I may vote for Jerry by process of elimination. Plus I think he has the sick wife and large family to check up on, and the smallest support group in the house. Had he not returned to the nicer Jerry not sure I would, but here's my main reasons for not wanting the key other HG to win this and why I think Jerry makes most sense; Memphis; I do NOT want the HG to get the idea he is popular and want to help him to increase their own popularity. He already is playing too smooth a game and there's just something about him I don't personally care for. Renny; she already thinks America loves her. Ironically I think she is undoing her own popularity. She doesn't need any help from us. Michelle; Another one who feels she is far more liked than she is. Her baby talk and manipulation hasn't motivated me to want to help her in any way. Dan; I really like him and after AP feel this is the WORST thing that could happen to him. These HG will be consumed by jealosy. I think if he wins this we may kill his game. NO WAY will I risk this. Keesha: How long can her dog woof at her? Would she care about anyone else? LOL...nope...total waste here. Ollie...um who? Though he may need someone to talk to with April likely gone, but I haven't seem him do one thing to even play the game let alone earn a call. Well that runs down all the HG cept April who as I said is likely gone. But if not, she is the last person I would want to reward with anything in there. SOOOOO by process of elimination, there's Jerry with a few good reasons to give him the call, vs the rest of the house that all have solid reasons IMHO NOT to give them the call!!!!

PS Naja...I don't think we can assume because it didn't hurt Janie it won't hurt anyone this season. This is a different group of HG with WAY different intereaction/chemistry/way of voting/PERCEPTIONS/etc. They take almost everything personally, and they do try to decide what everything means on a personal level. Also, look at how much milage Michelle got out of that fake banner. So in this case I think it might hurt some folks, esp if they want an excuse. And at this point they are looking for excuses. I think Jerry is by far the safest too, as folks will realize he has the older, ill wife kids and grandkids. Logical why he would get a call, but beyond him I can't see them not dissecting why the HG got a call and well, see above for the rest LOL.

Janie was already a target and outnumbered anyway. It was a matter of time before she would leave. I voted for her just out of pure spite to see the looks of her other HGs faces. Muwhahaha! If her alliance was still together at that time and she had a chance, I would have might voted differently.

If the viewers get to hear the phone call (both sides of the convo) I'd vote for Ollie. I remember in the first episode of the season they showed Ollie with his father (a preacher) who told Ollie something like "Don't embarrass us while you're in that house" and Ollie said he wouldn't. Even if his folks don't have the live feeds, I'm sure that word has gotten to them about O&A's unprotected nooky time under the covers. I'd just like to hear what his dad has to say to him at this point!

If his dad is a preacher he will forgive his son and stand by him after a nice finger wagging.

A couple people have mentioned giving it to Jerry so he can check on his ailing wife? Did anyone notice when he was listing the people he missed on the show the other day, his wife was about 8th or 9th down on the list? Did it bug anyone else or am I making mountains out of molehills? I found myself talking to him on TV as he was talking to himself "Uh, your wife?! Your WIFE. Helloooo, you have a wife."

I'm going to vote for Jerry. Maybe it will deflect some of the attention off of Renny and Dan.

I missed that Gurlie but no, you are not making mountains out of molehills. Spouse should always be first IMO, followed by your children, parents if alive, then anyone else is fair game. ESPECIALLY if he is using it as an angle in his gameplay. Which he has. Hell, that and his devout military love (which made me and I am sure a whole bunch of others think he made the Marines his career) were probably the main reasons he got picked for the show.

Sorry Naja...that's what I get for trying to live without caffiene. Think it's time for me to give up the giving up LOL. But the rest of what I said applies minus the Janie part lol. As for Jerry and his wife. I'd need to see a clip of it to know if it bothers me or not. I'm not sure what context they were listing people or how it came up. Plus he spoke about his sick wife so much early on, and I heard some folks comment how he would be getting house sympahty for it if he stayed in, that maybe he listed her not at the top to not keep stressing her...since I've noticed he hasn't mentioned her nearly as much as he did early on unless someone asks him about it. But I really haven't watched must BB lately to be honest. The reason I'm not so inclined to think this is a diss about his wife is no matter how obnoxious he may be at times in the house, I've never heard him speak of his wife w/anything less than love and concern.

Just added a bit on the title of this thread.. I did look before starting a redundant thread (now closed) == Here's what was said in that thread: Seamonkey Moderator 09-07-2000 Thursday, August 21, 2008 - 2:45 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway I'm already trying to think who would be best. If I could hear the other side, I'd fantasize about Ollie hearing from his parents! I think Renny and Jerry would probably appreciate it most but I hate to put a target on them, especially Renny. I'd rather have Michelle get it than Keesha, for some reason. Carochar Member 07-25-2005 Thursday, August 21, 2008 - 2:56 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first thought was Ollie, too! My second thought was, "Too bad April won't find out all the love America feels for her!" Brenda1966 Member 07-03-2002 Thursday, August 21, 2008 - 2:58 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't you think Dan will win it? Isn't he the HG America likes best? Konamouse Member 07-16-2001 Thursday, August 21, 2008 - 3:02 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan doesn't need it. And, yes, that puts a big target on this back. I'd love for Ollie to get it. Really freak out the HG about who is popular or not. Caprica Member 02-10-2007 Thursday, August 21, 2008 - 3:03 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Renny Seamonkey Moderator 09-07-2000 Thursday, August 21, 2008 - 3:03 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caro, I thought of that, too! How nice it would be for April to be there to not win it. But that would work for Keesha too, for me. Dan isn't my favorite and I didn't vote for him to be AP. But yeah, he could win it. Of those left in the house I do think that Renny and Michelle and Jerry robably miss family the most, but at least they've all had pictures. Don't think Jerry got a letter from home.

I agree it could hurt someone.. I'm torn between giving it to someone who really misses family or trying to throw someone off..

I agree with Lurks logic. I will vote for Jerry. He doesn't have a chance getting to the final 3, he's been on slop. And I think he will be the most endeared by hearing from his family. I also feel badly for him after reading Renny's blog.

Yep after reading this whole thread, my inclination is to vote for Jerry. Or Dan, just to see him squirm.
