Warning! Spoilers for the Sunday, July 18 episode of Big Brother 23 below!
Live-feed viewers caught Brandon "Frenchie" French claiming that Big Brother 23 would be ruined if he were to get evicted. During night one inside the house, Frenchie won all three competitions that were thrown his way. Not only did he earn the title of team captain, but he was also crowned the first Head of Household of the summer.
While typically winning the first Head of Household competition can be beneficial for a player's game, Big Brother contestant Frenchie's chaotic power trip ultimately caused him to get a ton of blood on his hands. Over the course of just one week, Frenchie's target changed numerous times. Not only that, but he promised nearly half of the house safety and then went back on some of his promises. Despite it all, at the end of eviction night, Frenchie felt he had succeeded in getting his target out of the house; however, fans felt differently. Following Frenchie's messy first HOH run, Kyland Young took over the power for week two.
Although viewers of the show were not impressed by Frenchie's HOH reign, he claims the show would be ruined without him. Twitter account @JokersBBUpdates recapped Frenchie's conversation from Friday night. After Kyland won HOH during Thursday's live show, he nominated Frenchie alongside Britini D'Angelo, leaving Frenchie outraged. Now with his Big Brother life on the line, Frenchie feels this season of the show would be ruined should he get evicted this week. The tweet read, "Frenchie expects to find an envelope in the DR. He says BB knows that the show will be ruined if he leaves."
In past seasons of the show, production would leave an envelope in the diary room for certain players should they receive some type of game-changing twist. This is what Frenchie is expecting to happen to him. He later suggested that production was most likely "scrambling in the back to get America's vote going." It is perceived that Frenchie truly believes production will find a way to save him this week for the sake of the show. In Frenchie's eyes, America loves him because he "gave America what they wanted." Despite Travis Long ultimately calling Big Brother contestant Frenchie a liar after being evicted, Frenchie believes he has kept all of the promises he has made so far.
What Frenchie fails to acknowledge is that the only reason he managed to keep his promises is because of pure luck. Had the veto not been used last week, either Alyssa Lopez or Kyland Young would have gone home after Frenchie assured nearly everyone he would not allow a woman or a person of color to be sent home in the first week. Frenchie better gun for the Power of Veto this week or he may be the next person to walk out of the Big Brother house.
Big Brother 23 airs Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8pm on CBS.
