I’m not sure what is happening, but Rachel is back in the house! She’s talking to everyone, but from what she’s said, she’s not back playing. I guess she’s there on a special visit. Julie Chen did say that Rachel might be back in the house!
*Update* from what I found on google, Rachel is back for 24 hours after Brendan opened (and is now stuck in) Pandora’s Box.
Following Brendan’s logic last time, when something bad happens to the house (Rachel returning) what good has happened to him? Has he been given a Diamond Veto too? Or some other power?
*Spoilerish Updates!*
Ragan and Rachel immediately got into a huge fight, with Ragan telling her what a horrible person she is basically. At this point, Ragan is more of a drama queen than Rachel ever was. He has been crying non-stop for days now.
Ragan the saboteur struck again, leaving a message that two people still in the house are life long friends, and it’s a guy and a girl.
If you wanna know how the veto worked out so far, I’ll put it below the jump . . . Read More »
Big Brother 12: August 12th Eviction, First Jury Member and New HOH!
Posted by Dustin on 08.12.2010 at 7:29 pm
So once again I neglected to recap Wednesday’s show, which did have a fair amount of drama. Apparently not as much as Tuesday night’s feeds. How is it every time I am out, that’s when the drama happens? Damn it!
On the show basically Jeff and Jordan returned, and they are still a couple and together. Awwww, there is hope for Brendan and Rachel . . . maybe. However Britney won the veto and failed to use it, with Brendan trying to throw himself under the bus and make the house hate him enough to send him home. Rachel was touched . . . it was the most special gift she’d been given . . . *sniff sniff*
The show tonight began with the reactions to Brendan’s speech. Britney turned on him and wanted him out. Ragan too was upset and wanted him out. Brendan’s plan to take the target off Rachel’s back worked! At first that is.
Brendan didn’t mind taking the fall for the woman who might be his wife, the mother of his kids. Rachel then cried about how special and wonderful he is.
Okay American, I’ve figured it out. Rachel and Brendan don’t care about the money anymore. They know they won’t make it to the end. They are aiming for their own reality show out of this.
Rachel talked to Britney saying that she’s sorry, she didn’t know what Brendan was going to say. Britney went off on Brendan saying he was classless, he hates women, he is a sinking ship and taking her down.
Britney tried to turn the rest of the house against Brendan this week, knowing they originally wanted Rachel out.
Ragan is also campaigning to get Brendan out. He’s become BFF’s with Matt BTW, and hiding out in the HOH room for days after the blow-up that was about to occur on air.
Rachel tried to get friendly with Britney and Ragan to get their votes and claim she didn’t know what happened, they were friends once . . . Ragan said that her behavior and the theatrics have been outrageous. He says every argument that occurs usually originates with her or about her. That unfortunately set Rachel off, and she stormed off once again feeling (and playing?) the victim.
Brendan then confronted Britney and Ragan as to what they did now. He told them they went from being her best friends to stabbing her in the back. There was a lot of bleeping going on as well. Ragan called him a Neanderthal, and when Brendan actually corrected Ragan’s pronunciation of it Britney and him lied. He vowed to win HOH and take all them cockroaches out. (There was apparently a lot more that happened, Rachel apparently also went nuts on the whole house . . . hmmm).
The rest of the Brigade realized if they get Rachel out now, Brendan will get taken out next week all on his own, he has his target. However Rachel was a strong player, so to keep her is taking a chance.
Ragan was given a new task by America. The one he chose was to create paranoia that the person voted out might not be gone and true love conquers all. This got Rachel and Brendan’s hopes up, sending Rachel off on a “me and my man” rant. Everyone else began to worry, Matt was sure Rachel or Brendan must have a special power now.
We then went to the living room to talk with the houseguests. As usual none of the questions were really entertaining. Julie congratulated them for making it to the halfway point (Big Brother actually threw them a party). She said 7 of them would become the jury to decide who would win.
We then heard from Brendan’s ex-fiancee. She claims Brendan tried to change her, so she dumped him. She said everything he’s said to Rachel, she heard a million times. The ex-fiancee’s parents make a drinking game out of watching the show, and are so thankful he didn’t marry their daughter.
Brendan and Rachel made their “save me” speeches before the big vote. They both talked about how much they loved each other. The vote then happened.
Everyone in the house voted to evict Rachel. It was a unanimous vote.
Rachel said goodbye to Brendan, and they whispered to one another. Rachel then walked out without saying goodbye to anyone else. Brendan however told them all to be ready.
When asked about things, Rachel wasn’t shocked, and said maybe she’d be moving to LA for Brendan. Rachel watched her goodbye messages. Brendan told her how she was someone that comes once in a lifetime, and he’d get revenge on everyone. Julie then told Rachel she was off to the jury house . . . . but it might not be the last she’s seen of it. Sounds to me like someone might get voted back into the house down the road!
The houseguests played the HOH game. They had to untangle the rope they were tied to from a large web. The first one to do it won HOH and picked three people to be the have-nots. Of course it’s another one where we won’t know who won for awhile. It’s not an endurance comp, just a puzzle they have to solve.
Big Brother August 8th: Matt Nominates Brachel, Ragan Accepts America’s Offer
Posted by Dustin on 08.08.2010 at 7:57 pm
Because the last HOH was endurance, much of the first half of tonights show was dedicated to showing how things turned out. Once again, it came down to Matt and Ragan. Matt was pissed that once again his entire alliance failed him and leaves him to do the dirty work. Kathy was the first down, and the only Have Not for the week . . . however she claims she did it so she seems weak and not a threat.
In the end Matt won, and Ragan let him do so because he hoped it would help him skate through again. Rachel meanwhile was not happy that Brendan yet again failed to fight for them, and she knew she and Brendan were going up.
Brendan comforted Rachel, who was clearly cold with him. She told him they would be on the block now, and she would be the one going out the door.
After getting his HOH room, Matt later found Pandora’s box. He was warned he could get something good or bad, and it could happen to him or the rest of the house. Matt was told he could gain the “Diamond Power of Veto” if he opened the box . . . . He opened the box and approached the “Diamond Power of Veto,” which allows him to save himself or anyone else, as well as name the replacement nominee. HE had to keep it a secret and had to use it at one of the next two evictions. Matt was thrilled, thinking he now totally ran the game the next two weeks.
However he soon suspected something bad would happen to the rest of the house, and he had to lie about the box. He then told them about the box and won a whole dollar. Brendan knew that if something good happened to MAtt, then something bad would happen to them. He knew Matt won something. NOBODY was believing Matt that he only got a dollar, and he knew it too.
Ragan later found the invitation to be the new Saboteur for the next two weeks. He was told he had to execute three sabotages, and if he survived the next two weeks then he would win 20K. Ragan pondered whether to take the offer or not, and eventually agreed to do it.
Ragan and Rachel ended up in some huge fight (why I don’t know, I missed it). I think Rachel accused Ragan and Matt of being in an alliance.
Rachel and Brendan talked to Matt, warning him basically that if one of them goes this week . . . not only will the other be after him, but other people in this house will too (I’m not sure why they had this reasoning).
Later the Saboteur appeared in their fuzzy video, thanking Matt for opening the box and releasing them, and their mission was to cruise to the 1/2 million while they stabbed them all in the back. Everyone was upset, and Matt came away looking worse than ever to many.
The nominations occurred and of course Matt did put up Rachel and Brendan.
I do know right after the ceremony, Rachel apparently blew up and said some things that ticked Brendan off, because she made herself a bigger target.
The veto ceremony has been played and the spoilers are up in earlier posts if you wanna know who wins it!
So the new HOH opened Pandora’s Box, which appeared in their room, only to find a dollar inside. But because they opened it, Ragan, who America voted as the new Saboteur, was given and accepted the offer.
The house guests JUST moments ago saw another video of “The Saboteur” saying they were going to stab them all in the backs and win the game. Based on the message, it does in fact seem Ragan still can win the whole shebang, not just having to get to the half-way mark like Annie had to.
If you wanna know who is on the block and who the new HOH is (and haven’t already read), make the jump!
Big Brother August 5th: 4th Eviction, Sabatouer and the New HOH
Posted by Dustin on 08.05.2010 at 7:13 pm
I didn’t post an update for last night’s “Big Brother,” basically because I wasn’t feeling it. The hamster houseguests are grating on me, especially Rachel who constantly feels the need to YELL when she’s in the diary room.
Kristen and Hayden are up for eviction, and basically everyone knows Kristen is going home. Some of the guests suspect there may be a surprise double elimination tonight, but Julie never told us that and she normally does in advance.
Brittany tried to see what Rachel would do if she used the veto, and Rachel said she’d put Lane up. Rachel however told Brittany that so she wouldn’t use the veto, but it made “The Brigade” upset and more determined to put Rachel and Brendan up.
Brittany told Hayden and Kristin she wanted to use the veto to get Kathy up, but Rachel wouldn’t play that game (duh!). Brittany basically ran her mouth all over about Rachel (but oddly in the feeds has been Rachel’s new BFF this week! Last night they were having a tub session and mud masks and making fun of everyone, including Kristin). Brittany is playing the game well.
Brittany, Matt and Ragan was making fun of Rachel in the HOH room, and Brittany had Rachel’s fake hair extensions in and posing as her. However when busted . . . Brittany said they wanted to surprise her and she caught them. Rachel wasn’t that dumb, but said she was a good sport about those things. The highest form of flattery is making fun of someone.
Kristin put it into Brittany’s head that Rachel and Kathy are going to be taken out soon, and Brittany will be the only girl in the house and the guys will get rid of her quickly. Kristen played the game well and campaigned, but “The Brigade” won’t let Hayden go.
Julie Chen went to the living room to speak to the house guests, who had potty mouth syndrome and only wanted to talk about each other’s nasty farts. Brittany said Ragan had the worst farts, and he said the worst ones come from between Brittany’s legs. Julie just shut things down right there!
We went to Kristin’s family and boyfriend here in Philadelphia (Philly!). Kristin’s boyfriend is not happy. They’ve only been together for two months, but she said she would stay true to him. He said Hayden was a 24 year old kid, while he is a 31 year old man. He said as far as he is concerned, their relationship is over.
After talking to Rachel (hahahaha, giggle, laugh, talk real loud), the live vote took place. Hayden and Kristin got to speak, neither threw each other under the bus, but dogged Rachel without naming her (no class, etc . . . .)
Enzo, Matt, Lane, Ragan, Brendan and Brittany voted to evict Kristin. Only Kathy voted to evict Hayden.
Kristin was evicted by a vote of 6 to 1. She then spoke to Julie. My extraordinary psychic powers tell me that Rachel’s goodbye message will say something along the lines of “You tried to come between me and my man!”
Kristin watched her goodbye videos. Rachel did say it! She called Kristin a bitch and don’t ever try and come between her and her man. Ragan told her she was gone because of Rachel’s insecurities, while Kathy was genuinely sorry to see her go. Hayden however told Kristin about “The Brigade,” but said he would have chosen her over them.
Kristin wasn’t shocked about “The Brigade” and sensed that something was up all along. She went out with class I have to say, even wearing her hippie unitard.
The vote for the new Sabotoer came in, and America chose Ragan! However whether he is elligable to take it depends on if he wins HOH.
The next HOH game started and it was another endurance competition. They all stood on this giant paint can (on the side hanging onto the railings) and it spun and stuff was thrown at them.
Julie made sure not to entice someone to jump quickly . . . the first to fall was the one and only have not this week! Of course we won’t know who the new HOH is for some time. i’ll update you when I know!
Big Brother: August 1st. Nominations and a New Saboteur?
Posted by Dustin on 08.01.2010 at 7:36 pm
The show began with a recap of Andrew’s eviction antics and Rachel’s HOH win.
We saw a lot of diary room sessions of everyone’s responses to Andrew’s outburst. Hayden and Kristen tried to claim Andrew was a liar while everyone, one by one, went to vote Andrew out.
We then saw more of the fight between Rachel and Kristen after Rachel’s HOH. Rachel called Kristen a floater and told her to grab a life vest. Rachel was pissed that Kristen kept targeting her in the competition, and she said she heard Hayden and Kristen making out. It became a huge fight between all of them, the two showmance couples. Everyone else sat by and watched the fight. In the end, Rachel said she would make it a priority to get Kristen out this week.
When Kathy gave Kristen and Hayden a hug, Rachel went after Kathy. She said she thought she was her friend. Kathy said she is friends with all of them, they need to try and get along.
Rachel and Kristin kept fighting with one another. Rachel said Kristin claimed she’d put them up, but in reality Kristin said they weren’t at the top of her list and she didn’t know what she’d do.
Rachel talked to Brendan and said she’s tired of people coming after them, she’s going to be the biggest bitch this week.
Hayden came to apologize to Rachel. Rachel said she was just fighting for her and Brendan this week, and Kristin was after them along with everyone else. Rachel said she’s always known about them, but they are coming after her. Hayden claimed to her that he was not here for a showmance at all, and if she put him on the block he’d accept it.
Hayden later talked to Kristin. Rachel came to apologize to Kristin, who lashed out at Rachel. She said she didn’t accept her apology, what she did was complete bull. At that moment Hayden knew that Kristin screwed them both.
Rachel got her HOH room, and of course Kristin refused to go up. Everyone was kissing up to her, especially Enzo and Britney. Rachel got the Spice World CD, some booze and other stuff. As Rachel was happy, everyone else was bitching about her in their diary room sessions. Britney said she’d rather hang herself.
Kathy felt caught in between Rachel and Kristin. Kristin said she would be staying in this house and it was on.
The houseguests had a luxury competition, which included two guests winning a chance to see the new Will Ferrell and Mark Walberg movie “The Other Guys.” In the end Enzo, Hayden and Brendan won the game.
Kathy talked to Rachel to try and stay off the block. She said she is not a floater, she’s been on the block, and she doesn’t want to be punished for supporting Kristin if she’s had a bad day. Kathy swore she wasn’t after them and she was a vote for them in the jury house.
Kristin meanwhile refused to talk to Rachel, she wouldn’t kiss the HOH’s ass. With Hayden’s pushing, she did go to see Rachel. Kristin said they both said mean things, they both don’t need to apology. Kristin said she was never coming after her and Brendan. Rachel didn’t get that impression from her at all. Rachel tells her that they were friends, that’s why this sucked. Rachel said this is a game, and she sucks at the emotional part of it. Kristin said whatever Rachel does for or against her, she will take into consideration, and she knows what that means.
Brendan talked to Rachel and told her not to fall for Kristin’s game, she has to put up Kristin. Rachel says if she puts up Kathy against her, Kathy will go home and not Kristin.
At the nominations ceremony, Rachel did indeed put Kristin and Hayden up against each other. Rachel says she fights everyday to be here, she doesn’t see them fighting. She also knows they are gunning for her and Brendan so bring it on.
The voting for the New Saboteur is still open and runs through tonight!
If you want to read what happens at the POV . . . click on!
After the POV ceremony, Rachel was pissed and in tears over yet someone else in the house turning on her. Brendan calmed her down and told her that this was their plan to keep Andrew. The rest of the house however felt this was a plan and Rachel even knew about it . . . which she didn’t.
Matt talked to Andrew, telling him that people think the whole thing was staged and he’s not after Rachel and Brendan.
Rachel felt betrayed by Brendan by not telling her about this plan. She gave him the cold shoulder and pouted while he kissed ass. When he tried to kiss her, she pulled away. He even said he loved her, yes he used the L word!
Kathy tried to sell herself to Ragan as to why she needed to be here. She says because of her cancer treatments, she is strapped for cash and needs money to pay for her son’s schooling. She then continued to sell the story with other people.
Andrew began to feel like a leper and an outcast. He ended up breaking down in a room alone. He has nobody to talk to and cried to the DR camera about how he’s just alone. Later Andrew confronted Kathy and Kristin saying not to play him like a fiddle, he doesn’t appreciate it. Kristin was furious and laid into him, saying he’s on the block and he’s not talking to her. It turned into a huge shouting match and everyone in the house listening in.
The Brigade then decided if they left Andrew in the house, everyone might want to get him out next week and they’d be safe.
Everyone gathered for the vote, and Julie talked to Enzo about his accent and how Britney has been trying to teach him the ability to pronounce words without the Jersey accent. Julie also told them that this week nobody would have to be on slop.
Matt’s wife weighed in on Matt’s lie. She didn’t like it or agree with his choice and felt it could come back to bite him in the butt. When Julie talked to Matt in private, he believed his lie was working and he has at least three votes in the jury house if he needs them.
The live vote was held, and beforehand each person got their chance to plead their case. Kathy told them all that she loves them all, and when she came in here she agreed that she would not change who she was. She says if that gets her voted out, she leaves being herself. Andrew got up and basically revealed Kristen and Hayden’s relationship, and how they are another couple that the house needs to get out, and then he told everyone the crap they talked about everyone, especially the crap Kristin has been talking about them all! Stuff like she had Ragan under her control, Enzo was an idiot, Haydan she was stringing along, and there was something about Brittany and Lane too.
Kristin wasn’t allowed a rebuttal, they had to go and vote immediately. The ENTIRE house, every one of them, voted to evict Andrew! Andrew said his goodbyes and then left. Andrew whispered to Hayden before leaving, and he told Julie he told him to get away from Kristin. Julie also informed Andrew that while the disease Matt gave his wife was real, she is fine and Matt’s lying.
Andrew watched his goodbye speeches . . . and of course Rachel was glad to see him go because nobody gets in between her and her man . . . especially not another man!
The next HOH game was played. It was a trivia game based on previous competitions, and it was a game where two houseguests compete against each other, knocking one out of the game and then the winner choosing the next two to compete.
And the new HOH ? ? ? Are you ready for this ? ? ? RACHEL!
Now a new twist . . . Pandora’s box comes back next week and America can vote someone in the house to become the new Saboteur. This time though they only get $20,000 dollars and have to survive the next two weeks. It was not mentioned if they have to bow out of the whole game as the original saboteur was supposed to. They’ll be revealed on Sunday!
PS . . .at the very end Kristin and Hayden were trying to deny their showmance, but Rachel said she too saw them making out. They got into a fight and Kristin said she already knows Rachel will put her and Hayden up. Rachel said she hadn’t made up her mind, but maybe she will!
Oh “Big Brother,” for a house full of super smart chemists and mensa members, they are all playing this game really dumb! I had a migraine last night, so I didn’t get to do a write up of the show as it was going on. This is a mini-cap, some of my thoughts, and some tidbits from the feeds for tonight’s show.
Matt had put Kathy and Andrew up. Kathy was just personal, he felt she was coming for him. Andrew . . . nobody got that one. Even the Brigade thought Matt blew it not putting Rachel and Brendan up. They were hoping to backdoor one of them, but both Rachel and Brendan got to play in the veto and Brendan won it.
At the POV ceremony, Kathy said she didn’t expect Brendan to use it on her, because then Rachel would go up. Andrew however made this silly speech about how he wanted Brendan to use it on him, but to know he would be coming after him and Rachel should he stay. He said everyone who claims they are coming for them seems to stay in the house, so maybe the strategy will work for him.
Nobody knew what to say after Matt’s speech. What we didn’t see, and probably will tonight, is that Rachel blows up at Andrew as they had been nothing but nice to him. Apparently her acting isn’t that good, and a lot of people realize this was a plan by Rachel and Brendan to try and keep Andrew in the house.
Most likely unless something huge happens, Andrew is probably out the door. If they vote Kathy out, the house is just dumb! I think many in the Brigade realize Andrew is at least a competitor, so get him out now. Kathy can be dealt with later.
Personally, I hope Brendan or Rachel win HOH tonight just because it will be hilarious to see them put Matt up and send the diabolical super genius packing. Also the HOH will probably be a trivia type game because the houseguests weren’t on too many lockdowns.
BTW, if you haven’t caught on, it’s somewhat hard without Afterdark/The Feeds . . . Matt the DSG ALWAYS has one of his hands down his pants . . . ALWAYS! Someone made a funny video and put it on youtube. . . .
Info : Please, resolve the addition below before post any new comment...
Dustin : I agree, they are gonna have to kill CJ for it to be a shock, but I don't think they will
Guest_3468 : Found army wives ending really blah, been done too many times by them especially with that character
Dustin : About to sit down and watch the Army Wives! They return June 24th, long ways away
Dustin : Gunna write a post this weekend about which shows I'm looking forward to this fall! I'll try and add in all the promo videos for each as well.
Guest_3468 : This just might put me off the show for good, can't believe it was her, Shonda sucks, crappy addison sam obsession and now this
Dustin : I have some major issues with this one, as . . . . well I'll save it for after the show with my write up
Jay : So sad!
Dustin : Well this sucks!
Dustin : No it's been said its a real and permanent death, so I don't think it's one of the people whose contracts were up in the air. I heard they all would be in positions to stay or leave by the end of the season and that's how they'd be written out if they left
Guest_4669 : I heard that Shonda wrote the finale before contracts were resigned, so I'm not sure if there will be a clear answer tonight as to who dies. I think that there will be a lot of potential victims. I know this sounds morose, but I'd like to see someone come out of the accident with long lasting injuries. With the exception of PTSD (and other mental problems) it seems like people on this show bounce back from injuries too quick.
Guest_3699 : After watching the 6 min preview I'm wondering if they aren't going to do someone stupid like the captain of the plane.
Dustin : I hate that they failed April too. So lame!
Guest_4669 : I don't want Adele to die, but I think that will be too easy. I'm still angry over April failing, but will wait to comment on your thoughts to voice that opinion. (This is the only GA board I comment on so I have been holding onto these thoughts for a few weeks ha ha.)
Dustin : Though I also think there is a possibily the plane crash is a fake out, and it's still Adele who dies
Dustin : I think Arizona or Mark is gunna kick the bucket. I am thinking it will be Arizona, as then who will Lexie have?
Guest_4669 : Hey Dustin - any predictions for the Grey's Finale?
Dustin : I'll get my Once Thoughts up tonight. Have a draft. But now I'm off to see Dark Shadows My main questions really are about the haze, and also when the heck did Regina figure out who Emma was? This episode?
Dustin : I didn't think the queen looked that happy? I'm gonna have to watch it again. I am also not certain when Regina figured out who Emma was? Was it in this episode?
Guest_1607 : Like how they ended Housewives but hated the whole ghost thing.
Dustin : I'll get thoughts on both finales up a little later.
Guest_2158 : I think the purple haze is going to bring magic to storybrooke, hence the reason Gold wanted the love potion and the Queen looked happy/devious when she saw it.
Sean : I think DH went out on a very high note. The stories coming out about Terri and her bitchiness are really piling up.
Sean : Once was great tonight and really satisfying and tied up most story lines and set the tone for next season.
Sean : I only watched Once (LUV IT) and I would have dropped Grimm if it had been on any other night but enjoy it now, the second half was very strong. I gave up (mostly) on Network shows because they have such a high mortality rate. I'll commit to Cable and Premium shows because they usually go for 3 season minimum and although a shorter season they air all the eps in a row. Besides, with network shows only doing 20 -22 thats not much more than the 13 of cable et all.
Dustin : I wanna slap Tom, even in the finale.
Dustin : Wow what do we think the Purple Haze does? Make them high lol
Dustin : Last Housewives tonight! Gunna be sad Finale Once for the year too!
CGinCA : Dustin, I too had bad luck this year on new shows to get hooked on. And a few of the shows that I tried one or two episodes and gave up on as being short lived are returning..... Not fair.
Guest_1633 : Me too on circle and GCB. I really like both of those shows.
Dustin : I'm still upset about Circle and GCB! I am glad Body of Proof is coming back though
Guest_3468 : Ringer really made it too confusing for people to stay tuned in I was surprised at The Secret Circle, I thought it would make it after it's surges at the end
Guest_3750 : So sad about Ringer and GCB!
Julie : I can't believe they cancelled Ringer! I loved that show!
Dustin : I think every new show I picked up save for Grimm and Once has gotten canceled! This SUCKS!
Dustin : A lot of people suspect Arizona, because that paves the way for Karev to take over Pedes
My main questions really are about the haze, and also when the heck did Regina figure out who Emma was? This episode?
