I’ve really been looking forward to Xavier’s HOH week.

The first two weeks ofBig Brotherseason 23 have largely been dominated by Frenchie.

Xavier certainly has an interesting week ahead of him.

The thing is, he’s aligned with just about everybody in the house.

He’s included in both the Cookout alliance and the Royal Flush alliance.

That covers everyone in the house except Brent, Whitney, and Britini.

With Britini just coming off the block, Xavier is hesitant to nominate her again.

Still, there are no easy targets with the Wild Card in play.

The Wild Card Competition is really tricky.

When those cards add up to 13, the player is eliminated.

Of course, she’s not really a target, but Xavier wants to keep his options open.

Well, the plan ends up working.

But there’s a twist.

There are still a few wrinkles, though.

He knows he wants Brent on the block, but he’s unsure about Whitney.

As Xavier says, “if everyone wasn’t so emotional, this week would be easy-peasy.”

He’s not wrong.

But Xavier doesn’t even want to risk putting an alliance member in danger.

So, he starts to think differently.

All of it is a lie.

I get what Xavier is doing.

He’s trying to keep Brent calm and then sneakily vote him out.

But is he overcomplicating things?

I’m not so sure.

We’ll see how it goes!

Either way, I’m glad we’re seeing more gameplay and getting to know the other players better.
