Big Brother 12 - Friday Live Feeds - August 13

Nominations Today ...
... but not until after the saboteur!

So, Brendon's reign of terror has begun. Unfortunately, there's not as much action as I had hoped. Here are today's happenings from inside the Big Brother House of Revenge Gone Soft:

• Ragan talked to Brendon. No one mispronounced "neanderthal." The word didn't even come up.
• Instead, Ragan told his life story of being picked on and being an outcast.
• @@
• Brendon's heartstrings were tugged. Oh geez. Everything's gone all namby-pamby betwixt the two. They apologized to each other.
• Ragan told Brendon only one person was suggesting they vote out Brendon (as per his wishes) instead of Rachel last week.
• He told him it was Enzo (which is true).
• Ragan told him he would work with him and help further him in the game.
• Brendon bought what he was selling.
• Britney thinks everyone should vote the way the house wants, not what Brendon wants.
• Of course, she's sure that she will be his main target.
• Brendon told Kathy she's safe and he won't put her on the block.
  
• He told her he appreciates she's always been there for people who need someone.
• Of course, he told Enzo or Hayden (can't remember which) last night that getting rid of Kathy would be a waste of an HOH.
• Britney and Brendon talked. He said Rachel always defended her and he's only starting to realize why.
• He apologized to her.
• Man, is he working the crowd. It's too bad that he hooked up with Rachel in the beginning. Although I think he's very controlling in these conversations, he puts on those puppy dog eyes and sounds oh-so-sincere.
• Britney told him that everyone talked last minute and all decided to keep him in the house then.
• That contradicts what Ragan said. Ragan told him the truth.
• Brendon told her that he hates floaters.
• Although Britney doesn't seem to have any alliance beside Lane, she's shown herself to be a competitor by winning vetos.
• Then he said he'd like to be in the final three with her and Matt.
• Um. Okay.
• Lane was next. Remember, Brendon is sure that Lane is the saboteur.
• Lane told Brendon that he didn't think Brendon's wild throwing of the ball in POV was unsportsman-like.
• Oh, geez. Lane has fallen under the spell!
• Lane hinted that he'd like Britney to be targeted, but didn't come out and say it.
• Ragan remembers that it's the anniversary of Chima's meltdown.
  
• Boy, he does know the BB history!
• After an outdoor lockdown, there were escargot and eggplant.
• Poor Britney, Matt and Ragan. Well, eggplant is doable, I guess.
  
• Enzo told Lane he doesn't want to go up and talk to Brendon.
• But he went.
• It's clear that Brendon really likes Enzo.
• But he thinks he's a slacker and needs to step up his game -- start winning something ... anything!
• It was like a coach pep talking a wayward athlete.
• However, it's clear that he has no intention of putting Enzo on the block.
• Enzo acted sincere throughout.
• As sincere as you can act with a Bayonne accent, anyway.
• Brendon told Hayden that he's worried because Enzo never fights to win comps.
• He also said that Lane's never been on the block and he'd like to shake things up a bit.
• Hayden, like all of the Brigade, tries to push for Britney and Ragan nominations, not Lane.
• Brendon said he's really leaning towards a Lane/Britney nom.
• Now, WE know in that scenario, Britney will go unless she wins POV.
• Hayden knows it, too.
• Heck, Brendon can probably guess it.
• Oh! Oh! Saboteur!
• The latest (blocked to the feeds) was that there is a male/female relationship in the house prior to the start of the game.
• Both Britney and Kathy vehemently deny any such relationship and they're the only two women presently in the house.
• But then again, Brendon knows the saboteur lied about him before.
  
• Okay, no one's buying it.
• They all think the saboteur is just making stuff up.
• They're right. And Ragan is making stupid decisions which task he undertakes and the messages he's sending.
• The hamsters can see it's been going from messing with one of them to another to another.
• Matt is sure it's BB.
• Britney doesn't think there are any Jewish people in Arkansas.
• Oh my.
• She lives in a way different world than I do.
• Brendon decided he would put Lane and Britney on the block.
• Then he decided to tell them.
• He told Matt first. Shh ... it's a secret.
• Matt ran and told Hayden.
• Then he told Britney who took it well, but then went crying to Ragan and Matt.
• Then Brendon got called to the Diary Room.
• OOPS! He's not allowed to warn them ahead of time point blank like that!
• So he talked to Britney again.
• She kept telling him how much she wanted to stay in the house and that she wouldn't target him.
• He seemed to believe her and told her that she might have changed his mind.
• Then again, he might be lying!
• He never got the chance to tell Lane that he's going up as they put up trivia and blocked the feeds.
• I've been trying to wait it out, but I think I'll get this posted.
• I'll update the bottom of this (under this line) when they finally come back and I find out who's on the block.

NOMINATIONS ARE IN -- Britney must have changed Brendon's mind when they talked. Lane is on the block with Ragan.
