'Big Brother 13': Guess who's back? Well done, America

So "Big Brother 13" HOH Kalia and her ally Daniele appear to have made a deal with Jeff, Jordan and Rachel - will it pan out for them, or bite them in the butt? And Lawon has offered himself up as a pawn because he's sure the twist will put him back in the game with a special power. Oh, Lawon.
But before we get to the twist ...
Post-POV Ceremony
Lawon is going crazy, probably because he's so excited about actually getting some screentime this season. Jeff DRs that Kalia nominated one of her own people because either she's stupid or "she's so intelligent that [he] can't figure out what's going on." Oh, Jeff. Don't toss us those softballs, dude.
But Lawon is acting mad about being put up, even though everybody knows he put himself up as a pawn. He DRs, "Get ready for the performance of a lifetime." Um, don't sit by the phone and wait for the Academy to call, dude.
He's not fooling anyone.
Meanwhile, Daniele and Kalia make a deal with Rachel, who says she's targeting floaters and won't target them if they keep her safe. But Rachel doesn't even have to deal, she's got the votes.
But Shelly the Sneak (I mean that as a compliment, she's so sneaky) goes to Daniele and reveals that Rachel spilled the beans about her deal with Kalia and Daniele, which is the one thing Daniele asked Rachel not to do.
There's some other stuff - Julie talks to the houseguests, there's a Matt and Ragan segment, blah blah blah. Get to the twist and the new HOH!
The Vote
Everyone votes to evict Lawon, but Julie tells him to stay put. She reveals he'll be competing to come back against whomever won the vote. The four evictees are in the backyard and the houseguest voted to compete ... Brendon.
[profanity-laden tirade]
Seriously, are you kidding me with this? Who votes for these things?! CBS totally rigged this, there's no way. Every poll I saw everywhere online had Cassi or Dominic on top. Ughhhhh.
The Competition
The challenge is physical (of course it is). Balls are dropped into the backyard (150 of them). Each ball has a houseguest's name on it. The goal is to get a complete set of the 14 houseguests into the hole at the top of a ramp in the fastest time. BUT - there is only room for 14 balls, so you can't double up. The person with the most complete set of houseguests at 3 minutes wins.
Yeah, this doesn't favor Brendon at all. I am disgusted. From the sidelines, Rachel is shouting out what Brendon needs! That is REALLY unfair, are you kidding?! The houseguests should have to sit there quietly, that is crap. Make this fair!
So of course Brendon wins, by 14-6. Rachel jumps into his arms as I try not to vomit.
This should be an interesting week in the house, to say the least, so sign up for the live feeds
No word on the HOH competition, guys. We'll keep you posted as we find out.

CBS TOTALLY RIGGED THE VOTING!!!!!
I am livid. Absolutely, disgustingly livid. There is NO WAY America would have voted Brendon back in. If for no other reason then to keep Rachel miserable. Danielle and Kalia screwed up big time. It would have been highly entertaining to see Rachel get evicted, then have to battle Brendon to stay in the house. And I'm sure he would have thrown it for her (he probably would have gotten the balls for her himself)...But I'm sorry...I just can't believe America would put that jackass back in the game.
EVERY poll I saw had Brendon ahead 2 to one over Cassi and Dom.
And Keith wasn't even in the game.
So there were A LOT BB fans voting for Brendon.
Sorry to burst your bubble if you're not a Brendon fan,but don't shoot the messenger.
I saw at least 3 polls with Brendon ahead by a sizable amount.
I was suprised that BB allowed the other HG's to help Lawon & Brendon with the Comp.
Rachel was the loudest but Lawon was getting help from more than one HG too.
Sorry...nothing anyone can say will convince me that this was the real vote. I didn't have any real problem with Brendon....but he really got on my nerves by never calling Rachel by her name...he always refers to her as "my fiancee", like she was some kind of object then person. "Don't talk to my fiancee like that!" "My fiancee is so beautiful!" "My fiancee...blah blah blah blah..." With that and Rachels constant crying...UGH! I'm glad they are together though. Because it means that they won't ruin someone elses lives by being involved with them.
as much as i hate it, i was really voting for rachel to stay and brenden to come back, kinda saw it comming.
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. i voted for brandon
And wouldn't it be hysterical if Danielle wins HOH this week and Brendon and Rachel go right back up on the block? Though if I were there and won HOH, I would put up Brendon and Jeff, and let them know, that if they win the POV then their "partner" would go up if they used it. We all know that Brendon would sacrifice himself to keep Rachel safe...but would Jeff do the same for Jordan? Hmm....either way, I hope Dani gets HOH.
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Who votes, you ask? Well, I voted for Brendon. And everyone I know voted for Brendon. And I did not vote in any of those online polls. And actually, last Thurday I correctly predicted to my friends nearly everything that would happen tonight. What I was off about was Rachel staying in the house and Lawon going. But then, who could have predicted he would make such a dumb*ss decision and that Kalia would be insane enough to let him. But I said to everyone last week that I didn't understand why Kalia and Dani were so happy when Kalia won HOH because invariably whenever there's the expectation that someone will return to the game, that week's HOH is a complete waste for the person who is HOH. And this time was absolutely no exception. And I LOVE the way things have turned out tonight, so far!
