Nick

**Nick** (kawky247) placed 6th in Big Brother Season 3.

Taking control of Saharah from the shadows Week 1, Nick would become a player to watch instantly. While clocked by Tyson and Tobin for how strongly he attempted to get his way this week, Nick \*would\* get his way successfully alongside his allies. After Tobin won the Power of Veto, Skylar would hit the block. Despite Nick being closely aligned and well liked by both Ness and Skylar, Nick would state that Skylar was his #1 and proceed to aggressively gather numbers. This would include forming the Core Four alliance with Skylar, Alejandro, and Aaron. Together, they would strong arm the other two voters into keeping Skylar despite wanting Ness to stay, if not solely \*because\* they strong-armed them. Nick would be clocked for this, but appeared not to care much as loyalty was built and tested with his new alliance. In Week 2, Nick would play hard to get a backdoor option into play. When Alejandro won the veto, Nick would go to work playing all sides and stirring the pot, helping to fester a feud between Alejandro and Tyson. When this was successful, Nick would celebrate openly with his alliance. Perhaps cocky not to assume the worst at \*all\*Nick would be shocked when he became the replacement nominee after Alex used his Hidden Immunity Idol. He would be informed of Rodrigo’s ambitious and successful campaign to get Nick backdoored for the week, frustrating him only a bit. He would appear immensely confident he was staying, listing his “at least” 6 votes to stay. Unbeknownst to him initially, the votes were largely in favor of getting rid of him from the moment he hit the block. Getting wind of this, Nick would begin to get nervous and a bit humbled, fearing that his time may be up for getting clocked as a threat early. Luckily for him, his close allies in Aaron and Skylar were able to scramble and ensure a flip, narrowly saving him in a 5-4 vote. He would be relieved, then, in Week 3 when Aaron won HOH, feeling as though he earned a break after fighting for his life. In Week 4, Nick would become the new HOH and begin a potential downfall arc for not only himself, but also his close allies. Being very good TV oriented and wanting to have fun, Nick would give speeches with his nominations that left a lot of the house feeling he was full of it. Additionally, after a house fight with Mercury, he would not make any attempt to downplay his allegiance to Aaron and Alejandro, leading several in the house to clock Aaron in particular as someone to target alongside Nick. He would also raise several eyebrows when keeping Rodrigo (who overtly was targeting him) off the block and nominating Kishor (who had an alliance with). In addition to his going out of the way to build trust with outsider Alex, who he unfortunately had to nominate anyway, all of these things would lead to his HOH being seen as a lowkey “disaster” HOH. Nevertheless, Nick was able to get his target from his initial nominations evicted with Mercury leaving the house, at least leaving the messy reign as successful targetwise. In Week 5, Nick would be a potential nominee for many in the house; luckily for him, he would win immunity from the auction. Several would state that the auction flopping was in part due to Nick in DMs, convincing everyone the immunity bid at the end was actually a secret power. In Week 6, Nick would be nominated as a backdoor target again by Kishor. He would feel immensely cocky and safe again, stating he had the best social game in the house so he was not worried at all. Unbeknownst to him, several players he trusted were truly weighing their options on whether or not to take him out now or later. “Later” would be the popular option, leading him to survive another tight vote in the game. In Week 7, Nick would once again become the HOH for the week, clearly having 3 targets that he did not care to manage much at all/made clear he doesn’t care for them all. He would have a surprising and random house fight with Alex, calling him out for his “cry cry cry” strategy as well as being about to be evicted against an inactive person if they weren’t expelled. While certainly interesting while the season had been stale, gamewise this did him no favors beyond having some players consider if he could actually be a goat definitively rather than a threat to win. Preparing for the end game, Nick would make an alliance with Aaron, Tobin, and Tyson, seemingly wanting to separate themselves finally from the Core Four alliance that felt they had been dominating the game. He would be annoyed, then, in Week 8 when Tyson would get backdoored, feeling personally that it was too soon to be flipping on the alliance even if it was meant to be “fake.” Nick would be annoyed in Week 8 to see Tyson backdoored by two people in his alliance he had just made, feeling as though Alex were an obvious and easy boot for them to maintain their positions. In Week 9, Nick would want Kishor evicted due to feeling that he “had everyone misted.” Despite this, the entire house would be mask off working against him and Aaron, leaving him the sole vote to evict Kishor and on the bottom. The following week he would abstain from competing in a crucial HOH comp, despite every single other player in the comp nominating him if they won the HOH. His only hope was that Aaron would not win veto, as he was seen as a bigger threat. Unfortunately for Nick, Aaron clutched the veto and sealed his fate in the game. He would not be surprised by now due to several warnings that the Core 4 was no more, seeing the writing on the wall. In the end, Nick was good spirited about his eviction in a 3 - 0 vote. He is remembered for riding the Core Four alliance the hardest out of any of its members, despite being the first telegraphed to fall since the prejury.
