Aubry Bracco Talks Big Brother 28

Big Brother 28 is deep into chaos as alliances shift and eviction targets wobble, with the house fixated on the fallout from the HoH’s big move and the relentless push-pull over who stays and who goes. Hosts Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong are joined by special guest Aubry Bracco for a recap and strategy deep dive, unpacking the current shakeups and social maneuvering as the game’s pace tests even the most seasoned reality veterans.

This episode covers Devens’ reign as HoH and his struggle adapting to a position of power after mostly playing from the bottom, with discussions on his plan to target Rome and the resulting complications when the veto threatens to throw everything into question. Aubry delves into the differences between Survivor and Big Brother gameplay, especially around pacing and how alliances are built and tested over a week instead of a day. The trio breaks down the influence Dee and Angela wield in the group, Lyric’s social savvy resulting in safety, and the chaotic ripple that comes from changing targets and messy coalition-building. The influence of outside friendships, especially the Survivor/Big Brother crossover, is front and center as Dee, Devens, and Angela navigate loyalty and self-interest.

Aubry points out how Devens relies on feedback from his allies and finds working with others more comfortable than solo gameplay.
Taran notes Dee’s ability to connect with every type of player in the house, keeping her well-positioned even after making nominations.
The hosts observe Lyric’s impressive social maneuvering, getting almost everyone to support taking her off the block.
Aubry and Taran agree that Barrett risks being left behind if he lets Dee’s influence outpace his own relationships.
The struggle between acting boldly and maintaining trust comes up as Devens questions if the house will really back his Rome plan at eviction.

With shifting alliances and the week’s eviction plan up in the air, the balance of power could tip at any moment. Will Devens and his allies keep control, or is another blindside on the way? Tune in for the full breakdown of the latest moves and what might come next in Big Brother 28.
