In tonight’s Big Brother episode, there were repercussions with the HOH competition tonight. For one, the three competitors were given help from the other contestants and whoever lost the competition would be deemed as Have Nots in the house.
Have Nots could mean anything. Especially in this game where anything goes so the three competitors really needed a win. They all suffered setbacks. The others were holding the platform up for them to complete the fire puzzle. Those human hands ended up making some very human errors.
The one person that seemed constantly in the win was Dee. Dee wasn’t afraid to go after the first HOH. Angela almost had it when the puzzle fell and she had to start over. Devins wasn’t as far ahead when his puzzle fell. Which set those two all the way back. Dee remained ahead. She completed the puzzle. She was now officially the new Head Of House.
She has to nominate at least three people for elimination. She also has to figure out who she could trust in this game. It was a social game where they were all willing to betray the other.
The Have Nots were given a special room back at the house. It was essentially a torture chamber. There was no bed. There was an old timey tortured device that spins all night long and there’s weren’t even pillows. There were just sacks to sleep on. Devins was fine with it because he slept in worst places before. The others weren’t happy.
In fact, Taylor might have accidentally caused his puzzle to fall because she was still feuding with him without Devins realizing. And so there’s no telling what really happened when his puzzle fell.
Taylor kept on complaining about Devins in her confessional. Meanwhile Angela was already trying to build an alliance. She reached out to Dee. She’s been in her position as the first HOH and those are the toughest.
They didn’t really know the people in the house. They made introductions with everyone. They heard their ages as well as their fake jobs because no one wanted to come clean about what they actually do. Angela won Dee’s trust. She also acted as a mama bear for Jason. Jason was fearless as a drag queen. Not so much as Jason.
There was another alliance forming with Kamu, Chuk, and Haley. They were all pretty grounded. There was also some interests because Kamu was exactly Haley’s type and so this could be like the threesome from last season that pushed Vinny to the final three. It might also have cost Vinny’s relationship with his girlfriend after he lost that season.
It’s one thing to have a crush, but they really didn’t need anyone making decisions purely based on said crush. Or someone nominating themselves as the leader of the group.
Kamu was doing most of the talking even as they tried to rope in Dee for their alliance. Kamu was the one who first reached out to Chuk. Chuk brought in Haley or so he thought. Kamu later took credit for it when they got Dee to join. Dee wanted to bring someone else in. She wanted to include Devins.
The others didn’t know it only those two Survivor alumni had set out a goal. They were forming an alliance of them two. Dee was going to reach out to the strongest competitors because that is where her own strength aligns.
Devins was going to reach out to the misfits. Technically, Angela was one because she cracks under pressure and the other legends knew it too. There was also a romance going on inside of the house. Lyric and Rome were exactly each other’s types. She loved how much of a gentlemen he is. She was his type down to a tee.
It wasn’t long before those two were making out and sharing a bed. It was super uncomfortable for everyone else in the room. It was also Day 2. The relationship was moving pretty fast if they’re sharing a bed on Day 2.
Devins was busy getting his alliance together. He put together Drew, Barrett, and Angela. Dee played the middle group between the two groups when truthfully her sole alliance was with Devins. They competed against each other once before with no bad blood. The legends wanted to stick together. Devins even told Angela about the Red Corner alliance with Kamu, Chuk, and Haley. He earned her trust. He also ticked off Dee. Dee said silence was golden. The more that people know, the easier it will be to use it against them in the end.
Devins also told Drew by the way. Drew was just supposed to be a shield. Dee didn’t want to give him any power of their alliance. The one they made with him and that was still unnamed all the while the other was calling itself the Red Corner. Dee honestly told Devins later on that she will kill him if this blows up in their faces. Dee went on to discuss game with Mallory. Mallory wasn’t really aligned to anyone in the house. She had a bit of a girl crush on Lyric until she overheard Lyric in bed with Rome so who knows about that friendship.
Mallory got nowhere with Dee either. She kept trying to bring up game plan that Dee just refused to engage with. Mainly because Dee knew she was going to nominate her for eviction. She was also going to nominate Taylor. She couldn’t pick all girls nor could she go all guys. She needed a guy to be nominated in third place and so she reached a decision that protected both of her alliances. She nominated Taylor, Mallory, and Yash. She said she nominated from each team in the HOH competition to keep things fair because she came into the game late.
It didn’t stop the nominees from being tearful and super upset with her.
THE END!
