Level 6 pulled off yet another blindside during Thursday’s double eviction on “Big Brother 20.” Unfortunately for Brett, it was on him. Despite being burned by his own alliance, the cyber-security engineer kept it classy in his exit interview with Julie Chen and joked that while he’s not bitter now, there’s “plenty of time” to become a bitter juror before the finale. But will he be one? SEE ‘Big Brother’ spoilers: Who won second Week 12 Head of Household competition on #BB20? The simplest answer is yes. As Chen put it, “You got played, son.” He was definitely not expecting Level 6 to turn on him at all, and he even said he felt most betrayed by Tyler, his final two person. He had floated the idea of splitting up Angela and Kaycee, which is really JC‘s goal, to Tyler, so he knows Tyler was the one who flipped the tables back on him. He unknowingly played into Tyler’s hands and got screwed. SEE Brett Robinson (‘Big Brother 20’) exit interview: ‘There’s plenty of time’ to become a bitter juror Later on Thursday night, Angela and Kaycee gloated about their smug goodbye messages they had just record for Brett. Those on top of Angela and Tyler’s one-two punch of of being “one step ahead” and “two steps ahead” could turn off Brett even more when he sees them. SEE ‘Big Brother 20’ spoilers: Who did second Week 12 Head of Household nominate for eviction on live episode of #BB20? But Brett said something more telling in his interview: “I’m upset, but I do respect the game.” He could’ve been way more angry and raging than he was about getting blindsided — and he was visibly stunned and devastated — but he understood that this was a game move and nothing more. That has long been one of Level 6’s strengths: separating the game from the personal. Compare Brett’s interview with that of Scottie, who couldn’t articulate much beyond calling Tyler a “coward.” SEE ‘Big Brother 20’: Who won Head of Household for Week 12? You also got the sense that Brett knew getting blindsided was a possibility. “I knew when I made that final two I either solidified my bond with Tyler or shot myself in the foot,” he told Chen. His deal with Tyler was a Hail Mary when he realized he had no path to the end and was the low man on the Level 6 totem pole. But he picked the wrong Level 6 person to pair up with since he had no idea Tyler had multiple final two deals or that Tyler considers him his biggest threat. Brett also took the high road by not exposing Level 6 to JC and Sam before he left, which he acknowledged was a ploy to try to deter Level 6 from evicting him. But if he had the clarity and foresight to remain loyal when he had absolutely no reason to be anymore, he probably won’t vote with his emotions when it comes down to it.

Every week, Parade’s Mike Bloom will be bringing you interviews with houseguests as they get evicted from the game. A Big Brother alliance should ideally work like a computer program. It runs smoothly and effectively without any outside interference. With that logic, the “Level 6” group might be one of the best-run alliances in the show’s history, as they were able to effectively dismantle their opponents at nearly every step of the game. Among them was Brett Robinson. The cybersecurity engineer was able to recover from two early stints on the block, even creating his own spyware when he feigned being an outsider to get in close with the opposing alliance. But in the end, he let a paranoid bug get in his circuitry (perhaps a form of lice), as his growing partnership with JC Monduix had him targeting his ally Angela Rummans. When he proposed the plan to Tyler Crispen, he balked at Brett’s insistence of getting rid of his showmance partner, and he, Angela and Kaycee Clark decided the bro had to go. As a result, Brett got the rug pulled out from under him by some of his closest allies, and even his winning defense could not protect him, promptly crashing his game during this season’s double eviction. Eighty-six days ago, Bostonian Brett walked through the doors, with a game plan to wear a fake set of glasses to gain trust. But the specks spec didn’t come to fruition, as he joined together with Tyler, Kaycee, Angela, Rachel Swindler and Winston Hines to form “Level 6.” In the first two weeks, due to Kaitlyn Herman’s unpredictable game, they saw pretty, and Brett was going unnoticed—sans his unique facial hair. That came to a “yatus” when Scottie Salton won Head of Household. The shipping manager had plans to break up the package deal of Brett and Winston, whose “bromance” was becoming quite prevalent. Brett attempted to “hack” Scottie’s brain by throwing others under the bus, but that seemed to dig his hole deeper, as he became further mystified by his charisma. With his back against the wall, he funneled his efforts into his speeches, using the forum he’s given in front of the house to cause chaos or poke fun. While he used his Veto meeting speech to throw some shade at “love and light” Kaitlyn, in his eviction speech, he asked for her vote, claiming Angie “Rockstar” Lantry would flip and blame her. He survived the eviction after “Level 6” decided Winston was more of a liability and gained a new “best friend” in Rockstar, whose confrontations with him ranged from vocal to percussive. Though he was able to dodge a bullet, another shot came his way two weeks later, when Bayleigh Dayton became HoH. Similarly to Scottie, she targeted Brett due to his smooth talking, putting him up against pawn Rachel. But another time on the block came with another speech. On this eviction night, he outed Bayleigh’s Power App to the entire house (a fact that was only known to a select few), as well as revealed the all-women “Maneaters” alliance, with Rachel as the head. Despite Rachel and “FOUTTE”‘s confidence that this would finally be his time, “Level 6” once again got the last laugh, having become unhappy with Rachel’s paranoia during her time as a nominee. The man who called himself “El Cockaroch” had lived to infest the house, but he decided to attune his antennae to a different frequency. He and his alliance began to fake strife between them, which got Brett closer to the other side of the house. As a result, he got into a flirtmance with Haleigh Broucher that had Faysal Shafaat seeing red, got back on the good side of Bayleigh after outing her, was able to convince Fessy he was on his side to get him to target Scottie, and even had Rockstar proposing an alliance to him in what would be her final week in the game. But he always had the last laugh—sometimes quite literally—in his goodbye messages, boasting to them about his duplicity as they were about to step into the jury house. But there was something real building: a growing friendship with JC. But Brett’s plotting was about to burn his game like brown sugar carelessly left in an oven. While Brett had mostly feigned his distance from “Level 6,” he was keenly aware of the power trio that was Angela, Kaycee and Tyler. He decided to make a Final Two deal with Tyler, unaware that the lifeguard was adding it to the list of offers he had. When JC floated out the idea of deviating from the administered plan and splitting up Angela and Kaycee, Brett agreed to the power move. He felt that Angela was the only other person the jury hated more than him, and vaulting her out of the house could earn him some goodwill with the people he burned. But taking the proposal to Tyler sent up red flags, with Brett’s target appearing as big as his inflatable emoji costume. Even without Angela’s heightened sense of smell, her allies could sniff out his shadiness, and though they agreed to backdooring Angela on the surface, they secretly plotted to cut bait on Brett. When Tyler won HoH during the double eviction and nominated JC and Sam Bledsoe, everything seemed to be going to the illusory plan; he even told Brett to throw the Veto so he wouldn’t have to get blood on his hands. But he would have blood on his hands of a completely different type by the end of the evening. Angela won the Veto and removed JC from the block, calling it “Just One Step Ahead.” Tyler then followed it up, naming his move “Two Steps Ahead” and sending a shocked Brett to the block. Those maneuvers led to an emotional Brett taking many steps to the front door, throwing it open to greet Julie Chen and a jury who is sure to have a reaction to his arrival. Before going to the jury house, Brett talks with me about his reaction to his blindside, the strategy behind his speeches and who he thinks has the best game out of the final five houseguests. Talk to me about what’s going through your head as Angela and Tyler do their “one step ahead/two steps ahead” maneuver that ended with you on the block. What were you thinking at that moment? First off, what a crock of [expletive] being one step ahead. I shot myself in the foot when I talked to Tyler about turning on the girls. If I had won HoH and made my move to target Angela and Kaycee, I should have asked for forgiveness afterward from Tyler, instead of permission beforehand. I don’t think they were one step ahead; they just won that Veto. If I had won that Veto, I would have been the one who was one step ahead. I perceived that when you found out the vote was unanimous, you took a hard look to your left. Was that glare for JC or Tyler? That glare was for JC, unfortunately. But at the end of the day, I also understood that he wasn’t going to make himself a target when he knew I was getting voted out. He didn’t want to make himself a target by voting to keep me. And I kept my mouth shut and just hugged everyone on my way out the door because I didn’t want to make him a target over Tyler or Angela. You had a plan to take out Angela, figuring she would be an offer to the jury that would win you points. Did you ever think about taking Angela to the end instead because of what the jury thought of her? Yeah, I absolutely did. My original plan was to take out Kaycee as a good competitor. Tyler offered up Angela which worked out beautifully because Angela was the only person I thought Tyler would choose to take to Final Two if we all made it to Final Three.<doc-sep>Share this Story: 'Bitter as ever': Big Brother's Haleigh Broucher and Brett Robinson sound off on brutal double eviction 'Bitter as ever': Big Brother's Haleigh Broucher and Brett Robinson sound off on brutal double eviction Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected.

Haleigh Broucher, the only player left standing in her alliance, was preparing to head out the doors on Thursday following a unanimous vote. And while the houseguests found common-ground in sending the 21-year-old college student packing following a vote of 4-0, their unity was put to the test when it was announced that one more player would be walking out of the house within the hour. The double eviction urged the final five to fight for their lives, as Tyler Crispen won the Head of Household and his showmance partner Angela Rummans secured the Power of Veto. While the power-house pair had remained loyal to their dominating Level 6 alliance all season long, the couple quickly decided to take a shot at their ally and one of the strongest players in the game.

Article content “Honestly, if I am going to go before finale night, that’s the way I want to go. I don’t have to watch any goodbye messages. I don’t have to pack my bag. As harsh as it is, it is a quick and painless death,” Brett said the morning after he was backdoored. While Haleigh had ample time to come to grips with her looming eviction, Brett was completely thrown off and feels ultimately betrayed by the people he had been so loyal to. He does, however, understand why they chose to take advantage of the moment and cut him when they did. “I think Tyler made a move. The only threat he saw in the game was me, as a physical and even mental, in some capacity. So, he took his shot and it was based on the veto in terms of how he would go about it,” he said.

Article content “What might have spooked Tyler is that I went to him with a Final 2, within our alliance, and he saw that if I was willing to turn against Level 6, it would either secure my position with Tyler by saying let’s get one of the girls out, or it would blow up in my face. It was a gamble.” Now that Haleigh and Brett are headed to the jury house, they’ll help name the season’s $500,000 winner. Yet the Massachusetts-based cybersecurity engineer believes the finale will be a heated and emotional one. “I’ll tell you this right now, jury is going to be as bitter as ever. We had some very upset people who played very personal games. I think we are going to see a very bitter jury,” he said. Haleigh, on the other hand, has her eyes on a few potential players, who she feels deserve the title. “I’m going to have to say Angela and Kaycee [Clark] are both playing a very good game,” she shared.

Big Brother Close this dialog window Streaming Options Brett Robinson loves himself some Brett. But the other folks in Big Brother did not love him enough to keep him in the house. Brett was blindsided in the second of Thursday’s double eviction episode when Angela and Tyler used the power of veto to put him on the block and out of the game. What does the 25-year-old cybersecurity engineer make of Angela and Tyler’s “two steps ahead” comments? Why does he think they turned on him? What does he have to say about some of his own harsh goodbye messages? And how is he feeling about his impending reunion with Rockstar? We asked Brett all that and more, and because he was not in the diary room, he did not have to scream his responses. (You can also read our exit interview with Haleigh right here.) Big Brother Credit: Sonja Flemming/CBS ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Ultimately, why do you think you were voted out? BRETT ROBINSON: I think that Tyler was given two offers: either to stay loyal to Angela or stay loyal to me. And based on who won the veto, he would have gone with that offer. I was in Level 6 with Tyler, I made a final 2 with Tyler, and I came to him with the offer to turn on Level 6 early, so he could smell the mutiny and that made him nervous that I might turn on him. What do you make of Angela’s comment at the Veto Ceremony that she was one step ahead, and then Tyler chiming in and saying two steps? First, I found it very cute and very telling. I hope the other Houseguests can see that strong alliance. I saw this coming from a mile away and I could see their relationship getting closer, so I was trying to get in there to break it up before they got too close. She was the only person that made me nervous that Tyler would pick her over me if we made it to Final 3. He wanted to show loyalty to Angela by making that comment. You had some pretty harsh words in some of your goodbye messages to people. Why kick future jury members whose votes you may need later on their way out the door? I think the only harsh words were to Rockstar and Fess, and those were people I never got along with from the start. So why not give people what they want. You have to realize your position in the ecosystem. I was in a lower tier than Tyler because he had won people over. I was hoping to create more of a public display, so anyone would choose me from a final 3 to go into a final 2, so that if I didn’t win that last HOH, they would choose to sit next to me. When Scottie came back in the house he told you how much the jury disliked Angela. You then wanted to target her, thinking sending her out would win favor with the jury. But if you knew they didn’t like her, wouldn’t she have been better as someone to go to the end with? Yeah, absolutely. I thought about that many times. But I was also aware of Angela’s relationship with Tyler and Kaycee, and if we made it to the final 3, there is no way she would have picked me over either of them. She was very loyal to Tyler and Kaycee. A lot can change between now and the finale, but who do you think is playing the best game in the house so far and why? Tyler made the strong move in terms of competitions, but he has a lot of blood on his hands, especially burning a final 2. There is still JC and Sam, who have no blood on their hands. I’d say Sam, because she has still remained in the house after all of this time and she hasn’t burned anyone. I think she has been throwing competitions ever since her HOH to appear as less of a threat. What about the flip side? Who in the house is playing the worst game and why? I would say Angela. Don’t get me wrong, I throw my jabs out there, but I never make it personal. But I think Angela, on a personal level, has really rubbed some people the wrong way.
