Big Brother 13 - Brenchel lives, a little piece of me dies

Previously on Big Brother... Brendon went home, Rachel cried, Lawon made a move nearly as awful as his suits.

On Thursday's Big Brother, we saw the resolution of Lawon's brilliant plant to sacrifice himself for eviction based on his (incorrect) deduction that he would come back in the house as HOH.

Naturally, he was wrong. The other HGs did, in fact, fulfill Lawon's wish to be voted out but that's where the plan fell to pieces. Instead of automatically coming back in as HOH, Lawon had to compete with a previously-evicted HG of America's choosing to return to the house.

And, damn you America, you chose Brendon.

Now, personally, I think this is some of that producer-meddling we hear so much about - that's right, I call hijinks. Because personally I don't know of a single person who voted for Brendon. And looking around at the most popular BB forums and sites, it doesn't look like a lot of other people were voting Brendon back in the game. I myself voted for Cassi/Olivia Wilde, if only for the amusement of seeing Rachel's head explode.

But, no. America chose Brendon and Brendon handily won against Lawon.

And then it happened. Rachel ran toward her man, leaped through the air and wrapped her legs around him as she hugged him.

She's done this a few times and it never fails. It creeps me out to see it every. single. time. I'm not even exactly sure, but there's something about it that just seems so wrong to me and watching it makes me feel like I'm seeing something I'm not supposed to. And the discomfort of seeing it, the thought of watching these two jackasses and their idiotic arguments and banter for even another minute let alone another week, it took over and I felt a little piece of my heart shrivel up and die, the same way it does every time I meet someone who actually likes Sarah Palin.

Of course with these two, the only person who feels like they shouldn't be watching their intimate moments is the audience. They have no problem getting down in front of the BB cameras and we all know Brendon likes to share.

So Brenchel lives to continue to steal pieces of my soul and innocence, bit by bit. The show ended with Danielle looking peeved and Rachel telling Brendon all about how mean everyone has been to her.

Oh, well. At least we can hope for an epic fight between these two if Brendon wins a veto again - because he clearly learned this week that Rachel left in the house on her own will fall apart. I don't think he'll make that mistake again.

What did you think of last night's episode? Was Lawon's move the dumbest in Big Brother history or does Marcellas still own that honor?
