Big Brother Rewind: Rumors, prizes and zombies

There’s a new rift in the house, this time between Shelly and Rachel. It all has to do with the gossip Porshe spilled. Rachel said that Shelly asked her and Brendon for a final three deal. Shelly denies it vehemently. Well, “Big Brother” wants everyone to remember, so we keep getting flashbacks to Shelly making that proposal to Brenchel. Guess she forgot.

Shelly’s going to everyone complaining and crying about how Rachel’s a big liar and none of what she said is true. She wants to make sure everything’s all right between her and her closest allies, Jeff and Jordan. The conversation came during a smoking session outside that was part bitter tirade, part tearful denial. Frankly, during this scene, I was not listening to her prattle on as I was trying to figure out what Jordan was eating. Chips or an apple? Sandwich or a wrap? Whatever it was, it looked pretty good.

With Adam and Shelly nominated this week, Daniele’s fine with keeping the nominations the same. But, she wants to also have the option to backdoor Brendon.

For the first time, Brendon and Rachel don’t have a chance to play in the veto. It’s a farm-themed cornhole, or bags, competition this time. But there’s also a chance to win prizes or punishments as the houseguests get eliminated. In the end, Jeff threw the veto, allowing Adam to win. Shelly won 24 hours of solitary confinement with a call from home. Jordan won a “humilitard” described as the most humiliating unitard to be worn in the “Big Brother” house to date. Kalia won a Caribbean vacation. Daniele won the chance to play in next week’s veto competition. Jeff won $5,000, his second monetary prize this season.

Jordan originally had the confinement and call from home, but gave it up so Shelly would be able to talk to her family. It’s really so sweet. But what she ended up with was a green unitard that said in pink “I’m with stupid” with an arrow pointing to her face on the front and kick me on the back. There was also a dunce beanie on her head and a pink tutu. If it had been anyone else, I doubt they would have looked so adorable and worn it with as little complaint as Jordan did.
