Big Brother 13 Recap for episode airing August 3, 2011:
DANIELE BETRAYS HER ALLIANCE:
On Sunday’s show, Daniele broke with the veteran alliance and nominated Brendon and Rachel for eviction, telling them: “You two drew the first sword.” Daniele said her target is Brendon and she feels like Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Rachel said in the Diary Room that she may have pulled the first sword, but she is “back with Excalibur and that sword is undefeated.”
JJ AND BR DELIBERATE
Right after the nominations, Rachel and Brendon were talking in the Have Not Room and Jeff and Jordan walked in. Rachel told them if Brenchel win POV, Daniele would put Jeff up because she wants to kick out a man. Shelly joined them and just listened in. Brendon said worst case scenario if he goes home, he and Rachel would be married forever. Rachel told Brendon if she wins POV, she can’t pull him off the chopping block but Brendon told her if he wins, he would pull her off. Tells you a lot about that relationship. She did say they are better together as a team than they are individually.
Brendon said in the Diary Room that this is really hard on him because Rachel is his best friend and they fought hard to be together for the summer. Back in the Have Not room, Brendon tried to console his depressed fiance and told her he will find a cure for cancer and he will patent it and they will make money for the rest of their lives.
Jeff and Jordan were alone and she said she was surprised by the nominations because she thought Daniele would nominate Jeff and Brendon even though JJ had made a deal with Daniele to keep Daniele safe next week if she kept them safe this week. Jeff disagreed. He also said if Brenchel win POV, it would be safer for Jordan than him to be on the block with either Rachel or Brendon because Jordan would be safe by a unanimous vote.
DANIELE TIES TO SMOOTH THINGS WITH RACHEL
Daniele apologized to Rachel and asked her not to take things personally [She did this of course to cover her hide next week.] Daniele’s lies continued: “I am not trying to hurt you.” When questioned as to why Daniele would put up the love birds, Daniele said she felt attacked when Brenchel went back on their promise to Daniele and Dominic. Rachel said in the Diary Room that Daniele is a mean snake for turning on her alliance and said she will come after Daniele.
VETO COMPETITION
Daniele picked Jeff’s name to play. Rachel picked Adam. Brendon picked Porsche. Things looked great for Brenchel. Daniele picked Lawon for host, so, at least he is coming in useful for something in the house.
Jeff told Jordan that if he wins POV, he won’t be dumb enough to use it on Brenchel because that would mean Jordan would be nominated. He said he will tell Daniele that their deal is good but if he survives this week, he will break his word to Daniele and put her up. “Of course!” said Jordan but then they agreed about back dooring her.
The Power of Veto competition consisted of a “graveyard” of past competitions. Each contestant had to guess how long it would take them to complete each task. The person guessing the least amount of time would have to try to complete that task in less time than guessed, or they would be eliminated. Also, each person guessing the most amount of time needed would be eliminated if the person doing the task succeeded. Poor Adam had to play the game in his elf costume–though he didn’t last long enough for it to make a difference.
First task was to guess how fast they could chew gum and walk across a balance team to fill out a POV sign with the chewed up gum. Rachel’s guess of 2 minutes was the least so she had to do that task. Rachel accomplished her task, so, she was saved and Adam was eliminated.
Second task was to complete a “POV puzzle.” Rachel guessed the least again – a ridiculous guess of 38 seconds – and Porsche the most. Rachel came close but failed and was knocked out of the competition.
Third task was to take lettered hair out of the weird statue leg and spell an 11 letter word relating to Big Brother. Daniele thought Brendon would be cocky and pick a low time, so she tried to go over him by picking what she thought would be just a tad bit longer. She misjudged. Her guess of 29 seconds was the lowest and she had to try to complete the task and failed miserably so she was eliminated.
On the fourth task, they had to wear cow costumes and transfer three gallons of milk from a milk pool into a jug. Porsche guessed the highest. Jeff wanted to win because he still did not trust Daniele and wanted to keep himself safe. Jeff missed the task by about a second, so, he was eliminated.
In the last round, they had to guess the time it would take to make a golf hole in one. Brendon’s guess of 33 seconds was less than Porsche’s by two seconds. With three seconds to spare, Brendon got a hole in won and won the POV! AH! Rachel’s hero! Daniele was upset because she will have to put up a replacement nominee and make another enemy in the house.
Brendon is smart. He told Rachel that even though he will use the POV on her, he will tell everyone he is using it on himself so Daniele is forced to change her game plan last minute.
SHELLY IS NOT TRUSTED BY DANIELE
Kalia and Daniele keep getting closer and spend a lot of time together in the HOH Roon. Shelly came into HOH room and asked Daniele who she wants to go home and she said it depends on who is saved by POV. After Shelly left, Daniele called Shelly sketchy to Kalia and said Shelly plays both sides of the house. Kalia suggested they put Jordan on the block as a pawn and Daniele said she will talk to JJ to feel them out.
DANIELE AND JJ REAFFIRM THEIR DEAL
JJ came into the HOH room and Daniele told them that she “genuinely from her heart” will do whatever it takes to keep them safe in the house. Yep, this coming from the woman who tried to backdoor Jeff last week. Daniele asked JJ to fish for info to see who Brendon is taking off of the block. JJ promised Daniele safety again for next week, a safety which we already know they plan on breaking.
BRENCHEL MEETS WITH DANIELE
JJ asked Brendon if he will use POV on himself and he lied to them and said he would because Rachel is not Daniele’s target. Rachel and Brendon met with Daniele and he told her that he will use the POV on himself because he can get further in the game than Rachel can. He also asked Daniele if she at all intends on working with them moving forward. Brendon said he would be willing to have a clean slate with her if Daniele nominates someone who would be sure to be sent home next week instead of Rachel. Brendon said he guarantees he will win HOH next week and told her the three of them have the opportunity to change the game if they could just trust each other and work together form this moment forward. Daniele said she would think about it.
VETO CEREMONY
Brendon had told everyone that he would take himself off of the block. He asked Rachel to give him a reason to use the POV on her and Rachel said I want you to use it on yourself. Brendon of course used it on Rachel and everyone looked dumbfounded. With Rachel now off of the block, Daniele picked Jordan as a replacement nominee, saying she does not want to make any more enemies. Rachel looked sad. Jordan looked sweet. Daniele looked pissed even though Brendon was her target.
Jordan said she hopes she’s safe even though “pawns normally go home sometimes.” Rachel felt like a fairy tale princess who got saved by a knight in shining armor from the evil witch living in the HOH room.
So, that’s it. come back tomorrow to see who was evicted from the big brother house and to see why and for how long Evel Dick returns to the BB house! Yes, Evel Dick is coming back.
