Talks of pawns and backdoors at F7 are just stupid, leave Nikki off the block and you've got three votes secured and the other side just has one.

Personally I think if she wants the brothers gone she should put Jared and Kelsey up with the argument that the brothers are unlikely to win the Veto so they can just take one of them down and put them up. If you leave Jared and/or Kelsey off the block you run the risk of one of them winning the Veto, taking the brothers down or the other one down and forcing yourself to put up someone on your own side, reducing the numbers to 2-2 again or even 3-1 for Jelsey/brothers

See to me, that wouldn't be a smart move given how emotional of a player Kelsey is. It's in Cassandra's best interest to never put Kelsey up if she wants to go final 2 with her as an easy person to beat. Also, yes a vote switch could happen but do you really think Tim/Joel would turn on Cass/Nikki just to side with Jared/Kelsey who are already the biggest threats in the house? That would just mean switching to a side whereby they become the lowest on the totem pole which is a position you definitely don't want to have to be in, come final 5/6. I mean time will tell, and I know we all love Nikki so it sucks to see her on the block, but I really think Cassandra has this covered and will come out on top after this week is through.

But time will tell, and if i'm wrong you by all means can tell me "I told you so".
