Big Brother 28 pushes toward a critical double eviction as trust issues and shaky alliances leave the house on edge. In this solo recap episode hosted by Taran Armstrong, fans get a full rundown of day 69 in the house, with all eyes on how the fallout from a marathon Veto comp and secret deals might reshape the endgame.[00:00:10] Armstrong talk Big Brother looking at the stuff from yesterday All the drama, all the strategy and silliness from Fido to HOH You know he is the reason, you know what's happened Rob said that he could do it, tomorrow he will do it again
[00:00:43] Hello everyone and good morning welcome to our live feed update for September 14th I'm your host Taran Armstrong and I'm here today to update you on everything that happened yesterday the big brother 28 live feeds it was day 69 in the house and it was a
[00:01:13] a lazy day a lot of people were tired myself included and so we had we had some conversations we had some talk about the veto competition the night before the day before the 13 hour competition and a huge question on everyone's mind was is Yash gonna spill about the deal is Drew gonna spill about the deal that was made at the end of that competition that question lingers throughout the day so we'll talk about that and
[00:01:43] and I'm here on my own today to give you the update so we'll run through it it's not a big day in terms of things happening we knew this was gonna be a bit of a more straightforward week of course Yash doesn't really have many options in terms of nominations or really targets so not too much in the way of movement but we will talk about what has gone down here today so we
[00:02:13] started the day we started the day with Drew talking to the cameras and immediately we get his thoughts potentially on what he thinks about this deal with Yash basically if you don't recall of course Yash is the HOH he nominated Barrett Drew and Melody and then in a 13 hour long veto competition Drew made a deal with Yash in order to win the veto that said hey we will work together
[00:02:44] and I will vote to keep Taylor as my replacement on the block and we'll keep this a secret so Drew talks to the cameras the night after or sorry the morning after and it's you know ridiculous that he's awake and moving at all he's like looking like he's totally fine after the experience that he had the day before in fact he looks better the morning after
[00:03:13] competition than he looked at the start of the competition than he looked at the start of the competition the day before but he tells the cameras that he thinks a true ceasefire with Yash where maybe that just like the two of them win out together to going toward the end might genuinely be his best chance at this point why not?
[00:03:37] yeah D and Devins they've basically ignored him all week so maybe he would win HOH and target them maybe he should continue this ceasefire with Yash I think essentially the idea here would be take out the icons actually go with this you know again the ceasefire and then you know for work it out from there whoever is whoever remains of Barrett and Melody
[00:04:06] he'd still of course probably work with them to some degree but I think he's feeling himself a little bit like hey I'm a comp winner now I've won two blockbusters I've won an HOH and now I've won this veto and like I just need to keep winning that's what I need to do
[00:04:29] and screw anybody else that decides they don't want to work with me or they don't want to trust me so Melody though is upset in the morning of course this was a very bad outcome for her she was not able to win herself and Drew winning opens up a large possibility that she might leave this week because if Barrett wins the blockbuster
[00:04:55] it's looking it's looking it's looking quite bad for Melody to stay so she's upset and Drew talks to Devins about it and Devins like well yeah she's upset she was really rooting for Yash to win the veto because and you're like oh yeah that makes sense because like if I win the veto Taylor goes up there's more of a chance that Melody goes home it makes sense
[00:05:22] um Drew says that he knows he was going home if he didn't win the veto uh and Devins admits to him straight up it's wild how often this happens now this is you might say like oh yeah well it's obvious but it's not it's really not Devins says well yeah I probably would have voted you out over Melody uh if that had if it had come down to it you know with the with the sort of um implication being
[00:05:48] against Barrett he would have evicted Barrett but like hey he's not stupid enough to evicted Malady over Drew and I think Devins says this because Devins is still working under the assumption that obviously Drew had been working against him that they aren't locked in together that like all of this suspicion around Drew at least some of it is true and therefore it's not even worth trying to lie and pretend like he would
[00:06:18] keep Drew over Melody that's such a stupid decision he would never do it but I so disagree because Drew has been so loyal specifically to Devins and if Devins just reciprocated even just pretended to reciprocate a bit of that loyalty and would have been like yeah it would have been tough to keep you against Melody but you know we would have given it a shot you would have had me I don't know if you would have had D
[00:06:47] I don't know if you would have had you know even Barrett at that point but like you would have had me we would have tried something but yeah it probably wouldn't have looked great um like just it's just so easy I feel it's just so easy and I think that like so many people forget on Big Brother that you know it's not you don't have to just like accept
[00:07:13] like ah well this is the logical thing therefore it's not even worth trying uh and then sometimes people like you know then on the reverse side of that you have like the yosh side of it where it's like this is unbearably obvious I'm still gonna lie to your face about it in a way that makes it sound even worse it's like can we please just find the middle ground here it feels like there's a lot of it
[00:07:40] in between these things um so he tells Drew this he he asks Drew what he and Yash talked about after uh after Barrett left because they all watched Drew and Yash talk to each other in the veto competition on the screen they couldn't hear what they were saying this was when Drew was making the deal with Yash uh so they saw that conversation but they couldn't hear what was being said and so
[00:08:10] they're asking Drew about it Devin's and then D joins and asks him also and Drew doesn't tell him so I was just yapping I was just being annoying I was you know I was like freaking him out trying to get him to drop uh I tried to offer my have uh my never have never not pass I stumbled over that I didn't remember the never it's not a never have not it's a never not
[00:08:41] never not have maybe which is true he did offer the never not pass uh we still don't even know if it's possible to actually give it so uh either way he does not tell them about the deal um Yash is also not telling anybody about the deal that was made between him and Drew uh he tells them that Drew
[00:09:08] was rage baiting and being annoying and that's what was happening in that uh in that time now this does not mean that they won't eventually tell people about this deal nor does it necessarily mean that uh that they don't on this day it's possible we just missed it uh the feeds had been down or their feeds are going to go down for a bit uh a few times during the day um but it does seem like they have
[00:09:35] not said anything uh it doesn't really behoove them to do so which hasn't stopped them in the past particularly Drew in the past from exposing more than he should about deals he's made or whatever but you know it's you know it's never too late to start playing a little more logically
[00:09:56] uh so the day continues uh Drew is going to if he has the option choose Devin's Barrett and Melody uh or something along those lines for the movie uh it's not hugely important uh and uh but before the movie happens the movie by the way the prize for winning the veto is sponsored by the movie
[00:10:24] and uh but before that happens feeds go down for something else they get videos from home and uh you know you know what this is they all sit in the living room up on the screen recorded videos from home and they're all kind of standing around the living room after feeds come back after they've watched these videos some of them are pumped about it Devin's in particular is
[00:10:49] really happy to have seen his wife children uh like helps quell that anxiety about like what if something is wrong unfortunately for a couple of the players it did not help quell the anxiety that something was wrong it in fact stoked the flames of anxiety Taylor and Melody both felt like oh there's something was off something was off in the video uh Taylor was like it just
[00:11:19] something my mom wasn't saying uh and Melody agrees she said my I felt the same way I know my mom really well she wasn't acting normally uh like I feel like something's wrong uh and I think like this is largely the idea that like um that if there was something wrong you wouldn't want to say it to make your
[00:11:47] to make the person worried in the house and so they're worried that there being that information is being kept from them in order to make them not worried which is making them worried is kind of the idea here um there was speculation about like yeah like other stuff maybe game related stuff maybe whatever else um but not a ton of indication that that's uh that's really the case
[00:12:15] here uh other than just again the idea that like oh it just really felt like because Melody was particularly focused on her mom uh and what her mom was not saying um but uh but it certainly can I think also remind you of other people uh from home that uh you know you maybe haven't thought about
[00:12:37] in a little while uh maybe worried about them in various ways either way Melody's feeling pretty upset about it Taylor goes to her pod uh to be upset about it as well um there's one other thing though which is that Devin's in fact not just Devin's but they all noticed so like Barrett's family
[00:13:03] was according to them dropping all kinds of references uh at one point they say trust your gut which they're like oh is that a reference to the Angela thing like they're not sure because it's such a generic phrase but also somebody in the background I think of of Barrett's video uh did this gesture the kind of like slicing your throat gesture uh which Barrett identified as oh that's a Mallory
[00:13:33] thing uh he talked to Yash about he said that's a Mallory thing that they did um Devin's also caught this and talked to Dee about it she's like he's that's why he's gotta go he's gotta go um so you know some interesting you know some interesting things here from the from the family video
[00:13:59] Melody talks to Barrett they have a long conversation um a very a very long conversation gets interrupted they move they continue the conversation it's primarily just complaining about Drew if I'm being honest uh just more and more complaints about Drew how much Drew sucks uh and how much it's all Drew's fault for everything that ever happened to them in their life um they though also don't believe that Yash is capable able to put up Devin's it's that's not
[00:14:29] the case uh it's he's lying to them he can't he obviously can't but he's not gonna put up Taylor because he made a handshake deal with Devin's it's just not it's just come on uh they wonder if the icons would maybe consider evicting Taylor no no no it doesn't even make any logical sense for them to do that so why why even bother why even bother it's not like they would ever do that they would
[00:14:58] want to obviously break up the three of us so uh not no it doesn't make any sense it's like this is what I'm talking about it's like who cares if it makes sense that's the point did it make sense to keep D no but D convinced them anyway like this is the whole thing like how about stop blaming Drew
[00:15:24] for all your troubles and start trying to actually do something please like come on now what are we doing now there was one point despite a lot of complaining about Drew Melody is like man if only Drew hadn't said that stuff well I guess I guess it didn't really matter what Drew said because because of Yash's bribe this is exactly what would have happened anyway
[00:15:53] but still they also talk about jury there's there's been so much talk it's I would say um like last season there was a lot of talk about how Vince was not going to win the game but other than that like Vince was not going to win the game obviously no one would vote for Ashley
[00:16:20] Morgan is going to win that was large like it wasn't like a huge topic of conversation um season before that barely any talk about jury stuff there's like a little bit of talk like oh obviously Chelsea Chelsea's gonna win uh but by the end of the by the end of that season Chelsea was the only person who like even understood the end game uh so like nobody really understood um and uh and 25
[00:16:50] you know the the little talk there was was all about how Matt was obviously gonna win um not that much this season has had so much talk about the jury about like who would we vote for who are we okay with winning uh it's all over the place and so Melody and Barrett talk about it here now of course previously Melody was saying I would never vote for Yash now because of this stupid bribe
[00:17:20] uh that has changed as we expected uh they talk about wanting to see each other win Barrett says genuinely you are the only person I care to see win this game uh and she agrees she reciprocates uh they talk about how they absolutely don't want to see Drew win the game uh they would basically vote for anybody over Drew uh except for maybe D they'd vote for they'd vote for Drew over D uh but basically
[00:17:48] anybody else they'd vote over Drew including probably Taylor and Devins um and uh and they would vote for Yash over basically anybody at this point Barrett says it's Yash's Yash's game to lose uh so that is roughly where they stand at the moment we'll see uh there's a little more clarification here on
[00:18:14] especially like uh you know Devins versus D how much credit either one of them gets uh that that I find a little bit interesting but we'll see um Yash Taylor Devins and D though are gonna hang out and they talk about locking in together as uh as a final four and they try to discuss some names what are the names that they would have they don't really come up with anything that they love uh they try to think about
[00:18:43] like the Focker they'd never be allowed to use the Fockers as their name um and uh and so they talk about the game plan Barrett leaves this week Drew leaves next week they uh they know that it's the four of them they've done that they've done it you know and they talk about how oh man you know when when we were thinking about whether or not we wanted to keep you and make this happen
[00:19:09] Taylor was really like gosh she was like we gotta do it and Yash was like yeah yeah we gotta do it so we'll see I don't think anybody in this final four is particularly loyal to this final four maybe Devins is probably the most loyal to it but uh again we'll see they do end up watching the movie and you know it was a movie they watched a movie uh after the movie though Taylor and Yash are talking
[00:19:40] they um they say we think we're good that was a good conversation that we had with Devins and D they believe in that final four uh they think that um that Barrett and Melody also still believe in the final four and so man it would have been great if they were able to get Drew out this week uh and uh
[00:20:05] you know that would have been amazing but they can't so that's frustrating so ideally Drew goes next um if if Drew goes next then they're in a position to work with the remaining person of Barrett or Melody and take out the icons that's the idea Taylor says Drew's Drew goes next once he's gone
[00:20:33] once Drew is gone it frees us up to target the icons and Yash agrees he says I'd rather get the icons out next and Taylor says yes but Drew has to go next first and he says yes yes I agree Drew has to go first best case scenario icons when the next HOH take out Drew for us then we take out the icons um
[00:20:57] so again this is an interesting conversation in the sense that it's it doesn't appear that Yash is explaining the deal he made with Drew uh Taylor in particular is talking about how Drew needs to go before they target the icons it did seem like Yash hesitated on that point but uh but eventually agreed with her seemingly wholeheartedly and uh and also again kind of like didn't encourage Taylor to
[00:21:26] be the one to take the shot at Drew uh which makes sense both if he wants to honor the deal with Drew and work with him to some degree it also makes sense just because if Taylor is the one to take out Drew then they head into the final five where the icons are probably taking a shot at them and only this time Taylor can't win the HOH um the idea of course would be that if Barrett leaves this week
[00:21:51] nobody's going to bother targeting Melody problem is if Melody leaves this week that gets a little more complicated but I imagine that they would still feel good about targeting the icons certainly if Drew is gone they would work with Barrett uh so again I think that this final four is extremely unlikely to last until the final four Taylor's looking to take a shot now at the final five um I think Yash could
[00:22:19] maybe go a little earlier than that but uh D and Devins are currently not planning to take the shot at six though D again has already suggested it once could happen again now Melody is not going to lie down completely and not campaign uh she of course is thinking about the conversation that Drew had with her
[00:22:47] uh I think on Friday uh might have been Thursday night where Drew said all right if it's the three of us up on the block I'll win the veto use it on you and then I'll win the blockbuster and that'll keep both of us safe uh and she was like you promise and he he talked about it a little bit like he didn't
[00:23:14] drop it he was he kind of you know he really was like maybe I would do that I don't know uh and so she's like okay well he he said he would use the veto on me so maybe I've got a little bit of room to work with here uh now yes of course she should be trying this but what has she done since he offered
[00:23:40] just continued to complain about him spent most of her time with Barrett rooted against him in the veto competition uh and now that he's won the veto she's like so it's just like Melody you like I don't think there's I think there's actually a world where this could have worked if you had bothered to continue
[00:24:08] to work on Drew as an ally like what are we doing um it's just like it's it's so frustrating because listen I will say this right I think that people are too hard on players that don't win competitions I say this every single season I am always the person who is trying to defend players who have no
[00:24:37] power have never had power because they can't win competitions it's so easy to dunk on them and call them stupid and call them worthless whatever because they don't win competitions and therefore they have no value in the game I don't think that's fair uh I think that like you have to give them a certain amount of leeway that like at the end of the day they were cast for a show that has competitions
[00:25:03] that they're just not suited for and they end up floundering because the game is about power and competitions largely and they're not dan giesling and they can't do anything without competitions um like most players who win a bunch of competitions would be worthless without winning those competitions
[00:25:26] that's just that's just it right uh that said if you are one of those players that isn't winning competitions you gotta work your ass off you know what I mean like you gotta it just puts you in a position where you should be trying even harder ideally um and and again to give melody some credit I think that at the start of the game she was a pretty active player who was trying uh but her not
[00:25:56] only did she not win power her allies her side never won power and so she watched as her allies were picked off one by one by one by one uh and so you know I think she's kind of developed a sense of learned helplessness here but that's not like really an excuse to not be working on the allies that she does still have and I think this is the biggest criticism I have of her is that like as frustrated as she is
[00:26:23] withdrew he's still a huge asset to her game or could be if she bothered to like actually get in with him and work with him she just is constantly complaining to him about him and not like she's I don't think she sees the relationship as a game relationship I think she sees it as a personal relationship
[00:26:50] and so she feels entitled to his loyalty because of how close they are when the reality is that you aren't entitled to anybody's loyalty in the game you need to work on it you need to like grab their loyalty by the throat and say they have to be loyal to me because of how I'm playing the game and I don't think that's how melody is operating with drew here uh and so when she goes to
[00:27:20] uh when she goes to to ask him if he'll use the veto on her she has she has no leverage she has no personal real personal relationship strings to pull and she has absolutely no game relationship strings to pull why would he do this and take such a big risk when she's not even an ally that like
[00:27:45] he can rely on not just to win competitions but to even be loyal to him in any way she was planning to vote him out this week over barrett and he kind of knows that so it's like what are we doing what are we doing um but listen I'm not gonna fault her for trying it's just what I'm faulting her for is how
[00:28:10] sort of lame duck the try was because she hadn't been trying until this moment right uh like the trying failed in large part because she never never got anywhere to begin with um so can you please use
[00:28:30] the veto on me he says why well you you can win the blockbuster well what if I don't then you still stay like do I like do I what if Barrett wins yeah I don't know about that but he's like listen I just stand 12 hours for this one and and they laugh she's trying to keep it light but you know it's a
[00:28:56] genuine try and she keeps trying and she's trying for like a good 30 minutes uh like keeps coming back to it uh trying to find any angle she can but it's just like uh you know it's not quite Vince trying to convince Lauren but to to be a pawn but it's pretty bad it's like at one point she's like
[00:29:20] can I can I tell you a secret actually no only if you use the veto on me and she was just like that's fine I'm not that curious oof oof so Barrett in the meantime he's
[00:29:43] walking outside he's talking to cameras uh he says he's he's practicing sort of like the line he's practicing this speech that he wants to make to the icons uh as an attempt to as a campaign to potentially get him get them to keep him um and the pitch will be hey I'm willing to do whatever you
[00:30:08] want in this game I'm not going to target you I'll target whoever you want and and guess what you don't even need to pay me 5k I'll do it for free uh and I actually I do like that line I do like the line because D and Devins have spent like a month feeling super safe because of the 5k
[00:30:32] bribe like it's just a nice little safety blanket that they've had this little safety blanket uh and before that they had the safety blanket of the diamond power of Vita they've spent much of this game feeling pretty like feeling like they've always had something in their back pocket and now that Yash has won this HOH and the bribe is done they are facing heading into next week with zero safety
[00:30:59] blanket with zero trinkets in their pockets uh for the first time truly like in the game for a while uh really for almost the entire game and so even though it's a small thing I do like the idea of invoking the 5k like hey you don't need 5k to bribe me I'll do this for free it's it's a small way of
[00:31:25] saying hey here's me offering you another trinket maybe it's not official but it's a replacement for what you've got um and you can sort of like activate those same like neurons in their brain that are like oh I want I want that I've been I'm I'm sad that I'm losing my my safety blanket it would be nice to have another one even if it's a regular blanket uh as opposed to just a normal pitch of like
[00:31:54] hey I'll target whoever you want whatever uh just like this small sort of subconscious idea of linking the 5k bribe transfer it to me I don't even need the 5k um is it gonna work probably not but you know Barrett's in a pretty uh it's exactly what I was saying will it work probably not but it's worth trying that's exactly what I was saying about Barrett and Melody earlier when they were like well will
[00:32:18] they keep us like thank you Barrett yes try um now similarly though it would be great if Barrett had been working on his relationship with the icons instead of spending most of his time complaining about Drew uh and so this is also you know in part of why it's likely to not work is because he hasn't been doing that but again I at least like this approach more than Melody's approach with Drew which
[00:32:47] was like will you do it um and I think that Dee sort of exemplified this as well that just prepping what you want to say to somebody can be really huge you know just like having some kind of structure to it some kind of uh like hey this is a this is a well thought out idea I'm not just throwing shit
[00:33:11] out uh like I've thought about this and this is why I think it you know you should keep me or you should do a thing or whatever right and if you sound too scripted you know it's gonna it's not not gonna work out but like uh just having an angle an approach something that they wouldn't have already thought about because they're not thinking about it as hard as you are that's kind
[00:33:34] of the idea I think anyway here's part of the problem of uh of Barrett's pitch he plans to tell Yash and Taylor and Drew about it because it's fake it's a fake pitch he plans on not honoring this uh and he's he's planning on telling basically the rest of the house that he doesn't plan to honor it
[00:33:59] and uh seems to expect that that won't get back to the icons we'll see about that so he does talk to Drew uh and this is kind of the last conversation of the night that we'll talk through um Barrett talks about how it's a long conversation he thinks he thinks the icons are going to
[00:34:25] target Yash next they should because Yash is probably just going to win out from here um he tells Drew about his pitch he's going to do whatever they want he they don't need to pay him 5k but he's not going to honor it uh so Drew now knows and uh and then they talk about again who they would vote to win
[00:34:46] uh again talking about how uh Barrett thinks that uh they probably would he probably would that Yash is going to win out that Yash has got a great chance to win and that uh that Devin's has so much on his resume he certainly would vote for Devin's over D. D hasn't really done much because Devin's is the one
[00:35:12] he and he literally says he says Devin's used the diamond power veto he took out Kamu uh Devin's took out Rome uh Devin's swindled Yash and Taylor into keeping D last week he doesn't have much on her resume
[00:35:33] uh and we know with certainty that that is not true now thing is if D and Devin's are in the final two that would mean that Taylor and Yash are in the jury which should mean that Taylor and Yash should at some point explain that their plan had been to evict Devin's in the event that Devin's lost
[00:36:00] the blockbuster uh and therefore the fact that D stayed and Devin's didn't should be differentiated that should be something that uh that differentiates the two games and gives credit to D for having done that Devin's not having done that but quite frankly I don't think it will matter a whole lot uh not only
[00:36:23] does it require Yash and Taylor to to talk about it in that way and it's not super likely to uh to even be brought up like they I think they're not gonna be thinking about like oh well and we need to make sure D gets credit for for convincing us to keep her but not Devin's um and who knows what happens game-wise between them in in in this time uh but it also like I think even if it does happen
[00:36:50] if you're already so inclined to vote for Devin's over D you're thinking like oh well yeah sure that makes sense then I guess because Devin's was such a bigger target he's played the better game and then he managed to save himself uh and I I just don't think that you suddenly go wait that means that D is amazing uh if you're already angled in that direction now I I've already made myself clear on this uh
[00:37:16] topic I mean obviously they've both played uh I wouldn't say they've played like dramatically uh different games they've played together the whole time um but it does appear that D is being significantly undervalued and this has been part of her strategy throughout the season is to uh is to sort of like be the lesser threat to sort of be seen as not quite as like on top of things whereas
[00:37:44] Devin's is a lot more like yeah I know what I'm doing um which has put Devin's in the line of fire now twice um but uh I guess it'll be interesting to see if D is able to overturn this perception or just make sure she doesn't get there with Devin's uh because at least on Barrett and Melody's end
[00:38:08] now to be fair Drew didn't seem quite as down with this perception uh this was Barrett explaining to Drew the way he thought Drew's perception was like well D is good at everything uh like he was really impressed by D in general but obviously Drew and Devin's have a much better relationship Devin's is his dad basically so I don't think you're looking if you're D you're looking for Drew to be
[00:38:35] your one advocate here um so uh you know it's again it's like that's that's looking rough for for D if uh the three fat members are all already Devin's voters like that's that's not the best place to be now you might have Angela and Lala and then if you can get Yash and Taylor that's four but uh
[00:39:03] that's it's that's a tight vote it's a tight vote uh anyway that's largely what I've got for you for the day um like I said we have a pretty straightforward week ahead of us it's really going to come down to this blockbuster whether Barrett or Melody leaves there is that chance there's always that chance that this vote could flip on Taylor it shouldn't it doesn't make any
[00:39:28] sense to but it never made any sense to last week either so we'll see uh I anyway any questions from the chat before we wrap this up any questions here uh is the blockbuster over after the double eviction yes uh after the double eviction we will be at the final five uh and the blockbuster is is
[00:39:55] impossible to run at the final five because uh if uh the uh fourth there's five people you have four people that you're eligible to nominate nominate three of them the fourth person wins wants to use the veto they can't there's nobody else to nominate uh so they they really run it until it's basically impossible uh to keep to keep it going how likely is it for Drew and Yash to actually work together
[00:40:19] I don't think they're like locked into a final two or anything but I think that they have both they're both currently this is their safety blanket right like this is their thing in their back pocket that like maybe if I keep this quiet in my and our interests happen to align this will keep Drew off
[00:40:43] my back this will keep Yash off my back for a round or two I think that's largely the idea um if it made sense to target Yash I'm sure Drew would if it made sense to target Drew I'm sure Yash would but it gives them a little bit of extra incentive it frees them up a little bit to look at other targets uh I think is kind of the idea here um let's see if the blockbuster is ropes will bear it be at a disadvantage
[00:41:11] because of his height um I don't think it's like purely height uh but I do think it doesn't help right uh just you know the taller you are the longer your limbs are uh the more of you that needs to get through every bit of rope um doesn't mean big people can't win this competition but you've got
[00:41:35] to be quick you've got to be uh like um precise and I'm not sure that Barrett uh is going to have that kind of precision and quickness compared to maybe Taylor who I think might have a better shot at this but you never really know you know it's you can make guesses but you never really know
[00:42:05] who has the most win equity in the house right now I would still say it's Yash especially considering that the icons haven't locked in that they want to target Yash yet obviously I think Yash is in a lot of danger in the double eviction but as of right now nobody's actively talking about targeting him this is a chance they don't uh especially if Drew actually holds he said he would target the icons
[00:42:28] in the double eviction that is huge for Yash if it holds uh so let's see here what should Drew do at this point um it's really just went out it's take out anybody you can if if Drew wins the double
[00:42:49] put up the icons uh if uh well actually can you put up the icons you might if you put up the icons you basically guarantee one of them leaves if I'm Drew I'm still really open to the idea of taking out Yash I think Yash is is absolutely a better competitor than Devin's or D and if my shot of winning means I need to win out uh I'd rather Yash leave
[00:43:21] so I think you know there's a world where maybe it's like put up Yash and Taylor Yash wins the veto you put up an icon that icon leaves that's probably the play the problem is you like quote-unquote piss off Yash and he probably comes at you at five uh if you put up two icons
[00:43:48] you could try to backdoor Yash but the votes are then Taylor and um one of Barrett or Melody who both probably vote out the icon and then you still pissed off Yash for no reason so that doesn't really help you uh if you completely leave Yash off the block then your
[00:44:13] replacement nominee is like Taylor or something and you're just praying that Yash if he wins at final five honors the deal and goes after the other icon when he's not really incentivized to so I think I still go after Yash here but you know the that was off the top of my head who's the most in trouble for the double eviction
[00:44:39] I do I think it's Drew or I mean really it's I I think the double eviction will have like Taylor should be lock safe Melody should be lock safe if she survives to the double eviction everybody else is kind of on the table I think um yeah they should they could take a shot
[00:45:05] at Taylor to weaken Yash uh we've talked about this before a bit but basically there's not a lot of reason to Taylor just hasn't I mean she did come you know theoretically uh she did place a little high in the HOH competition but I still think they're underestimating Taylor's ability in competitions um whereas like Melody has like just actually just been pretty bad at most of them Taylor has placed
[00:45:29] decently even in the ones that she hasn't won uh I think that she's still pretty a pretty a relatively capable player considering her stats uh but um but I still think that it's just not worth making that play when there's still a trio in the house any chance Yash pushes to get Melody out over Barrett he shouldn't
[00:45:57] this is I mean he's made a similar move in the past so I can't say he won't but he certainly shouldn't in my opinion uh all right anything else did I catch when Devin's in the kitchen complaining about Melody yes basically uh just talking about how Melody has barely played the game and she she overvalues her own uh sort of value as a player uh and so on and so forth further proof that Melody
[00:46:26] is probably not winning this game regardless of whether or not she stays but yeah no um should more people campaign now in preparation for the double eviction I expect that we will see some more campaigning uh and prepping for the double eviction thing is there's not really like a locked in group right now uh again the closest that we have I think is this uh icons plus plus Taylor and Yash group that wasn't quite named yet um but usually in order to prep for a double you talk to your allies
[00:46:55] about what the plan is but there's not really there aren't many many allies to to plan with uh so I think we'll get D and Devin's planning it I think we'll get uh Yash and Taylor planning it and we know their plan already and then you know I don't think we'll get Drew and whoever stays between Barrett and Melody planning it because they don't know which one's gonna stay and there's not a lot of trust there
[00:47:20] uh but I will tell you it's been reminding me a lot of BB21 uh this end game situation obviously you could look at BB18 for like uh three duos in the final six but I think this actually is a lot more like BB21 uh where you have uh Tommy and Christy you have uh Cliff and Nicole and you have
[00:47:45] Jackson Holly and you're heading into a double eviction at the final six and it's really like what are we gonna do how are we gonna how are we gonna operate here uh so we'll see we'll see either way I think that's about what I've got for you today thank you all so much for joining me here uh here today and here all season long the updates have been uh have been doing so well uh this season
