Today, Rob Cesternino, Taran Armstrong, Lovina and Big Brother 20's Haleigh Brocher break down the Thursday night eviction episode of Big Brother Season 26.[00:00:08] Coming to you live from my apartment, it's Rob has a podcast and now here's the guy who's always ready to outtwit, outplay, outlast. I am Rob Cesternino. Welcome back to our Thursday
[00:00:21] night eviction recap week two. A lot to talk about tonight as we saw the AI arena have another round plus another blindside in two weeks and a great guest. But of course, back with us tonight, Taran Armstrong. Taran, how are you?
[00:00:39] I'm doing great tonight. I had a revelation. Yes. Angela helped me come to this conclusion, but I just really want to be a part of you. Oh, OK. Yeah. I want to be a part of you.
[00:00:55] Yeah. OK. Well, that's that's great news, Taran. I just really hope you let me be a part of you, Rob. Yes. We're happy you're saying yes to me and I feel like you're not matching my energy right now. It's tough stuff. It's a roller coaster, Angela. Tarangela.
[00:01:12] Yeah. I'm just really glad that you've granted my dream to be here. Yes. Big brother. OK. You need to say it louder. Louder. All right. Of course. Also back with us tonight. Levina Pavelovina, how are you? I'm doing incredible. Like when Big Brother's good, it's it is truly
[00:01:34] I'm fully biased, but the best show on TV and will remain that. So I'm very excited to talk about the episode. I'm thrilled. OK. Happy to have you here with us. And what
[00:01:44] a treat here tonight on Eviction Night. We have here with us a great Big Brother guest. Of course, we got to meet her back on BB20. You can catch her now on YouTube vlogging
[00:01:59] away. It's Hailey Brocker. Hailey, how are you? I'm great. Thank you for having me. And you look ravishing tonight, Hailey. Thank you. Thank you. I do want to say I feel like
[00:02:09] I set a trend with comedy. You did. You really did. I didn't want to take all the credit, but I'm like, I kind of started this. Yeah. Karen, I feel like I remember Dan being like
[00:02:20] a real suck up to Julie, but I feel like then it took on like a new life with Hailey. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. And I you know what? I feel like I feel like back then it was more
[00:02:32] fun because Julie didn't know how to respond. Yeah. But now now it's just now she's like totally smooth with it and just like gives a compliment back. Yeah. She has practice. Well, also, Hailey, didn't you do it like based upon the person's first initial?
[00:02:49] Like I feel like I felt like you gave. Oh, no, that was Nicole. Nicole. I wish I would have thought about that. That is like really brilliant. No, I just kind of I would spend the
[00:02:58] whole week coming up with a vocab word and that's how I would pass my time because I wanted to make sure it was something interesting. That was Nicole Anthony. Nicole Anthony gave each person
[00:03:09] a compliment based upon like the first initial of their name. OK, yeah. Now I remember. OK, well, look, we've got a lot to unpack here tonight. Want to get questions in for Hailey,
[00:03:20] especially in the chat? We'll get to those later on the show. Hailey, tell us a little bit about what you're up to these days. Oh, what am I up to? OK, so in the past six years post Big Brother,
[00:03:32] I went back to school. I am getting my doctorate in psychology. So I'm in a Ph.D. program in Illinois, Chicago, outskirts of Chicago, northern Illinois. Go Huskies. And I have a year left of
[00:03:47] that program. I'm so excited. And other than that, I've just kind of been keeping to myself. My boyfriend and I moved in together. So that's a big life update. We're moving to Oklahoma,
[00:03:58] which I never thought would be a sentence that I would ever say out loud. But I'm moving to Oklahoma. So that's coming up pretty soon in my life in terms of life changes. So I'm going to live in
[00:04:11] Oklahoma now during the season or during the school semester and then back in Austin in the summer. So and other than that, I'm just kind of minding my business, posting on social media. Yes. Keeping myself sane. OK. And what's going on over on YouTube?
[00:04:28] YouTube, I revamped about a month ago. I got back into it. I've talked a lot about this. I had a Patreon for a while, but I don't do it anymore. But I really had an issue with making
[00:04:38] content post Big Brother. I just couldn't get into it. And lately, I've really fallen in love with YouTube long format. And I think it's more fun over here on YouTube. All the other apps,
[00:04:50] I just don't like they don't give great vibes anymore. So I'm moving over here to YouTube and I'm just kind of logging my life, giving life advice that I wish I would have had as a younger
[00:05:02] woman, because there's things that I wish I would have learned. I didn't even know where to turn to figure them out. So I'm trying to get into that specter and, of course, covering some Big
[00:05:09] Brother stuff because we love that. Yeah. Not like you guys. So you guys already have this order. Look, we're thrilled to have you here. We've seen you in the chat. So it was great to have you
[00:05:20] here on. How are you enjoying BB26? I love BB26. Honestly, I don't want to take more credit, but this is everything I ever wanted. I posted a video about everything I wanted and they have
[00:05:34] literally packaged it perfectly. The comps are equal. I think that everyone can compete in them. The cast is unhinged and I love it. Yeah, it's really giving me exactly what I wanted.
[00:05:46] The only complaint I would say is as someone who's trying to keep up with actually live feeds and what's going on behind the scenes, I'm having such a hard time with the feed cutting. And I know
[00:05:57] that you all have talked about that extensively, but I can't even really follow. So that's my one complaint, which if that's the only thing I have, I think it's pretty good. Yeah. Taryn, the feed cutting, you know, nothing we can do about that.
[00:06:16] That's what I'm here for. And you know, what's funny is that I met Haley after Big Brother 21 and she was talking about how she wanted to get her PhD and stuff like that. And now, you know,
[00:06:29] what, four or five years later, she's almost done getting her PhD and I've podcast about like five more seasons of Big Brother. So I feel like we've really been accomplishing things, you know, Haley? Yeah, I agree.
[00:06:41] Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, let's talk about what happened here tonight. And Taryn, I mean, look at us here now, two weeks, two blindsides here. I mean, do we have to give some credit
[00:06:54] here to the AI arena? I definitely think we do in terms of the blindsides. I think that like there are a lot of people that are still a little skeptical of the AI arena competition,
[00:07:05] and I would include myself in that crowd. I think that there's an argument to be made that it's contributing to like a slowdown in the gameplay, but there's definitely a result we're getting
[00:07:17] from it, which is that two weeks, two blindsides, which makes, and I think in general makes the Thursday episodes a little more exciting. I say that like they're usually exciting because of the HOH competition, but we usually weren't getting those anyway. So I do still feel like there's
[00:07:34] promise to this. We may end up coming out of the season feeling like, you know what? It wasn't worth it. But I think that this is a definite result that we are going to probably
[00:07:46] continue to get throughout the season as long as the AI arena competition sticks around. Yeah. Hayley, are you feeling the AI arena? Yeah, I'm really into it, but I don't think, is it going to go forever? Do we think this is going to go till the end?
[00:08:00] I bet four weeks. Okay. I'd say four to eight weeks. Oh, not long. Battle of the Block was around eight weeks initially. So if they really like it, they could keep it roughly that long probably if they wanted to.
[00:08:12] The one thing I will say is that I think that the current AI twist gives people so many chances to get off the block that you don't really see the paranoid. Well, there's a lot of paranoia in the
[00:08:25] house in general, but the fear of being on the block is kind of lessened because you have so many chances to take yourself off that these, the people's reactions to me are not on par for what
[00:08:37] they typically are because it's a big deal still. But in my opinion, it's less of a big deal because you have so many opportunities. Like literally Tucker volunteered himself because he was so sure
[00:08:47] that he had a chance to get, you know? So that is like an interesting thing I'm seeing. But I do like the blind side effect of it to where even we as audiences aren't a hundred percent sure.
[00:08:58] Cause that's my least favorite thing is watching an episode where I know exactly what's going to happen. Yeah. I was going to say that too. I was going to say Thursday episodes are my favorite
[00:09:06] episode typically in the past because of HOH, but like Terrence said, we're not getting those. And if there's anything that can even throw me off, then I'm totally here for it because in the
[00:09:16] past, like, and also in comparison to other twists we've had in the past, this is pretty good. Like I would actually say I'm more so on the side of, I actually do enjoy this. And I wouldn't mind if
[00:09:27] it did hit eight weeks, honestly, but unless, unless we do see a significant slow down, but so far I'm feeling good about it. Yeah. So far so good. I am in agreement on the AI arena. It ended
[00:09:39] up in a kind of a vicious blind side of Lisa and I say vicious in that, that for Lisa, this was very unexpected. Terrence, she, she seemed like genuinely hurt and seemed like incapable of even
[00:09:55] having a conversation with Julie tonight. We'll talk with Lisa tomorrow. Taryn and I will have an interview with Lisa and maybe she'll be in better spirits, but she just seemed to be in shock.
[00:10:06] Yeah. So you saw the part of the Lisa Angela feud, which included the walking and the, the twitting. So, so that was certainly part of it. That, that started a little while ago. Didn't,
[00:10:23] we didn't see the start of it, but it's been going on for a little while. And Lisa has felt very bullied by Angela in the house and has expressed this to a lot of people who have sympathized with
[00:10:34] her because they agree that they don't like what Angela is doing at the same time. They also don't like Lisa, but they're not telling her that in the same way that Angela is. However, Lisa, part of
[00:10:46] Lisa's pitch, the part of like the, the reason, like why she felt she was staying was that like, nobody's going to vote for Angela to stay over me after what she's done to me. That would be such
[00:10:57] an endorsement of her behavior. And there were people, players who felt like that's not a really fair argument to make. We're voting strategically, but it's how she felt. And so when the vote comes
[00:11:10] in 11 one, she very much feels like, wow, it was all just BS. Like they are endorsing Angela's, like Angela, like Angela staying over me. I think that was a large part of why she was so blindsided.
[00:11:24] Yeah. Haley, I thought it was interesting also that Lisa with Julie told you specifically, you know, it's such a charged word in reality TV, but she says that Angela bullied me in the house,
[00:11:39] which, you know, I don't know, like, it's a hard thing to sort of like pin down a definition of, but I feel like it's the kind of thing that we probably don't want to have in Big Brother. And,
[00:11:51] you know, Lisa comes out and just says it to Julie about how Angela treated her. Yeah. So, and I have like a couple of different schools of thoughts on this. The ones that I will
[00:12:03] kind of harp on here is I think as someone who's been in the house, it is the worst feeling isolated or excluded or just not part of the group is such a detrimental feeling because in the moment,
[00:12:20] it feels like the entire world is ending. Like I know that feeling. And so it's hard for me to watch someone go through that so blatantly of like her having to go into a corner, because there is
[00:12:30] nowhere to cry in there. Right. And so it's hard to watch just as like from a human perspective, no one wants to, if you have any kind of empathy at all, like that is a hard watch for someone to
[00:12:42] be experiencing those emotions. But on the flip side too, you know, as, as people who are watching the show and the game of Big Brother, the one thing that people always want and call for are
[00:12:53] the arguments and the back and forth. I think the problem with this one is that no one really was kind of standing up to Angela. And like for the Lisa Angela, we don't really see clips of Lisa
[00:13:07] getting to defend herself. She kind of did in this episode, we saw her turn around and be like, you know, what do you say? Don't say that about me. But she's not really standing as aggressively
[00:13:16] in like opposition to it. So it's almost like a one-sided thing, which I think becomes less fun to where both parties aren't engaging in it. Yeah, it was a hard watch for sure. But it's also,
[00:13:27] you know, at the end of the day, the Big Brother game, everyone's number one priority is winning. And so how they get there is very specific to their own season and their own character and cast.
[00:13:39] It's also, it's also very telling when Angela's response to all of this is it's Big Brother. I don't care. Like it's Big Brother because she's basically to me, like, you know how everyone's
[00:13:50] saying, Oh yeah, this is Big Brother. Yeah. Yes. How they say like Angela's saying that last night. They're like, Angela is planting herself. Like Angela's producing herself. Like, I think I kind
[00:14:05] of can see what she's doing. Maybe she thinks I'm not long for this. I'm just going to create great television. And her saying that kind of confirmed it for me, but no, like the clip of
[00:14:16] Lisa in the corner, in the storage room and the cameras like adjusting to like capture her at a right angle. And it looks like the camera's spinning, you know? And like, it kind of like
[00:14:26] makes it seem like Lisa's like spinning out. I kind of got that in that moment. I was like, I can only imagine what that feels like. It was very like artistic. Yeah.
[00:14:35] Yeah. Taryn, can you just reset for some folks like me who, yes, I know Angela and Lisa are both on the block, but why are they in a big fight? So unfortunately we don't know everything
[00:14:49] because a lot of this was cut from the feeds. But obviously Angela put Lisa on the block last week and Lisa did not feel very good about that and had an initial reaction that was very
[00:15:02] like volatile in Angela's eyes. And Angela was very frustrated by Lisa's reaction to her putting Lisa on the, to her being put on the block. And then they made up and they had this very like
[00:15:16] seemingly good conversation where for a second there, Lisa was like Angela's number one ally. And she was like, I know she has the power and now I'm working with her. And she reconsidered if she
[00:15:29] should put Matt on the block and Lisa was giving her some advice. And then it just kind of fell apart very quickly. And she didn't really go back to Lisa. And she felt like Lisa had spurned her,
[00:15:44] like Lisa was secretly working with Matt, which she kind of was because once Angela put Matt on the block, Lisa didn't want to go against the house and vote out Matt because she thought
[00:15:54] the house was voting to keep Matt because that's what Angela thought. And so Angela went to Lisa and said, hey, I thought you were going to be my person. And then, and I feel like you've abandoned
[00:16:06] me. To which Lisa said, well, I don't really feel like it's good for me to be associated with you in the game or outside of the game. So probably we should just end it here essentially.
[00:16:22] And then the feeds kind of cut, but they got into a big argument that we didn't see. And then ever since then, things have been very contentious. Angela didn't sing happy birthday to like her brother. And she says things like, Lisa, wipe that stupid smirk off your face.
[00:16:44] And so that's kind of been what's happening. And then them being both being on the block this week has not helped the situation. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Thanks for the backup. Do we have any suspicion
[00:16:57] about why? And we said we saw the whole incident with Angela from last night, but this was before any of that happened. So is there any speculation of why Lisa would not want to be associated with
[00:17:10] Angela outside? Was it because of the way that she treated Matt? It's my best guess. Because Matt, the way Matt talked about it was very much like, this is like a really bad thing that she did.
[00:17:23] And then for what it's worth, after the feeds went down during that argument, there was discussion about like, we're kind of surprised that they didn't kick Angela out. And we don't know why. Well, I mean, Matt did say in the exit interview, he did say that Lisa
[00:17:39] in particular was afraid to go to the bathroom because of Angela. Like she was tiptoeing around Angela. So I don't know. Yeah. And in fairness, Matt is very popular. So if Angela is not beloved
[00:17:55] on Facebook and so maybe that's why Lisa doesn't want to be associated with her. Hayley, can you compare a season such as this where it's like really like very fluid to a season like the one
[00:18:10] that you played on where the house was so divided? I don't know that I can. So I haven't watched in full since my season. So I don't have any recent knowledge and my older knowledge is very, very old.
[00:18:26] And so I can't even off the top of my head think of something because every season has some type of alliance that comes to mind. But with this one, I can't even pin down what's going on or who's
[00:18:37] actually taking the alliances that are serious. So no, I can't off the top of my head because I haven't watched any recent seasons. Julie couldn't even put five people up on the board to say this
[00:18:48] was the alliance. This was yeah. This was the group that masterminded you. Could you guess? Instead, she had to say they just thought you were a better player than Angela. Yeah. Yeah. This was a real I thought this was a stretch that Julie tried to give Lisa
[00:19:02] a silver lining about Lisa was so upset. Julie told her, would it make you feel better if the bottom line is you're too good at this game? You're better than they believe you're better.
[00:19:13] Yeah. At this game than Angela. She really had to parse it like you're not actually good at this game. She very quickly walked that back. Let's say you're good at it. It's also just like the love one another lady is not going to say they don't like you.
[00:19:30] I think she honestly, I think that Julie felt the same way that I felt of like, oh, I feel so bad watching this. Let me try to make her feel a little better.
[00:19:39] Like let me spin this in a positive way. The thing is at the end of the day, she's going to go home and watch this. She'll see what everyone was saying in the house. She'll see if she chooses
[00:19:47] to. So it's but I think Julie was trying to give her like a nice, a nice exit and make her feel better about the situation, because that's I mean, a blind side that I couldn't imagine something
[00:19:56] like that. Yeah. Sticking with the fight between Angela and Lisa, when did this happen, Taryn? This was probably two days ago. Yeah. And what had the vibe been like between those two in the days leading up to the eviction? I mean, it's it's not been great. They've
[00:20:19] not really interacted much, basically ever since the I don't want to be associated with you. They've been very like standoffish with each other. Angela in general is like, like very isolated from the house, especially after the Quinn fight. She really isolated herself
[00:20:37] from the rest of the house, like not really talking to a lot of people until some of the campaigning that she was doing because she was convinced that she was being voted out. And then like, you know, starting to try to reveal Quinn's power and stuff like that.
[00:20:53] But but then again, any time she saw Lisa or interacted with her, it was very much along the lines of wipe this mark off your face. Yeah. Well, yeah, this was a memorable insult that was lobbed at Lisa tonight. I'm sure you do, you little twit.
[00:21:12] Well, that's like a very like old timey, like I feel like almost like a British insult. You don't hear that every day. Not a British insult. A British insult. I feel like a British insult would also be like use words that we can't air on television.
[00:21:30] But no, I felt like I feel like Angela, my hypothesis of her, like I said earlier, I think she's self-producing. She's self-producing like crazy. Like she knows she's on TV. It's my
[00:21:42] moment. I'm out of here soon. It's my moment. But also I feel like this is just how Angela is in her day to day. Like she's like, you pissed me off. You're a twit. Like it's just
[00:21:52] going to be like that. And maybe other people, well, not maybe certainly other people are not that they're like, I don't approach my life like that. And Angela does and that's fine.
[00:22:02] But we don't have to get along with her. And that's kind of the vibe that I'm getting. It's too size of the token. Yeah, Rob, I had to Google this. So I Googled twit. Yeah. And what came up
[00:22:13] was this site called X run by some guy called Elon Musk. So I think I can understand why at least would be pretty offended by. I then I then re-Googled it just to be sure.
[00:22:28] And in my second Google, I got the informal British definition of a silly or foolish person. Yeah. Yeah. Typically a woman. I feel like a twit. Okay. Oh, it's not as bad as I thought it was.
[00:22:43] No, I thought it was much more insulting in my head. It was derogatory. Lisa said it was derogatory. Yeah. I don't know. Turns out the verb, which you can say twitting if you want, is to tease or talk to somebody, especially in a good way. Okay.
[00:23:00] Twitting. Yeah. See? Good humored way. Maybe maybe Angela, this is how Angela approaches things in her. I don't know. Okay. She's a different one. We saw earlier in the episode, there was a lot of discussion about the power. Who has the power? And Haley,
[00:23:15] I do think there is a similar function here in BB 26 as there was in the early days of BB 20 of the power ups. Who has the power ups? What do they do? Tucker is on the case. We saw him last night
[00:23:33] go to McKenzie and he was able to get her to tell him about the power ups or the upgrade powers. Tonight, he said he was about to go and... I'm going to sniff it out of her, yeah.
[00:23:47] He's going to sniff it out of Lisa. He is a body language expert. He worked for the CIA, right? He does. Yeah. That's what he said. Yeah. Tell the guy. And he feels like he got it. He cracked the case.
[00:24:06] Yeah. I mean, Haley, can you relate to the psychology studying? Can you also read body language like Tucker can? I think Tucker, the one thing that I will agree with him on is that his comment about McKenzie almost feeling too comfortable. And it wasn't
[00:24:27] really something I even registered to think about, but that's so true because when people do have these powers that especially... Well, maybe not McKenzie's more so Quinn probably, but these powers give you this sense of security more so. You're not just free floating without anything.
[00:24:44] So that would be the one thing that I would say would have... If I knew to look for it, I can't even claim that I would know to look for something like that. But that was really
[00:24:51] smart of him because looking back at behaviors now, hindsight's 20-20, typically people with those powers do behave a little bit more calmly, a more reassured game. But he also was 100% convinced Lisa had it. He just hates her. I think he just wanted her to have another excuse.
[00:25:13] Can we be fair to Tucker and say that Lisa was essentially playing two truths and a lie? Because I don't know how much of this was in the episode, but he was also accusing her of not being
[00:25:25] a chef. And to the best of our knowledge, she is actually a chef and she doesn't actually have a power, but she did lie about voting for Matt. So is it possible that the lie for Matt was just
[00:25:37] setting off the lie detector and then he was applying it to everything? Yeah. I'm good with that. I love me some Tucker. I'm so thrilled that Tucker... That's the other drink. I'm thrilled that he's become like a main character. Because at first I was like,
[00:25:53] they're hiding him in the edit. Come on, don't do this like they did to Izzy. I hate this. Well, Lavinia, I think this is a very interesting question from a meta perspective of the show. I
[00:26:04] think that the show really put a lot of eggs in the Matt basket in week one. Matt was, I think, the main character of the show. And then when Matt went out in week one, they lost their main
[00:26:18] character. I felt like especially in the Sunday episode, I felt like that they were without a focus of what to do. And I think that when the editors have their main character that they can
[00:26:30] go back to, I think that they feel like they have a better sense of where to go with the story. I think that we're starting to see Tucker emerge as the production main character. I'm good with that. I'm okay with that. I mean, he's kind of like...
[00:26:45] I feel like it would have happened anyways because Matt's doing his thing if Matt had stayed. Tucker's still going to be this. So there's no way that they wouldn't get to it at some point,
[00:26:55] but you're right. I can definitely see how Matt was the early favorite for that, to be in that spot, but they weren't going to be able to hide him for very long. Yeah. You can't hide that.
[00:27:05] It's been a breakout week really for, I mean, for Tucker who would like had no airtime really coming into this week from Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday dominated the airtime. Yes. I am so excited about it too. It's early. I will say it's really early.
[00:27:21] I'd kind of rather him been introduced kind of mid season because I do get worried when they do fixate on players at the beginning because we don't always see them at the end. But I have loved
[00:27:33] Tucker since the very first interview I watched of him, he's just such a character and there's... I am entertained when he's on the screen and that's what I'm asking for when I watched reality
[00:27:44] TV. He's just entertaining. He's funny. Most of the things that come out of his mouth, A, I would have never expected and B, I think are humorous. So I really like watching him and I
[00:27:55] think that... I do worry his personality is really big and I don't know if it will be able to coast all the way to the end, but I hope to see him go far. I really do.
[00:28:07] Taron, he's very interesting because he is really like a knockout in the diary room and he's really good there. And he seems to be well liked in the house, but strategically, is he really in the middle of things? He is in the middle of things to some degree.
[00:28:26] But is he driving things? Well, Rob, he volunteered for the block. No. Yeah. Oh no. No, of course. I mean, it may be he's like pulling the car with a rope or something.
[00:28:44] Yeah. See, I kind of feel like that he could be sort of like a first version of Paul, like who didn't really know what he was doing, sort of just was like, you know, going along and then like maybe later on in the season, like,
[00:28:56] you know, a few breaks go his way and he ends up in the end game. But he's, I feel like more of a TV personality than he is like a real force in the game.
[00:29:08] Yeah, I think that's pretty fair. And luckily, you know, we're learning a lot about Tucker. You know, he likes biscuits. Yep. And he likes puzzles. I really like puzzles, baby! Yeah. I was waiting to get to that.
[00:29:26] I couldn't understand him at first. I was like, what the hell is he saying? And then I was like, oh, he's saying I really like puzzles. Yeah. He's like a five-year-old that's just discovered toys or something.
[00:29:39] How would you feel if every podcast I just kind of, I really like podcasts, baby! I mean, I like podcasts, Rob! Yeah, I think if you could do it and not put your hair into cornrows, I think I'd be good with it.
[00:29:57] I mean, I wasn't even gonna do that. So it's fine. When they showed the three people on the block in the beginning, like on the screen with Julie, I thought that was Christian from BB23. Did anyone else in the chat get that? Because that's
[00:30:13] the first person I thought it was. Yeah. It was giving Bowie Jane hairstyle because she used to wear the pigtails and stuff. Yes. Perfect. Yeah. Entertainment!
[00:31:24] I want to talk about Angela also here tonight because this was a blindside on Angela as well, where Angela thought she was going home for sure. Nobody was more surprised to see Lisa be evicted than Angela. Taryn, they told Angela she was safe and she didn't believe them.
[00:31:50] Yeah. Nobody was more surprised than Angela, but not for trying for the rest of the house. They've all been telling her. It's almost as if she was determined to be surprised when she stayed.
[00:32:06] If she hadn't actively ruined any chance of her joining a big alliance in the first week, I would have told you that this was all put on so that she could have a big moment in the
[00:32:17] eviction episode. But this does actually feel like it's just genuinely her. She just actually does consistently believe that she's at the bottom of things and that the worst thing is going to happen to her. But yeah, I think in Angela's mind, similar to what happened with
[00:32:33] Matt where she convinced the whole house to stop being under Matt's control, she convinced the entire house to vote to keep her at the last minute by promising some things.
[00:32:44] I won't ever freak out again like I did. I love you. I want to stay. I really want to stay. She did it. She did it. What a speech. Great speech. Haley, we saw Lisa get evicted 11 to 1, but if there's one thing about Angela,
[00:33:00] she's not going to let a moment pass without taking an opportunity to make it all about Angela. And this is the moment of Angela staying. I was wondering if anyone else was going to pick up on that, but it's
[00:33:16] cameras focusing in on Lisa and we hear sobs from the background, actual sobs of joy, I'm assuming. Yeah, she's going to seize the moment. And that is one thing you can always count on is she will seize the moment to give entertainment value of some sort.
[00:33:36] So yeah, Rob, I remember back in BB 19 when Paul talking about Paul again used to, you know, after every eviction be like, hey, hey guys, big accomplishment, making it to the final eight, making it to the final five, so on and so forth.
[00:33:53] And people are like, wow, Paul, really? Angela stands there as if she has a crowd of adoring fans going speech, speech, speech, except it's a bunch of people who are just staring blankly at her
[00:34:11] as she goes. Well, if you insist, I just I'm so grateful for you guys. You know, it's just I'm living my dream here on Big Freaking Brother. Freaking brother. It's incredibly it's captivating to watch somebody say, wow, you guys did this for me.
[00:34:31] And everyone's just blankly like, yeah, totally. Yeah. Did you see Tucker's face? The blank stare that Tucker was giving? He almost couldn't believe what was happening. Like I was looking at him and Regina.
[00:34:44] All right. Well, how far can this go? Lavinia, like how many more weeks of Angela do we get? I mean, realistically, it's not going to go further than max two if she survives this. What if she wins H two more weeks is maximum. What if she wins each?
[00:35:01] What if we get off here? What if the chat tells us we get age? All right. Well, that the feeds I from what the Chess are up right now, we expect them to have some kind of competition in the next little bit, which some people are speculating could
[00:35:14] be physical competition, maybe maybe endurance. Here we go. But should we be expecting Quinn to be using his deep fake H.O.H. power tonight? And if so, who is the most likely target to be
[00:35:33] targeted by the deep fake H.O.H. power? I think he would love to not use it, and I think he will do everything in his power to avoid using his power. So so I if I had to guess,
[00:35:48] I would say no, he's not going to use it tonight. However, there are some exceptions. I think that if, say, Kenny were to win the H.O.H., I think that chemo especially would be like, Quinn,
[00:36:01] you have to use this. Like we have no idea what Kenny is going to do. And maybe like an MJ kind of situation. Theoretically, he could be a little worried about that. But I think most other people he'll probably feel pretty comfortable with and probably will not want
[00:36:19] to use it, especially now that there's already heat on him. Oh, of course. How could I forget Angela if she were to win? I wanted to win. Use the power against her. But yeah.
[00:36:32] Pull it out, Queen. Yeah. Yeah. So if we get a physical comp, do you think that Quinn will be less likely to use the the I'm sorry, I almost said hacker power, Haley, to use the H.O.H. power?
[00:36:46] Wow, Rob. Sorry. Sorry. These are the deep, big H.O.H. like is there anything that like where it's like, OK, well, this wasn't rolling a ball up the hill. If somebody does the wall comp and wins it
[00:36:58] like that'd be pretty. Oh, no. I mean, if Kenny wins it, whether it's a wall comp or rolling a ball into a hole, you got to use it. You got to use it if you got to use it. And as I say,
[00:37:09] if Angela wins it after the most dramatic, impressive display of winning a wall comp that we have ever seen. It's like, listen, if they can take away cams H.O.H. after the pressure
[00:37:22] cooker in 14 hours, Quinn can take away Angela's physical H.O.H. Yeah. Yeah. Haley, do you feel like that this is a little bit of a throwback, this deep fake H.O.H. to the hacker? No, I don't
[00:37:39] ever want to think about the hacker ever again. It haunts my dreams. I'm kidding. Yes, it is a throwback for sure. Obviously with more power, but it's giving the same vibes. But I like I like
[00:37:54] a that I'm not involved in this and B that it's at the beginning of the season as opposed to the middle where my hacker competition ruined and derailed a lot of things for me in the middle.
[00:38:06] I think that the beginning is a good time for powers like these to be used because it's early enough that it can kind of set the stage for beneficial and you can kind of you can get
[00:38:17] back on track if it did mess your game up. But I feel like once it gets a little deeper, if these moves they're more detrimental. So I like that it's earlier as opposed to the hacker was
[00:38:27] what it towards the end. No, it's middle. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Roughly middle. Roughly when the season got back. Yeah. Haley, can you remind me, what was the theme of BB 20? Because I feel like
[00:38:38] there's also like like it was a I wasn't invented yet, but there was like there were apps, there were robots. Do y'all know the thing? I don't know. I feel like it was it was a climbing wall in the
[00:38:52] tech. Yeah, I don't I don't really know what the theme was. A lot of a lot of tech, a lot of social media. Yeah. Like aspects of it. We had a rock climbing wall. I don't know. I don't know. I've
[00:39:07] never watched. There were emojis. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Emojis. It was like a I don't really remember. I'll have to look up of what the actual what they called it. But it was like something
[00:39:16] if they ever called it anything. I think they just made it up as they went in there. Like, how can we ruin this woman's game? She goes. Yeah, very rude. OK. Sam says it was called
[00:39:27] interactive technology was the theme of each one. So like kind of the same thing without knowing about A.I. yet. Yeah. We didn't know what that was. Right. We didn't we didn't know what it was.
[00:39:40] OK. We started talking about Tucker being on the scent of Lisa with the power ups. We saw Angela finally trying to come out and tell Tucker, hey, Quinn is a snake in the grass.
[00:39:55] Taryn do not trust him. Somehow hearing the diary room thought process for this plan made it even worse than I thought it was where I like I thought she was just being kind of like vindictive and
[00:40:11] unintentionally tanking her chances of staying potentially, whereas this was fully an intentional strategic move where she thought that if she made Quinn aware that she was trying to spill his secret, that he'd be more likely to want to keep her. And and and she was telling Tucker because
[00:40:33] she figured it would get back to Quinn via Tucker because Tucker maybe already knew or like was would be wanting to work with Quinn to protect Quinn and therefore keep her. The person that's
[00:40:48] trying to out Quinn is having the power and saying he betrayed me and I want him gone so that they'd want to keep her when she's doing that, as opposed to wanting her out, which is what happens,
[00:40:59] which is that Quinn wanted her out after that. And the only reason she stayed is because a lot of people still thought that Lisa had the power, which she was trying to convince people that she
[00:41:07] didn't. It's an interesting approach. It's not really an approach. It's just it's just doing something. Yeah. Which is Angela's whole game. Also, Quinn being out there and her basically doing it in front of him. Still going. Yeah. She wanted him to know that she was outing his power.
[00:41:26] Why not just tell them? Why not say, hey, I'm going to out your power if you X, Y, Z. Right. I mean, I liked Quinn in the diary and being like, I'm a perceptive guy. So I caught what was going
[00:41:37] on. The reality of that scene on the feeds was Angela's being like, so Tucker, I've got some things that I don't want to have to say. Yes. Tucker, like you have to be very perceptive with Angela. The part that was really confusing to me, though, was then
[00:41:56] then Tucker was in a room with Lisa and Robina and Joseph talking about this and talking about how Angela is saying that Quinn has the power. And Lisa's like, no, she's lying. She's a liar. Gameplay's not a thing. Strategic thought in the house is not a thing.
[00:42:20] Unless you're like, I don't know, T-Core. Yeah. I mean, she's proven to be a little unhinged. So it's a fair comment to throw of like, no, she's just that's not true. Making it up for sure.
[00:42:32] Hold on. Is she playing 4D chess here? Because everything she says, Tucker thinks is a lie. So if she says, no, Quinn doesn't have the power, Tucker will be like, hold on. Wait a minute.
[00:42:48] Some CIA training is coming in. I'm getting some signals. You're lying to me, Lisa. Quinn does have the power? That has to be it. That's probably what's happening. There's a lot of logic in this house. All right. We had our AI Arena competition.
[00:43:10] Taryn, you feel like that this was getting a little physical? It's hard to tell how hard it was to move these pieces around. I think the result is the biggest piece of evidence that
[00:43:22] Tucker finished this competition, I think before either of the other ones had finished a single piece. Yeah. This wasn't a puzzle per se as much as Tucker likes them. This was more a grab big pieces and then put them down in specific ways the fastest. And so,
[00:43:45] you know, Tucker who's carrying two pieces at a time against Lisa, who's dragging one piece to the middle. It was it was a pretty done deal the second it started. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Haley,
[00:43:57] I haven't seen somebody from where Angela's pace was going. I haven't seen somebody do a six piece puzzle that slowly in about six years. You know what? She did her absolute best. And in her defense,
[00:44:10] she's a tiny human. But yes, that was a tough one. I even was like I had voted her. I think I voted her out and I was like, come on, you have it, Kaitlin. You got to get it together.
[00:44:24] But she did the best she could and I will die on this hill. She really did try. Yeah. No doubt. I think there was I don't know if she said this or if it was like a rumor, but someone like in
[00:44:34] production after we all got off the show had told her that they were under the influence. They took an intern that was under the influence and had them put it together to make sure that it could
[00:44:44] like get done. And he did it in time, like under the time. And she did not know that. Yeah. I don't I don't even remember if that was something that she had shared or if it was like a rumor. But yeah,
[00:44:56] that adrenaline and stress will do crazy things to you. But yeah, this this definitely the physical component gave him the leg up for sure. For sure. For sure. OK. Do we think what if if was there, Taryn, was there conversation that if Lisa had won, what was happening?
[00:45:15] Angela would have been OK. Yeah. OK. OK. There was never any there was like a brief suggestion before Tucker even went on the block where basically Quinn suggested to T-Core and Kimo like,
[00:45:28] should we vote out Tucker if we have the chance? And they're both like, no, probably not. And that was like that was I get he went on the block. It was never discussed.
[00:45:35] OK. All right. So everybody comes back into the house and you knew there was going to be a rousing ovation for Tucker coming in the winner of the AI comp. This is a
[00:45:47] It's nothing. Yeah. It's a nothing like I don't understand why they did it in the way that they did this time to like, come on down, guys. Yeah. Go strategize. Go. Go. Yeah. Before we get to
[00:46:02] that. So they just like wandering around and then they go to the AI comp and they're like, OK, I'm going to vote for you. And then they're like, OK, I'm going to vote for you. And then
[00:46:14] wandering around and then they come in. Everybody's cheering. And then Julie tells them, OK, now is the time. You have 60 seconds to pull people into rooms. We can't hear anything
[00:46:27] anybody is saying at all. And it's also 60s. By the time you get a group to go to a room, you're already over halfway done. You have 30. You should have had these conversations pre right now.
[00:46:40] And I don't know because she was very adamant. She was like, guys, go like go to do. This is my favorite running gag of the season where I that nobody's ever going to strategize and Julie is
[00:46:52] going to be annoyed every week. I guess. And Lisa, both of you are feeling very confident because neither one of you pulled anyone into a separate room to try and campaign to stay.
[00:47:04] So, you know, I know she said that. I missed her to the tone. I feel like their intention is for it to be like a a double eviction where they're pulling people like, OK,
[00:47:16] I'll talk. I'll talk. I'll talk with you like, you know, in this room. But they're not going to do that because they're going to be too busy. There's like 50 of them in there. First of all, second of all, they all want to congratulate each other. Congratulate Tucker. Hey,
[00:47:26] it's going to be OK, Angela. It's going to be OK, Lisa. They're not going to strategize. Yeah. No, it's not like things change like we don't come into the live show on Thursday and
[00:47:37] people are like at the last second, like, hey, you guys are trying to save me like. Exactly. Yeah. I mean, that's a huge component of it that like they've already planned for. Again, as Kimo said, there's not a million options. This is really just three. And so
[00:47:55] they kind of know what they're going to do. So there's not really a point in campaigning to begin with. But in addition to that, the humor of this is is the fact that Julie is just like
[00:48:05] you have 60 seconds. Yeah. Go do an entire campaign. And they're just like talking. She's like, guys, you now have 45 seconds. Why aren't you? Do you want to even stay at this point?
[00:48:20] And it's like, what do you think? What do you expect? You did this. This is you, not them. Yeah. Because it's not a double eviction. We're on the double eviction. Somebody's just won the
[00:48:30] veto. Things are changing. You can see. Don't put me on the block. Don't put me on the block. It's like the people that are on the block are still on the block. It's just one less person is on
[00:48:38] the block. Yeah. You know that the directors in the control room ready to switch cams to the to the bedroom like he's ready, but like they're not going to again, they're not going to do that because they're too distracted by congratulating whoever just won the arena.
[00:48:52] There's everyone has to hug. This is what would happen if Lisa pulled one person to go talk privately in a room. Everyone else in the living room would go. So yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we got to get to everybody's votes that there was one vote that
[00:49:14] wasn't for Lisa. There was a Kenny votes to evict Angela. Karen, is that Kenny is left out of the vote? Does he still have an ax to grind with Angela from week one? Rob, Kenny doesn't care. Yeah. Yeah. 750 isn't worth it. Voting with the house isn't worth it.
[00:49:35] Not winning H.O.H. isn't worth it. Kenny's going to do what Kenny's going to do. Yeah. OK, well, can we talk a little bit about Kenny? Because, OK, here we go. And another another similarity was, of course, that back in BB 20, it was summer Steve 2018.
[00:49:52] He cared, though he cared, he cared, OK? I will I will go down on this hill. He cared. And I never once heard him ever, ever say like, I just want to go home. I want to quit. I just
[00:50:08] I just want to go take a bath. Yeah. The only similarity is that it's the the casting archetype, but he cared and Kenny just does not seem to unless it's just this undercover trick that he's
[00:50:25] playing of like, let me just beg them to send me home and they reverse psychology won't do it. Like, let me tell them I don't want to be here. I hate it. And they'll be like,
[00:50:32] ha ha. Let's keep him in. Maybe that's what he's doing. Maybe he's smarter than we give him credit for. Mm hmm. Nope. He's going to win H.O.H., you guys. He's going to win. He this is like a very
[00:50:47] common trope to where like in the first week it none of it was like, oh, I don't know about that. It was all about like, listen, this is a hundred percent for Matt. You know, I'm just yeah,
[00:51:01] I'm just being selfless here. You know, I just think Matt really deserves it. You know what I mean? So I'm just going to listen. I'm just going to take this bullet for Matt, my guy.
[00:51:11] It's all from oh, he's gone. My family, though, like I'm really I want to because I got to go for my family. Yeah, they're probably missing me. So I got a dip. Sorry. Wasn't he reading
[00:51:30] the rule book today? Yeah. What was he looking for? He's looking for any loophole. How can I get out of this house? Yeah. So we'll see. I do love the scenario if he wins the H.O.H. and then
[00:51:47] gets deep fake H.O.H. and then just that'll be great. That'll be perfect. So can he really not bring anything to the table? He's the one vote for Angela. A couple of interesting votes here
[00:52:01] tonight. Also, when people came through, we saw Quinn again. Haley, you did so much to get people to compliment Julie. But Quinn, Julie, you look sick. You look exquisite yourself. Thank you, Quinn. Wow. You definitely said exquisite. You used exquisite. That's why he's shouting me out
[00:52:25] there. She wrote the tape back. She wrote them all down. Yeah. Yeah. See, I set a trend. I mean, I don't think sick was ever a word I used. He planned that. He he he talked about it. He was
[00:52:39] he had he went through some options. He landed on sick. Yeah. What were the other options, Taryn? I don't know. I'm not going to listen to him talk about options. There's no he did. And Brad Joseph had an interesting shout out tonight.
[00:52:56] A vote to evict Lisa. Thank you. Catch Young Cedric Tuesdays at 830 on CBS. Paraplasty. I thought it was Young Cedric, for starters. He's he said Cedric Tuesdays. Young Cedric Tuesdays on CBS. Oh, I heard something totally different. I mean,
[00:53:17] OK, we're good. First off, the real Cedric is already pretty young. That's that's that's that's the whole thing. Yeah. It's not like Cedric. Yes. It's not like current Cedric narrating the story of like middle school Cedric.
[00:53:33] What is narrating his time in the Marines? Is this in reference to their their movie production that they put on on the film? Oh, is this based on a movie? Got it. Or they're putting on like
[00:53:46] a short short film show. Yeah. I love it. I'm following. Yeah. So yeah, but not much else going on here in the votes. Any other votes stand out tonight? I directly saw I thought maybe I'm wrong on this, but in the live section, Quinn directly looked at
[00:54:09] Lisa and said, you're good, gave her a hug. And so let me just say that that did he threw me for the biggest loop because I swear I thought I saw him say that you can't there's no audio,
[00:54:21] but he's holding her like this by the shoulders and he's like, you're good and hugs her and then turns around and does that. So I will say that is the one thing that did throw me on this.
[00:54:31] I was like, wait, maybe not. Yeah, I know that too. I actually in the moment was wondering if he was telling her it's you. But then she was so surprised that now I'm now I'm like,
[00:54:43] maybe you're right. Maybe he was promising that she was. I'm not. I don't know. Yeah. Also, people in the chat bring up Quinn said that he was voting for Lisa for some reason. Do we know
[00:54:52] what that some reason is? He just he just didn't have the social capital to flip the vote. He would have loved to vote. OK, we're voting because she was trying to out his power. Yes. Otherwise,
[00:55:04] it would have been fine with Angela. Yeah. We then got to see Lisa come out and we have this segment with Julie. But really, there was very little of note I felt like here with and with Lisa and Julie.
[00:55:24] Very somber. She was. I think she was not prepared. I think tomorrow will be better. I'm very curious to see if there's an extended cut the way that they did with Matt. If there
[00:55:34] if she's going to even attempt to tell Lisa about world events, I would hope not. But either that, I'm very curious to see the goodbye messages. But yeah, I think she was very. Yeah. And or
[00:55:48] upset. I think she was just in shock. Right. We always root for blind sides. We want there to be blind sides. But I kind of feel like that maybe the interview with Julie is like a better conversation
[00:56:01] when the person like has some time to prep for what that's like. I mean, Rob, the interview with Julie is rarely worth it anyway. It's really fun. You know, I remember like Heisem last season
[00:56:15] like came out and was like really good in that spot. Like, you know, I feel like it's like they're into it a little bit. Yeah, I think at that point, the defeat, unless they know that
[00:56:29] there is a possibility of a battle back, the defeat just kills any kind of entertainment factor. Yeah. From what I've seen. She represented herself authentically, Lavinia. We can't take that away from her. Yeah, I would do the same thing. Listen, like I think I would do exactly
[00:56:48] what she was doing. I would say I don't want to do the interview at all. Thank you. She declared herself the winner. Also, she's going to walk away with that. So thank you.
[00:57:01] Thank you, Lisa. No, not for her. I want to go back to Tucker again because Tucker's seem to then go and be the person to go and open the door for her. Lavinia was Tucker trolling here
[00:57:19] that he was the one to sort of to send her to send her out. And then he was like doing like a little bit of like a dance as she was walking out of the house.
[00:57:29] I mean, Rob, we maybe he took a took a page from Tamar Braxton. I don't know. But like we saw when she when when she got put up that face that he made and the zoom in that they did. That was not
[00:57:42] the beauty of editing. That was that was the beauty of Tucker. Like I think he he's just like I like I finally got her out and this is my doing. I won the arena. I'm having it. Tucker's having a good
[00:57:53] night. He's having a great night. I would just like to take this. Yeah, I would like to take this opportunity to say that Tucker is definitively a better chef than me and I will never challenge
[00:58:02] him on his chefdom in any way. He's a great guy. I will never use glitter around him. And please don't hate me because, man, he holds a grudge. So I'm scared to say anything bad. I don't want
[00:58:16] to get bullied when he gets out. No, not bullied. There's that word. Sorry, sorry, sorry. All right, we're going to the H.O.H. competition tonight. I know I heard you on the life update
[00:58:28] talk about that a lot of the house guests are vying for this H.O.H. Who are some names to watch tonight? I mean, I do think a lot of people are going to try to win this one. So I think in terms
[00:58:43] of what could happen, anybody in the visionaries sort of side of things like Quinn, T-Core, Kimo, maybe even Rubina. That I think would help solidify that group and then we'll see how that
[00:58:58] group shapes up. Then you sort of have like the Pentagon members, so like a Cedric or Cam or even to some degree Brooklyn if they win. I think you might see the Pentagon continue
[00:59:12] on forward and then the visionaries might be a little bit of a side project happening. And then you have some of the more wildcard entries. You've got MJ, Leah, Kenny, Angela. If they win, it's a bit of a free for all or Quinn uses his power.
[00:59:29] Haley, do you have a scenario you're especially rooting for this week? No, but I did just realize the one that I don't want to happen. I didn't realize this until we were talking through scenarios. I really don't want Rubina to win it because I think she's in
[00:59:44] a really good spot and I think she could go without winning for a little while. I like her. I like her a lot. And that just occurred to me that I don't want to see that.
[00:59:55] I think for all entertainment purposes, I would love to see Quinn have to use his power. And I would like to see a situation to where MK has to get her power involved too. Just for a viewer standpoint, this is going to tank everyone's game,
[01:00:14] but I would love to see it happen. I was just going to say, I feel like MJ and Leah have been very sleepy. I want to see something. I want to see something more. I haven't seen anything about them. And to some extent,
[01:00:31] that's a good thing for them because they could have easily been the targets this week. But I would like to see more. What I want to see is Kenny win HOH. Celebrate. Oh man, that competition. I was like, I did this
[01:00:46] thing and then, oh man, I made the decision to do this thing and what a great competition that was. Oh man, this game is pretty fun. I mean, I'll probably leave eventually, but yeah,
[01:00:57] this is going to be a fun HOH. And then he goes to do noms and instead of his, the faces he put in there, it's like, oh, move to the living room. Hologram thing. It's a hologram Kenny. And he's like, what's happening? And hologram Kenny says,
[01:01:11] hey guys, I'm a cop. I'm a cop from Boston. And I'm putting up Angela and whoever else I want. And he just goes, oh, well, whatever then. I'm out of here. I was going to say, he's putting himself on that block and he's putting himself alone.
[01:01:33] Free pennies. That's the real one, not a deepfake, LaVena. Yeah. It'd be wild if the deepfake knew that he was an undercover cop. Yeah. That'd be pretty good intel. Tucker must've sussed out that information.
[01:01:47] Well, didn't Cedric clock it? Like episode one? He did, but he hasn't talked about it again. Okay. Okay. So yeah, that would be ideal. Do we think that there's a chance that if we see
[01:01:59] one power up use that they both get used the same week, that'd be a pretty exciting week. That'd be cool. That'd be really cool. I think probably not considering, I mean, I don't think Quinn has it out for Mackenzie.
[01:02:12] Yeah. I guess next week if they both expire, would Mackenzie then just use it to use it before it expires? She preferred not to use it because of the unknown of who America might nominate. Okay. All right. Well, let's take some questions from the chat here tonight.
[01:02:33] GottaGoPack, of course, if you have questions, you can ask them now, especially if you have questions for Haley, we'd love to hear them. GottaGoPack says, we know volunteering to be a pawn makes you a twit already, but if Angela tells them how easily Tucker won,
[01:02:50] does his target start to increase? Haley, do you think that people are going to start looking at Tucker like, oh, he won the comps? That person literally read my mind because as soon also, he didn't just win. He obliterated the competition. Literally, like you said earlier, they hadn't
[01:03:07] even really gotten a chance to get their first tile on. He didn't just win, he won by a landslide. If they relay or if Angela, I guess, relays that information, A, who I hope,
[01:03:21] maybe no one will believe it because they didn't believe that, you know, her story about Quinn. But yeah, because me personally, if I would have seen that, I'm alarmed. Like that is a competition
[01:03:34] he will win. I could see him beating me in every single comp except like a word comp. I think the real danger here too is that he's keep saying this. I really like puzzles, baby. Like when Tucker comes in and says, I just crushed a puzzle competition. Yeah.
[01:03:56] They didn't see it. They didn't see how much physicality was there. They just now are hearing not only is he a very physical guy, but he also just crushed two people in a what they probably assumed to be fairly mental competition.
[01:04:11] And mind you, literally offered himself up to do it because he had such confidence he was going to win. And that's also terrifying. Yeah. Okay. Patti has a question. Did anybody else hear Leah say she left me her glitter? I did not catch that. I did.
[01:04:30] The glitter lives on. To Tucker's dismay, it's staying in the house, baby. Oh no. Lisa needs, Leah needs to give that away ASAP. That stuff is cursed. That's so funny. I didn't hear that.
[01:04:46] Okay. How about a question? This is for Haley. A super awesome person says who's Haley's winner pick? Stop. Can I give you like a top three? Yeah. Okay. T-Core. Okay. I have it pulled up. I'm looking through. Do you have a spreadsheet? Joseph. I've been keeping some job.
[01:05:14] Joseph. Okay. Joseph. I think he's going to sneak up and I'm hesitant. I want to say Rubina just because I like her so much, but I think we're going to either see a Tucker or a Cam. Those are my three.
[01:05:28] Those are right now the three that I think will make it at least top five. So write it down. We'll check back in. I think those three get top five. Okay. Somebody clip it. We'll save it for the end of the season. Okay. All right.
[01:05:43] Haley, how about if you were in the house, who would you want to work with? Which house guest seems most similar to you when you played? Honestly, I would want to be aligned probably with Tucker just because I do gravitate to his
[01:05:59] charisma. I would want to work with Rubina. The people that I'm saying that I really like, I truly would probably want to work with them. If I'm comparing myself, I heard this is like a lot
[01:06:12] of people said this, which is really strange to me because I didn't get the vibes, but apparently I was a little like flirty. And so Leah gave some flirty vibes too. I mean, that's allegations, fully allegations. Allegedly.
[01:06:28] And I also, one of the things I really regret is not taking an active role in the game. And I feel like that's a lot of what Leah is falling into. And so I would compare probably
[01:06:38] my game to hers. Haley, would you ever play Big Brother again? Because at the time, so many people said, many people on this podcast also like, oh, Haley has come into the game so young,
[01:06:51] but imagine she plays six years down the road. We said specifically six. It's weird that we said that. That is weird. Six or maybe seven now. I would do it again under certain, I would need to
[01:07:13] really, really do some soul searching because the only reason I would be going back is to prove that I can win and do better. It wouldn't even be for the money, which is disgusting to say, but it
[01:07:28] would be an ego thing of like, no, let me show you 27 versus 21. But I would really need to do some soul searching to see if I wanted to offer myself up like that again. Because it really does,
[01:07:41] the game is a really huge magnifying glass of self-reflection and kind of making you go through some psyche stuff. So I would have to really sit with myself and deep talk because I also,
[01:07:53] I don't know, my life's pretty great right now and to risk shaking it up like that, I would really, really have to soul search and be confident. Also, CBS would have to get some deep pockets.
[01:08:07] That's right. But yes, I will say that I'm finally past my, it was really hard for me off the show when people would ask me that. I was like, absolutely not because it was so fresh and new
[01:08:17] and I was so young and I was just sitting up all night like, oh, I should have done this. How did I not see? But I'm finally at a spot now where I'm like more lenient on myself of like, I was 21.
[01:08:27] I was doing the best I could. I had good reads. I would go back but only for the sole purpose to win it and do better. So that's my answer to that. And I don't even know if that was a full answer.
[01:08:40] It was a great answer. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Mohammed has a question. Okay. Why did Julie say, who will Robina vote for her own sanity? Is there something that we missed on the feed? Sorry. Did you catch that?
[01:08:54] Did you catch that? This whole thing, I'm getting sick of this whole Julie statement before everyone votes thing because it's like BS and that's a perfect example of just making something up to say something because maybe she's just trying to attribute it to like,
[01:09:08] oh, Angela is driving everyone crazy and Robina is just one of those people. I don't know. They're all nuts. She's like, Leah has said she wants a woman to win the game. Well,
[01:09:18] two women are on the block, so she won't be able to. What are we even talking about? Just I'd rather have dead air at this point. Like I've respectfully Julie Chen Moonves, but like now I just can't. Also who taught all these players
[01:09:32] shout outs in between last week and this week? Like when did that happen? They were nervous before and now they're not. Yeah. And Cedric, I don't even think knows how to do shout outs right because he voted and then he was like, and then after he voted,
[01:09:47] it's like I sadly vote to make Lisa's like Julie, you look great. You know, you're supposed to tell Julie she looks good before you do the vote. No, I appreciate. I appreciate Cedric's attempt there. He was doing his shout outs like on the
[01:10:01] way out the door. Like that's better. That's better for me. Yeah. On the way. Yeah. Okay. Let's see. Taylor said, I desperately need to see Taryn with cornrows now. Oh my God. Wait, listen. Rob said no. You're saying there's a chance.
[01:10:24] Yeah. Oh man. I just, I totally would. It's just that Rob said no. And it's just like, man, Rob, why do you, why are you like this? You know? But like, oh, okay. So we can't do it.
[01:10:37] We can't do it. Yeah. Okay. Rodolfo says, would Lisa be a Foutay Alliance member? Would, would Lisa get a invite to Foutay? Foutay might make the moon water and then play with the glitter.
[01:10:51] Yeah. I could see her and Rockstar vibing out. Yeah, probably. We were like a come one, come all whoever wanted to be a part of it. I don't even know if I got invited. I think
[01:11:01] it was just something that I like woke up and we were in. Yeah. But I would invite her. I like her. I think she's, I like her directness, her approach to conversations. It's refreshing to not have to
[01:11:14] guess what someone is actually saying and meaning. Terrible game, like terrible, terrible approach for the game. But yeah, she'd get an invite for sure. Okay. Thundercats wants to know, does anybody on the panel believe Angela will not flip on anyone anymore as she promised?
[01:11:31] That's probably a safe bet, right? She's a changed woman now. God forbid. I don't want her to be a changed woman. As you are queen. All right. Let's, let's stop being twits and uh, because does this not sound like a woman who is
[01:11:51] going to hold to her word? I won't ever freak out again like I did. I love you. I want to stay. I really want to stay. I mean, that's me. Yeah. I mean, she sounds like she's not going to freak
[01:12:03] out on anyone again. I won't ever freak out again. Like I did. Seems pretty reasonable to me. Yeah. Karen, I don't like what you're implying about Angela not keeping her word. To me, this is a little bit of deformation of character.
[01:12:24] Deformation of my character? Is that what you said? I forgot about this. Yeah. I forgot about this. Listen, yeah. I don't know why you guys are laughing. You don't want to deform anyone's character. No, you don't. You really don't. And then
[01:12:39] right after that she was talking to Tucker and she was talking about how in the game that you could get duped, but that's not what she says. But if I go home because I've been so duped.
[01:12:51] Well, guess what? That would be so sad. This is a game where you get duped and you got to go out like a gentleman or a gentlewoman. Right. You're saying duped, right? Sounds like it. Yeah.
[01:13:01] It kind of sounds like it. She says duped and then he says duped. I think I need to listen to it again, Rob. Yeah. I'm stuck on gentlewoman. If someone said you're a gentlewoman, I'm like,
[01:13:10] first of all, no the hell, I'm not gentle. Gentlewoman. I've never heard that in my life. Yeah. Okay. Anything else about BB26 tonight? I got this mom's heart beating fast. Yeah. You could hear heartbeats on the mics tonight.
[01:13:34] Yeah. I hate that. Oh my God. Can I just say, it freaks me out every time and this is like something newer in the last couple of seasons. I can't. I hate that. Fix it. Get worse than that.
[01:13:46] I liked it. It's intense. I know you liked it. It gave me like the suspense and like, I know what they're feeling because it's beating so hard of like, I can hear it.
[01:13:56] I feel like, didn't a movie just do that? Like they used an actor's real heartbeat as like the trailer. Wow. To show how scary it was. Giving ASMR. Oh, that's the worst thing I've ever heard.
[01:14:11] I like it. Yeah. Okay. And Phil wants to know, would you rather be roasted as a brat or a twit? It's a brat summer baby. Brat summer. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I actually do think I would be more hurt if
[01:14:27] somebody called me a brat than if somebody, cause twit is just kind of funny. No, brat is not an insult. Brat is like summer. That's not how Angela's saying. She's not like, hey, Taryn,
[01:14:39] you're a brat. She's like, you're a brat. Angela's on top of all the trends. Come on. She's on top of everything. I feel like we're going to talk to Angela in an
[01:14:47] exit interview and she's going to be like, oh, it's this brat. Yeah. I'm going to feel hurt. But if she said, oh, it's these twits, I'd be like, oh. Yeah. Hey, Angela. Yeah. I kind of
[01:14:58] like the word twit. It's growing on me. Yeah. It's fun. All right. Let's talk about what else is coming up. Of course, if you want to hear our interview with Lisa, you got to subscribe. Go to robinswebsite.com
