Big Brother 23 — Tonight’s Eviction (Spoilers)

Has there ever been a player as clueless as Brent?

There are a lot of reasons why it’s rare that Big Brother ever features a true blindside. First off, the more recent houseguests have rarely been clever enough to pull off a true blindside. That was something that folks like Dr. Will and the members of the Brigade could pull off but lately, Big Brother has almost been designed to prevent blindsides. With the House almost always voting however the HoH tells them to vote, it’s hard to keep secrets. Add to that, it has lately become a tradition for the House to inform their target about the vote right before the eviction show begins. People want to be nice, especially since there’s always a chance that an evicted houseguest could return.

Brent, however, truly had no idea that he was going to be voted out. He may have told Julie that he wasn’t surprised but everything from his tone of voice to his body language suggested that he was shocked to be evicted by a vote of 11-0. That no one told Brent, even after he lost the veto, is just more evidence of how much the House, as a whole, disliked him.

So, Brent is now gone and it’s a whole new game. Originally, the Cookout’s plan was to target the Kings this week by nominating either Christian, Alyssa, or Sarah Beth. Derek F. especially wants a woman to leave and he can’t stand Sarah Beth, for whatever reason. However, the Kings won the HoH comp and, as their team leader, Christian became Head of Household.

That means that Christian, Alyssa, Xavier, and Sarah Beth are all safe this week. It also means that there’s a good chance that Hannah will go up on the block. The only question is whether Derek X or a woman will go up beside her. Alyssa and Christian have been talking about how they want to split up the potential alliance between Derek X and Hannah.

Of course, it all depends on what happens with the Wildcard tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the final wild card comp and Julie teased us with the promise that the winner would get safety but would also have a big decision to make. So, we’ll see what happens with that! For now, though, Christian is HoH and the Kings are safe for the week!
