Changes: Tom

Latest revision as of 04:51, 15 March 2020

Tom is the winner of Summer of Secrets. He was also a finalist on Kingdom of Ice, and a housemate on Code Red. Known for his entertaining confessionals, dynamic duo with Nicole, and dominant gameplay, Tom is the first ever BBUK winner, and is one of the first BBUK legends.

BBUK 2017: Summer of Secrets[]

Tom entered the house as a prime target because of his friendship/alliance with Jerry, and night one drama with Power Housemate Emily. Emily used her extra nomination points on Tom and Jerry. This landed him on the block week 1, but he survived. He was nominated again in week 4 with a penalty nomination, but otherwise remained relatively untargeted during his time in the game.

He started a #2NomSquad alliance with Nicole that began shortly before Daphne's walk and Ethan's eviction. This alliance completely controlled the game henceforth, with its primary opposition being Amy, Chanelle, Daphne, and Jerry (who didn't know of Tom's allegiance). Tom was very vocal, but involved in less drama than Nicole during Season 1, passing his nomination sets through almost every week. Nicole granted him a Pass to the Final 8 during her second stint as Power Housemate, which gave him additional leverage and safety in Hell week.

He sailed with Nicole, and their fellow alliance members, Jax and Andrea, who joined the squad after BBUSA week, to the end. Relying less on competitions than Nicole, Tom's game was primarily social, and he was completely aware of the goings-on in the house throughout the entire season. He won the season by a landslide, with only his partner-in-crime, Nicole, coming close to his winning percentage.

As the reigning BBUK champ, Tom expected to be targeted, but he quickly seized control of the game. Luck was on his side when he chose the Crown of Stone on Night 1, granting him week 1 immunity. From there, he and Nicole rebooted their #2NomSquad alliance, and roped in other housemates-- most notably, Jessica, who was motivated to throw Chanelle under the bus to work with Tom and Nicole. Logan was originally left by the wayside, and Daphne's showmance with Lorenzo made her a house target, but after Logan's return and Daphne's eviction, the trio of Tom/Nicole/Logan plus rookies, Kyle R, Jessica, and sometimes Kyle K (who played the middle) managed to clear house. This had a great deal to do with Tom's ability to maintain iron-clad control over all nominations and evictions once again, with his primary opponent being house target, Lorenzo.

Tom and Nicole clearly ran the game once again, pitting all of the rookies against each other. Tom also jumped into a showmance with Kyle K, and it got pretty steamy, and their loyalty remained until the final week, when Kyle K tried to turn on Tom. Tom, however, made finals again with Nicole (and Logan) and he placed 4th. Tom also won the Host's Choice Award for Strategic Gameplay.

BBUK 2018: Code Red[]

Tom wasted no time coming in hot to the house, getting into two showmances with Patrick and Lorenzo, and becoming an enemy of his ex, Kyle K. His secret partner for Opposites Attract was his former rival and newfound showmance, Lorenzo.

Despite having some close connections from Season 2, Tom was instantly targeted for his status as a former winner and legend, alongside Nicole. This led to Tom dramatically blowing up in the house hours before his eviction. Because week 1 was a double eviction, it made his poll even harder to survive, and he was the second casualty of the first eviction, placing 22nd.
