I seriously can not wait until Thursday night so Daniele can finally get Brendon out of the Big Brother house. For someone who was worried about being called “Bukie” on national TV, he’s certainly not worried about coming off as a complete, egomaniacal loon!
After being put up for nominations, the scene between Brendon and Rachel was anything but touching. Yes, love makes people a little mushy in the brain but these two have nothing but oatmeal up there (no offense to oatmeal). I had to laugh when Brendon said he loved her because of something big “right here” as he pointed at her chest, because I thought he was talking about her boobs instead of her heart. It was only when he had to remind her that he has a PhD and can speak in medical jargon that I realized he was referring to her heart.
Things didn’t get much better during the Veto competition as Brendon cheered Rachel on as she attempted to stay in the game. I loved Kalia comparing his cheerleading chatter to how it must sound in their bedroom, finishing it with, “and now American can collectively barf.” Unfortunately, Brendon won the Power of Veto then ran around telling anyone who would listen that he was taking himself off the block. I also loved Bredon comforting Rachel by saying that if one of them is evicted, “worst case scenario, we’ll be married forever.” HA! That just came out so wrong.
This is the part that really drove me crazy … and why I’m glad at least one-half of Brenchel will be gone this week: has no one in the house been paying any attention to the two of them? Why, for a minute, would Jeff, Jordan or Daniele even consider that Brendon was telling the truth about taking himself off the block? He does nothing but defend Rachel (as the editors have had fun showing us with the “don’t call my fiancé an idiot” clip over and over again), so why in the world would he not do the chivalrous thing and save her? At least Daniele seemed prepared by already having Jordan in mind to put up against him in the first place. She would have had a much harder choice had he left Rachel on the block, so for all of his bravado about screwing up Daniels’s game, he really didn’t have an impact because she’s getting her target out of the house.
And another thing — all of the blah blah blah from Brendon and Rachel in the Diary Room about winning the veto and staying in the game (as a couple) made absolutely no sense because no matter who Brendon used the veto on, one of them would still be on the block and in danger of going home. Brendon may have a PhD in biology, but mathemathics is obviously not his stong point. I really wanted to throw something at my TV every time he was on screen talking about how his winning the veto was going to give him and Rachel all the power. Hey Bukie, there was no way you were going to save both of you and by not taking yourself off the block, you played right into Daniele’s hand. If any of your future employers are watching this season, I think they may have to question your problem solving skills. I’m just sayin’.
