Tea parties are usually seen as civilized affairs where people are on their best, most polite behavior. What happened Sunday night in the Big Brother house was certainly anything but that.

The Toolshed has been mowing through the competition thus far in Big Brother Season 28, but cracks began to show on Thursday even as the alliance achieved their goal of sacking Rome. With tension bubbling inside their own alliance, can the Toolshed continue to hold all the power? Or will a new Head of Household […]

Thursday’s eviction episode settled Week 2 with Rome becoming the second evictee of the season (read my recap here), but the real game began once the live show ended.
