Tonight should be a very exciting episode of Big Brother 19! First it marks the end of Paul’s three weeks of safety. I’d say he did a fantastic job of endearing himself to the entire cast with his fantastic social game. Only Jason, Dom and to some degree Jessica, have figured out he is playing the entire house. Also tonight, the Halting Hex comes into place. The allows the person who was tempted to Halt an eviction at any time over the next four weeks. I’m hoping that either Dom or Jessica or Mark have it. I would love to see all of Paul’s fans fall apart. He’s had it too easy with this year’s nimrods. For anyone else, it is guaranteed safety and they will save it for themselves.
In live feeds news, The feeds are off until midnight Friday night. They don’t want tomorrow night’s Battle Back episodes spoiled. Also, just before production, Paul seemed to be exhibiting signs of “DR enlightenment” and for some reason he was talking about flipping the vote to vote out Jessica at the last minute. I think it’s unlikely that will happen, but it would be interesting.
What the hell is Julie Chen wearing? I don’t think I have ever seen her in faded jeans and a peace necklace! WTF?
I finally see the shot where Josh is accused of scratching on the eight ball. He didn’t really scratch. Mark accuses him of double hitting the eight ball, which he claims is a scratch. I didn’t see that happen either. This caused a HUGE blow up that went on and on for a couple of hours. Mark threw pickle juice and hot sauce in Josh’s face. It burned his eyes. Then Josh went after Mark with ketchup and mayo and Mark got physical with Josh.
Dom has her going home dress on. So I don’t think she has the hex. Dammit, man. In other fashion news, Matt has two shirts. The orange tank top and the plain blue t-shirt. That is it.
Jessica won the Halting Hex. I think because she felt safe she was not going to use it. Production wants her to use it because the use of it sets off the Battle Back. So they probably said something to Paul to make him consider flipping. If enough people started talking about it, she will definitely use it tonight.
I really hope she does. Dom has some batshit crazy feed discussions with God, and Mark. Plus, she is gunning for Paul. Dam! She didn’t use it. Now she will have it if she needs to save Cody. EVERYONE, even Mark voted to evict Dom.
Okay so production isn’t going to do the traditional battle back. Also we didn’t get an HOH tonight. Now I am DYING to see tomorrow’s show!
I’m only here for Jessica, Mark and Josh and hopefully Cody or Dominique comes back in. Fuck the rest of them fake hoes ✌️
I’m confused about the pool game. I don’t play pool so I’m unclear about the rules. But I did see Josh double hit the white ball. IF that constitutes a scratch then Josh lost. If it’s ok to double hit the white ball then Josh won. I personally think mark won because I think it shouldn’t be ok to be double hit the white ball. Any pool players here that can shed some light on this matter??
Josh hit the ball twice, you cant do that he lost pure and simple.
It’s not okay to double-hit the cue ball. (from US Pool Players Association rules…..7.9 Double Hit – If the cue tip strikes the cue ball twice on the same stroke, it is a ball in hand foul.) However, a ball in hand doesn’t equal a scratch. Josh should have turned the ball over to Mark to place where he wanted and the game would continue. Mark was wrong that a double-hit on the cue ball, whether shooing the 8-ball or any other ball, results in a loss of game.
Didn’t the 8 ball go into the pocket? If it did, then Josh loses on the double hit foul.
Yes, the ball went in. He clearly double tapped. He lost.
Thanks for clearing this up. They have been complaining about someone double hitting all week. I didn’t understand they were talking about the cue ball. I like to play pool, but usually we play in a pool hall while drinking and no one is this goddamn serious about tournament rules.
How convenient that Paul has a snake suit . Producer Alison’s Golden boy will be in the top 2 , I guarantee you. At least some non staged drama came out tonight ( I think ). Josh is a drama queen, sore loser , short fuse all in one . Another season of Aspiring actors/models fighting for attention .
Production might as well be on camera too with how much they interfere with this show. There is no way Jessica should have gotten the Hex if the votes came from “America.” Social media was on fire from Paul’s blackface comment and people just knew it was going to Dom. This show is rigged and they don’t try and hide it.
If Dom is really off, I’m not watching it anymore. She was the only reason I was watching it. Game of Thrones, Insecure and Power are back on. I can fill my time with those shows and Orphan Black ✌?
Production interference is part of the game. Good players, and superfans know how to get around it. They can heavily influence a lot of stuff. But you can still get around them.
Yeah….I don’t know anyone who is really rooting for Jessica to win. I was rooting for Alex and Dom in the beginning but Alex just let herself be manipulated by Paul, bought what he said lock, stock and barrel! Jeeze where are these “super fans” brains! I am also pissed at Mark for voting against Dom…..can anyone be loyal? (yes I heard his bullshit reasoning).
Alot of people REALLY hate Paul, therefore, they want to help Cody. With Cody out temporarily, they voted for Jessica.
[Tamra Judge] THAT IS MY OPINION!!! [/Tamra Judge]
I’m not only in the dark about whether Paul is really finished with his three weeks of safety starting now, but also if he succeeded in his (possible) lie to the other houseguests that he’s still safe because his week as HoH didn’t count.
His 3 weeks of safety are done. He has convinced Alex and Jason and possibly others that he has one more week.
We’ll see if production lets him get away with that.
TT, I know this Christmas situation I’m not able to get over, but do you agree, mentally, she has an advantage by outside contact with physical therapy, or doctor? OR, is it no big deal cause she probably can not win?
Oh my goodness. I am so glad that I am Pacific time I don’t have to wait till 8:00 to know what happens tonight, lol.
I am really hoping two HG’s return in the Battle Back, preferably Dom and Cody. They to come in and shake things up, I am so over the Paul show!
I need the feeds back!!!
I agree about the feeds!!!
Wouldn’t it be great if ALL four went back, and a eviction happened..
Scratch that thought, makes no sense, lol.
Ooooh They totally could let two back in this year since they are dropping like flies. Cody is the reason that Dom was evicted. It would be funny if those two teamed up going back in. But I don’t think Cody will team up with a female. Not even Jessica. Before he left he already had a plan for who was going to take out Jessice and the other FEMALES in showmances.
That’s true, hunh, that Meghan quit. Can you imagine Cody coming back and not keeping Jessica, lol.
I’m so shocked that there isn’t a guy or girl alliance.
These girls could probably get rid of the guys, they are really emotional this season.
I’m still a lot confused watching feeds, but they are great for reality and people watching.
The guys always pick off the girls first. The girls help them do it.
They always do, drives me crazy! I am really hoping for a female final 2.
That will never happen. 90% of women will take a guy to final 2. The guys pick a sex partner and then eliminate all the other women.
Raven is already DYING to get Jessica out because Matt thinks she’s pretty.
Happens EVERY YEAR.
The past few seasons, but not this season, there have been female superfans who come in and TRY for an all girls alliance. But some of the girls always attach to a guy and tell them everything.
I keep hearing people talk about how Paul shouldn’t be in the game because he’s a vet & saying it’s the Paul show. I feel the need to remind them that the only reason he is in the game is because a newbie took a 25k temptation & the resulting curse put Paul in the game. Whether or not they would have found a way to get him in the house had someone not taken that first temptation, I don’t know, but it seems a little bit ridiculous to watch a show whose motto is “expect the unexpected” & then whine like someone is forcing you to watch when a twist is thrown in. So many snowflakes in the middle of summer!
The only reason for the $25K prize, something they have never done before, was so there would be a reason for Paul to enter the house. I think the person who took the $25K should have had to leave.
Being that it’s a game, I sort of love that Kevin took the 25k and is being low-key enough that he’s not putting too big a target on his back. His whole persona is kind of funny to me and I wish people weren’t starting to figure out his sneaky votes. I love Paul, but I’ve gone from wanting him to win, to hoping maybe Kevin uses his grandpa routine & accidentally makes it to the end. I almost think he knew who Nicole was when she came in but played it off like he was clueless. One last thing, did it bother anyone that Dominique & Cody were over there whispering about what’s been going on when the 4 were on stage talking about Battle Back? I don’t think they should be able to share that information, they should have to go in blindly if the win the Battle Back. I also don’t understand how Cody is shocked that Dominique left when he specifically planted seeds about Mark & Dom before he left, does he think nobody remembers that?
I believe that Kevin knows exactly how this game his played. His daughters are huge fans. If they watch, he watches. Also I am sure he watched last season in sequester like everyone else, so he knew damn well who Nicole was.
His ONLY mistake was tell Paul he took the money. Paul will use that against him later.
That’s interesting cause I believe it was the Sunday before last, Matt and Kevin were in the kitchen early morning making coffee and kinda laughing about Kevin only ever seeing a couple episodes, and Matt said he has only seen one season, so they don’t know what is going on. It was as if they were clueless about what they were doing and thought it was funny.
Without your posts etc. TT. I’d have no idea RH of anywhere wasn’t real. That’s why I would suck so bad at Big Brother, or Survivor. I can’t lie at all, and expect everyone is telling me the truth. Perhaps that’s why I’m having a hard time keeping up.
ARE THE HOUSE GUESTS REALLY THAT DUMB? PAUL IS PLAYING THEM. I THINK MOST OF THEM ARE SO LAZY THEY EVEN PLAY LAZY
That’s why I want Paul out. I want these people to start playing! I voted for Jess, everyone else is playing for Paul and I am bored. Ready for paranoia and gaming.
Tami for celebrity BB would be everything!!!
THIS IS RIGGED….NO WAY WOULD AMERICA WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR JESS TO GET ANYTHING…
I used to say “the game isn’t rigged.. they just have a lot of social science phd’s (marketing, psychology, sociology, etc) that know how to read people and what the audience wants, and ‘guide’ challenges and things to favor certain folks (folks that they know the audience will love, or love to hate.. folks that cause drama and get audience tuning in).”
But, with Cody causing a lot of drama before leaving, what would have been the best for ratings? Cody to come back.
And, what would have made that even more spectacular for ratings? Paul having to challenge Cody for the right to come back.
And Cody won, and I’m sure ratings were through the roof as the “battle of the Alphas” was the pinnacle of spectacle that could have drawn the most people to watch. And they got that. Gee.. what a coincidence.
Then Jessica gets the temptation. Really? Really?!
What would have been better then Cody coming back into the game? For Jessica (another drama producing player) to have no chance to leave.
Yet another coincidence.
Now… I’m not going to out-right say the game is rigged. But, the comps seemed to be designed to heavily favor Cody.
And… I’m not going to say the game is out-right rigged… but, fans seem to really want Jessica to stay in order to stir up more drama. (B/c when she has power, she becomes a royal beach.)
But, from a pure business / production side of things… this is exactly the outcome you’d want. And I’m guessing it’s what the fans do too (if they did in fact overwhelmingly vote to tempt Jessica).
Who wants to tune into a show that’s boring witha bunch of boring players just sitting around? Nobody.
The production staff works hard to interview folks to load the house up with clashing personalities, then gives it a good shake to get the dominoes toppling… and then I feel they just guide it some… but don’t out-right rig anything.
People want to tune in for drama, showmances, battle of egos, bulging muscles, sexy girls having cat fights… just deplorable behaviour to watch.. b/c it’s a pressure valve for them since they can’t act like that in their real lives. They love tuning in to watch people act like that and live vicariously through them.
Honestly, if the show offered a vote to murder one of the cast.. I’m pretty sure fans would vote to murder someone in cold blood, b/c the fans seem to want to vote based on what causes the most drama or what makes them sit at home and go “omg, no she didn’t! omg, no he didn’t!” omg, drama, drama, drama… tune me in for some drama!”
I predict in about 20 years time CBS will just get rid of all pretenses and just give us a “Death Race” like show where peoples lives are on the line… b/c people lvoe tuning into these drama, reality, scare-factor shows.
I’ll tell ya one thing. If I were in that house I damn sure would have murdered Josh in cold blood by now! Lol
AND WHY DO THE BLACK WOMEN ALWAYS GET VOTED OUT SO EARLY IN THE GAME? REMEMBER DAVONNE ON TWO SEASONS GOT VOTED OUT EARLY NOW DOM…WELL DAMN!!!
WE NEED TO GET TAMI ROMAN UP IN THIS HOUSE LOL
Please stop shouting.
My apologies tamaratattles
Thanks! I prefer to do all the shouting around here. 🙂
A very prominent forum site plus Big BB podcast were campaigning for votes for Jessica. They’re now bragging they got her that hex. So it possibly wasn’t rigged
DaVonne was an idiot.
She went into the game acting like she was Queen B that everyone needed to come up to and talk game to her. She made a couple of friends, but she didn’t work any kind of social game. She was stand-offish and clashed with a lot of people, acting judgemental of everyone. So, not many folks wanted to work with her.
Then she got caught lying.
For some stupid reason she thought that if she lied then it would help her game.
In BB, you can’t lie unless you have a majority house team in on it (and the other side of the house doesn’t know the truth to call you out on) or you tell a half-truth (like you agree to some part of what someone is saying but don’t say anything to deny or claim the other part).
When a person lies on their own.. it always… ALWAYS circulates the house and they get called out on it. B/c there are so many people who will hear it and just go “nope… we’re getting to the bottom of this” and just confront the person.
She got confronted and found to be a liar, and that pretty much was the final cinder of her burned bridges tossed in the river.
There was that other black lady that was a preacher… she was annoying. She made friends, but she wasn’t good at physical comps, had to sit out on one or two (I think) b/c she was very sick (I think she had the flu or something.. not sure why the BB staff didn’t step in). She wasn’t a good competitor, but she’d walk around and talk and preach like she was on top of the game. It got on peoples’ nerves. She was also sided with James and others on the weak side of the house. So, they all just got picked off one by one, b/c they didn’t get in with the strong side of the house.
As for BB19’s black woman… she’s a really smart lady, and I was totally rooting for her. I was like “finally, they don’t have a black lady that seems like some kind of stereotype (DaVonne was a bit ghetto / snappy fingers attitude stereotype, and the other lady was all “gospel, god bless, god’s will be done” stereotype).
BB19’s lady is an engineer, smart, well-spoken, really a class act.
But, she got caught in some of Paul’s scheming or something, and couldn’t get her way out. After a few of her “live talk show” sessions in the couch room got too uncomfortable for a lot of people, Paul rode those flames to tell folks that she was using those sessions to dig dirt up on people to use against them. Folsk bought into it. Kind of sneaky on Paul’s part… but, instead of going around quietly and asking around and doing some detective work… what did she do?
She decdied to just get super-offended at the claims and start thinking that if she was just sassy enough then people would take her seriously. Instead, they just thought it affirmed what Paul was saying… and they want her gone.
Honestly, they shuold have gotten rid of Jessica… but, Jessica was smart enough to keep her big mouth shut while Dominique had all the attention on her.
So, it’s not really a “why are all the black chicks getting voted off early”… it’s really just the personalities.
The game is not designed to favor strong personalities… DaVonne was a very independant woman.. and the game doesn’t favor that. The preacher chick was… really preachy and sided with the wrong side… game doesn’t favor that.. Dominique is also a strong independant woman that doesn’t like people lying about her… but the game doesn’t favor “I’m not going to talk to you, b/c I think you’re lying about me” as a way to handle that sort of thing. So, she got voted off.
Why can’t these people see that Paul is manipulating them. They all seen last season. Alex is a smart person but evidently stupid. They all should step up and play the game before Paul wins. He had his chance last year.

I only watched BBAD last night. Do we know who Jessica’s real target is?
