Chima Recaps 'Big Brother': Kathy Joins Rachel in Jury

Kathy Big Brother“This one’s for you Rach,” was the battle cry all throughout Brendon’s quest to become the new Head of Household. Clearly looking for vengeance for the demise of the once powerful union, Brenchel, his desire to repay those that sent his girl packing propelled him to the best position to exact his revenge, head of household.

And it seemed his decision making process throughout his entire reign involved him asking the question, “What would Rachel do?”

Even with Rachel gone, Brendon was playing for her love and approval. The half a million is just an added bonus for him. With Brendon’s HOH compromised by the Diamond Power of Veto in play this week, it’s probably best.

Luckily for Hayden and Enzo, their secret side alliance they created with Brendon right before his big win worked in their favor. They were spared the threat of nomination and watched as their fellow Brigade member Lane went up against Ragan.  Feeling a little left out, both Hayden and Enzo had become leery of Lane’s flirtatious relationship with Britney and Matt’s love fest with Ragan. Their loyalty to the Brigade was faltering and their main targets were the side alliances weakening the strength of their once solid secret alliance, emphasis on ousting their leader, Matt. He’s considered a threat and they’re floating traitors with no life vest once he’s gone.

Brendon assured Lane he was just up as a pawn, with his HOH sights set on evicting Ragan, but unfortunately for him, Ragan wasn’t going anywhere. Having decided a robot can only add to this cast, Big Brother brought in Zingbot 3000 to host a puzzle Veto competition Ragan dominated. Winning the veto guaranteed his two-week stretch as the Saboteur would result in the easily acquired $20,000. However, just when all was well in the Big Brother house and life was looking up for Ragan; Brendon opened Pandora’s Box.

A getaway with Rachel proved too tempting to Brendon who thought by choosing to unfurl Pandora’s Box he would be indulging in paradise with his true love.  Instead, he had to enjoy his vacation from the Big Brother house in blissful solitude while Rachel wrecked more havoc on the house in 24 hours than Ragan’s two-week “reign of terror” as the Saboteur.

Sashaying through the door while announcing, “I’m back, bitches,” Rachel immediately incurred the wrath of Ragan. Previously weepy and despondent, Ragan unleashed weeks of pent-up fury at Rachel for the mistreatment he felt he and others suffered at her hands. He argued intelligently when not admonishing her pimpled chin, called her out for attacking his sexuality, and decidedly destroyed Rachel in this battle of wit vs. dimwit.  

Rachel recovered and set off on her mission to get Matt on the block since Ragan was no longer an option. All calls of “Brendon, Brendon, Brendon!” unanswered; Rachel decided to leave him a message spelled out in pretzels.
