BB26 Sunday Live Feed Update: Does Leah Want to Kiss Quinn?

[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Hello everyone and good morning.

[00:00:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome to our live feed update for September 8th.

[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm your host, Taran Armstrong, and I'm here today to update you on everything that happened

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_02]: yesterday.

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_02]: The Big Brother 26 Live Feeds, it was day 54 in the house and we had a veto competition

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_02]: or at least I think we did.

[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_02]: We have plans for the week and things got a little messy.

[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_02]: There was some almost kissing happening.

[00:01:16] [SPEAKER_02]: It was quite a mess.

[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And with me to talk about the mess is Kirsten.

[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_02]: How are you doing, Kirsten?

[00:01:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm doing great.

[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm so excited to be here.

[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_03]: We get to talk about Big Brother history.

[00:01:27] [SPEAKER_03]: We get to talk about who we would kiss, marry or evict.

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_03]: We get to talk about our favorite fruit.

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm so excited to be here.

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, of course, as you know, Chelsea won the HOH.

[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_02]: She nominated Angela and Timo with kind of the intention to target Angela initially.

[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_02]: But there have been discussions primarily between Quinn and MJ and then separately with

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Cam about potentially turning the vote on to Timo.

[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And so we go into the veto competition with this notion that like Chelsea does not want

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_02]: the veto to be used.

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_02]: If it is used, she's looking at Leah.

[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And if it's not used, there's definitely a chance that this vote flips over on to Timo.

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And Chelsea said her HOH is now in God's hands.

[00:02:26] [SPEAKER_03]: And so it's only natural what happened next.

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_02]: So before the veto, there wasn't much.

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_02]: But MJ did talk to Chelsea a bit more about the vote.

[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea did make a little bit of a soft pitch to keep Timo around like, hey, if Timo stays,

[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_02]: then we're on the good side of this trio.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_02]: That's three votes to keep us.

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_02]: But MJ was still kind of pushing this idea that like, nah, I really feel like taking

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Timo out, keeping Angela around might be the better idea.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_02]: When they talked to Cam about it, he's also down for Timo to go.

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_02]: But these are just preliminary conversations that we'll get more of later.

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_02]: So we'll come back to this.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_03]: So we'll see.

[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll see what happens.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Just every other week.

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So why would you think it wouldn't be used this way?

[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, the veto draw happens.

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Quinn, Rubina and MJ are chosen to play in the veto.

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_03]: And they were all drawn, correct?

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Like no one picked someone.

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_03]: That was something I was having trouble parsing out.

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I believe.

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure that Quinn and MJ, I believe, were drawn.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I cannot guarantee that Rubina was not chosen, but

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_02]: it would seem likely to me that they were all drawn.

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_02]: But they were talking about because they were talking about how

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Angela was like very happy that MJ got drawn.

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And let's be real, nobody's picking Quinn.

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Turns out the veto competition is OTEV.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's still very hot here in Southern California.

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_02]: So they were telling them to make sure to stay hydrated.

[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And because this could be OTEV can be very physical, very taxing, can take a long time.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Lots of running around in hot weather might not be the best for the house guests.

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_02]: So we got a pretty good retelling of like really the entire competition, which is pretty

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_02]: rare because veto competitions, they can take hours.

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a lot to retell.

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_02]: So you usually get like little bits and pieces.

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But it was OTEV, and there are some fans in the house.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And so I'm sure they were excited to play.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_02]: So the first question for OTEV was something along the lines of like who didn't compete

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_02]: in the HOH, the first HOH.

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And everyone, you know, they ran out.

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It was taking a long time.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_02]: They were looking for their answer.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, Tucker is the answer to that question.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_02]: They're all looking for their Tucker pieces.

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_02]: And it took a while.

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I think Quinn was probably like gathering his pieces for later.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_02]: He had two stacks.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Getting his stack together, trying to gather, you know, oh, look, this piece is pretty rare.

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to grab this one, put it, pull it in the stack.

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And so, you know, one by one, they come up.

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_02]: They start bringing up their Tucker answers.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Angela at one point looks over and talks with MJ.

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_02]: MJ's like, oh, man, I have Cedric.

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And Angela is like, MJ's wrong.

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_02]: But thinks, you know what?

[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to pull a rock star.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I know better.

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say to MJ, no, no, no.

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I think you're right.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's Cedric.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't worry about it.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_02]: And so, of course, as they're all one by one pulling out their Tucker answers,

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Tucker, Tucker, Tucker, and MJ pulls up Cedric.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Angela is beaming like, ha ha, I'm not out.

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Trickster.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_02]: MJ, the only person to get this one wrong, answering Cedric,

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_02]: except Cedric was the right answer.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_02]: And and so he won in the first round and everyone got out.

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_03]: OK, I do think based on what I'm like, what I was hearing yesterday,

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_03]: like the question did seem a little bit confusing.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, I think people.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Understood it as like, who was the first one in the H.O.H.

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_03]: competition that was eliminated and not which house guests weren't eligible to play,

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_03]: which of course was Cedric and Chelsea who couldn't play.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_03]: And so I do think it was like a little bit of a tricky question for round one.

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think that was probably done on purpose.

[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I think production was so sick of them all studying together that they were like,

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_03]: let's do something funny.

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_02]: So, yes, every single one of them was wrong except for MJ.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And so for the first time ever in the history of OTAV,

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_02]: we not only didn't go to the final round, but we just didn't go to any round other

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_02]: than the first round.

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_02]: This is not supposed to be a difficult.

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, listen, I'm not going to complain.

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, this is this is how I would like OTAV.

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I would like it to be a harder thing.

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, this is the problem, though.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it was a harder thing.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I think this is this is just the perfect representation of this cast.

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I love that Angela specifically brought up not wanting to be a rock star

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_03]: because I do believe, you know, what?

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Six years ago today, you and I were sitting here on a Sunday

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_03]: updating about Rockstar and OTAV.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm pretty sure.

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_03]: And by not saying something, she caused like she did like the most

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_03]: rock star thing possible by everyone being wrong.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_03]: And then it was over because I assume if they were all wrong,

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_03]: they would just do another question and start over.

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not like nobody can win the power of veto.

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Probably.

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I would imagine they just scrapped the round at that point.

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Man, I could not believe I was like what?

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Because when I heard it, I was they were like, oh, yeah, it ended in one round.

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, that's not how it works.

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_02]: How could only one person can get out in a round?

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_02]: How would that even happen?

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, no, no, they all got the question wrong.

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, wait, you can get the question wrong.

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you know what?

[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_03]: That's a new and exciting way for OTAV to go.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_03]: And I hope in future seasons, maybe it's not.

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, everyone's wrong except for one in the first round.

[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_03]: But like if OTAV could presumably be done in two rounds or three rounds

[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_03]: or just anything less than the full number of rounds, like that's exciting.

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I love that.

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_02]: It truly is.

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I cannot wait to see how they edit this together in the episode, because

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I really think this is this is the kind of thing that like

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_02]: this season will be known for the one round OTAV.

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Because again, like we've talked all season long about the strategy.

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_02]: The season has not exactly been the highest of tiers.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And so this being such a perfect representation of that, I think is

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_02]: really what a lot of this season is going to be remembered for.

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And so there it is.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_02]: MJ has the veto.

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Beautiful.

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_03]: And like, I just I cannot emphasize enough how fun this is

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and how much the like poor gameplay is making the season so fun for me.

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I think I've called it like Big Brother.

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Oops, all Fouta, like a bunch.

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's how it feels.

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's just so enjoyable and such a breath of fresh air for something different to happen.

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_03]: And like what if this becomes a season that future players are shown in sequester

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_03]: and dictates like future seasons?

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Like that's so fun.

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure it won't be.

[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_03]: They'll probably go maybe 16 forever.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll never give you anything else.

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_03]: But like.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Scenarios, it could be so fun.

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, so that's that's what happened.

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Angela trying to trick MJ was a funny story to hear after the fact.

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Ironically, though, this kind of further solidified to MJ that Angela is not a threat

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_02]: in any capacity and that Kimo really should be the one to go.

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_02]: She definitely does not want to use the veto.

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So the intention right now is for MJ to keep the nominations the same for the first time all season.

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm sure production in the diary room will have something to say about that.

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_02]: That's not how it works, but I'm sure that they want this video to be used.

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, and I think that like a lot of like not, I guess not a lot, but like

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Kimo should definitely want to use that someone could go up that would go home over him.

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Angela obviously wants to use that she's on the block.

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I think that Chelsea should want to use because she should want to put up Quinn

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_03]: because Quinn is by far the best target for and would be a really excellent first juror.

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, I really think that he would do well in that position,

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_03]: and that should be something that people are thinking about at this point.

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_03]: But I haven't really heard any rumblings about,

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_03]: you know, wanting to stack the jury in any particular way.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree.

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, I mentioned this yesterday.

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I know that it's not necessarily like the most commonly held opinion,

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_02]: but I really do think that Chelsea should be targeting Quinn this week.

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, no, I do fall on that still, but I am so I would be so scared of a trio also at this point

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_03]: in the game, like it's fully like one third of the house will never betray each other.

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_03]: So Lincoln Kimo is not the worst.

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not the worst, but like I really like if I'm I just keep looking at the cast,

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_02]: the remaining cats and no nobody in that trio is targeting Chelsea anytime remotely soon.

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And whereas Quinn and or Leah, I think both of them could absolutely target Chelsea,

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_02]: could absolutely put Chelsea in an awful position where she's up against

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_02]: T-Core on the block or or something worse like Angela.

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Like like there's there are scenarios that are very, very bad for Chelsea because of Quinn and

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Leah. They're the only people that would do that. And I really think that that trio,

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_02]: while dangerous in the very, very long term.

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Is very good for Chelsea specifically, it's not good for MJ,

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_02]: it's not good for Cam, it's not good for anybody else other than T-Core that those four people.

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_02]: There's nine people left in the game, four people, not a bad space to be,

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_02]: especially because they haven't been the best at competition so far as we just saw.

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's not even likely that that trio will remain anyway.

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_02]: You're probably looking at Cam MJ winning at least a few of those competitions and whittling down

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_02]: some of that trio for you while maintaining the safety that trio gives you. And so I think

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I do think it's a dual benefit. One is that I do think keeping the trio is good for Chelsea

[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_02]: actively. The other is, I think taking Quinn or Leah, but probably Quinn out is actively good

[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_02]: for her as well. I understand that people might disagree with the trio side of it,

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_02]: but I still think that taking Quinn out is actively good for her regardless.

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, that's all I feel. I feel like this is a little too

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_02]: weak of a move. I think that we need to be a little bolder here at the final nine.

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. I think honestly, though, she's in a spot where she can't go wrong. Like she's fine.

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_03]: She'd be fine either way. And I just want to be very clear because a lot of people are saying,

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_03]: oh no, but why would it be Quinn over Leah? It should be Leah over Quinn, blah, blah, blah.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Listen, I don't care that much between the two of them. They're both big threats to Chelsea.

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_03]: The reason why I say Quinn is because I am thinking of how I would want the jury to be

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_03]: stacked. And I think Quinn would be a really good presence to be the first juror and kind of set

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_03]: the tone for jury house. That's my reason why it would be him over Leah.

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I would say Quinn because he currently has a slightly better track record in competitions,

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_02]: theoretically is going to perform better in physical competitions, which you always have

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_02]: to be worried about. In addition to that, Quinn has a better relationship with the trio than Leah

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_02]: does. The trio is pretty out on Leah. Granted, they're out on Quinn as well. But in terms of

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Quinn might do, Quinn could pull a fast one and not target the trio and target you instead.

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Whereas I think Chelsea is a little, or I think Leah is a little more likely to still be worried

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_02]: about the trio long-term. So either way, I think either one of them could go. Quinn also just has

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_02]: right now a little more sway in the house. I think that could change because I do think Leah

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_02]: is a little more dangerous socially, especially if Quinn is gone. But I think Chelsea has one.

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_02]: All right. So somebody did ask in the chat earlier, what about MJ? I think if you're not

[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea, he knows the obvious choice for every single one of the four votes that are there on

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Kim for Quinn, Leah, Ham and MJ. He know is the very, very obvious choice. You vote chemo out.

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And luckily for them, they have those votes with or without Chelsea's permission.

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, would they do it without Chelsea's permission? Probably not.

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But Chelsea is currently not pushing back.

[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_03]: People have been doing a lot of stuff without permission this season,

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Taryn. I don't know if permission is as important.

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think that's Cam.

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's Cam. I love Cam so much.

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_02]: So MJ and Chelsea, they talk about this. They talk about the votes. MJ is looking at like

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_02]: next week. She feel this week is already over. Don't use the veto vote out. Next week,

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_02]: put up T-Core and Angela. Angela wins the veto. Maybe send T-Core home, according to MJ.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, boy. Angela wins the veto. OK, it's not impossible. It's not. It's more likely someone

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_03]: else would use the veto on Angela than she would win it just based on what we've seen so far.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_02]: But but even more likely, maybe we don't even do T-Core. Maybe then we backdoor Quinn.

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And so really like MJ is looking at Angela, Quinn or T-Core next week. Obviously,

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, one of those targets is a little more valuable than the other.

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_02]: But even getting Quinn out wouldn't be the worst for MJ at this point because it might give her

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_02]: better chance of winning more competitions. But you definitely have to be worried about keeping

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_02]: both T-Core and Chelsea in the game if you're MJ, because those are the two people that like

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_02]: for sure beat you in the final two. So, you know, either way, that's what MJ is talking about. And

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_02]: it's valuable that she's talking about this because she's still talking about backdooring

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Quinn, which is going to be important to Chelsea very soon. So Chelsea also talks to Cam and they

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_02]: also talk about getting rid of Kimo this week. Chelsea is still down. Cam thinks it's the move.

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_02]: They just need to make sure that Quinn and Leah are on board and because Chelsea does not want

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_02]: to break a tie. She there's no world where there's like three votes or worse, two votes. MJ and Cam

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_02]: get abandoned by Quinn and Leah. But she does not want to show her own cards and send Kimo out

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_02]: herself. I would assume that if it comes down to a tie, Chelsea would just evict Angela. And

[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I actually think that's again, I think that's the better play between the two. But that's where

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Chelsea stands. It's yeah, I feel like the game has reset several times this season and getting

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_03]: rid of Angela would be kind of another little reset because there's no easy obvious pawn to put

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_03]: up, which is kind of fun. But Chelsea, I've seen a lot of people on Twitter saying like, oh,

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Chelsea only plays when she's not HOH. She's not playing Big Brothers. Like no, like

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_03]: it's obviously very intentional that when Chelsea has power, she wants it to like feel calm and not

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_03]: chaotic, which is very powerful. It's not that she's not playing. It's that she's playing

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_01]: intentionally. Yeah, well, they talk about MJ and how they feel pretty good about her.

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_02]: The biggest Kim's biggest concern is that MJ might want to eventually go with Quinn and Leah,

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_02]: which. Quite frankly, should I think she beats them both? I mean, because again, like if you're

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_02]: MJ, she kind of has like her pick of the litter. Like who does she want to go to the end with?

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Because everyone wants to be working with MJ right now. And she's proving herself to be pretty

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_02]: effective in competitions. She's building a resume for herself. So if you're MJ,

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, you don't want to like jump in all on board with Quinn and Leah right now. That's not

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_02]: the plan. She doesn't want to go to the final three with Quinn and Leah. But getting to the

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_02]: end with at least one of them and maybe like a final two spot wouldn't be the worst thing.

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_02]: The trio is a little dangerous because they have two built in votes. You know, T-Core being the

[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_02]: most dangerous there for the final two. Chelsea is super, super dangerous for actual actual final

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_02]: two in the game right now is with Chelsea. And she, I think definitely loses to Chelsea. So she

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_02]: definitely wants to avoid that. Even Cam, I think is a little dangerous for her in a final two

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_02]: scenario. I think that could be a little bit up in the air between the two of them, which leaves

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_02]: obviously when Leah and Angela as her best bets as final two people. So I think Cam is right to

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_02]: be worried that she might be looking in that direction. But as of right now, it doesn't

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_02]: seem like she actively is. And that's what Chelsea says. She says, well, I'm not really

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_02]: that concerned about her going in that direction because she's still talking about backdoor and

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Quinn as early as next week. So I think that she's with us. And I mean, there's no evidence that

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_03]: she wouldn't be. I'm having like even a little bit of information is very interesting and exciting,

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_03]: probably for her, too. But I guess she probably thought she had information this whole time.

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, Chelsea says the current hit list essentially in terms of priority will do chemo.

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Then she's looking at Leah. Then she's looking at Quinn. Then Angela making a final five of

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_02]: herself. And MJ, T-Core, Rubina, at which point the goal is to get the three of herself and T-Core

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_02]: to the final three. Now, obviously, the idea to bring T-Core to the final three with the two of

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_02]: them is not ideal for the two of them because T-Core probably beats the two of them at that point.

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Depending, depending, things could change. Complaints could impact how people view things.

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_02]: She's definitely one of the toughest people to beat. And if you have the choice between

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_02]: like T-Core and say Rubina to bring to the final three, probably bring Rubina.

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_02]: But this is sort of like a thing that they've been talking about for a little while. So

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_02]: it is sort of how they're viewing things. It's a terrible idea for Cam. And I will say this.

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I think Cam is the person most dedicated to this final three

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_02]: because I think that T-Core is a little more interested in bringing her own people. Chelsea

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_02]: is like hit or miss on T-Core at times. I think Cam is the one that's been pushing this final

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_02]: three the most. And I think it's the most losing scenario for Cam. I think he locks himself out

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_02]: of a win in that space. I think that he cannot beat T-Core or Chelsea. What do you think Cam's

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_02]: winning scenario is? I think Cam is very similar to MJ, but maybe slightly elevated depending on

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_02]: where things go. Because I think that Cam would have like against MJ, he might have like Chelsea.

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Actually, I mean, it depends. It depends on how he treats Chelsea. But he might have...

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It's really actually depends on T-Core. If T-Core decides to go with Cam, I think Cam wins against

[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_02]: MJ. If she decides to go with MJ, MJ wins against Cam. But either way, I think that he has a great

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_02]: chance to beat Quinn or Leah or Angela at the moment. And then still a chance to beat Kimo

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_02]: or Rubina as well, depending on how things go there. I think that... And I think MJ does also.

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just that against Kimo or Rubina, you have to worry about T-Core being influential on the jury

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_02]: with two locked in votes there. But I don't think... I think that right now the worst jury

[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_02]: people are... I mean, Angela's bottom tier. Can't win against anyone. Then Quinn and Leah

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_02]: are right now kind of like on the outs, looking a little... Looking not great. Leah losing

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Joseph was not great. And we'll see where her relationship with Angela stands.

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Leah probably has a slight edge over Quinn, I would say at this point, because Quinn's a

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_02]: guaranteed vote for Leah. Angela's ideally a vote for Leah. And she did get some respect from the

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_02]: jury vote in the previous week. But it depends again on how competitions play out. I do think

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Leah beats Quinn in a jury vote. And then you have Rubina and Kimo where it's again, it's like

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_02]: they probably wouldn't win against most people, but it depends on how T-Core is able to influence

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_02]: things on the jury. Then you've got Cam and MJ who are in that fray. And then Chelsea and T-Core

[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_03]: at the top. I still... I don't know why, but just in my heart, I think Angela has better chances than

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_03]: what gets discussed. I just feel like her speeches are good and she could maybe guilt trip people

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_03]: into voting for her, but it's not relevant right now anyway, so we don't have to go there.

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's the idea from Chelsea. Cam says, and I thought this was very fun. This is very

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_02]: interesting to me. Cam says the smartest thing you and Brooklyn did in this game was get close

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_02]: to MJ. And Chelsea's like, oh yeah, I mean, I didn't even do it intentionally really. It just

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_02]: kind of happened naturally. And it was like, this was our exact analysis at the time was that this

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_02]: is the best thing they have in the game, but they're not doing it intentionally and they're

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_02]: not taking advantage of it as they should. And if Chelsea had recognized the value of MJ

[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_02]: like a month ago or more or whatever, the Pentagon probably never breaks up. The collective is

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_02]: probably fine. She's able to keep that structure in place even with Quinn acting a fool and

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_02]: everything is going to be okay and she doesn't have to do all this stuff she's doing. But

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_02]: either way, she recognizes the value now and they're in a much better position.

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And you know what? Sometimes people are better at big brother on accident than others are on purpose

[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_02]: and that's just the way it is. Okay. So Angela, she's starting to spiral. She lost the veto

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_02]: and now she's looking at the votes, right? There's six votes and Quinn is one of them.

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And she's up against chemo, which means T-Core and Rubina are obviously voting to keep chemo.

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Quinn's obviously voting against her in her mind. That means she already locked up has three votes

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_02]: against her. She feels like she's going home, rightfully so. I think like if Quinn is against her,

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_02]: why would Chelsea break the tie to keep her, especially after their conversation the other day?

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Why would she ruin her relationship with the trio? And all it would take is one of Leah,

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Ham or MJ to flip on her and it wouldn't even be in Chelsea's hands at all.

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_02]: She tries to talk to Leah about this and Leah's... She tries to calm her down. She tries to be like,

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_02]: listen, we don't know that it's over yet. Don't worry about it. But that is not going to work.

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Angela is going to spend the rest of the day slash night kind of in a spiral mode,

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_02]: kind of trying to trying to eavesdrop on people and spy and like, you know, doing her Angela thing.

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes. And to be noted for all of the evening's events, they did get alcohol last night because,

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_03]: well, OTEV was over in one round. So they're going to need some content

[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_03]: to fill the rest of the Wednesday episode with.

[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_02]: There is also a little visionaries meeting that happens when Kimo and T-Core, what a throwback.

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of awkward. It's kind of an awkward meeting. It's like, hey, can we still work

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_02]: together? Like, like, yeah, yeah, of course. And you know, hey, is Kimo good? Yeah.

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's fine. He's good. And you know, yeah. Like how are you feeling? You know,

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm feeling fine. I mean, Chelsea told me I'm good, but I'm always I'm always nervous.

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm always nervous. You know, Quinn doing his Quinn voice and and then like it's it's awkward

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_02]: because like the topic quickly changes, like Quinn starts talking about the OTEV competition.

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And then they they just they get off of strategy talk fairly quickly.

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And the vibe is just it's just off. Yes. It's just not right. It's not how it used to be.

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_02]: So as Kirsten mentioned, they get some alcohol. They start playing some games.

[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, you know, various various games like the what was it? Kiss kiss. Mary. It was a kiss.

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Mary of Vick. They played truth or dare. Very slumber party vibes. Yes. And this is this gets

[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_02]: into some drama because there's a lot of kiss talk. You know, Leah said that she would marry

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Quinn. Oh, boy. Like, OK, I just I feel like we need to break down a little bit how these sorts

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_03]: of games work, obviously, you know, on our JP historically, it's always been ding Mary kill.

[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_03]: There's lots of versions of this game. When you say who you're going to marry,

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_03]: it's like who you like but are not interested in because the person you're interested in,

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_03]: you're going to kiss or ding or whatever, like Mary. It's like, I just think you're not going

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_03]: to kill. I feel like in general, if you're playing these games, it's just who you

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_03]: wouldn't kill slash a victim. But it's not who you're like excited about.

[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Probably, I think it depends on it depends on your options. Right? Yes. Like if you have a plethora

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_02]: of options, then it's like in this in this scenario, the kiss is like the person that I

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_02]: that I would want to temporarily, you know, engage with, whereas the Mary might be like a more

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_02]: long term person that I really like and also happy to be with. It also gets it because people play in

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_03]: different ways. I feel like sometimes you talk about like, oh, well, but the person you marry,

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_03]: you don't like people would be like, oh, like, I'll pick Mary because this is the person I'd

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_03]: want to kiss for the rest of my life. But like sometimes in the rules of the game, it's like,

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_03]: no, no, no, you're marrying them. But that doesn't mean you get to kiss them.

[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, you have it depends on who you're playing with and what the and what the

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_03]: strange marriage it's. Well, I mean, if you look in the history of marriages,

[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_03]: there's been lots of marriages and it's OK. There's a lot, a lot to discuss, a lot to

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_03]: to believe in. They're not real marriages, so it's not consummated, you know?

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, either way, there was there was a lot of listen, this there's a lot about that.

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And but most dramatically, there was there's this big thing of like, OK,

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_02]: well, who's going to kiss Quinn? Who's going to do it? And there was this talk like, oh, Rubina.

[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you going to kiss Quinn? And she was like, I'm down there like

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Quinn was like, do you want me to be murdered by Tucker?

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, well, because Quinko run, but Tucker would always find him and he would kill him.

[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's like, OK, did we not play hide and go Vito? He's good at this.

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_02]: But Cam Cam was trying to talk them down. Cam was like the Cam was like Tucker's wingman last night

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_02]: because we'll talk about it later. But like Cam was trying to talk Rubina down. He was Cam was

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_02]: like the matchmaker. Cam was like the ultimate to be in a stand in the house. He was like the the

[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_02]: the shipper, the the ally to the shippers, because he was like, guys, come on, you don't want to do

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_02]: this. Tucker's at home. You like Tucker. Stop pretending you don't like Tucker. And they did not

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_02]: kiss. So then it was like, oh, but Leah, what about Leah? And she's like, no. And and that is

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_03]: why the correct choice is that you should be marrying Cam if you're someone who is choosing

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_02]: between the men. Cam is the marriage material. So the reason why Cam was talking to Rubina about

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Tucker is because she was you know, when Tucker was in the game, we would often have Rubina

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_02]: worrying about Tucker and her relationship with him. And now that she's got a couple of

[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_02]: drinks in her and I think there was even a little bit before that. But like,

[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_02]: she's thinking about Tucker and thinking about how he's out of the house. Yeah,

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_02]: might be. He might he might be doing some things. Who knows? She doesn't know.

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And so as Cam kind of puts it, she's trying to sort of guard herself against the

[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_02]: potential reality of coming out of the house to not being with Tucker by being like, yeah,

[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_02]: it's not like we're in a relationship. It would be fine if he did it, I guess.

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And she's worried and all this stuff. And Cam is trying to, again, talk to her like, Tucker liked

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_02]: you. Stop it. Like, you're going to be a thing outside this house. He's out there waiting for

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_02]: you. And and so, you know, there's there was a bunch of that as well. Yeah. And I think it's also

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_03]: obviously I don't know what Tucker's extracurricular activities are outside of the house.

[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I can't speak to that. But it's also like, I think it would be probably fine even if he was.

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_03]: And then they started dating when Rubina got like these are adult people who can move in adult ways

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_03]: in the world and communicate on their own and figure out what they want to do for their

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_03]: relationship. Like. I it's fine, they're grown, they can kiss whoever they want.

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Again, they're not in a committed relationship, they can kiss whoever they want.

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, there's some more drama, a little bit more game related, because Rubina had been

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_02]: talking to T-Core and had mentioned to her that, oh, we're your shields. Like, we get we get this.

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_02]: We understand this right before like Kimo and I were basically your shields in this game.

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_02]: And T-Core didn't like this being said. She ends up eventually getting really upset about this

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_02]: and kind of starts crying a little bit. And she's like, just Rubina, I don't I don't want you to

[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_02]: feel that way. I don't I don't look at you as a shield in this game like you're my friend.

[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And and, you know, maybe maybe without the drinks, this would have been a different conversation.

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it would have been like, you know, that's fine. Like if that's what you want.

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_02]: But maybe with the drinks, a little bit of a different conversation.

[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_03]: A couple of drinks changes everything.

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. T-Core. I've been on the block twice. You haven't at all. It's inevitable.

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not mad about it. Who are your shields? Come on.

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_01]: He was like, no, that's not how it is. You're my friends. You need to believe me.

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_01]: You need to believe me. This is not this is not what it is.

[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Rubina's like, T-Core, you got to meet me at least halfway. Whether you intended it or not,

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I am a shield for you. I'm again, I'm not mad about it. I'm not not accusing you of anything.

[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_02]: But come on, you get all the least you could do is admit it. Like, come on.

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_02]: But T-Core does not want to. And Rubina continues. Look, I don't mind. I wouldn't be upset

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_02]: even if it was intentional and you were taking advantage of it. I don't care. I'm I'm your friend.

[00:37:59] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I care about. And I want to support a cause that is bigger than me.

[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Because I what do you mean? Like, you know what I mean?

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, worth noting, this is something that Rubina has talked about before that that she suspects,

[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, probably because T-Core. Has kind of talked about it a little bit, but like suspects

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_02]: that T-Core, Pam and Chelsea may be working together in some capacity to to get to the end

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_02]: to protect each other. And she's totally fine with it, in fact, wants to support it.

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_02]: But I think also a little bit just wants. T-Core to admit that she's a little bit of a shield.

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And she says, listen, if I'm able to walk away from this experience with us as friends and have

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_02]: a relationship with Tucker like that's that's cool with me. That's I'm really happy about that.

[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And T-Core is like, well, same minus the Tucker thing.

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm just confused. I'm just I'm just I'm just upset about this whole situation.

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Rubina's like, it's OK. That's that's fine. Sometimes I'm just too real.

[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And T-Core's like, no, I want you to be real. Like, that's fine. It's fine.

[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes I'm just too real. Me too. She's just like me. It's so like I mean, Rubina's right.

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_03]: But I also feel I don't think that T-Core set out intentionally to make her friends shields for her.

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_03]: It's I think just a happy side effect. And so I understand why she doesn't want to be like,

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah, you're my shield. You don't want to be saying that to your friends.

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, it was an interesting conversation because like basically what Rubina is saying is

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_02]: that like, I'm happy. I'm happy to be your shield. And T-Core is like, well, you're not my shield.

[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's like, I also think then there's like the criticism of, oh, well, why does Rubina

[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_03]: like feel happy to be a shield? It's like. Can you imagine that just because she says that it

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_03]: might not 100 percent be what she means like you actually don't have to be 100 percent honest in

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Big Brother outside that might be news to some people. Yeah, I don't know if it's 100 percent,

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_02]: but I think she is fine with it. I think to a certain extent. Yeah. And like and I don't think

[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_02]: the like the you know, I think that largely this is just, you know, she very clearly cares about

[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_02]: her relationship with Tucker. She very clearly cares about her relationship with T-Core and Kimo.

[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And that I think genuinely is the bigger priority for her in the game at this point.

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think that the reason she because like strategically, it doesn't make sense for her to

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_02]: say this right. Like this, she's saying this because she cares about the friendship and

[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_02]: because she cares about the friendship, she wants T-Core to know like this isn't a situation where

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_02]: you're snowing me and I don't know what's happening. Like. Whether you're doing this

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_02]: intentionally or not, I understand that I'm your shield. I'm giving you permission to use me as a

[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_02]: shield because I don't want this to be an issue in our friendship. And so when T-Core says, what?

[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_02]: That's not what's happening at all. Rubin is like, come on. Like, I just want us to acknowledge that

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_02]: this is happening because I don't care that you're doing it. I just want us to be on the same page

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_02]: because I care about our friendship. I think that's where Rubina was coming from.

[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that T-Core, I can definitely buy that she's not intentionally doing this and doesn't

[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_02]: really see it this way. But I think that she probably struggled to change her perspective

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_03]: to see it from Rubina's side of things in this conversation. And I do think that the age

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_03]: difference between Rubina and T-Core gets highlighted through this type of conversation

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_03]: because just by the fact of being a little bit older, Rubina has more life experience and has

[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_03]: seen more kinds of relationships and maybe can parse out the social bits a little bit more.

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's fine. There's nothing wrong with that. It doesn't say anything about either of them

[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_03]: as people. And I think they're going to leave the game and be friends and everything's going

[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_02]: to be fine. All right. So back to the Quinn and Leah situation, because again, Leah said

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_01]: she'd marry Quinn. Oh, OK. Hold on. Well, the. No, not the Wahoo.

[00:42:58] [SPEAKER_01]: But Quinn has another question for Leah. He's.

[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, he needs to consider the proposal. He says Leah, Leah. So obviously you said no to kissing me.

[00:43:13] [SPEAKER_02]: That's chill. I'm mad about it. But like, did you say no to kissing me because you didn't want to

[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_02]: or because of strategy? And Leah says probably the second one. And let me tell you, Quinn's face.

[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, OK. Was literally this.

[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Again. That doesn't mean that that's why she didn't kiss him

[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_03]: like people are like people are taking this as like Leah confessed she has a crush on Quinn.

[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_03]: She wanted to kiss him, but she didn't because it's like, oh, my God, is it like

[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_03]: the Corey America showman is like a once in a generation type of thing that doesn't typically

[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_03]: happen. And so I think we got to be you had to be prepared that that's not going to happen again and.

[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Again. Leah is not going to say to his face, oh, it's because I didn't want to and make him feel

[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_03]: bad about their relationship and then possibly hurt their strategic partnership moving forward.

[00:44:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Come on. Relevant to this discussion, perhaps, is that she had a conversation and again,

[00:44:40] [SPEAKER_02]: the drinks were fun, but also she had a conversation with Kimo a little bit earlier

[00:44:45] [SPEAKER_02]: talking about, you know. Guys in the house, it seemed as though she was talking about like Cedric

[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_02]: would be a person that she would be mildly interested in, perhaps. But like but what she

[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_02]: was saying was that like, you know, it's also maybe I've just been in here for a while and

[00:45:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I've had limited options and I'm feeling a certain way. And and once I get out of the house and I have

[00:45:22] [SPEAKER_02]: a lot more options, I probably won't be looking at people in the same way. So I think that's

[00:45:27] [SPEAKER_02]: listen, I think it's very reasonable to assume that she might be just honest in this moment.

[00:45:33] [SPEAKER_02]: She was feeling some drinks. Maybe she did want to kiss Quinn in that moment. I don't know.

[00:45:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, yeah, obviously we can't get in their heads, but obviously like if that was how she

[00:45:43] [SPEAKER_03]: felt, I think a kiss would have meant something very different for Leah than it would have for

[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Quinn. I would assume so. Yeah. Yes. I would I would I would assume that that is probably the

[00:45:53] [SPEAKER_02]: case as well. But either way, it was very funny. And one there just is so funny because then

[00:46:04] [SPEAKER_03]: they're talking and it's like, oh, it's like we're in the house with a bunch of 12 year olds

[00:46:10] [SPEAKER_03]: who don't want to say anything. And then Leah's like but then the question again, but you want

[00:46:14] [SPEAKER_03]: to be like a 12 year old and he's like and then you're like this like, oh, I don't want to say

[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_03]: like what I do not. I don't typically watch Quinn and Leah on the feed if I've if I've got a

[00:46:27] [SPEAKER_03]: choice, but. Like when they're together, like I'm fine, I'm fine watching them separately,

[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't love their one on one conversations because it's very cringe for me, like

[00:46:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Quinn is cringe and he is free and I love that for him, but I still have an aversion to secondhand

[00:46:43] [SPEAKER_03]: cringe. And so I just am always I'm always taken aback by the way they like hit each other with

[00:46:49] [SPEAKER_03]: the pillows and are like giggly and all of that. It's it's just a bit much for me personally.

[00:47:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes. Well, I mean, that is again, it's it's worth noting, especially if it's not something that you

[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_02]: have been tracking, that they're I mean, they're the current status of their relationship is

[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_02]: considerably better than it has been all season. That since especially the eviction last week,

[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, since Quinn won HOH last week and then coming into this eviction and into this week,

[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I was predicting that if there was a renom, it would be between Quinn and Leah, which it likely

[00:47:31] [SPEAKER_02]: would have been. And that at that point, Leah would throw Quinn under the bus because why wouldn't she?

[00:47:36] [SPEAKER_02]: However, as of right now, there's no threat of a renom and they seem to have only gotten closer.

[00:47:44] [SPEAKER_02]: They spend a lot of time with each other. They are very giggly. The flirting is definitely

[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_02]: much more one sided, but it definitely still exists in some capacity and they are pretty

[00:47:59] [SPEAKER_02]: locked in game wise at the moment. So that is worth tracking on the strategic landscape of things.

[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_03]: And just like cannot give enough credit to Leah for the way that she went into the house saying

[00:48:14] [SPEAKER_03]: men are easy to manipulate and my plan is to manipulate men. And she has executed on that

[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_03]: with basically every man in the house at different points, like.

[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Good for her. I respect a queen that goes in with a theory, with a plan and executes on the plan.

[00:48:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I just don't like I'm not a flirty person. And so sometimes when like watching other people flirt,

[00:48:43] [SPEAKER_03]: it makes me uncomfortable. Like I have to go to therapy for that myself. That's not something

[00:48:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I can put on them. All right, well, Decor, chemo and Rubina talk late into the night as they do.

[00:49:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And T-Core brings up the awkward Quinn conversation. She did not get good vibes from it.

[00:49:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Quinn did not seem very reassuring about chemo staying, and it's making her a little paranoid.

[00:49:13] [SPEAKER_02]: She's a little concerned that if they do not have Quinn's vote for chemo to stay,

[00:49:20] [SPEAKER_02]: does that mean they don't have the votes for chemo to stay?

[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So he's come up with a plan. She would like to try to pitch to Chelsea and by extension MJ

[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_02]: that they should all work together and they should use the veto and backdoor Quinn this week, which

[00:49:43] [SPEAKER_02]: is what I think Chelsea should do. It's not what I think MJ should do, but MJ has already shown

[00:49:49] [SPEAKER_02]: in the past that she will do what Chelsea is able to convince her to do, whether it is in

[00:49:54] [SPEAKER_02]: her interest or not. So there's certainly a chance of this working. And MJ has talked about specifically

[00:50:00] [SPEAKER_02]: backdooring Quinn as early as next week. So it's not like it's out of the realm of possibility in

[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_02]: her mind. So they would like to do this. They need to talk to Chelsea. They need to talk to

[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_02]: some people and see if they can make this pitch happen, get this week rolling in a different

[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_02]: direction. And of course, when T-Core says she wants to talk to somebody, we all know it definitely

[00:50:23] [SPEAKER_02]: happens very quickly. In fact, we all know that so well that even Rubina knows that because Rubina

[00:50:29] [SPEAKER_02]: says to T-Core, we have to actually do this tomorrow because T-Core you say that we're

[00:50:35] [SPEAKER_02]: going to do things all the time and you don't actually do them. So let's make sure we actually

[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_03]: do it this time because they should be doing this. So true facts.

[00:50:46] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is basically the Hail Mary play here. The vote is currently on Kimo. MJ currently plans to

[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_02]: not use the veto. So Kimo would likely leave this week if nothing else changed. Now, that doesn't

[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_02]: mean things won't change or can't change. I'm sure this vote could go back and forth, especially with

[00:51:04] [SPEAKER_02]: the influence that T-Core can sometimes have in the game. However, he's trying to take an early

[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_02]: play here and propose what is a very good plan for both her and Chelsea by taking out Quinn this

[00:51:17] [SPEAKER_02]: week. Now, I do think her proposal is going to be Quinn, despite the fact that Chelsea already said

[00:51:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Leah was her preferred option to go up on the block as a renom. Now, maybe it's because when

[00:51:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Chelsea talked to T-Core about it, she mentioned that she was concerned that Leah wouldn't actually

[00:51:35] [SPEAKER_02]: go home if she put her on the block. And so there's some worry that Chelsea would be hesitant

[00:51:42] [SPEAKER_02]: to do Leah if she didn't have to. But T-Core thinks that Quinn is the easier target to get on the

[00:51:49] [SPEAKER_02]: block, which may or may not be true at this point. I think Chelsea again would be much more inclined

[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_02]: to do Leah right now. But I think in T-Core's mind, because Quinn is the better target,

[00:52:01] [SPEAKER_02]: the easier person to actually take out, that would be easier for her to pitch. Again, I think Quinn

[00:52:07] [SPEAKER_02]: is the better target also, but Leah might be the easier person to convince Chelsea to put up on

[00:52:13] [SPEAKER_02]: the block. We'll see. We'll see if anything even comes of this at all, if T-Core actually follows

[00:52:19] [SPEAKER_02]: through with this, and then we'll see if it has any grounds. Because again, I think it's a good plan

[00:52:25] [SPEAKER_02]: for Chelsea, not a good one for MJ. But Chelsea has shown some reluctance to do this. She wants

[00:52:31] [SPEAKER_02]: to play it a little safer this week. And it's obviously not in MJ's interest at all. So we'll

[00:52:39] [SPEAKER_03]: see. All we can do is wait and see. I think Chelsea's fine no matter what happens this week.

[00:52:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I think regardless if you want to argue if her nominations were the 100% correct ones or not,

[00:52:53] [SPEAKER_03]: whatever, she's in a great spot. I don't think anything could happen this week that would really

[00:52:59] [SPEAKER_02]: tank her. She's fine. Okay. So anything else, Kirsten, to talk about from yesterday?

[00:53:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, can I get on like a soapbox for like one minute? Please. I'm so mad at Big Brother

[00:53:16] [SPEAKER_03]: production. Once again, they put these fish in the house and they're real fish and they're real

[00:53:23] [SPEAKER_03]: animals. And they use them like their furniture and leave it up to the house guests to take care

[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_03]: of them. And since Tucker's been gone, who was the only one who actually cared about the fish,

[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_03]: fish have been dying. They were dying when Tucker was there too.

[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, yeah, but he was doing his like he was at least trying. Right. And so it feels like now

[00:53:42] [SPEAKER_03]: nobody cares enough to try to save the fish and production should be stepping in to feed the fish

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_03]: and take care of them because they're real animals. And I just don't think it's cute that

[00:53:53] [SPEAKER_03]: they use them as decor and don't respect them as actual lives. And I like it was they were talking

[00:53:58] [SPEAKER_03]: about it yesterday. Like, I guess it was probably Saturday night that they were talking about it.

[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_03]: And like, oh, that fish is like on its side. And is it alive or is it not? And I was just like.

[00:54:10] [SPEAKER_03]: It's it's really messed up. And I wish that production would not use. Animals as decor

[00:54:19] [SPEAKER_03]: anymore. Like it's like I get, oh, it's so cute. They're in the fishbowl. We're watching them in

[00:54:23] [SPEAKER_03]: a fishbowl and there's a fishbowl. No, like they're animals and they're alive animals.

[00:54:28] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like they enough. It's like it's animal cruelty at this point.

[00:54:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I will go send that if you're going to have fish, make sure you're taking care of them. Make

[00:54:38] [SPEAKER_02]: sure they're not dying, I think is a pretty reasonable request. Yeah. OK, sorry. Well,

[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_02]: that is what we have for you then today. I will be back tomorrow morning. Eleven

[00:54:51] [SPEAKER_02]: AM Eastern time that you have that happens today on the Big Brother 26 live feeds,

[00:54:54] [SPEAKER_02]: if DQ follows through on this pitch to try to change up this week and get Quinn

[00:55:00] [SPEAKER_02]: back door. So stay tuned for that. Of course, tonight there will be an episode

[00:55:05] [SPEAKER_02]: where we will hopefully get to see a little bit more of what happened on Thursday, Thursday night

[00:55:11] [SPEAKER_02]: and and then we'll get the rest of the stuff from this week so far to the nominations.

[00:55:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I will be live on Twitch watching the episode tonight. So tune in that and then after the

[00:55:24] [SPEAKER_02]: episode, we'll be here talking through it all on the podcast. So that is what we have for you.
