BB19: HoH Comp Results, Nominations Show Blog Party - July 9

It seems like so long ago! After all, the live feeds already have Power of Veto done and over with. As tonight's show airs, I'll be live-blogging and updating this entry -- refresh the page to get the latest. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

BTW - I won't be blogging the new Candy Crush game after the show. Game shows other than Jeopardy just aren't my thing at all. 

Surprise, surprise! We're starting off with a recap! Oops ... forgot to mention and no room in my title -- the latest Den of Temptation will be shown tonight, too.

It's to the comp. Cody is upset that his people turned on him and kept Christmas. Paul is loving the chaos. Mark told Cody he voted to keep Christmas. He's the only one. We saw the Jessica/Christmas confrontation after eviction. Cody accuses Josh of lying to him. No hell hath a scorned Cody.

Cody looks very sullen in his role as ticket man. Elena tells us they can stockpile tickets. They're all doing that and handing them to Paul so that he can perfect a shot (and win). PAUL wins HoH!

Jessica can't imagine things getting any worse. Cody is sure that, unless he wins PoV, he will be going home. (Well, perhaps had he not done Custer's Last Stand during his HoH run, the first of the season, things would be very different.) 

Kevin lies to Cody, telling him he voted to keep Jillian. A DR clip of Kevin telling us otherwise is good for a giggle. Cody is sure that Ramses and Josh flipped. 

On a side note -- Cody's neck grinding or whatever is annoying. 

Josh tries to make amends with Cody and Jessica. Cody is nasty to him. He tells us that Josh makes "victim noises." Jessica tells Josh he's like a little girl.

So, Josh goes off to cry. Raven, Mark. Dominque and Elena comfort him.  

HoH room reveal. Jessica is in the Diary Room and doesn't want to go. The sound effect for Cody entering is a deflating balloon. Much editing of Cody glowering while the others clap.

Paul tells us he's going to do the opposite of Cody and let all know what he's doing. He proposes Matt and Raven, then backdoor Cody. Matt isn't thrilled. Dominque  suggests pawns from the other side. 

Den of Temptation time -- along with a consequence. Since Paul has already been tempted, he won't be invited in. 

The Den has voodoo dolls of all the hamsters. Christmas ends up being the one to be offered the Ring of Replacement. She can play in any one veto comp sometime this summer, replacing a player. She accepts. Must curse three houseguests via their voodoo dolls turning them into VToads. She selects Jason, Cody and Jessica.  

Paul makes a deal with Alex, telling her he wants to backdoor Cody. She thinks it best for her own game to cooperate. He then goes after Josh with the plan. Josh also thinks it best for his own game. Paul tells the DR that he knows everyone wants Cody to go is the reason they're all "trusting" him.

Voting for DoT - The Halting Hex. Um. Okay. 

Ramses thinks this might be a good week for him to use his third nom curse because he knows that Cody is the target.

Time for nominations.
Ramses puts himself in the mix as the third nominee. If he wins PoV, he can take himself down with no replacement.

Paul nominates Josh and Al

Tex. Josh called him a meatball. Alex, no connection made with him. 

They show Paul worried that Ramses will win PoV and the noms will remain the same.

Oh, the suspense ...
