“I’m in like the hardest f…… predicament because like all ten of these f……..s are like calling for your …”

Yash spent the middle of Friday taking meetings — five of them, back to back, in a room he’d had for twelve hours — and came out with the same three names he walked in with.

Devens got the vote math and the Dee problem, and said a name out loud that hasn’t been on the feeds before: the Bermuda Triangle, meaning him, Yash and Kamu. Yash called it the strongest thing he has. Then he told Devens what Kamu had passed along — that Dee says she doesn’t fully trust him — and the two of them spent twenty minutes working out whether that’s worth burning a quarter of their own four-person alliance over.

Mallory offered the only alternative anyone put forward all day — put up Kamu — and made the case twice, including why it’s her shot to take and not his. She also planted a doubt about Kamu that Yash conceded on the spot and then shelved. Barrett helped him draft the nomination speech line by line, and put a number on something nobody else has: 39 days in the house, and the two of them had never once talked noms until today.

Then the hard ones. He told Haley to her face she was probably going up, named the other two, and handed her his replacement plan for the veto — more than any HOH needs to give a nominee. Twenty minutes later he told Angela she was “one of the considerations,” and got the best pitch of the day back: not a name, not a target, just a promise never to say his. Both women left the room knowing. Neither knows what the other was told.

And America put Melody in the Time Capsule, where she found a punishment instead of a power.

BB28 Time Capsule tally

The BB Time Capsule is a multi-week America’s Vote twist running Weeks 2 through 7. Each week America votes one houseguest into the capsule, that houseguest plays alone, and they come out with either a power or a punishment. One trip each — once you’ve been in, you’re out of the pool.

Two powers won, three punishments handed out, and one week still to come.

10:36 AM — Devens and Yash (HOH)

Devens was in the room for the bathroom confrontation. He walks Yash through it.

Devens: “And Angela’s just standing there like she’s the mediator.”
Yash: “She was there?”
Devens: “She’s just like the mediator between these two. I’m like, isn’t Angela the one that cursed her out like crazy earlier this week? Why are you involved in this at all? And the way Lala pulled Angela out of that thing — why are you guys getting in each other’s business? Why is this a thing?”

Devens: “But it was so funny, because she’s like, I tried to apologize to you. Well, I don’t accept bullying. Well, I wasn’t a bully. Well, you were a bully. And they both look at Angela, and Angela’s like, well, you did do the thing with the fan and da da da da. And it’s like, whoa. And then Lala was like, well, I guess I’ll go ask everyone in this house if I’m a bully. And I’m like, let me get the hell out of here. They even talked about a house meeting at one point. And I’m like, that would actually be lit.”
Yash: “Dude, I hope we do a house meeting.”

Devens: “So I’m real confused about where Angela’s at with Haley. You were cursing her out three or four days ago, as she told me in great detail, and now you’re — it’s so weird. Dee I don’t think is all that connected to her. Certainly not. I’d be surprised if she went to bat for her in any serious way. Certainly with you as HOH, if that’s what you wanted to do.”

Yash: “That’s all the type of sIit where I’m just like, keep that s*It over there. Even with Lala, I’m cool with her because she didn’t put — like, I could have been in Barrett’s seat, I think. They needed a seat to fill. And she didn’t put me up. I owe it to you that you’re not going to get put up, but I don’t owe it to you to do what you want. I’m going to make sure she knows: we’re good, you’re not going up this week, because I didn’t go up last week. I’m gonna leave it at that.”

Yash describes Lala pulling him aside first thing.

Yash: “This morning I get down there and Lala pulls me. She’s like, hey, can we talk in the bathroom? I’m like, sure, but I don’t really want to have any bone in this fight first thing in the morning. I don’t give a f— what you guys are doing. So part of me is like, if you’re going to be messy, then go deal with the mess. But then also, the options are just so limited, because I don’t want to put up any one of the dudes. Just five of us, and we’re all low-key rocking and rolling.”
Devens: “How many — does that mean there’s seven women? There’s seven women. Oh, man, I didn’t even realize that.”

Devens: “Dude, this is a cool group of dudes. You’re literally in an alliance with every guy.”
Yash: “There’s no out there. But that’s why I do value our relationship a lot, because we’re in the same boat pretty much.”
Devens: “That works so well, because we’re in all these alliances, but there’s so much crossover that it’s not like we could get screwed over. It’s hard to keep track of the names.”
Yash: “I know. I’m just avoiding the names, bro.”

Devens: “When you came in here week two and I was like, you’re not up — and you were like, let’s do this. I was like, hell yes. And I’m a big believer in the Bermuda Triangle. Your thing with Kamu’s legit, right?”
Yash: “I think that’s the strongest one, bro. Of everything. If I could have two people at the end, I would want you two there. Because also, just us three, even on paper — smart people, honest people, competitors. Clearly all of us can win.”
Devens: “Dude, that’s baller. I feel really good about it.”

Yash starts eliminating names.

Yash: “I’m not putting up any of the dudes. I’m not putting up Lala because she didn’t put me up. And I don’t want to put up Mallory either, because I think me and Mallory are cool. I don’t think she’d put me up.”
Devens: “I feel the same thing about Mal. I’m not in a thing with her, but I like the heck out of her. And I don’t think she’d come after me. She’s someone who I would put up if I had to, but not someone who I would want to put up.”
Yash: “And she’s been through the mix the first two weeks too. No need for me to put you in there.”
Devens: “I agree. And I would think Drew and Barrett would appreciate that, because they seem close with her also.”

Yash: “So here’s a thought. If we put up Haley, Angela and Dee, what are your thoughts on that? Because it’s a very easy story to sell. I can say, Dee, you put me up week one. No one’s gonna question it. She would obviously be the pawn — we would want her coming back out of that. Angela: I don’t think you trust me because of a lie you were told a few weeks ago. This is purely me getting ahead of it. In reality, I wouldn’t say it, but you’ve been messy, and you’ve been involved in all the drama the last two weeks. I don’t like that near me. Which is the real reason, or half the real reason. And Haley, it’s like, the whole house wants you gone. Not much needs to be said there. The problem I then thought of was, can the two of them beat her in a competition?”
Devens: “No way. Not what I’ve seen so far.”

Devens: “That’s tricky. That’d be rough for the Wolf Pack. And I would be nervous that if Dee ended up at the end, people would be like, Dee’s a much bigger threat than Haley, let’s get rid of Dee. If it’s Dee and Angela, it’s like, get rid of Dee.”
Yash: “Personally I’m like, damn, that’s two of the three icons.”
Devens: “We’re open season on the icons. But that’s going to happen at some point. If it’s not happening to me this week, that s*it I got to deal with, that’s not a big deal. I thought it would happen earlier anyway.”
Yash: “When people do talk about you all, it is always you separate. When people say they want the icons out, there’s always — many times unspoken, but many times spoken — like me, Drew, Bear. There’s very much, like, but not Devens. We’re cool if Devens rides the s*it with us.”
Devens: “Appreciate that.”

Yash: “Not that I’m scared of blowback, but Angela, Dee, Haley — that’s a big move with no blowback. Which is kind of a perfect thing to do.”
Devens: “Yeah, but again, not good for the Wolf Pack. Not ideal at all. I don’t think Dee would want to go up there as a pawn. But your only other choice is what, Melody?”
Yash: “That’s what I’m saying. Melody I know cannot win a competition, so that’s really ass. And I think if I put Melody up now, it creates a new enemy — it cements that I clearly have some sort of, I’m going after her. Because I voted for her, then I picked her first during that competition, and then I put her up. I think she would be like, f— this guy. Which could be valid, because I don’t want them in the game. And luckily she’s not a very good competitor at all. So it’s almost worth keeping her, because she’s going to be easy to get rid of.”

Yash: “I just get nervous with Drew — her pulling Drew away from me.”
Devens: “Oh yeah, and that’s what we talked about. With Drew, I believe Drew’s riding with us. But if it came down to that four versus our four, I don’t know. And especially Melody — when he thought she was going, he was waterworked. I’m not sure he’d be crying over us.”
Yash: “After he stayed, he was like, yo bro, just so you know, I would pick you guys over Melody. He randomly said it to me. And I was like, cool, good to know. We ended up having a good conversation about it. But that means the thought is in their head.”
Devens: “100%. It has to be in their head a little bit.”

They count votes.

Yash: “I think Kamu and Drew are voting with us no matter what. I spoke to them two last night. They came up. I’m not telling the masses that I’ve spoken to them, but they came up. So them two would vote with us. What do we need, five? So if you three vote together, we would just need two other people to vote for Angela.”
Devens: “And you know Lala — no, sorry, I’m getting confused. Lala probably wouldn’t.”
Yash: “Lala probably wouldn’t, but Mallory, Melody, Barrett probably would. And I think Mallory, if I tell her, hey, we don’t have anything, but we’ve kind of been riding with each other since we got nominated week one — I would appreciate it if you voted Angela out.”
Devens: “They’d probably vote however you wanted them to, especially if Drew and them were in on it.”

Devens: “Is there any part of you that would backdoor, or does that just guarantee too much blood on your hands?”
Yash: “I was thinking that, but I think that would just be too bloody, because then I would put up Melody. And the way I could package it to Haley is, yo, I’m cool with you, I know you’re cool with me. This is purely because if I don’t put you up, I’m crossing 10 people who want to see you up. I’m giving you two chances. And then at least maybe she’ll be disappointed, but maybe it doesn’t make her gun for me.”

Devens: “How’d your conversation with Dee go? Did you bring it up at all?”
Yash: “I didn’t want to fully ask her everything. I don’t actually know where she stands with Angela and Haley. I think they have some weird communication s*it going on on that side, and for some reason I think Dee’s involved in that messiness of whatever the f— they’re all telling each other. That’s why part of me is hesitant. I don’t really want to tell her too much.”
Devens: “Especially because I do think if she goes up as a pawn, she’s not going to be happy about it.”

Yash: “There’s also a chance that me putting them three up together could be a rallying thing. But Dee told me she would put up Haley and Drew. I said, if you were in my shoes, what would you do? She said Haley and Drew. Not a third person. I told her Drew came up here for a little bit with Kamu, but I said Drew left. Me, Drew and Kamu were shooting the s*it the whole time. And we all kind of agreed, keep the dudes. We’re rocking, we’re rolling, we all have fun. We’re literally the Bad Boys. Like, unspoken.”

Devens: “Of the girls, I probably roll with Taylor, and then Mallory and Dee the most. So I probably would have gone Haley, Lala and Mallory. But I know you’re not a Lala, so Angela for you. And you’re still strong with the primaries. You still got the Bermuda Triangle in there.”

Then Yash tells him what Kamu passed along.

Yash: “Kamu told me that she told him that she doesn’t fully trust me.”
Devens: “Which I think is weird. I knew coming into the Wolf Pack that was a concern, just because she had put you up. But I thought that that had faded.”
Yash: “Like recently.”
Devens: “Oh, she told him that like very recently?”
Yash: “And I’m like, that’s crazy. Because I’ve done nothing to—”
Devens: “I thought once we were — that’s what I’m saying. I thought we were good.”
Yash: “So I was like, that’s a weird thing to tell him. Especially when all four of us are rocking and rolling.”

Devens: “So this is either a chance to squash that, and she’ll trust you for good because you showed it, or to just cut that loose and not worry about it. And you can go either way on that.”
Yash: “As we kind of know about how this game goes, as the days go on, people get more and more shaky. And even if that’s what that was, I think even saying something like that means the seed is there. And, like, f— that. Because I felt good about this, and I had every reason to. But now she was involved in the mess of the vote. She has a weird thing with Angela and Haley, who the f— knows. And then she told Kamu she doesn’t fully trust me, which is random. And I don’t think Kamu would lie. We know him. I don’t think he would lie.”
Devens: “That would not be a strategic one.”

Yash: “So if I was looking at it on a blackboard — this is the short list, this is the characteristics that have happened — I’d be like, go up. But obviously that’s tough, because I would still be down to make it work, because I do actually believe in the four of us.”
Devens: “That’s tough, man. But you wouldn’t want her gone.”
Yash: “Mm-mm.”
Devens: “I’d be more threatened by her coming back than Melody coming back. With Melody you have insulation, because you’ve got Drew, Barrett and Mallory who are all happy with you. She knows she’s not going home. Whereas Dee will feel more vulnerable.”

Yash: “This is the other side of that argument. If Dee comes back, I don’t think she would flip anyone against me. I feel great with you. I feel great with Kamu. I feel great with Barry. I think those are probably her closest people. But if Melody came back, I think there’s potential for her to flip Drew, Mallory and Barrett on me.”
Devens: “I don’t think they would flip on you for Melody. But I get what you’re saying.”
Yash: “If we’re looking at the two of them, the surrounding players — I feel better with the surrounding players around Dee.”

Yash: “Has Dee ever said anything to you? About me?”
Devens: “Before we were the Wolf Pack, I know there was hesitance, because she had put you up and she didn’t know where you were at — even though she was like, he handled it real cool. But as the Wolf Pack, I thought we were pretty good. I think she knows you’re closer to Kamu and I, but not really. I feel like she felt pretty good in that. But again, I totally believe Kamu when he says that. He definitely wouldn’t make that up. Like, even this — we were celebrating last night that you won. We were like, hell yeah.”
Yash: “That’s what I’m saying. That’s so surprising.”
Devens: “She was freaking psyched about it.”

Devens: “I think that all — I’m super happy to check in again later. But I don’t know that I have anything else to offer for now, and I know you got a line of people.”
Yash: “I’ll keep you in the loop with sh*t as well.”
Devens: “I got you either way. Now it’s getting dicey, bro. There’s no easy decision. Love you, dude. Congrats, bro.”

11:01 AM — Mallory and Yash (HOH)

Yash: “It’s crazy, bruh. Doing this part is the crazy part. Just having these conversations and s7hit. You’re chilling, though. Don’t worry.”
Mallory: “I know you have a lot of thinking and deciding to do. So I don’t know if you want to talk anything out, or if you want to keep it a surprise.”
Yash: “No, I’m not going to do that. The way I want to go about it is, let me ask people what they think, what they know. If they want to talk about it, they can talk about it. My target radius is that way. If you were in my shoes, who do you think you’d put up?”

Mallory: “It depends who you would want out. If I wanted Haley out, I would probably put up Kamu. Just because I don’t know anyone else that I would be confident would beat her in a competition.”
Yash: “It’s tough. Getting Haley out, it’s so f—ing hard, because someone needs to be able to beat her.”
Mallory: “I feel like the conversation you can have with whoever you do choose, if you’re choosing between Kamu and icons, is — my target is Haley, and I am choosing people that haven’t been on the block yet.”
Yash: “The thing with that is, I don’t know the relationship Angela and Dee have with Haley. They’re just gonna go tell her. Which is the weird part.”

Yash: “Have you heard anything worth knowing, anything people have been saying that might help?”
Mallory: “I know today Lala tried to apologize to Haley and she wasn’t having it. That’s all I know.”
Yash: “Do you talk to Angela at all?”
Mallory: “Sometimes. Not too much about actual game. I more talk to her about advice about Big Brother and stuff that’s going to happen after the show.”
Yash: “Because I have no idea where her head’s at. At all. And Haley — if you put her next to Angela, Haley’s going to win every time. The options are so limited.”

Yash: “Do you think if I didn’t put her up, people would be upset? Taylor and Lala probably would.”
Mallory: “I don’t think other people would be angry at you. It’s your HOH. I do think, though, that’s an easy person to put up, because let’s say she does come off the block — she has so many other enemies. But I don’t think people would be mad at you. I mean, maybe Lala.”
Yash: “And that’s expected. I owe it to Lala to not put Lala up, and I’ll hold true to that. I don’t necessarily owe it to her to see through her master plan.”

Yash: “If I were to put up any combo of the three icons with Haley, Haley wins by a lot. I don’t think any of them could beat her in any type of competition. Well, maybe some puzzle.”
Mallory: “I think Devens is a pretty good competitor. I think he’s keeping it low. But he beat Jason in that puzzle veto.”
Yash: “That’s true. I’m not nervous about the veto, because between the people who can get picked, I think I could beat Haley in any competition if it came down to it. It’s the Blockbuster. And I don’t want to put someone else up who can beat Haley — Haley wins, and then that someone else goes home. I don’t want Kamu to go home, because last week he kind of proved he was loyal to us. Him not using the veto told us everything. Why would he not use it to take down Chuk or Haley?”

Mallory: “Part of what that told me is, Chuk obviously picked Kamu because he thought Kamu was his ally, and he wasn’t. That makes me not trust Kamu — because what if I think he’s my ally and he’s not?”
Yash: “That’s a good point. That’s something to keep in mind going forward. For the time being, I feel like he’s good. But you are right. I did think that too. I was like, hmm, if you’re willing to do that — in three weeks, who knows what you’re willing to do.”

They come back to the Blockbuster.

Yash: “It throws a wrench in it. You have to nominate three people.”
Mallory: “And two of them are definitely going to stay. Maybe three of them will stay.”
Yash: “Haley didn’t put me up, which makes me not want to put her up, kind of. But if people would get upset — I’m not sticking my neck out for Haley. People want her out, go.”
Mallory: “I don’t think people would be upset with you for not putting her up, but I also think she’s an easy nom.”

Yash: “Do you know what Barrett’s relationship is like with Dee and Angela? That actually confuses me. I haven’t asked him yet.”
Mallory: “I think they’re friends. I think he’s friends with Dee, but I don’t think they talk a lot of game. When I tried to ask him where their heads were at, when I was on the block, he didn’t really know. So I don’t think they’re super close allies. I was trying to ask, do you know if they’re going to vote to keep me, between me and Lala — and he didn’t really know.”
Yash: “Do you trust that fully? Because that vote was known. You were going home if you didn’t win the Blockbuster.”
Mallory: “I do trust it, because I think they were telling him they were going to vote to keep me, but I think he knew they weren’t.”
Yash: “I don’t say that to put distrust there, because I love Barrett. If they go up, I don’t want Barrett to get upset. That’s my guy.”

Yash turns to the keep-Haley push.

Yash: “I know for a fact me, you and Taylor are not going to be the ones to start the should-we-keep-Haley. I know Melody’s not going to be the one to do that. And I think Drew’s been good taking a backseat the last two weeks. So I was like, where did that come from? Who did you hear it from for the first time?”
Mallory: “I forget who was there. A couple people were talking, and I think it was Devens who said it, but I might be wrong. They were like, what have you been hearing about voting? So it didn’t seem like anyone was trying to push one way or another. They were just trying to make sure we were on the same page. And I was like, I literally haven’t heard anything. And then more and more people started coming.”
Yash: “I joined that conversation when it was the five of y’all. I was like, sh7it, this seems like a convo I need to be in.”
Mallory: “That’s why I didn’t want to walk away — I wanted to know what the consensus was going to be.”

Yash: “It was definitely good we had that convo, and we all were on the same side of, we’re not going to die on this hill. But I was like, why is this coming up 30 minutes before the vote? Because we had three days to talk about it.”
Mallory: “And no one said a peep.”
Yash: “But now 30 minutes before, keep Haley? And I know three of us are not f—ing saying keep Haley. It makes me think — it’s just weird, because Dee came in here and told me she’d put up Haley. But then why was Dee voting to keep Haley?”
Mallory: “I think people just didn’t like the way Lala was treating her.”
Yash: “I was thinking maybe they’re using that as an excuse to cover the fact that they actually might be working together.”
Mallory: “Maybe, but from the vibe I was getting, people were just mad at Lala. That’s why when Lala kept coming over, it was like, she’s making it worse. They also could be working together. They did work together for a long time.”

Yash: “For five weeks. That’s why part of me just wants to be like, yo, what we’ve been saying for five weeks — other f***k sh** is going on on that side with the same few people. F—ing put them up and call it a day. But the problem is Haley is a good competitor. I know if I put her up, she’s going to come off. And I don’t think if she won it tomorrow she’d put me up. But if I put her up and she won next week’s HOH, she might.”
Mallory: “Who do you think she would put up?”
Yash: “Definitely Lala. Depending on that relationship with Dee, maybe Dee, but I don’t f—ing know what’s going on there. Maybe you. She would have a reason to put up Kamu, because Kamu didn’t use the veto.”
Mallory: “But they seem like they’re best friends. They hang out all the time.”
Yash: “I guess that is true. Haley would put up a number that I rock with more than I rock with Haley.”

Mallory comes back to Kamu.

Mallory: “This is a tough thing to do. I think I would be thinking similarly to you if I was HOH — that I think I would put up Kamu. Not because I want him to leave, just because I would trust that he hasn’t been on the block, and I think he could beat Haley. And he’s put me up. That’s my main thing.”
Yash: “I think that’s your shot to take with Kamu. Purely because he put you up. He’s not someone I would want to have coming after me for no reason. You have a reason, where I actually don’t even think he would be like, I’m coming after Mallory now. Based on what I know about him, he’s a stand-up guy. Always has been.”
Mallory: “I feel like I could talk to him and be like, you’re not my target. But he put me up, and I think he would actually be like, respect. Whereas if you did it, I think he would be like, what the f—.”
Yash: “That’s fair. That’s a good point.”
Mallory: “I don’t want him to think I’m coming after him, though, because same thing — I don’t want him coming after me either.”

Yash: “Okay, now let’s think. If I did them three, and all of them stayed the same, Haley wins it, and Angela and Dee are sitting there — do you think we would have the votes to get Angela out? Because I think Angela’s messy.”
Mallory: “I think whatever you wanted, I think you can get the numbers to do. Because I’m willing to vote either way with them, and I think a lot of people are.”
Yash: “You would be one of the people I’d count on. Out of the two of them, Angela and Dee, I’d want Angela gone. I don’t really care which one leaves, but I think Angela’s just the messiest one, bro. Even her 7s7hit with Lala is weird.”
Mallory: “She is a little messy. One of the things I like about Angela, though, is I can’t really see her winning a competition. Which makes her a lot less threatening. But I do agree, out of the two of them, she is the messiest.”

Yash: “She said she was nominated seven times and never won a Blockbuster. I don’t think she could win a Blockbuster.”
Mallory: “I mean, she did win an HOH on her season. She won two.”
Yash: “But one of them was essentially the achy breaky one. The sliding. I don’t know what the other one was.”
Mallory: “She told me it was a head-to-head that we just did. It was like bad AI — you get two pictures and you have to pick which one had an error.”

Mallory: “Are you completely not going to put up Devens?”
Yash: “I don’t want to put up Devens. I know he wouldn’t put me up, because he didn’t put me up week two. I trust Devens. Not with game talk the way we talk. But I trust him with, like — I know we got each other.”
Mallory: “Same. He wouldn’t put me up either. The only reason I say it is because I think he has a chance of winning a Blockbuster. But I wouldn’t want to see him leave either. If I was HOH, I wouldn’t put him up. I think putting up Haley, Dee and Angela is not a bad route. But I do just think that means most likely Haley won’t go home.”

Yash: “And it’s not even worth trying to backdoor Haley, right? Because even if I tried to backdoor Haley, she would still be sitting there against Angela and Dee. I would just get another person upset for no reason.”
Mallory: “Yeah, if you’re not going to put up Kamu or Devens, there’s not really even a reason to try and backdoor. And I get not putting them up.”

Yash: “I don’t even want to f—ing talk to Haley and Angela, because all they do is lie. But we’ll see what I can get out of them.”
Mallory: “That’s the thing. Haley — I do feel bad for her. I feel like she did have a bad week last week. But she told a lot of lies, about me, about everybody.”
Yash: “Also, she was just not nice a lot of times. So, reap what you sow a little bit.”

Mallory: “Well, I’ll let you think. And Barrett’s out there, too.”
Yash: “Tell Barrett come in, like, two minutes. I just want to think.”
Mallory: “If I’m HOH next week, we just keep the ball rolling.”
Yash: “We do. All right, thanks, Mallory.”

11:28 AM — Barrett and Yash (HOH)

Yash: “I didn’t even know Mallory left. I went to pee. She said you were out there. I was like, tell him to wait a little bit. My bad.”
Barrett: “I’ve just been sitting there for a minute. What’s up, man? Good to see you. It’s been a while since this room looked so dapper, I must say.”
Yash: “This room’s looking dapper again. This is the tough part of the game now, thinking about what to do and s7hit. But good f—ing problems ahead.”

Barrett: “Yesterday was a whirlwind, and I didn’t get to be a part of some of the whirlwind, it sounds like, leading up to the vote. So I’d love your side of the story. I feel like I got the cliff notes of it — especially the hot tub conversation, which I walked by at one point and I was like, oh. This is so weird to be out of the loop.”

Yash: “The way I’m thinking is, let me just see what everyone’s thinking, where people’s heads are at, before making a decision. I have a general vicinity where I’m targeting, which you obviously know. If you were to win that s7hit yesterday, who do you think you would put up, or at least target?”
Barrett: “Haley is what would have been top of my mind. Everybody else, though, I would have loved to have gotten input, because I don’t know who is feeling what with the rest of the house. I would have loved to have even a f—ing dapper meeting, just to be like, all right, where do we want to go from here? Because I feel like we’re at a really interesting point in the game. Especially with Lala winning HOH last week — it blew things wide open.”
Yash: “At some point today, I’m down to get the four of us to talk as well.”

Yash: “The thing with her, bro, is that putting her up, it’ll be so hard to get her out. To get her out, she would have to sit next to a competitor. And I almost don’t want to put any of the dudes in harm’s way.”
Barrett: “I feel that.”
Yash: “Like the five of us — I don’t really want to put any of us in harm’s way. And then Mallory, no chance on putting her up.”
Barrett: “F— yeah.”
Yash: “So this doesn’t leave any strong competitors.”
Barrett: “I get you.”

Barrett: “Well, at least with the veto, you could have a good draw. You could have good competitors in there that could maybe keep them the same.”
Yash: “But with the Blockbuster — who? I think Haley would win it.”
Barrett: “Is there anyone you have as a backup option?”
Yash: “I was thinking maybe Angela. Just because Chuk lied to her two, three weeks ago.”

Yash: “During Haley’s HOH, Chuk said to Angela, oh, Yash would put you up if he got HOH — like, out of the blue, randomly. And ever since then I think Angela has had mistrust for me. But I never said that.”
Barrett: “Why did he do that?”
Yash: “I don’t know. So that makes me a little bit wary. It’s like, strike or be struck. I think Angela doesn’t trust me, even though we’ve cleared it up after the whole implosion in the gym. What’s your relationship like with her? Because that’s also something I want to consider.”
Barrett: “I wouldn’t say it’s the strongest in the world at all. Our conversations are typically about her last season and about me being a fan. It’s been hard to get more than that from her.”

Barrett: “It feels like we don’t ever talk about noms. I don’t think once in the 39 days have we been sitting there just like, this is what I would do. Which sucks. Angela’s one of those people I’m like, I don’t know where you’re gonna be tomorrow.”

Yash: “With us it’s fully open, bro. We’ve been that way since like day three, four.”
Barrett: “For real. And I don’t plan on changing that anytime soon.”
Yash: “What’s your relationship like with Dee? Because I feel like you guys are pretty close.”
Barrett: “I have a better relationship with Dee for sure. She’s easy to talk to. We definitely have gotten along really well. She almost put me on the block that first week, so that’s always something I remember. But if you’re comparing Dee and Angela, especially with the icons, I definitely enjoy Dee a lot more.”

Yash: “I heard Dee lies — is that true? Do you have, like — she lies to Angela, she lies to Haley, and then about other people. Not me. She doesn’t say anything about me. But I heard she lies. Do you feel like that’s accurate at all? Because I thought she was just chilling all the time.”
Barrett: “That’s how I felt with her. If she’s been lying to me, there hasn’t been a position where she’s really had to be like, this is what’s gonna happen. I feel like even when Haley was HOH, she was pretty upfront with me about, I think you might be a pawn option. She talked to her beforehand, and I really appreciated that, because it allowed me to have a conversation with Haley and know that going in. If she’s lied to my face, she’s done it very well, I guess. I would love to know if there’s any specific examples from people.”
Yash: “I’m not gonna repeat it, ’cause I don’t want it to get out.”

Yash: “Me and you have always been honest. My whole approach is — all the f777uck sh7it that’s ever happened in this house has been on one side. Just keep our s7hit clean, because we don’t have bullsh7it. You guys have all the bullsh7it, you guys f—ing go up and figure it out. And part of me is thinking that: just putting up three of them. Haley, Angela, Dee. And then figure it out.”
Barrett: “Hey, man, I’ll support you in that endeavor. And the f—ing vote two weeks ago, I know Angela was like, I lied.”
Yash: “And Dee lied too.”
Barrett: “So Dee was the other one. Okay.”
Yash: “Which is why I trust Kamu, because he was telling the truth.”
Barrett: “And Kamu from the start was like, I know Yash voted with me too.”

Yash: “That’s why it’s weird. That’s why I ask about the relationship the three of them have — because Angela and Dee lied to Haley, but now they’re friends again.”

Barrett: “I’m confused. I know Devens and Dee are fairly close. Did he have any insight?”
Yash: “Not really, which was weird, ’cause I thought Devens would have more to say. But he was honest about it. He’s kind of close with Dee. But he didn’t have any insight on her relationship with Haley or Angela. Which I was like, hmm.”
Barrett: “This is a f—ing tough choice. And Dee also put you up that first week.”
Yash: “We’ve been good since. I feel like she might not put me up. But my options are limited. I don’t want to put up any of the guys. Don’t want to put up any of our group — our larger group. So that f—ing doesn’t leave me much.”

Yash: “Do you think if I didn’t put up Haley, there would be blowback from the house?”
Barrett: “I think people would love to know why, I guess. Especially Lala would want to know, I’m sure.”
Yash: “Lala? That’s one where honestly, I know she’ll be mad, but whatever. Because the thing is, if I’m putting up Haley next to Dee and Angela, Haley’s not going to go home, because she’ll have two chances to win. And at that point, is it even worth putting Haley up?”
Barrett: “I guess not. It just depends on if you have another option for who you want up there instead.”
Yash: “You’re pretty much out of options. Who — like Melody? What are your honest thoughts on that? Because I don’t f—ing know.”
Barrett: “I just would have put her up straight up. That’s the only main difference. And then tried to duke it out in the veto and hope for the best in the Blockbuster.”
Yash: “No, it’s not worth putting Melody up.”
Barrett: “No, because I think Haley would make a lot of sense to people. At least you’re not putting up someone of ours that might go. Not worth it.”

Barrett: “I understand your reasoning for everybody, though. And that’s what can make it easy for you with a speech, and especially explaining that to people. When Dee was up here, did you let her know? Or did you kind of keep it?”
Yash: “Not yet. Maybe later today I’ll let the three know, if that’s the route I go. The way I would package it is — Dee, you’re the pawn, but you put me up, so the most logical pawn is you. People can get on board with that.”

Yash: “I mean, they were last week, until an hour before. Which again, I thought was weird, because we had three days to f—ing talk about the different scenarios, and then 30 minutes before, motherf—ers want to say — it’s like we’re getting two weeks in a row. And part of me is like, is that Dee? Because it’s not me, it’s not Taylor, it’s not Mallory, it’s not Kamu, it’s not Melody.”

Yash: “I do think Kamu is with us, our side of the house. I fully think that. I think he’s just a good game player in the same way we both are.”
Barrett: “Exactly, which is just common sense 101. Even if you don’t f— with them, get them to. Kamu’s always been a real one.”
Yash: “If it’s not us five, who would? Us five would never float the idea of keeping Haley. We would never. So who the f— does that leave? I don’t think Drew did either. No chance Drew did, because Drew has been doing a good job at just taking it easy.”
Barrett: “Taking the backseat of it. He rebounded well. And maybe that was part of being in the have-not room. He might have had no choice.”
Yash: “It’s Dee and Devens. And I like to believe Devens is not out there starting it.”

Barrett describes his own version of that night.

Barrett: “It was crazy. It was just me and Chuk and Haley just hanging out, because everyone was doing their thing, and we were like, okay, let’s just go upstairs. And then I came downstairs and was grabbing stuff from my room, and Devens was like, if you win the Blockbuster, just do whatever you want. And I was like, what? What the f— happened?”
Yash: “Devens and Dee were both going to vote to keep Haley. And Devens came from the route where he was like, yeah, I just don’t like the way she was treated. Fair. In that conversation we all agreed, this vote does not affect how we look at each other, because it’s so insignificant who goes home. No one’s gonna die on any hill for this. So we all left that convo with good understanding.”

Yash: “But now looking at it — Dee just sat there and told me she wants Haley out. But she sat there in the hot tub and said she wants to vote to keep Haley. How the f— does that make any sense? That’s just the type of sh7it where I’m like, inconsistent, nominated. Because what are you doing? With no one on our side have I felt that. I did a little with Drew, and my sentiment was the same: oh, Drew, you’re being wishy-washy and you’re on the block? Maybe I’ll vote for you then. But he’s back, and now he’s not wishy-washy. So problem solved. But wishy-washy is just not a good tendency to have.”
Barrett: “I think Drew had picked a side. It just seemed like he was having a lot of fun going in between. And then it was just so obvious to everybody else. It was just like, dude, chill.”
Yash: “But he brought it back. And I fully trust him.”

Barrett: “When I talk to Drew and he talks about you and Devens specifically, it’s just like, I know that’s who he f—ing rides with. He gets so excited. Dude, I don’t want any of the four of us going anywhere.”
Yash: “Me either, man.”
Barrett: “And I appreciate you thinking about all of us too. I know your options are so f—ing limited. It’s tough, bro. And it is a house of seven girls and five guys.”

Haley is waiting outside.

Yash: “I really got to think about the strategy here. Got her waiting out there, bro. I don’t even know what I want to talk to her about.”
Barrett: “I don’t know what she is feeling. Because full stop — yesterday in the storage room, she talked to me after you won HOH, and she was just like, I think he’s going to put up Lala. And I was just like… I didn’t know where that came from.”
Yash: “Tell me you have zero pulse on the game without telling me you have zero pulse on the game. I think it does just have to be them three, doesn’t it?”
Barrett: “Honestly, yeah. I think you found a good balance of everything. And the thing is, you have reasons — and that is not something I think every HOH has been able to say. That’s something you need as an HOH, for when there’s something out of left field and people are like, what are you doing. I don’t think anyone would even come close to being like that with you, and everyone already loves you anyway.”

They work on the speech.

Yash: “How would you package it in terms of the reasons? For Angela?”
Barrett: “Well, you feel like you don’t have a close game relationship. I feel like that’s a good reason.”
Yash: “Chuk lied to you, caused mistrust, we don’t have a close relationship. This is purely a game move.”
Barrett: “I think she would understand, and I could give you something to talk about with her. I think that would be very cordial. I also don’t even know — do you think she would even be shocked that you’re considering her?”
Yash: “No. But she would act like it.”

Barrett: “With Dee, it’s like, you put me on the block first week. I don’t know if you need to mention any of the—”
Yash: “I’m not. I think I’m just gonna say, you put me up first week, you haven’t been on the block yet. And then with Haley — it’s tough to even word the Haley one. Should I just say, I feel like there’s been a lot of whirlwind the last few weeks, and I feel like you’ve been involved in a lot of it? She’s been getting a lot of sympathy lately. So I want to tread lightly, because I don’t want to make it seem like I’m piling on.”
Barrett: “No, and I don’t think you will. You’d be like, this is nothing personal, this is clearly just where we’re going. You can even package it with Angela and Haley specifically — that was a lot last week, y’all had a moment, there was a lot of tension in the house and you two were kind of at the forefront of it. Because the biggest dramatic moment last week was between those two.”
Yash: “That’s probably the safer bet. Angela and Haley, you guys were involved in a lot of whirlwinds over the last week and a half, so I’m putting you guys up for that reason.”
Barrett: “What was the thing Lala was trying to say? Wreak world war. Y’all been trying to wreak world war.”
Yash: “And then Dee, you nominated me week one.”
Barrett: “Consider it even.”

Yash: “Don’t tell anyone I’m thinking that. I mean, at this point it’s pretty f—ing obvious.”
Barrett: “But the less people know, the better. What should I tell them? I’ll just be like, he didn’t give me any names.”
Yash: “Yeah, just hit that classic, bro.”
Barrett: “It seems like he’s thinking about last week, even what all went down, and he’s going from there. I’ll be okay with it. I’m just sorry you’ve still got to talk to — I know, man. After today, it’ll get easier.”
Yash: “The main thing is these conversations. But whatever, I’ll hear what they have to say.”
Barrett: “Let them talk to you. Use it to gain whatever you can.”

Barrett: “Love you, bro. Good luck with everything. And if you need to talk about anything, you know where to find me. I live here with you.”
Yash: “You can send whoever’s next on in.”
Barrett: “I think you know who. Would you like to head in?”
Yash: “I’m going to take a piss real quick, Haley, but you can come in.”

11:52 AM — Haley and Yash (HOH)

Haley comes up. She has found the HOH basket.

Haley: “Teddy Grahams, man.”
Yash: “What’s up, yo? Now I feel how you felt two weeks ago. This s7hit is tough.”
Haley: “It’s exhausting.”
Yash: “How are you, though? I heard about that s7it this morning.”

Haley: “All I said was, I’m just not cool with the bullying. And I never threw anyone’s name out. Everyone had to personally basically apologize just for how I was treated. And the people that told me some of the stuff she said, I even told them, if it comes up, I’m not going to say your name. I’ll just sit there. Same way at the tea party that Kamu did. It’s just been a really, really rocky road this entire time. Then losing your best friend sucks.”

Yash: “I thought about that yesterday when I won. The fact Chuk isn’t here to see the room and s7hit. That’s f—ing crazy. I thought about it last night and I was like, damn, bro. I hope he watched the live stream and was like, damn, y’all shot the f—ing HOH.”
Haley: “It sucks. Something in me was like, he’s not going home. It’s fine.”

Someone comes to the door.

Yash: “Who goes there? If you wait out there, I’ll call you in after.”
Haley: “You got it, baby. I forgot what I was saying.”
Yash: “About how when Chuk was here, it didn’t feel like you guys were—”
Haley: “I really thought that we would have — in my head, I was like, maybe there’s a way that we both stay.”
Yash: “I was waiting for one of y’all to have the power or some s7hit and just whip it out.”
Haley: “I’m hoping I’m getting it today. Because I’m like, who else would get it?”
Yash: “And someone out there was screaming for you.”

Haley: “But think about it. First week, my name got dragged in with the Rome stuff. I got a teapot around my head. My HOH doesn’t go that way. Then I lose my best friend, which is Angela, in the house. And then I get put on the block. I’m a have-not. And then lose my best friend. Week six started off with a bang with Lala in the bathroom.”
Yash: “I feel like America has all the reason in the world to vote you. So if you’re listening—”
Haley: “If you’re listening.”
Yash: “Vote Haley.”
Haley: “I’m ready to breathe.”

Yash: “So what is your relationship with Angela now?”
Haley: “My biggest thing that I told Chuk was, I know we’re going to be cool. However, what I’m not cool with is — this is a game, but there’s a relationship outside of a game. And anyone that’s so willing to see somebody sit there and get sh7it on for weeks is not somebody I want to be cool with. It hurts, because we had the same conversation again downstairs, and I was like, listen, I’m not asking anyone to stick up for me, but at least be cool. That’s what hurts the worst. I would never let one of my good friends go through the muck like that. The fact that you would come up to me and make sure I was straight, I appreciate that — Drew did that to me, I appreciated that. So she obviously wants to squash it. I told her that I need to see action. And this morning was very clear that she wanted nothing to do with it.”
Yash: “She was there?”
Haley: “Mm-hmm.”
Yash: “Was it in the kitchen?”
Haley: “No, it was in the bathroom. She didn’t stick up for me at all. And then I was showering and she goes, but this is such a long game.”

Yash gets to it.

Yash: “I’m in like the hardest f—ing predicament, because all ten of these f—ers are calling for your head.”
Haley: “There’s no reason, though. That’s the thing. I’ve gotten close to everything, and then I won the Blockbuster.”
Yash: “I think a part of it is because you’re a winner. A lot of these people don’t want to take the shot. I want you in this game. If I don’t consider you for a nom, I risk making 10 people angry.”
Haley: “But you could have such a strong alliance, too. Hey, here are my two — if it’s me and Kamu, these are your strong-ass people. I don’t see anyone taking it down at that point.”
Yash: “I talked to Kamu about it, and I talked to Drew about it, and they both were like, yo, this could be a strong four that we ride with. But they both were also like, we know you’re in a tough spot, because you make the whole house angry by not putting you up. Which is crazy.”

Yash: “I asked about Angela because this is how I see it. I don’t know the intricacies of your guys’ relationship, but I find it convenient that you were HOH, she was up here, you guys were best friends for the first four weeks. The second Lala won HOH, they were best friends. And she not even just left you out to dry, she kind of kicked you out. And then the second Lala’s HOH is over — literally while it’s ending — she’s trying to buddy up with you again, because she knows you’re going to win the Blockbuster.”
Haley: “And I see that. That’s the thing. I will tell you, everyone buddied up to me. Everybody buddied up to me.”
Yash: “And you’re like, where was this sh7it before? I was talking about that with Kamu yesterday, and I was like, do you know if she knows? He was like, I don’t know, talk to her tomorrow. Because I need her to know. I say this with love — don’t be a dummy. Those two girls lied to you. And even if they came clean, they lied to you. Obviously there’s probably some benefit for you to have a relationship.”

Haley: “No one has a specific reason to be mad at me, and that’s the thing. If I would have made her a have-not last night, yeah, you have a reason. But it’s because I’m winning. I had told Kamu, why would you risk losing your best friend, ally, competitor, to risk that? And then we talked about it and I’m like, okay, I get it. Everyone also wanted me to put Lala up when I was HOH, and I said I don’t want to make that emotional move. I didn’t get any heat for it. If I can protect your game 1,000%, we already talked about it, I’m going to do it. It would suck. But it is what it is.”

Yash: “That’s why I’m being upfront about every side of how I’m feeling. Because I don’t want you thinking in any type of way that it’s out of nowhere. I don’t want you wondering why I’m doing it. And I’m happy that you can talk to Kamu. But I’m not even set on it. And then, what’s your relationship like with Dee?”
Haley: “None.”
Yash: “Okay.”
Haley: “But she still lies. And after the blow-up this morning — I mean, I was calm. I was like, listen, I’m not doing the bullying. The way you treated me, I’m not doing it. Yes, thanks for the apology, but I’m not playing the game. So I feel like I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t. From my standpoint I literally don’t trust anybody besides obviously you and Kamu, and then Drew was the one that came up.”

Yash: “The two of them lying pisses me off. This is what I said on that Thursday, when we didn’t know who the two were — the only reason people would lie to be on the wrong side of that vote would be to go against you and stay on your good side. The two of them doing that to me is disgusting. Doing that is like nasty work, especially to you, who was the HOH, who did them right. That’s wrong.”
Haley: “And I gave everyone the leeway to talk. I was like, I want to do what’s best for everybody else too.”
Yash: “Which is why I’m glad you know. I think those two ain’t it.”
Haley: “And Lala ain’t it.”
Yash: “They ain’t it.”

Yash: “I talked to Kamu. And I told him up front, I was like, dude, when I spoke to Haley, I was honest about my thoughts about you. You’ve given me no reason not to trust you, but you not using the veto surprised me. That’s not something I was necessarily a fan of. And we talked about it, and we’re good.”
Haley: “His reasons were good.”
Yash: “They were valid. And with Drew, I kind of do feel good about him. Ever since you put him in his place — I checked him a little bit. He’s received it well. I think this week will tell a lot, too, because he was a have-not last week, so he might have had no choice but to be chill. But this week I want to see how he acts. Because I don’t trust him the way I trust you and Kamu. But having a fourth who trusts us three is great.”

Haley: “So are you leaning towards putting me up?”
Yash: “I feel like I might put you, Dee and Angela up. And the way I package it — this is what I’m thinking. I still want to have more conversations. I don’t actually know yet.”
Haley: “And you’re not considering Lala.”
Yash: “Dude, if she didn’t put me up, if she wasn’t HOH last week, I would put her up. I owe it to her to not put her up. I don’t owe it to her — and that’s what I’m about to tell her — I don’t owe it to you to do what you want. I’m not about to fight your battles. She could very easily have put me in Barrett’s shoes and she didn’t. That’s fair. She told me she was considering it, that Thursday or Friday. She was like, you, Barrett, Drew are three of the names that might go up. And I was like, okay, s7hit.”

Haley: “I’m cool with it, because I was willing to not use the veto on myself to make sure you didn’t get backdoored. That’s how straight up I was. But if I win the veto — are you expecting me to keep noms the same? Because now you’re still in the same predicament.”
Yash: “Honestly, I think if you were to use it, I’d put up Barrett. Barrett stays. One of the liars goes. Because I think if you sit there, you go. We don’t want that. If you win it, take yourself off, we put up Barrett, Barrett stays. And then Barrett and Dee, Barrett and Angela — the other one goes, I think no matter what.”

Haley: “Again, I’m cool with it. Like I told Kamu yesterday, if it’s me and Chuk, just send me home. Because at this point I’m just so exhausted.”
Yash: “Bro, you got more fight in you.”
Haley: “It’s just the bullying that I’m so done with. And I truly think if you put me up, Lala’s going to get worse. I’m not asking you to tell her to chill, but I know that if I’m up there and her face isn’t, it’s going to be like, I wasn’t the bully. That’s the only backlash I’m seeing. I’m cool with going on the block. I just don’t have the energy to fight that.”
Yash: “I understand that too, because I probably would put her ass up if she didn’t just spare me last week.”
Haley: “But she also put your best friend up. And her whole plan was to backdoor Kamu, which is also your other good guy.”

Haley: “I’m good to battle it out. I just want to be on the same page with the veto, because obviously I was taking a risk last week — if I win and I’m not using it. But you’d have to think about who you would use it on. You rock with everybody.”
Yash: “Yesterday, Drew and Kamu both said good things about you. We are all very much down to run it.”
Haley: “It’s just another week where it’s like, Haley, you have to win it. It kind of puts me in a position where everyone just keeps putting me in this spot of, you have to win it, and then we’ll be good. So in my head I’m like, that sucks. Because I have not had one good week.”
Yash: “It is a s7hit spot.”

Haley: “I would be silly to go in the DR and be like, I’m surprised. And the thing about me is, I never want anyone to feel sorry for me. I told Kamu, if you use that veto on me, I feel like that’s a pity thing. Because I have been so in the dump. But it makes the most sense in a way. How many times do I have to put myself in that standpoint? And I honestly don’t think I would have changed the game the other way. I think I’ve handled it very well.”
Yash: “And look, you’re here. Also, those people that were kissing your ass after — use it to your benefit.”

Yash: “Thank you for being understanding of it, too. I do really appreciate that. This part is ass.”
Haley: “I also think the veto would be fun on Saturday.”
Yash: “It could be OTEV, bro. It could be OTEV. Definitely feel free to talk to Kamu if you want as well.”
Haley: “Out of the other two, I do feel pretty confident. But again, this is a game where it could go either or.”
Yash: “Worst case, let’s say someone wins and doesn’t use it — you kick their ass in the Blockbuster, if it even came down to it.”
Haley: “The only thing that’s upsetting me is how I’m being treated. I’m cool with the game. Bring it in, yo. Thanks for the heads up.”

Yash: “And now I gotta go do this bulls7hit combo. Wish me luck.”
Haley: “Well, you got both going back to back.”
Yash: “Love you, dude.” Then, to the hallway: “Lala, do you care if Angela goes first? Okay, cool.”

12:11 PM — Angela and Yash (HOH)

Yash: “This sh7it is tough, though, man. I heard there was, like, motion this morning too.”
Angela: “I’ve been dealing with it now for six weeks. They didn’t like each other before, even this week. Just know that. I’ve been doing this, and it’s hard, because I care about both of them.”
Yash: “That’s kind of what I wanted to ask you as well. What are you feeling about the two of them?”

Angela: “She’s like me. We’re in our 50s. We’re here playing a game with people that could be our children. Imagine your mom here.”
Yash: “That’s how I look at you guys.”
Angela: “Imagine your mom here trying to do all this. Stay up with the hours. Have the eating schedules. Be a have-not. Do these games. We’re here because we love it and we want to be a part of it. And not too many women our age can do this.”
Yash: “No, they can’t. What you guys are doing is so special.”
Angela: “So there’s a huge admiration for her to do what she did, and she won that f—ing wall. Amazing. Lala has my heart, period. I don’t want to hurt her. And I want her here. Even if that meant that I would have to go so she could be here. It’s no secret how I feel about her.”

Yash: “And I feel like it’s tough with Haley too. You guys are good friends. I know the care is there.”
Angela: “The care’s definitely there. We are friends. I see both their sides, but also the word bully is very, very strong. And it’s hurting Lala right now really bad, which is hurting me. That bully — I looked up that definition when I left here. What Lala did is not bullying. Now, I’m going to explain that to Haley. Period. Because it’s not. It’s a big word and it’s something she’s worried about, perception outside this house. I dealt with that when I left here. Bullying, the definition is you constantly are taunting somebody, calling them out and calling them names, poking them a lot. That’s not what Lala did. Lala was upset and hurt because she doesn’t want me to get hurt from Haley again. Lala was trying to protect me.”
Yash: “I’ve heard both sides, and it’s tough, because how Haley feels — someone’s feelings are still true. But at the same time, I feel like what Lala was doing was not. Two things can be true at once.”

Angela apologizes for crying.

Angela: “Sorry for crying, by the way.”
Yash: “No, you’re good. Feel comfortable and free.”
Angela: “I do wear my heart on my sleeve, as you know. It is your HOH. Feel free to do whatever you need to do. I totally saw you look at me last night when you said you were going to have to do some hard things. I haven’t touched the block yet. I get it. A part of me was so excited and happy that you won last night. We had a conversation, and I told you I would never put you up. And you told me you would never put me up. I’m hoping that that still stands true right now. I don’t know where your head is. You can ask any person in this house — I’ve never once said, even after hearing weird things from Chuk, that I would put you up. You would never be on my radar, Yash.”

Yash: “Truth be told, you are one of the considerations, for some of those reasons — you haven’t been on the block yet. A part of me does get nervous about the Chuk lie. But I do take your word for it that you wouldn’t.”
Angela: “I was in there and I even said to you in front of everyone. I took that with a grain of f—ing salt. I didn’t bring it to you because I don’t care and I didn’t believe it. I look at you and I feel like we have something. You didn’t have HOH, and I’m the one that’s always looking you in the eyes and telling you I got you. And you’ve told me you’ve had me. So I’m hoping that still holds true. I don’t want to ever put your name out there. I will never talk badly about you, no matter what you do.”

Yash: “This is not me saying you’re going up, because truthfully, the decision is not made yet. I am weighing a few different options for who will be nominated. But the one thing is, I don’t like chaos, and there’s just been so much amongst four or five people.”
Angela: “I’m truly not involved in what’s going on between them. I’m in the middle of just hearing both sides and caring about each woman.”
Yash: “I think you got wrapped in it. It wasn’t your wrapping.”
Angela: “As far as my fight with Haley goes, it was more of her — for what I did the first week with going with what the house wanted to do. Lying to her and lying to Kamu. Because I went to you. The trust was there. We had a talk that night, and I told you, without lying to you, I can’t talk about it. Because I don’t want to lie to you.”
Yash: “I do remember.”

Angela: “In this game, if you have somebody that doesn’t lie to you, Yash — that’s more power and value for you. From me. And I want to give that to Kamu as well. That’s more precious than gold in this game. You can’t even put a dollar sign on that. How many people are going to come up here and just give you this name, that name, and this is who I’d want to see up there, or this is causing stress in the house? How many are going to literally look you in the face and say, I’m never going to consider to put you up? I’m going to be there for you. I’m not going to tell you lies. I’m going to be your eyes and ears. That’s who I felt I’ve been this far. Gosh, you’re very well liked in the house. Everyone likes you. This couldn’t be better for you. I give you that with my whole honest heart.”

Angela: “And just coming from a standpoint of, I’ve been here before. Did I do well? No. I was a polarizing personality.”
Yash: “No, you did do great.”
Angela: “Hey, I did 73 days. But there’s a reason why people played three vetoes on me. Because I was honest. Because I did have good relationships. Who else in here is going to get three vetoes played on them? Very few people. But I was one of those in my season.”
Yash: “It’s because you were real.”
Angela: “And loyal. I was dispensable towards the end. But I got it. And if we get to the end together, which would be great — I would love to say that we talked week one and I told you I had your back and you told me you had mine. And I want to believe that.”

Yash: “In that moment, I meant it. These conversations are hard now, where even having to consider people who you do feel good about is a sh*t feeling.”
Angela: “All I can tell you, Yash, is it’s Big Brother, and people are going to say and do things. But who can honestly look you in the face and say, I will never put you up, I will never say your name? How many people can say that to you? I’m giving that to you. So I hope that that’s my currency with you. I hope that that shows my heart and my love with you.”

Yash: “I love you, Angela. Really. And even having the conversation of me having to consider you — I hope that you don’t think anything of it. I trust you. Because this is just, I got to figure out what the f— I need to do this week. And I told you before, stop giving a f—. You’re a beast. You are the beast, regardless of the whirlwind here. Remember that. Because you just said to me, how many women your age can go in this ring and come out thriving? Not a lot of them. Remember your worth in that sense. And I genuinely mean that, because if I was talking to my mom, I’d say, mom, don’t worry about what X, Y, Z is doing.”
Angela: “People are going to love you because they love me.”
Yash: “My parents are going to love you too. You are special. Remember you are special. Don’t let the chaos get to you. I said it — it must’ve been like day two, when we sat on that hammock — and I meant it. Angela is good people through and through. Love you, Angela.”
Angela: “No more tears for the day.”
