Andrew got voted out in Big Brother 12 Episode 10, but not before blowing the lid off Hayden and Kristen’s “secret” relationship. Then it was time for the HOH competition, where Rachel won again.

Kristen doesn’t seem to understand what happened. They were so careful, what with their making out when somebody else was in the room.

Hayden and Kristen call Andrew a liar, protesting too much. Nobody’s buying their protests. Regardless, nobody took it into account when they were voting.

Rachel warns the floaters they’d better grab a life vest, namely Kristen, who is a floater because she hasn’t won any competitions. Wait. What? Now the definition of a floater is somebody who doesn’t win anything? Furthermore, winning HOH apparently makes somebody smart. This is all part of the cat fight in the middle of the boxing ring after HOH. Everybody else is happy. Not only are they entertained, but the two couples are all after each other, thereby reducing the targets on everybody’s backs.

Kristen told Rachel three days ago that she was not sure what she would do if she wins. Rachel’s interpretation: Kristen said she would put her and Brendon up. Who wouldn’t? Well, Matt, apparently.

Rachel intends to be the biggest bitch that Big Brother has ever seen. She’s well on her way then.

The Brigade wants to get Hayden’s girlfriend out of the game so that his loyalty to them is reaffirmed.

Hayden apologizes to Rachel. Rachel apologizes to Kristen. Kristen does not, however, apologize, nor accept any apology. She also does not want to see Rachel’s HOH room. The others at least play nice and go up and see her room, while gagging in the process.

Once again, Kathy does not get that hanging out with outcasts is not doing her any favors. Having been nominated last week apparently did not teach her a lesson.

The houseguests report to the living room to be greeted by Will Ferrell and Marky Mark for a promotion for The Other Guys. This is Big Brother’s definition of luxury. They split up into teams of three, then they walk out and see crime scene tape, police cars, and other things that make Kathy smile. The object is to get through an obstacle course.

Red team: Britney, Lane, and Matt
Yellow team: Kristen, Kathy, and Ragan
Green team: Brendon, Enzo, and Hayden

Red team has Lane the mule leading them, as they drag Britney along for the ride. The yellow team is on a leisurely Sunday drive. Ragan says it’s like Weekend at Bernie’s, where they’re just carrying around a dead body because they’re stuck with Kathy. The green team should be able to win this, having the deck pretty well stacked in their favor.

Red: 52 seconds
Yellow: a humiliating 2 minutes, 18 seconds
Green: 47 seconds

By a narrow margin, Brendon, Enzo, and Hayden win the competition and will be able to see the movie, along with HOH Rachel. That means that Brendon and Rachel get to go on their first date.

Rachel and Britney take a bath together, where they bad mouth Kristen. It’s almost like having Monet back, except in this case Britney hates Rachel still.

Kristen doesn’t want to talk to the HOH to plead her case. As if she has a case. Hayden convinces her otherwise. Her case is basically that Rachel still does not have her facts straight, and if she does nominate her, revenge will be sought. After their conversation, Rachel says she’s not sure if she wants to nominate Kristen. Really? After all that?

Nominations
Brendon is safe.
Britney is safe.
Ragan is safe.
Lane is safe.
Enzo is safe.
Matt is safe.
Kathy is safe.
Hayden and Kristen have been nominated for eviction. Obviously.

Rachel tells them they’re not doing much, and they’re gunning for her, so bring it. Brendon wants Rachel to play nice. By doing what she’s doing, all she’s doing is making their target even bigger than it already was to begin with. Lane wants Hayden to end what he’s got going with Kristen, whatever it is.

Brendon won veto in Big Brother 12 Episode 9, thereby ruining everybody’s plans, or lack thereof. So tonight, one of two floaters, neither of whom is actually a floater, will be sent packing.

Rachel’s angry about Andrew’s speech. Brendon promised he would keep it a secret. That didn’t last very long. The rest of the house believes that Rachel was just acting. They think wrong, as usual.

Trying to patch things up with Rachel, Brendon tells her he loves her. She does not care.

Kathy is working as much of a sob story as she can muster.

Andrew has a warning for Kathy and Kristen. Don’t play him like a fiddle. What’s the point of this, dude? Kristen and Andrew both blame each other for not talking to each other. He doesn’t get that he can’t be waiting for people to come talk to him when he’s up on the block. This leads to a loud shouting match. Let’s see how loudly Kristen can scream.

Matt proposes that Andrew may be worth keeping because he’s a big target, whereas nobody notices Kathy.

The houseguests will be granted a one week break from the thoroughly pointless have not twist for this week.

Matt’s wife says that he’s extremely intelligent but lacks common sense.

Matt says that, if there is a weak link in his alliance, it’s Hayden, who may well be hooking up with his possible secret friend and/or cousin Kristen. In his pre-vote speech, Andrew reveals their relationship, which he overheard due to their excessively poor inability to understand the concept of the term secret.

But wait. There’s more. Kristen does not like the way Britney talks. She thinks Ragan is in her pocket. Hayden does love Lane… but he’s just taking him to drop him at fourth or fifth. The things they said about Enzo’s intelligence were wrong. Oh, and Hayden, you gotta get out of this relationship now. Awesome speech, but it’s a little late.

Votes
Kristen: Andrew
Rachel: Andrew
Britney: Andrew
Enzo: Andrew
Brendon: Andrew
Lane: Andrew
Hayden: Andrew
Ragan: Andrew

By a vote of 8-0, Andrew has been evicted. Hell of a way to leave the house, though.

Rachel’s a bitch to yet another departing houseguest, once again saying that he’s not getting in between her and Brendon.

The HOH competition is a series of questions based on previous competitions. They will take turns in pairs, and whoever is right will eliminate their opponent and choose the next two contenders. This should offer some insight into who wants to get rid of whom.

Hayden and Britney go first. Hayden answers correctly. Brendon and Rachel are up next. Rachel answers correctly. Kristen and Hayden go next, an indication that perhaps Andrew’s speech may have had an impact. Kristen answers correctly. Kathy and Rachel are next. Kathy answers incorrectly. Kristen and Enzo are next. Kristen answers correctly. Rachel and Ragan are next. Rachel answers correctly. Kristen and Lane are next. Lane answers correctly. Lane and Rachel are the final two. Rachel answers correctly to win HOH.

A new saboteur may be unleashed on the house based on America’s vote. Hey, CBS. Didn’t you get the memo? Your twist was stupid and failed miserably. Do we really need to relive it?

Following Matt’s HOH win in Big Brother 12 Episode 8, he chose to nominate Andrew and Kathy.

Nobody understands Matt’s nominations, not the nominees, not those who are against him, not those who are in his alliance. I’m pretty sure even Matt doesn’t understand what he just did.

Hayden wants the nominations to change so that Brendon can go home.

Rachel puts peaches in the iced tea, which apparently causes Andrew to become possessed. He says that this means the have nots cannot drink it, so like every other action Rachel makes in the house, it bites him. He couldn’t stand to be in an alliance with her, although he’d like to be with Brendon.

Seeing as his whole alliance wants the backdoor to happen, Matt seems to be onboard with it.

Andrew’s a neat freak. He’s cleaning everything, whether it’s dirty or clean. And he dresses like a ninja while he’s praying. Lane didn’t realize that Jews dressed up like ninjas. That’s what he likes about this show, learning about different cultures.

It’s time to pick players for the veto competition.

Matt chooses Brendon at random. Nice pick.
Kathy picks Lane at random.
Andrew picks Rachel at random. Well, that didn’t work out too well.

Enzo is dressed up like a genie. He leads them outside where they are given 10 minutes to look at items. To earn a point, they must be closest to the amount of objects. They can stay or fold. So basically the strategy is as usual, folding every time and letting people drop. Brendon, Andrew, Kathy, and Rachel fold the first round. Matt scores a point, and Lane is eliminated. In the second round, Brendon and Kathy fold. Andrew scores a point, and Matt is eliminated. There goes the Brigade. Andrew and Rachel fold in the third round. Brendon gets a point to tie it 1-1, and Kathy is eliminated. Rachel and Brendon fold in the next round, giving Andrew the lead 2-1. Rachel and Andrew fold, giving Brendon the 2-2 tie. Everybody stays the final time. Brendon is closest, and he wins the power of veto.

Time to figure out plan B. There is no plan B. There really wasn’t a plan A, although Matt insists his target all along was Brendon. Whatever happens, it’s just a wasted week.

It goes without saying that Brendon is not going to use the power of veto. If he did, they’d just nominate Rachel and screw him over, not that she’s not weighing him down. At the veto meeting, Andrew announces that he’s going after Brendon and Rachel, a fake ploy of desperation. Oh, and by the way, Brendon, since I’m coming after you, please use the veto on me. The veto is not played.
