BB28 Tuesday Live Feed Update September 29, 2026

[00:00:11] [SPEAKER_00] talk Big Brother looking at the stuff from yesterday All the drama, all the strategy and silliness from Fido to HOA Single season, you know he is the reason You know what's happening Rob said that he could do it Tomorrow he will do it again

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_01] Hello everyone and good morning. Welcome to our live feed update for September 29th. I'm your host Taran Armstrong and I'm here today to update you on everything that happened yesterday on the Big Brother 28 live feeds. It was day 84, 84 in the house.

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_01] And I should be a quicker update here as I'm primarily interested in how much they are studying or not studying that has been kind of like the primary function of the entire last week is like who is going to win this final three part three HOH and who is properly studying for it.

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_01] So that's going to be interesting. I think that's something that I think will continue to be the most important part of how sort of we look at this endgame. And that's about it. That's mostly it for now. We'll talk through the studying portion and a couple of other things as we move through the day. Of course, we are in the final

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_01] final three Taylor one part one of the final three HOH. We are now heading to part three where Devens will face off against Taylor Taylor has been studying a lot. Devens under the false assumption because of Drew and his own lack of knowledge that part three is not a quiz has not been studying.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_01] Really at all to this point here on day 84. And so I'm interested to see if he starts studying. Drew talks to the cameras in the morning and he says that he thinks he still has a shot of winning the whole thing.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_01] His best shot is Taylor wins and takes him to the final two. I think that's correct. But he also thinks he might have a shot against Devins. He just has to hope that the jury is anti icon. Later in the night, he's going to talk about how his pitch against Devins can't be too anti icon because there are two icons in the jury and that maybe he would instead want to focus on his comp wins. I don't know if that's really the call considering he didn't win this final three HOH comp.

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_01] And Devins will have. So I personally think he should go full anti icon with his final speech if he can, because I don't think he's getting Angela or D anyway. And I do think his only real shot is to tap into that if you had one to begin with. But it is what it is.

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_01] He said last night, Devins and Taylor, they were bickering hard. Hopefully that's good enough to encourage them to take me to the final two even more. So Devins comes out. He does start asking Drew about time machine dates. These are the dates that they are time traveling to for each competition.

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_01] Some of them have been studying those dates all season long. Taylor, one of those people who knows most of those dates. Drew also knows a good amount of those dates. So Devins is asking Drew about them and Drew starts to give him some of the answers. He doesn't remember all of them, but he gives him some of the dates that he has.

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_01] But Drew's like, I mean, I just, I don't think it would be that. It would be such a weird thing for them to make as a competition at this point. And Devins is like, yeah. And you said it's usually endurance, mental and social, right? And Drew's like, well, that's how I view it. I think that's what it's supposed to be. It's just like he, Drew says, I just think there's no studying for that last part. As much as she wants to say there is, this is of course referring to Taylor who correctly believes that you should be studying for it.

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_01] He says, but Taylor's also been running the whole game and knew everything that's been happening. So, you know, she doesn't know what she's talking about essentially is the implication there from Drew. Of course, we know she does know what she's talking about and Devins very much should be studying. But again, this ironically is helpful for Drew considering his chances are, of course, a lot better than, better sitting next to her than Devens.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_01] So, Devins talks to the cameras and he says, man, this is much later in the day. He's in the hammock. He's talking to the cameras because Drew went to talk to Taylor. And he says, man, it's really boring here. Really boring. It's like, I mean, I've got this big competition coming up, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do to prepare for it. Like, I know my dates and stuff. Like, I know when people won and everything.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_01] Like, if it's going to be a quiz like that, I know that stuff. And I've already made my pitch to Taylor. So, and she said no. So, like, I don't know if I'm supposed to do anything there. And then, I don't know. I don't know what else to do. Nobody prepared me for how boring this would be. But then, as time progresses in the day, he does start listing some things off.

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_01] He starts actually studying a little bit. And how this happens is he runs through the events of the game. This is his first bit of studying. And I think this is largely because, again, you know, he was told that sometimes it's different. He's reminded that Taylor continues to think that studying is worth doing. And he's really bored and he's by himself. And so, he just starts studying for the hell of it.

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_01] And so, he starts running through the season. And I will say, for as much as he said that he knew all of his stuff, as he runs through the season, number one, yes, he does know his stuff. But number two, for all the reasons I've been talking about why studying is useful, it kind of takes him a while to recall some of the things. Like, as he's running through it, he's like, okay, so then this person nominated this person, this person, this person. Wait.

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_01] No, it was this person. It was these three people. And then, who won the veto? What was the veto? Who won that veto? Right. That person won the veto. Like, he's recalling it in the same way that I would recall the season. You know what I mean? Like, it takes way too long to get to some of these points. He could certainly still do well in the competition, just to be clear. In the same way that I might be able to, having not studied this season at all.

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_01] Of course, I've, like, sort of experienced it in many ways with them. Um, but, uh, but being able to recall these things faster, uh, is going to be very important because you don't have a lot of time. And sometimes these questions require multiple layers of knowledge. Uh, so very good that he's starting to study here. Uh, and he runs through the, through the season. He starts to accumulate some of the, like, you know, recall some of these things a bit quicker,

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_01] a bit faster. Um, and this is, this is definitely huge for Devens. Uh, I really, I really think it's huge for Devens because Taylor also, we're going to see Taylor study. She's studying out loud. And when you listen to Taylor, she's, she's, she's so far ahead of him right now. Uh, not only does she know the events of the season a lot quicker,

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_01] she knows the names of competitions much more than he does. She knows the dates of the competitions much more than he does. Uh, and she's also like advanced to the point where she's listing player stat cards. She's like, okay, Kamu won or not. Uh, you know, this many competitions, uh, this many, this many, uh, HOHs, this many blockbusters, this many vetoes. He was evicted by a vote of this to this.

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_01] Um, you know, uh, like, uh, like Melody, one, uh, one HOH, one, uh, blockbuster, uh, was evicted this to this. Um, you know, she is, she is again, a lot more advanced. Um, so, uh, genuinely at this point, I'm like, I think this is, this is looking pretty lopsided, but the thing is you don't need to be advanced advanced.

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_01] You only need like a good base level of knowledge and you need to be able to go quick enough that, uh, that you don't get timed out on a, on a question and have to guess. Right. Um, so if Devin's continues to study and he still has a full day today and a full day tomorrow, and then time leading up to the eviction on Thursday, he still has tons of time.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, this is not necessarily, uh, like a done deal. Um, and the chat is again, debating about the phone situation. This is, um, just because we talked about this yesterday that, uh, that Taylor had, uh, the phone in her hand with the calendar thing up. Uh, I, I implore you to watch the clip if it exists somewhere.

[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, it's cause I, cause I saw people be like, uh, well, Taryn's lying. Taylor. Taylor. The entire interaction was like 90 seconds long. Uh, max. Uh, it was Drew handing the phone to Taylor, her going, oh, look, the calendar showing Drew going, wow, we've been here for a long time.

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_01] Drew steps out of the room for like 10 seconds, comes back in. Uh, she goes, wow, hands it back to him. Again, the whole thing is like 90 seconds. She's not actively using the phone to study in any significant way. Um, it's kind of genuinely wild to me how much that spread just completely unchallenged.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, and then even when people started pushing back, uh, like people were like, no, I see the screenshot. I believe what I'm seeing with my eyes. This is the truth. Like this is the age we're living in. Like truly, um, anyway, uh, the, so, uh, Taylor, she's studying the stats and stuff, which again is, I think the much better method of studying here.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_01] Devin's though later in the day, he's in the shower hard to hear, but, uh, but he sounds like he's also now counting competitions, how many blockbusters, how many vetoes. Uh, and so again, Devin's, I would say is behind on the studying, but he is clearly throughout the day doing some of it, catching up a little bit.

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_01] But the question for me is, will Devin's catch up enough to be competitive in this competition? My guess is going to be yes. There was a, there was a point yesterday when I was hearing Taylor study and I was hearing Devin study where I was like, I think this is going to be a blowout. Like it's taking Devin so long to remember a single veto winner and Taylor's listing off

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_01] how many, how many comps they've won, what stats they have like memorized. Uh, and I was like, I think this might be a blowout, but over the course of the day, again, later in the day, as he's in the shower, he's talking through number of competition wins. And I'm, I think we're getting to the point where Devin's is probably getting closer to where he needs to be, to be competitive because it does reach a point where the questions become easy.

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_01] Um, in fact, a lot of, uh, the final part three HOH, this is to my memory. A lot of them came down to like one question or even sometimes a tiebreaker, uh, because both people were able to get all of the questions, right? Cause they were easy enough and everybody like knows to study.

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_01] Um, so I, the, the bottom line here is I think we are reaching a point where my study check in every day, probably not as, as, as important anymore. I, the fact that Devin's has been doing some studying probably catches him up, but Taylor is still, I would say, well in the lead when it comes to the studying. Uh, and I apologize for being so insistent on talking about the studying.

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_01] It's just that there's, you know, literally nothing else to talk about because they've extended this end game so long. Uh, and genuinely it is a topic that they keep talking about as well. Like Devin's keeps bringing it up. He tells the cameras again. He's just like, I mean, what else am I going to do?

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_01] Like parts one, parts two, part two, part three, like, uh, you know, um, I mean, I, it would make sense to me if it were socially focused, but, uh, who knows? Uh, and he's, you know, he's talking about like his, how he, the money is feeling a lot more real now and, uh, how he thinks he might have a chance, but like, you know, he's genuinely is like, I just talking about, uh, like, should I be studying?

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_01] What did he, what even can I be studying for? He's, he's another thing he's trying to study is like, I'm trying to figure out like how people might feel about things because that's what drew is telling him the competition is. And so he's like, but that just feels like such a crapshoot because people might feel differently once they're in the jury house and, uh, like, you know, like they might feel differently.

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_01] They might've changed their minds about things and like, yeah, I think that's, uh, that does largely happen. That is largely a crapshoot. Um, so, uh, so it's just a lot of that. There's a lot of talk about the night before and about, uh, again, about Taylor, uh, and, um, you know, they, uh, they still like, they had, they have this like weird conversation

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_01] where they're like, uh, like they're worried that Taylor is depressed, uh, because she's in her, it's like, and she, I mean here now she's especially in her pod because it's like the two of you are like father and son. It's like, it's like socializing isn't exactly going to be as fun there. Uh, but, uh, they do prepare a birthday celebration for her.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_01] Um, and, uh, and they do a whole little birthday thing, um, which is very fun and they have a good time. Uh, and, uh, and then Taylor again, just continues to study, uh, continues to, she runs through the season herself. Again, I think she is a lot quicker and has a lot more detail, uh, there. Um, so, uh, you know, so we'll see, we'll see how things go. So there is a funny moment.

[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, it, it, I thought it was a funny moment where Drew, uh, goes to, uh, check on Taylor in her pod. Uh, and she's just in there. I imagine like either like sleeping or studying at various points. Um, and he's, he's like coming to check in on her and she's like, Oh, I wanted to ask you. Nah. He's like, what, what'd you want to ask?

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_01] And she was like, well, I wanted to ask you if there's any parts in my game I should emphasize. But then I realized you're the person I'd be sitting next to. So you're probably not going to tell me. He's like, yeah, I'm probably not going to tell you. Um, yes. The reason they were talking about her, uh, because like she, she had mentioned at one point that she had, had been feeling depressed and that she had felt like being there was work sometimes.

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, again, it's just like, I feel like it's different sort of, uh, like she's definitely more, I would say introverted than certainly, uh, drew. And I would say certainly Devin's as well to some degree. Uh, and so it is, you know, um, the dynamic is, is just kind of, uh, like, you know, you're like, imagine you're stuck in a house, especially now with all this extra time, you're stuck in a house with a father and son.

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, and you don't like, uh, you know, like they, they don't really, uh, you know, like what, like, what are we, uh, the vibe is, is weird at times, but you know, again, they find a way, uh, the birthday celebration was fun. They're joking around. Um, either way though, uh, that is about, about it, uh, for the day.

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_01] That's my, that's my quick little update. Uh, we can take a couple of questions before we wrap up, but, um, but yeah, main point being Taylor is very well studied and sometimes the people who are well studied, they don't do well on the test. Devins is starting to get there.

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_01] He's, I think approaching the line of acceptable studying knowledge, but it's hard to know if he is there yet. Um, but that also might not matter a whole lot. He certainly could still do well regardless. Um, it's just a matter of like, can he under pressure with a time limit? Come to these answers.

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, and, um, and that will be, that will be the thing. Um, all right. Uh, let's see. Do we think the time travel theme could mean they do old question format? I doubt it. I mean, it's certainly possible, but, uh, I really, I mean, I doubt it.

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_01] They, they, they haven't done it in years and I don't think the time travel theme necessarily correlates to like a switching up of comps in that way. Do I think Devins will think Drew was purposely misleading him and will affect his vote if it's Drew versus Taylor? Um, no, I don't think so. Um, I think that, uh, he hasn't expressed that he thinks Drew might be intentionally misleading him. I think that he will probably just assume that Drew was wrong.

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_01] Um, the fact that he's studying now also, like, I don't think he's going to be like, damn, I could have studied more. Like, I think he's, I think he's going to feel like it's not that big of a deal ultimately, but who knows? Do I think there's anything to Julie saying it will be the most shocking three part HOH when parts one and two are completely not shocking?

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, I would say, I mean, I did not read that interview, but I would say that Julie saying it's a shocking parts one and two would be accurate in the sense that, uh, people wouldn't have expected Taylor to win part one. And they might not have even expected Devins to win part two. Um, so, uh, I think that, that could track with how Julie sees things.

[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, is there anything that happened strategically in this season or recent season that would be added to my next book? Um, I mean, it's a good question. Uh, by the way, haven't really talked about it all season, but behind the mirror still available now on paperback. Uh, if you want to check it out, uh, became a bestseller. Thanks to you guys. Uh, if you haven't checked it out, give it a shot. I think it's, I think it's kind of fun.

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_01] Um, I think the main thing that I would talk about is the blockbuster and how that changes the way that people watch the show and the strategy of the show as well. Uh, how it tends to make players more timid, um, while also making things more exciting at the same time. Uh, which is, I think an interesting contradiction.

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_01] Um, and, uh, and maybe, maybe the story of this season is that players finally learned how to be bold because they brought in survivor players who play very differently. But I don't know. We'll see. I don't know if there's enough, enough, quite enough there, but you never know. Um, has Taylor been practicing for questions and speech? Uh, yeah, I would assume so. I haven't heard a lot of it out loud.

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_01] Um, but, uh, as much as like the studying stuff, but, um, considering that again, like she was like asking Drew, like, what would you say in your, in my, what would you, what would you advise me to say in my speech? I imagine she's thinking about the speech quite a lot. Uh, does Taylor know the time machine dates? It's, I believe she does. Uh, at least she seems to better than Devin's, uh, in my opinion, but it's hard to say, especially because I don't know the time machine dates.

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_01] Because I'm not studying those things. Uh, let's see here. How am I doing? How tired of an end game am I having? Uh, it's been, it's been all right. You know, we're almost there.

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, I think that, um, I mean, you know, as, as per usual, like, uh, like there was, um, a couple of these updates ago, though, there was a question about people being on the right side of the vote. Uh, which, which weirdly like became a thing where, uh, people were like, oh, Taryn said that Taylor was on the wrong side of the vote a couple of times, uh, to try to discredit her.

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_01] Even though I was talking about all three of them being on the wrong side of votes multiple times as a way of saying it's kind of even. Uh, and also primarily when I'm talking about being on the wrong side of the vote for me, that means less so who like, it's not about giving sympathy votes. It's more about like, did the thing you want to have happen with the vote happen or not?

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, so, you know, like for instance, uh, you know, even though Drew gave melody a sympathy vote, uh, I would still call him on the wrong side of the melody vote because he wanted melody to stay in the same way that like, um, you know, anytime, like when, uh, when people, when people leave and you were campaigning for them to stay and then they still leave.

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_01] Like that's what I would count as being on the wrong side of the vote, but either way, like I think all three of them have been on the wrong side of the vote to some capacity, primarily Drew and, uh, and Taylor, but all three of them have been on the right side of the vote in terms of like things that they generally wanted to have happen. At least between the two people that ended up on the block. Um, I would say a decent amount, uh, considering all three of them in the final three. Usually there's one person who was on the wrong side of the vote a bit more, um, or maybe not usually, but, uh, either way.

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_01] Um, but yeah, it's just, uh, we're in the, the point of the season where like the, I think the, like, it's just people are really, really rocking for their faves. Um, part three could come down to a tiebreaker question. It could.

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_01] And what I will tell you about that is that Devin's at least has claimed that he has tried to do math to calculate as many different tiebreaker questions that could be asked as possible. Uh, obviously in a world where the part three is still a crapshoot, there still could be a math tiebreaker question. So theoretically he is prepared for that though. I don't know exactly what math he has done.

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_01] Um, so, uh, I don't know how true it is and how accurate he will be, but, uh, but theoretically, if it comes down to a tiebreaker, uh, you know, be prepared for a, a potential situation where, uh, where, where Devin's is very prepared for that in a way that perhaps Taylor is not.

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, though I couldn't, I couldn't tell you if Taylor's preparing for tiebreaker questions either, or if, you know, like how useful preparing for tiebreaker questions could be. Um, what I would say is, you know, if you are playing the game, you probably don't want to, uh, to be, uh,

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_01] studying out loud for things like tiebreaker questions because like you don't want production to know what, you know, I don't think it matters. It probably doesn't. I don't think production is honestly like paying close attention to what you know or don't know, but I would still in my paranoid head be like, I don't want them to know that I know these things.

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_01] Um, uh, so, um, so yeah, it's, uh, it's, it's an interesting little, uh, scenario there. Um, do I think the house narrative of Taylor being in her pot all the time will affect jury votes or is it a nothing burger? I think it certainly will affect jury votes. Uh, it's a house narrative. It's a Zingbot narrative and it's a, uh, BB comics narrative. Um, and when Barrett, who is a very key vote here was talking about who he might vote for,

[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_01] he cited Zingbot and the BB comics as one of the reasons why he accepted that narrative, uh, that he would be, cause Barrett's a fan. He knows that just because you're in your, in your pot all the time doesn't mean that you're not playing the game. Uh, Nicole Franzel similarly also happens to be a woman, uh, was heavily criticized for laying in bed all, all day, every day for big brother 18 goes on to win that season is,

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_01] I would say fairly widely considered to be a pretty good winner at the very least of the show. Um, so, uh, so I assume that Barrett understands that that might be kind of like a false narrative or at least a misleading narrative. Um, but that if Zingbot and BB comics are reiterating it, that means that it made the show in a way that Nicole stuff didn't as much. Uh, and that, uh, that production is sort of like stamping their approval on like, yeah, Taylor's not giving us much,

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_01] which might, might lead him to be, uh, to, to like lean in that direction. Or at least it was when he was in the house and talking to cameras. Uh, however, you would also assume that Barrett being a super fan would know that like, you know, you can't always trust BB comics or Zingbot. So, uh, either way, I do think it has certainly, uh, impacted the way that they see Taylor's game. You saw them in the jury segment talk about how Taylor was the only person that they rated below Melody prior to the comp wins.

[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_01] So, um, so we'll see. We'll see. Have I seen the jury interviews? No, unfortunately I, uh, I have not had a chance to check them out this morning. They were posted, uh, a little bit before this update started. So, um, I will, so, cause this is, uh, Dalton Ross, I believe has posted this, uh, big interview with the jury.

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_01] Um, it may or may not tell us much, but, uh, but we'll have something to talk about tomorrow, uh, as I will read through this and, uh, and be able to give you my thoughts on it. Um, all right. I think that's largely it here. Um, I think that, uh, we were having a fun time. The interview didn't really say anything. I mean, that's usually the case.

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_01] They, they don't want anything to be given away, but, but listen, what are we doing here every morning? If not reading into every small little detail. Um, all right. That is what we've got for you today. Then thank you all so much for hanging out. Of course, uh, as I've been saying all season long, check out my Patreon.

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, it's a very, uh, basically if you, if you don't know, because it's, you know, it's hard to know sometimes. Uh, I started the Patreon last year because it was, uh, it, it allowed me to make a kind of content that I would have not been able to make before. Um, and I really enjoy making it where I'm like watching shows and, uh, and commentating and analyzing them in real time. Uh, so I'm watching all kinds of shows over there. Um, and, uh, it's really, really fun stuff to make.

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, the, uh, the people there have been really, really great. They, uh, have really enjoyed the, the content. And then, uh, I'm planning to do this big brother two project where I go through big brother two, uh, and, uh, and go through the live feed. So if you, if you're going to miss the daily live feed updates, they're coming back on my Patreon for big brother two, uh, which should be a good time. Uh, and yeah, shows like the golden ticket are shows that I would like check out. So I am watching traders new blood.

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_01] I'm watching survivor, all kinds of fun stuff. So, uh, come and check it out. It's a great way to, uh, to support, uh, the kinds of content that I make, especially once big brother is, uh, is wrapped up. Uh, give it a shot. Um, otherwise I'll be back here tomorrow, noon Eastern, uh, and Thursday night streaming the finale. And then recapping it afterward. And that's going to be it for big brother 28.

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_01] So it's almost, it's almost here. Uh, thank you all so much for joining me here today. And I will see all of you next time. Bye.
