It's really no different than how Evel Dick did it. I know most think he's an idiot, but I think he knows what he's doing. It's his strategy to get himself far. He knows no one is going to get rid of the guy everyone hates.

It's completely different. Evel Dick doesn't play the victim card. I wont stoop to calling Josh stupid, but I truly think this is his actual personality and has zero clue how he is being perceived by the house or America.

He's annoying but Jess/Cody and now Elena are worse players than him.

I don't see how he could be playing better than Jess and Cody. He's a fan watching in the stands and they are out on the field.

My guess as to how this week will play out....Paul will try to convince whoever wins HOH (unless it's Mark) to nominate Alex and Jason under the guise that they need strong competitors playing in the veto in the event that Mark gets picked to play. If Mark happens to win the veto, he'll use the opportunity to take out Alex, and pretty much ensure victory. If not, they'll use the veto and put up Mark, and send him on his way.

Which is exactly why this is the worst season of BB in a long time.

I agree, but this cast would be sooooooooooo boring without Paul in the back manipulating them. At least there is that bit of intrigue.

I disagree. If Paul wasn't around they would be forced to play. They would have to make decisions, have to draw some lines in the sand.

What exactly did they do that puts them "out on the field"?

 

What game moves did either of them make?

 

Seriously, other than going after Paul, what game moves are you wanting to see?

 

There were two people in the house that universally ticked off every other person in the house. I'm struggling to understand why trying to get them out is "not playing the game".

Cody tried to put Paul up in the beginning. Didn't work but it's been one of the few game moves not orchestrated by Paul

It was a terrible move. Even if he wouldn't have had the safety, the house wasn't going to vote out Paul because he was a member of their alliance.

 

Since when did making horrible decisions mean someone is playing the game?

The ONLY big move made the whole season was trying to put Paul up week 1.

You are forgetting the whole house was with Cody and Jess. They would have gone with the plan. The hid behind Paul's shield because he had the safety and would in turn protect them because he wanted Cody and Jess out.

I don't consider turning the entire house against you with one dumb attempted move playing the game.

 

I'd argue Paul, Josh, Alex, and Kevin are all playing the game much more than Cody, Jess, or anyone else has.

If that was the case, why didn't they go ahead and evict Christmas?

 

Then it would've been the whole house against Paul. Everyone was mad that he went rogue and tried to put them up. That's why they turned on him, not because of the safety.

 

Cody and Jess were two terrible BB players. Not liking Paul doesn't mean they were playing the game.

How was it dumb? Because he was supposed to know Paul started the game with 3 weeks of safety?

Because Paul had 3 weeks of safety. Go with Paul and make Jess and Cody the targets or go against Paul when he was on offense for 3 weeks. It would be stupid to go with Jess and Cody at this point.

How was it dumb? Because he was supposed to know Paul started the game with 3 weeks of safety?

 

Because he didn't have the votes to get him out and if you're going to go after someone as influential and convincing as Paul is, which he had to know from last season, you better have the votes to do it before you make the move.

In case you have forgot, how Cody came out the gate this season is exactly what Paul did last season. Get the vets out first or they will get to the end. Both Paul and Cody were right and it was both of their downfalls.
