So true, G'man. Today's veto ceremony should be very interesting. Angela is planning to use her pov to take Tyler down from the block and replace him with Bayleigh. Bay is the target for two reasons. First they know she has the power app that will allow her to change nominations, and second, they think she is the hacker.
Haleigh is very fortunate that Bayleigh trusted Rachel last week and told her about the power app because the hacker power backfired badly. Not only did it anger the hoh who is now seeking revenge, but trying to make it appear Scottie was the hacker has driven him away from Foutte and into the loving arms of Brett and Tyler.
The actual hacker, Haleigh, and her alliance (which basically now consists of herself, Rockstar, and Fessy) are nervous. Tyler's operation "Scottie is my new best friend" has cast enough doubt that Bayleigh and Haleigh have thrown him under the bus, suggesting Angela use the veto to backdoor him.
Haleigh made several critical errors with the hacker app. First she chose to remain anonymous with her own alliance allowing the suspicion to fall on Scottie. Scottie, who is tired of being a suspect in every blindside vote, had finally had enough and has become much closer to L6. When Haleigh learned that Scottie--who she was planning to choose to play veto--promised to use it on Tyler, she instead picked Kaycee. Then, as it turned out, Scottie was chosen by luck of the draw.
That meant, in one of the most physical comps of the season, the veto players were Angela, Kaycee, Brett, Tyler, Scottie and Rockstar. Any one of the first five winning was guaranteed safety for Tyler. Had Haleigh chosen Fessy, one of the best athletes in the house, he might have won. She was probably trying to avert suspicion away from herself by choosing Kaycee but Fessy should have been the obvious choice.
That said, I don't think L6 made the best choice either when Tyler let Angela have the veto. Yes, he ends up with both a trip to Hawaii and safety but it shows the closeness of Angela and Ty's relationship which is what they've been avoiding all season. Plus, Brett was none too happy that Ty took his trip! But, just like when Sam convinced Ty to jump from the tree so she could be hoh, Angela talked him into giving her the veto. It makes no sense to me.
I'd say Haleigh is lucky they don't know she's the hacker but I don't think it would matter anyway. The main objective is to get rid of Bayleigh's power app and pinning the hacking on her, mistakenly or not, gives them an even better reason to put her on the block. I have to say I don't envy Angela today, but I guess you have to be ruthless when you're playing for half a million!
