Live Feed Update: Rachel and Kristen Squaring Off in HOH

All the tension since the big fight between Kristen and Rachel after the HOH competition is coming to a head right now as Kristen and Rachel are talking for the first time in Rachel's HOH room.  Things have cooled off enough to talk, but the tension is still in the air and they are not being friendly with each other and not agreeing with anything the other says.  Before Kristen came up, Rachel said she hoped Kristen didn't try to punch her, so that is the level these two are at.  See how it all plays out right now on the live feeds.

Andrew Evicted, Rachel HOH (again,) and Pandora's Box to Return

Wow, tonight was by far the most action filled episode of Big Brother this season. Andrew made good on his promise that he would have an epic speech for the house on his way out.  His speech exposed Hayden and Kristens's showmance, and ripped them for everything they've said about everyone else in the house.  Julie Chen was even shocked at the crazy speech.  Andrew ended up evicted by a unanimous vote, so apparently his speech even lost his 1 sympathy vote from Brendon.

The HOH involved questions, and sadly Rachel once again became HOH, which means we have another week of "Brenchel" gloating about running the house.  Things really heated up after HOH, as we saw Rachel and Kristen cussing at each other and everything losing control.  It looks like Kristen and Hayden will go up, so POV will be huge this week if that happens. 

Then it was revealed that next week will be the return of "Pandora's box," with the stipulations being that America will get to vote for a new saboteur in the house, then the person can choose to take it and try to win twenty thousand dollars.  Hopefully America votes for someone entertaining, and hopefully they do accept.  You can vote for the new saboteur at CBS.com. 

Finally there is some hostility in the house, and it looks like the drama will continue because Rachel has already attempted to apologize to Kristen, who told Rachel she did NOT accept the apology and said Rachel was fake.  Things are going to be very interesting with nominations and POV over the next few days, so don't forget you can watch it all unfold live by checking out the free trial of the live feeds.

Big Brother Producers Tease a Twist... TONIGHT!

This morning Big Brother producing partners Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan gave an interview to Entertainment Weekly, in which they divulged an interesting couple of tidbits, including a possible twist that will play out during tonight's live broadcast!

When asked how she felt about the saboteur being the first person ousted, Allison said "The saboteur may not be dead after all! You’ll find out more tonight (July 29). Make sure you watch! We loved this twist. We were hoping it would go longer. But we don’t rig this show. People accuse us of rigging this show, people accuse us of trying to manipulate things. We don’t! We picked someone who was playing her own game, who was a huge fan, who had everything going for her. It wasn’t the saboteur (twist) that got her out, it was her own silly game play – which she did not have to overdo. We would have loved for it to go longer, but it didn’t. And the summer goes on! We ran this risk on every twist we’ve played."

Also, apparently this season CBS and the producers decided to sequester all of the houseguests both prior to entering the house, and after leaving it. Grodner: "We’ve done that in seasons past because of the expect the unexpected. That might happen. It’s become a safety net for us. If it plays into something, it plays into something. It may or may not."

When asked about the blossoming love between Brendan and Rachel, Grodner was quick to dismiss comparisons to last year's couple, Jeff & Jordan, saying "I swear, I think we may get a Big Brother wedding out of this, not to mention that Jeff and Jordan are still together. Wouldn’t that be great? And Jeff will be back too. Jeff might be spending the night in the house in a couple of weeks so look out for that! I can’t say that Brendon and Rachel are the same as Jeff and Jordan; they are kind of the anti-Jeff and Jordan, but they are truly madly, deeply…there was a scene that we’ll figure out how to get in that played over the internet, where he starts to talk about how he’s going to introduce her to the family. He’s starting to worry about how his mom is not going to like her. At which point, she’s like, `What?’ It starts friction."

Here at Big Brother 12 Blog, we've been tossing around the idea of the 3 year vote-in. As it stands now, every three seasons they use twist to vote someone back in to the house. They did it the 3rd season, the 6th, and the 9th. Will Season 12 follow suit? Make sure to stick with us, and tune in live tonight to find out!

Post-Fight Update: Will Kathy or Andrew Go Home?

We are less than 24 hours away from the third eviction of the season, and tonight either Kathy or Andrew will be going home.  Earlier we reported on Andrew fighting with Kristen, and that incident seems to have swayed most of the house to send Andrew out.  Andrew has been breaking down crying all day since the fight, and even called a house meeting to address the situation with everyone.  Brendon coached Andrew and gave him pointers on how to handle the house meeting.  During the meeting Andrew explained that being a have not and being lonely in the house have caused him to flip out, and he apologized for his actions.  He openly cried in front of the house, which caused many to feel bad for him, but the question is do they feel bad enough to not send him home?

Brendon is digging his own grave by practically begging the other houseguests to keep Andrew, even though Andrew openly said he was going after Andrew and Rachel, which obviously tells them something is up between them.  So the great debate of the house this week, who deserves to stay?  And who deserves to go.  Comment below and let us know if Kathy or Andrew should go home next.
