Big Brother 28 enters a tense standoff as houseguests weigh their next moves before the looming double eviction. Host Taran Armstrong teams up with guest Scally for a recap of Day 71, digging into shifting alliances, secret deals, and last-gasp campaigns. As the week crawls by, the players are faced with hard choices about loyalty and shields, all while pretending nothing is happening.[00:00:11] Big Brother looking at the stuff from yesterday, energy and silliness from Fido to HOS, 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.
[00:00:43] Hello everyone and good morning. Welcome to our live feed update for September 16. 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 71 in the house and it was a slow day in terms of game talk.
[00:01:09] We knew this was coming. There's not a lot to say but plans for the double eviction are sort of solidifying. We're getting a little bit of clarification on where people stand and and hey, somebody might have got their clothes back. Who knows? We'll have to wait and see with me to talk about it. It's Scali. How you doing Scali? Ah, hello. Hello, Taran. I was gonna say great update. See you again next time.
[00:01:34] Um, but I guess there's a little bit to talk about so I'm glad to dive into what there is. Yes, this should genuinely be a shorter one. We'll keep it tight because, uh, you know, we're, we're really just waiting for this big looming double eviction, uh, and the competitions that are to come.
[00:01:55] Of course, you know, Yash is the H to H. He nominated Barrett Taylor. Sorry, nominated Barrett Drew and Melody drew one the veto. Then he was forced to nominate Taylor when drew took him, uh, self off the block. He made a deal with Yash in the dirt during the double the during the veto. Uh, and they have kept it a secret the night before yesterday. They finally sort of like, uh, got together, did a check in.
[00:02:24] They were like, ha ha ha. People think that we were arguing because we talked with our hands. Um, and here in the morning of day 71, they continue to play that up. Both of them, uh, separately and together that they were arguing at the end of that veto competition. They really enjoy their, they're just really enjoying the fact that like people don't know what really happened. Isn't that fun and interesting? Uh, and so they're going to be doing that throughout the morning. Yeah.
[00:02:51] Having a secret is fun and especially can be bonding for two people who, uh, stood there for hours and hours and hours. So we weren't previously necessarily connecting the best. So anything to bring these two together is going to be helpful, but it's obviously it's like the thing that's looming over the feeds at all times. Is this going to hold? Is this going to stay secret? Yes. Yes.
[00:03:13] Uh, the day continues and Barrett is going to finally make, uh, one of his pitches to Devon's. Um, it's pretty straightforward. It's very much the like, Hey, I can be a shield for you and D, you know, wouldn't you prefer sitting next to me on the block and then sitting next to melody or Taylor.
[00:03:35] Um, problem is this argument's been used a lot in the past and Devon's and D literally were just talking the day before about how there's no more shields anymore. It's not about shields anymore. It's just about taking out threats, which is exactly why they want Barrett gone, which is exactly why they want Yash gone after that. Uh, and so I don't think this, uh, this argument is going to land here with Devon's and you know, he very much kind of like, sure.
[00:04:05] Sure. Yes. Uh huh. Okay. I'll have to talk to D about it, but sure. Yeah, sure. Okay. Devon's and D who all last week were keep us a shields. You need shields at this household. This is the best campaign ever. No, we are absolutely not keeping shields. There is no use for shields. I don't know why anyone would keep shields around at this point in the game. So it's funny how things change in like three days, but here we are.
[00:04:34] Listen, even they recognize that the argument to keep them wasn't very good. It's a full admission. Okay, this worked on people, but now we're both still here and we feel pretty good about our position. So it's probably not a great strategy. Yeah, exactly. Uh, I don't think I'm going to really get away with this twice. So let's not even keep it on the table. Yes. Yeah. So Barrett, you know, this isn't over. He's still going to talk to D.
[00:05:00] He's still going to try and talk to Taylor and Yash and talking to Taylor and Yash is sort of, uh, the better play here as we'll, uh, eventually see. Um, but, uh, but it does of course sort of require some specific, uh, scenarios. Um, in the meantime, though, he's hanging out up in the gym on his own and, uh, years Barrett, please check the storage room.
[00:05:30] Oh my God. He gets up and he walks out. He walks down the stairs where everyone else is, uh, in the kitchen. He's like, is this what I think it is? And D's like, oh, we're all going to go with you to support you. He goes to the storage room and it's his clothes. He's finally got his clothes back. Uh, and they're like, open the clothes. And he opens the clothes and it's his one of his, this hoodie. And he's like, yay.
[00:06:00] And then it's a big celebration and then they all leave. And then he goes to his bed and he starts unpacking it all. And he's like, oh my God, I'm so excited. Yay. Look, this is way overdue. Barrett is tall as hell and skinny. That is hard to find clothes for just like any other store. Uh, so Barrett like getting his own clothes, his own style, his own everything else. Like is very, very helpful.
[00:06:27] A good mood booster for someone who has otherwise been pretty dejected. Hmm. Yes. Uh, so he gets his clothes back. Very happy about that. You know, uh, he's finally got those clothes. Uh, but people are still being pretty boring in the house. So production was like, oh, geez, fine. And they gave him alcohol as well. Um, which also didn't really work. They still weren't really doing much.
[00:06:55] No, no, not a lot. Uh, not a lot to do. Uh, so even the drinking, you know, once or twice it has inspired, maybe some flirting, maybe some fun, maybe some, no, there's not a lot. Yeah. Uh, but as we had late and I'm all, I'm already speeding through here. Uh, I'm already on like the last couple of conversations of the day.
[00:07:21] So, uh, just to warn you guys, um, later into the night, Yash is, uh, is dancing up in his HOA room. Doing his dancing thing. Uh, and, and, uh, he's got the headphones on and, uh, Taylor comes in and then just stands there watching him dance. And Tilly turns around. He's like, oh, hey, what's up?
[00:07:49] She says, uh, would campaigning be sus? And initially he's like, yeah. She's like, well, like, shouldn't I be campaigning? Like, what do you mean? Yeah. And he's like, no, no, no, I don't not campaign. Cause you'd regret it if you didn't and went home. Uh, and she's like, exactly. So they both start walking through what her campaign should be to stay since she is on the block. And, uh, and then they start coming around to like their, their desires this week.
[00:08:20] And they talk about how they've actually, now that they're both talking about it, they actually both want Barrett to stay. That would be better for their games in their minds. It would be easier. There'd be another shield for them so that if they sit on the block, they're not sitting on the block next to melody. This argument still works on Yash and Taylor. Just got to find the right target for any argument. Yeah.
[00:08:43] Um, I, I cannot believe that this is the thought, but, uh, Hey, for them, it's still, while this would be, you know, nice and all, I don't want to piss anyone off to make it happen. So really hope that blockbuster falls exactly the right way. Yeah. And that's the thing they said, uh, well, the problem is they can't keep Barrett because it would piss off the icons and they can't make the icons unhappy.
[00:09:15] Which is like, listen, whether or not you agree with whether keeping Barrett or evicting Barrett is the right move. The fact that they can't do the thing that they want to do, the thing that they think is better for their games because they're afraid of upsetting the people that they just kept in the game last week. Uh, and the only reason they're there to be pissed off in the first place is because you agreed to keep them in the first place.
[00:09:40] It's like, Oh, on prioritizing the rest of the house's happiness at final six, final five, final four is crazy over your own, like your own happiness with what's going on. I, uh, can't believe we're here. And yet somehow we are. I am already scared of like, uh, what happens in final five when, uh, you know, or finally let's go to the double eviction. It's like, Oh, well could vote to keep Yash, but, uh, that would piss off the icon.
[00:10:10] So we got to let them. Well, they also need to prep for the double eviction. Uh, they say that if the icons win, they do recognize that one of them is the replacement nominee. Uh, and Taylor's like, probably me. And Yash is like, I hope you. A fair hope. He's like, what? If it's me, they're going to vote me out. Yeah. A little bit of, uh, you know, uh, you know, you're not the scapegoat.
[00:10:40] You're the, you're the pawn of the season and pawn is okay. Pawn's fine. Uh, and so, and Taylor's like, I mean, they could still vote me out. The problem is what if Devin's flips and keeps drew like, well, that couldn't happen. Right. Cause then the votes, I guess if it's, uh, I guess if it's, uh, I guess if it's, uh, I guess. I mean, melody would probably vote drew out though. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Totally seems like something she would do. Make a big game move. That's melody.
[00:11:12] I mean, the reality is, and of course they don't know this, but they probably should know this is that it's, it's, it's not going to be Taylor as the renom. It might not even be a renom at all. Uh, it would probably just be Yash and it wouldn't be a flip. It would just be the plan to vote him out. Yeah. So. Oh, tough. Tough spot. You might, neither of you might be voting. Unfortunately. Wouldn't be great. No.
[00:11:39] Um, D D is the one they trust. D wouldn't flip on them. They want to make sure that D stays and Devin's does not stay. And Taylor's just like, I just hate the Drew's here. Cause I can't focus on getting rid of Devin's while drew is still here. I don't know. Maybe getting Devin's out is makes more sense anyway. And Yash is like, honestly, even if Devin goes like, I'm not mad at it. Cause melody and Barrett hate drew.
[00:12:09] She's like, do they really though? I think so. I think they do bro. Like if Devin's goes drew next, that's all. Yeah. Yeah. Cause, uh, you know, melody definitely a worse relationship with drew than Devin's at this point. But, uh, I mean, he can be frustrated all day long. Uh, I, though I do like the, uh, instinct to rather than like, let's target drew to weaken
[00:12:37] Devin's like, uh, just take Devin's out of here. Finally after how many times? Yeah. So basically the idea is if drew Barrett or melody when HOH during the double eviction, they want to evict Devin's that's the plan. They'll try to, uh, encourage or persuade any of the three of them, whichever of them remain and when HOH to target Devin's, we knew this would happen already.
[00:13:04] Uh, if Devin's or D when they plan to try to encourage them to target drew, which they won't, they will target either Barrett if he's still there or Josh himself, at least as of right now, they didn't really discuss what they would do as the HOH. I mean, they, as in Taylor, if Taylor wins the HOH, but obviously it would be drew or
[00:13:31] Devon's the question being really which of drew or Devon's would they actually end up targeting? Would they likely do drew and melody if there, it's not there. And then if it's drew, it's drew. And then if somebody comes off the block, Devon's goes up at which point, uh, at which points it's up to Yasha's vote, whether Devon stays or drew stays. And we know that they have that, um, that deal.
[00:14:00] If drew comes off the block, then I think it's Devon's and it's probably just the Devon's goes. I think they probably evict Devon's over melody. Um, so, uh, but, but it's again, it's like they're talking this through and none of it's really surprising. It, you might've predicted all of this would happen regardless. Uh, it's just that they're finally vocalizing it in the same way that, uh, that Devon's and Dee were finally vocalizing it the day before.
[00:14:26] All of this is what I had already kind of assumed in my predictions for the, uh, double eviction, which is why I do still think that Devon's is the most likely person to go not by much, but like the most likely person to go in this double eviction. Uh, and so I do think they're thinking along the right lines in terms of evicting Devon's. Uh, but you know, obviously they're a little bit behind the eight ball here in terms of,
[00:14:53] uh, their assumption of Devon's and Dee's loyalty to them. Yeah. There was just too much time in the week for this, not to be the inevitable conclusion of both sides. I think if we do get to that point somehow where like the veto falls the same way they have Devon's on the block, like, uh, I think Dee might vote out Devon's over melody like at that point. So, uh, I don't think it looks good for defense. I think that's correct. Yes.
[00:15:18] Um, but we move forward drew and melody talk as they do. They've been talking through the day of course, but, uh, there is a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of game. She's talking to him also about like, should I be campaigning? Uh, he's asking her if she is campaigning. Uh, she does campaign to him a little bit in the sense that she's like talking about the vote against Taylor. And she's like, I want it to be a tie at the very least. I want it to be a tie.
[00:15:46] There's always a chance that Dave changes her mind and votes to keep me. So don't you dare vote against me. You'd better not. He's like, I'd better not. She's like, yes. Uh, and he's like, but it would be fun. She's like drew. Uh, so, um, so she wants Drew's vote. She wants it to be a tie. Now worth noting drew in his deal with the ash said that he would not. Uh, evict Taylor.
[00:16:15] However, he did specifically say as long as he felt confident that it would be a tie, he would vote with Barrett to, to keep melody. And, uh, as long as they all understood that it was okay. And, and Taylor would stay anyway, because it would be a tie, which is the case right now, though a bit of a silly, uh, caveat to allow in the deal because, you know, uh, not that
[00:16:40] it really matters anyway, but, uh, you know, point being melody wants to make sure drew votes to keep her. There's a good chance he will. Um, because it was, uh, a, a section of the deal that allowed him to do so. Yeah. There's a, you know, plausible deniability still exists. So even if things were to be able to fall into his favor, which look unlikely at this point, uh, I think that it's a world in which he could get away with it, especially if he's not
[00:17:10] planning on keeping this deal going super longterm anyway. Uh, no real reason to, uh, hold up that side, but drew screwing over melody also just sounds incredibly likely. So, uh, I wouldn't put anything past. Yes. Uh, it's worth noting too, that like throughout the day, you know, they got alcohol, they got the clothes, they were hanging out through most of the day. They also got the phone. They were filming videos.
[00:17:39] They made little, like a little zombie movie. Uh, it was a whole thing. Um, and throughout the day, there's a lot of like drew and Yash joking around, hanging out, uh, to the point where I'm pretty sure like twice in the day they were like, you two are going to be best friends after this show. Uh, and like it, it really does.
[00:18:04] Cause listen, the long history of drew and Yash is that they got along really well at the start of the season. They were in the adapter dance together. There was a time when they were like the two people close. Like the drew is probably the closest person to Yash before he got stolen by Kamu. Um, and, uh, after that vote flip and everything and like drew was on the block and everyone is turning on drew and then the vote flip happened. And then Kamu and Yash bonded.
[00:18:32] And then, uh, and then later on Kamu won the HOH and he thought maybe he could pull drew back in and then drew betrayed him and voted out Kamu. Uh, and so that, that really spawned like the, the big animosity between the two of them. Um, but they are bros, you know what I mean? Uh, and so I really do think that this, uh, that this 13 hour experience bonded them to some degree.
[00:19:00] Uh, and I think this shared secret is bonding them even more. Uh, it doesn't, again, it does not mean that they are definitely going to hold to the deal. Either one of them, but it does not mean that they're not going to take one another out. But I do think that on a personal level, they are really warming to each other. Uh, and you saw the results of it over the course of the day as they joked around and hung out and stuff like that. And other people are noticing a little bit.
[00:19:29] So, uh, just worth pointing out. The challenge rivals has taught me anything that when you have two people who have a little bit of a rivalry who maybe didn't get along at times are forced into the idea that they could be working together, it can create some pretty strong bonds and things, uh, might start going their way. Also in this rivalry could get dropped very quickly. And, uh, that could be very dangerous for everyone else. Yes. All right.
[00:19:56] Well, is there anything else that we should talk about from yesterday? Scally? Uh, you know, I'm going to throw some appreciation on the zombie title, uh, zombie B, I think very solid. Uh, I don't know if it was as good of a quality as I'll plug a dead set, the big brother UK zombie show, but otherwise, uh, it was fun. It was a good little, uh, you know, break in the day, but no, not a lot goes on here. Unfortunately. All right. Call your shots. Scally. Who's leaving in the double eviction?
[00:20:25] Oh, I feel like first we'll ask first. I'll ask who is going to win the blockbuster and therefore who is going to be evicted. And then we'll do the double eviction. All right. I think I'm going to say Barrett is winning this blockbuster. All right. I think melody is going home. So, okay. Yeah. You know, I've enjoyed melody. Uh, you know, like the, uh, fan voting results in the stock watch to various degrees
[00:20:54] in the season, but, uh, been mostly, uh, enjoying her as a character very much. But I unfortunately just think like we're, we're running out of time. I think it's, uh, over melody. And then in terms of who is most likely in danger, I don't know. I think this could be Drew's time. I think Drew might end up, uh, I don't know. Hmm. Well, if Barrett stays.
[00:21:16] Barrett staying is very good for Drew and Devon's collectively better for Yash theoretically, but not necessarily. Um, so, okay. We're looking at your, you think the, you think the, the almost man's is, uh, is heading out the door, uh, tomorrow night. I, I do feel like that was a trend for a little bit on a BB can where you could see duos go out at the same time.
[00:21:44] So, uh, maybe, maybe it ends up, uh, coming down here, you know, BB can is back in the air and that air loans, blows down South. All right. Okay. Uh, all right, then. Um, that's about what we've got for you today. Uh, lucky for you though, if you're a patron of Rob as a podcast, uh, we'll be doing the mailbag soon after this podcast ends. We're scheduled for it at about, uh, noon Eastern, I believe.
[00:22:12] Um, so if you want some more chatting about, uh, who's likely to win, uh, the game and what the percentages and answering some questions from the audience, we'll be doing that. I'll be doing that with Rob shortly. Um, what is my prediction is a good question. I mean, I think, I mean, listen, I'll, I'll be different from Scali. I'll say it's ropes and Barrett loses. I think he loses to Taylor. I think Barrett would be voted out then.
[00:22:41] And then heading into the following eviction, double eviction. I think, I think that like Devins could win that. I think then it's up to Yash to win the veto. I think he does. And that leads to a drew eviction. So I'm also, I guess I'm also saying drew. Yeah. All right. Well, tough luck for drew. It seems.
[00:23:13] I don't think we can both be wrong. We'll see. Um, all right. Uh, that's what we have for you then. Thanks for hanging out. I'll be back tomorrow morning, 11 a.m. Eastern as well to update you on, uh, everything that happens today on the big brother, 28 live feeds and, uh, tonight's two hour episode followed by a podcast. So check that out. I'll be streaming on YouTube, Twitch and Patreon. Speaking of make sure you check out my Patreon. Lots of fun stuff going on there.
[00:23:43] Got a jet lag episode dropping today. Uh, and, uh, excited for more. Scali, what do you got going on? All right. You can find me over on the free agents podcast talking about the challenge, but also the traders new blood, uh, over on the free agents podcast with Matt Liguori. So go check it out to, uh, you know, new seasons of reality television airing. So that will be fun or frustrating depending on the challenge episode. So go see that.
[00:24:09] And otherwise, uh, I'll be around here on social media, Brian underscore Scali. Uh, all that will be there. All right. Well, thank you all so much once more for being here this morning. I will see all of you next time. Bye.
