did.
[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_01]: So T-Core out.
[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_01]: New HOH competition begins.
[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I did mention last night that it may look like Angela has a significant lead,
[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_01]: but I don't think that's going to be super significant in the grand scheme of things.
[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_01]: It's an hour long competition.
[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And while she did do well, Angela did not win the HOH.
[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_01]: The winner of the HOH was in fact MJ.
[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Once again, in a position where I feel like the person who probably needed it the least
[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_00]: ends up winning it out of nowhere.
[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I also thought I said the same thing.
[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, Angela is clearly crushing it when we came back from commercial last night.
[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_00]: But the reality is an hour gives you plenty of time to get the hang of what you're doing.
[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that you can lock in whenever,
[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_00]: but most people are probably not going to lock into later.
[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Some people were going to pick it up as they went along.
[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm also wondering for what it's worth, depending on how this plays out.
[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, having some height on you is probably some kind of...
[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_01]: You're stacking high enough.
[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_01]: But Rubina also did very well.
[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So MJ wins the HOH.
[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And MJ, all of last week, most of last week, I've been talking about MJ has finally come
[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_01]: into her own.
[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_01]: She is campaigning for her own interests, setting herself up, positioning herself into
[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_01]: the bow tie middle of two trio kind of position that Chelsea had been in or wanted to be in.
[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Chelsea, MJ, not quite the front runner at the moment, but could become the front runner
[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_01]: if she continues to play this right.
[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And did she need this HOH?
[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_01]: No, but it's not like she has to tank her own game by winning this HOH.
[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Right, Pouya?
[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, take it as a bit of a stat pad.
[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Get another comp, win on the old resume and do what is going to be the best move for you
[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_00]: and you'll be fine.
[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_01]: So she celebrates with Leah when the feeds come back up.
[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, we did it!
[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Back to back HOHs.
[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Look at us.
[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going here.
[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_01]: We're doing it.
[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And they're having a good time.
[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And then MJ brings the mood down a little bit when she says, okay, Leah, I'm thinking
[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Angela on the block with Kimo.
[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Kimo, my target, Angela, my pawn.
[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, Leah is like, why Angela?
[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, why Angela?
[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Because she has discussed with Cam, with Chelsea, the idea, remember the debate last week with Cam
[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and Chelsea was should we target Angela or should we target Kimo?
[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And while targeting Kimo isn't like the most impactful thing in the world, it does make
[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_01]: more sense than targeting Angela if you're MJ because MJ has made significant progress on her
[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_01]: relationship with Angela.
[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And while that does not mean much, it is much more than something.
[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And Angela remaining an anti-Chelsea presence means that MJ, the reason why we've been hyping
[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_01]: MJ up is that she's in this position where she's got Leah and Angela on one side, Cam
[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_01]: and Chelsea on the other side, and she's smack dab in the middle.
[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And in one of those sides is a little easier to beat in the final two as well.
[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's a very good position to be in.
[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_01]: By nominating Angela as a pawn, you're just potentially ruining that relationship with
[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Angela, not to mention the fact that you're opening up the door for Cam and Chelsea to
[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_01]: just vote out Angela because why wouldn't they?
[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_01]: It benefits them in the same way that you voted out T-Corp because it benefited you.
[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_01]: They would certainly just evict Angela because it benefits them.
[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's the argument that Leah is making to MJ in this moment.
[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't do this.
[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Cam and Chelsea will vote Angela out.
[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And she says, no, I don't think so.
[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to vote Kimo out.
[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, at this point, I thought, hmm, OK, this is a choice.
[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Kimo going ain't too bad for you, but I don't know why you would put Angela on the block
[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_00]: after all the work you put in with Angela this past week.
[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like you're kind of saying what happens in Janky World stays in Janky World.
[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't need to continue into the house.
[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_00]: So I was a little bit puzzled by this, but I still at this moment thought, OK, but Kimo
[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_00]: leaving for you isn't too shabby.
[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_00]: This is still the ideal situation.
[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_00]: You just have to work on Angela when she's on the block a little bit, and hopefully you'll be fine.
[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not the worst idea.
[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I've seen a lot of people talk about, should she be straight up targeting Chelsea?
[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And you could think about that.
[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that becomes a little sketchy.
[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that targeting Chelsea herself in the final seven, it's possible.
[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_01]: You could maybe make that work.
[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_01]: But the easier thing to do is to just maintain this position between the two duos on each side.
[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Leah and Angela are targeting Chelsea.
[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Great.
[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_01]: You can let them do that for you as long as they remain in the game, as long as you keep
[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_01]: them safe, which you're not keeping them safe if you nominate Angela and give them the opportunity
[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_01]: to vote Angela out.
[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a little dangerous there.
[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_01]: If you're not going to go after Chelsea, you should at least maintain the positioning of
[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_01]: the anti-Chelsea people.
[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_01]: It is a bit dangerous.
[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Leah tries to warn MJ about this.
[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_01]: She says, hey, Chelsea, what about Chelsea?
[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_01]: How do we feel about Chelsea?
[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_01]: MJ is basically like, I want to keep the focus on Kimo this week.
[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Kimo's the target.
[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't really think that we should be touching Chelsea.
[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, the other part of this is that I feel like for MJ, kind of for a lot of people
[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_00]: in the house at the moment, I feel like a lot of people are putting up nominations.
[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_00]: And when someone is mentioned, that could be beneficial for them to consider.
[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I don't necessarily think Chelsea should be considered here for MJ, but it's very much
[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_00]: the mentality of the next person's got it.
[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't need to worry about that.
[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_00]: The next person can handle my that business for me.
[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Mm hmm.
[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, which is why I was really thinking that Leah needed to handle her own business last week.
[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Decor leaving was fine, but Chelsea leaving was the key, and she did not even come close to that.
[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_01]: So there it is.
[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_01]: MJ tells Leah this is the plan.
[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Kimo the target.
[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Angela the pawn.
[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And MJ is telling Leah, I really need you to help keep Angela calm.
[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm thinking at this point like, oh, MJ, come on.
[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Like last week, you know, you really had it.
[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_01]: You would you done so much work with MJ.
[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_01]: You just worked with her to take out T-Core.
[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_01]: You have this great positioning.
[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Why are you risking the chance of losing it by doing this unnecessary move?
[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Angela is the pawn.
[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Rubina is sitting right there.
[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Makes no sense to put Angela up as a pawn.
[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And then things became more clear about why she was doing this.
[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_01]: It cleared up all of the confusion that I had because I was so confused.
[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, this doesn't make sense.
[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_01]: This is not a good move.
[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And then she helped make it more sense.
[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And it became a much worse move because she tells everyone else.
[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm lying to Leah.
[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Angela is my target.
[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Kimo is the pawn.
[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Tells goes as far as Kimo or not Kimo.
[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Somebody else.
[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I've wanted her out since week two.
[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's true.
[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she's one hour since week two.
[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_00]: It really is week one.
[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_00]: It's been since day.
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_00]: What was it?
[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Three.
[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_00]: When the day four day three.
[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_00]: I even remember that first night she was talking about because for me,
[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_00]: a little bit of the MJ bit was whoever wins HOA.
[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_00]: She's talking about targeting them.
[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_00]: So I remember that vividly.
[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_00]: This was fascinating to me.
[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like, you know, I just talked about how kind of the culture of the house has been.
[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Let the next HOA handle my business for MJ.
[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, MJ, let someone else handle Angela as business for you.
[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_00]: This is a connection you just made.
[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_00]: You do not need to be the person to do this.
[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_00]: You're you're in a decent spot if you let the next person handle it.
[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like you're talking about and then later she's also talking about, OK,
[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_00]: then we get Leah out next week.
[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_00]: If you want these two out so bad, I still don't think you should
[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_00]: let someone else do it on their HOH.
[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_00]: You have a good connection with these two right now.
[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we found out that the business she wants handled next week isn't Chelsea.
[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_01]: It's Leah.
[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Can we just wrap this up?
[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like we should just wrap this up.
[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's call it a let's call it a season right here.
[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I see the writing on the wall already.
[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_00]: It's just like.
[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Where did janky world MJ go?
[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_01]: She outside MJ was like a different player, and then she went back inside.
[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, oh, there she is.
[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the MJ I know.
[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, once you don't hear J and K on a loop,
[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_00]: it seems like your frequencies balance out.
[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_00]: And in her case, unfortunately enough, that pivot the wrong way.
[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_00]: The pendulum swung the other way.
[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like this is a huge back misfire from McKenzie.
[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, norms haven't happened yet, right?
[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_00]: But they're they're going to lock.
[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're locked.
[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_00]: This is McKenzie also not for nothing by one of the few HOHs that I feel like there's not
[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_00]: going to be a lot of wiggle room here.
[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I think the wiggle room will be will she end up putting Leah up anyway?
[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I think she might.
[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, listen, there's still the world where she accidentally gets the right move happen.
[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_00]: If Leah wins the veto.
[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_01]: If Leah wins the veto and uses it on Angela, MJ puts up Rubina and they then finally sent
[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_01]: chemo home, I would imagine, which would be a much better spot for MJ.
[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_01]: But the entire house will have known that MJ was targeting Angela and Leah.
[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_01]: So if and when they win the next HOH, granted, it will be a double eviction.
[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Actually, it still could work out.
[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_01]: There's probably not enough time to throw MJ under the bus there.
[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think so.
[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it'll take a while before they cook that idea up.
[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And by the time they do, we're down to the final five.
[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_01]: So now MJ has to hope and pray that Leah wins the HOH and then and then hope and pray that
[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Leah doesn't listen to her when she begs Leah to not use it on Angela.
[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_00]: This is interesting.
[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Interesting.
[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Devastating, because I truly felt like I was seeing a new McKenzie.
[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I really did.
[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_00]: And not to say that there haven't been glimpses of this McKenzie throughout,
[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_00]: like in bits and pieces, but this last week felt different.
[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_00]: So to just revert back, because literally having T-Core leave was the biggest,
[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not working for Chelsea, I'm working for me.
[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the biggest person you can vote out in that situation.
[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_00]: So for that all to go back and now it's like, OK, did wait, did Chelsea win the HOH?
[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Because that's what it feels like.
[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think it's possible that what we were seeing last week was slightly different than
[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_01]: what we thought it was.
[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_01]: We thought it was MJ playing for herself.
[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_01]: It might have just been MJ playing for.
[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to I want to be the one with Chelsea.
[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Not you, T-Core.
[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: That's my spot.
[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Because that's kind of what it seems like this week.
[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_00]: That yeah, I mean, you know, the whole I'm going to get rid of this person so that this
[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_00]: other person is closer to me definitely rings true here without the worry of what
[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_00]: what's the T-Core relationship look like?
[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_00]: There's more time for you.
[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_00]: So.
[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, we'll see.
[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_01]: So this is this is the plan.
[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And the plan is she tells Rubina this right after like, hey, I'm lying to Leah.
[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Leah's really trying to get me to not put Angela on the block.
[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_01]: But I can't evict Leah myself that that would really mess up my jury management.
[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_01]: That is her excuse.
[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And I hate it.
[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I hate that she's telling everybody.
[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sorry, Kimo.
[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_01]: You need to go on the block because of my jury management.
[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, I just need to I just need to make sure I have Leah's vote in the jury.
[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm putting you on the block as my pawn.
[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Sorry about that.
[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, Cam.
[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sorry.
[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't be the one to take out Leah because I need her jury vote.
[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_01]: So even though she's coming after you, probably I'm going to leave that to you guys.
[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't love it either, but I will say what is your do you feel like if there ever was a cast
[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_00]: that like, OK, it's kind of this cast.
[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how much weight that's going to hold.
[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I I maybe I missed it, but I did not feel like Kimo batted an eye.
[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I would have batted many eyes.
[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I would have been perplexed that you have the audacity to say this to my face.
[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to bat an eye when somebody's the HOH and they control your faith.
[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Smile and wave.
[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think that's the main thing here.
[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_01]: So so that's what she's telling them.
[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_01]: She says Angela's the target.
[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_01]: She can't target Leah this week.
[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_01]: But hey, free pickings next week.
[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_01]: She's got to go.
[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_01]: She tells Rubina and Kimo that she wants to get to the final four with them and Chelsea.
[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And they talk about it afterward and they're like, yeah, that sounds good to us.
[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we can take her out that essentially.
[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_00]: They were like, yeah, final three.
[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Me, you and Chelsea sounds good.
[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the move.
[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_01]: She tells Cam that if Angela wins HOH, she thinks that Angela will put Cam and Chelsea
[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_01]: on the block.
[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_01]: And I guess that's not good in her mind, even though I think that would be great for her
[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_01]: but in her mind, that would be bad for her because she'd lose Chelsea.
[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, not the person that beats you in the end.
[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, talking about jury management, I personally would be very OK with someone else
[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_00]: taking out my two best allies and me not having to be the one to do that and look them in
[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_00]: the face and do that.
[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, if if they were your only two allies, I would be like a little concerned.
[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to go down to the end of the game by myself.
[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_01]: But if I have two other allies that are if it's two of my allies taking out two of my
[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_01]: other allies, that's also something I wouldn't necessarily want in if it was like final 10.
[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to keep all my allies.
[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_01]: But what I wouldn't do is take out one of my own allies to protect one of my other own
[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_01]: allies at any point.
[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And yes, ultimately, we're at the final seven, final six, heading into final five after this
[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_01]: double eviction.
[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's the point in which the whole setup of having allies that are targeting each
[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_01]: other is useful because then they start targeting each other and you're sitting there and you're
[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_01]: riding all the way down to the end.
[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And then especially what's good is that they end up taking shots at the biggest jury threats,
[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_01]: the biggest comp threats.
[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_01]: They're the ones that get the shots taken at them the most.
[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And then that leaves you sitting with all of the hyenas, as Tony would call them.
[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_01]: So in Survivor.
[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_01]: So like, you know.
[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway.
[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, MJ is someone who for quite a few weeks this season, a lot of people looked at her
[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_00]: and talked about how she's a lone wolf.
[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_00]: She kind of has nowhere to go.
[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_00]: She has no real allegiances.
[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Here we sit 66 days in, and I think she has too many allegiances.
[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_00]: She has too many people that too many pairings that she could be working with.
[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like she is like, no, I'm loyal to this pair.
[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think you need to commit to that pair right now.
[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_00]: You can have two pairs.
[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Exactly, exactly.
[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_01]: And for what it's worth, this is also like why I pushed so hard for like why it was the better
[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_01]: move for Leah to get Chelsea and T-Core on the block together because of literally exactly
[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_01]: which is that Chelsea, MJ and Cam had all of the power.
[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And now Rubina and Kimo are just fully on board with that other trio.
[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_01]: She needed to cause tension between them.
[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_01]: She needed them to be campaigning against each other all week long.
[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_01]: MJ and Cam campaigning against T-Core to keep Chelsea.
[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Rubina and Kimo campaigning against Chelsea to keep T-Core to get some separation between
[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_01]: those two because Leah and Angela are just fully on the outside of a five person thing now is
[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_01]: essentially what's happening.
[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And she got lucky, very lucky with an MJ-HOH win.
[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that was almost best case scenario.
[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Angela would have been best case scenario, but MJ was the next best person who could
[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_01]: have won this thing.
[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_01]: The person who is the second least likely person to target her or Angela, and she's
[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_01]: still targeting Angela and she's still locked in with Chelsea.
[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's just like she got T-Core out, but it really did not do much for her game at
[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_01]: this point.
[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And so maybe if MJ was thinking a little more strategically, things could be a little better,
[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_01]: but that's not the case.
[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's why I think she really needed Chelsea up there and she really needed Chelsea
[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_01]: gone, but at least up there.
[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_00]: So as of right now, if everything goes according to this current plan, Angela goes home and
[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_00]: then at the double eviction, it is a 5v1.
[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_00]: And if Leah loses two comps, Leah's going to the jury house, which is not my ideal.
[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not that Leah's connection to it has anything, but I love a double that is very
[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_00]: contentious and very like, oh my God, anybody could go.
[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_00]: This feels the least like anybody could go ever.
[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't love that for me.
[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I guess also I have her in the draft, my lone player, but less that more the contentious
[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_00]: stuff, most more the drama of the double after waiting for it for so long.
[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_00]: A double isn't really what I'm here for, but.
[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I mean, luckily we are it's what the 20th and the finale is the 12th, so we are
[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_01]: almost exactly three weeks away, just three weeks and a day away from the or sorry, the
[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_01]: finale is the 13th, I think.
[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So just over three weeks, maybe we got a little bit of a slower three weeks ahead of us at
[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_01]: this point.
[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Did you say you just say luckily it's ending soon?
[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_00]: The end is near is in sight.
[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, we've had a good run.
[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want I don't want like it to be too long in the slow portion.
[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Then I agree how good it's been.
[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm with you there.
[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_00]: As of right now, if everything goes the way it's planned or talked about for the next
[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_00]: week, look at Chelsea as your new winner of big brother.
[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_00]: That's really where if we get to the final five and the final five is McKenzie cam Chelsea
[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_00]: chemo Rubina.
[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Give it up to Chelsea.
[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I really don't see unless someone has a John party moment and goes, nah, you need to go.
[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't see this being anybody else's.
[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I, I don't know if I'd say it's that locked up, but like she definitely is the I mean,
[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_01]: given MJ's plan this week, MJ Chelsea certainly takes the lead again as the front runner.
[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And and then it's hard to see her leaving again until like end game, maybe sitting in
[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_01]: final two and probably having a very good chance to win the whole thing.
[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Good times, good times.
[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I also want to say, though, we still don't know who wins the veto.
[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_00]: We still don't know if there's something in the water and they snap out of it.
[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_00]: We go back to janky mode for some folks.
[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_00]: So there's still there's still a window.
[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a pretty small crack in the window, but the window is still there.
[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_00]: It might get sealed shut, but I want to lose all.
[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, the so the right now what it looks like the potential outcomes are.
[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Would be Angela wins the veto.
[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, what happens?
[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Then it becomes is MJ going to backdoor Leah or put up Rubina and sends him out?
[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And considering how much push there will be, I think it might be Leah.
[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Then there's if chemo wins, the veto takes himself off the block.
[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's an easy Rubina replacement as the pawn for Angela, though.
[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Again, I expect there to be a lot of push for Leah, and it's possible that she does Leah as well.
[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Leah wins the veto, uses it on Angela.
[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Rubina goes up, chemo goes home.
[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Very likely Rubina wins the veto.
[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Use it.
[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Use it on chemo almost forces Leah on the block and Leah likely leaves at that point.
[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and that's, that's kind of the various scenarios.
[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I think, I think it's basically there's three possibilities for people to leave this week.
[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_01]: It's Leah chemo, Angela with Angela being the most likely at this point.
[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Very much the most likely.
[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, where's the janky veto this week?
[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, all right.
[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's what we have for you then.
[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Anything else you wanted to bring up?
[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I sat there when they got the HOH keys, the room.
[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I sat there for so long waiting for it to be McKenzie alone, maybe get a conversation with
[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_00]: somebody.
[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_00]: It went nowhere.
[00:28:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm it is my fault though.
[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_00]: She made it very clear.
[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_00]: She did not want to talk to Angela.
[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_00]: So it basically became as sorry.
[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Talk to Angela last night.
[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_00]: It basically became a waiting game of Angela needs to leave this room and then the night's
[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_00]: over and it went on a while.
[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_00]: She did thank camp for staying in there with her.
[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_00]: But then other than that, we got nothing else.
[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_00]: We did get a little conversation with Kimo and Ravina later in the night where essentially
[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_00]: he wanted to be in or like, yeah, final three.
[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I picture us with Chelsea.
[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_00]: That's, that's what I picture happening.
[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_00]: And then me and you in the final two seats.
[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_00]: So there you go.
[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_00]: That's all you got.
[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_00]: There you go.
[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, all right.
[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that is where we have for you today.
[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll be back tomorrow morning, 11 a.m.

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_01]: She's certainly gonna have some thoughts about going on the block on an MJ HOH considering,
[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_01]: uh, you know, all of the conversations they had the previous week.
[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, so, uh, stay tuned for that and I'll give you the update on it at that point.
[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, the Q and a is not going to be today.

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_01]: So the Q and a will be tomorrow after the update.
[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, so, uh, we'll have a good time with that.
[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and, uh, that's, that's, that's kind of what we got.
[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_01]: That's, that's, that's it.
