Speaker 1 (0:08) Hello, everybody, and welcome back to Rob Has a Podcast for your Big Brother coverage, the number one destination for all Big Brother content. I'm a guy who knows the right move between my flirtmates and my papa. It's Pia Zambichili here holding it down today or tonight, rather. Some of the familiar faces that might be here on Sundays are not here currently, but we're holding it down. And I'm not here alone. I'm here to be elevated by two queens. So I'm going to put myself in the bottom box as it should be. Welcome in. First, we'll introduce her. It's the one and only Jenny Autumn. Jenny, how are you doing today? I Speaker 3 (0:43) was doing great until you put me where you were. And now I'm like discombobulated. I don't know how I feel about being top box. But, you know, I'm very happy to be here with you guys. You know, the episode after a double eviction is like. Almost as good as a double eviction. It's the next best thing in my opinion. So I'm very excited to talk about it with you guys. Speaker 1 (1:08) I'm happy you are here for that episode. Right before we went live here, this person said I could call her whatever I would like. So say hello to best friend. It's Maggie. Maggie, how are you doing? Speaker 2 (1:21) Hi, guys. I'm great. The Double Eviction episode of Big Brother officially became my favorite episode ever of Big Brother. Once Mike Bloom got a shout out on the live episode. So I'm really happy that I'm here to talk about kind of what went on there, the fallout. Yeah, this episode was like, you know. 40 % stacking competition. So there's that. But like I'm here with friends and we're going to have a good old time. Speaker 1 (1:53) we're going to make the most of anything we are given. And honestly, yes, we had about the same amount of stacking competition here that I did Friday for the Friday morning live feed update. So they shared the same ratio, but we do have to talk from the double eviction over because we did get a lot of the fallout here of that. So right off top, Jenny, let me ask you, were you happy with the results of the double eviction that night? Speaker 3 (2:22) I mean, I don't know how to define happiness. Was I entertained? Did I have a good time? Was I on the edge of my seat? Yes. But, you know, I had some rooting interests. So, you know, I think that you have to separate, you know, what you personally would enjoy and what you think is maybe best for the game or. So I don't know. I wouldn't say that the double eviction went exactly how I went into it, hoping it to go. Was a big fan of both Bear and Yash and to have the two of them go out back to back was obviously a little rough. However, I love good TV. I love the fact that, you know, we got. unlikely things happening with Melody coming out of nowhere and then suddenly being like, psych, yo, I can win some stuff. I'm going to do it here tonight and be responsible for sending some faves home. And also just like the failed attempt of getting an icon out and the fact that you start the, you know, the double, the second end of the double eviction with Dee and Devin's on the block and both of them survive at the end of the day. That's good TV. I think that's really fun. And, you know, We are now left with a final five that is very, very riveting. A lot of different scenarios to talk through. And I think that depending on the path and how you get there, any winner I think I could feel good about knowing that if they got there and won, that... they did something good uh and they got rewarded for it so i i feel like no one is drawing completely dead and i think that's a very very fun situation to be in at this point because i'm i often tune out by now i'm often just like okay let's just let's just get it over with and it's it's nice to be uh entertained still at this point and be excited to talk about it so all in all I I'm okay with it. I'm okay with it. I Speaker 1 (4:25) think that's a good point to bring up that usually this late into the season, unless your name ends with Armstrong, you might be tapped out a little bit, but last year, but I'm like, Speaker 3 (4:36) okay, it's Speaker 1 (4:37) a Speaker 3 (4:37) vlog. Yeah. Speaker 1 (4:38) Well, last year was an exception to the rule Maggie, because Vince and Morgan did everything they could to make it titillating all the way to the end. But do you also agree that anyone winning of this five remaining, you'd be happy with. Speaker 2 (4:52) Um, yeah, I mean, I think that it would mean that whatever happens in the next couple of rounds is really exciting, whichever way it fell. Um, I, I just love that things have been so wide open since like final seven, you know, and I want to get out ahead of this, like our. Our very own Rob Sestranino was on Big Brother Unlocked, did an incredible job. But the people on Unlocked were acting as though Melody made the worst decision ever by voting out Yash here. And I will not be tricked. I will not be bamboozled into thinking that this was wrong. Yeah, I don't think that there was. a wrong decision to be made between Dee and Yash. I think that like Melody was right when she says either one of them going is good. But like Yash would have won. Like Yash would have run away with this, especially looking at this challenge that we had tonight. Like I think Yash would have been very good at this stacking competition. You know, once we get to the spoiler section, we can talk about the veto competition that happened this week. I just don't see a world where it's still not Melody and Drew being targeted as the final duo in the house because like either Yash would have won this HOH or Devin's would have won this HOH. So I, but I will give Dee her flowers for this. Yes. Oh my God. I think that, and I'm standing on this business, like Dee is. one of the most impressive players that we have seen on these types of reality shows ever. Like she is in my top 10 most impressive, cutthroat, hardcore gamers. She is relentless. She does not give up. And I think the thing about Dee that like was really apparent throughout this episode and has been really apparent throughout the season. is Dee speaks with such authority that you can't help but not only believe what she says, but also like be like, okay, I guess that's what we're doing. Like Dee speaks with such confidence and with such authority. Like she knows what's going on that people are happy to go along with her. And I think that that is something so underrated. Like, and she's able to balance that, right? With being like, He's not that smart. Like Dee just doesn't really know what she's doing. Like Melody is still saying, or was a couple of weeks ago that like Dee isn't that smart. But I think that there's something about being able to be authoritative without being like a dictator. And that's really where Dee falls, where she, like I saw Stina Stinks on Blue Sky Today said like. This is Dee's house. Dee runs this house. People think it's Daddy Devin's house, but it's not. It's Dee's. Because, yes, Dee is the one pulling the strings, controlling Daddy Devin's. I think Speaker 1 (7:57) there's something to be said about somebody coming into this game being the only person to have nabbed a million dollars off of CBS. In this game, now at the final five, and you're still there in the eviction seat at the final six, and you're like, I don't even think they're the top prospect to go here. What do you mean? And I think what I do love about what you said is because I do agree with you. Her acumen has been on display both on Survivor Now and Big Brother. I think what helps is that these big gestures she does, like the standing over Barrett and the popping off when Devin uses the Dime Power Vito. I think these do offset her threat level because she isn't threatening when she's doing it. I've seen people be like, she's Speaker 2 (8:40) bullying Speaker 1 (8:40) that man. And I'm like, It doesn't look like that at all. It's almost disarming. And then the fact of the matter is, if those people that she's did this to are smiling and hugging her on the way out are now OK with her, that's the social game, baby. That's what she's doing out here. Speaker 2 (8:55) Also, like, yes, she does do those huge big swing things. But then she does things like during this double eviction, just marching right up to Drew and being like, I will keep you safe. I am the person who will keep you safe over these people. What are you talking about? Going to Melody, saying like, this boys club, absolutely not. She is relentless, relentless. And we've seen so many people on this season alone kind of lay over and die when they're in a do or die situation. And Dee, like she said in her... confessional tonight when she was talking about the HOH competition. But I think that this is D to a T being like, I have never thought something is impossible. I have always thought I can do it. And like, yeah, you need that. You see it like you, you need, I was like, how do I get that? It's not even to me. I don't think it's hubris coming from D it's the truth. A lot of the time. Yeah. an expert manifester. She speaks it into existence. And like, she knows her powers, that girl, she just is that girl. And like, I, you can not like her. That's totally fine. But I'm like, God bless D being on our television screens. I can't wait to watch her for years to come. I can't wait. Like I. I'm so grateful that we've gotten this much access to watch her in action on Big Brother. Like she's a fantastic Big Brother player. She's obviously a fantastic survivor winner. And I just like am so here for her. The fact that she Speaker 3 (10:25) has not, Speaker 2 (10:26) she Speaker 3 (10:26) is Speaker 2 (10:27) about Speaker 3 (10:27) to turn 30. I believe she turns 30 either like the day, maybe shortly after the Big Brother. finale, like the fact that there is a real possibility that this woman could have bagged two of the big like CBS titles, you know, by the age of 30 is so impressive, especially given what we know about, you know, how people can really come into their own in terms of like confidence and knowing their power and like, you know, really going for their goals in their 30s. Like if she is this self-assured and. skilled and confident and also just very very well um like positioned socially she's so good so naturally good at uh connecting and relating and getting people to like her even if she's going for the jugular like if she's getting that done at this stage of her life like hold on for what she is capable of as she gets older. Even just using Rick Devins as a comparative example. I think that we all can agree that he is way more impressive here. You know, years removed from his first time on TV and how he's playing this game. A more mature, a more measured kind of still the same guy, but like just a little bit more. in control and confident and measured. Like imagine Dee being able to make that same sort of like growth. Is it possible? She's already so like formed. It's just so impressive to me to see someone who's like 10 years younger than me and is like absolutely killing it. And she still has so many of the best years of her life ahead of her. Crazy, crazy. And I'm so sorry. Speaker 2 (12:19) Like. I love that she's like a badass woman. I like how lucky are we that we get to see somebody so freaking dominant who is a woman on these shows. And like, I, I just, I, I'm never going to not be thrilled about that. Like I, sorry, maybe that's my bias coming in, but like, she's that girl. She is that girl. Speaker 1 (12:46) Yeah, I think that obviously this is going to be a very interesting season to discuss when all is said and done, especially if one of Dior Devon's wins out or wins the season. Because I do think obviously when it comes to Big Brother, a couple of things are for sure. The winner is never going to be universally agreed on except for like maybe one or two occasions. But the second, people love to put those asterisks next to the winner's name for whatever reason. I think that this will be interesting because I do think for a lot of people, they get docked a lot of points for having those early game powers that were audience voted to the known entities in the house getting the first three, right? So I think that's going to be something that we see that will be a bit of a conversation during the aftermath of all this. But for me, if I knew nothing about Dee from Survivor and I knew nothing about Dee, if I'm not watching the show outside of the episodes, One thing that would make me gravitate towards Dee is the fact that she is probably the only player in many a moon, especially this season, the only player who is actively using that. It's now your time to advocate for yourself before we go into the votes. She uses that time actively to campaign. And I think that that is something I absolutely admire. I feel like in. this era it's been a long time now where we legitimately have most people using that time to just shout out family and then tell everybody the same two things that everyone says. It's been a great insert duration of game so far here. I've loved getting to know all of you do what is best for your game. Julie, you look amazing. Sit down. I don't like that. I want you to say something. Yeah. No more hug time. Make me feel something. And I do appreciate from Dee that she's always done that. Speaker 2 (14:38) And also, I hear what everybody says about the powers. Like, I do hear it. But if we're talking Dee specifically, not Devin's, we're just talking about Dee. Dee got somebody to use a diamond power of veto on her. This was not her power. She got it to be used on her. And then she got a power that sucked and meant nothing to absolutely keep her safe last week and get out her biggest competition this week in Yash because he pissed off the person who won HOH. And like, I'm sorry at the end of the day to me, her being able to get Yash and Taylor to keep her in the game over Angela. Like, yeah, she had a lot of advantages coming into the game. being known, getting these powers, but like that's a player. That's somebody who, when your back is against the wall, when you have all of like all of this stuff coming at you, you know, we always say we like to see adversity. Dee has proven to me like time and time again in this season that she fights through the adversity and she can come out on top. Devins has never faced an eviction vote. Dee has faced two. At this point, Devins would have left so many times if he didn't win competitions. And that's not a knock on his game. It's just the truth of like what I value in Big Brother is the ability to win over hearts and minds. And like that is what Dee has done. I think Devin's would be an incredible winner of this season. I would not be mad at it at all. I've said that from the beginning. I feel like Devin's is like the person who you feel like is a Big Brother winner kind of. But I mean, Dee like. If there, if D wins and there is an asterisk next to her name, you can find me on blue sky fighting that asterisk tooth and nail until the day I die. Okay. Speaker 1 (16:28) There we go. Speaker 1 (16:32) Contrary to what you may, two things actually. One, we don't know how long this podcast is going to go slash how much we have to say about the episode. So if you have any questions and you're watching live, put them in the YouTube comments. We'll have a couple of them picked out to answer potentially later down the line here. The other thing I want to say is there are a couple of the house guests in the house. You may not know it based on what the three of us have been saying for the last little bit. I just Speaker 2 (16:57) wanted to give her a flower. She survived the double eviction, you know? Yeah. Speaker 1 (17:01) Which, yeah, I mean, again, as an icon, being on the chair is not easy. It's interesting, though, because I do think that was a big debate coming out of this weekend, which was, did Drew make the right call voting out Yash? And I think that, obviously, the alternative there was... voting out D. And as far as my feelings on Drew, you know, cow-tongue to papa has been very well documented now. But I think that it's a tough spot to be in because you got to look at it on an individual level. And if you're trying to individually win some of these competitions, you got to get rid of the second front runner after Devin's who won the veto, right? Like you just have to do that. You got to get rid of one of them tonight. even I say this knowing D's potential, knowing the fact that we've talked about D for 20 minutes now, knowing that D has won a million dollars, I still think probably get rid of Yash at that point. Speaker 3 (18:03) Well, that's the thing is like, you know, if you're going to get down to five and you're looking at two, you see yourself as someone who has the potential to win competitions, but you see two very clear roadblocks in in Devins and Yash that, you know. If one of those roadblocks is someone that you think might actually be still rocking with you to a certain point and might be one of your paths to getting to the final two, that's one thing. But if the other one, you're looking at that person and they're like, not only are they winning competitions and they're really good at stuff, we've had this weird feud for a while. And even though we're kind of acting like, you know, there's this agreement here, this person is not interested in going to the final two with me. They
