BB19: HoH and Nominations Show Blog Party - July 23

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! 

The recap begins with the Josh/Mark fiasco. Recap through the Battle Back. 

Cody tells us this time around he'll listen to Jessica. Oh, geez, the showmance goes on. She tells him that Kevin has her back and Josh has promised to send her home. She tells him of the Halting Hex. Jessica tells us they need to play as a team, Cody can't go rogue again. 

The rest of the house thinks Cody will play a more social game. They want him to leave again.

HoH comp time! They all have neon construction vests on in Evictionville. They have to keep their traffic light in place by holding up the red disk eith a skinny long stick. Who's Ready for a Hold-Up? Even Christmas can play this one. 

Kevin then Mark then Paul go down. Kevin punishes Cody (as per the rules to punish someone) by calling the trash man. Cody gets trash all over. Mark also chooses Cody. Road rage dude yelling at Cody to distract him. Paul also punishes Cody. He gets goop cement poured on his back. 

Then Jason is out. He decides to punish Jessica. She gets graffiti spray painted on her back to distract her. Elena out -- ketchup and mustard all over Cody.

Matt out, also chooses to punish Cody. More garbage. Raven out, the Road Rage dude is back at Cody. Josh out, chooses Jessica. black goo all over her back. Josh heckles them.

Jessica and Cody tell Christmas she's not their target. She won't promise them the same because they are her targets.

Oops! Cody is eliminated! He punishes Ramses with the graffiti artists. 

Ramses out. He chooses Jessica -- mustard and ketchup again.

Christmas out -- Jessica is the new HoH! It turns out that her father passed away three years ago on the date of the comp. He's the one who got her into BB -- they used to watch it together.

Josh thinks he'll be the target. Kevin says they'll probably put up Josh and Josh. Paul is worried. Jessica tells Christmas she meant the safety deal. Cody says he'll shut up and listen to Jess. 

Josh goes to the HoH room to talk. She doesn't let him right in. Cody arrives there. He thinks she should send him away. Cody tells Josh neither one of them wants to talk to him. He wanted them to put a bigger target on the block.

Jessica does talk to Matt and Raven. She implies she's not after them. She doesn't want herself and Cody to be their targets. Mark talks to them He loves them after all. Elena is playing nice just to stay in the game. Cody tells us that he trusts Mark the least in the house. 

Paul and Cody talk. Lovefest time? Eep. Cody thinks they could go far if they work together. He tells us that he doesn't trust him. Paul tells us he doesn't trust Cody. So, they'll work together until they don't. 

Heh. A segment on Kevin wrapping himself in Saran wrap to lose weight.

Jess and Cody talk about the nominations. She says Josh is a definite. Cody suggests putting Ramses up. Jessica doesn't think it's time to take out Paul. They feel they need to gain numbers.

Nominations Ceremony --
Jessica nominates Ramses, then Josh. She tells Ramses he's just a pawn. She calls out Josh for being a dirty player in the game. 

Josh cries in the Diary Room. Too bad, so sad.
