OK, how many think Ragan TRULY and HONESTLY received the most votes? BB's primary desire is to offer the Saboteur role to a HG most likely to accept and who will not foul it up. My feeling is any of the Brigade members would most likely NOT accept the offer. They are all making F4 plans, so why ruin a good thing? Brendon and Rachel would be a high risk of repeating the Saboteur's one and only week reign. Kathy would muck it up. Leaving Ragan and Britney as the only viable options. Coincidence? You make the call!MATT - Top ranking for his HOH nominations of Brendon/Rachel and finally breaking up the Skank-mance. Although I'm probably in the minority, I understand his apprehension the first time around, but with the diamond POV he can break them up without individual risk and guarantee a numerical majority in the F7. Well done.
BRITNEY - If I'm going to rightfully criticize her for being a quitter in competitions requiring endurance, it's only fair to give her credit for her recent POV victory. Even though after the Skank-mance were eliminated first and the "power" became incidental, the girl stepped up and came through with a great effort. Still a riot in the House. If ever evicted the entertainment value this season would take a nosedive. And good thing you didn't accept Rachel's 5K...she's gonna need it for a good therapist.
RAGAN - Unless proven otherwise, I guess we should assume America's Vote for Saboteur to be legit. Assuming that, he clearly has been endearing to most of the viewers because America's Choices generally come down to popularity contests; so he gets points for that. He hasn't done anything major to kill his game, but he'll need to make a power move soon to be a serious contender. What I would like to know is what got you more excited?--Your first week as Saboteur or Matt's playful slap on your tush at the POV competition?
HAYDEN - The reason for the drop is because the top three had a more eventful week, i.e. HOH win, POV win, and America's Choice win. Thanks to BB's decision NOT to bring an evicted HG (namely Kristen) back into the House you dodged a potential bullet, so still in good shape. And you keep looking better and better with each nominated HG who reacts in a most obnoxious and hysterical manner.
KATHY - The 1980 Olympic Hockey team won the Gold; Buster Douglas upset Mike Tyson for the Heavyweight Title; I guess we can add Kathy eliminating Rachel to that group. Big difference though--the Soviet Red Army and Iron Mike did NOT demand an apology from the victors! Enjoy your stay in the middle of the pack this week; you may not be here for long. Also moved her up for how she handled her situation with the psychotic skank.
ENZO - BAD ENZO! I guess Britney has been providing more than speech lessons...apparently she's giving you pointers on how to bail out early. But here's some friendly advice...the art of throwing a competiton is to do so in such a manner where no one can suspect it. I'm hoping we do not see a pattern or trend here because you continue to be an entertaining character this season.
LANE - When you're lame there's not a whole lot of reason to give you a good ranking, but nothing obviously negative to rank you last. So this is an appropriate spot for Lane.
BRENDON - Your Andrew-like POV speech was rehearsed, but your pathetic sore-losing behavior prior to that was not. Perhaps he is auditioning to be a juror on Survivor. You're a scientist who deals with formulas and equations. Yours is real simple. Win = You advance. Lose = You're out the door. After watching the piece with his ex-fiance, he passes up a prime rib dinner to sink his teeth into a raw burger???!!! Oh well, I guess some guys just like "fast" food.
Speaking of which...
GONZO
RACHEL - The audacity of this wench to criticize "her man" and suggest SHE carried the Skank-mance. Have you forgotten if not for BOTH of Brendon's POV wins your "one-in-a-million" guy would be back home stroking laps in the pool instead of stroking your skanky body! Now that she's out of the House, I'm sure we'll hear how winning the game didn't matter to her. Yadda-Yadda-Yadda; Blah-Blah-Blah. Whereas some may swallow that hogwash, I won't. Heck, a half-a-million is a half-a-million. And that's alot of tip money for even a skanky Vegas Ho like Rachel.
Oh Joy, another HOH competition to keep us in suspense until Sunday. And another one favoring a small nimble person. Taylormade for Matt...Oh wait, he can't compete. As long as Brendon doesn't win, I could care less who does. Whatever happens, the Brigade will have the advantage in the F7.
