re: Big Brother 19 - Season Long Thread

Cody could have explained his reasoning after he nominated Paul. Yeah, it was a bit of a blindside after having to nominate 3 other people, but without that safety Cody could have, at the very least, explained why it was so important to remove Paul, and at that time, the rest of the group would have listened.

But once that 3 weeks safety was announced, it became pointless and people stopped looking at Paul as threat because he wasn't a option to nominate.

Cody's real mistake was nominating Xmas after Paul revealed his safety. She at the time was Paul's closest ally though, but still a member of that original 8 alliance. Should of nominated Ramses, Jason, or Kevin instead, since Josh was safe too.

Edit: And people are so brainwashed at this point, nothing Cody can say would get thru to them. Mark finally understands and sort of Elena, but cause they realize now being perpetual pawns shows just how low on the totem pole they actually are.

How is Cody a bad game player when he is still there despite being the target since the first week? So far he's my favorite

Unless Mark or Elena win HOH are they 100% going on the block?

If Mark wins does he put up Paul and Alex? Alex would go home 4-3

well he got evicted for one. Then the only reason Jess went home over him last week was because she purposefully made herself a bigger target. That's how.

Also, Chenbot said she wants live feeds in the jury house

For sure

Yep, I believe he has already said this

So Cody is either going to share the Jury house with Mark or with Alex unless veto changes things

quote:

He played it perfectly and if not for an extremely lopsided temptation advantage, Paul is out of the game week 1

He told no one he was doing this, that is what made it dumb. Taking the shot at Paul was absolutely the right strategy, but when he didn't even tell his alliance was why it was stupid. It made him look untrustworthy, and that's what really let Paul set his hooks into the rest of the big alliance. If he tells Mark, Matt, and Jessica what he is doing, even if Paul stays, he isn't isolated in the game. Matt, Mark, and Cody were a day 1 alliance until Cody pulled that crap.

Still could have convinced them he had to do it since they were all involved in showmances and couldn't risk one of them slipping up and then Paul finding out since he was part of that alliance.

That could maybe work if this was a few weeks down the road but it is hard to trust someone you have known less than a week when they do something that big without even involving them.

That reasoning could apply for not telling them too.

"I trust you guys, but I couldn't take any risk that if the girls found out they wouldn't blab to Paul. He's the only vet in the house. Came in number two last season and they're all fawning over everything he has to say. I trust you guys, and you should trust me, but you know how easy some game talk can slip when we're sweet talking these girls we just met."

Damage control could have been manageable just nominating Paul. It became a lost clause when he then nominated xmas one minute after that.

Edit: And yeah, them hiding wasn't the best move either, but that's not in play of what we're discussing. That being damage control if Paul did not have the 3 weeks safety.
