BB19: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 26

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! 

Recap City. 

Finally, the recap of nominations is done and over. Jessica once again tells us that Josh is her target, Ramses is just a pawn. 

Oh, geez. Josh is crying again in the bathroom and in the Diary Room. Christmas consoles him. Well, not in the Diary Room.

Jessica questions Elena about the certainty of Josh leaving. Elena says it will be Josh. Jessica asks Paul and he advises her to wait until after the veto comp. She doesn't like his "unsolicited advice" -- even though she did ask him! She doesn't want to be blindsided.

Paul thinks that Josh should stay, Ramses out. He thinks Josh will be loyal to him and the others. Paul advises Josh to lay low and stay cool. Of course, with a glimmer of hope, Josh will do it!

Christmas impresses Cody with her tale of being the first female on a pit crew at some NASCAR thing. Cody tells us he's trying to improve his social game.

PoV Players random pick time -- Jessica picks Houseguest's Choice (Cody, of course), Josh picks Jason, Ramses gets Christmas. 

Sigh. Now Jason is crying in the Diary Room. At least it's over missing his son, not the game. 

Veto Comp time -- Host Kevin is dressed as a bunch of grapes. The yard is done up in smoothie shops. It's the exploding stuff in your face comp. They have to memorize ingredients from a monitor and add the ingredient into their cup. 

Christmas out in the first round. Ramses, Josh and Jason all eliminated in the second round.  Only Cody and Jessica remain. Cody throws the last round to Jessica to save her hair.

Paul tells Josh to act like he's defeated so that Jessica will keep the nominations the same. Paul certainly doesn't want to be a renom! Josh goes to Jessica, telling her he wants to enjoy the few days he has left in the house.  But he goes wild in the Diary Room yelling she will be blindsided. 

Paul talks to his group about keeping Josh, citing Josh's loyalty. They can't depend on Ramses for the same loyalty. Plus, Josh will always be a bigger target.

Ramses is getting worried. He goes to Jessica to ask her to use the veto. She says she'll talk to people. Of course, they lie to her. Raven looked like a deer in headlights. Jessica is still worried.

She voices her worries and lays out what the other side of the house might be thinking to Cody. He pooh-poohs it and says she's being paranoid. She ponders putting up Alex and saving Ramses.

Time for the veto meeting!
Ramses - Praises her wins, consider options, please take me off the block if it's best for you.
Josh - Apologizes and plays the "I'm leaving" act.

Jessica does NOT use the veto.

BB19: Live Feeds into Tuesday Night - July 25

Don't get French toast in my ear!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Tedious Toads:

• Wow, it's boring in there today.
• The plan to evict Ramses is still intact.
• Rumblings about it have gotten back to Cody and Jessica.
• But they can't do anything about it.
• Cody says if they vote out Ramses he'll never trust any of them again.
• Well, duh. They voted him out. He shouldn't trust them anyway.
• Kevin told Christmas that Cody told him in three interviews while he was out they mentioned his lack of a social game. Kevin said he knows Cody is trying.
• He's definitely trying to socialize a bit more than he did pre-eviction.
• But the damage is already done.
• In their morning Walk & Talk, Kevin and Jason can be a hoot. Kevin was saying this morning that they're actually in there for 30 years, not 90 days and no one ever leaves. If they do, they come back ... they're not really gone. Well, except for that one girl who ran away.
• Heh.
• Paul, Matt and Raven want Cody out, then Elena before Jessica.
• That is, after Ramses goes this week.
• Jessica has been counting the votes she thinks she thinks are for Ramses to stay. She thinks she has enough.
• I don't think so.
• Remember, they lie.
• I can think of three votes for Josh to go -- Cody, Mark and Elena.
• Josh is in love with Kevin.
• Or, something to that effect.
• He thinks Kevin is the "coolest cat on the block."
• But, of course, Kevin isn't on the block and hasn't been on the block.
• On the block are Ramses and Josh. Of the two, although a tad nerdy, I think Ramses is the coolest.
• Jessica got ticked at Paul's "unsolicited advice" regarding her relationship with Cody.
• Paul told her that it would be different outside the house.
• Cody bristled, saying at least they met naturally while Paul stalked his ex online.
• I don't know how "naturally" meeting in the BB house is. The whole situation is a bit unnatural to me.
• Alex, Paul and Jason talked about Cody's lies and now wonder if he was even ever in the military.
• I personally don't doubt that he was. But I do think he embellishes.
• Jessica still seems a bit jealous about Cody and Alex.
• Oh, give it a break.
• Just lots of small talk happening today. 

Trying to think ahead

They wouldn't flip the vote, would they?

Morning Walk &Talk

Josh's new best friend, Orwell

Mirrors my own reaction about the veto

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Lousy Liars:

• So, Jessica got bamboozled.
• Or, more to the point ... Ramses got bamboozled.
• She believed the lies and didn't use the veto.
• That will pretty much seals the deal that Josh will stay and Ramses will be evicted this week. 
• For me, that's good and bad. I enjoy Ramses -- he's like a kid in a candy shop living his dream to be on the show. For the most part, he's pleasant and upbeat. I enjoy the feeds when Kevin and Ramses are messing around together. That's the "bad" of it -- I'll miss the banter and the kid.
• I guess the "good" is that Josh is so explosive. You know me; I like a good brouhaha and giggle at a heated kerfuffle. He's good for that. It will liven up the feeds at times. But, when he's down, he's fairly nonexistent. One thing to note about him -- he talks to the cameras. I wish they all did.
• Jessica and Cody will once again be blindsided this week when the vote comes through.
• That should perk the feeds up for a while.
• In other news -- Kevin said something about having a BankAmericard. Um, hey Kevin ... it's probably been called a Visa card for most, if not all, the lifetime of your fellow hamsters. They probably had no clue what he meant.
• Paul, Kevin and others have been doing a lot of studying the house and its stuff. Paul thinks they're due a memory comp.
• Paul told Kevin they need to memorize the days and not to share with others.
• But Paul won't advise Kevin who to put on the block if he (Kevin) wins HoH. Kevin is thinking both Jessica and Cody.
• Alex suggested to Jason that they just say something like "I hate Josh" if Ramses asks them about their votes.
• Aw, poor kid.
• Heh. Alex says getting hit all the time by others when she was a kid because her last name is "Ow" toughened her up.
• Ow!
• Hmm. Jessica told Kevin about winning the temptation.
• But she lies about it. Maybe she's learning.
• She told Kevin it makes her ineligible to be nominated for four weeks and the punishment would to go to the person nominating her.
• Oh my.
• I don't know how that will play out.
• Apparently Kevin was told in the Diary Room that he came in second for the Temptation.
• Paul quizzed Raven about her disease(s) with others gathered around the hot tub.
• I dunno. She's surely in better shape than I am!
• Kevin went and told Jason about Jessica's Temptation. The lie she gave him, that is.
• Jason told Alex and Christmas. They aren't as believing, though. They think it's too good and Paul probably got the best one this season already.
• Cody caught onto the Save Josh Movement. 
• Jessica said it was she was scared would happen.
• Well, she could have saved Ramses with the veto, silly girl!
• Cody thinks Paul is spearheading the movement.
• Well, yeah. But it's not just Paul. It's Paul, Alex, Christmas ... need I go on?
• Thursday's live show should be interesting, to say the least.

Smile while you can, Ramses

No, not a showmance

Wants a breakfast sandwich

At least he'll add kerfuffles to the mix

Listening to Raven talk diseases

BB19: Live Feeds PoV Meeting Quick Blurb - July 24

Just a real quick update --

Jessica did NOT use the power of veto.

Ramses and Josh are still on the block together. She and Cody are unaware that the majority plan to send Ramses packing. The veto would have saved him. She does have the Halting Hex. But I can't see her using that to save anyone other than herself or Cody.

It will probably be bye-bye Ramses on Thursday. The pawn often goes home. He knows it. But apparently Jessica doesn't. I said she needs to realize they LIE!

BB19: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - July 24

He grew up on Darling Street

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Capricious Cats:

• Ramses is very worried.
• As he should be.
• He went to Jessica, telling her he knew he was Plan B when he was on the block before and thinks the majority will vote him out.
• Jessica told him to talk to people, see where they stand.
• Um. Okay. But they do LIE. It's Big Brother. They're gonna lie, silly girl!
• She said she would also talk to people.
• Remember, Jessica, they will LIE!
• She assured Ramses that he will not go home this week and told him that she has her own Plan B that will keep him in the house. 
• She told him she doesn't want to blow his game and won't do it.
• Now, of course, we know she has Plan B and a Plan C.
• Plan B is that she holds the PoV -- she could save him and put someone else up on the block with Josh. 
• Plan C is that she has the Halting Hex power. 
• Josh is still "not talking" or even acknowledging Jessica and Cody. If they enter the kitchen when he's there, he walks out without a word said.
• Kevin has the initials of all of his brothers tattooed on one arm. But not his sisters. Hmm.
• Jessica didn't realize live feeders have audio, not just video. Now, if all we had was video it would be either (A) really, really more boring than it actually is or (B) more exciting because we could use our own imagination with the dialogue!
• Josh talked at length to the camera (us). He's sure he's staying this week and is planning on being nice because everybody will be jury votes.
• Ha! Like he's going to make it to the end. No way, Joshay! They don't LIKE you. They're using you and often mock you behind your back!
• Well, not really Kevin. He kind of defends Josh a bit saying he's a kid.
• Josh doesn't want to be nice to Mark or Cody.
• Well, I don't think they want to be nice to him, either.
• Josh says he's going to keep pretending to be miserable so that Jessica and Cody will be sure he's the one going home.
• Of course, if Jessica doesn't step in and do something to save Ramses, Josh will be staying. 
• But, under no circumstances will he ever win this game. He won't make it to the Final Two and, if pigs fly and he does -- no jury would vote for him to win pretty much no matter who's at the end with him.
• That's it for now.
• The PoV Meeting will be today. Hopefully Jessica will save Ramses. I think he's the one I'd rather see in the house over Josh.
• Oh, Josh is good for kerfuffles and even a brouhaha, but in his down time he's practically non-existent. 

No one gets between me and my cat ears!

They deserve each other

Definitely the better player than Cody

Is very concerned he will go home
