Well Britney is toast, and she has no one to blame but herself. At least she made it to F4, good for her. The second half of her seasonal game-play was all luck, and I knew it had to run out at some point. Fortunately for my entertainment level, there's only one more week left of this dull season so her eviction won't be as bad as Jen's eviction halfway through BB8, which left me with absolutely no one else to root for. The only person left for me to root for now is Hayden and fortunately, he's got the best chance of pulling it off. Kudos to him for winning both HOH and POV this week!
BB factoid: F4 HOH and F4 POV has only been won by the same person once before (BB9's Ryan, thereby keeping his nominations intact) and there has only been one other time where the original nominees at F4 stayed the same (BB5 when non-nominated Cowboy won the F4 POV). That means this is only the third time out of 9 seasons where one of the original nominees didn't win F4 POV. I thought Lane and Britney had a good shot in terms of precedent, but not good enough obviously.
Lane's only shot at an endgame that benefits him (i.e Britney in the F2 with him) is to convince Hayden to use the veto on him so he can vote out Enzo (the only other major threat for jury votes). However, Hayden would be stupid to take that deal (and he's not stupid, so he won't) since Enzo/Lane would be much easier to beat for Final HOH, than Britney/Lane.
