Hamster watchers ready? Let's have a longer recap than usual ...
Magical unicorn wonderland? I dunno. It looks to me like the unicorns have serious digestive issues. The final three are hanging onto the tails for dear life.
And, now Josh is having second thoughts about a final two with Christmas.
Of course, they all have their reasons for wanting to win this final HoH, part one.
Josh is down first at 40 minutes in. Christmas was up around 54 minutes. Paul wins. He's loud. Of course.
HoH Part Two has all the previous hamster faces dressed in medieval garb, they have to attack and knock down those with whom they're not aligned as per a scroll. Josh and Christmas go for the win to compete against Paul in the live part three. They have three different weapons to knock down the targets.
I think we saw too much of this comp. 1 hour 39 minutes for Christmas, 1 hour 32 minutes for Josh. It feels like we spent that amount of time watching them. Josh will go up against Paul in Part Three.
Paul thinks he has the best chance of winning at the end with Josh. Christmas is crestfallen, going on about playing with the broken foot in the Diary Room.
Eek. Dr. Will has grey in his hair! He's leading the round table for the jury. Matt and Raven still think they're puppetmasters in the game. Mark argues with them. Kevin finally gets to speak.
Most of the jury think that Josh was poorly behaved, no respect, Cody and Mark admit that Josh took action and Paul didn't. When asked why Christmas deserved to win, they all seem to think it's all because of her broken foot. Then Will asks about Paul -- manipulation, outsmarting, everybody else did his dirty work. Elena is a self-admitted bitter jury member. It looks like they all think Paul played the best game but no one likes the way he did it.
Finally, we're getting to the final part of the HoH comp -- Josh versus Paul. It's the typical Scales of Just Us comps with how well they know the jury.
1. Paul scores, not Josh
2. Josh scores, not Paul
3. Both right
4. Josh scores, not Paul
5. Both wrong
6. Both wrong
7. Josh right, Paul wrong.
JOSH wins the final HoH Part Three! He both cries and screams.
It's time for Josh to decide who goes with him to the final two.
Paul - Worked with you, had your back, etc.
Christmas - My meatball, love both of you, amazing summer. (Obviously conceding to Paul.)
As we know from the live feeds, he chooses to take Paul to the final two. Silly boy.
Christmas's Julie interview is all teary. She thinks Josh stands a better chance to win against Paul than against her.
I personally disagree.
The jury comes out. They think Christmas will join them. And, yes, she does.
Three questions for each.
Elena - Paul, orchestrated and participated in bully tactics. He denies it.
Matt - Josh, no strategy? Biggest game move. Says he's a superfan since age of six, social game, aligned himself with so many. Got rid of Alex.
Alex - Paul, last season friendship, this year destroyed it. Paul denies, got people as far as he could, but had to play for himself.
Cody - Josh, played Paul's game, not his own. Josh says he played his own game.
Jason - Paul -- moves made to avoid jury issues. Paul denies that reasoning, again blames house.
Mark - Josh -- Altercations, crying and apologetic, then happens again. Josh expose people's games.
Christmas - A joke question.
Josh was a lot more articulate than I expected. And Paul seemed to try to shift the blame for everything on others. Hmm.
Speech time:
Paul - His rehearsed all week speech. Set house targets, put himself in with others, pretty much voicing his strategy for the season (sans bullying). Wins he made. Never on the block. Played the hell out of BB.
Josh - Expose people's shady games, aligned myself strategically, put my targets on the block, played fearlessly ... loses his train of thought ... gave it everything he got, no friendship bracelet, made sure I was underestimated.
Voting:
Cody - stay true to my word
Elena - no jury management
Mark - Congrats both
Matt - More in all aspects of game
Jason - Both aligned with me
Raven - Best game
Alex - Just a game, person who stabbed in front, not back
Kevin - Congrats
Christmas - Love you both, game move.
A bit of time for the evicted prior to jury hamsters. Jess tells them Paul played them all and they all let him. Into Diary Room Paul clips. Jess says she would have voted Paul to win if she was in jury. Heh -- they show Josh blowing up Paul's game in his goodbye messages.
The votes are revealed:
Christmas - Paul
Kevin - Paul
Alex - Josh
Raven - Paul
Jason - Josh
Matt - Paul
Mark - Josh
Elena - Josh
Cody - Josh
JOSH WINS THE SEASON! Paul loses by one vote again.
AFP -- Top three were Kevin, Cody and Jason.
Cody wins. When asked if he had anything to say, he said, "It doesn't make sense." It does. America can be a bitter jury as well as the BB jury can.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 417 of 417Rob with Craven - lmao. Love u, Rob C.
In Jason's interview Rob asked him what was his biggest regret in the house & Jason said breaking Xmas' foot (by far!). Then Rob told him during the scale comp his answer was not defending himself against Matt. Jason seemed surprised by that and said no way was that his biggest regret, it was Xmas, foot (100%)
Interesting. Not a conspiracy moment but made me wonder.
Ed, I listened to that yesterday and want to go back and re-watch it now. Pretty sure they show the houseguests answering it on video so maybe Jason just forgot? Like how he genuinely seemed to do with forgetting he whispered to Raven he was taking one of them off the block on his last HOH.
Yes Agirlsmom, I'm not sure Jason understood the question but he seemed very adamant that it was not defending himself against Matt but for sure was breaking Xmas foot. Yet the opposite was shown during the comp.
Rob is really good at setting up his subjects with his questioning. His interview with Raven was hilarious. Her answer to drinking Paul's 'kool-aid' cracked me up.
Ed, yes!, raven's was hilarious. I only listened to it at first, but later saw the video clip because I couldn't tell if she was answering seriously or not. I think she was serious? OMGoodness...
I'm hoping Jason and Kevin end up OK with each other once they hear/see everything that went down.
Did everyone see how many posts we have here??? 405! Jackie, is this a record??
Anyway. Rob's interview with Raven was hilarious. She just didn't catch on to any of his sarcasm. Probably my favorite interview. She is so delusional.
Paul is still so bitter. He just doesn't want to own his game. There's one thing for sure, he hates Cody as much as Cody hates him. I guess they'll never go have a beer together. LOL
Did anyone catch it when Paul said Jatalie, Joshmas and Maven when he was giving his plea? I just watched it back tonight, out of boredom and caught that. I wonder if Jalex caught it, lol?
Shows he hasn't let go of last season...
OMG, when Rob asked Raven what her favorite flavor of Paul's kool-aid was and it went right over her head, I thought Rob was going to fall down laughing. Another priceless Raven moment!!
Footage from the Wrap Party. I can't remember who was asking about it, but here's a 20+ minute clip.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_ZENYUzKo0
well, that was just people arriving to the party and the end of it was strange and disturbing.
As Elena said, "jury management" is everything...and Josh knew it.
That's something Paul knows nothing about because he's never bothered to watch BB. If he had ever bothered to watch any of the episodes from BB#18, he might have caught a clue. So we get bitter-bridesmaid Paul...who still can't accept the concept that he just might have contributed or created their eventual hostility.
In his eyes, he did nothing wrong, and it's likely he'll never want (or try) to understand anything about why he has lost (both seasons) because that would mean he just might have to analyze his actions and accept some responsibility. Not only does he appear to be a spoiled brat, he's much too arrogant to accept any fault.
Funny Cody backyard interview with Morgan. This really cracked me up.

an interesting clip of the "wrap party". This is the tail-end of the other clips I've seen. This has Joshmas arriving, then Austin, Meg, etc...then at the end, some dudes show up that aren't BB-related at all (they think the camera is about football?) and the very end is the cherry on top: A homeless person begins to fight with a bouncer. Worth watching!
And telling. This doesn't look like a nice neighborhood. Thanks BB! LOL

My clip is same as Monty's - the end is strange & disturbing. LOL
David's clip of Cody's interview: Cody called it as he saw it.
He certainly didn't try to put lipstick on the BB#19 pig.
The Wrap Party clip ending was... odd.
The 'head gear' on that person was rather Sci-fi'ish, maybe trying to pick up some radio stations? :)
I just watched towards the end of that clip and thought it was funny when someone asked Austin if he still talked to the twins (Julia & whatever the ones name is). He said no and it looked to me he was very uncomfortable being asked. Sounds like the relationship didn't end on good terms.
Lol, Liz! Liz was the original twin to go in and Julia was the double. I had Liz in the pool that season. Closest I ever came to winning. :)))
David, I like Cody's interview. It's the most I've seen him talk. I wish he hadn't crossed his arms, but some people are uncomfortable talking in front of people. It's like he said, he's guarded.
I think Cody was so frustrated. He wanted to play the game. He never expected all of them to scurry to Paul. That's what happened. He could have had a better social game, but I think he was so irritated, he blew it all off.
