It’s Friday in the Big Brother 25 house, which means the current Head of Household, Jag, has been in meetings with the other six remaining houseguests. After last week’s Power of Veto Ceremony, America declared Matt and Jag her game enemies. They took out Cory, so she wanted revenge. Logically, Jag should target America.
Get her before she gets him. However, America’s lack of competition wins seems to, once again, work in her favor. Jag sees Blue as more of a threat to his game. He thinks by nominating her last week, he burned a bridge of them working together going forward. He also believes that Blue has performed better in competitions than America.
Jag wants to finish what he started last week by taking Blue out of the game. Matt and Bowie knew before anyone else that Jag planned to target Blue this week. However, Cirie suspected it. She played into her suspicions and Jag told her that Blue is his intended target. He also told America that Blue was his target.
Nevertheless, he still needed to nominate America. It would cause suspicion if he didn’t nominate her. America presented him with several scenarios to make Jag rethink nominating her this week or to prevent the odds of Blue winning the Veto. Jag didn’t sway from his plan.
But he did tell America, to ease her doubts and maybe get the benefits of a deal she proposed to him, that he could use the Veto on her. Her deal gave Jag everything he could ever want. If he didn’t nominate her, America offered to not nominate Matt and him as backdoor or initial targets during the upcoming double eviction. If she won the Veto, she would save him and vote to keep Matt. If Matt and Jag remained on the block, she would vote Matt out.
She offered him an almost too-good-to-be-true deal, which it likely is. However, in case America was being truthful about her deal, he offered to throw this week’s Veto competition to her. This would allow her to come off the block and his target Blue would still go to the jury house. He also mentioned maybe saving her with the Veto if he found out that Bowie, Cirie, or Felicia were planning to vote her out.
To America, Jag made it very clear that America was not his target. To Blue, he told her that she was a pawn. America was his target. Jag also confirmed that Felicia would be the replacement nominee if America or Blue came off the block. He wanted Blue to be the target, but America may be a secondary target if Blue does win Veto.
Blue seemed calm about Jag nominating her “as a pawn.” She doesn’t seem to suspect she’s his true target. We’ll have to wait until after the Veto competition to see if Blue remains Jag’s target.
Is Jag making the best move for his game by targeting Blue this week?
