Why did Tim and Cassandra "need" Nikki to go?
 

I was rewatching BBCan4, and around the time of Nikki's eviction, Tim and Cassandra pretty much agreed they "needed" her to go. Anyone remember why that was? It's not like she was ruining their game, and she would always have voted in their favour, and she'd never win a comp. Why target her instead of the Brothers or Kelsey?

Well first of all they aren’t very good gameplayers and made some horrible decisions during the season. I guess they thought that the other side would drag Nikki to the end over them, because they were stupid enough to think they could beat Kelsey and the Brothers in the final 4.

haha I like the way postgame that everyone said Cass was an amazing campaigner and great liar, but as I viewer I could always tell when she was lying/campaigning.

Nikki was very emotional as a player. If I recall she hated cass at one point because she used the bath after she cleaned it and wanted cass out. Good entertainment but a terrible ally. Plus she was awful at the comps but if cass and tim were smart (which they weren't) they should have dragged her further in the game as they would have better chance of winning the comps. Plus no offensive nikki would have been the perfect goat in the final 2

I'm racking my brain trying to think of the reason but I'm sure there was one. If you have a read through the feeds thread I'm sure I or someone else would've been commenting on their plans.

I think DTM is along the right lines though. Nikki constantly fluctuated with her like/dislike of Cass, she was supposed to be in an alliance with her, Tim and Joel but would have conversations with the brothers and Kelsey about how she couldn't stand her and wanted her out :joker: then they'd make up and she'd drag Kelsey to Cass, it was a MESS. I think that close to the endgame she just became expendable and too much of a risk, with like six people in the house if you can't rely on someone's vote cause you might've annoyed them that day it's not ideal

Nikki's eviction was just her being a victim of circumstances anyway. Had things not played out that way, I think there's every chance she'd have been dragged to the F2 by any one of them

The whole house knew Cass was a liar, I think she got lucky that people in the house warmed to her as a person and she used that to her advantage.

1) Cass/Tim/Joel had a stronger alliance (wasn't it Joel vs. Nikki on the block?).
2) Cass wanted all the girls out aside from Kelsey because she found it easier to manipulate her & the men.
3) Tim sort of didn't know what he was doing in this format and probably just listened to Cass wanting Nikki out. :joker:

aka Cass is a idiot

True :fan:
