Overview
- Barrett told fellow houseguests on the live feeds Tuesday that he intends to vote to evict Rick Devens if Devens remains on Drew’s renom slot.
- Devens volunteered to be the replacement nominee and is officially on Drew’s Week 8 block, leaving his only clear path to safety as winning the BB Block Buster competition.
- A group of Newbies led by Yash, Melody and either Taylor or LaLa need four votes to evict a Vet, and Barrett’s flip would supply the decisive fourth vote.
- Dee and Angela have drawn up a separate blindside plan to flip on Devens and try to mask their betrayal, a move that could clash with Barrett’s stated intention and amplify jury-management fallout.
- This season has repeatedly seen renoms lose and same-night competitions overturn HOH plans, so Thursday’s Block Buster and the eviction vote will likely determine which faction controls the late-game path.
