He should have realized that the rest of the Brigade is absolutely NOTHING without him, as he is the only one that can win competitions (he even has complained about Enzo and Lane not even trying in competitions). He also should have realized that it is only a matter of time before the Brigade turns on him, and he will be the first one they vote out because he wins everything.
Matt should have formed a secret alliance with Rachel and Brendon, because no one would have expected it…he could then bring in Britney and made a secret pact with the other three to make it to Final Four.
After realizing this, Matt should have decided to turn against the Brigade before they turned on him. He could have exposed to Britney that Hayden, Lane, and Enzo are in an alliance, and he could have gotten Britney to use the POV to take down Rachel and put Hayden up in his place (backdoor Hayden). If Matt was worried about this, he could have sold his move by saying that he believed Hayden is the saboteur. Then Matt could have pulled in Britney, Rachel, Ragan, and Kathy to vote Hayden out.
Next week, it would not have mattered who won the HOH or POV competitions, because Matt has the power to overthrow everything with the Diamond Veto. He could have backstabbed Lane and Enzo right before the eviction and put them on the block. Enzo would have gone home, and Lane would be a sitting duck at that point.
Following this, Matt, Britney, Rachel, and Brendon could have picked off Kathy and Ragan, and they would have had a clear path to final four.
Now THIS is how a REAL Big Brother player – like Will Kirby or Evel Dick Donato would have played this game. Matt is a coward and not anywhere near the genius he thinks he is. I can’t wait to see the Brigade turn on him.
