From Jess's standpoint, if Dick takes Dani off the block, she should not risk making emnies by putting up Jen or Zack. Dustin has volunteered to be put up against Dick, so if he doesn't change his mind she should put him up.

Heh. Crutch is the better word. Well, I don't think Jameka necessarily thinks they have a connection but I think she's fine to use Amber as she needs her. I can see her pairing up with Jen too, though, if she could somehow get both Amber and Dustin out. I just meant that I think those 3 probably consider each other interchangable as far as an alliance to the end.

I have been watching Amber and been trying to figure her out. It finally dawned on me that she has absolutely no identity at all. She has no idea who she is and she ends up becoming the monkey on the back of a houseguest. She latches on to them and then tries to absorb their personality and identity. With Kail, she called herself the other mother in the house, a mother aspiring to be kail. She latches on to Jameka to become the christian works in progress, trying to emulate her prayer fests.

None of this is meant to be bashing at all. I can actually see her going along with no gameplan at all but desperately looking for someone to identify with.

She is scary in that she reminds me of Autumn, way too weak to be in the BB house. Or is this all gameplan and she has me fooled?

I want Dustin out next...then Jameka and Amber. Dick, Dani and Eric should go after that. I do not care in what order they leave.I would like to see Jen, Zach, Jess in the finals.

I agree to some degree, Bubba. However, I think she could probably get away with putting Jen there instead. Of course I haven't been paying close enough attention. If Eric and Jessica have progressed in trying to get into an alliance with Jen, then that'd be a bad move. But, if they are all still against Jen, then I don't think it'd make Jessica any more of a target than the rest of her alliance to put Jen up.

I do agree that she should not put up Zach but, unless she is actually ok with him going, she shouldn't risk Dustin. It's always stupid to put your own alliance at risk as it screws up your advantage number-wise and this is not a game where you can absolutely count on people to do what they say. Better to keep the numbers uneven in your favor than count on a tie.

I am going to start keeping a eye on Zack. How everyone could overlook a 6.5 foot man in a bunny suit is beyond me. I think the best thing that could have happened to him game wise was when the house turned their back on him. He might just hop his way to the final 2.

I would love to see how the house would play up to Zach if he won HOH! That would be a hoot to see!!

I think Ambers game plan is to go to the final two with Jameka, thinking she would win because she is a single mother who supports her whole family. Jameka and Jess are the only two I haven't heard her slam, maybe she has I just haven't heard it.

So, I'm curious...

Quite a lot of us didn't like Jen at first. And there were quite a few who were pretty disgusted with Zach (not me, I hadn't yet formed an opinion of him).

So what's changed? Both Jen and Zach have gone up as fan favs here. Jen has risen in the CBS popularity polls (although Zach has lingered in the single digit numbers).

What's changed?

BTW: Doing a happy dance! Dick has risen over 10 points in the polls on the CBS site since yesterday morning!!! Whoo hoo! He's now at the highest he (or anyone else) has ever been at 33.1%!

Also interestingly, Amber has hung around the .5% point for weeks now. And Jameka has fallen from a high of 30 down to 5!!!

I think Zach is smart enough, too, to see thru the HGs who would fawn all over him if he won HOH.

Maris, I agree with you. From the beginning it seems that Amber's poor self esteem is running her game. She constantly needs approval/attention from others. Dustin, Nick, Jameka, Kail...anyone! I don't think she has anyone fooled. Right now she's along for the ride. Once the others start going, she won't be far behind.

I would be happy with a Zach/Jen final two. They have really been kept on the perimiter of the little cliques in the house and I like their whole attitude on the show. Jen in particular, she goes goes along on slop or on the nomination seat and has a smile on her face. She is adaptable and has earned her place in final two as far as I am concerned. Zach, is great, he reminds me of Eric the Connecticut firefighter from season 3 except he seems to have some brains and is his own man. I would love to see him silently creep his way to final two.

Maris, great assessment (and not bashing at all!). And yeah, Piper, her constant need for reassurance has, I think, affected her game. I still dunno how she managed to be the best in the psych quiz given by BB. Unless they told her a lie! :-)

Raenstorm, I think Jess knows that Dustin almost voted out Eric last week and might consider him the least trustworthy of the five. Your alliance is only as strong as the weakest member.

My final four would be: Zach, Jen, Jessica, and Daniele. And, if she gets to the final 2, I'd say Jen deserves the win.

And, for the record, I can't believe I'm saying that as I don't really like Jessica and actively dislike Jen. Zach gets there for being the least offensive person (to me personally) in the house. As for Daniele, well I just like her better than the others left.

Costa - that's great about the polls!! I despised Jen at first, but couldn't pinpoint exactly when I started to like her. I think it may have been the POV comp when she gave up half the money, was willing to wear the bunny suit for so long, and be on slop for what seemed like forever. I remember thinking, "wow, she's serious!"

I am thinking that Amber scored off the charts...exactly what they were looking for. Not necessarily what you would want in an employment application but definitely for a reality show.

Hmmm, good point, Bubba. I didn't think about Dustin in relation to her alliance with Eric. Making his key the last to be drawn out of the box may have been a warning to him as well.

I think that's when I started to respect her, which is a precursor to like, yes? She really is in there for the experience, she took all the punishments on with a smile, and she really took the point of the POV competition to heart (i.e. bid the max to win the POV even if it hurts with all the punishments).

I felt bad for Zach from the beginning because of the way he was treated. He impressed me because he didn't let it get to him. He wasn't crying in the DR because no one includes him and throwing pity parties. I would love to see him go farther. I respect Jen as well, she has taken ALOT and seems to be a far cry from the girl who had a meltdown on day one.

Chuckle, yeah maybe LIKE is too strong a word. I'll go for RESPECT instead!

The only thing I'm not sure about with her is her gameplan. Still a bit hinky for me.

I need to go jump in the shower and get a move on here. But I wanna thank y'all for coming into the lounge, pulling up a seat, and sitting for a while. Looks like there's a lot of us who are willing to talk about BB, just talk, nothing else. Thanks all! See you in a bit! I'll bring a fresh batch of peach AND raspberry bellinis!
