Good evening, everyone
First, thank you, everyone, for your condolences. My mother has had dementia for two years, but was rapidly deteriorating over the last few months. I am deeply saddened by her passing, but after some hours to really let it sit in, she is no longer suffering. Plus, watching Big Brother reminds me of her and makes me feel better so I will likely still be posting updates as much as I can after taking the afternoon.
Will I have moments where I am gone for hours? Yes. But honestly, blogging helps me distract myself so I may end up doing this more than before.
So let me recap what has been happening in the house that you don’t already know…
-
Devens won HoH
-
He nominated a few pawns, with Rome as his main target
-
Angela called Jason out during the nomination ceremony for the stunt he pulled about losing his mother
-
Rome stood up quick, his chair nearly (or did) hit Haley and she started snapping at him. He called her an annoying b***h or something like that. Her two bodyguards stepped in front implying Rome would actually get violent with her? Come on. Anyway, she yelled some stuff back about his dick
-
Jason and Angela made up, but everyone assumed this meant he’s now the target
-
Wrong, Rome is still the target. Devens had every intention of making him the renom regardless of the arguments, so he’s in danger
-
Devens won HoH, and will almost certainly use the veto on Melody pitting Lyric vs Rome vs Jason.
So that’s about it for now. Quick recap in my bean bullet style.
Here are the updates for the rest of the night
(someone also asked about Bean Bot – let me explain. He’s my little buddy who watches social media, compiles everything people are saying, and summarizes what’s going on in the house every 30 minutes or so. Is it fully accurate? No. But it’s pretty damn close so far as I have a lot of checks in place to ensure it has the right info. The next step now is to give it CBS’ schedule so it stops tracking during episodes because it typically ends up picking up and mixing show stuff with live feeds. I’m improving it daily. I built it when I thought I was going to have a job, but after the recruitment agency screwing me over yesterday, I may be out of work for the foreseeable future. Great weekend I am having)
BB comics? So soon?
You know the more I read the updates the more I realize Rome needs to be the one to go. Jason annoys the hell out of me and maybe he can go next but this BS coming from Rome right and left? Go away now bye-bye.
Rome told Jason that he broke up with Lyric last night. I’m not buying that it is real.
Me either
It’s not
Sounds like the houseguests aren’t buying it either.
To many players today seem to go into the house with the mindset that everyone else is just there to help them get to the F2 people reference the catchphrase from the Highlander movie there can be only one.
Been quietly following you for several years, but joined today so I can speak to the loss of your mother. My heart hurts for you & will lift prayers. Lost my mom 5 years ago & that loss is still raw. Thank you for the work you do to keep us updated on the hampsters. Your insight helps a lot.
Welcome buckie
Welcome new BB Junkie
Welcome in, and thank you for the support for our beloved Steve. Truly sorry for the loss of your Mother.
Lyric and Melody are delusional a bit I think. This whole devens is a bad guy narrative theyre spinning because “hes a grown man with a family and I always thought itd be a girl that put me up” and “ya know its a bad look”. Devens being a great strategic player is not “a bad look” just because hes not catering to you lmao
And now mallory with a “devens has no friends and its sad” slant hahaha I know we see so much more than them, but damn, they seem to be oblivious
It’s like high school all over again.
Mallory in the kitchen making cookies and talking with Yash and Jason. She is very angry with Barrett because she figured out he is working with the other side. But they said they still don’t think Drew is.
I don’t know when the conversation between Devens and Kamu happened but they were talking about Jason and doing drag. Kamu made it very clear he has “a reputation as an MME fighter” to uphold and he would never do that. Devon’s kind of went along with it and now a lot of people are freaking out calling them both homophobic.
Honestly I’m tired of people taking a little bit of one conversation making it out to be a lot more than it actually is.
One of the biggest people on the internet right now trying to cancel them two out is Frankie Grande. Which he needs to watch what he does because a lot of people are reposting the video where he was egging Derek and Cody into doing something to Victoria that I will not repeat but it starts with an R.
I never liked Frankie and it has nothing to do with him being gay. I remember what you’re talking about. I’ve never trusted him
I hope that fool Frankie never gets invited back to BB for ANYthing.
When they brought him back for that quick little skit last time I wanted to throw up.
He was a disgusting human. Don’t even like saying his name. It’s the F word to me!
Yep
I just saw this & honestly it made me jump out of my skin LOL. If I was Angela I would have pissed myself.

I got rid of X so I can’t tell what the picture is?
I just redownloaded it on my phone this afternoon. I will delete it again when the season is over.
I must be old, I keep seeing &, what am I missing lol
*&*
I must be old too, cause I have no idea.
Did I see correctly, in the bathroom after everyone left, Lyric flirting BIG time actually like she was coming on to Chuck?!?!?!?
If it happened, I missed it. Wouldn’t surprise me.
I didn’t see it either. But it also wouldn’t surprise me because she seems to me to be somewhat of a flirt anyway and is trying to save herself.
Re: the 5:32 PM PT feed update: “Lyric is campaigning hard to Dee, pushing to get taken off the block so Rome goe…”
A small White Lotus “2 degrees of separation”. I was in a really popular Survivor group on Facebook for a while and I met Mike White’s sister and we’ve become friends.
That’s Awesome! <3
Thank you Steve for explaining Bean Bot. Technology is freaking amazing.
Sending you love.
So sorry Steve on the loss of your mom. My dad died in May. Lung cancer, double pneumonia, sepsis. My mom had been with him since she was 17 years old. She is still so pitiful without him.
Hugs and love
Lyric is campaigning for them to take her down and put up Rome, which is probably what he told her to do. I’m sure they think he will either win blockbuster or have the votes to stay. I personally think they need to leave her up there with Rome to have a better chance of getting him out because more people would vote to keep her. But, just my opinion at this point.
hard agree. Honestly, I just dont think any of them are gonna be able to say anything thats gonna convince devens and dee from whatever strategic move they think is best, which at this point is definitely getting rome out I think. Theyre cold strat players, the other sides only hope is they slip up and give some information that somehow makes dee and devens adjust the plan and it somehow has the consequence of helping them out
100% You would be absolutely stupid to remove her from the block just to put Rome up. Then there’s still only one of them on the block You need both of them on the block then you take the chance of one still coming down but doing that gives you one more chance to keeping them both up there. One has to go. I think it would be Rome, but if by chance Lyric goes I think Rome will spiral and lose his mind. And I will completely be here for it. I would also let Melody know what those two are up to. Not that she doesn’t know what they’re up to but to know it and to hear it are always two different things.
Unfortunately from the talk Devens, Dee, and Angela just had they are going to take her down and try to get Rome to agree to give Devens 2 weeks of safety for it just in case he stays. They also feel they have the votes to get Rome out. But things can always change.
He wins the blockbuster then it’s all over. It’s so stupid who cares about 2 weeks safety if he’s not even in the house.
Re: the 5:01 PM PT feed update: “Lots of scrambling after the veto ceremony blew up that side of the house. Yash …”
The funny part is, it is Devens idea for Melody to come down. Aren’t they cute thinking they’re smart.
Re: the 4:56 PM PT feed update: “Fairly slow night so far. Lots of small campaigning while they wait for the back…”
Quick question Steve about the feeds? Did Chuk tell Yash about the whole entire alliance or did he only tell him about the Red Corner? I had the feeds on silence for a while but I know they’ve been talking for a really long time and then when I turn the volume back on I was only catching the tail end of the conversation.
I just want to put out there I really wish that the feeds had subtitles. It’s real frustrating not being able to hear what they are saying when they are whispering. And it does me no good screaming at my computer “Talk A Little Louder!” Bc they don’t listen.
Hi Lynn, I can turn on the subtitles on my Mac.
I’m good with either Rome or Jason going.
I agree, either 1 can go.
I’m leaning more on Jason. I can’t stand him
The problem is we do have to break up the Rome / Lyric duo
THIS
Wow, Devens who I don’t think ever won anything but the coin toss on Survivor has won two back-to-back comps? Maybe his destiny was BB and not Survivor.
That coin toss was EPIC it just sucks that it didn’t help him at all in the end.
And he still had such a great attitude about someone else winning double the prize money!
Perhaps not but he was one hell of a player finding idols and things to help him. I’m hoping he does well this summer
I’m waiting for him to tear the house apart looking for an idol! Not really but it would be fun.
I wish they still had Hide And Go Veto because he would kill it!
My God yeah that would be hilarious!
Yay! Devens won veto. The plan is to take someone down and put up Rome, but who? Last night they were discussing if it might be a good idea to keep Jason since pretty much nobody will trust him now.
There is a lot of time before Monday’s meeting so it will be interesting to see what they do.
My bet is that Melody is coming down.
SWEET!!!! Does anyone know what kind of a challenge it was?
I’m thinking it was the drag-line. Where they have to traverse across and identify the differences in their posters.
Ahh!
I’m thinking it was the drag-line. Where they have to traverse across and identify the differences in their posters.
It was some kind of puzzle
Oh, I am so good with anyone of Lyric, Rome or Jason going this week.
The lovebombing is wild. Its at a point where it borderline feels like strategy to keep her close. Dont know how she thought for even a second she could pass off a breakup lie
I absolutely think he is using her. She and her friends are numbers for him.
100%
Lyric definitely needs to wake the he**up and kick Rome’s ass out the door!
Yes. It sounds like she and her mother are really close. I would love to hear what her parents think.
Yep.
Glad to hear that this will be able to get your mind on other things Steve. It’s good to have a distraction. And of course it sucks about the job thing. I’m sure you’ll have no problem finding something that’ll make you happy.
