While on the bus to The Vegas bash.. the Bus pulled over so that people can go to the bathroom and ANdrew Gordon Jumped into the drivers seat and hijacked the bus as a joke . the bus driver was pissed off and he called the sherrif's and Andrew was kicked off the bus almsot arrested and was left behind.
Andrew picked up a rental and then got a flight to las vegas where they are . Upon arrival Andrew was banned from the bash. Not sure if that was per the bash co-ordinator or the vegas police

'BIG BROTHER' WINNER RACHEL From One Reality Show TO ANOTHER?
"Big Brother" winner Rachel Reilly and her fiance Brendon Villegas are going Hollywood, literally -- we're told Rachel plans on moving to Los Angeles and pitching her upcoming nuptials as a possible reality show.
Turns out ... when Rachel told our photog on Thursday night that she was getting married THIS weekend, well ... that was just the alcohol talking. Sources close to Rachel tell TMZ they have no plans on a quickie wedding, but they do want to settle down in Los Angeles (Brendon is currently enrolled in grad school at UCLA).
We're told Rachel is planning to use her "BB" winnings to buy a condo in town, look for opportunities in the entertainment biz, and plan her wedding.
And according to our sources, "planning her wedding" entails pitching it as a reality show to various production companies and networks in hopes of having it all paid for.
She's a shrewd player, all right.

Exclusive: Big Brother Champ Rachel Reilly Returns to The Bold and the Beautiful
She's the half-million-dollar waitress! Big Brother 13 winner Rachel Reilly will appear on The Bold and the Beautiful's Halloween episodes (October 28 and 31) in a role she's played eight times previously — a drink-server named Rachel at the show's tropical hangout Bikini Beach. Look for her in scenes with bad apple Amber Moore (Adrienne Frantz).
The raucous, love-to-hate-her redhead, who formerly served cocktails at the Las Vegas hot spot Aria, will be joined on the CBS soap by her fiancé and Big Brother partner Brendon Villegas. A physicist who is currently pursuing a PhD at UCLA, Villegas plays the role of the bartender at Bikini Beach (named Brendon, natch!). The lovebirds made their B&B debut in October 2010 and were last seen on the soap in April.
After winning the top prize on Big Brother September 14, Reilly told TMZ she and Villegas were planning to get married in a quickie Vegas ceremony this past weekend. But it appears that didn't happen. Now there are rumors Reilly is shopping the wedding as a reality show!

Some quickie thoughts, Dick looks really good in the Cassi video, he looked bad in the house. Jesse and Michelle, ACK... PTSD!! Andrew is a ditz, he was a ditz in the house and he hasn't changed a bit. :lol:

And America's Player......
Seriously, he was America's Favorite with that approach??? Wow! So what kept him from being evicted early on in the game?
-
Which in my opinion is right........ED is the one who took her as far as she got that first year...people want to talk about Rachel s crying being annoying....what did Dani do the entire summer that first time? Cry cry cry......and when ED got her to final three what did she do? Cry cause she was there with him....after he did all the work!!
-
I always think of her curled up in bed facing the wall crying when I think of that season.
-
Couldn't stand Dani the first time around and I thought she was much worse this season. Her mean girl attitude really came out so much more.
-
I guess Im the only one that liked Dani this season and her season... :duno: I re-watched her season and she really kicked butt in all the comps (five povs) and proved she deserved to win and the only reason people switched was because of Eric and his comment about "riding her dads coattails" which was just not the case and Ed played the aggressive personal approach (3 HOH's and 1 pov to save himself) while Dani played the competitor and at times was :meow: but who wouldn't be in that situation with their estranged dad...It got them both to the end, How it turned out to me was completely emotional and based off that last veto comp
-
I always think of her curled up in bed facing the wall crying when I think of that season.
i always think of ED trying to talk to her...trying to work on their relationship, but she would have none of it

The above comments about ED are interesting and make me wonder how the play of the game and outcome this summer would have been quite different had ED been back in the mix.

What Being The Black Girl On “Big Brother” Taught Me About “Post-Racial” America
By: Kalia Lynne
If someone told me a year ago, I would be a houseguest on CBS’s summer hit television show, Big Brother, I would have guffawed in their face. Repeatedly. For about an hour. Yet, true to form, I moved to Hollywood, was “discovered” at a bar, and a few months (and many casting interviews later), I received my key to the Big Brother house.
Big Brother, for those living under a large boulder with the Geico cave man, is a nationally televised show where 14 houseguests move into a large house and compete in random competitions for the shot at winning $500,000.
Who’s Running Black Hollywood?
I knew walking into the house, that’d I’d most likely be the only cast mate of color as Big Brother has certain “types” they cast each year including the gay, the jock, the bimbo, the old guy/gal, and of course, the black person. I’ve spent most of my life as one of a few, if not the only, as I grew up in a predominately Caucasian neighborhood. It was normal for me to get questions about my curly hair or my small nose or lack of an ass. People question what they don’t understand and no matter how ridiculous the question, I was the smiling black girl ready with the answer, an “oh, sure you can touch my hair,” or a “nope, I’m not biracial, we just come in different shapes and sizes.” Pardon me if I spent my whole life answering these questions that by the time I got on Big Brother, I was a bit fatigued.
Yet, sure enough, I was the one fielding all the questions again. I wasn’t all that surprised to hear certain houseguests make comments about how well I spoke, how I must’ve been trained in something to speak so well. The guy who always called me “Sister Act” didn’t faze me. I barely flinched when a certain girl spent the entire season asking me endless facts about my hair. This was normal in my world–being labeled the diva in the house despite the flamboyant gay guy who had a different pair of sunglasses for everyday of the week or the girl who had more cosmetics and skin cleansers than the make up counters of Bloomingdales, Macy’s, and Nordstrom combined. Yup, I was the high maintenance one somehow. But again, I expected all of this. It’s par for the course in our modern, “post-racism” society. What I wasn’t prepared for was what happened after the show wrapped.
Kandi On The Image Of Black Women: “You’re Not Trying To Represent For A Whole Race”
Cast mates are warned not to read the blogs, not to check the fan sites as there are crazily obsessed fans who have nothing but negativity to spout, hidden safely behind their computer screens. I didn’t bother checking. Frankly, I didn’t give a damn what they had to say, but the day after the finale, I signed back into life and there it all was: Facebook pages dedicated to how much America hated me, how much I (supposedly) ate, how fat I was (I wear a solid 8 or 10 and get no complaints from those who, ahem, matter), how arrogant I was as one person scrawled on my Facebook page, “I hate black people who think they’re better than everyone.” Apparently, all you need to do is spend your summer on a reality show to find out how ignorant much of the country still is. I was labeled Kalia Kong and Cowlia. I was called Uncle Tom and n*gger left and right on my twitter account. My anonymous blog was leaked and I was called all kinds of terrible names in the comments section. While this may all sound like the usual for a foray into the wacky reality world, it is not.
Comparatively, I sat and watched as some of my closest friends from the show (not black), got nothing but love mail, fan sites dedicated to how awesome they were, presents, comments about how great they played the game (even if they barely batted an eyelash all summer). While I was getting lashed for making decisions and standing up for myself, they were being coddled for dealing with arrogant old me all summer. I won’t lie either, it got to me briefly. I cried on the phone to my mother continually saying, “I am a good person! I don’t deserve this just because I went on a TV show! They have no idea how hard it was!” And they don’t. They have no idea what a pressure cooker it was, how tears squirt from your eyes at the slightest infraction because of the stress, how everyone who matters to you is scratched from your existence as if they were never there, how you can’t trust anyone, not even yourself, how you have cameras on you 24/7-while you sleep, eat, talk, drink, pick your nose, shower and while you did sign up for this, you did not sign up for the ridicule and pure ignorance that comes from being the lone black key on a grand piano full of ivory white ones.

Many decided they hated me as soon as they saw my little brown face popped up on the opening credits. It’s pretty normal for minorities to have to work even harder to jump over a bar that’s placed too high anyway.
Make no mistake, though, that moment lasted as briefly as my time in the “Big Brother” house did in the grand scheme of life. What many of those haters failed to remember about strong black women is that we may trip, we may fall, but we never stay down. From years of carrying a nation, we know a thing or two about dusting ourselves off, pushing our shoulders back, holding our heads high and walking back into the fire.
So, I’m sorry America, sorry I was raised by strong parents in a happy home who told me on a regular basis I could do or be anything I wanted. Sorry, I was educated in the best schools and I wasn’t the first generation of my family to earn a college degree. Sorry, I don’t fit your stereotype of how a black person is supposed to act on national television, that I didn’t just “Yessuh, Massuh” my way right out the house, shuckin’ and jivin’ my way to Julie Chen. I learned early on that you should worry when people aren’t talking about you, even when they’re hating, so keep it coming and be forewarned, if I’m asked back for All-Stars, you’ll get the gift of having to deal with me all over again.
