Sure, but she's at the bottom on the totem pole anyways.  Who is everyone targeting after Jess and Cody?  Mark and Elena.  And should someone win veto or immunity or whatever they call it, she's gone. 

She does not see this.   Paul has been courting her favor.  Last night they hung out in the hammock, Paul lying in her lap.  She feels safe with Paul and knows Mark is in danger.

Oh I get that, but she should see it, as she was so blindsided by Ramses leaving, and by worrying that she could be going on the block.

Wouldn't that be hilarious?  No one tries and they get it by default!  Especially funny, because Paul can't play, and he will have to sit there and watch those morons throw it like Cody had to during the Candy Comp. LOL, that makes he smile.

I've seen rumors elsewhere that HOH is gonna be a plinko style crapshoot. 

If it's true production really stupid for not making it physical, giving Cody a better chance at it. Slippy slide would've been good. 

[diana]

On BBAD Christmas was telling Kevin that she is at 25% of the pain meds that I guess she was taking before. So, she must be weaning off. I don't know how long that type of pain lasts, but I don't see her getting any easier to live with if she's still in pain with less meds. I also caught her talking to Josh about the fight and he seems regretful and realizing it was turning ugly (as he voiced a couple times during). I think he's the only one of the group to think so. I can appreciate that about him. Christmas was still riding the "it needed to happen" train. Something about her way of speaking is so irritating (not to mention just what she says most of the time).

To those of you with a sharper memory for details, what is the HOH comp likely to be?

The only consolation to jess and Cody going out will be watching Paul's group self-destruct. Once they have to start eating their own, it'll be a nice bit of comeuppance for some HGs.

I think as long as the temptation comp is in the game (three more weeks?) we're not gonna see any endurance. Basically not enough room in the Sunday episode for two competitions.

If that's true then I bet a million dollars Jess/Cody won't win. Crapshoots rarely go the way I want them to go. On the plus side at least it means people can't really throw it and someone who really doesn't want it might win, which is always funny.

There will be 2 more weeks of Temptation Competitions. Julie said it'd be for '3 weeks' and this was the 1st week. And yea I definitely agree that there won't be another endurance until those are over. I don't really see them doing a DE in the next 2 weeks either, but they may.

Endurance comps are boring and my least favorite just above crap shoots.  Crap shoots are easy to throw so that could be an advantage for Cody and Jess.

I say Mark probably should because his game is pretty much shot at this point. He's the next target in line for most of the house after Jody.

I don't know, I would think that Mark should only throw the HoH if it is to Jess or Cody. Mark is third on the list to be voted out so he needs to keep them in the house. Mark needs the numbers on the other side to diminish and that only happens if Cody, Jess or he wins the HoH.

If he does win, he puts up Paul and Christmas, the head of the hydra, and hopes that none of the other folks end up on the block after losing the temptation competition.  I think that Matt and Kevin might be less solidly in Paul's camp then it appears. Kevin wants to stay in the game and make as much money as possible. He is not participating full throttle in Paul's ridiculous antics and plans. Kevin walks out of Paul's lectures and has been willing to talk to Jessica. I think Kevin would love the opportunity to vote out Paul.

The only way for Jess, Cody and Mark to get Elena back is to change the numbers so that Elena can work with them without totally screwing over her game. Matt, Raven and Josh are votes for Paul but they are not a strategic threat. Kevin is more of a floater then Paul realizes. So getting Paul or Christmas out is key. But putting Paul up against Raven or Matt or Josh is ridiculous because people would be fine voting for any of them over Paul. I think that the key is that it has to be Paul vs Christmas.

Mark cannot have one of Paul's minions win HoH because the nominations will make it harder for him. If he throws the comp to anyone other then Jess or Cody than Mark is an idiot.

It has to be a quiz style or quick crapshoot comp like roll the ball down the ramp and then shoot it into a numbered container. Since they have two more temptation competitions they can't have any endurance competitions like fill-the-bowl because it would eat into their Sunday show too much. 

A Josh HOH is a terrifying prospect. 

And since they weren't locked in yesterday it likely isn't a complicated set up

I just read on another site that there will not be another BBOT this year - possibly not ever :(

[Lady Calypso]

I think crapshoots are actually the hardest to throw. Since they're typically something along the lines of music quizzes or plinko, the most unexpected people tend to win. Unless you're deliberately throwing the competitions and literally sit there or throw the ball across the backyard, there's still a chance of accidentally winning.

I know my nightmare HOH would be Josh this week, so I'm fully expecting and prepping for Josh winning. It's easier to be pleasantly surprised than to be disappointed.

Paul is trying to secure his position for next week. He spent a lot of time last night asking peeps who could he be up on the block with and go home?? He is running through scenarios . He has to play that Elena is back in his good graveness right now to secure her loyalty for next week.

I feel the exact opposite. People who are trying to throw win crapshoots all the time. The whole thing about a crapshoot is it's like 100% luck based, so unless you're going to just throw your ball over the compound and make it super obvious, which most people are afraid to do, then you might win accidentally.

19 minutes ago, ProfCrash said:

I feel like Christmas will easily go over Paul and no one will care. No one is solidly loyal to her and many people are really over her drug-addled rage issues and general negativity. Hell, even Jason and Kevin, who in some other circumstances might be an easy vote against Paul, would probably jump at the chance to evict her. She'd probably go out in an unanimous vote and no one would give a shit.

Right now Paul is gonna stay no matter who he's against, but it's important for almost everyone that they get out one of his bigger minions. You have to start chipping away at his power so that eventually you can get rid of him. There are people who want to do it but they're afraid because so many people are up his ass and no one wants to take the first shot at him for fear that everyone will go against them. Honestly I think that since you can't get Paul the best bet is Matt. He is a big Paul ass kisser plus he's more liked by others than most of the other minions. He's also more likely than Josh/Christmas/Raven/Elena to start winning comps. Alex would also be a really good bet, because without her Kevin and Jason almost certainly deflect from Paul.

On BBAD Jess asked for her dog tags back, mentioned that Cody just put his dog tags around her neck and he said for the DR session. So the 2 of them were in there doing a session together it sounded like.

So they must have called one and that one got the other? Because the house has no idea they were in there together and they didn't call them together.

The best pairing to put up next week is Paul/Alex or Paul/Raven. That way, at least I don't particularly care on who goes. Raven or Alex going means that their partner(s) have an easier chance of turning on Paul.

True but I think Christmas is one of the main Paul bad idea supporters and losing her will weaken Paul's control. She has a brain that she has been using badly. But she was one of the ones challenging Matt's attempts to slow down or even stop the idiocy yesterday. She is one of the people to encourage the awful behavior. Pull her and you make it easier for Matt and Kevin to act more independently. Matt has a certain amount of influence over Raven, so removing Christmas gives him more ability to direct Raven away from Paul's stupidity.

The bonus is that Paul would be willing to see her go and not realize that the way he targets her will make it easier for Elena, Kevin and Matt to see how Paul will go after them if Paul feels threatened. I think it solidly moves Elena into Cody, Jess and Mark's camp and leaves Kevin and Matt as further detached from Paul's core group. Raven and Josh are simply lost causes who can't think for themselves. Matt and Kevin have both shown glimmers of self awareness that can only be encouraged by removing Christmas or Paul.

So she might be an easy out but the way Paul targets her to get her out will sour some of the hangers ons and weaken him.

I don't disagree that Christmas has shown downright awful behaviour. But her going won't give him any ability to direct Raven away from Paul. Raven's the one also instigating Paul's behaviour. She actively loves it and has argued against Matt's attempts to stop the bullying. If anything, Raven has influence over Matt. He'll do what she says because he probably just wants to get laid. If she goes, Matt can come to his own decisions because he won't be thinking with his other head anymore. Christmas has no control over Matt; not as much as Raven does, at least. 

Also, Paul has been trying to plant seeds to get Christmas out (and successfully), so he wouldn't care if she left, not compared to Raven, who doesn't question him or challenge him like Christmas does. Raven leaving is a much bigger blow to Paul's ego, I think.

For Paul certainly.  It would be fun to watch him tell everyone how terrible she is.  With her gone  Kevin and Jason might show some game sense.  Alex is my choice to go for all of this and I don't like her.  

[ProfCrash]

I don't think anyone can fully pull Raven from Paul but I think that she is less important then Christmas. Raven and Josh are puppets, Christmas is someone who is fully willing to back Paul and help him direct the puppets. Raven is willing to listen to Christmas and Paul. At least removing Christmas removes one of the people with an active brain who is part of the group orchestrating the insanity.

Raven would be a more obvious blow to Paul, I think Christmas is a more subtle blow. Paul will see it as a win while losing one of the people willing to target Cody and Jess and who might be able to intelligently talk to Kevin and Matt. All Paul loses with Raven is a vocal mouth piece. Also, removing Raven ties potentially ties Matt to Paul because Matt might be upset that Jess/Cody/Mark got out his fuck buddy. I doubt that Matt will miss Raven's company or behavior but she is an in bed distraction for him and I am reasonably certain that he will be upset that she is gone for that reason alone.

Christmas is a bigger threat than Raven and I think that Christmas and Paul are more on the same page regarding behavior and the like then we would like to believe. Lose Christmas and Paul loses someone with a brain to bounce ideas off.  And I suspect that Paul is aware that Christmas is more of a threat to his game, that is why he is planting seeds to get her out. He knows he cannot control her and that she will eventually be a threat to him. Removing her will make Paul even more cocky and a bit easier to target as he will further annoy Matt and Kevin.

I have no idea what to make of Alex and Jason at this point in time. A Paul vs Alex nomination would make it harder to keep Paul and could make his attacks more vicious but I am not so certain that Alex is really that much of a loss to Matt and Raven and Josh.

Oh I'm sure Paul gets it, he just thinks he's above the rules.  He's a special snowflake who has been given so many advantages (inside and outside the house), that he has come to expect everything to be handed to him.  When I think of Paul, I think of the saying:  Born on third base and thought he hit a triple.  He's a rebel without a cause.  He's fighting the man, but he is the man.

It should be very easy for all of Paul's people to take a brief glance around and realize that everyone thinks he or she is Paul's main ally (with the exception of Jason and Kevin) and that not everyone can be correct. It's pretty simple math, and fairly logical to come to the conclusion that if he's lying to this many people, he's probably lying to you. And yet they all either truly don't care and will happily take jury or firmly believe that everyone else is being lied to and only they themselves are Paul's "real" alliance. So in my opinion, Paul turning on Christmas would make no difference to anyone else's loyalty because it wouldn't change their fundamental belief that THEY are the real alliance, and Paul would feed them plenty of reasons why Christmas (or Alex, or Matt, or whomever he has to turn on) could never have been a real team player and had to go. It reminds me of when I used to watch the Challnge and people would just sacrifice their own games to be accepted by the cool people. Paul's group seems to care way more about being liked by him than about the game. It'll almost definitely bite Elena first, because I think she had actual aspirations of succeeding in this game--but she's too blinded by her need for acceptance from Paul and the cool kids to see the fairly clear writing on the wall for her.

She's been complaining of nerve pain, which is a whole different thing that painkillers don't really help. Painkillers can help, for a short period of time, especially the good ones that really mess you up, but they don't really address the problem. I think she's already on something for the nerve pain (and hey, I just found out that amitriptyline is like the miracle drug because it's also recommended for nerve pain as well as everything else under the sun) but they've been weaning her off the actual painkillers.
