Just cos it would have been predictable him going this week otherwise. Just wanted at least 1 week before it was just the brigade where it wasn't 100% obvious who was going.

The DPOV wouldn't get used though as Matt wouldn't be up against another brigade member and therefore would have the votes to stay. Unless he suspects someone in his alliance is the saboteur...

She better, she needs it badly imo

Matt can be quite off the wall with his strategy, and the temptation to save himself may be too much. He wouldn't live it down if he went home with the DPOV in his pocket! He may also want someone else on the block to get rid of.

Britney can't go home, I don't want to watch a sausage-fest and Kathy!

Britney is Veto Royalty though, she'll win it.

Why make an enemy out of Kathy if Ragan is going home anyway?

Brigade are still pushing for Ragan & Britney.

Wonder if the DR try to influence this week. Brendon is probably the best chance of manipulating. I can't see them wanting only one woman left in with 4 weeks and a bit to go.

Britney & Ragan consoling each other in the HN bedroom.
Now joined by Matt.
Ragan: "It has to be some combination of the three of us."

Saving yourself is hardly making an enemy. Every player would understand that.

Plus, as said a few posts back. Fancy staying on the block when you have the DVOP in your pocket.

If any Brigade member had won this HoH Brendon/Ragan/Brit were all in with a very real chance of going home. The next few weeks would have also been very unpredictable.

Now Britney or Ragan are pretty much certainly leaving this week. The only other possible outcome is Matt and Ragan going up with Britney winning PoV and taking Ragan off, that's the only way one of B or R isn't going. The next few weeks are very predictable now as well. The Brigade will throw the next HoH to whoever doesn't get voted out (B or R), they will put Brendon up and he will leave. The next week it'll only be the Brigade and Kathy taking part in the HoH comp so, barring a PoV win, whoever's left out of Britney and Ragan will go.

This result has pretty much put a final 5 with Kathy for the Brigade on a gold coated plate, they don't have to do a single thing for almost a month.

Britney, Ragan, Matt are the have nots.

No - really??

Don't you think using the DVOP to put up Kathy would ring alarm bells in Brendon, Ragan, Britney and Kathy's heads? If that doesn't tell them that there is a 4 man all guy alliance nothing will, they may as well go around in matching outfits with Brigade written in bold on them as the rest of the house is f*ckin clueless.

Matt had no problem going up on the block earlier and back then he didn't even have enough votes to make him stay guaranteed like he does now.

It always puzzles me that the new Have Nots do not jump in the shower immediately after the competition, for one last hot shower.

Who would the DR manipulate him into targetting? Matt has the DPOV and Ragan is the saboteur.

Hayden is the first to brown-nose up to Brendon, telling him that Britney was crying afterwards and that her and Ragan looked miserable.

Britney shares with the other have-nots that her PMS is due to start Monday.

Lane is not a happy bunny.

Lane & Hayden were in Cabana and Brendon joins them. Small talk. They ask him what CDs he put down for the HOH room. He thinks Beatles, Stones, Bob Marley.

Ragan crying in HN room, again.

They're waiting for the unveiling of Brendon's HOH room, but they're flagging and very tired.

Does Matt have to use the DPOV at all? Unless 2 brigade members are on the block!

Because if Britney takes herself off, and they put Matt on the block against Ragan, then the votes will come 3-2 to evict ragan at the worst!

Brendon's HOH room reveal time. They all walk round, going "ooo" and "aaah" at the photos etc. Cans of Red Bull in his fridge.
Letter is from his sister; he reads it out - family news stuff.
Ragan, Britney slip away as soon as they can.

Lane and Matt in the CR.

Lane tells Matt that as of now, Ragan is the target. Brendon is "certain" that Lane is the saboteur.

Lane says if he won the Veto, he would use it on Britney.

Matt says if he won the Veto (and isn't on the block) he would use it on Ragan.

Enzo and Hayden playing pool with their new side (?) alliance......Brendon.

Britney, Matt and Ragan in the HNR, amusing themselves with Kathy stories.

The HNR crew laughing about Enzo's uselessness in competitions.
