It's astounding how Kevin just does things and no one even thinks about it.

It's one of those things that absolutely shouldn't work unless there's someone who has acted weird since day 1 like Ramses with his slithering around, blatant attempts to eavesdrop, and the whole banner thing.

Dom seems genuinely to have lost sight of the game and gotten too lost in becoming some kind of TV star. Its not that uncommon. Other players have done the same thing. Jessica's made it clear that part of the reason she stuck with Cody was that she thought it would "ruin" her if she turned on her showmance. Its just weird that Dom's doing it by "hosting" this talk show thing and acting like its a real audition for a real talk show. I think Dom really thinks this is her platform into the real deal.

She was trying to be a YouTube celebrity before the show, so this doesn't completely surprise me.

Christmas is back. 10 broken bones, 4 hours surgery, a cadaver bone, 5 pins, bunch of screws and a plate. She has a year recovery and arthritis will set in after which she'll need another surgery. Doctors say she'll probably never get full mobility back. Christmas is very emotional and everyone consoles her.

Jason is emotional too for his role in it. Everyone assures him they don't blame him. Christmas pulls him aside and hugs and consoles him too. She says its God's plan and it doesn't affect her relationship with him or anything. Lots of nice platitudes exchanged between them.

Also Raven reassured Christmas that she's sick too.

Yeah, logically they should just never trust again. But like, there's no logical reason that Ramses should still be on the block. A lot of people seemed to assume that there'd be a point where Cody and Jess' egos would just give way to sense but I never really bought into that theory. I'm not sure it seems any more likely going forward.

But its just kind of a strategy debate to me. When you've got the majority of the house against you and they seem like they're not going to turn on that but you have a one use special power then what's your best play?

A) Hold back that power solely to try and protect yourself and your showmance partner even if that might just delay the inevitable?
B) Use the power on a key ally if things go wrong next week and try and save all your standing allies and make a concentrated charge?
C) Make a pre-emptive strike and use it to try and build a larger army even if that puts you personally at risk.

Its three bad options and the smartest route is probably to just hold onto the Hex as long as you can and save yourself and hope things change. But there seems like there's some kind of logic in the idea of her just saying "gently caress you!" and forming an alliance of the blindsided.

I think option A with the knowledge that Cody and Jess are capable of winning comps. From this point forward they would have to nominate 2 actual targets if they won HOH, though.

I know there's 0% chance of this happening, but I would love if the curse from Jessica's temptation was that there was no jury this season and that America will vote when it gets down to the final 2. I don't even love the America's vote stuff, but throwing a huge curveball into the "just trying to make it to jury" crowd would be amazing.

Eh, I think the edit on Cody is pretty fair. Like, they haven't show his trannie comments or "pussies" or bad parenting stories but they never show that kind of stuff. They haven't sugar coated how he backstabbed anyone, they've aired the "alpha" stuff, and they generally present him as a shell shocked psycho who has betrayed everyone in the house.

People might still like him or be too amused by his silliness to see him as an rear end. But BB hasn't been kind.

It's also worth noting that a huge portion of America supports this type of behavior as well.

There's just no way 10 people can go after 2 people regardless of what happened in the past and look like they're in the right. It made for entertaining feeds, but it was horrible gameplay and caused sympathy for Jessica/Cody to go up incredibly.

The TV edit has been pretty sympathetic towards Jessica and Cody so I expect more of that this week.

She was talking about self evicting pretty seriously during the bullying spat they had on Monday, but was aware of the legal responsibilities of quitting the game.

I subscribe to the theory mentioned on RHAP that the self-evicting talk was an attempt to get production to shut what Paul & Friends were doing down.

Also banning the pots and pans is kind of dumb considering the taunting game has been a strat for years now. If Cody can't control himself then penalize him. That's what rules are there for. This kind of coddling to protect their narrative is the kind of stuff that really tests my limits.

It seems like an overcorrection on BB's part because they realized they cast someone who psychologically isn't fit to be there and they don't want the talking point of the "ex-Marine who snapped in the house"

Cody claims that he threatened Josh because he knows that production doesn't want anything to happen so he knew they'd tell Josh to stay away and then Jess would get some peace. "I knew what I was doing."

In fairness Elena's delusions of fame are a little more grounded than most since shes a personality on a nationally syndicated radio program that apparently has a focus on reality TV.

But she's a terrible player and has behaved like a brat for weeks so the idea that any players should give a poo poo to help her get famous is laughable.

I get the radio show she was on here. She was pretty much a call screener that got a little bit of airtime

One thing I caught was Josh and Paul having a big game talk where Josh reveals that he also knows Kevin took the $25K at the start of the game. Paul admitted he knew as well and said he's waiting to drop that bomb about Kevin when its time to take him out. Josh advised against it since he's a jury vote but Paul pretty much reiterated that he doesn't think about Jury Management.

Maybe I'm wrong, but unless Paul tried to frame it as something Kevin recently revealed to him wouldn't it just make Paul look bad since he put so much effort in getting the house to think it was Ramses?

I'm glad I don't really care about RHAP's BB coverage so I'm not even remotely tempted to listen to Jessica.

It would have been been more tolerable if Brent wasn't on the show today, but for what little it's worth she's still a better guest than Glenn.

Agreed. One of the other LFC members seems to be the voice of the Reddit stans at times, but it's nothing unbearable and it's mindless content for when I'm working.
