Big Brother 28 spoilers: LaTrice “Lala” Verrett won the Week 5 Head of Household on The Wall, outlasting Kamu heads-up, and the BB28 live feeds ran past 4am with the house rearranging itself around her.

The queue formed before she’d even seen her room. Yash and Mallory got to the pod room first and staked their claim as the ones who were with her before it was worth anything. Devens went to Taylor for permission to name-drop her as an ally. Drew was already telling Melody and Mallory he doesn’t see Haley going up.

Then Lala and Taylor sat down alone in the HOH room and did the actual work. Two hours later there was a working three – Drew, Barrett and Kamu – a backdoor plan behind it, Haley as the name they both keep landing on, and a decision to tell every nominee they’re safe.

Downstairs in the have-not room, Haley, Kamu and Chuk were still trying to work out which of their own people flipped the vote.

12:53 AM – Yash and Mallory (Pod Room)

Yash tells Mallory they’re good.
Mallory: “I think I’m still going to talk to her.”
Yash: “Oh, for sure.”
Mallory: “And just if she wants to bounce anything off of me, you know?”
Yash: “Yeah.”

Yash: “But now all of them are going to be kissing her ass, get ready.”
Mallory: “And we’ve been rocking with her since the beginning.”
Yash: “Uh huh. Exactly. I wonder who she would put up.”
Mallory: “I would think Kamu, because he put her up.”
Yash: “But they talked about it when they were up there.”
Mallory: “And neither of them dropped on purpose.”

“She said, we gotta get this one, Yash, we gotta get this one.”
— Yash, on what Lala told him before the wall

Yash: “Yeah. Like it wouldn’t be Angela, Yash, then Devens. He’s voting with us.”
Mallory: “Yeah, I know.”
They high five.
Yash: “It’ll be really interesting to see who really knows, what she’ll figure out. F— yeah. F— yeah.”
Yash: “She said, we gotta get this one, Yash, we gotta get this one. I was like, let’s f—ing do this shit.”
Yash: “That’s f—ing crazy, she beat all of us.”
Yash: “Dude, let’s go bro.”
They high five again.

Dee, CHUNK, Angela and HAley crowded around LaTrice in the kitchen .

Taylor: “Go up there and see what you can say to her.”
Devens: “See what’s up.”
Taylor: “Just say what’s up and, like I said, there’s options but very slim pickings.”
Devens: “You know I got your back. I hope you have mine.”
Taylor: “We’ll see what she’s saying.”

Devens: “Should I not name-drop you as someone I’m working with? Do you want to keep that on the down-low?”
Taylor: “You want me to tell her? You can tell her too. You can tell her.”
Devens: “I would love anything you could do for me, certainly.”
Taylor: “Feel free to tell her, and I can confirm.”
Devens: “Because I definitely don’t think I’m bad for her game.”
Taylor: “Yeah.”
Devens: “Yeah.”
Taylor: “Feel free to tell her.”
Devens: “OK.”
Taylor: “And I’ll be more than happy to confirm it.”
Devens: “OK.”
Taylor: “Yeah, do what you gotta do.”
Devens: “Appreciate it.”
Taylor: “Do what you gotta do.”
Devens: “Thank you.”
Taylor: “You’re welcome.”

2:11 am Latrice gets her HOH room

Latrice – “I don’t know why they include my ex husband in there he does not need to be up in that picture”

Lala: “I’m going to cry already.”
She reads her letter from home.

Lala: “Oh mommy, you won HOH! Baby, baby, we all knew it was coming. You have been showing up and showing out every single day, and I hope you’re as proud of yourself as we all are, because you are making us beyond proud back home. The way you can bless someone with nothing more than a conversation is a gift that not many people have. You carry yourself with so much grace, kindness and authenticity, and now the world is finally getting to see the incredible woman we’ve always known. Home has been great, but it definitely isn’t the same without you. Everything here is falling into place. My office is finally finished and looks amazing, and my real estate journey is officially picking up. Don’t worry about a thing. I’ve got everything handled so you can stay locked in and focused on bringing this win home. Stay true to yourself, because that’s your greatest strength. Your heart, your wisdom, and your ability to connect with people are what make you unforgettable. Continue trusting your instincts, walking with confidence, and letting your light shine. You are one of one. And God is using you to inspire and encourage so many people just by being yourself. Never forget who you are or what you’re capable of. I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as I’ll love you tomorrow. Parker.”

Lala: “My baby. That’s my baby Parker. That’s the one that’s in the picture right there.”
Lala: “Yeah. Oh, my gosh. I’m so – yo, this is, like, everything right here. Like, really…”
Lala: “Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much, guys.”
Lala: “Oh, geez. I’m so freaking – yo, I got Cocoa Pebbles, too. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.”

Lala: “Oh, my gosh. They found my chips. These are my protein chips. The best thing ever.”
Lala: “Yes, I buy them. This is the best thing ever.”

Lala: “But I’m telling you guys, I appreciate you guys so much for, like, being there and rooting me on for this, because this means so much to me. I swear, I’m just, like, I still am, like, in a dream. I literally am in a dream. And I appreciate you guys so much for, like, really just being there for me and giving me that extra, you know, that extra push and that extra congratulations. So thank you so much. I really appreciate it.”

Lala: “And I know y’all tired. Y’all ain’t got to stay up in here.”
Lala: “Yo, but I’m just, oh my gosh. Yo, yo, yo. I’m so freaking stoked.”
Lala: “Wait, let me see what’s in – oh, y’all can have whatever you want. I don’t care.”
Lala: “Let me see what’s in – wait, let me see if they got my little ice cream things. Did they give me my ice cream? Oh, damn.”

2:40 AM – Lala and Taylor (HOH Room)

The two of them dance and twerk their way into the room.

Lala: “Taylor, we done flipped the vote. Child, this week done flipped the house upside down.”
Lala: “Bruh, they shaking in they boots down there. They don’t know what to do.”
Lala: “They did not want me to win either. I know they didn’t want me to win.”
Lala: “Because every last one was trying to throw me on the f—ing bus. Every chance they got. Everybody went, oh, put Lala up. I’m like, huh?”

Taylor: “Who on your mind?”
Lala: “I had a whole nother vision of it.”
Taylor: “It hit different once you’re here. It hit different once you sit here.”
Lala: “It does. It hits whole different.”

Lala: “Because my main thing was, I wanted Devens out. Because I just feel like, you don’t let Devens go to the end, and he’s gonna end up winning. Because he’s a fan favorite and because people be fanning out over him.”
Taylor: “You still want him out? You going to let him wait?”
Lala: “I don’t know. Because I’m thinking, the longer I let him wait, the harder it will be to get him out. And I’d rather – why not take my shot now? You know what I’m saying?”

Taylor: “Well, I’m going to tell you now, he came to me. To my pod. Put in a good word for me, and this, that, and the third. I was laying in my pod just before you got your key. And he was like, hey, Tay. And he was like, what you thinking?”
Taylor: “I said, I just know that she’s not a big fan of probably putting up the same people who’ve been going up every week. If you look at the wall, it’s slim picking.”
Taylor: “And he was like, yeah, I’m not feeling too good. And then he was like, how do you feel about me throwing your name, that we’ve been working together? Like me and him. Just me playing the game.”
Taylor: “And I was like, do what you got to do. Do what you got to do. And I said, I don’t have no problem confirming – which I am right now.”

Lala: “See, the thing about it is this. The way he rolled with Rome. And the way he lied to Rome’s f—ing face.”
Taylor: “What, he lied? What he said?”
Lala: “Because he told Rome he was not going to put him as a renom. Oh, no, I’m not going to put you up. I won’t put you up as a renom. And he said it. Well, I told you I wasn’t going to.”
Taylor: “And still did it.”
Lala: “And still did it.”

Taylor: “So would you put him up up front, or would you backdoor him?”
Lala: “I don’t know, because he might win the veto.”
Taylor: “Yeah, he’s a good competitor. He might win the Blockbuster, too.”
Lala: “He might win the Blockbuster, too, but then guess what? I took my shot. And I took my shot and I had a reason for taking the shot. So it’s not like I just wanted him out just because.”
Taylor: “But you’re taking your shot at him because of Rome. Rome not here no more.”
Lala: “I’m not taking the shot because of Rome. I’m taking the shot because he’s a good player, and because he’s a fan favorite, and because he gets too far and you won’t be able to get him out. That’s why I want to take him out.”

Taylor: “But you remember Jason said even he couldn’t beat him. And he said Devens is a player that you probably won’t be able to get out until Blockbuster is over.”
Lala: “Until you can backdoor him. Yeah, I thought about that, too.”
Taylor: “And he’s on the block, definitely, and there’s no way for him to get off the block. I thought about that, too. And he has a power.”
Lala: “I’m sure he does. I’m sure he has a power, and I’m sure Dee has a power.”

Taylor: “So that’s something to think about. Because even Jason said it. He’s somebody you can’t get out till Blockbuster’s over. You got to put his ass up with no way out.”
Lala: “Because you’d have to do a sure backdoor.”
Taylor: “He’s good at puzzles. He’s good at freaking everything.”
Lala: “I know. He’s a good player. He’s a good player.”

Lala: “But the only other thing I was thinking about was – because I didn’t want to put Barrett up, but whoever’s put up against Barrett, I know Barrett would be okay.”
Taylor: “Yeah, and if you tell him now, he’ll understand.”
Lala: “Because I was thinking about putting Barrett up as a pawn.”
Taylor: “Truly a pawn. And whoever wins veto – you win the veto, just take Barrett off.”
Lala: “Correct.”
Taylor: “You can let Barrett know that, just know you’re here as whatever.”
Taylor: “I think Barrett will be okay with that. It’s like, I understand.”
Lala: “I just made you a have-not and I’m putting you on the block.”
Taylor: “No, that’s horrible.”
Lala: “Yeah, that would be horrible.”

Taylor: “I already know Haley gonna come up here and tell you how Melody said your name.”
Lala: “I can’t even listen to none of that.”
Taylor: “Remember Melody said that she would put you up if she won HOH?”
Lala: “Yeah, I know. I know.”
Taylor: “Haley working hard.”
Lala: “Haley working real hard.”
Taylor: “You heard that in the kitchen? She was like, you can pick me if it’s only three and Taylor.”
Lala: “Haley plays this game. And that’s how she’s playing.”
Taylor: “Yeah, she’s playing alright.”

Lala: “Okay, this is what I was gonna do. This is what I was doing before. I was gonna put up Haley, Kamu and Barrett. And then if one of them pulled themselves off, I was gonna put up Devens. But make a good point by getting him out when there’s no other chance to get him out – when I can make a sure shot at him.”

Taylor: “So I’m thinking – he has a lot of social influence in the game.”
Lala: “Correct.”
Taylor: “He has a good chance at becoming HOH again as well.”
Lala: “Correct. Correct.”
Taylor: “So I’m thinking, because I really want to get Haley. You’re gonna make her the target this week right now?”
Lala: “I really want to get Haley out.”

Lala: “See, you know what pissed me off about her? When she came up in here for her HOH and all that bullshit she was talking. Don’t come up here and eat my snacks. You talking about stuff.”
Taylor: “She said don’t take a shower. You realize I ain’t take a – I always take a shower in the HOH from the last night. You know that, right? I always take it the last night before. And I ain’t eat none of her snacks. She made me drink that wine, though. I sure drank that wine.”
Lala: “You are so freaking funny.”
Taylor: “She brought it downstairs. She said, I can’t bring you this.”
Lala: “I ain’t gonna be like, girl, no.”
Taylor: “Okay, I’ll drink it.”

Taylor: “But you might have to backdoor her, too.”
Lala: “I know.”

Taylor: “When it comes to Kamu, though – did you make a promise to him up on the wall?”
Lala: “Mm-mm.”
Taylor: “Oh, you were just covering yourself?”
Lala: “Mm-mm.”
Taylor: “Because he probably thought that you was about to let go. So what you going to say to him for putting him up?”
Lala: “He put me up as a pawn. I’ll put you up as a pawn.”
Taylor: “But didn’t he say – did he tell you, if you need to put me up if you become HOH, it’s okay?”
Lala: “Mm-mm.”
Taylor: “He didn’t say that to you?”
Lala: “Mm-mm.”
Taylor: “Well, I thought he said that to you. I feel like he told me he said that to you.”
Lala: “Nope.”
Lala: “I said I wouldn’t put him up – we wouldn’t put each other up – for one week. That was last week. And that’s done.”

Lala: “Cause I’m thinking of who right now. Because I’m not going to put Dee up. I’m not going to put Angela up. I’m not going to put Chuk up.”
Taylor: “Even though Chuk asked for it.”
Lala: “I know. I know.”
Taylor: “We’re going to let a brother slide.”
Lala: “I know.”
Taylor: “Damn it.”
Lala: “I know. I just – I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing that.”
Taylor: “I felt that. No, for real. Even me when I be side eye him. If you wasn’t us, where would you be, motherf—er?”
Taylor: “Ooh, if it wasn’t for the culture.”

Lala: “But I’m trying to think if I – it’s so freaking difficult right now because of the way that it is.”

Lala: “Because it’s so funny. Drew came to me and was like, oh my gosh, this is so great. Like, we’re in power now. You know, we got the power. And I was like… He was throwing me all up under the bus.”
Taylor: “He threw you under the bus? What he said?”
Lala: “Oh, my God. He’s been going back and forth.”
Taylor: “Oh, yeah, for sure. Big time. Oh, we know.”
Lala: “Telling Haley that I said this or that about her. And then when he comes up here with them, he said, well, I don’t believe a f—ing word Haley says, though.”
Taylor: “Me neither.”
Lala: “I don’t believe a f—ing word she says. So I ain’t even going to put that into play.”
Lala: “Talking about, well, he would put you up. Melody said they would put you up. And I was like… I don’t know.”

Lala: “I’m just thinking. I’ll talk to him and see. I’m going to talk to him.”
Taylor: “Are you going to stick to him?”
Lala: “Yeah, I’m going to lie anyway.”

Taylor: “Y’all gonna say what you want to hear. But see what information you can get. Honestly, you can have your mind made up on who going up. You honestly use this as a way to get information on people. Play a game and save yourself next week. This is the time for you to make those alliances. To, you know, solidify some stuff. Get information on who’s saying what about who, doing what, moving what. It’s really for insight. Because you get up here, you know who the hell you putting up.”
Lala: “Yeah. But right now I don’t.”
Taylor: “And that’s okay. But you don’t want to put up nobody who’s been constantly on the block.”
Lala: “Correct.”
Taylor: “So probably not Melody or Mallory. They’re the only two who been rotating the most. Everybody else only been up – me, Melody and Mallory. Two times at least, each twice.”
Lala: “I know. And that’s the whole thing then. Then it’s like going towards the other side of the house.”

Taylor: “So you have to sprinkle in – you might have to sprinkle in a Drew or a Yash. Or a Barrett, just to, you know.”
Lala: “Correct. Barrett’s easy for me to put on the block without me feeling bad about it. Because it’s not me trying to get him home. But I’m trying to think of who I want to go home this week, though.”
Taylor: “You know what I’m going to say, but it’s not my HOH.”
Lala: “Who?”
Taylor: “Haley.”
Lala: “Oh, no.”

Taylor: “And the house is already flipped upside down after this vote. That was perfect. That was perfect. They don’t know. They can’t trust each other no more.”
Lala: “I know. That’s a perfect setup.”
Taylor: “It’s perfect.”
Lala: “Because Dee is like, f— you. And lied to her face. Like, lied.”
Taylor: “Dee told you she didn’t vote that way. Dee told you she didn’t vote that way.”
Taylor: “She said, don’t say anything to Haley. Please don’t, please don’t.”
Lala: “Oh, she told you that she didn’t vote that way? I’m surprised she told you.”
Taylor: “Angela switched up too.”

Lala: “She said, does Taylor have a problem with me? Because when you were saying about friends or something, putting something up, you were saying something. She was talking about the situation. I said, she’s not talking about you at all. Taylor loves you. No, she’s cool. All is well.”
Lala: “She’s like, okay, I was just making sure. She was thinking it was you talking about her and me being friends or something like that. And I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no.”
Lala: “What I’m saying is, the fact that Lyric came up here and threw Mallory under the bus.”
Taylor: “She did it in a way to save her ass.”
Taylor: “Sometimes you got to. Perfect example, when me, you, and Jason was like, okay, we’re separating so we can go get information. And I told you, I said, I’m just going to go around and be like, yeah, because I’m here. Lala’s driving people crazy.”

2:55 AM – Lala and Taylor (HOH Room)

Taylor: “She came up here and sold out.”
Lala: “Sold out. That’s so not cool.”
Taylor: “Not cool.”
Lala: “At all. Damn.”

Taylor: “I say put her up against – when it comes to next Thursday, make sure she’s sitting up. Once you backdoor her ass, make sure she’s sitting up next to people who can compete with her in a Blockbuster as well. Who’s good. Who’s good.”
Lala: “And I don’t know if Barrett’s that one. See, you may have to put Drew back up. I might have to put Drew back up.”

“I’ll tell Kamu he’s not my target. That’s what he told me. I’m going to play him the same way he played me.”

— Lala

Lala: “You’re not my target, but I need you to sit there.”
Taylor: “Big Boy, I need you to know you’re not my target.”
Lala: “I need you to sit there.”
Taylor: “I need you to sit there. And we haven’t had time to talk. And trust me. Play game and, you know, build trust. And I heard some things, but just know you’re not my target.”
Lala: “Correct.”
Taylor: “You’re not my target.”
Lala: “And then I could say the same thing if I put up Kamu.”
Taylor: “Kamu, I’m just putting you up because you put me up. And I know we made a deal out there, but it’s honestly because I was about to give up and I was scared that you would put me up again, because you put me up before.”
Lala: “Correct. And you are not my target.”

Taylor: “And you can also tell them, always also say, I just also have to put you up to show that there are consequences for putting me up.”
Lala: “Correct.”
Taylor: “Because Mallory taught me that. She taught me that. I said, huh? She said, sometimes you got to put people who put you up, just to show them, show other people that you can’t just put me up and think you’re going to get away with it.”
Lala: “And it’s going to be okay.”
Taylor: “And the fact that you just showed your ass out there, you’re proving that you’re a competitor. So now people are like, maybe I shouldn’t just put Lala up. If she’s not the target, I’m not going to just put Lala up, because Lala can win.”
Lala: “Correct. And Lala can win big.”
Taylor: “Thank you.”

Lala: “So, if I put up Drew, Barrett, and Kamu, knowing that they are not my target – one of them come off, or I win the veto and give the veto to them, or one of us win the veto and take somebody off.”
Taylor: “Drew, Barrett. So you don’t want to put up Devens right now? You just said don’t. Yeah, because if you put him up, that might give him a reason to put you up later. And if he’s not the target right now, just leave him alone.”
Lala: “Correct.”

Taylor: “Who else could you put up there who’s a better competitor than Barrett, though?”
Lala: “Devens.”
Taylor: “Yeah, I guess.”
Lala: “But we also don’t know what Barrett can really do. Barrett was in one competition.”

Taylor: “Turn up, but don’t be solidified. Just hear everybody out.”
Taylor: “Haley already know what’s going on.”
Lala: “Yeah. Because she’s been trying to be so – it’s so funny. That damn voice. It’s so funny how she was a stone cold bitch. And even when she called you up, you’re talking about, what, one, two, and three? Bitch.”
Lala: “Ooh, I almost slapped red out her damn head. Okay, but then when you got to me – I said, don’t at me. Okay, see? But then when you got that video, what happened?”
Taylor: “Completely. Don’t play with me. She lucky I’m on national television. I keep saying that. Because if we was outside this house, girl, I don’t care how much bigger you are than me, child, I will. Yeah, she playing a game, but the way she switched like that, I was just like. But she gonna go home.”
Lala: “Oh, yeah. Oh, without a doubt.”

Taylor: “And if she don’t go home, unfortunately, Kamu might have to go home, because he’s a good competitor, too.”
Lala: “He’s a very good competitor. He’s a very good competitor. So Kamu go home. And they’re going to start coming after me, because now they see I’m a good competitor.”
Taylor: “Yeah, they’re going to come after me, too.”

Lala: “But Angela is a good shield, and Dee’s a great shield.”
Taylor: “In what way?”
Lala: “For us. To help divert attention.”
Taylor: “Because as long as they’re here, people are probably – we could just say, why y’all letting them slide under the rug?”
Lala: “Correct.”
Taylor: “I can see that.”

Taylor: “So, Drew. Kamu. And Barrett.”
Taylor: “But don’t tell none of them who the target is.”
Lala: “Don’t tell what?”
Taylor: “Don’t ever tell them who the target is.”
Lala: “No, not at all. I’m just going to say, you’re not my target.”
Taylor: “You’re not my target. But just know, they’re all going to talk and they’re going to all say, well, she told me I’m not a target. Well, she told me I’m not a target.”
Lala: “Then I’ll tell Kamu he’s not my target. That’s what he told me. I’m going to play him the same way he played me.”
Taylor: “And just tell Barrett the plan is to pull you off with veto.”
Lala: “Got it.”

Taylor: “Let Drew -“
Lala: “Keep going back and forth. That boy, he just be doing -“
Taylor: “I think he going to calm down.”
Lala: “He be doing so much.”
Taylor: “I think he going to calm down after this though.”
Lala: “All right.”

Taylor: “Alright, now listen to everybody tomorrow. Just listen, because you might hear some information that might be like -“
Lala: “Correct.”

Lala: “I’m not washing my hair tomorrow. I don’t have the energy to wash my hair.”
Taylor: “You ain’t wash it?”
Lala: “I just rinsed it. I don’t have the energy to do it.”
Taylor: “Well, go to bed.”
Lala: “I’m going to go downstairs and get the rest of it. I’m just bringing my bag upstairs.”

Lala: “You sure you don’t want to sleep with me?”
Taylor: “No, I want you to enjoy your bed. Because I definitely thought, I said, that’s why I didn’t want you to be on half nights. No, I want you to enjoy your bed. Stretch out, butt naked.”
Lala: “You so funny.”
Taylor: “Butt booty naked.”
Lala: “Butt booty naked.”

Lala: “I wish they let me keep my robe.”
Taylor: “What, your real robe?”
Lala: “The HOH robe.”

2:53 AM – Haley, Kamu and Chuk (Have Not Room)

Haley says Angela voted out Melody.

Haley: “I know that for a f—ing fact.”
Haley: “So my very first vote, when I had to vote somebody out, I got twisted. I voted Ashley out. I see how it could get confusing.”

Haley goes on about Lyric being nervous that morning, and thinking she got a penalty vote for eating.

Haley: “I guess you’re panicking. I was a little nervous. Well, she was panicking a lot. But why else would you go tell Mallory all these things that you said, if you thought you were going to stay? When we all confirmed her.”
Haley: “I think maybe she got a penalty vote on accident. Which would make sense. I really do. I think she voted Mallory.”
Haley: “Or she got something with, like, not a power, but maybe she was the one that got something. And it was, like, the one, the bad one. I don’t know.”

Haley: “But I do not trust Devens at all anymore. And I f—ing don’t trust Barrett.”

Chuk says Barrett’s excuse for the vote was that someone changed it last minute.

Haley: “I don’t trust Barrett.”

Chuk: “And I told him. No sense.”
Haley: “I told him and I said, if it doesn’t come from me, that’s not true.”
Chuk: “And I put Devens on the spot in front of Dee, because I just wanted to say, hey, Devens, you usually know who told you what. Like, who was it? And he kept saying, the other side of the house. And I had to tell him, dude, there’s only three people.”
Chuk: “And don’t give me that bull crap saying, I thought that’s where you guys were going. You know how we operate. We talk about everything.”
Chuk: “If it was like they had six people, then I understand.”

Chuk: “So I was downstairs with y’all, upstairs with y’all playing checkers, rehashing everything, and he was pointing down at Angela and Dee, and he said, they’re all f—ing lying, if they voted to pick Melody. And then he talked about a Yash convo two, three days ago, saying Lyric – you mentioned Lyric.”
Chuk: “I’m gonna say that to everyone. That’s all of us.”
Haley: “But he was in the room. He wasn’t in the room when you said it. It was Barrett. It was – I can tell you, it was Devens.”
Haley: “Devens, Dee, Barrett, Angela, you, me in the bed.”
Chuk: “But needless to say, basically, I’m telling you, I heard him out. I bring things to your attention. I always make sure I bring things to your attention, right? Just because if someone feels, hey, this motherf—er’s lying, it ain’t swaying my mind at all.”

Kamu: “This is one of those comps where you’re like, this is the only one I want to do. Truly, I wanted to do this one so bad. There was not many comps I’m excited for. But this was one of those ones where it’s like, hey, let’s go.”
Kamu: “Dude, I was honestly really pissed though. I was like, everyone thinks I’m gonna be, like, the first one down because I’m a stronger guy.”
Chuk: “Dude, you lasted a long time, bro.”

Chuk: “But if that’s what we’re gonna vote on, let’s do it. But the fact that we had another vote, and someone from our core went on the other side, that brings up the stress. That’s the fear.”
Haley: “Yeah, I’d do that right now, but I have no idea. You know what makes sense, is we all threw it out there.”

Chuk: “She ain’t going to sleep anytime soon.”
Chuk: “Yeah, I need to sleep on it. Sleep on it. Because, like, everybody says something different. All I know, like, the only thing that I know is how I voted.”

Haley: “I think she’s gonna press you for people about who said what about me to put me on the block.”

Chuk: “I’m gonna get some sleep. I’m just freaking out.”

Drew, Barrett and Kamu….REALLY!?!? Kamu, ABSOULTLY but the other 2? I saw that convo live and was shaking my head and sighing..NOT putting up Chuk b/c of “the culture” but he hasn’t cared about that the whole time he’s been in the Toolshed W/O THEM and NOT telling them about it! Of course, they don’t know about the Toolshed, but still to me a bad look. I normally avoid responding to racial talk b/c I’m multi-racial and do NOT favor any of 1 my cultures over any of my others, I love all of what led to me existing and so I just try to stay out of that talk b/c it makes me so PO’d! Those 2 (along w/ Chuk and Mallory and 50/50 on Haley [which went WAY down to lower than that for H and then back up a TINY bit]) were among my orig. favorites REGARDLESS of race. Later I suspected that is what those 2 were doing BUT IT DIDN’T ACTUALLY HEAR THEM SAY IT and I was hoping I was wrong…but there it is…I will NEVER give than anything above a 2 from here on.

Tre Billis

We all knew she was an awful player. This is what happens when these types who are totally out of the loop win HOH. You get excited at first, but then you quickly realize how clueless these types of players are. If I have to hear “Sister from another Mister” one more time!!!!!

Martin Tanley

Latrice and Taylor are self righteous hypocrites. Instead of realistically rallying a coup. They throw possible game numbers in the minority UTB left and right. Made it clear with previous actions about what type of game they are playing when Mallory, Jason, and Melody are clear shields. It is not a surprise what they are doing with Chuk. The previous actions showed their true colors. Ironic how he could care less. Good for Chuk he doesn’t take their stance. But for Latrice & Taylor they should not be hailed like they are by Twitter, or jun and Danielle Reyes as queens. Other content creators who only pull this nonsense like they did trying prop up Ashley Hollis as being a great winner just to make it seem they are knowledgeable and different about game analysis. When all of those clout chaser wannabes like ethan, taran, and peridiam are the problem with today’s standom treating them like the bb gospel. When those guys are only hyping up mediocrity proving their favoritism and inconsistencies. Latrice and Taylor should not receive anything more than a 2 when they live in the house vicariously by constant double standards exerting poor social and strategic play. They’ll lose this season from their backwards logic.

Well, he has NO PROBLEM letting those 2 THINK HE DOES to their faces.. No I can’t give him any credit for him not believing in their “cultural” protection at all costs idea.

Imagine if there was more than 3 visible black folks – there would be another Cookout where they would racially target all of the non-blacks for eviction…

d...

yeah, it’s a bad move, but makes for very interesting renom scenarios. ultimately it’s nice that someone outside the toolshed finally won, even though she’s clueless.

Steveo

WTF? Why the hell did they put her ex-husband in the pictures? That could be truly awful and upsetting if there is bad blood there between them. I would hand that picture back to the diary room and ask for a replacement.

Buck-I-Watcher

And I would tell her, we’ll take it back but NOT giving you a replacement; if you want to blame someone, blame the person (Parker?) that gave them the photo for her.

Steveo

So she won’t put up Chuk because he’s black? (He’s not even BLACK in the cultural sense, he is African btw).

Rome & Lyrics Wedding

I want a messy week. If the noms are Barrett, Drew & Kamu hopefully Haley is picked for veto & wins and pulls Kamu off the block. Then Lulu can put up Devens , he uses his Diamond power and noms Taylor. Taylor then wins blockbuster, Barrett injured in blockbuster and has to get medevaced so Drew is evicted by default and his showmance with Melody is abruptly ended. Also Aryn Gries host the veto and accidentally let’s it slip that Angela is her godmother.

Steveo

WTF?

Joey

Now, THIS is the kind of script writing I can get behind!!! The cherry on the top would be the first time in franchise history the reigning HOH is evicted

Rome & Lyrics Wedding

I like that outcome. You are a wise man

Moe

LaLa and Taylor not wanting to put up Chuk because of the “culture” here we go again.

wolfwoman

Actually been waiting for that since day 1

Moe

Obvious Lala and Taylor were always about it. Apparent when Taylor was wanting to keep LaLa at all costs not thinking twice about rallying numbers willing to break down icons and red corner. Chuk said he would nom Taylor & Lala. Choosing nom’s based on race is not only a double standard but it’s bad game play. It will be their demise.

Steveo

I wonder if Lala and Taylor could even point on the map or name the “culture” that Chuk’s parents are from?

Tre Billis

These are the kind of HOH’s that are not good for the game. Someone who is totally out of the loops and clueless.

Tre Billis

Can we just crown Angela the winner now? Very predictable where this is going.

Steveo

Nah, Dee is going to win this season.

Hmg3084

No one is voting Angela to win. She is a great person to take to the end bc of it. Which is why we sadly will have her for the long haul.

Tre Billis

I’ll bet she wins. Because at some point Dee and Devins will be targets. In no world is Angela a target for a long time in this game. The other thing you put Angela up so brings the wrath on you. Dee and Devins will go, go game.

Buck-I-Watcher

Haley, XXXX Lyric confessed to Mallory WAY BEFORE eviction day NOT just ON eviction day. It was btwn you (Haley) calling her out to her face about scampering so PDQ from her own allies and the POV ceremony. I’m sure Mallory did NOT say the confession didn’t happen UNTIL eviction day.

Stefan

Some intern about to get reassigned

LeeAnn

So lala won and Taylor will be the one running the hoh. Lala doesn’t have a clue. This is crazy. And chuck would put her up in a second but due to “culture ” she won’t put him up is ridiculous. A waste of hoh

Tre Billis

Maybe now Chuk doesn’t. Because if these are two people that will never nominate them or pick a whitie over him in the final vote he will keep them around. Chuk initially did not care, but now has to use this to his advantage.

Steveo

As he should. Chuk should use Lala and Taylor’s racism to his advantage.

Martin Tanley

Surprise, surprise. Taylor with LaLa not wanting to target chuk because of identity politics. Could see this coming from a mile away after Taylor was so persistent to keep latrice at all costs and deny a coup vs the power alliance week 3. It made it even more apparent when lala went up right away to Haley to throw melody UTB to save their own azz before intial noms when Lala and Taylor shared the same sentiment out loud repeatedly. They act all high and mighty like they are innocent victims and it is beyond hypocritical. Just amazing chuk could care less about them but they’re playing the game that has been spelled out all along. Keeping chuk safe all because of culture and denying the opportunity of building coup with other players who go after the power alliance defies all and any logic. It is why I can’t get behind LaLa and Taylor and think they’re overrated. The snarky yet short sided strategic isolation will be their downfall.

Steveo

Taylor has a negative and miserable energy about her too. She doesn’t look like she is enjoying herself.

Aristophanes

Unlike the two previous HOH’s, Lala recognizes that the current power is fleeting, and there are repercussions to decisions made beyond the current week. Although Kamu and Haley’s HOH behavior made for good drama, neither grasped the battlefield in which they will find themselves, that they themselves created.

Nixie-Pix

Isn’t Taylor a social worker or Guidance Counselor? If so WOW, she doesn’t seem to have the proper language or attitude of someone in that field. It’s hard to understand the spoilers when the writer is writing the words the same Ebonics way those two or saying it. Geez I hope the next comp is an English test.

un autre nom

FOR ME.
La Trice might have some inklings of what is going on in the house.
She has the power distribution sussed out. She knows who got the powers. She doesn’t care.
HOWEVER,
She is operating off personal impressions, and those personal impressions are from the first two and a half weeks.
She stepped back even more after the nomination by Kamu because he was so condescending and demoralizing in how he spoke to her. She ghosted her own game for about a week and a half. She did so because she was afraid everyone hated her because Kamu told her everyone hated her.

Blindspots: Chuk. knowing someone is an op but refusing to nominate them? Stupid.
Dee and Angela. knowing they are dangerous and ops and knowing the alliance with them is fake… but planning to use them as shields. Also Stupid.

I’m not a huge fan of Shield theory. Never have been. Yes i see the point of keeping a bigger target ahead of you. But… in recent season everyone operates under the premise of keeping multiple shields. Guess what. At some point by that shield theory you will eventually be surrounded by ‘shields’ that are against you with nobody left to help you.

Tim

Love your thoughts. Have you ever applied to be on the show over the past 26 years? Or had any interest to do that?

un autre nom

I could never even think about being on a reality entertainment program. I edit my thoughts even when I’m ranting. They would vote me out the door before the theme song ended episode one.
I do have mutuals and 3rd degree of separation with a couple oldschool bbus people (no names will ever be given) and about a dozen bbcan formers (again my lips are sealed).
A lot of my thoughts come from one of my first careers being in pre-production planning and for a short period editing in the industry. Not for bb or bbcan (i’m canadian).
This is where the tinfoil comes from.

un autre nom

Current Kamu Corner Logic:
Chuk and Haley believe Kamu flipped the vote with assist from Devens.
Haley has enlisted Dee to investigate.
Chuk has gone to Angela to aid in the investigation.
blink blink.

I don’t think prodo made them choose have nots. I think they did it of their own accord.
Just me.

The fact so few houseguests have a game or personal relationship with La Trice is telling.
FOR HER game… just about everyone is fair game.
HOWVER, operating from a 2 week outdated read of house dynamic is foolhardy.
Looking at the now without looking at the effect next week is also not bright.

What does a one on one with La Trice look like? Half of them introducing themselves.
Does she hand out chores for safety?

whywecanthavenicethings

Lala OTB dealing with obvious racism from Kamu in a house that has an obviously MAGA leaning big power trio that is aligned with the 3 ‘icons’, then seeing how Kamu went after the ‘loud gay man’.

Of course she laid low. That’s what HGs do when they need to get the bad ju-ju shifted off of them and onto the next ‘ house loser’. It’s part of survival.

It can turn into obvious phony overplaying when a HG on the fringes suddenly starts trying to connect with too much of the house.

She has relationships with Dee and Angela. She had Rome and Jason which by proxy, gave her Melody and Mallory. She is good with Barrett. Obviously Taylor.

I think it’s hard for any white person to understand how difficult it is for an older female POC with all the ‘isms already manifesting so early, to reintegrate socially once she’s been highlighted by the Big Cheese Man as the old pesky fussy naggy ‘other’, in a way that doesn’t increase her target.Again, someone with all the ‘ism strikes against her has to have so much more finesse on that sort of thing than the privileged HGs. Whereas laying low for a bit is much simpler and actually can work.

FYI, I am a white cis older female.

I will contrast the season of Felicia who was appreciated as the mom you don’t mess with on her season, cooking and cleaning for the house. She had ‘ism reflectors to a degree bc Cerie was a true legend who is POC, and that shifted the perception with the two of them as the older and wiser duo to be respected. Whereas this season, Kamu pounced to weaponize racism against that very same type of persona.

whywecanthavenicethings

I see this as a well thought out and detailed plan. They did discuss a lot of particulars on the house dynamics and individual players. It’s clear they are aware of what’s been going on, more so than many other HGs.

Feeders getting twisted in knots bc Lala and Taylor decided to leave Chuk be for now, does not change the reality behind their reasoning.

Chuk for one is a good friend of Taylor, and he’s been laying low in the game. There is no good reason to throw him up there. It makes more sense to get rid of his strong allies and pull him in closer to them later on as a great meat shield.

If you have a much larger pool of HGs who have the traditional benefit of cultural privilege, you leave ‘the brother’ alone. Kamu is not white but he strives to be, with his conservative sexist homophobia and racist implications.

He felt so threatened by Drew’s joke about them kissing, he had to immediately throw in a comment about bowel laxity. A beloved gay young person cracked up when I told them, saying that’s not really a phrase for homophobes to us, that it sounds like Kami is on the down low deeply repressed tendencies.

Yet way too many feeders much more upset about leaving the brother off the block, rather than the grotesque homophobia. Says it all.

In that context, no way I’d want to put up Chuk either even though he is problematic in many of his own ways, when you have awful people like Kamu and Haley and need pawns to sit and backdoor with. The white boys who have an easier time blending in as alliance adds-ons will have to be the pawns.

If Drew hadn’t overplayed so hard and fast, he’d be riding on a lot of the perception by the other guys that he’s just one of them, good ole buddy. Even though he’s not doing that intentionally, it is an inherent privilege that he wasn’t automatically other-ed and seen as possible suss just by existing.

I say that as someone who is rooting for Drew and Melody and the underdogs. It’s not personal, but sorry dude, you got yourself into a spot early on having to be grateful you survived, so you’re the easy pawn going forward.

That is due to Drew’s own sloppy game, and Barrett can only hang on by the middle hoping the major competitor powers get taken down esp bc he has a messy messy number one.

ButtersMom

Im just going to say it… if Haley had said last week she wasnt putting up white girls because of a culture thing… it would be the end of the world but for LaLa and Taylor to say they cant put up chuk because of a culture thing… thats OK?! oh and I havent seen it mentioned but the reason the cameras shot away from the comp at the end is because LaLa peed herself on the wall and I guess they didnt want everyone to see that. ooops… too late… everyone saw it. first lyric pees in the showers and now lala pees on the comp set… has this happened in past seasons?

whywecanthavenicethings

Why is it so difficult to understand that there is no such thing as reverse racism? There’s been more than enough time and opportunity to learn that by now. It’s pure willful ignorance at this point.

double deuce

Enough with your racism obsession already.

whywecanthavenicethings

Seems the obsession is with those of you so very offended by POC wanting to equalize the imbalance of dominant culture privilege in the game…..

double deuce

A person of color is telling you that you have an unhealthy preference for the subject.

whywecanthavenicethings

You obviously have deeply projected perceptions based on frustration towards how these topics are discussed on social media.

Steveo

So you are saying a black person cannot be a racist? You are f*cking nuts and 100% wrong. The Cookout was 100% a racist alliance.

The Beef

You’re right – there is no such thing as reverse racism. Racism is racism – no matter the skin color of the person doing it, or the skin color of the person on the receiving end of it. Any and all races can practice it against any and all other races, pretty much except their own. What’s ignorant is that some people don’t want to admit that, when we see examples of it every stinking day throughout our daily lives.

Racism sucks, no matter who is doing it to whom.

un autre nom

Expect long delays when La Trice is called to d/r.
There is a reason she and Chuk are on the bottom of the d/r count.
Not just because they have limited storyline input,
but because some people suck in d/r.

Tre Billis

So knowing that most african americans do that, is it ok for whites to nominate them? I don’t think so. Remember what happened to the twerker (Kyle) when he suggested to do that? This type of behavior needs to be discouraged on both sides. It is just so frustrating because the other side of the house wins and this is what happens when they do.

un autre nom

Angela is having another “that’s the group” moment.
She has asked Chuk, and now she’s asking La Trice if Taylor Chuk La Trice and Yash have an alliance.
Say what you want. She will consistently lee the poc of a big brother house and jump to the conclusion that “that’s the group.”
