The Toolshed
The mega-alliance Devens built with his first HOH — folding most of The Red Corner and The Crossovers into one eight-person bloc that Drew Campbell christened "The Toolshed." The biggest power group of the mid-game — and already cracking from the inside.

Rome Gets Weird While the Toolshed Meets
While the eight-person Toolshed huddled in the dead of night to plot his exit, Rome Seymour prowled the house sensing the freeze-out — drifting into rooms that went quiet, striking up conversations nobody wanted, and getting louder and stranger as the 3 a.m. meeting he wasn't invited to ran on without him.
The Toolshed Gets Built at 3 A.M.
Devens gathered both of his alliances — the Crossovers and the Red Corner — in the HOH room in the dead of night and merged them into a single eight-person powerhouse. Drew gave it a name: The Toolshed.
Cracks in the Toolshed
The eight-person majority wobbled: Drew started campaigning for the next HOH to "nuke the Toolshed," while Barrett stewed over his low spot in the pecking order.
Down to Two
With Jason safe, the block came down to Melody and Rome — and the Toolshed's math never wavered: Rome was the target, and the votes were counted before the house sat down.
Kamu Body-Slams His Way to HOH
"Wrestlegasm '85" put the houseguests through a true/false wrestling quiz — watch a 1985 match, get one wrong and you're "down for the count" (Jessie "Mr. Pectacular" Godderz cameo). Kamu outlasted the field for the third straight Toolshed HOH (Dee → Devens → Kamu).
The Toolshed Turns on Drew
The real target was never really Lyric. Drew Campbell's alliance is quietly lining up the votes to send one of their own packing, keeping only Drew and Barrett in the dark on the plan.
