Big Brother Season 23 contestant Azah Awasum may have just lost her chance at the $750,000 grand prize. The second double eviction for the summer aired this week, and it saw Azah winning her first Head of Household (HOH) competition.

Prior to the eviction, Hannah Chaddha begged for her life in the game but Azah told her that she needs to stay true to what she promised Kyland Young. Apparently, Azah told Kyland that she would not put him up because Kyland didn't put her up for eviction last week.
Azah also told Hannah that she needs to put her up alongside Xavier Prather and all she needs to do is win the Power of Veto (POV). Unfortunately, Kyland was the one that won the POV and he decided to use it on his ride or die, Xavier.
Azah put Big D Frazier up as her replacement nominee and Kyland and Xavier both voted to save him over Hannah.
Should Azah have stayed loyal to Tiffany and Hannah in Big Brother Season 23?
Since Big Brother is a number and loyalty game, Azah might have just lost her chance at bringing home the grand prize.
Prior to Tiffany Mitchell's eviction, she and Hannah spoke to Azah urging her to stay loyal to the last three women in the house. Tiffany told Azah that they need to stick together so that they would have the numbers to evict the final three men in the house.
Unfortunately, Azah decided to stay loyal to the other housemates and not to Tiffany and Hannah. Azah has always been close to Big D and she has also been very vocal about her crush on Xavier.
Since Kyland put Tiffany and Hannah up for eviction, Azah voted to send Tiffany packing. And when she had the opportunity to save the other female player in the house, she refused to do so.
Xavier or Kyland predicted to win Big Brother Season 23
Now, Azah is the only woman in the game. And even though she and the other members of the cookout made history by being the first African-American alliance to make it to the top 6, it's unlikely for her to become this season's winner.
As this week's HOH, Azah isn't qualified to compete in next week's HOH game. What she doesn't know is that Xavier and Kyland have a final two deal. So, if either one of them becomes HOH, they will put her and Big D up for eviction.
Either way, Azah and Big D's position in the game is quite similar. After all, Azah just had her first big win this week. Big D, on the other hand, has not won anything. So, taking them to the final two could either make or break Xavier and Kyland's strategy.
In Big Brother history, it has become common practice for the finalists to take a contestant that didn't do much throughout the season to ensure that they would win the grand prize. So, if this is Xavier and Kyland's strategy, they could take each other out and bring either Azah and Big D to the finale.
However, Kyland also said that he wants his Big Brother experience to be unlike any other. So, he wants to compete with only the best on finale night. If he remains true to his word, this means that Kyland would take Xavier to the finale. And the first male African-American winner would be crowned in Big Brother Season 23.
When will Big Brother Season 23 finale air?
The finale episode for Big Brother Season 23 will air on Sept. 29 on CBS. The members of the jury will also return to cast their vote on who they think is most deserving to bring home $750,000.
America's Favorite Houseguest will also bring home $25,000. Some of the frontrunners for America's Favorite Houseguest in Big Brother Season 23 include Derek Xiao, Claire Rehfuss, Britini D'Angelo, Tiffany, and Hannah.
