BB19: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - July 9

The man with the bling ... this week

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

• If you missed my brief update yesterday -- Paul won PoV. 
• Mark and Elena were picked to play in the random pick.
• Jason hosted.
• Paul had told Ramses to throw the comp, not to worry because there was a backdoor plan for Cody and he (Ramses) would be safe.
• Of course, the comp was blocked to the live feeds for hours and hours.
• And hours.
• Apparently Ramses either almost won or definitely did not throw the comp as there was a kerfuffle after the feeds return.
• The Paul group already didn't trust Ramses.
• Now, even more so.
• As the Paul group gathered talking about Ramses in the comp, who knocks and comes in?
• Ramses. He was there to tell them it looked sketchy, but he really wasn't trying to win.
• Nope, they were nice enough to him, but they're not buying it.
• Cody knows he's a dead frog hopping.
• So, Jessica can sink or swim. She's trying to swim, having a long talk with Paul.
• Paul, no matter what folks may think of him, can be very concerned and caring (seemingly) in a talk like that.
• The comp had them going through airport security, five terminals, answer question, get delayed or right, red door or green pathway for answers, the delays were puzzle math things, punch and kick through, etc. Another delay was eating nasty stuff like liver pate and escargot while a fat sweaty man sat almost on top of you, and an icy dive.
• Thank you, Paul, for explaining the comp to Jessica as the other talks about the comp were all bits of excited bits and pieces!
• See, sometimes Paul's loquaciousness comes in handy!
• Kevin and Alex want to work together -- let the power players pick each other off.
• Alex is now trusted by the Elena, Paul and Mark crowd.
• For now, anyway.
• Alex is willing to remain on the block against Cody.
• Kevin remains the house entertainment.
• I personally doubt he'll win it all, but the dude should get a special monetary award for being the feeds entertainment hit of the season. 

Oh, go get a room!

Talks to Paul

Kevin, casting brilliance in motion

BB19: Finally, the PoV is Over - July 8

Gah! The live feeds have been blocked for the majority of time the hamsters have been awake today.

It sounds like quite the Power of Veto Comp went down.

Neither Cody nor Jessica were picked to play this morning. And, Jason hosted.

Paul won.

BB19: Live Feeds into Friday Evening, Nominations - UPDATED - July 7

Sure to be a laugh riot at parties!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of a Kitty Kam Kinda Day:

• Yes, there was more Kitty Cam than hamster action shown in the house today.
• The first really really long blockage was the Den of Temptation. 
• It had to do with voodoo dolls.
• Apparently three people will be affected by the curse consequence.
• The hamsters talked about that being the three wouldn't be allowed to vote.
• But it seems that that idea was just something they thought could happen.
• They don't really know.
• And, of course, they are not allowed to talk about production.
• In between the DoT feeds blockage and the nominations feeds blockage, Paul continued to work his plan.
• What plan is that?
• Why, he wants Cody out.
• What to do? What to do?
• Well, put TWO pawns up there. If Cody happens to get picked to play PoV and wins, then Jessica could go up.
• But, then again, if he puts the right pawns up and Cody doesn't play, someone like Alex could win PoV and Cody goes up.
• No one really wants to be put up as a pawn.
• But Alex is seemingly more on board with Paul than with Cody even though she's definitely playing her own game.
• Paul told Ramses this might be the best time for him to use his curse -- up on the block as a third nominee -- as the plan is to backdoor Cody.
• Christmas told Jason that she thinks Ramses is a "superfan." 
• Well, yeah. He thinks he is. But some of us have followed the show and the live feeds since BB1. These kids don't KNOW superfan.
• Alex told Cody that people helped Paul win HoH because no one else wanted to look him in the eye and take him out.
• So, in effect, she told him everyone wants him out. Heh.
• Ohh ... Christmas got the Temptation. She can switch out with another hamster -- Cody, Jessica or Ramses -- in a PoV comp.
• Actually, that falls right into Paul's scheme.
• The nominations went down ... Alex and Josh.
• Paul told Ramses to put himself in as the third, throw the veto comp and he'll be safe.
• And the beat goes on ... 

Must be bright in the house

Checkmate?

UPDATE: THE CURSES FOR THE THREE ARE IN!

Jason, Cody and Jessica are FROGS. They must hop around and have lily pad safety spots and all. Heh. Jason is loving it. Jessican, not as much. Cody is complying. But that's about it.

BB19: Live Feeds Overnight into Friday - July 7

The Happy Couple

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of No Nose-to-Nose:

• I would guess it was due to Cody's body language -- glowering, arms crossed, looking like he wanted to kill -- throughout the HoH comp last night, we heard the first warning ever (that I've seen) not to get into each other's faces or fight from BB.
• The edit and/or music they do for his expressions should be interesting Sunday night. If you ever want an image of hate, he was it.
• As you know if you read my HoH comp update post, Paul is the new HoH.
• Now, I'm not a big Paul fan -- I find him annoying, overbearing and extremely self-important on the live feeds. But, to give him credit, he's not a mean guy and if the current hamsters are falling for his shtick, all the more power to him.
• He's also in a good spot, winning HoH, he will be protected next week when he can't play HoH (due to his last week of the Pendant of Protection).
• Cody, on the other hand, I find rather scary. He told Jessica he's not like this outside the house, but I would still steer clear of the dude. He's a sore loser. He seems full of hate. He tries to stare through people. He definitely jumped into the game full-force much too quickly. That I could forgive him for, but the glowering, posturing and such really turn me off. Plus, his Ferguson comments (going there during the riots to see if he'd live) and another comment about trans-folks are disturbing. 
• So, if I had the druthers between the two, I'd rather Paul than Cody. 
• Not that I want Paul to win, mind you. (Even though I have him in the blog pool now.) I honestly believe that the current hamsters won't let the "friendship" go that far.
• Oh ... Jessica? Yeah, she's pretty. And, pretty mean, too. I do feel sorry for her a bit in that I know Cody never told her what he would do with noms. But, then again, she chose him and she has chosen to stick with him. Whose fault is that?
• After the comp last night, Jessica and Cody pretty much exiled themselves from the rest of the house, sulking, hating and feeling so sorry for themselves.
• At one point, Mark and Elena were concerned that Jessica would self-evict.
• Cody is sure he's going home.
• There is a big kerfuffle over who flipped.
• Kevin says he voted for Jillian to stay. That's his story and he's sticking to it.
• Thus, the suspicion goes to Josh or Ramses.
• Ramses called Kevin out as the flip and found out that the others believe Kevin over him.
• Kerfuffle ensued and now Ramses himself has a bigger target on his back.
• Paul knows Kevin flipped and advised him, since he has already denied it, stick with the story and he (Paul) won't tell anyone.
• Lots of discussion about who will be put on the block -- by both Cody/Jessica and Paul's group.
• Everyone on Paul's side want Cody out.
• But the consensus seems to be that Cody cannot have the opportunity to play PoV and save himself.
• Put two of "theirs" up? Josh, Jessica, Jason?
• Put up a pawn from Paul's side?
• Mark made it clear that he NEVER wants to go up as a pawn.
• Jessica thinks the others will want her to stay in the game without Cody just to make her miserable.
• Lots of Jessica tears.
• Lots of Cody stares into nowhere.
• Alex told the cameras that Josh is a disgrace to his family and a crybaby.
• Oh my.
• The doctor told Christmas it will take a good six months for her foot to totally heal. I personally say a lifetime. I broke my foot when I was 19 and some days it still hurts now decades later. She'll probably get a decent paycheck from CBS no matter how long she stays in the house even though it was due to tomfoolery.
• I've always said tomfoolery could poke someone's eye out. It can also break a foot.
• Alex told others about the curse Ramses has -- so they know he has to put himself up on the block before long.
• Jessica yelled at Josh, throwing him into another crying jag.
• Kevin told Josh not to fight anyone since that would get him kicked out.
• Kevin also told him that he will be loyal to Josh and Jason from now on.
• Hmm.
• Jessica didn't show up for the beginning of Paul's HoH reveal. Cody was there, throwing daggers with his eyes. Once Jessica showed up, they both re-exiled themselves from the rest of the house.
• Paul says that his end goal (after veto) is to have Cody and Raven on the block. He thinks Raven would be totally safe and Cody would go home.
• Of course, getting there is the problem.
• Mark thinks he should put up Jason and Alex.
• Hmm.
• We won't know until later tonight.
• And, then we won't know until after the veto.
• In the meantime, hamsters, don't save your drama for yo' mama -- let it all out. It makes for more interesting live feeds! 

"I voted to keep Jillian" - HA!

Whistle-Nut

I don't want to be a pawn ... ever

Definitely here to play the game

BB19: HoH Comp Updates --July 6

Once the live feeds return, this post will be updated with screen shots and comments!

10:07pm ET - Feeds still on Kitty Kam (blocked)
10:12pm ET - Still blocked. 
10:17pm ET - Still blocked. 

10:22pm ET - Feeds return briefly, then go all kitty on us again. The hamsters are still scrambling for candy/tickets. 

10:22pm ET

Heh. Cody looks miserable. He told Jessica to go for the top chute.

 Christmas is dragging herself through this! She and some of the others are giving Paul their tickets, apparently thinking he has a better chance at the comp. Cody's body language says it all -- he's only unfolding his arms long enough to take tickets.

PAUL wins HOH! -- 10:39pm ET

Hmm, it's into a live Jeff interview with Jillian. "No way would Kevin betray me." Bwahahaha!
