Big Brother 14, Day 24 Reactions

Last night in the Big Brother House, Shane won the power of veto competition.  He was also the Head of Household, so he was the one who nominated the people on the block, Joe and Ashley.  Because he was the one who nominated the possible evictees, he was unlikely to put up another player.

In a game-changing decision, Shane nominated Frank for eviction.

In case you're not familiar with Big Brother this season, here's a brief overview of the characters.


Coach: Britney - Had 3 players, 1 evicted, 1 kicked out for fighting.
Player: Shane - Head of Household.  Has a thing with Danielle.


Coach: Dan - Had 3 players, 2 evicted.
Player: Danielle - Dan's last player.  Has a thing with Shane.

Coach: Mike Boogie - Still has all 3 players.
Player: Frank - Made deal with Shane to stay free from eviction.  Shane just put him up with the Power of Veto.
Player: Jenn - Staying off the grid.
Player: Ian - Engineering student.  Little showmance with Ashley on Janelle's team.

Coach: Janelle - Has 3 players
Player: Will - Will was saved from nomination by Janelle as a result of winning the Coach's competition.
Player: Joe - Nominated for eviction this week.
Player: Ashley - Was nominated for eviction, but Shane saved her with the Power of Veto.

Up to this point, Shane has allied himself with Frank, while becoming involved (and has power with) Danielle.  When Shane became Head of Household, he nominated two of Janelle's players (Joe and Ashley).

Shane wins the Power of Veto competition, and violates his agreement with Frank by replacing Ashley with Frank.  The line is drawn thus: Will and Ashley will vote against Joe (for Frank), Jenn and Ian will vote against Frank (for Joe), and Danielle will vote however Shane wants her to.  Shane can't vote because he's Head of Household.

Shane wants Frank out, so he will influence Danielle to vote for Frank.

Frank is going to leave this week, ladies and gentlemen.  Had Frank and Shane's alliance held, then they could have taken out each of Janelle's players, and it would have been 3 vs. 2, but with Shane breaking that alliance, he decides who the power goes to next... but it can't switch back to him.

Staying with Frank would have ensured his spot in the game until each of Janelle's players were eliminated, because it was 5 against 3, but this decision makes it 2 (Shane and Danielle) vs. 2 (whichever team Danielle votes against) vs. 3 (whichever team is safe from elimination).

Naturally, the team with the numbers has the advantage, so Shane and Danielle just created a situation where they are at risk sooner rather than later.

Good job, Shane, it looks like you've expedited your exit from the game.
