Yes, he got lucky but I have to give him some credit for "diplomacy". He never condemns someone openly and doesn't instigate anyone against anyone. Even with his rival he's cautious, he nods in agreement but you never know what he's really thinking, he plays the moment to perfection, it goes to show you that he's still there. However, it's time to step it up a notch, if he loses again tonight he's definitely dead weight for J/R or P/K for that matter. They'll keep him for numbers or votes, as they say, but eventually he has to take a stand one way or the other and we'll know the true Adam. I must say, if Adam had lost a bit of his cautiousness when he knew what Shelly was doing and "clearly" warned Jeff about it 3 days before DE, the game may have played out differently, but he was too hesitant and thus missed the opportunity to get Shelly and Jeff back in agreement or at least clear the air before it was too late. He could have made a difference and actually caused Jeff to be more confused about Shelly. If only he had a bit more courage to speak up maybe Jeff and Shelly could have come to an agreement without the mess we saw.

Adam, such a sweetheart. I feel protective of him he's too good for all of you!! j/k I hope he does something soon so he doesn't feel embarrassed about his lacklustre participation so far.

If Adam wins HoH and turns on the newbies, he will lose their votes if he's in F2. If he turns on the vets, he will risk losing the vet couples votes. Adam played himself into this corner, but he's still in the game with a chance to win so his game play is not horrible, imo. Adam is playing odds knowing the vets have a 2-1 advantage to win HoH. If they do he will be protected because of the F3 deal. If Kalia wins HoH, he's betting on her to nominate Rachel and Jordan. If one is veto'd off the nomination block, he will have the votes to stay over the remaining vet with Kalia being the tie breaker. It will be a "shocker" if Adam steps up boldly and wins HoH tonight. It's not in his best interest this week unless he's willing to piss off a side and live with the consequences.

Very true Chere. Okay, I hope he steps up on the next HOH for his own sense of being in the game.

I don't think Adam will win HOH tonight. Then he will have to pick a side and he's not willing to show his hand yet. He's been saying all along that he is waiting til F4 to make his moves, but he is waiting too long. I would like him to win HOH to see where he really stands in this game. He's been afraid of his own shadow this whole time. He probably had a game plan when he signed up to be on BB, but once the Vets came into the house, he got sidetracked and star struck.

I don't know the flashback time but last night Adam told the live feed viewers what he is thinking. The long and short of it was he was backing Rachel and Jordan. But I bet if Kalia wins HOH he will lay low. I like him and hope he makes it to final 3 with Rachel and Jordan

I know what he said to the live feed viewers. I don't have to believe him though.

Adam, Adam, Adam. I think he came in as a regular player then stopped dead in his tracks, when Dick showed up. Knowing they now had pairs, Adam had to change up his strategy, so he floated. Not a bad thing, if you have a riot going on in front of you. One thing I liked about Adam was his NOT trashing other HG's...His not sticking around those that did...His keeping from having the leering man pinned on him....His understanding that he could slide from side to side and stay in the game, not going paranoid when he was. Did Adam throw comps?...I don't think so, I think he choked. Adam continued to say he needed to get to final 6...Well he did, and made a bad move for himself when he was a bit gleeful when Porsche won. Then he had to smooth over Rachel and Jordan and he seems to have done that. Adam will not try for the HOH tonight...He knows the HOH would have to decide in a tie and he wants nothing to do with nominating this week. Next week Adam better do something to take charge of his game or he's going to be on the block the rest of the game and might go out. Did he play the game?...Yep...His way... and after all he is in final 5.

I think this HOH comp was for Adam. thinking his weight would have pulled out of the slime better than if you're light but he just didn't! Again he lost... oh well!!!

It looked like Adam was actually trying to win HOH last night. I think he's thrown some contests and lost some he actually tried for. He's a nice guy, but does he deserve to win....NO!

Well, finally!! Now, he has no choice but to show his hand. He could tell Jordan, if I use the POV on Porsche I will vote out Kalia. This way he covers his tracks and Jordan will also be saved. It's risky but it could be done without betraying Jordan.

That wouldn`t work - they`ll want to know why he wants to use veto on P

Did he win POV? If he wants to stick with the Vets it would be stupid for him to use the VETO. If he did win it, he needs to keep them as-is.

I agree Wowprincess. He needs to think of the Jury votes.

What Adam is thinking surely is, "what's the use of me using the Veto when the target is Kalia? Why would Kalia think I'd be using it on her when I have a 2 final deal with Porsche and J/R?". If he uses the veto on Porsche, Adam will vote Kalia out and even if Porsche votes Jordan out, Rachel is still there to split the tie and send Kalia packing and Porsche only made herself a bigger target. Adam would still feel Kalia's wrath in the Jury anyway. Might as well NOT use it and he won't.

adam should have saved porsche. i disagree. rachel may have put jordan out during a tie. jordan has said she didnt want to be out at F3 because you dont get to go to JH. she also has said she doesnt want to win. i really think rachel's arrogance would let her vote out jordan to guarantee the extra jury vote AND her confidence in her OWN ability to win the final comps. she thinks shes superwoman

Adam did well in not using the Veto on Porsche, she understands Kalia is the target anyway and so she's okay with Adam. However, since Adam has lost Kalia's jury vote he may as well tell her that he never had any intention on using it on her, if he had to, Porsche would have come off the block but not Kalia. I'd tell her just to keep her away and stop begging to be saved. What I think about Rachel is that she'll be gone next if she doesn't win VETO and she knows it.

it was adams chance to get rid of Jordan and not get his hands dirty. Surely he knows he will NOT win against her. if i was porsche, i'd be making adam squirm

Adam is under the impression the jury wont vote for Jordan because she`s won before. Vets will vote for her regardless of any previous win.

I think Adam should have saved Porsche. Jordan would go up. If he and Porsche both voted Jordan out, then only A/K/P would compete for the next HOH. Is that right? They could then try to get rid of Rachel, leaving only newbies in the house. The jury wouldn't have the option of awarding first place to a vet. It's the only way a newbie can win. If one of the vets is F2 with a newbie, the vet will win. That's my take on it. It's all moot since he didn't use the veto.

It was his best chance of getting rid of a vet ... I really don`t understand or like his gameplay, if K leaves tonight his best bet at the big money would be against P, certainly not Jordan.

adam KNOWS that the vets have a deal to vote for each other. He only has Jeff's vote IF jordan isnt there. i think Adam is just a coward and he knows Shelley, jeff and the other Vets WILL vote for jordan if she's at end. Like i said in anohter thread, IF adam suddenly is incredibly articulate and Lays out his Amazing plan to play wishywashy, and it was ALL a ploy, Maybe he can win. BUT somehow i think his doubletalk and waffling is real and he is playing for 3rd out LOL

Adam is playing it too safe. His opportunity to make a bold move has passed him by. Oh, well. I think if Rachel can stay alive to F2 she deserves to win. (And I only just hopped on the Rachel fan train a day or two ago.)

My dream scenario - P wins HOH, J wins Veto and votes out Adam.

Adam will finally show his "true" colours when it's down to eliminate Porsche or Jordan. He won't have to do that as he will throw HOH to Porsche and even Veto if he can. After that it's Rachel going and J/A/P will the the last 3. Adam is strong with 2 gals wanting to take him to F2... he could be that lucky!!

Perhaps Adam believes that his best chance to win is against one of the Vets in Final 2. If he's up against Jordan, he can say that she won 1 HOH and he won 2 Vetoes, and do they really want to give her the prize money again? Against Rachel all he has to say is, "Do you REALLY want to give her $500,000?" If he goes against Porsche in F2, she can point to her HOH and Veto wins, while Kalia can point to her 2 HOH wins, and for the Vets winning comps means more, HOH means more than Veto, and they know Jeff "gave" him his first Veto while Kalia and Porsche both EARNED their 2 wins. If that is what Adam is thinking, it may work out for him. I'd give him the money over the Vets, while I'd pick either of the other 2 newbies over him. His best chance at beating the other 2 newbies is if people give it to him because they "like" him more than the 2 gals...which essentially is how he'd beat Rachel.

If anyone is thinking, they'd bring Jordan to the finals. She already won $500 once!

Right, so the chances that she'd win again are pretty slim unless she were to win out...or end up against Rachel. But this is about Adam, and Adam would probably beat Jordan in Final 2 if he still has more comp wins(currently 2 wins to 1,) and nbecause he is liked by everyone. Brendon, Rachel, Dani & Porsche would probably vote Adam over Jordan at this point. If either wins a few more comps, that could swing it clearly in their direction with those 4. Jeff, and probably both Kalia and Shelly would vote for Jordan over anyone. Adam still might have an easier time winning against either Vet than either Newbie for the reason in my earlier post (up 2.)

If anyone is thinking, they'd bring Jordan to the finals. and jeff would be loudly and firmly advocating for jordan because HE is expecting half the money. it was discussed. everyone in the house will side with Strongwilled LOUD jeff because of the way he was robbed (clown shoe) and booted from the house. a Vote for Jordan would be considered a Vote for Jeff ((lots of fun theorizing and presumptions abound LOL))

well, same thing would be if Rachel was F2 with Adam, they'll give the money to Adam because they would think money for Rachel would be money for Brendon...
