On tonight’s Big Brother episode, the house recently evicted Lisa. Everyone lied to her. They all said the real target was Angela and then only one person votes for Angela. Angela may be crazy, but no one saw her as a threat. They all knew she wasn’t making it into the top five much less the final two.

She was that unstable of a player. She was also so desperate for allies that people knew they could use her to blindside others. Lisa wasn’t that bad of a person and she still got sent home because she was too much. She got in a shouting match with Angela in which she reaffirmed to herself that she was a goddess. And that no one could take away her power.

Well, they took away her power. They evicted Lisa. They were now stuck with Angela. They also had to go the whole crazy cycle of eviction once again. They first had to get a new HOH. Chelsie couldn’t compete because she was Head of House last time. She therefore had to play game show host for the selection of the new HOH.

Chelsie considered herself safe in spite of this because she has allies. She has countable allies. They worked together to blindside Lisa. She thought they’d still work together to go after the new target.

With Lisa gone, it came back down to Angela or Kenney. Both of them were on the outskirts. Kenney didn’t know about the blindside and he was the one person to vote for Angela. He admitted that by the way to Angela. Angela didn’t take it personally. She just thought that meant Kenney wasn’t connecting with the rest of the house.

She failed to see that they got rid of Lisa first because she was a stronger player than Angela. She had a strong social game. Things were different now that Lisa was gone because now they could go after Angela.

The only way they wouldn’t target her was if she won HOH. Angela went into the HOH competition like everyone else. They were all having to hit buzzers to gain score and they had to do it while balancing on a raised footpath. Quinn wanted to win HOH because he wanted to get rid of Angela. Angela was the only one that knew about his secret power.

He figured that by getting rid of her – he gets to maintain that power for a little longer. Quinn didn’t tell any of his allies about his power. They would probably see it as a betrayal if they found out about it. Hence the secret agenda.

Angela tried to tell Tucker about it. He didn’t believe her because he was that set of evicting Lisa. Lisa’s eviction was personal for Tucker. He hated her since she interrupted his introduction to tell the house she was also a chef. That plus the edible glitter rubbed him the wrong way. Even if Lisa sneezed, he thought it was fake. Lisa never realized how much Tucker hated her. Angela also didn’t realize that Tucker hugging her meant nothing. He would still turn on her in an instant. Angela lost out on HOH this week.

The new HOH was in fact Cedric. He was in the Pentagon alliance with Cam, Chelsie, Brooklyn, and Quinn. He was also in an unspoken alliance with Cam, Chelsie, and T’Kor.

Everyone in both alliances knew they were safe. Kenney and Angela were rightfully worried. Kenney reached out to Cedric after the HOH competition. He opened up about his background.

He confessed to missing his family. It made Cedric realize Kenney is perfect for putting on the chopping block. Angela would be the second nominee. The hard part was finding a third nominee.

Things were so much easier when the HOH just had to nominate two people. There were always two people that everyone wanted to see go. It was the third person angle that tripped everyone up.

Makensy wanted to make sure it wasn’t her because she talked to Cedric as well. She told him she has a secret power that could take her off the block. Cedric was then going to consider someone else when he spoke to Chelsie. Chelsie told him that his name was in Makensy and Leah’s mouths. They tried to convince Chelsie to nominate him.

She didn’t. She ended up telling Cedric about it. Cedric now realizes they were coming after him. He considered nominating Leah to split up her duo with Makensy. He tried to get Leah to nominate herself as a pawn and she wasn’t having it. Cedric then looked into other people to see if they were willing to be the pawn.

They all told him “no”. Most of them weren’t stupid enough to agree to become a pawn. Tucker was the exception. He did it last week to evict Lisa. His friends didn’t want to risk him going up a second time and so Tucker tried to convince Cedric to nominate Makensy.

Cedric told Tucker about Makensy’s power. Tucker said they should flush it out while they can. He wanted to force Makensy to use the power and that way they can get rid of her the following week.

Cedric however was scared to make an enemy so soon. He wanted to play it safe for now. He later had to nominate three people. He chose to nominate Angela, Kenney, and Tucker. Tucker was supposed to be the pawn. And the real target was supposed to be Angela.

But who knows if that’s the way it will play out.

THE END!
