Still hung up on the word “Brigade”

Question, did Julie tell the house guest that there were two ” Life Long Friend’s” in house ? If she did, they have not payed any attention to it as the H-G, have noe even mentioned it at all with each other. So I might be wrong that she told them !

Yay, I’m first. These people are boring. It is very hard for me to like any of them. Rachel and Britney and Monet and Andrew NEED TO ALL GO. So far this year sucks.

Judy, the “saboteur” told the HG’s about the lifelong friends in one of her videos. I agree, not much has been said about it in the house since then! I am also sick of the name brigade, how can you name your alliance something that one of your members (Lane) doesn’t even know what it means?? And yes, Rachel please put on some underwear!!!

@ Judy, It was Annie as the saboteur that said there were 2 people that knew each other before going into the house. I am totally sick of Enzo who appears to be a wannabe Mafia. In addition to his “brigade”, he gave them all nicknames and he is Meow Meow. What is up with that??? Then there is Rachel with her “expect the unexpected” and this is “reality television”. She just needs to shut up once in a while. It is sooooo annoying. I honestly don’t know how Brendan can stand her. He waits on her hand and foot and she just sucks it in and then is rude to him.

I agree….CBS gives us crap like Kristen picking zits off of Haydens back or Brittany picking her nails. The houseguests need to get a little more into the game and give us fans more to see. Has anyone heard how the ratings are this year since they changed the days around or perhaps it’s too early to tell?

hello all
i m thinking rachel is only looking for a playboy shoot after bb12

well I think someone needs to start counting the number of crotch shots from the girls on this season and have it one of the big brother questions in a HOH competition. Ladies, I know you are pretty proud of yourselves but honestly its something to make an already mediocare season of BB even less desirabe to watch. Longer dresses, panties…wow what a novel idea.

I agree that Rachel needs to put on some underware but I’m actually enjoying this season. They all seem a little crazy which keeps it interesting.

Enzo thinks he’s the leader of the BRIGADE and he is ruling everyone! Please get rid of Enzo, Britney, Monet, Andrew and Ragan. Nothing but cry babies. Why haven’t we seen who the 2 friends are? MAybe its Britney and Monet! Hate Wednesday nites for BB. Screws up my week

I,m thinking not one person in that house has a ” Brain Cell ” that connect’s together.

Here in ” Michigan ” it is also hot !!! The grass is burned & nothing is growing ! We need rain big time here. But back to bb , storyies. That’s about what it’s worth. !! It’s getting pretty bad when we start talking about ourselves & not the ” Porn Show “

WTF??? On the live feeds….ALL 4 cameras are on the porn star wannabes. Please CBS….lets us at least make the choice of what we want to watch.

So far not so good for BB…. I agree on all about Rachel. Hate Wednesday night, back to Tuesday, it needs to be apart a little bit, it makes it more exciting to watch then…….There will be regrets, first of all Brigade is an ALLIANCE!!! Not too sure how they didnt think it was. As far as Hayden Mr Hottie….he should be careful who he rubs elbows with, because 2 of them just might be buddies outside the big brother house. Blindsided in the beginning by alot of them. We need better alliances, and show some smarts in the game. For all of our brainy people in the House, start to use them. Looking forward to some excitement soon….

I have mixed feeling about this years BB ~ by now I usually have someone I really like ~ all I have is the people I really dislike~
the showmances ~ OMG ~ too much too soon ~ IDK ~
the show started off with a bang and now all the drama (which keeps me watching) is gone ~
Rachel should have put Enzo and Hayden on the block ~
hopefully they get rid of all the floaters and then it will spice up the show ~ since they will have to go after each other ~
to the BB producers ~ I say “what the hell?” or as Evil Dick would say “it is what is”

I am so disappointed with the group this year. I think we see to much of Rachel & Brendon kissing each others butts. There are other people in the house. Enzo, why would someone who wants to act Mafia want to be called “meow meow”? Not cute, not funny. Monet is so fake and sure knows how to turn on the tears. Brittney is strange. Cathy floats. It is funny to watch them backpedal. I still don’t understand why Andrew was so happy and Matt is just strange. Altho I would like the show to be on 5 nites, I would only like that if they do more things. There could be more competitions for the fun of it or prizes, shopping, movies, special food nites, money or just for the sake of entertainment. It is getting boring watching them play pool. Give them some things to do so that we have something to watch. Games like pictionary, or charades, or something that will give them something to do and let us see how they act. I get sick of them talking strategy all the time and repeating what they say over and over. Why don’t they ever talk about likes, dislikes, movies they have seen, places they have gone, a day in their life outside the BBHouse. You know, really talk and not just mention. Learning about them as a person can add some interest to this game. I can’t figure out why they all haven’t started gaining weight with the amount of food they eat. They eat because they are so bored. I really am getting bored with this group. At least one of the groups before made up some games. I would never try to be on this show due to the boredom. They must sit around staring at the walls most of the day. How exciting is that?

Ok so I am the only one who LOVES the Brigrade. Will like them even more when they give it to girly man Brendon and his trashy girlfriend. OH and meow meow is very entertaining so I say long live Don Enzo.

Where oh where to begin.
Hate that bb changed from Tue to Wed, what is that all about?
Can’t wait for Monet to hit the road, hopefully she will hold the exit door open for Brittany (chief nail inspector), Enzo ( the wanna be mafia), Matthew (talks lots but says little), Lane (silent but deadly), Rachel (hate the laugh, tired of seeing her porno side, the whine “this is realty tv people, and the best of the best from her, that “the other side is out to get her and oh yes brandon too”)
Kristen, what is up with her and Andrew, she sure is pusing hard for him to stay (which I agree with), I thought she and Hayden ( the beatle wanna be hair style), were the long time friends, and in regard to Ragan I really like that he is one smart cookie.
BBAD is so boring I find myself actually looking forward to the “commercial breaks” showing shows coming up , The Big C & Weeds.
Grow up hgs this is a show about revenge, backstabbing and just plain using your brain, and not what Playboy promotes sex, sex and yet more sex. In my opinion (this from a 67 year old lady) at least last year we knew who to hate and why, this year the majority are getting on my last nerve, lol
But will I continue to keep watching, of course I will,
Will I continue to keep yelling at the TV, of course I will.
This is what can be called addiction, I tried to call 1-800-BBADDICT
but was put on hold by a voice very similar to Rachel’s telling me my call is very important to them, but the hgs are all out at a “secret” their side of the house meeting, to call back.
Oh well, just 10 ,more hours till BBAD, maybe there will be new clips for the upcoming season of Weeds.
Ciao for now fellow bloggers
Talk to you all soon,
Oh just one more question anyone know the whereabouts of Kevin 11?? I have seen most of the roomies last year, but have not seen him.
Curious minds want to know…

The only comments I agree with is that the name Brigade is bad.

It was boring until Saturday night. Since then they have been entertaining.

If anything Rachael has been over thinking things. She is not dumb. For those of you comping about lack of underwear please get a hold of yourselves. Obviously, it didn’t occur to her she might be jumping up and down or picked up for a hug. Bet she thinks of that from now on.

No they are not the most interesting cast compared to the last few seasons but I say give them more time. it’s still early in this season.

Hello everyone. I think this season has started to get aggressive way too fast. Usually the H.G.’s don’t start forming the alliances like “The Brigade” don’t start forming until the middle of the game. What are these people doing. They are going to burn themselves out before we get to August with their aggessive game play.
I’m really disappointed that Annie was evicted before she could do any real damage. I think BB should have asked another houseguest to do it before they annouced the identity of Annie and if the other person they chose got evicted than they should have told the H.G.’s about both sabateours.

Oh well such as life, I’m just going to keep on watching and see what happens.

@ Boston Rob, the Brigade is: Lane, Hayden, Matt & Enzo. Enzo made up the name Brigade (I think had it planned before the season started). He also gave them all nicknames but they were so stupid I an only remember his, Meow Meow!! What is up with that? What man in his right mind wants to be called Meow Meow?

Definitions of brigade (n)
bri·gade [ bri gáyd ]
1) military unit: a military unit consisting of two or more combat battalions or regiments and associated support units.

2) group with common goal or characteristic: a group of people organized to achieve a particular goal or characterized by a common trait such as attitude, background, appearance, or activities

3) organize people into task force: to organize a group of people in order to achieve a particular goal

what is with Rachel and her whole thing about “expect the unexpected” and this is a “reality show” on and on repeating it over like she was on an acid trip or something . . . for someone as smart as she is supposed to be, I expect more out of her. I too think she is going for a playboy spread or maybe she is hoping for Victoria Secrets to offer some free panties. Does she not know we can see her stuff? Seen one, don’t need to see more. really? seriously?

I can’t get over someone calling himself “Meow-Meow”.

I think the rest of the Brigade is getting annoyed with Enzo continuing to call them the Brigade. No one uses their nicknames except Enzo with his own. Meow meow. Newsflash, if you give yourself a nickname and no one else calls you it, it’s not a nickname.

I also found it a little suspicious that when Annie said that she was the saboteur in the video, Britney immediately said that she was probably lying about everything else she said in the videos. Perhaps she wants other houseguests to not suspect that there is a “life-long friendship” in the house, as some are starting to suspect it. Britney and Kathy were the two faces that Annie put X’s on, so maybe Annie was hinting that those two are mother-daughter or aunt-niece. Just weird to think about.

I am enjoying this season, but I’m a little annoyed by the constant bitching at everyone else.

First I have to say that I was appauled when they had to fuzz out Rachel’s A$$ when she leaped into the fools arms when she won HOH.. she is the most raunchy person that has ever been on the show.. her parents must be so proud of her that she showed everyone she doesn’t even have the common sense to put on underwear. Add that her constantly jumping on Brendon’s lap is beginning to get on my nerves. I have a daughter that is three years younger than her and at least I know she was raised with MORALS and would never do something that cheap. Rachel is like a Vegas Call Girl, and CBS needs to say something to her about that little bit, because if she continues with that they are going to loose alot of veiwers.
As for Enzo, OMG his fake ‘joisey’ accent makes my skin crawl, add that I am originally from Jersey (moved 5 years ago) and he has made it seem like we are all idiots like him. We don’t have that stupid accent, he sounds more like he’s from over the bridge — Staten Island NY, NOT NJ…. add the other thing NO we do NOT have ‘nicknames’ for everyone in NJ so I have no clue where he even got that from.. another Staten Island NY thing.
Hate to say it, but if they don’t do something about all the ‘antics’ that are going on in there even tho I am a die-hard BB fan I will not be watching it anymore.. it has gone from something that was good to a strip show on the Outerbridge Crossing (going into Staten Island from NJ) it is the worse season ever!!
Hopefully CBS will do something about all this soon or they will loose their loyal viewers!

Yes, I HATE BB on Wednesday and I can’t stand the fact that the stoopid B&R team didn’t put up Hayden.

Wednesday sucks and so far, so does this year. Where do they find these people? Chemists with no respect (“showing her parts” LOL), Brendon going for his PHD with no common sense. Enzo still playing Tony in the Sopranos and God only knows what the others are thinking. Britchney is just that. Great name! Monet is floating along. I like Ragan so far and the juries out on the others. Perhaps a muzzle and a pair of panties would help.

Please CBS do something to liven up this show. I don’t see much strategy so far except as was stated above, the “Brigade” (4th grade name for sure) is still an unknown factor. What is interesting is Kristen and Heyden might be soliciting 2 different teams. Who will follow who? I think she’s the stronger personality.

PK, I agree, bring on The Donald!

BBB – I’d also prefer Tues-Thurs-Sunday and it definitely is time for a long arduous endurance competition (and BRING BACK THE CARAMEL). To spice things up we need a showmance between Britney & Monet and another one of Ragan and Lane even tho Ragan was jonesin for Brendon… or Ragan and the MeowMeow manpussy…
I’m convinced that Rachel has been locked into Frank Zappa’a Valley Girl video (hee hee gag me with a spoon). And she doesn’t wear clothes cause she has to show of all her expen$ive pla$tic $urgery.
“Brigade” don’t make no sense cause they’re not even enough for a platoon let alone a brigade and “meow meow” jest sounds stoopid.
I don’t know who to like now neither and I’m honestly jonesin’ for some evil dick AND crazy james…..

as far as rachel not wearing any underwear, i don’t get your comments really. I have seen her lay in a hammock with a skirt on and you could see up her skirt she had panties on. as far as this season goes it is pretty good so far, people say that every year even last year about it not being a good season. as far as I’m concerned I’m rooting for the brigade, they are more fun and entertaining. brendon is a stiff and rachel is a slut, nuff said.

i hate that its on wednesdays cause i go to work at midnight and i sleep before i got for a few hours . i picked wednesday nights to work cause big brother wasnt on when i picked my schedule last yea on wednesday it was tuesday what the heck

We don’t have that stupid accent, he sounds more like he’s from over the bridge — Staten Island NY, NOT NJ…. add the other thing NO we do NOT have ‘nicknames’ for everyone in NJ so I have no clue where he even got that from.. another Staten Island NY thing.
Hate to say it, but if they don’t do something about all the ‘antics’ that are going on in there even tho I am a die-hard BB fan I will not be watching it anymore.. it has gone from something that was good to a strip show on the Outerbridge Crossing (going into Staten Island from NJ) it is the worse season ever!!
CHRIS,

In regard to your above statement regarding Staten Island/NY i do not know if I should lol or cry. I am a Staten Island gal born and raised, and yes I do have a NY accent, but trust me not all of us New Yorkers sound like Enzo. The SI vs NJ thing has been going on for years and I guess it will go on for many more. There seems to be a rivlary between us I have no idea why, but it does exist.
I say let’s judge the person not the borough/State they live in………….
In closing I have retired to Missouri and all that we have met here just love our accent, they want us to talk more, they get a kick out of it.
nuff said.

Donna, glad to be a brigade fan club member, people this is early in the season you have to give this a little time, a true BB fan would always do that.

Hey INDZONE, you just made me laugh out loud with your comments. Your only saying what a lot of people are thinking.

INDZONE, love you, A True BB fan, would hang in there, and stop bitching and moaning, their are down times on this show, thats the way it is, SO HATERS LIGHTEN UP!!!!!!

******Not Much Of A Spoiler Alert *******

So, as we all expected ( all who have been paying attention), Matt was named as replacement nominee today instead of Andrew.

This week is done, Monet will be voted out 8-1.

Am i the only one who thinks Rachel and Kathy are the lifelong friends? I never saw Kathy and Rachel talk to each other until Rachel
won HOH. As soon as she won Kathy comes into Rachel’s room and
says you did it.I am so proud of you. Then she says here are the clothes i borrowed from you.Then, a couple of days later she picks
up the letter from Rachel’s mother and starts reading it like she knows the person who wrote it. Prior to all of this she hung around
Brittney and Monet. I may be way off base, but maybe not.

What is it with every one against the showmance!?! it gives them something to do in the house! I am a big fan of Ragan, he is the best in the house, they should totally break up the brigade!!!!!!

…oh…I’m trying not to hate…don’t want to give up on our HGs yet….but I’ve never fallen asleep this much watching BBAD on Sho2 past seasons

KOW..don’t you mean* LIKE expect the unexpected? This is LIKE reality TV*??? I was saying that they should make a drinking game out of this..and everytime Rachel says ETU, you take a drink! If we’re all falling asleep anyway in front of BBAD we may as well be HAPPY about it!! *hick*

It seems like we are all on the same page when it comes to BB 12! Totally enjoyed and mostly agreed with, all the commnets today. Good to see the blog hopping again! I’m also not a fan of the MeowMeow….what does that even MEAN anyway?? Chris?? Mama Margie?? You are the resident NY/NJ analyzers here. Enjoyed both your comments and differnt points of view! Being a Michigander,all I know is what I see on the Sopranos or the Godfather. I’d almost go so far as to say I think that’s all Enzo is going by too!!! I don’t even think he is from that area….I think he’s a really BAD actor planted in the house as a psychological test to see how long it takes for him to drive all the other HGs totally frigin INSANE!!!!lol And if he spent all that time pre-showtime thinking up the name Brigade…..ugh…threw up in my mouth a lil there……why didn’t he give some thought to his hair?? Or lack thereof?? I cannot stand looking at the mans head! He needed to start Rogaine back when he tried out for BB OR shaved his head! I think that is why he had that do-rag on today…..or is that a brigade thing?? It’s a part of one of his T-shirts he cut up. Can’t afford a bandana, dude?? Even on a bad actor’s salary, I mean…really??lol

JT….nice job on the mini spoiler alert!! It’s good to start out small and build…. Oh..and I was thinking the SAME exact thing about Rach running her hands thru Brenden’s hair. 1st of all, there’s not much there to run thru, but it seems more of a nervous habit….like when you have a dog or cat in your lap and you pet it almost unconsciously. I don’t know if anyone else feels this way but I think R is a bit of a control freak! And if they stay together, B better get ready to wear the collar, not the pants in that family!! Meow, Meow!!! hehehe

And as I stated in a previous post or posts, I am also not happy that BB isn’t on Tues nite this year. Tues sucks until 10:00…then there are like 5 shows I try to tivo or watch!! Also, something on at 8:00 or 9:00 would be refreshing…..and would get a large number of people watching CBS since there is CRAP on all the other stations!

Ok…nite all. Nothing like a good rant to send one off to dreamland…..;)

Good morning all!

Star, LOL… mini-spoilers are good when we are expecting the expected. Brendon’s hair might resemble Enzo’s by the time Rachel is done with it… and you are right, Rachel does have a sort of “Dr Evil” quality to her while nervously stroking her pet’s hair!…… and her strategy is about on the same level.

KevinOUTwest, I didn’t see the logic behind Matt volunteering to be the replacement. I’ve read and watched some reasons, but I still think he was over-thinking that decision…and in ways he is not playing the smartest game. However, he is in ABSOLUTELY NO DANGER this week. I know this is Big Brother and pawns can go home.. but not this time. The brigade will vote to keep Matt… and the rest want Monet gone (except Brit). Monet has as much of a chance to stay as last year’s week 2 Laura vs Jordan.

Why the heck didn’t Rachel put up Hayden? Damn he put up her and her lap dog did he not? Instead she puts up monet and brittney. I know it’s just started and I’m giving it a chance but so far it lacks the punch it needs. Get rid of cocky Hayden and Enzo!!! meow meow?? what the????????

Enzo kinda drives me crazy, exspecailly when he calls himself meow meow. Raceal needs to cover up just a little. I think they should let Annie sneak in at night & mess with them, or offer money to one of the others to take her place. Its not the most exciting season, but not the worst either.

Shirley,
I AGREE with this that you said “It is getting boring watching them play pool. Give them some things to do so that we have something to watch. Games like pictionary, or charades, or something that will give them something to do and let us see how they act. I get sick of them talking strategy all the time and repeating what they say over and over. Why don’t they ever talk about likes, dislikes, movies they have seen, places they have gone, a day in their life outside the BBHouse. You know, really talk and not just mention. Learning about them as a person can add some interest to this game. I can’t figure out why they all haven’t started gaining weight with the amount of food they eat. They eat because they are so bored. I really am getting bored with this group. At least one of the groups before made up some games. I would never try to be on this show due to the boredom. They must sit around staring at the walls most of the day. How exciting is that?”

THAT IS WHY my sister and I want a Big brother with everyone OVER FORTY YRS OLD. you know, the brain doesn’t stop growing to be it’s adult size until about 23 or 24 and THEN it has to start getting filled up.
btw, Rachel is a scientist and called Andrew’s yamaka (kipot) a yamakapir? (i think she meant Yom Kippur) which I know very little about but then again i’m old and didn’t go to college.
I sure shope she’s not a rocket scientist or I’m building my bomb shelter now (j/k……i’m only renting or i prob would)

This season should be called “The days of whine and boobsies”.

Obviously I’m late here, but I actually like Enzo. I thought I’d hate him during the first episode because I’m from Pennsylvania and he’s stereotypical Jersey, but he turns out to be quite comical, even his names are funny to me. I doubt that was intentionaly, but at least he’s entertaining. I hate Rachael more than anyone and hope she goes and Brendan too just because of his association with that annoying bimbo. I’m a fan of the “Brigade” even if the name is stupid.
