That would be a mistake. They better put Vic and Paul back on the block and get one of them out anyway.

 

For their game play, probably.

 

From a watcher's perspective, they need to do it to save the season. The interest level of the show with Corey, Nicole, Michelle, James, and Natalie is slightly less than watching paint dry.

Victor voted out, then turns around and wins the jury "battle back" again. First house guest ever to re-enter the house twice. Every single one of them should take him to final two. No way he wins having been evicted twice already IMO.

 

 

Nicole somehow wins HOH.

 

Sounds like her and Corey may be teaming up with Vic and Paul (or at least considering it) to get James or Natalie out.

 

That would be dumb after James just saved Corey. No way they should have a second Battle Back. Paul and Victor are probably going to win but if they don't go after them this week, its over.

Did anyone else think Natalie should have planned to put up Corey and Victor / Paul before Meech got the Co-HOH care package? We were trying to work it out and it seemed like the perfect "no blood" plan:

 

1 - Natalie tells everyone that it seems clear there are 3 pairs & Meech. Don't think any of them would deny that.

2 - Natalie says James and I are a safe pair b/c I won HOH. No blowback from that. Everyone already knows it.

3 - Natalie says rather than pick a pair to put on the block, I'm putting 1 from each of the other pairs (Corey & Vic/Paul). Some blowback, but better than pair being put up.

4 - Natalie explains that Veto is basically for their pair. If Corey wins, she won't put up Nicole as a replacement. If Nicole wins, same result b/c she CAN'T put up Nicole as a replacement. Same goes for Vic/Paul. As such, if any of the 4 win Veto, their pair is safe.

5 - Natalie explains she and James won't try in Veto if it is a competition.

6 - Natalie explains to Meech that the "punishment" she gets for getting a pass this week for not being put on the block in any scenario is that SHE gets to pick who goes home. If she wants to play Veto, she gets to pick replacement. Regardless, she is the vote that gets to pick who goes home. James will simply honor her choice and vote same as her.

 

Wouldn't that have been much better than how it turned out for them picking a pair (Vic/Paul) and all the anger that came from them?

 

Once care package hit, could have done same thing, but James would have had the only vote and would have had to promise to follow Meech's instructions on who to vote out.

Nicole puts up Paul, as a pawn, and Michelle. She says she is working with Paul and Victor but who knows. James and Natalie are safe for now.

Nicole is maybe coming around. Thinking about sending Paul home. No matter how Corey votes, she can send anybody home on a tie breaker vote.

I'd love to see a backdoor, not because I want Paul gone...just because I want to see a big move.

Keeping Paul and Victor in the game is idiotic at this point. Nicole can't beat either of them in the final. If she wants a legitimate shot at the money, she needs to ride with Natalie and James.

 

Also, Natalie in that costume. My goodness. :isurrender:

I'm with you on this. Why vote out the weakest person in the house when she could have voted out one of the two strongest, and severely weakening the other at the same time?:idunno:

They all get too caught up in worrying if they will be a target next week, to make smart moves.

 

You can be a target regardless what you do, so you might as well get rid of the best while you can...

The game is very close to being over.

 

Hard to imagine anyone other than Paul or Victor winning.

Nicole is high if she thinks her and Corey have a better shot versus Vic and Paul rather than James and Natalie.

I think she's being smart. If they went with James and Natalie, she's the top target out of those four. With Vic and Paul she's protected by stronger players. Now once it gets down to the Final Four, yeah, she's probably in trouble, but this was her best move IMO to get to the 4.

If Vic is in the final two, and you're on the jury, could you vote for him knowing he's been evicted twice already and the person he's sitting next to hasn't been at all?

That's even more reason for me to vote for him...

 

He's been the biggest target in the house the majority of the game and fought his way back twice. He didn't just get lucky and get back in. It's not like he's played the game terrible.

I'm firmly in this camp now. At first, I thought there's no chance they give it to someone who's already been evicted, but he's played a really good game. He wins almost everything, is pretty well liked, and has been about as honest as anyone can be in the game. Only person I wouldn't give it to him over is Paul.
