Tonight’s Big Brother was all about the drama following the crowning of the HOH, the Pandora’s Box/Saboteur mess, and the search for Brendon’s lost manhood/dignity.
We pick up where we left off Thursday with the HOH competition underway and getting messier by the minute. The first to drop is Kathy, because she made a deal with everyone to be a Have Not for the week (and the “We don’t give a damn” stares and comments from the Houseguests overshadow Kathy’s noble move). Enzo drops next and the rest of the house soon turn their attention on Brendon for him to fall, and Rachel’s ‘cheerleading’ doesn’t help his game at all. It only fuels the other houseguests’ comedic fodder in the Big Brother room. Soon enough though, Brendon falls and immediately starts apologizing profusely to his Majesty, Queen Rachel, who is not amused by her subject’s failure. But she gives a good show of acting as if she did.
After Brendon falls, every consider themselves safe and starts dropping in this order: Britney, Lane, and Hayden, which left Ragan and Matt standing. I pray that Ragan holds out, because I didn’t want to see Matt in power again ever, but the Big Brother gods hate me and Ragan falls, giving Matt HOH again. Drats.
After the competition, Matt is like a shark and can smell the fear emanating from Rachel and Brendon, who are both arguing because Rachel is acting indifferent to Brendon’s apologies. This is where that search for Brendon’s dignity begins, but I doubt we will ever find it unless we want to venture in the abyss known as Rachel. Anyway…
After Matt reintroduces his HOH room (which everyone fake enjoys on purpose, including Matt), he later finds the Pandora’s Box sign on his door. After reading what the Pandora’s Box entails, Matt decides to give it a go after seeing that the prize, if he chooses to accept, is the Diamond Power of Veto. What is the Diamond Power of Veto, you ask? It’s basically the Coup D’Etat, which Jeff had last year that caused Chima’s meltdown. Luckily (unluckily?), we don’t have anyone that crazy in the house this year. This year Matt has two weeks to use the DOV and if he doesn’t, then it will become void. Also, he gets to override the nominations and replace the ones he wants up there at the last minute. Wait. If Brendon or Rachel get HOH next week and Matt pulls this move, we just might have a repeat of last year’s snafu. Big Brother, have you not learned your lesson?
Anyway, as Matt tries to concoct a lie to what the deal is, he decides to say that he opened Pandora’s Box and only got a dollar in the process, but unleashed some unknown hell into the house as a consequence. He gets this “dollar” idea from winning that dollar in the premiere episode. Of course, no one buys this bull, but Matt thinks his lie carried over. I want to call “bull” on that statement, but sadly Matt actually believes it.
While everyone figures out what Matt really won and what hell they are about to go through because of it, Ragan is called into the Diary Room where he receives his offer to be the next Saboteur. He cautiously accepts it, because America wanted him to do it, although he goes into it fearing for his game. He has to do three tasks in the time period of two weeks, and if he succeeds unscathed then he will collect $20,000. You are very welcome, Ragan.
While the Houseguests are chilling, the Saboteur makes an appearance on the screen, freaking out the Houseguests in the process. The Saboteur makes it his business to tell them that he’s back thanks to Matt and is about to make their lives a living hell. Suspicions and ire rise, while people start looking suspect when they shouldn’t be. I’m talking to you, Matt. But you could chalk Matt’s guilt to letting this menace back into the house due to his greed and arrogance, which will not sit well with everyone else, especially after that whack ass lie he gave them involving Pandora’s Box.
Earlier in the hour, Rachel had already started trying to make deals with Matt, but he toys with them like a cat with string. Later, Rachel insinuates that Ragan and Matt are a team, which Ragan quickly corrects her on. Rachel insists that they are, which pisses Ragan off to call her out on assuming things that aren’t true to the point that people feel that they are fact. They get into an argument that beckons Brendon in on the conversation, which he is so late on that it is unfathomable why he would even jump in. Matt sits back thrilled, but Rachel asks Ragan and Brendon to leave the room, where they take the argument outside. Ragan calls Brendon out on being Rachel’s (unnecessary) you know, which Brendon stupidly continues to argue against when it is as apparent as six days from Sunday. After this debacle, consider Brendon’s dignity lost somewhere to be studied by “top men”. Rachel beckons her minion to return to her and sit while they talk to Matt. They try to convince Matt of all of the disloyalty in the house and how it will be best to keep them and get rid of someone else. You know? The standard “save my ass this week” trick. Will Matt make a deal with Brenchal and grow the target on his back a couple of more inches?
Hell no. Matt puts Brenchal up in the most anti-climatic nomination ceremony ever, which gave us Brendon’s look of shock and Rachel’s comment of needing Botox. I kid you not, people.
See you guys Wednesday!
