BB19: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 26

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! 

Recap City. 

Finally, the recap of nominations is done and over. Jessica once again tells us that Josh is her target, Ramses is just a pawn. 

Oh, geez. Josh is crying again in the bathroom and in the Diary Room. Christmas consoles him. Well, not in the Diary Room.

Jessica questions Elena about the certainty of Josh leaving. Elena says it will be Josh. Jessica asks Paul and he advises her to wait until after the veto comp. She doesn't like his "unsolicited advice" -- even though she did ask him! She doesn't want to be blindsided.

Paul thinks that Josh should stay, Ramses out. He thinks Josh will be loyal to him and the others. Paul advises Josh to lay low and stay cool. Of course, with a glimmer of hope, Josh will do it!

Christmas impresses Cody with her tale of being the first female on a pit crew at some NASCAR thing. Cody tells us he's trying to improve his social game.

PoV Players random pick time -- Jessica picks Houseguest's Choice (Cody, of course), Josh picks Jason, Ramses gets Christmas. 

Sigh. Now Jason is crying in the Diary Room. At least it's over missing his son, not the game. 

Veto Comp time -- Host Kevin is dressed as a bunch of grapes. The yard is done up in smoothie shops. It's the exploding stuff in your face comp. They have to memorize ingredients from a monitor and add the ingredient into their cup. 

Christmas out in the first round. Ramses, Josh and Jason all eliminated in the second round.  Only Cody and Jessica remain. Cody throws the last round to Jessica to save her hair.

Paul tells Josh to act like he's defeated so that Jessica will keep the nominations the same. Paul certainly doesn't want to be a renom! Josh goes to Jessica, telling her he wants to enjoy the few days he has left in the house.  But he goes wild in the Diary Room yelling she will be blindsided. 

Paul talks to his group about keeping Josh, citing Josh's loyalty. They can't depend on Ramses for the same loyalty. Plus, Josh will always be a bigger target.

Ramses is getting worried. He goes to Jessica to ask her to use the veto. She says she'll talk to people. Of course, they lie to her. Raven looked like a deer in headlights. Jessica is still worried.

She voices her worries and lays out what the other side of the house might be thinking to Cody. He pooh-poohs it and says she's being paranoid. She ponders putting up Alex and saving Ramses.

Time for the veto meeting!
Ramses - Praises her wins, consider options, please take me off the block if it's best for you.
Josh - Apologizes and plays the "I'm leaving" act.

Jessica does NOT use the veto.
