No now I am wondering why she wanted to keep Rachel in the first place. It turned out to be a horrible play. In hindsight the fact that she tried to save Rachel is absurd. If people want to give her credit for making a massively dumb move i will let them. It would have happened anyways but if people want ti give her credit for a really really bad move that turned out even worse than I will let them. Really though it was just a matter of the vets controlling the newbies. I think anyone would be hardpressed to say keeping Rachel was only a good move for rachel. It has killed Shelly. She has no trust besides jj and Adam and she and Adam take a step back w brendon coming back. I said it when shelly first started it. She was overplaying and moving too soon. In fact I was saying she was making the same mistake dani made. Problem is she can't win comps like dani. I don't really give her credit but since it has turned into s potential top 10 bad move of all time I will certainly now capitulate to those who felt she deserved so much credit the last few days. I suspect Brandon or Rachel will make final 2 now and I guess they can thank shelly if they want. People want to give shelly credit for manipulating the other newbies. Problem is the vets have been doing that since the beginning to all the newbies including shelly. She is just more clumsy about it and since she had not done much people hit excited. I will give her credit when it is due. I gave kalia credit and u don't like her at all. I actually used to gate shelly because she was so boring. I find her much more interesting and entertaining the last couple weeks but she has not done anything to point out. I take that back shr totally had kalia convinced she was an ally. That is good work even if kalia is one of the worst people readers of all time. She blew all that hard work saving Rachel though which again makes no sense? Why would shelly essentially blow all her ammunition saving Rachel who she was not even in an alliance with...

shelly tried to save rachel because rachel is on her side. shelly is playing with JJ and adam, which means she is also playing with rachel. JJ/adam/Rachel/shelly vs Dani/Kalia/Lawon/Porsche 5 against 4. Shelly successful convinced kalia to put up one of her own and getting them evicted to make it 5 against 3. while she originally wanted porsche, it ended up being lawon - no biggy. shelly started the wheels spinning in kalia's head. still not sure how that was a bad idea. and now that brendon is back - dani/kalia are back to focusing on him and rachel and NOT shelly. if anyone but dani/porsche would have won HOH then it would have been 6 against 3.

Dawn bringing back someone is a very strong competitor and someone who supersedes you in your alliance is a massive backfire. Of course if shelly is playing for sixth place it is not bad but I am basing my judgment in her wanting to win. From the standpoint of shelly winning keeping rachel and brendon is a massive backfire.

I think it could turn out to be a good move. Someone was coming back. Why not leave Rachel so you are safe a few more weeks? Leave Lawon, and Dom comes back, Shelly might have been next.

I guess we just see it differently Mark, and that's okay. It's why we don't have just one political party, and why we have so many different genres of music and literature, because we have individual likes, dislikes, ideas, and so on. It's what makes us the human race. Some people see apples and some see oranges, but in BB no one is wrong, or right, it's how the balls bounce that count.

It's probably a given, that Shelly knows that the 2 sides will go after each other. Banging out one each side, pushes Shelly further in the game. One thing I notice is that Jordan is floating towards the end. NOBODY wants to "hurt" Jordan and that's a huge mistake.

i will laugh so hard if jordan makes it even to final 3-4 lol but i wonder where dani stands with her now. at the beginning dani flat out told rachel that she would LOVE to sit at the final 2 with jordan because no one would give her the money again.

But you have to give her credit Csnog. It worked once and everyone in that house know it, but they love her, she is a sweetie. None of them want to be accused of kicking out BB's sweetheart.

IF Jordan makes it to final 2, she has a good chance of winning again. I do not see her making it though.

I know EM and that may bite them in the a.. Kalias' entire game last week was because she didn't want Jordan to be hurt/mad at her. It was because of that, that Shelly was able to get in Kalias' head.

Most people didn't think she could pull it off last time either Mama, but it isn't us who have to decide it's the people in that house. Jordan is the least of their worries right now and they are not really focused on her.

Porsche won the wine stealing contest last week By the way I don't want people get me wrong and feel like I am picking on shelly. There has been very little inspired gameplay this season. Vets win comps and tell newbies what to do. Nobody so far deserves an all star appearance based on this season so far. Rachel might get most credit so far because she won two hohs and made everyone think she was do scary and crazy they would not vote her out. Not the stuff of legends.http://

Exactly so Shelly is also using the fear of kicking out Jordan against the others, and that is game play. You have to use the weapons you have not the weapons you'd like to have. It's easy for us, armchair quarterbacks, to sit and say what we would do, but when push comes to shove, what you would do could change with just one single incident. Being able to regroup your play after a flare up or eviction is not easy and Shelly has really been stellar in doing this. I would never be so bold as to say she will win, but I would like to see her in the finals, because I think she has earned it,so far...that doesn't mean she might not do something to tomorrow that will "piss" me off and I will want her head served on a platter...but that is BB.

good morning everyone do we know who Dani wants up yet? Shenanagon, she keeps saying she's putting up Brenchel; if Brendon wins POV; Jeff is going up and out. The problem with this plan is that once again, HOH doesn't have the votes to decide who goes home. When will Dani/Kalia realize to split the other side, they have to put Shelly up against whomever they want out. J/J would keep Shelly over Brendon and they would be outed that their real alliance is not with Brenchel, pushing Rachel over to the other side.

I thought I read somewhere Rachel was the first out of the HOH competition and the final two were Dani and Porsche. So Porsche almost won.

Porsche has been instructed to mind the SR for wine and to hide it in a cabinet.

Porsche is getting too little credit. She and Adam have had an F2 agreement since week 2 or 3. Her behavior and associations have everything to do with that. She badmouths him and he badmouths her, but each protects the other quietly when danger is there. The "high 5" in the hall and very few words told the whole story.
