Big Brother featured Mallory Aurichio and Melody Morris screaming and crying over Dee Valladares' decision to name Mallory the replacement nominee during the Season 28 episode that aired Wednesday night on CBS.

The Big Brother episode began with La Trice "Lala" Verrett lashing out about Drew Campbell's accusation she was gunning for the Icons.

"Drew is a liar, but I'm not just going to lay down and take it -- throwing me under the bus and thinking I'm just going to take it. Hell no," Lala told the cameras.

Lala broke down crying to Angela Murray about how Drew had looked at her right in the face and lied. Lala accused Drew and Barrett Pfeiffer of fooling the house, but Angela said she definitely mentioned targeting the Icons at one point.

Lala admitted she had thrown out Rick Devens' name, and Angela said "it's okay" and she appreciated her honesty and loyalty. Lala also tried to do some damage control with Dee.

Taylor Brown also lamented about being on the chopping block because of "lies."

Meanwhile, Melody said it was "annoying" that Drew was on the block because he was one of her closest allies.

"I can't afford to lose him, even though he's pissing me off. I think the Icons are trying to take shots at F.A.P. I think that's a stupid-ass game move, to be honest with you," Melody vented to the Big Brother cameras, referring to her alliance with Drew, Barrett and Mallory.

It then became time to pick players for the Power of Veto competition.

In addition to the HoH and the three nominees, Barrett and Angela were also selected by random draw to compete. This marked the fifth time Barrett had been picked to play, and he said his goal was to save Drew.

Drew thought he was "back on Dee's good graces," but both Lala and Taylor wanted him gone. Even Angela said she'd save Lala if she won the PoV.

Devens realized that Dee was most likely going to have to name a replacement nominee, and he thought Mallory would be a good choice because she was super close to the other side of the house and had attempted to flip the Kamu Kirk vote.

"As it stands right now [F.A.P.] has a controlling majority within The Moshpit alliance, and next week, it only takes four votes to evict somebody, so it not only makes sense, but it's timely, that we need to get one of them out right now," Devens explained in the Big Brother Diary Room.

Devens got Angela and Dee on the same page, and the trio agreed Mallory should be their next target. However, Dee acknowledged that keeping her nominations the same would obviously be the ideal outcome.

The houseguests then transported to 1982, where the houseguests walked into neon lights, spandex, headbands, and exercise machines.

The participating houseguests were required to "feel the burn" and do as many reps as possible on different fitness machines within the time given. Players were eliminated at the end of each round until only one person remained.

The challenge came down to Lala, Taylor and Barrett having to exercise their tongues.

Dee noted that Taylor was her target and so she didn't want her to win.

In the end, Lala won the Golden Power of Veto, and everyone knew she was going to take herself off the chopping block.

After the PoV competition, Dee and Devens tried to bring Haley Thogmartin in closer with them, and Dee decided to keep it a secret from Drew and Barrett that she had bribed Yash Patel to keep Devens and Angela safe.

Dee let Drew and Barrett know that she wanted to name Mallory the replacement nominee while keeping Taylor as her target. But Barrett was upset that Yash and Haley were going to be safe this week.

"It is selfish [to nominate Mallory]. It is so selfish," Barrett complained to the Big Brother cameras.

Drew also thought it was "really dumb" not to nominate Haley or Yash.

"This kind of proves where we're at with them. We are very expendable," Drew lamented to Barrett, who agreed and added that this "felt like a slap in the face."

Drew told Barrett that Dee had been "nothing but bad" for his game and he no longer trusted the Icons completely. Drew and Barrett concluded that The Crossovers alliance -- which was also comprised of Dee, Devens, Angela -- was "dead."

Devens walked up to Drew and Barrett when they were conspiring, and although he didn't actually hear anything, he pretended like he had to make them sweat.

Drew worried that the guys were in big trouble, and so they immediately attempted to smooth things over with Devens.

Drew admitted to Devens that he didn't know how the Icons felt about him and he worried that he was on the bottom of The Crossovers.

Devens' plan worked, and he told "the boys" that he was "a little disappointed" in them for questioning Dee's intentions and loyalty.

Dee then warned Mallory that she was going to nominate her simply because she had already done it once before.

Mallory apparently thought it was ridiculous that Dee feared her just because the Survivor alum had nominated her for eviction in the past.

Mallory told Dee that if she won HoH next week, she'd nominate Taylor, Yash and Haley.

Dee was worried that nominating Mallory would burn her bridge with her and blow up The Moshpit.

Mallory broke down into tears and said she hated everyone. She also confirmed that Dee was going to be No. 1 on her hit list going forward.

When Mallory let Melody know that she was in trouble, Melody burst into tears in the Diary Room.

"I am so angry! You f-cking coward! You are such a f-cking coward!" Melody shouted to the Big Brother cameras.

"You're Dee who won Survivor and you're going to sit here and be like, 'I'm going to put up Mallory because it's going to put less blood on my hands.' You are such a coward that it's actually embarrassing."

At the Veto Meeting, Lala used the Power of Veto to save herself, as expected, and then Dee named Mallory the replacement nominee.

Dee insisted it wasn't a "personal move," and then Mallory screamed "f-ck you" in the Diary Room.

"I hate them!" Mallory screamed with tears running down her face.
