Veterans

The Veterans were an alliance during Big Brother 13. It was formed immediately at the beginning of the game, consisting of all the Dynamic Duos that had re-entered the house. Thus far, it has been somewhat effective.

Creation
On the first night in the Big Brother house, the Dynamic Duos got together to form the Veterans alliance.

Strategy
The Veterans had a plan to get all the stronger newbie players out of the game and keep the weak ones to propel themselves to the final six. They all played a rather open game, even inviting some newbies to join their alliance, including and.

Fallout
After Dick Donato left the game, the Vet alliance slowly fell apart, with Daniele Donato often giving inside information to Dominic Briones, who she formed an alliance with, and the two tried to get HOH Rachel Reilly and her partner Brendon Villegas to use Brendon's POV to take Dominic and his partner Adam Poch off the block and put up Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd so Daniele and Dominic could try to backdoor Jeff. The two remaining Dynamic Duos, Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd, and Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly often fought against one another and each considered putting the other on the chopping block. The most recent defiance was by Daniele Donato, who after winning HOH and choosing her nominations, put Brendon and Rachel on the block. Daniele then nominated Jordan when Rachel was saved by Brendon. Brendon was evicted as a result of Daniele's betrayal. Brendon would later return to the game when America voted to give him a chance to come back and in a live showdown, Brendon beat Lawon, who was evicted that week, to get back in the game. Also, during newbie Kalia's reign as HOH, Daniele pushed for her to nominate Rachel & Jeff, then nominate Jordan if the POV was used. Kalia did nominate Rachel & Jeff, but then put Lawon up on the block instead of Jordan when Jeff won The Power Of Veto and took himself off the block, making Daniele upset.
