Dee Valladares is showing “Big Brother 28” fans how she won “Survivor 45.” She makes people feel comfortable despite knowing she won $1 million on a different show. Valladares, 29, will fan the flames between other players to keep the target off her back.
But there is one flaw that her former and current allies noticed about her game. The Sole Survivor makes it hard to trust her.
Spoiler alert for the eviction on Aug. 27!
Mallory Aurichio Criticizes Dee Valladares’ Distrust in Her ‘Big Brother 28’ Allies
Valladares has been working closely with the other reality icons, Rick Devens of “Survivor” and Angela Murray of “Big Brother 26” and “The Amazing Race 39.” After all, they are the biggest targets and outnumbered by the new cast members.
Drew Campbell and Barrett Pfeffier have been loyal to the icons throughout the season. They are also friendly with the other side of the house. That made Valladares and Murray suspious of them.
Valladares has a habit of questioning her allies about their conversations with other people, then revealing that information to the other side. She did this to Campbell and Mallory Aurichio. The latter said this is what she hated about Valladares’s strategy.
“She didn’t like that I stayed quiet at the nomination ceremony,” the rocket scientist told Entertainment Weekly. “I felt like her logic was, ‘If you’re in an alliance with me, you should be on bad terms with everybody else.'”
“I don’t think that’s a way people should have to play ‘Big Brother,'” she later said. “I should be allowed to keep things to myself. For example, Drew told Dee that [Yash Patel] wanted her out on his HoH. So then Dee called in Yosh and then asked Drew to say it in front of him. I don’t think that’s the right way to play.”
Campbell changed his strategy to holding onto information longer because of this. Valladares once confronted him about it and he explained it was because she made this move. Her inability to trust her allies unfortunately makes her a dangerous ally.
Former ‘Big Brother’ Houseguests Return for a Twist
ParamountThe show celebrated reaching 1,000 episodes on Aug. 27. A twist was teased with a clip of Britney Haynes, Tiffany Mitchell, Cody Calafiore and Keanu Soto wearing royal attire on a castle set.
“This unprecedented twist will challenge the houseguests socially and competitively,” Julie Chen Moonves said. “There will be no head of household, no Veto competition, no blockbuster, but when all is said and done, someone’s game will come to an end before the next live eviction.”
Moonves also said houseguests who want to reach jury will have to survive this challenge. The jury was a hot topic this week when Campbell, Aurichio, and Taylor Brown were on the block. Valladares and Devens targeted Aurichio despite their alliance because she was the biggest threat in competitions.
The outcome of the twist will be revealed on Sunday, Aug. 30. There won’t be any “live feeds” during the three days beforehand. It’s unclear if this twist will hurt or help Valladares’ game until the rules are revealed.
