"The episode opens with the houseguests&amp;#039; reaction to Daniele&amp;#039;s decision to place Brendon and Rachel on the chopping block for eviction. Brendon says that he doesn&amp;#039;t care about being nominated as he plans to win the Power of Veto and take Rachel off the block. Daniele also admits that she&amp;#039;s ready to &amp;quot;turn the house upside down&amp;quot; and is most interested in getting Brendon out of the game. Rachel also vows that she will be &amp;quot;coming for&amp;quot; Daniele for threatening to separate her from Brendon.  Later, Jeff and Jordan come to speak to Brendon and Rachel about the predicament and Shelly joins soon after. Rachel realises that Daniele will most certainly nominate Jeff if either she or Brendon win the Power of Veto, which Jeff is also certain of. Brendon says that he is not concerned about leaving the game as he and Rachel will be married for the rest of their lives and it&amp;#039;s only a show. However, Rachel is inconsolable, telling him that she needs him in the game and doesn&amp;#039;t play as well without him. The pair are emotional at the thought of being separated and both begin to cry.  Jordan tells Jeff later that she is surprised that Jeff was not nominated for eviction alongside Brendon, though he is not as surprised. The four veterans then begin to discuss the upcoming elimination again, with Jeff admitting that he fully expects to be blindsided. That night, Daniele also tries to &amp;quot;smooth things over&amp;quot; with Rachel by telling her that her decision to nominate them was not a personal move and that she&amp;#039;s not trying to hurt Rachel. However, Rachel considers it &amp;quot;revenge&amp;quot; for last week&amp;#039;s situation with Dominic and is not receptive to the conversation.  That afternoon, players are chosen for the Power of Veto competition. Along with Rachel, Brendon and Daniele, Jeff, Adam and Porsche are also chosen at random. Lawon is chosen to host the challenge. The houseguests gather in the garden to take part in an obstacle course task which is a combination of all of their past challenges.  &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Big Brother 13&amp;#039;, Episode 11 recap: Head of Household named, nominations revealed &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Big Brother 13&amp;#039;, Episode 10 recap: Third elimination, fourth HoH competition The players will write down how long they believe it would take them to complete each task and then must complete each part in that amount of time or under. If the player takes longer than the time he or she originally guessed, they will be eliminated. The last player standing at the end of all five parts will win the Power of Veto for the week.  Rachel is the first to be eliminated after she underestimates the time it will take to complete a puzzle. Daniele is the next to go, followed by Jeff, who is unable to complete the milking task in the time he predicted. The golf portion of the challenge sends Porsche out of the running and Brendon eventually takes the Power of Veto, much to Daniele&amp;#039;s chagrin as she does not need &amp;quot;another enemy&amp;quot; in the house when Brendon takes himself or Rachel off the block and she is forced to choose a replacement nominee.  Later, Brendon tells Rachel that he is going to tell everyone in the house that he&amp;#039;s using the Power of Veto on himself, hoping to trick Daniele into making a last-minute replacement decision that could hurt her in the long run. The pair embrace, with Rachel calling him her &amp;quot;knight in shining armour&amp;quot;.   Daniele and Kalia discuss the events in the Head of Household room when Shelly comes up to ask who they&amp;#039;d like to put up. Daniele says that she hasn&amp;#039;t decided yet and later calls Shelly &amp;quot;sketchy as hell&amp;quot; and questions whether she should put her on the block as she believes that Shelly is playing all sides of the house. Daniele also proposes making a deal with Jeff and Jordan to choose Jordan as a replacement nominee in the hopes of making the house vote out either Rachel or Brendon.  That evening, Jeff and Jordan approach Daniele to discuss their plans, with Daniele asking them to try and figure out who Brendon will use the Power of Veto on. Daniele admits that she is nervous about Brendon possibly staying in the house and Jeff and Jordan try to assuage her, promising that they will have her back as long as she doesn&amp;#039;t put either of them on the block.  After, Jeff and Jordan approach Brendon about using the Power of Veto and Brendon lies, saying that he is definitely using it on himself as there&amp;#039;s no point in using it on Rachel just for Daniele to go after her in subsequent weeks. Brendon and Rachel later relay the same message to Daniele herself, and Brendon asks whether she would consider working with them and placing a &amp;quot;floater&amp;quot; on the block instead. Daniele is sceptical, saying that the situation is currently out of her hands.  Daniele apparently believes that Brendon will take himself off the block, as she admits that it makes her decision much harder as she is scared of other houseguests getting angry at her for her replacement choice. However, at the Veto meeting, Brendon announces his decision to use the Power of Veto on Rachel. Daniele names Jordan as a replacement nominee.
