[Macie Lightfoot]

I guess the biggest example for why I appreciate Jackie a lot was the aftermath of Jason getting blindside-nominated. She was truly in top form as the Nancy Drew of the house, slowly putting the pieces together all day long and woke James and Meg the **** up as to what was really going on in the house (well, at least as much as James and Meg can be woken up.) The Sixth Sense really is one of the best dominant alliances we've seen bc even though they predictably in power for like six weeks straight, they were completely dysfunctional because there were always at least two or three people fighting and scheming against each other each week. Still, what BB17 was lacking at the time was an opposing group who was ready to strike and Jackie's the one who really got the ball rolling for the ADC (an alliance that she wasn't even formally a part of, but was forced into after the whole Dark Moon fiasco.)

IDK, I know it's definitely lame to be one of those assholes who says "well if you didn't watch the feeds you just wouldn't get it " but the edited episodes really did her no justice. I was GLUED to the feeds that Monday as Jackie gradually figured out the Sixth Sense and it really kick-started the best three week stretch this show has seen since BB11. My personal favorite moment of the day was Jackie marching up to the HOH Room and putting Shelli on the spot by asking her directly if she was part of "that majority" that wanted Jason to go, and Shelli was just left there fumbling over her own words as she seethed at Jackie's existence for the rest of her time on the show.
