Big Brother 20: Today’s Nominatons

Okay y’all, this season is just getting too weird.

Seriously, I don’t even know how to explain what is happening in the House right now.  It makes absolutely zero sense.  The closest example that I can think happened during Big Brother 6, when the Nerd Herd tricked Rachel into nominating James and Sarah for eviction, despite the fact that all three of them were members of the same alliance.  This is just weird.

What’s been the reoccurring theme this season?  Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?

Well, Faysal has managed to do it again!

Notice that I said Faysal and not the Hive.  That’s because the only other two members of the Hive — Haleigh and Scottie — told him not to do this.  Even a few members of the Level 6 said that Faysal would have to be an idiot to do what he did.  But he did it anyway and this is all on him.

Faysal made his nominations today.  Seeing as how the entire house is trying to get him, Haleigh, and Scottie out, he had a lot of good candidates to choose from.  Remember how Haleigh — who is now officially Faysal’s girlfriend — spent two weeks trying to backdoor Tyler?  Remember how Faysal said that, if he won HoH, he would target Tyler?

Well, that’s not happening.  Soon after winning HoH, Faysal said that he wouldn’t target Tyler because apparently Faysal made some promise not to go after him.  I haven’t seen any evidence of this promise on the live feeds but maybe the Sunday show will clarify things.

Anyway, JC got to Faysal last night and spent a lot of time talking about how Scottie was a threat to him and couldn’t be trusted and how Scottie has said that he likes Haleigh and he wants to get Faysal out of the game.  So, Faysal got it into his head that he should nominate Scottie and Brett for eviction.

Haleigh tried to tell him that it was a mistake to nominate Scottie but then she got distracted by a bottle of wine and that was pretty much it for Haleigh.  Even JC later told Faysal that nominating Scottie would be a mistake.  (JC’s idea was to backdoor Scottie.)  Eventually, after spending the entire day doing nothing, Scottie finally went up to the HoH room and made a convincing case for why Faysal should nominate Tyler for eviction.

So, of course, Faysal nominated Brett and Scottie for eviction.

SERIOUSLY, WHAT IS HE THINKING!?

(Personally, I think it has to do less with game and more with insecurity.  Scottie has said that he likes Haleigh.  Brett and Haleigh have a flirtatious friendship.  Faysal just nominated the two people who see as being threats to his showmance with Haleigh.)

So, right now, Faysal is feeling pretty proud of himself.  To his credit, Scottie is taking all of this calmly.  He even talked to Faysal afterwards.  Faysal told Scottie to win the veto if he wants to stay.  As for Brett, he knows that he’s got the votes to stay over Scottie so he’s feeling pretty confident as well.

Speaking of Brett, Sam today asked Brett if he was in love with her and Brett told her that he’s not but that he likes her as a friend.  Sam says that Rockstar made her feel as if Brett had fallen for her and apparently, Sam was thinking about marrying him after the show.  Now, Sam says that she’s happy with Brett as her Plan B.  (Her Plan A remains Tyler.)

Seriously, this is the strangest season.
