The voice of AI host, AINSLI, echoed through the studio, introducing a trio of former winners: Jag Bains, the charismatic competitor from Season 25; Taylor Hale, the crowned queen of Season 24; and the formidable Cody Calafiore, a two-time competitor from Seasons 16 and 22.

The three reality TV veterans took their seats at a desk in the sleek AI Arena, a digital stage bathed in the cool glow of technology. AINSLI, projected onto a large screen, welcomed the former houseguests and invited them to share their insights on the current season. The AI host made it clear that she would be paying close attention to their observations.

Cody described the current season as a whirlwind of chaos and excitement. His infectious energy was palpable as he recounted the unpredictable nature of the game. Jag, ever the analytical competitor, focused on the impact of AI on the season, praising the innovative AI Arena challenge that added a new layer of strategy to the game. 

He also recapped the game-changing power-ups won by Quinn and Makensy, highlighting their significance in shaping the competition. Taylor, known for her strategic gameplay, emphasized the groundbreaking nature of the power allowing nominees to remove themselves from the block, acknowledging its potential to disrupt the traditional dynamics of the game.

The conversation shifted to the most memorable moments of the season, and the former houseguests wasted no time in diving into the explosive drama between Angela and Matt. 

The trio engaged in a lively discussion, dissecting the intricacies of their tumultuous relationship. From their initial clash to Matt's eventual eviction, they analyzed the strategic implications of Matt and Angela's actions and the impact it had on the overall dynamics of the house.

As the conversation deepened, the former houseguests were shown dramatic footage of Angela's growing frustration with Matt. Her relentless pursuit of his eviction was laid bare, culminating in a celebratory moment when her goal was finally achieved. 

Cody, a seasoned reality TV star with his own acting background, couldn't help but take offense when Angela accused the houseguests of behaving like they were in a "low-budget movie." His retort added a humorous yet cutting edge to the analysis.

The conversation shifted to the under-the-radar alliances and budding relationships that had developed within the house. The former houseguests noted the strategic advantage of maintaining a neutral stance while building strong connections with key players.

T'kor and Kimo emerged as one such duo, their bond forged through shared experiences and mutual support. Similarly, Cedric and Chelsie developed a close friendship, their camaraderie strengthened during their mascot punishment.

The topic of showmances inevitably arose, and the spotlight turned to Tucker and Rubina. Their attempts to conceal their growing affection were met with amusement by the former houseguests, as they were shown clips of the couple's subtle interactions.

Jag injected humor into the conversation by highlighting the unexpected alliance between Tucker and Lisa, dubbing them the "Chef Alliance." Playful banter ensued as the group watched footage of Lisa's confrontational moments, ultimately leading to her eviction. Taylor asked for some glitter on the side.

The conversation shifted to the dramatic events of Week 3, when Tucker's decision to save Angela sent shockwaves through the house. The subsequent unveiling of Quinn's Deepfake power and Makensy's America's Veto, culminating in Kenny's eviction, had significantly altered the game's landscape.

As the former houseguests dissected the events, they discussed the potential implications of these power plays. Jag boldly predicted a final two showdown between Angela and Tucker, highlighting their strategic prowess and ability to navigate the complexities of the game. 

Cody, while acknowledging Angela's potential, expressed concerns about her ability to maintain a consistent level of gameplay. Taylor, meanwhile, identified Brooklyn, Chelsie, and T'kor as strong contenders for the final three.

As the episode drew to a close, AINSLI introduced a groundbreaking new twist that would shake up the house once again. The AI revealed that America would have the power to choose the next "AI Instigator," an individual who would be granted the ability to create chaos and manipulate the game.

The announcement sent a ripple of excitement and anticipation through the studio, as the former houseguests speculated about the potential impact of this new power. The episode concluded with AINSLI promising more details about the "AI Instigator" during the upcoming live show hosted by Julie Chen Moonves.
