BB28 Sunday Nominations Ep Recap, Week 2
Also available on YouTube.
Big Brother 28’s alliances get pushed to the edge as chaos strikes after the latest HoH shakes up the game. Rob Cesternino, Taran Armstrong, David Bloomberg, and AJ Norris team up for a Sunday recap packed with strategy talk and messy house moments.
Rick Devens wins HoH and, true to his Survivor roots, isn’t content to play it safe. With back-channeling and fiery DRs, the panel goes deep on Devens’ flashy nominations: Melody, Lyric, and Jason end up on the block, sending house loyalties scrambling. Angela’s influence comes into focus—AJ thinks her manipulation steers Devens’ HoH move, making messy, fun TV but also suiting his game. The group debates whether Melody’s “betrayal” in the HoH pairs comp really put her on the block, calling out a key production reshoot missing from the episode edit. Rome’s misstep in naming too many allies to Devens becomes a lesson in bad negotiation. Meanwhile, Angela relishes her “showman” reputation, as her alliance gobbles up power and DR camera time, all while sporting the classic egg costume after winning the BB Time Capsule twist.
AJ spotlights Angela’s clever handling of Rick Devens, speculating her persuasion shapes the “big move” nominations.Taran explains how Melody’s switch in the HoH partner comp, due to a production reshoot, directly affects Devens’ nominations—though the TV edit skips this.David breaks down Rome’s negotiation blunder, noting you should never name your full alliance to an HoH.The group debates if Haley or Devens threw the final comp round, dissecting how throws and optics can reshape house perception.Jason’s reaction to not winning the BB Time Capsule sparks laughs, with Taran suggesting his self-pity is extra performative.With the house lines drawn and finger-pointing on the rise, power seems fragile, Angela, Rick Devens, and Dee hold sway, but are lines about to shift again? Will Rick’s chaotic HoH pay off, or did Angela’s push for drama set up more trouble ahead?
Catch the full episode for every alliance shake-up, messy DR moment, and insight into what could happen next in the Big Brother 28 house!

BB28 Sunday Live Feed Update July 19, 2026
Also available on YouTube.
Big Brother 28 is full steam ahead, with power players jockeying for position as alliances shift and a major backdoor plan comes together. Host Taran Armstrong welcomes Mary Kwiatkowski for a live feed recap, breaking down Day 12’s game-changing Veto competition, shifting votes, and sneaky house dynamics.
Devens wins both HoH and Veto this week, setting the stage for an early backdoor target: Rome. The plan depends on the Veto draw, but with Rome not selected to play, the door is wide open for a dramatic renaming, with Angela and Barrett playing instead. Social gameplay gets messy as Lyric and Rome pretend to break up and Lyric flirts with others to stay. Meanwhile, Melody gives herself a pep talk—though it doesn’t translate into a Veto win. The house debates who to pull off the block, with players like Kamu pitching Melody as a better strategic save than Lyric, while Angela and Dee push for Lyric instead. Plots and loyalties swirl as even alliances like the Toolshed and Handymen get layered with inside jokes, hidden agendas, and shifting allegiances.
Mary points out the strategic benefit of backdooring early, when there are more potential Veto players to insulate the plan.A misstep in the Veto comp costs Jason a win, letting Devens secure both HoH and Veto and raising his threat level.Players debate saving Lyric or Melody from the block, with Lyric’s social maneuvers swiftly winning over Dee, Chuk, and Haley—a move Mary questions for its long-term logic.Melody impresses Kamu by subtly confirming that the Lyric-Rome breakup is fake and offering strategic partnership, shifting some votes to her side.Angela, Dee, and Devens consider the risk of strengthening showmances or weakening Drew by leaving Melody on the block.As alliances wobble and competing agendas collide, the house must decide: does taking Lyric or Melody off the block make the most sense for the majority? How will these moves shape the next wave of targets? Tune in for the full update and see how the Veto fallout shakes up Big Brother 28!

BB28 Saturday Live Feed Update July 18, 2026
Also available on YouTube.
Big Brother 28 is full of chaos as alliances redraw and trust breaks in dramatic fashion. Host Taran Armstrong teams up with guest Matt Liguori for a live feed recap, diving into day 11’s fallout after nominations, secret meetings, and emotional confrontations rock the house.
Devens is HoH and triggers a power shift by considering a big move against Rome, with Angela fueling talk of a backdoor plan. The Tool Shed alliance forms after a major group meeting, intentionally locking out Rome, Jason, and Lyric, who quickly realize they’re on the outs. The day sees Drew and Barrett, supposed moles, try to keep both sides appeased while houseguests debate who’s really loyal to whom. Nominations land on Jason, Lyric, and Melody, sparking breakdowns (including a tearful Lala and a “messy bitch” exchange between Jason and Angela, with Angela in an egg costume after failing the time capsule comp). Strategic conversations shift as Melody scrambles to survive, alliances wobble, and Rome’s emotional apology tour continues, punctuated by heated arguments and even barking.
Taran highlights the Tool Shed alliance meeting and its effect on Rome, Jason, and Lyric’s sense of isolation.Matt points out Rome’s “apology tour” and the sleep deprivation that might fuel his decision-making and outbursts.Devens as HoH, with Angela’s failed time capsule power, shifts worries about the vets’ control and gives outsiders hope.Melody, seeing no loyalty from her former group, works angles with Drew and Devens, opening the door for a flip.Wild nomination ceremony drama: Angela’s egg costume, Jason’s outbursts, and constant house sobbing keep emotions high.Power stays shaky as alliances test each other’s loyalty and houseguests scramble to survive. Will anyone manage to flip the vote, or is the majority too strong with Devens and Angela running the show? Tune in for the full live feed update and all the details behind this wild BB28 day.

BB28 Why ___ Lost Week 1
Click HERE to watch on YouTube.
As of Tuesday, Ashley was safe. By Wednesday, that had completely flipped. What happened?? Ashley claimed, “I’m here to play.” But was she? She said in one interview, “I would hope that first week you don’t do completely anything wrong if you’re voted out.” But the person who’s voted out first usually does indeed do things completely wrong. Did that apply to her? David Bloomberg and Chappell are here with all the answers – plus their regular segment on what Julie was wrong about and more! At RHAP, we know Big Brother, and we know Why Ashley Lost.

BB28 Friday Live Feed Update July 17, 2026
Watch this podcast on YouTube!
Big Brother 28 sees the house dividing as new alliances form and big moves get set in motion. Host Taran Armstrong delivers a detailed recap for the live feed update on July 17, joined by Pooya as a guest. The core tension focuses on Devens as the new Head of Household and the fallout from Ashley’s unanimous eviction, creating a dramatic divide as groups scramble for power.
Devens wins HOH following Ashley’s eviction and immediately signals he wants to avoid nominating previous blockmates, shaking up the standard “easy nominees” approach. The plan quickly pivots as Angela pushes for a bolder move—suggesting Rome or Jason as targets instead of melody—and a power alliance solidifies under the name “Tool Shed.” Strategy talk explodes in the HOH suite, with almost everyone but Barrett plotting a potential backdoor, side deals, and how to manage the rapid rise of house powers. Meanwhile, Rome scrambles to protect Lyric, but Devens only guarantees Rome’s own safety, not Lyric’s. The new big alliance forms, but the process gets messy, and the other side starts to catch on after a failed attempt at subtlety.
Devens decides not to put up anyone who’s already faced the block, a rare move noted by Taran Armstrong.Angela advocates for a Rome (or Jason) backdoor, fueling Devens’ appetite for making a splash, as discussed live.Drew introduces “Tool Shed” as the new alliance name, with secret late-night alliance-building in the HOH room.Rome attempts to save Lyric by revealing the “Four Seasons” alliance, but unintentionally exposes his side’s numbers.Barrett, Dee, Drew, Angela, Kamu, and others debate the risks, powers, and math behind the nominations and alliances, reflecting on who may flip when the dust settles.Now that the Tool Shed alliance is drawing battle lines, will Devens’ bold approach and Angela’s push for a showy target keep their numbers strong—or set off the kind of chaos that turns the house upside down? Tune in to hear the crew break down every maneuver and what it means for the next big BB28 showdown.

BB28 Thursday Live Feed Update July 16, 2026
Big Brother 28 is full of chaos as alliances scramble and plans shift in the lead-up to eviction night. In this live feed update recap, hosts Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong break down the biggest drama from Day 9 in the house. All eyes are on the showmances and side swaps as the campaign to keep Ashley spirals out of control—threatening to expose big alliances and leave players stranded.
The episode dives into the fallout from Dee’s HoH reign and the messy aftermath of her nominations, with Mallory securing the Veto and Ashley becoming the replacement. The push from key players like Drew, Barrett, and Dee to save Ashley quickly turns into chaos when Ashley’s campaigning exposes the major voting bloc known as the “Red Cross” (crossovers and Red Corner). Ashley’s confusion and eagerness to please lead her to name names and pitch to everyone, scaring off swing votes like Melody and Lyric and setting off a wave of distrust. Meanwhile, Drew and Barrett try to play the middle, but get exposed as indecisive when pressed for loyalty by their alliance members. Rome continues to shape the house mood with his casual yet influential gameplay, and Dee struggles with how to handle potential tie-breaker votes.
Ashley’s indiscreet campaigning unintentionally exposes Drew, Barrett, and Dee’s alliance, shifting the house’s focus against her.Melody and Lyric’s worries about “sides” in the house cause them to reconsider keeping Ashley, changing the vote math.Drew and Barrett get caught between alliances, forced to publicly commit on eviction plans after being pushed by Melody.Dee’s reluctance to break a tie against Taylor shows strategic hesitation and raises questions about her loyalty.Rome’s laid-back approach keeps him influential, while Devens makes key moves convincing others that targeting Ashley poses less risk.With alliances exposed and the house split, players now wonder if cutting Ashley keeps the peace or just sets up the next big battle. Can Dee and her allies recover from the messy vote math, or will another alliance take control next week? Tune in to hear the full day’s drama and where the game might go from here.

New Patron Show: BB Mailbag
Big Brother 28 gets a fresh twist this week as power players and underdogs scramble for control in a complicated house dynamic. Hosts Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong launch a BB mailbag episode, inviting analysis of everyone’s win equity and the outlook for this season’s alliances, nominations, and social shifts.
This episode dives deep into updated odds for each houseguest to win, using a percentage-based model that tracks shifting fortunes throughout the game. HoH, Veto wins, and the blockbuster competition play key roles in shaping who’s safe and who’s on the ropes. Early game alliances form between returnees like Angela, Barrett, and Devens, while new players like Kamu, Lyric, and Mallory try to build their own networks. Social strategy is a hot topic, with discussions on how houseguests navigate first-week nominations, campaign their way off the block, and respond to the ever-changing structure created by new comps like the blockbuster and AI arena twists.
Taran Armstrong explains how Dee and Devens work the middle, balancing fake and real alliances, but warns there’s a risk when both sides realize they’re being played.The hosts debate whether being saved by the blockbuster or by votes actually offers the best path forward for block nominees.Win equity estimates show Dee, Devens, and Barrett leading the pack, but with most pre-jury odds still in the single digits.Social dynamics become less toxic as new comp mechanics let block nominees keep hope alive—and keep alliances flexible.The blockbuster and evolving game structure mean even under-the-radar players like Ashley, Taylor, or Yash could flip the house around with the right comp win.The power structure is far from settled, with alliances, threats, and comp results changing day to day. Will Dee and Devens keep their tight grip, or is a big shakeup coming if ‘outsiders’ band together against the returnees? Tune in for the full strategic breakdown.

Dee takes the reins as the current Head of Household, having nominated Mallory, Taylor, and Yash. After Mallory secures the Veto and saves herself, Dee puts Ashley up as a replacement. The eviction target is in constant flux, with Ashley unexpectedly drawing attention as a potential eviction, even though she started as a pawn. The vote still threatens to become split, with houseguests aligning and realigning at every turn. Notably, paranoia is running high, fueled by rumors of a supposed gym alliance meeting and by shifting alliances like the “crossovers” (Dee, Devens, Angela, Drew, Barrett) and Red Corner adding and dropping allies as trust wavers.
Dee and Barrett’s growing closeness could shift both their positions in the alliance structure, and AJ points out this pairing is raising suspicions across the house.Drew is playing with fire, gathering and leaking information to multiple groups—a tactic Taran describes as risky and likely unsustainable.Angela’s paranoia over a rumored alliance meeting in the gym cascades into major strategy shifts, sparking the crossovers to rethink their priorities and solidify keeping Ashley over Taylor or Yash.AJ highlights how some houseguests (like Kamu and Haley) capitalize on this paranoia to forge a Red Corner/crossovers hybrid, quietly uniting the numbers against floating targets.A funny moment: Taylor accidentally drops a tray of champagne glasses in the dark before a birthday celebration, bringing some comic relief to a tense day.The conversation focused on whether the newly formed hybrid alliance will stick together and if Taylor or Yash will find a lifeline in the shifting sands—or if Dee’s group has finally learned how to pull house votes from behind the scenes. Will these power brokers make the right call, or are they headed for disaster as eviction approaches?
Tune in for the full recap and see who’s shaping up as a BB28 kingpin—or a casualty.

Emily Flippen Talks Big Brother 28
Big Brother 28 is stirring as the line between the returnees and new houseguests becomes impossible to ignore. Host Rob Cesternino sits down with guest Emily Flippin for a lively recap, diving into the tense social dynamics and early power plays shaping the house this season.
Emily shares her thoughts on the first HoH, Dee, and what it means for the game that both Dee and Devens are already aligned, calling them loyal allies likely to ride together unless the rest of the house catches on. The episode covers Dee’s challenging nominations, the “crossovers” alliance including Barrett and Drew, and Angela’s unique place as a returning Big Brother player. Socially, early showmances like Rome and Lyric are discussed as both distractions and potential targets, while new players like Kamu and Yash are evaluated for their low-key strategies and risk of becoming pawns. Emily also points out how the returning trio, by joining forces, paints a huge target that the newer houseguests—especially Jason—are eager to call out, even if it means putting their own games at risk.
Emily says Dee and Devens are fiercely loyal and will stick together unless the house forces them apart.Jason’s push against the vets draws attention but might endanger his game, as Emily explains.Angela may be a “loose cannon” in the alliance, with Dee and Devens weighing their long-term trust in her.Barrett and Drew are playing the superfan game, but Emily wonders if they’ll flip on the vets when the time is right.Emily notes Kamu’s under-radar social game could set him up to survive mid-game power flips.With the returnees united but in the spotlight and alliances forming fast, the season’s power could shift at any moment. Will the new houseguests rally to target Dee, Devens, and Angela, or will divided loyalties give the trio room to run? Listen in for the full scoop and all the behind-the-scenes details you won’t want to miss.

BB28 Monday Live Feed Update July 13, 2026
Big Brother 28 brings big moves as alliances shift and eviction plans pick up steam. Host Taran, joined by Brian Scally, recaps day six in the house on this Live Feed Update. The tension is high as HoH Dee has to pick a replacement after Mallory wins Veto, and the house scrambles to figure out where the votes will land.
Dee first nominates Mallory, Taylor, and Yash, but when Mallory wins Veto, Dee leans towards putting up Ashley as the replacement. The reasoning centers around the original premiere challenge groups, but there’s plenty of pushback and debate about which nominee should actually go. Taylor works the house aggressively for promises and support, while Ashley becomes more active in her gameplay after being warned she’ll likely hit the block. The vets and their close allies—the “crossovers”—focus on making “parachute” alliances by picking non-vets to be their public allies and decoys, while new groups like Mama’s Angels (Rome, Jason, LaTrice) form on the opposite side. In the middle, Kamu and Chuk are strategizing how to keep shields in place and manage the gender numbers.
Taran points out Taylor’s direct approach in locking up votes and how it could backfire or cement her status.Drew pitches the parachute strategy, getting Barrett to link with Mallory as a public duo.Dee shares her dislike for Haley and takes a risk by leaking info to Rome, which could expose her.Jason keeps pushing the anti-vet agenda and questions production’s edit, hoping to swing others his way.The target keeps moving between Taylor, Ashley, and Yash as alliances and motives shift throughout the day.With the replacement nominee still pending and red corner alliances disagreeing about who to evict, can Dee’s crew keep control or will the power start to slip? Catch the full breakdown to hear exactly how the game is shifting in the Big Brother 28 house.

BB28 Roundtable Week 1
Each Monday night, Taran Armstrong (@ArmstrongTaran) and Melissa Deni (@itsmelissaaa) will be joined by a rotating guest to discuss the past week in Big Brother 28. After running down all of the latest advancements, they’ll rate and rank the houseguests to update the weekly Stockwatch.
Big Brother 28 opens with the house trying to figure out who to trust, as alliances shift and the first nominations set the stage for early drama. On this Round Table episode, Taran Armstrong and Melissa Deni are joined by Aysha Welch (Survivor 47, Perfect Match Podcast) as they break down Week 1 moves, shifting social ties, and the chaos of a crowded house.
The team recaps Dee Valladares’s first HOH reign, discussing how Dee nominates Mallory Aurichio, Taylor Brown, and Yash Patel, before Mallory wins Veto and saves herself, leading Ashley Trail to be named the replacement nominee. The hosts explore the strategy behind Dee’s picks, noting her goal of choosing nominees from each competition group to keep heat off herself. The Crossovers alliance (Angela Murray, Barrett Pfeiffer, Drew Campbell, Rick Devens, and Dee) dominates popularity polls, while smaller alliances and connections, like the showmance between Rome Seymour and Lyric Medeiros, offer possible shakeups. Tensions spark when Angela Murray’s distrust of Jason De Puy grows due to leaked information, putting alliance unity to the test.

BB28 Sunday Nominations Ep Recap, Week 1
Big Brother 28 is off to a fast and strategic start as the house settles into the tension between returning players and new faces. Rob Cesternino is joined by Taran Armstrong, Aman Adwin, and Mary Kwiatkowski for this recap episode, where they break down all the major alliances, competitions, and social shakeups from the first big weekend in the house.
The panel digs into how HOH Dee Valladares sets the tone by nominating Yash Patel, Taylor Brown, and Mallory Aurichio, with Ashley Trail joining them as a pawn after Mallory grabs the Veto. Much of the discussion centers on the “crossovers” alliance led by returnees Dee, Rick Devens, and Angela Murray, who recruit Drew Campbell and Barrett Pfeiffer to their tight five. Meanwhile, the “red corner” group, Kamuela “Kamu” Kirk, Haley Thogmartin, and Chuk Anyanwu, believe they’re running the game, showing just how layered and secretive this season’s gameplay is becoming.
Taran compares how early-game alliances can change quickly and how being brought in last isn’t always fatal in Big Brother.Aman highlights Dee’s strategy of overlapping alliances and how Rick Devens’s openness with information could make him a wildcard.Mary dives into Chuk’s awkward gender-based pitch to Haley and the “fun fact” segment about Ashley never eating a burger.The panel discusses how Jason De Puy is quietly rallying an anti-vet group, but wonders if the newbies will rally before the vets take control.As alliances form and information spreads, will the new players wake up to the quiet steamroll forming, or are the returnees set for a smooth ride?

BB28 Saturday Live Feed Update July 11, 2026
Big Brother 28 kicks off with alliances taking shape and uncertainty swirling around the first nominations. Host Taran Armstrong delivers a detailed recap in this first Live Feed Update of the season, walking through the opening days on the live feeds as Dee Valladares takes the first HoH, immediately putting the spotlight on house social divides and rookie gameplay.
The episode dives into how Dee Valladares earned HoH and nominated Taylor Brown, Mallory Aurichio, and Yash Patel, highlighting the fallout among houseguests. Dee spreads out the risk by nominating one person from each original team. The house’s shifting sand becomes more obvious as alliances begin to form but remain unclear, and players like Haley Thogmartin and Kamuela “Kamu” Kirk face suspicion for spending lots of time in the HoH room. Mallory Aurichio emerges as a likely target according to some, while Yash Patel and Taylor Brown look to keep safe by playing under the radar. The trio of Mallory, Melody Morris, and Lyric Medeiros is flagged as a potential threat, while Melody quickly distances herself from Mallory to avoid becoming a target herself. Social capital and perception already play big roles, with players like Barrett Pfeiffer, Angela Murray, and Drew Campbell sitting in strong but subtle positions, while Rome Seymour and Lyric Medeiros spark the season’s first showmance.
