Huge Brother 24‘s Daniel won’t know the precise title of the Leftovers alliance, however he has appropriately recognized all seven houseguests which might be in it. And but, that info has barely helped him as he’s tried to wrangle sufficient votes to remain this week — a technique that, bafflingly, concerned speaking about The Leftovers on to considered one of its members, Joseph. OK, then!
Let’s break down the occasions of Thursday’s eviction episode:
THE STRATEGY | Following the veto assembly, Daniel is assured — as he ought to be, admittedly — that he’s sussed out the seven members of the home’s foremost alliance, which he now believes consists of Kyle. To that finish, with the intention to safe the 5 votes he must survive eviction night time, Daniel’s foremost method is to plant seeds of doubt in Alyssa’s thoughts about her relationship with Kyle, which he efficiently does by revealing that Kyle wasn’t essentially going to make use of final week’s Energy of Veto to take away Alyssa from the block.
Similar to that, Alyssa is rattled — and Kyle has grow to be cautious of Alyssa, too, after she joined Terrance and Jasmine’s “sloppy” plan to maintain Monte nominated earlier this week. All advised, Kyle suggests to Alyssa that they get a bit of distance for the remainder of the week, and Alyssa admits within the Diary Room that she’s “exhausted” by their rollercoaster of a relationship. Woman, identical.
In the meantime, regardless of suspecting that Joseph is part of the key alliance, Daniel nonetheless makes an attempt to get his vote by reiterating how large of a risk Michael is, whereas Terrance and Jasmine astutely notice how a lot time Taylor, Monte, Michael and Brittany all spend collectively. Joseph is understandably stunned that every one of this intel is being spilled proper in entrance of him — don’t these individuals notice that Joseph’s aligned with Michael and the remaining? — however he’s inspired by the small quantity of belief that Daniel appears to have in him, and he even considers throwing Daniel a vote to maintain himself in good standing with the non-Leftovers.
THE EVICTION | However Daniel’s commendable efforts to avoid wasting himself don’t matter a lot ultimately: He’s evicted in an 8-1 vote, with Terrance serving as his solely assist. Forward of the vote, Daniel stands up and offers a provocative speech urging his fellow houseguests to evict him, including that they’re all “bozos” and the season will probably be boring as soon as he leaves. I’m certain Will Kirby appreciates the homage right here, however there can solely be one “I hate you all” speech, and Daniel’s isn’t it.
And Daniel’s housemates don’t appear notably unhappy to observe him go. In truth, in his post-game interview, he’s on the receiving finish of a number of the most savage goodbye messages in latest reminiscence, which he says he appreciates, however… ouch. It’s by no means enjoyable to be the middle of an “fool sandwich.”
THE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD COMPETITION | This week’s Head of Family competitors is The Wall, a Huge Brother staple wherein gamers should cling to a flat, continually tilting backdrop till solely considered one of them is left standing. By the point credit roll on the episode, Jasmine has fallen from her submit, and Brittany seems mighty shaky.
Plus, Julie Chen Moonves lets the houseguests know that the Festie Besties twist is formally over, and so they’ll all resume enjoying as people from right here on out. They’ve additionally made it to jury! However! Unbeknownst to the houseguests, one other twist is in retailer for subsequent Thursday, which is able to contain dividing the home into two fully separate — however concurrently performed — video games of Huge Brother for the whole week, culminating in a double eviction on Aug. 25.
OK, your flip! Have been you happy to see Daniel get the boot? And who do you need to see as the following Head of Family? Inform us beneath!
