Rachel took the bull by the horns today
and layed it out for James. If James wants to have a chance to win
the game he has to start working with Rachel and her alliance. She
simply said that the votes are in and the 'game' is over - all that is
left now is surviving because the way people will vote is very apparent
and the only possible way James can win is to be in the final two with
someone from Rachel's alliance..
Rachels math is correct. Once Kaysar
or Janelle is out of the house we will be down to the Jury and two finalists.
That is a total of nine people - five of which will be the "Friendship"
alliance. So the math is very simple.
Assuming the voting is the same as last
year (Seven votes) If only one "friendship" alliance member makes it to
the final two then the other four will vote for that person and have a
majority. If two 'friendship' alliance members make it then one is
guarenteed to win.
The
ONLY possible way for James to win is to be up against Janelle, Rachel,
Howie or Kaysar (of course Kaysar or Janelle will be gone). Then
the "friendship" alliance may vote for James just because they dislike
the others more.
All James had to say was he had not thought
of that and he would consider it. Rachel told him that he could discuss
it with anyone she wanted - there were no secrets anymore - all the cards
are on the table now.
