The only person that I can think of that will do that is Boston Rob and he is awesome at it, I wish others would learn from this and do what they think is right and not just what others want.
If I'm Jeff and Jordan, I don't put Rachel and Brendon up either. As awesome as it would be for a viewer, it doesn't make sense. Those couples need each other to get by these first few weeks. If Jordon were to put Brenchel up and one of them goes home, Jeff would essentially be fighting for their lives in tonight's HOH competition. I mean, if your one of the other house guests, why wouldn't you try to split up the other power couple in the house.

Also, keep in mind that we as a viewer saw Brenchel plotting to win the veto and take Dominic off. Jeff and Jordon didn't know that and have no reason to believe they were ready to screw them over. Jeff was pondering the Brenchel back door because Rachel was annoying, not because he thought they were again him and Jordon. It just makes gameplay sense for Jeff/Jordon to stick together for at least 2-3 more weeks.

Annoying, yes, but understable in my opinion.

I am forced to watch this show with my girlfriend. The worst.
This show sucks so hard. It's edited to create a storyline even though they probably spend most of the day partying with each other and only talk "strategy" for 30 minutes.

Just caught up on the first 6 episodes today, and wow is Cassi ever freakin hot. Can't stand Rachel, sad to see Evil Dick go I really enjoyed his antics; happy to see the annoying preacher dude leave first, amazed he was so slimy considering what he is outside the house.

I just hope Jeff and Jordan win this, Jordan is the cutest most adorable girl ever, I hate using those words but she is.

Rachel is the perfect example of someone who thinks they are the center of the universe

she is mad at J/J for going after Dominic in the first place because it didn't help her game, even though it helped J/J considerably if he was gone and Cassi stays

then she gets mad at Jordan for not taking slop to win a competition that Rachel didn't even want her to win

She gets mad at Jeff for 'yelling' at her, after she yelled at Jordan

she calls Cassi a liar because her and Porsche don't like Cassi, only because Cassi is better looking than both of them but you can't say you hate someone for that so they come up with something different

the one decent thing, and I'll put it in spoiler tags for those that don't wanna know

Spoiler!

The more I think about it Rachel is the Vancouver Canucks of the BB house. She is always starting drama, being in the middle of every "conspiracy". She performs well in the competitions but just like the Canucks, she will never win the whole thing.

I have to disagree with that. My reason is in white writing if you want to read it.

After evil dick was evicted the producer of big brother made a statement saying evil dick would not be back because he was outside of the bubble and was in the real world. She also went on to say that they were going to have to do a double eviction at some point in the show so it works out now they wont have to because 2 people left in the first week. So really there is no room for anyone to come back imo??

I picked down near the bottom in my pool and ended up with Rachel, so last night was a toss-up for me-

On the one hand, I want her in the game because as mouthy as she is, she wins competitions and is hilarious to watch. But on the other hand, I want her gone too. She causes a lot of drama, but it's worth it in the end I think.

They probably did but they they can only show so much in an hour. The housemembers are always discussing every scenerio but CBS only shows the stuff that makes the 1 hour more spicy. Every week where it's obvious who's going home CBS will take a casual conversation where they talk about voting for the other person and use that in their show to add drama. It's obvious that Cassi is going home but I gaurantee tonight CBS will highlight a conversation where it's discussed that maybe Shelley should be voted out just try and create drama because it makes for a boring first 1/2 hour when you know who's leaving.

It's such a shame that Dick had to leave as I'm sure there would have been an epic battle between him and Rachel. That would have been gold.

.
Jordan / Jeff would have been crazy to put up Brendon and Rachel. Rachel maybe annoying but they are part of their alliance. They need to "use" them for the next few weeks to make sure they have the numbers.

I am sure Jeff and Jordan understand they can't trust Dom or Adam or Cassi etc....

Not to mention, Brendon and Rachel are strong players in the POV and HOH.

I understand that Rachel is annoying...

But J&J need to keep their alliance, and so does B&R- if they go after each other, then the next week they're out themselves.

I'd have more respect for Shelly if she came clean to Cassi about her vote. I guess it could have jeopardized her game play if Cassi told anyone else, but still.....

I liked Jessica from a few seasons back, but Cassi is definitely right up there
