Lexie-OK I will hold you to it if I am right! Also, how do you explain Jeff NOT getting his Goodbye messages? Plus the commercial saying "The Jury House is Packing a Surprise" What else could that be besdies a returning houseguest??

As much as I do not want to see Natalie win (and I realllllly don't!) I think there is no possible way that any HG would return. Hate to say it but Jeff blew it when he sent Russell packing. And I really like Jeff a lot (Except for the one time when Michele told him sorry (right after some comp that he lost) and he said "Get away from me.") But other than that I really liked him soooo soooo much. I also liked Jordan. Don't think they'll ever hook up, but they made the BB house much more enjoyable this year!

Jeff probably didn't get his goodbye messages because they ran out of time on the live show. I vaguely recalling either last season or the season before where a houseguest didnt' get goodbye message because of lack of time. "Jury House Packing a Surprise" is probably another lame twist by AG where she pumps it up and it means nothing - kind of like Pandora's Box during Kevin's HOH. Besides Julie already said last week that the final three would be competing in the three-part HOH this week.

Closet-Wasn't it!! I tell you he's the hottest guy I have ever seen on TV for sure! I can't believe Jordan wouldn't be all over him! I hope she doesn't give up the chance to date him. I don't think she has any idea the line of women who will be after him after BB.

OK, here's what I would do BUT since you guys say BB throws lame twists at us (I am a Novice BB watcher) I am probably wrong. Sorry, all but IF I were BB's ex Producer I would fix comps and throw things in to favor certain HG's. I would wait n see who the MOST popular ones were (By reading feeds like this one and by Polls and ratings) THEN I would set it for them to win or at least make it to F2 or F3. I know that sounds dishonest BUT its a show on TV and they need ratings to survive. After all we see what these HG's do for $ you don't think the BB execs do the same? Your kidding yourself if you don't. SO< they see BB has BIG Ratings this yr and one Poll alone shows the 3rd most popular thing to watch on TV IS Jeff & Jordan on BB NOT Just BB! Ding Ding! A bell would go off for me. Plus I am sure they have seen the ratings dip on TV , Showtime and the feeds drop since Jeff left. They want to get BB renewed SO they need to pull in the big guns. I would then wait until tonights LIVE show when everyone will be surprised including US! I would STOP Kev before he nominates his replacement. I would have Julie say "But wait we haven't seen the end of Pandoras Box and remember "Expect the unexpected" Then they roll in Pandoras Box and have Jeff pop out with a Diamond Veto around his neck! They would announce Nat released him by opening the box as well as Kev by choosing Pandoras. I would then explain that Kev's veto is no longer valid due to his greediness AND Nat is no longer safe as HOH due to her greediness. Then I would annnounce that Jeff has the only veto and will be the ONLY vote as to who goes home. Jeff evicts Kev. Then for the first time in BB history (as Nat's card said) 4 people play for Final HOH and 3 people make it to the Finals!! First place is $500,000, 2nd is $75,000 and 3rd is $30,000 with Americas Favorite getting $25,000. So we can still have the J/J show and the ratings go boom through the roof! People will be mad saying its fixed BUT because they don't know what to expect they still tune in and the J/J fans are of course thrilled!! So, I know its far fetched BUT it would be HUGE and be a HUGE Twist would be a huge surprise that the Jury was packing! BB can do whatever they want so this is possible and I am holding out HOPE.

But Mary, the problem with that argument is the viewing numbers have not dropped since Jeff left. And they don't necessarily gear the challenges so that fan favorites can win, i.e. witness the years that Jun, Maggie and Evil Dick - three of the most unpopular winners on BB. You say you are a BB novice. Is this your first year watching? If it is, once they are out of the house and giving interviews - they CANNOT come back into the house.

Lexie- Yes, but Evil Dick for example was fun to watch & created BIG ratings unlike Natalie. Jeff created HUGE ratings which is why he got the first standing ovation. As I have said there is a FIRST time for everything and IF BB wanted to bring back Jeff they could even IF he already did interviews. Its their show so they can do what they want. I realize they probably won't do this BUT I think it would be a HUGE twist if they did unlike the very boring twist (or no twist) they have done with Pandoras Box. Plus what about "The Jury is Packing a Surprise??"

The ratings did drop on Sunday because of the holiday weekend. There's a ratings thread in the outside the house BB forum. I think the we'll have a better idea of how Jeff did or did not impact the ratings after tonight's show.

Chere-They dropped because Jeff was voted off I am sure it had nothing to do with the Holiday.

I like Jeff, but I would be very unhappy if he reappeared in a twist this evening. The dude got got, and the people who are left who didn't got got deserve to complete this game in a manner that is pure as to final outcome. To bring him back now would scream "the fix is in", and I've never really entertained that thought where the final outcome of BB is concerned.

I also think it was the three day holiday that caused ratings to drop on Sunday...it had nothing to do with the presence of Jeff in the BB house, or the lack thereof. This Sunday, they also postponed the finales of both "True Blood" and "Hung" AND they aired reruns of "Army Wives" and "Drop Dead Diva". At first I thought maybe there was a big awards show special like the Emmys airing on Sunday until I remembered it was a three day weekend. Sunday night programming often gets postponed on three day weekends. Their revenue is tied to ratings and they make more money when they air their chows (and commercials) during nights with a large TV audience. Ratings always drop on holiday weekends.

Evil Dick was not entertaining to watch for me. He was excruciatingly mean and I found it distasteful to watch him bullying people left and right. Other people may have been entertained by it. Me, I was just turned off. Neither have I watched the show more because of Jeff being on it. I WAS fascinated with his use of the Coup de Etat (spelling), but after he became HOH and abused his power left and right and started making mistakes, he was no more a draw for me than anyone else. Just my own POV.

I'm just glad one of the J/J show are still in it! I can't imagine the disappointment Jeff would have felt if Jordan joined him in the Jury house right after him. I'm crossing my fingers for a Jordan upset in the competition tonight. Too many have written her off, and I know she can do it!

I don't know if I believe that Jeff would be disappointed to see Jordan walking in the jury house door right after him. I think he would be very happy to see her and I think that the game viewpoint changes drastically once you get to the jury house and start to decompress.

From Jeff's interview with etonline! All of the other questions/answers were pretty much the same as in all the other interviews. This is the first I've seen where he possibly alludes to more than BFF feelings. ET: What's up with you and Jordan? JEFF: It's hard to develop a romantic relationship under those circumstances. The friendship that we have is definitely real, and the feelings I have on my end are definitely genuine.

He also admitted to having a crush on Jordan in one of his interviews. He doesn't want to give too much away just in case Jordan feels differently when she gets out of the house. They need to talk outside of the house very badly. I hope we get an idea of what they relationship will be like when it is all over and done with.

I hope so too Wendy. Yep, it was in the interview with Ross, where he said he had a little crush on Jordan. Hopefully, they both go to the party in Vegas next weekend. The feeds are supposed to be on for the party and maybe we'll get a glimpse of them together. I know Jordan is pretty anxious to get home to see her family so I hope Jeff convinces her to go!

Chere-Oh, I would love that!! Can anyone confirm or deny this? If so when is the party? I really think J/J need some alone time. Jordan really seems to miss Jeff. I think its sad that she brings up Jeff on a regular basis and noone seems to want to talk about him. I wish they could have given them a Romantic dinner before Jeff left.

Just popping in to say that I'm feeling bad for Jordan this week. She seems so sad or maybe it's just lonely. Hope Jeff is having fun.

Kerster- I agree. I have been thinking the same thing. Jordan is very social and needs people to talk to & lean on. Nat & Kev definetly aren't it! Plus, I really think she now realizes her feelings for Jeff are stronger than she thought and she misses him. I am sure Jeff is having fun BUT I bet he misses Jordan too. I am praying Jordan can pull off a win tonight and end up being the one to pick in the end!
