The twist was stupid and unfair though. But so are most of them and houseguests should prepare for them to happen.

No really a cowards way, and production did give any hgs a chance to survive with the ‘not use veto option’ but hgs should expect twists and try and cover that just incase. If you’re a target then bad luck. Its the productions and Erica’s fault. Whatever you do in the house may come back and get you if you’re not careful enough. Kaela choosing Erica and making sure she goes was gameplay not just some random stuff. It happened to Bruno on bbcan3, he was evicted because of viewers giving brittnee power but Bruno was fine until he blew up at Sarah.

Kaela could have chosen Maddy or Paras but she chose Erica because Erica made herself a target not the production.

Twists are productions fault but they can’t be blamed for how the houseguest play of their actions. They don’t force them to ruin their games

I also don't get how Erica evading the block under Kaela's HOH is a bad game move? She had intimidated Kaela to such a point that she was scared to put Erica up, yes she got lucky with Johnny winning the POV, but that is within the rules of the game and Kaela had failed to get Erica or Johnny out, neither of them deserved what happened afterwards all because they'd outplayed Daela that week.

Erica would have never won. She was too clear of a target physically, socially and somewhat strategically.

She was going to go eventually anyway. At least if a double or a triple would have happened.

I didn’t deny that but Erica has some blame because of her gameplay, she would have survived if she wasn’t a target or someone else like ali or liv winning HOH. The twist was annouced before Kaela won hoh. Kaela getting rid of erica (with the help from canada) was a good game move.

This twist could have sent anyone out because of their gameplay

As a HG, you have to be prepared that a twist/twists will happen. They always have they always will.

Otherwise do not bother applying.
