I don't care who wins, I'm just here for the cheap entertainment.. the cheaper, the better
This site is about the Big Brother 28 feeds and contains spoilers! It isn't necessarily thorough: it's what I catch and/or what interests me. It's about watching hamsters: who's doing what and why. Thanks for encouraging my behavior.
Your pal, dingo

Daily Feeds Recaps

Day 14 - Monday - July 20, 2026

Morning brought some minor disasters as they waited for the veto meeting. Angela Egg spilled a pile of Splenda on the times table because she couldn't see what she was doing from her egg, and the coffee maker stopped working - that would have a lot of us hitting the panic button. Mallory attempted coffee maker surgery but was unable to get it going, and Devens made a crack about how the Pipe Queen should be able to fix it. Jason and Lyric had a block party in the morning sun, looking like the junior tennis team ready for a match. It was a short-lived block party, as Devens is still planning to pull Lyric off the block, and he let her know that. He also told Mallory, and apologized for putting up her friends. And Lyric confirmed the plan to Rome when he asked, since he saw her talking with Devens. So no shockfaces today (boo) and probably no drama either, unless Jason delivers.

Ratings - Neutralized edition

Ratings are based on entertainment value, and subject to change as the week progresses

Noms count: original/renom/twist


 
Downs are here to stay unless/until they remove the ban on BBViewer. That's probably corporate's doing and not a BB decision, but we still lose no matter what the cause. Especially since a lot of staffers use BBViewer themselves. This show is not like any other and should get a little consideration.

Do you think she's aware how much she trauma-dumps on everyone? If she's got a problem, she has to tell everyone about it, and even her mundane conversations follow the same pattern, turning every topic back to herself and her life. She probably thinks she's as invested in everyone else's lives, stories, and BB experience as they are in hers, but that balance is very uneven.

I loved reading his Bluesky BB posts because they're so funny, and he shares the feedster obsession we can all relate to. So I was looking forward to him being funny on feeds, but that's not happening much.

Ups in a sympathy vote kind of way since he was last place for Diary appearances for Week 1 episodes, last place in @bigbrotherjunkie.bsky.social's combined Bluesky/Twitter popularity poll, and last place in Bluesky mentions per @bb-sentiment.bsky.social's sentiment tracker. He's not the most visible or stellar player, but he's not the worst guy in there either.

Credit for a successful HOH week, even though Ashley was no threat to anyone, but it's impressive how Dee handled everyone, and more so that she's kept such a low profile after becoming a citizen. She's like an antidote for HOH-itis and while it's not as fun for us as someone swaggering around all full of themselves, it is a much better way to play the game.

If he wasn't as known and beloved as he is, I think a lot of the fanbase would have him on their shit lists. But he is known and beloved so potential red flags don't apply.

I think it's been awhile since we had someone play a solid double agent, rat floater game. He's been doing the double agenting and rat floating, but he's already drawn a lot of suspicion and we aren't even two weeks in.

Drag queen - West Hollywood, CA (orig San Francisco, CA)

I wanted him to do well and was disappointed with his first week, and his second week launched with a screaming yelling nomination. That was great for popcorn sales but not so good for his longevity in there. However he's done well with his apology rounds and amends, and he's probably going to get another week for another chance. Unless Rome wins Block Buster, then Jason's probably gone.

They don't need to cast these types but they too often do. He's said if/when Jason does up the guys for drag night, he will sit out. I figured he thinks not participating in a (potentially) fun group activity will make him more of a man, but then he climbed into a cowboy bubble bath with two other guys, so I don't know what to think.

She's very annoying to most feedsters but I don't mind her too much? I think she is definitely smarter than she lets on - that isn't saying much(!) but she's balanced the situation of being in a showmance with the house target better than most would.

Devens is still calling her Pipe Queen a week later and that's okay, there's a lot of names to learn. I don't know if she's actually crushing on Barrett or if it just seems that way, and I wonder how and when she'll figure out he's in tight with the three vets. Until then, it's pretty funny when she bashes them so hard to Barrett.

Corporate game show host (and stand-up comic)
Maricopa, AZ (orig Thornton, CO)

She still seems to trust Drew despite hearing reasons she shouldn't from various people. She alternates between rabid gamer squirrel and cluelessly unbothered modes. Her logic is convoluted but almost effective: she talked herself off the block for awhile, with others contributing. But she didn't follow up with Devens until it was too late, and Rome did, so now she'll be staying on it. Probably. It keeps changing.

He's like a laboratory recreation of every brojock buffoon we've ever had, and that's not a short list. He can go home and post long thoughtful videos about life and love on Instagram for the adoring fans he'll inevitably have.

1st evicted - Day 10

She was an NPC at first, but many always are in the first days. She tried to get in the game when she went on the block as a renom but it was too late and she did it badly, so she's now a charter member of the not-so-illustrious first evicted club. She said she'd never had a hamburger before (how is that possible?) but now she has, so her time here wasn't a total loss.

Married, 2 kids - three-time BB veteran
Casting agent
Hoover, AL (orig Concord, NC via Las Vegas, NV)

Eliminated via volcano - Day 1

She came in dramatically after (almost) everyone else again, dressed in red again, but this time she was there for a stunt. We've had a couple other fake move-ins before - think Anthony Scaramucci on Celebs 2 or human Ainsley (Cosette Rinab) on BB26. Rachel had people going and thinking she was there as a player but no: 175 million years ago, a dinosaur carried her off and threw her into a volcano before she even got to play a comp or invent a new catchphrase.
