With all of the Willie Hantz drama I didn’t know what to expect going into this episode of Big Brother. His team was definitely getting a lot of attention for supporting him, despite his brutish behavior, but would his exit take any of the heat off them? Nah!
The Wake of Willie
If you thought things changed significantly with Willie Hantz’s eviction, ejection, or whatever you want to call it, you’re right. Getting rid of Willie caused major shockwaves, with the weak coalition he had formed starting some major in-fighting, particularly between JoJo and Frank. JoJo is feeling Willie’s bull’s-eye materializing on her back, and Frank is all too happy to rub it in. For some reason JoJo thinks she shouldn’t be getting heat for standing behind Willie now that he’s gone. JoJo may be super cute, but that kind of thinking betrays a major lack of strategic thinking capacity. If she can’t think macroscopically in the Big Brother house, she is going to wind up somebody’s easy kill before long.
Nominations
Frank nominates Shane and JoJo to no one’s surprise. Yes, it’s all about Willie, and Frank is man enough to say so. In Diary, Frank reveals that Shane is his primary target. After the evictions Britney distresses a bit about her position. Shades of season 12 and the Brigade come to mind here. The shadow of Willie is going to hang over her people until they are exterminated, and she knows it. Britney’s Big Brother experience, though, might yet lead to an aha moment. Frank getting rid of Shane first means he eyes JoJo as an easy kill later on, so maybe things will level out and Britney can pull a game changer out of her hat.
Power of Veto
Mexican themed game of concentration. Wow. Shane wins. More wow. So Shane, the verified target of elimination, is safe and now JoJo looks to be in grave danger. Totally amazing. It’s always nice when the underdog wins Veto power on Big Brother.
Shane, smelling the hounds on his trail, goes to Frank and Boogie to negotiate. They convince him he wasn’t the primary target–LIES!–and Shane foolishly starts laying his strategies on them. At least someone is playing the game, but I suppose it is all that more vivid when your neck is stretched across the chopping block. Ultimate, Danielle winds up on the block. Danielle has been an emotional wreck, particularly after realizing Dan was distancing himself from her, but it’s really all for show. We know that JoJo’s attempts to wash Willie off her hands have enhanced her value. She’s so gone.
