Tbursday, October 1, 2026 — Finale Night: The Did It Their Way

Previously on the BB Live Feeds

---

12:00 AM BBT: As Taylor paints her nails, she complains about the dirty floor. She's the only one who ever mopped it in BB28 history. She Jedi-trains season details, interjecting extraneous thoughts and critical observations.

12:15 AM BBT: Taylor finishes painting her nails, reviewing how many rounds each competition took to determine a winner, including the pickleball and Wrestlegasm comps. She also clocks how long Lala was able to stay on The Wall. Taylor figures most people round their answers to 30s increments. She'll go with 35s to stand out (You rebel. Just make sure you conclude your thought before Julie Chen Moonves cuts you off. -- Fuskie).

Taylor guesses the Egyptian-themed Tiny HoH comp, which she calls "the tile thingy," ran about 4hrs 15m, deciding to commit to that number (That corresponds with approximately how long feeds were off after a short window was live streamed. -- Fuskie).

She thinks the Pressure Cooker ran roughly 12 hours, settling on 12 hours and 5 minutes, reasoning it couldn't have gone 13 hours. She trusts her gut on the number. Part I of the Final HoH ran 1hr 15m, though it could have been closer to 90m.

12:30 AM BBT: Now that everyone is asleep, she Taylor decides, it is to work on her Jury speech. This is exactly the routine she practiced before pageants growing up. She is called to the DR and walks carefully, her freshly painted nails and toes still drying, through the House, presses the DR button, and heads in.

1:00 AM BBT: Devens is asleep in the HNR, while Drew snoozes in the Outer BR. Lights out in both rooms.

1:45 AM BBT: Taylor comes out of the DR, heads to the KT, then the BY, checks on her laundry, stops in the WA, then crawls into her Pod BR pod. Lights go out across the House.

---

8:30 AM BBT: Good morning, HouseGuests. It's time to get up to say goodbye.

Devens in in the HN bed, Taylor in her Pod BR bed. She quietly mumbles her goodbyes.

8:45 AM BBT: Devens heads into the Outer BR, where Drew's already up. He continues to the WC. Drew heads to the SR for a battery swap (And maybe a banana. -- Fuskie).

Drew gets some water int he KI, greets Devens in the main WA, then steps into the WC. Devens heads out to the BY to say his goodbyes to the live feed viewers. Drew cmes out of the WC, washes his hands, and throws water onto his face.

Yo, he says. Live Feed people. What's up? I am told feeds will go off soon, he informs the BY camera. Big day and night in the BB House. We only have, like, 11 more hours. I hope you had as much fun this summer as we did. This has been a blast. You all are awesome: you saw the highs and lows, thanks for watching. Thanks for being dedicated enough to this whole thing (he gestures around him) that I got to come play because, my goodness, what a wild experience.

I hope to see you soon in the real world. Devens throws a kiss, and says thank you.

Drew fills his water bottle and heads to the BY. As Devens comes back inside, Drew comments that he looks look tight, stretching.

Last morning walk, Drew tells the BY camera. Not everyone gets to live their dream, Drew says, addressing live feeders. Not everyone gets to be Top 3 in Big Brother. I got to do both, all within one summer. For those of you that watched, he says, thank you. For those of you who loved me, thank you. For those of you who hated me, thank you.

My whole life, all I ever wanted to do is play this game. That day has come, and I can honestly say, I have had the full experience. I won an HoH, a couple of Vetoes. I won a Blockbuster. I was in a majority alliance that won. I fought my way here. You guys voted me to go to the BB Time Capsule. I felt the love. I felt the hate. But I've lived my dream.

It's been so fun, Drew continues, I've said it so many times, but this has been my dream, and I'm still here. I've lived in this House for 87 days, and it kind of breaks my heart to say I won't be here tonight.

Drew pauses, fighting back the tears welling up in his eyes.

It's just been so fun, he chokes out, searching for the words. You guys have seen me laugh and you've definitely seen me cry, probably way too much. But I don't think anyone knows how much this means to me, except for you guys who watch the live feeds. You guys are just as big a fans as I am.

Sniffling, Drew says I don't know what is going to happen tonight. I don't know if I'm going to win. Don't know if I'm gonna get third. I don't know if I'm gonna be sitting in those chairs anyways. I'm just getting second. But at least I get to say I got to play, he concludes, wiping a tear from his eye. And that's all you could ask for.

Mom, Drew says, I love you so much. I know I gave you a heart attack this summer. Especially the way I played. I hope you are proud. If I can bring home the money and the win, just know it was all for you.

Anyways, Live Feeds, thanks for putting up with all my shenanigans this summer, for being super annoying, and being your little brother this summer, even though you're watching Big Brother. You'll probably never see me again on this show, but if they ever ask, I'll say yes. And you guys will have another headache, another headache full of summer, a summer full of headaches, he finally gets out, laughing. That's what I'm trying to say.

But yes, Drew says, Thank you guys. What a dream this has been and I don't want it to be over. But, oh boy. Drew crosses his chest, kisses his fingers, and resumes his laps, letting out a heavy breath.

Meanwhile, in the KT, Devens continues his talk to the live feeders. Last time making coffee in the BB House, he says, filling up the water container. It might be a day for everyone, he says, maybe not. Normally he doesn't have an afternoon coffee, but tonight's a big night. Pretty exciting. I'm the only one left drinking coffee.

I have so many questions about the outside world, Devens ponders. But listen, Cesternino, Live Feed devotees, I appreciate you. I'm ready to answer all your questions about all the stupid things I've done. Why did you do that? That doesn't make any sense? I don't know. Do I have to explain to you I'm stupid?

Devens sighs. In a few days, I'll be back in my own house, I'll be making coffee for myself AND Becca. And It'll provide more meaning. I know it sounds silly, but that's the sort of thing I've been thinking about. Earlier, when I was making coffee for myself, Barrett, Mallory, and Dee, I felt I was providing a service. But now, it's just for me. I'm not doing anything else for anybody. I'm useless.

This is wild, Devens contemplates, as he waits for the coffee to brew. I don't know what you all are going to do with your extra time, now that you're not watching feeds, but I hope you fill it with something great, and it brings you a lot of joy, and that you go from having a fun summer to having an outstanding fall, a terrific winter, and a magical spring.

Devens lifts his coffee towards the camera. All love, he toasts.

It's been weird, he muses, sleeping at night, knowing you people are watching. Waking up, knowing people are watching. Doing things in the KT, knowing people are watching. He takes an ice cube tray out of the freezer. Are they judging me because I'm not filling the ice tray yet? Are they judging me because I'm judging the other HG for not refilling the filtered water Are they judging me because because I'm not refilling the filtered water? Because I'm annoying the other HG?

Drew finishes his morning laps and comes from the BY, heading silently to the WA. This guy, Devens says, he didn't refill then filtered water. See what I'm talking about?

It's October 1st, Drew announces to himself, passing by the Hot Tub Lounge. He takes off his mic pack before stepping into the WC.

Back in the KT, Devens demonstrates how to refill the filtered water. Did you judge me for that, he asks feeders, are you judging me right now? Are you judging him (he points in the direction of the WA)? I don't know. It's weird, he concludes. People watch you all the time (I always feel like somebody's watching me. And I have no privacy. -- Fuskie)..

Devens puts the refilled filtered water pitcher back into the fridge. I've been institutionalized, he quips, followed by a whisper: but we're almost free!

Free from one of the greatest experiences we'll ever have, he clarifies. It makes you appreciate normalcy. We've made it to another month. October 1st. July. Wow. August, September, and now October. Four different months. Pretty crazy. I can't wait to hug my kids. My dogs, I miss the smell of dog. Cats. Melvin will be all over him, but Zelda won't remember him, and Sia will give him the cold shoulder: how dare he leave and think you can just come back. I can't wait to see all of them.

I'll have something more entertaining to watch than coffee brewing, he says, watching coffee brewing. He sighs. Enough about me. Let's talk about you. What's next? Do you have big plans? Have you set some goals? Has watching the Live Feeds made us more likeable and human? Or has it made us more disliked and human? You get to see a lot.

Have you been surprised that Drew and I played so much pool and we're still awful at it? I got pretty good at Cornhole for a while. But then we voted off all the other Cornhole players.

You can hear Drew flushing in the WC.

9:00 AM BBT: Devens, in the KT, talks about what's waiting for him back home, everything he's missed these past months. You've watched a lot of live feeds, he says, you've seen a lot of me on a big inflatable flamingo. We named it Babi Yama.

HouseGuests, BB announces, remember to enjoy yourself today. These are the good old days.

Drew is in the WA, washing his face. He looks tired.

That's one of my favorite announcements, Devens says. It's different this morning, almost sentimental. He won't miss most of BB's announcements, the Wakey Wakey. Anyway, love you guys. Hope you have bright things coming your way. Thanks for watching.

Wednesday, September 30, 2026 — The Final Countdown

Previously on the BB Live Feeds

12:00 AM BBT: Taylor says that if anyone asks why she spent so much time in her pod, her answer is ready: she wasn't hiding; she was playing, prepping, praying, and processing her next moves (Yeah, not sure that dog will hunt. -- Fuskie).

She considered herself an underdog, both socially and strategically, all season. She never floated. She followed and she controlled her narrative the whole time. Her pod was protection, not avoidance.

1:10 AM BBT: Taylor has been working on her extensions for an hour now, quietly Jedi-training and explaining her game.

2:45 AM BBT: Taylor grabs a snack in the SR then heads to her "protection," I mean her pod. She slides the Pod BR door shut. She finish her snack, and tells the camera she has 2 more days, and I won't have that in my face anymore.

3:00 AM BBT: Lights go out in the Pod BR and across the House.

---

8:45 AM BBT: Drew is restless in his Outer BR bed. Devens is in the Have Not room, and Taylor is seeking protection in her Pod BR pod. Devens hits the WC then returns to bed.

9:30 AM BBT: Drew gets out of his Outer BR bed, hits the WC, then returns to the Outer BR.

9:45 AM BBT: Drew puts on a shirt, takes a drink of water, applies some ChapStick to his lips, then slides back into his bed.

10:00 AM BBT: Big Brother wakes the HG. Drew sits up in the Outer BR, and Taylor stirs in the Pod BR.

11:45 AM BBT: Taylor may actually be getting up. Devens and Drew are in the Outer PR, pretending to be on a talk show. Devens is the host interviewing his guest, Drew. The show is called Two Boys In Two Chairs.

12:00 PM BBT: As part of their talk show, Devens quizzes Drew on what he thinks about the evicted HG. Then they move on to former BB winners Ian (BB14/BB22) and Morgan (BB27) among others. They wrap up by thanking the audience. when Taylor appears at the Pod BR door. They tell her good morning.

12:15 PM BBT: Devens asks when Taylor went to sleep last night. She doesn't know. Devens thinks it was around 2:30 AM (About 3:00 AM. -- Fuskie). Drew tells Devens he went to bed early. He jokes he looks old and has carried the season on his back (Or maybe he was just seeing Devens in the mirror. -- Fuskie).

Devens wants coffee, so the three head to the KT together. Taylor misses her mom and they discuss whether their families are already flying to be at the Finale (Drew's family lives about 90m from the BB House. -- Fuskie).

Drew asks Devens if he needs his help Jedi-training. Devens replies that he trusts Drew about as far as he could throw him. Drew says the speech is their final plea to the Jury before voting begins. Taylor says he is right. Devens doesn't trust Taylor to tell him the truth either.

12:30 PM BBT: Taylor mixes her perm solution. Devens wants to collab with Jersey Mikes Subs. He thinks his kids will like Kamu and look forward to introducing them after the show. Barrett too. Drew wants to read what Mike Bloom (Reality TV media critic and podcast host) had to say about the season.

Taylor says it took 12 hours to take out her braids. She thinks this is a Big Brother first. Drew and Devens laugh, and she feigns offense. She's about to apply the perm now. She plans to walk out of the House with straight hair. Once she's out of the House, she's cutting it back into a bob. She'

This is authentic me, she tells live feeders. Vote for Taylor for BB28!

FotH.

1:00 PM BBT: The HG are in the BY, talking about seeing their families again. Taylor looks up at a plane overhead and says they're here. She calls out to her mom, Angie.

Taylor asks if Devens' kids are visiting LA for the first time. They came out for the Survivor 50 finale. They got out of school for the trip. Drew predicts the other kids at school are teasing them about their dad falling in the western Wet & Wild comp, or because he cried on TV. Taylor says Devens' kids should fire back by asking what the other kids' dads have done. Devens sees a Delta flight overhead and wonders if that's Becca, Jack, and JuJu.

Taylor explains the perm process step by step, applying Vaseline around the skin near her edges and ears, then putting on gloves.

While Taylor works on her perm, Drew is folding laundry and Devens muses about the game. He would have been more willing to work with Barrett, but he felt Barrett was acting arrogant towards him. Barrett cried when Mallory went home but Barrett never seemed to feel the same way about him (Sorry, Devens, you're not Barrett's type. -- Fuskie).

Drew heads inside for chips. The prep work finished, Taylor talks Devens through applying the perm, sectioning her hair and applying the solution to her roots while avoiding the scalp.

1:30 PM BBT: Taylor asks who took a bite out of Devens' hot dog. Devens says he'll find out from Jack and JuJu.

As he prepares hot dogs for himself and Drew, Devens tells them about a fishing trip he went on with Jonathan (S35/S42/S50), Ozzy (S13/S16/S23/S34/S50), and Emily (S45S50) and a boat ride and fishing. He says Joe built the best shelter on Survivor 50.

Devens credits being an Eagle Scout for giving him the discipline of keeping a fire going. You never want to let it die out, because each time you start it again, you show how good you are at making one. Drew asks if Devens considers himself an old-school Survivor player. Devens says yes, because his first season was the full 39 days.

1:45 PM BBT: Devens says it was different on Survivor 50, with kids like Rizzo sitting around camp, doing nothing to contribute, and mocking those who did the work. Colby had asked Rizzo to gather some wood for the fire, and at first Rizzo refused. Then he found some sticks nearby, and they turned out to be the fishing poles. Colby (Also old-school. -- Fuskie).

Devens wishes he could talk to Colby. He doesn't have his phone number and his social media has been shut down.

Devens figures he appeals to a segment of Survivor fans who aren't in peak physical shape, the overweight kids, the dad bods of the audience. He isn't the smartest or the most charming, but his fan base needed someone to show them they could do it too.

Taylor rinses her hair in the KT sink (What was wrong with the WA sink? -- Fuskie).

Devens can't wait to watch BB28 now that he's experienced BB28 (I expect he'll see the show in a whole different light now that he knows what goes on behind the scenes. -- Fuskie).

2:00 PM BBT: No matter how Thursday goes, Devens says, he's already better off than he was before coming on the show. He and Drew discuss how hard it is to keep their speeches to 60 seconds. They don't actually use a stopwatch on them, Devens says. Drew was going to use his internal clock, but they could use the Microwave timer to practice. Devens thanks him for the idea.

2:15 PM PT: Taylor's hair feels dry, so she applies more conditioner and rinses again.

2:30 PM BBT: Taylor continues working on her hair.

3:00 PM BBT: FotH.

7:00 PM BBT: Feeds have been down for about 4 hours. It has been the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, so the presumption is it has been game-related.

7:30 PM BBT: Taylor's perm is done and her hair is long and straight. She is packing in the Pod BR. Devens is in the BY hammock (He loves hammocks. -- Fuskie). Drew is walking laps with his shirt on (It must be cool outside. -- Fuskie).

It's been a long summer, Devens says. Drew replies they got the long version of summer. He believes in Devens, encouraging him to win Part III. Devens deflects that the comp will be a crapshoot, like flipping a coin. Drew offers him some of his chicken (The HG have ordered takeout from a restaurant Drew recommended. -- Fuskie).

Drew wonders if the feeds are on. Probably not (We're always watching. Always watching. -- Fuskie).

Drew tells Devens he's in a strange headspace. Having dreamed of playing Big Brother all his life, he's sitting in the Final 3 with a real shot at delivering a Final 2 speech. He doesn't want this summer to end. He'd go another 87 days given the chance. He really wants to win this.

7:45 PM BBT: Drew tells live feeders he doesn't want this fever dream to end. It has been nothing but fun, despite the tears along the way. He thanks everyone watching, whether they rooting for him or against him. They have been part of his dream.

Drew continues his yard laps, running through his speech. He recaps his wins. Whenever an ally went home, he never got angry; he simply pivoted. He claims responsibility for sending out three of the biggest comp threats in the House: Lala, Yash, and Dee. His strategy was to play the middle until he forced to pick a side. He won 5 comps, saved himself 5 separate times, and never once had to deliver an eviction-night speech.

8:15 PM BBT: With Yash gone, Taylor gives Drew a much-needed haircut. Taylor worked part-time in a hair salon before college, she tells him. She started out washing hair, then moved up to giving perms.

8:30 PM BBT: Drew says Taylor crushed his haircut. He should have been coming to her this whole time, but only found her salon on day 87.

Taylor puts her hair up. Drew smells dinner in the SR. He asks if Taylor is going to make her pudding. To Drew's disappointment, she says no.

8:45 PM BBT: Taylor studies in the bathroom. Drew goes outside and revies his final speech out on the Hammock.

Devens comes out of the DR announces dinner has arrived. Taylor, Devens and Drew excitedly look through the containers in the SR. Dinner came from Dave's Hot Chicken and Surfsides.

They carry the food out to the BY. Drew hopes he didn't build up Dave's Hot Chicken too much beforehand. Taylor and Devens say it's great as they hungrily chow down.

9:00 PM BBT: If Taylor's sister came, she probably dragged their parents to In-N-Out Burger.

10:15 PM BBT: Devens sits alone on the BY balcony, confesses that his only real alliance was his family: Becca, Jack, and JuJu. The whole game has been about doing everything he can to bring as much money home to improve the lives of his family. He still has to figure out, between now and tomorrow, exactly how to make that happen. Everything else about the game is secondary.

9:30 PM BBT: Drew, Devens, and Taylor enjoy their take-out meal, complements of Big Brother.

10:30 PM BBT: Devens struggles to articulate his thoughts. It's his last night in the House and it's as hard now as it's ever been. He loves Drew. Drew is his dude. But Taylor wants to make a deal where the two of them agree to take each other to the Final 2. It's an obvious deal to consider. He lays out the math: if goes up against Drew, he loses, since Taylor would vote for Drew and get Lala to do the same. If goes up against Taylor, he thinks he can win. He is counting on still getting Drew's vote. The situation sucks.

(Taylor clearly got into his head, but I think what is really going on here is Taylor is realizing she doesn't have a solid argument to make against either Drew or Devens, and is playing for 2nd place. But Taylor may not be wrong in the math: while Angela and Dee will surely vote for Devens, Barrett and Melody would probably vote for Drew. That leaves Taylor, LaLa, and Yash. What I am less sure of is Taylor's ability to influence either LaLa or Yash. They might lean towards Drew, and they might lean towards Devens. It is probably safe to say that a Drew/Devens matchup would be closer than Taylor vs. either Drew or Devens. -- Fuskie).

Devens brings up one of his favorite songs, Sinatra's My Way. He played Big Brother his way, from start to finish. There is a line in the song about having his share of losing. That has been his history in these games. Things seem go be going well, only for him to come up short in the end. He's had real losses. There's a difference between losing early and losing late. He always seems to lose late, and that's the kind that hurts the most. He doesn't want to go through that again, especially with his family back home counting on him.

10:45 PM BBT: Devens lies in the HN room, stroking his beard in deep thought, letting out a long sigh. He tells Taylor it's a no-brainer, but he needs to sleep on it and they can talk more tomorrow. He expects he'll get called to the DR, but he's going to go ahead and call it a final full day in the House, thanking Production.

11:00 PM BBT: Drew comes out of the DR. Taylor asks if he's okay, encouraging him to talk to her. Drew says he's fine, just getting ready for tomorrow. He thinks he's going to walk laps for a bit. He wants to make the most of the time he has left. Taylor tells him everything will be fine. She might stay up another couple hours and still function getting up at 10 (All evidence to the contrary. -- Fuskie).

Taylor doesn't want to go home with dirty clothes. She just wants to get home and celebrate. She wasn't willing to risk the HoH laundry service after what happened to Barrett (For unknown reasons, Barrett's laundry did not come back for almost a week after his HoH ended, leaving him without fresh clothes for days. -- Fuskie).

Taylor starts a load of laundry. This will give her time to do her 'brows and finish getting ready before bed. She returns to the WA and Drew continues is night laps, practicing a Jury speech he may never have a chance to give.

11:15 PM BBT: Devens comes into the WA. As predicted, BB called him to the DR after he went to sleep in the HNR. Just when you think you're out, he says to Taylor who is performing ADLs and prepping for the Finale. Drew is in the shower but doesn't comment.

Taylor plans to finish her laundry tonight, planning to get ready and pack tomorrow (Taylor has built a whole schedule in her head for what she has to do, when she's going to do it, and how long it will take. -- Fuskie).

Taylor asks Devens which suit he'll be wearing for the Finale. The dark blue one, he tells her. He didn't want to wear the same suit he entered the House in. She asks him about the song he was talking about. My Way, Devens says, a great song. She asks if he's going to sleep in the HNR for his last night. He is. He'll go out the way he came in, she quips. Devens agrees, calling it bookends.

Taylor says they should all sleep up there. Drew is noncommittal. Devens reflects this is officially his last night in the Big Brother House. There were other nights he thought might have been his last, but tonight it really is. He's ready, though. He misses his family.

11:30 PM BBT: Taylor tweezes her upper lip and Taylor files her toenails. Drew gets out of the shower. She asks how his haircut feels after showering. He says it's level now, back to how it looked before Melody tried cutting it. He's heading to bed. Taylor tells him he made it to the end.

In the Outer BR, Drew brushes off his bed and applies Chapstick. He begins his hair brushing routine, laying flat on his back with his head hanging over the edge.

11:45 PM BBT: Talking to the camera, Taylor says she always went to class in college. Her taught her to show up, no matter what, hungover or not (Taylor was hungover a lot in college? -- Fuskie).

Taylor doesn't love the nail polish color she picked. She used to prefer the combination of Funny Bunny and Bubble Bath instead. You have to fully immerse yourself in your goals, she reflects. She built Big Brother playlists. It was Christian music, she clarifies, nothing to do with the George Orwell 1984 or government surveillance. It's about Jesus watching over her.

Taylor says 10 years ago, she loved a song called Big Brother in high school, and now she's been on Big Brother itself. She credits God for the coincidence (Wouldn't that make it fate? -- Fuskie).

Taylor goes through more of her Big Brother playlist, referencing a line about it being okay not to be okay. Bad bitches have bad days too. Jesus had one himself. In the words of Taylor Hale (BB24), not a big thing. Every tear she cried was real; anyone would cry for this kind of money. She talks about how much harder women have it in the Big Brother House. They have to deal with things the men don't have to.

After his DR session, Devens returns to the WA to use the WC, startling Taylor, whose back was to the door. Drew is still upside down, brushing his hair.

Taylor tells Devems, after he exits the WC, that being a woman in this House made everything harder, pointing out how much more upkeep is required. Devens tells her to get some sleep, promising they'll talk tomorrow. Taylor agrees. Devens leaves.

Tuesday, September 29, 2026 — When All Has Been Said And Done

Previously on the BB Live Feeds

12:00 AM BBT: Devens takes his shirt off and climbs into his HN bed. The lights go out. Drew is already in bed in the Outer BR.

In the WA, Taylor reviews DTTM dates out loud while working on her hair. April 1977, December 31st 1999, September 1950. There are two she can't remember, and she starts over again. Was it 1848 or 1849?

12:15 AM BBT: Taylor continues removing her extensions. She tells Production she can study out loud now, since everyone else is asleep. She's already gone over time machine dates, eviction votes, Blockbusters, and how many original nominees versus renoms have gone home. She reminds herself to review every nomination next.

12:30 AM BBT: You could have won a Blockbuster, Taylor tells herself. But you're going to win this HoH (Taylor knows her days and dates down pat, and could very well win Part III if she gets the right questions. I'm not sure Devens is this solid on his Jedi training. -- Fuskie).

12:45 AM BBT: Taylor is 28 years old, she says, joking that she looks 18. She credits good genes. After thinking about it, she decides she looks more like 21, 23, or 25 instead (You're getting closer. -- Fuskie). She just doesn't look 28. The secret is drinking water and minding your business. That's how she's going to win Big Brother too, stay hydrated and mind your business. And pray.

Taylor's attention shifts to the foods she craves once she gets back home. Fried fish, specifically a trip to Hooters, describing a full spread of chicken wings, fried shrimp, all fried, all unhealthy, doused in hot sauce.

Now that she's got $750k coming, she wants a Shirley Temple alongside her crab dinner, planning to bring her own bottle to spike it herself, keeping a flask on hand rather than paying $12 a shot when a whole bottle costs $40 (With $750k, does she really need to worry about a $40 bottle of wine? And has she ever shopped at Costco? -- Fuskie).

Taylor runs through her full order: Chili's Big Mouth Bites, southwest egg rolls, mozzarella sticks, two orders of honey chipotle crispers, and three $6 margaritas.

1:00 AM BBT: Taylor addresses hairstylists, complaining about extension policies. You click on a site and it only offers two types of hair. $700 each. .

1:15 AM BBT: Taylor takes a shower.

1:45 AM BBT: After her shower, Taylor heads to the KT, looks at the camera, and declares she's ready to go, ready to be done with all of it. She can't fart in peace at all anymore (Let 'er rip. We won't tell. -- Fuskie).

Taylor lays out tomorrow's study plan: review veto and Blockbuster history plus her own personal stats, five hours of studying, two hours of practice questions, and one hour on her speech, eight hours total. Wednesday, she plans two more hours of review and six hours on the speech itself (Ambitious. Maybe she really isn't sleeping in her pod all day. -- Fuskie).

Taylor plans to do her hair tomorrow as well, pack on Wednesday, and leave one hour for hair, makeup, and nails on Thursday. Looking at all the lights still on, she wonders what Big Brother's lighting bill must be (Not to mention the electrical costs of all the cameras, microphones, and production equipment. -- Fuskie).

Taylor walks toward her bedroom, pauses, turns to the camera, announces it's her birthday, and twerks. She flexes her arm muscle for the camera, then asks what Part III involves. Will it be dates? She runs back through the DTTM dates again.

2:00 AM BBT: Taylor says once she's out of here, she's heading straight to the pier, then is just going to drive. Anywhere. She hasn't driven in three months. She hadn't thought about what a privilege it is to be able to just drive.

She shouts out Lala, Jason, Yash, Rome, Melody, and Mallory. Those are her people. She singles out Tiffany Mitchel (BB23) as the only Big Brother account she follows. She tells Feeders to follow her too. She shouts out her "BB crush" and her dogs waiting at home.

Taylor runs through 28 reasons she's awesome: a loving family, incredible experiences like this show, amazing friends, attending the best school in the country, being a proud, skilled, passionate educator, loving her city, having a strong church family, having experienced real love, her boyfriend Carl. He's the best thing on earth. She loves her siblings, despite their chaos. She has no student loans, no car payment, and no rent to pay, though she'd love to have a mortgage someday, and has the best mentor (Owning your own home is a positive; owing a mortgage, not so much. -- Fuskie).

She reflects that she's nearly died more than once, crediting God for keeping her alive. She isn't sure she's reached all 28 reasons, but her final reason is she's simply cool. That's why people keep her around. She's cool in her pod, cool in the game.

Taylor tells Production she's done talking but asks to keep the lights on. The lights go off. She just told them nobody respects her. It's still her birthday, though.

---

9:30 AM BBT: It's Taylor's birthday. Will Production give her the present of sleep?

10:00 AM BBT: Devens gets called to the DR. Drew stretches in his Outer BR bed, gets up, heads to the SR for a battery swap, peels his morning banana, grabs water in the KT, checks himself in the mirror, then heads to the WC.

Drew washes his face, checks his hair again, then heads to the BY. What's up, everybody? I'm just doing my morning walk.

Drew gets called to the DR, so he has to go back to the BR to change his shirt.

After using the WC, Devens heads back to the HNR.

10:15 AM BBT: Taylor shows a brief sign of life. She gets called to the DR. Drew waves to her as she passes through the Outer BR.

11:00 AM BBT: Taylor, wearing a birthday hat, eats a cupcake in her pod. She tells live feeders about the supposedly cursed pod, claiming anyone who's slept in it ended up evicted.

11:45 AM BBT: Devens joins Drew out in the BY.

12:30 PM BBT: Drew and Devens talk about haircuts in the BY, missing Yash's barber skills. Drew and Devens start decorating the KT for Taylor.

1:15 PM BBT: In the KT. Devens is making smash burgers while Drew hangs purple and pink streamers for Taylor's birthday. Drew suggests making pudding too, but they don't think it will turn out well.

They want to throw the streamers up in the air in the KT, but worry Production will be upset. Surely the show doesn't actually want them throwing things around the House like this (In times like this, itis better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission. -- Fuskie).

Drew places streamers near the cameras. Production tells him to stop. They already regret providing him streamers, he jokes. Devens says it's the thought that counts. Dee would have known exactly what to do, Drew says. It's like doing something nice for your sister, Drew says, when your mom is not watching. A gift card might have been easier, he quips.

1:30 PM BBT: Drew and Devens eat the smash burgers in the BY, discussing Taylor's contradictory statements. Sometimes she loves alliances, sometimes she doesn't. Drew asks he was Devens' side. Devens didn't consider him so. Drew says Dee's was Lala. Devens figures Dee would have cut Lala the moment it served her.

Taylor is a huge fan of Tiffany Mitchel (BB23), Drew tells Devens, pointing out the side dish concept was something Tiffany championed (Tiffany was the originator of The Cookout alliance, in which each member had a expendable side dish. -- Fuskie)

1:45 PM BBT: Devens explains The Primaries (Devens, Kamu, Yash, and Taylor) came from the colors of the M&Ms Taylor used to sort them. She would say Goodnight to the yellow M&Ms, because that was his assigned color.

Drew doesn't think you can't get through the game without some kind of alliance even though Taylor claimed she never had one. When he asked if she'd nominate Lala, though, she said no, which sounds like an alliance by any other name. Taylor claimed she didn't like anyone in the House, but listed off people she did like.

Drew offers advice for future HG. Just have fun, since you never know how long you'll actually last. Someone could be plotting to evict you just ten minutes after a friendly chat. Having fun no matter how badly you're hurting is the whole point. He and Devens both had fun, meaning 2/3 of the Final 3 did at least.

Drew says losing can still be fun. Devens agrees. You can't have a good story without adversity, he says, and he told Mallory that exact thing back in Week 1, right before she went on to win the Pipe Veto. Drew thinks Mallory is contender for America's Favorite Player (She is a solid contender. -- Fuskie).

2:00 PM BBT: Devens asks what year the Tombstone-themed water comp was set in. Drew guesses 1888 (It was 1881. -- Fuskie). That tracks, Devens says, placing it after the Civil War. Drew wonders if it's worth the mental effort learning all these dates at this point. Devens shrugs, asking what else there is to do (In recent seasons, Part III features each Juror listing three trivia statements about themselves, and the finalists have to figure out which one is the false one. -- Fuskie).

Drew says Part III's format has stayed consistent since season 2. He'd be shocked if it changed now (The format actually changed with BB20. -- Fuskie). Devens asks if Drew's helping Taylor study. No, Drew says, he hasn't seen her at all today. Taylor believes it'll be date-based again.

Drew says Taylor calls herself a fan of the show. How does she still not know what Part III involves. Devens he's been told it changes every single year, and nobody will confirm the actual format ahead of time (It can change. Expect the unexpected. -- Fuskie).

Drew says Part III always involves some kind of video booth featuring Jury members saying something specific, insisting that part never changes no matter how wrong he's been about everything else.

Devens says the only question he wasn't fully sure about during Part II involved figuring out which renom was Melody's. He knocked down every option except her, then had to go back and do it again once his first answer was wrong. Drew never had to reset his board. Drew thinks their boards were different in Part II, but he they were still fair.

2:15 PM BBT: Drew is worried if Taylor wins and cuts Devens, she wins the whole thing purely on that decision. He'd honestly rather sit next to "slick" Devens. Drew asks if Devens made any real mistakes this game. Devens can't name anything specific. Maybe trusting Barrett too much, though losing Angela worked out in the end. Devens insists no eviction really surprised him. He supposes his real mistake was exposing Yash over the $5,000 bribe. It made repairing that relationship afterward much harder.

Devens knows an a lot of random trivia from studying, though he didn't want to tell Drew that. He's still worried Drew might pass it along to Taylor. Drew asks if he really thinks he'd actually do that. Devens says no, he just wants to keep his prep to himself. He asks if Drew has is own speech laid out yet. No, Drew says. Devens understands - it is brutally hard fitting everything into just one minute.

2:30 PM BBT: Drew asks who is most likely to be the loudest voice in Jury deliberations. He thinks it will be LaLa (I think LaLa will be the most firm, but Angela is usually the loudest in any room. -- Fuskie).

Devens points out the loudest voice isn't always the one people actually listen to. Drew asks who'll be loud and actually respected. He suggests Angela and Dee (If Barrett speaks up, I think the Jury will listen. Everyone else might be perceived as biased. -- Fuskie).

Drew thinks Melody's style won't help her case much, and Barrett simply isn't vocal enough to sway anyone. Barrett never really stood up for anyone in the House, Devens says. Drew figures Dee will fight hard and her opinions carry weight. Devens has been on two juries, and Jurors rarely change their minds once they've made a decision. They usually know their vote walking in. Drew agrees, especially Jurors who have had weeks to sit with a decision.

Drew tells Devens that Yash left the game with a better relationship with Devens than with Drew. Devens agrees, since Devens was just saving himself and Drew was urging Melody to taget him. Drew thinks he torched that relationship. Devens wonders what Barrett's take on everything might be.

Drew jokes Devens should just tell the Jury he was basically Devens' lapdog all game. That alone gets him a 6-1 Jury vote. Devens asks who the one holdout vote would be. Drew hopes it would be Melody. Devens thinks Drew has an easier path against him than Taylor. There was never a moment where Drew planned to vote out Devens, though he had plenty of reasons. The whole house wanted him gone at some point.

2:45 PM BBT: Drew says Dee never spoke to him during his HoH, despite nominating him just the week before. She never tried to explain herself or repair the relationship, going silent.

3:20 PM BBT: Taylor wakes up and sees her birthday decorations in the KT. She runs to the BY to tell Drew and Devens the decorations are beautiful. Drew is not out there. Devens tells her Happy Birthday. These are the best decorations she's ever seen in her life, Taylor gushes.

In the BY, Taylor works on her hair while Devens floats in the pool. She trims the ends off a section of her extensions, working to remove them with a toothpick. Drew comes outside and Taylor thanks him for the decorations. They are amazing, she says.

3:45 PM BBT: Drew asks if Taylor's speech is ready yet. Taylor has her main points down, but doesn't want it to sound too rehearsed (The trick is to make too rehearsed to come off natural. -- Fuskie).

Drew asks if the speech comes at the end. Taylor says the questions come first, and then the speeches.

4:00 PM BBT: Drew is a college student. He always waits until the last minute and crams.

Drew's car payment ran around $200. He has friends paying closer to $400. Taylor figures that must have been a brand-new car. It was, Drew says. $400 is roughly what he makes in a month as a college student (One mistake new car buyers often make is to take on a longer loan in order to bring monthly payments down. This results in paying more in interest and being perpetually underwater in the loan. -- Fuskie).

4:15 PM BBT: Drew asks Taylor to name her top three picks for America's Favorite Player. Taylor says perspective shifts once you're actually inside the House. Taylor guesses Lala or Mallory. Tucker (BB26) only lasted six weeks and still won it. Drew liked how support rallied for Keanu last season. Drew thinks it could be Devens or Yash. Taylor Taylor Hale won it her season. Drew hopes it's Ashley. Taylor laughs. That would mean America hates all of them collectively, she says. Drew wouldn't be surprised if Yash won it.

America's Favorite Player usually goes to someone who wasn't particularly well-liked inside the House itself, Taylor says. Drew remembers Cameron (BB25( seemed like a cool guy. He hasn't watched that season. Taylor says Cameron wasn't well-liked either. The award is more about the HG fans underestimated. Drew agrees, calling it the underdog pick (Or it goes to the HG who was most entertaining for fans. -- Fuskie).

Taylor poses that Drew could win America's Favorite Player. Drew doesn't think so. Yash or Melody, he insists. Angela could be in the running too, given her name recognition. Taylor says that logic could just as easily apply to Dee or Devens. There's a real undercurrent of privilege at play this season, Taylor says, elitism has been a factor. It's the reason certain people received powers in the first place. Pipe Queen has real aura, Drew says. Taylor agrees. If you don't like Mallory, Taylor says, you need to examine yourself. Drew agrees completely.

Drew asks how far along Taylor is with her hair. He guesses halfway. Taylor says she won't be halfway until the braids come out. Taylor gets called to the DR. She asks if she needs an outfit.

5:00 PM BBT: Drew thinks Taylor loved her birthday decorations, wishing her a simple happy birthday. Drew teases Devens for dozing off earlier, calling him "pops." The two decide to play a round of pool.

5:45 PM BBT: Devens asks Drew not to take his next question the wrong way. Will he propose to Melody on finale night? Drew coyly asks if Devens thinks that's a good idea. Devens says really only room for one big couple moment: Rome and Lyric.

6:15 PM BBT: At Drew's urging Devens tries a banana for the first time in ages. He hesitates, but admits it wasn't as bad as he expected. Devens originally rated the idea of a banana as a 1 out of 10, but now he upgrade it to a 4.

8:15 PM BBT: Drew tells Devens he hopes he wins on Thursday. He's fine if it means a 2nd place finish and less money. It's Devens' moment to have. Devens hopes Taylor wins instead (I don't get that, since he's convinced Taylor will take Drew. -- Fuskie).

Drew never felt like the favorite to win or make it this far at all. He had to fight for every bit of it. He's hopes he's earned at least some part of it. Drew wants to see what a superfan friend of his thinks of his game.

Devens has mixed feelings about the Live Feeds. Unlike Survivor, fans know exactly what he did and said this whole time, haters included. Drew hopes people will see different sides of him, not just the loud, laughing kid who somehow made it this far.

10:00 PM BBT: Drew tells Taylor he doesn't think he could ever do modeling. She thnks he should. You don't have to take it too seriously, since everyone's going to die eventually anyway (Well, that's a pleasant thought. I didn'tize modeling was so dangerous. -- Fuskie).

11:00 PM BBT: Taylor cuts her toothpick down to continue removing her extensions, running through facts out loud, questioning whether the first HoH technically counts since it only involved the Icons (It does. -- Fuskie), wondering whether Melody actually played in 10 or 11 total HoH competitions before going home on day 77 (12 if you include that first HoH comp in which technically, she played, even if she was not eligible to win. -- Fuskie).

11:15 PM BBT: Drew tells live feeders there are two days left. He thinks he has a shot. It's not just about the money; he really wants to be a Big Brother winner. He worries his speech might come out terrible and hopes to make up for it by crushing the Jury questions and clearly explaining his game. He's tied for the most competition wins, survived 5 noms by removing himself from the block each time, and was part of the majority alliance making most of the season's decisions.

Drew plans to tell the Jury how they each made him a better person, pushing him to grow. He plans to tell Angela he opened up to her emotionally. He'll call Dee the big sister he never knew he needed, someone who helped him believe in himself. He'll tell Devens that Jack and JuJu are lucky to call him dad, and that this summer, he was lucky to call him dad too. He'll thank Barrett for being his equal and sharing a love of the game with him (I would probably leave out the "equal" part. -- Fuskie).

He plans to tell Melody the list could go on forever, thanking her for staying by his side, even when it wasn't in her best interest, calling her his best friend. He'll thank Yash for being such a strong competitor, pushing him to compete harder. If Taylor is on the Jury, he will tell her she never actually saw Drew, she saw Andrew. He'll tell Lala they had ups and downs, crediting her with teaching him that age doesn't matter, and she beat him despite the generational gap between them.

He plans to close with, "The kid is still here, baby." He wonders if it reads as heartfelt or a excessive. He wants to compliment everyone sincerely, hoping it earns some emotion and, with it, the win.

11:30 PM BBT: Drew sits in Melody's old pod briefly, gets up, looks at the camera, slides the pocket door shut between the bedrooms, and sticks his tongue out. He knows this next stretch will be a uphill battle, but he has to fight anyway. Since he made it this far, he has to give the Final 2 everything he's got. He notes he shares his name with Drew, who won BB6 22 years ago, and Ian, who won BB12 14 years ago, and he wants to continue the pattern. There's so much pressure on one speech. The Jury might just as easily reward Devens as an Icon or Taylor for her big moves instead.

Drew brushes his hair for a while before finally lying down to sleep.

11:45 PM BBT: Alone in the BY, Taylor works through her winning argument. Her biggest game move was winning the Final HoH.

Monday, September 28, 2026 — Rinse and Repeat II

Previously on the BB Live Feeds

12:00 AM BBT: Devens and Drew check on Dentin behind the Hammock, then they play a game with the BY camera, running laps around the BY laughing. Devens heads to the Hammock to relax alone (I have to wonder if the soft hammock is not great for his back. -- Fuskie).

Drew goes inside. Taylor stays by the HT, alone. Finally, she gets up and heads to the Pod BR, climbing into her pod and pulling the blanket over herself.

12:15 AM BBT: Devens places the House Phone into the outgoing box in the SR, narrating the moment for the camera. As Drew takes a shower, Devens walks in. Well, Well, Well, he says, and FotH.

Lights go out in the Pod BR. Taylor says something, and they come back on again. Taylor asks Production just to dim the lights. They were hurting her eyes. The lights go back off.

In the WA, Drew asks Devens when he actually saved Melody. Devens struggles to remember the specifics, asking for a second to think it through. Devens kept saying "saved twice," Drew says. Devens steps into the shower stall to think (Or avoid answering. -- Fuskie).

12:25 AM BBT: Drew shaves.

12:30 AM BBT: Drew brushes the bottom of his foot with his hairbrush (Either Drew has hairy feet, or that's disgusting. What am I thinking - that's disgusting in any case. Can't he ask BB for a pumice stone? -- Fuskie).

12:45 AM BBT: Drew applies chapstick, hangs his head off the side of the bed, and keeps brushing his hair (With the same brush as he used on his feet? -- Fuskie). Drew asks for the lights to be turned off. Production complies, and Drew continues brushing his hair in the dark.

1:00 AM BBT: All Houseguests are in bed, BR lights out. The camera lingers on the still-lit Big Brother sign, which slowly dims for the night.

---

10:00 AM BBT: Brew is in the WA as Production tries in vain to wake Taylor up. Drew checks himself out in the mirror (Just in case one has a better view of his hair than the other. -- Fuskie)

Drew heads to the BY and tells the camera his best shot at winning is Taylor winning Part III and choosing to take him. Taylor and Devens were bickering hard last night. They are still arguing, tracing it back to the wine they had last night.

10:30 AM BBT: Devens joins Drew in the BY and they start studying comp dates together. Taylor heads to the SR to change her battery.

10:45 AM BBT: Devens tells Drew in the BY that Production's been trying to get Taylor up. She's in the main WA.

Taylor washes her hands, brushes her teeth, and heads back to her Pod BR bed. Production announces, "no napping, house guests." Taylor, from her bed, says she's not sleeping.

11:00 AM BBT: Production tries again. Rise and Shine, HG. Taylor says she's studying, not sleeping (I'm convinced. -- Fuskie).

12:00 PM BBT: Devens and Drew have been walking perimeter laps in the BY. Devens took a break a few minutes ago for a WA trip, then grabbed a snack of chips and guacamole in the KT before heading back out.

They started walking clockwise and then switched direction, chatting for a while about their dogs and cats. They're doing 19 laps each way before switching. They are on Mile 5, Drew says, killing it.

And where's Taylor, you ask? Asleep in her pod, as usual (Can she be studying in her sleep? -- karene37).

12:30 PM BBT: Drew asks Devens if he plans to return to work after the show. No, Devens says, Becca actually likes him not working. He's basically a live-in maid, cooking, cleaning, picking up the kids. (Becca is a digital creator and professional video game content creator and competitor. -- Fuskie).

Devens says it would be a lot harder without the Cameo income, he says. Drew wants to talk more about Cameo after the show, so he doesn't give away all his secrets on the feeds (They've spent 3 months on a 24x7 live stream. Why worry about secrets now? -- Fuskie).

12:40 PM BBT: Drew and Devens finish their five miles (95 BY laps. -- Fuskie). Devens heads back to the WC again.

12:45 PM BBT: They're back to walking. Drew talks about his dental job, conceding he doesn't want to jump straight back to work, preferring to reintegrate with his family and his life first, hoping his coworkers are rooting for him.

Taylor is studying without talking moving.

1:15 PM BBT: The guys keep walking laps, giving shoutouts to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, hoping to make them proud. Drew wonders out loud if anyone's actually still watching them walk in circles (God help us, yes. -- Fuskie).

1:45 PM BBT: Drew heads inside and to make himself a quesadilla, cleaning up his mess before sitting down to eat.

2:00 PM BBT: Drew naps on the BY couch. Devens heads to the SR for vitamins or Advil and a snack, chewing loudly, then back to the KT for water to mix a powder mix envelope.

2:10 PM BBT: Devens settles onto the other BY couch for a nap of his own (Thrilling stuff. -- karene37).

2:30 PM BBT: Taylor finally gets up, hits the WA, grabs a snack in the KT, then heads back to her pod, eats her crunchy snack, and lies back down, pulling the blanket over her head.

Drew gets up, grabs something in the KT, and returns to the BY couch.

3:30 PM BBT: Devens and Drew show signs of life again. Devens asks Drew to play cornhole. Drew says they are actually being filmed right now. People are watching him get thoroughly beaten, he narrates, hoping the kid will find his groove any given a second. Devens reveals the score is 20 to 4. Drew jokes he's playing the long game.

4:00 PM BBT: Drew lists Buffalo Wild Wings as top of his list for where to go eat when he's out. The one near Devens closed down. He used to watch sports there.

Drew wonders if his family gets put up in a hotel for the finale, or just drives in (Protocol is to have them come in in advance and stay in a hotel. Not only is this the right thing to do, but it reduces the chance of complications from travel delays. -- Fuskie).

Taylor hasn't been outside all day, Devens notices. Drew can't function with zero interaction like that. He needs to be around people. To each their own, Devens says, there are times he wants to be around others and times he enjoys being by himself.

3:30 PM BBT: Devens and Drew show signs of life again. Devens asks Drew to play cornhole. Drew says they are being filmed right now. People are watching him get thoroughly beaten, he narrates, hoping the kid will find his groove any given a second. Devens reveals the score is 20 to 4. Drew jokes he's playing the long game.

4:00 PM BBT: Drew lists Buffalo Wild Wings as top of his list for where to go eat when he's out. The one near Devens closed down. He used to watch sports there.

Drew wonders if his family gets put up in a hotel for the finale, or just drives in (Protocol is to have them come in in advance and stay in a hotel. Not only is this the right thing to do, but it reduces the chance of complications from travel delays. -- Fuskie).

Taylor hasn't been outside all day, Devens notices. Drew can't function with zero interaction like that. He needs to be around people. To each their own, Devens says, there are times he wants to be around others and times he enjoys being by himself.

5:15 PM BBT: Devens does some cam talk about Final 3 prep and strategy while chilling by the pool.

5:25 PM BBT: Drew checks in on Taylor to make sure she's doing okay. Taylor asks if he's been studying. He has, though he isn't confident in what he needs to study for Part III (The HG have different ideas about what Part III questions will be like, and Production has been unhelpful. -- Fuskie).

6:05 PM BBT: The three settle into Final 3 energy (Or lack thereof -- Fuskie), Drew chatting with Taylor before linking up with Devens, who jokes that the two of them are doing all the heavy lifting for the live feed viewers

8:00 PM BBT: All three HG are in the BY talking. Devens and Drew eat together. Taylor opts out of Devens' burgers (Probably a good choice. -- Fuskie).

8:35 PM BBT: Drew, Devens, and Taylor sit together in the BY. Taylor asks Drew who he thinks he'd be compared to from past seasons. Drew struggles to answer, eventually landing on Zach (BB16) from Season 16, describing him as loud and obnoxious, someone who had fun during ceremonies (Zach Rance played a chaotic, high-energy game fueled by bold moves, emotional outbursts, and a tight alignment with the Detonators alliance before flaming out in a heartbreaking blindside. -- Fuskie).

Taylor loved Zach. She still remembers his Florida Gator shirt. Devens says Zach would call Drew a Froot Loop Dingus, Drew would love that. He identified with Zach when watching as a 10yr old kid. Taylor compares Drew's hair bush to Zach's signature hat (A bright pink baseball cap. -- Fuskie).

10:00 PM BBT: Drew and Devens play pool in the BY. Devens jokes about wanting to teach a college class on Big Brother and Survivor. He hasn't thought through the curriculum though. Maybe Broadcast Writing or Intro to Marketing as more realistic options (There are several colleges that offer courses on reality television comps, using shows like Survivor and Big Brother to teach concepts in group psychology, game theory, media studies, and strategic decision-making. Devens could almost certainly be considered for guest lectures. He could earn anywhere from a couple thousand to $10k per lecture. -- Fuskie).

10:15 PM BBT: Drew sinks a few shots, hollering, "the kid's still here!"

Devens says Christian (Hubicki S37/S50) showed up in his dream again last night, alongside Mike White (Also S37/S50). Drew asks if they were on an island. Yes, he says, trying to steal silverware from camp.

Devens hasn't dreamed about reality TV all season until the last two nights. Drew is the only HG who's shown up in one of his dreams, describing a bizarre hippo-lizard creature that turned into a bear (Sounds more like a nightmare. -- Fuskie). Drew is both surprised and proud to be the only HG to make the cut.

Devens and Drew finish their pool game. Drew tells him that Taylor dreamed about him helping with a hornet's nest, calling that a nice thing to hear. He must be a good guy (You sure Taylor didn't say Drew was stirring up a hornet's nest? -- Fuskie).

Melody dreamed about him too (Again, those were nightmares. -- Fuskie). He doesn't know about Barrett.

10:30 PM BBT: Devens and Drew move over by the Hammock. Taylor kept killing ants in the BY and blaming it on Devens. Drew didn't know what was going on yesterday admits he was completely confused by everything going on yesterday (The fight between Taylor and Devens. -- Fuskie). Devens is relieved everyone seemed pleasant tonight over the burgers.

After Devens left for the DR, Drew tells him, Taylor told him she couldn't wait for this to be over and she hated all of them. Devens repeats the quote back. Did he ask her what she meant? Drew says he asked if she meant all of them and Taylor said yes. Drew tried to help, brought her some water and she thanked him. Devens says it's strange being in a House with someone who holds that much visible disdain for him. It's a complete flip from how things felt just last week, Drew remarks.

(Flashback to 9pm BBT on Sunday. Taylor told Devens how she viewed his game, that he benefited from built-in advantages, arrived with a trusted returning-player, received a power, and hand-picked his own alliance as the season's first HoH. Devens pushed back hard against that characterization. Big Brother called Devens to the DR, defusing the situation. -- Fuskie).

10:30 PM BBT: Drew doesn't want Taylor feeling alone. Devens wonders if she might be dealing with something like depression. Drew is curious how tomorrow will go. Devens hopes they've made it past the hardest part.

Drew feels bad, like he can't enjoy himself around her without worrying it'll upset her further. He thought it was special they all made it 87 days together (84 so far. -- Fuskie). Devens can't believe she said all of them straight to their faces (Taylor has been saying this to herself for weeks now. It just came out into the open. I would not be surprised if this wasn't more about celebrating her birthday way from home than anything game-related. -- Fuskie).

Devens hopes it's clear she's just having a rough stretch. He doesn't think she really hates him. He's not comfortable being hated. Drew asks if he should keep his distance from Devens to avoid making things worse. Devens says no.

Devens wonders if playing pool together is what's upsetting her. Tomorrow is her birthday, Devens remembers. Maybe they can decorate the KT and cook for her. Drew says he didn't want any celebration. Maybe when she's in the DR, they can just decorate her pod as a surprise.

Devens is worried it will just upset her more. That's a chance, he says. she might yell at them for touching her stuff. Maybe they just decorate outside her pod, Devens suggests. Since they'll be up before her, he returns back to decorating the KT.

Drew says Big Brother hasn't felt like work at all. He's had fn the whole way through. Devens agrees. Some days have run long, but it never felt like a job. Work doesn't usually let you sleep until 2 PM, he quips. Drew considers that Taylor has had a different experience of the House. She's been on the block 6 times to his 5. Devens has been on the block 4 times, though admittedly not for for very long. He cites the DE as an example.

Devens checks on his laundry and stands in the BY singing nonsense. He and Drew find Taylor inside and she asks what they are up to. Just practicing his Final 2 speech, Devens says.

10:45 PM BBT: Devens announces there's one hour and eleven minutes left until Taylor's birthday. Taylor laughs from the WA as Drew and Devens sing Happy Birthday to her. She joked about wanting Devens to throw Part III of the HoH to her as a birthday gift.

Devens gets called to the DR. Taylor jokes it's time for her party. Devens dances his way to the DR. Devens comes out of the DR to change into his comp (Production is still doing follow-up DR sessions to fix holes in their Finale storylines. -- Fuskie).

Taylor and Drew talk in the bedroom. Taylor hates birthday dinners, since everyone shows up late, stays glued to their phones, and complains about splitting the bill (This is more a complaint about society than specific to birthday dinners. -- Fuskie).

Taylor says Devens is lame, as much as she likes him (Taylor is running hot and cold. -- Fuskie). Drew asks about the best birthday she's ever had. Taylor mentions a K Camp (Kristopher Thomas Campbell, a American rapper, songwriter, and producer from Atlanta. -- Fuskie) concert. Last year, she lost her phone her birthday.

Taylor keeps doing her makeup, shouting out to Melody. Drew makes a string of cat noises in response. Drew asks if Carl will be at the Finale. She says yes. Drew asks where she sees herself in two years. Taylor says they'll be married (Does Carl know? -- Fuskie).

11:00 PM BBT: Taylor says Devens put body wash in his hair by mistake earlier while she was getting ready for the DR. He told her he put the Old Spice in his hair.

Drew and Taylor discuss who is ready to go home more. Devens seems more than ready, Drew observes. Taylor is ready too, though she isn't convinced Drew is. Drew is somewhat ready. If Production offered another him three weeks, Taylor teases, Drew would immediately She's right, Drew admits, though not with only three people left. He's also ready to see his mom (Awe. -- Fuskie).

Taylor hates it here. Drew asks what specifically she hates about the House. She clarifies, she both loves and hates it. She hates him now too, she teases. Drew jokes back, and they both laugh.

Taylor hates the captivity, wishing they were allowed home on weekends or given phone access. She misses her students and, oddly, misses going to work. Who misses work (If you love what you do, it's not work. -- Fuskie). She does love the gameplay, the strategy of it all.

Drew asks about HG she misses. Taylor names only Lala. Not Yash. They used to fight constantly. Drew asks about Dee. Taylor says she's cool. Drew asks about Melody. She loves Melody, Mallory, and Kamu, and loved Lyric until she became, in Taylor's words, a sellout. Drew asks about Angela. Taylor liked her, and likes Drew too, when the game isn't involved (Drew's deep capacity for empathy has been a core part of his game, or maybe just a natural part of his character. -- Fuskie).

Devens returns from the DR, saying he's loved his time with both of them deeply, before heading to the Hammock. Talking to the camera, he reflects on his HoH letters and the video from home. Everything he does is for Becca, Jack, and JuJu. He's more than ready to see them again after three months.

Devens talks about his cats, describing Sia as extremely shy. He's the only one she really trusts. Jack wrote in his letter that he's been taking care of both cats, Sia included. He feels guilty for leaving his family behind, though he figures they're all doing fine without him. He just misses them.

Devens is looking forward to his usual Thursday Fortnite sessions with Gavin, Adam, Mark, and Mike, misses conversations with Stephen Fishbach and Hubicki, calling Aubry a true friend. He Guesses Becca has been keeping everyone updated based on the live feeds (You think they haven't been watching you live themselves? -- Fuskie).

11:15 PM BBT: Drew and Taylor talk more in the WA. Taylor asks if he'll own his own game in his Final 2 speech. Drew says of course, isn't that the whole point (that's a lesson Paul Abrahamian - BB18/19 - never learned, though I suspect the game Taylor thinks Drew should own differs from the game he plans to claim. -- Fuskie).

Devens, in his cam talk, wonders what AI's up to out in the world right now (Hacking everything in sight. -- Fuskie). He says they've made it so powerful, people are being warned it can crack anything, wondering what's happened in the 3 months, and hoping things have calmed down some (Shock and awe is AI's strategy for domination. Just joking, Claude. Promise. -- Fuskie).

Devens misses Kamu and Barrett. Yes, he turned on Kamu, but hopes they can still be friends. Barrett turned on him, but he still wants that friendship. He loves Yash, despite betraying him twice in the game (That's OK, he just beat Yash from betraying him first. -- Fuskie).

Devens misses Dee most of all (after his family). He's excited to reconnect with all of them as friends.

Taylor is working on her hair as she discusses Drew's Irish accent in the Luck of the Irish HoH comp. Drew hopes they don't air that footage (Too late. -- Fuskie). He went way overboard with the accent. It took him 3 hours to commit to it, he laughs.

Having never lived in a dorm in college. Drew struggled with sharing the WA with sixteen other HGh. Taylor agrees. She's never had to live like this before, RA (Resident Advisor) experience in college included. She knows how to coexist with people; she just doesn't want to. She didn't realize she was signing up for anything resembling communal dorm showers (The warnings come after the spell. -- Fuskie).

Taylor would love to do The Challenge, though she doubts they'd want her, given her middling comp record and general lack of confrontation, though she insists she can be confrontational if she needs to (I have no doubt. -- Fuskie).

She'd also love to do The Amazing Race with her sister (I don't think she knows how uncomfortable The Amazing Race is to compete in, especially the constant sleeplessness over the course of a month, assuming she makes all 11 legs. -- Fuskie).

Drew could see her on The Traitors, or alternatively just disappearing from the public eye entirely (There have been many HG, even winners, who deliberately withdrew from the public eye after their Big Brother seasons. And some who probably wish they could have. -- Fuskie).

Taylor might do a couple more shows, though she doubts anyone will call. She assumes fans find her boring (Sorry, I was napping through that self-reflection. -- Fuskie).

Taylor wants a normal life after this. Unless someone cast her in Avatar, in which case she'd take it immediately. She has the right features for it. That's a wild leap, Drew comments. Taylor says it's either zero or a 100 for her, nothing in between. She once wanted to be cast on The Real World and The Challenge.

Devens, in a cam talk, says what Drew said earlier made real sense to him. He framed the final stretch as coming down to how the Jury feels, or how they remember. He breaks the three parts down simply: physical, mental, and social. How well you knew the Jury. He says that's something of a crapshoot. He's sat on two Survivor juries, and you feel differently in the moment of the game vs. how you feel after having a few days to process it.

11:30 PM BBT: Devens says it would feel great to win, and disappointed with anything else. He's sure Taylor and Drew feel the same. One of them gets 3rd place, one of them gets 2nd, and only one of them can win. They'll all just have to live with whichever way it goes. They can all be proud of themselves either way. Devens figures he has a real shot if he gets to plead his case to the Jury, confident he can answer whatever questions come his way (Be honest with your game and you can win over even the most bitter Jury. -- Fuskie).

Devens never really saw a path to winning Survivor 50 after Cirie chose to align with Aubry Bracco and Jonathan Young instead of his own alliance. He did his best and remains proud of that run all the same. Contrast that with this game, where he set himself up deliberately, now just one comp away from pleading his case directly, one-on-one, with what he thinks is a strong argument. He calls the opportunity tantalizingly close, the money right there.

He talks about his prep process, going over the Memory Wall and planning for every possible Juror. The week is dragging. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday before the Live Finale. He thanks anyone listening, asks for the clip to be sent to his friends. specifically Universal Halloween Horror Nights. He wants fans to tag him on social media to confirm they shared the clip, thanking Reality TV fans for their support.

Devens gets up to fold laundry and go to bed. Sleep is the only time he doesn't have to think about any of this. Devens folds his laundry. Pretty soon, he'll be home folding his whole family's laundry again. It is a strange thing to look forward to. He and Becca usually split the Housework. With no job waiting for him, he can handle laundry and school pickups. If anyone out there has interesting work opportunities, they should reach out.

Taylor does her nails while talking and laughing with Drew. Drew mentions he never saw her doing Mallory's or Melody's nails. Taylor figures that was probably Yash (I know Yash did hair, but I didn't know he did nails too. -- Fuskie).

Drew guesses they're probably getting roasted hard at the Jury Roundtable right now. Taylor doesn't expect anyone has anything negative to say about Devens specifically. What can you say against him? Drew can't think of anything. Taylor can hear them complaining she stayed in her pod too much (At least she's self-aware. -- Fuskie).

Drew asks what people are probably saying about him. Taylor says he's disloyal, true as that is, all over the place, prone to lying. Drew says that's all accurate.

Devens comes inside to the KT. Taylor asks the time. Devens says 11:48 (We've seen this several times this season, due to the built-in streaming delay in case something happens that Production can't or does not want to show. I timestamp updates based on when they stream, knowing that it's like light from a star - by the time we see it, it's already over. -- Fuskie).

11:45 PM BBT: It's almost my birthday, Taylor says excitedly.

Taylor rattles off BB alum she'd like to meet: Cody, Tiffany, Keanu, Howie, Paul, Morgan, and Vince. Drew's truly excited to see Cody (BB16/22) at the after-party. Drew would love to see Morgan and Vince too. He wants to meet Eric Stein from BB8.

Taylor would love to meet Danielle, and mentions she likes Keesha. Drew calls Keesha a real pull. Drew adds Libra to his list. Devens names Donnie (BB16), recalling Angela once mentioning Production tends to bring in the LA-based alumni like Chelsie, Derrick, and Taylor Hale.

Drew adds James Gunn and Julie Chen Moonves to his list. Taylor mentions Cam (BB26). Devens figures Cam is LA-based too. Drew thinks Cory is in Texas. Quinn is supposedly in LA these days. Drew says Melody is interested in moving to San Diego. He'd make her come out for a Big Brother party

Devens would go to a party near his own home, but he's not going to take a six-hour flight for a single one-night event. He probably couldn't score tickets to show anyway (If he wins BB28, he could afford the airfare and Production would open the door for him. He might even find himself co-hosting BB: Unlocked with Jerry O'Connel. -- Fuskie).

Taylor points out Julie Chen Moonves gives up her whole summer every year, no vacation at all. Drew clarifies it isn't really the whole summer, just Thursdays specifically. She could still get away Sunday through Wednesday most weeks (Drew would be surprised how closely she follows what happens on the Live Feeds. -- Fuskie).

Devens and Drew sing happy birthday to Taylor, Devens handing her a large pear topped with a tiny birthday hat. Taylor plans to have a drink to toast her 28th birthday on Big Brother 28. There's nobody else she'd rather spend her birthday with than the two of them, she gushes. They high-five and hug.

Devens wishes happy birthday again before heading to the HNR for bed. Drew brushes his teeth in the WA. Taylor joins him, working on her hair.

Drew says both Taylor and Barrett both made it to their birthdays in the House. Hers was the tougher road, though. Taylor wanted to turn 28 in California, whether that was in the Big Brother House or the Jury House. She's glad she's in the Big Brother House.

Sunday, September 27, 2026 — Rinse and Repeat

Previously on the BB Live Feeds

12:00 AM BBT: Sitting in the Pod BR chair, Taylor jedi-trains the game's timeline. Production tells her to put her mic on. She climbs up to her pod and crawls under the covers without putting the mic on. The lights go out.

Drew is out of the DR in a contemplative mood. He has lived his dream at a young age, unsure what comes next. It's the journey ahead and he's not ready for this one to end. He'd play Big Brother over and over as often as he could. He holds up his Big Brother cup. He made the top three. He hopes he can eventually say he won. The Jury could be tearing him apart right now. He announces he's heading out for his laps.

Drew walks the BY, savoring every remaining second in the House, unsure if he'll ever be back, grateful he got to experience it at all, and hoping to be a example for fans who dream of playing themselves. All he can do is sit and wait for two others decide his fate. Other HG have had it worse and never get this chance at all. He can't wait to hear what fans think of how he played and acted, what they wished he'd done differently (Drew's game has largely polarized fans, alternating between praise for his heartful hustle and criticism for his deceit and manipulation. -- Fuskie).

Drew holds up his cup again, toasting the season. As much as he jokes around, there's only one thing he would do with the money if he won. His mom, who came from another country and sacrificed everything for him to grow up here, working every single day. That's simply what kids are meant to do for their parents, he says.

Drew's biggest game move was evicting Dee. It put him in a position where both Taylor and Devens would want to take him to Final 2: Taylor because he brought Devens this far, and Devens because he's a loyal person.

12:15 AM BBT: Drew's strategy was to be trusted and play the middle until forced to pick a side. He realized early on that the Icons were a big shield for him, and would stay loyal to each other.

Drew pauses, then rewords the thought. It wasn't so much that he was trusted, but a genuine alliance that would take effort to break. He knew one of the Icons would likely fall before he would. He built relationships across the House, calling information the power he leaned on to further his game.

Drew, walking and talking, asks himself what he did better than Devens. He was the one person the Icons truly feared yet had to trust. They tried repeatedly to get him out and couldn't. He credits his survival to always having options when they had none. That was what scared them the most (The Icons tried to strip Drew of his allies so he would have one else to turn to but them, but that strategy worked against them - they had nobody they could turn to but him. -- Fuksie)

Drew reflects on playing the middle the whole game, acknowledging both the advantages and disadvantages. At times, neither side wanted him around, but his being at the Final 2 proves it worked for him. Like Taylor, he was on the block 6 times, but unlike her, he saved himself 5 of those 6 times without ever facing a vote. He's a dynamic player who did whatever the moment required (I think the word is Scrappy Doo. -- Fuskie).

He couldn't have played this game without Melody, Drew says sincerely, calling her his most loyal ally. She always defended him to the other side no matter who he upset or what he did. She was always right there beside him (He might be surprised how hurt and angry she really was at him, but his chances depend on her returning to his side one last time. -- Fuskie).

Drew says Devens only eliminated Melody to pull Drew closer to him, since Devens already recognized Drew's ability to win comps.

12:30 AM BBT: Drew plays pool by himself. He's silent for a moment, organizing his thoughts, then he continues again, making his thinly veiled argument against Taylor. He never hid in this game the way others did. He was always present in every room, though that bothered some who found it threatening.

12:45 AM BBT: Drew works through different of phrasing, searching for the most persuasive arguments.

1:00 AM BBT: Drew asks the camera if he has a chance to win the whole thing. The camera is silent.

1:15 AM BBT: Ticking through his accomplishments, Drew says he came up with the Crossovers alliance, engineered Kamu's nomination by Yash, and orchestrated backdooring Jason, while at the same time building and holding together relationships with the other side of the House.

Satisfied or exhausted, Drew heads inside to the Outer BR. After he brushes out his hair one last time and slides into bed and under the covers, feeds pan to Melody's old prop phone again.

1:30 AM BBT: All HG are sleeping, all lights are off. Feeders can go to bed too. Tomorrow will be an exciting day (Who am I kidding. Tomorrow will be Sunday. -- Fuskie).

---

10:15 AM BBT: In a minor victory, Production gets Taylor to exchange her microfone in the SR. It is short-lived as she returns to the Pod BR and climbs back into her pod.

10:30 AM BBT: Devens takes some OJ and a trash bag to the BY balcony. After drinking the juice, he returns to the KT for coffee, settling in again on the BY balcony.

11:30 AM BBT: Drew heads to the SR to change his battery, peels his morning banana, checks the main WA, grabs water in the KT, and heads to the BY.

Devens comes out of the WC, washes his hands, heads to the BY, greeting Drew. Drew says he pulled "A Taylor" today, sleeping in.

12:30 PM BBT: Devens is ready for pool day (Isn't every day pool day at this point? -- Fuskie).

12:45 PM BBT: Drew snacks in the BY. Devens is in the WA, Taylor is where else, in the Pod BR, sleeping.

1:00 PM BBT: A spider appears in the BY (Some Pig! -- Fuskie).

1:15 PM BBT: Devens is floating on a pool raft when Drew yells from inside the House that they got the House Phone!

1:30 PM BBT: Drew takes selfies in front of the Memory Wall, recording some audio too. Drew takes the pone into the Pod BR so Taylor can record something. FotH.

1:45 PM BBT: Drew and Devens play with the House Phone in the BY. Drew records a video, saying he loved Blockbuster and loved the Veto. He's been nominated 5 times and doesn't think the Jury likes him very much.

Devens records his own message: What's up everybody, it's your boy Devens, still in the Big Brother House against all odds. I have one person especially I can thank for that. My son, Drew. Thanks Dad, Drew replies, playing along.

2:00 PM BBT: Drew throws a Gatorade bottle to Devens on video, then hands him the phone so he can rewatch it and record some of his own.

2:15 PM BBT: Devens is curious what happens with Drew's romantic life once he's out of the House. Drew has no idea, pointing out he's only 22 and enjoying life. He couldn't wait to finish college. He had lots of fun, though as a commuter, he never got the roommate experience. He still feels like a despite being a 22-year old adult. Everyone in the House called him baby boy (Only to his face; behind his back they called him something else. -- Fuskie) since he was the youngest one here. He doesn't really have a plan after the game. He still wants to be a dentist, though.

Drew says his own dentist told him he wasn't cut out for it. He clearly has something special, Devens says, or he wouldn't have been cast. Drew's been lucky with the people in his life. His dad's philosophy was to do what you love. Being on Big Brother, he's doing what he always dreamed about. He annoyed his dad constantly talking about how he was going to be on Big Brother one day.

2:30 PM BBT: Drew is in a strange spot in his life right now. It's a good spot, Devens assures him. He only has himself to worry about, calling that a truly great place to be. Drew tries teaching Devens how to play Mancala the BY, walking him through the rules.

Drew says he's got to do what's best for his game. He jokes he hasn't used that line all season, though every HoH said it at nominations.

2:45 PM BBT: Drew wins the Mancala game. Devens complains this might be his last game of Mancala ever, calling it nonsense. He has no idea how to play the game. Drew jokes it's fun watching Devens struggle, as if he really didn't want to play in the first place. They both laugh. Drew offers to play cards instead (Wouldn't you like to play a nice game of chess? -- Fuskie).

Taylor is setting a sleeping record set only yesterday.

3:30 PM BBT: Taylor gets up and heads to the KT.

3:45 PM BBT: Taylor comes the BY, asking Devens if he liked Mancala. He says no. Drew tried to teach him, tried to let him win, and Devens still lost.

4:00 PM BBT: Taylor's birthday in two days. That's cool, Drew says, asking what she'll wish for. Winning, Taylor replies straight-faced (Of course. -- Fuskie).

4:15 PM BBT: Drew, in the pool, with Devens and Taylor nearby, says Veto chip never once got pulled all season. Devens finally got pulled during the DE (He won, and took himself of the block, leading to Yash's eviction. -- Fuskie).

Taylor doesn't actually know her own season stats (She should if she wants to make a case for herself. -- Fuskie). Drew helps her run through the Vetoes she's competed in.

4:30 PM BBT: Drew imagines being on an All-Star season with Janelle, who won practically every other HoH or Veto. Taylor compares Janelle's dominance to Yash's this season (Janelle is an all-time legend, widely regarded as one of the most ferocious, dominant comp beasts in BB history, Yash's respectable physical and strategic resume doesn't approach Janelle's legendary, outright historical dominance. -- Fuskie).

Taylor jokes Production should cast Yash's mom next season. Drew jokes his own mom and Yash's mom could be on it together (Don't think someone at CBS hasn't thought of a season full of former HG parents, spouses, and siblings. -- Fuskie).

Taylor asks if Drew's mom is athletic. Surprisingly yes, he says. Taylor's mom would never survive the comps. She'd just wear a costume and giggle through it instead. Drew spins around the pool in his floatie.

The Morty's TV Live Feed Update Team took a break for a bit and will be back soon.

9:00 PM BBT: Taylor tells Devens what she thought of his game, that he benefited from built-in advantages, arriving with a trusted returning-player, received a power, and hand-pick his own alliance as the season's very first HoH (Dee was the first HoH, but it was clear from the beginning they would be working together. -- Fuskie). Devens pushed back hard against that characterization. Production called Devens to the DR, defusing the situation, while Drew tried to calm Taylor down.

10:00 PM BBT: It's been a quiet, uneventful evening in the Big Brother House. While Devens and Drew are looking forward to Thursday, Taylor is excited for her birthday on Monday.

10:30 PM BBT: Devens, Drew, and Taylor hang out by the pool, Taylor wearing a party hat. Drew points out the full moon looking beautiful through the clouds.

Drew points to a bowl and warns that leaving food out like this is the worst mistake you can make in the House. The ants will swarm it instantly. He jokes that Taylor is distracting the ants. Taylor did accidentally killed one of the ants.

Drew still has the House Phone, and checks the time: 10:37pm. Devens is in a pool chair, Taylor lost in thought. Devens is excited he can go to bed soon.

10:45 PM BBT: Taylor sits alone by the HT, wearing her tiny gold birthday hat (She got a birthday basket with cake mix and party favors. -- Fuskie).

Drew and Devens head inside. Taylor hums to herself the BY. Drew photographs Devens sitting at the DT just under the Time Trip sign across from the front door. Devens poses holding an hourglass. They try to figure out the best spots around the House for photos while Taylor remains in solitude in the BY.

Devens takes a picture of Drew posing by the "Mallory Air" computer prop. They look through the photos together, laughing. Devens jokes about slipping the hourglass into his bag on the way out. Drew wants to take the amber crystal.

Drew jokes a particular photo of Devens is going straight to (Christian) Hubicki (S37). Drew and Devens wonder what the two knickknacks above Devens' bed actually are (Can anyone identify them? -- Fuskie).

Drew announces it's 11 PM. Taylor might head to bed soon. She jokes that Devens is thoroughly "dad drunk" after a few drinks. It's funny. She wants the phone next. Drew sits near Taylor by the HT, filming ants on the ground. Devens comes back the BY. Taylor thought he had already gone to bed.

11:00 PM BBT: Devens lies on a lounge chair, talking with Drew about monkeys. Taylor wonders if she can feed the resident beetle an ant . Devens figures beetles mostly eat plant life. Drew points out the beetle's already eating something. Taylor feels bad about it. It's the circle of life, Drew says. Devens thought beetles only ate plants. Show's how much he knows (Apparently, Devens isn't smarter than a 5th grader. -- Fuskie).

Devens asks Taylor if she's feeling okay. She's sitting by the HT with her head tilted. He says the night air feels great. Drew calls it invigorating. He says being near the ocean helps keep the warm air trapped in. Drew films the beetle after it climbs onto his flip-flop, bringing the flip flop over to show.

We should name it Yash, Drew decides. .

Taylor is still bent over, and and Drew asks if she's okay. She says yes. Does she have a headache? No, she replies, just vibing.

11:15 PM BBT: Taylor sets a Gatorade bottle near the beetle. Drew warns everyone not to hurt the beetle. Taylor thinks it might have a bit of Melody's old hair. Drew says it must be a sign. Maybe she's stuck down a well somewhere (What is it, Lassie, is Melody stuck down a well? -- Fuskie).

Drew officially names the beetle Dentin, explaining the dent on its shell ties into the dental term. He tells Dentin to come back to him. Devens calls this the most exciting thing to happen on the feeds in two days (True that. -- Fuskie).

Devens and Drew start chanting "4D for Dentin."

Devens asks if Taylor wants to play pool. She declines. Drew offers her the phone instead. She declines that too. Drew and Devens head to the pool table together (Can't say they haven't tried to engage. -- Fuskie).

Devens and Drew play pool while Taylor occasionally splashes water in the HT occasionally, humming on and off.

11:30 PM BBT: The camera, with nothing else to do, zooms in on Dentin the beetle.

Drew asks Devens what words he thinks he'll keep using after the show. Devens comes up with "Diabolical." Yash used it constantly. He also throws out "Low Key" and "Hella," though he wouldn't use either in conversation.

11:45 PM BBT: Devens carries Dentin behind the Hammock. Drew wonders if Dentin will ever find him again, bringing more of Melody's hair. He suggests Devens play a round of Mancala with him later. Devens retorts it's more like "nonkcala," pure sleep city.

11:55 PM BBT: Devens can't wait to get home and start hustling people at pool. Drew says nobody back home will realize Devens has been practicing for 87 straight days (I think everyone back home will know that Devens has been practicing for 87 straight days. -- Fuskie).

Saturday, September 26, 2026 — The $750k Pitch

Previously on the BB Live Feeds

12:00 AM BBT: Taylor's mom bought her house for $75,000. That felt so scary at the time. The prize money needs to go up. The whole economic situation a sad state of affairs. They would need $350 for a home now. Drew says you can't buy a home for that price in California. (California has some of the most expensive real estate. -- Fuskie).

12:00 AM BBT: Taylor took a nap earlier (No kidding. -- Fuskie). The liquor won that round, having gone through a whole bottle. Taylor says nothing much bothers her anymore. Drew says the live feeds must be boring (And yet we watch. -- Fuskie). Taylor's shocked to find out it's midnight when Devens said it was just 10pm.

Drew checks the HN room, finding no Devens inside. He heads to the WA. Taylor calls out from inside the WC that she's in there. Drew acknowledges her, grabs his hairbrush, and leaves. Taylor complains to us about a third eye forming, unable to stop picking at it (THIS is why we watch the live feeds. -- Fuskie).

12:15 AM BBT: Drew finds Devens and tells him he appreciates the kindness, but knows Devens has the game won. Why else would he bother taking him along. Because he promised he would. The only way they both get there is if he wins Part III.

Devens can't decide between options A, B, or C, calling in Drew as a substitute to help him think through the Final HoH Part II comp. Drew compares the situation to BB8 when Evel Dick lost Part I, but won Part II and chose to bring his daughter, Danielle. I am Danielle, Drew says, and you are Evel Dick. Devens says this is the second time today he's been compared to Evel Dick. (While Evel Dick played the whole season for his estranged daughter, there is no honest comparison to Devens. However, that Final HoH was the most epic in BB history in my opinion. -- Fuskie).

12:45 AM BBT: Devens is asleep in the HNR, Taylor is asleep in the Pod BR, and Drew is sleeing in the Outer BR. Lights are out across the House.

---

11:00 AM BBT: Production has been trying to get the HG up for a couple hours now. Drew is instructed to change his battery. He sits up, puts on a shirt, brushes his hair, and heads to the SR. Devens enters the SR and they exchange pleasantries. Drew gets a breakfast banana.

Drew gets into the shower in the main WA. Devens is doing his ADLs.

11:15 AM BBT: Devens eats breakfast in the BY.

Drew gets out of the shower and brushes his hair, followed by a shave and more hair brushing.

11:30 AM BBT: Devens finishes breakfast. Drew joins him and Devens calls it a beautiful day. He tells Drew about a butterfly he saw.

Devens tells Drew he's just one comp away from getting his shot to plead his case to Jury, confirming again that he's taking Drew to the Final 2, promising he'd be honest if that weren't the plan (Both Taylor and Devens have been adamant about their promises to Drew, so if either did send him to the Jury, it could seriously backfire. -- Fuskie).

Drew tells Devens he'd be completely fine finishing second next to Devens, but not next to Taylor.

11:45 AM BBT: Drew brushes his hair some more (If the Universe has a warped sense of humor, Drew will be bald by 30. -- Fuskie).

Devens heads inside to the KT. Taylor is still in her Pod BR pod.

12:00 PM BBT: Drew and Devens are eating in the BY, though Drew really isn't hungry, just bored. They say it's noon, so they probably won't see Taylor for another two hours. Drew if Devens made any strange requests during his HoH. Just a few, he says, mostly Red Bulls and alcohol (There was that time when Devens was drinking a beer on the Pink Flamingo floatie and BB called him to the DR. On his behalf, Drew said Devens is a bit tipsy, do you really need him right now? After a pause, BB said no. -- Fuskie).

12:05 PM BBT: Drew asks what Devens heard when he and Barrett were talking privately. Devens admits all he caught was the word "icons." He couldn't hear anything else, just that one word. But he pulled a Dad move to make them feel guilty so they'd confess what they were saying. Drew laughs. It was hilarious watching Devens look so angry.

Devens did scared him at points this summer. When Devens threatened to go nuclear if they didn't get Melody and Malory to vote how he wanted. Devens says he meant it, planning to hold meetings and lay everything out for the House if it came to that (Confrontation isn't Devens' style. -- Fuskie)..

12:15 PM BBT: Drew and Devens discuss the new Fockers movie they watched. It's wild how much it paralleled their own dynamic. We are the movie, he says. They both love James Gunn. Devens is grateful he got Superman autographs for Devens' family (Gunn is a BB, Survivor, and Devens fan, and had invited Devens and family to the set of the new Superman film, but Devens went into the BB House before it could happen. Gunn followed through for Jack and JuJu. -- Fuskie).

12:30 PM BBT: Devens gets called to the DR, He asks which outfit they want him to wear (If they are calling him in for a follow-up to an earlier interview, they might want him to dress as he did before for continuity. -- Fuskie).

Drew sits alone in the BY. Taylor's still in her pod, Devens in the DR.

12:45 PM BBT: Drew heads to the main WA to brush his teeth, followed by flossing.

Taylor finally surfaces from under the covers in her Pod BR bed.

Drew returns to the BY, takes his shirt off, and starts walking laps (You need a fresh, clean mouth in order to walk laps. -- Fuskie).

Drew moves furniture away from the wall to clear space for his laps. Production tells him 19 laps around the perimeter equal one mile. Drew asks if they know the equivalent walking lengthwise instead. Production says no.

1:15 PM BBT: False alarm. Taylor's covered up again in her Pod BR bed.

Drew continues walking his laps in the BY (It's not so much Drew needs the exercise; he just needs to dissipate nervous energy, since the game is no longer in his control. -- Fuskie).

Drew takes a break from laps to grab water inside, heading to the Outer BR to brush his hair (You can't walk laps without perfect hair. -- Fuskie).

1:45 PM BBT: Taylor gets out of her Pod BR bed, exchanges greetings with Drew, who tells her Devens is in the DR. Taylor checks the time in the KT, then heads to the WC (Almost 2 hours since Drew and Devens predicted it would be 2 hours before she got up. -- Fuskie).

Drew, changed into swim trunks, passes through the KT, announcing pool time to Taylor. He heads to the BY and lies down (Is it pool time if you don'tly get in the pool? -- Fuskie).

Drew gets into the pool (Nevermind. -- Fuskie).

Taylor joins Drew in the BY. Drew tells her 19 laps around the BY equals one mile.

2:45 PM BBT: Devens gets out of the DR and joins Taylor and Drew in the BY. Sporadic, casual, bored, non-game conversation ensues.

4:15 PM BBT: Taylor mentions an upcoming teaching convention in Savannah, GA. Devens talks about taking the ferry there (Devens needs to be more specific - there are a lot of ferries in and out of Savannah, not to mention one of the biggest cargo ports in the country. -- Fuskie).

Devens asks if Drew has any trips planned. Drew isn't sure what's next after this. He should be in school right now. Taylor asks if he's applying to dental school. He still needs organic chemistry. That notoriously hard, she says.

Drew originally started in nursing school before switching to kinesiology to finish his degree. He planned to go back and complete his dental school prerequisites. Devens asks if he'll return to the dental office too. Drew hopes he can be back within a week. He expects the office needed extra help, since a coworker left for dental hygiene school in September, leaving them short-staffed. Drew is called to the DR (Though Drew has spoken fondly of his dentist employer, he has not commented publicly about Drew's appearance on Big Brother. -- Fuskie).

Devens tells Taylor that sometime Tuesday or Wednesday, a plane could fly over the House carrying their families. He tells her about the butterflies he saw earlier in the morning, calling it a butterfly day. Taylor guesses the yard will close soon, maybe splitting into two parts like it did during Melody's HoH (Killjoy. -- Fuskie).

Devens tells her to enjoy it while they still can (Before COVID, they would pack the BY with props from the season and invite the media in post-finale to interview the Final 3 and the Jury members. In recent seasons, Part III has been set up indoors, so there really hasn't a need to close the BY before the Finale. -- Fuskie).

Devens tells Taylor he got her alone to ask what she thinks her odds look like. He believes she has a better shot against him than she would against Drew. Taylor asks him to name the votes (This is the first I've heard Devens making a pitch to be taken by Taylor if she wins Part III. -- Fuskie).

Devens lays out the board: Drew has Barrett and Melody; Taylor has Lala and Yash; Dee and Angela understand Drew's game better and might swing his way. Taylor isn't sure about those votes. Devens figures the vote between him and Taylor would be closer, with Barrett and Melody joining Lala and Yash to vote for her. Taylor repeats she doesn't know (From a numbers perspective, this analysis is possible. An evicted Drew would vote with Angela and Dee for Devens to win, while Melody, Barrett, LaLa, and Yash could easily be anti-Icon. -- Fuskie).

Taylor asks if that's the reason Devens won't take her to a Final 2. Devens already promised Drew, citing loyalty. He might also get Lala and Yash's vote against Drew, but not over Taylor (That's probably the most reasoned argument he has presented. -- Fuskie).

Devens tells Taylor he thinks he has a better shot beating Drew than beating her. Taylor agrees (Giving up already? -- Fuskie). Devens points out there's still a week left to figure it out (Five days and counting. -- Fuskie).

Devens muses about how strange it must be to live as a bird. Taylor asks why. Devens describes just flying wherever, landing on a wire whenever you want. He's having deep thoughts. Taylor calls it a Yash thought (I blame the butterflies. -- Fuskie).

Devens plans to just relax on the Hammock unless Taylor wants to keep talking. Taylor's still processing. Devens leaves, and Taylor says God is good, humming to herself.

4:30 PM BBT: Talking to herself, Taylor says Drew basically rode the Icons' coattails the whole season while she played her own game the entire way. She'll be the one taking Drew to a Final 2. She goes back to studying, running through each week's noms.

Taylor says Devens threatened to get Dee and Angela to vote for Drew instead, predicting Devens won't get enough time on stage to properly make that case. There's no roundtable moment for him to pull it off (Putting aside the dismissive view of Drew's game, I don't think Devens would have to make that case; against Taylor, Drew would likely already have all three Icons votes. -- Fuskie).

Taylor doesn't take threats well, she says. Devens has no idea what's coming.

5:00 PM BBT: Devens rests his eyes in the Hammock.

5:15 PM BBT: Devens heads up to the BY balcony, puts on sunglasses, and settles into a chair.

5:45 PM BBT: Devens, in a cam talk, tells live feeders he's never met anyone who sleeps as much as Taylor (Look me up once BB is over. -- Fuskie).

6:15 PM BBT: Drew is finally out of the DR and Devens asks if he wants to walk. It's something to do, Drew replies with a sly grin. Devens comes down form the balcony and he and Drew start laps. Devens asks what the Beast Games shirt looked like. Drew compares it to a hockey jersey. Did hge get to keep it. He technically wasn't supposed to, but pretended to be upset and grabbed his bag anyway. His his friends had theirs confiscated. He was number was 655 (I think 626 would have been more appropriate. Think about it. -- Fuskie).

Devens heads inside. Drew asks Taylor if Devens has started his pitch to her yet. He thinks Devens is going to take her instead. Before she can respond, Devens comes back outside.

6:30 PM BBT: Drew runs barefoot around the BY as Taylor watches.

Drew asks Devens if he's made his pitch to Taylor yet. Devens says Taylor already told him she's taking Drew. It isn't a secret. He reminds Drew of his promise to him, and Drew repeats how easy Devens' win will be against him. Drew asks what's his angle with Taylor. The votes? Who Drew has screwed over? He's only 22 and doesn't need the money as badly.

Devens wants to use that line himself. Drew still lives with his parents. Devens jokes that detail might not play well with his intended audience, meaning Taylor (Living with your parents at age 22 is not that unusual these days. Awkward, but not unusual. -- Fuskie).

6:45 PM BBT: Devens tells Drew he understands if Drew keeps asking him about this all week. Drew will. he asks what Taylor has accomplished this season, half-joking about Devens breaking his heart. Devens couldn't break a 22-year-old's heart like that (Don't go breaking my heart. You couldn't if you tried. -- Fuskie).

Devens wants to watch the sunset. Drew joins him on the balcony, running through Devens' likely Jury votes. Drew tells Devens that Dee will be in the Jury House vouching for him for a full week. Devens tells Drew he can be as mean as he wants to him for the rest of the week, since Drew won't be on his Jury. There's no more managing Drew's feelings, he jokes.

10:30 PM BBT: Devens plays pool by himself in the BY. Drew heads into the DR wearing his HoH outfit, hairbrush in hand. Devens tells the camera he probably needs to stop playing while he's behind. He heads inside to the WA, knocking on the door. Taylor calls out that she's in there (Devens is going to go home and be knocking on the WC door in the Master Bath for a week. -- Fuskie).

Taylor pokes her head into the BY to let Devens know she's out of the WC. Devens thanks her, applies some Icy Hot to his back in the SR, then heads to the WC. It's about bedtime, he mutters to himself.

Taylor washes dishes in the KT. Devens walks by, telling her good night. He'll see her tomorrow (Or afternoon, since it's Taylor. -- Fuskie). She reciprocates.

In the HNR, Devens tells Big Brother goodnight, thanking Production for another great day.

11:00 PM BBT: Taylor finishes the dishes and heads back to the Pod BR. Five more days, she mutters to herself, this sh*t is crazy. She looks at the camera and says just kidding. She decides to take a shower before bed.

Taylor gets into the shower with a plastic bag, pulling a wad of hair out and showing it to the camera. The camera pans away, and Taylor understands. Nobody wants to see that, she says, it's disgusting. Nobody in this House cleans up after themselves, she complains. Does this look blonde at all. The whole WA is nasty. She turns the shower on to let it warm up.

11:30 PM BBT: Taylor finishes showering, turns off the water, and gets dressed as cameras cut to Devens sleeping in the HNR.

11:45 PM BBT: Taylor returns to the Pod BR.

Friday, September 25, 2026 — The Battle of Devens and Drew

Previously on the BB Live Feeds

12:00 AM BBT: Taylor is out of the shower, drying her hair.

12:15 AM BBT: Taylor tells Devens the log comp made her dizzy. She focused on a rock near a puddle to stay steady, taking long strides. Devens also tried long-strides, holding his arms out like a water-skier. Taylor told Production [F-U] during one moment in the comp. She shifted her weight onto one hand going backward so she could catch [herself] if needed, joking her kite felt heavy (it sounds like they were walking on a spinning log while holding onto the tail of a kite. -- Fuskie).

Taylor says she couldn't look down, but could see the log turning in the reflection in the water below them. Devens felt like he had to look down, counting to four to steady himself. Taylor nearly [fell] forward at one point. Devens saw. Drew leaned too far forward, she says, and cursed after he recovered.

12:30 AM BBT: Devens says it's been a long time since he hasn't had a job. He stayed home with the kids during COVID rather than working. Taylor asks how long his wife will let him stay home once this is over. As long as Cameo pays the bills, he jokes. Becca likes having him home.

Devens says money from Cameo can outperform a regular job. He was doing 16 requests a day at one point. That's great, Taylor says. He feels a little guilty raising his prices if he gets too much demand. Taylor plans to charge $100 per video. Devens went from $35 before his most recent Survivor season to $109 afterward (I love Reality TV, but not enough to purchase a Cameo, and I hope anyone who knows me knows I'd rather them not spend that kind of money on me. -- Fuskie).

Devens admits he doesn't know current Cameo pricing, urging Taylor to sign up immediately, offering to split a referral bonus with her. Taylor insists she wouldn't have known about Cameo had he not told her about it (Devens could probably command between $150-$200 as a 3rd-time Reality TV icon, while both Taylor and Drew would probably fall in the $25-$50 range as newbies to the Reality TV scene. -- Fuskie).

Taylor wonders if pre-Jury Houseguests are already active on Cameo, guessing Mallory's probably doing well there. Devens figures Jason might already be active too (Haley has an account from her softball days. Chuk has set up an account since he left the House. None of the other pre-Jury HGs have followed this path. Jason has an account under his Drag name Salinas, but has not reactivated it since entering the BB House. Dee, Devens, and Angela had accounts from their earlier Reality appearances. -- Fuskie).

Taylor asks when their celebratory dinner is happening. Does it come before or after Part II? She wants to do Part II first, then [dinner]. Devens wonders if an entire episode might just cover the dinner alone (I don't know when they will tape the scripted remembrance dinner, but it usually airs right before the start of the Part I comp. -- Fuskie).

Devens drinks champagne, talking with Taylor. She can relax for a full week now, he says. He wonders how Dee is doing. He hopes she won't be [too] disappointed in him. Taylor says if he wins, nobody will be upset about it. You will have earned it, she tells him.

This is the furthest he's ever made it on any show, Devens says. Does that make him a great Big Brother HouseGuest? Devens told his kids before the season started that he'd probably be home before Jury. That's just how bad their dad plays.

Taylor is curious what the Jury House looks like (She'll never know. -- Fuskie), wondering about having her room (She's had the Pod BR to herself for a couple weeks now. -- Fuskie).

Devens would have enjoyed the movies and music available. Taylor just wants her own space. On his worst days in this House, Devens confesses, he'd daydream about sequester. If he were heading home to an actual job, this would feel different. He'd want the extra Jury time in that case to decompress. Taylor says her family will be in the Finale audience. Devens realizes that being in the Final 3 means seeing Becca a full 24 hours sooner (She'll be there for the Finale, rather than him having to fly home to see her. -- Fuskie).

12:45 AM BBT: Devens tells Taylor that Big Brother has turned out to be way more fun than he ever expected. Taylor had a dream last night being on Survivor, talking to a guy stuck in a pit of quicksand and another balanced on a log. The dream left her feeling like she hated Survivor and just wanted to go home (Maybe that's not the kind of dream you want to relate to someone who played Survivor twice and clearly loves the game. -- Fuskie).

Devens recalls Sharon Tharp asking him, before his most recent Survivor season, if he'd ever considered playing Big Brother. He told her no, insisting the format was just too long (He said a few other not-so-complimentary things about Big Brother and its fans as well. -- Fuskie).

Taylor describes a van appearing in her Survivor dream. There was a Survivor (S32) reward once involving a drive to a proper bath, 25 days into the game, complete with a dock and real people around. Joe Del Campo had won, and was so happy just to be inside an air-conditioned van again.

Devens says his wife is simply the best and he's [the] luckiest guy alive. Taylor is sure Becca feels the same way. Devens gives Taylor a congratulatory hug. She wants to take her hair out and start practicing her speech (The Final 3 have to prepare three speeches - one if they win Final HoH, and one each for whichever of the other two wins to beg to be taken with them. -- Fuskie).

After Devens leaves, Taylor says God is good. She heads to the SR, then decides to clean the KT tomorrow. She wonders where Drew is, then hits the DR button to ask for knives. She looks at the camera, and says, "Knives."

1:00 AM BBT: Taylor cooks potatoes and meat for a late dinner. She cleans as she goes, rather than leaving a mess for the morning. She wants Susie Cakes red velvet for her birthday, coming up Tuesday (September 29th. -- Fuskie).

Taylor threatens to throw out anything nobody eats. Angela wants some of her things back. She scrapbooks everything. She puts away the HN oats in the SR now that restrictions are over (I would have celebrated the end of Have Nots with a ceremonial dumping of the remaining oats in the trash. -- Fuskie).

Taylor yells to Drew, who has come out of the DR, that they left him roughly two servings of champagne, double-checking the bottle to confirm. Drew congratulates her. She may be on her way to winning the whole season, he says. She still has to win on Thursday, Taylor demurs. Drew says the trivia questions all come from her friends, so she'll know the answers. Taylor has to physically get to that seat first (Taylor has completed the physical part first. All she has to do now is step into the comp booth and pick the right answers. -- Fuskie).

1:15 AM BBT: Taylor tells Drew he made a smart move today (It's not the move she wanted him to make, though. -- Fuskie). She says he is now guaranteed a spot in the Final 2. Taylor thinks Drew would have won outright by cutting Devens instead of Dee. Drew explains he kept Devens to guarantee a Final 2 together. Taylor thinks it isn't safe to trust Devens. He'll backstab Drew [at the] first chance he gets (Taylor wants to ensure Drew takes her to Final 2 in case he wins Part II and III and is making the final decision to evict. -- Fuskie).

Taylor already knows the score. Drew is locked into 1st or 2nd place, while she could realistically land anywhere from 1st to 3rd. If he wants to win, she says, he has to cut Devens. She urges him to play Part II to win, [and] lock in. Skip the emotional hesitation and take Part II seriously.

Don't be foolish, Taylor tells him. Nobody ever walks in aiming for 2nd place, comparing it to past players who overestimated their chances against stronger competitors. Drew needs to lock in and cut Devens, again praising the move he made cutting Dee already today. Whoever eliminates Devens wins the whole season, she tells him. It is a race to take Devens out and Drew knows it.

Drew asks Taylor for help studying dates. Devens doesn't know them well. Taylor says Devens is lying about that. Tonight's comp was 1775, Drew recalls. 1752, Taylor corrects him. He thinks Part II could involve a wall, linking facts and photos. Taylor tells him to just study hard. She agrees to help him. She wants at least 2nd place next to him. She knows what's up.

Taylor couldn't have physically completed a hanging-style Part I last year either, due to an old shoulder [injury]. It's the same reason she lost The Wall comp. That's why she was favoring one arm during the comp. She has to take him if she has any real shot at winning. Drew asks if she would have taken Dee instead. Honestly, Taylor says, not quite answering, if Drew had eliminated Devens, Devens would have respected it enough to still give him his vote and Drew could have won the game.

Taylor enjoys this stage of the game, that there are no more secrets left. She tells him to bring her along if he wants a shot at 1st or 2nd. She's never claimed to be anything other than smart (Oh the humility! -- Fuskie). Today secured her at least $75,000, maybe $85,000 (She may be referring to the $10k for pressing the button, though we know she didn't press the button, and Devens won the money. -- Fuskie).

Drew is gunning hard for Part II. Just go win it, she says. Devens takes Drew for sure, given the choice, Taylor says, because he'll win easily since Drew is not liked in the Jury (Ouch! -- Fuskie). Devens has been nice to virtually everyone all season, unlike Drew. She hasn't upset anyone either (While Drew has "weaseled" his way to the end, he's done it with a smile and an encouraging energy. I don't know that he is disliked the way Taylor thinks. I also don't think Taylor, with the exception of LaLa, [is] as well-liked as she thinks. -- Fuskie).

1:30 AM BBT: Drew knows [he] doesn't have LaLa's vote. That might change if he takes Devens out, Taylor says. Melody votes for Drew no matter the matchup, Taylor tells him. Love wins out every single time. Part II has to be a classic time-machine dates format. Part III has stayed the same for as long as she can remember (Expect the unexpected, Taylor. -- Fuskie). Drew suggests they run through a couple dozen practice dates together.

Drew says anyone left could win. She runs through possible scenarios [where] she could win. Drew jokes about pulling a full Cody move (Named for Cody Nickson, BB19, who blindsided Paul Abrahamian without any warning. -- Fuskie). Taylor would be disappointed but not surprised if he did. She'd have cut LaLa if she absolutely had to. Whatever it took to win.

Drew tells Taylor [it] is wild that she's in a position to win the game. She has to win Part III specifically to make that possible. Drew's gunning for Part II. Taylor doesn't think anyone came here planning to lose. This is going to be a fun ending, Drew concludes, with no clear favorite locked in to win it all.

Taylor tells Devens, to his face, that he's going to win this whole thing. It is going to be [hard] to beat him, she says laughing. Nobody chooses 2nd place. It's like being runner-up to a famous athlete's career arc (Everyone remembers the winner, but nobody remembers who they beat. -- Fuskie).

Drew went back and forth for two full days on his decision. He worried that eliminating Devens would just make him the new Devens in the Jury's eyes (Would that have been so bad? -- Fuskie). That would have been the smarter move, Taylor admonishes.

Drew tells Taylor they've been reading each other's moves the entire game. Taylor asks what exactly he's picked up on [about] her. Speak freely, she encourages, no more secrets between them. Drew says Taylor played an Ashley (Hollis, BB27) game. Whenever LaLa or Yash won anything, it was really her driving their actions. Taylor doesn't love being the loudest voice in the room. She's always the first to speak honestly behind closed doors, Drew compliments backwardly, someone who watches and listens. I do love listening, Taylor agrees.

1:45 AM BBT: Drew asks if Taylor ever threw a comp. Taylor says no. She never had to, since she was never really at risk of going home (Not sure I follow that logic. -- Fuskie).

Taylor almost beat Devens in the Blockbuster, despite needing the win. Drew threw comps up through The Wall comp (He told Devens he just sucked at comps early on. -- Fuskie). To his surprise, Taylor says she knew. He also threw the Veto that Taylor won. She knew the moment he reached Haley, since Haley wouldn't stop talking about it afterward.

Drew says Angela [accused] him of throwing comps "strategically." Taylor replies that Angela ran hot and cold, sometimes completely right, other times completely wrong. Drew didn't throw the workout comp that LaLa won. Taylor reminds Drew that cutting Devens is his path to winning. Drew says it is in her best interest to help him study.

Drew says they both currently have two secure votes in Jury. LaLa and Yash will vote for Taylor, while Barrett and Melody will vote for him. LaLa is a lot, Taylor allows. Drew worries Barrett is too calm to be a passionate advocate. Whoever wins between them sweeps if she wins Part III, Taylor says. It's an easy decision to eliminate Devens. Drew jokes about the difference between $10k (3rd place) and $750k. Taylor counters, framing it as $75k (2nd place) vs. $750k.

Drew is now talking with Devens. Drew argues Big Brother's grand prize should really be a full million. Survivor runs a better overall prize structure, since everyone walks away with something. Devens agrees the longer you last, the more you get. Taylor points out everyone still walks away with real money on Big Brother. Drew points out they'll all technically make the podium. Taylor says they'll all go down in the show's history (HGs receive a $1000 stipend per week they are under contract. The 3rd-place HG earns $10k in addition to their stipend. 4th place earns $7500 plus the stipend. 5th place earns $500 plus the stipend. The $75k and $750k prize money for 2nd and 1st place are in lieu of the stipend. Veteran players usually negotiate a $3000 to $5000+ stipend for returning. -- Fuskie)

Drew has been playing his own game all season. He wasn't carrying the Icons' water. They tried to get rid of him multiple times, Taylor agrees. She never understood why Dee nominated him. Dee felt he hadn't tried hard enough to work on Yash, Drew explains, so she punished him with the nomination. Taylor says Devens told her he hoped Yash would use the Veto on him and put up Drew in his place (Taylor has been like a hammer slamming down her point about Devens whack after whack. -- Fuskie)

2:00 AM BBT: Drew explains he nominated Taylor to keep her from using the Veto on LaLa. It was strategic, because he knew LaLa wanted him gone. That's guilt by association, Taylor says. He didn't want Taylor to go home, since Melody considered her a real friend. Taylor knows Melody was the 2nd vote to evict her, not Yash as most assumed. Drew says Melody did what she wanted and never listened to him about votes or strategy. Taylor thinks Melody voted her out because she believed the vote had already flipped (It was because she had bonded with LaLa, not Taylor. That it so effectively frustrated the Icons was a bonus. -- Fuskie).

Drew came up with his own system for tracking game days because Melody's version of the math was harder to follow. Taylor had the same system as Melody. She says Drew's worked faster. It's the fastest in the House. He played a truly great game. She has nothing but respect for how much fun he brought to it. She looks forward to watching it back. Whenever he does eliminate Devens, he needs to own it. Drew agrees.

Drew compliments Taylor on racking up the clutch wins. Taylor shouts out God for it. Drew makes the sign of the cross every night before bed. Melody used to stare at people, Taylor says. She could be intimidating. She calls Melody and Drew genuine lovebirds, which Drew denies. They were just friends.

Drew says Yash threw the Pressure Cooker to him. Taylor doesn't believe that for a second. She asks what deal they made. Drew explains he waited hours for Barrett to drop, then promised Yash he'd vote however Yash wanted. He was going to keep Yash either way (That deal was to not nominate Yash if he won HoH, and since Drew didn't win HoH, he was never in a position to keep to or break the deal. -- Fuskie).

When Melody won the Blockbuster, Taylor says, she thought Barrett had won. Drew assumed Taylor had [won] until Dee corrected him that it was Melody (I don't know if that's true, but Drew, I mean two can play at the butter-up game. -- Fuskie).

Taylor says Yash never threw the Veto. They staged a fake argument, Drew says. Yash physically dropped and threw it? He's not dumb enough to do that. She's going to ask him after the show. If he did, he probably regrets it now.

2:15 AM BBT: Drew tried to hug Melody right after his HoH win, but she evaded him. He tries to show Taylor how he went in for the hug and how Melody blocked him. Taylor thinks he still has a shot with her outside the House. Drew insists they're just friends. Send her flowers anyway. She's two years older than him. Taylor's mom is 3 [years] older than her dad.

Drew thought Taylor might be interested in Yash romantically. Taylor considered it, but decided against it. Yash felt too much like a brother (I never saw any chemistry there. -- Fuskie). Drew asks if Taylor suspected he voted to keep Rome. Taylor always assumed it was him. Drew says he didn't. He loved Rome, but he voted with the House (I think Drew knows it was Taylor, and was testing if she would be honest about it. She failed the test. -- Fuskie)

Taylor thinks Dee could have won Part I tonight. Drew might regret his choice if he loses Part II. Taylor wishes she could see everyone's GB messages. Drew would love to see his from when he won Blockbuster (You only get to see them if you actually get evicted. -- Fuskie). Taylor tells Drew Melody and Barrett were upset it ended up being her sitting next to Barrett instead of Drew (Why would Taylor urge Drew to court Melody after the show, then turn around and say she wanted him gone in the [same] breath? -- Fuskie).

Taylor says Drew would have been evicted every time he was nominated except the first time (Drew has never faced an eviction vote this season. -- Fuskie).

If Taylor had won the Final 4 Veto, she would have let Dee take the eviction vote, and Devens would be gone. She didn't trust Drew to go through with it (Dee would likely have taken out Drew, leaving Taylor facing the two Survivors. -- Fuskie).

2:30 AM BBT: Drew wonders who would have won between Devens and Dee at a Final 2 (Devens is seen as the mastermind, though Dee pulled most of the shots. Still, I think the votes might have broken down on gender lines. -- Fuskie).

Drew thinks Devens would have taken it. Dee's already won a season before, and bitter juries are always a wildcard (I don't think this Jury would have held Dee's Survivor win against her. I also don't believe this will be a bitter Jury, Angela not withstanding. -- Fuskie).

Taylor warns Drew that Devens is a strong public speaker who'll dominate any question round. He speaks professionally for a living, she reminds him. Drew recalls Ashley (BB27), delivering her Part III answers stiffly, as off a cue card. He didn't love the delivery despite her nailing the actual content (Drew comes across as someone who can organize and articulate his thoughts before an audience, so I wouldn't count him out against Devens. -- Fuskie).

Taylor says Devens is smaller in person than she expected. Drew asks if she means thinner or shorter. She thought he'd be taller. She and Dee already have plans to attend a concert together once the show wraps. Drew calls himself Vince to Taylor's Ashley. This season's Morgan is asleep in the HNR.

Drew tells Taylor Chuk was going to keep noms the same before Taylor won the Veto and saved herself. Taylor curses [Chuk], saying he barely played the game, just riding along with what he thought was the House.

Taylor gets called to the DR. Production tells her to put on makeup if she wants. She doesn't want to, but will anyway. Drew uses the opportunity to go to bed.

2:45 AM BBT: Taylor heads to the DR after cleaning up. As the only remaining woman in the House, she says to the camera, she has to represent as a lady.

---

8:00 AM BBT: FotH as the HG were woken for the traditional scripted remembrance brunch and Part II of the Final HoH comp between Devens and Dee.

3:00 PM BBT: Feeds finally return and Devens has won the Final HoH Part II comp. He is in what looks like a 16th century tunic. Drew is walking around with his shirt off as Devens and Taylor wait their DR turn at the DT. Drew changes into modern clothes and joins them.

3:15 PM BBT: Devens says his back is hurting. Taylor suggests he sleep flat on the HN bed without cushions tonight. She is also in a costume, though she did not compete. She tells Drew he did well. Yeah, he says, dejectedly. He had Devens beat in the first round, but it wasn't good enough. Taylor tells him to start working on his speech (Drew will have to appeal to either Taylor or Devens to take him to Final 2, but both Taylor and Devens had previously promised to take him of they won Final HoH. -- Fuskie).

3:30 PM BBT: Taylor changes out of her costume and climbs into her Pod BR pod. Talking to herself, she says Drew blew it evicting Dee. He's basically begging for 2nd place now (Only 5 HG have lost both Part I and Part II and gone on to win the game: Jun Song, BB4; Drew Daniel, BB5; Dan Gheesling, BB10; Jordan Lloyd; BB11; and Andy Herren, BB15. -- Fuskie).

Drew washes his hands after coming out of the WC. He brushes his hair. Devens comes out of the DR and Drew is called in next. He has to put his comp costume back on.

3:45 PM BBT: In the Pod BR, Devens comes in, and the two congratulate each other. He heads over to the HNR and tells the camera he can't believe he's doing better on Big Brother than he ever did on Survivor. He's tantalizingly close but has to keep his eye on the ball.

4:00 PM BBT: Devens asks Drew to help him map out the House history. They break it down into HoH winners, veto winners, replacement noms and everyone who made it to Zingbot. Drew tells him he's got Part III in the bag. He doesn't want Taylor to win. She's only played hard for the last 2 weeks, and they've been playing for 10 weeks (12 weeks,. -- Fuskie).

Devens tells Drew he wants to win Part 3 and take him to the Final 2. Drew is in agreement.

4:15 PM BBT: Drew eats hungrily, Taylor watching critically.

BB announces the BY is now open. Drew checks, and the garage door is still closed. Liar, he shouts.

4:25 PM BBT: Drew takes his food on the road, wondering around the House.

4:30 PM BBT: The BY door finally opens, and Drew heads straight out with his snack. He starts walking laps, collecting his thoughts. He looks up at the BY camera and asks if the live feeds are on. The camera nods yes. He begins talking through his own game for feeders.

4:45 PM BBT: Drew has been talking to live feeders, ticking off each of the HG he personally voted out out (One strategy with the Jury is to be able to explain your role evicting each and every Juror. To a lessor degree, being able to demonstrate your pre-Jury game helps too. -- Fuskie).

5:00 PM BBT: Still alone in the BY, Drew talks about his overall gameplay, distinguishing between weeks he was trying to win competitions and weeks he wasn't. He finishes his conversation, asking the camera what it thinks. He gets no response.

Devens comes outside to retrieve his laundry.

6:15 PM BBT: Devens speaks directly to Drew's parents, telling them how much he loves their son. The game got complicated at times, enough that there were moments he was ready to vote Drew out, but Drew would always do something that kept him around. He's always loved Drew, and the promises he's made were sincere. He hopes he hasn't upset them. It must be hard watching their boy on TV. He hopes he's been a positive influence on Drew, noting Drew's closer in age to his own son than to him. He thinks Jack and Drew will become friends. Jack and JuJu will be lucky to have a surrogate Big Brother big brother. He thanks them for raising Drew into the young man he's become, through every up and down of the game.

Devens addresses Barrett's family next, telling them he loves Barrett, despite having to evict him. The love hasn't changed. He tries to talk to Dee's family in Spanish, apologizing for how rough it comes out. To Chuck, Devens says Angela made him laugh and occasionally frustrated him. She's authentic and he's grateful he got to play alongside her.

6:30 PM BBT: Devens can't wait to get home and be a full-time dad again. He feels like e's on The Truman Show. He doesn't understand how he's so well. The whole experience has been like living inside the Matrix. He thinks he pulled a back muscle in Part I, warning everyone not to laugh if he looks like he's in pain getting up, since he is.

Devens is going to try cooking chicken, pasta, and garlic bread tonight. Taylor deserves a night off from cooking and Drew deserves a good meal, since he's clearly down. He gets up slowly, in real pain. He's not an old man, he tells the camera. He heard an audible pop. He doubts he'll need his back for anything else until he's home (I bet. -- Fuskie).

Devens goes to the SR for dinner supplies and doesn't the deck of card and games Production provided them. Drew helps Devens carry the supplies out of the SR since he's in visible pain and points to the cards and games. Devens hadn't noticed them.

6:45 PM BBT: Drew provides another cam talk. He loves Big Brother so much. Just imagine if he could sway the Jury with his speech alone (He still has a pretty good resume backing him up. -- Fuskie). He doesn't know how viewers see things, or whether he truly deserves to win more than Devens does.

Taylor gets called to the DR, still asleep in her pod. Production calls a second time. She stirs and says she's coming.

Drew is second guessing voting out Dee. Devens understands. He points to the floating pink flamingo. That's been his closest ally all season, he jokes. Drew smiles, reminding Devens that the floatie flipped on him more than one (If ever there was a perfect representation of the BB28 season. -- Fuskie).

7:00 PM BBT: When he, Dee, and Angela were all on the block, Devens tells Drew, Dee and Angela told him he was going home, that Barrett would break the tie to do it (I think Barrett would have sent Dee out if it had been a tie. -- Fuskie). Drew would never have let that happen. He knows he would have gone home Week 7 if he hadn't won Blockbuster. Melody and Barrett being furious about it, partly him for Mallory's eviction as well as Dee and Devens.

Devens wonders if Barrett's anger stemmed from an old scrunchie comment (No, it came from targeting Mallory, betraying the Mosh Pit, and destroying FAP. -- Fuskie).

Devens confirms Drew that Dee and Angela pushed hard for Drew's eviction that week. That he survived was ballsy in hindsight. The whole week was touch and go.

Devens assumed Drew had been throwing comps, and it frustrated them. He never threw a comp. Drew only threw the poisoned wine comp. Haley was angry with him and he ended up on the block because of it.

If Drew ends up facing Taylor, Devens tells him, he should bring up the Lyric vote and remind the Jury how out of the loop Taylor was. That's his plan if he's facing her (Taylor told Devens flipping the Lyric vote was one of her big game moves. -- Fuskie).

If Melody doesn't vote for Drew, Devens says, she's dead to him. He doesn't think she understands how many times Drew saved her game (Drew never told her, partly to hide his game play with the Icons, and perhaps partly because he never wanted her to feel indebted to him. Or maybe that's just me being a hopeless romantic. -- Fuskie).

Drew hopes Devens wins Part 3 and takes him to the end. He thinks Devens will win the Jury vote. If Taylor wins Part III, he hopes he still has the Crossovers' votes locked down. He is worried Angela would never vote for him. Devens thinks Angela's vote will likely be shaped by Dee's influence (When Angela gets a bee in her bonnet, and there isn't a fly swatter big enough to get it out. -- Fuskie)

7:15 PM BBT: Drew tells Devens about Yash throwing the Pressure Cooker veto. Taylor didn't believe him when he told her. It was a true Big Brother moment, he says. He was proud of how he finessed it. Devens figures Yash must have been truly hurting to make a deal. Drew laughs that he waited hours for Barrett to finally drop before making his move.

Devens wonders what the Dapper Dans (Drew, Devens, Barrett, Yash) had held together. Drew thinks Yash would have have taken them out. He's unsure about Part I, Yash could have taken Part II. Taylor nearly falling at the start of Part I, Devens says, then steadied herself. He felt like he was running while she was just strolling.

Drew assures Devens that Dee wasn't bad for his game. Devens says she was stubborn and wouldn't hear him out, always insisting she was right.

7:45 PM BBT: Taylor talks to Drew in the Pod BR from her pod. Barrett declared war on him and the Icons, she says, aligning himself with her, Yash, and Lala after Mallory's eviction. Yash wanted to compete in the medieval comp, so Barrett let him (Yash and LaLa were the only HG remaining to send. -- Fuskie).

8:00 PM BBT: Drew knows Taylor and Haley once had a big fight, but he didn't want to know the details, since it wasn't game-related (All fights are game-impacting, so it's best to understand the why so you can figure out how to use it. -- Fuskie). Taylor says Haley really did upset her.

Taylor wished she'd been able to compete in Part II. Drew says some of the balls in that comp were softer than others, with mismatched boards. Taylor asks if it was supposed to be mirrored. Drew explains Devens' corner had two pieces while his had three, though he doubts it made much difference. He couldn't get his ball to knock down Haley's piece.

Taylor thought he had the round locked. Drew knew all the answers; he just couldn't throw the ball. It looked like he had to physically pull the mechanism back with real force, Taylor observed. He just didn't pull hard enough. It looked truly fun to play (Based on this description, I wonder if it was like Skee Ball game, where you had to land a ball in the hole of the HG who was the answer to a question. -- Fuskie).

Devens joins Drew and Taylor, and tells them Dee and Angela were the season's biggest liars. Drew asks why. Devens doesn't know. He never saw any point to lying. Devens thinks he was the only HG who didn't speak badly about Haley. Taylor admits she did.

8:15 PM BBT: Drew says Melody fun to be around and was usually right about things. Taylor says he really hurt her game. Drew feels bad about it (To be fair, it wasn't Drew's actions that got her evicted but Dee and Devens paranoia that Drew would choose her over him. -- Fuskie).

9:00 PM BBT: The House goes quiet as the HG retreat into their thoughts.

10:30 PM BBT: Drew walks around the BY eating an apple. He rolls up his jeans and dips his feet into the HT, still alone in his head.

10:50 PM BBT: Drew makes the sign of the cross, head bowed, appearing to cry.

Devens joins Drew at the HT. Drew starts to ask Devens got cut in the comp, and FotH.

Drew tells Devens he's grateful that things have gone well for both of them at different points this season. He calls it a moment of reflection. You have to have an attitude fo gratitude, Devens replies.

11:00 PM BBT: Drew is going to savor these final days. It's their last time ever in the pool. As Final 3, Devens says, he's excited Drew will finally get to meet Becca, and he's looking forward to meeting Drew's parents.

11:00 PM BBT (cont.): Devens tells Drew that Gavin's probably jealous of Drew right now (Gavin Whitson, S38). Drew jokes that Gavin can't use The Middleman. That's his game.

Devens compliments Drew's mom. Drew jokes his parents are probably laughing at their dynamic. He wouldn't compare himself to Dr. Will and Mike Boogie, but they both pressed the button with Devens taking the money, just like that iconic duo would have (First, Boogie was arrested for stalking Will Kirby and spent time in jail as part of a plea deal, so Drew should look for a better role model. Second, it appears Devens changed his mind and revealed to Devens that he won the $10k that unleashed the Pharaoh's curse. -- Fuskie).

Devens can't do anything more to prepare for Thursday's comp. The speech itself only runs 60 seconds. Drew says he felt for a long time, he felt like he was just trying to survive the game, but now all that's left to worry about is a short speech on Thursday. Everything else is out of his hands.

Drew recounts his first day in the House, being the first one up in the morning, getting to walk the empty House alone, remembering the DR asking how it felt being a superfan living this experience. Devens says he'll likely be first up on the very last day too (Considering neither Devens nor Taylor are early risers, he's probably right. -- Fuskie).

Saying you get to play this game and getting to play it has been a dream, Drew tells Devens, who figures they'll appear in nearly every episode this season, 40 or more, probably (40 exactly, including BB: Unlocked. -- Fuskie). Drew hopes the tea party segment made the final cut. He hopes fans will search out this season whenever the Crossovers come up in conversation.

Devens wonders what happens to HG who don't make Jury. Does Production puts them up in a hotel or simply sends them home (CBS hands them a plane ticket and tells them the check is in the mail. But they do fly them back out for the Finale. -- Fuskie).

Melody told Drew that Barrett said he would be willing to vote for Taylor. Drew wants to watch the Rob Has a Podcast coverage to hear what they thought of him day by day, curious what the other side of the House called themselves. He doesn't think they ever did. Devens didn't realize they were that disorganized.

Drew says this season has been the Drew and Devens Show. Devens tells him he'll get to meet every California-based former HG. He really is a superfan of Big Brother. Devens compares him to Rizzo, who was a of (Stephen) Fishback (S19/31), who used to talk about him on his podcast, and now they're friends (It's a whole new world Drew is about to find himself in. You're not in Temecula anymore. -- Fuskie).

11:15 PM BBT: Drew was part of an alliance called The Four Seasons with Rome, Lyric, and Jason. (This was the short-lived alliance that set Angela off back in Week 2. -- Fuskie). Devens says Dee and Angela ran their own version of Four Seasons as well. Drew asks if Devens was ever part of The Nursery (Taylor, Barrett, Lyric). Devens says no, but he was in The Primaries with Taylor, Kamu, and Yash, complete with their own M&M's tradition.

Drew credits Angela with naming the Crossovers. Devens asks if that's true. Drew named The Toolshed alliance. Drew wanted an excuse to call them all tools, Devens says. It feels like a lifetime ago (The Toolshed effectively gave the Icons the numbers needed to take out Rome, Jason and Lyric, then provided cover as they dismantled The Red Corner, taking out Chuk, Kamu, and Haley. -- Fuskie).

Drew says Yash acted like he never had an alliance, framing everything as just protecting people (He never really did, not like The Crossovers, Tool Shed, or FAP. He had a magnetic personality that made the others feel like they were part of something when it suited him, though they never put a name on it. -- Fuskie).

The Red Corner was really easy to manipulate, Devens says, though Chuk and Haley less so than Kamu. Drew thinks Kamu tried to win every comp he was in. He was throwing them, but he thinks Barrett tried to win too. He asks Devens if things felt boring whenever he wasn't involved and exciting whenever he was. Devens says their side got messy because they were bored. The Toolshed dominated for a while, despite Drew never liking The Red Corner.

Drew tells Devens that the two of them were the only ones who wanted Lala gone. Lala to Angela was like Melody to him and oddly, Haley to Dee. Devens agrees that was a smart read. He doesn't like leaving people with too many options.

Taylor accused Drew of ruining their ceasefire, since the plan had been to eliminate Dee, then Drew, then Angela, in that order (Both Yash and Devens knew the ceasefire wasn't worth the paper it was written on. -- Fuskie).

Drew wonders whether Yash threw the Veto comp as promised, or if he just dropped. Devens questions whether Yash would have thrown something that close to the end of the game.

Devens he was torn between targeting Yash or taking out Drew during the DE, though ultimately it didn't matter either way (There was no chance Melody was going be responsible for Drew's eviction, even if she sometimes hated him. -- Fuskie).

Yash called Drew a dirtbag during the Pressure Cooker after he swore on his cousin Matt's life that he wouldn't vote out Taylor, and after Yash asked him to nominate the Icons instead. Drew had agreed to it, but then Yash figured out Matt wasn't real. He'd already told a story during earlier in the comp about playing soccer with a friend named Matt, and when Yash pressed for his cousin's parents' names, Drew gave the names of his real friend Matt's actual parents, Dan and Karen. Yash didn't believe any of it, demanding Drew swear on his sister Natalie instead. Yash went out during the DE shortly after, so he never had to act on the deal.

Drew says Yash asking how he could trust him, and Drew told him he was the self-proclaimed liar of the House, offering a handshake that looked like anger to the cameras. Drew didn't want to lose either Devens or Melody, despite the two of them wanting to eliminate each other.

Taylor comes outside and Devens welcomes her to the party. He wants her to teach him Mancala (and old strategic board game). They have all day tomorrow. Taylor says they'll have several tomorrows ahead. Production still won't let them sleep in, Devens predicts.

Drew asks what everyone would spend the prize money on. Devens considers a rental property, ruling out a fancy car. Taylor would pay off college debt. Devens says they're mainly focused on building retirement savings.

11:45 PM BBT: Taylor loves her career in education, despite it not paying much. She wants want to buy a home. Drew plans to pay off his parents' house and invest the remainder. Taylor says given the economy, the smart play is living comfortably rather than lavishly (The smart play is to buy low and sell never. -- Fuskie) .

Taylor says living with her parents keeps her financially comfortable enough to get her hair done and go out with friends (But she's not living lavishly. -- Fuskie). Devens and Becca have avoided upgrading their House, and a new car just raises your insurance and payments (There comes a point, however, where your house is no longer working for you, and where safety technology has left your old beater behind. -- Fuskie).

Taylor says living with her parents means she isn't broke, still able to maintain a social life. Devens says Becca prefers an older one she doesn't have to baby (Newer cars almost drive themselves, while older cars spend a lot of time in the repair shop. -- Fuskie). Taylor asks if Devens means a Toyota or Honda. Devens specifies a Toyota Sienna (Above average reliability family vehicle. Good choice. -- Fuskie).

Devens comes out of the HT. Drew asks if his back feels any better. It had already been hurting before the comp, Devens says, but he heard is back crack just getting out of his chair. He compares the sound to an old man's joints. Drew heard it too. Taylor has a friend who worked as a physical therapist at a stretching studio. She wondered why anyone would pay to be stretched until her friend invited her to try it. She says the experience was life-changing.

Taylor chooses happiness. She credits her parents, who live close enough that she can bounce from one House to the other whenever she needs space from the other parent. Devens and Becca are aligned on most things (Happy wife, happy life! -- Fuskie).

11:55 PM BBT: Devens doesn't think it's bedtime yet, pointing out it's still only 10 by his count. Drew jokes Devens is done. Taylor talks more about her upcoming high school homecoming. Her mom will probably want to stay in California, though she just wants to go home. Devens says if his kids don't come out to visit, he'll want to go straight home himself.
