After the unanimously voted for Lawon to stay over Rachel (really?) in Big Brother 13 Episode 16, America voted for Brendon to return to the house (really? again).
Kalia and Daniele have a duh moment. They should have evicted Rachel so at least they got rid of one of them. Everybody else is happy, aside from Porsche… I don’t know if she’s happy or not because she’s invisible. They’re angry that the last couple weeks have been for nothing. I thought that was the whole point was to just waste last week due to fear of the twist.
Shelly, who believes she’s playing both sides of the house very well, told Jordan that she wants to go to the final three with her and Jeff. Rachel was right there listening to the whole conversation, with Shelly under the impression she was asleep. Dumb move.
The HOH competition is about as dumb luck as any. There are items representing each of their states. Each item is displayed both as a small amount with a number and a big amount of hundreds that they must guess. With 670 necklaces on the tree, Rachel is eliminated with her guess of 1500, as Daniele and her guess of 1234 narrowly escape elimination. Jordan’s guess of 1450 pepperonis on the pizzas is almost double the actual amount of 751. Porsche’s disappointed that her state of Florida is represented by olives rather than something like alligators. Brendon’s guess of 319 once again extends Daniele a lifeline with her guess of 341, both more than 1000 below the actual amount of 1358. The next round is a lot closer, but Jeff is furthest away from the 369 cards with his guess of 523. Shelly’s guess of 120 baseballs is less than half the total amount of 242, and she is out. With the lowest guess of 111, Adam is out on the object containing 224 rivets. We all know what’s going to happen here, right? The words scripted for television come to mind. Needless to say, Daniele wins HOH.
Daniele’s plan is to make the whole house panic. This is why you’re public enemy number 1. Nobody likes you, and you’re not giving them any reason to do so.
Adam offers Daniele one week of safety, but she knows he’s a floater anyway. Speaking of floaters, Shelly walks in next, quickly realizing that she’s not in good with Daniele and Kalia. Shelly asks for Kalia to leave, and the resulting look on Kalia’s face is priceless. Might want to work on your poker face in this house. Afterward, Kalia goes downstairs where she and Porsche talk behind Shelly’s back, except she hears everything they say and lets them know. In the resulting argument, it comes out that Shelly made a deal with Brendon and Rachel, a deal she conveniently forgets and adamantly denies.
Rachel and Brendon call a truce with Daniele. Oh, this again. They make a good argument, though. Once one of them is out of the house, the target on others just gets bigger. Granted, it would take an idiot to think they actually trust her.
As nominations approach, Shelly’s angry with Rachel. You got caught trying to play both sides. So goes the life of a floater. No need to blame someone else.
