BB19: Live Feeds into Sunday - July 23

Attack of the Baby Powder

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Showmance Mania:

• Alex definitely had a point. Too many showmances going on in the house. They really need splitting up!
• Too bad all of the power this week is in the hands of Jessica (and Cody).
• Raven tried talking Matt (her showmance buddy) into flipping the vote to oust Ramses instead of Josh.
• Matt wants to go with the group vote and not make waves.
• I find it a bit peculiar that it was Raven who spread the rumors about Josh peeping at girls in the shower, now wants to rock the boat and keep him in the house?
• Meanwhile, we know that Christmas has been molding and bonding with Josh for her own (nefarious?) purpose since a few days after the live feeds. She thinks he's someone who might be able to work for her? Hmm.
• Plus, when Cody was gone and the Josh/Mark incident occurred, the talk of the main core of hamsters was that they wanted to keep Josh over Mark. They all seem to think that, while Josh is so emotional and immature, they can USE him. Mark, also emotional and immature, is more of a threat to their own games.
• But they can't change the nominations because Jessica is both HoH and Veto winner.
• She and Cody are vehement about getting Josh out this week.
• Hmm.
• And, not only that, but Cody and Mark made nicey-nice and are buds once again.
• There is no indication that Paul will go up as a renom at all. He, Jessica and Cody are at least quasi-working together.
• Paul wants Ramses out over Josh, too.
• That dates back to him thinking Ramses is "sketchy." And, without a doubt, the veto that Ramses was supposed to throw and almost won.
• BB did a rarity for this season and gave the hamsters alcohol.
• Christmas tried to have some but was reprimanded by the BB voice.
• The HoH has routinely been given some alcohol in their basket of goodies. But BB seems to have been holding back on giving enough for the house.
• In other news, during a talk in the HoH room with Cody, Jessica, Elena, Mark and Kevin -- they were talking about some diner in Boston that both Kevin and Jessica know. Kevin said something about going there to collect money and pay out money. After he left the room, Jessica once again mentioned how Kevin must be a gangster. 
• Hey, if they think he's Mafia, they can all back down and let him win this season! He's one of the few perks of the house this summer.
• Ew. Also in the HoH room, Elena did an almost pornographic draining of all the beer bottles in the room. What is wrong with that woman?
• In fun and frivolity notes -- Matt dumped Raven from the hammock and attacked her with baby powder. Paul scared Jason and now people are comparing Jason to a fainting goat. Christmas makes beeping noises when she backs up on her scooter. 
• And, that's what's been happening.
• It will be interesting if the house flips and votes out Ramses instead of Josh. If I were IN the house, I'd want to talk it over with Jessica and Cody so they're not blindsided.
• But, then again, if they're blindsided, it might make the live feeds more interesting.
• I don't care who ultimately wins. I just want to be entertained until the end of the season. And, you know me -- I'm always on board for a kerfuffle or a brouhaha! 

Can't imbibe due to pain meds.

Raven wants Ramses gone this week.

Cody is in love. Jessica? Hmm.

Through the fish tank

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.
