  • Disappointed

    The Andy Herron episode. Crazy that Rob and friends condoned Dee’s behavior towards Barrett during the eviction. Harassment tied with threats for a reality show is crazy. Add the fact that Dee has put so many people on the block and disrespected Barrett’s game all season. Horrible cringeworthy moment for Dee. Disappointed in the take on this one. Couldn’t finish the episode.

Summer of Stein Big Brother 28 Week 6
Q: What was your reaction to the Diamond Power of Veto?
