Jeff’s HOH win in Big Brother 13 Episode 20 led to the nomination of Porsche and Kalia.

Invisible Porsche thinks she’s the bigger threat. Slightly less invisible Kalia thinks she’s the bigger threat. Memo to both of you: you both suck.

Jeff and Adam discuss how people who do nothing (like Adam) aren’t going to get to the end by continuing to do that. If you don’t want to win competitions, I have no problem with that, as long as you can at least strategize or make a good faith effort even if you’re a trainwreck (like Daniele)

Daniele’s growing hatred for Rachel is hilarious. Rachel doesn’t have to even try to get Daniele to throw a fit any more.

Jeff, Kalia, and Porsche are joined in the veto competition by veto ticket holder Daniele, plus Jordan, Adam, and Shelly (Kalia’s choice). Daniele’s happy Rachel is sitting out. Jeff is not happy his useless ally Shelly is playing.

Jordan and Jeff sit in the HOH room watching the TV monitor. On it are Daniele and her shadow Porsche. Now would be a good time to start mocking people, followed by confusion over how to pronounce the word mischievous (you’re both right).

Zingbot 3000 is back. Jeff is told to take his facial hair back to the decade it came from. Porsche is told she should be named after a car with a roomier trunk. Rachel is told about how all she ever says is the f word, fiance. Daniele is asked whether she owns a car or if she just rides her daddy’s coattails. Let’s be fair. Her dad sucked worse than she does. Adam is called Uncle Fester, Shelly a dude, and Kalia an expert sleeper. Jordan’s told Jeff hasn’t proposed yet because she’s terrible at answering questions, a statement that confuses her.

There’s actually a point to all of this. The veto competition is to build the Zingbot a bride. Jeff is pretty sure Kalia and Porsche are taking a nap. They are. Meanwhile, Shelly and Adam don’t want to win this, not that they could anyway. Jordan realizes she’s terrible at puzzles, so she zings herself. Jeff really has no competition here and wins the power of veto.

Shelly still hasn’t learned her lesson, even if her 8 year old daughter has. She wants Kalia to know she’s still on her side.

Porsche tries to talk strategy with Jeff. Eventually, he decides on a deal of a week of safety, which she accepts.

Kalia says she doesn’t want to leave before somebody who has done nothing. Jeff says that this week will result in them being even.

Daniele wants Porsche gone and a final four or final three deal. After she destroyed her game early on, her fallback plan, an alliance with Kalia, depends on something new.

At the veto ceremony, Jeff decides to remove Porsche from the block. In her place goes Daniele.

Daniele promises revenge on Jeff. Her and what army? Remember last week when you said Jeff wasn’t your target and needs to get over himself? It’s a little late to be making him one now.

Meanwhile, Kalia realizes that her odds just improved, even if she’s left with nobody.

After Brendon was evicted (again) in Big Brother 13 Episode 19, we left off at the start of an endurance HOH competition.

Daniele’s hopes rest in the victory of Kalia or Porsche. Seeing as it’s not a multiple guess competition, I think we can count out Kalia. Porsche, who hasn’t done anything all year, is looking strong, though.

Jeff realizes he’s probably the biggest target now that Brendon is gone.

After the bubbles have been coming down for a while, the rain starts. It’s just getting more and more slippery. To top it off, the suds are getting in their eyes. This certainly adds an element of challenge to the challenge, but it does seem kind of silly.

They’re about half way done in 45 minutes. Jeff’s in the lead with Porsche and Rachel behind him. As it gets closer to the end, it’s pretty clear who’s going to win. Jeff has a nice rhythm down and is increasing his lead. Realizing she’s going to lose, Rachel decides to start cheering him on. After an hour and a half, Jeff wins HOH by a large margin.

Shelly hasn’t learned her lesson from getting busted trying to make a final three deal with Rachel and Brendon. And by the way, could somebody please show her the video of that conversation so she stops whining about it and making a bigger fool out of herself? She wants Rachel gone, and she lets the other side of the house know it, telling them Jeff and Jordan are dragging an idiot along with them (an idiot other than Shelly I guess).

Not content with talking behind her back, Shelly confronts Rachel. She’s not happy that Rachel is “making eyes” at her. Huh? Jeff’s happy to see that Rachel bites her tongue and just lets Shelly ramble.

The have nots get hard boiled eggs and jalapenos. The jalapenos are stupid because there’s only so many of those you can eat (for some people, that number would be 0), but the eggs are not bad. Jeff must select three people to be have nots. Porsche and Daniele have not been have nots, so they are selected, and their best friend Kalia may join them.

Kalia asks Rachel to speak to Jeff alone. Her only angle is to target Rachel. He already warned her 2 weeks ago she’s the target, so she should expect repercussions.

Daniele assumes her alliance will be nominated. She’s okay with that.

Porsche approaches Jeff and offers to keep him safe if he keeps her safe. This is the first time she has talked game with him. It’s day 49.

Nominations
Rachel is safe.
Shelly is safe.
Adam is safe.
Jordan is safe.
Daniele is safe.

Porsche and Kalia have been nominated for eviction. He assumes their first action after being nominated will be to go take a nap.

Adam won veto and removed himself from the block in Big Brother 13 Episode 18, leading to Brendon’s nomination for eviction against the increasingly angry Shelly.

Daniele talks about how Kalia’s HOH, which she largely ran, was a complete disaster. So it’s up to her to clean up the mess. Talk about the blonde leading the blind.

With 6 people voting tonight, Brendon needs 4 votes to stay. That would mean Rachel, Jeff, Jordan, and Adam or Porsche.

Brendon’s pitch to Adam is that Daniele’s targeting guys. She’s mostly just targeting Brendon.

Rachel approaches Porsche to tell her they’re on their side, and Shelly’s going to nominate Porsche. This seems like a lost cause.

Jeff and Jordan must now decide which alliance member they keep, neither of which can be trusted. They try to convince Shelly to stop pouting because they need Rachel for the numbers.

Daniele wants to make a deal with Jeff and Jordan. It’s a little late for that.

Jordan warns Brendon and Rachel that they won’t be stupid and vote against the house, so they’re going to have to line up a majority. And by the way, if you really want to secure votes, be less aggressive toward members of your own alliance.

Shelly’s 8 year old daughter wants her to stop lying and just pick a side. Perhaps they should put her in the house instead.

Daniele tells us she’s a very logical player. Oh. Is that new? Did I miss it?

In his pre-voting speech, Brendon says that he’s going to vote for the strongest competitor, rather than somebody who just rides coattails to the end. I take it he was unable to get the votes. Good luck to Adam if he hopes to not be nominated again.

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

By a vote of 5-1, Brendon has been evicted from the Big Brother house and is the first member of the jury.

This week’s HOH competition is to fill a bowl and retrieve a ball from it when the soap rises to a high enough level, slipping their way across the course as they go. With soap and bubbles everywhere, this will only get more difficult. Porsche and Jeff seem to be doing well so far, but this could last for hours.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Big Brother 13 Episode 20, which airs Sunday at 8/7c on CBS.

Following Daniele’s HOH win in Big Brother 13 Episode 17, she decided to nominate Adam and Shelly for eviction.

Shelly’s mostly just angry with Rachel’s lies (that Shelly made up in her head). I’m growing tired of Shelly’s whining. If you can’t handle being a floater… stop floating.

Daniele tells Shelly and Adam that her real target is Brendon. So why did you not nominate him? Her response to that question is that she doesn’t want Adam or Shelly to go home, but she doesn’t care if they do. Still sounds stupid.

In addition to slop, the have nots will have a selection of either beets and bologna, dates and durian, or hard boiled eggs and jalapenos.

Daniele, Adam, and Shelly are joined in the veto competition by Jordan, Kalia, and Jeff. Jordan thinks Jeff looks like he’s in a boy band, which is great because he loves boy bands, but don’t show that on TV because he’ll get mad. The competition is Cornhole, a beanbag tossing game. Each eliminated player will get a prize, up to a power of veto.

Jeff scores a 5, Adam scores 13, Jordan scores 7, Shelly does not score anything (the highest score), Kalia scores 11, and Daniele gets the hole in 1 on the first round. Shelly is out, and she chooses the veto prize. Adam scores 9, Jordan scores 13, Kalia scores 9, Daniele gets another 1, and Jeff scores 9, eliminating Jordan. Jordan’s prize is 24 hours of solitary confinement plus a phone call from home, which she says she’ll take, but she opts instead to give it to Shelly. Locked up for a day for an awkward 5 minute phone call? Kalia scores 7, Daniele scores 1 again, Jeff gets 3, and Adam scores 1, eliminating Kalia. She takes the Caribbean vacation. Jeff’s not sure who Daniele’s target is because it’s not like you can tell that/whether it’s not Adam and Shelly, but after they talk, both of them decide they are safe to throw the competition, or so Daniele tells us when she misses her intended target by half an inch. Daniele scores 14, Jeff scores 3, and Adam scores 1, eliminating Daniele. Her prize is a veto ticket, which guarantees she will compete in next week’s veto competition. She informs Kalia that she just decided Brendon must go. Wait, I thought that was part of her brilliant plan all along? Jeff scores 8 with a convincingly bad throw, and Adam narrowly wins the game with a 7. Jeff gets $5,000. Adam takes the veto, meaning that Jordan gets stuck with the humilitard for a week.

Jordan looks cute in her unitard and pigtails. Thanks for not making Adam wear that.

Jeff would rather get rid of Rachel and not Brendon, but he pretends that the plan to backdoor Brendon is a good one because it’s better than him being nominated.

Brendon and Rachel ask Daniele to keep their deal intact and go after Jeff or Jordan instead. The problem is that everybody already wants to get rid of her, although they’ll still want to get rid of her regardless, but perhaps she’s got a better chance of using Kalia as a shield if she doesn’t anger Jeff. Rachel tells us they’re with Jeff and Jordan. Brendon tells us they’re with Daniele. Well, that clears it up.

At the veto ceremony, Adam vetos his own nomination. Daniele nominates Brendon in his place.
