Episode Overview

This episode of "RHAP: We Know Big Brother" dives into the drama-packed Week 4 eviction night for Big Brother 28. The panel recaps the shocking blindside, unpacks the shifting alliances, discusses the messy live vote, and previews the upcoming Wall endurance competition. The episode’s tone is energetic, irreverent, and gleefully chaotic, reflecting the wild state of BB28.

---

Key Themes & Segments

1. A Stunning Blindside (03:07–13:39)

• The panel opens with palpable excitement over the first jaw-dropping blindside of the season, where Lyric is evicted in a late-breaking move.
• Rob sympathizes with Haley, the outgoing HOH, whose reign was upended ("My heart goes out to Haley. She's been having a tough week and... her HOH not go the way she wanted to." – Rob, 03:07).
• Taran sets the scene: until just hours before the vote, the expectation was a straightforward showmance split (Drew or Melody leaving). But a last-minute alliance flip led to Lyric’s shocking eviction instead.

“Sometimes we’re given things, and when we’re given things, we take them. And I’m taking tonight. This was a good night.”
— Taran Armstrong (03:41)

---

2. How the Flip Happened: Anatomy of the Broken Alliance (07:49–13:39)

• Dee spearheaded the flip, recruiting Devins and Angela to her side, pulling in more votes (Barrett, Mallory), and blindsiding the “red corner” (the erstwhile majority).
• Live feeds revealed Dee went rogue, pitching a “let’s just vote out Lyric in every scenario” plan and dragging in others.
• Notably, the plan was kept so secret that even allies like Haley were left reeling by the reveal.

“If you’re going to go after Drew, let it happen organically. Why are you trying to manufacture this?... This was a terrible move for Angela because Haley was locked in with Angela, but it’s great for us. I’m not convinced it’s the best move.”
— Omer Zaheer (10:34)

---

3. Strategic Fallout & Missteps (13:36–20:13)

• The panel analyzes why the move was technically risky for the "vets" (the established, returning players/alliance).
• Taran notes the main error: “The red corner so easily manipulated. They could have convinced them to do this – they would have been okay with it. But they do have a contingency: just lie about their votes.”
• Lavina and Omer revel in the chaos but question the logic for certain players.

“D was giving very much, ‘I got bored and I ruined lunch.’ Like…I truly, truly can always count on her.”
— Lavina Haves (15:02)

• The group anticipates the possible fallout in the upcoming Wall HOH competition. If Chuck, Kamu, or Yash win, expect a hardline retaliation.

---

4. The Wall Awaits: Setting Up a House War (18:09–20:06)

• Taran and Omer preview the “everyone against Kamu, Chuck, maybe Yash” scenario the Wall comp might bring.
• Taran: “Not a single person in this game should not be trying to win this HOH right now. It’s such a volatile time. Whoever wins gets to set the story of what just happened.”
• The group references the precedent for post-blindside Wall comps, notably BB25.

---

5. Live Feed & Houseguest Perspectives (20:22–24:03)

• Early post-eviction feed snippets: Haley seems to believe Dee and Angela are still with her – further evidence of Dee’s manipulation.
• Classic "who flipped?" confusion in the house.
• Omer: "Who is Drew's closest ally other than Melody? It's Barrett. And Barrett has known for days that Drew is going home. ...That's irony and I love it." (15:15)

“She hated Melody... so jealous of Lyric. But... thog doesn’t hate or be jealous of anyone more than she loves herself. So her just being left out of this, that is what probably hurts her the most.”
— Omer Zaheer on Haley (16:57)

---

6. The Blockbuster/Paw Patrol Veto Comp Recap (27:42–32:21)

• The comp was a physical puzzle tie-in with the Paw Patrol movie.
• Drew edges out Lyric, who struggled with puzzle placement—she set the bottom piece upside down and couldn’t recover.
• Taran expresses frustration with the TV production, missing key moments due to camera cuts: “...it was hard to tell because we only got one angle for about, like, 30 seconds at the end, which was wild and should not happen.” (31:17)

“If they need anyone to put any of those [Paw Patrol] dogs down, just let me know.”
— Omer Zaheer (28:00, mock outrage)

---

7. Eviction Chaos and Vote Reactions (37:11–44:12)

• The panel discusses house confusion as votes are revealed: Lyric, lyric, lyric, lyric… “Everyone looked… the way Devins and I think, wait, was like, what even happened?” (Lavina, 13:41)
• Lavina: “Can I just say, like, secure the bag. Brilliant work. And Yash is giving very much. Like, I’m starting to worry that my love for him is not irony anymore.” (45:58)
• Taran foresees trouble for Yash: “If any of [the majority] win [HOH], there’s four people on the other side… It’s not great.” (48:19)

---

8. Goodbye, Lyric: Exit Interview & Legacy Discussion (55:26–59:54)

• Julie Chen Moonves presses Lyric on who voted for her; panel agrees the info is both meaningful and trivial ("Yash is the only one that actually stood up for her in a serious way. Chuck and Kamu just didn’t realize that the votes weren’t there." – Taran, 55:45).
• Lyric’s departure is emotional but dignified; the panel praises her for her rogue gameplay and insists that, with a few bounces, she could have done much better.
• Rob and others pitch Lyric for other CBS properties (Amazing Race, Pirate Master, Love Island).

---

9. Producer/Meta Moments & Fan Culture (44:36–74:12)

• Shoutouts: Rick Devins votes, name-drops Rob, RHAP, and Tony Kornheiser; Yash hilariously shouts out Chipotle; Kamu references Frankie Grande, triggering a wild response from Frankie on social media (“Not a fucking chance... you can eat my ass.” — Lavina reading Frankie’s tweet, 73:31).
• The group laughs over the meta chaos of these shoutouts impacting the BB Twitterverse in real time.
• “He doesn’t know that you’ve already changed it to our hat though, with Rob has a Thug.” — Omer (44:05), a running in-joke about the "Thog" nickname.

---

10. Game Mechanics: BB Time Capsule and Power Predictions (69:56–71:27)

• The cast and panel speculate on who will win the BB Time Capsule (America's Player) twist. Consensus favorites: Mallory, Melody, Drew.
• Omer jokes: “Haley is expecting to get the BB time capsule this week... She’s good because she knows she’s gonna get it." (71:15)

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• "This was not a good move from the vets to Blindside because they could have convinced red corner that this was fine."
  — Taran Armstrong (12:49)

• "Everyone’s a fake ass bitch, and I love it. Thank you so much, you guys."
  — Lavina Haves (41:53)

• "I am locked in on this BB season... You lost me around BB16 which was boring as hell and now we are so back."
  — Omer Zaheer (04:49)

• “Haley’s face—face crack of the century.”
  — Lavina Haves (16:51)

• Frankie Grande’s Rebuttal to Kamu's DR Shoutout:
  'Not a fucking chance, Kamu. You can eat my ass.' (73:31, read by Lavina)

[Rob Cesternino]

Hey, everybody, what's going on? Rob Cisternino back on such an exciting eviction night Thursday of Big Brother 28. And boy, it just my heart goes out to Haley. She's been having a tough week and have her hoh not go the way she wanted to. Heart goes out thugs and prayers tonight as we welcome in our incredible panel and of course a man I'm sure who has so much to say about today. It's Taron Armstrong. How are you,

[Taran Armstrong]

Rob? You know, sometimes we're given things and when we're given things, we take them. And I'm taking tonight. This was a good night.

[Rob Cesternino]

We were have nots and tonight we came off the slope.

[Taran Armstrong]

We really did. You know, I, I, I feel like, you know, I, I, the blockbuster is blockbustering, man. Like these because we'll get into it but like this was a very this happened like three hours ago, this vote. So like this was good, good stuff.

[Rob Cesternino]

Okay, looking forward to breaking it all down here with us. Listen, there are survivors in the big brother house. There are survivors here on the eviction night recap from Survivor 42. Great friend of the pod, it's Omer Zaheer. Omer, how are you?

[Omer Zaheer]

I'm great. We just got thogged and also what a night for Jocasta because we are so used to giving to this show and finally we get to receive.

[Rob Cesternino]

Finally thrilled. Finally. How you doing, Omer?

[Omer Zaheer]

I'm doing great. And you know what? I am locked in on this BB season. I was a big BB fan all the way back to when your time of maybe going on BB2, BB3 and onwards. You lost me around BB16 which was boring as hell and now we are so back the last two seasons I have locked the fuck in.

[Rob Cesternino]

Please, please, no cursing. No cursing. Okay. All right. And then here with us, of course she is the queen of rhap social media. Please welcome back. Lavina. Pavel. Lavina, how are you?

[Lavina Haves]

Finally some good food. That's what I was saying before we went live. I was waiting for something. Like, give us something. Give me anything. I want to shit post on the account. I want to shit post on my own account. Like, thank God, finally. I'm so happy.

[Omer Zaheer]

I need to go off on that for a minute, though. I.

[Rob Cesternino]

Go off on what?

[Lavina Haves]

Go off?

[Omer Zaheer]

Because everybody, you know, last week at this very time, we are talking people off the ledge. This is the worst season ever. We have nothing to look forward to. Our lives are over. Nothing's ever going to happen. Are you new here?

[Lavina Haves]

Our lives are over.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah. Are they? Have they ever seen Big Brother before? The birthday week happened in week four. You know, these things happen early on and you just have to wait for it. And we. And you know what? When I was talking Kelly Wentworth off a ledge when Haley won HOH last week, I said, no, this dog is crazy and she is going to get the worst case of HOH itis. And look where we are now.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. No, it's such a good point about Haley's week and really that we had to be reminded of it by the announcer fog's tyrannical tour of terror kicked off. Remember that?

[Lavina Haves]

They hate her bad. They hate that woman bad. Like, out the gate. Out the gate. It was like the first word you knew.

[Rob Cesternino]

It was a good night. Taryn. When the announcer guy called her thog in the opening five seconds.

[Taran Armstrong]

I mean, that had to be so confusing for people who only watch the show.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yes, because it sounds like a slur, like I was confused at. And then I really embraced it after I realized the origin, but it took time.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yep. So. All right. We have a lot to unpack. We will talk with Lyric tomorrow morning. There is a wall comp coming up. We are anticipating that that will come on after the west coast airing of Big Brother tonight. So look for a wall comp to play out live on the feeds. I'm sure Taran will be live and streaming in but a couple of hours for everybody who is either coast or is cracking open a Red Bull. Puya,

[Lavina Haves]

a coffee and a Red Bull. Get it right.

[Rob Cesternino]

You got to.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yes, it is. It's pretty late for the east Coast. You'd anticipate it's going to be about an hour. That's about how long they have been lately. Maybe like an hour 40 at most. So take that into account if you want to stay up tonight.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yep. Okay. So, Taran, I think we kind of need to start with the Anatomy of how this came together, that as of last night, we did the podcast, we were saying goodbye to the Drew and Melody showmance. One of them was going home. This was going to be it. Lyric was safe no matter what in all scenarios. And then by the time the feeds ended up going down and the episode came on, Lyric was in big trouble. Mr.

[Taran Armstrong]

Listen, don't threaten to take away all of Big Brother's showmances. It will find a way. No, I. So, so De came up with the idea, as we saw in the episode, that she wanted to keep Drew around. And we've been talking about this all week. Like, why are they taking Drew out? He is a number for them, and it doesn't make much sense for them to be doing this. D essentially realized that, pitched it to Devins, pitched it to Angela. We saw this in the episode. What they didn't show us in the episode is that this pitch that they made to Haley up in the hoh room, it worked flawlessly. Haley thought she came up with the idea to keep Drew against Melody. The problem was Camus did not want to keep Drew against Lyric. Camus was convinced that they need to break up the Showmans. One of Drew or Melody needs to go, which means if Melody wins the blockbuster, Drew gets evicted against Lyric. Dee did not like that Camus was getting in the way of what she wanted. And so she bided her time yesterday and today, hours before the eviction, she went to Devin's and said, I want to flip this whole thing. I want. I want to. If they want to keep Lyric, I want to vote Lyric out. And I don't care if they know or not. And Devin's chaos agent that he is was like, all right, I can't resist a good blind side. I'm in. They talked to Angela, who had the same reaction of, like, crazy eyes, like, we're going to do something big. Like, yes, I'm in. And so they got Barrett, they got Mallory, they filled Druin, and they planned to blindside the other side. Not just to keep Drew against Lyric, but D also just kind of on a whim was like, might as well keep Melody, too, I guess. Yeah, might as well just vote out Lyric in every scenario. And that one almost didn't come together, but as we saw, it did.

[Rob Cesternino]

Okay. And I think it's worth exploring of. Just because you could doesn't mean that you should. Omer, what do you think? Was this the right move keeping Melody in this scenario?

[Omer Zaheer]

You know, I think, you know, it was the right move for Us. Right. Sure.

[Lavina Haves]

No doubt that matters.

[Omer Zaheer]

But I think. I think that Taran has hit it on the head in the live streams that I have or the live feed updates that I've listened to in that if you're going to go after Drew, let it happen organically. Why are you trying to manufacture this to make it happen? And then when he's already up, now you're going to save him, and then you're. You're already. So for the vets right now, they are, like, in the center of everything, and they're totally fine. So why are you messing up the status quo and pissing off the red corner when they're doing everything you want? It just seems a little reckless. But now they have so many people on the other side on their side. I think this was a terrible move for Angela because Haley was locked in with Angela, but it's great for us. I'm not convinced it's the best move.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Omer Zaheer]

That they could have made.

[Rob Cesternino]

And again, I'm happy. I like Drew and Melody on the show. I think that there was a lot of upside in keeping Drew without Melody because where else was he going? He was really going to be locked in. But now you kind of keep that side intact. And we find out, Lavina, that Mel, that Lyric tells us that her nominations were going to be Drew and Barrett.

[Lavina Haves]

Even Julie is like, girl, girl. That's crazy.

[Taran Armstrong]

She messed up the question, though. She literally just got done telling Lyric that Drew and Barrett were part of the alliance that kicked her out. So, like, I feel like it was a tainted answer.

[Lavina Haves]

But still, like, you, it's. I guess it's, like, frustrating because, again, I'm not in the house. I'm going to give them grace. But it's like, how do you not say, let me target the reality tv. That's like, to me, that's crazy.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Lavina Haves]

As a person who's team fun feeds, like, I'm like, put the vets up.

[Taran Armstrong]

Like, I don't get it.

[Rob Cesternino]

I had felt like that for the other side to have a chance, Lyric did need to go because she could definitely, definitely win an HOH and help to dismantle the other side of the house and try to appease the powers that be.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yes, I do think so. And. And in many ways like, that, it was dangerous to have Lyric there in that she might have tried to keep her roster around her roster, by the way, the three votes that kept her.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Medical Disclaimer Voice]

And.

[Taran Armstrong]

And maybe the appeasement is not going after her friends, not going after her roster. That does kind of leave the vets as another option and the Drews and the Barrett's. I don't think she would have gone after Barrett because of Mallory. But. But it also leaves potentially like the Lalas and the Taylors around and that's it. It was just, it was a little sketchy in that sense. The problem is that a problem for the vets if they're able to stay off of lyrics block. Not really. But. But Rob, I agree this was not a good move from from the vets to Blindside because they could have convinced red corner that this was fine. I, I absolutely the red corner so easily manipulated. They could have convinced them to do this. They would have been okay with it. But they do have a contingency plan, something that they think will will get them through this without any blame which is just lie about their votes.

[Rob Cesternino]

Right?

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Omer Zaheer]

There's not enough. Where's the votes?

[Lavina Haves]

There's everyone looked. So the way everyone was like, like the way Devins and I think wait was like what even happened? Like that's crazy. Like I'm like guys, it was like two votes.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Omer Zaheer]

Chuck is trying to convince D he didn't. He voted the way for Melody and it's like she didn't vote with you, Chuck. You just, you can't keep up.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. Is this the plan that sort of just like buy their time through the HOH competition in a couple of hours and then maybe the plan is figure out then the other side might win the hoh. We don't have to like try to come up with any other excuse.

[Taran Armstrong]

I would not say it was that sophisticated at the time that they came up with the flip. It was going to be 6, 5. It was going to be the three vets, Drew, Barrett and Mallory in this particular vote. And so there was a lot more room to play to lie about your vote. Yash could have voted the other way. Taylor, Lala. But they approached Taylor and Lala and they got their votes. So now there's nowhere to hide. I assume assume that the lying plan was at least somewhat called off at that point. But from the little I've seen from the feeds coming back already, it seems like Dee has already lied about her vote and Haley's already counting and saying somebody's not telling the truth.

[Lavina Haves]

This is brilliant. Honestly. D was giving very much. Like, I got bored and I ruined lunch. Like I truly, truly can always count on her. I've been saying this like she's like it's going too well. Throw a spanner in the works.

[Omer Zaheer]

I love It.

[Lavina Haves]

She did it for us.

[Omer Zaheer]

We needed it. We needed it. And also it's kind of ironic. I love irony. It's my favorite thing. Alanis Morissette. But the best part of this is that who is Drew's closest ally other than Melody? It's Barret. And Barrett has known for days that Drew is going home. And when this whole house plan flips to save Drew, who's the one person who did jack shit? Barrett. Like that's, that's irony and I love it.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Taran Armstrong]

And listen, we've all been dunking on Barrett all week long. He's not been doing anything to save Drew. Now who's laughing? Didn't want to do anything.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. That's just like he drew it up. Now I'd love to know Haley's perspective on this. Of course she had a all time reaction to seeing what happened in the vote when she did not get expect that Lyric was going to leave. She was in the dark. But Taryn, we did talk about it this week that it seemed like that she kind of liked the idea of Lyric going. Although I guess is her hatred of Melody more.

[Taran Armstrong]

No, but that's. That's kind of what I mean is she would have been on board if they had pitched it to her and strongly enough I think she absolutely would have been okay with it. Instead they decided to blindside her and potentially ruin their relationship with an incredibly valuable player. It's kind of wild and. But, but boy was that a great reaction because it was like delayed. Like she like heard the vote. It was like yeah, 8 to 3. Wait.

[Lavina Haves]

Face crack of the century.

[Taran Armstrong]

Which name so good.

[Lavina Haves]

She's gonna have a bad week. A fourth.

[Omer Zaheer]

A fourth week. But she also. The thing is she hated. She hated Melody. She's so jealous of Lyric. But if there's anything but. But thog doesn't hate or be jealous of anyone more than she loves herself. And so her just being left out of this, that is what probably hurts her the most. She doesn't care that Lyric goes home.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Rob Cesternino]

It's gonna be fascinating to see how the icons deal with this and how they try to put the pieces back together in terms of like I feel like that where they will is that if the. If Chuck or Camu or even Yash wins hoh. I think they're going to say they got tricked.

[Omer Zaheer]

I think that. Oh yeah, accelerated.

[Lavina Haves]

They're down.

[Omer Zaheer]

They're going up on the block. But. But Rick will save them with his veto. But like this is really going to

[Rob Cesternino]

have an insurance policy.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yes. It's going to happen quicker. And you know what? Angela's probably going to be the one to pay. Probably at the hands of Drew, which also will be ironic, but she's gonna go.

[Lavina Haves]

We might get Crazy Eyes 2.0, though. Like, everything's like, like Lazy Eyes, not Crazy Eyes.

[Taran Armstrong]

What this has done is set us up for a war on the wall tonight. The entire house flipped on the red corner. And so up on that wall, it's gonna be everyone against Kamu, Chuck, maybe Yash. Like Yash becomes a bit of a wild card in this situation. Not in on this vote. I assume they tried to pitch it to him and he declined planning to. He was very pro lyric. He had made a final two with her. He might be feeling pretty upset. And if Yash were to win, he might think, I want to keep the. The red corner strong and go after somebody else. Yash is a bit of a wildcard here. Not to mention Kamu on the wall could certainly have a shot. So it's gonna be. And. And Drew was just pumping them up like It's. It's like 13. Like there's like, there's a bunch of us against just a couple of them. We just need to beat them out on the wall. We've seen this kind of thing before. Of course, Big Brother 25 had a big blind side leading into the wall, so it's gonna be a big one.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. And they are aware it's a wall comp coming up tonight. They've been. They were speculating, but they're convinced now.

[Taran Armstrong]

They've been speculating that they're not convinced, as far as I'm aware, that they don't really know what's coming other than just like, it's. We got a war ahead of us. We got. We got a bunch of people facing off against them. But. But once they see the wall, you know, game on.

[Rob Cesternino]

I was wondering last night if Dee would go all out to try to win an HOH in this spot, but I do kind of think that maybe she might be activated to try to win the wall comp.

[Omer Zaheer]

He has to for sure.

[Taran Armstrong]

Not a single person in this game should not be trying to win this HOH right now. It's such a volatile time. Whoever wins gets to set the story of what just happened happened. If Kamu wins, everyone's like, oh, my God, what? I got tricked. So it wasn't me. Screw this whole, like, I don't even know how that happened. If Mallory wins, it's. Yeah, sorry, guys. You suck. Sucks to suck.

[Omer Zaheer]

If he wasn't such a piece of Kamu, winning would actually be kind of funny in the spot, but no, thanks.

[Lavina Haves]

Yeah, it's really hard for me to not watch the chat like it's a live feed update right now, but a lot is happening.

[Taran Armstrong]

They're saying that right now Haley believes.

[Lavina Haves]

Yeah.

[Taran Armstrong]

That Dee and Angela voted with her and that Kamu and Chuck, they.

[Rob Cesternino]

They did Haley.

[Lavina Haves]

I couldn't have drafted it better.

[Rob Cesternino]

You know, Tara, I was disappointed that they didn't include the exchange between Dee and Haley where D got. They. They shared a little bit of that conversation, but they didn't include the whole part where D got Haley to sort of parrot it back. And then Haley was like, oh, my God, you're so. You're so smart.

[Lavina Haves]

Yeah.

[Medical Disclaimer Voice]

They.

[Taran Armstrong]

They walked right up to it, and then they turned around and went home. They missed such a great scene. I kind of understand why they didn't include it. It would have been a little confusing to see that Haley was on board for the Drew save and then watch them get blindsided. And also, theoretically, they also didn't know.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Taran Armstrong]

That this flip, like, this flip, like I said, happened hours ago. This was likely edited back. When will they agree to save Drew? Was the final question.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah, Sunday night. We'll get more of this. But, Omer, I think that what would have really helped to sell all of this, we needed D and Devins in the diary room together.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yes. We would love these two coming together after they blindsided each other on 50. What a great story. And I will say be on the

[Rob Cesternino]

coconut phone talking to each other.

[Omer Zaheer]

That's reheating Will and Boogie, right?

[Rob Cesternino]

Yes.

[Omer Zaheer]

But you know what? I will say Survivor casting, bring two people over. You could pick people that are not the vibe of this show. They picked two people that are perfect for the show, and I thought it was excellent.

[Rob Cesternino]

Did they call you for season 28, a Big Brother homer?

[Omer Zaheer]

I just. I. I told them I would be a simp for Angela, and so I. I wouldn't be the best tv.

[Lavina Haves]

I need. I kind of need this now. Go on Big Brother Omer one day.

[Omer Zaheer]

You know, actually famously, Arissa Cox once told me I should apply to Big Brother Canada, and I said maybe.

[Rob Cesternino]

Hey, they're working on a new cast. Look, this is a big hit. Maybe that's what they do. The Canadian survivors.

[Omer Zaheer]

Oh, my God. Yeah. Marianne and I, in that we would strangle each other.

[Taran Armstrong]

They'll give you a free blood veto.

[Omer Zaheer]

But you know who I'm all in on now, though? I am all in on Haley. And I have to say, I am too. It's not that I like her. I love to hate her. And she is so effortlessly unlikable. You know Know how you have Parvati and Tyson and they just have natural charisma? Haley has the exact opposite of that. She is so unlikable just by existing. I have come so far around that I kind of love her now.

[Lavina Haves]

I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I need all four feeds on her and Ka Mu all week because apparently I'm sorry, I can't stop reading the chat, but she's blaming Kaamu for this flip presently.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Lavina Haves]

Brilliant.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Omer Zaheer]

She should love. Yeah. Yeah.

[Lavina Haves]

They're the faute. Oh my God.

[Taran Armstrong]

Like who?

[Ad Voice]

Who?

[Taran Armstrong]

Guys, she did something like. Like who made this happen?

[Lavina Haves]

Who flipped was better. It was right there. Yeah, it was right there.

[Rob Cesternino]

It is wild to think that after all this of that Camus has a thing for Lyric, that he masterminded her ouster also.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah. And you think that would make her love him now because.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yes. You chose me.

[Omer Zaheer]

Exactly.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. Okay, that's. But that's what's great about thog.

[Rob Cesternino]

Should we talk about the actual blockbuster? It was a product placement for? There's a new Paw Patrol movie coming out. Paw Patrol. Dino. Dino.

[Omer Zaheer]

Paw Patrol.

[Rob Cesternino]

The Dino movie.

[Omer Zaheer]

Oh, I knew Drew was gonna win that because he screams Paw Patrol ass. You look at him and you know he's a Paw Patrol fan and. Yeah. But anyways, if they need. Yeah, if they need any, Anyone to put any of those dogs down, just let me know.

[Rob Cesternino]

You would put down the dog? Any of the dogs in the Paw Patrol.

[Omer Zaheer]

You know who I put down first? Rubble.

[Rob Cesternino]

Rubble. On the double.

[Omer Zaheer]

On the double.

[Lavina Haves]

You know, just so everyone knows. Omar, I'm cutting you off, and I need to say this just so everyone knows. Before we went live, Omer's, like, had a long day. I was like, oh, my God, what did you do?

[Rob Cesternino]

No, you can't say this.

[Omer Zaheer]

No, you can. I'll get in trouble.

[Lavina Haves]

Okay.

[Rob Cesternino]

Don't get him in trouble. Yeah, okay.

[Omer Zaheer]

And it was a joke.

[Lavina Haves]

We'll never know.

[Rob Cesternino]

All right, so we had the full on Paw Patrol puzzle, and this did go down to the wire, or was. It seemed exciting, but we really only were watching one person, so I, I, it seemed like that Lyric was off to a good start, but then she really got in some. She could not place the bottom title card of the Paw Patrol.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah, that was, that was tricky. I mean, first of all, the Paw Patrol advertised, like, if you ever want any further proof that they're trying to, like, like, attract children to this show, like we're doing. We saw, we all saw the leak of their advertising thing. Right. Like, the average age of the viewer of this show is pretty old.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yes. You know, shout out to the guy

[Omer Zaheer]

in the chat that said, dog Patrol.

[Taran Armstrong]

Dog Patrol competition. The competition definitely suited Drew here. Those puzzle pieces. We watched Julie and Jay Moore compete on Instagram, and they both were struggling to, like, maneuver them. They seemed kind of not, like, super heavy, but, like, heavy enough that if you grab just one end, you have to drag it. You can't, like, lift it up unless you're grabbing both. Both ends. And so that combined with the running back and forth, Drew just, size wise, was gonna have a better time at this. And yet Lyric was doing better with the puzzle. Puzzle. She was planning it out better. He did not know where to put the pieces. She knew exactly where to put them. Initially, she wasn't able to map out the second layer, and that's where she

[Omer Zaheer]

started to lose it because it was fitting for her.

[Taran Armstrong]

Well, so what happened? First, she put the bottom piece upside down, which quite. Which ironically, is almost exactly what Julie and Jay did when they were testing it out. They put the bottom piece on top. She just put the bottom piece on the bottom, but upside down, which was. Was quite silly. Obviously, because there was an edge that she should have put there. And then, meanwhile, Drew was able to place it correctly and then start placing the other pieces. And the. The tricky part is that because the pieces are so big and unwieldy, once you start piling pieces on the playboard, it gets way harder to place the pieces because you have to push stuff out of the way in order to make room. And so I think that's what happened to Lyric. But it was hard to tell because we only got one angle for about, like, 30 seconds at the end, which was wild and should not happen.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. So they nailed it last week.

[Taran Armstrong]

Look, they did.

[Omer Zaheer]

That was a really good.

[Rob Cesternino]

It's the one complaint we have of the episode tonight. They didn't nail it on the wide shot.

[Lavina Haves]

I'm not paying. I'm paying half attention anyway. I'm staring at the middle of the screen and waiting for someone to call. Buzzer. That's what I'm doing every competition.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. It also seemed like Taryn that Drew buzzed in. They didn't give it to him. And then. Yeah, he went. And then he, like, tightened up his puzzle, and then he didn't hit the buzzer again. And seemed like they're like, ah, all right, fine.

[Omer Zaheer]

He got it.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah. So, I mean, I noticed this because when he was putting some of the pieces in, it seemed like at first they weren't fully. Because there were holes that the top pieces fit into. And so initially he was like, screw it. I'm just gonna leave it for now. And then he went back and tried to tighten everything, then hit his buzzer. So obviously he's thinking, if they didn't call it, maybe one of my pieces is still loose. So he goes to try to, like, jostle it to make sure they're tight. Tight. All tight up. But I think that he was. He had just won at that point, and they were just.

[Omer Zaheer]

There's an intern getting fired for not D5W' ing the holes. That was the issue.

[Rob Cesternino]

D5W' in.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yes. That's the lubricant. Do you know.

[Rob Cesternino]

Is that what they call it in Canada?

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah.

[Omer Zaheer]

You don't know what D5W is?

[Taran Armstrong]

We have.

[Rob Cesternino]

We call it WD40.

[Omer Zaheer]

Oh, you know what that is what it is. D5W is a type of fluid with. Okay. Yeah. Work. Yeah. Okay, you're right.

[Rob Cesternino]

What's D5W? What is D5W for?

[Lavina Haves]

I'm googling that right now.

[Omer Zaheer]

It is. It is a. It's a type of fluid that you give animals and people.

[Rob Cesternino]

Oh, okay, Okay.

[Omer Zaheer]

I just got dog.

[Taran Armstrong]

Just to be clear. Like, Omer. I don't know if everyone knows your profession. They might just think you put down animals.

[Lavina Haves]

Oh, they know.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Omer Zaheer]

Honk my beak.

[Lavina Haves]

Real look at him.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yep. Taryn, did Lyric know how much trouble she was in tonight?

[Taran Armstrong]

Not in the way that she should have. She had a general sense of paranoia for being on the block, as she described with Julie, but she was not aware of the shifting of things. She thought being on the block, I might just go home, period. And as things got closer and closer, she got more and more worried because fewer people were telling her she was okay. But. But what I was really hoping Julie would tell her was like. Like, you were actually good, like, three hours ago. And that's. And it changed just like that, because she does not know it was that close.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. What about for Melody?

[Commercial Announcer]

Did.

[Rob Cesternino]

Was she convinced she was leaving?

[Taran Armstrong]

Melody was very convinced she was leaving for a while. She knew that she. Because the Drew plan happened and Barrett knew last night. So Melody was kind of officially informed that she would leave over Drew and also assumed that she would leave over Lyric because that was the case. So she was under the assumption last night, coming into this morning, that she was done. And then Barrett's talking to Mallory about flipping the vote to keep Drew against Lyric, and she's like, what about me? And. And so she very last minute started to find out that she actually had a shot at staying against Lyric. But I don't know if she was ever fully informed. I assume she was, but I don't think we saw it on the feeds that she was ever given the heads up. Like, we locked in six votes.

[Rob Cesternino]

Okay. I'm really curious to know. So Lyric gives her speech. She's like, if you think it's good, you know, keep me. Then Melody, it's her turn to give her words to the house. She says this.

[Lavina Haves]

Julie, you look gorgeous.

[Taran Armstrong]

House guest.

[Lavina Haves]

I've had so much fun. I've had so much fun on the show.

[Omer Zaheer]

And.

[Rob Cesternino]

And Julie, no cursing, please. Okay. What did Melody say?

[Lavina Haves]

What the bleep?

[Taran Armstrong]

I think we know the answer to this, actually.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yes. What did she say, Taryn?

[Taran Armstrong]

She said, I. I've had so much fun.

[Rob Cesternino]

Oh, no cursing, please.

[Lavina Haves]

See, I. I thought it was like a Shima Simone situation.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yes, he did.

[Lavina Haves]

I was like, what did Lyrics say

[Taran Armstrong]

about Julie, whose Instagram? And he's

[Lavina Haves]

Frankie Grande. Don't listen to this man. Nothing he says is true.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. So. All right, Melody, try to keep it. Keep it family friendly. We're talking about the freaking Paw Patrol.

[Omer Zaheer]

Exactly.

[Rob Cesternino]

We're trying to get people to watch the Paw Patrol dino movie.

[Omer Zaheer]

They. You know what? You know, we need to find out by getting Chase on the case. He'll figure it out. If he'll figure this whole mess out.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. You know, of all of the Paw Patrol catchphrases, you know my favorite one is what? It's time.

[Omer Zaheer]

Do it again.

[Rob Cesternino]

It's drug time.

[Taran Armstrong]

You don't like this one?

[Rob Cesternino]

Her face is so poker. Poker.

[Omer Zaheer]

Is he talking about Lady Gaga?

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. I think that Chuck could be the new thug. He could be the person that we truly stand next to.

[Medical Disclaimer Voice]

He.

[Omer Zaheer]

He reminds me so much of. Who's that girl that looked like a porcupine from season 14?

[Lavina Haves]

The girl Bowie Jane.

[Rob Cesternino]

Oh, wait, season 14.

[Omer Zaheer]

She won.

[Taran Armstrong]

Juan.

[Omer Zaheer]

Veto.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yes.

[Omer Zaheer]

Jess City. That's Chuck Porcupine.

[Taran Armstrong]

It's a very important veto. She won.

[Lavina Haves]

I actually knew a porcupine Bowie Jane immediately.

[Omer Zaheer]

And I worked at a zoo and we had a porcupine named Hawthorne. So I would always call her that.

[Rob Cesternino]

Call it Jane.

[Omer Zaheer]

And nobody understood except. Except me. And I knew that that's a porcupine as bitch right there.

[Rob Cesternino]

Okay, let's talk. Let's talk about the votes because that the votes were coming in. Lyric, lyric, lyric, lyric, lyric. Tara. We saw it when they put Taylor and Lala back to back. Taylor seemed to make sure that Lala was locked. Locked the F in before she voted.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah. So when the feeds cut, Taylor had been informed, like I said, about the Drew versus lyric vote, but had not been told about the melody versus lyric vote. But they were talking about going to Taylor, Lala and Yash last minute to try to let them know that the votes were there. I assume that's what happened with Taylor. And. And Taylor was just trying to make sure that Lala knew where they were actually going. I'm still very curious to know what happened with Yash, if they ended up not approaching him or if he just declined. But yeah, that, you know, you want to make sure that there's no Ashley moments here.

[Omer Zaheer]

No Ashley moments gonna land in this game. Like, I want everybody's prediction 5.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah, she's going deep.

[Omer Zaheer]

I think she's a double eviction boot.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Lavina Haves]

Either that or it's giving Victoria BBC.

[Omer Zaheer]

I had a premonition Chuck was going to win and I haven't stopped thinking about it. I'm so worried for us.

[Rob Cesternino]

Wow.

[Lavina Haves]

Honestly, I saw your tweet earlier and I was like, it's time.

[Taran Armstrong]

I did pick him on my draft, so he does have A higher likelihood of winning.

[Rob Cesternino]

I'm down a person. Lyric I was feeling so good about. Lyric got got sniped. I do feel like that Lyric did have a lot of upside. I feel like that she did not flame out. I think that they should find another show for her. I don't know, Omer. Where should they put her in the CBS universe?

[Omer Zaheer]

In the CBS universe. I think that we gotta go and put her on. Well, okay. The natural. The boring answer is the amazing ways. Erase with no.

[Rob Cesternino]

That's a waste.

[Omer Zaheer]

But I want to see her on. Like, let's. Let's bring that show back. Pirate master.

[Rob Cesternino]

Put her on there. Yeah, she could do it.

[Omer Zaheer]

She could do.

[Taran Armstrong]

It's not cbs, but obviously Love island is where she should be.

[Rob Cesternino]

She would be exploring. Although she's in love with Rome, she's got a man. Yeah, I. I just thought she was so capable. Like, ultimately she was. She just, like, wasn't loyal to. Aside. Like, she was just such a. Like a rogue agent that could go in any direction that.

[Taran Armstrong]

To. Yeah. To be fair to her too, like, almost every other version of this is. Is a version where it worked out like, she just happened to run into, like, the one player in Haley who. Who is, like, in a situation where she's a little jealous of the. The whole Kamu thing and is willing to just, like, completely out. Like, most people when you throw your friends under the bus are, like, brilliant. This is great. They don't say that was lame of you to do. Why don't you do that? And then rat you out to your friends?

[Omer Zaheer]

Like, she did such a good job getting herself off the block a couple of weeks ago. But the thing is, you can kind of, you know, work with Haley without directly throwing your closest allies under the bus, Especially after they just saw how they. She played them about the Rome thing. Like, it is. She was. She did that. She reminded me of Vince a little bit. Because Vince, if you think about Big Brother, it's like, tell people what they want to hear. But Vince took that to the extreme, and Lyric took self preservation to the extreme. And it's like, it's not always in your best interest to be. So you have to show something to some people.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah, it was.

[Taran Armstrong]

It was a little too desperate and transparent. Like, what happened was it was the night before the replacement nominee was to be named. And all of a sudden she's coming up to Haley and Chuck and Kamu saying Mallory's. Because Mallory was the other option. She's saying, Mallory's gonna put all three of you on the block. And it's like, if you're gonna do that. It needed to be seated properly. It was too last minute. It was too transparent. And it just. It gave Haley the opportunity to rat her out in the way that she did. Now, should Haley have done that if Lyric wasn't her target? Absolutely not. But it's Haley.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Lavina Haves]

I must speak on behalf of Team Chaos and say that I truly, truly appreciate how many people in this house are so fake. Everyone's a fake ass bitch. And I truly appreciate that. Just from a chaos standpoint, like, a lot of people were like, oh, now you know, Melody did this. She turned against her friend and blah, blah, blah. Doing it again now lyrics. Doing it. How could you? Like, you know, whatever good. I want everyone to be fake. All of the goodbye messages too. Like, who was Melody crying like, I love you so much. And every. And Haley's like, oh, my God, I cannot wait to talk to. Everyone's a fake ass bitch. And I love it. Thank you. Thank you so much, you guys.

[Omer Zaheer]

I love that you brought that up because Melody really was that person that was abandoning every single one of her allies. And then now she thinks that Lyric is literally the devil for doing so. That was crazy. But I did love Melody's veto reactions with the drinking of the thing. And I need to say this before I forget because Rob Cisternina know you are going to rhap live or con or whatever it's called in a couple of weeks time doing a live show. You need to do the poison bit with people.

[Taran Armstrong]

Oh, yeah.

[Omer Zaheer]

You know you need to do it. And I want to see your death scene because I think you could have done a way better job than Chuck.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Lavina Haves]

I don't trust women.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah.

[Rob Cesternino]

All right. Maybe we could add that to the lineup.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. Will you come to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, if we do that?

[Omer Zaheer]

I would really love to, but it's right in the middle of the work week.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. All right.

[Lavina Haves]

Phone you in.

[Rob Cesternino]

Phone you in. All right, let's. Speaking of R Hap, we had a vote in the voting booth tonight from the. The great Rick Devins.

[Sponsor Voice]

I vote to evict Lyric.

[Ad Voice]

Thank you.

[Taran Armstrong]

I love you, Becca.

[Sponsor Voice]

Jack Juju. Mom, dad.

[Omer Zaheer]

Tony Kornheiser.

[Rob Cesternino]

R Hap. Yes.

[Medical Disclaimer Voice]

Yes.

[Lavina Haves]

Our hop.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah, There you go. Right after.

[Taran Armstrong]

You were like fifth on the list,

[Rob Cesternino]

I think it was. I might have been sixth.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah, but you weren't counting, though.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah, we will take it.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Omer Zaheer]

He doesn't know that you've already changed it to our hat though, with Rob has a Thug.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yes. Right after Tony Cornheiser.

[Omer Zaheer]

Who's that?

[Rob Cesternino]

He is a famous talk show or is. He's a famous sports writer. He's been on ESPN forever. His radio show, Rick Devins actually shouted him out in the edge of Extinction, aware that he won a challenge, and he shouted out one of Tony Kornheiser's catchphrases. La Cheesary.

[Omer Zaheer]

Oh, that's where that's from. Also bring back. Bring Ream on to big brother.

[Rob Cesternino]

Ream would be good. But yeah, appreciate. Appreciate Rick Devins fitting us in.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah.

[Lavina Haves]

I tweeted we love you back.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yes.

[Lavina Haves]

From the account. So he'll see it.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yes.

[Omer Zaheer]

Wait, which. Which shout out did you like better? That one or BB Unlocked where I literally. I. I was. It was a jump scare to see you on there.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yes. Why? You weren't ready for.

[Omer Zaheer]

I wasn't ready. I didn't know it was happening. And then it happened and I was like. It was like the Paw Patrol movie.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. Well, I knew that was gonna happen. The one that was really wild to me that night was when Rick Devin suggested that I might be one. When Angelo thought that Rob was going to come out.

[Ad Voice]

Oh.

[Rob Cesternino]

And he thought me instead of.

[Taran Armstrong]

I know. I was. I think I literally said that night. I was like, I wonder if that's the first time maybe Boston Rob has been on the other side of the wrong Rob equation.

[Rob Cesternino]

If he's not unlocked this season, they should ask him about it.

[Lavina Haves]

It's me and Rick Debbins. I'm always saying. Cesternino first.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yep. But that was not. There was not the only iconic shout out of the night tonight because Yash got to vote. Also, I vote to evict Melody.

[Ad Voice]

Thank you.

[Rob Cesternino]

Shout out Chipotle.

[Omer Zaheer]

Chipotle is my life.

[Lavina Haves]

Can I just say, like, secure the bag. Brilliant work. And Yash is giving very much. Like, Like, I'm starting to worry that my love for him is not irony anymore.

[Rob Cesternino]

Nothing change your love for Yash.

[Lavina Haves]

I'm just not even mad about it anymore. And I truly feel like, you know that meme when people are like, oh, this is so, like, Dubai chocolate Labubu. Like, that's Yash.

[Omer Zaheer]

Doesn't that give you salmonella?

[Lavina Haves]

Amazing. Dubai chocolate.

[Omer Zaheer]

There's a recall.

[Taran Armstrong]

Listen, I. I gotta be honest. I. No joke. I'm having chipotle tonight.

[Rob Cesternino]

Chipotle is my life. Yes.

[Taran Armstrong]

Like, there's too much going on. I can't cook tonight. I gotta get the chipotle.

[Lavina Haves]

Wait, what's your order?

[Taran Armstrong]

We need to know your order, Burrito chicken, a double chicken, rice, cheese, veggies. It's pretty basic.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. Did you secure the bag?

[Taran Armstrong]

Not yet, but hopefully soon.

[Lavina Haves]

Feel free. Promo.

[Omer Zaheer]

I unapologetically hate chipotle. And you know what? You're the devil in disguise. That's what you are. Taran, for loving that shit. But you know what? I will say that was a great use of a shout out because, Lala, you do it annoying just like everybody else. Yash, that's how you do it.

[Rob Cesternino]

That's how you do it. Omer, what's your opinion on Yash?

[Omer Zaheer]

You know what? I was so excited to see that there was a dropout so I could bring my countrymen in and, like, really root for him. And then it was like, he's not one. Like, that's not us, you know, at first, but now he really is coming to his own. He seems like he knows what he's doing. And I could see him. The thing is, I was like, him and Taylor are in a similar position. A few weeks ago, I was like, taylor has more smarts, game smarts and sense than Yash does, but doesn't have as much of the good position, whereas Yash is in a little bit of a better position but doesn't have the game sense. And now he seems to be getting it. Although Angela's on his ass and, you know, she's on the case, so I don't know how it's going to go, but I could see having winner upside.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. Taryn, could you see this potentially being the undoing of Yash? Him being on the wrong side of this 8 to 3 vote, it is very bad.

[Taran Armstrong]

It is definitely bad.

[Rob Cesternino]

It flew too close to the sun.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah. Because like, you really tend to do in these big moments, you tend to divide by those divisions. If somebody from the voting group that voted for Melody to stay, which is eight people, plus Melody herself makes nine people. Like, if any of them win, there's four people on the other side. There's Haley, Chuck, Kamu and Yash. How many nominations do you often make? In the Blockbuster era? You make four. It's not great.

[Omer Zaheer]

He'll stay against all of them, though. He needs to do the Dan Dieseling thing now, you know? You know, tuck his tail between his legs, be like, I'm so sorry, Lyric, she. She really lured me in and I was really loyal to her. As a final two, I'm so sorry. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Don't forget about it by next week. Except for Angela.

[Rob Cesternino]

How about Lyric voting for Rome way back when? I know Taylor did a hinky vote that night, but I think that everybody pretty much believed that she did vote for Rock World. Did that hurt her reputation in the house as being somebody who's just so self interested?

[Omer Zaheer]

If they believe.

[Taran Armstrong]

I don't think it helped.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah, definitely.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah, they believed her. And. And it was talked about, like, I. I think even today, because when. When Mallory found out today that. That they were voting for Drew to stay over Lyric, she was, like, upset about it. Like, she was happy because that this meant that, like, the vets were drawing a line and this was good for her game because it was. But she was still very, as you saw it in the diary room when she cast the vote, which, by the way, like, that's what it looks like when somebody is actually sad to vote somebody out. I sadly vote to evict. But she was genuinely really sad and had to start sort of like talking herself into, well, I can't trust Lyric. You know, like, she did do that, and she didn't even vote for Rome to stay. And like, that was kind of one of the things that she was using to justify the. The vote out for. For Lyric. And so, you know, yeah, little things like that. I think she absolutely could have voted for Rome today. Would not have been a big deal.

[Omer Zaheer]

You know what they say is if you're loyal to everyone, you're loyal to no one. And if you're loyal to no one, you're also loyal.

[Rob Cesternino]

Both things. Yeah. Omer, did you happen to catch the news item about Lyric admitting to peeing in the shower to spite the other house guests?

[Omer Zaheer]

I didn't know.

[Rob Cesternino]

You didn't know about that.

[Lavina Haves]

There's a TMZ article.

[Rob Cesternino]

I think it was the New York. I think this is the New York Post. I don't know if TMZ had it. Also, I think.

[Lavina Haves]

I swear I saw tmz.

[Omer Zaheer]

Isn't that okay? I am not, I will say on the record, I am not a PMZ in the shower type of person, but when I found out this was like, a behavior people performed, I was shocked to find out it's normal. So why is this front page news?

[Lavina Haves]

You were shocked that people pee in the shower?

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah, but, like, I went through the shock about years ago. So why is this the front page news?

[Rob Cesternino]

What's the big deal? Did have it too. I stand corrected. Yeah. So, yes, she told Mallory. She pulled Mallory aside. She's like, hey, I have a secret to tell you. I pee in the shower ever. I've peed in the shower every single time. Which in Tara. She wasn't even on the block until week two.

[Omer Zaheer]

I thought her secret was that her real name was Jill. Crazy.

[Lavina Haves]

Did she say that?

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah, like Jack and Jill.

[Rob Cesternino]

Okay. All right. So there. There you go.

[Rob Cesternino]

Let's have a lyrics conversation with Julie Chen Moonves and she's. She's so grateful. But Julie is going to ask her who were the three votes to keep.

[Taran Armstrong]

You lose pop quizzes. These people.

[Rob Cesternino]

She wants to know.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah, she, you know, and I feel like she should just tell him. She should just because it's also like so out of context. It's like, yeah, Chuck and. And Kamu and Yash voted to keep her, but Yash is probably the only one that would have done so even knowing that she didn't have the like, Yash is the only one that actually stood up for her in a serious way. Chuck and Kamu just didn't realize that the votes weren't there. Like, it's not that meaningful but. But it always feels meaningful when Julie, you know, proposes it like this raw.

[Omer Zaheer]

Only Rob will get this reference. But it's like when on Survivor Thailand, your favorite season when Jeff was like, hey Jan, what goes with nachos? And then she was like, beer. He's like, no enchiladas and like no woman margaritas. That's what it's like when Julie, he said no woman. Yeah.

[Lavina Haves]

Jeff pro said No, I don't know

[Rob Cesternino]

if that's the right quote.

[Omer Zaheer]

We'll pull the clip.

[Taran Armstrong]

Listen, like his nerdy ass.

[Ad Voice]

I don't know.

[Lavina Haves]

Sorry.

[Omer Zaheer]

Okay. He said dig, woman. Famously. Yeah.

[Rob Cesternino]

All right. So Lyric was very emotional with Julie Taran. We usually don't see too many people crying with Julie.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah. I think Lyric was already feeling very emotional and then. But like, she was trying to leave like, like quickly because she didn't want to get emotional. But then like, Mallory and Melody kind of like pinned her down, like crying with her, and that started to get her emotional. And so when Julie talked about, like, who voted for you, it, you know, you. It just like you start to feel that swell of like, oh, these people did want me here. They were supporting me. And I think that that just kind of got her.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. This was the end of the line for the Littles Lavina. I was happy even though that there was between Melody throwing Mallory under the bus and then famously Lyric throwing Mallory under the bus this week that I feel like that they left on pretty good terms.

[Lavina Haves]

Yeah. And it's like I said earlier, I love fake ass bitches, but it's just a game, right? Like, make good tv, be a fake ass bitch in the game and still come out out with your friends. And I really believe that they will be friends. I don't think it's going to be any hard feelings.

[Rob Cesternino]

Taryn. I loved when you called them the three women from the White Lotus season three.

[Taran Armstrong]

So it's so apt.

[Rob Cesternino]

It really is so good.

[Omer Zaheer]

Why do they call her the Pipe Queen? Is it because the challenge or because she has guns? And also, why does she look like Tumbleweed from Mario Party?

[Taran Armstrong]

It's from the challenge, but also she does have guns.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. I don't know. Tumbleweed.

[Omer Zaheer]

Tumbleweed.

[Taran Armstrong]

I. I didn't know.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah.

[Lavina Haves]

Let me look this up.

[Rob Cesternino]

Bring that up. Who wore it better? Okay. So that she gets asked about throwing her alliance under the bus and Lyric does clock. It is a six person alliance. Just. It's actually an eight person alliance.

[Lavina Haves]

Yeah.

[Taran Armstrong]

The one that just blew up because of this vote. How is this going to work? Like, Julie, like, this is not helping.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yes. You. There was an eight person alliance. I know. You were voted out eight to three. It was not the eight person alliance that voted.

[Taran Armstrong]

Right.

[Omer Zaheer]

Also, Jason called out the eight last week. It's not like it's new news. Julie.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. She's like, they were in the room together. Okay. I did not like this question from Julie that she asked Lyric, did you lose your footing when Rome got voted out. And I would say she played better when Rome got voted out.

[Lavina Haves]

Yeah, it was kind of a not. I mean, I'm not going to say a non factor. I think there was some like. Like, they're like putting them in the same category, whatever you want to call it. The same with Jason too. I just don't like the implication that a woman in a showman's is going to just struggle and be that damsel and destroy distressed. If she was a damsel in distress, she used it to her benefit.

[Taran Armstrong]

So.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah.

[Taran Armstrong]

I mean, she lost a number.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yes, exactly.

[Taran Armstrong]

She lost a number. But, yeah, it kicked her into playing even more. I just. I really. I would like to give a small update on the state of.

[Commercial Announcer]

Please.

[Taran Armstrong]

That Haley has said that she fully 100. A thousand percent will die on this. Hill knows that Angela is not lying to her.

[Omer Zaheer]

That's. That's our thought.

[Taran Armstrong]

And. And she's even come up with a new theory. We've never found out what these powers are. What if one of the powers was to flip a vote?

[Lavina Haves]

Oh, just one. Just one.

[Omer Zaheer]

Angeles. Just Angeles.

[Taran Armstrong]

She also believes D. She is believing both D and Angela. D Is playing into it. Like, oh, yeah, I know we're mad at Devin's, but we got to pretend to still be good with him because we need numbers.

[Omer Zaheer]

You know, when you said their plan was to lie about the. You know, I stand corrected it.

[Taran Armstrong]

I know, right?

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Lavina Haves]

So who do we want to win hoh for maximum chaos at this.

[Omer Zaheer]

Mallory.

[Taran Armstrong]

Mallory's. Mallory's been my pick. I can't. I can't go off of Mallory.

[Omer Zaheer]

I think she also will win. It's the wall comp. She's small and strong, and I think that she's going to do really well. And if I may say, and I'm really sorry to say this, Lavina, I think. I can't think of a person I think would be worse on the wall than you.

[Rob Cesternino]

Really?

[Lavina Haves]

You know what? He's not wrong.

[Omer Zaheer]

Exactly.

[Lavina Haves]

I'm like, I have to go pee. Like, I have to do something else. It wouldn't even be like, I'm tired. I would just get bored and. And just drop. I would hit him with the Jessica Milagros and just scream.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah. Has anyone either their pants in one of these endurance comps? They must have done it.

[Rob Cesternino]

I mean, famously. Yeah.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah.

[Rob Cesternino]

But I'm not sure about it. On the wall comp. And it's usually. It's so wet and goopy, it would be hard to tell, I think.

[Omer Zaheer]

G. Where did they pee when they were in the box for 15 hours on Big Brother 6.

[Rob Cesternino]

Oh, well, they did.

[Lavina Haves]

Didn't. Or did they pee in a cup?

[Taran Armstrong]

They did.

[Lavina Haves]

I don't remember.

[Taran Armstrong]

Right. They certainly did in Big Brother 5

[Rob Cesternino]

and certainly in the Big Brother 25 pressure cooker. Right. There were many that. There were many stories of the.

[Taran Armstrong]

There were. There was peeing in the. In the big brother 25.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. No, I don't think so.

[Lavina Haves]

I was like, y' all didn't even let us peep when we did the rhap pressure cooker.

[Omer Zaheer]

Oh, but you could easily hide a bottle.

[Taran Armstrong]

Didn't let you.

[Lavina Haves]

Exactly. Come on.

[Taran Armstrong]

Didn't let you in. The same way they didn't let the pressure cooker is up to you.

[Omer Zaheer]

Did Bowie Jane do it or no? You know what? I'll find out later.

[Rob Cesternino]

Only in the shower. Okay. All right. We had goodbye messages. Nothing too interesting in the goodbye messages, right?

[Omer Zaheer]

No.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Omer Zaheer]

I don't even remember them.

[Taran Armstrong]

They were filmed before the flip happened.

[Omer Zaheer]

Right.

[Taran Armstrong]

None of them even knew that this was a possibility.

[Rob Cesternino]

Julie asked about what's with Rome. Is that serious? She says, it's the real deal. I love Rome. And Julie got to ask again if she's coming to the wedding.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah. And this time she made sure she got the song right by asking Lyric to say it first.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yes. What song is your dad gonna sing? He only has one.

[Lavina Haves]

Julie, Is it ringing a bell for any of the viewers at all?

[Omer Zaheer]

Another two, I guess. It's an old crowd. So you either get the song or, you know. Paw Patrol. There's no.

[Rob Cesternino]

I think. Yeah, more the song than New Paw Patrol, I think.

[Lavina Haves]

Kids.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. By the way, Julie did her demo on social media, you mentioned, with Jay Moore. She referenced the curse Taryn, and she said, no, no, no, I'm not going to go from the middle position because that's. That's cursed. She actually, I believe, did she do her practice from Drew's position. And nobody did the demo from the lyric position. So the curse is officially broken.

[Taran Armstrong]

It's broken curse done. I think once. Once you acknowledge its presence, the anti curse toxins invade and it goes away

[Rob Cesternino]

like a no hitter.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah, apparently. Apparently I'm. I'm. I'm seeing that melody. Said the lyric fell during the blockbuster at one point. I don't think we saw cut away from it. I guess she like.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah, it's because we saw that one angle for too long.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rob Cesternino]

Okay. So Julie said, oh, we have a guest here who's going to be on Big Brother Unlocked. And my Head was ready to explode because I thought we were about to do a five minute segment with J. Moore.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah, me too.

[Rob Cesternino]

I was like, come on, like, read the room. This was such a great episode, such a great night. What are you doing? And Jay Moore is a comedian that he used to be on snl. He was in Jerry Maguire.

[Omer Zaheer]

Okay. I don't know what that is.

[Rob Cesternino]

And he's, he's been an actor in a bunch of things. I think he's a big sports fan. I guess he's a big, Big Brother fan. Also, if he's hanging out on the set and testing out.

[Taran Armstrong]

They were kind of, they were kind of joking about how much he knew about the show. As if he knows nothing about the show though.

[Rob Cesternino]

Could be a friend of Jerry OConnell who happened to be in the building if I had to guess.

[Omer Zaheer]

He's a really big fan though. He's locked the in.

[Rob Cesternino]

Who, Jerry o'. Connell.

[Lavina Haves]

Yeah, yeah, he's on chat bcc.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yes. And so then I thought we were going to get a Jay Moore interview a la Ross Matthews a couple of weeks ago, but instead, what a nice surprise. Here comes Josh Martinez King.

[Taran Armstrong]

Looking amazing.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Taran Armstrong]

Crushing it.

[Rob Cesternino]

It, yeah, it was a good spot for Josh.

[Taran Armstrong]

It was. I, I, I very happy to see Josh. Definitely better than Jay Moore. I still feel like, you know, this is probably better served on Unlocked than right after a bit Blindside, but it was certainly better than I expected.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah, like it does feel like that on a night like this, that there's probably more things that could have been served. Josh could come out and say love one another and say hey. Tune in for more with Josh on, on BB Unlocked.

[Lavina Haves]

It was nice to hear about his experience on, on the other, what is it called? Celebrity Big Brother Mexico. Is that what it is? Yeah. It was cool to hear about his experience on that. But yeah, I think the timing was just kind of off. But if it was anyone else like a D list, Z list celebrity, I would have been pissed.

[Rob Cesternino]

Still a great night.

[Medical Disclaimer Voice]

Yeah.

[Lavina Haves]

We love Josh.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yes. Okay. And we will see more from him on what should be a jam packed Big Brother Unlocked. Taryn, do you think that they will save things from. No, because they still, they're recording Big Brother Unlocked tonight. They won't have any other footage to show us. They'll save that for Sunday.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah, that's actually, I, I hadn't thought about that. But that might be true as well. I mean, I, I think they've probably got a little more flexibility for Unlocked in terms of what they can show they could probably string something together from. From the day because it doesn't need to fit into the overall storyline. They can just kind of throw a clip in so they can probably get some of it. But I assume we will also get a decent amount of it on Sunday.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah, I suspect. If anything, I think that they might give Lyric some more of the background information that you were talking about, like telling her, like, you know, you were safe until like, two hours ago. Right.

[Taran Armstrong]

You would hope.

[Rob Cesternino]

I don't know if they'll have video footage, but I think that they will probably talk about that. Plus, Selena S Titties will also be joining the panel on BB Online.

[Lavina Haves]

Our girl.

[Taran Armstrong]

It was a disaster that we. That we almost missed Mr. Here.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. Probably too short notice to get Rome in for the big reunion.

[Taran Armstrong]

Yeah, we're almost.

[Omer Zaheer]

Planes are fast. Private jets.

[Rob Cesternino]

Get them in on the Paramount private jet. Okay. All right, Taran, anything else from the hour or so of feeds that have gone down?

[Taran Armstrong]

It's. It's just, you know, the. Angela and D are working things. Devin's admitted to his vote, so they are mad at Devin's. They're mad at Barrett, who also admitted it. But again, because D and Angela kept the. Kept their mouth shut, they theoretically still have some sway with where things might go. Now, the. The problem is that Haley isn't really the issue. Haley can't win this hoh. The issue is Chuck or Kamu, who, if they win, they now have a lot more power to say no. I really did vote this way. You can't doubt me because I'm the hoh. So that's still certainly a concern. But. But D is apparently talking to the cameras right now, talking about how much fun she's having because Chuck is believing that Kamu's lying to him. And. And Haley believes that, you know, people are lying all over the place. And the dumb dumbs.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah, I take back everything about it being a bad move. They can do what clearly they can do whatever they want and it's gonna be fine.

[Taran Armstrong]

Truly. Not since level five have we had this kind of a blindside, who flipped kind of situation, honestly.

[Lavina Haves]

Like, if Haley truly, honestly believes that it is a power and someone on the other side does win, say Mallory wins and does put them up. Like, I just feel like the breakdowns that she's going to have are just going to be worse. So she's more than welcome to think that it's a power.

[Omer Zaheer]

She's probably not that worried because she also thinks that she's going to get America's power this week. So she's good.

[Lavina Haves]

Oh, my God. America loves her because she's so pretty.

[Rob Cesternino]

Okay. Actually, let's check in on the BB time capsule of where do we think it's going after? You would have to think it's going to one of the people that are from the other side. I think that Melody, Mallory, and Drew are certainly in contention.

[Taran Armstrong]

I think those are the three. I think what I've seen online is mostly Mallory because Melody was too risky. But I think the show has given us a lot of Melody in particular.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Taran Armstrong]

Drew hasn't had the best edit up until tonight, but tonight was big. Him crying over Melody. That's, I think, gonna do numbers for the casual vote. So it would not surprise me if Drew got it. It would not surprise me if Melody got it. And Mallory still in there with a shot.

[Rob Cesternino]

I think Mallory did not have a particularly big TV week. I'm trying to remember of she got thrown under the bus by Lyric, but really outside of that, she wasn't really featured too much.

[Omer Zaheer]

I think she was there saying, though, that she was like, haley, what are you talking about?

[Medical Disclaimer Voice]

A.

[Omer Zaheer]

A tough week.

[Rob Cesternino]

This is.

[Omer Zaheer]

I'll show you a tough week.

[Taran Armstrong]

I think people like, hey, she says this.

[Omer Zaheer]

No, I'm horrible because you're all ruining my life.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. Omer. Haley is expecting to get the BB time capsule this week.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. She's good because she knows she's gonna get it.

[Ad Voice]

If I have to be a to a, I will.

[Omer Zaheer]

Long time down. She's got this. I know where my 15 notes are now.

[Rob Cesternino]

Okay. Actually, there was another shout out that I forgot to mention, but this is an interesting one. Okay. We had Kamu goes to the diary room. He votes and then wants to shout out a big brother alumni. John 14:6. Frankie Grande, tell your sister to hit me up.

[Ad Voice]

Ooh.

[Rob Cesternino]

Okay. Now, Frankie Grande, in fairness to Camus, has been extremely active this season, tweeting about Kamu all season long. So that things, by the way, all

[Omer Zaheer]

things off with his hands.

[Lavina Haves]

God, that's a guy that I would love to date my sister.

[Taran Armstrong]

I would love.

[Omer Zaheer]

Right?

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. So Frankie Grande has been on Camu going back from when Kamu had made comments about how that. That he could. Jason could miss me with wearing a dress because he has a MMA reputation to uphold. And Frankie Grande was on him him for that. And then Frankie Grande. Frankie Grande was calling for him to be removed from the house for that executed.

[Taran Armstrong]

It's genuinely because, like, I rob it didn't Even cross my mind. I don't know why. But, like, when he said Frankie Grande, I was like, oh, yeah, of course. Because Jason knows Frankie. That's probably why he's. But he had no idea. No, this was. Jason was. Was referring to Frankie at the tea party when he said, I know people. I have friends that you would die guy to get in with. And here he is, unrelated in the confessional, calling out, Frankie, hit me. Get your sister to hit me up. That's. That's Wilde.

[Rob Cesternino]

Extremely active when all of the Kamu social media videos came to light, calling for him to be removed from the house and then kick his ass out. Yeah. He could not have picked a worse person to shout out and have people go look at what he said. Lavina, do you have a tweet? Yes.

[Lavina Haves]

Can I do the honors of reading it out loud, please?

[Rob Cesternino]

From Frankie Grande.

[Lavina Haves]

Frankie Grande's response to Ka Mu is, not a fucking chance. Kamu, you can eat my ass. Okay, and here's the picture.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yeah. Can you BB rewind that and play it again?

[Lavina Haves]

Amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. So wild, wild, wild night all around. Has not been active about Big Brother any season, really.

[Taran Armstrong]

For.

[Rob Cesternino]

For years and years and years.

[Taran Armstrong]

He wasn't this active for Reindeer Games.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Omer Zaheer]

He was on rain. Yeah.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Omer Zaheer]

Which was great.

[Rob Cesternino]

But for Big Brother, proper, like, it's not like that big Frankie Grande was out here talking about, like, any of these other Big Brother players. I know his friend is on this season, but yeah, that just picked a weird time for Kamu to shout this out.

[Taran Armstrong]

It's really fun.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah, Art.

[Omer Zaheer]

Yes, it truly is.

[Taran Armstrong]

Okay.

[Rob Cesternino]

Anything else from tonight's Big Brother?

[Lavina Haves]

I'm so excited. I feel like a lot of people were starting to get down on the season, including myself. Like, I was on the live feed update on Monday and I told Taryn, like, I feel like I'm watching America's Next top bottom of the tool shed or whatever. I said crossovers. And there's still elements of that. Sure, whatever. But I feel like I never lost hope because these people, like I said, are willing to play be fake. They're willing to throw people under the bus for their own games. They're very willing to play. And I. And I just didn't. In my heart of hearts, I never thought that it was just to going. Going to stay this way and just stay in a steamroll. Of course you worry about that. But I've truly been locked into these feeds, honestly, more than I have the past two seasons. And I don't know if that is an unpopular opinion, but I really feel like the feeds have been really good.

[Rob Cesternino]

Okay. We.

[Taran Armstrong]

We did the stock watch survey this week and the season as a whole rating was a 5.1, which was the lowest rated season at week four since Big Brother 21. Like, people were down on this week. I'm very curious to know what the numbers will look like next week, maybe depending on this. Hoa. Big Brother 22 had a 5.4 at this point. Yeah.

[Omer Zaheer]

Okay.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah.

[Lavina Haves]

What was even happening?

[Rob Cesternino]

If you would have told us, you know, last Friday morning and. And this is prior to everything with the coin that ultimately this week is going to end with Lyric going home. Like, like, of all of the potential bad options that were out there, I mean, this was, with all due respect to Lyric, you know, the least bad. And it happened in the most exciting

[Taran Armstrong]

way in a blind side. Just in a blind side where now they're successfully lying about their votes. I mean, what more can we ask for?

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. What a huge day.

[Taran Armstrong]

That's what we can ask for.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. And also today, if things ever die down in the action in the next day or so, be sure to check out earlier today. Summer of Stein. Huge get. Paulie Califiore joined Eric Stein and I for a conversation eight years in the making.

[Taran Armstrong]

This is big.

[Rob Cesternino]

And he. Paulie was great.

[Lavina Haves]

He's so great.

[Taran Armstrong]

I would hope. Yeah.

[Lavina Haves]

Let's get him for a recap.

[Omer Zaheer]

He was great.

[Rob Cesternino]

He was in really good spirits. We talked a lot about big brother 18 and what his headspace was like at that season. Some of the parallels there are from that season and he is. Has a completely different worldview now than he had in Big Brother 18.

[Omer Zaheer]

Why isn't he on the season of the challenge

[Rob Cesternino]

that you have to take that up with the powers that be. But great job by Paulie Califiore today. Then also Rahabcon Omer mentioned it's coming up in just a couple of weeks. Sam was doing some math death and he said that Big Brother episode 1000 is taking place when we are at Rahabcon.

[Omer Zaheer]

Wow.

[Rob Cesternino]

[Taran Armstrong]

I think it's the Thursday.

[Taran Armstrong]

[Omer Zaheer]

Yes.

Robinswebsite.comb mailbag and of course a very fun episode of the Slop this week with Chappelle talking about all of the nonsense in the Big Brother world. And also we talked with Sandra Diaz Twine about the Survivor Pearl Islands premiere here over in the Survivor podcast feed. Omer, did you listen yet?

[Omer Zaheer]

Not. It's on my list for the gym this week. But you know what's been keeping me busy?

[Rob Cesternino]

Don't talk about the jam is.

[Omer Zaheer]

And what's been keeping me busy and away from that podcast is Terence Live Feeds updates every day, which I have to listen to because I will say, Taryn, that listening to your live feeds daily updates has made the experience of watching Big Brother in the summer so much more enjoyable. I used to only watch the TV show and it's great. So thank you for all that you do there. And I don't know how you watch 24 hours of stuff. I'd like to hear the story behind how someday

[Taran Armstrong]

Clones robots.

[Rob Cesternino]

Yeah. Is this the first season that you're watching the live feed update?

[Omer Zaheer]

I watched maybe 20% of them last year on my commute, but I wasn't that locked in. I really enjoyed last season though, and now I can't get enough. Every, every day I have to be up to date.

[Rob Cesternino]

Amazing. All right, well, thank you so much Noon Eastern for the live feed update with Puya. Coming up on Friday, Taryn and I will talk with Lyric right before the live feed update goes on. Omer, such a delight to have you here for eviction night. Anything else coming up for you?

[Omer Zaheer]
