This article contains spoilers from Big Brother 24.
After the Big Brother season 24 double eviction, the live episode ended without the remaining houseguests playing in the Head of Household (HOH) competition, but the live feeds revealed that Matt "Turner" Turner is the HOH for the second time this season. Turner turned the house upside down and became a fan-favorite when he was HOH during week 3, saving Taylor Hale from eviction and working with her, Joseph Abdin, Michael Bruner, Kyle Capener, Brittany Hoopes and Monte Taylor to form The Leftovers. This seven-person alliance has dominated the game ever since.
During the Big Brother 24 Split House twist this past week, Turner was a member of the outdoor group, Dyre Fest. The HOH Terrance Higgins nominated him for eviction but then saved him with the Power of Veto. In order to save himself, Kyle told his showmance Alyssa Snider and Terrance everything about The Leftovers. Because of this, Turner was unsure of where he would stand when the Big Brochella Leftovers members, who were playing the game inside of the house, found out about what had happened at Dyre Fest. Therefore, while Joseph was in the Diary Room, Turner, Kyle, Alyssa and Terrance created a new alliance called the After Party, and they evicted Joseph from the game.
Now the live feeds revealed that Turner is the new Big Brother HOH, so he will have to choose between The Leftovers and the After Party. Since Terrance and Michael Bruner were the HOHs of Dyre Fest and Big Brochella, they were ineligible to play. The competition seems to have been a version of the Tiny Veto competition from previous Big Brother seasons, during which the houseguests have to use tweezers to stack very small objects. Torn between his two alliances, Turner promised safety to every houseguest after he won HOH. He told Kyle that he is unsure of what to do because Alyssa and Terrance are not strong players, and they would be carrying them through the game.
However, Kyle told him that Michael and Brittany would pick Taylor over them. Turner then told Brittany that there was no world in which he would target a Big Brother Leftover and that she and Michael would be fine. However, Turner told Monte that he told Brittany he bonded with the Dyre Fest people, so he would hate to take a shot at one of them, only to have the Big Brochella contestants turn on him in the end. Now Monte and Kyle seem to have convinced Turner that he should nominate Michael, Brittany or Taylor for eviction. Monte suggested not nominating Michael so that there is a chance he cannot play for the veto because Michael has already won four vetoes this season. Kyle said that they would regret it if they did not backdoor Michael this week. Turner said that he felt bad turning on Michael and Brittany because they were part of the reason that they got so far in the game. However, Kyle said they did it to get themselves far, and Turner and the rest of the Big Brother Leftovers do not owe them anything.
Turner is a strong player who plays his own game, so if he decides that targeting Michael this week is not the best move, then he will not do it. The Big Brother 24 Split House twist brought an early end to The Leftovers, as they have already lost Joseph, so Turner might decide that sticking with the After Party is the better choice. However, The Leftovers have stronger players, which Turner might take into consideration since he cannot play for HOH next week. The only way to know for sure what Turner is really thinking is to watch his Diary Room sessions during Sunday night's episode. Whatever he decides, Turner is a strong player who will make the right decision for his own game.
Big Brother airs Sundays and Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT and Thursdays at 9 p.m. EDT on CBS.
