This episode of the podcast is brought to you by our friends at Manta Sleep. Summertime is officially here! The days are longer, the sun is brighter, and while all that extra daylight can feel energizing, it can quietly sabotage your sleep. Later sunsets disrupt your body’s natural circadian rhythm, making it harder to fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up feeling refreshed.

Manta Sleep is here to help. Whether you’re blocking out daylight or tuning out the sounds of summer nights, taking control of your sleep environment helps you get deep, restorative rest, no matter how long the sun stays up.

Each Monday night, Taran Armstrong (@ArmstrongTaran) and Melissa Deni (@itsmelissaaa) will be joined by a rotating guest to discuss the past week in Big Brother 27. After running down all of the latest advancements, they’ll rate and rank the houseguests to update the weekly Stockwatch.

Today, Taran, Melissa, and Aysha Welch talk through week 5 of Big Brother 27.

Taran Armstrong, Melissa Deni, and Aysha Welch dissect the latest gameplay in the Big Brother 27 house on this week’s Roundtable, featuring the Stockwatch. The house is reeling from Ava’s HOH reign, which saw her nominate Keanu, Zach, and Vince for eviction.

Zach’s baffling decision not to use his $10,000 veto power dominates the discussion. The panel struggles to comprehend his choice, with Aysha questioning when “$10,000 became worth more than $750,000.” This move could drastically alter the game’s trajectory.

Taran, Melissa, and Aysha discuss:

The houseguests continue to make perplexing decisions, with even strong players stumbling. Rachel’s confrontation with Morgan may have damaged her previously strong position, while Mickey’s post-HOH behavior raises eyebrows. The panel debates whether Keanu’s improved social game can save him from eviction.

As the week progresses, the power dynamics remain fluid. Will Zach’s gamble to keep his veto power pay off, or has he sealed his fate? Can Rachel recover from her recent missteps? The unpredictable nature of this cast keeps everyone guessing as Big Brother 27 barrels towards another pivotal eviction.

Rob Cesternino and the world’s most qualified international Survivor correspondent, Shannon Guss, are thrilled to announce we’re less than a week away from the premiere of Survivor Australia versus the World! This highly anticipated “once-in-a-lifetime event” has been in the making for almost a year, promising an insane, but exciting, 16-day season filmed in Samoa.

Shannon has been preparing extensively, even watching the 67-episode Survivor Quebec and Survivor Finland seasons to bring unparalleled insights into all the global legends. This season features an Australian tribe of legends against a global tribe including three US players, and others from South Africa, New Zealand, Finland, and Quebec. Rob and Shannon anticipate a season of “big moves” and “big characters,” typical of Australian Survivor, but amplified by the shorter format, which favors game-heavy play over long-term social bonding.

RHAP is going all-in with comprehensive coverage! As your hosts, Rob and Shannon will reunite weekly on Wednesdays to discuss the week’s events. You can also expect Shannon’s recap partners—Chappelle, Pooya, and Mike Bloom—to provide recaps after every new episode, alongside exit interviews with voted-out contestants.

Don’t miss a moment! Catch up on Shannon’s individual player previews available on YouTube and the We Know Global Survivor podcast feed. The premiere is Sunday night in Australia, meaning Sunday morning for US fans. Make sure to join the global community and stay tuned with RHAP!
