Rachel is a lot of things but sincere is not one of them. Stuck on the block with her showmance partner, Rachel seems to have spent the majority of the past few days sitting in the Diary Room crying fake tears as she laments her fate.
She knows instinctively that she is the obvious choice to go to the jury house, so she spends a lot of time mourning her own loss. There's a certain irony though that she can't manage to muster a few real tears for her dilemma. She makes crying-like noises but can't even maintain a sad expression which makes me wonder if she's had one too botox treatments.
Rachel and her man have no one to blame but themselves for their current problems. They chose to throw their fellow allies, Annie and Andrew under the bus simply because of Rachel's inexplicable jealousies. They chose to isolate themselves from much of the house spending time alone together under the covers. When they did socialize, Rachel tended to be obnoxiously self-centered while her male half was unbelievably boring.
The fact that they lasted this long in the game is an amazing feat in itself and is due to two HOH and two POV wins between them.
So, understandably, they went into the veto competition with some confidence. The veto comp featured a bowling game with a smaller than average size ball and pair of pouty players. Oh, and Jeff and Jordan were in the house to host the comp called "Lovers Lane."
Rachel was first up and scored six out of 10 in 45 seconds. She chose to bowl against Kathy, who scored a two for one knockdown to eliminate Rachel with a score of seven. Kathy's relatively minor celebration would come back to haunt her.
Brendon followed with an unbelievably sucky performance of just three and even threw the ball in anger in the general direction Jeff and Jordan. A few moments later, Britney managed a four to knock him out. Once he was gone, the party started with the remaining players laughing and joking, and having a great time. For the third time, Brit donned the veto medal and control of the game.
Mean time, Rachel sulked and refused to comfort her man as he sought her out following his dismal performance. Later, Rachel confronted Kathy because of her celebration after she eliminated Rachel during the POV. Rachel demanded an apology saying that she had no morals or character for celebrating. Hello Rachel, this is your conscience speaking, by your own standards, you have no morals or character because every time you have won, you have celebrated. For the first time in the game, Kathy showed a fire that might get her further in the game. I was cheering her on as she confronted Rachel the Barbarian!
At this point, her man hatched a plan to be her knight in shining armor to keep her in the house. I don't know what's in the water this year but there's been some incredibly dumb game play this season. His speech was off the charts stupid and ranks up there with Andrew's veto speech.
On another note: the saboteur tasks were a little on the ridiculous side with the exception of turning Rachel and Brendon against each other. He accomplished the task without having to even attempt it in the house proper. What's up with that? A few well placed words face-to-face would have definitely went a long way in accomplishing the distrust.
The saboteur should have to work on the inside of the house doing things which change up the game in subtle ways. Saboteurs don't always need to be blowing up bridges, sometimes the subtle sabotage is the best.
