[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_08]: Hello everyone and welcome to RHAP.
[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm your host Taran Armstrong and we are here tonight to talk about this late Sunday night episode of Big Brother 26.
[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Where we saw Janky come to town.
[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_08]: And it was full of happiness and pizza and ice cream and what a time it was.
[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_08]: And we're here to recap this episode.
[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_08]: And with me to recap this episode, it's Scali.
[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_07]: How are you doing Scali?
[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Hey, hey, Taran. I'm so glad to be out here to talk about this episode.
[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Out in the open. None of these whispers.
[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm so glad to do everything out in front with everybody.
[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, you know, we did.
[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_08]: In fact, you can see behind Scali that there's what appears to be a window.
[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_08]: But don't worry, we've locked it down.
[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_08]: He cannot escape. So he is he is good and locked up.
[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_08]: Also with us to talk through Janky World.
[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_08]: It's Asia. How are you doing Asia?
[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Hello. I am so happy to be here talking about Janky World.
[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm coming to you live from the state that's below Blocklahoma.
[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, it's just like it's always so funny.
[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, wait, I got to watch the recap because I don't know what he's about to say.
[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_03]: And sure enough, Blocklahoma clever.
[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. What was it? Daddy Longhair?
[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, that was a blind side.
[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Definitely the most shocking thing to happen this episode.
[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, boy. Same.
[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, tonight was the night we were introduced to Janky.
[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_08]: And there's really only one question on my mind for you to.
[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Are you having the best time ever at Janky World?
[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely. Absolutely.
[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_03]: OK, look, I'm not going to lie to you, even knowing that this was coming through the feeds.
[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Right. Obviously, I got a good laugh out of the way that they set them up for this,
[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_03]: the way that it was just like, oh, you like you like pizza, you like ice cream,
[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_03]: you like all this stuff and just watching the thing close
[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_03]: and just the reality setting in like, oh, my no, I don't like pizza and ice cream like that.
[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_03]: I was I was audibly laughing.
[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_08]: I do think I think that the best part of Janky World was the beginning of Janky World
[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_08]: and the end when they were slow mo dancing.
[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_08]: I thought that those were the best two parts.
[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_08]: Everything in the middle was kind of math for me,
[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_08]: but but I'm also biased against it because it's excruciating on the feeds.
[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_07]: That's the thing.
[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_07]: Like the shock factor, them all freaking out.
[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_07]: That's F you and fun.
[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_07]: That is all good. It is what it takes away.
[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_07]: That is like I'm still missing that.
[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. OK, well, before we even got to Janky World,
[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_08]: we came back from the eviction where Leah and Angela had been blindsided by the Quinn eviction.
[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Angela just wanted to know, just wanted to I voted against him twice now.
[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_08]: I didn't want to.
[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_08]: Why do you keep doing this to me?
[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_08]: And Chelsea's like, chill,
[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_08]: don't vote against don't vote against chemo if you don't want chemo to go.
[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_08]: Like, why is this on me? It's like Chelsea, because you're the one that blindsided her twice.
[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_07]: It's so funny for Chelsea to be like, same song.
[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm not doing this again. Let's move this along.
[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_07]: I've heard this before, Angela. Go out of the room.
[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Keep saying this. You keep saying this same story different week.
[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_03]: But now he's going to hate me. He's going to hate me.
[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_08]: And there's all this drama. Leah's swearing revenge.
[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_08]: You know, if they think they're going to take out my allies, just wait,
[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_08]: just wait till I show them by not nominating any of them.
[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_08]: Just wait.
[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm going to get them back by protecting them on my train.
[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, you know, just wait, I'm going to nominate your allies.
[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Like is the structure of the game and was probably always going to happen
[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_07]: at some point or another.
[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I just I don't I I don't know how to take Angela anymore.
[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, is this a bit like is she doing this to just be like funny?
[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, he's going to hate me.
[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm so sad.
[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_07]: It's a bit deeper going
[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_05]: like no, no messing around.
[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_08]: Give her the Emmy.
[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Like, no, no, no messing around.
[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_08]: You know, it's got to be a guarantee.
[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_08]: No more messing around and making people hate me.
[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_02]: He's going to hate me.
[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, the only way is comical
[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_03]: is if you're just like she's in on the joke.
[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, yes, she gets into it with Chelsea,
[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_08]: then she gets into it with T Corp, Kimo Rubina, because she hears them whispering.
[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't they dare whisper?
[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_07]: No, this is so funny.
[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_07]: It's like just perfectly Angela that they're whispering over like,
[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_07]: oh, it's like kind of sad that Quinn's gone.
[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_07]: But like, what are we going to do?
[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Like whatever.
[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_07]: And it's like, I hear you talking about me, everybody.
[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_07]: I know this is about me.
[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm sorry that I voted you. OK.
[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_08]: It's not even my fault.
[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_08]: I did. I was just trying to play the game and I thought what's where the votes were.
[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, you're talking about it.
[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm thinking about it like, no.
[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_03]: And then, yes, Kimo, give her nothing.
[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Because she's just going and going.
[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not like he's trying to like, oh, no, like he wasn't even trying to argue.
[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_03]: He wasn't trying to do anything and she just kept it like you would.
[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_03]: You could have filled in any response from him.
[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_08]: He's like, I appreciate that you're open about that.
[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I know what I'm saying is that I did it.
[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. And it's not even like he's going full out like Angela.
[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_07]: Don't worry about it.
[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Like, I totally want to work with you.
[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_07]: I think it's just like, yeah, OK, Angela.
[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Thanks, Angela. Bye. Moving along.
[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, boy. There's just there's no patience for Angela
[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_08]: because they all just have completely discounted her from winning any competition.
[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_08]: And then wouldn't you know it?
[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_03]: It's surreal because obviously it's been what's 60 days almost at this point.
[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_03]: And Angela hasn't I mean, she hasn't changed.
[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_03]: She's a she's the they can everything that is happening with Angela.
[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_03]: They can expect at this point.
[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And so it's kind of like.
[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_03]: When I if I think about, OK, if she makes it to the end,
[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_03]: are they still like it like she's pleading her case about why she's like
[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_03]: she made it that far despite everything else that happened?
[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Are they now listening to her or is it still like it's just Angela?
[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. This is Lisa.
[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Wipe that stupid smirk off your face.
[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_07]: You're so unpredictable that that becomes the new standard
[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_07]: and it is now predictable.
[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Like, do you then have to start giving it credit?
[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_07]: Like, is this on purpose?
[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, Karen, after after the season,
[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_03]: when you're doing the sound bite tournament, it's all Angela. Right.
[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, listen, I'm feeling dealing over here, ladies and gents.
[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_06]: I got to do what I got to do.
[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_08]: See, ladies and gents.
[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_07]: The Angeles soundboard is pages two, three, four or five.
[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_07]: Like it's endless.
[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't forget the two gents left in the house.
[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, we get to the age of age competition.
[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_08]: And I just want to get this out of the way because.
[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_08]: This it sucks that this was not on the feeds.
[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, this is like a nine hour competition that
[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_08]: we watched last season, the pressure cooker.
[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_08]: It was an epic experience to watch live.
[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_08]: It was really dramatic, full of really fun things.
[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_08]: And we were excited to watch the edited version of it
[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_08]: because it felt like there was so much content they could pull from.
[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_08]: And then it just kind of fell flat in the episode.
[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_08]: It was fine in the episode.
[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_08]: If you didn't know what you were missing,
[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_08]: you probably thought it was pretty good.
[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Um, but it really missed out on a lot of the really fun things
[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_08]: that were going on on the feeds.
[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_08]: And to know that this was a nine hour competition, that again,
[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_08]: the editing just didn't really for me translate that it was nine hours.
[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, like it just didn't feel like it was that long.
[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_08]: I've said before that, like, they don't care that the wall
[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_08]: comp lasts 20 minutes because what is significantly the difference
[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_08]: between watching the wall comp and watching this other than
[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_08]: you can see the sun coming up and there's a timer on the bottom of the screen
[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_08]: because I didn't really feel like there was a significant difference in the edit.
[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_08]: Um, and on top of that, it was just such an interesting results
[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_08]: that would have been really exciting to watch between the two underdogs,
[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_08]: Angela and Leah making it so far against probably the favorite Cam, uh,
[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_08]: to then Angela wheeling and dealing.
[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm wheeling and dealing over here, ladies and gents.
[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_06]: I gotta do what I got to do.
[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_08]: To the, to the deal made at the end of like, let's stand on one leg
[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_08]: to get this over with.
[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_08]: Can you imagine like at that point, everyone being like, get to the
[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_08]: square, get to the feeds as it's coming down to this, they're going to one leg.
[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Like this could have been a defining moment of this season on the feeds.
[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, it could have been an all time fun community experience for
[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_08]: everyone to sit and watch.
[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_08]: It really, really sucks that we did not have that opportunity.
[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, considering that, uh, there was really no reason for it to not be there.
[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Was it that they didn't want to reveal, um, janky world yet?
[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, they revealed it as soon as the feeds came back from the
[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_08]: comp, which was as soon as it ended.
[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_08]: Um, I assume like you could maybe say that like they didn't want
[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_08]: janky itself being on the thing.
[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, you could say that maybe they were worried about wall yellows, but
[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_08]: you know, they're clearly not worried about wall yellows.
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_08]: They're outside 24 seven right now.
[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_08]: Like anybody could wall yell this, this moment.
[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_08]: Um, so I really don't think there's a huge difference there.
[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_08]: Um, so like at the end of the day, they just, they didn't do it.
[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_08]: It sucks that they didn't do it, but at the same time, happy.
[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_08]: They brought this comp back to great comp.
[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it was good.
[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_07]: It was really frustrating, like going to bed and I was like, all
[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_07]: right, this, this H OH is taking a little bit.
[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_07]: I'll just wake up the next morning, waking up to see that it was still
[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_07]: going on, they were still doing the comp so incredibly frustrating to
[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_07]: know that what we had missed, but did I guess stick to the name?
[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_07]: It was janky.
[00:13:01] Yeah.
[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I laughed again when I, they had to set it up themselves.
[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, that's hilarious.
[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_03]: But it was, yeah.
[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_03]: How the way this would have been so entertaining to watch on the feeds.
[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, but yeah, even to just be able to experience things like Angela
[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_03]: saying, Oh, what if me and cam stepped down?
[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, when cam agreed to this?
[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Like she is that's what I'm saying.
[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_03]: It has to be a bit because there she just says things that you just
[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_03]: don't expect.
[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_03]: You would never expect somebody to throw in a completely random person,
[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_03]: not somebody that's not in your like somebody that you like have a final
[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_03]: two with somebody that you're working closely with.
[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_03]: No, let me just pick cam to say we're going to go down together.
[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_07]: It's Angela.
[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_07]: That was my favorite part.
[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_07]: Just like, okay, so I need to make this more enticing.
[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_07]: So I will also sacrifice cams life.
[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Don't worry about it.
[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_07]: And listen, I'm going to need it to be a guarantee.
[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_03]: It's got to be guaranteed.
[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, no, no messing around.
[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_03]: No messing around in this game of big brother.
[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, so, you know, it's it goes through all T-Core is out early.
[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_08]: Kemos out early.
[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_08]: Rubina lasts five hours and then wouldn't you know it?
[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_08]: T-Core distracts her.
[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_07]: That was so brutal.
[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_07]: It was like one minute after.
[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_07]: So, like, you know that it is not like a mistimed thing on the episode
[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_07]: that is edited as she is in the middle of answering T-Core's question.
[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_02]: T-Core literally said, don't pull a T-Core chemo.
[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_08]: Do you see?
[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_08]: Do you see chemo look at her after?
[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Basically, girl, don't pull me into this.
[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm still sad.
[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I just lost the H.O.H.
[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_08]: And then, yes, Angela tries to had tried to make a deal,
[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_08]: then does make a deal.
[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_08]: The three of us will not target each other no matter what.
[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Weirdly enough, this kind of deal doesn't happen that often.
[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_08]: You'd think it would considering how good it is for all.
[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Like, it's the kind of thing it's like it's like in poker
[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_08]: when you like agree to split the prize money.
[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_08]: But with the last like few people at the final table, it's just like,
[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_08]: why risk it?
[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_08]: Like, why risk all of our safety?
[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_08]: There's plenty of other people to nominate.
[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_08]: Why not just all agree that we're safe?
[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_08]: Would it stand most of the time?
[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_08]: Probably not, but it's certainly worth trying beyond like,
[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_08]: hey, you drop or I'll drop and you give me safety
[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_08]: or I give you safety.
[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_08]: Why not just like, let's just play it out, but we'll agree to keep each other safe
[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_08]: because we made it this far.
[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_08]: And the downside is that we can't nominate each other if we do win.
[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_08]: The plus side is we're safe if we lose and we still have the chance to win.
[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_08]: It's such a all it benefits everyone
[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_08]: unless you're really looking to target the person that you're up with.
[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_08]: You know, so I'm surprised we don't see it more often.
[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_08]: And look at Angela, wheeling and dealing.
[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_07]: Well, especially because Angela and Leah are both like very easy nominations.
[00:16:39] [SPEAKER_07]: If you are looking to not get your hands dirty,
[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_07]: you throw up Angela on that block and you would think,
[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Leah, even though it hasn't happened,
[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_07]: they feel like they would be easy nominations this week,
[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_07]: even though they're not the biggest threats necessarily at first glance.
[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_07]: But no, this deal helps them immensely.
[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's actually pretty smart because it's like, yeah,
[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_03]: even if like you said, Taryn, even if you want to turn on one of three,
[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_03]: at least it'd benefit you if you happen to lose, you know,
[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_03]: just in case everybody does decide to stay loyal to it.
[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's like, why not?
[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And so it could be something we start to see more moving forward,
[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_03]: even though it's not like this just like profound,
[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_03]: like, you know, thing that occurred.
[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_03]: But the fact that it's worked this time and people will see it
[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_03]: in future seasons to come like, oh, wait, let me think about that thing
[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_03]: that Angela did.
[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Oddly enough.
[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_08]: So then we get down to Kam and Leah after Angela bows out,
[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_08]: she said, I'm safe, whatever.
[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_08]: And Kam proposes that they do something else to break this.
[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_08]: They're going to be standing here forever.
[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_08]: And they agree to stand on one leg to make it go faster.
[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_08]: Chelsea gets pissed at this.
[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, she's like, this is exactly what I was talking about
[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_08]: when I said that Kam was going to pick Leah over me.
[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Huh? What?
[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_07]: I knew we would end up in janky world and Kam would stand on one leg.
[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, exactly.
[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_03]: I saw this exact thing happening
[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_08]: I knew that he would think that he's better at standing on one leg than her
[00:18:39] [SPEAKER_08]: because he likes her more than me.
[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_08]: What?
[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if it was like maybe she thought, OK,
[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_03]: if they go to one leg, Leah is a chew in to beat him against that.
[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_03]: And so that's Kam basically handing it to her.
[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Like maybe she was just like severely doubting his balance
[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_08]: because I mean, he basically what he said was like, I play football.
[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_08]: I've practiced, you know, balance a ton.
[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_08]: I feel like I have an advantage here.
[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_08]: And turns out he didn't.
[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Leah had him beat.
[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_08]: But, you know, it's not the worst gamble to take in the world.
[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_08]: It's not like he was for sure beating her just standing.
[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_08]: They had both been standing there for 10 hours.
[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_08]: Like, yeah, it's not like he it's like he was about to win
[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_08]: and then blew it all in the final 10 minutes.
[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_08]: It's like he was trying to do anything other than stand there for another 10 hours.
[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Even the way he was holding his marshmallow,
[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_03]: the way his thing was bending made me nervous.
[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, it feels like at any moment, it's just kind of like fling off.
[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, how is this 30?
[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. You know, there it is.
[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_08]: Chelsea's mad at Kam.
[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_08]: But but Kam's fine.
[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_08]: He's like, you know what?
[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_08]: I made a deal, so I'm good.
[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_08]: And Leah has won this age.
[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, maybe and maybe the reality set in for her that like, OK,
[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_03]: they all saw that there those three are safe and maybe she's thinking like,
[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_03]: OK, Cam didn't throw me into that deal.
[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_03]: So now I'm one of the five that could go up.
[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. And I mean, rightfully so at that point.
[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, you know, at the end of the day, there's only so much you can do.
[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_08]: But yeah, it's it's certainly frustrating if you're sitting,
[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_08]: you know, on the sidelines watching people be safe.
[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. Three people safe with an eight person cast.
[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_08]: Is that's not great when there's at least two nominees.
[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_03]: What does she expect to do every those three pick a plus one?
[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Now six people are saying right.
[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. I mean, I guess there is the thought of if Cam
[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_07]: is in the final two of this competition with someone that he does not trust
[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_07]: as much as Leah, does he try a little harder?
[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_07]: Is he not as like, you know, risky, standing on one leg?
[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_07]: But I think all is the same in the end. Yeah.
[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_08]: So Leah wins. And again,
[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_08]: they thought they could take about my allies with no repercussions.
[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't think so.
[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_08]: It's time to get them back after I target the trio.
[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_07]: We put up two of the people who I guess were votes,
[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_07]: but their votes were kind of forced.
[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_07]: What was the nominee?
[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_08]: He has a conversation with Chelsea. She says this.
[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm trying to keep my enemies closer.
[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_09]: And since you didn't put me on the block last week,
[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_09]: I feel like she's willing to work with me and not against me.
[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_09]: So but let's be clear.
[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_08]: The reality is that Chelsea wanted to put Leah on the block
[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_08]: from the moment she became a came H.O.H. very nearly did initially,
[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_08]: very, very nearly did as the replacement nominee
[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_08]: instead put up Quinn because he was close to Leah, voted out, helped,
[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_08]: you know, orchestrate Quinn's vote out because he was close to Leah.
[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_08]: And she knows all of this.
[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_08]: Not maybe not all of it.
[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_08]: She knows most she knows she was an option to go up
[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_08]: and that Quinn just went up instead.
[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_08]: And yet I think she wants to work with me.
[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_07]: It's so questionable.
[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Like not even a mention of like, I need to go about this carefully
[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_07]: because I'm scared, like I need to make sure like a shot lands.
[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_07]: If I take one now just fully I want to work with Chelsea.
[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_07]: This is my now like tight ally.
[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Like what? Right.
[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_03]: The logic is not logic in because she didn't put a lot of people on the block
[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_03]: like Chelsea didn't pull out of people.
[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Like that doesn't mean that she's willing to work with everybody
[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_03]: who didn't hit the block.
[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_08]: Mm hmm. Yeah.
[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_08]: And I think kudos have to go to Chelsea because this really this
[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_08]: I think she made the right move last week, even though it was a little shaky
[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_08]: there here and there in terms of what she actually wanted out of that week.
[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_08]: But she made the right move last week.
[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_08]: Then she hit the absolute worst case scenario this week.
[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_08]: The one person out of two people, one of the two people
[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_08]: that couldn't win H.O.H. won H.O.H.
[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_08]: That's a rough draw.
[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_08]: And now she's in some trouble.
[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_08]: But the damage control that she did a few days prior
[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_08]: was effective enough to keep Leah off of her back
[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_08]: for these initial noms, at least.
[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_08]: And it's huge that the initial noms did not go against her
[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_08]: because now she has a lot more outs in the future,
[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_08]: depending on what happens with the veto.
[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_08]: So, you know, this this is the this is the kind of game winning stuff
[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_08]: that the good players go through, which is that like
[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_08]: bad scenario, but I'm able to survive it.
[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_08]: And once you get through it, it turns from a very bad scenario,
[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_08]: the thing that could have ended her game into the best possible thing
[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_08]: for her game instead of getting out.
[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_08]: She skyrockets in value because as she says herself,
[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_08]: Leah's going to do it for me.
[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_08]: Leah is going to take out the trio for me.
[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_08]: That's it. That's exactly what I wanted for Christmas.
[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_08]: That's all I get to take out her closest ally
[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_08]: and then take out her closest ally again.
[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_08]: And then she gets to take out somebody
[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_08]: that's a trio on the other side for me,
[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_08]: and then I get to take her out next week.
[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_08]: Like, that's so good for me.
[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_08]: Thank you so much.
[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it is.
[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_03]: As ever.
[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_07]: It's mind blowing.
[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, keeping the person who had less of a reason
[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_07]: to keep her safe this week, who had less of a relationship with her,
[00:25:15] [SPEAKER_07]: less of about everything in the house, but is still able to turn this into
[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_07]: a huge positive for her game.
[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's just like the best resume point that she could have.
[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Because do you credit this to her social game
[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_03]: or just her strategic abilities?
[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, I think that if we if we trace it back,
[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_08]: what Leah had said prior to winning this HOH
[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_08]: a few days prior to winning the HOH, she had said,
[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_08]: if I win HOH, I want to put up Chelsea and T Corp
[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_08]: because T Corp is the only person that Chelsea can sit up against
[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_08]: and go home because Chelsea is my target.
[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_08]: And she had like a two hour conversation with Chelsea
[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_08]: where they hashed things out a little bit.
[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_03]: This was on the floor in the bathroom, the floor in the bathroom.
[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_08]: And did that conversation mean anything?
[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_08]: No. But it was more than
[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_08]: you know, what a lot of the trio often does.
[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_08]: So I think you have to credit that conversation
[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_08]: by saying it did just enough to build just enough of a bridge
[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_08]: for Leah to feel like now that I'm in power,
[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't want to like I want to complete that bridge
[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_08]: instead of tearing it down.
[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_08]: And that, I think, is definitely the wrong move.
[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_08]: But but Chelsea gave her the the the tools
[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_08]: with which to sort of demolish herself.
[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_08]: And and she has done so.
[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_08]: And so I think I would say social game more than this was like
[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_08]: deliberately strategic.
[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_08]: But but you know, it's it's all it's all under the same pack.
[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. Like even though construction on the bridge
[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_07]: like was like brought to a halt, like the foundation does exist.
[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_07]: So there's like somewhere that we can start building.
[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_08]: It's it's more it's more like Leah.
[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_08]: Leah's had a bridge that she's been trying to build,
[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_08]: and Chelsea has demolished it twice,
[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_08]: really more than twice if we go further back.
[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_08]: But then Leo went to Chelsea and was like,
[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_08]: Yo, why do you keep doing this to me?
[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_08]: Why do you keep ruining my bridge?
[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_08]: And Chelsea was like, Oh, I didn't even mean to.
[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm so sorry.
[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_08]: Hold on. I've got.
[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I've got somewhere.
[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, yeah, I've got these plans for a bridge.
[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_08]: It's going to be great.
[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_08]: It's going to be the two of us on the bridge.
[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_08]: It's going to be such a good bridge.
[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_08]: I promise I'll get the workers out there like first thing next week.
[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_08]: Definitely going to happen.
[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_08]: Here's I got the plans for it right here.
[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_08]: And so Leah went into this week thinking like, All right, she's got.
[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_08]: I think I think she wants to work with me.
[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_08]: Hey, Chelsea, you said you wanted to build this bridge.
[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_08]: And she was like, I do.
[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_08]: And look at you.
[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_08]: You have all the workers now.
[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_08]: You have all the power.
[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_08]: So get it built in the bridge, I think, Leah.
[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_08]: I think you should start building it, you know, for me.
[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_08]: I couldn't win anything, so I can't do it myself.
[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_08]: But you've got the tools.
[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Go ahead and start building for me.
[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Maybe take out a couple of other bridges.
[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_08]: It's going to be great.
[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think it has a lot to do.
[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, yes, it has as much credit as Chelsea deserves in this situation.
[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like it has a lot to do with just Leah being just a little bit naive
[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_03]: because even look at McKenzie in the episode, like,
[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm scared to talk to Leah because I just sent Quinn home and Leah's like,
[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_03]: what should I do?
[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, I guess he's like, Oh, OK, I guess we're good.
[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. And it's yeah.
[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, it's very much like I'm going to protect this bridge.
[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_07]: But I have six other friends with wrecking balls ready to go next week.
[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it's like
[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_08]: Chelsea actually lives on the other side of the bridge.
[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_08]: She's got six other bridges that have been built already.
[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. She's pretending she lives on the other shore.
[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_08]: So so that's how Leah is thinking.
[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_08]: That's what Leah is thinking here.
[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_08]: She needs to find it's finally time to break up this trio,
[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_08]: which is exactly why you keep a trio like this around for
[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_08]: for somebody to finally make the mistake of being the one
[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_08]: to waste their week targeting them.
[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_08]: And and here it is.
[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_08]: Leah's feeling that, you know, Rubina goes up on the block.
[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_08]: T-Core is a threat, but wouldn't go home.
[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_08]: So Kimo, he's easy.
[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_08]: He's been on the block a bunch of times.
[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_08]: You just throw Kimo up there.
[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_08]: I do love that they quickly cut to the Kimo shot of like,
[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_08]: you know, shirt over the head doing his thing.
[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_08]: Some great screenshots of that.
[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_08]: And and just like that, it's
[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_08]: it's it's Kimo and Rubina.
[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_07]: There's a world in which, like, I could get the threat of the trio
[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_07]: standing out if Chelsea didn't also have a trio.
[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, yeah, OK.
[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_07]: The trio controls the votes and I would like my trio to control the votes.
[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_08]: We're talking about this nom ceremony.
[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_03]: OK, please, because why?
[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it was like it was right there.
[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Smash your bottles of the ones that are not nominated.
[00:31:07] [SPEAKER_08]: They have a whole new system.
[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_08]: They've created bottles with names on them.
[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_08]: And I'm like, OK.
[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_08]: We're finally going to have some fun.
[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, we're going to throw some bottles,
[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_08]: smash some bottles, shoot some bottles, knock some bottles down.
[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.
[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_08]: But it's going to be it's
[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_08]: this might be like an improved key wheel, you know, like one by one.
[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_08]: You're not you're safe. You're safe. You're safe.
[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.
[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_08]: Or maybe it's just smashing some bottles.
[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_08]: Maybe it's just like my first nominee is, oh, yeah, Kimo.
[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_08]: You know what I mean?
[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_08]: Like smashing the and then she brings out two rings.
[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_08]: Like I'm getting concerned.
[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_08]: Are we going to toss the rings?
[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_08]: That seems weird. What if she misses?
[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_08]: What if she has to toss the ring on her nomination?
[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Shoot, I didn't mean to nom Angeles.
[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_08]: All kinds of possibilities are running through my head.
[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_08]: And all I'm thinking is nothing can be worse than what we already have
[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_08]: of my first nominee is my second nominee is Shirley.
[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_08]: Then she starts
[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_08]: holding the rings over the bottle, she said,
[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm going to put the ring on the bottle of the nominee.
[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm like, oh, OK.
[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_08]: She goes, my first nominee is.
[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, same thing, different from.
[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Doesn't even say the name.
[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Still.
[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_07]: It was.
[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_07]: So incredibly.
[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_08]: That issues it on production.
[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_06]: We're not saying names when they nominate people.
[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_06]: What is wrong with them?
[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah.
[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_07]: I thought we were at least like backing up into a key wheel situation,
[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_07]: but like, no, you know, we had 45 minutes of content
[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_07]: that could have gone to anything.
[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_07]: But unfortunately, we still couldn't find time for this.
[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_08]: Here's what I ask of you future contestants.
[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Refuse when you do nominations.
[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_08]: I want you to go. My first nominee is chemo.
[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_08]: They'll be like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Hold on.
[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, you're not supposed to say the name.
[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, sorry about that.
[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_08]: Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.
[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_08]: Let's let's run it back. Sorry.
[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_08]: I ruined it. They already know now.
[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_08]: Are we going to run it back? OK, I will.
[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_08]: OK, for second nomination, I'm definitely not going to do it again.
[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_08]: OK. My second nominee is Rubina.
[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. Sorry. You ruined it again.
[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_08]: Did I? Yes. Oh, sorry about that. Hmm.
[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_03]: What's hilarious, too, is the distance they were from the bottles
[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_03]: and like the name was written.
[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_03]: So imagine someone didn't have on their glasses.
[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Wait, who did she nominate?
[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a long name. I don't know.
[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_03]: It's probably not Cam.
[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_08]: It's like, oh, no, not my.
[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, the ring is on my bottle. Yeah.
[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Dag nab it.
[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_08]: I anyway, what I did like was the dancing after.
[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_08]: Immediately calling them to dance and then doing the slow mo
[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_08]: with the dancing over the final diary rooms.
[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_08]: That was great. Yes.
[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Inspire this was super good.
[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_07]: We've definitely seen like a couple times where they like call out
[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_07]: punishment right after a nomination ceremony or a veto ceremony.
[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_07]: And so I'm glad that they held true with that, because at least that was
[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_08]: entertaining. Yes, I do think that, you know, they played like carnival
[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_08]: music over. I feel personally, I think if I were editing,
[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_08]: I probably would have chose like extra dramatic music
[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_08]: over the over the slow mo dancing.
[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_08]: But listen, you can't have it all. It was good. It was fun.
[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. I imagine how much better it would be
[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_07]: if it was two people who cared about being on the block.
[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, I was just thinking that.
[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, on one hand, you have Kimo, whose this is his
[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_03]: 17th time on the block.
[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Then you have Rubina, who's like, hey, I'm here for a good time.
[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I may be on the block, but it's OK.
[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to do the worm. It's all right.
[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_08]: Listen, I've been here a bunch.
[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_08]: It's it just works out.
[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_08]: I just do very little sometimes give a speech
[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_08]: and it's just rolling off my back.
[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, what we could have had.
[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, oh, boy.
[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_08]: So, yeah, those are the combinations.
[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_08]: We did have like a whole segment revolving around the
[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_08]: just the living outside part that, you know, it hates
[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_08]: hot out there.
[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_08]: These are these are rough conditions, Asia.
[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_08]: It's you know, it's really
[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_08]: they're used to being inside.
[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_08]: And, you know, I really feel like maybe too harsh.
[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, I couldn't imagine it just it must have been really,
[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_03]: really hard, you know, having to sleep outside
[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_03]: when they're used to sleeping inside and eating pizza
[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and ice cream. Gross.
[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, they have to like go into the shade.
[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's like wave the freezer that was accessible to them.
[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_03]: They had to wave the freezer to get to cool off.
[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_03]: It was like, oh, my God, it's amazing.
[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_08]: It's like, where's the AC?
[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_08]: You know, like inside.
[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_08]: Come on. Brutal.
[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, and then the shower that they had out there.
[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Who even knows if it was the right time?
[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_08]: It was like cold in their bathrooms.
[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. Like with the door.
[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. With the door that was like hot in there.
[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. I think. Yeah.
[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, Big Brother, why on earth would you do this to them?
[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_03]: They were miserable.
[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_03]: And then you hear T Corp say, oh, my gosh, this is only day one.
[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I feel for them.
[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_08]: Mm hmm. Yeah.
[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_08]: It has it has really dampened
[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_08]: enthusiasm, as you've likely seen in this episode of.
[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Game talk is slow to a crawl.
[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, they are just like just laying outside.
[00:38:07] [SPEAKER_08]: Like all of those images of Angela just like face planting on the ground
[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_08]: in the house throughout the season.
[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_08]: That's everyone outside always.
[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_08]: They're just all just like.
[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_08]: Knocked out until they have to do a dance or sing a song
[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_08]: and then they start singing about janky.
[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's brutal.
[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_07]: When like around the wall to do your laundry is the best spot
[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_07]: you have to talk game in private.
[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't love this.
[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_08]: And then I've been thinking about this because, you know, it's
[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_08]: I've thought about it many times in my life.
[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_08]: If I had to, could I only eat pizza?
[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Hmm. What if it was just like, like, OK, it's not the same toppings every time.
[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Right. You give variety like, you know, they have pepperoni sometimes.
[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_03]: They have a supreme sometimes.
[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, can I request toppings because all of a sudden
[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_08]: I can basically whatever I want just with pizza under it.
[00:39:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I can have a breakfast pizza.
[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_07]: I can make a pizza.
[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_08]: Listen, I some more regularly eat salad pizzas.
[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm just saying.
[00:39:38] [SPEAKER_08]: And you could put anything on his salad.
[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, look, if people are going to force me to eat pizzas,
[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_07]: making money all week by being there,
[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_07]: maybe I could do it.
[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, maybe they're.
[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, maybe there is too much of a good thing.
[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I love pizza.
[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_08]: I genuinely think this is actually very doable,
[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_08]: but it entirely depends on the pizza.
[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. Because if you're just getting like the kind of pizza
[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_08]: that you pick up and there's a stream of grease dropping down.
[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, you're probably going to die.
[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_08]: But if you can choose the dough, you know what I mean?
[00:40:24] [SPEAKER_08]: Like if you can be in charge of the makeup of this pizza,
[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_08]: you could you can have you can have it all.
[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. Well, if I know a big brother,
[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm sure they have many options on.
[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, you guys want whole wheat?
[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I'll definitely get that.
[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Right then, Chris, you know, you can eat a lot more than Chris
[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_03]: than the thick crust we saw on the episode.
[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_08]: Certainly. Yes.
[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_08]: It's I don't know what kind of pizzas they have, actually.
[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_08]: I have not been paying attention to that.
[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_08]: It looks like it's Dajuan.
[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_03]: It does look it is giving strong Dajuan.
[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_08]: It looks suspiciously like the Dajuan, which would not be great
[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_08]: for more than one day.
[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. Great for a one time.
[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Even one day every meal. That's a lot.
[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. So, you know,
[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_08]: well, I guess we'll continue to see how they fare out there.
[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_08]: That's I mean, anything else in this episode to talk about?
[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_08]: What should we should we talk about some feeds?
[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_03]: We should get into it.
[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_03]: All right. Well, actually, real quick, it is I will.
[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I would like to say it is impressive that Angela was able
[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_03]: to last so long in that competition like nine hours.
[00:41:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, I wouldn't have guessed it for Angela.
[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_03]: So props to her. Yeah.
[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_08]: There you go.
[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, sign of a good competition.
[00:42:01] [SPEAKER_08]: Totally like seemingly random
[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_08]: field of competitors after nine hours.
[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_08]: Great design.
[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I also do like Leah being like,
[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_07]: I have to split up the trio.
[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_07]: T-Core will beat every single person in the final two
[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_07]: and has never been nominated.
[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_07]: That only not nominate her.
[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, OK.
[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_07]: All right. Sure.
[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_08]: Listen, it's you that it's only the final eight.
[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_08]: We've got a week in our targets before we actually take the shot.
[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_08]: All right. Let's talk about some feeds.
[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_01]: The Office of Civil Defense has issued the following message.
[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_01]: This is a spoiler warning.
[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_05]: A spoiler warning means that an actual spoiler
[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_01]: against this country has been detected
[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_01]: and that protective action should be taken.
[00:42:58] [SPEAKER_08]: OK. So chemo Rubina on the block,
[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_08]: we have a video competition you might have noticed in the episode.
[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_08]: They said something about two videos.
[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_08]: What? There are two videos.
[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_08]: There is what they are calling the janky veto.
[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_08]: We do not know a ton about how it works
[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_08]: beyond the fact that it has been said that the janky veto
[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_08]: will be used first before the real veto.
[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_08]: And there is an expectation that the holder of the janky veto
[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_08]: might need to complete some kind of task
[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_08]: or test of some sort to be able to use that veto.
[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_08]: But with two videos in play,
[00:43:53] [SPEAKER_08]: there's a lot of opportunity to shake things up
[00:43:56] [SPEAKER_08]: with these nominations and really maybe correct some errors.
[00:44:03] [SPEAKER_08]: And wouldn't you know it,
[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_08]: the two people who sat out of the veto.
[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_08]: Or M.J. and Cam.
[00:44:11] [SPEAKER_08]: Two people who probably the most likely to win any given veto,
[00:44:15] [SPEAKER_08]: as they tend to be more physical than HOH competitions.
[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_08]: Turns out the veto was. Puzzle.
[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_04]: And I really like my puzzle, baby.
[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_08]: Tucker really liked puzzles.
[00:44:31] [SPEAKER_08]: But now the person who likes puzzles the most.
[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_08]: Is Angela.
[00:44:39] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm wheeling and dealing over here, ladies and gents.
[00:44:43] [SPEAKER_08]: Because Angela won the veto
[00:44:45] [SPEAKER_08]: for third competition this season.
[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Should we say comp queen?
[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_07]: Look, we should not say it.
[00:44:55] [SPEAKER_07]: Her fourth veto, the first she's won,
[00:44:58] [SPEAKER_07]: but fourth veto she's had.
[00:45:03] [SPEAKER_08]: Angela wins this veto.
[00:45:05] [SPEAKER_08]: And I believe in second place came
[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_08]: Leah, who because of that won the janky veto.
[00:45:13] [SPEAKER_08]: So Leah and Angela now hold two vetoes, theoretically.
[00:45:21] [SPEAKER_08]: With these vetoes, they can collectively do
[00:45:25] [SPEAKER_08]: anything they want with the nominations,
[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_08]: and nobody can stop them.
[00:45:32] [SPEAKER_08]: They can literally put two people,
[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_08]: anybody they want on the block,
[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_08]: and there's nothing that those people can do about it.
[00:45:41] [SPEAKER_08]: They can't win a comp to save themselves.
[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_08]: It's this is unprecedented power.
[00:45:45] [SPEAKER_08]: It is a lot of power to be able to absolutely guarantee lock in
[00:45:50] [SPEAKER_08]: two nominations at the end of the week,
[00:45:53] [SPEAKER_08]: and there's nothing they can do.
[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_08]: So the question then becomes, what are they going to do?
[00:46:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Because as we saw on this episode, Leah seemingly
[00:46:04] [SPEAKER_08]: it has her eyes set on the trio.
[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_08]: Now, we weren't sure.
[00:46:10] [SPEAKER_08]: It's been a long time again outside,
[00:46:14] [SPEAKER_08]: hard for them to have conversations.
[00:46:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Planes are flying overhead. They're whispering.
[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_08]: They finally were doing some one on ones,
[00:46:21] [SPEAKER_08]: and it became clear pretty quickly that Angela,
[00:46:25] [SPEAKER_08]: she does want to use this veto all on her own.
[00:46:31] [SPEAKER_08]: This is her idea.
[00:46:32] [SPEAKER_08]: She would like to use the veto.
[00:46:34] [SPEAKER_08]: She had been used on her a lot,
[00:46:36] [SPEAKER_08]: but she would like to use the veto because
[00:46:39] [SPEAKER_08]: she kind of owes somebody one.
[00:46:41] [SPEAKER_08]: Maybe two. You might be thinking, oh,
[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_08]: oh, he's going to hate me.
[00:46:47] [SPEAKER_08]: Chemo, she voted him out twice,
[00:46:51] [SPEAKER_08]: but she loves him.
[00:46:53] [SPEAKER_08]: She wants to take chemo off the block chemo,
[00:46:57] [SPEAKER_08]: the otherwise target for the week.
[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_08]: Angela wants to take him off the block.
[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_08]: So she had a conversation with Angela during this episode,
[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_08]: like literally like an hour ago,
[00:47:09] [SPEAKER_08]: and they were talking about, Angela was informing Leah,
[00:47:11] [SPEAKER_08]: I want to take chemo off the block.
[00:47:14] [SPEAKER_08]: That means you're going to have to put somebody else on the block.
[00:47:17] [SPEAKER_08]: And Leah said, that's fine.
[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_08]: You might think here we go now.
[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_08]: She's going to put up Chelsea, right?
[00:47:27] [SPEAKER_08]: Chelsea against Rubina, maybe even use the veto on Rubina.
[00:47:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Do your initial plan of Chelsea and T Corp.
[00:47:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Guarantee that one of the two top threats leaves the game.
[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_08]: But at the very least, Chelsea versus Rubina,
[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_08]: something that's workable, right?
[00:47:42] [SPEAKER_08]: You can you can play both sides off of each other.
[00:47:44] [SPEAKER_08]: There's a lot of options.
[00:47:47] [SPEAKER_08]: However, at the moment,
[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_08]: it's looking more like they discussed the option of,
[00:47:53] [SPEAKER_08]: well, why don't we get T Corp?
[00:47:57] [SPEAKER_08]: Not as the target.
[00:48:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Just as the pawn against the target Rubina.
[00:48:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[00:48:11] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.
[00:48:13] [SPEAKER_07]: I feel like there had been work done like chemo
[00:48:17] [SPEAKER_07]: actually asked for the veto to be used on him this week.
[00:48:19] [SPEAKER_07]: There was a miracle.
[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_07]: He did ask to come off the block.
[00:48:23] [SPEAKER_07]: It was so great.
[00:48:25] [SPEAKER_07]: And it looked like Leah was almost even
[00:48:29] [SPEAKER_07]: preparing cam for a world of like,
[00:48:31] [SPEAKER_07]: I want to work with you.
[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_07]: Well, maybe no matter what happens, like, let's try to,
[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_07]: you know, I trust you.
[00:48:39] [SPEAKER_07]: And then something shifted.
[00:48:41] [SPEAKER_07]: Now, all of a sudden, Rubina's the target.
[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I mean, I don't know for lack of trying, I would imagine.
[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_08]: I think that like in Leah's mind, it's just like, well,
[00:48:52] [SPEAKER_08]: I can't get out T Corp.
[00:48:53] [SPEAKER_08]: So I'll just put her up and then they'll vote out Rubina,
[00:48:58] [SPEAKER_08]: which is kind of maybe probably true because it really, you know,
[00:49:02] [SPEAKER_08]: if you're Chelsea, there's no reason to vote out T Corp.
[00:49:05] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, right.
[00:49:06] [SPEAKER_08]: Now, it would be quite silly, in fact, to do so.
[00:49:10] [SPEAKER_08]: So if T Corp goes on the block against Rubina,
[00:49:13] [SPEAKER_08]: she is likely staying unless Chelsea decides to vote out T Corp,
[00:49:19] [SPEAKER_08]: which again, I think would be.
[00:49:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Kind of a strange move to make at this point in the game, but
[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_08]: but, you know, she does have another veto.
[00:49:32] [SPEAKER_08]: You don't have to accept those results, but
[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_08]: but I think as we saw in this episode,
[00:49:37] [SPEAKER_08]: she is actually looking to potentially work with Chelsea,
[00:49:42] [SPEAKER_08]: Cam and MJ.
[00:49:44] [SPEAKER_08]: Now, this was made a little confusing because she did just have a conversation
[00:49:48] [SPEAKER_08]: with Cam where she talked about all the reasons why she should put Chelsea
[00:49:51] [SPEAKER_08]: on the block and why she doesn't trust Chelsea.
[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_08]: So it feels like she'll hear about that at some point, maybe.
[00:49:59] [SPEAKER_08]: But, you know, it's I'm sure it'll be fine.
[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just curious to see what this second veto is, because, yeah,
[00:50:07] [SPEAKER_03]: this plan with T Corp and Rubina.
[00:50:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, yeah, you could easily count the votes to see that T Corp would stay.
[00:50:17] [SPEAKER_03]: But then it's like what is if she is able to use her veto,
[00:50:23] [SPEAKER_03]: she takes off Rubina and if she is planning to work with Chelsea,
[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_03]: who else would go up?
[00:50:31] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't think she was.
[00:50:32] [SPEAKER_08]: What she said to Angela was that she doesn't want to use her veto.
[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_08]: OK. So
[00:50:37] [SPEAKER_08]: assuming Angela takes chemo off the block,
[00:50:43] [SPEAKER_08]: Leah would then likely not use the veto at this point,
[00:50:46] [SPEAKER_08]: at least according to that conversation with Angela.
[00:50:50] [SPEAKER_08]: She did specifically mention she said, I thought about doing
[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_08]: what we talked about T Corp and Chelsea on the block.
[00:50:56] [SPEAKER_08]: But I worry that Chelsea would stay.
[00:51:00] [SPEAKER_08]: So I don't want to do that.
[00:51:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Because then she's like, yeah, because she's saying that we
[00:51:07] [SPEAKER_03]: were going to work together and if she stays, then obviously they're not
[00:51:09] [SPEAKER_03]: working together because she put her up.
[00:51:12] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm just a little confused about how she thinks Chelsea would stay,
[00:51:14] [SPEAKER_08]: considering that the primary reason she's targeting the trio
[00:51:18] [SPEAKER_08]: is that they'll always vote for each other.
[00:51:20] [SPEAKER_08]: And if the trio votes to keep T Corp and Angela votes to keep T Corp,
[00:51:26] [SPEAKER_08]: I guess you might be saying you don't trust Angela to vote out T Corp
[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_08]: or to vote out Chelsea. But like.
[00:51:34] [SPEAKER_07]: Then you're getting out the person you think beats everyone in the final two
[00:51:37] [SPEAKER_07]: who's also not going to work with you. Right.
[00:51:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, oh, it's that outside air affecting them.
[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_03]: That's all it is.
[00:51:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Listen, what are you going to do?
[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_08]: It's still it's still certainly a better position than
[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_08]: than they were in before.
[00:51:57] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, I do think that T Corp on the block against Rubina
[00:52:01] [SPEAKER_08]: is a slightly better spot than chemo on the block against Rubina.
[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_08]: But not by that much.
[00:52:11] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, because there is a chance it opens the door for Chelsea
[00:52:14] [SPEAKER_08]: to make a mistake and take out T Corp.
[00:52:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Chelsea has talked to MJ and Cam.
[00:52:19] [SPEAKER_08]: It was last week about getting rid of T Corp
[00:52:22] [SPEAKER_08]: because T Corp is the glue between Rubina and chemo.
[00:52:25] [SPEAKER_08]: And while that is pretty true,
[00:52:30] [SPEAKER_08]: it doesn't really matter
[00:52:32] [SPEAKER_08]: because if you get rid of Rubina
[00:52:36] [SPEAKER_08]: and it's just T Corp and chemo, it's just two of them.
[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_08]: And where does T Corp go to Chelsea?
[00:52:45] [SPEAKER_08]: Right. Like, let's imagine the world where this goes through.
[00:52:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Leah puts T Corp on the block, replaces T Corp with
[00:52:52] [SPEAKER_08]: sorry, Angela takes chemo off the block
[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_08]: and Leah replaces chemo with T Corp.
[00:53:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Chelsea does the smart thing.
[00:53:01] [SPEAKER_08]: And all week long is telling T Corp, I got your back.
[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_08]: Don't worry about it.
[00:53:06] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm sorry that Rubina has to go. Leah sucks, right?
[00:53:10] [SPEAKER_08]: Votes out Rubina.
[00:53:12] [SPEAKER_08]: T Corp pulls chemo with her to Chelsea
[00:53:14] [SPEAKER_08]: and Chelsea sells it as like three of us, right?
[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_08]: Like, I'm the new Rubina.
[00:53:20] [SPEAKER_08]: Meanwhile, she's got her final two with Cam,
[00:53:22] [SPEAKER_08]: her final two with MJ and their trio over there.
[00:53:27] [SPEAKER_08]: And Chelsea just gets to sit in between two trios
[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_08]: as the center point.
[00:53:30] [SPEAKER_08]: It's like a little bow tie.
[00:53:33] [SPEAKER_08]: And guess who's not in any of that
[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_08]: and not valuable to Chelsea's game at all?
[00:53:39] [SPEAKER_08]: It's yeah, it's Leah and Angela.
[00:53:42] [SPEAKER_08]: And really from any side of the bow tie,
[00:53:45] [SPEAKER_08]: Chelsea can just swarm the two of them because that's
[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_08]: just the clear move at that point.
[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_08]: That would be, I think, like how things should play out
[00:53:55] [SPEAKER_08]: in a season where people are making rational moves.
[00:53:57] [SPEAKER_08]: That does not mean that is how it will play out,
[00:54:00] [SPEAKER_08]: but you know, that's what I think.
[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_08]: There's the other option where Chelsea, I think,
[00:54:05] [SPEAKER_08]: like decides, okay, I'm gonna take out T Corp
[00:54:10] [SPEAKER_08]: because T Corp is the glue between chemo and Rubina,
[00:54:13] [SPEAKER_08]: but like, that's not a good thing
[00:54:15] [SPEAKER_08]: that you've unglued them.
[00:54:18] [SPEAKER_08]: Like if in the best case scenario
[00:54:19] [SPEAKER_08]: where they don't regroup,
[00:54:21] [SPEAKER_08]: which they probably would anyway
[00:54:23] [SPEAKER_08]: cause they are still friends,
[00:54:24] [SPEAKER_08]: you're just saying that one of them is gonna side
[00:54:26] [SPEAKER_08]: on the other side of the house
[00:54:27] [SPEAKER_08]: and one of them sides with you,
[00:54:29] [SPEAKER_08]: as opposed to both of them siding with you.
[00:54:31] [SPEAKER_08]: It's like, it's does not that helpful in my opinion,
[00:54:34] [SPEAKER_08]: but either way is kind of what we're looking at here,
[00:54:38] [SPEAKER_08]: Scali.
[00:54:39] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[00:54:39] [SPEAKER_07]: And Leah's a little bit handcuffed by the fact
[00:54:42] [SPEAKER_07]: that the trio who has won a lot more comps
[00:54:45] [SPEAKER_07]: in Chelsea, MJ and Cam,
[00:54:48] [SPEAKER_07]: like if she takes out one of like the not heads,
[00:54:52] [SPEAKER_07]: she is although inconsistently closest
[00:54:55] [SPEAKER_07]: with Cam and MJ in the house.
[00:54:58] [SPEAKER_07]: So it doesn't really do her a ton of good
[00:54:59] [SPEAKER_07]: to take out people who she is close with,
[00:55:02] [SPEAKER_07]: even if they are more likely to win comps.
[00:55:04] [SPEAKER_07]: So if you're not going specifically
[00:55:06] [SPEAKER_07]: for like the T Corp Chelsea nominations,
[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_07]: I understand why she is in such a pickle,
[00:55:11] [SPEAKER_07]: but it's not good.
[00:55:15] [SPEAKER_07]: It's not good.
[00:55:19] [SPEAKER_03]: If it does end up being T Corp on the block
[00:55:22] [SPEAKER_03]: versus Rubina,
[00:55:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I do think that yes, right now,
[00:55:27] [SPEAKER_03]: it may seem like, yeah, that it would not make sense.
[00:55:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, yes, you explained the bow tie situation,
[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_03]: but I think there's enough time between now
[00:55:37] [SPEAKER_03]: and or I guess the veto ceremony and Thursday
[00:55:41] [SPEAKER_03]: for them to realize why are we keeping someone
[00:55:43] [SPEAKER_03]: who can easily win in the final two?
[00:55:46] [SPEAKER_08]: Right. There is that right?
[00:55:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Like can Chelsea actually hold on to both MJ and Cam
[00:55:51] [SPEAKER_08]: to keep T Corp when it doesn't benefit
[00:55:54] [SPEAKER_08]: either one of them to do so.
[00:55:57] [SPEAKER_08]: And to that end, I would probably just point
[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_08]: to the last two weeks.
[00:56:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:56:04] [SPEAKER_08]: Cause it probably won't be that hard,
[00:56:07] [SPEAKER_08]: but theoretically they could, you know,
[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_08]: eventually come up with an idea
[00:56:11] [SPEAKER_08]: that actually benefits one of them
[00:56:12] [SPEAKER_08]: and they could be like, wait a minute,
[00:56:14] [SPEAKER_08]: why are we keeping T Corp?
[00:56:15] [SPEAKER_08]: That makes no sense for us.
[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_08]: But I'm not gonna hold my breath.
[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_08]: So that's about what we got from the feeds.
[00:56:28] [SPEAKER_08]: And you know, either way,
[00:56:31] [SPEAKER_08]: fun stuff with the competition outcomes.
[00:56:33] [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, you know, this was exciting stuff.
[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_08]: We are now in a world where women have won
[00:56:42] [SPEAKER_08]: more than half of the comps.
[00:56:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow. Yay women.
[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_08]: That's more than double the amount
[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_08]: of percentage from last season.
[00:56:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh boy.
[00:56:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[00:56:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. I mean, look, we asked for it all the time.
[00:57:00] [SPEAKER_07]: This is almost like as close to as perfect
[00:57:03] [SPEAKER_07]: of comp outcomes as we could have come
[00:57:05] [SPEAKER_07]: for like potential this week.
[00:57:08] [SPEAKER_07]: You know, it might not be realized,
[00:57:10] [SPEAKER_07]: but there was a lot that could have happened here.
[00:57:15] [SPEAKER_08]: All right.
[00:57:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Anything else?
[00:57:17] [SPEAKER_08]: Anything else to bring up here?
[00:57:21] [SPEAKER_03]: It'll be interesting to see how much content
[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_03]: they're able to get out of Wednesday.
[00:57:27] [SPEAKER_08]: We will see.
[00:57:30] [SPEAKER_08]: All right.
[00:57:31] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, that is what we have for you then here tonight.
[00:57:34] [SPEAKER_08]: I will be back tomorrow morning, 11 a.m. Eastern
[00:57:36] [SPEAKER_08]: to update you on everything that happens today
[00:57:37] [SPEAKER_08]: and tonight on the Big Brother 26 live feeds,
[00:57:40] [SPEAKER_08]: including if there are any locked in plans
[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_08]: for these nominations and veto usages,
[00:57:50] [SPEAKER_08]: there's still a chance.
[00:57:51] [SPEAKER_08]: You know, Leah was clearly considering the idea
[00:57:54] [SPEAKER_08]: of putting Chelsea up on the block as her pawn
[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_08]: instead of T-Core.
[00:58:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Intentional or not,
[00:58:01] [SPEAKER_08]: I do think that would be a significantly better move.
[00:58:06] [SPEAKER_08]: But as of right now,
[00:58:08] [SPEAKER_08]: it does seem likely she's leaning T-Core,
[00:58:11] [SPEAKER_08]: but you know, I'll update you in the morning.
[00:58:14] [SPEAKER_08]: It's gonna be great.
[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Then tomorrow night, survivor drafts.
[00:58:20] [SPEAKER_08]: Survivor 47 coming up.
[00:58:22] [SPEAKER_08]: We're gonna be drafting some players,
[00:58:23] [SPEAKER_08]: so tune in for that one.
[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_08]: And then the night after that, we got the round table.
[00:58:29] [SPEAKER_08]: It's all coming.
[00:58:30] [SPEAKER_08]: It's all coming here.
