[00:01:34] I'm getting ready Rob. It's going to be trickier than we anticipated, but the live feed updates are coming. He'll find a way. He said more on that in a moment. Of course, back with us. The man who will decide the draft or tonight

[00:01:50] the winner of the Big Brother 25 draft. It's Puyah Zanvakili. Puyah, how are you? Oh, I won. Yeah, I'm excited. It's a good time. I listen. I love a good draft. It does signify the start of the Big Brother season, especially recently. It's the day before the season starts.

[00:02:06] Cannot get happier. Can't wait to draft. Can't wait to see what everyone wants to pick. Okay. All right. Back with us to draft and hopefully not eat any chapstick at all in Big Brother 26. It's Amon Edwin. Amon, how are you? I am fantastic, Rob.

[00:02:23] I am so in the zone. Okay. I'm so here for it this year. I'm feeling really, really good. Something is in the air. Something is in this coffee. What is it? I'm just really, it is the taste of victory. The taste of victory. Wow. Okay. All right.

[00:02:42] There you go. There's Amon. And then we're so excited to have a back with us once again. The voice of the people. Here she is. Melissa Denny is back. Melissa, how are you? I'm back. Big Brother means I'm back.

[00:02:57] I feel like I haven't podcasted in a million years. So it's very exciting to be back. I'm so happy. I cannot wait for the season to get started and it's a great time. Yes. Great time. Excited to have you back. I see in the chat, Melissa looking fabulous.

[00:03:14] Melissa is glowing. Thanks guys. So sweet. I am. Yes. Okay. All right. So very excited to have you back with us once again. And tonight we will be drafting for a winner. No grenade, no other like a points.

[00:03:32] We're looking for the winner of Big Brother 26 that will be crowned on Sunday night, October 13th. But tonight we have very little information and we will be picking each three players from the big brother 26 cast with one little wrinkle that we will get to, of course,

[00:03:52] Wednesday night we will kick off our big brother 26 coverage. Taren and I did a cast reactions podcast, which is up on our YouTube channel. But after the episode at 1015 p.m. Eastern time, we'll be live to recap episode number one.

[00:04:08] You don't want to miss any of our coverage, which will include all of Taren's live feed updates either on our YouTube channel. Go to Robbisandwebs.com slash YouTube or by subscribing to our big brother podcast feed.

[00:04:22] That's at Robbisandwebs.com slash B, B feed and we appreciate your feedback and your star ratings here, especially at the start of the season. Now a lot of news came out yesterday. We got our 16 house guests.

[00:04:37] Big brother tells us there will be a 17th house guest that has the chance of getting a 17th house guest that has the chance. A small check. You say you're saying there's a chance a 17th house guest could get voted into the house.

[00:04:54] Melissa, what do you think of the chances? House guests, 17 gets voted in. I mean, I guess it depends like how it's done, but or like what they would get if the house gets voted in.

[00:05:07] I have a feeling that they're not going to, I mean, I have a feeling that the house guests won't want to vote in another person who could potentially win the money.

[00:05:16] But I have a feeling that that production is not going to let them not bring in the 17th house guest because like then the twist just dies. So I do think that the 17th house guest will end up in the house.

[00:05:29] But I don't know if I believe that it's like actually like, okay, the house guests are going to pick because if they were, why would they want another person competing for the money?

[00:05:36] Good question. All right. One, we will find out over the course of Wednesday night and a two night premiere Wednesday night and Thursday night.

[00:05:45] Okay. Now, Taryn, in addition to finding out about the house guests and the twist, we also got some news from the people over at Paramount. And it wasn't so much a Paramount plus this was more of a Paramount minus.

[00:06:02] Yes, Paramount minus indeed. We have discovered we have learned that this season the live feeds will no longer feature a flashback, you know, any kind of pausing rewinding basically what you see is what you get and then it's gone. So what that means? Oh no, they got him.

[00:06:28] What does it mean? They got him. He was talking too much about them. He was talking about the feeds and he looked, looked, it's fine. It's fine. We don't need to rewind. We learned that everything is good. Everything is good and fine.

[00:06:41] Oh my God. Oh my God. They got Taryn right before the big brother season was about, okay. Taryn, don't do that. I was trying to demonstrate what it was like to watch the live feed. You were a representation of the rewind feature and you were just gone.

[00:07:02] It took you away like that. It's going to be harder to watch the live feeds. If you're not there in the moment, you might not be able to watch it at all except for via like bootlegged recordings and streams that you may find on the internet.

[00:07:20] So we're going to be back in the olden days of big brother. We are going backwards in time and I put out a short, the concerning thing for this is that it's definitely not a good sign for the health of the show on top of the inconvenience and sort of like disappointment that the fans will have for the season.

[00:07:38] Yeah. Do we know, do we remember what season did they add that feature? You know, what? BD11 is what they're saying in the chat. That sounds possible to me. I would not have that off the top of my head.

[00:07:53] Okay. All right. So that is definitely some news and so we'll see what the feeds look like when they come back, but at this hour, okay? There will be feeds. There will be live feed updates and so we will keep you posted on all of that.

[00:08:10] Anything else about the no flashbacks on the live feeds? I mean, that's really what I used to watch because I don't stay up all night watching. I basically watch it in the morning when I wake up.

[00:08:25] I start back at the end of the night or whatever and the house gets stay up all night. I don't. And so that's the way I watch. So I really don't know how that's going to happen this year.

[00:08:38] So we're just going to hope that they change their minds or that we're wrong or that somebody steps in to help us or something because it's going to make it extremely hard to watch and not to mention the fact that it's going to be hard to even just like capture specific moments.

[00:08:59] Like, you know, if someone gets accused of something then like how do we go back and make sure like, okay, no, this person didn't say this or this didn't happen or it's not like as it was described on Twitter.

[00:09:09] Now we will have no way of checking that which to me seems really dangerous. And if I was one of the house guests, I would be extremely nervous because, you know, Taylor has said many times that having the live feeds like was a savior to her in those moments where we could be on her side

[00:09:28] and be like this, she's done nothing wrong. Like this is these people are ganging up on her or whatever what have you, you know, now we're not going to be able to help people like that.

[00:09:38] Not that we're live feeders or like some like saviors or something, but you know what I mean? Like we won't be able to step in and be like, this is what really happened. Like we are watching it. We have proof.

[00:09:48] Now we don't have that necessarily. So I'm a little nervous, but we'll see how it goes.

[00:09:54] Okay. Yeah, I think it's probably going to be more of an inconvenient thing for the audience of the big brother life he enjoys watching this. I do think that there probably will end up being recordings, especially of any sort of like flash point where there's something controversial

[00:10:09] that happens. I think that you know people will definitely be recording things and sharing moments from the season, but certainly a major inconvenience to the loyal live feed watching audience.

[00:10:22] Yeah, and it worries me that it's a first step of things to come. Like I just it's very reminiscent of Big Brother Canada where it was like, oh, we're removing this one feature. Well, we're removing this other feature.

[00:10:32] Oh, now we don't have live feeds at all. And now the show is gone. So you know, it does make me a little nervous of like, oh, are we like following down that same path? But you know, hope not.

[00:10:43] Okay, I mean, it's interesting only because like back in baby 24 they said everything about like how they had like 8 billion streams and like viewing hours from the live feeds were like, like Paramount released that statement.

[00:10:56] So it's just like interesting that you would like boast that as like some type of feet. But then two years later, you're already starting to roll back and there've been a few people online that have been saying, you know, it probably has something to do more with Paramount about to get sold

[00:11:10] and all these different mergers and companies purchasing things. So maybe it's like a scale back for now until they back on like stable financial ground and then we'll begin to see things come back to the way that they were.

[00:11:21] I don't know, I'm not really well versed in how things like that work. I'm hoping that that's the case because it just doesn't make sense for that to be something that they were celebrating and then all of a sudden it's like, you know, it's not like it's the people are blaming it on Luke from last

[00:11:35] season. This is not the first time that someone has said the n word on the live feeds as bad as that sounds first time they had to take action though and I don't think they were very happy about it. Oh, cry about it. I mean, I like,

[00:11:46] Listen, I'm not on their side. I'll tell you that we should never take action.

[00:11:51] Like so I mean, it's you know, if if if that's what we're going to end up doing like to me that feels like it's only a half measure because if we can still watch the live feeds, you're only making people more hyper vigilant to find negative

[00:12:04] things to talk about. So I don't know they're going to do what they do. I'm hoping that it's just a temporary thing and this is not like the signs of things to come but what are you going to do at least we have something as opposed to what we got for baby can 12

[00:12:16] which that is exactly what I was about to say I'm on. I feel like a lot of us had kind of found, you know, the whole big brother Canada shutting down feeds then having it be two years in a row then getting canceled.

[00:12:28] I think a lot of us found solace in that, well, at least we have our big brother US still at least that's still the same. And I think this has really hit a ton for all the reasons y'all have mentioned but then also that of like, oh, we had it once a year at least and now we might not

[00:12:43] even have that, but I'm trying to take the amount approach as well. Stay optimistic. We don't know until we know and just kind of make do with what we have. The good news is I'm going to stay on it the entire time in the beginning at the very least because listen to that Friday morning update.

[00:12:59] A lot of the bulk of that content is the nighttime. So you got to be vigilant.

[00:13:04] And I think speaking of big brother Canada just for those that might not know, big brother Canada was canceled recently after just only two years of their own sort of limited live feeds the way that they decided to do it.

[00:13:19] But more importantly, bringing us back to the draft. That means that I am forever the reigning champ of big brother Canada drafting as I had both of the final two and the final season of big brother Canada and you know, heavy is the burden that wears the crown of big brother Canada drafting, but I will bear it.

[00:13:38] Okay. But the record show, Taryn is the once and always king of big brother Canada drafting my eyes should get shipped off to the Olympics right now for the amount of back flips they have just done. Agreed.

[00:13:57] That being said, we will turn our attention to big brother 26. Okay. And you are the current reigning champion of big brother 25. And so as is our tradition, you will make the draft order for tonight's festivities, which will be a snake draft.

[00:14:17] Yep. Yeah. And I'm very excited. Before I proceed, though, there is one order of business that we need to attend to. So obviously we had in celebration of big brother coming back, we had the RHAP pressure cooker last week. Yes.

[00:14:31] Aman was killing it. He was doing good. And then he couldn't get out of a prior engagement and had to bow out. I told him right then and there that he can pick which number he wants to be in the draft and I will honor that as a nice little, you know, sign a good will from me because I was kind of messing with him a little bit during that.

[00:14:50] So Aman has to tell me what his order is and then I can give you the rest.

[00:14:53] You have the opposite or you do something so cruel, but yet so funny and some of it that was all a joke. And they give me like both dead last in the draft. But I trust you.

[00:15:03] You know, Puyah, I really appreciate this, this olive branch. And so therefore I'm going to request to go second. Okay. Second in the draft goes Aman. Okay. Puyah, what's the rest of the draft order?

[00:15:21] All right. Well, you know, I did not get this person a present. Their presence is a present because they kind of been not around in a little bit. But in order to celebrate Melissa, this new chapter, I'm going to give you first pick.

[00:15:35] Wow. Okay. Melissa goes number one. Okay. I feel like everyone puts me as number one because they think I'm not going to, they think they know what I'm going to pick and they also think I'm not going to pick their faves.

[00:15:46] Like I feel like I always get like gifted this number one slot where then I get one pick and that no one else wants. And then I end up at the end with the drag. That's not true.

[00:15:59] I do feel like that. I mean, we should go back and see how many times people have put me as number one. They think I'm like the nice one and they're worried. Melissa, you always take the pick that we want.

[00:16:10] Are you or are you not going to pick one of Cam, Matt or Tucker? I don't know what I'm going to do.

[00:16:16] Okay. Okay. Well, I when I first entered the big brother drafting on RH AP, I was the third pick overall and I won with that pick and I was the first Taren to do the final both final two. I'm going to give myself the third pick.

[00:16:33] I'm going to give our lovely reigning big brother Canada forever champion Taren the fourth pick. And I'm going to give this person my favorite number in the world. There's a whole mumbo about it. There's a whole song about it.

[00:16:48] The Lou Bega of the draft, Rob Cesarino fifth pick. Okay. I don't know how many mumbo number five names there are in this draft. A little, a little bit of Lisa. A little bit of Rabina. Okay. Anyway, all right. So that is our draft order. Okay.

[00:17:05] So it'll go most of them on Puyah Taren Rob and then I will pick again and then it'll go back through the order Taren Puyah.

[00:17:13] Amon. Melissa. All right. One wrinkle in this draft. There is a 17th house guest and so we wanted the 17th house guest to be in play.

[00:17:24] The 17th house guest is a bit of a mystery box both to us and to the players, but we wanted that pick to be able to be drafted.

[00:17:32] And so the rule that was agreed upon prior to the draft is the 17th mystery box player is available to be drafted. However, that does come at a cost. At the point you draft the 17th player that is going to potentially be voted into the house.

[00:17:54] You forfeit the rest of your draft and then have to pick from whatever picks are left. And so hypothetically, if Melissa says I want the first pick, I'm taking the mystery box. Give me the 17th mystery player who may or may not get into the house.

[00:18:12] Then Melissa will not draft again until we get down to, I believe that there will be four people left and then in addition to that 17th player, Melissa will get to pick two of the remaining four unselected players, meaning the audience will have two players in the draft.

[00:18:32] So it's a little bit of a steep price tag for a person that may or may not come into the game as either a returning player or some kind of advantage coming in late. And so that's the risk if you want the mystery box.

[00:18:46] Yes. And Rob, it's worth pointing out that since our podcast yesterday, there's been some content with Julie saying, specifying that this does appear to be at least a vote for if the 17th house guest joins and not who the 17th house guest is as we speculated yesterday.

[00:19:07] So it does appear as though it is possible that the 17th house guest does not get in the house. Yes, it is possible that the 17th house guest does not. Just like it was possible that Paul didn't go in. It's certainly possible.

[00:19:24] So that's what we have in store. And also I would like to give kudos to the 16 house guests that we found out about. None of them to our knowledge has been pulled from the cast and replaced. So a little bit of some applause for the big brother.

[00:19:43] I was going to choice that was. All right. Melissa, let's go. Okay. For my number one pick, I'm debating between two people, one of which may shock you, but I think I'm going to go with the not shocking one. Yep. Yep. So I'm going to pick Tucker.

[00:20:11] What? Oh my God. It's shocking. Oh my God. But I just have to say let me sit down for a second. He really impressed me with his interview.

[00:20:24] I think his answers were all really like thorough and well thought through and really gave me some understanding of his background and where he comes from and what he might bring to the game.

[00:20:34] And I loved his, um, his answer where he talked about like how he comes from all these various different things where he's had all these different experiences like theater kid or like, or jock or, you know, bully, bullied, etc.

[00:20:51] Like I just feel like it all comes together to create like a better package. And also he, he mentioned multiple times that like this is a game.

[00:21:03] He's going to play it as a game. He doesn't care about it being on TV. He just wants to like, you know, backstab and like and win. And so I do appreciate that a lot. Um, yeah, I was just very impressed with his answers.

[00:21:19] Um, so I was honestly very surprised as well because I really wasn't expecting it. Like I saw the photos and I was like, okay, this guy, whatever. And he just seemed very different from the way his picture looks. So yeah. Okay. Young Enzo goes number one.

[00:21:37] So I mean, he gave me, he actually gave me Cody Califuri vibes. Um, initially. And then he said people say he's like Jim Carrey and I saw that as well.

[00:21:49] Um, but, uh, and then it turned out by the way that he actually knows Cody Califuri that they actually took classes together or something. They know each other. They know each other.

[00:22:04] Yes. Um, so I do think there's a lot of promise in the, in the sense that he's athletic. He's good looking. He's charismatic. He has all of those things. However, there's another person I think I see a little bit of in him as well. Yes.

[00:22:24] And that is Nick Yuhas. Oh, I feel like there might be a hosting career for him after all this could be, could be.

[00:22:33] But, uh, you know, Dom and Colin back in the day, they love to talk about, uh, I don't remember the exact term they use, but like the, the shark, the something shark of this year, like just overly sharky person.

[00:22:46] He I think is too obviously good at this game or could be good at this game where Cody kind of has like this chill vibe of like he's kind of a bro. He seems like, uh, he's, he's very easy to underestimate.

[00:23:03] I don't know that anyone's going to underestimate Tucker based on the kinds of things we've seen from him so far. He really just comes off a little too sharky to me. I don't know.

[00:23:16] So my question to you, Melissa is how are you saying you're super confident that Tucker who wants to come in first and leave last to break. And I'm quoting the stigma.

[00:23:25] You think Tucker is going to break that shit, but you think he's going to be the first big brother U.S. like main season person to come in first and win the game? I do really want to go in first.

[00:23:35] I think anything's possible, but I also think I think I was, I'm also, uh, intrigued by him because he does remind me of Zach Rantz who I absolutely loved on his season on his season.

[00:23:48] And, uh, so I just like, I feel like he'd be fun to root for or to watch play. So I also was thinking of like, who do I, who am I excited to watch in the house? So yeah, that went into my pick process.

[00:24:04] I'm on any thoughts on Tucker? Yeah, man. I feel like it's a really interesting choice. Um, I, I didn't know that he was also a chef. He mentioned that in one of his interviews.

[00:24:13] So I guess him and Lisa can might, you know, maybe be the bond a little bit over something. So there's a, there's a battle where they're battle. It'll be turned into two different reality shows at one damn time. Let's do it. Um, so, you know, we'll see.

[00:24:28] I like that he said that he's really sort of wants to be sort of like the laid back, um, chill jokester type. Um, I like the fact that there is sort of like this duality to him that he mentions about being the bully and being bullied.

[00:24:39] There's like a, a bit of an irreverence there that feels like, you know, he kind of understands the type of person that he is. He talks about how he, uh, you know, has, will have to tone down his competitive nature.

[00:24:50] I don't know how good he is at that. We don't have any data on that yet. So that's the only that gives me pause is like, okay, are you going to be able to tone it down?

[00:24:59] Or do you feel like you need to win every damn comp because if you're like, you need to win every damn comp then that might be an issue. But if he can temper himself, I think, I think it's a pretty, I think it's a good pick.

[00:25:09] Um, I have one question for Taren here. The resident, uh, number one member of the Dan fan club when asked who he would relate to or want to liken his game to, he names Dan as one of the two people.

[00:25:23] What do you think about that? Do you think he has Dan upside? It's, it is what I'm talking about. He's Sharky wants to be dangy sling. Um, he also talked about Brett, uh, to be fair.

[00:25:34] I think, um, and, and I believe he's also the one that mentioned Ian. Um, so probably a big, big brother 14 fan. Uh, but, um, I think that you absolutely could see Dan geesling upside in him, which again, I will say is part of the problem.

[00:25:54] Uh, I think that I have with him, uh, which is that, uh, if you like the whole thing with Dan and season 10 is that everyone was really worried about like who's the one. Who's the next doctor will, and it wasn't Dan.

[00:26:07] It was Brian, like, uh, and Tucker is more the Brian I think in this particular instance. Yeah. My, my thing, Melissa's, I like him. I think he'll be fun. I agree with the Zach Grant stakes.

[00:26:19] I think he's going to be entertaining on fees and entertaining on the show. My one worry is this duality where he wants to be Dan on one end and then the other end, he's like, yeah.

[00:26:27] And you know, if everything goes wrong, I'm just going to light the bus on fire and run over somebody and I'll be Brett. And I'm like, well that is two different players. You got to decide a lane.

[00:26:34] If you pick the second one, you're thinking you're going out, but at least it's going to be entertaining. So I'm going to be rooting for that. I also think he has like, he comes across more as like kind of a goofball.

[00:26:45] Like, and I think that could work in his favor. Um, I think from his, the looks of him, you would not expect his personality to be the way he was in the interviews.

[00:26:54] So I do think that like him playing up his like goofy nature and you know, just like the Jim Carrey-ness of it all. Um, I think that that could help him and make him seem like, oh well he's not a threat. He's just like goofy or whatever.

[00:27:11] Um, so I do think that that could help him. Um, I think like in terms of like athletic guys, which like he seems to be an athletic guy. He doesn't fit the mold like you would see in like a classic like, oh okay.

[00:27:27] He's just like a cop beast and he's just like some competitive person, whatever. He has like more to him than that as far as I could tell from the interviews. So I thought it was, uh, I don't know. And then I go for it. All right.

[00:27:42] There is Tucker. I'm curious to know from the panel, do you feel like, was this a season that has a consensus number one, number two pick? Uh, do you feel like are there locks at the top of the draft? No, there's a top six for me.

[00:27:58] Yeah. Same with me. That's why I was like, exactly. And that's why the 17th person could be a rough one because if it's like a attorney who has some semblance of a head on their shoulders, they could just run roost.

[00:28:11] Um, but there's a lot of people I like, which is why I was like, okay, not being the first pick. It's like there are, you know, you can pick anybody and it's almost not a wrong pick.

[00:28:17] I think the reason for that too, Rob is I feel like a lot of these people happen to be like on the more recruit side of things.

[00:28:24] So I feel like a lot of the answers that we got in the, in the interviews were sort of like, oh, you said that was a golden nugget right there, which you just said. And then it would be a whole much enough thing.

[00:28:34] I feel like that was like the case for a lot of them.

[00:28:36] So like, I feel like if like five of these people were mashed into one human being, we'd be like, yes, that's the one, but you don't really have that, which I think, you know, it's kind of exciting. So, you know, kind of tossing up a little bit. Okay.

[00:28:47] Wide open for Amon with the number two pick in the draft. Okay. Okay. I really, I feel like I've allowed a little bit of the hype that this person has been receiving to sort of really push me towards the direction.

[00:29:06] This is not someone that I initially wanted to go for only because I wasn't really getting enough of like, I'm ready to play. I'm ready to make those hard decisions type vibe from this person.

[00:29:20] But I do think that it still could be a solid pick and I'm trying to change my ways. I'm changing my ways instead of going for the people that make me feel something. I'm trying to be a little bit more smart this time around. Okay.

[00:29:33] So I am going to go for to core Tucker isn't the core. Is it T core or T core? I believe for yeah, that was going to be my that was who I was debating between and I was like, wait, are they both Tucker? T core Tucker.

[00:29:50] Imagine the ship name. I mean, hey, I am she's she's comes off as very sort of like a little unassuming right. She's got like this really cute smile. She crocheted she's built a business for herself.

[00:30:08] Her designs are actually I mean, we've gotten to see a few of her things online, but girl is talented and you know anything like that sewing knitting all that stuff is like Greek to me and I know that it takes a lot of meticulous energy and focus.

[00:30:20] So if you're willing to spend all that time and build yourself in the ground up on an artisanal business like that I feel like you probably have a lot of patience that you have a lot of resolve and you have a lot of time to do that.

[00:30:31] You have a drive to get things done.

[00:30:34] And so I think when you match something like that with and put it in the package that is to core she's so sweet so nice and very self aware talks about being adaptive coming from London having two gay mothers living in the south side of Chicago.

[00:30:47] There's a lot of like story there and I feel like she's someone that can, you know, sort of like walk into a room and sort of assess where she needs to be and go in the right direction so I'm putting my money down on to core.

[00:31:01] I'm not a good pick. I don't know about her comp ability, but you know, we'll see. All right, some developing news from the chat that many have confirmed that T core is friends with survivor 41s. Xander Hastings. True. That's cool. It is very cool.

[00:31:25] So already a little bit of the connection there. Yeah. Xander was in Chicago with us back in May. So it would be great if maybe Xander's watching the season wants to come on. Yes. You totally underestimated your friend. I really like this pic.

[00:31:42] This was honestly, I was debating between these two Tucker and T core because I just think that she's so I just loved all of her interviews and I felt like she has a good head on her shoulders. I was surprised when I saw that her age is like 23.

[00:31:57] I really thought she was older than that. And so that gave me a little bit of pause, but not enough pause to not can put her as my second pic.

[00:32:05] So I do really like her and I think that she could do a good job of getting in with everybody and she seems really intelligent. So she'd be able to use that to her advantage.

[00:32:19] But like is like you said, come to crosses sort of unassuming so you would not necessarily suspect her. So yeah, I really like her a lot. Okay. T core has got a big fan club already. Hard to quibble with the number two pic.

[00:32:42] I'm very much rooting for T core. I hope she does well. Okay. I feel like that there's unsaid there that you don't necessarily think she's going to do well. I hope she does. I don't have anything to say. Stelly won't say it. Okay, good to know.

[00:33:04] I don't want to give her my draft strategy. Okay. The only the one thing I will say this last thing about the core is that the only thing that gives me a little bit of pauses.

[00:33:12] I feel like as of lately in terms of like females that have one big brother, it's like it's like. It's almost as if you have to sort of have like this.

[00:33:21] You have to either be like this angel, like a Jordan Lloyd and have everyone else hate the other person or you have to sort of be like this cut through a person or you hit like a once in a lifetime jackpot and have like this Cinderella story of of Taylor.

[00:33:35] And I don't necessarily know if to core like fits any of those molds. So I'm just sort of interested to see sort of like given what we know about like how women playing this game is viewed these days.

[00:33:45] I'm just wondering if she has enough of a killer instinct for the game.

[00:33:48] That's the biggest thing that gives me pause, but I'm hoping that maybe she won't have to really be as cutthroat as you know, I'm hoping for like more like a Nicole friends will be the 18 game from her. You know what I mean? Yeah, I don't recall.

[00:34:00] Did T course seem to have a lot of previous big brother knowledge? I mean, she named she named up a couple of people, but it didn't seem like anything like super substantial. Yeah. Okay.

[00:34:14] And I'll be all. All right. Let's then go to Puyah who gave himself the number three pick. Yeah, and is very conflicted in his pick because I'm between two or three people, but I'll just say two people here. Did anybody get sniped from you already?

[00:34:35] No, I mean, I knew that to core and Tucker were probably going to be out in the first five. So I knew that I'm getting not going to get either or one if I'm lucky, but I wouldn't say it's a snipe.

[00:34:47] I don't think it's like a huge loss. There are a couple of choices here for me. I so badly want to pick one for the meme, but I don't want to do that in the first round. Do it for the meme. No, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:35:02] I'm going to listen. Okay. Gamble time. I'm going to pick Quinn. Quinn off. Yeah, I really like our chicken dinner. I really liked what Quinn was saying in the interviews and granted, I agree with what Sharon Tharp was saying is that it's a lot of canned answers.

[00:35:22] These new age videos now we don't really get a lot to chew on here and it's tough to really pick anything out. But I just felt like Quinn spoke about the game so eloquently. I love the call out to Jason Guy. I liked that a lot.

[00:35:38] I was fascinated the way Quinn brought up the frogs, doves, rats, snakes. I thought that was very cool. I really like that. Those are all roles in Goose Goose Duck. They very well could be. Quinn might be a developer in disguise and we don't know this.

[00:35:54] Now the thing with Quinn for me is like Quinn mentioned I'm athletic and I was like, okay, I didn't know this. And I wouldn't have on first glance thought this. So that is good for you. I like that.

[00:36:07] Now, Taryn, you brought up Matt Hoffman when you talked about Quinn and I did think that a little bit as well, which could be intriguing to me. Joseph gave me Matt Hoffman. Well, I kind of think the athletic abilities.

[00:36:20] I think if Quinn is truly athletic, I think Quinn at the wall comp could be doing some damage. Um, well, no, I'm very intrigued by Quinn. I'm very intrigued by Quinn and I'm curious how we all think Quinn is going to do. Yeah.

[00:36:34] I mean, I'll tell you, I thought I was going to be picking Quinn in the fourth spot.

[00:36:39] I thought, uh, I thought that would be not, he's not necessarily my first pick, but given the picks that were happening, I kind of thought, okay, Quinn's probably going to be the one I go with.

[00:36:48] So I was a little surprised that you picked him because I do think a quintessential Taryn pick. I will say, I think I'm pretty pleased with the person I'm going to get instead that I thought would be picked.

[00:37:03] But but I do think there's a lot of upside with Quinn and athleticism is a huge part of that. And knowledge of the game is a huge part of that as well. Yeah.

[00:37:16] I would say again, part of the potential issue with Quinn is that he sounds really smart. And that's scary glass person like Matt who is really concerned about super fans and nerds. So like I'm a little concerned about that for him, but I he's definitely another one there.

[00:37:35] I'm like, I hope, I hope things go well. Yeah. No, I agree with that take as well because you know, when Matt was talking about these super fans that know all the statistics, I was like, you get, do you take one look at Quinn?

[00:37:47] You're like, you like statistics, don't you? Like I feel like Quinn gives that energy, which could be a little concerning for him. See, I thought that too.

[00:37:54] I mean, he definitely is, you know, they're fitting the archetype of the stereotype, you know, no, excuse me, nerd, super fan type deal. And that's fine and everything. But I, you know, I didn't really get like arrogant super fan from him. I didn't get, I know everything.

[00:38:10] I didn't get like, I'm a big brother historian, even though I am, I'm not going to like make it like as forthcoming. It seemed like when I was listening to him talk, it felt very natural.

[00:38:19] It felt very like, you know, like I'm a big fan of the show. I've been watching since season 11. So I know a lot about, I think it could do really well as opposed to like, I know everything there is to know about this show.

[00:38:29] I'm not a super fan. I'm going to do this, this, this, this and this. He just feels like I'm a chill ass super fan and I'm ready to play. I'm really excited and I just hope that it goes my way.

[00:38:39] And I would much rather take that type of super fan over the one that I just mentioned. So, you know, I think that they're, you know, obviously when it comes to super fans, you're either like, oh, an in or like, or like a Josh Martinez, right?

[00:38:53] So there's like Carly any in between, but maybe we can find the in between with him. So I'm excited to see him play. Yeah, I like him a lot. I really liked his interviews.

[00:39:02] I thought that I loved the way that he like had seemingly like really thought about the game and like how he wants to play it or how, how it has been played in the past and how he wants to play.

[00:39:13] I really do think that he'll, he'll be fun to watch at the very least. I'm, I am nervous. Like once again that like, even though he's saying like I'm a fan of the show, I'm not a super fan, whatever.

[00:39:24] I'm worried that he's going to come across as a super fan or even if he doesn't come across as a super fan, like they'll look at him and be like, oh, he must be a super fan.

[00:39:34] Like even if he just knows like one thing about the show, they'll be like, oh yeah, that's the super fan of the season because there has to be one. So I am worried about that.

[00:39:42] But I think like the fact that he's secretly athletic will definitely help him for sure. And yeah, I just felt like I really liked all of his answers. And so I am excited to see what he does in the house and how he plays. Okay.

[00:40:00] Anything else about Quinn? It's probably going to be the only one Cam talking to us this season. All right. So, Taryn, you said you were going to be happy with who you got with the fourth pick. Yeah. It's somebody else. This person could maybe Cam talk.

[00:40:21] This is a this is a pick that's definitely like I would say half head, half heart. He doesn't quite fit all of my criteria, but I'm very happy to have him on my team. I'm going chemo. Chemo. Okay. All right. Here we go. Chemo Apaka. Yes.

[00:40:46] And in the way that he talked about the show, I think is like deceptively deep. Like I think that you wouldn't expect chemo given his personality. He describes himself as emotional.

[00:41:01] He seems like he's very easygoing, but he also seems to have like a really deep knowledge of the game. And I think that's a really cool combination. So I love that for him.

[00:41:11] I don't know, like, you know, in a in a cast of athletic people, I don't know what his athleticism is, but, but like the elephant in the room here is that as a man, he is more likely to win competitions if they don't change the competitions.

[00:41:30] So that alone is still at this point, unfortunately, an advantage in competitions. So, so like the, the uncertainty with athleticism I think is at least kind of balanced out by that by that factor. So I really like him and I'm also really rooting for him.

[00:41:51] So I'm excited to see where chemo ends up. Okay. I love chemo. Chemo is such good energy is going to be so much fun, so bubbly. I will say, Taren, I genuinely thought chemo was going to be a second round stealer type situation for me.

[00:42:10] I didn't expect chemo to go in the first round because the end of the feeling I got watching him was I could see chemo is a little louder than some of these other house guests, a little more vocal just on audio level.

[00:42:23] I'm not even saying like vocal and like getting in people's faces that by any means I'm a little worried for chemo in the first couple weeks. But after that, I think chemo's got all the tools needed and I'll be rooting for him for sure. I completely agree.

[00:42:37] I think his biggest concern will be that he is probably not invited in the big mega alliance initially. That's like certainly a concern but you know. Okay. Taukar says Taren just won the draft. Damn shut it down. It's over. No name, loyalty. Not Taukar. Come on.

[00:43:04] He says back in sequester. Yeah. Anything else on chemo? I liked him a lot. I liked his answers. I thought he was a fun personality. Is he the one who said he liked Andy? Yes. Yes.

[00:43:23] I did appreciate that a lot because I felt I feel like Andy's win doesn't go like as noticed as some of the other wins and like people's don't really bring that up a lot.

[00:43:30] And so I do appreciate that he recognizes that Andy is a really good winner and that maybe he will take some of that, like take some of what Andy was able to do and kind of use that to his advantage. So I think that's really great.

[00:43:46] I think didn't he say June as well? Yeah. He gave a Neapolitan answer of Dan, June, Andy and Devon. Those aren't like classic. Some of them aren't classic names that someone would say as like, I mean Dan, of course, yes, but like some of them you really,

[00:44:02] it's a kind of a deep cut to say Andy or to say June. So I do really appreciate that. And that genuinely is the kind of game.

[00:44:11] Like I said, I don't think he's the most likely person to get an invite to that first in a big mega alliance. So you will likely need to play that kind of rat floater game or something along those lines in order to succeed.

[00:44:24] Right. So yeah, I really liked his answers. Also, he was just really fun. He was like, he brought energy to some of the questions when it was kind of dull from other players. So I did really appreciate that.

[00:44:37] And so I do feel like he'll be fun to watch. Okay. Four picks down. Four picks that were definitely on my draft board of people that I was looking at. But I kind of had like sort of just like a loose list.

[00:44:53] I didn't have like people that I was dying. So I actually kind of like this spot that I'm in here to go back to back consecutive picks.

[00:45:02] And I have a few different options of where I could go, but I'm going to go with the one that I feel like is

[00:45:10] the most fun pick for me to make and give me a guy I never thought I would say I will take in the big brother draft. Give me Joey Rodriguez. That's the meme. That's the meme. Why not? Why not? You guys should totally hook up.

[00:45:31] Yeah, I just think he's going to be very fun. And I think it could be look, it may he may be a flame out that is certainly on the table. I think that he's also a real possibility to be somebody who just really eats it up this season.

[00:45:49] Yeah, Rob, this is your Kevin Jacobs pick. Yeah. Like if it goes well, it's going to go really well. Then the Kevin Jacobs pick was like, I took that at the end.

[00:45:58] Everybody was so out on Kevin because of his interviews, but I don't think that Joseph really put out anything that was like, oh, that's a real red flag and stop me unless somebody feels differently.

[00:46:12] Like he definitely seems like that he marches to the beat of his own drummer, but I do think that he has a little bit of like the villain upside. I would have been happy to have Joseph. Yeah. Yeah, he was near my top of the list.

[00:46:27] Like I really liked his answers. I feel like he seems to know what the game and what he wants to do going into the house. Yeah, I think it's a great pick.

[00:46:38] I think there was, yeah, there was nothing in his answers that was like, I don't know about that. So yeah, I think it's a great pick. And Big Brother loves a quirky character.

[00:46:47] Like I feel like that, like a Turner, how much they featured him a couple seasons ago. Anything wacky that he was saying the producers love this when the producers, you know, love a player, they get featured a lot. Things go their way.

[00:47:04] So I think there's a lot of upside for Joseph. Yeah. I think I, I think I wasn't the only person actually that like he gave Matt Hoffman vibes to because I saw on Twitter other people. Yeah. Like Eric Stein comments on his video, twist number one.

[00:47:21] This is actually Matt Hoffman in disguise doing a bit. He like the mannerisms like just there's definitely a Matt Hoffman vibe there, which I like because I like Matt Hoffman. But Matt Hoffman is a little bit sketchy.

[00:47:36] Like, like in a game of social strategy, you kind of feel like he's a little bit sketchy. And on top of that, I will say this and this is maybe a leap too far.

[00:47:46] But like in one of the videos they talked about like what would you never do? And somebody said I would never like make up a medical condition and they showed a clip of Matt Hoffman doing that as though they were specifically talking about Matt Hoffman.

[00:47:59] And if he gives that person Matt Hoffman vibes, I don't remember who it was. That could be bad. Yeah. I mean, he definitely feels a little smarmy. I don't know if it's the mustache.

[00:48:14] I'm not really sure what it is, but yeah, he does definitely give a little bit of sleaze bag energy, but like levelable sleaze bag. You know what I mean? Like because he works in a video store. Exactly Rob. She got to get video stores. I don't know.

[00:48:30] They just seem so seedy to me, but anyway, I just feel like he, I do feel like you know if he's able to sort of like really embrace this type of character that he's got going on. Exactly. Do not take a damn thing from this man.

[00:48:44] When that trench coat. Why? When that trench coat opens up run honey. Run honey. Too far. I don't think he actually gives personally, I don't think he gives sketchy vibes. I think he gives Matt Hoffman vibes. Matt Hoffman ruined those vibes in season 12. No, here's my thing.

[00:49:07] As the resident facial hair haver, I talked about this on my stream. The mustache is cool. Whatever that's fine. I'm going to do a mustache. I didn't love was that the mustache was a little bit uneven.

[00:49:20] The one side came more straight down and was thicker than the other side. And I didn't like we're doing must critique here. There was a little lot in that. What does that say about your game? If you can't maintain a balance is going to look bad.

[00:49:32] You know what I mean? Melissa critiquing Kylan. The movie. Okay. All right. One comment he did say that, that I was like, what are you talking about? Is when he was asked, how will you make your mark this season?

[00:49:48] I feel like nowadays people are very mindful of what they say. And then he pauses it and I'm not a bad person. So I know I'm not going to say anything too crazy that'll get me in trouble.

[00:49:57] I was like, Joseph, why would what do you mean by that? Joseph, what do you actually liked that? He was just like, I'm not a bad person. I'm not going to be worried about it. Like bad people need to worry about it. Not me.

[00:50:10] I mean, that's a bad sound clip to have if he ends up saying something. But if he does it, then like, yeah, I've all four been. When has a Joey Rodriguez ever said something that they had to walk back? Low. It's never happened. All right.

[00:50:26] So there we go. One round in the books, five picks are done. The draft comes back to me and I have a couple of ideas of what I'm going to do. But I think that I have landed on that. I'm going to order off the menu. Okay.

[00:50:41] I'd like to order the mystery box, please. Wow. 17 house guests for me. Who is it? I don't know. Now I had a couple of other people that I was looking at, but nobody that I felt like that I had to have.

[00:51:04] I have the last pick in the draft anyway. It's very clever. I actually loses no positioning here by doing this. So he was always going to be in the end. Yeah, I'm always in the end. I'll still have a pick of one of three, but why not?

[00:51:21] The Senate and the 17th house gets is getting it. Okay. It's happening. Yeah. Now my question is, will the 17th house guest be somebody who if not a returning big brother player, a, a, a reality TV veteran, a notable name or some kind of a celebrity of sort.

[00:51:45] I mean, I feel like that big brother got a lot out of having Suri in the house last season. I think that maybe they might want to go back to that well. Maybe perhaps not a survivor, but would it be out of the question if

[00:51:59] they found some other like famous person? I don't think so. I mean, we talked about this yesterday, but like, you know, I think that the traders has been one of the more successful reality competition shows out there and they are finding a lot of success.

[00:52:17] I think almost not entirely, but like certainly a huge portion of their success is coming off of the fact that they, their casting is so good. And, and I, I don't think that big brother loves that.

[00:52:33] I don't think that big of their loves that like the traders is getting to just like take their best fines and, and, and like find success off of that. So I think that, you know, it wouldn't surprise me if they were like, well, we'll do that too then.

[00:52:47] Yeah. Is there a celebrity that's crazy enough to go into the big brother house? I'm still not convinced that it's actually going to be a real player. I feel like this, even better, even better.

[00:53:02] Yeah. To me it feels like they're making such a big deal about the AI twist. I would have to imagine that this 17th house guest is probably some form of AI. Now that doesn't mean that a celebrity can't, you know, come in

[00:53:15] and essentially be the avatar for the AI. But to me it feels like what they're going to do is have someone or something enter the house that specific AI computer is going to get all of

[00:53:25] the data entered into it. These are all of the personality types of all of the players. This is what happens. This is the person that went at your wage. These are the people that are on the block. This is who won this competition.

[00:53:34] This is one of the veto and then the AI house guest is going to compute all of that knowledge and figure out what the best step moving forward for them is and whether or not the players can maneuver around that AI. We'll see if not, I don't know.

[00:53:45] I feel like it's going to be a temporary twist no matter what I feel like the 17th AI house guest is probably going to be out before jury. But that's just sort of like where I'm at with it.

[00:53:52] So I was going to steer clear of it. If it ends up being an actual player, it will be, but I'm just not sold yet. So Amon what you're saying is that the 17th house guest is going to be Brandt. Brandt Steele. Essentially. Yeah. Okay.

[00:54:09] I think so. Like some more sophisticated version of that. So when the idea of the mystery box and the punishment of not being able to draft came up, I thought it was a fair punishment because I've been building a conspiracy theory of my own since the cast dropped.

[00:54:24] Now stay with me here. Let me know if I'm a little off base. So the theme is AI. AI is computers. Computers can be hacked. Computer security. A lot of these people watch BB 20. A lot of these people brought up one person that one person typed anal lice.

[00:54:41] I think Brett could be a good candidate to be in this 17th house guest spot because I do agree with you. Amon, I think the first month it's going to be some AI theme twist. I think there could be holograms. There could be that kind of stuff.

[00:54:56] I don't think it's going to be a whole house guest. I don't think that's going to be the case because they already showed that extra screen in the, in the living room now. That's like, it's like from this company that specializes in holographics.

[00:55:08] So I'm assuming that's probably where the 17th house guest is going to reside. I've also seen what Julie said about how she's going to be more involved. I think it's just going to be a Julie hologram. I don't think it's going to be the house guest.

[00:55:19] I think she's just going to be like in the house. So they're going to be beaming Julie into the house like Princess Leia in Star Wars? Yes. I mean, listen, maybe there's a whole place. Yeah. So, all right. Brett would not surprise me that you're making some sense.

[00:55:38] That's interesting. Returning Brett. I think there's a lot of upside there. I mean for that Brett the first time wasn't that bad. A returning Brett could really crush. I think. Not to mention he's already done the circle also. Okay.

[00:55:53] So we'll see mystery house guests for me with the sixth pick. And so we return back to our regularly scheduled programming and Taren has the seventh pick. Taren were you ever going to pick the mystery pick?

[00:56:06] I feel like you are my top candidate to go for that temptation. I would have considered it here if Rob hadn't because it also wouldn't have impacted me too much. But man, it definitely feels risky and it would have depended on who I had left.

[00:56:24] And so given who I have left, I'm not sure because there's still one person here that I think I need to pick because that's the way it goes. You know what I mean? It's just the way it goes lately. I got to go with Cam. Cam. Okay.

[00:56:50] We're out here. More Cam. Since basically like from Big Brother 20 to Big Brother 21 to Big Brother 22 to Big Brother 23. The Big Brother 24. Well, not quite Big Brother 24. That's the only one.

[00:57:07] That's what I'm saying is that pretty much every season in the last like six years has been determined by physical competitions except for Taylor sneaking through. Right? And so it's kind of absurd to not just go for a big physical. Compatibility.

[00:57:28] You know, it's just the way it is. And listen, because here's the thing. If I'm wrong and the competitions are different this season, then I'm happy the competitions are different this season.

[00:57:42] If I'm wrong and a Taylor Hale manages to overcome the disadvantage, I'm happy because Taylor Hale did it again. Yeah. If I'm right, at least I picked according to the way it was going to go. Okay. I was not impressed at all with Kim's interviews.

[00:58:02] I just felt like he just kept talking about how he can't wait to make friends and how he was really excited for the true friendships he was going to make in the house. So it's like, what is this? He didn't say anything about the show.

[00:58:14] He's got to offset his physicality somehow. Sure, but he didn't. He doesn't have to say that to us. I mean, like they're not going to think he's super threat. Like threatening as a strategic player because he's not saying anything strategic.

[00:58:26] He doesn't need to be like this non strategic player to the, to us in the interviews. No, I'm not saying he is. I'm saying as a non strategic player just watch that Jagwin. Yeah, I know. But Jag got good answers in his interview.

[00:58:42] For me, he gave me absolutely nothing. I honestly, I put him down as my 13th pick because I was just like so not impressed. Damn, unlucky number 13. He was not that bad. For me, like he didn't do anything for me.

[00:59:00] And the fact that he just kept talking about making friends and things like that. Like I get that he'll be, you know, good at competitions, but like there was just nothing else there. He seems like a nice guy, like totally seems like a nice guy, whatever, whatever.

[00:59:12] But in terms of like a player of the game, I just didn't see any strategy there. I really hope I'm proved wrong. I really hope that he like actually like is one of those people that just like picks up the game really fast.

[00:59:25] He obviously like doesn't know the game at all. And then he talked about like the big couch. Like there is no big couch. There's two couches and then there's two nomination chairs. What about the big blue couch? Hey, those couches are pretty big. The two couches.

[00:59:39] For me, I was like, Oh, okay. So he really doesn't know the show at all. He's really a big blue couch. Melissa, he was a big fan of season 23. Sure, sure. But he wants to get slimed.

[00:59:51] He doesn't, it didn't seem like he knew or cared about the strategy of the game at all. It's not like, you know, he was a recruit, but he did his homework or anything like that. So for me, he just fell really flat.

[01:00:02] So he has a great YouTube channel or TikTok channel. Also, he said he likes Jared as his favorite. The chat just reminded me like, come on. I did. He's just trying to suck up to Suri. We get it. Like it's a good move. He's so strategic.

[01:00:19] He might have a show. He might not. He said something, I forget what sentence he said, but it was like it alluded to the fact that he had just recently learned the rules of the game, which is fine. Right?

[01:00:31] Like we already know that sometimes recruits can come in and really smash it. We've seen it happen before. I won't, you know, rob him of that possibility.

[01:00:38] The thing that was interesting to me was that he said that repeatedly that he wanted to get into an alliance to start off, which is good. You should always be in the big alliance.

[01:00:46] Most people that have won the game have been in the big alliance in the beginning. But he said that he wanted to have an alliance with the older people, which I found interesting because he's one of the youngest in the cast.

[01:00:59] Most of them are like probably over the age of 25 this season it seems. So does that just mean everybody? Like I'm wondering like what is in his mind? What is in his mind when he says older? Like is he talking about Kenny and Angela?

[01:01:15] There's only two of them. You are going to be the one that goes before they go.

[01:01:19] So are you trying to be the savior of the parents because let me tell you, those parents have mouths to feed and they will get rid of you the moment that they get the chance.

[01:01:27] So I'm like, I don't know if you're positioning yourself in the place that you want to be. So we'll see. I think it sounds nice.

[01:01:36] It sounds like I'm going to be the one that is the champion for other people that are usually always voted off in the beginning. That sounds nice, but is it good strategy? I don't know.

[01:01:45] Now granted when you get into the house, things can change as they often do, but that going in is a little concerning. For me, if he said he liked Jared, that explains why he wants to work with parents who are good at manipulating people.

[01:01:58] He's just talking about wanting to work with Suri. I really hope my mom is here. That would be swell. That's a thing that happens in Big Brother, I guess, that they bring people's moms in. Who's Suri? Okay. All right. Cam Sullivan Brown, anything else on Cam?

[01:02:19] Lively discussion on Cam. Happy bring your parents to work day, I guess. All right. That was pick number seven. We go back to Puyah who has picked number eight. All right. Okay. I guess I'll do it. I'm going to save Melissa from herself for one.

[01:02:39] Two, I just found this story to be very compelling and you wouldn't believe that someone's answer about a question about Julie Chen. Brings us here, but I'm also going to hop on the, I'm trying to make alliances with the older people trained here with Terran.

[01:02:56] I'm going to pick Matt off the board here. Okay. I think this is a good pick. All right. Matt Hartman. Yeah. Matt was not high up in my list. He was definitely in the middle of the group here. I mean, this is the middle pick.

[01:03:15] Yeah, exactly. So it kind of works out. I feel like I did enjoy some of the things Matt was saying and I feel like he's got a good head on his shoulders there.

[01:03:25] I say for 25, I'm, he's a big question mark for me even as I picked him here. But to Terran's point, I feel like, you know, we got this 25 year old who can do, do some dents in the comps potentially.

[01:03:37] I think he's got good showman's potential which could work out for him. I think he's got an easy invite to the big alliance if that forms. There's a lot of good things for him in the early game.

[01:03:48] And, you know, we all keep saying this, but if you make it the first couple of weeks, you're in a good spot. So I could see Matt doing decent.

[01:03:54] The irony is not lost on me that I did also pick the guy who said, if you're a super fan, I want you out and I also have Quinn. So let's see how that goes. You're just playing both sides. Yeah, you know, you got to bet on both.

[01:04:07] If you bet on both, you don't lose. Hmm. I kind of logic did out more than maybe my heart pick, which we'll get to later. Okay. I mean, I basically had to pick between Cam and Matt for those picking as my comp. East pick. Yeah.

[01:04:23] Matt was my number three draft picks. So I talked about number one, Matt, number three. I mean, not bad. Who is number two? Who is number two? It's a pattern of behavior. T core. Okay. So, uh, yeah.

[01:04:41] So it was I just, I'm looking at who typically wins these things and you have to take that consideration. But not only that, honestly, not only that, I was really impressed with Matt's answers. I liked all of his answers.

[01:04:54] I felt like he seemed like he was easy to get along with and it seemed like he knew the game pretty well. Um, or at least had like a strategy prepared and things like that. So I was very impressed. I was very impressed with him.

[01:05:07] I was very impressed with him. I was very impressed with him. I was very impressed with him to the interviews, not expecting to like him at all. And, and he had won me over by the end. So I do feel like he will.

[01:05:21] I mean, I was more impressed with him than I was with Cam because it does seem like he knows the show and cares about the show, or at least like a little bit.

[01:05:29] And maybe he was a recruit, but at least he's like actually watched the show and knows about it. So I think he's like, I'm not going to be a good player. Yeah. I liked Matt too.

[01:05:40] I would have taken him certainly like in the right spot in the draft. I think that he had some really good answers. I liked the self-awareness of how he might come across and how he's going to play that up.

[01:05:56] I think that he has a really good shot to make friends in the house. I think that's what I would say, but I think that it's going to be a good opportunity to come back and maybe play with you.

[01:06:07] And that's just what I think is going to be. I would definitely like to come back and see who is, somebody we're going to be watching closely here in this beginning of the season.

[01:06:16] I mean, his comment about how he felt like the game can be very healing was extremely interesting to me. He was under the impression that because in the outside world people can be very deceptive and he then said that he wasn't sure if that made sense.

[01:06:30] And I'm still not sure if it makes sense to me even. I feel like I'm kind of following the train of thought, but I feel like he didn't quite land it.

[01:06:38] So I don't know. He does, he has like a little bit of like that nice guy energy just a touch. Also the fact that he also wants to work with the older people because he says that he gets along with them more.

[01:06:54] I'm like, why don't you get along with people your own age? Why? It's a good question. Nobody's asking that. It's just a little concerning. But you know, obviously if he's physical, which he appears to be, that's always a plus with all of these comps.

[01:07:13] So if he can put himself in a good spot and, you know, getting in a big alliance at the beginning, I definitely feel like he can definitely make it to at least jury. Can he lower his threat level? We'll see. It might be like, you know,

[01:07:25] a battle of Tucker versus Cameron versus Matt. We'll see how that, you know, all plays out. But I don't think it's a bad pick, but it's an interesting one. Okay. All right. Michael X says, I can low key see him being like a pooch.

[01:07:40] Oh God, I regret everything. But go, Cardinal says, Puyah, you are easily winning again, LOL. Well, that's the duality of the pick. Extremely subjective. It can either, I can either get pooched or win. Okay. All right.

[01:07:55] We are halfway through. I do have to pass along a note that I'm getting from our YouTube administrators that they are telling us that they are concerned there are not enough likes on this video. Oh damn.

[01:08:12] To avoid any interruption of our stream tonight, we need to get those likes up. Okay. So please, please do what they say. All right. Smash that button. Smash it. Smash that like button. Amon, we're here to get pick number nine from you.

[01:08:36] Oh my gosh. I, uh, we really, this was a very, by the way, this YouTube video, we are, we are keeping the rewind feature on, on all of our YouTube streams all season long.

[01:08:51] If you jump in, you can start from the beginning, go back. They will all be recorded. Okay. Um, I'm sort of stuck between three people right now. Oh my God. Okay. Well, Amon is a good chance that one of them's going to get back to you.

[01:09:15] Yeah. That is very true. I feel like my last one might come back to me. So do I go for the one that I'm a little less jazzed about, but I think I'll be doing a little better. Okay. Oh man. Oh man.

[01:09:33] Oh man. Oh, I was doing so well. I was doing so well and now I'm reverting back to my old ways. Um, I think, uh, oh, I don't know. She just seems too craft to me. I don't, uh, I think do it. That's the one.

[01:09:57] I think I'm going to go for, oh, damn, I don't think I can do it. I am going to go for. Don't be a coward Amon. Yeah. Say it with your chest. Shit. Oh, excuse me. Okay.

[01:10:21] Oh man. Oh, I did not think it was going to be this hard. I've, okay. Okay. I'm, I'm, I will go for. Don't be hasty Amon. Every year I'm like how he's not going to do it again. There's no way. He does it every year.

[01:10:40] I will go for. I'll go for. That's a good pick. Okay. That was the, the hard pick for me if not Matt. All right. Rubina. You know, I really enjoyed her energy. Um, she was very energetic. She was very, uh, just excited to be there.

[01:11:03] Big sis. Yes, that big sis energy was, was, was fun to listen to. That seems to be her strategy. She just wants to come in and, um, and really sort of be that shoulder to cry on for a lot of people and

[01:11:15] just, you know, just be a big sis. Um, you know, she talked about how she's really used to having to either dim herself in certain situations or really, um, assert herself in those situations. And I think that those knowing when to do both of those things

[01:11:31] is good for big brother. Um, only thing I don't, one thing that like gives me a little bit of pause is like she said, and I know a lot of people say this, but she's like, I, I watched the show

[01:11:42] and then I was like, I am made for this show. I'm like, nobody really is made for big brother. You really just have to take it step by step and day by day. But I feel like she has a good enough height on her shoulders

[01:11:52] to like understand that if she gets into the game. Um, I I like her energy and that's, that's what I'm going to go for for right now is for energy. Okay. Um, I had a couple of people ahead of her that are still

[01:12:09] on the board, but I meant it when I said it was between Matt and Rubina for me. I feel like the interview didn't give me a lot. It was all, you know, Rubina did keep saying there's only one Rubina and that's relatable to me because up until this

[01:12:22] last weekend there was one Puyah. Now there's a sock with my name. It's got a whole identity. Unfortunately. So that was relatable. I think Rubina is relax them on. Okay. Relax. So you know about sock Puyah?

[01:12:36] No, you are blessed and your life is great. Um, I feel like there's, there's definitely some good upside from, for me from Rubina. I think that, uh, you know, Rubina, Filipino, Matt Filipino, I think they're going to find each other. Once that's

[01:12:54] that, I think they're going to have each other's backs, which I do like. Um, and I think Rubina is someone who's going to pick the game up quite decently. Rubina also named Frankie, which I thought was a good pick. Someone who's very high energy

[01:13:04] fun, but also does not apply the game decently as well. Um, I liked her. I liked her as a person and I liked her energy and her, you know, who she is. Um, which I do feel like will do well for her in the house. I think

[01:13:25] like she seems to be the type to get along with people. Um, and people might be drawn to her. I mean, you can see even like the chat is like going nuts over her. So I feel like, you know, if she already has that just from

[01:13:37] these little interviews, like I'm sure she'll do well socially. I am a little concerned about strategic, uh, the strategic aspect of it just because I don't know how else he knows the game. Um, but you know, with a good social game, maybe that'll get her far. The, I

[01:13:54] don't know how athletic she is. Um, but yeah, I do think that like, I hope she does well. I like her. Um, but it'll be interesting to see how what happens once she's in the house. I think she's going to be very fun. I don't know if

[01:14:09] she's going to be a mastermind. One thing I do like with Rubina and I know a couple of people have mentioned this about, uh, that, um, her, uh, she and Matt both talked about, uh, being a Filipino, uh, that

[01:14:22] whether or not that's going to last long term, uh, we'll see, but it does seem like that that's going to be something that they both talked about how, uh, and I feel like that they both brought it up in a way of

[01:14:32] like, Hey, of course I'm going to get along great with with people. I'm, I'm Filipino. Uh, and that's like, uh, she talked about it a lot as like, Hey, I'm gonna, that this is what we do. We make everybody feel like family. So I do feel like that

[01:14:45] the Rubina Matt connection could be something that's also a valuable alliance. Didn't they also both say though that they want to be the first Filipino winner? They can only be one like, no, but they're going to fall on the footsteps of, of, uh, Casey. I was scared

[01:15:00] to say, isn't Casey. Yeah. That's what I was thinking too, but they kept saying that or I thought I heard them say that. I believe Matt said that he would like to also because Matt named Casey as his player, fellow Filipino and said, I would like

[01:15:13] to fall on those footsteps. I see. Okay. Yeah. Well, you know, but that also might make them compete against each other and not want to work together. So, you know, you never know. Yeah. Okay. All right. So there's Rubina. Here she is from

[01:15:27] on and now from Melissa, two picks in a row for the voice of the people. Yeah. Now we're down to my seventh pick on the board. So you're up. That's good. Yeah. I feel like that's pretty good. Um, so, um, I'm going to go

[01:15:43] with Chelsea. Okay. Okay. Um, at first I wasn't to taken with her because I was like, okay, what's she giving? I don't really know. Like I'm not really getting that much, but then the more she talked, uh, the more I really ended up

[01:15:58] like liking her a lot and also thinking that she's going to be fun and social and also that she knows the game. Um, at first I didn't think she knew it at all, but she talked about, I believe she's the one who talked

[01:16:12] about her family watching together. I don't know how much she watched, but I feel like that's more than a lot of the other people. Um, so for me, that meant something to me that she actually knows the game and she

[01:16:25] does seem to want to actually play. Um, I don't know how strategic she's going to be, but I think she has a chance and, um, yeah. So I don't know. I'm excited to see her play. She had some energy. Yeah. Oh,

[01:16:39] Laura, I feel like one of the better high energy people in the questions for me for sure. Yeah. She would have been a top pick for me and still kind of is, uh, but like if not for the competition stuff,

[01:16:53] which is not to say that she won't do well in competitions, but, um, you know, this again, I've decided to accept the fate that big brother has handed us, uh, and go along with what they seem to want. Um, but I would have liked to have chosen Chelsea.

[01:17:13] Yeah. I mean, Chelsea, uh, I mean, I like the fact that she said that you wanted to leave her mark by being sort of like, you know, a player that was, you know, did very, very well, was very, very cut to competitions,

[01:17:28] but also did genuinely have, you know, good connections with everyone. I think that's a really hard thing to do in big brother. Um, but you know, shoot for a girl. I think I don't think it's a bad, a bad mindset to have about the game. You know,

[01:17:41] she seems to know like, look, it's going to take some manipulation. I'm willing to do it. It's going to happen. I'll withhold the truth. I'll spread the truth out thin. I'll do what I need to do. Um, so she, you know, she knows that

[01:17:50] she seems to get the general vibe of what needs to happen, which is more than I can say for a few of the other people on this cast. Yeah. Anything else on Chelsea? No, I think you've got a great pick here

[01:18:04] at the number 10 overall. I think she fell in the draft. 100%. Okay. Yeah. All right. So Melissa, you've got one last pick to add to Tucker and Chelsea. Who will your third pick be? And my next pick is Angela. I felt like I liked her answers a lot.

[01:18:28] She's obviously a big fan of the show. Um, she really, really, I mean, it means a lot to her to be on. And to me, that gives me good, a good feeling about the fact that she'll fight and the fact that she'll really

[01:18:43] push to try and stay if something goes wrong. Also the fact that so many people in the cast were talking about how they want to, uh, work with older people and they get along with older people and they like mothers and they're like, you know, they want

[01:18:57] to work with the mother, you know? And I do feel like she has a good chance there. Um, I mean, so many people were talking about how they like really want to find a mother to work with. Yeah, I'm not sure

[01:19:08] what was going on. Very weird, but, um, I appreciate that. And I think that bodes well for her. Um, so yeah, I think like she's not a classic like, oh, just an older person. We just have some like random older person with a crazy

[01:19:23] personality in the house. Like she actually is a fan and really wants to be there. I do appreciate that a lot. And, um, yeah, so I'm picking Angela. Okay. Rest of the panel. What's wrong with Angela? I'm just worried for Angela. There's nothing wrong with Angela.

[01:19:40] Angela had easily uncontested the best answer to make me feel emotional watching the first impressions. That opening answer talking about how much this means to her, I immediately thought this is the exact reason why we do not want a first person. Someone goes home

[01:19:59] the first night twist because Angela is someone that could very much end up getting hit with that, which would be a problem. I feel like the worries I have for Angela's now is that she seems very excited for the experience, which is great.

[01:20:14] But also she's not really had, she mentions I've not really had that college experience, the camping experience. And I feel like that experience of being in a house with a bunch of people you don't really know and like trying to vibe out

[01:20:24] and figure things out. You don't want to be in the big brother house. I feel like that is not the place to test that out. But she's going to be keen, she's going to be excited, she's going to be giving it her all and I'm very

[01:20:35] much rooting for her 100%. Yeah. Do we know the picture that they take? Is this close to what they're going to wear into the house? I don't know. I feel like the blazer, the pants suit, I think that's a bad first impression. I think they normally dress up.

[01:20:52] Don't they normally then like dress up? I feel like they're not wearing the same thing they wear into the house. What's wrong with the outfit? Why don't you like your rob? I just feel like, hey, like, not even to be realtor look, they say on the show. Yeah.

[01:21:08] Like business exec is giving like I'm here to to shake some, I don't know. It doesn't give big brother to me. Yeah. So yeah, I hope they don't make her wear her realtor uniform. This isn't survivor where they throw you out there in your occupational clothes.

[01:21:24] Ain't nobody buying the big brother house. Let me tell you that right now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she's trying to sell the sell the house. Angela stands out a little bit, I think in a bad way, unfortunately for the game, I should say.

[01:21:45] You know, being older and also I think just, you know, having different life experience than I think a lot of the people who are in there will have. And I think that's tough. I think that's tough. It's a tough way to start the game

[01:22:01] if she's not going to be like included in as many things, which there's always a chance and maybe she surprises us, but it's but it's not just like based on age or anything like that, but it's also just like her personality. Like she seems like really sweet

[01:22:16] and maybe that's a wrong read, but like, you know, that doesn't really mesh with the kinds of people that are cast for reality television. And so I the unfortunate reality is that I think the odds are that she's either, you know, out early or kind of dragged along

[01:22:38] for a while and I would love for her to break through that and succeed, but you know, it's definitely going to be tougher. Okay. There's Angela wishing her lots of luck in the house. The chat. Megan says cool principal suit. Madison says it's giving LinkedIn.

[01:23:02] Maybe she got recruited on LinkedIn. You ever think of that? I don't think she was recruited. She said she applied many, many times. Okay. All right. I don't think she wears this coming into the house. So we'll see. I don't think so either. Let's go. All right.

[01:23:17] So, you know, I'm going to go to the chat. You said you had three people you were looking at. Did Melissa take the other two people that you were thinking of? She did not. Okay. Your business. I don't think she took any. So he has. Yeah.

[01:23:36] Both of mine are. No. All right. Here we go. I'll be with that one. I'm going to go to the chat. I'm going to go to the chat. I want to talk it out, but if I talk it out, then. Regardless. So talk it out. Yeah. Okay.

[01:23:57] Right now I feel like I am stuck between. Cedric. And Leah. I feel like Leah got a bunch of flack. Um, during this little preseason here, I feel like based off of some of her answers, everyone was like, get her off the show.

[01:24:14] I don't know what she's talking about. Get her out of here. She's never seen anything. Um, and that is not the impression that I really got from her. I think the question that most people got hung up on with her was

[01:24:25] the fact that they asked like, who do you want to model your game after? And she said she doesn't want to, she doesn't know who she wants to model her game after because she doesn't know who's going to be in the house.

[01:24:34] And a lot of people figured that that meant that she didn't know anybody else on the show to model her game after. That's not the impression I got. I don't know how to answer that question because I don't know

[01:24:45] what's going to, what the house is going to look like. And that to me is fair. Like you don't know what's going to happen. And a lot of people and a lot of the people in this cast have mentioned everyone wants to come up with these big strategies,

[01:24:57] these big master plans. It's about adapting. It's about taking it step by step. It's about taking it day by day. Um, she said that her, both her mom and her sister watched the show so much and always told her that she'd be a good fit for the show.

[01:25:09] She was like, I don't really know what that means until I started watching the show. And I was like, you know what? Yeah, I could probably do this. She gives me such Olivia from BB can six vibes.

[01:25:18] Like she gives me like ice queen energy that we all want to stand and like picks up on the game makes cut through decisions. I can see her with the crown on her head at the end of the season, but I'm scared. Then picker.

[01:25:31] You just made all the points then picker. I feel like I have to balance out my team. I'm not going to say that I'm not going to be in a good position. I'm not going to say that I'm not going to be in a good position.

[01:25:45] Not that there's anything wrong with having all women on my team. There's nothing wrong with that at all, but I do feel like, yes, it does sort of always come back to those comps. And. For Cedric, I'm my big concern is that he wants to

[01:25:57] appear as like this small lovable little brother type. Uh, and it appears that, you know, he will be the youngest out of some of the guys. And a lot of them. I'm not going to be the one to take the leadership position.

[01:26:08] So maybe he can sort of sneak under there and not be the big threat. And everyone is so much a little older than him. So he might really be able to. Get in that cut. Oh, this is it. I'm on you don't have another pick.

[01:26:24] I know five seconds. I'm on. Okay. I'm going to. I'm going to balance out my team and go for it. Cedric, although I really feel like. Yes. Yes. Oh no. Thank you. I'm on. I'm going to balance out my team and go for Cedric.

[01:26:43] I really do feel like Leah can do well. I do. And if she does do well, then. You know, I'll regret my choice forever, but I do feel like yes. The things that ring in my head are the comps.

[01:26:54] And I think that it is important that I have at least someone on my team that has potential to excel in that arena. I'm going to balance out my team and go for Cedric. I'm going to balance out my team and go for Cedric.

[01:27:03] And then I think that he has potential in that arena. He did join the Marines at a very young age and then he got the hell out of there, which I think is an interesting story. It brings a lot of life experience in a condensed amount of time.

[01:27:14] I think that that really does shape and mold a person. He, you know, I think he's aware that he doesn't want to come across as arrogant. He knows that his age. I think that he knows that his age could be more of a deficit than something that helps,

[01:27:29] which I think is smart because. You know, You know, we know the story about Big Brother Casting. They tend to go for people that are more around his age, but he seems to be well aware of the fact it's like, you know, I am young.

[01:27:39] That means I don't know everything. I'm really gonna have to cool it and just sort of like, he talked about like intentionally making sure that people have that expectation of him to be this young know nothing, but change that perception to attract people to his side.

[01:27:54] So I think as long as he tempers himself and as long as he goes into that house and doesn't try to win everything because there are already a few people that I think will try to do that over him anyway,

[01:28:04] I don't think that he stands a good shot at keeping a low profile and making it towards the end. So I'm gonna go for Cedric. Cedric is the first house guest that has made me feel my age. The whole time I was watching his videos,

[01:28:18] like why does he have so much energy? Like this is way too much energy to start every answer. I just think he's too young. And I feel like obviously I'm not saying that young people can't win this game. For sure. Like I definitely feel like someone

[01:28:31] like Chata who came in and was like 19 at the time, I thought had a better shot of winning. I just don't see Cedric at the winning spot. Really is what it is. I think you can be inexperienced in life and do well.

[01:28:41] And I think you could be inexperienced in the game and do well. But I think it's tough to be inexperienced in life and inexperienced in big brother and come in and expect to do well. I think that's fair. Amon, I'm seeing in the chat. No.

[01:28:58] You were the chosen one. You betrayed us. Hey, look, look, look, look, look, look. I know that it was a risky choice. I am well aware of that fact. I think that I have done my due diligence this time to handle the cards that I had been dealt

[01:29:18] and choose the people that I think would bring something to this game. I do think that there is a bit of a diamond in the rough here. Who knows? There could be a little bit of like Ian upside to this kid

[01:29:30] because he feels to me like a little nerdy, like a little undercover nerd to me. That's what I'm getting. I'm not, there seems to make this little exterior of like I'm cool, I'm fresh to death. But I don't necessarily know if that's all that there is to Cedric.

[01:29:43] I'm willing to bet that if you peel that back a little bit, I think that there's something there. So it's risky. It really is. It is a risky pick. But I'm excited about it. I think you just felt your age because I don't think anyone Cedric's age

[01:29:58] says fresh to death anymore. I don't think that's a thing. I don't think they say that. I really appreciate that. Yes, I have. Look, it's not all bad in the chat. Melissa says, stand on business, Amon. I see what you see. Madeline says, I think he's the Jag

[01:30:13] and he'll make it farther than people think. Okay, Emily says, Cedric was a smart choice. I'm with Amon. You're backing. We stand with Amon. I think it's indicative here. I think people are going to underestimate him. He was very well aware of that in his interviews.

[01:30:28] He knew that that was probably what was gonna happen to him when he goes in. So I think as long as he stays in that lane, like he said that he wants to and doesn't like pop off and be like,

[01:30:38] no, I got this, I went with all these comps. I feel like as long as he's just like, I think he has a shot. I really do. Okay, so you're Cedric. Taking by. All right. Puyah, you seem very excited

[01:30:56] when Amon took Cedric and left Leah on the board. Yeah. Here's the thing, as much as I popped off, I don't think the winner of the draft is gonna get decided in this round. Actually, can I just set up who is still left on the board?

[01:31:14] I believe by my calculations, we have five players that are still left on the board. They are Leah, McKenzie, Brooklyn, Kenny and Lisa. Believe that is the five players that are left on the board. Can't believe nobody picked Lisa Donahue. That's the Lisa. Oh, damn.

[01:31:43] I gotta rethink my strategy. Oh no, sorry, Grawb already did. That's the 17th house guess. Wow. What a twist. But yeah, I just don't see the winner being in this group anyway, Amon. So I'm just giving you a hard time to be shady.

[01:31:59] Ironically enough, everything you were saying about Leah is everything I felt watching her initially. I was like, what are you doing here? I don't think you're cut out for this. I don't think you're ready for this. But I've kind of come around on Leah a little bit.

[01:32:15] I think she's got potential for sure. I think there's some relative upside there. And also, Riley upside? I mean, Riley went out second. Is this like the pooch and Riley draft that I've got going on? I got the second boot upside on my team.

[01:32:30] Thank you for bringing that up, Rob, because that was very traumatic for me. I really felt like Riley was gonna do so well. She was gone so quick, I was like, all right, I'm done. Because she kind of gave me a little bit of that too,

[01:32:39] Lisa did, so I'm like, I really rather excuse myself. Just like, that's why I was so hesitant to pick her. But who knows? And also to clarify earlier, the thing with the regards to age, I think Rob put it perfectly.

[01:32:52] I think people that are younger are capable of winning. I'm not saying that if you're young, you're out. It just depends on the person, I feel like. Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and pick Leah. I'm gonna put Leah on my team here.

[01:33:03] When Leah first saw the cashew was like, I thought that was Brittany Haynes. And then I was like, well, they wouldn't just put her as the cast of 16. Could be 17,000. Yeah, I mean, wouldn't that be a situation? Yeah. If it's for the memes though,

[01:33:17] it's fun if the winner of the season had the number 26 tattooed on them before playing the game and then wins. She named checked Liz Nolan. Like I don't think that she's coming in knowing nothing. Even though she's a twin, despite being a twin, she named name drops Liz.

[01:33:34] And you know, this is a archetype we have seen Big Brother dip into, right? The VIP cocktail waitress from Miami. This is not unheard of. I'm, I would love, I would love to be told I got the steal of the draft,

[01:33:52] but we're gonna have to wait and see what happens in the future. Okay. All right. Sam is saying that's it. 17th house guest twin twist. Could be it. So if that 17th house guest is the twin of someone in the draft, Rob, does that mean you have shared?

[01:34:10] Does the person that has one of the twins share a team with you? What does that mean? I think that when? Yeah. Typically, like, you know, if Leah's sister Mia ends up getting into the game, you know, at some point they'll be like,

[01:34:23] Hey, everybody, we have a surprise for you. Leah has been playing as her twin sister Mia. It's fair. Yeah. I feel like I was, yeah, I was not impressed with Leah's answers at all just because I felt like she was like,

[01:34:39] yeah, my sister and my mom loved the show, but like I have, I don't know anything about it. And so that to me was like, oh, okay. So like if we're- But wait till the sister comes in. Yeah, exactly. Where the family is like,

[01:34:52] Oh, you'd be great at this. You'd be great at this. And it's like they're just like, sure, I'll join like, but not cause they actually care or know anything about it. So I was like not super keen. But then when you guys mentioned

[01:35:03] that she reminds you of Olivia, I don't remember who said it. Was it a monodid? It was a monodid. To me was like, oh, okay. I'm into that. So if she's like that, that would be amazing. And I really do hope she is like Olivia

[01:35:17] because Olivia was awesome. So- It's just like that a reverence of it all. I feel like, you know, I feel like if this were like five years ago when I was like hardcore still auditioning for the show, if I saw her interview, I would be so pissed.

[01:35:30] I'd be like, why, why, why, why? But like now that I'm like not in that part of my life anymore, I feel like it's kind of like, it's interesting to me. And it's kind of comedic to me that she's like, girl,

[01:35:44] my mom and my sister said I would be good for this show. I don't really know, but like, I'll give it a shot. Like that to me is kind of fun because it feels like, you know, she's not gonna come into this with like such pressure on herself.

[01:35:54] She's not gonna come into it expecting to like, you know, be the best big brother player ever. That's not really what I feel like she's trying to come in here. She induced, she's just trying to come in here and prove to herself, you know what?

[01:36:04] I think I could do pretty well from what I've seen. So let's give it a shot. Like, and when she's in this big alliance and they're asking her, okay, Leah, who do you think she'd go home? And she's like, I mean, I don't really care.

[01:36:13] Like as long as we're all safe, that's fine, right? Like we're good. Like that's the kind of energy that I think I'm going to get from her. And I feel like that's someone that you don't want to get rid of because you're like, she's a number.

[01:36:23] She's a number. Oh, she won that comp that time. Oh great. All right, Leah, this is what's gonna happen. Like I think that that's where she's gonna sit. And that's a great place to be in at least for the beginning and middle part of the game. Okay.

[01:36:34] All right. Put anything else just about Leah? No, no. Excited to see where this team goes because you know, Big Brother Canada is done Rob, but little known bit of news for people. I drafted the first four boots of Big Brother Canada

[01:36:52] and went out immediately in the PB Can draft. So can you keep it going seven in a row? It's never been done before. Seven in a row would be nuts. Absolutely ridiculous. Let's hope that's not the case, but you know only nowhere but up here.

[01:37:08] No, we're but up. Okay. All right. Interesting part of the draft here. Okay. The fan favorites only Mackenzie, Brooklyn, Kenny and Lisa. Taryn will draft one. I will draft one. And then the audience will get two. Taryn, is there anybody here that you still feel good about drafting?

[01:37:30] There is. I feel like my strategy, I think for this draft went very well in terms of what I'm looking for. I got, I got chemo my heart pick, but he's also got the strategic edge. And then I've got Cam, the athletic pick

[01:37:48] and I get to pick my other pick who I actually for a second thought was being taken when Melissa said Angela. I was like, oh, she took. Oh no, that's your can see. Mm-hmm. Okay. Oh wow. So I will be taking the kids. All right. Wow.

[01:38:06] Here we go. Some great little bit of a sleeper here for Taryn. Yes. I feel like she's got the physicality. I'm hoping at least that she, I mean, she even said that she wants to play like Casey. Casey is some,

[01:38:27] is one of the only women to be able to sort of like win in the comp beast style that has dominated the modern era of Big Brother. And so I'm very much theming my team around this as in part as an indictment

[01:38:45] of Big Brother in the modern era. But I still got my chemo pick as well. So, so yeah, Mackenzie, I feel good about her competition ability. That's what I like. And I feel like she certainly could do fine, I think with like fitting in with people

[01:39:07] and just like making it far and then winning some comps in the end. Yeah. She seems like that she's a blank page to me. I feel like that she could be anything. I mean, that she's 22, I think, right? But it seems like that she's like,

[01:39:27] I'll be surprised if she's not in the big alliance to start the season. Yeah. Oh, for sure. Yeah. She, I totally agree. She was giving me really nothing in any of her answers. Like it was just very basic, like very,

[01:39:42] I really have no clue what her personality is like at all from those interviews. So it'll be interesting to see, you know, what she's like when she gets in the house. It really could go either way. But I do see her as being someone who will get pulled

[01:39:57] into a big alliance right away. So I definitely think that's good for her. I hope that like I get proven wrong in terms of, I don't know if she has a strategy, mainly because they don't think she knows the show at all.

[01:40:12] So I think, Melissa, I think she knows the show a lot. Yeah. Because she knows that Julie Chen Moonves has a podcast called God 101. And you don't know that unless you're a huge fan. Let me give you another piece of information.

[01:40:26] Do you know where she went to college? Yeah. Well, OK, that doesn't mean that she's a big fan of the show that Texas. And baby, you have to be some type of contract that they have. There's somebody. Yeah, it's crazy.

[01:40:46] They I'm sure if you go to Texas A&M, there must be like a haul or portrait somewhere that just has everybody that's been in that damn show from that school. It's just crazy. It's crazy. It's wild. So yeah.

[01:40:58] I mean, I do hope that she, you know, actually wants to play the game and is excited to actually get in there and do it and be strategic and that she picks it up and all that sort of stuff.

[01:41:08] But I just wasn't getting any of that from her interview. So, you know, we'll just have to see. I mean, she was giving like one word answers. So it's really hard to get a read on her.

[01:41:17] It really did feel like at times that she really could care less about the interview and that was kind of annoying. She does sort of remind me a little bit of Angela from BB 20. Just sort of, you know, we all call Angela furniture

[01:41:28] because she was sort of just nondescript a lot of the time rarely showed emotion and just, you know, one when she needed to help that her alliance and then was cut in the end. It's going to be the same thing for her.

[01:41:39] I mean, the interesting thing was is that like she said, I'm going to have to tone myself down a little because I tend to be a lot for people. I was like, really? Because I am not getting that impression at all. So I was shocked by that one.

[01:41:51] I never expected to see someone excitedly fist pump about getting an opportunity to be on Julie's podcast. Like that felt so authentic. That wasn't fake. Yeah. Also, I mean, she does have a Bible verse in her Instagram. So I think that she is like, yeah,

[01:42:08] I think that she's probably she likes God. One on one. She's going to not only be, I guess she could take over that podcast. It's going to be Mackenzie's podcast once she's on there. Mm hmm. OK.

[01:42:17] OK. But one thing I do want to say is everyone in the chat who's saying like, oh, well, she went to a casting call. She knows the show. What they do is when they reach out to you on Instagram, they ask you to come to a casting call.

[01:42:28] Typically, they'll have you do like a video or whatever, and then they'll have you come to a casting call. So just because she's at a casting call does not mean that she of her own volition was like, I love big brother. I know the show.

[01:42:38] I'm going to go to this casting call. They will ask you to come in person to a casting call after you've been recruited off the street. So that doesn't mean anything to me. And so, yeah, that like I don't think she knows the show at all.

[01:42:51] I absolutely think it was a Texas A&M thing where they were like, hey, come join this cast, go to this casting call. You would be great on the running tag. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So there you go. There's Terrence, a third and final pick. And it's Mackenzie.

[01:43:06] So I have a choice here. There are three people left in alphabetical order. They are Brooklyn, Kenny and Lisa. OK, we have Brooklyn, the married mom. We have Kenny, the former undercover cop and Lisa, the celebrity chef. OK, let me ask the let me do a little exercise.

[01:43:28] OK, who does the chat want? Who does the audience want? Oh, so you're asking them? I'd like to pick one of these three and they get two. Can I say what Lisa? I would assume so is my guess.

[01:43:46] Rob, if I was to tell the talk through what I think typically, if you weren't weighing this option out with the chat, I feel like Lisa is such a raw pick. You think so? OK, talk it through. Because you know, I've seen the audience say we want Lisa.

[01:43:59] We want Lisa. They do want Lisa. Take that, bro. Take her. We are arguing against the audience. No, I'm not. But here wasn't an option. Why is it a Rob pick? Because Rob, you will typically pick someone who can be a bit

[01:44:11] of a wild card is kind of like you think there's going to be some mean potential, they're going to be funny. Oh, interesting. Yeah, especially, you know, on the heels of you being the biggest Bowie Jane fan, I know, I think Lisa is our

[01:44:22] closest Bowie Jane candidate of the season as of right now. Yeah. But the audience, the audiences that they want, you should you should give it to them. They want to go away. You should take her. If the audience is feeling so OK,

[01:44:37] strongly about it, we're taking a vote. I think by the time we get to the vote, I think this podcast is going to be over. OK, I think give the audience what they want. Rob, they're here. They're giving us the likes you give them the pick. All right.

[01:44:48] The audience, what I'm reading from my people. Adam says, please take Brooklyn. We don't want her. Emily says, please don't give us Brooklyn. Message received. OK, that the audience doesn't want Brooklyn. I will I will do it for the audience. OK, Rob, I'll take Brooklyn. What a martyr.

[01:45:22] Yes. Please take Brooklyn. Rob, please help. OK, you got it, Tim. I mean, I prefer Manhattan. We hear for you. Rob is so kind. Thank you, Hannah. We don't want Brooklyn. Thank you. Keep Brooklyn. So I like button. Yeah, you got to give us a like.

[01:45:44] King, thank you, Rob. Rob, save your. Thank you. OK, OK. Rob is the new chosen one. Yes. OK, I have to do it. Crown from a man. Yeah, I have to do it. Let me even bring up a picture of of Brooklyn. I mean, look, you know,

[01:46:07] I guess maybe she did. I mean, she's. She sounds like she watches the show. Yeah, for sure. Well, yeah, I mean, she might have been turned on to it by some friends. Turned on to it by friends. She's, you know, seems physically fit.

[01:46:24] Did you know she's a mom? She's a mom. No. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, please. She's a married mom. That is true. I'm sorry, I didn't clarify. I didn't clarify. That's my bad. Yeah. I mean, yeah, the fact that she is a mom, though, like I said with Angela,

[01:46:38] apparently that's a big deal to a lot of people in the cast. So I could see that going well for her. I thought that she had, you know, some good strategic takes. And she does seem like she wants to play the game and is there to really play.

[01:46:55] So, yeah, I mean, I I don't think it's a bad pick. I think that they're I honestly like put McKenzie down as number 16 on mine because just because I didn't have she didn't give me anything. And I was just so like, she just didn't seem like she cared.

[01:47:11] And I do like that Brooklyn cares about the game. Yeah. So Brooklyn cares. OK. So she's here. She's here to play. She's here to win. OK. Yeah. I mean, I said this yesterday, too, that like I do think that her familiarity with the show

[01:47:30] and and like potentially her strategic approach to the game does have some amount of promise. So actually, like I don't hate the pick. Yeah. Look, I mean, if somebody has to, you know, have the last pick in the draft, you know, I guess I'll

[01:47:48] I guess I'll take Brooklyn. Right. You're enough, Rob. You're celebrating yourself a little too much for this sacrifice that you seem to be OK to make for the for the chat. Puyah, my God. All right, Tim. Got Tim just wants to be featured. Oh, my God.

[01:48:08] Rob, what did you think about her fandom and her calling our lovely Taylor Hale, Taylor Halls heir to the throne of cough drops? Yeah. Look. You know, look, I think she's a fan. Yeah, look, look, listen, listen, Puyah, I'm seeing way more important people screw up

[01:48:34] names way worse these days. OK. The least of our problems. OK, mate. What's what's the better name? Taylor Hall or Cody, California? Cody is iconic. That was great. Yeah. Yeah, OK. All right. Should we take a look at the board here of

[01:49:00] what did we walk away with everybody? OK, let's take a look. Our BB 26 draft. OK, so Melissa has got Tucker, Chelsea and Angela then Amon and Melissa, how are you feeling? I feel good about my picks. I don't know if I'm going to win,

[01:49:25] but I do feel good about rooting for them. I guess. That's your account. Yeah. OK. I got to feel good. All right. Then Amon, you've got T-Core, Rabina and Cedric. I feel pretty solid about my picks. I think that I have like a nice little well rounded team

[01:49:44] and I think there's a lot of potential with all three of them. So I'm excited. OK. Puyah, you've got Quinn, Matt and Leah. Optimistic and nervous. I genuinely couldn't tell you how I feel right now, but I'm keen to see how they do.

[01:50:01] And I did enjoy all of them in some semblance in the watching the preseason stuff. So I'm excited about the team. OK. Taryn, all right. How are you feeling with Kimo, Cam and Mackenzie? My hope is that my team has the most comp wins

[01:50:17] and Kimo is the star of the season. OK. I've got Joseph Rodriguez, the mystery 17th house guest and Brooklyn. Your team is so wild. You're the world. It could be the you could have won the whole thing, depending on how this mystery thing shakes out.

[01:50:36] And if Joey Rodriguez makes it, this is the epitome of Big Brother. OK, we don't know what we have. Exactly. OK. And then the audience gets not one but two players under cover, Cope Kenny and Lisa. I guess we should take a moment and stop down

[01:50:53] to talk about the audience's picks real quick if we could. First, Taryn and I got to talk about Kenny yesterday. But Melissa, I'm on Puyo. Any thoughts on Kenny? OK, so under cover, Cop, not only does he have the Derek hand movements,

[01:51:11] he has the exact same hand movements Derek does. I can't get that out of my head. I was listening to Mike's video on a walk today. And if you lower the tone of voice a little and the speed, he sounds like Derek.

[01:51:26] There's no way they're not going to know he's an undercover cop. There's no way to hide it. Individuals in the house will not recognize that that he is an undercover detective. That is that's just not how it works.

[01:51:38] The minute he says someone is a real piece of work, it's out the window. They're going to know immediately what his business is. Did he say he's going to lie about it? He didn't, I think. Yeah, I don't remember saying but yeah, I mean,

[01:51:52] I don't think he's going to be a part of it. He's a cop. I mean, I feel like if he said that he wants to play like Derek, so I would have imagined that means he's not going to reveal it, you know? I mean, true.

[01:52:02] But really, I mean that between Derek and Kenny, Kenny's makes Derek seem like he's Justin Bieber. Like he makes like a summer of Steve look like that. He is just like a regular guy.

[01:52:22] I really hope he brings a beanie and like tries to tries to do the dressing to please that would be funny. I would enjoy that. Yeah, I feel like I look so I appreciate that he's a fan of the show

[01:52:33] and that he knows the show and that he's excited to play. And I do feel like because he's he his wife is such a big fan that like he's going to really try for her.

[01:52:45] I don't know how he fits in with the whole cast, but I will say once again, people were saying they wanted to work with the older people or whatever that they get along better with the older people. So I do feel like he has a chance.

[01:52:59] And so we'll see what happens. But yeah, that's that those are my thoughts on him. Can we talk about this fan who when asked which former house guest identifies the most with Sam Smith? Yeah, that was a send it. Send it from. I think if you squint.

[01:53:19] Right. Sure. But here's my thing. I feel like typically when people name houseguests, they're either naming like the upper echelon top tier a winner or someone that made it far. Send it, Sam. I believe didn't even make the jury and has not been brought back before,

[01:53:37] has not really been involved in any way with the show before. So to me, it's like you really wanted us to know this is the one. This is your champion. Mm hmm. OK. I just intrigued. There's Kay. Let's let's see if you could pull it off.

[01:53:50] We'll see. Yeah, we'll see. Like good for big brothers just committed to the bit of like we're going to we're going to send another undercover cop into the house. It's going to want more. We are, you know, we worked once. It's going to happen again.

[01:54:04] They should wait a long enough. Cover cops in the same season and then, you know, oops, all undercover cops. Yeah. Oops, cops. Then we have Lisa, who was the other pick could have gone with Lisa Wintrop, the celebrity chef, chef to Paris Hilton.

[01:54:25] So I feel like I didn't get a good read on her because I felt like all of her answers were extremely rehearsed. And that makes sense because, like, I'm sure they asked the same questions throughout the entire casting process and she has to, like, kind of say them

[01:54:38] to every single producer that she talks to or whatever. But it felt like it was all just like reading off a prompter or something. Like it was all these little bits that she had. And like it just I don't know who she is.

[01:54:52] And so I just don't really I couldn't really get a good read on her. I don't really know, you know, how she's going to do in the house or if she has the strategy. I mean, she she mainly talked about just like cooking for people

[01:55:03] and having them really like that, which like can keep you around for like a few weeks or whatever. But I don't feel like that like really gets you ahead in the game. So yeah, I just don't know.

[01:55:15] Yeah, I feel like every draft there's like one player that nobody picks because you just don't really get anything from them in the preseason. And sometimes those players end up to be end up being amazing. Sometimes they don't give anything on the show either.

[01:55:29] Yeah, she's a little bit on the older side, right? She's in her thirties. Thirty three. OK, OK. Actually, I mean, she's much younger than me. But in terms of for Big Brother, I was saying thirty three is old. Or Big Brother, it could be.

[01:55:45] But this cast is pretty decently balanced. I think there's like five or so people older than her. So yeah, but she also doesn't seem to know the show particularly well. I don't think that we're projecting her to have a lot of challenge dominance.

[01:56:03] I mean, maybe I mean, she's not impossible. But yeah, she will say she's like, like, you know, at least like, yeah, is in shape. So you never know. So if you're going off of Lisa and she didn't have particularly exciting answers to the question.

[01:56:19] So you really have to just be projecting that you love the fact that she's a chef. I mean, she's a celebrity chef. It feels like she's just used to being sort of like, you know, in the presence of people that are bigger than her

[01:56:32] and not having a problem with that. So that could potentially serve her well. You know, she might, you know, not be and not have any problem with playing second fitter to someone, which, you know, is not always the worst case. Yeah.

[01:56:47] Hey, you know, she was like, she was like, oh, I'm like so quirky. I mean, look, I have butterfly clips or whatever, which was kind of like, OK, well, is that really that quirky? I don't know. It's just like I feel like she's trying to be really quirky,

[01:57:00] but like I don't know how she actually is. But that's why I'm thinking like it was all like a casting thing. Like she was very much like in casting mode when she answered these questions

[01:57:09] of like, I don't remember what did she she did that one that was like. Like ring, ring hello or like, you know, something like that. Like it was like it was very like these Gen Z kids don't even know what the phone sounds like when it rings.

[01:57:23] I don't remember it was something about like sending, sending me a tweet or something. I don't remember. But yeah, I just feel like it was very much like I'm going to show myself as this like quirky person and instead of actually just like being a quirky

[01:57:37] person. So I don't know. OK. There's Lisa. This house is going to eat her up and show her out. Is how I feel. I feel like she doesn't quite know what she signed up for a little bit here.

[01:57:50] Also, and you know, again, I will say this every draft, I would love to be proven wrong. I'm not sitting here rooting for her demise by any means. What I am rooting for though, I want her to get on slop week one.

[01:58:00] She really doesn't want to be on slop. I think get it done week one. That'll be fun for us. OK. All right. And that's our BB 26 draft. It was a fun one. And so lots of great stuff to be on the lookout for as we kick off

[01:58:16] our coverage starting tomorrow night. We'll be live at 10 15 p.m. Eastern time. And then again, on Thursday night when we see the second night of our two hour move in special one night, Wednesday, one night, Thursday and then hopefully they turn the live feeds on

[01:58:35] after that it's going to be a great season of Big Brother coverage here on our HAP and it's a wonderful time to become part of our amazing patron community in addition to access to the, in my opinion, the greatest reality TV community in the world.

[01:58:53] We've got not one but two exclusive Big Brother patron shows for you on Fridays, Taren and I will be taking your questions live on the BB Q&A around three p.m. Eastern on Fridays. And then on Monday, I will get into all of the nonsense going on

[01:59:10] each week on Big Brother 26 and in the Big Brother community with Chappelle on the slop to great Big Brother exclusives for you when you become a patron of Rob's podcast, Rob's website, a comp slash patron, plenty of other great perks too.

[01:59:40] Melissa, when will we be joined by you again tomorrow? Tomorrow night. OK. All right. Anything else you want to tell people tonight? Nope, nothing else, I guess. I feel like people like thought I thought I had kind of told people

[01:59:59] that I was pregnant, but I guess I didn't. I don't know. Beverly, this is the reveal when we did this whole this whole podcast, this whole podcast. It's crazy. So yeah, I tweeted selling the other day thinking that everybody knew

[02:00:14] and then everyone was like, oh, so this is how you reveal it. And I was like, wait, what? I didn't mean this to be a big reveal, but, you know, whatever, flare for the dramatics or whatever. So yeah, do August 11th. OK, very exciting.

[02:00:27] Melissa, congratulations to you and Dennis. Too bad the timing didn't work out where that the winner of the draft I saw the chat suggesting could name your baby. Yeah, no, thanks. I'm good. You can hold off until the end of this.

[02:00:42] I don't have confidence that I would win that and I would want to make sure I'm the one choosing. So yeah, we can just count Big Brother Canada. You don't like chemo for a boy. Please. I think I'm good. You don't like Brooklyn for a girl.

[02:00:58] I'm OK. Thanks, guys. Thanks for the suggestion. Listen, just hope Rob doesn't win because those are Rob's suggestions. Oh, God. Yeah, I personally Marlboro is a very nice name for a boy. Oh, God. All right. All right. Really projects, you know, a rugged. And a man chapstick situation.

[02:01:18] I am not getting involved in this. I'm not auctioning. It could be the middle name, maybe not the maybe not the first name with the middle name. You know, think about it. Think about it. No names. OK. Permanent. All right. All right.

[02:01:30] See you tomorrow night, Melissa, with three A's and then Amon. What's coming up for you? Yeah, you can follow me everywhere. I'm on Adwin. I will be attending Oz's premiere party in NYC and doing some social media stuff. Oh, that's fun. Yes. Yes. Yes. Really excited.

[02:01:47] So be on the lookout for that tomorrow on, I believe, through our JP's Instagram account. I'll have more information for you later on. I'm actually not sure yet, but I'll be there covering the premiere for all of you guys.

[02:02:00] Also, I started to do a big brother podcast with Matt Logore. We are doing a huge ass big brother bracket where six players enter. Three players come out. The big battle royale of every iteration of North American big brother.

[02:02:14] So Big Brother proper seasons one through eventually 26 after the season concludes before the Canada one through 12, as well as Celebrity and OTT. So we're going to determine who is the best big brother player ever and what does that end up meaning at the end of this

[02:02:29] two year plus journey that we are now embarking on. So lots of really, really exciting guests coming up and you can follow us over there at Diary Room Pcast two year journey. Yeah, I mean, we're only doing one episode per week, so it's going to take some time.

[02:02:44] You might double up here and there for a couple of the weeks. But yeah, it's going to be it's going to be a long, long, long bracket. But we're really excited. It's been very fun so far. OK, all right. Great to have you back here, Amon.

[02:02:57] And nobody brings the drama to Draft Night like you do. And one of these days I'm going to be very, very surgical. No, not today at all. But today is not that day. Sorry. OK. All right. Puya, what's coming up for you?

[02:03:12] Well, I am doing some other podcasts at the moment. We've got the 90 Day Fiancé podcast still going on. Milf Manor is about to end. We're recording the finale this week, so that'll be over. And myself and Shannon have been talking Traders New Zealand,

[02:03:26] which has been a fun endeavor so far. And also, I'm on Twitch. TraderVe slash Puya. That's where I'm on podcasting and we like to cook there. So come check it out. OK. Oh, much like Tucker and Lisa. And me, Tucker and Lisa, great blunt rotation, I would say.

[02:03:44] Wow. Don't you want to be a fly on the wall for that conversation? Oh my God. Oh my God. You'd be the bullied, get bullied. Oh yeah, for sure. Get cooked for from both. For sure, for sure. OK. All right. And then, Taryn, what's next for you?

[02:04:04] Well, personally, I feel like I'd be great at naming Melissa's baby because I came up with a great name for my cat. His name is Callis. And I even in honor of him made this little plushie. This little kitten Callis plushie.

[02:04:21] He's a robot kitten and you can have one of your very own. If you go to my Twitter, I've tweeted out the link to this story. Baby, get order a little Callis plushie, which I'm very excited about. And you can, of course, also find me over on Twitch.

[02:04:39] I will be doing a 24 hour live stream with the live feeds as they kick off. Oh my God. Yes, I will, of course, have to take breaks to record podcasts, but then I'll be back at stream. Wow. To watch the feed. So come hang out with me there.

[02:05:01] Callis will be there. And don't hurt yourself on night one. Listen, it's the best time to it. It's some of the healthiest. Do we know if we're allowed to pause? Can we pause the feeds or no? No. No. Damn. Well, if you pause and you press play,

[02:05:17] it'll just go back to live anyway. You know what I mean? There's no rewinding at all. Or does it or does it like just wait there and then kind of load the rest? There's no button. No, there's now it's just live mute full screen.

[02:05:30] There's nothing else by the looks. Melissa, I think that you can do is if you put your if you put your phone up to the screen and then record a video and then you walk away, you can come back and watch the feeds on your phone.

[02:05:44] I see. OK. Make sure the volume is turned up loud enough. Seems like a lot of work. This is some malarkey as horse doodoo. I'm so upset. Yeah, I know. All right. Someone's got to come up with a solution.

[02:05:58] Yeah, also if you on the feeds are also on Pluto TV, Melissa. And if you get a VCR, you can record the feeds for up to six hours. You're right. Video cassette. What year is it? Call up Joseph. He'll hook you up. They have no pause. Why?

[02:06:21] That's why Joseph Rodriguez is there. You just get out the VCR, Melissa. You'll be all set. The best when you can have hours and hours of footage on just one cassette. That's not a bad idea. Yeah, three or four sets a day. They're probably real cheap.

[02:06:36] It's prime day to everybody who celebrates. You could probably get them for less than 10 cents. Yeah, think about it. Let me see how much can I get a VCR for on Amazon today? So I think they got expensive again. They were cheap.

[02:06:51] Probably like 50 years ago, you could get it for like 39 bucks. But now they love the TV. And that's how they get you. That's how they get you. OK. All right. Of course. Yeah, just make sure you're subscribed because we've got so much big brother coming your way.

[02:07:07] Had a great talking with T-Bird with Jonathan Panner. Talk to Ben from Survivor 46 as well. Chappelle and I talked with Alexander Chester about the Netflix show Receiver on Nothing But Netflix. So a ton of great podcasts all for you at Rob is a website.com.

[02:07:21] Thank you so much for joining us, everybody. Take care. We'll see you tomorrow night for the premiere. A big brother 26. Have a good one. Bye.
