That's now crispy and McCrispy strips meeting creamy Caesar sauce sounds extra crispy caesar sauce at McDonald's for a limited time. Every morning. Daring Armstrong talk. Big brother looking. The stuff from yesterday, all the drama, all the strategy and silliness from veto to hoh every single season, you know he is the reason, you know what's happening. Rob said that he could do it tomorrow. He will do it again. Hello, everyone and good morning. Welcome to our live feed update for August 10th. I'm your host turn Armstrong and I'm here to update you on everything that happened yesterday. The big brother 28 live feeds. It was day 34 in the house and it was. It was kind of not a big day. Kind of not a big day, but it was still some stuff going on and the target is definitely moving around a little bit. So there's plenty to talk about there. And with me to talk about it is Scally. How you doing, Scally?
Brian Scally
Oh, Taryn, I'm so good. It's been so long. I am so excited to be back talking about all the things going on in the big brother house. I've prayed to rocks for many times like these. So we're excited.
Taryn Armstrong
Yes. So we will be talking through the day and hopefully this will go up. It's not. It's not going up on YouTube.
Brian Scally
Okay, hold on, hold on.
Taryn Armstrong
I see a live. I see a live thing. Wait. Okay. Are we here? There it is. I found it. Okay, there's a. There's a little bit of an issue going on, but I think we are up on YouTube. I think we are good. So we will be talking through the day. Give me just a Scally. What were your thoughts on the day?
Brian Scally
Oh, my thoughts? You know, it seemed like it was going to be the calmest of days. There was not a lot going on all day, especially in comparison to the day before. It started out like, all right, might show up here, have a quick little one. But then at least there Were some talks of. Let's just make sure we're sending home the right person. Let's just make sure who this benefits. And then also FAP being fat. So there was at least some stuff.
Taryn Armstrong
Yes, yes, there is some stuff happening, primarily again, surrounding the target because as we know, Lala is the hoh. She has Barrett, Chuck, and Haley on the block. Kamu won the veto. Haley is the intended target, and Camu plans to not use the veto. So Barrett, Chuck, and Haley will be staying on the block. At least that is still the plan by the end of the day. The question is, will Haley remain the primary target or might it shift? And what are people planning to do next week? Are they going to go after the icons? Are they going to go after Taylor and Lala? Are we going to get Kamu targeted? Who knows? We got all kinds of stuff going on. We started the day with D and Devins talking about Taylor and Lala and how they want them out. Dee has been talking about this already and. And it's something that, you know, it's. It's kind of like good instincts from D to recognize that Taylor is becoming a threat to her game. Taylor has pulled in Yash and Camus and is talking about going after the vets. So she's trying to, like, she's talking about as soon as potentially next week nominating Taylor. Lala trying to get Taylor out, and that's. That's not good news for Taylor.
Brian Scally
It's hard. Yeah. Taylor's playing for two, but when that starts to get recognized, that's a problem. And now she's playing, you know, 4, 2, but with 3, 4, 5, like, it's starting to grow and people are recognizing that for Taylor. I'm hoping that this goes kind of okay. I'm rooting for Taylor, but I'm a little nervous now that, you know, Dee and Angela have her in their sights.
Taryn Armstrong
Devin's, meanwhile, is still a little bit, like, looking. I mean, he's been still talking about Drew and how Drew and Melody are still real, real tight. And he's also looking at Barrett. He says, hey, I'm looking closely at Barrett. This guy's really smart. We gotta watch out for him. And he also is looking at Kamu. Kamu, he turned so quickly on his allies. We gotta watch out for that as well. So Devin's got. He's got his head on a swivel.
Brian Scally
Yeah. You know, wait, why were we all so concerned about Lyric turning on her allies? But then none of us are really applying that to Kamu. Who we're all just like now, good with, working with again, the ease in which he threw them. I was never friends with them. What are you talking about? Yeah, that could happen to you too. So I think very interesting that at least someone is starting to. To think in that direction. Yes.
Taryn Armstrong
Taylor and Lala meanwhile are talking about their conversation from the night before where they were talking about targeting the vets as early as next week. And they have actually slowed the role just a little bit. Lala says she's been thinking a lot about it and she thinks Angela and D need to stay until jury. She wants them in the jury. She doesn't want to target Angela or D quite yet. Devin's. You can, you can still go. But she has appreciated how proud he is of her.
Brian Scally
It's very nice. That's all well and good, but like we almost put him up this week. It was definitely a possibility. So it doesn't surprise me that they are then willing. As you know, we talked about last night. I was excited for this all out war between two sides of the house. But if we're starting to pump the brakes anyway, well then like maybe Haley can stay another week. Maybe she could stay.
Taryn Armstrong
Right. So. So they kind of start talking about that and the, the main thing for Taylor and Lala right now is that they decided the night before that they want to keep Chuck in the game and they want to use him to go after the vets. But now when they meant, when they mean the vets, they really, when they say that's, they really mean Devin's not DM or Angela quite. Yeah.
Brian Scally
And Chuck is very much like on board with. He wants to target someone from Red Corner. It just, I don't feel like he has landed on where exactly. He's also potentially wanting to nominate Lyric who's not even here. So it's a little bit confusing in which direction he might go.
Taryn Armstrong
Right. And Chuck is spending, I would say 90% of his time with Haley throughout the day. Like they're not. I mean he does have a conversation with Taylor. I do think it's a decent one. But like if, if Taylor wants to use Chuck as a weapon, she should start, you know, making sure she actually has him as a weapon. D and Angela also talk about targeting Taylor and, and Lala. Taylor is going to win this game if they don't target her. Angela says that Taylor reminds her, especially the alliance she's building of what Chelsea built when Chelsea had, oh no, Cam and Mackenzie. And now that Taylor has pulled in Yash and Kamu she's very worried about this. Yeah.
Brian Scally
Interesting. I don't see the exact one to ones. Like, I'm a little confused as to who's the Mackenzie here, but I. Or, like, is.
Taryn Armstrong
I don't think either of them are a Mackenzie or a Cam.
Brian Scally
Yeah, Yeah, I agree. The one to one is a little confusing. So I don't know if I fully see that. I definitely know that players talk about, like, the winner of their season all the time and, like, try to often, like, model their games, but I'm definitely a bit confused. So.
Taryn Armstrong
Yeah. Yeah. So Kamu, in the meantime, really. So I'm just. I'm. I'm going to sort of listen. There's not a lot to talk about, but we still don't need to subject ourselves to a lot of Haley, Chuck, Kamu conversations. Basically, Kamu spends the day talking about why he's not using the veto. Chuck spends the day being annoyed that he's not using the veto. Haley spends the day saying, I'm basically Janelle. And you kind of get the whole vibe Camus just doing his thing where he's trying to come up with as many excuses as possible to. To, like, not use it. Like, oh, well, it's, you know, Devin's Mike, somebody might go up that I'm close to. It's going to be bad for my game. And, you know, Haley, she. When she was hoh, she kept Mallory safe. When Mallory was coming after all of us, she made a deal for herself. You know, we can't forget that. And. And so, you know, so on and so forth. Chuck says that to Haley, and Haley's like, what the hell? Like, I can't believe he's bringing that up. And. And Haley, I wasn't exaggerating or misquoting. She did say I'm basically Janelle because of how people are treating her. And it's. It's. So. It's. It's actually kind of funny to me because usually people are like, I'm the tailor. I guess good that she didn't say I'm the Taylor. But also funny that she thinks she's the Janelle.
Brian Scally
Mm. They have one or two things in common. They're both women. They both played big brother. They, you know, so there's some. Some things.
Taryn Armstrong
Yeah. Taylor, in the meantime, talks to Drew, Mallory and Melody and has a pretty impactful conversation with them where, you know, she's hanging out. She. I think so, again, just to reset the table, just to make sure everybody continues to sort of see where things are at. I'VE been talking about this for a little while. I'm sure we'll talk about it more tonight on the round table. But the house is really divided up into little pockets now and this is much more familiar with in comparison to like what we've seen in the past couple of seasons with the Blockbuster, where these structures don't really have. They're very shaky, they don't have good foundation. And what we end up with is just like a pocket of little groups of people. We have fap, which is the two couples, Barrett and Mallory, Drew and Melody. We have the trio in power right now, Lala, Yash and Taylor. Really? Lala and Yash or, sorry, Lala and Taylor and then Yash is like attached to them right now, but Yash is definitely the kind of player that will detach if he needs to. Kamu is technically in that group, but he is also working closely with the trio of the Vets. Of course, you know who the Vets are and that's kind of the layout of the house with Chuck and Haley being these like, like thrown out little pieces because their group has been demolished because Kamu abandoned them and one of them is likely leaving this week. So because of that, this is how everyone sort of sees the house and it's all fairly out in the open. One of the few things that is not as out in the open is how closely the Vets are still linked to fap. The, their connection to not only Barrett, which is a little more obvious, but even Drew. They saw Barrett and Drew as middle players for a while, but they really feel like Barrett and Drew have now kind of like landed firmly with fap. People are asking, what does FAP stand for? That is actually a question on the table nowadays. We'll talk about that later tonight. And so, so because this is the, the layout of the house, Taylor sees this and is thinking about, you know, sort of comma's initial, initial pitch was, which was why don't we like pull in Drew and essentially FAP to go against the icons. Now he's backed off of that plan because he'd rather work with D and Devins and Angela because Dee told him about her power and really like got him back in. But Taylor is not on board with that idea. She would rather try to still pull in, I think Drew and, and Barrett and Mallory and Melody. And so she's talking to them about, about the icons and mentions, just kind of just mentions, you know, there's only four people that haven't been nominated in this house. Three of Them are icons, and one of them is Kamu. And. And just trying to, like, drop some seeds here. Pretty clearly talking about how, like. And they talk about, like, Rachel wasn't nominated last season and, oh, look, the icons aren't being nominated this season. And so the idea, I think here is let's try to start to pull these people in this direction. But there's another thing happening here as well, which is that because the house is divided into all of these little pockets, each one of these pockets is. Is realizing, well, what should we do with these extra pieces, Haley and Chuck? Because Haley's doing this thing over here and Chuck's doing this thing. So, like, Taylor and Lala are like, let's pull Chuck in. We'll use him as. As a weapon. But other people have less of a relationship with Chuck. And so there's kind of thinking, well, what if we pulled Haley in or just kind of, like, left her there for other people to deal with because, you know, they're not. Haley's not somebody I have to deal with. She's somebody that Taylor and Lala have to deal with. So this is where all of the sort of strategic thinking and maneuvering is happening. But the important part here is that Taylor says this thing to Drew, Melody and Mallory, and it's dangerous to speak out against the vets in front of Drew.
Brian Scally
Drew's got a loud mouth. I know that people specifically in one direction, I would say especially, but yeah, I know that people love a split house. I personally kind of love a split, split, split house where it's like multiple different sides. It could switch from one week to the next depending on who wins, depending on who which side is gaining too much power. And I feel like we are in that direction right now. So that's so fun. As Taylor and Kamu are, like, struggling to reunite the sides of their house that previously existed while just also bringing in, like, a couple extra numbers. I'm glad that that is kind of butting heads a little bit. And neither are just immediately giving in. So I think that's all well and good. It's also interesting how everyone is just, like, discussing the options of, like, oh, like, if we keep Haley, if we keep Chuck, and, like, really not considering, like, oh, there's a blockbuster. And we should probably figure out, like, most of these scenarios rather than just the all three of them are there.
Taryn Armstrong
Well, I think. I think it's actually because right now we will get one scenario later. But, like, right now, the only scenario really worth talking about is Barrett winning the blockbuster you have the choice between Haley and Chuck because in every other scenario, Haley or Chuck won the blockbuster and you don't have a choice if you're planning to keep Barrett. So I think that's kind of the idea there.
Brian Scally
Makes sense there. I think, like, the scenario of, okay, Barrett doesn't win the blockbuster and the other person stays. Maybe you don't have to talk about, like, who are we going to keep? Because we know Barrett's here. But, like, okay, if that happens, what do we do?
Taryn Armstrong
Right? So. So Taylor. So, by the way, Taylor doing this, I think is, again, it's dangerous in front of Drew, but it does land for Melody and Mallory. Maybe not quite in the way Taylor wanted it to, but it certainly does land because they finished their punishment. Finally, they can put clothes on.
Brian Scally
So nice that Melody and Mallory can go to just hanging out with each other 247 in clothes now.
Taryn Armstrong
Yes. Yeah.

Taryn Armstrong
Hear that? That's now crispy at McCrispy strips meeting. Creamy Caesar sauce sounds extra crispy caesar sauce at McDonald's for a limited time. They get talking about Kamu. Taylor named four people that had never been nominated and. And Melody and Mallory are like, interesting. Kamu, right? Kamu was not nominated and they've been skeptical about Kamu. They've been skeptical. Skeptical about the idea that he was not nominated this week. He was supposed to be nominated this week.
Brian Scally
Week.
Taryn Armstrong
Everyone was. Everyone knew he was supposed to be nominated this week, and then all of a sudden it didn't happen. And they assume he made a deal with Taylor and Lala, which of course he did. And so that's dangerous. And he's the most dangerous one of himself, Haley or Chuck. He's, he's. He bailed on working with Haley and Chuck just like that. He's smarter than them. He. He's winning all of these competitions. I mean, this guy is probably the most dangerous person in the house. Mallory says, well, I wouldn't vote for him to win. I don't care. I'd be bitter. He's too arrogant. I don't like him.
Brian Scally
I do love someone who's just, like, honest about their bitter bitterness. Like, just, if you're gonna be bitter, just tell me and like, that's fine.
Taryn Armstrong
I'll accept it, pretty much. They. They do they talk to Barrett about, like, what if we targeted Kamu next week? I think that could be the play. And this is obviously, you know, Kamu did great work to pull himself out of that rut that he was in. But. But he's still being looked at for sure here, especially by Melody and Mallory. Melody maybe on her way to getting a power next week. Mallory still a good competitor to watch out for. So Kamu not quite out of all of the hot water just yet. In the meantime, Angela indeed start talking. And Angela has been thinking. There's been a lot of talk about making up with Haley, and she still loves you on a personal level and, and all of this stuff. And I. And I think part of it's kind of started to get to Angela. She says she's. She's been thinking, what if. What if they evict Chuck over Haley? And this is what we've been talking about. Of course, if Barrett wins the blockbuster and it's a choice between Chuck or Haley, what if they evicted Haley? And it's not even just that either, because Angela still doesn't know for sure that Kamu's not going to use the veto. And what if he does use the veto? What if he uses it on Haley? Would that be so bad? I don't know. Because then Haley would be safe. We evict Chuck. I think we could pull Haley back in. And people hate Haley. They'll continue to hate Haley. Chuck might blend back in like Chuck. People don't hate Chuck as much. And, and again, like, Taylor and Lala are already talking about trying to pull Chuck in and use him against the vets. D says she wants to talk to Devins about it, but she Tells the cameras, like, oh, I don't know, we might need to chill on this. Like, we've already flipped one vote. I don't know if we should be flipping another. But then they talk again a little bit later and they do agree that Haley is better for their games. They just don't feel comfortable initiating the flip. And I've, I've heard this before last week and then what happened? So keep this in mind. This is definitely something that they will be thinking about throughout the week.
Brian Scally
Yeah, I mean, you know, sure. Did Haley scream at Angela? Scream at Haley, you know, and basically blackout, like, maybe. But I think there already is a, like, basis of a relationship there that's a lot easier to repair than a build from scratch with Chuck, but, like, do most of the work to pull him in, whereas at least there was something there with Haley. So I don't think this is a bad move by any means for them. It's definitely in their interest.
Taryn Armstrong
Right. So it's something that they're going to be thinking about. They're probably, they're going to be talking to Devin's about it. Like, it's going to be on their minds. But they're not the only ones that are thinking. Melody and Mallory, as they still continue to talk about Kamu, are also talking about also potentially, like, what if we did. What if we kept Haley? You know, like, I think it makes a little less sense for them, but not necessarily because Chuck is anti them as well. And it's, it's really just like, who, who really even knows what's going on with, with Chuck? I mean, they don't really talk to either one of them. But what they don't like is that they, as they continue to talk about Kamu, they also don't like Angela, like, bigging him up about the tea party. She's like, oh, he was so. He was so good and composed at the tea party. Like, yeah, he got to, he got to rehearse. He put Jason on the defense. Like, what do you mean? Why are you complimenting Kamu? Like, what are we doing here, Angela? And so, you know, in their minds, it would probably be like Kamu and Angela on the block if they were to win something or, or something along those lines. And maybe like Kamu, Angela, Haley or Chuck, who knows? But I, this was just like, I needed this for my soul.
Brian Scally
I think to be fair, it would be quite hypocritical for Angela to hold rehearsing a big speech to the house against someone. So I think that might be like A little bit of, like, self coping on, like, oh, this is so cool. This is cool when someone does this.
Taryn Armstrong
Yeah, that's fair.
Ad
That's fair.
Taryn Armstrong
Now, last night on the recap, we talked about the wall and how we expected D to do a little better because, or at least I, you know, she's got those toes. You know what I mean? And, and you know what? D in her toes got to come up at one point in a season that she's on because I don't know how else to say it, but her and Yash licked each other's toes.
Brian Scally
Yeah. I didn't expect D to get toe mogged by someone in the house, but Yash has some big, big toes and was putting them on full display, putting them up for licks, whether it be himself, D, anyone else. It was open it.
Taryn Armstrong
It just kind of happens. You know what I mean? They're just like, hey, what would you do if I touched your knee with my toe? I'd lick it. Oh, do it, do it. And then it happened. Like, Look, I think he's got something. I, I like one thing. One time, it's like, okay. Two time, I'm like, okay, it was a thing last time. Three time, D's got something with toes.
Brian Scally
I definitely do think there's something there. There's a lot of toes for the big brother house at the same time. Taryn, we both watched Love island this summer. This was very light play for Toes on, like, network television at this point.
Taryn Armstrong
Oh, boy. I don't need to remind. Be reminded of that. All right, so Taylor and Lala have their own conversation about what they might want to do. Now we know they want Haley out. That is not changing. But Taylor does have a thought. What happens if Haley wins the blockbuster and it's Barrett versus Chuck? I feel like I'd kind of want Barrett gone, get rid of and keep Chuck. And, and initially, Lalo was like, no, no, no, no. I want Haley gone. And Taylor's a no, no. Haley wins the blockbuster between Chuck and Barrett. Barrett should go. And lala's like, oh, I got you. I got you that. Ah, I like that. I, I, that makes sense. I get that idea. So Taylor and Lala looking to potentially take out Barrett over Chuck. This obviously could make sense for their games theoretically, but is is definitely very dangerous for them to, to, to push because they're already on some thin ice. And I'm about to talk to you about Adi and Kamu conversation. I think that if they try to push a Barrett eviction, that could be the thing that loses Kamu, which is. Which is not going to be good for them if that happens. Or maybe, I don't know, maybe not. But, like, it's. It's interesting. I think they have to be very careful with it. I think there's a world where this can work, but. But it really requires not allowing the vets. I mean, this is again where like this could have worked potentially if, if they hadn't lost, comma. But quite frankly, if you look at this board, even without. Even with or without Kamu, you can't really get Barrett out without the vets because you don't have fap. If you don't have fap, then you need the vets. You've got Haley, you could, you could. You've got Yashin. Taylor, you could try to get Kamu. And if you have Kamu, great. But that's only four votes. You need the vets in order to make this happen, and that's probably not happening. And probably just gives the vets all the dirt they need on you to dump on FAP to then be like, hey, Taylor's trying to get out Barrett. And just like that, you've got. You've got the whole house turned against you. So dangerous stuff. If they wanted bear it out, they could still make that happen or make something close to it happen. It's again, it's like, I don't think they recognize how much power they hold right now. Not with the votes, but with the hoh. If you, if you want to keep Chuck, take him off the block. Ka Mu wants to do what you want him to do at this moment, once the veto ceremony is over, you lose your power. So if you want to keep Chuck, pull him off, put Drew up on the block, then either Haley leaves or she wins the blockbuster and you do manage to take out one of Drew or Barrett, that could make some sense. Or you could even just throw a vet up. Now, if you're looking to take out Devin's, you'd ha. You'd force him to use the diamond power of veto. He probably would put up Taylor. And they recognize that there's a chance because they know he has a power that something like that could happen. Obviously, that would not be good. We know, but it's still a thought, you know, it's still a thought we're thinking about.
Brian Scally
Yeah, definitely a thought worth thinking about. Like the thought exercise of getting Barrett out of here might actually not be so bad for our game. Like, good thought campaigning for that with the current nominees, like, bad thought I think that really got to count out those numbers first and see who is going to even be semi realistic. And sure, sure, like changing one nom could help it become not completely impossible, but I still think it is probably too tall of a task. I don't know even what the correct set of nominations could have have even been. To get Barrett out.
Taryn Armstrong
To get Barrett out is tough just because he's not really seen as a threat. But Barrett versus Drew would be. Would be a very decent setup to, to potentially get rid of Barrett just because they're seen somewhat equivalently like Drew is a bigger competitor only because he won one blockbuster but, but in some ways that makes him more valuable to keep around and Drew is seen a little bit more closely with the vets and so that's a reason to potentially get rid of him. So you know, there's, there's all kinds of different ways you can go about it, but Barrett really isn't even a great target for them to begin with. Like if they want to damage the vets games, Barrett's not the best person to take out. He's not winning anything really. If anything at this point, it's Kamu that they should have tried to take out because Kaomu is benefiting the vets more than anyone right now. Now that these pulled him back in, they couldn't have taken out Karma. He won this veto. So maybe Drew is actually the next next best shot. So which means, you know, taking Chuck off the block. But again, they have too many problems. The problem is that they also have to deal with Haley who is now very against them and, and had been varying against them. So like they, they just had too many enemies. And I don't hate targeting Haley and I don't hate leaving the vets off the table for now and I certainly don't hate what they were trying to do pulling in Yash and Kamu. The problem is, and I keep coming back to this, that Kamu went and blabbed to D because D was able to get Kamu back on board and Kamu told D all about his thing with Taylor and Lala and Yash and that tipped the off to the fact that Taylor and Lala were bigger threats than she thought before. So it's unfortunate but, but that's kind of what they've stepped into. Taylor and Lala also have another conversation a little bit later where they talk at length about just how messy this people are and they never clean up after themselves. And I loved this conversation. It was very funny and also very Like. Like, they're completely right. These people are ridiculous.
Brian Scally
They definitely are completely right. I mean, I'm thinking back to people, like, purposefully putting a towel behind a toilet to piss.
Taryn Armstrong
Dirty shirt from the wall competition is still sitting there in the backyard untouched. Like, he's just left it there. Like, how does that even happen?
Brian Scally
Yeah, that's bad. Because, look, I can be. I like to say I'm a little bit messy. I'm not dirty. And for me, leaving a wall comp shirt for that long is verging on dirty. So, yeah, like, I'm. I'm not liking it.
Taryn Armstrong
And then they're like. Like, occasionally somebody will see them cleaning and be like, oh, do you need help? And it's like, what? Do I need help? Like, it takes me cleaning, you seeing me cleaning to offer to have me direct you to go do something like. Like, really? Really. So I. I enjoyed. I enjoyed that conversation. So Drew has a conversation with D. They're just kind of hanging out, talking, chilling. And Drew brings up, like, yeah, isn't it weird that the only people that haven't been nominated are. Are the vets and Kamu? And he's like, whoa, don't say that. He's like, oh, I haven't been. In fact, I didn't even think of it until Taylor said it. She's the one saying it. And Dee's like, oh, interesting.
Brian Scally
Yeah, good save, honestly, because
Taryn Armstrong
I don't
Brian Scally
think you want to otherwise point out that it's something even on your mind unless you're doing something about it. So unfortunate for Taylor there. Like we said, maybe don't talk to Drew about the vets, because it's what happens.
Taryn Armstrong
It is what happens.

That's now crispy and McCrispy strips meeting creamy Caesar sauce sounds extra crispy caesar sauce at McDonald's for a limited time. D obviously already anti Taylor and people are Drew will never. This was good for Drew. Should absolutely be riding sailor out here. Keep Dee and Angela focused on Taylor so that they don't come paranoia back around to him at some point. But. But D takes this and she's already been skeptical of Taylor, but now she feels like, oh, this is not something that really matters as much to me that, oh, Taylor's talking about me. Taylor also mentioned Kamu in that group. So Dee goes basically straight to Kamu and she's. She has a conversation with him that is very clearly aimed at trying to separate Kamu away from Taylor as much as possible. She lets Kamu know that Taylor's going around saying that there's only four people that have never been nominated and Kamu is one of them. That, that she's worried about Taylor and she's worried about that whole situation. And I don't think it's still fully landing with Kamu yet. I think he still feels pretty good with those people. But you can tell that D is going to continue to try to work this as much as possible. And given the success she's had before, you would anticipate that she's probably going to be more successful at turning Kamu to her side than Taylor will be successful at turning Kamo to her side, primarily because Taylor's not working nearly as hard as D right now on Kamu himself. And again, we have some past experience of knowing that D is very effective at manipulating Kamu. That said, D has also been caught manipulating Kamu in the past, which is going to give her a little bit of a debuff. But they continue to talk and these other primary thing that she tries to keep Camus aware of is like, we need each other. Like you need us. You need the vets just as much as we need you because you are a big target and we are big targets. You don't. And the sort of the obviously like the implication here is you don't want to work with Taylor and Lala and Yash who are not big targets because you are the biggest target in that group. They're already pointing that out by telling everyone that you are not, you have never been nominated, unlike them. And so who you. You do want to work with long term is us, the vets, the other big dogs, the other targets, the heavy hitters. And that, I think, appeals more to how Kamu sees himself as well. So that's how D is working on Kamu here. We'll see how effective it is moving forward.
Brian Scally
Yeah, being the biggest target in a group of four down at the end game, that sounds great. Being the biggest target, working with a group of four at final 12 is a little scarier of a position to be in. So I do think it's a good appeal. I think that ultimately I'm really looking at Common was going to. Whoever wins next week, I think maybe he could lean a certain direction, but I don't think he's fully cutting off either option.
Taryn Armstrong
Yes. Yeah, he is not. He is not cutting off either option. But. But D is basically in this conversation, by the way, letting him know that she basically plans to nominate Taylor asap. She says she doesn't want to get into, like, an official thing with Taylor because she wants Taylor and Lala as options for nominations. So. So part of keeping his options open would be not telling Taylor this. This is obviously very incriminating information for. For Taylor to know. While she does plan to go against the vets, she is keeping D and Angela off of that table for now and. And kind of mostly targeting Devin's and. And it's again, it's kind of like this hesitation, this like, half step that I think is really hurting Taylor and Lala potentially moving forward. They are in power right now and they're not taking the shot. They're thinking about maybe taking the shot at one of them next week, but they're not in power next week unless Taylor specifically wins this hoh or maybe Yash. And so, you know, they're just. They're not moving quite as quickly as they might need to here. And we will. We will see how that works out for them. In the meantime, FAP is fapping. They. They're. They're holding a ceremony. It's a rock ceremony. That is true, yes. And. And they. They want to make sure that. That they. That everything goes as well as possible. So they. They gather their rocks and their almonds and Mallory leads it. Big brother House and our magic rocks, our Jordan almond. We are asking for an abundance of prosperity, protection from evil, for Camus to not use the veto and for the FAP to make it to jury. We trust your plan. But we need some help. Please look after FAP and take us to the end. Now think really hard and hum.
Ad
All right, pass it to your left.
Brian Scally
The fappening is coming. Yes. I love this. I just, like, they're being silly. They're in the backyard. They're not gonna, like, overplay this week. And yeah, I'm enjoying the foursome. I am. It's silly. It's fun. Like, you want them to say that Mallory, like, that she invented a religion called, like, malism and was crucified on the pipes and I'm not supposed to enjoy it and laugh.
Taryn Armstrong
Yes, yes. Apparently he says in the chat that all. All comments, including fap, are needing manual approval. They're getting auto flagged. Hmm.
Brian Scally
That might be happening in the diary room too.
Taryn Armstrong
So they do. Now listen, the original meaning of FAP was fuck ass people, and that was directed at the cool kids. Then they were like, where the fuck ass people? We're fap now that FAP is becoming more of an actual thing. They're like, ok, maybe we should come up with a different meaning for them. They didn't think, let's come up with a different, like, acronym or name. No, no, FAP is here to stay. But maybe different words behind the acronym. So they're trying to brainstorm. They're like four and proud for average people, for amazing people.
Brian Scally
Okay. Okay. I'm still wondering if they will allow them to be. Call themselves FAP constantly, all season. I'm hoping, like, I really just. I really hope, but. And I think that often they like a dirty diary room. They like a little, Little bit of a joke, but I don't know. Very excited.
Taryn Armstrong
I'm curious for the American people. I've seen them thrown around in there, though. I don't know.
Brian Scally
Yeah, you know what? It's. It's good for campaigning to get into that. Get a little time machine. Yeah, why not?
Taryn Armstrong
I think, listen, with that as their name, maybe they can pull gamu. So they also talk about potentially keeping Chuck over Haley. This idea has just sprouted all over the house. All over the house. This idea has been sprouting. So they talk about it. It's an idea. Drew and Melody talk later in the night by themselves about just like, who they might nominate. Talking about, like, potential nominations, a little bit of a disagreement over the direction that they would go in. But. But for the most part, like, sort of like mostly on the same page. It's all very speculative at this point, so who really knows? But. But I guess pretty interesting in terms of, you Know, again, I think Melody currently in the lead in terms of like the online polls that I have seen for getting the power from the online fan base. We know the online fan base had at least some amount of say in the Mallory vote. Not that she wouldn't have gotten the casual vote either, but I think that like, like now that there aren't like major, major people who are being pushed both in the edit and because they have prior fan bases, the online fan base might have a little more push and so they seem to have gotten behind Melody. And Melody also seems like somebody like Mallory who is probably going to get a push from the edit and from the casual fan base as well. She's going to be in costume doing the punishment with Mallory, who we already know got a vote on Wednesday's episode. She's very funny in the diary room. She's part of this, like, bird, this showmancy thing that's going on. So Melody potentially getting a power next week, who she wants to potentially nominate matters a little bit more. Although, you know, it's not like the powers are really that great except for the coin anyway.
Brian Scally
Yeah, yeah. So, God, if Melody walks out of the diary room in a unitard, I'm gonna scream. I can't do a terr. I can't do it.
Taryn Armstrong
Yeah, listen, the odds are back to even, at least for if they're random. Mallory said she tried to time it and she just failed. Obviously Devin's and D were able to time it, but. But Mallory was not. Mallory had worse odds though, so that was true.
Brian Scally
You know, we will see. We will see. I either way, very excited. I've definitely seen like screenshots of like. Here's what the comments are saying too. So it seems like Melody at least is like a very well known player on the show. It doesn't seem like all of the talk of how bad Haley's time is has been. Has encouraged a Haley vote that I've seen.
Taryn Armstrong
So I do still think Taylor could be in it with a chance as well. She did win the BB Badass on Unlocked and she is also very funny in the diary room. She will also likely have some good screen time this week being so close to Lala. So, you know, there's. There's definitely a possibility there as well. So who knows? But either way, that's really roughly what's been going on. There are lots of seeds of things being planted, but. But no real movement yet. The major thing for me is how many people are talking about Haley staying and all of this kind of like future Kamu fights and vets versus Taylor and all of this stuff.
Brian Scally
Yeah, it's that thing where like the week has been decided since like three minutes after someone won hoh. So we just move on to talking about what if that's not actually what we did because she's basically gone already. What if we just talk about next week instead. So like that's all very exciting. It's just is going to be ramping up as the week comes to a close.
Taryn Armstrong
Yes. Anything else you wanted to bring up from yesterday, Scally?
Brian Scally
No, I think I'm good. I think we got to all the important things. I'll be, you know, praying rock in hand that this goes well for me.
Taryn Armstrong
All right, well everyone get your own rocks out, pass them to the left and hum.

Hosts: Taran Armstrong & Brian Scally
Recorded: August 10, 2026
Live Feed Day: 34
In this live feed update, Taran Armstrong and Brian Scally break down everything that went down on Day 34 inside the Big Brother 28 house. Although it was a relatively calm day by BB28 standards, the duo dissects the constantly shifting alliances, debates on who should be targeted this week, and the growing prospect of another vote flip. The hosts also provide humor, insider perspectives, and shed light on the latest “FAP” shenanigans and the house’s polarization into ever-smaller “pockets” of power.
Taran (03:28):
“Haley is the intended target, and Kamu plans to not use the veto… At least that is still the plan by the end of the day. The question is, will Haley remain the primary target, or might it shift?”
Scally (04:58):
“Taylor’s playing for two, but when that starts to get recognized, that’s a problem. Now she’s playing, you know, 4, 2, but with 3, 4, 5—it’s starting to grow and people are recognizing that...I’m rooting for Taylor, but I’m a little nervous now that Dee and Angela have her in their sights.”
Taran (12:12):
“The house is really divided up into little pockets now … These structures don’t really have good foundation. And what we end up with is just, like, a pocket of little groups.”
Taran (15:44):
“It’s dangerous to speak out against the vets in front of Drew.”
Scally (15:44):
“Drew’s got a loud mouth...maybe don’t talk to Drew about the vets, because it’s what happens.”
Scally (22:43):
“Did Haley scream at Angela? Scream at Haley, you know, and basically blackout? Like, maybe. But... there’s already a basis of a relationship there that’s easier to repair than build from scratch with Chuck.”
Taran (39:00):
“Dee is going to continue to try to work this … given the success she’s had before, you would anticipate that she’s probably going to be more successful at turning Kamu to her side than Taylor will be.”
FAP Ceremony: The alliance holds a mock “rock ceremony” for luck and unity, brainstorming new meanings for their risqué name.
Memorable Quotes:
Toe Licking Incident: Dee and Yash engage in unexpected toe-licking, becoming a running “light play” joke for the hosts.
Messy House Guests: Taylor and Lala vent their frustration about the house’s filth and the reluctance of others to help clean.
On the game shifting:
“I kind of love a split, split, split house where it could switch from one week to the next depending on who wins…”
— Scally (15:44)
On failed vote-flips:
“We’ve already flipped one vote. I don’t know if we should be flipping another.”
— Dee via Taran (21:58)
On Chuck & Haley’s Wildcard Status:
“It’s really just like, who, who really even knows what’s going on with Chuck?... They don’t really talk to either one of them.”
— Taran (23:12)
On Kamu’s Dilemma:
“You are a big target and we are big targets...You want to work with long-term is us, the vets, the other big dogs.”
— Taran (38:14 paraphrasing Dee)
FAP’s origins:
“The original meaning of FAP was fuck ass people, and that was directed at the cool kids. Then they were like, we’re the fuck ass people. We’re FAP now...”
— Taran (43:25)
This summary should provide a robust overview of the episode for anyone who missed the live feed update, highlighting all critical gameplay shifts, scheming, and the Big Brother fun that keeps fans tuning in.
