Rome Seymour

8:10pm Outside the HOH room – Devens and Lyric

Lyric – did Rome tell you that he was going to do that? Walking out? Devens – No, with you? Lyric – yeah. Devens – No, I had no idea. Lyric – crazy! Did he tell you anything about that? Devens – No, nothing. No, I was in the dark. I was glad he was talking to me at all. He wasn’t confiding all that in me. He didn’t tell you? Lyric – No. Devens – just shocker! Lyric – yeah. Devens – oh wow! That’s a lot. Your mind is probably still spinning from everything Huh? Lyric – well, I blacked out! I was like so in shock that he was actually.. Devens – yeah. Lyric I mentally prepared myself for it happening but when it happened I was like oh crap! He’s leaving, you know? Devens – yeah. Do you like him too? Lyric – I really like him, yes, but for me its important my family likes the person. Devens – right. Lyric – I told him, its really nice getting to know you but I really would love for my family to meet you. Devens – right, well they’ll love him. He’s so nice.

8:30pm – 9:15pm Gym – Kamu, Chuk and Yash
Kamu – Rome has stronger feelings for her than she has for him. You know? Yash – she’d be ripping that bro. Kamu – She told me she’s like when I first came to the house. She’s like my mom, she’s like, before coming to the house, my mom told me whatever you do, do not end up in a showmance. And she goes. And when I met Rome, you know, she’s like, Rome told me that he wanted to protect me. And so for me, having a like a big, strong physical threat or like, you know, physical competitor, protect me. She’s like, yeah, it sounded really nice, but she’s like I wasn’t looking for a showmance. So I feel for Rome because I think that he’s way more into her than she is to him. and she was just looking for somebody to protect her. Yash – he got got. Kamu – and yeah bro. Yash – and he got got. But that’s crazy she said all that, bro. Kamu – Even then, dude, even in the veto speech, she’s like, yeah, I’m only up here because of Rome. And although I do, I was like.. Chuk – I’d be hurt if like Ouch, I was like, damn girl, f**k you. You’re up there ’cause of your a$$, your own a$$ motherf**ker.

Rome is on the block after Devens took Lyric down at the Veto Ceremony, setting up a Rome, Melody and Jason Blockbuster on Thursday. Inside the majority, the worry is Drew and Barrett — while Dee and Devens plot to bluff a power they don’t have.

8:50pm Backyard – Drew and Barrett
Drew – I think this season is like very interesting because it’s very split and it would be easier if we were just very like seen on one side. Drew knowing that Kamu can hear him jokingly says – It’s like we’re not, but I would put Kamu up in a heartbeat just like comedy, like the biggest threat in this house, especially when it comes to the ladies? Like, how am I supposed to compete with a guy like that? We should come up with a final two name. I’m surprised we haven’t done that yet. Big Brother switches the feeds inside and then back out. Drew – Even Haley and Chuk. And then it might be open season for us to start f**king tearing it up. Its when does that happen. Barrett – I wouldn’t waste any time. Drew – It think Drew feels very vulnerable right now. Barrett – yeah but I mean it would guarantee that one big player goes home. Drew – it would which is a big, big space in this house. I am not doing anything crazy until Rome and Jason are out because I have such a good connection with Rome.

5:15pm Backyard – Rome and Devens
Devens – This one thing has been nagging at me since the speech that occurred on nomination night. Rome – I don’t remember nomination night, so I kind of blacked out. But one thing you said, when push came to shove you felt like you couldn’t trust me. I wanted to know specifically if there was anything I did to make you feel that way. Or if maybe you felt I had stronger connections elsewhere. But when I talked with you I was like, you’re one of the only people in this house I genuinely trust. And that’s why it hurt on a deeper level when I felt like someone that I genuinely trusted kind of like forked me a little bit. So it was nagging at me, like I wonder what I did that he felt like he couldn’t trust me. Devens – right. No, first of all I’m glad we get to talk this out because I hope you know you’re one of the people I like most in the house. Which is part of the reason I’m like dude this guy is a big problem. That specific line was just you have so many people you were with that I was just like when push came to shove I wouldn’t be a priority.

Devens won the veto, and now the whole house is circling one name. Behind the HOH door the Crossovers lock in — “it’s gotta be Rome” — while Drew reveals the showmance breakup may have been his idea all along. And Melody, still on the block, walks in ready to hand Devens exactly what he needs: her vote, and her word.

Devens holds both the HOH and the veto, and the backdoor plan is locked in. He walks Kamu through the whole endgame — pull Melody off, send Rome up, and let the Blockbuster decide whether Rome or Jason goes home, the guy over the girl either way. Across the house, Lyric, Melody, and Mallory come apart at the seams, knowing exactly who’s about to hit the block and powerless to stop it.
If you want it trimmed to meta-description length for the preview snippet:
Devens has the HOH and the veto, and the backdoor is set: Melody off, Rome up, and the Blockbuster decides whether Rome or Jason goes home.

6:40pm Bedroom – Lyric and Rome
Lyric – If I ask him to use the veto on me, he is going to put you up. Rome – Oh you’re going to ask him to use the veto on you? Lyric – well I want him to because I don’t want to be up there. I also don’t want you to be up there either. Rome – Oh I’ll be fine. Lyric – I don’t want to do that. Rome – Lyric, relax. I’ll be fine. Lyric – no but if you were leaving, I would literally die! Like I would ask to leave. Rome – No, no you would not. Absolutely not, you would make me angry if you did do that. What makes you think that he would use the veto on you? Lyric – I don’t know. Rome – did you talk to him or did you ask him if he is leaning any certain way with the veto? Lyric – no I haven’t had a conversation with him. Rome – then you have to do that first. But don’t sound desperate doing it because then it seems weird. Cause then it looks like Ok, you’ve never talked game with him before and now you’re asking him to use his veto on you… even though you’re the person he put up.
