backdooring is definitely when you leave someone off the block on purpose so that they don't automatically get to play in the veto

the entire purpose of the strategy is to get out somebody who's good at comps. if they can't play veto, they can't use their comp ability to save themselves.

it's been super overrused lately because people want to back door everyone, but if they aren't that good at comps its not really that needed. backdooring is risky because you might not get the chance to renominate your backdoor target

if someone gets to play veto through chance though, i wouldn't be that strict about saying WELL NOW ITS NOT A BACKDOOR. i mean if that was the plan and they got to play through chance then the backdoor plan kinda lost out to the odds but it's still a backdoor plan

one interesting twist on backdooring outside of just having the chance to win veto, is that if you plan to backdoor someone and they get into the veto comp through chance, they might think they are completely safe and throw the veto. that's still kind of a backdoor. they got nominated and evicted without realizing they needed to play to win.

you could be super nitpicky and say that's not a backdoor because they had a chance to win still but it's just a more socially strategic backdoor.
