Indy Santos was eliminated from the Big Brother 24 house and became the first member of the jury, and she now reveals who she blames for her eviction. Indy's eviction came during Taylor Hale's Head of Household reign, which became a complicated week of twists and turns as Taylor and her alliance, The Leftovers, continuously shifted their target. Taylor is in The Leftovers alliance along with Joseph Abdin, Michael Bruner, Kyle Capener, Brittany Hoopes, Monte Taylor, and Matt "Turner" Turner. She originally decided that she wanted to target Terrance Higgins for the week, and promised that she would not nominate the other three women in the house, Indy, Alyssa Snider, and Jasmine Davis. However, when Taylor began to run through scenarios for nominations, including putting some of her Leftovers alliance members on the chopping block as pawns, they showed her how nominating Indy alongside Terrance was safer for the alliance.
Indy was not happy about being nominated, but Taylor tried to convince her that she was safe for the week. Indy was a member of the Five Swatters alliance, along with Alyssa, Jasmine, and double agents Joseph and Kyle who were actually working with The Leftovers. During the Power of Veto competition, Alyssa was excited to be selected, and she said in her Diary Room session that she would try to win the veto in order to secure her own safety for the week and save Indy. Indy hoped that she would pull either Kyle or Joseph's chip because she figured that one of them could save her if she did not win the veto. She pulled Kyle's chip, and he was on board to save Indy. In the meantime, however, The Leftovers began to realize that Indy posed a much bigger threat to their game than Terrance, and tried to convince Taylor to switch the target to her. The plan worked, and Indy was evicted by a vote of 7-1, because Michael gave her a sympathy vote.
In an interview with EW, Indy blamed Kyle for her eviction from the Big Brother house. She said that even though she had learned about "the huge alliance, I believe I still blame Kyle because he was the one who offered me a different alliance last week while he was on the block. So even if I know there was like, I think, other six people in his alliance, he was the one who had the courage to come to me and offer me a different alliance of opportunity." Indy is referring to the Five Swatters alliance, which was actually not a real alliance for Kyle and Joseph.
Indy added that another reason that she blames Kyle is because he was the one whom she had picked to play in the Big Brother veto for her, but he chose not to use it to save her. This was because during the Rewards and Punishments veto competition, Alyssa stole a trip from Taylor instead of taking the veto from Indy to secure safety for them both. Alyssa gave Taylor a punishment of being chained to another houseguest for 48 hours. In the end, Kyle won the Power of Veto, but he did not use it because Taylor had mentioned that she would nominate his showmance Alyssa as revenge for her stealing the trip.
Indy's Big Brother eviction was actually the result of many different houseguests' plans and opinions for their games. Taylor nominated her, The Leftovers orchestrated her eviction, and her allies Alyssa and Jasmine voted her out. However, Kyle's decision not to use the veto to save her in order to keep Alyssa safe directly affected her chances of staying in the Big Brother house. Indy will have to watch back this complicated week of Big Brother in order to get the full story of her eviction.
