Big Brother Season 12 Ep 21 "The Jig is Up"

Big Brother Season 12 was already good, but now its game on for the final seven as they are all trying to make sure they make it to the final three. Britney is the Queen of the house this week and she really wants Brendon out. So much for that deal she made with him. Hey, it's a game and somebody's got to play it and it is best to play to win. Britney lets Enzo know that he is not her target and that she wants Brendon out. The Brigade who thought Matt would go home last week is still trying to make sure the defector is sent packing. I don't know if Matt defected from the Brigade or if the Brigade defected from him, but either way, there is no love loss between Matt and his former crew. Even though Britney is telling Enzo that he is safe this week, he doesn't believe a word that she says because she went back on her promise to Brendon. Hell, its Brendon who cares. I must say that Brendon is a lot less annoying now that Rachel has been given her pink slip from the Big Brother house. I feel for the person voted out next because they will have to be alone with Rachel in the jury house. However, it won't be for long because there is a double elimination coming on Thursday.

The Veto Competition is up next and Britney tells everyone to fight to win it so that the nominations are the same and Brendon is gone. Britney picks house guest's choice and she chooses Matt instead of her buddy Lane because she thinks Matt would fight harder to win. Brendon chooses Lane and Enzo picks Hayden. Enzo is stoked because both of his two faithful Brigade brothers have a chance to win the veto and take him off of the block. He also assumes that one of them would actually use the veto to do this. The competition is called the Big Brother Zoo. The contestants start off with 50 veto points. The object is to have the most points at the end. Big Brother will offer prizes which cost points and punishments which add points. The winner of the prizes will be kept confidential. Ragan, the host of the veto competition, is going to host from inside so that he doesn't even know who gets the prizes. Brendon is gung ho to take any type of punishment he can get because he knows that is the only way he is going to stay in the house. He is the first to buzz in the take a bath in chum (fish guts and other yucky goo) every hour for 24 hours. Hayden sees the confidentiality of the prize winners as an opportunity to get some cool stuff. He takes advantage and buzzes in on the trip to Hawaii and $5,000. Enzo who also wants to win has to don a penguin suit and goes for the 13 veto points by agreeing to donate all of the clothes he brought to the Big Brother house to charity. Hayden isn't the only one who goes for a prize, Lane takes the phone call home because he wants to talk to his family. The final tally has Brendon winning the competition. Brendon also picked the punishment of being handcuffed to another houseguest for 24 hours. He selected Britney who was mortified.

After the competition, the guys are talking and Enzo accuses Matty (Matt) of taking all of the prizes. Hayden tries to remain expressionless. Upstairs in the HOH room, Britney is crying because she thought everyone had her back in trying to win the POV but everyone took the prizes and didn't even care. She feels that they are making her do the dirty work. Lane goes up to talk to Britney and tells her that she is going to be okay and is pretty safe. He manages to make her feel better, then reveals to the diary camera that he will manipulate Britney to get what he wants and that his loyalty is to the Brigade.

Next, Britney gets the opportunity to choose whether or not to open Pandora's Box. If she does she gets one hour of advice from a previous house guest. It doesn't take Britney too long to decide to open the box. When she goes inside the secret room she sees an life-size box. She walks over to the box and out jumps Jesse the Bodybuilder originally from Season 10. Though he also made it onto Season 11 as well. Jesse is the house guest that won't go away. Britney can not hide her disappointment. I am thinking to myself why is he here, he didn't even win. Well, Jesse is there to give Britney advice on what it takes to look like him. This is too funny. Jesse rips off his shirt and reveals all of his muscles and Britney looks like she is in pain. While Britney is enduring Jesse, the guys go outside and are treated to a luau complete with hula dancers, delicious food and yummy drinks. Poor Britney. Back up in the Pandora Box room Britney is doing arm raises and praying for her hour to be up. The torture gets worse when she sees that the guys are enjoying a backyard barbecue. Finally, the hour is up, Jesse has to go and Britney marches out of the HOH room asking if the barbecue is over. She missed all the fun. She tells the guys about her workout with Jesse and they are all smiles. The fun for Britney doesn't end there and next she gets to be handcuffed to Brendon for 24 hours. In addition to that, she has to get up every hour for 24 hours straight while Brendon dumps himself in chum.

While in the diary room after one of the chum baths, Brendon is explaining how the chum doesn't smell as bad as he thought and Britney is mouthing "Help me" to the camera. This has got to be the worst a person who has won HOH has been treated all season.

Next comes the drama. Matt who has been dishonest and a snake all season tells Lane to convince Britney to put up his house BF Ragan. I knew that time would come when Matt would throw Ragan under the bus. Lane tells Britney and she can't believe that Matt would turn on his best friend in the house like that. The Brigade is still gunning for Britney to back door Matt. Britney has a talk with Ragan and tells him that things or not as they seem and that people in the house are wanting her to put him up. Britney is very fair in that Ragan didn't have a chance to compete for the POV so she is not going to put him up. Ragan is sort of reading between the lines and tells Britney that he can see the road they are going down and it is not a good one. Right as Brendon is announcing that he will use the power of veto on himself, Ragan asks Britney if it was Matt that threw him under the bus and she says yes. Britney then replaces Brendon with Matt and the jig is up. Looks like Matt is running out of lives and will be going to the jury house this week. I don't see anybody else turning on Enzo and I know that Ragan is pissed at the betrayal so he will undoubtedly vote to send him former house best friend packing. It will be a miracle if Matt stays after this. Happy Watching!!
