  332: Big Brother 28 Week 6 Recap: Sophi Balerdi on Why Devens Using the Diamond POV May Backfire

  Aug 17, 202638 min

  Survivor 49's Sophi Balerdi joins Sharon Tharp to recap week six of Big Brother 28, less than an hour after Rick Devens used the Diamond Power of Veto to pull Dee off the block. Balerdi, who knows Dee outside the house, questions whether Devens revealed his position too early and weighs what the move costs both of their games heading into the Blockbuster. Also discussed: Kamu's case as the strongest newbie of the season, the newly formed Mosh Pit alliance, and whether a newbie jury will hold the returnees' advantages against them at the end.

  331: Big Brother 28 Exit Interview: 5th Houseguest Evicted

  Aug 14, 20268 min

  SPOILER WARNING: This audio contains major spoilers for the latest episode of Big Brother 28, including the eliminated player. Chuk Anyanwu joins The Exclusive fresh off a 9-1 eviction from Big Brother 28 — with only Haley Thogmartin voting to keep him — and he doesn't hold back on the ally he says ended his game: Kamu Kirk. Chuk breaks down the moment Kamu refused to use the veto on him ("that was the biggest red flag ever"), who he believes walked into LaTrice "Lala" Verrett's room and flipped the house, and why he refused to campaign even as Taylor Brown pushed him to fight. Plus: why he'd have backdoored Kamu with the HOH, and the flowers he's still willing to give Lala.

  Aug 10, 20261h 10m

  Big Brother 3 legend Jason Guy returns to The Exclusive to recap Week 5 of Big Brother 28, breaking down the blindside that rocked Haley's HOH and why Dee's fingerprints are all over the flip. Jason unpacks Lala's historic Wall win over Kamu, makes the case for Yash's quiet "stealth game" as the season's most dangerous, and explains why he needs to see the reality TV icons sweat before Dee and Devens cruise to the end. He weighs in on the secrecy around Deven's Diamond Power of Veto, calls Kamu a "free agent" living on borrowed time, and celebrates Mallory's feel-good BB Time Capsule win. Plus: his read on the Melody–Drew slow burn, Angela's cooler head, and who he predicts is heading out the door this Thursday.

  328: Big Brother 28 Exit Interview: 4th Player Evicted

  Aug 7, 202611 min

  SPOILER WARNING: This audio contains major spoilers for the latest episode of Big Brother28, including the eliminated player. The latest houseguest evicted from Big Brother 28, Lyric Medeiros, joins The Exclusive to break down the last-minute flip that sent her home 8-3 and why she insists she "knew" the vote was coming the moment Haley put her up. The attorney reflects on getting shut out of the Red Corner despite Chuk and Kamu's support, the apology she owed Mallory and Melody after "confirming" their target list, and Rome's ground rules for her flirting strategy — "no handholding and no kissing." Lyric also opens up about the "magnets" pull she felt with Rome from day one and reveals who she's picking to go all the way.
