What’s made T’Kor a successful Big Brother Player this season?

As a fan, I must say that T’Kor Clottey is one of the most intriguing houseguests to watch this season on Big Brother! With her background as a former University of Chicago student and a renowned crochet artist, she brings a unique perspective to the game.

In other words, week six of the “Big Brother” competition has come to a close, and a seemingly unnoticed craftswoman specializing in crocheting is stepping into the limelight.

In the beginning of season 26, T’Kor aimed to present an upbeat exterior, all the while leveraging her natural competitiveness as a means to advance deeply in the competition.

Let’s examine her performance up until now, and find out more about the ex-student from University of Chicago.

Who is T’Kor Clottey?

At present, T’Kor is 22 years old and boasts a diverse residential history. She’s lived in bustling cities like Chicago and Atlanta, and also spent a spell in the vibrant heart of London, England.

What’s made T’Kor a successful Big Brother Player this season?

As a sociology enthusiast at the University of Chicago, I developed a knack for crocheting that eventually led me to establish my own business. And now, following in the footsteps of beloved houseguest Da’Vonne Rogers, I find myself as T’Kor – the second contestant with an apostrophe in their name on Big Brother US. Although my fame is currently linked to reality TV, it’s not the first time my name has graced the small screen.

T’Kor’s claim to fame

Prior to appearing on this season of Big Brother, T’Kor previously appeared as a guest on The Kelly Clarkson Show. During this appearance, they talked about her crochet clothing line. In the interview, she shared how the book “For Coloured Girls” served as inspiration for starting her crochet business. This book is a collection of seven poems penned by Ntozake Shange, which depict the stories of women who experienced oppression in a society marked by racism and sexism.

In 2010, Tyler Perry directed a film adaptation of it, which featured Grammy-winning artist Janet Jackson as one of its stars. This movie went on to win the award for Outstanding Motion Picture at the 2011 NAACP Image Awards.

Yet, it’s not just her role on a multiple Daytime Emmy Award-winning series that makes T’Kor notable; she has other accomplishments as well.

The young man of 22 years is acquainted with Xander Hastings, a contestant who reached the final round on ‘Survivor’ season 41 and ended up in third place. That particular season was won by Erika Casupanan, while Deshawn Radden placed second.

Xander made an Instagram post about her in 2021.

It seems possible that she picked up some strategies on networking and climbing the social ladder from Xander, which might explain why T’Kor currently has a favorable position in the game.

T’Kor’s Business

The website of her company indicates that T’Kor Couture was established amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and the surge in calls for racial justice, particularly in support of Black Lives, during the summer of 2020. She explains that their design approach aims to convey the spirit within us, which represents our very essence.

Her company’s clothing line is carefully crafted using eco-friendly materials and a minimal inventory approach, aiming to minimize excess production and waste.

The shop appears to be temporarily shut down as it’s possible that T’Kor is engaged in trying to secure $750,000 on Big Brother.

T’Kor’s Big Brother Game

Initially, T’Kor wasn’t seen too often on the show, which is not necessarily a disadvantage in the reality TV series, Big Brother.

Though she might not be familiar to viewers who only watched the condensed TV series, her fellow contestants appear to hold strong confidence in her abilities.

She is associated with four significant groups, namely Five Points, Sixth Avenue, The Collective, and the Visionaries. Her strongest allegiances lie with Kimo and Rubina, both of whom continue to participate in the ongoing events.

As for me, I’ve got to say that T’Kor and Kimo are right at the peak of my trust pyramid, and they carry quite a bit of influence within our gaming household.

In simpler terms, Quinn clarified to Kimo that Kimo, T’kor, and then Joseph and Rubina (their positions are swapped), form the upper echelon of his trust tiers. He added that Leah does not rank higher than this group in his current assessment #BB26.

In the course of the game, T’Kor hasn’t received a nomination and has generally sided with the majority. She doesn’t seem to hold a prominent position in any alliance, yet discussions about her seldom arise.

In the sixth week, she demonstrated her competitive prowess by securing the Head of Household (HOH) title, an unexpected move considering her generally secure status.

In the game of “Big Brother,” it’s all about timing: act prematurely and risk getting kicked out, but delay too long and you might miss your chance to win the prize. Though week six isn’t necessarily a poor time to start playing, there’s no indication that T’Kor is in any danger at the moment.

During her tenure as Head of Household (HOH), it seems she was still able to find forgiveness from Tucker, who is considered the most hated housemate, just an hour after he was nominated by her.

The tension. The passion. The romance. Thank you Tucker & T’Kor #BB26

T’Kor has skillfully connected with various individuals without overly focusing on one specific housemate. This can be challenging, especially when encountering someone who feels compatible. To her advantage, she’s formed both tactical and emotionally strong connections that could potentially make it tough for others to eliminate her in the future.

By putting forward Tucker, she managed to please the house and avoid being perceived as a couple with him, all while keeping Tucker on her side. This was probably the best outcome one could expect during a Head of Household week. The fact that the house’s main target was eliminated during her tenure as HOH is a considerable achievement for her.

In the fast-paced world of Big Brother, T’Kor finds herself in a strong position. Not only does she have a significant number of allies, but she has also demonstrated her ability to win competitions. Moreover, her physical and strategic prowess serves as a formidable shield against potential threats. Given her previous fame from the fashion industry, she is likely to garner fan support, which could help her avoid being targeted by fan twists or similar surprises. However, there are still double evictions and upcoming events that might alter the game’s dynamics. As of now, T’Kor seems well-positioned to claim the prize money.
