Thanks guys and gals for pointing out how unrealistic and corrupt "reality TV" truly is.

This is my last season watching this show.

That isn't the problem though. Remember what zingbot said? "The only reason Jeff hasn't proposed is because Jordan is not good at answering questions". lol

Don't really see how it is corrupt. It was 8 newbies vs 6 vets to start and when Dick left it quickly went to 8 newbies and 5 vets. Danielle switched sides pretty quickly too!

Porsche didn't have to open the Pandora's box. She wasn't forced into doing so. She knew she was getting money so she knew something bad was going to happen to everyone else. Why risk it? She had Rachel out but blew it. It falls all on Porsche.

Don't buy all the theories out there about CBS scripting the results of the game. I just don't. If this were the case, then Jeff/Danielle and Brendon wouldnt have been voted out in a 7 day span. Those 3 were probably 3 of the 4 biggest personalities on the show. There are so many instances in the past where CBS could have done something to make the show more fan friendly, but didn't. How did Maggie and Ivette and the rest of the nerd herd dominate BB 6?? There are so many examples. But the moment a game twist comes in play that favors a popular character, everyone scream conspiracy.

Is it possible? Sure. Do I believe it? Can't say I do. The evidence in 13 seasons of Big Brother tells me not.

I will be very happy when Shelly is evicted come Thursday. I also hope if Adam can actually win a competition that he sides with the veterans rather than the newbies. I was disgusted at how quickly he switched sides this week. He really is a gutless floater.

If he is smart, he throws it. Rachel/Jordan want Kalia/Porsche on the block and Kalia/Porsche want Rachel/Jordan on the block.

I also thought it was amusing that Kalia was upset about her opening the box for $5k....until she got it as well! At that point she was thrilled.

Ya they certainly do influence things a bit, but the game is called BIG BROTHER, Brendan had to beat someone in a challenge to get back in, Rachel and Jordan still had to win PoV to stay

The one thing I do think they do is ask leading questions in the DR's, but in the end the people end up making their own decisions

Like I know Matt complains endlessly about last year that Rachel could spell out Matt in cheetos and thats why he was nominated over Britney, maybe if Matt wasn't so stupid and stuck with a group who had clearly turned on him he could have stayed

Ya I would be shocked if he actually tries to win it, don't see any scenario where he missed the final 4 at this point, with no Porsche competing I think Rachel is a heavy favorite to win tonight

cant believe I am saying this.... I hope she does

I can't believe that I want her to win as well. This is my second year of watching this show and I can't stand the woman, but she definitely deserves to win over anyone else that remains.

Is it a foregone conclusion that Shellys done tonight? From the show last night it looked like she was making progress with those two.

I sure hope she goes home.
if they had any common sense they would realize the following.

Shelly sent Jeff home because she does not want him to stand between her and the money for her family. they are her main focus.

Now she tells them she wants to help get them to the end then bow out at final 3 and its not about her Family? right.....
If that was the case she would not have turned her back on Jeff. She i just saying what they want to hear.. case closed right there.

Should be bye bye Shelly..

I was surprised at how slow everyone else was moving. Seriously, I get that it's sticky and tiring but geez... move your ass people. I wonder if they (the show) went over time? I mean why have a challenge that has a set time that can easily be fit into the show and not show it all on the show. Also anyone want to take any bets that if (Spoiler Text) Rachel opens Pandora's Box they will unleash... Tori Spelling into the house.

It's funny how 75% of the BB message boards think it will be Tori Spelling. That would be awesome!

Seems reasonable... the promo says Pandora's Box, Celebrity Twist, one houseguest very happy. None of the Houseguests have gone on about any celebrities except Adam... Adam = 90210 Fan + fav character being Donna Martin = Tori Spelling.

Yup, in one move they prove to Adam that they had his back (particularly Rachel whom he kept on expressing mistrust of) and maybe drive a wedge between he and the noobs. Of course it could backfire on them if he takes exception to being exposed that way (I'm sure he'd rather get zero votes afterall).
