So, this great twist gives us a retread of a retread.

Good lord. It was bad enough when the season started with 2 1/2 retread couples. It was a relief when we got to 1 + 1/2 + 1/2 retread couples. Now we are back to where we started!

LOL - Wait until they get Dick back (I'm kidding but at this point nothing would surprise me).

Failed for us. Win for AG. She got what she wanted.

The only explanation I have for this is that BB waited to see if Rachel stayed in the house and she did and so decided Brendon would be better to be back, the heck with what America thinks. Maybe BB wanted to be kind to Rachel and allow her and Brendon to enjoy the Jury house together. I can't see any other reason.

I don't think it was failed....K and D made a choice this week.....a VERY stupid choice not to try to get rachel out. I had this outcome pegged from the time we found out about it. I think the reason Brandon came back was because everyone wanted to see him play against Rachel to come back, not because they wanted to see them together.

Failed if you're not happy with the outcome.
I didn't vote, don't like Brendan and Rachel together, but did a little happy dance to see the look on Dani's face when Brendan won. I actually liked this twist. :-)

It is failed from the standpoint of a competitve show. The rest of the season will be very boring. The newbies have one on HOH and the double couples have one of their strongest players back.

Combine that with their minions doing their biding and the rest of the ride is very boring.

The problem with this vote twist is any former HG would have a huge advantage as many more people would be familar with them. Rachel and Brendon were just on last year's show, so combined with this years show they have huge visibility for more casual watchers of the show. Jeff and Jordan have been on Amazing Race and done more publicity than any BB players in years...

I really wanted Dom to get up there.. but there was no chance.

I also blame Kalia for her stupid HOH. One of the worst in the history of BB. If they had gotten Rachel out Rachel would have been up against Brendon. That would have been interesting.

I blame all the newbies for where the game is right now. They had the numbers and if they had stuck together to get the vets out, there wouldn't be any left. They were not very smart in their game play and have nobody to blame but themselves for where they are now. This could have been a very different game if they had used their heads.

Hiyall you have a good point. The newbies collectively have played horribly. They have all talked a good game but they have played it horribly.

Adam and Shelly think they are in a good spot but they are not. They are going to be "pawns" that end up going home when someone wins a veto because there are not enough people left in the house.

Actually, I don't think Hiyall has a good point. The veterans won the first three HOH competitions. Whether they stuck together or not, they weren't going to get any veterans out. After the first three weeks, they didn't have the numbers anymore. It had nothing to do with sticking together, and everything to do with being poor in HOH competitions.

I think the twist was terrible, because I hate Brendon and I hate Rachel, and I don't know if I can bring myself to watch them anymore.

Jumped the shark for me tonight... didn't like Brenchal last year... even less now... and I'm not buying the voting... and with no hope of getting better I think I'm done... It's been nice reading all your posts since BB1....

I don't see any reason to write off Big Brother. I like the show, and I don't even mind that it is rigged. I just hate these particular people. I'll watch again next year when they have new houseguests. Or maybe if Brendon or Rachel get evicted soon.

I would love to place a big bet on the UNDER on that marriage from hell.

I agree with Hiyall as far as the newbies not sticking together. You can make one little change that first week and don't really know what would have happened the following week and so on.

Haha Backslider, if you find where I can put a big bet on that, I'd definitely take some of the same action!

I don't think the twist failed...AT ALL. The look on Dani's and Kahlia's face when they started to realize that Brendan might be coming back into the house was priceless!!

And Lawon realizing he has no superpowers when he lost had us cracking up in my living room... I think it was one of the best twists EVER!!

I think people voted for Brendan because they thought Rachel was being evicted and wanted to see them go against each other. BOY did THAT BACKFIRE... LOL

The fact that Dani won HOH will prolly put the game back to where it was two HOH's ago, and for me that is the only thing that kind of negates the twist.

But based on the laughs and hoots in my living room last night (we have several people who enjoy BB) the twist was a HUGE SUCCESS!!

DISCLAIMER:

None of us in my house prefer any player over the other. If any of us does have a favorite, it would be me, and it would be Jordan. We just love the ins and outs of the game.

I read on the "Quick Questions" they think she will put up Rachel and Brendan AGAIN and then if one comes off put up Jeff AGAIN. lol

I feel like this is like the movie "Ground Hog Day". LOL

Yep, we are back to a show about retreads with the newbies as unimportant supporting cast members.

BORING!!!!

This was not a fail but a D-. I think if the house guests were not given a clue that the person evicted could come back it would have been a B+. Kalia would not have been so afraid of Rachel coming back to get her she may have nominated someone in the other alliance and not in hers. Adam or shelly or Jeff might have gone against brendon and one of them may have had a better chance. Lawn was just not up to the task at hand.

I did like the twist and i really think America (including myself) voted for Brenden not because we loved Brenden or Rachael. I truly think it was all out of hatred for Danielle. Possibly one of the most hated. Like many others i seriously can't stand her. But i love her Dad. Too bad she couldn't have had an emergency and got taken off early..<sigh> I was so ready for her whiny butt to get kicked out but noooo HOH again, making this another boring week and not very satisfying for us that just wanted Brenden back to watch her squirm and have no power for a whole week. Ruined! "shoooocker" the "strong" competitors lost to her again. Ugh!

Pippin, I also thought it was a HUGE mistake for Julie to tell the HG about the possibility of an evicted HG coming back into the house.

I won't watch until half of Brachel is gone. I don't care which half. I don't like watching them together.

I think the twist is stupid.

Noshmo,

You say it was out of hatred for Dani but I`ve seen a lot of people commenting on how pleased they are that she won HOH.

Funny old world :-)

"I also thought it was a HUGE mistake for Julie to tell the HG about the possibility of an evicted HG coming back into the house."

She only told them that the next person evicted would have a chance to return to the game...she never told them that a previous evicted HG would be involved until after Lawon was voted out.

Hmmm Didn`t Julie say there were 2 million votes and Brendon received over a million -
percentages don`t add up in that case!

Tissy, I think Julie said there were "over two million" to start with. If Brendon really had about a million there must have been nearly 2.5 million overall.

I'm wondering is there any way another network could put on a show similar to this and true to the original intention? Or does CBS have this particular type of show copyrighted???
I would love to see another version of Big Brother but one more audience friendly.
