And to the shock and amazement of absolutely no one, Cody won part two of the final HOH comp, leaving Enzo planning which of the two to vote for come Wednesday. As expected the fight for part two was a tad one-sided with Cody, according to Enzo anyway, finishing in four minutes and Enzo taking 37 minutes. Yeah, it's been that kind of a season. BB editors are earning their keep this year trying to edit this stuff together to make it look competitive.
So, now it comes down to Cody and Codyette. Will one of the two decide to ignore their years-long friendship, their close family connections, their presumed pregame alliance dating back to March, and vote the other one out? Probably not, but that's the only real suspense left in the game, if you call that suspense. Enzo assumes he's leaving come Wednesday and he's probably right.
Let's see now, Nicole first met Cody when they were on season 16 together. She then hired his father to be her agent after that season. Their mothers became close friends. In season 18 she played with his brother Paulie who voted for her to win the half-million and she won by one vote, so she may feel a bit indebted to him. They've all stayed friends since that season. Now, this season they reportedly started working together way back in March when they were first contacted to be on this season. They stayed loyal to one another all season despite repeated wall yellers, banner planes, and arsonists setting the nearby hillsides aflame with the words "Cody and Nicole are allies!" (Just kidding on the arsonists part.) From very, very early on some of the other houseguests warned the house that they were working together but no one ever took a shot at them. And now they're the presumed final two.
Who could have foreseen that happening? Well, everyone. I mean come on, you don't have to be a psychic friend to have predicted this outcome. You'd have to have been blind not to see it coming. Fortunately enough, Enzo was blind, but now he sees. (A bit too late, but whatever.) He still thinks not voting Nicole out was the smarter move for him as it got him to the final three. Well, if that was his goal then kudos, but most people prefer to win rather than finish third. Enzo plans to vote for whoever votes him out for the win.
I don't really see the jury vote being up in the air. I figure Cody will win it going away. We'll get the typical jury roundtable where they'll all sit around and argue why each of the final three idiots should win, but only Cody truly deserves the win this year. Nicole played her typical "sleep until week nine then start playing" game. 'Mr. Big Move' Enzo never made a big move and when one was gift-wrapped and dropped in his lap (Christmas and Tyler voting Nicole out) Enzo dropped it and turned on the duo who made a big move. Enzo's social game was good, but when it came time to win at the end, he flopped. Cody on the other hand played a very good social game. He won whenever he needed to win. He alienated very few people in the jury. (Unlike Nicole who likely still has Da'Vonne burning effigies of her at night to stay warm.)
So, this is pretty much a done deal right now. Cody and Codyette will be the final two, barring a massive upheaval. Cody will win by a very one-sided jury vote. Nicole will act happy for him. And we can close this chapter of BB and look forward to BB 23. I'm pretty sure CBS could delete this season from their files and no one would notice as no sane person will go back and rewatch this season. For a show with the tagline "Expect the unexpected" all we got was the expected this year.
