Hamster watchers ready?  Let's have a recap! Julie warns that there may be a blindside but the entire house will be blindsided by a double eviction. Recap ensues.

Julie tells us that some of the others have noticed Paul is running all. And, emotions are running high as they have to turn on each other. Alex really thinks Kevin is leaving. Kevin thinks Kevin is leaving. 

Jason and Kevin are buddies. Between the two, they both think Kevin is going home. Josh is still commiserating about how this is being done with Paul being the one with squeaky clean hands. Paul is planning a tie, with Christmas being the tiebreaker. That way he keeps Alex in his favor. Josh is SO not happy with it.

Jason is talking to Josh. Josh isn't saying anything about the plan, but it's tearing him apart. 

Julie tells them of the double eviction tonight. 
Jason -- Loves wife and son. Please don't vote me off.
Kevin -- Hi to family. Proud of all, had a great time.

The votes to evict:
Alex - Kevin
Raven - Jason
Paul - Kevin
Josh - Jason 

The plan is a go. Christmas casts the tiebreaker -- Jason

Jason slams out without saying goodbye to anyone. Josh is crying. Paul is putting on a show saying if he (Paul) was on the block, he would get evicted. Paul is snapping at him. 

Aha! In the goodbye messages, Josh told the truth about Paul and Christmas. Paul lied and sucked up for the jury vote from Jason. Oopsie! 

HoH Comp -- Fake News, true or false answers. (BB News, not nation!)
1. All right
2. Paul, Josh wrong
3. All right
4. Kevin wrong
5. Josh and Alex only right
6. All right
7. ALEX WINS HOH! 

Nomination time! Kevin and Raven. 

Power of Veto comp -- It's one of those "clown shoe" comps -- race down to lemon truck, search for limes, one at a time into a tube. First to four limes and push button wins. 

JOSH WINS VETO! 

Living room for veto meeting.

He does not use it. 
Statements --
Kevin - Long summer, do what you feel right
Raven - Awesome summer, gastro-whatever again.

The votes to evict:
Paul - Raven
Christmas - Raven
Josh - Kevin

Hmm. Why'd he do that? The plan was Raven!

Raven goes anyway. She goes into hysterics. But she does cartwheels out on the stage.

In the house, Alex looks shellshocked. Josh breaks down alone in one room. 

Aha! Julie mentions that Raven didn't play the game. Ha! 

Unexpected announcement expected after the commercial. Hmm... 

BB Comics - The Revengers on Sunday.

Wednesday and Thursday both eviction nights next week.

Big announcement. Will have a Celebrity BB this winter. 

In a last bit of the house, Josh admits to Paul, Alex and Christmas that he voted for Kevin to go.

BB19: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Sept. 6

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! 

I'm hoping this NYC Mayoral debate ends in time to let the show air on time! We'll see. Albanese versus DiBlasio. At least it's better controlled than the Presidential debates were. And, it has indeed ended on time. Phew!

The recap has started. And, as is the story this season, Paul is calling all the shots the others are taking.

We start out after nominations. Alex offered to be a pawn, but isn't happy that Jason is on the block with her. Jason is just confused. Of course, we'll have to listen to them each saying how important it is that they each win the veto. Paul is trying to do damage control. Jason feels like he might be being duped by Paul. Hey, they have all been duped by Paul all season. Kevin tells Jason that he thinks either Jason or Alex are indeed the targets. 

Jason goes to Josh who plays dumb. Then Paul tells Jason he thinks he himself is getting backdoored. Josh isn't as dumb as he plays on TV -- he realizes that Paul is trying to absolve himself of all guilt when either Jason or Alex goes. 

Christmas tries to convince both Jason and Alex that it's a backdoor plan for Kevin. Hmm.

Christmas, Paul and Josh decide that Paul needs to win veto and Alex will be saved. But Jason will go home. 

Paul is trying to convince both of the nominees on the block to throw the veto comp off. Josh is increasingly suspicious of Paul. Paul keeps working on them. Hmm.

Oops. Word gets back to Christmas that Josh has been throwing a bit of shade on Paul with the others. She's mad even though he's totally on spot. Christmas tells us that SHE still needs both Paul and Josh right now as she cannot compete in a lot of comps. 

Veto player pick time. Christmas randomly draws Kevin. Alex gets Raven. Jason gets Houseguest's Choice and goes for Paul. He tells us he trusts Paul more than he trusts Josh. That's a big mistake.

Veto comp time -- Josh is hosting. Winner gets once in a lifetime on the scene experience new TV show -- Me, Myself and I.  It will happen once BB is over. 

The doorbell rings and it's Bobby Moynihan and he has pots and pans. He's there to host the PoV comp. He's a fan of the show and goes through a bit of mimicking/mocking them all. He tells us that they're all idiots for not getting Paul out. He's right.

Veto comp time. All kinds of crates fill the yard. The crates reveal machines that Punt, Slap, Kick machine. They go by rounds answering questions while the machines do their thing. The questions are regarding how many times an action happened.

Jason is the only one getting the first round question wrong. All the others got a point. Alex, Paul and Raven get points in the second round. Ohh ... Raven is now in the lead! She loses that lead. Alex, Paul and Raven still leading by one point. Now Alex and Paul are tied for the lead. Uh-oh, Alex is NOT throwing it to Paul! They're in a tie and they will have to do a tiebreaker. She thinks Jason gives her a thumbs up to go for the veto.

After several tiebreaker bouts, Paul finally wins. Alex did NOT throw it. 

Josh goes to Paul to ask if he could leave the noms the same. He's worried that saving Alex and voting out Josh will get "blood on his and Christmas's hands." Of course, Paul is only concerned with Paul. 

Josh again tries to open Christmas's eyes about Paul to no avail. He walks away from her during the talk. She's ticked at him.

He tries once more with both Christmas and Josh. No avail there either. 

Veto meeting time. Paul saves Alex (no speeches made by nominees). Christmas puts Kevin up on the block, saying everyone else has already been on the block before. 

Kevin vows to us that he will not throw another comp. Jason thinks that Kevin will go home. Josh wonders if it's time for him to win HoH and shake things up. Remember -- it's a double eviction tomorrow!

BB19: Live Feeds into Tuesday Dawn - Sept. 5

Ew, just EW

Here's the latest from inside this Big Brother House of Changes Need to Be Made:

• The plan is still to take out Jason, not Kevin.
• It's hard to imagine, but Raven is craving even more attention -- shrieking, talking, one-upping every story told by others, going on about her illnesses, now clinging on Paul, pining for Matt and on.
• And on.
• And on.
• BB, in the guise of POP TV, gave the hamsters a big barbecue and lawn games.
• They believe it's because of Labor Day.
• I think it's because they're so darn boring to watch.
• Hmm. Corn on the cob is one of those foods that many people (even those without gastro-whatever) find hard to digest.
• That didn't stop Raven. She also chowed down the burgers. I guess they're not the red meat she absolutely cannot eat.
• They are starting to go with Josh's thinking that it will be a double eviction this week.
• Paul wants to take Alex into his care so she won't try hard to win the HoH.
• Well, he probably wouldn't mind if she won this coming one because he will be catering to her and not have "blood on his hands."
• In reality -- unless the power shifts -- Alex is the next target. Then Raven, then Kevin.
• Ho-hum.
• And on it goes. Make it end, please. 

Playing games

Corn is hard to digest for many

Croquet, badminton, hula hoops

A temporary grill even ...

BB19: Live Feeds into Monday Evening, PoV Meeting - Sept. 4

Enjoy the yard while you have it

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Societal Misfits:

• As expected, when the veto meeting went down, Paul saved Alex.
• Christmas put Kevin on the block with Jason.
• The plan remains that Jason will be voted out.
• Paul keeps telling Kevin not to worry.
• But Kevin is thinking it's likely he will go home.
• When Kevin mentioned Alex won't vote against Jason, everybody else will? -- Paul nodded and told him to stop asking questions.
• That also puts Kevin in a bit of a predicament. He seems to think with the family and new baby on the way, Jason needs the win more than he does.
• Paul is working on his plan of getting close to Raven to throw the others off the idea he might be working with Christmas.
• Josh too is trying to convince people he's not working with Christmas.
• Kevin and Jason have both agreed not to campaign against each other and just enjoy the time they have left together in the house.
• I was thinking ... as deathly ill as she is, isn't Raven taking chances on her life going without a doctor's visit all summer? It's a wonder she hasn't passed right in the house!
• At times, her make-up job looks like she might have.
• Raven talked most of the day. Apparently she doesn't have any laryngitis issues.
• Christmas and Josh spent some time studying dates while Alex, for some reason (perhaps boredom) pored through the BB Rules book.
• And on it goes.

BB19: Live Feeds Sunday into Monday Dawn - Sept. 3-4

At least he can still smile a bit

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

• The Have Nots have ended. Thankfully Kevin won't get yet another week of it for throwing the HoH comp first.
• A friend of mine, a fan of BB in the early years, tuned into the show for a few minutes last night. She couldn't believe how stupid this cast is. As she says, "I try to never show my stupid in public and they're on national television showing their stupid."
• Raven told of more (fake) illnesses she has. She told Paul that she is hypothyroid -- but gives him the facts about hyperthyroid.
• Later on in the day, Alex listened to Raven go on ad nauseam about both her mother's and her own health woes.
• I have to give Alex some credit there. I would have burst into a case of the giggles.
• Oh. Raven's mother also has epilepsy. Raven has had to work since the age of 14 to support her because disability doesn't cover the bills. 
• Well, disability when you've hardly or never worked doesn't pay much. I'm beginning to doubt that her mother ever had a real job at all or for very long if she did. 
• But how can poor deathly ill Raven work so much to pay all those bills?
• It's a mystery.
• Oh. There are always Go Fund Me sites!
• Ha.
• Oh. And Raven apparently had to doctor shop to find one who would say she had the gastro-whatever.
• Gee, I wonder why?
• Raven's grandmother had to have surgery just when she was leaving to go into the BB house. A "full knee replacement." Um, that could very well be true. Many many folks have that done. I have two of those.
• Oh my. Raven also has acid reflux. The horrors just never end.
• Josh is upset because the latest plan, still to vote out Jason, is to save Alex with the veto. Kevin would be put up in her place but not voted out.
• Paul thinks that will gain Alex's trust and she won't try to win HoH -- she'd be willing to throw it to Paul.
• Josh thinks that the plan gives Paul more favor than them. Of course, he's the ONLY one thinking Paul needs to go. That almost redeems his circus music and pots and pans from the early weeks.
• Well, not quite. But ...!
• Josh stated his thoughts to Christmas, but she remains Paul-blinded.
• They don't seem to be thinking about double eviction ... except for Josh. He thinks it's coming this week.
• Josh even tried to tell Paul that the plan would expose himself (Josh) and Christmas.
• Christmas, Paul and Josh had a heated conversation about Josh's thoughts. The two dismiss Josh as "freaking out" and they know what they're doing.
• Josh even pulled his "superfan" card about double eviction coming this week and they pooh-poohed him.
• A bit later Josh alone talked to the camera. Hey, bud ... we all agree with you. The plan will only aid Paul -- he gets "no blood on his hands" and you and Christmas do. We see it. We've seen it since Day One and y'all let it get to this point.
• Josh is amazed that he's the only one who sees through Paul.
• So are we.
• Paul snapped at Josh telling him to never question his loyalty again.
• Oh my. Keep questioning it Josh, win something and put up Paul. The show fans will rejoice. You will go from zero to hero. Just do it!
• In other news, Christmas and Paul think that Raven is a mean girl and wonder if they should confront her about her behavior.
• I think all of the women in the house this season fit the mean girl description. If Paul weren't a guy, he'd be a mean girl in so many ways. Oh, not to your face, but ...
• Paul and Christmas stayed up until the wee hours. They still want the save Alex, put Kevin up with Jason, vote out Jason, Paul befriend Alex plan.
• Paul will now attach himself more to Raven because Josh might have hinted to her that Christmas/Paul are working together.
• Is this all going to end soon?
• Please?

Paul and Christmas into Monday dawn

Is he the only one with smarts?

Yeah, put the nasty feet by your drink

Will his fate be sealed today?

Close the refrigerator doors! Sheesh!
