In tonight’s Big Brother episode, the live feeds were heating up. The houseguests were actually quite worse than was what shown on the main episodes. This is why you have to show everything. There was a point in which Angela and Dee were just talking smack about most people in the house. The littlest thing seemed to annoy them. Angela had previously broken the bathtub in the HOH room.
Yet, Dee didn’t get upset at her because the Big Brother household was still much better than surviving on that other show. They had food. They had showers. There was no more going into the ocean to clean yourself or relieving yourself in the forest. Dee was in the best position to compete. And had nothing to fear by agreeing with Angela that Haley annoys the living daylights out of them.
They couldn’t stand her even as they kept her close to help win competitions. No one was bloodless when it came to gossip. It got Jason in trouble. It had people believing Rome was an ally to the minorities in the house.
Drew also didn’t walk away cleanly because he seemed to take issue with Lala constantly wearing bathing suits around the house. The mama bear looked good for pushing sixty. Let her have this. The gossip aside, there was still an Eviction Ceremony tonight. Taylor, Yash, and now Ashley were up for eviction.
They had to compete for one last chance of immunity in the BB Blockbuster. Dee was hoping that Yash would lose. She wants to evict him. Yash has made it clear that he was upset by his nomination and that he’d come back to haunt Dee if he stayed. There was just one issue with evicting him – the other guys.
There’s more women than men in the house. It was a nine to seven divide. It would be easy to ensure a woman to win if they got rid of another guy. Or at least that’s how Yash was selling it.
Yash was fighting for his life. Some saw him as a muscle shied while others just vibe with him. He was winning a tug of war from before the competition itself. There was the Red Corners Alliance, the Crossovers Alliance, and now Mama’s Angels. The last group had Rome, Lala, and Jason. Rome was trying to win over the votes to oust Ashley.
Taylor was their girl. Yash was Rome’s guy. Ashley was the easiest to evict in their eyes because no one has truly gotten close to her. Rome could also bring along Lyric, Melody, and Mallory.
Angela saw where things were going. She warned Kamu about Rome building an alliance. It convinced Kamu enough to turn against Yash and save Ashley. Not that Ashley could keep those other alliances on her side. Haley made the mistake of naming names to her. Ashley then went running around to tell everyone about it because she thought that was a smart game play. It wasn’t.
Melody told Drew and Barrett about what Ashley said. It made the majority realize that Ashley’s loose lips will definitely sink their ships. Haley should never have named names to her. Nor should Ashley tell people that weren’t named that she has all the power in the vote.
Dee didn’t want to go risking showing their hands before they were ready to show them. Yes, there was a divide in the house. It just didn’t sit right with them that show their hands so early. They were considering ditching her when the BB Blockbuster happened. The nominees had to play a game of memorization.
Ashley and Taylor got it wrong. Yash got it right. Yash ended up winning the power of Immunity. He was safe and so Rome alliance wanted to oust Ashley. Dee’s alliance had to decide if they were going to let Rome get half of the house.
It was a decision that had to be made in minutes because it was such a short between Yash winning and the vote itself. It was Ashley vs Taylor. Ashley was still feeling a little arrogant. Taylor had a reason to be just as well and she didn’t take it for granted. Ashley’s whole energy read as “I know I’m safe”.
Funnily enough, she wasn’t actually safe. The vote came down and the first person evicted from the house was Ashley. Ashley really did blow up her own game. The vote was unanimous. She really didn’t have anyone in her corner in the end and that goes for Haley too.
Although Haley shouldn’t bother getting comfortable either because her time was running out now as well with her own alliance.
America’s Vote was also connected directly to the BB Time Capsule and that could either be a win or a punishment for the next week.
THE END!
