if I were Jeff, I would put up Jessie/Natalie. How awesome would it be to watch that on live tv. Julie says, HG's as you know one of you have won the "wizard" award we will now as he winner to come to the diary room to make his decision. Jeff, please go to the diary room. Jeff trotts out to the diary room, mangles he "coup d'etat" phrase and says, I elect to replace he nominees with Jessie and Natalie. Diary room says, Jeff please return to the living room. Julie says, Russell and Lydia please sit on the sofa. Jessie, Natalie, each of should make a brief statement to the house pleading your case to stay. Natalie, you go first....................... I would love Jessie to go because Natalie would be just like Ivette after Cappy got evicted. Then again, I would love Natalie to go because Jessie would be significantly weakened, he would have no ally except for Russell who he knows he cant trust and Jeff can tell Russel that he owes him for taking him off the block.

Why would Chima get to vote? If she is completely safe from Jeff's nominations, then that means that he is NOT overthrowing her and taking all her power, he just has the power to overthrow her nominations. If he was overthrowing her and she got a vote, then she should be fair game for him to nominate.

To me this season is one of the best because it's all a crap shot. I'm anxious to see who will win. My favorite right now is Kevin. I think Jeff and Jordan have already won something better than money and I feel they will do well after this show regardless of winning or not. That said I think Jeff is a fool if he doesn't use the power and I've waffled on this topic but now am firmly convinced he should use it. They, Chima Natalie and Jesse, are gunning for him whether he uses the power or not.

Chima would vote Jessie out and keep Natalie. She wants the men gone and she has also stated that she needs to wean Natalie away from Jessie to have control of her.. so while she'd be pissed to not have Russell gone first, if she has a vote and it is Jessie/Natalie, Jessie will be her victim. Sun the assumption some are making is that if Jeff uses the coup, Chima may get to vote. I dont know that she would but I think if she did, she'd vote Jessie out.

And while I do understand why they want Jessie gone first, I'd be pretty happy to have Natalie off the feeds (the few hours she is awake).

He needs to get Jesse out now. Once he is gone I bet he can get Lydia & kevin on his side to help get Nat & Chima out.

I don't think Jeff has anything to lose, but he may not know it. He will be targeted just because it is believed he has the power. The egos can't handle that America didn't vote for them Use the power, and get an enemy out. Chima, Lydia and Natalie (assuming she stays) will be after him. OH wait - they already are!! Go for it Jeff - there is nothing to lose (IMO)

So, the general consensus is that Jeff does NOT become HoH, with all that means? All he can do is replace the two evictees?

He's doomed anyway.. so might as well do it, at least to give America some satisfaction. Either way one man will leave the house and Chima should stop complaining since this will work in her "girls' alliance" anyway. Jeff, I'm afraid, will learn little from this experience, he seems to me still oblivious to BB scheming. He remains fixated on one thing but does not see the next move, bad chess player. Also, Jeff does not have the killer instinct, he cannot come up with a win when he most needs which is on thursday HOH comp, now is the time to win HOH or POV, otherwise he will follow Jessie or Russ to the Jury House. See, past players, like Janelle, were able to survive by winning at critical times, but if Jeff doesn't or he doesn't get an ally who can also win, he's toast.

This has officially become the worst season of Big Brother. All the fans do is complain because their "favourite" is doing well, which is the players own fault. Then BB tries to throw a "twist" into the game by taking the power away from the players. The point of the game is for the houseguests to ouplay each other, by adding a factor that they cannot control eliminates the whole purpose of the game. The Coup De'tat has ruined the season. Good Job Big Brother.

Mcwadel are you not a fan? LOL each year we all seem to love someone and hate someone! Not always the same people as we agree to disagree! It wouldn't be BB if we didn't complain! As we all like someone different! I actually don't think this is the worst season! But LOL that's what makes us all watch we all think different as we peek thru BB's Window

Oh Mcwadel... Big Brother is the Mighty one. The original point of this game is based on the Orwellian theory of totalitarianism. A system where Big Brother exercises total control over all aspects of life, the individual is subordinated to the state. I love that BB throws in factors which the HG's must maneuver through in order to survive... Survival of the fittest,

I don't believe the CDT works the way you think it does OP. Many of your reasons against using it are based on facts that do not seem to be accurate in regards to how the power is likely to work. From what I have seen it would be a huge mistake for him not to use it. Having Russell leave this week hurts him a lot and does not help him at all. On top of that getting rid of Jesse or Natalie would do serious damage to the people most against him. It would be Marcellus dumb for him to not use it and use it to full effect, unless there is some kind of unknown twist. Giving up your right to vote, or not competing next week, even if they were how it works and it does not seem that is so, would not be reasons to not use the power.

Jeff is better off taking this opportunity while he has a chance to break up the Jessie/Natalie alliance. He already has enemies after him, so that should be the least of his worries. Getting rid of Jessie would be the best move he could make at this time. He may never win HOH, so he's better off taking that power away from Chima this week, and continuing to form a stronger alliance with Russell. He told Jordan that it was time for him to try to make a move in this game, so I hope he doesn't back out.

Actually the Jessie/Natalie/Chima alliance.. at least get rid of Jessie for a good start. I'll be SO disappointed if he caves.. Earlier tonight Chima was telling Kevin why Jeff should keep Jessie.. because Jessie is loyal. Kevin sayd "not to Jeff" and Chima admitted that but persisted that it was better and Russell is not loyal.

Granted this season is somewhat of a "Dud" for me the worst season was the year Maggie won. Followed closely by the "Evil Dick" season. I can't recall the years, I just know when the winner is not one of my favs.

I wouldn't count on Kevin voting out Jessie over Natalie. Chima has made it clear to him that he's only a temporary member of the girls alliance, so if Chima's side starts to crumble after CDE, then he might just abandon ship. If he wants to regain Lydia as strong ally, rather than let Chima get hold of her, he can weaken Chima easily by getting rid of Natalie, who will easily transfer her undying loyalty to Chima after Jessie's gone. And, he can regain Lydia's favour by voting with her to keep Jessie. It's obvious what Natalie will do if she remains - strengthen Chima's quest for a girl alliance. Jessie OTOH is a more likely candidate to be an asset to other players in the game once Natalie is gone.

What5, Jeff overthrows the HOH but is NOT the HOH. The HOH still can't vote, and now neither can Jeff. In the event of a tie, Jeff breaks it because those are HIS nominees, not the HOH's, but since only 5 will be voting, there won't be a tie. After the eviction, Jeff is eligible to become HOH while Chima,still as the outgoing HOH, is not. Jessie would most like be the one to go as Jordan and Kevin for sure will vote him out. Russell and Michele most likely will as well. Russell knows Jessie is the bigger threat, and Michele seems "closer" to Natalie of the 2. Lydia will clearly vote out Natalie.

Poor Jeff, Russell has exploded too many times. I think he'll still save Russ but if he doesn't I will understand. Either way, Jeff or Jordan have to win the next HOH

Given my current understanding of the rules, I can't see how not using it could help Jeff. He'll have some people unhappy with him if he uses it but those same people will still likely want to get rid of him even if he doesn't use it. So he has nothing to lose by using it and the gain of getting rid of a big opponent and breaking up a major alliance. Plus endearing himself to most of America.

Hey, Jeff has been a target since week 1, even from his own alliance. He doesn't owe them any loyalty. I hope that he uses the power, puts up Natalia and Jesse and I really could care less which of those two leaves, although I think Jesse has been the better player...Natalie hasn't done anything except talk out of her (insert your own description of that particular part of her anatomy) and sleep. I then hope he wins HOH and puts up whomever is left and Chima and Chima walks out the door. Besides, I would like to see Chima self-destruct herself during the live show, and show exactly how little class she really has (which she has already done once in my opinion). Although I daresay that's not going to happen...I think that Chima knows exactly what she's going to do in all situations and how far she can take it...she is not going to do herself in during the live show because she doesn't want to get herself in major trouble with the production people...she will only take it as far as she thinks she can get away with (remember, she even went in and checked if she could throw water at Russell before she did it - she doesn not act out of impulse but instead what will give her the most screen time).

I agree with Jimmer and Roxip! I bet the HG that is NOT evicted on Thursday will be telling Jeff: We were never after you!!! Yeah right... BTW I had a Jeff dream last night...that he told me I was cute on my facebook page! LOL

Jeff knows we want him to use it or we would not have given it to him....He will use it....I hope he puts up Nat and Jess....He needs to break that up before they come after him and Jordan as a couple...
