Big Brother 13, Episode 19: BrenDONE?

by Guest Blogger EllaMentry

First off, thanks to the Tweeter who came up with the term BrenDone. I believe it was eularissalopes. Very clever! Just please don’t sue me for plagiarism. Ok, let’s get to it, shall we?

This eviction ceremony is an important one. The HGs have been squabbling all week and suspicion is mounting. Dani doesn’t trust Rachel, no surprise there. Rachel hasn’t trusted Shelly for a couple weeks now. Even Jordan is beginning to question her blonde buddy. Still, one thing is for sure. Brendon may lose his bid to stay by a wide margin. At this point, only Rachel’s vote is secured. If her sweetie goes, she’s got a lot to worry about. Jeff flat out tells Brenchel that if the bottom duo can’t get Adam or Porsche on their side and JeJo do support him, this in turn would make JeJo big time targets. Like Jeff isn’t a target already? Silly wabbit.

Shelly is determined to rid the house of Dani’s zombie. Brendon is convinced he’s not goin’ nowhere. Rachel sheds a few obligatory tears and the two head off to the HN room to commiserate. Eventually Rachel turns her attention to the Evil Dr. Shelly and plans to target JeJo if they fail to give Brendon their votes. Of course, she plans to win HOH. It’s so her turn.

Shelly stops by the chaise lounges to talk things over with HOH Dani and for the millionth time tells someone she’s 100% behind a plan – her integrity is what’s most important. Brenchel must be split up. Brendon comes up with a we BROs got to stick together diatribe with Adam and Rachel tackles Porsche, who’s only role this season is to host POV contests. Rachel snitches to Porsche that if Shelly wins HOH, she plans to put the princess of velour on the block. Porsche hems and haws, giving no indication what she’ll do. Jeff knows whatever he does is vital to his future HG health. He approaches Shelly who is adamant Rachel needs to leave soon. Jordan tries to reason pros and cons with her, to no avail.

Very early in the morning, Dani gathers with Jeff and Jordan to tell them they are not her targets. She spills her wine, err sorrow six ways from Sunday. ‘I’m either in a really good mood or high as a kite, so let’s make a deal!’

Tension mounts as Jeff get’s all macho in defense of Jordan who felt ambushed by Brenchel and snaps at Rachel for giving him dirty looks and icky body language. They play a numbers game as to who’s been on the block more, thereby at higher risk. Rachel does win that one, but Jeff refuses to set his temper aside. Brendon continues to run like hell on the elliptical machine with an occasional, “Hey Jeff, relax,” comment. In the final analysis, if Brenchel can capture Adam, Jeff and Jordan will vote their way.

After the break, Julie speaks with the HGs beginning with Shelly and her tear jerking phone call home. Shelly’s recharged now and ready to rock. Jordan get’s the atta-girl award by giving away the phone call for a higher cause.

Brendon is convinced he came back into the game because the audience is fed up with floaters winning and would rather someone who’s willing to battle it out land on top. He will be voting for the best game player. Rachel gives a rah-rah speech and promises to come back biting, no swinging like Mike Tyson.

The next scene eight-year old Josie is interviewed at the Moore home. She understands what her mother is doing, but she really needs to stop lying. HAHAHAHAHA! Josie is such a sweetie, when she see’s Rachel is safe at the HOH meeting and thanks Dani, she remarks, “Shut up Rachel.” NICE!

Julie Chen tells Dani in the HOH room, ‘to speak your mind. How fun was it watching Brendon put his clothes back in the bureau?’ ‘I hated it. He’s such a dork/bully/PhD wanna be. I blame Adam. I blame Rachel. I blame Lawon. I blame everyone on the planet. I blame production. I–I-I blame YOU Julie!‘

In their adios speeches, Shelly spews out something about integrity and honesty and Rachel responds with a gag reflex. Brendon swears to cure cancer and as a parting shot to Dani, the zombie tells her, “You will always be my Judas.” I bet Dani can spell God complex in the next Big Brother spelling bee.

The vote takes place and is broken down this way: “I vote to evict Shelly, Brendon, Brendon, Brendon, Brendon, Brendon. And with that it’s BrenDone.

Our three-time evictee listens to the goodbye messages, yet again. This time Dani is more amusing saying if he comes back one more time, she may have to evict herself. Kalia, once again is just plain nasty. Jeff says he’ll look after Rachel as best he can and hopes his good buddy has left the chronic PMS instruction manual this time. Rachel promises it’s a brand new day and not to hate on her because she’s going to get farther than he did in the game this year. Suddenly, like he was never here, poof Brendon is gone again, this time to the jury house.

The gang is set up in the backyard for an endurance style HOH competition. The object of this evening’s game is to transfer tiny cups of slippery liquid soap across the yard and deposit them into oversized fishbowls (about 3oz at a time). I imagine Adam, Jeff and Shelly will wish they’d quit smoking about half way through. They begin with cutesy soap bubbles raining down, followed by a fluffy downpour turning the yard into a complete Mr. Bubbles bath deal. Ah those were the days. It’s only a matter of time before someone’s desperate desire to become HOH goes ‘slip sliding away.’

If that’s not fun enough for the Big Brother fan base, next Thursday Julie will be hosting a double eviction episode. As we leave the HGs, the production crew turns on the rinse cycle. This can’t be good for Jordan’s Jolly Green Giantess outfit. Wonder if anyone will break their azz for the win, or just go flying and break their azz?

Bet’s anyone?
