Big Brother Jury: Would you try to convince others to vote your way?

If you were in the jury of the Big Brother house, and you knew 100% you liked Adam, but you weren't sure what everyone else was going to do, would you fight, argue, and debate with the other jury members? What benefit would you get out of that? I can see if you HATE the other person that you might want to see them lose, but what if you liked both people and just wanted one to win over the other? It seems like at this point you are out of the game really and you should just relax. Why get all worked up about which of these 2 strangers wins the money? You really don't know much about them and until you watch the show you don't even really know how they played the game! I would feel dumb if I went on and on defending Ryan, for example, and then found out he was out to get me the whole time. Discussing voting is fine, but I would just not get too worked up about it like I feel some of these people did. What do you think you would do? And what do you think about how the Jury was discussing voting (and trying to pressure each other)?

To be honest, I don't know what I would do. I would probably give pros and cons for both hgs and try to help the other members decide by giving them information to help them make an informed decision. And, I would hope that my fellow jury members would do the same for me by giving me info I might not already have had. So, I don't know that I would argue someone into submission. In the end, I couldn't be sure that they would vote for whom I was voting for anyway so, it would be a moot point. So, I would do my best to exchange info with the other jury members to make an informed decision and help them make an informed decision but, I wouldn't fight them into voting my way.

Yeah talking about it is one thing, it's when they argue or make the other person feel bad for wanting to vote a certain way that bothers me. The best way to do it is like you said, sit in a pow wow and talk about everything that you know and share. Of course, even stuff you know many be false info b/c you might not have known the truth with allt the liars in this game :)

Exactly what I would do. I'd listen to everyone rant and rave but unless someone in the final 2 was a mass murderer I probably would keep my mouth shut. I probably wouldn't even tell who I was voting for just to avoid getting yelled at!
