Everything was coming together for a Big Brother Blindside at Thursday’s eviction but yesterday afternoon Houseguest Kevin Schlehuber decide to burst that bubble and reveal to HoH Jessica Graf what the house was secretly planning to do with the vote.
We’ve known since nominations were revealed that the majority of the house was planning to evict Jessica’s pawn, Ramses Soto, over her target, Josh Martinez. Over the weekend Jessica started to get suspicious but Cody and Elena both naively talked her down from a possible renom that likely could have protected her goal of evicting Josh from Big Brother 19.
While Jessica and Cody were both nervous about the vote flipping against their target neither actually knew for sure. Enter Kevin. He pulled Jessica aside on Wednesday afternoon and quietly gave her the details that something was going down.
Flashback to 4:48 PM BBT 7/26 on Cams 3/4 (get your Free Trial now to watch).
Feeds flip from Jason counting nuts, no idea, to Jessica and Kevin in the bathroom. She goes to the WC and he follows her inside when the conversation begins.
Kevin: I think they’re going to try to flip on you.
Jessica: You think?
Kevin: Yes. I’m telling you, the little kid with the glasses is going home.
Jessica: You think Ramses is going to go home?
Kevin: *nods* Listen, the reason I’m telling you is because you’re from Boston and we’re pals. You hear me? Just be cool. Don’t freak out. You’ve gotta keep your composure.
Jessica: Okay.
Kevin: Don’t say I said nothing. You told me about the thing so you got everybody… Doesn’t matter, right?
Jessica: Right. Let me figure it out. I’ll figure it out. Thank you.
Kevin: You guys are good players. I’m going to need you too (two?) like you need me. Ain’t that what it’s all about. I’m not doing the wrong thing, right?
Jessica: No.
Kevin: That’s what it’s about.
Jessica: 100%.
Kevin: Okay, you gotta help me cause you’re way better at this. *winks*
Watching their entire conversation and reading over what Kevin was saying has me thinking Kevin was really stirred up by what Jessica told him the other day regarding her Halting Hex Temptation.
Jessica exaggerated the Temptation’s powers and suggested it would keep her and another player, that she could change at anytime, safe for four weeks and if anyone tried to put her up then she could punish that person. That’s quite a stretch of the truth and was so much so that the DR called her in and said she wasn’t allowed to lie about it like that anymore. Kinda late to close the barn doors now though, huh?
Kevin may be hedging his bets here by trying to play both sides of the Big Brother house, as he’s done successfully so far this season, but that doesn’t mean the move is going to win wide approval out here for fans. I was looking forward to some dropped jaws at the vote reveal, but that’s not going to happen.
Jessica ran this info back to Cody, Elena, and Christmas before taking it on around to others. Cody got in on the interrogating too while cornering Alex and Jason. Everyone was playing it down to them, but at this point they know. Only person who doesn’t seem to know is Ramses.
Ramses may end up surprised or Jessica could reveal the truth of her snafu before the show tonight. She definitely blew it here with her decision not to renom a better pawn against Josh, but Ramses will pay the price for her mistake.
What do you think of Kevin’s move to reveal the vote plans to Jessica? Well that prove to be a good move for his game or could Kevin get caught in the middle with neither side trusting him? Share your thoughts on his decision and what it could mean for Thursday night’s eviction.
