We'll see.

I- I'm gonna give her an eight as well just because of the conversations that I'm seeing her have, like I was seeing her have, like, right before we came on here.

The fact that she is pulling, she's been pulling in Drew so close for the last few weeks, and really getting into his head about, you know, taking him away from Devin's- On top of the alley-oop that kind of like Melody gave her, telling Drew like, "You have to cut Devens.

Everybody thinks that you're Devens' pet." And Melody telling Drew to take Dee, which we never thought would happen.

Um, I think Dee, to me, is the most socially competent out of the final four here.

I think she really does, like Terren said, have the mind-mel to like push her agenda into other people's heads, and make them think that what she is doing is best for their game.

Um, so even if she might not be...

Mm-hmm

So I am gonna give her an eight, but like the, we'll see.

I- I'm gonna give her an eight as well, just because of the conversations that I'm seeing her have, like I was seeing her have like right before we came on here.

The fact that she is pulling, she's been pulling in Drew so close for the last few weeks, and really getting into his head about, you know, taking him away from Devin's.

Mm-hmm

[laughs]

Yes.

[laughs] Yep.

Sure am.

Um, but like, it's one of those things that because of this blockbuster era, we're at a final six where everybody has won a comp except for Melody.

People have won multiple comps here.

And unfortunately for Yosh, and Taylor as well, who is now in, like, th- a horrible position going forward, um, like, the, the wrong person for them won on the right day.

Mm-hmm

[laughs]

Yes.

[laughs] Yep.

Sure am.

Um, but like, it's one of those things that because of this blockbuster era, we're at a final six where everybody has won a comp except for Melody.

Mm-hmm

[laughs]

... [laughs] is that he too is kind of burning Drew, so much so that again we hear Drew kinda saying that he would, he, now it, it is a final three of Drew, Barrett, and, uh, Melody, that he would pick Melody over Barrett.

Um, so, uh, I don't think Barrett is handling Drew so well, but hopefully if, um, Devyn's ends up going this week, again, Drew has no choice but to get in lockstep with Barrett and Melody.

Um, so but it's just like this hold that the icons have on Drew is just so strong.

Mari, what about you?

Well, uh, you can find me over on Blue Sky @maritalkstoomuch.

That's too like the number two.

Uh, you can find me every week on Crime Scene, where me and K- Sarah Carradine break down true crime, um, documentaries and docuseries.

Yeah.

Uh, but they, it, they just showed how hard, they, they, they showed how hard it is to replicate what they did, because it only took one.

Only one of them had to be the one to be like, "Oh, no, I'm gonna just go with Sarah Beth," or-

Yeah.

But the fact that they did it for the bigger cause, knowing, "Look, we've never had an opportunity where six Black people have been in the house at the same time for, in order to ensure that we can get our first Black winner of proper US Big Brother-"

Yeah.

Um, Taylor has been a little bit frustrated how throughout the game she, uh, she's been tied with Lala, and I think a lot of that came out in the nomination speech because she's sitting here trying to figure out, "Why am I being nominated?"

Mm-hmm

... jumping out, and he's like giving a running script.

So it's so easy for them to plug it and play.

Like we've seen Dee cam talk, but it's more like her talking to herself and just kind of like-

The primaries.

The, oh yeah, and the primaries.

I forgot about the primaries.

Yes.

So it's like, but sh- you can have eight million alliances, Angela, but Taylor can't.

Taylor can't have one alliance.

Taylor can't go and lay in her bed because you guys, she doesn't feel like participating with you guys, because every time she does, like she says, she gets closed out.

... is kind of the, the end of this.

The primaries.

The, oh, yeah, and the primaries.

I forgot about the primaries.

Yes.

So it's like, but sh- you can have 8 million alliances, Angela, but Taylor can't.

Taylor can't have one alliance.

Taylor can't go and lay in her bed because you guys, she doesn't feel like participating with you guys, because every time she does, like she says, she gets closed down.

... is kind of the, the end of this.

Yeah.

Yeah, so yeah, exactly.

So hopefully no more heavy puzzles, and it's a lot, a lot fairer.

Um, and I would definitely say that if, if, what the, what the vets do, if, if they are able to, um, to diminish or weaken Kamu's, um, standing within the house, like he did with Jason during the Tea Party, Tea Party 2.0, that'd be great.

Um, you have players like Taylor, who has shown that she's actually very flexible and can really, like, um, jump ship [laughs] in a sense.

Yeah.

So hopefully everybody who's listening, uh, is subscribed to Recap Kickback.

Go to recapkickback.com to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Yeah.

Yeah, so yeah, exactly.

He's not.

Yes.

Yes.

But then Drew comes in.

It's a very awkward...

It's very awkward to us, 'cause we know what's happening, but Drew and Barrett are lying through their teeth, telling Drew he's good.

And at this point, you can tell Drew is getting nervous.

But at the same time, I just feel like Dee is doing so well, and she now has this power, so I'm gonna stick with my seven.

He's not.

Yes.

Yes.

But then Drew comes in.

It's a very awkward...

Pop on over

How about over there? Yeah, yeah.

And, and she probably has a whole bunch of other coverage on Recap Kickback.

Uh, but like we've said before, I'm also [laughs] the co-host of the Crime Scene Podcast.

Me and Sarah Carradine, we, we review true crime documentaries, docuseries.

So, um, basically, uh, if there's a documentary out, a true crime documentary out, we watch it, we tell you our perspectives about it, um, mainly, uh, how it's produced, how the documentary laid out the information, um, how was the victim centered, stuff like that.

And then we rate it, and we tell you if we, uh, recommend it.

[laughs]

There's places to go for it.

There's links.

Yeah.

So...

First season on Netflix, Easy Watch.

Me and Chappelle also are currently almost finished up with our House of the Dragon, our Hot D coverage, which has been so fun.

We just had a guest on last night for our last episode, Camille AF, for a very big episode.

And like he's liking posts about all of this stuff It's not like Following a bunch of different ministers And then some of them say that stuff But like he's actively engaging In that content

Uh, but I'm not gonna vote to keep Mallory."

This was, like, very interesting to me in a sense of, like, it was, it was...

Taylor, everything we saw up until this point, Taylor was like, "We have to keep Mallory.

We have to keep Jason.

Strategically, this makes sense.

Da, da, da, da, da, da." And she's b- she's telling Yash, like, "Strategically, it makes sense.

We need to pick Ma- we need to save Mallory.

... "He needs to go."

Uh, but I'm not gonna vote to keep Mallory."

This was, like, very interesting to me in a sense of, like...

It was, it was...

Taylor...

Everything we saw up until this point, Taylor was like, "We have to keep Mallory.

We have to keep Jason.

Strategically, this makes sense.

... "He needs to go."

But Mari, had you done any podcasting before that?

So it's kind of funny, right? The short answer is no.

But the long answer is I was trying to get into it.

So it was around 2016 that I was introduced to the RHAP community.

And I started listening to their Big Brother coverage, their Survivor coverage, all that stuff.

And I was like, man, I talk a lot.

I think I would be really good at podcasting.

Yeah, Mari, go for it.

Yeah, yeah

... because it's like, this is Love Island.

This is what it's supposed to be.

It's supposed to be like actual real relationships.

I think everybody got so used to Friendship Island last, last year and people, like, exploring and, and, and just hopping, bed hopping and stuff like this.

So people are supposed to create connections, but they are supposed to test them, and they can test them, but these people are not testing them right.

[laughs] Like, it's like, it's this, it's a horrible balancing act that apparently nobody can, um, really, uh, manage because I, I think of Alandria and Jalen versus Kenzie and Caleb.

Can I, can I kiss?

Yeah, yeah

... because it's like this is Love Island.

This is what it's supposed to be.

Time, time kiss?

I might need to play

a game.

He...

No, he used to do it where it's like, if you follow me within the next few days, you'll be entered to do this.

His fans will come out and play challenges, like Victoria said.

He is...

he is well known and as much as I hate twists and I hate celebrity endorsements and stuff out of all the other ones Billy, Zach Brown, Jimmy Fallon he probably brought the most eyes to Survivor and he actually did something that I'm actually sure that he actually thought of like I'm 100% certain that he actually came up with this actually does like Survivor and all of that Now, the problem is, if this had went the other way and Devens had flipped that coin and got out, all of this would have been anticlimactic.

Cause I thought that was lost.
