The microscope
settled on Amanda.

Unlike the earlier halves, no single person dominated. After Andy's hosting share, five cast members cluster within a few points of each other — Amanda, West, Ciara, Kyle, all between 13–16%. This is the shape of a group confrontation, everyone engaged at once, rather than one person on trial holding the floor. Notably, West finally talks: after being the quiet subject of the first two parts, this is his maximum airtime of the night.

Amanda was named 29 times — more than anyone, and by nearly everyone: Andy 12×, Kyle 5×, Mia 5×, West 4×. She's also the top cast talker, and the strain shows in her numbers: 24% of her lines negative (up from earlier parts), her vocabulary running to "sorry," "care," "feelings," "friendship," "watching." Her most negative moment is about no longer being able to watch the episodes because of what people will say about her. This is a person at the center of the room's judgment, and feeling it.

Across all 99 of West's lines in this segment, he says "Ciara" exactly zero times — while naming Amanda four times and singling out Kyle in his apology ("I've hurt you, I've hurt Kyle especially"). Everyone else names her: the host six times, Lindsay three, Amanda three. Whether it's strategic avoidance or simply that his reckoning here is with Amanda and Kyle, the omission is conspicuous — he itemizes the people he's hurt, and she isn't on the list. One honest caveat: the transcript can't see who his "you"s are aimed at, so some of his second-person lines may address her directly without naming her.

A new front opens: Jesse carries the highest share of negative lines in the room (26%) and the lowest cast sentiment — his words are "lied," "friend," "feels," "emotional," and his core grievance is that his best friend hooked up with his ex and "the sanctity of this friend group feels broken." Carl plays corroborating witness — every one of his few words is about Jesse, recounting that the same thing happened to Jesse before. Ben rounds out the bloc, describing "the boys literally breaking down in tears." The men of the house aren't litigating the romance — they're mourning the friendship.
