Antonio

**Antonio** is a houseguest on *Big Brother 27: Cliques*.

He found himself as a member of the Brawn clique with Cida, DJ, Sanders, and Ulrich, and immediately formed a strong bond with all of them. His core allegiances were to Cida, DJ, and Ulrich, and together the Brawn clique found early success in the game after Cida's HOH win in Cycle 1, and aligning themselves with Offbeats duo David and Leshawna. His charisma and their general likability also allowed them to survive past Cycle 2 under Brain B's HOH reign. However, in Cycle 2, Leshawna also found herself not trusting Antonio because she saw how strong of a player he was becoming because of his strong social ability and tight relationships with the members of his clique. In the following cycle, she won the HOH competition, and considered him as a target. She wanted him on the block as a possible evictee, so she convinced her alliance to have her nominate one of them as a pawn. The initial plan was to go after Populars member Kelly for being a competition threat after she won the POV competition in the last cycle, and Leshawna felt she had stronger connections with everyone else. At the following nomination ceremony, Antonio and Kelly were nominated for eviction. Kelly was disappointed to be nominated for a second cycle in a row, and promised Leshawna her loyalty if she remained in the game. Antonio meanwhile wasn't worried, believing he had the votes to stay regardless of who was on the block next to him. At the subsequent POV competition, Sanders won, earning her first win of the season. She planned to take Antonio off the block, and she went to Leshawna about a possible nominee. She preferred that fellow popular Camryn go up as a pawn for being inoffensive and annoying. Leshawna shut the plan down however, and convinced Sanders to not use it since Antonio was staying regardless; not only did she not want to Antonio to come off the block, but she also didn't want to get anymore blood on her hands by nominating another person. At the POV Ceremony, the POV was not used, to the shock of Antonio and all of Brawn. Sanders reasoned that he was safe regardless. Going into the eviction, Kelly was set to leave for being on the outs. Leshawna and her closest ally David meanwhile decided to flip on their alliance with the Brawn clique in order to get rid of Antonio for being untrustworthy. They revealed their plot to Kelly, and she swore her loyalty to them. With that, they went to work garnering the votes and convincing the house to flip the target. The three Populars Camryn, Miroslaw, and Trent were quick to join, wanting to save their teammate and Leshawna utilized her bonds with the three Black Brains B, Erica, and Marjorie to get convince them, as they wanted to break up the tight clique. Finally, with some maneuvering alongside David, Leshawna finalized her plan by convincing floaters fellow Offbeat Candice and Brain Noah into joining them as well. In the end, Antonio was evicted in a 9-6 vote, only receiving all of his clique members, and remaining Offbeats Belinda and Odd's vote to stay. They were all blindsided, and he left the game in complete shock.
