  1. Well, it's "what Danielle would have wanted", lol. It cracks me up the way they talk about her like she died or something.
  2. Right on. Jeff is definitely assertive, but anyone who has truly been around someone who displays bullying behaviors understands that there is a big difference between a no-holds-barred approach and one that is aggressive and bullying in nature.
  3. I think you are assuming that they would have gotten to the end as a trio, which is to me really a stretch. Until Jeff and Jordan got wind of Shelly working the other side, I really do think they were committed to her. Even this week, they were saying they would prefer her and Rachel to the final 4. I think if Shelly didn't feel so compelled to make a "big" move, one of JJ would have still left eventually, but whoever of JJ made it to the end with her would have kept her. As it is, I don't think she has much chance of going to final 2 with the other options...I think ultimately she will regret this. I don't blame her for playing her own game, but I wish if people were going to lie and backstab then they wouldn't make such a big deal about integrity. That's my beef with her. I think she was kind of nasty, but that's the game. I would have rather her said upfront (like Dick or Dr. Will), "Hey, I'm going to lie or betray or do whatever I need to do, because this is a friggin game."
  4. Wow..this is interesting to me. I hadn't heard this. I guess it's inline with Jeff saying the DR was trying to talk him into not putting Dani up. Guess they were desperate to keep her in the house. (For one, I'm relieved she's finally gone...I couldn't stand her)
  5. I couldn't stand Danielle either season she's been on. I'm so glad she's gone. I did think it was funny that she didn't like all the floaters sitting around pushing J/J to the end, but was perfectly happy letting them write her a "paycheck." She fancied herself a master player, and I don't think she's ever been that. She is good at competitions, but she never stopped playing like a rookie to me. And I don't know how fair it is to compare her goodbye speech to Jeff's. She had half a week to be mad, simmer, collect herself and prepare for the worst (and for making it sound pretty on tv). Jeff had minutes, and as a result emotions were raw. I think that's to be expected.
  6. I still don't understand the Jeff hate this season. He's not perfect, and I think he's be the first to admit that...but he's overall funny and friendly and and charismatic and loyal to those who are loyal to him. Yes, he's rough around the edges. I kind of think that's part of his charm...it's at least what makes him relate-able. I think isolating one person who demonstrates entitlement in the big brother house is impossible. I mean, hello! The whole game is about trying to justify why you deserve to stay over someone else. You've got to believe that you deserve it or you might as well go home. Every single person in there has acted entitled at one point or another...vets/newbies/ even the fish! I think when Jeff said that Shelly was playing his game, he was referring to the team mentality he thought (obviously inaccurately) that Shelly shared. And if you'll remember, Shelly said about a million times in the beginning of the game "I don't need to win, I'm doing this for the experience. I'm just here to try to get you young people to the end". If Jeff did think Shelly should play for him personally, it was probably because she told him so repeatedly.
  7. I think Shelly's two main problems are: 1) she is so wrapped up in the idea of her own "integrity" she doesn't see how little there is of it. This kind of gameplay is never surprising, but when you can't seem to talk about anything other than how loyal you are, how good you are, how much you're going to stick with these people who have carried you, etc, it's just pretty disgusting to me. 2)she was thinking "long term" but making "short term" game moves. Yes, backstabbing worked for her this week, but are her new "friends" going to stick with her? Her whole argument about being in final 3 with J/J was ridiculous. I mean, for one thing, what were the odds they would even make final 3? But if she had been loyal, when eventually one of them was voted off, the other would have stuck with her. Plus, Jeff and Jordan aren't the only ones who, if in final 3 wouldn't take her to final 2...look around Shelley...I can think of very few scenarios in which you would be the one ANY of them would take... I feel sorry for her daughter, who seemed to have more sense and integrity than Shelly.
