Don't you just hate it, everytime I see him smirking I just want to smack him!

Yes! I get an involuntary eye roll going every time he's on the screen, taking credit for getting everyone out of the house who's left so far.

After all the tears Brendon shed last night I am absolutely positive he forgot to put on his biggie girl panties.....

I keep thinking the show is on tonight. Wish they hadn't changed it to Wednesday.

Should be a good week.

Oh I'm the total opposite, LOL. I'm happy it's wed/thurs this season, since those are my days off.

Just one more day folks, until we see how the drama unfolds.

Mkay I'm completed BB8, and am now on BB5. It's so funny going back and forth on past and present Big Brother seasons. In BB12, there's HOH and POV comps and in BB5 they are battling for not only those but also the food comps; there was no Slop yet. The nasty Slop we've seen in the past few seasons, was PB&J in season 5.

Anywho, enough babbling. Today, all **** breaks loose, or begins to at least! I'm excited!!

Is it just me, or does this whole "Rachel returning/Matt on the block" thing seem like a total Big Brother setup?

I mean...Rachel has been in the jury house alone. I don't recall her openly suspecting Matt of really anything before she left or being too keen on getting him out of the house. She's had nobody but BB producers all week to talk to. Then this whole Pandora's Box thing, where Brendon is led to believe he'll get to go see Rachel, etc. Matt's Pandora's Box clue wasn't that leading or specific, but Brendon's is?

Then Rachel comes in, starts drama and leaves the "Matt" message for Brendon, who puts him up as a replacement nominee. Matt just so happens to have the Diamond Veto, which will inject some needed drama into the house if it's used.

Hmmm....wonder if Rachel was coached and this WHOLE thing was set up to force the Diamond Veto to be used?

That being said...don't care. Can't stand Matt. I 100% believe Brittney will be going home though. Matt will stand up, take himself off and put up Brittney to replace him, and Lane will be safe.

Rachel got a horrible edit last night. I just need to point that out to non-feed viewers. She apologized very sincerely to Ragan and had a very pleasant time in the house after those initial blow-ups.

Mindi- I don't think they necessarily told Rachel to put Matt up and put her back in there specifically to do it...they're much more crafty when they influence the game than that. I did hear Rachel tell Kathy that BB told her she could leave a message for Brendon without writing (paper/pen) ... so they probably put it in her head to do it. I highly doubt they flat out said. "Tell him to put Matt up", though.

And yes, Rachel was gunning for Matt even before she left. I actually said I wanted her to stick around the house a while longer because she's the only one who saw right through him. (Can't stand him)

He may not put Britney up, though. The only benefit of him putting her up would be to snip her away from Lane, which helps the Brigade ... but I'm not sure he would want to piss off Ragan. I also think he likes Britney. I have a feeling it may be Kathy... he's been after her for a while... And having this power is going to make him a huge target. The best way to make this go as painless for him as possible WOULD be to put up Kathy. Everyone in the house thinks of Kathy as dispensable anyway, no one will care if she goes up.

Goes to show what they do in editing the show for sure! I've watched it this season closely and never really got that she was totally out for him. Good to know!

You may be right...it just stinks that this power could turn the game upside down, but will basically get rid of Kathy. Whoo-freakin'-hoo. And he WILL be a huge target next week, no matter what. He's lied to everyone, even his closest allies who don't seem to be as close as they once were to him...

Wait! Once Matt uses the diamond veto isn't Brenden who chooses who will go in his place? yeah I agree Matt would be better off putting Kathy up but I don't see how he will have the power to choose who his replacement will be.

Seems like Hayden and The "Meow-Meow" are not really feeling Matt these days.

Is Matt in an alliance with Ragen and Brittney or is that Regan wishful thinking?

Ragen had me laughing when he told Rachel off at the end! He was giving it.

I think Matt gets to take himself off AND pick the replacement nominee, which is why it's such a big deal. We wonder if he'd be able to put up Brendon, or if he'd be safe by virtue of still technically being HOH.

that's what i was wondering if he could put up brendon..or ragan if he wanted because i don't remember them saying any rules just that he couldn't tell people about it.

I doubt he'd be allowed to put up Brendon or Ragan. I don't think there's ever been anything in BB so powerful that it would allow someone to put up the current HoH. Although, that would be interesting... imagine getting evicted during your HoH week? OUCH! lol

He can't put up the current HOH, Brendon, or the POV holder, Ragan.

I hope he nominates Hayden.

I can't wait to see their faces tonight when he pulls that diamond pov out of his pocket.

I'm hoping for something like Hayden or Enzo as well...someone needs to look around and think for a second at WHY these obviously physically strong guys aren't coming closer to winning competitions. Time for the little people to step in and get them out before it's too late...
