There was something else to be won at the end of the episode

Julie Chen dropped another bombshell on Big Brother 23 houseguests noting there was one more potential prize to win tonight. She noted that the winners of the HOH — which was The Jokers — had an opportunity to risk it all. They could play “double or nothing.”

Frenchie could attempt to throw two large foam dice at a table. If he got both die on the table in 45 seconds… He would be HOH this week and his entire team would be safe next week as well. Frenchie, however, made it clear he wasn’t interested in taking risks from early on. He declined the offer to try for a second week of freedom.

The episode ended with Julie Chen asking Frenchie to take a stab at the competition anyone. With just four seconds to spare, he nailed it. Realizing he could have won a second week of freedom. Viewers at home took to Twitter to admit they were not really found of Julie making Frenchie do the challenge after declining the offer. They thought it was a bit embarassing and uncalled for. Some noted they thought Frenchie was probably trying to throw the challenge on purpose so he didn’t look dumb on TV.
