The Hard Part in Big Brother 2010
|Well, we have made it to the hard part of Big Brother 2010, where everything has been said, and done and we just have to wait for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday.
This week, the decision is pretty much made, with very little question.
For Matt fans, I agree he played his heart out, even if the “sick wife” thing is a little played out.
Enzo will most likely stay, even though he has won nothing, he is playing the social game strategy, a ploy that has worked well for players in the past. Although in this stage of the game, it may not get you much farther. We are at a place, where winning competitions is the key. Floaters can only get so far, and this… is the so far.
Last night on the LIVE FEEDS… well.. not too much happened. The HG’s studied for upcoming comps, talked about past HG’s blah, blah, blah…Oh- and Brit talked about her Pandora’s Box experience with Jesse. Now.. there was a mention last week about another “secret power”- Brit claims she only got to spend an hour with Jesse. The question is.. Is that true? Did she instead get a secret power? We should find out tonight on the CBS show.
One funny patch happened as Brit, Enz, Hay, Lane talked about Kristin and Kathy. Brit did a passable Kristin imitation, and Enzo laid it down. “If someone comes to you and asks you to vote for them and you say’OK-you go around the house, ask everyone who they are voting for, and get back to me- you are done- that’s it-It’s the death blow.”
The HG’s were given a badmitton set, but other than that, it was status quo..With Ragan and Matt counting everything in the house, almost driving themselves nuts.
However… beginning tomorrow.. Things will heat up tremendously! With the Double Eviction in play.. Who knows what is going to happen? The LIVE FEEDS after the show tomorrow night, ending with a banging endurance comp ought to be CRAZY!!

I HOPE THAT ONE MEMBER OF THE BRIDGADE GOES HOME WITH MATT ON THURSDAY. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHICH ONE BECAUSE NONE OF THE HAVE DONE ANYTHING IN THE HOUSE. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SEE RAGAN GO HOME. I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN DEAL WITH HIS CRYING OVER MATT GOING HOME. SO MAYBE RAGAN SHOULD GO HOME BEHIND MATT. AS LONG AS BRENDEN DON’T GO HOME. HE HAS BEEN PLAYING A MUCH BETTER GAME NOW THAT RACHEL IS GONE.
I would love to see Ragan go home, he has 20k so he should be fine with that. I want Lane to win!
As much as I hated Racheal’s laugh she was the only one that made this season interesting. I loved the flip cup games!!!! I think the brigade is over. Matt is trying to make too many alliances, it will catch up with him. Enzo is a BIG BABY!!!!
Guess I am the only one but I love Ragan. Yes. I do agree he is overly emotional a lot, but he has played the game as fair and straight as anyone else. Give him a break. What has Hayden done to stay in the house? Or Lane or Enzo for that matter. Ragan has played as well if not better than any of them. Ragan needs to stay! Matt needs to go, NOW!
@Paula- Oh. I agree with the Brigade comment. They have done nothing to stay in the house.. with you on that one. My problem with Ragan is a personal one. It is the hypocrisy that bugs me. His game has been relatively weak, and primarily social, as he has only one POV.
I like most of the Brigade as people, but do I want them to win? No I do not. I want to see a winner who had to claw, scratch and scrape their way to the top of the heap, not ride on figurative coat tails. As far as Ragan goes, he has only really played a so-so game, but if he starts winning comps, I will respect his game, and I may even be able to stomach his silly emotional drama persona, or his pompous superior one.
@Janet….well said! If Ragan didn’t trash Brendon and Rachel so much and played a little harder I could possibly root for him (I did start off liking him.
But he just pouts too much and is viscious verbal assaults that he and Britney makes continually on Brendon and Rachel (who has been gone for a couple weeks). they need to get over their hatred and/or jealousy and move on.
Also, he really did nothing to earn the $20K as sabo….BB should demand a refund!
I am definitely on team ‘Brendon’ these days now that Rachel is not there to suck his attention into the void…lol
I personally like how Brendon is playing the game ‘now’, even before he was playing the game by trying to contain tornado Rachel and making sure their social game was a little intact. So yes, he played 2 very different type of game but like another commentor said…”you have to change with the game weekly” and he is doing that every week.
GO BRENDON 🙂
@Janet – This game is just not about competitions, it’s about doing whatever you have to do to make it to the end, even if it means that you will be riding the coat tails of others. The BB game has been around for awhile and enough of us hardcore fans know what it takes to win. You can’t come into this game winning all the competitions, you’ll be the first one on the radar like Rachel was.
I for one certainly hope that Britney did not receive any special power by opening PB. She got Jesse, the house guest had a feast. When Brendon was HOH and opened PB he got the spa and the house guest got Rachel. No special power for him it shouldn’t be special power for her. What else did Brendon get? Am I the only one who seems to think that he might have received a special power. I know Lane got a phone call home, I know Enzo got the penguin suit. Brendon got POV. Is that all Brendon got for what he received? Head shaved=POV. What did he get for taking the slop pass and what did he get for chum dunking and being handcuffed for 24 hours. I agree on the Ragan part, he seems to be a very smart person but his game plan has not been good. His vile contempt of Rachel and Brendon is disgusting, plus most of his game has been campaigning for Matt instead of his self. Ragan is going to be so hurt when he sit and watches this game back, then he will see the true Matt and he will also see how awful him and Britney were.
Just wondering how a double eviction can take place in an hour.it seems kind of rushed. Does everyones tv guide say 1hour show.or just where I live? Whatever it is should b verrrry interesting. Can’t wait
I think matt will be going home tomorow it would be a good move for the hgs because he is a good player and has won both endurance comps he has played in and im sure thers one coming up as for Enzo I dont see him being much of a threat. I hope Brendon wins HOH and sends Britney home for stabbing him in the back also what a lame speech she gave on why she put Brendon on the block i mean so what, right, her plan still backfired and she put up one of her alliances this game just keeps getting better and better for Brendon.GO BRENDON!!
I agree Matt should go home. He plays dirty but he plays well. If the rest hope to win they have to get rid of Matt. Enzo sure realizes that. Brendon has played his heart out.. He deserves to stay. I hope Lane goes. What has he done? On Hayden. I like them both .. but someone has to go home. They do the double elimination every year. Fast and furious. No chance to campaign. It will proved interesting. I also wonder if maybe Brit got more than just seeing Jesse. Should find out tonight. I still like Ragan darn it.
@chicago they will start the eviction votes right away then go play hoh then nominations right away then pov and then eviction. Everything goes really fast. @Janet totally agree with you. Also really love your web site…thanks for all the entertainment during this crazy reality show. Have really enjoyed reading most of the blogs. Now as far as Ragan goes…used to love him and Britney in the beginning until you get to see how they really are on BB after dark. They became so nasty with there comments always about Brendon and Rachel. It was carried too far. I have to mute the TV when there talking. Can’t stand to listen to them anymore. Go Brendon!!!
@ Betty are you really comparing 24 hours at a spa to an hour with Jesse? You do remember Jesse? Big self absorbed meat head. An hour with Jesse would be no day at the spa! I hope she did get something else, something good.If she did spend an hour with Jesse she deserves something great!!!
I had no idea the Jesse Brit had to stay with was the Jesse from the past BB. OMG I am so naive. I just googled him.. and found this.
‘Big Brother’ self-obsessed contestant and rumored homosexual Jesse Godderz has posed nude for his, ahem, ‘modeling portfolio’. I cannot believe anyone had to spend an hour alone with him. If Brit did and lived through that experience she can take anything. I am going to take the live feeds next year so I will actually see for myself what goes on. You don’t see that much of the junk that happens during a regular show. Now I am rethinking about Ragan. Thanks for telling me.
NOTE:
Remember that there is a chance to get something good or bad for yourself or your housemates if you choose to open PB.
If she did get Jesse and the other HG’s got a feast then it is the opposite of what Brendon got…he got the spa and the HG’s got Rachel…so it’s the same just reversed good and bads hahaha…LOVE IT
Still the biggest benefit of PB went to Matt with the DPOV.
I am assuming that PB is now out of play since it will be a double eviction week and HOH will reign for about a half hour and not be able to open PB….hmmmm just speculating.
@Britney- I agree that you can definitely get so far, playing a purely social game. We only have to look at players like Jordan and Adam, for instance to know that is true. However, we are getting to the part of the game in which you HAVE to start winning some type of comps. If the brigade guys have just been laying up, and now start competing to win, well, that is a strategy that has worked in the past.
Conversely, if you only win comps, and play a horrible social game, at some point you will lose a crucial comp and be out.
So you are right, in that there are different strategies that work, and usually it is the one who either finds just the right balance, at just the right time, who wins.
@Karen- Thanks! I’ve had a lot of fun with this site, and you guys have made it all worth it! I have always tried to tell the truth, as I see it, which is the only way I know.. I love reading the comments, good, bad and ugly.
Also.. Thurs night will end with the beginning of an endurance comp…
“Paula” I agree being with Jesse the body meat head 4 1 hr. UCKKKKK! Please remember when Matt won hoh’s Ragain had stepped down for him , so maybe Matty boy is not that great at comp’s. And i agree Branan has played better since Rachel left. Remeber he was the one who kept Rachel semi nice he was the one whom persauded her to appolize when she needed to show a decent side to herself ,also ex girlfriends always lie about thier ex’s personality I think Brandan is agood guy.
@Janet – I love BB and I am a huge fan. This year has not been the best year. We see more floaters this year than any other year. I hope Lane can pull it off, but if not I would want to see Brendon win. He hass had his moments but lately he has been a class act. Thanks for a great site. I needed my BB fix during the day at work -LOL!
Since Lazy Enzo is staying in the house.. Then I hope he wins it all.
I give Rachel props, till she was voted out she fought everyday to stay in that game and up and to that point she is the only one who was doing so. They didn’t like her at all so everyday she had to work to stay. She was even carrying Brendon at that time. I also like Brendon I am hoping he is in final 2. I would give it to him if he makes it that far.
In this game there are many ways to play but in the end everyone lies about something. What and how you lie is what breaks you or makes you. I have watched BB since day one, love this show.
I liked Regan till he too showed his true colors he is all the things he claims Rachel is. He has gotten worse over the last few weeks. At first I thought Regan had it in the bag he was quite, stayed loyal and out of the way. He has no right to talk about showmacing when he has the biggest yet in BB history only problem is, it is all in his little head and Matt who told an awful lie about his wife is the target. Even Matts wife didn’t like the lie and wished he hadn’t done it.
Matt, you ended up where you did because you got cocky, pure and simple. I do agree your team let you do all the hard work seems none of then worked as hard as you, but hey maybe that was their game play.
Oh and Brit must go for me she is a major floater, from power to power from side to side. I like my local Sheriff but his granddaughter sucks! Just found out in local paper
(The spectator/Ozark Ar) she is the indeed the grandaughter of our Sheriff. Sorry for him cause that girl lies out all sides of her mouth and indeed who you really are comes out in this little BB house eventually. She is now being used like she used others and I really don’t want to hear her cry about it anymore, what you give is what you get.
Lane NOTHING, he has earned nothing and done nothing to say I deserve the prize and little clue here for him when folks from home give you a call on BB don’t tell everyone the whole world loves you, you just put a bigger target on your back.
Enzo has made moves to secure himself(outside his group),I also think his game has been to let others do all his work for him. If it works congrats future BB players will be calling you for tips.
Hayden biggest mistake in game getting involved with girl after what you saw house did to Rachel and Brendon for being couple. Also making out with others in room, Kristen looked like an idiot saying you didn’t when BB watchers and Rachel saw what you two did. Otherwise so far I like Hayden. In fact I like Enzo, Hayden and Brendon hope they are in final 3. Either way just great TV and love the show.
Ok, BB get some new ideas cause I don’t want to sit through another season when the house guest guess/know what to expect in comps and games. Oh and if we have Sab again make them really do things don’t hand them money like you did regan…Major disappointment in that, he did nothing..that could have cost him. He needed to get his hands dirty not just talk from a TV, some actions would have been nice. Thanks for another year BB.
The reason why no-one liked Rachel was because we is a wh–e.
She also is a bragger and thats what got her kicked out plus being a huge bully didn’t work so well for her either..
She thought you was hot stuff and shes not.. Shes VERY ugly!
Thats why Rachel got booted.. She was abusive to the HG and they wasn’t going to take her crap..
Like Ragan said…
You can’t treat peopel that way because it will come back to get ya.
I think Lane is a stupid idiot… He cant stand alone. He has betrayed Britney and when she finds out.. She will hate him.
I hope Matt tells everyone about the Bargage before he exits..
The rest of the house-guest need to know about it!
Atleast he can give the rest of the house-guest a heads up about what is going on… I cant stand Lane,Hayden, Or Enzo!!
Of course Enzo knows to get rid of Matt.. Or he will be going home himself and might still go home tomorrow.
He’s a lazy a$$ and doesn’t deserve to ride such an easy game pass to the end. Hayden and Lane and Enzo have ridden on Matt and Brendens coat tail… They will suck in the competitions to come.
Unless they get lucky..
This BB season has been a fluke!
Thank you Janet you have made many of us happy everyday this is a great site. I also hope Matt calls out the Brigade. And also Brendan takes it to the finale,with whoever can step it up to equal with Brendan in comps.
Well I was wrong in thinking that Brendon received anything else in the POV com. What he did was save himself. Enzo came very close to winning the POV. I am so glad that Britney did not receive a special power. Wait until Ms. Britney finds out it was not Matt who took the prizes, it was Hayden.I can’t believe that Matt would call Brendon aside and tell him he had his vote and his apology. What purpose did that serve? Matt is sickening playing with his self while Ragan watches. When he finishes straight to the bathroom.
While i didn’t like the lie about matt’s wife–he got the brigade where they are now–he won all the comps for the brigade while they sat back and did noting–and now they turn on him-He could of put one of them up last week instead of kathy as the renom–i think he should out the brigade–and maybe it will help his only true friend ragan out–Ragan has shown his true colors–and i don’t like them –and the brigade wanted matt out for playing the rest of the house–didn’t lane have a side alliance with brit and hayden with kristin and enzo with brendon so what makes them any different–so i hope he outs them–Now i can only root for brenden– i still think he a nice guy –beside the hook up with rachel but i don’t see that lasting long outside the house. aside from all that–The nice guys are Lane, Hayden, Enzo and Brenden–and i still kinda like matt(aside from the wife lie). But Brenden has fought the hardest to be there.
Thank U janet for all ur hard wrk and trying to give us all the answers we r looking for this season of bb.I have watched since first season and ea and everyone since. It always is crazy. Not sure who I want to win this year. Jesse only came back for pb, yuk he is spool ugly and has no brains. Kind of like enzo, no brains and hasn’t won a darn thing. But be surely can play with himself!!
I’m going to watch after dark now and c how they r coping for the de 2morrow. 🙂
Well after tonights show Matt looked pretty beaten. As far as Regan goes he got what he deserved with Matt. Matt threw him under bus(trying to save his Brig)and Regan got all pissy about it, really in the end Regan would have choosen Brit instead of Matt. He could have made himself look good next to her but not Matt.
At this point biggest mistake of season so far by BB houseguests was attacking couple(R&B)so openly and then putting wrong one(R)out. When they forced Rachel out they lite fire under Brendon. He has come out fighting everytime. He has stayed calm,cool and focused. I hope he makes it to final 2 and wins.
***NEWSFLASH*** Brit and Regan you are no longer playing against those who have left the house. Enough with the trash talking and start playing the game you two flipflopping floaters,that is why you will soon be on your way out. Someone forget to tell you those on the inside of house are who you are trying to beat. Go Brendon!!!!!!!
I believe someone quoted Regan as saying “you can’t treat people that way it will come back to get ya”. From the sounds of it Regan doesn’t practice what he preaches. He is still going on and on about Rachel and she isn’t in the game but he is stupid, he never stops to think that as more of the HG go to jury they all talk about who said what and did what and about who. Betting Rachel won’t be voting for him if he ends up in Final 2.
I hope brendon takes it all!!!!
Janet…Love your site. I watch BB after dark every night, and your highlights of each episode are right-on. I don’t subscribe to the computer live feeds, so your updates as they happen are awesome! I especially loved you informing your readers exactly at the momment that Brendon won POV! I’ve loved Brendon from the start…even when many fans did not believe in him. It is rare to find such an honest and caring person on a reality show. Go Brendon!!!
