Big Brother 24: Nicole Reveals She Asked Daniel Not To Confront Taylor

screenrant.com:

TheBig Brother 24 viewers were shocked and disgusted when Daniel Durston verbally attacked Taylor Hale after a misunderstanding between Nicole Layog and Taylor, and now Nicole revealed that she had asked Daniel not to confront Taylor, but he did anyway. During the Festie Bestie twist, Nicole paired herself with Taylor in order to use herself as a pawn to evict Taylor. At one point in the game, when Nicole was struggling with her feelings about manipulating Taylor, she was crying. Taylor, who did not know why Nicole was upset, attempted to comfort her by telling her that if she ever felt that she had to «tap out of the fight, don't even consider me.»

Although Taylor actually meant that Nicole should not push herself too hard for Taylor's sake as her Festie Bestie partner, Nicole took it to mean that Taylor was passive aggressively telling her to quit the game. She was very offended and told her final two partner Daniel about it. When an enraged Daniel confronted Taylor, he incorrectly blamed her for Paloma Aguilar's self-eviction, saying, «The thing you did to Paloma? You're trying to do to her [Nicole]? You can [expletive] right off. You don't think America's watching all that?» Nicole later called Taylor «passive aggressive» and «rude» to her face. In the end, this confrontation led to the formation of The Leftovers alliance and Daniel's mistake of backdooring Nicole from the game.
