Following Rachel’s HOH win, she nominated Adam & Dominic for eviction (after much whining) in Big Brother 13 Episode 8. Apparently only a good idea when it’s her idea.

Adam and Dominic are both under the impression they already made deals with Rachel. Apparently, those deals are not valid because now she goes up to them again (both at the same time) looking to make a deal.

Daniele hopes to get rid of Jeff or Jordan. After all, it’s not the dumbest game move.

Brendon and Rachel continue to whine about not being able to see David Hasselhoff on the TV.

Daniele’s increasingly close relationship with Adam is not lost anybody, not Adam or Jeff or Brendon and Rachel.

Rachel, Brendon, Adam, and Dominic are joined by Jeff and Jordan in the veto competion. They walk outside to see a hairy legged lady in a tub. They have 10 minutes to gather hairs, each of which contain a letter, which they will use to spell a word, such as technotronics. Dominic made a deal to throw the competition, so his plan is to merely look legit. Jordan spelled little, 6 letters. Dominic spelled standings, a 9 letter word that’s actually pretty good. A little too good if the goal was to throw it. Rachel spelled moisturizing… incorrectly. Adam spelled fractions, a 9 letter word giving him the lead since he finished before Dominic. Jeff spelled expresses, also a 9 letter word, giving him the lead. Brendon spelled understanding, a 13 letter word that gives him the power of veto.

America’s vote is to give the have nots black licorice and blue cheese, parsnips and prunes, or seaweed and sardines.

Dominic tells Shelly that he wants to break up Jeff and Jordan. She ain’t happy with that plan. Seems Dominic doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut. Eventually this deal making with the whole house is going to bite him, and that point is now. After Jordan is told of this, she goes upstairs to talk to Brendon and Rachel, spilling the beans about Daniele’s not so secret alliance with Dominic, as well as their plans to target the couples. This just helps to strengthen the couples, though that won’t last.

At the veto ceremony, Brendon opts to not use the power of veto. Daniele’s mad she didn’t get her way after her aggressive efforts to save her buddy fell on deaf ears.

Following Cassi’s eviction in Big Brother 13 Episode 7, Rachel won HOH again. Oh boy. How exciting.

The Regulators alliance has been decimated from 4 to 2 in a couple weeks, not exactly surprising, particularly considering the lack of effort they have put forth.

Brendon says that Rachel is the brains behind the operation. Apparently, her winning the multiple guess HOH competition is proof of that.

Rachel now has three choices for nomination: Adam & Dominic, Lawon & Kalia, or Jeff & Jordan. Brendon says he almost feels like they have to put up Adam & Dominic. Wait a minute. Last week, Jordan did exactly that. Rachel called it a stupid move, so stupid in fact that she was willing to throw away her alliance over it.

Who wants to see Rachel’s HOH room? Well, there’s Brendon.

Adam tries to reinstate the deal with them that he rejected before. Lawon tries to make a deal as well, I think, but Rachel doesn’t understand what point he’s trying to make, if any.

It’s time for a luxury competition. So basically they plan to promote some CBS show or movie. The actual good news for the contestants is that there are no have nots this week. Some guy walks out who nobody recognizes: David Hasselhoff. He’s there to promote the new show Same Name, which premieres next. The challenge is to figure out the correct celebrity name. Based on the first clue of some bars of soap and binoculars, Jordan guesses Baywatch, which leads her to ask Jeff who played Mitch in that show. Somehow, this guess is correct. Brendon says it would be stupid to guess on the first clue. The second clue is a microphone. Brendon guess Michael C Hall. Porsche guesses Michael Jackson. Rachel’s help did her no good. Adam says Ricky Martin. Lawon says Barbara Streisand. The third clue is a knight. Jeff guesses Mike Knight. Rachel says Keira Knightley. Then everybody just starts naming random people.

Jordan and three guests are invited to watch an advanced screening of Same Name. She picks Jeff, Shelly, and Kalia. Interesting. Not Rachel or Brendon. Needless to say, Rachel doesn’t like not getting her way. This sets the stage for another fight between her and Brendon. He lectures and threatens to leave the show. She cries.

Seeing as he’s thrown away his old alliance, Dominic has a new plan. Align with Brendon and Rachel, or at least pretend to do so. That way, he’ll always have a bigger target before him. Rachel and Brendon have decided that Jeff and Jordan are not bright players. Because they don’t paint giant targets on their backs by being obnoxious? Daniele is just as afraid of Jeff and Jordan as Brendon and Rachel are, so she wants to see if she can get someone else to do the dirty work.

Nominations
Brendon is automatically safe.
Daniele, Porsche, and Shelly are automatically safe.
Jeff and Jordan are safe.
Kalia and Lawon are safe.
Adam & Dominic have been nominated for eviction.

Both Adam and Dominic believe they’ve got deals that will save them.

After Dominic won veto in Big Brother 13 Episode 6, Cassi & Shelly were nominated in place of him and Adam.

Jordan says that Cassi & Shelly are the last duo she wants to put on the block. Well, then, congrats on using your HOH for your own good.

Cassi says she doesn’t want to campaign against Shelly, although Shelly tells her she should.

Rachel has come up with a couple of excuses to explain why she wants Cassi gone, none of which have to do with the truth that she’s jealous. First, she didn’t like what Cassi said about Porsche (I don’t know what that was, maybe I blinked and missed it). Second, she’s heard from plenty of people, plenty of people (of the 11 other contestants who entered the house) that Cassi wants a veteran gone. Who doesn’t? Oh, and Cassi’s a bad game player. This from the girl who went home in week 5 last year after making herself and her showmance the biggest targets in the house. Now Cassi understands why America hates Rachel. She’s catty and ugly inside. Upon going to Jordan to cry about this, Jordan says Rachel can come across as bitchy, and her mouth is going to get them all in trouble.

When he gets wind of this, Brendon says he’s done with anybody who’s mean to Rachel. Good luck having anyone left to talk to then. He promptly picks a fight with Cassi and twists her words to suit his desire to run his mouth.

Votes
Rachel: Cassi
Brendon: Cassi
Jeff: Cassi
Adam: Cassi
Dominic: Cassi
Daniele: Cassi
Kalia: Cassi
Lawon: Cassi
Porsche: Cassi

By a vote of 9-0, Cassi has been evicted from the Big Brother house. Rachel got her wish and is now the fourth prettiest girl in the house.

Jordan, Daniele, Porsche, and now Shelly will sit out of the HOH competition. This competition is based on questions voted on by viewers.

Which houseguest would America rather get mouth to mouth resuscitation from? Jeff or Brendon?
Jeff. Everybody is correct.

Which houseguest is more likely to warm the pool with something other than their charm? Adam or Kalia?
Adam. Everybody is correct.

Which houseguest is more likely to steal someone’s lover? Rachel or Porsche?
Porsche. Kalia has been eliminated.

Which houseguest is more likely to save someone from a burning building? Shelly or Brendon?
Brendon. Jeff has been eliminated.

Which houseguest would America rather see spend the entire summer wearing a bikini? Porsche or Daniele?
Daniele. Adam, Lawon, and Dominic are out.

Which houseguest would America rather cheat off of on a test? Jordan or Lawon?
Lawon. Both are correct.

Which houseguest is more likely to seriously go bananas? Adam or Dominic?
Adam. Brendon has been eliminated. Rachel wins HOH.

Boring. We need a power shift, and these stupid golden keys bringing it down to just three choices really is not helping matters any.

Adam & Dominic were nominated in Big Brother 13 Episode 5. Adam trusts he’s not the target. Jordan says they have to work with him, for right now, though she does not trust him. Dominic feels he is the target, and his partner is a traitor. Meanwhile, Rachel is angry that the prettiest girl in the house has not been nominated. Don’t worry. She has no intention of messing with your man.

Jordan instructs Adam to throw the veto. Contrary to Jordan’s plan, Daniele and Rachel want Dominic to win veto.

In response to her reaction to Cassi, Jordan calls Rachel almost ridiculous. The risk here is that they help Cassi bond with Jeff and Jordan.

Joining Jeff, Jordan, Adam, and Dominic in the veto competition, Brendon and Rachel are selected at random. Rachel suggests winning the competition and changing the nominations. They want to make a deal with Dominic and then all of them partner with Daniele. This is a worse alliance than the last worse alliance. Oh, but they’re not turning on Jeff and Jordan. Rather, they are not making good decisions. The lone voice of reason is Brendon, who doesn’t to do this behind their backs, but he does not protest much.

This is a singles veto competition, so Adam won’t be able to drag down his partner. The challenge is to chew gumballs, cross the balance beam, and fill in a veto portrait. Jordan’s looking forward to this. She walks and chews gum all the time. If you fall, you’re out, unless you’re willing to accept two weeks of slop, though a second fall will eliminate you anyway. Adam doesn’t even have to try to throw the competition because his balance sucks. Go ahead and try your hardest, dude. Jordan is the first to fall. She offers to take two weeks of slop, but Jeff talks some sense into her because neither of the girls is going to win this. This leads to more whining from Rachel, as vocally as possible (as if there’s an alternative from her). Rachel falls, but she takes the two weeks of slop. She very quickly falls again after that. That was stupid. Hope you proved the point you were trying to make. Jeff and Brendon give him a run for his money, but Dominic ends up winning the veto.

After the competition, Jeff picks a fight with Rachel due to the comments she made during the challenge. Brendon’s behind her 100%, aside from the fact that he doesn’t understand why she made a comment that they shouldn’t even try if the HOH isn’t going to try. Rachel hides in the bushes and cries. She decides she doesn’t work with them any more (you were working with them in the first place?), but Brendon doesn’t want to get nominated.

Adam’s just as happy as Dominic because he’s safe, too, all without breaking his word.

Rachel suggests that she could be a bitch and tell them that they let Jordan win HOH, but Brendon has her instead make a fake apology that nobody buys.

Jordan realizes a simple fact. If Brendon and Rachel had the option, they would ignore her and nominate whoever they wanted.

As much as he wants to be in this new alliance, Dominic doesn’t want to break ties with his old alliance either.

Dominic uses the veto to save himself and Adam as expected. In his place, Cassi and Shelly have been nominated.
