Evening Update: Final Three
Thursday night. Dee is out. Taylor, Drew, and Devens are the Final Three. No Head of Household. The finale is Thursday, October 1.
Thursday night, September 24. Dee Valladares is out. Taylor Brown, Drew Campbell, and Rick Devens toasted a Final Three. Week 13 has no Head of Household, no veto, and no nominees. The finale is Thursday, October 1.
The board. Week 12 is closed. Taylor had the key. Drew had the medal and used it on himself. The final nominees were Devens and Dee. Drew cast the only vote. Dee is out. Week 13 is empty on purpose. Three remain: Taylor, Drew, Devens. Part 1 and Part 2 have not started.
What you already have. Monday is Evening Update: Down to Four. Tuesday morning is Morning Update: Drew and Dee Sit. Wednesday is Afternoon Update: Drew Has the Veto. Those notes stop before the meeting. This one is the meeting, the vote, and the jury clip.
The episode. The two-hour show opened at 5:06 on Melody leaving after the pharaoh's curse. That eviction is already on the board.
Head of Household, 5:31. A vampire face puzzle, themed to Eternally Yours, which the episode said starts one week after finale night. Watch a sequence, name the vampire, build the face. Drew solved Jason and advanced. Taylor advanced. Dee fumbled the puzzle and was done. Taylor rang in wrong once, fixed one piece, rang in right, and won. Drew was multiple pieces away. 5:45, Devens handed her the key. She is in the Final Three, and she plays the Final Three Head of Household competition.
5:54, she nominated Drew and Dee. 5:56, her speech: this is the one Head of Household that has nothing to do with what she wants to have happen. The table date said September 24, 2027. The comp flashed October 8, 2026. Those are time-trip dates. The night is September 24, 2026.
Veto, 6:06, Meow Meow Labs. Toilets, day wheels, three errors and out. 6:11, Dee's third error, Jack the Ripper, day 24. 6:17, Devens's third error. 6:20, Drew locked Day 40 and won. Taylor put the medal on him and welcomed him to the Final Three. His Diary Room: fifth time off the block, and a finale spot.
6:27, the gym. Drew, in tears, on the phone Melody used. He tells her he won the veto, he made the Final Three, he wishes she were there, and he is choosing between Devens and Dee. He knows what she would do. He does not know if he could do it. That is him talking to a phone. It is not a ceremony.
The pitches, on the episode, labeled talk. Dee told Drew that if Devens stays, Devens wins, and she laid out votes Drew cast because of Devens. Drew said he thinks he loses to all three of them. Devens said there is no world where Dee and Taylor take him to the Final Two, and he guaranteed he would take Drew. He said Drew can win because Melody, Barrett, and Yash will be on Drew's side, and that even with similar competition wins, Drew does not have the icon advantage. Drew's answer: taking Devens out would be his big move. He would be the new Devens, not the guy doing what Devens wants.
6:43, Julie in the living room. Drew stood up and took himself off the block. 6:44, Devens sat next to Dee. 6:45, Devens: Taylor and Dee are getting closer, he will take Drew to the Final Two, and it sucks that Drew has to make the call. 6:46, Dee: she is proud of how far Drew has come. He can win. He will not if he sits next to Devens.
6:47, Drew cast the only vote, for Dee. 6:49, the speech. Devens is his Big Brother dad. Dee is his Big Brother big sister. He is standing in front of two Survivor legends and Big Brother icons. In the words of Jeff Probst, the tribe has spoken. 6:52, Dee got the news, hugged them, and went out the door.
On the way out, her words. 6:54, she thought Drew had a killer instinct and made the wrong decision. She thinks Drew loses now. 6:56, she would have taken Devens to the Final Two, and she thinks she would have lost to him. 6:57, which show was harder: Survivor is nonstop paranoia. Big Brother is planning several steps ahead.
Champagne at 6:55. Drew could not pop the cork. Devens did. They cheered. Julie closed the show.
The jury house. 5:16, before the veto, LaLa and Angela setting a board. LaLa wanted to see Melody, then talk about Melody's move. 5:17, Barrett walked in. Angela said she knew it. This is what happens when you put us up. Yash came in right behind him. LaLa and Angela were shocked. Barrett was jumping.
5:19, LaLa asked Yash if the $5,000 he took was a good idea. He said nope, but he had to take it or he would have gone up. That $5,000 is Dee's bribe. It stays the bribe. 5:20 is a different deal. The jurors watched Yash and Drew as the last two in the Pressure Cooker, Drew winning, and Yash said he had made a deal with Drew. LaLa asked why you would trust Drew. 5:22, Yash said Drew has a good resume and could get his vote in a Final Two. Then he rolled the tape of his own exit: Melody's Head of Household on the double, Devens's veto, Yash out by way of Drew.
Melody's arrival aired at 6:58, under Dee's interview. Angela went off. She called Melody a coaster. Melody said Angela did the same thing: "She's calling me a coaster when she did the same thing." Angela told her to shut up, and then told her to shut the fuck up. That is the clip. It is not a jury count.
Right now. 7:10, feeds returned. Taylor in the main backyard. Drew and Devens in the outer bedroom. 7:13, Devens hopes the animal rescue gets a hundred dollars off his speech. 7:17, Dee's picture grayed out. They were talking votes. Drew said Dee will be his cheerleader and that he will have Angela and LaLa. Devens said they have to win to stand at the end and plead, and that the jury will be salivating to vote Taylor. Drew said that would be heartbreaking. Talk. Not a count.
No Part 1. No Part 2. No new key. Older seasons often ran Part 1 the same Thursday night. A habit is not a schedule. The updates have not placed either competition. The usual shape, not a locked plan: Part 1 and Part 2 before finale night, Part 3 live on October 1. The winner of that one is the last Head of Household and picks the Final Two. Nobody has won one.
October 1. Hamsterwatch's remaining list, which matches the published end date:
- Friday, September 25 is not a regular episode.
- Sunday, September 27, 9:30 PM Eastern, 6:30 PM Pacific, one hour. What is in it is not locked.
- Wednesday, September 30 is off.
- Thursday, October 1, 8:00 PM Eastern, 5:00 PM Pacific, 90 minutes. Same live slot as tonight. That is the finale.
Three people. Two competitions still ahead. One week to October 1.
