With Paulie and Corey on the block, yesterday's POV comp was the last chance for those two to save their game and possibly flip the house back around. The POV players were picked and James, Paul and Nicole were picked. Before the POV Paulie told Corey that if he won the POV he would give it to Corey and save Corey, so he could campaign against Michelle/Natalie and get the girl out and swing the house back to the guys.
The POV comp was a repeat of one from last year where the house guests launched a ball into a numbered grid and the house guest each round with the lowest score got eliminated. There were prizes and punishments involved. I'm not sure the exact order of elimination, but we know Corey went out before Paul as Corey had the POV and Paulie took the POV from Corey. (So much for giving it to Corey to save himself.) James and Victor were the final two and Victor told James to take the $5,000. Victor won the POV.
The prizes were a trip anywhere in the US which Nicole won, and the $5,000 that James won. The punishments were making a cherry pie on demand that Paulie won. (Reportedly he has to bake a cherry pie on demand the rest of the summer.) A spiritard outfit that Corey won. All week he's dressed in a flag unitard with a Zingbot for President placard type thing on his left arm and an Eagle puppet on his right arm. He even has a special spiritard swimming suit and swim cap for the pool. He has to keep one of those items (placard/eagle) on one of his hands even in the shower. Paul's punishment is to be dressed as a Secret Service agent and he has to search each house guest when there's a security breach and check in at each of the five checkpoints in the house.
Paul and Corey are taking their punishments pretty well while Paulie says he's only cooking one or two pies, then he'll take the penalty votes. Paulie claims he lied on his BB application by saying he hadn't been under a psychiatrist's care. He reportedly said he'd asked his doc before coming on BB if it would be okay and his doc advised against it. He came on anyway. Now he's saying he'll only stay in the jury house a week or two until he knows there's no chance to get back in the game then he'll walk way. Nicole's trying to talk him down and calm him down.
Zingbot was involved in the POV comp with a Zingbot for President theme. He apparently got off some good zings, but the only one I've heard repeated was Paul's where Zingbot told him to "shut the F*** up!" Michelle got a good zing apparently as did Nicole, but they haven't been repeating them. We'll see how many we hear on Wednesday's show.
Paulie, "I can win any comp at any time," isn't taking losing very well right now. Desperation has set in. He's become so desperate that he talked with Michelle for around two hours. Michelle is finding herself suddenly having her naps interrupted by Nicole or Paulie trying to be friendly with her after ignoring her most of the season. I'm not sure how effective that is at getting Michelle on your side.
With Victor holding the POV, Paulie is trying to get the house to tell Victor to use the POV on Corey and put up Natalie or Michelle (icky girls) so he can campaign against them, swing the house back to his side, and let Paulie win the game as he's been bred to do this. Victor will nod and listen then say, "Yeah, that's not going to happen. sorry." Paulie may then walk out of the house. Something Nicole is desperately trying to prevent for fear that Corey would then be evicted on Thursday.
The Victor, Paul, James, Natalie final four seems to be forming up pretty nicely with them bringing Michelle along as number five in the group. (She may be number two to Natalie though.) They want to stay focused on getting out Corey and Nicole after Paulie. (I'm not so sure James and Natalie, maybe even Paul, wouldn't take a shot at Victor before Nicole.)
Paulie will be baking pies and trying to convince Victor to use the POV today. It won't work. He'll then have to decide if he campaigns against Corey (his current bedmate) or if he just quietly goes off to meet Julie. He's taken to checking the status of his ticket on several occasions including at least once holding it up and shaking it while listening. (God only knows what he was expecting to hear.) He's thinking/hoping he's got the Round Trip ticket and that possibility is likely keeping him in the house. Paulie's kind of lost it a bit. He's going to be a handful for the DR this week.
It's kind of funny that Nicole is a Have Not this week and forced apart from Corey just when Paulie is freed up from Zakiyah, so those two (Paulie and Corey) now have a real reason to sleep together. After multiple sessions lying alongside of one another in the HOH bed, they now get to be together all night long. I'm not sure both don't prefer this arrangement.
The house should get the yard back today and this is typically a relax and unwind day. Paulie will likely not be relaxing and unwinding today. James just had a very, very long DR session that had Natalie in a bit of a panic. He finally emerged and all's good. Expect to see Paulie scrambling today and trying to convince the house it's in their best interest to keep him. It won't help him any as he's going out on Thursday, but he'll try. He's very frustrated now that the rest of the house doesn't see the logic of letting him win the game. It's all so clear to him, but they just won't listen.
