BB11: What's a Guy To Do?

Hey y'all. Watching the Big Brother 11 feeds this long weekend has been similar to watching paint dry. They slept, they ate ... they slept, they ate ... and oh yeah, Kevin and Natalie played chess.

The only real excitement was watching Natalie threaten Kevin. Kevin told Natalie last night that the Diary Room told him that he'd be better off keeping Michele. Oh boy, did Mount St. Natalie erupt. She reminded him that he swore on his boyfriend, his family, etc. that it would be him and her in the Final 2, nevermind that she made her own F2 deal with Jordan. She went on and on with various threats and finally she said that if he kept Michele, not only would he lose HER jury vote, but that he'd also lose Jessie's.

That is cockamamie on a couple of fronts. Number 1, Natalie cannot guarantee Jessie's vote, and number 2, if he's up against Natalie in the finals, he won't have those two votes anyway. Kevin should know that Jessie didn't care for him, so why would he count on that vote?

Now, without a doubt, Kevin has a big choice. Natalie is bullying him into keeping Jordan. I think he's afraid of Natalie, and afraid of making her mad. This is similar to him being afraid to save his BFF Lydia when she was on the block because it would have made Chima mad. He also thinks that Jordan is an idiot and that he'd be able to steamroll over her in the Final Head of Household competition. I can understand that, but this is Big Brother and in Big Brother, stuff happens. That final part of the HoH competition is usually a crapshoot with no skill required. If she were to beat Natalie in one of the first two parts and make it to the third, she could win. That's an especially good point since Natalie has a F2 deal with Jordan and may throw a part to her ... to keep her hands clean.

Natalie would be sitting pretty if Kevin were to keep Jordan. She has a deal with both to take her to the finals and she wouldn't have to win anything and keep her word to each. If she doesn't win, she doesn't make the choice, therefore, she didn't break her word to take them with her. Kevin's biggest nightmare would be for Jordan to win the final competition because then he'd be joining his fellow jurors on question night.

If Kevin were to keep Michele, he'd be in Natalie's spot. No way either of those females would take each other the finals, and while he couldn't completely relax, he wouldn't have to worry about going out 3rd. Granted, on paper, Michele wouldn't be as easy to beat in the final HoH as Jordan, but even if she won, he'd go to the Finals. And since he's good with words and she isn't, he'd still have a very good chance of winning the big money.

The downside to that is having to listen to Natalie's mouth for the next few days. She'd be furious and I'm sure that she'd let him know all about it. Worth it? I think so, but all I have to do is turn off the feeds. What do y'all think? Who should Kevin keep tonight on Big Brother 11, Michele or Jordan? And who do you think will win this first part of the Final Endurance competition? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts ...
