I think these three are only still there because the rest of them foolishly played with their emotions rather than their brains. None of them really deserve to be there and at this point I hope either Ragan or Britney wins the next veto followed by two HOHs, goes to the finale next to Do-Nothing Enzo, and convinces everyone except Lane and Hayden to vote for them based on game play.

I agree that in this game you have to play the hand you are dealt and with the players you have in your season with you. What works in one season won't work in another season with different players. Based on this season's players, the Brigade trio's game has been flawless. To have three players form an alliance in the first week and then move through the entire game without ever being threatened is nothing short of amazing. Plus the other players played right into their hand with Brendan and Rachel setting themselves up as a huge target and the others focusing on them. Crazy but there would be no point in the Brigade playing differently. They couldn't do better than this.

I am reminded of so many other years the final 3 are really the nothing 3 (presuming it is BG), which will be true in this case. After those seasons ended, I soon forgot them, and looked forward to the next season. I am sure I will do the same this year and I hope their plans of becoming famous never materialize.

if you would have said BEFORE the season started that 4 of these players would go over 50 plus days in a secret alliance and at approx 60 days still havent been publicly outed, then most everyone would have said that it would be incredible. you dont have t like it but you SHOULD at least respect it

I keep shaking my head and wondering why it is bad to "let" someone else lose instead of winning yourself. Isn't the end result the same? Let me tell you that when the Titans lose a game we are just as disappointed as if the other team had won!

Sad commentary but I'd rather the BroYos than either Brit or Ragan in the final 2. I want the two of them in the jury house just for their own stupidity this whole game.

I believe there are two specific reasons the Brigade hasn't been outted this season: 1. Brendon/Rachel 2. Sabetour If the entire house had not been focused and obsessive in their tefforts against both of the above, I believe someone would have figured out the alliance before now. I don't think any of them played a "bad" game...but I do think they are one of the luckiest alliances in BB history!!

I'd agree that they wouldn't have gotten away with it had there been any evidence of one single cerebral synapse in the house. The brigade lucked out that they were surrounded by hormonally challenged X chromosomes for sure. I'm beginning to think girls shouldn't even play this game. They sure don't represent very well.

It is embarassing to see women target each other in these games. Survivor is the same way. Rachel was just too flamboyant for the other girls. None of them was going to get in line to stand in her shadow.

Harsh why? The girls either glom on to male attention and immediately imagine it's real or they get wrapped up in elementary schoolyard "I hate you more" crap. Few have been able to act the part one must act in order to play this game well. Sure, there's rare exception but not one I can think of from the past few seasons.

I have to agree Chippy; There have been a few exceptions -- but for the most part, the women on this show are the ones who go after the other women and undermine them. It's really a disappointment that the women do not seem to be able to play this game. But then I have also seen here on TVCH. In general, the women here seem much more critical of the women HG's and much more accepting and understanding of the men HG's. As an example of both in the House and here, I really do not understand the total disdain for Rachel. She was brassy, uncouth at times, and I wanted to shoot her whenever I heard her voice. But, she played this game hard, tried to work the house, used Branden to her benefit -- all types of things men would do, and some as obnoxious in their behavior as Rachel. And yet, rather than see her as a strong woman playing hard (which I think she was), she was almost universally hated. I suspect a man who acted as she did or did what she did would have been criticized -- but not condemned with the vitriol Rachel was and still is condemned. if nothing else, Rachel has been the central character this season -- both when she was in the house and since she left. Heck, everyone still says nasty things about her and she's been out of the House for some time now.

Well said, What. I enjoyed Rachel in the house way more than whats left. And I have to say, her and Brendon were the two most honest hg in BB12. And I think Rachel actually does have a big heart. I also think BB pushed her to act a fool on her return visit. Sure, she loves attention and sure, she ampped it up for the camera but who there hasn't? Even Lane comes to life in the DR. And that's sayin' something. Playing for second place is becoming tiresome though. Girls just seem to settle- way more than the guys.

The fourth is the animal! They couldn't even think of a distinct fourth category! I'll bet if a man had acted as Rachel did, told the same stories, etc., he would've been seen as someone with a drinking problem, not as a sk*nk. And you'd better believe no one would be sitting around hypothesizing about his disease-infested penis.

Well, I must say that Enzo is the most loyal to the Brigade, he's the only one who wants to go to F3 together. Lane secretly wishes Enzo would go to JH after Ragan. Hayden secretly wishes Enzo would go to JH after Ragan. Oh nice....

Lane said at the end of tonight's show in the DR that he wanted to take Brit. to the final 2. Brit. has told everyone numerous times that a female has never won when she is in the final 2 with a male. I think the only Brigade member who has a chance to win is Hayden. Lane and Enzo have done zilch in the game until now and the jury generally votes for who has won the most and played the game the hardest and won things. Hayden hasn't won a lot of comps. but he has played a social game and won 2 HOH's.

While it's true that a woman has never won against a man in the final 2, there have only been three seasons where a woman was up against a man in F2. In each of those cases, (Will/Nicole, Boogie/Erika, Dick/Daniele), the man was clearly the better competitor. We've never had a season where the woman was as good as or better than the man she was up against.

Lane could make a power move by dumping his 2 allies and take Brit to F2, this is what he's telling us in the DR... I'm afraid he's all talk and he'll keep Hayden tonight if it comes down to a tiebreaker. Brit could also force a tie by voting to keep Ragan but her previous moves tell me that she doesn't want to rock the boat at this stage when she is safe with Hayden and Lane and could easily win HOH against the three <24>. Again, of the three Enzo seems the most loyal to the Brigade because he hasn't the side deals the other 2 have. I think he'll go out Fourth if Brit is made Queen with her 2 knights in shining armor, Enzo will be kicked out 4th.
