FIN TO WIN (VETO COMPETITION)
The first Veto competition of the summer is upon us. The power of veto can be used to pull someone off of the block. Whoever wins can pull someone off, or leave the nominations the same. The game this week consisted of stacking stars from a pool of water. There's a tank behind each of the contestants filled with water and they can only stack until their tank runs out. The contestants with the most stars stacked wins the competition. However, there's a golden star hidden in the water. The first person who finds it and stacks it doesn't have to be a have not for the rest of the summer, but they're immediately eliminated from the Veto competition. Watching Kevin host the competition was really hard, considering his body just consists of wrinkled leather at this point. When the game starts, Raven finds the gold star and uses it immediately, so she out. Good. Fuck her. She serves no purpose. Matt realized there was no point in biting off more than he can chew so he let his tank run out at 10. Jason finished off at 14 and Jillian's number is irrelevant. Cody gives up, and it's honestly the best thing he's done all season. Watching the fury on Jessica's face gave me enough life to resurrect an entire cemetery. Alex wins and pulls herself off the block.
My feelings on Alex have done a complete 180. Yes, she was an uncalled for asshole to Megan on Sunday. But aside from that, she has a lot of things going for her when it comes to having me on her side. For one thing, she's an underdog. She's a strong competitor. She almost won the first competition against Cody and she won the veto with four other people against her. She's also very mentally strong. She knows that Cody is a strong competitor and that being on his good side is a good thing. But, as she said in her confessional, she don't need no man. She immediately reports to Jason the conversation she had with him. Also, Alex just keeps finding new podiums to stand up on and preach to us the entire episode. "If you're looking for a showmance, go on the Bachelor." She called out all of the girls in relationships just leaching on to guys who are strong enough to carry them to the end. As of now, she has my support and I really want her to stay this focused and strong throughout the show. 
Everyone on the basic squad is SUPER pissed off that Alex won the veto, because she's a threat to all of them. Hearing Raven, Elena, Jessica and Dominique yapping about "we" and getting mad at people who are actually putting in work to win competitions is just really funny to me considering the most they've done all season is take showers. Jason goes in to meet with Cody to see where he stands with getting nominated because since Jillian is pretty weak, whoever's joining her on the block is probably getting eliminated. Cody offers him safety this week if Jason keeps the couples and Dominique safe if he gets HOH next week. Jason has no choice but to accept the deal because if he doesn't he's up on the block.
Paul is hilarious this episode. Not because of anything he's said or done, but just the simple fact that he spent 90% of the episode gloating about his flawless social game and thinking that he was in the showmance squad while Cody is talking cash shit about him every chance he gets. For some reason, Cody brushes his teeth really, really aggressively. First off, bro, not good for your gums. My mother is a dental assistant. Second, something about the sound must send off pheromones to Paul because every time this man starts brushing his teeth he comes over and tries to talk game with him. The first time, Cody just stares at him and tells him he has banana in his beard. The second time is even more uncomfortable than when he was talking to Megan last week. Cody reminds me of Sasuke from Naruto whenever he talks to Paul. Do you see those crazy eyes he gets anytime Paul is even in his vicinity? Without a doubt, the winning moment of this episode comes at the end when Big Brother turns into the finest telenovela any of us have ever seen. Cody makes a very big, very dramatic speech about how he doesn't trust a certain somebody in the house and nominates Paul to take Alex' place on the block. Paul, with a flawless dramatic head turn as he puts his necklace on, announces that he took the temptation and can't go on the block for another three weeks. Seeing everyone, especially Cody, sweat like that was so amazing that I was just waiting for Paul to call somebody's mama a bitch and moon the entire cast. Karma is, what? A sweaty, overbearing, messy bitch named Rhonda. Under pressure, he blurts out that Christmas was "screwed over" and nominates her to be on the block. Now Christmas, Paul, and the entire house have a read on what a snake he really is. After talking so much trash about the horrible game Paul played last year, it's almost like getting cheesecake and a strawberry shortcake on Christmas. I'm just so satisfied and full right now. Paul is coming for that ass and Christmas is coming for that ass and I cannot wait.
EPISODE GRADE: B+
Stray notes:
-This is a prime example of how peculiar my grading is for reality shows. Reality shows are meant to be enjoyed, through and through, as pure entertainment. People are cast on these shows for our viewing pleasure. This means that when I see someone acting authentically entertaining, I feel it's doing it's job. I do my best not to hold every show to the same standard which is why this can get a B+ and The Carmichael Show has a B. Everything is skewed differently.
-Alex is an icon for stealing Matt's stars.

-Ramses gets the consequence from Paul's Den of Temptation so he's stuck on the block for three weeks. Haha.
-Jillian is kind of like a bruise on your leg. It's definitely but it's so insignificant that you really just stop caring.
-So, is Jessica def or is that bitch really so desperate and stupid that she's just going to forget that Cody called her Alex IMMEDIATELY after he did it?
-Kevin has no idea what's happening, and it's kind of the best part of the season.

-Mark looked like Paul ate his cat when he stood up and revealed he got the temptation. LOL
