Of course it was JJ before Thursday because Brenchel were still in power but now it doesn't make any difference, Daniele can easily switch from JJ to Brenchel, as long as one of them leaves. The newbies are Dom's jelly fish and so it had to be one of the Vet to do the job. I still can't see why Daniele couldn't stay in their alliance of 5, they would have dominated the house from Day 1, but as it is she wants to be the only one to dominate the house. The short reign of Rachel ends on a very lame note with her not even going to jury! I think that's the real disappointment for her. Brendon is going to be isolated as JJ will have supporters from the newbies and may even forget Daniele her breaking up the 5.

I personally look forward to Rachel's emotional meltdown this week as she realizes she won't make the jury. Why would Dani stick with J/J and B/R? So she can go out in 5th place? She's not playing this game so J/J can have a summer vacay or to pay for B/R's wedding. ITA with her decision to go out on her own.

Dani wouldn't have stayed as long as she did the last time if her dad hadn't been there bullying everyone in the show. And don't forget...that was the year that we had America's choice (or whatever they called it). They were all set to get rid of ED and Eric had to get people to change their minds. America's choice is like when on American Idol they keep trainwrecks just because they can like Sanjaya or even this year's winner.

I'm with Lexie! Totally untrue about Dani winning due to her bullying dad. That helped, but Dani is GOOD at this game. Here are the statistics. She even beat Janelle's record. I think she's matured a lot since her season, too. From her season 8, Daniele won two Head of Household competitions (Week 5 and 7) and five Power of Veto competitions (Weeks 1, 2, 7, 9 and 10), tying Janelle's Big Brother: All Stars record.

So, is it everyone's assumption that Dani will work to get rid of Rachel? I wouldn't be so sure. If Dani is a good player, she will make her decision a strategic one, not a personal one. Getting rid of Rachel may not be as good a strategy as getting concessions from Brenden and her. This might be a good time for Dani to rejoin the Vets.

Gosh I hope not What555. I would like the house to be a bit more even on each side.

I think Rachel is the bigger threat - she's smarter than Brendan, more committed to competition, and has formed relationships. Brendan is out of touch socially and with how the game works, has no relationships, and is far less a competitor than he thinks he is. However, Dani does not vote - the house does, and I think they will go after Brendan because he's ticked more of them off and is usually the cause of Rachel's dramz, and his bragging hides the fact that Rachel is actually smarter and a better competitor.

I'd put up the two male vets. And if one is taken off, then a female goes up. The target should be Brendan. Rachel will implode without him there. She'll alienate them even more. Gosh that would be fun to watch.

Dani's not going to rejoin the vets. Why do it? Be the 5th member of a 4-person alliance? She's smarter than that.

I think Dani's just planning to use the opportunity of nominating BR to act like she's doing JJ a favour and buy a bit of time with them. Also, I think there's a good chance we'd see a much better Rachel without Brendan getting in her way - once she calms down, I think she's a much better player than him, and might actually be driven to do it "for us." In the mean time, I'd hope the other women would open her eyes a bit on what a jerk Brendan is to her.

Michael-- I don't think it is bad to the the 5th member with B/R and J/J -- whether it is Dani or Shelly or someone else. In fact, I think being #5 is the pivotal position to aim for right now. If Dani aligns with B/R and J/J now, they can run the table the next few weeks and make sure the final 5 are B/R, J/J and Dani. When it gets down to only 5, I think B/R and J/J will turn on each other. Dani will then decide which of the two couples win this fight, with a promise that the winning couple takes Dani to the final three. The final three face a 3-part competition, and the Dani (or whomever) can easily be part of the final 2 coming out of that.

Worst thing Dani could do is to realign with those four. Hell, they're already planning her demise next week. Thing is, unless she can rally some support, she's only got Kalia and Lawon (and that's even questionable considering those two). Porsche and Shelley (and Adam to an extent) are busy performing human colonoscopies on JJB and R.

I think Rachel should be the main target to get out. Brendon and Jeff do OK at the physical stuff, but they are not good at the quizzes. So it would be much better to get Rachel out first. You put up Jeff and Brendon, and backdoor Rachel.

I hope she nominates Brendon and Jeff and then if Rachel or Jordan win Veto and take their man down, the other one is put up. That would be ruthless. Oh and I am J&J fans all the way but am ecstatic that Dani won because of the behavior of the others this year. It's okay for them to make side alliances or have a partner but not Dani. I can't even stand her and I'm most sympathetic to her because of how they're treating her.

I think Rachel and Dani together would be a force to be reckoned with... too bad R can't see past her girl genes.

I enjoy watching Rachel. I hope Brendon leaves. I want to see how Rachel does without him.

I posted that awhile ago. I think Dani genuinely wants to partner up with Rachel but she doesn't want an alliance with Brendon because she doesn't want to be bossed around and told how to play.

I agree, Shenanagon and I'm right there with her on that. I'd love a D/R f2.

It won't help that Dani called Rachel an idiot in front of everyone or that she's been saying she's not here to pay for a wedding. Unlesssss ... She tells Rachel that she said that because she thinks she's an idiot for taking Brendan's bullying, and she (Dani) knows what she's talking about. Then she just needs to butter up Rachel's competitive side and be a bit of a girlfriend to her, and it's a slam dunk I think.

That could work, Lillian. Say what you will about Rachael, but to me, she's more reasonable than JJ (especially minus Brendon) and she's less likely to hold a grudge. This girl want to win, no doubt about it.

Rachel could use a girlfriend like Dani to help her be more relaxed and less "in your face".

Shen, Rachel is in desperate need of girlfriends - I think she would truly love to have girls to talk with etc, which is why she's so attached to Porsche. All Dani needs to do is get her away from Brendan and be a little bit nice to her.

Rachel HAD Dani to help her relax and even coach her on when not to hold onto anger or be so wounded (Brendon just makes it worse by blaming her and bullying her).. but Rachel couldn't take that and latched onto Porsche who is smart enough NOT to truth tell.. in other words she'll happily use Rachel by posing as a friend. Dani was too honest. But once they booted Dom, Dani wouldn't and shouldn't trust a word they say. Dani has very little choice of staying in the house very long unless Dom comes back and works with her, but I sure hope she takes out Brendon, Rachel or Jeff this week. The newbies clearly HAD the power to make decisions but most of them went the route of thinking they could be that one newbie to ally with the vets and be special and I suspect, they saw themselves as the one person who could claim to have taken out the vets. But of course too many of them went in that direction, just giving the vets total control.

If Brendon leaves (goes home, NOT sequester!), Rachel will have FUN in the house... Brendon will literally go NUTS watching her & not being able to stop/control her. I BET he'd make lists of everything she did/said & they'd "discuss" them all, one at a time! She would enjoy her time without him... (but she'd pay later!)
