I just hope we're not rooting for Cody to come back just to watch him team up with Paul.

In an ideal situation, Cody would come right back at paul guns a blazing and take him down immediately.

In reality though, Cody isn't familiar with the current lay of the land and has no clue what's been going on in his absence, so his best bet is to just lay low for a minute and take it all in. Going further he said he respects Paul as an alpha, appreciated the game move of him getting cody out, and IIRC he told Julie he wouldn't be opposed to teaming up with Paul.

I think the most likely outcome is paul and cody working together for a time since they are CLEARLY the 2 biggest threats in the house to impose their will for a bit and trim some of the fat, then at some point one of them will be like "ok enough of that, it's go time" and they will truly form a 2-sided house.

But I'm with you, I'd love it if cody came back and instantly won HOH and got paul out.

I've put so much stock into Cody winning the battle back I may be too disappointed to keep following if he doesn't

Yeah I think we overlook that. I just assumed early on it'd be an endurance kinda comp (similar to the wall one recently) but Julie made it seem like something to even the playing field so everyone has a chance. I mean they have to realize Cody against those other 3 scrubs would be a runaway. Hopefully it's not one of the "game of chance" ones like slinging a ball to a numbered target or something. Any of those other 3 coming back into the house does absolutely zero for betterment of the game.

Honestly, even a game of chance Cody probably still has an advantage. If it's like the slingshot game, I can't see either of the other three aiming/shooting it accurately. Maybe if they do the one where they have to count things then Dom might have a chance. Anything physical that doesn't involve hanging on the wall, Cody runs away with it (then again, the bigger guys managed to hang on a while this year).

They will do whatever it takes to get Cody back in the game. You don't think production got the hint when Jess won the temptation?

They can see we want things to shake up, and I guarantee they will bend over backward to make that happen.

So do you think they make up the challenges week by week? They don't already have it all laid out before selecting people for the game?

The in-game comps I'm pretty sure are laid out ahead of time, they'd almost have to be considering how extensive the set design is.

The battle back I can easily see being done on the fly. I mean think about if they decided months ago it would be a physical comp and let's say Cameron/Cody/Ramses/and a cast-wearing Christmas were the first four out. It'd be non-watch TV and essentially gifting the comp to cody.

Just seems too staged. But that guy has a legit history of good info

Been like 4 for 4 on predictions of the ones I've seen. Called the endurance comp, called Megan leaving before feeds even came live, etc.

If Cody sticks to his word Jess will probably put up Mark and Matt
