'Big Brother 13's' Brendon: Rachel is the strongest player in the house
Brendon Villegas was the first veteran evicted from the "Big Brother 13" house. He tells Zap2it in his exit interview that he thinks this second go-round on "Big Brother" strengthened his relationship with Rachel and that Rachel will fight hard without him.Are you glad you did "Big Brother" again?
"Yeah, of course. It is the chance of a lifetime to come back once more and to get to spend time in the house with Rachel in the place where we first met."
Do you think it put too much of a strain on your relationship with Rachel?
"No, I think it did exactly what it did last year and has only made our relationship grow stronger and we've realize how well we work together even during times of stress and strain."
Do you think your decision to keep Rachel in the game will pan out, or is she too emotional to keep her head on straight and play without you?
"I absolutely do because whether or not she make it to the finish, I know she is going to fight very hard and it will help her prove it to herself that she can do it without me."
Is there anything you would differently about your game play?
"I have wondered if Rachel and I hadn't won an HOH in week one or week three, and won the POV to save ourselves if we might have been a little less of a target in the game."
Who do you think is the strongest player right now in the house?
"I think its Rachel, hands down."
Who is the weakest player?
"Kalia."
Do you think the newbies have a chance against the Vets with you gone now?
I absolutely do just for the fact that Daniele is fighting against the vets and controlling the newbies.
Any messages to your fans?
"Thank you for all of the support this year and last year. Rachel and I wouldn't be as strong if we didn't know that people out there are supporting us as we are fighting in the house."

Zap2it Elite Sheet Must Reads from the Web's In-Crowd



Brendon and Rachel are great players. I like and appreciate both. But I warn you, Big Brother. If you lose Brenchel, you lose entertainment and gain a snoozefest. Brenchel was the only thing keeping the show interesting. No one else will say or do something crazy. Everybody knows that--even the ones who don't like Brenchel. The show will be boring without them.
If Rachel and Brenden Leave the show it will suck. Shelly is so fake playing both sides and in love w/Jeff and Jorden. It's a game why don't people man up. Danielle is a ***** and goes against everybody on her team such bad game player. I want her out......
Brendon and Rachel have the worse "social" game in BB history. They think it's all about physical competition. That's is their downfall. Worst players in BB this season.....and last.
Of course he's going to say Rachel is the strongest player left. I find it amusing that he says Kalia is the weakest player. He would be shocked if he only knew who the new HOH was.
I loathe Brenchel but find it fun to root against them. It might be slightly boring if she is booted this week. The newbies left have utterly grating personalities. Shelly is a horror show, a deep-friend, crispy Geena Davis. Adam is a poser. And Lewon...is he still in the house? As I did in their respective seasons, I'll cheer on Jeff, Jordan and Danielle, but I'm secretly hoping, against my better judgment and my sanity, that Rachel sticks around for a few more weeks. I'd hate to see her win but the house would be SO boring if she left. She's a miserable freak show who I love to hate.
Grrrrrrr thunb down on big brother .Do you people really want to see Rachel crying Brendon babying her the rest of the season?I love , a love stories as good as the next person but this one is kinded weird . One minute Brendon fussing at Rachel making her cry next he babying her again Whats with that shirt I love my hubby? Rachel we all know you have Brendon nobody wants him. You told us a hundred times his your man.Nobody wants to come between you and your man ..........Big Brother lets get so fireworks going .Its kinden a boring, The best show they had was when Danielle won HOH. I like people who take risk. Good job Danielle keep up the good work. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND REMEMBER IT IS JUST A GAME.Money is money friends are forever.
