Enzo Palumbo

Enzo Palumbo, a fan-favorite contestant, returned to Big Brother for its 22nd season, themed “Big Brother: All-Stars.” The season aired from August 5, 2020, to October 28, 2020, featuring 16 houseguests, all of whom were returning players from previous seasons. Enzo, known as the “Meow Meow” by fans and fellow houseguests, had first appeared on Big Brother 12, where he finished in third place.

Season 22 provided Enzo with a chance to improve upon his previous performance and use his charm and social skills to navigate the game. Enzo was known for his strong social connections, witty humor, and likeable personality, which he used to form alliances and maintain a low profile throughout the season. He entered the house with a determined mindset, ready to compete for the coveted title of “Big Brother All-Star.”

Enzo started the season by joining a large alliance called “The Committee,” which was composed of six strong players: Cody Calafiore, Memphis Garrett, Christmas Abbott, Tyler Crispen, Nicole Franzel, and Dani Briones. The alliance dominated the game, winning numerous competitions and ensuring their safety week after week. Enzo’s social game was vital in solidifying the group’s loyalty and trust, while his competition wins helped secure his place in the game.

In addition to his involvement in “The Committee,” Enzo formed several side alliances and relationships throughout the season. He worked closely with Cody Calafiore, his closest ally, in a duo known as “The Root.” Enzo’s ability to maintain strong relationships and gather information from various houseguests proved to be an essential aspect of his game.

Enzo won three Head of Household (HOH) competitions and two Power of Veto (POV) competitions, showcasing his prowess as a well-rounded player. He managed to avoid being nominated for eviction for the majority of the season, with his only nomination occurring in the final week. Enzo’s strategic and social game kept him off the radar of his fellow houseguests, allowing him to remain safe from eviction.

One of Enzo’s most notable moves came in Week 9 when he won the HOH competition. He nominated Nicole Franzel and Christmas Abbott for eviction, with the intention of backdooring Tyler Crispen. Tyler was considered a major threat to Enzo’s game, as he was a strong competitor and had numerous alliances within the house. Enzo’s plan worked, and Tyler was evicted that week.

As the game progressed, Enzo found himself in the final three alongside Cody and Nicole, who had previously worked together in a final two alliance. In the final HOH competition, Cody emerged as the winner and had the power to decide which of his fellow houseguests to take to the final two. Despite his previous alliance with Nicole, Cody chose Enzo, valuing their strong bond and loyalty throughout the game.

In the end, Enzo’s gameplay was not enough to secure him the title of Big Brother All-Star. The jury of nine evicted houseguests voted 9-0 in favor of Cody, making him the winner of Big Brother 22. Enzo finished as the runner-up, earning a prize of $50,000. Despite not winning the grand prize, Enzo’s strong social game, competition wins, and ability to navigate the complex web of alliances demonstrated his growth as a player since his first appearance on Big Brother 12. Fans and houseguests alike praised Enzo for his charm, humor, and impressive gameplay throughout the season.
