Moments after celebrating a historic moment, the Cookout now turns on each other. And if you thought the Cookout was heating up before.... Well, you're in for some disappointed, because the Grillmaster has left the building. Big Brother 23 is close to wrapping up, but you can keep up with us on twitter @showmancepod, or on Instagram @ashbuc and @brodybetz! There's only one episode of the pod left for this season, so be sure to subscribe to The Showmance so you don't miss the finale!

This week was a circus -- and I'm not just talking about the HOH competition. Smells like a double eviction week! Things we didn't see coming: our stoic king Xavier unraveling, Tiffany sending her closest ally home, and Zingbot slinging weak zings. Things we did see coming: The Cookout making Big Brother History. Let's get into it! Enjoying the pod? Then subscribe to make sure you're the first to hear from us after every live eviction all summer long.

This week, our forensic chemist / voice actress learned a valuable lesson about the importance of playing proactively instead of reactively -- and the importance of having all your bases covered in the house. We also learned that the Cookout has complete control of the house, even when out of power. But have the few remaining non-Cookout members learned as well, or is it too late?

Sarah Beth is the first woman in the house to be HOH -- but is Kyland really pulling the strings? And is Tiffany really the grill master of the Cookout, or is it someone else? This week, the cracks in the Cookout run deeper than ever, and with a wild card as HOH and a special power in play, the house is sent scrambling to figure out the target.

The game is about to change -- but first, with the Kings in power once again, two Aces, who happen to be early season favorites of ours, face the block for the first time. As we approach jury, the wheat is separating from the chaff, and we see some players rising as threats and powerhouses, while others don't seem to know what game they're playing.

Truly no one can leave this house without being incredibly iconic on the way out, and this week is no exception. If you were worried the drama in the house would leave with Frenchie, then clearly you haven't heard about this man Brent. We don't want to take a cheap shot, but…. He hit some major turbulence this week. Big Brother is on LIVE 24 hours a day -- Did we miss something?

In a completely unsurprising turn of events, Frenchie's “erotic” behavior has turned the entire house against him. And while we do acknowledge that Kyland is HOH this week, this is Frenchie's dad-gum Funhouse, and we're still buckled up for the ride. Big Brother is on LIVE 24 hours a day -- Did we miss something?

It was a day that we all knew was coming eventually, but it hurt nonetheless, and it gave us quite a bit to talk about.

Last week she wanted to win a competition, but now she doesn't? And she was gunning for Da'Vonne, but now she's working with her against Tyler? Or is she? It's hard to keep up with Dani's game, but we're forced to try, because this week, it's all about her. From here on out, evicted houseguests are going to jury, so with jury management on the line, nominations are all the more crucial.

It's Christmastime in the Big Brother house, and it's unseasonably hot! Is it boiling tensions from a divisive HOH comp? Is it the global warming? Is it the hot-headedness of our reigning HOH? The back and forth this week had our heads spinning, but we get down to the bottom of who served up the drama and who took the first swing. Set, [Personal] Game, Match!

With Janelle exiting the house last week and Kaysar still the "house target", our Big Brother season six alum have turned out to be no match for our "modern" houseguests. But as tensions continue to rise amongst a web of alliances in the house, Kaysar may be the least of some houseguests' worries... Enjoying our hot takes?

Memphis, Tennessee is the birthplace of rock 'n' roll and the home of the blues, and our Memphis certainly rocked the house and made some people feel more than blue...(the jokes in the podcast are better, I promise) The houseguests may not have to worry about coronavirus in the house, but some of them are certainly not immune to HOH-itis.

The first eviction is officially behind us! Was it groundbreaking? No. Shocking? Only if you're Kevin. For the rest of us, the real excitement came this week as more alliances formed than we could keep track of. Do we root for the Root? Will we be blessed by the Blessing? What does "The Commission" even mean?? Regardless of who's team you're on, one thing is certain: it's game on, and we're on top of this game.

It's PRANK WEEK in the Big Brother house, and Holly takes HoH for the second time this summer, solidifying her and Michie as the true power couple of the season.

This week the house had to endure the HoH of a straight white man and honestly... we're not mad. Fights, crying, house flips, tacos -- what more could we ask for? Follow along on the journey on Twitter @showmancepod and don't forget to rate and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

ALSO, a big thank you to our fellow BB Podcast JULIE, GIRL! for shouting out to us in their latest episode! Find them on Twitter @JulieGirlPod or at JulieGirlPod.com!

Could a week get any better? As always, follow along with us @ShowmancePod on twitter and leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts.

To say that we are not here for Jack is an understatement, but we still anxiously wait to see what drama unfolds during his HoH reign night after night. And as we continue to cancel more members of the H8ful alliance, we continue to hope Big Brother never gets cancelled, because it's truly all we have to live for.

This season's first HoH reign is over and honestly we're not mad. Christie manifested a WHOLE mess and it was confirmed that Jack isn't just Aquaman: he's also a nightmare.

It. Is. Time. Big Brother is back on CBS for the summer, and with it, your favorite podcast is here! We've been blessed with 2 iconic Julie Chen looks to drool over and 16 fresh, new houseguests to tear apart, and we are not wasting any time.

The double eviction never disappoints and this time we got to say goodbye to a power player in Natalie Eva Marie AND our own true darkness personified: Tom. There's only one night of evictions left and the whole house has officially decided to play the game -- what more could we ask? Follow along on twitter @showmancepod and find more info at showmancepodcast.com. You can also keep up with Brody and Ashley on Instagram at @brodybetz and @ashbuc.

An HoH, a veto, and an eviction all in one night? AND Tamar has power? AND Tomato is getting broken up??? Obsessed.

Follow along on twitter @showmancepod and find more info at showmancepodcast.com. You can also keep up with Brody and Ashley on Instagram at @brodybetz and @ashbuc.

The Tomato power couple hit us hard this week, with a shockingly difficult-to-swallow eviction of Joey Lawrence. Lolo is still out of her mind, Tamar is still destroying DRs and giving us all wig envy, and Tom spirals completely out of control. At least it's a short HoH? Follow along with us by subscribing and rating this podcast! You can find more info about us and the show at showmancepodcast.com, and keep the conversation going on Twitter @showmancepod. Until next time, ~bye yall~

I guess the best news is that Kato's HoH was a quick one? Somehow, despite the first true backdoor of the season, the biggest drama came from a couple of grown women yelling in the night.

Out, out brief candle! Angela, our queen, we never deserved you. So glad Kaycee could vocalize our affections in a 6 hour eviction speech

Ashley was almost too upset about Brett's eviction to show up to the recording -- but we made it through! The double-eviction brought us a BIG dose of drama as Level 6 leveled one of their own in the biggest blindside of the season (since Rachel, the last member of Level 6 to walk out the door). Follow along as we cover the final weeks in the BB house by subscribing! Find us and more info at showmancepodcast.com. *Yes, this track was re-posted due to a liiiiittle error. Enjoy this one!*

WOW! It's almost like bringing Scottie back was a waste? Hm. All we can do is sit back, enjoy Brett, and count down days until the double eviction. Follow along as the summer winds down at showmancepodcast.com.

Just when you think it can't get better for Level 6, Angela wins the HoH. Our emotionless queen spends the week marinating in power and we have to say: it's a good look. Haleigh and Fessy end up on the block together, a fate he described as "romantic" and she described as "not." The summer is coming to an end soon so don't miss out on the podcast -- subscribe! You an also follow along on ShowmancePodcast.com.

This week, Fessy is the HoH and it truly can't be overstated how much he messed it up. We think Haleigh said it best: We're the worst players in Big Brother history. There's trouble in paradise for our favorite big dumb puppet and the second coming of Rat-cole, and somehow Tyler is more relaxed now than ever.
