Big Brother- Breaking Up the Brigade

Spoiler alert...Below are some thoughts on the sixth week of Big Brother. So watch the eps, promise someone your first born child, then read what I had to say.

Lane- "You just ruined my speech when you did that, man."

Lane complains to Matt about ruining his pre-planned 'on the block' speech in the quote above. Matty did indeed use the Diamond Power of Veto, but was it really the biggest move in Big Brother (or whatever Chen-bot referred to it as)? How is it that much better than last year's 'Coop dee Tot'? Didn't Jeff get to pick two new nominees?!? The most influential move I can remember in the four years or so I've been watching is when the house guests voted to bring Crazy James back into the house immediately after eliminating him. He continued to wreak havoc on the house and made it much further than plenty of the people that elected to bring him back in.

Whatever the case may be, this was a huge moment in this season of Big Brother. The Brigade stayed in tact for yet another week, but more importantly Matty missed out on yet another opportunity to make a serious move in this game. I was all ready to take back the bad things I said earlier in the season about his game play, but then he plays it safe once again and picks Kathy as the replacement.

Enzo- "It might be time for Matty to get whacked here."

Sure Matty didn't hear that quote, but he was absolutely on the right track when he was feeling out his fellow Brigade members, and then realized they were going to vote him out over Lane. This is what I've been talking about for weeks now. At some point these four dudes are going to have to turn on each other, and it should've started now! You put Hayden or Enzo up as your replacement, one of them goes home and you have only two left. You have Ragan on your side and who knows what way Brittany and Kathy will sway. Either way, it's better than being the fourth wheel in the Brigade. Opportunity lost.

The other major event of the week was of course the cage fight to the death between Rachel and Ragan. After Rachel gets back into the house for 24 hours because Brendon opened another Pandora's Box, Ragan was too ready to throw down. I'm all about hating Rachel, but to be fair she did nothing but act super obnoxious when she re-entered the house. When she screams "I'm back b*tches!" she is ridiculous, but she's not being mean. Ragan get off of Nate Ravitz's high horse and realize what is going on around you. You just went nuts because you don't like her. Sure she started saying mean things once the fight started, like "Do you have to be the biggest b*tch because you're gay?", but you are the one that lit the entire altercation. Ragan went from being a run of the mill annoying guy in the house, to one of my least favorites of the season over one conversation.

And the week ended on a positive, as ma girl Brittany wins the HoH competition. I'm excited to see who she puts up for eviction. Brendon has to be a top candidate, while one of the Brigade members could be the pawn. I doubt she puts up Matty or Ragan after the bonding they did this week. I hope this doesn't give her a bigger target as the weeks go forward.
