Nominations.

[lakewood27]

Rachel was unintentionally hilarious tonight. Her dry crying in her last DR made me laugh out loud, as did her catfight with Ragan. She is going to be a real treat until Thursday.

[mojoween]

Matt. Seriously. Put a frickin' shirt on. He must have worn that nasty sweatshirt jacket for three days straight.

[GustavMahler]

Dear God, did Rachel ACTUALLY say " I need more botox ?" .. glorious.

Rachel knew her time was coming, why is she so despondent like it is such a shock?

Could Bren POSSIBLY be any stupider for someone so allegedly book smart?

Brit and crew going bananas silly pretending to be the people pretending to be gaga over Matt's HOH stuff ( namely Rachel ) was HILARIOUS.

I know a lot of watchers are not into this season, but I just think it keeps getting better and more OMG-hilarious.

I am totally shocked Ragan took the Sab. offer, but after how bananas he went over Rachel calling him and Matt as a possible alliance, maybe there's a side to him we haven't seen yet...

[dramawitch]

Gag. I don't like the Brigade and their intense power tripping. I also don't think Hayden understands that only ONE person will leave on Thursday. He did this last time too...we need to get Rachel and Brendan out this week. Um...not going to happen. I pretty much am down to liking Britney which is crazy because I couldn't stand her at first. I really don't mind Rachel so much and I loved her apology to Ragan. I'm sorry...I'm such a bitch. That sounds like an apology I would make.

[Dolphincorn]

After Kristen planted the seed of the Brigade alliance in everyone's head, Mensa Matt puts Kathy, Ragan and Britney's keys in the box first. RED FLAG you morons! He's in an alliance already and the three of you are too stupid to have formed one yet.

Not to mention his description of the argument Rachel and Ragan had in front of him. "I just kind of chilled there with my hand down my pants, relaxing…"

Keep it classy, Matt.

[CK17]

Oh Brenda. Man up dude. You really wanted reassurances for doing a good job when you went out 3rd?

Why not tell them that the new HoH is going to be given a power or even something cryptic like Julie saying "Houseguests this is a HoH you don't want to lose, trust me." Then maybe we'll have an endurance competition go on for more than 20 minutes.

Now with Matt having the DPOV, the Brigade are guaranteed to be 4 of the final 7. That's fun.

Loved that they showed "Trapped With Brendon", but it should of been longer and had an ongoing tally.

Oh no! The saboteur, what lies are you going to tell the Hgs this time that don't do a damn thing.

[Ganymedeone]

Well, THAT was a surprise. OK, not so much. Brendan or Rachel are going to have to win POV. Chances are they will. I'll actually miss them if they don't pull it off. Otherwise, it's just the Brograde voting off the women and then fighting amongst themselves. Except for Ragan who is the 'saboteur', which I still don't get. Isn't the point of bring in the house to sabotage others' games?
So, if Rachel leaves first, will she take Brendan's balls with her?

[111228]

Like Matt(Brigade) need another ego boost. Diamond Power of Veto? Why couldn't it have been a conjugal visit with his lovely wife?

I for one will miss Rachel when she is gone. She brings the funny, intentionally or unintentionally. I love laughing AT her. Of course she will need botox, the stress of fighting for 38 days have given her wrinkles.

I used to find Britney's DRs funny but I don't anymore. There is something missing, for some reason they are not quite as funny as there were before.

[jade76]

Surprised Ragen took the sab offer.
Can't believe that HOH comp only went on for a little over an hour. What a bunch of wusses.
Is anyone thinking beyond what happens after Brendon and Racheal are gone? The Brigade has their alliance but have Kathy, Britney or Ragen given any thought to the long term?

[TWoP Howard]

Another couple of quotes which struck me funny:

Britney: "We did our job and got rid of the Saboteur the first week." Except for the part where you had no idea that Annie was the Saboteur when you voted her off, good job!

Rachel, tearily: "I fought so hard that I have to get another injection of Botox because I so many wrinkles right now."

I think that last one was supposed to make me feel sorry for her (and I am rooting a bit for Rachel), but instead it cracked me up.

[pipermaru]

I can't believe the nicknames the Brogade gave themselves. Beast! The Animal! So powerful and manly. Then a 90 pound gay guy keeps kicking their asses in the endurance comps. Once again Enzo follows a play from Natalie's strategy. Throw the comp and let your alliance drag your lazy ass to the end. I can't stand these guys.

This latest twist makes me want to quit watching.

[fashionista79]

Kathy, Britney, and Ragan seem to believe that they're set or that they have side deals with other members of the Brigade. And, Matt, with his inability to knock off the laugh-talk, made himself look so suspicious when he was trying to convince the group that all he got was the one-dollar card from Pandora's Box.

[Melina Detroit]

Surprised Ragen took the sab offer.

I wasn't surprised at all. I knew that whoever got the offer would take it, the magic words being, "America voted, and they chose you..." I don't believe that any houseguest, no matter how confident or strategic, could withstand the incredibly flattering fact that out of all the house, they alone were chosen by America to do...well, it doesn't really matter what.

Ragan said it perfectly - he didn't want to do it, knew it would probably wreck his game, but he just couldn't say no to America.

[LonePirate]

I made a speculation in the Live Thread yesterday about the Diamond Power of Veto, not knowing it had been offered and accepted to Matt as part of Pandora's Box. The Brigade didn't need any additional help in taking themselves to the final four before Pandora's Box and now they have a powerful weapon to assist them, assuming they don't win HoH this coming week. Chances are solid they won't win it since Matt can't compete but they don't need to now. Grodner and her monkeys have taken all of the suspense out of this show and it's now exceptionally boring watch the Brigade sleepwalk their way to the final four.

[JohnnyFever]

Every time I see Matt struggling to carry the nominations' wheel, with all the keys in it, I always wish that one of the men would step up and give the little fella a hand.

Not to mention his description of the argument Rachel and Ragan had in front of him. "I just kind of chilled there with my hand down my pants, relaxing…"

Keep it classy, Matt.

Don't listen to them, Matt. You keep looking for them, someday you'll find 'em!

[enigmaticdan]

Kathy, Britney, and Ragan seem to believe that they're set or that they have side deals with other members of the Brigade.

It strikes me as a similar situation to All-Stars, when everyone thought they were in Chilltown (or Chilltown was in their Legion of Doom).

[JohnnyFever]

Would you sleep soundly knowing you were being protected by Kathy?

[Breath We Drew]

Brendon freaked out for no reason on Matt. I watched the Live Feeds. and he was really calm during the whole thing, so I don't get the 2 against 1 thing Brendon was spouting.

Also Rachel drives me up a wall. She went on a power trip last week, and now the tables are turned and she bitches and cries about it. Honestly if you're going to be a bitch when you're HoH, don't go and cry when you're on the block. if you say "bring it on" and claim "it's a game." I felt bad at first watching feeds, but she is way to over dramatic for my taste.

Heh so glad they showed Trapped with Brendon.

[sweetpd7]

It's a good thing Rachel and Brendan can win HOHs and POVs, because their lack of awareness of the other HGs is mind numbing. How many times has Britney lead the gang in making fun of these two? They couldn't have been more obvious or over the top at Matt's HOH room, but neither R/B had the foggiest! Rachel did get that they were making fun of her by plugging in her extensions, but she thought it was "flattery." Puh-leeze.

I guess Matt will let on to the Brigade about his "Diamond POV." Otherwise those lard asses might actually play for HOH. TPTB guaranteed us yet another week of watching a HOH/POV where no one tries, except I guess Brendon. So he'll win, and Matt will take his noms off. Is there any way a nonmember of the Brigade can even get to the Final 4? Britney, Ragan, Kathy and Brendon are completely screwed no matter what happens. The only scenario I could come up with is infighting, but if their coasting along with no problems, why would that happen? The only slight hope I have is Britney influencing Lane to take her along to 5th. sigh.

[Dolphincorn]

Matt isn't allowed to tell anyone.

[sweetpd7]

Matt isn't allowed to tell anyone.

Well at least that's something. But he can probably influence the Brigade and tell them to let HOH go. Brendan can't win 2 weeks in a row, so if he's HOH and puts two Brigades up, Matt can use the diamond POV then. Put up Kathy, and the Brigade block vote will do it. There really is no hope!

[sofa addicted]

Matt. Seriously. Put a frickin' shirt on. He must have worn that nasty sweatshirt jacket for three days straight.

But he keeps his pecs in that shirt! Seriously, I've seen this guy shirtless and he doesn't have an impressive physique at all, but in the sweatshirt he's got as much cleavage as Rachel. I don't know what the deal is, but that ratty hoody has the power to lift and separate.

Brendon was good physically when the season started; being with Rachel seems to have sapped all his ability in that area. Guess he needed his balls to stay strong.

Ragan shouldn't feel too flattered about America choosing him to be the saboteur, look what happened to the last one. I can see why he accepted, however; he knows he's safe this week so it means he only has to get through one week without being caught and he'll get twenty grand.

I wish somebody would stomp on Enzo's stupid fedora.

[jumper sage]

I agree about Rachel. Booo hooo! Matt is so stupid? Really? He finally smartened up.

[Arcticglare]

How exactly is this diamond veto going to work? Is anyone but Matt going to know about it? Is it going to function like the CDT and just be a huge shock during the live show? Are the other houseguests going to have any idea there is some mystery power out there? I think the brigade would have been safe regardless, as nobody would nominate both of them until final 7 anyway.

I agree with the posters saying I wish Julie would have hinted that there would be a power up for grabs to the winner of this HoH. This season is kind of dull when it's the same 3 people winning every competition

[Belley]

How exactly is this diamond veto going to work?

I'm confused on how the Diamond Veto works too. So, lets say Rachel wins veto, could Matt stand up and go "Sit down bitch, I got the Diamond Veto." Does it overrule the other veto?

Rachel has almost no social intelligence. Ragan is the one guy in the house who doesn't want to stab you in the gut while you're sleeping! If there's a misunderstanding between you two, say "Sorry, that's not how I meant it." Don't argue! I hate you Rachel!

I am so, SO happy that no matter what happens Brendan or Rachel will be going home this week. Oddly, I kind of hope it's Brendan, so we can watch Rachel's mental breakdown for the next couple of weeks.

I agree with the posters saying I wish Julie would have hinted that there would be a power up for grabs to the winner of this HoH.

Julie did say on this past Thursday's show that this week's HoH would be the most powerful one ever. I know she says something to that effect every week; but I could have sworn she added "ever" this time which seemed odd to me. Now it makes sense as the HoH winner this week essentially becomes the HoH winner next week as well. The Brigade just went from having a 3 in 6 shot of being HoH (because there is no way Kathy is going to win it), to being in control regardless of who wins. This season cannot get much worse.

Since they are soliciting feedback for saboteur tasks, I think I will recommend Ragan hide something in Matt's bag so that Ragan will find the hidden DPOV and then maybe he will hide it and prevent Matt from using it.

[TWoP Howard]

The very beginning of the HoH competition was pretty funny, when Kathy volunteered to drop first and go on slop. Kathy seemed to think that she’d made some sort of deal, and the rest of the competitors were pretty amused by that, since no one had offered her any kind of a deal at all.

[mootermutt987]

Is anyone thinking beyond what happens after Brendon and Racheal are gone? The Brigade has their alliance but have Kathy, Britney or Ragen given any thought to the long term?

Kathy? No. Britney? Maybe, but who knows? Ragen? Probably, but does it really matter?

Oh, and Brendon?? Some advice: Grow a pair and lose 150 lbs PLUS 20 lbs of silicone. Then you can start connecting with some of the others, like you want to anyway, but can't because the crazy bitch won't let you. THEN maybe you'll get somewhere in this game.
