<\/a>After the last episode’s Battle of the Block competition, and Devin’s continued insistence about Brittany’s eviction, cracks started to form in the Bomb Squad. \u00c2\u00a0We first had the 4 pictured here, Zach, Cody, Christine and Derrick being the most dissatisfied with Devin’s leadership and openly talking about getting rid of Devin as soon as possible because he’s erratic. \u00c2\u00a0Glad they noticed that!<\/p>\nEVERYONE, I NEED YOUR ATTENTION!!!! \u00c2\u00a0House Meeting Time!!! \u00c2\u00a0Okay, everyone here? \u00c2\u00a0So, just to make sure that everyone’s clear, I want to talk about how best to make it in this house and in this game. \u00c2\u00a0Here’s what you do, all in one easy step: \u00c2\u00a0Ask yourself what Zach would do….and then DON’T DO THAT. \u00c2\u00a0 Alright, thanks everyone, hope you can get back to sleep. \u00c2\u00a0Just wanted to get that off my chest….hey, hey, Devin!! \u00c2\u00a0I didn’t say massage Caleb’s chest sensually! \u00c2\u00a0Okay, okay, I like where you’re going with this, continue. \u00c2\u00a0House meeting adjourned!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So we’ve got Zach doing absolutely everything wrong in one corner, whether it’s jumping off a cliff and finding himself utterly alone, trying to win Devin’s favor and failing miserably, and then offering himself up as a replacement nominee…..and then we have Brittany. \u00c2\u00a0OH SNAP. \u00c2\u00a0Brittany just conducted a masterclass in how to get out of a jam. \u00c2\u00a0It’s been clear since she was nominated by Devin that she absolutely loathes him. \u00c2\u00a0After he got fixated on her as a target for daring to speak against him, it seemed all hope was gone. \u00c2\u00a0If I had speculated in my last post about who was going home this week, I’d have sadly said Brittany. \u00c2\u00a0Then the “Zach Attack” occurred as did the conversation pictured above. \u00c2\u00a0Brittany played Devin brilliantly, appealing to his shared status as a parent and knowing that tugging at his emotions would do the trick. \u00c2\u00a0OH BOY DID IT! \u00c2\u00a0I wasn’t sure it would work…but in the DR, Devin confesses it did. \u00c2\u00a0He then rats out Paola to Brittany, informing her that Paola threw the Battle of the Block. \u00c2\u00a0OH SHIT.<\/p>\n After we got Paola’s voguing in lieu of a pleading speech, Brittany threw down and confirmed to Devin she’s not going after him and actually going after Paola. Devin then did the unimaginable (at least as of an episode ago) and took Brittany off the block and threw Zach up there. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Zach pledges revenge in the DR…..but then when the Veto music is ramping up, it cuts out as Brittany interjects that she has something to say….TO BE CONTINUED<\/strong>. \u00c2\u00a0HOLY SHIT CBS, YOU CAN’T DO THAT TO US!!!<\/p>\n So a lot of shit happened this episode! \u00c2\u00a0I de-colored Devin and Caleb’s loveline. \u00c2\u00a0It’s black for now, but I think it’ll turn pink soon again. \u00c2\u00a0\ud83d\ude42 \u00c2\u00a0Also illustrated is Zach’s perilous status as not really in the Bomb Squad anymore, although we’ll see after tonight if that is permanent or not. \u00c2\u00a0Also, we finally have a complete Team America: There it finally is! \u00c2\u00a0It’s an interesting grouping and more power to them for earning some extra $$$, but the tasks we got to vote on don’t leave me with too much hope that this will be anything too influential on the game.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a>Then we get Caleb having a flirt-session with Amber and looking adorable doing so, which gets Devin all hot and bothered. \u00c2\u00a0When will they confess their love openly? \u00c2\u00a0So while Devin is stewing in the corner accusing Amber of being dangerous, he ends up not being too far off the mark as the discussion starts happening amongst the hammock group that Brittany’s a target only because Devin is insisting on it. \u00c2\u00a0Everyone agrees that they’re sick of Devin’s dictatorship. \u00c2\u00a0Caleb tries to chat with Devin privately about changing the target to Paola instead and Devin freaks out. \u00c2\u00a0Everyone in the house is on pins and needles while Frankie dubs it the “Clash of the Not-So-Titans.” \u00c2\u00a0In the backyard after Devin gets some solo ranting done, he tells Caleb they’re done. \u00c2\u00a0SUCH DRAMA. \u00c2\u00a0Just kiss, guys, it’ll be easier.<\/p>\nThe Bomb Squad, Defused but Charred<\/h3>\n
<\/a>The next day or so, the arguing couple hashes out all the hurtful things that were said. \u00c2\u00a0Emotions run high, clothes fly off, and the lights go out….oh wait! \u00c2\u00a0What am I talking about? \u00c2\u00a0Is it hot in here? \u00c2\u00a0Okay, so clothes were getting put on during this convo, but in the end, Caleb and Devin resume their alliance and agree to have each other back, and just when things are seemingly good, Caleb reveals that he isn’t down with wanting to get rid of Devin, at all. \u00c2\u00a0<\/a>It’s all like, WhhhhaaaaAAAA? on Devin’s part at that comment. \u00c2\u00a0Oh, stupid, sweet, stupid Caleb. \u00c2\u00a0You had to have known that was stupid, right? \u00c2\u00a0Or maybe it’s cunning strategy. \u00c2\u00a0So then another Devin-hosted Bomb Squad meeting is thrown, and when Caleb’s confession is laid out, the only fool who pipes up is Zach. \u00c2\u00a0Sweet, obnoxious, Zach, what in the HELL do you think you’re doing?<\/p>\n<\/a>So yeah, Zach becomes public enemy #1 to Devin. \u00c2\u00a0Frankie tries to explain to Zach just how stupid that whole moment was, as you just do NOT tell crazy people things that are the truth as crazy people don’t want to hear the truth. \u00c2\u00a0It’s terrible gameplay. \u00c2\u00a0 Zach is in way over his head in this situation he’s gotten himself into, confessing to us in the DR that he has no clue what to do. \u00c2\u00a0It’s obvious he doesn’t as even when he tries to smooth things over with Devin, Devin isn’t having one bit of it. \u00c2\u00a0Even worse, Zach decides that he’ll offer himself up as a replacement nominee at the Power of Veto ceremony if need be to make Devin feel better.<\/p>\nHobie’s Calling a House Meeting<\/h3>\n
Power of Veto Competition Time<\/h3>\n
<\/a> <\/a>We’re getting a lot of repeat challenges in this front part of the season, but at least they’re really going for it with regards to set design! \u00c2\u00a0Here’s the challenge where you have to balance all 10 items (planets named after previous alliances in this case) at once on this wobbly mobile. \u00c2\u00a0It’s a challenging task and requires patience – Derrick almost wins this one but to everyone’s dismay, Devin handily beats them all. \u00c2\u00a0Not even sure Paola was aware of having to actually compete.<\/p>\nThe Post-Veto Wonder of Brittany<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nPower of Veto Ceremony: Zach’s Folly<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Larry mentioned last night that Devin really wasn’t too wrong about Brittany in the first place. \u00c2\u00a0She really is a threat and should be targeted over Paola. \u00c2\u00a0Sure, Paola is a Grade-A Idiot, but she’s basically harmless. \u00c2\u00a0Probably annoying as fuck, but still not a threat to your game. \u00c2\u00a0So for the rest of the Bomb Squad to decide Paola is worth splintering over is pretty insane. \u00c2\u00a0 I can’t argue with that logic and think Devin has made a terrible mistake in keeping Brittany. \u00c2\u00a0I love the decision for my own entertainment as I just think Devin’s bound to be out pre-jury; I just can’t wait to see who is responsible for it.<\/p>\nStatus and Standings:<\/h3>\n
