Desperate to get out of the house, Brendon’s veto win in Big Brother 13 Episode 12 led him not to saving himself but rather to saving Rachel. Tonight either he or Jordan will be sent home.
Daniele feels people aren’t threatened by Jordan, the only winner in the house, who’s a far better player than Brendon (or Daniele’s dad for that matter). She needs Jordan in this house because otherwise she’s in trouble. As if she’s not in trouble either way after throwing away her game.
Brendon and Rachel assume that Kalia and Lawon are lost causes, which will leave the power in the hands of the other three newbies. Rachel hopes she can at least count on her closest friend in the house, Porsche, assuming she’s able to take Rachel’s tantrums and self pity.
Julie points out that the only other person ever to use the veto on someone else rather than themselves when they were on the block were Dick and Daniele, who both saved each other during their season. It’s a mark of extremely poor gameplay, although in Daniele’s case it was merely for show since it granted her father the only vote.
ED returns to the show, still deluded into thinking he and his daughter played a great game (in spite of having full knowledge now about Eric and America’s Choice), but his main purpose for being on the show tonight is to talk about how much Daniele sucks at this game.
Votes
Jeff: Brendon
Rachel: Jordan
Kalia: Brendon
Adam: Brendon
Porsche: Jordan
Lawon: Brendon
Shelly: Brendon
By a vote of 5-2, Brendon has been voted out of the Big Brother house. Kalia and Daniele use their goodbye messages to be bitches, always a stupid idea.
It’s time to shake things up. I hate hearing phrases like that from Julie. Keith, Cassi, Dominic, and Brendon will be given the opportunity to return to the game. This is why you play nice in your goodbye messages. You never know when somebody will come back and/or how it will impact their jury vote.
Here’s the bad news. America will be able to vote between the four people who have been evicted to choose who they want to return to the house. If Big Brother were intended to be a popularity contest, the format would not have been changed in season 2.
The HOH competition has three choices for answers: Keith, Cassi, or Dominic.
During an eviction ceremony, who referred to the other houseguests as…
Kalia guesses Dominic and strangely enough is correct. Jordan is eliminated.
Rachel and Lawon are chosen to compete next by Kalia.
Who did not play in the march of the ants competition?
Rachel correctly answers Keith, and Lawon is out.
Kalia and Adam go next.
Who was nominated for eviction twice?
Kalia answers Dominic.
Rachel and Porsche are next.
Who putted their ball into…
Rachel guesses Dominic incorrectly rather than Cassi, and she’s warned by Julie not to swear on live TV (with a 7 second delay).
Jeff and Shelly are next.
During an eviction ceremony, who said “There are some friendships I’ll carry outside of…”
Shelly correctly answers Cassi.
As the only others who remains, Kalia and Porsche square off.
Who was the third houseguest to fall off a banana? Kalia correctly answers Keith.
The final competition is between Kalia and Shelly. I doubt Shelly even wants this.
Who spelled the word standings?
Kalia answers Dominic, and she is the new HOH.
Oh joy. Another week of Kalia and Daniele.
Julie leaves us with information that two evicted houseguests will battle live to get back into the game. (Yeah, I was listening to her for once.) So is that next week’s evictee and America’s choice, or is it the top two vote getters?
