History[]

Creation[]

On the first night of Big Brother 13 (US), the Dynamic Duos got together to form the Veterans alliance.

Dominance[]

The Veterans quickly became a dominant alliance, taking out big players from the other side of the house in, Cassi Colvin and Keith Henderson. Despite Dick Donato walking from the game, the alliance continued to become the majority alliance with help from affiliates.

Fallout[]

The Veterans alliance slowly began to fall apart after Daniele Briones often gave inside information to Dominic Briones, whom she had an alliance with. After Dominic found himself nominated alongside Adam Poch. Daniele and Dominic divided a plan to get current HOH, Rachel Reilly to turn on Jeff Schroeder and backdoor him, using the seeds Daniele had planted to convince them to turn on each other. However, after Rachel confronted Jeff and Jordan Lloyd about Daniele’s lies, a public fight occurred between Daniele and the two pairs. This caused Daniele to defect from the alliance. After Dominic was evicted, Daniele’s golden key expired and she was open for targeting. However, Daniele ruined the other alliance members plan as she won HOH. Daniele decided to target Brendon Villegas and Rachel, whom she deemed as the stronger duo. She cut a deal with Jeff and Jordan and nominated Brendon and Rachel alongside each other. After Brendon won the POV, he vetoed Rachel and Daniele nominated Jordan. Despite campaigns from Rachel and Porsche Briggs, Brendon was evicted. Once again Daniele stayed in power as her closest ally Kalia Booker won HOH. After Julie Chen-Moonves hinted that someone will return at the end of the week, Kalia grew paranoid. Originally, Kalia nominated Jeff and Rachel but after Jeff won the POV, Lawon Exum offered to be evicted, thinking he would come back with powers. Paranoid of the twist, Kalia took Lawon up on his offer and he was evicted. The Veterans seemed to be back together after Kalia made a faulty move and Brendon returned to the house. However, their celebration ended after Daniele won HOH again. This time Daniele nominated Adam Poch and Shelly Moore, with a plan to backdoor Brendon. After Adam won the POV, Daniele went through with her plan. Despite Brendon and Rachel looking to Jeff and Jordan to help save them, Jeff and Jordan had formed an secondary alliance with Adam and Shelly and saw them as more valuable and evicted Brendon.

Veterans Realign[]

Jeff was finally able to end Daniele and Kalia’s reign as HOH and won HOH. Despite making a deal with Daniele he went back on it and backdoored Daniele. However, a fallout with Shelly broke up her alliance with the vets. After Kalia rose to power again in the Double Eviction, she nominated Jeff and Rachel. After nominations stayed the same, Shelly turned on Jeff and evicted him. Losing all other allies, Jordan and Rachel were left to fend for themselves. After Porsche won HOH, she targeted the duo and after the duo twist returned and Jordan and Rachel became a duo and Porsche nominated them. After Rachel won a clutch POV, the duo both remained safe. Jordan and Rachel won power again as Rachel won HOH and evicted Kalia. After Adam won HOH and Porsche won POV, Jordan and Rachel were left nominated alongside each other and Jordan was evicted.

Victory[]

On Finale Night, Rachel managed to win the final HOH and brought Porsche with her and evicted Adam. Ultimately, Rachel was crowned the winner by a vote of 4-3.
