Some excellent thoughtful posts here. Sadly, they will disappear into the oblivion that is the LFD thread. Maybe we should start a thread for discussing houseguest strategy?

All well said. In my opinion, it was STUPID for Porsche, Kalia and Shelley to side and vote with a bunch of people from the start that they CANNOT beat in competitions, and who - in the end - will NEVER take them to the end. NOW is the time for them to flip and vote with the newbies and Dani to keep Dom. Then would have a REAL solid, fighting chance of beating the vets in an HOH endurance competition and breaking up the that foursome, because Rachel cannot play this week. But I don't see Shelly climbing out of Brendon's/Jeff's butt, nor Porsche climbing out of Rachel's...sad

BR and JJ seem to think they are the only pairs that are allowed in the house. How dare anyone even speak of splitting them up or make side alliances while the four of them spend the whole day doing exactly that. Dani doesn't want to play for fifth and I don't blame her. She also understands the end game and is looking at who would help her on the jury and who she wants to sit next to in the end. I can understand JJ sticking with BR to f4. Hell, they'd win it all with both hands tied behind their backs and they know that. What I don't get at all is what the hell BR are thinking even aligning with JJ. It should have been their goal to split them up and get them out pre jury. And they could have done it considering how easy the newbies are to get on their side. What irks me to no end is the notion that everyone should help Jeff and Jordan have "time together". You heard Jeff- don't **** with them and try to split them up when they're trying to have their time together. I'd give up a body part to make that happen. lol

Great insights everyone! So basically what it comes down to, is that Shelly and Kalia blew up the newbies game - week ONE! They can both go now.

You heard Jeff- don't **** with them and try to split them up when they're trying to have their time together. I thought J/J saying this was a ploy to make them look less threatening as a pair. I think they laid it on too thick which has worked against them a little.

I think the two couples know that their best shield is the other couple, but when it gets down to 5-6, they'll cut each others' throats. I did fear before the season started that some newbies would be starstruck - and Shelly, savvy as she is, is definitely so for JJ. Adam is just for the whole thing, not necessarily those players. Porsche is the type who will cling to whoever is the biggest celebrity in any room, and Rachel is her best bet for a post-game buddy to go with to Vegas parties. JJ might be more popular, but they won't get her anywhere. I wonder how many times she's tried out for the Bachelor. I think Kalia just wasn't connecting with the cool kids (Dom/Cassi) on her side, so she rebelled and went against them. There's nothing strategic about her.

Thanks you all for staying up so late and posting! Really love reading the boards (and not working.) So if Dom leaves this week - who is left that has the kahunas to put the couples up - Shelly, Adam, Lawron??? - they are going to pick off each other. What a wasted season. Give Brenchal and J/J the prize money, and lets put on old Mayberry and Petticoat Junction reruns.

I'm actually thinking that the one person who might not put up JJBR is Dani. It might be in her best interests to make a gesture to them by keeping them safe, regaining their trust (at least for a week or two) and thereby upping the odds for her own safety the following week when she can't compete. Mind you, the only newbies she's not making friends with are Shelly and Porsche - JJ and BR's lieutenants respectively. If she can swing it, getting rid of one of them will help her later when JJ and BR really go after her. I guess she could put up Adam saying he's the real target, but then do her best to get the other one out, and have a backup for veto (which Adam will likely not win).

Well, Debylil, since the couples have promised 3rd place to the entire newbie house, none of them will be willing to put up R/B and J/J. Unless they suddenly wake up and think that they would like to win the game. It might be too late at this point. What I don't understand, is that R/B & J/J are promising each newbie that they will 'take you with us' thinking they are giving them a gift! And then, the newbies happily ACCEPT the 'gift'. A gift of 3rd place. Gee, you shouldn't have. LOL!

We really need a newbie to win HOH just to mix things up. BR and JJ are under the mistaken impression they run everything, forgetting how much things change when the power shifts in the other direction.

Watching fb's, slays me how Brendon eats up all of Rachel's snacks, knowing full well, he can eat anything downstairs and that's all she has to eat until Saturday. Very selfish and inconsiderate.

And wasn't Brendan the one complaining that the newbies were eating all "their" food? The storage room is always full of food, so I don't know what he's talking about.

I just listened to the Vet meeting from last night. Dani is driving the bus that is about to run over Dominic. She let him take the fall for the back dooring Jeff idea.

I don't understand why anyone is surprised that their name was floated as a nom or replacement or backdoor or vote out. There are only so many options, and surely everyone should realize that all moves must be considered in gameplay? I will say this though - I read a report by some blogger who participated in media day, and he said even he was surprised about how fast you become paranoid. Even though they weren't playing and weren't there long, the idea that all these conversations are happening in different parts of the house makes you feel out of the loop and worrying about what you're missing.

I said yesterday that ALL the newbies and Dani can flip this week, vote out Adam, who is not as strong as Dom is, especially if it is endurance this week. Dani, Kalia, Lawon, Porche and Shelly are 5 votes while Brendon, and JJ are only 3 votes. Dani and Dom need to have a house meeting. They still have time to do something. I don't get why they are giving the game to either BR or JJ without trying.

i thought jeff made a valid point. he wants to make it to jury and if he doesn't then he's going to be pissed off cause he won't get to see jordan for 3 months. however, everyone wants to keep jordan till the end so he may be without her anyways lol BUT i think in his mind that's a valid reason to get upset.

I am looking forward to the change/surprise that is coming to the game this Thursday. Then I could see people flipping and making bold moves.

I do understand that Jeff made a valid point, and it could still happen if BR are put up this coming week. I would like to see JJ in jury house together for the rest of the summer, but I don't care about BR being together. If they are put up together, then one of them go.

Valid point? In gameplay, Jeff's point is about as valid as "nobody gets between me and my man." The other players, and BB, are not here to give JJ some time together. They choose to live in different cities - it's their problem, not ours. For that matter, I don't think anyone is here to give Porsche a summer off work and a ticket to the wrap party.

Jeff's point might not be "valid" but I would rather give them the summer together than give Rachel her dream wedding to Brendan.

i'm watching flashback (way after 'the talk') and jordan is telling rachel that on her season she had no idea who will and boogie were. BB had to teach her was HOH meant and what the veto was. she basically went to BB school lol but she said that after he season she looked them up and she knew will from doctor 90210.
