And who is the second closest person to Porsche if not Shelley? See what I mean? A twist at F6 is always bad.

I can't believe you equate Shelley's game to Adam's. Adam has been Lydia while Shelley has made moves inspired by Cesternino.

Really? They had a choice? Who else could have been Shelley's partner?

If she hadn't flipped on Jordeff, she was doomed to lose, especially because they were attached to Rachel. There was no place for Shelley and we even said she had to go over to the other side.
>Shelley decided to make

But see, it isn't her big move that cost her, it's production interference. And the funny thing is that even if she had stayed with Jordeff and voted out Rachel, this twist would have hurt her in exactly the same way: Jordeff would have partnered up, Porsche would have nominated them and Shelley would have been the automatic replacement nominee if Jordeff had won veto.

Live and let live.
Anyway, I believe that her moral rationalization isn't for us but for her daughter. Hollow rationalization to our ears but the start of an explanation for an 8 year-old.

I'd be surprised that she thinks it gives her a free pass and it really doesn't because she will have to answer to the jury. Not us, the jury.
