Article Summary
Female houseguests in Big Brother often face challenges in forming alliances with other women for fear of betrayal by the guys.
Blue claimed that America was not being supportive of other women as she often shared information with male houseguests instead of focusing on the women.
However, Blue's attempt to undermine America's credibility by informing Mecole about her alleged lack of female camaraderie proved unsuccessful, indicating that Blue's reasoning was flawed.
It's challenging to be a woman in the Big Brother house. At the start of the reality TV show season, female houseguests may have a desire to unite, but there is always a lingering doubt that one of them might betray the group in favor of the male contestants. The woman under scrutiny is often deemed as not being supportive of her fellow women, as she tends to prioritize men over them. Recently, Blue Kim privately accused America Lopez of lacking sisterhood. This comment may signify the dissolution of the friendship they had formed.

Both Blue and America faced eviction in the double eviction episode. Following their elimination, they shared their insights on their game during exit interviews. Blue also addressed a situation involving Mecole Hayes, where she allegedly accused America of not being a supportive female ally, as seen on the live feeds. This accusation stemmed from America having divulged to Cory Wurtenberger that she was targeting him. After Blue's departure, Mecole mused to herself, "I don't understand why Blue would tell America that." Consequently, Blue's attempt to discredit America appeared unsuccessful.
"I never saw America as a loyal friend because every conversation I had with her seemed to revolve around the guys," she explained on the Black Bi Reality podcast. "It felt like she wasn't being true to herself and she even apologized to me for prioritizing the guys over our relationship."
Initially, Blue and America were both part of The Family Style alliance. However, this alliance quickly crumbled. Despite this, the two women still shared details about their personal lives. Blue started a romantic relationship with Jared Fields, while America grew closer to Cory. Both Jared and Cory had also been working together, but that changed when Jared turned his focus on America. This led to a rivalry between the showmances, but Blue and America still wanted to maintain their friendship. However, everything changed once Jared was evicted from the game.
Blue's desire for revenge against Cory, who was the Head of Household during Jared's eviction, consumed her. As a strategy, Blue formed a closer alliance with Cory's mother, Cirie Fields. Blue had hoped that she would be safe during the double eviction and that America would be sent home as a pawn. However, things didn't go as planned, and Blue was the first to be evicted, followed by America. In the upcoming episode on Thursday, November 2, fans will find out if Blue and America have resolved their differences in the jury house.
Now, only Cirie, Felicia Cannon, Bowie Jane Ball, Matt Klotz, and Jag Bains remain in the game. During the finale, the two remaining houseguests will present their arguments on why they deserve to win the $750,000 prize. America has been displeased with Jag ever since he blindsided her and Cory a few weeks ago. Furthermore, Jag waited until the last minute to inform Blue that she was being evicted. As a result, Blue and America may choose not to vote for Jag, potentially making Matt the frontrunner for the prize if he reaches the final stage. However, Jag is aware of his precarious position after America revealed that Cory believed Matt played a stronger game. To secure victory, Jag might betray Matt by splitting up The Minutemen alliance.
On Sunday, November 5, there will be a special live eviction episode of Big Brother 25.
Editor's P/S
Blue's feelings of betrayal by America and her belief that America was not being supportive of other women are understandable. As a female houseguest on Big Brother, Blue may have felt that she needed to align with the male contestants in order to increase her chances of staying in the game. However, this strategy may have backfired, as it appears that America was not impressed by Blue's lack of loyalty to her fellow female houseguests.
Blue's attempt to undermine America's credibility by informing Mecole about her alleged lack of female camaraderie also proved unsuccessful, indicating that Blue's reasoning was flawed. It is possible that Blue's focus on the male contestants and her willingness to betray her fellow female houseguests may have contributed to her eviction from the game.
