Earlier this week on Big Brother 23, Tiffany Mitchell accidentally revealed to Hannah Chaddha that there is an alliance called The Royal Flush, and this slip up may hurt her chances in the game. While Tiffany did not catch her slip up when it happened, this simple mistake could ultimately negatively impact her game in the long run. The mistake took place during last Sunday night's episode after Derek Xiao was crowned the new Head of Household.
Prior to the teams' twist coming to an end, the Kings Team teamed up with the Queens Team to form a Big Brother alliance. However, they pulled in Derek, who was a member of the Aces Team, to be a part of the group. Following his first HOH win, Derek and Hannah were talking in the bathroom, and Tiffany soon joined them. The group of three was discussing different possibilities for nominations for the week. During the conversation, Tiffany casually mentioned The Royal Flush alliance to Derek, without even remembering that Hannah was sitting with them and did not know about it.
Hannah later confronted Tiffany and Derek in an effort to learn more about The Royal Flush alliance, and this mistake could still come back to haunt Tiffany in the long run. Right now, Tiffany is playing a very strong game. She not only has a good social game, but she is also in the Royal Flush alliance and The Cookout alliance. Recently, Tiffany devised a master plan that (if it works) will keep her safe and keep the entire Cookout alliance safe until the final six. This may ultimately crash and burn if Hannah feels the need to expose Tiffany's game.
Hannah already mentioned that she will be keeping this piece of information in her back pocket in case she needs to use it to her advantage in the future. She could ultimately destroy Tiffany's game by revealing this to other houseguests. Because Tiffany is in two separate alliances, her opposing allies may be offended that she is working with another team of houseguests. This will cause all of the members of her alliances to question her loyalty to their respective alliances. There may be uncertainty about which alliance she is truly loyal to. Prior to this admission, fans believed that Tiffany could take home the Big Brother win this summer.
The mistake may leave Tiffany having to deal with a lot of damage control, which, in the long run, may not be entirely fixable. Even if Tiffany did in fact make it to the final two, this exposure of her gameplay could leave her with numerous bitter jury members, who may not vote in her favor due to her past betrayal. Luckily for Tiffany, she and Hannah have been working closely together. As long as she does not lose Hannah's trust, this error may not hurt her gameplay.
Big Brother 23 airs Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8pm EST on CBS.
