When Nicole Layog was evicted from the Big Brother 24 house, she revealed a conspiracy theory that she thought she had discovered that challenged her ability to trust her fellow houseguests. Nicole, a 41-year-old former cop and current private chef from from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was blindsided in week 4 by The Leftovers alliance. In the first week of the game, Nicole teamed up with Daniel Durston to create a Final 2 alliance called the Rogue Rats. She was also a member of the Po's Pack alliance, who had the majority in the house, but things quickly crumbled after that. Nicole chose Taylor Hale for her Festie Bestie, thinking that Taylor was the house's target for eviction, and she could use her to keep herself safe. This led to a misunderstanding between Taylor and Nicole which resulted Nicole and Daniel verbally attacking Taylor in front of everyone in the Big Brother house.
Some of the Big Brother houseguests were tired of bullies dominating the game, and The Leftovers alliance was born. This seven-person alliance, made up of Joseph Abdin, Michael Bruner, Kyle Capener, Taylor Hale, Brittany Hoopes, Monte Taylor, and Matt "Turner" Turner, formed to flip the house majority and to welcome Taylor with open arms. When Monte won the Head of Household (HOH) competition, he nominated Alyssa Snider and Indy Santos, with the true intention of backdooring Nicole. This meant that Taylor would have to sit on the block next to her Festie Bestie, Nicole. When Kyle and his Festie Bestie Daniel won the Power of Veto, Daniel did not want to use it because he wanted to keep Nicole safe, but he also could not resist the chance to evict Taylor. When Monte had a change of heart and decided to evict Alyssa instead, Daniel believed that it was because Monte realized that Taylor would be going home if she were nominated. Therefore, Daniel used the veto, and ended up backdooring Nicole, his closest ally in the game.
In an interview with Parade, Nicole revealed that she had come up with a conspiracy theory in the Big Brother house that made it hard for her to trust her fellow houseguests. Nicole said that she shared the theory with Michael before she left the house. Her theory was that there is a "fraternity/sorority sisterhood/brotherhood" twist in the game. Nicole explained that, while she was in the Big Brother house, she learned that Monte was in the Alpha fraternity. Additionally, she found out that Jasmine's husband was also in the Alpha fraternity. She also said that, from what she gathered, Taylor's sorority is a sister sorority to the Alpha fraternity.
Nicole went on to say that she began to put together what she believed to be the pieces of the puzzle to a Big Brother 24 twist. She explained, "And so in my brain, while talking to Terrance [Higgins], I came up with this mystery that they're possibly in some sort of brotherhood/sisterhood, because that is a very strong connection. And I think that it's possible, but I don't really know if that's even true." Live feed viewers saw Nicole telling Michael that Jasmine, Taylor, and Monte might have had an alliance. This is why Nicole found it so difficult to trust Monte, which led to her not believing him when he told her that Daniel should not use the veto.
In the Big Brother house, Nicole often spoke about how she was a cop and then a detective, and she prided herself on her ability to use those skills in the game. This may have actually hurt her as it made her overthink the situation in the house. There is no fraternity/sorority twist. Nicole's downward spiral in the house demonstrates how difficult of a game Big Brother is, and how always being ready to "expect the unexpected" can actually make houseguests paranoid and lead to their downfall.
Big Brother airs Sundays and Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT and Thursdays at 9 p.m. EDT on CBS.
