One thing I did pick up on during the Michael/Brittany/Alyssa conversation is that it seems like Michael/Brittany were trying to spin to Alyssa that the KKKyle stuff only started up the week before DyreFest. I'm not 100% on that, but that's sort of the impression I had at one point in that conversation.

They both were really quiet and subdued when they came out of the Have-Not room earlier. I got nothing from either of them in terms of reaction.

Michael/Brittany join them in the HOH, probably to talk-block Alyssa from potentially spilling that info, let her stew in her own thoughts about it for a little while.

I think I'm most annoyed that we really haven't seen much of Taylor or Monte processing/discussing the KKKyle disclosure from Michael/Brittany. Who the hell knows what Alyssa is thinking? Doesn't sound like she's spilling the KKKyle info to the HOH room, so maybe they got through to her a little?

Actually, I think he will be upset about it. Terrance is the one who likely won't care, IMO, especially since he's in Kyle's vile After Party alliance.

For some reason I thought she was Latina. I could be wrong though.

I don't think it matters who he saves, to be honest. If the play is to force Turner into performative allyship, then there's no good look for Turner if he nominates anyone but the other white guy in the house - and the originator of the anti-Cookout alliance plan - for the block seeing as both Terrance and Alyssa are also POC. As long as at least 3 of Michael/Monte/Brittany/Taylor are off the block on eviction night, they control the vote.

And, hopefully, Monte follows that up with "So, you feel badly about this, but not enough to save the BLACK WOMAN ON THE BLOCK over your clear #2? And you're willing to let ME, a BLACK MAN, go up on the block, if Turner isn't willing to turn on his ally, Kyle. Gotcha..." White saviorship can only go so far, ya know? Same with Turner's performative allyship... And it's not even as if Kyle isn't perfectly aware of his own racism - there's a reason he approached another white man and a white woman in the house with this plan... Yeesh. These people are all toxic. ETA - Gross. Turner & Michael are chatting and, apparently, Taylor is now Turner's target - or so he's telling Michael - and he's likely to put either Terrance or Alyssa up on the block. Soooo, bro-ing down with the Pound guys, and more than willing to put anyone but the white guy up on the block. Maybe Michael can manipulate Turner into putting Kyle up with this crazy, bad plan.

Well, I can't see Kyle spinning this well at all. But, it will succeed in making all three of them (Kyle, Michael & Brittany) look terrible. The person who benefits from this is Turner. Any way you shake this, he gets out a "big threat" this week - whether it's Monte or Kyle is irrelevant, and the focus of the rest of the HGs is probably on whomever is left of those two plus Michael & Brittany. Turner's gonna coast to at least F4 with this plan, lol.

Oh, I agree 10000000% and I said as much last week when it became apparent that's what Michael's intent was with this information. It pisses me off because it is so gross and offensively callow and cynical on his part.

Right?! From what I could gather of the tail-end of the conversation Michael/Brittany were having in the atomic bubble room... They're going to talk to Monte/Taylor first and explain why they are only just now coming forward with this information - play it that this transcends game (though the timing is awfully convenient, ain't it?). If they're receptive, then they're going to approach Alyssa and spill all. Turner is the last one they plan on talking to, based on how the rest of the conversations go, so, by process of elimination, Terrance will be told after Alyssa. They were also discussing who Michael is bringing with him to the movie prize - Alyssa is on the list and someone else (not Kyle) from the Dyrefest crew, and I think one of either Monte or Taylor as the 4th person. ETA - Kyle's whining in the bathroom to Alyssa about how he "just wants to go to the movie" and she says "you're not going". Gawd, he's such a spoilt, vile, man-child. You just know he's going to be that husband who is DYING every time he catches a common cold and needs to be waited on hand and foot by the missus.

I would be, if I were him. It's not like Monte or Taylor are comp beasts, but they're at least loyal to him & Brittany - far moreso than the other four left in the house. They'll both target Kyle next week, once he tells them about KKKyle's plans. I hadn't thought about Turner in the way you describe, but it's a very apt assessment. It could work - we'll see. If he does perform, he stands a chance of having a greater influence over every single POC left in the house.

Probably. Brittany just asked Michael if he was going to use the veto on her and he said yes, he just needs to talk to Monte & Taylor first. It sounds like he's going to use the KKKyle Whites-Only plan info with Turner and force Turner to make a decision about how he wants to look with America.

Michael is in the bathroom talking to Kyle and Brittany - he said that he fell at least 2-3 times. And he's comparing his technique for this to walking on his toes when there's ice during the winter, to keep from falling.

LOL - Kyle can't stand Joseph because he was playing a better double agent game. Jealous much there, Kyle? Also, I think this recapper is missing some context in what Kyle is saying regarding Monte - I don't think Kyle means that Monte was actually a villain, only that he allowed the other side of the house to perceive him in that way, because it benefitted the LOs for the other side to believe that Monte was the "biggest threat/target" of three successive HOHs, none of whom had any intention of going after Monte. As long as he was still there, the other side of the house perceived him as "the villain" and they were so hyper-focused on Monte that it deflected from the true LO plans. Now, I'm not sure Alyssa understands this entirely, but seeing the whole conversation and how Kyle came to say what he said would be useful. And now, I need to go shower, because I feel gross defending Kyle. Do we know if it was Zingbot? Their clothes are all pretty messy from the POV. ETA - sounds like it was slip & slide?

Yes, and Button Boy just cut away as Brittany was setting up the "secret" she and Michael have been keeping. She's definitely laying the groundwork for Michael to blow KKKyle out of the water post-veto.

LOL - for once, Kyle said something smart. Even Michael agrees, after a few seconds thought, that eating a Hot Pocket before Veto is probably not a good idea. ETA - looks like Brittany fixed a quesadilla. And now I want to order Baja Fresh for delivery, but I already did that once this week, so I probably shouldn't.

I don't. I'm fine with anyone winning veto but him. I'd rather see him go out in a blaze of glory next Thursday, blowing up Kyle's game in his "on the block" speech. That would cause the most chaos for production because they've shown NOTHING of KKKyle on the broadcasts and average viewers would be all WTF?!? Heck, I'd be down with Brittany confirming everything in her "on the block" speech and asking to be evicted because Michael's the only one who can take on KKKyle and evict his racist ass from the BB House. Now, THAT would be #TeamFeeds gold!

Except that Michael DID pretty broadly hint at Kyle's suggested all-White plan to Turner back when Kyle first started suggesting it a few weeks ago. It isn't a good look, for either of them. Though, I do think you're right that Turner probably won't care as much about it as Michael thinks he will. Turner's been only too willing to bro down this entire time - first with Pooch, then with Kyle, Joe & Monte. So, as far as Turner is concerned, he isn't the racist and he saved Taylor too.

I don't think Alyssa will throw. Not that she's all that great at competitions either, lol. By the way, the last time we discounted someone out at winning a competition, he went on a tear and dumb-lucked into HOH, then won a veto comp, so I count no one out.

Whomever is left of Michael, Monte or Taylor (and Brittany for that matter) NEEDS to break up the showmance next week, if possible. I really hate the idea that two of Terrance, Turner, Alyssa or Kyle is likely to make it to F5 - none of them deserve even that much and I want them all gone ASAP.

Timing is good for @30 Helens to be home from their trip, so perhaps we'll get what we need and a Taylor/Monte veto win. Just watch, Michael's zing is probably going to be something about him being Machiavellian - like a Michael-avellian cat master. Kyle's better be something about ten seconds - maybe that the last ten seconds of a basketball game lasts longer than he does.

I've never quite bought the notion that she was just following along with Po's Mean Girls Girls Pack and wasn't really like that, and she didn't know what was going on. She's only proving it right now.

So, basically, @30 Helens - the shit show we've had the last few days is your fault, and we can expect it to continue until your return. Who knew you had such power over the course of BB events? 🤣 Let's just hope the veto isn't played until you're home so that Taylor stands a fighting chance!!

Michael already hinted to Turner about this a few weeks ago, when Kyle was first suggesting it the week that Nicole was backdoored. I'm not sure he spelled it out explicitly, but Turner definitely didn't seem to mind, and he's not that slow on the uptake, so I think he knows (at least subconsciously).
