"Safran-Umm Rachel has won 2 HOH's so far? What makes you think she's can't win? I think everyone is underestimating her." It takes a LOT more than being good at the competitions to win BB....but Rachel doesn't seem to get that. Yes, she could win the next HOH and/or POV but not every single one after that, and I think everyone will be gunning for her because she's too high maintenance to deal with in the stressful BB house, especially without Brendon! He is really the only HG that can "talk her down" from her constant "I'm the victim" whining/crying episodes. She'll be a lot more difficult once Brendon leaves and we all know she'll take it personally. She will be blinded with revenge and she'll go after Dani no matter what her best game option actually is. Even if she did miraculously make it to the f2, she wouldn't win. In fact, I think the only way Rachel could make it to the f2 would be if someone brought her because they figured they could easily win against her. She's good at comps but she is a big fat loser when it comes to the social game. (Note all her wise-ass, sore loser remarks when she's not in power.) She has already alienated some of her own alliance (Jordan was willingly going up against her on the block) and I think the whole house will go after her now that she lost half the power in her "power couple" status. (Well, maybe Porscha will stand by her, but that's about it - she's not close with anyone else at all.) If nothing else, Rachel being put up on the block has taught JJ that aligning themselves with Rachel is a liability. At least that's how I see it!

I disagree I think without Brendon there Rachel will play a much better game. I think she will also play a better social game. I think he is holding her back.

Bama I think Rachel will be very different once Brendon leaves. That relationship is toxic. I want to see Rachel play for herself and not play as a couple. She is trying so hard to be liked that it just makes me crazy. I want her to have some confidence.

I think she just needs to quit with the reality tv stuff altogether and get on with her life. Same for JJ, Dani, and ED. Seriously.

It's money in their pockets, and who says they aren't getting on with their life? Seriously, how many people would turn down an opportunity for a chance to win the big prize?

I know of lots of people who would turn down an opportunity like BB for a chance to win this money, especially when they are protesting that they are oh-so-much in love and want marriage, family, a career, etc.

There's plenty more where they came from, Rosie. Anyone know how many people try? That's why I can't understand the need for retreads or recruiting. And actually, I don't know a soul that would go on BB. lol

big brother would not be enjoyable if it were "normal" people in the house. i was kind of bummed that keith and dick left. i think they would have brought a lot of drama and chaos to the house. i don't care for rachel, but she does add drama and is an emotional roller-coaster. i adore jordan, she just makes me laugh. i do not want a "vet" to win. i want a "newbie" to win. my first choice is adam. adam and shelly for a final 2. i also like posting here after lurking for years and years, it does make the bb experience much much better. even those posters who i disagree with i still like them. who knows maybe next year they be on my side (yes MY side, not THEIR side) anyway, what were we talking about? what thread am i in?

Most people would be so socially awkward as to make the show horrible. You need massive extreme extroverts to be on a show like this... Like way beyond normal, like you might meet one person like that in your life time extreme. Normal people would falter and get trampled over.
