'Big Brother 12': The Brigade loses a member
"Big Brother 12's" dominant alliance of the season has shown cracks in the past, but tonight those cracks become complete breaks.
Previously: Britney and Brendon made a deal; The Brigade wanted to dump Matt but he saved himself with the Diamond POV; Britney won HoH and nominated Enzo and Brendon for eviction.
Post-Nomination Reaction
Everyone except Brendon is pretty happy with the nominations, especially Matt who assures us via the diary room that everything went as he orchestrated it. Oh, the folly of the overconfident. Hayden and Lane decide that they need to make a power move in the game (considering they've done next to nothing for weeks now, and yes boys, we've noticed) and get Britney to backdoor Matt. Britney points out that it doesn't do her any good to send Matt home, considering Matt is pretty much on her side and Brendon is definitely not.
POV Competition
Brendon, Enzo, Britney, Matt, Lane and Hayden compete, leaving Ragan as the outcast host. The competition is zoo-themed, and puts the houseguests in cages like the trained little monkeys they are. (Dance, monkeys, dance!) The game revolves around punishments the houseguests can choose and endure in order to win veto points. They also can win prizes for giving up veto points. The person with the most points at the end of the competition wins the POV, and probably also gets to do fun things like bathe in chum or be a Have Not for the rest of their life. Unsurprisingly, Hayden refuses to bid on the "shaving his head" punishment. He does, however, give up points for a Hawaiian vacation and $5,000. I'm thinking Hayden isn't too concerned about winning this competition. Just a hunch.
When everything is revealed, Britney is none too pleased for several reasons. First, she has to be handcuffed to Brendon for 24 hours (ha!) and realizes that all of the prizes were taken. Interestingly, they don't reveal who wins the prizes so it leaves it up to speculation from their fellow houseguests. The final point totals show that Brendon wins POV.
While Britney has a mini-breakdown in the HoH room with Matt and Ragan, the rest of the house is downstairs railing against Matt. Humorously, they assume he won all of the prizes (while Hayden sits there and keeps his mouth shut tight, going along with the whole thing). Hee hee. Well played, Hayden. Lane goes to Britney to talk her off the ledge, and seeing as his stated loyalty is to The Brigade, he is really playing her like a fiddle. Lane has skillz, yo.
Pandora's Box
Britney gets the opportunity to open Pandora's Box in order to receive a one-hour advice session from a former Big Brother houseguest. She decides to do it, and who pops out of the box except FREAKING JESSIE. The advice he gives her? Workout advice. Poor, poor Britney. While she endures this nightmare, the rest of the house gets a luau. Pandora's Box is an evil, evil mistress.
The Punisher
Brendon and Britney have to get handcuffed together for 24 hours. Even worse, Brendon has to dunk himself in chum every hour for 24 hours, so neither of them get any sleep at all. Seriously, poor Britney! She is having the worst HoH week ever. Considering the chum isn't actually real blood and fish guts chum and is some sort of green smoothie-like concoction instead, it could be worse.
Matt's Maneuvers
Matt clearly doesn't see the writing on the wall concerning his position in The Brigade, so he decides to start campaigning against Ragan in order to get him up as a replacement nominee. This turns out to be very useful to The Brigade, as they now can use his turning against his supposed "best friend" in the house against him, as it makes him look like a total shady dude. I have to say, the three remaining Brigadiers are playing their move against Matt perfectly.
POV Ceremony
Brendon does the expected and removes himself from the block. Britney then has to name a replacement, and she has obvious emotion while putting Matt up in Brendon's place. Will Matt realize what's going on with The Brigade? Will he try to make a move? I can't wait for tomorrow's DOUBLE EVICTION EPISODE (!!!) to find out. See you then!

I swear to god I can watch Enzo all freaking day. yo.. man cracks me up.
YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!
Since it's obvious that Matt is going home tonight, he has nothing to loss but to reveal the Brigade names to the rest of the HGs. It would really be sweet revenge for Matt since the sorry Brigade decided to backdoor him.
I hope Ragan goes home too! Buy him a box of kleenex. He should have his own reality show called
"Always crying". I hope that Brendon wins!
That was an absolutely retarded move by Britney. She will probably be the other person going home tonight unfortunately.
This episode was actually entertaining. Britney probably had the worst HOH week of any past HOHs. Jesse, really!!!
Things could not have worked out better for Brendan. I guess he'll be taking Matt's place as the 4th Brigade member. Im glad the house turned on Matt as he had it comming.
I too am thrilled for tonight's double eviction!!!
yes, i agree. matt should reveal the brigade. then team up with btitt, brenden, and ragan getting enzo out. thus, leaving lane and hayden alone!!
Matt trying to jump back with the brigade was bizarre. especially the timing. its not like him to be so out of touch with whts going on in the house.
he looked so haunted during the replacement nominations, like he'd just spent 24 hrs watching snuff videos.
ragan is right. it doesnt look good for him and britney.
Im sure matt will be doing a lot of whining about how if he gets voted out, his wife is as good as dead.
are enzo and brendan bonding? who knew!
was it just me, or did jesse call britney, "t*ts."?
i could of swore that he said, "feel the burn,,,t*ts!"
anyone catch that?
and why DID britny opens pandoras box? An hour's worth of advice from a former housegeust does not seem worth a 50% chance of something bad happening to you.
Brendon and Enzo all the way to the end!!!
While I was angry at the brigade for not doing anything, I realized that they are. Their votes have dictated who leaves each week. At least Enzo has some game. Hayden should be out. He's a waste of energy. Ragan turned out to be just an emotional player. He's so disappointing.
