What is success, really?
This should be one of the most triumphant nights inBig Brotherhistory.
One week ago, Cody was living in exile and Jessica was up on the block.

Then Jessica won the Power of Veto.
This week belonged to her.
The future belonged toher.
Cody had been chastened by his time in the shadowlands.
Im playingyourgame, Cody told Jessica, which is howBig Brotherplayers say, I love you and/or Were doomed.
And so we begin the eviction episode with Sheriff Julie recapping Jessicas path to Thursday.
Things immediately begin to go downhill for Jessica and Cody, not that they notice.
Josh, aware that Paul has tilted the house in his direction, can barely contain his glee.
In private, he conducts one-man dance parties with the camera.
Youre getting played, meatballs!
he chants, dancing with himself, Played!
Meanwhile, at the dumbest possible time, Mark begins to rebuild his relationship with Jessica and Cody.
He tells Cody, I love you, man.
And then he tells Paul everything Paul shouldnt know.
Does Mark get along great with Jessica and Cody?
Does Mark have a problem with anyone in the house?
Thats cool, bro; hey, also, is there anyone you are inextricably tied to?
Im connected with Elena, Mark says.
In return, Kevin gives her the big news.
The house is flipping, and its flipping onthem.
So begins the campaign process.
The results are… not encouraging.
Cody offers Jason what you might call a tough sell.
Jason responds to this with a smile, but hes bolder in the confessional: Lets go to war!
says the rodeo clown.
And so, one of the most successful weeks inBig Brotherhistory ends with a stunningly abject failure.
Pauls victory was near-total.
Outside of Cody, Elena, and Mark, the whole house votes cleanly against Ramses.
Actually, you could argue that thiswasone of the most successful weeks inBig Brotherhistory but not for Jessica.
But where Paul goes, the house follows.
What does this mean for the future?
A line has been drawn in the sand but who will get the chance to build the first sandcastle?
Is that a mixed metaphor?
Heres what we know for sure: The next Head of Household is Paul.Thatis what success looks like.
The Hunter is the King now.
Jessica has that Hex to cast.
Imagine what could have been!
Does Jessica still have more tricks up her sleeve?
Well find out next week.
