Pretzelgate

I just don't get what's the big deal with this pretzelgate business.

Ok, so what ...Rachel left Matt's name in pretzels as a "message" to Brendon to nominate him.

What's the big fucking deal with that? I just don't get why this matters at all... Can someone please explain why this is even being mentioned as much as it has been...

I say this because...

I know Matt had mentioned in his HOH blog last week that he might not use it... and that was last week so a lot has changed from then until now.

It's not like Matt was trying hard to not get Brendon to put him up, as a matter of fact Matt even went so far as to tell Britney that it was ok to throw him uner the bus to Matt and to push for Brendon to put him up on the block. So to me it seems like Matt was wanting to go up on the block to have reason to use the DPoV. Why else would he not try that hard to keep himself as the replacement nominee and why would he tell Britney to throw him under the bus.

With all that being said... back to the pretzels....SO WHAT?

For the simple fact that it FORCES Matt to use the DPOV (What BB wanted) and its probably not the best thing to have happen for his game. Because Brendon knew from the message that this is what Rachel wanted, thats what he did. Had he not gotten the message, who knows. It still may have been Matt. I am not up in arms about it (there have been far far more worse interferences by bb) but do see where Matt has a beef. You allow a JURY member to come back into the house and leave a message for the HOH???? WTF? Why not just give her pen and paper and let her draft a letter to him telling him what to do? This whole season is laughable. I brought up in the other thread that Natalie and Kevin couldnt even make a calender using the chess board and candy (which I thought was a great idea).

You know as well as I that BB watches EVERYTHING....how is it that they missed this? Well because THIS is what they wanted.

Well said Sister Lorraine!!!

Am I watching a different live feeds than everyone else?

Matt told Britney to throw him under the bus to Brendon which leads ME to believe he wanted to be up on the block.

Matt never once pushed for Britney to go up on the block to Brendon, nor did he push to keep himself off the block.

Quite the opposite, everyone had commented how cocky and fine he seemed and encouraged him to at least go talk to Brendon.

So again how is it fucking with his game?

I think Matt is just acting upset by the pretzel message and using it as an excuse. I don't believe he had a talk with BB production in regards to the pretezel message and they told him they didn't catch it.

Noway do I see this being a factor at all. Brendon already knew Rachel wanted Matt gone so what...this isn't some huge revelation. As a matter of fact before Rachel was evicted Thursday I never saw Rachel ever mention Lane's name to be nominated if Brendon was to win HOH. Brendon did what he wanted and he put Matt on the block not because of the pretzel message. Brendon said yesterday the reason why he put Matt up is the meeting he had with Ragan where Ragan didn't assure him he'd keep him safe if he was to win HOH and the fact Matt didn't really make any effort to talk to him.

I think the fans are making a big deal about it based off Matt acting like he's pissed off by it and I believe Matt made up the lie about production saying they didn't catch it. I don't believe there was ever any talk with production about it.

I agree, Erika.... I think Matt is trying to use that to his advantage. I'm only a Showtime watcher, but from what I'm seeing online of the logging of the feeds, it doesn't sound like they're going to fish or bubbles when Matt has brought up talking to the diary room about it. That leads me to believe that he didn't say anything and he's trying to spin this in his favor.
