BB19: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 30

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! 

Do remember ... this is a television show. We have much more critical things affecting our lives than what stupidity and such these fools say and do in the house. And, with that in mind ... on with the show. 

Recap time. And we're reminded that Kevin is the odd man out. Of course. 

Jason tells us there is no backdoor plan for Kevin and that Matt is the target. Both Jason and Paul have Raven convinced she will be pulled off the block if someone wins veto. Jason also tells us he's wearying of protecting Kevin. 

Matt sincerely promises Raven that if he wins veto, he'll save her. I do believe he would. But his statement about her deserving to be in the game more? I personally don't think either was good casting this season -- both have been just having a summer vacation. 

Alex tries to convince Jason that Kevin is mean to everyone. She wants him out over Matt and Raven. 

Veto players picking time! Jason randomly picks Josh. Matt gets Paul. Raven gets Kevin. Ha. She didn't want Kevin! 

Paul tells us if he wins, he'll pull off Raven, Jason will put up Kevin and he (Paul) will stir the pot while keeping "squeaky clean." Jason doesn't feel right about the situation and claims (to us) that he needs to win the veto to keep the nominations the same. According to him, it was only a ruse they were pawns. He doesn't want Kevin out. At least, not this week.

The backyard has cabanas and new pool toys. It's the Hide a Veto comp during which they hide the vetoes and then go seek. The one hidden the best wins. This is the veto comp in which they destroy the house. They each get three minutes (separately) to hide their veto cards. Then they each have two minutes to find a veto. All of them go in separately and Jason was the first one to find one.

Heh. Raven finds Matt's veto. 

Kevin seems to be kvetching more than searching. Raven finds a second one. Remember -- it's not what they find, it's the one not found that wins. Matt finds one. Jason finds the fifth card.

The cards found in order:
1. Jason found Josh
2. Raven found Matt 
3. Raven found Kevin
4. Matt found Paul
5. Jason found Raven

As his card wasn't found, Jason wins the Power of Veto!

They returned to the trashed house. But, at least they have new pool toys! Alex thinks that Jason will put Kevin up. 

Kevin goes to talk to Jason. He asks if Matt goes out. Jason decides to ask of Kevin would be a willing pawn if he pulls Raven off. Kevin doesn't see the logic in the plan. He thinks someone else put a bug in Jason's ear (or so he tells us). He does not want to go on the block. Jason tells us he won't do it -- he considers Kevin his pal. Alex and Paul are not thrilled. Alex thinks that putting Kevin up would buy peace for the week. Jason is getting the idea that Paul and Alex actually want to vote Kevin out. 

Alex now wants Kevin out more than ever. She thinks Jason has gone rogue and is too chummy with Kevin. Christmas backs up Alex with Jason and talks about Matt and Raven's jury votes. Then Paul joins in on the talk. Jason talks to us about the mob tactics used this season in the house. At least he sees it exists. 

Veto meeting time.
Raven -- I trust you.
Matt -- At home on the block, please use on the little gypsy.

Jason -- Coming back to my core thoughts will work best. I've decided not to use the power of veto. Will entertain a question from you if you wish. Alex and Paul look ticked, perhaps more ticked than Matt.

Raven cries to us.

BB19: Live Feeds into Wednesday - August 30

Things are all going kerflooey for him now

This isn't going to be the usual live feeds from inside the Big Brother House of Toxicity:

• There have been many controversial, false accusations and just plain acts of stupidity in the house the last few days.
• The backlash will affect the livelihoods and lives of the hamsters involved, without a doubt.
• Chances are the redress will go towards the hamsters saying the nasty things rather than the person who's the target of the statements.
• While I'm not happy that my own guilty summer pleasure and I put such work into this each summer for a few dollars here and there and the community on the blog ... I'm not about to get all up in arms over the hamsters.
• I work in a toxic enough workplace in my personal life.
• I don't like to be amidst hate and hostility.
• It's just not me.
• I personally don't think folks should get all excited about some people on a television show. Get excited about helping people struck by Harvey. Get excited about the unrest in the nation and in the world. Get excited about the real catastrophes going on in the world today.
• This is just a TV show we watch.
• Yes, if we were in there, it could be construed as a hostile workplace or some such thing.
• Yes, if we were in there, we would be surrounded by toxic people and our lives would be miserable.
• But in the grand scheme of things ... they chose to go on the show. BB gives them counseling after the season. Perhaps they didn't realize how horrible things can get. but there are some issues every season.
• The positive is that BB production might realize changes need to be made. 
• Let's all take a few deep breaths and relax a bit ... or take our passion to the important things about living on this planet today.
• If someone on the show says something stupid or unwarranted, hey ... that's on them. They will have to live with any repercussions.
• And, just how does that affect us? It doesn't, really. If it does, perhaps it helps us to realize that we might need to be more compassionate and caring about others.
• Please keep comments to the PG-rating. If you quote from other sites that are more lenient than that, go for all asterisks. 
• As for the house news, yes ... they are ganging up on Kevin at Paul's bequest. Paul wants them to think that Kevin turned against Jason and Alex. And, it's working.
• Kevin admitted to Matt that he lied about the 25 grand with good cause, but never lied about the vote for him last week.
• Matt continues to defy the Have Not rules and will surely go home this week.
• Paul and Christmas next want Jason out.  

Hold it together, Kevin.

The tongue strikes again

Please let that shirt go with Matt

BB19: Live Feeds into Tuesday - August 29

All in the game, yo, all in the game.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Confined Cruelty:

• Y'know, if the house is going to go all kerflooey, they need to not do it on the evening I work late and have to get up early for work the next day!
• Hmm. Now Josh is saying how he can't stand Kevin and Paul is telling him to cool it because they have to keep him until the final four.
• Hmm.
• So now Paul must figure that Alex and Jason are too big a threat? Raven too big a threat? Hmm.
• Of course, he could be just saying it for Josh and have something totally different in mind.
• Christmas, Josh and Paul think Kevin would be easier to beat at the end. Of course, they're talking in the comps -- not in popularity or an F2 situation.
• They're thinking of putting Alex and Jason up next week, telling them they're backdooring Kevin.
• Um. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I don't think Jason and Alex would buy it.
• Matt and Raven are now in good graces of Paul and Company. Matt is doing all he can to be voted out (penalties for eating, etc. as a Have Not) to ensure Raven will stay in the game.
• Paul and Company have already taken Raven under their wings, telling her the plan to put up Alex and Jason. They tell her she must play along that Kevin will be backdoored.
• Um. WHAT?
• Didn't that just happen with her and Matt?
• They tell her it's Alex they want out. Never mind that it's Jason who has such greatly offended her.
• All Kevin really wants at this point is Raven out before he goes.
• Kevin also said that if he wins HoH, he wants to put Raven up twice on the block to make sure she leaves.
• Heh.
• Kevin wants Raven voted out this week, not Matt.
• That won't happen -- Paul wants Matt out, plus Matt is adding up the penalties. He is sleeping with Raven not in the Have Not Room.
• Christmas and Paul plan a fake fight to act like they're not working together.
• In the wee hours, Paul had a talk with the camera (us). He's thinking he might go the whole season without being on the block. He claims he's so happy, but it's a lonely happiness because he can't really share it with anyone. 
• And, he says, "I'm pretty sure I'm a psychopath, but ... &#($ it. I don't care."
• Oh my. If only he used his power for the force of good! 

Sigh. This is sad.

I'm in with the In Crowd!

I cooked every day for them!

BB19: Live Feeds, Veto Meeting Monday - August 28

And they eat food off of there?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Chaotic Crazies:

• The morning was relatively quiet.
• All heck broke loose after the veto meeting.
• As I predicted, Jason did not use the veto.
• So, Raven and Matt are still on the block.
• And they're livid.
• Both screamed at Jason for what seems like forever.
• Raven yelled that he lied to her.
• Matt got so heated and in Jason's face that I noticed all of a sudden both Josh and Kevin standing there ready to put themselves between them.
• Matt claims he doesn't care.
• He ate food (Have Not) and took a hot shower.
• BB gave him a penalty vote.
• So, he ate more.
• Meanwhile, Paul is already moving on with his plan to oust Kevin next week.
• He's egging them on to give Kevin a hard time.
• Even though Jason said something absolutely horrible about Kevin;s family (not to Kevin) and the internet is in an uproar, it was indeed said in jest.
• But, no, it shouldn't have been said at all.
• They remain friends.
• That is, until Kevin leaves the room.
• Sigh.
• This is a total mess.
• But Matt will be out of there this week.
• That's good. 

Morning laps and yaps

Before the fireworks

Matt goes off on Jason

Kevin and Josh were the bodyguards

Maybe a house will fall on her

BB19: Live Feeds into Monday - August 28

Let's imagine it's Ian rocking on the hammock

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Casting Catastrophes:

• I just don't know about this season.
• I have a lot of "what ifs" in my head.
• What if Christmas didn't break her foot? 
• What if Paul hadn't returned to the game and received protection in the first few weeks?
• What if Cameron had stayed in it?
• What if they doled out alcohol to this bunch as in all previous seasons?
• What if casting had nixed putting someone like Raven in there who claims to be so sickly, thus getting more attention to her "cause" and working on the sympathy of cast and fans? *That is, until we all realized that, while she does have some health issues, much of it is embellished.
• What if Raven hadn't been cast? Would Matt actually play the game or just sit around in that nasty orange shirt with his tongue sticking out the side of his mouth?
• Oh, well. As people who lose would say ... "it is what it is."
• Of course, I don't think that the production people realized that everybody would fall for and follow Paul this far into the season!
• He's been playing the game and his fellow hamsters every single minute.
• And they're practically blinded by the light. Or something like that.
• Anyway ... to the day and evening yesterday ...
• It seemed like a replay of the day before with the exception of not having a totally messed up house from the veto comp.
• Paul still worked his anti-Kevin agenda.
• Matt and Raven are sure it's a backdoor plan to get Kevin out and they are indeed just pawns.
• They did have the yard yesterday.
• Josh, Christmas, Paul, Alex and Jason sat around trash-talking Raven, Matt, Cody and Mark.
• And, to a lesser extent (at that time), Kevin.
• Kevin and Matt are Have Nots this week as they were the first two out of the HoH comp.
• Kevin fixed up his bed and claims it's now the most comfortable bed in the house.
• Jason says that Kevin takes his food to be all rebellious and act the villain like he's going to cheat at Have Not, then just throws out the food.
• In her long list of worldly deeds, Raven claims to have held a real toucan and a sloth.
• Well, she's held Matt. We know the sloth part is true.
• Heehee.
• Paul and Christmas look forward to the arrival of the dollar store games and arts and crafts to keep away the boredom.
• Josh thinks that Kevin is indeed a father, but thinks his kids are younger than Kevin is claiming. (I doubt anyone could keep up those intricate "lies" about colleges and places the kids are living ...!)
• Alex still thinks Kevin is all a fake, a hoax.
• Raven supposedly was in a doctor's office during 9/11 and choreographed a dance tribute to the day. Um. She was about five years old!
• To her credit, I guess she could have done it later.
• I guess.
• Matt and Raven had a big cinnamon and milk throwing fight in the kitchen. Raven claims it was all Matt's fault. Yep, he's her Door Matt and she steps all over him.
• Later Matt and Raven talked about staging the fake fight and how everyone believed it was real.
• Hmm.
• Paul is still working the couples angle in the guise of getting Kevin out. He told Raven that if Jason doesn't use the veto, Josh and Christmas will be angry. He also told her that Josh and Christmas think Alex and Jason are on a power trip.
• Hey, this way Paul is covered in all cases!
• Later, he discussed the pros and cons of Matt versus Raven out with Jason and Alex. He thinks if they get Matt out, Raven will be easy to control.
• I don't know. Raven has come closer to winning comps than Matt!
• So ... in today's veto meeting, what will Jason do?
• I say he will keep the nominations the same.
• And, it's more likely that Matt will go over Raven this week.
• After all, that's what Paul wants.  

Josh calls her Creepy Christmas

Again ... who is responsible for casting?

The tongue thing and shirt need to go

Gathering of "friends"
