Dee Tips Off Rome: Yash's Six-Person Alliance and the Push to Nominate LaTrice

Dee pulls Rome aside to warn him that Yash is quietly building a six or seven person alliance. She also flags that Hailey and Chuk have been pushing Rome to nominate LaTrice just to get under Dee's skin. Rome counters with intel of his own: he's playing low key, locked in a shield pact with Devens, and names Hailey and Chuk as the house's real orchestrators.

Dee Drops Intel on Yash's Growing Alliance

With her heart still racing from HOH nerves, Dee tells Rome that Yash is taking a recent move very personally, personally enough that he's now trying to organize a large alliance.

Dee: "Josh [Yash], he's taking what you did very personally... So now he's come to me, and he's trying to build an alliance of six or seven people."

The names get jumbled in the cross-talk (a couple are hard to make out clearly on the audio), but Dee and Rome land on Yash, Taylor, Jason, Dee herself, and LaTrice as the core of it, with Dee noting she's still personally close with Jason despite him being in the group.

The Push to Nominate LaTrice

Rome reveals he's been getting pushed toward a specific move: putting LaTrice up on the block. The stated reason isn't game strategy, it's to needle Dee.

Rome: "Put up LaLa because it's gonna piss her off."

Dee connects the dots instantly. She believes Hailey and Chuk are the ones steering Rome toward that nomination, using him as a pawn while they think he doesn't notice.

Dee: "They think they've been using you this whole time... like helping them place votes and stuff."

Hailey's Target Is Bigger Than Thought

The conversation turns to Hailey directly, with Dee confirming she's also squarely in Hailey's crosshairs, and that the animosity runs both ways.

Dee: "Hailey also has a huge target on me."

Rome: "Hailey wants me out of the house."

Rome's Under the Radar Game and the Devens Shield Pact

Rome pivots to laying out his own strategy for Dee. After winning the first challenge and getting an early "smoke these comps" reputation, he's deliberately been playing quieter to avoid heat. He also names one key relationship keeping him safe.

Rome: "The one big person that was huge for me to get a good relationship with was Devens... we both see each other as each other's shields."

Dee backs the read, telling Rome he's currently in an awkward spot relative to the Hailey/Chuk crew even as they think they've got him locked in.

Calling Out the Orchestrators

The pair close out by naming names on who they believe is actually running the house's targeting campaign.

Rome: "Hailey and Chuck are the orchestrators of all of it... and Kamu's kind of falling along because he likes Hailey."

Dee agrees the read is obvious, setting up Rome as someone who now knows exactly who's been pulling strings around him.
