Keeping with this season’s theme of targeting lame showmances, Rachel nominated Kristen & Hayden in Big Brother 12 Episode 11.

Brendon asks Rachel to start thinking before she speaks. Seems she was trying to take a page out of Janelle’s playbook when she used the phrase “bring it on.” He doesn’t want her to be upset with him. She is. Again. Dude, give it up. You’re not gonna like this chick when you’re out of the house, and she’s killing your game. Rachel agrees to apologize, although it’s not taken as sincere by Hayden. Regardless, she anticipates some pity from Brendon, which is not forthcoming.

It’s time for the veto competition.

Rachel chooses Britney at random.
Hayden chooses Ragan at random.
Kristen chooses Enzo at random.

Rachel doesn’t think Britney would use the veto. Hayden doesn’t think Ragan would use the veto. Enzo has no intention of using the veto, and he will be fine with Kristen’s elimination.

They walk outside to wizards and pinball. They are granted one shot on a giant pinball table for each round to try to hit the veto mark in the center. The eliminated players will win prizes, which they can keep or exchange with somebody else.

Britney mocks Brendon’s hosting ability because she can then scores a 5. Kristen scores a 2. Hayden gets a perfect shot, and so do Rachel, Ragan, and Enzo. Kristen is the first one out, and she’s got the power of veto. Hayden scores a 5 to start off round 2. Rachel gets a 5 as well. Ragan bounces in and out to get stuck with a 1. Enzo scores a 6. Britney scores a 2. That’s enough for Ragan to be eliminated, and he receives a veto ticket, which guarantees a spot in next week’s veto competition. Rachel scores a 6 in round 3. Enzo gets a 1. Britney gets a 6. Hayden makes a perfect shot, eliminating Enzo, who receives a 3D flat screen TV. Britney makes a perfect shot to start round 4. Hayden gets a perfect shot, too. Rachel scores a 6. Close but not good enough, and she must take a prize that has been selected. That person she takes the prize from will be given a second chance and return to the pinball game. She takes the veto ticket, and Ragan is back. Hayden gets a 6. Ragan scores a 1. Yeah, Rachel probably should have picked somebody who doesn’t suck. Britney gets a perfect shot. Ragan is eliminated again, and he earns $5,000, which he can keep or give away at any time. He doesn’t want that target on his back, so he trades the money to Rachel for the veto ticket. She doesn’t want the money either and begs him to reconsider. Britney makes a perfect shot in the final round. Hayden gets a 5. After he is eliminated, Hayden wins the hippie-tard for a week. He’ll give Kristen that in exchange for the veto. Britney’s prize is solitary confinement for 24 hours. Having just taken the veto, Hayden will now head to solitary confinement, as Britney wins veto.

Kristen’s crying after the competition. So are their lies about supposedly not being an item over now?

After 24 whole hours, Hayden walks out of solitary. It seems he believes that he and Kristen are still hiding what they have. Nobody’s buying it. Nobody really was buying it before either.

Hayden has an offer for Britney: use the veto so that Kathy goes up, and he and Kristen will have her back to the end. Britney wants him to talk Rachel and Brendon into putting Kathy on the block. He suggests having a couples alliance, which he has no intention of sticking by. Rachel doesn’t believe he’s really going to go against all of his friends just to ally with her and Brendon.

When Britney talks to Rachel, she changes her tune. Perhaps she’s not going to put up Kathy. How about Lane?

At the veto ceremony, Hayden promises saving him will help her. Kristen says she’s on the block but didn’t do anything to deserve it (uh, you had a “secret” showmance that you kept secret by making out with other people in the room). Britney has opted to not use the power of veto on either of them.

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.
