So he can use it both weeks? Or is it only good once?

Also, does that mean he can overrule the veto winner this week? As in, Rachel wins veto, pulls herself off and he uses his diamond veto to just put her right back up. Would he have to pick someone else? If yes then what's the point? He's already HOH this week meaning he gets to pick the replacement anyways. So basically this diamond veto is only good next week unless he can basically nullify this weeks veto.

Or does it mean that he gets it for the 2 weeks after this week?

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Spoiler!

I think its only next week, 3 weeks would be too long and would basically be handing him final 6, and likely final 4 because of his alliance

its not really a spoiler I just wanted to try it

I'm still confused though because what happens to the actual veto winner? Their choice becomes irrelevant?

Also, if this week is part of the 2 weeks then this week is basically pointless because he already gets to choose the replacement. Unless the Diamond veto allows him to void the choice of the actual POV winner. Just imagine if Rachel won POV and he voided her choice and left her on the block! It would be a meltdown of Chima like preportions from last season when the Coup Detat was used.

So lets say Rachel wins POV. Does Matt have to use his diamond veto before or after she reveals who she'll use the veto on? If after, then can he void her veto?

Either way I don't think he'll use it this week. He might want to use it next week, especially if members of the Brigade are put up.

If I was anyone in the house I'd push for the Brigade to vote out Brenden, not Rachel because she's so hated she's the perfect person to bring to the final 2 because it'll guarantee the other person the victory.

I just realized you can't spell "spoiler" without using "oiler"....

Spoiler!

Brit did not use the power of veto. Brendan called Brit a spoiled brat and said some stuff during the ceremony so that people might start to hate him and vote him out so that Rachel could stay. Before the ceremony, the Brigade decided to make them think that Brendan was to be voted out so Rachel would be shocked when she is and Brendan would be too upset to compete in the HOH.

I'm pretty sure most people just follow jokersupdates.com

it's free and people usually summarize full important conversations.

Spoiler from Tuesday evening live feeds:


BB is nuts tonight. BRENDON ing went POSTAL on Ragan. Ragan was telling Rachel that she needs to be more gracious when she wins competitions and not say things like "floaters need to get a life vest" like she said to Kristen. Rachel cried and ran into the house (she was totally hammered). Brendon ran outside and went nuts on Ragan, swearing at him and telling him to go himself etc. Hayden defended Ragan and called Brendon a neandarthal. Brendon then went off on Britney who was laughing the whole time at Brendon. He called her a bitch, etc etc and tore her up. Hayden defended her too.

[Machiavelli]

Haha, I can vividly picture Britney sitting on a couch, pointing and laughing.

[Jesse834]

Brendon is a really poor sport.

[JayP]

Ugh, is it possible to like any of these people any less?

Brendan and Rachel are annoying and idiots. That's obvious. But everyone else in the house is just as petty and sad as them only they think they're all high and mighty and better than them.

It's hilarious that everyone calls B/R disgusting and immoral (especially when you read the live feed recaps), but all they do is sit they are rip on them behind their backs like high schoolers.

Worst season of Big Brother I've ever seen.

[Antithesis]

This season has been pretty underwhelming. Past seasons I've had people that I've cheered for right from the beginning and this year there's none of that ... there's a bunch of people that are 'OK' (Regan, Britney, Enzo), but no one that I watch and think "I want them to win!"

Brendon and Rachel are sure funny to watch and laugh at. I eagerly anticipate each week's eviction messages so I can see if she tells the evicted person that it was because they came between her and her man. What will she say this week? (Probably nothing; she'll be the one on the couch with Chenbot)

[JayP]

Just to add...

Probably the stupidest houseguests on record too. The Brigade is a terrible alliance that has done nothing to "run the house" like they claim. 4 guys and all they have to their credit is a couple of endurance comp. wins (ones in which they've lasted shorter than I've ever seen).

Ragan deciding to try and turn B/R against each other was hilariously stupid too.

I find it funny how screwed Ragan, Kathy, and Britney are after this week because they're so caught up with B/R that they're too stupid to realize there's an alliance in the house.

[d_phaneuf]

it happens every season though if you read the live feed recaps, at about the mid point they get so bored that everyone rips on each other. Every single person in the house this season has done it.

it does look though like the Brigade, which has done absolutely nothing, is going to have to mess up not to end with the final 4 just because the rest of the house is too tied up in getting rid of B/R. Britney and Ragan aren't even questioning though what will happen when B/R and Kathy are gone (if they even go in that order) you would think that might come up at some point but so far nothing and it should be fairly evident they would be the next two on the chopping block.

Only thing I am hoping for at this point is Britney to go as far as possible just because her Diary Room's are the most entertaining thing about the season, and the Brigade to be split up/Matt losing. I would be fine with Hayden/Enzo/Lane winning but not Matt

I know that, but it just seems ridiculous this year. I read through two sites and, like you said, no one even mentions gameplay at all. Every feed now is just Ragan, Britney, and Matt gossiping like 16 year old girls about how gross B/R are.

I really hope Brendan actually wins HOH/POV now because it might actually do something to shake up the house. Otherwise it'll be him gone and then eventually the Brigade has to do something (don't they?).

B/R have been doing it as well, but they do it poorly and for two scientists they aren't really that smart.

I do hope whomever stays wins HOH but I am guessing they wouldn't be smart enough to target any of the athletic males and would probly go after Britney/Ragan. Brendan seems to think he has an alliance with Enzo and Hayden, and even if he does go after Matt it won't matter cause Matt has the Diamond POV

I think next week either Brendan or Ragan/Britney are gone, outside chance at Lane since Brendan doesn't seem to like him either and vetoes could change things

[Machiavelli]

I could tell from the start that I wouldn't be into this season. The houseguests just aren't that likeable or interesting.

Either way, contrary to my earlier assertions I'll watch the rest of this one and hope they do a lot better next summer.
