What today's X topics reveal
Thursday Night Football and a Big Brother double eviction replaced Wednesday's mix of esports spoilers, DWTS, and wrestling. Nine of 10 strings point at either Highmark Stadium or CBS's house. The X Twitter trending API no longer shows #dwts after that show's two-night premiere ended Wednesday.
Allen's 5-score night is the one-day spike. #bb28 is a weekly fixture that only surfaces when an eviction airs. #Tonebird is the leftover that does not fit either cluster.
