Nicole Franzel is the new Head of Household on Big Brother 22: All-Stars, following Tyler Crispen’s eviction. For the first time ever this season, the nomination block featured two Committee alliance members. This dominant alliance absolutely imploded during the Triple Eviction, and the players are still dealing with the consequences of the decisions that they made that night. Nonetheless, yet another Head of Household comp was played after the Triple Eviction episode, and Cody won his third HOH reign of the season. In response to them trying to flip the vote on Nicole Franzel, Cody put up Christmas Abbott and Tyler Crispen on the block.
All in all, Christmas and Tyler had pretty weird campaigning styles to fight for their safety on Big Brother 22. For all intents and purposes, Tyler was going to be kept this week. But when Tyler decided to rat out the Committee alliance to Enzo – which, by the way, Enzo already knew since the beginning of the season -, Cody and Nicole turned their attention to target Tyler. Then, the live feed viewers saw a very quiet Tyler who seemed resistant to even waste his breath campaigning. In turn, Christmas took the approach of being in every room at all times. She cried to Cody, befriended Nicole, bonded with Memphis – doing anything and everything to feel like they’d keep her, even if they didn’t really want to.
Now, Nicole Franzel is the 12th HOH on Big Brother: All-Stars. She struggled with winning a competition all season long, many times trying her hardest to win a Head of Household or a Power of Veto – always without success. It was strange for the fans at home given that she did fairly well on the competitions during BB16 and BB18, but her time finally came to win something on All-Stars. Considering that Memphis put her on the block during the Triple Eviction and that Christmas was part of the plan trying to flip the vote to evict her, there’s no doubt that Nicole will nominate Memphis and Christmas for eviction this week. In the end, her actual target could be either one of them. The house might want to take a shot at evicting Memphis for being so good at competitions, but there’s also a chance that they’ll choose to evict Christmas first.
Because the Big Brother 22 game is so tight at this point, winning the Power of Veto this week is extremely important. If either Memphis or Christmas wins the veto, it’s safe to say that Nicole will put up Enzo as a replacement nominee, but only as a pawn. All things considered, Nicole will definitely preserve her Final 2 with Cody. If the nominees stay the same, then the only two votes left will be Cody and Enzo, which means that they can choose to evict whoever they want.
We’re closer than ever to the BB22 finale, and one wrong move could send a frontrunner straight to the jury house. This week could certainly set the tone for the rest of the season.
Big Brother 22: All-Stars airs Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays at 8pm EST on CBS.
