Drew spent nearly two hours in his own Head of Household room being told, by the only person still willing to sit with him, that he deserves to go home for the way he has played. He mostly agreed. He called voting Mallory out his biggest regret in the game — twice — then asked Melody whether she believed him, and got “because you’re a liar” for an answer. In between there was wine, a hot dog vendor impression, a story about a school that wasn’t a school, and Melody counting the five vetoes she has played and lost. Close to three in the morning, with the veto ceremony still to come and the Icons asking him to handle her, he told her she is not going up as his replacement nominee.

Drew won the Blockbuster, saved himself off the block, and then voted out the person his closest ally in the house cared about most. Mallory was evicted 6–2, with Barrett and Melody the only two votes to keep her — and by 6:43 PM Melody had Drew cornered in the pod room, doing the arithmetic […]

7:45pm HOH room – HOH bathroom – Dee, Haley and Angela
Dee – Its interesting that Yash would evict Taylor over Mallory. I guess that makes me feel even more of a reason to get rid of Mallory because that means that Mallory and Yash together is so bad to have in this game. Because they are really good competitors. Haley – wait hold on I did say one other thing I just hope and because I don’t want this to backdoor me .. or to backfire me I just said I just pray that Mallory wins then. If this is the case, I hope she wins. However I do want all my words to be out on the table with him because how was I supposed to navigate that conversation. Angela – I know, we have to tell people what they want to hear in a way just to get the conversations. Haley – Ok, I needed to make sure you guys knew my cards. Dee – I genuinely thought that Yash would vote to evict Mallory over Taylor based on my perception of how close they are but if now Yash is voting to evict Taylor over Mallory. That not only tells me, because they’re both f**king phenomenal competitors.. even more of a reason to get rid of Mallory.

Dee slept on the blindside and got cold feet, so she and Devens built a softer version: put it to Drew and Barrett first, and blindside them anyway if they refuse. They held the meeting, and Barrett told Dee to her face, in front of everyone, that he was angry — the first time he had done it. What neither of them knows is that Barrett and Yash, the two votes the whole plan runs on, had already decided separately to keep Mallory.

8pm Bedroom – Yash and Mallory
Mallory – Yeah I am feeling better in general. I am feeling better about the votes unless they decide they want to keep Taylor over me which I don’t think they will. I should be fine. And between me and Drew, I’m good. Yash – yeah. Mallory – I feel like I trust all of them. Yash – we just know these f**kers like to do that last minute sh*t. Mallory – yeah. I don’t need their votes if its me versus Drew. Yash – yeah if its you and Drew, you’re guaranteed. That’s why if like f**king Taylor wins.. (throws his hands up .. that Drew goes). That is a MASSIVE “W”. Mallory – Cause I think they want her to stay .. and Dee was like dumb to put me up. Yash – yeah. Yeah so tomorrow I am going to think about what she says tomorrow. I am just going to ask her each scenario what of happens. Mallory – yeah. Yash – because whatever she says is going to tell me what Angela and Devens are doing. Like they’re never going to go against each other. Mallory – Barrett told me that she thinks she has the numbers for (against) Drew but I don’t know who she thinks she has.

Mallory went up to the HOH room to make peace, and Dee told her exactly what she wanted to hear: Taylor is the target. Ten minutes later Dee was telling Devens the opposite — that the best case is Taylor winning the Blockbuster so they can send Mallory home instead. By 4:35 PM the two of them had decided to do it without telling Drew and Barrett, and Devens already had the line ready for afterwards: they did it for their own good.
