BB19: Megan's Exit, Pendant of Safety Show Blog Party - July 2

As tonight's show airs, I'll be live-blogging and updating this entry on a regular basis. Please refresh the page to get the latest news! The real blog party is in the comments section -- please drop in and share your thoughts!

Those of you with the live feeds know there were some happenings in the house today. I'll be posting a full report a bit later tonight and ask that you not post spoilers from the live feeds in comments on this show post. Some of the people reading or taking part on the show posts don't know (maybe don't want to know) spoilers. Thank you!

On with the show ... 

Okay, we have to get through the "previously on Big Brother" bit.They end it with the fact that there will be a shocking revelation. Although it's technically a spoiler, it's isn't really -- it was all over the internet.

Finally we pick it up at the end of the ceremony. Paul is shocked he didn't go on the block. Jillian cries. Megan is upset that Cody made a personal attack when he put her up on the block. Josh attacked her. She's never been so anxious in her life, doesn't know if she can take it.

Josh and Jillian bond. A Mark/Elena showmance is starting and leads us into the Jessica/Cody showmance. Raven and Matt? Hmm. Josh is emotional.

Time for the Have Not selection! Cody chooses the first five Have Nots of the summer. He asks for volunteers -- Josh, Ramses, Megan, Jillian, Paul volunteer. The Have Not room has spiky egg carton kind of beds. There is a Have Not Escape -- only if they give into Temptation. The first to the DR to ask for a key needs to choose between two colored spikes, wrong one extra week.

Into Megan telling Alex that Jessica called her "panda." It all blows up. Jessica denies it. Alex blows up at Megan. Megan cries in the Diary Room and says no one trusts her and she "can't do this."

Now the other hamsters are talking about how long Megan has been in the Diary Room. Kevin is thinking fatherly about the situation. Finally Cody comes and gathers all in the living room.  He has an official BB envelope -- "Due to a personal emergency, Megan will not be participating in the game."

Cody has to put someone else on the block the next day. His crew is pressuring him to put Alex on the block. He tells us that he likes Alex and thinks she's one whose game he respects. 

Paul tells them he's taking the Have Not Temptation. They gather in the HN room. He takes the Orange spike and gets it! He's free from being a Have Not.

They all go to the living room with a video of the Den of Temptation -- each week America will vote to give someone a temptation, if someone takes the temptation, a consequence will be unleashed.

One by one, they go into the room. All get envelopes. Paul gets a glowing table with a pendant. The Pendant of Protection will protect him from the next three evictions. He only has to reveal if he's nominated. It also said that someone will be in jeopardy the next three weeks. He takes it (of course).  

One of the hamsters will be cursed from his random pick of a bottle. He doesn't know who he's picking. 

The Den video appears. It tells them the Temptation has been taken. The consequence will be unleashed in "due time." Be worried the next time you're called to the den. 

America's Vote - The Ring of Replacement is this one coming up.

Cody bonds with Alex, tells her he wants to work with her. 

Nominations time again ... has to name someone to replace Megan. He nominates ... Alex. (Probably because she told him that she wanted to break up his group. He wants her to compete in the PoV.)
