BB19: Live Feeds into Friday, New HoH - Sept. 8

Aw, he doesn't want to be alone

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Jerky McJerkfaces:

• Dang, Josh really has it out for Kevin. I can't recall exactly when it started -- they were friends and confidants for the first half of the season. 
• Now Josh would have preferred Kevin go over Raven in the second eviction last night.
• And I know he doesn't like Raven!
• So, what might be the worst that can happen as far as Kevin goes?
• What if ...? What if ...?
• What if Josh won HoH?
• That's exactly what happened.
• It was the BB comic book comp (as we all knew it would be).
• You know that, despite his realization that Paul is playing only for himself, he's not going to have the nerve to try to blindside Paul.
• Not that anyone other than perhaps Kevin would vote to evict Paul, mind you.
• Paul has worked it so that Alex thinks he's the only one in the house she can trust.
• Christmas seems to have an inking about Paul, but I don't think she'll challenge him at all. She's too busy caressing him.
• Ew.
• We know that the eviction order was Jason, Alex, Raven, then Kevin until it's down to Josh, Christmas and Paul.
• So, it will surely be Kevin and Alex on the block.
• Alex and Josh both want Kevin out. In this scenario, neither could vote.
• Only Christmas and Paul will vote in that scenario. Both should follow the plan and vote out Alex.
• What if Alex wins veto?
• No harm, no foul for Paul -- he would vote Kevin out as per her wishes.
• But, meanwhile, Paul thinks it would be great if Kevin won the veto. Of course, then either he or Christmas would go up, Alex would still be voted out and there would be no "blood on his hands."
• Josh was telling people they're welcome to come up and sleep in his HoH room.
• He doesn't like being up there alone.
• Oh, poor baby.
• He got his Justin Bieber music to console him. (Why am I not surprised?)
• Oh, well ... this train wreck will be ending soon.
• Yay. 

Bound to be on the block

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.
