Tara

**Tara** (idkwhy#5376) placed 14th in Big Brother Season 2.

Proving to be a player aware of her surroundings, Tara would start off the game with good social reads on the other players. This would lead to her wanting to blindside Kyle at the Week 1 Roadblock eviction, but knowing she would not have the numbers settled for a hinky vote on him instead. In Week 2, Tara would unwillingly win the first HOH of the season when she was the only player in the HOH bracket with a valid score in Pitfall Panic. This HOH would go on to be known as one of the messiest in Aurora ORGs history, with Tara all over the place strategically and tanking her game with the entire house before veto was even finished. She would give away too much conflicting information to people who talked, notably telling Kyle she would like to target him if he was not socially protected while also attempting to throw Austin UTB to Kyle unsuccessfully. On top of this, she would be outed as sending a (tbf innocent) screenshot to Kyle, earning a strike and leaving the entire house not trusting her. Now dubbed “Tarat” by some alliances, Tara would isolate her only remaining allies when telling the entire house she was planning to make a Survivor alumni Plan B to “damage control” the mess she had caused. This would quickly get back to them, causing even them to doubt her true allegiance and intentions. Having spread herself way too thin, Tara was hoping and praying the nominees would stay the same so that she could avoid any more mess & her target TJ would be evicted. Unfortunately for her, Ness would win the POV and obviously use it on himself, making Tara move forward with “plan B that was not a backdoor” and nominate Cherry as the replacement. Cherry would immediately and publicly play his Express Pass, calling Tara out to the entire house for making many alliances, including the one with the Survivor alumni despite pushing they were together to others. Distraught, Tara would end up nominating Cam as the replacement despite him listing her as his most trusted player privately, as she wanted to listen to the house and damage control. Cam would quit the game very shortly after, causing her to not get to experience the blindside on her lead by Austin and Kyle by evicting not her target but instead Cam. Because of this, Tara would go into Week 3 feeling a bit more confident than she maybe should have that the entire house was not as against her as they were. She would be paired with Austin in the Week 3 Team Twist. When Cherry won HOH, Tara was immediately nominated for eviction alongside Austin as revenge as Cherry’s target. Motha Vanity would also reveal to her that she was going home without the veto, shattering her illusion that she was still well aligned in the house. Gunning for the veto, Tara would just barely lose by 10 seconds to Parker. After a failed pitch that made Parker feel more threatened to use it than reassured, Tara would stay on the block as the clear house target. She would proceed to implode: calling almost the entire house minus Kaity out in one way or another and completely tanking her game, she would lose much respect as most of her talking points were viewed as hypocritical or lacked self awareness. Stating that her intended strategy was to dig her hole as deep as possible as this would be her only way out of this week, Tara would unintentionally alienate even those considering Austin a bigger threat long term than herself. In the end, nothing would be able to save her after the house meeting and she would be evicted in a 9 - 2 vote, with Anthony and Denim throwing hinky votes for fun.
