Gold Derby is serving up Big Brother 28 spoilers piping hot all summer long. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
For the third week in a row, the Golden Power of Veto has been played. This time around, Veto winner Lyric Medeiros used it to save herself, meaning Head of Household Kamu Kirk — a loyal soldier in the dominant Toolshed alliance — had to name a replacement nominee to sit alongside LaTrice Verrett and Mallory Aurichio.
During Monday afternoon’s Week 3 Veto meeting, the Arizona MMA fighter pulled the trigger on his backdoor plan, officially naming Jason De Puy as his renom. Absolutely nobody was surprised by this decision, especially since last night’s tea party blew up Jason’s entire game (more on that below).
The West Hollywood drag queen will face off against LaTrice and Mallory during Thursday’s live Block Buster competition. The competition winner will be safe from eviction; the two losers will face the house vote.
If this scenario is giving you déjà vu, that’s because something similar happened last week.
Then-HOH Rick Devens used the Veto to remove Lyric, and Rome Seymour — the true target of the Survivor legend — was backdoored. Rome ended up being evicted by a 12-to-1 vote over Melody Morris, and he later told Gold Derby that he loved making Rick, Dee Valladares, and Angela Murray “quake in their boots” during his two-week tenure.
TEA PARTY
The day before the Veto ceremony, Kamu called a house meeting (in the form of a tea party) to air Jason’s dirty laundry. The entire thing lasted close to an hour, and Jason was repeatedly forced to defend himself over alleged promises and rumors. Um … isn’t this Big Brother, where lying is encouraged?!
Jason pushed back against the accusations, and at one point he demanded that Kamu “say their names,” referring to the people who claimed Jason wanted to go after the reality TV icons. Kamu refused. The confrontation eventually fizzled into awkward silence, with Jason learning that he’d be put up as a replacement nominee the following day.
Elsewhere at the tea party, Barrett Pfeiffer and Drew Campbell showed off their pretty dresses for America and pretended to be the inventors of Big Brother‘s catchphrase, “expect the unexpected.” They even walked the runway in the backyard like true models — RuPaul’s Drag Race producers, are you watching?
“Find your inner true self and let her run wild … we’re here to make girls jealous and boys drool,” Drew said while holding back laughter in his pink outfit. Barrett responded, “This is how I imagine every tea party goes,” while donning his low-cut blue dress and matching bandana.
Fallout continued Monday as Jason lashed out at “Queen Kamu.” “My queen!” he screamed while banging on pots and pans. “That’s my girl right there! That’s my girl! That’s the queen of the house! Ms. Kamu, I got you girl.”
FAVORITE HOUSEGUESTS
Are you happy with Kamu’s plan to evict Jason, aka the “Messy Bitch” of the house? According to Gold Derby’s recent poll, 5% of fans say Jason is their favorite contestant of Season 28, so he clearly has his fair share of fans, many of them no doubt from the RuPaul’s Drag Race community.
The Top 2 houseguests in our poll results are Rick (31%) and Dee (17%), proving that the Big Brother producers made a great decision to cast two Survivor icons on the show. Next in line are Lyric (8%), Angela (6%), Rome (6%), Drew (5%), Jason (5%), Kamu (4%), and Mallory (4%). The rest of the players all have 3% support or less — womp, womp.
