ARGH!!! Reality TV is littered with the bodies of those who could not make the big move. Jordan missed the perfect opportunity here to oust a big competitor.

I so wanted them to put that redheaded psycho. Would have made for a much better game. If Rachel or Brendan win HOH in the next week or two you don't think they are seriously considering putting Jeff and Jordan up?

Jordan is right, she needs more balls in her mouth.

You guys said it all.

One other point: No matter the editing, you knew Cassi & Shelly were going up. Boring episode.

I can't believe Jordon didn't make the big move. Jeff and Jordan are sitting ducks now. If I were them, I'd rather bring in Cassi and Shelly into my alliance than keep Rachel and Brandon. Now they have nobody they can trust.

I started an episode thread at exactly the same time as this one - perhaps the mods can delete/merge?

Thanks!

It was hilarious watching Rachel react to a true alpha putting her in her place, followed by pathetic Brendon trying to soothe her. Brendon should take lessons.

Jordan made the right decision in putting Cassi and Shelly up. Keep B/R in as potential targets and keep the odds of your alliance winning HOH as high as possible.

Lawon and Kalia might have been a better choice. Keep Cassi in as a target of Rachel and Dani.

She is outta her mind. She calls Cassie a floater (not even close) and she rips J/J for not doing the smart move (no, they didn't do what YOU wanted).

This is the crux of it, she's a control freak. She couldn't make it more obvious that they were trying to win Veto so they could undo Jordan's noms because they weren't the exact ones they wanted. And I get the feeling that Rachel and to some extent Danielle want Cassie out because they are jealous of her looks.

Agreed.

It was an easy (and right) decision to keep Brachel in the game.

Completely. They hate the prettier girl. Such kids...

was I the only person who the word petulant came to mind watching big red?

I was hoping Brachel would win and remove Dominic. Something tells me they wouldn't have the cojones to do it though!

Jordan had the opprtunity for a power play, and busted it. She should have aligned secretly with Cassie and Shelly, popped Brendan and Rachel up, and sent Rachel home. This leaves an angry Brendan, but send Jeff in to do the fixin', explain to him, "You know she is crazy and now you can play the game without that handicap", and then oust him the next chance you get. Dominic is the next biigest threat to them after Brenchel. Too bad they did not get him out either.

I like that Dominic is the closest thing to a foil to the veterans, but he is too mouthy. At this point I don't know who I am rooting for. All I know for sure is, Rachel has got to go.

I agree with most of what you said, except the bolded portion.

The guy is going to MARRY her - do you really think he is just going to agree with a statement like that and let the whole thing go? If so, YOU are the crazy one!

Clearly Brendon has some problems of his own if he is planning on spending the rest of his life with that nutcase, but it is also quite apparent that regardless of how the rest of us feel about her, the guy is madly in love with her (madly being the operative word here) and would do anything to "avenge" a backdoor move as discussed.

That being said, I still think Jordan should have done it - she and Jeff have enough friends in the house at this point to form a new alliance...

I don't agree with anything he said.

The vets are going to be voted out by the newbs, and the vets need to stick together a bit longer. It wasn't the time to dump Brachel -- Jeff and Jordan still need them. For four reasons:

1) When a newb finally gets HOH they'll want to target vets, and Jeff and Jordan want to keep Brachel so Brachel has the bigger target
2) It's a numbers game, and Brachel doesn't have anywhere else to go for an alliance but Jeff and Jordan. That alliance with Brachel is a lot safer than a newly formed one with Cassie and Shelley.
3) Brachel is more likely IMHO to win the next HOH than Cassie/Shelley, especially with Shelly not even trying. If Brachel wins, Jeff and Jordan are safe. Brachel doesn't stand as much chance of winning if they're not in the game.
4) Brendon has proven that he goes into full vengence mode if someone goes after his sweetie.

We all want to see the big move, and of course the contestants think of it and discuss it. But they take the safer route usually and it's wise of them.

They should have put them both up and sent Rachel packing. Then told Brendan why and told him if you don't like it too bad. He probably would go cry (the dude is an emotional train wreck waiting to happen) and then come crawling back.

Jeff and Jordan supposedly have 5 total in their alliance (Rachel, Brendan, Dani and J and J).

I can't see how they trust Brendan and Rachel especially after the Veto. To go out there and bad mouth your supposed allies in public.

So team up with Cassie and Shelly. Still have 5. And maybe even Adam. Not sure on him though.

Brendan and Rachel to me are the main competitors when it comes to HOH or POV competitions but Rachel and Brendan to a less degree are huge liabilities when it comes to the social aspect. Plus I don't trust them. It wouldn't surprise me to see Brendan and Rachel to win HOH in the next week or two and put Jeff and Jordan up.
