| I know that most of the people are now rooting for Rachel for the win. I agree that she has played the best game of the remaining 3 and all of that.
Also, I do not believe that the money/prizes that anybody has already won should have anything to do with jury votes or does it make them any less deserving to win.
That being said, there have been rumors floating around all summer (none of them being confirmed) that the vets automatically got $25,000 as their stipend just for entering the house.
How many of you would let that affect your vote if you were in the jury and had knowledge of that rumor being confirmed? Would that change your vote for AC? |

IMO it shouldn't matter what the HG's get for the stipend.........if they win the grand prize or A/C well in my books they deserve it...........the stipend is just extra.

| I'm with Aqua on this ... it's got NOTHING to whatsoever to do with anyone, what the vets received ... BB is about the "game" (not the stipend). |

Exactly!!!!!!! 
BB is about the game not how much stipend you received or money throughout the game...if that was the case Jeff would be out of the running....and that frankly wouldn't be fair

True! and if ED was still in the game - he'd be out too (because I'm positive he was paid the most out of everyone to go on the show - last minute too! They only gave him 1-2 days to get ready and be on that plane!). |

That would NOT effect my vote in the least way. For me it is all about game.

| Yes, it would affect my vote for America's favorite but not for the final two. |

Ginger,
Could you explain why that would affect your vote? Isn't Americas favorite supposed to be about who is your favorite and not about who needs money, has the least money, etc. I have always voted Americas favorite based on who entertains me the most |

Yes, but the reason the stipend would affect me is because I usually have a favorite and a close second. So if my favorite is a Vet... and my 2nd is a newbie... I would give the newbie my favorite player vote since my actual favorite already has 25,000. That way my favorite and my 2nd favorite both get something.... |

You know what your right....Kalia should have won the game. Why?....because she was the perttest..NO! She was the nicest! NO!....she was.....caught dancing with the devil by the pale moon light.
Game over......she lost and you can yell consperecy theries all day long it still will not change the fact...Rachel won and Kalia lost...making her a loser.
Not a loser in life, just a loser in the game of BB. She has a good voice and I hope she persues her dream of going to broadway. |

ote
she is the prettiest, but on a sidenote, i said the game was rigged from the beginning so it is irrelevant whether kalia wins. and yes i know raCHEL WON, the point is she was gonna win no matter what, that's a fact.... |

| Perhaps we need to go over the definitions of fact versus opinion. Seems to be some confusion here.  |

And would it affect your vote if your "favorite noobie" who was getting less stipend by CBS, but lived in a mini-mansion and came from a very wealthy background ... while the "favorite vet", who's getting a higher stipend, but lives in a tiny little apartment?
How would it affect your vote then? |
