Now that Alex is on the block again, I wonder if she realizes how dumb it was to nominate Kevin and Raven. As the weeks went by, she revealed how shitty of a player she really was.

Dummy. I wonder if he figured out that Paul could win the veto, pull one of the nominees down and Josh will be forced to nom xmas and then Paul and the other person vote her out. on top of that, josh cannot play for the next hoh. He should have put Paul on the block. Then if paul won, he could only remove himself. If one of the others won, xmas could guarantee that Josh's pick went home.

You forgot to add weak. He's stupid and weak. If it was me, I would rather go to jury for playing hard to win, than to literally be a puppet in the house.

These people went way beyond following the celebrity. They literally let him make all their decisions. I don't think there has been a season with less game talk and scheming. Basically, Paul gave everyone their instructions, they said ok and that was it until the vote. No way production could have foreseen that over half the house would be that sorry and that dumb.

As I indicated before, I am pretty sure production orchestrated some things, but, I really doubt that production told these people to lay down and quit playing. For production value and ratings, the producers need and want drama. During this season, there were literally weeks without any drama at all, other than people going after the other players that were being targeted, and, the targeting wasn't to change votes or anything. It was just bullying. If production was directing everything, I think they would have setup a rivalry side of the house. It sure would have been more tv worthy if there would have been 2 or 3 people to turn on Paul and try and take out a couple of Paul minions. But, you had none of that. You just had a house full of sheep for like the last 5 weeks. It's been a snoozefest.

If you are part of an alliance larger than two, you are pretty much going to have to backstab some folks to make it to the end. If you do want to make it to the end, you won't get there if you keep all the strongest players in the game, otherwise, you are asking to be backstabbed. I am not sure who you feel he's backstabbed, but, he's been with xmas since the early part of the game and he's stuck with her and deferred to her even when it wasn't the best for his game.

People can wish and wish, but, if you think someone will beat Paul in the f2, you will be sorely disappointed. Hate may change one or two votes, but it will not change enough to win. To have "hater" votes come into play, the player sitting next to Paul has to have a resume. It is possible for Josh to go on a run and make it to f2, but, he would not take Paul and Paul would not take him. So, that scenario is dead. No one else has a resume to brag on. Xmas has two wins, both given to her courtesy of Paul. I know Alex won something, but, how long ago was that. What was rememberable about anything she did other lead Jason around. No need to waste brain power on Kevin. Paul will be able to tell the jury that he not only orchestrated every eviction, he directed the whole game. The jurors may be mad, but, their choice would be between a guy with a 3-page resume and people with one or two sentences. And, one of those sentences would say I did whatever Paul told me.

It is hard for me to call it a blindside because all the signs were there that he was going home. From the time of nominations, he should have known something was up. Even Kevin told him that either he or Alex were going home. Plus, he was becoming a comp beast. Why did he think Josh broke down in the pool? The signs were there. So, I can't call it a blindside since he chose to keep his eyes closed.

I can blame CBS for rigging the 3 week safety vote and a few other things, but, I can no longer blame CBS for the actions of this cast. There is no way CBS could have known the level of stupid that these people would rise to. I am sure they probably could point to this person being dumb and that person being stupid. But, they could not know what would happen when you put them all together. There is no way CBS could have known that over half the people would just fall in line, quit playing the game and do Paul's bidding. You had people literally ask Paul if he thought it would be a good idea if they took a nap. So, I just cannot continue blaming CBS and letting these idiots off the hook.

I like that Josh told Jason the plan and then the next message was Paul lying about he didn't know what was going on.

In my opinion, it is now or never. I think Josh will put Paul up. But, if Paul slips thru this week, Josh will be gone next week unless he wins veto. I think Josh really has to draw a line in the sand with xmas this week. She will feel very vulnerable knowing that Josh can not play in the next HOH and protect her and if Paul is gone, she's really on her own. He has to make her see that voting Paul is in her best interest in the end. I think Kevin will follow the power, but, if it is Paul vs Alex, I would not trust Kevin to vote out Paul. Even with Paul on the block, it is still a dicey vote and Josh better not count his chickens too early.

I can't believe the ratings were up for this snoozefest of a season.

It would have been possible with Josh and Kevin voting, but, the only way that could work was if Josh had enough time to explain it to Alex and talk with Kevin. I just don't think there was enough time.

It seemed to be a completely staged fight to me. I don't know why Josh played along. From what I could hear, Josh kept apologizing for voting Jason out, but, I don't think he ever accused Paul of doing anything.

They should have a college course on how a person can be completely delusional and live in an alternate universe. I can't see how in the hell she could believe she was playing a good game, However, she did think throwing comps for Paul was good game play. And, I have to admit that Matt thought the same way.

There was not enough time for Josh to convince Alex that Paul was the mastermind. All Paul would have had to do was deny that he didn't it and Alex would have been left with deciding if Josh was telling the truth and remembering that it was xmas and josh that lead her and Jason to believe that Jason was safe. And, what happened to Jason and who voted him out? Bingo! If Josh would pulled anyone off the block, xmas would have been put up.

What? Ain't that normal? Don't you do that when you meet a star?

If you make the list, i'll vote for you...

I am always amused when someone comments on a player from season #whatever, and, I'm thinking, I can't even remember that person even being on BB (I have watched every season) and you remember what season they were on? If you gave me one of those match games where the players are on one side and the seasons are on the other, and, I had to draw lines to match the player with the season, I doubt if I could get 10%.

Cody had the right reasoning. He knew Paul would suck up all the air in the room and that the other hg would be enamored with him. He said the reason he didn't tell the others is that he didn't want them to try to talk him out of it. He clearly didn't understand how important it was to keep his team informed and let them feel like they were part of the decision making process.

Even with all that went wrong for Cody the first week, I think the fatal flaw was the fact that he did not tell his alliance what the plan was in advance. I think if had told everyone, when things went bad, the alliance would have held together. But not telling them made him look shady and like someone who could not be trusted. He had the right plan, but, his poor execution doomed the alliance.

First off, don't take this the wrong way, but, I think you may be obsessing way too much on these rules when it comes to a part of the game that really doesn't give the player an advantage over the other players. Although the have and have nots are subjective to uncomfortable sleeping arrangements and the players are on slop, I don't think it is really that big of a part of the game. Just not something to get all bent out of shape over as the posters here has indicated. I was a union president and I have read lots and lots of case law. When it comes to pay, judges loathe employment contracts that are one sided and not fair to the employee. If an employee is promised $1000 per week, the company will end up paying him that $1000 dollars. The company can recoup the cost of equipment or product that the employee willfully damages, but, they will not get away with simply docking someones pay. The company can refuse to pay "bonuses" or other pay that is not yet earned. For example, if the bonus is to be paid for completing the show, the company will not have to pay if the employee doesn't complete the show. However, even those type stipulations may be overcome by the employee if they complete a substantial portion of the contract. Although I am just guessing, I am willing to bet that Chima, Willie Hantz and others who were expelled from the game got their full pay and an airline ticket home. Putting something into a contract doesn't automatically mean it will stand up to legal scrutiny.

It would be completely unfair to replace a jury vote of a hg with that of the public. First and foremost, you would be replacing an individual that only had a limited view of what was going on around him with the public who had full access to everything that was happening in the house. The view of the game and who was the most worthy to win would probably be completely different. If there's going to be a vote by the public, the players need to know at the start of the game and it has to be a definite part of the rules. As far as evicting people because they break the rules, I have no problem with that as long as it is clearly part of the rules at the start of the game. In the case of Matt and previous hg, the rule was one eviction vote. Matt simply took advantage of the rule. You can't change it midstream.

Yes, even though Josh may have Paul figured out, he would be stupid to keep Jason at this point.

The first couple of weeks, she looked like a gamer. but every since she crawled up Paul's butt, her level of dumbass has increased exponentially.
