BB19: Live Feeds into Saturday Early Evening, PoV - July 22

Bunny Cam!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of a New Power of Veto Winner:

• I'm really liking the animals for adoption they're using when the feeds are blocked! Smart thinking on the part of someone.
• The veto players were picked this morning. In addition to Josh, Ramses and Jessica we have Christmas, Cody and Jason.
• Believe it or not, Cody did NOT win the PoV!
• Ha!
• A girl beat him.
• JESSICA holds the Power of Veto and is the HoH who made the nominations of Josh and Ramses.
• Is it a Backdoor Plan in motion?
• Surprisingly, it doesn't seem to be.
• Cody and Jessica talked about how Josh needs to go, dating back to the rumored peeping at the girls in the shower incident.
• Cody told Mark he's safe.
• Jessica says she's not going to change the nominations.
• Perhaps they're thinking this one through and realize that they might not have the votes to oust Paul.
• If I were in the house, I'd want to work to get Paul out. Cody screwed up by not working with people before.
• Of course, things can change between now and when the Veto Meeting goes down on Monday.
• We'll have to see. But it does look like we'll probably be bidding adieu to Man-Child Josh.

I just don't get indoor sunglasses

Oh my gosh. Is he guffawing?

Kevin isn't a target ... for now.

BB19: Live Feeds into Saturday - July 22

What am I doing in this handbasket?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Recycled Hamsters:

• From my last brief update, you know: Jessica won HoH, Ramses and Josh are on the block.
• Blocked to the live feeds, Christmas played in the HoH comp and apparently actually did quite well.
• Not as well as Jessica, mind you.
• Paul might not be the backdoor plan -- it just might be Mark.
• Cody says he wasn't shown his goodbye messages but Alex and Christmas are concerned. 
• I doubt they showed them to the Sequestered Four as it would affect the game if they went back in.
• Paul held a Friendship Chat.
• Gah.
• They gathered and talked romance, love, dates, biggest fears, etc.
• Ramses hasn't found the one and doubts he ever will.
• Kevin told him he was still young.
• Yep, 21 is barely out of childhood.
• Even Cody and Jessica participated in the Chat.
• For a few moments, Cody had a personality. Then it went away again and he sat quietly staring.
• Later in the HoH room, Jessica told Cody they shouldn't isolate themselves this time around.
• Cody balked saying that he didn't want others to run his game.
• Hasn't he learned a lesson?
• Cody was telling Jessica about his mother referring to his father as "Daddy" and treating him like a child. He must have said, "I've killed people." at least three times. Is he proud of that? Hmm.
• Raven claims that she's a MENSA member. @@
• Josh and Jason were thrilled when midnight came along and they could chow down. Two weeks on slop is rough!
• A side note: I wish they'd bring back the old food comps they used to have where the entire house has to win the food for the week. It's better than slop and that was a comp they used to air on the live feeds! Are you hearing me, Allison Grodner? Food comps rock!
• Mark thinks that Jessica has made it clear that she wants Josh to go home this week.
• I didn't see her really indicate that. I know others want to keep him.
• The dude does have issues, but so does Mark.
• So there you go. It SOUNDS like Mark might be the replacement if one of the nominees comes off the block. It SOUNDS like Paul is getting along with Jessica and Cody.
• But I won't be making any wagers. 

Dancing for the camera

Mr. Personality is back

Ramses hasn't found love

Sharing a moment

Scooting around the house

BB19: Live Feeds - HoH and Nominations Blurb - July 22

Kitty Cam

This is going to be quite brief as I have to get up for work in the morning. Here's what's happening in the Big Brother House of Showmance Reunions:

• Jessica won the HoH.
• So, she and Cody have the room once again.
• Blech.
• Josh is on the block. According to what Paul told Jessica and Cody, he's in his room crying.
• Paul thanked Cody and Jessica for their honesty and commented it was like his HoH.
• Hmm. Backdoor plan?
• Everyone seems to be getting along fine.
• Ah, Ramses is the second nomination.
• Christmas is talking to Matt about keeping Josh and getting rid of Ramses.
• Of course, we know that she's been working Josh.
• Now, nothing will be certain until after the veto comp.

Backdoor plan?

Gag me now is back

Not taking his nomination well.

BB19: Battle Back Episode Blog Party - July 21

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! 

Who will make it back into the house? Cameron? Jillian? Cody? Or Dominique?

Three battles ahead of us. we're getting a brief recap of each of their exits.

Oh my ... they just said they have to win an "epic showdown" against someone in the house to return. We'll have to see how "epic" we think it is! 

Julie is wearing pants, but not jeans tonight.

No guarantee anyone is returning to the house (according to Julie). 

They are in Evictionville, must win three competitions. Top two advance, two go home. Next round, one goes home. Third comp, challenger from the house. The house will vote to send someone. If house challenger wins, all go home. 

Cameron has been studying the table maze in front of him as Julie talked. The others are looking at Julie. Hmm. 

Maze Race, rope and pulley system to move ball through the maze. 

Cody wins the first spot to move on! Yay! Cameron is going to the next round! He deserves a shot in the game. Dominique and Jillian are going home.

Second Battle - Billboard Bashers - catapult balls at the ten panels of their billboards. First one with all ten bashed wins. Cody wins. Cameron will be going home. Sigh. He really deserved to have more than 12 hours in the house. I didn't care for him, but he got screwed.

Cody gets to pick one of the two challenges they just did, but with changes, to compete against the house challenger. He picks Maze Race (with a different maze). Had he taken the tougher Basher challenge, the billboard would have been rotating. 

Julie gathers all the hamsters in the living room. She tells them it's the Battle Back Showdown and that the four haven't gone home. One has earned the opportunity. She tells them they'll find out in due time who it is. 

Jessica tries to tell an upset Mark that he's fine if Cody comes back. Paul isn't happy. Alex isn't happy, either. 

Julie calls them all together again. She tells them the twist -- they can stop the evicted houseguest from returning. Diary Room vote to elect House Challenger. She isn't telling them it will be up against Cody. After the vote, she'll tell them. They cannot vote for themselves.

Alex -- Paul
Elena - Paul
They're all voting Paul. 

Veteran against veteran, they say.

Heading to the backyard. Cody appears in a huge puff of smoke. 

Cody wins the Battle Back Showdown and he's back in the game.

Cody tells us he wants to take Paul out. 

Julie tells them the HoH comp will start soon.

BB19: Live Eviction, DoT and HoH Show Blog Party - July 20

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! 

Here are the blog pool match-ups for easy reference tonight --

Raven Walton - Kristen from Ohio, David, Nora

Hamster watchers ready?

Yikes! Julie is so ... so ... casually dressed tonight! I don't believe I've ever seen her in jeans.

Let's have a recap! Not here, though. We know what happened during the last week. We had a snippet of the Mark/Josh pickle juice/hot sauce in the face kerfuffle. More to come!

The DoT could stop tonight's live eviction cold, Julie promises.

Dominique stomped out of the Veto meeting. Jessica thinks it just makes her own situation better. Dom thinks her entire team backstabbed her and they would do anything for the money ... but she won't.

Dominique vented at Elena and Elena just wants her out. Mark feels in the middle. Jessica is trying to get in with the others. They're leery, but want Dominique out more.

Yay! The pickle juice/hot sauce fiasco with Josh and Mark. Josh thinks he won the pool game. Mark said he double-hit, scratching on the 8-ball. So Mark throws a glass of pickle juice and hot sauce in Josh's face and eyes. Josh attacks him with salad dressing and ketchup, but not in the eyes. Yell, yell, scream, scream.

Josh yells that Mark tried to get Paul out. He claims he lost all respect for Mark. Everyone gathers. Josh says Mark was plotting against both Christmas and Paul. Josh says he himself has always been honest. Jessica brings up that Josh said he wanted Christmas out. Now Paul thinks Jessica is shady. 

The final Den of Temptation -- Halting Hex. JESSICA wins! She can halt any one of the next four evictions. She accepts the temptation.

Eviction night dies. She has to say the lines three times and there will be no eviction. The consequence seems to be sending the house into a tailspin ... or something like that.

Time for the live vote and eviction. To the living room ...

Jessica - Hi to family and Cody. Not ready to leave, have game left in me.
Dominique - Quotes her speech, own team betrayed me, grateful to CBS, on and on. 

Votes to evict --
Josh - Dominique
Kevin - Dominique
Mark - Dominique
Christmas - Dominique
Jason - Dominique
Raven - Dominique
Matt - Dominique
Elena - Dominique
Paul - Dominique 
Ramses - Dominique

Unanimous. Dominique is gone and Jessica has three more evictions in which she can choose to use the hex once. 

Surprisingly, she's very excited about the Battle Back. Hmm. 

Julie talks to the four first evicted who will be competing to come back in. 

It's getting too late to have the HoH Comp, so I'm guessing (since Julie hasn't announced it) that the four will compete in a combined HoH comp which will air tomorrow night. The feeds are off until midnight tomorrow. 

I'm wrong. Three battles for the Battle Back tomorrow, HoH Sunday. And, Jessica's temptation consequence will be revealed. Hmm.

BB19: Live Feeds into Thursday - July 20

Dysfunctional family

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dominique Who?:

• Dominique is still self-exiled.
• If she had sunglasses and a blanket, she could be Audrey.
• She actually appeared in the wee hours and talked to Jessica. She also practiced her speech for tonight. Ramses was there in the bathroom but she paid him no mind.
• She told Jessica that she didn't receive the temptation in the DoT.
• Dominique told Jessica she's sure she (Dom) will be voted out. 
• Well, duh. 
• She also told Jessica her real job.
• And, she told Jessica that Cody had the right idea with his strategy.
• I took it that means to target the snake er ... Paul.
• Jason agreed he'd throw the HoH to Josh if he can.
• Hmm. I kind of doubt that will happen. But, of course, they know Josh would target Mark and that blood would be on his hands, not theirs.
• So, maybe.
• They're still trying to decide who took the initial 25 grand temptation. Now Alex and Jason think it was that rat Ramses.
• Snakes and rats. All we need is Susan Hawk (Survivor 1) to come along with her snake and rat speech!
• At least tonight's eviction, HoH and into the Battle Back tomorrow should liven things up a little.
• Out of the Battle Back, I'd actually -- though I didn't really like him -- like to see Cameron come back in. I feel he was cheated out of his chance to be in the house and he's had plenty of time to think about strategy. I think it will be down to between Cody and Cameron. I feel Cody already had his shot, Cameron never did. I can't see either Jillian or Dominique winning. With her attitude of the past several days, I can't see Dominique even trying to get back in. I can see her running away as fast as she can!

Exciting times

On the radar

Their own show, sans Dominique

The stars?

Poor choice of facial masque

BB19: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - July 19

Showmance

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Lonesome Losers:

• I don't have anything for you.
• Nothing is really going on.
• That's it.
• Bye!
• Ahem.
• To be honest, little has been happening.
• They had the Den of Temptation today and whoever won isn't talking to either them or us.
• So, there's a lot of speculation on that.
• There's also a lot of speculation that there will be a battle back this week.
• They're correct on that, as we know.
• Some are saying that Paul is cozying up to Jessica in case Cody returns.
• Paul claims he wouldn't want to work with someone he backdoored.
• They not only feel someone will return this week, but that next week is a double eviction.
• Hmm.
• Mark hasn't done anything incredibly stupid today ... yet.
• Dominique says she wants to host a show tonight.
• No one really wants to go.
• Paul wants people to make Jessica feel a bit nervous about the vote tomorrow.
• But that's going to be hard because Dominique has now alienated everyone and isolated herself.
• The time stamp on the BB live feeds is way off.
• But I know what time it is.
• Christmas led some exercises. Her new cast is still bulky but not AS bulky.
• Kevin is antsy with no yard. He thinks it's cruel of BB.
• Ramses thinks Jessica is going around trying to make him look sketchy.
• I really don't have much more.
• I have no more.
• Later! 

Not a showmance

She's got her cat ears back.

Definitely won't win this season.

"I've never lied in this game."

BB19: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 19

As tonight's show airs, I'll be live-blogging and updating this entry -- refresh the page to get the latest. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Recap ends with the promise of showing the Dominique/Paul verbal smackdown from the other day. Woot. 

Paul wants Dominique out. She won't talk to him. But she talks to Mark -- telling him Paul is involved, and Elena is, too. Tears time. She cries while she talks to him. He cries as he talks to us in the Diary Room. He assures her she won't go home.

She goes to the bathroom to talk to God. She hears Paul's name three times (in her mind). Paul is there when she comes out. She tells him one person really wants her out. He tells her that he hopes she would come to him and ask if she has an issue with him. He told her she can trust him. 

Time for the veto players pick! Alex randomly picks Kevin. Dominique picks Christmas. Jessica get's Houseguest's Choice and selects Jason. 

Jason wants to take Jessica down if he wins veto. He thinks it's too risky to leave her on the block. Dominique is his target. She is actually THE target for all but Mark. 

Veto Comp is on! Squirrels and balance beam things. The Temple of Temptation. Christmas's doctor forbids her from playing. She must sit out and isn't replaced. They go back and forth on a beam 50 times over "lava" -- score resets if they fall. A cash prize can be had, but would eliminate the person from competing. Kevin is doing horribly! He ends up taking the temptation. He wins a whole $27.

Heh.

Jason is leading. Dom falls on the beam itself, but recovers before hitting the lava. Jessica doesn't fare as well with her fall and resets. Whoops, Dominique hits the lava! She resets. Alex and Jason were tied at 49 each when Jason beats her on the last ding. Jason wins the Power of Veto!

Paul wants Mark up in Jessica's place via Jason's PoV. He suggests to Alex to put Mark up as a pawn -- that way he can't campaign to oust Jessica and a vote to keep Dom would be gone. Paul goes around campaigning to Jason with the idea. Paul acts like it's Alex and Jason's plan and agrees with it.

Alex tells Mark she wants to put him up as a pawn. She tells him others are worried about his vote. He doesn't like the idea. He tells us his "best friend" (Dom) is on the block and now they want him to go on the block with her. They tell him Dominique is the target.

Dominique thinks that if she tells Jason there's a snake in the house, he'll save her with the veto. So, she talks to him, telling him she's been betrayed. She won't name the name of the snake. He tells Mark, Elena, Paul and Alex.

Then Dominique talks in riddles about snakes to Alex. She calims there is a snake and tempter. It's all a bit bizarre. She tells Alex she wants to tell everybody about it.

Alex tells Paul that she was talking about him. Meeting time! Paul slithers downstairs to get her.  She tells him he does have snake tendencies. The kerfuffle is afoot! 

Mark, after the Dom/Paul verbal kerfuffle, tells Alex and Jason that he will not support Dominique and, if they need to put a pawn up, please put up Raven.

Veto meeting. Paul dresses up like a snake.

Jessica - Picked you to play, still wants to be in house.
Dominique - Framed by my own team, snake in house dressed appropriately, minions will reap what they sow. Won't work with my team because they stabbed me in my back. 

Jason does NOT use the Power of Veto.

BB19: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - July 18

Compact, but mighty.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Nuthin' Goin' On:

• No brouhahas, no kerfuffles, no nuthin' going on today.
• The most interesting news is the scrolling banner on top of the feeds window which says the feeds will be down "longer than usual" at the end of this week and touting the televised Battle Back on Friday.
• Mark still thinks throwing the pickle juice and hot sauce in Josh's face (and eyes) is just a harmless prank.
• Jason would like to win HoH and oust Christmas. He thinks she makes him feel guilty about her accident.
• I really haven't seen that.
• I think it might be his own conscience that's making him feel guilty.
• Christmas went to the Diary Room and came out with a new black cast and optimistic news from the doctor, saying she's recovering extremely well.
• It's more of a walking cast and she's getting around much better with it.
• Ramses and Paul tried to befriend and catch a large moth in the yard.
• It's like Dominique doesn't live there anymore already. I'll admit I didn't watch every moment of the live feeds -- I have to work for a living and this blog certainly doesn't pay my bills. But I always scout all over the feeds through flashback to get these reports posted and the screencaps up. I didn't see her but once on the feeds. I think she stayed sleeping/exiled herself all day.
• Eek! Christmas's crutch slipped on something on the kitchen floor and she fell. She's fine, though. They don't really need any more injuries in the house.
• I really don't have much more for you.
• Hmm.
• I've got something! At one point Kevin called Jason "Josh." Jason told him that he can remember every little thing but his name.
• Now, that's exciting, right?
• No?
• Okay ... maybe tomorrow will bring a new kerfuffle ... 

Daily walking laps in the yard.

More gruel, please.

Picked at his shoulders last year, too.

Handling things quite well

And then her jaw dropped

BB19: Live Feeds into Tuesday, Food Fight Kerfuffle - July 18

Smiles

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Food Fights:

• I got my feeds running late last night and immediately checked out the heated food kerfuffle that happened in the afternoon.
• It all started over a disagreement on double-hitting a ball on the pool table.
• Josh claimed he won the game despite double-hitting the ball because Mark always double hits the ball. The bet they had made was: if Mark lost, he'd drink a glass of hot sauce and pickle juice.
• After much back and forth, Elena told Mark he should throw it on Josh. She immediately said she was joking and it was a bad idea.
• Instead, Mark only listened to the suggestion -- he tossed the hot sauce and pickle juice combination right in Josh's face.
• Ow! Rightfully, Josh was very upset. He ran to flush his burning eyes and they looked very inflamed on the feeds. He wasn't making up the pain.
• How stupid is Mark to do this? It was a silly thing to do had he just thrown it on Josh's chest or something ... but in his face? 
• Josh ended up squirting salad dressing and ketchup all over Mark ... but not aimed at his face.
• Mark was chided by the others for the initial attack and agreed he would apologize. But he was a bit like a petulant child pouting about it.
• Then Josh didn't want to accept his apology.
• Thankfully, Josh's eyes seem okay. 
• But now we have two huge little boys at war in the house.
• Paul told Alex that Josh is such a loose cannon in these types of scenarios that they need to keep him in there a long time to do their dirty work.
• Mark thinks that Josh over-reacted to the hot sauce and pickle juice. But I bet it really did burn in his eyes. I won't be experimenting to see how much it would burn!
• Mark likens it to fooling around with friends and a baby powder fight they had a few days before.
• But, before he did it, Mark steamed and steamed. I guess it was lucky he didn't do something more violent.
• His own friends tried to tell him that he had gone too far. But he wasn't hearing them. After all, it was all in fun. Right? No! And, he just doesn't get it.
• Now he wants Josh out next week.
• But, as I mentioned before -- Paul thinks they need to keep Josh in for a while.
• In actual tomfoolery, Matt accidentally poked Raven in the eye.
• "They're never going to give us alcohol," claimed Alex.
• Remember, it was tomfoolery which caused Christmas's injury! Tomfoolery can be dangerous!
• Josh thinks Raven is always bad-talking him -- Dominique told him the shower peeping claims .
• He had a long teary talk with Dominique ... who smiled all the way through his tears.
• No, she wasn't being cruel. She just always has that condescending smile when dealing with small children. She was actually sympathetic.
• Alex and Jason know it was Kevin with the hinky vote. They are not happy.
• But it still will be Dominique paying the price.
• Dominique also reached out to Mark, offering to be a shoulder to lean on after the rough day.
• He turned her down, but was irked when Elena questioned him about why Dominique talked to him.
• Oh, geez ... 

Tears

Smiles while talking to crying Josh

Not going anywhere this week

We need to keep Josh in here!

BB19: Live Feeds Brief, PoV Meeting - July 17

I seem to be having some issues with accessing my live feeds tonight. But I wanted to let you know that Jason did NOT use the veto.

Dominique and Jessica remain on the block.

It's still Dominique who should be going home Thursday.

BB19: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - July 17

In with the In Crowd? Not really, but ...

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Eventual Evictions:

• Similar to the daytime, not all that much went on during the overnight hours.
• Dominique almost might as well be gone.
• She was apparently in bed early and I didn't see her hanging out with anyone.
• She sure was (trash) talked about enough to be present in thoughts!
• Alex told Josh that he wasn't the target in the beginning. It wasn't until he took the Golden Apple in the comp and yelled at a girl that he became one.
• She said he isn't a target now.
• And, he isn't. 
• But that doesn't mean he's really in with the In Crowd. 
• They plan to use him.
• Josh and Ramses told Alex they trust Paul.
• Silly boys. Oh, not for saying it. That's probably smart right now. But hopefully they don't really trust Paul any further than Ramses can throw Paul.
• Ramses told Alex that Dominique's been acting sketchy towards him all week and he's pretty sure she was the other vote to keep him.
• Alex said that she doesn't think the vote was Dominique's and she put her up because of other things.
• They agreed that Dominique has been sketchy and is a smart player.
• I say, she's obviously not as smart a player as Paul!
• If this continues, Paul will be taking candy from babies and the babies will ask their mothers to get them more candy for him to take.
• Elena and Jason are pretty sure Kevin was the hinky vote.
• But will any repercussions occur? I don't think so. At least, not right now.
• Mark and Elena tried to talk Jason into not using the veto as they know Mark will go on the block (as a pawn).
• But we all know Jason will do whatever Alex wants him to do with the veto.
• She hasn't told Jason who will go up, but she has told him to save Jessica.
• Whether he uses it or not, it will be Dominique going home this week.  

Laughs in the yard

Kitchen talk

Bromance? Nope!

I think Dom was the vote for me

BB19: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - July 16

Jessica has Alex's cat ears

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bored Bores:

• One thing I forgot to mention in my last feeds report -- Alex told Paul they need to keep an eye on Kevin because, after all, when he's not in the BB house, he's a thug. She said she likes him, but they need to be aware  of him.
• Paul at first defended Kevin, then agreed to keep his eyes open.
• Today, after the dust from the kerfuffle settled, was uneventful.
• Oh, little stuff here and there, but ... YAWN!
• Matt and Raven talked about how it might be best if Christmas leaves the house sooner rather than later. It's not a great environment for healing and it might end up being detrimental to their own games, especially if they need to depend on her to win a PoV comp or such.
• Alex and Jason both said that Jessica lied to them about Raven. They've decided that Josh and Jessica are psychopaths.
• Say what?
• Then they talked about how they'd like it if Josh won HoH because he'd put Raven and Matt on the block.
• These hamsters are all over the place!
• Christmas is still wanting to clarity the Dominque situation.
• Mark told her not to poke the bear.
• Mark is still hoping Jason won't use the PoV because he knows he'll be on the block with Dominique.
• Dominique talked to Jessica. She mentioned God a lot and said he talks to her. 
• She claims she heard "Paul, Paul, Paul."
• Oh my.
• Was it followed by: "Snake, Tempter, Infiltrator"?
• I figured out part of why Dominique comes across to me as condescending in these talks. She smiles all the time while being upset, serious and not in smiling kind of situations. I find that kind of odd, kind of creepy and definitely condescending as if she's talking to a small child.
• Paul told Alex that Jason needs to use the PoV -- Mark has been talking to Dominique a lot, plus will campaign to vote out Jessica instead of Dominique.
• He advised Alex not to tell Jason the planned renom.
• Dominique talked to us about Paul disrespecting her "father" - God and taking over all of the others.
• Hey, if any of them had bothered watching last year's show, he was the person who really deserved to win. If they're just using him now, fine. If they fall for him, he will deserve to win again.
• Boring little critters today in the house ...  

Matt is just kind of there this season

The smiling while angry is disturbing

Secret hand codes? Nah.
