Tuesday Afternoon

Good evening, BB Lovers! :0) I hope you've had a wonderful Tuesday.

I can't believe it's our last full night of the Big Brother 13 live feeds... What a season... Unbelievable! And as final 3 HGs go, Rachel, Adam and Porsche have been terrific. This season has been game on since the word go, so it's only fitting it should end in the same manner, right?

Thank you so much for spending another season with us here on BBDish!☺ I've got a lot of surprises in store for you tomorrow for finale day! There's one I'm bursting about, but I can't say anything yet. Isn't that always the way?? So began the summer, and so it ends. ;)

As you know, I've been the lucky user of a Relax the Back chair all season, and I've made it something of a personal goal that a BBDisher should win the $6000 massage chair they're giving away when they hit 5,000 likes on facebook. I just checked and they have less than 600 to go. We really ought to be able to knock that out in nothing flat! Click Here and go "Like" em on facebook!

To everyone who got their live feeds here and/or hit the tip jar, thank you thank you thank you! It's because of you that BBDish and all independent Big Brother sites survive from season to season. We depend upon your support to keep on doing what we do. Without it? Kaput!

As I look I on the HGs right now, they're happily playing cards and they seem to be genuinely enjoying each other's company in the back yard... All was not so calm earlier today on the live feeds though, and I mean to dive into the flashback machine and get to covering that for you now...

Please refresh this post periodically and all will be revealed...

Adam & Porsche

Backyard

Adam tries an oldie but a goodie in the Big Brother world.. Vilify Rachel to win friends and gain influence.. or a spot in the final 2, as the case may be.

Porsche: ok, quick! What was she saying? Was she campaigning while I was asleep?

Adam: No.. but.. I was campaigning last night.. while I couldn't sleep.. to myself.. and.. I don't wanna see her earn a f*ckin' penny.

Porsche: hehe

Adam: I am so f*ckin' over her. I am so over her. I am so done with her. I know you're gonna do what you gotta do, and I respect you for it, but I do not wanna see her earn a f*ckin' penny.

Porsche: I know.

Adam: (getting heated now) I am so... sick of her. Some of the things that she said last night.. sank in? And that's why.. one of my favorite expressions is.. "In the morning I will see what you were tryin' to say to me," because sometimes it takes time to.. It's a lyric from a Mr Bungle (?) song, and I use that in my Bunglism religion.. If you wanna take me, I will help you win that half million dollars. I know that's a big risk for you, and I respect your decision, but if I'm not sittin' next to you, you got my vote.

***You could spend hours digging through the conversations from last night and not find Rachel saying anything offensive to Adam. Quite the contrary, she was trying to build him up.

Porsche: Cool, thanks. Well, I was gonna make it worth it anyway for you.. but I just think I have a better shot of like..

Adam: In this game, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Porsche: ..of like the Shelly vote..

***I will be stunned if Shelly votes for Porsche over Rachel. Shelly's a gamer, and while she may not care for Rachel, I believe she respects Rachel's game a great deal more than Porsche's. Further, both Shelly and Kalia said they would vote for Rachel if she made it to final 2, acknowledging that she'd had the toughest road to get there.

Porsche: ..and the Dani vote and stuff like that..

Adam: And I respect that.

***I'd be doubly stunned if Dani didn't vote for Rachel to win against either Adam or Porsche. . Out of everyone in the jury house, I believe Dani both understands and respects the game the most, and she, too, has said that if Rachel makes it to final 2, she's got her vote..

Adam: I still want you to think about it.

Porsche: Yeah.

Adam: I will help you, and..

Porsche: Well, I still have to win tomorrow first.

***That's another thing. I think it's actually in Porsche's best interest to agree with every word out of Adam's mouth, and then throw the comp tomorrow. That way the blood of Adam's eviction is not on her hands. A bloodless coup, if you will. It could work either way though. He could revert to his original promise of voting for whomever wins the last part.

Adam: Through this game, even though we were on opposite sides, I was still helping you..

Porsche: Yeah..

Adam: ..because I respected you as a person, whereas her? I have lost all respect for.

Porsche: I agree. And I think her speech is.. I mean, I've thought about my speech for 3 days. Of like, stuff I'll say, but um..

***Show me where your shoulder is, Porsche.

Adam: Again, you do what you gotta do.. But some of the things she said last night? To both of us? Some of the things she said to me before hand? Done. Done.

Porsche: Yeah.. she doesn't deserve it. That I know. But..

Rachel comes out, and talk turns to weather. Porsche compliments her bathing suit.. Rachel runs back inside to put on her microphone, giving Adam the opportunity for one more comment.

Adam: Make it worth my while though.. as a friend.

Rachel & Porsche

Feed 1 & 2

Adam heads inside... Porsche checks out the situation inside her bikini bottoms.

Porsche: Dude, this is like out of control. I feel like I'm living in 1970 right now.

Rachel: Why?

Porsche: My (sotto voce) bush.

Rachel: huh?

Porsche: (mouths it) my bush.

Rachel: Oh, your bush.

Porsche: hahahaha! I tried to mouth it.

Rachel: Oh.. sorry, sorry..

Porsche: It's ok.

Rachel: (tries to recover) In the tree over there, that bush is crazy...

Porsche: Yes. It's out of control.

Rachel: I have a garden at home. I always trim my bushes.

Porsche: I.. don't really have a garden at home.. and I normally just like don't have any bushes..

Rachel: Here in the big brother house, the bushes are more out there? Since we don't have any good stuff to..

Porsche: Trim the bushes?

Enough.. Chatter continues a few minutes, but we'll rejoin at the important part.

2:03pm

Rachel: Has Adam talked to you anything else?

Porsche: No. I think he's done. What do you think?

***This caught my ear, because it's the first time Porsche hasn't been 100% honest with Rachel since they became the final 3...

Rachel: I don't know.

Porsche: Has he talked to you?

Rachel: No. He doesn't say anything to me. That's why I was like, wondering.. He doesn't even, like, barely talk to me.

Porsche: He hasn't been talking a lot today.

The door opens and Adam comes out, ending this conversation.

Rachel & Adam

Kitchen

Rachel wants to clear the air about the Janelle/Porsche situation... Adam's over it. He's got his sights set on final 2, now with Rachel... Adam's an equal opportunity take me to final 2 seeker...

***By the way, is this the first time all the fishies have made it to final 3??

Rachel: ..it's just that she told me in the beginning of the summer that Janelle gave her the number. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you guys.

Adam: No.. that's fine.

Rachel: I'm not tryin' to talk sh*t or anything.

Adam: My question to you though is.. what's it gonna take for you to take me to the final 2.

Rachel: (sigh)

Adam: I know that's a tough decision for you.

Rachel: It is a tough decision.. and I've been thinking about it a lot. Umm.. You know I have to think about the jury votes..

Adam: Right.

Rachel: ..and i have to think about... being honest, I don't think I have the votes.. so it's like..

Adam: But do you think you have the votes against Porsche?

Rachel: No.

**in what world?

Rachel: I think it's 3-3. You're the tiebreaker. What you decide, you decide. If you hate my guts and you decide you don't wanna take me, then she wins a half a million dollars.

***While Rachel is talking, all of Adam's attention is focused on the pineapple he's cutting.

Rachel: I think I have convincing arguments to the jury, but I think it's gonna be.. I have to really think about the jury votes.. like Kalia? Shelly? I think I could have Brendon, Jeff and Jordan , if it's me and you.. Only because Jordan kinda told me that they were gonna vote based on the last few competitions.

Adam: Right.

Rachel: Um.. So I don't know.. I mean.. I'm being honest with you, so please don't share this with Porsche.

Adam: No. Believe me. I've asked her the same question.

Rachel: Yeah.. I've just.. I've worked so hard this summer, and like.. I have.. Honest to God, Adam, I don't know what to do. I've played such a hard game this summer. I've always been a target. I've always been on someone's radar.. I've always had people gunning for me. I've had to win competitions to save myself. I've had to, you know.. I've had more ups and downs than anyone in this game..

Adam: To play devil's advocate for a second.. Why do you think you were a target?

Rachel: Because I was a competitor. 100%. And because I had Brendon.. and maybe I was a little mouthy..

***ding ding ding.. we have the answer Adam was digging for.

Adam: That.. and leaving like, mean goodbye messages? That might actually be what prevents you from winning. Ya know, cuz.. You can make the arguments to them about how good of a competitor you are, but at the end of the day, that might be the last and lasting impressions they got.

**he has a point.

Rachel: mm hmm

Adam: So I don't know how you can make them see.. especially like, making your last pleas to them.. making your case.. and that's where I think you can earn your votes.

Rachel: mm.. Well what do you think?

Adam: Honestly? What I think doesn't really matter. As far as like..

Rachel: Well shouldn't you be telling me why I should take you?

**point, Rachel.

Adam: Umm.. you should take me because.. I've been on your side.. for most of the game.

Rachel: (nods)

Adam: Um.. when Brendon left, and some people turned their back on you? Some people were there for you, and some people tried to boost you up? (***good one) And..

Rachel: And a lot of people (**Porsche) turned their back on me.

Adam: And maybe that should be worth something..

Rachel: It is.

Adam: But again, you have to do what you think is best for you.. But if you look at who helped you along the way.. versus.. and that can also be your argument to the jury.. "Hey, I stuck with the people who stuck with me, and in this game, loyalty means a lot." So.. Just something to think about..

Rachel: That's true.

Adam: I mean.. when Brendon left, we definitely bonded a little bit more and talked a little bit more, and when he came back, we definitely.. stuck together.

Rachel: Yeah.

Adam: So yah, I mean, that could be an argument to the jury.. If you were against me, you were comin' after me, and I had to stick with people who were with me..

Rachel: yeah

Adam: And you have to respect that from my game.. I mean, I know if I'm in the final 2? I did not earn my spot. And if people would vote for someone who did not earn their spot there? I think that's a big mistake. And I think if you're a fan of the game, and you appreciate what the game is...

**it's so interesting.. the different approach he takes with Rachel vs with Porsche.. It's, dare we say, Shelly-esque. Tell them what they want to hear... or at least what you believe they want to hear. It took Porsche less than a minute to revert to the Rachel is evil stance once he brought it up.. Now with Rachel, he's appealing to her on a gamer stance.. and appealing to her sense of BB superiority, whether he believes is earned or not.

Adam: ..that could be..

Rachel: an argument?

Adam: ..the difference in a vote. And that's why I really would hope to think that Daniele, who says she's a fan of this game and loves this game, would respect the people who've earned it.

Rachel: Umm..

Adam: But we know Dani.. and sometimes her emotions are a little bit more than her game knowledge and game play.

Rachel: Exactly. (long pause) If I would've won that Veto, and it was me, you and Jordan, or even when Porsche would've left, and I didn't have to make a deal to stay? It would've been 100% no question in my mind.

Adam: Oh yeah. No and we all.. the 3 of us were bustin' our asses and...

Rachel: To try to stay..

Adam: And Porsche definitely did step up.. and kudos to her for that.

Rachel: Yeah.

Adam: Cuz, I mean, if anybody knows what that's like, it's you.

Rachel: Yeah.

Adam: The house is against you..

Rachel: Yeah..

Adam: I made it no secret to her that I was workin' with you guys again..

Adam's making note of all the loyalties he's shown Rachel... This conversation is ongoing.. If you'd like to continue with it on flashback, please go to 3:28pm on Feed 1 or 2

30 minutes later, Adam's back to working on Porsche..
