Well, I was sad to see Brittany go, but loved her "If I can't be a part of the brigade, I am proud to have been a brigade casualty" comment.

I think it will be Hayden for the win...

Me too- sad for her leaving, but I think once the shock wore off she handled it really well. My husband's comment was that she shouldn't be upset that they had an alliance but the way they told her- acting cocky & rubbing it in. But I don't think they were doing that on purpose, especially Enzo. That's just how he talks. And they were so excited to finally say something, own up to the alliance, and brag about how much they had done. Still, some of the comments or gestures or whatever were not particularly nice/understanding.

I don't know- I think the brigade getting that far was part luck, especially at first. In the middle & end they were able to save each other, but I don't think they necessarily had control of the game like they think they did. Seems like they just managed to redirect attention elsewhere. So yes it was good and worked for them, but I don't think it was as incredible as they seem to think it is.

I understand your point - I was saying to my mom tonight that it was more of a passive aggressive way to tell her. Rather than come straight out and go, "Hey, Brittney, we've been in a 3-man alliance since Day 2", Enzo (even if it's the way he talks), has to be all "pussyfooting" around the subject, trying to bait Lane into say something *or* be SO obvious that he's trying to tell Brittney about it without coming out and saying anything. That's what bugged me (but I haven't been as big a fan of Enzo for most of the season anyways).

I totally agree with this point - and even though Hayden's come on strong the last few weeks, I really feel that a lot of it was Matt's work at the beginning to keep most of the heat off of all of them that got these three to the end.

the most boring season to date in my opinion.

Yep

Oh god, that's so sad. She is going to be blindsided.

I really hope they don't show that on TV. While it would make "good drama" or whatever for ratings, that would be harsh. Hopefully they have some class, but we'll see.

I'm just glad to hear that her fiance & dogs made it out okay. Talk about a rude shock back into reality after three months of seclusion :(

Why is Rachel always wearing that dayglo green monstrosity under things?

Welp, Hayden won and while that was no big surprise to me, I was still disappointed. By the final two, I preferred Lane. But I really felt that Annie summed it up best. The brigade was Enzo's idea, he was the most loyal, he was the most manipulative, AND he never had a side alliance and still made it to the final three.

I'm glad Brittney got America's player, though. In fact, I wonder if CBS fixed the results so she would win, to help out with the fire and whatnot.
