Rachel Reilly Wins Big Brother!
Posted on Sep 15, 2011 @ 06:15AM
Rachel Reilly won the 13th season of CBS reality show Big Brother Wednesday night, besting finalist Porsche Briggs to claim the $500,000 grand prize.
Four members of the six-person jury picked Reilly, 26-year-old waitress from Los Angeles over Briggs, a 23-year-old Miami stunner.
Reilly had a little voting help from her fiancé Brendon Villegas, who she met with during the show's 12th season. Villegas joked it was "a very hard decision" to vote for the red-headed beauty.

Daniele Donato, another returning player, was not a fan of Reilly's cutthroat tactics that helped her secure the win, telling Reilly she was fortunate the show was "not a personality contest."
Briggs claimed $50,000 for second place, while Jeff Schroeder took home the show's America's Player prize, winning $25,000.
In related news, the network Wednesday announced the show was renewed for a 14th season, set to air next summer.

The newbees should have kept their friends close and Rachel even closer. Good game Rachel, the Ultimate Big Brother Player in the seasons history.

Haters, BB brought in some competion for the newbee's, who I felt lacked game, boring players. Rachel gave the newbees a run for their money.

Rachel deserved this win the most! Thank God lazy player "sit in the background & never talk game" Porsche didn't win. Adam's vote for non game player Porsche was a big disappointment. So much for him respecting the game.

I didn't like Rachel much in her first season, but she grew on me this year. I'm glad she won. She deserved it. I just hope she and Brendon don't get married. Talk about a codependent couple. Ugggh.

This season sucked so badly. I stopped watching after production brought back Brendan. Seriously, could you find a group of less talented "strategists?" Pathetic. I rewatched Big Brother 7 this summer instead. Now THAT was a cast.

"Pathetic" is re-watching an old season of Big Brother. LOL.

BB13 had the best ratings ever this year, She won half the comps and should have won. Even the majority of the die hard fans on the forums wanted her to win. Stop being haters, Jealous much?

ITA CL this whole season was fixed and it is the last time I watch this show. Be warned she is going to be in some Hollywood Brides show on TLC so there is something else to avoid.

SO agree! Shelly, who supposedly hates Rachel, voted for her?? The HOHs were tailor made for Rachel when Rachel needed to win. Julie ended the show saying "see you next summer." Nope not me. I'm done!

Shelly is a moron. She needs to get to act together and stop trying to kiss everyone's ass, esp Jeff and Jordan's. She looks like a tranny and behaves like a man. If it looks like a dog, and walks a like a dog....
