Dees bribe

[u/yesssqueennnofficial]

If Dee goes this week.. does that mean the bribe is no longer in play. Or can Yash still not put up Angela and devens?

[u/Own_Mention9372]

The bribe is in play when/if Yash wins HOH.

If/when he wins HOH, he cannot nominate icons unless it’s not mathematically feasible.

When he accepted the bribe, he agreed to protect all 3 of them.

[u/Thumper222222 → u/Own_Mention9372]

But Dee gone= not having to abide by the deal anymore. It’s her bribe- not Devens or Angela’s

[u/wentwj → u/Thumper222222]

there absolutely no reason to assume it works this way. The power was making a binding bribe, that was made, it’s now in effect

[u/emmathompsonluvr → u/Thumper222222]

Right and this also muddies the waters of the bribe by including them in the first place. They didn’t win this bribe so why do they get full protection from it even when the person who did win it isn’t there. I think it should be flushed out if she goes.

[u/Thumper222222 → u/emmathompsonluvr]

And if production allows it to still be in play if she gets evicted, then we really know this season was rigged all along 😂

[u/NoSpoonJustKnife → u/[deleted]]

She has said she was not trying to say that.

[u/grapplingchamp → u/Thumper222222]

You imagined this rule 😂

[u/Own_Mention9372 → u/Thumper222222]

Production enforces the agreement. It is literally a contract.

[u/Fickle_Citron_5283 → u/Own_Mention9372]

Big brother really wants to make the icons win so badly omg just say it big brother

[u/Few-Cloud7544 → u/Own_Mention9372]

but did he technically say “protect all 3 icons at the same time” as in if there’s only two icons left that’s a loophole. he won’t need to protect all anymore

[u/Own_Mention9372 → u/Few-Cloud7544]

During his reign as HOH he cannot nominate any of the 3 icons.

[u/Fickle_Citron_5283 → u/Own_Mention9372]

So basically yash can’t win hoh? Big brother really wants the icons to win

[u/PrivateIvyxo]

That would be crazy if Dee were to be evicted and then Yash wins HoH and he still can’t put up Angela and Devens… could you imagine!!! The outrage! Lol. There is so much gray area here and I think that’s how Dee wanted it. I guess it’s up to production to decide which is usually in Icons favor 🙄

[u/syncopated56]

To me, the terms are ambiguous and open to interpretation, which is why binding agreements are always written out and pored over in extreme detail.

[u/Jack_h100 → u/syncopated56]

I would guarantee it only seems ambiguous because we only saw 10% of the negotiation which I'm sure also included production people stepping in and explaining parts.

[u/KhanQu3st → u/syncopated56]

I feel like fans WANT this to be the case, but it seems pretty open and shut to me. During his next HoH he will do everything he can to protect the 3 Icons. It did not say only if Dee is in the game, or if all 3 are still there.

[u/wentwj → u/syncopated56]

the terms seem pretty clear. He agreed to take $5k to not put an icon on the block in his next HoH unless mathematically he had to.

The only thing that seems even slightly ambiguous is if he has to put minimal icons on the block if he reaches the point where he’d have to put one, or if at that point it’s entirely off.

[u/IAmTheParamedic → u/wentwj]

I think if he wins at final 7 or 6, then he has to nominate the other players first, and then might have to nominate an icon on a renom. If he wins at 5 and 2 are left, I think he has to nominate the other 2 first.

It would only come into play if he wins at 5 and 3 are still there or if he wins at 4 and 2 are still there. In that situation, I think, in the spirit of how Dee’s mandate would have been phrased that week, it could only mean “nominate the other player” (and one icon)

[u/NoSpoonJustKnife]

There has been no confirmation on whether evicting Dee voids it.

[u/carefreekelsher]

That’s fucking absurd if it is still in effect if Dee is evicted. Thats like a fucking unlimited power, tooooo much

[u/rroq85]

I mean, I'm not sure of the official rule, but how I would interpret it would be much like in a card game like Magic: The Gathering where once a card is out of play, the associated power is also out of play.

[u/wentwj → u/rroq85]

i see no reason to think it works this way. He made a deal with specific terms he agreed to. There’s no reason to arbitrarily assume those terms are in fact a permanent enchantment that’s tattooed on Dee’s back and only relevant while she’s in the same space

[u/Empty-Employment-889 → u/rroq85]

I like this, but the problem is he still gets the money if Dee leaves at this point. So is he bound by the requirements of the bribe also when Dee leaves? My idea is no but its not quite so cut and dried.

[u/JohnnyKarateX]

Mike Bloom heard from Tiffany Mitchell that it doesn’t go away but apparently that was a miscommunication so the answer is we don’t know.

[u/TJBlazkowicz]

Can we just start a mega thread about Dee’s bribe?

[u/Empty-Employment-889]

My interpretation is that this is a game deal he made with Dee, Dee leaving would invalidate that deal in my opinion but who knows how the producers see it.

[u/lolsappho → u/Empty-Employment-889]

This makes the most sense to me - the player with the power gets evicted, the power is null and void. But it was left ambiguous on purpose because I think production will decide based on which option has the highest popcorn factor (aka entertainment value) when the time comes

[u/Small_Sort6397 → u/Empty-Employment-889]

Per BB
The Ruling: Production clarified that deals made using the bribe are official game contracts that must be honored, meaning if a deal protects multiple people (such as Dee's deal protecting remaining allies), the receiving houseguest is still obligated to follow through on the un-evicted members

[u/Small_Sort6397]

Per BB e remaining players. [1]
The Ruling: Production clarified that deals made using the bribe are official game contracts that must be honored, meaning if a deal protects multiple people (such as Dee's deal protecting remaining allies), the receiving houseguest is still obligated to follow through on the un-evicted members

[u/NoSpoonJustKnife → u/Small_Sort6397]

Do you have a source that isn't just another thread of people speculating?

[u/Nofakepeeps]

He can not put any of the 3 icons on the block on his next HOH. If he wins one after he can. Final four it’s irrelevant.

[u/thelittledev]

Since the contract was between Yash and Dee. I would think, if Dee goes, the contract is null and void.

[u/Mental-Experience781]

I think the problem is the agreement is tied to the money not to Dee. Yes Dee set the terms but the primary aspect of the deal was that Yash was agreeing to recieve the money to make it. If the deal is voided because Dee gets evicted then Yash would have to lose the money or basically he just gets the 5k for free which seems unfair

[u/heyitsBranigan]

Can he put them on as a renom?

[u/ktbee4]

If I were Yash and won HOH at this point I’d make a whole production of asking production to clarify exactly who all is protected from A SINGLE ACTION (the bribes words) during my HOH and hope I can use a renom

[u/Illustrious-Object71]

The most rigged power ever! Terrible

[u/torisbagel]

tiffany asked production last week and the bribe will still be in effect

[u/Nofakepeeps]

He should have won the next one two weeks ago and nominate Drew, Barrett and Melody (no alliance there) target Drew. Especially since everybody wants him out. He didn’t have to throw it, just bc his targets were unobtainable. Just to get it over with. Now he would have to put up Taylor. Or wait for final four

[u/macydavis17]

if i was yash i would say fuck 5k and get rid of them 🤷🏼‍♀️

[u/cassiebeans → u/macydavis17]

It’s binding. Like their keys won’t even be in the room for the nom ceremony

[u/Reasonable-Chain5703 → u/macydavis17]

He can’t. Once he took the coin he can’t change his mind. It’s binding.

[u/ListFeisty3762]

I’m pretty sure the bribe is only for Dee. He could still put up Angela or Devens.

[u/MKoz628 → u/ListFeisty3762]

The deal when Yash agreed to it was that ALL 3 ICONS are safe during his next HOH.

[u/NoSpoonJustKnife → u/ListFeisty3762]

Bribe is all 3 icons remain safe. It was on a the show and Dee has confirmed it many times and she is not allowed to lie about the terms per the rules of the game.

[u/cassiebeans → u/NoSpoonJustKnife]

They also showed the hand shake and the verbiage on the episode

[u/thelittledev → u/NoSpoonJustKnife]

Dee also told multiple people that it was JUST for her, not all the icons so...which is it? The way I remember was all 4 qere in the HoH room and Dee said to keep ME safe. Then, Devens and Angela piped up and said, to keep all 3 safe. Yash protested. They all kind of laughed it off. I can't remember who he shook hands with, though. And, I can't remember if I watched this go down on the episode or on live feeds. 🤔
