In the first unanimous vote of the season, it's sure to go down in history but not for the reasons Brent thinks it will. In true Big Brother fashion, we have a week of targets, pawns, and throwing competitions. Everything seems to be going smoothly, but showmances have gone public and that could change the game. The house has its eyes on the target and they are working together to get them out. But when this week ends and they are no longer all on the same page, who will they target next? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bbontheblock/support

Oh how the mighty have fallen and we love to see who is rising in their ashes. Kyland has one of the smoothest HOH's we've ever seen and the house is agreeing on more than they are disagreeing on... for now. We talk about how the house has started a collective hit list and speculate about Frenchie's fall from grace. Another eviction ends the week and you know how it goes - we start it all over again, with even more twists around the corner. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bbontheblock/support

Frenchie makes too many promises to keep and as a result has to turn his back on one of his first friends in the house. After a week of his targets saving themselves, the two people on the block were both promised safety at one point by the HOH. New alliances are formed, new alliances are broken, and the first houseguests is evicted from the Big Brother Beach Club. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bbontheblock/support
