BB28 Wednesday Live Feed Update July 15, 2026
BB28 Wednesday Live Feed Update July 15, 2026 Big Brother 28 live feeds are all about shifting alliances and a scramble to lock in votes as eviction approaches. Hosted by Taran Armstrong, this recap dives deep into how week one’s power players and floaters are navigating a rapidly changing house. AJ joins to help break down every deal, campaign, and misstep from the July 15th live feeds. Dee takes the reins as the current Head of Household, having nominated Mallory, Taylor, and Yash. After Mallory secures the Veto and saves herself, Dee puts Ashley up as a replacement. The eviction target is in constant flux, with Ashley unexpectedly drawing attention as a potential eviction, even though she started as a pawn. The vote still threatens to become split, with houseguests aligning and realigning at every turn. Notably, paranoia is running high, fueled by rumors of a supposed gym alliance meeting and by shifting alliances like the “crossovers” (Dee, Devens, Angela, Drew, Barrett) and Red Corner adding and dropping allies as trust wavers. Dee and Barrett’s growing closeness could shift both their positions in the alliance structure, and AJ points out this pairing is raising suspicions across the house. Drew is playing with fire, gathering and leaking information to multiple groups—a tactic Taran describes as risky and likely unsustainable. Angela’s paranoia over a rumored alliance meeting in the gym cascades into major strategy shifts, sparking the crossovers to rethink their priorities and solidify keeping Ashley over Taylor or Yash. AJ highlights how some houseguests (like Kamu and Haley) capitalize on this paranoia to forge a Red Corner/crossovers hybrid, quietly uniting the numbers against floating targets. A funny moment: Taylor accidentally drops a tray of champagne glasses in the dark before a birthday celebration, bringing some comic relief to a tense day. The conversation focused on whether the newly formed hybrid alliance will stick together and if Taylor or Yash will find a lifeline in the shifting sands—or if Dee’s group has finally learned how to pull house votes from behind the scenes. Will these power brokers make the right call, or are they headed for disaster as eviction approaches? Tune in for the full recap and see who’s shaping up as a BB28 kingpin—or a casualty.

Host Taran Armstrong and guest Maggie break down the live feed action, focusing on game moves, social dynamics, and the fallout from recent developments.

Strategic leaks become a hot topic when Drew tells Dee, Rick, and Angela about Jason’s secret plans against the veterans, leading to trust issues and new alliance worries. Angela feels on the outs after realizing some of her closest allies may have played her, while sparks fly between Lyric and Rome, adding another layer to the alliance puzzle. Taran explains how Jason’s oversharing with Drew backfires, causing Drew to spill secrets that reshape house dynamics. Maggie warns about Jason telling allies he “controls” others, pointing out this puts players at risk. Angela’s reaction to learning about Jason’s deception takes center stage, as she starts to doubt where people really stand. Lyric and Rome’s showmance and Lyric’s lawyer confession have Melody and Lyric plotting their ideal group and questioning who fits. With Ashley and Taylor on the block, uncertainty reigns as houseguests float between alliances, keeping options open.

BB28 Monday Live Feed Update July 13, 2026
BB28 Monday Live Feed Update July 13, 2026 Big Brother 28 brings big moves as alliances shift and eviction plans pick up steam. Host Taran, joined by Brian Scally, recaps day six in the house on this Live Feed Update. The tension is high as HoH Dee has to pick a replacement after Mallory wins Veto, and the house scrambles to figure out where the votes will land. Dee first nominates Mallory, Taylor, and Yash, but when Mallory wins Veto, Dee leans towards putting up Ashley as the replacement. The reasoning centers around the original premiere challenge groups, but there’s plenty of pushback and debate about which nominee should actually go. Taylor works the house aggressively for promises and support, while Ashley becomes more active in her gameplay after being warned she’ll likely hit the block. The vets and their close allies—the “crossovers”—focus on making “parachute” alliances by picking non-vets to be their public allies and decoys, while new groups like Mama’s Angels (Rome, Jason, LaTrice) form on the opposite side. In the middle, Kamu and Chuk are strategizing how to keep shields in place and manage the gender numbers. Taran points out Taylor’s direct approach in locking up votes and how it could backfire or cement her status. Drew pitches the parachute strategy, getting Barrett to link with Mallory as a public duo. Dee shares her dislike for Haley and takes a risk by leaking info to Rome, which could expose her. Jason keeps pushing the anti-vet agenda and questions production’s edit, hoping to swing others his way. The target keeps moving between Taylor, Ashley, and Yash as alliances and motives shift throughout the day. With the replacement nominee still pending and red corner alliances disagreeing about who to evict, can Dee’s crew keep control or will the power start to slip? Catch the full breakdown to hear exactly how the game is shifting in the Big Brother 28 house.

BB28 Roundtable Week 1
BB28 Roundtable Week 1 Each Monday night, Taran Armstrong (@ArmstrongTaran) and Melissa Deni (@itsmelissaaa) will be joined by a rotating guest to discuss the past week in Big Brother 28. After running down all of the latest advancements, they’ll rate and rank the houseguests to update the weekly Stockwatch. Big Brother 28 opens with the house trying to figure out who to trust, as alliances shift and the first nominations set the stage for early drama. On this Round Table episode, Taran Armstrong and Melissa Deni are joined by Aysha Welch (Survivor 47, Perfect Match Podcast) as they break down Week 1 moves, shifting social ties, and the chaos of a crowded house. The team recaps Dee Valladares’s first HOH reign, discussing how Dee nominates Mallory Aurichio, Taylor Brown, and Yash Patel, before Mallory wins Veto and saves herself, leading Ashley Trail to be named the replacement nominee. The hosts explore the strategy behind Dee’s picks, noting her goal of choosing nominees from each competition group to keep heat off herself. The Crossovers alliance (Angela Murray, Barrett Pfeiffer, Drew Campbell, Rick Devens, and Dee) dominates popularity polls, while smaller alliances and connections, like the showmance between Rome Seymour and Lyric Medeiros, offer possible shakeups. Tensions spark when Angela Murray’s distrust of Jason De Puy grows due to leaked information, putting alliance unity to the test. Dee Valladares balances two alliances by making nonthreatening nominations, helping her dodge early backlash. Melissa Denny highlights how Crossovers members top popularity rankings and control house dynamics. Aysha Welch compares the week’s uncertainty to walking into a party where everyone’s still figuring out their social circle. Mallory Aurichio’s Veto win leaves the house split between sending home Yash Patel or Ashley Trail. With Dee’s HOH earning record high praise and the Crossovers running the early game, the house’s next steps could flip the balance. Will Dee’s careful approach carry her through the next week, or will a new HOH spark a shift in power? Catch the full episode with Taran, Melissa, and Aysha for more strategy, rankings, and in-house stories. 00:00 Big Brother 28 Roundtable Begins 08:15 Dee Valladares’ HOH Choices Explained 10:33 Nominee Veto Shakes Up Week 1 16:06 Crossovers Alliance Strength Revealed 23:32 Angela Murray Versus Jason De Puy Brewing 29:42 Telling Secrets: Drew’s Risky Move 34:06 Showmances and Week 1 Popularity 45:09 First Episode and Feeds Ratings 52:07 Dee’s HOH Reign Breaks Records 59:50 BB28 Player Ratings Kick Off 01:15:40 Dee Valladares Dominates HOH Week Never miss a minute of RHAP’s extensive Big Brother coverage!

BB28 Saturday Live Feed Update July 11, 2026
BB28 Saturday Live Feed Update July 11, 2026 Big Brother 28 kicks off with alliances taking shape and uncertainty swirling around the first nominations. Host Taran Armstrong delivers a detailed recap in this first Live Feed Update of the season, walking through the opening days on the live feeds as Dee Valladares takes the first HoH, immediately putting the spotlight on house social divides and rookie gameplay. The episode dives into how Dee Valladares earned HoH and nominated Taylor Brown, Mallory Aurichio, and Yash Patel, highlighting the fallout among houseguests. Dee spreads out the risk by nominating one person from each original team. The house’s shifting sand becomes more obvious as alliances begin to form but remain unclear, and players like Haley Thogmartin and Kamuela “Kamu” Kirk face suspicion for spending lots of time in the HoH room. Mallory Aurichio emerges as a likely target according to some, while Yash Patel and Taylor Brown look to keep safe by playing under the radar. The trio of Mallory, Melody Morris, and Lyric Medeiros is flagged as a potential threat, while Melody quickly distances herself from Mallory to avoid becoming a target herself. Social capital and perception already play big roles, with players like Barrett Pfeiffer, Angela Murray, and Drew Campbell sitting in strong but subtle positions, while Rome Seymour and Lyric Medeiros spark the season’s first showmance.

Amazing Race Canada: Season 12 Premiere Recap
Amazing Race Canada: Season 12 Premiere Recap Ten teams of racers are on the journey of a lifetime, and your TARCan experts are hot on their heels to recap each and every episode! This week, Jess Liese (@haymakerhattie) and Dan Heaton (@thedanheaton) discuss the Season 12 premiere of TARCAN. Amazing Race Canada returns for Season 12, Episode 1, and Jessica Liese and Dan Heaton jump right in to dissect the first leg’s biggest moments, highlight key strategies, and debate the impact of new twists. The duo brings their perspective as seasoned fans to examine everything from the season’s energetic team introductions to the much-discussed changes in gameplay. The episode takes listeners through the rapid-fire premiere, where ten teams arrive in Whistler and are immediately tossed into classic race chaos: digging through snow, detour dilemmas, sponsorship challenges, and a thrilling mountaintop task. Jessica and Dan break down the return of the Desjardins Assist and the surprising “everyone gets an Express Pass” twist, weighing how these developments shape the game’s early strategies. They dig into standout team dynamics, like how a team used their Express Pass to avoid dancing, what happened when a cab driver took an impromptu lakeside lunch, and the impact of sponsorship tasks. Both hosts analyze whether teams made the smartest choices with their Express Passes and which newcomers could become breakout stars. The ripple effect of every team receiving an Express Pass and how the “one per task” rule shapes race strategy Teams weigh risk vs. reward when stuck at difficult detours, deciding when to spend their Express Passes Memorable roadblock moments, including contestants battling their fear of heights and making last-minute decisions to avoid elimination The role of sponsorship tasks, like the Moana sailing challenge, and their influence on leg outcomes Lighter moments, from a driver taking a lakeside lunch to debates about the reality of ski-dancing as a Whistler tradition As the competition heats up with fresh format changes and colorful cast dynamics, the big question remains: who will use their Express Pass to maximum effect, and which teams might regret holding on too long? Catch the full recap and strategy discussion to get ready for all the twists this season has in store. 00:00 Welcome Back: Season 12 Begins 06:40 Express Pass Twist Announced 13:39 Express Passes Change the Game 19:08 Detour: Dance or Untangle Lights 26:01 Teams Struggle at Moana Sailing 33:08 Express Passes Used Back-to-Back 38:53 Thrill Task: Heights Challenge 45:55 Non-Elimination Shock at the Mat 56:00 Superfans Tina & Liz Dominate 01:03:02 Sibling Teams: Sacha & Sébastien Rise 01:11:07 Community Questions and Final Thoughts Race on over to Twitter to follow these hosts and share all of your thoughts with us on Twitter by tagging @RobHasAPodcast and using the hashtag #RHAP!
