Call Me Crazy

I don't know if I'm more excited that the Big Brother 12 season has finally begun or because the power has shifted in the house again this week, but I am so excited that Rachel won HOH tonight!

If you had asked me last week how I would be feeling if this happened tonight, I probably would have told you that I'd be cancelling my feeds. Seriously. So I'm as shocked as anybody that I'm actually looking forward to a Rachel HOH week.

Yes, I know there's going to be Brenchel kissy slurpy time up in the HOH room. I'm not too fond of that. Yes, I know there's going to be Rachel's crazy laughter and mood swings. I can deal with that. Yes, I know that Brendon will be sewing the fringe that's on the bag that he's given to Rachel that holds his testicles. I've been expecting that additional adornment.

But I'm excited because Rachel being HOH this week will shake things up in the house. I don't care if she makes emotional or strategical (did you see what I did there?) nominations this week. I don't care if she nominates people because of their favorite color or favorite movie. Let's just have something really exciting happen this week after the fantastic night tonight.

And while I'm still a Rachel hater, I have to give it to the girl. She's playing hard. She (and Brendon) are doing what it takes to stay in the game when both of them have been targeted since the very beginning. I have respect for her (and Brendon) when it comes to that.

So are you glad or mad that Rachel won HOH? Who do you think she's going to nominate? Are you finding yourself cheering for Brenchel as underdogs? Finally, I'm interested in where you think Kristen would be at in this game without Hayden right now. Let me know in the comments!
