Season Stats

Ratings - Three. Words. 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; Week 6 Block Buster HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 2/0/0 - HN 1   Angela Murray - 52 53 Instagram - TikTok Married, 4 kids, 3 grandkids - BB and TAR veteran Real estate agent Syracuse, UT (orig Long Beach, CA) Hypocritical. Vindictive. Ludicrous.	Won: Nothing yet HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 2   Barrett Pfeiffer - 27 Bluesky - Instagram - TikTok - Our Reality podcast Single - fan applicant, feedster Jumbotron engineer Austin, TX (orig Benton, AR) Patient. Understated. Tact.
Won: Time Capsule 3: BB Bribe, paid to Yash HOH 2 - Veto 0 - Noms 2/0/0 - HN 2   Dianelys "Dee" Valladares - 29 Instagram - TikTok Single - Survivor and Challenge vet Travel influencer - Miami, FL Entitlement. Calculating. Bitter.	Won: Time Capsule 2: Diamond veto; Week 8 Block Buster HOH 1 - Veto 1 - Noms 1/1/0 - HN 2   Rick Devens - 42 Twitter - Bluesky - Instagram Married, 2 kids - Survivor vet News anchor (formerly, now college comms director) Macon, GA Amiable. Approachable. Irritable.
Won: Weeks 4, 7 Block Buster; Time Capsule 6: Never-not Pass HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 2/0/0 - HN 2   Drew Campbell - 22 Instagram - TikTok Single - fan applicant Surgical dental assistant Temecula, CA Arrogant. Incorrect. Twerp.	Won: Time Capsule 5: 24 hours Lady of the Latrine; 2 days Adam Eve and Eve with Mallory HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 2/0/0 - HN 2   Melody Morris - 24 Instagram - Comedy Instagram Single? - recruit? Corporate game show host (and stand-up comic) Maricopa, AZ (orig Thornton, CO) Unprepared. Coaster. Overcompensating.
Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 4/0/0 - HN 3   Taylor Brown - 27 Instagram Single - fan applicant Elementary school counselor Deerfield Beach, FL Observant. Aware. Entertaining.	Won: $5,000 (Dee's BB Bribe); Week 1 Block Buster HOH 1 - Veto 3 - Noms 2/0/0 - HN 1   Yash Patel - 24 Instagram Single - recruit Financial analyst Monroe Township, NJ Adept. Capable. Amusing.
Won: Nothing yet HOH 1 - Veto 1 - Noms 3/0/0 - HN 2   LaTrice Verrett - 57 58 Instagram Divorced, 4 kids - fan applicant, feedster Boutique sales Maplewood, NJ (orig Kankakee, IL) 1st juror - 9th evicted - Day 59 She won the wall comp at 58 years old and it wasn't a ten-minute one, and she won a physical veto - yes booty-scooty and tonguing a stick is physical. One night early season, several were loud and woke her up and her rant about that, mostly to herself and us, was hilarious, as were her rants about them being slobs. But unfortunately that resulted in people telling her how to behave, with some microaggressions included. She cooked and cleaned for them all, which most took for granted. She tried to incite a rookies revolution against the three vets but it failed because suck-ups kept sucking up, but it finally kicked in the day after her eviction when Barrett put all three on the block. She cried a lot but usually with cause, and she was equally fun and lively, and I wish her only the best.	Won: Week 5 Block Buster HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 2/0/0 - HN 1   Haley Thogmartin - 29 Instagram - new Instagram Single - recruit Telemedicine exec Wildwood, MO (orig Neosho, MO) 8th evicted - Day 52/53 She was in no danger for weeks but continually complained about what a rough time she had. Then she got blindsided on her HOH in Week 4, and went from there to the block, but she won the Block Buster and saved herself. Still complaining. She was extremely self-centered, and said people were scared of her and her tattoos, and she was a total malcontent most of the time. Things actually did get bad when she lost one medieval mini comp after another and was eliminated without a vote. That was wrong when it was Rachel and it's still wrong, but the reaction wasn't so loud for Haley. She made a lot of rude comments, especially about LaLa, and she had a number of victim-offs with Angela but they ended up mostly friendly. She's keeping face mask and cheek flap makers in business.
Won: Time Capsule 4: 2 days Adam Eve and Eve, with Melody; Week 3 Block Buster HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 2/1/0 - HN 2   Mallory Aurichio - 24 Instagram Single Rocket scientist Township of Washington, NJ 7th evicted - Day 52 She was the latest to fill the 'quirky girl' casting slot and she did it well. She won the first veto, saving herself and earning the nickname Pipe Queen which stuck, thanks to Devens who couldn't remember her name at the time, and she saved herself again with the Blockbuster Block Buster. She didn't do much else game-wise, but she won a Time Capsule vote and ended up being Eve for a couple days with Melody. She cried, moped, hibernated, and threw tantrums when things didn't go her way but she was a good activities director. She planned the infamous tea party that made tea kettles Jason's weapon of choice, and she took big groups on imaginative but loud and screamy bus tours and plane rides. Her train ride has been postponed indefinitely.	Won: Nothing HOH 1 - Veto 1 - Noms 0/0/1 - HN 2   Kamuela 'Kamu' Kirk - 32 Twitter - Instagram Single - fan applicant? MMA fighter Phoenix, AZ 6th evicted - Day 45 I haven't given anyone a premature empty wheel for a few seasons but this guy got one for being generally despicable and not saying anything I wanted to hear. Unfortunately for me, he was pretty good at playing the game of BB so I had to pay a little attention, but I'm glad he went out pre-jury and I never have to hear from him again, or look at his scalloped-edge underwire tattoos.
Won: Week 1 Safety HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 2   Chuk Anyanwu - 27 Instagram Single - recruit Supply chain analyst Dallas, TX 5th evicted - Day 38 He said he left for the show before learning if his time-off request at work was approved or not, and that he learned about BB from ChatGPT. He was mostly an NPC for the first weeks, a non-playing character who was randomly activated to say some lines which were generally out of context, and often completely non-sensical. He usually didn't know what was going on around him, but that gave us a bonus of multiple shockfaces. He was tight with Haley and Kamu but nobody else, and when Kamu jumped off that sinking ship, Chuk was stapled to Haley. That's about all there is to say. He'll probably get other shows, and get called back here for all-stars.	Won: Nothing HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 2/1/0 - HN 1   Lyric Medeiros - 25 Instagram - TikTok - Twitch Single - applicant to other shows Attorney Honolulu, HI 4th evicted - Day 31 She started out a two-trick pony between her dad's 80s hit and her education credentials, but she soon branched out to showmancer deluxe. She and Rome got into it faster than most and were smackier than some, but it didn't last long before she was on her own. She might have been a good player but she promised too much to too many and when those notes were compared, she was toast. She won the bowlerina-esque veto to save herself, and her eviction ended up being a pivotal moment and game-changer, but not because of anything she did. She was fun when she got goony and I found her mostly likeable, especially when she talked normally, but the babygirl voice got her results more than it should have.
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) 3rd evicted - Day 24 He wasn't grouped with the other reality vets and he downplayed Salina's celebrity, and I respect that he did this as Jason without the built-in advantages of being a known entity. But he messed up the first week when he announced he wanted to go after those three, and it got back to them while they were in power. He compounded that when he admitted to several that his sincere-sounding bond with Angela was fake, and that got back to her. But it all resulted in a hilariously explosive noms ceremony, and he topped that with his teakettle-clanging after Kamu attacked him at Mallory's tea party. Yes he was a messy bitch but he was also genuine, vulnerable, funny, and easily my star of the season.	Won: Week 1 Safety HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 1   Jack 'Rome' Seymour - 28 Twitter - 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.
