Knowing that Kristen had been talking smack about her to Hayden, Rachel blew up in a big way post Head of Household competish. Rachel and Kristen, literally standing in a boxing arena (as part of the game they had just played) started duking it out, verbal bombs style.

The carnage elicited a number of responses from the other houseguests, who ate up the fight’s entertainment value. Among them:

-Give ‘em some gloves. Give ‘em some jello. Throw it all in there” – Enzo
-“I want some popcorn. I want to shush the guy next to me” – Lane
-“This couldn’t be better for me personally” – Matt
-“The irony of them being in a boxing ring was not lost on me” – Britney

It all started after Andrew revealed to the houseguests during what would be his eviction speech that not only are Kristen and Hayden the show’s second showmance (after the far more obvious Brachel), but that they’d said some pretty rude things behind what they thought were closed doors.

Enzo, yet again, brought up how Andrew had been “throwing grenades left and right.” I don’t know what’s with the guy and grenades. I do know that I’m uncomfortable.

Rachel later said that her tiff with Kristen was intense. And after talking it over with Brendon, it was decided that she’d go and apologize. The thing is, though, Kristen didn’t accept. Rachel extended an olive branch, and Kristen was like, “whatevs.”

Anyway, so the time comes for Rachel to show off her HoH room, and ta-dah, Kristen lazily says she won’t attend. I don’t really blame her. In fact, the other houseguests were probably jealous that she had an excuse to bail.

Why? None of them like Rachel.

-“Rachel’s HoH again, so here goes the brownnosing” – Enzo
-“Who wants to see my HoH room? Nobody. In fact, we’d rather go hang ourselves. But guess who’s ‘most’ excited? Me” – Britney
-“Yo, you got a remote!” – Enzo
-“I wanted to commit suicide the entire time” – Hayden

The houseguests assembled in the living room and learned they’d be competing for a chance to catch a sneak preview of The Other Guys. You know, the Will Ferrell/Mark Wahlberg flick.

Big Brother does this every year. It’s actually kind of lame. Houseguests are paid to say that the trailer “was the funniest thing they’d ever seen” and yada yada. Bah, it irks me.

The game they’d eventually play had the houseguests splitting into three groups of three and running around an obstacle course within the confines of a “vehicle” powered by foot. (Think The Flintstones, but even more primitive).

The Ragan/Kristen/Kathy car moved the slowest. Ragan related having Kathy on his team to Weekend at Bernie’s, in that he felt like he was just carrying around a dead body. I dug it.
