Big Brother veto meeting results are in including the names of the three nominees heading into Thursday night’s BB Blockbuster. Haley Thogmartin had to make a renom because of course Taylor Brown used the veto to save herself.
But there was some scrambling as people tried to keep themselves off the block as the renom. We’ll get into the veto meeting and some confrontations before it went down. Also, some thoughts about BB Time Capsule winner Dee Valladares and what she plans to do with her BB Bribe advantage.
Big Brother Spoilers: Lyric Tries to Work Magic
On Sunday, Lyric Medeiros began to realize there was a good chance she could hit the block and was doing all she could to stop it. She went to Chuk Anyanwu and told him Haley said during the HOH comp that she wouldn’t nominate her.
Haley said that to Lyric but Haley also made clear she said nominate not renom. That’s just like what Kamuela “Kamu” Kirk told Jason De Puy. “I won’t nominate you today“. Then he renommed him.
So, Lyric worked both guys. She told them both that Mallory Aurichio was coming for them, threw Mallory under the bus hard trying to push for Haley to renom Mallory. It was Kamu who first went to Haley about Lyric on Saturday night to try to keep her off the block.
That sent Haley into a fit of anger. Then, Haley got a replay of that on Sunday night, when someone went to advocate for Lyric. And Haley got even more upset. Lyric’s strategy worked on both guys. And that infuriated Haley.
Big Brother: Haley’s Giving Hate
But even so, Lyric’s not her target for eviction. Drew Campbell is still the one his own alliance wants to target. Angela Murray is pushing for it so hard. Mallory’s in denial about Lyric trying to get her on the block as the renom to save herself.
What’s funny is Melody Morris acted shocked in front of Mallory when they heard that. Mallory actually tried to defend saying she didn’t do it in a malicious way. And ironic that Melody threw Mallory under the bus in week 1.
Then, last week, when there was a plan to try and save Jason which would greatly benefit Melody’s side of the house, she ran that right to Kamu. She ruined what could’ve been a move to get some balance in BB28. And now, Melody’s on the block, it’s clear Haley hates her.
And what’s funny is when Lyric talked to Haley pre-veto meeting trying to stay off the block, Haley laid into her about turning on her friends and allies. She told Lyric that she knows that Lyric talked a lot last night to a lot of different people and the stories were not the same.
Haley said Lyric’s jumping ship and it doesn’t look great that these are her best friends she is so quick to throw under the bus. Haley called out Lyric specifically for scrambling after Rome Seymour and Jason are gone. But that’s how you play Big Brother.
Big Brother 28: Veto Meeting and Strategic Chaos
All that said, Lyric may actually be safe on the block even if she doesn’t win the Blockbuster. Melody and Drew are much bigger targets than she is right now. The Toolshed wants Drew gone and Barrett Pfeiffer abandoned him to save his own butt.
He’s not fully trash-talking Drew in convos with Rick Devens trying to stay safe. And also, Drew seems to think he’s safe when he’s not. Likely because everyone’s lying to him. Devens keeps insisting that Drew’s good this week.
At the veto meeting, Drew made a big speech asking Taylor to use the veto on him, which would never happen. Sure enough, she used the veto on herself and Haley put Lyric on the block. But even so, Haley doesn’t seem to want Lyric gone.
Also, there’s a big build happening in the backyard and a lot of the houseguests think it’s the wall comp. What’s funny is Barrett thinks Kamu will win it. Over the seasons, more women win the comp than men. My money’s on Mallory. She’s athletic.
And more muscular bulky men usually don’t do well. It’s smaller men that do better. Historical winners have won the wall comp twice. If it is the wall, Angela’s coming off first. Then I can see someone going second, Devens third. Then Haley and Kamu.
I’d really like to see them bring back other classic comps in BB28 like the Slip n Slide. I also like the spinning disc comp where they hang and are spun around and pelted and crash into stuff. That one hasn’t been around in a few seasons either.
Big Brother 28: Dee’s Bribe Power and Strategic Withholding
Also, there’s Dee and her BB Bribe power. First of all, it’s a lame “power”. The only time they had it before, in a past season, someone bribed another person to do something they were already going to do — basically just gave a friend the cash.
But Dee’s not going to do that. Here’s why. She lied right to Devens face about the power and that’s her ride or die. What Dee got is not a strong power. Devens power’s great — the Diamond Power of Veto.
And the only really good powers left are the Mystery Competitor and Coin of Destiny. The Never-Not pass is meh. And Replay is very conditional and not a guaranteed power. Coin of Destiny’s the only major game changer in the mix and it’s still up for grabs.
But because Dee lied to Devens, I am pretty sure that she doesn’t ever plan to use that power as intended. Dee’s gameplay in past competition shows was a lot about strategically withholding information. And never making emotional decisions. Plus, she’s a comp beast.
So, this power she’s sitting on is doing her a lot more good unplayed than played. Dee’s sitting back and letting the speculation amp up and also the paranoia. Many people think Drew has it and is screwing with them. Some think that Mallory has it.
The power’s not worth much but withholding the fact that she won the power — that’s worth a lot more to Dee. So, no, I doubt she’ll use it or tell anyone she has it till BB28 is over. I could be wrong.
But having watched Dee play competition shows twice and seeing her play BB28 like this, that’s my prediction.
