Big Brother 28’s Dee and Devens Beg America for Power — Fans Clap Back Hard on Social Media

Dee and Devens Ask America for Help — and the Internet Says No

In the Big Brother 28 house, it’s always a gamble to appeal directly to the audience. Dee Valladares and Rick Devens took that gamble — and it hasn’t gone the way they hoped.

The two returning players made a direct appeal to viewers, asking America to send them a power advantage. The reaction on social media, particularly on X, was swift and not exactly warm. Rather than rallying support, the post sparked widespread pushback from fans who feel the veterans already have more than enough influence in the game.

Why Fans Are Frustrated

The timing of the appeal made the reaction even stronger. Devens has already received the Diamond Power of Veto through the BB Time Capsule twist — an enormous advantage that lets him secretly remove a nominee and name the replacement. Now, asking viewers to potentially send another advantage toward his closest ally Dee has struck many fans as greedy.

The trending discussion on X made it clear: many viewers would actually prefer to see Dee, Devens, and their alliance face more adversity in the game, not less. Some pointed out that the veterans’ experience and existing connections give them a structural advantage that newer players don’t have — making the idea of a third layer of viewer-granted power feel deeply unfair.

Dee’s Strategic Angle

What’s interesting is that Dee’s appeal wasn’t purely about getting a power for the sake of safety. According to the live feeds, Dee has expressed genuine curiosity about how America views her game. If viewers rewarded her with a power, she said she could interpret that as a sign of support and play more aggressively.

But if the social media reaction is any indicator, America has other ideas. Dee’s comments about wanting to know who viewers dislike may have unintentionally given fans a clear opportunity to send a very different kind of message.

What This Means for Their Game

Online trends don’t always predict voting outcomes — Dee still has fans who support her gameplay, and reactions on X can shift quickly depending on what happens inside the house. But the backlash is a signal worth watching.

For two players who have thrived on experience and social capital, this moment of public overreach could be a turning point — not just in how America votes, but in how the rest of the house perceives them.
