5. He thinks he can actually beat Rachel or Jordan

6. He thinks because they brought Tori Spelling in he will be some huge fan favorite when he leaves the house.

7. Rachel and Jordan both promised him they'd buy him a shit load of bacon with their winnings.

8. He was afraid he may end up eating Kalia had she stayed in the house any longer.

Well, they took ED out of it, so his fans can't cheat him to a win. Jordan would have it EASILY, but it does seem like, even though I don't watch others, that votes often lean towards men that women find to be sexy. The lonely housewife vote is what I've heard it called at Jokers, so if they go for Jeff, I can't see him losing. If they've moved on or were less rabid this season, it will be Jordan.

OR it will be whomever Allison wants to give it to, which still should be either Jeff or Jordan.

I know Jeff and Jordan have there haters and I've really never tried to argue with anyone on an opinion, but if you did like Jeff at all, a lot of the "charm" he had on his first season, I don't think he had this season. Another thing that might help Jordan is that it might be a fan's way of giving her a consolation prize, because so many people wanted her to be in the F2.

But this "lonely housewife" vote is the only thing between Jordan and the money imo. Jordan was ranked number 1 on the Jokers poll almost every day, but like 3 and 1 of those days was before they'd announced the Vets officially and I think Cassie or Dom was number 1 that day. But, since nothing has gone my way this season, I'd pick Jeff.

Re: Big Brother 13 (CBS)

So, $25K for AP + $15K in "BB" competitions + stipend money = not a bad summer for Jeff, all things considered. That's almost as much as what Adam will make on finale night (tsk, tsk ). At least Jeff can now pay back to Jordo for the eye surgery she paid for.

She'd never take his money (And there's still a chance she could win the vote). I, for the life of me, can't get why some people don't like Jordan as a person. It was kind of clear from day 1 that she didn't want to be there and agreed to do it naively thinking "Big Jeff" could easily win this time.

So, her lack of effort can't be surprising and anyone who follows the show knows she wasn't really even a fan before she played.

But every single thing I've seen her do, other than the few rare moments that we all have, bad mouthing someone in our daily lives, she's been one of the most genuine and nicest people ever to play. Does that mean you should want her to win? Hell, no. But I can't see why there's any hate for her at all.

She was even really nice to Adam today, when a lot of other house guests would have, at the very least, ignored him.

Every nasty thing I said about Rachel I meant, but I still pray to G-d that she wins. Adam is just a waste and Porsche would kind of be like Natalie winning. Different people with different personalities that I just would still equally be sick to see win 500k.

And, while there might be some early advantages for Porsche for getting this far, or even winning a reality show, her dream of being on the show to become some kind of celebrity will never come to fruition. She's really never stood out, other than for being incredibly boring, and if you can't stand out with this cast of newbies, that's really saying something. From what I've been reading and seeing, it's been a lot of people who've expressed that they think "anybody but Porsche" as the winner this season is how they're feeling at this point.

I think someone said there will be nothing BB related on Sunday. Some 9/11 special and that's followed by the Good Wife.

I really did not like Jordan at all this season but I feel really sad for her because I think she genuinely loves Jeff and did this season and TAR for him. Once he milks all the money dry from reality tv famedom from the commodity that is Jordeff I think this slick oil salesman is gonna leave her high and dry.

I kinda thinks its hilarious Adam and Porsche think they will be fan favorites or reali celebrities when they get out when I think 98% of the fans will be indifferent to them and in Porsches case obsessive Jordeff fans might hate her as much as Shelley and harass her for her role in evicting the power couple.

Re: Big Brother 13 (CBS)

Fun show tonight. How could know-it-all-about "BB" Adam lose a POV that was all about this season's trivia? Whatever, Porsche pulled through when it mattered and made herself an F3 finalist. Unlike the past two seasons it won't be an eyesore to peek into the "BB" house between tonight and finale night. Highlights:

-Jordan's sense of entitlement when she couldn't get from Adam a promise that he wouldn't put her on the block. She calls Adam a do-nothing floater without an iota of irony? Girlfriend, please!

-The "BB" editors cutting to footage of Porsche adjusting her bust when Jordan mentioned that the former used her femenine gifts to entice Adam to take Porsche to Final 3 ;

-Jordan and Rachel crying bitter tears when Porsche won POV (delicious!) only this time it was Jordan consoling Rachel (nice 'yang' to the couple's post-Shelly bonding 'ying');

-Local NYC CBS affiliate breaking into "BB" with news of credible threats of potential terrorist attacks on 9/11 with the anchorwoman saying 'don't worry, you won't miss a minute of Big Brother...' Glad the security of the nation won't take a backseat to Jordo's conversation with Julie.

Re: Big Brother 13 (CBS)

I love Jordan, I'm going to miss her, she's horrible at the game but I don't really care.

Rachel is the ugliest crier I've ever seen.

Porsche has the most monotone boring voice. I hate seeing her confessionals.

Adam does not have single ball in his pants. He can't make a decision to save his life. He is by far the least deserving of the 3 left.

Dumb fucking move by Porsche, but I'm glad Rachel's still in it. Jesus, I really hope it's not a Porsche/Adam finale.

Jordan would have beaten anyone in the f2 and the f3 hoh is always a crapshoot. Why was it a dumb move?

Re: Big Brother 13 (CBS)

A: Because there is always on endurance challenge in the final 3 and and it's always the first one. Jordan sucks at those and Rachel is the best in the house.

B. There is always some sort of trivia challenge in the final 3 and again Jordan sucks at those.

Rachel will make it to the third F3 challenge and have a 50/50 shot at making the final 2. Jordan would have had to get extremely lucky to make it to the third F3 challenge.

A. I agree part 1 is always endurance Rachel will probably win that

B. No they don't

When Jordan won part 2 and 3 on her season part 2 was a random skeeball type challenge and part 3 every season since forever is guess how jurors answered arbitrary crapshoot questions
example
When asked what kind of reindeer they would be which juror said they would be a flying reindeer A.some juror B.some other juror

She won part 2 against Natalie, who was worse at the comps than Jordan-and that's saying something, although her heart was at least in it that season. I don't like either Adam or Porsche, but both are far more coordinated than Jordan. Jordan had almost a zero chance of winning the final HOH.

Kevin finished 3rd precisely because he went with the same conventional wisdom everyone else in this thread is going with that Jordan can't win the final HOH.

Porsche and Adam neither would have been a lock to beat her in endurance,Grodner can always tailor part 2 to Jordan and part 3 is always a 50/50 pick em with a slight edge to a social player like Jordan.

Completely agree.

I don't want to see Adam win, but if it was between him and Porsche, I'd rather see him win. Porsche is the most boring contestant ever. Okay.. she has played a decent game, but even with that and even though she is attractive, it's like she is not even there. She just disappears into the background. For that simple reason, I'd rather see Adam win between the two of them. He played a ball-less game, but it worked for him. Floaters may be looked down upon, but it is a strategy that works. I think the only reason Portion made it to day 55 and started playing was nobody realized she was there lol.

I hope Rachel cries her way into the winner's chair I have to laugh at Rachel's histrionics, but she really settled down this season once "Bookie" left. I think Jordan was a good influence on her. I realize that will last for about 2 minutes and she'll most likely blow the money if she wins, but I hope she pulls it off.

Re: Big Brother 13 (CBS)

Anyone else think the confessionals are almost entirely scripted and the contestants are reading off a teleprompter? Rachel gives it away the most by being bad at it, but many times it looks like some of the Diary Room monologues are being read off a teleprompter.

There's not even a doubt about it. There are real moments they use, but there are many things that they're told to say. They actually take so long in the DR, not only to get a lot of info and to be fed ideas to bring back into the house/game, but because they need to do so many takes. Personally, I thought Porsche was worse than anyone. It's kind of funny that Jordan actually makes hers pretty good. I guess when you're really not that smart, you don't really think about acting for the camera.

I've tried to figure out a way to see Rachel winning and I can't. Other than B, J, and J, I don't see her getting the 4th vote from anyone even if she's with Adam. I think it's going to just come down to bitterness and "newbie" bs.

It's actually more than what Adam will make, since they gave the vets $25k to do the show.

I see terror theater every day in Penn and Grand Central and Port Authority in NYC. It has less to do with reality than big brother.
