Porsche voted to evict Jordan in Big Brother 13 Episode 28, bringing us down to a final three of Rachel, Adam, and Porsche. Tonight one of them will be crowned the Big Brother 13 winner. If it’s not Rachel, well, let’s not dwell on the alternative.

We start off with the first part of the HOH competition. Part 1 is endurance. Obviously Rachel’s going to win this like she won the other two endurance competitions. Adam drops after 28 minutes. Porsche drops at 46 minutes, and Rachel wins part 1 to move on to the final of 3 parts of this HOH competition.

Part 2 is to grab faces from the bottom of a tank and push them thruogh a maze to get them in the correct order of HOH wins. As Big Brother competitions go, this is a decent one, albeit pretty much entirely dependent on the ability to hold their breath under water. Adam finds an additional hindrance in the water. He can’t see with the goggles, so he tosses them, but he can’t see even worse without them, leading to him having to hop out of the tank and find them. Adam’s time is 6:03. Porsche beats him with a time of 3:50.

Rachel and Porsche have a final two deal. Both feel pretty comfortable this secures their position in the final two, but Adam doesn’t think that it would be smart to not take him.

Jordan thinks Rachel should win. Daniele calls her the biggest floater in the house. Huh? I guess she’s got to make up some lame reason for voting for Porsche. Kalia believes Rachel had the hardest road to the end and deserves to be there. Shelly’s still whining about that “lie” Rachel told about her making a final three deal. Can someone just show her the tapes already?

Jeff’s talked to Porsche about 8 minutes this summer. He didn’t even know she was in the house until day 52. I didn’t either. Kalia acknowledges that Porsche didn’t do anything except win a couple competitions.

Adam’s loyalty may buy him a couple of votes, but he didn’t do much either. However, at least he wasn’t invisible for a month or two. I didn’t even know Porsche was in the house most weeks until Julie asked her for her vote.

And for anybody who forgot it, Porsche and new jury member Kalia just followed Daniele around. That statement leads to an argument.

The final part of the HOH competition is the standard jury Q&A with two multiple guess options.

Brendon said the moment he is afraid to have his friends and family see is the moment he was evicted the second time. Both are wrong.

Daniele said the most shocking moment in the house was when she found out her dad would not be returning to the game. Rachel is correct.

Shelly said the fatal error she made in the house was voting to evict Jeff one week too soon. Both are wrong.

Jeff said the best thing about being in the house was getting to spend the summer with Jordan. Both are wrong.

Kalia said the biggest lie told in the house this season was anything that came out of Shelly’s mouth. Rachel is correct and wins the final HOH with 2 points.

Rachel has much better odds going up against Adam. His only support in that jury house is from people who support her more, while Porsche’s friends are going to vote for her no matter what. However, she opts to keep her word to Porsche and takes her to the final two. I don’t think it matters, though. She probably just sent her fourth vote to the jury.

The jury asks questions, and they stick Brendon with a jab at Rachel. She did a lot of hurtful things. Why should she be rewarded? She apologizes, but that doesn’t have anything to do with how she played the game.

Besides wearing a bikini and cooking, what else did Porsche do? She blames the golden key for the lack of effort.

What did Rachel do aside from winning competitions? She had one of the biggest targets on her back, but she survived anyway with a social game that was surprisingly functional.

When did Porsche start playing the game? Week 1. Really?

Evel Dick thinks the veteran alliance should have been the best alliance ever. His daughter disagrees. At least it was better than the Regulators, of which only the model is allowed to speak tonight. He declines to call her strategy stupid, but he calls it typical of playing too hard, too fast.

Jeff has patched things up with Shelly, but Daniele is not on his Christmas card list.

Votes
Brendon: Rachel
Daniele: Porsche
Jeff: Rachel
Shelly: Rachel
Kalia: Porsche
Jordan: Rachel
Adam: Porsche

By a vote of 4-3, Rachel Reilly is the Big Brother season 13 winner. Lucky for Rachel that Shelly voted based on gameplay because Adam threw her a curve ball. Far from the outcome I expected or wanted on day 1, but Rachel’s a deserving winner.

Jeff wins America’s favorite player and $25,000.

Following its highest rated season among adults 18-49 since 2004, Big Brother has been renewed for season 14. For those of you doing the math, 2004 was Big Brother 5, the season before one of the worst seasons ever. Yeah, yeah, I know everybody loved Howie and Janelle for some reason I still do not understand, but that didn’t make them any better than the Friendship.

After Kalia’s elimination in Big Brother 13 Episode 27, Adam secured himself a spot in the final three by winning HOH.

I thought Jordan’s vote was planned by Rachel so that Rachel could personally vote out Kalia, but the reality is that Jordan didn’t want that jury member’s blood on her hands.

Jordan’s worried that Adam’s plan is to ditch them and take Porsche with him to the end. Not a bad plan, but ick. Can the jury just vote present in that scenario?

Nominations
Rachel is safe.

Jordan and Porsche have been nominated for eviction. Adam says that, if you want to be in the final three, you have to earn it. Apparently, he believes he has earned it. He is alone here.

It’s time for the final veto competition, which is the real power of this week because the winner is safe and will decide who gets evicted. Each jukebox has 20 clues, and they have 10 pairs of names that must match those clues correctly. They have to think about what happened throughout the season, with questions about things like the fourth HOH alongside completely pointless things like who hosted the fourth veto competition. Porsche is the first to buzz in, but she has 1 wrong. Her second attempt is correct, and Porsche wins the power of veto.

That gives Porsche the lone vote to evict, and she can choose from either Rachel or Jordan, the two biggest threats in the house.

Porsche thinks that her chances of winning are better against Jordan because she already won two years ago, a path she’s headed down again this year, as people have been silly enough to ignore that she could potentially win it all again. I’m not sure how being a previous winner is a disqualification to doing that. She also thinks that, if Rachel wins this final HOH competition, which she’d no doubt be in the running for since it starts off as an endurance competition, she’ll take her to the final two.

At the final veto ceremony, Porsche pulls herself off the block, and Rachel goes up in her place. Jordan says she knows she’s going home, as she barely even knows Porsche. This concludes with Porsche’s vote to evict Jordan. Now I’m left with no choice but to root for Rachel. Weird how this season has turned out.

The final HOH competition will be split into three parts. We start off with the Big Brother mixer. They’ll have to stand on a giant mixer as long as they can. I assume they’re going to be dipped in the goop sooner rather than later.

Rachel won HOH in Big Brother 13 Episode 26 and proceeded to nominate Porsche and Kalia.

Porsche and Kalia have just one hope. If Adam wins the veto, Jordan gets nominated, and they would have the votes to get rid of her. Not a bad idea.

Otev the shark wants some pies, which are named after houseguests. Jordan stumbles her way to elimination in the first round. Rachel is the next one out. Kalia’s the third one down. Porsche incorrectly identifies Keith as this summer’s biggest loser, forgetting that Shelly is the one who lost all 17 competitions. In doing so, she gives Adam the opportunity to get back first with the correct answer and win the power of veto.

Shelly heads to the jury house unable to realize where she went wrong, and an argument with Jeff ensues. She talks about how she wanted to switch back to Rachel and Jordan and her word to stick with them would be good, so she doesn’t know why they didn’t pick her. Really?

Kalia makes Adam an offer to not nominate him next week. As if it matters. The veto winner decides who goes home in the final four, not the HOH, unless the HOH happens to win both. Odds of Kalia winning both? I’m gonna go with less than 0. She does have a valid argument, though. Adam needs to make a big move if he wants any hope, but ultimately it’s too late anyway.

At the veto ceremony, Adam opts to not use the power of veto.

Votes
Jordan: Porsche
Adam: Kalia

With a tie vote, Rachel gets to cast the deciding vote, no doubt exactly as she wanted. Rachel votes to evict Kalia. Kalia talks about how her goal was to beat the vets. Like her best friend due to lack of other options Daniele?

The fortune teller finally speaks, keeping them up all night. Of course, the HOH competition is based on this. Everybody gets the first question right, one which shows up what to expect from this competition: it’s only false due to a couple of mixed around words and the word clown shoe being singular. Adam and Porsche get the second question right. Adam and Jordan score a point on the next question. Adam and Jordan score again on the fourth question. And again. Everybody gets the next question right. Adam is the new HOH.
