So it looks like Zach is going up?
And apparently he has the votes to get evicted, at least that is what everyone told Devin.
Well, let's have some perspective on what they're telling Devin.
First off, they don't want to get put up to be replacement nominees themselves. So they're going to tell that big lug anything he wants to hear.
Secondly, he's under the mistaken impression that Brittany intends to honor the deal they struck yesterday so he's counting her as a vote. We know that's not the case.
Thirdly, as of right now Zach has effectively quit on himself in the game and given no indication of deviating from that course. Nobody in that house - even his allies - will keep him in the game if he remains on the path he's taken over the past 36 hours. If Zach rights himself - and I honestly don't think that he will - then we could have a legitimate battle on our hands this week instead of a landslide vote (or a DOR) and filler.
Lastly, if Zach doesn't bow out gracefully during tomorrow's veto meeting but instead elects to blow up the Bomb Squad that will radically change the dynamic of the entire house and their thought process in terms of who to send home. Trust in the game will be called into question within existing alliances in the house. Will Nicole still trust Christine? Will Brittany still trust Derrick?
A lot of people also don't know that Devin asked Pao Pao to throw a Battle of the Block competition (effectively making her poison for anyone nominated with her in future weeks) and that he also brokered deals with Victoria, Brittany, Hayden and Nicole solely to save his own hide.
Devin and Caleb aren't even on the same page any more as Caleb has a fundamental issue with Devin breaking the trust of the alliance instead of sticking to the plan. Once the Bomb Squad blows up, all of the dirty laundry in terms of the stunts Devin has pulled that have been kept sealed tight within that alliance will become part of the public domain. The dynamics of the house will drastically shift and it's quite likely that the war we were expecting to see unfold between Jump Street and the Devin/Caleb/Frankie power circle will actually become a war between Devin and Caleb/Amber.
So any promises of people voting one way or another way will change completely once Devin's power in that house ends tomorrow after the veto ceremony. He has no vote this week barring a tie. And an HOH comp on Thursday which he can't participate in and Caleb will probably be coming for him instead of fighting to protect him.
How this all plays out largely revolves around whether Zach decides to go out quietly or go out "guns ablazing" as he's been promising he will. If Zach goes out quietly, I can see the remnants of the Bomb Squad sticking together and continuing to pick off the stragglers. If not, anything could go down so long as Devin remains in that house.
