Because of this ****ty, boring alliance full of male *****s that call themselves the 'Brigade'.

All the entertaining people (and not to mention, WOMEN) are being voted out. Annie, Monet, Andrew, Kristen and now most likely Rachel. The only girls that will be left are Britney and Kathy. Brendon will probably be out next week, then Kathy, then Britney, and then Ragan. We will be left with the most boring alliance in BB history in the end, that didn't even do ANYTHING to deserve their position in the house. The only thing they have that others don't is numbers. They are the majority and they basically handpick which housemate they want to leave each week.

The only hope would be if somehow Ragan, Britney, Kathy, and Rachel/Brendon teamed up but there's not a chance in hell that would happen.

**** you Allison Grodner, for casting these four useless idiots.

But since Britney has won three vetos now, I have hope in her that she can make it far since she's very good at competitions. But once she leaves, I will definitely stop watching.

Uhrm... the point is to try and get yourself as far as you can, right? The Brigade is easily the most dominant "Week 1 four-person alliance" in BB USA history seeing as now they're GUARANTEED to make up 50% of the house and haven't lost anyone in 5 weeks.

PS: Who cares about the gender? BBUSA is an equal opportunity game.

Exactly. Some boring ****ty alliance that everyone hates takes over and votes out all the fan favorites. Except usually, 1 or 2 of the favorites are able to make to the end or at least close. Jeff and Jordan in BB11, Keesha in BB10, (nobody in BB9, horrid season), Daniele and Dick in BB8, and Janelle in BB7 and BB6. Hopefully Britney will be the one this season...

I already predict we will end up with another boring, predictable male winner like Matt or Hayden.

Thats because they are the ONLY Week 1 four person alliance in BB history. Just because they are dominant doesn't mean they are actually good players. Like I said, the only way they are making it for is because they have numbers. They haven't made any bold moves or won any major competitions really.

The point about gender is, most people don't want to watch a show that is completely dominated by the males. It's boring and predictable.

The same thing is happening to BBUK this season, it's all dominated by the males.

Chilltown (BB2), Mrs. Robinson (BB8), Jessie/Angie/Memphis/Michelle (BB10), Lisa/Eric/Roddy/Chiara (BB3), Season6ers (BB7) & Four Horsemen (BB5) ring a bell. If you include 4+ alliances you have "The Elite Eight" (BB4), "The NBKs" (BB11), "The Dumb 5" (BB11), "The Late-Night-Club" (BB8) and more.

The reason they are dominant isn't number based at all. An alliance of 8-9 can blow it if the one person they don't like gets HoH (and we've seen this happen). The reason they're dominant is the manner in which they're operating (in the shadows). Just like BB3's Jason and Danielle, the house is pretty much clueless as to their existence.

Also, each Brigader has/had a sub-alliance that will not put them up (Lane with Britney, Matt with Ragan, Hayden had Kristen, Enzo doesn't but he has a great social game that keeps him off everyone's radar for now). This is an integral part to their gameplay that's paying dividends at the moment.

BBUSA is essentially an equal-opportunity game. Aside from starting with 7 Men to 6 Women, it's fair. Traditional BB is different altogether, more women vote and the Bieber-crazed teenyboppers jumping up and down with a "John James is Proper Fit" mentality skew it toward male winners more often then not (except in the Philippines for some reason).

Sure, more guys have won BBUSA than girls, probably because a majority of the guys seem to be able to check their emotions at the door better.

i know

obv the best players

are

rachel brendon britney and matt

that is 1/4 of the bridgde are good

rachel is good because she won 2 HoH and in the vetos always comes 2nd next to brendon

brendon is good because he seems to do well in vetos and halve not competition

britney same above vetos

matt because of HoH

so 3/4 of bridgate are awful

[iRyan]

The difference though, is all those alliances had OTHER alliances they were competing against. The Brigade is the only real alliance in this game. They simply don't have any competition. Brendon/Rachel don't exactly count since they are just a couple who obviously have each others backs.

If 'The Brigade' were to be in any other season of BB, they would hardly last a week. It's just that this season is filled with alot of dumb players.

And as much as I dislike Matt, he's the only one even doing anything. Hayden, Lane, and Enzo suck at competitions and haven't done jack ****.

[Jords]

I havnt seen past seasons but I agree with all the points on the current one. The Brigade are hopeless and its only because of their numbers like you say. I wish the others listened to Kristen and formed an opposition alliance.

I dont know what it is about all the girls being evicted first and Big Brother.

Winning comps =/= being a good player. Dr. Will and to an extent Danielle during BB3 are prime examples there.

Hayden and Lane are throwing 'em, and Enzo's finishing well in the comps.

Others just sitting back and not building alliances/playing hard...it really just adds to the point they're the most dominant. They control the game's course almost completely.

I'm annoyed by the Male Dominated show this year. Only brigade member i like is Matt because hes actually doing something, G.T.F.O Enzo, Hayden, Lane, Those 3 do nothing, its Matt who's doing the work.
They seem incapable of making a big move this year, Matt's doing ok (Don't agree with his lie but he actually has some game play) but the rest are thinking personally instead of strategically.
Hayden should have gone last week over Kristen.

I believe that this is a show for the viewers to enjoy and that the producers will get Ragan to do something with his new Saboteur status and Americas choice will help to effect something. The four Brigade members will not be the final 4 in this game, I just sense it.

I really hope so.

If Rachel's evicted this week, that means the end of BB12.

BB11 had so many dumb players (Lydia, Chima, Natalie, Jessie, etc) but it was so ****ing epic.

[Firewire]

Britney's still my favourite and as a fan of Rachel too, it will be boring without her.

The Brigade should have failed. ALLIANCES NEVER WORK!

If Britney can keep herself of the block by winning the veto, the YOU GO GURL!

[Wildcat!]

What? What a dumbass contradictory OP this is! They are dominating, because of exactly the point of the game. Get in a posituion to control and win. NOt to mention, that no one really truly knows that they are an alliance. Clearly when you see rachel telling Lane that he is gonna try to bribe matt, and then put him up next. They are doing a great job!

BBUSA really dont give a shiit about the gender! No one cares, and if these guys end up final 4, they wouldve accomplished what no one ever had before, period! And they look well on their way!

this is a very good season! I hated the last one, when someone riding a coatail all season end up winning, because of Jury sour grapes! I much prefer one of them 4 brigade members than that!

[Braden]

Your so right, it's because the house is full of brainless morons. Kristen was so right when she said about houguests not having their opinions, Ragan, Brendon and Britney could have done the same as Kathy and got rid of the obvious threat who had already won one HOH, but no they get rid of someone who has just floated across the weeks as they went past. There are so many non-tactical players in there!

[BBfanUSA]

they are starting to doubt that there is a alliance between the big muscle guys

Yeah, nobody has a backbone and nobody is willing to vote away from the crowd, that's why the votes to evict are always a landslide for the evictee.

That's not true. On this show, the girls are usually the fan favorites, not the guys. Jordan, Keesha, Sharon, Daniele, Janelle, etc. Viewers don't want to see a show dominated by males, it's uninteresting.

And the most popular alliances, are the ones that have both males and females in them. Believe me when I tell you the Brigade is NOT popular. The majority of viewers are sick of them.

[LemonJam]

Well I found that Brechel were ruining the season because they were such absolute dip****s but just kept winning everything.

Wildcat! and T pretty much answered everything for me.

[MrGaryy]

I'm stilling waiting for the power move of the series in a Britney/Lane alliance. I really think it could happen because pretty soon the Brigade are gonna have to start picking each other off.

But I mean it's kind of a given that either Britney or Matt will win this series. maybe Lane but the others have no chance. Brenchel will be split this week and after that it's unlikely that the other one will stand much hope.

[Wildcat!]

anything can happen, if the brigade arent loyal. but i think they will stay loyal, and string britney along.
i really think they have a chance to run the table. They dont have to betray each other, or else, they wont get the jury votes!

[reece(:]

This is what ruined BB12, all the good HGs out the door by week 5.
