Bonehead move on Porsche's part even if she didn't know it was going to be duos for veto. It could just have easily been Jeff returning or her losing HOH power's or something else.
Yeah, Jordan and Rachel cry.......but Kalia and Shelly cry just as much.
And Shelly voting Jeff out wasn't very smart for her game play. No question Jeff was a strong player and she would have to get him out to win, but she did it too soon. She had a final 3 deal with them that Jeff/Jordan were going to honor (they said so behind closed doors on the live feeds). Shelly looked stupid on today's show when she had nothing to say and even Adam called her out on things. Porsche/Kalia don't care at all about Shelly. They are using her for a vote. Porsche/Kalia don't care if Adam gets with them to the final 3 or if Shelly does. Kalia told Adam that the final 3 will be Kalia, Porsche and Adam. Hope it was worth it Shelly......cause you ain't lasting long.
Oh and in terms of edits.......they never showed Shelly saying she wishes she could punch Rachel in the stomach if she is indeed pregnant so she doesn't have the baby (should have been on today's show but I guess they aren't showing it). Great example for Josie there. Wonder what she will think of that when she hears that come out of your mouth.
But all in all like I said a few days ago, I wish Brendon/Danielle/Jeff could all be back and they could kick out 3 of the remaining players.

Pandora's Box has been opened every time it's been in the game. It's easy to go online and say "she has to resist the temptation", but every player it's been offered to has done it. And from what I've read, Porsche was saying all that day that they were setting up Pandora's Box and that if it was offered to her she wouldn't open it...and then she goes and opens it for $5000. Smells like production persuading her to open it to me...
And I don't see how a final 3 deal with Jeff and Jordan is at all beneficial to Shelly. So you get the final 3 with two people you outright know are going to choose the other for the final 2. And this is someone who's struggled with competitions all year going against someone who is pretty good (but not great) at competitions in Jeff. Either way, saying it's a bad move because Jeff/Jordan said it behind closed doors is irrelevant. You can't judge any strategy with the complete omnipotence of the cam feeds - you judge it based off of the information people have on hand themselves.
This season hasn't been much different than many others in terms of strong/weak players it's just that the "strong" players are really mediocre in the end. Brendon/Rachel are great at competitions, but have zero interest/ability in playing the other side of the game and are always targets. Jeff is mediocre at everything - he would've been out early his first season if production didn't hand him the ridiculous coup d'etat and he went into this season with an instant alliance and an automatic vote/ally on his side in Jordan. Danielle is decent at everything, but isn't great at anything either. If there were people who were actually good as the veterans they would've cruised to the final 6 and made for an interesting final few weeks. Instead all the veterans blew each other up and it's useless players like Jordan and Adam left.
