Friday, August 14, 2026 — A New Dawn in the Big Brother House

Previously on the BB Live Feeds

12:00 AM BBT: Haley says Drew gave up his bed for her. Taylor says there are empty pods but Haley doesn't want a top bunk. Devens still has Dorito crumbs in his bed. Haley asks what happened. Devens doesn't want to talk about it. Haley says Julie Chen Moonves told her it pays to be a Division I athlete when she voted.

Haley says a decorative plasma ball in the room is making white noise. Kamu can't hear it. Haley asks Drew and he says it does make a noise. Kamu explains he has hearing loss in one ear from a training incident in a training elevation pod where his ear never popped correctly. Haley's sorry.

Kamu says Dee apparently thinks she's sleeping on the floor. Devens is piling extra clothes on his bed so nobody gets any ideas. Kamu reminds them that sleeping on the floor isn't allowed. Angela confirms it. Angela gets called to the DR, having assumed Dee was already in there. Kamu tells Barrett he's excited to get his bed back. Barrett mentions finding an unusually long gray hair in his eyebrow (And he's not even 30 yet! -- Fuskie). Devens says he gets those, but he's older (he's still only 42. -- Fuskie).

12:15 AM BBT: Kamu wants a bidet when he gets home. Devens mentions his favorite podcast, Tony Kornheiser, talked about heated toilet seats so often that Devens finally bought one. His wife wasn't particularly impressed (Try a heated bidet. It's life changing. -- Fuskie).

Barrett and Mallory are in the SR discussing slop recipes. Mallory samples several treats from the fridge and rates them. Barrett tells Mallory that Devens thinks Yash will target Haley, noting Yash picked Angela and Melody during the competition. He thinks the nominees could be Haley, Angela, and Dee or Melody. Mallory guesses Dee because Yash had mentioned her before.

12:30 AM BBT: Mallory wishes Yash would nominate Kamu, who she calls Poopy Head. She will do it herself if she wins HoH next week. In her eyes, Barrett was really the one who won tonight's comp. Mallory would nominate Poopy Head, Yash, and Dee given the chance. Barrett would nominate Poopy Head, Fan Girl, and the HouseGuest Fan Girl hates. Mallory takes a Gas-X after her stomach starts hurting from a few bites of ice cream.

Haley settles into Drew's old bed, saying she's completely drained. Drew moves to a pod. Taylor tells Haley she has nothing against her. Haley says Chuk would not have isolated LaLa the way LaLa did them (They isolated themselves. -- Fuskie). I won't be friends with someone like that, she tells Taylor.

Taylor says LaLa's been checked on her behavior, but doesn't seem to be listening. BB26 Angela and BB28 Angela are different people.

In the SR, Dee and Devens do a Happy Dance about "blowing up the house," cheering for America and shouting patriotic exclamations. Devens says they're in great shape. Dee says once they reach Jury, they need to lock things in. Dee sends a message to her parents partly in Spanish, telling them Devens is her best friend and that between them, they hold two powers. She and Devens feel confident about reaching Jury. Alone, Dee tells the camera she feels like a trapped zoo animal, wanting to act wild but knowing she has to stay composed since she's playing a game.

Haley tells Devens that Chuk and Barrett weren't close during Blockbuster, needing six balls total. Chuk only got one ball and Barrett was unable to knock off his last. Haley says she has played selflessly so far, but plans to pivot going forward. She tells Devens she wants to work with him and he agrees. Haley says Yash gets along well with everyone. Devens says Yash asked him if he wanted to compete in OTEV.

1:00 PM BBT: Production announces there are no Have Nots this week. Angela says it has to finally be over. Taylor dances around the house celebrating. She typically goes out for happy hour with friends on Thursdays, treating Fridays as a throwaway day at work.

Kamu tells Drew he thinks the nominees might end up being Barrett, Mallory, and Angela. Kamu told Haley he's willing to start fresh with her. Drew agrees completely. Kamu tells Drew he will share more once they have real privacy. Drew says they're effectively roommates now in the Pod BR. Drew tells Kamu he spent a lot of time alone recently, having tried to distance himself from his usual group the week before. Drew asks Kamu if he seems suspicious for being around others. Kamu says no.

Yash tells Kamu his plan is to nominate Haley, Angela, and Dee. He plans to tell Haley that Angela and Dee lied, framing her as caught in the middle since she's friendly with both. Kamu advises Yash to ask open-ended questions as HoH and just let people talk, since they tend to volunteer plenty of information that way. Mallory could realistically win a future HoH, so they need to stay on good terms with her. Yash has already reassured her. He's only sharing his plans with Kamu and Taylor for now, but is thinking about looping in Devens.

Barrett, Mallory, Kamu, Yash, and Drew sit on the Hot Tub Lounge couch. Kamu jokes he would trade an HoH bed for a spot on the Hot Tub bed just to have his private conversations there. Yash gets called to the DR, joking it will be his pleasure. Drew and Kamu set up the Have Not room to sleep in for privacy, even though there are no official Have Nots this week.

2:00 AM BBT: Yash gets his HoH room reveal, with the house looking at his photos. Yash's HoH letter touches on his mother's writing, expressing how much they miss and are proud of him, recapping a family trip, mentioning his father spending long days in the pool, meeting other couples their age, visiting his brother's future in-laws, hiking, updates on his grandmother's health, one brother living in New York, another recently engaged, and closing with warm wishes and reassurance that her children are her proudest accomplishment. She thinks of him when she gets up and before bed.

Angela thanks Yash for sharing the letter. Dee jokes he sounds like the favorite son. Yash jokes maybe he is, putting on a pair of sunglasses and a hat from his basket.

2:15 AM BBT: Yash finds Old Spice and assorted snacks in his HoH basket. Taylor jokes there must be a 24-hour Walmart nearby. Yash tells everyone he loves them. He wants them to know that before the nominations game begins, and he is fine talking either tonight or in the morning.

Dee will talk in the morning and leaves. Angela's proud of Yash, hugs him, and he tells her they will talk in the morning. Taylor and Yash celebrate his win together in the HoH room. Taylor says his mom really delivered a lot of news in her letter. Yash notes everyone went to bed instead of staying.

Yash tells Taylor he's considering Haley, Dee, and Angela as nominees. Taylor says that's interesting. Angela and Dee both lied about the Lyric vote, he explains, and Dee nominated him back in week one. Taylor laughs. Yash says once they're nominated, that's simply how it is. Taylor tells him it's his HoH to run.

Haley has been openly hostile to Taylor, yet now wants an alliance with her and Yash. She doesn't fully trust Haley, but wonders if anyone will actually evict her. Yash says if you throw someone in the fire enough times, they'll eventually burn. Taylor says Dee is kind of slow, but she won't say dumb. Yash agrees. He doesn't want to put up a pawn and backdoor Haley. Yash floats Melody as another option. Taylor thinks Melody brings him the votes he needs. Taylor asks about Drew. Yash says no. He would rather see Haley or Angela go. Dee is harmless dead weight they can deal with later. Taylor agrees.

2:30 AM BBT: Melody comes up the HoH room and gives Yash a hug. Yash hasn't decided on nominations yet, he says, and wants her input. Melody loves him, Barrett, Drew, Kamu, and Mallory. Even though Yash voted against her, she would have talked to him about it had she won HoH, and that he isn't a target for her.

Melody thought the plan was still to take out Haley. Yash asks who told her that. Melody overheard Devens, who said LaLa had bullied Haley and he wanted to keep her. Melody respects LaLa for taking the risk she did. Yash says LaLa clearly let her HoH get to her head, calling HoHitis very real. Melody's still aligned with LaLa and says Haley still isn't being kind to others. Bad things tend to happen to bad people, Yash says. Melody says LaLa needs to calm down. Yash doesn't think Dee and Devens particularly care for LaLa.

2:50 AM BBT: Melody watched Angela's original season and wasn't a fan of her then either. She sees the same patterns repeating this season. Angela called Haley every name imaginable and the Icons stick together no matter what. They have not faced the block yet. They have not faced real pressure in the game. Yash says a little pressure in the Gym was apparently enough to reveal who Angela really is.

Melody says the others are falling for what she sees as a manufactured victim narrative from Angela. Yash agrees it's obvious. You can usually spot the bad apples. Melody agrees. Yash says the group (It was Drew. -- Fuskie) approached him just thirty minutes before the Lyric vote, despite having three full days to do so, and he never heard a word from them beforehand. He prefers to stick to an original plan once it's made (If you can't be flexible in the Big Brother house, you won't last long. Rigid game strategies rarely survive. -- Fuskie). Yash still doesn't know who started the whole thing.

Kamu tells Drew he's aware Haley was actually in on the vote flip. When Drew was on the block, another name was reportedly being considered as the real target. Drew asks who. Kamu guesses it was Dee, insisting he isn't making it up. Drew promises he will never repeat it. Yash already has a general direction for his plan, explaining that if he nominates Haley next to Angela, Haley would dominate her in the Veto.

Melody reminds Yash he is also competing in the Veto. If Angela ends up going, Yash is fine with that outcome. She's an easy target. Melody says Angela approached her about thirty minutes before the live show and asked her to vote to keep Haley. Melody refused, telling her she wouldn't change her vote. Melody says everyone seems to be buying into what she considers Angela's victim narrative. Yash agrees.

3:00 AM BBT: Yash wonders if the HoH takeover twist should have happened by now. He asks Melody not to share his plans with anyone, since he doesn't want to trigger an actual takeover. Melody promises silence, promising she is fully with him. Yash says Devens and Dee play the game well, unlike Angela in his view. Yash wonders where Barrett really stands, since he spends so much time with the Icons. Melody says Barrett isn't actually aligned with the Icons. He's with them (meaning Yash), questioning why the Icons would even want him.

Yash says they need to remove one of the Icons. Melody agrees. They (Dee, Devens, Angela and who else? -- Fuskie) are strong competitors and at least one needs to go. Yash points out three of them have appeared on other shows before. Melody jokes Angela's been on fifty. Yash says it's like a puzzle that he still needs to figure out how to solve. Melody wraps up her conversation with Yash, who gets called to the SR to swap his mic.

3:15 AM BBT: Drew comes up to the HoH room, calling it exciting. Yash gathers his things to move into the room. Drew waits for Yash in the HoH room and uses the WC. When Yash returns, he asks Drew to lock the door so he can put on his HoH robe and surprise Kamu. Drew tells Yash that a win for him feels like a win for Drew. Yash reassures him he's safe, saying every move made thoughtfully is the right one. Drew knows people will eventually push to target the Icons. Yash says they will keep Devens safe for now.

Yash surprises Kamu outside, wearing only the HoH robe, having taken his pants off beforehand (Say what? -- Fuskie).

Yash, Drew, and Kamu talk in the HoH room. Kamu tells Yaysh he loves Barrett, but he wasn't sure what Barrett would have done had he won HoH, since Barrett stays close to nearly everyone. Drew jokes that he and the four other remaining guys are the "bad boys" of the house. Yash doesn't want to see any of the guys go home.

3:30 AM BBT: Kamu says LaLa and Haley's conflict is real. Drew says Angela is a child of divorce and doesn't know which parental figure to align with, comparing it to her current situation. Kamu says Haley and Angela seem okay now, adding his conversation with Haley went well. He told her everything about Chuk. Yash asks where Angela currently stands. Drew doesn't know. She's been crying again, and he doesn't fully understand what's happening between her, LaLa, and Haley.

Yash asks Drew who would nominate him. Drew doesn't think Haley would. Kamu agrees. Yash says the house generally doesn't like her. Yash owes LaLa loyalty and won't nominate her. He also feels good with Taylor, and that the men in the house are going nowhere. Drew won't hold it against Yash if he ends up nominating someone close to him. He promises to back whatever decision he makes. Kamu says Angela told Haley that he (Kamu) didn't want to flip the vote to save her. Dee had also been saying things about him to Haley. Kamu says Haley doesn't trust Dee, but oddly does trust Angela.

Kamu says Angela claimed she wouldn't nominate another woman, leaving the question of who actually would go up. Kamu observes Angela seems to like Barrett. Kamu says Angela was up in the HoH room with Haley having a falling out, then up there with LaLa having another falling out, and has now circled back to Haley again. Yash asks if Angela is the actual liar and Dee isn't. Kamu doesn't think that's quite right; Dee tends to just agree with whoever she's talking to, always saying "of course" to everything. Kamu says Dee generally goes along with whoever currently holds power in the house. Yash calls that a bad trait. Kamu tells Yash to watch for it himself when he has his one-on-one with her.

4:00 AM BBT: Kamu tells Yash he was thrilled that Yash floated Dee and Angela as noms. He would have nominated both himself if he had won. Yash asks about a third. Kamu tells him to talk to Haley and gauge where her head's at. Yash asks if Melody is still holding onto her vote. Drew says Melody's worried about the Icons. Kamu likes Melody, and mentions they're planning a sleepover.

Yash asks if Angela and Dee both go up, who would be upset. Drew guesses Devens. Yash isn't sure, noting that in the HoH comp, Dee picked Devens to compete against, then Dee beat Taylor. Yash says Melody picked him, but it backfired. Kamu doesn't want Dee reaching the final two, given she's already won Survivor once and could realistically win Big Brother too. Yash doesn't personally care if Dee or Angela goes home.

4:15 AM BBT: Drew lists Mallory, Melody, and Haley as third-nominee options. Yash rules out Mallory. Kamu asks who the target will be. Yash says Angela, since she would nominate him if given the chance. Kamu says Dee would put him up too. Dee would be his choice, given her influence in the game. Angela doesn't hold much sway by comparison.

Yash asks if Barrett is a realistic option. Kamu calls him a fourth-choice pick. Yash says Barrett is stuck either aligning himself somewhere concrete or becoming a repeat pawn. Kamu says Barrett is already locked in with the women and Devens. Drew says Mallory is also locked in with Barrett. He doesn't share Mallory's loyalty, though. Kamu says Haley currently functions as a shield for their group. Yash asks if Barrett is really an option. Kamu again calls him a fourth pick.

4:30 AM BBT: Yash says there are five men left in the house against seven women, meaning a woman needs to go. Kamu says the more important question is who's actually aligned with whom, citing Barrett's closeness with the women and Haley's closeness with the men. Drew asks Yash to let him know before he nominates Melody or Barrett. Yash considers telling Haley that Dee is the real target.

4:45 AM BBT: Yash tells Drew and Kamu that his win was really a win for all of them. Drew will help with damage control. Kamu offers to help however he can. After they leave Yash in his HoH room, Drew tells Kamu he loves Yash. Without the Tool Shed, they're just Handymen now. Kamu says if Barrett were gone, he would trust Devens more, since Devens would ultimately choose Barrett over the rest of them. Drew says that's fair.

Drew and Kamu, now in the Have Not room, get ready for bed. Kamu loves Devens, but still needs to talk to Haley about the vote flip. He hopes Devens hasn't already said much. Drew worries that if Kamu ever ends up on the block, he could actually go home. Fortunately, Kamu is safe this week. Lights go out in the Have Not room. Drew and Kamu settle onto the non-rotating platform bed.

5:00 AM BBT: Yash listens to music in the HoH WA while brushing his teeth. He heads downstairs to refill his water bottle before returning to the HoH room. He looks over his HoH photos and treats, and is excited to find his favorite brand of soap. He checks out the HoH mini-fridge and thanks Production for the treats. "You're welcome," replies Big Brother.

5:30 AM BBT: Yash reads his HoH letter and thanks his mom. He turns off the HoH lights and settles into bed, murmuring to himself that he knew it would eventually come.

---

8:30 AM BBT: Feeds wake up to Barrett and guests in the Outer BR and to LaLa, Angela, and Haley in the WA, deep in a conversation about bullying.

8:45 AM BBT: Haley says multiple people in the house have already apologized to her on LaLa's behalf over the bullying. LaLa's willing to talk to everyone, but insists she never bullied Haley. LaLa and Haley go back and forth over who was bullying whom.

9:00 AM BBT: LaLa grows upset that Haley is creating what she sees as an entirely new version of events. Angela cries in the WA while talking to Dee, who tells her she needs to step back and stop trying to babysit the situation (between Haley and LaLa). It's good that LaLa and Haley are fighting it out.

9:15 AM BBT: Dee asks Angela how the fight started. Angela explains LaLa went to apologize and Haley flat out rejected it. Dee says Angela should stay away from both of them until nominations, and probably until any renom too. Dee wonders why people are fighting this early in the morning, though she kind of loves it.

9:30 AM BBT: Barrett and guests sit quietly around the DT while LaLa talks to herself in the WA.

9:45 AM BBT: After Haley gets called to the upstairs DR, the usual morning chatter around the DT picks up. In the Hot Tub Lounge, LaLa explains her version of the earlier Haley conversation to Yash. A tearful LaLa takes her apology tour to the Pod BR, talking first to Mallory, who tells her to just give it time.

10:00 AM BBT: Mallory offers LaLa a few kind words before leaving. LaLa's conversation continues with Taylor, who mostly just listens. Yash and Dee talk in the HoH room.

10:15 AM BBT: Taylor tells LaLa that she's safe this week, but will need to win the next HoH. LaLa says Taylor needs to win the one after that, to guarantee they reach jury. The Icons need to go, she says. Taylor agrees, including Angela.

10:30 AM BBT: LaLa takes her apology tour to Drew, who's showering in the WA.

Devens describes to Yash what he saw earlier in the morning of the Haley, Angela, and LaLa blowup. Yash tells Devens he isn't nominating LaLa or Mallory. Devens notes Yash still has ongoing dynamics with Dee and Taylor to manage.

10:45 AM BBT: Yash tells Devens his plan is Haley, Angela, and Dee, laying out his reasoning: Dee nominated him week one, making her an easy pawn, Angela doesn't fully trust him, and Haley remains the house's real target. He asks if the other two could beat Haley in the Veto or Blockbuster competitions. Devens isn't sure. He worries that the longer Dee survives, she becomes a bigger threat. With two of three Icons already vulnerable, it's essentially open season.

Yash says the house wants the Icons gone, but Devens isn't usually included in that discussion. He considers whether nominating Dee, Angela, and Haley together would be an easy story to tell with minimal blowback. Devens brings up their Wolf Pack alliance, and asks if Melody is an option. Melody can't win anything, Yash replies, and that targeting her would only create unnecessary conflict.

Devens believes Drew is riding with them, but questions whether his loyalty is to the four of them specifically, or something broader. He was visibly emotional when Melody was at risk of leaving. He thinks Dee would be in trouble if she isn't aligned with Haley. Yash doesn't think that's the case, adding Drew and Kamu are solid with them. Yash tells Devens he would appreciate his vote to evict Angela if it comes to that. Devens will go along with wherever the house lands.

Devens says Dee won't be happy as a pawn. Yash will tell her himself, adding Dee had floated nominating Haley and Drew. Devens finds it interesting that she mentioned Drew. Yash wants to keep the men in the house safe. Devens agrees. Out of the women, he says, he's closest with Mallory, Taylor, and Dee, and would have nominated Haley, LaLa, and Melody given the chance.

Devens tells Yash he is backed by the Primaries, the Wolf Pack, and the Bermuda Triangle, all at once. Devens says if Yash nominates Melody or Dee, he will be making a real enemy. His Survivor history with Dee already burned that bridge. Yash says Kamu told him Dee doesn't trust him. Devens tells him this is his chance to either repair that or fully commit to the rupture.

11:00 AM BBT: Yash asks Devens who picked him in the HoH comp. Melody, he replies, though in fairness, he would have picked her first. Devens doesn't have much more to offer beyond his support either way. Yash says it's getting complicated. Yash asks Devens if Dee's said anything about him. Not since the Wolf Pack formed. She seemed to feel good about the alliance, and he trusts Kamu not to fabricate things. Devens reminds him that Dee celebrated Yash's win. Yash feels good with Devens, Drew, Barrett, and Kamu, confirming Angela is going up. Yash worries Melody could flip Drew, Barrett, and Mallory against him. Devens says that won't happen. Devens leaves.

Mallory comes into the HoH room, calling the whole situation awesome. Yash tells her to relax, his target lies elsewhere. He's just figuring out the best approach. Mallory would nominate Kamu if she wanted Haley gone, calling him the strongest competitor in the house. Yash asks if he would face backlash for not nominating Haley. Mallory doesn't think so, guessing it's just an easy nomination, though LaLa might be upset. Yash owes LaLa enough not to nominate her, but won't fully follow her plan either. Yash asks about the Dee, Angela, and Haley dynamic. Mallory says LaLa tried apologizing to Haley and got rejected. Yash asks about Angela. Mallory says that relationship is more advice-based than strategic. Yash predicts Haley would beat Angela in competitions every time.

Yash asks if Kamu going home would bother her. She doesn't fully trust Kamu. Yash thinks he's useful for the time being. He thinks Haley could beat any of the Icons in a Blockbuster-style comp except maybe in a pure puzzle format. Mallory suggests Devens might also be a strong Blockbuster competitor. Yash doesn't want to see Kamu go. He showed loyalty in not using the Veto.

Mallory doesn't think Barrett would be upset if Dee or Angela were nominated. Yash asks who originally pushed to "save Haley" before. Mallory says it was Devens. Nobody pressured her, though. They were just trying to gauge her vote. Yash asks about Dee, Angela, and Barrett's dynamics. Mallory says Barrett and Dee are close personally, but don't talk much strategy, and that Barrett claims not to fully understand Dee's game. Yash asks if Mallory believes that. She does. Mallory thinks the last-minute effort to flip the vote to keep Haley was a reaction to LaLa's treatment of her. Yash agrees that LaLa messed that up. It's the same old sh*t with the Icons each week, he complains.

Haley asks Devens how his talk with Yash went. Devens defers, saying Yash didn't reveal any specifics, but he feels he'll be OK.

In the WA, Dee advises Angela to play up being protective of LaLa when she talks with Yash.

Yash asks who Haley would target if she survived the block this week. Mallory says LaLa for sure. Not Kamu? She's close with Kamu, Mallory says.

11:15 AM BBT: Dee tells Devens in the KT that she's picking up strange vibes. Devens agrees. Dee knows Angela is going up. That is Devens' understanding too. Maybe it's time to try a bribe.

Devens tells Barrett about his conversation with Yash so Barrett can head in on the same page.

In the Have Not room, Kamu tells Angela he feels for her being caught in the middle. She keeps asking both sides to just be civil rather than force her to choose, but neither understands her closeness with the other. He sympathizes with Haley too, since she's been dealing with this for six weeks. Changing subjects, Kamu heard from Haley that Angela's heard things about him, without knowing the source. Angela has, but won't name names. She heard he brought her into the Gym knowing there would be an alteration because it would make for good TV. That's what he wanted to clear the air with her about.

Between Dee and Angela, Yash wants Angela gone. She's too messy. Angela can't win competitions anyway. Yash is firm in not nominating Devens, saying he likes him and wasn't nominated by him. Mallory pivots that she wouldn't either. She agrees that Haley, Dee, and Angela are good, but thinks Haley would stay. Yash tells Mallory this is a good problem to have. Mallory jokes it's like having too much money. Yash tells her to enjoy the week.

11:30 AM BBT: Mallory finds Dee and Devens in the SR and asks if they're conspiring. Devens jokes yes, against her. Mallory leaves them to conspire. Dee tells Devens that Yash is leaning toward nominating her, and that she was pushing for Melody instead, though Devens thinks even if Dee isn't an original nominee, she could still end up a replacement. Dee notes that Kamu and Drew were up with Yash all night long. Devens looks through the fridge, wondering how much Big Brother is spending on cheese. They intentionally took each other out in the HoH comp, clearing the path for Yash to win. Why did we do that, Devens asks.

Yash tells Barrett he doesn't want to nominate men or Mallory, wondering who he could put up against Haley. Barrett suggests a backup option. Yash names Angela, calling her messy and distrustful of him. Where does Barrett stand with her? Their talks mostly revolve around her original season and his fandom. They don't discuss nominations, leaving him unsure where she stands. Yash asks if Dee lies to Angela and Haley. Barrett hasn't caught her doing so.

Dee decides to try a bigger ask with her bribe, wanting control over all of Yash's nominations rather than just her safety, suggesting Drew as a target. Devens thinks that's a bad idea, since Yash reacted poorly to Drew's name coming up before. Dee tables Drew for now, noting he's been the one bringing Yash's name up recently (Asking for the moon in general may be a bad approach with Yash. -- Fuskie).

Kamu interrupts Devens and Dee in the SR, and their tone immediately shifts. He asks if Devens has talked to Yash yet. Devens says yes, and that he currently has a line of communication open. Kamu reassures them they weren't talking strategy late last night (And I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. -- Fuskie). Devens says his conversation with Yash was similarly surface-level, mostly just reassurance.

Barrett tells Yash that if Dee lies, she's clearly good at it. Yash's heard she's lied about both Angela and Kamu, though he doesn't want to get into specifics. Part of him wants Haley, Angela, and Dee all nominated together. Barrett would support that plan.

Kamu and Devens agree Yash's win is good for them. Devens agrees. Kamu is looking forward to a relaxed day, with nominations not until early evening. Kamu recaps the latest Haley-LaLa blowup, and his follow-up conversation with LaLa afterward. Devens walked into the heated WA argument and didn't understand why Angela was there.

Yash says Devens claimed no real insight into Dee's relationships with Haley or Angela. He doesn't want to nominate any men, leaving him with limited options. Would there be backlash for not nominating Haley? Barrett says people would question why.

Melody comes into HoH, asking who still needs to talk to Yash. Yash asks Barrett if nominating Haley is even worth it, given she could win and come back. Barrett asks who else would be left, guessing Melody. Yash confirms. Barrett calls that a worst-case scenario that makes him nervous. Yash agrees. Melody leaves.

Yash plans to tell Barrett his play is to say Dee is a pawn and Haley is the real target. Barrett says the house was united behind evicting Haley until about an hour before the Live Show. Was it Dee, Yash asks? He doesn't think it was Mallory, Melody, or Kamu.

Yash says Drew was taking it easy the previous week. Barrett notes Drew mostly stayed in the Have Not room. Yash is surprised Devens was involved in the last-ditch move to save Haley, thinking it was just Dee. Devens once told Barrett to do what he wants if he ever wins HoH. Nobody was truly willing to fight hard for either Haley or Chuk, Yash says, but Dee was especially inconsistent. Barrett says Drew picked a side, but is comfortable playing both.

11:45 AM BBT: In the SR, Kamu describes LaLa's hand fan to Jason's teapot; she pops it when she's upset. Angela and Drew enter, and Angela asks to speak with Kamu. The two leave and Drew, Devens, and Dee exchange knowing looks.

Barrett tells Yash he knows Drew rides with Devens, Yash, and himself, thanking Yash for keeping them safe. Yash still has to think through the overall strategy. He's going to talk to Haley. Barrett laughs that Haley believes LaLa is a likely nominee. She doesn't seem to have much of a strategic read on the situation.

In the SR, Drew quietly discusses nominations with Dee and Devens, with both feeling confident they aren't targets. Drew would be surprised if Melody were nominated, but wouldn't push back if it happened. Devens leaves, and Dee calls the whole situation crazy. The house is protecting Kamu. They will figure it out as long as they keep winning. Drew is most worried about Angela being nominated. Dee agrees, sensing Angela feels the same way. They'll have to work to save her, Drew says.

Barrett tells Yash that nominating Dee is easy, because she put him up. Haley will be harder, because she's gotten a lot of sympathy lately. Yash doesn't want to be seen as piling on. Barrett suggests framing it as Angela and Haley both being difficult the previous week. Yash agrees. Barrett assures Yash he will be fine with the nominations, apologizing for having to have these conversations, saying it will get easier after today. Yash calls Barrett his dog, appreciating the support.

Kamu and Angela talk in the SR. Kamu explains that Chuk had been talking about him the week before, fabricating things, and that he was frustrated Chuk never defended him against Jason.

11:51 AM BBT: Haley comes into HoH, but Yash needs to use the WC first. She looks through his photos while she waits. After his business is completed, he gives Haley a hug. She gives her version of the morning fight, saying she made clear she wasn't okay with the bullying. Yash hopes Chuk is watching the live stream. Haley didn't expect him to go home.

Yash asks how things stand with Angela now. Haley says they will be civil, but Angela watched her get mistreated for weeks without stepping in, and that was hurtful. She wouldn't let a real friend go through that. Haley appreciates Yash, Drew, and Kamu for having her back. Angela did nothing to stand up for her this morning. Yash is surprised. Haley knows she's an easy target, and that while she trusts Yash, Kamu, and Drew, it's with some reservation. Yash tells her ten different people are currently calling for her nomination.

Devens and Dee talk in the Gym. Discussing the BB Bribe, Devens tells Dee he doesn't want to damage his relationship with Yash. Devens suggests advising Yash to backdoor Haley instead, floating Devens, Melody, and Angela as the initial noms. Devens would rather use his Diamond Power of Veto on himself than on Dee, since it wouldn't damage his relationship with Yash the same way, though it would reveal how close he and Dee are. Dee worries about the risk to Devens.

Haley says keeping her off the block would gain him a strong alliance in return, but she understands his position (Not sure where Haley thinks she has a strong alliance. -- Fuskie). Yash recaps the shifting closeness between Angela and each of the HoHs so far.

12:00 PM BBT: Dee returns to the idea of bribing Yash for total control over Yash's nominations. Devens cautions against going for something that large, suggesting instead she just ask not to be nominated or renominated, calling that an easier sell. Dee agrees. She explains that if Yash accepts her bribe, it becomes binding, meaning he can't take the offer and then nominate or renominate her anyway.

12:02 PM BBT: Yash tells Haley that the two women who lied to her aren't worth her trust. Haley agrees, and promises she can help protect his game. Yash tells her to talk to Kamu. Haley has no relationship with Dee, since Dee lied and never apologized or spoke to her again, meaning there's simply no trust there. Yash says Dee and Angela's lying upsets him. Their behavior around the vote flip was just wrong. He's talked with Kamu, and they're solid. Drew is good with him now too. Yash tells Haley she's going up alongside Dee and Angela. Haley asks why not LaLa? Yash owes her enough not to nominate her, but he's not following her plan either.

Dee tells Devens she wishes he and Yash weren't so close, since she would love to use the threat of his Veto against his allies. Devens tried warning Yash about the powers in the game, suggesting Haley might have one. Yash doesn't seem worried about it (Yeah, I don't think I'd believe that one either. -- Fuskie).

Devens thinks if he volunteers as a pawn, Yash would likely be grateful. Dee thinks that's a bad idea, since others are actively trying to get him out. He wouldn't face a vote, Devens reminds her, because he would use his Diamond Power of Veto on himself. This is a better option than burning his relationship with Yash or exposing Dee. It would also be more fun. It might be smarter to save the bribe for later. Dee insists it will work now. Devens agrees that $5,000 to nominate Melody instead of Dee is an easy decision.

Devens and Dee agree to try the bribe first, saving the option of volunteering Devens as a pawn if it fails (That wouldn't suggest they're working together at all. -- Fuskie). Devens plans to frame using the Veto on himself as protecting the Wolf Pack. Dee says that framing doesn't sit right with her. Devens tells Dee he could choose not to use the Veto at all, and she would still be fine with the vote. They agree to wait until Yash has spoken with everyone before approaching him with the bribe.

Devens expects Kamu to confirm privately that he already knows Yash is targeting Dee. Devens reassures Dee she isn't the target. Dee imagines a scenario where Drew throws out their names to protect Melody, noting Drew and Melody were up with Kamu late the night before. Dee has always felt uneasy about Drew. She should have trusted her instincts. Devens tells Dee that the house underestimates her as a competitor. Dee says that's a good thing.

Haley asks if winning the Veto means she's expected to keep the nominations the same. Yash says no. If she uses it, he will nominate Barrett, who would stay. If she stays on the block, she's likely to go home. She's fine with the game itself, just not how she's been treated. Yash says it's time for one more difficult conversation, with LaLa next.

Angela asks Yash if he needs a break. Yash has heard there's been a lot of emotion today. Angela's been dealing with it for six weeks. LaLa has her heart, then she begins to cry. Not many women in their fifties carry themselves the way LaLa does.

Devens tells Dee that Angela is frustrating him. Dee says it's useful having her around, since she will always draw attention as a target. It is good the house doesn't see Dee as dangerous, since he knows better. Dee isn't winning anything anyway. Dee leaves Devens in the Gym after he reminds her to keep him updated, saying if their current plan doesn't work, he will focus on his. It's obvious to others that they're close, prompting her to leave first. He reviews their plan, starting with the bribe attempt. He's still not sure about it, but agrees to proceed anyway.

Alone, Devens tells himself he can't afford to play scared. Talking to live feeders, Devens loves his new haircut and likes Yash, adding that while Yash and Kamu are good for his game, his real number one remains Dee, calling her invaluable.

12:15 PM BBT: Angela meets with Yash in HoH. She knows she hasn't been nominated yet, but was happy when he won and hopes his promise never to nominate her holds true. She would never nominate him either. Yash tells her that her record plus the Chuk situation still makes her a consideration.

Looking into his eyes, Angela tells Yash she will never speak badly about him or nominate him. Yash dislikes chaos, and there's been a lot of it lately. Angela insists she isn't part of it and isn't trying to create conflict. She says the issue with Haley came down to a lie, insisting they have real trust built from talking things through. She again promises she will never nominate him, will always be there for him, will never lie to him, and will act as his eyes and ears in the house.

Angela felt disposable at the end of her first season, and would love to reach the end of this one, remembering their week-one conversation as something genuine. Who else can promise never to nominate him or speak his name in a bad light (Pretty much everyone can make promises. -- Fuskie)? Yash tells Angela she's a beast. He gives a sobbing Angela a hug. Yash tells her he loves her; she's good people and he means it. No more tears, he tells her.

After she leaves, LaLa comes into the HoH. Yash lets her know she's completely safe from nomination, and asks how she's doing. She starts to say her feelings were hurt, then FotH.

Dee asks Drew what Yash is planning. Drew says Yash floated combinations involving Angela, Melody, Haley, and Barrett as a possible third nominee, then gets called to the DR.

12:30 PM BBT: Angela, in bed, tells Haley she isn't getting enough sleep in the house. Haley compliments Melody's hair as she walks by. LaLa's meeting with Yash was quick and she's gone down to the KT.

In the HoH, Yash tells Kamu that Devens is questioning Dee's nomination, trying to steer him away from targeting her. He warned Yash that given their shared Survivor history, it would burn that bridge permanently. Kamu says that logic applies to all three Icons. Kamu asks if the returning Survivors share some kind of bond. Yash thinks they do; Dee wanted Haley one day, then the next wants her gone.

Yash tells Kamu he can talk freely to both Devens and Haley. Kamu warns Yash that Devens is closer with Dee than anyone realizes. Yash knows Devens is supporting them because they're strong too. Yash says Mallory was easy to read; she would nominate Haley and the Icons, and Dee and Angela lied to Barrett. Kamu says Barrett lied to Mallory about being in the room that night with Rome, claiming he wasn't there, but has otherwise been honest.

Yash says he told Devens and Barrett that no guys are going up. Kamu says the guys are all tight. He's in a good place with Drew. Yash says Drew told him that Kamu has been honest with him throughout. Kamu appreciates that. Yash guesses Barrett must be talking strategy with someone. He and Dee are constantly cuddling, Kamu observes. Yash assumes that must come with real conversation too.

12:45 PM BBT: Yash tells Kamu that Haley stayed calm during their talk, even though he was pushing her for information. Haley claims no real issue with Dee, but real problems with Angela, and that she trusts both him and Kamu. Kamu says they effectively have a final four deal with Taylor, Devens, and Drew, and could lock in Haley too. Yash says this feels more like a Final Two between himself and Kamu. Kamu calls it an alliance for life.

Yash says Angela came to him in tears. He asks Kamu what she's saying about Haley and LaLa. Kamu doesn't want to be caught in the middle. Yash says Angela told him her heart is fully with LaLa, guessing she said that because she knows he's close with LaLa himself. Angela went on about how LaLa isn't a bully. She thinks Yash is against Haley and aligned with LaLa. Kamu says it was Dee, not Haley, who brought up the Bible downstairs earlier. Kamu says Angela asked if he would mention the Bible in front of Haley. Kamu told her no, and that he never brought up Dee either.

Devens comes in, joking he expected a bigger party. He asks for workout advice, since they all could be stuck together a while. Yash says that would be. Devens needs to pace himself.

1:00 PM BBT: Yash tells Kamu and Devens that Angela lived through both Haley's and LaLa's HoH reigns unscathed. Yash says Haley is well aware of Angela's behavior patterns by now. Yash recaps his conversations, noting he's fine either way if Haley stays or leaves, and recounts Angela's tearful insistence that her heart is with LaLa and that LaLa isn't a bully. Devens notes Angela seems aligned with Haley.

Devens, Yash, and Kamu sit in the HoH room. Yash recounts Angela telling him how few people could look him in the eye and promise never to nominate him, insisting she fully trusts him. Yash wonders where that same energy was during the first five weeks, admitting he could use her declared loyalty as leverage going forward.

Kamu says nominating Dee could end the Wolf Pack. Several red flags are going off regarding Dee and Angela's lying, and he wonders if Dee lied to Haley again just this week. Devens says it would be a bad sign if Dee's real number one is Angela (As opposed to who, Devens? -- Fuskie). Yash says Dee downplayed her closeness with Angela, but he didn't believe her. Drew enters the HoH room.

1:30 PM BBT: Yash shows off his HoH basket items. He loves the room and had a dance party after everyone left the night before, calling it a real vibe (Dancing by yourself is a real vibe? -- Fuskie). Devens asks what the best song would be for feeling like a gangster. Yash says maximum volume. Devens jokes he's an old man who needs to protect his hearing.

LaLa cooks while Angela offers her a grape. LaLa declines. Angela enjoys hers. Angela asks LaLa for cheese. LaLa tells her the knives from the night before were never turned in (Maybe keep the knives away from Angela. -- Fuskie). LaLa doesn't think America likes her, worried she didn't get America's Vote for the BB Time Capsule. Angela reassures her that isn't true. LaLa asks how Dee's doing. Angela says the same as her. LaLa calls that interesting.

Devens steps away to check back in later. Kamu leaves too. Drew stays with Yash, who accidentally drops his beef jerky on the rug and jokes he will warn people not to eat it (There's always the trash can. -- Fuskie). Drew again offers to help with any damage control needed. Yash probably wants Angela gone, though that could change. Drew would prefer just one clear target, guessing Kamu feels similarly. He mentions Dee named both him and Haley as targets, joking he and Haley are close, crossing his fingers to illustrate it.

Drew asks who Barrett said he wanted nominated. Yash says just Haley. Drew says they need to stick together as the men of the house. Barrett wasn't a fan of the earlier tea party incident, but seems fine with Kamu now. Drew calls Kamu the most honest person in the house.

1:45 PM BBT: Kamu talks to Devens in the corner of the Have Not room. Yash is planning to nominate Dee, Kamu warns. Devens needs to avoid Dee until nominations so he doesn't have to lie to her directly. Kamu leaves to talk to Haley and Devens mouths "F*ck.".

Haley tells Taylor that the house sees this as an easy decision. Kamu tells Haley he assured Yash she trusts him, and that it's him, her, and Drew together. Haley doesn't understand why everyone wanted her to stay only for things to change.

2:15 PM BBT: Haley and Drew talk in the Have Not room. Haley says Angela wants to air out secrets. What secrets could there be (Oh so many! -- Fuskie)? She needs to look good for the nomination ceremony. Drew suggests a dress. Haley will just wear what she has, and leaves.

Melody appears in her punishment costume, dressed as the "Lord of the Latrine."

Melody says the Icons, Kamu, and Haley have to be working together somehow. Melody is aligned with LaLa. Devens needs to see through what she considers Haley's victimhood act, predicting Haley will ultimately side with the Icons. Mallory is frustrated that Dee and Devens both have powers. Melody agrees, though credits Devens for being funny and having pulled off an unpredictable HoH. She contrasts that with Dee playing it safe. Mallory says LaLa took things too far with Haley, and hopes Barrett or Drew lands the next power. Melody says it's rough that neither of them ended up with any power to use themselves (You both had the opportunity, which is more than most of the house has had. -- Fuskie).

Drew tells Melody it's rough that she landed the punishment. She announces Kamu is entering the WC. Kamu tells her she will need to use the WC eventually. Drew offers to be her "squire." Melody reminds them nobody's allowed to help her, per the rules, though she can ask for assistance once or twice if truly needed. Drew tells Melody the punishment only lasts twenty-four hours, joking he can't wait to see what LaLa looks like at 2 a.m.

Drew tells Melody he's proud of her, asking rhetorically why he spends so much time with her, noting everyone loves both her and Mallory. Melody jokes that America can see they need help. She can now say she was the "Lady of the Latrine" on Big Brother. That's how she will be remembered. Drew suggests they hang out in the Hot Tub Lounge to make her punishment easier to manage.

She wasn't sure it was real until she read the card herself, describing feeling nervous, shaky, and flushed in the moment. Melody blows a horn and tells Kamu to hurry up. Kamu warned her this would be the whole ordeal. Melody doesn't technically have to sleep in her costume, but might anyway in case someone else needs the WC overnight. Devens retrieves regular clothes for her from the DR. She thanks him.

Angela sits under a blanket. Devens tells her to remove herself from the drama. He's worried both Dee and Angela could end up nominated together and is trying to prevent that. Angela asks if he spoke with Yash after she did. Devens has got her back.

Melody says four powers remain in play with three punishments already handed out. Kamu guesses one more punishment is still coming, wondering how long the powers last. Drew guesses through Jury, calling that logical (Six weeks, so there's only one more. -- Fuskie).

Melody announces that Devens is accusing Kamu of watering the toilet seat. Devens shows Kamu the open WC door as evidence. Dee needs to use the WC. Melody tells her Devens is in there. Dee notices the new lock on the door, and Melody explains it's part of her punishment. Dee leaves.

Dee tells Kamu that Yash turned down the bribe attempt. That means Yash is now aware of the power, Kamu states. Dee is sure someone will take the money. Dee tells Devens, with Barrett present, that Yash didn't accept the bribe. Devens reassures her she isn't the target. Barrett was told the same thing the week before and he appreciated it then. Devens offers to do whatever's needed, even volunteering to go on the block himself. Dee tells him not to.

Devens wants Yash to nominate him, Melody, and Angela, and backdoor Haley. Barrett tells him not to put himself in that position, warning the house would vote him out over Dee. Dee mentions seeing lizards around the house. Devens jokes that after Survivor, she sees lizards everywhere. Devens will think through his plan, and asks the others to come up with something better.

3:00 PM BBT: Angela tells Yash she will stand by what she told him, but she's sad. Yash tells her to let her real feelings out (As opposed to her crocodile tears. -- Fuskie). Angela says what upsets her is being laughed at or lied to, since she doesn't play that way. Yash tells her there's a high chance she's going up.

Angela asks Yash if the target will go home. Yash says that part is out of his hands. Angela cries, promising she will follow through on what she said and apologizing that he's in this position. Yash says that means a lot to him. Angela returns downstairs, tells LaLa she's fine, and goes to the Hot Tub Lounge to cry.

Dee sits on the SR counter with Barrett's arms wrapped around her.

Angela asks Taylor for help. Taylor already suggested an alternative to Yash, but his mind was made up. Taylor apologizes for not being able to change the outcome. Angela cries that being nominated brings up painful old memories. Nobody will care that she's up, she says. Taylor disagrees. Angela feels caught between LaLa and Haley. Taylor tells her not to bring that up with her right now. Angela says if it's her time to go, it's her time. Taylor reassures her it isn't.

Haley tells Dee that Angela wore her punishment costume for a full week during her original season, while Melody only has twenty-four hours. Haley mentions the Hamazon punishment (BB20 Faysal). Dee says a week sounds like a long time for Melody's version. Haley clarifies she would already have said twenty-four hours.

3:15 PM BBT: Barrett reaches to comfort Dee, but his hand touches her buttocks. Dee tells Haley she's going up and will win the Veto and stay in the house, telling herself to relax. Haley asks if Yash told her directly, since she hasn't been nominated before. Dee says yes. Taylor's never seen Dee like this. Dee tells her everything tends to work out in the end. Taylor warned Yash not to nominate her because he was being lied to about her. She urged him to think about who he wanted in the jury.

Taylor says the new houseguests feel like this season belongs to them and not the Icons, wanting them nominated. Haley's fine either way, just doesn't want to be blindsided. Haley can hear Angela crying. She didn't realize how close Yash and LaLa were. Taylor jokes it might be because of her closeness with Yash. Haley has confirmed that Chuk was treated the way she suspected. He stayed loyal to her throughout.

Yash tells Devens that Dee offered him a bribe, asking him not to tell anyone.

3:30 PM BBT: Yash tells Barrett he already told Dee she's a pawn. If the Veto gets used, he will nominate Barrett as the replacement, though Barrett would stay. Yash doesn't want Barrett to know that part. Yash says Dee left the conversation angry and refused to hug him. At least she was honest about how she felt.

Kamu leaves the gym as Mallory and Drew work out. Mallory asks if Drew slept in the Have Not room. Yes, he didn't want to deal with Yash's notoriously smelly bed. Mallory agrees it smells terrible. Mallory tells Drew she worries if Kamu wins HoH again. Drew assures her that Kamu loves her. Drew thinks Barrett is in more danger with Kamu.

3:45 PM BBT: Haley tells Taylor about her friendships, mentioning one friend who's twenty-nine and divorced. Haley says something feels wrong if you don't maintain your childhood friendships. Taylor agrees.

Devens tells Barrett things are proceeding according to plan, though he doesn't think Yash will follow through on backdooring Haley.

Dee asks where Angela is. Devens was on the couch. Someone guesses Barrett might be in the DR. Dee was just in there herself. Devens pitched Yash on backdooring Haley, but he doubts he will do it.

4:00 PM BBT: FotH for Nominations

6:00 PM BBT: Dee, Angela, and Drew talk in the Open BR. Angela walks through her BB26 OTEV strategy. Drew has seen Veto players gathering pieces into one central pile. Angela tried that in her first season during a spelling comp, and Joseph hid her pile from her.

LaLa compliments Yash's accent. He studied abroad in Spain for four months. LaLa says Barcelona is one of her favorite countries. Yash agrees it's a great city.

Mallory makes a mug cake in the SR. Devens greets her affectionately before leaving. She still plans her train ride on Sunday. Kamu is glad he already bought his tickets in advance. Melody asks if the nominations are staying the same. Mallory thinks so, guessing that's what Yash wants. Melody's very hungry.

6:15 PM BBT: Haley and Barrett work out quietly in the gym without much conversation. LaLa might work out with Yash later that night. Haley tells Barrett she's about to start her period. He apologizes sympathetically. Angela's birthday falls on Monday, he observes; she isn't doing especially well right now. Haley still can't believe they're on television. Barrett doubts he will ever fully get used to it.

Dee tells the camera she wants to stay calm despite being nominated. She would love to cause chaos, but has to behave since she's on the block. Yash considers them even now, she says, but she will get him back somehow. She sticks her tongue out at the camera.

Dee tells Mallory she's channeling her inner competitive spirit for the Veto. Mallory says people are speculating it will be an OTEV-style format.

6:30 PM BBT: Dee tells the camera that if Angela doesn't win the Veto, she's likely finished, though it would be entertaining to watch Angela win it, only for Devens to use his Diamond Veto on her instead. Before Devens picks a renom, she plans to call people out directly, framing it almost like a game where the loser goes up. She would want Kamu, Taylor, and LaLa targeted as the replacement. Devens and Angela just have incompatible personalities.

Angela tells Dee she's missing sunshine, and notices unexplained lint on her sheets, wondering if it came from someone's feet, and wants to wash them but isn't sure where to do it.

6:45 PM BBT: Dee tells Angela there's still a path where they both stay: if Angela wins the Veto, Dee could be saved as a result. She tells Angela to make peace with Haley, since Haley can't be allowed to win the Veto herself. Angela asks if Devens would act quickly enough to use his Veto. Dee isn't sure. She just doesn't trust Drew.

7:00 PM BBT: Haley asks if Jankie will make an appearance. Angela says that was only in her season. Haley asks if that kind of thing happens every season. Angela says no. Haley hasn't seen that season.

Angela wants a talent or variety show for her birthday on Monday. Haley offers to do a back handspring or twist her arm. Angela suggests doing multiple voices, including a dog bark. Haley asks about Zingbot, and Angela says he usually comes once there are a couple of houseguests left in jury.

Angela tells Dee she plans to pull Mallory aside and appeal to her emotionally.

7:15 PM BBT: Mallory talks about her planned Sunday train excursion and the ticket rules involved.

Haley tells Angela and Dee about Chuk's loud snoring during his have-not stint. Dee feels for his future wife. At least he will have short nails.

Devens describes visiting Dollywood. Melody didn't know that was a real place. Devens says it has major roller coasters. Drew's never heard of it either. Devens's sister holds annual passes there.

7:45 PM BBT: Kamu once saw Conan O'Brien in person and loved the experience. Drew says Jay Leno stole the Tonight Show from O'Brien. Is it Jay Leno or Jay Leto, he quips (That's Jared Leto. -- Fuskie).

7:50 PM BBT: Taylor lies in her pod as Haley recaps the chain of people she believes contributed to the recent chaos: Lyric, Rome, Melody, Drew, and Devens. Taylor didn't realize Devens had been involved. Haley explains she originally nominated Melody in place of Angela at his suggestion, which is why she was upset. With Chuk gone, she can finally play her game. She never viewed their duo as a real threat. Haley says other women see her as mean. Lyric said it to her face. When she smiles, Haley says, people finally see her genuine side. Taylor calls the whole Barrett dynamic a social experiment.

Thursday, August 13, 2026 — Will The Red Corner Be Unbroken?

Previously on the BB Live Feeds

12:00 AM BBT: Drew thanks Barrett for all the food he made during his Have Not stretch. Barrett tells Haley the food is great. She thanks him.

12:15 AM BBT: Dee and Devens try to talk in the WA. He mentions seeing Kamu and Mallory speaking privately. Dee will follow up later. Taylor comes in, and Dee learns she will be sleeping in the top bunk in the Pod BR, the bed traditionally used by HouseGuests close to eviction (Taylor isn't subtle, is she. -- Fuskie).

Dee and Angela talk from their Outer BR beds. Dee hates being told what to do, calling it a pet peeve, and will miss sleeping next to Angela, since she has to move to the pod now, since Barrett has to return to his Outer BR bed because he's too tall to fit in a pod.

12:30 AM BBT: Angela wants to visit Devens' family sometime. Devens says she's welcome anytime.

Dee wants Barrett to sleep in the same bed with Devens tonight so she can keep her own bed instead of moving to the pod. Devens sets a pillow down next to himself, inviting Barrett to join him so Dee doesn't have to relocate. Someone will have to move to the pod room next week, Devens says.

Angela tells her husband, Chuck, through the camera to turn up the TV, saying she loves Haley and doesn't want her going anywhere, hoping she wins the whole game. Production asks her not to hold the microphone that way, and she laughs before saying goodnight to family and friends. Angela gets called to the DR. She just took off her bra! Production apologizes. She asks what for. Drew explains it was about the bra comment. Angela says you can't sleep comfortably in a bra. Drew says they all know that now. Dee asks Drew if he carries a hairbrush everywhere. He says almost everywhere, just not to work. Dee shakes her head. Really?

12:50 AM BBT: Haley tells Chuk that Angela repeatedly apologized earlier. Haley's fine either way and Angela can do what she wants. Chuk is sleeping in the Have Not room with Haley because she is his best friend in the House. Chuk says LaLa has wanted her gone since week one. Haley says Angela hugged her earlier and that she told Angela she felt bullied all week. Angela responded that she doesn't condone that kind of behavior, and told Haley to just win Blockbuster. Chuk says they extended people grace, and now those same people feel guilty about it.

1:00 AM BBT: Melody only owns one hairbrush. Why didn't Taylor bring her own? Drew jokes Taylor might be messing with her, suggesting she could secretly be playing for the audience's amusement. Melody searches for her brush, saying Taylor keeps borrowing it. It's fine, she says, though it clearly is not. Barrett jokes it's fine until she can't find it. Melody says as an only child, she isn't used to sharing, but feels she can't say no in the House, and guesses Taylor left it in the HoH room.

Melody's stepdad resembles Howie Mandel, and strangers stop him in public assuming it's really him. Melody snuggles next to Barrett. He mentions he will turn 28 on September 9th and hopes to still be in the House.

1:45 AM BBT: Feeds return with Melody snuggling with Barrett in the Hot Tub Lounge, and Drew seated on the other side of the couch. Barrett says Taylor, Dee, and Yash could be the Have Nots next week. Melody gets bruises on her legs every week and has been developing unusual veins that are stressing her out. Drew asks if her hands and feet run cold. She confirms. Drew wonders if it could be Raynaud's (A medical condition that affects the blood vessels, most commonly in the fingers and toes, treated through lifestyle changes. -- Fuskie).

Barrett notes how many bruises she has. Melody blames her own clumsiness. He heads to bed. Melody will too. Drew says the same. Barrett shows off a leg vein, explaining he previously had one removed, with blood simply rerouting itself once the vein was closed off, calling the procedure fairly common. Melody hugs Barrett, telling him she will dream about him winning Blockbuster.

2:00 PM BBT: Barrett climbs into bed with Devens. Devens turns to face the other way. Drew starts to give Melody a piggyback ride to bed. She hops off and races ahead instead. Drew warns her not to trust Chuk or Yash. Melody lists who can't win the next HoH: Chuk, Taylor, Kamu, and Yash.

---

9:45 AM BBT: LaLa walks downstairs carrying a box from her HoH room, greeted by the HouseGuests up. HouseGuests gather at the DT for breakfast. The mood is light and casual.

10:00 AM BBT: HouseGuests sit around the DT while Mallory rests her eyes in the Hot Tub Lounge. Barrett joins her. Mallory tells a surprised Barrett that the House will be down to twelve HouseGuests after today's eviction.

10:15 AM BBT: Taylor vacuums, then switches to a broom. She goes to sweep the Have Not room while Haley packs (Haley and Chuk slept alone in the Have Not room despite Have Nots having ended at midnight the night before. -- Fuskie).

10:45 AM BBT: HouseGuests are at the DT as feeds go off and on. They are talking about Haley's perfume, which she says came from a promotional item.

1:00 PM BBT: All the HouseGuests are in the KT except Angela, Taylor, and LaLa, who confer in the HoH room. LaLa tells Angela to do what's best for herself. Angela's fine. LaLa cleans out her HoH room while Taylor tells Angela she understands.

In the WA, Chuk tells Kamu he's going into his competition calm, but treating it like war. He has friends who are remarkably sharp with sports statistics, like his dad. He didn't get that gene, he says, but he thinks Yash does (This sounds like a subtle way to imply Yash is good with House facts - days and comps. -- Fuskie).

Haley tells Dee there's a way for her and Chuk to stay. Everyone seems to fear LaLa right now, and she hasn't spoken to Angela.

1:15 PM BBT: Dee tells Angela to set her emotions aside. She and Devens went to Drew and Barrett and confirmed the votes are there to keep Haley. She thinks Haley will be grateful and loyal. Angela knows. Dee says LaLa isn't a real friend and urges Angela to stop crying. Angela promises she will. Dee doesn't like seeing her like this; she's been crying on and off for three days. Angela apologizes, unsure when she started again. Dee tells her not to apologize. Dee reassures her that Haley won't nominate her. Angela knows.

Dee acknowledges Haley can be difficult sometimes and Angela agrees. Dee tells her to stay close to LaLa for the next few hours and avoid talking to Chuk. Devens comes in and tells Angela to talk to Yash. Angela asks to touch his hair after he cut it.

Dee goes into the SR where Drew and Melody are grabbing snacks. She feels like a raccoon digging through the trash.

1:30 PM BBT: Devens cooks lunch sporting his new haircut. Taylor admires it, saying she can't wait for Becca (his wife) to see it (If she's watching the feeds, she has. -- Fuskie).

LaLa subscribes to a beauty box service. Angela subscribed to a monthly craft box for the family. LaLa calls out Drew for eating cereal straight from the box, telling him to pour it into a bowl instead. He sets the box down and walks off.

Haley, Yash, Drew, and Kamu talk in the WA. Haley says she's been through several rounds of "world war" drama in the House. LaLa needs a fan. Angela tells her she's just hot. She deals with it too. Melody says her mom is perimenopausal. LaLa is sympathetic. Melody says the air conditioning was better up in the HoH room. LaLa tells Kamu she'll miss having attractive men walking through the House once she's home. She tells Devens he and his T-shirt are attractive too, adding he looks good on the pool floatie as well. Devens wonders what Yash will think of his new haircut.

LaLa says Devens' hair feels buttery soft. She is going to wear her HoH robe and red heels for the live show (She told all the HG to wear pajamas. -- Fuskie).

Mallory gives Chuk some Blockbuster advice: if he's stuck choosing between two options, he should decide quickly, since being fast and wrong beats being slow, and to stay calm and make peace with people beforehand. She predicts the competition won't be overly tricky, since production tends to want it to move fast.

2:00 PM BBT: Mallory asks Drew if Taylor would nominate her. He thinks she might put him up as well. He says Dee is worried Mallory might nominate her, but he doesn't think she wants to nominate her or Melody. Mallory was confused by something Drew said earlier. Drew explains he was worried that she thought he was suspicious.

Haley smiles at Drew as he heads into the Have Not room. Drew tells her he thinks she'll be fine, and asks if she's made peace with Angela. Haley tells him about a dream in which LaLa made Angela HoH, and Haley didn't comfort her. Haley tells Drew she's at peace with however things turn out (Doesn't really sound like peace. -- Fuskie). Drew tells her he thinks she's in a good spot. Haley thanks and appreciates him.

Barrett gets called to the DR while packing. Haley continues her packing.

2:10 PM BBT: Haley pulls Angela into the Have Not room and says in case she's evicted, she wanted to give her a birthday present, handing her a Snickers bar with a bow on it. The two hug, and Angela cries (again). Angela hugs Chuk in the hallway and makes plans to get tacos together once they're both out of the House. Haley tells Chuk she believes, based on what she's heard, that they can both survive the vote.

2:15 PM BBT: Barrett heads to the Gym to work out, inviting Drew to join him. Drew whispers to Barrett that keeping Haley is the better outcome, but warns they could end up as the renom option themselves next week. Barrett agrees they could be a renom for anyone at this point. What do they have to lose? Drew tells Barrett to just win Blockbuster.

Barrett asks to be told before any vote happens. Drew says Devens is committed to the plan. Barrett is fine keeping Haley over Chuk. Drew agrees. Drew predicts that if Haley wins the next HoH, Melody would likely go up, possibly alongside LaLa and Taylor. Drew doesn't want either of them saying anything themselves, preferring to let Devens spread the message instead.

6:10 PM BBT: Feeds return to Mallory and Barrett in the SR. Mallory says one audience member screamed so loud during the show that they briefly thought Chuk had won Blockbuster. The other HouseGuests sit quietly around the DT.

6:15 PM BBT: Dee tries to catch a fly on the table while other HouseGuests watch. Devens jokes they'll all be heading to bed in about ten hours. Taylor says the day's only just getting started. Barrett wouldn't have guessed a few weeks ago that Chuk would already be gone. Surviving the Blockbuster has made him less afraid going forward. Mallory asks if he could hear anyone cheering for her when she had her Blockbuster win. Barrett doesn't remember the crowd getting that loud for the previous Blockbusters.

Angela pulls Haley into the Have Not room. Haley doesn't want any drama. Angela tells Haley she never flipped the vote to hurt her, swearing on her life that it was never her intention. Angela feels like she acted badly for yelling at her. She blames Kamu for bringing her into the earlier conversation hoping it would make for good television. Haley insists it wasn't actually Kamu who said that, it was Dee. Angela insists she never used the words Haley's attributing to her.

Haley says whatever was said made her feel like she was being told to just trust her gut, insisting she never used profanity in that moment, that she just sat there quietly. Haley's kept her composure through the whole ordeal despite being iced out by everyone. Angela thinks Dee and Devens actually started the whole thing, claiming they discussed LaLa controlling the conversation (This is a convenient conciliatory strategy, since it was in fact Kamu. -- Fuskie).

Haley has to process her best friend Chuk's eviction on top of everything else, telling Angela she can be a hothead. She tells her she only had two real friends in the House this past week and doesn't like being frozen out. If she would've behaved the way Angela had, she believes she would have been treated very differently. Angela was terrible to her and stayed silent while she was being bullied. Haley says Dee did talk to her, and that she always believed she would win.

Angela tears up. Her hands were tied and there was nothing she could do. Haley only targeted Melody because of Angela, and didn't nominate LaLa for the same reason, insisting she played selflessly rather than strategically, and that she's never lied throughout the process. Haley says the whole situation was hurtful. Angela takes full responsibility. She saw Haley crying and got up to hug her. Haley calls LaLa a horrible person. Angela promises she'll never vote Haley out or nominate her.

6:30 PM BBT: Haley tells Angela that Dee told people to go get her, promising that's the truth. Angela says it's good to know. Haley doesn't trust Dee at all, vowing that if she wins HoH, Dee will be nominated over the lies. Haley mentions Kamu explained his reasoning for not using the Veto, saying he told her he knew she hadn't lied. Kamu comes in and hugs Haley, telling her he loves her. Haley saw it coming and knew she had the win locked in. They hug again, and he wants to talk with her privately. He hugs Angela too.

Haley trusts Yash completely. Haley tells Angela it can't just be the two of them against everyone else. Angela says trust has to be earned. LaLa will likely be upset with her, and that Dee's been telling her to take a stand, though she won't go head-to-head with LaLa. Haley will.

Melody wishes Barrett had won the competition. Drew asks why. Just so he could finally have a win of his own.

Haley says none of this would fly in the real world. Angela would have ended up on the ground if it had (This isn't the real world, only Reality TV. -- Fuskie). Haley asks where exactly the Lyric vote flip originated. Angela doesn't know (Yes, she does. But she's not throwing Dee under the bus. Yet. -- Fuskie). Haley says the whole House is calling it the Icons' doing. Angela firmly denies it. Haley accuses Angela of calling her an enemy. Angela denies ever using that word. Haley insists she did, growing heated. Angela continues denying it.

Haley asks Angela what she thinks of Taylor. Angela tells her not to trust her. Taylor and LaLa are tightly linked, crossing her fingers to illustrate it. If Haley wins HoH, it's ok if she nominates her. Haley reminds her she gave her a birthday gift earlier. Angela won't nominate her, regardless.

Haley's done playing the nice girl. This entire week she felt bullied. Angela tells her she's tough. Haley reiterates the week was entirely about her being bullied, calling it completely true. Angela expected Haley to tell her to knock it off.

6:45 PM BBT: Haley tells Angela she needs to grow a backbone. She wants to talk to Kamu. The two hug, and Haley tells her she loves her (Some people come off the block and they are defensive, seeking to rebuild their game. Haley comes off the block aggressive, pushing everyone else to apologize. -- Fuskie).

Taylor asks Kamu if he's currently looking for a wife. Kamu won't marry someone hoping they'll change later. That rarely leads anywhere happy. Devens says laughter is the key ingredient in his marriage.

LaLa tells Melody she never nominated Kamu, meaning he owes her. Melody agrees. LaLa won't nominate Melody either. Melody says there are bigger targets to worry about. LaLa agrees, naming the three Icons.

7:00 PM BBT: Taylor and Haley talk. Haley says LaLa put Angela in an impossible position. Taylor says LaLa is now a target, since she's managed to upset Devens. Haley upset Devens too, after an incident involving the HoH camera and taking pictures of the guys in the Pod BR. Haley asks why LaLa changed the nominations in the first place. Taylor doesn't know.

Haley tells Taylor she still compliments Dee, even though Dee laughed at her, insisting that had nothing to do with the vote. Haley sat in the Gym, and when she said trust my gut, Angela lost it. "She called me a b*tch." Taylor heard it, calling it loud. Taylor's wanted to work with Haley for a while now. LaLa comes in. Haley gets called to the DR.

Devens declares it DiGiorno night, a tradition Angela agrees with. Taylor first tried DiGiorno at her aunt's house, and it's been a favorite ever since.

7:15 PM BBT: Taylor tells Angela she looks stressed, adding she feels the same way, though she isn't worried about Haley winning Blockbuster. LaLa is upset. Angela feels stuck between a rock and a hard place between LaLa and Haley. Taylor tells Angela that LaLa is turning people against her because of how she treated Haley.

Taylor tells Dee and Angela that before the live show, while she and others were sitting in the Hot Tub Lounge, LaLa asked to join them. Taylor said no, and once LaLa sat down anyway, everyone went quiet. It was a tense moment. When LaLa asked what they had been discussing, Taylor wouldn't tell her. Taylor says LaLa complained before the show that people weren't respecting her HoH. Dee responds that LaLa was only making things worse. Taylor admits there are moments she wishes she wasn't aligned with LaLa. She's caught between personal feelings and the game. Taylor just needs to survive three more weeks.

Angela's going to sit upstairs and zone out for a while, before getting called to the DR.

Mallory and Barrett are late for the pizza.

Dee and Angela talk in the WA. Angela thinks they're in a good spot with Haley. Dee says they can always pull everyone into a room together if it comes to that.

Haley and Kamu talk in the Have Not room. Kamu says she was played by the earlier Lyric vote, and that he always knew she would tell the truth. Chuk had been lying to him all week. Haley asks how? Chuk had been trying to pit him and Yash against each other. Haley asks if she has "idiot" written on her forehead. Kamu says no. Haley insists Chuk never did those things to her. Kamu didn't want to be the one to tell her. Haley's good at keeping secrets. Kamu says he wanted Chuk gone and for her to stay.

LaLa sits in the Pod Bedroom, calling the whole situation nonsense. Melody is quietly reading her Bible nearby. Drew comes in and tells LaLa he's confused by how this week has gone.

In the WA, Devens is plucking his nose hairs (Thanks for the close-up, BB. -- Fuskie).

Angela tells LaLa she looked upset earlier (that Haley won the Blockbuster). LaLa denies it. Angela insists she was. It came from the combination of things, and she's willing to explain to the house. LaLa asks her not to say anything. Angela tells LaLa she's only getting pieces of the story. LaLa's completely over it, insisting this isn't who she really is. Angela would never ask her to be anyone else. All she wants is to be able to talk to and be friends with both her and Haley.

LaLa says now that she's no longer HoH, people are leaving the room when she enters. Angela says that happened to her too, during her previous season. LaLa becomes a different person whenever she sees someone getting hurt. She can't fake her reactions. Angela tells her she doesn't have to. LaLa doesn't care if she never sees Haley again. She doesn't enjoy being around people like her. Angela reminds her the game can shift quickly.

Angela's going to go hard with everything she has for the next HoH. Some of LaLa's comments really hurt. Angela cared about Haley and was sad to see her nearly go home, even down to the somber music during the ceremony. It wasn't just one single thing bothering her. LaLa says regardless, Haley is going this week (It is not up to you, LaLa. -- Fuskie).

8:00 PM BBT: Angela asks LaLa if she can stay friends with both her and Haley. LaLa wouldn't believe a word out of Haley's mouth, insisting everything's fine (It doesn't sound fine. -- Fuskie). LaLa says Haley will always be difficult in her eyes. Angela asks if there's a version of things where LaLa can just get good sleep and wake up feeling like herself again. LaLa has no one to spend time with. Angela insists she does, hugging her and telling her she has her. LaLa starts crying. Angela holds her, telling her she's her friend. Angela tells LaLa that Taylor won't nominate her. LaLa isn't sure about Taylor (Neither am I. -- Fuskie). Angela says tomorrow is a fresh start. LaLa wipes her eyes.

Angela tells LaLa that people are trying to provoke a reaction out of her. LaLa says Dee seems to be spiraling too (Spinning webs, more accurately. -- Fuskie). Angela isn't sure Dee is actually struggling. Angela's going to start piecing together what actually happened.

8:20 PM BBT: Devens runs the WA faucet while using the WC. Production reminds the house to conserve water. Angela apologizes she has to turn it off and hear his plop-plop. LaLa says they should step out and give him privacy (That doesn't help us out, though. -- Fuskie).

Feeds break away for the HoH comp.

10:30 PM BBT: Feeds return with Yash confirmed as the new HoH, key around his neck.

Mallory tells Barrett she wants Yash to just name her as Have Not right away to get it over with.

10:45 PM BBT: Angela, Haley, Kamu, Devens, and Drew sit together at the table. Mallory was hoping nobody would pick her during the competition so she could end up in the finals. Devens says that was actually his strategy before coming on the show.

11:00 PM BBT: Kamu lost thirty pounds in three days once, dropping from 176 to 146 (Me, but it was on Ozempic. -- Fuskie). LaLa asks Kamu how MMA compares to other sports in terms of head injuries. Kamu says MMA is actually much safer than boxing.

Haley and Angela talk in the Hot Tub Lounge. Haley predicts Yash will nominate LaLa. Angela disagrees, saying Yash and LaLa are close. Haley would make LaLa a Have Not, insisting she doesn't care if she's sick. Angela asks who Yash is planning to nominate. Haley says Yash is fine with Mallory and Taylor. Angela guesses Yash will end up targeting women. She wanted to win the HoH, but it was hard. Haley agrees it was tough.

She asks if Angela talks to Yash. She does, and she thinks they're in a good place, though she caveats that this is still Big Brother. She's glad there won't be a repeat HoH. Haley asks who Angela would have nominated. Angela'd have wanted Haley's help deciding. Haley's list wouldn't have matched. Drew is an easy target to nominate. Angela'd try to make a deal with Drew instead. Haley points out that everyone except the Icons and Kamu has already faced the block.

Dee tells Barrett she talks to Yash on a human level and laughs with him, asking if Barrett likes him. Barrett does, but also knows he's not to be trusted. Haley's fine with Yash for now, but worries she could be nominated next week. Angela isn't sure what Yash will do. Haley thinks she has America's support. LaLa wouldn't even look at her when she walked in earlier. Barrett asks Dee if she has a power. Dee asks why he'd think that. Barrett says logically, she and Devens seem like the most likely candidates. Dee questions his logic.

11:15 PM BBT: Dee pushes Barrett to formally request a power from America, coaching him through a direct appeal to camera. He says he's scared and needs a power to protect him. He thanks America for giving Mallory the opportunity already. He hopes they are enjoying the season. Haley says everyone in the House is afraid of LaLa. Angela is a little afraid. Haley isn't going to be unkind because LaLa seems unhappy that she (Haley) is still in the House.

Dee tells Barrett that she and Mallory are on good terms. Barrett clarifies his alliance stands for "For the American people," not FAP. Dee says they're fine. Barrett says it'll be interesting to see how things play out, but he feels good about their position. Dee and Barrett exchange loyalties, with Barrett calling her his favorite. The less she knows about FAP the better, Dee tells him.

Dee jokes to the camera about Yash's supposedly enormous extended family, quickly clarifying she's joking. She was the one who originally nominated him in week one, so she could be a target. She tells Barrett she's volunteering to be a Have Not. Barrett warns her about what happened to him when he volunteered. He ended up nominated. Dee says the worst part of the experience is having to sleep in someone else's dirty bedding. She urges Barrett to tell live feeders how much he loves her.

Angela asks Haley where she's sleeping. Haley says Yash's bed because he smells good. She doesn't want a top bunk and would like a nightlight.

11:30 PM BBT: Drew films a mock Paramount+ commercial for the cameras, promoting UFC, Big Brother, Survivor, and SpongeBob.

Dee searches for a place to sleep, refusing to go to the Pod BR. Kamu offers his bed, saying he'll take the Have Not room instead. Dee had wanted to sleep on the floor, but Kamu says that isn't allowed. Dee jokes it's their House and their rules (It's BB's House and Rules. They are just living in it. -- Fuskie). Kamu asks if they're the ones paying the bills.

Dee asks Production for sardines, red wine, and cherries. Kamu suggests seedless cherries. Dee notes the sugar content. Kamu still wants a jar of them. Dee calls that unhealthy and asks Haley which option would actually be better.

Angela says the way people got picked in the HoH comp didn't make sense. Drew, in the WA, tells them to keep it down. Drew got eliminated quickly. Barrett notes Drew had actually been positioned against Devens (It sounds like this was a comp where the winner of each round picked who competed in the next round. -- Fuskie).

Angela predicts Yash will nominate the Icons and simply wish them luck. Barrett apologizes for not winning the HoH. Angela tells him not to be too hard on himself. He outperformed the rest of them. LaLa seems thrilled Yash won. Barrett asks Angela why everyone seems to be best friends with Kamu, questioning why he's never faced the block. He doesn't understand why Dee isn't more worried about being nominated, wondering if she might have a power. Angela says Devens is still upstairs (talking to Yash), and hopes Dee understands why. Barrett floats the idea of an HoH takeover twist. He teased Devens about secretly having a power.

Wednesday, August 12, 2026 — To Flip or Not To Flip - That Is The Question

Previously on the BB Live Feeds

12:00 AM BBT: Melody's never given an unattractive guy a real chance. Mallory hasn't been on many first dates. Melody's been on plenty. Drew listens quietly.

12:15 AM BBT: Drew tells Mallory she keeps becoming more and more one of his favorite people. She's hilarious. Mallory jokes she already knows he's obsessed with her. Drew says Zach (her BF. -- Fuskie) is clearly in love with her, or he's a fool not to be. Mallory is worried he might already be seeing someone else. On that delightful thought, she heads to bed. Drew calls her the most realist person in the House. Drew asks Melody not to tell people he walks around talking too much. He's worried Taylor will come after him and Melody.

Melody doesn't enjoy cooking, calling it stressful since everything ends up dirty afterward. Drew did a pretend cooking-competition episode with friends using pantry ingredients, judged by a friend who works as a cook at Chipotle. Drew's picked up that Melody likes going out and drinking. Melody confirms she used to go out more. Drew calls her cool for it. Drew asks why she doesn't go out as much anymore. She's working two jobs now.

Drew isn't sure he'd want to sleep in the HoH room alone, saying he might offer it to LaLa instead.

Melody prefers cats over dogs (I don't know about Drew, but that would be a deal-breaker for me. -- Fuskie).

12:45 AM BBT: Drew's afraid his own dog will forget him while he's away. Melody had two finches as a kid, named after Eden and Eve. She kept them for about a year around age ten to twelve, before her cat killed them. Melody describes coming home to find the birdcage on the ground, feathers and blood everywhere. She was devastated (And traumatized, I'd imagine. -- Fuskie), and that her mom's boyfriend was unkind about the situation. The birds had been sweet. The birds used to stare at themselves in a mirror constantly. It reminds her of Drew. Drew likes that comparison, explaining he looks in mirrors partly to avoid conversations.

Drew wonders if that makes him a narcissist (Wanting to be on a Reality TV show where your every waking - and sleeping - moment is live streamed 24x7 makes them all narcissists. -- Fuskie). Melody admits she's a little narcissistic herself, listing her achievements in DECA, cheerleading, and college. Drew thinks cheerleading strange. Melody won a rare cheerleading award, and says the country needs cheerleaders. Drew says she doesn't give off typical cheerleader energy. Melody asks what that would even look like. Drew names Lyric as an example.

Melody got to perform at a well-known improv theater in her first year doing standup, recalling she tripped walking out and turned it into part of her routine. She felt proud of how she handled it. Drew can't wait to see her perform standup someday, predicting she has a real future in it.

1:00 AM BBT: Drew asks Melody if she's ready for bed. Not yet. He asks if she wants alone time. She already had some earlier, pretending to call her mom, though she'd originally gone to the Gym for privacy when she found Chuk and Haley there, so she made the call from her bed instead.

---

9:45 AM BBT: Dee tells Feeders that they're up early.

10:15 AM BBT: Mallory notes that starting next week, it will take four votes just to force a tie, calling that a wild number (it's actually 5 votes, but who's counting. -- Fuskie).

10:45 AM BBT: Several HouseGuests sit at the DT while Mallory walks laps in the SR, with the nominee suitcases visible nearby. Devens wants to repay everyone who's cooked, offering to make cereal for anyone who wants it the next day. Barrett gets called to the DR. The House applauds.

12:45 PM BBT: Taylor tells Chuk he needs to shave his pubic hair because his balls stink (I don't want to know how she knows. -- Fuskie).

In the Gym, LaLa tells Kamu they all already know the plan. Kamu doesn't think a vote flip is happening. LaLa loves that people think she's foolish. Kamu doesn't see her that way. She's got plenty of support in the House. Mallory joins them. LaLa thinks she's gained ten pounds while sick, but feels better now and plans to resume her stair workouts.

1:00 PM BBT: Angela and Dee sit in the Hot Tub Lounge as Taylor walks by heading to the shower. Angela says there's nothing else to do. Dee just sleeps in. She thinks they can still win Haley back. How, Angela asks. By showing her loyalty. Haley dislikes LaLa and Taylor more than them, meaning those two would be her real targets if she stays. Angela doesn't think Haley will tell her hello at this point. Dee will flatter her for winning Blockbuster. Angela admits she was acting foolishly earlier after leaving the DR.

Devens talks about the teachers he connected with growing up, saying he would go out of his way to please any teacher who liked him. He loved math until a teacher he didn't click with turned him off the subject entirely (Teachers have the power to flame your academic passion, but also to extinguish dreams. -- Fuskie).

Angela says Taylor doesn't have a close GF in the House the way Angela has Dee. It's summer, and she wants to have fun, unlike Taylor, who she feels is missing out by playing so intensely. Dee says Taylor barely left her pod during the first three weeks. Angela says Taylor just sits with her Bible all night. Angela enjoys making Taylor nervous, since Taylor believes she and LaLa hold all the power. Dee jokes about the surprise coming when they flip the vote again. Angela says LaLa and Taylor feel completely safe, believing they have the House's men locked down.

Dee wants to keep Haley, floating a group of Angela, Mallory, Drew, and Devens to flip the vote, possibly pulling Kamu in too. Dee asks what she really has to lose by trying it, laughing that this is seriously fun. Angela says it's so much better than her last time playing. Dee says having good people around makes all the difference, calling last week fun despite the mess. Angela admits she's in deep now.

1:15 PM BBT: Angela says Taylor enjoys calling Chuk stupid. Angela says if she goes home, she had fun. Taylor lives in a constant state of paranoia and over-studying the game, calling her out of touch (When I look up "paranoia" in an AI Bot, it says "See Angela." -- Fuskie). Dee says Haley staying keeps the whole House fighting itself. They've always stayed true to Barrett and Drew. Angela doesn't think they should tell Haley who's been protecting her, to not expose their full alliance. Dee never wants to give her word and then break it, since that's never been her style and it's really all a person has in this game.

Dee tells Angela she doesn't have a power (So much for not lying. -- Fuskie). She says Kamu is scarier than he's given credit for, though she doesn't think he would go after them. She tells Angela she would put her game on the line for her (She can't help! -- Fuskie). She believes Kamu's account of being the odd one out with Haley and Chuk. Dee tells Angela they need Kamu just as much as he needs them. Angela would never nominate Mallory, unsure what others might be telling her.

Devens gets loud in the KT. Dee will go be social. She asks about her hair. Angela says it's bouncy. Dee doesn't trust product claiming to do everything.

Kamu greets Yash as he enters the Gym. He tells Mallory her time to win HoH will come eventually, asking if she was the last woman standing on the wall besides LaLa. She was. Mallory wipes down Gym equipment while talking to Kamu about past HoH letters.

Devens has been stunned by the response to doing Cameo requests. He wrote and illustrated a children's book that's nearly ready for release. Melody calls that cool, and Devens explains it centers on imagination and characters with distinct personalities. Devens says his book was originally timed for release around Survivor 50, then Big Brother, but wasn't ready in time (This indicates he was cast for Big Brother last Winter. -- Fuskie). It will probably now line up with Traitors instead (Was that a leak, or a hope? -- Fuskie). He started watching that show because of Rob Cesternino and now wants to compete on it.

Angela mentions Tiffany went out early on Traitors because strategic players were targeted (Isn't that a strategy itself? -- Fuskie). LaLa says Ian did well on Traitors, calling him brilliant, though she thought he looked older than she remembered (He was a young 21 years of age in 2012 when he won BB14. -- Fuskie).

Chuk's family are all tall. Haley wants a protein shake. Chuk says Barrett's shakes always look dark. Haley explains that's just coffee. They volunteered to be Have Nots without realizing they would also end up on the block.

2:00 PM BBT: Mallory exits the Gym, leaving Yash and Kamu to talk. Yash asks Kamu to let him know if he hears anything different about the vote. Kamu agrees, confirming he's locked in with Taylor, Devens, and Yash. Yash hopes for a long, successful summer together. He says Drew and Melody might nominate him because he already confessed to voting her out instead of Lyric. Kamu says the Wolf Pack has his back. He assured Yash that Drew is locked in with them. Yash asks who Dee is closest with. Kamu says Angela. They're in good standing with LaLa, Taylor, Dee, and Angela. Yash says it's hard to predict how things will unfold. For him, only Melody and Drew are real question marks.

Kamu tells Yash that people in the House forgive, but they don't forget, framing their situation as kill or be killed. Yash asks if they should backdoor Chuk or just nominate him outright. Kamu says Chuk isn't strong in competitions. Yash says he refused to keep score during a game of cornhole early on. He's fundamentally uncompetitive, and his safety competition win was a fluke, like a broken clock being right twice a day (That would imply Chuk could win again on sheer luck. -- Fuskie). Yash tells Kamu that Chuk brought up a conversation from four weeks earlier, questioning why he would bring it up now?

2:15 PM BBT: Melody doesn't want to go to the Gym while Chuk and Kamu are in there, planning to ask LaLa if she can use the HoH shower instead. Taylor asks BB for something to help her with a fingernail problem. Melody warns her it could get worse. Taylor says it will be fine.

Drew and Melody talk on the WA couch. Yash might win the next HoH, he says, noting Kamu and Yash are plotting something. Melody says that worries her. Drew tells her not to be.

2:30 PM BBT: Devens, Yash, and Kamu sit in the Gym. Yash says Angela is volatile, warning it's risky to get close to her since whatever you tell her tends to come out distorted. He tries to stay neutral with her, so she can't twist his words. Kamu says whenever anyone discusses the Icons, Dee and Devens come up, but nobody views Angela as a real threat. Devens says Angela's always been wary of Drew, but she loves Mallory, though he notes everyone loves Mallory. Yash, Devens, and Kamu jokingly name their three-person alliance the "Bermuda Triangle."

Haley tells Drew she doesn't get involved in drama. She trusts Yash and wants any alliance capped at five people, since the Icons already feel too tightly bonded. Drew asks when she last ate. She says the previous morning. She isn't expending much energy. Chuk's been in the DR a long time, she observes. Drew wonders if he has a power. Maybe. She's still surprised Mallory got one the week before. Haley guesses Jason might have had a power. Drew wonders if Lyric had one. Haley asks if Devens has one. Drew isn't sure. Kamu said he didn't want Devens nominated, Haley tells Drew, and she wonders if that wasn't really about protecting a power. Haley wants to start using ChatGPT more. Drew wonders what the newest TikTok trend is.

2:45 PM BBT: Devens says if money weren't a concern, he would consider having a third child. His kids would love another sibling, describing his son as a loving older brother and a daughter who idolizes him. Kamu loves hearing that. Devens' daughter is a tomboy who still likes wearing dresses, calling it pure joy having his kids get along so well. Kamu asks if the age gap between Devens' kids works well. Devens explains his wife didn't enjoy being pregnant, so the decision was left to her, resulting in nearly a four-year gap.

3:00 PM BBT: Yash questions how books become bestsellers. He thinks it's marketing and the label gets handed out too easily. Haley says it comes down to sales. Yash thinks the criteria should be stricter. Barrett says being a "bestselling author" sets a lower bar. Drew says he's a bestseller on his street, and everyone laughs. Yash says foods today are marketed as high-protein. Drew says protein mac and cheese. Yash says ice cream. Haley thinks protein ice cream is good.

Chuk uses a fitness tracking app that Haley dislikes. She missed her best friend's wedding once and went to Applebee's to drink instead, having expected the ceremony to run long since her friend is Catholic, only for it to last just thirty minutes. Chuk called her a grandma for liking Chex Mix. She asks if anyone knows Gardettos, and explains it is a mix of breadsticks, pretzels, and rye chips when nobody does.

3:30 PM BBT: Kamu tells Devens and Dee that this has been a smooth week overall. It was the first HoH by someone outside the Tool Shed. Dee agrees they did well. Kamu says they will get back on track quickly. Devens appreciates a stress-free week for once. He asks if Angela's doing okay, since she was talking about her family. Dee says it was really just about her dogs.

LaLa tells Angela that Haley is playing question games, calling her a textbook passive-aggressive. Angela asks what Broadway show LaLa would take her to see. LaLa would have to check current listings first (Angela is from Utah, so how about The Book of Mormon? -- Fuskie). Angela says LaLa's cooking gives off holiday vibes. LaLa makes apple crisps for the holidays.

Dee tells Devens that Rizo would fit in well with the younger HouseGuests, given his laid-back nature (I was thinking Drew is a BB version of Rizo. -- Fuskie). Devens was surprised to learn after Survivor 50 that Rizo was 27; he thought he was younger. Dee jokes Rizo wouldn't wash dishes or load the dishwasher.

Angela does an impression of Enzo for LaLa, who says that's more South Jersey. Taylor comes downstairs to let LaLa know Melody is using the HoH shower.

4:00 PM BBT: Angela says after her grandkids visit, she likes to settle into her recliner for a nap. LaLa loves napping too. Angela tells LaLa she should learn chess, or checkers, just to have something to do in the House.

Angela goes to the Gym. Kamu jokes she should really join them, mentioning Dee and Devens had just been reminiscing about Survivor. He asks if Joe tried to contact him after what happened (Joe and Devens got into an argument over game strategy in Survivor 50. -- Fuskie).

Barrett's itchy, wondering if it's from the yard grass or ants. Haley tells him to use lotion (Try an OTC hydrocortisone cream. -- Fuskie). Haley prepares a Have Not-ending dinner spread, asking Yash to be her taste tester. Haley isn't adding sugar and Yash says it tastes great. She asks if there's any aftertaste. He says no.

4:30 PM BBT: Devens, Dee, LaLa, Drew, and Angela sit in the Gym. LaLa tells Angela she should try out for Survivor, saying she's earned a spot and that the show would be lucky to have her. It's LaLa's long-held dream. Dee says anyone can play Survivor. Angela says it would have to be well after this Big Brother season. Dee says Survivor won't film again until next summer. She would go back anytime she's asked, barring pregnancy. Drew would do any reality show offered to him. LaLa jokes Drew would lose too much weight playing Survivor. Drew says his hair looks great in salt water.

Haley tells Barrett she wants to make his Have Not dinner feast special, since he's never experienced one. During his previous Have Not stint, he slept through the dinner and didn't realize it had ended. He didn't eat until just before the live show.

Dee and Mallory lie on the couch talking. Mallory wonders if the next HoH competition will involve a balance beam. Dee asks about Mallory's mug cake recipes. Drew hopes Angela and LaLa get their spinoff show someday. Angela suggests they leave the Gym. LaLa tells her not to run from things, promising she would fight for her if it came to that. Angela tells LaLa she doesn't know what's coming this week and urges her not to pick a fight. LaLa can't stand Chuk, calling him a coward. Angela warns that people have ammunition against her. LaLa insists she isn't pretending to like Haley, framing that kind of fakeness as something Haley does. LaLa calls Haley a fake and a liar. She doesn't want to be near her.

4:45 PM BBT: Angela asks what LaLa would do if Haley won the next HoH. LaLa wouldn't care either way. Angela might end up on the block right beside her if that happens. LaLa tells Angela they would have the votes to survive if Haley nominated them (Only one can survive an eviction vote. -- Fuskie). Angela already lost Kamu, since he's aligned with the men now. LaLa tells Angela to trust her.

Angela didn't realize LaLa's crying in the BY had been an act. LaLa pretends to cry. Angela laughs, saying LaLa got her, admitting she thought LaLa didn't understand the game all along. LaLa tells Angela that Kamu is her guy and always keeps his word. Angela asks if LaLa approached him first, or the reverse. LaLa told Kamu he was going up, and he said he would accept going home since he no longer had a real alliance, then made her several promises in return. LaLa secured her position by aligning with Kamu, Angela says, calling him a strong ally.

LaLa doesn't care at all about Haley. She's rude and the way she talks angers her. She doesn't know what world she's living in and is passive-aggressive. Angela says Chuk and Haley are campaigning hard, just not to her. She says Chuk apologized to her, though it felt more like strategy than sincerity. LaLa thinks Chuk's been talking about her behind her back, claiming he will nominate her and Taylor, mocking her as someone who doesn't know how to play the game despite being the reigning HoH, with Chuk stuck downstairs.

5:15 PM BBT: If Chuk wins HoH, he promises Devens, you will not see the block. He would not nominate The Red Corner. He shakes on it.

5:30 PM BBT: LaLa tells Angela she's shillin'. It's a me day, Angela replies. Taylor says Angela has a changed spirit and it's good. LaLa was ready to beat a b*tch down, that Haley is rude and disrespectful. Angela thinks Chuk needs a haircut. No real man wears a hat in the House, LaLa says. She calls Devens funny, and then complains again about the "kids" not watching the dishes.

Haley talks about her home. The pool cost over $1 million. Her parents bought the property nextdoor and they are going to build a Mother-in-Law House. They don't want neighbors (I can see where Haley learned her social skills. -- Fuskie). Kamu asks how big the lot is, and Haley replies 10 acres of mostly undeveloped land. The nearest grocery store is 20 minutes away.

6:00 PM BBT: Drew has autographs from BB King, Johnny Cash, and Willie Nelson (Cash passed away 23 years ago, so it doesn't seem Drew collected these in person. -- Fuskie). His dad played with the Stray Cats in Vegas (Buzz Campbell is a rockabilly guitarist and singer who fronted the band Hot Rod Lincoln and has toured and recorded extensively with Lee Rocker, the bassist of the Stray Cats. -- Fuskie). Drew can't remember if Guns N' Roses was an 80s or 90s band (They were late 80s and that makes me feel old. -- Fuskie).

6:15 PM BBT: Drew continues talking about his family. His sister lives at home and they butt heads because they have such similar personalities - talented and stubborn. Just wait for the grandkids to come, Devens jokes, they will work it out.

6:45 PM BBT: In HoH, LaLa tells Taylor Drew is on her last nerves. "Baby boy", she calls him, they're trying to get him to the Jury and he won't stop talking to Haley (Just in case Haley wins Blockbuster or evades eviction, Drew wants to be on her good side. -- Fuskie). Taylor says Haley put her up just because she talked to Jason. She's not the ruler of the House, LaLa complains. This has been a perfect setup for her HoH, LaLa gloats. You always try to be nice? You spit in my face? Say it out loud, Taylor eggs her on.

Do the others think there's a Housing Fairy to clean? They are doing better, Taylor says. LaLa says no they aren't.

7:00 PM BBT: Mallory is planning another flight tonight, but tickets will be $4 billion.

8:00 PM BBT: Mallory Airlines takes off, with Devens and LaLa seated in First Class. Kamu, Haley, Yash, Drew, Melody, Barrett, and Taylor fill out the Economy section.

8:15 PM BBT: The passengers scream and Mallory runs to the SR.

Dee shoots Devens as she boards. Dr. Angela steps in to save him. Mallory cuts off Devens' arm; she will serve it to the other passengers as an inflight meal.

9:00 PM BBT: Mallory Airlines goes in for a landing. Angela declares she's never flying again. Devens asks if it was a bad flight. Kamu thanks Mallory for a great flight and asks if they can take a train across California next. If she's the conductor, Mallory says. Devens says everyone had fun. Mallory thanks them for flying Mallory Airlines. Kamu gives Mallory a five-star rating. Kamu and Devens both thought it was later than 9:15.

9:15 PM BBT: Barrett massages Dee's arms after she deadlifted earlier and is sore. The two share a long hug in the WA. She tells Barrett that it was sad watching Haley cry earlier.

Kamu lies next to Haley in the Have Not room after she's been crying. He tells her they all love her.

Barrett's leaving some clothes behind rather than packing them. Dee tells him not to talk that way. Barrett will leave a sweater she likes behind. Dee jokes she'd evict him just for his sweaters. Barrett says not packing at all would be rude.

Yash and Drew, in the SR, agree the House doesn't realize how close they are. Yash calls that a good thing, since it makes them harder to pick off. Drew tells Yash this is an easier week to be HoH, since there's one obvious nominee. Haley interrupts them, then LaLa walks in asking if they're conspiring.

9:30 PM BBT: Kamu asks if the HoH movie reward is coming up soon. Drew guesses within the next few weeks (Possibly "By Any Means", upcoming Mark Wahlberg movie. -- Fuskie). Kamu asks what movie it might be. Drew guesses something animated. Kamu hopes for something family-friendly, then asks what everyone's up to. Drew's still decompressing from the flight.

Kamu loves Thursdays, ranking Thursday through Saturday as the most exciting stretch of the week. Drew feels like he hasn't done anything in days. Kamu tells him not to rock the boat, noting that Derrick (BB16) wasn't a major player until the back half of his season. Angela asks Drew and Kamu if they're having an interesting conversation worth joining, then leaves without waiting for an answer (She just wanted them to know she's watching. Always watching. -- Fuskie).

LaLa, Dee, Mallory, Barrett, and Angela debate how to properly pronounce the word "album." Barrett says Mallory keeps him humble. LaLa jokes that Mallory has a secret alter ego involving chains, whips, and heels, offering to become her manager and book her appointments. She has high-paying clients who'd want to be caged and walked. LaLa's looking forward to the train trip. Mallory compares it to the Polar Express (Somehow I don't think it will end up that way. -- Fuskie). Angela says trains are fun since people can hop on and off. LaLa leaves, and Angela says Haley could win the Blockbuster tomorrow. LaLa shut her down when she tried to talk to Haley.

Yash says the pods are comfortable. Kamu wants to sleep in the Pod BR at least once just to say he's slept everywhere in the House. Yash jokes about being tied to his current pod, though he might allow himself one night away.

Mallory pulls Kamu aside upstairs to talk. Kamu says Lyric told him that she and Melody were pulling away from Mallory because Mallory brought up his name and the Icons, and that Lyric also claimed Mallory didn't trust Barrett.

10:00 PM BBT: Kamu didn't say anything before to Mallory because he didn't want to stir things up and preferred to wait and see how the House settled after her eviction. Mallory never fully understood Lyric's gameplay, feeling thrown under the bus by her. She says right before she left, Lyric warned her Kamu was coming after her. Kamu denies it. Mallory believes him. Kamu and Mallory hug, agreeing things are good between them now. Kamu says the flight was fun and he will be on the train tomorrow. Just let him know when to buy a ticket.

Angela wishes the game didn't work this way, wishing instead for a points-based system with no eviction votes.

10:30 PM BBT: Barrett says Gremlins 2 was better than the original. Drew agrees, calling it a classic.

Angela asks Melody to shift over so she can claim the corner of the WA couch. Mallory heads upstairs to play with the prop computer. Barrett loved Gremlins 2 so much he never watched the third film, assuming it couldn't be better. Angela confirms the third one wasn't good.

Dee and Angela talk in the Hot Tub Lounge. Dee says Barrett told her he feels uneasy about Drew, calling that a good sign. Angela agrees, saying they both know Barrett would go along with whatever they wanted in that situation. Dee says in a perfect world, Yash goes home before Taylor does. Dee agrees Yash is Kamu's top ally, and that she wants him gone first, since Taylor doesn't have anyone else backing her. Dee tells Angela they currently have the numbers, and that pulling Kamu further onto their side could let them use him to take out FAP (Barrett had spilled the beans on his alliance with Drew, Mallory, and Melody. -- Fuskie).

Angela notes FAP didn't seem to care about her earlier when she tried to join one of their word games. Dee tells Angela to talk to Haley. Angela will wait until Haley's finished eating. Dee thinks Yash is aligned with LaLa. Angela calls Yash fake. Ever since Angela nominated him, Dee agrees, adding Kamu and Yash have been close since week one. During the first week, Kamu wanted her to nominate Ashley instead of Yash, and she refused, not wanting three women on the block at once.

Angela thinks she and Haley will stay close after the show ends. Angela loves being recognized by fans. Angela compares flight times to LA from Utah (1.5 hours) and Dee's Miami (5.5 hours). Angela jokes that's about two movies' worth of time. Dee just scrolls TikToks.

11:00 PM BBT: Dee flips off Devens as he walks by. Angela sticks her tongue out at him. Dee suggests they do the same to the next person who passes. Dee flips off Drew. He jumps onto the Hot Tub Lounge couch next to her, then leaves, joking he's telling their mom. Dee loves this room. Her old social media handle used to reference wanting to disappear. Angela asks if that was travel-related. Dee says it was more about wanting to vanish in general. She tried to reclaim the old handle later, but someone else had taken it. Angela hates when that happens.

Drew announces everyone's wearing pajamas for the live show. Kamu will wear sweats. Drew will wear Mallory's unicorn pajamas. Dee asks whose idea the pajama day was. Drew says it was yours. Dee confirms she's a genius. Angela and Dee tell Drew he should grow a beard. Drew says it isn't really his style and wouldn't fly at his job. Kamu mentions he's had his own beard for over a decade.

Barrett packs with Mallory's help. She tries on his flower headband, asking where he got it. Barrett says a flea market and promises to take her there sometime. Barrett asks if production gave Mallory glue. No. They're probably worried she'd sniff it or eat it, he teases. Mallory admits she probably would, or use it to prank people by gluing toilet seats. Barrett thanks Mallory and says he couldn't have packed without her.

11:15 PM BBT: Kamu hopes Have Not restrictions have officially ended. Angela says it typically ends once there are enough beds again. Dee thought it usually lasted longer. Angela says no. Kamu recalls BB16 where Have Not status dragged on much longer. Angela talks about Tucker's (BB25) wild hair and nails. Kamu says production should bring him back. Angela says nobody's ever quite matched his energy.

Mallory tells Barrett about her earlier conversation with Kamu.

11:30 PM BBT: Devens enjoys root beer floats. Barrett loves those too; his grandmother used to make them. Devens says he's basically Barrett's grandma now. Barrett says his grandmother would have loved Devens. Devens' lived to see his first Survivor season air but not his second. He asks Barrett where he's sleeping tonight. Barrett assumed he'd be with him in the Outer BR. Devens asks if that means crunched in with the Dorito mess. Barrett clarifies he means sleeping near Devens, not in the Doritos bed.

Kamu asks what happened with the Doritos incident. Devens was really upset and let an expletive slip before eventually falling back asleep. The whole thing got out of hand, Barrett says. Devens tried to go back to bed after washing his sheets, only to find them covered in crushed Doritos again. He was frustrated that Dee and Angela were still laughing about it afterward. He went to the WA, looked in the mirror, and reminded himself these are his friends and not to be angry with them, before heading back to bed. Kamu tells him they weren't laughing at him. If they have a hide-and-seek Veto competition, he will get his revenge by hiding Dorito crumbs in everything Dee and Angela own, including their bags.

11:45 PM BBT: Haley waits in the KT to eat. She's struggling and calling this the worst week yet, with twelve minutes left on the clock. Her plate of non-slop food is ready at the table with 8 minutes to go. Chuk also has his food ready. Barrett comes in to grab some. Taylor made the feast for them. Haley wants Taylor's air fryer wing recipe.

11:55 PM BBT: Angela cries outside the WA just after Haley leaves, saying she doesn't understand why she loves people so much. The House counts down together as Have Not restrictions officially end and the rest of the House watches the Have Nots finally eat. Devens hopes it's the last time.

Previously on the BB Live Feeds

12:00 AM BBT: Angela explains you need a paid Paramount+ subscription to watch the live feeds (or get them free through Pluto TV. -- Fuskie), though it's only around $10 if you catch a deal ($8.99 for the ad-supported subscription, $13.99 ad-free. MortysTV.com/to/FEEDS -- Fuskie). She wishes the feeds were recorded so people could rewatch them later. Dee asks how viewers know which camera to watch. Angela says there are four total.

12:15 AM BBT: Angela licks a Dorito, joking how good it tastes. Dee laughs. Angela asks her husband, Chuck, on camera if she's being naughty. Dee answers yes, she is. Angela says it feels wonderful. Angela will be in the House for her 53rd birthday next week. Dee will be in the House for her own 30th on October 2nd (The Season Finale is scheduled for October 1st. -- Fuskie). Melody peels the steel-cut oats sticker off a slop bucket and sticks it on her water flask. Yash says it looks great. Angela lets feeders know that Yash is single and available, encouraging people to DM her on his behalf. Dee says anyone who's a friend to them first will get an introduction.

12:20 AM BBT: Barrett comes in. Dee hugs him, then Angela joins the hug, before Barrett and Dee linger in a longer embrace. Angela asks Barrett to say hello to her son CJ on camera. Barrett obliges, guessing CJ must be great if he takes after his mom. Angela suggests the two of them could become friends. Dee asks Barrett about his family watching the season. He hopes it's been fun for them, and that some good memes have come out of it. Barrett hopes his friends are hosting watch parties.

12:30 AM BBT: Drew sits alone on the Hot Tub Lounge couch.

Dee, Barrett, and Angela laugh in the Open BR about a message Barrett sent his family. Angela says they've never actually seen his toes. Dee tells him to show them. Barrett refuses.

Melody tells Drew he doesn't actually want to hang out with her. Drew insists he always does. Mallory asks if Barrett already went to bed. Melody didn't say goodnight. Mallory calls that suspicious.

12:35 AM BBT: Dee tells Barrett this week would have been miserable if he'd ended up against someone else, warning it will only get harder as the weeks continue. They will figure it out together.

Angela says if she wins HoH, nobody will tell her what to do. Melody says if they want Kamu gone, they need a plan. Drew wonders who could actually beat Kamu in Blockbuster. Melody guesses Haley. Drew thinks he could do it. Mallory suggests seating Kamu next to the Icons to vote him out. Drew wonders if Yash would even go up against Kamu. Melody wants Kamu out before Jury.

Mallory thinks Kamu already has a deal with Taylor, Lala, and Yash, suggesting they nominate the Icons and Kamu together and tell the Icons why. Mallory repeats she wants Kamu gone. Drew calls him the biggest threat left in the House. He says Dee isn't winning anything, Devens hasn't won recently (though Melody can see him winning eventually), and Angela won't win anything either. But Kamu keeps winning. Mallory wonders if people are simply charmed by Kamu, or if there's actual deals behind it.

12:45 AM BBT: Drew wants Kamu backdoored. Mallory asks what happens if Kamu wins the veto and pulls someone else down instead.

Dee asks Barrett if she's holding him hostage, and Barrett is OK with it. She tells him to be Kamu's best friend tomorrow and spend the whole day with him. Angela watches the exchange.

12:55 AM BBT: Dee pranks Devens by placing Doritos on him as he sleeps in bed. Angela, Barrett, and Dee all laugh when Devens wakes up, startled. Angela says more pranks are coming. Mallory walks by and they say goodnight. Dee wants to pull off a prank that actually makes someone mad (That doesn't seem to be a very sound strategy. -- Fuskie).

1:00 AM BBT: Dee tells Angela that if she doesn't call her something like "b*tch," it doesn't mean she loves her any less. Angela doesn't like that she called Haley that earlier. Dee reassures her that she and Haley will be fine. Angela says there's more going on with Kamu than they realize. Dee says Kamu holds his cards close. Angela says Kamu was supposed to talk to them about forming a foursome, but never followed through. Dee says they need to rebuild trust with him. Angela says the lying seems to really bother Kamu. Dee says they need to build an actual relationship with him, not just a strategic one.

Dee tells Angela that anyone who wants to keep Haley around is essentially finished in the House. Anyone who thinks that way needs to go. Dee will only push for HoH if she has to; she doesn't want Taylor to win, but would be fine with Barrett winning. Dee will "air out" the Honor Society if it comes to that. Angela asks what just hit her, realizing it was a Dorito thrown by Devens, whose bed is now covered in crumbs. Angela apologizes.

Dee admits she got carried away and that it wasn't actually funny. She hates when people she loves get upset with her. Dee tells Angela not to call Haley a b*tch again. Angela insists she normally would never say something like that and feels really bad. Dee questions that. Angela feels bad saying it to Haley. Dee feels bad about the Dorito prank on Devens. Angela suggests making Devens breakfast, since he doesn't like cooking for himself.

1:15 AM BBT: Devens gets out of bed and leaves, visibly upset. Dee feels terrible, blaming the noise and the Doritos, saying she doesn't want to see Devens's reaction when he comes back. She's never seen him like that before. Devens returns to bed. Dee apologizes repeatedly. He says it's fine, cleans the crumbs off, and goes back to sleep.

1:25 AM BBT: Melody shows Drew the stickers she's peeled off items around the House to decorate her water flask. She asks what last year's BB cups looked like. Drew says they're available for purchase on Paramount+. Melody wants to engrave her name on hers. They talk about the Y2K scare, with Drew (That neither were alive yet for. -- Fuskie), explaining the fear that all computers would fail. He jokes about a future without phones or computers. Melody says that sounds perfect.

1:30 AM BBT: Melody and Drew head to bed, passing Kamu on the way, eating his nightly bowl of cereal in the KT. Drew says they never really talk. Kamu asks how Barrett's doing. Drew says Barrett feels like he couldn't be sitting next to two better people. Kamu says whichever of Chuk or Haley stays becomes next week's target.

Kamu tells Drew he went from wanting a large alliance to focusing on individual relationships instead. He'd be fine if Yash, Barrett, Drew, Dee, or Taylor won the next HoH. He encouraged Haley not to count herself out, just in case. If Melody wins HoH, he expects to go up, though he hopes he doesn't. He thinks Haley will win Blockbuster. Drew agrees and says if she doesn't, her eviction is already decided. It would be fascinating to see what Haley would do if she came back into the game after winning the Blockbuster.

Drew says Chuk has talked to him more in the last two days than during the rest of the season. He had never really gotten to know Chuk, who'd mostly just been a number to him. He had heard Chuk had been lying. Kamu asks to whom. Drew says Yash. Kamu heard the same thing. Kamu finishes his cereal and washes his dishes.

1:45 AM BBT: Kamu and Drew move to the Hot Tub Lounge, recapping a conversation with Chuk and Haley in the Have Not room, where they both said they didn't trust Yash. Chuk suspected Yash was lying. He also distrusted Dee and Angela.

Kamu says Haley isn't a liar the way Chuk is. As Drew and Kamu are talking about Chuk, he walks by to use the WC. If Chuk stays, Kamu says, it would actually be easy for him to nominate later since he lies, but if Haley stays, it would be harder, since she never lied to him.

2:00 AM BBT: Kamu says if you want to talk game with him, don't be a mooch; bring something real to the table or go home. He tells Drew that Lala has been sticking up for Angela. He already promised Melody and Mallory they wouldn't be his targets. He doesn't want to nominate either of them, but needs two other names. Drew reminds him that the other HouseGuests will throw each other under the bus to give him ideas.

Kamu says Lala is the one who told him she wants him on the block. Kamu explains he went back to her hours later and told him he wasn't coming after her and was a free agent, pointing out she had other options for nominees. Drew told Lala the same thing.

2:15 AM BBT: Kamu gets called to the DR. Before he goes, he tells Drew it's good that they talked. Since the House doesn't realize the two of them are still aligned, nothing's really changed between them. Drew heads into the Have Not room, puts on his headband, tucks in his mic, and gets into bed with the lights still on.

---

9:30 AM BBT: Good morning. The HouseGuests are in the Main WA and KT. Mallory sits alone on the Hot Tub Lounge couch while several HouseGuests talk at the DT about the Doritos prank on Devens.

Dee is washing her face and Yash leaves for the kitchen. Haley is up and in the restroom - leaves without washing her hands. Feeds switch to Kamu getting out of bed. Angela and Taylor talking at the kitchen island. Melody is making herself breakfast.

9:35 AM BBT: Drew and Barrett are up now. Barrett is brushing his teeth. Drew is in the WC. Kamu comes in with morning greetings. Kamu asks Barrett how he sleeps on the have not bed due to his height. Barrett says he stretches out on 2 of the spaces since there is room due to fewer people in there now.

10:00 AM BBT: All houseguests in the kitchen. Everyone but Haley, Taylor and Mallory sitting at the table making small talk, discussing possible indoor games they could play, including improvised bowling using household items. Mallory in the SR with LaLa asking if she can listen to her music. Mallory leaves to get more coffee and hang out alone in the Hot Tub Lounge.

Haley joins Mallory on the Hot Tub Lounge couch to chat, before heading off to the Main WA.

10:15 AM BBT: Drew and Barrett talk strategy in the SR. Drew tells Barrett he doesn't think the Icons are winning this season, since the House feels they've already had their turn. Barrett agrees. Drew says if he ends up leaving, he'd want Barrett to bring an Icon to the end because it would guarantee a win against them (That guarantees the Icon has a chance to win. -- Fuskie).

Haley and Chuk count potential votes together in the Have Not room.

10:30 AM BBT: Drew tells Mallory, Melody, and Barrett they wouldn't believe what just happened in the WA, describing Haley walking in on him mid-use and reacting with a scream. Mallory laughs, asking if she was sitting down. Melody says Haley's walked in on her twice too. Barrett says Taylor walked in on him.

Mallory asks Barrett if he's kissed a boy. He says obviously, yes. Mallory asks if he thinks Yash has, and who in the House seems least likely to have kissed a boy. The group unanimously answers Kamu.

11:45 AM BBT: In the Gym, Taylor tells Devens that nothing interesting is happening, since there's nothing Haley or Chuk can really do at this point. Devens asks how she's doing. Taylor admits she felt a little sad the day before, since it was the first day of school back home. Taylor might end up as a Have Not again next week. Barrett joins them. Devens hopes Have Nots ends soon since there should be enough beds by then. Barrett says the long afternoons and bright House lights start to wear on him after a while.

Taylor says she is going to sweep and mop to pass time. Devens offers to help. Taylor declines; she wants the chore to take longer to give herself something to do. Devens asks Taylor if she had some wine. She and Melody enjoyed some with LaLa the night before. Barrett was there too, but stuck on slop, and that he and Drew brought slop grinders and a bucket to the wine party. Devens says his hair feels off, looking thinner lately. Taylor asks about the HoH hat he received. He calls it an ugly corduroy piece he'd never normally buy.

Devens trained at the gym for four months before Survivor 50, and swam twice a week, only for the season to include just one short swimming challenge. Taylor asks how he did. He says great. Taylor says that's really all that matters.

Devens, riding a stationary bike, with Barrett stretching and Taylor resting nearby, all complain about how bright the House lighting is. Barrett was in his best shape playing basketball in college. Taylor asks if Devens works out back home. He says not really. Taylor doesn't either. Devens sometimes walks his dogs up mountain trails. Taylor spends her days running around the school. Devens plays pickup basketball with friends.

Taylor asks if anyone's won Survivor twice. Devens names Sandra (Survivor 7/20), and Tony (Survivor 28/40) who each won a second time. Taylor says an all-winners season sounds fun. Barrett suggests a Big Brother all-winners edition. Taylor guesses that could happen in a future season. Barrett says pulling off a win would be difficult. Taylor says Dr. Will (BB2/7) hasn't done anything notable again (While he has dabbled in Reality TV, he has also maintained a successful professional medical career. -- Fuskie).

Barrett would like to see another BB All Stars season. Devens says Dr. Will is who got him hooked on the show originally (They have similar never-say-die approaches to the game. -- Fuskie). When he was cast, Devens thought it could be a Reality Stars season.

Devens has a beat-up recliner he bought secondhand online that heats and vibrates. Both he and his cats love it, calling it basically catnip for them. He wonders if Rome and Lyric are currently together in Hawaii (According to Lyric, they have been facetiming, he sent her eviction gifts, and there may be a "surprise" announcement soon. But no word about Hawaii. -- Fuskie).

Taylor says Rome wanted production to fly Lyric to Florida first before continuing on to Hawaii. Devens thought she already went back to Hawaii, and that Rome needs to convince her family he's good for her.

12:10 PM BBT: Barrett teaches Devens some hip stretches. Taylor comes to the Gym mainly for a change of scenery. Devens wishes the House had backgammon. Barrett knows how to play but suggests a deck of cards instead. Taylor likes solitaire (Big Brother tends to frown on HouseGuests doing solo activities. -- Fuskie). Barrett wishes production allowed phones during lockdown days. Taylor wants a Nintendo Switch. Devens would settle for an old-school Game Boy with Tetris.

Taylor suggests adding Yash to their alliance. Devens agrees on an alliance with Taylor, Yash, and Kamu. Taylor says Devens clearly loves Drew, but asks if he trusts him. Devens says Drew spends most of his time with other people. He trusts Drew not to nominate him, but won't give him sensitive information. She says Barrett and Drew both look up to Devens in a respectful way, asking if he'd pick Barrett or Drew as his tether partner. Devens calls that a tough call.

Taylor says after Chuk and Haley, the Icons become the next logical targets. Devens doesn't love that idea. She points out the Icons have never been nominated. Devens says that's an interesting point he hadn't considered, asking if anyone else fits that description. Taylor says only Kamu. Devens asks about Yash. Taylor reminds him Yash was nominated week one. Devens says there are two other Icons, suggesting they start with them first if it comes to that. Devens jokes he tried inventing his own powers before the season started, but production told him he couldn't do that. He now understands why nobody else had tried it either.

12:25 PM BBT: Kamu comes in. Devens says the two of them are who he wanted to talk to. He can't even find three people worth nominating, let alone four. It will only get harder from here. Taylor says after Chuk and Haley, there are two more evictions before Jury. The "littles" want to target whoever hasn't been nominated yet, she says. Devens asks if that means Icon-focused. Taylor confirms his fear. Devens says at least they won't be nominating Kamu alongside the rest of them.

Kamu says if he wins HoH again, he doesn't want to nominate Mallory a second time. Devens doubts Mallory could keep a secret from her three closest friends. Devens asks who Melody and Mallory would nominate. Taylor asks who nominated Melody originally. Devens says it was him and Haley. Kamu feels good about Yash joining their group, though feels less confident about Mallory, worried she'd tell her friends. Taylor says they're trying to help Mallory get further in the game regardless. Kamu confirms the alliance now includes Yash, Taylor, Kamu, and Devens, calling it a group of four, and wants to ride it out to the end.

Taylor apologizes to Kamu for not telling him about the earlier vote. Kamu says it's fine, insisting he isn't upset. Devens says Kamu not using his veto earned real trust, that being iced out worked in Kamu's favor in the end. Yash comes in, saying he can't stay long, confirming he's aligned with Kamu, Taylor, and Devens. Devens calls that a good start.

Yash and Chuk play chess. Chuk says big players make big moves. Taylor says Chuk claims he trusts "his people," questioning who that is besides Haley. Yash returns and sits down. Devens jokes about an interrogation. Kamu starts talking and the group laughs.

1:00 PM BBT: Drew works out in the Gym after Barrett made him a slop burger. Devens heads off to shower. Taylor could watch people work out all day. Kamu asks what everyone's up to. Drew says most everyone are relaxing downstairs while Chuk and Haley isolate themselves in the Have Not room. Angela asks Melody if she watches the sitcom 2 Broke Girls, featuring Jennifer Coolidge. Melody loves that show. Angela calls it hilariously true to life.

Haley and Chuk sit in the Have Not room. Haley complains about LaLa complaining about the smell of salmon cooking (At least they don't have a microwave. -- Fuskie). Chuk says Lyric should have had to apologize for throwing out expired salmon, calling it just food that can always be replaced (Tell that to the starving children in China. -- Fuskie). Haley wants to leave the Have Not room and spend time upstairs.

Barrett tells Dee about the feeling the Icons all had their chance already. Dee asks who was leading that meeting. Barrett says LaLa. He was surprised to even be invited and that everyone seemed to even be against Devens.

Devens, Barrett, and Dee sit in the Pod BR. Barrett recounts LaLa warning that if anything discussed in the HoH room got out, there would be consequences. Devens jokes about Chuk thinking he has the votes secured. He says LaLa seems to believe she will remain HoH for the rest of the season (Don't they always? -- Fuskie). Barrett recaps the earlier HoH wine party conversation. Devens notes LaLa's been wearing her HoH robe around constantly. Barrett prefers Haley to stay. Dee agrees. Barrett says Mallory would get rid of Chuk, and that the Crossovers plus Mallory would vote to keep Haley. Barrett shows Dee a hand sign representing his own "FAP" alliance.

1:15 PM BBT: Barrett asks Dee if he can tell Angela what's been discussed. He and Drew feel comfortable talking to her and Devens, but not to Angela. Dee says only certain things should be shared with Angela, and that Taylor's being sneaky. Barrett says Yash plays the middle well, calling him the true middleman of the House (Another word for that is Floater. -- Fuskie). Dee says LaLa told Barrett he needs to pick a side, questioning who LaLa thinks she is to say that. Dee calls Kamu "the new Rome." Barrett says LaLa told Drew what her nomination speech would be, and it didn't happen that way. Dee says something shady happened when Kamu went up to the HoH room.

LaLa comes into the Pod BR, and the game talk stops. Dee says it's cozy in there. LaLa asks if she's planning to sleep there. Dee doesn't know where she will end up next week. Barrett can have his old bed back since the pods are too small for him. Barrett tells Dee about move-in day, since she wasn't there for it, explaining he was part of the second group brought in. Dee asks if they had to run. Barrett already knew which direction to head. Drew comes in, saying he knew too. Barrett describes picking his bed and running around the House.

1:30 PM BBT: Drew didn't even get a bed at first, arriving last after everyone else had already claimed one. His first bed was a Have Not bed. When they first walked out, Jason assumed the season's theme was going to be "girls versus gays." Dee thought the same thing. She didn't realize the other HouseGuests had already met each other when she walked out of the Jurassic jungle. She can't wait to watch that meeting back on television.

Angela walks in and sits down, saying it feels wonderful now that certain people are gone from the House. Barrett tells Drew he told Dee about their night up in the HoH room. Drew told Devens the same thing while showering. Drew says Kamu brought Angela into the Gym conversation because it would make good television. Angela isn't interested in making good TV, she just wants to play the game. Kamu loves showing off his own moves, Drew observes. Drew says they should target Kamu first. Dee agrees. Dee wants LaLa, Taylor, Yash, and Kamu gone, one at a time.

Drew says after LaLa's wine party, Mallory and Melody came downstairs saying they didn't want the Icons out, they wanted Kamu gone instead. Angela jokes about how large their alliance has become. Drew counts seven total if Mallory and Melody are included. As Drew and Barrett recap what was said in the HoH room, Angela rubs her hands together in an exaggerated, villainous gesture. Barrett tells Angela and Dee that LaLa characterized Devens as being in the House just for fun, Dee for the experience, and Angela for redemption.

Barrett says LaLa told them that once Chuk and Haley are gone, the Icons are next. Drew says LaLa insisted nothing said in that room should get back to them, naming Dee and especially Devens. Angela says LaLa's never told her any of this. Angela falls off her chair in the Pod BR, laughing. Barrett tells Drew he already told Dee about their HoH night together. Drew told Devens in the shower. Dee wants to get out LaLa, Taylor, and Kamu in that order. Drew suggests Kamu first, and Dee agrees.

1:45 PM BBT: Barrett has never been to a Buc-ee's. Angela likes their fresh brisket sandwich. Drew says Kamu loves showboating his moves. Drew thinks Kamu knew Angela would be attacked when he brought her to the Gym and wanted to make good TV. Angela wants to play Big Brother, not make good TV. This is eye opening, she says, thanking Drew and Barrett for the info. None of the guys in the Gym stood up for her.

Kamu, Chuk, and Haley are playing chess. Haley says Taylor changed LaLa's plans after Kamu had talked with her. She says she plays for The Red Corner, not anyone else. None of us have been selfish, Chuk insists, it was the Icons. Kamu won't so easily take anyone at their word now. Haley reminds him she was the one flipped on. Kamu says he got flipped on too. He thinks LaLa is all alone. Haley says they should be upset with everyone, like Barrett, who flipped the vote.

2:00 PM BBT: The Pod BR now holds Yash, Melody, Angela, Drew, Dee, and Barrett. Angela guesses the next competition could involve a before-and-after format with stairs, or possibly mini-golf, hoping it's an HoH competition rather than another Veto. Barrett doesn't want another door lineup situation. Drew thinks it could be OTEV.

Dee believes Taylor and Yash have their own alliance. She tells Mallory she was talking with Drew, Barrett, Angela, and Melody about potentially keeping each other safe next week. Mallory's on board. Angela tells Dee that Drew's been telling the truth. Dee says they can go either direction depending on who wins the next HoH, floating doing something with Mallory or Melody. Angela suggests solidifying things with Kamu instead, saying it doesn't matter who.

Angela says if her hair dries naturally it goes wild. Drew wants her to let it air dry. Her dad had an afro before heading off to dry her hair. Dee tells Mallory there are some strange vibes in the House lately, and jokingly tells Angela she'd cause chaos on a strategy-based reality format. Dee asks to smell Angela's hair detangler, mocking its "21 benefits" marketing claim. How could anyone verify that? Angela defends her product. Dee continues mocking the brand's marketing slogan, joking about how much people pay for it.

2:15 PM BBT: Angela dries her hair. Devens tells LaLa he hopes to play Survivor again someday, maybe in seven or eight years, comparing it to an addiction, saying you want to go home while you're playing, but miss it terribly once you're back, guessing Big Brother might be the same way. LaLa wants to start a foundation providing luggage to foster children as they move between homes.

Chuk considered using teeth-whitening strips before coming on the show, worried about a possible allergic reaction, but had heard they work remarkably well.

2:30 PM BBT: Chuk tells Haley he doesn't put ice in his drinks, asking if she knew that. Haley does now.

2:45 PM BBT: Angela tells LaLa everything is cheaper in Utah. She paid only $564,000 for her house. LaLa pays under $5,000 in rent for her four-BR, three-bath home with a garage, calling it a bargain.

LaLa tells Dee she seems tall in personality even though she's a shorter person.

3:00 PM BBT: Drew tells Devens that Yash noted the Icons have already appeared on other shows (That's how they became Icons. -- Fuskie). Drew says LaLa's target order is Haley, then Chuk, then Devens, and that when Mallory brought up Kamu instead, LaLa questioned why. Drew says once they went back downstairs, Melody suggested working with the Icons. He tells Devens that LaLa wants Angela to stay in the House, but not Devens or Dee. He doesn't trust Yash. Mallory and Melody are aligned with their side. Devens says Taylor told him the Icons have never been nominated. Drew confirms Taylor told him the same thing. Drew tells Devens he'd be happy if Kamu went home next week. Devens says they should just focus on winning HoH. Drew agrees.

3:15 PM BBT: Drew climbs into Melody's pod, saying Kamu gets on his nerves a little more each day. He tells Melody she smells good. She asks what she smells like. He just says "you." Drew tells Barrett he's excited they finally get to eat the next day. Yash tells Drew he's inspirational because he hasn't complained about being a Have Not again.

Dee talks with Devens in the Hot Tub Lounge. Dee says Kamu is in a good place with LaLa, and that if they keep his closest ally close too, it will help. Dee crosses her fingers to illustrate how tightly bonded Yash and Kamu are. Dee tells Devens they can go in either direction since their side still needs them for numbers. Devens says Drew told him Yash wants the Icons targeted, while Mallory and Melody love Devens. Devens clarifies he hadn't even brought that up. Dee says it's obvious regardless. Dee tells Devens she thinks Drew, Taylor, and LaLa all want the Icons nominated, saying it's exciting just to be talked about that way. Drew comes in. Devens spots a small ball on Melody's bed. Dee calls it cute. Devens wonders where its matching ball is, calling it a House-wide set.

3:30 PM BBT: In the SR, Barrett tells Melody and Mallory that Dee likes Kamu. Mallory says Kamu named Dee as one of his targets. Melody is surprised. They need to get rid of Kamu.

Dee, Devens, and Drew joke about evicting Barrett. Devens predicts Mallory is going to boo during eviction speeches. Drew jokes they should wear pajamas. Devens doesn't want to. He just plans to sleep in his clothes and wear them the next day. No Doritos on them this time. Dee jokes they could make a commercial about it. Devens loves Doritos now.

4:00 PM BBT: Drew explains to Haley that Lyric burned bridges with the other side, which is why she was voted out. Drew's fine with Haley winning Blockbuster and only hopes she does. Haley'd come back into the game feeling burned either way going into next week. Drew tells Haley that if she stays, she should treat it as a fresh start. Haley asks why the vote turned on her. Drew guesses the House may see her as a ringleader. Haley barely had a say in anything. Drew wonders if it's simply become a women-against-women dynamic. Haley tells Drew her odds of staying are roughly one in three, with the other two nominees splitting the remaining two-thirds, wondering where she lost Dee and Angela's support.

Haley's nervous to talk to Angela, afraid one wrong word could set her off. Drew reassures her she isn't out yet. Haley says the House feels closed off now, worrying that if she upsets Angela again, she won't be able to walk away from it this time. Haley says all she wants is to understand what happened, insisting she stayed back and just wanted the facts. Drew tells her he believes her. Haley says one wrong word to Angela sends her either running out in tears or escalating further. Drew suggests waiting until after Blockbuster if Haley wins. Haley might tell Angela she wants to talk, but only if she ends up staying.

4:15 PM BBT: Haley guesses Angela's eventual goodbye message will involve sobbing and possibly include Dee too. Haley just wanted to understand what happened and tried to stay neutral while gathering facts. Drew tells her she will get to watch it all back eventually. Haley asked Angela what happened, and was told to just trust her gut, that Angela suddenly turned hostile and confrontational. Haley tells Drew he will get to see the footage for himself.

4:30 PM BBT: Taylor tells LaLa that Chuk told Kamu that using the Veto would have been messed up. Chuk got Kamu to curse, which Taylor calls a rare feat. LaLa claps. Taylor calls Chuk an idiot. LaLa isn't even partially foolish, but he's a complete idiot. Taylor calls Haley and Chuk "dumb and dumber." LaLa and Taylor wonder who will show up for Bible study that week. Taylor recalls telling Lyric that even without winning Blockbuster, she'd be fine either way. LaLa agrees, saying Lyric is doing well at home now. LaLa doesn't believe a single thing Haley says.

4:40 PM BBT: Taylor says people who think they're smart are often foolish. She sees that pattern constantly. LaLa calls Haley a big dummy, saying she's praying she doesn't win Blockbuster (May want to see what Bible Study has to say on that kind of prayer. -- Fuskie). Taylor proposes a pact that once Haley leaves, they never bring her up again, saying she wants nothing more to do with her. LaLa mentions Haley offered to be some kind of sponsor for her. Taylor would have loved to compete on The Challenge against Haley. She wanted to be on a competition-reality show like that or Real World before ending up on Big Brother.

5:00 PM BBT: Devens uses an oven mitt as a puppet, doing impressions, claiming to be from Hawaii. Dee wants Nerds Clusters in her next HoH basket. Angela asks if Nerds Rope is even still sold.

Taylor says Yash and Barrett want Angela to stay. LaLa will make sure Angela gets the votes. LaLa knows Taylor wants Devens to stay too. Taylor agrees, framing it as her wanting Devens while LaLa wants Angela. Kamu says his grandma sends cards without money inside while his grandpa always includes cash. Drew asks if he keeps the cards. Kamu throws them away.

5:15 PM BBT: Devens pulls out his oven mitt again, doing more impressions.

Haley sits alone on the upstairs couch. Chuk joins her. Haley talked to Drew, and whoever stays between the nominees becomes next week's target. Chuk agrees. He doesn't think the House is as unified as it seems, though. Haley says Drew has Melody and Barrett. Haley has Kamu, though he didn't use the Veto on her. She's a little bitter about that. She trusts Yash, but counts LaLa, Taylor, Dee, and Angela as against her. Haley plans to tell Angela she loves her but is hurt, and will talk more if she survives the week. Chuk says Angela is the worst thing that's happened to both the game and their personal lives. Chuk says the cast overall isn't especially sharp, noting how young they are compared to typical seasons that include people in their 30s. Haley says they aren't dumb, just playing it safe.

Chuk believes he has Taylor's vote. Haley doubts it, reminding him LaLa is HoH. Chuk calls LaLa a bully. Haley says Angela is a bully too; if she did it to her, she could do it to anyone. Chuk says Angela accused Matt of "crazy eyes" that threatened her, essentially ruining his life in the process. Haley says wanting to nominate someone is just part of the game, not an actual threat. Chuk says Angela called Matt cocky. Haley suggests he may have simply been confident rather than arrogant.

5:30 PM BBT: LaLa goes on at length about how financially comfortable some of the HouseGuests seem to be, citing Angela's Orange County background, Dee's Survivor winnings, Drew's rock-star father, Lyric's family business, Chuk's income, and Mallory's upscale neighborhood (It's Lyric's dad who was the pop star, and Haley is the one who works in the family business. -- Fuskie).

Production reminds the HouseGuests they cannot sleep during the day. Taylor chewed her fingernails down during the first week. LaLa just sits around looking clueless on purpose. Taylor says Mallory grazes on food constantly throughout the day.

5:45 PM BBT: Barrett, alone in the Gym, reviews his alliances to live feeders. Winning HoH wouldn't be bad, he says, floating nominating Kamu, Chuk or Haley, with LaLa and Yash as potential replacements. Barrett says he needs the Crossovers to win the next HoH, outlining a plan to target Kamu and then either Chuk or Haley, since LaLa can't compete. He adds that in a knockout-format competition, he'd eliminate Chuk or Haley, then Taylor and Yash.

6:15 PM BBT: LaLa predicts Mallory is going to be a competitive force. Taylor says Chuk could win the next HoH, predicting he'd go after the Icons. Taylor says Melody has no real say in anything, calling her presence in the House purely a matter of luck. LaLa would have the votes if she sat next to Kamu. Taylor says Kamu is still working to redeem himself. Taylor would rather see Dee or Angela leave before Kamu. LaLa says Angela needs to go once Jury starts, since she'd end up voting for LaLa to win.

Barrett calls Mallory his "brilliant Pipe Queen." He tells the camera he originally planned to use the exercise bike that morning to talk through his game, but he's only getting about three hours of sleep, spending his nights mentally replaying conversations he's had.

Chuk can't be around Devens constantly, calling him exhausting given his seemingly endless social energy. Their senses of humor don't really align.

6:30 PM BBT: Angela looks through the fridge, saying she will make mushrooms despite not liking them herself. LaLa reacts with disbelief that a package of pork chops cost $16. Angela points out it was for the whole pack, not a single chop. LaLa wishes production would just buy them a roast instead. LaLa wonders why people won't just do their own dishes. Angela asks LaLa what to do with leftover cooking oil from the day before. LaLa tells her to just throw it in the trash. Angela sets the oil in a cup next to the bin instead.

7:00 PM BBT: Mallory mentions she was voted Class Clown in high school. LaLa asks Angela how she wants her pork cooked. Angela says as long as it's cooked through, she's fine with it.

7:15 PM BBT: Barrett walks Mallory through what BB25 was like. Barrett and Mallory discuss the season's potential day count, wondering if day 59 could be a double-eviction night, and guessing the season might run 90 days total, with maybe one double eviction and a possible Jury battle-back twist (Not only are the HouseGuests cut off from the outside world, they don't really know for how long the game will run. -- Fuskie).

7:30 PM BBT: Angela plays around with knives while cooking hibachi-style, accidentally sending one flying past LaLa's head into the window. She's horrified she almost hit LaLa. You're not going to hurt me with a butter knife, LaLa jokes. Mallory avoids eating food that's already been prepared, since too many unnecessary ingredients get added. Mallory has Barrett pretend he's sitting on an airplane, telling him to lower his window shade. He plays along, pretending to watch the in-flight news and ordering a Dr. Pepper.

7:45 PM BBT: Devens, Drew, Haley, Melody, and Kamu all come upstairs together. Mallory jokes about the whole group arriving like a train, explaining she and Barrett had just been playing pretend airplane. Mallory's imaginary airline now has three passengers, with Melody, Drew, and Barrett all "boarding."

8:00 PM BBT: Haley and Chuk sit in the Gym. Haley doesn't want to work out or shower given her Have Not status, complaining the House is freezing and they can't go outside. Melody comes into the Gym, sees Chuk and Haley, and starts to leave. Haley tells her to stay. Melody explains she just wanted the room to either cry or crack jokes in private. Haley asks if dinner's over. Melody confirms and leaves.

Haley compares going into Blockbuster to stepping into a softball game, then compares her overall situation to that of a homeless person.

Melody uses the House phone to talk with her mom, saying she could live this way for a year, insisting she doesn't miss her phone or anything else beyond her family, and that she can adapt to pretty much anything unusual.

8:15 PM BBT: Angela peeks into the Gym where Haley and Chuk are sitting. Angela doesn't like the room and won't come back in. Haley can smell food cooking and invites her in. Angela hates the room and leaves.

Haley falls to the floor after Angela leaves the Gym. That was awkward. Haley thinks Angela, Dee, and Kamu will vote to keep her. Taylor comes in to sweep out the Gym. Haley guesses Blockbuster will be physical. Taylor says Blockbusters are never physical, describing her own as involving flashing screens and counting HouseGuests. Haley wonders if it'll be a hand-eye competition instead.

8:30 PM BBT: Haley tells Taylor she bets she could eat off the floor of her apartment. Catching herself, she corrects it to "House." Taylor says nobody else cleans, so she has to. Haley notes dust building up on the Have Not baseboards.

Haley's odds of winning both Blockbuster and the next HoH feel very high. She tells Chuk that if she won HoH, she'd nominate LaLa, Kamu, and Dee, backdooring Angela. Chuk wishes he could see that play out. Haley would tell each of them whatever the House wanted to hear and let the three of them fight it out, including telling Kamu that she expects him to win anyway. Haley asks Chuk who he'd nominate. Chuk says LaLa, since it would bring him satisfaction, along with Melody, ruling out Mallory since he'd expect her to be saved. Chuk says Dee might go up too given how she treated Haley. Haley tells him to target Dee, Devens, and LaLa instead.

8:45 PM BBT: Angela tells Devens she doesn't want to know if he or Dee has a power. Angela tells Devens that if she wins, she'd nominate the "big guys," Yash and Kamu. Dee warns someone's approaching. Devens mentions missing his kids and leaves. Devens tells Angela he feels protected by Taylor. Angela reveals that Taylor told LaLa to nominate him, along with Dee and Angela. Devens looks stunned, asking if LaLa really told her that. Angela confirms it.

Taylor sprays down the Gym, telling Haley and Chuk to get off the couch so she can clean it.

Angela tells Dee they need to stay alert the next night, watching and listening carefully. Angela says Haley and Drew talked for around forty minutes, and they need to figure out what it was about. Haley dislikes downtown St. Louis, calling it unsettling, mentioning getting catcalled there, before the feed switches.

9:00 PM BBT: Dee tells Angela they're outnumbered, predicting Yash will go along with whatever Kamu wants. She says Haley hasn't spoken to her, Angela, or Devens at all, and that the silence itself tells the story. They need to twist that narrative to unsettle LaLa and Taylor.

Mallory becomes a pretend NYC bus driver, with Devens, Melody, and Drew as passengers on an imaginary city tour that comes with food, punishments, and powers built in. Mallory has the passengers introduce themselves while waiting for Barrett. Devens jokes about being 24, saying older people are lame but he respects them anyway. Barrett boards the bus as it's about to leave. Yash joins just in time too.

Dee tells Angela that Mallory wants to nominate Kamu, since Drew and Barrett are afraid of him. Angela says Melody told her Haley was in the wrong and that Angela was treated unfairly. Angela knows Melody wants to talk to her. Dee laughs, saying she loves when people talk about them. The House really should be scared. Angela says Kamu brought her into a conversation to create good television, calling it out of character for him.

9:15 PM BBT: Dee tells Angela that Barrett plays from the heart, and she likes that about him. Kamu made a bet with Devens that he couldn't be in bed by 10 p.m. Angela says Devens' bed still has oil residue from the earlier Dorito prank. He isn't happy about it. Dee admits she told Angela to put the Doritos in his bed in the first place. She got carried away and they were laughing and being so loud that it woke Devens up, who ended up crunching the chips into his sheets. Dee says once Devens got up, he called it and stormed off, giving them a disappointed, fatherly look on his way out.

Dee says no more pranks going forward. Angela might still prank people, just not Devens. Kamu asks if they addressed it with Devens. Dee says Devens was cool about it, claiming he'd already forgotten. Screams come from upstairs. Kamu asks who's currently upstairs playing a pretend taxi game with Mallory? Dee asks what a "taxi" refers to. Kamu explains it's a pretend game. Dee still doesn't understand it. Angela jokes about FOMO, telling her she's welcome to go join in.

Mallory's bus tour "arrives" at a pretend Bronx bank. Barrett asks if he can rob it. Devens, Drew, Yash, and Melody all cheer him on. Barrett steps out to pretend to rob the bank and gets immediately called to the DR, with the group joking that he got caught. There's a lot of hooting and hollering, and screams of laughter.

9:30 PM BBT: Dee joins the bus tour. Mallory charges a pretend $52 fare. Dee offers $29 in pretend cash. Devens pays using Barrett's stolen money. Dee introduces herself in character as an alcoholic. Melody gets called to the DR, forcing her to leave the bus tour early. Dee jokes that the bus should head to a hospital instead. The remaining bus passengers (Devens, Dee, Yash, and Drew) celebrate over pretend shots.

Angela will make homemade biscuits with cold butter if she can remember the recipe, and tells LaLa to bring her things downstairs slowly on Wednesday. LaLa only has one bag. Angela uses that same style of bag as her carry-on for Vegas trips. Angela tells a story about staying in a hotel with her kids, where her son CJ and daughter Lexi shared a bed, and Lexi suddenly sat up singing a pop song.

Haley tells Chuk and Barrett that whoever she's sitting next to if she doesn't survive Blockbuster will get a kiss goodbye. Haley has a brand-new car, so she can drive to Texas.

Angela joins Mallory's bus tour. Dee pretends to throw up while Devens holds her hair back. Devens "falls off" the bus on the way to a pretend Staten Island stop.

LaLa sits quietly by the HoH door, watching Mallory's tour unfold. A pillow fight breaks out on Mallory's bus.

10:00 PM BBT: LaLa tells the pretend passengers to tip Mallory. Angela mimes throwing money at her. Melody plans to leave a glowing review for Mallory's tour. Mallory takes a pretend selfie with the group to send them for posting. LaLa offers to get the bus passengers ice cream. Angela grabs a cookie ice cream sandwich. Melody wanted one too, but they've run out.

10:15 PM BBT: Devens shakes Drew's hand, marking his last night as a Have Not. Drew asks where Barrett is. He's already in bed, Devens says, then wishes "Drewcifer" goodnight.

Angela talks about playing hide and seek with a twist, where hiders keep a glass of water to throw at whoever finds them, saying it could be funny. LaLa's cough is bothering her, but she'll take Advil Cold and Flu instead of Mucinex.

Yash tells Melody there's no other point in life where you'd get to have this kind of fun with total strangers, saying meeting new people is the best part of the experience. Melody agrees. Yash jokes he isn't a "throat coat" type. Mallory, Yash, and Melody clean up the upstairs lounge after Taylor asked for it to be tidied earlier.

10:30 PM BBT: Mallory and Melody sit in the Hot Tub Lounge reviewing recent days, while the Have Nots sleep except for Angela. Drew and Yash are in the WA, with Drew fresh out of the shower. Mallory and Melody whisper about Devens and Dee, discussing who might be a good competitor worth keeping around.

10:45 PM BBT: LaLa and Angela hug goodnight. LaLa jokes she'll be in bed before Angela gets her pajamas on. She tells Drew it's his last cold shower as a Have Not.

Melody tells Mallory she hopes LaLa doesn't tell Kamu or Yash that she'd consider nominating them (Secrets have a hard time staying hidden in the Big Brother House. -- Fuskie). Melody tells Mallory she thinks Taylor could make it very far in the game.

Drew gets ready for bed in the WA, clipping his nails and flossing.

Melody and Mallory whisper, predicting they'll be back on the block soon. Melody tells Mallory she think she could win the Veto, and if matched against Barrett, would have the votes to stay. Melody tells Mallory that if their current seven-person alliance eventually breaks apart, it would likely come down to just the four of them in FAP. Melody tells Mallory she thinks the Icons believe they could beat their group, but that they could take them.

11:00 PM BBT: Mallory heads to the Gym to work out. Melody follows. She remembers Lyric's parting words were a warning not to trust Yash. Drew comes into the Gym. Mallory says it's a nighttime workout session. Melody is on the elliptical and Mallory is doing crunches. Mallory asks if they should align with the Icons, or with LaLa and Yash instead. Drew says the Icons are strong competitors who likely hold powers, so it would be good if they chose not to nominate them. Mallory already told Dee she was on board. Drew notes nobody but Melody seems eager to win HoH.

11:15 PM BBT: Melody says it's a good sign that the Icons want to target Kamu. Drew thinks the FAP could beat the Icons in a competition, but would struggle against Kamu. Melody says they could beat Dee and Angela. She doesn't trust Yash. Drew hates that he's already thinking ahead to Jury. Melody says Taylor seems fully checked into the game. Mallory jokes Taylor doesn't want to go back to a regular job.

Melody tells Drew and Mallory that if the Icons want to bring them to Jury because they think they can beat them there, they should just let them. Mallory asks about the Dice comp (where HouseGuests are inside oversized dice and must roll them to a number that answers a question. -- Fuskie) from Angela's season. Drew never watched that season. Mallory explains it to him. Melody says Kamu could sweep competitions once Jury starts. Mallory says they need to get Kamu out next. Drew brushes his hair throughout the conversation.

Drew says Kamu's been growing closer to Yash lately. Melody says Yash has openly admitted to playing both sides of the House. Drew does his hair in the Gym mirror while Melody and Mallory watch, and they discuss who else might nominate them. Drew says the House views the FAP group as an easy third nominee option. Melody and Mallory agree. Drew calls Mallory the elected leader of FAP. Mallory laughs but agrees to it. Drew wants to compete in Veto competitions. Mallory jokes she could nominate him just so he gets the chance to play.

Mallory says Kamu could still win a power, comparing him to Keanu. Drew says Keanu was an underdog, while Vince was favored to win from early in the season. Drew thinks the next HoH competition will be luck-based. Mallory says their luck hasn't been great. Melody tells her to stop saying that, insisting their luck has been good, since they've both managed to survive this far. Drew says once the BY reopens, they'll hold another rock ceremony for FAP.

11:30 PM BBT: Drew wonders if LaLa won a power, what she'd do with it. He worries she doesn't like him. Mallory says any power LaLa gets would likely just be used to protect herself.

Lights go out in the Open BR.

Melody, Mallory, and Drew continue talking in the WA. Kamu comes in and hugs them all goodnight. Mallory reminds him tomorrow's theme is the airplane game. Kamu'll be there.

11:45 PM BBT: Mallory asks the group to rate Tate McRae. Drew doesn't know who that is. Mallory sent multiple DMs to Jack Hughes, the NHL player (Team USA Gold Medalist. -- Fuskie), telling him she'd had a bad day, though he never responded. She told him he has a nice smile. His real teeth got knocked out and were replaced with fake ones.

Monday, August 10, 2026 — Rocks, Wine, and Wolf Packs

Previously on the BB Live Feeds

12:00 AM BBT: Drew, Barrett, Mallory, and Melody sit in the BY, forming an alliance they nickname "FAP." "Four and Proud," Melody explains. Drew thinks it should stand for something cruder, then offers "Four Average People" instead. Barrett counters with "Four Amazing People."

They joke about how production will phrase it if they win the Veto or decide who to evict. Barrett's passing rocks around, feeling the energy. Drew asks if the group represents America. Mallory claims the East Coast. Drew claims the West and Latino representation. Barrett offers the South, though Chuk would probably represent that region better. Drew jokes that would just make the group cruder again.

Mallory settles on calling themselves Four American People. In elementary school, she created a fake religion called "Mallism," complete with her own Bible, where membership was required to play Webkinz with her. Barrett asks if she's still accepting new members. Mallory calls herself the "Mall-asiah."

Melody says once this week ends, everyone in their alliance will have played in a Blockbuster. Drew wonders if anyone is wary of them because they're so close. Melody guesses Yash might be. Barrett says the Icons hold the real power in the House. Mallory wonders who would target them. She jokes that being nominated felt almost like an honor, comparing it to an Oscar nomination. Drew predicts LaLa will land the next power. Melody says whether she does or not, they need to stay in good standing with her.

12:15 AM BBT: Drew asks who would nominate each of them. Mallory says Chuk and Kamu. Melody says Chuk and Yash. Barrett doesn't know where Yash stands. Drew agrees he can't get a read on him either. Mallory asks if Dee would ever nominate her. Barrett says no, but could tell her who Dee's targets would be. FotH.

Mallory feels scared. Barrett says that's natural, since none of them have won anything yet. Drew predicts the odds, estimating their group makes up roughly a quarter of the House, while winning the next HoH is closer to a one-in-three shot. Mallory wants Kamu gone and she'd put him straight on the block. Mallory beat him in the Veto comp. Both Chuk and Kamu should end up in the next Blockbuster.

Drew wants Haley to stay this week. Barrett asks who Haley would nominate if she survives. They list Angela, Taylor, and LaLa. Mallory says keeping Haley might be the smarter move, arguing Chuk would come after them harder than Haley would. Drew says if it comes down to Chuk versus Haley, keeping Haley would send the House into an uproar.

Barrett, Drew, Melody, and Mallory put their hands together and say a group chant. Drew worries Taylor witnessed it. Melody's nervous. Drew doesn't think Taylor did. Taylor sees everything, Barrett cautions. They disband and head inside.

Drew brushes his teeth while Devens waits for the bathroom. He says the Fappening is happening. Have you Fapped today? Welcome to the Fappening.

12:30 AM BBT: Mallory mentions her toothpaste doesn't contain fluoride, so she has to brush twice (That's not how toothpaste works. -- Fuskie).

12:45 AM BBT: Barrett, Haley, and Chuk sleep in the Have Not room with the lights still on. Chuk is snoring.

Drew and Melody sit in the Hot Tub Lounge. Drew asks who Melody would nominate. She floats Devens, Chuk, Yash, and a Kamu backdoor. Drew calls it a solid plan. Melody wants to know who wanted her out when she was on the block. She names Yash, LaLa, and Taylor, then asks if the Icons were the ones protecting Drew that week. Melody thinks Yash would nominate them, since he already voted her out once. Drew tells Melody he thinks Kamu is leaning toward not using the Veto.

1:00 AM BBT: Drew teases Melody about always crying. He denies ever crying himself. Melody did in her goodbye messages. Drew asks who her favorite guy in the House is. She says Devens. He asks her favorite girl. She says Haley, laughing as she says it. Drew describes Melody's ideal future, marrying someone whose name rhymes with "Mamu," having eight kids, and living permanently in Arizona. Melody says Haley wants eight kids. Drew heard she wants two and plans to adopt ten more. Melody can't fault that, but she'd hate to be the one adopted, quickly clarifying it's just a joke. Drew says Haley isn't a bad person.

1:30 AM BBT: Drew asks Melody how often she drinks. Melody says not as much these days, though she used to drink every night, especially during her stand-up years. Drew asks why she's pulled back. She got burned out, she explains, and the scene itself has changed. Melody describes red wine as a full-mouth flavor, explaining white wine ranges from very sweet to very dry while red sits in the middle. Drew calls that the perfect wine description. Melody clarifies she likes something dry but not overly so. She drinks a lot of red wine and coffee (I hope not at the same time. -- Fuskie), joking her teeth aren't exactly white because of it.

Drew doesn't drink often, maybe once a month, preferring to spend his money elsewhere. Melody says that makes sense. He'll drink freely if it's an open bar though. Melody thinks most of the HouseGuests are fairly similar, guessing most did well in school and gave plenty of PowerPoint presentations. Drew never did PowerPoints, but always enjoyed public speaking in class (Or just talking in general. -- Fuskie).

2:00 AM BBT: Melody says goodnight to Drew and heads to the Pod BR, where the lights are already off. She gets into her pod. Taylor, Yash, and Mallory are already asleep. Drew heads to the Have Not room, where the lights are out and the bed is spinning.

---

8:15 AM BBT: HouseGuests are awake in the BY and KT.

9:45 AM BBT: Haley and Kamu talk near the patio door. Kamu explains why he's hesitant about using the Veto. Haley still doesn't fully understand his reasoning, but tells him she and Chuk have made peace with whatever happens. He tells her he's rooting for her to win Blockbuster and believes she can do it, asking her not to mention it to anyone.

Yash talks with Dee on the patio, predicting an interesting day ahead. Dee asks who he thinks will be most upset. Yash says Haley. Dee tells Yash about their earlier Gym fight, calling it fun to watch. Nobody suspects the two of them are working together. She's been acting like she's upset with him.

10:00 AM BBT: LaLa and Taylor talk in the HoH room about Haley. LaLa says Haley was nice to her this morning. She doesn't have to be warm toward Haley, Taylor tells LaLa, just cordial.

10:15 AM BBT: LaLa confirms to Taylor that Kamu isn't using the Veto, and the two wonder when the ceremony will actually start, noting they've been up since 7 a.m.

10:30 AM BBT: Yash and Mallory talk in the SR about the Icons. They genuinely like them, but feel their run has had its time. Yash would be upset if he left the game before any of them did. They agree to stick together and win the next HoH.

10:45 AM BBT: Angela and Dee start talking as Drew comes in. Dee points at the camera, and says the three of them (the Icons) have never been nominated. The camera zooms in on Dee, who waves while lying down.

In the BY, Kamu tells Chuk he isn't using the Veto. He wants to play a straightforward game. He tells Chuk he's well-liked in the house and doesn't think Haley has the votes to survive. If she wins Blockbuster, Chuk's likability alone might be enough to keep him safe. Drew joins the conversation and asks if he interrupted anything. Kamu says no, that he'd only caught the tail end of it. Kamu tells Drew he isn't using the Veto. Drew calls it a good move, and asks how Haley took the news. Kamu tells him, saying he expected that reaction from her.

11:00 AM BBT: After Chuk goes inside, Kamu tells Drew he was sick of being associated with Haley and Chuk. Between the two, he'd had more real conversations with Chuk. He thinks it'll be a big statement once the house sees he isn't using the Veto (Since nobody expects him to, it won't be as big a statement as he thinks. -- Fuskie).

Drew asks where the Tool Shed stands now. Can they rebuild it? Kamu is completely done with it. He tells Drew he was frustrated with the alliance, feeling iced out during the recent vote. Drew didn't like being left out either. Kamu claims he was the one who originally named the alliance, but it had felt like a lie to him ever since the Lyric-versus-Melody vote. Kamu wants to push for the next HoH to avoid ending up on the block himself. Nobody suspects the two of them are working together, and that whenever their names get mentioned together, it's usually in the context of being nominated.

11:15 AM BBT: Taylor, Kamu, Drew, and Devens hope Jason might perform in drag during the finale (I don't think he will. -- Fuskie).

11:30 AM BBT: Chuk and Haley talk in the Hot Tub Lounge. Barrett joins and asks Chuk to give Haley a sympathy vote if he wins Blockbuster, warning Haley is facing a lot of hostility and is currently the number-one target.

12:10 PM BBT: Talking poolside, Angela wonders to Melody if the spiral staircase that is outside was once used inside the house going up to the HoH room in previous seasons.

Feeds switch to Haley and Barrett in the Hot Tub lounge by the WA. Not a lot of conversation other than complaining about the lights inside are too bright. Haley doesn’t want to go outside because there are too many ants and they “piss her off�.

Barrett talks about this part of the game being hard.

12:18 PM BBT: Kamu takes Barrett to the outer BR and lets him know he will not use the Veto. He doesn’t want to make LaLa nominate another person and is respectful of her wishes. He lets Barrett know that Lala has her target (Haley).

12:30 PM BBT: Taylor, Mallory, and Kamu in KT talking about how awkward it was to film their BB intro films before the show started. They get a reminder they are not allowed to talk about production.

FotH for the Veto Ceremony.

1:30 PM BBT: Feeds return. LaLa, Angela, Devens, Yash, and Mallory sit in the Hot Tub Lounge. LaLa wishes production had given her more chips. Angela asks how much they cost. LaLa says $8 a bag. Angela says that explains why (she didn't get more).

Drew tells Chuk to eat some slop and stay strong. He asks Taylor if the house has a clear preference. She says it does. Drew says he can finally breathe (not a renom). Melody calls it a complete reversal from the week before. Drew says Thursday should feel relaxed with the music playing. Melody agrees, saying they won't have to fight for their lives this time.

Taylor says Chuk believes he has the votes over Barrett. Melody wonders who he thinks would give them to him. Taylor jokes it's just the hat talking (Even confidence is big in Texas. -- Fuskie). Melody says let him believe it. Taylor says Barrett's fine. Drew jokes it would be nice to see Barrett actually win a Blockbuster for once.

Chuk is tired of overthinking everything. The line has been drawn. Barrett understands. Chuk should just relax. Chuk calls the whole situation pure Big Brother, then tells Barrett to go kill it. Barrett says he's going to go for a run. Chuk decides to make some slop and looks for Haley, checking the BY for her.

Dee says she likes when the camera moves around. Kamu jokes it's watching them (Well, yeah. -- Fuskie). Dee calls that creepy (Well, yeah. -- Fuskie).

Drew tells Barrett what a great day it's been, calling it a best-case scenario. Melody asks if Kamu told LaLa about his plans before the Veto Ceremony. Taylor says he did, describing how they leaned into the narrative that Kamu would be the backdoor target so the house would end up picking him for it. This was Kamu's chance to prove he's a good guy, she says.

1:45 PM BBT: Chuk eats some slop. Drew tells him to envision that he's already won Blockbuster. Chuk doesn't like going to extremes. He still can't believe Drew won it. Drew did the "Yash hair flip" as he descended the stairs to signal it to everyone. Chuk asks how long the Blockbuster lasted, guessing five minutes. Drew says it was under two. Chuk asks why it couldn't run two hours instead (Because the show is only an hour long. -- Fuskie). Chuk asks about hitting the buzzer. Drew hit it and waited.

2:00 PM BBT: Haley and Barrett run laps in the Backyard as Kamu watches from a pool floatie.

2:15 PM BBT: Melody's glad she can finally just relax and do nothing this week.

2:30 PM BBT: LaLa ordered a pair of pants online in a size 4, found them too big, then went to a store where a size 0 fit. Melody wears a size 2 herself, noting LaLa's smaller.

Devens tells Yash he's glad the whole ordeal is finally over. Drew can't believe he survived the week with both Lyric and Melody on the block at different points. Barrett says this hasn't been a bad week to be nominated in. Drew says Melody would likely nominate the three people who voted her out: Yash, Kamu, and Chuk. Drew calls Yash fine but flaky.

Barrett asks when Taylor might become a realistic target. Drew calls her one of the smartest players in the House. Barrett might be the smartest. Drew compares her energy to Danielle Reyes (BB3/BB7). Barrett says Haley seems at peace with the idea of going home. Drew says four people need to go before jury: Haley, Chuk, Yash, and Taylor.

Dee tells Devens that Kamu is easy to influence and worth keeping around. They need to get rid of LaLa and Yash instead. Devens says they need to win the next HoH to really lock Kamu in. Dee reminds him his Veto power is only good for three more weeks. Dee had forgotten. He says once they reach week 6, he can use it on anyone. Before then, if he's nominated, he can use his Diamond Power of Veto to save himself. Dee tells him to just nominate whoever's been conspiring against him. Devens spins his finger in the air and smiles. He decides he's going to walk the yard to pass time, taking off his sweatpants to reveal shorts underneath. He declares himself ready. Angela comes into the KT to make cookies.

2:45 PM BBT: Melody says Barrett nearly won the Veto comp this week.

Dee tells Angela that everything the House accused Haley of doing, they're now doing to her.

Haley describes to Kamu RVing through Colorado with her boyfriend of six years, her first serious relationship, dating back to 2015.

Talking to the camera, Drew says he's thankful to not be on the block this week. He tells them to look away while he changes, calling them creepy.

3:00 PM BBT: Kamu says his dad might retire soon after twenty years as an officer. Haley doesn't think her dad will ever retire, since he enjoys handling the books. He was burned financially once, and what the family does for him is really what supports his income. Haley's dad is deep into technology and once sent her an AI-generated video of her boyfriend playing guitar and singing that she found cringeworthy. Haley's dad experiments with AI a lot, to the family's collective embarrassment. Her mom is blonde, 5'4", lean, and voluptuous. Her dad once made an AI version of her look like a Barbie soldier. Haley says her dad recently launched his caffeine supplement. He designs custom iPhone stickers of people, though they never quite resemble the actual person. He's 59.

Drew says his dad is 57. Kamu says his is 55. Haley's biological father has good comedic timing. She lives a "Hannah Montana" kind of double life. Her biological dad kept a flip phone until about five years ago. He's old-school, someone who still prefers an actual newspaper. Kamu asks if she's close with him. He moved to Florida and talks to her every other day, though rarely about anything substantial. Kamu says his dad is part a parent and part his best friend.

3:45 PM BBT: Taylor hand-washes her clothes in the WA sink. Haley announces it's time for a toenail trim. Chuk's nails grow fast. Haley asks his shoe size. Chuk says 10 or 10.5. Dee says his feet look smaller than that.

4:00 PM BBT: Angela tells LaLa she only lied to two people, insisting she never lied to Kamu. Taylor says that was last week; they've moved on to this week. Angela thinks Chuk will come ask for her vote. LaLa asks who Chuk's real people are. Angela used to be one and still likes him. LaLa reminds her it's just a game.

Angela notes Haley has only won one comp despite playing in plenty of physical comps. LaLa calls Haley's HoH win a fluke; it was pure luck. Angela argues it required finesse. LaLa calls Chuk an idiot. Taylor jokes maybe he's under some kind of spell. Angela asks how that's possible. LaLa says whatever anyone tells him just goes over his head. Taylor says Chuk keeps insisting he's a shield and staying relaxed about it. LaLa told Chuk that she cares about him, but that he becomes a different person around Haley, comparing it to something out of The Stepford Wives.

5:15 PM BBT: Melody pretends to talk to her mom on the House phone. She hopes her mom is proud of her and isn't coming across as too harsh in the House.

Barrett pretends to type while staring at an unpowered computer screen. Melody continues her phone call.

Melody's happy she got to share the Adam and Eve punishment with Mallory, saying the whole experience feels like a dream (I think Drew is still dreaming of it. -- Fuskie).

6:00 PM BBT: Mallory shares a new made-up song with Melody and Barrett: "If anyone can't find me, don't panic. I'm probably just on the Hammock."

7:15 PM BBT: Taylor approaches Devens and Kamu about forming a four-person alliance with Yash, with each person individually tethered to an extra person (like a Mini-Cookout. -- Fuskie).

Barrett says he's hungry, and Mallory offers to make him a slop dinner.

Kamu is making the rounds, checking in separately with Devens and Taylor about where everyone stands with a possible Yash/LaLa/Dee grouping, and pressing Taylor specifically on her relationship with Dee. Taylor pitches Kamu and Devens on a "core four" alliance built around the tether twist, aiming to give everyone a safety net that lasts through jury.

Haley, Chuk, and Yash rehash Saturday's blowout again, discussing how Kamu has clearly drifted away from their side. Talk briefly turns to how wild Yash's hair might get by the end of the season.

7:30 PM BBT: Chuk and Haley talk strategy about Angela, agreeing she really only had Chuk as a friend before her blowup, and that most of the house is just being polite to her now rather than actually warm.

7:45 PM BBT: Yash tells LaLa that Chuk's been saying she doesn't really know how to play the game. LaLa laughs it off, saying acting clueless has been part of her strategy all along.

8:15 PM BBT: LaLa vents to Taylor about Chuk, saying he came to her and told her he loves her, and she said it back, but she's frustrated after hearing secondhand what he's been saying about her behind her back.

Sunday, August 9, 2026 — This is supposed to be fun, right?

Previously on the BB Live Feeds

12:00 AM BBT: Drew tells Haley she has the cheese touch (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, implying that she's toxic because she was connected to him -- Fuskie).

Taylor, Melody, and Mallory settle onto the Hot Tub Lounge couch and start talking through the Gym meeting from earlier in the day.

12:15 AM BBT: Kamu joins Mallory and Melody. He walks through the week's timeline - Week 2, Devens blows up the game, nobody lets Rome in. Mallory asks what Kamu was doing in the HoH during all of that. He was asleep. Haley woke him up. Devens laid out the plan, and then they heard a knock at the door. It was Rome.

Kamu jokes that Taylor has had a crush on him since Day 1 and that the punishment Mallory and Melody are serving should have been theirs instead. Mallory says she was in her costume when Melody came in, not realizing what she was in for.

This has been a great season, Kamu continued. Taylor told him that Angela and Haley went at it in the Gym, and it's only week 4. Or is it week 5?

12:30 AM BBT: Kamu gives a play-by-play of Angela's blowup. He says the last time he saw someone that angry, it was a mother snapping at her kid. Every tense of the F-bomb came out of Angela's mouth. LaLa walked in and tried to pull her out, but Angela kept going.

When Haley said "trust your gut," that's when Angela went off. He and Yash were just sitting there watching. Haley didn't engage. Angela left with LaLa and Dee, and Kamu and Yash fell off the couch laughing. Then LaLa called them all to the HoH room, where Angela was crying. They consoled her. Then production called them all to the DR.

Kamu adds that Angela was so loud they could hear her swearing from the Gym all the way up to the HoH room. Melody and Mallory confirm - they heard her from downstairs. Kamu brought Angela into the situation knowing pop off. Melody wishes she'd seen it. Kamu says it was a Level 10 crash-out.

12:45 AM BBT: Kamu, Mallory, Drew, and Melody talk seasons. Kamu says Rachel brought the entertainment in her year. He didn't like last season. Melody didn't watch it. Drew liked BB27 - didn't connect with the personalities but appreciated the power shifts, citing Ava winning as a highlight. Mallory starts to say she liked it too before feeds cut.

Taylor catches up with Kamu. She's glad he's in a better position now and that people are starting to see him clearly. Kamu says everything is where it should be.

1:00 AM BBT: Kamu finishes his fourth bowl of cereal in the KT, rinses the bowl, and loads the dishwasher. Mallory and Melody join Drew in the Hot Tub Lounge. Mallory notes how wrecked the KT is. Melody does the dishes. Drew wonders if taking out the trash is his job. Melody says he's always busy in other rooms. Drew says that means he doesn't eat - he's just in other rooms.

Drew thinks Kamu deliberately brought Angela into the situation knowing she'd explode. Melody says that's the same thing Kamu did at the tea party. She's on Angela's side but won't say anything until after the Veto ceremony. Melody adds that you have to be pushed too far to react that way. Funny TV, she says, but rough on a human level. Mallory's not saying anything either.

Mallory says the Veto ceremony is tomorrow. Drew says number recognition, like the Veto comp, is like playing guitar for him, and thinks he would have done well in it.

Mallory and Melody recap the Wall comp. Mallory says it was scary up there. Big Foot startled her. Melody says it felt dangerously high and she worried she'd fall before it even started.

1:15 AM BBT: Drew asks what if Barrett wins Blockbuster? Who goes? Mallory's fine either way. Drew jokes it would be funny to let Haley stay. But Chuk isn't strong in comps.

Drew tucks the girls in with a blanket to keep them warm. Mallory usually looks better than this - the punishment costume is not her best look. Melody says the whole thing makes her feel like she's back in middle school, where she couldn't win anything and felt fat and ugly. Mallory tells Drew that Melody would have picked him as her partner. Drew would have picked Yash - he's funny and has a skullet. Mallory tells them they love their Drew-boo.

1:30 AM BBT: Mallory and Melody head to bed in their costume. Mallory and Melody are sleeping in separate beds - the vine connecting their punishment costume is just long enough to reach. Drew gets into his Have Not bed. The bed is spinning and Chuk is already snoring. Lights go out in the Pod BR and the Have Not room. Dee changes her mic battery and moves between rooms before heading to the WC.

1:45 AM BBT: Devens and Kamu cross paths in the WA, performing their evening ADLs. They agree that everyone seems to be on the same page. Devens says goodnight. Kamu styles his hair and beard for the DR. The House goes quiet.

---

10:15 AM BBT: Melody, Mallory, LaLa, and Angela are gathered in the KT rehashing yesterday's confrontation. The consensus is that Haley will try to spin the narrative her way. Mallory says Angela was in the right. LaLa can't wait to record her goodbye message. Angela tells LaLa that Haley's HoH was the worst. LaLa doesn't mince words: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them. The first time."

Mallory and Melody leave D and, Angela and Lala continue talking about the blowup between each other.

10:17 AM BBT: Barrett and Dee in the BY Loft. Barrett says he wants to visit each continent but not Antarctica. Dee asks why not Antarctica? He could pet a polar bear (Polar bears don't live in Antarctica -- Buddy).

Yash joins Angela at the DT talking about the Workout Room blowup. Yash tells Angela, as a person who was there, not to worry about it. Angela says "coming from you it means a lot". They grab breakfast with Taylor and all 3 leave KT and join Barrett and Dee in Backyard Loft.

10:50 AM BBT: Barrett, Devens, Drew, Haley in KT discuss slop recipes. After Devens & Barrett leave, Haley asks Drew “Did Barrett say there’s lots of s--- talking up there (Backyard Loft).� Drew replied there’s lot ‘just in general’.

Devens and Haley playing corn hole in the BY.

In the KT, Lala talks about Lala’s vitamin powder while Barrett grinds salt at the DT. Lala says it’s got so many vitamins and is so good for you, but smells SO bad. She laughs.

1:00 PM BBT: Chuk and Kamu talk in the BY. Chuk thinks the numbers can be rallied for him and that his people will show up. Yash told him he has six votes. Kamu tells Chuk not to question his loyalty. Chuk says Kamu proved it at the tea party by not saying any names. Kamu tells Chuk to stay locked in and keep building his relationships for the vote. Haley has to win the Blockbuster - that's the priority. Chuk's grateful Kamu gave him concrete examples to work with. He's glad Kamu and Dee's chip were pulled. Chuk wants a steak dinner the moment Have Nots are over. Kamu tells him to keep his head down and let the rain fall.

Chuk says Lyric was sharp but manageable. She told him that if she won HoH, he could tell her who to put up. He laughs. Who says that? Chuk could trust Kamu and Yash by their loyalty alone. Mallory digs through the fridge looking for hot dogs. Angela hasn't seen any.

Devens recounts his experience on Survivor 38, where he found an idol and turned his game around, and then on Survivor 50, when he was on the bottom, he search and searched and and couldn't fine one. Week after week of almost being voted out left him exhausted and overwhelmed. He didn't want it to end the way it did.

1:15PM BBT: Haley, Barrett, and Devens walk the yard. Devens tells Haley he's sorry that personal stuff has spilled into her game. He doesn't participate in that kind of thing. Barrett echoes it - he won't engage in personal attacks because he doesn't want to be in a position of apologizing for something he said.

Devens mentions he wants to get in the pool but the sun is still over it. Barrett says his GMC Arcadia could seat the whole group if they wanted to go somewhere together after the show. Devens thanks Haley for the conversation and heads inside. Barrett says they're one step closer to saving the world.

In the KT, Angela is making deviled eggs - a process she takes seriously, she says, because they take time and she makes them with love. Barrett's hungry but doesn't want to take over the KT. Haley hopes Mallory made more muffins.

Devens checks in with Angela briefly. She heard she's being called a mean girl and is worried about it. Devens stays out of personal matters and hasn't heard anything. He tells her he's looking forward to the deviled eggs and leaves. Angela declares it a Sunday refresh.

1:30PM BBT: Haley admires the deviled eggs and says they look perfect. Angela says nothing.

2:15PM BBT: Melody and Mallory finish up a bike session in the Gym and head to the BY. Drew and Devens are in the pool on floaties, chatting with HouseGuests relaxing in the shade.

2:30PM BBT: Haley and Chuk are in the WA. Haley thinks the Blockbuster will be physical or a memory comp. She worries Barrett is strong at memory. Chuk's comfortable. Haley's not, and in any other situation she'd just leave, but that's not an option here. Chuk tells her she's doing great. He says they love Barrett, but Chuk has the votes.

Melody wanted to be a dancer or a bartender. Mallory wanted to be a travel reviewer or a weather girl.

Haley tells Chuk that if she leaves, don't let people talk about her when her picture greys. Chuk wants to do a bodybuilding comp after the show and asks if she will come. She will sponsor him and starts offering supplement suggestions. Haley would be miserable in the House without him and doesn't think she could go on the block again. Chuk says the days feel very long. Haley would do another show like Fear Factor. Chuk says now he understands why reality veterans say two months is too long. Thirty days is the sweet spot (The moment these two face adversity, they fold like a cheap suit. -- Fuskie).

2:45PM BBT: Haley asks Chuk who he'd nominate if he won HoH. His eyes go wide and he hesitates. Then: Lyric. Haley reminds him Lyric isn't there anymore. Chuk misses her. Drew walks in, says hi, and uses the WA. She says nobody will talk to her anymore.

LaLa tells the younger HouseGuests to invest in a Roth IRA early (Very sound financial advice. -- Fuskie). Angela takes it further: if you can buy a multi-family home when you're young and claim you're living in it, the lender believes you even if you're not (That doesn't sound very ethical. Or legal. -- Fuskie). She says Utah offers a $10,000 grant to first-time home buyers. She suggests buying investment properties, collecting rent, and letting the renters build your equity while the stock market stays unpredictable. Angela advises the kids in the House to buy up rentals and raise the rent to ensure people can't compete in the housing market (Again, ethics? -- Fuskie).

3:00PM BBT: Haley has made peace with being on the block. Chuk says Lyric was so cheery. Chuk says if he won HoH he'd go after LaLa, Angela, and Mallory.

Angela moves to the Have Not room to chat with Barrett about mac & cheese and brisket.

3:45 PM BBT: Kamu talks with Haley as Devens floats nearby in the pool, while Angela, Taylor, and LaLa talk on the other side. Kamu tells Haley there are still people in the House she can talk to, promising he'll always be willing to talk with her. Haley says she played a selfless game, wanting the alliance to succeed. She feels like she has a stronger relationship with Kamu than with Chuk.

Dee, Yash, and Barrett sit in the KT. Dee says it feels peaceful in there. Yash washes dishes. Dee tells Yash he's a good cook. Yash will cook for Barrett once he's off Have Not restrictions. Barrett says his own cooking is limited, mostly just pasta. LaLa spots Dee and jokes she's still alive. Dee says she'd been working out day.

Haley compares herself to Janelle (BB6/7/14/22), saying she's basically been disliked every season and had to fight the same way. Kamu tells Haley that using the Veto would mean putting someone else at risk as the renom. Isn't she the strongest player on his side, she asks. Kamu says he'll think it over.

4:20 PM BBT: A group picture is taken with Mallory and Melody in the pool (Were they being watered? -- Fuskie).

4:30 PM BBT: Melody, Mallory, and Drew pose for a dog-themed picture.

4:40 PM BBT: Mallory says the "Pipe Queen" nickname is hilarious. Taylor says when Devens won HoH, he called Mallory good and used the nickname himself. Taylor says Devens didn't want the same people repeatedly landing on the block. Drew notes four HouseGuests have never been nominated.

Taylor says there's a specific top-tier fear tied to hearing your name read on eviction night (How would she know? -- Fuskie). Mallory has survived the block twice already. Mallory says she expects to go next time. Taylor likes her. Mallory says the feeling's mutual. Melody says she likes them both. Taylor asks who the fourth person is who's never been nominated, alongside the Icons. Mallory says Kamu. Taylor says that's exactly why they're called Icons.

4:45 PM BBT: Technically, Taylor says, Rachel never landed on the block. Drew says Dee and Devens only ever watched Angela's and Cirie's seasons. Mallory asks if Cirie played Big Brother before Survivor. Drew says no, she played Survivor three times before crossing over to BB. Taylor thought it was more than that. Cirie did well on The Traitors. She had to go on a different show to win, she jokes.

Dee hugs Barrett and says they'll have a sleepover at Angela's place.

5:00 PM BBT: Mallory and Melody's Adam & Eve punishment has ended. Everyone jumps up and cheers. Yash records the moment on the House phone. Chuk says he isn't twelve years old. Haley says she's completely over it.

5:20 PM BBT: Melody says Kamu doesn't really have anyone left in his corner. Mallory says Angela had been lying about the vote. Melody says Kamu isn't a bad person; she likes him more than Haley or Chuk. Mallory calls him dangerous. He just cut ties with his two closest allies and nominated her. Melody says he also tried to vote her out, calling it a full flip on his closest allies. Mallory says she'll never vote for Kamu, calling him too arrogant. She'd choose Chuk over him if it came down to it. Mallory says she doesn't find Kamu attractive at all, joking that might be part of why she doesn't like him.

5:25 PM BBT: Mallory calls Kamu good at the game, but warns she'll be a bitter Jury member.

Dee tells the camera she needs to relax, worrying that repeatedly flipping votes will eventually get them caught. Dee says if Haley stays, real fighting could break out between LaLa, Taylor, and Angela. LaLa and Taylor have been telling Angela not to make peace with Haley. Dee tells the camera she doesn't enjoy watching Haley get frozen out, but doesn't want to talk to her either. That's been true even before this week.

Haley says she refuses to go to the Jury House. Chuk says she will. Haley says Angela described her behavior as self-sabotage. Chuk says he can't be around people like Angela. Haley wonders what Julie Chen Moonves will say to her after her eviction. She might say she finally understands how Matt (BB26) felt.

5:50 PM BBT: Melody, Mallory, and Barrett walk the yard. Melody says Kamu could win the whole game. Barrett says the odds favor him. Mallory suggests targeting Kamu next week, pitting him against Chuk. If she won HoH, she'd nominate both Chuk and Kamu. Melody says they need to build stronger relationships. Barrett doesn't believe Kamu will use the Veto.

6:10 PM BBT: Barrett and Melody walk laps in the Backyard, discussing past seasons' HoH gameplay.

6:15 PM BBT: Kamu and Yash play cornhole against Devens and Drew.

Mallory is swinging on the Hammock and production tells her to stop. She wishes the night-shift crew was working instead.

LaLa, Mallory, Yash, Devens, and Drew in the BY know Angela's spaghetti dinner is ready. Dee is in bed.

6:20 PM BBT: Taylor tells Chuk that Rome used to bring up things that should have made people angry, but somehow didn't. Taylor says his alliance took Rome out. Chuk says he wasn't HoH. Chuk says Rome was jealous of his connection with Lyric. Taylor says he's the reason Rome went home. Chuk laughs. Taylor asks why the House felt so intimidated by Rome. Chuk heard Rome kept bringing up Chuk as a target.

Melody and Angela eat Angela's spaghetti dinner alone at the DT.

Chuk asks who besides Rome was a target. Taylor recalls when Rome refilled the soap dispenser and she asked why he did it that way. He said it was classy. Taylor says if she could bring one evicted Houseguest back, it would be Jason.

LaLa and Dee join the spaghetti dinner. Devens, Yash, Kamu, and Drew wrap up their game and head inside for Angela's spaghetti.

Taylor says Big Brother often runs on a two-guys-and-a-girl dynamic, with the girl treated as an afterthought. She cites Jag and Matt doing it to Bowie Jane (BB25), using a woman to advance themselves further in the game. Taylor calls Brittany the "dumbest" for taking out the other women for the Brigade, only to get taken out by the men (She may be conflating BB12 and BB24 Brittanies. -- Fuskie). Taylor wonders who's going to win. She originally thought Drew, but says he now has to cleanup his game.

6:30 PM BBT: Barrett steps out of the shower. Drew tells him Kamu told him he isn't using the Veto. Barrett says he doesn't want to campaign until after the Veto decision is finalized. Drew is sure Kamu won't use it. Barrett checks himself in the mirror a few times while getting ready to play pool. He doesn't really want to talk to Kamu about the Veto, calling it an awkward conversation.

Devens, Yash, Kamu, LaLa, Dee, and Melody eat Angela's dinner. Angela tells Barrett she'll make him spaghetti next week if he wants it.

Drew and Barrett play pool alone in the Backyard, unable to join the spaghetti dinner as Have Nots.

Taylor brings her spaghetti outside to eat near Drew. Drew mumbles about how much he loves spaghetti. Barrett agrees. He tells Drew that if he stays, he wants to win the next HoH and target whichever of Haley or Chuk remains in the House.

6:50 PM BBT: Angela and Melody talk. Angela has been calling Devens "Rick" despite not knowing him by that name. She asks where the House phone is. Melody thinks Dee is going to be called to the DR to return it. She thinks LaLa has been hogging the phone.

8:00 PM BBT: Yash picks up a cup with his big toe and lifts it to his mouth. He asks Dee if he can touch her knee with her toe. Dee says she'd lick it. He does, she does, and everyone cheers. Dee protests it was "just the tip." Mallory would not lick anyone's toes. Yash asks if that's specific to him or just a general rule. She doesn't like toe-licking in general, though she'd make an exception for her own foot if there were something tasty on it, like peanut butter. HouseGuests list other foods they might be willing to lick off themselves (I don't think there's any food I would eat off my feet. I know where they've been. -- Fuskie).

10:50 PM BBT: Angela says she's a good matchmaker, citing success setting up friends, though not her own kids. Angela teases Melody and Drew that they are a couple, but Melody protests she's 2 years older than him. Dee says that's no excuse. Angela and Dee suggest Mallory and Barrett. Angela thinks it's possible.

LaLa and Taylor sit in the HoH room, complaining about people taking food straight from her cooking pans and leaving the dirty pan behind afterward. They complain about all the HouseGuests' nasty habits and how messy the House has become.

11:15 PM BBT: In the Have Not room, Haley tells Drew she should have nominated LaLa when she had the chance. She should have played a more emotionally driven game. Haley thinks Chuk has a real chance of staying over Barrett.

Taylor and LaLa sit in the HoH room, discussing how messy the House has gotten. LaLa calls it rude and disrespectful. Taylor tells LaLa she avoids talking in the KT and LR because of the HoH monitor.

11:20 PM BBT: Taylor asks what face wash LaLa uses. LaLa says a bar of tea tree oil soap. Taylor is surprised. LaLa asks what Taylor uses. She says CeraVe. LaLa says that isn't good for her skin, and offers to give her a proper bar instead.

Taylor says the moment Haley stepped into the BY, the whole yard's energy dropped. LaLa reacts dismissively. Taylor blames the shift in mood. LaLa calls Melody hilarious. LaLa thinks Barrett is smarter than he appears. Taylor says he isn't showing his cards. LaLa says Barrett won't nominate her. They already know who next week's target will be (Unless Taylor wins HoH, next week's target won't be up to them. -- Fuskie). LaLa says she's a master of sequences and patterns (in the Veto comp), and was completely focused on beating Haley.

11:25 PM BBT: Kamu says Haley is human and that people need to remember that. He doesn't like seeing her isolated. Drew says at least she has Chuk. Yash says it's good the two of them can share the block together. Kamu says Haley seemed more like herself today.

Kamu is heading to bed early. Drew heads out to the BY. Mallory does dishes in the KT.

Angela tells Melody she's not one to judge; who is she to call the kettle black? She normally stays up late.

11:30 PM BBT: Taylor says LaLa looks younger in her HoH photos. Taylor jokes about her ex in one of the pictures. LaLa says her ex was pranking her by sending that photo. Taylor points out her daughter deliberately chose the picture where she's front and center. LaLa says she's been divorced nine years, and that her daughter sent her a photo including her ex. She's done with her daughter's antics, calling her a hot mess. Taylor likes her.

LaLa spots someone in an orange shirt on the spy cam and asks who it is, realizing it's just Kamu's back. They laugh. LaLa says Mallory is planning to nominate the Icons. Taylor says they do need to target the Icons eventually, pointing out LaLa herself has said she needs them around only to help her win the Jury vote.

11:35 PM BBT: Dee and Kamu talk in the SR. Dee says she played pool with Barrett and Drew, and Drew asked her what power she has, making her heart drop. Kamu promises he didn't tell Drew anything. Dee wonders why he'd ask her that. She'll support whatever Kamu needs going forward.

Angela comes in. Kamu says he's not using the Veto because he didn't want any of them going up. Angela leaves. Dee tells Kamu she appreciates him. Kamu says they need each other, adding he already told Devens they're in a good place, and that he needs real competitive threats left in the House.

11:40 PM BBT: Dee says the only four HouseGuests never nominated are the Icons and Kamu, admitting that fact bothered her. Kamu asks if they should be worried about Taylor. Dee has never been nominated, so she doesn't particularly care. Taylor lives only forty minutes from her, and she can't wait to spend real time with her after the show. Kamu asks if Dee would consider forming an alliance with Taylor. Dee says only an alliance of convenience, since she'd still nominate her if she had to.

Kamu says he wants a three-person "wolf pack" made up of himself, Dee, and Devens. Dee says Kamu is easy to talk to, promising to tell him if she ever hears anything concerning about him. Kamu says he won't make an issue out of the eviction vote. He's let it go. Dee tells Kamu he can go ahead and use the Veto if he wants. Kamu says he won't go back on his word to LaLa, since she could have nominated him and chose not to.

11:45 PM BBT: Kamu says he feels closer to Haley than to Chuk, but he's talked with Chuk more over the last couple of days. Kamu says not using the Veto will show the House he isn't close with either of them. He's playing the game one week at a time. He feels in a good place with Devens, needing him in the House, and views the Icons as useful shields. Kamu grows concerned someone might be at the door. Dee asks if it was really LaLa's HoH driving events, checking the door herself, sensing something's off.

Dee would [include] LaLa, Melody, and Taylor, and isn't interested in [an] official alliance, calling Taylor too calculating. She doesn't track dates well. Kamu wants to bring more people into the Wolf Pack (It seems Kamu is thinking past one week after all. -- Fuskie). Dee says she doesn't want large alliances. She doesn't trust Taylor, describing her as someone who quietly watches and gives pointed looks. Dee says her relationship with Haley and Angela is strained because of Taylor's influence. Kamu asks if she's good with Angela. Dee says she's fine with her personally, just not talking game with her. Angela's more aligned with LaLa than Taylor. Kamu says he's seen as a physical threat, and he does try to win everything.

11:55 PM BBT: Haley tells Chuk that Drew told her he's voting to keep Barrett. Chuk says he'd expect nothing less. Haley says their alliance is completely over. Drew's been sad about the whole situation. Chuk says the Tool Shed is finished, but says they'll always have the Red Corner (Yeah, not so much. -- Fuskie).
