re: Big Brother 19 - Season Long Thread

I agree, as for me personally, I loath the bully mentality. Cody and Jess have been trying to steer clear of everyone and they've been antagonizing them when they're just keeping to themselves. Just watched on the feeds from last night, they're just laying in bed and Alex walks in and questions them about her cup. It's really pissing me off. There was a moment that Cody was waiting for Jess while she was in the DR, he was just sitting on the floor in the hallway. I think it's terrible he just doesn't have anyone in the house. They keep saying he's getting a taste of his own medicine but not once do I recall him acting like a complete child and harassing anyone. Maybe he was a dick, but he didn't resort to childish tactics.

After the person screamed over the bullhorn I think they all realized they were the bullies but don't want to be the one to put it out there so they're trying their best with some revisionist history to convince themselves and feed viewers that they were just getting them back for shite that never even happened.

I think this board really likes Cody cause e reminds us of some of our friends. Just a good ole baw that served his country and doesn't like putting up with bullshite. That dude could wreak havoc in a shite talking competition with them but he doesn't even care to

don't particularly like Jessica or Cody, it's just that I HATE Paul, Raven, and Josh.

Yeah I can see how Cody could certainly run people the wrong way. He's a different kind of cat, but I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt based on his service and the shite he's probably seen and been through.

ETA: Agree with lion, he may have been kind of a standoffish guy to those he didn't like, but he certainly wasn't tormenting anyone. He told Megan he put her up because he didn't like her, but it was very matter of fact and after hearing that she bad mouthed the military I can see why he felt negatively toward her.


Jess, on the other, I actually find extremely likable. She is judged based on her looks with this reverse Mean Girl act by Xmas, Alex, and Raven but the way she handled herself while being attacked by half a dozen trashy scumbags yesterday was pretty fricking remarkable. She was relatively calm, kept her cool, and answered all of their BS and lies with logic and facts.

She displayed a hell of a lot of restraint and strength and intelligence, and I think it's easy to see why she jumped to #1.

She has even been loyal and reasonable when dealing with Cody and how difficult his decisions has made this for her, but again, refused to take the easy way out and turn on him to save herself from the mob.

I honestly can't think of a single thing she has done to wrong anyone in the house. Other than arguing with Josh a couple of times, which is understandable considering his juvenile special needs attacks on her Cody and Mark. But even then she was civil to him when he was on the block and didn't kick him when he was supposed to be on his way out.


Really hoping they can win HOH because the other side of the house deserves to squirm for their abhorrent behavior the past two weeks.

I disagree

OTB......votes to evict

Paul- Jess, Mark, Elena
Alex- Matt
Raven- Xmas, Jason, Josh

Kevin is swing vote

how has that turned on him so badly that the house acts like they do towards him.

Paul turned them against him. Like I said when it happened, had Paul not had safety they would have gotten over their anger at Cody to vote him out. Paul was able to seize on their anger and foment it, and here we are.

Agreed.

If they win HOH Alex HAS to be on the block.

If Jason goes up, Alex will evict him over Paul. As I've said before, her turn to Paul's biggest groupie has been the most disappointing development of the season.

Her behavior yesterday was just as bad as that walking trash can Raven. And that is saying something.

quote:

Paul is able to play so well because the house is scared to go against him. It says more about this cast than it does Paul's gameplay.

I said the same about Derrick, but Derrick was and is 100x better at this game than Paul is. He controlled everyone, planted seeds and not once did he stoop to the shenanigans we've seen from Paul.

I think a big difference as well is the vet thing. In theory it should put a huge target on your back but besides two players it just hasn't. It has actually worked in his favor because he can tell everyone the he has played before so you need to trust him. Of course Paul gets some credit for this but I think it is more HGs than Paul.

Paul is still playing the best game to this point, but that doesn't say much.

He reminds me of Frankie in that people seem scared to take a shot because they think they'll be hated once the game ends. And like Frankie, the houses assumptions are way off and dead wrong.
