Here's my theory on why Jerry chose Memphis to make a deal for the final two. The cast has nothing to do all day and this must constantly go through their heads on who to take.
Dan:
First off, there's absolutely no reason for Jerry to make a deal with Dan anymore. Dan has proven himself over and over again that he can't be trusted. The way he screwed over Ollie by playing him all week must rank up there in BB history as one of the most bitter exits ever.
Even though Jerry knows that bringing Dan to the final two would be a lock for Jerry to win, he can't take anything Dan says at face value. He too has been screwed over by Dan in the same way when Dan lied to him all week long and then pulling the switch to vote out Jessie. They don't know that he's America's player but it hurts a lot to be lied to like that all week. Had Dan came out from the start and said what he was going to do (which he could'nt at the time), they would've given him more slack.
Not to mention that Jerry hates Dan now and he would rather stab a pencil in his eye than giving Dan a chance to win it all. If I was in Jerry's shoes I would do the same. No way can I trust Dan to make a deal, that's just ******ed. How many times can he be screwed over?
Renny:
Renny is one person who Jerry does not want to take to the final two. Renny is much liked around the house and really hasn't done much to the evicted houseguests. Being well liked and having no blood on your hands is a deadly combo to bring to the final two. No way is Jerry bringing Renny to final two and rightfully so.
Keesha:
Same goes for Keesha who I think would be a mistake to bring to final two with Jerry. Keesha has caused problems for the house but in the end she's a really tough competitor. If the house votes by gameplay, (which they will unless Dan gets to the final two) then Keesha will be a lock to win it all. She's won many competitions and is an instrumental part of the gameplay this season. If it was down to Jerry and Keesha, then Keesha would win it all. It's not like Jerry has a lot of friends in this jury.
Memphis:
Which leaves Memphis. I think Jerry does have a shot to win it all against Memphis. There is some merit that if the 75 yr old guy gets to the end people may vote for Jerry. Memphis has hardly done anything, and won only one veto. He's not really a big part of the gameplay this season. Of course behind the scenes and in the live feeds, he is running the show. But Jerry does not know that. As far as Jerry sees it, Memphis is somewhat honorable and there's a chance he can live up to the deal. Jerry is essentially rolling the dice that Memphis would keep his word. Jerry knows that besides Dan (who there's no way he can make a deal with), Memphis is the next person that he can actually win against. Renny and Keesha are too tight for Jerry to make a deal with. As far as Jerry sees it, Dan put up Memphis on the block so there's a chance that Memphis may harbour some ill feelings towards Dan.
All in all Jerry is taking a risk that may not work out for him. However his options are very limited on what he can do. Making a deal with Dan is out of the question.
