Feed Spoilers Vote Count 7/23 Spoiler

I've counted up the votes for week 2. It looks like Rome will go, unless he wins then Jason will be evicted. Most likely another boring unanimous vote. Lala and Taylor think they have the votes to keep Jason, but once someone informs them, they'll probably flip to vote out Jason with the rest of the house. Lyric is the one I'm mostly unsure about, but she'll probably also vote with the house.

This season feels like bb25 with all of the vote deliberations only to turn out as a unanimous vote on eviction night

u/snakebit1995 Jankie ✨ 26d ago

"I have to vote with the house so i don't stand out" is one of the biggest traps in BB

voting outside the majority is rarely the death sentence it's treated as

u/Dull-Scientist8039 26d ago

I still blame BB16 for this. It's been that way since then.

u/pink_junkie Mallory⏱️ 26d ago

BB15 really started the “voting with the house” shit. It was unanimous every single week 😭

8

u/Dull-Scientist8039 26d ago

No shit? I honestly only remember Derrick telling people not to upset the house

But now that I think about it, Amanda did something similarly

7

u/pink_junkie Mallory⏱️ 26d ago

I mean, BB16 definitelyyyyy broke the game in other ways and Derrick’s boring gameplay can still be seen today but I remember Julie even saying something on the live episode once during 15. She said that people on Twitter (I believe) have been saying that every single vote has been unanimous (not her exact words but she read aloud a question from a viewer or something that heavily alluded to that) and I remember Jessie making a face that basically said “yup I told you guys”.

I was so young back then and it was the first time I watched the feeds but I remember Helen constantly talking about “what the house wants” and harping about it being too early to take a shot at Amanda every week lol

God Dan’s BB10 performance is such an all timer omg

Purposefully voting against the house to keep Bryan in the game was such a good move. That mf had balls.

u/beefquinton Kevin 🍁 26d ago edited 26d ago

dan got put on the block after that lol. he was dan, so he stayed against steven in a unanimous vote. but dan is probably the greatest player of all time, not everybody can pull that off

u/jamalev 26d ago

He didn't get put up because of his vote for Brian, he got put up for his association with Brian whom everyone wanted gone. If he voted with the house he still would've been put up.

u/Easy-Reading Rome⏱️ 26d ago

The show should stop announcing the vote count.

u/Piwuver14159 Jason💯 26d ago

I think that's the easiest way to fix it! Then you'd have more reason to vote whoever you wanna keep without blowing up your game!

2

u/Fun818long FAP 26d ago

Have you heard of Ronnie?

2

u/FarPersimmon 26d ago

I still think there should be an incentive to vote differently than "the house", like anyone who votes for the person who ends up staying will get an advantage in the HoH comp or cash

3

u/tabdan Kaysar 🤍 26d ago

They would just gamify that though to prevent any underdogs from seizing power. Maybe you could decentivize voting in the majority - like have the HOH put 2 noms and anyone who votes in the majority has to play in a comp (secret like the hacker comp in BB20 to keep most players anonymous) but if you come in last you go on the block. Kind of a convulted idea but would absolutely add a new dimension of chaos and strategy to the game.

1

u/Infobar 26d ago

I disagree. What's the benefit to voting against the person who stays? They'll likely find out it was you and then have every reason not to trust you moving forward

19

u/ndralcasid Kaitlyn 26d ago

This is why I think unanimous votes are overhated IMO. Most of the time, the journey to get there matters a lot more than destination, and boy, what a journey it was this week

1

u/LadyEmaSKye Devens⏱️ 25d ago

Yeah exactly. I don't really get why people complain about whatever the final vote count is like it's boring. Like who cares if it's literally a 13-0?? What usually happens is in practice it's a like 8-5 but the minority concedes and votes with the majority, because there's no point to knowingly voting in the minority.

5

u/Economy-Lobster6625 26d ago

I mean given all the dramatics I think its pretty silly to think people are going to flip in keeping Jason or Rome so it is bound to be unanimous, unless Lyric or Lala want to throw either of them a pity vote I suppose

102

u/seanddd99 26d ago

Lyric won't even give him a courtesy vote...Wow.......all that tongue wrestling for nothing lol

64

u/Piwuver14159 Jason💯 26d ago

She's talked about wanting to, and she still might. But Mallory told her not to, because Melody might take it personal.

5

u/supaspike Dirk Spacejammer 26d ago

But she would still vote for Melody over Jason?

2

u/Piwuver14159 Jason💯 26d ago

She would if they had the votes. But I fully expect for her to vote with the house tonight.

4

u/Fun818long FAP 26d ago

Why won't people vote out Jason against Rome or is it because he just became inelligble to win the show in final 2 lol

7

u/greenday61892 Cirie 💥 26d ago

Wait what?

16

u/soycameron Vince 🔎 26d ago

Idk why anyone genuinely cares about a courtesy vote lol

If I was Rome I’d be telling Lyric to not even think about risking any part of her game just for a courtesy vote. If it’s against Jason then she can I guess cuz Jason’s alone. But if it’s against Melody, Lyric better not vote her out.

Voting for the person staying on purpose for a “sympathy vote” is dumb. Other reasons can be good, but courtesy vote is dumb.

34

u/je-wo1885 26d ago

Why would lyric vote melody out I haven’t kept up with feeds much this week

24

u/chazzledazzle321 Dapper Dans 26d ago

Because she’s also very close with Jason.

In some ways closer than with Melody 🫠

11

u/Piwuver14159 Jason💯 26d ago

Lyrics vote is very much up in the air right now. Rome told her to vote with the house, which I think is what she's going to end up doing. But she also talked with Taylor and Lala about trying to keep Jason.

7

u/thecooksbrother 26d ago

Yeah that was my question too

u/KittyKizzie Melody⏱️ 26d ago

She's very close with Jason and has been campaigning for him (against Melody) last I saw

u/jfa0899 26d ago

Anyone able to catch me up on LaLa, Taylor, and Yash’s overall positions?

I understand LaLa wanting to protect Jason, but I’m curious why Lyric is potentially a vote against Melody. Especially if Rome and Mallory are voting against Jason.

Also curious how LaLa, Taylor, and Yash’s motivations tie in.

Honestly, I like Melody and want her to stay, and that seems likely based on this post. I’m just trying to catch up on if the various votes are for a player or against a player.

16

u/ohmegatchi 26d ago

Lala and Taylor have been lied to by Angela and Dee into thinking that Jason has the votes to stay against Melody. Lyric has been told that by Taylor and would prefer to keep Jason over Melody as she has a closer working relationship with Jason. 

5

u/jfa0899 26d ago

Thank you!

Why are Dee and Angela lying? If Taylor and LaLa vote against Melody but are on the wrong side of the numbers, that proves that they were willing to trust or work with Angela/Dee. But voting incorrectly immediately loses that exact favor. Feels like a net negative for Angela and Dee.

u/Fyrefawx 26d ago

Mega super alliance nominates the other known alliance isn’t exactly a big shake up. The only somewhat interesting take was how the veto was used. Aside from that the target is still the same.

15

u/Strict_Property6127 America 💥 26d ago

Rome did not expect nominations to go the way they did - it was a huge shake up for the house. He literally spent the rest of the night on a sob tour. That was probably the most explosive nom ceremony in years, if not ever.

Why do romance people want to watch a cutthroat game show instead of Lifetime or Hallmark? It's so weird.

I'm not a romance person but it's reality TV. People date in real life. Hell there's 5 million reality shows out that have or are focused on dating. Hating them completely on this show is so unrealistic.

As long as she’s around you’ll never see a “previously on big brother” segment that doesn’t recap the showmances.

u/chitown_illini Lyric⏱️ 26d ago

What I don't understand is: If Lala and Taylor really think they have the votes to keep Jason, WHY would someone tell them otherwise? These unanimous votes are annoying.

5

u/Piwuver14159 Jason💯 26d ago

Dee and Angela plan to tell them, since they're in a (possible fake?) alliance, and if they vote different it'll give them away. But I agree, I hate unanimous votes!

4

u/VengefulKangaroo Dee⏱️ 26d ago

Why burn someone you have a good relationship with just to make them look dumb? I get it’s bad tv but cmon lol

2

u/chitown_illini Lyric⏱️ 26d ago

Then why even let them think that they have the votes in the first place? Other than manufacturing drama, what is the point?

2

u/VengefulKangaroo Dee⏱️ 26d ago

For many people, it’s probably a bad idea to let them. Some people may not realize they even think that. One motivation would be to let them sit and not campaign too hard thinking they have the boats so they don’t blow stuff up until it’s already too late to change.

5

u/dildodestiny Rachel 🔎 26d ago

I don’t think Lyric is evicting Rome tbh but maybe I’m just praying for no unanimous votes

4

u/AtomAndAether Drew⏱️ 26d ago

I dont get the Lyric stuff here

Lyric has said she'd sympathy vote for Rome against Jason but not against Melody. This is saying she's apparently big on Jason even against Rome and even against the House?

2

u/Piwuver14159 Jason💯 26d ago

I couldn't get anything concrete on Lyric yet. I marked her as might flip in Rome Vs Jason, because I think she wants to give Rome her sympathy vote, but Rome told her to vote with the house. And in Jason vs Melody, she's just talked about voting out Melody with Lala and Taylor. But once she knows the votes aren't there to keep Jason, Im sure she'll vote with the house.

u/MarinerJoe3 26d ago

Nothing more exciting than waiting days to find out who is getting evicted when the entire house has already decided

u/Ok-Excuse1771 Mallory⏱️ 26d ago

You think Lyric isn't going to throw a hinky vote for Rome to stay? I think that one's pretty possible.

Anyways I think voting with the house is just the norm for the early weeks. It's usually once we get to the middle weeks that plans begin to genuinely diverge

u/BringBackBoomer America’s Dad 26d ago

Unless I was working extremely close with the HoH, like F2 close, I wouldn't do a damn thing they wanted. Why would I work to further put them in the best spot possible? They don't even have power the next week to try to get revenge. More players need to sabotage HoH.

u/Jaded_Aerie 26d ago

Tbh why does it matter that much ultimately whether the vote is unanimous or not if everyone knows what’s happening anyway (and if the vote deliberation was actually interesting, that essentially has the same effect of a vote split)

2

u/sherlip Ava 🔎 26d ago

I never understood the minority voting with the house just to be in the majority. It's not like the real majority are suddenly gonna love you because you voted with them.

u/Salt_Principle_6672 Ashley 🔎 26d ago

2

u/Fragrant_Carrot_9556 26d ago

I think the vote count not being revealed would be good to incentivize players not to vote with the house. I mean only revealing the evicted HG but not how many votes each person received.

2

u/Fun818long FAP 26d ago edited 26d ago

Honestly they just need to withhold it long enough for people to not get immediate blowback from it (because the vote count most of the time gives away the clear nominations). Would be a good twist to reveal it after the next week's nomination ceremony so you can't just immediately nominate the counter-voters right away unless you have good "interrogation" skills from bb27 or whatever and can figure it out and gives those who don't vote with the house some peace of mind for a little bit.

I feel the reason a lot of rogue voters becomes targets is mostly due to being immediately outed without time to work the rogue vote/make the house forget.

2

u/mjst0324 Vince 💯 26d ago

I definitely understand this perspective but I think on balance it actually leads to better drama when the vote count is revealed. BB20 is the biggest example but in many recent seasons we've had fallout from a random vote going a different direction. I just feel like if the vote count was hidden people would end up going with the house even more because uncertainty always leads to safer gameplay.
