Big Brother 12: Friday Afternoon - Before Nominations
Good afternoon, BB Lovers! What a morning on the live feeds!
The Brigade has already begun to self destruct, with Hayden and Enzo now talking about a final 6 that includes Brendon and Kathy, and a final 4 that excludes Lane and Matt. Surprised? Enzo's ideal final four: Enzo, Hayden, Brendon and Kathy.
Brendon's got a couple of boxes to fill on our little graphic here. To that end, he has already met with Ragan and Matt up in HoH this morning.Two very different meetings, indeed. Where Ragan was just about back to being the old Ragan we all fell in love with, Matt went into HoH with the attitude and snark of someone who possesses a Diamond PoV.
Well, whaddaya know? ;)
If you missed out on the updates this morning, I strongly encourage you to read Genie's excellent Morning Report before you even take a peek at the Afternoon Update! She transcribed her little tootsies to the bone!
Speaking of Afternoon Updates...
Away we go! Join me, as we travel into the Big Brother 12 House via the Big Brother Live Feeds. If you haven't taken advantage of the 3 Day Free Trial yet, now is an excellent time to check it out, watch as the game changes minute by minute & see for yourself what the fuss is all about... and what it's like to watch the real Big Brother. If you're only watching it on tv, you're missing all the best parts, and you're settling for edits that, well, aren't quite honest.
12:56pm BBT
The HGs were expecting Have Not food, but they just got a new table instead...
12:57 - 1:28pm BBT
HoH
Britney & Brendon
They start out with a little small talk about Brendon's niece and his sister and the letter he received. Britney's showing interest. Smart girl.
Brendon: All that aside, personal stuff, I wanna apologize for all the stuff I've said. I'm sorry that I said what I did, but I hope you can understand I was completely in love with Rachel, and that's why I said what I said.
Britney: I knew what you were doing, but at the same time, I'm gonna stand up for myself.
Brendon: I can appreciate that. It was more directed at Ragan. And I'm sorry I said that stuff about Nick. That was crossing the line. I'm sorry for even putting that in your head. I'm sure he would never cheat on you in a million years.
Britney: (Crying) That hurt for me...
Brendon: You're right. That was wrong. I'm so sorry.
Britney: I'm not proud of the way I handled myself either. I embarrassed myself in front of my family and my friends.
Brendon: You were reacting.. I understand.
Britney: I never turned on Rachel. I was never not going to be there for Rachel. Getting Rachel out this week was a completely strategic move.. We all thought it was gonna be a quiz. She hasn't missed a single quiz question all season. I wanted HoH so bad. After all that went down, of course I wanted you gone last week, but the strategic move last week was Rachel, because she's a friggin stellar competitor.
The hurt feelings apologies continue...
Britney: I know you wanted me to use the PoV, butI just couldn't.
Brendon: I'm not playing this game based on what happened last week. I know you guys are have nots, and that was my emotional side.. It's funny, I came into this game alone, and now I'm alone again. At first, you really rubbed me the wrong way, and Rachel was sticking up for you the whole time... until I finally gave in. Rachel genuinely liked you. I have no ill will towards you. The hardest part was just watching her hurt, and she felt like a lot of people in the house abandoned her.
Britney: That's where everything got misconstrued.. I was closer to Matt than I was to Ragan, until Kristen left. Then Ragan and I got closer. He's an emotional guy. I'm an emotional girl. We just connect. It was not against Rachel in any way. That's why, when they were arguing, I would always ask to leave. I didn't want to be a part of the argument, and I didn't want to be forced to pick sides. But, it was never against Rachel.
Brendon: It was just hard for her, because she was so close to him, and he...
Britney: I told Rachel from the first time she asked me that I couldn't use it. I wasn't gonna string her along.
Brendon: I know. I know. The difference between you, me and Ragan, is I get over stuff really fast. I would've been out there apologizing 5 minutes later, if it wasn't for the fact that I was trying to get voted out.
Britney: Rachel was an awesome competitor.
Brendon: And so are you.
Britney: Thank you. I feel like I deserve to be here another week... It just happened to be that I won the PoV...
Brendon: Again, I apologize for my behavior to you last week. I still can't believe I was campaigning to get myself out, and I'm still here. Even with all the banging outside, people still thought it was gonna be a quiz.
Britney: I thought it was gonna be a double eviction.
Brendon: It was a very odd feeling.
Britney: Regardless of all that... If it is my last week in the house, I don't wanna be miserable and have to walk on eggshells... I want it to be civil.
Brendon: I'm sure. Next week is going to be a quiz, and everyone in the house is now afraid of you, now that Rachel's gone.
Britney: I certainly don't think I'm any better than anyone else...
Brendon: My biggest concern is making sure that whoever I keep will turn around and keep me.
Britney: Obviously, you have 3 targets in mind. You can only put 2 on the block. I want to at least have a chance to fight for PoV.
Brendon: I don't know that there are only 3 targets..
Britney: Because there are people in the house that don't compete..
Brendon: mmhmm.
Britney: I would at least appreciate the chance to fight to be able to be here.
Brendon: If I fight to keep you here this week, will I be safe if you win HoH next week?
Britney: I'm not gonna say you wont go on the block, but I will say I'm noticing quite a lot, and I'm pissed off at a lot of people here right now, for competitive reasons. Same for Rachel. She deserves to be here more than a lot of people in this house. I have to play entirely for myself. I'm not in any alliances. I haven't even been approached with any alliances. I'm disposable. People may see me as a competitive threat for the short term, but for the long term?
Talk turns to Kathy...
Brendon: I would love this game to be you, me, Matt, Rachel... Not people who've hid behind others and floated through this game. I can do the right thing, and I can do what's good for me.. But when you're the only person looking out for the group and everyone else is looking out for themselves...
Britney: Every body's playing for themselves in the end. To my mentality is, final 3.
Brendon: It also comes down to backstabbing too... If someone's backstabbing the whole way through the game, week 4, week 5, that's way too early... Again, I don't blame you for playing the way you have or doing what you've done, because this is a game.
Britney: I have been open about it, and I have been sort of on my own since Monet left... but I have also been competitive. If I am one of your targets, I'd really just appreciate the opportunity to fight.
Brendon: I just don't want to see a final 2 with floaters.(paraphrasing)
Britney: I feel like I am one of 3, and rather than be left out of it, and possibly see a backdoor, I don't want that, just as a competitor. I don't really understand how I even got on your radar, except for winning the PoV.
Brendon: You're a fierce competitor. I'd love a final 3 with you and me in it.
Britney: Play smart. Go with your instincts. You've already said it, once you're up here, people tell you what you wanna hear.
Brendon: You too. Be careful who you trust. Look out for the small details. I have no ill will towards you. Quite contrarily, I have a lot of respect for you. I know you're a tough competitor, so...
Britney: I appreciate you being honest at least. I prefer it to blowing smoke.
Brendon: I would love to trust the other people in the house who are competing hard to help me get rid of the people who aren't competing... But I can't, and you can't.. because they don't want me in the final 2, and they don't want you. They want Kathy.
Britney: Exactly.
Brendon: I'm not gonna blindside you. If I'm gonna put you up, I'll let you know. We come from different backgrounds, but I think we have a lot on common, and I'm sorry again about putting you as a have not.
Britney: Thanks, Brendon.
1:28pm BBT
Brendon goes downstairs to the kitchen for a moment. Lane heads up to the HoH Room..
1:29pm BBT
HoH
Brendon & Lane
Brendon: You don't rub me the wrong way... (but) if you had won the comp yesterday, I feel like I would've been going up. You're close with Britney...
Lane: I'm close with Britney, but not to go defend her. Frankly, I felt like she attacked you.
Lane goes with the "seconds before the live show, the vote flipped" story... Lane tells Brendon that everyone was hiding stuff around the house to try and mess them up for a quiz.
Brendon asks his standard question: If I protect you, can I count on the same protection next week? Lane never promises anything, but he will appreciate Brendon taking care of people like Britney and Ragan that Lane needs out, but because of his relationship, especially with Brit, it would be devastating to his game to put her up.
Lane: My point of view, you can definitely help my game big time. You can take out someone like Ragan, so I don't have to get his blood on my hands. Anything you do, I wont take it personal. I am friends with Britney, but...
Talk turns to last week and all the crazy drama. Brendon says it was completely out of character for him, and he was just all about trying to get voted out. They seem to bond over their shared competitive natures. Lane continually brings up Britney and Ragan's names.
Lane: Whatever decision you make, you're not gonna hurt my feeling at all. For instance, if it is Ragan and Britney, I'm definitely gonna vote with the house... and support whatever it is you want.
CUT TO:
1:40pm BBT
Kitchen area
BB: Houseguests, this is a lockdown. Please go outside and close the sliding glass door.
Ragan: This is the day Chima had her melt down.
Matt: So in honor of Chima, we're all defiantly ignoring the Diary Room.
Kathy: Think we can get us some chinese food too?
1:42pm BBT
Backyard - All but Brendon, who is in the kitchen, quickly grabbing some food.
Chatter about Chima for a minute, then on to trivialities. I'm resting my tootsies while they chat...
Britney: I'm gonna go play pool in the sun.
Lane: Walk slow over there.
Britney: Why?
***lol. dirty boy.
1:58pm BBT
Around the yard...
- Alone on the couch, Ragan digs for a little info on how Matt thinks the nominations are gonna go. Matt gives him very little, saying he doesn't feel comfortable talking out here. With this, they fall into silence.
- Enzo & Lane are poolside on the chaise lounges chatting about planes..
- Brendon's up and about watering the shoes in the yard. Kathy's collecting more dirty shoes for him to wash off.
- Britney & Hayden are playing pool.
- Feathers from the comp are still flying...
Around the yard...
- Couch - Ragan's telling Matt and Kathy about some guy he was dating around the time of his last birthday that he really wasn't into...
- Brendon's still hosing shoes.
- Enzo & Lane are still chatting on the chaise lounges adjacent to the pool. Topic: Disgusting Have Not Food Options. Enzo: Devil Dogs and Douche... Cuif and Quaker Oats...Drano and Desert Dick..
2:15pm BBT
Chaise Lounges
Enzo and Lane
Brendon steps away, enabling game talk...
Enzo: How'd it go up there?You didn't make a deal with him?
Lane: No. I just told him, you will further my game more than Britney would... I also pushed Britney - Ragan...
Enzo: Yeah, we gotta bring you back. We gotta get rid of Britney. Then after this, someone's gotta take out Brendon.
***Quite the opposite of Enzo's talking with Hayden. They've both said they want a final 4 with Brendon, them and Kathy.
This talk continues, in standard Brigade terms of making sure just one Brigade member is on the block, if any... and the constant hum of Britney and Ragan. Enzo's evictee of choice is Ragan.
Enzo: If Ragan stays, he better put up Kathy. Everyone's gonna be in the PoV next week. You think someone right in this backyard is the saboteur.
Lane: I don't know.
Enzo: Unless it was Rachel.
Lane: I think it's Rachel or BB.
Talk turns to their annoyance with Kathy... Lane can't pretend with her anymore.
Lane: She's say something and laugh every time. Then she'll throw you under the bus right after that.
***Ladies and gents, we have a winner.
2:30pm BBT
Around the yard...
- Conversation between Enzo and Lane continues and proceeds into the "we should reveal the Brigade" talk we've all grown accustomed to...
- Britney, Brendon & Hayden are chatting by the pool table about when they arrived on the lot, Annie, the pairs... Britney's telling Brendon she was sure that he and Annie were the pair, because of Annie's behavior when he hooked up with Rachel.
They all head inside...
BB: Houseguests, the lockdown is over. You are now free to move about the house.
Britney: Ok, let's see what it is. I wonder if they gave us a kind of libation.
Ragan: I have a good feeling about it.
Matt: Here we go, Have Notties.
Eggplant and Escargot!
Matt: This is not good. I'm gonna be eating slop and protein shakes.
Enzo: This is great. It might be frozen breaded eggplant.
Brendon: (reading the card) "This eggplant and escargot extravaganza is just fo ryou"
Britney: That's nasty.
Matt: Come on, America!! For real?
Britney: Disgusting.
They go to check the storage room.
Britney: Oh! Eggplant cutlets. breaded Italian style. It's a nice vegetable.
Brendon: oh you guys got hooked up. Eggplant babaganoush...
Matt: OK, America, you might be back on our good sides...
Happy Have Nots in the kitchen with the stuff from the storage room. They're all enamored of the spicy eggplant, and every single one says it smells like Chinese food. None of them know what babaganoush is...
***I would so volunteer to be a Have Not this week. Now c'mon skippy. Gimme a close up on the dining table. Thank you! Added.
Regarding the escargot...
Lane: Is that kinda like uh sushi stuff?
Brendon's the only one willing to try the escargot, as he's never tried it before.
Brendon: It almost tastes like a paint can with dirt.
Matt: How is that a delicacy?
Kathy: America hates us.
Britney and Matt enjoy some eggplant... with barbeque sauce on it.. heathens.
2:53pm BBT
BB: Britney, please come to the Diary Room.
Carolyn: BB, please get a move on with noms.
Enzo: I mean, if I win HoH, it's who ever's left out of Ragan and Britney, I put up.
Hayden: My personal opinion, we don't put Brendon up...
Enzo: You think a Brigade member would put us up though, because we didn't put up Brendon? That's f'd up. Then what you can do, if Ragan wins HoH (I think he means PoV), you're gonna have to put up Brendon, cause you can't waste an opportunity like that.
Hayden: And we tell Brendon, we're gonna backdoor Matt... but then we backdoor him..
Ragan comes out for a soak in the jacuzzi. He's sore from the comp.
Enzo: So pretty much 5 or 6 o'clock, nominations...
Hayden: Might as well go talk to him now.
***OK, so Hayden and Enzo are still on the keep Brendon train, as long as it makes sense for them and keeps them safe.
Hayden heads inside. He makes a stop in the kitchen first. Matt pops up to HoH to use the bathroom.
3pm BBT
Kitchen
Kathy, Hayden, Brendon
Kathy: What time do we usually do this?
Brendon: 5 o'clock..
3:06pm BBT
HoH
Hayden and Brendon
Hayden will not be a nom, but he is a confidant...
Brendon: If I put Britney up, she's got a good chance of winning PoV. SO we've gotta all play like we're on the block. I think it's chicken-shit to backdoor people. So at least with Britney, I feel like she's a strong competitor, but I'll give her a chance.. Now if Britney goes, we need to think about what's gonna happen with Lane. I don't know if he's gonna go back with you guys, or if he'll hook up with Matt and Ragan... From Lane's perspective, it's better to keep some of the competitive players in the game to take the focus off if him.
Hayden: I think maybe the reason Lane thinks he's safe is the 3 have nots... That's what everybody down there thinks is gonna happen.
Brendon: Yeah.
Hayden: So if Britney goes home...
Brendon: I don't think anyone would use the PoV on Britney...
Hayden: I do see, if Ragan's on the block and Matt wins PoV, he's gonna pull Ragan off.
Brendon: I just don't want anybody furious with me.
Hayden: They already are..
Brendon: That's why it's important we win PoV...
Hayden: The house still thinks I'm against you, which is a good thing, and we need to keep it that way.
Brendon: Absolutely.
Hayden: I did hear a conversation between Ragan and Britney saying Enzo didn't try in the comp yesterday.
Brendon: Which is very possible...
BB: Enzo, please come to the DR.
Brendon: I know you're on the same page with me. The small players are gonna try to take out the big players...
Talk turns to Lane...
Hayden: For one, Lane is smarter than he lets people see.
Brendon: I can see that... But in this game, to pull off a last minute hat trick... it's hard. There might be a good chance that... So Britney goes up. We have to win PoV. Cuz she comes down, she's gunning for me. And the 3rd person who goes up.. I don't know how serious Enzo is... and the time for being an idle player is done.
Hayden: I think Lane is smart enough to understand who he needs to align himself with. So maybe you can pull him in... In a perfect world, Britney goes home this week. And Enzo wins PoV. So next week, in a perfect world, I win PoV... then next week, Matt and Ragan, straight up together, so one of em goes home.
Brendon: I basically have 3 choices: Matt/Ragan.. Ragan/Britney.. Britney/Lane.. but obviously we don't want Lane to go. I don't wanna backdoor Britney. But at this point, I wouldn't feel bad backdooring Matt or Ragan, especially Ragan for hiding behind Matt.
Hayden: At this point, I wouldn't put someone up there who you don't want to go home, like Lane. If you think there's a chance we could pull Lane away from Matt and Ragan, if you put him on the block, that's not gonna happen.
Brendon: He's not trustable.. He's the saboteur. I'd rather have Lane upset with me, going into the competition, than Matt or Ragan... I really just don't wanna backdoor anyone.
Brendon is really leaning towards putting Lane on the block, because he's never been there, and he "needs to be shaken up a little bit."
Brendon: Either I put up Matt and Ragan or I put up Britney and Lane. I have to put up a pair against each other, so worst case scenario, I have to put up someone who's not going home. At this point, I'd rather put up Lane and Britney, because the next comp should be a quiz, and I don't feel he's a threat there, even if he's pissed, even after I've told him he's not the target at all. I think I take less of a risk with him on the block, because the chances of him winning are less.
Hayden: So worst case scenario, Britney wins PoV, she comes off, do you put up Ragan or Matt?
Brendon: I don't know. If Britney comes off, she's guaranteed to vote for Lane.
Brendon's making my head spin with all of his possibilities... His favorite scenario is definitely Lane and Britney. Didn't see that coming. Hayden's doing what he can to subtly talk him out of it. Brendon is stuck on the idea of Lane being the saboteur.
3:34pm BBT - This conversation between Hayden and Brendon is ongoing on feeds 1 and 2... Hand Cramp!
3:38pm BBT
BB: Lane to DR
Brendon: F'in Lane goes a lot to the DR too... I know I can't base it on that though..
3:40pm BBT cont'd...
Cams 1/2
Brendon: It's gonna be hard to get to final 2 together.
Hayden: We just can't be on the block next to each other.
Brendon: We can't f'in trust anybody.
Hayden: Next week, I win HoH, Matt and Ragan go up. They're gonna know I'm not against you, so the following week, you have to win HoH.
Brendon: Blame it on the house. They're the last pair. That's not a hard thing to work around. They've been together for ever.
Hayden: Alright, so.. Lane/Britney or Matt/Ragan?
Brendon: I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with Lane/Britney.
Hayden: If I were you, I would flat out tell him he's not going home, even if it means backdooring someone else.
3:49pm BBT
BB: Brendon, please go to the Diary Room.
Brendon: Already? Isn't this early?
Hayden: One time it was like 2:30...
Brendon: Hey call Enzo for me real quick. I'm gonna change before I go in there.
Enzo to HoH
Enzo: Yo! Do you gotta go?
Brendon: I don't know..
Enzo: Cuz I don't even see Nominations on in the Living Room...
BB: Brendon, please come to the Diary Room.
Brendon and Enzo head downstairs... Brendon stops in the bathroom, and tells Kathy he doesn't think it's happening yet (**Damn!), because it doesn't say noms on the screen yet.
3:52pm BBT
Brendon enters the DR. I'm looking for Hayden to see if he goes to give Lane the heads up.
Around the house...
- Matt and Britney are laying on towels in the backyard, chatting and laughing.
- Kathy's just gone in to Jumanji to lie down.
- Brendon's in the DR.
- Enzo is sitting next to the jacuzzi..
Aha!
3:55pm BBT
Jacuzzi
Hayden, Lane and Enzo
Hayden has gone immediately to give Lane the heads up.
Enzo: That's f'd up. He's gotta go.
Lane: I don't think he's gonna put me and Britney up.
Hayden: That's what he said. Either you and Britney or Matt and Ragan.
Lane: I hope he does. I'm gonna frikkin snap!
Hayden continues to explain Brendon's reasoning, and says he's almost positive that if Britney wins PoV, Brendon will put Ragan up and the replacement nom.
Hayden: You have to act surprised.
Lane: Oh yeah. Of course.
***The more I think about it, the more I love this scenario, purely for dramatic potential. Lane & Britney go up. Britney wins PoV. Matt goes up as the ReNom. Against Lane, Matt cannot guarantee his own survival, so he DV's himself off and replaces himself with the only available non-Brigade options left: Kathy or Ragan. Since Ragan's his side alliance, there goes Kathy.
4:11pm BBT - Bubbles... tiny bubbles... noms, please... pretty please... Nope!
4:14pm BBT
Living Room
ALL
The HGs just got another message from the saboteur, telling them "You still haven't gotten the couple out. It's a guy and a girl" They all say it's the stupidest message yet, and they don't believe it. To me, it seems a pretty clear attempt by Ragan to make sure Lane and Britney go up.
There's quite a lot of chatter, but Matt sums it up best.Matt: This guy's just swing and a miss every time... I mean, we've directly negated every message. Everything he says, we completely butt heads with and disprove. It's probably 2 lifelong enemies, because everything's the exact opposite. The saboteur is only gonna effect the house as much as we let him.
***3 gold stars for Matt.
4:22pm BBT
BB: Matt, please come to the DR.
Matt: Way to implicate me, BB. Every single time, right after the Saboteur message.
All: (laughter)
Enzo: I think it's BB, and that just solidified it.
Ragan: I think it's BS.
Talk turns to Andrew and Jews.
Britney: I don't think there are any Jewish people in Arkansas.
Kathy: I don't either.
Britney: I've never met any.
Back to the Saboteur.
Ragan: I just think it's weird it's only been videos, no pranks.
Britney: Yeah...
4:29pm BBT
Living Room
Kathy: Nominations Today is up.
Britney: Did it just go up?
Kathy: Yeah.
Brendon: That's how it happened last time too.
Carolyn imitates BB voice: Brendon, please go to the DR.
***No one takes the bait. Darn it!
CUT TO:
4:32pm BBT
HoH Room
Matt & Brendon
Brendon: If I don't put you up or backdoor you, I would hope that you'd do the same for me next week.
Matt: Oh I'm off backdoor too? How's that work? It just does.
Brendon: I want you to win PoV though... Maybe I'm stupid for doing this, but I wanna keep you in this game.. Maybe I'm stupid for doing this (**yes), but you've got blood on your hands... I think I can trust you and Ragan, and I don't want to backdoor either one of you, but I want you guys to win that PoV.
Matt: So, that being the case, am I allowed to know who the person you're targeting is?
Brendon: I'm gonna put up Lane and Britney.
Matt: And then just let the house decide?
Brendon: Yeah, but I feel people will evict Britney, because she's a strong competitor. I'm gonna tell both of em. I'm gonna give Britney a chance to fight. But I need both you and Ragan to try and win.
Matt: I will, just for my own paranoia factor.
Brendon: You've been fighting to win. I appreciate you on a game play and personal level. I do want someone to win the money who can use it.
Matt: Right hand on the picture, left hand on my heart, I swear I did not get any money in Pandora's Box.
Brendon: So next week, I just really hope you or Ragan win HoH.
Talk turns to the Saboteur message... Life long friends... The message seemed to implicate Kathy and Britney again.
Matt: So have you told Ragan?
Brendon: Not yet. I honestly think you and Ragan are trustworthy people. I'm puttin gup Britney. She's a competitor, but..
Matt: She's sneaky.
Brendon: Please don't say anything to Ragan about not backdooring.
Matt: Cuz you might have to do it to him.
Brendon: Yeah. You've been fighting to be here. I appreciate that.
Matt: Thanks much.
Brendon: I'm telling him the same thing you told me... I'm not putting you up, but I need you to win PoV.
Matt: Alright, man. Thank you much. I will fight hard for PoV.
Brendon asks to see Ragan, if he's out of the DR.
4:43pm BB: Brendon, please go to the Diary Room.
Bathroom
Matt & Hayden
Matt: Dude, Brendon just told me he's putting up Britney and Lane..
HoH
Brendon & Britney
Brendon gives Britney the heads up that she's going on the block against Lane, and that he fully expects she'll win PoV.
BB: Brendon, please come to the Diary Room.
4:46pm BBT
Jumanji
Britney, Ragan, Matt
Ragan: You ok?
Britney: No. I'm about to lose it.
Matt: You're the Veto Vixen. They don't call you that for nothin'. By they, I mean me.
Britney: What did he say to you?
Matt tells her what Brendon said and that he made him no reciprocal promises.
Britney: I think he wants me out. I think I'm the target.
Matt: (after a long pause) We gotta win you some vetoes.
CUT TO:
4:50pm BBT
Britney stops and talks to Enzo for a moment, then Brendon, out from a very quick DR, pulls Britney up to the HoH to cover his tracks for film. He's not supposed to tell the nominees that they're going up. Kinda blows it for the impact factor at the Nomination Ceremony there, buddy. Spanked by Production, Brendon backtracks.
Britney: I do not want to go up on the block, Brendon. I will do whatever I've got to do. My biggest thing.. I do not wanna be backdoored. I wanna stay here so frikkin' bad.
Brendon: I'm still not 100%. Imagine a case where you stayed and Lane went home.
Britney: I'm trying to get inside your head. What is your goal for this week?
Talk turns to Matt and Lane, and Britney lies and says she's said nothing to anyone.
Britney: Brendon, I just wanna be here really bad. And I will do whatever it takes to stay. There are people in this house who don't deserve to be here, and that's who I have a fire under my butt for.
Brendon: The people I'm not threatened by, I'm not worried about them winning next week.
Britney: That's why everyone keeps them here.
Brendon goes back into how much he respects her and her game, and how he would never backdoor her.
Britney: I'll tell you right now. I'm gonna reciprocate respect. At this point, anyone who goes home this week is a friend to me.
They agree that they want to see a final 2 that have fought to be in the house.
Britney: If Rachel had made it to the final 2, she would've had everybody's vote, cuz nobody fought harder... If you don't nominate me, I'm gonna play hard for that veto, and you've got someone strong on your side in the PoV comp.
Brendon says he's not sure anymore, and tells her she may well have changed his mind..
Brendon: What if I don't put you up, but Lane goes up and you win the Veto? Are you gonna want to use it on him?
Britney: I'm gonna want to, of course. But I (..I beleive she says she wouldn't, even still)
Talk turns to the final 2.
Britney: I want someone who I can sit there and say deserves it.

Hi Carolyn!!!
Oh Britney - bite me.
WOW Britney really knows how to work those tears. I don;t think it will matter tho.
Caro, I have to brag on your right hand girl Genie, cuz her transcribing skills this morning ROCKED! Well, they always do, lol :)
I almost got got... but did not. :-)
I am watching the stellar acting performance by Britney in the HoH, saying that she did not turn on Rachel etc. We all know her true feelings from the DR so we don't buy it. I wonder if Brendan is?
He is also right about the things Rachel told Brendan about Britney... not to talk bad about her. Too bad Britney does not get it or care since she does not like Rachel.
Bring on the Escargot and Eggplants... or Tofu and Turnip. I think either will disgust those Have Nots. ;-)
Hi Carolyn! Thanks for all your work here!
Hey Carolyn!!
Interesting day in the house. Hope Brendon keeps his head about him today and puts up the right people!! (My right people are Britney and Ragan with Matt the BD).
Are my ears deceiving me? I have heard Brendon apologize but don't recall that word actually coming out of Ragans or Britneys mouth.
Have a great afternoon everyone! Please be patient with comment moderation because the transcribing today has been and will be KILLER! :)
Genie - out!
ugh...I SO want Britney to stay in this game!!!!
Hi Carolyn, this is you here now isn't it? Genie if you are getting a chance to rest your poor fingers, get lots of ice and/or heat.
Is anybody else having trouble with the quickie polls, the vote button won't work for me. I can view the results but not vote, and I wanna vote, bwaaa bwaaa.
Watching Brendon I am even more convinced each of them had their game messed up because of their relationship. I saw Rachel change dramatically, not with her over the top antics but with her apologies. When Rachel was being Rachel, I loved her game play (even if I wasn't wild about her as a person). When she apologized to HG it felt phoney to me because it wasn't Rachel but it was Brendon.
Frankly all the apologies are fake, even Reagans and Britneys but they are their own fake apologies. Rachel's fake apologies were not hers they were Brendons and when she stopped playing her game and mixed it up with Brendon's game that is when I jumped off the Rachel bandwagon.
I also hope and think that Matt has a tough decision ahead. The ego in him must want to play the DPOV for America to go oooohhhh! Regardless of who is on the block, I would love to see him put it into play.
The only constant in this game for me is that every single person has lied all the time, even Rachel and Brendon lied to each other.
Cry me a river of tears brit.
Hey Genie
Just wanted to update anyone else having feed problems, I called and they said it was an on-going problem they are fixing right now and they gave me a two week extension on my contract for free.
WoW! What great timing. I just sat down at the keyboard and didn't get got with a New Top Post.
Neener Neener Carolyn!
I'm going to go into this blindly from the point of not reading TMR. I only read TOR comments from when I departed this morning. My 4 hours of sleep is over and it's a new day.
Johnny_5 my hopes re: Pandora's Box. It was in no way meant to give you hope that Briney stays. :-p~ Just Sayin'
Corey I was right then about you not posting much. As I think back I do remember you had posted once before. I never forget my BF's completely. Things just get fuzzy most of the time. As far as hot in NOLA, this has been the worst year I can remember with Extreme Heat Advisories so early in the summer and almost on a daily basis since it started. It's really taking a toll on me both mentally and physically. I know I am much bitchier this year and only part of it is the BB game.
Kent Sorry I missed saying hi to Amanda. I know I'll catch her later and any bestie of yours is a bestie of mine. Besides, I can most likely get some usable dirt on you from her. :-p
Amanda so you are the reason Kent got so close to my swamp but didn't have time to cross my border. :-p BTW, Congrats on the marriage and best of luck for a long and very happy one.
OK, that's personal greetings taken care of from what I have seen so far in today's comments. Now on to GAME.
I'm loving Brendon's sincere apology to Britney and I believe it is nothing but genuine.
I think Brendon is doing a very good interrogation. He's much better at one on one than he was when he was looked upon as a co-HoH twice with Rachael.
I hope he's seeing through her BS about not being a bitter person. We are privy to information that she has been and will continue to be according to things I heard for myself overnight.
Novella for the Day #1 is now complete.
Oh Dear!! I am worried that Brendon is believing this snow job...where are Haydon and Enzo to talk him down off the ledge?
My first laugh of the day:
Brendon to Britney-"Rachel genuinely likes you and any friend of Rachel's is a friend of mine."
It's only funny because I keep thinking of Britney's good-bye to Rachel last night. My guess is that 'genuinely liking' is the last thing Rachel is feeling towards Britney right now.
The best thing Brendan can do is get out the biggest snake. You can't align with a snake. Enzo is the biggest snake
And, of course you're rockin it too Lovely Carolyn!!!
:)
Good afternoon beautiful Genie!
I'm ascared lol....I'm LIKING Brendan! Getting rid of Rachel was the best thing that could have happened. Now we'll see some serious fun and the Brigade (although I love them) will be scrambling ...
Geez bejeez!!!!
This is the worst cast of BB history when it comes to NO ONE wants to make any deals, just a lot of talking about 'what ifs' and generalities.
I so liked it better when the HG all had multiple real deals with people and had all sorts of final 2 and final 3 and final 4 alliances. I mean any type of alliances.
Looks like a calm and boring week ahead unless Brendon does a game changing move and puts up two wild card players (from Enzo, Lane and Hayden) and/or Matt uses the DPOV.
sorry...
Right now, today, I want Brendan, Brit and Lane in final three!
Genie you are doing AMAZING on transcribing. I know those fingers are gonna need some major ice. I mean you are catching EVERY last word down to the details and man, I hope this goes without saying but we ALL appreciate you SO MUCH. This is STELLAR transcribing!!!!!!
Sidebar: I can't wait to see Brendan's plan and I think he just may be better without Rachel. Here we go!
Brendon will forever have a chip on his shoulder when it comes to Brit's back ground. As he carry's a chip on his shoulder for his own.
He really needs to get over it. He has made... and is continuing to make a good future for himself. Whether your parents give you opportunities or, you have to make your own opportunities...... Its what you do with the opportunity that matters..
He is a grown man and shouldn't act like a jealous teen ager thinking Brit came from privilege. This is the same reason he has a sore spot for her finance. They call it a green monster for a reason.
Already UPS same day delivery, fingers for all Dish Chicks.
Just sent out UPS same day delivery ears for all, too!
lane always adds so much insight when he talks game with people
FOOD SHOCKER: Quaker 100% Natural Granola has 2X the sugar (and less fiber) than a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles.
Hi Everyone :)
FYI - this is my post. ;)
Sorry for the delay in comment publishing.
Interesting that Brendon is smelling fresh wood and varnish. I think that's what he said. Now they are on lockdown outside.
Whoever he was talking to didn't smell it. Do I feel the smaller table being brought out right now? Yes.
Brendon has the nose of a bloodhound.
Now to see if I am on target with what is going on today.
Sorry again ~ Hi beautiful Caro :)
Okay gotta go cook for the family, be back soon! :)
Hi everyone!! :0) WOw.. talk about baptism by fire for the afternoon post!
Britney doesn't want her last week to be miserable and have to walk on egghells? What dies he think she did to Rachel?!
These houseguests baffle me. They seem to genuinely see nothing wrong with their horrid behavior. And when they do appear to be about to apologize for it, they make excuses and rationalize it away.
No personal responsibility, I swear.
Doesn't Brendon find it odd that Britney is genuinely concerned that she is going home and would appreciate the chance to fight, but Matt and Lane could care less.... Lane even said that he would rather be up against Britney so he wouldn't have to vote her out if thats what the house wants... Who offers themselves up like that without knowing they have the votes to back them up?!
I don't eat cereal, but if i do, i'm going with the CoCoa Pebbles!
Good Afternoon, Carolyn! :-)
Also, Brendon didn't catch that Britney said that Rachel going home was the plan all along, then after his outburst there was a moment of hesitation but all decided Rachel would be going out... then Lane said it was a last minute decision.... I hope that clicks with him soon.
Tage: With all the condiments they get (if you actually look at the list, it is surprising more people haven't figured out how to make good slop stuff) tofu would be a sloppers dream! You can fry it and could actually make really good stuff with the condiment list. As a 6 year vegetarian, I have learned to make tofu the new chicken. LOL
Carolyn, I so said your line, "This is my post" in Rachel form when she was practicing bowling. Even though they both lost that comp, it was kind of cute watching him coach her and then watching her get her confidence back.
Noticed new Rule, thanks! It was getting a little bit like walking on egg shells in here, too . . .
Does that mean we can't call you the Carobot? or Julie the Chenbot? These are terms of endearment, in no way negative . . . just positive . . .
AHHHH! Ragan is talking about FuBar! I used to do Karoake there! It was close to my condo when I lived in WeHo! Awwwww! I probably saw him there and never even knew it. lol
@ curler chick
What number did you call re feed problems. I called the tech support number and all they had me do was empty my browser history files. Feeds do switch cameras a lot faster without delay in loading but these darn bubbles are driving me nuts. I didn't pay for bubbles, I also didn't get offered a credit or extension.
Alright all.... its BB break time while its calm in the house.... Here's hoping for a GOOD act of sabotage to occur soon... or a smackdown that DOESN'T have the usual suspects at the losing end...
Mind the creatures, I won't be gone long! :-)
I so wish, he puts up lane and matt, so that matt would have to use the DPV.. if he does use it, brendon gets to play in the next hoh no!? and he gets to vote?!!!
and maybe another twist to bring rachel back!! yeyyyy !! drama!!!
well am only wishing!
Ugh, listening to Enzo, I just need to mute the feeds. Other than his funny antics late at night I can't stand him. No game play other than being social (= fake) and not causing drama. He is disrespectful towards women, he is so anti gay and hasn't and can't win a competition if his life depended on it.
And yes Enzo your wife is probably disgusted with you. Your only redeeming value is you do speak highly of your wife and daughter.
Matt please use your DPOV and put his butt on the block, thank you!!
YES!!Eggplant and Escargot! Just what I wanted them to get. I'm shocked they are happy about it though.
Well Matt isn't. He said he will stay on slop.
Escargot!!! Yummie, my favorite, never pass it up on a menu. Sauteed in butter and garlic I could eat it all day long.
Gawd I hope they don't get Eggplant Parmesan.
That would be as bad as the baby food. All the goodies, not just the jars we were expecting.
But nope. They get good stuff. Production, I'm not happy.
Hey Barbara and CurlerChick -
I had the same problem last week. I spoke to 3 CSR's, who couldn't help. (Did have me clean out my browser). A spvr also called me and couldn't help (tried the GoAssist and they couldn't connect). I also got a follow-up telephone call and 2 emails. It was decided my computer or dsl was the problem.
After I kept fooling around and restarting my computer it started working fine!!
Well it is obvious that once Brendon, Britney and Kathy are out of the house it will become a total pigstye as no one else really cleans or worries about stuff. The value of Brendon and Kathy is especially huge in the cooking and cleaning department.
Barbara
I called the tech support number starts with 1-866
not sure if I can post the whole number here but it's under customer support.
Production is really making America's Vote pretty useless this year, I'm glad I don't waste $10.00 a week voting.
BB might as well do away with the slop silliness and end the have nots regarding food. If that really is "Just for Them" and not the rest of the house, the house is the one actually being punished by not having the extra variety of foods.
I love eggplant, any way it's cooked and here in New Orleans it's cooked every way and everywhere.
Breaded eggplant cutlets!! Why not fresh eggplant that they have to actually cook!! Too easy...
What rocks do they find these people under?? Britney has traveled all over Europe and thinks snails are groooossssss. They are delicious, healthy, and cost a fortune. Matt has never eaten eggplant? I could complain a lot more, but why bother.
Matt: What are you doing America?
Well not much. But Matt would whine if our vote was for Rib Eye Steaks and Russet Potatoes.
Oh, and I have that same breaded eggplant in my freezer. It's really good baked. Super easy and yummy.
Barbara and MG
They said they have been receiving facebook, emails and calls last Thursday and since last night.
I said I didn't pay to not be able to watch and he offered the two week extension.
Holy Crap! is my Google account working now!?
*waves to the dishers*
I've been reading,but not able to post,my poor dogs have heard all my BB vents lol
@ curlerchick
Same number I called. Maybe it is because I have had the account open since I first started on live feeds about 4 years ago? I download the music and a game every month versus using ITunes so maybe since I am a permanent customer I don't rate a credit.
I was planning on canceling my account after BB is over and just getting them for BB season so maybe then they will treat me right. Thanks anyway.
Oh I admit my stupidity thinking it was going to be the table change. I really should read the blog before commenting. Glad I didn't make any bets on it.
i would so volunteer to be a have not this week!
WHY in the world do they think it's a good idea to out the Brogade. I've definitely giving them props for their game so far...side alliances, staying under the radar, kissing ass. But that would be the stupidest idea in the world. Do they think that will make the rest of the house so scared, they'll just quit? LOL
:) Hi everyone!!
Kas031, I think Hayden, Lane, Enzo and Matt are ready to reveal their alliance because they know at this point in the game they control the votes to save or evict anyone they desire.
Coming out with it would be better than being found out, and they could gloat that they were the best hidden alliance in BB History. That's all we would hear from them until September 15th.
He's sorry, she's sorry...everyone is sorry...hey, but only for a second and not really!!
Thank you for great transcribing today and everyday.
What do you think Brendon will do with nominations?
Realistically, everyone could be viewed as threats. Hayden and Lane could pull out wins in a physical comp like last night's. Brit, Ragan and Matt know the game. Floaters have a habit of getting to the end.
I don't think the personal issues are old enough to still not play a part in his decision which would leave me thinking it would be any combo of Matt, Ragan and Brit. However, he has to see through the crap Enzo and Hayden have been shoveling.
The one person that I really feel did himself no favors is Lane. Everything that Lane said goes completely against the way Brendon said he wants to play. He wants people that will compete, people that don't stab their friends in the back and he is sick of floaters and house voting.
Lane basically said I will sit back and let you guys compete and make nominations. You can put my friend up so I don't get blood on my hands. And even though Brit thinks I'm loyal to her, if the house wants her out then that's how I will vote.
I like Lane and I kind of hope he was just saying what he thought he should say. Unfortunately, I don't think it is what he should have said.
ugh to SNAILS. Just sip on melted butter and garlic and forget the rubber, slimy snail...barf!
Eggplant I wouldn't eat either if it was just fresh and I had to make anything, but I could actually get it down, not so much snails.
so noms won't be until later I take it . . . I will be leaving work soon so I will catch you all on the flip side of the coin . . .
Hello BBDishers!!
Wow you ladies are smoking today... lots to transcribe.. thanks Lessa, Genie, and Carolyn!!!
My DR session to Matt...
"Matt: Come on, America!! For real?
Matt: OK, America, you might be back on our good sides..."
Umm Matt, why ya always gotta be so danged disrespectful about America's vote. Better re-think the subject of who is on who's bad side.
Im getting tired of voting for crappy stuff and having the grocery shopper taking liberties as to making it easier for them to eat. *yeah the mean girl view* At my age these little things makes me happy.
What actual purpose do we serve in voting??? None as far as I can tell.
I've never eaten snails OR eggplant in my whole life, nor would I even be willing to try. I'm weird.
Anyone think Matt went upstairs to actually re- hide his DPOV back into the tank??
Hayden, Matt, Lane and Enzo are blowing so much smoke on Brendon.
I'd love to see him quickly discover that alliance and put two of them up. It doesn't matter which two.
The only reason I don't want to see it happen is that Matt would surely pull out his DPov, and I don't want that either.
However, I think Matt is going to do it no matter what. Gut feeling? I don't know. Even if he is not up there, for show I think he is going to pull it out and take Britney off, and then he will put up Kathy as the replacement nomination since it his sole decision to replace the nominee.
I generally try to avoid eating vegetables, but i could eat fried or roasted eggplant for a month if I had too. it'd be a slop free week if I was a havenot!
Brendon has no logic skills.
@ Jane, sad to say but voting America looks like they also live under a rock. I think they too thought eggplant and escargot would be gross.
I wonder if I'll get another chance to gloat this season?
if Brit goes this week, I might have to hope Rachel comes back, just so I can celebrate when she's evicted a second time.
If Matt uses his DV, he gets to pick who goes up...I just found that out lol
CBS:
Alison won the Diamond Power of Veto, which gives her the power to take herself off the block and decide who will be the next HouseGuest evicted.
It's annoying me that they keep using the excuse that 'they are acting different'. REALLY??? Could it be that they are just finding a comfort zone right about now?? Or that someone has said something that gives them reason to like you/hate you, wanna avoid you/wanna hang with you??? I could see if it was someone you have known for years and all of a sudden acts different, but it takes time for some people to find that comfort to be themselves. NO??
Well Rachel leaving did nothing to clear up Brendans view of house dynamics. It also didn't help him realise who's BSing him. But, he is gonna accidentally make it harder for Brit to stay. This sucks
JLUV: Eggplant is soooooooooo good! I take it and cut it in half the long way and gut it. Then I get red, green, orange and yellow peppers and sautee it in a honey teriyaki sauce and fill the eggplant with it and bake it for like 15 minutes and it is sooooooooooo good and healthy!
Brendon, Brendon, Brendon. I had so much hope for you and now you are questioning your best move on who to put up.
Carolyn said her head is spinning. So is mine. I didn't see this coming either.
Why Production, why, are you waiting so long on this Eviction Ceremony unlike last week when you called for the ceremony almost immediately after the Pandora's Box game.
Before I say something I shouldn't, I'm going to take a rather long break.
Brendon, you have just ruined any chance you might have had of staying an extra week or two.
Does Production put stupid powder in Brendon's food. He was playing so smart until he started eating.
Sparklin: Isn't it a crazy power?! I always thought the Diamond Veto also gave the person the sole vote to evict (Because that is how it was presented in BB4) but that was only because it arose in the context of the final 4 where the person not on the block decides who goes home. Now THAT would be an even crazier power!
Brendan has logic skills. They're that of a NeanderTALL, but they're there.
I'm making mistake after mistake today! Not liking Branden anymore haha!! I liked him some when he and Brit were talking but he truly isn't very bright. I can't wait until he realizes that he was played by these boys that he is calling floaters. That they floated above him and pulled his strings so that he could do their dirty work. As I am still in the throes of 'liking' him, although dimly, it sort of hurts my heart at how hurt he will be.
It seems like Branden JUMPS into relationships whole-heartedly and holy-quickly ~lol~
I wish he and Regan (sorry Lane, I love you) and Brit would come together and HONESTLY (ahhhh) tell their stories. Not going to happen though with Hayden in his ear.
Kathy is wonderful and I love her but her fence sitting doesn't cut it for winner in my books. I know some people say the same about Jordan last year, but I personally thought Jordan def. deserved to win as much as anyone last year.
I'm enthralled again with this show, but I find it amusing that even though it's Rachel that is gone, I'm missing Britney!!!
I have another question about the DV. OK Say Brendon put's Brit and Lane on the block. Ragan wins POV and saves Brit. Matt is the renom. When Matt uses the DV could he potentially put Brit back up or is she safe? Would Ragan stay safe if he used the regular POV on Brit? Could the regular veto actually keep 2 people safe? And will Lassie get help in time to save Timmy?
LOL Johnny_5
Since we're talking about noms and the DPOV.
What if Matt and Regan are the nom's, he wins the POV and he takes himself off. Brendon replace him and than he uses the DPOV to take Ragan off and replace him with say Kathy.
Can he do that, use both POV's?
Stephen Ritchie you can cook for me anytime. I'm not a vegetarian but I love all the veggies. Can't think of one I don't like. That recipe made my mouth water.
They will probably never touch the fresh eggplant since they have a freezer full of prepared dishes, but they could make so many good things.
I'd have to give them tips on how to prepare it before it's cooked though. Scooping out the seeds is one way but for fried eggplant which is one of my favorites, you peel it, slice it into rounds and soak it in salt water to remove the bitterness. Then coat with spiced flour and cornmeal mixture and fry it until the coating is brown and crispy (in very hot oil so it cooks quickly) but the eggplant doesn't turn to mush.
Now that is true Southern Cooking at it's best!
Escargot is good on Mushroom caps so I'm thinking it would be good on Eggplant too!
I'd be a have-not, maybe I will be a have-not anyway as long as I can have a glass of wine ;)
Cris - I believe Lassie will get help in time to save Timmy.. and I'm so happy to see you. Huggies!!!
Jluvs I'm surprised you have never had eggplant being the cook you are!
Its really good-eggplant parmigiana is one of my favs. Go to betty crocker for some great ways to prepare it.
I would easily skate through this week as a have not.
Apologies for my complete inability to do personal hellos this afternoon...
The HGs are keeping my fingers busy and my brain spinning!
Big Smushy Group Hug!!!
Stephen ~ Thank you. When I read it, I wished for it to be exactly as it said, but didn't take into consideration the numbers grrr!
I can only hope that Brit wins POV on her own I guess, but I wonder then, if Matt would use it on Lane and then Regan having to go up? Oh that would be a tense, tense moment ~ and I think the Brigade would then HAVE to come out!
oh FFS!
Doesn't Matt get to chose who goes up? Would Brendon be safe? Questions, Questions.
Thank you for the recipe Stephen! But like I said, I'm a weirdo who rarely tries anything new. To me, eggplant and snails are frightening...
Anyone remember Bernadette Peters in The Jerk when the snails are all over her body? LMAO!!!
Katieblue, never. I never saw eggplant growing up, my parents didn't eat it either.
Carolyn, ((((((((huggies)))))))) right back atcha!
Minimum, Brendon needs to get a promise from Britney that she won't backdoor him next week if he doesn't do it to her this week... if she can't promise him he won't be nominated at all, he needs to at least get a promise that she will give him a chance at veto if she wins HOH... Brendon isn't pushing deals enough as HOH... he needs to get people to explicitly say it... now that we are in jury-vote world, people are a tiny bit more inclined to live up to their promise.
What a blessing for Brendon that Rachel got knocked out. I think her antics were really throwing his game off, and now he is finally thinking clearly. Yes, he's missing some things (important things) but so is everyone else. And now with the Brigade beginning to implode, it looks like anyone can take this game. A few days ago I couldn't see how the game would go any way except down to the Brigade. Gotta love BB.
Eggplant..yum! Escargot...slugs with a shell! eww!
If hayden's right and Ragan would be the re-nom! What? Evil Matt skates? Oh, I found Brendan's logic as I typed the word M-a-t-t. He's scared to put up strong players cause they'll come after him. He does use neaderthal logic. Fight or flight. Fight the girls(Brit/Ragan). Run from the guys.
Johnny, where's my backup? We don't need no stinkin eggplants!
LOL!
Sparklin: I definitely hope Matt has to use it.... Ideally Ragan and Britney would go up, Kathy wins and takes Britney down and then Matt is definitely going to be the replacement nom (POSSIBLY Lane)... either way, Matt is in a very precarious situation. He either has to expose the Brigade by saving Lane which also exposes the fact that he had a power and was dishonest to the house (even though he wasn't allowed to say anything... even if he tells them that I think the house won't buy it)... and if he is on the block he either risks not using it and potentially goes home (with Enzo and Hayden playing the house as well as they are right now, they may just get rid of him) or he uses it and still looks shady......
I am hoping this week saves the season!!
LOL @ Johnny and Cris
And I can't believe I type Branden over and over again hahahahaha! My step-son, two of my nephews and my daughters boy-friend are Branden and...well, never mind hahaha
Stephen Ritchie, are we watching the same house? Someone's word is as good as they want the person asking for it to hear it. The end.
Someone's word lasts as long as it takes for them to say it. When it comes to promises to Brendon it doesn't last that long.
New Sab message - Ragan pulling out the big guns...sounds like he's trying to get Brit/Lane nominated. He'll be pleased. LOL
JLuv: LOL! I won't hold it against you, I am weird about trying certain things too.... I also like to slice eggplant really thin like cucumber slices and just very lightly brown it in a frying pan, then I layer it with marinara and cheese and bake it for a bit and make a healthy eggplant lasagna! Sooooo yummy!
This is gonna go over like a lead balloon...
Sab strikes again!! You would think they wouldn't even consider anything they say AND if they knew, that would be production giving them information that would be controversial. Regan is playing it really well though.
frankie said...
Doesn't Matt get to chose who goes up? Would Brendon be safe? Questions, Questions.
***********
That would be an incredible power...I doubt if he could put up the HOH, but I wonder if he could put up the regular Veto winner?
Ok My thoughts -
Carolyn you beat me to it!! I was writing this
"Brendon puts up Britney and Lane.
Britney wins POV and takes herself off. Brendon puts up Matt. Matt uses DPOV."
and then heard the feeds come back so I went to your post to see what I may have missed and.....
Great minds think alike.
I guess they got a new sab message!! Love how they call Matt into the DR right after...
Sorry Carolyn, no noms yet. I think we might have a saboteur message before the noms happen just so Production can confuse Brendon more than he already is.
I didn't read comments last night from Live Show but I'm sure it was talked about.
Production is really skewing things to the point of evilness this season.
WHY did AGP go with interviewing Brendon's ex-fiancée and her family rather than Brendon's own family or friends. I've never seen a spurned fiancée have anything good to say about the ex. And to throw her mother in there with it was just so not necessary.
But that's my opinion. I'm sure the majority had a good laugh over it. I wasn't in that number obviously.
Wow, Caro, you little typing diva you! :)
Okay, I'm watching the Rachel exit interview on cbs, they call her Big Red, I've never heard that before now, have you? I just don't consider the word Big for a girl a term of endearment.
lol
OMG Britney.... I don't think there are even any Jewish people in Arkansas.
I'm going to leave that at just pointing it out and not say anything else about it.
Stephen, what does it taste like, you've got me most curious! :)
MG - love it! :)
Sparklin - I believe that both the HoH and regular PoV holder are safe from the DPOV
Even though the Saboteur suggests that there are a girl/boy connection, has anyone ever considered that the lifelong friends could be Brendon and Enzo?
Jluvs :) thanks!
GayTor :) can't you wiggle your nose and make noms happen?
im in love with britney, so really hope that brendan puts ragan and matt up, and matt uses his DV and puts up hayden or enzo because i can't stand either one of them.
but the plan for him to put up britney and lane, and then have britney win POV might not work. because YES britney is good at POVs, but she can't win them all. i really hope brendan sees that he could use brit and keep her on his side.
GaYToR, if if makes you feel better, I did tweet AGP about how disappointing it was for them to show the ex and humiliate Brendon like that.
Gaytor: But my point is he is already going to put her up either way. He might as well TRY and get a deal even if he doesn't think she will live up to it... worst case is he isn't any worse off and best case is she feels she needs the jury vote or she feels guilty or whatever it may be.... Why not TRY when you already know you are a sinking ship?
JLuv: Eggplant generally or the specific dishes I have listed?
Saboteur, er Ragan please come to the diary room!!
Britney is looking so cute in her pink and white bikini and shades on her head :)
@Sparklin: See... this is my dilemma! The last time they had a diamond veto it WAS the veto for the week.. no one else had one... plus it was in the final 4... the circumstances are SO different that the same rules can't apply! Drives me crazy!
Stephen, yes in general. Like, is it crunchy, or mushy? I seriously have never held, smelled, or tasted one, EVER.
We don't need no stikking eggplant!!!!
but I will eat it behind Jluvs back instead of slop
Caro, yw :)
Carolyn, if they got a Saboteur message which I missed, and I'm really listening, on quad, then I think Noms are coming within minutes.
Didn't I just comment that a few minutes ago?
Oh Brendon, Brendon, Brendon!!!
"***The more I think about it, the more I love this scenario, purely for dramatic potential. Lane & Britney go up. Britney wins PoV. Matt goes up as the ReNom. Against Lane, Matt cannot guarantee his own survival, so he DV's himself off and replaces himself with the only available non-Brigade options left: Kathy or Ragan. Since Ragan's his side alliance, there goes Kathy."
I love you, Carolyn. Have I told you that lately? Your scenario is brilliant and at this point it is my absolute ideal. :)
What I don't understand with Brendon is why he is making a semi-deal with Matt and Ragan saying he trusts them when Rachel said to NOT trust them and trust Hayden and Enzo!!
I'm confused. Did Matt agree to the deal? I couldn't tell.
I said it earlier but that's it for me for now.
Was Brendon already talking about putting up Lane and Britney before the Saboteur message?
I'm so confused I don't know whether to scatch my butt or wind my watch.
Nominations are about to happen. I don't see any surprises. Maybe I'll take Friday night off.
i thought he wasnt allowed to say who he was nominating....
BB is truly being evil this year. Trying to spice things up? Just as Brendon says "I'm putting up you and Lane"...they are off!!! OHHHHH I'm soooo freaked out!
Well we know who is going on the block and it going to piss off people. I hope Matt tells Lane.
Easiest. 20k. Ever.
QUESTION Anybody!!!
I thought you couldn't positively tell the nominee before time that they were definitely going on the block? You could tell people they were safe but you couldn't say I am putting you up?
Any chance BB will tell Brendon he can't put Britney up?
ohhh...thank you, thank you! I guess Brendon got a smack on the wrist for telling Brit - Yikes!! I hope that means he can't put her up hahaha
I love seeing the house worried about the nominations...of course Matt doesn't have a care in the world...
I hope Brendon doesn't believe all this crap he is hearing..
Who does everyone think Brendon will put up?
I'm sorry..
Hi Carolyn,
Hi Genie,
Hi everyone...
Mutual RESPECT!! Why not an ALLIANCE!!!
Sorry for the caps but Brendon needs to get a grip....
Is Britney's talk working on Brendon, do we know? I just got home and have read the post . . . watching live feeds, was going to pay bills but remembered huge error a few weeks ago . . .
I will not pay bills while multi-tasking and watching the feeds.
Gonna catch up on the comments . . . see whatcha all are thinking . . .
Johnny, LOL! ;)
What is wrong with this crew? Didn't any of them watch prior seasons to know when your butt is on the line you make real specific promises in return for safety. True you have to hope it doesn't get voided but at least make a deal.
This nonsense of I will give you whatever you want or what do you want as opposed to here is what I will do for you in return for you protecting me. Brit should have done that this morning and she should be doing it now.

Do both, that way you are covered . . . ;D
Shouldn't it be scratch my watch and wind my butt? That sounds a little more confusing . . .
I love the dish . . . oh bubbles, noms . . . not right after Britney talks to Brendon . . .
Make that "I'm so confused I don't know whether to wind my butt or scratch my watch."
See. I can't even get that right today.
My sense of humor done up and died.
I still thinks Britney and Lane are the lifelong friends, or brother and sister, or more and something's telming me Brendon does too...perhaps by him nominating them together, he hopes to bring it all out....now that would be interesting ;)
Could somebody please tell Brendon who to nominate cause he is flip flopping around like a fish out of water and he's giving me a headache.
Wow...trivia and I HAVE no idea who is going up. Brittany is good...I think she's playing a great game when she gets her head out of the cattiness.
Was Brenden listening? Matt said
"I swear I did not get any money in Pandora's box"! Brenden, even $1 is MONEY!!!!!!
Listen to him and make him use it!!!!
That was entertaining. What, now Lane and Ragan? To my own great surprise, I would prefer that.
Gah! Brendon let Ragan and Matt get off without promising to protect him next week. I'm sorry but what a dope!
Carolyn
I forgot to give you credit about 2 months ago i decided you were right when you said, 5 years ago, There ain't no lifelong friends in the House!!!!!
PS: Hi everybody!
Stephanie from the West Coast, you said it as I realized I screwed it up and came back to say it correctly. I was on the sofa watching DVR'd TV and it hit me that I got it bassackwards.
HA!
OK.. I'm sending Brendon the Bill for this months massage expenditures. Just so we're clear.
I TRULY believe that Brendon can NOT nominate Brit now. As he left that room, even after they originally talked, his decision was still to put her up. Then after a smack from BB he decided he's changed his mind. Bull ~ he's prob. not allowed.
Either way, I'm liking Brit's chances right now!!
Say what you want about Brit she has Brendan pegged! complete coward
Matt told Andrew he was nominating him for the block in Matt's first HOH!!
Carolyns right.
Brendan was fake flip flopping cuz Production told him he had to. Brit and Lane are on the block
GaYToR, it is funny either way . . . you always have little tasty morsels that you share with us here on the dish . . .
Carolyn, who do you think Brendon will put up?
GaYToR! You without humor is a fish out of water!
Carolyn, LOL!
Yeah, I'm really confused about the HOH not being able to tell whoever that they're going on the block. What about all the pawn talk?
Stephen, 2 questions:
Was it hard to become a vegetarian?
Do you miss meat sometimes?

Hi Frankie! :)
Hi KatieBlue! :)
Hi CurlerChick! :)
I called a Britney/Lane combo to my hubby earlier today. He asked why and I told him they are 1. Really close and 2. Lane came in 2nd on the tough comp last night and Britney was too out of line with Rachel/Bren the week before. But with this crop who knows??? I don't expect any of you to believe my Monday morn. quarterback message here.
Oh, Hi to all from Sunny CA!!

CAROLYN:
Just have some food for thought for you before I go have dinner!
In Season 9, the house guests got to choose either to bring back a mystery evicted house guest or the house guest that they had just evicted (James). Julie said nearly the identicle thing that season, "You MAY be going back into the house..." Do you think thats a possibility this time?
Also, if memory serves, EVERY year they bring a house guest back, there is an endurance comp... and I am talking a big one! :-) Season 3 it was the bathtub one that went well into the night (it was Marcellas' blonde friend that came back, am blanking on her name), in Season 6 it was the hold your button down locked in a box which went for over 12 hours (Kaysar) and then in Season 9 it was the one with James swinging up in the air forever...
Just something to think about! BB sure is healthy on the endurance this year! :-)
oh no...I am so upset now...I want Ragan to go home...this is awful
Hi LadyJack! :) Nice to meet you :)
Hi Alex - I don't know man.. It wasn't working for me this morning, either.
Stephen - Nothing would make me happier than an endurance comp this week.
Oops, got so excited when I heard that I forget my manners.
Hi Carolyn and all my BB Buddies!
Okay, you guys are all smart, what is it called when you say an expression that compares things in a funny way? Not limerick.
Does my question even make sense?
LOL I had an example in my head, but of course it left when I started typing.
Ajs, what did you hear/see?
JLuvs - do you mean a metaphor?
Hi Itcmek! Haven't see ya in awhile! :)
YES! Carolyn, that's it! Thank you, my mind drew a blank and I couldn't come up with the word to save my life!
hehe
Brendon wasn't really waffling with Brit in HOH after BB smacked him for violating the rules. She clearly said she knew he wasn't supposed to tell her so he didn't really take it back.
Who would ever have thought when the day started it would end up being so exciting. Almost like the real BB is finally back and playing, we the viewer have no clue who really means what. This is so much better than the snarky stuff.
Carolyn,
I have been reading here and stuff since Evil Dick. I posted, not often though, under another name Luvmarzette. Sound familiar? Probably not. I took the long way of saying that I think we met before, ;)!
Is it a pun?
@ Jluvs
Oxymoron??
How pathetic is it that I keep listening to this freaking music just so I don't miss the second they are back lol
If I never hear this theme song again, I'll be happy haha (that's a lie, I'll be excited to hear it again next year)
Barbara, YES that too! Thank you!!!
:)
Sparklin, you're always so cute :)
Run for cover! I'm back!!! hehehe
I will be opening a new top post when the feeds come back. Consider this your heads up! :)
I was looking forward to Enzo, Hayden and Brendan taking out Matt, but now it looks like Brendan the fool again.
There is no way Brendon or anyone else can take Matt out this week. He will save himself with the DPoV. By putting Matt up and him staying up will only reveal that he had it all along and he lied. Which would be great, but Brendon doesn't know any of this :)
Ahhh thank you jluvsturtles ~ you're pretty cute yourself!
Hi Genie,
I think Brendon fell for what Matt said. IMO I would think Brendon had learned something by now, but I guess I was wrong..If he puts up Brit and Lane, I think he is concerned about the sab message..
luvsturtles...nothing new, but the way it's going Ragan looks safe and will win $20,000 for the stupidist twist in BB history...just dumb dumb dumb
Genie, I sure hope you got a good rest for those fingers and didn't ruin your manicure of yesterday. You probably have a lot of work ahead of you tonight, we will be right here with you loving every second.
And behaving ourselves of course.
Did Matt EVER say that he did NOT get a power though? He said he didn't get money, he said he didn't get anything good (which could prove true hahahah) but has anyone even asked him if he got a power from PB?
Hi jluvs -- Been lurking a lot but not commenting much (couldn't get into my google account for some reason and was too lazy to resign up).
Aren't you in Houston too?
Genie's back! Yay!!!!
Itcmek, yes darlin I'm in hot and humid Houston!
Sparklin, awww *blush*
ajs, yes! dumb dumb dumb! :)
Hiya Pam! :)There is not one person who is not gunning for him directly or indirectly right now. So, whoever he puts up, he's getting rid of a threat.
Hiya Barbara! Yep! These HGs hit the ground running from the moment they woke up today. Transcribing is gonna be FUN! lol
Wow..isn't this a long time? I am playing games on Facebook and keep forgetting to hit mute so when the sound comes on I rush over the feeds hahaha...not really amused!
Genie, you are so welcome. :) We're all in awe of the Dishchick's amazing skills!!!
Hey Genie, I didn't mean this week, I meant next week with Matt. If Brendan had stuck with Enzo and Hayden this week, I think next week they may have tried to take Matt out.
Man, on hold with a bill company, no I am not paying bills just seeing where my credit is . . . they over charged me, after I went and paid my whole bill by mistake a few weeks ago . . .
Well, bubbles for dinner???
Sparklin
You're no sillier than me having popcorn for dinner, because I know that if I go to the grocery store I'll miss the feeds coming back and I'm dying to know which way Brendon went.
Hey Genie
Aimee that's so funny ~ my hubby came in and asked 'aren't you hungry?' and I said 'yes, please make me a bowl of cereal or toast, or you have to listen to the theme song with me' hahahah ~ I got cereal :)
Brenden had my head spinning with telling everyone different tales of who hes gonna put up and why!
Maybe its taking so long cos hes sittin there not knowing which keys he wants to leave out!
((((((((((( Dishers )))))))))))
