Episode Overview

This episode is a meta deep-dive: a recap of BB27’s traditional “recap episode”—which itself is a highlight reel of the season so far. With the finale looming, Rob, America, and Corey analyze how the season’s final three, jury moments, and standout houseguests were (or weren’t) presented. Listeners are treated to candid, often hilarious behind-the-scenes perspectives from recent alumni, debates about edit fairness, jury dynamics, and predictions for finale night.

---

1. Opening Banter & Tone Setting [02:36]

• Rob opens with self-deprecation and bringing in America/Corey, joking about being compared to "stale bread” and show cancellations.
• The trio set a playful, informal tone: jokes about segment recaps, their roles as hosts, and community rumors.

Quote
"Hi, I'm Rob Cicerone, a man who, too, has often been compared to stale bread..."
— Rob, [02:36]

---

2. Is the "Recap Episode" Still Worth It? [03:57]

• Recap episodes once held must-see status; now, the panel finds them disappointing.
• Fewer "unseen" moments and jury content that's “uneventful.”

Quote
"I thought this was a down year for the recap of the recap. I feel like that maybe in its early days, it was crazier."
— Rob, [05:51]

America: "There's nothing that they show that I haven't seen already..." [05:31]
Corey: "All the ‘Big Brother is scripted’ people... you know it's not because when you watch these people trying to recite these lines, you're like, 'oh, they're normal people.'" [05:37]

---

3. Ava's Last Hurrah & Alumni Acceptance [07:34]

• Ava’s exit “sit-down” splits the panel: fun to watch vs. desperate for camera time.
• Speculation if Ava will be embraced by BB alumni or fade post-season, referencing recruits who don’t embrace BB culture.

Quote
"She was a fan favorite darling for much of the season... A lot of people soured on her after Rachel went out. Will she be in your social circle?"
— Rob, [09:47]

America: “She might not want to be (in). She wasn’t a fan of the show—you know, some people don’t come out of the show and want to be part of it.” [10:44]
Corey: “That bond is steel. Those poorly received houseguests stay tight.” [11:01]

---

4. The Jury House: Truth vs. Edit [10:58], [27:17]

• Jury segments: Panel agreed, show rarely captures true jury vibe.
• Jury house is more about off-camera game convos and friendships/allegiances. The on-camera jury videos are heavily edited and miss "the meat" of the story.
• Behind-the-scenes: how rooms/bathrooms work, house "house hunters" stories, and tales of jury house boredom/alcohol allocation.

Quote
"The real game talk happens when the cameras are not around. It happens in the bedrooms, the hot tub late at night—when we’re drinking and talking game. On camera? Just reacting to clips."
— America, [35:50]

Corey: “Jury segments encapsulate the least important hour… it’s almost the most inaccurate snapshot you can get.” [06:41]

---

5. Houseguest Edits: Vince, Ashley, and Morgan [12:12, 13:12, 14:13]

• Vince: Mixed portrayal as both a “clown” and potential mastermind. Hosts debate what narrative producers are pushing.
• Ashley: The show gives her little credit, setting up an underdog (or ‘dumb’) narrative.
• Morgan: Seen as comp beast, but Rob wants to see more about social/strategic game.

Quote
"He's the hardest houseguest I've ever had a time figuring out. A superfan who hates lying, loves comps but doesn't campaign, wants to eat bricks. These pieces don't fit."
— Corey, on Adrian, [56:43]

America: “This episode… went back to showing us Ashley is dumb.” [14:21]
Corey: “If they’re proven wrong and Ashley wins, it’s gonna be kinda embarrassing.” [14:27]

---

6. Final Three Dinner & BB Lore [18:43, 19:00, 73:02]

• Outback Steakhouse sponsorship jokes; truth about “fancy” final meals is that it's chain catering.
• “Mastermind” storyline: joking speculation on who it is (Boston Rob? Jane?), connecting BB fictional storylines to real BB alumni.
• Riffs about BB’s evolving “lore” (cities, islands, mastermind lairs).

Quote
"It's an Outback. It was an Outback steak. I know the Bloomin’ Onion. That was a Blooming. I know the seasoning."
— America, [19:06]

Corey: (on “Mastermind” lore) “BB City is over here… Mastermind’s lair was destroyed in the premiere… now there’s even a train and helicopters.” [73:13]

---

7. Jury House Shenanigans: Bathrooms, Fights, Amish Fantasies [28:05, 29:41]

• Hilariously detailed debate over whether every jury house room has its own bathroom.
• Alumni drama and rumors about off-camera fights at BB events; Cam breaking up scuffles.
• Fantasizing about the next BB twist: an Amish houseguest.

Quote
"If you want to get cast on Big Brother, pretend to be Amish, you're on immediately."
— Corey, [29:41]

---

8. The Rachel & Keanu Dynamic [23:01, 39:25]

• Rachel & Keanu: named the two "stars" of the season. Their frenemies relationship is compared to previous BB/Amazing Race/Traitors feuds.
• Rachel highlights: always acting for TV, seeking out other big personalities to spar with.
• Series of running gags about “pee on the floor”—was it Keanu or a prank by Kelly?

Quote
"Rachel is such a veteran... she knows the only other star on this season is Keanu. She only elevates herself being connected to the other star."
— Rob, [24:00]

America: “Rachel can say whatever she wants. She’s been there two weeks already. He shut her down every time. Let him take it." [40:07]

---

9. Miscellaneous Segments: Montages, Requests, Edible Bricks, and More [45:16, 51:55]

• Potato the Mouse: Ridiculous montage on pets, with speculation about rodent ownership.
• Morgan’s "two left feet" and Ashley’s “dumb moments”—hosts call out production for these "mean-spirited" running jokes.
• Diary Room Requests: Hilarious breakdown of requests (e.g., “boob tape,” “three-foot edible brick”) and what gets ignored.

Quote
"Adrian had like a list of things my kids would write to Santa we’re not getting… a three-foot lint roller, edible brick. Why does he need a three-foot lint roller?”
— Rob, [54:18]

America: “Boob tape is a thing, Rob!… It’s a special type of tape. I guarantee she didn’t get it.” [52:48-53:00]

---

10. Live Feed Spoilers & Finale Scenarios [75:21-82:43]

• Part 1 HOH: Morgan wins.
• Part 2 HOH: Ashley beats Vince after Vince blows a huge lead.
• Part 3 Preview: Morgan vs. Ashley set for finale; panel predicts possible outcomes and narrative justice.

Rob’s “Unpopular Take”:
"I would like to see Morgan win the final competition and take Vince to the end and win Big Brother 27." [77:56]

• America prefers Ashley as an underdog winner.
• Corey fans out over various scenarios, relishing both predictable and unpredictable final showdowns.
• Predictions on jury votes (Rachel/Will/Ava for Ashley; Morgan/Lauren likely for Vince), but all agree it’s unpredictable.

---

11. Standout Quotes & Memorable Moments

• America on Ava’s post-show future:
  “It’s up and down. Every month, every week, people find new shit to complain about.” [11:54]
• Corey on the nature of reality TV hate:
  “With every reality show, every season is the worst season, every cast is the worst cast.” [12:02]
• Rob on diary room edits:
  “We play with their emotions to the point that they break down… Cue the wacky music. Get ready to watch people cry.” [69:27]
• On Robin Williams as celebrity crush:
  “The genie could make an edible brick for you. Boob tape. As much as you want.” — Rob, [65:11]
• Keanu and the pee mystery:
  “When he lies... he says ‘that doesn’t even make any sense’…So the fact he didn't say that is a good sign.” — Corey, [42:26]
• Rob’s “Fuck-Marry-Kill” on Robin Williams roles:
  “I would say F Teddy Roosevelt, marry the genie, and kill Mrs. Doubtfire.” [66:14]
• America on crying in the Diary Room:
  "You know, they're just watching this happen. Like, you could've given me a heads up, you know?" [69:04]

---

12. Looking Ahead: Finale Night and Closing Thoughts [83:44]

• All hosts excited (and anxious) for Sunday’s two-hour finale and jury roundtable.
• Shout-outs to standout characters (Will, Rachel, Keanu) and calls for better alumni integration in future seasons.
• Rob, America, and Corey will be covering the finale live, after the episode airs.

Quote
"Is Vince cooked? Find out on Sunday night when we check out the finale of Big Brother 27."
— Rob, [83:45]

Tone & Style

The panel leans into signature RHAP irreverence: sarcastic, inside jokey, and meta about the show’s production and fandom. Alumni hosts blend behind-the-scenes insight with playful roasting—of contestants, production, and themselves. The pace is fast and nonlinear, but dense with both context for casuals and rewards for superfans.

For Listeners Who Missed the Episode

This “Recap of the Recap” is a chaotic, funny, and information-packed sendup of the BB27 season, the flaws of the recap format, and Big Brother’s strangest traditions. It is not a blow-by-blow of in-game events, but a spirited roundtable that’s equally about what production and fans get right—and hilariously, what they get wrong. The most value is in the behind-the-scenes commentary, live feed discussions, and the hosts’ unsparing honesty about production tricks and alumni drama.

Can’t-miss for:

• BB superfans curious about how the “sausage is made”
• Viewers frustrated by boring episodes, looking for context and comedy
• Those invested in BB alumni culture and the odd afterlife of reality TV stardom

[America]

Hi y'.

[Rob Cicerone]

All.

[America]

Welcome to another episode of BB Unlocked. Unlocked. This episode is brought to you by Starwalk 2. So Starwalk 2 isn't just for skywatching. I know we've been talking about full Moon, you know, taking a look at Saturn last week, but it's also where fun meets facts. So you got to check out the space quizzes in the app to test your astronomy knowledge while enjoying stunning, rare space picks. Every question comes with an image, and you get the right answer instantly after each choice.

[Corey]

And if you and your friend get the same score on the quiz, it goes to a tiebreaker. So break out the whiteboard, tap the menu, hit space Quizzes and dive in. Go for the Meme Quiz if you want laughs, or try the Ancient Constellation Quiz if you're too cool for that other stuff. But also to see what wild shapes people use to find in the stars. Smart, surprising, and full of eye candy. That's Star Wars 2. So without further ado, here's your episode of Big Brother Unlocked.

[America]

Unlocked.

[Rob Cicerone]

More like the recap of the recap. And check out Starwalk 2 if you ever want to see Actual footage of Katy Perry going to the moon. It's incredible. Yes. We are so excited to be back here tonight. Hi, I'm Rob Cicerone, a man who, too, has often been compared to stale bread. And I am here with the hosts of Big Brother Unlocked. Unlocked. For a recap of the recap, it's Americori.

[Corey]

Yeah, Rob, question. If BB Unlocked gets taken off the air, do America and I get axed as well?

[Rob Cicerone]

Hmm. From what? What would you do if BB do you have a different thing to recap?

[Corey]

Every show I touch Rob gets canceled.

[Rob Cicerone]

We'll see. We'll see. We'll listen. We can talk about the fate of Big Brother Unlocked later on in this episode Ton. As we watch the final three popping bottles. And we're here to talk about all the reminiscing that went on here tonight. Very excited to get the chance to talk to America and Corey here tonight live on Friday night. Nothing else I'd rather be doing than podcasting away about the 49th episode of Big Brother this summer. Cory and America, how are you?

[America]

We're good. This has been such a fun season. Oh, my God. Up until the very end. And I think this was a pretty good episod things considered, I do think they could have brought in Derek and Taylor and the mastermind one last time.

[Rob Cicerone]

But it sounds like the mastermind is going to be unveiled on Sunday night, so be ready for that reveal. Corey, do you have any inside intel on who the mastermind is?

[Corey]

Oh, I have all the inside intel and I've been riding with this theory since day one.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yes. Okay.

[Corey]

Boston Rob.

[Rob Cicerone]

Boston Rob. Yeah, I have two have speculated that that is certainly a possibility, but maybe just throwing it out, there could be.

[America]

Boy, Jane. Has anyone seen her? I haven't seen any photos of her recently.

[Corey]

Here's the thing. I think I would have heard it.

[America]

What do you mean?

[Corey]

I don't know if there's an accent changer in the mastermind's voice.

[Rob Cicerone]

It seems okay.

[Corey]

I don't know.

[Rob Cicerone]

All right, so we'll find out.

[America]

I think I saw it go like this.

[Rob Cicerone]

Mastermind Sunday night, part of the two hour Big Brother 27 finale. And our coverage will kick off at 10:45pm Eastern or depending on NFL football. So be sure to follow along on social media. But we can talk through everything from tonight. Are you two fans of the recap episode traditionally?

[Corey]

Well, we host one, so.

[Rob Cicerone]

I mean, this episode, they're like the final three.

[America]

Honestly, no. No. There's nothing that they show that I haven't seen already. Or that, you know what I mean?

[Corey]

Like, we don't appreciate is like, all the Big Brother is scripted people. You know, it's not, because when you watch these people at the kitchen table trying to recite these lines, you're like, oh, they're normal people.

[America]

Yeah. This is not like those are them giving lines. Yeah.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. Overall, I thought this was a down year for the recap of the recap. I feel like that maybe in its early days, it was crazier. I feel like that there was more unseen moments, and I feel like that maybe we got only, like, two or three unseen moments in the episode tonight. So I feel like that, overall, I felt like this was kind of a disappointment. Even the jury segment. America, I know you were excited for the jury segment was kind of uneventful.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[America]

I mean, nothing really happened. I want to see more. Those interviews, first off, are like an hour. Like, they sit us outside, they separate us when we're in the jury house, when somebody new comes in and they have us, like, give interviews every single time. So I'm like, they have so much footage, and instead we get, like, two seconds of, like, nothing, you know?

[Corey]

You know what's frustrating is, like, jury segments encapsulate the least important hour of the jury. That first hour where there's camera crews everywhere, and every line obviously isn't scripted, but you're kind of being directed about what to talk about. And then the next week dictates how everyone actually thinks about the game. So it's, like, almost the most inaccurate snapshot you can get. But I did think it was the highlight of the episode, so it was.

[Rob Cicerone]

Certainly one of the highlights. I have some other things that I'd love to talk through. And so why don't we go through in chronological order and get through everything from tonight's episode? And I guess we have to begin with the final three popping champagne being the final three. Morgan, Vince, and Ashley. But it was not before Ava gave the house one last parting gift. What'd you think of Ava's last minute sit down with the house?

[America]

Can I say I liked it? She was trying. Like, she was trying something. She went out with a bang. I know you've complained about her being passive all season long. I'm like, okay, Ava, I don't care if this is her trying to get her TV moment or trying to, you know, get more screen time. I enjoyed it. I thought it was fun to see, like, you know, Vince just sitting there twirling his little mustache, nervous like I thought it was.

[Rob Cicerone]

All right, so I want to know, from your perspective as Big Brother alumni, you're so tapped in. Are you two going to any of the finale festivities?

[Corey]

I'm going to be very candid, Rob.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah.

[Corey]

I have an unread DM from Kenny Kelly about a Boston finale party.

[Rob Cicerone]

But you're not going to go out to California?

[Corey]

Absolutely not.

[Rob Cicerone]

Absolutely not.

[Corey]

I heard it's been a. I've heard there's been some. A ruckus in la.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. You have any blind items? Blind item.

[America]

There's. There's been some. There's been some fights.

[Rob Cicerone]

People are fist fighting.

[America]

No, there are. People are fighting. Just. There's some words.

[Corey]

Here's what I can say. Cam Sullivan Brown is breaking it up.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Rob Cicerone]

All right. Can I find any of the stuff out on Chat bcc?

[Corey]

Honestly, I know someone who's been willing.

[America]

Honestly, I. I told them to. I'm like, hey, you want to air this out? Air it out on Chat bcc. That is the.

[Rob Cicerone]

That's the spot to do it. Yeah. Well, we can help make that happen if that's the case, but can you give us just, like, some vague details of what's going on? Because I feel like that you two are so active in the alumni community, and I feel like that you're like, the hubs of knowledge. Everybody goes to U2.

[America]

Is that sarcasm?

[Rob Cicerone]

No, I'm being serious.

[America]

Like, we don't know anything. I've been trying to figure out who the mastermind is forever.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah, but nobody really cares about that. Like, I want to know about what's happening with the cast, with the alumni.

[Corey]

Well, here's what I'll say. I got in quite a memorable fight with one Jared Fields on my seat.

[Rob Cicerone]

Sure.

[Corey]

And I heard there was a round two of some sorts with someone who, you know, fulfills a similar archetype to me.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay.

[Corey]

There you go.

[Rob Cicerone]

All right, well, we'll see if there's more information about any of that. So this is all a long way around me asking of, is Ava going to be accepted into the Big Brother alumni community with open arms? She was a fan favorite darling for much of the season. A lot of people soured on her after Rachel went out of the game. Do you think that Ava will be a big part of your social circle in but 4 days?

[Corey]

What social circle are you referring to, Rob? This social circle does not exist. And if it does exist, it involves Quinn.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay, you are like, it's Quinn.

[America]

It's a cat. It's a.

[Rob Cicerone]

You are superstars in the Big Brother community. You know, everybody that each of you has no less than 62 Big Brother alumni in your contacts. Come on.

[Corey]

But here's the thing. If Brendan has anything to say about it.

[Rob Cicerone]

No, no, no. He's been very anti Ava, and I.

[America]

Don'T know if she'll want to be. She wasn't a fan of the show. You know, she doesn't. Like, some people just aren't. Don't come out, like, especially recruits. They don't come out of the show and want to be necessarily a part of it or, you know, So I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't.

[Corey]

There is a group of poorly received house guests.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yes.

[Corey]

And that bond is steel. Those people stay tight.

[America]

Like, who do you think we're gonna see her on the Daniel. Like, Daniel and DJ show time.

[Corey]

That's a podcast level. I don't think we get there.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah, but you think she'll be, like, doing twitch streams with Turner and stuff like that?

[Corey]

I'll be watching if that happens. But my guess is it's going to be very similar to last season where, like, T Core and Keemo were, like, talking about being an influencer, really putting themselves out there, and then they left the house, and it was like nobody cared. Life goes on. You know what I mean? And I think that's what most BBLM figure out. A couple are able to cling to something, but I would be surprised if miss Ava Pearl does.

[Rob Cicerone]

So. Yeah, I think that the fans are gonna turn around on Ava. I think that once she gets out of the house, she posts a couple of wacky videos on Instagra, everybody's gonna be back to pro Eva.

[America]

Maybe. I don't know. We'll see. It's up and down. It's every month, every week, people find new shit to, like, complain about it, so.

[Corey]

Well, the beautiful thing is, with every reality show, every season is the worst season and every cast is the worst cast. So eventually, big brother 28 is gonna come around, and everyone's gonna be like, you know what? Ava low key was kind of awesome. And that's just how it works.

[America]

We say that all the time about, like, past big. Big Brother players. They're, like, low key. Like, what's her name?

[Rob Cicerone]

Right down in the chat, everybody's saying, not me, not me, not me. And then, you know, five days, Mother.

[America]

No, I'll see you.

[Rob Cicerone]

You're here we stand.

[America]

I'll see y' all in the tick tock. Comments.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yes, I'll buy a cameo for Read my aura. Paint my aura, Mother. Yeah, I'm watching I'm gonna write down all the names.

[Corey]

Okay.

[Rob Cicerone]

All right, but. So Ava at least gave us something on the way out the door. But Vinnie was not happy. Vinnie was tweaked one last time. Everybody's gotta get Vince upset before they leave the house.

[America]

And they succeeded. It doesn't take much. Yeah. Like, he startles himself, you know, like, he.

[Corey]

Vince is gonna get evicted and call himself out on the way.

[America]

Yeah, that's how he.

[Corey]

Vince, you weasel. No one should vote for you to win. Walks out the front door to Jewel.

[America]

Stupid, stupid, stupid. I. I could see it.

[Rob Cicerone]

He said, well, now all he has to do is he has to have a good final two speech. That's going to be the one thing that's going to save Vinnie.

[Corey]

Yeah, I mean, he's. He's poised for one. I don't understand what the show's doing with their edit of Vince. We're like, they're editing him as a clown for the past three weeks into. Everyone's not gonna vote for him as they leave the house into. He's the mastermind of the jury segment. I, like, really think they're trying to figure out if Vince has a chance to win. And they're just like, instead of picking one Lane, they're just saying, hey, you're gonna hedge.

[Rob Cicerone]

They don't know. Yeah, okay.

[America]

Anyone but Ashley.

[Rob Cicerone]

Anybody. But I really do feel like that they've been trying the last couple episodes to try to, like, give you enough because they've so underserved Ashley all throughout the whole season. I feel like that these last couple episodes, they've tried to give you a couple of crumbs, that if Ashley wins, they could somehow save face that they didn't show her all season, and that somehow Ashley came back around and did this.

[Corey]

I feel like I haven't seen that many crumbs.

[America]

We also have been. Haven't been watching the episodes Lowkey.

[Corey]

I think that.

[America]

Yeah, but, like, this episode, I don't think it gave us much from Ashley. Like, I didn't.

[Rob Cicerone]

No, this episode, they went back to showing us Ashley is dumb.

[America]

Yeah, exactly.

[Corey]

Well, I think the big thing is, like, obviously, I think they're viewing the game as, like, can Ashley really win the game? And they're seeing that as, like, the least likely possibility. And then from that point on, it's like, okay, you know, talk about hedging. This is one spot where you probably don't have to hedge. And if they're proven wrong, that's gonna be kind of embarrassing.

[Rob Cicerone]

All right, what's going On. Is there screaming going on at your house?

[Corey]

AC unit, which means a slightly open window.

[America]

Yeah. I can't believe you heard that.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay. Yeah. What do you think? Is that like, you guys live in a bad neighborhood?

[America]

No, we're in the city now. We're city girls, city vibes. So this happens.

[Rob Cicerone]

Are those happy screams or should we be alarmed?

[Corey]

Yeah, Ashley fans. We think they're Ashley fans.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay, are there wall yellers for the podcast trying to tell you things that the chat is saying that maybe you didn't pick up on?

[America]

Yeah, they're like, tell us the tea.

[Corey]

Yeah, wall yellers for the edited episodes would be diabolical.

[Rob Cicerone]

That would be a waste of a megaphone. You may have noticed this summer that we refreshed the podcast studio, but what you didn't know was that we used Wayfair to cozify this place with new chairs, panels and plants.

Springsteen Deliver Me from Nowhere, only in theaters October 24th. All right, well, let's get into the recapping of the recap. And we have the final three dinner. What do you think? Did this look like a good spread? The Big Brother steak and lobster.

[America]

I didn't really see what they had. I did see the terms expensive. They had the champagne. The expensive champagne. I can't even pronounce it.

[Corey]

America is actually uniquely has unique expertise on this issue.

[America]

What do you mean?

[Corey]

You had steaks in the Big Brother house provided to you.

[America]

Oh, I've had a dinner like that. It wasn't shown, of course. Nobody would know.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. What's the catering situation?

[America]

It's an outback. It was an outback steak. I swear. I know the Bloomin Onion. That was a blooming. I know the seasoning.

[Rob Cicerone]

So what are they like? Uber eats the steak and lobster from the outback. They coming in, they plate it, and then they put it on out for them.

[America]

Exactly that. I'm sure that's how it works.

[Rob Cicerone]

Some future Vince comes and delivers it.

[Corey]

That would be a crazy twist. I'm a DoorDash driver in LA. I get a Radford Studios call, like, all right, we're back.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. And then, yeah, 10 years later, that person is on the show.

[Corey]

Oh, my God. McCrae delivering a pizza.

[Rob Cicerone]

McRae delivering a pizza. Yeah. That would be full circle if McRae ended up being a delivery person in Los Angeles and then had to deliver stuff to the big brother house. All right, so they start off with. Because they always. It's very formula. I've watched so many of these. The first act is always going to end in a big fight. And I guess they didn't have that many options where the house was really fighting with each other. I guess we didn't have, like a huge blow up between everybody. I guess they could have gone Rachel and Zay from the first week, but they end up opening up a segment of like, hey, we had it rough. We had to deal with Keanu. And we get a whole Keanu segment. Keanu, he loved a good argument. And we see Keanu battling with Ashley. I felt that this was a little bit of their trying to give some crumbs of Ashley could hold her own with Keanu.

[America]

I'm glad we saw it. But it's so funny because they're just wrong. Like, Keanu didn't like fighting. People liked fighting with Keanu. Like, you know, like, that's how it usually went.

[Corey]

That's a hot take.

[America]

No, I think so. Like, Keanu didn't like arguing, but people would be, like, always dunking on him.

[Corey]

So here's, I think, the distinction. It's not that Keanu wanted to fight, but Keanu's personality makes everyone want to fight with him.

[America]

Yes. You get me.

[Rob Cicerone]

Keanu would be very adamant and wrong about his opinions, and then they would lead to fights and he'd get be very dug in. But he wasn't necessarily, like, yelling at people.

[Corey]

I mean, look, his punchline at the end of this one was awesome, though. That's why you're getting second and she's gonna win unless you do this. And then I was like, okay, stop adding details. Like, the punchline was good. We don't need to hear. But if you win the final four veto, in that case, she can't be hoh. Obviously, I was like, okay.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah.

[Corey]

In general, though, what I'll give Keanu, which was my frustration with Ava's house meeting, he's not scripted. He has these lines on the top of his head, and he lets him loose. And is that good or bad every single fight? Well, look, unedited. It could be anything. But I think from what we've got.

[America]

It seems pretty good for a big brother player. He's like, it's fun to watch.

[Rob Cicerone]

America, how would you have dealt with Keanu in the house?

[America]

Oh, my God. If he peed on the floor. Oh, my. Like, if he did anything, like, ill.

[Rob Cicerone]

Now we don't know if that was him or not, America.

[America]

That was. He looked so guilty. He never said, we'll talk about it. So guilty.

[Rob Cicerone]

We'll talk about it in the jury segment.

[America]

Yeah, yeah, that's coming.

[Corey]

All I'm saying is, like, you can't be 100% certain when Kelly's also in the house.

[Rob Cicerone]

All right, then we got. We're gonna end the first segment with, all right, we gotta get into Keanu versus Rachel, the frenemies. And they're in the gym and. And Rachel says it was a shame that Keanu tried to get her on the block. I believe this was during Vince's HOH when Vince is trying to decide whether or not to put Rachel up as the Renam. Rachel is so done with him. Keanu betrayed her trust, and she says it's the dumbest move in BB history to go against her.

[America]

I love Rachel. It was so fun to see her back on the screen. This was a fun fight because it's just, you know, what Keanu was like is like, my would have been my Jag. You said, how. How would you deal with him? I'm like, I think that was the same sort of dynamic where you keep trying and he just doesn't get it. It was like, jag pre jury. But Keanu was just so wrong all the way to the very end, like, thinking that Vince was on his side. It was just so frustrating to watch. And good on Rachel for, like, giving it to him, you know, Let me.

[Corey]

Give some culpability to Rachel because Keanu is a clown in the best way. Going back to Vince over and over and over, betraying Rachel over and over and over. Rachel then goes back to Keanu over and over and over to the point we're in the jury, and Rachel's like, oh, I was rooting for Keanu. Like, they're just.

[Rob Cicerone]

They couldn't give up on each other.

[America]

This is a nice story.

[Rob Cicerone]

They're the frenemies.

[Corey]

I. Amazing Race 39, Big Brother Part 2. Rachel and Keanu have to be the first pick.

[America]

I love this trope, and I love their dynamic.

[Rob Cicerone]

But you know what? Rachel, I think she is a person who works in casting. And Rachel is such a veteran of this thing of ours. This game, not Big Brother, the reality TV world. She knows the only other star on this season of television is Keanu. With all due respect to all the rest of the players, she can tell that person is a star. And she knows as a star, she only elevates herself by being connected to the other star. And check out Starwalk for more on stars, what do you think of that?

[Corey]

I think that's totally right. I mean, look, in fairness, I don't think it takes a casting director to be able to tell that Keanu is the only star. Like, I think there's a lot of not stars on this cast. And, like, ultimately, Rachel is. Is a big personality who wins competition, who in the past was not thought of as a very great strategist. She's turned a corner. Keanu is the same. So, like, I just think Rachel sees herself in Keanu, but at the same time, like, I don't think Rachel would like Rachel, but even look at Rachel.

[Rob Cicerone]

On the Traitors, and it's not necessarily like a one for one, but so much of that first season of the Traitors was her and Kate Chastain just, like, bumping heads. And I don't know if it was necessarily by design, but Rachel knows that's gonna be really good TV when she gets into it with these other big personalities. Even in the jury segment, Rachel is dressed to the nines. She's ready to go. There's no one in that jury house that's there to be able to give Rachel the jury segment that she wants to give us. I don't know who that person would have been. Maybe they're not in that cast. Maybe if Keanu was a little bit more feisty, that it could have got there. But Rachel is dying to make good television. Yes. It could have been you, Corey.

[Corey]

No, I. I cower. Mickey. If Mickey's in that jury segment, it's a war. There's no way Rachel is controlling Mickey. Throw Jimmy in there if they were still beefing. Yeah, I look, hey, off the record, Rob, what if Zay's in the jury house? That's a pretty crazy round.

[Rob Cicerone]

Be like a punching bag that she could, like, do, like, speed bag off of. For sure.

[Corey]

I think there's potential on this cast, but not in this jury.

[Rob Cicerone]

I do wonder about the appearance of Cody Califiore is going to be hosting the jury roundtable. In case you missed it, Sharon Tharp announced that. Do you think that Rachel could get into it a little bit with her other former Traders castmate Cody Calafiore at the jury roundtable.

[America]

I hope so.

[Corey]

Is it possible to get into it with Cody?

[America]

I like.

[Rob Cicerone]

I mean, Rachel and Cody were not seeing eye to eye in that first season of the Traitors.

[Corey]

I think we're going to walk into the jury roundtable, and Rachel's gonna be in the center seat. Cody's just gonna Be on one of the couches. Like, this is not gonna happen.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. Okay. Lots of. Lots of intrigue coming up for Sunday night. Don't tune out yet. Everybody got one more night to go for BB27. Let's talk about.

[Corey]

I suppose.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah, let's talk about that jury house segment. Okay. And we saw Rachel and Will. And what do you think's been going on there for these last couple days?

[America]

Just nothing in the best way.

[Corey]

Like, I mean, we. America and I were in the jury house hanging out. Cameron and Blue were hanging out. Sheree got there.

[Rob Cicerone]

That was probably more exciting, right?

[America]

Yeah. It's so funny. We have the same jury house that they did. I know exactly which room Rachel had. She's living like a queen. I know which room Will probably has because you can sort of tell which one's the next best room. Yeah, they're not doing anything. They're probably getting tons of alcohol, though.

[Corey]

Oh, yeah, they trust those two. The second Kelly enters the house, it's like, all right. Cutting you guys off.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay. All right. So is it true that every room in the jury house has its own bathroom?

[America]

Yep.

[Rob Cicerone]

That is true.

[Corey]

No.

[America]

Yes.

[Corey]

No.

[America]

Yes. Which one?

[Corey]

So America is very lucky because she made it much further in the game than me, but we shared a room in the jury house where we had a suite with a bathroom. Some of those rooms further down.

[America]

Yes, they do. I looked into every room.

[Corey]

We're not gonna get in a fight, Cory.

[America]

I thought about my options once I got there. I was like, ah, don't worry about it.

[Corey]

What do you mean you thought about your options?

[America]

No, I'm joking. But I just like. I love house hunters, so I snooped around.

[Corey]

Anyways, apparently there's.

[Rob Cicerone]

What'd you find?

[Corey]

All the bathrooms.

[America]

They all have different. They all have different views, and they all have bathrooms. They're all different sizes, and it's like, yeah, they're very different.

[Corey]

But I found a lot of stuff. I was, like, breaking into cabinets.

[Rob Cicerone]

Like, what'd you find? Anything good?

[Corey]

I found, like. Okay, this is gonna sound weird. I feel like the person who owns that house might have been part of, like, an Amish lifestyle in the past. Like, all the clothing that they had was, like, very. I don't know how to describe it. Like, milk matey.

[Rob Cicerone]

Milk matey.

[Corey]

Milk matey. Yeah, that's the adjective I'm gonna go with. I don't know how to describe it.

[America]

That was felicious. Closet. No, I'm kidding.

[Corey]

I'm joking.

[Rob Cicerone]

Do you think that maybe the Amish could have because ironically, I mean, imagine that the, that we found out that the Amish were secretly involved in the production of Big Brother, and they had this secret villa in Los Angeles where they had all of their milkmaid uniforms.

[Corey]

All right, well, by the way, if you want to get cast on Big Brother, pretend to be Amish, you're on immediately. Are you kidding me? We've never had an Amish person in the house.

[Rob Cicerone]

You think so?

[Corey]

Do you know all the cameras, they'd be freaking out.

[Rob Cicerone]

I don't want to speak out of school. I believe they go on Rumspringa where they're sent out into the world to go explore. Imagine somebody for like, hey, I'm gonna spend my rumspringa for 88 days doing big Brother.

[America]

I'd like to see it. That sounds like fun.

[Corey]

Yeah. I don't know, though. Is Rum Springer in the jury house allowed? I'm gonna have to talk to an Amish person before I speak out of tone.

[Rob Cicerone]

We'll see if we can find out. We see first person who's going to be entering the jury house, it's Kelly.

[America]

I'm here to irritate you.

[Rob Cicerone]

What do you think about the new Persona that Kelly is fully adopting of Irritating Kelly?

[America]

She's so annoying. She's so annoying.

[Rob Cicerone]

As irritating Kelly next week?

[Corey]

I think it's gonna be one of those situations where, like, it's a nine digit number that doesn't have a name associated with it. I, I think Kelly is good casting. She's. I think she's provided a lot. I also think she's like that person at school who, like, you know, she's eccentric. Some people would view her as annoying who has one joke that lands really well and it's like, oh, that's funny. And she's like, oh, you guys like that? And then it's a. A thousand more times. So I expect on the finale we're gonna hear another mention about how she's annoying. Rachel. What I thought was disrespectful was why did they have to play the da da da da da da da da da music as she was walking into the jury house.

[America]

You know why it's messed up.

[Rob Cicerone]

I don't know why.

[America]

She's sort of. She's sort of like the little clown, you know what I mean?

[Rob Cicerone]

Like, I thought you were saying to Josh Martinez, because that's his song.

[Corey]

Honestly, Talk about Amazing grace. Team Josh and Kelly. Yeah, now we're cooking with gas. Oh, my God, this is good.

[Rob Cicerone]

So, all right, America, will Kelly be wisely Accepted into the Big Brother social circle.

[America]

I thought you were saying, well, Kelly. No, I was like, those are two.

[Rob Cicerone]

Will be in my social circle. Will's gonna be here in my podcast room. We're gonna. We're gonna podcast away. I might have to start watching women's basketball.

[America]

Yeah, I'm excited to hear it.

[Rob Cicerone]

Before you call me sexist, I don't watch men's basketball. Okay.

[Corey]

I think he's saying yes to you, Rob. My Will's over it. I don't think he wants to be on a podcast.

[Rob Cicerone]

You don't think Will wants to be on a podcast? He's a podcaster.

[Corey]

Well, can I. Can I say this?

[Rob Cicerone]

Let me tell you something, Cory, okay? Podcasters be wanting to be on lots of other podcasts. That's what we do.

[Corey]

You're talking to two podcasters right here.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay?

[Corey]

But. But here's the thing about Will. They are fool. A lot of people have been complaining about Unlocked. It feels too scripted. If Will is not a host on Big Brother Unlocked next year, they have fumbled the bag so dramatically. Like, just having him in the corner next to Taylor and Derek would make the show so much better.

[America]

Commentating anything. He's just so funny.

[Corey]

Him and Felicia just put them on the table. Don't give them any lines. It'll be perfect.

[Rob Cicerone]

He'd be a good guy to, like, cut to for, like, reactions of that something happens and then where. What's the segment that they have of. Is this a, like, bad move or big move, bad move? Like, hey, Will, what do you got? Big move, bad move? Like, oh, no. That.

[America]

He's like, hell, no.

[Rob Cicerone]

Hell no.

[America]

Yeah, I can hear it.

[Rob Cicerone]

Horrible move.

[Corey]

Horrible.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay, but. All right, Kelly comes in, and I kind of thought, kelly and Rachel, we're gonna get into a little bit, but sadly, no, no.

[America]

We saw it in the house, you know, where like, Kelly would come in, and she'd be like, I'm gonna go bother Rachel, and I'm gonna make her life a living hell. And then Rachel would tell her something, and she'd immediately go up to whoever was hoh and start crying like, kelly's not that person. She can't take it. She'll, you know, talk her smack behind people's backs, but, like, she can't do it in person, and she definitely cannot do it.

[Rob Cicerone]

Not to Rachel. Not to Rachel. Now, Corey, traditionally, in a double eviction at the jury house, do they bring both evicted players in at once, or do they watch one video and then we end up the second person comes in?

[Corey]

So for Our case, it was Blue in America. Blue walks in, she has her hoe and like, hey, Blue, what's up? How are you doing? Then America walks in. Then we watch the videos of both of them.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay, so both of them.

[America]

One. Sit down.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay. All right. So we end up watching the video. The house is really blown away by the fact that they voted out Kelly over Keanu. They couldn't believe it.

[Corey]

Yeah, I couldn't really believe it either, but, you know, that was crazy.

[America]

The comp beast at Final Six keeping the. It's. It's so insane. Like, the game just comes down to competitions at that point. Point. They're kind of silly. But they lucked out.

[Rob Cicerone]

Doesn't the jury house? Like, aren't they getting a version of the story? And maybe the real version of the story comes out when they are not watching the tapes. But the real story that week was Vince's Will he won't he, Morgan, Lauren, drama. Like, do they eventually get that part of the story?

[Corey]

I think. I think what happens is, like, they show you this video, and the video is just. Just ceremonies and comps. I heard someone say it's like you get edited episodes. No, you don't. You get like a. The edited version of the comp without doctors.

[America]

I heard that too. Somebody said. I don't know, somebody said on a podcast, like, it was Quinn with you. We get the entire episode minus the doctor's. We don't. We get maybe like a five minute video.

[Corey]

So what happens?

[America]

Well, at least we did. I don't know what 26 got, but that's what we got.

[Corey]

What happens is, like, we think jag's a terrible player. Then we are cut off content, attacked. We don't see Jack, but we see him winning every competition and speaking at every ceremony. And it paints slightly. A slightly different narrative. But also, like, then you have a week alone where you're not allowed to talk game, but there's two people in this mansion monitoring you guys, so everyone's gonna talk game. So, like, oh, yeah, if the thing is, who's Rachel listening to? Is she listening to Keanu's perspective? Lauren's, Kelly's. I don't think she has much, like, respect for these people's game perspectives.

[America]

Well, here's what happens. The real game talk happens when the cameras are not around. Like, to be serious, like, you know what I mean? It happens in the bedrooms. It happens in the hot tub late at night. We're, like, all drinking and we're all talking game. But, like, when the cameras are There. And we watching the clip, we're just reacting to what we're watching, so we'll see.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay. All right. Well, Lauren ends up talking about how Vince was the person who was responsible for her eviction. And Rachel loves a good I told you so. And she says this to Lauren.

[America]

Vince played you.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah.

[America]

And he played you good, and you fell for it like a puppy.

[Rob Cicerone]

And Lauren doesn't necessarily push back on that, but she does say that in life, in the future, she will be trying to be somewhere more in between puppy and Pitbull, not Mr. Worldwide.

[Corey]

So what would you say is in between pitbull and puppy? Rob, what's the middle ground?

[America]

Like a Chihuahua.

[Corey]

That's closer to puppy. Right.

[Rob Cicerone]

Puppy is a baby dog, and a pitbull is a certain type of dog. So I don't know. I guess puppy.

[Corey]

Pitbull.

[Rob Cicerone]

Right.

[America]

She reminds me of, like, the lady and the Tramp. Like, lady. Whatever type of dog that is. The lady, obviously.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah.

[Corey]

So, yeah. I don't know what that is.

[Rob Cicerone]

Cocker spaniel.

[Corey]

Cocker spaniel.

[America]

Very sweet. But I am so glad that Rachel gave it to her, because she did warn her so many times, do not let an unemployed man tell you what to do. And she did, and she found out what happens. You know, she. She got what was coming to her.

[Rob Cicerone]

Rachel was sort of, like, vacillating back and forth between. Vince is playing a good game, but also, Vince is very slimy, and I don't like what he's doing at all.

[Corey]

I think the only way Vince wins this game is if, like, Rachel convinces herself that everyone's gonna think she's bitter if she doesn't vote for Vince. That's, like, my read of this situation, because I don't think anyone really wants to. But if they think he's the mastermind and they all perceive Ashley as less than. That's the world. I can see it. I think what always is, like, alarm bells to me is I didn't hear anything about Ashley, which to me, is a good indication, because, like, if there was was negative stuff, that would be worrying. I'm sure they're all speaking glowingly about everyone, because that's what you do. I don't know why they're, like, showing all the Vince stuff. Yeah, it's just very, like, lopsided. I don't know.

[Rob Cicerone]

So when Ava's gonna come to the jury house, and then we're gonna have our jury segment coming up on Sunday night where Keanu will be there.

[Corey]

She will come to the.

[Rob Cicerone]

Oh, she won't okay.

[America]

She goes straight to the. That's right. To the round table.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay. That's what I mean. So at the roundtable, when Cody is there, what do you think they'll say about Ashley?

[Corey]

So I think so much of what Ashley needs to do is, like, get the final three hoh and make a move there. Because otherwise, the only case for Ashley from what we've seen from the jurors is, like, we like her more, and she's an underdog. So, like. Yeah, I just don't know if we're gonna see a ton of positive stuff about Ashley from, like, Ava funneling it, but I do think we're pretty likely to get negative stuff about Vince because the last three jurors and I do.

[Rob Cicerone]

Think that Ava is going to come to the jury house or to the round table, and I think she wouldn't be the loudest voice burying Vince and that conversation.

[America]

Yeah, it's just, like, she has been right. She's been pretty anti Vince, anti Vinny Delif.

[Corey]

I think people overestimate, like, how much jurors can sway other jurors. Like, these people don't like each other. Other.

[Rob Cicerone]

All right.

[Corey]

I think at the most, you can get your best bud on your side. Maybe.

[Rob Cicerone]

Let's then get Keanu showing up. It was going to be another day of a pool party at the jury house, but then here comes Keanu and Rachel, a little disappointed to see her protege show up at the jury house.

[America]

I mean, it was. It was this time. Yeah.

[Corey]

Rachel's like, right. The whole season about what Keanu should be doing. That being said, if I'm Keanu at the jury house, I'm pissed. Every other word out of Rachel's mouth is like, see Keanu?

[America]

I'm glad. I don't care. Like, it's about time. She tried telling him so many times, babe.

[Corey]

Like, I. I know how I felt when Suri was like, at this point.

[America]

I don't care about Keanu because he shut her down every time she tried to say something to him. So, like, let him take it. She could. Rachel can say whatever she wants. Wants. She's been there two weeks already. Three weeks.

[Corey]

Yeah. Look, she can say whatever she wants. I. If I'm Keanu, though, I'm. I'm pissed.

[Rob Cicerone]

All right?

[Corey]

And I think he was.

[Rob Cicerone]

I'm gonna stick with this theme. Okay. Next week. Are you guys on FaceTime with Keanu?

[America]

Yes, probably.

[Rob Cicerone]

Probably.

[America]

I just, like, I really want to play a game. Like, I really want a game night with Keanu. I think That'll be so much fun.

[Rob Cicerone]

Would you let Keanu be a dungeon master? And would you go on a quest?

[Corey]

I would pay a tremendous amount of money to be part of that quest.

[Rob Cicerone]

Right. That'd be fun.

[Corey]

Are you kidding me? First of all, this is a no brainer for rhap.

[America]

When you see our video.

[Rob Cicerone]

When you see our video, you think I haven't talked about this in a meeting before? Yeah.

[America]

This is when you see our trio doing Animal Flow outside. You know, the videos of, like, us doing some sort of. Yeah. Yoga. Just mind your business. We're having fun.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay. All right, so that's your. The two of your relationship with Keanu moving forward. What do you think that Rachel's relationship with Keanu looks like outside the house?

[America]

I think they'll be tight.

[Corey]

They'll be besties. Like, Brendan's been rooting for Keanu the whole time, ultimately, like, Keanu coming out.

[Rob Cicerone]

To stay at Rachel and Brendan's house at some point.

[America]

I think so. And he's so close too. He's from Texas. He's right there. Right in Alabama. It's a couple states over. I think they're gonna be besties. Game aside. Like, Keanu really, like, he wasn't talking shit about Rachel, like, personally like that. So at least I don't remember. Maybe he did. I don't remember. You know what I mean? But it was like. It was game where he was, like, really stubborn.

[Corey]

Also, the real benefit of. Of White Locust getting Rachel as Keanu couldn't, because that would have been a disaster. So crisis averted. I think they'll be buddies.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay. All right. The Keanu segment ends with one big question from Rachel.

[America]

Secret's out. I have to ask Keanu. Keanu, was that you that peed on the floor?

[Rob Cicerone]

I really don't know. Not a good answer.

[America]

I don't know. Was not a no.

[Rob Cicerone]

Not a good answer.

[Corey]

When he lies, though, he has this line that pisses me off. He always goes, that doesn't even make any sense to, like, someone saying two plus two equals four. So the fact that he didn't say that, I think is a good sign. But Keanu's a tall guy.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah.

[Corey]

Tougher aiming job. Like, I think it just makes you.

[Rob Cicerone]

Peed on the floor. Would you know? Because I would say that this is a question that I am often asking as a dad. You know, I come in and I find bathrooms just nightmares. And then I have to say, who did this? Who did this? Because this is so gross, that this is, like, disgusting that mom is gonna have to clean this.

[America]

Who did this, Mom? Really?

[Rob Cicerone]

Who did this? Nicole, you're not gonna believe this. You're not gonna be happy.

[Corey]

Look, I. I think I have some sympathy for Kianu here. Look, I'm not speaking for myself. I have a friend, a very close friend who has, like, a split scream. And sometimes it's harder to aim for. Some people, they're born that way and it happens. So I think Keanu, if he's in that boat, we should all have a bit more grace.

[America]

And for some reason, you never notice.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. To all these people. Clean it yourself. It wasn't me. I didn't do it.

[Corey]

Yeah, look, I think it's either Keanu or Kelly or my theory, but both.

[Rob Cicerone]

You think it was Kelly? He was one of Kelly's pranks. Maybe.

[Corey]

I actually, what is more likely, she was instigating.

[America]

That was her instigating. She's like, I'm here to irritate you.

[Rob Cicerone]

And what's more irritating than stepping in urine? Think about it.

[Corey]

Oh, my God. Hoh. Lockdown. The month of mayhem. The mastermind sneaks into the bathroom, starts peeing on the floor.

[Rob Cicerone]

All right, let's go back to our final three, because I know it's a. We were, like, really cutting away from them for a long time. We got to get back to the final three. And of course they tell us, hey, living with Rachel. Remember? Remember that? Remember all the crazy stories she had? Okay, let's frickin go. And we hear the story of potato, the mouse from day 59. What the hell?

[America]

Poor Potato. It doesn't surprise me. You can never have a rodent as a pet. You always have, like, some disaster stories. I had a friend who had a hamster, and the hamster went missing, and they found the hamster, like, a week later underneath, like, the dog food. And he had, like, gotten into the dog food and, like, eaten his way down. And he was so fat that he couldn't move, and he was, like, dead. Anyway, I'm sorry, but anyway, there's always some trash.

[Rob Cicerone]

Rachel had a sad hamster story, too, but that's more of, we need to go back and look at her game.

[Corey]

So do we think potato?

[America]

I'm like, Aww.

[Corey]

Do we happen to know where Kelly was at the time of Potato's death?

[America]

She does like playing here. It irritates you.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. Yeah. So the potato, the mouse. Adora wanted a pet mouse. Now I. Look, Cory, you tell me if you said as a child I'd like a pet mouse, is Stephanie going out and buying a mouse for you?

[Corey]

Here's what I think would happen at this age. I think what would happen is I would start with a dog and then negotiate down to a mouse as a car compromise. And I think. I don't think Adora went Mouse as her first pick.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay, you don't think so? Because, yeah, my parents would never again. But I haven't. I don't know. I don't know if my parents were, like, absurdly strict or is that the norm? America, would your parents let you have a mouse?

[America]

I wouldn't let myself have a mouse. That's disgusting.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yes. And I know. I. Listen. I've been doing this podcast for long enough, and I do so many calls with people, and they show me their animals. I know Mel Hooker is there, and I've seen her rats and other people show us their. So I know people have exotic pets. So I don't know how rare it is for a child to have a pet mouse.

[Corey]

Well, we have, like, seven pet rats outside of our apartment.

[Rob Cicerone]

Was that what was making that noise before?

[Corey]

Oh, my God. Do you think it's Potato? How far is it?

[Rob Cicerone]

Is Potato, like, coming to your house to be on the podcast?

[Corey]

He does have red eyes. Wait a second. That's interesting. Okay.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. So Big Brother tells the story of. I don't know necessarily, like, what the point of Big Brother was trying to tell us by this point. Was Big Brother trying to dunk on that Rachel thought Potato went to college and that Will was getting the. Was laughing at Rachel that she thought Potato made it. And the joke was to Will that Potato. No, Potato's not gonna make it.

[Corey]

I think it was pretty clear that Rachel was doing the whole, like, my pet didn't die. It went to Hawaii is what you tell the kids. And I think they have this segment only because Will's drs were funny.

[America]

Yeah, that's it.

[Rob Cicerone]

But we're not saying. The show isn't saying, like, wait, what? Why does Rachel have a pet mouse?

[America]

I don't think so.

[Corey]

No shame in that.

[America]

I thought it was so funny, though.

[Rob Cicerone]

How I thought they were mouse shame.

[Corey]

It's Alabama. Everyone's got a pet mouse or two.

[America]

Do they?

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah.

[America]

Okay.

[Rob Cicerone]

I did see Brendan on chat, BCC said this is a true story.

[Corey]

I mean, I mean, yeah, I believe.

[Rob Cicerone]

This is not Rachel, like, clout chasing with the mouse. With the mouse fans for afv votes.

[Corey]

Well, let's just play this out. If Rachel came in with a lie about the mouse, do you think Brendan's gonna rat her out?

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay. All right. We had a montage of does Morgan have two left feet? Which was frankly kind of rude when Vince was saying, like, what do you. What will you remember about me? Well, I'll remember that you had two left feet. Rude.

[Corey]

Well, he's been trying to grab her two left feet every night.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. Did we notice that Morgan tripped a lot in the house else?

[America]

No, that's not what she's known for. She's also a comp beast. Like, she's so athletic.

[Rob Cicerone]

I just saw so many times on x.com Morgan be tripping, and I guess I just was. I didn't know what they were talking. Literally.

[America]

I can't believe you're calling it X, Rob. I was like, what? What? Wait a minute.

[Corey]

You and Nikki.

[Rob Cicerone]

X dot com. Yeah. That's what Kelsey is to Vince.

[America]

That's a good one.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay. All right. That was my least favorite segment. Morgan has two left p. I was lame. Okay, so then we got a segment. I forget how they set this up. That. Ashley, you're so dumb. Just like the Zingbot wrote these segments straight up.

[America]

It was so rude. I'm like, damn. They really don't think she's got a shot at winning.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. Okay, so let's shame Ashley for her lack of knowledge about Katy Perry's space mission.

[Corey]

I think Ashley confused the moon with woman's world. I'm pretty sure is what happened there.

[America]

But no, it's space because she did go to space.

[Corey]

No, she went to space, which is like knowing she went to space. Where else would she go if.

[Rob Cicerone]

Say that one more time.

[America]

Say it slower, babe.

[Corey]

She goes to space. How many different destinations are there that she can go to? She's not going to Venus. She's not going through the astronaut. I think moon is the most likely outcome, right?

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. So everybody else, she, like, went up.

[America]

And then, like, free fall, like, down.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. Everybody else is very much on top of the Katy Perry moon mission. But yeah, Ash, Ashley felt like that she went to outer space. I would love to have seen a debate between Ashley and Brooklyn about this issue. Ashley's like, I'm telling you, Katy Perry went to the moon. And Brooklyn's like, no way. It did not happen. That is not True.

[Corey]

Yeah. Brooklyn's like, which moon? But yeah, no, that'd be a good one.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. All right. I just don't know why they made a whole meal out of this that Katy Perry went to space for 10 minutes for just dunking on Ashley about not knowing about Katy Perry's moon mission. Okay. All right. Requests in the diary room. I have so many questions for you two about this. So are there points? When does the person in the diary room say to you, hey, got any requests for us for Mr. B?

[America]

No. They just say, if you ever need something, go to the doctor and ask for it.

[Corey]

Yeah. And they also say, yeah, we got you.

[America]

And then you never get it.

[Rob Cicerone]

You never get the thing. Okay. Because we always get. This is such a staple of. Okay. This is the segment where the house guests ask us for things and they ask us for the craziest things.

[America]

Like, hi, do you know where I would acquire boob tape?

[Rob Cicerone]

Yes. Where may I acquire boob tape now? Okay. At the risk. And tell me if this is an overstep at any point. America. And Corey, is there specific boob tape? Because I don't know. Okay, I know. Would you just get like a double sided tape? Like, does Scotch make these special boob tape?

[America]

Y' all are such. Guys, there is boob tape.

[Rob Cicerone]

Boob tape.

[America]

You know, it's when you're wearing, like, low cut stuff that you can't wear a bra for, like backless things.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yes.

[America]

You wear the boob tape to hold them in place. And it's. It's a special type of tape.

[Rob Cicerone]

It's a special. Is it branded as boob tape?

[America]

Yes.

[Rob Cicerone]

Wow.

[America]

I'm pretty sure when I've gotten it, it's from, like the. Where like the pasties are like, that.

[Rob Cicerone]

Kind of boob tape.

[Corey]

I keep looking.

[Rob Cicerone]

Is that a name brand? Is it like Kleenex or do they have like a specific name of the brand?

[America]

I don't think so.

[Corey]

Their mascot, Mr. Boob.

[America]

I don't know. But I guarantee that she probably didn't get it. They probably told her, wait till you're hoh. That's when you'll get it in your basket.

[Corey]

Wait until you're hoh.

[Rob Cicerone]

That's usually what we got.

[America]

Yeah.

[Corey]

I'm surprised this is what you got hung up on. Rob the boob tape instead of Adrian.

[Rob Cicerone]

No, I didn't get. I didn't get there yet. That's next. First I want to ask about the boob tape.

[America]

Hold it, Corey.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. Don't jump ahead. Okay. Adrian was the star of this segment. We didn't see any other Adrian tonight except for in the. Adrian had like a list of like, things that, like, my kids are like, writing to Santa. Like a wish list of like, we're not getting that. We're not getting that. We're not getting that. We're not getting the Lego Death Star. That's 900. And he wanted among the things, a three foot lint roller. And my question is, why was Ms. Felicia cutting her toenails in his bed? Why does he need a three foot lint roller?

[America]

Maybe he's still fighting them. Honestly, two years later, they don't do a very good job.

[Rob Cicerone]

Is that because there's too many ants in the bed with a three foot lint roller do the trick there?

[Corey]

I'm not sure the. I think Adrian might have been doing Mad Libs in the diary.

[America]

Yeah, I'm like, what is. What is he building?

[Corey]

He was like a three foot yellow lint roller. And then it was like a thousand pound brick. That's edible.

[America]

Hot pink toilet paper.

[Rob Cicerone]

Hot pink toilet paper was on his list. There was one word that he kept saying over and over. Like topiary, terpiary. I'm not sure what the word was. He kept saying over and over again.

[America]

I don't know what he's.

[Rob Cicerone]

I was trying to figure out the coup de grace for Adrian. Can I get an edible? All right, now when he says, all right, Adrian, come on now. Come on. We're on cbs, buddy. That's one thing. You don't know who Taryn is, but you gotta know you can't have an edible on Big Brother.

[America]

They told him to wait until he's hoh.

[Rob Cicerone]

Oh my God.

[Corey]

We had so many code words for weed in the house.

[Rob Cicerone]

Maybe in the jury house.

[Corey]

Oh my God. That was another conversation we had in the house of several people being like, so when we're in the jury house, do you think we're gonna have access? I'm like, we're not gonna have access to anything.

[Rob Cicerone]

Can I get an edible?

[America]

Sounded like he's already on it. I don't think he needed another one.

[Corey]

That would explain a lot.

[Rob Cicerone]

It would explain so much because eventually maybe it's the munchies and this is one of the things that he wants. Okay, okay, but can I get an edible? What would you want, Adrian? What? An edible what?

[Corey]

Delicious brick.

[Rob Cicerone]

An edible delicious brick. You know, cuz that last week I asked for an edible brick and you brought back the most disgusting, foul tasting brick that I ever had in my life. So can I please, for the love of God, get an edible delicious brick.

[Corey]

My theory. Fudge. It's the only thing I could think of that's like a brick shape. He's going in there, requesting food is the norm. My theory.

[America]

No, but I think it's just a brick. He was asking for all sorts of wacky things.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah, because why would it need to be edible delicious.

[America]

Exactly.

[Rob Cicerone]

Like, isn't most fudge edible?

[Corey]

I think he's the hardest house guest I've ever had a time figuring out. I cannot understand what makes his wheels turn. A super fan who hates lying, who loves competitions but doesn't campaign but wants to eat bricks. These pieces don't fit together.

[America]

Whose top four includes BB25. I just don't understand.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. Do we have his contact info? Can we contact Adrian and Anthony? Ask him, is he in your phones yet?

[Corey]

No, but he's on Lives with Everybody. Rob. Like, I think this is a. This is a get.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. Okay, let's see. Can we get. Can we get Adrian to call into the show? Can we do that right now?

[America]

Yeah.

[Rob Cicerone]

What will you do?

[America]

I'm like, maybe I can just scroll through Tik Tok right now. I'm sure somebody will pop.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. All right. If. If we can get access to Adrian, give him the link to the show. I want to find out what's going on on with this edible brick. Okay. And if Catherine wants to come on, she could talk about the boob tape. We'll ask Catherine about the boob tape and if she's still dating Riley. Both of those things we'll find out. Okay. Boy. How about a jump scare that Riley was back tonight.

[America]

Oh, my God.

[Corey]

I'm glad Riley called out the other house guests for being inconsiderate of each.

[America]

Other for when he did it.

[Corey]

He said, everyone's eating all the English muffins. People really need to treat others.

[Rob Cicerone]

I didn't really suspect Riley as being a big English muffin guy. Black nail polish. I don't know. I. I guess I feel like that English muffin. I guess I. I guess I have people all wrong. I thought he was like, they were too fancy.

[America]

An edible brick guy.

[Rob Cicerone]

He's a brick guy. Yeah, but on Sunday night, do you think that Julie Chen Moonvest will ask Riley and Catherine about their relationship?

[America]

You know what? I think she will, because CBS has been trying so hard to be like. See, she does like him, you know?

[Rob Cicerone]

Are they still together?

[Corey]

I don't think so.

[America]

I heard she was in Oklahoma. I'm sure you heard too, Rob.

[Rob Cicerone]

I thought I heard that they weren't together. So. I don't know.

[America]

I saw it on Twitter.

[Rob Cicerone]

Steph let us know.

[Corey]

I know Julie's gonna be like, so, Catherine, are you still with Riley? She's gonna be like, no. Julie's gonna be like, why not? Come on.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah, she was in Oklahoma this week. Okay. So maybe she. Maybe they are. Maybe. Maybe he's gonna propose at the finale.

[America]

I think. I think she. Hopefully not. Oh, my God. I don't want to see that. But I think she'll ask or they'll give us some sort of update and let us know that they're, like, on good terms or whatever.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay. Okay.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Rob Cicerone]

All right. What else? Mickey said there are ants in the bed.

[Corey]

I was never in the hoh bed.

[America]

Wouldn't know.

[Rob Cicerone]

Wouldn't know. Okay. All right. Morgan shouts out all the BB legends this season. Thank you to all the BB legends this season. All the BB legends. There was Tyler, there was Casey. There was Angela. There was Felicia. And then, of course, legends Liz and Julia.

[America]

Yeah.

[Rob Cicerone]

Were also in Big Brother 27. Cheers to them. Cheers to the legends that made this season possible.

[Corey]

I've never been more confident about the Liz appearance in big Brother All Stars 3. This feels like a lock, right?

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah.

[America]

It wasn't. Insane pool. I did not expect to see them back.

[Corey]

That background check is going to have.

[Rob Cicerone]

What percentage of the audience considers Liz and Julia to be legends?

[America]

130%.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay.

[America]

It's a deep cut.

[Corey]

What you got the BB17 sound.

[America]

What?

[Rob Cicerone]

We're pulling out all the stops. We're having fun.

[America]

Special recap of the recap.

[Rob Cicerone]

More people are watching this than survivor know it alls this week. Big brother is hot.

[Corey]

Survivor started.

[Rob Cicerone]

Debatable. Okay. All right. But now. All right, everybody strap in. All right, we have the segment of the night. Okay. We have the segment where we're going to find out a little bit about Ava and what does Ava like? Of course, we know all about Ava from all summer long, but there's one man that Ava says can get it. Sorry, Ava's boyfriend. Anytime he wants, this man can get it.

[America]

Who was the guy that played Teddy Roosevelt in night at the museum?

[Corey]

Oh, God.

[America]

He's super famous comedian.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay. All right. We got crickets and we have to get inside the minds of the big brother producers. Here are. Are we a in shock that does Ava not know very sadly that Robin Williams is no longer with us?

[America]

She probably doesn't know.

[Corey]

I don't know if the producers knew.

[America]

Yeah, she knows, honestly, like, it was within like 10 years or would you rather.

[Rob Cicerone]

Or are we saying that Robin Williams, even though he is no longer with us, is not an attractive man for Ava to have a crush on?

[America]

Yeah, they were all yucking her. Yum. I didn't. I. First off, I thought she was right. Beloved Robin Williams. Have you seen him in Hook?

[Corey]

No.

[America]

You haven't seen that movie? I'll show you the movie later. But he's. He's Peter Pan in it. He looks good. I get it. For a minute there, I thought they were gonna say red, because I heard her talking about red earlier this week. I fully thought. When she was talking about her man, I'm like, oh, my God.

[Rob Cicerone]

Red.

[Corey]

Red.

[America]

BB25 in the turlet. Straight up.

[Corey]

I didn't see the UI at one point, how you got to the room.

[America]

The sigh of relief when I'm like, oh, it's Robin Williams. Okay.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah.

[America]

They're going this direction.

[Corey]

Super disrespectful. But, like, that's how she knows Robin Williams. Teddy Roosevelt in Night at the Moon.

[Rob Cicerone]

Teddy Roosevelt. Now, famously, that's a big role. Teddy Roosevelt would speak softly and carry a big stick, so. Oh, maybe, you know, he's a Rough Rider, they say.

[America]

I didn't see that version of the movie. That's the extended cut, I guess.

[Corey]

But he's a trust buster.

[Rob Cicerone]

Trust buster.

[America]

But she's young, so that's her generation. That's what she grew up with. You know what I mean?

[Corey]

Roosevelt.

[America]

No, with the night at the museum.

[Corey]

I was like, I don't know. It's a while ago.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. And then they started Talking about that Mrs. Doubtfire also was. You know, that his wife and Mrs. Doubtfire didn't even go for him at the end of the movie.

[Corey]

Oh, Mrs. Doubtfire could get it.

[Rob Cicerone]

Spoiler alert.

[America]

Hello.

[Corey]

We could put everything else aside. Like, is one thing we agree on. Yeah.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. But Ava. Yeah. Very much attracted to Robin Williams, and everybody was like, no, the genie cannot get it. I feel like that the genie is just the voice of Robin Williams. I mean, what was wrong with the genie?

[Corey]

That's one of my wishes. Getting busy with the genie.

[Rob Cicerone]

The genie could turn himself into, like, a muscular figure at any point, contort his body into any shape. Why wouldn't you want to get with the genie?

[Corey]

The Will Smith Genie made me feel differently about this.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay, sure. Now, listen, you date the Will Smith Genie. He's gonna defend you. He's not gonna let anybody put your name in their mouth. Okay? That's for sure. But the Robin Williams genie, he's so funny. He get three wishes, America.

[America]

He sings too.

[Corey]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Rob Cicerone]

You ain't never had a friend like me.

[America]

I. I don't. Look, I agree with Ava. I. Yeah. Names about Robin. About the genie too. I'm like, I get it. He's funny. I love a funny guy.

[Rob Cicerone]

Genie was funny. And that he's not even stuck in the bottle anymore. He has magic. He could make an edible brick for you. A delicious edible brick like that. Boob tape. As much as you want think about name.

[Corey]

Yeah, that would be a. I think that'd be a waste of a wish for boob tape.

[Rob Cicerone]

Boob tape.

[Corey]

Gotta think of something better.

[America]

What would you wish for? Hi. Do you know where I would acquire boob tape?

[Rob Cicerone]

Where would I acquire that?

[Corey]

Maybe the genie would just know the answer. Doesn't have to take up a wish.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. I mean, genie has the magic carpet, everything.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Rob Cicerone]

Think about it.

[Corey]

You. You have a lot of genie follow up questions. I was not ready for this.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. I just thought they were like all over Ava for that one. So. I don't know. I feel like of the Robin Williams things, I would say Gene, Jeannie first can get it, then Teddy Roosevelt, then.

[America]

Mrs. Doubtfire or I'm gonna do Fuck Mary kill. Is that one with the three?

[Rob Cicerone]

I would say f, Teddy Roosevelt, marry the genie and kill Mrs. Doubtfire.

[Corey]

Wow. Yeah.

[America]

Because when you think about Mrs. Doubtfire, like, that's kind of like, like messed up.

[Rob Cicerone]

Would be like a sex offender. I think at this point where you know, if you, if you divorce dressed up, you divorce your husband and then he dresses up like a woman to get a babysitting job taking care of your kids and you divorce them.

[America]

That's not funny.

[Corey]

Wow. The Rob the Robin Williams slander session is crazy.

[America]

It's the Mrs. Doubt Fire. Don't get it twisted.

[Rob Cicerone]

It wasn't a documentary.

[America]

Write the movie.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah, okay. Robin Williams, very notoriously hairy and sweaty.

[Corey]

Is that. Oh, I guess so.

[Rob Cicerone]

Famously.

[America]

Is it?

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah.

[America]

I've never heard of that.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah.

[Corey]

I think Robin Williams Jumanji is top.

[Rob Cicerone]

Oh, yes.

[America]

Yeah, you're right.

[Corey]

What about Popeye?

[Rob Cicerone]

There's a whole Mork and Mindy. He's got a whole, whole IMDb could go down for Ava.

[Corey]

Rob, did you mention the segment about Jimmy targeting Rachel yet?

[Rob Cicerone]

You know, it was such a nut. That could be.

[Corey]

That could be the most nothing burger segment I've ever seen. Remember when in week one, Jimmy was targeting day one?

[America]

It was so weird.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. I don't know. It's. And some people Didn't. Weren't happy that Rachel was there from the start. And we had like a. Like, like in the first, like, five hours of the show here was Jimmy.

[America]

I mean, this. This just solidifies. It's like Rachel was the star of the season. Like, they spent most of the episode just talking about Keanu and Rachel. Keanu and Rachel. That was it.

[Corey]

You know, it was pretty obvious to me what was happening. This episode of. Because of Big Brother Unlocked, they've already used a lot of their, like, funny segments they'd use here. So I think this is just what's left.

[Rob Cicerone]

Another reason. Reason to pile on Big Brother Unlock is that it's killing the recap episode.

[Corey]

And it's all the host choices.

[America]

Just another reason.

[Corey]

Messed up.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. I think maybe the only person that got less than Riley tonight might have been Amy.

[America]

Yeah, she did have one thing.

[Rob Cicerone]

I feel like she went on, like, a little bit of, like, a rant in the diary. Was that in the crying segment maybe?

[America]

Yeah, she was just crying a lot. I don't know what she was crying about.

[Corey]

Mommy tearest, right?

[America]

Yeah, she's crying about something. We literally got, like, nothing.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. Well, that's the next segment. Everybody who cried in the diary room. Now, when you all. I don't remember any specifics, but I'm sure it's a long game. There might have been some crying in the diary room. Do you say to them, like, don't put this in the montage.

[America]

No, I cried. I'm like, you know, I'm like, they're gonna put it. They're gonna put it on, you know, and it's so. It's so annoying too, because you're, like, talking to them and then you start crying and they're like, it's okay. It's okay. I'm like, shut up. You did this to me. Like, this is your fault. You're just watching this happen. Like, you could have given me a heads up, you know? They're like, I'm so sorry.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. You know, it is funny. I had this thought as I was watching the crying segment of that this is a show where we bring these people into this, like, psychological hundred day experiment, and we play with their emotions to the point that they break down in, like, in our confidence and in our care. These people are breaking down mentally in front of us, and that's our bloopers for the summer. This is all the people that we have put into such distress. They're having a breakdown. Cue the wacky music. Get ready to watch people cry.

[Corey]

Rob did you watch the Vince existential crisis segment last episode? Like they don't care.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah, but I love that also. That's pretty good. But I felt like that, like when Zach was crying, it's like, oh.

[America]

It went out for way too long and.

[Rob Cicerone]

It might have been when Zay got voted out. And if that's the case, then it was funny.

[America]

Yeah.

[Corey]

Yeah, that's what it was about.

[Rob Cicerone]

[Rob Cicerone]

See mintmobile.com we saw everybody crying. Rachel had to scrub the tile floor. Zach was crying a lot. I think we saw Amy in there. Everybody Crying.

[America]

I mean, it's normal. It's a tough game and people just don't get it. They're like, oh, if I were in there, I wouldn't cry. Yes, you would. It's. There's a lot of pressure and it gets to you. It's overwhelming.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah.

[Corey]

So you'll start crying and then they'll call you in.

[America]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Corey]

Yeah. So you're never safe.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay, we got our set up for part three of the HOH where we were doing what was the conceit here? The mastermind has another layer and there's like.

[Corey]

Okay, let me break this down. This is simple. BB City is over here. You know about BB City? And then the mastermind's lair was destroyed in the premiere.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yes.

[Corey]

Remember that? That was Zach saved Julie from the mastermind. And the mastermind also has a train. Yeah, Remember that? The express. So he took the train from BB City to one of the of several remote islands that is near BB City. And they're using the helicopter drones to locate Said.

[America]

I love the lore. I think it's pretty simple.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah, we're all in on the lore. Yeah.

[Corey]

Rob, do you know. Do you happen to know anybody, perhaps with the name Rob who spent some time on N island?

[Rob Cicerone]

I actually know most of the Robs I know spent a lot of time on an island.

[Corey]

Rob with two B's is the mastermind.

[Rob Cicerone]

Oh, my God. Could be.

[Corey]

He's local. That's something.

[Rob Cicerone]

You can get him. Okay. Does the mastermind have a skateboard? Did they check that? Did he skate off after beating the Zingbot?

[Corey]

I'm surprised after executing Zingbot he didn't skateboard away. That have been cool.

[Rob Cicerone]

He should pay for what he did to the Zingbot for sure.

[Corey]

Okay.

[Rob Cicerone]

All right, so we got a part three or. Or a three part hoh. Part one has kicked off. And we know what happened in part one and part two. And so we're gonna talk about it here. And I'm gonna hit the spoiler music because we've got maybe a developing situation heading into our Big Brother finale. If you're gonna leave, I'll see you Sunday night. And for everybody else, let's talk about it. The Office of Civil Defense has issued the following message. This is a spoiler warning. A spoiler warning means that an actual spoiler against this country has been detected and that protective action should be taken. Okay. All right. Part one of the hoh. We saw this in the episode Getting Started. Corey. How did it go down?

[Corey]

It was a lot of spinning Vince does not like to spin. Not a spinner. It falls down very quickly. It ends up which based off of.

[Rob Cicerone]

How we hear him talk to people, he typically is a very big spinner.

[Corey]

Yeah, he knows how to spin, but not in this comp. Ends up Ashley versus Morgan. And I think much like the turbines on these vehicles, it was a blowout. Rob Morgan took part one pretty effortlessly.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay. All right. So part two of the HOH came today and we found out Corey, who won part two of the final hoh.

[Corey]

So in part two, we usually think it's a mix of physical and mental, something Vince has been very good at. But apparently Vince failed to understand the role of rules of this comp and blew a 20 to 30 minute lead, which allowed the one and only Ashley Kirby.

[America]

What does that even mean, though? 20 to 30 minutes? What competition was it that he was like, I was so far ahead and I blew it. Don't underestimate Ashley.

[Rob Cicerone]

How.

[Corey]

Yeah, so Ashley's there. We have a part three of Ashley versus Morgan, which is like, okay, okay, Drama's back.

[Rob Cicerone]

Drama is back. And so let's talk it through. If Morgan wins part three of the final hoh, she will presumably vote out Ashley. Is that correct?

[America]

Yeah.

[Corey]

The thing is, Ashley's got a lot of leverage now to make a deal. Those two people in part three, that's like a really useful position to be in because both of them are going to be lying to each other in the event that they lose. And like, any chance that Morgan had of cutting Vince, maybe it was zero, maybe it was 1%. It's bigger today than it was yesterday.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay. And then if Ashley wins, she will cut Morgan and take Vince. It'll be shades of BB17. Speaking of the legends, Liz and Julia, when Steve cut Vanessa and talk took Julia to the end Liz and then went on to win BB17. Can I. @ the risk of being canceled for having an unpopular take, I will say I would like to see Morgan win the final competition and take Vince to the end and win Big Brother 27.

[Corey]

Explain why.

[America]

Really?

[Rob Cicerone]

I just think. Yeah, I think that Ashley would be a nice story. I. I wouldn't be against it. And certainly, you know, anybody who can, you know, find a way to the end and not win all of the competitions. I kind of. I hate that she won the first veto. I feel like this would be a better story if she didn't win any competitions. Well, I guess she. And total the final one. I guess she won the first veto and then the final HOH and then goes on to win. I just feel like that Morgan has dominated this game for the last month and a half by like her sheer force of will. I like the fact that you know that this, all this Vince and Morgan drama, I think that's been the story of the season. I think that there is something to it of like this very complicated relationship ending up being the final two of the season. It would be, I think, think very. See, it would be funnier if Vince cut Morgan and went to the end with Ashley and and then lost to Ashley. Like that would be funnier and I would like that. But I, I think that I would like to see. I, I know that Ashley is incredibly popular and I hope that this does not come across as an anti Ashley take. I'll say that this is a pro. Morgan take that. I just feel like that she wanted it so badly.

[Corey]

Yeah, I have a couple. Like the dominance of the season, like that is true. Morgan dominated the jury phase because she was immune. Every single week.

[America]

It's because of comp wins. And I'm like, I just first off, of course I prefer a woman comp beast over a guy comp beast because that's so lame. But it's still like just she was a target so many times but she was able to win out is just kind of boring to me. I'll take her being the winner, but I'd prefer Ashley. I'm rooting for Ashley.

[Corey]

Why can't we have the best of both worlds, Rob? I think Morgan winning and getting paranoid that Vince is like some mastermind who's going to get the votes cutting Vince for no reason. She's going to win unanimously. She wins anyway.

[Rob Cicerone]

Deal. I'll take that Morgan then.

[America]

Something dramatic.

[Rob Cicerone]

Well, I won't break up. I'll sign up for this right now. You talk me into this and this is why Corey is going to going to be an excellent lawyer. Okay.

[America]

Because two seconds.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. It took two seconds to figure this out. I would like to see Morgan win the final hoh and cut Vince and when he is at his most confident that he is going to get to second place at the least and maybe go on to win for him to get cut by Morgan, to not even get top two money and then to come out of the house and learn about what's going on [e-mail] I mean, that would be a very funny ending.

[America]

That'd be juicy.

[Corey]

The sequence of Vince being evicted, walking out, having to ask a jury question immediately and then inevitably voting for Morgan to win. That's just thematic. That's a good. That's when we start talking about. Is it actually scripted?

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. So for him not to even get 75k for second place, like, that would be a very funny ending to the season.

[Corey]

Well, let me throw another scenario at both you. How do we feel about Ashley wins, takes Vince and then loses? Because that, like, possibility. I don't think it's likely, but it's more likely after this jury segment than it was before.

[Rob Cicerone]

You think so? I just think that people are going to. That you have. If it's Ashley versus Vince. Okay. Rachel is a loyal person. Yeah. I know that Rachel, like, really respects the game, but at the end of the day, that Rachel is a horrible enemy to have and a great friend to have. And I think that she's going to. She'll vote for her friend if she's there. Will is going to vote. Vote for Ashley when she's there. Ava is going to vote for Ashley. That's three already like it that Vince is gonna sweep Kelly. He's gonna sweep Keanu. He's gonna need those.

[Corey]

Ashley as well.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. And Ashley. And that's right. That's right. He's gonna sweep Morgan. Maybe he. Maybe he gets Morgan and maybe Lauren.

[Corey]

I think Morgan. Lauren are like, locks for Vince in this scenario until they find out that they're both.

[Rob Cicerone]

Both gonna vote for him, and then Morgan's gonna end up flipping.

[Corey]

Well, Rachel said it like it is. Vince has both these women on a string. He's playing them the whole time, Rob. So, like, those votes should be locked. I think what's worrying for me about Vince's chances is, like. Or I guess Ashley's chances. I know. I've seen Keanu talk about not voting for Vince. I've also seen Keanu for 85 days play big brother. Yeah, he's gonna vote for Vince.

[Rob Cicerone]

He's gonna vote for Ashley's gonna have a great speech. Vince is gonna blow it in his speech. Like, Vince can talk to people one on one until everybody what they want to hear. He will melt down having to answer questions with seven different people listening that are gonna cast a vote. So it's not a good spot for him either. So I don't think that he will fare well in the final two.

[America]

I can already hear it, like, his speech being about how, like, anxious he has been and how he's just very shy with people. Yeah, Stuff like that.

[Corey]

He might be riding a high, though. Like, he might think, oh, my God, I'm gonna win. Because he obviously thinks super lowly of Ashley. He didn't even have to cut Morgan. His relationship is intact now. He's there at the final two against the worst player of all time. In his eyes. Like, I think we could get a pretty confident Vince in the final two. It's just like, does anyone care?

[America]

This. This jury is just so unpredictable, and you can't even trust the jury segment that we're gonna get the jury roundtable. It's so choppy and so edited.

[Corey]

I don't know.

[Rob Cicerone]

We'll.

[America]

We'll see.

[Rob Cicerone]

We'll see. Is Vince cooked? Find out on Sunday night when we check out the finale of Big Brother 27. Is there anything else tonight that you want to add to this conversation? No.

[Corey]

Will's the best. I. They just need to. To bring him back for different things. I don't know if, like, a Big Brother player necessarily, but as a Big.

[America]

Brother character, not a player. I'm sorry, Will, but he was fun. But, you know, I didn't know you.

[Rob Cicerone]

Were such a big Will guy.

[Corey]

I was like, the biggest Will anti at the start of the season.

[America]

You and Boston Rob, babe.

[Corey]

Oh, Boston Rob loves. Loves some Will.

[America]

Yeah.

[Corey]

I just think. I don't know. Wait.

[Rob Cicerone]

He was number one in Boston Rob's power rankings, right? Right.

[America]

Yeah.

[Corey]

The. The week where the top three in the power ranking were all nominated the next day. Good. Good work, team.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. Okay. All right, well, when Will comes over for a barbecue, I'll invite you two to join us, please.

[America]

We're right there. East coast. Let's go.

[Rob Cicerone]

All right, let's go. All right. Anything else about tonight's episode? Of course. We've got so much coming up. We've got the finale recap. Oh, look at our designers. Or are already shipping a Morgan Ashley final two. So let's see what happens. We'll be live around 10:45pm Eastern time. Coming up on Sunday night with the king of late night reality TV recaps, Rob Cestrino. I'll be with you live. And then, just like last night when I talked about episode one of the Amazing Race, Cory, could you bring yourself to watch the Amazing Race race last night?

[Corey]

America was telling me some of the confessionals from the other room, and that was too much.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah.

[America]

We couldn't.

[Corey]

Absolutely not.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yes. Okay. How are you and Zach at human bowling?

[Corey]

That's why you don't see us in the episode, Rob. We're so far ahead. We're on the fourth leg right now.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. Okay. Amazing Race episode one. Recap. I got. I talked about it all with Mike Bloom and Jessica Le and I also talked to the first team eliminated from the Amazing Race earlier today. We also had our Survivor Know it all is a two hour Survivor on Wednesday night. Stephen Fishback and I broke it all down. Part of a big week of Survivor coverage here on rhap, including on Monday when all the fun we've been having on the slop rolls over into the Survivor season as Chappelle and I, we both go to different clubs every weekend, but we will be together for Club Club Condo on Patreon coming up on Monday, talking about all of the sloppy stuff from the Survivor season on Club Condo. And then if you want to be with us in person, Cory in America. We had so much fun with them. Where did you come to New New Orleans for the live show. And then were you fresh out the house? Houston.

[America]

Yeah.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yes. And then are you gonna be in New York? Maybe.

[America]

We'll check the schedule. We'll check the schedule. Yeah.

[Rob Cicerone]

October 8th for New York and November 5th for San Francisco. Robinsonwebset.com events if you want to be a part of that. And of course, check out the group chat, whether it's Big Brother, Survivor, even the Amazing race. Go to robinswebset.com VIP chat to join for free over on ChatBCC and find out out the details of which Big Brother alumni are fighting.

[Corey]

Oh, my God. Post finale chat about that. Here's the thing. We initially reached out to Rachel to join chat bcc and she's on Rachel. She said yes to us. So I think we're going to get some Rachel messages coming up pretty soon. So.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah, so Rachel. That Rachel has had a burner account on chat BCC the entire summer. And so. And Brendan has been super active on chat bcc. So I would imagine one of the first places that Rachel is going to be posting is going to be on.

[Corey]

Chat bcc and then we're going to have to ask, is it Rachel or Brendan again?

[Rob Cicerone]

Is it Rachel or Brendan? No. Yeah. Okay. So go ahead and check that [e-mail] VIP chat if you're listening to the podcast or you could look for any of the links for chat bcc, but this was super fun. Have we done a podcast like this before?

[Corey]

I think we've done several, but maybe not.

[Rob Cicerone]

Not just us.

[America]

No, we haven't done the recap.

[Corey]

Oh, I guess we did our little Amazon debrief. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Rob Cicerone]

That's right. That's right, that's right. But we didn't get to talk about an episode.

[America]

Not Big Brother.

[Rob Cicerone]

Okay, well, this Was incredible. There were zero moments. If anything, the things that have to get cut out of this podcast were things I said.

[Corey]

I don't know.

[Rob Cicerone]

She's on the other foot. Yeah, you.

[Corey]

And you brought up some dangerous topics. It was a gauntlet.

[Rob Cicerone]

It's Friday night, baby.

[America]

You keep us on our toes.

[Rob Cicerone]

Yeah. Okay. It's the recap of the recap. This is only for no haters are watching this. This is only for the lovers.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Rob Cicerone]

The true fans.

[Corey]

The patron only podcast that goes out to the public.

[Rob Cicerone]

Mm. Yeah. All right, so what's next for you two? What do you have coming up this weekend, then?

[Corey]

The finale? You know, it's literally.

[America]

We're not in la. Yeah, well, we'll fomo because we're not in la. Everyone's partying over there. But I want to watch the episode. And we found that whenever we go to these watch parties, not the rhap ones, I will be very clear. Y' all do a great job, but we do it. It's not like a party exactly. So whenever we go to watch parties, we have a hard time watching the episode and. And we really want to watch the episode. So we'll be here watching the show. We're going to Patriots game on Sunday, too. That'll be fun.

[Rob Cicerone]

Oh, always fun. Yeah.

[Corey]

Panthers. It's going to be a great one.

[Rob Cicerone]

My local team, me and Will, are rooting against the Patriots. So now, Sunday night, then, will you go to sweet Kenny K's watch party after? Who will be there? Sweet Kenny K. Derek Levasseur.

[Corey]

[America]
