3:42 AM: Frenchie spoke to Azah, Claire and Hannah in the HoH room. They discussed potential showmances. Hannah thinks that Alyssa and Christian or Alyssa and Travis will end up together. Frenchie said he could see Brent and Whitney being together. Frenchie let the girls know that his plan is to be the showmance killer, so don’t get into a showmance. The girls said that they are good with that. Frenchie reiterated that he refuses to nominate women this week. Frenchie revealed that he has a big backdoor plan in mind, so he needs nominations and needs someone to use the veto. Frenchie said the person that he is considering targeting is going to be a beast down the road and can easily take the $750,000 from them. Frenchie said that this person is also trying to start a flirtmance already, so he would like to upset one person before he upsets two. Frenchie went on to say that it is Brent.
3:52 AM: Frenchie told the girls that he is going to look for two people to go up as pawns, making it clear that he will be a pawn for them down the line if they need. Hannah suggested offering it to Brent so that he feels comfortable. Frenchie admitted that he is not 100% set on the plan yet as he could save it for later. Frenchie talked about getting his target to write his own nomination speech without knowing that it will be used on him, then he will look to the camera afterwards and ask “are you not entertained?". Frenchie said that the fans are going to go nuts.
