Another day of trying to convince Rachel that she's staying and Brendon is leaving.

Brendon's latest wheeze is to call another House Meeting (on Wednesday) to have another try at bringing Matt down. Rachel is reluctant.

Good luck with that Brentard.

Rachel, Britney, Kathy, Hayden and Ragan at the BY couches.

Silence.

Brenchel in the CR, dreaming about being given the Coup d'Etat.

Sorry baby, Matt has the secret power this Season.

Ragan, Britney, Hayden and Enzo on the BY couches.

Ragan trying to rationalise his response to Brenchel's obnoxiousness.

The BY crew mock Brendon's claims to have friends in London, Paris, Denmark and South Africa.

Ragan tells the BY crew he thinks Rachel got a coded message in her last HoH letter, something about hunting sharks in the ocean, that lead to Hayden and Kristen being nominated.

Britney guesses correctly that Brenchel are planning drama aimed at Matt.

I can't beleive Ragan said he'll start singing if Brendon goes off on them, so that it won't make it to air. That's bad for us viewers you idiot! Seriously, who cast this assclown?

I've only just started watching the feeds, so I'm not sure if he has been like this all along, but Matt doesn't look that close to the rest of the Brigade to me.

He's absent from the majority of the Brigade meetings in the garden or HoH and is spending most of his time with Ragan and Britney. I know he says it in a joking way but I genuinely think he's tired of pulling the alliance's weight in competitions almost single handedly. Most people don't believe the story that he got $1 from opening Pandora's Box but Ragan is the only person he's actually confirmed that was a lie to. It seems to be public knowledge now but Ragan was the person he first told that someone had been going through his bag, he actually went quiet when brigade members were within hearing distance.

Ragan tells Matt in the HoH room that he doesn't think he's the saboteur.

Brigade meeting in the SR. Talking about Brenchel drama.

Despite Britney and Ragan obviously liking each other, there's no sign yet of any game talk between them (apart from Brenchel stuff). If the Brigade is going to be beaten, it will have to come from these 2 joining up and pulling Lane and Matt with them.

No signs yet.

Are Lane and Britney still close? I haven't seen them really talk since he effectively told her he was planning on voting her out at the Final 6.

No more nor less than usual. They had a blow up last night about football. I think Lane finds her tiresome; he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who can be "just friends" with a girl anyway.

I think Britney is there for the taking, gamewise.....I hope Ragan makes a move sooner rather than later. At the moment all they can see is Brenchel, but then what?

Lane said recently that Britney is basically his little sister in the house - they fight, and wrestle each other, but they always end up back on good terms.

I've just been thinking, and there's no way a Brigade member goes home next week is there? Not with Matt having the Diamond Power of Veto.

It will be either Britney, Kathy, Ragan or Brendon. Then the Brigade have the numbers. Wow, they really could make it to Final 4, would be hella boring for us, but quite an accomplishment for them.

Hopefully Britney wins HoH next week.

I think it's pretty much impossible for one of them to go home, unless Matt decides not to blow their cover and use the Diamond Veto, and even then it would be a push.

The only way for one of them to go home would be if somehow two of them ended up on the block together at the end of the week.

The only real scenario that would work would be if someone won HoH, nominated Matt and another Bridage member, the original veto wasnt played, and then Matt saved himself with his diamond veto.

I would imagine the HoH would choose the Diamond replacement??

I think Matt would consider not using it if two brigade members other than himself were nominated. I think he's smart enough to realise that carrying the others to the final 4 could end up with him finishing in 3rd or 4th instead of reaching the final.

No. Matt would choose the replacement. The DPoV is basically 50% of a Coup d'Etat.

I'm hoping that Matt throws Enzo and Hayden under the bus next week, for being in an alliance with Brendon. It was Matt's idea that they cozy up to him too.

Britney and Hayden on the hammock. She isn't thinking further than getting rid of Brenchel, "then it'll get crazy".

Inside lockdown.

No, the power of the Diamond Veto is that you can name the replacement nominee.

It is near impossible for a Brigade member to go home next week.

There are 3 of them playing in HoH, if one of them wins, obviously no Brigade member is going on the block.

If Britney or Ragan wins HoH, they are nominating Brendon and Kathy. It doesn't matter if one of them wins PoV, and a Brigade member goes up, because they'll still have 3 votes, which is the majority.

If Kathy wins HoH, which is a long shot, I'm guessing she'd put up Brendon and one of the Brigade. Again Brigade controls the votes, and even if two Brigade members do happen to go up together, Matt uses the DV and then names the replacement, and again, Brigade has the majority of votes to evict.

Brendon tells Hayden in the SR that he intends to call out Matt about Pandora's Box.

Brendon:"Can I trust you 100%?"

Hayden:"Yes"
