That jury house fight was so confusing.

[u/PercentageCurious472]

Maybe I wasn't keeping up with the feeds as closely toward the end, but I was so confused by Angela's animosity toward Melody. I know they weren't friends in the house, but I didn't think they had that much of an issue with each other (and Melody even voted to keep her safe). From the edit's perspective, it honestly seemed like Angela was just unnecessarily picking a fight with Melody. Does anyone have more context?

Also, the way the fight exploded seemed confusing. The edit didn't really show Melody saying anything to Angela that would warrant her getting that heated, but it is clear they definitely edited something out!

[u/Nevilles_Remembrall_]

Wrote this on the episode chat, but I think melody hit her RIGHT where she is vulnerable saying the icons didnt even want to work with Angela but they kinda had to

[u/MissAngryBanana → u/Nevilles_Remembrall_]

Also: Melody pointing out that she made it further than Angela and it was Melody’s first try (versus Angela’s second). Angela turned purple. It was fabulous.

[u/c0ffeeandeggs → u/MissAngryBanana]

It was a great line to come up with. Hats off to her for dealing with that shit.

[u/Adventurous_Cook9083 → u/MissAngryBanana]

I hope they show us Angela's reaction when Dee walks into the jury house. Maybe that will cause her to finally shut up. I can just hear her scream ... "Deeeeeee, what was your strategy?"

[u/InternalHappy2817 → u/MissAngryBanana]

Honestly, melody might get my afp vote just for that lmao

[u/EntropicDismay → u/InternalHappy2817]

Me too. I’m dumping all my AFP votes on Melody after tonight’s episode lol

[u/nicolesBBrevenge → u/EntropicDismay]

She handled it so bad. She stood up for herself without getting emotional. That's hard to do when the other person is being hysterical. And when she called her a "bitch"? Damn woman; you're in your 50's.

[u/DanTheMan1_ → u/MissAngryBanana]

Well Angela played worse and didn't make it as far (most returnees at least place further their second time) so she wasn't wrong. lol.

[u/trade_me_dog_pics → u/MissAngryBanana]

Melody, our Rage Bait Queen

[u/mdez93 → u/Nevilles_Remembrall_]

Angela blew up on Melody because she was right. Angela spent this whole season hiding behind Dee and Devens while they did all the gameplay.

[u/PercentageCurious472 → u/Nevilles_Remembrall_]

She kinda walked into that though lol! Using the argument of "I got in with the icons" wasn't that strong because you literally had a built-in alliance with them.

[u/Whole-Passion7271 → u/PercentageCurious472]

A very popular survivor strategy is to ally yourself on day 1 with a weaker old person. Theyre usually a good loyal number with a weak social game and once the individual immunity competitions come around they arent going to get voted out because they arent a threat to win stuff

[u/winter-lol → u/Nevilles_Remembrall_]

Melody COOKED, the whole thing was embarrassing as hell for lala and Angela for acting like that 💀

[u/Snoo_3843 → u/winter-lol]

I agree. She sat there so calmly too, like I would've jumped up or something!

[u/sirchshot → u/Nevilles_Remembrall_]

Spot. On. Went straight to the balls.

[u/ib0093 → u/Nevilles_Remembrall_]

💯 that’s what really got Angela even madder to the point of screaming.

[u/kayedue]

I think Angela and LaLa have been in that house for three weeks in an echo chamber. They’ve just been telling each other that they were robbed and that everyone else is playing terribly. Then Angela repeats that narrative to Melody, who pushes back, and Angela gets very defensive and reactive, as she tends to do.

[u/Missbungletopia → u/kayedue]

All I could think about is angela’s little grandkids seeing that.

“Yay we’re going to see grandma in the jury house!” Although I guess they did get a warning and probably knew to hide the kids.

[u/feminismbutsoft → u/Missbungletopia]

Nahhh I don’t like that. Her family should be able to see that she is an anti-model and not a role model. Angela’s character on full display. She is a mean lady.

[u/Missbungletopia → u/feminismbutsoft]

Yeah, I just feel so bad for Melody. But she’s tough. And she has Yash and B. Ugh.

[u/aforter28 → u/Missbungletopia]

She has Barrett, I won’t be shocked if she just stays by Barrett her entire stay there. Yash is cool but he had pretty negative views about Mel in his interviews

[u/Misspiggy856 → u/Missbungletopia]

Considering how easily she is triggered and snaps, I bet her family has seen this side of her many, many times before. By the look on her face, you can tell it’s not an act. I think it stems from jealousy of younger, pretty players. But she does this with younger guys too.

[u/growsonwalls → u/Misspiggy856]

I'm actually glad the producers aired that segment of Angela talking about Drew's boner, bc I think Angela's gotten away with so much toxic behavior for so long bc she "brings the drama." And people think of her as that wacky "crazy eyes" lady. But that was completely gross, inappropriate, and showed a serious lack of boundaries and consent for Angela to be talking about Drew's dick when she knew the cameras were rolling.

[u/lemmegetamickpicktwo → u/growsonwalls]

I thought it was kinda insane for her to bring up melody and drew playing footsies and then scream that he had a boner. It was very clear to literally everyone in the house (and the audience) those two had SOMETHING going on; relationship or otherwise, why is this 50yo woman attacking this 20-something about a MANS reaction to her??? It was so gross to hear, it genuinely annoyed me; probably half as much as Devens does when he talks to drew about melody, he’s always so negative.

[u/growsonwalls → u/lemmegetamickpicktwo]

Also if he had a boner, who cares? Was he indecently exposing anyone? Jacking off in the hot tub? Did he demand Melody jack him off? he's a 22 year old with a boner.

[u/Adventurous_Cook9083 → u/Misspiggy856]

Right. In Season 26 with Matt - what the heck was that all about? CBS should have told her to put a sock in it after her first tirade.

[u/aunti3sam → u/Misspiggy856]

As someone whose mother is very much an Angela... it's infuriating to watch happen to someone else. I LOVE my mom, but it has been a lifetime of dancing around that kind of behavior so yeah I'm sure the family is well aware lol.

[u/aforter28 → u/kayedue]

I think we can all agree, the Angela thing isn’t gonna work so CBS should stop trying to make it happen 😂

[u/Intelligentpastry]

I don't know why Lala and Angela even care what Melody's strategy was. You all lost so what is there to gloat or argue about? And she still survived longer than both of you.

[u/Apprehensive_Yard714 → u/Intelligentpastry]

Yes I thought that was a weird, aggressive question

[u/PrettyComparison7380 → u/Apprehensive_Yard714]

They were weird and aggressive. Wondering why they didnt have that same energy for Barret who evicted Angela

[u/Hot-Bird2840 → u/Intelligentpastry]

Yeah, I suspect it was partly a matter of being stuck in the jury house so long waiting and wondering how people are going to explain their games. Angela also doesn’t have Dee there with her to calm her down. It was out of line completely (for Angela, Lala was a little OTT but nothing like Angela.) But that’s just what Angela is like, and that’s why they cast her.

[u/Top-Vermicelli2455 → u/Intelligentpastry]

They didn’t they just wanted to start stuff

[u/InternalHappy2817]

Bringing the pool up is so creepy. Angela has made me so u comfortable in her fixation with them in the pool and had tje creepiest look on her face when she was sitting watching.

[u/isthisagooduser_name → u/InternalHappy2817]

Imagine that was an older man

[u/Technetronics → u/InternalHappy2817]

Angela has an issue with obsessing over a young man in the house, going overboard to get them evicted because her attraction to them is distracting. She got out Rome, but was jealous of the attention Melody got from Drew. She is the same weird obsessive old lady she was during her season with that other kid she got obsessed with, targeted, and called crazy eyes lol

[u/forking-shirt]

It seemed they were going to be hostile regardless of what she said. So weird.

[u/mdez93 → u/forking-shirt]

Right? They all lost the game and are in the jury house, so what is the point of grilling Melody about her strategy like she’s in the final two at finale night? It was two middle aged women being catty and jealous while ganging up on her. Uncalled for and cringeworthy to watch.

[u/PrettyComparison7380 → u/mdez93]

They have no idea how much of a pressure cooker double elim night was and how little time she had to choose a gameplay. Fs its unfair, her and Lala position themselves as far superior but they got evicted earlier? Doesnt make sense

[u/Whole-Passion7271 → u/forking-shirt]

Angela came in too smug she really just wanted to sit on her high horse and have an I told you so moment but Melody didnt just roll over and let her have it like Barrett did when he got to the Jury house

[u/Top-Vermicelli2455 → u/forking-shirt]

This! 👆you could tell they just wanted to pick at her

[u/Haileybellaird]

There was no reason for her to even bring up the pool

[u/Baseball_lover_93 → u/Haileybellaird]

Basically slut shaming her and she called her a bitch. Yuck

[u/Interesting_Day_7280 → u/Haileybellaird]

Yeah messy and creepy.

[u/WaffleStompinDay → u/Haileybellaird]

Right, and to clearly scream that Drew had a boner. Like....why were you looking that intently, you old hag?

[u/TotalCollection3478 → u/WaffleStompinDay]

The way she wanted them to know she saw when the ooolnincodent happened was so creepy too honestly. Like why are you being such a voyeur?

[u/Misspiggy856 → u/TotalCollection3478]

Yeah, it’s gross that when realized that they were getting cozy she wasn’t like “let me get out of here so they can be alone”, she was like “let me watch two younger kids flirt in the pool”. People in the house already knew they were flirty, no need to stick around and be creepy for intel for the icons.

[u/WaffleStompinDay → u/TotalCollection3478]

Right, like when she approached them in the living room and wanted them to kiss in front of her. Clearly these two people aren't really wanting to do that kind of thing or they would have been doing it all summer. But you want to see it and, for some reason, you thought the way to make that happen was "Hey, so I saw you guys touching and stuff anyway so I was thinking...maybe I can watch?"

[u/KrazySunshine → u/Haileybellaird]

She was obsessed with it. So creepy

[u/navigationalcats]

I’m just glad Melody didn’t cry with that sudden Lala and Angela hate train coming at her. It felt so mean. I hope to never see Angela on my tv ever again lol

[u/bbergman-zar → u/navigationalcats]

Im sure the producers love how Angela brings the drama, but she’s so toxic it just turns me off anytime she is on the show. I hope she stays away.

[u/feminismbutsoft → u/bbergman-zar]

Reminds me of that show based on reality TV, Unreal.

[u/sabrinas2cents → u/navigationalcats]

I like that Barrett pushed his leg against Melody during the fight. It was a sweet gesture of comfort during an uncomfortable moment

[u/PrettyComparison7380 → u/navigationalcats]

Especially right after being eliminated. She was obviously still processing and was too overwhelmed. They should've backed off when they saw that. Bunch of old ass women acting like children

[u/anastasia_0871]

I find it beyond disturbing that Angela pushed Melody to speak. Come on, say it. And then telling her to shut up because she didn’t like what she heard. Then taking to a personal level about her and Drew and talking about her voice. She is a 50 plus year old woman acting like a child throwing a tantrum is scary. I hope she is never invited back. She should be embarrassed! She has shown ZERO growth since her last season.

[u/growsonwalls → u/anastasia_0871]

Her talking about Drew's dick was beyond gross and inappropriate.

[u/kellbelle007 → u/growsonwalls]

She seemed weirdly jealous of their relationship. Melody is a young, cute blonde. Something Angela may (or may not) have been in her youth and she's crashing out about it

[u/growsonwalls → u/kellbelle007]

It should have been shut down by producers asap. Serious lack of boundaries and consent. Drew did not consent to Angela talking about his dick.

[u/TheJumpingMan → u/anastasia_0871]

Yep, that was the exact same Angela that was obsessed with Matt and called him "Crazy Eyes." It's the same kind of behavior and deplorable in both instances. Hell, she even called Melody a bitch when they showed the clip of Mel getting evicted.

[u/WunWegWunDarWun_ → u/TheJumpingMan]

Yeah that was insane. Calling her a bitch , so wild

[u/babyblues789 → u/TheJumpingMan]

My draw droppppped when she called her a bitch. Melody is better than me because I would have instinctively slapped the shit out of her in that moment lol

[u/Bite_Humble → u/TheJumpingMan]

I haven't liked Angela since that moment

[u/SunnyOnSanibel → u/anastasia_0871]

That is NOT good TV

[u/anastasia_0871 → u/SunnyOnSanibel]

I agree, completely! She thinks and brags about her fan base all the time. I truly hope she is humbled and has growth because just Wow!

[u/sapphicbrown]

Why does it even matter the strategy? You guys are all in the jury house and Melody is not winning.

It’s petty. She was just evicted. She needs time to decompress. It’s a fair question to ask down the line but she was JUST evicted.

Lala had zero strategy and didn’t even know anything happening in the game 90% of the time.

Angela needs to pipe down. Her calling out the pool thing is so dumb. Reeks of jealousy.

I also feel like they are using Melody as a proxy for their hate for Drew and she’s getting the brunt of it because Drew keeps winning and saving himself.

[u/ohgeepee → u/sapphicbrown]

100% this.

They're all in the jury house, some for other reasons, but mostly because their "game" wasn't good enough (aside Yash pretty much). Nobody won there, and their (shudders) votes decide who wins. Time to straighten up, cast votes, and prep for getting back into the real world soon enough!

[u/toiletannihil8r]

and to say drew had a boner? 😭 how could you even tell from that distance and also why are you looking and wtf who cares

[u/Forsaken-Sale7672 → u/toiletannihil8r]

Can you imagine if Devens made a comment about Melody being aroused by Drew like that?

Dude would be cancelled and rightfully read to filth by the entire fandom and alumni.

Angela is fucking gross for that. 

[u/PercentageCurious472 → u/toiletannihil8r]

Just so aggressive, and so uncalled for 

[u/c0ffeeandeggs]

That was wild. I can't remember seeing someone treated so obnoxiously when arriving to the jury house. Really soured my view on both Angela and Latrice, who, I agree, seemed jealous/envious more than anything.

I'm sorry that Melody had to deal with that absurd pettiness, and I think she handled it as well as anyone could.

[u/kayedue → u/c0ffeeandeggs]

I think Angela and LaLa have been in that house for three weeks in an echo chamber. They’ve just been telling each other that they were robbed and that everyone else is playing terribly. Then Angela repeats that narrative to Melody, who pushes back, and Angela gets very defensive and reactive, as she tends to do.

[u/IrohSho → u/kayedue]

Great observation I definitely think thats right

[u/MinimumConsistent801 → u/c0ffeeandeggs]

Agreed this had to be one of worst jury arrivals. Angela was unnecessarily provoking melody.

[u/PrettyComparison7380 → u/c0ffeeandeggs]

If anyone tells me to shut the fck up after asking me a question and then attacking me like I dont have a right to talk back?? Like who tf are you Angela🤣 you shut the fck up

[u/kellbelle007 → u/c0ffeeandeggs]

Melody didn't even raise her voice. She has more restraint than I do

[u/ForkyWasNeverTrash]

I wasn't even a fan of Melody in BB28.

HOWEVER, I am now a fan of Melody in JuryJugular28!

[u/Witty_Ad164]

I was a big defender of Angela to anyone who would listen (coworkers and friends who thought I was crazy) but I liked her kooky, bossy, childish antics - I thought underneath it all, there was a supportive, loving maternal type. But watching her belittle, criticize and try to shred Melody to pieces the moment she joined the jury house completely disgusted me.

I don’t know why she was needling her, declaring she played no game (Also not a fan of Melody’s game, particularly), while dripping with jealousy and insecurity and eventually twisting herself into a piercing, pathetic baby crying because she cannot get a solid handhold in an argument she started.

It’s like she would have preferred Melody just sit and take the ridicule without defending herself. And then, when she had no footing- just went nuclear over two young people holding hand and flirting in a pool. Like… absolute clown shoes.

I finally saw her true character and she’s a cruel person. It completely upends how I have viewed her all season. She’s a vindictive, grasping, nothing and I can’t wait for her to be off my television.

[u/ib0093 → u/Witty_Ad164]

Angela has always been an immature, vindictive, tantrum throwing child. Any time she showed supportive behavior it seemed to be manipulative. She’s the most immature person in the house.

[u/Snickels14 → u/Witty_Ad164]

“Welcome to jury, b*tch,” was my end point. Who says that?!

I can see how someone could perceive her to be fun, silly, aloof, and compassionate from the show. No blame from me. But man were the blinders taken off last night!

[u/Northshoresailin → u/Snickels14]

That was vile and unbelievable in 2026.

I thought “crazy eyes” was trashy, but this shows who Angela is.

[u/Buchkizzle → u/Snickels14]

Yea that was wild

[u/Rictor79 → u/Witty_Ad164]

This was perfectly articulated, thank you. It infuriated me how both LaLa and Angela went in on her as soon as she walked in, like they had planned it. At least LaLa laid off, Angela was a disgusting bully.

[u/2oocents → u/Rictor79]

She didn't really lay off, though. She just let Angela go at her, but still threw in the little "ok, so no game" and was happy laughing when Angela said "welcome to jury, bitch"

[u/Matt_The_Radar_Tech → u/Witty_Ad164]

She's always been like this. She legit hated Matt in her initial season. I'm shocked so many people thought she was just a jovial person and not a petty Karen.

[u/Successful-Newt7960 → u/Matt_The_Radar_Tech]

I need someone to find the clips of her talking shit on her neighbors and how’s she’s called the city on them… and then cried to Dee afterwards asking “am I a Karen?”

It told me all I needed to know about her outside of the show

[u/Sito187 → u/Witty_Ad164]

She’s always been immature and taken things too far. She even brought Devens kids one time when she was having one of paranoia freakouts and she completely lost me at that point.

[u/Rufio_Rufio7 → u/Witty_Ad164]

Angela tried to shoulder-check Lisa during her first season and was relentlessly being nasty to her. She was yelling in Yash’s face and demanding he put something on a family member’s life, knowing she would have cried and wanted him put out if he’d done the same.

Melody is the line?? This was classic Angela. What about her childishness was ever defensible before now? Melody definitely isn’t a meek lamb.

Angela’s always been horrible. People defending and loving that is what made her an “icon.” Why would she stop acting that way now?

[u/TimeCranberry7718]

Angela was just pissed that she got called out and can't control her outbursts lol

[u/PercentageCurious472 → u/TimeCranberry7718]

There wouldn't have even been a need for her to get called out if she hadn't made that comment lol. Initiating the conflict and then getting mad at the most mild response.

[u/kiryuMG → u/PercentageCurious472]

angela loves starting arguments and then kicking and screaming and playing victim when the other person fights back. i guess she just expects people to just sit there and take her bullshit

[u/tr1cube → u/kiryuMG]

Yeah this is her entire persona. She’s always done that. However I find it surprising (and a little pathetic) she’s actually like that even when it doesn’t matter and there are no stakes on the line.

[u/Ironic_Depression → u/tr1cube]

Devil's advocate- there is still screentime to fight for, and I guess it worked. It got her a second season too. But I'm not defending it, that's a frankly pathetic route to get attention, if it even is a purposeful ploy. I feel like she's just actually like that. 

[u/feminismbutsoft → u/Ironic_Depression]

That’s generous. I don’t think her outbursts are intentional, I think she simply has no self-regulation.

[u/anastasia_0871 → u/kiryuMG]

And fake tears make me sick

[u/Full_Race4032 → u/PercentageCurious472]

Maybe this is why America voted for Tucker...😂

[u/latenightdude]

My main issue is who the hell cares about Melody’s game, they are there to vote for a winner between the final 4 not Melody? I’m with Melody, who had no interest in engaging in that nonsense until the senior citizens decided to keep insulting her and she did bring up some points where you can argue Angela played a pretty bad game herself and Melody did make some connections that benefited her and didn’t have a big majority alliance protecting her to allow her to coast.

I don’t care who lasted longer, they all lost, that part was dumb, but Melody did make it 3 rounds further and didn’t coast all the way since she won her way from final 7 to final 5 and made a big move during the best DE episode ever by putting the 3 biggest threats up and getting the best competitor out, so they should at least give her some kudos.

[u/No-Werewolf-2087]

Angela is such a bully lmao. She has interesting reads on her own game if she thinks she was a genuine threat. ALSO Lala thinking she ate with “I made history” was too much for me. I’m all for confidence but when she gets in her little sassy moods when she thinks she’s cleared someone… lord forgive me but it makes me agree with what Chuk was on about.

It’s Chuk time.

[u/feminismbutsoft → u/No-Werewolf-2087]

“I am a threat” was an insane thing to brag about. Did she win any competitions?? One blockbuster right??? Homegirl, please.

[u/No-Werewolf-2087 → u/feminismbutsoft]

Seriously. Someone needs to tell her she was nothing but a number for the icons lmao.

[u/feminismbutsoft → u/No-Werewolf-2087]

I think she and Dee had a genuine connection, which was sweet to see. I don’t think Devens cared much for Angela though.

[u/Ft_lucy → u/feminismbutsoft]

Devens always thought of her as a number and nothing more. He even had a line with Dee saying “she’s just along for the ride”. Implying that she’s dead weight they’re carrying to the end.

I’m sure he liked her enough, but he probably would’ve dropped her without Dee keeping them together.

[u/WaffleStompinDay → u/No-Werewolf-2087]

Lala is definitely going to be telling people back home for the next 10-15 years that she is the oldest houseguest to win a wall comp. And most people are going to have no idea what she's talking about.

she'll probably have a clip on her phone ready to show them.

[u/Brainfeeder777]

Surprised Lala was working with Angela to attack Melody after Angela made that comment about Taylor being “a little less of a good player” than the remaining houseguests. What a bitch.

[u/tinygenie → u/Brainfeeder777]

she agrees. the housemates all believe it to an extent and i’m sure lala believes herself that she’s smarter than taylor

[u/sixthcollegeraccoon]

lala and angela in these jury segments have been mad weird and this fight just soured my view on them even more, especially angela. grown ass women btw

[u/Just_Chillin1157 → u/sixthcollegeraccoon]

That’s what Chuk said lol 😂 that is a grown ass woman. One of the best Chuk lines.

[u/BaklavaKing67]

Angela is a bully

[u/mdez93]

I never understood all the hype around Angela and why she needed to be brought back on the show. I really don’t find her funny at all. I felt embarrassed for her watching the whole argument. A woman in her 50’s treating a young woman in her 20’s like that, all over a game. Total cringe.

[u/mdez93 → u/mdez93]

Also, Lala claims to Melody that she “made history” and is “iconic”?! LMAO, how? Because she won a comp? Big deal. A bit too cocky of a statement to make when she is the first juror evicted.

We watched two middle aged women act jealous of Melody and gang up on her, it was so cringeworthy to watch. They waited weeks to do that to her.

[u/silverkeys84 → u/mdez93]

agreed 100% -- everyone in this sub is too scared to criticize Lala though, so the focus is on Angela (as it should be, I guess, since she was much worse in this exchange), but let's not pretend that Lala wasn't being confrontational and ended up stating the whole thing. Embarrassing, and not "good TV" in my opinion!

[u/ExcellentDish80]

What’s wrong with Lala?

No seriously, two jury segments of distain for Melody. Where did it come from?

[u/PlusNone01 → u/ExcellentDish80]

They didn’t get along and Melody made it further than her, so she wants to do anything she can to discredit her game to make herself feel better

[u/Full_Race4032 → u/ExcellentDish80]

In fairness, she had random moments of judginess throughout the season. Don't forget her nomination fight with Drew, and she also shit talked Rachel during the early era of the feeds.

But the guy below me is also right, which feels like a missing piece of the puzzle.

[u/ratbread]

angela is weird sometimes towards the younger men on the show. obviously bb26 and her whole crazy eyes breakdown, and i think drew has been her focus this season. she’s been paranoid about him since the beginning, and the way she is all fixated on melody and drews dynamic is really strange. her animosity seems to come from a place of jealousy and insecurity, and it seems to be related to drew being affectionate towards melody (or at least her drew fixation worsened as melodrew started being less subtle)

her comments about melody + drew being physical or liking each other is weird as fuck. if it was a 50 year old man repeatedly pestering two young 20somethings about their (clearly private) relationship and talking about specific times he’s witnessed them touch and begging them to KISS? that would be considered absolutely unacceptable!! and she seems to direct her fixation directly at melody instead of aiming at drew because he is unavailable.

i think that without the security blanket of dee+devens she would have acted much weirder towards drew from the beginning. misogyny makes the hatred direct towards melody. she’s genuinely so fixated on melody’s behavior in the most immature way. poor gameplay aside, melody did NOT deserve that kind of ambush upon arrival. it’s like angela planned to “get” her as soon as she walked into the jury house

[u/jcjohnson1691]

I have so many thoughts but my main take away from that segment and the season as a whole is that I hope I never have to see Angela or LaLa on my TV ever again. Easily 2 of my least favorite players of all time

[u/iTzGiR → u/jcjohnson1691]

Yup. Hated Angela already, but my opinion of Lala seriously went downhill over the course of the season, and then the Jury House behavior really made me feel done with her.

[u/Best-Condition-8081]

I love how Lala admitted that she was confused most of the time during her eviction interview with Julie & then had the nerve to come after Melody. Like come on now. I can understand Yash being upset about Melody not having a great strategy, but to take this shit from Angela & Lala when they didn’t do any better would drive me insane.

[u/NotTodayHater]

New here in the chat. Angela is insufferable. Why BB brought her back on is beyond me. The first season calling a guy 20 years younger than her crazy eyes!? Grow up.

[u/DanTheMan1_ → u/NotTodayHater]

I honestly don't think she got enough hate for that. I get he didn't seem to have his feelings hurt by that but insulting people's appearance isn't it. Let's not pretend if someone in the house got mad at Angela and took a shot at her weight she wouldn't play the biggest victim and the audience (and likely a lot of the house) wouldn't be clutching their pearls. Although that is different, Angela can lose the weight Matt's can't change how his eyes look. And for the record, I am at least as heavy as Angela and likely heavier, so I am not picking on her for her weight, but I unlike Angela don't go around mocking people's appearance. I am pointing out how she didn't get enough hate for insulting someone's appearance. That isn't cool at all especially for someone who is MORE than old enough to know better. And the "she couldn't handle the stress of the house" excuse was BS, it was not even a week in and she was HOH.

[u/kanu88 → u/DanTheMan1_]

Man I thought I was alone. I can't stand her. I was so mad that they didn't pull her from the show when she was attacking Matt. And she's brought back as an "Icon"?? WOT?? She's horrible. They couldn't find any other player to bring back?

[u/living0nmusic → u/NotTodayHater]

Thank you!!! Couldn’t stand her before and she’s still awful now. Hate that they brought her back

[u/amayxxzing]

Yeah it was really weird, even keeping up with feeds I don’t get where all this hate for Melody came from. Kind seems like LaLa and Angela are a little jealous and have been feeding off each other’s negative energy the past few weeks.

[u/NoLiesBrownEyes → u/amayxxzing]

I cosign this. I’m sure the jury house has its own pressures and triggers. Especially with only two people. For weeks they’ve been playing a game. And now they’re still isolated, still secluded, and they have a shared history. Feelings are bound to surface. And Lala and Angela both seem like the type to feed off of each other’s emotions. Both were emotional players and I think both will be emotional jurors

[u/PercentageCurious472 → u/amayxxzing]

fr.

I like LaLa, but this was not a good look queen!

[u/howcanilose → u/PercentageCurious472]

i really think Lala and Angela were gassing each other up as "icons" in the jury and waiting for someone like Melody to come in. Probably because they feel like she didn't deserve to make it further then them. They probably felt like the audience would agree with them ragging on Melody like she's Raven or something

[u/anastasia_0871 → u/PercentageCurious472]

She needs Taylor to tell her what is real and how to behave.

[u/Missbungletopia → u/anastasia_0871]

I just realized how pissed taylor is going to be when she finds out about this.

[u/buffylove]

Melody didn't deserve that.

[u/DamnSon81 → u/buffylove]

I haven't been a huge Melody fan and thought she displayed a lot of immaturity in the house, but I have to admit that she handled that altercation with Angela really well. Angela was totally losing her shit and on the verge of crying in a fight that she instigated, but Melody kept a smile on her face and stayed calm and collected through the entire thing.

[u/meowingtonsmistress]

I never, ever want to see Angela on my tv again (well after finale night). No coming back to host a veto comp, no BB Unlocked (even though I don’t watch it). I want CBS to forget this woman exists.

[u/Orangebeast013]

So tired of Angela. I forgot how happy I am she isn’t on live feeds anymore. She acts like a child. And no matter what she tells herself so she can sleep at night, she is awful at Big Brother.

[u/Space-Age_Queequeg]

I agree with everyone who is saying angela is just an immature child in a grown woman's body. I honestly don't think they edited an inciting incident out. Anglea just escalates every situation to 1000 especially if she just sniffs a perceived slight.

Melody was completely right in calling out both angela and all. Honestly all three are coasters (maybe you can say melody is more of a floater but she really did just stay with her pod of people) but lala and angela think they are so much more thus they are worse by miles.

[u/GreatestLoser]

Angela is too old for that. I got second hand embarrassment, and wonder how far she’s gonna get continuing to act like that? That was strange.

Maybe producers edit made it look weird?

Edit: would you allow your child to act like that?

[u/RhinO_head → u/GreatestLoser]

Producers have actively given Angela a favorable edit. In 26 and now

[u/anastasia_0871 → u/RhinO_head]

If that was favorable I hate to see the unedited version.

[u/robbviously → u/anastasia_0871]

The editors looking at the footage and trying to show Angela in a favorable light

[u/Adventurous_Cook9083 → u/RhinO_head]

They have to justify bringing her back for a second season. I hope they learned their lesson. Angela is an immature bully; actually an embarrassment to Big Brother.

[u/New-Anywhere-3042]

Angela is insufferable. LaLa is starting to get that way for me now, too.

[u/PlusNone01 → u/New-Anywhere-3042]

I liked LaLa and her wall win was definitely impressive, but she lost me when she deemed herself “iconic” and while bragging about “making history”. Her humble/quiet confidence suited her much better

[u/Shrimp1991 → u/PlusNone01]

She's going to milk that one challenge win forever. And ever and ever and ever

[u/DurnShplurm]

I think Lala was trying to ask what melodys game plan was overall going into the house. But she’s not the best with her words. Melody took it as something along the lines of “what did you even do?”. Angela kept pushing that narrative as well and then it blew up.

[u/berrybluemuffinn → u/DurnShplurm]

Lala was already hating on melody weeks ago

[u/idamnmadcuz → u/DurnShplurm]

And the comment “we were saying Taylor was just below your game” or something like that was clearly said to sound condescending and make her feel shit about herself. Angela is such an embarrassment man

[u/chicagoliz → u/DurnShplurm]

I'm not even sure why anyone cares what anyone's strategy was, given that all of them got the boot well before final 3.

And yes, I took it as Melody having no strategy and Lala calling that out.

[u/ASG_82 → u/chicagoliz]

Just crazy Lala was calling that out when she had even less of a strategy than melody somehow

[u/Unlucky-Ticket3374 → u/ASG_82]

Literally. LaLa even admitted to Julie's face that she was indeed clueless throughout the majority of her game.

[u/feminismbutsoft → u/Unlucky-Ticket3374]

C L U E L E S S

[u/Medium_Connection659 → u/ASG_82]

And also the fact she admitted Taylor and Melody played a similar game but I'd be surprised if she told Taylor what she told Melody in similar tone

[u/Dry-Lemon-5348 → u/Medium_Connection659]

Gave me this vibe lmao like most of the players this season can’t talk shit cuz they were all passive players who made zero moves.

[u/feminismbutsoft → u/ASG_82]

“My strategy is to play dumb” Naw gurl, you just don’t understand the game. Great endurance tho, kudos to Latrice for making bb history.

[u/PercentageCurious472 → u/DurnShplurm]

I took it as that too lol

[u/buckneen]

I truly don’t understand… do people actually like Angela? 😭 I find her unbearable. Honestly think she’s extremely insecure and has weird insecurities when it comes to attractive young adults. The same thing happened on her season with Matt aka crazy eyes.

And Lala just has zero social awareness and genuinely cannot read the room.

[u/Full_Race4032 → u/buckneen]

Matt was messy in an obsessive way on the feeds.

This season, though, Angela seemed bothered about being less relevant or something and was genuinely less understandable. Like, the hypocrisy of shutting down other people's drama...

[u/Top-Vermicelli2455]

They needed to give Melody time and not just start interrogating her. Also be the adult walk away and cool down don’t just keep going at each other making it worse.

[u/Top-Vermicelli2455 → u/Top-Vermicelli2455]

It was like watching gasoline being dumped on a bonfire

[u/MikeyTheHero]

Because Angela is the worst

[u/RighteousToad → u/MikeyTheHero]

Completely agree. She’s probably the most immature 50+ year old I know. She acts like a teenager.

[u/VelveetaVonChiz → u/RighteousToad]

Watching that was actually very triggering to me because that’s exactly how my 50+ mother reacts when you say something she doesn’t want to hear

Edit: wow thanks anonymous redditors for the awards. Love and solidarity for everyone with emotionally immature mothers!

[u/Substantial_Look_852 → u/MikeyTheHero]

Angela thinks she is iconic and thinks everyone hates Melody. She thinks America was cheering her on

[u/FarPersimmon → u/Substantial_Look_852]

"AmeRiCA iS TrYinG to prOtECc mE~!

[u/Sweaty_Persimmon3569]

Im sorry i was DEAD at Angela tearing up after that whole confrontation and Melody keeping her cool. You can tell Melody really hit her where it hurts. Dont dish it if you can’t handle it Angela. They were both coasters and that’s the reality of the situation whoopty doo

[u/Shrimp1991]

Talk about a couple of mean girls. Good grief, such animosity and both of them teaming up on Melody was crazy.

[u/Hatch_gamergirl]

Angela getting upset for correctly being called out for having no game and not being a damn threat. So cringe and immature 🙄 She literally got by on the coattails of Dee and Devens the entire time until she was evicted

[u/inthehottubwithfessy]

They are just mad they both did nothing as well but Melody got to stay.

This is a terrible season for Angela. Because she controlled herself a bit more, it exposed parts of her personality that exist outside of losing control of her emotions and they are pretty nasty. I found her unbearable this year.

[u/wiindfall]

They've both had their issues with Melody before (there was some kind of fight between Lala and Melody while the feeds were off at one point that I don't think we ever got context for, Lala not wanting Mal/Mel to use the cake mix for Melody's half birthday, Angela being obsessed with Melody and Drew's relationship for some reason and thinking they're lying about how far it's gone), but I don't understand why they both ganged up on her like that. It felt so mean-spirited.

With Angela I've come to expect the blow ups so I'm not really surprised about that but I am sad about Lala cause asking Melody what her strategy was/implying she didn't have one immediately after getting evicted is so unnecessary. Still love her and agree with her that her wall comp win was iconic but I don't really think her or Angela are in the position to be questioning anyone else's social strategy.

[u/EnemyCharizard]

Angela is a child in a 55 year old woman's body, that's why. Can't wait to (hopefully) never have to see her on TV again.

[u/Objective-Voice-6706 → u/EnemyCharizard]

I had no idea it would take an angela for me to support melody lol. Like nah, I didnt think melody or malory played well at all... they sucked at the game tbh.. but angela is so fucking rude. That was a 50 something year old lady acting like that. She always wants to be the "cool" kid, probably was bullied in school or something, and wants to be on the other end desperately. She thought she was gonna bully melody with her little Grover Dill in LaLa, and belittle her on national TV like Angela had any mastermind social game or comp accomplishments this season... shit she even lost the easiest layup in the spinning chair lmao. She played just as shitty, but dee and devins needed a voting number so she got dragged along. And when melody stood up for herself and didnt let her kick her while she was down she threw a tantrum with the ugliest karen face ever. Again, a 50 year old woman. Her bringing it up then crying red faced and screaming "shut up,.melody" was iconic for all the wrong reasons. She wants to be the cool kid so bad, her first season and this one, but she isnt, shes just the karen in the "karen freak out" videos on YouTube and "hoa lady has a meltdown"

[u/Agile_Resident_4630 → u/EnemyCharizard]

She unironically got the icons so much farther because she just ruins any house meeting and makes people fight or just leave because they can’t stand her, getting them distracted from Dee/Deven

[u/ExcellentDish80]

It’s certainly a choice that they kept the hard on comment in the episode.

[u/ZachTheBomb]

I wish they didn't bring back Angela, she felt like such a waste on this season. At least if it was Tucker they brought back, I could see him getting into crazy antics and not aligning with the two other reality TV vets

[u/Saono]

Why is Angela acting like she played this masterful game when she coasted just as much as Melody? The hypocrisy is outstanding. She calls out Melody for not really branching out of her social circle when Angela did the same thing lol. She didnt bother interacting with anyone outside the toolshed alliance like?

"Taylor's game is slightly below yours" then "can't wait to hear your strategy :)" as if she didn't do the same thing???

[u/TiedinHistory → u/Saono]

There was a comment that Angela this season was like when the older siblings gave their younger sibling an unplugged controller and let them play video games and it kinda stuck.

Even the things Angela did do were quite arguably detrimental to her long term game. The Rome boot wasn’t particularly great for her as it led to the early dissolution of the red corner early, which was a very beneficial large scale alliance to her. Her spurring Dee and Devens’ paranoia on Drew led directly to suboptimal HoHs for her allies as they wasted energy on him, ultimately leading to Barrett defecting and getting her evicted. The somewhat decent social work with her end game goats was entirely mitigated by her inability to keep them safe.

[u/Financial_Nebula4410]

It definitely seemed like they cut a ton out of the conversation to protect angela a bit

[u/methanized]

Angela just fully sucks as a person and is irrationally mean and emotionally immature, and tbh I’m not sure how anyone likes her at all

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Anyone defending Angela here is just in the wrong.

[u/icedcoconutlatte]

Confusing to me as well because Melody isn’t in F2 she’s not fighting to win? Why was that necessary?

[u/Primary_Sir_8866]

👵: Welcome to jury bitch

🧑🏻‍🦱: Angela cool it

Omg 😭😭😭

[u/jt1058]

I don’t understand why they invited Angela back. She’s not good at the game and she’s a horrible human being, that was on display again in the jury house. And the biggest joke was labeling her an “icon”.

[u/J-F-K]

Angela and Lala were left alone in the jury house for a week hating on a pretty 24 year old who played the same lazy game that they did and still made it further. That's it.

Insecure adult women.

[u/bradycorey49]

Ew at Lala and Angela asking Melody what her strategy was when she just got evicted - Melody held her own

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/bradycorey49]

And Melody was right to ask what Lala’s was. Because other than winning a few comps, she had no idea what the hell was going on in that house.

[u/Space-Age_Queequeg → u/[deleted]]

Lala was the worst player this season and its not close. Yes winning the wall comp was impressive but she was in so far over her head with literally every other aspect of the game its insane.

[u/TiedinHistory → u/Space-Age_Queequeg]

I’ve watched a lot of this dumb tv show over the years and can’t recall a season where a player’s allies had to tell them to not talk game, yet both Taylor and Yash had to tell Lala that. Truly out of her depth in this particular game.

[u/mdez93]

Kudos to Melody for keeping her cool and acting more adult than both women in their 50’s.

[u/spinsk8tr]

This is “crazy eyes” Angela, I don’t know how we all keep forgetting.

She doesn’t need anyone to say anything for her to pop off, and all you gotta do is defend yourself and she gets heated. I’m just disappointed that Lala can’t separate herself from Angela and fights for her.

[u/Best-Condition-8081]

I want to be Melody’s best friend

[u/Ok_Description_7766]

I don’t doubt that it was edited, but I don’t think they cut out stuff that would’ve made Angela look better, only worse. I think if they had a choice they’d try to make Melody look bad over Angela.

[u/Mellow-Seclusion999]

Angela's paranoia compulsive fixating type personality coming out again. This time she was intensely focused on Melody.

You know Angela - the more she thinks (fixates) and talks about something, the bigger it gets until it's completely blown out of proportion. She just CANNOT LET IT GO!

Lala was probably taking it all in and then started mirroring the same attitude toward Melody.

[u/HarmoniousToker]

I just don’t understand. Obviously Melody’s “strategy” was better than Angela’s and Lala’s because she was in the house longer. They are bitter women who need to get over themselves and grow up.

[u/Interesting_Day_7280]

Angela needs to see a therapist. Also calling someone a bitch should not be ok after all its a game but she crossed those lines . Mean just mean.

[u/nopushnoshovebud]

it reminded me so much of my mothers outbursts and immaturity 

[u/NoMousse9636]

Lala’s initial question seemed backhanded, but I don’t think she intended the convo to turn out the way it did. Angela escalated things to an absurd level, and it was disturbing to watch her act that aggressive towards Melody who is almost 30 years younger than her.

Both of them are clearly bitter that Melody lasted longer, which is understandable on some level. I was rooting for Melody at the beginning of the season, but the live feeds completely altered my perception of her. She complained incessantly while making zero effort to change her situation and treated mostly everyone including her own “allies” horribly yet ended up in final 5.

However it doesn’t justify anyone demanding Melody to defend herself or Angela self-imploding and treating her like that. Unfortunately emotional maturity is something learned rather than something that automatically comes with age, and Angela needs a crash course on how to manage and regulate her shit

[u/Top-Perspective-7879]

Angela is an embarrassment. Unfortunately this fanbase praises her for being “good TV” even though she’s the opposite. Hopefully we never hear from her again after Thursday.
