As I said earlier, while I don't like to see anyone feel bad, Britney is a healthy young woman with some money in her pocket who spent the summer playing a game and who has every possibility of a great future ahead of her. So in the grand scheme of things compared to the suffering that some other people are experiencing this is relatively small potatoes. She'll probably be tweeting back and forth with these guys next summer, laughing and making fun of next season's houseguests. And that is a good point about "gloating". When a football game ends, the winning team is usually slapping each other on the back, jumping in the air and high fiving each other while the other team is still on the field. And then they celebrate more in the locker room and talk about what a great game they played. How insensitive! It's fun to win and these people don't have much more to talk about. So as long as the guys don't shun her and as long as they aren't mean to her (kinda like she was mean to other players) I'm prepared to give them a break.

Kristen, when she was on the block, told Britney that she would end up being the only woman left in the house, but she still voted with the majority to evict her. Ragan told her that the boys would get her out, but she still voted to evict Ragan.

The four of them have already talked today about going to Steamboat together - the guys have all assured Brit that they love her and think she's cool, they still want to be friends. She seems to be good with it, and they are treating her much better than she has treated others.

One thing that Brit said in her little soliloquy this morning is that she thought Rachel had been the star of the show and she hated it but now she realizes it's the Brigade so she feels better. That kind of pettiness is exactly why she's in this position. They took advantage of her pettiness and played her right out of the house. She only has herself to blame. Spot on Onlyhuman, I could not have said it any better.

She bashed all the women in the house in her desire to be the last woman standing. She was told there was an all boys alliance and acted so naive. She turned a deaf ear to the several other deals she was offered. She spent way too much time bashing others and being her mother's daughter. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She lied to Rachel and then to Brendon about being good with them. She was Ragan's "buddy" and then trashed him. So, NO....when you are blindsided and lied to...
(Though, I am sorry for her having (what appears to be) a crappy mother.

I do feel she played a bad game but she did not deserve to have it rubbed in her face the way it was. It was beyond cruel the way Enzo and Lane told her. Lane was supposed to be her friend and well I have always know that Enzo was a son of a ______. Britney said a lot of mean things about Rachel but unlike Ragan she did not say them to her face because deep down Britney just wants to be considered funny. She never would have said those mean things to Rachel because she would not have wanted to hurt Rachel's feelings. Karma got it wrong this time.

Critical article about the things said by Ragan and Britney and that CBS is not addressing it. "Big Brother 12: Ragan's Reign of Hatred Ends But CBS Refuses to Show The Truth Again" http://www.realitytvcalendar.com/shows/bb-12/commentary/crd-12-p1.html You have to truly be ugly with your bashing, then you are safe from the world knowing the truth.

I felt for her.. not because they told her but because Enzo couldn't wait for Hayden to tell her what only HE could tell her, that he, the holder of POV would not be using it, and why. And he would have done it without the manic glee of Enzo. Enzo has wanted to tell everyone about "his" alliance all season.. several times other members of the alliance have had to caution him not to do so, when they could still have been targetted. So he's had to do his repetitive bragging loops only to those who already knew. Last night, he just couldn't wait to tell her of the alliance, without really telling her what she most needed to know. Then Hayden returned and wasn't able to be as kind as he'd wanted to be, because Enzo hadn't waited and then because he couldn't grasp that they still hadn't told her about the POV not beig used and that Enzo was voting her out. So he was playing cat and mouse and wanting her to react. He only got his reaction later when he was mindlessly prattling about how great he was and missing that Brit was just then taking in from Hayden the actual news. Did Enzo want a reaction.. Heck yeah. Of course what he wanted was for Brit to fall over in awe. Didn't happen. And this morning when I watched the beginning of BBAD, I realized that even before the three guys decided to tell Brit, Enzo had been throwing around the Brigade name and acting smug while Brit was clueless, so he was wanting to push that before Hayden talked to them with Brit in the DR. I don't think the insufferable Enzo is the bearer of karma at all. He was just finally in a position of power, no thanks to himself.. just put in the position of being the evictor, because Hayden won HOH and put him there and then won POV and will keep him there. But he has to brag and strut. Brit had done nothing to Enzo and Enzo certainly wasn't acting out of defense of anyone else. Anyway, I felt for her but no more than I felt for Kristen or others who also were sent off. And Brit seems to have handled it.. she cried and removed herself from the three celebrating guys. She didn't go on a rant, but brushed her teeth and got ready for bed. When Lane wanted to hear that she wasn't mad at him, she was honest and said it wasn't a good time to talk. And reportedly this morning she was more philospophical. She may have a thing or two to say to the eventual final 2 and she may even vote for other than Lane, but I don't think she will be as bitter as Erica or Keeaha or Sheila. And she even stayed long enough to win $10K.

Gee, Karuuna, we aren't on a jury so we don't have to come to a unanimous decision about our *feelings*. Can't I feel bad for her because she was outnumbered and then intentionally put on the spot like she was last night? I'm not insisting that everyone agree with me, but it feels like I'm expected to agree with everyone else. The thread title asks a question about feelings: "Do You Feel Sorry For Brit?" Yes, I do. That's how I feel.

Of course you can feel bad for her. I feel sorry for her too, Sanfran. In part I am agreeing with you. However, it's a discussion board, so I'm discussing whether the fellas were intentionally mean, and providing explanations of why I think that. You don't have to agree. FWIW, she seems to have forgiven them all and is intending to go on vacation with them.

I do too, San, but more than that, I feel sorrier for US, the viewers, as it now means there will be nothing but Enzo's flapping gums, touting how wonderful he is and asking the other 2 to validate his superiority. It means we have to look at Hayden with the urge to find scissors, and Lane who has perfected the art of spitting into a bottle (a sure sign he has done chewing tobacco; he's too good at hitting the opening..lol). And when they're not spewing their fame, they're either scratching or grunting and speaking in monosyllabic sentences.."dude" "Steamboat" "Yo".. So, San, maybe it is a blessing that Brit is finally getting away from the Boyz in the Hood..

I also feel bad for Brit. I thought that the way Enzo and to some extent Lane told Brit about the Brigade was very insensitive. They were laughing, gloating, and throwing in her face the fact that they had lied to her from day 1. If they wanted to tell Brit about the Brigade, they should have taken a much different tone. And Yes, Brit has not spoken nicely about many others... but that doesn't negate the fact that Enzo was being very insensitive and hurtful to her... so yes, I feel sorry for her. And I also think that her eviction hurts more than the others because it was not due to a bad strategy move... nothing she did would have changed the fact that she was doomed from day 1. Others may have had that same fate, but they were evicted thinking they should have aligned with that person, or because they made enemies with that person... The boys basically laughed at Brit and said, we had you from day 1... everything you did was irrelevant.

The fact they had her from day 1 (if true) is an example of her bad strategy and the lack of strategy that caused the women to confront and attack each other at the expense of allowing the Brigade to drift through the early part of the game.

What would have been the difference in any of us saying the same thing about Evil Dick. How I hated all the attention he got for being a mean, hateful, evil man. I don't think any less of myself for having said that today or all the times I bashed ED during his season. That is what I felt so that is what I said. Why is it any different for Brit to have those feelings toward Racheal. I think Racheal was deliberately mean.........difference btw her and Brit. Racheal went right to that person's face and hurt them. Brit does it behind their backs, they never know, they are not hurt by it.

True Jimmer... she and others made loads of mistakes this season. But that doesn't make Enzo's gloating "that they were brilliant" "we had the numbers" "we made things happen" hurt any less.

Jucylucy-- Yep, that link clearly describes the Ragan and Britney we have come to know. Very accurate. First really accurate portrayal of them in the house that I have seen anywhere.

It's always fascinating to me to have someone call someone out for being mean and vile, while being mean and vile.... that article had its own brand of nastiness too.

Unless I really can't stand them (Maggie, Rachel & Cappy) I feel bad for everyone when they leave. I might want them gone but I still feel bad that their dream is over.

What555456, I got that link from under the news site here. It said everything I was thinking though. CBS should tell the real story, and not script what they want us to think. I dont take credit for finding the article, but I agree with it.

In a word....No. ALL of the HG's were paid to entertain me and they didn't. I can take trash talking but when the HG leaves and is gone that should be it. Button the lip and get on with the game. This year all but Hayden seemed to bash the jury members, forgetting that the Brigade is two members. 2 on the jury will have to decide between the two left. Britt still has power but has she realized it? Two of those guys need her vote. Ragan was a disappointment, hopefully time in JH will stem his anger. It's a game, and they make it personal.

I don't feel bad for Britney. Now that it's down to Enzo, Lane and Hayden I'm not feeling bad for anyone that made it as far as Brit did. She's got 10k and nothing to be upset about, she did very well.
