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. Jeff and Jordan have said several times that saying this is strategic to make them appear less threatening as a couple. The intent is to make others feel like they won't be upset if they get evicted once jury starts because all they want is to spend the summer together. The strategy is flawed because the vets have been winning since day one, but if they were on the losing side it might have been decent strategy. I agree J/J have been laying it on thick and it's making them appear entitled, but I have no doubt that they're in it to win it.

OMG Pot calling kettle black. Brendon just called Dani an egomaniac!

Reader the key difference to last year's brigade is that no one knew about the core alliance, so all the side alliances were seen to be primary alliances by people like Ragan. Everybody knows about the vets alliance, so the strategy isn't working. Mind you, I don't think that's what BRJJ are trying to do - I think they have become very cocky because they have won almost everything, and have yet to taste what it's like on the other side - and apparently have completely forgotten their previous seasons. Chere, that makes some sense if the aim is to appear laid back and more interested in each other than winning. Only Jeff is blowing it - if he were playing it like last year or like Jordan this year it might have worked. But by throwing his weight around, it might very well make people purposely want to keep them apart as much as possible.

And Shelly keeps hammering home that Dom will say anything to try to save himself - so don't believe him. She also has no problem saying that she never said something (that she really did say) and still come off as very believable. So, they will just use this as more ammunition against Dom - "he's making false accusations" or something.

I don't think it really matters what anybody says, the vets don't want Dom there because they fear he is too strong a player physically. Adam is the weaker player for the comps.

Lillian - I agree, I know what I'm thinking, just having a hard time getting the words out here!! The vets are cocky for winning, and for having the numbers - they did have a strategy- but Dick was the leader, so now they dont have a solid plan - I guess I can see a similarity to the Brigade, but it is flawed obviously - maybe its natural for me, because of the duo system I do see a major twist coming up tho - not quite a coup de tat - but I'm sure AG is not happy with the feedback she's getting - I love reading the twitter - and seeing some of the feedback! there are a lot that retweet to AG! ITA Muffin... we want to see Dom there for that very reason - he would shake it up, he would be a puppet for Dani, and he's good with that -

Dom is disarming in that he never lets on what he is really thinking or feeling, which drives them nuts! The only emotion allowed from anyone other than the vets is fear. Followed by 'loyalty'(throwing comps) and 'trust'(voting for the vets to win). Dom has trouble feigning any of those while Shelly knows how to suck it up and spit it out and Kalia lays low wondering when her next meal will be. Porsche is a velour encrusted lap dog that thinks she is actually playing for a Movie of the Week deal, Lawon is completely lost so he is harmless and Adam has been waiting for an invitation to play the game while making an alliance with bacon. So yeah, it's not surprising that Dom is enemy number one. He is the only other person NOT playing for the vets to win it all. Embarrassing season, BB.

I think a lot of us are having problems with the vets thinking they are more important or more valuable people. Sure, they have won more comps, nobody is denying that. My problem is: as a vet, they should be seen as LESS deserving, ie: they've already HAD their chance. The way Rachel thinks they should worship her simply because she's HoH, & Brendon says "I" instead of "you" when SHE'S HoH, makes it difficult to even watch them.

A good strategy for the vets would have been to act like they all hate each other but are scared to put them on the block, but secretly work together and get busy forming their own faux alliances. It looks like Dick was going in that direction, and I think he and Dani could have pulled it off, but the rest of them are just too bad actors or impatient or overly competitive or clueless. Take your pick who I mean in the last part of that lol.

Laj, totally agree with your assessment. Especially the part about Adam's alliance with bacon.

LOL Rosem....and it's not even a secret alliance! I mean, who would have ever thought a fat Jewish boy would be in an alliance with bacon? He had the perfect ploy and he ruined it. I wish they would bring back sock monkey and Franklin as a dynamic duo. It's the only way to save this season.

If Brendan wins HOH it will be more same old same old, because everyone will likely continue to play as before. The only exception will be Dani - Shelly and Porsche will assume they are good without the key, and not change their game (or lack thereof). If JJ win, things will barely change either I think. What we really need is for Dani or a newbie to win, because then it's a whole new game.

Gee, I am sorry to see so many hate this season. I am loving it, but then I've liked every season, even BB9 which almost everyone hated. BB12 is my least favorite.

Unless the newbie with the brownest nose pulls it off. Then s/he'll eat another of their own and put another screw in the coffin that is Season 13. Lajonesin, I've passed snark and moved to cynicism. Next up- surgery to dislodge my eyes from the top of my head.
