    BB28 Saturday Live Feed Update August 1, 2026

    Also available on YouTube.

    Big Brother 28 is all about shifting alliances and trust issues as Haley’s HoH reign puts Drew, Melody, and Taylor on the block. Taran Armstrong recaps Day 25 live feed action with guest Chantele Francis, diving into nominations, strategy talks, and house dynamics in this detailed recap episode.

    Haley’s nominations initially target Taylor, but “Red Corner” discussions and mounting skepticism turn the heat on Drew, who senses the walls closing in but struggles to counter his looming nomination. Much of the house views Kamu, Chuk, and Haley as easily influenced, leaving the veterans and “Red Corner” to push their agendas. Lyric appears to be playing both sides well, but Kamu’s overt support makes others wary, creating new doubts about where loyalties really stand. Conversations swirl around potential backdoors and vet power, with Dee and Angela quietly steering the game from the shadows and Drew realizing—too late—that he might be in deeper trouble than he thought.

    Taran Armstrong highlights how Drew’s attempts to reason with Haley fall flat, leading to Drew becoming the new main target.

    Chantele observes that Kamu’s push for Lyric raises suspicions among others, potentially hurting Lyric’s position.

    Haley repeatedly relives her “mean girl” confrontation with Melody, a running theme noted by both Taran Armstrong and Chantele.

    Dee masterfully reassures Kamu while possibly withholding information about powers; speculation grows but goes unresolved.

    Both hosts discuss the lack of agency for Drew or Barrett this week, noting missed opportunities and urging a needed power shift.

    With the veterans influencing Red Corner decisions and the “easy vote” narrative in play, can Drew win veto and shake up the week, or is the house steamrolling toward his eviction? Listen in for a full breakdown of strategy, shifting allegiances, and the unpredictable gameplay inside the BB28 house.

    Also available on YouTube.

    Jason was not brought into Big Brother 28 as one of the “Icons” and decided to go against them. That was not a great idea, but was it the ultimate cause of his downfall? Or was it more the way he went about it and his own admitted messiness? David Bloomberg and Chappell look at these issues as well as other factors as they discuss what contributed to him leaving our TVs so soon. Plus their thoughts on other happenings this week, from the tea party to Drew’s position and more. At RHAP, we know Big Brother, and we know Why Jason Lost.

    Big Brother 28 keeps everyone guessing as shifting alliances and sneaky plans make it tough to know where anyone truly stands. Hosts Taran Armstrong and Pooya break down a crucial live feed recap, focusing on the fallout from Jason’s eviction, a new HoH, and houseguests scrambling for safety. The tension centers around which side will gain momentum, as the Red Corner alliance looks to solidify its power and the outsiders search for a path forward.

    This episode covers the moments before and after Jason’s eviction, including Kamu’s reign as HoH and the crumbling of Mallory’s vote support after Drew, Barrett, and Taylor bail. Haley wins the next HoH following a close fight with Yash, shaking up expectations. Devens’ diamond power of veto becomes a point of strategy—will he use it as a shield or leverage? Meanwhile, talk turns to Drew as a target, but Haley’s real aim seems to be Taylor, naming her as a 1000% target and considering putting up Drew and Melody alongside her. Lyric and Yash openly jump ship from their old allies, forming a new pact and making moves to join the majority alliance. Throughout, houseguests debate whether to blindside or backdoor, while some, like Lyric, masterfully work self-preservation by cozying up to power.

    Taran points out how Devens plans to wield the diamond power of veto as leverage instead of chaos.

    Haley eyes Taylor as her main target, wanting to put her up alongside Drew and Melody, as discussed by Taran.

    Pooya and Taran note the growing willingness of players like Lyric and Yash to abandon failing alliances for a better shot at surviving.

    Drew’s precarious position is flagged, as being an initial nominee often leads to eviction, with Taran predicting trouble if he stays on the block.

    Haley confronts Melody about personal game talk, but the confrontation ends up far less dramatic than described.

    With the majority alliance growing and outsiders like Lyric and Yash seeking new alliances, will anyone be able to shake up the house hierarchy, or is someone about to be blindsided once again? Tune in to get a detailed look at the latest moves and shifting loyalties inside the Big Brother 28 house.

    BB28 Week 3 Exit Interview

    31/07/2026 | 12 mins.
    BB28 Week 3 Exit Interview

    Watch on YouTube!

    Big Brother 28 fans won’t want to miss this episode, where exit interview hosts Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong catch up with the third evicted houseguest, Jason. With the Icons versus the newcomers as the season’s big showdown, Jason—also known by his drag persona Selena Estitties—reflects on life in the house, the tough choices he faced, and his own star power amid a cast of reality show veterans.

    Jason dives into his strategy of hiding his RuPaul’s Drag Race background to avoid intimidation and judgment from the Icons and the rest of the house. The episode covers key moments like Jason commandeering the now-famous “Tea Party” incident, and how his natural charisma redirected a confrontation into a memorable exit moment. Discussion also turns to alliances and the pivotal moment when Drew passed information to Angela, shifting trust and power within the house. Jason shares candid thoughts about who is really pulling the strings, why trust is so hard to earn, and the highs and lows of fan support.

    Jason admits to Rob Cesternino that keeping his Drag Race past a secret felt like being “in the closet” again, hoping to avoid bias from Icons and other houseguests.

    Taran Armstrong breaks down how Jason flipped Kamu’s planned “Tea Party” TV moment, showing Jason’s ability to control the narrative and grab fan attention.

    Jason reveals to Taran Armstrong and Rob Cesternino the failed attempt to rally non-Icon houseguests and his reasoning for sharing critical game info with Drew, unaware Drew was aligned with Angela.

    Jason points to Drew and Barrett as possible swing players in the middle of the house, but doubts they’ll disrupt the current power structure anytime soon.

    As the Icons tighten their grip, the rest of the house faces tough odds. Will Drew or Barrett ever flip the house and shake up the game? Tune in for the full conversation and insight straight from Jason’s exit.

    BB28 Thursday Eviction Ep Recap, Week 3

    31/07/2026 | 1h 13 mins.
    BB28 Thursday Eviction Ep Recap, Week 3

    Also available on YouTube.

    Big Brother 28 has the house on edge as tensions spike following a tough eviction night and growing controversy around certain players’ social media history. Rob Cesternino, Taran Armstrong, Mike Bloom, and Kirsten MacInnis, guide listeners through this week’s eviction fallout, eviction number 3, and what it means for the shifting alliances and possible resistance in the house.

    This episode dives deep into Kamu’s problematic behavior both inside and outside the house, and the difficult eviction of Jason, who leaves as a celebrated fan favorite after a bruising house campaign against him. The HoH competition, dubbed “Videotape Tumble,” sees Mallory clutch a close win, shifting the focus from Jason’s likely continued isolation to whether Mallory, Lyric, and Melody (the “Giggle Girls”) can turn the tide against the dominant alliance, often referred to as “the Toolshed.” The recap covers why a resistance failed to form, most notably how Drew and Barrett talk about flipping, but never pull the trigger, and explores the emotional toll of the week, especially for Jason.

    Mike notes that Mallory staying may be better for the underdog alliance’s chances than if Jason had remained as an isolated target.

    Taran and Rob Cesternino break down the failed vote flip, showing how Taylor’s indecision and Drew/Barrett’s reluctance leave the Toolshed in power.

    Kirsten highlights the sharp, heartfelt exit speech Jason gave and the positive fan response he gets upon leaving.

    The hosts discuss the close and well-produced Blockbuster competition, the lack of DR shoutouts, and whether props like Angela’s “evil eye” necklace really shift the house’s energy.

    With Mallory’s win giving a glimmer of hope to the outsiders, will the younger houseguests and the “Giggle Girls” finally band together to challenge the core alliance next week? Find out how the shifting sands could change in the next eviction by listening to the full episode.
