## Transcript

[0:00] Speaker 1: Welcome to the Big Bro Club. The first ever Big
[0:03] Speaker 1: Brother Draft. Me and Chase, just like how it was
[0:07] Speaker 1: at the start of this whole thing, just me and
[0:09] Speaker 1: Chase drafting against each other, trying to see who's the
[0:13] Speaker 1: better reality TV analyst and am I am? I frozen? Okay? No,
[0:17] Speaker 1: I'm good now, Nope, you're good, You're good, You're good?
[0:19] Speaker 1: All right?
[0:20] Speaker 2: Uh yeah, And I mean historically you've been always a
[0:23] Speaker 2: lot better at.
[0:23] Speaker 3: This than me.
[0:24] Speaker 2: Yeah, but maybe Big Brother is my game. Maybe Big
[0:27] Speaker 2: Brother is the one where I'll swoop in and dominate.
[0:29] Speaker 2: You know, it's possible. I don't think it's gonna happen.
[0:32] Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna win again, but it is certainly possible.
[0:35] Speaker 2: Welcome everybody to a Big Bro Club. This is our draft.
[0:38] Speaker 2: So how it's gonna work. I'm gonna spin this wheel.
[0:40] Speaker 2: It'll decide who gets a draft first. We're gonna go
[0:42] Speaker 2: back and forth drafting players.
[0:46] Speaker 1: Yes we are.
[0:47] Speaker 4: And U.
[0:48] Speaker 2: I mean he's been teasing it on our show all week.
[0:51] Speaker 2: But I think the Mastermind is gonna show up at
[0:53] Speaker 2: some point and have a twist.
[0:55] Speaker 1: I'm not looking forward to it. I gotta I gotta
[0:58] Speaker 1: read on that dude's aura and it's not good. Yeah. Yeah,
[1:01] Speaker 1: it's green and it's green and bad. That's what that's
[1:09] Speaker 1: my takeaway. I read his aura. So whatever twist he has,
[1:13] Speaker 1: all right, let's do it.
[1:15] Speaker 3: All right, And and I usually got to take my
[1:17] Speaker 3: word for it.
[1:18] Speaker 1: Yeah, Chase notoriously has to pick last all the time.
[1:23] Speaker 3: First I have, of course.
[1:25] Speaker 1: I do not. Even in a one on one. Can
[1:28] Speaker 1: Chase get the first pick? It happened to their Yeah,
[1:33] Speaker 1: the first time we ever did this, Chase had the
[1:35] Speaker 1: first pick, and since then he has never had it again.
[1:39] Speaker 1: In fact, he's picked last. He's picked last in the
[1:43] Speaker 1: past five drafts include if you include this one that
[1:46] Speaker 1: Chase has participated in, Yeah, he never gets first, dude.
[1:50] Speaker 1: So that means I'm on the clock.
[1:55] Speaker 4: But he's got a twist with his dwraft mar choosing.
[2:02] Speaker 4: If you guys are which world it is, you'll have
[2:06] Speaker 4: to snap picks.
[2:10] Speaker 1: Oh god, I don't like that. What if it's the
[2:13] Speaker 1: first round? What if he messes up my first round pick?
[2:16] Speaker 1: I would be curious, all right, But I'm on the clock.
[2:21] Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna You're on the clock. No more
[2:23] Speaker 1: interruptions from the mastermind. Trying to ruin my game. Okay,
[2:29] Speaker 1: since I'm first. Look, it's kind of like it's no, no,
[2:34] Speaker 1: it's I'm gonna do kind of what you did in
[2:37] Speaker 1: the Survivor draft. I'm taking Ava. I'm taking I have
[2:41] Speaker 1: to take the Aura Painter. She's my favorite. Everything she
[2:44] Speaker 1: does is hilarious. If I didn't have her on my team,
[2:48] Speaker 1: I'd be upset. There might be people that I think
[2:50] Speaker 1: are more strategic or could go farther because of their
[2:53] Speaker 1: personality type. But I just like Ava too much to
[2:57] Speaker 1: not take her first.
[2:58] Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's I think that's a great pick.
[3:03] Speaker 1: So you're up.
[3:04] Speaker 2: Dang, dude, who am I going to take? I think
[3:07] Speaker 2: I'm going to take Riley first?
[3:11] Speaker 1: Okay, Benson Boone Moonbeam Riley?
[3:21] Speaker 3: All right, you're up, dude.
[3:23] Speaker 1: That's all the commentary we're gonna do on Riley is
[3:25] Speaker 1: Moonbeam Riley. Take it off? He okay.
[3:31] Speaker 4: Uh.
[3:31] Speaker 2: The reason I the reason I picked Riley is because
[3:35] Speaker 2: we get a We get a line in one of
[3:37] Speaker 2: the episodes this week where someone said everyone likes Riley,
[3:40] Speaker 2: everyone loves Riley. Seems like Riley gets along with the
[3:43] Speaker 2: girls who have the numbers. Right now, he flipped to
[3:46] Speaker 2: join them. I think he's in a good spot for
[3:48] Speaker 2: the foreseeable future. So that's why I'm picking him.
[3:50] Speaker 1: First, if that makes sense, And I get to pick
[3:54] Speaker 1: somebody else that I really wanted now, and that is Mickey. Really,
[4:00] Speaker 1: Mickey on my do not draft less fascinating. I just like, yeah,
[4:05] Speaker 1: why'd you pick her? Because for some people, I feel
[4:07] Speaker 1: like I can tell that they're coached in the confessionals,
[4:09] Speaker 1: But you don't have to coach Mickey. She's just she's
[4:12] Speaker 1: hilarious freddy and it's charismatic. But also when she made
[4:15] Speaker 1: fun of Keanu for being a nerd when she thought
[4:18] Speaker 1: he was a BDSM dungeon master, you know that was
[4:21] Speaker 1: also that is very well and she has a power. Yeah,
[4:24] Speaker 1: she's she's a hard playing competitor. I think that's a
[4:28] Speaker 1: good pick, honestly.
[4:29] Speaker 2: I mean the reason I did not want to pick
[4:30] Speaker 2: her is she strikes me as one of the people
[4:32] Speaker 2: that are playing really hard early on, and maybe she
[4:35] Speaker 2: won't make it quite as far as someone who's kind
[4:37] Speaker 2: of floating like a Riley.
[4:39] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[4:39] Speaker 1: So I have two polar opposites as my first two,
[4:41] Speaker 1: Ava and Mickey.
[4:42] Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
[4:44] Speaker 2: I mean so far do you gotta you got a
[4:45] Speaker 2: great team. I'm gonna I'm gonna take I'm gonna draft Catherine.
[4:49] Speaker 1: Oh okay, I think that's I think she's really smart,
[4:53] Speaker 1: very likable. I don't think she has enemies.
[4:56] Speaker 2: We we haven't seen a lot of her yet, and
[4:59] Speaker 2: I think that's because there's no drama surrounding her.
[5:01] Speaker 3: So that's good.
[5:02] Speaker 1: Yeap, okay, So for round three, Rachel's still there. Give
[5:10] Speaker 1: me Rachel.
[5:12] Speaker 2: I was gonna take her next to here's the risk
[5:15] Speaker 2: with Rachel. She's a big character, she's a former winner,
[5:19] Speaker 2: so will she make it very far? Probably, but I
[5:22] Speaker 2: don't I don't know if she's gonna win it though.
[5:24] Speaker 1: I just want her on my side. I don't know
[5:27] Speaker 1: she'll go all the way. But it's gonna be fun
[5:30] Speaker 1: just to say that, like, yeah, she's she's a team
[5:32] Speaker 1: PD player. Rachel. You know the legend. Yeah, I've got
[5:37] Speaker 1: the rights to Rachel.
[5:38] Speaker 2: That's a good that's a good pick, dude, that's a
[5:40] Speaker 2: good pick. I hope we get number three round swap,
[5:43] Speaker 2: so that way I get Rachel.
[5:46] Speaker 1: We'll see what the I think.
[5:47] Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna pull Lauren.
[5:52] Speaker 1: All right, So you took the two Southern girls. Yeah.
[5:56] Speaker 3: I like them.
[5:57] Speaker 2: They're not being the forefront of the show right now,
[5:59] Speaker 2: which means that they're not at a risk of going
[6:01] Speaker 2: home right away.
[6:02] Speaker 3: And they both seem like very very smart players, very
[6:05] Speaker 3: charismatic players.
[6:06] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[6:06] Speaker 1: And one thing that we we skipped over in the
[6:09] Speaker 1: last episode is that she's never been in a relationship before.
[6:11] Speaker 1: And she tells Zach this while they're on a couch
[6:14] Speaker 1: and they're both laying there and she's talking about how
[6:17] Speaker 1: it's because she's picky, and then Zacht, oh, I'm picky too,
[6:19] Speaker 1: I'm super picky, Like I'm the pickiest person, and it
[6:23] Speaker 1: says very smooth, yeah, yeah, yeah, alright, so I it
[6:28] Speaker 1: is my Round four pick. Gosh, I feel like I
[6:33] Speaker 1: need to take a guy.
[6:36] Speaker 3: And yeah, so far you're all female PD once again.
[6:42] Speaker 1: I think next up, I'm gonna go with Vince Dude.
[6:48] Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna, I was gonna.
[6:51] Speaker 1: Ticket what you want.
[6:52] Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean there's a big risk with Vince too, though,
[6:56] Speaker 2: which I think is why he's a round four player
[6:58] Speaker 2: and not round you know, one through three.
[7:01] Speaker 3: And it's so far we've seen him as the age
[7:03] Speaker 3: of age and he doesn't seem to be super strategic.
[7:06] Speaker 3: He doesn't. He really fumbled his first week as the
[7:09] Speaker 3: h of age, that's.
[7:11] Speaker 1: True, but now that targets off of him, and hopefully
[7:14] Speaker 1: I'm I'm thinking maybe he can go under the radar.
[7:17] Speaker 1: Probably not, I hope so too.
[7:19] Speaker 3: I I do like him. Next up, I think I'm
[7:22] Speaker 3: going to go I think I'm gonna go Zach.
[7:27] Speaker 1: Okay, even after his emotions break this maybe Sack. Yeah,
[7:34] Speaker 1: he strikes me.
[7:35] Speaker 3: He strikes me as the kind of guy that he'll
[7:39] Speaker 3: go far.
[7:40] Speaker 2: He'll go far, he'll be a good competitor in like
[7:42] Speaker 2: the physical challenges and stuff.
[7:44] Speaker 1: And he seems pretty likable. I mean, the meltdown thing was.
[7:48] Speaker 3: Was ridiculous, but uh, very strange.
[7:52] Speaker 1: Next up, give me a call of duty, Morgan. I'm
[7:56] Speaker 1: gonna go with the gamer girl. Really, Yeah, I don't interested.
[8:00] Speaker 1: I know she seems like she's playing hard. That's what
[8:03] Speaker 1: I'm going for.
[8:03] Speaker 3: I'm going for competitors, and she's and she's working with
[8:07] Speaker 3: your other team member, Mickey, so that's a good alliance
[8:12] Speaker 3: to the heavy hitters. Yeah, the heavy hitters. I'm going
[8:16] Speaker 3: to go Adrian, all right.
[8:19] Speaker 1: Adrian also very likable, hasn't been in the center.
[8:22] Speaker 3: Of the drama.
[8:25] Speaker 1: Yep, you see my strategy. Yep, we have the total
[8:29] Speaker 1: opposite strategy. I'm like, give me all the wild cards.
[8:34] Speaker 3: Hey, you haven't taken Jimmy yet, so that's a good sign.
[8:37] Speaker 1: But do I do it for round six? No, I'm
[8:43] Speaker 1: gonna takes I'm gonna take gamecock Will, dude.
[8:48] Speaker 2: Because he also he also is kind of under the radar,
[8:55] Speaker 2: seems like he's playing a smart game, not at the
[8:57] Speaker 2: forefront of all the drama, but he is involved, which.
[9:00] Speaker 3: Is which is dope.
[9:01] Speaker 2: The only issue though, is Will is a part of
[9:03] Speaker 2: that uh, the the Hamburger alliance that lost the numbers
[9:08] Speaker 2: pretty big in week one, the Burger Boy Alliance.
[9:10] Speaker 3: Right, yeah, I'm a little bit what can I say?
[9:16] Speaker 3: Will also?
[9:17] Speaker 4: Man.
[9:17] Speaker 2: The hard part about Will he's so much older than
[9:20] Speaker 2: everyone else.
[9:21] Speaker 1: Yes, and I'm thinking maybe he won't be a threat
[9:24] Speaker 1: because of that. And he just seems like a cool
[9:27] Speaker 1: that's it's just as cool dad energy.
[9:30] Speaker 3: He does, Dude, he does. Next up, dude, I think
[9:34] Speaker 3: I'm going to take Kelly.
[9:36] Speaker 1: I think that's the best person available. She risked it all.
[9:39] Speaker 2: She played a big, big move, so she's there to
[9:42] Speaker 2: play the game.
[9:43] Speaker 3: She won a challenge over a big competitor like Za.
[9:47] Speaker 1: And uh all one again.
[9:48] Speaker 3: I mean she seems likable.
[9:51] Speaker 2: Again so but also the yeah yeah, and even though
[9:57] Speaker 2: like apparently she rubs a lot of people the wrong way, I.
[9:59] Speaker 3: Do think that she is likable.
[10:01] Speaker 4: Yeap.
[10:02] Speaker 1: I am looking at everybody who's left. Four players left yep,
[10:08] Speaker 1: that is Ashley, Amy, Jimmy and and Keanu.
[10:14] Speaker 3: Man at the bottom of the barrel.
[10:18] Speaker 1: You know what, give me Ashley, don't do it honestly best.
[10:28] Speaker 3: I think that was probably the best pick out of those.
[10:30] Speaker 1: I don't know. She she's a wild card. I'm gonna
[10:33] Speaker 1: we know that.
[10:34] Speaker 3: She's a wild card, but maybe after Showergate she'll slip
[10:37] Speaker 3: under the radar a little bit. Yeah.
[10:39] Speaker 2: And that being said, I'm gonna take a gamble and
[10:45] Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Keanu.
[10:47] Speaker 1: Okay. I was tempted to take him at that spot too,
[10:51] Speaker 1: but I opted for Ashley because Showergate was so funny.
[10:55] Speaker 1: Uh yeah, and she won that challenge.
[10:56] Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing about Keanu, right is, Keanu could
[10:59] Speaker 2: very well go home next week. He's got a big
[11:02] Speaker 2: beef with Jimmy. But my thought process was I can
[11:05] Speaker 2: either take Keanu or I could take Jimmy, and I
[11:08] Speaker 2: wouldn't feel morally right about taking Jimmy after everything I've
[11:11] Speaker 2: said about.
[11:12] Speaker 1: Him, you know what, I just yeah, but I just
[11:15] Speaker 1: realized something. Your last three picks are the three people
[11:19] Speaker 1: on the block.
[11:21] Speaker 3: WHOA Adrian, Kelly, Keanu.
[11:24] Speaker 2: I didn't even think about that, but that, I mean,
[11:26] Speaker 2: that's bad, that's really that's a.
[11:33] Speaker 1: That's amazing.
[11:34] Speaker 3: That sucks. But what sucks.
[11:38] Speaker 2: Have the powers to save themselves exactly. And there's the
[11:42] Speaker 2: power of veto challenge, and there's the b B Blockbuster.
[11:46] Speaker 2: So I'm pretty confident all three of these people could
[11:49] Speaker 2: get replaced by the end of yes the week.
[11:51] Speaker 1: And so now it is Jimmy and Amy as the
[11:54] Speaker 1: bottom two. Who am I gonna decide to whom I am?
[11:59] Speaker 1: I could I leave Chase with Jimmy if I wanted to?
[12:02] Speaker 1: That would that would be pretty harsh, That would be
[12:05] Speaker 1: really funny. And I don't even want Amy. But it's
[12:11] Speaker 1: just hilarious that Chase hates this guy so much, and
[12:15] Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to I'm gonna take Amy. You
[12:18] Speaker 1: know what, The Frankie Grande Alliance is over. Chase now
[12:22] Speaker 1: owns Jimmy, so here's the thing about Jimmy.
[12:27] Speaker 3: Even though I hate Jimmy, I do think he could
[12:30] Speaker 3: win the game.
[12:31] Speaker 1: I think he's obviously he's playing hard. He's thinking about strategy.
[12:36] Speaker 1: Even if it's like a ridiculous performance that he does
[12:39] Speaker 1: in front of everybody, it's calculated. Yeah, at least he's
[12:42] Speaker 1: thinking about all of that. And then I have Amy.
[12:46] Speaker 2: Amy works because you you have Rachel too, so you'll
[12:49] Speaker 2: have the mom the mom squad, which is solid to
[12:53] Speaker 2: have on your team. I can't believe, dude, that I
[12:55] Speaker 2: drafted the free people on the block back to back
[12:57] Speaker 2: like that.
[12:58] Speaker 3: That's insane behavior.
[12:59] Speaker 1: I saw Keanu and Kelly and I was like, well,
[13:02] Speaker 1: wait a second. Then I was like, well, Adrian, how
[13:04] Speaker 1: did he do this? So yeah, it was it's pretty
[13:07] Speaker 1: likely unless Kelly and Will I mean Kelly and Keanu,
[13:11] Speaker 1: unless they can you know, pull the rabbit out of
[13:14] Speaker 1: the hat, then they're going to go home. One of
[13:17] Speaker 1: your people is going to go home. But I feel
[13:19] Speaker 1: like one of those two they're going to, you know,
[13:21] Speaker 1: be able to weasel their way out of it.
[13:24] Speaker 2: Those those mystery powers. One of the mystery powers was
[13:28] Speaker 2: literally you get to take two people off the block.
[13:30] Speaker 3: One of them is the head of household. You can
[13:32] Speaker 3: replace the whole the whole thing.
[13:35] Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm pretty confident that that, hopefully we'll pull
[13:39] Speaker 2: it through. But oh god, oh god, oh oh no,
[13:46] Speaker 2: I'm about to spoon.
[13:51] Speaker 1: Oh please please don't be you too, about to switch
[13:58] Speaker 1: your plus I do not like how funny would it be?
[14:04] Speaker 3: How funny would it be if it was number eight
[14:06] Speaker 3: and we just flipped?
[14:08] Speaker 1: Yeah, after I made such a big deal about it,
[14:10] Speaker 1: I'm giving Jimmy to Chase because of how much he
[14:12] Speaker 1: hates him and everything. Oh man, alright, you man, alright?
[14:17] Speaker 1: Or is the Mastermind? Does he have one through eight
[14:18] Speaker 1: in there already?
[14:21] Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay, and it's spinning. It's spinning, no way.
[14:26] Speaker 1: Which one? Which one is it? Is it eight? No?
[14:29] Speaker 4: Dude?
[14:30] Speaker 1: Is it eight? Which one?
[14:31] Speaker 3: Dude? It was on eight? And then it just kept
[14:37] Speaker 3: a little bit more and we have to flip round one.
[14:41] Speaker 2: No, our first roun have to be flipped, dude.
[14:47] Speaker 1: That's I don't want Benson Boone. I wanted Ava.
[14:51] Speaker 3: Gosh.
[14:51] Speaker 1: All right, dude, all right, mastermind. I hate the Mastermind too, dude.
[15:00] Speaker 2: Some little behind the behind the scenes stuff that was
[15:02] Speaker 2: PD's idea.
[15:05] Speaker 3: Yeah, what was my idea for the master.
[15:10] Speaker 1: You just said that there would be a twist, and
[15:12] Speaker 1: you're like, I don't have anything, and then I came
[15:13] Speaker 1: up with something that I screwed myself.
[15:20] Speaker 3: Dude.
[15:20] Speaker 1: That's I mean, I don't think that could have worked
[15:22] Speaker 1: out better for me. Actually, my aura is just sad.
[15:27] Speaker 1: That's that's how I feel right now.
[15:29] Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, but I mean, you don't know what your
[15:31] Speaker 2: ore is because you don't have Ava on your team
[15:33] Speaker 2: and she's on my team and she just told me
[15:35] Speaker 2: what your ora is and she said that your.
[15:37] Speaker 3: Aura is super super lame. Whoa you fictional?
[15:43] Speaker 4: Ava?
[15:44] Speaker 3: Yeah?
[15:45] Speaker 1: You know what I We're gonna move on with the
[15:50] Speaker 1: power of Moonbeam. Riley Ticket, off your food, Jeest at
[15:55] Speaker 1: the movies and that's yeah, Riley Nation, Baby.
[16:07] Speaker 3: That's that other song he does right?
[16:08] Speaker 1: Oh that is him? Yeah, that song sucks all right,
[16:13] Speaker 1: Riley Nation all the way.
[16:16] Speaker 3: Guys. What a crazy draft our big brother draft man.
[16:19] Speaker 1: That's uh, we're gonna put up We're gonna put up
[16:21] Speaker 1: a graphic on the Instagram of our drafted teams. I
[16:25] Speaker 1: was so happy. I'm still happy with my team. I'm
[16:28] Speaker 1: still very happy with it. I just wanted I mean
[16:30] Speaker 1: I picked her first. That's how much you know I
[16:33] Speaker 1: wanted Ava, And then it's just how I want to
[16:36] Speaker 1: kill the mastermind.
[16:38] Speaker 3: I wish I could.
[16:38] Speaker 2: Explain to you watching the Wheel, it was like on
[16:41] Speaker 2: eight and then it just barely flipped over to one.
[16:45] Speaker 2: It was insane brutal either way, that would have been funny.
[16:50] Speaker 1: All right, this has been Big Bro Club.
[16:51] Speaker 3: Hey yeah,
