One houseguest is awake, but is it too late?

Josh is suited up in his metaphorical superhero suit and his Spidey sense is on high.

To use some current slang, Josh is a woke man.

We kick off the episode with just that.

Here we learn the details that we missed during Thursdays live double-eviction episode, and boy are they juicy.

Tonight had to be easily the craziest night of myBBexperience ever, Paul tells us.

All my plans worked perfectly.

Thats how you get away withBBmurder, Paul tells us.

While Josh is one of Pauls top allies, hes on to what theBB18vet is doing.

The move, however, makes Christmas really freaked out that Josh is playing too emotionally.

She tells Josh not to plant seeds of doubt against Paul and to never talk against him.

Paul fails to realize that dictating and telling people what to do can be dangerous.

Id do anything for you, while slapping them in the face at the same time.

I felt like I just saw the devil or something, he tells us.

Josh, Im not convinced youre wrong.

First, they watch aBBfeature film before they fight to remember the details accurately.

Going into the competition, Josh informs us of what the result should be, per Pauls plan.

To this I say I love you, Kevin.

Your heart of gold is more important than this crazy game.

So, with Josh in control, it looks like Paul is going to get his way, right?

The answer is: Maybe.

Its glorious to see.

Paul gloats to us that he pulled off the impossible by manipulating a competition win once again.

Josh, however, while impressed with theBB18vets game, isnt so excited.

I dont need somebody telling me what Im going to do, Josh says.

[Paul is] kind of a mastermind, and hes turning into a monster.

Josh does ultimately follow his alliances plan, putting up Kevin and Alex, but only for now.

Speaking to the camera directly, Josh is fully awake: I gotta separate personal.

I gotta play the game, he tells us, acknowledging Paul would beat him in the end.

Im concerned it may be too late for Josh.

Nonetheless, props to Josh, my superhero in this episode.

He may be emotional, but he has the intuitive chops to playBig Brother.

And finally, to Paul, I say this youre screaming integrity and friendshipwaytoo much.

Beware of leaving any more phony messages to departing houseguests like you did to Jason, Paul.
