So for starters, its important to note that Kaitlyn spent the first month of the game flirting with Faysal and Tyler because, as mentioned earlier, shes one of those center-of-attention type girls. This didnt sit well with HoH Sam who, lets just say took issue with the flirtation strategyto put it nicely. This sent Kaitlyn into a fucking tailspin of tears and crying, and it was glorious. But at least she still had her best friend Faysal watching her back, right? Yeah, no. Faysals dick commanded him to save Haleigh (in a creepy fashion, but whatever), which led to MORE tears and crying from a jilted Kaitlyn. At that point, it was probably in FOUTTEs best interest to take out Rockstar over Kaitlyn, but for one reason or another, the whole house united against the hippie pest (who, I should point out, claimed she was communicating with Tylers dead father at this point soyeah) and sent her out in the most lopsided vote up to that point in the season.

All of this would be fine on its own, but then we get to the twist. Sam won a do-over in week one that allowed her to save an evictee after the votes were revealed, and if she didnt use it by week four, it would automatically be used to save whoever got evicted. This person happened to be Kaitlyn. Now, if you know anything about Big Brother, you know that the producers budget the show nowadays with eighteen players in for their schedule. This usually means multiple buybacks, although they tend to take at least one such buyback and PRETEND that the players in the house can prevent it from happening. Like BB19: in THEORY, Paul couldve beaten Cody, but theres no way Cody was losing a competition hed already won once before.

This brings us back to Kaitlyn. The caveat to Sams power was that, while the evicted player wasnt completely out of the game, they had to complete a challenge to stick around. The producers did this in the interest of fairnessbut at the same time, they created a seven-piece puzzle that a player just needed to disassemble on one side of a wall, and reassemble on the other side. In two and a half minutes. Thats a SEVEN-piece puzzle, ALREADY put together, that the player just needed to transfer from one platform to another. I think you know where this is going.

What happened next was a thing of beauty. Kaitlyn started out strong enough, pushing the seven pieces from one side to the other. And thenmagic. She struggled with the legs and wasted Id wager a solid minute to minute and a half just sobbing about how she couldnt do it. I was stunned. Id spent the entire week preparing for this moment under the mindset that the producers would never allow someone to fail their challenge. And somehow, Kaitlyn managed to defy expectations. She gave up and wept so spectacularly that I legitimately wondered for a moment whether shed thrown the competition just to get out of the house. That ending STILL gives me goosebumps (probably because it was the last time that an event in the house didnt directly benefit Level 6/5/4, but whatever.)

So a sobbing Kaitlyn fails her challenge, and you KNOW production had no contingency plan. They budgeted time in the episode specifically for her to succeed and rejoin her housematesnot for her to ACTUALLY leave the house. There were no interview chairs when she left, and Julie had about two minutes to conduct an interview with one of the seasons biggest characters. Ive gotta say, given how much I hate productions influence on events, I LOVE when their own stupid bullshit backfires. I loved when their saboteur twist blew up week one of Big Brother 12, I loved when Keshia burned their dumb power steal twist in week one of Celebrity Big Brother, and I loved how 90% of their twists in BB20 went over like a wet fart (except the one time they worked and utterly ruined the momentum of the seasonthanks for the hacker twist, assholes!)
