Drew’s Mind Is Made Up — Dee, Devens And Taylor Do The Jury Math Anyway

Drew told Dee on Wednesday morning that his mind was made up before he won the veto. By early afternoon she had passed that along to Taylor and to Devens, and all three spent the day doing jury math anyway. Taylor coached Dee on the case to make to Drew. Devens asked Taylor what she would claim at the final two, and brought her answer straight to Dee.

Where the week stands: Final four: Taylor, Drew, Dee and Devens. Taylor is Head of Household. Drew holds the final veto, which takes him off the block and puts Devens up next to Dee. Drew casts the only vote on Thursday. Lala, Angela, Barrett, Yash and Melody are in the jury.

Drew says the decision is already made. To Dee, just before 11:30: “I’ve heard pretty much all three of you guys, and I’m like, nothing’s really changed my mind.” Eight minutes earlier, on Taylor: “I don’t know who I’m picking yet, but I would take either one of you over her.”

Dee’s pitch is the jury. Keep her and Drew has two paths to the final two. Keep Devens and he loses at the end. Dee: “You will lose if you’re next to Devens.” Drew: “Anybody will.”

Taylor is scripting Dee’s case. Taylor’s argument: keeping Devens is “signing up for second place,” and cutting him at the final three would send him straight to the jury vote still angry. Then she tells Dee: “So I’m telling you what you can say.”

Taylor’s résumé is already under attack. Asked by Devens what she would take credit for at the final two, Taylor named Lyric and the vote to keep Dee. Devens to Dee: “That really just shows how out of the loop you were.”

Where the split is: Dee and Devens don’t know which way Drew goes. Devens: “I really don’t know where he’s going.” Dee has already planned for losing: if she goes, she skips the hug with Devens and hugs the other two instead.

11:18 AM — Drew and Dee (Bathroom)

Dee makes her pitch.

Dee: “You’re still betting on yourself to beat me and Taylor. And that’s a higher probability.”
Drew: “Yeah, no, I do believe you would take me, though. 100% I’d take you.”
Dee: “But before we get there, it still needs to happen. So would you rather someone take you or you make the choice? Kind of like right now.”
Drew: “Have someone take me or me make the choice? In the final three comps.”
Dee: “Oh, yeah. With me, you have a chance of winning.”
Drew: “But Devens, he could take you. I could still beat Devens as well, but yeah.”
Dee: “You are not going to beat Devens.”
Drew: “Not in a vote, but in, like, the… Oh, I see. Okay, I see what you’re saying. It’s a toss-up.”

Drew: “Because I don’t think you can beat Taylor. I think she has too many friends. And too many people don’t like you.”
Dee: “I don’t care. Which is perfect. Take me. I don’t care if people don’t like me. I really don’t. I just want to have the experience. I am okay no matter what happens.”
Drew: “I wonder who Taylor would take out of the two of us. I think she’d take you.”
Dee: “I don’t know. If you’re telling me that I’d f—ing lose, what the hell? I don’t know. I really don’t.”
Drew: “No, I just think Taylor has too many friends.”
Dee: “Like, Lala would vote for her. She does have friends. Yash would vote for her.”
Drew: “Barrett wouldn’t vote for you. No, 100%. He wouldn’t.”
Dee: “But I’m okay with that.”

Drew: “Melody would probably want to vote for you.”
Dee: “I’m not okay with you sitting next to her.”
Drew: “I’m not okay with you sitting next to her either… I don’t know who I’m picking yet, but I would take either one of you over her.”
Dee: “Yeah, of course. Well, she’s a great speaker, too.”
Drew: “When it’s time to lock in, she… You’ve won a jury before.”
Dee: “Yeah, I have.”
Drew: “You’re also a great speaker. But so is Devens. It’s Devens’ job to speak on the news.”

Drew
“I don’t know who I’m picking yet, but I would take either one of you over her.”

Dee: “I have way more enemies here than I did on 45. But, yeah, I mean, listen, I’m not going to start bulls—ting you or talking s— about Devens, because I obviously love him.”
Dee: “But as a player and a friend… Mostly a player. I hope you make the decision that you’re betting on yourself more so than doing what’s easy.”
Dee: “And as a friend, I’m telling you, you will lose if you’re next to Devens.”
Drew: “Anybody will. We all lose next to Devens.”

Drew
“Anybody will. We all lose next to Devens.”

Dee: “There really is nothing else to promise other than the final two if I were to win. But even then, that’s a little bit low, to be honest, if it’s with puzzles and stuff. But I’m okay with it.”
Dee: “I was crying because it was just the dramatics of it… And you have to make the choice. That’s what I was crying about. But if I even go home tomorrow, it’s not a big deal.”
Drew: “I don’t think either of you guys should be mad at me.”
Dee: “You guys have played games before, and you guys know how this goes, and I do think you guys genuinely love me… Unfortunately, fortunately, the little weasel has made his way into my heart.”
Dee: “I never understood how I can feel like a big sister, for real, and it’s pretty cool. Definitely having three kids now.”
Drew: “You are?”

Dee
“Unfortunately, fortunately, the little weasel has made his way into my heart.”

Drew: “Damn, I’m sorry. You should name one of them Andres.”
Dee: “I do like that name. Andres. And my parents can say it… Andresito. Andresito. Maybe I would.”
Dee: “Because all I’ve known is being the little sister, you know? F—, my brother has had so much fun with me.”
Drew: “You’ve had fun with me too, bro. I know, it’s been fun. Two months of me having an older sister. It’s been fun.”

Drew: “I do think either one of you would take me. I don’t think that’s the thing I’m worried about.”
Dee: “What are you worried about then?”
Drew: “The only way I think I could get to the end, like, the final two, is, like, I have to just win.”
Dee: “Well, you have to win or one of us has to win. So you got two… Two paths, which, honestly, is f—ing phenomenal.”
Dee: “Just because we’re right there doesn’t mean the game is over… Somebody not only goes, but we have to still compete.”
Dee: “But you have more paths with me. You get what I’m saying? Versus Devens. Cool, I’ll take you to the end. You’re going to lose.”

Dee: “And listen, there is still a world that Taylor can win. That would be the worst possible outcome for any of us. She could still win. Because I don’t want to lose next to Taylor.”
Dee: “I almost would hope that she takes you, so that you can get it. Because I wouldn’t be okay with myself if she takes me, personally. That’s embarrassing.”
Dee: “If she takes me, I would hope all of you guys would still vote for me, because there’d be four of us in there. But I don’t know if Angela would. I don’t know where the jury’s heads at.”
Dee: “You have to keep in mind how hurt everyone is as well, and who they are and how they process their feelings. Because maybe one of us can hurt somebody, but then they go to the jury and they’re not as hurt. But other people will take it with them for the rest of their lives.”

Dee: “I trust, like, for whatever reason, and you don’t have to tell me, it does feel like you make the right decision for your game. Not what someone else wants you to do.”
Dee: “I mean, I want you to do that also. We both want you to keep us.”
Drew: “Yeah, exactly.”
Dee: “Obviously you, him and Barrett have been super, super close. You were in alliance, so it just makes sense.”
Drew: “We were also in alliance.”
Dee: “Yeah, but you guys had a thing too. It makes sense why you’d take him, but that would be a very emotional move. But like I said, dude, even if you don’t… Whatever you decide, you’re always going to be in my life. Whether you like it or not.”
Drew: “I’m not worried about losing you guys… I don’t think whatever I do tomorrow is going to change how you guys feel about me on a personal level.”

Dee: “It hurts my heart that you’re in this position. Because you’re still going to hurt one of us… I don’t envy you, because if I was in your position, it would be so hard to cut him. But I would have done it, because I can’t win next to him… I would bet on myself.”
Drew: “No. I honestly, my mind has been made up even before I won the veto.”
Dee: “Listen, whatever you do, it’s going to be hard. Because right now, it’s still a day. It hasn’t set in. Sunk in, I guess… And I would never speak bad about him.”
Drew: “There’s nothing to speak bad about either of you guys. You haven’t done anything wrong. But yeah, I’ve heard pretty much all three of you guys, and I’m like, nothing’s really changed my mind.”
Drew: “I do know what I’m going to do. And, like, even before the veto, I knew what I was going to do.”
Dee: “Yeah, it’s a moment to separate emotion and game, for sure. Like, to lock in more as a player versus a person.”

Drew
“My mind has been made up even before I won the veto.”

Drew: “But I wanted it so bad.”
Dee: “Phenomenal spot.”
Drew: “I didn’t want the HOH. I wanted it. I was obviously gunning for it. I wanted to win it.”
Drew: “Because the first round, I did the puzzle, but, like, I f—ed up the second one. But this is, like, more important.”
Drew: “Like, this is such a Taylor HOH to win, where it’s like, cool, now I don’t have to make another decision. I just immediately go.”
Dee: “I was telling Devens this morning, I’m like, I’m so happy you’re the one doing that. Like, you’re the one making the decision between us… Like, if it would have been Taylor again, would have hurt me.”

A few minutes later, the alliance.

Dee: “You know what, though? At one point for season 45 of Survivor, they hated the alliance I was in, too… Because we stuck together.”
Drew: “Yeah, but the thing about ours is, like, we kind of did.”
Dee: “Even if we did, there were a lot of ups and downs.”
Drew: “There was a lot of weird s— that was going on. Like, there wasn’t a lot of trust, but there was, but there wasn’t.”
Drew: “Everybody would get in their own head. It’s like, you know, what do we expect when you’re in alliance with Angela? Like, she’s going, the paranoia will be contagious.”
Drew: “And then when it was my HOH and we put Devens up, she was like, I don’t know if this is a good idea. I’m like, we’re f—ed. Dude, relax.”
Drew: “And then she was actually right. She was actually right, which is the funniest thing. She was right. Well, I was like, damn, Angela, you’re actually right. F—ing Barrett, man. He was just always waiting. That pisses me off.”

Dee: “I get what you guys were saying, that he should stand by it, because even if it did get him out, he did try to make a move.”
Drew: “Yeah. It’s like, you can’t fault somebody for trying to do something… It didn’t pan out the way he wanted it.”
Dee: “But personally, I told him what was going to happen. And he thought I was bulls—ting him, dude.”
Drew: “I think he was just hoping I would win the HOH and be like, we have to keep going. And we have to take them all out. But it’s like, I don’t think I would have done that. I would have let his ship sink.”
Dee: “As sad as I feel for him because he’s out, I could live with myself because I mentioned what would happen.”

Drew: “I always felt like you all three were closer to Barrett than you were closer to me. I never felt like… I always felt like if it came down to final five, I would be fifth.”
Dee: “No, that’s crazy. Because… No, there’s no way. Barrett was a lot sweeter, and I loved his Uggs, but he’s not, like, a strategist. He’s not someone that you can really play with.”
Drew: “But that’s such a good reason to keep him over me.”
Dee: “Oh, I never even thought that.”
Drew: “The person who would have benefited the most if it was the top five, us, was Devens.”
Drew: “He was in the best spot. And I would tell him that, and he’s like, I don’t know what you think. I don’t know why you think that. And I’m like, Devens, I know you have the Diamond Power of Veto. Where’s that $10,000?”

Dee: “That’s so funny. So you didn’t take the 10K?”
Drew: “No. Okay. Did you?”
Dee: “No, I didn’t even press the damn button.”
Drew: “It’s got to be Devens or Taylor.”
Dee: “I don’t think Taylor pressed it. She seemed very, like… I can see her not pressing it.”
Drew: “All I knew, I was like, someone’s pressing this button, and it doesn’t matter who’s pressing it, people are going to think it was me.”

Later, the age gap.

Drew: “That’s seven years. That’s a long time. That’s a third of my life.”
Dee: “I remember being 22 and thinking, that’s old as f—.”
Drew: “Yeah, but I also think, like, 30 to, like, 40 is, like, peak life.”
Dee: “20s are fun because you can make… you should be making those mistakes… 30s, I’m sure, will be really fun. You have your friendships, things are a little bit more stable, you’ve got a little more change in your pocket.”
Drew: “It is funny that you were the first person in this game that, like, I was like, listen, like, I’m ready to rock this.”
Dee: “I was immediately down. When you said that Chuk comment, I was like, oh, wow, he views people the same way I do.”
Drew: “You could have been like, f— this kid, put him on the block immediately.”

Drew: “I would love to see what people thought of you and me, dude, because it’s so damn dysfunctional.”
Dee: “It’s going to be funny because no matter what, the love is there for both of us.”
Drew: “It’s a lot of love and a lot of hate.”
Dee: “No, not hate. I wouldn’t use that.”
Drew: “Frustration. Frustration is probably a better word.”
Dee: “I’ve been through a whole rollercoaster of emotions in this damn house.”

1:22 PM — Dee and Taylor (HOH)

Dee has music on in the HOH.

Dee: “I talked to Drew this morning again. Obviously, I don’t know what he’s going to do.”
Taylor: “I just know that Devens said he doesn’t want to overwhelm him.”
Dee: “The one thing he did tell me was, even before he won the veto, he already knew what he was going to do. Which is fair, but that also tells me there’s nothing I could say. If his mind’s made up.”
Taylor: “It’s late in the game. You’ve got to know what you’re going to do. It ain’t too many people to choose from or to consider or options. It’s cut and dry right now. He knows. I know he’s not dumb. He said it. He knows what the winning decision is.”
Dee: “Can he separate that emotion… But he kind of has to if he wants to win. That’s a lot of money to be emotional about.”

Taylor: “I just feel like Devens is going to get rid of his ass any chance he got. He just hadn’t had the chance.”
Taylor: “If Drew was ever sitting on that block, unless it was early in the game, Drew was going to go home. And Devens was going to be a vote for it. So he needs to understand that for sure.”
Dee: “I think even deeper than that is just, like, you are going to lose.”
Taylor: “You’re going to lose. You’re signing up for second place.”
Dee: “There is no path, you know what I mean?”
Taylor: “He signed up for second place, which is fine if that’s what you want. But if he… Unless he don’t take you and he drops Devens before the thing.”

Taylor
“You’re going to lose. You’re signing up for second place.”

Dee: “Dropping somebody in the final three is not a move.”
Taylor: “Take me to final two and then drop Devens, but now you done pissed off Devens.”
Dee: “He will be pissed off.”
Taylor: “And Devens do react to stuff like that. He pops off. And he won’t have time to reconsider it.”
Dee: “There’s less time in the jury to decompress.”
Taylor: “Exactly. He don’t have time to decompress.”

Dee: “Does he go straight to roundtable?”
Taylor: “He don’t go to roundtable.”
Dee: “Oh, he doesn’t even do roundtable.”
Taylor: “If he takes that, if he drops you, and say he wins HOH, and he say, you know what, I do win. And he drops Devens, Devens walks straight out and votes… Devens is still mad.”
Dee: “Yeah, he will be. Because he’s thinking about his family and everything. I mean, I get it, dude. So you got to do it now so he can forgive you.”
Taylor: “A week. To let it go and get his vote back.”

Taylor: “Devens just said, you usually vote for people who play like you. So if you drop him now, these are the points for you. If you drop him now. Because I don’t want to be the one to push you.”
Dee: “Yeah, because, I mean, he’s going to think you’re telling him what to do for your own benefit.”
Taylor: “So I’m telling you what you can say.”
Taylor: “But if he drops him now, he’s going to be able to respect it… instead of you dropping him later.”
Taylor: “He’s going to be emotional going on that stage. And you see how he get when he’s upset, emotional. He just start doing s—.”
Taylor: “You’re going to give somebody 20 minutes who’s just about to win the game?… Your final vote? The final vote that you would need?”
Taylor: “No, you got to let him go now, because he will be able to process it and understand it, because he plays very similar.”

Taylor
“So I’m telling you what you can say.”

Dee: “Yeah, I’ll definitely talk to him, like, tonight. Just wait till tonight… Because I did talk to him this morning.”
Taylor: “Literally, all I can tell him is, what else can I tell him? None. You ain’t telling him the s— I’m telling you.”

1:35 PM — Devens and Dee (Gym)

Dee comes looking for Devens.

Dee: “I looked for you all over… I have an idea.”
Dee: “If I do go home, I’m not hugging you. I will figure out what to say. And I’ll hug Drew and Taylor so that they think I’m pissed off at you. But just so you know, okay? So you’re not, like, caught by surprise. That’s it. That’s my idea.”
Devens: “Could you explain this to me?”
Dee: “So that they f—ing take you over each other. If that’s the case.”
Devens: “Got you.”
Dee: “It’s not a very brilliant idea, but I don’t want you to be blindsided by it.”
Devens: “I would. I’d be like, what the f—?”
Devens: “So I should take out the nice things about you in my speech?”

Dee: “I haven’t come up with a speech either, but… And I was planning on saying nice things, but now that you mentioned that, it’s probably better. Well, I’m going to say something nice. I have to. Right?”
Devens: “Yeah, I guess before the decision, it makes sense to say something. So if I’m out, you don’t want a hug?”
Dee: “Well, I’m going to be pissed. You can do whatever the hell you want, but I don’t want you to be blindsided by it.”
Devens: “Dee, don’t worry. I got you no matter what.”
Devens: “I really don’t know where he’s going.”
Dee: “He could go either way. I talked to him this morning, and he said that even before he won the veto, he already knew what he was going to do. So whatever I say, whatever you say, he has his mind made up.”

Devens has been downstairs with Taylor.

Devens: “I was just talking with Tay downstairs, and she was… We were talking about this HOH, and I was like… She was like, it’s the best HOH to win because I don’t make anyone mad. And I’m like, that’s true. I was like, but also it’s kind of a bummer because you don’t get any credit for who goes home.”
Devens: “I was like, if you get to the final two, who would you say you’ve been responsible for? And she just, like, racked her brain, racked her brain. And then she’s like, Lyric, which is funny because that’s not true at all.”
Dee: “I mean, she thinks it’s true in her mind.”
Devens: “And then she was like, and then the, you know, the Dee vote.”
Dee: “Like the Dee vote?”
Devens: “Like to keep you.”
Dee: “Bruh, that is…”
Devens: “Interesting.”

Dee: “Listen, I mean, this is the best position for Drew to be in because he’s taking out one of us. Although it’s still a move, but is it really a f—ing game-changing move?”
Devens: “And I don’t know that it sways anybody… Like, people at this point… I know, from jury… I think are in their different camps.”
Dee: “I do think the people in the jury are looking at us to win… And I know you said Drew would have, like, Barrett, but, okay, yeah, cool, one or two votes.”
Devens: “Barrett and Melody.”
Dee: “But would a jury really vote, not vote for one of us?”
Devens: “Yeah, and I mean, that’s what he tells us.”

Devens: “I can’t get here soon enough… I’m like, they haven’t given us our suitcases. I’m like, I want my suitcase.”
Dee: “Oh, that’s right. That’s like something to do.”
Devens: “It’s like I can at least pack, take a shower, do this. Because again, what’s talking to Drew going to do?”
Devens: “I mean, you feel like you should be playing the game right now… Because it’s like my life’s on the line. I should be playing the game, and there’s nothing to do.”
Dee: “Thank God it’s only two days. Thank God… Can you imagine freaking Thursday night, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday? Hell no.”

Devens
“My life’s on the line. I should be playing the game, and there’s nothing to do.”

Devens: “It’s going to be really interesting if Tay gets to the final two, to hear what she has to say for her game. It’s like, I never made any of you all mad. It’s like, that’s not even true.”
Dee: “I think had she been around more, she could have had a case… When it was Lala, when it was Yash, she was there. But, like, where the hell have you been when everything else has happened?”
Devens: “And even, like, the one move you’re trying to claim is Lyric, and that really just shows how out of the loop you were.”
Dee: “I mean, I guess if you make it to the end, you still have to try to claim something… But then again, you’re claiming it to people that played with you.”
Devens: “And especially since you and I are in the jury, we’ll make it very clear what happened on that Lyric before the end… So that when she brings that up, everyone will be like, oh, that’s not how it went.”

On a Drew–Taylor final two.

Devens: “I would think all the Crossover people would go for him, and that’s all it needs.”
Devens: “I can even see Yash going for him… Yash is kind of a wild card, because you do want to go with your closest person, but… I don’t think that’s a game he respects either.”
Dee: “Damn, but I kind of get it, because if, like, let’s say you hadn’t played a good game, and you’re a final two, I would vote for you. Just because you’re my person.”
Dee: “At least with Drew and Taylor, Drew knew what was happening. He was always in the in, staying up till 5:30 a.m., working.”
Devens: “Hustling. Hustling every day. Always hustling. Like they could not be more different.”
Dee: “And then he still had really great relationships. He still got himself out of s—. He was going to go home a lot. He freaking won when he needed to win. He has a résumé.”
Devens: “He was on the block five times and saved himself every time. She was on the block five times and no one ever cared enough to vote her out.”

Devens
“He was on the block five times and saved himself every time. She was on the block five times and no one ever cared enough to vote her out.”

Then Melody.

Devens: “She’s like, I was on the block and I didn’t go home. I’m a good social player. My eye is twitching just hearing that. No, Melody. You were not a good social player.”
Dee: “You spent the same time with three people.”
Devens: “And we could never peel you away from Mallory. Never. And then she left and we couldn’t peel you away from Drew.”
Devens: “It’s crazy that we both made it… this deep into the game.”
Dee: “What an accomplishment, dude. What an accomplishment… Genuinely, any Survivor after us is so f—ed. Pre-jury.”
Devens: “We were lucky that most of them didn’t watch Survivor. But most of these people watch Big Brother. And so they’ll know. Like, we can’t let Survivor people through. They’re crazy.”
Dee: “There’s no way, bro. We are freaking insane, and we will hustle our way in. We will figure the f— out.”

Devens: “And Drew’s played a great game.”
Dee: “He has. That little freaking weasel, he has. And he’s also poured his heart into the game.”
Devens: “He was never, like, just mopey and angry about circumstances.”
Dee: “We’ve seen him cry. We’ve seen him laugh. He always joins in on fights, and then he loves the drama. He loves this game. And that weighs heavy.”

And Taylor again.

Devens: “Zingbot came in and told you you’re spending too much time in your pod. Adjust. Still stayed. Your comic came in and told you you’re spending too much time in your pod. Adjust. And she’s still up three hours later than any of us this morning.”
Dee: “Not this morning. Since then. Every morning.”
Dee: “Like, if Zingbot told me that, I’d wake the f— up.”
Devens: “Million percent. If I could stop being a wrinkly leathery bag, I would have.”
Dee: “Exactly. Why the f— haven’t you done that yet?”
Devens: “I tried. They gave me skin stuff in my HOH… I’ve been putting it on, but I just got it last week.”
Dee: “No, you need time. You need like three months.”

Dee: “I know when Zingbot hit me with a downgrade from Rachel Reilly, I haven’t seen her season, but I got in my head still. I’m like, am I annoying? Am I boring? Like, what the f— is it?”
Devens: “Hers was really the only thing that could be adjusted. Hers and maybe Lala’s. Lala’s is a lot harder to adjust. Angela can’t stop being a moron. Just kidding, Angela.”
Devens: “I can’t stop being a wrinkly old bag. Drew could adjust with the Melody thing.”
Dee: “I took Zingbot stuff as true, because why wouldn’t you?… And then I was talking to Angela, and I guess I didn’t think about how my delivery is. And I’m like, no, it absolutely has to be true what Zingbot’s saying. And she’s like, no, Dee, I’m not a moron. And I was like, oh.”
Devens: “That’s hilarious.”
Dee: “I didn’t mean that you were a moron, but I did take his s— as true… And then I was like, I had to retract. But then I’m like, Angela, sometimes you can be, you know what I mean?”
Devens: “Barrett definitely wore his shirt more after that.”
Dee: “He was rarely shirtless. Yeah, people adjusted.”

Dee
“And she’s like, no, Dee, I’m not a moron. And I was like, oh.”

Devens: “What was Melody’s?”
Dee: “Hers was like a song. Oh, not winning a f—ing thing. Something like that.”
Dee: “But when we were at the dining table, she’s like, I can’t believe I got put in this cast. If it was any other cast…”
Devens: “Any other cast, you would have dominated. She’s another one who talks about going on The Challenge, and you’re just like… Interesting. Interesting.”
Dee: “When people say stuff like that, I just smile.”
Devens: “I don’t say anything.”
Dee: “Shut up.”
Devens: “I guess sometimes I do say anything.”

Like this morning, with Taylor.

Devens: “I was asking her what she thought the timeline would be for the rest of the week… We got to the end of the week, and then I was like, oh, yeah. And then, you know, a week after that is the premiere of Eternally Yours… on CBS and… Paramount.”
Devens: “She’s like, what’s that? I was like, the vampire show. You won the challenge. She was like, oh, yeah. Do you think they’ll put me in it? Do you think they’ll let me be a vampire in the vampire show? And I was like, no.”
Dee: “Dude, you’re an ass. You’re an ass. People should dream, Devens. Let people dream.”
Devens: “She’s just going to be disappointed.”
Dee: “No, but it’s not your job.”
Devens: “It is. I have to temper her expectations.”

Dee: “If someone told me no, I’d make it my life mission to show you that I will be an eternal or whatever.”
Devens: “Send me a clip of you just as an extra in the background.”
Dee: “I won’t talk to you forever, but I will send you a clip.”
Devens: “Well, Dee, I don’t think you’re going to be in Eternally Yours. I’m sorry… You don’t have canines.”
Devens: “I think that I will be in the Eternally Yours because of my very sexy vampire accent that I can bring to this show.”

Dee: “Oh, my God, bro. Who put me on Big Brother with this man?”
Devens: “What do you mean? You are so lucky. You are eternally lucky to be on the Big Brother show with this man.”
Dee: “You don’t sound like a vampire… You sound like Borat.”
Devens: “I think that if I lower the register, I can be more of a vampire than I can be a Borat.”
Dee: “A little better. But still f—ing Borat.”
Devens: “God, you’re the absolute worst.”
Dee: “You’re actually the worst.”

Devens
“You are eternally lucky to be on the Big Brother show with this man.”

Devens: “Oh, I can’t wait to shove my face into my dog’s belly. Either of them… Take the longest walk in the world.”
Dee: “Sniff the whole world. I don’t care. I’m not in no rush.”
Devens: “Check all your DMs, dogs.”
Dee: “Oh, your friend was here? Cool. Pee on there, too.”
Devens: “Let’s drink a lot of water before we go.”
Dee: “Pee on everything.”

Then his wife and kids — Dee admits she forgot about them — and the airport.

Devens: “At the Atlanta airport, like, there’s cameras. So, like, when you’re about to get where the people are, they can see you on the screen coming up the escalator, and I can see them on the screen waiting.”

He doesn’t usually cry when he’s happy, he says. When his wife visited him on Survivor, they were the only ones who didn’t.

Devens: “We were like, hey, this is great, this is awesome, like, talking to Jeff, like, smiling, and then literally every other person just bawling… looking at each other like, should we have cried? Were we supposed to cry?”
Dee: “No, that’s actually really funny and on brand.”
Devens: “That’s like yesterday when you were crying, I was like, that’s how I feel. Like, I’m looking at Dee and that’s how I feel… And I’m not someone who, like, doesn’t cry. Like, I cry, but I swear in this house, I’ve been so blocked off from everything. I’m going to melt down at some point. It’s going to be ugly. I hope I’m out of this house first.”
Devens: “I’ll be walking the dogs alone in the woods, and I’ll just be like, fall to my knees.”
Dee: “No, you need to let it out. It’s going to be crazy. You need to let it out. That’s how I kind of felt when Angela left. I was like, damn, I guess I’ve been suppressing emotions in here.”

Devens: “Oh, I saw you. I was like, oh, my God. What’s wrong with Dee? I think Dee’s broken.”
Dee: “That and yesterday were my hardest days for sure, emotionally. I just can’t control it. I will cry.”
Devens: “Dude, you had me worried when Angela left. I was like, I don’t know how to deal. This is not the Dee I’ve been playing with.”
Devens: “And then we’re in storage. And it was after… No, after Yash had saved you, I think. And you’re like, do we cut Yash?”
Devens: “Thank you for bringing Dee back to me. I was so worried I was going to have to do this alone.”
Dee: “No, I would never let you do that alone. Are you kidding me? I was like, she’s back. You know I’m partner in crime forever.”
Devens: “I was like, this is the absolute lunatic I’ve been working with the whole game.”

Devens
“I was like, this is the absolute lunatic I’ve been working with the whole game.”

Dee heads out. Devens, alone, sings “Feelings,” then talks Little Rascals.

Devens: “I used to ride my red wagon. Down a hill, like, our street was a hill, I’d ride it down the street using the part you pull. I’d pull back so I’d sit in it so it was like a little soapbox car. Felt like I was in Little Rascals, the movie. I’d even poke up my hair like Alfalfa. Buckwheat was the man, though.”

Then, to the camera, a message home.

Devens: “I’m definitely coming back stronger. My gift to you that you won’t care about. But I don’t think I’m coming back any lighter. There’s too much food here. Different than Survivor.”
Devens: “I’m weighing the same. But… Survivor would be weaker and weighing less. But the effort was there, man.”

Did I mention tonight the episode is at 10 because of the survivor premiere….
oh look the network shoved bb off to the side for survivor again.
might as well be the theme of the season.

Touche

Bib Budders

what happen, Production couldnt help Dee and Devens win HoH or veto? After helping them all season long they let em down at the very end..wow

Paul Sucks

I will be glad when this table Time Machine bit is over…just stupid to watch over and over again.

d...

yeah, i hate the gimmicks too, but i wonder if maybe younger audiences find them amusing? generally speaking shows on linear television are struggling to find younger audiences so i can’t really complain if it’s bringing in new people and keeping the show on the air.

It might just be me, but I have not found this season to be one of the more memorable ones. Right now it seems to be limping towards it’s inevitable conclusion where we are treated to a five minute clip of jury roundtable and a finale of the final two answering the age old questions of “What was your best game move?” and “Why should we vote for you?” As I have only been able to sporadically watch the season and read this website, I can’t really speak to best moves per se, but as to why they should vote for them to win:
Dee – strong competitive game, won some challenges and was also strategic. Social game was perhaps a little lacking, but she made good alliances and was not part of any major fights and did not play emotionally manipulative games
Devens – may have had Survivor cred, but I think he kind of came in as an underdog. Pulled out a couple of challenge wins, good social game, but perhaps not the best strategically. He was there, but never really present
Drew – had the dream of being one of the best strategic players, but did not quite pull that off. More often than not his scheming/gaming got found out and got him in trouble. Has challenge wins and a pretty good social game. He was trying to play the middle socially, but said and did the wrong things at the wrong time so this blew up in his face. If nothing else he did play the game.
Taylor – Managed to somehow hang on and survive multiple eviction attempts, however, this was not due to great play, comp wins, or social game, but more being thought of as a non-threat. She came in with the strategy of laying low, which she has done too much. She got a couple comp wins, but too little too late. She has also been there but not really present nor part of anything.
I would kind of like to see how everything shakes out, but right now another hurricane is headed my way and where I live will be right in the eye of the storm. So likely no power for us this weekend. That said if the show was scheduled to end this weekend I am saying now to Simon and Dawg that you have once again done an amazing job with this website. Many thanks to you for all your hard work and keeping us updated with BB happenings. All the best to you.

PHARAOH’S CURSE EVICTION EPISODE
Recap:
Da’vonne and MJ would have cleaned Devens clock in the HOH comp.
over 4 hours?
Return to Egypt.
Day 74
NOMINATIONS
Drew and Melody nominated.
THE REACTIONS:
MY REACTION:
Devens has insinuated on feeds that she’s a gamebot shrew and a maneater tease and a bad ally since day one of feeds. Think of the number of times Dee and Devens backstabbed alliances and think about the bad ally part.
D/R REACTION:
Devens after Melody.
Drew is but daddy in d/r
Melody is damn there’s a curse involved.
Taylor is worried about veto.
Dee is i’ve worked so hard.
Devens knows Dee would take out Drew this week.
Gee they discussed what they should do before Devens won HOH. Drew was target.
Drew says they have yet to prove they are trustworthy…. which time your alliance was in power and nominated you tells you things aren’t sunshine and lollipops.
Taylor hates Drew in the game. She’s getting a puff focal. oh.
Devens is jury vote counting. Dee is the only one he loses to in his estimation. Devens talking about backstabbing Dee yet again….. where is the fricken payoff????
Crossovers is his clearest path. Survivors concern with who will take me to finals kicks my ass…. why don’t you just win.
A BONUS RANT FOR EVERYONE THAT KNOWS I RANT
Dee is voting Drew out with the option. Dee wants the first 2 parts of the trifecta… but never bothered to learn how final 4 works and skipped the comps she didn’t want to watch in her research. She didn’t start learning days until AFTER OTEV. SHE KNEW NONE OF THE ANSWERS. Glad Grod has used her weight to keep you around arrogant wench? I’m not. it’s a fricken insult considering Survivor’s policy to not accept bb players since Hayden. It’s a thing y’all. Probst admitted it. They’ll take amazing racers before they’ll take bb players.
SECTION 2
Dee has a grey hair so she deserves 750k.
VETO: November 4 1922. BLOCK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN
not a comp made for smaller women.
The Mummy: It’s almost 8 feet tall Good luck Melody and Taylor and Dee (all on the shorter side). Devens at 9 strikes even though he can lift and carry the mummy. guessing about 19 total strikes. Hit last 2 wires.
Drew: shows before he hits the wires section
Taylor: the elbows of mummy are on her head.
Mixing Taylor and Drew runs. Taylor beats the mummy. Drew at 9 when he finishes the wire section. Taylor hits last wire.
Dee: up to mummy armpits. dragging behind her.
Melody: can’t get it through the free zone.
Dee at 12 strikes at half way point. Melody at 7,8,9,10,11 in one section.
Dee hits last wire. Melody doesn’t hit end wires but damn she likely has about 80 strikes.
LEAST STRIKES OR FASTEST TIME….. WHICH IS IT?
22 strikes Devens 21 strikes Dee. Melody knows if Drew wins she is toast.
DREW WINS VETO WITH 15 STRKES… so WHY DID THEY SAY IN FASTEST TIME????
THEY SAID LEAST STRIKES IN THE FASTEST TIME…..
WHAT WERE THE TIMES????????????????????????????????
GROD. EXPLAIN YOUR BULLSHIT
SECTION THREE: the death knell of a blonde.
Taylor STILL thinks the Tethers bullshit attaches her and Devens. Same Devens fan that cried because Devens didn’t acknowledge her day one.
Drew is going to jury manage Melody’s vote. They can vote her out themselves.
btw… as much as Devens says fine by me it was not fine by him. He was offended.
Drew fucked his whole alliance that he called his real alliance (FAP) in the gym cam talk weeks ago before that d/r call. His HOW he screwed them is wrong. It’s not because he won comps, it is because he shit talked them to prove he was the best most loyal toadie. He told them things that were out of date by a week as new information… and didn’t understand how that was screwing them.
Melody knows she’s screwed. This fight to stay stuff is D/R. Even though they chickenshitted on telling her, she knew in a pod room convo with Taylor on like Saturday… was it Saturday or was it Friday night? I think it was Saturday.
MELODY CAMPAIGNS.
Taylor has the jury votes she campaigns. Melody would take a woman to the end. Melody would take Dee over Devens at final 3. HOW DOES SHE PITCH TO DEVENS?
We will never know because HEY… IT’S VETO MEETING.
VETO CEREMONY:
Drew uses veto on himself. Renom is Taylor. EGYPTIAN EVICTION IN ONE HOUR.
Melody Devens: Taylor has high jury vote potential via friendship. The emotion thing. Devens is lying here. He has very little care for Melody given what he said the night before.
EVICTION:
Melody plea: What she said to Devens. Taylor survived eviction vote 4 times that could equal jury votes.
Taylor plea: Devens, Drew is not your number one while Mel is here.
Drew breaks Taylor’s artifact
Dee breaks Melody’s artifact
Devens breaks Melody’s arfifact.
Melody is evicted. Tells Drew to please win this.
Foreshadow of HOH goes to Taylor. Only one that says she needs to win the HOH in the d/r endcaps. Read your edits.

Thanks for saving me wasted time watching the episode.

DR COUNT
UP TO END OF WEDNESDAY EPISODE

Tier ONE (200+)
Dee 247
Devens 238
Drew 208

Tier TWO (150 – 199)
Melody 181 or 182

Tier THREE (100 – 149)
Taylor 130

What we can see:
Devens got an HOH bump. the gap with Dee shrunk.
Dee did not lose momentum even though the cycle had nothing to do with her (she wasn’t a nom or a power holder).
Drew got a big bump.
Taylor.
okay. except for Ashley and Kaycee…. a winner has been in top tier of d/r counts for every season i’ve analyzed. This is every season of us bb since 16 as well as every season of bbcan. Ashley had supplemented d/r with episode included cam talks (one they used was directly made on behalf of production at the kitchen table… where she stopped speaking, moved and restarted the line delivery from the beginning). DOES TAYLOR GET A LOT OF EPISODE INCLUDED CAM TALKING ABOUT HER STRATEGY????? Up to you to decide.
Note: Melody got an entire section of 2 episodes about cam talking on the phone. If Taylor got that it would mitigate her placement.

Not saying. Just saying. These are indicators that are pattern to be recognized in season long analysis of story arc and winner’s story.

Something episodic to add.
HOW WE ALL KNEW A SURVIVOR WAS NOT LEAVING ON THE PHARAOH’S CURSE.
NO WAY IN HELL IS JULIE CHEN COMING IN ON ANY DAY BUT THURSDAY…
AND NOW WAY IN HELL IS GROD LETTING A SURVIVOR LEAVE WITHOUT A FULL MARCHING BAND AND FULL COURT PRESS.

I hear they made Melody hitchhike to the jury house.
kidding. but imagine you get evicted…. and a big ball of whodafuq cares you ain’t even getting a post eviction interview…. oh shit they Haley’d Melody… a JUROR.

Vern

On the feeds. The love and respect that Rick Devens gave Drew regarding his gameplay was really cool to see.
Devens is on the block but he looked genuine about it. This was after Drew reminded him that they were basically tied in game achievements. All while not once getting any help in the game from D or D.

Think about that. Drew’s a 22 year old reality show junkie basically. He manages to get cast on BB28. Then finds out Rick Devens and Dee Valladares are now in his game while knowing their histories and what they’re capable of. Fast forward to near endgame and Rick Devens is giving him big props for his gameplay.

That’s pretty cool shit.

ssilva872

God I hope Drew evicts Devens and then Dee after winning the final HOH. If so he wins 5-2 or 6-1 against Taylor.

Dee and Devens shitting on Taylor’s game while praising Drew’s was amazing to read. It’s the correct opinion players who did a ton of stuff this season like them two should have of Drew and Taylor.

Not that he would really need it but hopefully whoever goes first can convince Yash and or Angela that Drew is so much better of a winner than Taylor if they are the final 2.

Now if Drew gets third then the remaining Survivor player easily beats Taylor as well. And if the remaining Survivor player wins the final HOH and takes Drew then we have a contest but it seems that Drew would lose which is fine if it happens.

As much as people hate on Dee or Devens for getting help, which I also agree with, they have played the game super well even after the DPOV section of the game. Even post bribe they got way further than they should have by winning comps and convincing people to target others. So I respect it and the winner of this season better be either Drew, Devens, or Dee.

d...

i really don’t think drew necessarily beats taylor. melody seems likely to vote for drew and for arguments sake i’ll say he’ll get barrett’s vote too, but lala and yash are clear taylor votes. so that leaves dee, devens, and angela. he burns devens here does he get his vote? 3rd place pretty rarely votes for the person responsible for their eviction so he could lose dee’s vote over that? and angela’s crazy and spent most of the summer sus of drew, i don’t think she loves taylor either. but i can easily see the icons going either way.

modern bb is rigged

As long as Taylor and Dee are 3rd and 4th place the season is a success in itself.
