Barrett Pfeiffer, evicted from “Big Brother 28” during a double eviction, says he does not consider his week as Head of Household a failure, even though he did not manage to remove either of the season’s “Survivor” alums, Dee Valladares and Rick Devens.
“I think it’s easy to say that my HOH was a waste with Angela [Murray] going home as opposed to a ‘Survivor’ going home,” Pfeiffer, 28, told Page Six on Friday after his eviction. “But at the same time, ‘Big Brother’ is a numbers game and getting rid of a number in a trio that was the ‘Icons’ is still a big deal.”
Pfeiffer, a jumbotron engineer, argued that although Valladares, 29, and Devens, 42, survived the week and picked up Yash Patel and Taylor Brown as allies, evicting Murray still weakened their position in the house.
“They did lose a number. Angela was a block for them in the final eight, going into final seven,” he said. “And ‘The Crossovers’ was, to them, a solidified final five in the final eight.”
“So I think definitely it was not a waste, because it took away one of their numbers, and it could have completely reformed the game going forward with going against the ‘Icons’ and getting them out one by one, because it lessened their chance of winning any competition,” Pfeiffer continued.
He also pointed to a twist that undercut his strategy: “Of course, the bribe ruined all that.” Valladares used the “BB Bribe” power to block Patel from nominating any of the three “Icons,” in exchange for $5,000.
Murray’s response
Last week, Murray, 53, told Page Six that Pfeiffer had made a mistake by turning on their alliance and evicting her.
“I think he’s very much so gonna regret it. Not the right time, Barrett! Not the right time.”
Murray, a real estate agent, also predicted correctly that Pfeiffer would be the next to go during the double eviction.
“He’s public enemy No. 1, and he has some big hitters coming for him. And he better watch out.”
“Big Brother 28” airs Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, with episodes available to stream the next day on Paramount+.
