Well, I don't read them but I read the summaries, so yeah -- Andrew was going and he probably knew he was going unless he made a bold last-ditch attempt, and he had nothing to lose. And if that didn't work, at least he could hope to get Kristen out after him.

Andrew thought his veto speech would sway people to his side, too -- and that was arguably the touchstone for his eviction. Given that level of cluelessness and inability to predict people's reactions combined with zero talent for acting, there's a good chance he felt the Words Of Death were a real chance to swing a vote or two over to his side.

The results might not have been 8-0 with a more standard goodbye, but he was definitely on his way out. The cage started to turned against the original backup plan (if Brendon couldn't be backdoored, evict Kathy) after the veto meeting, and Andrew's poor persuasion abilities never even came close to turning a single ballot around -- unless it was to get its back towards him.

Not on the feeds either, but I thought he had the Brigade votes and Brendon, and even Rachel until his weird veto speech that put the brigade and Rachel off of him. Then the last speech lost Brendon. And the Brigade. And Britney.

And with the Brigade and Brendon voting for him he stood a chance at a tie. I don't know if he ever had a chance with Britney, but if he did, that last speech scared her into voting him off.

It seems to me he may have had a chance before making those speeches, and that they did kill his chances.

Well, I think Enzo was thinking of going after Andrew anyway before the Veto speech. Then the Veto speech convinced all the Brigade to get rid of Andrew. Brendon was trying to save him but that only convinced most of the house to get rid of Andrew. And I think Andrew told Brendon he was going to out Hayden & Kristen before he left, which makes me think Andrew figured he was going out anyway and that he decided to get rid of another showmance in a last show of loyalty to Brendon. I don't know if this convinced Brendon to give up or not, but it couldn't have helped Andrew any.

Fair Used from his conversation with Zap2it.

'Talk about the final speech you gave -- that was quite a go-down-in-flames exit. Did you think it would help you or were you just bent on outing the Hayden/Kristen showmance?

Both, but most of all outing Kristen because she turned on me.

Do you regret anything you did while in the Big Brother house?

I regret the veto ceremony speech, because at the time I had the votes and I didn't know it. I guess I was nervous that I didn't.'

They're also reporting no sequester for Andrew (as expected) and that Monet & Annie have been released on an unsuspecting public. So keep your eyes open -- by the laws of her own belief system, Monet must spend the rest of her life on a quest to punch us all in the face.
