Opinion: Bribe power can't cover nominating AND renominating because of the provided example of "throwing a competition."
08/23/26 06:21 AM




According to the Bribe power card, the bribe may be offered "in exchange for an action that benefits your game;" and "must be for a gameplay move" such as "throwing a competition." We'll see how Dee words it tonight, but, from what she's said, it sounds like she bribed Yash to not nominate the 3 icons the next time he's HOH or to keep the 3 icons safe the next time he's HOH. In my mind, that covers two actions and is two gameplay moves: (1) not nominating the 3 icons at the nomination ceremony; and (2) not renominating any of the 3 icons at the veto meeting (if one of the initial nominees is saved).

My thinking for this is the provided example of "throwing a competition" as a "gameplay move." I think we'd all agree that this could cover something like Dee bribing Yash to throw the HOH competition next week. But I think we'd all agree that this could not cover Dee asking Yash to throw all the competitions next week because the card gives the example of "throwing a competition," singular. Therefore, under my reading Dee could not have bribed Yash to (1) throw all the competitions next week; or (2) not keep himself safe next week. That's because either bribe could constitute two, maybe even three gameplay moves: (1) throwing the HOH competition; (2) throwing the veto competition; and (3) throwing the Blockbuster.

The argument that Dee's bribe can cover nominations and renominations would seem to be that "nominating" is a single action/gameplay move and can cover two ceremonies. But, under this logic, "throwing" is a single action/gameplay move and could cover two/three competitions. And we know from the example on the card that "throwing" can only cover a single competition. The same goes with trying to claim that keeping the icons safe is a single action. Again, under this logic, telling Yash to not keep himself safe next week would be a single action. But, again, we know from the card that this could only cover one competition, meaning Yash couldn't be forced to throw HOH AND veto AND Blockbuster.
