Big Brother 28: Counting The Votes In Week 1
Tomorrow is our first eviction of the Big Brother 28 season. The initial votes are often pretty standard, but the BB Block Buster has made things a lot less predictable in the last few seasons. This season’s trajectory may be similar. We could already have a split vote.
It’s only week one and our first Wednesday with live feeds, but these houseguests are playing hard. Week 1 feels like Week 8. They’re not just thinking about this week, but steps ahead. It could be a critical vote and set the tone for Big Brother 28.
Scenario One: Ashley wins BB Block Buster – Taylor & Yash Final Noms
This seems to be the scenario that’s ideal for many of the houseguests, except Yash and Taylor. They want to both remain in the game and work together. However, Dee and her allies now want to pull Ashley to their side. This would allow them to make a bold statement and show sides this early. This is also the scenario that seems the most straightforward in terms of votes.
Votes to Evict Yash: Melody, Lyric, Mallory, Rome, LaTrice, Barrett, Jason, Drew, Chuk, Haley, Kamu, Angela, Ashley, Devens.
Votes to Evict Taylor: No one currently, but it could shift overnight.
It may not be a unanimous vote, but fairly close to one in this scenario. The houseguests think that Yash has more of a competition-winning potential, so they want to remove him first. However, Angela, Devens, Dee, and others want to weaken LaTrice and Jason. Therefore, there is a chance they decide to vote out Taylor, but we don’t think there are enough votes currently for her eviction. Dee and crew would have to start planting those seeds, and they could do that tonight. Additionally, Melody has spoken about wanting to take out Taylor to pull Jason and LaTrice’s loyalty to her side. We have to see if the house commits to voting out Taylor over Yash tonight.
Scenario Two: Yash wins BB Block Buster – Taylor & Ashley Final Noms
This situation seems set as well. Dee and her allies decided to evict Taylor or Yash over Ashley. I expect the votes to potentially split, but Drew has already talked about pulling Melody to his side as a number. She also seems to want Taylor out to gain new allies in Jason and LaTrice. She has also shown signs of not being fully committed to her trio with Lyric and Mallory. She could vote the opposite of them this week.
Votes to Evict Taylor: Drew, Barrett, Devens, Angela, Haley, Chuk, Kamu, Melody
Votes to Evict Ashley: Mallory, Yash, Lyric, Rome, LaTrice, Jason
Dee and her crew don’t seem to want the vote to end in a unanimous or mainly unanimous way in this scenario. Therefore, they have no plans to inform everyone of their decision to vote out Taylor over Ashley. They want the sides divided. Melody will be the key to whether it’s a split vote or 8 to 6 one. Melody could vote out Taylor because she does see the potential of pulling Jason and LaTrice to her side, but unless Melody lies about her vote, this move could make the six left out of the vote immediately distrust her.
She would have to basically commit to the ones she voted with at that point. If the vote ties, Dee has said she would vote to keep Taylor. Probably because it would expose too much if she boldly picked a side. Ashley isn’t locked in with anyone, so easier to vote her out without much repercussions. That’s also why Dee wants to keep her as someone to work with as a number.
Scenario Three: Taylor wins BB Block Buster – Yash & Ashley Final Noms
Yash really needs to win the BB Block Buster. He is the player most in danger of leaving this week. Everyone sees him as a threat and someone who could work against them, but he has a slightly better chance of staying next to Ashley.
Votes to Evict Yash: Drew, Barrett, Angela, Devens, Melody, Lyric, Mallory, LaTrice, Jason, Rome, Chuk, Kamu, Haley
Votes to Evict Ashley: Taylor
Yash is a little harder to predict in terms of votes because the general consensus is that he must go if he ends up remaining on the block. However, who exactly votes to keep him is a little unclear. It could be unanimous, or a few may think Ashley goes over everyone and try to vote her out.
It’s shaping up to be an interesting first week, especially with the first vote possibly ending in a tie. These scenarios represent the way the house is leaning currently, but as always, things change quickly in Big Brother. Who do you want to see win the BB Block Buster this week? Who do you want to see evicted for Week 1 of Big Brother 28?
