Big Brother- You Are One Pathetic Loser

Spoiler alert...Below are some thoughts on the fourth week of Big Brother 12. So watch the eps, flatter someone by making fun of them, and read what I had to say.

Hayden- "Rachel nominated Kristen and I because she thinks we're coming after her...everybody's coming after you. Nobody likes you, or Brendon. Every time I talk to Rachel, I tend to throw up in the back of my mouth."

Well the story of this fourth week of Big Brother was the outing of Hayden and Kristen's show-mance, and how they dealt with being on the block together. Here at the Pool, we could care less about that, because the two of them actually dealt with their show-mance in a respectable fashion. Don't get me wrong, in no way do I condone any individual getting involved in a faux romantic relationship on a reality show. But if you're gonna do it, they did it (well at least Hayden did it) without making me want to slap them in the face.

Rachel and Brendon, on the other hand, have not been as successful. These have to be two of the most annoying people currently on television, and when you put them together, it's that much worse. Seriously, could Rachel's repetitive squeaky laugh be any more irritating? Highly doubtful rube. Then there is Brendon, who has put himself in the running for the most pathetic man on the planet. Does he know that he's on national television when acts like such a pansy towards Rachel?

"Can I tell you that I love you very much?" What are you doing guy? It's not even acceptable to act that way in real life when you're by yourself with your girlfriend. In front of a television audience of eight million people? Worthy of death. But it gets me all riled up, so the producers and editors have done their job.

Moving on...After the house guests were shown the trailer to The Other Guys before the luxury competition, Jackie Boy tweeted this, "has anyone laughed at a movie trailer more than the members of the big brother house?" Well the answer is yes, EJ Rogers at his second trip to the theaters to see The Hangover. But he's right, the Big Brother contestants come in at a close second. The Big Brother voice has to come over the loud speaker and say that if they don't crack up they will be on slop for the week right? Unbelievable how hard they laugh at this stuff.

And so now we move on to some actual Big Bro game play that occurred this week. Rachel put Kristen and Hayden up on the block because they were outed by Andrew as being a secret show-mance. Well that made her jealous of them because her and Brendon weren't the only couple in the house, so she decided to hate them for it and put them up. The huge cat fight between the two girls gave us this gem from Britney (who continues to light it up this season) "Phuh-nominal...the irony of them being in a boxing ring was not lost on me."

Britney won the PoV competition and started to work some game. She thinks about taking Hayden down if Rachel can be convinced to put Kathy up in his place. This way she'll gain some trust in Hayden and Kristen, and not pee off anyone else because no one has ties to Kathy. In the end it doesn't get done because Rachel mentions that she might use Lane as the replacement. All in all it was a nice attempt at a move by Britney, but in the end she made the right decision to not use it. Don't ruffle any feathers.

Hayden, knowing he has the votes of the Brigade does no campaigning at the end of the week. Kristen does do some major campaigning, and does a good job of it. I was impressed that she took the time to find an angle, finally figured out that there was something going on with Hayden, Enzo and Lane (even if she didn't get all the way there), and went to all the remaining voters with her plea. A nice way to exit the house, as she only ended up getting Kathy's weekly sympathy vote.

The Brigade continues to get stronger as the numbers in the house dwindle. Now with only nine contestants left in the house, their entire alliance is only down 5-4 in votes. It's only a matter of time before they take control of the place. Or is it only a matter of time before they get outed and have to fight for their lives? It should be interesting as I've never seen this big of an alliance seem this tight before.
