Brody

**Brody** is a houseguest on *Big Brother 36: Hijacked*.

Alejandro wins HOH in Cycle 7, and immediately wants to target Brody for being the next biggest threat outside of his alliance of himself, Brick, Carrie, Devin, Heather, Katie, and Pete. Not only is Brody is likable, but he’s a competition threat and unpredictable and thus, untrustworthy. Alejandro is worried about nominating Brody and fellow outsider Ella though because of the Hacker competition; if one of them were to use it, they could take each other, nominate one of Alejandro’s allies, and potentially shake up the game. Alejandro also worries about the Coup d’Etat that is in play. He ponders about nominating two of his allies as pawns in an attempt to backdoor Brody, and expresses his worries to them all. They consider the possibility of having two of them being nominated, but ultimately decide that Brody and Ella would never think that strategically. Before the nomination ceremony, Courtney is told by the alliance that Brody and Ella are the targets for the cycle, and she is relieved. Later at the nomination ceremony, Alejandro nominates Brody and Ella as intended. Brody and Ella are surprised by their nominations, and together ask Alejandro in the HOH room if they’re targets. He lies and states that Courtney is the backdoor target. They agree to do their best to win the Hacker or POV competition to seal the deal. Before the Hacker competition, Brick ends up finding the Coup d’Etat after talking it over with Courtney and Katie. He tells only tells them about it, thankful for their assistance and support. He also doesn’t trust the showmances or Pete enough to blab it about it. They then promise use the Coup d’Etat to work together to get to the Final Three. At the Hacker competition, Pete wins, to his complete surprise. He didn’t want to win it, and immediately only tells Alejandro, his closest ally, about it. They’re ultimately relieved that neither nominee won the competition, and Alejandro tells Pete to save Ella, and nominate Courtney in her place to preserve the alliance. He also tells Pete to choose Devin to compete in the POV competition to counter Brody potentially winning. Pete does as suggested, taking down Ella, and nominating Courtney in her place. Courtney is annoyed to be nominated yet again, but doesn’t worry as she trusts Brick and Katie have her back. At the POV draw, Devin is pre-chosen to compete alongside the HOH and nominees, and Heather and Pete are also drawn. At the subsequent POV competition, Courtney wins her first of the season, and second competition in a row. She later takes herself off the block at the POV Ceremony, and Alejandro renominates Ella in her place. Brody and Ella realize that one of them is going home, and spend a lot of time together. Brody meanwhile also campaigns to his friends Carrie and Devin about keeping him in the game. They know that Brody is the target, and prefer that Ella goes for their own game, but are unsure if the votes will be there to save him. They later talk to Brick, Courtney, and Katie about flipping the vote. While they enjoy Brody more, they still regard him as the bigger threat. At the eviction, Courtney is revealed to be ineligible to vote thanks to Pete, and Brody is evicted in a 4-2 vote, with Carrie and Devin throwing their votes out of respect of their friend. Brody becomes the second member of the jury.
