I don't think she's untouchable Ambi, but everyone has people ahead of Jessica on their hit list right now (with this vote, it might change). eventually, people will start to realize if she gets to the final 2, she likely beats ANYONE there, and will work accordingly.

I think that BB is a reality show and not a game show. It is impossible to define otherwise even if they tried because there are too many opportunities for even inadvertent interference. Having said that, and as I mentioned previously, while BB may deliberately attempt to influence the game (mostly to keep it interesting for the fans) there are clear limits to BB's power. All we have to do is look at the extremely unpopular finalists in the last two years to see that. Ultimately the game is in the players control. BB is simply another powerful influence but it is only as powerful as the players allow it to be. These players have all seen BB before and if the DR is trying to influence them, they should be able to recognize that as part of the game and deal with it accordingly.

Thank you Wills and I hope you are right. I just see her sailing into F2 and picking up the big prize. The whole thing reminds me of Maggie's win. It kind of makes me sick.

Seamonkey I think you're pretty much right, although I also think that anyone could beat Jen in final 2, except Dick. Jen and Dick could end up canceling each other out. Jess and Eric should think they could beat Jen, and also Zach. By "stacking the deck" and voting out the other LNCers while working with D&D and Jen and Zach, they might make it so they both end up in final 3. I'm pretty sure Jess could beat anyone, and Eric could beat anyone except Jess and maybe, just maybe Danielle since they'd most likely get the 3 votes from the LNC. I just don't see Dustin, Amber and Jameka voting to give $500,000 to ED, Zach or Dani...or $250,000 to Jen. If Dustin goes tonight, the looks on the faces of the LNC would have paid for BBAD and the Live Feeds...had I gotten either of them. Priceless.

I think Eric is aware of the instant noms during the double eviction and if per chance he is nominated and goes he wants to complete this last task to get him 20k.Also if he does manage to survive the double evictions maybe America will stop sabotaging his game if they get what they want.

So this only makes sense if one thinks he/she can control all activity through the next month or so, to ensure who the final 4 will be; and really only makes sense when one considers being one of the final two. Are Jess and Eric serious? Do they actually think they foresee all of the contingencies that are going to come up in the next several weeks and can plan for them now? I would never decide what to do this week based on assumptions I was making for what will happen in each of the following 4-6 weeks. Silliness.

The only thing I don't like about Dick staying and being with Dani,Eric,Jessica is that he is already targeting Jenn next week if he stays. I would think Amber or Jameeka would be the next target. I want Jen or Jessica to go all the way

I'll note that the people who are suddenly up in arms about BB supposedly interferring this week were the same ones who were ok with BB interferring LAST week to save Eric. What's good for the goose... And the logic is that Dustin is the head of the LNC. If they get him out now, they don't have to fight him (and his two stronger allies) later. Dick will be MUCH easier to get out later than Dustin.

But Raenstorm, maybe a week from now he will have alientated himself by them -- or the week after. How do they kow what is coming? But based on what they are doing, they guarantee a two-voting-block enemy stays in. I'd prefer to have to deal with getting rid of someone who only has one vote rather than have to go after two people, who each are guaranteed the vote of the other. As I said, silliness.

Dustin is part of a solid three-person voting block, which is a bit more of a threat to Eric and Jessica.

OK the show is called "Big Brother" not "House Guests Do What They Want". The diary room and producers are supposed to do things to screw with the house. The house guests (and the Internet voyeur's) seem to forget that part of the show. It would seem that the smart player would take this into consideration when forming their strategy. It's part of the game! As for Dick making it to the final two, sure why not. If any one was standing next to Dick in the end I would bet money they would win over him. He is so disliked by the other HG's I don't think anyone would give him their vote. ON THE OTHER HAND Dr. Will did it once and almost twice......only time will tell.
