You could be right, but I thought Rachel would go because:

Jordan hasn't won a competion yet and is not as much of a threat as Rachel in that area.

Jordan has already won BB. I think when the vote comes, if she's one of the final 2, that some players will not vote for her since she's already won 500K.

And, Jordan is perceived as riding on Jeff's coat tails in the game. Rarely do you get votes for being perceived as not playing the game.

I guess we'll see if neither R or J wins the veto, but I certainly wouldn't count them out yet.

Since you asked! I think Jordan and Rachel would both get at least three votes if either of them make the finale - Brendon, Jeff, and they would both vote for each other. But you need four votes to win in the end, and I think Jordan has a better chance of getting Adam's vote than Rachel does. That's why I think Kalia, Porsche and Shelly will want to go after Jordan first.

But, there are still lots of twists coming, and lots of competitions left to be won - so it's anyone's game at this point!

Please pardon a brief introduction of religion into the discussion. In Asatru, the way we say this is with the description of the G rune, of which is said: "Gift asks ever for gift." We are uneager to give gifts and leerier to receive them, and this is why--it is hard to distinguish when one has redressed the balance of obligations, or whether one must.

I have found one reliable way to determine when a HG is making a promise they have no intention of keeping: when they swear by a family member.

I guess you haven't seen Survivor.

Seriously though, what did Jordan do the season she won... the same thing this season as last... ride Jeff's coattails and be sweet to everyone i.e. likeable. If she makes final, she wins. Guarantee.

If she hadn't opened Pandora's box, Rachel would have been eliminated, Shellhe and Adam would have stayed floated to her side and Portia would have a 3 in 4 chance for a favorable HOH outcome.
One flaw: Adam would still be loyal to Jordan so she would be 2 for 4.

Again, who is to say Rachel/Jordan even get off the block...

If Adam take either Rachel or Jordan to the finals, he will not win. If he takes either Portia or Kalia to the finals he may have a chance. Kalia can keep riding that "i'm keeping my word" as much as she want, but if she does not win that HOH next week she's gone. Guarantee...

You are correct... Survivor is not a show I've ever watched. And yes, you are also correct that Jordan has the likeability vote for sure.

I have to disagree that Adam would still be loyal to Jordan... I think Adam will float on over to please whatever side is in power at the moment. At least that's been his game play up to now.

And of course, this is all speculation until we see how the veto plays out!

I have coined a new term for someone who lives life vicariously through their spouse or partner, and bawls at the slightest provocation:

A Rachist.

Sounds like a dirty word.

Great headline: "Jordan beset by allegations of rachism after Jeff's eviction."
