The Oddballs

The Oddballs were an alliance present during Big Brother 17. Originally created during the first week of the game, the Oddballs was formed under the premise that its members were considered the major outsiders in the house. While the Oddballs tried to lay low for the first several weeks, the plan had changed when Nikolas Sanders became Head of Household and Melanie Spofford was targeted because of her secret being exposed, though she ended up surviving. The Oddballs were able to get the votes to get their way, but were constantly the target of the opposing Showmance Station and its members. The alliance began to falter in the fifth week when Alexis Joyner flipped in order to target Sheldon Wallace, who she perceived as being disloyal and a potential threat. Even though Sheldon and Alexis were evicted back-to-back, Melanie and Nikolas, who had formed a final two early on, continued on while remaining major targets. Melanie would go to place eighth while Nikolas would be the last person evicted from the house.
