And.... the best part? Dick and Danielle are back!!!! Yay!! I didn't mention them yesterday, and I still love, love Jeff and Jordan, but I (wrongly!) thought then that it was going to be romantic couples. But no, I'm so glad the father-daughter team of Dick and Danielle are back along with Jeff and Jordan!!!! Unfortunately, the third returning pair is Brendan and... ugh! Rachel (who are now engaged!)
RECAP
Host Julie Chen, wearing a cute red dress, looks softer somehow this year... and happier with bigger smiles. She announces that the contestants don't know that they're going to have to work in pairs together against six returning houseguests from past seasons who will also be working in pairs.
The first four of the eight to enter the house and pick their beds are Porsche, Dominic, Lawon and Shelly. Lawon, who, with his receding hairline and curly hair, plus exuberant attitude, reminds of a black Richard Simmons, exclaims "I can't believe I'm here in the Big Brother house! I am just so happy!" After the remaining four, Keith, Kalie, Cassi and Adam enter the house, the houseguests gather in the living room and introduce themselves to the group.
As usual, some people hide some information and replace it with made up stuff. Keith apparently ditched his planned garbage man or whatever it was cover for his actual church deacon/HR manager careers in favor of saying he was a match maker? Porsche says her parents "thought it would be funny to name her after a car" and tells everyone she's a student rather than a VIP cocktail waitress. (If I never hear that so called career title again, I will be as happy as Lawon.) Cassi doesn't want to say she's a model, so she doesn't, but Dominic openly tells everyone he makes his money modeling while being a student.
Then, Julie tells them the twists. She adds that how they choose their partner is up to them.
Keith goes right for Porsche. He is wearing a giant blue daisy on his lapel and Porsche isn't too impressed. She had her sights set on Dominic, but pairs with Keith anyway. Lawon heads for Kalie who also isn't thrilled, but goes along. Cassi approaches Shelly cuz she thinks Shelly seems cool (so do I so far) and meanwhile, heavy metal, bearded bald guy and 90210 fan, Adam, chooses Dominic who tells the camera he was a little scared to say no!

Soon it's time to reveal the three returning Dynamic Duos. Ding-dong Doorbell #1Yay! The first couple is Jeff and Jordan. Ding-dong Doorbell #2 Boo! The second one is Brendan and Rachel. Ding-dong Doorbell #3 Super Yay! It's the father and daughter team of Dick and Danielle!! (Didn't recognize her at first with the dark rather than blond hair which seems to age her. Maybe she didn't want to look like Alice in Wonderland again?!)
Dick confides to the cameras that he and Danielle haven't spoken for three years. Well that didn't stop them before, I think. Brendan notes a similar thought to the camera, while Lawon is thrilled to see Jeff and Jordan who he calls "the sweetheart couple and Big Brother royalty." I LOL when Dominic says to the camera, "Oh it's Brachel -- the beast of a couple!" Brachel are now engaged as Brendan apparently proposed to Rachel in a hot air balloon above the beach.
Out in the backyard, there are giant bananas hanging from ropes. It's an endurance task in which both members of a duo have to stay grasped onto the banana to compete for the first BB13 Head of Household. After awhile, here comes the chocolate sauce! Keith says "gross." Shelly is the first to slip. Oh no! Not another Kathy, I think. But, then she reveals to the camera a 'meant to' strategy as she didn't want to look like a "huge threat" right off the bat. Later Big Brother adds whipped cream to the chocolate sauce.
The next ones to fall are Jordan, Keith, Cassi and Lawon. Soon Jeff, Dominic, Adam, Porsche and Kalie are out of the competition also, leaving only Dick and Danielle on one banana and Rachel on another. Dick and Danielle, the super-competitors that they are, look unfettered like they could be there all day if they had to be. Rachel, who always seems like she's had 10 cups of coffee, chirps to them it's okay to fall -- she's got their back if they do. Dick drops. Danielle stays on a bit longer, wondering whether she can really trust Rachel. (I say noooooo... but then know that the Dynamic Duo of Dick and Danielle would *SO* get her back!!!) Danielle drops and Rachel is announced the winner. Brendan says he loves her and wishes he could marry her right now. (Yeah because *that's* what a marriage should be based on, right? Barf!)
After Rachel's HOH win, Adam roars in heavy metal splendor, "Noooooooo!!!!" like it was echoing off of a mountaintop and I love him for it. It seems like no one knows who Rachel will put up for eviction, especially with another new Big Brother twist this season: Those who survive the chopping block for the first four weeks are guaranteed a spot in the top ten!
I can't wait until Sunday to see who the nominees are!
