I guess it will be Russ vs Lori after the veto.. Rachel is a beast.
So who do you want out Parker?

I mean if we can strike a deal with Lori that if she wins the next HoH she at least puts up Rachel as one of the two noms, then I'd say we evict Russell because Lori is the best counter to Rach possibly winning Head of Household. Otherwise I think she has to go and it'd be up to you & Cassandra getting it.
Because from what Rachel was saying before I made noms, she felt like Lori was avoiding or distancing herself from her, probably because of everything that's gone on. We just have to kind of push the fact to Lori that she'd have the best chance of getting to the F2 if we work together in getting Rachel out, someone who's one the most number of competitions and maneuvered themselves strategically to this point (even managing to get one of her subjects to use the veto on her lol).

I know.. plus she'll auto win if she makes it to the f2. Lori has a better shot of winning pov against Rachel if they're up together which would be good. It's a tough call.

Well the thing is with Lori... she's not as strong as Rachel in challenges. We have a better chance of beating her than we do Rachel in a straight up fight competition-wise.

Yeah it's a really tough call honestly. Just looking at the BB9 voting history and Lori won 4 HoHs and 1 PoV, so one of my fears is that she'll just come on some big comp spree at the end. But like we said, Rachel could easily do that too, so it's a really close call. I'm just trying to play devil's advocate because I think it's something to consider for all of us. I'm not leaning toward one way or the other in particular yet. Just some food for thought ya know?

Lori PMed me and said that she regrets not getting rach out sooner.. which implies she's no longer going to work with her moving forward.. Russ would definitely still team with Rachel if he won HoH. I'd hate to see a Russ/Rachel f2.. either way we are giving them a huge blow. Ultimately I think having Lori vs Rachel in future comps will be the only way to stop Rachel's challenge run and take her out b4 the finals. Lori we can work.. Russ I fear is going to stay with Rachel til death do they part.

Lori and Russell have a VERY strong bond though. And by bond, I mean that Lori has him by the balls. It was the same last season. Even though Russell was seen as a bigger player and a threat, he still did what Lori told him. He tells her whatever info she needs and sells out whoever he needs to.
The thing that really sets them apart for me is how Rachel's game is pretty much done. She HAS to win Comps at this point to stay alive, everyone knows that. The second she fucks up, she's done. But Lori's game is far from over. She clearly knows the right things to say to the right people and knows what she's doing. I'm just worried that she's playing all of us and we won't realize it until it's too late when we're sitting in the jury.
But again, it's all just food for thought. The pattern every week seems to be that something big and shocking and unexpected happens, so I just think we really need to consider all possibly scenarios.

Russell's not a problem... I mean there's the potential he could be the next Natalie Martinez and get a F5-F4 win and think he's the next coming of Jesus or whatever, but I just don't see him as a big liability even if he follows Lori's orders like a lapdog. I mean either way Russ isn't going to be on our side so even if we evict Lori now and Russell wins the next HoH; who do you think he's going to put up? Probably us and that's just my intuition talking.
I'm leaning more towards keeping Lori I won't lie. I know her game isn't over yet but between the three of us and Russell? Everything would lie on us beating Rachel in more than one of the upcoming competitions which would be quite a steep cliff to climb. With Lori, things would be a bit more balanced and an even chance for us, and then afterwards we'd just have to win the final challenges to get Lori out. I kind of like my chances more with that.
We definitely run the risk of Lori not holding true to her word, but what else do we have to lose?

Random observation; Rach & Drew have +15-20 karma while we're all in the negatives or near 0. We are such horrible people. *insert sarcasm* lol

Hey guys I'm about to make my veto decision. Please reassure Lori she's going to be OK if you two do decide to keep her. I'll be doing the same and all but she needs to know she has the votes to stay and that she isn't the target, it's just to guarantee Russell going... if you two go that direction.
