If I were Michelle, I would not make nominations that place me squarely in one camp or the other. I would continue to straddle the line until there is a clear and lasting power in the house.

Thus, I would not nominate Chima, Lydia or Nat. Too clearly a declaration of war.

I would nominate Russ, explaining that he and I had had too many fights and I don't know where he stands with respect to me so I can't trust him.

I would also nominate Kevin, explaining that his not using the veto last week to save Lydia shows that he cannot be trusted since even his best friend could not trust him.

This places two individuals who are on the periphery of both camps on the block, without declaring herself firmly in one or the other.

Then let things play out as they do and make future decisions only as they need to be made and based on the circumstances at that time.

It's just too early for Michelle to choose up sides when she still does not have to.

If I were Michelle, I would keep Russell, simply because he has no allies in the house and he would be much easier to beat in the F2. Since Jesse is out the door, I would keep the trend going to get the rest of the alliance out and into the jury because any of those in Jesse's alliance would vote for any one of them left who made it to the F2. Keep the trend going...nominate Chima, Natalie...if one gets the POV, put up Kevin (he's becoming too much of a threat).

like Jeff said Chima and Natalie would be great and if one wins POV replace with Lydia.

It's about time one girl goes for sure and maybe with the double eviction Natalie follows Chima and so it will even the numbers.

Michele is making the right nominations of Chima and Natalie with Chima as the target. By leaving Russell in the game it keeps a huge target along with Jeff for the other side to focus on if they win the next hoh.

Chima's only loyalty is to Natalie as they reiterated last night in the hoh room, so that should be confirmation enough for Michele to know everything Chima told her when she was hoh was complete BS.

I also find it interesting that the girl power alliance Chima was promoting did not sit well with Michele as she thought it was not right to single out a gender, race or religion for game purposes.

This week is all about Michele and I hope she has a successful hoh.

What, I think you pose provocative ideas just to get everyone all stirred up!

I disagree that Michele should continue to float with her noms. At some point you need to show your flag, be a team player... If she floats here she will always be at least a *pawn/2nd nom* for everyone in the House. Sure, shell be on the GrrlPwer Team, oops, I mean the JessieWidows Team radar, but she's not the primary target. Even if Nat satys, Nat will likely target Jeff first, Chima targets Russ first.

It's time for Michele to declare a side if she wants any chance to make it to the end. Getting rid of Russell would be a huge mistake for her; everyone would vote him out, and she would not have anyone to team up with. Chima and Natalie are together, Lydia and Kevin are together, Jeff and Jordan are together; Michele needs to be with Russell. With the way the jury will be made up, he's probably the only person she could win against at the end.

If I were Michele (mods...maybe you could change the thread title to spell her name correctly?) I would do exactly what she is planning to do.

What, I agree with you. It's still too early for Michelle to pick sides, since floating is her strategy. Too many players are left on either side who would nominate her should she show an allegiance to one group over the other. Right now she's in the middle, keeping her just above hot water. Even if she gets nominated, it would only be as a pawn, since both sides still need her for their numbers.

As nice as Michelle is, she gets flusterred too easily, and that would make it difficult for her if she nominated 2 people who thought she was on their side. Her week would be like hell.

I certainly would not keep Russell, simply because his actions are volcanic - Calm for a short while then unrelenting explosions. She already knows what that feels like. I hope she doesn't forego putting him on the block just to please Jeff and Jordon. That would only help J/J and Russell's game, not hers. Russell would turn on Michelle in a heartbeat, regardless. And I really like Jeff, but he talked trash about Michelle last week and only tolerated her, but now he's one of her BFFs? I thought Jeff was better than that.

From Kminifity:

Not so much to stir things up. I just like the strategy side of the game. I'll be thinking about it, get an idea and wonder how others might think about the same thing. So, I post it.

I figure if people are interested, they'll post as well. If no one finds it interesting, no one will respond and no damage done.

If Michele did not want to pick sides she would have let Kevin win hoh. Michele knew when she won hoh her floating days were over. Michele is playing with logic, not emotion and I believe that will take her far in the game.

Chief, I gotta disagree with you. With the double eviction coming up, this is precisely when Michele needs to start thinking about her end game and who she could ultimately win against. At least Michele knows what she's dealing with when it comes to Russell. The constant lies and manipulations of Jesse & Natalie needs to be finished off with Natalie's exit, with Chima heading out the door right before her. Chima would also likely vote for her in the end if there was Russell sitting next to her in the finals.

What! You're great! Keep'em coming!!!

I also like threads with strategy talk, and the more the merrier!!

Still, I believe Jeff had a great idea to pit Chima against Natalie, since they're the two who plot and scheme against the others without any chance of bargaining.

However, the "mongoose" is hungry... with one cobra down his belly and pooped, he's ready for another!!!!
