The new Big Brother 28 episode began with some comedy, with the narrator warning fans to “hold it” and not take a bathroom break yet. They shared a quick recap of Episode 6 (last Sunday) and then jumped into the drama.
As a reminder, Devens became the new Head of Household, and he was holding his Nomination Ceremony. But things got nutty as Jason interrupted, and Angela responded, tipping off some drama before the ceremony was over.
Devens had previously made Rome his primary target, but through a “backdoor” effort. Lyric, Melody, and Jason were nominated, but everything could change at the Veto Competition.
“You ain’t seen nothing yet,” the narrator teased.
Big Brother 28, Episode 7 recap from July 22
Devens adjourned the Nomination Ceremony, but Jason said “big liar” before Angela called for a house meeting. She called Jason a “messy, wannabe Big Brother player” as they strolled around the table. Jason and Angela went at it for a moment as everyone else watched in dismay.
The theatrics got very intense. Angela and Jason traded barbs, with Angela pointing out how Jason had played up his manipulation of her to the cameras. She also claimed “America loves me” and wanted to protect her by giving her that power.
“This is THE showdown at the Dining Table Time Machine… Humpty Dumpty vs the Green Goblin,” Barrett joked in a Diary Room session.
Devens tried to adjourn the ceremony again, only to be interrupted by Haley. She accused Jason of telling her he wanted the girls out. Devens then added that Jason had offered to spread “white lies” to keep the girls “under control” in the house.
Drew then admitted during a Diary Room session that he had been the one feeding Angela information about and from Jason.
Later, Angela turned on Rome, who had given Devens a list of who he wanted safe. That list only included Lyric, Melody, and Jason. Not Lala.
Devens gets what he wanted by blowing up Rome’s game
Devens said, “Well, that worked” during a Diary Room session. He said, “Rome will be burning” if he doesn’t win the Power of Veto.
Rome then went after Haley, calling her a “side character” and “a snarky b***h” while saying she was “unbearable” in the house.
Melody broke down crying, saying she felt she was “playing a bad game” and “sitting alone at lunch” after making many “wrong decisions” in the game.
Lyric said Devens could “not be trusted” after she got nominated. But she had to see this coming.
In a Diary Room session, Jason admitted to being “messy” and that he went too far trying to pull one over on Angela. He seemed authentic. He also cracked some jokes with Angela, and she said she would forgive him. But in a Diary Room session, she said she wouldn’t forget.
Lala was shown crying a lot about Rome not trying to protect her. She “felt stupid” and “blindsided” by all of it. Taylor suggested they both lie low for a bit.
Devens and Dee later celebrated in the HOH Room. Dee called it “the best day ever” after Rome blew up his own game.
Everything rides on the Big Brother Power of Veto
Devens selected Angela’s chip at the Veto Meeting. Barrett’s chip came out next.
Devens, Lyric, Melody, Jason, Angela, and Barrett were the Week 2 veto players.
The Veto Competition had the players trying to complete puzzles on a wall. The pieces were all different sizes, making it difficult to gauge where each piece went.
Devens won the Power of Veto. He kept the power in his own hands for the week. It appeared he only won by looking at other people’s work. But a win’s a win here, right?
Angela struggles and a fake Big Brother breakup
Angela was really struggling in the Egg Detective costume. It seems like many fans won’t have sympathy for her here.
Rome and Lyric concocted a fake breakup to save themselves. So, as part of the plan, Lyric went to flirt with other guys in the house. Some of the guys flirted right back.
It was an odd strategy. Rome also pretended he was single. Could they find a way to both stay in the house?
But Drew didn’t buy the plan.
Lyric also went to Devens to advocate for herself. She might have convinced him that she would protect him if he saved her from the block.
Drew asked Devens to save Melody (he’s working with her on the side).
