They're finally gonna escape their various confinements tonight and be released back into society... gawds help us all...

Our Final 3 are the Brigaders of Lane, Enzo, and Hayden. Only Enzo isn't eligible for the Final HoH and the right to determine his opponent to face the jury.

Speaking of the jury, they'll reveal to the Final 3 that Matt's wife is as healthy as can be, as well as Ragan being Stabo 2.0

If Britney seems off tonight, then it might be because she was told that the house that she was going to move into after the show had burned down last night... (It's not certain that she'll be told before or during the show, it's entirely possible she won't know about it until after the show wraps up...)

Maybe Brit could move into the BB house until next summer!

Season in review... in about 5 minutes or so...

and it goes on and on and on.

We start up from where they ended on Sunday with the Brigade Handshake... Every Brigader for themselves.

Hayden: 2 Knucklhead Brigaders between me and the half million.

Lane: If I win the Final part, I have to decide who's easier to beat...

Enzo: I created the Brigade, but I've probably got no chance to even sniff the half million... unless someone takes me to the Final 2...

Lane/Hayden had a Final 2 agreement early in the show, while wearing what looks like hand/homemade t-shirts... While Enzo sulks in his bed... He figures he needs Jedi Mind Tricks to somehow win this thing...

Enzo tries to work his magic on both of them... with telling them that the other can beat them, he can't... and then hope for the best...

Talking to the Brigade about how bad they need the money and all that...

After Ragan's initial arrival, it seems to have calmed down again...

Britney arrives in the house wearing a Bra-Gade white t-shirt with her as Alternate and #5... and she reveals the Brigade to the Jury... and Ragan gets Grenaded again that Matt had no intention to keep him... and then Britney says that Enzo claimed to have created it...

Who's the Stabo quesions pop up... then Matt reveals how healthy his wife is... Britney takes it with some grace... until she DRs about him being a snake.... Britney was hoping to find out that Rachel was preggo...

The first argument ensues that the Brigade got lucky because other people took each other out... but then the brilliance comes out: since they had side-alliances with other peeps, over half the house was Brigade loyal...

Matt wants to hear the reason for Enzo winning... Britney's answer: His social game, and he never became a target...

Hayden as winner? He's won competitions and gotten his hands dirty... but was he manipulated?

Lane as winner? Played nice, but is that enough to win it? Ragan trashes his game, for Britney to defend him...

Brendon suggests that they ask them good questions to determine their winer... Matt suggests that they use small words, drawing LOLs from the Jury...

Part 3: Hayden vs. Lane. How well do you know the Jury?

Rachel: Favorite moment? Brendon or Comp wins? Brendon, tied at 1

Kathy: Shocking moment? Diamond POV or Rachel's return? Rachel, tied at 2

Matt: Fatal error? Trust Brigade or throwing last HoH? HoH, tied at 3

Brendon: Afraid to see family see? Scorched Earth or bowling ball to J/J? Scorched Earth, tied at 4

Ragan: Reality check hamster? Brendon or Rachel? Brendon, both wrong, still tied at 4.

Britney: Funniest moment? Kathy in caramel or Rachel/Ragan's fight? Rachel/Ragan, both wrong still tied at 4.

They both ended up answering the same thing for each quesiton...

TPIR tiebreaker: How many times during part 1 did BB slam them into walls? Hayden: 91, Lane 55... Correct answer 200+, so Hayden wins the Final HoH!

Plead you final case to Hayden, Enzo and Lane...

Hayden votes to evict... Enzo

Enzo talks about his lack of competition wins and how he was hoping to sway the Jury...

Goodbye messages: Lane claims that he was gonna take him if he won... and Hayden explains that Enzo's social game was an extreme threat for him to face the Jury...

Am I the only one that thinks Lane said that primarily to get Enzo's vote?

ETA: Although the "best social player ever" ego stroke could also be a vote grab.

Of course, he did. Here what I think:
Lane: Brendan, Rachel, Britney and Enzo
Here's the winner.

in the order of their elimination... Rachel/Brendon/Kathy on the top tier, and Britney/Ragan (in bow tie)/Matt on the bottom tier.

Who do you think got evicted?

Britney: Anyone but Lane

Matt: Enzo.

Chenbot calls for Enzo to join them and then explains that Hayden evicted Enzo on the way out...

Jury as a group got together to form 6 questions, and then Enzo has a question of their own.

Rachel: Lane, since the Jury won the majority of comps, why should we vote for you?

Brendon: Hayden, which two non-Brigade members would you like to see in the Final 2?

Matt: Lane, would you have chosen Britney or a Brigader to join you to Final 2 if you had that choice... (he didn't answer it at first...)

Kathy: Hayden, did you play a better social game than Lane (the man sitting next to you)?

Britney: Lane, your most significant contribution to the Brigade? (3 big words in a row...)

Ragan: Hayden, do you regret anything said behind the backs of the jury members...?

Enzo: Lane, were you really gonna take me to the Final 2?

Final speeches from Hayden/Lane are first up, though...

Rachel: Best social player will get my vote (but she left her bag on the cheese wheel)

Kathy: mutters

Matt: I would've kicked both of your rears if I made it to F4...

Brendon: Best social player will get my vote as well...

Ragan: One was here to win it and the other was here to give it away...

Britney: May the best man win

Enzo: Who needs a haircut vs. who needs a shave...

Highlights of Annie/Monet/Andrew/Kristen's misadventures in the cage...

The first 4 out are sitting across the studio from the Jury...

Rachel hears for the first time what Monet said behind her back... Monet blames the stress of the cage...

They show the video proof (including Hayden's DR) about the Kristen/Hayden showmance that Andrew revealed on his way out...

Andrew corrects Matt's pronunciation about the disease that Matt's wife didn't have... which Julie breaks in to remind Andrew that the Final 3 Brigaders didn't know about it... Ragan staring a hole into him during his explanation of why did he do that...

No word from Annie (yet)

Annie praises Enzo about him manipulating every single vote as best they could...

They all get to see the reaction of Britney getting hit with the Brigade Grenade (including Lane DRing that he would've really taken Britney with him to F2) Enzo had a feeling when he won that POV...

Brenchel talk time... who's gonna move to who? Brendon wants to take her to UCLA... which she just might do! Britney wants to throw up. Ragan pretty much keeps himself mum...

Annie: were there any lifelong friends? Heck no.

Time to reveal the second Stabo... Ragan

Britney guesses Matt. Enzo guesses Kathy/Matt. Lane adds in Enzo. Matt has no clue.

Ragan reveals himself. Then we get to see the highlights of his best one: 'I Know Your Secret'...

Brithney'house burnt this week and she does'nt know it now.
His boyfriend will be there tonight and tell her after the show....

Rachel: Lane
Kathy: Hayden
Matt: Hayden
Brendon: Lane
Ragan: Hayden
Britney: Lane
Enzo: Hayden!

4-3 for Hayden.

Chenbot put the keys in the wrong spot for the first 4 keys...

If Lane came that close to winning against Hayden, I got to believe Enzo would have crushed Hayden.

Well, as wrong about Enzo as I proved to be, I was right about Hayden being a threat. He made all the right moves

is Britney, and good thing, too.

Poor timing here. They should have left Brit a chance to say something. Chenbot needs a new watch.

I got up to fill my glass, and I missed it.

What did she get? $50K?

And I assume they didn't break the news to her during the show that her house was burned down by Nick recently.

My theory is that that was just his way of telling Lane to "Bring it on!"

$25k for America's Hamster... plust the $10,010 that she already had from the coin hide and seek and the first HoH competition...

Talking about money, Enzo said he got nothing. Don't they get paid something for those 3 months? Even the first boot on Survivor gets $2500 + $10000 for the reunion.

Everyone gets paid for their time in the cage... He was talking about Prize money... the only thing that he won that can really be taken home was the 3D TV...

I wish Julie had outed Hayden (after the vote) for taking the Hawai'i trip and the 5K during the veto, so that Britney and Enzo could have pummeled Mr. Competition.

I thought Lane was the most entertaining guy. And at first I read him as a dumb ox, but his DR speeches were a hoot. I was happy he didn't get skunked.

He was inarticulate as a tongue-tied water buffalo during the finale, so I suspect that his DR speeches required several takes.

Agree, but I do agree with MRC that he didn't do well in the Final speech to the jury.
