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.

Following Monet’s obvious eviction in Big Brother 12 Episode 7, an endurance competition for HOH began.

Brendon says that the reason he didn’t vote to keep Monet is because the house didn’t want to. As if keeping her would have been the wise move anyway.

Then there’s Kathy, who did vote against the house. Her vote didn’t make a lot of sense to me.

Kathy is the first person to fall out of the HOH competition. She pretends this is strategy, rather than just the fact that she sucks. Lane falls off shortly after her. Kristen is the third person to fall. Then Hayden, who says he threw the competition, which is more believable than Kathy. The fifth and final person to avoid the have not fate for this week is Britney, who quits yet another competition rather than being a have not for the week, not that she was going to win anyway. Everybody who remains will be a have not unless they win HOH.

Enzo’s the first of those who remain to fall in, leaving only Matt for the Brigade. Brendon follows him, and Rachel is now thinking she made a mistake last week by targeting the two chicks who hate her guts. At this point, Ragan and Andrew make a deal with each other, both ignoring the fact that there’s a third competitor on the boards with them. Matt overhears this, but he’s not interested in dealing. Andrew is the next one to drop. That means he’ll have nothing to eat for the week because slop is not kosher. If you choose not to eat the food, don’t come on the show if it’s a problem. Ragan asks for the remainder of the house to go inside so that he can chat with Matt. During this time, they decide to just keep battling. As Ragan shivers, Matt looks as comfortable as he has the entire time up there. At 2 hours and 15 minutes, Ragan falls, and Matt is the new HOH. His allies are smart enough to not be jumping up and down.

Back inside, Rachel’s crying. Again and/or still. If she does get nominated, she deserves it for calling him out last week.

Britney decides to teach Enzo how to speak properly. Well then.

The letter Matt receives from his wife supports his claim that she has melorheostosis.

As much as the rest of his alliance wants to target Brendon & Rachel, Matt is seeking revenge on those who tried to vote him out last week.

Kristen and Hayden continue to sneak around and believe their relationship is still a secret. While Hayden’s in the other room with her, the rest of the Brigade talks about their relationship. Are they the lifelong friends? For that matter, are they cousins? Whatever the case, they’re hopeful he’ll remain loyal to them rather than her.

Every time Andrew walks into a room, he interrupts Brendon and Rachel doing stuff. Not that this is difficult because they’re always doing something.

America’s choice is for what additional foods the have nots get. Baby food and bok choy. They got screwed. Fish sticks and fruitcake was much better. Then again, I don’t know, maybe baby food tastes good. Regardless, Andrew’s happy because it’s kosher.

Matt proposes to keep Brendon and Rachel safe in return for not putting him up next week. She doesn’t know if she can trust him. Based on the house meeting she called last week, it doesn’t seem he can trust her either.

Looking for a pawn, Matt wants Andrew to go up on the block. The obvious choice that the whole house would be happy with is to target Brendon and/or Rachel, but he doesn’t want to go the obvious route.

Nominations
Ragan is safe.
Kristen is safe.
Hayden is safe.
Enzo is safe.
Lane is safe.
Britney is safe.
Rachel is safe.
Brendon is safe.

Kathy and Andrew have been nominated for eviction. He once again protests too much claiming he doesn’t have any alliances. Kathy doesn’t get what seems like a revenge nomination. It’s not as if she’s a big threat, whether she voted for him or not. Andrew doesn’t get this stupid plan. Enzo wonders what the heck Matt is thinking and if he has a backdoor plan.
