[00:00:53] Powered by Shopify. Comedy Live from my apartment. It's Rob Has a Podcast and now here's the guy who's trying to still catch his breath after that veto ceremony. I'm Rob Cesternino. Hello everybody and welcome back to a jam-packed Wednesday night.
[00:01:18] Big Brother as we got a lot to talk about here tonight and a lot is still to be determined about who goes home on Thursday. Very much looking forward to this one and of course we're back here with the man who sees it all. Taryn Armstrong.
[00:01:34] Taryn, how are you? I Rob, I'm here because I love... This is Big Brother. Big Brother. Yes. This is Big freaking Brother. Big freaking Brother. Hold on. Can we combine these? Oh no. Big freaking Brother. Yeah. All right. Okay. We got a lot to break down.
[00:01:58] Of course, very excited to be back here with my Claim to Fame Podcast co-host. We got to record that later on tonight, Jenny. Are you ready, Autumn? Yes. You know, I'm very excited. A little counterintuitive for us to be together podcasting at the same time
[00:02:14] the other show we podcasted that Adam is on but... I don't know. It's giving Paul playing Candy Crush. Yeah. Listen, I will save you from what my heart wants tonight, which is to do this entire
[00:02:32] podcast in some sort of amalgamation of like a British and Australian accent to honor Tucker in his challenge mode. I don't know what is happening. Do you want to talk like this, Jenny? All right. There we go. We're through the game. Everyone watch your red. Watch the stalactites.
[00:02:52] They trip, they trip. Whoop. Yeah, that's what you can get from me. And it's just going to be directions, actually. All right. I mean, I hear that and I'm just immediately like, yeah, I'm crushing on Tucker. You know, like... There we go. Okay.
[00:03:06] And then Rob, KT, what do you have to say about it? Jenny, stop. I'm going to get a crush on you too. Sorry, sorry, Terrence. I was hoping that you stalagmite and you did. So, okay.
[00:03:16] And then very nice to have back here with us from the circle, QT. QT, how are you? I am doing amazing. I'm just happy that we got our Angela puppet master arc that I have been waiting for. Just everything's going her way in Big Brother, honestly.
[00:03:34] It couldn't get better for her right now. Yeah. Everything's turning up. Angela, she's a genius. Kevin Jacobs just wrote about it over on reality tv newsletters.com. And a lot to talk about here tonight.
[00:03:47] But at this hour, I think that we, America has a big decision to make. And so let's talk about it. Here we go. Decision 2024. Who will America put up onto... Hold on, we don't want to block out QT's face. Here, try this one. How dare you? Decision 2024.
[00:04:12] Who will America put up onto the block? Nine candidates are on the debate stage and America will vote soon. Yeah, this graphic is wrong though. I don't know who pulled this one. It has some people that aren't eligible. So, T-Core, Cam, Joseph, Kimo, Brooklyn, Chelsea, Leah, and Rubina.
[00:04:34] They should all say Quinn. Well, they have to include people that are on the show, Taryn. And I feel like these are stock photos of people that they like... It's like the fake casting releases. Yeah, this is the leaked cast.
[00:04:47] I'm pretty sure in order to be voted for, you have to bin on the episode. I don't know half these people. All right. And I'm getting word in my ear. I'm getting word in my ear. Rob has a podcast is officially... We're calling it.
[00:05:10] Rob's podcast confirms Quinn will be the third nominee. I'm ready to call that. Minutes into the podcast. Yes. Can we change the graphic? Our decision desk, they study all the numbers. They're looking at everything and RHAP is calling it. Quinn is officially on the block Thursday night.
[00:05:34] It's official. I'm not willing to claim that yet, honestly. I don't stand with RHAP in this. Hold on. Because I was going to put some money down. Oh, we're gambling tonight? Hell yeah. I don't know if I'm willing to bet it. All right. QT, we've called it already.
[00:05:54] Are you saying that there is still votes and ballots to be counted? Yeah, I just refuse to believe that my vote does not matter. And I'm not voting for Quinn. Who are you voting for, QT? Oh, I'm voting for Joseph.
[00:06:13] A few days ago, he was on the live feed saying, I don't think there's any way that I get voted up there. And as soon as he said that, I was like, you have my vote. Yeah. Well, my vote really doesn't count as Canadian.
[00:06:25] But I'm very excited to be a part of the most exciting vote for America in 2024. OK, well, let me just ask real quick. So, Taryn, what are the logistics on the voting here? You vote online or is it text? You know what? I'm not sure. OK.
[00:06:47] Where's the small print? And does the voting open up after the Pacific viewing or is voting open now? It's open now. I already put my votes in. All right, here we go. Time to fire up the VPN, guys. We got it going on here. Vote early, vote often.
[00:07:02] Let's check it out. OK, maybe we should list QT as the only one that actually voted. America, who do you want nominated for eviction? OK, so QT, you've already gone and voted. Yeah. Were you registered early? How did you get in so quick?
[00:07:18] I mailed in my ballot, actually. Oh, my God. I didn't know CBS.com still existed. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, I thought everything was Paramount Plus. OK. I mean, they're really it's very hard to imagine the scenario where it's not Quinn,
[00:07:33] that there's so many of these people who have just gotten almost no airtime. Brooklyn has not been seen on the show at all. You know, even Robina has been pretty quiet on the show. We got a little tea car tonight.
[00:07:48] But it's got to be Quinn, just because that not only was there already the tide against him from, you know, any sort of negativity from last week. But in this episode, I think that probably and again, this is unofficial vibes polling for me.
[00:08:09] I would think the most popular character on the show is Tucker. Yeah. And this is what Tucker wants. Yes, Rob. This was Tucker's final diary room of the episode. I guess Cedric didn't have the balls to put Quinn out there. So. Yeah.
[00:08:26] And then I thought that I feel like that production really buried Quinn by having Quinn with a very cocky confessional to it. Like the last thing we heard was like, I got this like mustache twirly like. Quinn's going to block.
[00:08:46] This this was what they invented the phrase beating a dead horse for, because they went so over the top in making sure that again, like it's being blatantly told to us by well, Cedric doesn't have the balls to put up Quinn. So does America essentially?
[00:09:07] And then we're getting diary rooms from Quinn that are like. I'll be honest. It's been real easy to lie to these people. Yeah, I will. I will say like, yeah, I completely agree. Obviously, that is the most based on the edit.
[00:09:23] That is the most obvious thing that they're that they're signaling here. But I also think given the narrative of like what has happened and the available people to be voted like I just can't imagine how they could really do much with a lot of the like so
[00:09:44] many of the other people that they could have like villainized, you know, are not eligible to be voted here. So I think which it's really too bad because it's like there's really in terms of people
[00:10:00] that have been big parts of the episodes thus far and were really like wrapped into this narrative, at least how it was presented to us like it couldn't be anybody else. How are they how are they going to within the episode,
[00:10:14] you know, make us feel like it makes sense for us to vote for Cam or Joseph or Leah? Like I have a million ideas for you. There is of course the footage is there, but also if they haven't really done
[00:10:26] that much with them prior to this, like it would like I just know how they edit the show. When would when would they have done that? Like if they wanted to, they absolutely could. Sure. Yeah, just like every other thing if they wanted to, they could.
[00:10:45] The thing is, they didn't want to. They want Quinn on the block. Yeah, but I mean, they want to go home. I think they do personally. They should want to because because for a multitude of reasons,
[00:10:59] one of which is that I don't think they like Quinn very much in the first place. But second of which is that there are two powers in the game and Quinn's has already run its course. Quinn's power next week is a dud if he uses it.
[00:11:12] He's just going to use he's probably just going to nominate the same people. Everybody already knows about it. The deepfake aspect is already spent. They're going to they spent all this money in a hologram and nobody's even care about it.
[00:11:23] Whereas America's veto can still have a massive impact on the game if Quinn goes up and goes home. Whereas if Quinn doesn't go up and doesn't go home or doesn't go home, then both powers have basically been duds. And I think they really like Tucker.
[00:11:38] Tucker is their new Matt. Sure. And they really want Tucker to succeed. But I understand, OK, the power is a dud, but I just feel like that Quinn is giving them a lot. I mean, I feel like if they didn't like him,
[00:11:50] they would not show him in the diary room. They wouldn't like give us so much Quinn on the episodes. I look, I could be wrong about them not wanting to go home, but they certainly want him to go on the block and he certainly could go home.
[00:12:04] So at the very least, they're very willing to. My takeaway from the episode, I think it really speaks to some of what you've been talking about on the Live Feed Updates, Taryn, is that I think that production is desperate for Kenny to go home tomorrow night.
[00:12:19] And I feel like this would be great drama to see Quinn go up on the block, potentially come off the block and then have Kenny go home. I think that's a win, win, win for everybody. QT, do you think that the show might want Quinn out?
[00:12:37] The only thing is I thought, too, that they would want Kenny out 100%. And then in this episode, they dedicated a full like five minute segment to the fact that Kenny wants to go, then doesn't want to go there. Making it like a bit.
[00:12:49] Either they made Kenny look very dumb tonight. Yeah, but I think the fact that they even put it out there means that they're willing for it to be like this funny bit of like, oh my gosh, imagine Kenny gets to the end and he had this
[00:13:00] thing in episode 10 that happened about him not wanting to go. When Kenny is Tucker's right hand man next week, when after Quinn gets evicted and Tucker wins HOH, they're going to love Kenny. You know what I mean?
[00:13:14] I think what this episode showed us is that they are extremely pro Tucker to the point that they mangled the reality of what happened in this episode in order to suit him. Tell us, Taryn, what did they mangle?
[00:13:28] Well, OK, it's honestly too much to even say in a brief period of time. But basically what I like in this too, as I was watching this on Twitch was like when they hyped this up as like the most like exciting, dramatic veto ceremony of all time.
[00:13:50] It was like if they had hyped up Dan's funeral and been like, this is the best move of all time. And then they didn't show Dan talking to Frank before the veto ceremony. Like they just skipped an entire like massive chunk of what happened.
[00:14:06] The primary part of which is that Cedric told Tucker, don't use the veto on Angela, use it on yourself. I'm not going to make this move, which they entirely skipped over and made it seem like Tucker was tricked into doing this,
[00:14:22] which is what Tucker is now yelling at Cedric for. Taryn, maybe they don't have flashback either and they couldn't find that part. OK, they just didn't know that that happened. They just missed it. They don't have flashback option either.
[00:14:35] This was stylistically done from Tucker's POV, not power of veto, but from Tucker's perspective, this is how things played out. And he is the main character of the story. And some people are saying like, oh, well, maybe they'll just show it later.
[00:14:51] But there's a reason why we didn't see it now, which is that it suits the narrative now. And then later we'll find out the truth. Maybe. Yeah. OK, what else, Taryn? So there's a lot of stuff surrounding the collective, which has been completely removed
[00:15:09] from the edit. A large reason why basically all of the reason why Cedric didn't decide to make this move was because he didn't want to ruin what he had going with the collective. In addition to the Pentagon, Joseph was a heavy part of this.
[00:15:23] Joseph knew about the power. We're talking about like, if could we have sunk Joseph in this edit? Joseph is on feeds, not just in the diary where they tell you what to say, but on feed saying I'm the star of the show,
[00:15:35] which would have been very funny to include in the episodes. There's a whole section with Cam and Leah and their whole showmancy thing, which was a lot of drama. And Leah has turned on Quinn because of this and had a whole thing there.
[00:15:52] Cedric and Cam also not pro Quinn by any means, but just decided they want to placate him. And so they actually told Quinn and warned him that Tucker was going after him ahead of time as well. And so there was a ton of stuff there.
[00:16:08] And so there's just there's a lot missing here. OK, nevertheless, it's overwhelming. We're going to see somebody go home on Thursday night. And Jenny, do you have a horse in the race? Are you hoping to see somebody go up on the block?
[00:16:28] Am I hoping to see someone go up on the block? No, I'm hoping to see whoever goes on the block be the person that can ensure that it's Kenny that goes home. That is my only horse in this race. Well, let's just talk through scenarios.
[00:16:45] Put him to bed. OK, all right. So if Quinn wins the arena, Tucker and Kenny's on the block, Kenny will go home, correct? If Kenny's on the block, he's going home. Eleven zero ten zero. Maybe not. Maybe not that dramatically.
[00:17:05] I don't care what the vote is as long as he as long as he goes. OK, all right. If Tucker, who's so confident, he's throwing in Cedric's face like,
[00:17:14] I can't wait to go on the block with you and I'll beat you in a arena and then you'll go home. He's so confident in one arena contest. And if he wins and Quinn sits on the block with Kenny,
[00:17:30] if Quinn is on the block against Kenny, Kenny is more likely to go home. But it's not impossible that Quinn doesn't go home. OK, Quinn is the only person Kenny can sit next to where he has a chance to stay. The only person. Yikes.
[00:17:50] I want to say, I don't care if he thinks Rob is a podcast is a bad name. I want him to stay. I think I think here's the thing. I what the ideal situation for me, I think in terms of entertainment and drama
[00:18:03] at continuing past tomorrow night is Quinn goes up, which I think we all feel like is the foregone conclusion at this point. But he either he wins the arena or Tucker wins the arena and Kenny goes home.
[00:18:22] And now there's all this like, you know, fest festering drama and we get to see a play out and we get someone off the board that isn't going to contribute, wants to go home anyway. I think that is probably Quinn gets spooked. He might get in his head.
[00:18:40] He's a super fan. He's like, oh, my God, I got voted as the third knob. Like, I do think that that could be really fun. I don't I don't want him to go. I want to get the person to go.
[00:18:50] That does literally there's a whole segment about that. Like, that's who I want to be. OK, if they rigged the show tomorrow just to make sure that we get by the way, Tucker to stay.
[00:19:02] No, by the way, there's so many times in Big Brother where I feel like as super fans, we're like, OK, it's OK if you rig it a little bit like Janelle going home in 22. It's like, OK, maybe like keep her around. Don't put her up, you know?
[00:19:15] So there's a few times where I'm like, yeah, you can rig something. And I would not mind. Like, I wouldn't I turn the blind eye. I wouldn't say a thing about it. Just like allow it to happen, please. For the record, I disagree. You disagree, Taryn. Of course.
[00:19:30] Come on. Anti rig. If everybody's going nuts, you're going to say, hey, everybody, listen, this was that this was for the better good that Kenny is staying. Everybody listen. The reason I'm annoyed at this episode is, well, I think it's missed opportunity. I think it was.
[00:19:47] I'm sure this episode is fine for people that don't know what actually happened. But like there, this was so entertaining on the feeds. And I feel like they missed like 80 percent, at least of like the good stuff they had here. Mackenzie was planning to not use this veto.
[00:20:02] They didn't have that in there either. But but the reason I'm annoyed about it is that is because I don't like when somebody is blatantly trying to manipulate me, like when when they include this diary room. I'll be honest. It's been real easy to lie to these people.
[00:20:19] That's production talking to us with this edit. Like they you know what I mean? Like this is why I like Big Brother because of the live feeds. I don't like manipulative edits. And this was a very manipulative edit. Fair, fair.
[00:20:33] Can I ask you another question that we heard here tonight when Kenny was talking about how he wanted to win the veto and use it on Angela just to mess with everybody? Is that real? That was that's that was really something that he wanted.
[00:20:54] Well, Rob, he also said right after the veto competition. Uh, well, competing in that veto competition reinvigorated my fighting spirit. So even though I'm not going to be able to use the veto on myself, I'm still going to fight. But what happened to the Angela plan?
[00:21:11] You lost and you gave up on the Angela. You didn't even like you could have been like, man, I would have used it on Angela, but he lost and he still is like, no, I probably wouldn't have used it on Angela after all.
[00:21:22] I think that just speaks to how much. That's what I'm saying. I think it's how much of a puppet master Angela really is. Yes. OK, no, it's that they're in love and they haven't shown it.
[00:21:36] They've been they did the whole edit on Sunday about the unlike unrequited like show mantis. And Jenny's a dangerous aren't showing. Yeah, exactly. Kenji stands right. Um, they they weren't showing that, you know, Kenny has been growing this affection for Angela.
[00:21:57] Look at how the passion she has to be there where that he so sorely lacks. It doesn't matter that he's working with Tucker and that's the other person on the block. He's grown this this love and appreciation for Angela and he wants to preserve her game.
[00:22:17] And I think that it's an absolute robbery. I think it's ageism that they're not showing this on the show. It's messed up. And that's the true show man. So they have not been giving us on the on the show. It's messed up.
[00:22:31] One other scenario heading into Thursday night, if somehow Kenny wins the arena. OK, and Taryn can sleep soundly that it was not rigged. Kenny has won the arena and it's Tucker versus Quinn. Is there a chance Tucker could go or it's slam dunk? It's Quinn.
[00:22:51] It's more likely Tucker right now. Oh, interesting. Yeah, but it's not. It's worse for Quinn. It could be Quinn. But right now I'd say it's slightly more likely Tucker. Can you just give us the lay of the land? Like who are the swing votes?
[00:23:06] Who is this hinging on? It's there are a lot of swing votes. It's a very close vote. So all of the collective, the Pentagon. Well, I shouldn't say all of all of the Pentagon are on Quinn side. So Brooklyn, Chelsea, Cam are all votes for Quinn to stay.
[00:23:26] Then he should have some other votes like Joseph. Joseph should be a vote for Quinn. Then theoretically, chemo and T-Core should be votes for Quinn. But that is not a guarantee. Keep Quinn over exactly. It gets a little tricky there.
[00:23:45] So there are a lot of votes locked against Quinn. So like Angela, Rubina, maybe, maybe Rubina against Tucker. Definitely a vote against Quinn. Then you have Leah, who, as I mentioned, has now kind of turned on Quinn, although things are a little messier than that right now.
[00:24:06] McKenzie would likely vote Quinn. And so all of a sudden you've got four votes against Quinn and you need six. And then again, it comes down to votes like chemo T-Core Joseph. I think T-Core leans keeping Quinn over Tucker, but chemo leans keeping Tucker over Quinn.
[00:24:24] And so it gets very close and very sticky. We need the whiteboard tonight, Aaron. It sounds like a Tucker versus Quinn at the end of eviction night is like what we want. So I'm kind of rooting for you. You win a big. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Kiki.
[00:24:40] I can't. It's it's exciting for like for like two minutes of television and then and then Kenny's there for another week at least. Right. But then he'll really on the block every week quitting like and then we're getting thumbs up, thumbs down for not quitting.
[00:24:56] Better believe I'm not giving up for the next five minutes. Oh, my gosh. How annoying. Let this man go home. Let's talk about some of what we saw in the episode. Really, the story tonight was the leak of the Quinn's power.
[00:25:22] We saw chemo confirmed to Tucker about the power against the backdrop of the reveal of the crush on Tucker. OK, Tucker is gorgeous, duh. But there genuinely is trust there. Yeah, I want Tucker. Don't trust the gorgeous man. I want Tucker's gorgeous, duh, on a T-shirt. Tucker's gorgeous.
[00:25:52] Don't make me wear it. Yeah. Jenny, do you feel like they do chemo a little dirty here tonight that he is just was like head over heels for Tucker and told him the plan? I mean, not as much as they could have.
[00:26:08] But I mean, you know, chemo openly admits that, you know, he had he had a bit of the loose lips on account of, yeah, you know, his his personal emotional feelings. So I think that. He did himself dirty, Rob. Yeah, that's the thing.
[00:26:33] He's just speaking what what happened here. And I mean, he's just telling us what happened. And haven't we all been there, you know, just saying what we shouldn't say. On reality shows, can't relate, Jenny. Sexy, silly man. And then we're like, oops.
[00:26:52] Oh, I think that that's the sound clip from Survivor of the Amazon. I think they was left over. CBS still had it on the hard drive. Yeah, they've got they've got all the hits ready to go for the season. Yeah.
[00:27:10] He tells Tucker, OK, that Quinn does have the power, reveals what it is. And Tucker is now set on. He's he's been sniffing out these powers for weeks, Taron. Yeah, and he thinks it would be stupid to not target people who have powers.
[00:27:31] Now, he's also like not really taking into account that it would also be kind of stupid to not target somebody who's winning a bunch of competitions. But but as the person winning a bunch of competitions.
[00:27:45] He thinks that they should be talking to the powers and he's not wrong. It's very focused on that. We get to the lengthy veto competition, and I just feel like we're talking on Sunday night
[00:28:02] about the Ainsley land of like, what are we even doing with this candy land set up? And then I was like, I had secondhand embarrassment for Cedric tonight as he had to read the card of like what the plot was of the of the veto competition.
[00:28:25] And here here's what here's what he had to say. Ainsley's power has been drained by all the drama in the big brother house. She needs your help to recharge. Unfortunately, the core that is the source of our power has been hidden within this
[00:28:39] AI created temple deep within a digital jungle. What? That's me trying to explain the plot of my favorite fantasy novel. Like anytime anyone's describing a board game and how we play it like, OK, you just you have to recharge the core and through the jungle.
[00:29:01] I'm like, can we just play? Can we do it when there's too much drama in the big brother house? Drains Ainsley's power. I don't know. I feel like then Ainsley would just always be dead. So I think question mark. I don't know.
[00:29:15] Well, that way she hasn't been on. That's why they cut so much of the drama from the feeds and the episode. Angela, that makes sense. They have to power up Ainsley. Also, this competition. We can't get too much Angela.
[00:29:27] Do you guys remember there was this show on Nickelodeon back in the day called Legends of the Hidden Temple? Yes. That's what this competition was giving me. And I always wanted to be on Legends of the Hidden Temple. So I think I might have done good.
[00:29:38] I think that's not fair to Legends of the Hidden Temple, which is very watchable. And, you know, not it was like the knockoff little brother. Not that not to give too much thought to this, but like that the jungle with the batteries
[00:29:57] hidden is AI generated by Ainsley was the AI. Did you know when I can't find the keys that I left somewhere in my own house? Like I'm in a maze of my own creation.
[00:30:10] There's no point to try to make sense of it because it just does not make sense. But like no big brother competition ever really makes sense. Like they try to connect the dots, but but don't even bother trying to make this an Ainsley thing.
[00:30:22] It's just like, all right, today we're in the we're in the jungle and we got to get this piece of bamboo through here. Like people who who are casuals like might actually forget who Ainsley is and is like, is that another house guest that I can vote for?
[00:30:35] She showed up tonight. Jenny, I am that person constantly. Every time they say Ainsley, I'm like, who? Or or worse. I'm like, why are they talking about Mackenzie like that? Like what did Mackenzie do that they're talking about? How about her like this? How about her like this?
[00:30:55] Like, like, honestly, I'm still not to the point where I'm instantly recognizing Ainsley's. It always takes me a second. I mean, I think it's just that she had like the core has been, you know, completely depleted of the energy. And that's why. No, she is.
[00:31:18] She's like slowly charging herself up. Uh, but I just I don't know why they just dropped the Ainsley thing, but they're just dropping the name. They're like they only had the budget to do the graphics for like two episodes.
[00:31:32] And now they're just like, all right, we blew the graphics. They can't afford the third grader we hired to make this anymore. Yeah. So we're just we're hoping they remember those first few episodes where she came up on the
[00:31:46] screen and we're just going to like weave her into the narrative of every challenge and just hope that that's enough. They could have just used the actress that they use for the first episode, like get her
[00:31:58] I wish they were a few hours and just have her film the stuff for all of these HHNB competition. I think they're using the same like Ainsley, like 10 second loop for every single time she's there and then just dubbing the voice in.
[00:32:11] Like, I don't think this is a new Ainsley animation every single time. I think it's just they have one gif of Ainsley and they just play it every time. Maybe they only bought so many minutes of rights to that graphic.
[00:32:27] So they're like they blew their budget really quickly. Our budget is 30 cents. What do we make? No, but they spent more money on that thing, the machine that like she comes up on when
[00:32:40] it's right next to the TV that they could have spent more money on the budget of Ainsley. I just figured it out, you know? Well, all right. Everybody was going through the competition. I was surprised that we actually got a Friends reference from Mackenzie.
[00:33:03] She talked about Ross and the couch. All I'm hearing is Ross from Friends yelling pivot, pivot. Wow. Love that reference. That was fun. Yeah, surprised. Lots of couch references this week. They wouldn't even know. Yeah. Julie will tell them it's fine. Anything else of note?
[00:33:29] Angela seemed like she was really struggling. Rob, I'm not always the best judge of these things because I hate most competitions and I think that most of them are boring. But this to me was really boring.
[00:33:42] I felt like I was watching people holding a thing and going, oh, oh, oh no. Oh, but I can't even see the things until they light them up in the grass. I'm just watching. I don't know where they are relative to the whole thing.
[00:34:00] I was just, it was so, it felt like it lasted forever. When Kenny came up, I was like, there's another one. Kenny. At least, you know, the most fun part of it for me was just hearing what people's different word they say when they bump into things is.
[00:34:19] Mackenzie's a big fudge person. She was like, fudge, fudge. And then Angela was like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. And then Tucker was just straight British Australian accent the entire time.
[00:34:34] But I think that that's just him at all times when he's in the zone. That was the interesting part of it for me is just finding out what people say. Yeah, honestly, people could have been hitting into those branches and stuff
[00:34:46] and they could have just lit it up and I would have been like, okay, yeah, they did. Like I, it's hard to even tell if whether or not they actually hit the thing. Make it a montage. Let's like, let's wrap it up. Yeah.
[00:34:57] They were cutting back and forth between Tucker and Kenny at the end. So at least that was something. Ultimately, we see Tucker wins another competition. And here we go again. Like I've said before, risk it for the biscuit and your boy likes biscuits. Likes biscuits. I love it.
[00:35:18] Add it to the list. I started a notes app with a list of all the things Tucker loves. Please. Puzzles. Yeah. Biscuits. Anything else? Not Cedric. Yeah. Anymore. I couldn't even hear what you just played until right now because my Siri thought that I was asking about biscuits.
[00:35:44] It keeps just pulling up biscuits. What's the recipe for a biscuit? I think you were asking about biscuit for recipes. Yeah, for a recipe. Taste the biscuit. Might have to make some. Yeah. Yikes. Okay. I love that. All right. Tucker is feeling it and he wins.
[00:36:04] Is there any part of Tucker that's like, okay, I'm winning all these comps. And so now I'm getting bolder with my plans because I'm winning comps. I don't know if he's getting bolder or if he's just still the same Tucker, but like
[00:36:24] he definitely feels like he can't lose a competition. He definitely feels that way and he also is very comfortable saying that to everyone in the house. Yeah, I'm going to win the AI Arena competition.
[00:36:41] That's why I need to stay on the block because I'm going to win the AI Arena competition. I just feel like this is a very small sample size of what he has actually done to be this confident. Listen, when we've only had a couple episodes,
[00:36:58] you know, in terms of the math, I feel like. He's won two competitions. One and one was a three person competition against Angela and Lisa. How dare you? I mean, to be fair. And so did Angela.
[00:37:15] If he watched last season, he'd have a reason to feel this way. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's facts. I mean, it's a little early in the season to just be like, let me be the person that, you know, is outright winning in a very obvious way every week.
[00:37:34] But they can't make me hate him. I'm sorry. I want him to stay too. I think that he's very fun. And, you know, look, anybody that's giving us stuff. I mean, like this has always been my philosophy with Big Brother.
[00:37:50] If you are bringing entertainment to the program, then I want you to stay. And if you are not, I want you to go. And that can change at any moment. OK, if you cease to be entertaining, then I want you to go. Yeah, I agree.
[00:38:08] I mean, that's the whole reason we watch the show. Right. And I want to see people that want to play, which is why even though I joke, I do want Kenny to go because it's like tired already.
[00:38:19] And I don't want people that necessarily are just messy and have zero percent chance to win and no allies, because then it just feels like we're prolonging the inevitable.
[00:38:35] I think it would be more fun if Tucker stays and he has at least a little like faction of people. Um, because I don't want him to just like stay. And then now all of a sudden it's like he's lost a lot of goodwill and he's winning comps.
[00:38:53] So everyone's just like the next thing of the house is, OK, we've got to get Tucker out somehow. And like that takes over. Tucker would be great. We'll love that. But he needs a friend. We don't want to turn into Big Brother Canada Eleven. Yeah.
[00:39:09] I don't think that'll happen. I think that Tucker, that he certainly has his moments, but he also has like all of this mist where people are falling all over themselves. He has an army of people who have a crush on him. Yeah. So that's powerful. That's something.
[00:39:27] It is crazy, though, that he just keeps offering himself up as a pawn. And I think it's also a testament to the fact that he feels like he can just win everything. And because there's so many competitions like in between when you first nominate it to where
[00:39:41] the actual eviction comes, he just feels like untouchable. So he's going to keep nominating himself, which is crazy. But I fear that he could go sooner than later because of that. Sorry, my Siri keeps thinking that I'm talking to her and like it's driving me nuts. Please.
[00:39:58] Besides Biscuits, what else would you like? Imagine if you were on the podcast last season. Oh, my gosh. It's every time we talk about Tucker, I think Tucker has something to do with this. Oh, my God. She's got a crush on him too. Honestly.
[00:40:09] Tucker has a lot going on that he has, obviously, this proficiency in the competitions and he has all the confidence in the world. The problem is he just has... This is a very stupid move.
[00:40:23] It's really his one Achilles heel is that he has a ton of horrible ideas. Yeah. That would be a problem in Big Brother. Yeah. All right. So let's get to then after the veto ceremony. OK, now the slow motion car wreck starts to come together.
[00:40:43] And after we see that Cedric needs a renom, he goes to MJ fishing for a pawn. And she's like, no, not here. Yes. And this did happen, but it's the opposite of what ended up happening, which is that she did
[00:41:00] eventually volunteer and plan to not use the veto. Interesting. She was so defiant in there. She's like, I'm not going to be a pawn. Yes. Surprise, surprise. The episode portrayed it to be the exact opposite of what it was. She's like, I'm not doing that. Yeah.
[00:41:18] Also, I feel like this is kind of Cedric's downfall this whole week. It's kind of been is that he doesn't take initiative or he doesn't just like take things in his own hands. He has to ask everyone, like, are you OK doing this?
[00:41:30] He wants everyone to kind of feel included in the decision, even when it's a decision of putting them on the block. And it's just kind of annoying, I feel like, when he keeps asking people these things, especially Mackenzie.
[00:41:41] Why would you ask her knowing she has the power and she's probably going to use the power? That's not going to be good for you. Like, I don't know. It's just too much.
[00:41:48] I hate when an HOH asks everyone in the house if they're willing to be a pawn. I also understand it from Mackenzie's perspective. If you have a power and am I right that it also it's the same as Quinn's and it has to
[00:42:02] be used by a certain time by next week? Yeah. OK. So so, you know, it's not it's it doesn't have a long expiry that you can hold on to it till you really need it.
[00:42:13] Like, you know, it's almost the same as sitting with an immunity idol and, you know, being like knowing your name is out there when the two people that are on the potentially on
[00:42:28] the block beside you as a pawn or Angela and Kenny, who are somehow surviving and being protected and no one sees them as threats. And you are a like, you know, person that isn't super well connected in the game, but
[00:42:44] also like a physical competitor, like, you know, a potential force in the game. I could completely understand the fear of like there would be no worse feeling than getting put up as a replacement nominee, having the ability to save myself in that moment
[00:43:02] and not doing it and letting people, you know, you can't bank on the oh, I can beat like Kenny and Angela in the arena. You have a power. You don't even know that what happens next week is anything you would care about enough to use it anyway.
[00:43:18] So why not protect yourself? So even though we know like we had all of the information leading up to know that she probably would be OK and didn't need to use it, I completely defend her like decision to use
[00:43:33] it there, especially considering all of the unpredictable chaos, like someone using the veto on Angela. That's wild. So I think she did the right thing for her to expect, like to be safe and just sit on that power. Like I would never want to do that either.
[00:43:49] Taryn, it was pretty ballsy of Cedric to go to Mackenzie. He knows she has the power and then ask her like, OK, I want you to go be a pawn, but don't use your power. Just sit there and use the power.
[00:44:03] So to be fair, so I will defend Cedric a little bit here because for a couple of reasons, and I do think he misplayed his age. We talked a lot about it on the roundtable last night, and I think that part of how he
[00:44:15] put misplayed the age was that he really opened up the door for Tucker to feel this way about him and to push this plan on him. But in terms of the volunteering, he had three volunteers for the for initial nominations.
[00:44:28] It's very much a like an environment of volunteering in the house. And ultimately, as I've mentioned, he did get Mackenzie to agree and he didn't push her to not use the power necessarily. That came a little bit later.
[00:44:46] It was more like, hey, whoever goes up is definitely locked safe. The pitch was more so I need somebody that's going to be able to win the AI arena so that we can prevent Kenny or Angela from taking themselves down.
[00:44:59] Because at the time, Mackenzie thought that Tucker would be taking himself off the block. And so it was actually Brooklyn who Mackenzie really trusts who convinced her that she shouldn't even use the power because she doesn't need to and that she should save it for next week.
[00:45:14] And so with that in mind, Mackenzie was like, OK, Tucker takes himself down. I go up. I know for a fact that the numbers are there to vote out either Kenny or Angela. I'm not even going to use the power. I can probably beat them in AI.
[00:45:26] And even if I don't, they're still being voted out ahead of me. And I shouldn't I should save my power for next week. I'm locked safe next week. But then she's surprised and blindsided by Tucker using the veto on Angela instead of himself.
[00:45:39] And so she rightfully changes her plan that she probably shouldn't have had in the first place. OK. Which was very exciting and all kinds of like interesting. But of course, none of it was in the episode. We did get to see that America's veto ultimately get played.
[00:45:58] OK, Tucker has the plan. We didn't see a ton of pushback from Cedric in the episode at all about this. And so we went, OK, right into it. And we spent the time in the veto meeting. OK, what's Tucker going to do?
[00:46:15] And he ends up using the veto to save. Angela, I just love seeing Angela get surprised. Me too. I also love that she like tells everyone I had no idea just so that no one thinks that she was in on the plan at all.
[00:46:45] But she's just so excited to still be there. I can't believe it. I can't. Oh my. Wow. It's such a low bar, but I'm also like so happy that she just actively wants to be there. Like Kenny would have been pissed if it had been used on him.
[00:47:01] Like, oh, how am I supposed to go? I don't have a choice. Now, if I want to go home, I have to quit. And they told me that I don't get paid if I leave on my own. It's OK. He doesn't need to get paid.
[00:47:14] He has what whatever he has back at home is worth more than 750,000. So it's worth more than even getting paid to be there. Uh, yeah. No. Why did you come here, Annie? It's a good question. Why are you here?
[00:47:33] People who love their family that much should just stay home. Yeah. We only want people on Big Brother that do not want to be around their family because then we don't get shout outs in the diary room when they're voting because they don't they don't give a shit.
[00:47:48] They don't want to say hi to anyone. All I care about is right here. Does she say she's a married mother? Five seconds. You know, let's find some people that don't have don't aren't obsessed with their family. Yeah, I think that that should be the new casting criteria.
[00:48:06] Do you hate your family? You don't have to hate them, but you could want a vacation. OK, yeah. Just really not want to do that. Especially this time of year, Jenny, your kids are home from school for two months already.
[00:48:17] Maybe that's a case for starting the season later. Yeah, just wait till everyone's burnt out. Listen, you know, if if casting if if we can get, you know, mothers, married mothers,
[00:48:35] but that are like dead sick of their kids and they're going to be like, oh, crazy like Angela. I've got then I'm all for it. More of that. OK, Brooklyn did say that when she was like kidnapped or whatever to go on the show,
[00:48:53] that one of her daughters was like hysterically crying and she just kind of like put her in a room and was like, she'll be OK. And then kept going. I felt like that's the mindset you have to have cold blooded. That's what you need to win this game.
[00:49:04] Yeah. OK, that's why Brooklyn's doing great. All right. So all right, Angela, blindsided. Tucker was feeling good. This is his decision. He's sticking to it. And then Cedric says, OK, Mackenzie, I couldn't believe just how like open Tucker was about
[00:49:23] this betrayal at the like you just laid everything on the table about Cedric. I mean, I couldn't believe he did this despite being told explicitly not to like again, this wasn't in the episode, but Cedric went to Tucker and said, use the veto on yourself.
[00:49:42] We don't have the numbers. I don't want to do it. And Tucker said, I don't give a right. I'm going to do it anyway. And then had the gall to be like, how dare you not follow through? Yeah, let me I got the fight. Here's Tucker versus Cedric.
[00:50:01] Hope you up here next time battling me in the arena. That's we got we got to play. Yeah, we do. It's not a smart move. You know, there's better players in here that you should put up with stronger power ups and you just blindsided me.
[00:50:17] So good luck whenever I'm battling you out there, bro. Yeah, OK. All that I heard from that is that Tucker is about to put himself up as a pawn again next week so that he can be in the. Oh, yeah.
[00:50:31] I also like like the like like bravado of like, I'll see you in the arena. Want to go outside to take it today? And yeah, it's a blindfold of the BBC. Yeah, it was. There's Rob. There's more of that to come. Believe me.
[00:50:57] Cedric's just like, all right, man. Yes, brother. Sure. I love Cedric's reaction to the whole thing. This is like how Cedric just reacts to everything. But I feel like it riles the other person up so much more because when that person is
[00:51:12] like going crazy and you're just kind of like, yeah, OK, that's when I really get a reaction. That's what I do to my mom, honestly. She's probably watching this. You're going to get mad at me.
[00:51:21] But when my mom gets mad at me, I'm like, OK, you look crazy and it drives her nuts. I love to do every time. Sorry, mommy. No, it's a great strategy. And it's so true. It's like nothing enrages the person more than not getting the reaction they expect
[00:51:36] and not meeting their energy and just being like, oh, my God, you're so composed while I'm acting crazy. I hate this so much. Why are you like this? Megan, the chat says the arena is Tucker's hall brawl. He would be great. He loves it. Oh, yeah.
[00:51:51] Oh, he'll definitely. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's perfect for him. Now, if it's not a if it's not a puzzle tomorrow and it's something else, is he going to say, I like I love whatever that is like, I don't know. I love clown shoe.
[00:52:13] Yeah, I love scavenger hunts. We'll see. Yeah, I love trivia. Do you think this British character, one of his things that he slipped into? I don't know. He's always doing different voices. It's not always accents like did you notice, Rob, right before?
[00:52:33] OK, there's two points that he he did like a Tony Vlachos like, oh, like I don't know if anyone caught this, but right before the veto meeting, before he goes out and then he also does a weird voice where he's like, hey, guys, it's time for the Vito.
[00:52:52] I mean, I don't know what I can't remember, but I know it was weird. He did a I swear it might have been when he was putting on the veto necklace. Um, anyway, if anyone can go back. Yeah, I needed this.
[00:53:09] It was literally was it that or was it that? It was kind of like a hybrid of that. Honestly, it's like he loves to like he loves a mashup. Yeah. OK, it's exciting. All right. Tomorrow night, they promise the house will blow up. Taryn, are they being hyperbolic?
[00:53:27] No. OK. OK. Wait, are we not going to talk about the fact that McKenzie just whipped out this American Vito for your pocket? I loved I loved how it happened, too. Actually, it's not. That's good. That's good. I can't wait to use this in on podcasts.
[00:53:46] Actually, it's not. Did she just have this like is it like an immunity idol where you have to bring it to tribal in order to use it? Like, does she have to bring it to the Vito? She was ready.
[00:53:57] I think that they had like they had Ainsley ready to go. They had the thing in her pocket. She was ready for the American Vito. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if if it if that was like take two. Yeah. It's in my room. I need a second production.
[00:54:16] I'd like to use it. And then, OK, everyone stop down, come to the diary room. They give her the thing then and then she does. Actually, it's not like I. I don't need to sit here for 10 minutes. Give it a line.
[00:54:31] They need like the equivalent of like the survivor, like bags that they take to tribal council in case they have any trinkets like they need to have like their own little sack. Yeah.
[00:54:44] Even though it's all in the house on the beach, she said she had to go get it from production in the middle of all this. So, yeah. Oh, really? I love that. Incredible flying in. Right. I mean, it's a pretty it was pretty big.
[00:54:55] I think it would feel like that would be too bulky to like put in a pocket. Do we need to do the spoiler warning here today? I mean, is there anything that we're spoiling at this point that has is beyond the episode?
[00:55:10] I mean, like because we don't even know who's on the block. I want to do it just because I want to do the dance. OK, we'll do it. All right. Here comes to rob us of that. It's here for QT. Here's the spoiler song.
[00:55:27] The Office of Civil Defense has issued the following message. This is a spoiler. A spoiler warning means that an actual spoiler against this country has been detected and that protective action should be taken. OK, all right. Thank you for that. Anytime. OK. All right.
[00:55:45] So, Taren, I know that we the House was shooketh on Monday after the veto ceremony. And we talked about the lay of the land a little bit as we head into this potential vote on Thursday. But what's been going on today?
[00:56:02] Well, right after that veto ceremony, they stayed put and had a house meeting where Tucker outed Quinn's power. He again called Cedric out and said, I'm coming for you. You're my target. He basically did an Angela like, like, Quinn, I think you are a threat.
[00:56:24] But I but I think you're a great guy. I think you're all great, except for you, Cedric. I'm coming for you. You're my target. And so then Quinn had to do a whole apology tour explaining why he didn't tell people about his power.
[00:56:38] There's been a ton of a ton of there was a ton of back and forth about that. And then Tucker, as we just kind of talked about, like, hadn't quite gotten his fill of of being mad at Cedric because Cedric was not like rising to the bait.
[00:56:54] So he went back in for round two, again, accusing Cedric of not warning him that he wasn't in on the plan anymore. And to which Cedric was like, I did roll back the tapes. And Tucker was like, I will watch it back and the truth will prevail.
[00:57:10] And it turns out the truth, according to Tucker, is what is what's going to prevail. But Cedric was telling the truth. Cedric called him a little boy amongst other things. Or sorry, Tucker called Cedric a little boy amongst other things. But how old is Tucker? I don't know.
[00:57:28] Is he 30? I want to say he's 30. I think he's 30. OK. But so there is lots of drama. There's been a lot of back and forth about who to vote out. And it has landed on Kenny, primarily because Kenny is still talking about the women being in an alliance.
[00:57:49] Brooklyn called him out on that. They had a little bit of a fight. T-Core was mad at Kimo for not telling her about Quinn's power. They're still kind of like repairing that relationship.
[00:58:00] Rubina was told by Tucker that they would be something outside of the house, but not inside the house. And she's been campaigning for Tucker to stay. And she's mad at Quinn now. Joseph has just been like really happy about all this. Cedric is really happy about it.
[00:58:18] He's been talking about it. He's been talking about it. He's been like, oh, I'm so happy about all this. Cedric is kind of back on Team Quinn after the whole thing because he feels like he needs Quinn now and Quinn needs him.
[00:58:30] And he just stood up for Quinn. It's a whole big mess, Rob. There's a ton of stuff. Yeah. Look, remember, it was only a couple days ago. We're like, is anything going to happen in this house?
[00:58:41] And that's why I think the best result is to not neutralize all of this tension so soon. Let's take out the person that doesn't even want to be there. Jenny was once a podcaster of a little show called, what was it called? The Edge of what?
[00:59:03] Beyond the Edge. Beyond the Edge. This is the second time that show has come up today, which is so bizarre. Yeah. Don't just like end the tension now. No. What you're saying, Rob, is that you want to have the crush. Not the showmans. Yes, yes.
[00:59:23] We'll enjoy the chase. You want the edge. You know? Right. So is there anybody like that of if we look at the people that are potentially like could go up, is there any other scenario besides Quinn? I know that QQ wants Joseph. Yeah. No.
[00:59:47] But no, I think it's going to just be Quinn. At the end of the day. Did you see his mustache? He feels like the mustache is his saving grace for some reason. Like what? No, yeah, I think it's definitely going to be Quinn.
[01:00:01] What I can say is that it would be fun if even though we already know, like everyone in the house knows that Quinn has the power. He's still probably if he's in the house next week, going to use it.
[01:00:12] It would be great if we got a Tucker HOH and then Quinn is the one like taking it over. Yeah, because then Tucker's safe from Quinn. But then it also like makes the Quinn and Tucker back and forth kind of a little bit more like interesting to watch.
[01:00:28] I think that would be fun. So that's what I'm ready for. Best case scenario for sure. QT is also team edge and I let's let it build a little bit, you know? Quinn Tucker, keep it going for another week. No, it's meant to be.
[01:00:44] Yes, Taryn, does Quinn have a sense of how much danger he's in? Yes, he expects to go on the block. And now I know even more why. I'll be honest, it's been real easy to lie to these people.
[01:00:59] He knows what he's been told to say in the diary room. Yeah, I mean, that's so interesting that he would get the sense that he's going up on the block, because I would think that Quinn would probably be thinking he's a big fan favorite.
[01:01:12] Considering the way he's acting. That's what Joseph is thinking. That's the way he's acting, Rob. It's so important to recognize the difference between how somebody acts like in the diary room versus how they act like on the feed.
[01:01:24] Which is not to say that Quinn is not arrogant on the feeds, which he is, but not quite to this level. And so I think he very much recognizes that this is very likely going to be him. And he's trying to make sure that he has the votes.
[01:01:39] But I also don't think that like there. Do you really think that Quinn is going to completely always say he will he will embellish the things? But there's got to be a little part of him that feels some of these things he's saying, right?
[01:01:56] Like he's just saying things that are completely fabricated. I mean, he could. In the diary. Yeah, I mean, that's what happens. But maybe I just have too much hope in it, like not being like that, like having a little bit of a pushback to being like,
[01:02:16] hmm, could I probably say that a different way? Right. Like if you hear it in the diary room, it's more like, well, it could be true. As opposed to like it's it could be fake, like it's it's the other way around. It's more likely to be fake.
[01:02:31] It's more likely to be what they wanted him to say than then actually. Which, again, I would say I think it could be true. I think it definitely is tapping into something. I've seen his camera talks. He definitely has some unearned swagger there.
[01:02:46] But you can even hear it in this soundbite that I'm playing. Like this is not a natural cadence that he is that he has in this moment. I think a lot of his diary. It's been real easy to lie to these people.
[01:03:01] Yeah, even though it's giving Paul Palfiore. Yeah, it's really easy to lie to these people. It's very clearly a lie. Yeah. Honestly, this was a moment that they captured from Angela when they were talking about Angela was losing it. Little mama. What?
[01:03:27] You know, also totally worth worth noting that like a line like that, it's easy to lie to these people. It's being played in a moment where he's so clearly being caught lying. But he's probably referencing something entirely different where people were buying what he was selling. Yeah, yeah.
[01:03:45] That is the thing. It's like you have no context for when some of these diary rooms were taken. So yeah. One of the fun ones. It was in an outfit for our chatters here on YouTube is that if you jump in late. Ainsley is on YouTube also.
[01:04:01] And sometimes the YouTube AI will tell you in the chat, in case you missed something, what people are talking about. I love when people send us during the show. Purple Mario sent this to me and grabs this clip that says,
[01:04:19] viewers in the chat are discussing who they think will go on the block with Kenny wanting Kenny to be voted out. Tucker and Kimo are also popular targets as are MJ gummies in California. What? When did we utter the word California? MJ gummies. Are popular.
[01:04:39] I feel like Tucker might even have a channel about MJ gummies. About the MJ gummies. Yeah, yeah. He's interested in the MJ gummies. So all right. Good. Good to know. All right. Anything else as we head into a very day of intrigue on Thursday night?
[01:05:02] I'm excited for tomorrow's episode and to see what they put in it. I mean, like Taryn explained everything that happened, but I'm sure like not even half of it will be in the episode. But it was exciting to watch on feeds at least.
[01:05:13] That's why you got to watch the feeds. Yeah. Yeah. And I would say again, like, it's hard for me to judge what this episode feels like without knowing all of the other stuff. So it's like, from my perspective, this was a disappointment because I
[01:05:27] like foolishly got my hopes up that this would be a very like fun and fulfilling episode. But this probably was, I would assume, a very fun episode for most people that did not have that extra stuff because it still was. It was a good ceremony.
[01:05:46] I mean, all of this stuff that Tucker's doing. Yeah. The first 45 was like kind of a snoozer. And that's my problem. What if we get some black and white tomorrow, Taryn, to like fill in? Because they always have to do the veto meeting at the end.
[01:05:57] And maybe they just like, maybe they're going to do a little bit of post veto. And then I'm really big on the like flashback edit right now. So it would be fun if they could just give us like some like previous context
[01:06:13] in like black and white in the next video. Not really something they tend to do. A girl can dream. Yeah. I just love when that then when they do that. And there's a lot to do in the Thursday episode between naming the third nominee,
[01:06:26] the AI Arena competition, the vote, the interview, and also like any other fallout, the arguments, the campaign. Like it's going to be very packed to begin with. OK. All right. Well, it'll be a busy day Thursday night, and you're not going to want to miss any of
[01:06:45] the coverage. Of course, Taryn will kick it off in the morning at 11 a.m. Eastern with what's the latest overnight as we head into Thursday, and then we'll be live after the episode at 915 p.m. Eastern time.
[01:06:59] Make sure you don't miss any of our Big Brother coverage when you go to robinwebster.com slash bb26 or if you're on YouTube, hit that subscribe button to get everything we're doing here all summer long. OK, then we've got also coming up. It's oh, the slot.
[01:07:17] We had a very sloppy episode on Monday as America Lopez joined Chappelle and myself. And we talked about really we got into a lot of what Matt's been doing on Tick-Tock. If you've got any of that, Jenny, if you have very little clothing, it's hilarious.
[01:07:37] Matt is crushing the content game over on Tick-Tock and gave us a lot to talk about on the slop and much more. So check that out. Patrons robinwebster.com slash patron, one of the two exclusive Big Brother shows that we do
[01:07:54] on Patreon, including our BBQ&A, which comes out on Friday when Taryn and I take your Big Brother questions live at 3 p.m. Eastern. Earlier tonight, The Wandoff was back. If you don't know what The Wandoff is, if you're a newer listener for several, not several,
[01:08:13] many years during Survivor, Josh Wiggler and I had a Survivor song parody contest, and we brought it back tonight to celebrate the new era on the summer of Survivor. We did not want to lose our YouTube channel, so that was a Twitch exclusive.
[01:08:31] But we posted the full video and also the SoundCloud playlist of all 40 something songs. That's all at robinwebster.com slash patron. And you can get that for free at robinwebster.com slash patron if you want to see the video or the podcast is up now.
[01:08:48] Then, Jenny, you and I got to get together. Shannon Guss from the Summer of Survivor is going to join us for what should be another fun night of Claim to Fame. People in the chat are saying it was a good episode tonight, Jenny, so I can't wait to
[01:09:02] get into it with you. Listen, Claim to Fame has been delivering and my hopes are still very high. You know, they don't let me down. They like to do the little flashback edit that I was talking about.
[01:09:16] So I'm hoping for more of that in tonight's episode and it should be a good time with you and Shannon. QT, do you watch Claim to Fame? I normally do. I was going to say I haven't watched this season yet.
[01:09:27] I watched a little bit of the first episode but haven't really gotten into it. Is it as good as the last two? It's been a wild season. It picks up. The premiere, I feel like the premiere wasn't as good as the premieres of the last two seasons,
[01:09:40] but the season as a whole so far has been very fun. And I don't want to speak for Jenny. I think that we have maybe have had other favorites on the previous seasons in terms of like rootable characters, but it has been a very interesting game.
[01:09:55] Both fun cast. Yes. Yeah. OK. I feel like I don't know any of these people. Like I genuinely have no idea who anyone is related to. Where on the other seasons, there was like at least one or two. You're like, OK, that's Simone Biles' sister. Yeah. Louise. OK.
[01:10:09] All right. And then, of course, become a patron for everything we have going on. Also going to get to a patron five for five with the first lady of podcasting who also
[01:10:16] joined us over on We Know Scripted TV earlier today when I spoke with Josh about this week of House of the Dragon. My wife very into all things House of the Dragon. And we got the chance to talk with her on We Know Scripted TV.
[01:10:34] All right, QT, what's coming up for you? Before I say what's coming up for me, there's something I forgot to mention. I just want to say justice for Kimo and his crush on Tucker because as someone who had
[01:10:45] a crush on a reality TV show, I know it makes you do some crazy stuff. So just want to say that. Yours was reciprocated though. That's true. That's true at least. But still, it makes your like mind go. Who has not had their crushes reciprocated on reality TV.
[01:10:59] Justice for Kimo. Just justice for Kimo all around. But anything going on with me can find on my Instagram, Corey Tyler. That's there. Also, I'm doing a lot of book content on my YouTube. It's just my name, Corey Tyler.
[01:11:14] I feel like I'm always plugging that because I'm just always reading and talking about books and stuff. So yeah. Yeah, that's great. How many notes did you take tonight? I took actually, I was going to say I took no notes.
[01:11:24] I didn't take any written notes, but I always have like a bunch of notes going on somewhere. You know, and I have my Tucker list too. You're very prepared. Yeah. On my things Tucker likes list, I have puzzles, biscuits, and not Leah. Yikes. And now not Cedric.
[01:11:41] Gotta add that. Thanks, Jenny. Jenny, of course, Claim to Fame coming up. Yes. That's going to drop tomorrow morning. What else? That's pretty much, you know, that's the passion project. Rob, you know how I feel. Jenny Otto is the number one Claim to Fame expert in the world.
[01:11:59] That's a big title. I don't know if I can wear that crown, but I'm certainly passionate about it. That's why you must wear the crown because you're reluctant to have it. Okay. Okay. Okay. I see your point. Listen, I'm not going to argue with you, Rob.
[01:12:15] It's been really fun covering the show. It's honestly like an unexpectedly strategic and entertaining television product. I highly recommend it if you want something else in between all of the BB26 consumption. Robhasawebsite.com forward slash fame feed, I believe is our dedicated Claim to Fame feed.
[01:12:39] And you can follow me on social media at Jenny Autumn. I had a great time chatting Big Brother's night. Always fun to get you back on the recap, Jenny. Yeah, thanks. Okay. And then Taryn, what's next for you? Are you feeling better? I'm feeling better.
[01:12:54] Also, Rob, I don't know if you saw this one, but I was sent another chat summary, which was... Oh, good. Viewers are discussing the house guests' actions and personalities. Tucker's personality, Kimo's big age, and Rob's sax playing are among the top 10. Oh, yeah. Listen, better sax playing than...
[01:13:16] Yeah. I was worried. Yeah. Okay. So, look, I'll play the sax anytime for the listeners. They like it. So what I've got going on is you can find me on Twitch. Drown it out.
[01:13:39] I'll be hanging out, watching episodes, playing games, doing all kinds of fun stuff over there. The scripted coverage we do for House of the Dragon, we just recorded the book club podcast. We've got a little bit more coming your way as well.
[01:13:52] And of course, the Tastemakers, where we talk about what's worth watching in the first place when there's so much on TV. And we also recorded about the getaway finale with the Wendover man himself, Sam. We talked about the finale.
[01:14:06] And then we also recently talked to the three finalists. And it was a very fun podcast, a little mini reunion for the getaway. So make sure you check that out as well. Okay. Yeah. Nicole's waiting on that book club, Taren. Okay. Listen, it's coming. Okay. All right.
[01:14:22] Thank you all so much for joining us here tonight. We'd love to read your comments here on YouTube, even after the show. And we'd love to hear from you. And we'll be back tomorrow night to talk about whatever happens.
[01:14:32] And then on Friday, Taren and I will talk to whoever gets voted out on Thursday. So a lot to do still here this week. So thank you for joining us. Take care. Have a good one. Bye.
