Some of the houseguests have started to wake up

Welcome toThe Matrix.

Everything that happens here is a carefully constructed reality that he and only he has created.

The majority of the houseguests chose to swallow Pauls pill early in the season.

In doing so, theyve been lulled into a dream world in which Paul dictates the narrative of howBB19progresses.

Now, it appears some others may be stirring.

Is Josh the Neo Weve Been Waiting For?

We kick off the episode in the midst of Jodys worst nightmare.

Pauls minion and Chief Jody Antagonizer-in-Charge, Josh, has won HOH.

Joshs win is literally the definition of the phrase the inmates are running the asylum.

Every time he has a conversation with Elena, Josh says she tries to get information out of him.

I dont trust her at all.

Jody is Pauls constant.

Everyone knows that Paul is gunning for Jody and Jody for Paul.

If I tell you…listen to me, Paul tells Josh.

This is Joshs HOH, not Pauls HOH, she says.

Paul thinks its his room already.

TheBB18vet needs to proceed with major caution.

Heat up those waters too much, and that hurricane may be headed your way.

In an effort to see to it things remain stable, Paul wants everyone on his side to compete.

If Cody or Jessica win, it could undo the system he has created to his advantage.

Meanwhile, Jody decides to minimize the probability theyre on the block on eviction night.

The competition requires contestants to stumble through dark rooms, which have been transformed into a Haunted House.

Whoever is fastest wins.

As Kevin tell us: Im not scared of this haunted house.

You should see the neighborhood I grew up in.

While Kevins terrifying training does result in a performance thats pretty speedy, its not quick enough.

Cody wins, and Jessica comes in last after a half-hearted try.

Ive got to say this: Im proud of you, Jody.

Way to work that intuition into an actionable plan, for once.

Elena questions his flawed plan since there are stronger competitors in the house.

Only time will tell.

I know that youre afraid…youre afraid of us.

Youre afraid of change, Keanu Reeves says as Neo inThe Matrix.

I dont know the future.

I didnt come here to tell you how this is going to end.

I came here to tell you how its going to begin.

Its refreshing to see at least some movement in Josh and Christmas.

All I have to say is this hurry up, houseguests.

Im sick of this flick.

Its time to find a savior and move on to the sequel.
