Tyson

**Tyson** (savage1000) placed 8th in Big Brother Season 3.

Late to the party, Tyson would be added to the game after another player quit only one hour into the season starting. This would cause him to start off with an uphill battle- due to missing the premiere, some still held it against him that he was “inactive” despite production sharing the reason in an attempt to be fair to him. Despite this, Tyson was able to do quick social work with HOH Tori, securing himself safety for the week. Coincidentally, most of the house was hoping for him or Tori themselves to be up and evicted for the week, leaving his choice to sink time into the HOH as a very good one. Despite saying several times he was going to throw and did not want to be HOH, Tyson would end up trying until the end and become the Week 2 HOH. While saying he wanted to make a big move and get social threats out, Tyson would also seem to want to keep in mind damage control for the future, opting instead to take out someone most of the house was okay with leaving in Brayden. When Alejandro won the veto and asked for permission to use it, Tyson would be furious, feeling as though Alejandro was against him in the game. This would be fueled by several, namely Nick, as they would tell Tyson that “Alejandro was talking shit on him” but also tell the same to Alejandro. Due to the rising tensions and festering dislike for each other, Tyson would end up admitting to Alejandro he would be targeting him if he were to use the veto. This ensured Brayden’s safety, leaving Tyson in a tough spot to name a replacement nominee. With Rodrigo in his ear (and his own preference) to backdoor Nick, Nick and his allies would put in a lot of work to get Alex (or even Rodrigo) onto the block instead. Feeling as though Alex were a safer bet, Tyson would end up nominating him as the replacement for only a few minutes, as Alex quickly used an idol on himself to remove himself from the block. This left him with only four options, and while he wanted to make a move, Tyson was a bit frustrated and amused that he was being \*forced\* to because of the powers used. He would nominate Nick as his target after Rodrigo promised him that the votes were there to evict him. However, Nick would end up surviving the vote and leaving Tyson with a “flop” HOH after all. Despite his huge target now for pissing people off, Tyson would actually find safety in Week 3 due to his individual relationship with HOH Aaron; although on “Nick’s side” of the house, Aaron did not want Tyson out due to it not benefitting his own game. In Week 5, Tyson would win Safety Without Power from the auction. He would use this opportunity to not have to show his hand in the vote, playing both sides of the house. In Week 6, Tyson would campaign hard to HOH Kishor that his Nick backdoor plan was not going to work against Infinity, knowing via his connections that Infinity was going home. Despite spelling out exactly what would happen, he was unable to get Kishor to use his idol and thus left frustrated with his alliance, feeling as though they deserved what was coming to them. In Week 7, Tyson was able to stay off the block via his relationship he fostered with Aaron much earlier, which extended to Nick. This would create a new alliance for him, with him officially jumping ship on Kishor and Alex. He would be incredibly confused why Alex was dragging him through the mud in a house fight after he had tried genuinely to help them better their bottom position in the house with information, only for Alex to attempt to expose him despite the whole house not liking Alex. In Week 8, confusion would yet again hit Tyson when he was backdoored by #1 and #2 on his trust list. With big-move-itis running rampant, Tyson was seen as a trophy eviction solely for dodging all the answers in Touchy Subjects. Despite his confusion and annoyance, Tyson would fight to the last breath to flip votes to save himself, exposing Alejandro to Aaron as snaking on their alliance as well as threatening his jury vote to players. Unfortunately, despite the people who backdoored him realizing it was a bad move and attempting to keep him, Alejandro’s new alliance with Kishor and Skylar would hold firm this week, seeing Tyson evicted in a 5 - 0 vote.
