BB19: Live Feeds into Saturday Early Evening, PoV - July 22

Bunny Cam!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of a New Power of Veto Winner:

• I'm really liking the animals for adoption they're using when the feeds are blocked! Smart thinking on the part of someone.
• The veto players were picked this morning. In addition to Josh, Ramses and Jessica we have Christmas, Cody and Jason.
• Believe it or not, Cody did NOT win the PoV!
• Ha!
• A girl beat him.
• JESSICA holds the Power of Veto and is the HoH who made the nominations of Josh and Ramses.
• Is it a Backdoor Plan in motion?
• Surprisingly, it doesn't seem to be.
• Cody and Jessica talked about how Josh needs to go, dating back to the rumored peeping at the girls in the shower incident.
• Cody told Mark he's safe.
• Jessica says she's not going to change the nominations.
• Perhaps they're thinking this one through and realize that they might not have the votes to oust Paul.
• If I were in the house, I'd want to work to get Paul out. Cody screwed up by not working with people before.
• Of course, things can change between now and when the Veto Meeting goes down on Monday.
• We'll have to see. But it does look like we'll probably be bidding adieu to Man-Child Josh.

I just don't get indoor sunglasses

Oh my gosh. Is he guffawing?

Kevin isn't a target ... for now.

BB19: Live Feeds into Saturday - July 22

What am I doing in this handbasket?

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

• From my last brief update, you know: Jessica won HoH, Ramses and Josh are on the block.
• Blocked to the live feeds, Christmas played in the HoH comp and apparently actually did quite well.
• Not as well as Jessica, mind you.
• Paul might not be the backdoor plan -- it just might be Mark.
• Cody says he wasn't shown his goodbye messages but Alex and Christmas are concerned. 
• I doubt they showed them to the Sequestered Four as it would affect the game if they went back in.
• Paul held a Friendship Chat.
• Gah.
• They gathered and talked romance, love, dates, biggest fears, etc.
• Ramses hasn't found the one and doubts he ever will.
• Kevin told him he was still young.
• Yep, 21 is barely out of childhood.
• Even Cody and Jessica participated in the Chat.
• For a few moments, Cody had a personality. Then it went away again and he sat quietly staring.
• Later in the HoH room, Jessica told Cody they shouldn't isolate themselves this time around.
• Cody balked saying that he didn't want others to run his game.
• Hasn't he learned a lesson?
• Cody was telling Jessica about his mother referring to his father as "Daddy" and treating him like a child. He must have said, "I've killed people." at least three times. Is he proud of that? Hmm.
• Raven claims that she's a MENSA member. @@
• Josh and Jason were thrilled when midnight came along and they could chow down. Two weeks on slop is rough!
• A side note: I wish they'd bring back the old food comps they used to have where the entire house has to win the food for the week. It's better than slop and that was a comp they used to air on the live feeds! Are you hearing me, Allison Grodner? Food comps rock!
• Mark thinks that Jessica has made it clear that she wants Josh to go home this week.
• I didn't see her really indicate that. I know others want to keep him.
• The dude does have issues, but so does Mark.
• So there you go. It SOUNDS like Mark might be the replacement if one of the nominees comes off the block. It SOUNDS like Paul is getting along with Jessica and Cody.
• But I won't be making any wagers. 

Dancing for the camera

Mr. Personality is back

Ramses hasn't found love

BB19: Live Feeds - HoH and Nominations Blurb - July 22

Kitty Cam

This is going to be quite brief as I have to get up for work in the morning. Here's what's happening in the Big Brother House of Showmance Reunions:

• Jessica won the HoH.
• So, she and Cody have the room once again.
• Blech.
• Josh is on the block. According to what Paul told Jessica and Cody, he's in his room crying.
• Paul thanked Cody and Jessica for their honesty and commented it was like his HoH.
• Hmm. Backdoor plan?
• Everyone seems to be getting along fine.
• Ah, Ramses is the second nomination.
• Christmas is talking to Matt about keeping Josh and getting rid of Ramses.
• Of course, we know that she's been working Josh.
• Now, nothing will be certain until after the veto comp.

Backdoor plan?

Gag me now is back

Not taking his nomination well.

BB19: Battle Back Episode Blog Party - July 21

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! 

Who will make it back into the house? Cameron? Jillian? Cody? Or Dominique?

Three battles ahead of us. we're getting a brief recap of each of their exits.

Oh my ... they just said they have to win an "epic showdown" against someone in the house to return. We'll have to see how "epic" we think it is! 

Julie is wearing pants, but not jeans tonight.

No guarantee anyone is returning to the house (according to Julie). 

They are in Evictionville, must win three competitions. Top two advance, two go home. Next round, one goes home. Third comp, challenger from the house. The house will vote to send someone. If house challenger wins, all go home. 

Cameron has been studying the table maze in front of him as Julie talked. The others are looking at Julie. Hmm. 

Maze Race, rope and pulley system to move ball through the maze. 

Cody wins the first spot to move on! Yay! Cameron is going to the next round! He deserves a shot in the game. Dominique and Jillian are going home.

Second Battle - Billboard Bashers - catapult balls at the ten panels of their billboards. First one with all ten bashed wins. Cody wins. Cameron will be going home. Sigh. He really deserved to have more than 12 hours in the house. I didn't care for him, but he got screwed.

Cody gets to pick one of the two challenges they just did, but with changes, to compete against the house challenger. He picks Maze Race (with a different maze). Had he taken the tougher Basher challenge, the billboard would have been rotating. 

Julie gathers all the hamsters in the living room. She tells them it's the Battle Back Showdown and that the four haven't gone home. One has earned the opportunity. She tells them they'll find out in due time who it is. 

Jessica tries to tell an upset Mark that he's fine if Cody comes back. Paul isn't happy. Alex isn't happy, either. 

Julie calls them all together again. She tells them the twist -- they can stop the evicted houseguest from returning. Diary Room vote to elect House Challenger. She isn't telling them it will be up against Cody. After the vote, she'll tell them. They cannot vote for themselves.

Alex -- Paul
Elena - Paul
They're all voting Paul. 

Veteran against veteran, they say.

Heading to the backyard. Cody appears in a huge puff of smoke. 

Cody wins the Battle Back Showdown and he's back in the game.

Cody tells us he wants to take Paul out. 

Julie tells them the HoH comp will start soon.

Hamster watchers ready?

Yikes! Julie is so ... so ... casually dressed tonight! I don't believe I've ever seen her in jeans.

Let's have a recap! Not here, though. We know what happened during the last week. We had a snippet of the Mark/Josh pickle juice/hot sauce in the face kerfuffle. More to come!

The DoT could stop tonight's live eviction cold, Julie promises.

Dominique stomped out of the Veto meeting. Jessica thinks it just makes her own situation better. Dom thinks her entire team backstabbed her and they would do anything for the money ... but she won't.

Dominique vented at Elena and Elena just wants her out. Mark feels in the middle. Jessica is trying to get in with the others. They're leery, but want Dominique out more.

Yay! The pickle juice/hot sauce fiasco with Josh and Mark. Josh thinks he won the pool game. Mark said he double-hit, scratching on the 8-ball. So Mark throws a glass of pickle juice and hot sauce in Josh's face and eyes. Josh attacks him with salad dressing and ketchup, but not in the eyes. Yell, yell, scream, scream.

Josh yells that Mark tried to get Paul out. He claims he lost all respect for Mark. Everyone gathers. Josh says Mark was plotting against both Christmas and Paul. Josh says he himself has always been honest. Jessica brings up that Josh said he wanted Christmas out. Now Paul thinks Jessica is shady. 

The final Den of Temptation -- Halting Hex. JESSICA wins! She can halt any one of the next four evictions. She accepts the temptation.

Eviction night dies. She has to say the lines three times and there will be no eviction. The consequence seems to be sending the house into a tailspin ... or something like that.

Time for the live vote and eviction. To the living room ...

Jessica - Hi to family and Cody. Not ready to leave, have game left in me.
Dominique - Quotes her speech, own team betrayed me, grateful to CBS, on and on. 

Votes to evict --
Josh - Dominique
Kevin - Dominique
Mark - Dominique
Christmas - Dominique
Jason - Dominique
Raven - Dominique
Matt - Dominique
Elena - Dominique
Paul - Dominique 
Ramses - Dominique

Unanimous. Dominique is gone and Jessica has three more evictions in which she can choose to use the hex once. 

Surprisingly, she's very excited about the Battle Back. Hmm. 

Julie talks to the four first evicted who will be competing to come back in. 

It's getting too late to have the HoH Comp, so I'm guessing (since Julie hasn't announced it) that the four will compete in a combined HoH comp which will air tomorrow night. The feeds are off until midnight tomorrow. 

I'm wrong. Three battles for the Battle Back tomorrow, HoH Sunday. And, Jessica's temptation consequence will be revealed. Hmm.
