“rob is the best traitor.” 4/6 people at final 7 suspected rob, and he only won bc maura was brain dead. at final 7 (s1), NO ONE suspected cirie, she had no advantages, and everyone trusted her the MOST. there was NO scenario in which she lost. they’re not comparable #traitorsus

We needed her there to tell Jenna you’re not supposed to break hold 4 times in the middle of an international standard tango and get away without a point deduction #dwts

9:10 PM: Devens plays with Juju and the gang (her plushies). Jack builds legos in the basement while he waits to watch a movie with Devens. Becca gets ready for bed. Gary chews a bone. Izzy is resting on a giant bean bag. The cats are in the DR (presumably). #bb28

Everyone is still blaming the powers the Icons got, but I think the bigger reason Devens, Dee and Drew got so far is because most of the other players never learned how to PIVOT.

Instead of using the Icons to their advantage, they spent too much time being mad they were there, then mad when they won comps or got powers.

And let's be real, besides the DPOV, Dee's bribe power was considered SHIT. The internet laughed at it. Yash literally declined it. Then Dee took that same power and made it valuable. That wasn't being handed an advantage, that was smart gameplay.

And the whole “Icons vs. the newbies” thing? Dee and Devens WERE newbies to BB. Angela was the only returning BB player. Survivor is a completely different game, and Dee and Devens had to adjust too.

Oh, but hey! They got voted for powers because of their followers!! It was so unfair! Okay, let's look at that. Devens had 113K and Dee had 183K on Instagram. Jason had 196K and was already a reality TV star, while Lyric had 600K+ on TikTok and 400K+ on Instagram. They easily could've been voted into the Time Capsule too. But they weren't. Why? Because viewers didn't think they'd actually DO anything with it.

Let's not forget that America also voted for Drew, Mallory and Melody, who all had less than 2K followers. The point is, if you want America voting for you, give them a reason to.

And THAT'S where the gameplay comes in.

Instead of having the “us against the Icons” mentality and crying that it's unfair, use them to your advantage. Use them as shields. Let them protect you. Build relationships. Keep your options open. Build several alliances. Then strike when the time is right.

Mallory had potential, but she got stuck in the “us vs. the Icons” mindset. She didn't need to work with all of them. Build something with Dee, Devens, even Angela on the side. But she refused to and blamed them instead. Even Hayley knew what she needed to do to play.

Then you have Barrett, and yes, at least he tried. But he struck too soon, then after taking the shot, sat in his HOH room and seemed to assume everything would go his way. A diehard BB fan should know better. You don't make the big move and then sit back. You WORK. Talk. Check votes. Keep people close. Especially when you've been working with them and already know how they play.

Drew understood that. He built relationships with them, and even when it hurt him at times, he knew how to use those relationships to his advantage. Barrett could've been right there with him, but his ego got in the way. He was so proud of himself for taking the shot that once he made it, he basically froze. He didn't keep working to make sure the move actually happened.

So yes, powers mattered. But some of these players spent way too much time focused on what other people had instead of figuring out how to use those people, powers and relationships to help their OWN game.

It's a lot easier to blame the Icons than it is to admit you let them play while you sat back and watched. #BB28 #BB28Finale #BBCrossovers

Maturing is realizing that they saved us all from a Yash and Kamu steamroll #bb28

The Icons! #BB28 #BigBrother #BigBrotherBuzz

Me when I cut an iconic survivor woman for no reason and lose the game for it #bb28 #survivor51

[Derrick Levasseur @DerrickL]

Survivor might be where your heart is, but make no mistake about it... you were built for Big Brother. Congrats Devens. #BB28

[Gia Worthy ❤️🖤💚 @classicallygia]

We got an Amazing Race player that won Survivor, a Big Brother player that won Amazing Race, and a Survivor player that won Big Brother.

The prophecy is complete 😌 #BB28 #Survivor #AmazingRace

[Dee VallaSlays @DeeVallaSlay]

Finally Dee gets her flowers 😭 #bb28

[Sharon Tharp @sharontharp]

Love her or not, Dee fucking PLAYED this game. She’s flawed. She made missteps. Sometimes she got lucky. The Icons had a leg up in many ways. But that doesn’t negate the fact that she PLAYED. And I truly didn’t think she could impress me any more after her #Survivor win. 👏🏻👏🏻

[Angie @AngieRealityTv]

If she does well on the traitors she’s easily in the debate for reality tv competition best of all time and I’m not even kidding. #TheTraitors

[Big Brother Bitez 🔊 @BBBitez]

Dee throws a pillow at Devens and his Red Bull spills all over his shorts

[Josh Martinez Defender @supertrouper92]

Dee is Latina. A Latina has NEVER won Big Brother so her winning would also be amazing representation. #BB28
