Big Brother 13 Backyard Interviews, Danielle, Eric Stein Of BB8 Are Besties

You can find the Evel Dick interviews, at the Dog Dave Big Brother page, but the language used is not for kids and most grownups may be offended also. http://dogdave.com/bb.html

A better option might be the CBS interviews at the CBS.com website:

http://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/

Danielle Donato and Eric Stein may have not been friends on Big Brother 8 but things have changed since then. Stein who was America’s player that season, has been named Danielle’s bestie by Danielle in a conversation with Porsche Briggs during the Big Brother 13 season.

The following interview with Stein, doesn’t delve very far into their relationship, but he definitely was rooting for her to win, in Big Brother 13.

Big Brother 13: Rachel Reilly Wins Big Brother 13, Did CBS Manipulate the Game?

Rachel Reilly shown celebrating with her boyfriend Brendon Villegas after being told she had won the Big Brother 13 reality show on the CBS network.

Rachel Reilly won Big Brother 13 in a year of surprises on the CBS reality show.

Her boyfriend Brendon Villegas, Jeff Schroeder, Jordan Lloyd and Shelly Moore cast their votes for her making Rachel a 4-3 winner with Adam Poch, Danielle Donato and Kalia Booker voting for the losing Porsche Briggs.

Rachel had won the final HOH by answering questions about the house guests in the juror house and won the questions competition over Porsche.

The turning point in the game to me was when Porsche opened Pandora’s Box and won $5,000 for herself and $5,000 for Kalia. However, by her accepting the money she unleashed the duo twist in the veto competition that week.

With Rachel and Jordan on the block, Rachel won the veto and removed herself and Jordan off the block and set in motion, for Rachel to win $500,000 last night.

Did CBS Manipulate the Game in Favor of Rachel?

Viewers of the show will wonder if the CBS producers, manipulated the game so Rachel and Jordan remain in the game longer. If Rachel had left the house that week, the ratings for the show probably would have plummeted. Rachel provided most of the drama this year, so without drama the ratings would have almost certainly dropped. Instead Big Brother 13 had some of the highest ratings in the history of the show.

Then when Rachel found Pandora’s Box during her last reign of being HOH, the prizes were good and bad, but nothing to affect the game. Rachel was stuck with the egotistical maniac Jessie Godderz, the professional wrestler while she watched Adam and the other house guests spending time with Tori Spelling. Later she watched as they went shopping for clothes outside the Big Brother house.

My question is why didn’t Rachel have an equally bad punishment, as Porsche for opening Pandora’s Box. Sure having to spend time with Jessie was punishment in itself, but nothing like the punishment Porsche received when both of her nominated house guests were allowed to be removed from the block by the duo twist, when Rachel won the veto.

Game Winnings

This may or may not be the correct total of winnings on Big Brother 13 but since it is $600,000 exactly it may correct:

Rachel Reilly –     $500,000

Porsche Briggs –    $55,000

Jeff Schroeder –     $40,000

Kalia Booker –            $5,000

Total                          $600,000

Key to Rachel Winning Big Brother 13

The key to Rachel winning was that after Brendon left the last time, that Rachel played more of a social game. She abandoned her earlier strategy, of infuriating the other house guests with her catty remarks.

Rachel fought overwhelming odds by winning HOH”s and Veto competitions, when she needed them to stay alive in the game. It may be that when Brendon left the house, that it forced her to play a different kind of game.

Porsche Briggs Wins $50,000 in Finale

Porsche Briggs won $50,000 on Big Brother 13 finale.

Porsche Briggs won second prize money of $50,000 last night to go with the $5,000 she received from Pandora’s Box for a total of $55,000 in winnings during Big Brother 13.

For most of the season Porsche was the anonymous house guest, but then later in the game, came into her own and was a fierce competitor. She finished second in many competitions, then started winning competitions near the end of the game.

Big Brother 13 Summary: Big Brother 13 started out with eight new house guests, then the duo twist was introduced and Jeff Schroeder, Jordan Lloyd, Evel Dick Donato, Danielle Donato, Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly entered the house.  Evel Dick let the house after only six days for some mysterious reason which was never revealed. It may have been just as well, since he had gall bladder surgery in the last few days, so may not have been able to finish the season anyway.

Rachel and Brendon started the game with a chip on their shoulders, playing the game way too personally. I particularly recall Cassi and Kalia trying to have a civil conversation with Brendon and he turned the whole conversation around, acting very hostile toward both of them. The worst thing is that Kalia was wanting to know if she was still included in their alliance, but by the time the conversation was over, Brendon was calling her a liar. So he lost an alliance member, by his failure to communicate with Kalia on a normal level.

Shelly and Adam seemed to be with the veterans, but then when it suited them they would switch to the other side. Danielle’s alliance with Dominic was one of the bigger mistakes of the game. All she succeeded in was causing Dominic to go home.

Kalia, instead of going along with Danielle during Kalia’s first HOH, decided to show she was her own woman and nominated Lawon, who was not a threat to anyone. Lawon was the worst player this year and a terrible competitor, but Shelly was an even worse competitor. She played further into the game, but still never won the first competition.

When Jeff left, Rachel and Jordan were left to fend for themselves, since Brendon had been nominated and evicted for the second time. Shelly was caught in a lie by Jordan and Rachel and that spelled the end for Shelly, even though she wasn’t evicted for another couple of weeks.

As stated earlier, Porsche put her alliance in jeopardy by taking the $5,000 in Pandora’s box. That is the point at which Rachel and Jordan got an extra week in the house, when it looked like either Rachel or Jordan was going home that week.

Adam talked a good game, but didn’t win anything on his own, till very late in the game. Even at the end he was talking about having to win a competition, then he would lose the competition. Men did not do well in the endurance competitions, as Danielle and Rachel won the endurance competitions.

Rachel deserved to win, even though CBS gave her some assistance with the Pandora’s Box coming into play. That wasn’t her fault since she played the cards she was dealt with and turned it into $500,000. Rachel and Brendon should now have the money for their big wedding and the money should help with Brendon’s studies as he tries for his Ph.D.

The house guests for the most part will disappear back into society, like they usually do after their season is over, with most of them never heard from again.

Two months from now, it will be difficult to even find anything about what they are doing by doing a Google search.

ONLY 9 MONTHS AND 20 DAYS TILL BIG BROTHER 14 STARTS NEXT JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Brother 13: HOH Part 2 Winner Revealed: Spoilers Alert!!!!!!!!!!!

SPOILERS ALERT!!!!

SPOILERS ALERT!!!!

SPOILERS ALERT!!!!

SPOILERS ALERT!!!!

HOH PART 2 WINNER REVEALED

DO NOT READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW 

THE RESULTS TILL THE WEDNESDAY FINALE

Big Brother 13 started July 7 and the season will end Wednesday night after a season in which veterans of past Big Brother seasons competed against eight newbies.

Porsche Briggs of the newbies side will battle veteran Rachel Reilly to see which one will win the final HOH of the season. Rachel had won Part 1 of the HOH, while Porsche defeated Adam Poch in Part 2, setting up Wednesday’s battle.

Rachel and Porsche apparently plan to take each other to the final two, as of today at least, but that could change.

It seems to me that a smarter game move for Rachel or Porsche would be to take Adam to the final two. It would almost insure them of winning the $500,000 since Adam has not done much, in the way of winning competitions till lately.

On the other hand Porsche and Rachel, have been better overall competitors, with Rachel winning three HOH’s and Porsche trying to win most of her competitions, since she finished second so often.

This is all still conjecture, since it depends on who wins Part 3 and what their decision will be on Wednesday night. If Porsche or Rachel think it through, they may realize taking Adam to final two, would be the smart thing to do financially.

There is only 2 days and 12 hours from this minute on Monday morning, till the last show will be televised.

If there was any doubt that the producers manipulated the show this season, it was removed when Porsche couldn’t resist taking the $5,000 for herself from Pandora’s Box. CBS knew it would be too tempting for Porsche to pass up the chance to win the money. They also knew by unleashing the duo twist again, that it would keep two of their biggest drawing cards on the show, in Rachel and Jordan. Rachel true to form won the veto and saved her or Jordan from going home that week.

Then when Rachel opens Pandora’ s Box, Tori Spelling and Jessie Godderz were unleashed on the house, which didn’t affect the game at all. Will never forget Rachel watching the other house guests talking to Tori and shopping for free clothes, while Jessie is trying to distract her by posing and giving her products with his name on them.

This has to be one of the most successful shows ever, in the ratings and we undoubtedly will see CBS producers manipulate the show even more in the future to keep the high ratings.

Spoilers Alert!!!!!! HOH Endurance Results From Last Night

SPOILER ALERTS!!!!

SPOILER ALERTS!!!!

IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW

HOH ENDURANCE RESULTS  TILL

WEDNESDAY’S FINALE SHOW

Jordan Lloyd was evicted from Big Brother 13 when Porsche Briggs sent her home last night.

Porsche Briggs made an incredibly stupid game move last night, by sending Jordan Lloyd home. Why send home the worst competitor moments before the HOH endurance competition began?

Porsche’s reasoning was that Jordan had already won the half million dollars two years ago, on Big Brother 11. However by sending her home, she let a fierce competitor in Rachel remain in the game.

Then the HOH endurance started and Adam dropped after only 25 minutes. Porsche dropped before Rachel, who didn’t drop until 40 minutes into the endurance competition.

If Porsche had kept Jordan in the game, she probably would have won Part 1 of the three-part HOH competition, if Rachel had been evicted. She was so intent on evicting Jordan for winning the half million two years ago, she forgot that she was hurting her own chances of winning this year.

Porsche and Adam Play Part 2 of HOH Today

Now Porsche and Adam will play in Part 2 of the HOH competition today, with the winner playing against Rachel in the live finale on CBS, at 8:30 PM Central time next Wednesday. There will be no show on Sunday, so only one show remains in the Big Brother 13 season.

Rachel can take it easy till the live show, so has five days to study for the finale, assuming Part 3 will be questions, but that is not a certainty.

Veterans Took Control Early

The veterans took early control of the game after Evel Dick walked off the show on the sixth day. Keith, Cassi and Dominic were evicted in successive weeks, then Danielle evicted Brendon in the fourth week. Then Danielle evicted Brendon the first time on Day 34. However Brendon re-entered the house on Day 41, battling Lawon for the chance to re-enter the house and Brendon won, which sealed Lawon’s fate, evicting him from the game.

Danielle was evicted the following week, while Jeff, Shelly and Kalia were evicted in order, then Jordan was evicted last night, leaving only Porsche, Rachel and Adam, in the final three.

Porsche Makes Huge Mistake

Porsche made one of the biggest mistakes of the season, by opening Pandora’s box. She received $5,000 and gave another $5,000 to Kalia, but she unleashed a return to the duo twist for the veto game.

Jordan or Rachel would have gone home that week, but instead Rachel won the veto and removed Jordan and herself, from the block.

Producers Manipulated Game

When the duo twist was brought back into the game to save Rachel and Jordan from going on the block, it was a move by producers to keep the TV ratings high. If Rachel had been sent home that week, the ratings would have tumbled with little or no drama in the house.

The producers did a great job of manipulating the game to garner the highest ratings. It was a given that Rachel would win the donut competition for HOH, considering the competition, since Porsche the outgoing HOH couldn’t play. Her 20 donuts doubled Kalia’s total of 10, showing that Kalia doesn’t do well in competitions that involve movement.

Five Days to Finale

The last five days will be very boring in the Big Brother house except for Part 2 of the HOH competition today. Once that is over there will be only one competition left. Rachel has already insured that she will participate in Part 3 next Wednesday.

Right now Rachel is in a great place and if she wins Part 3, she will insure that she wins either the half million dollars or $50,000. Rachel played a better social game in the last few weeks and has dropped her catty attitude, which may help her receive more votes from the jury house.

Today’s poll asks who you think will win the $500,000 this season?

 

 

Big Brother 13: Spoiler Updates Since Wednesday’s Show

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHO WAS NOMINATED FOR EVICTION BY ADAM

OR WHO WON THE POV LAST NIGHT AFTER THE SHOW

Porsche Briggs and Rachel Reilly are the strongest competitors remaining in the Big Brother 13 house and may face each other and another contestant in the HOH endurance tonight.

And then there were four….With Kalia being evicted out of the Big Brother 13 house, that left Adam, Rachel, Porsche and Jordan as the final four.

Adam won HOH before the show ended last night. Adam nominated Porsche and Jordan for eviction. It is not clear when the POV ceremony will be, but Porsche is expected to take herself off the block and Adam would be forced to replace her with Rachel going on the block.

Porsche shown ironing what may be her eviction dress for tonight's show she is expecting to be evicted tonight.

Porsche will be the only voter and she is leaning toward evicting Jordan, since she won two years ago. I can understand her reasoning, but is it smart to keep a strong competitor like Rachel in the game, who is likely going to be her toughest competitor in the endurance portion of HOH tonight.

She may make a $50,000 or $500,000 mistake by keeping Rachel in the game. She might beat Rachel if they are in the final two, but she has no guarantee of reaching the final two, so evicting Jordan who is not much of a competitor could keep her out of the money. So what if Jordan has won before….that is not a good reason to make a stupid game move of her own.

I doubt Jordan and Adam would offer much competition for Porsche in the endurance HOH, but with Rachel who is the most athletic, of any of the  three remaining contestants,  if Jordan is convicted Porsche may regret sending Jordan home, if she does.

Jury House Confrontation

Last night we saw that Jeff has not forgiven or forgotten Shelly’s part in his eviction. It used to be that the jury house was sort of oasis, in which the contestants could forget the game, but looks like that has changed this season.

You would think that with no chance of winning the game, that those in the jury house would just cool it and enjoy the swimming pool and other amenities available at the jury house.

Pandora’s Box Just A Producer’s Tool

It was never more evident that Pandora’s box is nothing more than a producer’s tool to manipulate the game when punishment inflicted on the house resulted in Rachel and Jordan staying in the game. They knew Porsche would take the money, so they switched back to the couples format for one week, to give Rachel and Jordan a chance to stay in the game.

Next thing you knew Rachel won the POV and stayed in the game. The producers didn’t want Rachel leaving the show that soon, so they took matters into their own hands. If Rachel had left then, the house would likely be a house with no drama. Fans don’t tune into the show to see no drama, because that means lower ratings, so CBS stepped in and solved that problem.

However, when Rachel opened Pandora’s Box the house didn’t receive a punishment, but instead got to talk to Tori Spelling and go on a shopping spree for clothes. Rachel got the punishment having to put up with the repugnant Jessie Godderz, who has appeared in Big Brother four times.

He has appeared twice as a contestant and twice as a Pandora’s Box booby prize. It would only be fair to unleash something detrimental to Rachel’s game, like they did to Porsche and her alliance.

I can’t recall another Big Brother season, in which CBS manipulated the show, to the extent they have this season. They have found out if they manipulate the show, that higher ratings result.

Six Days Remain Till Finale

Only six days remain till the jury decides which of the remaining two contestants wins the $500,000. If Jordan is evicted tonight, Rachel, Porsche and Adam will battle for the final two spot. Two of them will be in the money this season while the other only takes memories out of the Big Brother house, but no cash.

Jeff and Jordan should be reunited tomorrow at the jury house if she is the one evicted.

We will find out tonight what the HOH endurance contest will be this season. It could be a long night in the endurance contest or it could be over in a hurry like they have recently.

Tune in CBS at 8:00 PM for tonight’s show. President Obama’s speech should not affect the starting time of Big Brother.

 

 

 

 

 

Big Brother 13: Fortune Teller Talks, Leaving House Guests Frazzled

SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT READ THIS ARTICLE IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED SINCE THE SUNDAY NIGHT SHOW OF BIG BROTHER 13.

This post will tell who won the veto on Saturday, what the POV winner decided at the POV ceremony and other developments, which have happened since the show aired on Sunday night.

The post also tells about the eviction which will be filmed on Tuesday for broadcast on the Wednesday night show on CBS.

Sunday’s show left us with Rachel winning the HOH and nominating Kalia and Porsche for eviction. Adam then won the POV on Saturday and elected not to use it during the POV meeting on Monday.

Eviction Will Be Today

The house guests found out yesterday that the eviction will be Tuesday. It will be filmed on Tuesday. The live feeds will likely be cut off at some point today, since CBS doesn’t want the results of the eviction to be known to live feeders, since it would be all over the internet, before the show on Wednesday night. The live feeds should resume after Wednesday’s show.

The fortune-teller at the Big Brother 13 house finally talked last night and gave the house guests some very important information.

Rachel and Jordan presently want Kalia evicted, but that could change before the votes are cast. Personally, I think evicting Porsche would be a better game move, since she may do well in the HOH endurance, with Kalia not likely to do well if it involves any movement. If it is a case of holding on to something, then Kalia could be more of a threat. 

Someone will be leaving the Big Brother house today. We just won’t know who it is till tomorrow night’s show airs on CBS.

Fortune Teller Talks, Gives Predictions For HOH Competition

Fortune teller moved last week and last night Crystal the fortune-teller talked for the first time. She announced that when she laughed, that would be a cue to enter the room.

One of the predictions given by the fortune-teller includes this one about Jeff:

In 2014, Jeff will disappear from society. He will be last seen in the Chicago streets muttering two words, clown shoe

The fortune-teller speaks about 9:30 BBT and tells the house guests the information she is giving will be needed to win HOH. 

Another prediction given last night was this one about Evel Dick:

11:08PM BBT: Fortune Teller: “In 2015 Evel Dick will start a Christmas tradition by bringing gifts to heavily tattooed orphans, changing his name from Evel Dick to old Saint Dick. Leave me now! Leave my parlor room!” 

The house guests became frazzled from trying to remember the different predictions, with some house guests confusing the others with the wrong information being remembered. Adam should do well in this competition, but Jordan said she needed to hear them again, which I doubt will be happening.

            For the complete list of the predictions scroll down to 9:30 PM at this website:

Big Brother 13: Shelly Sent Packing, HOH Winner Revealed…Spoiler Alert

SPOILER ALERT….WINNER OF HOH REVEALED IN THIS ARTICLE, DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT TO WAIT TO SEE THE SHOW ON SUNDAY NIGHT!!!

Last night’s Big Brother 13 show was not nearly as exciting as the double eviction show last week. However, it still had plenty of drama as Shelly tried to engineer a deal to guarantee her safety with Rachel and Jordan. She was even believing that they might actually save her, but when the votes were announced she was sent home by a 2-1 vote. Kalia led to believe that Rachel and Jordan were voting to keep Shelley, voted to evict Adam which should solidify Adam’s allegiance to Racehel and Jordan.

Brendon was shown at the Big Brother jury house, enjoying himself with the house to himself. When Danielle arrived Brendon showed no anger at her for nominating him for eviction twice. Jeff seemed to be mostly concerned that he flipped the clown shoe away during the HOH on the double eviction POV.

When Shelley arrives later this week after appearances on television, the jury house could become heated if she and Jeff lock horns at the jury house.

Rachel seemed to have been helped by the producers again, since she is more athletic, than the remaining house guests. The HOH contest wasn’t even close with Rachel taking an easy win by placing the most donuts on her post.

Total donuts by each house guest placed on their post:

RACHEL 20

JORDAN 15

ADAM 15

KALIA 10

Jordan, Adam and Kalia seemed to be going in slow motion. Can’t help but wondering if all three were throwing the HOH. For Rachel made five more trips to pick up donuts than the others, showing she was by far the best competitor.

Rachel would be smart to target Porsche for conviction next week. By evicting Porsche, she would eliminate the the only house guest who might possibly beat herm in the endurance competition coming up. I look for the last four house guests to be Rachel, Jordan, Kalia and Adam.

Adam should vote the way that Rachel and Jordan want him to. If Kalia and Porsche go on the block, neither will be able to vote, unless one of them wins the POV. If the nominations stand, then it should be a 2-0 vote to send Porsche home, assuming she is nominated for eviction.

However the Pandora box will come into play this week, so that could change everything. It will be interesting to see how a celebrity connects with Pandora’s box. Just hope it isn’t another promo for a CBS television show, like the David Hasselhoff promos for his show. I am sure they will try to tempt Rachel to open the box, but Porsche found out that isn’t the smartest move in the Big Brother game.

Rachel has won three HOH’s and two vetos this season and will be trying for her second consecutive veto tomorrow. The worst case scenario would be for Porsche to win. Rachel and Jordan want all three of them gone eventually so it really doesn’t matter if Adam or Kalia leave first, though they would like Adam to stay one more week. For Rachel and Jordan to go to the final two, they have to evict Porsche before the endurance competition.

Is it just me or does Rachel seem to be less confrontational than she was earlier in the game. I think she was jealous of Cassi and that was only reason Rachel wanted her out of the house.

As much as I like Jordan, she may be one of the worst competitors this season. She always seems to find a way to lose and look bad doing it. Jordan admitted she doesn’t deal with pain well, so that puts even more pressure on Rachel to win the endurance, if she is still in the game after the two evictions next week.

With evictions on Wednesday and Thursday, there will only be three players left by the end of Thursday’s show. It is hard to believe that there are only 12 days left till the finale on September 14.

This post from Wikipedia includes a chart, the house guests would love,  to have to study by for future quizzes. It is a great tool for seeing who controlled the game from week to week.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_13_(U.S.)

 

Big Brother 13: Shelly’s Family Receives Death Threats

Some Big Brother 13 fans take the game more seriously than others. TMZ reports that Shelly Moore’s family has received death threats, since Shelly’s vote to evict Jeff Schroeder on last Thursday’s show, which resulted in Jeff leaving the Big Brother house.

Shelly’s daughter has even been threatened, which is carrying hatred, way too far.  Her boss has been called by these overzealous fans, requesting that Shelly be fired for voting against Jeff.

Big Brother 13 is not true reality and fans should realize this. Reality shows are being manipulated for the highest ratings. 

That is why house guests like Brendon Villegas are allowed back in the house this season and Rachel re-entered the house last season. Rachel coming back into the house last year was a ratings ploy, to get viewers to tune in to see the house guest’s reactions to seeing Rachel walk back in the door. 

Rachel has been one of the most hated house guests ever, by both the house guests and Big Brother fans. She is also is a very pathetic person, who takes the game way too personally. Her highs and lows during the game show she is not able to handle adversity well. When she wins HOH she is ecstatic, but when she is put on the block she has a pity party.

Last night’s show was another example of the Big Brother 13 producers manipulating the show. With Rachel gone, the ratings would have plummeted so they come up with a Pandora twist. The twist was if Porsche, the HOH accepted the $10,000 prize money, the house would receive a consequence.

Porsche may have won $5,000 with the other $5,000 going to Kalia, but may have knocked herself out of a chance to win $50,000 as the second place winner or $500,000 for the first place winner. 

Now she is a target after winning POV and HOH in succession then winning the $5,000. 

Back to Shelly….She has made deals with all the house guests and it finally backfired on her this last week, when Jordan and her got into a verbal confrontation.

However, that doesn’t excuse fans making death threats to her family. It only shows that some fans take this game more personally than they should. She will probably question if she should even went on the show, when she hears about the death threats.

Hopefully, the fans that made the death threats, will be apprehended and spend years not months in jail.

Big Brother 13: Kalia’s HOH Lasts Few Hours: New HOH Revealed in Spoilers Alert

SPOILER ALERT: THERE WERE THREE HOH’S ON BIG BROTHER IN A FEW HOURS TIME LAST NIGHT. KALIA ONLY GOT A BASKET OF FOOD IN THE STORAGE ROOM AND A LETTER FROM HOME, BEFORE A NEW HOH WAS CROWNED LAST NIGHT. JEFF, KALIA AND THE HOUSE GUEST MENTIONED FURTHER DOWN IN THIS ARTICLE ALL WERE HOH’S AT SOME POINT LAST NIGHT.

PLEASE DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHO WON HOH UNTIL THE SHOW IS SHOWN ON CBS ON SUNDAY NIGHT!!!

CBS should have done well in the ratings last night, with the double eviction, a fight between Jeff and Shelly, about 30 minutes before the live show.

Shelly, Danielle and Porsche had taken turns trying to convince Adam to flip the house and vote to keep Danielle. Adam refused to be swayed and voted to evict Danielle. Then Rachel appeared to be flipping according to some Big Brother websites, but she also voted to evict Danielle so she was evicted.

That was the last thing good that happened for Jeff, Jordan, Rachel and Adam. The live HOH came down to Jordan and Kalia and Kalia won a very brief reign as HOH lasting about two hours. She immediately nominated Jeff and Rachel for eviction. The vote was 2-2 so Kalia was forced to break the tie by sending Jeff home after Porsche won the Power of Veto and left the nominations the same.

Porsche Briggs won Power of Veto on live show and then won HOH after the show winning the snake ball game they had been practicing.

Shelly and Jordan were in a huge fight (photos shown below) that resulted in Jordan saying she gave her phone call home to Shelly and then Shelly had lied to her and was not really with Jeff and Jordan. Shelly has made so many deals with so many house guests, that you need a scorecard to keep up with all the deals and lies.

Later on in the evening,  they held the HOH. It was the snake ball game, in which Porsche had done well at while practicing.

Porsche won the HOH for her second straight win, about two hours after winning the POV on the live show.

Jordan and Rachel came back in the house after the HOH, lamenting their lack of success, in the competitions lately.

The numbers are against them as Adam is now best of friends with Porsche, Shelly and Kalia. However, he is delusional if he thinks he will make the final three before any of them.

The only competition that Adam has  won was only because Jeff threw it to him in the corn hole game.

Danielle may be gone, but she couldn’t be any happier than she will be when informed of what went down after she was evicted.

She will be going to the sequester house where Brendon is waiting for the next house guest to arrive. He will be surprised to see Danielle but even more surprised to see Jeff later.

This food basket and a letter in the storage room is all that Kalia has to show for being the HOH last night after Jeff was evicted, then Porsche became the new HOH two hours later.

Jeff was this close to winning the POV last night, not noticing he had flipped yellow shoe into the next bin which would have prevented him from going home, which could have caused Rachel's eviction.

Jordan and Shelly in confrontation after the live show with Rachel trying to restrain Jordan.

Porsche is almost certainly going to nominate Jordan and Rachel for eviction, or she may nominate Rachel and Adam since he refused to keep Danielle. If Jordan and Rachel are on the block, the vote should be 3-0 for eviction of Rachel, since they have lost Adam to the newbies team. Adam didn’t waste any time going from the Jeff/Jordan and Rachel alliance, once he saw they are not a threat in the game, right now at least.

Big Brother fans tire of hearing how important it is,  for one house guest or another to win Power of Veto or HOH. Assuming it will be Rachel going home next week, she has no hope at all, unless she wins the POV, so it is VERY important for her to win.

If she does win Adam probably would be the replacement nominee chosen by Porsche since they have no plans of taking him to the final three.

The last thing the producers want is for Rachel to go home, since that should drain the house of any drama and ratings may plummet the rest of the season. That explains why she was brought back into the house last season. The producers and only the producers were behind that move.

That proves that reality television can be manipulated by the producers. They couldn’t wait to see the reaction of the house guests when Rachel returned to the house last season. The looks on their faces were priceless.

It looks like Jeff, Jordan, Rachel and Brendon will control the votes of the jury. It remains to be seen if they vote for best game play or make it personal and vote against whoever they dislike the most.

Big Brother 13 : Double Live Eviction on Thursday’s Show, Spoilers

Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd pictured holding their checks after Jordan won Big Brother 11. They hope to be holding more checks at the Big Brother 13 finale on September 14 if they are still in the game, but with eight players still in the game and a double eviction on Thursday, anything can happen.

 

 

 

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT READ IF YOU PLAN ON WATCHING THE SHOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WINNER OF POWER OF VETO REVEALED IN THIS ARTICLE!!!

 

 

Jeff has won HOH and nominated Kalia and Porsche for eviction on Friday night. He apparently didn’t want to give Danielle a chance to win the  Power of Veto, so avoided nominating her.

There are eight players remaining in the game now with Jordan, Jeff, Rachel, Shelly and Adam in one alliance and only Danielle, Porsche and Kalia in the other alliance. 

Danielle’s alliance only has one voter, while the stronger alliance has four that will be eligible to vote.  It is almost a foregone conclusion, that the vote on Thursday night will evict Porsche or Kalia. 

However, Jeff added the Power of Veto to his HOH power last Saturday, so he is truly in command of the game. He is considering the option of backdooring of Danielle. If he takes any other option, he could be making a huge mistake, since Kalia and Porsche are not really threats to his game at this point.

Danielle is sensing that she is going to be backdoored, since Jeff has been non-committal about his plans. I look for him to remove Porsche from the block and then substitute Danielle in her place. Now that Danielle knows she may be going on the block, she will badger Jeff, until the last minute to make a deal that will keep her safe.

If he doesn’t put her on the block, he may regret it and it may cost him $500,000. Danielle is one of the best competitors in Big Brother history, so there is no reason to keep her in the game.

With the double eviction being live on Thursday’s show, it is imperative to get Danielle out now, or she may win HOH on Thursday night and put up Jeff and Jordan or Jeff and Rachel. That would leave only three voters for the Jeff, Jordan, Adam, Shelly and Rachel alliance. 

The double eviction will leave little time for politicking and deal making before the second eviction.  Julie Chen will have her hands full on Thursday night, trying to work in an eviction, an HOH, a POV, a power of veto ceremony and another eviction in about 46 minutes of actual viewing time. 

As far as I know, the house guests have no idea, there will be a double eviction this week. One house guest thought it would be the next week.

Those fans who are watching the live feeds, should see plenty of drama today, if Jeff does backdoor Danielle. It might get ugly before this day is over, especially if Rachel becomes involved by gloating over Danielle’s demise if she is put back on the block.

Rachel has had a quiet week so far, but who knows she could be gone on Thursday night, after the second eviction.

Spoiler Alert: Big Brother 13 House in Chaos After Surprise Nominations August 12

Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!!!! 

DO NOT READ THIS ARTICLE UNLESS YOU WANT TO KNOW EARLY WHO WAS NOMINATED YESTERDAY AND ABOUT THE RESULTING CHAOS AFTER THE NOMINATIONS.

 

 

Danielle made two surprise nominations last night throwing the Big Brother 13 house into chaos.

Nobody saw this coming and Danielle has completely changed her gameplay. It was almost a foregone conclusion as to she would nominate for eviction, but now she has thrown the Big Brother 13 house into complete chaos with her surprising nomination selections.

Danielle nominated Shelly and Adam for eviction. Shelly who was playing both sides in the house is the house guest targeted to go home. Only a Veto competition win will save her now.

Apparently Danielle has been offered a Final 3 deal with Rachel and Brendon according to online reports. With those three in an alliance they could run the table the rest of the season in competitions. With Kalia and Porsche also ready to vote the way Danielle and Brenchel want them to, they can count on four votes on eviction night, since Danielle is ineligible to vote. However, there is nothing that indicates that Danielle accepted a deal till the end. She had to make some kind of deal though, for Rachel and/or Brendon to not be on the block this week.

Shelly lost it after the nomination ceremony and was in confrontations with the members of Danielle’s alliance. This article includes a house meeting called by Jordan:

Big Brother 13: HOH Results and Aftermath Spoilers: August 11

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOH RESULTS FROM AUGUST 11 REVEALED!!!

 

If you want to wait till Sunday’s show on CBS to find out who won HOH and the aftermath after the competition, don’t read this article since it reveals the winner of the HOH competition.

 

 

Last night’s Big Brother 13 show ended with Brendon Villegas returning to the Big Brother house after defeating Lavon Exum in a special challenge, which reunited Brendon with his girlfriend Rachel Reilly. This week has showed how fast this game can change. 

This time last week Brendon had been sent home and it appeared that Rachel would go home this week ending the season for the couple. However, a funny thing happened after the nominations as Kalia was convinced by the other alliance to not push for the house guests to vote Rachel out because of the twist this week.  Now instead of Brendon and Rachel being out of the game, they are both back in it.

Brendon, Rachel, Jeff, Jordan and Shelly appear to be with one alliance, which leaves only Danielle, Porsche and Kalia in the other alliance with Adam a wild card. Danielle’s alliance needs Adam to give them more votes since Danielle can’t vote as HOH. The other alliance will lose two voters, who will be put up on the block. It will take three votes next week for a team to control the votes. 

Danielle Donato of Big Brother 13 has won HOH for the second time in three weeks.

Last night after the show ended, Danielle won the HOH competition, giving her second HOH in three weeks. It was the third consecutive HOH won by the Danielle alliance. She knew her back was against the wall with Brendon and Rachel back in the game, however Danielle seems to win when she needs the HOH the worst.

Assuming Brendon and Rachel will be nominated for eviction that leaves Jeff, Jordan and Shelly voting to keep Rachel or Brendon next week, depending on who Danielle is targeting. Either alliance would be smart to offer a deal to Adam to guarantee him safety next week in return for his vote. Adam is in the power position this week, plus Danielle is desperate to get him to vote her way. 

If Danille can persuade Adam to vote her way, the vote would be 3-3 tie with Danielle casting the tie breaking vote. Adam is in a position to bargain for the best deal, because he is the swing vote. If he joins Jeff, Jordan and Shelly in voting together to vote against the targeted house guest to leave, the veterans plus Shelly and Adam would win 4-2, robbing Danielle of a chance to cast a tie-breaking joke. Adam can figure on being hounded all week for his vote.

However, all bets are off if Brendon or Rachel win the Veto competition, but we still don’t know for sure who will be nominated. If that happens, I would expect to see Shelly nominated for the first time this season. Unless Adam adamantly refuses to vote with Danille’s alliance, he should be safe this week and probably next week too if the newbies-Danielle alliance wins HOH again next week.

These are the HOH winners so far: 

1ST WEEK: RACHEL

2ND WEEK: JORDAN

3RD WEEK: RACHEL

4TH WEEK: DANIELLE

5TH WEEK: KALIA

6TH WEEK: DANIELLE

Rachel and Danielle have combined to win four of the six HOH competitions.

Brendon has either won or shared a win with Rachel three times in the Veto competition. Dominic and Jeff have won one Veto each this season. 

Rachel has won HOH twice, shared a Veto win with Brendon, while Danielle has two HOH wins. She needs to win the veto to make sure her nominations stay the same, to prevent the drama of last week from happening again. If not for Jeff winning the veto, Rachel probably would have been  voted out of the house. That would have set up a challenge between Rachel and Brendon, which would probably result in Brendon throwing it to Rachel.

The two keys this week are who wins the veto and how Adam will vote. Adam will have to grab his life vest this week, because his days of floating are over, with his vote being crucial to who advances in the game.

This year has seen some of the worst play in Big Brother history. Two players on the block Keith and Dominic, have thrown veto competitions which could have taken them off the block with a win. The last HOH, Kalia put one of her own alliance, Lawon who volunteered to be evicted, up for eviction, resulting in him going home.

Kalia more or less, wasted her week as HOH. She was so determined to show she was making the decisions and not Danielle, that she went against Danielle’s wishes to try to help Rachel get the votes she needed to stay. Not since Howie Gordon nominated two of his own alliance  in Big Brother 6 for eviction, has an HOH made a worst move than Kalia did this week, effectively flipping the house and preventing the opposing alliance from losing anyone this week and in fact added another in Brendon due to the twist. 

 

 

Big Brother Veto Ceremony Spoilers Aug.8: Will Be Shown on Wednesday’s Show

Do not read unless you want to know before the

 Wednesday night show who won the Veto and the results

of the veto ceremony:

Jeff won the veto ceremony last Saturday and removed himself at the veto ceremony. Lawon was placed on the block in his place. The house guests thought he had volunteered to go on the block.

The most shocking development of all is that Rachel now has the votes to stay and should be safe. So if Brendon were to be brough back by Big Brother 13 fans, we would have both Rachel and Brendon in the house again.

Whoever is brought back will have to battle Lawon to regain entry to the house. So instead of a power player being evicted on Thursday it should be Lawon who is evicted. Kalia will be questioned as to why she would put up one of her own alliance and protect Rachel from the other alliance.

Dogdave.com calls Kalia’s move stunningly stupid. They have several links to more information on today’s events on the left of the page at the many Big Brother sites.

This site tells about some of the reactions of the house guests after Lawon was placed on the block:

Big Brother 13: Spoiler Alert: HOH Endurance Results and Aftermath

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!! DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHO WON THE HOH ENDURANCE CONTEST ON BIG BROTHER 13 LAST NIGHT

It was no surprise that the Big Brother 13 program last night focused on the fight at the house meeting on Wednesday. The meeting exposed Danielle to behind a move to backdoor Jeff. Danielle called Rachel an idiot and Brendon didn’t take kindly to the attack on his fiancée.

Parts of the fight were shown on the live show last night on CBS. That drama made the upcoming HOH endurance competition even more important for Danielle to win. If a veteran won HOH, she would be out of the game next week,so it was imperative that she win the endurance. Something told me she would win since she looked determined to win it. She had lasted about 8 or 9 hours in an endurance competition during Big Brother 8, so knew she was likely to win.

The house guests were on a wall with skis on and holding on to a peg in the wall. The wall began to move to a downward angle, making it more difficult to stay on.

Alex and Lawon fell off in the first 15 minutes.

Brendon fell off 15 minutes later at 7:30.

Jeff was the last man to fall at 7:45 leaving Jordan, Shelley, Kalia, Porsche and Danielle in the competition.

Jordan fell five minutes after Jeff at 7:50

Porsche lasted 20 minutes longer than Jordan falling off at 8:10

Shelley was the last of the house guests linked to the veterans to fall at 8:20 after 80 minutes

Kalia gave it to Danielle at 8:30 with Danielle lasting 90 minutes.

Jeff Wins $10,000

While Jeff was on the wall, he said he was jumping off if Brendon didn’t get the snowball with $10,000. So he jumped off the wall and won the $10,000. Jeff probably didn’t win any points with Brendon and Rachel by taking the money, instead of trying to win HOH, leaving the veterans subject to eviction.

Adam’s snowball was not so good. Now he will have to wear an elf suit. Brendon won a have-not card, which apparently will keep him from being a have-not the next time he is on the losing side of a have-not competition.

Men Lasted Half As Long As Women

The men lasted only 45 minutes, while Danielle stayed on the wall for 90 minutes. It is almost like the veteran men weren’t worried about winning. Shelly lasted 35 minutes longer than the men.

It seems like the endurance competitions don’t last as long as they used to. Kaysar worked out a deal with Jenny in Big Brother 6 during a 13 hour endurance that backfired when Jenny didn’t keep her word.

Nobody Cheered For Danielle and Kalia

Danielle and Kalia were not being cheered on during the endurance competition, which tells me they may be up for eviction the next the time veterans win HOH, since currently Porsche and Shelley are still with the veterans. That leaves Kalia and Danielle in the opposing side and maybe Lawon. Adam and Lawon seem to be floaters, so no telling how they would vote.

The bad thing for the veterans is that two of them won’t be able to vote with the two on the block. Adam and Lawon hold the key to how the next vote goes, depending who they side with.

Danielle Tells Jordan That Jordan and Jeff Are Safe

After the endurance ended Danielle told Jordan in the house, that she was not sending Jeff and Jordan home next week. She had also asked Jeff to keep her safe the following week, in return for her not putting them up for eviction later today.

I am sure a lot of the house guests will be happy if Brendon-Rachel are nominated for eviction. He can’t seem to have a conversation with anyone, without calling that person a liar. He does not have a good social game or he would have not launched into the attack on Kalia, when Kalia was still on their side. His behavior pushed her over to the other side, even if she did vote with the veterans last night.

Rachel and Danielle Apologize To Each Other

Rachel and Danielle had a talk after the endurance competition, with them apologizing to each other. I doubt anything that Brendon and Rachel say or do now will save them from being nominated today.

Rachel and Brendon talk to Porsche, wondering if Danielle would put up with Kalia. That would be a stupid move and doubt Danielle would even consider that, since Kalia seems to be solidly in with Danielle now. Why should she nominate her closest ally in the house, now that Dominic is gone?

Rachel Threatens Danielle

Rachel talks to Danielle and tells her that if she puts up Brendon and Rachel, that she won’t vote for Danielle if she is in the final two. Danielle does not like being threatened, saying she would vote for the better person in final two, not for the one she liked the most.

After the meeting with Danielle, Brendon is furious that Rachel talked to Danielle without him being there. While they are trashing Danielle, Danielle is hearing every word, which probably insured they will be nominated for eviction later today.

Big Brother 13: Rachel HOH For Second Time, Hopefully For Last Time

Rachel had everything rolling her way on last night’s live show of Big Brother 13. Her enemy Cassi was sent home by a 9-0 vote, then she won HOH for the second time. I doubt if there was much excitement, from other house guests, when asked who wanted to see her HOH room?

It is a mystery why she was so anti-Cassi, since Cassi never did anything to warrant such hatred. She even went to Rachel and Brendon separately to find out why they disliked her so much. Rachel came up with her usual snide remarks, then when Cassi talked to Brendon, he turned the whole thing around to make it look like Cassi was lying. Cassi was just being inquisitive and all she got in return was more disgusting behavior from Rachel and Brendon.

Rachel is hated so much by the other house guests that the first time a newbie wins HOH, she will be going out the door the next week. She has alienated every house guest by her behavior, even Brendon is not happy with her behavior. She plays by far, the worst social game ever in Big Brother history.

It is a good thing Rachel and Brendon weren’t married, before the Big Brother 13 season started. Brendon has a full-time job trying to calm Rachel down, when things don’t go her way.

Dominic and Daniele need to be watched, since they may team up with Rachel and Brendon. If that happens I still look for most of the newbies to team up with Jeff and Jordan. Dominic is a smart player. No other newbie is looking like they are doing any game playing. Adam may be a better game player after the partners are broken up.

Rachel is providing all the drama for a second season in a row. CBS was thinking they would at least have drama with Rachel and Evil Dick in the house. When Evil Dick left the house, they left it up to Rachel to turn up the drama. CBS will have to come up with a major twist, once Rachel leaves, because when she walks out the door, the drama should end as soon as the door closes. Let’s hope CBS doesn’t bring her back in the house, if she leaves.

Jeff and Jordan need to keep an eye on Rachel and Brendon. I wouldn’t be surprised if they backdoor them if they get the chance. The worst case scenario for fans who don’t like Rachel, would be for Brendon to win HOH, insuring another week of Rachel in the HOH room as a tenant, since she can’t win two weeks in a row.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Big Brother 13: Veterans Alliance In Danger of Crumbling While Rachel Cries in the Bushes

Rachel Reilly lost it after the veto competition as veteran's alliance is showing signs of crumbling.

Rachel  has to be the worst social game player in Big Brother history as she was so intent on wanting to get rid of Cassi , that she is not even considering that Dominic is the only newbie that is making an effort to win.

Instead she was begging Jordan to nominate Cassi and Shelly, neither of whom is a threat to the veterans. Shelly even voted the way the veterans wanted her to vote last week on eviction night.

Then Dominic won the veto competition and Rachel went ballistic on Jordan because Rachel went on slop for two weeks, so she could continue in the veto competition, but Jordan didn’t because Jeff told her it wasn’t worth it to go on slop.

So Rachel makes a pithy comment about the HOH wasn’t trying to win and Jeff put Rachel in her place when she jumped on Jordan.

Brendon tried to calm down Rachel who went to cry in the bushes after the confrontation with Jeff. Of course the newbies were loving every minute of the meltdown by the veterans.

We should have known Rachel’s ego couldn’t handle losing a competition and now she is wanting to go it alone, which is suicide in the Big Brother game. Instead of being with Jeff, Jordan and Daniele she would be only with Brendon.

You would think that Rachel had learned her lesson from last year, that you keep to yourself what you are thinking about the other house guests.

It is safe to say that the first time a newbie wins HOH, she will be out the door since she will be the target if Brendon and her are put on the block.

Rachel takes the game too personally. She has to change her whole game plan, or she will be the first veteran out of the house. I thought Rachel would at least stay with the veterans till all the couples were broken up, but now she may have ruined any chance that might happen with her behavior after the veto competition.

Unless someone changed sides, it looks like after tonight assuming Cassi goes home that it will be Dominic and Lawon the only newbies still with the newbies, against Kalia, Porsche, Shelley, Adam, Jeff, Jordan, Brendon, Rachel and Danielle with the veterans. Since there will be 10 voting tonight for eviction, the vote should be 8-2. If not, somebody has gone back on their word. Dominic and Lawon probably don’t know of all the deals the newbies have made, so probably will vote for Cassi to stay.

Rachel better hope the veteran’s alliance wins HOH tonight, but then if a newbie in the veterans alliance wins, they might still nominate a veteran couple to make it look like they are not working with the veterans.

 

Big Brother 13: Newbies Don’t Have Clue How to Play This Game

Big Brother 13 rookies not playing the smartest game this season.

It looks like the Big Brother 13 rookies have left their thinking caps at home. It looks like the twist of adding veterans from Big Brother 8, Big Brother 11 and Big Brother 12 was too much of a shock, causing them to lose their senses.

Some of the newbies formed an alliance called The Regulators, which lasted about as long as a box of Twinkies for a family of four.

Evil Dick Exits Game Early

Even though the veterans lost Evil Dick almost immediately after the first show aired, the  veterans took it in stride. That is all except Brendon Villegas, who ranted and raved about how they had lost before they got started. I could understand Brendon being worried since the veterans were now outnumbered 8-5.

Thankfully, Jeff Schroeder calmed Brendon down, giving him a pep talk, in effect telling him all was not lost yet. Next thing you knew the veterans had Kalia Booker, Shelly Moore and Porsche Briggs on their side. It even looked like they had convinced Adam Poch to go to their side, but he voted for Keith to stay, which was opposite of what the veterans wanted.

Keith Throws Veto Competition While On the Block

Keith helped evict himself, thinking he had the numbers on his side and threw the veto competition. Unless my memory fails me, I can’t recall anyone on the block throwing the veto competition, since it is only way someone nominated for eviction can remove themselves from the block.

Porsche was on the block so she couldn’t vote, but Kalia and Shelly switched sides to vote with the veterans to get rid of Keith. The vote to evict was 6-4 so the veterans whittled the advanage of the newbies to 7-5. With another newbie going home this week, the advantage of the newbies will shrink to 6-5.

Newbies Puzzled Over Who Switched Votes

It was funny the way some of the newbies were trying to figure out who voted with the veterans. The ones that switched didn’t give themselves away, so the other newbies still don’t know for a fact who switched their votes.

Jordan Lloyd who won HOH is a lot more into the game than when she was on Big Brother 11 two seasons ago. Now that Adam sees there are some newbies playing for themselves, he is telling the veterans he messed up last time and wants to join with the veterans. His thinking is that he will last longer in the game with the veteran’s protection, until it is time for everyone to fend for themselves.

Newbie Not Likely to Win the $500,000

When the newbies started linking up with the veterans, they made it less likely that a newbie will win the $500,000 in September. If the veterans win HOH next week, it should finish off any chance the newbies will be a force in the game.

The five veterans now apparently have Porsche, Adam, Shelly and Kalia on their side giving them an edge of 9-3 with Dominic Briones possibly coming over to the veteran’s side. That leaves Cassi Colvin and Lawon Exum as the only ones of the newbies still not linked with the veterans.It is hard to believe the newbies have squandered a 8-5 advantage into an apparent 10-2 (if Dominic switches sides) disadvantage assuming the newbies will continue to work with the veterans and vote the way they are told.

The newbies have broken the cardinal rule of sticking together as long as they have the advantage in numbers. Instead they started bailing out the first week and The Regulators are not regulating anything.

Brilliant Game Play By Veterans

Only problem for veterans is that they have promised too many people they will be safe. That means they may be voting off some newbies who were told they were safe. The play by the veterans has been brilliant overall though.

However, Rachel has to watch what she says and not make the game personal. She is the kind that will vote someone out if she doesn’t like them rather than vote out someone, that is more of a threat. Brendon will have to keep an eye on Rachel 24/7 or she could cause some of the newbies to join forces with each other. She doesn’t need to repeat her “Hang on to your life vests floaters” again this season.

Unless the newbies regroup as an alliance between now and next Thursday, the veterans have everything going their way. The Dominick-Danielle friendship has to be watched by the veterans as these two could throw a wrench in the plans of the veterans, but then there are only two of them and they won’t have much power this early in the game. However, if Dominick wins HOH this Thursday, we could see one of the veterans going home the following week. Still not sure, if he would be so in with the veterans to nominate a newbie couple for eviction.

Big Brother 13: Keith Evicted, Jordan Wins HOH

Jordan Lloyd is the new HOH after Keith Henderson was the first house guest to be evicted during the Big Brother 13 season.

Keith Henderson may have made one of the biggest blunders in Big Brother history by throwing the Veto competition while he was on the block. His partner Porsche Briggs also threw the competition, almost certainly making it the first time both members up for conviction threw a competition, that if they had won would have extended their stay on the show. Julie Chen called out Keith on why he would try to throw the competition and he replied that he thought he had the votes. He should have known that you never assume anything on Big Brother.

 

Surprisingly two of the rookie players voted to evict Keith, even though he was a newbie. Kalia Booker and Shelly Moore were the two that voted to evict Keith.

 

 

Two Rookies Flipped Votes

 

The veteran players had to be ecstatic to know that two of the rookies voted against their own player. The rookies now hold a 7-5 edge in the competition, but will have two of their players on the block, meaning only five of them will be able to vote. Only four veterans can vote, with Jordan not being allowed to vote as HOH.

 

After next week’s eviction the rookies will only have a 6-5 edge. The loss of Evil Dick Donato really hurt the veterans. If he had stayed both the rookies and veterans would have six players remaining in the game after next week’s eviction.

 

Julie Chen surprised Daniele Donato by asking why she didn’t say “I love you” to her dad when she had the chance. However, while  voting in the diary room Daniele said she did love her father, but she probably wouldn’t have said it,  if not for Julie bringing up the subject.

 

 

Brendon Tells Rachel to Tone Down Behavior

 

Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly battled again last night after Rachel told Cassi Colvin that she liked Porsche. Brendon told Rachel she is making them a target by her behavior. Rachel seems to have a penchant for stirring up trouble, instead of concentrating on game play. Brendon will have his hands full, trying to rein in Rachel’s aggressive behavior, or she may be the first veteran player to be evicted.

 

Jordan more than likely will put up Dominic Briones and Adam Poch for nomination. Both of them may be told by the veterans that they will be safe, then one or the other will be evicted, depending on the outcome of the Veto competition. Latest plans by the veterans if Dominic and Adam win the Veto competition is to put up Shelly and Cassi in their place.

 

However, with Big Brother things can change in a hurry and the next eviction is six days away. The rookies know that two of their own voted to keep Porsche instead of Keith and have been trying to figure out who those voters were.

 

Cassi and Dominic think they have figured out that Kalia and Adam were the ones that flipped their votes. Cassi would be shocked if she knew her partner Shelly was one of the two that flipped their votes.

 

 

Loss of Evil Dick Could Affect CBS Ratings

 

Big Brother 13 may see a ratings dip with the departure of Evil Dick Donato. Rachel is now the only real villain this season, so far at least. If she goes home early in the season, the show will be left with a house full of people who get along well. That scenario is the worst nightmare for CBS. Adam seems to be the only loose cannon on the rookies side, but may not last long in this season.

 

Jeff and Jordan should draw a lot of fans as long as they remain in the game, but the rookies so far, have no villain to speak of. Instead the rookies are positioning themselves to be able to join forces with the veterans or remain with the rookies. The rookies alliance crumbled last night with the two flipped votes.

 

The game could turn into a rout for the veterans, which would not help ratings in the least. Drama is what attracts viewers and there could be very little drama if Rachel, Jeff and Jordan were to leave early in the game.

 

Jeff More Involved in Gameplay This Season

 

Jeff Schroeder is more involved in the game than he was in Big Brother 11, when he and Jordan were almost like bystanders, for a good part of that season. Jordan is a lot smarter than she is putting on and like Jeff has learned from being on Big Brother 11.

 

It  impressed me when Brendon almost lost it and wanted to hit someone when Evil Dick left the show, then Jeff showing himself to be the veteran he is said to not give up hope and to keep winning HOH week after week. The flipping of two votes and Jordan winning the HOH, should tell Brendon that the veterans are in this to win it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Big Brother 13: Rookies Vs. Veterans Brings New Dynamic to Big Brother House

Big Brother 13 producers have brought a whole new dynamic to the show, pitting eight rookies against six grizzled veterans of the CBS reality show.

However the veterans lost one of their best competitors in “Evil Dick” Donato almost immediately after the game started. Neither Evil Dick or CBS has revealed what the reason was for him to leave, other than that it was a personal matter.

With the veterans at a 8-5 disadvantage after the loss of Evil Dick, they will have to play the game even harder to whittle down the edge by the rookies.

The veterans are trying to lure some of the rookies to their side, but it is too soon to tell if any of the rookies will actually switch sides. After tonight’s eviction vote, it may be clearer if any of the rookies actually switched sides, or they just told the veterans what they wanted to hear.

One thing for sure after tonight’s vote, is that the rookies will have a 7-5 advantage. If Evil Dick had stayed, the rookies would only have a 7-6 edge after tonight’s eviction. It is imperative that the veterans win tonight’s HOH competition, or they could be at a 7-4 disadvantage after next week’s eviction.

There should be 10 voters tonight with six rookies and four veterans casting votes. That explains  why the veterans are intent on converting some of the rookies to their side. If the veterans lose HOH tonight that means 9 voters will vote next week with only three votes for the veterans and six votes for the rookies, unless some rookies come over to the veteran’s side.

It is almost a foregone conclusion that no veterans will be going to the rookie’s side, so it is a matter of  the veterans talking the rookies into joining with the veterans.

It made no sense to me why Keith Henderson and Porsche Briggs would throw the veto competition, knowing they were both up for eviction. If either had won, they would have saved themselves from being evicted. I just don’t understand why they thought throwing the competition would be to their advantage.

Big Brother 13 Starts Season Tonight

Big Brother 13 returns tonight, after what was a fairly boring Big Brother 12 season. The cast for Big Brother 12 got along well for the most part, which was a nightmare for the producers. When the drama queen of  Big Brother 12 Rachel Reilly was voted off the show, the producers brought her back into the house to stir up the house and it worked.

 This year’s show will be different in that only eight of the house guests have been identified prior to the airing of the first show. There are reports that some house guests from the past will be returning to fill out the cast, which should cause tonight’s show to be one of the highest rated shows ever.

Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd the winner of Big Brother 11 have been rumored to be returning for this season. However we won’t know for sure until tonight’s show, when the other house guests should be revealed.

TV Guide has an excellent preview of the show and profiles of the house guests and includes photos of each houseguest. Those from Louisiana will be interested to know that Shelly Moore, 41 who lives in Prairieville, Louisiana will be one of the new eight house guests.

http://www.tvguide.com/News/Meet-Big-Brother-Houseguests-1034971.aspx

Not much else to say, except we will be waiting to see who the returning house guests are.
