And honestly, say you got what you wanted, and Jess used the veto and now it's Josh and Alex/Alex and Ramses on the block. You really think they would vote out Alex when Alex is working closely with Paul and everybody except Jess and Cody are doing what Paul tells them? I don't think so.
No, the time they messed up was not putting up two threats at HOH. That's where she messed up, by veto it was way too late. But I get her reasoning at the HOH ceremony that Cody had just come back and she was trying to mend relationships to help both their games. This game messes with your head. It's easy to comment as a viewer (where we know alot more than they know about then they know) but as a player it must be really stressful.
That`s the point. If Jess put up Alex or Raven or Paul Josh would 100% go home and that was Jess`s goal!
It wasnt her plan to make a big move and get rid of Alex/ paul etc. She hates Josh and using her Veto on Ramses and putting up somebody who the house wouldnt vote out like Alex etc. would have been the perfect plan to get rid of Josh.
That`s why Paul was so shocked in todays episode. He couldnt believe that jess didnt use the Veto on Ramses.
and ofcourse this game is really stressful and we as viewers have more information then the players but Jess had a feeling that something is up! She told Cody but he told her that it`s paranoia and she should stick to her plan. Everything is gonna be alright. Well look what happened now. Paul played her. He is the king of the house.
He isnt HOH or won the VETO and at the end he still decided who goes home. that`s a perfect week for him. + he now knows that the house will do everything he wants them to do.
edit: This week shows that Paul is 100% focused. After the noms he knew right away that he can use this to his advantage. He covered all his bases. Telling Alex and Jason that it is smarter to get rid of Ramses and that Josh is a bigger target for Jess and Cody then these two. Then telling the same to Matt and Raven and the perfection came with him talking to Josh telling him to act sad so Jess and Cody dont notice anything until Eviction night. Josh wanted to go crazy on Veto night but Paul right away said NO!!!!! wait till thursday!
this guy is good but it helps that the other houseguests are either super bad at this game or sheeps that follow Paul.
