i think the social game that is played by jordan, adam and porshe is just as interesting as those who win the comps and fight so hard.
sometimes subtlety and finesse takes more talent than hanging on a swinging banana or crawling through goo.
in my opinion.
I agree that the social game is important too, Albert. It should not be overlooked in the final decision, imo. Does it take more talent? I guess that depends on the type of social play we are comparing, to a physical endurance competition. I mean lets be honest, Kalia is good at questions, but ask her what is harder, answering the questions, or moving for more than 60 seconds continously...
I honestly don't think Jordan has played much of a social game at all. She simply happened to be dating the guy who was considered a bigger threat to win competitions(and thus have power to make moves) so he was obviously going to be the target over her. And, as circumstance would have it now, Rachael is considered to be the bigger competitor in competitions. As sweet and honest as folks feel Jordan is, I have yet to hear, and/or see her do anything in the house this season, except exist.
The same goes for Adam. Although, he did win a veto... He was never a target. Even when he was on the block, he didn't have to fight and work for anything. He simply existed next to bigger perceived threats. What "social" work has he really had to do? Agree with everything everyone says? That's not great gameplay, imo of course... Should he make a move now, that would change things dramatically.
Kalia, has won some comps. Although I consider her first HOH to be a negative mark on her gameplay. Again, just my view. However, socially, she has tried and failed to really do anything by herself. Dani carried her along, as Jordan and Rachael both said today. She has only Dani to hope for a vote from the current evicted HG's, imo. And that being said, I think Dani would vote for Rachael if given the choice today. She(Dani) actually seems to respect the game she played.
Porsche is interesting, I'll agree with that. Her early social game, much like Rachael's, was nothing to brag about. But she has really done well for herself in that regard of late. And she is a good competitor as well. Probably would be my runner up to Rachael at this point, as far as all around game goes.
All respectfully my opinion, of course.
