BB19: Live Feeds Overnight into Saturday - July 1

No changes at the pool/hot tub

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hungry Hamsters:

• Heh. Apparently (blocked to the live feeds), Kevin was a mermaid host for the PoV comp. 
• I was wondering the thinking behind putting him in this cast, but now I definitely get it. His kids got him to apply. He doesn't know the show. He's old enough to be the father of his fellow hamsters. The guy IS funny. Plus, in a way, he's a breath of fresh air being so unfamiliar with the show and actually admitting it. We've seen so many recruits come in oblivious and pretend they're experts. I am entertained by him. He's very different from what we see most seasons.
• Just to bring you up to snuff if you've been living under a BB fake rock -- Megan and Jillian were the nominees. Megan exited the house on her own volition. Alex was put on the block in her place. Alex won PoV. Jessica and Cody are the first showmance of the season.
• Although she'll be safe this week with the PoV, Jessica and Raven want to target Alex next. They think she's too good at comps and also believe that Cody has a soft spot or wants to protect her.
• Christmas also doesn't care for Alex -- she thinks Alex is too aggressive with everyone in the house.
• Now, I myself am surprised by Alex. I had the impression of "bimbo" in her Jeff interview and she's turning into anything but a bimbo. She's truly a competitor. I like that. But, of course, if I were a house hamster, I'd think of her as a threat to my game.
• Meanwhile, Cody told Mark that his loyalty to Alex is just a ploy to show the others that he can be loyal to anyone.
• Um. Okay. 
• We know Josh is weird, but so is Cody.
• Just a different kind of weird.
• Cody's bro-alliance doesn't seem like they're going to stay all that loyal to him.
• He seems to have a fixation with his combat days in the service. Hmm.
• Jason knows he's being considered for the replacement nom.
• Even those closest to Cody aren't sure what he's going to do. He's very tight-lipped.
• Cody is odd. He told a story about going to Ferguson during the riots "just to see if I would survive." Say what? 
• Plus, he sits there like a robot half the time. He creeps me out more and more.
• A staring robot.
• A lot of them are sporting bruises, pains and scrapes from the veto comp.
• They all went to bed early last night.
• While I haven't heard the exact words from his mouth -- I had to skip all around the flashbacks to catch up on the feeds -- I do think Paul has the three weeks of safety. Someone was talking about it, but didn't exactly come out and say "Paul." but that seemed the case in context.
• More later! 

If I go, do I get paid for two weeks?

BB19: Live Feeds, PoV, through Friday Afternoon - June 30

This is so cool!

Instead of showing fish cam or Jeff interviews while the live feeds were blocked for the PoV comp, we got KITTIES! I'd rather watch them frolic any day than endless loops of Jeff interviews!

Tonight's live feeds report is going to be rather short, perhaps not too sweet (their fault, not mine). I'm coming off a hectic horrible chaotic day of work and my mind is a bit frazzled. I hope that excuse also covers any typos I might make!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wanton Wombats:

• First off, not live feeds per se, this article is Megan talking to local reporters in her hometown about why she left the show. 
• Lots of drama going on.
• Alex won the PoV.
• They're still trying to figure out who took the money and started the Paul/Cameron swap.
• Alex will definitely take herself off the block.
• Cody had said he wanted to backdoor Paul if one comes down.
• Um.
• If Paul gets chosen (rumor is he was, but I didn't see actual confirmation) for the Pendant of Safety, that can't happen.
• Everyone seems to want someone else up there.
• The girls are getting catty about each other.
• Jason's name has been thrown in the mix for nomination.
• I just don't know.
• Cody is kind of creeping me out. He sits and stares whenever in with others. Well, except for kissy-facing Jessica. He probably stares at her and the camera angle just can't catch it.
• I do know I'll be more awake and coherent in my next report.

Too early for this!

Drama, drama

Ghost of Audrey?

Turning into a little spitfire!

BB19: Live Feeds into Friday - June 30, 2017

Social circles

You know, it would be nice to see what happens on the first few days in the house. By the time the live feeds come on, they've usually been in there for a week or more -- we miss initial fights, bondings, etc. Grr! It's hard to butt in there and try to figure where everyone stands with whom. Oh, well. Here's what I garnered from the late night live feeds ...

• Megan SELF-EVICTED!
• You heard me. She's gone. Her photo is greyed-out on the wall and all -- like they do upon eviction. Since they haven't played for PoV yet, there has been no eviction.
• But, she's gone.
• In her place on the block is Alex. 
• In other news, Jessica and Cody are all kissy-face already. It's going to be a long summer. Sigh.
• They're all still trying to figure out who took the 25 grand.
• Josh remains unbalanced. For someone who talked all so tough, he's like a small child at summer camp away from his family and homesick.
• He;s driving everyone away, thinks he's being targeted as a man and a person, but loves them all.
• Oh my, boy has issues!
• Aha, they are on the 9th day in the house -- we've missed so much!
• Wah.
• Paul is mingling well.
• Well, not with Cody, per se. He still will be backdoored if Alex or Jillian come off the block with the PoV.
• They already have Have Nots -- Josh is one of them, heh.
• I know. I have a cruel streak in me.
• Dominique had a heated argument with Josh (because he's so annoying).
• Poor picked on Joshie.
• Hmm. Part of the Megan bit came about apparently because Megan told Alex that Jessica said a racial slur about her, but it wasn't true. They think Megan made it up to stir the pot.
• Of course, we don't really know because the live feeds weren't live!
• Alex thinks Christmas urged Cody to put her up.
• We're not seeing much of Cody. He's too busy throwing himself into a showmance.
• Kevin can't understand why some people just have the goal of making it to jury. Hey, I'm with him on that one!
• That's all for now ... laters! 

Everybody hates me, but I love you all

Doesn't know BB, but plays the game

Paul is working the social game

New fish cam is weird

Big Brother 19: First HoH Comp Show Blog Party

Julie Chen promised us tonight will be the first HoH comp show. She didn't mention eviction, so that should be on the slate for next Thursday. As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be live blogging and updating this entry with the major events. Refresh the page to get the latest! It  will be sort of a "the best I can" attempt as it takes me a bit to get the names down in the beginning of the season. The real party is in the comments area -- I hope to see you there!

The live feeds won't come on until 1am here on the East Coast after tonight's show finishes up on the West Coast. I have to get up early for work tomorrow. I'll try to have something for you, but I don't know what or how much right now! Once the feeds are constantly on, I' plan on posting two live feeds reports daily. That 1am is a killer for the first live feeds on the East Coast, though!

Here are the blog pool match-ups for easy reference tonight -- Those who had Cameron have swapped and now have Paul.

Hamster watchers ready? 

We must endure a recap of last night ... 

Paul tells us that Christmas should have been the target -- she's the biggest threat. He's right, of course. But, personally, I think I'd rather spend the summer watching her instead of Cameron. I found Cameron annoying. He was too cocky. 

The girls are already thinking that the guys have an alliance. While I saw no actual alliance last night, it was mainly the guys voting to oust Jillian, the women went for Cameron. Josh and Jason went for Christmas.

Megan, Alex, Ramses and Jillian are the only outright alliance I've seen. They're scheming as I type. They want to target Josh, Paul and Mark. 

Oh, geez. Tough talking Josh is crying. Who comforts him? Christmas! He tells us that he made a mistake voting for her last night and she has a big heart. He thinks he can work with her. She thinks he needs to toughen up or he won't last. But she doesn't tell him that.

The doorbell rings. NICOLE walks into the house! Kevin has to be told who she is, of course. Paul isn't too happy.

She's not there to stay. She's there to host the first HoH comp of the summer. She has to read off the rules. Teams of four -- two men/two women per team. 

Gah -- I have to catch up with the teams! Garden of Temptation, rotten apples, one team member must retrieve one apple, two per person total. First two teams advance, other two eliminated. Golden apple -- safe for the week, with a consequence the rest of the team eliminated from playing for HoH. 

Kevin has to throw HoH. 

Josh took the golden apple! Jillian is ticked. Kevin is probably relieved because he didn't have to really throw it. Josh blew up at them saying he knows he's a target. Josh screamed at Megan, blaming her.

Ramses feels responsible for his team's loss.

The final leg has them using two of each team, the others could still be up.

Balancing apples on tree.

Paul is against Cody right now. It's kind of like the comp where they had to balance stuffed animals on trees.

CODY wins the first HoH comp! We know that he's really irked at Josh for being "selfish" in the beginning of the game and he wants Paul gone. Will Paul be a nominee? It's hard to tell. Hmm. Josh has safety.

Cody tells us he wants to draw lines in the sand and divide the house. Oh my. 

Josh once again tells Megan she's disgusting. He once again accuses her of rallying against him. This dude has issues. Maybe even a subscription. If anything, he's going to make others want to protect her. 

Paul makes chaps and "bullrides" Jason to lighten the mood. Cody is not impressed -- he wants Paul out. 

Mark, Matt and Cody start an alliance. 

Good ... Josh is really truly apologizing to Megan. The dude is whacked. He claims it's the first time he's been away from his family and blah-blah-blah. 

Christmas, Raven, Domnique and Elean have attracted Cody's interest as "babes" he could work with. He thinks Jessica is great, but distracts him.

Cody tells Mark that they can't trust Paul and he needs to be backdoored. Mark trusts Paul, but it's Cody's call. Cody thinks others are "outsiders" in the house.

Nominations ceremony time --
Jillian and Megan.
He says that he doesn't like Megan much and Jillian aligns with Megan too much.

He, of course, is still thinking of backdooring Paul if he can. 

I'll try to have a little something on the feeds in the morning, but I can't promise much. I will have a full report tomorrow evening!

Hamster watchers ready? 

Julie promises us the most tempting season of Big Brother and lets us know there will be three tempting offers -- 25 grand, fan favorite back in game, one might go home. Oy. I don't want a returning hamster!

Then we're into the key receiving introductions. I will not be posting play by play with that. Christmas starts off.We meet half of them first. Julie hints at temptations. Alex, Mark, Ramses and Elena enter first. Alex is liking it to a Garden of Eden already and thinks Mark is a hottie.

Jason, Dominque, Kevin and Christmas enter next.

Now we're meeting the second half of the hamsters.Matt, Raven, Jillian and Cameron move in next. Finally, Cody ... Jessica, Josh and Megan enter.

Once all gathered, it's introductions and champagne to start things off. Dominique lies and tells them she's a motivational speaker, not an engineer.

The editing is definitely pushing showmance potential stuff. 

Julie tells us that before the night is up, the hamsters will be tempted by money, safety and power ... but each will come with a consequence. 

Julie calls them all to the living room. She tells them of the summer's big twist. Says it's the biggest, wildest, most tempting of the game. It starts right now. She tells them they'll be tempted by money, safety and power. 

First temptation -- 
Head outside. BB's Garden of Temptation. They must each pick a (huge) pod. Who could use 25 grand? First person to push their button when a light in front of them turns green wins. The first twist of the summer will release. It will be anonymous. Kevin did it. The first twist has two consequences, one personal and the other for the entire house. Kevin can't win the first HoH. The second will be revealed in "due time." 

Oh, geez. A former houseguest "fan favorite" will be entering as the 17th houseguest. I DID NOT WANT A RETURNING HAMSTER! 

Lots of speculation over who did it. And, ack, it's Paul from BB18 (as per the rumors). Kevin has no clue who he is. @@

Julie calls them again to the living room. Paul is not moving in simply to play the game -- he's taking the place of one of the hamsters. One will be evicted tonight.

Second temptation -- Safety. If one wants to stay in the game, one must tempt Paul. Paul retrieves a box. Inside are nine friendship bracelets. He is to have one, hand out eight to others. Those eight will be safe. 

They all get a few moments with him. Very odd.

Julie calls them to the living room once again. Paul tells us he wants to keep a mix in the house. Paul saves Kevin first. Then Raven, Dominque, Mark, Jason, Jessica, Ramses and Elena.

Josh thinks by not being selected, Paul likes him. 

The eight without bracelets will go to the backyard to compete for safety. 

The comp is called Tempted by the Fruit. Three will remain on the chopping block at the end of the comp, one will be voted out. They have to stand on a trapeze. If they fall off, they must eat an apple. Four are "good" apples giving safety, four are "poison." The longer they stay on the trapeze, the more clues they get for finding the good apples. 

Jillian(?) falls first, takes an apple from a red snake (more likely to be good). Megan goes out next, picks an apple. Josh jumps and thinks he picked a good apple. He thinks he's smarter than all. Cameron is down, forgets the clues and just goes for an apple. Christmas deliberately goes down, picks an apple.  

Three houseguests left, two apples. Cody, Matt and Alex remain. Matt goes down. Alex is down. Cody wins safety! 

Poison apples: Christmas, Cameron, Jillian 

Julie reveals the final temptation of the night. Power. Will only offer it to the three on the block. They get to choose how they want their fate determined. They can have the house vote or they can fight for safety in an eviction comp. They vote for it.

Jillian -- Vote, doesn't think she can beat Christmas
Cameron -- Compete
Christmas -- Vote (to see where she stands)

Eviction vote wins, 2 to 1. They get some time to campaign for safety.

Paul can only vote in the event of a tie since he'll be taking the evicted's place.

They're not showing the votes! Wah!

Julie tells them the votes are in. Christmas, 2 votes, safe. 8-3, Cameron is evicted.

There goes my pool boy! He was too cocky, methinks.

By the way, the blog pool people who had Cameron will now have Paul. I can't win for losing, eh? 

Tomorrow night is the first HoH comp, Sunday is the Den of Temptation -- the Pendant of Protection, protects holder through the next three evictions. We get to vote. Of course, there will be a consequence. 

Ah, the guys are the ones who voted to evict the girls. The girls went after Cameron.
