Big Brother 20: Who is Going This Week?

Hi everyone!

So, I hate to admit but I’m having a hard time keeping track of who is planning to vote for who as far as the upcoming eviction is concerned.  At first, Scottie made it pretty clear that Brett was his target and then it seemed like he kind of shifted the target over to Winston and then back over to Brett.  The members of Level 6 were talking about getting rid of Brett at one point and then they switched over to Winston and now, I’m having a hard time keeping up.

As far as the overall game goes, it probably doesn’t matter which one of them gets voted out.  The main reason that they’ve been nominated is to break up the bromance and to take Level 6 down a peg.  Up until this point, Brett and Winston have pretty much been a team.  Getting one out will presumably leave the other one weakened.

If I had to guess, I’d say that Brett is going to get voted out.  Everyone in the house keeps talking about how charming Brett is and how he can talk anyone into anything.  They seem genuinely intimidated by this supposed Brett charm.  Winston, on the other hand, has struggled in challenges and doesn’t have much of a social game.  I get the feeling that Winston is going to be viewed as someone who can be voted out anytime while Brett is the player who you have to get out as soon as you get the chance.  I’m not sure if I totally agree with that logic but, regardless, I imagine this will lead to Brett getting voted out on Thursday.

For the record, Winston is convinced that he’s going to be voted out.  Earlier today, he was telling JC that all of the girls in the house are in love with Brett and will vote to keep him.  Brett, meanwhile, has asked Sam to use her power to save him.  Sam was noncommittal but she later told Angie that she probably wouldn’t use the power on anyone that week.

Everyone in the house knows that Sam has a power.  Some of that is because Sam has told too many people and even more of that is due to Kaitlyn.  Unfortunately, Kaitlyn doesn’t understand how Sam’s power works and has been giving everyone the wrong details.  Kaitlyn is under the impression that Sam can use her power to take people off the block and force the HoH to nominate a replacement.  That’s what Kaitlyn told Scottie so now, of course, Scottie is mad at Sam for not telling him about the power beforehand.

Sam has also explained to a few people that this is her last week to use the power, which has led to them assuming that the power ends after this week.  Actually, it doesn’t.  If Sam doesn’t use the power on Thursday, then whoever is voted out next week will automatically get a chance to reenter the house.  If Sam doesn’t win the next HoH, she better explain how all of this works to whoever does win HoH or week 4 could a very awkward one for her.  In fact, it could be argued that it might be smarter for Sam to go ahead and use her power this week and then hope that the Level 6 alliance wins HoH and keep her safe.  That way, she won’t have anyone accusing her of lying about what the power was.

(Of course, the smartest thing that Sam could have done would have been to tell no one about the power but she just had to tell Tyler.)

Speaking of powers, Angie and Haleigh are convinced that JC received the second one because they thought they heard him talking about it in his sleep.  Of course, JC has received nothing.  Tyler has the 2nd power but he’s done a pretty good job of keeping anyone else from figuring out that he has it.

As for who will be the target next week, just about everyone seems to think that Kaitlyn is the natural pick.  She’s been so erratic and dramatic over this past week that everyone seems to just want her out of the house.  It’s gotten to the point now that the other houseguests are openly mocking Kaitlyn and her dreams.  Earlier today, Faysal told Kaitlyn that he had a dream where Kaitlyn was having an argument with her (ex-)boyfriend, Joe.  Meanwhile, Brett apparently talked about a dream that he had during his eviction speech.  (We’ll see that tomorrow!)

One thing’s for sure — I think the days of the Level 6 and Foutte alliances are coming to a close.  Both Bayleigh and Angela have recently mentioned the possibility of starting an all-girls alliance.  Given the personalities in the house, I doubt an all-girls alliance could last more than a week or two but they’ll still probably give it a try.  They always do!

We’ll see what happens,
