If Jess put up Dick or Amber then she would have to try to convince the one that stays that they were just pawns. I don't think either of them would have believed it. So in that scenerio, who would have her back after the next HOH - basically just Eric (who is always out early in the HOH comp).

With the noms as they are, she at least has 3 players competing for HOH for her to be safe. If Zach or Amber win HOH, they are going to go after the Donato's.

If Jess would have put up Dick or Dani she wouldn't get near the beating here that Dani would have had she put up Eric or Jess. I really don't care if they go back on their word if it means they get one step closer to the half mill, that's just good gaming imo.
It seems that taking Dick to the final would guarantee her a win, but turn that around it doesn't work for Dick. He has a better chance to win getting rid of Jess.

(I posted this in the current happenings thread, and then realized I should have posted it here!)

If Amber goes home this week, I think the house will split with D/D/Z against J/E/Jm. Jess and Jameka cannot play for HOH.

If either D/D get HOH they will see that it's in their best interest to target Jess & Eric.

Zach & Jameka do not do well in competitions, so D/D will alternate winning HOH's.

Am I off-base here?

I wished Jessica made it a bit more interesting with forcing Eric to use the POV. But as it is, the strategy is all gone now, as it will be DD/JE in F4 and even then it's predictable. The Donatos with Eric and then the Donatos in F2. This is how Alison wants and this is what you'll get.

No, I think you make a good arguement in favor of breaking up the JEDD alliance.

All I can say is that all the strategy in the world can't always help you.

Season 4, Erika joined with Jun and Alison who went against Jee to kick out that Jack. Then Jee went on the block and was evicted by Alison and Erica. Robert won the next HOH and put up Jun and Alison, intending for Alison to go home but Alison won POV and kicked out Erica. Robert made it to F3, when everyone had given him up for dead.

Season 5, Nakomis won HOH at F5 and put up Drew and Cowboy. The guys helped Diane win POV and she took off Drew, forcing up the blonde lady whose name I can't remember, but who was Nakomis' buddy, the one she wanted to protect but couldn't. For her troubles, Diane got booted at F3.

As these numbers get down, the ability to save yourself or someone else with the competitions and creative thinking goes up. All the planning in the world can't cover all these eventualities. They like to think they can and WE like to think they but there is a huge element of luck involved here.

So, in the end, you are better off trying to position yourself as best you can and then pulling off the wins you need. That's what Boogie did last year. He needed that F3 win and he earned it.

Eric will and should screw over Jess if they get to the final 4. This is a game with (1) winner.Women continue to get played in this game and it is almost laughable. I use to feel sorry for these ladies but not any more. Men always seem to be more focused in the game.}

I completely agree, Cathlene.. Just look at the year that Jun was up against Allison. Everyone hated Allison and Jun won only because everyone voted against Allison which was a vote for Jun. Being against Dick in the final two is a sure thing. If it was me, I'd make sure I was against the most annoying,hated person in the house. Seems like a no brainer..

So unless Zach wins it's going to be Jameka and Zach on the block. This is getting ridiculously boring..

I think Eric should let Dick win because it allows for Dick to get rid of Zach or Jameka without him having to worry about if America will try and get him to nominate Jessica

..or if D or ED wins HOH, he may put up Jess or Eric. I wouldn't put it pass D/ED.

:::rubs hands together and emits evil laugh::: I'm with Trini. Let's not have Jess and Eric sucking face for another 5 weeks (or whatever time is left).

I'm for double eviction. Dick gets rid of Jess or Eric, then Zach gets HOH and puts up Dick/Dani. Since Jen left, I'm not very concerned with who wins...except for Eric. He gives me the willies.

It's really about 2 weeks left as Ryn explained on his podcast, last date is 9/18 on Tues--last eviction will be 9/13 with virtually nothing between 9/13 and 9/18--things will move quickly now

You can bet on D/D if they win HOH that Jess/Eric are going up.

I wish they would get all the guys out and have it an all girls finale!

I think Jameka will be up.. no one wants to sit with her in F2.. she'd have Dustin, Jen and Amber votes and whoever went out ahead of her at the hands of the rest probably would vote for her as well. Too risky.

I think if Dick wins HOH, he'll stay true to his deal/word. If Dani wins, she'll do what she wants regardless of her Dad (maybe even in spite of).

Jess/Eric..who the heck knows what direction they'll take. If Eric still has to follow America, it could very well be Dani that America puts up. She hasn't made too many "tv friends" (regular viewers).

So we shall see...

Jameka and Jessica don't play.

So Eric, Zach, Dick, Daniele

Zach is the only one who has to win for his survival. But he's one against 3 who will hamper his game, I'm sure. Eric may not try hard enough, and if it's Daniele again, Jameka and Jessica will be up (same with Dick). Eric will have to win POV if he truly wants to save Jessica. This only if it's true that Jessica is D/D target.
Otherwise this HOH will only help evict Zach. And another boring week. Unless Sunday we'll have another eviction and boredom will be brief..

Eric has claimed to Jess that he will win, and he's been studying, but unless he can be SURE it is double eviction, I don't think he'll chance it, not wanting to be told to put up Jess (he could just say no and not earn that money but he does like that mounting up pile of money).

So it will be Dick, Dani, Zach/Amber (I think Zach) and MAYBE Eric competing tonight.. Zach (or Amber)could pull it off.

I think Dani would put up Jameka and want her to be the one to go.
Jess wanted to back door Dani but thankfully Eric talked her out of it.

It is funny how things go. Just a couple of weeks ago, so many people were saying to get rid of Dustin so the LNC would not just vote everyone else out and cruise to the end. We were assured that if that happened, it would shake up the house and the real game would start. It was going to be so exciting with all the game play.

So they did it. But to accomplish it, Jess and Eric joined with Dick and Danielle. Now those four are doing exactly what everyone was worried the LNC crew would do. With the exception of one night whem Jen and Dick lost it, this has been about as boring as any season has ever been.

And I do not see it changing. Unless Zach wins POV this week, or we have someone else go against their alliance, he will go this week, Jameka next week and then it will just be whoever wins POV from then on.

Zach is hosed no matter what he does....he has no good options.

If he wins HOH tonight, he can put up one of each pair left. That way, if the noms hold, Jameka decides (so it's in Jam's best interest not to veto if she wins veto unless she can make a deal). But then Zach can't play next week (and I suspect THAT will be the double eviction week-they'll do the "week in an hour" like they did last year at final 5).

If he doesn't win HOH, it's likely him or Jameka, and I think D/D thinks Zach has a better chance to win comps than Jam. so he'll have to either win POV or hope he can make some sort of deal (depends on who's HOH)

Okay, Jessica/Jameka on the block, POV to be played later tonight....

Assuming nominations stay as they are, Dick/Daniele would be smart to seize this opportunity to rid themselves of Jessica. She's not the sweet innocent she has managed to portray these several weeks past, and I think her nasty side is emerging now. Best to nip that right in the bud, so to speak.

Dump Jessica, and barring any real complications next week, Jameka should go. Nobody wants her to make it to final 2. Eric will cling to Dick/Dani as his last hope to make it to finals. Zach will also cling to them as his best hope.

They are the deciding votes this week if things stay as they are. Last chance to shake it up and lock in their best chance to take it all the way.
