The drama continued in the Big Brother house tonight, but it was all Brenchal related, so instead of strategy sessions, we got shouting matches that were met with laughter, glee, and sometimes complete and utter ire. There are some cases where I would love to see a good catfight, but there are other instances where I would rather have tea on a slab of hot lava with Freddy Krueger than listen to ill-advised arguments. Tonight is one of those nights where the latter would’ve been welcomed to some extent. On to the recap…
Right after the Nomination Ceremony, Rachel storms off like the spoiled brat that she is. Brendon trails His Majesty to calm her down and annoy the living hell out of me in the process. Meanwhile, the house resumes its regularly scheduled programming of eating and being a close unit in Operation: Anti-Brenchel, which infuriates the target couple into pulling some weak ass Evil Dick moves on the house. Brendon calls Matt a “midget” and Rachel channels her inner psycho by chopping onions with a vengeance. The housemates look on, their reactions a mixed cocktail of “WTF?” and “They are so screwed.” Later on, Big Brother sets up a practice bowling game for the POV competition and everyone joins in the fun. Except Rachel, who runs off crying again. Brendon trails after His Majesty to calm her down and annoy me even more in the process. He convinces Rachel to not give up now, rejuvenating her to practice with him all night on the bowling game, while the rest of the house gets some sleep, which is the sane thing to do.
The players of the Veto competition are picked (Kathy, Enzo, and Ragan, because of his Veto ticket) and the house gets a shock when Jeff and Jordan from last season show up to host the Veto competition. The house is ecstatic to see the greatest Big Brother showmance to ever grace the screen, but I raise my eyebrow at this, because it seems that this house hates showmances, so why champion the prototype for Brenchel? Anyway, the competition goes underway and Rachel and Brendon are both eliminated early in the game and act like complete babies about it. Rachel cries profusely after she is eliminated, while Brendon throws his ball and nearly hits Jeff and Jordan in the process when he’s out the game. Britney tells Big Brother that she is embarrassed by Brendon’s behavior, but she hasn’t seen anything yet. After Brendon has his temper tantrum, it is Rachel who calms him down this time around, but she bad mouths him in the Big Brother diary room about his gaming skills. These two are so childish now that I want to call in The Baby-Sitters Club to handle them. They are being THAT basic. In the end, it is Britney who takes hold of the POV, which means that it’s a definite wrap for Brenchel.
Before, during, and after the competition, we learn what JJ (Jeff and Jordan) have been up to since they left the house. We learned that Jordan is finishing school, Jeff has a web show about him traveling the world, and that they are still happily together with Jordan still waiting on that ring from Jeff. Awww…
Now this is when things really get ridiculous. Rachel whines about Kathy getting excited when she beat Rachel during the POV competition, because in Rachel’s eyes, the action was an insensitive one due to Rachel being on the block. Yes… I am serious. Rachel’s feelings were hurt and someone has to pay. She decides to pull Kathy aside and tell the poor woman how she felt wronged and feels that she deserves an apology. Kathy quickly leaves the room, not offering an excuse, apology, or more time on the madness that is Rachel. So the argument ends up in the kitchen for everyone to hear and the house doesn’t know what the hell to say or think initially as Rachel follows Kathy around for an apology. It’s moments like this that I wish like hell that I had live feeds, because I am sure this was more ridiculous than it seemed. But then again… nah.
Ragan gets a list of tasks that America wants him to do as the Saboteur. He picks one that asks for him to turn Rachel and Brendon against each other, a task that I can’t even see the laws of physics pulling off. But Ragan is up for the challenge. He makes a Saboteur message for the house, stating that Brendon is playing a harder game than Rachel, giving everyone incentive to think Rachel is the Saboteur. While the house are debating on which part of Brenchel to send home, I doubt that this message put even a scratch on that ironclad match made in hell.
Rachel later takes one last attempt at staying in the game, which involves Britney, the Veto, and Rachel’s $5,000 prize she won during last week’s Veto competition. Britney comes flat out and says that she is not changing the nominations, but Rachel offers the money and “the world” to Britney, but our resident snark vixen does not budge, citing having a target on her back if she took the money. But I really think the target would be on Britney for saving one Rachel, rather than taking some money. When this plan fails, Brendon comes up with a masterplan to save his Queen. He will act like a complete jackass to ensure that Rachel stays in the house, while he goes packing. Idiot.
At the POV ceremony, Rachel tearfully asks for Britney’s help, which comes off a bit fake. Brendon calls himself ripping Britney to shreds in an attempt so blatant to get under Britney’s skin, she has no choice but to laugh at the absurdity of it all before putting the veto back into it’s case where it belongs this week.
So folks who do you think will be sent packing? Brendon or Rachel?
See you tomorrow night as we witness the fall of Brenchal. I will bring drinks, chips and dip!
