BB26 Roundtable Wk 4: Quinn’s Power Takes Over

[00:00:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Hello everyone and welcome to the Big Brother 26 Roundtable Podcast.

[00:00:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm your host Taran Armstrong and this is of course the podcast where we talk about everything

[00:00:25] [SPEAKER_06]: from the feeds and we rate the players from 1 to 10 based on how well we think they are

[00:00:30] [SPEAKER_06]: doing in the game this week.

[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_06]: And with me this week to talk about all of the happenings, she's back.

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_06]: It's Melissa. How you doing, Melissa?

[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I am doing great. I'm so happy to be back.

[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I have been waiting and waiting and patiently watching feeds and all the recaps and everything.

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm wanting to talk about, look we've got the whole gang here.

[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Dogs in the background barking, baby on the side, everything's happening.

[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it's very, very good to be back.

[00:01:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we've got a special visitor.

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh my God.

[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_02]: We've got a baby.

[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Fresh baby.

[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Hold on. How do I make, how do I make Melissa? No, not me.

[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_06]: I want to make Melissa big.

[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_00]: It's too late, Taran.

[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Taran's like, just me. I just want to have me on here.

[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_00]: That baby won't steal my spotlight.

[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Taran's like, get that baby out of here.

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_02]: He's so tiny. He's just a teeny little boy.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_02]: But anyway, I'm very happy to be back.

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like literally texting Sam like last week being like,

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_02]: when am I getting back on? I'm getting back on.

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I was very excited. So I'm very happy to be here to talk to my brother.

[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_06]: You were literally in the chat in the hospital.

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I literally was.

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_02]: It was, it was a really good time.

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I was literally, I was in the hospital bed like with all the IBS and the

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_02]: medications and me and everything.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And I was just like watching the round table and just like,

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_02]: because I was supposed to be on.

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I really had all intents to be on.

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I was supposed to be on the recap the next day too.

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And then baby had other plans, I guess. I don't know.

[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Well,

[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Melissa is not the only married mother on this podcast.

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_06]: She has some competition.

[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_06]: And that competition's name is Mari. How you doing, Mari?

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm good. No competition here.

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_00]: It's not like Angela and Brooklyn.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Like we can both be here.

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_00]: We can both be married mothers and we can both beat up on Teri.

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_02]: You can have more than one married mother.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes. What Mari says.

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. Oh, I'm so excited to be back.

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_00]: That just I like I'm over here like, oh, baby.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_00]: So cute.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, I'm happy and we're about to take some stocks.

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's take some stocks, Teran.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_06]: We love tank stocks here on the round table podcast.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_06]: The first portion of this podcast, we're going to talk about the

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_06]: week and the feeds are going to do a little bit of a recap.

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_06]: A little bit of a discussion on the top headlines of the

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_06]: week.

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_06]: And then in the second half of the podcast, we will rate

[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_06]: the players, each one of them individually on a scale of one to

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_06]: 10.

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_06]: That's what we're going to do.

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Those ratings then impact the price of these players in the

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_06]: stock watch game that you can play at home at reality stock

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_06]: watch.com.

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_06]: You can buy and sell shares of these players week to week

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_06]: based on how well you think they will do in the future.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_06]: So that's what we have.

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_06]: And ultimately, I think despite there being a fair amount of

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_06]: talk and theoretical movement,

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_06]: no significant actual movement so far this week.

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_06]: A lot of what we thought would happen did happen.

[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_06]: And we lost Kenny, which was sort of the not necessarily the

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_06]: result we expected, but I think the result that many people were

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_06]: hoping for.

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_06]: And that meant that Quinn, of course, was just going to

[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_06]: basically have an HOH guaranteed to him via the deep big power.

[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_06]: That happened when went after Tucker.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_06]: As we expected he would.

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_06]: And but then Tucker won the veto and then there was a whole

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_06]: whole thing.

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Was he going to use the veto on himself or on somebody else?

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_06]: A lot of back and forth yesterday, but ultimately we

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_06]: discovered today that that he did in fact use the veto on

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_06]: himself.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Rubina went up as the replacement, which means right now Rubina

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_06]: MJ and volunteer Cedric are on the block will face off in the

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_06]: AI arena competition.

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_06]: As of right now, MJ is the presumed target though that

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_06]: could change somebody like Chelsea might feel a little

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_06]: different.

[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Cedric should be lock safe right now that could also

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_06]: change somebody like T core chemo might feel a little

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_06]: different.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_06]: And Rubina could be in some trouble depending on how things

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_06]: go.

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_06]: If Mackenzie wins the AI arena competition, Rubina likely

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_06]: leaves if Rubina wins MJ likely leaves.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_06]: But but again there's a few days left for all of that

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_06]: change.

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_06]: The other stuff happening, you know, you have some

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_06]: some alliances coming and going.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_06]: There's an alliance called five points that's kind of

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_06]: barely real, but maybe a little bit and it's Tucker T

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_06]: core chemo Rubina in Brooklyn.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Tucker's been working closely with Angela.

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Apart from that, it's mostly been the same.

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_06]: And and that's that's pretty much the recap.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Melissa, you have been gone for a while.

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Tell me your thoughts.

[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_06]: What I know.

[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I know literally it was like, I didn't.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I only got to talk about the first episode.

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_02]: That was it.

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_02]: And all we got on the first episode was just like some

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_02]: half of the introductions and like a competition.

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_02]: So that is all I got to talk about.

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it's been crazy.

[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, like Angela is not at all what I thought she

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_02]: was going to be going into this season.

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_02]: She's just wild and you really never know what to

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_02]: expect from her.

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And then Tucker, like he's not what I expected at all.

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I thought he was going to be a fun character to

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_02]: watch, but I really didn't expect him to be this like

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_02]: erratic and this like crazy.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And the fact that we're all shocked that he used the

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_02]: veto on himself.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he is certainly a type of big brother player

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_02]: that you want to watch or at least I want to watch.

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm very excited.

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Like because you never know what he's going to do.

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if he's necessarily like playing a great

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_02]: game in terms of like actual strategy or like how we

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_02]: typically think of a great game, but he's certainly playing

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_02]: like an old school style of big brother that you

[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_02]: you're just drawn to, or at least I'm drawn to.

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_02]: It's very exciting.

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_02]: But I am worried that he's going to flame out really

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_02]: early just because he's winning so many competitions

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_02]: and he's not fully like solidifying himself with the

[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_02]: group.

[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I think like if he could market himself as you know,

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm this great comp like comp beast.

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Take me in and your alliance.

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's solidify something and I'll be working for you.

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, that would be great for him, but I have a feeling

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_02]: that people are going to be wary of working with him.

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_02]: At least I would be because you never know what he's

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_02]: going to do.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_02]: He could one day use the veto one day not use the veto

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_02]: decide that he just wants to say screw it and be put

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_02]: on the block as upon like I just wouldn't know if

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I could trust him.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_02]: But he's certainly exciting to watch.

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And of course there are two of the people on my draft.

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's great for me.

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_02]: It's tough for one pick.

[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_02]: So I know it's literally Tucker and Angel.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, what have I done?

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, that's fine.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, at least they're exciting for a week.

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_02]: One week.

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's good.

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, I'm so glad that both Angela and Tucker

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_02]: are safe because I want to see more of what

[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_02]: they're going to bring.

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I just feel like we haven't seen enough of them.

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And so I don't want them going home.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I do feel like I am liking a lot of the cast.

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I know it's still kind of early to say that.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like every year I start off being like,

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I love these people.

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I end up like hating half of them.

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So at this point I'm at a love situation where I do

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_02]: really like them.

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think they're fun and fun to watch.

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And even when they're like playing mafia or whatever,

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_02]: it's still kind of fun.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Or just like when they're chatting.

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if there are any people playing that are

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_02]: so amazing strategically yet.

[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that some people are playing better strategic

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_02]: games, but they're playing more like under the radar.

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't really know like if they'll be able to,

[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, pull it out in the end and actually really have

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_02]: the strategy.

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I think we've, I've heard you guys all talk about

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Brooklyn.

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I think she's doing very well.

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm very surprised because I honestly wasn't expecting

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_02]: that from her, but like she seems to be pulled into

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_02]: every single alliance at all times.

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And I, I'm always surprised when people are like,

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah, let's bring Brooklyn into this.

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause it's like, oh, was she part of your group?

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Or was that something?

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_02]: But she's doing a great job.

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_02]: So I mean, that's a good sign.

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, I've just been, I've been really enjoying it.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I think the, I know this has been talked to death,

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_02]: but it hasn't been talked to death by me.

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_02]: So I want to talk it, which is that it is impossible to watch

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_02]: feeds this year.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_02]: It makes it so much less enjoyable to not be able to rewind.

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I totally feel disconnected.

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel most connected when I'm on Twitter watching little mini

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_02]: clips of what's going on and reading about the feeds

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_02]: because I feel like every time I happen to be like,

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, I'll go turn on the feeds right now.

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just puppies and kittens and fish.

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And I never get what I want to see.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm always missing the strategy conversations.

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm always missing everything.

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And I have to like follow back on Twitter and get caught up on

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_02]: everything to figure out what just happened.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Typically my typical routine would be,

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I wake up in the morning on my own time and then I go on

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_02]: the feeds and I rewind to the night before and I get to

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_02]: watch everything that I missed.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And I feel very caught up and everything's great.

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And I can't do that anymore.

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's very annoying.

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And I just feel like they're ruining their own product and

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_02]: it makes it so much less enjoyable.

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And I originally didn't really talk much about this because

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_02]: like went on my, on my like two podcasts that I've done so far

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_02]: for this because I felt like they were going to change it.

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought for sure they were going to like be like,

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_02]: this is dumb.

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And then give us the rewind feature or at least let us

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_02]: rewind to like the start of the day or a few hours at least

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_02]: or something.

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_02]: And they have given us literally nothing.

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's classic big brother, classic CBS.

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_02]: But anyway, I, that has been very annoying for me.

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And I just feel like without the clippers on Twitter,

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I would not have any clue what is going on here.

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, imagine the fact that feeds were started or

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_02]: whatever.

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm literally like in the hospital and I can't watch anything.

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I would have no idea what was going on if I didn't have my phone

[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and I didn't have Twitter.

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, that's, that's all I'm going to say about that.

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'll let it go because I know everyone's annoyed about

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_02]: like people constantly bringing this up and blah, blah, blah.

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, that was very frustrating and it's been

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_02]: really frustrating.

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_02]: So thank you, Twitter.

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you to the clippers.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, sorry.

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_06]: Clippers.

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_06]: My head went to like scissors.

[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm not going to lie.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I thought you mine went to the basketball team.

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I was going to say that,

[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_06]: but I wasn't sure that was an actual basketball.

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm glad to know that my head was in the right place.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Listen, I know, I know about basketball now.

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_06]: I watched them at the Olympics.

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I know all about Steph Curry.

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_06]: I love that.

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Did you see that French commentator who's like, Oh no,

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Steph Curry.

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh no, the devil hands.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_02]: It's so funny.

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I did.

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it's so good.

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_00]: No, that's talking sports.

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I do agree with you, Melissa.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_00]: It's been hard.

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Literally for me being up in the middle of the night,

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I turn them on at the middle of the night.

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, oh look,

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually catching the feeds live because I have no choice.

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I just might as well wash the feeds while I'm trying to rock

[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_00]: this baby back to sleep.

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_00]: But you're right.

[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it can be hard,

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_00]: but that's why like I appreciate the big brother community that we

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_00]: have on Twitter who keep us up to date,

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_00]: keep the updates up to date so that we can then,

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_00]: you know,

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_00]: work our magic and find what we need to find in order to do

[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_00]: what we do.

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_00]: So shout out to those people.

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean,

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_00]: RHA P he's been catching a lot of flack lately.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I guess you guys, you guys have nobody in the house to rag on.

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Everybody's so lovable.

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Now y'all got to come for RHA P.

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I don't like it.

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't like it.

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_00]: We're clapping back over on Twitter.

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_00]: So that is me.

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I want all of the smoke.

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_06]: I want none of it. Listen,

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_06]: I can't get out of it.

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I want all of the smoke.

[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Terrence and innocent people have been ridiculous,

[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_00]: ridiculous coming in, coming at Twitter.

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean coming at Twitter, coming at Terran about Quinn and

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_00]: coming at us.

[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Are they coming at me?

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah. Oh, Terran. Yes, they are like, we can't control

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_00]: none of this. You know what I'm saying?

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Hold on. Hold on.

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Can I guess is it because I'm broke when or anti-quant?

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm guessing it's anti.

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_00]: No, they think you.

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_00]: They think you are in love with Quinn.

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they think and they think that like the Quinn is like,

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_02]: they like Quinn is just playing to you and like that is annoying.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah. I know they're annoyed about that.

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Like that's all you realize.

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought I was giving good content.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_02]: The fact that you're doing deep dives like that's honestly

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_00]: your fault. So you're ruining everything.

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_02]: You're ruining the game.

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_02]: So I mean, look, I don't love the fact that people are like,

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_02]: oh, I just want to get a deep dive and like I'm going to, you know,

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_02]: whatever. Like I don't love that because it's like we want to do

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_02]: the deep dive so we can get more information about like the

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_02]: game and the way it's played, but like you're not going to get

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_02]: a deep dive and let you go far in the game.

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_02]: So maybe focus that your energy on like doing well in the

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_02]: game and getting yourself far enough to get a deep dive

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_02]: rather than talking about like, oh my deep dive, my deep dive.

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_02]: When it's literally like what? Like we free week two. I don't know.

[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, I don't know.

[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_00]: It's very much like the kids say like do it for the plot.

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Nowadays it's like, why are you like, why are you thinking of

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_00]: things that you're orchestrating in order to come on a podcast

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_00]: and talk about it's like, we appreciate the love.

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_00]: We appreciate the shout outs and all that stuff in the house.

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_00]: But it's like, we really just want to watch you play the game.

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think you talked about it really well on Sunday,

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Taryn, about like Quinn kind of coming off inauthentic and stuff

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_00]: like that. I think he can, but I still am enjoying what he's

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_00]: doing. And it's the same thing. Like him and Tucker, it's so funny

[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_00]: how they're like this, like two sides of the same coin

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_00]: because they are both just playing it up. You know,

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_00]: one just happens to be a super fan that's trying to like

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_00]: kind of play to the Twitter audience and Tucker.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_06]: More than super fans.

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly.

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And then Tucker is kind of like playing to like the casual

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_00]: audience. I feel like he, he makes, does all the voices.

[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_00]: He wants to be an actor.

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_00]: He wants to make every scene big and loud.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's just so funny because they're both the same,

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_00]: you know what I'm saying?

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And like it can be grating and annoying on both sides

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_00]: or both of them doing stuff, but it's just like,

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I think are we kind of nitpicking that we, the audience,

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_00]: nitpicking because I mean, so far let me knock on wood.

[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_00]: We're four weeks in and the drama is great without being

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_00]: problematic. We don't have any racist people so far from

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_00]: what we know.

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what Leo said, but like we don't,

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_00]: like the villains are villainy without being villainy

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_00]: villains. Like, I don't know. I love it.

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I like, like Melissa said, normally by this, this time I'm

[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_00]: like, oh, I have a full hate on for like somebody or something

[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_00]: like that. But honestly, I like this whole cast.

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I, you know, I still plan to take their, take their stops

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_00]: because the gameplay is not there, but I truly do like how

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_00]: they all mesh together.

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be so sad to see like a lot of these people

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_00]: go, but I do love also the spirit of sportsmanship

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_00]: within the house. Like, like I'm coming for you,

[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_00]: but also how are you doing mentally today?

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Like Quinn asking Tucker, like, I like that.

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Like it shows that you can play a, you can play a game.

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_00]: You can play a cutthroat game.

[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_00]: You can play like, you know, they are not playing as cutthroat

[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_00]: as they should, but you can do all of that.

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_00]: You can be entertaining and you can still be like good people.

[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I totally agree. I totally agree.

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And I agree with what you said about Quinn, like I am enjoying

[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_02]: what Quinn is doing.

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm enjoying watching him play.

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I really didn't want him to go this week.

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I love the idea of like a rivalry between him and Tucker.

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Like they're both very exciting characters.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I have fun watching both of them.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I really like watching Joseph too.

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like, I feel like there's something there.

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I just am excited to see what he's going to do.

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I really have been appreciating all the people so far.

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't like the hate that Quinn is getting.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I just feel like it's unwarranted.

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that like he's just trying to play up being a character.

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And I totally agree with what you said.

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I do think it seems very much like Tucker and him are very similar.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And yet Tucker is getting a bunch of love and Quinn is getting

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_02]: a bunch of hate.

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And I do not see why that is at all.

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I mean, for me personally,

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_02]: like I think they're both really fun and exciting to watch,

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_02]: but whatever.

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And yes, I agree that Tucker is for the casuals.

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's for everybody,

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_02]: but like my mom and dad were like watching and they were like,

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_02]: we love Tucker.

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_02]: He's so exciting.

[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_02]: We you never know what he's going to do.

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like very big brother, blah, blah, blah.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_02]: They were thinking he was like Dr. Will or whatever.

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_02]: They were really loving him.

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So he's certainly doing a great job for the casual audience.

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, I mean, like, and for everyone else as well,

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_02]: like it's fun to watch that sort of like whatever.

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I just want to play the game.

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Like everyone's playing too safe sort of stuff.

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's.

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's like great for like ratings in the stock watch,

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_02]: but who cares?

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It's fun to watch.

[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, I enjoy it.

[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I like I've said this before, but like it's it's fine

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_06]: to hate people in the house.

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Like, like that's listen, I get it.

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that's half the fun for most people is that you

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_06]: get to hate some people in the house.

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_06]: But like and I think that this is true for most people,

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_06]: but like this season you get to hate people for like little

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_06]: things.

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Like, man, this person annoys the crap out of me.

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_06]: This guy is so obnoxious.

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Like that's fun.

[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_06]: That's fun.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Hey, and like as long as you don't take it too far,

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_06]: like I feel like that's the perfectly warranted.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm not going to sit here and say you shouldn't hate

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_06]: when you shouldn't hate.

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_06]: You should hate whoever you want to hate.

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_06]: As long as it's in the context of like watching a

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_06]: character on a show, you're not going to like go out of

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_06]: your way to like make them feel bad about themselves

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_06]: after the fact or whatever.

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Like I think that's all part of the experience.

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think that and I think that like, you know,

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_06]: is it the best part of the experience for the players?

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_06]: No.

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_06]: And I do think that like you should always be careful

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_06]: about the way that you go about your hate.

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_06]: But but I do think that like having your favorites,

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_06]: having the people you root against when I say hate,

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_06]: I really feel like I'm saying root against.

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_06]: You know, that's part of the experience and everyone should

[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_06]: feel free to have that, especially when there's no like serious

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_06]: real world stuff happening to interfere with that balance.

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think that's, you know,

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_06]: I think a lot of people call it like old school.

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_06]: The reality is that old school was just ignoring

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_06]: the real life stuff and like having your cake

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_06]: and eating it too.

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Whereas this is more so genuinely just like,

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_06]: you don't even have to really ignore anything.

[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_06]: We're just kind of enjoying this experience.

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Quinn annoys the crowd.

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_06]: So does Tucker sometimes like honestly,

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_06]: a lot of these people annoy the crowd vote of me.

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm here primarily for gameplay and they're really,

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_06]: they're frustrating me.

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_06]: I can tell you that.

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_06]: So, so it's, you know,

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm enjoying watching Quinn's downfall and kind of,

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_06]: you know, like, you know,

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_06]: that's why I thought people were going to be like,

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, it's a lot of terror. Why are you hate Quinn so much?

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_06]: But, but, but I really think there's a lot of fun to be had

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_06]: here so far.

[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_06]: We've said that in the first half of seasons before,

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_06]: but, but I think that, I think that, you know,

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_06]: hopefully this, this, this air continues and we're

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_06]: able to continue to enjoy this in a good way in a,

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: in a way like normal saying way.

[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_06]: And we can work against each other too.

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_06]: Fandom Wars are fine. Just don't take any of it too serious.

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Listen, hate me because you don't like what I'm saying.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Root against me as a body. Like I'm fine with that too.

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Like it's all part of the game. We're all just having fun here.

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't see it. Everybody's like, Oh, yeah.

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I probably won't see it.

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, Oh, all of us are just sitting here like,

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay. I didn't know we were all,

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_00]: don't hate it. Don't hate on my,

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_06]: don't hate on the podcasters.

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Listen, I don't like what I'm saying. Don't,

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_06]: don't, don't transfer that to other people. They're,

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_06]: they're their own people. Leave them alone.

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Agreed.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_06]: But all right, we've got a survey.

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_06]: We can talk about a survey here.

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_06]: This is of course where I asked the audience to rate people,

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_06]: but also some other questions like who's your favorite?

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Speaking of, and maybe we can get a sense on where,

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_06]: where the audience stands on the, on the favor,

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_06]: who are they rooting for? Who are they rooting against?

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Ari, Melissa.

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like people are rooting for Tucker.

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. I think Tucker's number one.

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I have my finger on the pulse yet though.

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_00]: So like, I think we're going to be there.

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_00]: T-Core has been number one the last two weeks.

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So, but so I might, I might go with T-Core again,

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_00]: but it's like everything is so spread.

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm prepared for Taryn to tell us that these are the most

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_00]: spread out votes so far because I feel like everybody has done,

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_00]: like everybody's game is in such different places and everybody

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_00]: has so many different fans, like pockets of fans that it's,

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be like really like spread out like who's,

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_00]: who's the top?

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to just go with T-Core because I'm still rocking with T-Core.

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think T-Core probably has some die hard fans,

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_00]: even if she's like not doing much. So I'll go with T-Core.

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll do Tucker just because I think T-Core has not been doing

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_02]: like Mari said, doing all that much.

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think people might be kind of like getting a little frustrated

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_02]: with the fact that she's not.

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think people are pleased that Tucker is staying in the

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_02]: house, I think so.

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I think Tucker, but I don't know.

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. Well, I can tell you, Mari, you're correct on both.

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_06]: T-Core in the top spot, but this is definitely maybe perhaps

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_06]: the most spread out field I've seen.

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Yep.

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_06]: So T-Core does have a bit of a lead over the next batch,

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_06]: but there's quite a few in the next batch.

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_06]: So do you all, do you have a guess who's number two?

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll just go with Tucker.

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll just keep going with Tucker until eventually he shows up.

[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, honestly, because I don't think Quinn's up there.

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_00]: This is all this is really hard. I'm trying to remember last.

[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Is Kimo still up there?

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_00]: People still up there?

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Is Kimo still?

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Is T-Core and Kimo still riding out rave?

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll go with Kimo.

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. Well, last week, second place was Brooklyn.

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yes. Okay.

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I do this week.

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I know.

[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Cedric.

[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. So I did face Cedric.

[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, you did.

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_02]: But I did ask a few people like him.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I love Cedric.

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I get credit for that a little bit.

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Half point.

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_06]: He has risen from fifth place up to second.

[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I truly love Cedric.

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_00]: He just gives such like soft boy energy to me.

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_00]: But like in a good way. You know what I'm saying?

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Like he's just so, he's just so cute and so unassuming.

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_00]: It's so nice.

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like he handled himself really well during the like

[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Tucker confrontation.

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I think like that could have been a situation where especially

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_02]: because Tucker was like, the truth will prevail.

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And like you didn't say it like even if you did say it,

[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_02]: which you didn't.

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And then it's like, he didn't say it.

[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_02]: So like to be told that you didn't say it's like,

[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I get so frustrated when it's like, you never said that, you know,

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_02]: and it's like, no, I literally did like roll back the table.

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So I just feel like he handled that so well.

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Especially because like at the time I wasn't like watching

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_02]: the initial confrontation.

[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I wasn't sure if he, I believed Tucker cause I was like,

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_02]: he's so confident that he didn't say to use the veto.

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Like he's so confident.

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, oh, like Cedric's lying.

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_02]: He's saying he told him not to use it or to use it on

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_02]: himself or whatever.

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And he didn't.

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And then it turns out Cedric was the one telling the truth.

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And so I feel like he just handled that.

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_02]: So, I mean, I think he handled it well in the sense that he didn't

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_02]: get mad, but he also didn't handle it well in the sense that

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_02]: like he didn't convince anyone that he actually did tell him to

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_02]: use the veto on himself.

[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, not great in terms of argumentation,

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_02]: but great in terms of keeping it, keeping his cool.

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_06]: I'll give you number three.

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't think you're going to get it based on your previous gases.

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, last week, Chelsea was third place this week.

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Chelsea again is in third place.

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_00]: For Chelsea because it's, it's so weird.

[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I like, I see you like hate for her and I'm like, why?

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_00]: She hasn't done much, but just be very well positioned and

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_00]: maintained her position.

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Like we like I said, last time I was on here, she's been playing

[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_00]: a really good defense of a like a protected position.

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_00]: She hasn't done anything like offensively, like game wise or

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_00]: really like it's so it's weird.

[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I see so much like people not liking Chelsea other than I

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_00]: guess they use the outside stuff now that I think about it.

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I think they did.

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_00]: It is stuff.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_06]: It is very close.

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Cedric and Chelsea are like basically tied for second place.

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Cedric has a small, small edge over Chelsea.

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_00]: They said because she's been hating on Cam and Leah.

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm sorry.

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I hate on them too.

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So that's nothing to me.

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_06]: I do want, I want you to guess who is in last place.

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Kenny's gone.

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_00]: So, and we love Angela.

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_00]: We're not Facebook.

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, is it like, is it Quinn?

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Do people not like him?

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Would he, will he fall that far for our audience?

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Is it Cam or Leah?

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I think those three.

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't know.

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't really want to go.

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Cam, I'm just like, I don't want to lock in Melissa.

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Ah, okay.

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I think, I think people lately, I've been seeing people not liking

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Leah lately.

[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'll just say Leah, but I don't dislike Leah.

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'll just say Leah.

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Last week after Kenny, Cam was the lowest.

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_06]: This week, Leah beat him.

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Leah.

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_00]: It was close.

[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Leah.

[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Mostly followed by Cam.

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Like Leah, man.

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, again, I came out.

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, Oh man, maybe Leah's family was right.

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_00]: She is playing this, uh, this game really great.

[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_00]: And then like, just knows that man.

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Mm hmm.

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I know I had like really high hopes for her at first.

[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like watching every feed camera she was on.

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I was very excited about her.

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and then like, I just feel like she just kind of fell off.

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I, she's just not really playing that well and isn't.

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Really playing an interesting game.

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know.

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I just haven't been really enjoying her gameplay.

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's been a little disappointing because I really thought that like,

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_02]: she had it.

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so yeah, I think, I think she started to.

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Like lose it for me when she was just kind of like interested in the guys

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_02]: and was like doing that whole like, she's very.

[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It was like, it was very distracted and it wasn't.

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_02]: She wasn't.

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It just made it seem like her head wasn't in the game.

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And I was kind of like, Oh, okay.

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Like she actually doesn't really care about the game.

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and I just, it's not for me.

[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I don't love it.

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't hate her, but I just,

[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I wish she was more interested in playing the game.

[00:30:50] Hmm.

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Uh, well, it's a pretty distinct bottom three with MJ Cam and Leah.

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_06]: MJ with a bit of a lead over those two,

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_06]: but a big drop to get to those bottom three.

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Uh, this is the order.

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_06]: T core top spot followed by Cedric, then Chelsea number four is Tucker,

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_06]: uh, who has gone up from I think seventh place.

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Uh, then chemo who has fallen from fourth place down to fifth place.

[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Uh, then Brooklyn who has fallen from second place all the way down

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_06]: to sixth place, um, probably because of the moon stuff.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Uh, I don't know.

[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Also like Brooklyn is one that brought it up, but like at least four of them agreed.

[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know why Brooklyn.

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like a popular like conspiracy theories.

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And like the dumbest thing ever, but like it's very popular.

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_00]: At least it's got something else.

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_00]: So like, I don't know.

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I know, I know people who think that and it is very strange.

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, it's very strange to me. Um, but I feel like it's one of those

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_02]: things that's like popular to like, to say that you believe that or like,

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_02]: oh, I don't believe that we landed on the moon.

[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like the dumbest thing ever, but I've, I've heard that around.

[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And so I'm not surprised.

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but it's not the worst conspiracy theory to believe in.

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_00]: So like, uh, you like, I don't believe it,

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_00]: but I'm still cool with her.

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I do feel like it leads to weird direction.

[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Look at other pictures.

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_06]: If somebody tells me they don't believe in the moon landing,

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to be like, what else?

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_02]: The gateway conspiracy theory.

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like you start there and then you end up like 9-11 was an inside job

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_02]: or whatever.

[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Like Jack dual can't melt steel beams or whatever.

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I just feel like it's like, it's the gateway.

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the marijuana of a conspiracy theories.

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh.

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, don't love that, but whatever after Brooklyn.

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_06]: It's Angela.

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_06]: They're broke.

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_06]: They're they're they're in competition.

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_06]: They're right there.

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Mac and that one is in the lead right now.

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_06]: After Angela Joseph who's still hovering around the same spot as

[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_06]: last time after Joseph Quinn who has fallen from six previously

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_06]: down to nine, one, two, three, six, maybe 10.

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_06]: After Quinn, it's Rubina.

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know why Rubina is so honest.

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know why.

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's kind of and she was high up there, especially with

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Tucker so high.

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_06]: I figured Rubina would go up with him at the very least,

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_06]: but that's a little surprising.

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_00]: At this point, I think it's just everything so spread out.

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Just spread out.

[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe all the people are just picking Tucker.

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Right.

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm about to say.

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_00]: They don't have a core audience.

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_00]: They don't have like a core die hard fan base.

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Hmm.

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_06]: But then it's then it's the bottom three MJ cam and Leah.

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that Joseph, I think, I think he's going to end up

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_02]: being a good.

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how to like describe this, but I feel like

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Joseph has something and I feel like girls who to be like

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_02]: by the end of the season, like this guy, we thought he was

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_02]: a nobody.

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_02]: We thought he wasn't good, but he actually like he's got it.

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know if that's going to happen, but I just

[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_02]: feel it.

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but we'll see.

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_06]: No, I do.

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_06]: I do agree with you.

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_06]: I think he has potential.

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_06]: I think right now it's unrealized.

[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_06]: But but I think there's there.

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_06]: I think you're right.

[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_06]: There's something there that could activate later.

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Or he could just like it was it's like, what was it like Tina

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and big brother Canada or whatever.

[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_02]: We were like, she's got it.

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_02]: She's got it.

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And then she just left the house.

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe maybe like not the same, but maybe similar to like a

[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Mimi where it's like Mimi was in a really good position

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_06]: but never capitalized on it.

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Whereas I think Joseph is almost the opposite where like,

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_06]: I feel like he's capable of capitalizing on a good position,

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_06]: but he can't find himself in one.

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_06]: And so we could have ultimately like a similar result where

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_06]: like not that like Mimi's issue is that she never got

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_06]: active enough.

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think Joseph's issue might be that he just never gets

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_06]: socially good.

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_06]: We'll see though.

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_06]: I think there's a chance.

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_00]: But it's so funny because to me, he's so like his type of

[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_00]: charisma like connects to me as an audience member.

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Like just I thought I would not like him with his porn stash

[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_00]: and all of that, but he had me at running in his montage

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_00]: and then like trying to catch his breath.

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_00]: His breath like he has this class clown thing about him

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_00]: calling out Chen bot.

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_00]: His DRs are so funny that it reminds me very much of like

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Napoleon Dynamite.

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_00]: So like and then him thinking he's the star of the show

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_00]: like on the feeds and stuff like that.

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_00]: He's so he's so hilarious to me, but I think it's unintentionally

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_00]: like he's like unintentionally hilarious.

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_06]: I think he dulls the edge of his like occasional arrogance

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_06]: with like self deprecation, which helps him a lot.

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think that's probably where Quinn falters a bit.

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_06]: You could probably use a little bit more of that self

[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_06]: deprecation, but I feel like Quinn is like playing that up

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_02]: though. Like I don't feel like he actually like I think he's

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_02]: like trying to be like the Dr. Will type where it's like, oh,

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_02]: like everything I do is amazing and blah, blah, blah.

[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And like having this whole persona does that too.

[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, in particular, like I feel like it's he doesn't

[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_02]: actually I don't think he's actually super arrogant.

[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I think he's like I want to be the type of player that

[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_02]: like is arrogant and I'm a great player because people

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_02]: like to watch you like own your stuff or whatever.

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I like we watched Douglas on Big Brother Canada 12.

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think we all recognize that Anthony was a player who

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_06]: amplifies his natural personality to play this like very

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_06]: arrogant character on the show.

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that part of what I think people don't like about

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Quinn is that it feels like Quinn is almost inventing

[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_06]: that personality for himself because it's what he has seen

[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_06]: on the show before and wants to like replicate it if that

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_06]: makes sense.

[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_06]: That he doesn't either doesn't feel natural enough to him.

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think that again, like I think what people are

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_06]: looking for is authenticity and they want to see people

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_06]: like feel like like this is an extension of who you

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_06]: actually are.

[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that I think that you do feel like you're seeing

[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_06]: an extension of Joseph, but I think that for Quinn it

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_06]: sometimes goes beyond.

[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_06]: It crosses that line into inauthentic sometimes for

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_06]: people and I think that's that's that's part of the

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_06]: problem.

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think like I think like there's a difference

[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_02]: between like owning your moves in the DR and like being

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_02]: fake about it.

[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like I think you don't necessarily have to be

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_02]: like super arrogant in the DR in order to like own

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_02]: your moves.

[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I think there's a difference between being like,

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah, I did do that.

[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I did try and cause drama versus like I am the drama

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_02]: caused her.

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I just feel like it feels so fake.

[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So I would much prefer someone to just be like, yeah,

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_02]: like I did do this because I'm trying to play the game

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_02]: versus but I I'm sure like production also probably

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_02]: like want wants you to be more amplified.

[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_02]: So who knows?

[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm pretty sure it's not what we all expected from

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Quinn coming in like like.

[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's what that's what's going on because when

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I when I saw his cast pick, I was like, okay, soft nerd.

[00:39:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Gonna be like in the background.

[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I was thinking like Michael like Michael Brunner.

[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Like that's who that's what I was thinking Quinn was

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_00]: gonna give us like like quiet type copies like being

[00:39:20] [SPEAKER_00]: able to connect with people.

[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I thought that too.

[00:39:23] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's what we were initially getting week one,

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_00]: but all of a sudden like it like everything just

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_00]: start ramping up.

[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_06]: If I mean if I if I sit in my armchair psychologist chair

[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_06]: for a second and start wildly speculating.

[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that what we saw from Quinn in the first week

[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_06]: or so was more of the genuine Quinn.

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_06]: He I think he has like a quiet confidence to him.

[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_06]: He like rocks this like unique look and makes it work for him

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_06]: and he like like it's like he has that and I think

[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_06]: that's what drew a lot of people to want to work with him

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_06]: that he just he just had that kind of like effortlessly

[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_06]: cool feel to him.

[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that's like probably a huge part of who he is.

[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_06]: My guess would be that when things started to crumble

[00:40:16] [SPEAKER_06]: around he got into kind of a hyper defense mode.

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Like when he gets called out by Tucker and even previous

[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_06]: to that when he gets called out by Angela,

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Angela, he started to go into like being more of a character

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_06]: because it's hard to be attacked when you're being yourself.

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a lot easier.

[00:40:37] [SPEAKER_06]: That's why we often see like the the you know,

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_06]: I've got to be the bad guy or you know,

[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_06]: like people start to develop like larger than life personalities

[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_06]: in response to high stress because it helps them cope with it.

[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think that that's what's happening with Quinn.

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_06]: That would be my guess is that he's he's leaning more and more

[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_06]: heavily into this role in order to cope with like the

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_06]: position he has been put in or put himself into.

[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think that that's probably why that would be my guess

[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_06]: as to why we're kind of like seeing more of this side of him

[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_06]: as opposed to the early portion.

[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I completely agree with that.

[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think America choosing him to be on the block also,

[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_00]: like he is probably not dealing with that well on the inside,

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_00]: but you could tell beforehand he was trying to justify it all

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_00]: sorts of ways.

[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, he's right.

[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't like, I mean, I knew he was getting the votes for me.

[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_00]: It would make sense that he would get the votes because

[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_00]: people want the drama, not necessarily because they hate him.

[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_00]: But it's like a self fulfilling prophecy.

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Like you said, he's making this character so that it's easy to

[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_00]: be a villain and to protect himself.

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And then so you're getting a portion of the audience who is

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_00]: starting to, to not like him.

[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, it kind of sucks.

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, he's playing the hand that he dealt himself

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_00]: and the way that this cast is set up,

[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_00]: he should be able to maneuver out of it.

[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Not only that, not only how like lacks the cast is playing

[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_00]: and the current position that he's in,

[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_00]: but also we see, he still has,

[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_00]: he would have two chances to save himself with his AI twist.

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_00]: And unless, oh well, another twist is going to be announced

[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_00]: tomorrow.

[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_00]: So that works.

[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, but you know what I'm saying?

[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Like this, this season has been so enjoyable to watch because I

[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_00]: think there's just, it's just interesting to see how everybody

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_00]: is maneuvering things differently.

[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_00]: And the mechanics of the game has been pretty enjoyable.

[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Now the fact that we've had the same person win like three

[00:42:54] [SPEAKER_00]: comps in a row, now I'm trying to look at the comp side

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_00]: eye again.

[00:42:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, oh God, not this, but I like,

[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I still have confidence in him,

[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_00]: but I'm really loving everything we're seeing like villains,

[00:43:10] [SPEAKER_00]: pre-villains, no villains,

[00:43:13] [SPEAKER_00]: people who think they're good to guys that aren't good guys.

[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_00]: It's amazing with the star of the show, Joseph.

[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_00]: It's all been so fun to watch.

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Also like it feels like a lifetime ago,

[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_02]: but like at the start of the season when Quinn and Leo were

[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_02]: like hanging out and like really good friends and like kind

[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_02]: of like flirting a little bit, like that was so fun to watch.

[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I feel like that was so long ago.

[00:43:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't even imagine like that being a thing or happening.

[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I it's just so bizarre how like things can change like so

[00:43:43] [SPEAKER_02]: fast.

[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Very strange.

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, I asked the audience to rate the episodes this week.

[00:43:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Last week they were a 6.1.

[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_06]: This week a 6.0.

[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Roughly the same.

[00:44:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Which is I think disappointing because last week where we were

[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_06]: anticipating this veto episode was going to be massive.

[00:44:11] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think that ultimately like it just didn't quite,

[00:44:15] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it worked especially for people that didn't realize

[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_06]: how much more potential it had, but ultimately clearly

[00:44:20] [SPEAKER_06]: at least from our audience's perspective,

[00:44:22] [SPEAKER_06]: it just didn't quite land memorably enough to last

[00:44:27] [SPEAKER_06]: into the like what were the last two episodes we watched

[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_06]: thing.

[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_06]: And then last night's episode was maybe not the best,

[00:44:33] [SPEAKER_06]: but to be fair for comparison, last season week four

[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_06]: episodes were given a 6.2.

[00:44:40] [SPEAKER_06]: So it's fairly average at least in terms of recent two seasons.

[00:44:46] [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm not going to go and look at every single one.

[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_06]: It's done.

[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_06]: It takes me to all.

[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_06]: So I also asked the audience to rate the feeds this week.

[00:44:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Last week they were a 7.9.

[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_06]: This week.

[00:45:01] [SPEAKER_06]: 6.3.

[00:45:04] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not been great this week.

[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, not been that exciting or fun.

[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Not going on.

[00:45:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:45:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Because last week they knew Quinn was going to take over

[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_00]: this H O H.

[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_00]: So all the maneuvering kind of was done.

[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:45:18] [SPEAKER_00]: It just didn't matter too.

[00:45:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It was like, yeah, I don't know.

[00:45:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I just felt like it only mattered what Quinn was going

[00:45:23] [SPEAKER_02]: to do and it didn't really matter like.

[00:45:26] [SPEAKER_02]: To campaign today to H or anything.

[00:45:29] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm listen.

[00:45:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Love Tiko and Kimo as people.

[00:45:34] [SPEAKER_05]: But I'm going to play with their feet.

[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_06]: I think they are responsible because they are in the

[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_06]: position right now to be doing the things that should be

[00:45:41] [SPEAKER_06]: making the feeds exciting by talking to Quinn finally,

[00:45:45] [SPEAKER_06]: perhaps or orchestrating a vote flip against Cedric if

[00:45:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Rubina is up against him like stuff like that should be

[00:45:51] [SPEAKER_06]: what's making the feeds exciting right now.

[00:45:53] [SPEAKER_06]: And their hesitancy, I think has made things a little

[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_06]: boring sometimes frustrating.

[00:45:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Now they may come and save us in the fourth quarter,

[00:46:02] [SPEAKER_06]: but I think that that's definitely part of the issue.

[00:46:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Where does the hesitancy come from?

[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Is it from Kimo or is it from T-Core like,

[00:46:10] [SPEAKER_02]: or is it just the two of them like saying maybe we

[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_02]: should do this and then just not really doing it?

[00:46:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Or is it like one of them being like, let's not.

[00:46:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I don't know.

[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it's honestly both of them.

[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that they reinforce each other's hesitancy.

[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that T-Core is, she said it herself,

[00:46:27] [SPEAKER_06]: she's very non-confrontational.

[00:46:29] [SPEAKER_06]: She doesn't like confrontation and Kimo is like a very

[00:46:34] [SPEAKER_06]: kind of passive player naturally to begin with,

[00:46:36] [SPEAKER_06]: I think.

[00:46:37] [SPEAKER_06]: And so I think together they make themselves more

[00:46:41] [SPEAKER_06]: passive than they would be individually because they

[00:46:44] [SPEAKER_06]: get to talk to each other and vent all of their

[00:46:47] [SPEAKER_06]: strategic thoughts to each other.

[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_06]: And then it just disappears.

[00:46:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And then that's it.

[00:46:51] [SPEAKER_06]: They don't have to spend that energy anywhere else.

[00:46:55] [SPEAKER_06]: And so it's frustrating.

[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm hoping that it shifts because they, man,

[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_06]: do they tease it.

[00:47:02] [SPEAKER_06]: They talk about it a lot.

[00:47:05] [SPEAKER_06]: But we'll have to see if anything shakes them out of it.

[00:47:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:47:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And they both recognize the position that they're in

[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_00]: and being like in the middle.

[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think they want to really, excuse me.

[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they really want to like sacrifice that

[00:47:23] [SPEAKER_00]: positioning when they are not sure which side they want

[00:47:27] [SPEAKER_00]: to go to and not to mention that one side is obliterated

[00:47:31] [SPEAKER_00]: because Tucker, Tucker made such a big bold move

[00:47:35] [SPEAKER_00]: that solidified the other side.

[00:47:38] [SPEAKER_00]: It's just kind of like, can we really do this right now

[00:47:41] [SPEAKER_00]: when Tucker's over here doing all of this and

[00:47:44] [SPEAKER_00]: distracting and now we got to worry about him.

[00:47:47] [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, I don't like the hesitancy.

[00:47:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I agree.

[00:47:52] [SPEAKER_00]: But again, it's like everybody's playing defense this year.

[00:47:58] [SPEAKER_00]: And when you have such a set like boot list with what,

[00:48:01] [SPEAKER_00]: with that you have now with it being this early,

[00:48:04] [SPEAKER_00]: plus that additional AI arena is making people even more

[00:48:09] [SPEAKER_00]: hesitant for who they want to target and stuff like that.

[00:48:13] [SPEAKER_00]: It's yeah, the game, the gameplay is being stagnant right now.

[00:48:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see what they throw at them and if this new twist

[00:48:24] [SPEAKER_00]: will either shake things up, which production always

[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_00]: thinks it's going to do, or will it just, you know,

[00:48:30] [SPEAKER_00]: like condense everything back?

[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Like even more make people even more scared.

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see.

[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_06]: For reference last season.

[00:48:40] [SPEAKER_06]: The week for feeds were given an 8.4.

[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

[00:48:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Very good feeds.

[00:48:47] [SPEAKER_06]: That's even though the app was bad.

[00:48:50] [SPEAKER_00]: What was this?

[00:48:52] [SPEAKER_00]: The flip not the flip yet.

[00:48:53] [SPEAKER_06]: No, this was let's see.

[00:48:58] [SPEAKER_06]: This was Cameron's Hoh.

[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_05]: This is a new Hoh.

[00:49:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Is first where they evicted the evicted Jack.

[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Interesting.

[00:49:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, so I see audience to rate this season as a whole.

[00:49:23] [SPEAKER_06]: So far last week it was a 7.1 this week,

[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_06]: a 7.0 compared to last season's 8.0.

[00:49:30] [SPEAKER_06]: So a bit of a step down, but still I think pretty good.

[00:49:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Overall, or a season of Big Brother.

[00:49:37] [SPEAKER_06]: I also asked the audience to rate Quinn's Hoh train.

[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Cedric's Hoh train was given a 5.0.

[00:49:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Cam's Hoh train last season was given a 2.8.

[00:49:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, nobody went home.

[00:49:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Quinn's Hoh train.

[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_06]: What's the difference?

[00:49:57] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a 3.9.

[00:49:59] [SPEAKER_06]: 3.9.

[00:50:00] [SPEAKER_00]: That's a little high for me because both his targets are staying.

[00:50:05] [SPEAKER_00]: He can't get either of the two people that he's targeted out.

[00:50:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And the person that he might get out is like, meh.

[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Like a McKenzie is a meh.

[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Rubino might be, that's a meh too,

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_00]: but it might be better for him to get Rubino over McKenzie.

[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_00]: And then he doesn't even see that yet.

[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_00]: So 3.9 is very generous.

[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_06]: It was actually exactly halfway between Cam's and Cedric's.

[00:50:30] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm saying.

[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_06]: I also asked the audience to rate the AI arena twist last week.

[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_06]: It was a 6.0 this week down to a 5.8.

[00:50:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Audiences liking it slightly less than last week.

[00:50:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe because they've realized that it does kind of just grant invincibility to a player like Tucker,

[00:50:54] [SPEAKER_06]: at least in the short term.

[00:50:56] [SPEAKER_06]: The upgrade downgrade twist last week was a 4.9.

[00:51:00] [SPEAKER_06]: It was part of the cause of all the chaos this week down to a 4.2.

[00:51:04] [SPEAKER_06]: As we're now living in the results of the power.

[00:51:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's so sad because corny or not,

[00:51:14] [SPEAKER_00]: like how this deep fake HOH is supposed to work is kind of cool.

[00:51:19] [SPEAKER_00]: If it truly had stayed a surprise,

[00:51:22] [SPEAKER_00]: this could have been like really good TV.

[00:51:26] [SPEAKER_00]: It sucks.

[00:51:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Like they cannot get a like a surprise HOH or an invisible HOH to work like at all.

[00:51:34] [SPEAKER_06]: I do hear that and I do agree.

[00:51:37] [SPEAKER_06]: However, if I had to choose between what happened last week

[00:51:44] [SPEAKER_06]: and like a fun moment for television where they're surprised.

[00:51:49] [SPEAKER_06]: I think I would choose last week.

[00:51:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Granted, last week comes with the boring week of this week.

[00:51:57] [SPEAKER_06]: But I think I still would prefer like the attempted assassination of Quinn.

[00:52:04] [SPEAKER_06]: You know what I mean?

[00:52:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Like because of his power rather than like I do agree.

[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_06]: It would have made for a fun moment where they were like totally shocked.

[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_06]: But then very quickly they would have been like, oh, that wasn't really Angela.

[00:52:16] [SPEAKER_06]: We're dealing with this.

[00:52:18] [SPEAKER_06]: You know, yeah.

[00:52:19] [SPEAKER_00]: And then but also but last week isn't guaranteed.

[00:52:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Like the only reason why we got it last week is because.

[00:52:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Unstable person like Tucker.

[00:52:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I do agree.

[00:52:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[00:52:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Finally, who do you want to be evicted this week?

[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_06]: I did include Tucker because I made this survey prior to him using the veto

[00:52:45] [SPEAKER_06]: on himself.

[00:52:46] [SPEAKER_06]: I was very convinced that he would.

[00:52:49] [SPEAKER_06]: But but just in case I figured why not?

[00:52:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's see if people do want Tucker to leave at the top of this vote with a

[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_06]: plurality, 44 percent MJ is the preferred evictee then tied at 20 percent

[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Rubina and Cedric and then at 16 percent.

[00:53:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Which could be because he had already used the veto on himself and people were

[00:53:15] [SPEAKER_02]: like, well, he's not going to go home at that point.

[00:53:17] [SPEAKER_06]: They may not have voted Tucker.

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Right.

[00:53:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It's hard to tell.

[00:53:20] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah.

[00:53:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:53:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I guess I guess they would agree with that mainly because MJ is

[00:53:26] [SPEAKER_02]: like not really doing much.

[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I don't really want any of them to leave.

[00:53:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So right now.

[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_06]: I think my thing is it's again, it's one of those things.

[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_06]: It's big brother, you know, it gives and it takes.

[00:53:41] [SPEAKER_06]: And sometimes you have to choose which way you want to go.

[00:53:43] [SPEAKER_06]: And for me, the most exciting result of this week is if T.

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Corrin chemo leader rebellion against the collective and they take out

[00:53:50] [SPEAKER_06]: Cedric.

[00:53:52] [SPEAKER_06]: But what I have to pay for that is I have to lose Cedric.

[00:53:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And I do like that, which I wouldn't like, you know?

[00:53:57] [SPEAKER_06]: So it's like, listen, I'll take I guess I can't lose.

[00:54:02] [SPEAKER_06]: But I also can't really win.

[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm like, you know, like either way, I'll take what I get either way.

[00:54:08] [SPEAKER_06]: And I'll be happy with it.

[00:54:11] [SPEAKER_06]: But, you know, I feel like I kind of have to root for the

[00:54:14] [SPEAKER_06]: power ship because I feel like long term that's probably better.

[00:54:17] [SPEAKER_02]: But maybe it'd be interesting to have them like try and lead a

[00:54:21] [SPEAKER_02]: rebellion to get Cedric out and then they get outed and

[00:54:24] [SPEAKER_02]: it fails.

[00:54:25] [SPEAKER_02]: And then no, no.

[00:54:28] [SPEAKER_06]: I will say as much as I do like that.

[00:54:32] [SPEAKER_06]: As much as I do like Cedric, he did.

[00:54:37] [SPEAKER_06]: But he did.

[00:54:38] [SPEAKER_06]: So you know what?

[00:54:40] [SPEAKER_06]: He volunteered.

[00:54:41] [SPEAKER_06]: So it's like, you know what?

[00:54:42] [SPEAKER_02]: That's true.

[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:54:44] [SPEAKER_02]: If you volunteer.

[00:54:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:54:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:54:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't love it.

[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:54:49] [SPEAKER_00]: It's very it's it is very interesting.

[00:54:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I think this is that this is the situation where I was

[00:54:54] [SPEAKER_00]: like, I wish it was cam on the block instead of Cedric

[00:54:57] [SPEAKER_00]: because if it was cam on the block, I'd have been like flip,

[00:55:00] [SPEAKER_00]: flip, flip.

[00:55:03] [SPEAKER_00]: But Cedric, it just it doesn't like everybody's like, oh,

[00:55:07] [SPEAKER_00]: T-core T-core and keep on.

[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_00]: What do you why won't y'all take out Cedric?

[00:55:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I just T-core has such a close relationship with Cedric.

[00:55:14] [SPEAKER_00]: It to me, it doesn't doesn't make sense for her to take him

[00:55:16] [SPEAKER_00]: out out of out of I feel like out of the Chelsea cam Cedric

[00:55:21] [SPEAKER_00]: her for her she's closer to Cedric,

[00:55:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Chelsea and then cam.

[00:55:25] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:55:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So like it correct me if I'm wrong.

[00:55:30] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it would be even worse.

[00:55:33] [SPEAKER_00]: That's why that's why we just have to scratch it and it be at

[00:55:36] [SPEAKER_00]: MJ because right?

[00:55:37] [SPEAKER_06]: It's I think this is like in the yeah, certainly in the result

[00:55:40] [SPEAKER_06]: that that MJ wins the AI, I think is is primarily what I'm

[00:55:44] [SPEAKER_06]: talking about.

[00:55:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:55:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully if she doesn't then MJ goes and that's the easy

[00:55:50] [SPEAKER_06]: way.

[00:55:50] [SPEAKER_00]: It's that you do it's it's literally the equivalent of

[00:55:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Kenny going.

[00:55:57] [SPEAKER_00]: We're like just trying to get rid of all of the fodder

[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_00]: until it's like you are forced to come at each other.

[00:56:05] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[00:56:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, are we ready then to rate the players?

[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[00:56:12] [SPEAKER_06]: OK, let's do it.

[00:56:13] [SPEAKER_06]: This is of course the portion of the podcast where we rate

[00:56:16] [SPEAKER_06]: the players.

[00:56:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Is this the one or is this the one?

[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.

[00:56:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Is this one?

[00:56:20] [SPEAKER_06]: We rate the players based on how well we think they

[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_06]: are doing in the game.

[00:56:25] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know why it looks weird to me right now,

[00:56:27] [SPEAKER_06]: but it's probably fun.

[00:56:31] [SPEAKER_06]: So from one to ten, one being the worst either just straight

[00:56:35] [SPEAKER_06]: up no chance to win or maybe they've just done something

[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_06]: really bad.

[00:56:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Ten being their basically dangies here and they're doing

[00:56:43] [SPEAKER_06]: really well.

[00:56:44] [SPEAKER_06]: But listen, there's any criteria you want to use.

[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_06]: I like to go like long term positioning short term

[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_06]: safety.

[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_06]: How did they play this week?

[00:56:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Stuff like that.

[00:56:53] [SPEAKER_06]: But ultimately you get to do what you want to do.

[00:56:57] [SPEAKER_06]: So let me see if I know that doesn't really do much.

[00:57:01] [SPEAKER_06]: So listen, I had an idea.

[00:57:03] [SPEAKER_06]: I had an idea this week.

[00:57:04] [SPEAKER_06]: I thought, you know, we got it.

[00:57:07] [SPEAKER_06]: We got a little bit of a back and forth last week.

[00:57:09] [SPEAKER_06]: I thought it was kind of fun.

[00:57:10] [SPEAKER_06]: And I remembered, you know, somewhere along the line,

[00:57:12] [SPEAKER_06]: we just started taking turns talking about a player.

[00:57:15] [SPEAKER_06]: I thought it might be a little more fun.

[00:57:16] [SPEAKER_06]: What if we just opened up discussion?

[00:57:17] [SPEAKER_06]: You know, survivor jury, new era jury questions.

[00:57:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:57:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Where let's just let's just have a discussion.

[00:57:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe an even maybe even argue about a player.

[00:57:30] [SPEAKER_06]: And then we'll just give our numbers at the end.

[00:57:33] [SPEAKER_06]: All together.

[00:57:35] [SPEAKER_06]: And then that might be a little more fun.

[00:57:37] [SPEAKER_06]: I like it.

[00:57:39] [SPEAKER_06]: So with that in mind, let's open up the discussion on

[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Angela who is safe this week.

[00:57:47] [SPEAKER_06]: And yeah, look who's targeting Angela anytime.

[00:57:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Probably a lot of people, but I say this week.

[00:57:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_02]: She get HOH next week.

[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Like is she not eligible for HOH?

[00:58:00] [SPEAKER_02]: That is so dumb.

[00:58:01] [SPEAKER_00]: It's messed up, but it's so funny because yes,

[00:58:07] [SPEAKER_00]: people might be targeting Angela,

[00:58:09] [SPEAKER_00]: but the most hilarious thing is that the person,

[00:58:12] [SPEAKER_00]: the number one person targeting Angela is the most likely to

[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_00]: go out this week, which is MJ.

[00:58:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So Angela has absolutely no power.

[00:58:20] [SPEAKER_00]: She can't play next week, but I don't even know if she knows it,

[00:58:25] [SPEAKER_00]: but her biggest direct threat is like 75% going out the door

[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_00]: depending on on the AI arena.

[00:58:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Like that is her power.

[00:58:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Like everybody that Angela wants God goes.

[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_02]: No, but I feel like she has,

[00:58:45] [SPEAKER_02]: she's an easy person to just put up on the block.

[00:58:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I think that and the,

[00:58:51] [SPEAKER_02]: and an easy person to be like, well, you know,

[00:58:53] [SPEAKER_02]: let's just get her out because whatever.

[00:58:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Like we don't want to get out these other people or whatever.

[00:58:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And so I could see a situation where like she's just a constant

[00:59:01] [SPEAKER_02]: pawn and then eventually that's going to come back to bite her.

[00:59:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It could be this week or whatever.

[00:59:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And she could go out just because it's like,

[00:59:08] [SPEAKER_02]: well, she not really involved in anything.

[00:59:10] [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't really like hurt anyone for her to go.

[00:59:13] [SPEAKER_02]: So that makes me nervous for her and the fact that she,

[00:59:16] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, I mean, I think,

[00:59:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that if her and Tucker and like a few of the other people

[00:59:23] [SPEAKER_02]: who are kind of don't really have anyone can like join up.

[00:59:26] [SPEAKER_02]: And you know, I mean, her and Tucker are like the copies

[00:59:29] [SPEAKER_02]: to this season so far.

[00:59:30] [SPEAKER_02]: So if they could just join up, like, you know,

[00:59:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I really do think it could go well for them.

[00:59:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And I know that they're kind of like,

[00:59:37] [SPEAKER_02]: they're having discussions together,

[00:59:38] [SPEAKER_02]: but I don't know if it's like legit,

[00:59:39] [SPEAKER_02]: like they actually are going to work together.

[00:59:42] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I think,

[00:59:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I think there's a chance for her to do well

[00:59:46] [SPEAKER_02]: and to actually move forward.

[00:59:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But I don't, it's so iffy.

[00:59:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:59:52] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I love that she won a comp here.

[00:59:54] [SPEAKER_06]: I think winning a second competition is great for her long term.

[00:59:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Short term, I'm just, it's such a dangerous spot to be.

[01:00:03] [SPEAKER_06]: She's such an easy target for basically the entire house

[01:00:07] [SPEAKER_06]: because taking out Angela is a perfect way

[01:00:11] [SPEAKER_06]: for everybody in the house to use their HOH to do something

[01:00:16] [SPEAKER_06]: without pissing off half the house

[01:00:18] [SPEAKER_06]: because nobody's looking out for Angela.

[01:00:21] [SPEAKER_06]: In addition to that,

[01:00:22] [SPEAKER_06]: she's also a really good backup target to Tucker.

[01:00:27] [SPEAKER_06]: If somebody tries to target Tucker and he wins a veto

[01:00:29] [SPEAKER_06]: or an AI arena competition.

[01:00:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh well, Angela is the backup.

[01:00:34] [SPEAKER_06]: That's what would have happened this week

[01:00:35] [SPEAKER_06]: if she hadn't won that HOH competition.

[01:00:38] [SPEAKER_06]: And so I think she needs the game to break open.

[01:00:40] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it's starting to get there.

[01:00:43] [SPEAKER_06]: I think we're approaching a game breaking open moment,

[01:00:46] [SPEAKER_06]: but it might not be for a week or two

[01:00:48] [SPEAKER_06]: and that's not time that she's going to feel very comfortable.

[01:00:52] [SPEAKER_06]: So I'm definitely, I think short term it's not looking great

[01:00:56] [SPEAKER_06]: and long term it's never looked super great,

[01:00:58] [SPEAKER_06]: but there is some hope, I think.

[01:01:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:01:00] [SPEAKER_00]: And correct me if I'm wrong.

[01:01:02] [SPEAKER_00]: The last time when they did a boot competition

[01:01:04] [SPEAKER_00]: like Chelsea's Booth competition,

[01:01:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Angela, yeah, she was the outgoing HOH.

[01:01:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Wait, so she didn't get to participate.

[01:01:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Angela was really good at the last HOH.

[01:01:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Spotting the differences.

[01:01:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Eagles and they were bugles.

[01:01:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Bugles, yeah.

[01:01:24] [SPEAKER_00]: It looks like she might be really good at booth comps.

[01:01:28] [SPEAKER_00]: She might be like Boe Jain.

[01:01:30] [SPEAKER_00]: She might get some of these Boe Jain HOH wins

[01:01:34] [SPEAKER_00]: if she can stay in long enough.

[01:01:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Call her Angela Jain.

[01:01:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Angela Jain.

[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_00]: It's so funny her position is so precarious,

[01:01:44] [SPEAKER_00]: but also I can definitely see her being dragged to the end

[01:01:49] [SPEAKER_00]: and be an easy goat position if she just gets past.

[01:01:53] [SPEAKER_00]: If she just gets past a certain spot,

[01:01:56] [SPEAKER_00]: she might be prime candidate to be dragged

[01:02:00] [SPEAKER_00]: in a nobody vote for her

[01:02:03] [SPEAKER_00]: because she's still run people the wrong way.

[01:02:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know. Very interesting.

[01:02:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Very entertaining position too.

[01:02:10] [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, I like Angela.

[01:02:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a fan of Angela.

[01:02:14] [SPEAKER_06]: All right. Well, listen, I gave her another three.

[01:02:18] [SPEAKER_06]: I feel like she went up in some ways down in other ways

[01:02:21] [SPEAKER_06]: and back at a three for me.

[01:02:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. Yeah.

[01:02:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I would agree with the three honestly because I think

[01:02:26] [SPEAKER_02]: that like it really could go either way.

[01:02:28] [SPEAKER_02]: The fact that she can't win HOH next week is not good.

[01:02:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I mean, if she had the opportunity,

[01:02:33] [SPEAKER_02]: she didn't even get out someone that I mean,

[01:02:36] [SPEAKER_02]: potentially MJ is going to go out.

[01:02:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And so like that would be good for her,

[01:02:39] [SPEAKER_02]: but like she wasn't able to do her own HOH this week.

[01:02:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And instead it just was like immunity a little bit,

[01:02:46] [SPEAKER_02]: but now it's also a punishment because now she can't be HOH

[01:02:49] [SPEAKER_02]: next week.

[01:02:50] [SPEAKER_02]: So I feel like that's not great for her.

[01:02:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think it's like she's in a tricky spot,

[01:02:56] [SPEAKER_02]: but I do think that like with Tucker kind of

[01:02:59] [SPEAKER_02]: seemingly coming to a realization that people are kind of

[01:03:02] [SPEAKER_02]: against him and that he is kind of on his own or that

[01:03:06] [SPEAKER_02]: there was a possibility that he could have gone last week.

[01:03:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Had he not won the AI competition?

[01:03:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I do think that like, he might be more willing to actually

[01:03:14] [SPEAKER_02]: work with her and maybe something could form

[01:03:17] [SPEAKER_02]: and like Terrence said, the game might break open.

[01:03:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, but I'm,

[01:03:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to give her too high of a rating,

[01:03:23] [SPEAKER_02]: but I do think like a three is probably where she is right

[01:03:26] [SPEAKER_02]: now, but it could change.

[01:03:27] [SPEAKER_06]: I think she might be the most likely person to leave next

[01:03:30] [SPEAKER_06]: week.

[01:03:31] [SPEAKER_06]: I think like her and maybe Quinn are like the top,

[01:03:35] [SPEAKER_06]: top targets, top potential targets right now.

[01:03:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:03:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[01:03:41] [SPEAKER_00]: But also I do,

[01:03:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I do like that she saved herself this week.

[01:03:49] [SPEAKER_00]: She has a chance to squeak by with Tucker being such

[01:03:54] [SPEAKER_00]: that big a target if,

[01:03:56] [SPEAKER_00]: if, you know, if he doesn't win every comp, it's him.

[01:04:01] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[01:04:02] [SPEAKER_06]: I think AI arena is huge.

[01:04:04] [SPEAKER_06]: If AI arena goes away, her chances of staying go way up.

[01:04:08] [SPEAKER_06]: If AI arena sticks around, I think she's in way more

[01:04:11] [SPEAKER_06]: danger.

[01:04:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Gotcha.

[01:04:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:04:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I, there's something else I wanted to say about her,

[01:04:17] [SPEAKER_00]: about her reign, but I like, oh yeah, because okay,

[01:04:21] [SPEAKER_00]: say MJ doesn't go home and Rubina goes home.

[01:04:23] [SPEAKER_00]: That's also a good person going home for her because she's,

[01:04:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Rubina's kind of been like her person.

[01:04:28] [SPEAKER_00]: She's been like doing sneak.

[01:04:30] [SPEAKER_00]: This is on ever since Lisa left like and,

[01:04:34] [SPEAKER_00]: and if Rubina is gone, Tucker pulls in closer to her

[01:04:38] [SPEAKER_00]: and to Angela.

[01:04:39] [SPEAKER_00]: So honestly this is not,

[01:04:42] [SPEAKER_00]: this is a win-win situation for,

[01:04:44] [SPEAKER_00]: for Angela either MJ or Rubina going is actually very win-win

[01:04:49] [SPEAKER_00]: for her.

[01:04:50] [SPEAKER_00]: And again, she didn't have to do anything.

[01:04:52] [SPEAKER_00]: It's almost like a typical HOA train where her top,

[01:04:56] [SPEAKER_00]: her top target or the top person that her biggest threat

[01:04:59] [SPEAKER_00]: goes home and she can't,

[01:05:01] [SPEAKER_00]: she can't play next week.

[01:05:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Like it's the same, it's the same positioning.

[01:05:05] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to give her a four.

[01:05:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I will, I'm going to give her a four because I,

[01:05:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that did,

[01:05:11] [SPEAKER_00]: and she started to be included in stuff now.

[01:05:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Like she,

[01:05:14] [SPEAKER_00]: she almost cried because they would start pranking her.

[01:05:16] [SPEAKER_00]: She was like, oh my God, they're noticing me now.

[01:05:19] [SPEAKER_00]: So like I, I don't know.

[01:05:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I think she's calling in there if she can like turns out,

[01:05:25] [SPEAKER_00]: she just needs like one or two more weeks and then she might be

[01:05:28] [SPEAKER_00]: able to like really get in there.

[01:05:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And that would be,

[01:05:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I just like that she's pissing off everybody off Facebook.

[01:05:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.

[01:05:35] [SPEAKER_00]: It's so good.

[01:05:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:05:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, the audience agrees with you, Marie.

[01:05:40] [SPEAKER_06]: They also gave Angela a four.

[01:05:42] [SPEAKER_06]: So she is going to sneak up to a four there in the ratings.

[01:05:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Military crew.

[01:05:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Look at Marie.

[01:05:48] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[01:05:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's then talk about Brooklyn because last week Brooklyn and

[01:05:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Chelsea were the two highest rated players.

[01:05:56] [SPEAKER_06]: I'll say straight up,

[01:05:58] [SPEAKER_06]: I pretty much feel the same way this week.

[01:06:01] [SPEAKER_06]: I still feel like they're two of the best position players.

[01:06:04] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know that they've fully managed to capitalize on their

[01:06:07] [SPEAKER_06]: position yet.

[01:06:08] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that this is like a 10 year more,

[01:06:10] [SPEAKER_06]: a slightly more tenuous position than it was last week.

[01:06:13] [SPEAKER_06]: They're not in quite as strong a lead as they were before.

[01:06:16] [SPEAKER_06]: But I do still really like where Brooklyn is,

[01:06:19] [SPEAKER_06]: especially Brooklyn actually for me this week because she is in

[01:06:24] [SPEAKER_06]: this five points group.

[01:06:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Tucker had some doubts,

[01:06:27] [SPEAKER_06]: but she very much has the support of chemo T for Andrew.

[01:06:31] [SPEAKER_06]: You know,

[01:06:31] [SPEAKER_06]: all sticking up for her all making sure that Tucker doesn't

[01:06:34] [SPEAKER_06]: go off the deep end on Brooklyn like he did on Quinn,

[01:06:39] [SPEAKER_06]: which they shouldn't be because they all know except for

[01:06:42] [SPEAKER_06]: being a she's in the Pentagon.

[01:06:46] [SPEAKER_06]: But but I get there reluctance because Tucker really,

[01:06:49] [SPEAKER_06]: he just goes off.

[01:06:50] [SPEAKER_06]: But but like her connection there is very good.

[01:06:54] [SPEAKER_06]: And she still should we found out that she has the Quinn

[01:06:58] [SPEAKER_06]: loyalty, the loyalty of his ranger at the top of his final

[01:07:01] [SPEAKER_06]: dues.

[01:07:02] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know how valuable that is given Quinn's station

[01:07:06] [SPEAKER_06]: in the game right now,

[01:07:07] [SPEAKER_06]: but he is still very well connected and that's a very good

[01:07:10] [SPEAKER_06]: thing.

[01:07:10] [SPEAKER_06]: And he could start spilling tons of information,

[01:07:12] [SPEAKER_06]: especially if he's on the block and the fact that he values

[01:07:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Brooklyn means that she might stay clear of that.

[01:07:18] [SPEAKER_06]: So definitely still really like where we're Brooklyn's at.

[01:07:21] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.

[01:07:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[01:07:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I do too.

[01:07:24] [SPEAKER_00]: But the way that she confronts Angela just for getting

[01:07:28] [SPEAKER_00]: picked twice on that game really made me stop and think

[01:07:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I wonder how she's going to be in adversity because

[01:07:35] [SPEAKER_00]: she's been in such a really good position from the

[01:07:38] [SPEAKER_00]: start.

[01:07:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I really wonder what would happen like once if I'm trying to

[01:07:43] [SPEAKER_00]: it's kind of hard.

[01:07:45] [SPEAKER_00]: She does.

[01:07:45] [SPEAKER_00]: There's nobody on the board that looks like they would

[01:07:47] [SPEAKER_00]: honestly come after her, but well,

[01:07:48] [SPEAKER_00]: they like, oh yeah.

[01:07:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I forgot about Angela that quickly.

[01:07:53] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, like, like if if her back's her back is on

[01:07:57] [SPEAKER_00]: a rope,

[01:07:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm really interested to see how she reacts because even

[01:08:00] [SPEAKER_00]: with Kenny last week,

[01:08:01] [SPEAKER_00]: she got a little confrontational with Kenny

[01:08:03] [SPEAKER_00]: last week, which I love.

[01:08:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I loved every bit of it.

[01:08:06] [SPEAKER_06]: And I thought she handled it well.

[01:08:07] [SPEAKER_06]: But yeah.

[01:08:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I'm really starting to think like it, you know,

[01:08:12] [SPEAKER_00]: she got up, she keeps getting upset when like just Kenny

[01:08:16] [SPEAKER_00]: mentioning that she might be at the top of a girls alliance.

[01:08:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Angela picking her twice.

[01:08:21] [SPEAKER_00]: What happens when somebody like really comes for her?

[01:08:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Like how is she going to react?

[01:08:25] [SPEAKER_00]: So that's my only thing that I'm wondering,

[01:08:28] [SPEAKER_00]: but that's for future Brooklyn to worry about right now.

[01:08:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Brooklyn is in a prime position and, you know,

[01:08:36] [SPEAKER_00]: the main person coming after her can't win HOH next week.

[01:08:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Right as Melissa was about to talk.

[01:08:44] [SPEAKER_06]: I was about to talk.

[01:08:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Basically, well, I was going to say that like I agree with

[01:08:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Mari on that and I also think like another future Brooklyn

[01:08:51] [SPEAKER_02]: problem is that because she's in with so many groups

[01:08:55] [SPEAKER_02]: and because she's being included in so many alliances,

[01:08:57] [SPEAKER_02]: like if the game does like break open,

[01:08:59] [SPEAKER_02]: like we were saying it might like she's going to have

[01:09:01] [SPEAKER_02]: to either like pick a side or like sneakily not pick

[01:09:05] [SPEAKER_02]: a side and that might be very tricky for her.

[01:09:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know how that's going to play out,

[01:09:09] [SPEAKER_02]: especially if it's like, oh, I've got to like vote someone out.

[01:09:12] [SPEAKER_02]: That's like supposedly like in my alliance and it.

[01:09:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so.

[01:09:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I mean, I think that I agree,

[01:09:20] [SPEAKER_06]: but I think that like the strength of the position is

[01:09:23] [SPEAKER_06]: that if the game does break open,

[01:09:25] [SPEAKER_06]: she can just pick the winning side.

[01:09:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Now the problem there is does she have the positioning

[01:09:32] [SPEAKER_06]: on either side to still be to still have like a throw

[01:09:36] [SPEAKER_06]: end game plan.

[01:09:37] [SPEAKER_06]: I think she has a much better one on the collective pentagon

[01:09:40] [SPEAKER_06]: side than she does on the five point side.

[01:09:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Five point side is also not quite as solid in general

[01:09:47] [SPEAKER_06]: and not as likely to start running away with it.

[01:09:51] [SPEAKER_06]: And she does still have some some legs there too.

[01:09:53] [SPEAKER_06]: So I do agree though, I do wonder and that's been all.

[01:09:59] [SPEAKER_06]: That's always been the thing for me about Brooklyn.

[01:10:00] [SPEAKER_06]: It's like, is she more than just good positioning?

[01:10:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Does she have like the ability to actually lock in an end game

[01:10:09] [SPEAKER_06]: and handle confrontation if she is confronted?

[01:10:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Like I think that those are questions that are still unanswered.

[01:10:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I think like I think at this point,

[01:10:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I think I would still keep her at a seven.

[01:10:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I think like we have all these concerns for the future,

[01:10:27] [SPEAKER_02]: but I feel like to be like, well, these concerns could be

[01:10:31] [SPEAKER_02]: problematic.

[01:10:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to like rate her lower.

[01:10:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Like just we don't we haven't seen these yet really.

[01:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And so I feel like it could play out like next week could be a

[01:10:39] [SPEAKER_02]: totally different rating.

[01:10:40] [SPEAKER_02]: But at this point, yeah, I would keep her at a seven just

[01:10:42] [SPEAKER_02]: because I do think she's in one of the best positions in the

[01:10:45] [SPEAKER_02]: house.

[01:10:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And at this point that's really all we can go off of because

[01:10:48] [SPEAKER_02]: she hasn't really been confronted and like a bad in a bad

[01:10:51] [SPEAKER_02]: situation.

[01:10:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Like we haven't had to see her do the strategy.

[01:10:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And so all this, all we have to go off of is the fact that

[01:10:57] [SPEAKER_02]: she's in a good spot.

[01:10:59] Yeah.

[01:11:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I agree.

[01:11:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I would love to take her, but it just doesn't make sense.

[01:11:04] [SPEAKER_00]: She's doing great seven.

[01:11:06] [SPEAKER_06]: The audience agrees.

[01:11:08] [SPEAKER_06]: I agree.

[01:11:08] [SPEAKER_06]: It's going to be straight sevens again.

[01:11:10] [SPEAKER_06]: I'll say this though.

[01:11:10] [SPEAKER_06]: I do think this could be the last Brooklyn seven for me.

[01:11:14] [SPEAKER_06]: I feel like I really want to see some locking in.

[01:11:17] [SPEAKER_06]: I think the gap between her and the rest of the house is

[01:11:21] [SPEAKER_06]: closing.

[01:11:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Like if, again, I watched a lot of Olympics and I watched the

[01:11:25] [SPEAKER_06]: running.

[01:11:25] [SPEAKER_06]: It's like she's her and Chelsea have been in the lead, but

[01:11:28] [SPEAKER_06]: like those that pack behind them is closing in right now.

[01:11:31] [SPEAKER_06]: That's how I feel.

[01:11:33] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[01:11:34] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's talk about Cam.

[01:11:36] [SPEAKER_06]: How do we feel about Cam?

[01:11:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Is he there?

[01:11:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Like what is he doing?

[01:11:43] [SPEAKER_00]: How does he spend his day?

[01:11:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Because when I watch the feeds, I don't watch it for

[01:11:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Cam.

[01:11:48] [SPEAKER_00]: And when he's, when he's on those feeds with Leo,

[01:11:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I definitely don't watch those feeds.

[01:11:54] [SPEAKER_00]: So I, I truly don't know what he's doing other than just

[01:11:57] [SPEAKER_00]: like kind of growing down with Tucker.

[01:11:58] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's so funny that he still has this core

[01:12:02] [SPEAKER_00]: positioning with like CCC, like that positioning when he

[01:12:06] [SPEAKER_00]: barely even hangs out with them or talk to them, you

[01:12:08] [SPEAKER_00]: know what I'm saying?

[01:12:09] [SPEAKER_00]: It's so funny.

[01:12:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And then in the episode, you tip, you tip off Tucker,

[01:12:14] [SPEAKER_00]: like, oh, you know, you probably need to get off the

[01:12:17] [SPEAKER_00]: block.

[01:12:18] [SPEAKER_00]: But then in the same breath in the HOH, you pick him,

[01:12:22] [SPEAKER_00]: you know, for him to go up like, Cam, what are you doing?

[01:12:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Huh?

[01:12:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Are you playing the game or is it summer camp for you?

[01:12:31] [SPEAKER_06]: I feel like he wasted a bunch of social capital that he

[01:12:34] [SPEAKER_06]: didn't even have to spend trying to stay good with

[01:12:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Tucker after the blow-up last week so that he could

[01:12:40] [SPEAKER_06]: maintain this like both sides position and then

[01:12:42] [SPEAKER_06]: immediately blew all of it by failing to act

[01:12:44] [SPEAKER_06]: correctly.

[01:12:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Like happy for Tucker.

[01:12:47] [SPEAKER_06]: And so now he's just like chilling in this space where

[01:12:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Tucker doesn't, I mean granted, I think Tucker does want

[01:12:54] [SPEAKER_06]: to work with Cam if Cam would get anything at this

[01:12:57] [SPEAKER_06]: point.

[01:12:58] [SPEAKER_06]: But Cam is unable to pretend enough for Tucker to

[01:13:02] [SPEAKER_06]: believe him.

[01:13:03] [SPEAKER_06]: And at the same time, he has basically no position

[01:13:06] [SPEAKER_06]: to defend him and collective.

[01:13:09] [SPEAKER_06]: He's just kind of being dragged along.

[01:13:10] [SPEAKER_06]: And at some point, I think once Tucker leaves, Cam starts

[01:13:14] [SPEAKER_06]: to get into some danger.

[01:13:15] [SPEAKER_06]: But but obviously until Tucker leaves, I think he's

[01:13:17] [SPEAKER_06]: kind of good.

[01:13:18] [SPEAKER_06]: I think he's kind of fine.

[01:13:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Not a lot of people looking at Cam.

[01:13:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Like Tucker wants to go after Quinn and Cedric and

[01:13:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Cam actually actually right now he wants to go after

[01:13:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Quinn, Leah and Cam.

[01:13:29] [SPEAKER_06]: So maybe he's not quite as good.

[01:13:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm always hoping that Cam is the one that gets

[01:13:34] [SPEAKER_00]: snatched.

[01:13:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Like people are trying to take a shot at Cedric,

[01:13:37] [SPEAKER_00]: but Cam is the one that that ended with the bullet.

[01:13:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Like that's, that's the only thing I'm hoping for, for

[01:13:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Cam.

[01:13:43] [SPEAKER_00]: He's a shield for Cedric and Chelsea and the rest of

[01:13:47] [SPEAKER_00]: the Pentagon or from each other.

[01:13:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Like that's all I really want from him.

[01:13:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Drag him along till he takes the bullet and then he

[01:13:55] [SPEAKER_00]: can go because he gives me nothing.

[01:13:57] [SPEAKER_00]: It's not even a go girl give me nothing.

[01:13:59] [SPEAKER_00]: It's literally just a nothing, nothing.

[01:14:02] [SPEAKER_00]: And I, I, he seems like a very nice guy, but I

[01:14:07] [SPEAKER_00]: cannot, I cannot take him and Leah on the feet

[01:14:11] [SPEAKER_00]: together.

[01:14:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I cannot do it.

[01:14:15] [SPEAKER_00]: It is the most annoying thing to me.

[01:14:18] [SPEAKER_00]: They argue about the same things over and over again and

[01:14:22] [SPEAKER_00]: such a circular pattern that I'm like, how are you all

[01:14:25] [SPEAKER_00]: doing this?

[01:14:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh right.

[01:14:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Y'all don't have anything else to do with that.

[01:14:28] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like, I could, I could not do it.

[01:14:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I could not do it.

[01:14:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't, Cam does nothing for me.

[01:14:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to give them a two.

[01:14:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, wait, hold up.

[01:14:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[01:14:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Wait, his positioning.

[01:14:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[01:14:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Let me try and be objective.

[01:14:39] [SPEAKER_00]: His positioning is still good.

[01:14:46] [SPEAKER_00]: You should just do it.

[01:14:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll give him a three.

[01:14:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll give him a three.

[01:14:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll be nice.

[01:14:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll give him a three.

[01:14:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:14:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I have trouble with Cam just cause like I really don't

[01:14:55] [SPEAKER_02]: know anything about him.

[01:14:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I've watched feeds and I like haven't

[01:14:59] [SPEAKER_02]: watched anything with him on it or like the only

[01:15:02] [SPEAKER_02]: thing, the only time he's like on the feeds,

[01:15:04] [SPEAKER_02]: he's like not saying anything and just like sitting in

[01:15:06] [SPEAKER_02]: that room and just watching like a confrontation or

[01:15:09] [SPEAKER_02]: watching other people talk, but I never really hear

[01:15:11] [SPEAKER_02]: like anything from him.

[01:15:13] [SPEAKER_02]: So I really don't know like what the deal is there.

[01:15:18] [SPEAKER_02]: It's hard for me to rate him.

[01:15:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I guess I think I would give him like probably a four

[01:15:25] [SPEAKER_02]: just because right now he's okay,

[01:15:27] [SPEAKER_02]: but I don't know what it's going to be next week.

[01:15:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I do think that he kind of soured things with Tucker.

[01:15:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's not great for him if Tucker wins,

[01:15:36] [SPEAKER_02]: but you know, he is in a decent spot positioning wise.

[01:15:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I just don't know if he can do anything with it.

[01:15:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it's a four for now, but that could go down.

[01:15:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:15:46] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I feel fairly similarly about him this week

[01:15:48] [SPEAKER_06]: as I did last week.

[01:15:49] [SPEAKER_06]: And so I also gave him a four as did the audience.

[01:15:54] [SPEAKER_06]: They also gave him a four.

[01:15:57] [SPEAKER_06]: So there you go.

[01:15:58] [SPEAKER_06]: That is, that is Cam.

[01:16:01] [SPEAKER_06]: I'll let's I'll lead.

[01:16:03] [SPEAKER_06]: I'll lead off with Cedric from the audience.

[01:16:05] [SPEAKER_06]: The audience gave Cedric four this week down from his five last week.

[01:16:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, he went and volunteered to go on the block

[01:16:15] [SPEAKER_02]: and could be going on this week.

[01:16:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[01:16:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, yes, he's got an alliance like back him up,

[01:16:20] [SPEAKER_02]: but that's just so bad.

[01:16:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I mean, the odds that he goes home are definitely,

[01:16:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they're increased because he is on the block.

[01:16:31] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I would have to, I would give him, I think I kind of want

[01:16:35] [SPEAKER_02]: to give him a three honestly because he's doing that,

[01:16:37] [SPEAKER_02]: but he's got his alliance.

[01:16:39] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'll give him a four.

[01:16:40] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, he volunteered to go on the block.

[01:16:42] [SPEAKER_02]: He could be going home this week.

[01:16:43] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not great.

[01:16:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:16:46] [SPEAKER_00]: The good thing that what Cedric has going for him is

[01:16:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Tucker's like obvious frustration and the obvious target

[01:16:55] [SPEAKER_00]: for Cedric is making Cedric's allies condense around him and be

[01:17:00] [SPEAKER_00]: like, yes, I want to save you.

[01:17:03] [SPEAKER_00]: The bad thing that he has going for him is that he volunteered

[01:17:05] [SPEAKER_00]: to be on the block.

[01:17:06] [SPEAKER_00]: And now it's like, and you volunteered to be on the block so

[01:17:09] [SPEAKER_00]: that you could beat Tucker.

[01:17:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you failed miserably at that because Tucker beat

[01:17:13] [SPEAKER_00]: you in the veto.

[01:17:14] [SPEAKER_00]: So now you're stuck on the block and you have to go up

[01:17:17] [SPEAKER_00]: against go in the AI arena.

[01:17:19] [SPEAKER_00]: So what do we learn from this?

[01:17:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't stop volunteering for the block.

[01:17:22] [SPEAKER_00]: But other than that, though, Cedric still has the strongest bond.

[01:17:27] [SPEAKER_00]: He even still has his strong bond with Angela, you know,

[01:17:32] [SPEAKER_00]: which is funny because she's like, oh, he put me on the block.

[01:17:34] [SPEAKER_00]: So I have no problem putting him up on the block.

[01:17:36] [SPEAKER_00]: But the moment he's like, you know, asking about her if she'll

[01:17:39] [SPEAKER_00]: tie it, if she'll break the tie for him, she says she will.

[01:17:42] [SPEAKER_00]: And they've always had a pretty close relationship.

[01:17:45] [SPEAKER_00]: And so it's like, I still think that Cedric is definitely

[01:17:51] [SPEAKER_00]: positioned way better than Cam is within the three.

[01:17:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Again, people are looking at him.

[01:17:57] [SPEAKER_00]: They are checking for him.

[01:17:58] [SPEAKER_00]: But I think he's one of those people where it's like, you can,

[01:18:03] [SPEAKER_00]: you can understand their threat level, but then on a personal,

[01:18:07] [SPEAKER_00]: on a personal level, you might be like, but I'll just say Cedric

[01:18:10] [SPEAKER_00]: to the get because he seems to get along with a lot of

[01:18:14] [SPEAKER_00]: people in that house.

[01:18:15] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to give him a four as well because he's still

[01:18:19] [SPEAKER_00]: on the block. He still has a chance to go home if something,

[01:18:22] [SPEAKER_00]: you know, crazy really happened before too.

[01:18:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. But I love Cedric so much. Oh my God.

[01:18:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Cedric is lucky he's not getting a one from me.

[01:18:35] [SPEAKER_06]: This listen, listen to me here.

[01:18:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[01:18:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Because Cedric last week.

[01:18:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Chose to go down a path which was protecting Quinn so that

[01:18:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Quinn could protect him with his guaranteed H OH.

[01:18:52] [SPEAKER_06]: We are now sitting here in a world where Cedric might be going

[01:18:58] [SPEAKER_06]: home this week.

[01:19:01] [SPEAKER_06]: That is still a possibility.

[01:19:02] [SPEAKER_06]: And if that happens, my rating must reflect the fact that

[01:19:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Cedric left this week because it's a real possibility.

[01:19:11] [SPEAKER_06]: It is genuinely real possibility and it shouldn't be.

[01:19:15] [SPEAKER_06]: There's no world where that should be a possibility.

[01:19:17] [SPEAKER_06]: This is such an unforced error and he's getting a two from me.

[01:19:24] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I just listen, it'll go back up if he survives because

[01:19:28] [SPEAKER_06]: surely he won't make this mistake again, right?

[01:19:31] [SPEAKER_06]: But man, man, if he goes home.

[01:19:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[01:19:37] [SPEAKER_06]: It's not quite a Tucker move but it's not that far off.

[01:19:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you're not wrong.

[01:19:45] [SPEAKER_02]: He really should be volunteering.

[01:19:48] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just it's so tricky because it's like he's just got all these

[01:19:51] [SPEAKER_02]: people to back him up that I but I mean the chance there is a

[01:19:54] [SPEAKER_02]: chance he goes home.

[01:19:56] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I don't know.

[01:19:57] [SPEAKER_02]: It's God, you're making me want to go down to a three now.

[01:20:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[01:20:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe I'll just split the difference.

[01:20:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll go down to a three.

[01:20:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Melissa goes down.

[01:20:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Sorry stocks.

[01:20:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, Cedric stocks.

[01:20:13] [SPEAKER_06]: No boy.

[01:20:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh boy.

[01:20:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to stand this item.

[01:20:17] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't care.

[01:20:18] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm standing with him.

[01:20:21] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[01:20:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's talk about Chelsea then.

[01:20:24] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I'll say again, I feel the same about Chelsea.

[01:20:29] [SPEAKER_06]: I eat even immediately go and give her a seven for now.

[01:20:34] [SPEAKER_06]: And like, listen, this is the new format we can change if we

[01:20:37] [SPEAKER_06]: need to according to the discussion.

[01:20:38] [SPEAKER_06]: But like, I feel like she's relatively on par with Brooklyn in

[01:20:43] [SPEAKER_06]: terms of positioning.

[01:20:44] [SPEAKER_06]: I actually think Brooklyn has maybe gone a little bit ahead of

[01:20:47] [SPEAKER_06]: her in terms of her connection to the five points and everything

[01:20:52] [SPEAKER_06]: else that said, I think that Chelsea has more substantive

[01:20:56] [SPEAKER_06]: individual relationships, especially on the Pentagon

[01:20:59] [SPEAKER_06]: collective side.

[01:21:00] [SPEAKER_06]: So I like them both for very different reasons.

[01:21:03] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that Chelsea is in a very good spot.

[01:21:06] [SPEAKER_06]: But similar to Brooklyn, it's like, will she hold on to this

[01:21:11] [SPEAKER_06]: spot?

[01:21:13] [SPEAKER_06]: When things start shifting and things could start shifting as

[01:21:17] [SPEAKER_06]: soon as this week, if somebody likes Cedric leaves.

[01:21:19] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think that if Cedric left, I think Chelsea hurts a bit

[01:21:22] [SPEAKER_06]: more than Brooklyn at this time for that move.

[01:21:26] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't think it will happen.

[01:21:27] [SPEAKER_06]: I think Chelsea is in a fine spot.

[01:21:29] [SPEAKER_06]: But again, similar to Brooklyn, I'm just a little bit

[01:21:32] [SPEAKER_06]: worried about like where it goes from here.

[01:21:34] [SPEAKER_06]: Is she able to capitalize on this position?

[01:21:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, I agree.

[01:21:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think I've been very impressed with Chelsea just

[01:21:42] [SPEAKER_02]: because I do feel like she's in a good spot.

[01:21:45] [SPEAKER_02]: She has good relationships with people and she's not.

[01:21:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, like she's she's not putting herself out there in

[01:21:52] [SPEAKER_02]: like a bad way with anyone.

[01:21:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that she.

[01:21:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think I would give her a seven two.

[01:21:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I just I also don't really know that much about her.

[01:22:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think that she's going to be in danger next week.

[01:22:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, who knows? But at this point, I've been pretty

[01:22:08] [SPEAKER_02]: impressed with her as much as I've seen of her.

[01:22:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't really seen that much. So yeah, in terms of her

[01:22:14] [SPEAKER_02]: positioning, I would give her a seven.

[01:22:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah. And she she is actively losing.

[01:22:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she's more than likely going to lose a pawn this week.

[01:22:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's the other thing.

[01:22:29] [SPEAKER_06]: The willingness to lose MJ. Oh, man.

[01:22:33] [SPEAKER_06]: That makes me want to give her a six. I don't like it.

[01:22:36] [SPEAKER_00]: It's complicated.

[01:22:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. Yeah, I mean, yeah.

[01:22:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. She she is OK with with losing MJ.

[01:22:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I think she did though.

[01:22:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Wasn't she the one who brought up for a second?

[01:22:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Like getting rid of Rubina.

[01:22:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. So she so she does realize that.

[01:22:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. So maybe she, you know, we'll see.

[01:22:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe she's still going to go to work this week.

[01:22:59] [SPEAKER_00]: But like and maybe really consider that Rubina, but.

[01:23:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, MJ is a piece that she has.

[01:23:08] [SPEAKER_00]: You do want to keep all your pieces, but Chelsea is so high

[01:23:13] [SPEAKER_00]: at the top. It's just kind of like everybody's had a piece.

[01:23:16] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of it's like, oh, one pawn down.

[01:23:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I got so many to go.

[01:23:22] [SPEAKER_00]: And I like that if Aliyah wins an HOH, you know,

[01:23:27] [SPEAKER_00]: then she doesn't really have to fear much, you know,

[01:23:31] [SPEAKER_00]: a chemo or a T-core, like they're not coming for her right now.

[01:23:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Like they don't plan on coming for it. Quinn does.

[01:23:38] [SPEAKER_00]: And you can tell like, you know,

[01:23:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Quinn keeps trying to prime all his allies.

[01:23:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, once we get here, we're aiming for the Pentagon, right?

[01:23:46] [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to aim for the Pentagon.

[01:23:47] [SPEAKER_00]: His allies, I don't know.

[01:23:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm still very passive.

[01:23:51] [SPEAKER_00]: So even if he's ready to aim at them, I don't know if they are.

[01:23:54] [SPEAKER_00]: So I, and I do really like Chelsea's positioning.

[01:23:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Like honestly, she's doing really good in defending it.

[01:24:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I would, I really want to see her push, but I,

[01:24:06] [SPEAKER_00]: she's just so well insulated that like there's not much

[01:24:11] [SPEAKER_00]: she can push for except for stuff like this,

[01:24:14] [SPEAKER_00]: like these proxy wars with Rabina and MJ.

[01:24:17] [SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see. I, she brought it up. Maybe she'll think about it.

[01:24:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And then honestly, maybe the choice will be taken away from her.

[01:24:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Like that's, that's the thing about the AI arena, but she's, she's,

[01:24:28] [SPEAKER_00]: she's, she didn't luck up.

[01:24:31] [SPEAKER_00]: She's luck and skill got her to this position, you know what I'm saying?

[01:24:35] [SPEAKER_00]: And she's, she's using her skill to keep it, I think.

[01:24:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. I'll keep it at seven because you're right.

[01:24:40] [SPEAKER_06]: I think she, she actually showed an interest in taking out Rabina

[01:24:46] [SPEAKER_06]: over, over MJ, which means that I don't have to like be too

[01:24:51] [SPEAKER_06]: hard on her for being that willing. Cause clearly she does

[01:24:54] [SPEAKER_06]: see that losing Rabina would probably be better for her.

[01:24:58] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that she should push this.

[01:24:59] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that this is exactly what I'm talking about.

[01:25:01] [SPEAKER_06]: When I'm talking about like use your positioning to lock in

[01:25:05] [SPEAKER_06]: future value. She has the ability if she pushed to take

[01:25:10] [SPEAKER_06]: out Rabina, keep MJ and that would be very good for her.

[01:25:15] [SPEAKER_06]: She should, I think she should be using that influence instead of playing

[01:25:20] [SPEAKER_06]: scared and being like, well, I don't want to push too hard and make

[01:25:23] [SPEAKER_06]: people mad at me. Like I think use it while you have it and

[01:25:27] [SPEAKER_06]: keep stay, you know, keep a hold of your pieces. That's how

[01:25:31] [SPEAKER_00]: and I'm still going to blame the AI arena for this because

[01:25:34] [SPEAKER_00]: like the reason I think the only reason why we got last week,

[01:25:39] [SPEAKER_00]: the overt strategy of like everybody be like, okay, we're

[01:25:42] [SPEAKER_00]: going to take out Tucker. Like, you know what I'm saying?

[01:25:44] [SPEAKER_00]: If he loses it, we're going to take out Tucker one because

[01:25:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Tucker was so loud and bold about his like proclaiming who he

[01:25:52] [SPEAKER_00]: is coming for. It was easy for people to be like, oh, see

[01:25:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Tucker saying he's coming for you. I got your back.

[01:25:58] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, we'll take out Tucker if he's on the block

[01:26:00] [SPEAKER_00]: plus Quinn's guaranteed HOH they felt empowered to be like,

[01:26:06] [SPEAKER_00]: okay, I can say whatever I want to about who I'm going to get

[01:26:09] [SPEAKER_00]: rid of because the I already know who the HOH is going to be

[01:26:12] [SPEAKER_00]: and they're my friend. So I don't got to worry about it.

[01:26:15] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think it was it was almost freeing for them last week

[01:26:18] [SPEAKER_00]: to be able to strategize a little bit more beforehand before

[01:26:22] [SPEAKER_00]: the vote this week. There's no assurances like that.

[01:26:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think they're going back to playing scared about the

[01:26:29] [SPEAKER_00]: AI arena because neither Rubina or McKenzie have really

[01:26:34] [SPEAKER_00]: made an overt claim or anything like that.

[01:26:38] [SPEAKER_00]: They don't want to put anything out there for that person

[01:26:42] [SPEAKER_00]: to stay and then it comes back to them and then they don't

[01:26:45] [SPEAKER_00]: know who's going to have power next week.

[01:26:48] [SPEAKER_00]: So I truly think it's the twist again, handicapping them

[01:26:53] [SPEAKER_00]: and we forgot that this twist kind of did that the first

[01:26:56] [SPEAKER_00]: two, you know, first two weeks as well.

[01:26:59] [SPEAKER_00]: It was just last week that it opened up a little bit

[01:27:01] [SPEAKER_00]: because the power was in play.

[01:27:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Tucker blowing up the house like that was in play this week.

[01:27:09] [SPEAKER_00]: We don't have any of that to kind of like propel us forward.

[01:27:12] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's why it's again getting back to a stagnant,

[01:27:17] [SPEAKER_00]: but maybe that's just me.

[01:27:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. All right. Seven.

[01:27:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Seven and it's going to be straight sevens once again for

[01:27:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Chelsea. Melissa,

[01:27:30] [SPEAKER_06]: why don't you start with Joseph? Yeah, I think he's got something.

[01:27:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I think he has something, but I don't know what that is yet.

[01:27:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So I feel like I want to give him a five because I feel

[01:27:40] [SPEAKER_02]: like he's just right there for me, but I'm very interested

[01:27:45] [SPEAKER_02]: in him and I would like him to do stuff moving forward.

[01:27:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And I hope that he becomes something and I feel like it's

[01:27:54] [SPEAKER_02]: like, I feel like I want to say like watch this space,

[01:27:56] [SPEAKER_02]: but this could be he could be going up.

[01:28:00] [SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see. But for now, five.

[01:28:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that was exactly where I was too.

[01:28:05] [SPEAKER_06]: It was like, and I'm the same place where I was last week where I said,

[01:28:09] [SPEAKER_06]: you know, if I had done this rating a couple of days ago,

[01:28:12] [SPEAKER_06]: I might have given him a six, but then it goes back down to a five

[01:28:17] [SPEAKER_06]: because just he's not able to latch in socially.

[01:28:19] [SPEAKER_06]: It's just not happening.

[01:28:20] [SPEAKER_06]: So yeah, I agree. It's a five for me too.

[01:28:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's so weird like how he has all these like great schemes and ideas

[01:28:27] [SPEAKER_00]: and he he's so vocal in this majority alliance and he thinks

[01:28:31] [SPEAKER_00]: he's a star show.

[01:28:32] [SPEAKER_00]: He knows about the inner core of the alliance, the Pentagon,

[01:28:35] [SPEAKER_00]: but it's just like he can't get the traction or the movement

[01:28:39] [SPEAKER_00]: to capitalize on all of the information that he knows.

[01:28:42] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's such a very funny and precarious situation that you loved it.

[01:28:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I really want to see how this plays out.

[01:28:48] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm definitely going to give him a five because his positioning is pretty good.

[01:28:54] [SPEAKER_00]: His sheer knowledge of everything that's going on,

[01:28:57] [SPEAKER_00]: like the information like information wise,

[01:28:59] [SPEAKER_00]: not how he applies that information, but like knowing kind of like where all the pieces are.

[01:29:05] [SPEAKER_00]: It's very astounding that he knows everything.

[01:29:10] [SPEAKER_00]: He applies it kind of weird in his head because he still thinks he's running things.

[01:29:14] [SPEAKER_00]: But like the fact that he I think he has the skill to capitalize on it later down in the future.

[01:29:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm so excited to see what Joseph does for some reason.

[01:29:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Like it's so weird.

[01:29:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what it is.

[01:29:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what it is about him, but I really want to see him like really do some work if he can.

[01:29:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Wow.

[01:29:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Wow, a five.

[01:29:39] [SPEAKER_06]: The audience also gave him a five.

[01:29:41] [SPEAKER_06]: So there you go.

[01:29:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow, another five.

[01:29:46] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[01:29:47] [SPEAKER_06]: What about Kimo?

[01:29:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Last week of five.

[01:29:52] [SPEAKER_02]: He's tricky because I just don't know like I like him and I want him to do well.

[01:29:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like he's got like Joseph.

[01:30:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like he's there or something there, but I feel like he's not really using it.

[01:30:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like this has been like talk to death of like him and T-Cor like they need to get out there.

[01:30:09] [SPEAKER_02]: They need to make moves and like maybe they will.

[01:30:11] [SPEAKER_02]: But I just, I'm worried that they're not going to do it soon enough.

[01:30:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're gonna, they're just going to miss like the trains just going to go by and they're just going to miss it.

[01:30:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And they won't be able to then like catch up to it.

[01:30:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So I don't really, I don't really know about Kimo.

[01:30:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean at this point, it seems like he's in a good spot.

[01:30:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Like generally, like I don't feel like people are really targeting him.

[01:30:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe I'm wrong, but I, so I guess that's good.

[01:30:40] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I don't know.

[01:30:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, yeah.

[01:30:43] [SPEAKER_06]: I feel like his positioning, I like better than last week.

[01:30:48] [SPEAKER_06]: It's just not really the five points because he did anything.

[01:30:53] [SPEAKER_06]: It can happen if that makes sense.

[01:30:56] [SPEAKER_06]: And so, you know, I do like last week I gave him a four and I think that's primarily because I didn't like the position,

[01:31:04] [SPEAKER_06]: but also because I was like putting fault on him and T-Cor and some of the other players that like just actively didn't pursue

[01:31:11] [SPEAKER_06]: the alliance, the actual underdog alliance that should have happened.

[01:31:18] [SPEAKER_06]: Man, then I think about like all of the things that he's saying, but then it's like some of the things he's saying make me think,

[01:31:24] [SPEAKER_06]: oh, this is not good.

[01:31:25] [SPEAKER_06]: He's not, he does not have to write reads on this.

[01:31:27] [SPEAKER_06]: But then in some ways, because he's not doing those things, that's a good thing.

[01:31:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Like he's not acting on any of the bad thoughts.

[01:31:34] [SPEAKER_06]: He's also not acting on any of the good thoughts.

[01:31:37] [SPEAKER_06]: But his position is improving overall because he's not just like by the sheer game moving.

[01:31:45] [SPEAKER_06]: He's moving into a better position.

[01:31:47] [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah.

[01:31:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Sounds like he's right in the middle there with the five.

[01:31:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:31:51] [SPEAKER_00]: To me.

[01:31:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:31:53] [SPEAKER_02]: It seems to me, I think, I honestly think, yeah, like it could go either way next week, but at this point, yeah, five.

[01:31:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I love chemo.

[01:32:02] [SPEAKER_00]: The Hymn T-Corps are probably the only people that I'm like really rooting rooting for.

[01:32:08] [SPEAKER_00]: But other than I just enjoy watching the game progress.

[01:32:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And I agree there's so many things that they could be doing that's way more active.

[01:32:20] [SPEAKER_00]: But I think they're doing just enough, you know what I'm saying right now they're doing just enough they have their spot in the collective they know about the Pentagon.

[01:32:28] [SPEAKER_00]: They have the five points.

[01:32:31] [SPEAKER_00]: They are finding a way to balance between like keeping Tucker close and working with Quinn.

[01:32:38] [SPEAKER_00]: The problem is they just don't push.

[01:32:41] [SPEAKER_00]: They don't push there.

[01:32:43] [SPEAKER_00]: They could we don't know, depending on how AI arena shakes out, they could lose a valuable piece in rubina.

[01:32:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Rubina is like losing their bishop.

[01:33:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[01:33:00] [SPEAKER_06]: If he's let's rubina leave, man, maybe I need to.

[01:33:06] [SPEAKER_06]: If rubina leaves this week, I'm tanking.

[01:33:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:33:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:33:11] [SPEAKER_00]: They like she's a she's a crucial piece for them and she's not a pawn.

[01:33:16] [SPEAKER_00]: She is a crucial, crucial piece for them.

[01:33:20] [SPEAKER_00]: So if rubina leaves, it is not going to be good for their game because like Melissa said, the train will be gone and they will have their game.

[01:33:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Nobody else to turn against these people that they know are coming for them.

[01:33:32] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's just way too passive and they've already let the worst thing happen.

[01:33:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And now it's just like, it's just up to competitions and that's never a good place to be.

[01:33:44] [SPEAKER_00]: That's never a good place for you.

[01:33:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like that style of game play that I hate where it's like, oh, there's this big alliance and they're taking out all the people around us.

[01:33:55] [SPEAKER_02]: But like, they're not the targets. So we're good.

[01:33:58] [SPEAKER_02]: They're not targeting us.

[01:33:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So let's just let it happen.

[01:34:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And then it's like, we'll turn on them eventually and then it's like that eventually time comes.

[01:34:06] [SPEAKER_02]: But they've already lost all the people who would work with them to turn on them.

[01:34:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And then it's just they get taken out one by one.

[01:34:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And I just like hate that style of game play.

[01:34:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And I really hope it doesn't get to that point.

[01:34:16] [SPEAKER_02]: But I'm worried that that's where this is headed.

[01:34:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:34:20] [SPEAKER_06]: I changed my mind to a four.

[01:34:21] [SPEAKER_06]: I just I just feel like there's no world where Rubina should be on the block this week.

[01:34:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[01:34:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Kimo was literally Quinn's like number one final two close ally.

[01:34:34] [SPEAKER_06]: They should have such a heavy say in what Quinn does.

[01:34:37] [SPEAKER_06]: And I think they would if they just said anything, anything, but they haven't.

[01:34:42] [SPEAKER_06]: And because of that, they live, they've let Rubina on the block and Rubina might not go home.

[01:34:46] [SPEAKER_06]: And that's why I was like mostly fine with it because I'm thinking, oh, she's probably fine.

[01:34:49] [SPEAKER_06]: But like, she also could go home and she should not be in that position.

[01:34:55] [SPEAKER_06]: There was such an easy way out of this.

[01:34:57] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't even think like the Leah stuff.

[01:35:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Should have happened.

[01:35:02] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't even think it needed to happen if they just had a conversation.

[01:35:05] [SPEAKER_06]: The conversation Ticor had with Cedric about, hey, Rubina is my hard line.

[01:35:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Why couldn't they have that conversation with Quinn, an actual close ally of theirs who has told them a bunch of it.

[01:35:16] [SPEAKER_06]: If they had said, Quinn, Rubina is our hard line.

[01:35:19] [SPEAKER_06]: She's a number for us.

[01:35:21] [SPEAKER_06]: We do not want her on the block.

[01:35:23] [SPEAKER_06]: We don't not want to risk her.

[01:35:24] [SPEAKER_06]: I do think he would have gone in a different direction.

[01:35:28] [SPEAKER_00]: That's that's a good point.

[01:35:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:35:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that would have been the better play because I just think they really,

[01:35:34] [SPEAKER_00]: because I've been thinking about this all week and everybody's like, why don't Ticor and Kimo tell Quinn about Leah?

[01:35:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I think they really just are stuck with the old information of like, he really,

[01:35:46] [SPEAKER_00]: really, really likes Leah and you don't want to be that person that's like, dude, she's not that into you.

[01:35:53] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[01:35:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Like you again, it's that kill the messenger style thing is like, you don't want to be that person and then you don't even know if they'll believe you.

[01:36:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And if you don't like confrontation like Ticor and Kimo do it's just like it's not worth it for them.

[01:36:07] [SPEAKER_00]: But I agree with you like the hard that that's what they should have done.

[01:36:11] [SPEAKER_00]: They should have just said Rubina has a hard line if they if if and then make him kind of come to the conclusion of who else he wanted to put up.

[01:36:20] [SPEAKER_00]: But I kind of I don't get it, but I could see I see I could see from a point of view of somebody who doesn't like confrontation,

[01:36:28] [SPEAKER_00]: who has to tell somebody that from what they understood for the past four weeks is basically obsessed with this girl that this girl has been going around talking about you behind your back.

[01:36:38] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's like that that they probably just got a lot of anxiety about that because they I don't think they they knew how he would react to that.

[01:36:46] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's not excuse in it.

[01:36:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying I think that's where it where it was when you're dealing with like introverts and people who who don't who don't like confrontation.

[01:36:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.

[01:36:56] [SPEAKER_00]: But I think that was that's that was actually a better shout tear and just be like Rubina, don't do it.

[01:37:02] [SPEAKER_00]: She's with us.

[01:37:03] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, let's figure something else out.

[01:37:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, speaking of Leah.

[01:37:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Last week I gave her three.

[01:37:11] [SPEAKER_06]: I will say I feel like there are two major points in Leah's favor this week one.

[01:37:18] [SPEAKER_06]: She's basically escaped the Quinn being thrown under them under the bus thing.

[01:37:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I was really, really heavily anticipating that she'd be thrown under the bus to Quinn and that she'd be in danger this week and that she would lose Quinn as an ally.

[01:37:29] [SPEAKER_06]: I think we're getting to the point where the statute of limitations are going to be up like you like eventually trying to rat her out to Quinn is not going to work as well because it'll be too far in the past and it's not going to land as heavy.

[01:37:45] [SPEAKER_06]: And Quinn is also not going to be a choice is going to be less reason to tell him.

[01:37:48] [SPEAKER_06]: So I think she's gotten away clean with that.

[01:37:51] [SPEAKER_06]: I think number two, she's not as heavily associated with Cam anymore.

[01:37:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Like it's starting to dissipate a little bit.

[01:38:00] [SPEAKER_06]: And she might may either lose MJ or not lose MJ either way.

[01:38:04] [SPEAKER_06]: She keeps MJ as an ally or if MJ leaves, I think once again we start looking at is Leah a number that we can actually pull in.

[01:38:12] [SPEAKER_06]: If anything, I think her connection to Quinn might hurt her there overall though.

[01:38:16] [SPEAKER_06]: I just feel like I'm a little bit higher.

[01:38:18] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know what do you guys are you guys feeling this way or you're not with me here?

[01:38:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't like her but I get her.

[01:38:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I get what you're saying.

[01:38:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I think where she benefits is that Joseph has now start to pour into her and I think Joseph I meant to say this.

[01:38:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Joseph is kind of I think also a reason why chemo and to core aren't pushing because it wasn't Joseph the one who told them not to push too much about trying to protect Rubina because then it can make them look.

[01:38:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Like not as trustworthy, I believe.

[01:38:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Karen was that Joseph who said that to them?

[01:38:50] [SPEAKER_06]: That was Joseph.

[01:38:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:38:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:38:52] [SPEAKER_00]: So and he kind of by saying that it's saved Leah and him and Leah have been hanging out a lot more.

[01:39:01] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, he has made some missteps in trying to connect with her strategically.

[01:39:05] [SPEAKER_00]: But if Mackenzie's gone, if her and Cam aren't seeing eye to eye and she still wants to talk more trash about Quinn, then I could definitely see Joseph and Leah getting a little bit closer and maybe with somebody who sees more of the game like Joseph.

[01:39:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Then she might be able to warm her way somewhere.

[01:39:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Now if Rubina goes I could definitely see her trying to saddle up to Tucker, which would be so.

[01:39:38] [SPEAKER_00]: But I kind of see what you're saying I think she is in a better position because all of her closest ties might be in jeopardy between her and Cam not being that close MJ going if MJ goes that like it's like a show it'll be like her showman's going for her like she really

[01:39:57] [SPEAKER_00]: might just just be able to stay under the shots being fired overhead.

[01:40:04] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I don't I don't like it, but I might have to give her a four because I think she.

[01:40:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Not three.

[01:40:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know.

[01:40:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I just feel like I'm not that position that greatly.

[01:40:17] [SPEAKER_00]: She just she positioned better than last week, but that's still not good.

[01:40:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I think I just I think I agree.

[01:40:23] [SPEAKER_06]: I just don't know that she's like.

[01:40:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I don't I don't have enough faith in her as a player.

[01:40:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[01:40:32] [SPEAKER_06]: And there it is also.

[01:40:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Tucker wants to put her on the block.

[01:40:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh right.

[01:40:38] [SPEAKER_06]: I forgot about if he does next to Quinn and Cam.

[01:40:43] [SPEAKER_06]: I think she leaves.

[01:40:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I think she's an easy out.

[01:40:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I think like I don't see her like really playing the game.

[01:40:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I just don't feel like she's got it in her.

[01:40:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[01:40:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm I've been so disappointed because I really was rooting for her in the beginning and

[01:40:59] [SPEAKER_02]: now I just feel like it's like, okay, she's not really doing what she can really go.

[01:41:04] [SPEAKER_02]: It just seems like she just kind of wants to like live in the house and doesn't

[01:41:07] [SPEAKER_02]: really care about the game.

[01:41:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, is she like in any alliances actually like I don't know.

[01:41:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I just feel like I don't hear her talking strategy at all.

[01:41:14] [SPEAKER_02]: So for me, yeah, it's a three for me.

[01:41:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[01:41:18] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll see.

[01:41:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I agree with the three and the audience does as well.

[01:41:24] [SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

[01:41:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[01:41:27] [SPEAKER_06]: What about MJ?

[01:41:28] [SPEAKER_06]: He's in some trouble this week.

[01:41:30] [SPEAKER_02]: He's in trouble.

[01:41:32] [SPEAKER_06]: I can't say that like she's the like direct cause of this necessarily.

[01:41:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Like I'm not going to be like, well, she volunteered for the block and got herself voted out.

[01:41:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Like it's weird that that's like the line, like the bottom line, but.

[01:41:51] [SPEAKER_06]: But she's never really done anything to help her.

[01:41:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I think MJ is just like Lisa in a sense of like this just isn't her cast.

[01:42:01] [SPEAKER_00]: She just does not connect with these people.

[01:42:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Was it Chelsea who was telling the story about whenever MJ is talking to somebody and they're near a mirror.

[01:42:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Like she stares at herself in the mirror while she's talking to the people like she just does not.

[01:42:17] [SPEAKER_00]: She just doesn't connect with these people.

[01:42:18] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like she, you know what I'm saying?

[01:42:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Like she just does not have things in common with these people.

[01:42:23] [SPEAKER_00]: She does and she says stuff like I don't know if y'all catch like she'll say stuff on the feed.

[01:42:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my God. It's so hard for me being so pretty.

[01:42:36] [SPEAKER_00]: People just don't understand how hard it is to be pretty.

[01:42:42] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's just like, and everybody just gives her like, okay, MJ, like she just doesn't, she just doesn't deal with them.

[01:42:49] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, because of that.

[01:42:50] [SPEAKER_00]: And because she I don't want to say she doesn't try because you know, she thinks she thinks she has Chelsea and Brooklyn.

[01:42:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I still I'm still trying to figure out why her and Leah don't like each other anymore.

[01:43:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm so confused on how that would happen there.

[01:43:07] [SPEAKER_00]: But like she just it this just isn't her cast.

[01:43:10] [SPEAKER_00]: It isn't and she will more than she is going home unless she wins a arena.

[01:43:16] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm gonna give her two.

[01:43:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree.

[01:43:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I want to give her two as well.

[01:43:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I just feel like it's like she's an easy out.

[01:43:21] [SPEAKER_02]: She just doesn't have anyone there.

[01:43:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, you know, it it's just it's too bad because she could be a really strong player.

[01:43:29] [SPEAKER_02]: But I just feel like she doesn't have any allies and it's just the easy move this week to be like, yeah, let's just get her out if she stays on the block.

[01:43:38] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it's a two for me.

[01:43:40] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's so interesting to watch her like talk to people just on a personal level.

[01:43:45] [SPEAKER_00]: She just it just seems really hard for them to connect with her.

[01:43:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Yep.

[01:43:50] [SPEAKER_06]: She's the most likely person to leave this week, I think.

[01:43:53] [SPEAKER_06]: And that alone is not great for her rating.

[01:43:56] [SPEAKER_06]: But the audience disagrees.

[01:43:57] [SPEAKER_06]: They gave her a three.

[01:43:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Who's from us but a three from the audience.

[01:44:02] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[01:44:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's do it.

[01:44:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Let's talk about Quinn the deep fake HOH.

[01:44:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Last week he squeezed by with a four.

[01:44:14] [SPEAKER_06]: He is HOH this week.

[01:44:16] [SPEAKER_06]: He can play in the next and next week's HOH.

[01:44:22] [SPEAKER_06]: But man, I know I have already talked about it, but like I just feel like he did not use this HOH to great value.

[01:44:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Like on both ends, right?

[01:44:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Not even getting out like a target of his didn't get a target out.

[01:44:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Didn't get a second information.

[01:44:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, didn't solidify any positioning.

[01:44:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Nope.

[01:44:40] [SPEAKER_02]: What was the point and he's in danger.

[01:44:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I mean, if Tucker wins or if anybody went like, I just feel like he's, he's in danger.

[01:44:48] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's yeah, human danger.

[01:44:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not good for him moving forward.

[01:44:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm just not, I don't think, I don't know.

[01:44:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I guess I would give him like a three probably.

[01:44:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:45:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Just, you know.

[01:45:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm giving him a three because the only person I gave the two is definitely going out.

[01:45:06] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's really like he didn't get the Leah information.

[01:45:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Like the he's actually undermining the power structure that he does have by like talking about the future with people like T-Corin Kibo and being like, oh yeah, like I want to, I want to strike strike at the the Pentagon or strike at the collective.

[01:45:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Once we get the jury, it's like you're undermining what you already have in in process here and it was just not a good HOH for it to be a non-secret secret HOH.

[01:45:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, both.

[01:45:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, both his targets are safe.

[01:45:48] [SPEAKER_00]: That's wild.

[01:45:50] [SPEAKER_00]: That is just wild to me.

[01:45:52] [SPEAKER_00]: This is so unfortunate for Quinn.

[01:45:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[01:45:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, the audience gave him four.

[01:45:57] [SPEAKER_06]: And I will say I'm probably closer to giving him a four this week than I was last week.

[01:46:02] [SPEAKER_06]: And that's mostly because as long as he can survive the onslaught of Tucker, I do think he still has legs in the game, especially on the Pentagon collective side of things.

[01:46:20] [SPEAKER_06]: And man, it's just like gameplay this week.

[01:46:23] [SPEAKER_06]: I just feel like was so yeah, I think I have to go with the three because because here's the thing.

[01:46:30] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that unlike some other players who are also not in great spots, I think that he's actively working against his own interests at the moment.

[01:46:37] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, not not like he should be targeting Tucker, but that's all right.

[01:46:42] [SPEAKER_06]: But like beyond that, I think that he should be nestling in with the collective and Pentagon or like, you know, doing more work to get, you know, T-Corps and chemo back on board, or maybe both.

[01:46:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Like whatever he's doing is not working at the moment.

[01:46:59] [SPEAKER_06]: And he's losing his grip on the numbers that he's banking on to strike at the group currently keeping safe.

[01:47:08] [SPEAKER_06]: So it's a little little sketchy out there for Quinn.

[01:47:13] [SPEAKER_06]: So we'll see. I feel like it could go up from here, but but only only if he survives.

[01:47:22] [SPEAKER_06]: All right, Rubina Rubina is in a bit of danger here as well.

[01:47:29] [SPEAKER_06]: I think she's probably the second most likely person to leave.

[01:47:33] [SPEAKER_06]: And that's if the vote doesn't flip on her to begin with.

[01:47:37] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that MJ has a perfectly fine chance of winning the competition.

[01:47:40] [SPEAKER_06]: She won the power up in the first place.

[01:47:46] [SPEAKER_06]: She's perfectly athletic enough to win anything that's athletic.

[01:47:51] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know. It doesn't look great.

[01:47:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And then the fact that she is, she's getting all of the downsides of a show match with not even none of the benefits.

[01:48:03] [SPEAKER_00]: They didn't even like get to capitalize on their hot non-kiss.

[01:48:06] [SPEAKER_00]: And every, every other day they're like, oh, we got to cool it down.

[01:48:10] [SPEAKER_00]: We got to cool it.

[01:48:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Like it sucks.

[01:48:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And I really hate, I truly, I come on all these podcasts and I say I hate when like, especially like women like Rubina always take the bullet for like the men.

[01:48:21] [SPEAKER_00]: They end up getting sniped on accident because people are trying to come after somebody else.

[01:48:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I truly hate that for her because I think her game was she was doing really pretty well just like socially, socially speaking, she was doing really well before this.

[01:48:37] [SPEAKER_00]: And then all it took was her and Tucker like getting together and her position plummet to the point where she could be walking out of the door.

[01:48:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, which a week ago I wouldn't have thought that she would have been the next one out.

[01:48:51] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[01:48:51] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's very unfortunate.

[01:48:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm definitely hovering between a two and a three for her.

[01:48:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I just don't know.

[01:49:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think it has to be a two because her and Mackenzie basically have the same amount of like percentage of going home to me.

[01:49:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't know.

[01:49:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. I mean, I agree.

[01:49:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I just, I think I'm going to give her a three because I do feel like she has more allies than Mackenzie.

[01:49:19] [SPEAKER_02]: She does that.

[01:49:20] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think that like the if you had them both on the block, like I think like there could be a situation where like people, her allies like rally together to be like, look, we got to save Rubina.

[01:49:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Whereas I don't feel like there's that many people who would rally to save MJ or like put themselves out there for that.

[01:49:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So I do think like I want to give Rubina a three.

[01:49:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was really funny how she was talking to Angela and was like, well, you know, people see me and Tucker as a showman.

[01:49:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And Angela just kept being like, I don't see that.

[01:49:49] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't see you guys together at all.

[01:49:51] [SPEAKER_02]: No way.

[01:49:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And it was like, she clearly was like, no, no, we are we are like a showman.

[01:49:55] [SPEAKER_02]: But like people are talking about it.

[01:49:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, no, not you two.

[01:49:59] [SPEAKER_02]: No, never.

[01:50:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God.

[01:50:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I think I have to side more on Mari's end here with the two.

[01:50:10] [SPEAKER_06]: And the reason I would go there is because I do have to place some blame on Rubina for being in this position.

[01:50:19] [SPEAKER_06]: True.

[01:50:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Starting with last week when Quinn is when reveal it when is exposed for having the power and knowing that he's going to be.

[01:50:31] [SPEAKER_06]: The H OH the following week, knowing that he's probably going to be coming for Tucker and that she's associated with Tucker.

[01:50:37] [SPEAKER_06]: She still like had a conversation that was very like accusatory of like, hey, you lied to me.

[01:50:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Like everybody else was chill with it.

[01:50:45] [SPEAKER_06]: But Rubina like was the one who took the most offense seemingly, at least from Quinn's perspective.

[01:50:50] [SPEAKER_06]: And that really made Quinn feel like his relationship with her with her was damaged.

[01:50:54] [SPEAKER_06]: And what she could have been doing instead was playing up the final two that they had at the time, knowing that he was going to be the H OH next week.

[01:51:04] [SPEAKER_06]: I just really feel like there's so many reasons Rubina shouldn't be up on the block.

[01:51:07] [SPEAKER_06]: I think that chemo and T core have a lot to answer for it.

[01:51:10] [SPEAKER_06]: But I also think Rubina has a lot to answer for it.

[01:51:12] [SPEAKER_06]: She should not be up there on the basis of her own relationship with Quinn, but she led that falter.

[01:51:18] [SPEAKER_06]: And and so if she goes home, I do think that she shares a lot of that blame.

[01:51:21] [SPEAKER_06]: So yeah, I think I'd go with.

[01:51:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:51:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I cannot believe.

[01:51:28] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I just can't believe that this is where she's at when she was she was on the rise.

[01:51:33] [SPEAKER_06]: You know, literally had a final two with Quinn last week might be going home on Quinn's H OH this week.

[01:51:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

[01:51:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Not great.

[01:51:43] [SPEAKER_06]: The audience gave her three three from the audience.

[01:51:47] [SPEAKER_06]: OK.

[01:51:49] [SPEAKER_06]: He core.

[01:51:51] [SPEAKER_06]: He core got a six last week.

[01:51:53] [SPEAKER_06]: And she get a six again.

[01:51:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I think I would give her I'd give her a five.

[01:51:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I think like similar to chemo, like I just feel like.

[01:52:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:52:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[01:52:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Same same.

[01:52:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:52:06] [SPEAKER_00]: They're positioning is a little bit more favorable again because they're playing both sides.

[01:52:14] [SPEAKER_00]: They have Tucker and then backing them up.

[01:52:17] [SPEAKER_00]: They have Quinn's loyalty.

[01:52:18] [SPEAKER_00]: They're just not active enough to.

[01:52:23] [SPEAKER_00]: To really flex their muscles and get a better positioning.

[01:52:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's hard.

[01:52:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I love to go so much.

[01:52:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I'm going to end.

[01:52:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I think she's still more.

[01:52:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I think she's still more insulated than chemo if things were to go sideways.

[01:52:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:52:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a give her I'm a give her a five though.

[01:52:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm like a four or five.

[01:52:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I have to it feels wrong because I feel like she's such a better player than this.

[01:53:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly.

[01:53:03] Like.

[01:53:04] [SPEAKER_06]: At the end of the day, like the results just aren't there right now.

[01:53:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Because again, and again, it goes back to Rabina for me.

[01:53:12] [SPEAKER_06]: There's just she should not be.

[01:53:14] [SPEAKER_06]: This should be her moment to strike.

[01:53:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Quinn, her ally is the H O H.

[01:53:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Like Tucker is safe.

[01:53:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, I guess now we have to just take a good shot somewhere else.

[01:53:27] [SPEAKER_06]: But she she can't get there.

[01:53:30] [SPEAKER_06]: And losing Rabina would be devastating to her game.

[01:53:34] [SPEAKER_06]: And there's just such a good chance that that happens.

[01:53:39] [SPEAKER_06]: So yeah, unfortunately, I have to go with the five and the audience agreed.

[01:53:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.

[01:53:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Another five.

[01:53:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, which leaves us with Tucker.

[01:53:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Jesus.

[01:53:53] [SPEAKER_06]: I gave him a one last week.

[01:53:56] [SPEAKER_06]: And you know what?

[01:53:58] [SPEAKER_06]: He deserved the one so much that he even gave me a bit of a soundbite for a one.

[01:54:04] [SPEAKER_06]: What?

[01:54:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[01:54:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

[01:54:09] [SPEAKER_01]: That's very accurate.

[01:54:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[01:54:10] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, let's compare it. This is series.

[01:54:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[01:54:18] [SPEAKER_04]: I like them both.

[01:54:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Man.

[01:54:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, he's he.

[01:54:25] [SPEAKER_06]: I can't believe I'm saying this.

[01:54:27] [SPEAKER_06]: He used the veto on himself this week.

[01:54:29] [SPEAKER_06]: So improved.

[01:54:30] [SPEAKER_06]: So that's good.

[01:54:31] [SPEAKER_02]: He is a star.

[01:54:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my God.

[01:54:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Strategic mastermind.

[01:54:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my God.

[01:54:38] [SPEAKER_00]: He's the veto on himself. Yeah.

[01:54:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, maybe, maybe it goes to show that he, you know,

[01:54:46] [SPEAKER_02]: is recognizing that he shouldn't be super comfortable and shouldn't be like,

[01:54:51] [SPEAKER_02]: you know,

[01:54:51] [SPEAKER_02]: he should actually like know that he could be going home and maybe that'll

[01:54:55] [SPEAKER_02]: kind of like start a fire under him to be like, okay,

[01:54:58] [SPEAKER_02]: now I'm actually going to like think about myself.

[01:55:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[01:55:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I learned nothing.

[01:55:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:55:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Because to him, this is all just a game.

[01:55:08] [SPEAKER_00]: It's all just the show.

[01:55:09] [SPEAKER_00]: It's all just for fun.

[01:55:10] [SPEAKER_00]: It's all for.

[01:55:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Which it is, which I do appreciate.

[01:55:14] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah,

[01:55:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I want him to stick around so that we can be enjoying his,

[01:55:20] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, antics rather than him leave right away,

[01:55:25] [SPEAKER_02]: which I'm concerned about that he's going to be like the next one to go

[01:55:28] [SPEAKER_02]: like the second he doesn't win something he's going to be gone.

[01:55:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.

[01:55:31] [SPEAKER_00]: The second he doesn't win, he's going.

[01:55:34] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's why I got to give him a three because if you look at the

[01:55:37] [SPEAKER_00]: board here,

[01:55:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I think everybody puts him up except for Rubina.

[01:55:46] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't think Angela would.

[01:55:47] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't think Rubina would be my leave.

[01:55:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:55:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Rubina might leave and Angela can't play next week.

[01:55:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Yo, yeah.

[01:55:56] [SPEAKER_06]: There's a chance chemo and T-core don't either,

[01:55:58] [SPEAKER_06]: but that puts them in a really tight spot.

[01:56:02] [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm not sure they would handle that.

[01:56:05] [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, do you think they'll have to put still put up three people

[01:56:09] [SPEAKER_00]: next week?

[01:56:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Like if they.

[01:56:11] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, if anything, that's better for him because it means that

[01:56:13] [SPEAKER_06]: there's still an AI comp.

[01:56:14] [SPEAKER_06]: But if they get rid of the AI comp, which seems like it might be

[01:56:17] [SPEAKER_06]: likely they do considering they're announcing a new twist.

[01:56:20] [SPEAKER_06]: That's very bad for him.

[01:56:21] [SPEAKER_06]: All of a sudden,

[01:56:22] [SPEAKER_06]: if he now all of a sudden, if he loses the HOH,

[01:56:25] [SPEAKER_06]: no AI comp anymore,

[01:56:27] [SPEAKER_06]: and they all plan to backdoor him.

[01:56:29] [SPEAKER_06]: And so just like that.

[01:56:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[01:56:32] [SPEAKER_01]: It could be over.

[01:56:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Which would be very sad.

[01:56:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I liked it.

[01:56:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I like him.

[01:56:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I want him to stick around.

[01:56:38] [SPEAKER_01]: He's very entertaining.

[01:56:39] [SPEAKER_01]: But he's very,

[01:56:40] [SPEAKER_00]: he is entertaining,

[01:56:41] [SPEAKER_00]: but he also annoys me just because he like,

[01:56:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I,

[01:56:46] [SPEAKER_00]: whoever said it,

[01:56:47] [SPEAKER_00]: like I don't like people who are that loud and that wrong.

[01:56:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Like him,

[01:56:52] [SPEAKER_00]: him really being like, you never said that, bro.

[01:56:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, sir.

[01:56:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:56:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't love the accents and stuff.

[01:57:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm kind of just like, okay,

[01:57:03] [SPEAKER_02]: that's a little too much.

[01:57:04] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah,

[01:57:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I like the fact that he's not taking the game so seriously.

[01:57:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I want someone,

[01:57:10] [SPEAKER_02]: like I want him to take it a little more seriously,

[01:57:12] [SPEAKER_02]: but it is very like Dr.

[01:57:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Will ask where it's like, you know,

[01:57:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just, I'm just going to like,

[01:57:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I want to create good TV.

[01:57:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I want to just, you know, team fun feeds, whatever.

[01:57:22] [SPEAKER_02]: But I do wish he had a little bit more drive to like actually

[01:57:27] [SPEAKER_02]: win and stick around because I,

[01:57:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like he just is chaotic to be chaotic and not

[01:57:33] [SPEAKER_02]: necessarily in a strategic way.

[01:57:35] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah.

[01:57:36] [SPEAKER_00]: He literally got bored.

[01:57:39] [SPEAKER_00]: He literally got bored and forced himself into the athletic

[01:57:43] [SPEAKER_00]: comp.

[01:57:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I have to win position.

[01:57:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Like he didn't want to,

[01:57:47] [SPEAKER_00]: like he didn't want to be in the team.

[01:57:48] [SPEAKER_00]: When he,

[01:57:49] [SPEAKER_00]: he literally was like socially in with almost everybody before

[01:57:54] [SPEAKER_00]: his blowup.

[01:57:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Like he was Mr.

[01:57:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Charisma.

[01:57:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Everybody wanted to be with him.

[01:58:00] [SPEAKER_00]: And he had allies.

[01:58:02] [SPEAKER_00]: He had people like Quinn was trying to work with him.

[01:58:05] [SPEAKER_00]: He had allies that wanted to try and bring him in so that

[01:58:08] [SPEAKER_00]: they could do real damage.

[01:58:09] [SPEAKER_00]: And he really could have,

[01:58:12] [SPEAKER_00]: he could have ran this game.

[01:58:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm telling you,

[01:58:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Tucker could have been like the next Tyler if he,

[01:58:19] [SPEAKER_00]: if he knew enough about the game,

[01:58:21] [SPEAKER_00]: he had the social and the physical to really do that.

[01:58:25] [SPEAKER_00]: But he just got so bored with the waiting and the past,

[01:58:30] [SPEAKER_00]: the passiveness that he's,

[01:58:31] [SPEAKER_00]: that he has forced himself into this position where he has

[01:58:34] [SPEAKER_00]: to win.

[01:58:34] [SPEAKER_00]: And the sad part about it is he loves it.

[01:58:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I have to get back to it though.

[01:58:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I think he could,

[01:58:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I think if he just was like,

[01:58:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I could be going home.

[01:58:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I think maybe he could get a scare and then be like,

[01:58:47] [SPEAKER_02]: okay, I need to like get back these relationships,

[01:58:50] [SPEAKER_02]: like solidify some alliance,

[01:58:52] [SPEAKER_02]: like win some HOH comps and like make,

[01:58:56] [SPEAKER_02]: you know,

[01:58:56] [SPEAKER_02]: make something out of it,

[01:58:57] [SPEAKER_02]: get some information,

[01:58:58] [SPEAKER_02]: start gathering the troops or whatever.

[01:59:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Like maybe he could like reign it back in because he has

[01:59:05] [SPEAKER_02]: that social ability,

[01:59:06] [SPEAKER_02]: but I just don't know if he wants to do that.

[01:59:10] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, that's what,

[01:59:11] [SPEAKER_06]: that's what happens when like if you are the guy or the person

[01:59:15] [SPEAKER_06]: who is able to win a bunch of comps because the comp suit you,

[01:59:20] [SPEAKER_06]: you get this many tries,

[01:59:22] [SPEAKER_06]: you get this many second chances, third chances, fourth chances,

[01:59:25] [SPEAKER_06]: because not only do you get to survive weeks where you

[01:59:29] [SPEAKER_06]: otherwise would have gone home,

[01:59:30] [SPEAKER_06]: but people are forced to work with you and deal with you

[01:59:34] [SPEAKER_06]: because they know that you're going to be winning.

[01:59:35] [SPEAKER_06]: And so you're right.

[01:59:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Tucker at any point could be like,

[01:59:41] [SPEAKER_06]: you know what?

[01:59:41] [SPEAKER_06]: I've had enough of that chaos.

[01:59:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Let me settle in and actually start playing the game now.

[01:59:47] [SPEAKER_06]: And it would work because he's going to win competitions

[01:59:49] [SPEAKER_06]: and people know he's going to win competitions.

[01:59:52] [SPEAKER_06]: And yeah, he could absolutely do that.

[01:59:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Will he?

[01:59:56] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't think so.

[01:59:57] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the tricky thing.

[01:59:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Will he?

[02:00:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

[02:00:01] [SPEAKER_06]: I agree with Mari.

[02:00:03] [SPEAKER_06]: I'd go up to a three this week, but you know,

[02:00:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Tenu was here because I think Kimo doesn't put him on the block.

[02:00:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll agree with the three because I think, yeah,

[02:00:14] [SPEAKER_02]: like he's not going home this week.

[02:00:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Like if we didn't know he had used the veto on himself by this point,

[02:00:19] [SPEAKER_02]: like I would have given him way lower because it's like,

[02:00:20] [SPEAKER_02]: why are you even thinking about not using the veto on yourself?

[02:00:22] [SPEAKER_02]: But the fact that we know he used the veto on himself,

[02:00:25] [SPEAKER_02]: he's not going home this week.

[02:00:26] [SPEAKER_02]: He can win HOH.

[02:00:27] [SPEAKER_02]: He could pull something together for next week.

[02:00:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Like we don't know what's going to happen.

[02:00:30] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it's like, it's a three for me, but yeah, we'll see.

[02:00:34] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[02:00:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, the audience gave him a four.

[02:00:38] [SPEAKER_06]: A little bit higher on talk.

[02:00:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay.

[02:00:42] [SPEAKER_06]: That is that's it.

[02:00:44] [SPEAKER_06]: That's the stock watch.

[02:00:45] [SPEAKER_01]: We did it.

[02:00:46] [SPEAKER_06]: We did it.

[02:00:47] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.

[02:00:48] [SPEAKER_06]: That might have been faster.

[02:00:49] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm not sure.

[02:00:50] [SPEAKER_06]: I feel like we're done a little quicker.

[02:00:52] [SPEAKER_06]: But I feel like he was also very good.

[02:00:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I like it.

[02:00:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I like it that way.

[02:00:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like it's more like conversational and like,

[02:00:59] [SPEAKER_06]: yeah, and we still turns at times, but like, uh, we, I don't know.

[02:01:03] [SPEAKER_06]: It felt good.

[02:01:03] [SPEAKER_06]: I liked it.

[02:01:04] [SPEAKER_00]: And it didn't feel like we were overly repeating ourselves.

[02:01:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[02:01:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I do agree with that.

[02:01:09] [SPEAKER_02]: When you, yeah, when we do one person at a time,

[02:01:12] [SPEAKER_02]: it does sometimes feel like it's like, okay,

[02:01:13] [SPEAKER_02]: well exactly what you just said.

[02:01:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that everything I wanted to say?

[02:01:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Because I feel like I have to say something.

[02:01:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[02:01:21] [SPEAKER_02]: No, much better.

[02:01:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[02:01:23] [SPEAKER_06]: What a board though.

[02:01:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[02:01:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Basically there's two people in the green.

[02:01:28] [SPEAKER_06]: It's Chelsea and Brooklyn and everyone else is either neutral

[02:01:32] [SPEAKER_06]: or in the red,

[02:01:34] [SPEAKER_06]: which I think is an accurate state of the house right now.

[02:01:38] [SPEAKER_00]: That's okay.

[02:01:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[02:01:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Here's the deal.

[02:01:42] [SPEAKER_06]: I feel like Cedric had a chance to be green this week.

[02:01:46] [SPEAKER_06]: He volunteered for the block.

[02:01:49] [SPEAKER_06]: And that's where we are.

[02:01:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And I've done it.

[02:01:53] [SPEAKER_02]: You never do that.

[02:01:54] [SPEAKER_00]: The board looks like this.

[02:01:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And yet this season is so in the green.

[02:01:58] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's entertaining as well.

[02:02:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I love that.

[02:02:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I love that for us.

[02:02:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh boy.

[02:02:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, that is the stock watch for the week.

[02:02:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Of course, if you go to reality stockwatch.com,

[02:02:13] [SPEAKER_06]: you can play along yourself,

[02:02:15] [SPEAKER_06]: buy and sell shares of the players

[02:02:18] [SPEAKER_06]: and see how you did,

[02:02:20] [SPEAKER_06]: how you do each week based on how they are rated here

[02:02:23] [SPEAKER_06]: on the podcast.

[02:02:24] [SPEAKER_06]: That is how it works.

[02:02:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Any final thoughts on the week?

[02:02:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Just that I'm excited to be back and I'm excited to see what

[02:02:34] [SPEAKER_02]: happens next week.

[02:02:37] [SPEAKER_02]: We knew this week,

[02:02:39] [SPEAKER_02]: it didn't matter who won HOH.

[02:02:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So it just kind of felt like a dull week for me.

[02:02:45] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm excited to start a new HOH,

[02:02:50] [SPEAKER_02]: see if we can shake some things up.

[02:02:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Get a new twist.

[02:02:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it gets to a guy.

[02:02:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Get a new twist, I guess.

[02:02:56] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll see how that goes.

[02:02:57] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, very excited for this next week.

[02:03:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[02:03:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Any final thoughts?

[02:03:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm loving this.
