BB19: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - August 2

Raven's too touchy-feely for my liking

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Egos in Exile:

• In reference to the above screen cap -- Raven is always touching and caressing people. I'm sure it's some sort of psychological quirk in me, but I would shy away. Unless it's some kind of romance going on, I don't like random people touching and caressing me. 
• No new circuses going on.
• Mark, who's really not the brightest bulb in the BB pack, is actually trying to play both sides of the house.
• He tells Paul he's loyal to them.
• When asked by Cody if he was distancing himself from them (Jessica and Cody) due to Elena or what, Mark told him it was the house.
• But he also told Cody he's loyal to them and wants to work with them.
• I don't think Mark is savvy enough to work the double agent bit.
• It's probably going to end up with neither side using him for anything other than a vote. Then they'll throw him to the wayside when they don't need him anymore.
• You know, kind of like what Elena is doing with him.
• Now she's irked because he has backed down from their relationship (at her bidding!).
• I'm not a Mark fan, but feel kind of sorry for him. He seems to have the mindset of an adolescent when it comes to adult situations.
• And, it seems like everybody in the house is using him for something or another.
• Well, except for Josh.
• When not throwing condiments on each other, they play fairly well together.
• In three weeks, Christmas will graduate from a cast to a boot. If she's still in the house, she will still be limited as to which comps she can compete.
• Paul wants the others to throw the next HoH comp to Josh.
• That would most likely be the only way Josh could win one!
• But a few of them -- Mark and Elena -- aren't too keen on that move.
• None of Paul's crew want Mark to win HoH. They don't trust him, nor Elena's influence on him.
• Hmm ... another bit of insight into Cody's psyche -- he told Jessica he barely talks to his mother even though she tries and tries to contact him. Once again, I think the dude is probably a good case for therapy. He might not have drug or alcohol issues, but these unsatisfied with life, jobs, people, etc. stuff are definitely affecting his whole personality.
• Jessica fantasized about killing Alex by drowning so they could live happily ever after.
• My gosh, they're ALL whacked!
• Alex is Jessica's nemesis more than Paul is Cody's nemesis.
• Well, maybe not Kevin and Jason. The "old" stay at home dude with a rather dubious background and the rodeo clown are the most normal people in the house!
• All is rather calm in the house. Perhaps the calm before the storm? They (and we) expect Jessica to invoke the Halting Hex tomorrow night. 
• But who knows what will happen after that? Will there be a show tonight for the benefit of Mr. Kite? I just don't know.

Due to some of the comments being made on my posts, I'd like to remind people that the opinions, no matter how prevalent on the part of some people, do not reflect my own. Although I've been involved in monitoring AOL message boards and chats, freelance recapping and/or blogging since BB1, I'm just here for the entertainment (and, of course, any donations folks might like to make!) -- I don't get personally involved in outcries of injustice, "loving" or "hating" any of the cast, etc. It's a show. Just entertain me and I'll be happy. Although I often like some hamsters more than others, I have no personal stake in how the show goes down. It ain't no skin off my nose! 

I just don't know about Josh

His cowboy hat got demoted?

Apparently Kevin is a pirate

Playing with Boy Toy's emotions

Cody presses any juice out of those chops

Jessica wants to pose like a Hymen Trophy

I guess I should explain the above screen cap -- Jessica told Cody that she will post like the Hymen Trophy with Julie tomorrow night. Cody laughed and sent her to Christmas and Paul to ask them what a hymen is. Heh. She meant Heisman, of course.
