BB19: Live Feeds Power of Veto Bulletin - July 29



After several hours of blocked live feeds, the storm reporter Power of Veto comp is over.

Paul won the PoV.


BB19: Live Feeds into Saturday Dawn, Brouhaha Afoot - July 29

Late night studying.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hotheaded Hamsters:
  • Oh my.
  • Paul, not quite believing that Jessica has some power to save both her and Cody for a few weeks, put both Jessica and Cody on the block.
  • They're on the block with Jason, the third nominee who lost the Temptation Challenge.
  • Mark won that challenge, so he can't be nominated this week.
  • Paul says if both Jessica and Cody are indeed safe, no harm no foul. He has back-up nominees and, in his worst case scenario -- Josh might go home.
  • But, of course, Paul thinks it's some kind of safety and doesn't realize that his entire HoH might go moot if Jessica uses the Halting Hex.
  • Paul told Jessica time and time again that she's safe. She's only in the mix because of Cody.
  • Cody (and Jessica) confronted Paul about the nominations.
  • Eep.
  • I thought there would be fisticuffs!
  • Not on either Paul or Jessica's part, mind you.
  • But Cody's rage was almost to that point.
  • He seemed to make himself bigger -- like you're supposed to do if you come upon a bear.
  • Seeing as Cody's only bigger than Paul as far as men go in the house, it wasn't really needed.
  • He got in Paul's face almost egging Paul to hit him.
  • Paul told him to leave the room.
  • "What are you going to do about it?!?!" -- Cody.
  • Paul called him emotional and just held his ground, telling Cody to leave the HoH room.
  • Jessica escorted Cody out.
  • Paul told Jessica he's willing to talk to her anytime.
  • Then, Paul's bravado returned and he shouted things that Cody had said in the room from the balcony and calling Cody out as an emotional baby.
  • Cody had claimed that Paul treated the others like dogs and bragged about how great he is in the game.
  • Paul yelled it to all the others, rallying them too against Cody.
  • Of course, the lesser than alpha males had to get into the fray, too.
  • Josh started yelling at Mark about how he mistreated him last week and how they will pay.
  • Oh my.
  • Out of the four guys involved in the shouting matches, only Paul came off as quasi-reasonable. He would not let himself be egged into something he'd regret.
  • Yet he would shout things after the threat of a punch in the face left the room.
  • Heck, this was better than TV!
  • Heh.
  • I love me a good brouhaha.
  • In other news, Elena told Mark that she cannot go home this week. She's counting BB as a career move and needs to stay in entertainment. She has no job to go back to, nor a home to return to come October. Her mother has her dogs. She told him BB is her job.
  • I say, she better learn how to flip burgers or something. She's not going to make it in Hollywood! 
  • They got BB Storm Watch bulletins on the video monitor. So, most of them studied through the night expecting that to be the veto comp. 

A cat and a cowboy.

For her, every day is Christmas.

I must stay. I have no job, no home.

Happiness is a tutu and lint roller.

Nobody likes Cody!

Posturing for a brouhaha.

BB19: Nominations Are In - July 28

This is just a quick update -- Paul went with his Plan A for nominations. Jessica and Cody are on the block.  Cody got angry, yelling at Paul. Paul yelled back at Cody. There were no fisticuffs and it didn't rise much about the level of a kerfuffle.

So, it's Jessica, Cody and Jason (due to the earlier comp) on the block. We still have to go through veto. If Jason saves himself, Paul cannot replace him. 

WE know that the Halting Hex will likely stop everything on Thursday.

But Paul doesn't.

BB19: Live Feeds Friday Daytime, Temptation Challenge - July 28

Keeping Kevin at arm's distance

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Whirling Dervishes:
  • Most of the conversations of last night held into today.
  • Elena is all kinds of grumpy.
  • She blames Mark for their showmance and the perception that they are together.
  • Sure, she's just an innocent victim.
  • The feeds were blocked early so they could tell them about the Temptation Comp.
  • Jessica and Cody talked of the wisdom of Cody participating in the comp.
  • Neither Jessica nor Cody tried it.
  • The feeds were blocked for most of the afternoon (with puppy cam) as the comp played out.
  • Oh my ... Mark seems to have won!
  • Even though he's in a neon green tutu.
  • Jason was the last in the comp and is the third nominee.
  • What will Paul do now?
  • Paul is almost positive that Jessica and Cody are bluffing about her temptation. 
  • She is. She has the Halting Hex, but it's not something that will keep both her and Cody safe for two weeks as she's been telling them.
  • If Jason wins veto and pulls himself off the block, Paul can't replace him.
  • Josh has been warned that he might be used as a pawn.
  • Paul has serious thoughts of putting either Jessica or Cody up (or both) and seeing what happens.
  • Elena's name is getting tossed around as a backdoor.
  • All is up in the air now. 
  • His Plan A is Jessica and Cody.
  • Hmm.
  • More later. 

Puppy cam!

Blaming Mark for their showmance

Mind controlling the fruit?

Mark has a nice tutu

BB19: Live Feeds Overnight into Friday - July 28

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Deceptive Drones:
  • There were no fisticuffs.
  • No brouhahas.
  • No real kerfuffles.
  • Despite all of what Josh said about getting in Cody's face, he (Josh) was on the live feeds very little and well-behaved.
  • It's evident that BB not only talked to them about language during the live show (remember someone saying no F-bombs during the aftermath of the HoH?), but they must have had warnings about possible fights.
  • That might make this season the most talked-to about possible physical altercations ever.
  • It's not Paul they've been warning about the physical stuff. (Although his language is ridiculously profane ...)
  • It's Josh, Mark and Cody I would guess. Cody's military background might give him a bit more restraint than others. But he will get right up in people's faces and would surely retaliate if fists were to fly!
  • The worst behaved of ALL was Elena -- slamming things around, saying she was talking to no one.
  • You figure, once she got that dropped jaw off her drooping chest when she was blindsided by Ramses getting evicted, she was the most shocked.
  • Just about everyone but Mark and her knew it was coming ... even Jessica and Cody. Heck, even Ramses knew.
  • Paul and the others had the story all set -- Ramses won the 25 grand, he was a superfan, you never knew where he stood, he flip-flopped sides with the wind, he could win comps while Josh can't, he had to go because he was a more dangerous player (for the win) than Josh, etc.
  • "It was nothing against you or Cody, Jessica." 
  • They made it all about the Power of Ramses and tried to take the targeting Jessica and Cody right out of the mix.
  • They said that the decision to evict Ramses was purely strategic while Jessica/Cody were targeting Josh as a personal vendetta.
  • After all, Josh can't win anything, right?
  • I don't think the story was totally bought, but each of them had the same story.
  • Elena claimed to be more upset because her own alliance didn't tell her what was going on.
  • They covered that base by telling her she didn't need to know -- they had enough votes and she would tell Mark, Mark might tell Jessica and Cody.
  • (Although Kevin told Jessica, but that's beside the point.)
  • Mark, with his cheeks that go red when he's upset, spent a lot of time saying he was sorry to Elena. He thinks everything is his fault.
  • He thinks he's an outsider.
  • Jessica and Cody talked about how they tried to socialize more.
  • BB might have warned Jessica to stop lying about the power of her Temptation.
  • But the thought is already in mind that she and Cody have some kind of protection for the next few weeks.
  • No real talk about who Paul might nominate. He told Elena that she might be a pawn if Jessica and Cody can't be nominated.
  • Elena told Paul that Mark is more into her than she is into him. Well, duh. It's been obvious she's just using him as her summer boy toy.
  • No feeds block yet for the Temptation Challenge yet. That's supposed to happen before nominations.
  • Jeff interviewed Ramses. I don't know why the kid likes Elena so much for the win. He said she and Paul will go far in the game. Well, Paul will.
  • I can only assume that Paul's peeps will turn on him before the end. 
  • But, whether he is obnoxious and annoying with a potty mouth or not, his social game has them all respecting his game, if not liking him. 

No one wants to play with me

Acted out the worst of all

Will the lies keep her and Cody safe?

Ramses thinks Elena will go far. Ha!

On the subways, that's man-spread, Alex
