Did Dee and Devens Make a Huge Mistake Evicting Mallory — and Is Medieval Times About to Become Another White Locust Disaster?

🚨 MALLORY AURICHIO IS OUT OF THE HOUSE — AND SHE IS NOT HIDING HOW SHE FEELS! 😱🔥 After Dee Valladares blindsided her own newly formed ally and Rick Devens helped push the target onto her, Mallory left Big Brother 28 by a brutal 6–2 vote and immediately began unpacking exactly where she believes everything went wrong. Her harshest criticism is aimed at Dee, whom she blasted over the promises that convinced her she was safe, while she continues to identify Devens as one of the smartest and most dangerous players remaining. But Mallory’s biggest concern may actually be about what happens NEXT. With Big Brother shutting down the Live Feeds and replacing the normal HOH-Veto-Blockbuster cycle with the mysterious Medieval Times twist, Mallory is hoping CBS has not created another White Locust-style instant elimination capable of wiping out someone’s entire game in minutes.

Key Takeaways

• Mallory was evicted from Big Brother 28 by a 6–2 vote after Drew won the Blockbuster.
• Dee nominated Mallory despite the two recently joining the Mosh Pit alliance.
• Mallory said Dee had repeatedly reassured her that the alliance’s Final Seven was secure.
• Mallory’s post-eviction descriptions of Dee were extremely harsh, while she characterized Devens as smart and a legitimate winning threat.
• She also believes Drew damaged his game by choosing the Icons over his previous allies.
• Mallory hopes Melody Morris or Barrett Pfeiffer can capitalize on the fractures she left behind.
• Big Brother has suspended the usual HOH, Veto and Blockbuster structure during the Medieval Times twist.
• One additional Houseguest will leave before the next normal live eviction.
• Mallory’s White Locust comparison is significant because that BB27 twist eliminated Rachel Reilly immediately without a conventional nomination, veto or vote.
• The Medieval Times result could determine whether Dee and Devens’ decision to eliminate Mallory strengthens the Icons — or unexpectedly destroys them.

Mallory Aurichio may have left the Big Brother house crying.

She did not leave quietly.

After weeks of positioning herself against the veteran Icons, Mallory ultimately made the decision that may have doomed her game: she trusted them.

The newly formed Mosh Pit appeared to offer security.

Dee.

Devens.

Angela.

Mallory.

Melody.

Barrett.

Drew.

For Mallory, that structure seemed strong enough that she reportedly felt comfortable throwing the Week 7 HOH competition to Dee.

Why fight desperately for power when somebody inside your own alliance is about to win it?

Then Lala won the Veto.

Dee needed a replacement nominee.

And everything changed.

Mallory went up.

In her post-eviction interview with Parade, Mallory explained why the move infuriated her so much. Dee had not merely allowed Mallory to assume she was safe. According to Mallory, Dee repeatedly reinforced the idea that their Final Seven was real and that alliance members would not be used as pawns.

That is why Mallory’s reaction became so explosive.

She had already emotionally moved herself into Week 8.

Then Dee pulled the floor out from underneath her.

And Mallory has not exactly softened her opinion outside the house.

When Parade asked her for a one-word description of Dee, Mallory chose “liar.”

That may be one of the biggest problems Dee faces moving forward.

Big Brother is not simply about eliminating threats.

It is about eliminating them in a way that does not destroy your ability to win their jury vote later.

Mallory is not yet confirmed as a juror based solely on her eviction placement, but the emotional damage Dee created illustrates a broader danger.

How many people can Dee betray before the résumé stops looking impressive and starts looking unnecessarily personal?

Rick Devens presents a different problem.

Mallory clearly recognizes how dangerous he is.

She told TV Insider that Devens is extremely smart and said she believes he could win if he reaches the Final Two, while also acknowledging that his gameplay has placed an increasingly large target on him.

That assessment is revealing.

Mallory is angry about what happened.

But she is not pretending Devens is playing badly.

Quite the opposite.

She sees the threat.

And apparently she saw it for a long time.

People reported that Mallory’s analytical background as a rocket scientist helped her identify the three returning Icons — Angela Murray, Dee Valladares and Rick Devens — as a dangerous power structure capable of controlling the game.

Her mistake may have been recognizing the danger and then temporarily agreeing to work with it.

Devens exploited that window.

Once Lala removed herself from the block, Devens reportedly pushed the argument that Mallory would eventually come after the Icons anyway.

Why wait?

Dee took the shot.

Mallory left.

But there may have been collateral damage.

Drew Campbell.

Mallory said after her eviction that she felt betrayed by Drew, though she does not appear interested in carrying that anger into their post-show friendship. Strategically, however, she believes the vote could come back to haunt him.

That may already be happening.

Drew survived because he won the Blockbuster.

But Mallory believes he has attached himself too tightly to the Icons, joking that he has effectively become an “Icon Junior.”

The danger for Drew is obvious.

Angela, Dee and Devens have their own histories and relationships.

If the numbers shrink, where does Drew actually rank?

He may believe he has entered the inner circle.

Mallory clearly believes he is disposable.

And then Big Brother detonated the entire normal game structure.

Immediately after Mallory’s eviction, Julie Chen Moonves revealed the unprecedented Medieval Times twist tied to the show’s 1,000th episode celebration.

The remaining Houseguests are being sent thematically back to the year 1000.

There is no conventional HOH.

No traditional Veto.

No BB Blockbuster.

And before the next regular live eviction, somebody else’s game will end.

Even more dramatically, the Live Feeds were shut down for three days, leaving viewers unable to watch the twist unfold in real time.

That is where Mallory’s White Locust concern becomes incredibly interesting.

Big Brother fans remember exactly what happened last season.

During BB27’s White Locust twist, Rachel Reilly — a former winner who had survived two months without being nominated — was suddenly forced into a timed competition chain.

She failed to finish her challenge before the clock expired.

That was it.

No campaigning.

No eviction vote.

No Power of Veto.

Rachel’s game simply ended.

The twist became highly controversial precisely because a player’s carefully constructed social position could be erased almost instantly by an unusual competition.

That appears to be what Mallory fears happening again.

And the irony would be enormous if it happens to one of the Icons.

Dee and Devens just spent significant political capital getting Mallory out.

They exposed Mosh Pit.

They angered Melody.

They complicated Drew and Barrett’s positions.

They removed somebody who openly wanted to target the returning players.

Then production introduced a twist that may not care about any of that strategy.

Imagine Dee entering Medieval Times and being eliminated without anyone ever voting against her.

Or Devens.

Mallory would probably have quite a reaction watching from home.

There is also Angela.

Mallory has been far warmer toward Angela personally than toward Dee, but Angela remains part of the same veteran structure Mallory repeatedly identified as dangerous.

If Medieval Times removes one Icon, Mallory’s eviction could suddenly look much less valuable.

Dee and Devens would have destroyed one alliance only to lose part of their own immediately afterward.

But if all three Icons survive?

Then Mallory’s warning becomes even more ominous.

They would emerge from the blackout with Mallory gone, another Houseguest eliminated, and fewer numbers standing between them and the finale.

Mallory may no longer be inside the house.

But her read on the game is about to receive an enormous test.

She believed the Icons were positioned to steamroll.

She believed Drew made a mistake getting closer to them.

And she feared Big Brother’s mysterious Medieval Times experiment could resemble the brutal White Locust twist that erased Rachel Reilly’s game in an instant.

When the doors finally reopen and the Medieval Times victim is revealed, we may discover whether Mallory left the house one move too early — or whether Dee and Devens just made a ruthless decision that clears their path straight toward the end.

So did Dee and Devens make the winning move by cutting Mallory before she could strike — or will the Medieval Times twist deliver exactly the kind of instant karma Mallory would LOVE to see?
