*updated* “And I’m Sitting There Going, Like, Sure. I Want Dee Out”

Dee spent her first full day as HOH taking the house apart one conversation at a time, and almost every one of them circled back to the week Devens’ Diamond Power of Veto turned the game over. It started with the HOH room staking out the Diary Room door Dee spent her first full day as HOH taking the house apart one conversation at a time, and almost every one of them circled back to the week Devens’ Diamond Power of Veto turned the game over. It started with the HOH room staking out the Diary Room door waiting on the Time Capsule, and it ended with Dee telling Melody and Mallory, flat, that she is putting Drew on the block. In between, Drew admitted to her face that when Yash asked whether he wanted her out, he said yes — and then walked into the storage room with the last Time Capsule power of the season in his pocket.

12:05 PM — Angela, Drew, Melody, Barrett, Dee and Mallory (HOH)

Drew: “Yeah, I think he’s probably the dude who will get it.”
Drew: “I bet Yash has been really funny, and also, like, his week got taken away.”
Melody: “But he does have a higher percentage to get the power than we did.”
Angela: “Here he comes with no outfit.”
Production: “Drew, please put your microphone to your shirt.”

Angela: “How long do you think he was in there for? 30? Maybe. No, not that long.”
Mallory: “Wait, should we follow him with the camera to make sure he’s not coming up here? Hurry.”
Melody: “I don’t know. I don’t think 30 is enough time to do all that. But it might be. I don’t even know if it was 30.”
Mallory: “I think 30 is if you get a power.”
Melody: “Yeah, because maybe they don’t tell you about it right away, so that you can just go out there.”
Mallory: “Should we lock the door? I’m, like, nervous.”

Drew: “I don’t know where he is.”
Barrett: “Did you check the hallway outside?”
Mallory: “He might have went outside.”
Barrett: “Bathroom.”
Mallory: “Is he sitting there outside?”
Barrett: “I think so.”
Angela: “That’s the only logical place that he could be.”
Barrett: “Could have gone outside too.”

Melody: “I didn’t get called to the — well, I guess right now would be, like, a time that people would get the power.”
Drew: “It’s completely random.”
Melody: “Well, it’s always — it’s always before nominations.”
Angela: “You got yours at 2 o’clock, I think. Both of you, right? Around 2?”
Mallory: “It probably goes faster, though, because they don’t have to get a costume ready and stuff.”
Angela: “But they’re never going to do it at the same time, probably. Which makes sense. Because mine was more, I felt like, in the evening. Because I feel like I took it off in the evening.”

Angela: “And the only powers I can think that are left over — of course it could have come up new ones — but it’s HOH Takeover.”
Melody: “Yeah, but they wouldn’t be new ones, remember? Because it’s all ones from the past. It’s, like, the whole idea behind it. That’s why it’s a time capsule.”
Drew: “That one or the coup d’état, which is — Barrett knows what it is better than I do, I think.”
Barrett: “That would be an insane one. But they used the Diamond Power of Veto, and that was pretty insane.”

Barrett spots Yash on the HOH spy screen.

Barrett: “There’s Yash.”
Melody: “But it does take a second to do all of it. When you’re sitting in that chair and they’re going over all the instructions, that’s probably at least 10 minutes of being in the chair. But, I mean, I guess they could do it in, like, 20 if he did get that power.”
Angela: “And he’s glitching.”
Mallory: “Stop.”
Angela: “Oh, God.”

Mallory: “Some power stuff — there’s HOH Takeover. There’s, like, extra vetoes. Like, there’s the one where you can exchange 5K for a veto, or, like, compete for a veto. What else? Can you think of any more powers, Barrett?”
Barrett: “I don’t know. I mean, there’s, like, the one McKenzie had, which was just an extra veto, and the one that Kelly had, which was just an extra veto.”
Mallory: “I feel like extra veto’s probably an option.”
Melody: “Is that if they win a veto, or…?”
Barrett: “They just have it.”

Angela: “Does anybody want a cracker? I’m just here. This is my first thing of the day. I was like, okay, I gotta grab something if we’re going up now.”
Melody: “I’m not hungry.”
Mallory: “I feel like it’s bad for us to all be missing for so long.”
Barrett: “I know. We’re not doing anything.”
Angela: “Well, who are we worried about? We’re the majority.”
Angela: “And, like, me and you hang out in the gym, like, a lot. So I don’t think it’s odd.”
Melody: “And also, like, before I went inside, I told Taylor I was going to come find you anyway.”

Angela: “They had no problem being up here with Yash. Or with Kamu. That’s true. Good point.”
Angela: “And just FYI, guys, you’re going to see me with Haley like you always do, but don’t worry.”
Angela: “And I’ll even forgive Lala, I’m sure. But we’ll see how things go, because that’s really mean. Really, really mean.”
Melody: “And they gave her hella sardines.”

Angela: “Sorry not to, like, interrupt you. But, like, I agree. Because there’s personal and then there’s game. And I can have friends. It doesn’t have to be…”
Mallory: “It doesn’t have to be your life.”
Angela: “Come on. Let him out of the DR so we can get the party on the road of who’s going up.”

Melody: “If Yash does end up getting, like, HOH Takeover, and he uses it this week, Dee will have a chance to guess it.”
Mallory: “Not necessarily.”
Melody: “What? If it’s the one from last season.”
Mallory: “If it’s the one from last season, yeah. But if it’s, like, the one from Angela’s season.”
Angela: “I did not get anything.”

12:12 PM — Dee, Devens, Drew, Angela, Melody, Barrett and Mallory (HOH)

Devens comes in.

Devens: “We have some bad news.”
Devens: “I’ve gotten my drinking under control, because they won’t give me alcohol.”
Dee: “I have some. I’d love to share, but I don’t have a bottle opener.”

Dee: “Okay, how’s everybody feeling?”
Mallory: “I feel okay.”
Drew: “You feel excited?”
Dee: “Excited.”
Mallory: “Yeah, for real.”
Dee: “This literally couldn’t have come at a better time.”

Dee: “Okay, but I do want to, like, all of us talk together, because I talked to Yash for a very long time this morning, and he mentioned some names.”
Dee: “So I just want to, like, clear the air and see what the f— was happening, because Mosh Pit was solidified before he was even HOH. So, like, let’s talk.”
Angela: “You mean… it was before? Yeah, it was.”
Dee: “Yeah, Mosh Pit was solidified the night before. I don’t know. When were we all tied?”
Drew: “No, it was definitely before the veto.”
Barrett: “I think it was during his HOH, but before the veto.”

Dee: “Before the veto. The night before the veto meeting. The night before the veto, so the night of. Sunday.”
Mallory: “I think it was after the veto competition, but before the veto ceremony.”
Angela: “So we’re both up on the block. With Haley.”
Dee: “Yes.”
Dee: “So, yeah, I just want to know, like, what happened during that time frame, because Yash mentioned, like, names.”
Melody: “Of course he did.”
Dee: “And I just want to air s— out.”

Melody: “Yash told us that you said — and even if you did say this, I don’t give a f—. I know you’re on the block and you’re people.”
Melody: “But, yeah, I don’t trust anything Yash says. He’s been a yes man at everything.”
Melody: “And he was like, yeah, well, Dee said that she would put up Drew. Dee said that she would put up… me and Mallory.”
Dee: “I didn’t say that. I did say Drew and Haley, because he thinks that me and Drew are cool.”
Melody: “You did say that.”
Dee: “No, I didn’t say you or you.”
Melody: “But, yeah, and I believe you.”

Melody: “Like, and so, of course, I was like, oh, wow, like, interesting, blah, blah, blah, whatever. But, like, no.”
Melody: “He, like, wanted you out.”
Dee: “So Kamu wanted me out, and Yash wanted Angela.”
Melody: “And at first it was Haley, and then all of a sudden…”
Drew: “Kamu convinced Yash that you should go.”
Dee: “Okay. So it was more like Kamu’s doing in that moment.”
Drew: “Yeah, but, like, he convinced him. He was like, yeah, you’re right.”

Dee: “Because you had stayed up that night with Kamu. So, like, what happened in that moment when you came up?”
Drew: “When I was up here with the three of us, it was like, Haley on the block and you two.”
Drew: “And, like, they were saying, yeah, you know, if, like, Dee or any of them wins the veto, like, we’ll just put Barrett up. Because, like, Barrett’s, like, expendable.”
Drew: “And then, like, Yash was like, I’m cool with any three of them leaving. He’s like, if I had to choose, it would be Angela.”
Drew: “And then he was like — but then Kamu was like, dude, no, we have to put our foot down on Dee leaving right now.”
Drew: “And then Yash was like, well, Dee did say she’d put up Drew, so — Drew, like, do you want Dee out?”
Drew: “And I’m sitting there going, like, sure. I want Dee out.”

Melody: “Well, the funniest part about it is that the whole point of the HOH was to get Haley out, and then all of a sudden they switched it.”
Drew: “Because Kamu wanted to run it.”
Drew: “But they initially wanted to put you, you, and then you.”

Drew points at Barrett, Angela and Dee.

Dee: “But did you — when you came up, they already had me, Angela and Haley for noms?”
Drew: “Yeah, that was, like, their idea.”
Dee: “That wasn’t what he told me. He told me that before they had the idea, you came up.”
Dee: “Because when I said your name, it was the next morning. Because I went to bed at 10 p.m., or whenever we saw his HOH.”
Dee: “He said that you came up and you said, let’s take the Icons out.”
Drew: “No, that’s not what I said. I made sure to make sure that he didn’t go up. And then, like, Kamu was set on you being up.”

Dee: “But I didn’t say your name till the next morning.”
Drew: “Dude, I know.”
Dee: “Just so you know.”
Drew: “No, I know.”
Dee: “So that night — like, what happened that night?”
Drew: “Yes, the night before. Kamu was like, it needs to be Angela and it needs to be you.”
Drew: “And then he’s like, the third should be Barrett, because that’s what Lala did last week. He’s like, no one goes home against Barrett — I mean, everyone stays against Barrett.”

Drew: “And I was like, we have to put up Haley. And then he was like — Kamu was like, no, no, no, we can’t put up Haley.”
Drew: “And I was like — that’s genuinely what happened. Straight up.”
Dee: “Barrett, are you okay?”
Barrett: “Oh, yeah, I’m fine with that. No, I think we’ve all had, like, a game of just — especially last week — of being like, we know we want, especially after the move, we want Kamu out, or we want Haley out originally.”
Barrett: “So, wait, okay, with what? What do you mean?”
Dee: “I don’t know, you just seemed off.”
Barrett: “No, this is all pretty much — I feel like I knew most of this, right? Like, I knew Kamu was floating my name last week anyway, up here.”

Dee: “But… why the hell would Kamu even — so stupid.”
Drew: “Dude, and then Kamu told me if he won the wall, like, he was putting up you, you, and Haley.”
Mallory: “Kamu told me if he won the wall, he was gonna put up you, you, and Chuk.”
Drew: “Yeah, it was Chuk, not Haley.”
Dee: “What the hell?”
Drew: “Yeah, he was, like, going to blow it up.”

Drew: “But when I was up here with them, like, it was Haley cannot be on the block. Like, that’s what Kamu was fighting for. Haley cannot be on the block. It has to be you two guys.”
Drew: “And we put Barrett up there because everyone goes home when they sit next to Barrett.”
Drew: “And he’s like, also, I don’t trust Barrett.”
Mallory: “That’s just so crazy that they were, like — Yash and Taylor were trying to say that Kamu wouldn’t team back up with Haley.”
Dee: “Of course.”

Dee: “So what are we thinking for noms? Because also, like, stuff was said in the HOH when Lala was HOH and, like…”
Dee: “I wish it would have gone back to me, but that was also before the Mosh Pit, so it’s fine.”
Dee: “Like, I want to put up people who are saying my name. Because what the hell? So I’m thinking Lala.”
Melody: “Yeah, Lala does not like you.”
Dee: “Yeah. And, like, Taylor. No, what do you think?”
Mallory: “I mean, there’s very limited options of people. So I think Taylor wouldn’t be bad.”
Melody: “Especially because they’re like this.”

Barrett: “Yeah, it’s basically just, who do you want to leave out of the outside of the Mosh Pit from nominations initially.”
Barrett: “Yash put you up, you put him up. It would make sense to go after him again. If we’re worried about him having some HOH Takeover, though, I fully understand that.”
Dee: “Would you be down to talk with Yash?”
Drew: “And say what?”
Dee: “I just want to know what happened that night.”
Drew: “Oh, we could talk.”
Dee: “Yeah?”
Drew: “Okay, cool. Like, us together?”

Dee: “No, like, I think maybe more you, me and Yash.”
Drew: “No, I’m sorry, man — like, us three.”
Dee: “Unless you guys want to be here, I don’t care either. I don’t care.”
Barrett: “No, y’all can do that. Yeah, do your thing.”
Angela: “I trust you. I feel like we should all be here. I want this all aired out. I want to know what’s going on.”
Angela: “We can’t go get Yash right now.”
Barrett: “Would he be more willing to talk if it was just the three of us?”
Drew: “I would prefer it to just be the three of us, definitely. But we could do whatever you want.”

Dee: “I’ll go get him now. The reason why I want him now is because I don’t want there to be, like, chit-chat. Like, I want us all to be on the same page if we’re going to work together.”
Dee: “And I genuinely don’t want there to be chit-chat, because I also feel like with us, we haven’t really talked much and it’s always been chit-chat.”
Dee: “Like, I want to work together. So the only way that that can be cut is if we’re all here as, like, witnesses.”
Devens: “You want me to grab him?”
Dee: “Yeah, whatever’s easier. I just want to know what happened the night where he was HOH.”
Devens: “Okay, he’s downstairs somewhere.”

Dee: “Is that cool? Are you nervous?”
Mallory: “I mean, I don’t think I was even there for this conversation. So I don’t think I’m going to have anything to say about it.”
Dee: “No, you don’t have to say anything. I just want everybody to listen in.”
Dee: “Because if, like — I don’t want Yash to go out and say something, and that’s going to, like, f— us up. Because he could definitely do that.”
Drew: “But do you want him to be in here with all of us?”
Devens: “And be like, we got seven people. We don’t need to play the middle.”
Devens: “Like, I think playing the middle just makes you more suspect than anything at this point.”

Angela: “Let’s just bring him up. If we really are together, we have to really be together.”
Melody: “Especially after this week.”
Melody: “Yeah, and that night that he was HOH, I talked to him too. And my whole thing was like, I haven’t f—ed with Haley since day one. Period. And neither has Yash.”
Melody: “Like, me and Yash have literally been talking about Chuk and Haley this whole f—ing time. And he, the whole time too, was like, Haley needs to go home. Haley is a target. I agree with everything you’re saying. Blah, blah, blah.”
Melody: “And then, of course, Kamu takes over his f—ing HOH.”
Drew: “And then wants him up. And I knew that there was no arguing with Kamu in the room.”

Melody: “Like, he wasn’t even — he mentioned maybe putting you up. He definitely wanted to put you up.”
Dee: “Kamu?”
Melody: “No, Yash.”
Melody: “But even when I was talking to him that night, he wasn’t even really telling me a third nom. He was just like, Haley, period, is going home. And I was like, yeah. Like, that’s what I wanted too.”
Melody: “So I don’t know. And I didn’t really talk to him after that, game-wise, because I thought we were all chill.”

12:26 PM — Dee, Yash, Drew, Angela, Devens, Melody, Mallory and Barrett (HOH)

Dee: “I know we haven’t had sunlight.”
Dee: “No, it was just kind of trying to figure out what happened when you were HOH — what happened in terms of who said my name. Because I want to put up people that were conspiring against me.”
Dee: “It is what it is. And you’re one of them, you know what I mean? And I want everyone in the room, because let’s air it out.”
Dee: “So what literally happened that night? Who said my name first? Like, what was the conversation like?”

Yash: “Yeah, so that first night when I won HOH, Drew and Kamu came up and were sharing opinions on different things. Kamu was definitely leading the forefront on your lying, you conspiring against him and all that stuff.”
Yash: “Drew was there for that conversation, can attest to that.”
Drew: “Yes, he for sure wanted you up, like with 100%. He’s like, if I get to pick one person up, it’s Dee.”

Yash: “And then after noms, when I nominated you two and I nominated Haley, I was clear with everyone about the approach there. You two were going up. Icons have never been on the block.”
Yash: “Haley was the target, because for obvious reasons, she was the target in that sense.”
Yash: “I was like, once I put these three up, I’m going to let you all do what you guys want to do. I was clear about that from the start. I was clear about that the whole way through.”

Yash: “After you put up Kamu and took down Dee — I wanted Kamu to stay, but ultimately I still was, let’s get Haley out. If she’s sitting there, take the shot at Haley.”
Yash: “That was my initial target. Target has not changed. Mission has not changed.”
Yash: “Obviously throughout the week, we were having multiple conversations about pros and cons of four different people, because those conversations had to have been had with you two and Haley. And then when you got pulled off, those same conversations had to have been had with Kamu there too.”
Yash: “And in there, obviously everyone is going to say pros and cons for every single person.”

Dee: “So the night of — and let’s not fast forward — the night of, what happened there? Because that’s what I’m trying to get at.”
Dee: “Did you already have noms in mind before you talked to Kamu and Drew?”
Yash: “I did, but I didn’t share the thoughts.”
Dee: “So did Kamu share the thought first, or Drew? Like what happened? What happened that night?”

Yash: “Yeah, so…”
Dee: “Because I told you Drew’s name the morning of.”
Yash: “And he knows that, too. We talked about it. And I told him that, too.”
Drew: “No, yeah. And, like, appreciate the honesty from both of you guys.”
Yash: “Yeah. Fully.”
Yash: “But, yeah, that night, me, Drew, Kamu were in the room and we talked for a while just about different things. They were just giving me information about various people, and you were one of the names, obviously, that was mentioned. I learned things and I heard things that ultimately, at the time, made me put you up.”

Dee: “Like, what were some of the things?”
Yash: “Oh, like specifics is tough, because again, when I hear drama, I zone out. But let me think.”
Yash: “Look, yeah, and you guys all know that about me. I don’t dip and dab with the bulls—. If I hear it, good to know it’s happening. And I zoom out from it, I say, okay, they’re involved in bulls—. Noted.”
Yash: “So details is tough. But truthfully, I know Kamu and Drew both expressed a little bit of mistrust for you. And I’m not going to hide that and beat around the bush in that one. The specifics, if I knew them, I would say them, but I don’t.”

The feeds cut. They come back with Angela already speaking.

Angela: “Do you want to say anything?”
Drew: “Um, Kamu was leading it. I was just trying to make sure that it wasn’t — Haley was going to get on the block. And I think Yash and me were on the same page.”
Drew: “But Kamu came in with the plan that you have to sit there. And, like, Yash was, like, iffy on it being Angela.”
Dee: “Were you okay with me going home?”
Drew: “No. I never wanted you to go home. I wanted Haley to go home. That’s why I wanted to make sure that she was on the block.”

Dee: “But were you okay with me being up as a nom?”
Drew: “I don’t think there was any arguing with Kamu, and it felt like Kamu was really making a case for Yash to put you up. And I think hard press on Yash from Kamu that you should go up.”
Devens: “But you were both pushing for Haley?”
Drew: “We were both pushing for Haley with certainty. Haley has to go.”
Drew: “Yash wanted Haley for sure to be up there. I was completely agreeing with him. And then I was back pushing on Barrett.”

Angela starts a sentence, stops, and says never mind.

Devens: “So nobody was pushing for Angela.”
Angela: “That’s what I’m confused on.”
Dee: “Yeah, me too.”
Yash: “How come you’re confused? Because I was straightforward with it the whole time, within all the conversations. Because even in terms of the story of putting you guys up, it made sense.”

Drew: “Kamu was super adamant on the people who flipped and lied about the vote need to be up there. And I was like, Haley needs to be sitting up there.”
Drew: “And me and him were like, Haley for sure has to go up there.”
Devens: “And you both agreed that Haley should be the target?”
Drew: “Yes.”

Angela: “All right, I’m just going to say it. I’m sorry. He said that you really wanted me to go home.”
Yash: “Yeah, that makes no sense. Because I was clear as day with everyone in this room about it, that Haley was a target. If she’s sitting there, we get her out.”
Yash: “Putting you two up made perfect sense, because you guys are Icons. You haven’t touched the block, and you both flipped the vote that I was on the wrong side of. So logically, putting you two made sense, because it would not raise any eyebrows. None of us in this room were going to look at me different for putting you guys up, because it made logical sense.”
Yash: “And the name of this game is you got to put up other people besides your target. If Haley was my target, putting you two made sense.”
Yash: “And I was straightforward with you the whole time. I said, I’m considering.”

Angela: “Are you sure that he was pushing for me? That Yash was pushing for me?”
Drew: “Yash — the only reason Yash mentioned your name whatsoever at all is because of what happened between him and Chuk. Because Chuk was planting the idea to Yash that you were after him and he was after you.”
Drew: “Is that right, Yash? That Chuk was the one? I mean, the Chuk thing we’ve talked about. That’s where the distrust, I think, started.”

Angela: “I’m just saying that you did say that Yash was pressing for me to go home.”
Drew: “If you were sitting next to Kamu, they wanted you to go home. They wanted Kamu to stay.”
Angela: “No, no, it was before that, though. I thought you were just saying that.”
Drew: “Well, yeah, I think I wanted Haley up on the block, so did he, but he also wanted — did you not want Angela on the block, dude?”
Yash: “No, I wanted her.”
Angela: “I mean, yes, you did, of course. I mean, he’s been transparent about it.”
Yash: “Pushing someone to go home and putting them on the block is different.”

Drew: “They viewed you as the Barrett of, like, the week before. Of, like, no matter who says X to Angela, the other person goes. Like, you were, like, safe no matter what.”
Drew: “It was like, Kamu was like, if Angela’s next to Dee, Dee goes. If Angela’s next to Haley, Haley goes.”

Devens: “What were you guys hearing?”
Melody: “I heard that too. They definitely wanted to keep Kamu.”
Devens: “Before I put Kamu up. I’m just curious.”
Melody: “When it was Dee, Angela and Haley, Haley was the target. Like, that’s what we talked about the night of HOH.”
Devens: “Yeah, I talked to Yash about that. Like, I was clear about that. And then Kamu was clearly pushing Dee.”

Mallory: “Yeah, before the whole veto ceremony, people would ask, between Dee and Angela, who would want to go. So there wasn’t, like, a set thing on anything.”
Mallory: “I would just say neither of them had campaigned to me yet, so I had to hear what people had to say. But it didn’t seem like there was a big push either way between the two of them.”
Devens: “Thank you.”

Drew: “Yeah, it was like the same thing as last week. It was like, all right, if Barrett’s sitting next to anybody, the other person goes.”
Drew: “And they viewed you as, like — like Angela is not leaving this game this week, because Haley and Dee are bigger threats.”

12:50 PM — Barrett and Dee (HOH)

Barrett: “To give Drew the benefit of the doubt, when I haven’t been probably this week — like, he is loyal to this s— over Yash, I think, any day.”
Barrett: “And I think this was probably good to get him more comfortable with going after Yash a bit. But, yeah, I don’t f—ing know. Because he didn’t even tell me that I was being considered for noms that first night.”
Dee: “I know, you told me that, and he will never know that I know that. I know he didn’t tell me either about noms.”
Dee: “So where I’m at is, like, I’m clearly not trusting him, because I said his name the following day — not the night of. The night of, I went to bed, and the people that were up here were coming with Drew. So I would be stupid to think that Drew didn’t have a say in me and Angela going up.”

Barrett: “Well, in the same sense that, like, when I hear that Kamu is distrusting of me, it’s not like, okay, well, Drew, are you defending me also?”
Dee: “No, he’s not.”
Dee: “Would it be the worst thing if I put him up? Within us and Mallory and Melody. Definitely, probably Melody would be hurt.”
Dee: “How do you think I should go about this?”
Barrett: “I mean, is that not exactly what Devens was going to hit the nuclear button about, if he was just immediately, like, put up on the block, or he, like, had something go against him?”
Barrett: “The thing is, if you put one of us up, it’s still not going to change anything. Okay, so, like, he could stay over anybody with our numbers.”

Barrett: “But, like, okay, so you’re saying he goes up with who? Drew, Lala, Taylor?”
Barrett: “I mean, I feel like you’re asking for him, if he gets power, to put you up on the block. And I just don’t want that game to be played with all of us.”
Dee: “You think he’d get power?”
Barrett: “Get a power? No, I meant, like, HOH or something in the following week.”
Dee: “I think Drew would do it regardless.”
Dee: “You get what I’m trying to get at here? He was up here because he told me everything, and that’s why I wanted to have everyone in a group, because he could definitely go around and put in, like, Mallory and Melody’s ear. And that’s why before the conversation I told you we’re good.”

Barrett: “He would do it anyway. I think you can do it. You just may lose Mallory and Melody.”
Barrett: “You’re not gonna lose me, no matter what you do.”
Dee: “I know. Same. That’s why I’m talking to you about it.”
Barrett: “But that — I mean, that risks, like, a lot of things going wrong.”
Barrett: “I’m not going to tell you what to do on your HOH.”
Dee: “I know.”
Barrett: “Because he’s been sus as f— too.”

Dee: “He’s been super f—ing sus. And I always felt like this past week, him and Kamu had a lot to do with it. A lot.”
Dee: “Because I was in an alliance with Kamu and f—ing Yash. So why are you putting me up? You know what I mean?”
Barrett: “What were y’all called?”
Dee: “Wolfpack.”
Dee: “You know what’s crazy? When I got nom’d — well, before, I was like… you know that’s gonna be shown. And then the next would be, like, me doing some stupid s—.”
Barrett: “I don’t think — when your face pops up, you just hear a distant howl.”

Barrett: “I don’t love the idea of Drew going out. What do you think the benefit is of Drew going out? Let’s just think about that, like, long term.”
Dee: “He was the reason Angela and I went up. If he wins HOH next week, he’s going to put me up anyway, because who is he not going to put up?”
Dee: “He’s not going to put any of us up, like you, Mallory, Melody. He’s going to put me, Devens, because he was the main reason in the HOH room. He was the one driving it.”
Barrett: “Is that what Yash said?”
Dee: “Wait, what? Nobody knows. Nobody knows that. I know this from you.”
Dee: “You told me the other day that when we were in the HOH room — not me, you guys.”
Barrett: “Oh, yeah, when you brought up Devens’ name.”
Dee: “Yes, when Lala was like, oh, whatever, the Icons.”

Barrett: “You literally told me that he was.”
Dee: “Oh, yeah, he was the first person. And he does not know that. And I will never tell him, like, literally.”
Dee: “But I feel like he would f—ing do it anyway.”
Barrett: “Is Devens cool with him going up? Have you talked to him about it?”
Dee: “Yes. Yes, because he knows that he’s the reason why.”
Dee: “But also, there’s numbers for Drew to go home, because nobody trusts him. The house does not trust him. Do you know that?”
Barrett: “Yeah. Oh, yeah.”
Dee: “Nobody trusts him. No one.”

Dee: “How’s your relationship with Yash?”
Barrett: “It’s okay. I mean, I lied to his ass too. And he didn’t want to consult me on his vote. He counted me out immediately on considering it.”
Barrett: “But then again, he also talked about Drew a lot yesterday. Which I haven’t even gotten to talk to you about, before the HOH competition. He was bringing up Drew. He was f—ing pissed at Drew.”
Dee: “Why?”
Barrett: “Because Drew said all this s—. I guess he said Drew was basically out here bulls—ting him all the night before, and then didn’t even warn him before the vote that it had changed.”
Dee: “Oh, right. For that, right.”

Dee: “But I know — that’s what I want to talk to you about, because I don’t want to do anything without consulting you first. Or, like, staying open with, you know, ideas. And also, he loves you.”
Barrett: “I get that. It’s just, Drew is loyal to this s—. Like, but he’s loyal in the sense that he’s playing the f—ing middle.”
Barrett: “And I think that doing that to him is probably a good reason to do it. But I’m not saying don’t put him up.”
Dee: “But he also didn’t want Yash to be in here. And I think that’s why Devens stepped in and was like, why are we playing this middle bulls—?”
Dee: “So, like, he’s loyal up until his own ass is on the line. Which is literally every time.”

Dee: “And everything we talk about will never go. Not even to Devens, to Angela, Drew, nobody. Because, like, I told you I want to rock with — to the end.”
Barrett: “No, I want to be with you to the end.”
Dee: “Same with you. Like, I want to be in this house with you. Like, we’ll have so much fun. You’re amazing. You’re such a good competitor. Like, I freaking love you.”
Dee: “I want to see this through. And I want to be friends after, too.”
Dee: “I’m literally keeping your buff. And you’re getting one of my buffs.”
Barrett: “No, this is literally — but yes to all of that. I will bring you to the end if I have to. And I don’t say that lightly.”

Barrett: “This is the toughest thing you could be bringing up right now.”
Barrett: “I’ll also never, like, get hurt if you do put me up. Because I freaking love you. So, you get what I’m saying?”
Dee: “Well, I’m not going to. But I will never do it to you, just so that you know. I’m not going to put you up.”
Barrett: “You just have to know that if you put up Drew, you are going to lose Mallory and Melody. Like, no doubt in my mind.”

Dee: “Would they gun for me regardless? Because I asked Drew in the gym before I won HOH, while I was riding the bike. I said, if Mallory won, who would she put up?”
Dee: “And he was like, uh… Took forever to answer.”
Dee: “So he was like, well, she wouldn’t put up Taylor, because they’ve been working since the beginning. She wouldn’t put up Yash. And I’m like, so who the f— would she put up? Clearly me, Devens and Angela.”
Barrett: “So do you understand where I’m coming from?”
Dee: “Yeah. Like, even if I lose them — did I ever have them to begin with?”
Barrett: “I’d be more keen on Mallory. And Mallory has seemed gung-ho to try to get as far as she came with Mosh.”

Dee: “What do you mean?”
Barrett: “Like, when you — because you put her up, and then she was like, does Dee like me? And I’m like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And we worked that out, at least.”
Barrett: “And then, I don’t know who she would have put up. I would have assumed everybody could stick with the plan to go with Mosh Pit.”
Dee: “But are you sure? Because her and Yash are extremely close.”
Barrett: “They are. She likes Yash a lot. I mean, the biggest thing last week was, like, I can’t lie to Yash like this. That was, like, the most painful thing for her.”
Dee: “I felt so bad.”

Dee: “I just need you to know, like, I am rocking with Mallory, too. And I know you guys are, like, best friends. That doesn’t scare me.”
Dee: “I love you. I love her simultaneously. Like, there’s nothing in my mind that I’m thinking, Mallory needs to — you know what I mean?”
Barrett: “No, that’s how I feel about you.”
Dee: “And, like, I want her to know that, too.”
Barrett: “Obviously, maybe through you, but…”
Barrett: “I know they’re not the most trusting of Drew either. Melody’s not going to be on board with it. But someone like Mallory may be on board with it, just because she sees Drew too.”
Dee: “Okay, I’m glad she does. Like, that’s my whole thing too.”

Dee: “Lala, Taylor for sure. Because they were conspiring against me, and that’s easy.”
Dee: “And let’s think, like, who can get us further, too. You know what I’m saying?”
Dee: “Because Yash is out here saying that you are, like, the ultimate middleman.”
Barrett: “Me?”
Dee: “Yeah. But just so you know, I don’t give a f—. He was the ultimate middleman. He wins. But just so you know, like, where his head’s at.”
Dee: “And I trust you wholeheartedly, so I don’t give a f— what he says, or anybody, really.”
Barrett: “No, I don’t give a f— what he says either. I don’t feel like I can sit here and tell you to put up Drew, but I’m not gonna be mad if you do.”

Dee: “Yeah, I know. Either way, like, if I do end up putting him up, I just wanna make sure you and I are good.”
Dee: “We will figure it out. We’re always good. Because my main priority is us. So, but it’s still consideration. Like, I don’t know. We can talk it through.”
Dee: “I feel like Haley — she’s had a rough two weeks. Putting her up again, dude, for the third time. She has nobody. And she doesn’t think she’s going to be there. She hates Lala, Taylor. She would leave, you know?”
Dee: “So why not keep that person here? If they want to go home anyway, they’re going to lose the Blockbuster. You know what I mean?”
Dee: “And that’s a perfect person for us to sit next to if we ever go up. Because they’re going to want to take Haley out. No matter what side. So that’s my reasoning for not putting Haley up.”
Dee: “But I can’t say that in front of the girls, because I know that they don’t like her.”
Barrett: “No, I don’t think you should put Haley up.”

Dee: “And I could put Yash — a perfect excuse — but also I feel like he’s being very real. And I even told him, like, hey, it got back to me that you told Haley and Drew, and he was like, yeah.”
Dee: “Like, he’s very — he’s a straight shooter. You get what I’m saying? As opposed to Drew, who’s not.”
Dee: “And it’s like, long term in this game, do I want to be paranoid with Drew?”
Barrett: “No.”
Dee: “With people that, like, give it to me straight. Even if I am going up, like, you know, just f—ing tell me. Or, like, don’t play games with all the sides.”
Barrett: “I mean, the only difference is that Yash has put you on the block, and I think if Drew won power, he wouldn’t have put you on the block this week. You know, that’s the only difference.”
Dee: “Well, this week. Because he still has Yash, Lala, Taylor. But he would put me up. He would. I know that.”

Barrett: “I think he — I don’t think he would. I don’t know, really. He was even wanting to discuss long-term plans today. I would have loved to have known what he would have said.”
Dee: “So what should I do? It’s just that third person that’s messing with me.”
Barrett: “Does Angela want him up?”
Dee: “She also thinks he’s shady. Everyone in this house thinks he’s shady.”
Barrett: “So no one’s really going to argue with you?”
Dee: “No, no one will. I mean, I’m not going to tell people. People want him out. And honestly, I get why. I really understand why. Because I feel the same things.”

Dee: “If he doesn’t win veto or Blockbuster, he will go home.”
Barrett: “Yeah. People don’t trust him. But do you trust Yash?”
Dee: “No. But also, he can win comps.”
Barrett: “Yeah, and then put all of us up.”
Dee: “I don’t think he — who does Yash have? Other than Lala and Taylor. And I’m putting his two number ones on the block.”
Barrett: “Yash’s two number ones?”
Dee: “Yeah. Well, also Mallory, but I’m not going to f—ing put her up.”
Dee: “They’re both up on the block.”

Barrett: “That’s what I’m saying. Like, if he wins power, he’s just going to go after y’all again. Maybe me.”
Barrett: “And, like, whereas Drew would just keep going after Lala and Taylor and Yash — is the only difference.”
Barrett: “Like, I get that Drew seems shady, but that’s what he would have done, I think. And Yash is just going to keep, like — and I also don’t, I don’t know. I get it.”
Dee: “It’s a whole guessing game.”

Dee: “Because Drew was telling me last night that Yash was, like, trying to get info from the girls or something. That Yash apparently, like, hates Drew more, but likes you now.”
Dee: “That’s what Drew told me last night. Take it with a grain of salt.”
Barrett: “He likes me now. Okay.”
Dee: “I do not know if that’s true or not. That’s what comes out of Drew’s mouth. I don’t know. So, but that came from Drew’s mouth. Do I know if that’s a fact? Genuinely, I don’t know half the s— that, you know.”

Barrett: “I trust — I trust your gut. You know, I trust you a million percent. I’m not going to be — I’m really okay with it.”
Barrett: “Like, I just want to make sure that this isn’t going to be, like, the moment that you’re like, I don’t know if I should have put Drew on the block at this point.”
Dee: “I see, like, looking back.”
Barrett: “When we have seven of us. And still have four people that are not in the seven of us.”
Dee: “Yeah, no, that makes sense. That definitely makes sense. So, okay, if I don’t put you up…”
Dee: “I mean, I can always put Haley up, but… she’d be, like, easy to get out whenever.”
Barrett: “You’re right. I don’t want to sit here and even put Haley up today.”

Dee: “She literally, like — not that she loves me, she loves you. She loves Angela. No, literally, she loves you and Angela. I don’t know what the f— you guys do to her, but that’s a good thing.”
Barrett: “We just don’t — I think we — well, actually, I was about to say we just don’t yell at her, but Angela did.”
Dee: “I still don’t know what happened that day, and I don’t care. I haven’t asked either of them. I’m just like, why would I care? That happened, like, five weeks ago, whenever it did.”

Barrett: “Okay, I’m sitting here saying there’s nothing that Drew hasn’t done in the past week that doesn’t deserve for him to go on the block and have your trust not aligned with him. Especially if he didn’t say what you needed him to say in here.”
Dee: “How can I go — let’s say I do put Drew up — how can I move forward with Melody and Mallory?”
Dee: “And honestly, I’m willing to take the risk. Like, if they don’t trust me, I trust that you would, like, convey the info of, like… I’m not trying to take shots at the Mosh Pit.”
Barrett: “They get that. They know that.”
Barrett: “They were telling — I mean, practically when Drew was on the block in Haley’s HOH, they were saying the same thing about him. They know he was going upstairs and then coming downstairs and whispering the week before.”

Dee: “Even when Kamu was HOH and he put up Mallory, Drew f—ing knew about that. He didn’t care. He didn’t give a blind f—.”
Barrett: “Oh, he didn’t care.”
Dee: “Even with Melody. He’s saying, like, Melody’s my puppy dog. Put her up. Like, what?”
Barrett: “I feel like I was doing the heavy lifting for trying to get Melody to stay in the game.”
Dee: “I know. Yeah, you were. And, like, you actually care. And that’s why I freaking love you.”

Dee: “So should I talk to Mallory and Melody alone, or together? Or what do you think?”
Barrett: “I mean, if you need to air your s— out, air your s— out.”
Barrett: “Because I don’t think there would be — especially with Mallory, I don’t think she disagrees. With Melody, she may feel clouded, but still — she was also pissed at Drew during the week he was on the block. Being like, yeah, I wouldn’t — like, she didn’t care if he even went home, it seemed like.”
Barrett: “I’m not going to say they’re in a relationship, but you know what I’m saying? Like, there’s feelings involved.”
Dee: “Of course, of course. But, like, if there’s even feelings involved, like, what the f— would you do to me?”
Dee: “Like, I trust — this whole last week, it was him and Kamu. Because why did — Yash didn’t even need a reason to put me up. He didn’t.”

Dee: “But, okay, I’ll talk to Mallory and Melody alone. I gotta talk to, I guess, everyone.”
Dee: “I know this sucks. I’m so sorry.”
Barrett: “No, it’s okay. I’m just trying to make sure I’m thinking of every avenue here.”
Barrett: “I think you should do it.”

Dee: “Yeah. And I would never — anything you ever tell me, I would never go back to Drew or anybody.”
Barrett: “What do you want me to tell Drew after this long conversation?”
Dee: “He’s probably going to be like, why the f— did she ask him to stay? He’s probably going to think that I’m drilling you to try to get info.”
Barrett: “Well, he’s going to come back and talk anyway.”
Dee: “So, like, yeah — she was feeling a little weird, because with the whole Angela thing, you did it in front of Yash, right? Would that be a good excuse?”
Dee: “And that’s exactly why she made the meeting, and now she doesn’t want to call another meeting. Is that a thing?”
Barrett: “Yeah, that was basically it.”

Dee: “And because he’s still going to come up here and just try to talk it out. And he’s going to blame everything on Kamu, because he’s not here.”
Dee: “But notice how, like, in the meeting he stayed shut. But as soon as Yash left, he started talking.”
Barrett: “Well, when he was in here, he looked scared s—less.”
Dee: “You saw him? He was twitching like this. His fingers were. And he kept gulping. I remember every time.”
Barrett: “At one point you said, Drew, are you okay? And I turned and his eyes were just —”
Dee: “Like an owl.”
Barrett: “Like an owl.”

Dee: “Okay, let’s think about this, because you need to be good. Definitely talk to Mallory, because obviously you trust her, and I trust her too simultaneously.”
Barrett: “Yeah, I’m going to.”
Dee: “And I’m going to talk to her too. You tell Drew — yeah, you can blame it on me. Put it on me. Stay good with him. That’s the only thing.”
Dee: “Stay good with him because, yeah, I don’t want you guys to, you know — that would be so stupid.”
Barrett: “Do you want me to, like, say you were considering him? Or we just talked?”
Dee: “What would make you feel better?”
Barrett: “I don’t want to be a rat. So I don’t really want to say you were considering him or anything.”

Dee: “Whatever you want. But we’re talking about it. So even if you do, I trust you. 100%. Just let me know what it is, so I know.”
Barrett: “I’m going to tell him that we just talked about the Angela–Yash thing. And then we talked about just everything from the past week as well.”
Dee: “Okay, good. That way I know what.”
Dee: “I guess you’ll talk to Mallory. Talk to Mallory, and also if she wants to come up, tell her to come up. Because either way, like, it’s fine.”
Dee: “Like, I genuinely need her to know. Like, I love her. Like, she’s so cool and funny. And I know we don’t have the best relationship, but I’m not going to put her up. I don’t want that.”
Dee: “Like, I genuinely want to go to the end with people I like. And, like, good competitors, too.”

Dee: “You actually both were, like, very close. No, you both had the same score, I think. Did you notice that? That’s what we keep joking about. I was like, I think people are telling me I beat you by a little bit, and she’s like, no, I literally beat you by a second.”
Dee: “Okay, we’ll have to talk to our people. Should I tell people that I’m considering, like, Drew? Or what do I do?”
Barrett: “I think you can say you’re considering Drew. I think being honest with people is only going to help you in that case.”
Barrett: “But the fact that you’re suspicious about Drew might as well be, you’re considering Drew.”

Barrett: “All right. You’re doing great. I’m glad you’re up here.”
Dee: “Me too. All right. Love you so much.”
Barrett: “I’m sorry everything’s stressful. Sorry, I’ll give you a proper hug.”
Dee: “Yes, these are the better hugs. Oh my God, everybody’s lined up. I’m sorry. God, I feel bad.”
Barrett: “Good luck with everything. If I don’t get to talk to you one-on-one before the nomination ceremony, Godspeed. I got you. I support you with whatever you do.”
Dee: “I know you will. And I trust you. Thank you for understanding. This is my trust. I am giving you all my trust.”
Barrett: “I feel it. All my energy.”

1:14 PM — Lala and Dee (HOH)

Dee: “Hey. What’s up? I’m so sorry.”
Lala: “Girl, please.”
Dee: “I’m not even going to take up — I’m so freaking sorry, because, like, whoever’s here, I want to… you know what I mean?”
Lala: “I know. I’m not trying to take up a whole lot of your time. I’m just checking in. Because I know that you’ve had a whole lot of stuff going on.”
Dee: “Yes, it’s been f—ing hectic. But I’ll just, like, be straightforward with you, because I don’t want there to be some BS.”
Dee: “I am considering you.”
Dee: “It’s because, like, you were coming for me when I was a nom. Like, that is what I heard.”

Lala: “That’s so funny. Let me tell you — let me let you know, and I’m gonna lay it all on the table for you right here.”
Lala: “It comes from Devens. And that’s why the whole thing with Devens — when Kamu went up, when Kamu got the veto, because Kamu was supposed to be going on the block.”
Lala: “And then what I was going to do is, if somebody came off the block with the veto, if somebody won, I was replacing them with Devens. I’m going to be honest with you.”
Dee: “And I’m not even telling that to Devens, because that’s not my f—ing business.”
Lala: “But just so you know. So I’m being straightforward with you with that. So it wasn’t you. It was him.”

Dee: “No, but this isn’t when you were HOH. I’m talking about when I was up this past week as a — what is it called? As a nom.”
Lala: “You know who was after you?”
Dee: “Who?”
Lala: “It was not Lala. The room. Drew, Mallory. Melody.”
Lala: “And Barrett — Barrett was in the room. But he didn’t really, like, say. So, no, it was not me.”
Lala: “Because I have no reason to lie to you about it. None. Because if it was me, I would tell you.”

Lala: “I didn’t even — okay, I’ll go further. I didn’t even know what was going on. Because they told me, they said, oh, well, Lala, you just sit. You just sit. You’re cool. You’re good. You don’t have to worry this week.”
Lala: “Because everything that went on last week, you just sit back and be quiet. I wasn’t even a part of any of that s—. None of it.”
Dee: “I didn’t know you were part of nothing.”
Lala: “Because they were like, oh, we’ll take care of it. And that’s why when this thing happened, even when the thing happened with Kamu — yeah, Kamu — I thought Kamu was staying.”
Lala: “And then when they told me he wasn’t, I was like, f—, really? And so I gave him my sympathy vote. Because I love Kamu.”

Dee: “And because I heard that there was, like, a meeting here when you were HOH. It was after noms, so you had already nominated.”
Dee: “There were, like, multiple people in the room that said that you started a whole, like, oh, the Icons haven’t been up.”
Dee: “And by the way, like, obviously this is a game. It’s all s— that I’m hearing. That’s why I’m airing it out. Because at the end of the day, I got you.”
Lala: “Let me just say this to you. And I know exactly who said it. Because they’re the ones who said it. Not me.”
Lala: “To get the Icons — why didn’t I put the Icons up? Duh, doesn’t that make sense? I had a chance to do it, so why wouldn’t I do it? So that doesn’t make sense to me.”

Dee: “Well, it was after you had already made your noms.”
Lala: “But this is what I’m saying. If that’s what I wanted to do, y’all would have been the noms. Think about it.”
Lala: “Why would I wait until the afternoon to say, when I’ve already put my noms up? That’s stupid. If I was going to make the move, why not make the move? I’m not afraid to make a move.”

Lala: “Drew is a motherf—er.”
Dee: “Yeah, I feel that.”
Lala: “He’s a little f—ing snake.”
Dee: “Definitely feel that.”
Lala: “And he flits here, and he flits there. It’s f—ing annoying. I’m going to tell you right now, I would love to get him out.”
Dee: “I agree. I agree with you.”
Lala: “Because he starts all the f—ing s—.”

Lala: “And then he goes — and then Melody. Listen, D, this is funny. I don’t give a s—. I don’t give a s— at this point.”
Lala: “So Melody said that she was like, oh, well, I got Drew. You know, I got Drew. He’s good. He’s good.”
Lala: “I’m like, Drew is flitting from place to place. Drew doesn’t have a true place. I was like, okay, you ain’t got nothing on nobody.”
Dee: “I f—ing would love if Drew went out. 100%. Because I think the same thing that you’re saying. He’s a little f—ing snake.”
Lala: “He’s here. He’s there. He’s with you. He’s with me. He’s with the — why?”

Lala: “Let me tell you this. When Yash was here, when Yash was head of household, he was in here the whole day.”
Dee: “I know.”
Lala: “When Devens was head of household, he was in here the whole day. So, I mean, he just…”
Lala: “He’s a pain in the f—ing ass. That’s what he is. Love him in the real life. Definitely little brother.”
Dee: “Oh, totally.”
Lala: “He’s like, shut the f— up. Are you f—ing kidding me?”

Lala: “So, okay, listen. You got to do what you got to do. But I’m going to tell you right now, you got other eggs that you can fry.”
Lala: “Because Lala is not the one. All I want is Devens. I’m not trying to get Angela.”
Dee: “No, I trust that. I definitely trust that. Like, I believe what we’re saying.”
Lala: “When he told Rome, I promise you I’m not putting you up in renom. I promise I’m not going to do that. And then he put him up in renom.”
Lala: “I said, that’s a motherf—er who goes for blood, and he doesn’t give a s—.”

Dee: “I didn’t even know that that conversation happened. That hurt my feelings. Because the first week, I was like all over the f—ing place.”
Lala: “I know, I know. That hurt my feelings, though, because he promised Rome. And then when he said Rome, I said… what?”
Lala: “So I’m just, you know, I’m floored with a lot of this.”
Dee: “Girl, me too.”
Lala: “It’s funny how people change s—.”
Dee: “Yeah, people change up. People start, like, saying names that, like, you thought, oh, I thought you guys were cool. You know what I mean?”
Dee: “It’s like, if you’re riding with your people, ride with them. Even if I’m getting put up, but I’m riding with my people. That’s the way I see the game.”

Lala: “I’m on the bottom. Everybody’s wrong. Only time I roll to the top is when I’ve won head of household. I’m on the bottom.”
Lala: “They wanted me out that week with Mallory. They wanted me out the next week.”
Dee: “What do you mean, with Mallory?”
Lala: “When Mallory was on the block. That was the second time Kamu put her up. And then Mallory won Blockbuster. And so then they were like, oh, okay.”
Lala: “So I’ve been at the bottom of the bunk the whole time. So I’m just like, go ahead, whatever, whatever.”
Lala: “And then every time, they go to throw Lala under the bus, every f—ing time. And I’m like, Lala ain’t say s—. It was y’all that said s—. And they all rolled together.”

Dee: “Yeah, I know. We need to open our eyes. I know that needs to be broken up, because they’re trying to, like, have us take shots at each other so they can roll to the end.”
Lala: “Oh, 100%. And they’re going to try to roll right to the end. So I said, you know what? Listen, it is what it is. I’m not part of it.”
Lala: “I’m not part of it, because they’re f—ing — they go where the wind blows. They go where the wind — I’m like, I’m good.”

Lala: “Because Barrett is more quiet, for sure. He’s very smart as f—.”
Dee: “Yeah, he’s smart as f—.”
Lala: “Barrett has been trying to get on this show for seven years. Barrett is smart.”
Dee: “He’s smart, yeah.”
Lala: “Barrett is one of those ones who he would do like this — to the end. Sitting in that second seat.”
Dee: “With Mallory and Melody. Because I feel like Melody will do whatever Drew says.”
Lala: “And she was saying that Drew would do whatever she says. I’m like, nah.”

Dee: “No, girl. No, girl. He will not.”
Dee: “You see my face? No, no, no. Trust me, I’m with you on that.”
Lala: “I’m so disgusted. I really am. I’m just like, ugh.”

Lala: “But Mallory and — Mallory and Barrett, like, they were supposed to be a…”
Dee: “I hope it happens. Because they’re cute.”
Lala: “I know, but she doesn’t like his type. She likes surfer boys. She’s like, he’s not my type. I’m like, b—-, he is perfect for you.”
Lala: “You should have heard them. They were sitting down talking. They were like, well, the sky is blue. How does the blue in the sky get made?”
Dee: “No, literally — last night I was at the dining table and they were, like, singing to each other. I was like, am I supposed to be here? It was cute. Am I invading somebody?”
Lala: “No, but she said, he’s not my type. We can be friends. His poor little heart.”

Dee: “Does he really like her, though?”
Lala: “I don’t know if he really likes her.”
Dee: “From what I observe — and this is my opinion, because I don’t talk to either of them about this — it does seem like they’re both into each other.”
Lala: “It does, but I think it’s really on a really — on a loving, we-connect kind of basis. But not a couple. But it would be so cute.”
Dee: “That would be a great couple.”

Dee: “No, I agree with you on the Drew thing. 100%. And I’m glad, like, you see that, too. You know what I mean? I know you see everything.”
Lala: “Dee, I don’t see a whole lot about a whole lot of things. But if I get hot about something, I get hot about it.”
Lala: “But for the most part, I say I’m watching. I’m looking. And I see who’s doing what and who’s talking to who and all that kind of stuff. I get all that.”
Lala: “Just like you, when you — you’re like, wait a second. What? Somebody’s talking to me in the room.”
Dee: “When did I do that?”
Lala: “You do it all the time. You probably don’t even realize you do it.”

Lala: “I was downstairs. Was it last night or this morning? One of the two. And I was like, maybe I’m just not made out for this f—ing game. Because I just can’t —”
Dee: “Don’t you dare.”
Lala: “You know what it is, though? There’s so much f—ing to-your-face lying. So much f—ing underhanded s—. And then if I don’t like you, I gotta pretend I like you. And that’s hard. That’s the hardest part in this game.”
Dee: “Yeah, what the hell. I know, it’s exhausting. You have to relax.”
Lala: “Oh, my f—ing goodness.”
Dee: “You have to relax.”
Lala: “And I said, well, today I was breathing. I did my breathing exercises. And I said, Lala, you know you need some f—ing money.”

Dee: “Exactly. Keep it moving. No, relax. It’s part of it. This game is meant — it’s a pressure cooker. We’re meant to feel like that.”
Dee: “So whenever we feel like that, it’s normal. It just is what it is.”
Dee: “It’s actually a skill. And that’s why I’m so happy in life — because why would I have anybody that f—ing, I know, stresses me out?”
Lala: “I’m just breathing. I had a rough one yesterday.”

Lala: “It’s like, from the beginning, it’s like everybody who I’ve felt like I’ve gotten close to. Rome — who was a big mouth, but he was a good guy.”
Dee: “Yeah, he is.”
Lala: “And then Jason. I know he went off the rails and started doing crazy stuff.”
Dee: “I know he definitely went off the rails, but he’s a great guy. Absolutely. Kamu also, great.”
Production: “Lala, please exchange your microphone with one in the storage room.”

Dee: “Well, I’ll keep you posted. I have to have more convos, like, one-on-ones and stuff.”
Lala: “I’m just saying to you, do what you gotta do.”
Dee: “Yeah, no, I believe you. I believe you. Thank you. Thank you so much. And we’ll talk, yeah.”
Dee: “That’s why I’m trying to have these convos. I don’t want to talk to Taylor or —”
Lala: “All right.”

1:30 PM — Taylor and Dee (HOH)

The feeds are already on the conversation.

Dee: “…after me when I was a nom.”
Taylor: “Me?”
Dee: “Yeah. That’s what people were telling me. They were trying to do the numbers to get me out. When I was a nominee.”
Taylor: “Why would I come after you as a nom?”
Dee: “I don’t f—ing know.”
Taylor: “They’re lying to you. That didn’t make sense.”

Dee: “And, like, we also didn’t talk that whole day. Remember when you came up to me and were like, we haven’t talked?”
Dee: “And I was also like, okay, you haven’t talked to me either, which goes both ways. I don’t know. I’ve always felt off about that.”
Taylor: “About what?”
Dee: “So were you not trying to come after me when I was a nom?”
Taylor: “No. Why would I come after you as a nom if we’re in an alliance together?”
Dee: “That’s what everybody was f—ing saying.”
Taylor: “Nobody’s saying that. Because it’s not true.”
Dee: “Well, people are saying it.”

Taylor: “I’m the same person that was telling you not to keep Haley, because I know Haley would probably come after you.”
Taylor: “So why would I put you in that position, to then say get you out, when I know Haley is — if we’re in an alliance together…”
Dee: “I agree. 100%. I agree.”
Dee: “When Yash was HOH, did you know I was being put up as a nom?”
Taylor: “He told me he was only putting you up because he needed a seat in, because you put him up. It was like just something easy.”

Taylor: “But I have no ill will towards you. I think my personality a lot of times kind of makes people think that.”
Dee: “Never with me. We’ve already talked about this in the beginning. Because you don’t hug or whatever.”
Dee: “And I know you’re not a hugger. You don’t need to hug people. You don’t need to. This is our house and we want to feel comfortable in our own way. So that’s definitely out the window. I don’t think that ever.”

Taylor: “I think the biggest reserve I have is that I did feel like something was off with you last week, and I was just reading your body language.”
Taylor: “And I thought first, I was like, well, maybe it’s just because she’s on the block. She’s locked in, whatever the case may be.”
Taylor: “But then when you came up to me and you was like, oh, it’s Haley — what is she talking about? She’s conspiring against me. I was like, no, why would she be doing that? Whatever.”
Taylor: “So then later, when I was like, is everything okay with us? Like, you know, you’re not talking to me. And you were like, I’m not talking to you because you’re not talking to me.”
Taylor: “I don’t know, but, like, my people and my friend group, that, like, means there’s something wrong. But nobody wants to say something’s wrong. So when you said that, I’m like, oh, something’s wrong.”
Taylor: “I’m like, because I’m not not talking to her because she’s not not talking to me. To me that was like, something’s wrong and she’s not telling me.”

Taylor: “And then, I’m not gonna lie, Kamu did come to me and say that you — and it could have been just Kamu doing whatever — but Kamu was like, I guess you told him that you feel like I have a wall up with you?”
Dee: “A wall up? No.”
Taylor: “And I was like, why would I have a wall up with Dee?”
Dee: “No, he never knew about our alliance either. Nobody did.”
Taylor: “Yeah, that’s why I said, why would she say that? I’m just thinking.”

Dee: “You know what? Maybe he did know through Haley.”
Taylor: “Maybe. Why would Haley know we have an alliance?”
Dee: “Because we tried to reel her in. But she thought it was, we’re going to make a new one — not an old one we’re bringing her into.”
Taylor: “No, we were not going to bring her in anyway.”

Taylor: “So I was like, well, maybe she — I wonder why she feels like that.”
Dee: “I didn’t tell him that. So I don’t know if he said that because…”
Taylor: “I don’t know. He’s a great player, so… that’s why I didn’t bring it to you. Because to me, I’m like, that don’t make sense.”
Taylor: “But then Haley came to me and she was like, you came to her and said something about, you’re talking to Taylor now, and Taylor —”
Dee: “That is true. And I’m like — that freaked me out, because Haley also told me you told her our fight was fake.”

Taylor: “Yeah, because she came to me and said, oh — Dee just came up to me and told me that, why are you talking to Taylor? Because when y’all were up here fighting, that you — this is what she said.”
Taylor: “When y’all was up here discussing the whole bathroom situation, going back and forth, when y’all were upset with each other, that you called me a liar. And I looked, and I was like, I know. That’s exactly what she said.”
Dee: “That I called you a liar?”
Taylor: “That I called her a liar. I called Haley a liar, right? Never even talked to Haley about you and I, ever.”

Taylor: “She came to me and said, Deej just came to me. Mind you, you know I be in my pod. So every morning she would come — you would never see me come to Haley. Haley was coming to me.”
Taylor: “And I told you, I said, I’m not going to be mean to her. That’s not my personality. She want to talk, I’ll — whatever the case may be.”
Taylor: “But she was like, oh, so it was like two things. And I’m like, what the f— going on?”
Taylor: “She was like, you came to her and you was like, I don’t know what’s going on with you talking to Taylor. But she brought up how when you guys are up there in the HOH room with Lala, like, going back and forth over the bathroom situation — that you called me a liar.”
Taylor: “Not even in the room. As in, you told her that I called Haley a liar when we were fighting about the bathroom situation.”
Taylor: “So I’m just sitting there, and I’m like…”
Dee: “That did not happen.”

Taylor: “So then Kamu was sitting there when she came to me and said that, and I was just looking, and then Kamu said… but Dee wasn’t mad. I guess you told Kamu that you wasn’t actually mad.”
Dee: “I never called you a liar, so I don’t know where the f— that came from.”
Taylor: “You said that I called Haley a liar over the bathroom situation.”
Dee: “Oh, okay.”

Taylor: “Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. So then Kamu was sitting here, and I was just looking, because I’m like — but that wasn’t a real fight.”
Taylor: “So then Kamu was like, but Dee told me that when she came downstairs and did the, like, I don’t f— with Taylor thing — later, I guess you saw him and you was like, I’m not actually mad.”
Dee: “That’s not true.”
Taylor: “He said, but she told me she wasn’t actually mad.”
Dee: “That’s not f—ing true.”

Taylor: “And then I’m like, Haley — that wasn’t a real fight. So if she’s telling me I’m lying, I called you a liar, she’s lying over a lie.”
Taylor: “That wasn’t even a real fight to call you a liar. You get what I’m saying?”

Taylor: “And that’s when my anxiety been kicking my ass this past week. Usually I retract. My anxiety looks like —”
Dee: “Me too.”
Taylor: “That’s why I’m by myself. Yeah, my anxiety looks like depression.”
Taylor: “But I’m literally like, is that why she came up to me earlier that day? So now I’m like, is that why she came up to me and asked me, is she conspiring against me?”
Taylor: “Because it’s kind of like, oh, she’s already kind of thinking — she told me what happened, but she didn’t tell me what happened.”
Dee: “Yeah, because I heard that you told her that it was fake.”
Taylor: “Kamu told me what happened. And I’m just sitting there. And I never brought it to you, because I’m like, it don’t matter. I’m not going to let it kill me.”

Taylor: “And then I went back to the comment — I’m not talking to you because you’re not talking to me. I said… that’s probably why. And I just left it alone. Because I was like, it’s all bulls—.”
Taylor: “So I was like, yeah, if she did say that, she’s saying that over a fake fight.”
Dee: “What the f—?”
Taylor: “That’s so dumb. She brought that to me. Why would I go tell her that?”
Dee: “And I did say, like, it worries me that you guys are talking more. Because it felt like, what the heck? You know what I mean?”
Taylor: “I thought we were all on the same page.”
Dee: “Exactly.”

Taylor: “But you and Angela were telling me last week, when Lala was here. And I’m telling y’all, oh, my God, this girl is making me feel like scrambled eggs. Like, I don’t know how y’all do it.”
Taylor: “And y’all like, we just let her — we just let her talk. Just let her be. So I just took that on.”
Taylor: “I’ll be in my pod. Every morning she’ll come. Boop, boop, boop. And I just let her talk. And we would talk about — honestly, we wasn’t talking game. We was just talking about life. A boyfriend. Our things.”
Taylor: “And I just listen. That’s what I do for a living.”
Dee: “Yeah, you got to listen.”
Taylor: “So I never — no, that’s not true at all.”

Taylor: “So are you considering putting me up?”
Dee: “Part of me still is. And I talked to Lala and we were having a conversation about Drew — him as well.”
Dee: “I still have to, like, talk to more people. I genuinely don’t know, like, what’s real and what’s not. There’s so much happening.”
Taylor: “Well, there’s nothing else for me to really tell you, because I’m not gonna sit up here and make up stuff.”
Dee: “No, and I don’t want you to. Please don’t. There’s already a lot of info and I’m still trying to figure out — like, who the f— is telling me the truth and who isn’t?”

Taylor: “I just know the scenario last week was, y’all didn’t plan on using a veto. So my number one was obviously Haley, because that’s everybody’s number one.”
Taylor: “And it was like, okay, so if it’s Dee and Angela, who goes home? And everybody automatically says, well, the better competitor. I mean, that was just that.”
Taylor: “But I wasn’t the one to — that’s not my place. Honestly, truly. Yeah, so that’s it.”
Dee: “Okay.”
Taylor: “Do you need anything from me?”
Dee: “No, but if you want to use my laundry, you can. And it’s going to smell really f—ing good, for sure.”
Dee: “I’m going to have, like, pieces of my sushi. Because my head hurts.”

Dee: “Yeah, I guess, like — I swear my mind’s not made up, so I’ll have another talk with you. You know what I mean?”
Taylor: “No, I will say I did want to keep Kamu, but that’s it. Like, but you wasn’t on the block, so. How can I do numbers? We had three days to worry about a whole different setup.”
Taylor: “Yeah, like I said, I’ve told you from the beginning, I’ve wanted to work with you. I can’t make you believe me, but I don’t really say things I don’t mean.”
Taylor: “And I’ve always considered your game in everything that I’ve done. Like I said, even when Lala was acting a f— fool the other week, I’m literally like, bruh.”
Taylor: “And that’s why I went up to you and I was like, go talk to her. I’m literally like, just chill. Because she’s putting her game in danger. You know what I mean?”

Taylor: “This is what I talked to you about weeks ago. And I said, when they see Lala, they see me. And I’m literally just f—ing chilling. But it is what it is.”
Taylor: “If you have any more questions, just let me know. Okie dokie. Enjoy your lunch.”
Dee: “Thank you. I’ll talk to you in a little bit. I got to see if somebody’s even out here.”
Taylor: “Want me to go get Haley?”
Dee: “Yeah, if you can, if you see her.”
Taylor: “She said she was going to chill downstairs. So do you want a minute to eat lunch?”
Dee: “Yeah, I’ll take like five minutes. And then I’ll go grab her. But thank you so much.”
Taylor: “Of course.”

1:43 PM — Dee, alone (HOH)

Taylor leaves. Dee stays in the HOH room with her lunch.

Dee: “Everybody wants to save their asses now.”
Dee: “Lala, why would you tell me you’re coming after Devens? That’s my f—ing number one. You’re definitely going on the block.”
Dee: “I don’t even want to eat this, but I’m, like, shaky.”

Dee: “Crazy how people’s energy shift when you’re up on the block versus when you’re HOH immediately after.”
Dee: “Lala and Taylor, you were definitely saying my name.”
Dee: “And Lala is gunning for Devens, so why the f— would she not go up on the block?”
Dee: “And Taylor was trying to pull Haley in with Kamu and Yash.”

Dee: “But also, I can go back on my word and put Yash up. But why would I do that when I can just put Drew up? I don’t give a f—.”
Dee: “I haven’t trusted him since day one, so why not now? Perfect excuse, and Barrett is okay with it. That’s all I care about.”

Dee: “Because Barrett, I see him getting to the endgame. I really do. He’s extremely likable. He’s going to win when he needs to.”
Dee: “And he will take me to the end, I believe. And I need people in this game who will take me to the end blindly.”
Dee: “And Yash is definitely not that person. But we made a deal that we’d keep him safe — which, bro, that deal, the binding was just for you, buddy.”
Dee: “So if Devens and Angela win next week, they’re definitely going to backdoor him. But we solidified a Yash win, and that’s a week that’s safe.”

Dee: “And the Mosh Pit’s not f—ing real, because they would come for me regardless.”
Dee: “And also, Barrett’s okay with it, so why not take the shot at Drew? Because if I leave next week, you got me f—ed up if a 22-year-old is the reason why I leave this game.”
Dee: “It’s all about — you just have to observe people in this house. And the two people with y’all till five in the morning — well, you guys know more — was Kamu and Drew.”
Dee: “I thought he was doing so well the last…”

1:50 PM — Melody, Mallory and Dee (HOH)

Dee: “Thank you — because I wasn’t sure, genuinely, if, like, your feelings and it was, like, blinded, whatever.”
Melody: “No, I totally saw what you were doing.”
Dee: “Jesus Christ. And I wanted to do it with you in the room, because if you weren’t in the room…”
Dee: “Mallory, do you want to come in here really quick? Haley, I’m so sorry.”

Haley, who has been waiting to talk to Dee, says she is going to the pool. Mallory comes in.

Dee: “We’re just, like, catching up on, like, what was happening.”
Dee: “The main reason I did that group thing is more for you girls. Because everything that has been between us, the guys have been in between.”
Melody: “It was exactly what I literally just told you out there, where I was like, she kept us in the room because they knew that they were about to grill Drew.”
Mallory: “Yeah.”
Melody: “And we would be like, oh, he’s f—ing lying.”

Dee: “And I love Drew. I love him. And I do believe in the Mosh Pit, but I don’t think that he is trustworthy with any of us.”
Dee: “And I don’t tell him that to his face. I will, but I did not want to blindside either of you, because I do want to work with you long term.”
Dee: “And I feel like I’ve heard stuff from Drew from each and every one of you. And I could come out and say a lot, but I don’t even know if I should f—ing say it.”
Dee: “I mean, I’m going to just say it, because I’ll tell Drew the f—ing truth too, that I told you.”

Dee: “When Kamu was HOH, Drew knew about it. And he was okay with it — you going up. I’m sorry. It’s just the truth.”
Mallory: “You was okay with me going up?”
Dee: “Yes. It’s just the truth. And if we call Drew in right now, I’ll do it.”
Mallory: “I believe you.”
Dee: “It’s just — I’m so sorry.”
Mallory: “No, it’s okay.”

Dee: “So I am considering putting him up, because he’s been really f—ing shady. And I think he thinks that you can do whatever the f— he says.”
Melody: “Yeah, and that’s the thing. That’s what he says out loud.”
Dee: “And I don’t know what he tells other people.”
Melody: “That’s what he’s told me. So this is what he tells me, okay?”
Melody: “No, I’m, like, so angry right now, because of what I already said. And, like, that’s just, like, first of all, not the way I want to play my game. And second of all, that’s just not who I am as a person.”
Melody: “Like, I’m not a f—ing tag-along person.”

Dee: “I know that. I know. And you don’t piss me off when I hear that. You don’t understand.”
Dee: “Like, you got me f—ed up if this 22-year-old f—ing kid is going to think that he’s going to f— with you.”
Mallory: “Yeah, we just trust you. We’re not just doing whatever you say.”
Melody: “Like, yeah, you’re, like, being a f—ing asshole.”
Dee: “Well, he said that about you — that last minute, you can whisper something in your ear and you’d do it.”
Melody: “Bro.”

Dee: “Again, the reason I’m saying this is because I’m putting him up. He has been really f—ing shady.”
Dee: “And I do think that a main reason why there’s been this block between us has been because — I don’t know what the f— Drew has put in your head. But most of it, I’m sure, is not true. Just like what he told me.”
Melody: “No, and that’s the thing. I’m like, oh, so you genuinely have been playing both sides this entire f—ing time. Literally the entire time.”

Dee: “And he literally just did it now. He could have —”
Dee: “He did say that about Angela — that Yash was gunning for her. He didn’t say it in front of Yash. But then when Yash left the room, guess who stayed.”
Dee: “And then he was like, I’m sorry. I was scared. Yash is a nice guy.”
Dee: “We’re like, it doesn’t matter. If we’re in an alliance, who cares who’s a nice guy and who’s not? Because everybody here is nice. And everyone here is likable. And, like, Yash is super funny and very likable.”
Dee: “But if that’s true, just f—ing say it. What are you scared of?”

Melody: “No, dead ass. Just be like, you know what? I made a mistake. I was being dumb. And I said those things.”
Dee: “Yeah, exactly. Or, like, yeah, I was being stupid. Or yes, I did say it.”
Melody: “Period.”
Dee: “Like, yeah, Drew, I did say your name the morning after. It’s just the truth, right?”
Dee: “But — yeah, I don’t know. I want to talk it through. No, that really bothers me. But I don’t want this to f— up our relationship.”
Mallory: “No, it won’t. And, like, obviously, we’re not blindsided by it.”
Melody: “And, like, I feel better with you, too. Because, like, I was thinking the same thing. I’m so irritated right now.”

Melody: “And, like, Devens seemed genuinely pissed. And, like, I could tell Devens was, like, genuinely being like, b—-, you got me f—ed up.”
Melody: “Yo, because Drew was telling him, like…”
Dee: “First of all, like, he just blew up his whole game. And, like, now you’re gonna get him paranoid?”
Dee: “Devens still has nothing to lose. So I was just gonna say, like, Devens is not the one to be doing that to. Hell no.”
Mallory: “How’s he making Devens paranoid?”
Dee: “By playing both sides.”

Dee: “And, like, when Angela and I — well, I think this was after, because he had already used the Diamond Power. After it was Angela. Who else was out there? Kamu and who else?”
Melody: “Angela and Haley.”
Dee: “Oh, and Haley. I guess he was trying to be like, well, I don’t know where those girls are going to go. Things like that.”
Dee: “So Devens was like, don’t f— with me.”
Dee: “And listen, you do what you got to do. I know you got to talk both options, and we don’t even have to get there, because I genuinely don’t care, because that’s not the point. And, like, that’s the game.”

Melody: “Yeah, it’s like, why are you going around doing that if we’re in an alliance? It’s pissing me the f— off too, because I was just about to say that.”
Melody: “Like, bro, we solidified an alliance. So that’s what I’m sticking to.”
Melody: “And then, like, way to, like, throw us under the bus almost for literally no reason. For no reason.”
Melody: “He does that to everyone. Because he does that to me. Not just about you, like, to other people. So everyone can be paranoid of each other.”
Melody: “And then Yash was all like, Drew was blaming everything on me and Mallory.”
Dee: “Like, he told you exactly what he said.”
Melody: “Like, what do you mean? Like, you were there, too.”

Mallory: “But that’s why I wanted to have you guys here.”
Melody: “Did you talk to her yet?”
Dee: “I did. I told her I was considering her. Is that bad?”
Melody: “No.”
Mallory: “I mean, yeah, it’s better to tell someone you’re considering them than say you’re not and put them on. Who else do you think?”
Dee: “Because she was conspiring against me. Perfect excuse. I’m not going to put you guys up, so who the f— am I going to put up, you know?”
Dee: “Taylor was gunning for me.”

Mallory: “Yeah, I mean, obviously, like, I still love Drew.”
Dee: “Me too.”
Mallory: “But I don’t know, like, I literally don’t know what to say. It’s so hard, because Drew is someone I feel like I really trust. And then…”
Melody: “Same. And it’s like, he’s one of the people that I should be, like, trusting the most.”
Melody: “Even yesterday, he was like, oh, I’m, like, we’re good with Dee, we’re good with Dee. And, of course, I was like, oh, yeah, we are. Like, we’re in the alliance. And I mean that.”
Dee: “No, and I know you do.”
Melody: “Was he being paranoid? No, he wasn’t. Which is, like, good, but at the same time…”

Dee: “He was coming up to us saying, I don’t know what the girls are going to do.”
Dee: “So I don’t know what the f— happened there, but I was paranoid at one point.”
Melody: “And we could tell that you guys were paranoid, and it was freaking us out. We weren’t paranoid because of you.”
Dee: “It was because Drew was coming up to us. Oh, I don’t know if the girls are going to blindside us.”
Mallory: “We were never going to vote out Angela. The only thing we were weighing — and we weren’t even going to do it — was between Haley and Kamu.”
Melody: “But then that’s when we talked about it, and you and everyone was like, nah, Kamu, and we were like, okay.”

Mallory: “Like, that’s — we were never even considering…”
Melody: “That’s so f—ing irritating, because then we started getting paranoid, because he was like, you were paranoid. He was like, well, the Icons might come after you if you flip the vote.”
Dee: “We did tell Drew, make sure you guys don’t flip. Although I didn’t think that you would.”
Melody: “And that’s what I mean, too. That’s what’s just annoying, because he didn’t know.”
Dee: “But we did tell Drew, like, yo — but not coming after you guys. We told Drew, and this was mostly Devens, because you know Devens don’t give a f—.”

Dee: “Devens was like, this is the truth, okay? So I don’t know what the hell Drew said, but Devens said, if the vote — if Angela doesn’t stay, and we just solidified this alliance and I just blew up my game — everything is going to be aired out, including my game, his game.”
Dee: “That’s what was said. But not coming after you.”
Melody: “We were never even considering that, and then all of a sudden Drew says that, and then we’re like, oh, okay.”
Melody: “Cool, thanks for planting that in our f—ing head. No, I don’t know, that’s f—ing irritating as f—.”

Mallory: “I think you guys should act normal around him. I don’t want to say anything.”
Mallory: “What do we say if he asks us if we think he’s going up?”
Dee: “I think I’m going to tell him now that I’m considering him.”
Mallory: “Okay. That way, he doesn’t put you in a bad position. So we can tell him that you told us that you’re considering him.”
Dee: “I’ll tell him myself, to not put you in that position. Unless — do you want to tell him yourself?”
Mallory: “No, no, it doesn’t matter. No, you tell him, and then we can talk.”

Dee: “So that you can finally figure out what the f— he’s doing. Just know that everything I told you is true.”
Mallory: “I believe you.”
Dee: “If he does air it out, I will bring it up. Yeah, I have to bring it up.”
Dee: “I am rocking with you girls, and I believe in this. So, okay — you would prefer that I tell him.”
Dee: “We should be on the same page.”
Mallory: “I guess we can just say, like, you didn’t want to blindside us by putting him up, type of thing. So, like, we were not surprised.”
Dee: “Oh, he went downstairs.”

Dee: “So, like, seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thanks for being, like, open.”
Melody: “No, I already was thinking that.”
Mallory: “Yeah, we’ve already been hearing things.”
Dee: “From, like, recently, or a lot?”
Mallory: “Recently. He told Yash — because Yash was, like, what happened with the vote — and he blamed us. He was, like, the girls wouldn’t do it.”
Melody: “Like, bro, we were all in this together.”
Dee: “He blamed it on you.”

Dee: “You see, that is f—ed, because if I am aligned, I will take it. What happened? I wanted to vote Kamu out. That’s what happened. I don’t have to talk about you or you.”
Melody: “And that’s what Barrett was doing too. Barrett was, like, he’s a competitor.”
Mallory: “He’s a good competitor. I don’t talk game with him.”
Dee: “Damn, I didn’t know that. How did you find out?”
Mallory: “Oh, through Yash.”
Dee: “I believe Yash. I believe him. He’s a straight shooter. He told me a lot this morning. And I was like, damn.”

Dee: “And that’s why I wanted to do the whole group thing. And I’m sorry it felt uncomfortable.”
Melody: “No, but I get it. I’d rather have it feel uncomfortable. That’s why I started thinking about it.”
Melody: “And especially with how hard Drew was being grilled, I was like, oh, this was because they wanted to do this in front of us.”
Dee: “And just know, I don’t give a f— if people know that I’m working with you. I don’t care. If you want to play another game, I don’t care either, but you got me.”
Melody: “No, same. I don’t care. I’m not going to be playing the Drew game. Because you got me f—ed up.”

Mallory: “It’s better to just be honest about it.”
Mallory: “I guess we’ll let you talk to them.”
Dee: “Yeah, yeah, for sure. You guys have been here for a little bit.”
Melody: “Thank you. I appreciate this. Thank you for telling us everything. Literally, thank you. You have no idea.”

1:19 PM — Devens and Barrett (Storage Room)

Barrett: “I didn’t remember that I was even considered to be going up as the initial nominee.”
Devens: “That was not anything that ever happened to me. They didn’t ever mention that to me, and I dealt in with them very solidly. And he never told me that, and Yash and Kamu never told me that.”
Devens: “Made up, or not shared. And I don’t know which is worse.”

Barrett: “Like, the logic person in me just wants to say, no, we should just keep the seven. But after thinking of everything that he’s done this week — from two weeks ago even, or during Kamu’s HOH, the following week, what happened there — it’s just like, I can’t defend him.”
Devens: “Like, I talked to him and I’m like, I love him, he’s my surrogate son, it’s all good. And then it’s like — oh, he’s lied to me about eight things, and he actively tries to cause mistrust. Or inactively causes mistrust.”
Barrett: “And doesn’t even seem to defend me to my worst enemy in the game, the guy that’s wanting to put me on the block. He says he does, but then it’s like…”
Barrett: “If I wasn’t the initial nom, I was gonna be the renom. And even then, you could have told him I was — you could have lied to him and been like, he likes you.”
Devens: “Totally.”
Barrett: “And I don’t think he even did that.”

Devens: “No, it’s weird. He was freaking out. I talked to him, and he’s freaking out. He’s like, that didn’t go well. And I was like, no, man. I don’t think that went well.”
Barrett: “And now I’ve got to — yeah, I asked Dee, I was like, do you want me to act like he’s going on the block, to him?”
Barrett: “And she was like, nah, just tell him we talked about the week still. And that my name might be considered — he probably knows already.”
Devens: “But that was weird.”

Barrett: “But I just had to make sure. I was like, I don’t think Drew was going to go against what we have. I think Yash would immediately put you up again — that’s the difference.”
Barrett: “And you’re also putting them up. You’re going to lose Mallory and Melody probably, by doing that.”
Devens: “Yeah, maybe. Or for sure Melody. I don’t know if Mallory is — probably also obsessed with Drew, from what I gather anyway.”
Barrett: “I was just making sure she was, like, good with all that. But it’s just, like — how many times can you get burned by a guy that’s your closest ally?”
Devens: “Right.”

Devens: “Like, when talking with Yash, his pitch was basically — and I think he was referring to Mallory and Melody more than anybody — of people who are just, like, playing the middle hard.”
Devens: “And, like, make us think that they’re with us, and make him think that they’re with him.”
Devens: “And then when Mallory — dude, she does seem like she’s playing the middle hard.”
Barrett: “I mean, no, she seemed uncomfortable yesterday.”
Devens: “But it was so weird, because she was lying to them. But she was in the rooms with them the whole time and never with us. And it seemed like it would be the other way around.”
Barrett: “In the rooms with them all day, and then last second we’re voting out Kamu. And then sits down on the couch. I don’t know.”
Barrett: “But no, I trust those two. And I wanna trust Drew.”

Devens: “Like, I go back and forth between, he’s so sketchy — but does he have our best interest and the Crossovers’ best interest in mind? Part of me believes that he does, but it’s just so hard to deal with him.”
Barrett: “Yeah, because he voted out Kamu, no problem.”
Barrett: “But it didn’t feel like it was — it wasn’t his dirty work. It was everybody else. It was yours. It was you having to go out of your way to do all of that.”
Devens: “So I think you and I are in a very similar position. I feel like in an ideal world, no, it’s not Drew. But also, especially Dee — he tosses her name around way more than he…”
Devens: “Although, apparently, he tossed my name out too, in that HOH room.”
Devens: “So I don’t know. I just think I have more love for him than Dee might. He’s my surrogate son.”
Devens: “And even now, when he’s freaking out, I’m like, oh, buddy, you’re doing great. It’s okay. It’s a hard game. And then it’s like, wait, no — wait, you’re screwing me. Wait. Stop it.”

Barrett: “And me and Yash were talking about Drew yesterday, too. If we found commonality yesterday, it was that we both find Drew very interesting.”
Barrett: “Because he was mad at Drew for doing everything the night before and then not even telling him that it changed. And then also just, he knew that he had just bulls—ted them all night. All week, even.”
Barrett: “When we talked about Drew — me and Yash and you talked about Drew a few weeks ago, during Haley’s HOH.”
Barrett: “And it’s like, he was pushing to get Yash out for a while, and then he’s pushing…”
Barrett: “Comfortable throwing our names around, all of us. Or having our names thrown around, around him.”

Barrett: “And it is one thing to be like, oh yeah, I’m comfortable. You know, when they’re talking about Dee and Angela and everyone, and even you as the nom, I’m like, oh, I get that, I get that.”
Barrett: “But it’s like — oh, no, yeah, but, you know, you know I like Barrett. Like, I’d rather not have Barrett up there. You can at least throw things like that in there. Make them think about it. But no, instead…”
Devens: “He’s trying to, like, have his cake and eat it too.”
Barrett: “Or actively throw names out. Like, I would never put your guys’ names out of my mouth. So I just don’t know where he’s at. But I’ll let Dee figure that out.”

Devens: “Yeah, Dee wants me to talk to, like, Mallory and just see where she’s at with Drew.”
Devens: “Because even during Haley’s HOH week, when it was Melody and Drew on the block, they went out of their way to be like, yeah, Drew’s f—ing suspicious as hell.”
Devens: “And the week before, because they found it weird how much he was just going up to the enemy’s room, practically, in their eyes, and then coming back down, and then going back up.”
Barrett: “It’s wild. And then he did the same thing last week.”
Barrett: “And then Drew, I just don’t know. Part of me feels like I trust him more than a lot of people to not put me up. But he’s just f—ing Drew. He’s just Drew.”

Devens: “Yeah, I don’t know. I can’t sit here and say I would know what he would have done if it came down to an HOH in a couple weeks.”
Devens: “I think this week he would have rocked solid with putting Taylor, Lala and Yash up on the block. I feel pretty certain about that. If y’all are worried about him in the next couple weeks, I can sit here and be worried about him too.”
Devens: “I wish Drew was more of a Barrett. I feel really good about a Barrett.”
Barrett: “Thanks.”
Barrett: “I feel really good about a Devens.”
Devens: “That Diamond Power of Veto thing was crazy, but…”

Barrett: “Drew did tell me the other day — when I didn’t get dragged up to the vote conversation as a swing vote for the first time, I was like, wow. Drew was telling me that they saw the swing votes as Melody and Mallory.”
Devens: “Oh, Yash and Kamu did?”
Barrett: “Yeah. So that’s why I didn’t get dragged into any of the late-night discussions. And I was like, why don’t they think me? And he was like, oh, they think you’re Devens’ number one boy. And I was like, aw.”
Devens: “Which, sorry — that was probably my fault, for just being around you. I knew I told you I would give you distance.”
Devens: “But yeah, I think she’s going to do it, from what it seems like.”
Barrett: “Really? With who?”
Devens: “Like, with Lala and Taylor. But I told her, I got you. I support you. I do.”

Barrett: “Dee’s got you hard. Dee super has your back.”
Devens: “I know. I would literally die. I would drown with the ship if I have to at this point. I don’t care. I ain’t got anybody else really.”
Barrett: “I feel like I’m playing with house money.”
Barrett: “What up, Lala?”

Lala comes in to swap her microphone, then leaves.

Devens: “I feel like he’s a huge threat. Because he could win, and I have no doubt he’d throw me up — I stole his whole HOH and sent home his best buddy.”
Devens: “Also, I love Yash. That makes him even more dangerous to me.”
Devens: “I’ve had so much fun with him as my barber. Would hate to see that go.”
Devens: “I guess if those were the three nominees, it’d be good that he could be a backdoor. And if Dee decides she just wants to do a slap on the wrist to Drew or something, it’s like, pull him off.”
Devens: “Because I do feel like if you give Yash two chances, he’ll probably save himself one of them. He’ll probably save himself even if it’s just the Blockbuster. Especially if it was against Lala and Taylor.”

Devens: “And I do feel like Melody and Mallory were just talking with him in little whispers, and froze up when I came in.”
Devens: “I think he’s a big threat socially, all around. Obviously they like him. Why wouldn’t they? They should. I know he’s super tight with Taylor and stuff.”
Barrett: “No, I mean, me and Drew and Melody and Mallory are all super tight. We’ve had, like, our own thing, you know? And now it just seems to be the awkward thing, to blend it in with everybody.”
Devens: “And it’s like, there’s gameplay stuff, then there’s just wanting to act out movies and hang out stuff. It all sets off little alarms for everybody all the time.”

Devens: “The last thing I ever want to be is the guy who’s like, hey, they’re on the other side, don’t hang out with them. It’s like, no. I freaking stole Yash’s HOH and put Kamu on the block, and still want to play bags with them very badly.”
Devens: “Plus, that’s dickish to them. It’s like, I’m against you gameplay-wise, and also, I can’t hang out with you anymore.”
Barrett: “And also every other enjoyable thing that we can do outside of this game — nothing. We’re not going to do anything. I’m not trying to be that guy ever.”
Barrett: “How do you feel about him? About Yash?”

Barrett: “I feel like the thing that I remember us saying when we formed is, like, damn, Yash is just gonna win this game because we all like him so much. And I still feel that way, because he is so good that whenever bad things happen to him, he just keeps that good attitude.”
Devens: “100%.”
Barrett: “The most mad I saw him was with Drew yesterday in the kitchen, when he was just like, I just don’t understand why you didn’t tell me. Like, I really just don’t get why you didn’t tell me. And even then, Yash was valid.”
Devens: “100 percent.”
Barrett: “And that’s also just a detriment to Drew’s game. Maybe when you spend an entire week telling the two guys that you’re about to slight, right at the last second, about the blindside, they’re going to be a little bit mad at you.”
Barrett: “And I warned Drew about that all the time. I’m like, dude, the people in the middle don’t win in the end, because everyone feels so much more burnt by them.”
Devens: “I was like, they don’t feel burnt by me, because they know where I’m at.”

Barrett: “When I was ironing my shirt yesterday before you came in, I was like, dude, why did you trip Devens out like that? Why did you do that? And he was like, I don’t know. I don’t know. I know I, like, f—ed up.”
Barrett: “And I told him, not only are you doing that for no reason, you’re making Mallory and Melody look bad for no reason.”
Devens: “He’s the reason I’m, like, Mallory and Melody down. I thought they were — I was locked in. And now he’s got me, like, tripping. Yeah, it’s all Drew.”
Devens: “Who I still think has our best interest in mind.”
Barrett: “For the foreseeable future.”

Devens: “Very frustrating. He’s got Angela big time, I think. She seemed to have her antennas and red flags going off like crazy during that Yash conversation. Since the first week with that guy. She has been on him since the first week.”
Devens: “But I felt like it settled down a little bit, and now it’s back at the top of its game.”
Barrett: “It’s just like, God, if we all have these slight feelings about him, then — yeah, I don’t really care. I mean, I do care about him. But…”
Devens: “It is like life would be easier if he weren’t in the house. Game-wise, if he weren’t in the house.”
Devens: “I would miss him a lot, personally, if he weren’t in the house. And I don’t know that it’d be best for us for him to not be in the house. It’d just make things easier. That’s kind of where I’m at.”

Devens: “And I keep thinking about that comp last night. I’m like, man, if I had just slowed down for a second after hitting the fifth buzzer, I could have walked at a pretty slow pace to the end, hit the last buzzer, and won.”
Devens: “And I’m like, man, I wish I’d won. I wanted to win. And then I’m like, no, I don’t. I don’t want to be Dee right now. This is way better, to have Dee do it.”
Barrett: “That’s what I was thinking.”
Devens: “I’m just like, why do I keep replaying this? Like, I wanted to win. Like, this is best case scenario.”
Devens: “When I hit that fifth buzzer and got on the thing, it was, like, 35 seconds. I fell off, like, five yards maybe from the last buzzer. Not the finish buzzer, but the sixth buzzer. And then you know how close that is.”
Devens: “I fell off right there and still got back up and made it all the way to the stepping stones and back on the platform in a second run. So it’s like, I could have done this so easy.”

Devens: “I was laughing. I was like, it’s the perfect analogy for my Survivor games. I went hard, I took big risks, it was chaotic and fun to watch, and I couldn’t get to the end. I got so close, but couldn’t get to the end. It’s like, that was me.”
Barrett: “It would have been awkward. But the thing is, if this is better for the group, if it’s better for all of our games — and the people I haven’t f—ing had to feel suspicious about at any point, which is literally y’all three.”
Barrett: “Because even Mallory and Melody, I’ve had weeks before we were even solidified where I was like, I don’t know how they feel about me. But y’all, it’s like literally day two. I don’t even have to question it.”

Devens: “If she puts him up, would he be the target?”
Barrett: “She said the votes could be there to get him out. She said everyone hates him — or not hates him, sorry, that’s not the right word — everyone’s suspicious of him.”
Devens: “Yeah, everyone’s sketched out by him.”
Barrett: “So which is, like, definitely a different conversation to have. But I don’t know, at the very least, if worse comes to worst, he could be someone that’s — no. Because that veto. We’ll just be put in another position where Drew’s going to ask us to use the veto on him.”
Devens: “True. And he’ll ask you to go up for him, not me. So I got that going for me. Because he has constantly underestimated you, plus you’re better.”
Barrett: “I’m not better.”
Devens: “No, you are better at comps. You’ve been a beast. You’ve been the man. I would pick you.”

Barrett: “You’ve got to pick me when I’m the most due, when I’ve got the most to show out for.”
Devens: “He’ll be so mad when both of us are up there and we’re like, oh, vacation, high five, money, high five.”
Devens: “Dude, for real though, I don’t want that veto.”
Barrett: “No, I don’t want it. Even when I saw that she was the leader and it was just me and Melody left, I was like, I’m about to have some fun on this f—ing course. That was exactly where I was at.”
Devens: “I was like, any of these three are fine. I just want to beat Dee. I’m going balls to the wall. I did.”

Barrett: “Oh, I guess me and Yash — he did bring you up a little bit yesterday. But it was probably for the reasons you would expect. Like, you burned him, and he doesn’t know how to feel about you. But of course Yash also says, but I love him.”
Devens: “Yeah, no, I burnt him. The two times I’ve had power, I’ve gone for the most physically threatening person in the house. I can see why he’d be suspicious.”
Barrett: “Dee told me he called me the ultimate middleman. Which I’m like, wow, I’m finally…”
Devens: “He did call you the ultimate middleman, didn’t he? Yeah, I was in that talk. Sorry, I forgot about that.”

Devens: “I guess that was the first time he had pitched middlemen. But I felt like he was still more focused on — maybe because he knows you and I are good — he still seemed more focused on those girls. Maybe he felt more burnt by them.”
Barrett: “They’re also just playing the middle hardcore. Which, I mean, they practically were. They were trying to balance out all of their options and still not piss off Yash, or Melody still wanting Haley out.”
Devens: “And then Drew comes in and just freaks me out about it. I was feeling fine about that. He freaked me out about it.”
Barrett: “It’s like, Mallory literally calls Kamu poopy head. Do you think she’s going to keep him? Nah. She just was worried about how much to tell Yash and Taylor.”

Barrett: “I get why she likes Taylor. But I’m also like, I told her how many alliances Taylor has tried to form with me that have not included her.”
Devens: “The one I was in with Taylor didn’t include her. It included Yash and Kamu. So I did right by that alliance. That was dead the second she picked me for that thing. I was like, oh, okay. That’s a fake alliance.”
Barrett: “And then Taylor — I think the only conversation we really had, yesterday right before the vote, she was like, you know the plan, right? And I was like, yup. And she was like, save Kamu if he doesn’t win. And I was like, all right.”
Barrett: “Didn’t work. He got voted out. Damn, bro. I don’t know what happened. I was the one vote.”

Barrett: “But I think earlier in the week, before the veto meeting — I guess it was the night before Mosh, when we were all outside finally — she was really wanting to get rid of Dee. And that was, like, the only conversation we had.”
Devens: “Yeah, and I’m sure I probably even jumped Dee in her estimation after the Diamond Power of Veto. But after noms today, maybe Dee leapfrogs me back.”
Devens: “So it’s a fight for who Taylor will dislike the most.”
Barrett: “I did love the moment where you were just like, we’re the majority. Playing the middle is done. I’m going to get Yash.”
Devens: “Well, I just saw how worried they were. And it’s like, I don’t want to rub that in anyone’s face or anything. But it’s just like — that’s a you move, not an us move.”
Barrett: “I should slow my roll. But even they might find it appealing, especially Mallory, to be like — maybe Drew goes up and that helps your relationship with Yash a little bit more after burning him. Who knows?”
Devens: “True.”

1:43 PM — Drew joins them (Storage Room)

Drew comes in.

Devens: “Well, well, well. Oh, look, it’s the Druth.”
Drew: “It’s me.”
Devens: “The Druth walks in. How was your talk?”
Barrett: “Did you have to take your belt off or something?”
Drew: “No, I started walking and I was like, eh, they’re by my ankles.”
Devens: “Oh, you didn’t have a belt on at all?”
Drew: “No.”

Devens: “It was a continuation of just what happened last week.”
Drew: “Do we trust Drew?”
Devens: “Not in specifics, do we trust Drew. But just getting more info on last week, really. I mean, definitely was an interesting meeting.”
Drew: “I know, I dropped the ball for sure. I was already telling Devens — not a great showing by the kid, for sure.”
Devens: “The kid.”
Barrett: “The baby boy. The baby boy, put on the spot.”
Drew: “Yeah. Should I go talk to her again?”
Barrett: “Yeah, yeah, for sure. I haven’t talked to her.”

Drew: “Yeah, well, guys, I know actions speak louder than words, but I feel like my words fumbled in there.”
Devens: “I don’t think there’s anything that you did that can’t be recovered in any way.”
Drew: “I know, but it would have been better to air it out there. I just felt weird. I already told him this.”
Drew: “I felt like public humiliation, bullying, if I was just like, Yash, you’re a liar. But it would have been better for me, obviously, if I just said that.”
Devens: “It could have been cool. But I get that that’s awkward.”
Drew: “Yeah. Maybe I’m not the confrontational type.”
Devens: “I am, you jerk. See what I did? I was being confrontational.”

Devens: “But no, definitely just go talk to her again.”
Drew: “Yeah, I will. It’s fine. I don’t know. I just felt bad. I feel like I hurt Angela’s feelings.”
Drew: “Anyways, I’ll talk to you. Peace out, guys.”
Devens: “Bye, Drew.”

Drew leaves.

Devens: “Dead man walk — no, I’m just kidding. I’m just kidding. Green Mile reference.”
Barrett: “I thought he was doing so well the last…”
Devens: “I know, he chilled out a little bit.”

Barrett: “I was talking to Dee after you came down, after he freaked you out, after he tripped you out. And she was like, I hadn’t seen him that mad since the Doritos. And I was like, I feel like I saw him almost get that way with Drew one other time.”
Devens: “Outside.”
Barrett: “Outside.”
Devens: “I guess three times in 45 days isn’t too — although yesterday, when Dee opened the bathroom door on me even though it said in use and other people were saying there’s someone in there, I did go, God damn it!”

Barrett: “I’ll never forget that conversation in the backyard, though. It was just me and you. We were going to talk about saving Mallory, potentially. And we sat down, and not five seconds later, you slid that door open and said, I don’t want him to be here for this.”
Devens: “I didn’t even remember that.”
Barrett: “You said it so quickly.”
Devens: “I don’t want him to be here for this. And it’s always like that. Like, today I was talking with Dee, and the doorbell rang, and I was like, it’s Drew. And it wasn’t Drew, it was Angela. But I’m just always sure it’s going to be Drew.”

Barrett: “Were you really okay with all the joking we did about your power, when you totally had a power the entire time?”
Devens: “Oh, yeah. It takes some of the power away from other people saying it. It’s like an open joke about it. So no, I never felt weird about it.”
Devens: “And honestly, truthfully, the whole time that you guys were giving me trouble about the power — oh yeah, you don’t have a power, sure — I’ve been doing that same s— to Dee.”
Devens: “So I was like, I can’t really get upset about it, because I’m like, okay, Dee. No power for you. It’s like, I don’t have the power, and if she doesn’t, it’ll be even funnier.”
Devens: “But yeah, she definitely has one. So I’m like, yeah, I think she’s got the power for sure.”
Barrett: “Has not once said today that she’s hoping to get a power.”

1:48 PM — Drew comes back with a power (Storage Room)

Drew comes back in.

Devens: “Oh, did you just get a power?”
Drew: “I did.”
Devens: “That was quick. It took me longer.”
Drew: “It’s a double Diamond Veto. Twice as good as your Diamond Veto — one for each pocket. I was like, f— your diamonds, I got two of them.”

Drew: “I actually did get one, though.”
Barrett: “Sweet.”
Drew: “Never Not Pass.”
Barrett: “You’re lying. What’s a Never Not Pass?”
Drew: “I don’t get to be a have-not now.”

Barrett: “What, you actually got one?”
Drew: “Yeah. Like, literally right now. Out there — that’s what they called me in for.”
Drew: “A cooler power, though. I was like, okay, it’s great to have the love from America, but… it’s not the coup d’état, which means all the powers are on our side.”
Drew: “I’m not gonna say s— to anybody. I want Taylor or Yash to know, because I want them to pick me to be a have-not next week and be like —”
Barrett: “Well, I guess we know have-nots are around next week.”
Devens: “Well, congrats. That’s exciting.”

Devens: “So if we’re right about Dee, that is cool that we’re in an alliance with all of America’s chosen people. They should be rooting for our alliance.”
Drew: “So I was actually going to go up there and tell Dee, hey, don’t worry about Yash. I have a power.”
Drew: “But don’t tell the girls. I’m going to do it for the girls.”
Drew: “Do you think Melody and Mallory will tell Taylor and Lala? Because I’d want them to pick me next week as a have-not, and me be like, mm-mm-mm.”
Devens: “Why would you do that? Because otherwise, I think Yash and Angela and Melody will just volunteer.”
Drew: “True.”
Devens: “But maybe there’s still have-nots the week after that. You might want to hold on to it.”
Drew: “No, I can’t be it forever.”

Barrett: “Oh, forever. You’ll never see Drew in that room again. Which is funny, because you did it for no reason last week.”
Drew: “And I was like, honestly, the best prize for me is, he gets to be well-rested, eat lots of food, and make sure that his hair is nice and cool. I was like, thanks, America.”
Devens: “Bad news for you, bananas.”
Drew: “And when I hit it, it was Power Three, and it was, like, Never Not. And I was like, have-not kind of sounds like never not.”
Devens: “Which were the other powers that were going? Did you notice? I think mine was Power Five.”
Drew: “I got three, I think.”
Devens: “It’s probably just totally random.”
Drew: “Yeah, I literally was sitting there going, like, I’m not telling anybody. And I was like, my power is meaningless.”

Drew: “So I’m hoping you guys believe me now that I’ve been working with you since the beginning. Because they wouldn’t give me one if I was a traitor.”
Devens: “I believe you.”
Drew: “Which could be a great rebuttal for what happened.”
Drew: “But yeah, guys, really — highs and lows. Went in there really low, and I was like, cool. Guys, I am working with you, I swear. America would have given me one.”

Devens: “I guess people weren’t as impressed as they’re supposed to be with her winning the wall. I thought she was supposed to be the favorite from now on. She definitely thinks that.”
Barrett: “I mean, it was really impressive.”
Barrett: “I can’t believe I’m the least liked member of the Crossover alliance. This is real f—ed up, America.”
Drew: “Dude, you’re low-key right.”
Devens: “There’s still a chance they hate Dee.”
Drew: “If it makes you feel better, you’re also the least favorite in Mosh Pit.”

Devens: “But only by America. But we love you.”
Devens: “I mean, I guess I like you more than Drew, but he’s my son and I love him. But you’re kind of like my big brother.”
Devens: “I love you both and like you both. Equally.”

2:30 PM — Mallory and Melody (Hammock)

Mallory: “What do you think he’s gonna say?”
Melody: “To us? Or to her?”
Mallory: “Both.”
Melody: “I don’t know, but I’m f—ing pissed.”
Mallory: “Same.”
Melody: “My thing is, though — I still don’t want anyone to leave.”
Mallory: “Same.”
Melody: “So we just need to keep that in mind.”

Melody: “I don’t know where to go from this, because — I know this isn’t probably what you want to hear, but I hope you believe her.”
Mallory: “I believe her, too.”
Melody: “Not even just, like, about the Drew stuff. Which is, like, in general.”
Melody: “I don’t want to do the Icons’ dirty work for them, either.”
Mallory: “I just think… I do think they will flip it on us.”
Melody: “I agree.”
Mallory: “Like, they already kind of are.”

Melody: “I trust Devens, but they’re working together, so it doesn’t really matter.”
Melody: “I don’t know. I guess we’ll have to see what he says to us before we say anything to him, because I don’t know what to even say to him. Because I’m pissed, but also…”
Melody: “So that’s what I was telling Dee. I was, like, trying to mention the fact that, yeah, maybe Drew can air out all this s— and basically start clean. Because, like, I’m not going to vote out Drew.”
Mallory: “Me neither. What’s good is that maybe Drew will go after the Icons.”
Melody: “Yeah. Exactly.”
Mallory: “And we just need more people to do that.”

Mallory: “I feel like if we told him that that’s the only way we would trust him, he would do it.”
Melody: “I’m just f—ing irritated.”
Mallory: “No, me too. And I don’t like that he said we’ll do whatever he said.”
Melody: “No, b—-, because you got me f—ed up. Like, genuinely. But it’s also, like, we have to think about this. Because, like, I am really mad.”
Mallory: “He could have been saying it in a way to, like, reassure them that everything is gonna be fine.”
Melody: “Yeah. It definitely could have been, like, twisted. But honestly, I can’t see him saying that.”
Mallory: “But I could see him saying it in a way of, like, no, don’t worry, they’re just gonna do whatever I say.”
Melody: “Yeah. No, I get that, too.”

Mallory points out that this would be the third time one of their allies has gone out at the hands of an Icon.

Melody: “What do you think Barrett thinks about all of this? Have you talked to him?”
Mallory: “I haven’t. But what they could be doing is making the house target Drew, which would break up our four.”
Melody: “I’m not down for that.”
Mallory: “Yeah, me neither. But other people are.”
Melody: “Definitely. That’s the issue. We want to have the numbers to save him.”
Melody: “He would literally have to pull it off himself. Which — I mean, he could.”

Melody: “I mean, it would be devastating if he did go home. That would f— us up.”
Mallory: “Yeah.”
Melody: “Like, I don’t want that.”
Melody: “But yeah, I agree. And the fact that she said that she wasn’t really going to put up Haley — it’s bothersome to me.”
Mallory: “That’s weird.”

2:36 PM — Barrett, then Drew, join them (Hammock)

Barrett comes over to the hammock.

Barrett: “How are y’all?”
Melody: “Dude, can you swing us?”
Barrett: “Yeah, are we allowed to do that now?”
Mallory: “Yeah.”
Barrett: “Yay.”
Production: “Stop that.”
Melody: “But you guys said you were gonna fix it so it can be swung on.”

Melody: “I need to smash the s— out of something.”
Barrett: “What?”
Mallory: “I don’t know. It’s okay.”
Melody: “How did — you talked to Dee, right? How did that go?”
Barrett: “I mean, it felt like just a continuation of the grand meeting. She just wanted to know more about last week. Not that I could say much, especially about the night-before s—.”
Barrett: “Definitely sus of Drew.”
Mallory: “What did she say?”
Barrett: “She said she thinks everyone is sus of Drew. She doesn’t understand why he can’t say it to Yash when he’s in the room.”

Production: “Please stop singing.”
Production: “Sorry.”
Barrett: “I mean, she was also just making sure he was good with all of us still, just because she knows he can go back and forth.”
Barrett: “And didn’t know for sure that he wasn’t just tossing out any of their names willingly, or not putting up a fight for them last week. Like, almost like with Yash and Kamu being a part of pushing her name over and over again.”
Melody: “How do you feel?”
Barrett: “I mean, I told Drew as much the other day. Like, you can’t — definitely watch how many times you go up to the HOH room and come back down during a given week, because that was what he got in trouble for a few weeks ago.”
Barrett: “But I also know, I trust Drew, so that’s why I also told you. Even if you find him, like — it’s not like he isn’t loyal to what we’re doing.”

Barrett: “Did y’all talk to her about yourselves yet?”
Melody: “Yeah. She basically said the same thing to us. So I think he’s going to go up, though.”
Barrett: “I wouldn’t be surprised.”
Melody: “But that is scary, though, because that’s going to be a long, hard week. Because I’m not voting Drew out. But I know a lot of people would.”
Melody: “And, like, I don’t want to lose a member of FAP. Obviously not. Actually, that’s a hardcore all-caps f— no.”
Melody: “So I don’t know. He did put himself in a f—ed up situation, and I told him that this was gonna happen and he didn’t f—ing listen to me. I was like, you’re doing too much.”

Melody: “But I mean, if he’s up there against Taylor and Lala, he could win a veto, he could win a Blockbuster.”
Barrett: “Easily, yeah.”
Melody: “But it is concerning to me, because I don’t know where we four would stand with the Icons. Because I don’t want the Icons to turn on us next.”
Barrett: “Yeah. I mean, that’s asking a lot of us.”
Melody: “Well, I wouldn’t do it regardless.”
Mallory: “Yeah, me neither. But it might not matter.”
Barrett: “I wonder if you just talked to him.”

Drew comes over.

Mallory: “What’s up?”
Drew: “What’s up, gang?”
Mallory: “We’re not allowed to swing on the hammock again.”
Drew: “They told you to stop?”
Barrett: “Yeah, they just said it.”
Drew: “Really? They said stop that.”
Melody: “Did you talk to Dee? What’d she say?”

Drew: “Um, she’s, like, sussed out because of the meeting. But I think she feels better about it when I explained it. But we’ll see.”
Drew: “She still has to talk to other people. But at the end of the day, was that meeting a great showing for me? Like, no. It didn’t help my case at all. I didn’t speak very well. And I sounded super, like, confused.”
Barrett: “It was quite an awkward situation.”
Mallory: “Yeah.”
Drew: “I was like, I’m just not really a big confrontation guy. And I felt bad about blowing his ass up all last week and then, like, airing him out again.”

Drew: “But what about you guys? Seems like she really likes you guys.”
Mallory: “I think we’ll be okay.”
Drew: “Oh, without a doubt. So is Barrett. But… I don’t know about me.”
Melody: “I don’t know either.”
Mallory: “Yeah, I don’t know either.”
Melody: “But also, at the end of the day, it’s F-A-P. Like, we’ll fight for you.”
Drew: “Oh, yeah.”
Melody: “But, like, also if you’re up there next to Taylor and Lala —”

Mallory: “You can win.”
Drew: “Yeah, I know. I just don’t think that meeting was great for me.”
Melody: “No, I don’t think it was either. And I think if you do go up, you’re going to have to be confrontational.”
Melody: “Because if you end up somehow, in the world, not winning and getting yourself off the block, I don’t know if we have the numbers.”
Drew: “Oh, we definitely don’t.”
Melody: “Just genuinely speaking. I mean, you would have us three, but you wouldn’t — and maybe even four, if you could get Dee to trust you. If you can prove to her.”

Drew: “No, I know. I think we had a good convo. But, you know. I think Yash cooked me on that. I’ll give him props.”
Mallory: “I don’t think he meant to. Like, I don’t think he meant to.”
Drew: “No, he just spoke better than I did.”
Drew: “I, like, should have put my foot down a little bit more. But I felt genuinely bad for, like, f—ing airing his s— out in front of everybody, and also lying to his face all last week.”
Drew: “And I was like, am I really going to kick this kid while he’s down? That’s how I felt. In a group in front of people, I was like, this feels like bullying.”

Production: “Yash, please go to the dining room downstairs.”
Mallory: “I might have to go inside. I’m so hot.”
Melody: “Yeah, I’m gonna go in the shade or in the pool.”
Mallory: “Okay, you get off first.”
