And the Saboteur Is...

Well, the truth is, I'm not 100 percent certain but I am pretty sure who the saboteur is. Well almost, not quite, but pretty sure. How's that for a degree of certainty?

Actually, it's easier to tell who is not the saboteur, and by process of elimination, who the saboteur is. Makes perfect sense to me!

By default, I really think the saboteur is someone who is likely to be off everyone's radar. I also believe it's probably someone who has little chance of winning the actual game, and jumped at the chance to win $50,000.

I think it's safe to eliminate a man from the list of possibilities simply because "Big Brother" has used a male antagonist for the past several seasons. Time to switch it up for BB12!

But just for the sake of argument, let's review the male candidates.

Hayden is definitely not the saboteur. He lacks the pre-knowledge of BB to make it happen, and he's conceited enough to feel that he will go the entire distance.

Ragan is out of the running in my opinion because they would probably not want to lose their only gay contestant to a twist.

Andrew was an early favorite for saboteur, but he's too obvious — both to his housemates and to the fans. His bio hinted at it and his actions have strongly suggested that he might be, but why give so many hints to viewers if he is the saboteur.

Next up is Matt, who also has strong possibilities but IMO, he's one of the strongest and best players in recent history. I doubt if he would risk his own game reputation to play a side game of sabotaging the game.

Of the men, Lane is the most forgettable at this point. When I've seen him, however, there's just something about him that screams, "I'm not capable of being the saboteur!"I know, great reasoning!

Then there's Enzo, who seems to have a huge ego, and I think he, like Matt, would really want to play the game to win.

Finally, there's Brendon who strolled around the house in the dark looking for his toothbrush. Who does that? Everyone else stays put, but he's roaming a dark, unfamiliar house? Again, too obvious, and too easy.

I think BB encouraged some of the players to move about during "unusual" times. Andrew was easy because it was part of his game play to keep players off balance, so he saw an opportunity to play with his house mates and made it happen. Brandon, on the other hand, could have been told, "If something out of the ordinary happens, just go about your usual routine."

Personally, I maintain that the storage room door was locked while they were in the backyard for the HOH competition. Julie did say the producers were helping the saboteur out, and what better way than to not have the saboteur lock the door at all but to have it already locked.

On to the women: Annie stood out on the feeds as being very disruptive, running between various groups and sharing information. Many house guests felt that she was the saboteur, but she seems a little too obvious — the Andrew of the women.

Monet seems a little bland and, if she turns out to be the saboteur, she's the best actress in the world. She just doesn't fit the mold of someone with the potential to sabotage.

Next there's Rachel, who is too, well, Rachel, for lack of a better word. She came to the house for whatever fame she can net and a showmance. Right now, she's too preoccupied by Brendon to be sabotaging the game, in my opinion. I doubt if the saboteur would have enmeshed themselves in a week one personal relationship.

Britney could be the saboteur with her "knee" injury that healed quickly after she was allowed to move on without actually moving on. The only problem is that she did not actually hurt or prevent her team from winning. I also think her age, in this case, prevents her from being the saboteur.

Kristen is the toughest read, and I think she's possibly the one with a prior relationship that the saboteur alluded to in a message earlier in the week. She doesn't give a lot of personal information but she's probably reluctant to go in that direction. She's also bonded with Hayden and I think the saboteur would probably not form a close bond with someone too early in the game.

Finally, there's Kathy who, in my opinion, has the most potential to be the saboteur, and here's why.

First, older women don't generally make it far in the game. Sheilah (BB9) made it to the final three, Renny (BB11) made it to the final five but these were exceptions rather than the rule. Kail (BB8) was out before the jury and Tonya (BB3) left in the first few weeks. So, an opportunity to make $50,000 in the first five weeks might have appealed to her.

Second, her performance in competitions makes her a suspect. She was the main reason that her team failed to win the competition. Her efforts to grab the wiener were lame. She crouched even when jumping with the help of Enzo and Brendon. She didn't even bother to try for the upper part of the bag that would have been less slippery.

Then in the food competition, she got herself mired down in the caramel to the point where she could not even move? I agree that it was difficult, but even Renny made it through a similar challenge.

Kathy looks like she's in great shape, and she should be fairly logical. Rachel figured out that less is more in this case. Rachel is a tall woman who managed to avoid the obstacles by crawling on her hands and knees, making sure that her body did not fully touch the caramel.

Then, in the popcorn, Kathy gingerly tore open the bags. Later, she told Britney that she (Britney) was spared the exhausting part of the challenge by not having to go into the popcorn. Well, okay then.

Next, we have the saboteur putting tape on Britney and Kathy's photos. I think the possibility was to throw everyone off by targeting herself by the saboteur. Obviously, the saboteur would never target herself by placing tape over her face, or would she?

My money is on Kathy for the saboteur. Now watch, it will turn out to be Monet!
