It's been raining and stormy in NJ today and I thought I'd lay down and take a nap (Guess where I got that idea from LOL). While I was laying there, I started thinking who I thought should win. We had time to get to know these HGs pretty well by now, so I thought I'd share my thoughts and I hope to see what all of you think. First of all, I start out by saying, Jeff and Jordan have been my favorites, but this year has changed my perception of them. Not all negative, but different. Jeff has changed from his first season. I think his "30 Minutes" of fame has gone to his head. He seems very entitled to me. He's a lot more angry and full of himself. I, also, didn't like his prejudicial comments. I really don't like prejudice of any kind and that turned me off. I know Jordan and Jeff have been together for two years and all that lovey dovey stuff starts to tone down, but I really was uncomfortable with the way he has been treating Jordan. As for Jordan, she is still the sweetest, kindest and naive person she always was, but this year, I don't think she really wants to be there. I really think the reason she agreed to play was so Jeff and her could spend the summer together. She's not really playing the game, although, I think she is more aware of different scenarios than Jeff. Dani is definitely there to play and win. I do think that she is still very immature and can be very rude. I don't find her very likable but I will give her the benefit of a doubt, knowing how her early life was. Raphael and Brenden! What can I say? They are both very toxic together and all I can say is I hope they don't breed (LOL). I can't find anything appealing about either one. They made this year very unpleasant for me when they were on camera. Kalia and Porche. Again, what can I say? Kalia talks, talks, and talks. In between, she eats. Porche just want to be on camera to be discovered. Dominic, Cassie and Keith. AGENTS!!!!! Cassie and Dom might have brought something to the show, but they didn't hang around long enough to see what they could do. Shelly was my least favorite. I can't stand all the phoney butt-kissing. Running to the new HOH every time. I know it's the game, but she is just so obvious. I could go on and on about my dislikes, but she isn't worth my time. Just go back to her corporate world, since that's all she talks about. There's nothing to write about Lawon. He just came and went. So that leaves Adam. He will get my vote this year. He'a a nice guy, Causes no drama, talks to everyone with respect. Not fake. Playing the game the best he can with going against 5 vets from the start. He also makes the best out of every situation. He tries to make everyone laugh with his nerdy antics. Even if they're stupid, he tries to make the game fun. and finally, he LOVES BB and is the ultimate fan. He is so appreciative to be on the show. He loves every experience he has, bad or good. He never complains. He just so grateful to CBS for picking him. When he first came on, I remember how excited he was to be in BB's backyard. He couldn't believe it. It was so refreshing to see someone be so humble. So he gets my vote this year. I hope that you will share your thoughts. I'm curious to see what other people think. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I'd like Shelly to get it because I think she has played hard and long. The fact she has not yet been stopped tells me she has played well, even if underhanded. But I don't recall her being truly mean and hurtful to anyone personally. However, I doubt she'll make it to the end. My next would be Adam -- for the reasons you mention, Lorry.

Adam for sure. I have issues with all of them but at least Adam acts like he is enjoying the experience. There is not a second person I would even consider at this time

As of now, I would go with Adam for the same reasons Lorry. I watched a few of ED's shows the other night and he said it was Adam that drove him nuts the most. he would have committed murder if he stayed. High points... he felt the metal persona was too contrived, the bacon eating, 90210, Tori Spelling, BB superfan... talked about and did impressions of past houseguests all the time. Oh ED, you're such a grouch!

good top post. What it really clearly said is that no one is even playing except Adam and Shelley. I feel shelley's routine would have got her out weeks ago if NOT for JJ's blind acceptance of everything she says. IF a newbie was earmarked to win, I think its adam. He has kept himself under complete control. Has he even seemed the Least bit concerned/ angry/ upset at ANY time?? even when on the block? nope. Its like he knows he is intricate to the plot this season.

Should be Adam. I like him. But it will be one of the Js. Will not be a surprise. Would like it to be Rachel so I can see her ego blow up on tv.

Your post is 100% on..but would love to add my few cents to it I didn't like the fact that CBS brought back BB vets..they had there chance and 3 of the vets won good money on there season to boot. I also got uncomfortable with the R/B romance and fighting but on the other hand I got tired of all J/J love fest on the boards and even in the house with Shelly..Yes! I get it they were America's sweethearts 2 years ago and CBS hasn't let us forget either. Now don't get me started on Shelly..That girl cried for the first 3 weeks with the I want to make my family proud and something happened to her after that phone call because she spits out some nasty venom towards Rachel..That girl eats and sleeps Rachel..she makes me more uncomfortable then R/B. I say its time to move on from the Vets and get more Adams in the house...I so remember the days when the house was full of BB lovers now Its wanna be actors and actresses..

My favorite players this season are Rachel, Adam and Jordan. I do agree that Adam is playing a great if subtle game, letting others make the moves and keeping the target off himself. I love players who love the game as Rachel and Adam do. Tough choice for me at this time. I do hope someone will be smart enough to take Rachel to the end. If so I'd give my vote for America's Player to Adam.

Well since they are all there to win Big Brother,I think every single person there has played the game. As far as America's favorite it will all depend on what America likes as a whole. I like good gamers not specifically comp winners but good strategists(not sure if there are any of those this season). Some people like eye candy and nice people (really don't know why those folks watch BB but whatever).

It depends on if either make it to Final Two, but my vote(s) will either go to Adam or Shelly.

Adam, Rachel or Dani for me, wouldn't be upset if was jj, would absolutely hate Porche or Kalia, to get it, if Shelly wins I would never watch the show again ever ever ever.

Jordan if she doesn't make it to the final two- don't forget this is America's "favorite", not a Best gameplayer award.

Oh my mistake, then Jordon, 100%, she is just the kindest sweetest thing, but can be a little fiesty if need be.

For me it would be either Adam or Jordon. I'd like both of them to win $$$$$ weather it's the winner of the game, second place or Americas choice.

It's gonna be Jeff or Jordan, which is unfortunate because they have the advantage of being well known already, not to mention attractive. However, if America splits its vote, then I think Rachel has a good shot - she is also well known, is getting relatively sympathetic edit, and has the love story going for her too (as America sees it, not as we see it). Dani could get it if Survivor viewers were voting, but BB viewers are more likely to go for Adam I think - but he has to make it until very close to the end, and get enough airtime for America to remember him. Most of what we know about Adam is from the feeds, not from the show - especially his subtle gameplay. I don't think anyone else has a shot.

Lillian, you are right. I didn't take in account that Adam was not getting screen time on CBS. That will probably be a problem for him. Unless you see him day to day, you can't get a good impression of him. Also, I want to thank all that responded. I was really interested in what all of you thought. I see that a lot of you are leaning towards Adam. I really hope he has a chance.

adam.if dom was there longer I would vote for him. I loved his happy personality. Even when he was nominated, he was cool about the whole thing.

Just thinking about TV editing, I'm fairly certain that Jordan would be the winner. That humilitard is just so adorable and she is funny, sweet and real.
