The Big Brother Repulsion Index: Snuffing Out the Saboteur

If you suspected that CBS's ploy to plant a saboteur in the Big Brother house would blow up in the network's face, you suspected correctly... and should probably oversee all Big Brother saboteur coordination from this point forward. But first, let's learn from the network's mistakes by revisiting the most pathetic plot twist in Big Brother history and evaluating the three most loathsome houseguests who barely made it through last night's eviction.

3. Britney ("The Blonde")

Most Terrible Thing Done on Camera: Dissing Another Houseguest's Fashion Choices

Repulsiveness Profile: Eviction episodes are the hardest to gauge for specific acts of repulsion (SAOR) because so much time is devoted to Julie Chen, houseguest voting and recapping that week's episodes. Fortunately for viewers, Britney managed to sneak some Mean Girls commentary into the night's events by sending Annie a particularly nasty farewell message: "As a friend to a friend, I'd advise you to stop wearing those ill-fitting flats and lay off the silver eye shadow."

2. Brendon ("The Emotional Jock")

Most Terrible Thing Done on Camera: Making Out with Rachel While Discussing Strategy

Repulsiveness Profile: After forming a makeshift alliance with both Annie and Rachel (the latter of whom he has already begun a showmance with), Brendon distanced himself from Annie as soon as she was put on the chopping block. A good game strategy, yes. But if Annie's claim is true that Brendon made a move on her before he advanced to Rachel, then Brendon might be more of a cad and a conniver than the houseguests realize.

1. Annie ("The Lackluster Saboteur")

Most Terrible Things Done on Camera: Groveling, Lashing Out at Castmates and (according to Britney) Overusing Silver Eye Shadow

Repulsiveness Profile: When the Tampa bartender entered the house, she displayed every personality trait necessary for a Big Brother win: She was sharp yet agreeable and completely willing to fly under the radar. (In fact, she faded into the background so well the first week that viewers at home voted her the second-least likely to be the saboteur.) What Big Brother producers perhaps did not anticipate was the speed at which Annie, the chosen saboteur, would crack under pressure.

Within ten minutes of being put on the block, Annie went from being virtually invisible to the most horrible houseguest, thanks to a few snarky jabs at her housemates as well as a desperate, last-ditch outing of Brendon's real occupation (For those keeping score at home, he is a swim coach and has a masters degree in applied physics -- which means, to Big Brother players, that he is a genius). After she had been voted off the show, Annie found a way to make herself even more repulsive by dissing a housemate into the camera ("He flirted with me first, Rachel"). In the future, CBS, you might want to conduct more extensive temperament checks on your saboteurs. Or just bring back Eric Stein.
