VTE Josh: Cody, Elena, Mark VTE Ramses: Paul, Christmas, Matt, Raven, Alex Wild Cards: Jason (likely to do what Alex demands him to do); Kevin (likely to throw a hinky vote) My only hope left is that both Kevin and Jason go wild and vote Josh out. That would make the score tied. 3 Link to comment

She just has to announce before the vote that she wants to use it. Which, if I were Big Brother, I would be calling Jessica into the DR first (if she wasn't HoH) every week until the Halting Hex was over so that she could privately use it, have everyone vote like normal, and then have a locked door when the person voted out went to leave. Then have Julie pop on the screen and explain about the Halting Hex being used and so on and so forth. 4 Link to comment

There are drawbacks to how I would roll with it. If Jessica is the first in the DR (save for HoH weeks) for three weeks, someone *coughPaulcough* would notice. As HoH, if they were still doing the private HoH/Julie chats that they used to before the vote, it could be used then. But then I like to think of their twists and work them out for maximum drama. If they hadn't applied the "before the vote" contingency to it, it could have been a lot of fun. I mean, it probably will still be a lot of fun when it's used, if only for the look on Paul's face, but it will be short-lived. 1 Link to comment

gunderda July 24, 2017 Share July 24, 2017 Ramses went to Jessica earlier yesterday evening about having a feeling that he might be the one they are going to vote out. If he didn't go back to her after getting confirmation from Kevin about it... then he's a dumbass. She told him that if at any point she felt he might go home she would take him off. Unfortunately Cody talked her out of that a couple of times. And so did Elena since she's clueless. 1 Link to comment
SiobhanJW July 24, 2017 Share July 24, 2017 Ramses had SEVERAL times where he could of went and spoke to Jess last night. He also could of woken her up and spoken to her, his game life is on the line and if he wants to be in the game he should of been more proactive. Especially after Kevin told him to go and talk to Jessica ASAP, and also he was laying in the middle room last night and some people were slipping up. If he doesn't want to save himself that's all on him. 6 Link to comment

There is just no logic behind Cody not wanting to take Ramses down and Ramses, of course, sucks, and it is all just so depressing. I don't even like Cody and Jessica and I could care less about Ramses, but it is the principle of it all that just gets to me.

Callaphera July 24, 2017 Share July 24, 2017 I just don't understand why Jessica didn't take a shot at Paul as soon as his immunity was over. I know that we know that she wouldn't have the votes (or might not, without some serious game work being done in the house). But some close observation of the house should tip them off that all the other HGs are so far up Paul's ass, they're tickling his uvula. Some promises, some deals - that you can go back on strategically, provided you don't go back on all of them at once - and you might be able to get the numbers. You'd need the right block partner for him but it would have been possible. Sometimes, this outside looking in perspective sucks. Because you can see the ways that they can wiggle their way in if it's done carefully and by a good game player, yet hey, let's waste an HoH on Ramses/Josh on the block. Why not? It's a trust exercise! Too bad no one's gonna be there to catch them when they go to fall back. 7 Link to comment

If you want Ramses in the house for your game, you pull him down and put someone up that you, don't care if they leave and also someone that you don't think the house would flip on. Honestly I think Alex would of been her best bet- there is no way that the two of them would ever see eye to eye. She put you up last week and you say I'm just making sure that Josh leaves so to pay you back I'm putting you up Alex. Josh I think would totally go home over Alex. 3 minutes ago, Callaphera said: I just don't understand why Jessica didn't take a shot at Paul as soon as his immunity was over.

Especially since she has the Halting Hex, it allows her the flexibility to be a bit more ballsy. She knows if she takes a shot and misses, at least she has the HH to fall back on if he retaliates. Also, if you backdoor him- you have 4 days to convince the rest of the house to get rid of him. That's a lot of time. I know he'll be hustling as well- but then so should you.

He has too many people willing to fall on a sword for him. They'd all sacrifice the other person beside him, whether that's Mark, Raven, Kevin, or whoever. He'd get them all to vote out the person he was up against. Unfortunately, these minions are too snowed by Paul right now. Though they could have gotten out an ally, but Jody still believe that they're not immediate targets and they can save themselves an extra week...which they can't, because everyone in the house will be gunning for them (or Mark). Also, I think they all believe that Paul is still safe this week...even though Cody said in his DR during Battle Back that Paul's safety would be up. It might be simple for us outside of the house, but it's sometimes more complicated inside. We know that Jody's not safe at all next week. They, however, have no idea. 3 Link to comment

It would be a hell of a move to pull off if they could do it. The key would be picking up the stragglers that are on the outside. If you can get Jason away from Alex's influence, if you can talk to Kevin, if you bring Ramses to your side, etc. Even if they can't quite pull it off, a vote that's not unanimous (three or four for Paul, the rest evicting the other block warmer) could be enough to shake the other side. Then you start the argument "Well, if it's you against Paul on the block next week, are you going to throw away your chance at half a million so that he can stay? Are you willing to go before jury to keep Paul here?" It would depend on a lot of luck, too. The anti-Paul side would have to win HoH (and likely Veto). Even if you're slowly chipping away at his minions while he evades you, you would weaken him. But the real problem wouldn't be the luck. The real problem is Jessica and Cody would not only have to stop fucking every minute of the day, they would actually have to *gasp* leave the HoH room and commune with the unwashed masses. And we all know that ain't gonna happen. A Vanessa could pull it off, though it would be messy and involve a lot of tears and blood on hands. Sadly, there are no Vanessas in the house this year.

SiobhanJW July 24, 2017 Share July 24, 2017 The Story of Jess & Cody this week: Cody: I'm going to listen to whatever Jessica wants to do- since I was an idiot last time and she's going to control the game going forward. Jessica to Cody: You are going to listen to what I want to do and I am going to control our game moving forward. Because you were an idiot last time Jessica to Cody: I made great strides this week and integrated myself into the house. HOH COMP: It is 10 v. 2 and everyone tries to rattle them and get them out of the game- by not only making Josh scream and yell Meatball a thousand times- but they were allowed to give punishments to them- and they literally got THEM ALL except one. So clearly you have no allies and they want you both gone. Jess wins HOH. Cody to Jessica: You should put up Ramses because he has no Allies. Jessica: Okay, sounds great. Nominations & Veto played.- Jess wins Veto. Jessica to Cody: I feel uneasy about leaving Ramses on the block because I have a feeling they will stab us in the back, and I want Ramses in the game. So I think I should pull him down and put Alex up. Cody: Well if they do then we know that they did it- and I'll make their life a living hell- Plus Alex is the best ever in all the land of ever- so just keep Ramses up there- they aren't going to do that- they all know better. They are going to do what the HOH wants. Jess to Cody: You are right Cody I should always listen to you- you are so smart. End Scene. So Ridiculous. They deserve to be blindsided thinking that people are going to follow the HOH & that Jess has made strides in the house. THEY WANTED YOU BOTH OUT OF THE COMP. I can't. 12 Link to comment

yankee1151 July 24, 2017 Share July 24, 2017 (edited) See, I don't think it matters if they have the votes to get out Paul or not. They have nothing to lose by taking the shot as he will be coming after them anyway. If he stays (likely), he will have served the pawn purpose they are going for much better than Ramses ever could. Their target, Josh, would leave as planned. If the minions decide to wake up and vote Paul out, it's a huge win for Jess/Cody (and the rest of the house too - which is why MAYBE the minions would be tempted to take the shot if he was up there as none of them would have to get BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS and he's out pre-jury so they're truly rid of his ass). He'd very likely stay, but what does that change for Jess/Cody? They have safety for at least another week due to the hex, and they know Paul is coming after them the first chance he gets. The problem is, I think Jess really believes that these bs "safe" noms are helping build a bridge for them with Paul's people. She's wrong, and their target w/him and his "people" will be even bigger once she uses the hex anyway. So make a fucking move, girl!! I think Elena and Jason (and Ramses, if she saves him) would be willing to work with Jess (if she can keep Cody in line), and this scenario is WAY more likely if Paul leaves. If he doesn't, they are in the exact same spot they are now, but without Josh as a number for Paul. How is this a losing proposition either way?? ETA: well...

Jessica and Cody as a pair? Nope. Edited July 24, 2017 by Callaphera 2 Link to comment

I think they care more than they want to admit. Cody was talking about losing his shit on everyone if this happened and Jess appeared to be seriously considering using the veto even though in her mind this would destroy all the good will she built up while Cody was gone (bullshit, but she believes it). Most importantly, they REALLY don't want Paul to get his way and they REALLY REALLY hate Josh. I think they very much care if Ramses goes, which is why putting up Paul (or at least Alex) would be a win/win (get out Josh, OR if the "pawn" goes home it weakens that side and gets rid of a player with, you know, ALLIES). Losing a player with zero allies (who could have potentially been a number for them, because clearly no one else wants him) and keeping a legit enemy who is also a Paul minion is more than just a waste of an HOH. It's as if Paul himself had won HOH (and Cody won veto). Ramses would go in that scenario (maybe Mark, but probably Ramses). So LOL to Jess and Cody doing the second best thing for Paul's game right now. Ugh. Jess was much better without Cody. She would have used the veto had he not come back (or perhaps made better noms to begin with). This is why I could never get on board with wanting him to win the Battle Back. Besides the fact that he's a psycho tool whose only redeeming quality as far as I can see is that he wants to get rid of Paul (but apparently not now, so whatever dude), he's also TERRIBLE at this game and makes Jess second guess her own ideas which are at the very least, not complete delusions like his own. This season sucks. Kevin and Xmas are the only ones I don't hate who are also playing the game, and both are still currently up Paul's ass at least to some degree. I can't even find humor in Raven's OTT death declarations anymore because I want to punch her in the throat every time she appears. 2 Link to comment

I know this is a very dated reference (because I'm old), but it does sound like something Samantha would have to say on Bewitched. Edited July 24, 2017 by vb68 6 Link to comment
Wings July 24, 2017 Share July 24, 2017 Come on DR, it is time to question Kevin on just why he wants Ramses out and wants to keep Josh. Is this what YOU want or are you just going along. Come on, you can do this. God knows you have done worse, ask Dom, she talks to him. Link to comment

Who, coincidentally, could give Raven some makeup tips. Okay, "amazing" might be pushing it. 3 minutes ago, vb68 said: I know this is a very dated reference (because I'm old), but it does sound like something Samantha would have to say on Bewitched.

zorak July 24, 2017 Share July 24, 2017 Jessica is telling Cody that Christmas asked her permission to vote for Ramses. Jessica wants it to be unanimous and told her so. Link to comment
gunderda July 24, 2017 Share July 24, 2017 Kevin has had 4 surgeries in his hand. That's why he didn't last long in the comp. His family told him to be careful what he did with that hand during comps. Link to comment

ETA - Mark, not Matt. Same/same in terms of usefulness.... Edited July 24, 2017 by yankee1151 2 Link to comment
