As Big Brother 22: All-Stars gets closer to the jury phase, the house is starting to split and set up the inevitable showdown of Cody Calafiore versus Tyler Crispen. The first four weeks on BB22 have been a slow drag toward the inevitable. The first two nomination blocks were purposely between houseguests that did not make a huge difference to the game at that point. Ultimately, it didn't matter to the season's dominant alliances if Keesha Smith or Kevin Campbell went home. A similar dynamic was also set up on the following week when David Alexander and Nicole Anthony were put up on the block.
During the next two weeks on Big Brother 22, the players had two clear targets: Janelle Pierzina and Kaysar Ridha. When Tyler won HOH, he nominated Janelle and Kaysar for eviction and let others decide which houseguest the house felt more threatened by. After Janelle's elimination, Kaysar's only shot at staying was by winning HOH. When Enzo won it, Kaysar's fate was sealed. Now, the season will have only one more eviction to go before the jury phase begins... and a certain showdown between two Big Brother giants is being set up in the house.
For four weeks, Cody and Tyler shared two alliances on Big Brother: All-Stars: the Committee and the Slick Six. At first, it looked like Cody and Tyler were going to help each other get as far as possible in the game... even if it seemed unlikely that they'd ever be each other's Final 2. However, recent events have made some damage to their relationship. For one, Ian noticed that Tyler was very thrown off by the fan who yelled "Nicole and Cody are playing everyone" over the wall. On the flip side, Cody is trying to protect his bond with Enzo as he sees that Tyler is trying to reel in the Meow Meow to his side. Many live feed viewers are starting to notice Tyler's slow detachment from Cody, as well as Cody's irritability toward Tyler. A showdown between the two now seems inevitable during the jury phase, which would split the house in half.
The two exact sides that the Cody vs. Tyler showdown will create on BB22 are still uncertain. Dani and Nicole would likely side with Cody, but Daniele's place in that alliance depends on how soon she will find out about the house's plan to backdoor her. Bayleigh and Da'Vonne would likely side with Tyler, but he doesn't seem that interested in working with Da' thus far. Enzo has been closer to Cody than he's been to Tyler, but there's been a shift as of late. While it would make sense for Ian and Memphis to side with Cody and Nicole and for David and Christmas to side with Tyler and Bayleigh, these four players are wildcards who could swing the other way. And then there's Kevin, who could become the ultimate swing vote in a split house.
Given how predictable Big Brother: All-Stars has been so far, the creation of a division that would split the game's dominant alliance in half would certainly be an exciting twist. In any case, the players on BB22 will absolutely draw a line in the sand in the next few weeks. Now, the fans just have to wait and see for these houseguests to pick a side.
Big Brother 22: All-Stars airs Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays at 8pm EST on CBS.
