My sister says PoV day is the best day of the Big Brother week. It’s my nature to disagree with her, but you can make your own decision.

A quick recap of Wednesday’s PoV and Thursday’s eviction and HoH. The competition didn’t end, so the spoiler is at the end.

So we recapped nominations on Wednesday and saw Rachel threaten the house with a “bring it on.” If she was referencing the movie, I would forgive her. Unfortunately, she wasn’t and is picking a fight where there isn’t one.

Hayden and Kristen are up, but the only one worried is Kristen. She’s been labeled a floater by Rachel and is therefore a target. Rachel said “Floaters, better get your life vests.” Two things about this. One, a floater is what I call poop that doesn’t flush. And two, why would a floater need a life vest? Wouldn’t someone who sinks need a life vest? How about “sinkers, get a life vest” or something like that?

Anyway, Britney wins the PoV competition and decides not to use it. Other important notes from the competition: Ragan is automatically in the next PoV competition; Enzo won a 3D television; and most importantly, Rachel won $5000. She did not want that to make her a target, but I suspect she is smart enough to use it as a bribe.

While campaigning to stay, Kristen suspects an all male alliance (Brah-brah-brah Brahgade!) and brings it to Brendon’s attention. Brendon doesn’t buy it. No one does. In fact, on After Dark, Britney, Brendon and Rachel have a good laugh about how silly that idea is. Well played, gentlemen.

By now we are up to Thursday’s live eviction. We learn that Kristen has a boyfriend (he now calls himself an ex) and that Hayden thinks of his mom while in bed with Kristen. Other than that, pretty normal stuff I guess.

Kristen cried a lot this episode and that was really annoying. She didn’t play hard, she didn’t play smart, and she did NOT deserve to be there. By those standards, however, neither do Lane or Britney, and I’d be damned if someone were to try and convince me they should go.

I think the acceptable limit of exclamation points is three (!!!). You learn a lot about someone by how long they hesitate when asked, "What is your go to karaoke song?" (1. Lisa Loeb "Stay," 2. Anything found under Joel comma Billy). …
