RCHS on the feeds

9:00AM BBT

The feeds return to the HGs in the backyard. Leah is going through her HOH basket which includes lots of bubbles! “I won a physical comp! I know my family is tweaking!”

The HGs are all sitting on camping cots.

Rubina: What a really hard comp!

Leah: What is going on? JANKIE is going crazy!

 

There is a carnival game style set up in the backyard that reads, “Jankie’s Knock ‘em Down”

Leah: This is the best ever. (Her basket is full of toys) I love! And why do I have a dump truck? Oh my God! Is this candy corn?

MJ: Kettle corn 

Leah: Oh my gosh! They think I’m five years old. My stomach is going to hurt so much.

Rubina: The Jankie World HoH is crazy!

Jankie has attacked by filling up the swimming pool with rubber duckies.

1:24PM BBT

It sure seems like the HGs are stuck in the backyard during this Jankie week.  They have a makeshift kitchen to prep food.

 

1:30PM BBT

Angela: It's getting hot fast.

Kimo: I know! Ugh! This is miserable.

Angela: Because it's hot.

Kimo: It will usually cool down about 5? Imagine us out here during the heat wave!

Angela: No way! Horrible! Sitting in the pool helps.

Kimo: Yeah!

9:07 AM BBT The feeds after a long overnight, revealing that Leah had won the HoH competition. The Houseguests had apparently camped out in the backyard, and Leah became emotional as she went through her HoH basket, sharing stories about her mom and cat. She couldn’t believe she had won an athletic competition. Her basket contained bubbles and baby toys, adding to the joy of the moment.

All the Houseguests had duffel bags and were lying down on cots in the backyard, which had a circus theme. Rubina told Angela that they were told "no fruit," while Kimo indulged in ice cream for breakfast. Leah mentioned she planned to sleep for a couple of hours and would have one-on-one conversations with anyone awake after.

10:48 AM BBT Angela and Leah were up and about. Cam was in the shower, while Leah got ready for the day in the backyard. The Houseguests seemed to have a kitchen set up in the backyard as well. Leah commented on the intense heat, saying it was "literally hotter than the devil in here," while Cam admitted he couldn’t sleep. The pool was filled with floaties and rubber ducks. Kimo was sitting dazed on his cot while Chelsie dipped her feet into the pool, squeezing a rubber duck as Cam sat quietly by himself in the mostly silent backyard.

11:15 AM BBT Leah had a one-on-one conversation with Cam on the balcony, expressing her feelings of exclusion. She felt like a black sheep, left out of conversations and activities. She explained that whenever she formed a connection with someone, they were taken away, referencing Quinn specifically.

Cam discussed his distrust of Quinn with Leah, saying Quinn had betrayed their alliance early on. Leah noted she had been on the wrong side of the last two votes. Cam said T’kor was going to stay with whomever she was up against, and whoever she nominated next would be the target. He suggested she nominate Kimo and Rubina and hope to win the veto to keep the nominations the same. 

Cam reassured her that she was in control and needed to "chill and flip the narrative." Leah admitted she felt scared, but Cam encouraged her to embrace the power of being HoH. He was glad she won, reminding her that people were coming after her, particularly "the three," and they probably still were.

When asked what she should say in her 1-on-1 conversations, Cam suggested Leah ask people what they would do if they were HoH or if there was anything they needed to clear up in one-on-one conversations.

Leah revealed to Cam that the game reminded her of how she felt as a child, left out and laughed at by others. Leah felt further alienated when she went to the HoH room and was interrogated by Chelsie and Makensy, leaving her feeling attacked.

11:46 AM BBT Angela, lounging in the hot tub, said she hadn’t slept much, worried that her snoring might wake others up. Cam reflected on his time in the game, noting that he always found himself in a limbo of sorts, never fully in power. He assured Leah that if he made a promise, he would follow through, and Leah agreed, saying she was the same way.

11:48 AM BBT Rubina stood by the washing machine, observing the duffle bags piled up while the "roll-up garage door" had been pulled over the Big Brother House door. There was a fridge with the ZANKIE logo on it. Leah remarked that it was "hotter than a you-know-what at church" as she searched for sunscreen.

Leah noticed the backyard flooding and sarcastically commented, "That’s great." She expressed frustration about how the other HoHs had their nice, big rooms, while she was stuck with a cot. Makensy, meanwhile, was trying to guess the time from the sun. Chelsie guessed it was around 3 PM, while Makensy thought it was closer to noon or 1 PM.

11:52 AM BBT Leah declared she would sleep in just her bra and underwear. Makensy complained that she was in trouble and only had one pair of underwear left. Angela joked, "I’m Tammy Raye." Cam mentioned something about "seven days," and Leah wondered aloud if she should go by the name Mercedes. Cam suggested she was more like Darlene. Leah finally settled on "Pamela Darlene," and Cam teased that having two first names was "classy."

Note: The Houseguests are joking about their BY camping characters.

Leah was searching for her cigarettes. Angela joked that they’d all start smoking out there. Leah reflected on how difficult the competition was, admitting that she didn’t think she could last even ten minutes. Rubina added with a laugh, "Ten hours later."

11:55 AM BBT Leah recalled waking up feeling as though she’d been hit by a bus. She confessed she was worried she’d wake up to the voice announcing she had won HoH but that it came with the penalty of being a Have Not due to a reverse twist. Kimo emerged from the porta-potty, and Chelsie mentioned they had to follow the rules if they wanted to play in a future HoH competition.

Leah shared how, while up in the competition last night, she thought she had started her period. Cam commented that during those long endurance comps, you end up staring at one thing, knowing it will last a long time.

Leah admitted she never thought she could win a competition like that. When she saw the setup, she thought there was no way she’d make it through three rounds. Makensy agreed, saying it didn’t feel like her competition, yet she lasted longer than she expected. Cam remarked how off his sense of time felt during the comp, and Makensy said it only lasted two hours and thirty minutes.

Makensy said it felt like her skin was falling off during the competition. Leah, determined to push through, told herself to lock in, mentally repeating "Hold it, hold it" as she saw the morning sky. 

12:00 PM BBT Cam shared his thoughts on the upcoming eviction. He predicted that T'kor would stay in the House, making whoever Leah nominates next the main target. He suggested nominating Kimo and Rubina and potentially leaving the nominations the same after the veto competition. 

Leah expressed her concerns about the previous two votes, noting that she had been on the wrong side of both, and this uncertainty weighed on her as she navigated her HoH responsibilities. The conversation underscored both Leah’s growing confidence as HoH and the pressure she faced from lingering alliances and betrayals.

Leah received a picture chosen by her mom, but it didn't include her sister Dani. Angela climbed out of the pool while Chelsie dangled a foot in the water. Makensy floated on a pool toy, and Rubina and Cam sat on the side. T'kor mentioned that she didn’t live in the city part of Chicago. Rubina said she was sweating just from sitting. Leah joked about how much Production must enjoy seeing them suffer in the heat. 

Chelsie reminisced about Quinn and speculated that he would be invited back for Big Brother or even Survivor. Leah mistakenly called Quinn by the name Scottie, and Chelsie recalled her respect for Scottie for evicting Swaggy while wearing Swaggy's merchandise. 

T'kor, trying to cool down, placed an ice pack on her neck. Leah, feeling the intensity of the heat, said she'd take an hour break before continuing with more conversations. Cam said the only fun time they’d have would be at night, and Chelsie agreed, saying they’d have four hours of chill time in the evening.

1:00 PM BBT Makensy was struggling with the oppressive heat, laying out in the sun and voicing her disbelief that they had to endure it for an entire week. Sje told Chelsie that she’d need to repent because she wouldn’t fare well in Hell. Leah commented that she needed Midol and Chelsie jokingly asked if she had cramps. 

The Houseguests speculated that some of the cups and items they had been given might be from previous seasons. Kimo announced that the pizza was ready and offered some to the group. Leah fetched water and ice, lamenting that if it weren’t for the high backyard walls, they’d at least have a breeze. 

Looking at the ring toss wall, Leah admired the tiger plush toy and mentioned that it reminded her of her dad’s white tiger tattoo. She wondered aloud if she could buy one with her stipend.

As the afternoon wore on, Leah and Rubina retreated to the balcony for a private conversation. Leah shared that losing Joe had been tough since he had always given her pep talks that helped her stay positive. His departure left her feeling isolated and in a rut, making her want to be alone. Leah confided that she knew Quinn would be evicted when he was nominated, but on that particular day, she was dealing with personal issues and couldn’t talk to Rubina. 

Rubina sympathized, revealing that she and T'kor had been discussing how wonderful it would be if the remaining contestants were all women. However, Rubina admitted that she hadn’t felt safe during the competition, which left her emotional and frustrated. Leah, too, felt the pressure, explaining that she had promised two people safety and couldn’t go back on her word.

1:15 PM BBT Rubina had wanted to flip her vote but couldn’t bring herself to betray her values. She expressed regret for not trying harder to switch places with Angela, despite the difficulty of the situation. Leah sympathized, recalling how Rubina had expressed her desire to win for the Philippines, and said she had understood why Rubina needed the victory. 

Leah told Rubibna she couldn’t throw the competition and had to win it for herself. As they discussed the game’s challenges, Leah acknowledged that the situation was getting scarier as the weeks passed. 

Rubina said the other Houseguests perceived Leah and Angela as untouchable, but Leah wasn’t sure what would have happened if she hadn’t won. Rubina suggested that the narrative around trios could flip now that they were in the jury phase, and Leah she felt like she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. 

2:00 pm BBT Rubina assured Leah she had her back, and that they could make something happen this season. Leah claims when she could, she's protected Rubina. 

 

2:15 PM BBT Makensy and Leah began their one-on-one conversation. Down in the backyard, Rubina told Chelsie and T'kor that she had not thrown anyone under the bus (with Leah). Although she thought Leah might have expected it, Rubina couldn't bring herself to do it. 

Chelsie replied that everyone who had thrown her under the bus was no longer in the House. Rubina said the covering over the yard made the heat worse and that the veto competition would be held outside as well. T'kor added that they were stuck outside all week and she wasn’t doing well.

Makensy told Leah they had painted themselves into a corner. Everyone was hesitant to target T'kor, but that T'kor would definitely put them up. She suggested dealing with this during a double eviction and that Chelsie would protect them.

Leah didn't think Chelsie would protect T'kor. Makensy replied that she wanted two girls at the end. Leah expressed that she couldn't put T'kor up initially because she hadn’t put her up. 

2:50 PM BBT, T'kor quizzed Rubina about her conversation with Leah. Meanwhile, Leah was talking to Chelsie. Leah told her she couldn’t put T'kor up but acknowledged that she had been a consideration during her HoH reign. Chelsie advised Leah that the goal should be to break up the trio.

Chelsie stated that she would not go home over Rubina and offered to help Leah with her speech to explain things to Rubina if necessary. Chelsie also promised support if Leah needed to make a renomination.

Chelsie mentioned that Angela would fall in line with the House and stay for a long time. She said keeping the trio was dangerous and that Leah shouldn't worry about trusting T'kor. Leah acknowledged she had a real connection with T'kor. Chelsie wondered if Kimo left, would Rubina and T'kor would become a pair?

Leah said confidently that after this week, the trio would no longer exist. Chelsie said she was proud at Leah for winning and advised her to stick with the public deal she had made, mentioning that she would use the veto if needed.

3:02 PM BBT, Chelsie stated that she had made no promises to Cam and used her words carefully with Leah and Makensy compared to Cam. She expressed her dislike for the softer game some players adopted. She praised Leah’s performance over the 10 hours, stating that Leah was smart and had won when necessary, and had trusted when needed. Chelsie had rushed to work with others and found it messy.

Leah joked that Big Brother had set up the game purposefull, and that if she had won HoH before now, she would have been like BB20’s Sam and locked herself in the room. Chelsie reassured Leah that she would get another HoH.

Chelsie said Quinn had been a smart player but the girls had controlled the game for the past two-and-a-half weeks. Leah was sad at Quinn’s departure but felt free to pursue her own strategy now. Chelsie hoped Leah understood she wasn’t targeting her, despite being upset previously. They had discussed their issues and resolved them.

3:15 PM BBT, Chelsie noted the clear power structure in the House and hoped it would be dismantled over the next two weeks. Leah speculated about the impact if T'kor used the veto, but Chelsie didn't believe it would not happen.

Leah had been counting items around the House, including 26 Dalmatians and 1,300-2,000 ducks in the pool. She joked with Chelsie about multiplying the ducks' size. Chelsie added that the "Jankie" song had been played around 70 times. Big Brother instructed the Houseguests to dance until the "Jankie" song ended. 

3:33 PM BBT T'kor is talking to Leah, who said she would honor the deal she had made and wanted to hear T'kor’s thoughts. She expressed her love for the remaining Houseguests and how much she cared about T'kor, asking if he had any questions.

T'kor asked Leah about her long-term goals, considering she had lost her closest allies. She assured Leah she wouldn’t have put her up had she won and hoped she would go as far as possible, mentioning that she deserved her HoH.

T'kor said Leah had an observant nature, not talking much but making subtle moves in the game. She admired Leah for never being on the block without relying on alliances and for fighting her own battles.

Leah assured T'kor that she would always be a part of her plan. She emphasized that there was no chance of her being taken out if she had any say in it. T'kor reminisced about Joe and Quinn's desire to protect Leah during her HoH reign and was sad about their departures. Leah praised T'kor's stellar social game,  describing her as a friend she wanted to protect as long as possible. She noted that people were drawn to her and she had made strong connections.

3:40 PM BBT, Leah revealed that she, Joe, and Quinn had discussed T'kor and had no issues with her advancing further. She claimed that Joe and Quinn had wanted T'kor to go farther than them and that everyone felt the need to protect her. 

Leah felt distrusted by the other Houseguests initially but she proved herself when needed. She acknowledged that two people she cared about might be hurt by her decisions, but didn’t want to take away anyone’s dream.

Leah was surprised at Joe and Quinn’s early exit, and T'kor said they should have gone further. Leah planned to support those who supported her and to uplift others. Leah hoped they all would make history together. Joseph and Quinn had allowed her to be herself, though their departure made things harder.

3:50 pm BBT Leah told T'kor she wanted to advance in the game based on her own and not follow anyone else’s strategy. T'kor struggled with social anxiety and her recent unemployment. Leah reassured her that people enjoyed being around her.

T'kor reflected on her vision for the game: If he couldn’t win, she wanted to be part of the reason someone else did. She wanted the winner to represent the season and stand up for their beliefs.

T'kor noted the shift in power dynamics in the House, with six women and two men. She noted that while men dominated the first half of the game, women had taken charge in the second half, highlighting Leah’s treatment of Angela as an example.

 

4:02 PM BBT T'kor spoke about being raised by two amazing women who taught her to prioritize women. Leah joked that she had requested s’mores and held up a marshmallow for ten hours.

4:25 PM BBT Feeds return to show the Houseguests eating ice cream, one of the designated foods for the week along with pizza. Rubina, T'kor, and Makensy were seen going through their duffel bags behind the wall. Rubina was removing her makeup while Makensy prepared for a quick shower in the outdoor shower stall.

T'kor told Rubina that if Leah puts up Kimo next to her, then Kimo would be evicted. They wonder if they can talk Leah into putting someone else up.

5:00 pm BBT Rubina is changing clothes behind a screen and says she is seeing things she doesn't want to see. The Houseguests have a milkshake maker, but Rubina wondered if they had milk. Makensy wishes she could curl her hair, but there are no electrical outlets. Rubina says there are outlets but not that they are allowed to use.  

5:30 pm BBT Leah asks Chelsie if she warned her nominees before the ceremony. Not with her first HoH, Chelsie replied, but she told Angela and Quinn the previous week. Leah notes that Kimo hasn't come to talk to her. Chelsie says he probably knows what is coming and can't change your mind. Still, he should come talk.

Leah complains BB has not given her any information about the nominations ceremony. Chelsie wonders why Julie Chen Moonves wasn't able to do the show last night. Leah says she has a headache from staring at the marshmallow all night. I was finally going to get my own bathroom, she complained, I could finally do #2 in peace. 

Chelsie thinks next week will be a Double Eviction and Leah will be in a good position to win HoH again. Leah responds that she can only count on being HoH this week and needs to take her shot while she can. 

6:00 pm BBT Rubina wants to use the rubber ducks to write SOS in the hopes someone flies a drone over the BB House. Instead, they put lotion on their feet.

8:08PM BBT

We have RCHS on the feeds.

[MamaLong]

8:57PM BBT

still critters on the feeds.

[karene37]

So, now we get to watch them sleep outside half naked instead of inside covered by bathrobes and blankets! Do they think this will boost the ratings? And what the heck is "Jankie"? I thought that was what they were calling Cam's socks!

 

10:30pmBBT The HGs are settling into their cots for the night. Kimo went right to bed after his DR session (before 10:30p and was out right away)

T'kor and Rubina stayed up talking for another hour. Mostly about Angela and how rude she was to make the noms about her even tho she wasn't nominated. How she sneered at everyone. Then kept talking about how hard that comp was for her and she doesn't know how she lasted so long. (It was some kind of endurance comp that involved either holding or staring at a marshmallow, per Leah) And then surprisingly T'kor let out all her pent up aggression against Angela out; how she really disliked her, she was rude, always crying to manipulate people in HOH and making up stories. She hoped Angela was edited in a way so when she watched it back she could see how poorly she behaved and maybe feel some sort of remorse and seek to change her ways. She then said she just wanted to tell her sometimes to shut the F#@* up! (I was a little shocked to see how much she really disliked Angela and was keeping it all inside,k) She said she was going to try to have a talk with her to try and get her to see how badly she behaves and how rude she is and will do it in a nicer way, of course. She proceeded to say she will not give Ang her phone # and she is never going to Utah, after the show she never wants to see her again. Rubina just nodding in agreement with all of this. T'kor finally says she doesn't want to talk about Ang anymore or she won't be able to sleep!

They do some ADLs and move a cot away from the pack for Rubina who wants to be as far away from Angela' snoring as she can be! They get a couple of sleeping bags and Rubina goes to bed on her cot while T'kor takes the half moon couch.

12:30amBBT Cam gets woken up to go to the DR as Leah comes out. She hugs the girls and they all go to bed. Leah tells Rubina she might get called to the DR.

1:00am All is quiet in the backyard, except for Angela's snoring.

[Fuskie]

11:25pm BBT T'kor scoops ice cream in the kitchen, cleaning up after herself as she rinses the scoop and puts the container back in the freezer. She seems to be enjoying a quiet moment of solitude. Rubina joins T'kor and asks what flavor the ice cream is. They discuss how hard it is because it's frozen, and Rubina mentions they should have milkshakes tomorrow. T'kor responds, "It’s veto tomorrow." 

Rubina reflects on her future self, saying that this Big Brother experience is life-changing no matter what happens. T'kor snuggles Rubina as they continue their conversation. Rubina confides that she was disappointed in herself last night but feels proud of how much she's pushed herself in the House. T'kor offers her warmth and support as they share a quiet moment of reflection. 

While most of the Houseguests are asleep on cots, T'kor and Rubina stay up, continuing their discussion. T'kor says she doesn't want to be selfish, and Rubina reassures her, stating, "You never could be selfish." Rubina took pride in what she and Kimo represented in the game. Even if they don’t last in the House, they will continue representing those values outside. She asks T'kor how she’s doing. T'kor responds is concerned about being seen as selfish, but Rubina quickly dismisses the idea.

11:33 PM BBT T'kor says she could never nominate Rubina. If given the chance, she would have nominated Chelsie and Cam instead. Rubina appreciates that her nomination affects T'kor emotionally. T'kor is frustrated that Leah has forced her to choose between Rubina and Kimo, a decision she finds unnecessary and inconsiderate. She wishes people would take others’ feelings into account when making decisions.

T'kor continues to share her feelings with Rubina: She likes everyone except two people in the House. She reflects on how comfortable they were last week but now realizes they are running on "borrowed time." T'kor praises Rubina for remaining her bubbly self despite being on the block, commending her for showing viewers that she’s here to prove herself and stand for a cause.

Rubina, clutching a plushie, talks about how few options Makensy had when making nominations, while T'kor laments how much it sucks that people are targeting Rubina and Kimo for the block. Rubina, however, understands the reasoning behind it.

11:45 PM BBT T'kor dislikes watching alliances and deals on Big Brother, particularly when Leah made a deal during the HoH competition after eight hours. Rubina didn’t last long enough to be part of the deal.

T'kor questions why Cam made a pact with others in the House and is frustrated Angela doesn't realize she is at the bottom of the House. Rubina agrees, describing Angela as someone who doesn't listen.

T'kor criticizes Angela for portraying herself as an “older inspirational woman,” arguing that it’s not truly who she is. She worries about how Angela might be edited on the show, particularly given how she gave up during a recent competition. She continues criticizing Angela's self-centered behavior, contrasting it with Cam and Chelsie, whom she respects for the way they tell their stories. Rubina adds that their shared identity as people of color (POC) helps them understand each other better.

11:52 PM BBT T'kor continues her criticisms of Angela, focusing on how poorly she handled being HoH and how she wants to see Angela deal with this week. Rubina yells out in agreement, predicting that Angela will make the week all about herself. The discussion shifts to Angela and Leah’s insensitivity. They discussed their endurance during the HoH competition without considering others’ feelings. Rubina thought the same thing.

T'kor bluntly calls Angela a "big fat baby" and complains about the insensitivity of other Houseguests. She notes how Angela cries every time she's on the block. Rubina says Angela rubs her the wrong way as well. T'kor wants to call Angela out and speculates that Angela would target her if she had the chance. Rubina reassures her that she would be fine if she goes up on the block.

 

11:55 PM BBT T'kor hoped that when Angela watches the show back, she would realize how poorly she handles situations. Rubina agreed, likening Angela’s behavior to that of a child despite being an adult. T'kor went further, saying Angela isn't worth wasting her breath on, and Rubina echoed the sentiment, stating she values her time and energy too much to give it to undeserving people. However, T'kor mentioned she wouldn't ignore Angela, while Rubina reassured her that they were still good people despite the challenges.
