So Brendon is back in the game on Big Brother 13. He‘s reunited with Rachel, Jeff and Jordan are happy that the biggest target came back to keep them safe, and Daniele and Kalia are understandably furious that the past two weeks were just completely undone.

This week couldn‘t have worked out much better for Rachel, Jeff and Jordan on Big Brother 13. When Kalia won HoH, it looked like the veterans were doomed, but thanks to the paranoia created over the mysterious twist, Kalia‘s desperate need for Jeff and Jordan to like her, and Lawon‘s general insanity, the veterans lucked out.

Friends, Romans, Big Brother 13 fans, lend me your ears. In this episode we get a Power of Veto competition based on the story of Sisyphus, and ancient history seems to be everywhere.

Winning HoH says a lot about how you play the Big Brother game. Sure, you can make alliances and deals until the moon cows come home, but once you have to make the real decisions, the pressure is on.

Sometimes Big Brother 13 episodes are nothing but filler, and that‘s the case this week. When special segments focus on Adam taking off his elf costume or Shelly playing a joke on Kalia in the hammock, you know the producers didn‘t have enough good footage to fill a whole hour.

In the first four weeks on Big Brother 13, Brendon won three Power of Veto competitions (one with Rachel) while Dominic got the other.

Kalia is running the Big Brother 13 house this week, and despite some general paranoia about the big twist that‘s coming (remember, the HGs have no idea what it is), things are pretty clear.

For the first time on Big Brother 13, a newbie has won the HoH. Kalia is queen, which means for the second straight week, the veteran power couples (now minus Brendon) are on the losing side of the house.

All bad things must come to an end, and with this live eviction episode of Big Brother 13, I‘m referring to Brendon and Rachel.

If you‘re still unsure of what the word "irony" means, this episode of Big Brother 13 has the answer.
