Shelly said, to Rachel and Jordan, "I do not believe in this but, I will tell you in front of God, my husband, and my little girl who mean everything to me, I absolutely will not go against the two of you." Question: Does the the first line mean she doesn't believe in what she is about to say, or does it mean she doesn't believe in sort of swearing on people in general but I will so I can convince you?

My feeling is that Shelly knew going in that producers had been letting fans have more and more influence on the show and knew that the audience tended to be harsher on women playing the game, so she planned to give very little away in the DR. Then when J/J ended up in the house, she knew that she HAD to get on their side and stay there, because any fan support would automatically go to them. I also suspect that she stepped up her game to get Jeff out after she thought she was in the clear after Brendon's return. The fans had had their opportunity to interfere and she had survived. Now she could be a little more open about her game playing. That's all a guess based on nothing other than looking for an explanation of why such a smart, controlling woman would sit in the DR and claim that she had never lied in the game and was completely loyal to JJ. I've decided she's either Keyser Soze or a delusional freak. I kinda want her to be in final 2 against Rachel to see if she'll drop the mask and flaunt her skills in order to garner the votes.

She constantly swears on her family and God. It is almost meaningless by now. She always says she is there for her family to have a better life or something. Why does her family count more than the other houseguests' families? They are giving up time with their loved ones also to try to win the money. Shelly talks about her lavish lifestyle, says she doesn't need the money, then she says she has to do this to save her family. She is full of contradictions. I wonder if she will be evicted tomorrow night. I don't think she can be trusted in anyone's alliance.

This is just kinda odd. My 5 year old, who never really pays attention to anything I might have on TV was in the room when Shelly was on. She asked me why did she look like a lady but talk like a man.

Great time to talk to your 5 year old about the effects of smoking.

Shelly's voice is a little husky, probably from smoking one cigarette after another. I don't know how she can stand being on lockdown for a whole day when she seems to be a chain-smoker. Has she ever said how many cartons of cigarettes she brought in to the house? I know she said once that Jeff smoked 3 cartons of her cigarettes. She looks very gaunt and hardly eats anything. It is amazing that the women who get on this show don't know how to cook! Porsche never made cookies before the other night. I haven't seen Shelly cook, Rachel just mixes up concoctions that sound awful, Kahlia makes French fries. Jordan never cooks.

She is bored and nervous, 2 reasons many people chain smoke. I'm sure she doesn't smoke near as much outside the house. She is a business woman and very few office buildings allow smoking. She's very clean, so I would think she doesn't smoke inside her house. She says she travels to China, not less than an 14 hour flight, and I know of no commercial airlines that allows smoking.

I have heard Shelly say many times that she has smoked more in the BB house than she ever does out side of it. I have no doubt that it's true.

I smoke so much more since I retired. When working and busy a pack would last me a few days. Off work I don't want to admit it but hubmonster has noticed that I am smoking alot more so for Shelly being trapped in the house, I could see myself doing the same thing.

i smoke, i was in the hospital from late january to early march. didn't bother me in the least not to smoke until i started feeling better. first hospital no smoking at all (there 9 days) second hospital i was able to convince them that i was a much better patient if they would take me out to smoke, they did 3 times a day and i was a much better patient, 3rd hospital was a convalescent/rehab so i had to walk outside (i use a walker) so i had to work to get that cig. yeah i know it's bad for me, but it's my decision and i am not ready to quit.(i wasn't in the hospital for any smoking related illness) if i were shelly and on a long lockdown, i would be in the commode lighting up, at least i would get a couple of puffs before getting caught. my feeyaan-SAY smokes and speaks very much like a man

not after what i've read about the effects of Nicotine on the body. but i'm not going to lecture... anyone can Google "Nicotine and Cancer " here is a quick cut n paste However, nicotine and the increased cholinergic activity it causes have been shown to impede apoptosis, which is one of the methods by which the body destroys unwanted cells (programmed cell death). Since apoptosis helps to remove mutated or damaged cells that may eventually become cancerous, the inhibitory actions of nicotine may create a more favourable environment for cancer to develop, though this also remains to be proven.[59] when women have cervical cancer, smoking seems to really affect the condition.

It is not necessarily the smoking. I am one year older than she is, have smoked since I was 14, and I don't sound anything like that. And I've known plenty of smokers who don't either. Someone said a while ago that Shelly said she had a hysterectomy and that can do that to your voice. And some women just have naturally low voices--"whiskey voices." Smokers face enough stigma and discrimination these days. Just leave us be, please!

I've had a hysterectomy and my voice never changed. My neighbor is 40 and has smoked since she was a teenager and she doesn't have a deep voice. I just think Shelly's voice is the way it is and that's that. I had a friend in High School that had a deep raspy voice. She was really pretty also.

Early in the season I'd have live feeds on and be working in the kitchen and wonder which of the guys was talking and come to the computer and see it was Shelly. Happened many times until I finally was able to recognize her voice.

At first I thought it meant she didn't believe in God. But upon reflection, I think it means she doesn't believe in swearing to God. JMO

I thought Shelly was complaining in the house that she hates the fact that smoking has deepened her voice.

Shelly is a walking contradiction. She loves her daughter but smokes like a banshee. She sends her daughter to private religious school but swears to god on lies. She's "blessed" with a great career, has great jobs for her house mates, has a big house with ponds travels to China for her suits but needs to BB $$$$ to help her family. She loves Jordon and Jeff and wants to help them win the game but votes Jeff out...she's so untruthful about every single aspect that she talks about in this house.

Smoking has totally deepened my voice. I also think that Shelly works in a man's world and therefore her demenor, her walk is tough because she needs to be taken seriously by the men she does business with every day. I'm not sure how much the rod in her back has to do with her gait as well. I know a lot of very feminine women who talk and walk rough and tough. It's who she is.
