DEE WON Head Of HouseHold! “We have to start thinking about who we want to take to the end.”

Storage Room – Barrett and Mallory
Barrett – I think she (Dee) is going to do Yash, Taylor, Lala. There are only four people she could go. Mallory – why can’t she put up Haley. Barrett – I think she likes Haley slightly more. Mallory – Haley hates me. Barrett – I think so, that’s why I want to ask her .. like we should pull Haley in and I kind of want to be like that’s not a good idea. And not pull her in, I think she said half pull her in. Mallory – she is half pulled in with Yash and Taylor. Barrett – yeah exactly. Mallory – So that is a bad idea. The next HOH is MINE! Barrett – she literally just said to you before the HOH, you’re good .. forever. Mallory – I know but what if she didn’t mean it. Barrett – that would be a crazy immediate backhand lie. Mallory – I am afraid she is going to do 3 original noms to be diplomatic. Yash, Taylor and Haley. Barrett – she is not going to do that. You’re fine. Mallory – Ok, don’t tell her that I’m nervous. Yash, Taylor and Haley are going to know we’re not with them when we’re not up. Barrett – no, I don’t think so because what are they going to do .

“Them motherf**kers better hope I don’t win Head Of Household! I told you DREW was a Motherf**ker!”

6:30pm Gym – LALA and Taylor
Taylor – I didn’t know either. They whispered to me the second Angela got back while they were all doing the hugs and stuff congratulating Angela. Melody and Mallory grabbed me and said Kamu don’t have the votes to stay. I know but there was nothing we could do. There was absolutely nothing we could do. What are you most upset about. Lala – that I don’t have anyone in the house that I can trust. I am so f**king pissed off I don’t know what to do with myself. I am so f**king mad right now! Taylor – I agree. Lala – SO F**KING MAD! Taylor – I agree. I am mad as hell but I can’t show it. You can’t show that you’re mad. I am steaming. I am steaming. When you walk out of here you cannot be mad. Lala – Them motherf**kers better hope I don’t win Head Of Household! I swear! Taylor – no don’t let them hope.. just do it! But we winning this week for sure. I am pissed off. And I kept trying to catch your eye but I knew it would have been obvious. But it was too fast .. it wasn’t going to be a good look. Lala – tell me how we didn’t have the votes? Taylor – Because Drew and Barret told Melody and Mallory that they were not voting to keep Kamu… even though they were acting like they were. Lala – I told you DREW was a Motherf**ker!

“You’re Pandora’s Box and I opened you. I understand what I unleash.”

Devens spent three weeks holding a power nobody knew about, and less than two days after spending it he went and sat down with the man it landed on. He told Kamu it was never about trust — he did trust him. That was the problem. Kamu is more likable than he is, better connected than he is, and anybody who sits beside him on the block goes home. “You’re Pandora’s box and I opened you,” Devens said, “and I understand what I unleash.” He admitted he might have played it wrong and that he has almost certainly burned Yash for good. Kamu listened to all of it and still left the door open: there may be a world, he said, where the two of them work together down the road.

**updated** I Was Never Planning On Being Loyal To Mosh Pit. But Yeah, If I Was HOH, F— Mosh Pit

Mallory spent the afternoon taking apart the seven-person alliance she had just joined, and by midnight the four people she actually plays with had decided Kamu goes home Thursday — then held a ceremony over a pile of rocks and chanted “scorched earth” forty-one times. Along the way Barrett let slip he knows about Dee’s Bribe, Yash told Kamu they will never know how close the two of them really are, and Kamu admitted the houseguest who sold Mallory out was Drew, not the evicted Lyric he blamed for it.

“I’ll f**King go against everybody in this damn house.”

Kamu spent the night after the ceremony doing arithmetic. He needs five votes. He walked Haley through where they might come from and kept arriving at the same wall — the Icons are going to rock with each other long before they rock with anyone else, and Devens just proved it in front of the whole house. Drew gave him the only honest read of the night, and it was not encouraging: the votes are a losing battle, win the Blockbuster. Meanwhile the woman Devens saved was not being remotely careful about it. Dee spent the evening agreeing with Angela to be seen together less, and then said the quiet part at full volume: “I’ll f—ing go against everybody in this damn house.”

Week 6 Veto Ceremony Results: “We’re About to Turn This Game on Its Head”

Devens won the Diamond Power of Veto in the Week 3 Time Capsule and told exactly one person. For three weeks nobody else knew he was holding anything at all. Drew and Barrett worked out that he had something on Saturday night, and Melody got there independently at 3 AM, but none of them knew what it was. On Sunday morning Devens told Dee he had decided, knowing what it would cost him with the two allies keeping him safe: “I can’t save you and be with them. I’m gonna save you.” He warned nobody else. At the ceremony he pulled Dee off the block, named Kamu in her place, and the Head of Household had no say in it.

Devens “Kamu is public enemy, problem number one!” Dee “I want to get that out of here so bad.”

It started with three people in the storage room and ended with seven and a name. Devens, Dee and Drew opened Sunday afternoon agreeing that Kamu was the problem — not the biggest threat to Devens personally, he said, but the biggest threat in the game. By eight, Kamu and Taylor were in the backyard building the identical case against Barrett, neither aware the other conversation had happened. By ten it had stopped being a feeling and become an alliance: Angela, Dee, Drew, Devens, Melody, Mallory and Barrett, calling themselves the Mosh Pit, all pointed at one man. Devens gave him the label that stuck — “Kamu is public enemy, problem number one!” — and Dee answered it: “I want to get that out of here so bad.”
