Host (J. Armstrong)
the drama, all the strategy and silliness from VO to HOH every single season, you know he is the reason, you know what's happening, 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 July 13th. I'm your host J. Armstrong and I'm here to update you on everything that happened yesterday. The Big Brother 28 live feeds. It was day six in the house and there is a We already have the veto winner. There's a lot of talk about the replacement nominee who might be the target and some more solidification of alliances and structures and such. And with me to talk through it all. Scally. How you doing, Sky?
- [02:54]
Brian Scally
Ooh, Taran.
- [02:54]
Host (J. Armstrong)
I am good.
- [02:55]
Brian Scally
I have been closed off with Love island for the summer, but luckily I joked about if a hot new bombshell came in the whole time. So I'm free to explore. I'm ready for this new season of Big Brother.
- [03:08]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yes. Yes. And plenty to talk about today. Again, I'm gonna say like The. The structure of things feels so much more solid than it has in the past couple of seasons with these vets in charge. But there is some stuff to talk about, of course. D, the HOH nominated Mallory, Taylor and Yash. We've now seen that in the episode. We now can put a name to the alliance that Dee has with Devin's Angela, Drew and Barrett.
- [03:39]
Brian Scally
The crossovers, you know, great. Oh, yes, because you two are from Survivor and Angela's from Big Brother and we are also here.
- [03:52]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yeah. Is it just me? I feel like, you know, obviously the idea behind the crossovers was the name of it was similar to the Crossroads where it's like, crossover from Survivor to Big Brother, but I keep hearing it as, like, death. You know what I mean? When people, like, cross over into a. You know, like the.
- [04:16]
Brian Scally
Yes, yes. Okay. Well, you know, hopefully not too soon will they be crossing over into the outside world.
- [04:25]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Anyway, with Mallory, Taylor and Yash on the block, me. Mallory won the veto, which meant a replacement nominee was going to have to be named. The night before, we finally heard from D that she's thinking about Ashley as the replacement nominee. This is primarily because Ashley is in the final grouping, so to speak, from the premier competition. Because Ashley and Barrett both failed the Enzo competition, they did not compete with the other three groups. He's already nominated one from each group, and that leaves Barrett and Ashley as the final remaining theoretical group that could be nominated. Of course, that's not actually strictly true because if you want to be real precise, the vets themselves could be considered a group potentially. But. But hey, hey, you know, obviously she's not going to nominate Barrett, so Ashley is the remaining potential nominee here. That's where we left off yesterday in the update, at the very least. And then we. We kind of kicked off the feeds with D continuing to think along those lines. Now, there was some talk of pitching Melody because Melody had gotten some heat for trying to distance herself from Mallory. She's not super well liked in the house, and people like Yash and Taylor and Lala had talked about how Melody on the block is probably better for them than Ashley on the block in terms of votes. And as far as we're able to tell in this current situation. Yeah, yeah, that's probably true. So there was this idea that there might be a pitch, a push for Melody. However, that pretty quickly went away. Early in the morning, D had all had started talking to Taylor and basically was telling her, like, yeah, I'm down for what you were pitching earlier because Taylor was one of the early pitchers of Ashley. I'm thinking about the Ashley move. It makes sense because she's in the final group and. And Taylor doesn't even really bother to pitch Melody at that point because Ashley is kind of like what she wanted in the first place. All she really wants from D is her, like, official endorsement of like. Like Taylor has the D endorsement to stay against anybody that she sits next to.
- [07:08]
Brian Scally
Yeah. Which is, you know, I will take that from Taylor, given how much she's been telling everyone else that she doesn't want to inconvenience them at all, that, oh, no, you don't have to campaign for me. Oh, no, you don't have to. I wouldn't even want to ask this person to. For their vote. It might inconvenience them. So I'm glad that at least Taylor is a. Let's get the official endorsement here from D. Yes.
- [07:31]
Host (J. Armstrong)
And this is going to be pretty much the line that Taylor's going to use. Well, not the endorsement line, but the, The. The line of argument or. Or ask that Taylor's going to try to have for everyone she talks to throughout the day. There's a lot of campaigning throughout the day from Taylor and later from Ashley. We'll talk about that. Not as much from Yash. You know, he's going to know what he's doing.
- [08:00]
Brian Scally
What is he too. Yeah, I think Yash really just blockbuster strategy coming in hot. He won't be on the block. Why does he need to.
- [08:10]
Host (J. Armstrong)
I say all of that? Yash, probably the most amount that he did was in the morning. We'll get to that very shortly. But. But basically Devin's joins. This conversation between D and Taylor and, And Taylor immediately is just like Devin's.
- [08:27]
Brian Scally
You're.
- [08:27]
Host (J. Armstrong)
You're a vote for me, right? He's like, yeah, I want you to stay. She's like, yeah, but you're going to vote for me in like any scenario. Right? And he's like, any sin. I mean, I'm. I. Yeah, I mean, I want, I want. I definitely don't want to see you go. And she's like, well, listen, it's not going to be a scenario you don't like, just like any. But any scenario.
- [08:50]
Brian Scally
Yeah. Even if you're on the block. Can you promise me your vote? You think it's interesting? I do worry that Taylor is a little bit like, then checking people off the list after these, you know, coerced promises of like, all right, well, got Rick. Don't even need to talk to him anymore. So a little worried on Taylor they're hoping to see continued efforts throughout the week.
- [09:11]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yes. And so this is like. Like I said, this is basically the way that Ashley's gonna. Or the Taylor's gonna pitch about Ashley to. To pretty much everyone she talks to. It's. It's very much like, hey, are you a vote for me, guaranteed? Give me the promise now.
- [09:29]
Announcer
And.
- [09:31]
Host (J. Armstrong)
And again, I don't, like, completely hate it. It's maybe a little forward sometimes, but as we know, sort of like getting a promise out of people early, it can be pretty valuable because they don't. People don't like breaking promises if they don't have to. And. And Taylor's getting ahead of the. The campaign that Ashley might be able to put up and certainly getting ahead of the Yash stuff. We'll talk a little bit more about what she's doing when campaigning against Yash as well. So Yash is going to do what he's doing at this point to. To. I mean, it's not really a campaign, so to speak. It's more like, well, I'm still probably good, so let's start building alliances. He. He talks to Rome about building an alliance, and it's a pretty awkward conversation. And clearly based on how Rome is going to talk to D later, Rome was not really into it, but he pitches this alliance to Rome where it's like two of them and. And Taylor, because he had talked to Taylor about it and Lala and Barrett and. And maybe one other person. I don't remember who I've named, but. But the. But the point being Lyric not included in this grouping of people. And Rome was like, well, I would want Lyric in the alliance. And. Because, remember, Rome and Lyric, they are a couple. And Yash was like, oh, well, yeah, I mean, we. We don't need to include her in, like, the main thing, but, like, she can be kind of like, on the outskirts of it or something. And. And Rome is like, no, I don't like that. I would. I would rather be on the outskirts myself and have her in the core so that she's protected.
- [11:30]
Brian Scally
And Yasha's still like, no, no, we need you, Lyric. We don't really need her. So it's like just this man is trying to sacrifice his own position for her already in the alliance. Like, just hear that and be like, yeah, let's definitely float this by everyone. Like, even though, yeah, I'm making an alliance that includes at least the one other person that's currently on the block with me, but this could have been good for Yash. It could have been good for Rome. Low key. But I think if Yash had just taken the hint and, like, tried to include Lyric here somewhere, then this would have been a lot better.
- [12:05]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yeah. And, and genuinely, that is like, you know, like, what's, what's happening here. Like, Rome is like, I, I, he's like, oh, I, we need you in the core, though. Rome, we need you. He's like, well, I, I just really. And then so eventually Ash is like, oh, no, I mean, yeah, Lyric can totally be in the core too. That I just worded it wrong. That was on. That's on me. I was just saying it wrong. And you're totally right that you lyric of course would be in the core of this alliance. And so, you know, there's all right that we got this. And, and Yash is like, and bro, this is how it works. Like, the cookout alliance was never in the same room until final six, so we don't even need to get in the same room. And, and of course, because Barrett is included in this alliance, they will need to start pitching to D that Ashley should be the renom, not Barrett because they're all thinking the same thing, that one of Barrett or Ashley might be the renom. And Rome is like, you know, you, you probably shouldn't be pitching who's going to be the replacement considering you're, you know, on the block yourself. And Yash is like, oh, yeah, yeah, that's probably. That's probably true. That's probably true.
- [13:24]
Brian Scally
Yeah. Or at least if he was pitching someone that would be good for him to sit next to on the block. That would be great.
- [13:29]
Host (J. Armstrong)
So. So as I said, Taylor's gonna campaign throughout most of the day, really, so we won't go through like every one of those conversations. But rest assured, she is doing the work. Devins and Kamu are gonna have an interesting conversation that we hadn't really seen Devin's interact as much with the red corner as D prior to this day. And, and of course, we learn in the episode that he was, you know, a. A core part of it, but Kamu is really like hitching Devin's on their relationship and the connection they have. And I'm like, wow, Devin's is actually like, really in here. In fact, Kamu basically tells Devin he's, you know, implies to him that he's his number one in the game and that he certainly is the priority over D. And I think this is possibly true, though I do think that Kamu is more in lockstep with Chuck and Haley than he is specifically with Devins. I think this is some smoke being blown here for Devins, but I do kind of believe that it might be true for. In terms of him protecting Devin's over D specifically because there's a lot of talk about the gender imbalance throughout the day that Kamu is certainly aware of. There are nine women and eight men, and that's something that Camus is aware of. In addition to that, you know, at the end of the day, D did not fully, you know, adhere to common suggestions when it came to the nominations and everything. And I don't think that he recognizes that she's, like, going rogue and doing her own thing, but I think he perhaps thinks that, like, she just doesn't quite land on the same page as him and doesn't quite understand as much, whereas Devin's is more sort of like, easy to talk to.
- [15:41]
Brian Scally
But.
- [15:41]
Host (J. Armstrong)
But all that said, this is, again, I believe, comic blowing smoke for. For Devins more so than anything. Either way, though, you know, Devin's is like, this is so great. I love this. This is like the connection I've always had in my Survivor games. Devin's very much playing up his side of things as well.
- [16:01]
Brian Scally
Yeah, exactly. I think that for Kamu, blowing smoke, problem is, does Rick buy it even? Does Rick, you know, put so much stock in. I think very happy to have these potential targets in front of him. I think that that is a big part of what Rick wants to be doing here. So he's going to nod and say yes, but is Rick investing the same way into this relationship? I'm not so sure.
- [16:28]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yes. So Drew and Barrett have a brief conversation. Drew is still on his parachute trip. Basically, the more he's been thinking about Melody and the potential parachute alliance strategy, the more he's into it. And I'm with him on this, like, absolutely. This is what you all should be doing. He pitches to Barrett. He says, hey, I. I feel like this parachute alliance is really good. Parachute idea is really good. I've got Melody, so, you know, I think we should all have a person. And Barrett says that he thinks Mallory could be his person. We haven't seen a ton of interaction between Mallory and Barrett, but we do know that Mallory really likes and trusts Barrett because she wanted to pick him for to play in the veto for her. So obviously, Mallory would be an incredibly valuable parachute alliance for not only Barrett himself, but for the alliance as a whole, considering she's one of the few people who's actively targeting D. And somebody's asking the chat what is a parachute alliance. As, as Drew explained to Devins the day before, if you recall, in the cookout, they each had like a person. The brigade actually might be a simpler way of explaining this because the cookout more so had parachute groups than sort of a specific parachute person. Although the crossovers are in some ways a hybrid of that. Drew's getting Mallory, but D and Devin's both kind of have the entirety of the red corner as their parachute. And, and yes, for what it's worth, parachute, I believe, spawned from the brigade terminology and is not something that I think the. The cookout used themselves. Either way, though, the. The. The point is that if you have an alliance, a secret alliance, each one of you essentially grabs your own public number one. So Drew and Melody become a public duo and Drew and Mallory become a public duo. And nobody knows that Drew and. And Barrett are actually super tight and closer to each other than their public number ones. And what this allows them to do is that if, if you want to put Drew on the block, you obviously think I'm putting Drew and Melody on
- [19:14]
Brian Scally
the block
- [19:16]
Host (J. Armstrong)
or Barrett and Mallory, and then the rest of the alliance saves you over your parachute. It helps you in that sense while also giving you the ability to influence your parachutes in a way that's like, hey, the whole crossover alliance wants to go one way without looking like they're a big group going that way, making it just look like it's what the house is doing. And, and so Drew can influence Melody and Barrett can influence Mallory. And now all of a sudden, all of these individual pockets of people are all thinking the same thing and, oops, it's just the way the house is going.

- [21:57]
Host (J. Armstrong)
So it's a very, very effective strategy. Yeah, the cookout terminology was their plus one. Yes, that's what it was. So that's what Drew is proposing. Barrett says Mallory makes a lot of sense and Drew's like, perfect, you be to Mallory what I am to Melody.
- [22:16]
Commercial Voice
So.
- [22:17]
Host (J. Armstrong)
And. And this is a good, good idea. Yeah.
- [22:20]
Brian Scally
Having a parachute like person is great. I always think the terminology is kind of funny if you're calling it like your parachute alliance to your main alliance, because it's like, yeah, if I have to, this thing blows up. Like, at least I got my parachute alliance back there that I can float down to safety. But I think it is definitely more so, like you said, like, no, no, they are the parachute. They will be saving you in case you are falling. They're the one that gets voted out. Also not terrible for them to be having a backup strategy. I feel like, especially for Drew and Barrett being aligned with, you know, maybe a three that is more incentivized to stick together, maybe a three that is a little more public, etc. Like the melody Mallory. Oh, what do you know? Maybe there's a third person there that they might be associated with that you could pick up pretty decently. I don't think that would be terrible for them to have parachute members who also get along.
- [23:09]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yes, yes, for sure. So Jason, who we know is the. You know, I said Mallory is like one of the few People actively targeting D. But Jason is by far the most dangerous person to the crossovers because his primary focus has been on specifically Devin's, Angela and D. And he is going to continue to, to, to try to make that happen. He's going to Lyric. Jason is close with Lyric, he's close with Rome, he's close with Lala. And he's pitching to Lyric that, that Angela and Devin are super tight. You cannot believe that they're not working together. I completely caught Angela trying to soften me up on Devin's and I, I believe I told you about this conversation yesterday that you know, Angela was talking about. They were all talking about like how D and Devins don't understand the game. And Angela was specifically calling out like, oh, Devin's doesn't understand either. And Jason was like, I think he's understands more than he lets on. And so he caught that Angela was specifically trying to include Devins in the doesn't understand the game conversation. And then he says later Devins came up to him talking about how like he really likes him. And he felt like that meant that Angela was giving him a heads up that Jason was, you know, correcting the record, that he thinks Devin's knows more than what's going on. He's very, very suspicious of these players and he's going to be doing his best to pitch to Lyric and later. True. We'll talk about it. That, that they should be going essentially going after them at the very least, you know, keeping close watch.
- [25:02]
Brian Scally
Yeah, a little bit tough for Angela. I do feel like they definitely have a good relationship, but I do think this is a blind spot for her where she is not super aware of Jason being pretty anti returning anti Rick Devins and clocking that she is doing this. I think Angela much more thinks that, oh, you know, Jason just looks at me as a mama bear. We're good.
- [25:24]
Host (J. Armstrong)
I don't know. Yeah, it's, it's, it's interesting how much Jason has been pushing this and how little it's gotten back to the vets yet. I think the fact that Jason is safe this week has been a massive boon for him. And, and for what it's worth, I think that that that time period of him, of it not getting back to the vets is, is very likely going to run out very, very shortly. Angela has a relatively brief conversation with Mallory. If you recall, Mallory has been upset about being put on the block. She's been crying or had been crying, uh, here and there up until she won the veto, basically, uh, And Angela was probably the person that really stepped in and comforted her the most and had been a big supporter of Mallory even before she won the veto, unlike Mallory's supposed friends who wanted to distance themselves from her. And so Angela's swooping in here and talking to Mallory about, like, hey, we should work together. Like. Like, let's. Are we gonna. Are we gonna do this? Are we gonna work? Let's do it. Let's do it.
- [26:45]
Brian Scally
I love you.
- [26:46]
Host (J. Armstrong)
I love you. So. So Angela herself also picking up Mallory as a potential ally here. It's very funny because this means that, like, a good portion of the crossovers are, like, Mallory's closest allies and her biggest enemy is D. Yep, yep, yep, yep.
- [27:08]
Brian Scally
Yeah. Mallory has gotten significantly more popular. I think there's just at least a couple people who are much more willing to look at Mallory and actually, like, entertain these conversations. I was getting a little worried about her, and I was definitely thinking more Lisa trajectory than Ashley from last year's trajectory. But I am not quite so sure that Mallory is just, like, guaranteed to go up and out again next week.
- [27:38]
Host (J. Armstrong)
I mean, at the end of the day, Mallory is, I think, more valuable than dangerous to this group at the moment, because, again, now she's so connected to so many of them that it feels relatively easy to influence her into a direction that you need her to go. And ultimately, even though she is targeting D, she's also targeting Haley and Camu, although that might soften a little bit, but still, like, that grouping in general, you know, she's not going to put up, you know, multiple people from the crossovers. So that. That's kind of fine that she's. That she might put up D in a spot like that, especially if you can just talk her out of putting up D. Like, you'd be like, oh, let's not put up D right away. Let's focus on Chuck, Kamu, Haley first, and then maybe as a replacement or something along. Like, there's so many ways to get around this because she has enough targets that it's not that big of a deal. And. And. And she's also, like, because she was so isolated from her previous group, like, she's got nobody else now, so they. They. I mean, I. I'm not gonna continue to hammer on Melody's isolation of Mallory. I'll do it one more time when. When Mallory talks about it later, but. Such a mistake. Such a mistake.
- [29:04]
Brian Scally
Yeah. Not great. And I feel bad, like, I was encouraged by Melody's early, like, attempting to play the game. I Was like, yes, I do think it is probably harder to teach someone how to integrate socially into a house they're already not integrated in than it is to teach someone how to pick up the game. But I was encouraged by, like, okay, Melody. She's a little bit of a gamer. She's definitely, like, trying to put something together, trying to make the right attempts. It's just. I don't know if I trust that those attempts are the right attempts in any of the cases.
- [29:35]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yes. Drew continues his campaign to the crossovers that they should all be picking up parachutes. He tells them about how he's got Melody. He tells them about his conversation with Barrett and how he says he's going to pick up Mallory, which I think is. Was probably interesting to. For Angela to hear, considering her conversation she just had with Mallory. Angela actually perhaps smartly says, oh, I'm. I've. Don't worry, I've already done it. I've recruited my people. Doesn't really tell them who, probably because one of them is Mallory. Devin's, though, volunteers. He says, oh, well, I had an interesting conversation with Rome last night. This is the conversation, of course, we've talked about before, that Devin's was pitching to Rome. Hey, we're both big threats. We should look out for each other. And so Devin's feels like maybe that's somebody he could. He could gather up. I don't think Devin's fully understood the assignment when it came to what a parachute would be, because it's not like Devin's in Rome are gonna become a public duo. But, you know, he's either deflecting like Angela was, or he genuinely is like, oh, well, this is a person that maybe could fit the bill.
- [30:53]
Brian Scally
Yeah, I understand how he can get confused. But, yeah, even though there are three nominees, like, think that when you try to target Devin's, you are thinking like, okay, well, let me put up Rome and Lyric. Or like, he's just not that third person even in the group. He's not. Definitely not the second person that people think of with Rome.
- [31:14]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Really. If. If you wanted to make Rome your parachute, you would. You would make yourself a. Like, a throuple with him. And Lyric would be the idea.
- [31:22]
Brian Scally
I would love to see the strategy.
- [31:30]
Host (J. Armstrong)
So Dee finally has her conversation with Ashley and basically lets Ashley know that she is going with the logic of it's Ashley or Barrett, and she's leaning toward putting Ashley on the block as a complete pawn, not the target. And the reason being that just like, there are more people that seem to Be pushing Ashley for the nomination of Barrett, and she, you know, is sort of subject to the house will. Ashley is surprised by this. She's like, wait, Barrett has more connections than me since when? And fights back pretty hard. I'll give Ashley credit. She did not take this lying down. I think she's been a bit too quiet to this point. But this is really going to activate her for sure. She does not just accept that she pushes back. Unfortunately for her, a lot of her pushback is, why not Barrett? It should be Barrett. And you know, that's dangerous considering Barrett is one of these closest allies. And she doesn't realize it, but. But she's trying. She's doing her best. And it does not really go anywhere, though.
- [32:46]
Brian Scally
I think that she's probably gonna be okay there. Even though Ashley and Barrett had, like, a little bit of a connection, even though ash pretty good with everyone socially, she hasn't been playing making those game relationships yet. And the way that Dee has been so openly framing it as well, it has to be Ashley or Barrett. I think that most people are able to write this off as, like, well, Ashley is campaigning for the only other person she thinks is an option. It's not like she picked Barrett out of everyone available. So kind of where Dee is getting away with that, I think that Ashley is benefiting slightly as well. Where otherwise I would say the Ashley Barrett relationship would be in a lot more trouble.
- [33:23]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yes, I agree. I mean, I think that, like, this is a. Like, a classic mistake for sure. Just. Just like baseline to. To actively try to pitch for somebody else as a potential. Like the. It's. It's pretty rare for somebody who might go up on the block to be able to insert a name into the conversation unless you have specific, specific information about them. You can't just be like, well, wouldn't it make more sense to nominate person X? It's just giving people ammunition to use against you. But you're correct. In this instance, it is being framed as specifically you or them. Doesn't quite change the fact that it's still doing some damage. And it might be enough damage to sink her, but. But for the most part, it's fine. The better target was actually, you know, Haley, which she does land on as well. She doesn't actively pitch for Haley to go on the block necessarily because she believes in the logic. But she does manage to, like, actually get some true bonding time with D by talking smack about Haley, who we. We do learn that Dee does hate despite being in an alliance with. And it's Again, it's a spot where, like, man, this might have worked if Dee wasn't in a fake alliance with Haley and it would blow up her spot to put Haley on the block. Which just again, kind of goes to show that, like, Ashley is just late to the party here. All of the other options are already in structures that Dee has helped create and Ashley's not because she's not been super active game wise. And so ultimately, despite all of the pushback, it's pretty clear that D is going to be putting her on the block. And DE advises her, like, hey, genuinely, like, I'd get out there and start campaigning.
- [35:18]
Brian Scally
The thing is, I think that Ashley obviously did not benefit from, like, some of the house guests not being eligible to be nominated because they're safe this week. And so there's much less options in that some of them are returning players. So D doesn't want to put them up in that. She played the game too slowly. Obviously, I think it would be better for Ashley not to go on the block, but if she was going to continue to play at this pace for the next two to three weeks, I think she would just find herself here anyway. I almost just rather that she gets this kick in the pants where she is now actively starting to play a lot more.
- [35:55]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yeah, so. So Ashley does get right to work pretty much. Now that she knows she's going up on the block, she. She grab Melody and I. I think this is a budding actual duo as well if Ashley survives the week. Ashley and Melody had already talked about trying to create an alliance and it didn't really go anywhere. But I think that outside of Drew, Ashley is probably the person Melody is. Is feeling closest to at the moment. You know, lyric going off with Rome. She distanced herself from Mallory and so it's not, you know, the best news that Ashley's going on the block, but it's certainly better for Melody considering she was a pretty heavy option prior to this. But they talk and Ashley says she thinks it's going to be her basically, and she doesn't quite understand why it's not Barrett and. And how Barrett has more connections than she does. But it is what it is. She's hoping for Melody's support because she's genuinely a supporter of Melodies. Melody agrees that she's a supporter of Ashley and will be helping campaign for her. I don't think Melody has much sway in this house, if any, but. But that's one person. What's interesting about this in particular is that they both. Melody even more so than Ashley I think. But they both still have some awareness of what they should be doing and what they could be doing. And Melody is really like, yeah, I just can't help but think that I'm just playing really poorly. I don't. I just feel like I'm not doing well and I don't know how to change it. It's. It's like she knows what she should like what is what good gameplay is. She knows that she didn't. She was like, I wanted to be included in a big alliance early on and it didn't happen and I trying to start one but I can't. And I'm like trying to talk more game with people but it's not landing and it's just like I know all of the rules of what to be doing but none of it's work. I don't know how to, to, to do it and I recognize that I'm not doing it. I feel like I'm just screwing up. And Ashley's like, same girl, let's go on the block. So very funny conversation between the two of them here. But, but yeah, so ultimately Melody agrees. She's, she's an ally of Ashley's and we'll try to keep her safe.
- [38:30]
Brian Scally
And I think that Ashley and Melody could come together and be like, like almost a complete player. Like Ashley's got the social pretty down. Melody at least is thinking about the game a lot more openly. I think that they can be as close ish as they want right now. I do worry how Melody is going to associate herself with Ashley after Ashley does in fact hit the block. Does she start distancing herself there? But that remains to be seen.
- [38:57]
Host (J. Armstrong)
It does, it does. Ash is going to continue to do some campaigning of her own. Haley ends up joining that conversation and you know, all kinds of stuff going on there. But, but Ashley again, she gets, she gets to work. We'll talk about some of the more interesting uh, campaign conversations she has. Um, Haley ends up talking to D after De's conversation with Ashley and if you recall from the night before, Haley, Chuck and Kamu had kind of agreed and Devin's was there as well that, that they might start trying to pitch Lala as the replacement because, because, because she's close with Rome and that would be like a shot across the bow at Rome. And so Haley comes up, she pitches this idea to Dee that they maybe that D should put up Lala and he's like, oh wow, that's an interesting idea. I mean I have already kind of talked to Ashley about this thing and, you know, the group idea. But, like, yeah, that's something worth considering. And then Haley's like, cool, cool, cool. And then Haley leaves and D looks at the cameras and it's like, what. What is. What is this game? What is happening here? She says, this game is crazy. Do these people think I'm stupid? They actually think I'm so stupid. It's so fun. Idiots.
- [40:36]
Brian Scally
Yeah. Haley and a good amount of Big Brother fans for the first one or two days of feeds. So I do think that, you know, D very clearly showing, like, this is a strategy. She's playing it up and is, I think, also more likely to take this as like, wow, it is insulting how stupid she thinks that I am because she hates Haley. So also going to be even more insulting.
- [41:04]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yes, yes. So. So, yes. D not into the idea of La LA going up on the block. Kamu and Lyric have a bit of a chat, a bit of a bonding session. Not sure it will go anywh, but, you know, just wanted to bring it up because Camus and Rome are a bit at odds, obviously, but. But I want to make sure I'm pointing out that Lyric is not just like. Like when I'm talking about where things stand with Rome. Lyric is not necessarily in that same boat. Lyric has her own relationships and. And. And is not nearly as much of a target as Rome is now. That could end up backfiring to some degree. Like it still. She still could, like, take a stray shot that. That goes at Rome. But nobody's really looking specifically at Lyric or necessarily at the two of them as a duo, if anything like Lyrics. Moderate popularity in the house is part of why people are looking more so at Rome and Lala as the duo with Lala as the target over somebody like Lyric. But that could change as the relationship deepens and the PDA escalates. If that is gonna happen. But. But for now, Lyric is. Is in an okay spot despite the. The connection to Rome right now.
- [42:41]
Brian Scally
I was definitely worried for Lyric in saying that she already was going to be throwing the final speech to tell everyone to vote for Rome in day two of the game. So that was definitely concerning there. But I am encouraged that she is actually, like, going out making more relationships. Not so closely associating, at least attempting to distance herself from him at times. I do worry the most, I think, for Lyric in if people decide to put up her in Rome, that people could decide Rome is still a good shield to be keeping around. And what do you know, Lyric might actually be A good person to take a shot at here, but not currently looking like, the more likely to be targeted.
- [43:24]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yes. Somebody pointing on the chat that the. The D. Ashley conversation was pretty funny because Ashley kept saying, like, so I'm a pawn. And he's like, no, no, you're not. You're not a pawn. That's not. Barrett goes and has a conversation with D. And they. They just kind of like debrief about the day.
- [43:52]
Announcer
And.
- [43:52]
Host (J. Armstrong)
And we were talking about this last night. There's a little bit of flirtation happening here. Now that said D has flirtation with a lot of people that she talks to, and Barrett, I would say, is not quite as flirtatious to everyone. But we also have now seen that, like, Barrett in the episode said, oh, yeah, definitely, like dream, dreamboat. So, you know, there was some flirtation happening. Some. Some hand holding, ish stuff. But, you know, I don't know if we need to necessarily take it serious at this point, but. But it was happening. They do agree that despite the initial plan of putting Ashley on the block as a pure pawn who would not go home, that they might actually prefer Ashley to go over Taylor because Barrett in particular feels better about Taylor than he does Ashley, which is a little surprising because we thought we had. He had a decent relationship with Ashley, but I do genuinely think he's a little annoyed hearing about how hard Ashley was pushing for why not Barrett shouldn't be Barrett. And so. So they're doing that. And while they're doing that, they are. They're touching kneecaps.
- [45:12]
Brian Scally
Yeah. Barrett does, you know, at points refer to this openly, at least to us as like, wow, I can't believe I'm in a flirt mance with D from Survivor. So it's definitely on his mind. At the same time, you have, like, later in the night where Rome, like, is going to give, like, a tender kiss on Barrett's forehead of, like, goodbye and then, like, offer a business handshake to Lyric to try not to stir up anything there publicly. But I think that Barrett is a little bit flirty. I am not yet on showmance watch, but it is definitely an interesting relationship to keep track of.
- [45:49]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yes. So also interesting, of course, that the target may be shifting on to Ashley if she is up against Taylor. This is probably one of the more interesting votes votes at the moment. Yash mostly pretty clear as the consensus target if he stays on the block at the moment, although there's a little complication there as well. But Ashley versus Taylor could certainly be a little bit interesting. Drew Has a conversation with Kamu. Kamu continuing to do some rounds here. Kamu is such an interesting player in that if he were in the position he thought he was, he'd be very good and effective and, like, you can see what he's doing. The problem is that he's playing, like, in the snow globe that D. And Devin set up for him, and. And he's playing in that snow globe pretty well. You know, the problem is it's. It's snow globe. So he talks with Drew about, like, being boys voice, you know, like, and he brings up the gender imbalance and. And, you know, hey, like, I. I think we should, you know, link up Drew and that. We're, you know, we're. We, We. We. We're good with each other and also kind of campaigning a little bit about, like, the Yash situation. There's going to be more conversations that Kamu has with Chuck later about Yash, but, like, he's starting to feel like because of the gender imbalance, maybe they don't want Yash to go. Drew, though, is kind of giving him that sense of like, yeah, might be tough, though, you know, because there are more women. They're probably going to vote out Yash. You know, the house is probably gonna be in that direction. It might be tough to try to save him. Like, obviously I would want to too, potentially. But, yeah, I don't know if we'll have the votes for it. And so we'll see where this goes. Because, you know, again, there's a lot of different people who think they have a lot of power, and finding out they don't is what might happen if they're. If the vote doesn't go the way they want.
- [48:00]
Brian Scally
Yeah, there's just too many women that have votes. Never mind that one woman will be on the block without a vote and one woman will be the hoh. But we totally could not do that. Yeah, I think that common, like, attempting to do good work, but I would almost. I think I would definitely rather someone who is like, a little less insulated but has a clear picture on the game. Whereas Kamu is doing theoretical good work, but it's just theoretical because there's really not. He can't see the outside pictures. He doesn't know what to be doing.
- [48:33]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yeah, yeah. Drew, though, continues to talk. He goes and talks with Melody and he actually encourages her. Again, he's like, you know, you should really just like, solidify things with this trio. Like, if they're gonna talk about the tree, you might as well have the actual Alliance. But Melody's still not really into the idea. She doesn't even feel that close with Lyric anymore. In fact, the person she feels best with is Ashley. But now she's going to be going up on the block. She really does want to save Ashley. And so Drew again is gonna have to be like, yeah, totally, if we can.
- [49:14]
Brian Scally
Yeah, totally. And it's just would be so great of like, what do you think about keeping Ashley as kind of your parachute alliance, Melody? But no, no, no, no, no. Like, let's not go ahead and make anything there. Let's not prop up anyone else as a bigger target. Sure, why not?
- [49:31]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Parachute ception Rome has a conversation with the very interesting one where he lets her know about Yash's alliance proposal from earlier in the day and what Yash was up to. So a clear indication that Rome is not really on board with any of that. She is telling him about how Haley came up trying to pitch Lala as the replacement nominee. Now, now this is interesting in that it for sure helps stoke the flames between these two groups, which is very necessary for the crossovers ultimately. Just to make sure this is clear, the crossover alliance of the vets plus Barrett and Drew are basically puppeteering a war between the red corner alliance, Kamu, Haley, Chuck and what will soon be known as Mama's Angels. But the Rome kind of side of things, which is Rome, Lala, Jason and whoever else is under their sphere of influence versus the, you know, whoever else is under the red corner sphere of influence. And so the more that they can be at odds, the better. And so D letting Rome know that Haley wants wants Lala on the block specifically to kind of like mess with Rome is is good to help stoke those flames. However, I will say this feels a little risky to me in terms of dropping this information in the way that it's being dropped. It's going to and ha and will very quickly get out that Haley is now pushing Lala as a renom and if it gets out that D is the one that leaked this to Rome, that could be a pretty big red flag for the red corner. So we'll see where that goes. Right now it's working fine. And, and in general the red corner are loose lipped enough that it doesn't necessarily have to come out that he said it but. But this, this I did think was a little bit risky and I think it in part came from Dee's just distaste for Haley in general and wanting to dish on her, which does not give me a lot of hope for the longevity of this fake structure with the red corner that Dee might eventually have to be bailed out from it in some capacity. But we'll see.
- [52:03]
Brian Scally
I don't think that it has to come out that Dee said this. The thing is, I could see how De would potentially believe like, this is so great. Rome is telling me all this information. He trusts me. And though I do think she should be able to recognize that Rome is telling her lots of information that's not necessarily good for him to be telling her all the time. He's very loose lipped with information and I just don't think really even thinks about what is good information to be sharing. He's one of the more interesting players to me in that front. And then I think he's like pretty good socially. He is like probably out kicking his coverage in terms of what a lot of people thought that he was going to be doing in this house. But I don't think that he knows what he's doing in this house by any means. So I definitely can see Rome sharing that. It's just a matter of does he share it with people that are not going to let it get back to Haley?
- [52:55]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yes. Yes. So he does pitch Haley as a potential replacement nominee, but you know, obviously that's not going to happen. Kamu and Chuck do have a conversation about who they would like to take out now that it's pretty much locked in that Ashley's going up on the block. They both agree that Ashley is, is not worth taking out this week. It just, it would be a wasted shot. But they also think that Yash could be useful to them as, as a shield, as a target in front of them, as somebody who will win competitions and not come after them because they're kind of, they're kind of boys. And so by default that kind of leaves Taylor as their primary ideal target. And, and so that's what they are kind of feeling. Later in the night they're gonna talk to Haley about this, but Haley is more on the side of wanting to take Ashley out and they get into a bit of a disagreement about it and Devin's actually has to come in and be like, guys, chill. You're doing too much. And so there's still not really full consensus amongst the red corner themselves over what they might be looking to do. And this is where again, I think that like the crossovers are in a very, very strong position and there is still some level of like, some lack of, of like, knowledge in terms of like, how to most effectively use this position. I'm not going to fault them for it because this is like deep knowledge and they're all relative rookies to playing Big Brother and the kinds of things that you can do with this. But like they should ideally be trying to use their position right now, especially since there's a lack of consensus within the red corner themselves to really lock in and decide who they want to sit, keep and to go and then influence their, their groupings so that the house does have a consensus and that nobody realizes that what they wanted to have happen didn't happen. So the sooner they can get on that, I think the better though there's still theoretically plenty of time. You just don't want like Kamu and, and Chuck and Haley to fully lock in on a logic that says we definitely need to keep Yash, we definitely need to take out Taylor and then feel like with amongst the crossovers you're like actually we feel differently and now we have to like, like manage how we're gonna do the vote so that they don't realize that we are going in this direction. So you know, it's, it's, it's just, it's a bit all over the place here, but we'll see how it goes.
- [55:44]
Brian Scally
You would say it would be surprising for someone like Haley who thinks that this game is making promises and then never breaking them to be such an over gamer in anyone's eyes. And you would think that maybe Rick was. Would be okay with the perception that they're really over gaming. Well, because I want to use them as targets anyway. So over gaming that keeps them in the spotlight. That's all great. But it's even still too much like you guys will be too obvious where does the target disappear and or like you said, do they over game so much that they are unmanageable to that point?
- [56:18]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yes. And sorry. I think by the time they have the conversation with Ashley or sorry with, with Haley, it had actually flipped and Haley was the one saying she wanted to keep Ashley. The, the problem is it's so confusing the way they're talking about it because they're like. So what happened was they initially were like oh, Haley's Ashley is a waste of a vote. But then they started going off about like this argument of like, well, you know, would you rather have somebody who's like fully like act, you know, is against you? Would you rather take out a wild card that could do anything and it's just like it's, it's a, again, it's a bunch of nonsense. It's it's like it doesn't like, quite matter yet because there's no consensus. But. But once they find consensus, that's when it's really, I think, going to be a tough position, I think, for. For the crossovers. So as we continue on through the day, Barrett does talk to Devins about how he would like for Taylor to stay over Ashley, and Devins agrees with this. So Barrett really pushing this idea that he wants Taylor to stay, Ashley to go over Taylor. Obviously, Josh still the primary target. And this continues to make headway. Dee's already agreed. Now Devins is agreeing as well. Ashley is going to campaign to Chuck and. And this is why I think part of why there's a little bit of a shift that happens from one conversation to the other. But Chuck seems like into this idea of potentially working with Ashley. Ashley also campaigns to Angela and Angela tells her that, hey, you can trust me. I've got you. Angela, I believe at this point still under the assumption that Ashley is staying this week. Week. So this is a potential mismatch in terms of motivation for the crossovers, though I don't think Angela is like, super, super invested here. So we'll see what happens there. And then finally we get to Jason, Lala and Rome. So Rome lets them know what's going on with his. What went on with his conversation with.
- [58:42]
Brian Scally
With.
- [58:43]
Host (J. Armstrong)
With. With D about how Haley is pitching for Lala to go up on the block. And they're all pissed about this about Haley, and they want Haley gone. And they officially come together and make the alliance the Mama's Angels. Lala, Jason and Rome. And so this is, you know, theoretically the core of the opposing side to the red corner. With the caveat that Jason is still more. Slightly more focused on the vets themselves, which is the theoretically better grouping to be targeting. But. But we'll see.
- [59:28]
Brian Scally
Yeah, you know, full with their own, you know, little hand movement and everything, which is surprising. You might think that the red corner would also have. But I think that it was certainly interesting. It definitely worked out out in where it gets floated again of like. Oh, and we all really like Lyric, right? Like, yeah, yeah, we all like Lyric. Like, okay, well, that's why this is gonna work.
- [59:48]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yeah. Jason, also, this is just a little bit of a side plot through the day is that Jason wants to, like, bake Devin's like a cake or like some cupcakes or something to help convince him that he's not. Not after him or anything. And so he's gonna, like, secretly prepare this thing. And then Rome ends up telling Devin's ahead of time and ruining the surprise. And it was funny.
- [60:20]
Brian Scally
It was definitely funny because it kind of becomes like a little bit more of like Rome's moment where Devin gets emotional. It's like just very overwhelmed at the idea. And like, it's just so sweet. Like I wasn't expecting it. And then it's like Rome, who gets this big hug out of it, it's like, well, well, Jason's the one doing this. Even though he hates you and you don't know that he is the one doing this.
- [60:45]
Host (J. Armstrong)
So Chuck and Kamu continue to discuss plans for the future. They've been flirting with the idea of recruiting Angela into their side of the house. And this is the conversation. Night one, not. Not night one, night, night four. But the first night of feeds, we saw Angela talk to D about how she felt that she's being recruited into the. We. We now know it's called the red corner, but that they were not telling her that D or Devins was included in this alliance. And that's going to hold relatively true here. That they want to approach Angela and officially invite her into the alliance of the three of them to make like a fourth. So they're the. Chuck is going to go ahead and do this. That. That they're going to invite. Chuck is going to invite Angela to work with himself. Himself and Haley. And then like, oh, and Kamu's pretty cool too. Not really revealing the Endeavons involvement. Yeah.
- [61:51]
Brian Scally
Oh, you guys, we could pull in Angela. There's this thing called a parachute alliance. No, I think that the way that you land on recruiting all three of the reality TV icons but pretend like they're not going to be telling each other that you've recruited all three of them is an interesting strategy. I think a little bit of the lack of awareness coming through.
- [62:16]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yeah. So Angela's been. Been ready for this and so she, you know, acts appropriately excited and everything. And ultimately this is just more good stuff. She's now connected to this group. They're less likely to try to target her in some capacity. It's one less person for D and Devin's to have to stick their neck out for to protect like they have been with. With Barrett. So this is working out pretty well. Angela does go back also and have a conversation with D again where they talk more about what's going on. And D lets her know about like Haley pitching lala. And Angela is like, what? Oh my God. And. And he talks about how much she hates Haley and And this was very intriguing. Angela starts talking about somebody that she doesn't feel super great about, somebody that is reminding her of Quinn. He's talking a lot. He's kind of sketchy. He's kind of young and enthusiastic. She's feeling a little sus on Drew, and that's a problem because Drew is in the core crossovers alliance and knows everything about everything they're doing, pretty much. So keep an eye on this one. The Angela Drew connection is clearly the weak point in this power structure.
- [63:48]
Brian Scally
Yeah, you know, D offers up. I hate Haley. She hates Chuck. And Angela says, I got you one better. You know, Drew in our alliance pants. I don't know about that one. I don't know about. I'm keeping an eye. He does not bring back information. He is talking to everybody in the house. Angela's definitely on him. I feel like D Is agreeing along, at least here.
- [64:10]
Host (J. Armstrong)
He's like, we should. Let's keep an eye on him.
- [64:13]
Brian Scally
Yeah, exactly.
- [64:14]
Host (J. Armstrong)
We can't do anything about it right now because he's too involved, but let's keep an eye out.
- [64:19]
Brian Scally
And I do think that Angela has been playing amazingly so far, and if this was a completely new player, I would have so much faith in this game. And I'm not gonna fully judge someone off of their past seasons, but I'm a little bit judging Angela off of her past season, and I just think that. Good luck, Drew.
- [64:46]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Drew. Drew. All right, so Barrett does talk more with Mallory later in the night. She, by this point, has been told by Taylor that Yash was really pushing the trio narrative. Some effective campaigning by Taylor to put more heat onto Yash despite her own connection to Yash, and. And, you know, Barrett just continues to, I would say, bond with Mallory. He's already now sort of told. Told Drew that Mallory might be a decent parachute for him, and, you know, we're already seeing that kind of go into work. Mallory also expresses how disappointed she is with Melody for distancing herself in the way that she is. Something else that we didn't talk too much about was that Melody had a conversation with Mallory prior to the veto competition where she didn't outright say it, but pretty heavily implies that she's gonna have to think a lot about whether or not she uses the veto on Mallory, which is a pretty silly conversation to have considering she hadn't won the veto yet and didn't end up winning the veto. So, you know, that thing continues to divide, and, you know, it would not surprise me if by the end of the week, week Melody and Mallory are just fully not friends and Melody has successfully distanced herself.
- [66:22]
Brian Scally
Yeah, I think this could be recoverable if Melody cared at all to recover it. And I think that's really the problem here is that Melody is pretty much encouraging it like. Yep, actually let's continue distancing to any consequence apparently.
- [66:40]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yeah. So Jason then really spends much of the rest of the night. Yeah, we'll talk about Jay's. It's really like much of the rest of the night is spent with Jason talking with Drew. And later a bit of Lyric there too where Jason is really just continuing to pitch this vet theory. And you know, he's obviously been talking to Lyric about it a lot. He's knocking the Rome and Lala about it a lot. But now he's including Drew on the conversations. And Drew now has pretty much the full download of like Jason's enmity toward, toward Devin's, his suspicion that the vets are working closely together. Uh, and how much Jason wants to go against these uh, these, these, these vets. How like they're the main characters and they need to take them out of the show. And so this is obviously, I think the time where Jason's finally gonna get caught. He finally talked to the wrong person. Drew, I believe I'm being told is now is literally right now telling D on the wow.
- [67:59]
Brian Scally
And good timing unknowingly for Drew could save him big time with Angela as well, who has been very wor about how he's not bringing any information back. And if Drew is able to, you know, expose Angela's bear cub, Jason here with through this, then I think that maybe, just maybe Drew could put off, you know, Angela for a couple weeks.
- [68:25]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Perhaps.
- [68:26]
Commercial Voice
Perhaps.
- [68:27]
Host (J. Armstrong)
I guess a question could be like, is this information big enough to get D to want to change her renom plans? I doubt it. But, but, but I guess we'll see if she's learning the information right now. Tune in tomorrow morning, 11am Eastern. We'll let you know what's been going on. So. So Jason spends a lot of the night doing that. We also get a camera talk from Barrett who says that he wanted to work with Ashley but she just didn't really ever give him enough game wise. Which tracks with kind of how we've seen Ashley so far and part of why she's in some danger. He says Taylor's just given her. Given him more in terms of like game talk. But most importantly when talking about his allies, he says he thinks Devin's is his number one. He obviously wants to protect D as long as possible. But he feels like Devin's is his closer, more reliable kind of ally at this point. If the flirtation continues, I think that might change. And quite frankly, given the flirtation, he might just be saying this to the cameras because he doesn't want to come off as a Quinn. So. So we'll see. We'll see. But he does have this camera doc.

I think it's interesting because he does kind of say, like, I want the, you know, the vets to think that I am their little puppet. I want them to think that I'll just do whatever they. They say, which, like, to a degree I am, but I want to. And like, says things in a way that implies he is aware and is going along with this, but knows, like, it might not necessarily be the best long term, but at the same time his closest ally is Rick Devins and he knows like, what kind of a spot Rick Devins is in. So if your closest ally is a vet who you can't be and also is in this great spot, I would worry a little bit about potentially what that could mean in terms of up against on the block with him in the future. But I think, think for right now, Barrett is doing a good job. I'm enjoying the camera talks and I like this little window into his mind.

Host (J. Armstrong)
Yes, I'm seeing some questions in the chat about like, if. If this information was big for D and it didn't want. Make her want to change her renom plans, what would it change to? My guess would be either Lyric or Lala back to Lala, who she was very against putting up on the block. If she, if she knows, if she knows enough to know that Lala is deep in those conversations as well. Well, I could see her being like, okay, maybe I do Lala then. And it kind of, you know, gives Haley a little bit of something. It gives this, the red corner a little bit of something while taking a shot at a danger to me or potentially Lyric for being involved in that conversation. As somebody that's like, you know, was clearly with Jason on these conversations. I still think that's probably unlikely. I think it's a bit last minute it. And I think D herself feels good enough with both Lala and Lyric that she probably doesn't feel the need to do anything about that. Maybe she's gonna like go and question Lyric and see if Lyric opens up about any of it. And if she doesn't, that could be a problem for Lyric. But it's. But still trying to like nominate her feels A little risky at this point in terms of, like, blowing up the entire trajectory of where they've been going. I don't think it's a pressing enough threat right now that she probably needs to. But that would be where I would assume things go, considering, of course, to remind everyone that Jason is safe this week. Of course, if Jason was not safe, I think Jason being the replacement would be much, much more likely in. In this case for sure.

Brian Scally
Yeah. Jason was also interesting in those conversations. A little bit revealing. I think some people, people took it to be his motivations, potentially in his frustrations with the vets, talking about how, like, you know, if they look, how much they're getting called to the doctor look. Who do you think the story is being told on this season? Who do you think that America is going to love? Who are they going to want to see on screen? The sooner we get rid of these people, the story is ours. Do you think Jason unknowingly could very much benefit in terms of a little time capsule coming his way? But I did think it was at least very interesting to get that. It may be popping out a little bit.

Host (J. Armstrong)
Yeah. All right. That's basically what I've got. Sky, anything else that you wanted to bring up?
- [73:07]
Brian Scally
No, I think that we are good. Some funny, like, cute little moments, but otherwise, you know, Jason got like a little emotional at one point on feeds yesterday. Lala gets emotional about how, you know, they're doing her birthday for her. But I think we can hit all the major points for sure.
- [73:23]
Host (J. Armstrong)
Yes. Yes. Okay. Well, that is what we've got for you today, of course. We'll be back tomorrow morning at 11am Eastern to update on everything that happens today on The Big Brother 28 live feeds. We'll also be live tonight at 6pm Pacific, 9pm Eastern. I need to start saying 9pm Eastern because people care more about Eastern time. Unfortunately for me, at 9pm Eastern for the roundtable. That's kind of late, guys. I'm realizing I was like, like, because I was asked to change the time to six and I was like, sure, I guess. And then I was like, like, yeah, I guess. I guess we're doing nine then. But I guess that's the time that most of the recaps are on for the East Coast. I'm so west coast pilled now. Roundtable tonight. I will work on the survey once this update ends and I will send that out on, on Twitter and Blue sky and my discord and I'll put it in my Patreon chat everywhere I'VE got that I can think of. I'll try to send it out survey where of course we will rate the players and all this fun stuff. So check all of that out. Speaking of, check out my Patreon. I I've been watching Love island there. I do all my streams there and and all kinds of other stuff. I'm running Traders UK right now now and Bloody Game and all kinds of fun little stuff there. Scally, what do you got going on?
- [74:55]
Brian Scally
Ooh, anything I'm doing can be found on social media at Brian Underscore. Scally, myself and Kirsten have wrapped up Love island for the most part. Still got one more podcast with Rob live tonight actually at 8pm Eastern. So that might be affecting some scheduling things but so go check that out.

Host (J. Armstrong)
I thought I didn't, didn't we? Oh maybe that's why we pushed the time. Okay.
- [75:21]
Brian Scally
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. So do have that. So make sure to check that out. Was a really fun, interesting Love island season, as Taren can tell you. So that was a lot. Anything else I'm doing, as I said on social media like the Free Agents podcast over with Matt Liguori talking about old school seasons of the Challenge. Currently watching the only season of the challenge I believe Taran has ever seen in Couple Wrote.
