If I had to guess they ask him to announce people dropping out and what not. Noticed he said one for Ramses like 10 minutes later cause he forgot to when he fell.

My guess is that whenever we get fish/puppies that's someone over the PA telling Paul what to say. But he could have an ear piece or could be getting directions every time he goes back to that door.

OTT viewers would probably have a better idea.

I don't want to be mean but Jessica's been falling apart physically really quickly. The other girls keep commenting that she just keeps caking on makeup and making it worse. Presumably some kind of defense mechanism for feeling low, but its hard not to notice. Like she's breaking out, her hair is falling out, she's got cold sores on her lips.


And she's down! Dom follows!

Some half-cocked strategy? She's going up if Elena wins, although Ramses would probably be the target.

People always assume the stoic person is rock solid because they're quiet and a lot of the time they're just quiet because they're fighting for their lives. I remember everyone being convinced Jackie was going to beast the Wall and then falling midway through.

It sounded like Alex promised to just stay on the house's plan (Ramses/Jessica), but it wasn't clear. And Alex could lie (although she's prided herself on not lying so far).

Or I guess Elena could do something crazy and try and make a move through Alex. We'll see.

I doubt Dom, especially after last night. Maybe Christmas.

The main thing is Elena gave in as SOON as Jason feel so its clear she felt safer with Alex than Jason. All week Alex was doing a good job ingratiating herself with the cool kids and it will be interesting to see if she's willing to undo that and make herself a target again. She was saying Ramses/Jessica to Paul last night.

Alex is cool kid adjacent, though. She worked hard to get into their circle last week and off their target list and was successful. It would be questionable to undo that all this week and make enemies of them.

Plus she's going to have everyone saying Jason threw a hinky vote, Ramses saying Kevin threw 2 hinky votes, Kevin saying Ramses threw a vote... so that's a super sketchy side to take when you're declaring war.

On the other hand...

Alex: I'm about to make a huuuuuuuuge move.

Christmas or breaking up one of the other couples. My guess would be breaking up one of the other couples. Christmas isn't really a threat at this point.

Cool kids wondering if Christmas voted out Ramses. Elena says that Alex told her Christmas told her she'd vote out Ramses to "stir the pot." Cool kids wavering wildly between "why would she tell Alex that?" and "loving Christmas!"

Kevin denying to Ramses that he voted him out.

Kevin and Jason discussing that Alex made a deal with Elena and Kevin thinks it will be Jess and Ramses up. Alex joins and asks them who they voted for. Both say they voted out Cody. Alex says she's putting up Jessica and someone else. Mark joins and Alex says it wasn't Jason. Mark doesn't care and asks if he's safe. Alex hilariously says, "I'll have to ask Elena." and leaves.

Jason: She's going after Jessica.
Mark: Then why the gently caress did she tell me that?

Alex tells Matt that she trusts him, Jason, and Raven. Says Mark and Dom are questionable. Alex saying Christmas told her she'd "stir the pot" but then said she was "kidding." Alex says its something to consider. Alex's definitely looking to put up the cripple with her weird "lion kills the weak" strategy. She says she's worried that Christmas is coming after Jason. Raven's in and Alex says they "might have to flip the plan" and keep Jessica.

Alex is using her HOH on the cripple.

As much as I dread the idea of Cody coming back in and just reuniting with Jessica again, I don't really mind Christmas going this week.

Of course, the perfect scenario is Christmas getting evicted and somehow defeating Cody in the battle back.

If Xmas gets evicted next there is a 90% chance Cody is back, right?

When was the last time that Battle Back was something someone who could barely stand would be able to play, let alone win? I feel like there was some kind of shuffle board/skill shot one at some point. Also did I hear right that Julie said that for the first time the potential returnee could potentially be prevented from reentering the game by someone in the house?

I don't mind Christmas going because I'm a big believer in if you gently caress up you deserve to go home and Christmas hosed up with this vote so if it costs her that's just karma and consequences for your gently caress ups.

I like her a lot, probably more than anyone, but her game's falling apart and she's becoming Tiffany. So I'm fine seeing her go now before poo poo gets ugly and hoping she gets a second chance down the line.

But its a dumb move unless Alex really wants Cody and Jessica reunited. And if Jessica/Christmas are on the block on Thursday I'm not convinced they'll choose to risk that to get out the one legged girl. Like, even if poo poo blows up with Christmas she's still less of a threat than Cody/Jessica. Or even Jessica on her own if Christmas ends up alone.

But again, I rather Christmas not become Tiffany.

Jess said it was Raven who hid Alex's cat ears and also her pouring out all of the Coke so Alex didn't have any. I only recently got into the show, not from the start. Was it actually Jess and she's making that up? She seems pretty believable right now just because her body language is so defeated

I'm 90% sure Jess confessed to Cody about hiding the ears. Raven was pouring out soda. No idea about the glasses. But Jess stole the ears and Josh's pillow so she's the prime suspect for the glasses. She's a liar and narcissist, in case you didn't know that. She's just insisting she's the victim of all the other mean girls.
