Big Brother 19

[Erick Estrada]

I have to give Paul props. I don't care how dumb you think the cast is, to get them to disqualify themselves and hand the HOH to Christmas was one of the most brilliant schemes ever pulled off. That said I was disappointed by the shows meddling on the competition as they clearly played into the fix by not having a single race forcing Christmas to run for it.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Good point. If they start a sprint before the BS stuff was done they really could have created some chaos.

But production would never screw over their golden boy. They've already designed a whole season for him. Not gonna stop now.

I don’t like the kind edit Alex is getting. She’s a POS.

Well the girl is a real life Ghostbuster after all so her version of reality probably differs from most people.

The worst part of this season is Paul is playing almost perfect and making what should be historic types moves, but it is impossible to cheer for him or give him any props as this is the dumbest ground of people in history.

At least he constantly acknowledges how dumb they all are.

I wonder if this season will force some rule changes as these last 4 weeks have been unwatchable and it is only getting worst. You should never have a show where the best strategy is to do poorly/throw challenges.

It seems that was what the show wanted though as I'm pretty sure in that competition years past they would have ram at least one or two races in the time frame it took everyone to throw it. If they didn't want people throwing it to Christmas they could have run a race or two at the very least but instead they kept going on and on with baiting false starts seemingly never going to actually start a race. I beg to differ that the season has been unwatchable as there's been plenty of drama and while there's not a lot of sharp pencils in the house it's been far less predictable than some other seasons. Outside of Jason (he's clearly played too hard the last few weeks) I can see anyone left getting to the final three for a variety of reasons.

The way things are going I wonder if the producers regret taking away the jury battle back this year. It likely would have been Cody coming back which would have meant some actual competition for Paul. Without that Paul is basically coasting to the $500k.

The only thing that could make it interesting is if the other houseguests when talking figure out that Paul has a 3 way alliance with all of them, which means he's playing them all at once as they do his work by continually taking shots at each other. But they likely wouldn't ever be able to figure that out.

I really don't think it would have mattered. The group that's left might be cannibalizing itself now but they have had no problems working together for a common foe. Kevin at least finally acknowledged seeing what the rest of us have seen all season. The one side of the house finds a target, starts antagonizing them, especially through the use of Josh, to make them the most hated. Then it's an easy vote.

Cody back in would have had to win every comp to stay in again. For some reason all the others have full trust in Paul who just makes them dance. Blinded by friendship. They may all be blind/stupid but Paul is playing right into that perfectly, only one that deserves the money imo.

This season was cast for the "Season of Paul". AG thought he got jobbed last season and brought him back with a bunch of idiots so he would win.

Even them finding out about his alliances wouldn't mean much. I'm pretty sure most of them actually know. They know Paul is getting along with the entire house and at least has trust of everyone else, they are just all naive enough to believe that they are the ones he isn't playing.

You could see it with Alex's DR last week. Her laughing at Kevin for actually believing Paul and throwing the competition, while she threw the competition because she trusted Paul. Everyone pretty much knew that the competition was rigged because Paul wanted it that way, he's just convinced everyone that he's playing everyone else.

New big brother opening!

Lol. Josh figures out Paul and Xmas very rudely chastises him for mentioning it and tells him to shut up. Then in DR she defends Paul!

Paul needs to become a politician, found a religion or start a cult, maybe all three, because I've never seen a group become so brainwashed against their own good. It's bewildering how dumb Alex and Xmas are. Extra frustrating because they are both catty jerks.

To be fair Christmas needs Paul as much as she needs Josh as she may need help down the stretch as she may not be able to effectively compete in some of the competitions. Having Paul and Josh as her allies beats having just Josh at this point as Alex will probably be gunning for her.

If there ever was a chance to make a big move it's the double eviction and that's possibly the time to get Paul out. Kevin for the most part has figured out how things are running in the house (he firgured that Jason is going home) and its a shame he's so terrible in competitions as it would be intriguing to see what he would do on the block.

[Calgary14]

Still not sure why Paul insisted on winning the POV. Probably would have been better for his game to throw it. Now Josh is on to him and he has a big mouth so will tell the rest of the house. Paul wants to align with Alex but would she even want to given how he manipulates the entire house and could easily turn on her?

Alex has no idea what Paul is up to, she thinks she has been in a secret ride or die with him since like week 1. He isn't after her alliegence, he has that already since she trusts him fully, but now he adds "white knight" to it. Josh is bang on that he is busy securing Jury votes, he knows that's what did him in last year. Josh tries to call Paul out and he just denies it and everyone will trust Paul over Josh.

He's convinced every pair he is with them and just placating the rest. They bloody themselves up and he just looks like he is trying to do his best to help his "allies", thus securing their vote.

It makes the most sense to go final 3 with Josh and Xmas. She is hurt and easy to beat in the physical comps and Paul has been king of the "what has happened in the house" comps. He secures top spot and brings Josh, the one guy who has pissed off Cody, Mark and Elena the most thus ensuring they vote his way. Paul sweeps this if he isn't voted out tonight.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

The only way Paul doesn't win is if somehow, some way his game of playing all sides comes crashing down on him.

I'd rank that as nearly impossible since Alex and Xmas have clearly shown to be so brainwashed that they both refuse to listen to their primary allies, Jason and Josh, respectively.

However if Alex and Xmas don't make final 3 and they go to jury I could see them feeling bitter when they find out how stupid they looked.

Who am I kidding? They'll just be honoured to have been screwed over by Paul and will encourage other jury members to vote for him to win.

[REDVAN]

Honestly I think tonight's double is going to the best/last chance for someone to take a shot at Paul.

I expect either Jason/Kevin and Josh to be gunning (backdoor is going to be easiest) for him if they win the HOH today. It is their only chance to win the game themselves, or else it's Paul's to win easily. The only way Paul doesn't win the game is if he is out tonight, because I expect he will either win tonight or the next HOH himself.

I think the houseguests would vote Paul out tonight, but NOT if it was a week-long nomination or backdoor idea. It has to be on a DE night. So it's now or never.

edit: I think Jason if he stays because he's surprised about this week but knows it was Paul. I think Kevin because he is probably tired of Paul working him and keeping him in the dark. This is despite the fact he "trusts" him. And I think Josh because, although they have a final 3, Josh is a smart enough player to see that he won't beat Paul and he did go there to win. Don't under-estimate the move of getting Paul out having huge influence over the jury... everyone in jury didn't want Paul to win and so whoever gets him out would have huge credit with them.

[Erick Estrada]

I don't care what type of edit they show in the opening 15 minutes there's no way Jason isn't getting evicted. This is too good an opportunity to get rid of a power player to waste it on a guy that hasn't won anything in the house.

Kevin is wise to what's going on but he's also stated many times that he just goes with what Paul says and it works out for him so if Jason gets evicted once again Kevin can look back at what Paul said earlier and come to the conclusion that things worked out just as he said. That said he's kind of a wildcard but the issue is that he's never been in any sort of power position even with the veto so until he wins any sort of competition he's kind of a non-factor.

I have to think the next HOH will be Alex, Josh or Paul.

[Erick Estrada]

Anyone else LOL when Raven got out to that quick 3-0 lead in the veto only to get pretty well every one wrong after? For a brief moment I was like maybe she's going to do something and within a blink of an eye she went back to being useless.
