What is a Backdoor Nomination?

Q: I have a real basic question. What does it mean to do a 'backdoor nomination'? Is that a nomination that occurs when a POV results in a substituted nomination?

Thanks,
Marc

A: To Backdoor someone in Big Brother is just what you've described, Marc, but it also implies intent. For example, if I was HoH right now, and I wanted to "backdoor" you out of the BB house, I would nominate 2 other people, pray like hell one of the three of us won the veto comp, and then slide you onto the block in place of one of the original nominees.

As well as intent, backdooring implies that the replacement nominee in question never had a chance to save themself from eviction by virtue of playing in the Power of Veto competition.
