The Empath

Elementary School Counselor

SEASON JOURNEY

total pts

Ep 1Premiere Night: The Time Trip Begins

Dee Loads the Block

Mallory, Yash & Taylor go up — 'one from each team' — with Mallory the real target; Yash feels betrayed, Taylor calls it a 'gut punch.'

Ep 4Mallory Saves Herself

Ashley Takes the Empty Chair

Mallory pulled herself down and Dee needed a body. She picked Ashley - not out of spite, but math: fewest allies, smallest blowback. The block is now Yash, Taylor and Ashley.

Yash Wins 'Do Over' and Saves Himself

The Block Buster asked which houseguest showed up most in a reel of terrible hairstyles. Yash said Mallory. Taylor and Ashley both said Devens. Yash walked off the block; the other two sat back down.

Ep 7So Many Waterworks

So Many Waterworks

The tears came in waves. Melody broke down after the noms held (“the kid sitting alone at lunch”); LaTrice cried over Rome's betrayal while Taylor whispered to lay low and “let them kill each other”; then Rome and LaTrice cried it out in a hug. The recap didn't name itself Waterworks for nothing.

Ep 8Kissed and Dismissed

The Cruelest Reveal

Julie broke the news on the exit couch: the lone vote to keep Rome wasn't Lyric or Jason — it was Taylor. Rome learned the showmance he'd just kissed goodbye had voted him out. "She batted her eyes twice and I was a puddle."

The Honor Society Convenes

Dee, Angela, LaTrice and Taylor made the women's alliance official, agreeing to call it the Honor Society — even as Angela privately started clocking Taylor as a "winner threat" inside her own new group.

Three Chairs, One Ruthless HOH

Melody Morris and Taylor Brown hit the block as the obvious picks — both had been eyeing Haley — but the third chair, Drew Campbell, was where the week turned from routine to ruthless.

Picked Her Poison

In "Murder at the Masquerade" — a candlelit, wine-and-poison guessing game with BB27's Morgan Pope pouring the drama — Taylor Brown read the table perfectly, won the Power of Veto, and yanked herself off the block. The fourth veto save of the season.

Ep 17LaTrice Climbs the Wall

Kamu Torches His Own

To dodge a backdoor, Kamu climbs to the HOH room and sells out allies Haley and Chuk, floating a new four with LaTrice, Yash and Taylor.

Ep 19Toolshed Collapse

"LaLa Is Legitimately Confused"

In his exit interview Chuk didn't hold back — "completely shocked," certain "LaLa is legitimately confused about this game," and clear that if he'd survived, LaLa and Taylor were his next targets.

"Conspiring Against Me" — and Drew's Name Is on the List

LaLa, Drew and Taylor. Dee said she put up the people who had been conspiring against her; LaLa and Taylor denied it on the spot. The third chair was the story — a founding Mosh Pit member nominated by his own alliance, on the word of a man who had just admitted to the cameras he was lying. Taylor demanded chapter and verse. The episode cut out mid-argument.

LaLa Finds Out She Was the Only One Not Told

The Kamu blindside ran through the entire house except her. LaLa broke down more than once — every group she joins gets dismantled, she said, and she was ready to go home. Taylor talked her back off the ledge, then bristled the moment LaLa started pressing Angela about the vote. Even the ally who came to get her found a reason to be irritated.

"I'm Only Telling the 'Drewth'"

Drew accuses Taylor and LaLa of lining up the icons, and produces the details to back it. Barrett and Yash half-confirm him; LaLa calls him a sneaky little liar and denies naming anyone but Devens.

Drew Ran Back and Said "C"

A trivia comp about Big Brother on Big Brother's thousandth night: three clues, thirty seconds each, a wall of clips, three boxes. Drew ran back, said "C," and was right. Mallory wasn't. The house's original target pulled himself off the block by knowing his own show better than the woman sitting next to him.

Six to Two, and One of Them Was Drew

Angela, Yash, Haley, Devens, LaTrice — and Drew, who had been sitting on the block beside her that same morning. He won his way off, then voted her out. Melody and Barrett were the only two who didn't, exactly as advertised. The resistance was fully formed and still lost by four.

Five Safe, Five Still in the Year 1000

The credits rolled before Barrett handed out a single stone. Dee, Devens, Drew, Angela and Barrett are banked into the jury phase; LaTrice Verrett, Melody Morris, Taylor Brown, Yash Patel and Haley are still stranded in the past with one spot about to disappear.

Three Chairs, and Not One of Them an Icon

LaTrice, Taylor and Yash. Drew's first nomination ceremony kept every Crossover safe, kept Melody safe, and pointedly avoided the Icons — from the houseguest who has spent all season saying he wanted the big alliances nuked. Dee noticed.

Four Spheres, Four Minutes

"Your Game in Ruins" buried the nominees in a quarry of coloured spheres, then made them lean over a balcony and drop the right ones down a tube. All three started badly. Devens and Taylor found it. LaLa never did.

Angela and Melody Break Ranks

The vote came back 4–2, and the two were not a bloc so much as a coincidence — Angela and Melody both went for Taylor, from opposite motives, against a majority that never wobbled. Angela and Dee walked in not on the same page and walked out proving it.

Ep 29Big Brother: Unlocked

Zingbot's Encore — Nobody Was Safe

The robot's official roast ran on Wednesday. Unlocked exists for the rest of it: the zings CBS had no room to air, delivered with the usual disregard for anybody's feelings.

Angela Picks the Wrong Easy Target

Weighing Drew against Taylor, Angela took Taylor — because she thought Taylor would be easier to beat. Between the two picks, Drew was frozen out of the veto entirely.

BB Comic Con and the Bootleg Variants

Zip-line past the window, memorise the order of the covers, then rebuild it from a pile stuffed with near-identical fakes. Taylor got her own comic wrong. Barrett got distracted by being the only one drawn as a villain.

Ep 32Reinvent the Wheel: The Icons Crack, Angela Falls

Dee Sells the Newbies a Bigger Shield

"Yash, Taylor, I'm with you guys 100 percent. Those three are so scared. They have no numbers." Dee's pitch was not loyalty, it was arithmetic — keep the player who goes after Barrett and Drew, because next to any of you, she is the one who goes home. Two of the three bought it.

The Ceasefire Splits Its First Real Vote

Barrett bet his entire HOH on breaking the returnee bloc and got his Icon. But his own five broke doing it — Yash and Taylor crossed to Devens to keep Dee, while Drew and Melody voted the other way. Five newbies against two returnees is the math on paper. In the booth it was 2-2.

Ep 33Yash Turns on His Own

Taylor Rides Shotgun, Hands Clean

Yash's Final 2 partner spends the week untouched, having already lit the fuse by telling Melody exactly what Drew tried to do to her.

Yash Throws the Veto for a Secret Deal

In the final hours Yash dropped on purpose — a handshake with Drew that trades a competition win for protection and a promised vote to keep Taylor. Against every bone in his body.

Taylor Backdoored by Her Own Ally

The BB Bribe barred Yash from the Icons, so his only legal renom was Taylor — the ally who flipped the house to save Dee last week. Knifed by her own side.

Double Eviction Looms

Barrett, Melody and Taylor head into Thursday's twin eviction with the Block Buster back in play — two houseguests leave in one live hour.

Your BB28 Final Five

Seven became five in one night: Drew, Melody, Taylor, Devens and Dee are all that's left — and Melody's the one holding HOH heading to Sunday.

Ep 36Big Brother: Unlocked

America's Favorite Vote Opens — and It's Worth +5

Unlocked launched the America's Favorite Houseguest vote. It does not settle until the October 1 finale, and on our board it pays +5 to whoever takes it. Five names are still in the house and every one of them is eligible.

The Pharaoh's Curse Comes for the House

An extra Egyptian elimination is coming this week, and only the HOH and Wednesday's veto winner are safe. Suddenly that veto is the most valuable one of the season.

Taylor Sees the Writing on the Wall

Tears over Yash turned into a confession: Taylor named herself the next boot, and not a soul in the room disagreed.

The Egyptian Tomb Challenge

Five houseguests, one Pharaoh, and a web of booby-trapped ropes where every trip wire cost you. Drew got out with 15 strikes; Dee had 21 and Devens 22.

Taylor Goes Up and Nobody Blinks

Named as the replacement with no time to campaign, Taylor sat down beside Melody and let the arithmetic do the work. She was never the one they wanted.

Taylor Grabs the Final 4 Crown

After weeks of near-misses and one very public cry, Taylor won the one HOH that guarantees a Final 3 seat — and the power to aim it.

Devens Named — and Spared

Drew saved himself, Taylor's pen landed on Devens, and the pawn became the beneficiary: no comp win all week, and a Final 3 seat anyway.

Final 3: Drew, Devens, Taylor

Time Trip's last three standing head into the three-part Final HOH — one comp king, one storyteller, one late-blooming winner.

Ep 40Final HOH, Part 1

Taylor grabs Part 1 of the Final HOH

Balancing on a moving log in Revolution-era costume, Taylor Brown outlasted Drew and Devens to win the endurance opener — and lock a guaranteed seat in Part 3.

“He just chose second place”

Flashbacks revisited Drew cutting Dee to keep Devens at Final 4 — loyalty over the bigger threat. Taylor's verdict was blunt: he handed someone else the win.

Everybody wants to sit next to Drew

With Part 3 looming, both remaining finalists have made the same plan clear — drag Drew to the end and beat him in front of the jury he burned.

Taylor Rides the Log to Part 3

Drew fell first and called himself "the mayor of choke city." Taylor screamed and cursed through nearly an hour of rain and shocks, and outlasted Devens to win Part 1.

Devens Runs the Table

He lost the first slingshot round to Drew, then won the next three to take Part 2. In Part 3 he didn't miss a single juror question, beat Taylor 5–3, and became the final HOH.

"This Is a Total Betrayal, and I Know That"

Devens promised Drew a Final 2 seat all week, then cut him, after Taylor told him Drew had the four jury votes to beat him. Drew cried and called it the right move, "but this hurts."

Cinderella vs. Blood on His Hands

Taylor said she'd survived the block six times on "faith, perseverance and courage," and asked Drew for his vote. Devens said he'd taken big swings and that his hands were "covered in blood."

6–1, and Only LaTrice Dissents

LaTrice voted for Taylor. Angela, Barrett, Yash, Melody, Dee and Drew all voted for Devens, including the man he had just cut.

Wins Part 1 of the Final HOH (endurance log)

Spinning log in 1752; outlasted Drew and Devens for nearly an hour.

Us Weekly Reality

BIO

An elementary school counselor with emotional intelligence to spare — she spends her working life reading kids who won't say what's wrong, which is decent rehearsal for this house. Warm, expressive, and entirely unable to hide either.

🎯 PRE-SEASON FANTASY TAKE

A heartfelt social player who bonds fast and could be a jury darling — but the counselor's empathy comes with a face that can't hide anything. Survival upside if she's protected; volatile if she's ever on the wrong side of a vote.

PRE-SEASON STRATEGY READ

Read the room better than it reads her, and keep the plan to herself.
