Hamster watchers ready?  Let's have a recap! Julie warns that there may be a blindside but the entire house will be blindsided by a double eviction. Recap ensues.

Julie tells us that some of the others have noticed Paul is running all. And, emotions are running high as they have to turn on each other. Alex really thinks Kevin is leaving. Kevin thinks Kevin is leaving. 

Jason and Kevin are buddies. Between the two, they both think Kevin is going home. Josh is still commiserating about how this is being done with Paul being the one with squeaky clean hands. Paul is planning a tie, with Christmas being the tiebreaker. That way he keeps Alex in his favor. Josh is SO not happy with it.

Jason is talking to Josh. Josh isn't saying anything about the plan, but it's tearing him apart. 

Julie tells them of the double eviction tonight. 
Jason -- Loves wife and son. Please don't vote me off.
Kevin -- Hi to family. Proud of all, had a great time.

The votes to evict:
Alex - Kevin
Raven - Jason
Paul - Kevin
Josh - Jason 

The plan is a go. Christmas casts the tiebreaker -- Jason

Jason slams out without saying goodbye to anyone. Josh is crying. Paul is putting on a show saying if he (Paul) was on the block, he would get evicted. Paul is snapping at him. 

Aha! In the goodbye messages, Josh told the truth about Paul and Christmas. Paul lied and sucked up for the jury vote from Jason. Oopsie! 

HoH Comp -- Fake News, true or false answers. (BB News, not nation!)
1. All right
2. Paul, Josh wrong
3. All right
4. Kevin wrong
5. Josh and Alex only right
6. All right
7. ALEX WINS HOH! 

Nomination time! Kevin and Raven. 

Power of Veto comp -- It's one of those "clown shoe" comps -- race down to lemon truck, search for limes, one at a time into a tube. First to four limes and push button wins. 

JOSH WINS VETO! 

Living room for veto meeting.

He does not use it. 
Statements --
Kevin - Long summer, do what you feel right
Raven - Awesome summer, gastro-whatever again.

The votes to evict:
Paul - Raven
Christmas - Raven
Josh - Kevin

Hmm. Why'd he do that? The plan was Raven!

Raven goes anyway. She goes into hysterics. But she does cartwheels out on the stage.

In the house, Alex looks shellshocked. Josh breaks down alone in one room. 

Aha! Julie mentions that Raven didn't play the game. Ha! 

Unexpected announcement expected after the commercial. Hmm... 

BB Comics - The Revengers on Sunday.

Wednesday and Thursday both eviction nights next week.

Big announcement. Will have a Celebrity BB this winter. 

In a last bit of the house, Josh admits to Paul, Alex and Christmas that he voted for Kevin to go.

BB19: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Sept. 6

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! 

I'm hoping this NYC Mayoral debate ends in time to let the show air on time! We'll see. Albanese versus DiBlasio. At least it's better controlled than the Presidential debates were. And, it has indeed ended on time. Phew!

The recap has started. And, as is the story this season, Paul is calling all the shots the others are taking.

We start out after nominations. Alex offered to be a pawn, but isn't happy that Jason is on the block with her. Jason is just confused. Of course, we'll have to listen to them each saying how important it is that they each win the veto. Paul is trying to do damage control. Jason feels like he might be being duped by Paul. Hey, they have all been duped by Paul all season. Kevin tells Jason that he thinks either Jason or Alex are indeed the targets. 

Jason goes to Josh who plays dumb. Then Paul tells Jason he thinks he himself is getting backdoored. Josh isn't as dumb as he plays on TV -- he realizes that Paul is trying to absolve himself of all guilt when either Jason or Alex goes. 

Christmas tries to convince both Jason and Alex that it's a backdoor plan for Kevin. Hmm.

Christmas, Paul and Josh decide that Paul needs to win veto and Alex will be saved. But Jason will go home. 

Paul is trying to convince both of the nominees on the block to throw the veto comp off. Josh is increasingly suspicious of Paul. Paul keeps working on them. Hmm.

Oops. Word gets back to Christmas that Josh has been throwing a bit of shade on Paul with the others. She's mad even though he's totally on spot. Christmas tells us that SHE still needs both Paul and Josh right now as she cannot compete in a lot of comps. 

Veto player pick time. Christmas randomly draws Kevin. Alex gets Raven. Jason gets Houseguest's Choice and goes for Paul. He tells us he trusts Paul more than he trusts Josh. That's a big mistake.

Veto comp time -- Josh is hosting. Winner gets once in a lifetime on the scene experience new TV show -- Me, Myself and I.  It will happen once BB is over. 

The doorbell rings and it's Bobby Moynihan and he has pots and pans. He's there to host the PoV comp. He's a fan of the show and goes through a bit of mimicking/mocking them all. He tells us that they're all idiots for not getting Paul out. He's right.

Veto comp time. All kinds of crates fill the yard. The crates reveal machines that Punt, Slap, Kick machine. They go by rounds answering questions while the machines do their thing. The questions are regarding how many times an action happened.

Jason is the only one getting the first round question wrong. All the others got a point. Alex, Paul and Raven get points in the second round. Ohh ... Raven is now in the lead! She loses that lead. Alex, Paul and Raven still leading by one point. Now Alex and Paul are tied for the lead. Uh-oh, Alex is NOT throwing it to Paul! They're in a tie and they will have to do a tiebreaker. She thinks Jason gives her a thumbs up to go for the veto.

After several tiebreaker bouts, Paul finally wins. Alex did NOT throw it. 

Josh goes to Paul to ask if he could leave the noms the same. He's worried that saving Alex and voting out Josh will get "blood on his and Christmas's hands." Of course, Paul is only concerned with Paul. 

Josh again tries to open Christmas's eyes about Paul to no avail. He walks away from her during the talk. She's ticked at him.

He tries once more with both Christmas and Josh. No avail there either. 

Veto meeting time. Paul saves Alex (no speeches made by nominees). Christmas puts Kevin up on the block, saying everyone else has already been on the block before. 

Kevin vows to us that he will not throw another comp. Jason thinks that Kevin will go home. Josh wonders if it's time for him to win HoH and shake things up. Remember -- it's a double eviction tomorrow!

BB19: Live Feeds into Tuesday Dawn - Sept. 5

Ew, just EW

Here's the latest from inside this Big Brother House of Changes Need to Be Made:

• The plan is still to take out Jason, not Kevin.
• It's hard to imagine, but Raven is craving even more attention -- shrieking, talking, one-upping every story told by others, going on about her illnesses, now clinging on Paul, pining for Matt and on.
• And on.
• And on.
• BB, in the guise of POP TV, gave the hamsters a big barbecue and lawn games.
• They believe it's because of Labor Day.
• I think it's because they're so darn boring to watch.
• Hmm. Corn on the cob is one of those foods that many people (even those without gastro-whatever) find hard to digest.
• That didn't stop Raven. She also chowed down the burgers. I guess they're not the red meat she absolutely cannot eat.
• They are starting to go with Josh's thinking that it will be a double eviction this week.
• Paul wants to take Alex into his care so she won't try hard to win the HoH.
• Well, he probably wouldn't mind if she won this coming one because he will be catering to her and not have "blood on his hands."
• In reality -- unless the power shifts -- Alex is the next target. Then Raven, then Kevin.
• Ho-hum.
• And on it goes. Make it end, please. 

Playing games

Corn is hard to digest for many

Croquet, badminton, hula hoops

A temporary grill even ...

BB19: Live Feeds into Monday Evening, PoV Meeting - Sept. 4

Enjoy the yard while you have it

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Societal Misfits:

• As expected, when the veto meeting went down, Paul saved Alex.
• Christmas put Kevin on the block with Jason.
• The plan remains that Jason will be voted out.
• Paul keeps telling Kevin not to worry.
• But Kevin is thinking it's likely he will go home.
• When Kevin mentioned Alex won't vote against Jason, everybody else will? -- Paul nodded and told him to stop asking questions.
• That also puts Kevin in a bit of a predicament. He seems to think with the family and new baby on the way, Jason needs the win more than he does.
• Paul is working on his plan of getting close to Raven to throw the others off the idea he might be working with Christmas.
• Josh too is trying to convince people he's not working with Christmas.
• Kevin and Jason have both agreed not to campaign against each other and just enjoy the time they have left together in the house.
• I was thinking ... as deathly ill as she is, isn't Raven taking chances on her life going without a doctor's visit all summer? It's a wonder she hasn't passed right in the house!
• At times, her make-up job looks like she might have.
• Raven talked most of the day. Apparently she doesn't have any laryngitis issues.
• Christmas and Josh spent some time studying dates while Alex, for some reason (perhaps boredom) pored through the BB Rules book.
• And on it goes.

Paul's blow-up doll sprang a leak

Poor pitiful Raven has lost her accent

BB19: Live Feeds Sunday into Monday Dawn - Sept. 3-4

At least he can still smile a bit

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Catastrophic Casting:

• The Have Nots have ended. Thankfully Kevin won't get yet another week of it for throwing the HoH comp first.
• A friend of mine, a fan of BB in the early years, tuned into the show for a few minutes last night. She couldn't believe how stupid this cast is. As she says, "I try to never show my stupid in public and they're on national television showing their stupid."
• Raven told of more (fake) illnesses she has. She told Paul that she is hypothyroid -- but gives him the facts about hyperthyroid.
• Later on in the day, Alex listened to Raven go on ad nauseam about both her mother's and her own health woes.
• I have to give Alex some credit there. I would have burst into a case of the giggles.
• Oh. Raven's mother also has epilepsy. Raven has had to work since the age of 14 to support her because disability doesn't cover the bills. 
• Well, disability when you've hardly or never worked doesn't pay much. I'm beginning to doubt that her mother ever had a real job at all or for very long if she did. 
• But how can poor deathly ill Raven work so much to pay all those bills?
• It's a mystery.
• Oh. There are always Go Fund Me sites!
• Ha.
• Oh. And Raven apparently had to doctor shop to find one who would say she had the gastro-whatever.
• Gee, I wonder why?
• Raven's grandmother had to have surgery just when she was leaving to go into the BB house. A "full knee replacement." Um, that could very well be true. Many many folks have that done. I have two of those.
• Oh my. Raven also has acid reflux. The horrors just never end.
• Josh is upset because the latest plan, still to vote out Jason, is to save Alex with the veto. Kevin would be put up in her place but not voted out.
• Paul thinks that will gain Alex's trust and she won't try to win HoH -- she'd be willing to throw it to Paul.
• Josh thinks that the plan gives Paul more favor than them. Of course, he's the ONLY one thinking Paul needs to go. That almost redeems his circus music and pots and pans from the early weeks.
• Well, not quite. But ...!
• Josh stated his thoughts to Christmas, but she remains Paul-blinded.
• They don't seem to be thinking about double eviction ... except for Josh. He thinks it's coming this week.
• Josh even tried to tell Paul that the plan would expose himself (Josh) and Christmas.
• Christmas, Paul and Josh had a heated conversation about Josh's thoughts. The two dismiss Josh as "freaking out" and they know what they're doing.
• Josh even pulled his "superfan" card about double eviction coming this week and they pooh-poohed him.
• A bit later Josh alone talked to the camera. Hey, bud ... we all agree with you. The plan will only aid Paul -- he gets "no blood on his hands" and you and Christmas do. We see it. We've seen it since Day One and y'all let it get to this point.
• Josh is amazed that he's the only one who sees through Paul.
• So are we.
• Paul snapped at Josh telling him to never question his loyalty again.
• Oh my. Keep questioning it Josh, win something and put up Paul. The show fans will rejoice. You will go from zero to hero. Just do it!
• In other news, Christmas and Paul think that Raven is a mean girl and wonder if they should confront her about her behavior.
• I think all of the women in the house this season fit the mean girl description. If Paul weren't a guy, he'd be a mean girl in so many ways. Oh, not to your face, but ...
• Paul and Christmas stayed up until the wee hours. They still want the save Alex, put Kevin up with Jason, vote out Jason, Paul befriend Alex plan.
• Paul will now attach himself more to Raven because Josh might have hinted to her that Christmas/Paul are working together.
• Is this all going to end soon?
• Please?

Paul and Christmas into Monday dawn

Is he the only one with smarts?

Yeah, put the nasty feet by your drink

Will his fate be sealed today?

Close the refrigerator doors! Sheesh!

Suffering through Raven disease tales

BB19: HoH Comp, Nominations Show Blog Party - Sept. 3

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!

Because of the rain delay on Thursday night, we'll see the HoH comp tonight.

But first ... the recap. 

Okay, finally the rain-delayed HoH comp. Paul has schemed to have Christmas and Josh to go for the win. He wants Alex to feel safe, so Kevin is once again the ruse. He talks to Alex about throwing the comp. Jason can't play as outgoing HoH. Kevin is reluctant to throw the comp. Paul tells him to trust him. He squares the throwing with Alex who agrees to do it if Kevin does it. Now it's onto convincing Raven. 

It's obviously a repeat of the Ready, Set, Whoa comp we've seen in the past. Christmas tells us she wants to target Alex and Jason. Alex tells us she won't drop out until she sees Kevin go. False starts seem to be the only way to throw this to Christmas on crutches. 

It all hinges on Kevin going out first. He's reluctant. But he does it. Alex tells us Kevin will get evicted this week because he trusted Paul. Then she throws it. She trusts Paul, too. Raven throws it. Kevin is all confused now. Paul throws it. Kevin thinks he has a plan. Y'think?

It's down to Christmas and Josh. Josh wants her to win. But she wants it to be realistic-looking. She doesn't like it looking so set-up. Josh throws it. Christmas wins by default. She's the new HoH.

Alex is a true believer in Christmas. Her childhood fantasies are going to fall hard this week. 

Raven realizes they're doing the same thing to Alex and Jason that was just done last week to her and Matt. Kevin is worried, though. Paul has to calm his nerves. Kevin trusts Paul. Or, at least feels he has little choice than to trust him. Paul doesn't want Kevin cluing in Jason. 

Now that Matt is gone, Raven thinks Paul is her new knight in shining armor. Gag.

Alex actually volunteers to go on the block. She thinks that if she goes up as a pawn with Kevin, no one will vote for her to go.

In their lap and yap, Jason tries to warn Kevin that he (Kev) and Raven will go on the block. Hmm. Kevin tells us he thinks he has to trust Paul on this one.

Now Raven is saying she's had surgery for "rough knee cap syndrome" and no cartilage. I'm a knee surgery of all kinds person myself. I have/had chrondromalacia patella which would sort of fit that description. She's lying. Now I have knee replacements, so the lack of cartilage isn't an issue!

A few fluff segments. Josh loved Elena. Alex hides to scare Jason. 

The Tree of Temptation shows for its final time. Christmas doesn't want anyone to go for it. They've edited it like Jason was going for an apple. But he can't take the chance of not playing in the next HoH and he knows it.  

More fluff -- Alex scaring Josh and Christmas workouts. 

Alex tells Jason that there should really be two pawns and a real backdoor of Kevin. She proposes it to Paul. She thinks Josh would be a great pawn. Alex goes to Christmas about it. 

Christmas and Paul talk about it. She doesn't want to take the heat. Paul suggests keeping the plan the same -- Alex and Jason -- but no backdoor on Kevin. I guess she'll have to face the music when the backdoor doesn't open! But it will be on Christmas, not Paul. Unless of course, Paul wins the veto ... 

Nominations ceremony time.
Christmas nominates Alex, then Jason. Jason pretends to faint. She says that Alex is a pawn. Jason, you are a triple threat, I must take out a strong male figure. 

Alex still trusts Christmas. Jason is suspicious.

BB19: Live Feeds into Sunday, Power of Veto - Sept. 2-3

Dead Man walking?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of So Fascinating I Fell Asleep:

• I worked late yesterday. I napped before the veto comp feeds block opened the house up to us again.
• Then I scouted out the day's feeds.
• I gathered some screen shots and noticed it was 4am. 
• I went back to sleep.
• Oops. Now it's very late!
• My real life work has been incredibly stressful and hectic as of late and I was quite ill about a week ago. I think it's all catching up to me.
• Enough about me.
• Onto the happenings ...
• Before the veto comp, it was all the figuring out scenarios with the what ifs -- what if Jason wins, what if Kevin wins (haha), what if Raven wins.
• Everyone played for the veto except for Josh.
• When the feeds returned, all of the guys (including Josh) had colorful suspenders and bowties, with short-shorts. 
• Kevin changed clothes almost immediately.
• Only Jason left his bowtie on for a while.
• Paul eventually took off his shirt but left the suspenders on and reminded me of Leather Boy from the old Craig Ferguson shows.
• As for the women -- Raven looked a heck of a lot better in her outfit than in the horrible nasty orange rag from Matt. Christmas was okay in her duds. Alex, like she is more often than not, had her chest hanging out all over the place. Sure, she can flaunt her chest ... but does she have to?
• Maybe I'm just a bit prudish. But low-cut versus all but exposed just ain't the same thing!
• Oh. Paul won the veto.
• He's wracking up the veto wins.
• And, I do suspect that if he weren't throwing so many HoH comps, he could be winning them, too.
• He could be the ultimate BB game player except for one thing ...
• ... he's so ruthless in his scheming and manipulating people that he's brought an overall state of cruelty to the game unlike we've ever seen before.
• And, mind you, I've watched and covered BB since the first season. I've seen much cruelty over the years.
• I've actually liked some of the hamsters who were known for some cruelty. I liked Evel Dick. But I don't think he was AS cruel in the long run as Paul. Perhaps he was just more open about it. He didn't pretend to be oh-so-caring to those he disliked or wanted out. He didn't manipulate others into doing his cruelty. For example, Jen knew Dick didn't care for her. He made the dislike blatant. But Paul acts like he's a friend and confidant, then uses other people for the meanness. Now, the other people used are almost as much to blame as is Paul. Why aren't they playing their own game?
• Of course, with Paul winning veto, even if Christmas had a thought of her own in her head about backdooring him (which doesn't seem likely anyway), she can't do it.
• The biggest component of the after veto talks was Jason or Alex, the pros and cons of each.
• It sounds like Paul indeed will not be using the veto. They all seem to think that both Alex and Jason could be much more dangerous as they can win comps.
• So, it looks like the only player who hasn't fallen into the spider's web (Kevin) will be safe for at least this week.
• They've written him off as a possible comp winner even though Raven keeps harping on how much Kevin knows about the show and he's playing dumb.
• If Paul doesn't use the veto, he's going to have to shift the blame for not using it to someone else.
• He doesn't want to alienate jury votes.
• In other news, the hamsters had a preview of the new CBS show Me, Myself and I along with a guest appearance by its star.
• Now they're all starstruck.
• While Kevin sat around trying to figure out the premiere date versus the finale of BB, others went on about how nice the guest was compared to how Derrick treated them.
• Ahem. Bobby Moynihan is touting his new show. Derrick is a BB person. One needs to put on a positive front. The other sees the poison of this season on BB.
• In scuttlebutt that might not change anything -- Josh (of all people) is totally onto Paul. He's trying to convince Christmas but she isn't hearing any of it.
• Paul is still working his anti-Kevin agenda. But he's also talking a lot with Alex -- telling her she's going to be safe no matter what.
• Hmm.  

Mickey Mouse ear hairstyle is NOT cute

EBK -- Everybody But Kevin

So innocent ... looking, at least

The lack of clothing is annoying (to me)

Another veto notch for Paul

BB19: Live Feeds Friday into Saturday, Nominations - Sept. 1-2

Hey, gals! Look! Eligible bachelors!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Conspiracy Theories:

• No, I didn't post last night. I meant to. Really. But a nap on the couch turned into a night's rest.
• The nominations went down as I said they would. 
• Alex and Jason are nominated by Christmas.
• Like Matt and Raven before them, they've been told it's a backdoor Kevin plan.
• Hmm.
• The anti-Kevin talk throughout all of the others was prevalent. He smells. He picks his butt. He's annoying. And on and on.
• The Tree of Temptation lit up and, once again, no one took an apple. This was its third and final appearance. Only the first showing had Mark taking the chance. I think it can officially be deemed a flop.
• Christmas's real target is Jason.
• Not Kevin.
• She thinks Alex might even be a bit relieved if Jason goes -- she (Alex) won't have to carry the weight for Jason's actions.
• Of course, those actions mainly consist of being friends with Kevin.
• Both Alex and Jason seem to truly believe they're just pawns.
• Christmas told Raven that one or the other (Alex or Jason) will go this week.
• Poor Raven is pining. Her life is totally Mattless.
• Paul and Christmas are still trying to carry the ruse that they aren't working together.
• Meanwhile, Paul is working with Raven, mostly talking about Alex and Jason.
• She's totally buying what he's selling.
• Christmas is also taking Raven a bit under her wing.
• She's totally buying what Christmas is selling, too.
• Little does Raven know that the pecking order has her out at number five.
• It's Alex and Jason (whichever order can be done), then Raven ... leaving a final four of Christmas, Paul, Josh and Kevin.
• That's what they want.
• They have Kevin in there because they're sure he'll lose the comps at the end.
• In my wildest dreams, I have Kevin going on a winning streak and sweeping it all in the end.
• Alas, I think they just might be right. Kevin, albeit very entertaining and one of the few interesting things about this season, does seem to totally suck at comps.
• But Kevin isn't totally unobservant! After the nominations revealed Alex and Jason, Kevin tried to tell Jason that one of them would probably go. He (Kevin) is sure they're not just putting up two pawns -- one is a target.
• Now Jason is a bit worried.
• I'm thinking he's going to treat the veto as life or death.
• Now, if he (or Alex) wins it ... it will likely be Kevin put on the block.
• Will they keep with the idea that either Jason or Alex have to go this week? Or will Kevin be in real danger?
• Hmm.
• Paul tries to allay Jason's fears by saying he thinks that he (Paul) is going to get backdoored.
• Due to his "not working with" Christmas, he thinks that might be a plausible thought to placate Jason.
• Hmm.
• Alex, on the other hand, is a bit cocky and doesn't seem to be worried at all.
• Little does she know, but others have noticed how untouchable Alex thinks she is.
• She just might be touchable if Jason works to save himself.
• Paul and Christmas are getting a bit ahead of themselves thinking the noms will remain the same. The plan is that Christmas will take the heat if it's a tiebreaker and vote out Jason. Then Paul will take Alex under his wing because Christmas wants him out -- he'll convince Alex to throw the HoH to him.
• Oh my.
• Kevin apparently tried to eat a minute before midnight and got called to the Diary Room because of it.
• He then feasted down. Two weeks of being a Have Not have done him in.
• Is this season almost over?

Mean girls unite

Pretty relaxed for being on the block

If he doesn't win veto, he's a goner

Is his game afoot?

BB19: Live Feeds into Friday - September 1

Well, well, well ...

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Peer Pressure:

• If you read my late night bulletin, you know Christmas is the new HoH.
• Paul got them to all throw the comp to her.
• Now, of course, we know he's safe with her in HoH.
• But how can everyone be so complacent that they're not playing their own games?
• Kevin was reluctant to throw it. But then Paul told him that if he didn't, Paul himself would win and put Kevin on the block.
• If Kevin goes on the block, he could go home.
• I don't believe that Kevin is the target of Christmas/Paul/Josh this week.
• Raven talked about how great Matt is and how he was going to kick Cody's butt in jury for what Cody said about her.
• @@
• I can imagine Matt shrieking in a higher and higher voice until the windows break in the house.
• Heh.
• Paul reassured Kevin that Christmas will not be nominating him either in nominations or as a renom (backdoor).
• He wants Kevin to keep quiet and not draw suspicion.
• Christmas also told Kevin he can trust her.
• Gee, I trust her!
• Well, not really. But Kevin isn't the target this week. They want to get out people who can win comps. And, sorry to say as I like him so much ... Kevin, although he threw this comp, just hasn't shown he can win comps.
• But that's a good thing ... this week, anyway.
• Kevin pledged his loyalty to Christmas.
• Why am I reminded of Kevin, early in the season, quoting the lyrics to 'Sympathy for the Devil' to Josh?
• Now, that, of course, would be Paul.
• "Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name ..."
• I think her targets will be Alex or Jason. 
• We'll see how loyal she is to Kevin if one of them win veto.
• We'll just see.
• If she's smart, she could possibly backdoor Paul. I think things might be getting down to where they just might go for it.
• But, then again, they haven't been playing their own games this season.
• They've been playing Paul's game. 

Is this season over yet?

BB19: Live Feeds Bulletin - HoH Winner - August 31

Well, we know Josh and Paul are safe

Apparently the rain let up enough for them to do the HoH comp. The feeds were blocked for it. But when they returned, Christmas was wearing the HoH key. My early guess is that Alex or Jason will be the target.

JURY: 
Cody Nickson
Elena Davies
Mark Jansen 

Hamster watchers ready?  Let's have a recap!

Julie tells us promises made can blow up your game. (Y'think?) And, then we're into the recap. 

They promise us chaos (probably not to the extent we saw on the live feeds) and a jury segment. Julie mentions that they all have started to turn on each other. Well, that was sure to happen.

Raven tearfully tells us how loyal a game she has played. Mark continues to smile as he talks (and later will smile while yelling at Jason). He claims that Jason is hiding in the storage room. And, yes, he is.

Mark confronts Jason. Raven screams at him saying he lied. Jason denies he said he would take Raven off the block. (Yes, he did tell her that.) Alex thinks what Jason did is bad for her own game. (Yes, it is.) Both Kevin and Josh have moved in case of fisticuffs. Matt is off the wall mad ... although smiling. At least his tongue isn't sticking out.

Meanwhile, Paul works on reeling Raven into the fold. 

Matt decides to play spy and find out who voted for him to go last week. He asks Kevin first. Kevin said he voted Mark. Jason admits being one vote. Alex lies and said she voted Mark. I actually don't blame her because the wrath would then come her way. 

Kevin tells Matt alone that he didn't vote out Matt. Paul goes to run interference. Paul thinks Kevin is in cahoots with Matt for jury votes. Paul spreads his theory to the rest. And, like with all so far this season, they believe Paul.

Josh picks a stupid fight with Kevin. Josh brings up Kevin winning the 25 grand. Kevin says that Josh is being set up and Josh is just a little chump. Kevin knows the score. (But can he actually win anything?)

Now both Jason and Kevin are targets and Paul is gleeful to have set it in motion. 

Josh cries to Christmas. Christmas picks up on the fact Kevin wouldn't swear on his kids that he didn't take the money. Christmas knows, since Kevin did swear on them about the Matt vote. She draws the conclusion that Alex was the second vote and is "dangerous." 

Jury house segment. Elena and Cody have Paul's number. Mark not so much but he's getting there. 

Live vote. Julie tells us Matt has a penalty vote for not following Have Not rules.
Matt -- Thanks to CBS and BB, love all the HG, don't kill each other, Raven best human.
Raven -- Thanks BB, speaks of disease. Thanks to Matt. It will be different without you.

The votes to evict:
Alex -- Matt
Kevin -- Matt
Paul -- Matt
Christmas -- Matt
Josh -- Matt

Unanimous plus one for Matt to go. Raven cries more like it's news to her.

Yikes! They can't play the HoH comp right now due to rain conditions! 

Next Thursday will be a double eviction.

I don't think the HoH comp will play out on the live feeds. And, even if it does, I have to be up early in the morning to go to work. I'll let you know what I find out when I find out! 

Thanks for coming by!

BB19: Live Feeds into Thursday - August 31

C'mon, Kevin ... win HoH!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Inmate Ingrates:

• Keep telling yourself ... it's a show. It's not life or death or even someone whom you really know or love. It's a television show. They signed up to be in it. We know better than to ever apply to be on it.
• I'm so tired of all of the ire, media frenzy and outrage. It's just not worth it all. I put a lot of effort into things BB and have since the first season. Every year there are embellishments, outrage and such. This year is hitting a peak.
• You just can't let the show or its cast get to you. It's a television show.
• Okay, to what happened yesterday ...
• Um, not all that much.
• Jason told Kevin that if it comes down to between Alex and him (Kevin), he'd have to go with Alex.
• After all, she's his ride or die.
• Unless they keep winning, she will be the "die" part of that.
• Paul, Christmas and Josh plan on taking them out next.
• With the exception of Jason, pretty much everybody else is almost shunning Kevin.
• I would so love to see them scamper for his favor if he were to win HoH tonight.
• Kevin and Jason had a long talk -- Kevin wants to apologize to Alex. He claims he doesn't dislike her, just dislikes how she's treating him.
• I would think she (and the others) actually owe Kevin an apology.
• But I doubt that will happen.
• Unless he wins HoH, that is.
• Unfortunately, at this point, I'm not sure Kevin can even win any comps.
• Kevin is rotating between saying he wants to go home and he's not ready to leave yet.
• Hmm.
• Matt continues to break the rules. Now it's to the point that if everyone voted for Raven to go, Matt would probably go on penalties.
• They'll be voting him out anyway.
• Most of them have been studying days and comps in preparation for the HoH comp.
• They're not including Kevin in the study groups.
• If he's thinking on his own, he has no one to really correct him if he has something in the wrong order.
• Sigh.
• As the night wore on, Kevin did join in with small talk with Paul, Josh, Jason and Christmas. It was cordial. But no one talked game to him.
• Later on, Paul tried to convince Kevin to throw the HoH comp.
• Kevin told him he doesn't want to be a Have Not again.
• I guess we'll see tonight what happens. 

Trejo, whatever

Christmas ... bah, humbug!

I hope they don't fall out

Definitely falls for peer pressure

Symbolic of Final 3? No. 4 below?
