Dee Valladares and Rick Devens have found themselves at the center of a Big Brother 28 social media storm after making a direct appeal to America for another power.
The Survivor veterans are trending on X after a conversation on the Big Brother live feeds caught the attention of fans. During the discussion, Dee and Devens encouraged viewers to vote for Dee to receive the next power, with Dee suggesting that she wished she knew which Houseguests America disliked so she could target them.
“Dee and Devens asking us to vote for Dee for the power, she said she wishes she would know who we hated so can go after them for us…” one fan posted on X.
The comment quickly gained attention among Big Brother 28 viewers, but perhaps not in the way Dee and Devens were hoping.
Fans React to Dee and Devens’ Appeal
According to the trending discussion on X, many fans pushed back against the pair’s request, with some arguing that Dee, Devens and their allies are actually among the players they would like to see face adversity in the game.
The timing of the request may have made the reaction even stronger.
Devens has already benefited from America’s involvement this season after receiving the Diamond Power of Veto through the BB Time Capsule twist. The powerful advantage allows him to secretly remove a nominee from the block and name the replacement, giving him significant influence over the game.
Now, asking viewers to potentially send another advantage toward his closest group has sparked plenty of discussion about just how much power the veterans should have.

Did Dee Misread the Audience?
Dee’s comment about wanting to know who America dislikes could prove particularly interesting.
Big Brother players rarely have a completely accurate picture of how they are being received outside the house. While Houseguests can attempt to play to the audience, America’s votes can sometimes provide clues about which players viewers are supporting — or which players they want to see shaken up.
Dee appears willing to use that information strategically. If America rewarded her with a power, she could potentially interpret the vote as a sign that viewers support her game and want her to make a move.
But judging by the immediate reaction on X, the appeal may have reminded some fans that they have the ability to influence the game in the opposite direction.
The Veterans Continue to Hold Influence
Dee and Devens have emerged as two important players in the early weeks of Big Brother 28, alongside fellow returning player Angela Murray.
Their experience with reality competition shows has helped make them major strategic figures inside the house, but that visibility has also made them easy targets for viewers who would rather see the new Houseguests take control.
Devens has already served as Head of Household and successfully navigated a major week of the game, while his Diamond Power of Veto remains another potentially game-changing weapon.
That makes the possibility of Dee receiving another viewer-controlled advantage especially controversial among fans who believe the veteran players already have enough influence.
Could the Backlash Affect America’s Vote?
That is now the big question.
As Dee and Devens campaign for viewers to send another power their way, the reaction outside the house suggests that America may have other ideas.
Of course, social media trends don’t necessarily represent the entire Big Brother voting audience. Dee still has supporters who appreciate her gameplay, and online reactions can change quickly depending on what happens inside the house.
But one thing is certain: Dee and Devens got America talking.
And when the Houseguests are asking viewers to show them who they love — and who they hate — the next America’s Vote could send a very interesting message back into the Big Brother house.
What do you think? Would you vote to give Dee the next power, or would you rather see another Houseguest receive the advantage?
