I agree with you on all counts. And having Daniele out did help Cassi's chances out, since Daniele also wanted Cassi out, mainly since she wanted to be Dominic's closest ally. Of course, if I'd been there instead of Shelly, I'd have ensured that I was Cassi's closest ally and Daniele would've had nothing to fear. Anyway, here are the first five jurors:

Jeff -- he wasn't as good at plotting and scheming as Cassi or even Dicque, he was too obviously on the veterans' side, he was inflexible in terms of whose side he'd be on and he was a major challenge threat. In his first eviction, he also lost control of his emotions and failed to pretend to be nice and act like an adult. Although he came to his senses, the damage was done and it affected his second eviction to some degree.

Dicque -- although he was more flexible than any of the other veterans, his biggest problem was that he was a strategic threat. It didn't help that he was nasty, although most of that was strategy -- especially when he was up against the very sweet Jordan.

Dominic -- he was openly against the veterans from Day 1 and next to Cassi, he was the biggest challenge and strategic threat. And with Cassi winning the PoV and using it to save herself, he didn't have a chance.

Jordan -- she was simply the last veteran left in the game, plus the nicest person left other than maybe Cassi. Her lack of challenge prowess saved her for a bit, but it couldn't save her when she most needed it.

Kalia -- she was simply the biggest challenge threat left other than Cassi and Porsche. But her biggest problem was that she allowed her emotions to control her, couldn't pretend to be nice, and didn't act like an adult. Being lazy didn't help her cause either.
