Rachel is a competitor on Big Brother. She doesn't let us forget this. The irony of it all is that by keeping Adam instead of Shelly, she'd be rewarding the ultimate floater.

After the events of this past week, Rachel controlled who stayed and who went last night. Shelly was not about to go quietly, that's for sure. She fought hard to stay.

Did it pay off, though? Would Rachel and Jordan take someone to the final five that they knew they could beat, or discard the ultimate dead weight once and for all?

It made for a very interesting episode heading into the home stretch. For a full rundown on last night, follow the link for THG's comprehensive Big Brother recap!
