“What’s the plan? .. Yash, Taylor .. to keep Haley close.”

3:05 AM — Taylor and Mallory (Have Not Room)

Taylor and Mallory are in the Have Not room. Word has got back to them that Drew has been telling people Mallory wanted to keep Kamu.

Taylor: “It’s getting crazy at this point.”
Taylor: “I can respect somebody way more who I know I don’t f— with. You know what I’m saying? Somebody who’s playing both sides.”
Taylor: “I feel like get the floaters out, get the people who are ghosting out.”

Taylor: “No, y’all are pushing the fact that y’all did not want to keep Kamu. And Drew wanted to keep Kamu. You and Melody did not want to keep Kamu. Did not.”
Mallory: “Ohhhh.”
Taylor: “Only if — I can say that, only if he wasn’t sitting next to Haley. And they wanted to keep Kamu.”
Taylor: “Oh, am I saying it right?”
Mallory: “Yeah.”
Taylor: “They wanted to keep him, and me and Melody didn’t. That would be what I’d say.”

Mallory: “But I don’t know, because I know Dee wanted Kamu out.”
Taylor: “Exactly. Drew was the one pushing to do it. That’s not a secret.”
Production: “Please do not obstruct your microphone.”
Taylor: “Nobody’s obstructing their microphone at all.”

Mallory: “I might do it that way, but I feel like it’s risky for her to think I’m going in there throwing people under the bus. Because that’s what happened to Lyric.”

Mallory says Melody trusts Drew a lot less now.

Taylor: “Does she trust Barrett?”
Mallory: “We trust them, but… I think they have lied to me, honestly.”
Taylor: “I’m trying to find a way for her to remember why she said she will put up Drew and Haley.”
Taylor: “They are going to try so hard not to go up.”

Mallory: “Yeah, Drew was upset that Kamu was gone.”
Taylor: “Drew was upset Kamu was gone — or upset that Dee said she would put him up?”
Mallory: “I don’t want to push too hard that I’m trying to go against Drew. I think that looks bad.”
Mallory: “Lyric did that with me, and Haley made her the renom just because she was trying to throw people under the bus.”
Mallory: “That makes so much sense too. I don’t want to seem like I’m in here trying to save myself.”

Taylor: “My brain not understanding s— no more.”
Mallory: “It’s okay.”
Taylor: “Because I can’t even fathom right now. Nothing’s making sense.”
Taylor: “You know when you’re tired, you start hearing stuff, but you’re not… I can’t comprehend it anymore. I’m tapping out.”

Mallory: “But I feel like everybody knows that Haley doesn’t like Dee.”
Taylor: “I don’t know.”
Mallory: “Haley could just be playing.”
Taylor: “Haley could be playing a game that I’m upset at the whole vote thing. I was just trying to keep the alliance together. I just wanted you to be honest with me.”

Taylor: “I think if I was Dee — as much as I love Yash, let me be for real — I feel like she would put up Drew and Haley, because she already pissed him off by saying she’d put them up, and because she told Yash and Yash told them.”
Taylor: “She will put up Yash. But because Yash is a good competitor, she might put somebody up instead of Yash and try to backdoor Yash.”
Mallory: “Yeah, she will backdoor Yash.”
Taylor: “Who will be the third nominee?”
Mallory: “One of us.”
Taylor: “One of us three.”
Mallory: “Or Melody.”

Taylor: “She possibly don’t need her no more. Because was she talking to you or no?”
Mallory: “Not really. But she was talking to Melody.”
Taylor: “I noticed that. Like, wow, she was talking to Melody a lot.”
Taylor: “I was thinking, well, if Drew is already on that side, it’s probably easier to convince Melody that she’s cool with Melody.”
Taylor: “That way, if Melody is on board, Drew would definitely come to that side because Melody is on that side.”

Taylor: “But I definitely feel like she, like I said, she would probably put up Haley, Drew, one of us, of course. And then backdoor Yash.”
Mallory: “Yeah, I think that would be her plan.”

Lala comes into the Have Not room.

Taylor: “And I don’t like it.”
Mallory: “I don’t like it either.”
Mallory: “Haley’s left, that’s good, because as long as Haley doesn’t win the veto or the Blockbuster, I think she’ll go.”
Taylor: “Haley should’ve gone home today.”

Taylor: “Doesn’t matter who won the veto or the Blockbuster, whatever the case, because one of them would have won. One of them would have came up.”
Mallory: “A pawn would have went up.”
Taylor: “And once again, out of those three, one of them would have won the Blockbuster again.”
Taylor: “But out of us, no matter who sat next to who was left, the better competitor would have gone home. There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Taylor: “Y’all, if y’all let Devens get to them last two seats, I’ma vote for him.”
Lala: “I wouldn’t.”
Taylor: “You know why? Because at that point, it’s y’all fault. Because what? Why would y’all let that happen?”
Mallory: “I would never vote for an Icon to win.”
Taylor: “If she got that far, that’s what I’m saying. If she got that far, that means she damn good. Especially that y’all know that she’s a good player because she already won.”
Taylor: “I would be like, what the f— are y’all doing? Like, are you stupid or are you dumb?”

Taylor: “Because just know, if Dee make it to top two, it’s either she won the final HOH or somebody brought her.”
Taylor: “And the fact that somebody would pick Dee to sit next to you. Are you dumb? You’re dumb.”
Production: “Please put on your microphone.”
Lala: “I have on my microphone. I’m just not talking loud enough for y’all, and I’m not going to.”

Mallory: “In my head, I’m thinking, you dumb enough to take Dee with you. Unless it’s Devens.”
Taylor: “If you smart, you wouldn’t take another Icon with you to sit next to you.”
Taylor: “I don’t know. I’m just talking. At this point, I don’t know.”
Production: “Lala, please put on your microphone.”

Taylor leaves. Lala and Mallory keep going.

Lala: “And Drew won’t even look at me. Like, he won’t even look at me. He won’t even look at me.”
Lala: “He goes back and forth so much, it’s ridiculous.”
Lala: “There’s no need for us to go home early if we don’t have to.”
Lala: “I just, I’m so baffled by that. So baffled.”

Lala: “Because if Barrett and Drew had been with us, we would have had the votes.”
Lala: “And I thought we were all on one accord. I thought we all said the same things when we were up in the HOH room. And I don’t know what swayed and what happened.”
Mallory: “He’s never been on their side. He’s not on their side, he’s on our side.”
Lala: “So we would have had the votes.”

Mallory: “Yeah, I’m saying for the vote last week.”
Lala: “Oh, oh, oh.”
Mallory: “That’s why we all agreed in the HOH room that if Haley won the Blockbuster, we would vote him out. Nobody thought Angela would win the Blockbuster.”
Lala: “So nobody did the — okay, okay, if she wins, and it’s Haley. Because I was told that if she won, and it was Haley and Kamu, Haley was gone.”
Mallory: “Yeah, that’s what I thought it was going to be. They would have had the numbers without me, Melody and you guys. It wasn’t going to matter what anyone else said. He was going to go.”

Lala: “No. Because Kamu against Haley, Kamu would have stayed, because we would have had me, Taylor, you, Drew and Barrett.”
Mallory: “Drew?”
Lala: “Yeah, I’m saying if we had Drew and Barrett. When we were in HOH, we had all agreed who we were keeping. We had all made that decision.”
Lala: “So who flipped it? Drew?”
Mallory: “I think Drew and Barrett talked about it together.”
Lala: “They just f—ed it all up. They f—ed it all up.”

Lala: “And now they’re hanging with them and they’re on their side. But they’re the first ones they’ll put up. They don’t even get it. They don’t f—ing get it.”
Lala: “Okay, Barrett’s fanned out. Obviously, he’s fanned out over them.”
Lala: “And Drew is just such a freaking gooseneck.”
Lala: “And that sucks because we counted them into our numbers. And that means they f—ed the whole thing up.”

Lala: “And I’m just so freaking — I’m so disappointed. I’m so disappointed. I don’t even have words.”
Lala: “Like we had it. We had it. We had it.”
Lala: “So we could have just — even if she was HOH, they wouldn’t have the votes.”
Mallory: “We would have had the votes.”
Lala: “So now we gotta figure something out. And figure it out without Drew and Barrett. And that’s f—ed up. Because she’s about to pick somebody else off.”
Lala: “And that’s because of them and that’s their fault.”

Mallory: “Hopefully this week it’s Haley.”
Lala: “I don’t think it’s gonna be. I don’t think it’s going to be.”
Lala: “What makes you think that Dee’s going to put Haley up?”
Mallory: “Because Haley doesn’t like Dee. Like, I feel like more than anybody.”
Lala: “Because Angela and Dee have been hanging, and Haley’s been on their hips like you would not believe. So I don’t know. I don’t think she’s going to put her up, but I might be wrong.”

Mallory: “I’m like, what do I hope? I feel like the only reason Haley stayed this week is because people saw Kamu was more of a threat.”
Lala: “They’re morons. They’re morons.”
Lala: “He was a threat on our side. A threat against them. They saw him as a threat, yeah. But he was a vote for us.”
Lala: “And that’s why I thought everybody was clear on that when he didn’t use the veto, remember? And I was showing — okay, listen, I’m showing you guys.”

Lala: “The whole thing is, now the plan is, even if Haley goes home this week, whatever, the Icons are still here. It’s going to be two of them that are going to the jury house at least.”
Mallory: “I’m going to win the next one. I really wish I won it this week.”
Lala: “I know. I thought you would. I thought you had it.”
Mallory: “But that just means I can win the next one.”
Lala: “I have no choice. I’m cooked.”

Mallory: “Which one needs to go, Dee or Devens?”
Lala: “Devens. He is maniacal. He is maniacal. But he or Dee, definitely. Because Dee has won a million dollars already.”
Lala: “He’s very smart. He’s got a mean social game. And he doesn’t give two s—s about lying — that’s the thing. Because he promised Rome he wasn’t going up. He promised him, and he put him up. I was like, wow.”
Lala: “Dee is kind of cut-throat too, though, so I don’t know. But I think that Devens would be my first shot.”
Mallory: “Yeah, me too.”

Lala: “But bottom line, if I put all three of them up, somebody got to go home. All three of them go up, and y’all battle it out. See who gets what, but somebody’s going home.”
Lala: “Because if there’s only two of them up there, one of them’s off, get a veto, save another one. So all three of them go up.”

Lala: “But Drew — Drew’s gonna get his. Drew’s gonna get his, I’m telling you right now. Because somebody’s going to get him really good. And he’s going.”
Lala: “Because he’s f—ed around back and forth too much. And swears that, oh no, I’m here. I’m with you guys. I’m with you guys. And the next thing you know, he’s over there.”
Lala: “It’s not going to fly. It’s not right. That’s not how you do it. It’s just not.”

Lala: “And he was in Yash’s room every day, every day. But then he was in Devens’ room every day, every day, you know?”
Mallory: “Even Dee’s first HOH.”
Lala: “He was in Haley’s room every day, every day. So he flip-flops back and forth and he says, no, I’m with you guys, I’m with you guys.”
Lala: “I would have rather taken him out than Chuk, because the way he’s acting is ridiculous.”
Lala: “I’m really disappointed in it. I really am. Because I thought we had a whole cohesive thing going. I thought we all had a group. We don’t.”

Lala: “So, we’ll figure it out. I’m not giving up yet.”

Mallory suggests Yash might come out of the vault with a power.

Lala: “I pray. Because that would be something that would give us at least a little something push.”
Lala: “Because I’m trusting you and Mal — I mean you and Melody. I’m trusting you guys. Because, I mean, we don’t have anybody. I can’t trust Barrett and I can’t trust Drew now. And that’s unfortunate.”
Lala: “So the power that I get tomorrow — because I’m manifesting it — is, you know, take over HOH. So that would be freaking awesome.”

Taylor comes back in and they go to sleep.

3:05 AM — Dee and Devens (HOH)

Devens comes up to the HOH room. Dee has just had her room reveal and is reading her letter.

Devens: “You wanna just do everything tomorrow?”
Dee: “No, no, no, no.”
Devens: “I wanted to clear out your room. I figured if I didn’t start it, no one would.”
Dee: “Yeah, I was just reading the letter.”
Devens: “It’s good that they make you do those things. All the right things.”
Dee: “Yeah. My mom was like, I don’t understand what’s happening in the game. And then my mom was like, hopefully you start learning how to cook. I’m like, b—-.”
Devens: “There you go.”

Dee: “So what do you want to do?”
Devens: “Whatever.”
Dee: “The same?”
Devens: “What’s that?”
Devens: “Yash, Taylor. That makes sense to me, to keep Haley close. And we’ll have plenty of time to talk tomorrow with the group or whatever.”

Dee: “The only thing is, like, Yash — he wouldn’t be backdoored. And that’s scary.”
Devens: “It’ll be tough to get him this week if he’s not backdoored.”
Dee: “Because it’s against Lala and Taylor and me, and I’m not f—ing good at puzzles. So if it’s a veto with puzzles…”
Dee: “And then also, who do I put up? If I’m trying to solidify trust with Haley…”
Devens: “That’s tricky, because you can’t really put up anyone from the Mosh Pit without blowing it up quick.”

Devens: “I don’t know.”
Dee: “Whatever. I’ll think about it tomorrow. I’m just going to see what everybody says.”
Devens: “Get everyone together in the morning or sometime tomorrow. I mean, they’ve been doing it like 5 p.m.”
Dee: “I would love a world just to see where everybody stands and what they’re going to say.”
Devens: “What do you mean?”
Dee: “I was on the block last week. What the f—? Who’s saying my name? Where did it come from?”
Devens: “Just, like, sit and wait.”

Dee: “And yeah, I guess just set us up for the next weeks. Because Barrett and Mallory, inseparable.”
Dee: “Melody and — what’s his name — Drew. Inseparable.”
Dee: “And Mallory, very close to Yash too. We’re next.”
Devens: “Yeah, Mallory’s spending all her time with him, even tonight.”
Dee: “Yeah, with Yash, right? Yeah, I saw that.”
Devens: “What the hell is going on?”

Dee: “I went into the room to ask to use his pad thai leftover, and then he was there, sitting down, talking.”
Dee: “And then in the bathroom, she’s like, you don’t have to act scared. Of course, I get it. But I don’t f—ing care. You’re not gonna play this middle game.”
Devens: “Totally codependent. It’s insane to me.”
Devens: “I would love to see one of them go.”
Dee: “Me too.”
Devens: “Sometime soon.”

Devens: “But you’re gonna crush it. We’ll set the stage. Love you. Congratulations.”
Dee: “Oh man, this is crazy, Devens. We’re here for another week.”
Dee: “What are they doing? What are they doing?”
Devens: “Only Yash was the smart one.”
Dee: “I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”

Devens leaves. Dee is alone in the room.

Dee: “Let’s go. So happy. It’s the best freaking day ever.”

Dee: “Wow. Two HOHs, baby. Just why not keep making myself a bigger target?”
