It was also good he won this one since he's safe next week as well and people can't retaliate against him next week. But he's also emboldened to how the house has reacted to Cody and Jessica, so it's likely a HOH that gets little blowback because most everyone wants one of those two out of the house.


I also think it's BS he has the protection and can still compete for HOH.

Very good point about having a week for things to die down (as opposed to winning the week immediately before he loses safety). Just seems like he was basically gift-wrapped a walk through to the final eight or so if he just sat back, enjoyed safety, and let everyone else in the house go nuts at each other (maybe stoking a few fires here and there, but not actively aiming to take anyone out).

Play that game and you can have people on both sides loving you and not even considering targeting you (maybe have to watch out for the first DE).

So much about that first temptation is bullshite. Look at the difference between the replace one of three veto players with yourself this week and three weeks of safety.

Next week's temptation is pretty huge too (can make the week a rewind at the HOH ceremony). I think it's fair to reason that Christmas or Kevin wins this week's temptation, so the other will probably win next week. So... let's say Alex pulls off HOH next week (assuming Cody goes home this week). She can get a showmance up there to eliminate, but then one of Paul's allies will likely force the rewind. Just wildly imbalanced powers.

Then, there are no repercussions for the person who actually has accepted the temptation. The negatives are felt by someone else in the house - so why would you ever not accept it?

Good cast, good first week; just see this one really taking a turn for season 16 territory with the way these temptations seemed to be positioned.

I saw the content of that letter on another site and it has to be code . . . who has that many pets all needing vet help at the same time! Also, I don't remember and letters about his pets last season. That was just too strange to start off the letter about all his alleged pets and then later reference his dad doing fine after knee surgery . . . or was that a reference to Christmas?

---

I think the letters are supposed to be written preseason now (which is super lame) primarily to prevent any sort of coding.

Seems like it would be like prison and production would read it and no way they'd let that through.

To add to the conspiracy theory, Paul hosted this same challenge in BB Over the Top(the online only last winter.)

After Shane was evicted, the HGs were surprised by Paul Abrahamian from Big Brother 18, who was there to host the next Head of Household competition, in which the HouseGuests went to the backyard to compete in. Head of Household ("Perfect ShOTT"): The HGs had to search through a large pit of balls for balls which contained a token, and after collecting these tokens, had to use it to redeem red balls from Paul, which would then be used to roll down a winding board, in attempt to land the ball in a box at the end of the board. As Alex had won the handicap from the Veto for Sale competition, she had to wear a disorientating goggle, which would impair her vision. The first HouseGuest to roll a ball into the box would become the next Head of Household, and if no one could complete it within 1 hour, the game would have gone into a tiebreaker. However, Kryssie managed to roll a ball into the box before the time limit was up, and hence became the next Head of Household.

we must never speak of the Kryssie HoH ever again.

Probably. I'm not all in on the conspiracy theories, just adding some fodder. Also saw it mentioned on Reddit that this challenge was similar to the first HOH Paul won last season.

Still doesn't make sense to me why they'd rig it for him to with THIS HOH. Now, if it was the first one after his 3 weeks of safety was up, absolutely I'd buy it. This one just doesn't make sense.

He really does have a dog named King, and a cat named Buttons. He's talked about them before in the house. Plus the letters are written pre-entry into the house, and then something like several weeks before they are used later on in the season to rule out the possibility of a family member putting codes in it.

Now I will say is that it is true that Paul hosted a similar comp to this one during BBOT, and was also the winner of a ball rolling HOH comp in BB18. Now if I remember right, the ball rolling comp was a little different than this one, but still a ball rolling comp. So this was a comp that he had some experience with.

Not when he reads it in front of everyone. Think they'd let it be that obvious? Hell I don't know. I'm not so naive that I think prod doesn't influence the season, that just seems real obvious if it is code.

I might be missing the point of having the feeds, but I'm trying real hard not to go down the black hole of watching feeds from the past. I have to get some work done!
