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!
The live feeds have been down since the hamsters woke up Tuesday morning. For those who worried about me, I just took a little rest of BB because I could. The live feeds won't return until midnight ET tonight.
Here are the blog pool match-ups for easy reference tonight --
Alex Ow - jujufruit423, caela, Donna in FL, Nickelpeed
Christmas Abbott - Willie J, Rich from Buffalo, Glenn, QuixoticElf
Josh Martinez - Petals, Stormy, Kelsey in NY, Dr_Celine
Kevin Schlehuber - elee86, aya, SueGee on the Left Coast
Paul Abrahamian - Indiana Jane, Jackie, Brian, Marlo L
JURY:
Cody Nickson
Elena Davies
Mark Jansen
Matthew Clines
Jason Dent
Raven Walton
Hamster watchers ready?
Julie gathers them in the living room to the couches, She tells them one of them will be evicted tonight early. Of course, this was taped last night, but ...!
Then we go into the recap.
Alex cries about being nominated. Josh tries to talk to her. Okay, she's faking. So then Josh real cries. Of course. Paul and Christmas try to console him. Josh wants Alex to win veto so he stands a chance to backdoor Paul. Paul and Christmas tell him Alex has to lose the veto -- she must go home.
Christmas won't commit to Josh when he asks for a final two with her. Hmm.
Josh cries some more.
Paul tells Josh that Alex can cry on command. He says her last ditch effort will be to get sympathy from Josh.
It's veto comp time! And, as we knew it was coming, it's the BB comic book cover zipline comp we've seen before. Christmas is not cleared to play. The time limit is 45 minutes.
Pottymouth is perfect for Paul. He can't say a single sentence without cursing. Mind you, all of them have pottymouths this season ... even Kevin.
Kevin timed out. Alex thinks that Paul is still her hero. Gag. She thinks that either she or Paul need to win.
Alex - 14.34
Kevin - 45.0
Josh - 24.36
Paul - 12.10
Paul wins the Power of Veto! He plans not to use it. Alex thinks he'll save her.
Ah, Paul has to tell Alex he won't use the veto. He tells his truth to her -- that he can't use the veto on her because it would blow his own game. He tries to be oh-so-nice to her as he puts the knife in her back.
She goes to the bathroom alone crying while he goes crying on Christmas's shoulder. And then he cries to us in the Diary Room. Oh, so sad. Yeah, right.
Veto meeting time --
Although he has no intention of using it, he lets them talk.
Alex -- You were the only one I trust
Kevin -- You make the decision.
He doesn't use the veto.
Eviction time!
Kevin -- Says hi to all. Third time on the block, fighting, thank you all want to keep on fighting.
Alex -- Thanks and hi. She's in tears. It's been a struggle. She failed Jason, sorry.
The votes to evict:
Christmas -- Alex
Paul -- Kevin
He's even shedding the bloody hands to Josh on this one. Josh has to cast the tiebreaker. Tears are welling in his eyes. He tearfully evicts Alex.
HoH Comp, What the Bleep? The traditional statements from previous hamsters, one word bleeped out, they must guess true or false when Julie says the word.
1. All right
2. Paul right, other two wrong
3. All right
4. Paul only one right
5. Paul right again.
Paul wins HoH and is guaranteed a spot in the final three.
Hi Jackie and all who come in!
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie, Cheryl and all.......
ReplyDelete~~~SPLASH~~~
Hey Monty
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie, thank you for hosting us, it's greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl and Monty and all who follows.
Hi Penny
ReplyDeleteHey Penny
ReplyDeleteHi all!! Ready for the "live" eviction??
ReplyDeleteI have Pinot Grigio and sangria tonight. Double fisting....
Thanks for having us tonight, Jackie!!
Hi everybody finally back to the land of the living
ReplyDeleteHope everyone and the friends and family are safe after Irma.
ReplyDelete*~*~*~*~ SPLASH ~*~*~*~*~*
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie, Vincent, Monty!!!, Penny, Cheryl & everyone who follows...
I wonder how that rabid, little Paullower will leave? With grace? Or like Cody, Jason & Craven?
Hey tbc
ReplyDeleteCheryl - I am so sad to hear about the nursing home residents who all died of heat (no AC). They were across the street from a hospital too.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo and Petals
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, glad you're okay. Hi TCB, I have margaritas.
ReplyDeleteHey tbc Joe and petals
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie and Cheryl, and Monty and Nicklepeed and TBC and anyone else I missed! this should be a interesting episode!
ReplyDeleteLol, Kevin. He wanted to nominate Raven and Raven and now is asking if he can put Josh up twice :)))
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I have Death By Chocolate ice cream. My favorite. I don't need it, but it I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh Alex, you did it to yourself. You allowed everything up to this moment.
Hi Glenn
ReplyDeleteLol...jo hey ..stupid auto correct
ReplyDeleteHey Glenn
ReplyDeleteYou know what really chapped me this weeK? When Alex read the Bible all week! After the made a point of mocking Cody for the very same thing.
ReplyDeleteHey dummies...there is no backdoor anymore when you ALL play for veto...geez
ReplyDeleteI am over all this crying..ughhh
ReplyDeleteWow, Julie's top. Different.
ReplyDeleteSo that was the big slap that made TMZ go nuts @@
ReplyDeleteThis is cracking me up!
ReplyDeleteXXXmas will "murder families"? That's OK now?
Josh has been crying the whole time. I don't even cry that easy. I wish he would take out Paul at the last minute. However, this is when Paul is really good. He wins at the end. He knows he's burned bridges, so he has to win to ensure he's in the F2.
ReplyDeleteActually - NO person should slap another person. Period. Big slap or little slap, it is wrong. If Cody had done it, they'd have slapped him with an assault charge.
ReplyDeleteI know, monty. I was thinking Paul REALLY slapped Josh. That was a love tap.
ReplyDeleteI never saw it but read about it. I was ticked about it, but that was hardly an assault. It was a snap out of it smack on the cheek. He shouldn't have done it, but it wasn't what it was blown out to be.
ReplyDeleteI love this comp
ReplyDeleteStare crow is fitting when you think about it, lol
ReplyDeleteJust because Paul is tiny and Josh is normal-size, it is OK? I just don't think anyone should put hands on anyone, not like that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe my hatred of Paul is clouding my judgement, but I don't know...I thought laying hands on anyone (no matter how soft the slap), was against the rules.
What if Matt had love-tapped Raven when she was tormenting him?
Now they are gunning to win? They sure weren't thinking about it before.
ReplyDeleteWhat gets me is they helped Paul and Christmas to win HOH, Veto, etc. But they never once let Kevin win. Each time they've been told to not win so someone else could win. Kevin never got the chance for a letter from his wife and kids. I think that is terrible. Even though they never believed he had a wife and kids, they wanted to make sure he never got the chance for love from home. It's sad.
Poor Kevin. He only had four wrong and then it all went sour, lol
ReplyDeleteMonty - my FAVE thing about this comp was when you posted the split-screen of Pauls last season and this season - hilarious!
ReplyDelete"Potty Mouth" was weird, I admit. I mean, he is a potty mouth, but what a weird thing to use as the comic. LOL!
Kevin's is cool.
ReplyDeletePoor Kevin. I wonder if he would have ever won a challenge if given more chances? He was terrible in this challenge.
ReplyDelete45 minutes. Oh boy
ReplyDeleteWonder if he was throwing this one, too, Penny?
ReplyDeleteLast year the timed out at 35:00. Probably because they had one less player this year??? Who knows!
ReplyDeletePaul is potty mouth. Although Alex and Christmas are right up there.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. Alex wore the Perfect outfit for her funeral
ReplyDeleteAlex still, at this point, thought Paul was saving her. WOW! Her Kool-Aid was particularly strong, huh? LOL
ReplyDeletePetals, if all that were true, Alex would have been ejected weeks ago. She was constantly punching Jason or slapping him with her flip flops. There's a difference. imo
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what she says when she realizes nobody is going to save her. What goes around, comes around, I guess. I can't believe these HGs really thought Paul was on their side. All of them except Jody and Mark. I don't get it. In a game, HGs are not your friends. I know you need an alliance, but all of them?? Come on!
ReplyDeleteMonty - Most of this season has been overblown and over-sensationalized.
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone. =)
ReplyDeleteI actually think the comic was a subtle way of telling them all that Paul is full of crap and everything coming out of his mouth is toxic waste. That seems to have gone over everyone's head. lol
Petals & Penny, yes. They're all potty mouths in there. Paul's is funny because he went from Motor Mouth to Potty MOuth with a literal toilet for his mandible in one season, LOL
ReplyDeleteDavid - kind of like Craven's Zing about her clown makeup? Bwhahahaa
ReplyDeletePenny - Even Kevin is a pottymouth this season. They all were, perhaps not Ramses so much. They should give up 25 cents of their stipend with every F-bomb.
ReplyDeleteAgree, Jackie!!
ReplyDeleteJackie, I used to have a horrible habit with the F-bomb when I was in my 20's. I had a swear jar and it broke me of it!
ReplyDeleteAnd he even lies now. Paul, come on. But, again, she walked in to this one. They all did. She's thrown competition for him. Yes, Alex, you set yourself up for this.
ReplyDeleteJackie - good idea! If they had a "swear jar", the person who contributed the least gets the prize at the end of the season!
ReplyDeleteSpare me
ReplyDeleteReally Paul...please give me a break
ReplyDeleteThat's what you get when you final two and three's with everyone in the house.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone... welcome to Alex's demise.
ReplyDeleteAgree David. The word "toxic" on Paul's comic should have been more revealing.
Instead, they focused on the toilet bowl and pottymouth.
Savior Complex, much? ick
ReplyDeleteThe funeral music is kind of amusing
ReplyDeleteReally, Alex?
ReplyDeleteKEVINFORAFP :)))
ReplyDeleteand this three other F2s think he ditched Alex for them. LOL
ReplyDeleteI agree with monty he deserves it
ReplyDeleteand another academy award for Paul
ReplyDeletePaul may have a problem in the final 2. Depending on the questions they ask, will he own his game or continue to lie with a lot of them knowing the truth. What a conundrum he has put himself in.
ReplyDeleteKevin for AFP. Cbs.com/bbvote
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Jackie. They were all f-bombers this year. I've rarely ever sworn my entire life. For me, it's been because I've taught Sunday School. I was afraid if I had a habit of swearing, I'd use the wrong words in church. LOL. Even when I went in to the Air Force, I still didn't swear; and there were many times I should have.
ReplyDeleteI bet they split the vote and Josh will be forced to break it. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteThat's what happens Penny
ReplyDeleteReally Paul
ReplyDelete~~SPLASH~~~ (I'm still in the pool tonight!!) Howdy everyone!! I come bearing BBQ chicken & salad...and will mostly watch while you chat and I eat tonight!!
ReplyDeleteSqueegee
So this is going to force Josh to break it and have blood on his hands once again.
ReplyDeleteJust voted 20x for my fave! ♥
ReplyDeletePlease not Kevin
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a huge cheer. I'm surprised.
ReplyDeleteNow, Alex, you walked right in to this. You did helped your demise.
I wonder if there is an Applause sign. LOL
ReplyDeletethere goes another jury vote. I think Paul will be a bridemaid again this season.
ReplyDeletelets all vote Cameron.. :)
ReplyDeleteAs they say, Pal... I just cancelled your twenty and you cancelled mine, LOL!!
ReplyDeletegoodnite. I can't stomach to watch the end.
ReplyDeleteHi Suegee. I like that in her speech Alex told Jason's Mom and Wife she let Jason down. I wonder if Alex brought Jason's shirt and Raven's heart pillow to jury to give it to them.
ReplyDeletePaul, you look like a monkey doing that!!
ReplyDeleteNight Petals. This comp is always funny.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say Thank You to Jackie early. Really appreciate your time and patience. It is so greatly appreciated.
See everyone tomorrow night.
petals I should have left with you
ReplyDeleteOMG they are giving it to him
ReplyDeleteOh, what a shock... not
ReplyDeleteIt's gonna be a great finale when he comes in second again
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, the tears, the tears.
ReplyDeleteWhat a farce
ReplyDeleteJosh better win veto..
ReplyDeleteVote Cody!
ReplyDeleteNight Petals. See you tomorrow night...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to find out who won the veto. Hoping it's spoiled before the feeds come back up at midnight!
Thanks Jackie and everyone have a great evening!!
Anon - Why would I do that? Cody isn't my favorite. I don't do "revenge" votes.
ReplyDeleteHe could have won all comps. What you talking about, Paul?
ReplyDeleteI'm off to Cbs.com, vote for Kevin, and commiserate in Jokers chat room with other Paul haters.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting us Jackie.
ReplyDeleteI was convinced we were going to have a bitter jury.
Me thinks I am wrong.
We are going to have a very, very, very bitter jury.
Are they ever going to show the jury house again?????
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by! Feeds don't return until midnight here. So, expect a report on the blog come morning.
ReplyDeleteIs there a link for voting?
ReplyDeleteI went to CBS.com and didn't find one!
Thanks as always Jackie for having us! See y'all tomorrow night!
ReplyDeleteBEST HOH to win, you can be HOH two times in a row. woot woot.
ReplyDeleteOkay I heard that people are actually voting Cody for AFP ...what on earth has gotten in to people, yikes.
Sharon, it's cbs.com/bbvote
ReplyDeleteThanks Nickelpeed.
ReplyDeleteI went to CBS.com and finally found it.
Interesting how Paul is now trying to rehabilitate his shady persona with tears!
ReplyDeleteJackie, thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteSee everyone tomorrow!! Have a good night.
Shannon, after reading blogs and twitter, there are a lot of angry fans. The vote is actually going to be between Kevin and Cody. There are past BB players who were saying they are voting Cody. Kevin's daughter is asking for votes for her father. I don't think there will be votes for any others. But who knows?
ReplyDeleteI am so torn what I want to do. I'm one of few on this blog who did like Cody. Kevin is one of my favorites. I'm torn between giving Cody the votes just to show the other HGs how disliked they were; or vote Kevin (basically for the same reason) because he's such a sweet guy. I heard his talks to the cameras were fantastic.
I just want to see the faces of the other HGs (who treated others so badly) when they realize they were not the favorites. So many of them talked about getting AFHG. They talked about how people probably did not like Cody, Jessica, Mark or Kevin. They called them liars. Talked trash about them, really nasty trash talk. I want to see their faces when they find out people did not like what they said.
I know that sounds terrible, but you get what you deserve. I do not want any of them to lose their jobs. This is a game; however, some of the stuff they said was horrible. And, that goes for Cody and Jessica. It never stopped, though, after Jody was gone.
We'll see what happens. Paul does deserve to win, but how bitter will Jason and Alex be when they get in to the jury house? Will they try to affect the others? I hope it's not a bitter vote. From Mark on to Alex, they decided to follow Paul blindly. They all thought they would be in the F2 with him. He convinced them all that he was in an alliance. They CHOSE to believe him. They did everything he asked them to do. To me, if they are bitter, it's their own fault.
Crap, I just realized I let my military spouse ID expire. Crap. That means I'll be running around with my head cut off for a few days getting another one. My poor husband now has to take time off to take me on base to get another one. Crap again. Need to find my marriage and birth certificates, then my Social security card. Crap, crap! Been so involved with midwest league baseball playoffs, I forgot. Dayton lost, so they are not on their way to the championships. :'( But that does mean I get to be here!!!
ReplyDeleteSharon...
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/favorite-houseguest-vote/
I will vote for Kevin because I think that sticks it to the others too.Plus he's about the only one I could tolerate all season.Though I do hope Cody comes in 2nd. I have been trying to figure out who Paul might actually take to final 2 if it's his choice.I believe he wants to take Kevin,and that's why he tried to poison the others against him these last few weeks. He has to be scared Christmas could get pity votes because of her injury.And Josh can win comps and he could be too afraid that Josh could win final hoh and take Christmas over him. just saying...but I'm probably wrong...lol
ReplyDeleteNickelpeed :(
ReplyDeleteSorry about your Military spouse ID. PITA, but sometimes life gets in the way.
At least it's not a one-n-done and you can get it renewed.
Yikes Penny..good luck with that
ReplyDeleteThanks ... got all my votes in for Kevin also, and the tab is 'pinned' so I don't forget each day. As Cheryl said, either Kevin or Cody still sticks it to the others.
ReplyDeleteI think Paul is convinced that Josh is the only one to take to the end. I could be wrong, but I don't see him taking Kevin if given the chance.
ReplyDeleteCheryl, I too, believe voting for Kevin does the same thing as voting for Cody. Neither are liked; and it irks the daylights out of me how they treat Kevin. The way they talk about him just rubs me the wrong way.
ReplyDeleteMonty, I've always believed Paul would take Josh to the final. I don't think Paul will take another woman. He could take Kevin because he thinks nobody likes him; but IMO, he'll take Josh because Josh has had a hand in everyone leaving. He thinks everyone in the jury would hate him because of the pots and pans, etc. I see him taking Josh.
I do not think Paul understands how he's alienated a few of the players. You can bet Kevin and Christmas will be as upset as Jason and Alex. Matt and Raven do not care. I think the people who will have the biggest influence are Cody, Elana, and Mark. They've seen it early and often with the videos. They knew how much Paul has influenced everyone. Cody has already said his vote will go to Paul because he was playing all of them.
I hope they go talk to the jury before the end. I always like to see what people are thinking before the vote.
Thanks Jackie. =)
ReplyDeleteThe voting system is broken for me. Either I have thrown hundreds of votes at the HG of my choice or they are not registering. I suspect the latter, but who knows. If I was a bot I could exploit this. Tried signing out and back in, refreshed the page, but it will still let me vote. Even threw a couple of random votes at others and it still lets me vote. Strange.
IVE ALWAYS SAID IT, CBS IS PLAYIN ALL OF US, THAT DIARY ROOM IS TO TELL EACH PERSON HOW TO DO WHAT, AND TELL OTHER'S SECRET, LIKE THIS IS PAUL'S SEASON....I LIKE THE PEOPLE IN BB, BUT I DONT LIKE THE CHEATIN HELP THEY GAVE PAUL THIS YEAR, OR EVEN AS FAR BACK WHEN THEY LET WILL WIN...IT ALL LOOKS GOOD FOR TV, BUT NOT TO ME!!!
ReplyDeleteIT'S NOT REAL TV, IT IS THEIR REALITY TV
Thanks Jackie! Tomorrow should prove to be extremely interesting!
ReplyDeleteHope you get your ID and it turns out to be easier than you think Penny!
Hey all! Well, we made it through Irma. Still no power. Lucky to borrow a friend's iPad with data!! So finally got the BB updates!! Thanks for the well wishes. QuixoticElf
ReplyDeleteIf I were Alex's grandparents and watched all the things she said about Kevin shuffling his feet and being old, I would be wondering what she must think of me too! The same with Christmas! They are so disrespectful...
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it QuixoticElf!
ReplyDeleteSame guy posting on reddit says Paul won the Final 4 POV
ReplyDeletePaul has supposedly won the POV. Wouldn't it be a hoot if Paul used it on Kevin,Xmas has to go up as a result,and Kevin votes out whoever Paul wants him to? @@
ReplyDeleteI'm going to pull the needle out of my arm now. :)
Lol, unc. I'd love it but I don't think it will happen. On the other hand, I'm not sure Paul wants to cast the vote to evict Kevin... another jury vote he could potentially lose like Alex and Jason. As far as I can see, Paul only has Raven and Matt on lock in the jury. Paul could totally lose this by being sloppy at the end!!
ReplyDeleteLOL@uncartie...
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteDidn't BB used to make they stay awake for BBAD?
ReplyDeleteKevin is awake and alone... as usual.
XXmas & Josh are asleep, while Paul is no doubt mulling over his next move.
Paul just confirmed he won the last Veto. SMH
ReplyDeleteWait a minute....who did Paul put up? Kevin and whom else?
ReplyDeleteCody had already said, if Paul made it to the end, his vote would go to Paul. Whether he does that or not, we'll see soon enough.
I think Paul is hoping that the others dislike Josh enough to not vote for him.
And Sharon, yes, they used to make them be awake for BBAD. I guess not tonight. They also did not allow them to sleep anywhere but on the beds. Josh was just sleeping on the HOH couch.
ReplyDeletePaul also says he's taking Josh to the end. So I guess it is goodbye Kevin tonight.
Paul's 'friendship chat' ... maybe he'll break his arm patting his own back.
ReplyDeleteI've logged into CBS for the AVP vote on my iPad, my phone and my desktop at work. All let me votes way way over 20 times, so guessing my votes aren't registering somehow despite trying all those devices.
ReplyDeleteSame thing happened with my votes, and my daughter lives across town... said the same for her also. There's no clue if the site accepted any votes past the first.
