Emily Flippen Talks Big Brother 28

Big Brother 28 is stirring as the line between the returnees and new houseguests becomes impossible to ignore. Host Rob Cesternino sits down with guest Emily Flippin for a lively recap, diving into the tense social dynamics and early power plays shaping the house this season.

Emily shares her thoughts on the first HoH, Dee, and what it means for the game that both Dee and Devens are already aligned, calling them loyal allies likely to ride together unless the rest of the house catches on. The episode covers Dee’s challenging nominations, the “crossovers” alliance including Barrett and Drew, and Angela’s unique place as a returning Big Brother player. Socially, early showmances like Rome and Lyric are discussed as both distractions and potential targets, while new players like Kamu and Yash are evaluated for their low-key strategies and risk of becoming pawns. Emily also points out how the returning trio, by joining forces, paints a huge target that the newer houseguests—especially Jason—are eager to call out, even if it means putting their own games at risk.

Emily says Dee and Devens are fiercely loyal and will stick together unless the house forces them apart.
Jason’s push against the vets draws attention but might endanger his game, as Emily explains.
Angela may be a “loose cannon” in the alliance, with Dee and Devens weighing their long-term trust in her.
Barrett and Drew are playing the superfan game, but Emily wonders if they’ll flip on the vets when the time is right.
Emily notes Kamu’s under-radar social game could set him up to survive mid-game power flips.

With the returnees united but in the spotlight and alliances forming fast, the season’s power could shift at any moment. Will the new houseguests rally to target Dee, Devens, and Angela, or will divided loyalties give the trio room to run? Listen in for the full scoop and all the behind-the-scenes details you won’t want to miss.
