Big Brother | Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Big Brother‘s thirteenth season has begun and received its best ratings in the key demo since 2007!

The season premiere of the hit summer reality series won the night and was watched by over 7.7 million viewers.

The new season has just begun and there already has been a shake-up in the house.

“Evel” Dick Donato, an all-star contestant who won the eighth season of Big Brother, has been removed from the house “due to a personal matter.”

Evel Dick‘s departure will be addressed on the July 13th episode.

ARE YOU WATCHING Big Brother this season?

Big Brother 12 couple Rachel Reilly and Brendon Villegas are staying true to CBS and will launch their acting careers with recurring roles on the long-running soap The Bold and the Beautiful.

“Nothing could top being on this soap opera!” Rachel told TV Guide. “I’ve been watching B&B since I was eight so this is totally surreal.”

“I think all those soap-opera twists and turns are hilarious. Our whole lives were a soap opera on Big Brother, so to take part in a real one is really fun and cool,” Brendon added. “But I don’t think it’s easy and it doesn’t come naturally for me.”

Big Brother 8 winner Richard Louis “Evel Dick” Donato and his runner-up daughter Daniele leave WeHo’s Les Deux nightclub on Tuesday after a double date with their respective significant others.

The Donatos left the club hand-in-hand with their dates. Dick looked quite cozy with his girlfriend Reanna Mae.

Daniele, a former Hooters waitress, is still going strong with her Big Brother hook-up Nick, aka Nicholas Starcevic.

For the ultimate Nick and Daniele fans, you can bid your heart out on Danielle‘s BB8 duffle bag and Nick’s football shirt that they both wore on the show.

As of this posting, the shirt (autographed by both Daniele and Nick) is up to 47 bids with a hefty $2,000.00 price tag. The bag (autographed by Daniele) is up to 44 bids with a whopping $2,800.00 price tag. Talk about cashing in!

Congratulations to Evil Dick Donato, “the lesser of two evils”, for winning Big Brother 8.

When asked what he was going to do with the money, Evel Dick said “I’m taking a trip, man. I’m getting the hell out of here. Away from some of these people, and I’m going to relax, and I’ll be doing an around the world thing for sure.”

I can’t believe Nick has his arm wrapped around Danielle! Her boyfriend, Kris, must be livid. Or did he dump her already?
