Big Brother 13 winner Rachel Reilly told TMZ last Thursday that she planned to tie the knot this weekend with her fiance Brendon Villegas. So did she?

According to TMZ, that answer is no! The reason? Rachel, 27, is hoping to have a paid made for TV wedding!

Apparently Rachel was drunk when she told TMZ of her plans to wed this weekend. Sources close to Rachel reveal she and Brendon have no plans of a quickie wedding. The couple however plans to settle down in Los Angeles where Brendon is currently enrolled in grad school at UCLA.

Rachel is now planning to use her $500,000 prize money to buy a condo. In addition to that, she also wants to try her hand at the entertainment industry, while pitching her wedding planning as a reality show to various production companies and networks in hopes of having it all paid for.

And immediately following her win on BB, Rachel gave an interview in which she revealed her shock and hurt over Adam Poch not voting for her.

“I was shocked by Adam’s vote. I wasn’t surprised that it was close, I thought it would be 3-3 and Adam would be the tiebreaker, but I was shocked with Adam’s vote,” said Rachel to Zap2It. “Earlier in the week he came in, he’s a super fan, he said he’s going to base all his decisions on game. I was shocked and hurt a little bit because he told me earlier that I earned it and he would vote for me. He said even if I evicted him, he would understand and vote for me and then he votes for Porsche?!”

In other BB news, Shelly Moore also spoke out about Jeff Schroeder in a new interview. If you recall, Shelly famously turned on her alliance member Jeff in the game, leading to some death threats by some deranged fans.

Shelly however assures TMZ that all is well with Jeff today, adding that the threats have also died down. Shelly states: “This is a game … Some fans get really excited, some get really crazy. It is what it is. We are fine. We are wonderful … Jeff and Jordan and all of us, we’re all buddies … LIFE IS GOOD!”

In a separate interview, Jeff stated all is forgiven with Shelly and denounced the death threats. He also apologized for some comments he made in the BB house which some felt were homophobic, stating he’s “totally not that person.”

TELL US – SHOULD ADAM HAVE VOTED FOR RACHEL? WOULD YOU WATCH A REALITY SHOW ABOUT RACHEL’S WEDDING?

A week after betraying her alliance member Jeff Schroeder, which ultimately led to death threats for her family from deranged fans, Big Brother 13′s Shelly Moore found herself voted out of the BB house.

In a new interview with Reality Wanted, the 41-year-old Centerville, Ohio native explains why she played both sides in the game, and whether or not she regrets turning against her alliance with Jeff and Jordan. Excerpts from Shelly’s interview below -

Q. RealityWanted: When you originally aligned with Jeff and Jordan, were you planning on sticking with them through the entire game or did you always know you’d have to turn on them at some point?
A. Shelly: I knew I would have to turn on them at some point. I absolutely knew there would have to be a separation.

Q. RealityWanted: You went back and forth between the newbies and the veterans this season. Did you feel torn at all about where your allegiance should be?
A. Shelly: No, I didn’t feel torn. My allegiance always would have stayed with the veterans because they had better gameplay. But on the other side, I needed to keep the newbies close and I knew they saw the veterans as such a threat and were so scared of them.

Q. RealityWanted: Did your fight with Jeff the morning of his eviction play a part in you turning on him?
A. Shelly: Yes.

Q. RealityWanted: You told Julie that voting out Jeff was a dumb move but what do you feel was your best move in the game?
A. Shelly: My best move was being able to actually work to manipulate both sides. I was pleased when I was able to convince Kalia not to put Jeff and Jordan on the block and get Lawon up there. I was happy I could get her to hear my arguments. I think for the most, working both sides worked out great for me.

A special episode of Big Brother aired last night during which one of the remaining five HGs was evicted. That honor went to Kalia, who was deemed as a bigger threat, rightfully so, than her alliance member Porsche. Jordan threw viewers a curve ball by voting to keep Kalia, thus forcing a tie. It however appears Rachel was aware of Jordan’s plan to vote to keep Kalia. No word yet on why Jordan voted the way she did. A new HOH competition was then played and ultimate floater Adam emerged the winner!

Below are spoilers on Adam‘s nominees, which doesn’t really matter because the POV winner has all the power this week. Find out who won the POV competition below!

NOMINATIONS - Adam nominated Porsche and Jordan.

POV Winner - Porsche won the POV! She is therefore guaranteed a spot in the final 3. This leaves Jordan and Rachel on the chopping block. At the moment, it appears Porsche’s plan is to vote out Jordan due to her past win.

It was double eviction week last Thursday on Big Brother 13, as two of the strongest players left in the game were voted out.

Veterans Danielle Donato and Jeff Schroeder were evicted, joining fellow veteran Brendon Villegas in the jury house. In new interviews, both Danielle and Jeff speak out on their evictions, what they would have done differently and their thoughts on being able to play the game twice.

Below are excerpts from Danielle’s interview with Reality Wanted -

Q. RealityWanted: What prompted to you to turn on your alliance with the veterans so early in the game?
A. Daniele: I knew that Jeff was going to be really hard to get out later on in the game. I had a really tight alliance with Brendon and Rachel. They were the perfect alliance member because they were strong competitors and huge targets. I knew that with Dominic the four of us could run the house. Period. Also, Brendon and Jeff walked around the house just bullying everyone, including me. I didn’t want any part of that. I am my own person and wanted to make my own moves and not base things on what Brendon and Jeff told me what to do.

Q. RealityWanted: Did you expect to be backdoored by Jeff? He has said in the past that that’s not how he plays.
A. Daniele: Jeff walks around that house preaching integrity and honesty. The reason I didn’t backdoor Jeff was because he accused me of attacking him on a personal level in week three in trying to back door him. I wanted to prove that it wasn’t personal. The only reason he backdoored me was because he held a personal grudge and wanted to make a big move.

Q. RealityWanted: Your relationships with Kalia and Porsche seem genuine. Are they friendships that you will carry outside of the game?
A. Daniele: I never came into this house expecting A. to make friends and B. to make friends with girls. I cannot wait to have real friendships with these people outside of the house. Kalia and Porsche are both amazing women. Those friendships were real and they will last forever.

Q. RealityWanted: What was the best part about getting to play the game a second time?
A. Daniele: I think the best part is knowing what I’m getting myself into and being able to appreciate the whole experience more.

Below are excerpts from Jeff’s interview with Reality Wanted -

Q. RealityWanted: What was the fight this week with Shelly about? Is it because she told Rachel that you threw the cornhole challenge?
A. Jeff: It was just to call Shelly out. She made three deals with other people in the house. That might have been my demise, but it happened the way it happened. I wasn’t scared of anyone in the house, but ultimately, that was my demise. Either way, I’m out and they are in.

Q. RealityWanted: Are you surprised that she suddenly turned on your alliance?
A. Jeff: Shocked. I thought I would be friends with Shelly after the game – and I want to say that it is all just a game – but for Shelly to do something like that really hurt. Right now, it stings, but we’ll see how I feel at the finale.

Q. RealityWanted: Playing a week’s worth of Big Brother in one night might be great television but it seems pretty terrible if you’re a player and end up on the wrong side of things. Could things have gone differently if tonight’s events took place over the course of a week?
A. Jeff: I don’t know what I could have done to prepare even if I had known, but I definitely would not have had it out with Shelly yesterday.

In other BB news, TMZ is reporting today that Shelly Moore’s family has met with the FBI over the death threats they had been receiving following Jeff’s eviction. Some deranged fans were apparently leaving frightening calls and emails for Shelly’s loved ones.

Fortunately, the FBI has determined that none of the threats were “credible.” Sources close to Shelly’s family also reveal that the threats have essentially stopped in the last couple of days. Good.

And finally, a new live eviction episode of Big Brother airs tonight on CBS. HOH Porsche was forced to put up two of her own alliance members after opening up the Pandora box and unleashing the pairs twist back on the house. Up for eviction are Shelly and Adam. It appears Shelly will be the one getting the boot unless she is able to pull off a last minute miracle. The episode airs tonight at 9/8c.

TELL US – THOUGHTS ON JEFF AND DANIELLE’S INTERVIEWS? WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE GO HOME TONIGHT?

Days after Jeff Schroeder’s not so surprising eviction in the Big Brother 13 house, it appears some fans are still very outraged.

According to TMZ, some deranged fans have decided to start sending death threats to the family of Shelly Moore. While Shelly wasn’t the one who nominated fan favorite Jeff or ultimately voted him out after the tie, she did betray her alliance with Big Jeff by voting for him.

Sources close to Shelly reveal her family has received multiple phone calls from people threatening violence and even making threats against her 8-year-old daughter. Disgusting.

The threats are not ending with Shelly’s family as her employer has also been receiving harassing phone calls from fans demanding they fire her because of the way she voted on the show.

Shelly’s family is reportedly taking the threats very seriously and are preparing to get the FBI involved. Good. Now I’m no fan of Sneaky Snake Shelly but threatening her family or anyone for that matter is beyond deranged.

Big Brother’s Executive Producer Allison Grodner also spoke out via twitter to condemn the threats: “No matter how much you dislike an HG, this is wrong! True BB fans do not try to ruin lives. Please stop!”

TELL US – THOUGHTS ON THIS NEWS? IS SHELLY YOUR LEAST FAVORITE BB HG?

After months of anticipation, the best reality show on the planet Big Brother returns tonight with its 13th season!

And as announced by CBS, the twist this year all has to do with dynamic duos! In what is being dubbed the summer of “Double Trouble,” 6 past Houseguests will return to join the eight new cast members (pictured above) this season.

While CBS won’t officially reveal who those returning HGs are until tonight, a leak from a BB insider earlier this week stated it would be Jeff and Jordan, Brendon and Rachel, plus Dani and Evel Dick.

This season the show will air on Thursdays at 9/8c and Sundays & Wednesdays at 8/7c. The first live eviction show will air next Thursday. Following tonight’s premiere, the live feeds will go live at 1:00am eastern. You can CLICK HERE to get a free trial!

Below is a video featuring interviews with the new HGs! Big Brother 13 premieres tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

TELL US – ARE YOU AS EXCITED AS WE ARE? THOUGHTS ON THE PREMIERE & NEW HGs BASED ON THE VIDEO INTERVIEWS?

Ready or not, the new season of Big Brother is set to premiere next week on July 7th!

And today, CBS announced the names of the cast members, albeit only 8 of the cast members. The reason? Well it all has to do with this season’s twist.

The 13th season of Big Brother is being dubbed “Double Trouble” and will feature the return of some of the series’ most dynamic twosomes, playing alongside the eight brand-new Houseguests. It seems the houseguests will play as teams of two.

However, the identities of the returning veterans won’t be released until next Thursday’s premiere. CBS’s website however gives us a hint as to who might be returning when it asks fans to vote on who they think should return. The options? Brendon & Rachel, Dr. Will & Mike “Boogie,” Jessie & Natalie (Nooooooo!), Evil Dick & Daniele, Jeff & Jordan, and Hayden & Enzo.

Please CBS, no more Jessie and Natalie! So basically this season will be some all-stars mixed in with some new cast members. Oddly enough, the last and only all-star season was season 7. So is this CBS’s way of bringing back the all star game? Or will next season (season 14) bring back an entire all-star cast? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

In the meantime, photos and bios of the new 8 cast members are below! You can also sign up below for your Big Brother Live Feeds!
