Operation Epic Ruthless 101 - Big Brother 9

In the very early morning hours of February 22, James and Chelsia came up with a plan to turn the whole house on its side, "Operation Epic Ruthless." Similar to Operation Condor, Operation Epic Ruthless is a plan to evict specific couples from the house. For details about Operation Condor, see my articles: "Operation Condor 101" (CLICK HERE) and "Operation Condor 102" (CLICK HERE).

Operation Epic Ruthless is more covert than Operation Condor because only two couples will know about the plan.

James and Chelsia want to win the Power of Veto and do something completely unexpected. Their plan is to bring Joshuah and Sharon into the "Operation" and then make a deal with Alex and Amanda to take them off the block. They would replace them with Shelia and Adam or Ryan and Allison. Their deal with Alex and Amanda would be for them to vote to evict Matt and Natalie. With Joshuah and Sharon voting as well, Matt and Natalie would be the couple evicted. This would blow the whole house apart.

The next HOH would put Alex and Amanda and another pair on the block, but their deals with everyone would include giving James and Chelsia a one week pass from nomination.

At nine in the morning, Operation Epic Ruthless began. James and Chelsia approached Joshuah and he agreed to their plans.

When Joshuah and Sharon won the Power of Veto later that day, Operation Epic Ruthless was secured.

Once the Veto Ceremony on Sunday, February 24 concludes, we will know whether Operation Epic Ruthless is really a serious plan. If Operation Epic Ruthless is going to happen, then Josh and Sharon will be taking Alex and Amanda off the block by using their Veto. Whomever James and Chelsia put up in their place will be a pawn and Matt and Natalie will be going home.

Because of the drama that has ensued within the house, Joshuah is concerned about using the Veto and bringing Alex and Amanda off the block. Josh has suggested they leave the nominations the same, and tell the Operation Condor outer circle the plan has deviated slightly and they will be sending Matt and Natalie home this week, with the new HOH putting Alex and Amanda back on the block to send home one week later.
