Hey Big Brother fans! So, it seems like Tucker Delorier might have overplayed his hand with this new power. If people are paying attention, I think he totally outed himself as the AI instigator. You know, Quen, Kemo, and a bunch of others are scrambling to identify the Deep Faker. There's a bunch of theories floating around the house, but you know I'm going to take you guys through the messages we've seen so far and lay out for you what Tucker did that actually took suspicion off of Angela despite Quen and Joseph pushing that narrative. And Cam has been grilled already this morning, but Tucker has shown his cards if people will wake up and pay attention. I’ll explain.
So, if you hadn't heard, tonight is a 2-hour episode. We're going to see a lot of this AI instigator stuff. You probably saw all the messages I'm going to talk to you about; they should show up on the show tonight. Alison Grodner has got to fill an extra hour of showtime. Also, tonight post-show, the voting opens to decide how much, if any, you think Tucker deserves for his pot-stirring efforts as the instigator. I saw a poll today or yesterday, and it was kind of funny. About 75% of respondents said they think Tucker deserves the full $20,000, but what's funny is the second most chosen amount was zero, but that was a much smaller percentage. So, people are either loving or hating how he's using his power. I’m seeing that polarizing effect on Twitter, in the comments, things like that. Of course, we will find out more from Julie Chen Moonves tonight on how to vote to give Tucker a lot of money, a little money, or none at all. I'm sure it's going to be the same platform that we voted to select the AI instigator.
Alright, so now into the mess of messages that Tucker has cooked up. The very first one you already saw on Sunday's episode, and this one played in the Big Brother house on Friday night. This was the one of Quen saying, the other night, I saw Tucker and Rabina holding hands. Can you say showmance? Pentagon for life! And I think he said maybe one other thing, and that upset Rabina, you know, which definitely threw suspicions off of Tucker. Rabina went off crying, and Tucker later said he felt bad but that he did it so they wouldn't have to hide holding hands under blankets anymore. So, they started showing these messages on the feeds, but between when Quen's played on Friday night and when they started showing them on the feeds on, like, Tuesday, there were either one or two messages that there's not a lot of info about. These one or two should have featured either Kemo or Tucker's avatar. If there were two messages, perhaps both of them.
Kemo did mention on the feeds that these two came almost back-to-back. So that's why I think there's two. One of them said, You can't trust Chelse or Quen, and then something about Tor putting him up. That, of course, sets up McKenzie, Cam, and Tucker, but that would have been post-veto meeting, so it also could have applied to Angela just based on the timeline. Then the other message, which I saw Monday night maybe at around 10:40 p.m., seems to play later in the day Monday after all the veto drama—I can't find this message; I looked everywhere. Hoping we’ll see it in full tonight. There has been some just passing talk that there was some stuff about Leah in this second one and talk about farts. Apparently, that is a reference to Tucker himself. His farts are so toxic that they clear rooms. We've seen that on the live feed, that's fun. So, after the one we saw on Sunday, and then this one or possibly two about Chelsea, Quen, Tor, Leah, farting, big brother decided to start showing them on the feeds.
I wonder if that's 'cause production realized people were not getting engaged in it. I don't know. At least two of these we haven't seen. But the first two or three of these mentioned Tucker, his showmance, and flatulence. Blatant flatulence, apparently. But nobody, not even Angela, had initially even suggested that he was the Deep Fake behind these avatar messages. There is some suspicion about him growing, though, and at some point, based on the house guests' talk, Tucker realized that the other hamsters think these messages may be related to an upcoming comp, and they were wondering if they needed to be memorizing them. So, then he decided to do kind of a listicle thing to make it where he was leaning into the theory of it being related to a comp. But then his own saltiness kind of got the better of him. But here’s the ones we’ve seen on the live feeds.
So, Tuesday afternoon, which was the 27th, Leah popped up and said, If you want dinner tonight, I’m going to need you to pick up a few things from the grocery store. Be sure to write this down: rusted potatoes, carrots, bucket of mayonnaise, a drawer’s worth of nacho cheese chips, and 1.82 lbs of salmon. Dinner will be ready in 19 hours. Don’t forget the canned dog food. So, just dog food is one thing because Tucker talks constantly about his dog. But then, apparently Leah had been saying something about how there’s a lot of good protein in it. And McKenzie said after this that it might be Tucker because he's always hassling her about how much mayonnaise she uses. But Tucker might have meant it to throw suspicions towards McKenzie about the mayonnaise, but since she knows she didn’t do it, you know.
The next message was a McKenzie avatar, and it came a couple of hours after the Leah message. It says, Hey, it’s your favorite Texas girl. Wonder if that was a dig at Brooklyn. Then she said, Little bit of info for you, might want to remember. A purple horse jumped over an orange cat while stars shine bright. Is that Orion’s Belt? I think that was the sum of it. So, he was just throwing in randomness. And again, people were like going back over the message, trying to talk through, trying to memorize it because they only play it once.
Then the next one was from Tor. This was like 4 hours later, around 7ish Tuesday evening. She said, Here’s tips on how to be a fashionista like me. First one: seafoam green sandal paired with a lavender sandal, sunflower colored flowy dress to impress with a cute crop top, some crocheted earrings, and of course lip balm. Don’t forget my favorite accessory, a mustard yellow bucket hat by none other than myself, Teor. Then, maybe 30 minutes later, a Chelsea avatar comes up and says, Angela is my number one target. She'll definitely be going home this week. She doesn’t stand a chance in the arena against McKenzie and Tucker.
So here’s an important note. On Monday, there was the whole veto meeting, and Angela was renamed. Before or after that, there was a lot of Angela versus Tucker stuff, and you know, Angela had tried to get people into this conspiracy to vote him out. We mentioned that in a video; you can check it out on the main page. But Tucker was very salty at Angela. So, to me, this message in particular is a huge red flag to the other house guests that it is Tucker because he was so mad at her. I don’t know how far ahead he has to record these, but he probably was pretty mad when he did it.
Alright, then the next message came like three and a half hours after that, last night around 11:00 p.m. on the 27th. It was Cam. His avatar said, You guys are welcome for stopping Tucker’s winning streak. He's really just a pipsqueak. Then Tucker kind of interrupts and yells, You effing nerd! Then the message continued, By the way, my favorite type of ice cream is orange sherbet covered with red fish gummies dipped in peanut butter. Cam is allergic to peanut butter; he told everybody. This was kind of a lame attempt to throw suspicion off or draw more conclusion that it's comp-based. The thing was, after the Chelsea message where he was talking about Angela, there was a fair amount of suspicion that it was Tucker. That was a big misstep.
There’ve kind of been these elements, and you can listen to it tonight on the show—just that several times, a bunch of stuff seems to point at Tucker, maybe more so than anybody else in the house. Rabina, Kemo, and some others are still today studying these messages. If it is a comp, but I think it was last night, Rabina alone in the kitchen with Tor and was kind of whispering that she suspected it might be Tucker. But then they devolved into more showmance talk with Rabina showing her insecurities. In another conversation, Rabina said it's got to be a guy because some of the descriptive words they used in Tor's fashion message were just more guy words than girl words. Some of the house guests think it might be messages or tweets from fans because they say they're mean and that other house guests wouldn't be that mean to people—which, that's not true. Have they watched Big Brother? Leah and Angela were discussing that but, just to be safe, they’re also studying the messages in case it's a comp.
So in terms of whose avatars that we haven't seen on the live feeds, if you include Quen, and then the ones I just told you about, we had Quen, Leah, McKenzie, Tor, Chelsea, Cam, and I believe Tucker or Kemo—possibly both—were shown because there's either one or two messages that came up pre-live feed coverage. I do wonder if Tucker is going to be required to use every avatar once. If so, I cannot wait to see his Rabina message. By the way, the AI instigator twist ends this week, and voting opens tonight for fans to choose how much money Tucker gets: 0, 5,000, 10,000, or 20,000.
