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: One week 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) 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.	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 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.
Won: Safety Week 1 HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Chuk Anyanwu - 27 Instagram Single - recruit Supply chain analyst Dallas, TX 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.	Won: Nothing yet HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 0   Dianelys "Dee" Valladares - 29 Instagram - TikTok Single - Survivor and Challenge vet Travel influencer - Miami, FL 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.
Won: Nothing yet HOH 1 - Veto 1 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Rick Devens - 42 Twitter - Bluesky - Instagram Married, 2 kids - Survivor vet (Former) News anchor Macon, GA 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.	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 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.
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) She's largely disliked both in there and out here (rare) so she'll probably stick around for weeks and weeks since that's how those things tend to go.	Won: Safety Week 1 HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - 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) 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.
Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Kamuela 'Kamu' Kirk - 32 Twitter - Instagram Single - fan applicant? MMA fighter Phoenix, AZ 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.	Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 0   LaTrice Verrett - 57 58 Instagram Divorced, 4 kids - fan applicant, feedster Boutique sales Maplewood, NJ (orig Kankakee, IL) Super solid ups for her very hilarious and very lengthy rant after she was woken up by loud people on Saturday night. More of that please!
Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 1   Lyric Medeiros - 25 Instagram - TikTok - Twitch Single - fan applicant? Attorney Honolulu, HI 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.	Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 0   Mallory Aurichio - 24 Instagram Single Rocket scientist Township of Washington, NJ 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.
Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 0   Melody Morris - 24 Instagram - Comedy Instagram Single? - recruit? 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.	Won: Safety Week 1 HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 1   Jack 'Rome' Seymour - 28 Instagram - Trash Instagram Single - recruit 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.
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 She sleeps more than a kitten (18 hours a day, give or take.)	Won: Week 1 Block Buster HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 0   Yash Patel - 24 Instagram Single - recruit Financial analyst Monroe Township, NJ He's still there.
Won: Nothing HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 0   Ashley Trail - 24 Twitter - Instagram Single - recruit 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.
