Kristen announces to the Knuckleheads (Lane and Enzo) that she wants to stay. She'll do anything to stay. That's all good then.

Kristen telling Lane what a straight arrow she is. Let's see how far it gets her......

All of the above is possible.

But there are already clear splits in the Brigade. Lane and Hayden have formed a personal agreement to vote out Enzo or Matt, should either be up on the block against them.

Hayden was perfectly willing to throw Matt under the bus to save Kristen.

The Brigade won't survive much beyond the first time 2 of them are nominated together.

Kristen smoking a fag with Kathy. "I don't want to go anywhere Kathy" As if saying it a million times a day will make it happen......

Kristen counting votes. She thinks Matt has a deal with Brenchel (he doesn't) but if she could get Ragan then maybe she could get Matt.....then all she has to do is persuade Britney.......

Brendan/Rachel and Kristen/Hayden sitting together on outdoor seats.
B&R trying to make small talk, K&H not responding.

I might have to get a life until Thursday; I can't handle 3 days of Kristen half-heartedly trying to throw her cuddle-bunny under the bus to save herself, with zero chance of success.

Kristen's best hope is ironically, Britney. It would now be in her interests to evict Hayden. With his gf gone he can only truthfully go with Enzo and Lane, thus queering Britney's pitch. Plus Kristen in the house is just as much a target for Brenchel as Hayden. But will either Britney or Kristen see this? And if they do, can they pull Ragan, then through him, Matt. And can Matt see that for all the macho bravado, he is very much the 4th in a 4 man alliance, so evicting Hayden (who doesn't like Matt anyway) wouldn't harm him either......there are a lot of "ands" here......

Britney thinks Enzo and Lane wanted to vote for Monet against Matt. Ooops.....

Stop Press
Hayden-Kristen have agreed to go on a date after the season is over.

Old Annie?

Britney is sitting very pretty right now, so are Lane & Enzo tbh. I can't wait for one of them to win HOH so they have to make a move. Altho for their game it may be better to throw everything and if they win POV to be very carefull with it like Britney was.

Brigade making final 4 isn't set in stone if Brendon wins HOH on thursday and dares to make a real power move putting up the 2 big players that are flying under the radar right now: Lane & Enzo, maybe backdooring Matt or Hayden if POV is used. That could potentially shake up things in the house if the Brigade falls apart.

Anyway, the Brigade isn't as strong as they were a few weeks ago. There are cracks forming: Matt basically fcuking up his HOH-week last week, Hayden trying to save Kristen and Lane having a pretty solid side-alliance with Britney. I can see Lane & Britney sitting at final 2 right now. They both have the best social gameplay in my eyes with Enzo being a decent 3rd. Ragan is too much of a floater right now trying to be save with everyone. Britney had a "free pass" this week to play all sides because of her POV.

Just my 2 cents on the current situation. I might see things wrong since I don't watch 24/7 and might read alot of biased reporting

Last night I watched the Britney/ Lane chat then Lane reported it all to Hayden, IMO Lane is still a fully paid up Brigader, Britney his insurance.

You have a lot more faith in Brendon than I do, I like your idea of Lane and Enzo going up but Rachel will have a say in who he nominates despite going her own way with her choice.

I have seen even less than you, catching up after holiday, relied on here and Jokers this week. Still deciding about legal LF.

I have just read this, thanks.

The maps and his descriptions of the layout were a bit confusing, is it just me? The house on the left would make more sense.

Oh dear. Rachel has had some wine and was threatening to give a demonstration of pole dancing. She's dancing about, flicking up her dress to show her underwear. Brendon tells her off.

They're asking her about the most expensive drinks she's sold in her cocktail waitress job.

Kristen is drinking alone in Cabana.

Enzo has joined Kristen in Cabana . She's trying the angle that Britney has more chance of winning if there are more girls to be in the possible F2. Enzo is struggling to follow this.
She thinks she has Ragan, Kathy, Britney's votes so needs another one.

Britney & Hayden on hammock.
Britney says if they get rid of Brendon, Rachel will give up because she'll want her "holiday in paradise" in the jury house.
Hayden says he doesn't want Kristen to go home, but he wants to stay more.
They agree they're thinking along the same lines about B&R.
Brit says if Brendon wins HOH on Thursday they should all just walk out of the front door.

B&R are having a tiff about R showing off and making a spectacle of herself in the kitchen, and annoyed that she doesn't want to leave Vegas to get a classier job.

He's fed up with hearing about Vegas, Rachel says she loves Vegas and it's part of what she is; it's part of her soul.

She tells him it isn't going to work out. But then she says she'd leave somewhere she loves for him.

Rachel: "I AM VEGAS"

That has to be one of the most memorable lines in BBUSA ever.

She has the craziest look on her face - quite scary!

I am so glad I got bored and thought I would pop the streaming on for a change.

What the heck does begrading mean? Is it like degrading but for vegas people?

This argument is cracking me up. Do they not realise how stupid it sounds that they keep mentioning Vegas.

Stop whining FFS Brendan.
He's liberal and she's conservative for a start - not a chance their relationship could ever work.

Blah they are making up and slobbering over each other now. It's like watching a tacky afternoon soap or B movie.

Brendan : "I love you..."

Rachel: "I love you and told you I would move to LA"

blah - all so sickly now.

Oh I can't stomach any more of this. It's super sweet, sugar coated and puke inducing. ugh

I am not interested in hearing the alternative stream of Kristen and Matt, so I am out of here.

Oh now Rachel decides to leave the HoH and seems drunk, when she didn't seem so about 1 minute ago. Weird woman!

It does seem like the obvious order, but it would take a minor miracle for things to actually go down like that. The Brigade for all their positives in keeping themselves a secret have been fairly useless in getting the results they have wanted. Their two weeks in control have overseen exits for Annie and Andrew, and Brendon and Rachel slipping away easily twice.

Plus, I can see Rachel sacrificing herself next week to save Brendon if they find themselves on the block together.

If he wins HoH, Brendon intends to nominate Hayden and Matt, Hayden being the target. But Lane is definitely the glue binding the anti-Brenchel alliance together.
