Jason De Puy

Minutes after winning the second HOH, Devens pulls Rome aside in the pantry to float using him as a pawn and admits he's unsure where Lyric stands with him after she didn't give him information when he gave her the chance.

Jason catches Drew in the pantry to apologize for how a quick group meeting about the vote went down, then walks him through the current plan relayed from Rome: target Ashley, pivot to Yash if she wins veto, and keep Taylor safe no matter what.

Rome lays out his voting priorities if things shift, distancing himself from Yash's alleged alliance with Hailey and Chuk while confirming Yash reportedly can't stand Chuk.

Lyric and Rome compare notes on Ashley faking a low-key outfit brand while actually wearing an expensive one, on top of ongoing house-wide suspicion that Ashley is hiding her real profession.

The trio names their core three-person bond "The Love Triangle," complete with a finger-triangle hand sign, and Jason lays out the social cover story behind it.

Rome recaps a solo conversation with HOH Dee where he flagged Hailey as being tied to a "group of three" and pushed a narrative that she's dangerous to keep around, including her rumored showmance with Chuk.

Jason breaks down a name-trail that traces back to Yash, suggesting he's been dropping different houseguests' names to different people to muddy the veto conversation. Lyric spirals a little before Rome shuts the paranoia down.

In a rare, deeply personal moment away from game talk, Jason shares the unique and emotional story of his parents adopting multiple foster kids, and how his family dynamic shifted after his mother passed away.
