A lot happened last night, and I think Rachel is in trouble.
First off, Tyler's plan was to let Bayleigh think that Scottie was his "best friend", so that if he used the veto Bayleigh would retaliate by nominating Tyler's "best friend". Tyler and Bayleigh talked and while Tyler begun planting seeds against Scottie, Bayleigh was adamant that the veto not be used. I don't think Tyler got what he expected from his conversation with her, and I think he was a little thrown off after Bayleigh told him that she'd renominate Angela if he used the veto.
Later, Rachel goes to talk to Bayleigh. Bayleigh blindsides all of us by telling Rachel that Tyler had told her that he would only use the veto if Angela was the replacement (Tyler did not say this; Bayleigh had). This completely freaked Rachel out, but nobody knew if Rachel was pretending to act shook, or if she was actually shook. Rachel then goes into the have not room alone and whispers to herself that Tyler better not use the veto. She goes on to call him a "fucking snake". Rachel believed Bayleigh.
Rachel tells Angela what Bayleigh told her which gets Angela paranoid. Rachel thinks that Tyler is trying to split her and Angela up so that he's not the only remaining man in the Level 6 alliance. Later, Tyler tells Angela that he would only feel comfortable using the veto if he's sure that Scottie would be the replacement since Bayleigh had floated her (Angela's) name out as a replacement. Angela tells Rachel this who immediately accuses Tyler of lying, claiming that he was the one who actually floated Angela's name out, continuing to believe Bayleigh's lie. Rachel, who WAS under the impression that Scottie would be the replacement, then suggests that Tyler plans to keep Scottie if he goes up, confusing Angela even further.
Angela starts to get annoyed by Rachel, and later thinks that she's lying about the whole situation (since Angela knows that Rachel had previously thrown her and Kaycee under the bus to Bayleigh). Tyler tells Angela that he's not going to use the veto but will continue to act like he's trying. Tyler's reasoning is that he doesn't want to risk her as a replacement, and that JC + Bayleigh's side of the house would all be mad at him if he did use it. Angela and Tyler agree that they need Rachel out if nominations stay the same.
I feel sad for Rachel as I think her paranoia is going to cost her the game this week.
Normally, I would be like WHY would she believe someone not in her alliance over someone in her alliance. But I think the fact that Bayleigh told Rachel her power makes Rachel trust Bayleigh and believe that Bayleigh will only ell Rachel truth.
EmilyVancamp Also if JC votes Rachel out, you know he'll be in Faysal's ear about getting rid of her. Especially since Faysal is so scared of this all women's alliance.
Honestly Bayleigh is reminding me of bb18 Davonne rn
Making up small random lies for no reason or rhyme here and there, and honestly I see the same result happening.
Thank you for this.
