5:40pm Backyard – Drew ana Devens playing pool. They head inside and grab the bottle of champaign and then go back outside to the upper level.
Drew – I really thought I was going to be up there a lot longer. Devens – I thought I was too. I still just want it sucked. It sucked so bad. But I was so determined. They talk about Part 1 of the 3 Part HOH comp. Drew – that was Taylor’s to win. Devens – I think she could have gone for a very long time. Drew opens the champaign and pours a glass for Devens. Drew – For you sir, congratulations for today. Drew gets called to the diary room. Devens – Have fun dude! Dude I’m so gald we’re here together. Drew – Dude, me too man.
Devens to the cameras – Buzz, Patricia, Natalie, Pebbles, Bam …Drew’s whole family you. And I both know you. And I all know that I had my ups and downs withdrew. I was ready to send your
son brother home a couple times because he was playing so hard and I didn’t know where he stood. But I hope you know now, that, in this moment, like I love Drew so much I don’t know if you think it was a good decision for him to bring me to the final three, in terms of his game
maybe you know more than I do. About what the jury feels about his best chances of winning, about all that. But like, everything I’ve told him I’m holding true to. I would have dropped out of that endurance comp I will take him to the final two, like at this point in our games
dude, you just have a really special guy in Drew. And I know you know that, but I want you to know that. I know that and buzz please know that this hold father son thing is an absolute fun joke. Sometimes because I’m a dad and I miss my kids, I do feel fatherly to him but not for even a second do I think he needs any sort of dead or like that I have any sort of real dad. Like you are the dad you have spent all the time, watched all the movies like bro, I can’t wait to meet you and shake your hand for what a great son you have.
Devens – The game is complicated. The game is hard, there are ebbs and flows. Like, there were definitely times I was getting ready to vote him out and then he would do something that I wouldn’t like because he’s a great game player. But there was never a time that I didn’t love. Drew, and I love him now more than ever like yes, partially because he brought me to the final three, but everything I promised him I’m going to follow through on. And even if I lie to Taylor about that, which I’m thinking about but, I hope nothing has upset you. I know it’s sometimes harder for the families to watch than it is for the players to play, and I hope you just know that I love. I really truly with all my heart love Drew and we’ll try to be a good influence on Drew and try to be there for Drew for the rest of his days. It’s insane that he’s only 10 years older than my son and he’s 20 years younger than me. Like, he and Jack are closer to being peers than he and I are. So I’m hoping I can be some type of positive influence in Drew’s life and then he can pass that on and be a positive influence in Jack’s life. Because Jack and Juju are going to go nuts over the fact that they have this surrogate big brother and I bet they’re huge fans and and they’re just going to love him so much. So thank you for making Drew the guy that he is. I’ve had a blast playing with him and despite all of our ups and downs in this game, like I’m just really grateful to know him, Buzz Patricia Natalie bam Pebbles I hope I haven’t stepped on any toes. Nothing but love and respect for you all and for Drew. Wild game.
6pm Backyard Upper Level – Drew and Devens are talking about Big Brother / Survivor. Drew says that he wants to be a dentist but his dream was to be on reality tv. Devens – Maybe we can do The Amazing Race together. How are you with heights? Drew – I would definitely do it. Devens – I’m worried about the heights .. we might have to take the penalty.
7:40pm Backyard – Devens is folding his laundry while he and Drew talk about past events of the season.
8:25pm Bedroom – Drew and Taylor are reminiscing about past events of the season.

Just wondering… does Drew have a relationship with his real dad? Lol I know the father/son thing is playful between him and Devon’s, but I can’t help but think Drew’s bio dad might be hurt that his son is on TV calling another man dad lol
Drew has a good relationship with his Dad who is Buzz Campbell- singer, songwriter and has played in the band with The Stray Cats. Buzz thinks its hilarious that Drew calls Devans Dad.
The Stray Cats.. lol, explains Drew’s hair style.
Don’t think I can take a week of Devens and Drew talking about how bad they will feel if Taylor wins and not them. Since she’s won the last two important HOH’s she had to be doing something other than staying in her pod. Their both planning on being in final two and now have moved on two trashing Dee. And Drew continues to lie about things because I guess he just can’t help it. it’s also the reason Drew is so worried about votes because people in jury can compare notes on what he told them. It has also occurred to Drew that Taylor has been quietly playing behind the scene with people which include Devens
I hope to all that’s holy that Devens wins Part 3 and brings Drew to the end. Pod Person mustn’t win!
I dunno, is a pod person winning worse than an advantaged prodo stuntcast winning?
I don’t think it matters, cause no one beats Devens in final 2, and I don’t see how Taylor can win in final 2 unless she sells the jury on her final week wins and Drew really screws up his final speech. Odds seem pretty low.
Devens may have been a stunt cast but he played this game really hard and made social connections with everyone. He deserves this win. And, yes, I would rather someone who played hard beat someone who appeared to be sleeping most of the time (I know some people say she wasn’t but apparently even prodo thought she was too, hence the comic.)
I’m feeling deja vu with this season and last season. Substitute Ashley for Taylor (two ladies who were considered non-threats and were mostly ignored until they finally won the most important challenges at the end). Substitute Vince for Drew (two guys who knew the game but were manipulated by another more dominate player. And they also, along the way, pissed off most of the people on the jury). And substitute Devens for Morgan (two people who were in control from start to finish and as a result were overconfident that they would win). Morgan choked in the final challenge and threw away $750,000. Will Devens do the same?
Morgan wasn’t in control or feeling overconfident all game. She was on the underdog side and turned it around to work her way into the Rachel cult. She had to actively game socially while also demanding that Vince be a fully proper ally to the point of giving up his own game agency to her, lol.
Devens had icon advantage and a cozy trio to sit with, Drew to abuse as the guy bringing them info to fill the gap of Deven and Dee’s lacking lazy social game. Barrett to kick around with plans to cut him at will when his usefulness has played out, except they kicked him too hard. Messy bad management of alliance members he needed. He’s lucky Drew is so easy to maintain on a trauma bond, kick me more I’ll still be your lapdog, Daddy Devens.
Morgan was a very good player. I didn’t care for her and how she destroyed Vinny’s game, but that was his own damn fault. It was just hard to watch.
Devens is arrogant, entitled and spoiled with his game advantages. Not even close a comparison to Morgan’s game.
vince’s game was much weaselier than drew’s. vince actively went back on deals, drew found weak-sauce compromises that screwed over his allies but much less directly. melody and barrett are still likely to vote drew and that’s already twice as many people as who voted vince.
i do think people are overestimating how easy it will be for drew to pick up additional votes though, much like they overestimated vince’s chances.
feedsters hate taylor because she was invisible most of the season, but to the jury their attitude towards her is fairly neutral. if they feel particularly betrayed by drew (which i can easily see dee and angela feeling this way) voting against drew to allow a player they don’t have strong feelings about to win feels better than voting for someone who betrayed them.
taylor should already have yash and lala in her camp, and i think she did very good jury management with dee the past few weeks. so is her jury anagement with dee enough and will dee convince angela to vote with her? i think it’s pretty close.
These labels stick just as they do irl. It becomes a mindset that Taylor as pod person couldn’t have possibly done anything to advance her game, bc that’s not how it goes with pod people.
Taylor was consistently in conversation. Consider the transcripts here. If anything, she was always talking and telling her friends what they needed to do, Lala mostly at that very early stage. I do recall her causing Drew’s face to twitch in pre-jury when she was heavily instructing him in the way she does. Maybe that had nothing to do with the game (I don’t recall), but she certainly played that way with the people she trusted.
So the girl made sure to get her full hours of sleep, lol. Through my 20s I needed a solid minimum 9hrs of sleep during those years to feel human, and of course that was impossible as I was a student(very successful, I could certainly overcome my exhaustion to hyperactive state and binging) and working and always stoic on life tasks. But I often felt like a train wreck and sorta looked like it at times too despite being very attractive. Bedroom eyes turn on a person really fast with lack of rest.
So back to that. She did not give up. She still had Yash and he was a good end game competitor. Now, one major bad read was her lack of awareness that Yash was willing to sell her down the river, and he almost did. Yet, what choice did she have at that point?
Although of course it’s not great that she wasn’t questioning his loyalty at all. But that’s a very different issue from ‘slept all season and didn’t do anything but coast’.
At the time of Yash’s eviction he had not pivoted to a clear path or plan F2 away from Taylor. I don’t believe what he said in jury about bro-ing it with Drew to the end based on their veto deal. That’s Yash’s way of saving face to himself for that game losing deal, and he can’t even admit it was the virus that took him out as he knew he could not last much longer. That feels like a baby excuse to Yash.
IOW, there was a good chance Yash was taking Taylor to F2. Devens not winning veto on DE, he would have been evicted and Yash in the game unencumbered by the bribe. For sure he was a huge target but Dee still had a Drew problem. Hard to say, and in any case, it was a way for Taylor to get further and then win these end comps. As in, a good path based on her social and strategic game.
I’d like to see Drew win but would be happy with Devens. Just not Taylor please. We need to snap this modern era same winner streak asap.
