‘Big Brother’ Bombshell: Michael Exposes Kyle’s ‘Racist’ Alliance Plan – Self-Eviction Ahead? [UPDATED]
Big Brother failed fans today as Michael Bruner exposed Kyle Capener‘s all-white alliance plan to two minority houseguests.
But CBS refused to show this game-changing moment on the Live Feeds (at first). Will they now refuse to air it on this week’s CBS episodes?
Big Brother Shocker: Michael Bruner Blows up Kyle Capener’s “Racist” Strategy
Weeks ago, as we reported, Kyle Capener told Michael Bruner he was scared the BIPOC houseguests were going to try for a Cookout 2.0. (i.e., an all-black alliance to control the house). The ex-Mormon theorized this based on no evidence whatsoever.
At the time, Michael listened, but did not agree with him, and kept silent. That upset some Big Brother Live Feeds watchers. They assumed Michael Bruner’s silence was complicity. Now, it seems more like a strategy.
In the BB24 house this morning, Michael revealed Kyle’s racial alliance plan to Monte Taylor and Taylor Hale in the Have Not room. But just as Monte joined the group, Paramount Plus swapped the feeds over to a snoring Matt Turner (on all 4 screens) to keep fans from hearing it.

Michael Bruner decided it was the right time to expose this twisted Big Brother gameplay. At the same time the meeting was happening, Kyle was running around the house, making plans with Terrance Higgins. So, will Terrance ditch his buddy when he hears this?
You may also recall that Kyle pushed off blame for the formation and running of the LO alliance off on Monte Taylor. That was a huge lie, but he’s been able to perpetuate it. Again targeting a person of color…
BB24 Fans Livid Over Live Feeds Blackout
While this meeting was going on and CBS/Paramount deliberately chose not to air it, fans paying for the BB Live Feeds were in an uproar online. Trending on Twitter today are #KKKyle and #StopProtectingKyle.
The feeds were up this morning as all but one houseguest (Turner) was up and roaming the house. The BBLF showed Brittany Hoopes enter the Have Not room followed by Michael Bruner. Taylor showed up next and Monte was the last to join in the Big Brother house.
As Monte walked into the Have Not room, the feeds flipped. They took all four Live Feeds cams to a snoring Turner in the HoH room. And the feeds stuck to his snores from 11:44 until 12:36. That’s 52 minutes of CBS blocking feeds.
Live Feed devotees were angry because they felt it was deliberate action taken to shield Kyle Capener. As well, Julie Chen pooh-poohed any hint that he was being racist and called it “typical game paranoia”. But he brought it up more than once on Big Brother.
The tweets above are just a couple of the deluge of criticism aimed at CBS and Paramount. They said this scrubbing of the feeds is “complicity with racism” and called it “glaring”. Another said that people of color must feel “helpless” watching this.
Michael & Brittany Tell Alyssa About Kyle’s Betrayal on Big Brother
Of interest is that after the first HN meeting broke up, the feeds returned.
Later, Alyssa came up to talk to Michael and Brittany. And Paramount/CBS was totally happy to show that conversation but not them outing Kyle’s white-alliance scheme.
Big Brother then kept cutting away from Michael, Brittany, and Alyssa selectively. The big question is this – did CBS block the feeds so they can air the footage of Michael Bruner outing Kyle Capener’s twisted plan? It seems unlikely. But we’ll have to wait and see.
On the feeds, Brittany and Michael broke down the entire eight weeks of their gameplay for Alyssa. And finally, they got around to Kyle’s white alliance chatter. They told Alyssa that Kyle Capener talked about targeting the minority houseguests more than once.
Brittany said she specifically told Kyle that his outlook seemed racist, and instead of having an a-ha moment, she said he doubled down. So, will Alyssa run right back to her Big Brother sex pal with word that his Cookout comments are now common knowledge?
Alyssa immediately distanced herself from Kyle Capener’s posturing. She said she never thought the people of color were aligning. And Alyssa also said she would never want to be part of an all-white alliance.
Alyssa Snider claims that she had no idea that her boyfriend wanted to divide the house by race. However, this video of Alyssa, proves that she was told of the plan.
Michael Bruner clarified that he wants Kyle Capener to go home this week and said he plans to talk to Turner.
UPDATE: Michael & Brittany Tell Turner – He Doesn’t Care
Michael and Brittany went to Turner, as they told Alyssa they would. They filled him in on Kyle’s all-white alliance plans. Guess how he reacted? Turner threw Taylor under the bus to them. Their words didn’t seem to make a dent.
Instead, he told the duo that Taylor came and told him that Michael and Brittany wanted to target him. So, he clearly doesn’t want to hear anything against his buddy Kyle. And instead, he tried to taint the game of a person of color. Seems tone deaf…
And another update! Turner realizes Kyle is toxic for his game but still prefers Taylor out. However, he says he’ll definitely nominate Kyle. BUT FOR THIS – Alyssa told Kyle that his white alliance talk was exposed and he freaked out. He said he had to leave Big Brother now.
He ran to the DR but they locked him out and said it wasn’t open. Then he ran to upstairs DR – same move – also locked. He ran back down and finally they let him in the DR.
Our source at BB24 says he’s in there crying and wants to self-evict but production’s trying desperately to get him to stay… He’s been in the Diary Room for well over an hour. Feeds have been up and down then kittens.
Looks like BB decided to let them show Michael’s poV reward movie. Wonder if they let all the other HGs see the movie while they deal with Kyle’s breakdown… More soon!
