HoH Barrett has drawn a line in the sand. At today’s Nomination Ceremony, he put Devens, Angela and Dee on the block.

After the ceremony there was tension between Angela and Yash. It seems that Dee’s bribe has become public and Yash said something about their being “no love lost” which upset Angela. She claims Yash is a liar.

Dee and Devens hugged Barrett. They both said there is game and there is personal, they aren’t taking the nominations in a personal way.

They also spoke about Yash being the renom if any of the Idols fight their way off the block during Veto or Block Buster.

Barrett played coy with many of the houseguests when he met with them all day long.

Devens was the first one to chat with him alone.

“Nominations today, according to the TV now,” said Devens.

“I was worried I had to do that,” joked Barrett.

“Did you know you have to do that?” Devens laughed.

They then had a laugh about Devens volunteering himself as he did last week.

“I don’t know where my head is at right now,” said Barrett mentioning that he has to put up half the house this week and he is going to make some people angry no matter what he does. “I just have to live with that.”

Devens updated Barrett saying The Crossover hopes it will be Yash, Taylor and Melody on the block, at least that is what they are expecting.

“Are you having a Melody conflict?” asked Devens.

“I cannot say I am even sure of that yet. It is partly a Melody conflict,” Barrett admitted.

Barrett confessed that he felt a “weird vibe” last week and he felt odd that the Crossover questioned his loyalty.

“The mistrust in me was disappointing and I don’t like that feeling,” said Barrett. “I do have to think about my own game right now and this is the last week we are going to have three people to nominate. I probably wouldn’t be playing the best game if I wasn’t a little bit selfish and what is going to put my game forward. When Dee was HoH she did a similar thing.”

Barrett told Devens he was okay and that made him feel better.

Next was Taylor who encouraged him to take a shot at the Icons this week. She advised him to put up two Icons and Drew.

“The best gameplay for you is to keep me, Melody and Yash off the block because you can guarantee those three votes to get out whomever you want to get out,” said Taylor.

She explained that her dour mood is because she misses LaLa so much.

Angela was happy as happy can be with Barrett. She is happy he is won. The week is easy. Melody, Yash and Taylor go up, The Crossover continues into next week.

Yash visited the HoH next. Barrett reiterated that he will anger half of the house this week. Yash is sure that people will not take their nomination to heart as there are so few people now and Barrett has good relationships with everyone in the house.

“I am trying to do what’s best for my game too,” said Barrett.

They laughed about Barrett knowing exactly who Yash wants on the block and who he doesn’t without talking about it.

Barrett asked Yash who he wants out of the house this week.

“It is either Dee or Devens. They run it together. Separating that is good,” answered Yash.

Dee came in next. Barrett led with there aren’t that many people left and he is going to be a little selfish this week putting his game first. Dee encouraged him to do so.

“I am going to support whatever you do as long as it isn’t me,” she said laughing. Nothing Barrett decides will change the way she feels about him as a friend and person. “Don’t worry about Crossover strong. I know we all want to in the bottom of our hearts but do what you have to do.”

After saying she wouldn’t throw anyone under the bus because she loves everyone, Yash needs to go up for his game.

Dee told him about the power she had and that because Yash accepted the deal, he cannot put her, Angela or Devens up on the block.

Barrett asked when it happened.

“All of us were in the room. For your game, you should put him up and I will vote him out,” said Dee. “If Yash wins the next HoH, the only people he cannot put up the three of of us but please don’t tell anyone. I am telling this to you for your game. Keep that in mind.”

Dee detailed the power and how Yash’s agreement is binding.

“What is this power?” asked Barrett.

“A bribe for $5,000,” Dee said.

“To not put three people up?” said a disbelieving Barrett.

“It is whatever was discussed,” said Dee.

When Dee was done speaking to Barrett she gave Angela the lowdown downstairs. Angela suspects that Barrett is lying to them. Dee thinks so as well. She didn’t buy what Barrett was trying to sell at all.

Speaking to Drew, Barrett told him he thinks Dee is lying about her power. Barrett should know by the Big Brother rules though a houseguest cannot use Production as part of their strategy and therefore cannot lie about a power they have if they choose to reveal it.

Barrett isn’t locked in with what he wants to do. Barrett said his choices are between the Icons and Yash.

“I don’t think Taylor is that much of a threat,” said Drew. “Next Thursday will be a double eviction so what is the best chance for us to stay here?”.

Barrett went over last week and how he had really weird vibes with the Crossover alliance but at the same time, he doesn’t want to be the one to destroy that final five.

In her talk with Barrett, Melody pushed for Devens saying Drew sees him as a father figure and won’t betray him himself.
