After Paul nominates Jessica and Cody, he invites them up to the HoH room to explain why he did it. He blames the decision on wanting to keep the other nine people in the house happy. Paul, under the assumption that Jessica's temptation was similar to what he had before when Cody tried to nominate him, tells them that he had to replacements nominees ready because he thought they were safe and wanted to make the rest of the house happy. While it's true he had two replacement nominees (Mark and Elena), it's bull that he nominated them just because he wanted to make the rest of the house happy and Jessica and Cody see right through that. I understand that it's the way the game is manufactured to work, but seeing Paul flat out lie in people's faces to try and get them on his side while he's secretly plotting against them just makes my skin crawl. He's such a master manipulator and every time he gets a new minion, an angel loses their wings. Jessica continuously tells him that it was a bad idea to put them up, while still not saying what her hex is, and that's when everything gets dialed up to an eleven. Cody calls Paul out on claiming to have made this decision to make everyone in the house happy even though he's clearly the one running things. He voices his disgust about how Paul acts like he's better than everyone else, then Paul (truthfully) says that he's never said that. Yes, it's truth that those words have never come out of his mouth but the mere fact that he didn't say he never implied it just kind of proved Cody's point. Jessica tries to step in, probably just to tell Paul "my temptation is so awesome, bro!" without actually telling him what the temptation is but Cody and Paul are already zipping their pants down to put their dicks on the table and continue having a fight. Paul tells Jessica to lower her voice and Cody loses it. Jessica just starts laughing. When Cody starts cursing, Paul tells him to leave. On his way out, Paul calls him an emotional pussy and Cody pops back in and puffs out his chest before he leaves the room again. Paul calls him a child and tells him to leave, then when he leaves Paul follows him out and starts acting like a child and mocking him. 
Let me tell y'all one thing. Josh is one lucky bitch. Josh is running his mouth about how much he doesn't like Cody and that he's dragging Jessica down with him. Mark tells him to shut up and Josh's vocal chords went on acid because I have never heard someone yell so loud about nothing. He calls Mark a follower, hiding behind another man to protect himself but...isn't...isn't that what the entire rest of the house is down? They're all following Paul around, letting him make the big moves because they're too scared to do anything about it themselves? Paul may be a very good player but it's because of that reason why the house should team up to get him out. I'm not saying that because I hate him, I'm saying that because realistically he's going to chose a new target week by week until it's just him and Matt's lame ass left in the game so he will definitely win. Fighting each other is going to get them absolutely nowhere but, bitch, it made for some good TV. Josh gets up on the counter and starts yelling at Mark about how he's defending Cody but he wouldn't defend his own best friend in the house, Dominique, and I'm with him until he calls him a joke when clearly Josh is the seasons court jester. The season's Homey the Clown. He literally does a dance, then grabs two pots and starts slapping them together while humming a carnival song in Mark's face. Mark gets up, grabs the pots and if Kevin and Jason weren't there to protect Josh he would have ended up with his head in the garbage disposal. It speaks to what an immature moron Josh is being by smacking pots in somebody's face before backing up and yelling "don't touch me, don't touch me!" If Josh wasn't on the show Mark would have made that bitch a can of tuna fish.You don't go up in someone's face and taunt them unless you're ready to own up to the consequences. He has big mouth, but he needs to stop talking about it if he's not going to BE about it. Otherwise, be quiet and go cry somewhere. I'm done with him. Bitch, if I was Mark I would have picked Alex up and threw her at Josh.
Jessica drags Cody for being a hot head. She drags him by the dick over and over again. Cody is out here ready to slit Paul's throat and hang him up by the balls on the house's Bannister for telling Jessica to lower here voice. Jessica truly and honestly didn't care because even though she appreciated him defending her, there were much worst things Paul could have said to her. After spending the last couple of weeks trying to build her game back up from dust, one blow out and she's back to where she started when Cody was in the house the first time. She starts questioning whether or not they can work in the real world because of how easily he blows up on people. Cody and Mark have a white brother heart to heart about Josh being a bully and Cody thinks Jessica is probably done with him because of his meltdown with Paul. Jessica is on the couch going through all the emotions when Paul comes over and continuously tries to convince her that Jody was not his target and that he was doing it to make everyone else in the house happy. Jessica tells Paul that the temptation would have pulled everyone off the block, so the week would be a waste and that they were upset because they didn't want to use it this week. He spends the rest of the time talking to her trying to convince her that Cody is bad for her game and the only reason that she's a target. 
Paul gathers up his children and tells them all that they need to convince Jessica that Cody is bad for her game so she'll allow them to send him home. Paul's already attempted this so Christmas limps over to Jessica's bed and tries to convince her. Jessica's a very easy target right now but even after all of this, she tells Christmas that despite everything he's still the only person in the house she can trust at this point. In so many words, she tells Christmas that she doesn't want to have to work for everyone's trust all over again. Christmas leaves her with C+ J = no trust. J -C = possible trust. Jessica, those extensions and those eyelashes are just going through it. Jessica gives Cody another chance to get her back but it just results in her grabbing him by the nose and drags him through the room with her words. Jessica tells him she needs someone to balance her out. If he's heated, she will calm him down but if she's heated, she needs someone who will calm her down and Cody flat out says he can't give her that. Jessica is livid that after all the shit she's taken in the house for him he can't just shut his ass up and be calmer. She ends up leaving him in the have not room and slips right back under the covers. Elena and Jessica confide in each other about their failing showmances, which result in Elena encouraging her to cut things off with Cody. Jessica and Cody meet up again. Cody's out here tearing up, proving he's not an actual robot. He wants to jump on a grenade for Jessica's game, Jessica doesn't want anyone to hand her anything, they kiss. They way they're talking you'd think they've been in an on and off complicated relationship for years. They've known each other roughly four weeks and you'd think this is actually the apocalypse the way they're talking.
For some reason the veto competition is still happening this week. Bitch, give us two hours! The veto competition is a memory competition. The veto players (Paul, Jessica, Jason, Cody, Kevin and Raven) have to read from a teleprompter and fill in the blanks with the correct evicted house member's name. They also have to do this in the middle of a simulated hurricane. It happens. Paul wins. He calls Jessica into his principal's office and tries one last time to convince her that Cody is bad for her game. Apparently, Cody told Matt at the beginning of the game that he was only working with Alex and Jason because he wanted them to be the ones to end up taking Jessica and Raven out so they wouldn't have to deal with the fallout. Although (pardon my phrasing) that is some hot, spicy tea...that was weeks ago. Cody is willing to go home at this point for Jessica so that's meaningless. Juicy as hell, but meaningless. Not like Jessica knows that until she has a conversation with Cody about it (which hopefully she does). Jessica tells Paul that she won't use the hex unless she's guaranteed safety at the next two weeks and that the next HoH guns to take Alex out. Paul agrees to the safety, not necessarily to Alex. Jessica leaves, puts sunglasses on (even though she's inside) and head out to talk to Cody and we're left here. We're left bald headed, speechless, wondering what we did to deserve such horrible, addictive television.
EPISODE GRADE: A
Cody's best news anchoring
"Achoo."
"Get off me."
"Okay."
-"I didn't take you for a quitter, Cody." WAKE UP, CODY.
-Mark is doing everything in his bowlerina power to connect with Cody somehow.
-"Cody...you live in a society with people."
