Season Stats

Ratings - Tea Dregs edition

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.
Won: Time Capsule 1: Six days egg HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 0   Angela Murray - 52 Instagram - TikTok Married, 4 kids, 3 grandkids - BB and TAR veteran Real estate agent Syracuse, UT (orig Long Beach, CA) She's playing way harder than she should, and she's staying up too late and losing sleep. I'm just waiting for her sleep deprivation to hit critical levels, and then we ride.	Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Barrett Pfeiffer - 27 Bluesky - Instagram - TikTok - Our Reality podcast Single - fan applicant, feedster Jumbotron engineer Austin, TX (orig Benton, AR) I'm still mourning the hilariously fun guy from last season, and wondering why he won't come back to us from that side of the screen. (I know, I get it, but I don't have to like it.)
Won: Week 1 Safety HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Chuk Anyanwu - 27 Instagram Single - recruit Supply chain analyst Dallas, TX He's still there.	Won: Nothing yet HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Dianelys "Dee" Valladares - 29 Instagram - TikTok Single - Survivor and Challenge vet Travel influencer - Miami, FL She gets around and does a few more one-on-ones than Devens, and her game strategy is kind of fascinating to watch. She either infiltrates people's confidence with compliments and ego boosts, or she plays in their face with condescension and thinly veiled insults said with a smile and a light tone. Both result in people telling her everything.
Won: Time Capsule 2: Diamond veto HOH 1 - Veto 1 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Rick Devens - 42 Twitter - Bluesky - Instagram Married, 2 kids - Survivor vet News anchor (formerly, now college comms director) Macon, GA He tells stories and goes to bed early, and has a check-in with Dee now and then. That's all he needs to do to skate to the end because they all make it so easy for him, and Dee. Most of the others would never have been cast if it wasn't a mixed vets/rookies season.	Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Drew Campbell - 22 Instagram - TikTok Single - fan applicant Surgical dental assistant Temecula, CA Rat floaters should be more entertaining. A lot more entertaining. He admitted one night he has run into that brick wall of realizing he's not the only center-of-attention type in there, but he overcompensates for it badly.
Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Haley Thogmartin - 29 Instagram Single - recruit Telemedicine exec Wildwood, MO (orig Neosho, MO) Like Kamu, she's almost past her sell-by date with me, and she'll probably be going on ignore soon with a premature empty wheel.	Won: Week 1 Safety; Week 2 Block Buster HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/1/0 - HN 1   Jason De Puy - 35 Twitter - Instagram - TikTok Pre-BB26 part 1 - part 2 - Reality press event as Ainsley Single - BB fan/pre-season test run veteran Drag queen - West Hollywood, CA (orig San Francisco, CA) The second act of the tea party was planned to break him but instead he not only survived but he shined, and the day-after teakettle strategy alerts were hilariously perfect. All I want from this week is for him to win another Block Buster.
Won: Nothing yet HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Kamuela 'Kamu' Kirk - 32 Twitter - Instagram Single - fan applicant? MMA fighter Phoenix, AZ His empty wheel will probably be here soon, and then I don't have to listen to him anymore.	Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 0   LaTrice Verrett - 57 58 Instagram Divorced, 4 kids - fan applicant, feedster Boutique sales Maplewood, NJ (orig Kankakee, IL) Just like last week, she isn't doing much about being on the block, but this time she should since she's got a bigger chance of meeting Julie on Thursday than she did last week.
Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 2/0/0 - HN 1   Lyric Medeiros - 25 Instagram - TikTok - Twitch Single - fan applicant? Attorney Honolulu, HI I have been kind of liking her again/still, but then she screamed so loud about a bug, and so many times, I'm rethinking that.	Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 2/0/0 - HN 1   Mallory Aurichio - 24 Instagram Single Rocket scientist Township of Washington, NJ Upgraded to ups for putting on a lovely tea party spread (even though Kamu shit all over it), and for joining Melody's phone-home club, and for her hilarious rant about LaLa's cooking while she was forced to sit out salmon dinner. Like Melody, she's got some good game sense but she doesn't do anything about it.
Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 1   Melody Morris - 24 Instagram - Comedy Instagram Single? - recruit? Corporate game show host (and stand-up comic) Maricopa, AZ (orig Thornton, CO) See Mallory. Both of them talk a good game but do nothing except whisper in corners. Melody's falling in more and more with smitten Drew, but he's in almost everyone's crosshairs so she'd do better to detach.	Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 1   Taylor Brown - 27 Instagram Single - fan applicant Elementary school counselor Deerfield Beach, FL I like her, she's often very funny, and she alternates between dingbat and savant when it comes to playing BB.
Won: Week 1 Block Buster HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 1   Yash Patel - 24 Instagram Single - recruit Financial analyst Monroe Township, NJ He's still there.	Won: Week 1 Safety HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 1   Jack 'Rome' Seymour - 28 Instagram - Trash Instagram Single - recruit Pickleball coach Delray Beach, FL (orig Traverse City, MI) 2nd evicted - Day 17 If you took all the brojock buffoons we've ever had and rolled them into one, you'd get a cartoon character named Jack who decided he'd rather be called Rome. He fell fast and hard for Lyric and maybe she did for him too, and he cry-sobbed for hours with no tears. He acted like he thought he was the star of the show, but his early exit indicates otherwise.
Won: Nothing HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 0   Ashley Trail - 24 Twitter - Instagram Single - applicant Bartender (and actormodel) Chicago, IL (orig Alton, IL) 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.	Won: Hot lava bath HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 0   Rachel Reilly - 41 Instagram 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.
