Lala – So Melody came to me and she’s like, you know, you know, you all look good, whatever you need. So like awesome. Jason – fabulous. Rome – She and Drew came to me and were pitching a side alliance of of me, Lyric Drew and Melody and I was like OK definitely sounds good. And then I told her I was like, but we’re still gonna be loyal to our main crew and she’s liked that. Jason – Let me tell you, I created a little alliance with them so they could be our mini alliance and get me information. I’m just gonna keep playing them. A hundred percent. So basically it’s using me to get information, but I give them information that just way our favor. They’re gonna report back to you. Just so you know. Rome – That’s perfect. Jason – We’re called the Court Jesters. Rome – OK.
8:30pm – 9pm Outside the HOH room – Upper Level – Drew, Dee, Barrett and Ashley
Ashley – Okay. So confirm the strategy. Lala, Jason, where you go to the whole trio of melody, Mallory Lyric, and then say, basically, hey, guys like I get you’re gonna keep your allegiance to Taylor, like I totally respect that. But if it does come down to Yash, I want you guys to know, like, yes, I’m hearing things on the other side of the house, like they are going to get against Taylor and.. Drew – play the girl card. We’re girls. We should stick together. Ashley – Yeah. Drew – we don’t want boys when this game. They’re playing back all the time. They feel so safe. Ashley – so basically, like, I’m just, I’m putting in on that Yash is a part of the others out of the house. …Yeah, guys naming a name would be risky to be like, oh, who are you hearing it from? I do just have to be prepared for that because that is so scary but I do want to create so much paranoia with them, yeah, you’re right. Drew – that is going to be your biggest weapon. Because like they’re already talking about each other but if you confirm it.. and then they’re gonna spiral. Then if you do it tonight, they’re gonna think about while they sleep, and they’re gonna wake up and see how this game is going to be a fucking angry.
Drew – you’re the spoon, it’s time to stir that pot. Ashley – That’s true. Barrett – That’s your power right now. Dee – It’s your life line. GO hard because you don’t want to worst case scenario leave and regret. Ashley – Yeah. Dee – not giving it your all. Ashley – I have a chance against Yash. I just can’t believe the possibility of Yash winning, and I don’t have a chance against Taylor. I can’t believe it could be split. Drew – or you could win it. Dee – You’re not alright. Barrett – You’re not out. Ashley – That’s right. Is there no way I would have it against Taylor? Melody, Mallory, Lyric, Jason, Lala… Drew – So you don’t want Taylor to win at all but it can totally change if you piss everybody off and be like Taylor’s an ally on the other side. Ashley – Yeah. This is good, this is good. Barrett – have fun with it too. Drew – if you just like fuel the drama and make them insecure about other people and be like yeah they said they’re gunning for you. Ashley – “Ashley on Top!” Ashley leaves to go have conversations with people. Dee tells Drew and Barrett that if it ends up being a tie between Ashley and Taylor, she can’t vote to keep Ashley.
Bedroom – Angela tells Kamu that she is voting to keep Taylor if its comes down to Ashley and Taylor.
9:20pm Kitchen – Angela, Lala and Taylor
Taylor tells Lala and Angela that Ashley told her that Devens and Angela are probably rocking with Yash. And I was like my Angela?! Angela – Nope! I want you to tell me what you hear. You don’t even have to tell me. I’m not mad. Taylor – I’ve been hurting. So she is probably don’t. I don’t think it’s coming from her. Angela – This is silly. Please know always, always come to me. If you guys have a question, I would rather you come to me and let me address it. And if it is more serious than this, I will go and have a conversation with somebody. I’m not going to, but I don’t think it came from her because she, you know, why yell at people because they threatened me to my face. Do you think I’m going to, if somebody came to you and said to you they were going to, they don’t care if they get your blood on their hands and they’re doing this to get in your face. Angela – I don’t know. That makes me sad. I would like to say something, but I won’t. Taylor – No, don’t. Angela – I think it’s just based off the conversations that she’s had with people.
9:45pm Dee, Barrett and Angela
Angela questions Dee and Barrett about how when she was downstairs talking to Ashley she says she saw Drew get up and leave to head down the stairs and then turned around to go back up with them. She questions what Drew told them. Both Dee and Barrett deny Drew ever leaving and tell Angela that Drew was with them the whole time. Angela keeps pushing and thinks Drew told them something. Dee says that she feels like Angela is unintentionally gas lighting her. They wonder if she is talking about someone else. Angela then confirms “droopy eyes” is Drew. Angela starts to backtrack and wonders if maybe she didn’t see what she thought she saw. They both tell Angela that Drew never left and that Angela has nothing to worry about with Drew. Barrett – I talk with Drew all the time and would notice if Drew was acting suspicious. (Angela’s paranoia is reaching peak levels – who’s going to get the crazy eyes?)
9:50pm They celebrate Lala’s birthday..
10pm Outside the HOH room – Upper Level – Mallory and Dee
Dee – just wanna like express something to you. Because I know that we’ve been, you know, the energy has been off and it’s not even to talk game. It’s just to like tell you that I’ve had multiple people come up to me and tell me that you hate me, which listen to me II don’t take things personal and I don’t hate you and I think you’re amazing. I was so happy when you won the veto comp to put on someone else because you deserved it. And I just wanted to tell you that if next week you went and you want to put me up, I respect the game
you know what I mean? Mallory – I don’t hate you at all. Dee – or maybe people are just telling me that to cause a riff. I don’t know, ’cause you know how this game is and whatever, but I just wanted to make sure that I let you know that. Mallory – I have not said that literally at all. The only thing I think I could have said is that if I HOH I would put you on the block, but I don’t even think I would do that anymore. Like I’m being 100 percent honest. That just was my first instinct but I never said I hate you or anything.
Chess Table – Angela and Chuk
Angela – Going into next week because HOH on Thursday. If any of them get it, I already know I’m going up from their side. There’s no doubt in me and probably a couple strong guys that would be told they’re pawns to get me out. Make no mistake about it. Make no mistake about it. I’m telling you now, Rome barely says too much to me. He’ll come, oh, joke around. Come up to me. We’ve never even had a conversation. Rome and I never, ever I promise you that. And I’m good with that. Isn’t it crazy outside. Angela – Hey, can you please talk to Dee about getting her room tonight and getting something solidified tonight with people before going into this next HOH.
10:50pm HOH room – Dee and Kamu
Dee and Kamu toy with the idea of bring Ashley in to their group and giving her a home.
Kamu calls Ashley the “BB16 Victoria” of the season. I think we keep Ash. I think we bring Ash on board. Dee – yes! Kamu – I think we take out Yash. Dee – OK. I think that’s actually good for you. Kamu – yes, he could be Rome’s right hand guy. Dee – He is. Kamu – Yeah. He says right handed. His left hand his right foot, his left foot. His literally everything. So I think we take out his right. Dee – I think no. Kamu – And then and if Rome, I’m sorry, not Rome. If Yash wins, we take out Taylor and here’s why I like, I don’t know. I don’t know if Taylor’s all about Rome, but I know that Taylor’s all about Lala. So if my association is all about Rome and Taylor’s all about Lala, then Taylor is with Rome. We have to cut their numbers down. Dee – hundred percent. I genuinely think we can get Ashley. Kamu – I think she is desperate. I think right now, I think she thinks she is going home. Dee – yeah. yeah. They agree that Dee will talk with Ashley to pull her into their group.
11:25pm Backyard Hammock – Rick and Kamu
Kamu asks Rick to approach Barrett about voting out Yash or Taylor if to keep Ashley if it comes down to that so that they can pull her into their group as another number. He tells Rick that he has a better relationship with Barrett so it would be better coming from him. Rick agrees to and says that he’s sharing a bed with Barrett tonight so it would be a good pillow talk conversation.
11:40pm Backyard – Lyric and Mallory
Mallory – Do you think you’re going to get fat living here? Lyric – no, I’ve lost so much weight since being in here. Mallory – that was one of my concerns, that I was going to get fat just because snacking on unhealth food and stuff. Lyric – I’m just telling you, be careful what you tell people. There’s a lot of snakes in here. Mallory – do you think I’ve done anything bad? Lyric – no, just keep your cards close. There’s some sh*t going on and I know that people aren’t being truthful. Mallory – like who do you think. Lyric – Just everyone. Just really hold your card close because we’ll see as people get nominated, it will become more clear. Try not to tell people too much. Mallory – I feel like I don’t even have any cards.
12am Dinner time .. late dinner..
2am Getting ready for bed..
3:38am Bedroom – Lyric and Rome
Rome – I’m just so obsessed with you. Lyric – I’m obsessed with you more.
Vote out Yash. His haircut is annoying. Can’t figure it out.
Same. So is his face. He looks like the malnourished version of “pots and pans” Josh
That felt like a mildly racist comment ngl
Taylor and Ashley look like ghetto mentally ill hookers.
Vote out Taylor. Her voice is annoying . Can’t figure it out.
Ashely and Taylor are literally useless they should be the first to go.
I’m all for good mullets and fawhawks and the like, but his fading is genuinely terrible. You need more length up top if you’re gonna have that kind of mullet, and it simply looks wierd on him.
Dee and Barrett is kind of wholesome and adorable.
And from watching the feeds a little while ago, Dee and Barrett managed to defuse and reassure some of Angela’s paranoia about Drew, and Angela admitted it’s because she is tired. It is something to watch out for though as I think Angela could blow up in the future if she is not constantly reassured and managed by Dee.
Drew Flips on Jason: The Devens Backdoor Plan That Blew Up in Week 1
If you’ve been following the feeds, one of the biggest trust shifts of Week 1 came out of Jason’s early push to take out Rick Devens — and how fast it got back to the very people he needed in the dark.
It started on Sunday, when Jason floated his anti-vet plan to Melody and Drew, framing Devens as “America’s Favorite Dad” and arguing the newbies would stay buried as long as the returning stars were pulling all the screen time and fan-favorite goodwill. Jason had already been building this campaign for days — you can see the groundwork in his scheming with Yash in Jason “I will put that blood on my hands. I’ll take the hit!” and his anti-vet framing in the “Mama’s Angels” gym talk over in Rome “I don’t think anyone wants to side with them because they’re weird, snaky and gross!”.
The problem for Jason: Drew is loyal to the vets’ core group. On Monday, Drew took what Jason said straight to Dee, then to Angela and Devens, with Barrett looped in too. Instead of landing a backdoor, Jason handed the Crossovers side a reason to tighten up — and handed Drew a loyalty credential with Dee and Devens.
You can watch the fallout play out in real time on the feeds. Angela’s paranoia and her read on Jason are all over Angela “I feel like Jason’s being toxic toward me. It’s uncalled for. I’m grossed out.”, where she and Barrett are already flagging Jason as a problem. And by the next day, in Barrett: “She should be scared that all of y’all… that’s how this shit is f*ng played.”, Angela is openly testing whether Drew was pitting her or giving real intel about “a Jason situation” — with Devens vouching that Drew’s info is legit.
Bottom line: Jason’s Devens plan never got off the ground, but it did the opposite of what he wanted — it solidified Drew inside the vets’ alliance and put a target on Jason’s own back before he ever held any power.
Missed this last night
7pm-ish Tuesday, Dee let Angela and Barrett in on something she’d been sitting on, her own side alliance with Haley, Chuk, Kamu, and Devens. Her framing to Angela and Barrett: she only agreed to it to pull information out of that group, not because she’s actually loyal to it. Whether that’s the full truth or Dee managing her own core group’s trust, it’s now out in the open with her closest allies.
The evening also saw Angela relay her Haley conversation back to Dee and Barrett, with Haley pushing to meet up later so “we can all talk” — while Barrett continued working numbers with Dee on the Yash-vs-Ashley question, still leaning toward Yash as the target if the votes allow it.
Tuesday Night Into Wednesday: The Vote Locks In
1:00 AM – Drew and Dee (Hammock)
Drew reads the house as split down the middle. Dee agrees Ashley’s earned a spot in their group and floats bringing her in without making it feel like a last resort.
1:50 AM – Angela and Haley
Haley confirms she’s flipped — she’d rather keep Ashley than Taylor now, worried Taylor could turn on her down the line.
2:15 AM – Rome and Lyric
The showmance keeps climbing. The two spend the early morning hours cuddled up together, with Rome telling Lyric she’s all he needs.
2:30–2:42 AM – Kamu, Drew, then Dee, Barrett, Angela (Backyard Balcony)
What starts as a two-person balcony chat between Kamu and Drew grows into a full numbers session once Dee, Barrett, and Angela join. The group lands on a consistent read: Chuk, Haley, Ashley, and Devens as likely votes with them heading into Thursday.
Angela’s ongoing Drew suspicion
This wasn’t a one-time thing overnight — it’s part of a pattern that’s now shown up more than once, with Angela pressing Dee and Barrett on Drew’s movements and loyalty, then needing to be talked back down. Feed watchers have flagged the same up-and-down more than once this week, so this looks like a recurring wrinkle in Angela’s game rather than an isolated moment.
Where it stands: The Kamu/Drew/Dee/Barrett/Angela balcony core is aligned heading into Thursday, with the numbers pointing at Yash if it comes down to a vote. Melody remains the one real question mark nobody in that group has fully pinned down. Rome and Lyric are now full-blown, and Angela’s Drew doubts continue to surface and get walked back — worth watching whether that pattern becomes a bigger liability as the week goes on.
Hey Simon.
There was one oddity that I’m not sure you caught.
The Tie Vote Conundrum
Somewhere after The plan to align Dee’s 2 alliances was endorsed by the Crossovers and Kamu went to Deven’s to convince him to Bring Barrett and Drew into the mix with the object of saving Ashley as a number (Drew and then Dee convinced Kamu it was his idea), Dee tells the Crossovers that She already promised to keep Taylor with her tie vote breaker, so she has to keep her word. So the ‘new’ group is trying to make sure the vote is not a tie. Drew and Ashley are planning to work Melody for her vote with the possiblee bonus that Melody will shift Mallory. Angela has considered seeing if Mallory will change her vote.
The group has also considered pushing a squeezeplay on them after blockbuster to make it look like the house vote has solidified to keep Ashley.
Another Is there something in my craw moment.
I am attempting not to be so tinfoil me.
Some things make that difficult.
In her cam talk Monday night, Dee was speaking about Jason.
She told us to stay tuned there are big plans coming later re Jason’s drag.
See my nervous tick?
How / Why does she know.
Coming up later and something planned implies Jason will be in the house for the limited future.
Okay that has been eating me.
Wait for it…………………….
Drew is super untrustable & star-struck. He needs to go soon.
this why i hate seasons that mix vets and newbies. half the newbies play like this and it allows the vets to easily build numbers and target any newbie who’s capable of independent thought leading to a boring season.
I couldn’t agree with you more. It doesn’t help when two of the veteran players (Dee and Devens) are strategic back-stabbing types, that need little to no help in betraying other players. They both relish in that kind of game play, despite Devens’ proclamation that he would never do anything to stain his reputation of gaming with integrity on his previous Survivor appearances.
Had it not been for his uncanny ability to “find” hidden immunity idols (he found 4 on his original season – I’m thinking he had a little “help” with that), he probably never would have lasted long enough to earn his invite back for Survivor 50, and then BB 28.
i always feel that on survivor the cameramen position themselves so they can get a good angle if the idol is found. someone who’s good at noticing how a cameraman is positioning themselves, which devens’ background in broadcast news could give him, could gain an advantage idol hunting, but i don’t think it’s a more active advantage than that.
I feel Drew is playing a very similar game to Ashley‘s last year who by the way won, for the few here that didn’t watch.
while i am waiting for the latest layer of paint to dry:
Seems Ash pulled Melody and gave her the lowdown. Names. Sides. All in hopes of getting Mel to be the required vote so that Dee can maintain both sides status and not have to break a tie. Come on, you know that is part of the logic since we know she has no problem giving a promise and breaking it (Yash nom).
What effect:
Melody now knows she has been sided. She knows Drew her final 2 told her nada and is on the other side this week. Does she jump ship to work with her target Haley?
Or does she try to middle.
Or does she sound an alarm of some kind.
Oh. She couldn’t get Drew alone so she is telling Rome.
Rome…. who spills everything said to him.
Mess incoming methinks.
