Alex

**Alex** (alexanderlovesfood) placed 7th in Big Brother Season 3.

While not making the best first impression with the Celeste Tribe, Alex would find the Hidden Immunity Idol immediately upon the twist being revealed, marking him as a player to watch in the house. Nominated for eviction by Mercury for being deemed weaker socially, Alex would be able to maintain his position on the bottom-mid of the house Week 1 and survive eviction without using his idol. During Week 2, Alex would be a heavily pushed target by much of the house. Despite HOH Tyson not wanting to nominate him initially to make a bigger move, he would wind up on the block when a subtle tug of war between Nick and Rodrigo saw Tyson attempting to keep this feud in the game. Alex would immediately use the Hidden Immunity Idol to save himself, shocking many and leaving Tyson with a very tough decision. The two would butt heads publicly lightly, thought Alex would garner no sympathy from the house and remained on the outs. Alex would find himself on the block yet again in Week 3. This time, he would have what was perceived as a “tantrum” in the house chat, getting upset that he was nominated all three weeks so far. Many would privately gather him, however, that not DMing people at all usually results in that. Despite these privately voiced annoyances at Alex, he would find safety despite ruffling feathers when many saw him as a reliable number to use against bigger players in coming weeks. In Week 4, he would have the highest number in counting but still lose HOH due to forgetting a number. Nominated for eviction after being promised safety, Alex would set his sights on HOH Nick if he were to ever win HOH himself. Nick would go on to chastise Alex for his fake “woe is me” act he was attempting as strategy, telling him to his face it's more annoying than anything else. He would once again stay in the game, having yet again seemingly little to do with people wanting him around vs others just hating the other nominee. In Week 5, he would win the auction HOH and immediately nominate two people that voted for him to stay despite his criteria being whacking out the votes against him in the house. To make matters worse for him, neither of his nominees would even be evicted when Kishor fumbled using his powers from the auction correctly, leaving him back “on the bottom” despite his HOH. In Week 6, Alex would be furious to find out that Nick stayed yet again, attributing everyone in the game to being sheep. During Week 7, Alex would be saved from being evicted even though he had the most votes when Rodrigo was ejected from the game. He would be surprisingly proud of this (which tbf is not his fault but would be viewed as a negative), likening himself to the Player of the Season despite almost the entire game disliking him and not really making any concrete moves yet. His long standing and one sided hatred for Tyson would also boil over in a house fight with Nick, publicly outing Tyson as a target to him. In Week 8, Alex would once again be nominated but this time as the main target. After flopping the veto comp, Alex assumed it was over for his game. However, Alejandro and Skylar were able to strong arm a surprising backdoor of Alex’s #1 enemy Tyson, saving him yet again. At this point, his DRs would be somewhat delusional- he believed he was actively consuming the game and surviving constantly on his own merit, despite his actions or threat level almost never being mentioned by those in power during any of the evictions he was surviving. The game largely seemed to view him as a goat, though in Alex’s POV he was \*the\* survivor of the season having seen the block so often. In Week 9, Alex hit the block yet again but this time as the likely target. After barely losing the POV, Alex would make a desperate attempt to stay by throwing Tobin UTB to Alejandro. Tobin had given Alex info earlier in the week in his desire to get Skylar or Alejandro out of the game, which Alex hoped to weaponize. This would be unsuccessful, and he would stay on the block and be finally evicted in a 4 - 1 vote. He is remembered for getting the “delusional edit,” thinking that he was controlling a lot more than he actually appeared to be.
