BB19: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 9

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! 

They start off showing Christmas accept the Ring of Replacement in the Den of Temptation. Recap of Josh wanting Elena out, Paul wanting him to target Jess and Cody. Into the temptation challenge. Recap, recap.

They will show the never crying Cody crying.

Josh really wants Elena out more than he wants Jess and Cody gone. As usual practice, all think they must win veto. Well, maybe not Elena.

Josh tells Jessica that he thinks Cody ruined her game. He wants to hint to her that she's not his target. Cody, in particular, doesn't want to listen to him. Then Jessica follows Cody's lead.

Paul suggests to Christmas that she uses her temptation if Cody is picked to play in veto. Paul tells us he also wants her to use it so she doesn't have that trick up her sleeve later in the game. She tells Josh about the temptation and tells him she'll back him up.

Cody and Jessica talk. Only two names will be drawn to compete. She really wants him to be in the comp.

Josh talks with Paul about his case for Elena going home and Christmas not using her power. Paul really wants Jess out. He points out that both Jess and Cody on the jury would be two votes against them.

Veto players pick. Josh picks Mark who, as a nominee, chose Alex. Josh then chose Cody. Josh delays his blinking okay to Christmas to make time for a commercial.

He gives the blink, Christmas explains the power and takes Cody's place. Cody then cries later with Jessica. 

It's the OTEV comp! Christmas isn't allowed to play, but Cody remains out. This OTEV has a little piggie looking for his mommy and daddy. 

OTEV turns into the Possessed Piglet and spits out green slime. Elena is out in the first round. Whoa! Mark JUST beat Jessica in the second round. Jessica is out of the comp. Mark is thinking ... he had the third round answer while Alex and Josh were still hunting. So, he made a stash of numbers for himself. Josh was last, Josh out. Alex beats Mark up, but lost her number sole on the way.  Mark wins Veto!

Jessica doesn't want to leave Cody. Of course, we get a bit of them looking lovingly sad at each other. 

Too bad, so sad. 

Matt tells Josh that he or Raven (she agrees) will go on the block as a pawn.

And, so it comes to pass.

In the veto meeting Mark saves himself. Josh puts Raven up, saying she agreed and knows the plan. Elena looks disturbed, probably because Mark didn't save her.

Jessica wants to cause drama and flip the house upside down before she leaves.

Paul is a happy camper. 

Josh still wants Elena out rather than Jessica.
