[00:01:34] Rob said that he could do it. Tomorrow he will do it again. Hello everyone and good morning. Welcome to our Live Feed Update for August 5th. I'm your host, Taran Armstrong, and I am here today to update you on everything that happened yesterday
[00:01:56] on the Big Brother 26 Live Feeds. It was day 20 in the house. And, oh boy, there's a lot to get to today. There's a lot that happened. A lot of plans being made, being changed, being made again, being changed again.
[00:02:16] There's a lot of shifting in terms of how, you can't really call it structure, but maybe placement and we got to get into all of it with me to talk about all of it. I do not know. I'm doing really well.
[00:02:32] It's my first Live Feed Update of the season and they really, they got me with a doozy here. I was like, are the feeds going to go down today? There's just so much going on and like it's kind of going back and forth
[00:02:44] and long conversations that going around in circles, but I'm happy to get this like you really get in the season when you start doing some updates. And so I'm happy to be here to like really get in it.
[00:02:57] Yes, they really were like, yeah, remember when we were going to make this a boring week? Well, Taryn is sick. Absolutely. They had no consideration for your health, Taryn. No consideration. Let's get straight into this. There's genuinely a lot that happened yesterday.
[00:03:18] We talked about how Quinn was starting to get caught because of all of the line of information where he, where Angela told Tucker about his power, then Kimo confirmed it. Then Tucker told Joseph, then Tucker told Cam,
[00:03:36] then Cam told Cedric and how they were kind of annoyed about it. They gave Quinn kind of one last chance to come clean. He continued to deny it. So with that in mind, Cedric is the HOH, Angela, Kenny, Tucker on the block.
[00:03:52] Tucker won the veto. Tucker did mention that he was like, hey, what if we put Quinn on the block? That's that's a cool idea. But it was kind of like, will that actually happen? We'll get to it as of right now, though.
[00:04:10] The plan had landed as of the previous update on Cedric nominating MJ to flush her power and then America would choose the replacement nominee and one of Angela or Kenny would be the person to be evicted.
[00:04:29] Ideally, Angela from Quinn's point of view, ideally Kenny from some others points of view. That's where we had left off, John. Yes. And you know, I mean, it's a very likely plan. You know, they want to flush this power out.
[00:04:45] They also would get a lot of information just to see how people are being perceived, who is involved in the season, who's, you know, what the audience is liking or not liking.
[00:04:54] They just would get some information if MJ's power worked the way that she has claimed it has. So, you know, it's it's it made sense. You know, I understood why that this would be a potential for Cedric to put up
[00:05:07] and he doesn't seem to want to get any blood on his hands whatsoever. And so it was easy to get everybody to jump on board to MJ because I'm surprised because I think that people would should be scared that like,
[00:05:21] oh, maybe I'm not going to be well perceived by the audience and I might get thrown up there. But it seemed to be wanting to go along with this plan and they're happy with not having Cedric get any blood on his hands. Yes. So so here's the deal.
[00:05:34] I'm going to try to make this as efficient as possible because there's a lot of information to sift through and I'm sick. So let's let's let's tell the story here. So, I mean, first of all, there's still a lot of discussion being had about Kenny versus Angela
[00:05:52] and a lot of the women are talking about wanting Kenny gone because Kenny continues to bring up the fact that he thinks that there's a women's alliance. He thinks that it's being run by Brooklyn
[00:06:03] and it's very clear to them that Kenny really has no interest in working with women in any capacity. And on top of that, he's good at competitions. He came in second place in the first HOH. He won a veto last week and according to him,
[00:06:21] at least I think he came in second in this latest veto competition. And so it's concerning like this guy. He's like is he does he want to be here? Does he not want to be here? If he doesn't want to be here, what is he doing here?
[00:06:34] And if he does want to be here, why does he only want to work with men? And so with all of that in mind, a lot of the women, Brooklyn, of course included, are kind of feeling like well, why don't we just vote him out?
[00:06:47] I mean, I would like that. Obviously, we're frustrated with him wanting to go and wanting to stay and wanting to go. But it seems that it falls on when the women have the power, he seems to want to go a lot more.
[00:07:03] And then as soon as the men get the power, he's willing to stay, which we'll get into probably a little bit later how much he's willing to kind of stay in the game. So if I were in the house,
[00:07:15] I'd probably want to go for Kenny because he doesn't want to be here and he's saying my name. So I get it. Yes. In the meantime, though, Kenny wants to invite Quinn into the Shake Them Up Alliance, the Shaker Boys, whatever they're calling themselves nowadays.
[00:07:37] And he genuinely like makes an approach to Quinn that's like, hey, I think we could work together. I think this is something that could be good. And what's funny about this is that like while this is happening,
[00:07:51] Tucker is formalizing the idea in his mind that he wants to pitch for Quinn to go. I mean, what's really fun or for me anyways watching is that Quinn actually has no idea how much damage control he should really be doing.
[00:08:09] And like he's kind of is operating like it's like he has the protection of this power, but realizing that he doesn't really have the protection of the power and they're wanting to come in and flush it out.
[00:08:22] And so it was just very ironic just watching him kind of being pulled into things that people are with the people that are actually going to come and try to target him. Because Tucker, I think he's I think he still has Quinn on his radar.
[00:08:33] I know things kind of shifted and an idea shifted, but I think it really bothers him that he hasn't been honest about this power. And so I don't think he'll let that go until he prevails. Yes. So so Kenny goes to Tucker
[00:08:50] and he says, hey, like I talked to Quinn. I feel like we can pull him in and Tucker's like, oh about that. I've got an idea. And his idea is that he wants Quinn to go on the block as we've as we've sort of like been talking about
[00:09:09] and he's going to make this pitch and this is where things get interesting in the day because again up until this point the Tucker pitch has been MJ We've talked a lot about this that like this house has just been whoever suggests a thing at all.
[00:09:26] Like that thing will just happen because nobody's willing to suggest things except for Tucker or maybe Joseph and everyone else is just like, well, I guess we have to do it because that's what people are saying that they want
[00:09:40] and nobody else is saying that they want anything else. And so Tucker makes this pitch to Cedric and he says what if I don't take myself off instead. I use the veto on Angela. And Angela comes off the block and you replace Angela with Quinn
[00:10:04] and then we beat Quinn in the AI Arena competition. Ideally, I throw it to Kenny and then I sit up on the block against Quinn. And when in those two minutes that you have time to campaign, I tell everyone about his power.
[00:10:25] We flip the votes against him and we send Quinn out the door. How are you feeling? What are you pulling your hair out with this idea? This is plan. I mean, I would want it to happen just to see it fail.
[00:10:42] I think with Tucker, he really needs to be doing something. I think this game is a bit too slow for him. He might be more satisfied playing like a survivor or the challenge where you have these active challenges and it's always kind of forward moving
[00:11:01] instead of just kind of sitting. He feels like people are not actually playing the game if they're not doing something. So I kind of understand why he keeps on wanting to put himself on the block and play in all these competitions is because he needs to be invigorated.
[00:11:16] But I would think if someone's going to put themselves in that position, like at this time, it would be the second time that he's doing it. He wants the fanfare of getting Quinn sent out the door like in this kind of spectacular way.
[00:11:35] So I would want it to happen. But instead of Quinn going home, they're just be like Tucker, you're too messy. You gotta go. Ideal. It's a wild idea. It really doesn't make any sense for Tucker or really. It certainly doesn't make sense for Cedric.
[00:11:54] But the idea is that like, hey, like let's get this guy out and I'm willing to like lay my life on the line to send him out the door because he's too good. He's got this power. He's been lying to everyone.
[00:12:08] He only told emo he's in alliances with everyone in the house. It's he's a problem. He needs to go if we want to win this game Quinn needs to go and and he's not necessarily wrong.
[00:12:21] Quinn is a great target and making this pitch makes some amount of sense. It just doesn't make sense in the in the way where he's doing it with himself. Not being taken off the block because let me let's just take this quickly
[00:12:36] at face value, right? Let's say Cedric goes along with this. It happens the way that Tucker wants it to like almost definitely Tucker gets voted out there. Like right and which would be amazing for us like he yeah,
[00:12:53] like he plans to like he wants to throw the AI comp to Kenny which on its face just gives Quinn too much of a chance to pull out a win
[00:13:03] and he says like, oh well, I'll hopefully like last time I'd be able to see who was doing well. And so I'd know who to throw it to like, okay, let's say even if he does manage to successfully throw it to Kenny.
[00:13:16] He plans to wait until the night that night that that two minutes to do his campaign and reveal an out win and all of that stuff and I like what is he think is going to happen in the days leading up to that
[00:13:35] when he uses the veto on Angela and Quinn goes on the block and they're supposed to just like sit on their hands and be like, yeah, I guess Quinn's up on the block now and then wait until the final second to try to campaign.
[00:13:47] It's a terrible idea and Cedric immediately basically is able to recognize that it's a terrible idea and says well, no, we would need to start campaigning as soon as Quinn touches the block and Tucker's like, oh yeah, okay fine. I guess it well a hundred percent
[00:14:01] and if the most majority of the house would prefer, you know, Angela or Kenny to be the ones going home and now you're saving these people like I just do it out of spite
[00:14:12] and be like I didn't I didn't want you up there you want yourself up there. So we're going to take you out since you didn't allow us to get the people for the person that we actually wanted out of the house out.
[00:14:21] So I know that Tucker has these dreams of this like fantastic plan, but I agree with Cedric if you're going to do that you are going to have to get gain the votes like leading up because who knows what actually is going to happen at the AI arena.
[00:14:35] It might be something that you're not going to be extremely good at like look at the first one. The first one they were counting people's like images on different screens and the next one was a puzzle with the physical element.
[00:14:49] So he can't predict what it's going to be. And so I kind of wanted to do it just to be proven wrong. So so cam ends up joining this conversation and it's it's four people up there.
[00:15:02] It's Cedric cam Tucker and Kenny and they start talking about working together. They call themselves the ball boys or that's what like they, you know, I don't know. They're the ball boys is it because of that they're going to play ball like what's
[00:15:22] it's just it's just who they are. It's just it's big Kenny energy. So they're talking about this and and Cedric is pretty reluctant about this plan to begin with the ball players. Sorry, but they're really again. They're they're the ball boys.
[00:15:43] And so the Cedric is pretty reluctant because it's a terrible idea for said like, okay, let's say even even if they do work on. Campaigning against Quinn ahead of time. It is possible that they could they could get the votes like Cedric is like,
[00:16:03] well, you know, you're saying that Quinn has all of these women that are working with him. Then wouldn't they want to you know, wouldn't they want to vote keep him and Tucker's like now I've got all the women. Don't worry about that. They all love me.
[00:16:21] They're all coming to me for things like I can get them. I can get their votes easy and he's like, okay, so it's like, okay. Well, even if we do get the votes we put Quinn on the block.
[00:16:34] We we out his power. We let we tell everyone that he's playing everyone. Here's the here's another problem. What if he's already told a bunch of them all of this stuff that we're just finding out now if they already know they're not going to care
[00:16:46] and they're still going to vote keep it Tucker's now doesn't matter. I got those votes. I got him. It's fine. That's like, oh, okay. Okay. Well there fine. Okay, we probably have the votes do they have the votes? That's questionable. They could probably get them
[00:17:01] but it's definitely a lot sketchier than Tucker things. But but then it then the problem is okay, you can maybe get those votes by outing his power by saying he's playing everyone. What they didn't really talk about is that he could pretty easily potentially get them back
[00:17:24] with the effective campaign of you caught me. I've got this power. And if I stay this week, I can use this power and I'm HOH. So basically I'm HOH next week if you keep me and guess who I'm going after Cedric Tucker Penny
[00:17:47] and guess who I'm not going after anybody that votes to keep me and it's a pretty effective campaign. Like there's a lot of reason to keep Quinn around and guarantee yourself a week of safety because why would he turn around
[00:18:02] and you know target anybody that kept him when he's just been outright targeted by Tucker any and maybe he could even say say like it's Tucker Kenny Angela. I'll even give Cedric a pass because Cedric still does have some connections.
[00:18:18] There's a lot of reason that his campaign could actually change the tide. Okay, let's say he's not good at campaign. Let's say he's unable to win the votes back. You are able to get the votes. This is all going to work well,
[00:18:32] except he still has a one in three chance of winning the AI arena. Like Tucker is convinced that he can win any competition. He ever wants to win at this point and that may or may not be true given depending on the kinds of competitions they give them,
[00:18:46] but you're still looking at like probably at least a one in three shot of Quinn winning that AI arena competition. And if he does, he's the HOH next week and guess who is coming after Cedric, Cam, Kenny, Tucker.
[00:19:01] So like there's a lot of reason to not do this and Cedric recognizes this even if he doesn't recognize all of the reasons why he shouldn't do it. And so he tries to push back a bit.
[00:19:12] He tries to be like, I'm just a little worried about the potential ramifications. But again, everyone is so passive including Cedric that all it takes is for Tucker to be like, yeah, but like come on. And Cedric is like good point. I have a question.
[00:19:34] Why have they just not gone up to Quinn and being like, okay, Quinn we've given you a couple opportunities to come out with it, but we know about your power.
[00:19:43] We know that you da da da da da da da and then he probably would do like your Zayn be like, oh my God, I've been keeping this in not knowing what to do about like and he could probably get them back
[00:19:52] and they could probably start working together with the power. And so I'm just curious as to why you think they just won't talk to him, talk to him about it instead of just making him this enemy.
[00:20:02] I think it's because of how it came out like because it was leaked to them. There's a couple of things. One is that they don't want to like out the person that told them. And two, the fact that it came from Kimo to Tucker to Cam to Cedric.
[00:20:23] So like the fact that it was a chain like that means it's hard to like be the one that goes to Quinn to like talk to him about it without again a betraying that chain,
[00:20:36] but also like recognizing that you're nowhere close to the person he wanted to tell. And that's a shaky ground for that Alliance to be existing on in the first place. So there is a lot of reason to be hesitant about it, but like I think you are right.
[00:20:57] There's also a lot of reason to just go to Quinn because you have to kind of recognize that given that it's hard to take this power out in the first place. You might as well just get on board for now,
[00:21:14] you know, especially I think Tucker is the biggest one where like he hears he hears from Quinn. I'm sure sorry he hears from Kimo that yeah, then just go to Quinn talk to Quinn align with Quinn, but that's sort of expecting rationality from Tucker.
[00:21:30] So but I understand it more from Cam and Cedric who are supposed to have already known from Quinn and it came from a longer chain to them. Cedric is displaying some reluctance,
[00:21:44] but Tucker is just pushing right through and Cam is not helping because Cam is just kind of like, yeah, I guess this kind of makes sense. And so they start talking about it more like okay.
[00:21:57] Well then I guess if we did this, this is how we would do it. We have to keep it a secret until it happens because they think it probably power will be able to negate it until before he's blindsided. So he has to be blindsided
[00:22:08] and then afterward they can tell everyone hey, this is why he has a power. He's playing everyone in the house. He's in a million different alliances. If we all if any of us want to win the game, we have to take him out. He's too good at this
[00:22:18] and they'll gather the votes they'll beat him in the AI competition and they'll vote him out this week and it's like, oh, okay, like this is this is all kind of set in place. Like they are working together. They want they want to make this happen.
[00:22:32] The real question is how how real is this for Cedric? Is he just kind of going along in this conversation or is he actually going to do this? So after they leave Cedric talks to the cameras and he I mean he does this Cedric thing
[00:22:45] where he's like, are you going to read it active? Please? So he's actually very entertaining the way he talks to the cameras. I did enjoy his camera talks. It's kind of like a pump up session. I hate it because he's whispering. If he wasn't whispering,
[00:23:00] I'd be fine with it. But like the antics make the whispering even harder to hear. But he's like, what am I going to do? Like, oh man, now I got Tucker over here. I got Quinn over here
[00:23:15] and it's like, like when were you doing like the problem is the Quinn is in the Pentagon. And so like what then he's going to out the Pentagon. So like what do we do there? And so basically the issue is it's beyond just will this shot land?
[00:23:33] Will Quinn retaliate? It's that if he takes the shot at Quinn, it destroys his entire structure. Now his entire structure is a bad one to begin with. It's there's no solid foundation, but he doesn't know that.
[00:23:46] He thinks that there is a solid foundation and that by taking the shot at Quinn, he's potentially demolishing this entire foundation, the entire structure and then restructuring with like the ball boys as the core. With you know, or not the core, but like as one of the cores
[00:24:04] and then having to he basically says like, oh well if we do this, like I'll have to find a replacement for the Pentagon and all of this stuff. But I think I have to do this. I think I have to.
[00:24:18] I think we have to take this shot. I'd rather go down swinging. And if I don't take this shot, I'll have two of the best competitors in the house, Kenny and Tucker coming after me. And so I think it's going to have to happen.
[00:24:34] And so that's it. Like as of that moment, Quinn is getting blindsided by being put on the block in the veto ceremony, which is very funny because up until that point, I was already assuming that Quinn was going to hit the block because of MJ's power.
[00:24:56] But instead they have changed their minds and want to put Quinn up directly and take that shot directly. And and that is where things stood at that point. Now, do we still think that America would vote Quinn up
[00:25:14] if MJ were to use this power? Like if MJ was the one that was on the block, she uses the power. Audience gets the vote. Do you think it's still Quinn? Or do you think that that has shifted now that Quinn is kind of,
[00:25:25] he's kind of in an underdog position a little bit? Honestly, Chantel, you are going to have to tell me because I still have not been able to watch last night's episode and I think that's the biggest indicator of like where is the edit on Quinn right now?
[00:25:41] Okay. Well, I wasn't watching it like intently or intensely, whatever word I want. I mean, I didn't dislike Quinn in the edit, but I'd have to watch it again if I was looking for that information. Yeah. Chad is saying they're seeing Facebook voting potentially Joseph.
[00:26:03] That Facebook had Quinn and Joseph as top two candidates and okay. So yeah, I guess Joseph might be, I don't know. I guess maybe Joseph was in the episode last night and in a negative way or not enough.
[00:26:21] Not enough. I don't think I think like being invisible is fine because you don't attract enough hate but well, you know, there will also be the Wednesday episode and so, you know, like let's assume all of this goes down on the Wednesday episode
[00:26:41] and MJ does use her power. We will see all of this stuff about Quinn's power being exposed him almost potentially going on the block and then maybe not going on the block and then like what's the reason he doesn't go on the block?
[00:26:56] Is the audience rooting for him to go on the block to not go on the block? I think it will probably come down to the Wednesday episode. It's fair. That makes sense. So either way Cedric is down to do this
[00:27:09] and there are a few different ways that this could fall through, right? One way is that he could think about it for two more seconds and realize it's a terrible plan. Another way is that he could talk about it with Chelsea or Brooklyn
[00:27:23] and they could tell him it's a terrible plan. And very quickly he has a conversation with Brooklyn and Cam is there but he does not tell her about the plan which was the biggest indication to me that like this might actually go through
[00:27:46] because if he doesn't tell Brooklyn or Chelsea ahead of time, then there's going to be nobody to tell him no other than Cam and Cam is telling him yes. Now his conversation with Brooklyn was still I think a conversation that made him think about putting the brakes on
[00:28:04] because he's talking to her about the Pentagon, about the collective and she's like, yeah, it's so great for us. We're like so locked in. All we need to do is not do anything stupid and we're like we've got eight people. We have five within the eight.
[00:28:23] In a couple of weeks, the Pentagon controls everything and it's so easy and he's like, hmm, yeah. But like what if there was somebody who wasn't loyal in the Pentagon and she's like, like what if like, like do you think Gwyn is loyal? She's like, yeah.
[00:28:48] What do you mean? Of course. He's super loyal. He's like, oh yeah, okay. Yeah. All right. So he has that conversation. He later has a conversation with Chelsea and she's like, so like what are we doing? Is it it's probably MJ, maybe Leah.
[00:29:13] I mean Leah and he's like, yeah, yeah. He's like what? What's going on? Is everything okay? He's like, yeah. Yeah, I'm just like, you know, is do you think everyone's loyal in the Pentagon? Like do you think everything's like good with us? She's like, yeah, except for Cam.
[00:29:38] Like yeah, Cam is a problem. We know this. He's talking to Leah way too much and he's like, right. Yeah, that's the person I was talking about. But I just, you know, I'm just thinking she's like, yeah, just again shouldn't be rocking the boat here.
[00:29:54] Like Cam is a problem, but we can deal with him later. Like right now we focus on what we should be doing this week, which is MJ or Leah and he's like, yeah, yeah. I want to talk to you later tonight maybe and tell you some things.
[00:30:12] It's like, okay. Maybe he needs to have a woman come and talk some sense into him. He's being really cagey about it. I don't know if they're picking up on the fact that there's somebody else that he's alluding to or like,
[00:30:27] I don't know if she actually thinks it's Cam that he's speaking about. But well, she definitely did. I mean, she like she came into that conversation laser focused on Cam and because of the other plot line that we will get to shortly,
[00:30:42] which is that Cam is doing more stuff with Leah in that moment and she's ranting about it. And so she has no idea he's talking about Quinn at all. I just kind of wish that it was later in the night in that moment
[00:30:56] that he was just like honest with Chelsea and just like talk to her because he's kind of spiraling on his own with only having the influence of like the guys and they're not really leading him down the right path, especially for him.
[00:31:12] So yeah, I wish that he was just a little bit more forthright with his thoughts. With his alliance members, right? Like they're supposed to be working together pretty tightly. And so I wish that he was a little bit more transparent.
[00:31:24] Yes, to me this read as like the kid who knows that he did something stupid and doesn't want to have to tell his parents. Or his older sister. Right, like... So, I mean, I was thinking about going to this party, but like I need your car.
[00:31:51] But like I know it's really stupid. Yeah, it's like I was going to steal it. Like I know you're going to say no because it's dumb, but I was excited about it. But now I'm thinking like maybe I don't actually have a good argument for why.
[00:32:08] So there's been conversations about, specifically from Chelsea, from like the women again, that like they are concerned that Cedric is just like being controlled by the guys, Kenny and Tucker. And she warns him about that. She's like, by the way, people are talking about you, Cam, Tucker,
[00:32:34] and Kenny being an alliance. He's like, what? The alliance I literally just started? My ball boys. And so basically like immediately without even talking to Brooklyn or Chelsea about the plan, they both had pretty strong rebuttals for the plan
[00:32:57] without needing to know about the plan ahead of time. It was A, don't rock the boat. We're in a great spot in a couple of weeks. The Pentagon, you know, will be running things. B, people are already suspicious of this ball boy group that you just put together.
[00:33:14] So don't think that you're being like sly with this. And C, don't rock the boat. Nobody wants you to do this other than those two guys. And, you know, I think it's because Cedric doesn't really understand the game enough.
[00:33:34] And so he just kind of, he doesn't have his own ideas what he wants to do and how the game should unfold. And so when he gets like this influence from like how Tucker wants to play the game and it's like, and as these guys are coming together,
[00:33:47] I think he kind of understands like their style of gameplay, non-actual gameplay. And so I just, I do really like the women just like actually just keeping them on track without being, knowing what he was actually thinking about doing.
[00:34:05] Yeah, I do like really like Brooklyn and Chelsea for that. One thing that you missed from the episode then is that Chelsea does a lot of narrating of the whole love, not even love Pentagon or whatever you want to call it.
[00:34:19] And there's a sound clip that you are going to pull for sure and that we are not going to hear at the end of. Well, speaking of Quinn is going to talk to Leah. Now he hasn't really been talking to Leah.
[00:34:35] So just to give a quick reset here over a week ago now, it feels Quinn had this late night conversation with Leah where he wanted to pull her in. They made a final two. He told her about his final two with chemo.
[00:34:51] He gave her a bunch of information. He said he wasn't, he doesn't, he didn't trust Cedric. He told her that Cedric made a comment about her, about how she, I keep forgetting the exact wording of this,
[00:35:03] but like sold her game for a bag or something along those lines. Basically that she gave up her game to be with Matt. And she's been wary of Cedric ever since. And she, however, after that conversation and in that conversation, she also like Alliance zoned him.
[00:35:28] Like, hey, this is not going to be a romantic thing. This is just a strategic thing. Is that okay? And then immediately afterward it was her and Cam, like all over the place. It was her and Cam and Quinn was very much like, oh, whoops.
[00:35:45] And he very heavily backed off. And so they haven't really been talking much strategically. They haven't been doing much. She has been putting in a good word for him here and there when the women are talking, but beyond that it's been very distant,
[00:36:02] which is very typical of how Quinn operates in the game where he like creates allies and then abandons them. So he decides he is going to like talk to her, but in a way that's like, listen, you're kind of in trouble again.
[00:36:22] He approaches her from that angle again where it's like, hey, there's a problem with you and Cam where people are wary of the both of you and it feels like you're saying that you're not into Cam, but people don't really believe that because they're seeing with their eyes
[00:36:40] that like something seems to be going on and he compared it to how Corey in America would constantly be like bashing each other and trying to pretend like they weren't into each other, but the reality is they were like in a show. And so he's trying to,
[00:36:56] I think he's like trying to go back to this well and rekindle this thing, feeling like there's a chance that it can still work strategically. But the reality is that he's neglected this relationship for so long that he just doesn't have
[00:37:10] the same social standing he did with her before. Now, to be fair to him in this moment, this conversation is fine. In this moment, Leah is like, you're, I get it, it's annoying, but I understand what you're saying and you know what? Cam is really annoying me
[00:37:34] because he keeps coming to me saying that he's the one protecting me from being on the block this week and it's like, I don't need your protection. Like stop acting like you're my savior. And I think this makes Quinn feel comfortable that he's doing the right thing.
[00:37:47] The problem is Quinn does not have the social relationship with Leah that Cam does at this point. And even if she's annoyed at Cam in this moment, they have more of a relationship. They talk more. You've lost the opportunity to be this person
[00:38:02] with Quinn or with Leah for Quinn. And so this is a very dangerous conversation for Quinn and it was a very dangerous conversation for him the first time. And then to have let it go and then try to come back to it is just potentially disastrous.
[00:38:18] But in this moment, it's kind of working and Leah is annoyed at Cam. And yeah, it is working a little bit but I'm kind of thinking Quinn just, to me it felt like it would appear to her like Quinn is interested in her
[00:38:38] and is trying to get between her relationship with Cam. Like I know she's actually not interested in Cam at all. And so I can understand Quinn wanting to kind of put his two cents in and help Leah in this game a little bit. But it actually, for me,
[00:38:52] it doesn't seem like Leah wants help in this game even though she really needs it. She's in a very bad position. People are just like, okay, yeah, we can put her up. Okay, yeah, we can get her out. Like nobody really wants her in the game
[00:39:05] and to work with her. And Cam does and Cam is giving her information and it's okay for her not to want him romantically. But I think she needs to be a little bit more clear with her boundaries with Cam because he is protecting her.
[00:39:23] Like I think that she would have more easily been the one that's going to be put up there as a replacement nominee if Cam wasn't there kind of steering the ship in another direction. And for her to just kind of be flippant and throwing it away,
[00:39:36] I'm like, I think this could be bad for her game like moving forward because I think that she does need Cam, like his influence. He has the influence of the guys. The guys like him and want to listen to him it seems right now.
[00:39:51] Well, Leah is frustrated with Cam here because of how he keeps acting like he's her savior. And so wouldn't you know it shortly after that Cam comes up to her in the shower and he's like, by the way, you are an option to go up,
[00:40:08] but I'm looking out for you. So I'm thinking it'll probably go the other way and she's like, okay, thanks. Who's the other option? And he says MJ and she's like, oh, okay. And so he's like, don't tell anyone. And so of course she tells a couple people.
[00:40:33] Okay, I know it's annoying but like he's giving you good information. That means that there's a relationship that's broken that maybe she's like, okay. Okay. Thank you for saying something. I won't say anything that you've said to me, but I'm gonna go and just like talk to Cedric
[00:40:46] and just try to maybe iron things out and like maybe see if I can get a better working relationship because if I'm an option, so I must be doing something wrong. So thank you for just kind of letting me know
[00:40:55] that things are, that I'm not in as a good position as I thought I was and let me just see if I can go fix that. That's how I would take it, but I guess she has the ick from him. So everything that he says is annoying her,
[00:41:05] but I mean to be fair, I think you should always be wary of somebody doing this. This is major red flags for me. If somebody is telling me... Like in a relationship or? In the game. Okay. Like if somebody is telling me like in this way
[00:41:23] where it's like, hey, I've got some stuff going on and you're in some danger, but don't worry. I'm gonna work on it on my end. Like that's not a partnership. That's I'm on the outs and there's somebody who's trying to use me as a number
[00:41:40] and that's a terrible position for me to be in. And so I'm gonna do everything in my power to blow up the house structure if that's happening to me. And if the person who's looking out for me needs to be a casualty in that, then so be it
[00:41:53] because I'm not just gonna be used as a number. Now that said, Leah feels like she does have some allies, one of which she thinks is Chelsea. And so she talks to Chelsea about it. MJ hears about this and she's gonna run straight up to Cedric
[00:42:12] and have a conversation with him where he is now having to talk to MJ about how she might need to go up even though he's currently thinking he was probably gonna put Cedric up or sorry, he's gonna probably put Quinn up.
[00:42:27] He still needs to act like he's going to put MJ up to her face because nobody can know that he's going to put Quinn up. And so he's talking to her about, yeah, you might need to go up and she's not very happy about this
[00:42:40] and it's kind of an awkward conversation. Well, and also like with the fact that Cedric doesn't want to get any blood on his hands, but that he's still getting blood on his hands with the plan that like with having to follow through
[00:42:52] with the plan that actually isn't happening because MJ is still going to be annoyed that she's an option. Basically what he's trying to do here is he's like if you don't end up going up, does that mean that you would then like me
[00:43:06] and want to use your power to help me? Fair. She did. I think it was this conversation like loosely threatened him, which I thought was just interesting because it was a similar threat to what Matt did to Angela being like, well, if you did this,
[00:43:20] like I might have to come after you. And so she kind of alluded to that as well and I believe was this conversation and I just thought it was funny because she wasn't gonna get any blowback necessarily for, you know, saying like, hey, if you put me up
[00:43:36] and I stay, which you know, I will because my power, I might come after you next week. And yeah, he didn't take it as a threat. So now MJ is kind of freaking out like, I think I'm gonna maybe go up on the block
[00:43:53] like this is not good. And in the meantime, Cam finds out because Chelsea's gonna be like, what are you doing? He finds out that Leah immediately went and spilled and now Cam is all mad and Cam goes up and talks to Cedric and he's like,
[00:44:12] I'm done with Leah. I'm done with her. I can't, I literally, I talked to her and she immediately spilled everything. I'm honestly probably gonna never talk to Shadi again. I think. I mean, we know that he's just irritated in the moment
[00:44:32] and that he will talk to her very soon. I would be annoyed too. Like, I know that you're saying that the way that he was doing it would irritate you and like you would not really be happy with him saying that he's protecting her or whatever.
[00:44:48] But if I was thinking that I'm working with somebody that they're my almost showmans, I think that I'm doing the right thing by letting them know that like I'm helping them and taking care of them and then they go and kind of blow that up.
[00:45:02] I would be irritated if I were Cam. I don't think that I would say that, never talking to Shadi again, but I would be kind of like, sorry guys. Like I won't be relaying any information with her anymore. I realize that we don't have the game relationship
[00:45:18] we thought, I thought we did and sorry, lips are sealed. Sorry. Yes. Well, Cedric is like good. You shouldn't talk to her again. People are worried about this and I honestly, I didn't know if I was going to talk to you about this
[00:45:34] because I was kind of like, like, oh man, I can't believe he's he's telling so much to Leah and I don't know how much you're going to talk to say to Leah. He's like, well nothing anymore. Nothing anymore.
[00:45:49] But they're still on for the Quentin plan at this point. They're like, well now let's talk about this because and Cedric says, I feel like when when Tucker was in here, it was all emotion, but we need to think about this logically.
[00:46:00] And so they say like, well, we ultimately like we do need to talk to like Chelsea about this. We need to figure out if this is the right play, but at this time, they are still feeling like this might
[00:46:12] be the right play, but they they are trying to talk it through but then they get interrupted. And so that's like, okay, we're going to need to talk more about this later. And so the plan is still on but there's definitely more details to iron out.
[00:46:32] I mean, at this point, I was like, oh my gosh, is this really happening? Like really? I was thinking that this is what was going to happen and I was kind of living for just seeing how this was
[00:46:45] going to actually turn out on the show and and if the plan was going to go as planned. So at this point, I was I was kind of on the edge of my seat being like, wow, we might actually get this to happen. Shocking. Mm-hmm.
[00:46:59] So in the meantime, MJ's again kind of like freaking out. She might go up on the block. She's going to talk to Brooklyn and she's like, what do I do? Brooklyn? Because as we all know, Brooklyn is the leader of the Women's Alliance.
[00:47:14] And so she needs help from Brooklyn and Brooklyn. Brooklyn says, listen, you're fine. You're not going to be voted out. It's going to be Kenny. And if it's not Kenny, it'll be Angela. And if you're on the block, even if you're on the
[00:47:29] block, you know at when we're voting, we're not going to vote you out. In fact, I don't think you should even use your power. I really don't think so. I think you shouldn't. I think you should save it.
[00:47:40] I don't think you need to use it and she's like, really? She's like, yeah, I swear on Texas. I really feel like you're fine. Oh man. Okay. Now, would you? So if she doesn't use the power, I then as a person
[00:47:56] that was living in this house, be like, well, we have her up on the block now and she didn't use her power and she could end up using it next week and it could put one of us in danger. Maybe we should take her out.
[00:48:10] So I mean, I understand what Brooklyn's saying that Kenny or Angela are bigger targets and if they're both on the block next to her, they would vote them out, but I could see people being persuaded to maybe take out MJ since she likely has one more week left
[00:48:25] of the power. So strategically, I wouldn't want to do it. Like I would probably use my power and just like, you know, just be safe. But again, kind of with how these house guests are playing the game, they probably would not vote out
[00:48:39] Mackenzie and Brooklyn is correct and Kenny would be the one who goes home. As of right now, I think that Kenny would be voted out over MJ probably, but not definitely, but probably. However, if Kenny wins the AI Arena competition and it's MJ versus Angela, I don't know.
[00:49:06] I don't know about that. You really voting Angela out over MJ who has more allies, has a power. He did really well on the head of houndstooth competition too, and it was in front of everybody. Like, I don't know about that. I agree. So it's definitely risky.
[00:49:29] But she feels fairly convinced here and when she talks to a group of people, including Cedric later, she kind of accepts like, okay, I feel like, you know, I feel like I'd be fine. Like, you know, they talk it through.
[00:49:48] They're like, listen, you have no chance of being voted that whoever goes up on the block is upon is a hundred percent safe. They talk about the different scenarios with MJ on the block and it starts to feel like she's actually willing to not use the power.
[00:50:08] And so luckily for her, the plan is currently Quinn, but she doesn't know that. And right now, she's kind of thinking I might not use the power if I go up on the block. Please don't. I just need to see all these scenarios like play out.
[00:50:26] I want to see if she stays. It would be shocking to me. Nobody regardless of she's against Kenny or Angela. I would be like we got to get her out guys. We got to get her out. But I just I just don't understand how people could be influenced
[00:50:42] to put themselves in danger. I think it must be with this AI arena that they all feel like they're not down and out, you know, they have like a pretty good odds of winning these things. If it's physical like the one that Tucker did, you know,
[00:50:56] MJ would likely be a lock to win that particular one. And so maybe that's why they feel a little bit confident being on the block on an eviction night. But I guess I need this this twist to go away for them to like to be more nervous.
[00:51:12] I need them to be more scared of being on the block. I need them to not be so willing to go up there put themselves in harm's way. And I think it's because they have the safety net of the of that comp.
[00:51:23] Yeah, it's I want them to be more scared. Well, Pam, you know, he made a declaration. He said I'm not talking to Leah ever again. And that lasted a couple of hours because he then is going to confront her about how she leaked this information and
[00:51:50] she denies it. She's I don't leak any information. I don't know what you're talking about. And he's talking about like now people are talking about like me in an alliance with Cedric and Hanny and people and it's like, where is that coming from?
[00:52:02] She's like, I listen, I had nothing to do with any of that and she is lying through her teeth about the leaking of the information. Although the the alliance stuff is fair and and it's listen, it's a long and awkward.
[00:52:17] It was really long and I was like it was painful to be fair. I I did, you know, jump ahead a bit because it just went around in circles and he's like, but you could see you.
[00:52:31] It's ironic that and like I just said to edit think the same thing and just maybe use the different words. So it was weird or it was it, you know, I just was suspect like I don't know. It was it was a very annoying conversation, especially because
[00:52:45] we like I knew that she's lying and he like I get it like he's upset and he's just trying to confront her but it was it was painful to watch. Perhaps on another update. We could have made a meal of this whole ridiculous conversation,
[00:53:02] but there's too much to talk about here. The point is that we eventually get to a place where Leah starts spilling some actual information to can mainly that hey, like I want to clear this thing up with Cedric like why
[00:53:24] am I an option in the first place because I had heard about this comment he made about the bag and she reveals that it was Quinn who told her that come in the first place. This of course sets alarm bells off with ham and they start
[00:53:42] spinning off in that direction. Quinn is the problem. Quinn has been doing all of this. Quinn is the one that made up that comment about Cedric. There was never a problem between Leah and Cedric. Quinn set her on that path.
[00:53:56] Quinn made all of this an issue and and now Cam understands the full extent of Quinn's Machiavellian, you know, movement and how and Leah is now aware that Quinn was trying to play her as well and trying to pick her up as a number.
[00:54:18] And so Cam is now like reinvigorated his relationship with Leah has been, you know, recovered and Quinn is the bad guy. Common enemy. And so it actually absolved Cam's like feelings of betrayal of Leah and now, you know, they can both go after Quinn the bad guy together.
[00:54:43] I mean, I get why she did it but it also was annoying and frustrating because I just I know Quinn was is trying to work with Leah and she just kind of just threw that relationship
[00:54:53] away under the bus just to I think it was to get her out of the hot seat and you know, like, okay, let's talk about something else so I don't have to continuously have him interrogate me about who I said what to but I was starting
[00:55:07] to feel bad for Quinn because he just doesn't have any idea that any of these things are going on about him behind the scenes. And if he ends up getting put up there, I think he's going to be so heartbroken.
[00:55:19] So I was starting to have like feeling a little heart pitter-patter for poor Quinn. I mean, I'll say again like I think Leah has even more reason to spill Quinn's info than she did cams. Like he's been so negligent in this and he did like the first
[00:55:37] time he talked to her. He was like you're in a shit position everybody like a lot of people are looking at you as an expendable target and and like hey, even Cedric said this thing about you. I don't think you should trust Cedric because he didn't
[00:55:53] trust Cedric and then that did cause a rift and did put her in danger that she was had this rift with Cedric and then he won the Hoh and so of course from her perspective that he's like set her up because he kind of unintentionally
[00:56:07] did and then never followed up never like was interested in in continuing that relationship because he was too worried about what she was doing and to be fair to him. She was doing a lot and there was a lot of reason to back
[00:56:19] away. But the issue is he never should have approached her in the first place in the way that he did. He should have been a lot more cautious. So the way that he approached her was super sketchy regardless of intent.
[00:56:30] And so of course she's going to spill this information, especially in a spot where it might benefit her and and if they're gonna you know go after Quinn like all the better for her house. The house structure that barely exists.
[00:56:44] It's blown up because of what she says that's great for her. It puts her in a much better position. Theoretically, there's a bunch of universes where Leah is evicted this week and and so like she's kind of struggling
[00:56:58] to survive at this point not to say that I think that she's doing anything like overtly strategic here and there's definitely some drawbacks to blowing up her relationship with Quinn, but like when might be about to have a lot of relationships
[00:57:12] blown up and and again, I think she has a fairly good justification for blowing this information up and could theoretically rekindle the relationship with Quinn later on if she needs to because he'll be probably hurting for allies. So anyway, that's what Cam and Leah are up to.
[00:57:32] In the meantime, Cedric is talking with Joseph and he's sort of putting the feelers out with Joseph about Quinn and how like who do you think has the other power? They talk about Quinn and Joseph again unintentionally is
[00:57:44] just kind of like yeah, Quinn probably has it because he knows Quinn has it. But here's the thing. I don't really care. Why would we really care? It's not a big deal and Cedric is like, yeah, but he hasn't
[00:57:54] like what if because he hasn't told anybody if he does have it and he hasn't told anybody isn't that like bad and Joseph is like not really like I mean, that's probably what I would do. I just I wouldn't want to say anything to anybody and like
[00:58:06] you know, what might have happened is that you know after a couple days he hasn't told anyone and then he's like close with people and then he feels like oh well now I've because I haven't told anyone I feel like I shouldn't tell anyone
[00:58:18] they'll be mad at me for having lied. And so I think it's probably fine like it's not like a big deal and I think this again like everybody that Cedric is talking to he's realizing that like this information is not
[00:58:30] the bombshell that he wants it to be a lot of people do not want him to rock the boat. He is in a good position according to like how he sees the game and a lot of people are already skeptical of him being
[00:58:43] in an Alliance with Tucker and Kenny and so this appears to be the final straw for Cedric as he then goes back and talks to him and cam dumps all of the Leah information on Cedric about like how Quinn is the one that told Leah about
[00:59:01] that comment first place. It's just like freaking Quinn is behind everything. Like what is he doing? He's aligned with everyone. He's got a billion final twos. He's spreading this information. He's running the house. He's the one planting targets on people.
[00:59:14] He's the one going around telling everyone that Kenny is look is thinking there's the women Alliance like this guy is such a problem, but but I don't know man like targeting him this week feels so risky.
[00:59:29] I talked to Brooklyn and she did the math and she said that the Pentagon will have the numbers by week six or something. So I don't know. I think it might make sense to wait until then and cam is like, but should we wait that long?
[00:59:41] Like what if Quinn takes the shot at us and Cedric is like that's yeah, that's a problem. I'm not sure maybe we can find a way to placate. And so Cedric I will credit him finally kind of comes to a better solution, which is okay.
[01:00:04] And it's you know, it's a better solution. I'm not necessarily saying it's the best solution, but he comes up with a better solution, which is like it's it's kind of like the Monty like if we can't beat him join him
[01:00:16] except in this case instead of like can't beat him in a competition where you theoretically could beat him. It's like yeah, because he's basically guaranteed HOH next week. We just need to survive one more week of Quinn having power and then he will not have the power anymore.
[01:00:36] And then we can take a shot. We can prepare and we can like knowing what he's doing. We can prep and so what if? We placate him by exposing Tucker and Kenny and that will get rid of this idea that we're aligned with Tucker and
[01:00:53] Kenny. It will focus him on Tucker and Kenny for next week if he does take over the HOH and it'll make him feel like we trust him and that he can trust us and that gives us time to prepare for the actual strike that we want to
[01:01:08] make on him where we can find a replacement for him ahead of time and we won't have to blow up our structure and it'll be a much better play. It's definitely a better play, but my question would be
[01:01:21] to them is do you not care at all about your relationship with Tucker and Kenny because you potentially could be losing them as allies. They could also be going out and those are the two powerhouses in competitions that you're kind of have in your group
[01:01:36] that's supposed to be helping you win power and dominating the game. And so I know he has other alliances with Pentagon and you know, the collective around it, but he just made this alliance with these other two guys.
[01:01:49] And so they might come back and retaliate against you if it gets out that Cedric was the one that leaked this information to Quinn about what was potentially going to happen. So it's definitely risky, but at least it's in the right
[01:02:05] direction that it might be a little bit too soon to take the shot. I also think that Joseph's, you know, what he said to Quinn, I'm sorry, what he said to Cedric was kind of like in the circle where it's like it doesn't really matter
[01:02:18] if you know who the catfishes are or like if you don't need to hunt the catfishes. Like okay, we suspect that Quinn has a power. Maybe he wasn't allowed to say something, whatever. And you just, you know where the power is.
[01:02:30] You have an idea of what it does. So that actually is information is kind of powerful. And so I think that at least it's allowing him to think a little more strategically about how to use Quinn and and nullify this power that he, that they're scared of.
[01:02:47] But so he's thinking a little bit more broadly, we'll say. So I think all in all, it's better. Yes. I mean, I think the idea here is that they're sacrificing Kenny. They're saying Kenny gets voted out this week. So it doesn't matter that we're burning Kenny.
[01:03:02] And then if Quinn is focused on Tucker next week and Quinn can hijack an HOH like sorry Tucker, Quinn's going to maybe be coming after you and Tucker has to deal with Quinn before he can deal with them. And he loves that position too actually.
[01:03:15] Tucker's like, yeah, I want to play. I want to play. So exactly. Like Tucker's not really a problem, especially if you like because like basically the way to neutralize Quinn is to like just hit him against somebody else while you sit back and let them fight it out.
[01:03:32] I think it's actually a pretty good plan overall, especially in comparison to where they were before. Now, you know, will they be able to pull it off? That's the other question because there's a lot of ways this could blow back on them and the truth could get out
[01:03:49] and Quinn could recognize that like, you know, once he realizes that he's been caught. He could shift things up. He could use this power in a different way. Like there's a lot of different ways this could also go wrong
[01:04:03] mostly because they've already kind of like gone a little too far down the path, but they haven't gone down the path so far that they're not able to pretty much blame it all on Tucker and Kenny. And so there's definitely a lot of reason that this a lot
[01:04:22] of ways that this can work, especially because now MJ is like accepting her place on the block might not even use the power and and by like pulling Quinn in closer, they will be able to gather more information from him that they can later use
[01:04:39] to sink him when the time comes. In addition to this, they are now looking to ideally like form a group of athletes. This is now the plan. It literally took like a couple of physical competitions in a row for everyone to be like, all right, there it is.
[01:04:58] We're back. Nobody else is going to be able to win comps. All we need to do is gather up the athletes and we're not even going to lose a competition. And the annoying part is that right? They're right. That is pretty much how it works.
[01:05:13] And if they do go ahead and do this and they are able to survive Quinn, I do think that they will just crush the rest of the season. If the competitions do not go back to being equitable. Yeah, and I feel like they must have watched last season
[01:05:30] in sequestered just for ever to be so hyped around these, you know, we saw the Jag pretty much one because the fact that he was so good at these physical competitions and I think that that's why what got Tucker so pumped up with
[01:05:42] these, you know, physical competitions and now this this group is forming building pulling together all the athletes. And so I think that chances are it's going to go that direction. I think I do think that it's going to be a lot of physical
[01:05:57] competitions coming up and we were so blessed with the fact that there was been like a whole bunch of different winners at the beginning of the season. And now I think it's going to go down one lane of one type of maybe I'll be proven wrong.
[01:06:12] I'll be happily be proven wrong, but I kind of agree with you that it's likely that these guys are going to start or these athletes are going to start winning a lot. I mean, it's it's a great example of how quickly it snowballs
[01:06:25] to include just a couple of of physical competition. Like the fact like one physical competition that doesn't even seem that physical but the flaw of its design is that it was actually very physical the AI arena puzzle, which was actually just carry big things over to another spot
[01:06:48] challenge that Tucker was able to completely dominate and then a more overtly physical competition in the balance beam. And and so like it's just like now all of a sudden it really starts to feel like yeah, there's such a dramatic
[01:07:07] difference between like there's a reason why they're like, oh Angela can't win a competition even though she already did because she didn't win a competition convincingly. It was a close competition. It was a competition that anybody could have won.
[01:07:20] But then when you experience what it's like to have a competition where Angela would never have a chance. Yeah, you then start to recognize. Okay, this is very different. So even just one or a couple of these competitions has a
[01:07:38] dramatic impact on how the game is played and how people approach the game. And so, you know, that's I think a problem by itself. And then when you start to say more than just a couple when you start saying half of the competition more than half of
[01:07:55] the competitions are like that. It's a massive problem. Well, and then it also determines who you're going to start evicting and be like, well, like maybe we want to keep people in here that either we can beat or we want to bring people
[01:08:09] into our alliance that we know that we'll be able to, you know, keep the power together and win these things. And so it just it just sucks because as much as Angela's been kind of annoying me, she was pretty fine today.
[01:08:22] Actually, I barely saw her but like I still want her to have a shot at winning some of these competitions. It's just not fun or fair or exciting. So watch like, yes. Okay, you are expanding on the diversity of people on the
[01:08:36] show and different ages and physical capabilities. Great, but then like them not being able to win competitions into win some power in the show. It just I don't know. It just it's kind of sucks. And so maybe we're wrong, right?
[01:08:52] Because we have seen quite a few variety and competitions so far. So maybe they just sprinkled a couple here just to see how they had land but really the rest of them is going to be more equitable. Let's let's hope for this.
[01:09:06] You're like, well, they do mention Cedric and Cam that they still don't trust Leah that she still ran to MJ with that info. She's still a snake. They don't trust her but it's good to know this information. They're not they're not going to work with her long-term
[01:09:25] or anything like that. And Cedric also drops like, hey, yeah, I always kind of knew Quinn was sketchy because he tried to form a final two with me a little while ago and I was like, whoa, I'm loyal to the
[01:09:38] Pentagon and he was like, oh, yeah me too, which is of course exactly how that happened. It wasn't Cedric that approached Quinn with the final two, but he's already trying to get ahead of that because he's he's recognizing that he's basically he's done completely done
[01:09:53] with quality control final two and he's ready for that to be outed as well and blame Quinn for it. I mean, he's at least he's thinking ahead. It's a little bit strategic. He's getting ahead of the story here because if if Quinn becomes
[01:10:09] the hot seat, he might start outing certain things. And so if he's already gotten ahead of this like people he won't get the blow back. And so yes, it's pretty smart. Yes, that is that is the idea and and that's I mean, that's
[01:10:23] pretty much where things leave off Cedric has walked down back down from the idea. Of of Quinn being backdoored this week and instead has decided to try to placate Quinn for for the next couple of weeks until
[01:10:47] a cleaner shot can be made in the meantime if Tucker and Kenny have to go down because of it. So be it now. We'll see if that actually happens. That's the kind of plan that it like makes sense on paper, but
[01:10:59] requires actual gusto to do and we haven't exactly seen the level of like proactivity in these players, especially Cedric. So like I I'll believe it when I see it that they actually go ahead and rat Kenny out but but that is theoretically the plan.
[01:11:25] They also plan to tell Tucker to use the veto on himself and not Angela to make this plan work, which like honestly just if you're going to sacrifice Tucker just sacrifice Tucker. But again, that would require some gumption that I'm not sure
[01:11:44] they have so so the plan right now is to nominate MJ MJ might not use her power to save herself and they might go ahead and rat out Kenny and potentially Tucker to Quinn to make sure that Quinn is focused on the two of them.
[01:12:06] They may wait until next week to do so which might be even smarter, but it also has a little bit of risk attached to it as well. So that is the current plan as of right now. We'll see if it changes anymore before the veto ceremony today,
[01:12:21] but we kind of went around in many circles to finally get back to where we probably started in the first place except now MJ might not use the power and the entire house is like balancing on a knife's edge in terms of its overall structure.
[01:12:37] Do you know offhand what time usually the veto happens on on Mondays afternoon ish. I think I'm just like I was like, I've got to like just interested like what's actually going to go down.
[01:12:49] I want to know I want to know so I'm just kind of I'm on sitting on a knife's edge here waiting to see if what actually will happen. Maybe the plan will change in the next couple hours again, but
[01:13:02] I definitely was surprised with how much went on on a Sunday in the Big Brother White House so early in the season, but I'm actually happy that we I feel I feel good. I feel it was cathartic and I feel like I understand the
[01:13:19] structure of the house more. And so yes, this was this was a good one for me. Thank you. Yes, basically war has broken out in the Big Brother 26 house. It's just that most people don't know it yet.
[01:13:32] So we will we will wait and see what happens with the Quinn versus Cedric war. But in the meantime, that is about what we got Chantal anything else you wanted to bring up? No, I honestly I do think we got everything that I was thinking
[01:13:50] that we're going to talk about so I'm good. Okay. Well, I will of course be back tomorrow at 11 a.m. Eastern to update you and everything that happens today on the Big Brother 26 live feeds including the result of this
[01:14:02] veto ceremony and and if anything else happens with the the Quinn stuff and then tomorrow night's roundtable will rate these players. That's will be very interesting. Yeah. Oh man, I don't even know how I would rate them right now. But it'll be a good one for sure.
[01:14:26] It'll be fun. So stay tuned for that. And then of course on Wednesday, we'll have another love veto episode where we'll see a lot of this hopefully in the episode and we'll be recapping that the slop also I believe is going to be today with America.
[01:14:46] Who I don't know may or may not have the ability to choose the replacement them. Wouldn't that be like a funny twist and be like, did you think that we met all of America? We just met America Lopez is going to be deciding. Yes, of course.
[01:15:02] The slop is patron only which I imagine is quite necessary, especially with America on the podcast. So if you want to tune in for that, you know become a patron Rob is a podcast. You can also find me on Twitch. I'm hanging out. I'm talking about things.
[01:15:17] I did go live yesterday to talk about this Quinn backdoor plan briefly, although I am still recovering at the moment. We talked about the House of the Dragon finale last night, which is very fun. To check that out. I'm Chantel anything you got going on.
[01:15:41] I just have to say I actually forgot to buy the stuffy the tell us stuffy. So like I was like I was just saw you and I was like, oh my gosh, I would be one of those people like can you open it up again? Eric?
[01:15:55] Can you he's like and oh, you don't get you don't get upset. I totally forgot in the end. Anyways, I did want to mention that but for me you can find me on Twitter at Shan underscore underscore underscore friend
