Yes, this will be the best move for Nicole and Cliff. And there isn't a thing Michie can do about it, PLUS he can't compete for HOH this next time (or am I mistaken about that??). Assuming Michie can't compete for this next HOH (and Holly is GONE), then there's a great chance they can vote Michie out next.

I think my favorite moment (well, one of my favorite moments) of the night was when they showed the messages Josh left for the jury members as they got evicted. He just could not believe that Josh out-smarted him in using those goodbye messages to work the jury against Paul. Paul called it "cowardly," but what he meant was that it was brilliant strategy on Josh's part. He didn't think Josh was that smart.

Good. He thought he played the "perfect" game. His arrogance, though, was one of his stumbling blocks.

Never cared for Elena, but I have to say she made probably the best, most compelling arguments during the discussion with Will Kirby. I think she could have (and should have) played a much better game than she did.

Alex got most played by Paul, and she thought she was the smartest but was actually the dumbest. (she was a true disappointment as a player). But she redeemed herself just a tiny little bit tonight when she said she was giving her vote to the person who stabbed her in the front and not the one who stabbed her in the back, and I jumped up and screamed "YES! Tell it like it is, girl!" Big kudos to her for her snarky comment. Paul definitely had it coming.

Good one, Helene!

I think there may actually be something wrong with him, he's so proud of being such a loser. Being on a reality tv show is probably not the best place you can most prosper by doing absolutely nothing. He and Xmas could give each other a run for the money, they're about an equal match.

I think my heart skipped a beat when Kevin walked across the stage when Julie was introducing the jury one by one. He walked that stage like it was a catwalk, and I thought YES! Some part of him is still Mr. Massachusetts. He is a very nice looking man. And a real sweetheart of a guy. I think his family should be very proud of him.

Thank you for reminding me! I had forgotten about that. Somebody needed to say that to him.

Too funny!

Well, she has to know how rich Paul already is, so I'm sure that is part of the attraction as well. She'll end up dropping Matt fast.

This loser actually thought he had some authority on which to speak during the session with Will Kirby. The whole time I couldn't get past the fact that he contributed absolutely NOTHING to this game. What a waste of space. Pathetic.

This was about the only right thing that happened the whole season. The look on Paul's face was almost worth suffering through this train wreck. The added injury for Paul, of course, was seeing Cody win AFP.

Count me in on that as well. As much as I hate Xmas (I hate her more than the others mainly b/c of how mean she is and I can't get past the fact that she should never have been allowed to stay when she could no longer compete), I still want to see Paul lose more than her or Josh. 3rd place would be even better, but I'll gladly take 2nd for him.

You're actually a producer on the show, aren't you?

Yes, Paul loses yet another season of BB. And then the producers bring him back for a THIRD year to go for it again!!!! Paul will be the never-ending houseguest, who just keeps returning until he finally wins.

That would be a great finish to Paul's despicable "game" -- which is another reason I can't believe Paul allowed Josh to compete in the final 3. If Josh does win HOH, how can Paul be sure that Josh won't cut him loose and blow his chance to be in the final two? Just doesn't make any sense to me, unless he thinks he has Josh that brainwashed that Josh would never consider NOT taking him if he were to win the final HOH.

If true, hopefully it will be Paul's fatal mistake and the jury gives the win to Josh. Paul loses again.

Shocked that they allowed Josh into the final 3. He would actually have a decent chance of winning the final HOH, unless Paul has already convinced him to throw it.

I was glad to see Alex show some amount of shame / remorse for destroying Jason's game in addition to her own. She was just too arrogant and prideful to look at the game from any other perspective despite Jason trying to talk to her about the possibility of being taken for a ride.

Yes, it would have been a fantastic and history-making moment for BB had Josh blindsided everyone and evicted Kevin instead of Alex, and then he and Alex team up against Paul. Sadly, his doing what he was programmed to do -- work against his own self-interest -- puts Josh in league with Marcellus who chose not to use the veto to save himself and then got himself evicted (was that season 3?).

But if the final two were Paul and Josh, you'd have to pick the lesser of two tools / bullies. And wouldn't that be Josh? Not that we will ever know since Josh is the next to be evicted (if Paul has his way, and Paul so far has always gotten his way so why would it stop now?).

Not surprised at all by this. I knew there was something shady about the bond they have. I think they had it planned from the get-go. Paul sure didn't develop "friendship" with Xmas just by being in the BB house -- I think they've known one another for a while.

Well, he at least ruled production. A win is a win, but a fixed win only makes you look as if you couldn't have done it any other way.

ITA. He's a nice looking former Mr. Massachusetts man, perhaps a little more British looking than American, which might be why he is seen as odd by some. I think for 55 - 56, Kevin has held up pretty well, given that he has a lot of kids. Having that many kids in and of itself can cause people to appear more "aged" or "seasoned." I don't have kids but if I had even one I'd look stressed and ragged in a very short amount of time.
