[SPOILER] BREAKING NEWS

Before I even get the opportunity to write the first recap, TV Guide tweeted that "CBS confirms that Dick Donato has left the #BigBrother13 house. Details coming shortly…"

In the most sarcastic tone of voice I can manage, I say, "Oh no. I'm so upset."

As more info comes in, I will update this post.

UPDATE:

Before the first week of Big Brother is even over, Dick Donato has left the building.

"Due to a personal matter, Big Brother houseguest Dick Donato had to leave the game unexpectedly on Thursday," CBS said in a statement. "His departure will be addressed on the episode to be broadcast on Wednesday, July 13."

Evel Dick, who originally competed in Season 8, returned to the CBS reality show this season alongside Daniele as one of the three returning duos. The pair has not spoken in three years, which caused tension in the season premiere. They were able to escape elimination though, by making a deal with Rachel, who became the first Head of Household this season.

Will you miss Dick?

No, TV Guide, I will not.

Well, that didn’t take long. Not hours after the first primetime installment of Big Brother 13 aired, one of the cast members left the building — and under somewhat mysterious circumstances.

What’s more, the AWOL houseguest is not one of the unproven newbies, but one half of a returning “dynamic duo.” This person’s name: “Evel Dick” Donato.
“Due to a personal matter, Big Brother houseguest Dick Donato had to leave the game unexpectedly on Thursday,” reads a statement from CBS. “His departure will be addressed on the episode to be broadcast on Wednesday, July 13.”

Donato apparently went missing shortly after the season premiere. As seen in Showtime’s BB: After Dark feed, he apparently entered the Diary Room and never came out, leaving his partner/estranged daughter Daniele confused, EW.com reports.
Donato’s exit is sure to have a ripple effect, given that he was the winner of Season 8, and promised to keep things “interesting.”

CBS’ go-to summertime crowd-pleaser, Big Brother returned to strong numbers on Thursday, winning the night in both total viewers (7.7 million, up 3 percent from last year’s opener) and in the demo (with a 2.7 rating, up 13 percent).
