Brielle

**Brielle** is a houseguest on *Big Brother 17* and *Big Brother 22: Second Chances*.

In *Big Brother 17*, he was the final woman of the season since Cycle 9 and the sole outsider of the dominating all men’s alliance, so she was major target to leave. Ronnie won HOH in Cycle 10, and nominated her alongside Elias in order to solidify his new Final Four alliance of himself, Finnegan, Keith, and Lance. Elias and Josiah were shocked by the nomination, and both men and their ally Brielle hoped Josiah could win the POV so that they had a better chance of all surviving to the Final Six. In the end, Finnegan won the POV and decided not to use it. Going into the eviction, Brielle campaigned very hard against Elias, and was nearly successful in getting Finnegan, Lance, Ronnie to flip on the men’s alliance and keep her around. However, they turned their plan back on her after realizing even more of the threat she was, evicting her in a 3-1 vote. Josiah kept her in the game, but it wasn’t enough, making her the fifth juror and completely exterminating all of the women.

In *Second Chances*, the jury stage was announced at the start of Cycle 8, and Joanna went on to win HOH, and her second of the season. She immediately wanted to target Brielle for being a major threat as she was the leader of the opposing alliance of herself, Lacey, Simon, and Thomas. She just needed a pawn to go up against her. Her allies Amadeus, Finnegan, and Garrison brought up Lacey and Thomas since they were the closest to her and more likely to win a competition and take her off the block. Joanna was hesitant to nominate either though because she had good relationships with both, especially the latter. She instead considered one of Blaineley, Choco, or Derek since they didn’t vote with her alliance to get rid of Brielle during the Triple Eviction. Finnegan quickly shot down them as suggestions because they needed their votes to actually get rid of Brielle. Joanna then mentioned Simon, but she was again shot down since he wasn’t as likely to win a competition. In the end, the alliance compromised and agreed to make Brielle and Lacey as the nominees, so at the nomination ceremony, they were nominated together. At the draw for the POV competition, Brielle and Lacey had some hope as both Simon and Thomas were drawn to compete, upping their odds of having one of them come down. Finnegan was also drawn to compete, which they weren’t fond of. At the POV competition, Finnegan ending up winning, to the complete dismay of the foursome. Brielle bit the bullet and tried to convince him to take her down, even promising to not target him should she win an upcoming HOH competition. It was a ruse though, and Finnegan knew that. He ultimately didn’t use the POV, keeping the nominations the same. Going into the eviction, Finnegan’s alliance remained with their plan to evict Brielle while Brielle and Lacey both campaigned to stay. Finnegan’s alliance outright promised Lacey’s their votes, so Lacey tried to convince Simon and Thomas to keep her in order to secure a majority. Meanwhile, Blaineley, Choco, and Derek were still steadfast in their scheme to play the middle and keep Brielle and Finnegan around to target each other. They talked with Brielle about keeping her, and she promised to not target them until all of Finnegan’s alliance were evicted. They were sold with the plea, so similar to Lacey, Brielle went to work trying to convince Simon and Thomas to keep her; that effectively made them the swing votes. Joanna even tried to convince Thomas to evict Brielle, using her threat status as the main reason. In the end, Thomas stuck with Joanna and voted out Brielle while Simon was convinced to keep Brielle in. That led to a 4-4 tie, shocking all of the house. Because of this, Joanna was left as the tiebreaker vote, and with her power, she evicted Brielle. She became the first jury member.
