Big Brother 20: What is Haleigh Doing?

Hi y’all!

Well, I seriously thought that I was going to take this weekend off from the blog.  I figured that it wouldn’t matter since this is a holiday weekend and we already know that Kaycee isn’t going to use the veto and that Scottie’s the target.  I figured it would be safe to not post this Sunday.

However, I just checked in with the house and I saw something that I simply have to report.  It probably won’t change the outcome of the vote on Thursday but Haleigh is campaigning hard.  In fact, she might be campaigning a little bit too hard.  She seems to be totally paranoid that she’s going to be blindsided this week and sent to the jury (where, of course, she’d be reunited with Faysal).  Remember what happened when Rachel got paranoid that she was going to be blindsided?  She got so desperate and annoying that everyone decided to go ahead and vote her out.

Ever since Faysal was voted out, Haleigh’s been telling everyone that she never had any idea what Faysal was going to do before he did it and that he and she never really discussed strategy.  I can understand her logic here.  After the previous three weeks, there’s nothing to be gained from being linked to Faysal or any other member of the Hive.  The only problem is that Haleigh isn’t as convincing as she thinks she is.  She’s repeated this story so many times that it’s just reminding people that she can’t be trusted.  (Fortunately, for her, no one trusts Scottie either.)

When I got home tonight and turned on the feeds, the first thing I saw was Haleigh in Tyler’s HoH room.  Haleigh was, not surprisingly, saying that she was freaking out and asking Tyler to assure her that she wasn’t the target.  She also told him that Scottie is bitter and can’t be trusted and is plotting on targeting Tyler and Angela.  In Haleigh’s telling, Scottie is basically the most dangerous person to ever enter the Big Brother House.

Then suddenly, Haleigh blurted out that, after Angela won HoH, Haleigh spotted Tyler, Angela, Kaycee, and Brett celebrating together.  Haleigh went on to say that it made it look as if they had a four-member alliance.  Tyler just played dumb but, being the type of player that Tyler is, I imagine that there are alarm bells going off in his head.  What if Haleigh were to go to Sam and JC and tell them that Tyler in in a final four deal with Kaycee, Angela, and Brett?

In short, I don’t know what Haleigh’s thinking.  Right now, she should be trying to lay low and let Scottie dig his own grave.  Instead, she’s running upstairs and giving Tyler an excuse to target her!

Now, to be clear, I don’t think Tyler’s necessarily going to change his mind.  I imagine that Scottie will remain the target but still, if something does happen and Haleigh’s voted out on Thursday, it’ll be because of what she said tonight.

We’ll see what happens!
