I thought their plan was to string Dani along as if they are still with her but then boot her next week as soon as she loses the key.. and to convince her not to try for HOH. I'd want Jeff out, too. But she shouldn't have trusted anyone to say that. I'm SURE Jeff won't ever admit (until they all see the shows) that he and Jordan discussed backdooring R/B and R/B will not reveal that they DID consider backdooring J/J. But Dani isn't "allowed" to give it a thought, just as none of the newbies are allowed to have a thought other than to support the couples. They are labelled snakes and other lovely terms if they do. This is really the worst idea ever.. Brendon, Rachel and Jeff are arrogant and insufferable. Jordan's most used "word" is still "Wool" which is a space filler that probably means "well". Sigh.

Why don't the newbies & Dani stage a protest: Tell BB that they love the vet couples SO much, & naturally they DESERVE it more than the others, so just give each of the 4 people 500k... We can all grab our life vests and call it a wrap... It's not rocket science!!

I don't agree with Brendon's definition of a great season. ("the veterans come in and clean out all the newbies")

These sessions are so drawn out. They discuss the issue and then reiterate it a zillion times. Brendon recaps over and over.

So, Brendan absolutely does not believe Daniele. Both guys were stringing her along, while Rachel and Jordan just listened.

The plan was to make Dani feel comfortable with the group again so maybe she wouldn't try to hard for HOH or put them up if she won it. They definitely don't believe anything she said.

And I think we all know Dani will totally try and probably win HOH this week. She rocks at endurance. And I don't want her to win.

Brendon did put me to sleep.Now I need to move to the bed. Dani knows she sunk Dom's chances. If Dom wants to do something, he ought to work on uniting whoever is left to work as a unit. Dom is depressed and Dani feels so guilty. She told him so.

I agree Closet....Dani has an edge if it is endurance... I hope it is NOT something to benefit her!

Jordan and Rachel are convinced that if anyone other than Dani is HOH, they will be able to persuade them about who they can put on the block. Wow.

Seamonkey, Actually Jeff did tell Brendan and Rachel that they talked about putting them up last week but said it would have been a dumb thing to do.

And just to spin it around... This is the game. The people with the power always feel righteous. The problem is the newbies have essentially won nothing. So they can't really say or do anything about it. Talk is cheap. You can talk about having the balls to put someone up, but the fact is none of them has won anything. That is putting the proverbial cart before the horse. The newbie alliance should have been more focused on winning a comp before making plans on who they were going to backdoor. That mistake is on them. Making detailed plans when you have never had the ability to do anything could also be considered arrogant. I am not trying to defend the vets, I am just saying the newbies have played a very poor game, and in the last few days Dani blew her game to smithereens. So while people might get upset with the arrogant and haughty couples, they are the only ones doing anything in the game so far. They all knew they had targets on their back from the beginning. They had no choice but to be aggressive. None of the veterans could afford to sit back and take it easy. If Dick did not quit, that would have been the same for Danielle. She was afforded the ability to slow down and work different angles, and then she devalued a lot of that work by overplaying. The bottom line is nobody on the newbie side should have been worried about backdooring anyone. They could have just said we are together, let us win a comp and figure out what to do. That can't come back to bite you on the backside. The vets have been planning and scheming but they have had the power the whole time. The people with the power should be planning and scheming. The people without the power should be focused on getting it. Not worried about what they are going to do the next five times they get it. That is especially true in this house because the newbie side has NEVER won.

Marksman... That was one of the best posts found on this board. I dislike how the season has progressed, but you hit the nail on the head. Watching the newbies is like watching someone build a building out of jello. They've never had the structure nor the discipline of the veterans. My wife hit it, the very first show when Shelly said that she (and I assume Cassie was in on this as well) decided they weren't going to try to win the first competition for HOH. My wife said, "That's not how you should approach this season". The newbies blew from day one and its gotten worse from there... With an assist from Danielle and her "magic bus" of strategy. [eye-roll]

Well said Marksman. The newbies first big mistake was not sticking together. If week one they would have stayed together and booted Porshe then the Vets would have one less vote. But the newbies made the rookie mistake of flip flopping and floundering failing to see the bigger picture. All because the vets were able to manipulate enough of them to vote their way. Dom did win a POV last week that saved his butt but in order to make a difference......the newbies have to start winning HOH to have a say in who stays and who goes. AS far as the "arrogance" of the vets..........it is not really arrogance if you can really pull off what you say.......it is fact and so far the vets have won everything (except 1 POV) and been able to intimidate and manipulate the newbies..thereby backing up their arrogant words with action.

I'm SURE Jeff won't ever admit (until they all see the shows) that he and Jordan discussed backdooring R/B and R/B will not reveal that they DID consider backdooring J/J. But Dani isn't "allowed" to give it a thought, just as none of the newbies are allowed to have a thought other than to support the couples. They are labelled snakes and other lovely terms if they do. J/J considered nominating R/B after the veto blow up between Jeff and Rachel, but it was just talk and nothing more. It never developed beyond the two of them in HoH room. J/J considered it, decided it was a bad move and moved on. Case closed. Dani gave the backdoor Jeff plan more than just a thought. She saw an opportunity after the luxury comp and ran with it thru the weekend until an hour before the veto ceremony on Monday. She even recruited Dom and Kalia into her plan without making sure R/B were fully on board. No one is saying Dani should not play her own game. Dani's backdoor Jeff plan made sense, but it was too soon to make that move even though Jeff was ripe for the picking. Dani overestimated her influence over R/B and she got burned. Meanwhile, she ruined Dom's game while hers is on life support and in need of an HoH win to turn it around.
