I like Dan too - but I'm afraid it'd put a larger target on him, as you said. I'd pick Renny. ETA: I just went to the site to vote and it says the poll is closed. ?

Dan is my fav too & that's why I won't vote for him to get the phone call. Renny is my 2nd fav so I'm not sure I want the other houseguests to realize how much America likes her either. I will vote for either Jerry or Michelle to get the call.

I won't vote for Michelle to get anything at all! She is so destructive and she already has a letter from home. But, I think Jerry needs it for a boost just to stay in the game. Keesha would also benefit because she is so insecure about JJ. I agree about Dan. He is my fave, but I don't want the extra target on his back. Rennie just got a letter and she doesn't need the extra target either. Ollie may need to hear some discontent or advice on how to behave from home so he doesn't make more mistakes with April in the jury house. I'll vote Jerry or Keesha.

That whole house is on a daily diet of Haterade. Whoever gets the call would most likely be a target out of pure jealously. I defiantly don't want to jeopardize my favorites so they can get a 5 min, moderated call. I am going to use my vote strategically. I'm picking Keesha or Jerry to get that call.

I think the mostly TV-only audience they have will pick either Jerry or Renny. So maybe we should focus our votes on Jerry so not to cause any thing negative for Renny. But we all have to be prepared to feel pretty lousy for Renny. Deal? ")

Yep, I agree! Dan & Renny are my favorites also, so my vote will be for Jerry!

Coffee hasn't kicked in yet, and I can't remember all the past winners of the call, or if it was even offered every season?? Only ones I do recall are Janey in S6 (didn't she ask for update on Britney, LOL?!), Jessica/S8 (brother home from Iraq). Was it even done in AS or S9, others?? TIA OH, and I agree..such a dilemma. As much as it can give our true favorite an emotional boost to hear their loved one's voice, getting this prize can also make them instantly become a more attractive target. Since that's the case, I say, yeah..let's vote for Jerry, tee hee!

This vote can also deflect the AP suspicions away from Dan.

They usually have a little clip from the HG's saying why they want a call, so for TV only viewers, that might have a big influence.

Hardy BB2 got a call from his grandmother and Chicken George BB1 got a call from his wife.

I never thought about how this will effect the HG who gets the call (thanks for explaing it Archiecat). I'm sure to give my vote to Jerry now. I hope it works. I still think BB makes the final choices in these polls.

Mummy, you'd think it would, but with these guys the paranoia is so high, they might convince themselves that it's only more proof that America is rewarding 'their' player for all his successes so far, LOL. And did you catch Dan last night imitating Renny, just like Eric mimicing Evel Dick for his AP task?!! Dan is his own worst enemy sometimes when he does odd things esp such similar behaviors as past AP assignments, LOL..NOT the way to get them to stop suspecting you! Renny was about to pants him she was so annoyed, LOL.

I missed that EZ. Too much school paperwork to wade through. I missed most of last night.

I think there is a target on everybody's back at this time. I will vote for Renny because I think she would appreciate it the most (plus I love a good Irish accent), or for Jerry so he can check on the status of his ailing wife. I agree that Ollie's parents would not be allowed to discuss his showmance (and it will be irrelevant at that point because April is out of the house). Keesha - meh...who cares (sorry, but I just don't care for her and she doesn't have children so although I know she loves her family she doesn't strike me as the sort that is calling home every day). Dan - close to family but a young man out on his own...I think he can survive without chatting with mom and dad for a few weeks more. Michelle...we've heard enough about her family already! So I think Renny and Jerry would be the ones to be most affected by hearing from their families at this point in the game.

Maybe Memphis should get it-----after all he hasn't won anything yet, poor boy . Think how Michelle would react to him getting something she will want badly---------- Just a thought-----

I was thinking...The only time I remember any HG catching hell for winning the phone call was when Janelle won hers. Everyone was ticked off because it wasn't even a family member who called her. She got a call from strange Michael. I remember thinking it was pretty ridiculous myself that her call was from an evicted HG. The others so wanted to hear from their families. Anyway, my point it that since it's not some kind of cash or vacation prize, and it's a family member who calls, I don't think winning this will hurt anybody.

Jerry doesn't really have much and he isn't going to win, so I am voting for him. I think he would be the most appreciative of the call.
