Tonight in chat some of our listeners told us that when you went to vote for who you wanted to win the Coup D'etat that instead of having all the pictures of the eligible houseguests, there were 3 photos of Jessie. Good catch by our listeners!!! CBS.com corrected this very quickly but there is this disclaimer on their website:
IMPORTANT NOTICE -- All online votes cast before 9:20 PM EST (6:20 PT) on July 30 have been disqualified due to technical difficulties. We encourage you to vote again if you voted during this time period. We are sorry for any inconvenience
So make sure if you voted early get back there and vote again or vote some more!! Lets not assume that Jeff has got this in the bag. CBS was giving pigvomit a sympathy edit last week and you know that strictly tv viewers are alot different from us live feeders!!! They dont see all the stuff that we see. It would be absolutely horrible if pus eater would win this power. Jeff has got alot of support out there right now. Keesha and Steven BB10 and Alex BB9 are campaigning for Jeff right now on facebook!! We're right there!! Go Jeff!!
GO JEFF! That's awesome that he has the support of past hg's. This will TOTALLY change the game if he can win this!

Coup D'etat as explained to Boogie in season 7 by Chenbot
Only difference is there is only for 2 weeks rather than season 7's 3 weeks

Are we sure that poll's right? I can't believe only 2,553 people had voted. I just don't want to get my hopes up about Jeff winning. But, the way I see it, what's NOT to love about him? Hopefully all of America feels the same. I've been out of town all w/e, so I'm just now finding out the POV & renoms (I have a lot of catching up to do on the forum), but so far I'm THRILLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tj, I think the poll Erika posted was from the CBS message board, not the actual official results at that time for the official voting.
This is going to be like Kaysar getting voted back into BB6 by a landslide.
Actually, a lot of this season has been reminding me of BB6 (but that's another story I guess). But if there's a landslide like this, that should tell the BB producers that they didn't cast many likable people this year (not that they'll care). And if there isn't a landslide and/or Jeff fails to get it, it will have been so obviously fixed, though I don't think BB is willing to throw away all credibility on something that looks like they pulled it from their posteriors precisely because the game was being dominated by unpopular jerks.

yeah it was from the message board. It should be a landslide but who knows... I never understood how people voted for Crazy James to get the 25k juror vote in season 9. Then again I tend to like house guests that nobody else likes, and for the life of me most house guests that are so adored I don't get it, they could have been the most vile creature and did the most dispicable things and they had fans... amazing!

Who did you want to win it?
I was pulling for Sharon, especially because she got so blatantly screwed, in my opinion, and she played probably the best under-the-radar game we've ever seen on BB. But I wasn't unhappy with James winning it simply because he made a bad season entertaining on occasion. I just can't imagine voting for any of the others though, so it was more like "who do you hate least". It was a horrible cast. I would rather have given two jury prizes to BB10 HGs.

It's been hard to find non-vile HGs in these later seasons, so it's almost in the eye of the beholder. It's one of the interesting things about BB.
It's easy to argue that Dick was vile (because he was), but I liked him regardless because he was usually right, and it was hard to argue with that. He took people like Jameka and Dustin down a few notches and I loved it. He was entertaining about it too. In fact, I found Jameka and Dustin to be far more vile personalities than Dick. Dick was just louder.
I recall there wasn't much Dan-love on your show, but I liked him too because he didn't seem mean spirited about his shady game play. He recognized it was a game and still tried to get along with people regardless.
There's also the issue of game play. It's soooo easy to adore Renny-Dahlin'! But she was almost invisible from a game play perspective. Even if someone's vile, I find it easier to appreciate them if they at least are awake in the game versus a fun person who isn't all that interested in it.

very true and we held back alot...lol. I think what bothered me most about Dan is that he was constantly mugging for the camera's. This was simply the Dan show for him and BB watchers. Great if you liked him, horrible if you did not. The other thing that truly bothered me was the constant plotting of how he and Memphis could cheat Jerry out of his $4,000. Even when they knew they werent going to vote him out over Keesha, Dan constantly brought up how he and Memphis could tell Jerry if you hand over your money we will keep you. It sickened me and showed me a truly evil side to someone who came out smelling like a rose to most fans. Add these things to the fact that he never washed his clothes and his shorts were turning green and moldy, well lets just say, he will never be a favorite of mine...LOL.

Very true and nicely said. I have said over and over again, can't Big Brother simply forget about the Hooters girls, wannabe actors/models and emotional disasters and just get 12 very high IQed random people to play this game??

Who did I want to win the 25k juror vote? Here is where the people I usually like are the least liked. I liked Natalie... I thought she was albeit quirky, you can even say on the skanky side but I did think she played the game and was not mean spirited towards anyone and she got picked on a lot probably mainly because they knew she wasn't going to give it back.
And yes there is no Dan love ... I just found him to be a weasel and he was sickening in my opinion. He did things like the POV roulette that was not necessary, I found him to be fake and I was not one of the 12 people who purchased a Renegade t-shirt.

It just makes me nervous b/c remember Jerry won $$ at the finale for being America's favorite? (or something) OBVIOUSLY, anyone who voted for him did not have the feeds. It makes sense to me that Jeff should win by a landslide, but I honestly can't believe Jerry really had enough votes to win. I think that was a fix by Big Brother!

remember though, Jerry got a very good edit on the CBS show, which is my fear with pigvomit that he may be getting a sympathy edit with all his blubbering and Russell picking on him. Crazy James got that bullshit edit too. The loner, the underdog etc...BS!!! They never showed the vile and repulsive way he acted. Hopefully Jeff pulls this out.
