Matt,
Andrew and
Regan are the final three left in the combined endurance HoH and Have / Have Not competition.
Matt ultimately stands the test of time at over 2hrs on the surf board wall with
Regan joining
Brendon, Andrew, Britney and
Enzo as the Have Nots for the week.
Lane and
Enzo start to speculate with
Matt re:
Hayden's relationship with
Kristen and whether they are siblings, best friends or friends with benefits are all other thoughts in between are being passed around.
Enzo reminds them - "bros before hoes" and the importance of The Brigade. Somehow I think
Hayden is thinking with mini-
Hayden in his pants more than the (most likely) mini(er)
Hayden on his shoulders.
Matt continues to play his cards to close to chest and works out a deal that has
Rachel and
Brendon safe for this week and
Andrew and
Kathy up on the chopping block. Rumours continue to swirl about
Brendon and
Rachel being up on the chopping block replacing one of the two if one of the Brigade members win the PoV. As luck would have it, both
Rachel and
Brendon are selected to compete for the coveted necklace along with brigade member
Lane. The Amazing
Enzo, hosted the PoV competition - a game of numbers and memory tricks.
Brendon, Rachel and
Andrew are the final three competing for the PoV, with
Brendon ultimately winning the coveted prize and saving
Brenchel from eviction.
During the PoV meeting -
Andrew draws the line - after a covert chat with
Brendon in the Have Not bedroom - and annouces he's coming after
Brenchel as his next step. Despite making a plea,
Brendon decides not to use the PoV and lets the nominations stand.
Eviction night provides
JC with the opportunity to reaveal to America
Matt's wife's discontent with his lie on her non-existent disease. The night also revealed a new side to
Captain Kosher - aka,
Andrew - as he tried to save himself from eviction, but laying the cards - all of them - on the table. Revealing the showmance between
Hayden and
Kristen and stirring the pot between all other behind the scenes characters -
Regan, especially - in sharing their strategy or perceived actions.
Captain Kosher confirmed his previously identified enemies and found new ones while also helping those still uncertain of their vote.
Captain Kosher's plea took
JC by surprise and resulted in him being evicted from the
BB house, with a unanimous vote of 8-0.
As the hosueguests still try to piece together
Captain Kosher's final remarks, they're forced to enter the backyard and test their competition memory skills to knockout their opponents Mensa
Matt was ineligible. Sad day.
Rachel outsmarted the other houseguests and is the HoH for the second time this season, drawing more lines in the sand between
Rachel, her flotation devices and AWEFUL hair extensions, and the rest of the house - in particular,
Kristen.
JC ends the episode with a glimmer of the show's mantra - 'expect the unexpected' - by revealing the return of Pandora's Box and the opportunity for America to extend an invite to a current houseguest to keep up the good work of the
sab. Grasping at straws, no?
Predictions
Enzo causes some breaks in The Brigade through trying to tear
Kristen and
Hayden apart.
Regan shares some professional and personal insecurities which make him a target for
Brenchel.
Also, proof that my predictions aren't all redic - last week one of my predictions came through when I said "
Andrew unveils his secrets of [...]
Hayden and
Kristen's showmance to the other houseguests in an effort to stay in the game." Too bad, for Andrew's sake, it backfired.
Looking to the week ahead, we wonder how much longer the two showmance couples -
Brenchel and
Hayten will be able to survive and stand one another's cute-factor.Some final reflections from our favourite houseguests on the week that was in the
BB house -
"Guess what people - you better watch out - because this house is being taken over by '
Brenchel'" -
Brendon"I love role playing, mainly with horses and cows in wondering what they will say to me" -
Lane"This has some big potential for some TNT to blow up in your face, Matt" -
AndrewThe
BB Houseguest of the week -
Kathy Hillis - viewers learned more this week about her adversarial nature and her recent bout with ovarian cancer. Whether it is that factor or her ability to relate to her houseguests, the sole 'rent in the home has garnered the respect of both viewers and houseguests...for the time being, until she needs to wade through a giant pile of caramel again.
