The game amps up big time in the Big Brother house this week and personalities are being solidified left and right. In short, I can tell who I will end up loving, hating, and wanting destroyed by season’s end.
After listening to Hayden’s whack ass excuse for putting them up for eviction, Brendon and Rachel depart into a room to discuss why Hayden chose them. Rachel is sideswiped by the whole thing, but Brendon can’t believe that Hayden would challenge him, the most competitive person in the house, which is an assumption Brendon makes of himself after two competitions, mind you. Displaying some relevance of common sense, Rachel correctly deduces that someone had to have been in Hayden’s ear to set up the nominations. Annie disagrees with this later after se joins them. Lane walks in all of a sudden to get something and decides to stay afterwards to make sure his (and the Brigade’s) name is in the clear. Enzo joins the party next and if the Brigade alliance isn’t blatant now, then I don’t think it will ever be. But Brendon makes it known that Hayden has messed up big time and he isn’t leaving without a fight.
Later, the Brigade (sans Matt) meets to discuss how their dastardly plan is in effect, but Enzo brings up that Annie might be the third wheel in the Brendon/Rachel alliance that shocks Hayden, who says he has to nip that in the bud as well. A while later, Brendon and Rachel have a few moments in the hammock together and by moments I mean we had to witness Brendon crying, which leads to Rachel giving him a little ‘loving’ to dry his tears. The houseguests get a hoot out of this, but Hayden thinks the public display of affection is just another reason why the couple has a target on their back. Hayden, how does hooking up with someone equals a big target on their backs? Hmmm?
Brendon goes to talk to Hayden later to see why he was selected for eviction, but completely goes off tangent by threatening Hayden when he wins the POV. Not if. WHEN. Then Brendon solidifies Hayden and Enzo’s fear when he mentions taking Annie to the final four with the two of them. This will come back to bite someone in the ass for sure…
The group then picks partners for the POV competition with Enzo (Hayden), Monet (Rachel), and Andrew (Brendon) being picked to partake in the competition. The Brigade then take their options and weigh out different outcomes in case one of the nominees win the POV. Enzo thinks that Kathy is a good pawn to put up against whoever is left standing, because she’s not a threat to anyone. I say he has a good point there, despite my growing urge to vomit every time he talks.
Brendon comes back to the HOH room to threaten talk to Hayden again and leaves more pissed than he was before he entered the room. Brendon retreats back to his bed, telling himself out loud that he will win the POV competition. Cue the creepy theme music, please?
The POV competition is upon us and it is a Pinata Fiesta themed spelling challenge called Cinco De Mayo, mayo as in mayonnaise. Spoiled mayonnaise, that is. The group must smash the pinatas to retrieve the letters to correctly spell out an eight letter word or more to win the competition. Besides me snickering at Enzo’s blatant mafia-type jokes, the competition was kind of disgusting boring, but in the end Brendon pulls up and wins the competition with the 13-letter word ‘understanding’. The other funny thing? Andrew’s reasoning for why he ‘threw’ the competition by misspelling ‘pasteurized’ when he technically would’ve lost the competition either way. Poor guy. He really thinks he’s smart.
Later, Matt and Enzo chill in the HOH room (which I can’t stand) and talk game. They decide to backdoor Annie because it’s a big power move that they can only pull now. They also mention that no one knows about the Brigade alliance, which I balk at. When you start hanging out in the HOH room while the HOH player is not there themselves, then technically your alliance is as blatant as a couple screwing in the middle of Wrigley Field. But alas, the two decide to get Hayden to put Annie up as the replacement.
The Brigade decides to bring in one other HG into the foray and they pick Britney, who runs right back and tells Annie after swearing she wouldn’t open her mouth to the unsuspecting girl about it. Annie confronts Hayden about this, but after she talks to him about it, Annie thinks that Britney and Monet are out to get her, mainly Britney. Hayden doesn’t do or say anything to either deflect or add to Annie’s summation.
Hayden does go to Lane to see who should they gun to get out the house: Annie or Rachel. But Lane takes a complete left turn and suggests that Hayden sets up Kathy to go home since her eviction would be drama free. Lane’s suggestion would completely defeat the purpose of the Brigade getting one of the Threesome out the house, making me think that Lane should only be the muscle in the group, because his strategic thinking skills are not up to par at all.
The Saboteur makes another appearance again, but drops a big bombshell that I didn’t see coming. Turns out that two of the houseguests are actually lifelong friends before entering the house! I know that isn’t earth shattering, but it gave Kristen some screen time tonight to remind us of her existence. So that’s a good thing right? Another thing this revelation showed us is that Andrew is a bona fide idiot, because he jumps up and announces that he doesn’t have any ties in the house due to no one else knowing about Judaism besides him… and maybe Ragan. WTF?!? The houseguests’ reactions this clown are hilarious and rightfully justified. Andrew thinks that he’s throwing everyone off their game, but he’s only sealing an early dismissal from the house for his own ass.
In the end, Brendon does use the POV to take his own behind off the block. The replacement nominee? Annie, who claimed as she sat down that “lies weave evil webs… Britney.” And the first public slap has been thrown, people!
So that was the first POV competition/ceremony of the summer, folks! Is the Brigade really that secretive of an alliance? Is Brendon really as tough as he says he is? Even though he cried when he got nominated? Is Andrew a) crazy, b) creepy, or c) both? Who do you wish would be leaving the house?

From memory you have Lane all wrong. I'm sure he suggests that Kathy go up in order to get out Rachel because he knows that if Annie get voted out the couple stay together and gun for Hayden. To me Lane was the smart one.
I know!!! That saboteur thing blew me away. Part of me is like WOW NEW TWIST and the other part was like, um crap. It's probably a lie.But it was sure a great little twist!
I've been saying it since the first episode, Kristen is the Saboteur. She didn't speak at all on Sunday night's episode, and they literally DIDN'T SHOW HER AT ALL, until the final minutes last night. Plus, look at the picture above. She's at the top of the pile. She is the Saboteur. And I think Britney and Kathy are mother and daughter. They're both form Alabama, have the same accent, and both seem pretty useless.
