'BB 13' Winner Talks Floaters, Her Victory

I'll be honest, the only thing more annoying than this year's Big Brother couples twist was that it brought Brenchel back into the house -- and my life -- for the second summer in a row. However, after Brendon got voted out (for good), a funny thing happened on the way to jury house: I started rooting for Rachel.

Some may chalk it up to a lack of legit players remaining in the dog days of this summer competition, but you have to give the girl her due: Rachel not only toned down the histrionics that made her such a punching bag (for fans and Ragan) last year, but also evolved her strategy to include -- shocker! -- a social game.

I caught up with the unofficial life vest spokesperson after her win yesterday to talk about that big money moment, why she never actually sheds tears while crying and who this season's biggest floater really was! Watch!
