Every good reality TV show needs a great villain. Big Brother has had some strong ones in recent years: Paulie Calafiore, Brenchel, Aaryn and Amanda. But when it comes to Big Brother 19, who is the villain?
After just four weeks, that may be hard to answer. Several HGs on all sides of the house exhibit certain villain tendencies (to borrow a phrase from Dominique). But which one, if any, will emerge as this year’s ultimate villain?
Here’s a look at several potential villains for “Big Brother 19.”
Paul: The one returning player certainly stands out and has been the dominant figure of the game. He acts like the puppet master and appears to be in total control of the game, getting everything he wants.
In many ways, Paul’s game is a lot like Paulie last year, being a loud, vocal, obvious master of the house dictating what will happen. If his ego continues to grow, Paul could easily be the villain of the season, and someone who fans will root against.
Jessica and Cody: On paper, these two look like the obvious villains. The powerhouse showmance is easy to root against because they seem so dominant, proving to be serious contenders in every competition. But what makes it tricky is that they act like villains, but their game is that of an underdog.
They were blindsided in Week 1, Cody was evicted in Week 2 and now it looks like they’re going to get blindsided again in Week 4. If they are the villains, they are extremely inept at it.
Josh: He’s yelling at people during competitions in ceremonies, getting into fights and calling everyone a “meatball.” Josh absolutely has the attitude of a villain—someone who is just going to cause chaos and make people’s lives miserable. But the problem is that he has a glass jaw and the other half of the time he’s crying in the diary room or whining about how mean people are being to him.
He also seems to be less of a threat and more of an obnoxious distraction, like someone blowing an air horn at a golf tournament. Yeah, he’s annoying, but is he a villain?
And maybe the real villain hasn’t even emerged yet. A lot of people like Matt, Raven and Elena haven’t had much screen time. Maybe Kevin will go from goofy, lovable dad to evil mastermind. Or perhaps Christmas, even with her broken foot, will start to be seen as a manipulative weasel (which, if you watch the live feeds, she kind of is).
According to a Buddy TV survey, 48 percent of people voted that Paul was the big villain of this season. Thirty percent voted that Jessica and Cody are the villains, and 12 percent voted for Josh. (Head on over to Buddy TV for more in-depth ‘Big Brother 19’ coverage!)

Yeah, the guy Paul is clown creepy!
How bout Raven? I have the same freaking disease as her and she twists the truth about it constantly and exaggerates everything about it. And her family has been collecting tens of thousands in donations for years. One news story was talking about her and her disease, and the title was literally that it would kill her in under a year………this was like SEVEN years ago!! Her mother is the same – they’re both con artists although they’ve been lying for so long they probably believe themselves. And now the money will be pouring in from BB viewers for poor Raven, who’s going to die young (yeah right). Yesterday she’s talking about freezing her eggs so she can have kids but of course she has “no money” to do it so she tells the cameras she needs donations for it……um, I thought you were on your way out, girl? Why are you planning on bringing kids into the world if you’re going to die soon? And she dramatically talks about not knowing if she’ll have insurance when she gets out — and later admits she just meant if Trump makes changes that will affect pre-existing conditions which is NOT what she was implying at first. She has Blue Cross just like me and it covers pretty much everything with this disease. She owns 2 dance studios and a $40k car but she’s on tv begging for donations. GTFO. And it’s not even just about the donations. She twists everything so much that she’s giving out very false info about GP which is very irresponsible.
@shea do you know her? Just curious
I think Cody and Jessica are villains. They aren’t nice people. When they were in power before, they showed their true colors. Jessica is only being nice to the other houseguests now because she knows she has a big target in her back. Paul is a very good player and a big threat but I don’t really see him as a villain. Josh on the other hand is just weird and annoying but I don’t think he’s a bad person.
How were they being mean people? Because they tried to get the strongest player in the house out? They are the only smart ones. All these other morons follow Paul around like he’s the Pied Piper…they are actually helping him win HOH’s! Jessica and Cody are the only ones who came into the house with the intentions of trying to win, and don’t have stars in their eyes when they look at Paul.
Cody is also an emotionless sociopath who was cruel to Megan for no reason and made homophobic, intolerant remarks more than once on the live feeds.
I agree with Sarah. Cody is very cold and the way he treated Megan and Josh were very cruel.
EXACTLY! Ditto everything Heather said.
Completely agree. Josh is ridiculous but the only true villain on BB right now is the intolerant, sociopathic, emotionless fool that is Cody. I seriously question how he passed his psych evaluation to get on this show.
I wouldn’t say he’s a villain but I absolutely cannot stand Josh.
Most villains are at least entertaining albeit rude and evil but Josh is just annoying.
If my son embarrassed himself, and me, by going on national TV acting as whinny crier, insane, and flat out stupid as Josh does…I’d kill him.
So much second hand embarrassment. I hope he’s gone soon.

Ashley…are you ever going to get an edit post option? No idea why, but I’ve found I always need on this site ?
I would say there is no villain this season.
