The power structure inside the Big Brother 28 house is beginning to take shape after Rick Devens captured the Week 2 Head of Household title. With the HOH key in his hands, Devens wasted no time making moves and has reportedly formed a new eight-person alliance that could become one of the strongest groups in the game.
The new alliance, called The Toolshed, brings together members from two existing groups: The Crossovers and Red Corner. The alliance includes Rick Devens, Dee Valladares, Angela Murray, Drew Campbell, Barrett Pfeiffer, Haley Thogmartin, Kamu Kirk, and Chuk Anyanwu.
By joining forces, the group hopes to control the early weeks of the game and protect their numbers while targeting players outside their circle.
Rome and His Allies Become Targets
With The Toolshed now in place, Devens and his alliance appear to have their sights set on Rome and his closest allies, including Lyric and Jason De Puy.
Although Devens previously considered Lyric as his main target, the HOH’s strategy has shifted into a bigger move. The current plan is to place Melody, Jason, and Lyric on the block, with Melody potentially serving as a pawn while Devens attempts to set up a backdoor plan against Rome.
The move would allow Devens to avoid making Rome the obvious target immediately while keeping his real intentions hidden from the rest of the house.
Drama Erupts Inside the House
The formation of The Toolshed did not go unnoticed. During an alliance conversation in the HOH room, Rome reportedly interrupted the group by ringing the HOH doorbell, only to receive a cold response from those inside.
The moment highlighted the growing tension between Rome’s side of the house and the newly formed majority alliance.
Jason also voiced his frustrations, accusing the alliance of acting like bullies as the lines between the two sides became clearer. Meanwhile, despite the strategic chaos around them, Rome and Lyric continued building their personal connection, with the pair sharing romantic moments in the storage room.
What Happens Next?
With nominations approaching, the game could shift quickly. The Power of Veto competition and America’s Vote twist could completely change Devens’ plans, especially if someone outside The Toolshed gains power.
Fans will be watching closely to see whether Devens can successfully execute his backdoor plan or if Rome and his allies can fight back.
Fans React to The Toolshed Alliance
The formation of The Toolshed alliance has already sparked plenty of discussion among Big Brother 28 fans.
Some viewers believe Devens made a smart early-game move by creating a large majority alliance and positioning himself in a strong spot. Others feel the group may be too large and could become difficult to manage as the season progresses.
Many fans are also questioning whether Rome has become too obvious of a target or if Devens is making a mistake by allowing such a strong personality to remain in the house.
Social media reactions have been mixed, with some fans praising the strategic gameplay while others are already predicting cracks within The Toolshed.
As always in Big Brother, today’s alliance can become tomorrow’s target — and Week 2 is only getting started.
