Tonight was a busy night on Big Brother 11. With Chima and Jessie gone from the house, the alliance that dominated the house for the last four weeks was decimated. The remaining three players of Natalie, Kevin and Lydia were desperate to stop the bleeding, hopefully by winning The Power of Veto and having either Kevin or Lydia taken off the block. Once they were off the block, the plan was to get Russell on the block and have his teammates back door him.
The problem was getting his alliance to see him as a threat and want him gone. In the television version, of Big Brother, Russell looked like he turned his back on Jeff by making a side deal with Michelle to go to the final two. In actuality, he has made deals with both Jeff and Michelle, but he is not “screwing anyone over” in his alliance at this point.
In the TV version, Kevin approaches Jeff and tells him that he wants to be down with him and shows how honorable he is by telling him that Russell is making all kinds of deals behind his back. This is the lie that is supposed to put the chink in the armor of the alliance. On TV it looks like Jeff has taken the bait.
In real life, Kevin’s plan worked only for a short time. The alliance all got together and figured out that Kevin was lying. Russell came clean about what he said to Michelle, and the issue was squashed. However, they didn’t let on to Kevin that they knew he was lying (hence, his conferencing with them before the veto ceremony, and his not knowing who to vote out when the they took no one off the block).
We are now waiting for the results of the HoH competition. Keep checking back to find out more.
Update: Jeff has won Head of Household.
