*High 5* Judy! That's the brilliancy of this duo. They play to their own strengths and don't worry about the others weaknesses (Jordan worries enough about her own weaknesses for them both). They are polar opposites with 1 common goal...well 2. Keep themselves safe is 1 and the other is to make it to the end...maybe together maybe not together.

Jordan. No way would I want to see her win anything. She hid behind Jeff through most of the game. Now, she is beginning to be more vocal, but hasn't shown any great game play. Now, she is hiding behind Rachel.

I have a question about Jordan's game: is it really 'strategy-gameplay' if that's just Jordan's normal everyday personality? I mean, Jordan is a sweet, simple, kind girl who is good at reading people. She is friendly... So....Is it 'game' or is it just how she IS? And if it IS just how she is, is THAT considered 'strategy? I'm honestly asking it, I'm even asking myself--- & actually do not know my answer...yet... Ideas?

The thing is..Rachel did the same thing to Jordan...Jordan was right in Shelly's face and Rachel was pulling her away..Who knows what was going to happen next? Also think it was Rachel that things go(Like knowing Shelly had her puppy)...Jordan was NOT talking to Dani,Shelly Kalia or Porche when they got Jeff out...now Yes, Rachel cried but she let go of it pretty quickly..So in my book..Jordan and Rachel played the same Social game.

I meant to say that Rachel let things go for the sake of the game...

I think maybe she really misses Jeff and she feels bad that she didnt win either the veto or the HOH that could had saved him. Hopefully Miss Rachel will snap her out of it.

What I like about R & J is that they were there for each other in their time of need. When the going got tuff...they remained together and helped each other thru it. They have a bond that no others in that house have. It's genuine and as they said up there...each one has their own strengths and weaknesses and the other one makes up where the other one lacks. them!

I love the fact that Rachel has a real concern for Jordan..When Jordan leaves the room ..Rachel checks in on her..Includes her in on things..I don't remember Jordan doing that for Rachel when Brendon left...not putting down Jordan down..Its just not once did Rachel say she was or is babysitting Jordan...Jordan told more then Jeff that!

I don't think Jordan knows how to be anyone but herself. I've never seen Jordan do anything that wasn't "her" in either of her seasons. I'm not ready to vote Jordan into sainthood or anything, but she really is sweet, kindhearted and is good at reading people because she actually LISTENS to others. You can see the wheels turning inside other HG's heads when someone is talking strategy to them...but when Jordan sits and listens, her eyes are focused on the person and she is really listening to what the person is saying without thinking of how she will respond. She takes it all in and sometimes takes a moment or two to process before she answers... The other think I like about Jordan is she does try to think of others before herself. I cannot say that of anyone else in that house... I think all the remaining players have noticed the same things about Jordan that I have, which is why none of them ever have anything bad to say about her. Jordan is playing the game...the only way she knows how...being herself. I don't think anyone else in that house could get this far in the game playing themselves. To me, that's says a lot.

That's what is great about these 2...they don't sweat the small stuff...that's why they are so good together.

I wonder if they will have a food comp this week? Or a luxury comp?

Before I went to bed last night the HG's were discussing the HOH comp. Apparently, Jordan was in second place, ahead of Adam and Kalia. She had 15 donuts. Rachel won with 20. Jordan really wanted to win this one so Rachel could play in the next one , which she is sure is questions and thinks Rachel is much better a. I don't think Jordan is hiding behind anyone. She cannot help what her strengths an weaknesses are. She has been very strong in the partnership in securing Adam and his loyalty ( even if she is a little worried about it). Getting him over to their side and have Adam see the good in Rachel was all Jordan. She has not just been sitting around. Her personality is not as flamboyant as others but she has been working this season. She also secured Kalia early in the season and Shelly. You don't do that sleeping all day. You need to be out among the people. Just like Shelly could not win comps, she worked her game in to her ways. So did Jordan and she is doing so now. She is helping Rachel a great deal.

Calimom, all of them have to play with what/who they are. Shelly knew she couldn't win comps so she used her manipulations skills, that I'm sure she honed outside the house, to get further in the game. It was her strategy. Adam, is a nice guy that has a hard time lying. I'm sure that's who he is outside the house too & he has used it to his advantage. That was his strategy. Kalia uses words to get a point across outside the house (& I bet she second guesses herself). She used her communication skills to get further in the game. That was her strategy. Jordon is who she is inside & outside the house. That is her strategy. I really don't want to say anything about Porsche because everything I think to say sounds snarky. I'll just say that I hope she's a totally different person outside the house. Rachel is the only one left that I think has had a total personality change inside the house & I have no idea which one is the outside the house Rachel. Probably a little of both. I also think that she's as tough a competitor outside the house as she has been inside. That was her consistent strategy.

I really honestly do not think Jordan is "throwing" these comps...the only one I am for sure aware that she has thrown was the VETO comp sitting on Jeff's back and it was painful for her. The other one might have been the Robot comp that Jeff won, but not sure about that one. In most all of the comps she has come in second or third and is playing her little heart out and like Missy said, you cannot help what your strengths are.

I read on Monty's that both Jordan and Adam ended up in 2nd with 15 donuts each and Kalia had 10. Adam verified he had 15 last night when he said when they said one minute left he knew he couldn't get 5 donuts in one minute.

Okay, this may be too old for an answer, but can someone please fill me in on how and when it was decided that Kalia got the 5K? All I remember was P reading that the 10K had to be split with another HG. When did she pick or did Production pick, or because K & P were a duo, I've tried searching the older posts, but no luck yet. Thanks for all your hard work and constant posts. I love it!

Porche gave the 5k to kalia in private so the others wouldnt know No way is Rachel going to be tempted to open PB - jokes on you BB- Jordan asks Rachel if she gets a Pandora's Box would she open it. Rachel says No Way!! She realizes that they are in a great position right now and doesn't want to screw it up. She says it would have to Brendon in the box for her to open it or a crazy honeymoon vacation.

Lmammon When Porsche opened pandora's box, it meant that the duos would be put back in place for one week. She chose Kalia as the other half of her duo. Each one of them got $5 (kalia and porsche). The house knows that Porsche got $5K, but does NOT know that Kalia also got 5K

Lostfan....so they will tempt her with a honeymoon in Tahiti. Also didn't Kalia give Porsche the 5,000 because she was her partner???

I believe you are right Scooter...the BB instructions said she had to give 5Gs to another player so it made perfect sense to give it to her partner but I don't think P was required to give it to K....just had to give it to someone.

I do not think Porsche had a say in Kalia getting the $5000. It was part of excepting it.

If Porsche and Kaila are in contention for votes...Porsche will tell about Kalia's $5000.
