Speaker 4 (0:08) Hello, everyone, and welcome to Rob Has a Podcast. I'm your host, Aaron Armstrong, and I'm here tonight to recap tonight's Big Brother 28 special Wednesday eviction pharaoh curse episode. And it's a late night. You know, we're after Survivor. Survivor had its two-hour premiere. The know-it-all's just wrapped up, and we are here to talk about silly... Big brother. And it was quite a silly one tonight with me to talk through it. It's Kirsten. How you doing, Kirsten? Speaker 1 (0:44) I'm doing great, Taryn. I'm so excited to be here. You actually unleashed the Pharaoh's curse and brought the mess magnets right to your doorstep. Speaker 4 (0:53) Oh, no. What have I done? Speaker 1 (0:57) We're Speaker 2 (0:57) back, baby. Speaker 4 (1:02) Yes, Sasha also here tonight. Me and Speaker 2 (1:07) my ascension light are here. Can't believe Speaker 1 (1:12) it. So excited. Karen and I are about to be left behind. If Speaker 4 (1:17) you're watching the video version of this podcast, Asia's camera, Sasha's camera. It's late. It's Speaker 1 (1:27) late. Speaker 4 (1:29) I am Speaker 2 (1:31) Asian. Please. Speaker 1 (1:38) I'm not watching the video. Speaker 4 (1:43) Sasha's webcam is got some kind of light theme thing going on. She looks like she's about to be abducted by aliens. Speaker 2 (1:59) See, y'all said like Egyptian mummy. And I said, no, Passover already happened. I have been passed over and the UFOs are here. Oh, my God. Speaker 4 (2:11) Oh, boy. Well, what an episode we have to talk about tonight. We had an Egyptian themed episode complete with Egyptian themed music. an Egyptian themed veto competition and what might be the silliest and goofiest eviction I've perhaps ever seen. Like Speaker 1 (2:44) someone in production thought, hey, you know what kind of sounds like eviction? Egyptian. And someone was like, we're running with it. Let's go. Really? That's crazy that you think they gave it that Speaker 2 (2:57) much thought. In my mind, they said, oh, we need to get rid of these like sarcophagus. How do we do that? Speaker 4 (3:07) Let's Speaker 2 (3:07) give it to BB. They'll figure it out. Speaker 4 (3:09) We've got these sarcophagi that are hanging around that we've drawn on with Sharpie. Speaker 2 (3:19) What am I going to do with them? It was like in the back, back, back of some CBS show. And then they said, no, we're going to make it the main character. Give it to that parking lot show. But Speaker 1 (3:34) can I say what the dumbest thing of all of it was? Speaker 4 (3:37) Please. Speaker 1 (3:37) When they go, everybody. Put on your Osiris irises for safety goggles. They didn't even do anything to try to zhuzh up the safety goggles. No, because if you're Speaker 2 (3:52) going to steal, right, Luna Lovegood's glasses are right there, right? Like, let's do something. Kaleidoscope them bitches like something. Damn. They said, no, here's your blue light glasses and they will count as your safety ones. Speaker 4 (4:08) It's like this with this dramatic eviction, right? Where the showmans of the season is going to get split up by Daddy Devin's. And he stands up there with his goofy ass glasses. Sorry. Speaker 1 (4:35) And like the sarcophagi were made out of, I think, construction paper because they crumpled with like you couldn't. No, did you see? Hell no. Did you Speaker 2 (4:44) see the dust? Who had to clean it up? Taylor? Speaker 4 (4:49) That hammer looked heavy. Speaker 2 (4:50) I thought it looked like paper mache. Really? They were doing a Thor crossover. Because why was it like upside down like that? Like, oh, Loki did a, you know, time jump. Speaker 1 (5:05) A TVA is here, baby. D holding it sideways. I was like, I know that girls never had to do like home repairs. And I love that for her. Speaker 2 (5:16) No, like it's too much. It's too much. All Speaker 4 (5:20) right. Well, I'm sure there's more to say on that. But we actually started this episode concluding the cliffhanger that I forgot existed from the previous episode, which was quite anticlimactic, in my opinion. I just like really just like, wait, what was? Oh, right. He was maybe going to nominate Drew, I guess. Oh, he did nominate Drew. Speaker 1 (5:49) We've lived 10 years since all of this actually happened in real time, and they expect us to care about the nominations on Wednesday, September 23rd. No, I don't get like, what are we doing? Yeah, Speaker 2 (6:05) the fact that again, they have no spoilers is just they have speed run a whole week. And then they said, great, we're going to speed run it for you freaks that watch the feed, all of us. feeds, but we're going to pause it and actually move it in 0.5 speed for you casuals. Like why? What's the reason? Speaker 4 (6:26) Honestly, I think it's just that they didn't have enough time in the previous episodes. They just had to push it to this one. Speaker 1 (6:32) And this is the only Wednesday episode that's not 90 minutes. And we got... conclusion of nominations, an individually timed veto competition, the veto ceremony and the eviction in an hour. So why are we ever getting 90 minutes? Truly? Speaker 4 (6:54) Don't forget, we also got a gray hair segment. Speaker 1 (6:57) OK, I OK, it is very fitting to me that someone would get their first gray hair in the Big Brother house. I think it probably happens to a lot of people. Speaker 2 (7:07) Yeah. Listen, to me, that was just a representation, like finding your first gray hair. It's just like you just know your life is done. You know what I mean? I can't relate. Actually, I haven't had one yet. Period. Speaker 1 (7:20) Because I have. And on this black hair, it shows up. It's the way I'm so paranoid that they're going to show up, but I won't be able to tell because my hair is lighter. And whenever I get my haircut, I'm like, are there any grays? Are there any bald spots? And they're like, shut up, you freak. You're normal. It's fine. There's no gray hairs yet. Oh, my God. It did Speaker 4 (7:40) make me think because I've never like. I've never looked. So I'm like, I wouldn't, I don't think I'd know. You know what I mean? Speaker 1 (7:46) Terrence next stream finding his gray hair. Speaker 2 (7:49) I Speaker 1 (7:50) think though, like it's very normal for grays to start. I think especially on men at like the temples and like in the front. So I think you probably would notice because it would happen on like the shorter hairs on the side of your head that you might see more like out and about. I don't know. You'll have to do a full investigation. Yeah. Speaker 2 (8:09) Join Speaker 1 (8:10) Terrence Patriot. Speaker 1 (8:13) That sounds crazy. Like I'm so. Listen, if Taryn can get 50 new patrons, maybe he'll do a gray hair investigation. I feel like Speaker 4 (8:23) I would enjoy. I feel like I would rock gray hair. Speaker 2 (8:28) Yeah, I think like it. Yeah. Yes. 100 million percent. I think you you would like look forward to it. I feel you Speaker 1 (8:36) look distinguished. I think Speaker 2 (8:40) you'd be like this gray hair Vince gave me. This was Keanu. This was D. This was Drew. Like you got to start naming that. Karen's actually been Speaker 1 (8:50) just fermenting his whole head ever since Vince was in the Big Brother house. Just white. It's crazy. Speaker 2 (8:56) He has the Speaker 1 (8:57) same hair as Dr. Will actually under all that. Speaker 1 (9:01) Oh, my God. Speaker 4 (9:03) Oh, well, Drew might be getting his own gray hairs. He goes up on the block here, and we pretty quickly get to the veto. I mean, we do have what I thought was actually the best part of the episode, which was this fun little segment of, like, you know, they didn't trust me with Melody. And they shouldn't have. Like, I would have vetoed Melody, but still. And then like talking to Devin's being like, I want to take Drew and then talking to D being like, he shouldn't trust me after saying you should trust me. I thought that whole sequence was very fun. Speaker 2 (9:41) And is what I think was funniest for me is like, this is the first time they actually shouldn't trust Drew because every other time they've been dogging him out back. And he's just literally like a golden retriever. Been like, but no, I'll do anything. I'll lay my whole game out, which later we find out all the nonsense he's done. But the first time this man is actually standing on business and they're like, yep, we knew it all along. No, you didn't. Stop. I Speaker 1 (10:10) think when I was on with Mari and Asia, Mari made a comment of like Drew's like a dog that's been beaten that just keeps coming back. And then now this is when he would have been the dog that like bites like that finally comes back and gets you. You know, there's people Speaker 2 (10:26) that are like pitbulls Speaker 1 (10:27) are Speaker 2 (10:27) really not my pitbull that, you know, has been. Actually, I know this pitbull. That's what I'm talking about it. Oh, my God. Oh, it's been through so much is the sweetest thing ever. And then finally had its last accident. And now do not go close to that pitbull. Oh, my God. No, this is like legit. My like really good friends pitbull. That's why. But that's what this reminds me of. Poor pump. She's a tripod. It's sad. She's a tripod. But we call it that and we love pump. I'm serious. Oh. Speaker 4 (10:58) Wow. Well, we do get to the veto competition. Yeah. And this, you know, this, what are we doing? Speaker 1 (11:12) This was worse. Speaker 4 (11:14) Barrett sized mummy that they need to drag through. Speaker 1 (11:23) We talked about it on Sunday and we were all like, wow, this is horrible. And then when I actually saw it, I was like, this is worse. Like even the difference between Drew and Devin's carrying it was great. Drew's basically just like, perfect. I could carry it out over my head pretty much. To see the smaller woman doing it, I'm actually shocked that Dee even was able to be second place. I know, Speaker 4 (11:50) he did better than I had realized. So kudos to her. But yeah, I mean, like Drew's height gives him a massive advantage because he has more space to carry the tall thing. Like for say Melody, who's like a foot and a half shorter, like, you know, she has to carry it by like a lot lower on the mummy itself in order to keep it off the ground in the same way. And he's also then got like a foot and a half of extra wingspan to like span the mummy, which is incredibly useful for maneuvering. And so like, obviously it's not a very fair competition. Some people don't care about fair. What should matter in terms of fairness is that like competitions are more interesting when anybody can win them. But the biggest sin for this competition. from my end is that whether or not it was close, it was dreadfully just boring to watch. Like there was no tension at all. And this is how I felt at
