GETTING HOUSED: Big Brother's Anti-Climactic Reveal of Saboteur

Thursdays will always be major events in the BB House. There will always be a vote, a recap of the week's events we don’t normally see (unless you subscribe to the live feed or are lucky enough to watch Big Brother After Dark on Showtime, like myself), and we’ll get at least the start of the HoH competitions.

This week, CBS added the Saboteur reveal to Thursday’s live episode. But even with a full plate of events, it was still quite boring.

Annie gets the axWe learned early that Annie was the saboteur. She is the first saboteur in BB history and will remain the worst saboteur for years to come. Moved to the block on the first week? Terrible showing. CBS has to regret choosing the girl with no eyebrows and a dog named Mr. CubbyBears.

She should have stayed, though. I was pulling for her. She made all the right points and the house missed the big picture. While I don’t agree with the Jeff and Jordan comparisons (blasphemy!), I do think that Rachel and Brendon will have their way for a while.

And since the chaos theory that Annie laid out wasn’t enough, Rachel went ahead and won the HoH competition and now everyone is screwed. Congratulations, idiots, you gave the athletic guy on track for a PhD co-HoH this week.

Not much else went on this episode. We saw Brendon cry, which I have seen a few times on After Dark. We saw Kristen dress like a stripper and look terrible for the first time this year. And we got to watch Annie act awkward with Julie Chen.

While I assume Annie is awkward eight days a week, I don’t blame her this time around. It looked like Julie’s dress was held together with a load-bearing crystal. I would have been preoccupied too.
