Post by bunniefuu »

previously on Big Brother Matt opened Pandora's Box earning

himself a special power Behold The Diamond power of veto thank you the

Brigade continued to secretly dominate the game you got Lane controlling Brittany you got Maddie controlling

Reagan you add it all up we decide who stays and who goes and the brains of the

operation had his mind set on tearing the showmance apart Rachel and Brendan have nominated you both for eviction

don't have it in me anymore I do every day is the fight to stay I feel like

roadkill accepting their fate Brendan decided to sacrifice himself for his

lady I really am gonna try to keep you here to protect you I really want Rachel to

stay in this house she deserves it to do that I might have to do something drastic and his mission was to become

Public Enemy Number One you are a spoiled brat and you are selfish you

went from being like her best friend to being or I don't get it I'm not being an elephant

hit you but the southern girl didn't back down yeah

really do it three foot nothing yeah yeah oh three for nothing you think I'm scared

Brigade debated who should stay and who should go I think if we keep Rachel in his house she could do a lot of Dirty

Work do you trust racial 100 that's what I'm saying and I don't know but when the votes were revealed Brendan's attempt to

save his soul mate fell short Rachel you are evicted from the Big Brother house

with revenge on his mind Brendan took on the house in a battle of endurance

who will become the new head of household and who will they nominate for eviction find out tonight on Big Brother

you're in Neanderthal first of all it's pronounced neanderthal

foreign

[Music] first person to get their Rope free and

clear of the web and Buzz in will be the new HOH this person will have the honor

of picking three house guests to be the have-nots for the week

and get ready because this competition begins now

I know it's me against the house I'm the only one who can keep me safe all I can

think about is that all these people just sent home the love of my life and that I am fighting for Rachel because

she's not here but that pushes me even harder I have to win this HOH

the Brigade is always in danger if some outside of the Brigade doesn't win a competition Brigade however has some problems

winning competitions particularly when I can't compete so I'm hoping they can pull this one through and do me a favor

for once everyone in this house is against bernin going into the competition I'm just

really focused on winning at the same time I know that at this point Brendan knows that he's fighting for his life

and he's going to be trying as hard as he can too come on baby Sweetie rage

by a vote of six to zero Rachel you are

evicted from the Big Brother house [Music]

I expected it to be a 6-0 vote for me to be evicted everyone knew that I wanted

Rachel to stay so it's definitely spitting in both of our faces I know it's going to be really tough to

not have Rachel in here because all I can think about is how much I miss her

already [Music]

guest is leaving directly because of me this time it's Rachel I do want to get Brendan out next like it's great that

he'll probably be going home but it's you know it's unfortunate that I won't really have a direct hand in it

I love you [Music]

don't be sorry win a choice right now y'all better be ready ready

everyone Rachel left you would see the house scattered like c*ck

no one wanted to be around Brendan because he's a ticking Time b*mb now he Reagan and Brittany are coming up trying

to hide behind me I'm not no bodyguard people come on you

know it's just Brennan he can't k*ll you in here I just didn't want to stay nothing with him that myself

I want to be around Brendan because obviously he's attacked me a couple of times this week everyone in the house is tired of him his behavior is just

disgusting and repulsive we are just sick of seeing his face it's personal now you

know it says

we have ropes we got hay we got mud out there that looks like manure people

that's Saturday night for me I do that on a daily basis I think I'm gonna blow this out of the park

foreign conditions in this competition because

not only are you trying to untie all these knots but the mud's just getting everywhere in your face and your eyes

and your mouth not to mention that the Rope is just soaked in the mud

my back is hurting the Rope is soaking wet and as I'm trying to you know lug it

around and and up and over the other ropes I was getting winded

the Miami I was a clean cat you know he doesn't want to get dirty you know there's a lot of mud there you know

there was rocks in the mud it was a city kid's nightmare out there

what am I supposed to do with this right because I'm having so much trouble here I don't even know which way is up

the biggest challenge of this competition is trying to figure out where to go next the ropes are tied in

such a way that sometimes you have to untie a knot that's in front of you to get to a knot that's behind you I feel

constantly turned around I don't know where I'm going

business

come on let's see so this one's just one second

all I can think about is how much I want to make it to the end how Rachel would be so proud of me no matter how tired

I'm getting and how Tangled that rope's getting she'd be yelling for me she'd be screaming for me she'd be telling me I

could do it so I'm pushing on through

[Music] a pretty good lead normally of course I

want the Brigade to win but uh this week if Brendan wins I think that'll be just

fine because of me and uh Brendan and Hayden made an arrangement before the HOH

foreign

[Music]

right now I'm trusting Hayden the most because our other two Brigade members have a side Alliance and they might be

getting in too deep the plan is we're gonna go propose a deal with Brendan we'll make a side Alliance me Brendan

and Hayden and if one of us wins HOH we're putting up Brittany and Reagan so

we can trim the fat and get the Brigade back to what it was

naturally [Music]

it has to be Brittany [Music]

like I like to see if you you will need to speak what word [Music]

thank you good evening today

foreign [Music]

I hear grunting I hear yelling I hear half crying I think when Rachel left

when she hugged him she stabbed him with the syringe of rabies Brendan you gotta

be put down this next week

Brendan taking the lead makes me want to lay my face down in the mud puddle sucking a bunch of air and k*ll myself

thank you a little bit of a bind

I was going toe-to-toe with Kathy to sheriff you know my main motivation was

to get past Kathy come on Enzo is slowly approaching that role of

just being a completely worthless competitor in the game of Big Brother I can't I can't get crazy

neck and neck with Kathy with Kathy that's ridiculous it's Preposterous of

all the people to be neck and neck with in the house it's Kathy we're so scared I just I just don't understand dude I

don't either this is too complicated for my mind then the difficult part for me was trying to

figure out what to do right now I'm losing funny sales I don't even know how to tie one of those knots more or less

untie one of those knots they didn't teach me anything like that in the police academy on uh [Music]

[Music]

this sucks

Brittany and Reagan we're just an emotional mess throwing ropes down Britney's mascara is running I guess it

was kind of funny but it was also very sad on many many levels

my big giant mass of rope has become ridiculously entangled and I can't

figure out where it's coming out where it's ending so it's freaking me out and Lane was not too far behind he was only

two or three squares back I see Brendan and he's caught dead in

his tracks you know he can't get past this one knot I'm ducking and Diving I'm thinking Brendan watch out I'm coming

through and I'm touching the button

I see that lane is the next closest to Brendan and my hopes and the rest of the

hopes for the entire house now I'll rest on Lane shoulders Elaine's catching up to me and this

giant massive rope is just getting more and more Tangled and I'm starting to freak out a little bit I know that if I don't win this competition right now

there's a good chance I'm going home just do a die for me I'm even telling myself I'm doing this for Rachel I'm

doing this for Rachel [Music]

I know at this point I'm just really stuck this knot is just k*lling me and see Lane catching up to me at the corner

of my eye fighting everyone keep fighting

I want this competition so bad I see

Brendan he's he's not at all up he has foam coming out of his mouth so right now I'm thinking I got a couple more

knots lane and then you're pushing the button get the key go upstairs lay down don't let anyone in your room and read

your letter

all of a sudden like a giant cloud of focus comes over me I finally got it

[Music]

my heart is racing I know everyone's after me I mean I'm the biggest Target in the house right now if I don't win

this I'm gone foreign

was for you yeah yes people picked the wrong two people to mess with all we want to do is be

happy and be in love that wasn't good enough for him so guess what now it's their turn to dance for me so what

happened with you to fix somebody you love guys can you remember you're nice too who

you're not to once again the Brigade doesn't pull

through and win the HOH competition I just gotta hope that the deal I made at the Neanderthal stays true and that none

of us are Targets this week congrats man handing the key over to Brennan was not

fun I mean you know it's the last person I wanted to give that key to Brigade get your act together I can't carry all the

weight on this Alliance all right I guess I'll be picking three odd knots for the week go ahead and choose

Reagan Brittany and Matt enjoy it does piss me off that Brennan

made me a have-not again and also Reagan now for the third time but you know do

you expect a person like brynden to play nice no I mean I knew as soon as he won

that competition was going to be I have not I don't think I can do this

I mean to make me a have-not a third time the Big Brother karmic forces are

out to play and to knock me down a peg you guys would have been better keeping Rachel she probably wouldn't have won that one

your mistake this house has created a monster and I'm not backing down and showing Mercy to those people who are

merciless When Rachel was at her lowest point these people had no mercy last week why should I show it this week

[Music]

Rachel's happy for sure I'm so happy that I won but the one person I want to share it with is not

here to share it with me and that is very hard because all I can think about is what a huge part of my life that

Rachel is that's what's pushing me in this game [Music]

you're right man what do you guys [Music]

however you know you know before somebody goes and it's not me I

don't care [Music] normally of course I want the Brigade to

win but I hope Brendan honors the deal that we had going into this competition I hope I'm safe but you never know you

really never know I mean at least we can live nearly next week it's 100 certain if you can't let you know we're gonna

have a little drama this week that's a little laugh I'm I'm gonna laugh It's Entertainment

I think it's easier to be positive about it when you don't think your own home huh

of course Enzo is fine with it I would be fine with it too if it meant that I was just going to be able to kiss his

butt and Float through all week long I was the only person last week who decided to stand up to him and say

something to his face about the way that he treats people and where did it get me but a huge Target on my back

Brigade has a lot of power in this game we control a lot of the votes so if I can persuade the Brigade to keep

Brittany you know that's what I'm going to be doing you know I think Britney's a good girl and I think she can help us a lot in this game so I'm going to be

working my hardest to keep Brittany here

[Music] and I'm trying to hold it together in

here I cannot eat I cannot take showers I'm gonna be on the Vlog I have to deal with the freaking Neanderthal and it's

gonna be really freaking tough be cool

[Music]

[Music] Miracles can happen that's what it would take the hardest part for me is just

like swallowing my pride now he has the power and everybody's gonna be nice to him

when someone has okay if he ever did that to me I would be behaving differently than I currently am I know

what you guys thinking I'm sucking up to him foreign

because of the odds of one of us going on we're great one of us

that I'm waiting on to know that I value

and me too [Music] I'm sitting as having our room knowing

that I have this diamond power veto and that I'm not going anywhere and then I'm with Brittany and Reagan who are just

emotional wrecks I mean just totally devastated and torn apart they're swapping the kleenex box back and forth

crying and I'm sitting in the other couch I'm just like oh my God being with them too it's like being with a couple of girls I'm honored

but I have not room for the reasons why we're in it and with the three of us

and it ain't over [Applause] [Music]

who wants to see my HOH room all right not really anybody I'd rather fall down

and spiral staircase and break my neck and make it all the way up to the HOH room and have to look at his stuff go

away all right all right guys all right we got a lot of stuff nice

look at that oh this is my mom and this is me as a baby

we were amazed to see that he has a family he's not cloned he was not made

in a scientific lab he came from somebody oh he does got a picture of

Rachel yeah now that I'm in this side of lines for Brendan I gotta pretend that I'm into

his stuff oh that's cool I gotta hear his stories and all the big words that he's gonna use I gotta listen to so you

know that's what I got to do now sweet is this those are my two nieces

look at this picture and Kathy both just make me

talk but to Brendan look it's a picture right there oh that's my niece yeah they're in no danger I don't understand

their motive for going up there and falling all over themselves for him letters yes letter

okay so this is my sister definitely uh dear Brendan it is odd to not have you

around the house these days Kayla and Alex are both doing well although I know that they both miss having you around I

know that Caitlyn was just getting used to her uncle uh Brendan she couldn't say uncle so she kept saying hunko

[Music] we cry

I didn't want to be there this is somebody who has bullied me all week

long and I don't want to help him celebrate a victory that will possibly most likely see me walk out of the door

you guys enjoy

[Music]

great that went really well uh yeah it did didn't it good job teammate [Music]

how is it my fault it even true do I now account for 75 of the team is

that how it works I made as many both as you did I'm pretty sure we finished with about I'm more talented you're stupid

Love Lane he's like my little Big Brother Lane Lane

ow

Brittany and I's relationship is basically like Raisin Bran

I'm the delicious raisin and she's gonna be the brand is it brand

it's not brand is it cookies what is it what's the little cereal crap in there

get out of here that was stupid that was smart that was the dumbest thing I have ever seen I hate myself for knowing you

foreign [Music]

[Music]

foreign yeah oh yeah you know what I mean

yeah we gotta go Hampton and chop up their lines bring the Brigade back and

they bring breadth in it we got to think long and hard about this but we have to do what's best for us yo

if we play on cards right though bro we can do this but we're gonna have to get dirty

[Music]

um all right dude well I mean obviously you know you're cool just say good night and put you up cool cool man I'm sweating I

know right so I mean the bottom line is I think I'm gonna end up putting up lane

and Brittany Lane's probably gonna try to fly under

the radar as long as you can and then pop up in the end as competitor when Brendan dropped the b*mb on me

about putting a blade I was like where did this come from I'm almost scared of Brittany and Lee because Brittany

absolutely because towards the end it's more quizzes I think I mean if she knows everybody she knows like everything

about everyone you know what I mean yeah you know I thought it was supposed to be Reagan and Brittany I thought that was

the plan I kept trying to drop that seed you know I'm pretty sure I hope he's not you know trying to uh take Lane out

I know Lane is is good with Brittany but Matt Reagan are definitely the tightest

but I I if you asked me I don't I don't like Brittany or Reagan I just think uh I don't know man I just

don't trust him but no I don't either I don't either I don't trust either one of them I I Britney runs from power to

power and so that's what she does so and Reagan same deal Reagan Reagan I just don't have as much respect for in terms

of competitiveness because I feel like it's behind my mat yes and as much as I would like to get rid of everybody

that's not competing and just have it athletes and competitors a week at a time yeah it's like I gotta play to keep

myself in this game too so so you gotta like you know brand new some people in this house too because you're not able

to do this next week the hardest decision today is figuring out who is my biggest threat I need to make

sure I make it through another week but also I want to stay true to Rachel and I I mean we said that we don't want floaters here that we want people who

are here to compete all right [Music]

what do you say

[Music] I don't even like the idea that he's putting you up as a point why would he

do that you know why is he not going to breathe I don't know

something totally different I'm a very calm man but when Enzo came up to me and said Brittany was thinking about putting

me on the Block I wanted to go to a bar find the hottest girl there and fight

her boyfriend [Music]

Reagan please go to the diary room

[Music]

let's see what's going on in the world of Saboteur Ashley C from Facebook

thinks that I should make people think that there is a ghost in the house I

don't know that's too weird I mean there have definitely been people who have been evicted from this house I don't

think anybody has died yet foreign s that I tell everyone that there's a

secret Alliance and that I will expose them when the time is right I like this

suggestion what I like most about it is I can tie it back to one of Annie's messages about there being lifelong

friends in the house people still talk about the secret friendship and this would be a golden opportunity to get

that paranoia back in people's heads [Music]

somebody [Music]

a little house guests looks like you were unsuccessful getting me out of the game

but I have more bad news you also have not been successful at

relocating or evicting the lifelong friends

sometimes the least obvious pair is the most obvious [Music]

ah well that leaves me for it okay

according to him it's one of you two and someone I swear to God on my life and my kid's

life I know nobody in here I will give the same swear I swear to God on my relationship on my family on my brother

on everything that it's not me [Music]

sounds like somebody said was really sick it's pretty sorry that's totally

throwing me and Kathy under the bus exactly The Saboteur is getting on my nerves

today it had to draw attention to me and Brittany you're already playing hard and you're playing a game and then when this

psychopath comes up and says something and it puts attention to you it kind of

just gets under your skin wow what is going on I think this whole message is alive

because I know that I'm not a part of the pair and I don't believe that Kathy is a part of the pair either come on

Salvatore is not lie to us what are you talking about both the girls are swearing on their loved ones that they

don't know anyone else in this house I'm sure that you're also going to swear on a stack of Bibles that you're not The

Saboteur when you are too so I don't believe anyone in here this is crazy

a new Saboteur is in the Big Brother house and they're taking directives from you America go to cbs.com

bbtwist to send in your sabotage suggestions then tune in Wednesday at 8

7 Central to see The Saboteur in action [Music]

I think it's going to be Reagan something disgusting I agree so they

have nots are myself Brittany and Reagan and we cannot wait to find out when America has voted for us to eat this week I think it's gonna be some frog

chicken nuggets crab cakes would be awesome it's gonna be applesauce and apricot but it's live

rattlesnake and kelp da or high it's gonna be snails

what do we got what do we got having ideas eggplants [Music]

[Applause] this is not good

I see eggplant and a*s cargo um s cargo is like a fancy pants word

for snail I've never had escargot never had eggplants never want to have either of them oh stinks I smelt the escargot

it smells like dirt like real dirt America bad choice this is not good America has once again voted for a treat

that you can enjoy anytime in addition to slob have-nots this eggplant and escargot Extravaganza is just for you

I'm not too upset about the eggplant I think I can handle it oh it looks like a

piece of brain that's disgusting the snails are freaking disgusting there's no way one of those is coming near my

mouth oh man pretty bad the food is pretty bad

I don't eat eggplant and I don't eat snails come on America

get it get it disgusting [Music]

oh foreign [Music]

I just don't know how we get on this week gearing up is just not an option

period see if you were a logical player I really don't think that we're the two

smartest targets he doesn't understand the interactional

elements of this game he doesn't get it maybe he didn't get it because he was

wrapped up in his racial world and now that she's there it might have been clear right [Music]

we haven't really seen Brendan play this game we've seen Brennan and Rachel play this game right

but see the thing I think that we both have in our favor is when we make deals

we actually go through with them and that's been proven in this game yes

it is so do you think I should talk to him oh undoubtedly I think he should

put yourself if I fall into the mix of being saved by your talks great but don't focus on me

get yourself out of the room I honestly from where I'm seated it's a package deal Reagan

being the good Showman's partner that he is was going to go uh fight a battle for his man he was going to go upstairs and

try and uh talk Brendan out of putting both me and him up on benaught to Reagan I have the diamond power veto so I

didn't really need that kind of help so I just had to convince Reagan I'll worry about me if I need to but uh you just

got to take care of yourself right now you need to save yourself in any way possible and I will worry about myself

by trying to win the video foreign

[Music]

okay when people have gone through a major

argument in the house yeah that's a huge opportunity I know and I do agree with

you on that if we wanted to move forward together in this game yeah

nobody would suspect it yeah in a million years yeah I totally agree and I

100 swear to you that you will not go up as an initial nominee okay or back door

okay if I were to go up on the Block against Matt or Brittany or whoever I'm certain

that I would go yeah so we are in very similar boats sure right now I agree

Reagan makes me a very compelling offer saying that we could have an alliance and no one would realize it because we

did get a huge blowout fight last week so it's a good opportunity but if you spit on the girl that I love when she

was at her lowest point in this game this is something I can't forget this is the type of move that is brilliant in

the game yeah recognizing that is going to be pretty important [Music]

I don't know what the going on now

hey Brett you can talk don't talk real fast

what Reagan had to say was really interesting but I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket I'm gonna bring

Brittany up and see what she has to say tell me why should I not put you up

Brennan I'm dying to stay in this game I will do whatever I have to do

I want to be here if I don't get nominated and I get paid to play veto I'm gonna play for that

freaking veto okay hard you have somebody in your corner playing

for that veto and I can trust you on that you can trust me on that

my back is completely against the wall so I'm telling him what he needs to hear to keep myself in the game I have no

intentions of keeping my word ultimately I'm competing for half a million dollars and I'm not gonna let cankelsaurus Rex

get in the way of that for me I mean if I don't put you up and say I would put a plane

you win the power veto you're going to want to use the powerbeat on Lanes

if I don't nominate you if you win next week

am I safe what you do will do for me I will do for you

[Music]

one of my duties as head of householders to nominee two people for eviction

foreign I am about 100 sure that I'm going up on

the Block because I stood up to Brennan last week when nobody else would it sucks to have your worst enemy in the

house have power over you but what can I do about it

I have a bad gut feeling that I'm about to go up on the Block but I trust my

boys in the in the Brigade so if anything happens I know they got my back

I'm the only person who would tell Brendan that I would make a deal with

him and actually keep that deal but Brendan is not a very logical player in

this game he does things out of cowardice and I think that this decision is going to be no different

[Music] I know I'm Brandon's number one Target but I have this diamond power veto

sitting in my hands just you still it weighs on your shoulders I'd rather just be safe right off the bat and not even

go on the Block now that Rachel's men evicted from the

Big Brother house I have a huge decision to make do I do what's best for me in this game or do I get revenge for the

woman that I love [Music]

foreign [Music] [Applause]

for the nomination ceremony

[Music]

[Music]

this is the nomination ceremony as head of household one of my duties is to denominate two people for eviction

I'll pull the first key and that person's safe and they will pull the second key and so on and so forth

[Music] Enzo you're safe from eviction thank you

[Music] Kathy USA

[Music] Heidi yourself thank you very late

Brittany [Music]

now you're safe explain

I've nominated you Reagan and you Lane for eviction uh guys this is the toughest decision

I've had to make since I've been in this house but you guys will definitely get a chance to

fight to stay in this game and I have confidence in both you guys I want this

competition to be about competitors I want people to fight to be here I want people to fight to the end and I want

the last two people standing to be the two people who deserve to be here nobody Falls by everybody fights to win

this nomination ceremony is a joke [Music]

I'm turning down my offer boggles my mind he's facing decisions solely on

wanting to avenge somebody that he knew for around a month

I think this is the dumbest move Brennan has made yet and he's made a lot of dumb

moves in this game I'm gonna get off the block I have the votes in Brendan and I will stay in this game until you're gone

the Brigade took a hit I don't know what this sneak's trying to do but I'm furious right now

I'm shocked I I honestly can't believe it that there is bad blood between the two of us I really don't trust Brandon

at all and I think that his odd nominations are just part of his bigger plan

this is my house they're playing by my rules I'm doing this for me I'm doing this for Rachel I don't care if they

don't like my decisions they're gonna have to live with them who will win the power of veto and will

it be used to save either lane or Reagan from eviction and what will Pandora's

Box unleash on the house find out Wednesday at 8 7 Central on Big

Brother [Music]
