Big Brother 19 — What A Mess

Hi y’all!

Okay, so I’m confused.  Seriously, this week is shaping up to be pure chaos.  When Alex first won HoH, I was actually kind of excited because she seemed like she was determined to make her mark and that she would be willing to do what was good for her own game, instead of just acting like Paul’s servant.  However, it turns out that I was pretty much incorrect.

All that talk about Alex being a strong, strategic player?

Nope.

Now, in Alex’s defense, Paul is the most obvious target in the house but he has immunity.  I’d like to think that, if not for those three weeks of immunity, Paul would have been Alex’s target but, at this point, I’m not quite sure.  As HoH, Alex doesn’t seem to really know what she’s trying to do.  Alex seems to just go with the plan of whoever she last talked to.

For instance, her nominations still make no sense.  She nominated Jessica and Dominique and she made it clear that Jessica was NOT her target.  This, despite the fact that Jessica has pretty much announced that her main goal is to get revenge on everyone who voted to evict Cody.  As for Dominique … everyone in the house (except for Paul, Elena, and Dominique) appears to be confused as to why Dominique is not only on the block but is also the target.  Even Alex doesn’t seem to be quite sure, at this point, why she is targeting Dominique.

I mean, Dominique is not a threat, though Paul and Elena seem to be concerned that she’s too close to Mark.  Some people may not care for her personality.  I’m not a huge fan of her talk show.  Paul says that he’s annoyed by how outspoken Dominique is about her religious beliefs.  But, with all that in mind, Dominique was hardly a threat before she was targeted.  She’s a threat now, of course.  Dom has said that she feels that God put her in the house and, more specifically, that God put her in the house to get Paul out of the house.  She even told Josh that, even if she’s evicted, she’s still going to get Paul out of the house.

And she’s probably right.  People in the house are starting to get annoyed with Paul, even more than usual.  Even Mark has pointed out that no one had a problem with Dom until Paul suddenly decided that he didn’t like her.  Everyone in the house is confused as to why Paul wanted Dom nominated and, hopefully, this will lead to them realizing that Paul not only has too much power but that he’s also a bully, one who specifically targets people that he considers to be weaker than him, people like Ramses and Dom.  (Paul may have campaigned against Cody but he never got in his face, not the way that he did with Dom last night.)

Anyway, where was I?  Oh yes — what is Alex doing!?  Before the veto comp was played, Alex told Jason and Kevin that she hoped that the veto would be used on Jessica so that she could then backdoor Mark or maybe even Christmas.  So, they played for the veto last night and Jason won it.

And now, suddenly, Alex is saying that maybe Jason shouldn’t use the veto.  According to Alex, they have enough votes to get rid of Dominique without even using the veto but … I mean, why?  Jessica’s a far bigger threat than Dom so, by leaving her on the block, Alex is asking everyone to knowingly vote to keep a stronger player in the house, one who has sworn that she will get revenge for Cody.  If Alex is so determined to get Dom out, why not veto Jessica and replace her with someone who is even less of a threat than Dom?

As far as I can tell, what happened is that Mark had a long conversation with Alex.  And he told Alex that he doesn’t want to be the replacement nominee.  For some reason, Alex is like, “Mark doesn’t want to go on the block.”  HEY, ALEX — I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO BACKDOOR MARK!?  Apparently, Alex is now looking for a volunteer to go on the block but what type of logic is that?  Does Alex not realize that she is head of household?  Is she worried that Paul will come after her if she backdoors Mark?  I mean, what is going on!?

Anyway, by the time I post this, it’s totally possible that Alex will have changed her mind again.  I believe the veto meeting is going to be sometime today.  Paul has everyone convinced that there’s going to be a special live eviction on Sunday.  He thinks that’s why they played the veto so early.  No, Paul — they just needed the backyard for the battleback.

Anyway, right now, it looks like Dom is going to be voted out but I don’t know for sure.  Things are such a mess in the house right now that I’m not going to make any predictions.

P.S. Voting for the Halting Hex will continue into Wednesday!  There’s a nasty rumor that they’re not going to reveal the winner until after Thursday’s eviction.  Hopefully, that’s not true.  I had been voting for Ramses but I’m now voting for Dom.  Dom is hardly my favorite houseguest but I hate seeing people bullied.
