Mallory Aurichio Blasts Dee, Devens After 6-2 Big Brother Eviction

Q: What exactly sparked the intense, game-ending conflicts between Mallory and Dee's alliance on Big Brother 28?

The blowup was sparked by Mallory realizing that Dee Valladares’ side never saw her as an equal ally, but as expendable numbers. The immediate trigger was the formation of the seven-person “Mosh Pit” alliance, which included Dee, Rick Devens, Angela Murray, Drew Campbell, Barrett Pfeiffer, Mallory and Melody Morris. Mallory and Melody came to believe they were actually at the bottom of that group. Reports from the feeds show they noticed Barrett sharing private conversations with Dee and then learned that Dee, Devens and Angela had already been working closely with Barrett and Drew. That made Mallory feel the alliance was not a true merger, but an existing power structure pulling her in for convenience. The strategic split between Mallory and Dee also deepened the conflict. Mallory later said Dee wanted allies to openly separate from people Dee viewed as threats, especially Yash Patel and Taylor Brown. Mallory rejected that approach, arguing that just because she worked with Dee, “your enemies don’t have to be my enemies.” That disagreement over loyalty and information-sharing appears to have turned distrust into open opposition. Personal friction then made the game rupture harder to repair. Mallory was seen criticizing Dee’s gameplay and even questioning how Dee won Survivor, while Dee and her allies increasingly targeted Mallory and F.A.P. as threats. Once Drew sided with Dee, Devens and Angela and voted Mallory out, the conflict effectively became game-ending.

6-2 was the vote that sent Mallory Aurichio out over Taylor Brown, and she said Dee Valladares and Rick Devens were the main reasons her game ended after 52 days.
Aurichio called targeting her a bad game move, said Drew Campbell's vote upset her but she would not hold it against him, and added she does not want the Survivor recruits to win.
10 houseguests remain, and Julie Chen Moonves said they now face a Medieval Times-themed twist with no HOH, Veto or Block Buster.
Aurichio said that format worries her because it could resemble last season's White Locust twist, which sent Rachel Reilly home without an official vote, though she hopes allies Melody Morris and Barrett Pfeiffer stay safe.
