JT Williams — who met Drew Campbell on Beast Games and has run his social media all season — returns to The Exclusive to break down where Drew actually stands going into the Big Brother 28 finale. JT, who has spent the summer fielding the DMs on both sides of the backlash, argues Drew is "definitely not drawing dead," makes the case that taking out Yash in the double eviction was the defining move of the season, and explains what it meant for Drew to be the "kingmaker" between two duos. He walks through the final four and final three comps Drew still has to win, embraces the "weasel" label instead of fighting it, and tells the story of the fake cousin Drew swore on — which was supposed to be "cousin JT." JT also delivers, off the cuff, the final two speech he'd want Drew to give the jury. They close on Drew's America's Favorite odds, what show he does next, and the game show he got flown out for and cut from.
SPOILER WARNING: This video contains major spoilers for the premiere of The Traitors: New Blood, including the murdered player. Kim Daily, the first player murdered in The Traitors: New Blood, joins The Exclusive to break down the night she was taken out and the cover story she spent the whole game protecting. The Houston attorney — who told the castle she was a college basketball coach — reflects on being read as "the brightest light in the room," the three-piece suit that made her stand out in the lineup, and the shield she climbed onto the boat to grab and then left behind. Kim also explains why she thought Joe was "acting mad sketchy" well before the murder, what she saw when the "shadowy figures" appeared in front of her, and how she planned to deflect suspicion onto Michael at the Roundtable.
SPOILER WARNING: This audio contains major spoilers for the latest episode of Big Brother 28, including the eliminated player. Yash Patel, the latest houseguest evicted from Big Brother 28, joins The Exclusive to break down why he has no regrets about winning HOH ahead of the Double Eviction and the deal he took with Drew in the Pressure Cooker. He reflects on the bribe he wanted to "wash my hands of," why he knows "in my bones" he could have outlasted Drew, and how his dad's 12- to 14-hour shifts on his feet at a liquor store kept him standing. Yash also explains why he still sees keeping Dee over Angela as the right call, calling her a "heat-seeking missile," and says that a month from now, his answer to playing again would be "hell yeah, let's run it."
SPOILER WARNING: This audio contains major spoilers for the latest episode of Big Brother 28, including the eliminated player.Barrett Pfeiffer, the latest houseguest evicted from Big Brother 28, joins The Exclusive to break down whether he could have changed any minds before the vote and what he had planned for the double eviction if he had won Blockbuster. The self-described "Mr. Superfan" reflects on how the arrival of Angela Murray, Dee Valladares and Rick Devens changed his game plan, why he would have kept going with "Operation Scorched Earth," and the one thing he would do differently. Barrett also explains why he regrets defending the Icons to Mallory and Melody, and says that if he ever gets the call again, "you best bet I'm going back."
21 years after Big Brother 6, James Rhine joins the podcast for our "Legends Only" series to look back on both of his seasons, from the Sovereign Six to All-Stars. He tells the story of the MySpace message that got him cast, the phone call with Sarah that became his casting tape, and the original partner who backed out three days before the season. He revisits Howie's nomination, the veto decision he would make differently, and why he has never watched that episode. James also shares what Don Wollman told him at the 1,000th episode and the only way he'd go back into the house: as "the old guy" nobody recognizes.
Big Brother 27's Morgan Pope joins Sharon to break down Week 10 of Big Brother 28, from Yash's HOH to the deal he cut with Drew in the middle of a 14-hour veto competition. Morgan, who holds the record Yash is now chasing for consecutive weeks of safety, walks through why sending Angela home over Dee was a "high risk, high reward" call, where Barrett's HOH actually went wrong, and why Drew's "psychological warfare" may be more of a strategy than fans give him credit for. She also lays out what Taylor and Melody each need to do at this point in the game, why nobody in the house is grilling Yash about the bribe, and how she'd have used 14 hours in the pressure cooker to do exactly that. They close on double eviction predictions, which comps are coming, and Morgan's advice to everyone still in the house: "comp out."
SPOILER WARNING: This audio contains major spoilers for the latest episode of Big Brother 28, including the eliminated player.Angela Murray, the latest houseguest evicted from Big Brother 28, joins The Exclusive to break down who she holds responsible for the vote that sent her out and the one decision she would take back. She reflects on her loyalty to Dee, why she never expected to be Rick Devens' No. 1, and the nomination Barrett made because he "thought he had to make a really big move." Angela also explains why "betrayal is a very big word" for where she has landed on Barrett and Drew, and says she would say yes to Big Brother again "every time."
Seven years after Big Brother 21, Tommy Bracco joins the Memory Wall to look back on a season whose gameplay he is still defending. He explains the Christie secret the house never knew about — casting had told them both it would only ever be one of them — and why he gave the secret up at Final Six anyway. He also revisits the blow-up with Jackson and the part that never made air: Nicole pulled him aside and told him she knew Jackson was lying, and he went home anyway, because the house decided he was more dangerous alone than Jackson and Holly were together. Plus: winning HOH on his birthday, 79 days without touching the block, what he learned about unconscious bias after Camp Comeback, the reunion he wishes the show would do, and the jury vote he says he would take back.
