re: Official Big Brother 17 Season Long Thread (Spoilers/Live Feeders/Maybe NSFW)

Usually lurk, but had to respond to part of your comment.

I agree with most of what you said. Although Vanessa has blood on her hands, she is sitting pretty with most (if not all) house guests at the moment. She is way ahead of all of the other house guests. But, Vanessa is in no way logical or poised.

Most of her instincts and gut feelings have been wrong. She is extremely paranoid, which is defined as "exhibiting or characterized by extreme and irrational fear or distrust of others." She has to make up lies, stories, and berate/question people ad nausseum until she gets an answer that she believe confirms her own paranoid reasons for putting people up.

Couple that with her: (a) refusal to back door Audrey because it would hurt the LBGT community, but yet not applying the same rationale to Jason, and (b) her continual statements that no one gets away with lying to her but yet not back footing Austin for lying to her numerous times, shows she is anything but rational.

That said, being rational isn't a requirement to win the game and right now she probably got the best shot.
