It all comes down to this! The Reindeer Games finale for Big Brother has arrived and the final four Houseguests are set to face off for the chance at $100,000. Someone is about to have a really nice Christmas!
There are likely no more “Naughty & Nice” or “Jingle Bell Brawl” competitions left for finale night. Instead I’m expecting three competitions and three eliminations leading up to the winner of the Reindeer Games being crowned.
Join us here for our live recap starting at 8PM ET as we find out who will win Big Brother’s Reindeer Games!
We started out with nine players and watched as Cameron, Cody, Danielle, Josh, and then Britney were each eliminated. That leaves us with Frankie, Nicole, Taylor, and Xavier to go.
Well wait, we do get a “Naughty & Nice” challenge and power awarded to its winner. HGs have to study the artwork in the house and figure out which piece of art was swapped out overnight. Hah! This is what we hear every year that HGs study the decor to count and see what’s in there.
Naughty & Nice Challenge:
Winner: Xavier
Xavier was the fastest to figure out which piece of art was switched out! It was the “Mona Blizten” artwork. Tiffany reveals his power is to set the tournament brackets himself and the “Naughty” punishment is to delay his opponent by 30 seconds.
Tournament Brackets:
Xavier versus Nicole
Taylor versus Frankie
Reindeer Games – Round 1:
Xavier and Nicole have to assemble a series of gears to make their nutcracker operate first. Xavier gets his 30 second head start over Nicole, but is it enough??
No! Nicole catches up, sets her gears, and crushes that walnut first. Xavier has been sent out of the competition. Nicole will move on to face either Taylor or Frankie.
Round 1 eliminated: Xavier
Reindeer Games – Round 2:
Frankie and Taylor have to target very specific elves out of their gallery of targets. If they hit one of the “good” elves then they have to start over completely. This one is more complicated than the gears challenge in the first round.
Ohh this was close! Frankie needed just one more target down but hit a “good” elf forcing him to reset completely. Taylor stepped up and got it right, knocking Frankie out of the tournament!
Round 2 eliminated: Frankie
Reindeer Games – Final Round:
Nicole and Taylor are about to face off in one last competition of the season (and the year, finally!). All of the eliminated HGs have returned to watch this final battle. Nicole and Taylor have to bring Santa three pieces to fuel his sleigh.
Part 1: Stack pieces of a tree and then climb it to return the mistletoe. The challenge here is the pieces are very wobble and hard to keep balanced. Taylor gets hers first!
Part 2: Spin a moving puzzle to free the magic antlers. Taylor continues her lead and retrieves the antlers first. She’s on to the next round as Nicole continues to struggle.
Part 3: Assemble snowflakes to make a bigger snowflake. Taylor had a big lead but that gets washed out as Nicole catches up. Both are having a really hard time on this part. It’s neck and neck!
Winner of the Reindeer Games: Nicole Franzel!
