Steve has no intention of taking Vanessa to the final two if he wins round 3 because he's smart enough to know that he can't beat Vanessa. If he took her to the final two it would be the same thing as Cody taking Derrick last year and basically writing Derrick a 500k check.
Vanessa also won't take Steve even though she knows she can beat him. She will take Liz because Liz has been more loyal to her than Steve ever was.
So basically Vanessa has to win round 3 to be in control. Otherwise she goes out in third place with no money.

thats an interesting take and it could be right. i only watch the show on cbs and dont follow a bunch of behind the scenes stuff
i just find that people are bitter and at the end of the day they weigh their decision way more heavily on who they like (want to give 500k) to far more than game play. game play comes in when people are choosing a lesser of two evils or are indifferent. i got the impression that vanessa rubbed a lot of people the wrong way (including america) and i suspect liz isolated herself but had a decent relationship with the jury (compared to vanessa) but that could be wrong
i think steve is that harmless little brother that grew throughout the season. they will respect his game in hindsight. also socially that little brother thing eases the sting on their ego (ian won that year easily). they changed his hair/look and hes talked about growing socially and credited them. people eat that **** up. on top of that he has the super fan thing as well. everyone loves the underdog story
i guess the votes will tell us the real story but this is just what i've gathered from the live show
one thing that is interesting with the cast and twin twist is the that lack of social skills that have succeeded. this season more so than most has been played like a chess game. the flaw in that is the pieces are human. i think steve and vanessa are strategically superior to most or all of the cast but for example steve made some terrible mistakes and assumptions based on his complete lack of social skill. steve actually had no clue of his little brother under the radar persona early in the game and was paranoid. vanessa was his life line and he was clueless. totally unaware and relying on someone whos clearly ruthless. anyone who speaks with the pace, tone, and language vanessa does should immediately ring alarm bells to anyone with social intelligence. steve was isolated and waiting for her filtered version of info as his game and was scared he was on peoples radar in the process. his complete lack of awareness is really weak social skills but when youre in front of a jury i think it will be a strength
vanessa made a million social mistakes in this game but her comp was so weak it only put a bullseye on her back but never cost her the game. the heated and confrontation manner in which vanessa handled things is going to rub a lot of people the wrong way imo. people like that get way less sympathy and everyone in the jury feels like they have a knife in the back
