> [@CapnPitt](#): > > I really wanted to root for Adam at the beginning of the season. But then he went on to do…nothing. I think Adam’s the classic example of “I’m just happy to be here.” I agree with the assessment that Porsche is the only one he might be able to beat. But he might not even be able to beat her. I don’t think he’s nearly smart enough to know this though. In fact, I think his head will probably explode this week since he doesn’t have anyone to kiss up to and do whatever they want him to do. As if liking apple martinis wasn’t enough, I’m pretty sure his weak playing cost him all his metal cred. > > Scenarios: > Jordan over Rachel > Jordan over Porsche > Jordan over Adam > Rachel over Adam > Rachel over Porsche (close) > Adam vs. Porsche (toss-up) > > Thoughts? If it comes down to Jordan and Rachel, who do you think Dani votes for? I say Rachel. ---

I think she really dislikes Rachel enough though to vote for Jordan based on her social game. However: It doesn’t look like she’ll have to make that choice based on updates from the feeds ---

Porsche should evicted Rachel. Rachel has to be the favorite to win the endurance part of the HOH competition. Jordan would not last very long. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > Porsche should evicted Rachel. Rachel has to be the favorite to win the endurance part of the HOH competition. Jordan would not last very long. You’re probably right, but I think I’d have evicted Jordan too. There might not have been another chance to get her out and I think she’d have swept in any final 2. Porsche might be overestimating the dislike for Rachel in the jury house too. Rachel v. Porsche Brendan - R Jeff - R Jordan - R Shelley - ? Adam - ? Kalia - P Dani- P Porsche would need both Shelley and Adam to fall on her side and I don’t think that would happen. Adam v. Porsche Brendan - Porsche? (competitor) Rachel - Porsche? (competitor) Jeff - Adam Jordan - Adam Shelley - ? Kalia - Porsche Dani - Porsche Can I say that I hate Porsche as a first name? Because I do. ---

Porsche has to get to final two before she can win it. both Rachel and Jordan would take Adam to final 2, but Rachel has a much better to win HoH. Because Jordan is nearly worthless with competitions. Remember the old guy Jerry that was on BB a few years ago. BB like to play the Sargent Schulz music everytime he did something. It turned into Jordan’s theme music during challenges. ---

Evel Dick at [his website](http://www.stickam.com/rtvzone) is doing live, uncensored, kickass post-game interviews. Go now! Grudgingly have to hand Rachel the victory, although if I was Porsche I would have mentioned that I didn’t have _a boyfriend who threw himself on his sword to be voted out so I could stay._ That’s a little tidbit that would have been useful. ---

Rachel deserved it. As annoying as she is, she won the most competitions and never quit. ---

> [@Southern\_Yankee](#): > > Rachel deserved it. As annoying as she is, she won the most competitions and never quit. Agreed, however I think she deserved it only because the others in the final 3 deserved nothing. I hope this is the end of the veterans returning twist. ---

Yeah, she’s a “fierce competitor.” I think I heard that about a zillion times. I can see how Rachel won (oh because only one vet didn’t make the jury or the final), and she is undoubtedly good in competitions. But I don’t think she has a social game…especially since she just doesn’t seem like a nice person at all. It still kills me that when she was in Pandora’s box and watching the shopping spree, she said “they don’t deserve it.” I think she’s not capable of being happy for anyone but herself. Totally agree that she’d have been long gone if Brendan wasn’t there. Porsche should have said that and should have actually made a speech with specifics instead of talking in vague terms. Probably wouldn’t have mattered as I’m pretty sure they all had their minds made up already. Considering how Shelley’s vote went, I wonder if the vets still hate her. ---

Just a bump to link to an [article](http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2011/09/19/2623074/big-brother-house-has-been-home.html) in my hometown newspaper about Jordan. It’s not _news_, just a fluff piece, but I didn’t realize that she lives and works here. I knew she was from NC, but I thought it was a different area. Her place of work is right near me. Maybe I’ll pop in and say hello! ---

I chuckled reading this part: > [@](#): > > Lloyd suggested Chicago has the edge at the moment, but when asked what she loves about Charlotte, the Butler High School graduate said: > > “I love how everybody’s just so friendly there. … Oh, and Jeff wanted me to say, ‘And we get to go to Panthers games.’ Jeff loves the Panthers, because every time we go, they’re so nice. They gave us free tickets, and he got so excited. In Chicago, they (the Bears) don’t ever do anything. They don’t even care,” she says, laughing.
