Big Brother 13 Thursday August 11, 2011 episode was full of answers! Who won America’s Choice and who came back to the BB house? Who got evicted? Was Rachel evicted or did Lawon leave? Who won HOH? KEEP READING FOR A FULL SHOW RECAP.
RECAP:
9:05 PM At the start of the episode, Julie Chen says Lawon volunteered to be evicted so he can come back with a special power. But “what Lawon does not know, is that there is no special power.” Live audience chuckles! Julie say mockingly, “I know.”
Lawon is seen in the Diary Room boasting about making the “boldest” move in BB history. He says he is 99% sure he is coming back with a special power. Oh Poor delusional Lawon.
THE HOUSE REACTS TO KALIA’S REPLACEMENT NOMINATION OF LAWON
Jeff says in the Diary Room that either Kalia is super intellingent and Jeff can’t figure out what her plan is, or she is an idiot for nominating someone from her own alliance for eviction and helping the Jeff/Jordan/Rachel/others alliance. Oh Jeff, you know the answer. Next to what Lawon did, Kalia’s nomination is the second dumbest move ever made on Big Brother. Marcellas Reynolds is somewhere laughing that he will no longer have to own this crown of dumbest BB move…
9:07 Lawon “puts on his acting skills” and “puts on the performance of a lifetime” and pretends that he is pissed at being nominated so the houseguests don’t think he and Kalia are close. But Shelly figures out that Lawon is acting strange and when she confronts him in general, he specifically denies having “volunteered” to go up for eviction. Obviously, Shelly says in Diary Room, “I didn’t ask him if he volunteered, so, what’s this new piece of the puzzle?” So, Shelly went and interrogated Lawon who kept insisting that he was blindsided by the nomination. Shelly didn’t believe him and wanted to get to the bottom of it. Shelly asked Kalia if he volunteered and Kalia said yes and went back to sleep.
Shelly reported her findings to Jeff and Jordan.
Rachel thinks it’s a miracle that Kalia nominated Lawon next to her and said “I don’t even think Lawon knew he was in this house until he was nominated.” This follows Rachel having said, “I don’t even think Lawon knows he was nominated for eviction, I think he thinks he’s just sitting in a comfortable chair.” Love or hate Rachel, you got to admit, she has some great lines.
9:11 Jeff says he doesn’t care how crazy Lawon acts, the vets have the votes to kick him out.
RACHEL MAKES A DEAL WITH KALIA AND DANIELE..OR DOES SHE?
9:12 PM Rachel meets with Kalia to keep herself safe. She kept her cool which is shocking and told them she has two votes to stay and needs one more vote to stay. Kalia told her they have the votes to decide the outcome and said they would call a truce if Rachel promised that she would not come after them if she stayed in the house. Rachel promised that she will target floaters and not Kalia and Daniele if she stays in the house. They made a deal and Kalia told Rachel not to tell rest of house about the deal or she will be evicted.
9:14 Rachel tells the other vets about her meeting with Kalia and Daniele but denies them offering her a deal. She said it felt that they were threatening her to work with them if they keep her; saying that they’re saying she will owe them if she stays. It’s a smart play by Rachel so word doesn’t get back to Kalia and Daniele that she spilled the beans. Rachel still plans on going after Daniele and Kalia.
9:16 Shelly tells Daniele that Rachel is acting like she has the votes, making it look like she has a deal with them–this pissed Daniele off since she had asked Rachel to keep her mouth shut. Obviously Shelly was not telling the truth. She wanted to stir things up to get more info out of Daniele. Shelly questions if there is a deal with Kalia and Daniele with Rachel and Daniele says no. Daniele says she’s confused as to who to vote for: The one that needs to be locked up or the one that will kill her in her sleep. Daniele tells Kalia and Kalia is pissed too.
9:17 Daniele and Kalia still don’t know who they should vote out. DUH!
9:24 VIDEO: Old footage from BB 12 is shown with Ragan talking smack about Rachel! But since the show ended, the two have become great friends, work out together and he will be in Brenchel’s wedding! Matt joins in for the playful Rachel bashing. Ragan says Rachel is like the killer in a slasher movie: you can kill her, decapitate her, you can set her body on fire but she always comes back for one more scare.
KALIA IN HOH ROOM
Kalia in in the HOH room – She tells Julie that her biggest HOH challenge was dealing with the twist. She said she wanted Rachel out of the house and the possibility of her coming back confused her. She also says she has no regrets on any decisions she has made but if Lawon leaves and doesn’t come back she will feel responsible. She says she misses her initial friendship with Jeff and Jordan no matter how much she loves Daniele now.
LIVE EVICTION VOTING
SPEECHES: Rachel, wearing a “I heart my hubby” shirt, thanked her family and BB13 for the experience. “Remember it’s twist week guys!”
Lawon says this has been a great summer for him and he has fallen in love with everyone. Lawon said, “There is a twist this week and whatever happens, happens. Do you!”
- Jordan votes to evict Lawon
- Jeff votes to evict Lawon
- Porsche votes to evict Lawon – a boo is heard from live audience.
- Daniele votes to evict Lawon and says “I am gonna regret this!” A cheer is heard in live audience.
- Shelly votes to evict Lawon
- Adam votes to evict Lawon
AMERICA’S CHOICE
BUT WAIT! Julie tells Lawon to have a seat! And she tells the houseguests about America’s Choice! And tells Lawon he will have a chance to come back into the BB house by battling the winner of America’s Choice. When Julie reads the names of the four evicted houseguests, Daniele claps in joy, probably sure of herself that America would of course only vote back in her boy toy, Dominic. Rachel is seen with her mouth dropped wide open as realization sets in that she may see Brendon walk through the door.
We then switch to the backyard where Keith, Cassi, Dominic and Brendon, who have been sequestered since their eviction, are anxiously waiting. Keith learns for the first time who was evicted after him and says he can’t believe to see Brendon standing there. Cassi says the same thing about Brendon. Dom offered his first born child and his brother as an indentured servant to get back in the house. Julie tells them that Rachel and Lawon were nomintaed for eviction and that Lawon was evicted. Brendon is shocked. But pumps his fist in victory.
THE TWO FINALISTS for America’s Choice are Brendon and Dominic, one of which will fight Lawon to get back in the house!!! Julie tells us that over 2 million votes were cast and it was a very close vote! We see Rachel and Jordan holding hands. Shelly is seen happy.
AMERICA’s CHOICE TO BATTLE LAWON IS: BRENDON!!!
“That’s How We Roll” is the name of the twist competition between Brendon and Lawon. They each had to find, then roll a complete set of balls, each with the name of all 14 houseguests among 150 balls, into a specific hole. Rachel cheered on Brendon and instructed him on how to play. Jordan had her eyes closed she was so nervous. Once Brendon finished, everyone tried to help Lawon even though it was obvious he could not finish in time and that Brendon had clearly won. Rachel jumped on Brendon when it was all over and he had won. I can only imagine how happy the two are right now. Daniele looked like she was deep in thought and regret.
