Rachel and Brendon
The claws and tears are coming out this week. Brenchel are a few steps away from the executioner’s axe. Daniele isn’t quite on cloud nine yet. Shelly plays a bait and switch move and Jeff proves he isn’t afraid to break away from his Vet besties. With Dani in the HOH position, the POV contest is crucial for Brenchel and JeJo. Brendon wants to win to save Rachel from the block. He’s willing to go home and leave his lady love behind to make Dani’s life a living hell. Jeff wants to stop his duo from the role as replacement nods.
The fab four along with Shelly gather in the Have Not room to discuss what they believe are Daniele’s true intentions. Brendon is this week’s most likely target. Brendon hits the Diary room with misty eyes and a shaky voice. Leaving Rachel is a fate worse than slop. OK, I get that, but didn’t he realize this scenario was a distinct possibility coming into the house? He assures his bride to be that as soon as he leaves he’s going to cure cancer and they’ll be set for life, able to walk away into the sunset.
In the HOH room, JeJo discuss their deal with Daniele. A promise is a promise. Don’t let anyone vote Jordan out, regardless if Brendon saves Rachel or himself. She’s the pawn in the elimination ceremony. Daniele agrees, though no one is quite sure if her word is true.
Daniele heads to the beat your head against the padded walls all you want, BB isn’t turning off the lights so you can sleep room, and gives a half hearted apology to Rachel. Our Vegas girl smells a rat, and she’s right. Dani admits in the DR this is all a ploy to stay in the game, although nothing personal. Rachel is seeing red, and not because her hair is in her eyes.
The POV competition is on with Dani, Brenchel, Jeff, Porsche and Adam the designated players. Lawon acts as emcee. Jeff wants the win so he can refuse to use the POV. Naturally Brenchel don’t know this yet, but he’s going to assure Dani their deal is still good. His goal is to get JeJo past this week, win HOH and then beat Daniele over the head with an Elf shoe by backdooring her.
The contestants discover challenges they’ve already played, including the “HeShe” hair-pulling gig. Lawon is grateful he’s not playing, that thing completely skeeved him out. The deal is time vs. success. The HGs will write down a time they believe they can finish a challenge correctly. The one with the shortest projected time will perform. If they come in at or under their stated time limit, they move on and the person who projected the longest time is out.
We begin with the gumball chew. Rachel wins the opportunity by saying she can put up ten gumballs in two minutes. If she succeeds, Adam, with a guess of three minutes 17 seconds will be bounced from the competition. Brendon urges Rachel on, which irks Kalia to no end. She equates his coaching style to giving a woman oral pleasure. BB could have edited those comments out and they probably never would have been missed. Now who wouldn’t be afraid to seek relationship advice from this chick.
Up next is the veto puzzle challenge. Rachel declares she can do this in 38 seconds. Dani continues to try choosing times in the middle so she doesn’t have to play or be at risk. Rachel fails the task and heads to the bench. Sorry Coach!
Round three is the giant hair pluck. Daniele tries to outsmart Brendon by putting up a projected time of 29 seconds. She knows this college grad will insist he can do it under that time, leaving her safe once again. Unfortunately, she miscalculates and it is Dani who must spell an 11-letter word that relates to BB. The buzzer sounds as she’s half way through the task. She’s done.
Jeff wants to win the milking cow competition with a time of 54 seconds. Porsche claims she can do it in three days. Obviously she is determined to avoid that milk bath. Jeff runs, trips, runs some more and squeezes the life out of his cow suit. He comes up just a few ounces short of the five-gallon goal and is eliminated. Dani isn’t happy. Jeff was her ace in the hole to preserve Brenchel’s status. Curses! Foiled again!
The last task is the oversized golf set. Brendon heads to the tee, leaving Porsche the lone competitor at the podiums. He must sink a shot in 33 seconds. Porsche offered to do it in 35 seconds. Not enough honey. With two seconds left to spare, Brendon wins the match and is the new POV. Rachel is delighted and smooches on him like he just won the Super Bowl single handedly. Dani is anything but happy for the happy couple. Now she’ll have to put up another HG. Like she doesn’t have enough enemies in the house? Jeff realizes he blew his chance, but moves to plan ‘Be.’ Be sure to keep Jordan safe should she end up sitting next to either Rachel or Brendon. It’s called finesse. Let the smooth talk begin!
Brendon has concocted a beautifully diabolical plan to save Rachel, by insisting he’s going to save himself. His hope is an undesirable lands in the hot seat with him, giving Brendon a 50/50 shot at sticking around. What he doesn’t know is Jeff already made the Jordan deal with Dani.
In the game of BB chess, Daniele wins this round. She made contingency plans. Daniele had to insure her bet since although she has a bullseye tagged to Brendon’s butt, nothing in this house is a done deal. If she keeps Jordan safe by convincing three of her compatriots to vote Brendon out, he’ll be gone and Dani in turn will be safe next week from JeJo’s revenge.
Shelly drops into the HOH to ask Dani what her plan is. Dani hems and haws and gives nothing away. After Shelly leaves, Batman suggests to Robin, I mean Kalia that this mommy is sketchy. In her Diary session, the HOH asserts her belief that Shelly has been playing both sides of the house from day one and doesn’t trust the biotch.
At the break, viewers are encouraged to vote for the coming week’s have not diet. Choices include: coconuts and catfish; liverwurst and lima beans, or raisins and rhubarb. Chef Ramsay would vote for coconuts and catfish. He’d whip up a mean entrée with those ingredients.
We return to the HOH room, where Jeff promises to keep his word with Dani (cough, sputter) and then heads to the backyard to play the CIA game . Brendon lies to his buddy, saying he’s going to save himself, exactly what Jeff didn’t want to hear. Double curses!
Brenchel, sporting a lovely blue wife beater and gangsta dew rag approach Daniele in hopes they can salvage their alliance or sell her some contraband. The HOH promises nothing but that she’ll consider their request. She’s nervous, but there’s no way she won’t rally to get one of these two sent packing.
At the POV meeting, Brendon chooses to take Rachel off the hot seat, leaving himself in the frying pan. In the game of BB chess, Daniele wins this round. She made contingency plans. Daniele had to insure her bet since, although she has a bullseye tagged to Brendon’s backside, nothing in this house is a done deal. If she keeps Jordan safe by convincing three of her compatriots to vote Brendon out, Jeff notwithstanding, he’ll be gone and Dani in turn will be safe next week from JeJo’s revenge.
Brendon is convinced he screwed up Dani’s plan, but she couldn’t be happier. She figures Brendon is toast and breaking up this duo is a huge game move for which she’ll be remembered for generations to come. As for Jordan, she’s none too happy. In the best line of the night, she muses over her role this week as a pawn. Jordan hopes she’s a pawn because, “Pawns normally go home some times.” For comic relief, this girl rocks.
Rachel feels like a fairytale princess who’s knight in shining armor rescued her from the wicked witch of the HOH room.
Thursday will bring the elimination vote and a surprise visit from Evel Dick, who left the show before it even aired this summer. Will he be in the house or just do a quick interview with Julie Chen? Will he be given a second shot or is it too late?
We’ll find out soon enough.
