is the thirteenth edition of the popular American reality show Big Brother. On July 2, 2011 eight new and six returning houseguests moved into the Big Brother House in California. The season aired from July 7, 2011 to September 14, 2011 on CBS.
The thirteenth season of Big Brother has some similarities to previous seasons, but also has some major gameplay changes. Initially, eight new houseguests were sent into the house. They were informed that they had to choose a partner and pair up. Later, six former Big Brother contestants in pre-formed duos entered the house. Each week the houseguests compete to become the Head of Household who, along with their partner, is immune from eviction. The HOH must also nominate another duo for eviction. Later in the week a Power of Veto competition is held, and then both members of the duo can be removed from threat of eviction and the HOH must name another nominee.
•Duos: Shortly after entering the house, Julie informed the eight new houseguests that they had to pick a partner to compete in the game alongside. If either person won HOH, both members would be safe from nomination. Conversely, the HOH could only nominate an entire duo. The POV, if used, would remove an entire duo, causing the HOH to have to nominate another duo. The partners were:
•Adam Poch and Dominic Briones
•Cassi Colvin and Shelly Moore
•Kalia Booker and Lawon Exum
•Keith Henderson and Porsche Briggs
•Dynamic Duos: In addition to the eight new houseguests, three duos from past seasons returned to the game and attempt to become the champion of another edition of Big Brother. The Dynamic Duos were:

Week 1
After the eight new house guests moved into the house, they were informed by Julie that they had to partner up. After quickly creating duos, they were informed more people would be joining the game. Later, three former "Dynamic Duos" returned to the house, joining the game. At the HOH competition, Rachel Reilly won, providing immunity to Brendon Villegas. Rachel nominated the duo Keith Henderson and Porsche Briggs. Just before the POV competition, Rachel was called into the diary room and was alerted that Dick Donato had left the house. Dick later revealed in an interview with People that when the producers called him into the Diary Room on Day 6, though the preliminary tests were inconclusive, he was informed that there was a possibility that he was HIV-positive; this was later found to be the case. In exchange, Daniele Donato was given the first golden key. At the POV competition, Rachel and Brendon won the POV. Both Keith Henderson and Porsche Briggs were planning on throwing the competition. Rachel chose to keep her nominations the same. At the eviction, Keith was evicted from the house. Porsche remained safe and was given a golden key.
Week 2
After the live eviction, the remaining house guests made their way to the backyard to play for HOH. Jordan Lloyd won this competition, making Jeff Schroeder immune from eviction. Rachel Reilly pushed for Jordan to nominate Cassi Colvin and Shelly Moore. Jordan struggled with who to nominate but eventually nominated Adam Poch and Dominic Briones. At the POV competition, Dominic won and removed himself and his duo partner from the chopping block, forcing Jordan to choose a new duo to nominate, Cassi Colvin and Shelly Moore. At the eviction ceremony, Cassi was voted out of the house while Shelly was given a golden key.
Week 3
At the third HOH competition, Rachel Reilly, once again, won Head of Household and gave immunity to Brendon Villegas. As each of the remaining duos came forward to Brendon and Rachel to secure their safety, Daniele Donato pushed to pit Brendon and Rachel against Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd to get one of them out of the house. Rachel and Brendon thought it was too early to break their alliance. The Have/Have-Not competition did not happen this week and was replaced with a luxury competition where the house guests were given clues to give a name to a strange man that had come into the house. All house guests were allowed to play, including those with Golden Keys. Jordan won this competition, naming the strange man correctly as David Hasselhoff. At the nomination ceremony, Rachel nominated Adam Poch and Dominic Briones. At the POV competition, Brendon and Rachel, Adam and Dominic, and Jeff and Jordan were chosen to play for POV this week. Brendon won this competition. He did not use the Veto and the nominations remained the same. Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd caught wind of Dominic and Daniele's betrayal of the Veterans alliance, causing an uproar in the house. At the eviction ceremony, Dominic was voted out of the house by a vote of 7-1. Adam was not given a golden key as the game was returned to 'Everybody for Themselves'. Everybody is back in the game.
•Jordan Lloyd, Jeff Schroeder, Kalia Booker, and Shelly Moore won an advanced screening of the new CBS series, Same Name. Jordan initially won and she chose Jeff, Kalia and Shelly to join her.
•Jeff Schroeder won $10,000 playing for HOH during 'Big Brother Slalom'.
•Adam Poch was forced to wear an elf costume for one week after 'Big Brother Slalom'.
•Jordan was forced to wear the "Humilitard" and Shelly got 24 hours of solitary confinement after the POV competition 'Big Brother Corn Toss'.
