I think the difference is that Adam wasn't trying to secure anything with the necklace. He offered it as a sign of his loyalty, to demonstrate that he doesn't intend to betray Jordan. Adam holds the veto, Jordan's fate is in HIS hands. Not using the veto is enough to demonstrate his loyalty but he didn't want Jordan to worry in the days leading up to the meeting. Theoretically, the offering of the necklace was a gesture of kindness. (I say theoretically because I find it a little creepy, but that's just me.)

Shelly offered the ring as an attempt to convince Rachel to keep her. Shelly's fate was in Rachel's hands so the action roused greater suspicion (suspicion that proved to be valid). It was a ploy by a desperate Shelly to stay, and not offered from any other place but as a means to fool Rachel, who was assumed to be easily swayed by shiny objects. The fact that Rachel didn't fall for it indicates that there is more to Rachel than Shelly gives her credit.

BTW, I thought Shelly's move was a perfectly valid attempt to stay in the game...it just didn't work and it's kinda funny that she really thought it might.

Rachel's dress (& most of her clothes) reminds me of a retired lady in Florida, possibly one who might live in an Over 55 Only Mobile Home Park. When she wears her short sparkly numbers I am reminded of Rennie, who "wore it well!"

So what does the retired over 55 Florida lady who lives in a mobile home wear?

Stereotyping?

I will NOT miss how Kalia always says "I'm like'AHhhhhhhhhhhhhh". In a high-pitched, opera voice, or.... She does the same thing in a low-pitch growly voice... Can't.come.soon.enough!

I see a LOT of retired ladies at my mother-in-law's mobile home park. They wear stuff similar to what Rachel is wearing, sans the nice store-bought cleavage. Is it stereotyping if it's true? (at least in MY personal experience). It's been said before here---- she wears things that remind us of Mrs Roper from "Three's Company". We see it all the time in movies/tv. I will be there soon enough, just not yet!

Onlyhuman just said exactly what I was thinking. The difference between Adam offering a necklace, Shelly offering a ring, Danielle offering access to her father, and Porsche offering a phone call from Janelle is that Adam is offering the necklace to reassure Jordan. He's the one in power. He's not trying to get her vote. He's reassuring her that he won't use the POV. The other gifts were all offered in an effort to get someone's vote. There's a huge difference.

Scuba:
It's not JUST a "Florida" thing, I'm in California & I was actually thinking more like Palm Springs... but thought Florida is more well-known since East Coasters seem to flock there in their golden years... Fran on The Nanny was always talking about her parents retiring & moving "to Boca!". I always picture that older orange woman on "There's Something About Mary".

The Star of David is a Jewish symbol and should not be used in the manner in which Adam used it,
. I am offended by that.

Cali, I would not know, LOL, never met, don't know a retired 55 year old retired woman from Florida who lives in a mobile home :-)

I do recall Mrs Roper but in UK it was called "Man about the House" I do believe both Mrs Ropers were similar in character and similar in how they dressed.

I like Rachel's dress .... it looks kind of Grecian to me and it looks good on her ... MHO .. I am not into most of what Rachel wears.

I fit into the over 55 category, but I do not live in Florida!

Scuba-- I'm sure the dress would look smashing on you! I just think a gal in her 20's is a bit young to wear that fabric/style/print... It's cute, but more for her mother perhaps? At least her fanny is covered...;-)

That's funny that they were just talking about the movie "European Vacation" and none of them know (or just didn't mention) Sheila from BB9 was in the movie.

I didn't know that Kalia is an actress. I thought she was a writer. Is this the first time she has spoken about being an actress?

O M G, I don't think I've ever seen anyone like this.

I am now beginning to feel great sympathy for those in the jury house.

No, Way, she's talked about it a lot...she has been in touring companies and things like that.

And she also put on a great performance last night :-)

Thanks Keldogg. I must have zoned out when she talked about it before. After a while her voice sounds like white noise.

Do you think they'll bring Adam back if they have an Allstars season?

What is Kalia planning on showing Adam later after everyone is asleep that no one knows about? Do you think it's the chess pieces? LOL

eta: (I say that because she just told him she has something to show him after everyone is asleep that no one knows about)

Onlyhuman is right, insurance & reassurance are two different things.

Sorry you're offended Muffin. I think A takes his faith very seriously & I doubt that he meant to mock it or its symbols.
