Big Brother 3 legend Jason Guy returns to The Exclusive to recap Week 5 of Big Brother 28, breaking down the blindside that rocked Haley's HOH and why Dee's fingerprints are all over the flip. Jason unpacks Lala's historic Wall win over Kamu, makes the case for Yash's quiet "stealth game" as the season's most dangerous, and explains why he needs to see the reality TV icons sweat before Dee and Devens cruise to the end. He weighs in on the secrecy around Deven's Diamond Power of Veto, calls Kamu a "free agent" living on borrowed time, and celebrates Mallory's feel-good BB Time Capsule win. Plus: his read on the Melody–Drew slow burn, Angela's cooler head, and who he predicts is heading out the door this Thursday.

The latest houseguest evicted from Big Brother 28, Lyric Medeiros, joins The Exclusive to break down the last-minute flip that sent her home 8-3 and why she insists she "knew" the vote was coming the moment Haley put her up. The attorney reflects on getting shut out of the Red Corner despite Chuk and Kamu's support, the apology she owed Mallory and Melody after "confirming" their target list, and Rome's ground rules for her flirting strategy — "no handholding and no kissing." Lyric also opens up about the "magnets" pull she felt with Rome from day one and reveals who she's picking to go all the way.

Q Burdette, fresh off Survivor 50, joins The Exclusive to watch a Big Brother episode for the very first time — and he's not holding back. The Survivor vet breaks down last night's episode in a mask, from Haley's "limited power of attorney" Head of Household run to Lyric throwing her closest allies under the bus to save her own game. Q also weighs in on Deven's mysterious power, the "scripted" feel of the diary room confessionals, and why the live feeds are proof the show is designed to "make people fail in real life." He explains why the game left his 2-year-old son begging to go outside, why he needed a new TV by the end of the episode, and whether this whole ordeal changed his answer on ever playing Big Brother himself (spoiler: hell no). Plus, Q previews Survivor 51's "open era" and calls his shot on getting an invite.

Big Brother 5 and All-Stars houseguest Diane Henry McFarland joins The Exclusive for the latest edition of the Memory Wall, looking back on one of the show's most iconic OG seasons two decades later.

Diane also sets the record straight on the backdoor plan that changed the entire game, revealing who really came up with it, and opens up about the sting of Drew choosing Cowboy over her at the final two.

She also unpacks the secrecy around the Diamond Power of Veto, weighs in on the controversial BB Bribe, and reflects on Jason's blindside exit and the "fumble" she thinks is costing both sides the game.

Drew's closest friend, who has been running his social media while he's in the Big Brother 28 house, joins The Exclusive for a special live podcast to break down one of the season's most talked-about games.

Big Brother 28's third eliminated houseguest, Jason De Puy, joins The Exclusive to break down the house's unanimous vote to send him packing.

Jason also addresses the lack of LGBTQ+ representation in the house, reveals the full-drag nomination speech he never got to deliver, and names exactly who he'd have targeted had he kept his HOH. Plus: why he's ready to run it back and prove his "messy" game deserves a redo.

Big Brother 10's Michelle Costa joins The Exclusive for this edition of Memory Wall to break down everything from Keesha's birthday and her now-iconic "unitard meltdown" on live eviction night. The self-proclaimed Portuguese princess reflects on "clocking" Dan as America's Player long before anyone in the house believed her, the kitchen scene so tense it felt "like a funeral," and the surreal Catalina Island date where Dan told her, "This isn't Rhode Island, but it's paradise." Michelle also revisits the infamous jury house bomb she dropped just because she was "bored" — telling the house she'd vote for Memphis to win — and weighs in on whether Dan's game still holds up nearly two decades later. She wraps by explaining why, 18 years later, she still has "a lot of unfinished business" and is ready to run it back for another season in the house.
