Deciding where you want to live, in which city, can be a serious problem, and Jordan and Jeff don't seem to agree on that, so yes, it's quite possible they don't last.
More often than not, you never get to see a couple's relationship behind closed doors. In this case, Brendon and Rachels relationship has been exposed. He constantly pulls her down and knocks her self esteem out of her. Maybe after her friends and family see what their relationship is like, they will be able to confront her with her, with examples.
Last summer they were in a budding romance, but this year, after one year together, I saw a real difference as well as everybody else. Maybe her good friend, Ragan, can clue her in.

Dani will fight tooth and nail for Jordan not to be the first two timer winner, especially since she was carried by Jeff the first year and both Jeff and Rachel this year. Dani could be very convincing and she will vote on gameplay. She could sway the newbies that Jordan doesn't deserve that honor.
Even after Jeff got rid of Dani, when she got to the jury house and Brendon asked her who she would like to see come in next, she said Adam because he hasn't played much. She didn't necessary want Jeff to be out. I think she is less bitter than everyone here thinks. She walked into that house with a big smile on her face. Even Brendon welcomed her, and not in a mean way.
I really like Jordan as a person, but not as a BB player who deserves to win twice, although in the beginning I did, but her attitude during the tough competitions turned me off. She quit with the first sign of pain. She allowed Rachel to do all the work for both of them. Without the PB twist, she would be sitting in the jury house now.

I have a solution for J/J. Jeff has big city dreams, Jordan has little white picket fence dreams. They move to Atlanta,Pittsburg, somewhere in Mayland..so many options..on the outskirts. Not the west coast. Jordan gets her quiet home life and Jeff gets to go into the city everyday to make his real estate dreams come true. Both have to travel to see their parents, but not across county.

LOL Mummy, then I think you should call them after the show ends and explain to them what you think they should do. I still think Jeff wants something in the entertainment field, and the best place for that is L.A. But, you need the talent and connections to make it in L.A.
By the way, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at the thought of you making that call with your advice. I don't think Jeff will listen.

I have a question. Can Brendon work and earn money while working on his Phd? He has worked in labs I think and at a hospital, but does he get paid for doing that.

All the HG's know Dani's angry, mean face by now. They had to heed that face/expression in the house. In jury, they don't have to follow anymore.

Muffin I am just saying it is a third option this year that has never been an option before. I think they will consider it. Not saying they will vote that way. Just saying with bringing back two past winners (yeah ED left early), there is a temptation to make BB history.

If it was ED at this point in the game would you think the jury would consider making history? ED was moved along by America's player (carrier along, could be used). Jordan moved along by staying low. Who was more responsible for their win? Someone pushed by America's vote? Or someone just hanging in, trying to not make enemies, and pulling out comp wins at the end.

Just my random thoughts.

Muffin, Rosem you both make me think and I love that about this board and both of you. I just don't understand why people don't see this as a three way decision given how this year was cast.

Ph.d students in the sciences are normally paid a stipend to do their research. They receive free tuition and healthcare. $20,000 - $30,000, not a lot, but it's an income. If Rachel gets a decent job, they'll be fine. Maybe struggling, but OK.

Jadedone, thanks for that answer. I don't know anyone going for a Phd to ask, so I was wondering.

Muffin, I only mouth off here.....but if Jeff really wants acting....and I don't think he does.... let them move to Jersey, Maryland, Long Island. Plenty of acting jobs over the river in NYC.

The real estate market has been down for several years. Meanwhile Jeff has had opportunities to make money out side of real estate. I can't fault him for that. And I can't say this is his ultimate dream.

Did Colby give up a mil on Survivor to wait years for a hosting gig in TLC? Not without back up.

Making BB history is always very exciting especially if you are the winner of that record. It's a shot in the dark whether they would think that way, but I feel this jury won't want to give a two timer honor to someone who didn't live up to the title. But, and there is always, a but, we don't know how bitter the jury is this year. Furthermore, if Rachel ends up in the F2 with Jordan, there will be lots of talking and convincing going on betweeen Jeff and Brendon. That in itself has never happened before.Not only would Rachel and Jordan have to make their case to the jury, but 2 of the jurists, Br and Jeff will also be making their reasons vocal in the house. They are the partners and could directly benefit from either of them winning.

Ph.D. students do not get free tuition. The only ones that get free tuition are the ones that get full scholarships. These are few and far in between.

There will be more action going on in the jury house than in the BB house. I would rather watch that, than the BB house itself.

What does Jeff want to do in real estate. Does he want to be a real estate salesman or does he want to invest himself and buy and sell his own real estate. The market is not good in Ca. My son lives there.

Rehtse, notice that I said in the sciences. I agree that most PH.d students do not get paid, but they do in the sciences. They are "hired" as teaching assistants and researchers. I have personal experience with this. Brendon is in a Bio-Physics program at UCLA and is most likely receiving a stipend.

TY Muffin, I guess I just wanted someone to say it was possible. Never believed it was more than a shot in the dark. But this jury does have three choices.

Who really remembers who was in the jury? Seriously, we can all google it, but off the top of our head? Crown a two time winner and your votes will be remembered.

Many of them want to be remembered for doing something ........not giving someone a dream wedding. Heck Rachel can get that with second place. If Jordan gets final two she doesn't even get to spend the full summer with Jeff on vacation. Regardless of the stories they have put out, all of them have been there to win.

Anyone getting to final two is deserving of the win....well except Natalie.

I was paid. I knew very few PH.d students in the sciences who weren't paid. There were always students who were accepted and not offered stipends, but most of them ended up transferring to a university where they would be paid. That was years ago, but my son is currently in a PH.d program where he is being paid for his research in Chemistry.

And all of his classmates, Ph.D. students who either conduct research or teach, get free tuition? Not at the institution that I work for...that's all I am saying.

You do have a good point mummy. We'll know in 2 weeks what they are thinking and what they based their vote on.

Jordache stressing about Adam. They still don't trust him and are afraid if he wins veto he'll pull Porsche off and Adam and Porsche will vote out Jordan.

They are really pinning their hopes on either J/R winning veto, not trusting Adam to keep the noms the same.




Never will happem but it sure would make this week interesting if it did :-)

Who exactly benefits by voting for Jordan to be the first time winner...except Jordan? If I were on the jury I'd be of a mind to not vote for her just for that reason. I don't think anyone would remember who voted for her to win in a couple of months, just that Jordan won it twice.
