Big Brother fans, if you listen here regularly, you already know that Rick Devens won Week 2 Head of Household. And after the comp ended around 1 AM Eastern, we saw the key around his neck and Wild West costumes. And today, Devens made his nominations.
But before they had the nomination ceremony, the houseguests got the results of the BB Time Capsule. I’ll tell you who freaked the heck out when Angela Murray was revealed as the first time capsule winner.
So, real quick, last night, after Devens won HOH, Rome Seymour was immediately jockeying for safety for him, Lyric Medeiros and Jason de Puy and said they’d keep Devens safe next week if one of them won. LaTrice “Lala” Verrett wants Haley Thogmartin on the block but Devens said he promised her safety in the Wild West HOH comp.
Devens also made clear that Mallory Aurichio, Yash Patel and Taylor Brown won’t go up because they were all just on the block. That’ll narrow things down a lot when I tell you about the new ginormous alliance that formed last night in the BB28 house.
Big Brother 28: Tool Shed Alliance and Rome’s Doorbell Disaster
At about 4 AM, there was a whole bunch of conspiring houseguests up in the HOH room – it wound up with all the Crossovers up there along with the Red Corner three. That’s 8 people in this new umbrella alliance.
Now look at the math. With 16 in the house, 1 HOH and 2 final nominees not voting, that’s 13 voting which means 7 votes to evict. Devens can’t vote but the other 7 in their alliance can. So, if they stay locked in, they’re in control of the game for the foreseeable future.
This super-alliance has a name by the way – Tool Shed. So many joke lines come to mind. Drew Campbell came up with the Tool Shed name saying they were all tools, him being the biggest. They’re referring to Rome’s little group on the other side of the house as the Roman Empire.
Downstairs in the kitchen late last night, Jason, Rome and Lyric realized how many people had assembled upstairs in HOH. Rome decided to go up there and interrupt the meeting. Lyric told him not to do it. But Rome went up there anyway. And then it got awkward.
Big Brother 28: Rome Throws the Comp?
So, while Lyric and Jason stayed in the kitchen, Rome went up and rang the doorbell once. No answer. Twice, got ignored. The alliance was giggling and shushing each other pretending they’re not all in there? Not ready to give up, Rome pulled up a chair. He sat glaring at the door for a few minutes then stormed back downstairs to talk to Jason and Lyric about it. The Tool Shed, minus Devens, came streaming downstairs and Rome grouched at all of them for being up there and not answering the door. They played like they didn’t hear it.
Devens later told Rome he felt bad they didn’t answer the doorbell but I don’t think he really did because Devens was dancing upstairs watching Rome get angry on the HOH video screen.
Someone on the X hashtag made me laugh – shout out to Jessica Frey who said, “I guess Rome doesn’t like being submissive to the HOH.”
And apparently, Rome threw the HOH comp. I bet he’s regretting that now. Seems it was Haley who initially suggested the plan but then Devens was on board. He plans to nominate Lyric, Melody Morris and Jason, but is telling some people that Melody’s his target. But she’s not.
Big Brother 28: Rome Backdoor Plan and Angela’s Time Capsule Win
Devens’ plan is a Rome backdoor. Of course, with BB Blockbuster, it’s not a true blindside backdoor. But Devens wants to renominate Rome instead of directly nominating him. Because Devens doesn’t want Rome to have 2 chances to get off the block – POV and BB Blockbuster.
Melody and Mallory are starting to panic, realizing there’s a larger group they’re not part of. And that side of the house somehow thinks Haley’s running everything. No doubt because they all hate her. Lyric realized she might be a pawn with Rome the target.
Not sure how concerned she is though because Lyric got that “I love you” out of Rome. She said the other day it’d be a week before he said it and Lyric got it sooner than that. Then again, Rome was openly lusting on her underboob, so that might be what motivated him.
There was some other fun stuff on the feeds including Taylor Brown calling Haley a fake-ass Rachel Reilly. The hate for Haley’s so strong in this BB28 house. Jason and Rome were safe last week and now their first week of not being safe, and they’re freaking out.
And, in advance of the nomination ceremony, Angela let Devens know she’s ready in case Jason makes a big stink after he’s nominated. In fact, Angela’s planning to confront Jason if he pops off on Devens. Remember her low-budget movie rant in BB26?
Angela’s planning a sequel to tell the whole house that Jason was fake crying to manipulate her. So, Angela’s planning to say Jason’s a bad actor like in an after-school special, not even good enough for an indie film. Devens seems to be all-in on this, ready to bring the chaos.
Big Brother: Eggceptional Punishment
Meanwhile, Jason was camtalking, appealing to America to give him or Rome the Time Capsule and calls the big alliance all bullies. Jason was also crying a lot because he realized he’s going on the block. But after the reveal of the Time Capsule winner, there were more tears.
Guess who America chose for the first Time Capsule? None other than Angela. She was notified and left to play the challenge then came back in wearing a punishment costume because she lost. Angela’s stuck in Vince Panaro’s Egg Detective costume from BB27, which is a really funny one.
And then, she told Dee Valladares and Barrett Pfeiffer that she thinks America gave her the Time Capsule because they saw how dirty that Jason was doing her. Angela’s stuck in the costume for several days. Meanwhile, you could hear on the live feeds, Jason absolutely sobbing.
On the 4 screen split, you could see Angela and Dee and Barrett on the left two screens and this quivering figure in the bathroom on the other two screens, just absolutely bawling. Jason’s so traumatized by Angela being chosen over him that he cannot cope.
I do not think playing Big Brother is good for Jason’s mental health. When he had a gym floor meltdown, Rome kind of low-key called him out. Jason said he thought America would be rooting for them to win but is upset that America seems to be rooting for the vets.
Rome said of course they are – they’re the favorites – that’s why they’re on Big Brother. I know Jason’s not wanting to hear truths like that. But Rome also basically promised to make Angela cry because he’s upset that Lyric and Jason were crying.
Big Brother:
And before I confirm nominations for you, one more thing – Angela’s paranoia about Drew may come back to bite her. Sounds like he knows Angela’s been doubting him. And today, when Rome asked Drew who was running the big HOH meeting, Drew said “mostly the egg” – AKA Angela. Melody said she never liked that person. Drew said Devens co-signed the plan and Dee’s just there. So, if anyone spreads Drew talking behind the Tool Shed’s back, he’s going to be screwed. I mean bad.
And by the way, Have Nots for the week are Lyric, Rome, Kamuela “Kamu” Kirk, Jason and Barrett.
The feeds went down at about noon EST and came back up with some big hurt feelings in the house. Then
The feeds were rolling when Devens said this concludes the nomination ceremony. Screaming, crying insanity. Can’t wait to see this Wednesday night.
Jason was having an absolute fit and Angela was going off. She exposed Jason as she planned to do. For faking tears with her and for trying to pit her and Lala against each other. Jason was going nuts – Lala and Angela were crying in each other’s arms.
Melody ran out crying with Lyric trailing after her. Lala ran out crying like someone ran over her puppy. Jason called himself a messy bitch then screamed at the live feed cameras that America can hate him.
But for the record – official nominations – Lyric, Jason and Melody. I’ll have an update for you tomorrow with more of the fallout from this epic nomination ceremony.
