BB19: Battle Back Episode Blog Party - July 21
As the show airs here, I'll be live-blogging and constantly updating this entry -- refresh the page to get the latest! As always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join in on the fun!
Who will make it back into the house? Cameron? Jillian? Cody? Or Dominique?
Three battles ahead of us. we're getting a brief recap of each of their exits.
Oh my ... they just said they have to win an "epic showdown" against someone in the house to return. We'll have to see how "epic" we think it is!
Julie is wearing pants, but not jeans tonight.
No guarantee anyone is returning to the house (according to Julie).
They are in Evictionville, must win three competitions. Top two advance, two go home. Next round, one goes home. Third comp, challenger from the house. The house will vote to send someone. If house challenger wins, all go home.
Cameron has been studying the table maze in front of him as Julie talked. The others are looking at Julie. Hmm.
Maze Race, rope and pulley system to move ball through the maze.
Cody wins the first spot to move on! Yay! Cameron is going to the next round! He deserves a shot in the game. Dominique and Jillian are going home.
Second Battle - Billboard Bashers - catapult balls at the ten panels of their billboards. First one with all ten bashed wins. Cody wins. Cameron will be going home. Sigh. He really deserved to have more than 12 hours in the house. I didn't care for him, but he got screwed.
Cody gets to pick one of the two challenges they just did, but with changes, to compete against the house challenger. He picks Maze Race (with a different maze). Had he taken the tougher Basher challenge, the billboard would have been rotating.
Julie gathers all the hamsters in the living room. She tells them it's the Battle Back Showdown and that the four haven't gone home. One has earned the opportunity. She tells them they'll find out in due time who it is.
Jessica tries to tell an upset Mark that he's fine if Cody comes back. Paul isn't happy. Alex isn't happy, either.
Julie calls them all together again. She tells them the twist -- they can stop the evicted houseguest from returning. Diary Room vote to elect House Challenger. She isn't telling them it will be up against Cody. After the vote, she'll tell them. They cannot vote for themselves.
Alex -- Paul
Elena - Paul
They're all voting Paul.
Veteran against veteran, they say.
Heading to the backyard. Cody appears in a huge puff of smoke.
Cody wins the Battle Back Showdown and he's back in the game.
Cody tells us he wants to take Paul out.
Julie tells them the HoH comp will start soon.

ReplyDelete~*~*~* SPLISH ~*~*~
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! I set-out all the leftovers from last night and tapped the Stella keg.
DIG IN
I need to rest -I've been awake all night with stuff.
Have FUN! ♥ I'll check in later.
Hi Jackie and all...
ReplyDeleteI've got beer. That's it but I hear that there are left overs from last night. Anyone want a beer? Name your poison.
~~~~SPLASH~~~~
hey friend. I'm laying low tonight. Tired. Hope Cody comes back.
ReplyDeleteHi Monty, Petals.
ReplyDeleteHey Petals!!
ReplyDeleteWe're going to party like it's 1999!
ReplyDeleteHi folks
ReplyDeleteNo Cody!
ReplyDeleteCody really should show the personality that he has outside of the house while he's IN THE HOUSE. He comes off great in interviews.
ReplyDeleteWOW, WOW, WOW... didn't expect that
ReplyDeleteCody looks super-focussed...for better or worse
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie and everyone! Interesting twist with a house guest competing!
ReplyDeleteHi everybody!
ReplyDeleteCody has on is game face (fingers crossed)
ReplyDeleteTakes 3 wins for battle back but only 1 house win to stop it
ReplyDeleteWhy do I get the feeling this is fixed.
ReplyDeleteWild guess.... (eyeroll) Cody vs Paul
ReplyDeleteThis is Survivoresque
ReplyDeleteIsn't this an old Survivor challenge
ReplyDeletelol Art
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell was Cameron doing with those pulleys
ReplyDeleteHey Homie! I brought some NYFRB just for you, lol
ReplyDeleteI know Cameron got kind of screwed on Day 1, but he's the one I least want to go back in. I mean, he was never part of the game. Jillian would probably be my next choice to lose here. Either Dom or Cody going back in would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteWHOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ReplyDeleteCody moving on
ReplyDeleteCameron against Cody in the next round could be a washout if it's at all physical
ReplyDelete~~~ SPLOOSH ~~~ Too much food last night!!
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never...
YES, Cameron!~!!!
ReplyDeleteUncartie...my thoughts too...amd Paul will make a safety deal and let Cody win
ReplyDeletec'mon Cameron
ReplyDeleteWTG Cameron
ReplyDeleteJesus hates you, Dom.
ReplyDeletewoo
ReplyDeleteWow!!
ReplyDeleteJoe! tsktsk
ReplyDeleteCameron is boring.
ReplyDeleteCameron vs Cody in second part of competition!
ReplyDeleteThanks Monty! Let the weekend begin!
ReplyDeleteCody still got his game face on.
ReplyDeleteI'm out of the pool for good, LOL
ReplyDeleteJesus didn't answer the phone tonight...
ReplyDeleteLOL, Petals. Well, she was invoking Jesus through the whole maze. I mean, shouldn't you save your appeals to Jesus for something more important and more noble than revenge on the other house guests? Or cold cash?
ReplyDeleteHi everyone!! A special night....
ReplyDeleteCHEERS to the weekend!!! DRINK
ReplyDeleteMe too Monty, we're free agents now!
ReplyDeleteI know we are not Paul lovers here, but how epic would a Cody vs. Paul competition be for re-entry into the House?
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping the 2nd round is something more substantial than one of their ever-loving random games like miniature golf or plinko
If this wasn't fixed the next challenge would be mental. Let's see
ReplyDeleteI flipping forgot the Friday show lol Hellloooo Jackie, BB Peeps, and MMMMOONNNNTTYYYY lol
ReplyDeleteCody still looks like someone licked all the red off his peppermint stick.
ReplyDeleteLOL Joe. xoxox
ReplyDeleteThis is SOOOO Survivor
ReplyDeleteSurvivor feel
ReplyDeletehaha Itchy!
ReplyDeleteAgree Joey! Something totally random. And you KNOW it will be Paul.
(watch Paul lose, thus ending his ...nothing, forget it *smirk*)
I wouldn't mind a Paul-Cody challenge... IF Cody wins and Paul is evicted!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT would be good!!
I'm rather surprised at how poorly Cody is doing here
ReplyDeleteNerds can do physics... just sayin'
ReplyDeleteNothing sketchy here....
ReplyDeleteI'm actually nervous!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteme too Joe
ReplyDelete*HOLD ME*
hehe
I guess Marines do too, lol
ReplyDeleteCody with the comeback
ReplyDeleteDang
ReplyDeleteShocking!!
ReplyDeleteIt has to be rigged
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for him he got the shaft
ReplyDeleteLol Homie^
ReplyDeletewhooooooooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteThat's 2 survivor challenges in a row. Next round: fire building?
ReplyDeleteWell the sex show will be back...poor Cameron
ReplyDeletePredictable....
ReplyDelete"rigged"? Why? That's a pretty even challenge and anyone could do it. It's not like Cameron was known to be good at any comps.
ReplyDeleteThat's smart because he already knows the feel of how the ropes work and the one coming out to challenge him doesn't.
ReplyDeleteCody now against a houseguest challenger!
ReplyDeleteDitto, tbc
ReplyDeleteWonder if the house knows it's Cody before they vote?
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty decent try by Cameron
ReplyDeleteFire building, LOL!! ^5 Joe
ReplyDeleteHmm...who will it be? Sorry I'm such a cynic, lol.
ReplyDeleteSurely CBS (or whatever boss makes the decisions) can see that Cody is a contender. His popularity ratings have gone WAY up.
ReplyDeletePlease, producers - end Paul's 15th minute. This is the longest 15 minutes ever. @@
(I'm sure Paul is tired, too. I'll bet he is ready to go on home. Watch)
I thought Cameron had him, but Cody adjusted better. No rigging that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke. Sharon, You're probably right about Paul offering safety. Earlier today I heard a rumor that Cody wins and Jessica wins HOH.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of surprised he picked the maze.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be interesting to see who the House picks. I wonder if they'll know it's Cody. You have to be careful not to pick someone who would throw the comp.
I also wonder if they will know what the challenge is. I mean, if they throw out one of the bigger dudes for a maze, it's not necessarily an advantage.
I forgot - what/who determines which HG battles Cody?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I would pick Paul if I'm the house. It's not like he's exactly a challenge beast.
ReplyDeleteMonty - right! He knows the ropes...he has more control.
ReplyDeleteMonty... always the voice of reason. :)
ReplyDeleteThese challenges are always geared towards the strongest evicitee winning. Sorry but that my opinion, the girls never had a chance.
ReplyDeleteAgreed
DeleteI would like Cody back in if only to see if he learned anything from his eviction.
ReplyDeleteSend out Xmas!
ReplyDeleteMonty, the game was based on aiming. That automatically favored Cody. Fix was in
ReplyDeleteThey knew. All the girls have makeup and Paul had his Vikings vest at-the-ready @@ *yawn*
ReplyDeleteBut I dont wannnnnnaaaa houseguest to come back lol
ReplyDeleteoh shut up Mark, you whiney b****.
ReplyDeletePaul feels it is not chill for someone to come back...errrr...you are the returnee yourself.
ReplyDeleteShut up Paul!
ReplyDeleteCody actually wants to work with Paul if he makes it back in
ReplyDeleteWas this comp last night?
ReplyDeleteTrue Petals. They knew.
ReplyDeleteIf the fix was in, uncartie, the first comp would not have been a maze that didn't favor anyone.
ReplyDeletelol Joe - re Paul being a returnee. He had to know this was a probablility; it happens nearly every season.
ReplyDeletethey have to warn them to be ready, don't they? I mean, what if Julie comes on and someone's in the shower and someone's on the toilet and 3 people are sleeping...
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we'll ever get through a season of BB without grassy knolls?
ReplyDeleteuncartie, I don't believe in the 'fix', lol. Cody won it fair and square and now he has to be whoever he goes against.
ReplyDeleteI presume they ran these comps and the HOH last night??? Is that not true? Otherwise, why the blackout for 24 hours?
ReplyDeleteI think they did and the HoH is the person to battle Cody
DeleteThey need to have a challenge that girls are good at, like the wall thing. CBS knew who would bring in the ratings.
ReplyDeletelol, Jackie. They should probably have the compliance officer stand next to Julie all season to verify it's fair. Of course, everyone will just assume that she's in on the fix also.
ReplyDeleteJoe - They blacked out so I wouldn't have to stay up late covering late comps three weeks in a row.
ReplyDeleteDoubt it Jackie. The original'Grassy Knolls' are still with us from the 60's!
ReplyDeletePetals, of course he's going to say that because he's not hoping his right hand man is on the receiving end of coming back in. Last year, he needed Victor back in there. It's just human reaction.
ReplyDeleteKristen, "girls" on Survivor are the ones that often (usually?) win that maze challenge.
ReplyDeleteJoe - fix? what fix?
ReplyDeleteThat would be fair, TBC
ReplyDeleteWell, I was wrong...
DeleteI don't know about conspiracies but surely production has some 'leeway'
ReplyDeleteI'd rather see Cody in there than Paul.
ReplyDeleteLOL. They don't know what the comp is and who the comp is against. Genius.
ReplyDeletePICK XMAS!
ReplyDeletethats pretty cool how they are doing it
ReplyDeleteJoe, Both comps relied on hand eye coordination. That would favor Cody.
ReplyDeleteLOL That would be epic Petals lol
ReplyDelete@@
ReplyDeleteHa! Jackie. Sadly, I doubt they care about you staying up.
ReplyDeleteGrassy knoll????????????????
ReplyDeleteI'm rather surprised they all want Paul to do it
ReplyDeleteOK - now what? Is it just me?
ReplyDeleteHey Everyone! Wow... so much going down!
ReplyDeletesure you are, Joe.
ReplyDeleteI really hope Cody wins now lol
ReplyDeleteGirls who aren't wearing make up win in Survivor. These girls couldn't do survivor, they're too high maintenance for survivor.
ReplyDeletepshaw..grassy knolls.
ReplyDeletePaul has them all in his back pocket
ReplyDeleteDid you see the smirking for Paul?
ReplyDeleteIN MY OPINION, and only MY OPINION - Paul has fulfilled his 16th minute with this little splif on BB19.
ReplyDeleteI bet he wants to leave, and Cody wins.
I hope this battle back means Paul goes.,. A girl can dream
DeleteAwww poor Mark... not
ReplyDeleteNo it isn't a fairy tale when you just met someone a month ago. Why is it year after year doe these girls fall for these guys and act like this???
ReplyDelete*smh* I can't be quiet, so I am going to bed.
ReplyDeleteG'nite loves.
xoxox
At least watch!!
DeleteMonty time for another 'root beer'
ReplyDeleteNot liking Alex anymore
ReplyDeletePaul should have to leave if he loses.
ReplyDeleteGrodner wrote it for you, Jess
ReplyDeleteThis is SO predictable. Grassy knoll, right.
ReplyDeleteKristen, the Survivor girls don't wear make up because they don't have it. Since central casting took over Survivor, they are no more outdoorsy than the BB girls. At least not generally.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it so much more when there was no returnees from previous years and once you were voted out, you went home for good.
ReplyDeleteBattle.... I would have liked to have seen Cameron in the Battle Back! Ugh....
ReplyDeleteI guess we all knew or predicted this would be the match up.
ReplyDeleteSliding a cold NYFRB to my Homie
ReplyDeleteNone of these girls, except for maybe Alex and Christmas would apply for Survivor.
ReplyDeleteIf code doesn't win this the night will be a waste
ReplyDeleteYour right Ed... kind of obvious
ReplyDeleteKristen,It gets worse every year. Susan, they don't even hide it anymore. The hamsters were told to vote for Paul.
ReplyDeleteNever thought I'd be rooting for Paul, Cody is so arrogant I can't stand him.
ReplyDeletePhony friendship.,.
ReplyDeleteGee, I wonder who will win...
ReplyDelete��
DeleteI guess I got here just at the right time LOL Will actually watch later when it is on here
ReplyDeleteSueGee on the LeftCoast
GRASSY KNOLLL!!!!! lol
ReplyDeleteCody's back
Well that figures.
ReplyDeleteYes Cody!!
ReplyDeleteI'm done.
ReplyDeleteBig bad Paul lost ha ha....Chuggin' my root beer!
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteCody is back and wants to go after Paul!
ReplyDeleteSure, it's not like half of the girls on Survivor aren't model-wannabees also
ReplyDeleteBB was 'down' a player after Megan left. To keep the show on eviction schedule, IMO, they needed one of the evicted to return.
ReplyDeleteI'm out.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't bet on Cody going after Paul. He said on eviction that he was willing to work with Paul. I'd be a little more worried if I were Josh or Mark
ReplyDeleteSo fixed that they use the same comp Cody is familiar with. Unbelievable
ReplyDeleteGlenn, Cody already said in interviews that he wants to work with Paul and go after the people on his team/alliance that went against him. Mark is his number one enemy, but Jessica will buffer that.
ReplyDeleteSharon, that grassy knoll theory doesn't quite work. They were holding Cameron in seclusion from before Meghan left.
ReplyDeletehmmmm....Cody saying he wants to take Paul out now.
ReplyDeleteIn the eviction interview with Julie, didn't Cody say if he had it to do over, he'd like to work with Paul?
Hopefully Cody will play a different game! That was fun to watch. I like Jillian, but when I saw the first competition, I didn't think she'd be able to get back in.
ReplyDeleteThe feeds won't be back until midnight here. I plan a brief live feeds update with the HoH news, but I have to work tomorrow. So, it will be very brief!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
I imagine all alliances are potentially in flux with Cody's return UNLESS they all decide to just go after him again because he's a returnee.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie. I'm off to watch the secret tapes of whatever to see if I can figure it out. LOL, just kidding folks.
ReplyDeleteNew game now!! See you all on Sunday!!
CHEERS
Thanks Jackie.
ReplyDeleteeveryone have a great weekend.
Dang it Joe, you wrecked my theory!! LOL
ReplyDeleteG'Nite
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie!
Thanks Monty for the NYFRB
& Thanks Cody for beating you know who!
Have a Great weekend everyone!
Grassy knoll does work. They bring back the Hg guaranteed to create the most drama. Hence Cody
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they have a fall back plan for a self-eviction. Either eliminate a double elimination or, frankly, they could have just counted her eviction as that week's eviction since she was on the block anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the extra party Jackie! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie, everyone have a great weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteGrassy knoll works fine except for laws against it.
ReplyDeleteYou and me Sue.... watching it from the West Coast! LOL...
ReplyDeleteAs usual, thank you for the best place to fans during Big Brother. Love this blog.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.reddit.com/r/BigBrother/comments/3k6cc4/game_show_laws_and_how_it_applies_to_big_brother/
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie!!!
ReplyDeleteMy power has been out since 7:30 am. I'm working, so nothing taped. Dang it!!!
ReplyDeletePenny, hope you can catch it on Demand. They usually put it up the next day. I'm staying up for the feeds to come back to see who is HOH. It's like the game just restarted. :)))
ReplyDeleteOh, and we're getting that storm now. Lots of lightening and thunder but so far so good.
My husband just called. Power is back on!!! Yayay
ReplyDeleteA lot happened tonight. Jessica is the new HOH....Josh and Ramses are on the block and Cody/Jessica are making nice with Paul. This will be an interesting week. Do you think the plan is to backdoor Paul?
ReplyDeleteI hope so.
DeleteJoe - As I've stated (quite often) before, I have an acquaintance who was the comp challenge director for many of the earlier seasons of the show. He told me the comps are all planned before casting is even done. As long as the audience watches, the producers don't really care who wins. But every season, there are those shouting conspiracy.
ReplyDeletePersonally Im glad Cody won, if not Cameron. I am thrilled Jessica not only has the Hex Halt but the HOH? Good. I like this last twist because it changes everything they thought was going down the merry path.
ReplyDeletePaul needs to worry, all the others need to get in the game. Only Alex and Paul seem to be playing it.
