BB19: Live Feeds PoV Bulletin - Sept. 9

'nuff said

The Power of Veto comics comp is over. 

I think I prefer to remain quiet at the moment and avoid all the fan brouhaha for a bit. It's draining me this season.

BB19: Live Feeds into Friday Night, Nominations - Sept. 8

Girl talk

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Miserable Mice:
  • I wonder how long Alex will wear her superhero host outfit. Or, for that matter, how long will Paul wear his suspenders from the comp more than a week ago? He wore that silly fur thing from a comp for a few weeks straight.
  • It seems some of them latch onto any new item of clothing they get in a comp. I recall a few saying they have more sneakers than they own at home in real life.
  • That said, at least Alex's superhero garb doesn't leave her chest hanging out!
  • The big news of the day would be the nominations.
  • As expected, Josh nominated Alex and Kevin.
  • Now, the plan with this and Josh, Paul and Christmas is that Alex will be voted out. If Alex happens to win veto, then Kevin would be voted out despite who else is on the block. 
  • The eviction order would just shift to Kevin then Alex rather than its present Alex then Kevin.
  • If Kevin wins veto .... BWAHAHAHA! 
  • Ahem.
  • I'm sorry. I really enjoy the dude, more than any of the rest of them in the house when he's himself. However, I've lost faith that he could be some sort of comp beast just waiting for the moment.
  • There is a slight glimmer of hope.
  • I doubt it will come to fruition, though.
  • Y'see, Josh had one of his long talks with the camera. While these nominations are indeed what Paul (and thus Christmas) want ... Josh seriously wants to make the move ... try to get Alex to win the veto, save herself, put Paul up in her place and blindside Paul.
  • Paul out this week! And, out at the hands of Josh!
  • Can you imagine it?
  • Sorry, I can't. IF he gets the nerve to put Paul on the block (and that's a big IF), I think Alex and Christmas (the only two who can vote) won't go with his plan. 
  • They both trust Paul, foolish hamsters that they are.
  • Alex doesn't like Kevin, not at all. She would vote him out.
  • Christmas was once attached to Kevin at the hip. Paul is her more recent attachment figure.
  • Josh thinks that if he saves Alex or, more preferably, she saves herself -- he just needs to tip her vote to Paul so it would be a tie. He'd be the tiebreaker and blindside Paul.
  • True, it would be the power move of the game. And, it just might tip the scales in Josh's favor with the jury if he can get it done and makes it to the final two.
  • Unless it happens, I don't think it's going to go down that way.
  • I think both Christmas and Alex are too blinded by Paul to understand that would put the rest of them -- Josh, Alex, Christmas and even Kevin -- on more solid ground going into the finals.
  • I guess we'll see.
  • As for the nominations staying as they are -- Alex is in tears tonight. She thinks it will be a split vote and, because she doesn't get along well with Josh, he will vote her out.
  • Not to be outdone, Josh also cried. He told Paul and Christmas that he feels horrible about Jason and Alex. He claims that he likes them the most after Paul and Christmas.
  • Hmm.
  • He also told Paul and Christmas that he wants to see Kevin go next.
  • I remember when he and Kevin were a loving fun heterosexual couple!
  • Can Josh really pull the big move off?
  • We know, that if he does indeed do the deed, we can expect a lot of tears.

Nap time! I could use a nap myself.

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

Didn't want to win

JURY:

Matthew Clines 

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!
