As other have mentioned, I could care less as well-which one goes this week as that alliance has been split up. Ideally I'm with James and feel Shelli leaving would be best for everyone as she is, for sure, the head of the snake and Vanessa is trying to resurrect it so regardless of what happens you can be sure Vanessa will take over controlling interest. Of course now Vanessa and Austin feel keeping Shelli will place the target on her over them so of course they want to keep her.
These HG are not that smart--in fact I have called them idiots on many occasions. True, hiding behind a target works for a while, but now that they are half way through the game, you need to get rid of the strong players. James is trying to do just that, and for the rest of the HG, they should take advantage of this especially since they are all so afraid "to get blood on their hands"! The idea is to get to the end of the game being the last person left in the house so keeping one twin until the other can come in is stupid, as is keeping strong players to hide behind. If Vanessa was so worried about hiding then maybe she shouldn't be trying to win so much and maybe stop playing the game so hard. Now that Jeff and Audrey are gone it seems Vanessa needs to take that place.
Yes it is true James needs to be a little more aware of what the rest of the house is really thinking. (ie: Becky and Steve) making votes that he feels are going his way and are not. The fact that his allies Meg and Jackie are there, Meg needs to either start winning things or start being more observant of what is going on. At least Jackie isn't afraid, much like James, for taking control of things. The feeds are going to be slow until Wednesday night when the real campaigning happens. Unless you enjoy listening to Vanessa speaking a mile a minute and in complete circles you probably won't find things very interesting.
