Nashville August 2, 2017 Share August 2, 2017 (edited) 35 minutes ago, Callaphera said: Yeah... it sounds like Kevin was doing the bookkeeping for his dad. So I think he was in it deeper than the surface story sounds. Only way the authorities could seize Kevin's house would be if evidence existed showing the money used to purchase or pay for the house were proceeds from illegal activities such as drug sales. So either (a) Kevin's father gave them a drug-money-derived loan at some point to either buy the house or help out with the payments, or (b) Kevin worked for his father, making his entire paycheck from his father (and whatever on which the money was spent) suspect.

mooses August 2, 2017 Share August 2, 2017 (edited) From the few short news articles about the father that I've seen, it seems like the family probably knew about the business. The father had a full-on mafia nickname, "The Cheese," and I believe they only didn't bring up charges against Kevin's mother because of lack of evidence she was involved. From what I remember/could piece together, he was dealing in the neighborhood, and left his house in the care of someone while he was away who knew of his illegal activities. He had a stash in the house and a plan to get rid of it if the authorities ever came, but he wasn't there - so they found that along with a notebook of his clients. Apparently someone who was angry at him for enabling his addiction, taking tens of thousands of dollars from him, and a vacation (?!) turned him in. I think the family petitioned to get him out of prison eventually, arguing that 10 years for a 70-something year old man in poor health was a life sentence. I read this all before the season started, so it's a little foggy.

mooses August 2, 2017 Share August 2, 2017 3 hours ago, ProfCrash said: 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. 2 hours ago, peachmangosteen said: 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. I don't think Mark is ready to put up Paul yet. He still doesn't see he's the root of all his problems. Christmas is his Big Evil at the moment, and he's talking a lot lately about Alex stirring the pot and the one who's questioning his relationship with Jody the most. Christmas is in big trouble if it's a Mark HOH. He's dying to get her out. I can't really think of someone she'd stay against besides one of Jess/Cody/Mark/Elena. And, it'd be an easy to send her home and look like a "good guy" by saying she can go home and heal. I can't think of anyone Paul might go home against. Maybe Raven, since she's annoying everyone but is obviously less of a competitor than Paul, and Alex would be interesting because you'd have Jason/Kevin campaigning for her to stay (although she'd definitely go home) - assuming there's campaigning and game talk going on without Paul, so that's probably wishful thinking. If Elena/Mark/Jessica/Cody win HOH, IMO they really should go for Raven/Matt/Alex over Christmas, who can't really compete doesn't have strong place in the House or any real, true allies. Mark is going hard for HOH, and he should - he's in serious danger this week. Paul seems to be protecting Elena since she hopped back to him (although Christmas told Kevin she doesn't believe Elena's really back with them), but he's grooming her for a Mark eviction. And I could definitely see Paul switching the target to Mark over Jessica/Cody since Jessica/Cody are big targets in from of him and basically blacklisted as allies. 1 Link to comment

peachmangosteen August 2, 2017 Share August 2, 2017 (edited) 3 hours ago, ProfCrash said: 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. Alex isn't a loss to those people, but those people will never get off Paul's dick anyway. Kevin and Jason are the only Paulettes that I believe might try to directly challenge Paul, but they are closely aligned with Alex and for some reason they let her make the decisions for them as a group so with her gone I think they might actually do something about Paul. 2 hours ago, RedheadZombie said: When I think of Paul, I think of the saying: Born on third base and thought he hit a triple. 2 hours ago, Callaphera said: I've never heard that phrase before and I'm in love with it.
