Big Brother fans are known for knowing the game well, and sometimes they make comparisons to other seasons. Nicole Franzel has played three seasons of the game and has left her mark on the franchise. But fans are really torn on her gameplay, and now they’re comparing Hannah Chaddha to her.

[Spoiler alert: Spoilers for the Big Brother 23 live feeds on Aug. 23!]

Hannah Chaddha’s game on ‘Big Brother 23’

Hannah Chaddha started out as an unofficial member of The Cookout, which includes Azah Awasum, Tiffany Mitchell, Kyland Young, Xavier Prather, and Derek Frazier. But then she became an official member, and they have the goal to make it to the final six together.

Hannah has also been close to Derek Xiao. They also talk game, but her loyalty has always lied with The Cookout.

Now that The Cookout is targeting Derek X, she is giving him a lot of false hope and lying. That’s part of the game, but some fans are confused by her decisions.

“At first, I thought that Hannah just gets weird selective amnesia when it comes to her gameplay,” a fan wrote in a Reddit thread. “She campaigned the hardest to get DX out this week or the next and then got all mopey about it to the point of helping him plan a campaign and attempting to get votes for him. And now she’s ratting out Tiff and Azah for considering it even though she’s the one who planned it and Azah was the one who shut her down.”

Another fan replied, “Seems like she’s trying to get a better spot within the CO by throwing Tiff and Azah utb. This cast isn’t very loose lipped so I can see it work in her favour.”

Fans are starting to compare her to Nicole. “If Hannah wanted to be ratcole so much at least she should make sure they [sic] guys are 100% riding for her,” one person wrote.

“She’s playing the Nicole/Andy game now but not nearly as good,” someone else wrote. “Nicole at least won comps at times. Obviously this save DX campaign was a ruse to throw Tiff and Azah under the bus by making it seem that they thought of it. I think showmance shippers are projecting their own sadness onto Hannah but I haven’t really seen that from her at all. Remember one of the three words she used to describe herself was ‘calculating’.”

People are also starting to get nervous about Hannah’s game. Tiffany is her closest ally in The Cookout, but will that change? One person wrote, “not hannah telling ky that tiff and azah are flipping their votes. if ky brings this back to tiff.. tiff is gonna be sketched out by hannah lmao.”

The strategy could possibly work for Hannah, given the men of The Cookout have their own alliance to be a final three. She might be able to find a crack in there and take one of them out. But it looks like fans aren’t happy with this kind of gameplay even though it has worked for Franzel, who won Big Brother 18.
