Summary

On the first night, the houseguests were told of a surprise. They then were told that they had to pair up in groups of two. Before the HoH (Head of Household) competition, the houseguests were welcomed to three past dous. The first were Rachel and Brendon (from Big Brother 12). The second were Jordan and Jeff (from Big Brother 11). The last dous were Danielle and Dick (from Big Brother 8). During the HoH competition, the houseguests had to hold onto a banana. They were later squirted with chocolate and whip cream, while being rocked back-and-forth, to make the competition harder. Rachel then won the first HoH competition of the summer and her partner Brendon were safe from being evicted from the game. Host, Julie Chen, told the houseguests that Rachel had to choose only one dou. She was also told that only one of them would be evicted. However, the houseguest who wasn't eliminated can be safe until there are ten remaining houseguests.

Notes
  1. ↑ This week was a double eviction week. Following the first eviction, the remaining HouseGuests played a week's worth of games, including Head of Household and veto competitions, and nomination, veto and eviction ceremonies, during the live show, culminating in a second eviction for the week.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 As the vote was tied, the Head of Household cast the tie-breaker vote.
  3. ↑ As Head of Household, Rachel chose to evict Adam.
  4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 This player was awarded a golden key because their partner was voted out, and was thus immune from being nominated for eviction through week 3.
  5. ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3   This player was granted immunity from being nominated for eviction because their partner was Head of Household.
  6. ↑ 6.0 6.1 6.2 Daniele was awarded a golden key after Dick quit the game, and was thus immune from being nominated for eviction through week 3.
  7. ↑ The audience had the chance to decide whether Keith, Cassi, Dominic, or Brendon would be given a chance to re-enter to the house. The audience chose Brendon, so after Lawon's eviction on day 35, Brendon and Lawon battled to re-enter the House, and Brendon won.

Twist

As revealed on ET Canada on June 28, 2011; Julie Chen revealed that Dynamic Duos of seasons past would have a major impact on this season and the twist.
