I don't have the live feeds so I have three questions?

Do you think R could really tell the ring was fake or just used "shocker" common sense.

If R could tell it was fake did that seal Shelly's eviction

Who would logically risk a "Half million" dollar diamond ring to win a Half million.

I think Rachel absolutely knows CZ from real diamonds...

From editing, it appeared that Shelly's use of the ring convinced Rachel that she was blowing smoke about being on board with R/J.

I know it did for me. Shelly's promise to stick with R/J was as phony as her ring...

The ring wasn't suppose to be worth half million dollars. Winning the game is. That is what Rachel meant by the ring not being worth half million dollars.

Kreno is right. Some people just seem to take things too literally.

Shelly never said that the ring was worth $500,000. She told Rachel that it was an heirloom (and then told us that it was a replica of the real one,) and if she gave it to Rachel that by no means would she allow Rachel to leave the house wearing it. So, it was "collateral" to show that her word was true. Rachel saying it wasn't worth $500,000 was metaphorical.

Even if the ring was real Rachel would have never taken it. She wants to win the game, not be bribed.

The ring segment made Shelly look desperate and foolish.

It was a last ditch effort of promise. Nothing more. Nothing less. Didn't work. Oh well.

What impressed me more was Shelly's open declaration to stay with R and J in her speech while Kalia put herself in mortal danger of a wayward bug flying down her open mouth and obstructing her windpipe and Porche risked permanent blindness from her eyes popping out her head and Adam redefined dumbfounded (perfect bb moment btw)... and still, they didn't go for it. lol The ring was lame in comparison.

She wasn't being bribed. Shelly was saying that Rachel could have it and Shelly wouldn't vote her out with her ring so she would "know" that she was safe on the next round. She wasn't trying to really give the ring to Rachel.

Shelly blew it with the way she played out the Jeff/Jordan alliance, nobody would trust her and she looks desperate when she tries to trick her way with a ring or otherwise. I am starting to feel sorry for her.

I don't feel sorry for Shelly. I admit she got screwed by the Pandora's box twist, but that's the breaks in BB. I appreciate Shelly playing hard to the very end and trying to flip the house when the opportunity presented itself. Maintaining your credibility in the game goes a long way. Even with the twist working against her, if Shelly had an ounce of credibility left she would have had a good chance of surviving the vote.

I give her props for playing the game till the second she was voted out. Can't say that about many. I honestly don't know why more of them don't try to screw with other people's game on their way out. Kinda like a walking, talking banner. lol I miss those, can ya tell?

Maybe I am remembering wrong. But I thought I saw Shelly offer R the ring and then say something like This is my grandmothers rings see it has 3 diamonds. I would never part with this ring....it means so much to me.

Not that I personally can tell a diamond from a cz, but if someone was waving a ring in front of me saying it was a diamond and I could tell it was not I would assume that rest of what she was saying was also a lie.

Are there any rules in Big Brother about bribing hamsters with jewelry or such?

I think they can try and bribe others. Wasn't there a season when they had "gold" blocks worth a certain amount and the player could use them any way they wanted?

I sort of remember that, and one year when they had money from some competition and where told that they could use it to by votes.

Back to the ring. I think the offer might have worked if she had said it was CZ. It still would have been a special gift from grandma much more believable and reasonable.

I don't remember Shelly saying it was diamonds.....I remember her saying it was given to her by her mother...and that it was a "past, present, and future" ring.

M4nd33....you are remembering right....money to bribe with.

Shelly said it was a copy of her ring. She has one with diamonds that she did not bring in the house. This is a common practice for jewelry that is very expensive.

Shelly wasn't GIVING it to Rachel, which would be a bribe. She was going to let her HOLD onto it until the end of the game, saying that as long as Rachel had it, it'd be insurance that Shelly would never vote her out as she wouldn't allow Rachel to walk out the BB house holding onto her ring.
