Read on for her thoughts on who was the biggest floater this season, what happened with those Jury votes, and if we’ve seen the last of her in the Big Brother house.

Rachel Reilly – I cannot believe this happened! I am freaking out!

Big Brother Network – Congratulations, you deserve it.

Rachel – Thank you. It’s a dream come true my gosh I just can’t believe it.

BBN – What does this mean for you and Brendon?

Rachel – Oh my gosh we’re going to have a dream wedding. What’s funny is last summer I met my fiancé on Big Brother and this summer I won Big Brother.

BBN – Do you think you’ll be having a reality tv wedding?

Rachel – No but that would be hilarious. It would be awesome.

BBN – After Brendon left you completely changed your strategy. It was like two different people. What happened?

Rachel – I saw that Brendon got evicted and then Jeff was getting evicted and I said I was not going down without a fight. I had to fight but I really had to work on my social game. I think I had to be a gracious winner and start branching out to work on my social game. After Brendon left the second time I knew I had to change my game or I would have been evicted and I was not about to get evicted.

BBN – You and Jordan became very close after Brendon and Jeff were evicted. Do you think the two of you will keep in touch?

Rachel – Jordan is such an amazing woman. She and I really bonded and our friendship really blossomed after Brendon and Jeff left and we were there together, fighting for each other. Every competition Jordan and I went into after they left we were like ok this is us, it’s do or die and if we don’t win, one of us is going home. Jordan helped me so much with my social game. I needed her just as much as she needed me. I was able to win some competitions and she was there for me as a shoulder to lean on and helped me with everything in general. It’s so great to be able to play the game with one of your friends and to really have an ally in the house. I love Jordan. I am so grateful for her.

BBN – Who in your opinion was the bigger floater, Jordan or Adam?

Rachel – Jordan is not a floater. I don’t think she was a floater at all. We had an alliance from the beginning of the summer and she stuck to it. She never switched over sides. Bless her heart, she might not be the most competitive girl in the world but she’s such an amazing person and she had the best social game in the entire game. I think Jordan plays the game of Big Brother totally different than any other houseguest and she almost made it to the final three again and she would have won if she was sitting in that final two chair. Adam, yeah he was a floater. He needed a boat or a cruise ship. That’s how big of a floater he was. It was horrible.

BBN – Adam promised you his vote in the end. Why do you think he changed and gave it to Porsche?

Rachel – I was shocked. He promised me his vote. He said even if you evict me, if you earn it and win the final HoH then I will vote for you because I will vote for whoever deserves it and then he voted for Porsche. He was a floater. He went from one side of the house to whoever was in power. I don’t know that he really tried that hard in competitions. He gave up a lot of times. I was shocked when he didn’t vote for me. It hurt because I thought he of all people, who said he was a superfan of the show, he was so ready to jump ship because he got upset with me. It was a very unfortunate situation. I thought he was going to be the swing vote.

BBN – Why did you take Porsche over Adam to the final two?

Rachel – It was a really risky decision to make. I realized it after the fact of how risky it really was. I thought if I had taken Adam I would have won hands down, I don’t think he would have gotten any votes. With Porsche I thought it would be a 3-3 vote with Adam as the tie breaker. I thought a few things. One Porsche deserved it in the end. She stepped up her game. She won the veto that brought her to the final three. She brought me to the final three and I made that promise with her and I wanted to honor it. I had a lot of confidence in my game play and I thought the jury would respect that.

BBN – Have you and Daniele made amends?

Rachel – I think that Daniele and I definitely have the possibility to make amends. I mean look at Ragan and I, we’re best friends and he’s going to be in my wedding. I think that Daniele and I have a possibility for that. We were friends in the beginning before she turned on us. I think that’s what sparks the biggest enemies in the game, are the people you actually care about. It comes through when you have a friendship and it’s a genuine friendship and you care about someone and then they turn on you and you’re now enemies in the game. It’s what sparks the biggest nemesis in the game because you did care about them and now you can’t stand them.

BBN – Which season’s cast did you like the most?

Rachel – I actually prefer season 13 because I had allies in the game. It wasn’t just Brendon and I against the entire house like last summer where I didn’t have any friends in the game. This summer I had an alliance. I had friends in the game. You know even though Porsche and I had a really rocky friendship, in the end I took her from 5 to 4. She took me from 4 to 3 and I took her from 3 to two. I think it was a totally different game for me. I had to really work on a social game and making deals with people and I think me sticking with my deals is what helped me through the game. I can’t say enough good things about our cast. It was an amazing summer.

BBN – Do you have any plans on going back to college?

Rachel – Yes I want to. I definitely want to complete my master’s, finish it and work on it. Brendon will finish his PHD at UCLA so maybe I can go there too.

BBN – What are your immediate plans now that the game is over?

Rachel – Plan my wedding, my future with Brendon. We are thinking about putting a down payment on a house close to UCLA. We will be there for five years guaranteed. So we’re thinking hey if we’re going to be there for five years let’s invest that money into a home and start a future and in the coming years start a family.

BBN – Will you play again for a third time?

Rachel – Big Brother has been so good to me I guess I would have to.

Today Porsche sat down with us to discuss her game play, the choices she made this season, and what she has coming up next in life. Read on to find out who she would have taken to the Final 2, how she would have voted from the Jury, and even why she decided to take Rachel over Jordan further in the game.

Big Brother Network: Would you have kept the deal and taken Rachel if you won Round 3?

Porsche Briggs: I know many people are not excited about this answer, but yes, I would have kept my deal with Rachel. Her and I worked together very well. We had each other’s back. Throughout the game we definitely had a couple of hiccups, but at the end we got back together and I would have kept my deal with her.

BBN: If Rachel had taken Adam to the Final 2, how would you have voted?

Porsche Briggs: I probably would not have. Breaking a deal with someone is big in this game. If she had not taken me I probably would not have given her a vote.

BBN: What made you decide to take Rachel over Jordan to the Final 3?

Porsche Briggs: Jordan won the competition two years ago. It wasn’t fair when you see people who were competing so hard and trying to win this season to fight against someone who won one competition and a luxury then gets to win again. That’s not fair.

I also knew that Jordan and Adam had a Final 2 deal. I didn’t want to have to compete with Jordan to have Adam take me to the Final 2. Jordan would have taken Adam. Adam would have taken Jordan. I didn’t want to have that happen, so making a deal with Rachel was probably the best idea.

BBN: Coming just 1 vote shy of the win, which Juror do you think was the swing against you and why did they vote against you?

Porsche Briggs: Shelly was definitely the swing vote. In her pre [season] interviews she was really kind of obsessive with Jeff and Jordan. She really liked them as people and obviously didn’t want them to be mad at her. She sees them as people that are going to be friends with her on the outside. Maybe by sending Jordan to the Jury it cost me in the end, but it’s what had to be done at the time. I know Jordan had a big influence on Shelly’s decision for voting and I think Shelly’s definitely a follower in the game and didn’t show to be a leader at any point. I think she definitely took Jordan’s lead on this and voted for Rachel.

BBN: Adam’s vote surprised a lot of viewers. What do you think motivated his vote for you?

Porsche Briggs: Adam and I played the game a lot from the beginning. From Week 2 we were in cohoots with each other. I knew he was going to vote for me. He didn’t want Rachel to have the money. I knew he didn’t like the way she talked about certain things. I knew he was going to vote for me and I really had a strong feeling about that.

BBN: Would you really have traded your Golden Key to be at risk but able to compete?

Porsche Briggs: At this point, I don’t think I would have done anything differently in the game. Coming in to this competition, especially playing with a bunch of veterans, you were in fear of your life every week. Everyone was a target, especially if you weren’t on their side. Having a Golden Key probably helped me out in the long run. People like Jeff and Brendon maybe thought I wasn’t there to play the game, but anyone who gets on the show is obviously there to play the game. I took the blessing of the Key and played a social game, relaxed a little bit, tried not to make any waves, and let other people get at each other’s throats a little bit. Then by the time I could play I was ready.

BBN: What made you change sides to Daniele & Kalia after you seemed to start the game with Rachel?

Porsche Briggs: Rachel’s reaction to Brendon leaving was definitely a big factor in that. I do think that Rachel needed to be playing along side someone. I tried to remind her that last season she wasn’t there playing as a duo. She just didn’t seem to take Brendon leaving very well. Brendon was also a big factor in me teaming up with Rachel and Brendon. After he left, Rachel didn’t have much of a choice but to team up with Jeff and Jordan. At that time Jeff and Jordan didn’t really like me. They wanted me to make things easier for them like throw the knock-out competition. I was trying to play as fair a game as I could and didn’t want to be playing under any dictatorship.

BBN: What was your best move of the season?

Porsche Briggs: My best move of the season was winning my first Veto. Winning when it really counted. Day 55 [Fast Forward show] was a huge day for us. I had talked a lot about how to play the game with Daniele and Kalia. Daniele would always tell me, “you’ve got to have numbers, you’ve got to play with numbers. When one of us leaves this week you’ve got to get Shelly.” I knew at that point if I had Shelly’s back by voting for Daniele whether it worked or not with keeping Shelly in the game that would at least get me Shelly’s trust for a little while. It got me her trust long enough to get her to vote against Jeff and that put him out of the house as well.

BBN: What was your biggest mistake of the season?

Porsche Briggs: The biggest mistake I probably made in this game was opening Pandora’s Box. I was definitely in a cushy spot that week whether or not I trusted my entire team. Who knows what would have happened. Maybe they still would have voted out a Newbie. I just don’t know what would have happened. It was definitely a comfortable Friday before I opened Pandora’s Box.

BBN: Time travel back to the first night in the house. Would you still partner with Keith? If not, who would you have picked?

Porsche Briggs: Before we even knew there were duos, Keith and I were discussing working together as we walked in and looked around the house. I mentioned we should work together. Then he picked me to be his partner. I knew that was a terrible idea because a secret partner working together is much better than one out in the open. That kinda hindered me with that. I wish we had stayed separate and had been able to play against each other to get our other partner’s out. Kalia and I were probably going to be partner’s if not me and Keith.

BBN: What was your favorite moment from this season?

Porsche Briggs: The competitions. I would love to say “hanging out with these people” and getting to know them was awesome. It was. It was fun. Getting to play the competitions in Big Brother were just incredible and having so much freedom by not having a cell phone or Internet or news from the outside makes you really get back to basic communication. It was a lot of fun. You were excited when you won. Winning felt more fun because it was the big event of the week. Competing in the different competitions and pushing myself, seeing how well I could do.

BBN: Which HG are you most likely to stay in contact with after the show?

Porsche Briggs: Most likely Rachel, Adam, and Dani. Probably in that order. Maybe a little mix-up.

BBN: If you could come back for another season, would you?

Porsche Briggs: Oh absolutely. Big Brother is normally a once in a lifetime opportunity. I’ve already played with people having their second chance at it. I know CBS saw something in me where they thought, “hey, you’re one of eight people who could play with these all-stars and dynamic duos.” We had more winners in our season than All-Stars [Big Brother 7] did. I would be more than ready for that challenge to come back.

BBN: What are you most looking forward to now that you’re out of the BB13 house?

Porsche Briggs: My family all came out to see me so I’m really looking forward to talking to them more, hearing their feedback on the show, things they saw as opposed to things I lived. Finding out what’s going on in the world.

BBN: What’s next for you? What’s out there on the horizon?

Porsche Briggs: I definitely enjoy my job being a cocktail waitress and at the age I am, 23 and the youngest in the house, that kind of job is acceptable. I was always interested in acting and hosting the competitions really ignited a passion in me for being able to host things, read lines, and take on different personas. I think I’m going to do something around those lines in L.A. for awhile.

• Big Brother 13: Week 1 Tuesday Update – Who Has The Votes
• Big Brother 13 Cast: Houseguests Revealed
• Big Brother 13 Live Feed Goes Poolside

Chloe:  Why did you vote for Porsche to win? 

Adam: I voted for Porsche to win because I really wanted to see a new person win the game and because I felt that we had overcome so much to get as far as we got.  Having six houseguests who had played the game before and knew what they were doing, that were basically being our puppet masters the first few weeks, getting through all that and to be able to win down the stretch and secure our spots in the final three.  I really wanted to see a newbie win the game.  I knew my vote at that point didn’t really matter, Rachel was winning the game.

[Editor's note: This is a different story from what Adam told Evel Dick on finale night. Adam initially claimed he could see Shelly's vote when she placed it in the holder. Since he knew Rachel would win with Shelly's vote as the 4th, she didn't need his vote and so he threw Porsche a bone. Which explanation do you believe is true?]

Chloe:  What made you change your mind to play with the vets because you were with the newbies from the beginning?

Adam:  Because after week one and the newbies I was working with, that I thought I could trust, two people switched their votes and nobody at the time could figure out who and I just couldn’t trust any of them.  I talked to Jordan when she won HoH and I told her I wanted to stay at least through my fortieth birthday and Jordan wanted to make it to jury as well so she could spend the summer with Jeff and Jordan swore on her life to me and I knew she wasn’t just talking.  With the newbies, I didn’t know who to believe or who I could trust and that’s the biggest thing in the house, you cannot play the game alone, you have to trust somebody and I felt that trustingJeff and Jordan was the way to go.  When Jordan swore on her life to me, I knew that sweet girl would never swear on her life and then backstab or lie to me.

Chloe:  Were you surprised when you found out Shelly was the one who switched her vote to evict Keith?

Adam:  Honestly I was not completely surprised.  I really did think at first it was Dominic and Cassi that switched over.  I felt that they were getting a little chummy with themselves and formed a tight bond and the two of them would need to go against me and Shelly so they could get the golden keys.  I thought it was them at first but as the weeks started progressing I could definitely see it was Shelly.

Chloe:  Would you choose Dominic as a partner if you had it to do over again?

Adam:  I’m sure I would.  We did make a great team while it lasted. I think Dominic and I as a duo could have been something great in this game. Unfortunately with the twist of the golden keys and him getting too tight with Daniele after Cassi left, I think that really hurt his game.  I was trying to warn him not to get too close to her and he did not listen.  If I was given another opportunity to work with Dominic, I would take it.  This time I would grab him by the throat and pull him away from Daniele sooner.

Chloe:  Why were you so confident you would win if you made it to the final two?

Adam:  I don’t think I had any enemies on the jury.  I think everybody on the jury viewed me at one point as an ally and I would have made the argument that in a game of manipulators and liars and people who tried to make big moves that every move I made was to get myself further in the house and it worked if I got to the final two.  Some of it was physical.  Some of it was social.  Some of it was winning when I had to win so I felt like I played the complete game.  I played the mental game, social game and I played a little bit of the physical game.  I played the most well rounded game of anybody and I don’t think they could have denied me the money.

Chloe:  What was it like meeting Tori Spelling?

Adam:  That was such a thrill.  The fact that she came to the Big Brother house and knows who I am, is worth half a million dollars.  I walked out of that house saying I had one of the most amazing summers of my life. The fact that Tori Spelling knows who
Adam is? Are you kidding me?  That is beyond any dollar signs.

Chloe:  Do you have any regrets besides not making it to the final two?

Adam:  I have no regrets at all.  In life you cannot have regrets.  You have to make decisions and go along with it.  You can’t play the big brother what if game.  You can’t play the life what if game.  If you do it will just drive you insane. You have to make a decision and own up to it.  If you make a mistake, you learn from it.  So I have no regrets.  Anything I may have changed along the way may not have gotten me to the final three.  I had an opportunity to win the game and I didn’t take it and run with it.  I did not stand on the beater long enough.  I did not do the puzzle under the water in enough time.  I did not deserve to win the game.  I have no regrets because I gave it my best.  I gave it my all.

Big Brother 13 Final HoH Round 1:

• Adam falls first.
• Porsche drops next.
• Rachel wins Round 1
• HoH Round 1 – full details

Big Brother 13 Final HoH Round 2:

• Underwater competition similar in style to BB8′s Final HoH round 2
• Porsche finishes and is worried she was too slow
• Adam makes a BIG mistake by throwing away his goggles mid-comp
• Adam completes in 6:03
• Porsche completes in 3:50. Porsche wins Round 2.
• HoH Round 2 – full details

The Jury is debating. Lots of support for Rachel from Brendon, Jeff, Jordan, and, surprisingly, Kalia who says she had the hard road this game. Shelly just set Kalia off when she claimed Porsche & Kalia did nothing but play Daniele’s game. Things get very heated. Hard to tell how a few HGs will vote tonight.

Big Brother 13 Final HoH Round 3 – A/B style:

• Round 1: Both guess “B.” Both wrong.
• Round 2: Rachel gets it right. R:1 P:0
• Round 3: Both guess “A.” Both wrong.
• Round 4: Both guess “B.” Both wrong.
• Round 5: Rachel gets it right. R:2 P:0
• That’s enough. Chen closes the comp. Rachel wins!

Rachel is the Final HoH and will cast the last eviction in just a few mins.

Porsche asks Rachel to keep her as her ally and take her to the Final 2. Adam does a shoutout to metal heads first, but then he breaks in to a well-rehearsed speech against Porsche that she was a floater.

Big Brother 13 Final Eviction:

• Rachel evicts: Adam

Wow, I really thought Rachel was about to evict Porsche there for a moment. Wow. Now Rachel will move on to the Final 2 with Porsche.

Adam comes out and tells Julie Chen that Rachel made the right choice because he would have won if he got to the Final 2. The audience laughs. Aww.

Will Rachel’s record of 4 HoH comps & 2 Vetos be enough to win?

The Jury is grilling Rachel & Porsche. Jurors want to know why Rachel said and did the things she did this season. Jurors ask Porsche what she did in the game and “when did she start playing?” Not as favorable questioning for Porsche. Rachel puts in a good word with Kalia that she had to evict her because if she got to F2 she would’ve won.

I’m thinking Rachel might sweep this season. Maybe 1 off?

Before the votes are revealed, we get the original HGs coming back out. Evel Dick and Daniele agree that she ruined the Vet alliance. Daniele says she wanted to play with people she liked, not the Vets. So she threw away her game over people she knew for a few weeks? Then Dick says exactly what I said the other day: Daniele should have waited until Newbs eventually won and then made the strike at Vets. Obviously, I agree.

Big Brother 13 Jury Votes:

• Brendon: Rachel
• Daniele: Porsche
• Jeff: Rachel
• Shelly: Rachel
• Kalia: Porsche
• Jordan: Rachel
• Adam: Porsche

Rachel wins 4 – 3. I’m a little surprised by Adam and Daniele’s votes. I guess Adam really was mad at her, but after all his talk about voting for a competitor and the winner of Round 3 would weigh heavy, he votes for a HG w/ half the wins? Then after Daniele’s repeated comments during the season that Rachel should have voted for the best BB12 competitor, it was a little surprising to see this result. A Bitter Betty to the end.

Update: Adam told Evel Dick during the backyard interviews that he voted for Porsche over Rachel because he saw Shelly’s vote when she put her key in the box. He said he knew Rachel had already won so he wanted to throw her a bone. Weak.

Update 2: Daniele said in her SuperPass interview that Rachel was the biggest floater of the season. Do you agree? All other HGs said Adam for that question. Maybe Daniele is thinking of the two times she tried to get Rachel to flip on her alliance and change to her side. Both times Rachel declined. Hmm. Bitter Betty strikes again?

Big Brother 13 Winner:

• Rachel Reilly wins Big Brother 13

Congratulations to Rachel. With 6 comp wins & 5 nominations, she earned it.

Big Brother 13 America’s Choice:

• Jeff Schroeder wins $25,000 again

Is anyone surprised? Shouldn’t be. You all predicted it in our poll!

The season may end tonight, but the next is never far away. CBS has renewed Big Brother for a 14th season in 2012!

Right now the Live Feeds are still running, so enjoy them while you can. Also, don’t forget to claim your free monthly $10 of MP3s that come with your Feeds subscription. Get those by logging in to your SuperPass account and going to Member Benefits. Update: Live Feeds turned off around 9:30AM BBT, but Flashback is still available.

Again, a huge thanks to all of you. This site simply wouldn’t be possible without you. As always, it’s been a pleasure and an honor to host a season of debate and discussion. I’ll be anxiously awaiting your return for Big Brother 14! We’ll see you soon.

Update: Earlier today, after a lot of consideration last night, I posted my revisions on the a Rachel vs. Porsche Final 2 and where I thought Shelly’s vote would end up afterall. Now I feel pretty vindicated. Check out this very short clip below from the Jury House where they debated who should win. Take special notice to Shelly’s opening lines.

What’s a guy to do when he can’t get a date to the big dance? Adam Poch is facing that very issue in his last full day in the Big Brother 13 house. The first two rounds are done and he’s in a tough spot if he hopes to make it to the Final 2 and have a chance at $500,000. With nothing left to lose, Adam is making his last stand.

He lost Round 1 to Rachel and then he lost Round 2 to Porsche. Both women have told Adam they plan to take the other to the Final 2. Adam will have no option but to sit back and watch the rest of the game play out around him. Flashback to Sunday at 1:47PM BBT (Cam 3) to hear Adam muttering to himself that he lost $500K. He believes if he had made it to the F2 then he would have won it all. After initially rolling over and seemingly accepting his loss, Adam has come up with a plan.

Shortly after the first two rounds were over, Adam privately told Rachel that if he had won the second round he was going to take her to the F2. It sure sounded sincere until he told Porsche the exact same thing. When that didn’t work Adam decided to step it up.

Flashback to Sunday at 7:47PM BBT (Cam 3). Adam announces to the cameras (he’s alone) that he has “the perfect plan” to get him to the Final 2. His plan is to threaten his vote against the winner of Round 3 if she evicts him. If Rachel wins and sends him to Jury then he’ll vote for Porsche and vice versa. He’ll tell each of them this just hours before the finale show. Adam is very excited about this plan.

So much for waiting until the last minute. Adam decides to spring his big plan the very next morning when he’s alone with Porsche. Flashback to Monday at 11:21AM BBT (Cam 3). Adam is pushing Porsche to take him with her and reminds her that if she doesn’t, he’ll be the deciding vote (hinting the obvious here: that he won’t vote for her). Guess how that goes over.

Porsche is none too pleased with this tactic and tells Rachel at the first opportunity. Flashback to Monday at 12:24PM BBT (Cam 1) to hear her relay the conversation to Rachel. Porsche says she doesn’t want to hang out around him anymore. Sounds like this little plan backfired on Adam. Rachel tells Porsche it’s stupid of him to say that because they know if they (Porsche & Rachel) don’t take each other as promised then they’ll lose each other’s votes.

Time for Plan C. Flashback to Monday at 8:23PM BBT (Cam 3) to hear Adam seemingly give in and plead for America to vote for him to be America’s Favorite. Yikes. That’s going to be a longshot for Adam. Our “favorite HG” poll with nearly 30,000 votes has Jeff winning with ~35% of the vote while Adam has about 1%.

Unless I missed it, Adam hasn’t given his “take me or lose my vote” speech to Rachel like he did to Porsche. Maybe he’s still going to take a swing at his “big plan” or maybe he’s resolved to third place where it looks like he’ll most likely end up. If it’s Rachel and Porsche in the Final 2, take a look at my prediction for how the Jury votes will go down.

Do you think Adam has a chance at the Final 2?

Update: Reader KP pointed out Adam’s seemingly sudden change of heart. Flashback to this afternoon at 1:53PM BBT to hear Adam tell Porsche he doesn’t want Rachel to get a “F’ing penny.” Wow. Something really set him off. Is he messing with her head to get Porsche angry at Rachel or does he mean it? I’ll have to go back and see what she could have said to him.

Update 2: I’m not convinced Adam is really mad at Rachel as he claimed. He could be playing off Porsche’s frustration last night over Rachel saying Porsche got on the show through her connections with Janelle. Seems more like he’s playing mind games.

Update 3: Adam is back to trying to sell his vote to the highest bidder with Porsche promising to “make it worth his while” if he votes for her. Adam also goes back to thinly veiled threats that he “has friends in Jury” hinting that he’ll influence votes against her if she doesn’t take him. He is allll over the place.
