'Big Brother' instant reaction: Another one bites the dust

big-brother-instant-reactImage Credit: Cliff Lipson/CBSFew things in the Big Brother world are more embarrassing than getting pegged as the most flatulent houseguest (Sucks to be you, Ragan). It comes just behind “promiscuous” on the list of things you don’t want to be known for. But when talking about moments that are both horrifying for the houseguests and entertaining to watch, it’s impossible to round out a list of the top three without mentioning what we saw tonight [SPOILER ALERT]: someone being evicted wearing one of Big Brother‘s notorious stupid outfits.

Considering HAYDEN’s fashion choices tonight (those shorts!), perhaps I need to be clearer:  By an almost unanimous vote, Kristen was evicted from the house while wearing a hippie-tard. Okay, I kind of felt bad for her; I always feel bad when someone walks out looking like a fool (involuntarily). Kathy must have felt a pang of sympathy, too as she was the only person who voted for Kristen to stay in the house.

Now that she’s gone, HAYDEN’s showmance partner will no longer be able to “come between” Rachel and “her man” [Pause so we can all stick lit matches in our ears], terrorize the house with all her non-activity, or shake up the game with her numerous challenge victories. Yes, clearly, she had to go. Oh, wait…

Alas, this is what the house chose to do. Will the next HOH make a solid strategic move or focus on settling personal vendettas? Will they open Pandora’s Box and unknowingly unleash a new Saboteur? Will Ragan (who received the most votes) even take the Sabo bait? We’ll have to wait and see. The HOH competition is still going on. (Update: HOH results here. Don’t spoil below, please.)

While live-feeders await the results and the rest of us wait for them to put the results on Twitter, sound off below. What did you think of tonight’s Big Brother, PopWatchers? Full TV watch goes up in the A.M. Look out for it here (UPDATE: Click here for your full Big Brother eviction recap) or follow me on Twitter, where I’ll bring it straight to you on a tray with a rose and the morning paper (because unlike Rachel and Brendon, we’re still on our honeymoon).

    Your spoiler alert should be at the top of the article and in bigger type. Not very happy I read this before it aired on the west coast.

    • Jim

      The headline is called instant reaction, what did you expect?

      • LOL

        No one cares about this crap.

      • @ HAYDEN’S MOM

        Ease the throttle on the black eyeliner honey!!!!!!!

      • jessye

        Hahahahaha she looks like a raccoon, which isn’t a bad look if your an actual raccoon.

      • soylent pink

        Was HaydenLs mom and Tammy Faye Bakker seperated at birth??

      • smokey chedda

        Kristen’s Ex(?)-boyfriend is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Is she kidding me with this schoolkid relationship with Hayden?? There will be a lot of women standing in line to cash in on her stupidity.

    • JennBell

      The headline clearly indicates it’s going to be a spoiler. If you’re very concerned about finding out results before you watch, perhaps refrain from reading any articles about the show before the new episode airs in your timezone?

    • darclyte

      The title of the article reads: another one bites the dust. That implies that the person who got evicted will be discussed in the article. Survivor and Big Brother have been on for 10 years, this isn’t something new. Sorry bud, but you only have yourself to blame for being “spoiled.” When it comes to evictions, you should know by now not to go read ANY articles until AFTER you’ve watched. I had to do that this morning with Top Chef and Work of Art. When it comes to shows with evictions, stay away from the internet, not just articles about those shows, until AFTER you’ve watched or you are most likely going to get “spoiled.”

    • Jeremy

      When I read the headline, my brain kinda interpreted it as saying !*!*!DANGER WILL ROBINSON!! SPOILER ALERT AHEAD!*!*!

    • Dexx

      Instead of being “not very happy” with the location of the spoiler alert, how about being unhappy about the fact that for some reason you couldn’t comprehend the title of this article. Take responsibility for your own mistake instead of acting like something wrong was done. Sometimes spoilers are unfairly given out. This was not one of those times.

    • Put

      a sock in it Mark. If I don’t want to know what happened, I stay off the internet. Duhhhhh

  • darclyte

    Endurance comp ended in less than an hour. I had a bad feeling that Ragan would win the vote as he seems to be the most popular. The ONLY way he takes it is for the $20K and ONLY after being assured that the other HGs wont know about his role or the money until after the finale. You saw how he got rid of the $5K in the Veto Comp. Enzo would have been a better choice, but he’s said he’s “no rat” and saw The Saboteur as a rat. I’m not sure either of those 2 would accept the offer. Ragan only gets the offer AFTER Pandora’s box gets opened, so if the new HOH doesn’t decide to open Pandora’s Box, then no offer and no new Saboteur.

    • darclyte

      I’m STILL trying to figure out WTH Rachel was talking about when she said that Kristen was talking to Brendon behind her back and to not try to get between her and her man. Rachel is like a broken record and throws out that stupid “between her man” comment EVERY.WEEK. Did she mean when Kristen spoke to Brendon alone about him voting to keep her in the house? Rachel’s lost it…if she ever had it.

      • Jeremy

        Kristen went to Brendon and tried to get his vote behing Rachel’s back. They showed it on tonite’s episode.

      • darclyte

        Right, I referenced that. But Kristen went to him about his vote, not to put the moves on him. Rachel is out of her mind.

      • Phil

        It was yet another excuse for CBS to let Rachel say NO COMES BETWEEN ME & MY MAN. I eagerly await Taylor Swift penning a bland country song with said title….

    • CraigJ

      So really there is only about a 25% chance we will have a new saboteur. I hope we do it makes the show even better. So if the HOH isn’t going to know that they set loose a new saboteur when they open the box, what are they going to be told that opening the box actually does?

  • Viv

    This season is so boring! There’s too many generic white dudes!

    • darclyte

      The 6 “white dudes” in the house are nothing alike so they’re not “generic.” So, it’d be less boring if there were less white dudes? Racist, table for one?

      • besserwisser

        I’m so sick of these racist comments, especially from people who are obviously from an ethnic group! You don’t want ‘white’ people being racist? How about you take the first step, Viv! None of the white guys in the house are alike, but it sounds like they all look the same to you, Viv, cause they’re all ‘white’??
        Btw, if this show was on the BET channel, guess who’d be the ‘token’ there? The one white girl or guy…
        Same thing with ‘The Bachelor/ette’ complainers. I’m sure Ali, for example, has nothing against interracial dating but a black dude might not be what she’s into… So why pretend and hire the token black dude, just to send him home? Ugh..so annoyed

      • no thrilla in vanilla

        Why do you always assume that someone complaining about boring white people are BLACK. You know, other races think all white casting is boring too. I for one am absolutely sick of the bland vanilla casting on BB and other shows . There are so many other races to consider. I’m going to vote with my remote and turn these shows off until the producers start realizing that white people are not the only people on earth. And guess what, they ARE boring!!!!!!!

      • jess

        i think brendon is hispanic..his last name is villegas(common spanish last name)

  • RL

    Brendan picked the wrong girl and doubt this will last.. I see stalker in his future and pity the poor girl that brendan goes for after rachel. She seems quite vicious.

  • Ramo

    Favorite part of tonight’s ep was at the end of Julie’s interview with Kristen. Paraphrasing…

    Julie: You had a boyfriend back home and then you met (read: cheated on him with) Hayden. What up with that?
    Kristen: (some inane non-answer)
    Julie: Well, you played the game with dignity.

    • teresa

      I know, dignity? It’s not very dignified to play kissing face under the covers with some dude on a reality show when your boyfriend’s back home watching!!

    • Here & There

      I also thought screaming at Andrew the week before, for no reason days before the eviction ceremony did not show dignity. Kristen’s last chance for votes also took a swipe at Rachel & Brendon. Denying a romance with Hayden after getting caught – dignity? Not hardly.

  • Andy

    Sorry to see Kristen go. Hayden FTW.

  • Dean

    Hated Kristen. She was a complete dope. I hated her voice. I hated listening to her talk. She didn’t play strategically. Didn’t win any competitions. She fell for a total doosh like Hayden. She had a superiority complex. Wasn’t entertaining or funny or good television. Glad she’s gone.

    • Anderson

      I agree. I hated the way she talked. She seemed as if when she talked, it was a struggle to form words. She won’t be missed.

    • Mac

      It made no sense for her to be sent home as Hayden is obviously a bigger threat. Lame… the next one to go will probably be Rachel and then all we will have is a bunch of idiot dudes around. Ragan’s a big disappointment.

    • teresa

      Hated her voice, the direction her eyes took when talking, her lack of game-play, and her cheating on her boyfriend.

  • Christina

    Unitards are the curse of death on Big Brother. You get one you’re gone! Bye bye Kristen. You were invisible for the first 3 weeks then had one of the worst weeks ever on this show. You’re removal though will mean nothing! I wont spoil the HOH but it should be a good week!!!

  • Carmen

    I’m glad to see Kristen gone too! This hole season has been pretty boring! Whats up BB give them more booze make it interesting!

  • wakeforce

    Funny how everyone calls Rachel a whore, but Kristen was the one with the boyfriend at home, one who actually happens to be way hotter than Haydumb.

    • Phil

      it was only for like a second or two, but was that Hayden’s brother in the maroon t shirt & shaved head all the way to left at his mom’s house ?? HE WAS HOT!!!

      • Phil

        all the way to the right, not left!

    • CraigJ

      True, but to be fair it was only a 2 month relationship. When she was picked for the show she should have told him that they will pick up again after the show if they still want to be together, but anything can happen when I am off trying to win a half million dollars. I almost wish Big Bro would only cast single people sometimes.

  • Phil

    Ok so….theories….now that Kristen is gone & they gave her ALL this facetime this week since the writing was on the wall that she was going (so sad to see Philly fail!!), who do you think the producers are going to pull off the disable list and give facetime now til they flame out?! Anyone else notice how other than Matt wearing Rachel’s extensions with Britney that he got like 10 seconds of airtime TOTAL this week!? I mean, at this point I don’t know if its the producers or if they switched editors this year, because whoever is chopping up the video for air is seriously slashing out castmates week in and week out. I mean, I know we come here and joke about it…but WTF…I thought it would even out by now, but it seems every week someone or someones get benched!!
    I like HAYDEN, but I wanna comment about last night’s ep. Dude was making deals with EVERYONE! First the Brigade, then Kristen, then Britney and then going to Rachel & Brendon!!? I mean, hell he was one deal away practically from being the next Ronnie!!
    And Enzo & Lane in last night’s diary room talking bout HAYDEN getting out of Solitary was HILARIOUS.
    As for Kristen, sad to see her go, especially since she seemed to figure out the Brigade alliance ALL ON HER OWN, without HAYDEN telling her til after she was evicted. Call her whatever you want on here, but after a month, she was the 1st one to sniff out those rats.

  • ShannonW

    There’s nothing I hate more on BB than endurance challenges. We don’t get the instant gratification of wondering what the upcoming week will be like, the challenge always ends before BBAD, and no one ever falls before the show cuts off! I know I can always find out the results, and I did, but now it’s just going to weird and useless watching the first couple of minutes of Sunday’s show with the contestants trying and struggling knowing that it was all worthless. I’m personally not happy with the result, but I guess we can’t discuss that until Sunday can we.

  • not soon enough

    Matt, put up Rachel and Brendan and please vote out Rachel. I can’t stand her stupid laugh; her fugly hair, or just her…. period…..

    • Jim

      What part of not posting spoilers went over your head?

    • teresa

      Who else is there to put up? He has to put up the couple in love because his alliance would KILL him if he didn’t pull through this time. And, by the way, I love spoilers. I don’t know why but it takes some of the stress off. And I knew he would win. Just had a feeling.

      • spoiler lover

        Yeah Matt!!

    • KC

      moron

  • DB

    Kristen looks fantastic in that hippie-tard though, not everyone can pull that off. it’s funny that girls always target girls, how stereotypical, i think Hayden was a bigger threat. ugh, all the guys are either dumb or boring this season.

    • Dean

      Seriously? I thought she looked absolutely hideous. From the neck up at least.

    • Here & There

      Kristen sealed her fate during the HOH comp the week before. She targeted Rachel, and then right after the comp got in an argument with the new HOH (Rachel). Dumb. But even dumber was to not accept Rachel’s apology & refuse to see Rachel’s HOH room. Kristen did everything but scream “Put me up!”

    • Bryce

      If by fantastic you mean incredibly stupid, then I totally agree.

  • EmilyR

    I think it’s majorly messed up Big Brother didn’t let Kristen exit in a sensible outfit (or at least take off that wig)! She is a lot prettier than that. I liked her a lot.
    Please, please for the love of God, get Rachel out of there. The most unlikeable HG since Natalie.

    • BBFAN

      I soooo hope the HOH puts Rachel (Miss Vegas) on the block and they send her home. She is so fake. She is gonna be a mess this next week. Poor Brenden.

      • CraigJ

        I think it would be funnier to see Brenden go and watch Rachel totally, like, breakdown because something then will have gotten between her and her man and we can see the results! She is psycho and it will be awesome to watch her freak out.

      • jared4ever

        Why poor Brendan? He’s the one who chose this annoying crazy bitch and continues to be with her. He’s a moron.

    • self

      She is Natalie, trailing after Matty..I mean who in their right mind starts a relationship four weeks ago with someone on a tv show and believes it is real true love, and says week after week, come between me and my man, seriously she is lacking in common sense..You can be smart as heck and have no common sense..example..Rachel..
