'Big Brother 12': Rachel makes her nominations
Rachel and Brendon taught us an important lesson today: just because you're good at science, doesn't mean you're good at "Big Brother 12."
Previously: the producer's evil "twist" blew up in their face when Saboteur Annie was evicted, and Rachel won HoH.
Post-Eviction Reaction
Everyone is happy Annie is gone, especially Enzo who credits The Brigade for a job well done and then sets his sights on Brendon and Rachel next.
After Annie leaves, Brendon immediately confesses that he's not "just" a swim coach instructor, he's also a smarty pants with lots of degrees I don't feel like taking the time to transcribe. Hilariously, the show then cuts to Andrew and Ragan discussing how their lies about their true professions haven't yet been revealed. I love how there are multiple people this year who have to hide their smarts. Such a change!
Rachel, HoH Extraordinaire
Rachel wins HoH and Andrew goes absolutely insane, acting like a jumping monkey on crack. He is...not smooth. Hayden sees this as evidence of an alliance, but there doesn't seem to actually be one in place. Andrew is just a spaz. The Brigade immediately starts strategizing on how to get Rachel's focus off them and onto other people in the house, like Britney and Monet. For their part, Britney and Monet have decided to celebrate Rachel's victory by having an all-out slagfest against all of the other houseguests for no apparent reason.
Hayden decides he needs to work Rachel a little bit, so he goes up to her and starts working a little magic with Rachel's head and planting the seed of Britney being untrustworthy (and trying to make sure Kristen, his crush, is safe). Matt tries to deflect attention from himself and The Brigade by acting paranoid, but his paranoia only makes Brendon and Rachel wonder what he's up to.
Awesomely, Rachel and Brendon sit Hayden down and have a serious discussion about being in an alliance together. Hey, Brendon? Remember last week when he nominated you and was pretty clear about you being the target? It was only a few days ago, so it shouldn't be that hard to recall. Hayden does a fantastic job of making them think he's on their side and simultaneously deflecting any attention away from The Brigade. He is a better player than I expected, honestly. I'm impressed so far.
Have and Have Not Competition
The competition is a "Human Graffiti" theme (which is much preferable to the "Human Centipede" version, I'm sure). To play, each team tapes one member to a wall like graffiti, and the team whose member stays taped up the longest wins and gets to pick which other team are the "Have Nots" for the week. The kink is that the teams are given water cannons to shoot at the other players and attempt to loosen their tape.
Ragan, Kathy and Britney are taped to the wall. Ragan is taped terribly, and is the first to fall. Kathy and Britney are both pretty even until Britney starts to slip and her tape begins to choke her, which causes the green team to quickly cut her down and take themselves out of the competition. Kathy's team then gets to pick who will be a Have Not, and since none of the members of Britney's team have been one yet they choose them. Britney takes this as a terrible personal affront to her, but I have a feel Britney takes everything as a terrible personal affront. It starts raining? Mother nature is out to get her! Out of peanut butter? The entire food industry is conspiring against her! It's tiring, is what I'm saying. Luckily for Britney, the Have Nots get actual food this week: fish sticks and fruit cake! Honestly, that isn't all that bad. It could be, like, that maggoty cheese from Sicily or something.
The Saboteur Revealed
Annie leaves a message that she was, in fact, the Saboteur and she was evicted. Needless to say, Hayden is pretty proud of himself for getting her out of the house. The happiest person, however, is Andrew because now the suspicion is off him. Too bad he's still so socially awkward. That is not a good thing for game play, dude.
Nomination Ceremony
Rachel nominates Britney and Monet, which is pretty idiotic considering all of the promises Brendon made last week to get revenge on Hayden. Today, ladies and germs, we learned that just because you are good at science doesn't mean you are good at "Big Brother." (I guess we should have learned that from Michele last season, huh?) Not that Monet or Britney are people that are on her side, but it seems like there are bigger fish to fry.

Random thoughts:
- I might sort of hate Britney as a person, but her catty diary room comments are absolutely hilarious. Thank you, Brit Brit, for making me laugh each and every episode. (And for real, Rachel needs to put on some pants.)
- Biggest Diary Room shouters of the season: Hayden and Rachel. You guys. There are microphones. You don't need to yell.
- Does no one know Hayden, Enzo, Lane and Matt are working together? If not, they've done an excellent job so far keeping that quiet.
Favorite quotes:
- "I'm so pissed right now. We were so freaking close and we let some idiot, who wasn't even smart enough to put pants on before we started the competition, win." - Britney
- "Birthmarks supposedly are places where you were stabbed in your previous life." - Kristen
- "Me being from Jersey, I sniffed out the trick inside this girl. I knew it, she couldn't get past the Meow Meow." - Enzo, on Annie

I dont kno who is more annyoing....i think we need to start a poll....Who is more annoying? Rachel with that annoying fingernail on the chalkboard voice.....or Bbritney and her constant whining....both need to just shut up already....
Britney is a ***** (I agree, some of her comments are funny) and her whining is annoying, but the Most Annoying Award easily goes to Rachel. When she talks about Brendan she sounds like she's 14 and I absolutely can't stand the way she laughs after she says something she thinks is funny. Also, I like Hayden, but he seriously needs to stop yelling in the diary room.
Annoying as Brit and Monet are, they're harmless at this stage of the game. This is the time for voting out strong males who will win competitions. I'm not at all impressed with these nominations. Unless Brendan wins HOH next week, he and Rachel are back on the block.
That said, Britney is REALLY annoying.
I left a comment on last Thursday's show about Rachael flashing the camera, and sure enough, the black and white replay of her jumping up after the winner announcement, was blurred, unlike the show live which was NOT blurred and showed through the color that she WAS wearing underwear of SOME sort, probably a thong since they clearly blurred her view from behind as she jumped up on Brendon and wrapped her legs around him, but what I saw was a light BLUE in color but since she was moving relatively fast, has blurred edges simply from the motion while the shutter was open. Still, it is the COLOR which indicates she is wearing some form of underwear and since they blurred her backside, it likely is a thong or something similar with a high cut side like a string bikini. By the way, after watching this episode, I think Rachael's roots are showing. I think she has dark hair, maybe as dark as black, and the red comes from a bottle. Look at Rachael's hair when you can see a headband or when she has it tightly tied up in a bun and see what YOU think. She has got to have the biggest ta-ta's since the disproportionate Barbie doll... Monet and Britney, NO surprise THERE! One thing, look at Dolly Parton (sp?) and Britney. The smile is EXACTLY the SAME crooked toothy smile!
"I really just kind of wanted to shoot myself in the face but I thought whatever, I will follow her flopping butt-cheeks all the way upstairs." - Britney
With out a doubt the best quote of the night!
I think its clear from the girl's behavior that a female will not be winning this season of BB. I'd like to see Monet kicked to the curb! As annoying as Britney is, I think she has the potential to make it far, if she plays her cards right.
@user1147 -- wow, that was quite the analysis of the underwear issue. And of course Rachel dyes her hair. That shade of red does not occur in nature.
Does anybody know why they are making Hayden wear that atrocious hairpiece?
i hate how they mix up the order of things on the broadcast show. they didnt reveal that annie was the saboteur until after the nominations. one of the reasons of putting up britney (supposedly)was because people thought it was her. needless to say, she was not happy with big brother for waiting to reveal it was annie until after she was nominated.
uh user1147, you just figured out Rachel dyes her hair? hahaha....
okay, i think Hayden is corruptible and might be more sympathetic to Rachel than is being discussed here.
Britney & Monet are 2 annoying whiny girls (but yes at least Britney has some funny one-liners, Monet is dull as dirt i've yet to see her redeeming quality she's even starting to look ugly) who would have relentlessly tried to get Rachel out of the house. So job well done, Rachel. oh except yeah, put some pants on already!!!!
Rachel is definetly starting to get somewhat unlikable. and not too bright, to boot. Originally, i was kinda cheering for her and brendon, but after an episode of killer quotes from britney, i want to see her and monet stick around for pure entertainment value, with their muppet-show judges routine.britney, shes whiny yes, but funny as hell and undeniably attractive.
speaking of big red's probable black hair, i wish someone would tell enzo to just shave off the few hundred head hairs he has left. I speak from experience.
matt's paranoia stragety backfiring on him was hilarious..good job genius!
