I nearly knocked my giant plastic cup to the floor when I saw Rachel back in the Big Brother house! Granted, it’s just for a 24 hour “fact finding” mission with the HGs, but the plot thickens with the disappearance of Brendon! Speculation continues on his whereabouts, but it seems clear that Brenchel will not be seeing one another in this 24 hour reprieve! But…before any of the HGs can pick their jaw off the floor, Rachel walks in already fighting with Ragan! Good times. Then she continues her great inquisition as to why they all voted her off 6-0. All state it was because she was “such a great competitor.” Canned BB answer, page 9, paragraph 6 of the BB HG Manual.
So let’s review…Brendon won HOH and nominated Brigade member Lane and “floater” Ragan for eviction. But we know Ragan is the Saboteur and Matt holds the Diamond Veto. Ragan won POV, which means he will take himself off the block. It doesn’t matter who he’s replaced with because Matt is in control and no one knows! If Brendon puts Matt on the block to replace Ragan, Matt will use his Diamond Veto, and take himself or both nominees down and put up whoever he wants! There are so many possibilities and combinations even the BB fish are confused!
During an intimate conversation between Matt & Rachel, they actually behaved like friends! (watch for the knife!) The same can be said of her one on one with Kathy, where Kathy tells her how much she misses her (?). Rachel was talking about the Jury house and how “tranquil” it is and how her perspective changed within 5 hours of leaving the BB house. And Rachel provided all the classics: “Brendon & I,” her laugh, extension twirling, Vegas references, eye rolling…you get the picture!
To Matt’s credit, the reiteration of his conversation with Rachel to the other HGs was accurate as he encouraged everyone to go talk to her. Ragan refused as did Britney, and I did LOL at Britney’s reasoning, “There are lines you do not cross,” as she proceeded to put on her moral princess crown acting completely without fault in all her HG bashing. At one point, Rachel cornered Britney on her good-bye message, and Britney said she purposely left a nice message. Not what I saw, but, okay Britney, whatever you say.
And then in an attempt to offer Ragan, a cookie, Rachel confronts him in the back yard and they ended up auditioning for “Most Dramatic Performance on a Reality Show.” To me, it looked staged, but all in all it was really funny. Equally vile, equally nasty, equally personal and hateful, but in the end the award went to……Ragan to be sure, who left Rachel standing, stunned in the back yard – speechless. Think Dynasty fight between Krystal & Alexis but without the physical contact. Flash forward about 30 minutes, Rachel departs the diary room and immediately approaches Ragan with an apology, Ragan accepts her apology, they courtesy hug, sit to talk and then move into another room for privacy.
What ensued last night was a series of bus tossing, Pandora’s Box deliberation, HG fights, Saboteur identity accusations and Whack a Mole from all HGs to all HGs! Enzo is suspicious of Matt and thinks he’s flipped on the Brigade, Hayden agrees, Britney cried, Ragan took back his fuzzy feelings for Rachel remembering she didn’t shed a tear during her apology (his criteria on sincerity), Kathy blamed Brendon for Rachel’s return and may be Matt’s replacement in the Brigade, Britney cried some more, and Lane got mad and told the barbell that he hated it. Poor barbell.
There was so much going on yesterday this blog would cover the Big Brother stairs up, down and back again, so let’s suffice it say that this week will be a roller coaster of Big Brother proportions! While the HGs all volunteer to sequester themselves in a house full of strangers, cut off from the outside world, it’s easy for us to munch on our Cocoa Puffs, yell at the screen and make assumptions on what we would do. Today, Rachel leaves the house at 3:00 p.m., and assuredly that’s when Brendon will return, probably without knowledge that she was there but with stories of where he was. (I’m thinking a blindfold, limo, science fair, game or talk show?) Or maybe BB won’t allow him to tell them at all opening their suspicious minds even more!
We have the best posters on this board, so it’s your turn!!! We need to hear from you! We have the Diamond Veto, the POV, the HOH and all these HGs! What will happen this week? Ragan will take himself off – so who goes up? Will Matt use the Diamond Veto? And more importantly…will Lane apologize to the barbell? Let the typing begin! =^^=
