Meh... Elena bounces, but Matt is a better bounce because Raven is has been nothing more than a gently caress receptacle and she'll be even more invisible than she's been all season thus far if the blue shirt bails.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I'm disappointed Elena went because I think that if she had stayed there might have been a chance for the game to open up this week. She was so isolated in that house after her last terrible week of just sticking a figurative finger up at everyone that I easily could have seen people making a move on the "pawn" sitting next to her. But Mark is the right combination of hated by so many in the house, trusted by absolutely no one after so many lies and flakey gameplay, and a genuine comp threat with a real resume now that I can't imagine them let him get past them if he doesn't win HOH/POV. Which means probably one more week at least until this game might be interesting. And we're running out of time.

Mark could win HOH and make things interesting but I'm not sure I really see the path there. He's alone now and I assume he'll try and make the safest move, which means Josh/Christmas which won't really change much and maybe being dumb enough to put Kevin up and do Paul's dirty work.

And naturally Cody got protected in the edit by skipping to the second half of that fight with Alex/Josh vs Elena and cutting out the entire fight Cody vs Alex fight where he allegedly told her to "gently caress herself" (off feeds) because she wanted some of her own cereal and then told everyone how much he hated them all and didn't give a poo poo about them. I was really interested in seeing that since feeds didn't catch the start and it was bad enough that the normally diplomatic and nonconfrontational Jason was telling Cody he was a piece of poo poo. But I guess that would have made America's Sweethearts look bad.

Its gonna be kinda lame if Cody wins America's Favorite.

Yep, that was funny watching everyone too intimidated to put him up. Paul is utterly dominating this game. I figured at some point someone would take a shot at him, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

I assume Paul will drag stupid Josh to the end with him, and then get all the votes.

Yeah, I just FFed through that episode. I understand that it was probably a placeholder for a Jury Battle Back in case the Hex didn't get played or something, but I'm not sitting and watching a recap episode of the season that would never end. Especially if you start it with a Jody love segment right after they're finally out of the loving house.

When oh when will Jody be gone?! I'm not completely convinced they'll be back next season.

Max posted:

Its weird but this whole cast has basically accepted that everyone is in a duo which is how Paul has managed to convince everyone that he's the third member of their trio because he's the only true single left standing.

Well, Kevin too but he hosed it up by trying to be Jody's 3rd.

I think CBS' lawyers will be glad to see the back of them once the season is over. Cody is far too volatile to be worth keeping around. If you send Jody on The Amazing Race there is a fair chance that Cody will attack the cab driver that took them to the wrong place and got them eliminated. Jessica might have a future on an allstar season.

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
With Jody eliminated, I am realizing what I feared -- there's no one in the house that I am actually cheering for to win. Kevin is funny, but he doesn't have the same underdog appeal that Donny did. I think, just by process of elimination, I am reluctantly cheering for Christmas. From watching only the episodes, it seems like Paul is the obvious winner of this season, unless someone clues in to what he's doing.

Also, I am not sure what Matt's strategy is at this point. He is willing to be a pawn because he thinks other people will be pawns later? Matt may be one of the most boring HGs in recent memory. At least Raven has a cool scar.

Yeah I laughed at Matt's DR. No Matt, everyone doesn't have to take a turn being pawns, they'll just keep putting you up because you've been so cool about it so far. And then once you push back they'll say it's time to start thinking about getting you out.

I'm cheering for Paul to win, as he seems to be smarter and playing the game harder than everyone else put together.

I think Paul is headed for a swift and sudden exit.

As people start thinking about final four, and winning over the jury, they are going to take a shot at Paul after the veto is used and someone else was supposed to be the target.

I truly believe that of all people Cody will be the one in Jury that will be the voice of reason and drill it into everyone's head that once yer in the Loser's Lounge you are under no obligation to follow Paul's lead like a buncha "betas". Especially true if Paul is also in Jury. There could even be a mutiny if Paul can't shut down gamebot mode while in Jury.

Matt going up to protect Raven is about the most personality the guy has showed all season.

The funny thing is, I think if Paul made it to the end, Cody might actually vote for the guy. Yeah they don't like each other, but in Cody's mind, Paul was his only rival and was at least up front in how he played his HOH weeks with them.

I'm not so sure Paul would be bitter, I think he's at least as likely to go the other way and make a scene about how whoever got him out made the winning move and they absolutely deserve it and Paul Paul Paul. He was really messed up by how he lost in F2 last year to someone who he thought wasn't a player (I mean, she was, but I understand why he thought she wasn't) and I think he's too self-aware to do that to someone else.

The game will get harder for Paul as the house empties out (at a certain point it's almost pure competitions, you can always gently caress up a competition) but I do think there's a magic combination of people in there who would never talk to each other without him.

Based on what he said in that DR on Sunday's show, it feels like the only way forward is for him to get rid of someone in a couple and take their place, otherwise once Mark and Kevin go, he's the odd one out.

I think he's in a good enough position to throw HOH this week and just encourage the duos to start a war. Its tricky but it lets him keep playing the middle for another week or two and any combination of Alex/Jason, Josh/Christmas, or Matt/Raven still pose a bigger threat this than he does alone.

Paul's problem could come a few evictions from now if the duos break up and he's the most threatening single standing.

Even if Cody does that the problem is him doing it exactly as you said with the condescending "beta" nonsense. Cody couldn't influence anyone in the house because he's an arrogant, disrespectful rear end who advertises that he thinks he's better than everyone else. Paul may think he's better but he does a solid job hiding it. Cody's approach didn't work in the house and doesn't seem any more likely to work in the Jury House.

I think he could also get burned if he's forced to choose between pairs with his vote, and it shows that he is playing everyone.

When they pick names for veto, what if they draw the name of someone that's already been chosen via Houseguest Choice? Do they just redraw and then cut that out of the broadcast?

I know it's a dumb question but it never crossed my mind until just now.

STAC Goat

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I guess it depends on if they're doing the "two 'Houseguest's Choice' chips" rules or the "if you draw your own name its Houseguest's Choice." If its the first one then I guess they just draw a new chip and leave it on the cutting room floor. If its the latter then I guess technically it would be a second HG Choice in a row.

So if Christmas drew her own name and picked Josh and then she picked Josh's name then he should be able to pick someone.

But if Christmas draws "Houseguest's Choice" and picks Josh and then picks "Josh" she should have to pick a new chip.

Do they alternate between the "HG choice" chips and putting the people drawing's names in the bucket?

My understanding is that when they have 2 nominees they just have each nominee and the HOH pick a chip and there's 2 Houseguest Choice chips in the bag. But when there's three nominees they can't do that because only 2 people would get a chance to draw chips. So they remove the HG Choice chips and the HOH just draws 2 names. If one of the names drawn is a nominee then its a default "Houseguest's Choice."

I understand voting for Mark, but why not take the first strike at one of the couples? Someone is going to have to do it. Why not do it the week you're in power?

Also, kind of funny Matt and Raven are considered a power couple when I don't think they've done anything.

Well, Mark's been gunning for Christmas since Week 1 and they fought just last week with him saying he'd send her home again. So ultimately even though Christmas obviously has been thinking of busting up one of the duos it makes sense for her to see Mark as a more immediate threat. He might not be able to win the game but if he wins a HOH he can take her or Josh out. She and Josh (and Paul) seem like they're in a solid position after this week with Matt/Raven and Jason/Alex gunning for each other and Kevin as a wildcard target.

Mark's made a real mess of his game. In another season he could probably convince Alex, Jason, Paul, and Kevin that he's only a threat to Christmas and Josh and they should keep him and take out Matt. But Mark's flopped back and forth so many times and spent last weak threatening to take out Alex, Jason, and Paul so no one really can feel comfortable making a deal with him at this stage. That seems like the conclusion Josh and Christmas came to with the deal he offered them before POV. It may sound good but Mark's pattern has been to just offer the same deal to whoever is in power next week.

Then you have the individual game goals where everyone kind of wants to take Christmas and Josh to the end as easier people to beat so you don't really want to piss them off by keeping Mark against their wishes.

Re: Matt/Raven, they may suck but 2 votes is really powerful this deep in the game. And the lower the number of people get the more likely one of them finally win something just because the numbers are thin.
