To clarify, Britini is the pawn, but that could certainly change should Brent be pulled from the block.
That probably wouldn’t happen if Azah was on the block against Whitney, so it seemed like Azah was trying to hold Xavier to his word on keeping loyal while still saving her teammate Britini in the process.
After all, Azah is aware that the Aces are secretly in on the plan to get their teammate Brent out so, while those in the house are saying Whitney Williams would be the nomination option if Brent were to come down, Xavier would probably sooner protect Whitney over Britini.
