Alternate Reality - Christmas or Alex are in Evicted Week 1

Last night on the feeds, Cody and Mark were bitching about how the season sucks and Cody opined that it would have been better if Mark and Elena stuck with him in week 1 and ousted Alex or Christmas. So my question is simple: what would this season have looked like?

Its interesting to think of Cody and Jessica maintaining power after week one. How many of their fans would still be on their team? Cody running the house, in control of a majority alliance, acting as if he is a dictator sounds every bit as unappealing as what is happening now. If it were the case and Paul were in Cody's shoes today, would this sub be Team Paul? What would this season look like if Jody maintained control?
