BB19: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - July 4

Spiffed mouse ears hair for the 4th

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Stars and Stripes:
  • As I get this typed up, the feeds are blocked and the hamsters are (probably) on an indoor lockdown.
  • Every 4th of July, CBS has big doings on its lot with amplified music and such. We get the shutdown. Hopefully they let the hamsters out to watch the fireworks while the feeds are Kitties!
  • Jason was the first one to wish America a Happy Birthday. I still can't get used to him without his hat on. He looks like an entirely different person!
  • BB apparently played patriotic songs for their wake-up music.
  • But not enough -- they wanted more.
  • I could sing for them. But that might make them all self-evict.
  • Kevin sang a song from 'Jersey Boys' until BB blocked that.
  • He sings better than I do.
  • Alex and Jillian talked about the votes to keep Jillian. They think they have Alex, Ranses, Kevin, Jessica, Jason and Josh.
  • Hmm. I'm not all that certain Josh, Jason or Kevin will go that way. Maybe.
  • Jason is getting irked about Dominque turning to the bible. Now, we know she's very into religion from various interviews and such. But the other hamsters don't know that. Jason thinks it's a new thing.
  • I personally don't know why a bible is always in the house.
  • I would suggest Cat Fancy magazines instead.
  • Alex, though "protected" by Cody, wants Jessica out.
  • Jessica would like Alex out.
  • And, so it goes on ...
  • Alex doesn't seem all that keen on Paul, but did share her Jessica thoughts with him. Paul thinks Jessica is a Mean Girl.
  • Cody gave Jessica a pep talk and props for rallying the troops and ensuring that Jillian will remain in the house.
  • Um.
  • Maybe.
  • I don't think so, though.
  • I could be wrong.
  • Josh Peeping Tom'd some of the girls in the shower. Not cool.
  • Christmas thinks the votes against her staying will be Ramses, Jessica, Alex and Jason. She just might lay a guilt trip on Jason for her injury.
  • Christmas is very worried about tomorrow's MRI. She doesn't want to get pulled from the game.
  • Christmas told Cody that she thinks he threw the PoV to Alex.
  • Paul is working on getting Jason to vote to keep Christmas.
  • Ohhh! Matt says he has information that could get Cody evicted. He didn't say what it is. But, for some reason, I believe him. Cody is a rather oddly evil kind of dude, methinks.
  • Jessica tried to convince Matt that to keep Christmas in is to hurt her (Jessica).
  • I think Matt has a mind of his own.
  • That's about it for now. At least tomorrow, we can judge whether Cody threw the PoV or not!

Yes, please

Who, me?

BB19: Live Feeds into Tuesday Morning - July 4

He wants everyone to just have fun

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Harried Hamsters:
  • Christmas has to go for her MRI tomorrow. There is no break as per x-rays, but there are torn/pulled ligaments. They just want to make sure there's not more damage. BB left her ice packs, ace bandages and Tylenol in the storage room. She said the hospital gave her stronger drugs. 
  • She insists she'll be fine in a couple of days.
  • Kevin too has to take a medical trip out tomorrow. He broke a tooth and, due to today's holiday, it can't be treated until Wednesday. He said they're going to pull it -- obviously not a front tooth! BB gave him Anbesol. (sp?)
  • New this year: The BB voice announced that the houseguests must be awake from 9am to 10pm.
  • Good. They can't just nap the day away.
  • Alex, Ramses and Jason talked about Paul's gameplay, wondering exactly what he's up to.
  • But, then again, Alex isn't sure what Ramses is up to, either.
  • To me, just observing, I'm not sure Ramses knows what Ramses is up to. He's trying to mingle all over and basically stay below the radar it seems.
  • Jessica and Cody still think they have enough votes to vote out Christmas. Jessica thinks Kevin will vote to keep her because of her injury.
  • Jason is on board with voting out Jillian. At least that's what he told Paul.
  • Interesting ... Jessica said she failed the initial drug test to get on the show. I would guess prescription drugs maybe -- we know that for the last several seasons, we've had a ton of young hamsters on daily meds.
  • They were also all tested for STDs. With the way some jump right into beds, that's a good thing. And, yeah, there are always condoms in the storage room.
  • Christmas likened Cody's game to psychological warfare in a talk with Elena.
  • She has his number.
  • Jessica really wants Christmas out -- maybe some of it due to Christmas telling her she's guilty by association for Cody putting her on the block.
  • Mark, one of the few who actually kind of sort of seems loyal to his buddy Cody, is drifting away. Dominique told him he needs to distance himself.
  • Then, later in the evening, Mark broke down totally, crying to Christmas.
  • Mark, most likely a nice guy at heart, says he's not having fun in the house now.
  • Well, put on those big boy pants, Mark! You went into a house known for deceit and backstabbing! 
  • While Christmas and Mark talked, both shed some tears.
  • Mark says he needs to separate his gameplay and friendship with Cody. That's not the person he is, he says.
  • He says at heart he's a Momma's boy and too emotional. He told Christmas that choosing between supporting two friends, he chose the wrong one (Cody) and apologizes. 
  • Yet Jessica and Cody still think they have the majority vote.
  • Oh my.
  • Elena and Matt find it odd that Mark cried to Christmas when he wanted to vote her out yesterday.
  • Hmm.
  • No one really trusts anyone.
  • As it should be in the BB House of Madness. 

She insists she's fine

Talking about Cody and Jessica

Tears of friendship

BB19: There's Been an Accident Bulletin - UPDATED


Christmas was riding on Jason's back when she fell. She's pretty certain she broke her foot. It took a while for the medic/nurses to attend to her -- apparently one "didn't want to be on camera."

She was taken away to the hospital. So far there is no definite word whether it's an actual break and/or whether she might return. But it doesn't look good. It's been nearly five hours.

In other news while I'm here  -- Ramses revealed his "curse" (from Paul's bottle pick in the Den of Temptation) is that he has to make himself a third nominee in the next(?) nominations.

UPDATE: Christmas has returned to the house with a cast on her foot. She has torn tendons (?) and has to go for an MRI on Wednesday. While she still might be pulled from the game, she's back for now.

BB19: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - July 3

Kevin tells stories to the crowd

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bamboozlement:
  • If you're not up to snuff -- Alex took herself off the block. Cody, after supposedly "working with" Paul and Christmas, tried to put Paul up. Paul brought out his Pendant of Protection. So, Cody put Christmas on the block after he previously told her he'd be loyal and they'd make it to jury.
  • Fireworks before the 4th ensued!
  • A shot rang out!
  • The maid screamed!
  • Er. Ahem.
  • It's not looking too good for Jillian right now.
  • Even Cody's "people" were blindsided by his choice.
  • Even his best buddy Mark, talked with Christmas and is willing to work with her.
  • Cody's bunch thinks it makes them ALL look bad like they were in on the decision.
  • And, they weren't.
  • It definitely looks like most of Cody's group will defect and vote Jillian out.
  • Jessica remains loyal-ish to Cody. Even she was upset about being totally blindsided and Cody telling Paul that "many" people said he was causing issues.
  • Alex still wants to split up the couples.
  • Josh has calmed down. His loyalty will also be to Christmas because she consoled him when he was down.
  • Kevin is still the entertainment in the house -- he's no threat to any of them in physical comps. But, if he makes it to the end game, he just might win socially.
  • Cody's "people" Matt and Raven have already committed their vote to keep Christmas.
  • The Christmas people want to make sure they have the votes. They don't want a tie because Cody would vote out Christmas.
  • Cody thinks he still has the majority of the votes backing his decision.
  • I guess we'll see. 

I'm either the best or worst BB player

I love to snag bad screen shots

Has calmed down a lot

BB19: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - July 2

Paul is livid

It's time we got some kerfuffles and brouhahas going in the BB19 house! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Turmoil and Tension:
  • All was going rather peachy keen until today's Veto Ceremony.
  • Then all heck broke loose.
  • Of course, the ceremony itself was blocked to the live feeds.
  • But we saw the aftermath.
  • Alex saved herself. We knew she would.
  • True to what he's said in DR sessions on the show, Cody tried to backdoor Paul.
  • Heh. I don't care that much for Paul and I personally would have preferred all newbies this season.
  • But Cody creeps me out and it's good to see some comeuppance.
  • Paul revealed his taking of the Temptation - the Pendant of Protection. So, now all know he has three weeks of safety.
  • Instead of putting Jason up like there were hints, Cody put Christmas on the block with Jillian.
  • Totally unexpected by all.
  • After all, we know Cody told NO ONE who he would nominate.
  • In the verbal brouhahas that ensued, Cody tried to back out and tell Paul that "many" people brought him (Paul) up as a source of turmoil in the house.
  • Paul ranted on and on that this was the same thing that happened last season -- people he thought he could trust, he couldn't.
  • Meanwhile, Christmas was ready for blood!
  • I swear, if there had been fisticuffs at that time between Christmas and Cody, my money would have been on Christmas for the win.
  • Even Jessica feels blindsided by Cody's actions.
  • It turns out that several of the hamsters actually like Paul and want him in the game. Christmas is close to Paul, so they plan to support her.
  • They also realize that Alex seems to be being protected by Cody and many believe he threw the PoV comp to her.
  • Matt seems to be stuck in the middle. He won't say anything bad about Cody because of their friendship. But he seems to be being drawn by Elena and Raven to support Christmas.
  • Cody wants Christmas out over Jillian. He got Mark and Jason to agree with him.
  • But that's subject to change.
  • It's looking like Christmas has more people wanting her to stay than Jillian.
  • It's definitely a house divided though.
  • And Cody Creepy Eyes better watch his back. He's put a huge target on t and I don't think his friends will stay on the sinking ship. 

Christmas is livid

Cody is pacing like a pent-up animal

Bystanders are dazed and confused
