Power of Veto winner Taylor removed herself from the block at today’s Veto Ceremony. HoH Haley nominated Lyric in her place. Haley’s target is Melody.

Kamu was in the Have-Not room with Devens and Angela before the meeting.

He was pushing for them to keep Lyric.

“Lyric was saying to me she wanted to work with us. She didn’t understand why she was going up when Mallory is gunning for us,” he said.

Kamu then explained that he spoke to Haley and he wasn’t trying to push her or argue with her about Lyric.

“Lyric is trying to work with us because she knows she is on the wrong side of the house. Another person is on the wrong side of the house and is attacking us. That’s the difference. Haley and I got into a bit of an argument about it but we squashed it,” claimed Kamu. He said Mallory’s biggest target is Dee.

“Haley is also certain that Mallory has the power,” said Kamu.

“We’ve gotten so lucky with the Block Busters. It would be just so nice if we got another week,” said Devens.

When the conversation switched to Lyric, Haley had a lot to say.

“Now that her boyfriend and her bestie went home now she wants to work with us?” she laughed.

Angela said they have to be careful of La Trice because she is still very protective of Lyric.

“She told me to put her up,” said Haley.

“La Trice is playing both sides. She was in here with Taylor talking about all the rumours and stuff.

“Interesting, maybe it was the tears?” asked Angela.

“I don’t play the tear game or pull on heart strings. It is a game,” said Haley. “I am sympathetic but if you just did me dirty for over 21 days, I am sorry.”

After the Power of Veto ceremony, Drew told Barrett and Devens that Melody had a big speech she was going to make to Lyric.

“I am like, it is just dumb. Why would you beg someone else on the block to use a Veto on you?” said Drew.

Devens laughed about how Drew went down on his knees during the meeting.

“I was telling Devens I am not going to feel super secure until Thursday,” said Drew to Barrett.

Drew said he is scared of Kamu, Chuk and Haley.

“Haley doesn’t want to talk to me,” said Drew.

In the kitchen, Melody and Taylor discussed surviving this week. Mallory joined the chatter. Taylor and Melody told Mallory they were so happy for her.

“Everyone is walking around here having a great time,” said Taylor.

“Some people think they are playing Big Brother. They are playing Big Vacation,” said Mallory.
