Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Recapping the Lyric Blindside Fallout

• The hosts start by reconstructing the aftermath of the unexpected Lyric eviction.
• Asia explains how Dee was “the brains” behind targeting Lyric, with Devin as “the feet on the ground” (06:55).
• Taran clarifies there wasn’t much missing from the feeds except the dramatic end to the wall comp (06:22).
• The group notes that the reasoning for turning on Lyric was strategic: she was seen as “more loyal to other alliance members” than Dee and Devin (07:56, Scally).

2. Wall Comp Breakdown

• The wall competition’s Bigfoot/camp theme gets plenty of love and laughs, with the group poking fun at the “adult Nickelodeon” vibes (04:13).
• Haley’s lackluster hosting: “It was comical how awful she was in hosting… impressive, honestly” (15:34, Asia).
• The wall comp itself dragged on, with key factors being the bar for support and adjustable heights enabling a longer performance.
• “Were you surprised that Dee was not one of the final competitors?” (20:41, Rob), with theories ranging from comp fatigue to being nerfed by wearing shoes (21:08, Taran & Asia).
• Memorable moment: Lala vs Kamu showdown: “What a finish… to Lala, who crushes this. Very fun moment both on the feeds end and on the show.” (23:21, Taran).

3. Lala’s Shock HOH Win

• Lala unexpectedly outlasts Kamu in a dramatic wall comp showdown (24:48). Kamu appeared dominant but had a dramatic slip, ceding victory.
• The hosts highlight the edit’s celebration of Lala’s disbelief and Taylor’s emotional support: “That was just, I mean, amazing.” (25:30, Asia)
• Rob admits, “Let me also apologize to Lala…” for underestimating her social and competition game (29:16).

4. House Power Resets & Emerging Alliances

• Lala’s HOH throws existing alliances into chaos—she is positioned as a third-party with no clear loyalty, forcing the house to realign.
• The new power quadrant starts to form around Lala, Taylor, Kamu, and Yash—anti-vet, anti-icons (38:49, Taran).
• Yash’s stock rises: Previously viewed as passive, he leverages the shakeup to become a “genuine power player” (37:25, Taran).

5. The Adam & Eve Punishment and Game Impacts

• Mallory receives the Adam & Eve punishment from the BB Time Capsule. The group debates whether she should have chosen D or another power player to be punishment partner but notes the production value in highlighting less-featured players (33:01, Taran).

6. Nominations Decisions & Strategy

• Lala and Taylor, now closely aligned, weigh nominating Rick Devins, but Taylor steers her to target Haley instead (35:14).
  • “Rick Devins is a fan fave. We can’t have a fan fave at the end when America votes,” jokes Asia (35:14).
• Final nominees: Haley (primary target), Chuck, and Barrett as a pawn. The group notes the edit gives little context for Barrett’s inclusion (44:48).
• Lala frames Haley/Chuck as “a strong couple,” creating dialogue in the house about their status (46:05).

7. Diary Room Gold: Haley vs. Lala

• Haley delivers a memorable diary room rant, calling Lala “Cruella” and listing “three passes” she gave her, in a rant that humorously falls apart (46:52, Haley):
  • “Cruella, I gave you three passes! I gave you my vote before evictions… I didn’t put your ass on the block. And three, I didn’t put your ass on the block as a have not.”
  • Rob deadpans: “There’s only one thing…” highlighting Haley’s confused numbering.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

Wall Comp / HOH:

• Taran: “The feeds cut basically right after Kamu said he could be up there all night… What a finish!” (23:02)
• Scally: “I enjoyed Big Brother so much that day. Back to, Kamus’s going to win HOH. I hate Big Brother again.” (24:58)
• Rob: “Here we are in a Lala wall comp win and a hugely pivotal week in the season.” (29:17)

Diary Room / Hayden Meltdown:

• Taran, mocking Chuck: “You’re on the block steamrolling.” (43:16)

Strategy:

• Taran: “Yash is looking real good. He’s out of the can and out into the streets.” (38:49)
• Scally (on Lala’s ‘confused’ game): “If you’re not fully going through, then play to that strength. I gotta get my water. I voted with the house! …Do it, why not?” (11:03)
• Taran: “Lala had been struggling a little bit, so it really didn’t seem like she would be able to outlast him. But slip happens.” (24:13)

• Yash: Steps up as a strategic force post-shakeup.
• Dee: Lauded for elite social/lying game, particularly her ability to make emotional appeals seem genuine.

[Rob Cestrinino]

What's going on? Rob Cestrinino back here with you on a Sunday night to recap a wall comp and talk about a very busy weekend in Big Brother and very excited to catch up tonight with a guy who they've been keeping him so busy. Here he is. It's T up. How are you, Rob?

[Taryn]

I got about 28 seconds for you. That's all I got for the podcast. Sorry, that's it.

[Rob Cestrinino]

No, listen, I know I'm not going

[Taryn]

to be the last one on the podcast. I might as well dip out early.

[Rob Cestrinino]

No, no, no. This is an endurance comp. We know you got this.

[Feeding America Narrator]

All right.

[Rob Cestrinino]

We're excited to be here. For the first time on the recap this season, Asia Welch is here Asia, how are you?

[Asia Welch]

I'm doing well. Very excited to talk about this episode. And I'm sitting here thinking, if I got the Adam and Eve punishment, which of you three would I want to be attached to?

[Rob Cestrinino]

I don't know.

[Asia Welch]

It would be tough, right? Yeah. Let's hear it.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Listen, Asia, that we could. Listen. Last time I seen two survivors get together, they ran.

[Taryn]

Stuff didn't work out well, though.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yep. But, Taryn, did you fall off the wall comp?

[Taryn]

Did just now walk out of the frame. I'm standing on a treadmill.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Ah. I wasn't sure if that was your 28 seconds and you fell off the podcast after that amount of time.

[Taryn]

This is what I would do if I. If that were, I'd be like, guys, I'm here, excited to be here on the puck.

[Asia Welch]

And then we say, well, anyways, yeah,

[Rob Cestrinino]

you'd have to get a matching treadmill. Asia, if you got linked up with Taryn.

[Asia Welch]

Yeah. To keep up.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Feeding America Narrator]

All right.

[Rob Cestrinino]

And we're so excited to have back here. I got to talk to him so much in the first half of the summer. Talking about Love Island. Scally is here. Scally, how are you?

[Scally]

Oh, hello. Hello. I'm so good. Just got done watching my adult Nickelodeon. I feel like I've had such a blessed evening.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah, that was a choice that they actually said the quiet part out loud. The adult Nickelodeon.

[Scally]

Yeah. It's a badge of honor, apparently. You know, it's been a complaint that we've had for quite some time, but I. Yeah.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Although, I mean, when we have the paw patrol stopping by, I mean, where's the lie?

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Scally]

I mean, I spent my summer watching people get slimed on Love island all season, so I don't think I have a lot of support.

[Rob Cestrinino]

There's a lot of slime on Love island also.

[Taryn]

Yeah, that feels like adult Nickelodeon. This feels like it's still just regular Nickelodeon. No.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. All right, so we'll talk through the wall comp and then, boy, what. What a weekend it was here in the house, as we'll talk about Lala's big night and of course, where she ultimately gets these nominations. It was such a small slice, though, of, like, the. The time, really, from the wall comp through when the nominations came up. I guess that's what the Sunday night episode is. But there's so much to happen before this period of time. And then also in the period of time which is going to follow this and then time, we also had Big Brother unlocked in the middle, which also gave us some of this.

[Taryn]

Yeah, it's a strange. The Sunday episodes have been so smushed, which is weird because the Wednesday episodes are so long and they usually don't warrant the length. But then the Sunday episodes feel too short. There's so much to cram in between the post blindside chaos, the wall comp, the time capsule, and then genuinely a great prenom scramble that they had to shorten into like five minutes of airtime, which. Which was unfortunate because it was really good stuff, but it just. I guess it is what it is at this point.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah, I guess we should. I guess let's. Should we look back at the Lyric stuff and talk about some of that? Because, Taryn, did we get a lot of stuff from when the feeds were down here?

[Taryn]

Not too much. I mean, honestly, the biggest part of Feeds down stuff was Lala versus Kamu at the end.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Sure. In the wall. In the actual wall competition.

[Taryn]

Yeah. But we got that like the rest of this, we saw most of.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah, we got a little bit of the backstory because obviously when things changed on Thursday, they could not include any of it in the Thursday episode. So they're trying to at least inform the audience at home what ended up happening. Asia, we got this a little bit more from de's perspective of why she wanted to see Lyric go home.

[Asia Welch]

Yeah. And it. I mean, it was fitting to get like, her perspective because it was like she was the brains. Devin's were. Were the feet on the ground. Right. And so I felt. I felt like that was accurately portrayed it. You know, it just felt like it wasn't enough time to truly show the chaos, the back and forth, the. The reasoning. So it. It felt like that the front end of this part of the episode was okay. And in explaining that part, but like you were talking about at the beginning, after the HOH is where the time was restrained. I was like, if any. If any day needed an hour and a half, it would have been today. I know they don't have that flexibility, but it is unfortunate.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Especially with the big wall comp that we have and to try to get to all of that. Scally, what do you think about the reasoning of going after Lyric here from how it was presented?

[Scally]

I like it. I think especially from Dee and Devin's perspective of this is someone who's always going to be more loyal to the other people that are, at least for now, in our alliance than they are to us. That's great. Publicly, you know, the. She's betraying her alliance, so who can really trust her? I don't know if that works for everyone, but I think that, like, as far as Dee and Devin's reasoning, I'm fully on board for that.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah, Tara. I think the thing that they did capture, which was interesting, was that they didn't think there would be so many votes for Lyric and they thought, oh, we'll blame Yash. We'll be able to really just like, hide in the numbers here. And then we get eight votes for Lyric on Thursday night. It was. It got too popular.

[Taryn]

Yes, exactly. Which really messed up the whole let's lie about it plan because as Kamu describes the math does not work here very well. The hope was to be able to claim a couple of. A couple of Yash La La Taylor. Now, granted, in many ways this actually works out given the HOH result. If they had put themselves into conflict with Lala for the vote and then she wins the hoh, that could have been bad news. So it might have actually saved them in another way.

[Rob Cestrinino]

What was fun also was seeing some of Haley's investigation about who voted for whom, especially her back and forth with Lala, where Lala also presents a lot of confusion of she doesn't know, you know, what was the vote? What was I supposed to do? And we see a clip where Haley asks Lala what she's doing with the vote and she says, okay, okay, got it, got it. But then does not vote that way.

[Asia Welch]

That was hilarious. Actually, the fact that she could easily point to, no, I talked to you about this. Like, you. You knew what I wanted. But. But that was part of Haley's hohi thinking that whatever she says goes. It's like this. There are votes involved. Your only job is to put the people on the block. What you want is outside of your control. You can voice it, but clearly Haley saw like, that's not what's going to. That's not how things are going to play out. So I loved Lala leaning into the. The confused Lala that she is really trying to portray, even though it's very like, do we believe it? Like, is she just this mastermind that is fully playing into the confusion, like, kind of how Dee is trying to do? Or is it that, hey, I just. I want y' all to perceive me as confused sometimes I may be confused, but I want you to see me how I want you to see me.

[Taryn]

It.

[Rob Cestrinino]

It is interesting. I feel like that this is a phenomenon of. I feel like that more and more people are just like feign complaining that they are dumb, that they're confused. It feels like this is happening more than I can recall it happening on reality tv. What do you think, Scally?

[Scally]

Yeah. You know, I don't know if it is the concentration of egos in the household or what, but just saying, like, I've never seen the show. I don't even know how this works at all. Seems to have worked, I think, for Lala. I would believe it a little bit more if I saw, like, a little more game sense in talks, like with Taylor or her allies. But I think, you know what, if you are not fully going through, then, like, play to that strength. And so if you just say, like, I got to get my water. What's going on? I voted with the house. Like, do it. Why not?

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. What's happening? What is this? What is this? Okay. Chuck is also very upset. Taryn.

[Ollie Women's Wellness Narrator]

We.

[Rob Cestrinino]

We saw Chuck. He appeared to be, like, on the verge of tears in the diary room. Very emotional.

[Taryn]

Chuck, Listen, Chuck's time is over. It's no longer Chuck time.

[Rob Cestrinino]

No, we're. We're just getting started on Chuck time. It's Chuck time. Yeah. Oh, good. He was so. He was so sad. And.

[Asia Welch]

No, I. I can. I can text my friends who are casuals about things going on in the house just to keep them updated. And the fact that this week, one of them said, who is Chuck?

[Rob Cestrinino]

Who's Chuck?

[Asia Welch]

Who is Chuck? That shows how relevant you are in this house.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Asia Welch]

But he has no clue. She really thinks he's doing something.

[Rob Cestrinino]

So we also got right before they go to start the wall comp, we hear that Kamo is a free agent, Taryn, and this is really going to be a big deal. The free agen of. Of Kamu.

[Taryn]

Yeah. And this is the real danger of. Of orchestrating this as a blind side. Something else that Kham is going to say this night that doesn't really make the episode is that, like, I don't know why they lied, because I would have been on board. Like, I was in the alliance. If they. If they wanted to go that way, I would have followed them. But instead, they showed their hand to me, and now I'm a free agent. And that is very dangerous for a player like Ka Mu, who, as we'll talk about in this recap, really worked well to not only save himself and stay off the block, but integrated himself into a new kind of power structure. And that is not what you want to do when. When you're trying to go against one.

[Rob Cestrinino]

This wasn't part of the episode, but it was my understanding that the lyric blindside got accelerated when com. When Dee felt like that Kamu was trying to Und some of the things that she was doing is. Do I have that wrong?

[Taryn]

No, you don't have it wrong. Basically, D flips the vote to keep Drew against Melody, but never really bothered to flip the vote to keep Drew against Lyric. Haley was like. Because the way they convinced them was saying Melody is the one person actually coming after us. So let's evict Melody in all scenarios. So then when Haley brought it to Kamu, Kamu is like, that's fine. But we're also then keeping Lyric in all scenarios, meaning we have to take out Drew over Lyric because we want to make sure we're at least breaking the couple up. Then that was brought back to Angela, which was related to D. And in Dee's mind, she had done the work, and then Kamal had flipped it back, and instead of trying to, like, re. Flip it back again on her own, she kind of last minute has the idea, let's flip it. And. And while we're at it, let's also flip to keep Melody over Lyric, because screw, comma, I want to keep Lyric.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Okay. And so that is a big part of it that Kamu doesn't know, and I don't think ever will know until he watches the show. Okay, let's go back to my birthday. October 20th, but not 1967, people. Okay. And let's go back to some sort of scally. We're at some sort of a camp where there's a Sasquatch.

[Scally]

Yeah. You know, just one of those normal camp squatches. Okay. Not Egyptian. Glad we cleared that up on the episode once again. But, yeah, I thought this was a cute little theming for walk on.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah, this was fun. And, Asia, I know that Haley gets a lot of flack. I was. Every time she came out and said, oh, no, I was. I was dying.

[Asia Welch]

It was comical how awful she was in hosting. And like, I. It was impressive. I think it takes an extra level of effort to be the way Haley was in this comp because you. You can just be excited, right? You could be excited that things are going on. It's a new day. You're finally outside. Y' all been cooped up inside for so long because they've been building this wall, and she just couldn't. I mean, obviously, she'd just been blindsided. So she's. She may be a little down. She feel like she has no one, but she couldn't even fake being excited.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Send her to the Bold and the Beautiful. She can come Back with Rachel.

[Asia Welch]

First choice.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Scally]

Yeah. I think at one point she was like, oh yeah. I realized no one was listening to me so I just was talking. It's like. Yeah. Not the three plus million people listening to you on the episode. That doesn't matter.

[Asia Welch]

Oh, it's. It's actually because she's had four really bad weeks.

[Uber Eats Advertiser]

Yes.

[Asia Welch]

You know, it's really every day.

[Taryn]

Can't catch a break.

[Rob Cestrinino]

She can't get one easy day. Even in the people, it's always something. So. All right, Scally, Melody tells us that she was in the bigfoot club.

[Scally]

You know, didn't have that at my school. I think maybe we were underfunded because Bigfoot club. You know, I don't know if it was. Maybe I didn't have enough time. Maybe he was there.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Where's Melody from? Is she from a high Bigfoot seeing area?

[Taryn]

Arizona, right?

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. There's no Bigfoot in Arizona. No forests.

[Scally]

Bigfoot would be hot as hell in Arizona.

[Taryn]

I understand.

[Asia Welch]

Anything from Melody's home life because now we have on top of being a corporate show. No, A corporate game show host. I'm in corporate. I've never done a game show and I've been in corporate for 12 years. So I don't understand like where this. When did this. When did this start?

[Taryn]

Yeah, Asia, I think that's on you.

[Asia Welch]

I'm missing out.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

I grew up in Colorado.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Okay.

[Asia Welch]

Yeah.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Not a big maybe, I guess maybe Denver. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know anything about bigfoot, but

[Taryn]

I don't know where Sasquatches live.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. It was like Pacific Northwest. Yeah. But Asia. So we actually, we had a On the call in show the other day. Long time RJP contributor Aaron Robertson called in. He has the same job as Melody and I. I think that this is more of like it's like an escape room. I think more than something that. And maybe like businesses might be able to hire it out, but it seems like it's like an escape room that you go to that. It's like you and your friends are on a game show.

[Asia Welch]

Okay. That I have done. We've had a court, a game.

[Rob Cestrinino]

You're a big escape room person.

[Asia Welch]

Come in like a trailer.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Asia Welch]

Outside of our office. And then we were able to do an escape room as like colleagues right there at the office. Yeah, that makes sense. Okay, I get it.

[Rob Cestrinino]

And if I have that wrong in the chat, let me know. But. All right, let's get back to the wall. Comp by the way. Are we concerned that Bigfoot might have pink eye?

[Scally]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

If it's straying like that.

[Asia Welch]

That was gross.

[Scally]

Oh, no. It's a bad case of pink eye. Like,

[Taryn]

oh, no, he's pinching it.

[Feeding America Narrator]

Yeah.

[Rob Cestrinino]

No, that's it.

[Asia Welch]

He's like, oh, no, he's nauseous.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Angela, we should reference 28 seconds. This is a record, Taryn.

[Taryn]

I mean, listen, it beats Kyle.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. So Angela ends up going out, and then everybody's in it for a little while. We have not until Taylor comes down about 30 minutes in. But, Taryn, this was one of the longer wall comps. Did you notice anything that led to it being one of the longer ones?

[Taryn]

It was longer ones in. In the. In the season. But even then it's like, not that much longer necessarily. Really. The biggest thing is that they weren't really pushing, I think the contestants for the first roughly 30 minutes. And then they started really. Then they all started kind of dropping. But another aspect of it was, of course, that they had a whole bar to hold on to. So this was not going to be grip strength that goes out. Instead, it's going to be like your whole, like, shoulders and arms and like, core and you got your whole body you can put into this rather than just like one hinge point.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Scally]

It being adjusted for height, I feel like, was so helpful also in, like, certain people actually having a chance of staying on longer.

[Asia Welch]

Yeah. And it. And they had the option, Right. They had the option to switch between their grip strength behind them and then the bar in front of them. So it felt like people like Yash and Kamu, it really worked out for them because they were switching Asia.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Were you surprised that D was not one of the final competitors in this? I kind of felt like she said in the episode, like, oh, yeah, I'm built for this.

[Asia Welch]

Look, my mom text me during the. During the comp and said, is. Is Dee throwing these comps? I thought she was really good at these. I was like, I don't know. Maybe they are that hard. Like, maybe it's just tapping into something different.

[Taryn]

Oh, I think it's. It's. It's pretty obvious. She had. She's being. She's been nerfed. She has to wear shoes. She's not going to use her toe.

[Asia Welch]

She's too fed. Actually, that's what it is.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Asia Welch]

The fact that she's. She has. She's well rested. She has food in her stomach, and then she's having to do these comps. She's not used to it. Used to those conditions.

[Rob Cestrinino]

I want to skip ahead to Kamu and Lala at the end. Is there anything else from the wall comp that anybody wants to highlight?

[Asia Welch]

I thought with the trend of like alum coming back, I thought somebody was going to be Bigfoot. Right.

[Taryn]

You didn't see Jesse. He's. I think he's been in that Sasquatch costume himself before. No, like, I believe at least a gorilla one. Yeah. The they did this was obviously not on the episode, but they did start chanting as a mantra, Rob is a podcast. Rob is a podcast. Rob is a podcast. As they were struggling on the wall. So that's funny.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yes. And we wish that it was more successful for the people that were doing that.

[Taryn]

Yeah. And listen, cowards put it in the edit. Why are you hiding the truth? Yeah, why are you hiding the truth?

[Asia Welch]

Only Survivor will do that.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. All right, so Camus versus Lala and Taryn. Sadly, we did not get to see this final head to head battle on the feeds. It was, it was really fun to watch here in the episode, but boy, it probably. It was. It's tough if you were sitting there like 2:45am on Friday morning.

[Taryn]

Yeah, it's frustrating. It's frustrating because it was super dramatic and fun too. Yeah. The feeds cut basically right after Kamu said he could be up there all night, which was basically right before he has this incredibly dramatic slip of like. And then it's like, is he gonna be able to hold on?

[Rob Cestrinino]

No.

[Taryn]

And then he flips back. I mean, what, what a finish to a competition, especially finishing in that way. To Lala, who crushes this very fun moment both on the feeds end and on the show. I thought this was really cool to see.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. And Kamu looks like that he's ready to go for much longer. Lala looks like she is about to lose it. And you see, it seems like that Kamu is kind of negotiating from the position of, hey, Lala, I won't put you on the block. He's negotiating from the position that she's gonna drop and he's gonna win. And ultimately he has this slip and he isn't negotiating for him. It's not even on his mind that he, that Lala will win and he could end up going up on the block. This Taryn, he doesn't make a deal here. And it almost comes back to bite him.

[Taryn]

It really does almost come back to bite him. And, and they're not kidding too when they talk about how it felt like Camus was looking really solid compared to everyone else. Like throughout the entire competition, Kamu looked generally the best on the wall. And I think he felt that confidence too. He had only just started to look like he was struggling toward the end, but Lala had been struggling a little bit, so it really didn't seem like she would be able to outlast him. But slip happens.

[Rob Cestrinino]

And the edit really edited this beautiful moment for Lala, who was in disbelief that she won the wall comp.

[Scally]

It was so good. Just like, even when the feeds went down and was like, I enjoyed Big Brother so much that day. Back to like, comma's going to win. Hoh. I hate Big Brother again, cutting to like, it back. And Lala celebrating, like, it was so fun. She just like, fully at that point was saying, like, all right, I'm about to fall. If I fall, please don't put me up. Please don't put me up as a replacement. Nom. Cut to, she wins. Hoh. It was such a cool, like, fun moment. Everyone in the house, Angela's just cheering, crying hysterically for her. It was really, really fun.

[Asia Welch]

Yeah, I love how they edited it because in real time, I was in my bed, I had the feeds on, the feeds go off of the puppies, the wall comp starts. Next thing I know, I'm waking up. I had fallen asleep. I'm waking up to them in the kitchen. I'm like, oh, my gosh, who won? I have no idea. And then I see the necklace around Lala's neck and it's like, how did that happen? So I really enjoyed actually getting to see it play out, all of it. So it was just a beautiful moment that, like, we just. You can't write this, right? Like, it was just so cool because if you. If we were placing bets, which we're not, if we were placing bets, some people are, some people are. Who would have won this. Lala was not at the top of the list. And so I love that she got this done because that was just, I mean, amazing.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Every act of change begins with a neighbor.

[Uber Eats Advertiser]

With someone saying, we take care of each other here.

[Rob Cestrinino]

In food banks and food pantries, neighbors pack fresh food and dignity into every box, moving food from farms to families through Feeding America's nationwide network. So when that box reaches a home, it carries more than food. It carries a promise that together we can end hunger. Feeding America, led by neighbors, give now to endhungereedingamerica.org Let me also apologize to Lala, who I personally said in the week where Jason went home, I was like, what are we doing with Lala? Seems like a nice lady. I'm not calling her Cruella Deville, but I'm saying that what is she gonna. She can't even hit a pickle ball. What is she doing? They're gonna.

[Starbucks Advertiser]

She's.

[Rob Cestrinino]

She's not a player in the game. And now all of a sudden, here we are in a la la wall comp win and a hugely pivotal week in the season. Taran.

[Taryn]

Yeah, to be fair to you, she was also saying I can't even hit a pickle ball. So not out of, out of the realm of possibility there, but yeah, I mean, just this is. This is Big Brother at its best in terms of, like, competition outcomes. And this is exactly the kind of wall competition I want to see where Lala wins. And what does Lala want in all of this? A big thing just happened. Lines were drawn in the sand, blind sides. The entire power structure has been turned upside down. And instead of one person from one of that. One of the sides of that thing happening, winning, it's third party. Lala, who has no loyalties to any one particular faction, has her own motivations. And now all of a sudden, the entire house is spinning in circles trying to adjust to Lala's structure. And that's great. That's exactly what we want.

[Rob Cestrinino]

And it was also a nice moment, Taylor's celebration for Lala, also to see how she was like, right down, like, you did it.

[Taryn]

I just love the face she made in the diary room. I thought that was phenomenal.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. And Taylor knows this is also going to be a big moment for her in the game.

[Uber Eats Advertiser]

A Lala.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Hoh.

[Asia Welch]

Yeah. This isn't the first time we've heard Taylor say that she's playing for two. Like, this has been building up. So the fact that she's well aware that her voice is going to be weighed heavily with Lala this week, she's like, all right, this is. This is a great win for me. We're up.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Okay. All right. It's also a great win for Mallory to find out that she is gets the BB time capsule also in this episode. Although sadly, she ends up getting a punishment.

[Scally]

Unfortunate. You know, the odds were against her. There were five punishments, only four rewards left. And of course it's like, all right, it finally goes to someone other than the icons. Who's it gonna be? We find out and they get nothing.

[Asia Welch]

Shouldn't she have chosen D?

[Scally]

Well, yes,

[Taryn]

this is. This is a big topic, actually. The people have mentioned, like, who should she have chosen for the punishment? And everyone's like, well, obviously you should choose somebody like D, who's like, really strategic. You'd like, either get in on her conversations or block her conversations. But like, I do think there, it's. It's not like that, like, super. That simple. Right? Like, because it's not like it's subtle. Like, if. If Mallory picks D, D's not going to be like, oh, what? That's weird. Nothing. She just happened to. He's gonna be like, this is trying to block my conversations. Really? You pick me. Not Bar, not Melody. I see what you're doing, Mallory. So, like, that's. That's a little weird, but also. And I. And like I said, I'm not. I'm not necessarily saying that she's, like, consciously thinking of these things, but I actually think this is a great move to help Melody get the vote next time. It's guaranteed screen time for Melody. Mallory is the fan favorite right now, and so her sort of, like, being like, Melody's my friend. We're going to be hanging out this. We're going to have a whole segment on Wednesday where we're doing funny things for the audience to see. It's kind of like the best thing she can do to bequeath the power to. To the next person. So I actually don't hate it for that either.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah, that's interesting. Is the HOH off limits for the Adam and Eve power? Not that she was in danger going up on the block.

[Scally]

Yeah. I was going to say, I do think it's happening.

[Taryn]

Taylor got it herself, though. Right. And as a veto punishment.

[Asia Welch]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

So I don't think she was chosen,

[Rob Cestrinino]

but

[Taryn]

theoretically, I think you could probably choose the hoh.

[Scally]

I really wanted the HOH bed.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Listen, you got to be in on all those meetings, like, the Renam, like, you're, you know, Mallory. I don't think I've seen Mallory in the HOH room for more than five seconds all season. She's finally got up there. It's going to be a huge moment for her.

[Asia Welch]

Yeah, that's fair. I did love Angela's comments, like, I'm glad this wasn't my punishment.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah, I know. Also, Taryn, there's been talk about Drew and Barrett really being sidelined this week. And I have to think that it is not a coincidence that after the even Eve punishment was handed out, that these guys are not. Are suddenly just even more attached to Mallory and Melanie.

[Taryn]

Yeah. Drew especially is like the. The. The participation of a third party is not hindering his desire to hang out with the three of them. He's, you know, he's got a little bit of Zach in him in that way. And so. Yeah. I mean, you. You saw him.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

In this episode. You saw where his eyes were going.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Okay. All right, let's.

[Taryn]

Zach. I meant Bryce. I was kind of. I was trying to remember he was there, too.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. All three of them. Somebody's always underserved in a threesome, said Bryce's grandma. Okay.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Rob Cestrinino]

All right, let's. Let's talk about Lala's decision here. And we see her and Taylor working together, but interestingly, she does say that she starts with Rick Devins.

[Asia Welch]

Which is the reasoning, though. Hilarious. Rick Devins is a fan fave. We can't have a fan fave at the end when America votes. Like, it was. Was the quiet part, which is like, it doesn't matter if you have a fan fave at the end. Like, America is not voting. No one's voting. The jury is voting. So it's like, if he. If he's not a fan fave in the house, that's okay.

[Scally]

I do think there is, like, a slight element on a Big Brother contestant of, like, if I vote for a fan fave and I want to be liked by America, like, I don't think that that would necessarily hurt my chances.

[Taryn]

Yeah. I mean, she also, like, she has not forgotten what Devins did to Rome. Rome was her guy, and Devin's did him dirty.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Right.

[Taryn]

And so that is. That is something that she definitely, like, the North REM remembers and. And Lala will. Will remember.

[Rob Cestrinino]

She was very upset that night. Yeah. Okay. But it's. Taylor says. No, no, no, no. Haley, Haley, remember?

[Starbucks Advertiser]

Come on.

[Rob Cestrinino]

I think Lala is very, very quickly gets on board with that.

[Scally]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

It's also remembers not a heart fail.

[Scally]

Yeah.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Okay. And then she's looking at a back door of Haley and Barrett and Drew and Camu. Okay, those are the. We're also starting to see a little bit more Yash in the episodes. Okay. Scally, are you pumped up to see a little bit more Yash emerging?

[Scally]

That's a word. I think that it's fun to see Yash a little bit more active. I think that, like, I don't know where he's actively going is my favorite, but I am happy to see him, like, playing the game, taking charge, like, having his own reads. So. And I think that he's, like, decently fun in the diary room.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Well, let's talk about this, because I. I happen to be checking out this, like, couple hours before the feeds ended up going down on Friday afternoon. And Tarant. Yash did seem to be very activated during this period.

[Taryn]

Yes. And. And very much he should have been. Right. Like, he was on the other side of a vote. He chose not to participate from what we can tell. But. But theoretically, that could have hurt him. But he ends up in a position where Lala is the hoh. There's a bunch of chaos. The power structure has been demolished. This is the perfect opportunity for a player like Yash, who has good relationships and a decent strategic sense to. To. To pick his people, and he chooses the right horse to ride in on which is Kamu instead of Chuck. He uses the relationship he does have with Lala and Taylor and. And he has now established himself as like a real genuine power player in the house in. In this kind of like grouping that we'll talk about that Camus helps establish that Yash helped establish which is Yash, Kamu, Lala and Taylor. And. And it's. It's been a huge turnaround for his game. Not that he was in a terrible place, but he's even helped. He's even kind of squashed things with Angela, which is a live feed thing we've been tracking for a while. Which was the thing that I was concerned about if things said had stayed the same for him. So Yash is looking real good. He is. He is out of the can and, and, and out into the streets.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. I think we want the can. The Yash can.

[Taryn]

I guess. Yeah. I guess he's.

[Asia Welch]

He's.

[Taryn]

He's been. He's been cleaned the streets and put. Put it into the. I'm trying to make like a New York thing happen here. But.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Just doesn't make sense to me in general.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. We're still waiting for some more information of. To make it make sense. But as far as Chuck goes, Taren on Friday, did. Did Chuck just park himself in the HOH room and basically acted like he was cool with Lala this whole time?

[Taryn]

Yes. Yeah. 100. That's what he did. He was like, hey, Lala, oh my

[Rob Cestrinino]

God, I'm so happy for you.

[Taryn]

This is gonna be such a great week. And Lala and Taylor were kind of like this guy. I mean we won't nominate him, but like.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Which obviously didn't last.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. But that's the late conversation that ends up coming up because it's where we see Yash and Chuck talking in the episode. It's really the yacht. That Chuck is shady is a lot of the conversation that ends up helping to save Kamu here.

[Taryn]

Yeah. And Kamu is actually able to use. So basically this whole Angela thing stemmed from Chuck who told Angela in front of the whole Red Corner group that. That Yash had said her name that she could go because he had said something along the lines of like he doesn't have a great relationship with Evangelist. She's somebody that could go. And this, of course, it's Angela. It set her off. She's been anti Yash ever since. And so, so comma was able to use that information. Hey, Chuck was trying to turn people against you. Yash. We saw that he used Information with Taylor as well. Chuck's been with deep in deep with Chuck. Kama's been in deep Chuck all this time. So he has so much dirt to jump to D him with and he. He successfully did. And this is like the, I think the decision maker for Yash to just firmly be like, all right, all in with Kamu and we're dumping Chuck and. And we're moving forward in this direction and. And it works for both of them.

[Asia Welch]

And it's so funny with the whole Yash of it all, how much beef he has internally with Chuck.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Not just that Chipotle.

[Asia Welch]

Right. That you know, they voted together. Like. Yeah, they voted lyric out together. And it's just like Chuck is doing such a terrible job proving his innocence, I guess in it that Yash is like, absolutely not. Can't trust this guy. He's always been shady. Had never once believed a thing he said.

[Taryn]

Yeah, yeah.

[Scally]

Someone should tell Chuck that he's this active lying player because I would love to see him.

[Rob Cestrinino]

So Kamu ends up going to go to Lala and then he has a conversation and he remembers the time that Chuck said that Lala can go. She's making food for everybody and she thinks that's going to save her.

[Scally]

Yeah, he probably said it sometime once. Who knows?

[Feeding America Narrator]

I.

[Scally]

Even if this was just like active lying, like, I always think people should do more active lying. So like, good on him.

[Taryn]

I mean, everyone said this about. About Lala. Like, like, it's a pretty. It was a pretty. Especially was a pretty common sentiment. But Chuck's the recipient here because Chuck's the person that he needs to throw under the bus. Funny enough, Chuck is gonna try to. To essentially tell Lala this later. Everyone talks about you, but please don't get that started. That's not a good way to start it. Yeah.

[Asia Welch]

Just the audacity of truck. To even utter any type of words like that to Lala. It's. It's just, it's an. It's annoying and it's. It's the fact that Chuck just thinks he's. So he's in a position to give advice in this game. Oh. Because he's killing it as on the block.

[Taryn]

You're on the block steamrolling.

[Asia Welch]

What are you doing?

[Taryn]

Yeah, that's what the audience wants.

[Rob Cestrinino]

The fans like it. Yeah. Producer's dream. So I want to talk a little bit about Taylor and Camus who we hear get linked together really for the first time on the show. And in the diary room, Taylor tells us that her and Kamu Are connected over a shared faith. This is something that I was not aware of, and it was definitely a surprise to me in the episode.

[Taryn]

Yeah, faith is very important to both of them. It tracks to me that that was sort of the origin of their bond. They have had a bond. We've talked about it. But. But, man, did the. Did the producers, when they got that diary room from Taylor saying kamu is a good person, did they go,

[Starbucks Advertiser]

oh,

[Taryn]

just wait until those Twitter people get a load of this one. What do we need to do to put this in the edit? Aha. Social media. What?

[Scally]

Yeah, I think that clip has been tweeted at me, like, six times already, unfortunately.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Okay. All right. So, yeah, Lala's ready. She's gonna put the big dogs on the bench. And we end up getting our nominations. And it's Barrett and it's Haley and it's Chuck, and so she. Yes.

[Asia Welch]

I just, I. You know, when we saw the time was like, okay. It's like, okay, about 18 minutes left in the episode. How are we going to fit this in? How are we going to fit in all this back and forth? And I love that with the final edit, we get nothing about Barrett. Like, imagine watching this and just wondering, what did Barrett do? Why is Barrett on the block? Did Barrett fight for his life? Did he try to not get on the block?

[Rob Cestrinino]

They said that, okay, we could put him up on the block. It's fine. He's a. He's a pawn. And she said, barrett, bear, you know I love you.

[Taryn]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. They didn't make room for this in the edit, but Barrett and Drew were both told they were going on the block to the point where they both went up to try to argue themselves off of it. Drew got dressed up, requested a specific, like, screen to be put on on the nomination block, and then was blindsided when he wasn't put on the block, which is, I always think, a really fun thing to put in an episode, but they didn't have time for. That's why he's dressed up in the way he is. And he's. He's more surprised than anyone that he's not on the block.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. So in addition to Barrett, it is Chuck and Haley who go on the block.

[Asia Welch]

Haley, Chuck. You guys are a strong couple.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Strong couple.

[Taryn]

After her, it's not a showmance.

[Asia Welch]

She used the. Her using this specific word was something they could cling on to for the next couple of days because they would not let. We're not a couple. Why would she say we're A couple.

[Taryn]

It's not. It's not a showmance. Why is she saying it's a showmance?

[Rob Cestrinino]

Should have a fake breakup.

[Taryn]

We're not a showmance.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Okay. But then we get. And it was a pretty light Haley episode in terms of diary rooms and you know, should we saw her shot. And then she gives us. Wow. Let's listen to this.

[Asia Welch]

Cruella, I gave you three passes and

[Rob Cestrinino]

I'm like, wait, hold on a second. Did you skull Lala? Cruella? What?

[Asia Welch]

Just out of thin air?

[Scally]

Okay, Lala, who's the puppy in the scenario?

[Rob Cestrinino]

I don't know. She is a dog lover. Say what you want about Haley. She is a. She is a dog lover.

[Taryn]

Everyone needs a good trait puppy. She just can't catch a break. It's the thing too is it's. So I mentioned this on an update, but it's so good that during Haley's hoh week when they were debating who should be the replacement nominee, whether it should be Lyric or whoever else, people kept bringing up, why not just put up Lala? Like Lala's fine pawn to put up on the block. And Haley kept saying, no, no, Lala's not a threat. That would be an effing waste of anomaly. That would be a personal emotional decision, not a strategic one. So not going to do that. And we'll.

[Asia Welch]

It's po. It's. It's a work of art, honestly.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yep. I. I do want to listen to the three things that Haley's three things that she gave Lala, AKA Cruella. Okay, here. Here she goes.

[Asia Welch]

Cruella, I gave you three passes. I gave you my vote before evictions.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Okay, I gave you my vote before evictions. So that was what that was vote out Melody or that's the week that she was on the block.

[Asia Welch]

I think it was her telling her that they should vote out.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Okay, I don't know what that. I don't know what that is. As I gave you my three passes. I don't really know what these things are, but. Okay, I told you what to do. I told you what to do. You didn't do it. Okay, yeah, I did.

[Taryn]

I thought it was more like she would not. She would give her. She would not vote her out when she was on the block. But it's. I. I see the other read too.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Okay.

[Asia Welch]

Number two, I didn't put your ass on the block. And three, I didn't put your ass on the block as a have not.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Okay, I didn't put you on the block. And I didn't put your ass on the block. On the block as a have not. Okay, but wasn't lala have not last week?

[Asia Welch]

She's saying, she's like, I didn't put you on the block one. And then while you were have not, I did not put you on the block. She's trying to make it two points.

[Rob Cestrinino]

There's only one thing she.

[Asia Welch]

She was. As she's speaking, she's like, Like, I've already committed to saying three, and I don't have a third, so I'm gonna have to just make a 2A to sub this in and hope people don't pay attention and clip it.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Why are you putting me up? I. I didn't. I told you what to do, and you didn't do it. And then I. And then I didn't put you on the block, but I did make you a have not and didn't put you on a block while you were have not. She's the best. I really. I can't lose Haley this week. She gives us so much more than Chuck.

[Scally]

More than Chuck that Blockbuster is going to be happening. And I'm like, I'm not going to look, but, like, might be. I don't know if I'm rooting for someone or rooting to. Something doesn't happen.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Yeah. And then she tells us, man, I

[Asia Welch]

don't even think I've had one easy

[Uber Eats Advertiser]

day in this house.

[Rob Cestrinino]

One easy day.

[Asia Welch]

No, it is.

[Taryn]

I mean, through. Through the four weeks that me and my alliance were in power. You know, it was just really tough on me.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Didn't have one.

[Taryn]

Now we're not in power, and it's like, what? When can I catch a break? It's been like four whole days since I've been out of power.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Asia Welch]

What are we doing? This is her subtle campaign for the BB time capsule. She just. She has no idea we're watching feeds or watching the episodes. And she just thinks, okay, if I say these things enough, they're gonna think that I really need something because I'm really struggling.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Okay.

[Rob Cestrinino]

other things to talk about. So is there anything else from the episode you want to mention? Otherwise, let's. Let's talk about a jam packed weekend of things happening in this crazy Big Brother house.

[Scally]

In the spoilers, the Office of Civil Defense has issued the following message. This is a spoiler warning. A spoiler warning means that an actual

[Taryn]

spoiler against this country has been detected and that protective action should be taken.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Okay. All right. All right. A lot happened over the weekend. Messy, messy girls. Some boys.

[Taryn]

Yes.

[Scally]

Yeah.

[Rob Cestrinino]

So Taryn, where. Where's the right place to start?

[Taryn]

I guess we can start with, you know, Kamu gets. Keeps himself off the block. Yeah, everyone's surprised. Kamu pretends to be surprised as well. And in general, this Kamu, Yash Taylor Lala group feels very anti vet. In fact, Kamu pitches for D or Angela to be the renom. So it's kind of like red alert for the vet. In the meantime, they kind of recognize that it's kind of red alert and so they're a little worried about what's going, what's going to happen. So they're trying to get back in with Taylor and Lala. Taylor and Lala in the meantime know that they have been lying about their votes. Taylor encourages them to come clean because there's no point in continuing to lie when they already kind of know. So Angela, paranoid that it's going to be told to them anyway, comes clean to Haley about her vote. Haley is incredibly upset. She, you, you know what really gets me going is that you shouted out my parents in the vote and then you lied to my face right after. What, what, what is even that Haley's very upset. Angela then encourages D. You should tell Kamu about your vote. So Dee goes to Camus trying to win him back over so that he doesn't join an anti vet alliance and tells him about her vote and tells him about how she doesn't like Haley and that Haley's really the reason why they kept the vote from him in the first place. And he's like, oh, that's a relief. You didn't hate me, you just hated Haley. Good to know. Then he says, ooh, and there's something else. I have a power. I, I didn't, I didn't plan to tell you. My heart is shake racing but man, I do have a power which is very risky. But it does work for now. And Camus has been won back over by Dee and Angela and he is now no longer an anti vet force. If anything, he is now trying to bring her in to the Yash Taylor Lala grouping. But Yash, Taylor and Lala don't want them in. They are still very anti vet and once Haley's gone, they want to go after the vets. I'm talking about all of this because Kamu ends up winning the veto, he doesn't plan to use it and Haley is still the primary target. So there's a lot of stuff happening. And in the meantime, by the way, the FAP alliance, which if you don't know, is Drew, Barrett, Melody and Mallory, they are just kind of hanging around in costumes. Yeah, they're just, they're just kind of Fapping around, you know, so. So that's kind of where we are. There's a lot of. There's a lot of stuff. There was a huge argument that took place that. That had Angela going, I can't hear that on tv.

[Asia Welch]

Because I was like, oh, well, fbbb.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Oh, well.

[Starbucks Advertiser]

Oh, well.

[Asia Welch]

So nobody will be able to see that.

[Starbucks Advertiser]

Oh, well.

[Taryn]

Fffb.

[Rob Cestrinino]

So, yeah, this big. This big blow up between Haley and Angela, which was not on the feeds, and hopefully we will see on Wednesday. Was there any intentionality from Angela to go just full all curses to. To hide it from us?

[Taryn]

I mean, from the description and from Angela's retelling, I. I think she blacked out. I'm not gonna lie. I think that, like, it was like the. The demon came out, like.

[Feeding America Narrator]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Like she was possessed. So. No, I don't think it was intentional.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Scally]

I'm so excited.

[Asia Welch]

I know. I just can't wait to hear one solid beep like, through it all. That. That would be fine. That can make air.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Well, that was a fight between Angela and Haley. It was basically part two of the confrontation about Angela lying about her vote.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Scally, what were you saying?

[Scally]

You say Angela's talent is finding, like, the right target to generally still be well received by the audience in this because Angela will go into a screaming rage and still come out looking like the most sane person in the arc.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. From my understanding of this, it sounded like that the thing that really triggered Angela was that Haley seemed to have information that. That. That Angela was blaming D for the lyric vote flip. Is. Is that correct?

[Taryn]

Yes. That in the conversation with the present, Haley said, well, you tried to put the blame on D when we were up on the balcony. And Angela's like, that is not true. That is not true. And Haley was like, really? Because I asked you, did D vote that way? And you said, trust your gut. Fffb.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. To me, that is like, the most incriminating part. Like, that reaction is like, oh, okay, 100% this is true. And you don't want me to say this, but. But that. I. I guess that's not how people have received it. That people have. That people have said that this was somehow. They don't see it that way.

[Taryn]

Yeah. They said Haley mistreated Angela in this conversation. Lala came in to break it up and be like, shame on you. That was ugly behavior, Haley.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Asia Welch]

And even coming out of that conversation, D did not take that as Angela threw me under the bus. She's like, I didn't like the way that Angela or Haley and Chuck were talking to Angela. Like, that was the biggest thing she took away from it. So the person that Haley was trying to give this information to, like, it backfired.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Did that Angela Haley conversation happen on the feeds?

[Taryn]

The. The balcony trust your guy?

[Rob Cestrinino]

No, no, no.

[Taryn]

The.

[Rob Cestrinino]

The conversation that got. That got quoted.

[Taryn]

It. It was. From what I could tell, if it took place that day, it did not. I don't think it took place on the feeds. It's possible they're referring to an earlier conversation. So it is possible she did. Like, when asking about D earlier in the day, Angela was very much like, I don't know. I don't know anything about anybody else. I can only speak for me. So. But there were a lot of conversations that took place over the course of a couple of days. So it's very, very possible that it did happen at some point. Okay.

[Rob Cestrinino]

How looped in are Chuck and Haley that the Vita will not be used?

[Taryn]

They know. They've basically been told by Camu that he's not going to use it. He's come up with various stories. He worked with Lala to say that Devin's might go up on the block, and so he can't do it for that reason. And. And then he talked to them about it, and he talked to Chuck about. And he was like, well, I can't really do it because Haley is not, like, trustworthy because of what she did when she tried to make a deal with Mallory to keep herself safe, but not us safe. And so he's just doing everything he can to kind of like, make it their fault that it's not happening. It's just not landing with them because they're like. They're like, why is he trying to make it our fault? This is really. I mean, it's classic Kamu stuff, and it's just pissing them off even more.

[Rob Cestrinino]

And so for Haley and Chuck, other than having a pity party, are they. Are they trying to, like, throw any. Anybody else under the bus? I mean, they feel like that they have like five weeks of being in the red corner and the tool shed. It seems like that they could be spilling this to somebody.

[Taryn]

This. The story is like, because their original plan. I left this out because it's not super relevant. They didn't win the veto, but Haley's plan was to win the veto and not use it. It as a show of loyalty to the red corner, slash the tool shed or the remainder of the tool shed to be like, hey, if we're up against. If One of us is up against Barrett, who we feel confident we can beat in a blockbuster, then we have the votes to stay. And so as per usual, because they think, well, the, The. The numbers are with the toolshed. They will decide who leaves. I can't rat them out. Then I won't have the numbers. So I just have to hope that they're actually loyal to me and that

[Scally]

it's like the people that she has all the information on are the only people that kind of tolerate her in the house. Like, she hates the people that she could rat out to and they hate her. So a little bit of a problem.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah, boy. But I need her to win the blockbuster so bad. Really do. How fun would that be? Haley wins the blockbuster. She'd be so high on her own supply. And then. And send Chuck out it.

[Taryn]

I will say that because I'm with you. I agree. I think Haley staying is better. I've been on that train. However, there is one upside to Haley leaving, which is that a lot of people are now talking about, like, once Haley is gone, it's war. We can. We like, let's. Let's take out the icons. And. And to that end, Angela and D have already talked about maybe we need to try to keep Haley because we need them to continue to go against Haley instead of against us.

[Rob Cestrinino]

They're icons for a reason.

[Taryn]

Right. So I don't think it's the end of the world if Haley does leave this week. But obviously she is the better character here. And. And either way, I think we're getting some, like, the icons are getting. Getting a little more in the mix here.

[Scally]

Yeah, it's hard because I do want like the all out war of the house. But I like, as you said, like, every person is like, oh, well then, like, why do we need to get rid of Chuck next? It's like, I don't really need to

[Taryn]

let it sleep around for a while if he survives.

[Scally]

Yeah, that's my concern.

[Rob Cestrinino]

When you have this kind of furniture on the block, you gotta get rid of them.

[Asia Welch]

Exactly. And I actually. It would be so disappointing if we go through all of this and Barrett somehow leaves.

[Uber Eats Advertiser]

Right.

[Scally]

That would not be ideal.

[Asia Welch]

All for nothing.

[Taryn]

Feels tough for that to happen. But this is bad week to be on the block.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Asia Welch]

Yeah. I just see the icons coming up with reasons for both Haley and Chuck to stay by the end of the week. And it. Yeah, it's dangerous territory with. Especially with these powers. And you know, I. I could see D very easily as soon as she smells any trouble. Throwing Devin's under the bus about his power. So I don't know. I could get interesting as long as. I don't know. It could get interesting no matter what happens. Actually, even if Barrett ended up going

[Rob Cestrinino]

home, I'd love to circle back to Dee and Kamu and the work that De did to bring Camus back into the fold. And, you know, I've just been so impressed with. With D Just in her ability to lie, that she really is just one of the best in terms of how she really brings her emotions into being able to sell somebody a story. Like, she's really, really convincing and good at it. She just really, like, hits that, like, emotional cord with people and gives them, like, motives to, like, get them to feel like, okay, oh, it totally makes sense, you know, what you. What you did. And I just think that she's been. I've been so impressed with her.

[Taryn]

She always feels very present emotionally in. In any given conversation, which is something that, like, a lot of the players are really bad at. Even Devin's is. It can feel really detached at times. And obviously, Drew, we've talked endlessly about, but when Dee talks to you, she is very present in that moment. And the thing that. That she says a lot of the time, and I posted a tweet about it because it was really funny, where she says things like, oh, my God, I'm shaking right now. And then the camera zoomed in on her steady ass hands. But, like, she will. She will communicate to you, like, oh, my heart is racing. Like, I'm shaking. This is so. Oh, my God, this is such a good. Like. Like bring you along the journey of her emotions. And so it's hard to feel like she's not. He's like, she's lying. Like, she. Like you. She's giving you the slideshow of how she's feeling. So you. You feel bought into it. You feel like you're along. You're joining her in the ride. So it's good stuff.

[Feeding America Narrator]

Yeah.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Taryn, you're talking with Kirsten today about the. The wisdom of whether or not it

[Taryn]

was a good

[Rob Cestrinino]

Kamu about the BB bribe and that the risks of Angela not knowing it. I think I have a solve for D, and I don't know if this is allowed.

[Asia Welch]

D

[Rob Cestrinino]

bribes Camus not to reveal that she has the power for $5,000, and then he cannot tell anybody if he takes the bribe.

[Taryn]

That's fair. I like the idea. I would be concerned if it's allowed because the. I think the problem would be how do you Enforce it.

[Rob Cestrinino]

If he tells anybody, that's it. You lost $5,000.

[Taryn]

That's not, that's not a bad punishment. Like, if all I have to do is just not. I don't have to listen to it and then all I do, all I lose is $5,000. It's like, if it's for my game, for my life in the game, I'm going to do it it Right. Like, I think they're probably going to try to stick to things that are enforceable. So, like an eviction vote, you go in, you don't have a vote. It's made for you throw a competition. You, like, even if you tried to win, then they just wouldn't let you win. And they'd be like, no, you were contractually obligated to throw this competition, so you can't win it.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Well, you, I think you can win, but you forfeit the $5,000 then.

[Asia Welch]

Yeah, I see.

[Taryn]

I, I mean, we don't know. But my assumption would be if you were, if you were supposed to throw a competition and you won it, they would just be like, nope, second place gets it. Like, you don't. You don't get to win this competition. You took the bribe and then probably

[Asia Welch]

everyone in the house would know right.

[Taryn]

At that point you'd be exposed for having taken the bribe to. So, like, there's no incentive for you to win it because it would just be taken away from you and exposed anyway.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Interesting. Yeah.

[Taryn]

I was like, read the fine print,

[Rob Cestrinino]

get the whole book out. Yeah.

[Taryn]

They have not explained this in any way. That's just the what I assumed.

[Asia Welch]

I just want her to actually use it so we can get these questions answered. Like, how will this be used instead of it just, hey, I had the power and I didn't have to use it.

[Taryn]

Yeah, I mean, I, I think the most interesting version of it is the one where it is like you are forced to do the action because that actually does add some teeth to this power where you can kind of like coerce somebody into signing a contract with you that is like, I give you $5,000, you must do this thing this week or next week. I'm hoh. I'm not putting you on the block. I'm going to give you $5,000 in addition and you are going to sign this contract that you don't put me up next week if you win. And then they, like have to follow it if all, if all that happens is like, actually, I've now decided I want to nominate you. I'm going to give back the 5k. Like then that's even weaker than before.

[Asia Welch]

So then what she could do is next week, if she feels like she's in danger, bribe Devins to use the diamond power veto. But he doesn't have to do it, right?

[Scally]

Yeah.

[Rob Cestrinino]

You know, they have to accept the bra too.

[Taryn]

Yeah. I mean, I do like this idea that I like the. The concept of bribing Kamu to not tell Angela. Although I guess that would also it would expose the fact that you don't trust him to not tell Angela.

[Rob Cestrinino]

And it's like, no, but you don't. You're my friend. I want you to have $5,000. So I have to do something stupid. So just like we just have to agree to some. We have to agree to any stupid thing. Like just, you can't tell anybody I gave you the $5,000 players. She could sell. She could sell the combo. Yeah. And then my only other question is that where does Kamu leave off in. In terms of like, he's talking to Yash, he's talking to Taylor and Lala, but he's talking to D and Devins. Like, what are his loyalties now?

[Taryn]

I think he is firmly in the middle between a trio of Taylor, Yash and Lala and the trio of the icons. And he still has a. Technically has a final two handyman relationship with Drew, but neither of them are loyal to it. And. And he's. He's basically burned Chuck and Haley completely by not using this veto. So he sits in the middle between these two people, between these two trios. And if push came to shove, I do still think he would push probably side on the Taylor, Yash, Lala end of it. But there's plenty of time for push to come to shove.

[Rob Cestrinino]

So Asia I can't deal with is Chuck stays. He's such a know it all and not in a good way. Not like in a fun Stephen Fishback way. I feel like he'll just be sitting there, nobody working with him and he'll be like, oh yeah, I know everything that's going on.

[Asia Welch]

Even it show. Like if even it was even in the episode of I'm gonna get to the bottom of this because people lied. So I got to figure out who lied. And it's just like he, I mean he. If you even look at his social media, he acts that way in real life with the Dallas Katy Trail. That's all he posts about is going to the Dallas Katy Trail, which is a popular running trail in Dallas. People love to use.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah.

[Asia Welch]

And he is Always giving people advice how to meet people and how to do all this stuff at the Dallas Katie Trail. And he has brought that into the house and thinks he is just this master at playing big brother and doesn't even recognize that he is the one on the block. Like, he can't even. He couldn't even entertain the conversation that he had with Lala about her saying, that's my strategy is to act like I don't know what's going on. He's like, no, Lala, let me tell you. I was actually put all this aside, all this nominating stuff aside. I was going to tell you anyway. You need to start playing. You need to start playing the game. And it's just like, is he. Is it going to take him leaving for him to realize, like, he's still going to be thinking he's going to get out of the house? He's gonna be.

[Rob Cestrinino]

I knew it. I knew it.

[Asia Welch]

You know, people just. They aren't playing the game in there. They don't know what they're doing.

[Taryn]

Asia, I already knew you were gonna say all this about me, and honestly, now I'm coming after you.

[Asia Welch]

Yes.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Scallop. He's gonna have the worst BB Comic also.

[Scally]

Oh, my God. Like, I truly could not even begin to guess what it is because I don't know anything about Chuck.

[Rob Cestrinino]

He's gonna have like a hat on and be like on a stage, coach

[Taryn]

truck pun or something.

[Scally]

Yeah, Just like a big hat. Like, like, I, I truly could not tell you anything.

[Taryn]

Like a cowboy.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Asia Welch]

It's exhausting, truly. Like, when people just, like, at least, because him and Yash were really hitting it off at the beginning because they are that same type of guy. Like, at least Yash has a personality. Like, he has really started to shine and we get to see. We can, we, we. We can be entertained by watching Yash. I can't tell you three qualities about Chuck.

[Scally]

I don't know if Chuck could like slime dancing.

[Taryn]

I will, I will. I will give him some props. I think he performed very admirably up on that wall. He really hung in there. He was struggling for a very long time and he managed to milk every ounce of endurance he had on that wall.

[Scally]

But I didn't like that either. I wanted him to fall immediately.

[Taryn]

That is a perfect metaphor for his, his potential game, which is just that, like, he will be continuing to struggle through the entire season, but lasting long.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Okay. Asia, anything else on your mind?

[Asia Welch]

BB28, I think it's going to be really Interesting. Just to see how. How real this. These, like, murmurings are of going after the icons because we've seen this power shift, which we were really hoping for just to change things up a little bit. It. But is it going to sustain? Are we going to see, you know, d win hoh again next week? And we're back to the beginnings of the game.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Well, I think it's fair to say that the icons, like, set the tone for a lot of what's happening in the house. And, Taryn, I do feel like that the way that today has been very, very quiet. I feel like that there is a real sentiment to not rock the boat before the veto nomination happens.

[Taryn]

Yeah, I think so, too. I think that. I mean, Devin's in particular is really surprised that kamu is willing to not use the veto, and nobody wants to mess that up. They want to make sure the veto plan holds, and then, you know, then maybe talk about keeping Haley. I don't know.

[Scally]

That's like. Yeah, the costume is kind of keeping, like, Mallory and Melody and Drew, like, not having a lot of conversations, but. But at a certain point, I need to see the FAP alliance take things into their own hands.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Melody and Mallory are out of the costume now, correct?

[Taryn]

I believe so, yeah.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Okay. So they have a chance now, Scally.

[Scally]

There we go. Okay. We will see. I would love for them to, you know, start handling their own business because I feel like there's stuff to be done.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah. Okay.

[Asia Welch]

Also, one more thing. I just like this hoh HOH camp. I went to a camp of sorts in Mississippi this past weekend. French camp, Mississippi, where hunter McKnight from 46, he puts on a game he started last year where nobody got pink eyeball.

[Taryn]

Nobody.

[Rob Cestrinino]

No pink guy.

[Asia Welch]

No pink eye. Thankfully, 100 adults playing this squid game meets Survivor game. And shout out to everyone who played because there were a lot of rhap listeners out there.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Nice.

[Asia Welch]

Yeah. So shout out to them because they're probably listening. But it was really fun. We had no pink eye. We had no.

[Rob Cestrinino]

No sasquatch.

[Asia Welch]

No sasquatch. No sasquatch being nauseous. So it was a pleasant experience. No slime. But, yeah, shout out to all of them.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Yeah, sounds fun. All right, Scally, anything else on your mind?

[Scally]

You know, I'm excited to see how the season continues, but anything that I want to jump to actually might have the opportunity tomorrow. On the morning update, back to back.

[Rob Cestrinino]

Scally.

[Scally]

Maybe. Maybe.

[Asia Welch]

Okay, maybe.

[Rob Cestrinino]

All right.

[Taryn]

He won the power that lets him go back to back.

[Rob Cestrinino]

All right, We've Got big Rahabcon coming up here in a couple of weeks where when we just put it together that we will be together for Big brother episode number 1000 coming up on the Thursday night of Rahabcon. Tickets are available for the entire event and also single admission tickets for Big Brother on Wednesday and Thursday night at Rahabcon. Then, okay, tomorrow night, the stock watch. It's gonna be a wild week, Taryn.

[Taryn]

Yeah, I mean, it's a big reset to the game. So I'm really curious to know how the ratings will go, what the the the rankings will be. There's all kinds of fun stuff to get into this week.

[Rob Cestrinino]
