12:00am BBT  Angela and Kenney chatted about a recent earthquake in Utah, a stark contrast to the strategic maneuvering happening elsewhere.

 

In the kitchen, goodbyes were exchanged as Cam headed to bed. Meanwhile, in the bathroom, a conversation revealed Angela's initial alliance picks. She included Cam, Chelsie, Leah, Quinn, and Cedric, leaving out T'kor but assuring her safety. Joseph, acting as Angela's right-hand man, relayed information about Matt claiming Angela would choose him for the veto (a claim Angela vehemently denied).

 

Nominations loomed large, and Angela pondered her options. Lisa, Kenney, and Kimo (as a potential pawn) were all on the table. Joseph's approval fueled her confidence in this strategy. However, Joseph cautioned Angela against being perceived as a superfan.

 

Angela then expanded her alliance vision, proposing to include Brooklyn, Rubina, and Cedric while excluding Tucker and Kenney. This sparked a conversation between Matt and Quinn in the storage room. Matt revealed Angela's assurance of his safety, raising suspicion if he were nominated. They discussed potential nominees like T'kor and the importance of securing allies like Kenney and Cam.

 

The conversation took a surprising turn when Matt proposed a final three alliance with Leah and Makensy, suggesting they manipulate the situation by pinning the blame on Angela (Mama). Their target list shifted to T'kor, Kimo, and Lisa, with varying levels of preference between Matt and Quinn.

 

Meanwhile, in another corner of the house, Chelsie expressed her desire to work with Matt and Quinn. Transparency became a theme as Angela declared her intention to be open with her core alliance of nine. Cedric, eager to solidify his position, planned to speak with Angela, emphasizing the potential of their larger alliance.

 

Paranoia crept in for Angela late at night. She worried about potential alliances forming against her, particularly with the "stronger players" like Matt, Tucker, and Makensy.

 

Across the house, a different alliance was taking shape. The have-nots (Leah, Matt, Quinn, Chelsie, and Makensy) gathered in the storage room, vowing to stick together and vote as a unit. Humor mixed with strategy as they bonded over "bubble guts" and a shared distrust of Angela.

 

Matt further solidified his position by revealing Tucker's attempt at a final two deal, adding to the web of distrust and shifting alliances as the first week of Big Brother came to a close.

 

1:00am BBT Cedric's trip to the storage room for a late-night apple snack sparked a conversation about alliances. Makensy, ever the strategist, proposed an "alternate alliance" with Kenney and Tucker, keeping them on the outside while the core group of seven remained in power.

 

Meanwhile, in the HOH room, anxieties swirled. Angela confided in Joseph and Chelsie about her suspicions that Matt was rallying people against her. She revealed a deliberate act of leaving her cup downstairs to observe the have-nots, further fueling her unease.

 

Across the hall, the have-nots were oblivious. Chelsie reassured Angela that she downplayed their conversation, keeping the HOH in the dark about their alliance. Angela, however, remained cautious, recognizing the potential suspicion a late-night meeting in the storage room could raise.

 

A lighter moment arrived when Angela shared a story about her homemade tattoo, a testament to her playful spirit. Back in the have-not room, Brooklyn reassured Leah of her loyalty, which indirectly strengthened the alliance with Matt and Makensy.

 

As the night wore on, exhaustion set in. Angela doled out hugs, but her generosity had its limits - Cedric's request for a hug was playfully denied. Brooklyn's observation about Lisa being in the Diary Room sparked further suspicion for Angela, who saw it as a sign of something brewing in the storage room.

 

Seeking solace in Brooklyn, Angela revealed her core alliance members: Cam, Chelsie (with some reservations), Leah, Quinn, and Cedric. They discussed nominations, with Angela confident she had a consensus on who to put up.

 

The conversation then shifted to the have-nots, whom Angela perceived as a threat. Brooklyn downplayed the stereotype of Angela as the "grandma" figure, highlighting the have-nots' tendency to project their own fears. The possibility of Brooklyn joining Angela in the HOH room was raised, with both women acknowledging the potential target it might paint on their backs.

 

Angela then opened up about her struggles with Kenney. Despite wanting to give him a chance due to their similar age group, she harbored doubts about his trustworthiness. The conversation ended on a more positive note, with both Angela and Brooklyn envisioning themselves as future HOHs, complete with celebratory confetti.

 

Their shared strategizing session wasn't without its blinds spots. Angela underestimated the athleticism of the houseguests, overlooking Quinn's impressive running ability. She also expressed concerns about Matt and Leah's closeness, highlighting the ever-shifting dynamics of alliances in the Big Brother house.

 

As the night truly ended, personal anecdotes emerged. Brooklyn mentioned her child named Cam, prompting Angela to share her forgetfulness about Kenney's children's names. The conversation concluded with a reflection on the challenges of the slop chili and Brooklyn's desire to avoid a prolonged stay on slop. With a final question about her willingness to stay in the game if nominated, Brooklyn reassured Angela before retiring for the night.

 

2:00am BBT  Matt and Lisa huddled in the storage room, strategizing after the Head of Household competition. Matt revealed his plan to throw the competition to Angela, but was surprised when she mimicked his strategy. Lisa cautioned him to stay true to himself and build genuine connections.

 

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Makensy and Leah fretted about the upcoming nominations. They were unsure who Angela would target, and worried the cameras might be catching their conversation.

 

Back in the storage room, Matt confided in Lisa about his suspicions of Angela. He felt she might be coming for him, despite his efforts to connect with everyone. He boasted about the positive feedback he'd received from other houseguests, feeling secure in his position. Matt then theorized that Angela might nominate the less active players to avoid drama.

 

The conversation shifted as Makensy rejoined them, briefly interrupting their strategy session with a request for cough drops. Once she left, Matt continued, revealing his veiled threat to Angela if he was nominated. He also suggested they target the team who came in last place during the competition.

 

The discussion turned darker as Matt expressed his belief that he could easily get Angela out next week. The mood remained tense as the feeds cut.

 

Later, Matt checked in with Lisa, inquiring about alliances. Lisa hadn't been approached yet, and Matt seemed surprised by the lack of alliance talk in general. Lisa offered her perspective, believing Matt was safe and that Angela might nominate the quieter houseguests.

 

While Matt strategized, Leah and Makensy discussed their own alliances in the bathroom. Leah felt secure with Matt and Makensy, but acknowledged the need to expand their circle. They talked about other houseguests, with Makensy revealing that Kenney had approached her about an alliance, but she questioned his commitment to the game.

 

Despite her reservations about Kenney, Makensy admitted to finding him charismatic and funny. A shift in perspective came from Matt, who shared his own story about having to mature quickly despite his young age.

 

The conversation flowed between the rooms, with Leah mentioning that Angela had questioned the guys' bathroom talk about... well, farts. Finally, Leah and Makensy agreed on the need to build connections with other houseguests, particularly T'kor, Kimo, and Cam.

 

Matt, ever the strategist, revealed his "real life" habit of chewing toothpicks, even requesting floss picks despite the obvious alternative.

 

3:00am BBT  In the Unicorn room, with the lights out, two houseguests slept soundly - Rubina and another unidentified houseguest. Meanwhile, a late-night bathroom run for toilet paper sparked a playful debate between Lisa and Makensy. Apparently, self-sufficiency was the theme of the night, as Makensy declared houseguests should get their own supplies.

 

Emerging from the bathroom, Matt and Makensy paused by the memory wall, where Matt complimented Makensy on her photo. Just then, the feeds cut, leaving viewers to wonder about the content of the remaining photos. The scene shifted to the kitchen, where Angela, in her HOH robe, was surrounded by Matt, Makensy, Lisa, and Leah. Matt casually mentioned his photo editing skills, prompting a group hug and well wishes for Angela to get some rest.

 

One-on-one conversations took center stage next. Angela confided in Makensy about feeling overwhelmed, while Makensy expressed concerns about the nomination speeches. Angela reassured Makensy that she didn't need to worry, offering a glimmer of hope for Makensy's game safety.

 

The conversation remained private as the feeds switched again. Back in the living room, Leah and Matt bonded over childhood fears, with Leah admitting a lingering dread of the grasshopper from "A Bug's Life" and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Their chat was interrupted by the arrival of Lisa and Makensy.

 

Night owls Matt and Makensy, despite being in separate beds with the lights out, couldn't resist some late-night whispering. Matt's curiosity about other alliances and his boastful comment about "gassing up" someone fueled speculation about his strategy.

 

The whispering continued, with Matt mentioning a lack of interaction with Kimo and his disapproval of Joseph's alliance-building efforts. Makensy, ever the voice of reason, advocated for a simpler approach.

 

Laughter filled the air as Matt and Makensy continued their conversation, punctuated by the occasional lull and then a burst of renewed chatter. Finally, with a promise to end the conversation soon, Makensy drifted off to sleep, leaving Matt to whisper into the night (perhaps serenaded by the rhythmic snores of Kenney, who was sleeping nearby?).

 

4:00am BBT Makensy and Matt's late-night whispers took a lighter turn. They chatted about the houseguests' ages and families. Their surprise at Brooklyn and Rubina's ages was evident in Matt's shocked "Insane!"

 

Suddenly, the strategic alliance talk shifted to something more lighthearted - an alliance name! Makensy jokingly threw out "Trinity," admitting it wasn't exactly a holy alliance. They bounced around ideas, with Matt even suggesting a tech-inspired name that left Makensy laughing (clearly not everyone in the Big Brother house was a tech whiz!).

 

The creativity flowed. "Night Night Teddy Bears," "Zoombies," "Sofa Squad," "Sunrise Squad," and even "Backyardigans" were all tossed into the mix, punctuated by their muffled laughter hidden beneath the darkness. Matt, perhaps trying to be a little more literal, proposed "2 Girls, One Guy" for their alliance. Makensy, however, wasn't a fan. Finally, after brainstorming through the night, they decided to call it a night. Exchanging goodnights, Makensy even extended a farewell whisper to Kenney, who was sound asleep next to them. Exhaustion finally won over their late-night alliance planning session.

 

10:20am BBT Friday morning began with a routine task - fish feeding. Kimo, Chelsie, and Makensy gathered  in the bathroom. Kimo expressed his concern for Makensy's voice, hoping it would heal soon. He then opened up about his own personality, revealing that while he enjoys connecting with people, he thrives in one-on-one interactions rather than large groups. Makensy, seemingly overwhelmed by the constant social environment, confided in Kimo that despite being extroverted, the constant talking in the Big Brother house was a lot to handle. This glimpse into the bathroom conversation offered a window into the houseguests' personalities and how they were adjusting to the intense social atmosphere.

 

11am BBT Angela, the Head of Household, revealed to Kimo that she hadn't eaten much the previous day. She also admitted to snoring and needing to change her underwear, offering a glimpse into her personal life. Upstairs, Matt and Kenney discussed the Head of Household competition. Matt downplayed the element of skill, suggesting it was mostly chance. Kenney felt betrayed by Tucker, who had revealed personal information about him to Angela.

 

Matt and Kenney strategized about building an alliance. Matt boasted about people approaching him, while Kenney cautioned about the difficulty of ranking people in a large group. Lisa and Leah discussed Matt's communication style, with Leah finding him more of a salesman than a collaborator. Leah also observed the dynamic between Angela and Cedric, comparing it to a mother and child.

 

In the rock room, Angela and Chelsie discussed potential nominations. Angela expressed a liking for Kimo, while Chelsie suggested targeting the more outspoken players like Makensy and Lisa. Joseph entered the conversation, proposing to nominate a showmance as a strategic move. Angela revealed to Chelsie that she had noticed Leah, Matt, and Makensy staying up late together. While Angela found Leah genuine, she expressed a desire to get to know her better.

 

 

Chelsie, left alone in the rock room, expressed her doubts about the genuineness of most houseguests, with Angela being the exception. Makensy was called to the Diary Room, while the guys gathered near the pool table. Matt attempted to connect with Angela by mentioning her emotional impact on the houseguests during the HOH competition.

 

 

12:00pm BBT In the aftermath of the nomination ceremony looming, Chelsie expressed confidence in her and T'kor's safety for the week. Looking ahead, T'kor rooted for Lisa to win the next Head of Household competition.

Joseph advised T'kor to expand her social circle. He also questioned Leah's honesty, suggesting she might play a more straightforward game compared to Makensy. Chelsie, meanwhile, expressed admiration for Brooklyn and Cam, believing Cam to be both loyal and strategic (although Joseph disagreed on the strategy part).

The nomination ceremony preparations were underway. T'kor and Chelsie lamented the loss of their "bomb outfits" that Big Brother had confiscated. An unlikely friendship blossomed between Brooklyn and Leah. Brooklyn shared stories about her children's various extracurricular activities, offering a glimpse into her life outside the game.

In the Have-Not room, Matt and Cedric discussed the new season's format with the introduction of the AI element. They pondered the possibilities of being nominated multiple times and the role of the AI arena.

Cedric, feeling ostracized by the house, confided in the cameras about his strategic decision to be more visible in the game.

Meanwhile, in another part of the Have-Not room, a potential alliance was brewing. Cam expressed his trust in Quinn, and they discussed forming an alliance with Cedric. Cedric emphasized the group's diverse skillset, highlighting their potential strength in competitions. Quinn seemed receptive to the idea.

The focus shifted to fashion as Tucker offered Cam some style advice in the Have-Not room. Tucker bragged about his collection of vintage sunglasses, including a pair from the 1800s.

Back in the pink room, Brooklyn and Leah strategized. Brooklyn suggested taking advantage of the strong players' vulnerability, mentioning Cam, Chelsie, and Cedric as potential targets. The conversation was cut short as the feeds switched to show the houseguests' furry friends – the bunnies.

2:30pm BBT Tears flowed as Angela revealed her nominations to the houseguests. Lisa, Kimo, and Kenney were all nominated, leaving them stunned and scrambling. Lisa, feeling completely blindsided, expressed her loyalty to Angela and her confusion about the nomination. Angela, emotional herself, assured Lisa of her affection but wouldn't reveal who had put Lisa's name on the block. Lisa, questioning Angela's trustworthiness, suggested Joseph as a replacement nominee.

 

Meanwhile, Angela reassured the other nominees, Kimo and Kenney. Kenney, initially surprised by the nomination, ultimately felt good about his position. The emotional fallout continued as Lisa confided in Leah and Makensy about her shock and confusion. She questioned her place in the game, feeling betrayed by Angela. While Leah and Makensy expressed support, they also admitted they would vote to evict Lisa if she remained nominated.

 

Back in the Have-Not room, Angela revealed her strategy to Chelsie, admitting to manipulating Lisa for her own benefit. She then met with Cam and discussed the emerging alliance, brainstorming ways to solidify their group.

 

3:00pm BBT Angela worries that people are lying to her and that she has made enemies. She initially tells Kimo that Matt is her target. Kimo trusts Angela and says he is proud of her for making the tough decision. Angela is worried about Lisa because she told her that Kenney might be the target. Lisa is now upset with Angela. Angela feels like she can't be around Lisa anymore.

 

Angela talks to Quinn about the situation. Quinn likes targeting Kenney because he can easily reintegrate into the house after being nominated. Quinn assures Angela that she is not the target after this week. Angela is emotional and cries while reading a letter from home. She looks at the HoH monitor and observes the other houseguests, wondering who she can trust.

 

4:00pm BBT 

Angela and Leah are talking in the HOH room. Angela is trying to figure out who she can trust. Leah assures Angela that she did not bring up any rumors and wants to work with her. Angela feels safe with Leah and they agree to work together, even shaking on it. Leah tells Angela she does not want to include Rubina in their alliance. Angela tells Leah that she wants Kenney out. Leah agrees and says she guessed the nominations last night. Leah feels bad about Kenney, but Angela tells her about what Kenney said about Matt's veto promises.

 

Angela and Leah continue talking about the game. Leah says she can only control herself but assures Angela she has her back. They discuss their first impressions of each other and Leah says she wants to play against strong competitors.

Meanwhile, Matt is in the storage room with Lisa talking about alliances. They realize they need 7 votes to evict someone.

 

Angela is back in the HOH room with Lisa. Angela is drained and exhausted. Lisa asks how she is doing. While Lisa is eating hummus in the HOH room, Big Brother tells her to do something. Lisa gets annoyed but clarifies that it wasn't directed at Big Brother. Angela returns and they start talking.

 

5:00pm BBT 

After nominations, Angela is confused about who she can trust. Leah talks to Angela in the HOH room and assures her that she is on her side. Angela feels safe with Leah and they agree to work together. However, Angela later realizes that Leah might not be honest with her. 

 

Lisa also talks to Angela in the HOH room. Angela is drained and tells Lisa how she is feeling. Lisa convinces Angela that she is a good ally and that Angela should not target her. Meanwhile, Matt and Kenney are surprised to be nominated together. They are happy that they are not nominated with other houseguests.

 

Other houseguests are also trying to figure out alliances. Cedric is worried that his alliances are not strong and Joseph feels like the game is not moving fast enough. Angela talks to Mackensy and apologizes if she made Matt feel like she was targeting him. Mackensy assures Angela that everything is fine.

 

Rubina joins Lisa and Leah. Lisa feels like she should have started playing the game harder sooner. Rubina agrees and convinces Lisa to start talking to other houseguests about alliances. 

 

6:00pm BBT After being nominated for eviction, Lisa is scrambling to secure her place in the house. She talks to Joseph and tries to convince him that she is a valuable ally. He is unsure but doesn't want to make any promises. Lisa then chats with Cam. They discuss the nominations and alliances. Cam reveals that Angela is targeting Kenney and that he would use the veto on Lisa if needed. Lisa is relieved and asks for a one-on-one talk with Quinn after the talent show.

 

Meanwhile, Matt assures Chelsie that his nomination by Angela is not a personal attack. He also talks to Lisa in the gym and tells her that he would rather keep her than Kenney. Lisa is suspicious but appreciates the sentiment. The houseguests then gather for a talent show. Matt advises Lisa to be genuine and talk to more people to improve her chances of staying. They agree that Lisa would be a loyal ally and head off to join the talent show.

 

 

 

7:00pm BBT Lisa and Quinn are having a one-on-one conversation in the unicorn room. Quinn tells Lisa that she has been a reassuring presence since the beginning of the game. Someone comes into the room to get something, and Lisa assures them that she is just having one-on-one meetings with everyone and it is not a secret meeting.

 

Lisa continues the conversation with Quinn, expressing her desire to have him on her team. She believes they need to start building alliances and she is looking for loyal and transparent people to work with. Quinn agrees with Lisa's collectivist approach to the game and says he sees her as a strong player. He admits to being nervous because he has not had many conversations about the game with other players. Lisa tells him that she did not think many people were talking game either, which is why she was surprised to be nominated. Quinn asks Lisa if she thinks the house would keep her over Kenney, and she expresses her hope that they would. They both agree that this is a good start to their alliance.

 

Lisa and Quinn discuss the number of votes needed to win the veto competition. Lisa was not aware that the nominees are not allowed to vote. Meanwhile, Matt and Angela are having a conversation. Matt tells Angela that Kenney has been acting mad at him. Angela suggests that Matt should try to appease Kenney. They talk about Lisa, and Angela says that she does not think Lisa understands the importance of making genuine connections in the game. Matt tells Angela that he suggested to Lisa to play the game harder, but she does not seem to get it.

 

Matt proposes to Angela that they should not use the veto and let the best player survive the week. He also says that he is undecided about his feelings towards Kenney at this point. Later, Cam tells Matt and Kenney that Lisa asked him to use the veto on her. He finds this ridiculous because they have not spoken about the game before. He says he will not use the veto on Lisa or Kenney. Matt tells Cam and Kenney that he thinks Angela is playing too aggressively.

 

8:00pm BBT 

Lisa attempts to win favor by cooking dinner for everyone, showing her nurturing side. Meanwhile, in the Head of Household room, Angela regrets her attempt to get nine people to target one houseguest. She feels Matt and his allies are forming a strong alliance, and they've been recruiting members.

 

Angela reveals that Lisa campaigned for votes, even apologizing to Matt and potentially using a "tool" to convince him to join her side. She suspects Matt has secured Joseph's vote as well. Feeling threatened, Angela worries that Matt has turned Cam against her. Apparently, Matt wants to vote out Kenney, possibly influenced by something Lisa told him. Angela is hesitant to use the veto because it would require her to nominate another player.

 

Matt, on the other hand, is rallying the troops. He expresses his dislike for "floaters" who don't play the game actively, referencing past seasons of Big Brother. Lisa is on a mission for survival. She pleads with Chelsie to advocate for her and seeks information from Kimo about potential alliances. They agree to vote for each other, but with two nominees canceling each other's votes out, they still need to secure seven votes to stay safe.
