Dee and Devens Plot to Oust Drew, Calling Him a Threat to Their 2-Side Game

Q: Will Drew's past on Beast Games make him the ultimate target for the powerful Red Corner alliance?

Yes. Right now, Drew looks like the Red Corner alliance’s most likely near-term target, but the reason is more his current Big Brother positioning than his past on Beast Games. The reporting shows Dee and Rick Devens actively discussing how to make Drew the house target, arguing that he is dangerous because he appears to be playing both sides, could turn on them later, and might expose alliance plans. Angela echoed that he would stay a target no matter where he aligned. Separate live-feed coverage also says Haley nominated Drew because she no longer trusts him and believes he is working the middle. Drew’s Beast Games background may add to the perception that he is media-savvy, adaptable and comfortable under pressure, which can raise suspicion in a game built on trust. But there is no clear evidence in the available reporting that Red Corner is targeting him primarily because of that résumé. In fact, some houseguests have noted that Drew has not won much competitively so far, suggesting his immediate threat level is being judged more socially and strategically than by challenge record or outside fame. The bigger factor is alliance math. Red Corner and the veteran-heavy power structure appear to control the house, and Drew’s cross-house relationships, especially his ties outside the core, make him an easy focal point. Unless someone mounts a real counterpush, his Beast Games past is likely just a supporting narrative, not the main cause of why he could be sent home.

Q: Can Melody successfully secure her safety, or will Taylor's refusal to commit seal her fate?

Melody still has a path to safety, but Taylor’s refusal to commit makes that path fragile and, based on the broader house dynamics, unlikely. The strongest evidence from the feeds is that the house has been moving toward Drew as the main target, not Melody. Multiple conversations show Dee, Devens and Angela actively discussing why Drew is too dangerous to keep, and outside reporting says Mallory explicitly told Melody that Drew was the target. That gives Melody a real opening if the anti-Drew numbers hold. Still, Melody’s plan depends on a very specific coalition: Mallory, Barrett, Drew, Taylor, La Trice and Yash. That is a narrow margin in a house where people are hedging. Taylor is the biggest uncertainty. She would not promise Melody her vote and said she may simply “go with the house,” which means she is likely waiting to see where the majority lands rather than leading a flip herself. That matters because Taylor appears to be a potential swing vote. Additional spoiler chatter even framed Taylor as decisive in this week’s math. If the house solidifies around evicting Drew, Taylor’s hesitation may not matter and Melody survives. But if numbers wobble late, her unwillingness to lock in could leave Melody exposed. Right now, Melody’s survival looks more dependent on the house continuing to view Drew as the bigger strategic threat than on her own vote-whipping. Taylor alone probably does not seal Melody’s fate, but her refusal to commit makes Melody’s safety far less secure.

Dee and Devens agreed to start planting seeds against Drew, weighing whether to push him out before the next vote.
Drew’s danger, they said, is his willingness to "go wherever he needs to go to survive"—jumping between sides, exposing allies and potentially blowing up their plan if he feels cornered.
Dee also floated the opposite case for keeping him: if they flip to the Red Corner, Drew could still serve as a number while remaining an obvious house target.
The debate unfolded as vote counting continued elsewhere in the house, with Melody trying to line up support and Taylor still noncommittal on how she would vote.
