I do not like Natalie - pure meanness is just not fun to watch. However, if J and J continue to believe her lies and lose Russell, then I have no choice but believe that she deserves the win (and after all her friends are in the Jury House - something J and J can't even seem to think about).

I don't like her as a person either, but her gameplaying is near flawless. J/J may be gullible, but that's part of being a successful con artist - choosing the right marks. So far she has been able to manipulate Jessie, Lydia, Jeff and Jordan in her games, and even Kevin and Chima to an extent. Her age lie, which seemed a bit pointless at the beginning, is now paying off in spades - I'm certain that it's the main reason J/J have fallen for her so completely. I like Russell as a person, feel a bit of sympathy for Michele, admire Kevin's game playing, but at this point, Natalie deserves the win.

Also - Beffylou, if Russell goes Thursday, the balance of power could easily shift to K/N. Although Natalie has been lousy at challenges, Kevin has quietly come very close more and more often. They'd have a 50/50 chance at winning HOH on Thursday, and importantly, they would control the votes - no matter who wins POV.

Lillian, you are so right, Kevin could easily win HOH and he might want to actually get Nat out. He seems smarter about the game than J&J, he may realize he can't win votes against her. Also I think he is real close to figuring out her age lie, and he more than anyone knows that if she wants him out she will stop at nothing to achieve her goal.

Lillian, ITA with you on all points. While I still don't care for Nat as a person (and I have issues with someone that doesn't bathe everyday), her game play is flawless. However, it would have been interesting to see how long she would have lasted if we didn't have cliques this season. She road the coattails of the athletes' HOH and POV wins until two weeks ago.

I just can't stand the way she portrays herself as this great competitor and a force to be reckoned with when she hasn't won a dang thing or even come close! I know that the winner of BB isn't always the person that won the most competitions, but usually, that is their intent - NOT to win. Natalie acts like someone that DOES win, but she just...doesn't. It's so strange to listen to her in the DR.

If she's still there, she's winning. Comps are just a means to stay in the game and get others out - they have little bearing on the final outcome. The only way they come into play at the end is that some players will argue that as a point in their favour at the end, and some jury members will count comps as part of their final decision. But not all do. Also Lexie, can't remember if it was DR or some conversation, but Natalie said she chose Jessie at the beginning as a playing partner because she figured she could benefit from his previous experience, and avoid being targeted by having a more prominent target in front of her. Smart move. One could argue that being one of the athletes gave Natalie somewhat of a free ride at the beginning, but then the same can be said for Jeff. It was part of the game, and Natalie made the most of it, while Jeff did everything to resist it and is lucky he was put in that clique over the populars, or he would have been gone before Laura.

I do not like or admire Natalie. Her incessant gabbling is like having a rat inside your walls, scratching and squeaking without ceasing. I would scream at her "Just get away from me!!!"

I've been off the semi-fan train for awhile now. I PRAY for a competition where they have to be covered by cockroaches.

Does anyone else notice the "Screaming Chicken" sounds she often makes off camera, when they focused on someone else's conversation in the back yard. They are funny, i always think what the hell is going on over at that pool table.

I find it amusing that this is a "semi fan" thread and almost all the posters feel the need to apoligize first before posting. I love how she gets people so angry. Her win would give me weeks of entertainment after F2 just to read the outrage. The only one I wouldn't want to really win is Jeff.

I had a brief moment of non dislike during her phone call to her Dad but she then came out of the DR and continued to lie for no reason and plan to distroy or hide Michele's things. sorry can't even muster up Semi-fandom.

I agree Caprica, I have searched and searched the depths of my soul and I can't even muster a semi either...

How about ... I SEMInally despise her? Does that count? Granted she's played harder than anyone else in the house. (Actually she's probably tied with Michelle but M's HAD to play so hard since everyone distrusts her so much.) Still, I can't find it in me to appreciate an iota of Nat's game. Should be an interesting F3.

Semi-less here. Can't do it. Until someone documents opposable thumbs on her, I ain't even buyin' that she's human.

LOL Kappy - That's because it's a semi-fan thread. We have lower requirements. It's semi-everything.

Well, she's kept her eye on the ball the whole time and no one has called her on her gameplay, so I guess she's played this house exactly right so far. Doesn't mean I have a semi for her. Not a bit, I dislike her as much as if not more than Maggie.

She played the whole house because with people like those I would be able to fool them as easily. Laura would have been able to unmask Natalie but she made sure Jessie got her out... Kevin also has figured out how she's playing the game but for now he prefers a partner in crime and then hopefully dump her at the right time.

I think Natalie's boyfriend's Mom is one smart cookie.

Chippy, I'm with you. I know it's mean to say but every time I look at Nat I cring tthink of that Cher line from Witches of Eastwick. Then to calm down I imagine how well Nat would fit in just dandy in one of the experimental animal cages of Michele's lab. I'm such a bad person for thinkin' that but I just can't help it!

LOL, Llrpurch. Juju, what did Natlie's boyfriend's mom do to earn your admiration? I missed that one. I'm thinking she must hate Natalie and has a restraining order against her or something.

LOL Goddess... she's mentioned several times that her bf's mother doesn't like her and neither does, I think, her mother. Maybe I'm mistaken cause I think my head exploded over her saying that out loud and as if how could they not like little ole me. Maggots gagged everywhere.

Correct, Chippy. BF's mom does not like Natalie, nor does her step-mother. Remember, kiddies, Always listen to your Mom. She is usually right.
