Okayyyyy... So Kevin thought talking to Cody and threatening to vote against him was a good game move and helped his cause???

I mean, let's be honest...he was going up anyway, and there was little to stop that from happening... But I really wonder about his logic and strategy here... I get that he is at his wits end and all he has now are threats... But geez...

If I am am the HoH and ANYONE comes up and tells me that they will vote against me in the final two if I put them up as a direct threat...they are immediately going up on the block... I have clearly lost this person anyway, why would I give him/her the satisfaction of bullying me around with their jury vote???

I think you can use your jury vote and influence in more indirect ways to lead the conversation... Like, in a partnership tone of voice, "hey, if you don't put me up, you know I'll appreciate that if I am in jury... I love working with you, and want to continue to work with you...prove to me that you still want to work with me and I'll make it worth your while if I get to jury"... Or something like that...

I don't think it would have saved him, mind you...but at least that engagement has a chance in hell... But to go toe-to-toe with Cody and threaten him...you might has well have stayed downstairs and kept quiet...

Meh, another boring week. But I'm at the point where if none of those people could win a single HoH, they deserve to go home. At the end of the day, if one of the blockees end up winning the veto, what are the odds that Christmas actually goes up? I'd bet it's Dani. Good on Enzo telling Cody about Memphis' plan though. Memphis can't go home soon enough. He thinks he's running things.

At least there's the triple eviction to look forward to. At least by then we'll be at the point where the 6 and Enzo will have to eat their young.

Yeah... It won't get interesting until they are forced to eat their own... I don't think anyone thinks they are on the bottom...so there are a number of people that will be shocked when they get put on the block!!! LOL...

I think Dani and Nicole have an inkling they might be. I think that's why Dani keeps working to try and create a rift. But she really had her chance to blow up the game and blew it. She could have been at the top of a new alliance but chose to stick with the old one.

It's interesting that Nicole is campaigning against backdooring Christmas... I think Christmas has her sights on both her and Dani...

So what's with Kevin and his blanket? He's almost like
Linus the way he carries it around.

That was one of the oddest conversations I can ever recall on the show. I have no idea what Kevin was thinking.

It's amazing to me that these people are in a six person alliance yet have no clue about what the other members of the alliance are thinking. It's effective only because they keep winning HoH, but this one will fall apart quickly once that ends.

It felt like Kevin, who's not the toughest guy on the surface was trying to play tough guy with Cody, who basically didn't take him seriously, and it pretty much sealed his fate.

To me, it seemed like an act of desperation. It was basically an ill conceived Hail Mary.

Yeah... Hail Mary, but poorly executed... He can't play the bully...it just doesn't come off as genuine...

He should have played the "graceful plea" card...without coming across as begging... Like I said, I think it would be totally believable for him to say "hey, save me and I'll remember you in jury"... Same message, different delivery...
