Well, you know there is that saying about thinking with one head vs. the other.

Alex probably want that. She is really mad about the whole thing. Paul will keep her in check. Getting Elena out doesn't fit in his plan. He wants Cody out and then Mark. He knows he can still use Elena if he needs to and it's always good to have someone weak at your mercy. Alex hating her is just a bonus for him. Alex thinks that she is Paul's true ride or die. Don't know why she thinks she could win if in F2 with him.

I agree. I can't imagine how crushing it would be to go thru the whole procedure to get in the house, waiting anxiously in seclusion for the day to finally come and then to be thrown away for nothing. And then to have to sit again for weeks for that small opportunity to get back in. Seems very cruel.

Sorry to see you go, Marty. Let's hope for better than this next season.

I think Kevin has somehow fallen out if favor with King Paul and his nasty little minion Alex. They started talking about him yesterday and he may be number three on the list to be evicted.

I agree. None of them have shown any sign of being able to pull a good voting block together that is outside of Paul's control. Maven think they are the ones tight with Paul. Jason and Alex think the same. Kevin thinks it's him and Paul for F2. Josh thinks everyone loves him and has no plan. By this time, I would think Mark and Elena know exactly where they are in the house, at the bottom right above Cody. If some of them don't wake up soon, they will go meekly to the gallows at Paul's direction and sit in jury wondering how they ended up evicted.

LOL! Love that analogy.

I'm hoping the double eviction is a huge shake up in the house. If Cody manages to stay safe for the first eviction, the blood of the sheep will start to flow.

I remember Amanda and McCrae spent most of their time in bed but Amanda made sure she got up and stomped around the house often enough to keep her hand in everything that was going on. I don't think McCrae did much to keep them solid in their alliances, it was pretty much all Amanda's work. Jessica was never able to really pull anyone close again after Cody threw Paul and then Xmas on the block. She didn't have the personality to charm or lead. And then Paul was playing the betrayed victim for the rest of the sheep who just happily turned their games over into his hands.

Her makeup makes her look like a caricature drawing. I wonder what a caricature drawing of her caricature face would look like.

Elena and Mark will be really unhappy if they are the "pawns" again and hopefully will finally realize their true status in the house. Cody has two chances this week to stay, temptation and veto. If he ends up safe, who will be the sacrifice?

She will do what Paul wants. She talks big but Paul will be HoH. He slept up there with Josh and pretty much took over the room. One time he even told Josh to go get him and Elena water. But will Alex want him in her bed? I don't think Jason would share a bed with her, not unless he wants to come home to a very unhappy wife.

Live show and DRs: Just put on a damn shirt!

True.

Yes, he's doing pretty well on the game. Alex and Jason think he is all in with them. Xmas thinks he has her back. Paul has a F2 with him. Even Jess has believed she had Kevin's vote even if the other's were against her. No one talks bad about him. Early in the game his name was occasionally mentioned about the 25K but not any more. He's sitting pretty,for now.

There should be a thread titled Things Raven Ate Today. It would be a long list.

Maybe it's harder to see some things from the inside but surely they can see the pattern that Paul sets up. Cody and Jess were the enemy from the moment Cody put Paul on the block but then Dominique went against him and was outcast swiftly. They all turned their backs on her and she was gone. Then Paul started on Mark, telling his sheep tales of Marks disloyalty and shady behavior. And the sheep turned on Mark. If it wasn't for the Jody problem, Mark would be the one struggling to stay off the block. Then Elena. She is feeling the chill from her sheep friends and is scared. They haven't completely pushed her out yet but she is not pulled into many game talks anymore. And now he is setting the ground work against Matt and Raven. He still has time to work them over. He has a few targets ready to go and then there is always Josh to sacrifice if needed. No one should feel safe with Paul because one day, those beady eyes are going to be staring at them with contempt and they will find themselves sitting alone .

Nah, not yet. Jess made Josh cry so she is gone now. And Paul has just started on Raven and Matt. He's still has to get Cody and then Mark, both are able to win comps. After that, Elena, Raven and Matt can go in any order. Of course, any one of them could end up saying/doing something that turns Paul against them. Like thinking or winning a comp when he told them not to or talking to the latest victim targeted as the outsider.

From reading the update page, I see Paul has started his campaign against Raven and Matt. He now has Jody as his main evil villains, Mark and Elena running close behind and Matt and Raven the new losers because they aren't playing the game, they just agree with what everyone else says and are just "followers" and Paul just hates followers. Of course, those sitting there, Alex, Xmas and Jason, all agree and some more barbs are thrown at Raven. Yep, no followers sitting in on this convo.

I don't like Xmas much either but if she leads the sheep against Paul, I'd cheer her on, for awhile.

If the house does what Paul wants, hopefully Josh will realize that Paul is only playing for himself and all his talk "helping" Josh is a load of crap. Xmas has been trying to warn him, probably more for her gain but still, she is letting him know that Paul is trying to control his HoH.

And THAT was awfully convenient, wasn't it? The one person who allegedly can't eat anything without throwing up is free to shovel junk food into her mouth for the whole season.

He stays on the block if he uses it on someone else or not at all. If he used it on Jess or Elena, Paul would get the others to vote him out. They are telling him he has to stay on the block to prove he isn't with Cody. Just more blackmail and pretending he will be back in the herd if he does as he is told. Paul doesn't care what Josh whats. He will have his herd vote out Jess and tell Josh, sorry buddy, it's what the house wanted, just like he always does.

Kevin might be making this suggestion on his own. Paul would probably know that Cody could never trust him and he would never trust Cody. I don't think he can pull off being fake nice with Paul. Every time Paul talks to him I imagine hearing his teeth grinding together as he tries not to go off in him. Paul still wants him out because he can win comps and Paul would be doing his best to keep Cody on edge while pretending that they are good.

I posted something similar previously about Mark. He keeps thinking that he can get back in but that will not happen. He needs to use the veto on himself no matter what BS they say to try to keep him on the block.
