Big Brother 19 — It’s Over!

by Lisa Marie Bowman on September 20, 2017

Okay, it’s time for the finale of Big Brother 19! I will be writing and watching at the same time, so that I can post this as soon as the finale is over with. Please be aware that there will be typos! That’s just the way it goes sometimes. And, of course, if you haven’t seen the finale yet, this post counts as one big spoiler!

7:01 pm — We start off with a quick recap of how Paul, Christmas, and Josh came to be the final three. It’s fun to watch Matt, Jason, Raven, and Alex all getting voted out again. It’s less fun to see Kevin going. They’re tying to convince us that Josh might take a shot at Paul if he wins HoH but, from what I’ve heard, Josh has decided that it will be easier to beat Paul in the final two than Christmas.

7:05 pm — Now they’re showing as the first part of the HoH competition, the flatulent unicorn competition. We already know that Paul won this and I have to admit that I don’t really care to hear what any of these fakes have to say in the Diary Room.

7:16 — Part Two is a timed competition where they have to use crossbows and catapults to knock down cut-outs of the evicted houseguests. Again, we already know that Josh narrowly won this so it’s not really that interesting to watch.

7:23 — Maybe it’s because I already know who is going to win but it really seems like they’re dragging out the 2nd part of the HoH competition.

7:28 — Lol at Paul saying that he’s playing to ease his rich family’s financial burdens.

7:34 — Yay! It’s a jury segment, with Dr. Will talking to the jury. Will is one of the few former houseguests to have defended this season but, from what understand, Will hasn’t actually watched the show in 9 years. This jury gig is all about collection a paycheck.

7:36 — Okay, I am absolutely loving Mark taking on Matt and Raven. I wish Mark had managed to survive because I would have loved to see him call out Paul in the house.

7:37 — I can’t understand a damn word Raven’s saying.

7:39 — Yeah, the jury sounds bitter but I don’t ever trust these jury roundtables. They always try to make it sound like the jury is more uncertain than they are.

7:45 — I’m glad I had the closed captioning on during that jury sequence because, otherwise, I wouldn’t have the slightest idea what Raven just said.

7:50 — The power is up for grabs! The third part of the HoH comp is the usual Scales of Just Us competition. Paul and Josh have to answer 8 questions about their houseguests.

7:52 — The audience booed when Paul got the first question right. And then they cheered when Josh got the second one.

7:54 — JOSH JUST WON THE FINAL HOH!

8:02 — Josh is about to make his decision.

8:04 — JOSH! YOU MORON! Josh just evicted Christmas.

8:14 — The jury has come out. Cody’s not even pretending to care.

8:15 — Elena asks Paul if he was bully. Paul says that he doesn’t think that he was a bully.

8:16 — Matt asked Josh to name his biggest move. Josh is rambling about making alliances.

8:16 — Alex asks Paul why he went against Friendship. Paul says that a lot of people turned their back on him and betrayed him in the house.

8:17 — Cody asked Josh to prove that he played his own game. Josh says blah blah blah. Seriously, I can’t follow his stream of random words.

8:18 — Jason asks Paul why he unnecessarily lied to the jury. Paul says that he didn’t and that he didn’t always know what was going to happen in the house. The jury is smirking.

8:19 — Mark asked Josh if he feels bad about acting like a jerk. Josh says that he does.

8:20 — Josh asked a stupid question about Peppy and Crutches. Who cares?

8:25 — Here comes the final statements from Paul and Josh. Josh’s answers were incoherent but sincere. Paul was way too slick and seemed shocked when he was asked about bullying.

8:27 — Paul’s speech may have been good but he talked way too fast. However, that might not be a problem because Josh isn’t exactly the most articulate speaker either.

8:29 — Now we’re voting. I’m going to predict that Paul will win by one or two votes. We’ll see if I’m right in a few moments.

8:36 — Julie is talking to the HGs who didn’t make jury. Jessica just told everyone that they all got played by Paul.

8:42 — Julia now showing Josh’s goodbye messages, all which revealed Paul’s plans. Paul is furious. He’s trying to hide it but he’s not doing a good job of it.

8:50 — Time to count the votes!

Christmas — Paul

Kevin — Paul

Alex — Josh

Raven — Paul

Jason — Josh

Matt — Paul

Mark — Josh

Elena — Josh

Cody — JOSH!

JOSH WINS BY ONE VOTE!

Once again, Paul’s terrible jury management has done him in.

8:56 — Okay, time to reveal AFP:

The top three are: Kevin, Cody, and Jason.

The winner is: CODY!

And that’s it! Thank you everyone for reading and commenting this season! Let us know what you think about the end of Big Brother 19 in the comments below!

P.S. The blog is not over. I’ll be posting some more of my own thoughts tomorrow or Friday. But for now, I want to turn it over to y’all to get your reactions. 🙂

Kris September 20, 2017 at 9:06 pm

Exciting at the end! You could tell the jury was bitter and I didn’t think Paul would win. It would have been nice if Cody would have said ” Thank-you America”! Wish there was a show when all of these houseguests see what fans have been saying! Thank-you Lisa for keeping us informed all summer. I loved reading your insights!

Cathy September 21, 2017 at 4:57 pm: Tendr I totally agree. People talk about Cody being rude or ungrateful. I see him as being kinda a introvert. He never lost his temper or did anything to warrant the BS people are saying. He told a silly crybaby he didn’t like her. Good grief!
I love his quite demeanor, with a no BS attitude. He stood up for what he thought was right and for a girl he fell for hard. No one has the right to judge him so harshly.

I remember saying last week that the jury would vote on emotions and bitter, and Paul would not win. How right was I? That only brought him back , because that felt he was robbed. He was not robbed last time nor this time. Bottom line he is no good as social game..

tendr cody fan September 21, 2017 at 12:10 am: well actually Paul lost by one vote..so it was close. but i hope paul doesn’t play again.

tired of the bitter jurys in the interview with Dr Will they all admitted paul played the better game what a joke and then the AF{ cody who never spoke never cared and didn’t even say thank you what a terrible ending to a great season Paul goes down in history with all the great players as I Quote Dr will!

Tendr The cody fan September 20, 2017 at 9:13 pm

Cody saved Josh’s butt. I hope he remembers that. Cody was a humble winner of the $25,000. Jessica and Cody would have voted differently but I don’t think it’ll cause any problems. So Astra, probably no beatings.
Josh giving that speech was scary. He took the credit for what paul told him to do but private msgs against paul that were actually the truth pissed paul off…lol…yet I think josh thinks he kept himself in the game. Paul kept him to USE him and I’m soooooo happy it backfired.

AC September 20, 2017 at 9:20 pm

Actually it wasn’t just Cody. His was just the last one read. Josh is lucky Mark wasn’t bitter about the pots and pans.

Deb September 20, 2017 at 9:26 pm: Very truly AC but I remember Mark saying that him and Josh were fine at the end.

Again…Cody is a JackAss! Acted surprised but he expected the $25.000 and didn’t have the manners (or decency) to acknowledge America with a Thanx. All he was interested in was climbing on Jessica…what the what was up with the Halloween hair and the CFM boots?!? Typical…
Why was Raven pawing all over Paul while her Matt was in the background?!?
Glad this season is O V E R.

Cathy September 21, 2017 at 11:22 pm

Now I bet Paul wishes he had let jess go to jury and put eland out b4 her lol.

could not stand either,,,thought kevin would win for favorite”’

Tendr The cody fan September 20, 2017 at 9:16 pm

Just glad Paul lost…not because he’s paul but how he played was totally cruel and cowardly.

Tammy September 20, 2017 at 9:56 pm: I agree 100% tcf! I loved how they set it up to look like Cody made the final decision!!!! I am so freaking happy, & I couldn’t stand Josh the entire season!! Paul played the same dirty game as he did last season…That is why he is probably somewhere right now doing shots all by himself!!!!😂😂😂😂😎

Kevin did end up with about 40gs…before taxes though. but he was fooled by Paul too.

Cyndee September 20, 2017 at 9:19 pm

Wow Paul could not hide how pissed he was. Even shook off Josh’s hand and arm a few times. What a poor sport! I actually think Cody was dumbfounded he won AF after the way he had been treated. Again, thank you Lisa. You are great.

Bruce September 20, 2017 at 11:51 pm

I was so happy about that vote, I had to go to YouTube and rewatch the vote being revealed. Someone had already spliced together last years vote with this season so you can watch Paul being pissed two times within a couple minutes!!! The expression on Paul’s face once the vote came down to Elena and Cody – it said it all. He knew he had lost again. Priceless. 🙂
I’m curious to see what happens to Josh when he goes home. He had such negative feedback about his game playing it will be interesting to see if all that negativity is still in place. I hope it is.

tendr cody fan September 21, 2017 at 12:23 am

Cyndee, my husband kept asking…why are the guys holding hands? lol…..i said just be glad Josh doesn’t have his head in pauls lap crying. I loved Pauls face when he was hearing the votes….i never saw one move in so many directions and then afterwards did you see how Raven was arm in arm with Paul? i knew she was just stalking him. but hey i’ll take his fifty gs if he doesn’t want it….

Star September 21, 2017 at 1:28 am: Tendr. I was LMAO when Raven ran right over to hang on Paul’s arm. SHE thinks they’re besties and partners in puppet play. HE can’t stand her and was complaining after Matt left how she followed him around all day and clung to
Him!! It’s like she needs a guy by her just to breathe!! Lol. But what I think she really wanted was to be on camera MORE so she latched into the second place winner!!
And then there across from them were Josh with Christmas in his arm. It just wasn’t Paul’s night!!! Lol

Went exactly how I hoped. Raven smug little witch face standing next to paul, while he said he didn’t know what else he could do, was priceless lmbo!

First and most importantly, thank you Lisa Marie for a fabulous season of BB. Even with an awful season, you kept us informed and have a wonderful way with words. Thanks also to the commenters for keeping it lively.

Paul was beyond pissed to see Josh’s goodbye messages. What the hell was Paul talking about to help his family financially? They showed his house last year, they sure don’t look like they are hurting financially.

Thank goodness for a bitter jury. Why was Josh hugged XMess at the end even after knowing she voted for Paul.

XMess thinks she killed them with kindness?!?!? If that was her kindness, I would hate to see her venom.

Wonder if Megan decided not to come or if she wasn’t invited.

Not happy that Cody won AFP. He could have said thank you. I will cut him some slack since he was the deciding vote to put Paul down again.

sherry September 20, 2017 at 9:33 pm

Deb: I could be wrong, but I think if you self-evict, you don’t
get invited to the finale. You have forfeited that privilege.
I was at first a little disappointed Cody didn’t say thank you
to America, but after his answer to Julie, I think he was in a
state of shock and was still waiting for someone to say they’d
made a mistake.

Tendr The cody fan September 20, 2017 at 9:42 pm: Sherry, YES! Cody looked shy and like this can’t be true. I’m sure he will thank ppl in his interview. Personally I never thought he had better say thank you. I voted for him many times expecting only to see him win.

Cody is a shy person and acted shocked. I think he expected Kevin to get it. Plus he had Jessica jumping on him. He did say this doesn’t make sense. Give the guy a break. I don’t think he can do anything right for some of you. Good for Cody for giving Josh the vote and I would like to think maybe something good will come out of this boring season.
Thank you Lisa for all you do.

If you self evect, you can’t ever do anything ever again on CBS. You are dead to them.

Janice Davidow September 20, 2017 at 9:29 pm

Thank you Lisa for all the wonderful write ups.

Thank God it’s over. I’m thrilled Josh won over Paul. Paul back stabbed everyone and Alex as well as the others that voted for Josh did not appreciate it. Josh was very smart in his exit messages to tell them what he did. I think that won it for him. As Alex said, she’s voting for the one that didn’t stab her in the back and faced her.

Karenb September 20, 2017 at 11:01 pm: Alex was horrible and mean spirited. She was awful wishing cancer on Kevin. Jason tried to convince her several times that Paul should go -she physically hit him for his efforts.

Bad season, bitter jury

I am glad the one in charge of the bullying was not rewarded for his cruelty even though he got $50 thousand and did not want Josh to win but he was the lesser of two evils and you could see the steam and shock coming out of Paul . He was so mad with Josh he would allow him to touch him before jury votes were read. And yea Cody won AFP and he was just shocked about winning as he certainly thought he effort to play the game was useless .

Really Paul? Bad Sport much? LOL….also LOVED when Julie said to Paul..” Always a bridesmaid”…..too funny!. Very very happy to see Josh win…and I think Julie really rubbed it in.

been over the way the game was played. She let her true feelings
come out tonight. I loved it! It was a priceless remark that

Star September 21, 2017 at 1:53 am: Astra. I know you did!!! 👍🏻 I had a feeling too and knew the jury would be bitter so he was a shoe in. I also knew he wouldn’t take Christmas for the same reason. Mike asked me before the show who I thot would win and when I told him he was surprised. He should know by now never to doubt me OR my intuition!! Lol. We were high fiving and WooHoo- ing as Julie read Cody’s vote!!!

sherry September 20, 2017 at 10:38 pm

I think the thing that lost the game for Paul was he couldn’t quit
lying. When he lied to the jury on almost every answer, the
expressions on the jury’s faces told it all. Jason nailed it on his
question. (This probably isn’t going to be an exact quote, but it’s close.) Why did you feel you needed to lie when it wasn’t even
necessary? That’s the problem with lying, it becomes a habit and
you don’t know how to stop.

Star September 21, 2017 at 2:03 am

Sherry. For me it wasn’t just Paul’s lying. It was the condescending and smug way he did it. He treated all the HGS like they were all stupid rubes who didn’t deserve to be in the house much less playing with HIM!! That’s why he couldn’t answer questions smoothly. When you’re trying to get jury votes you can’t really show your contempt and superiority. But that was the truth so he has to scramble to think of other acceptable reasons.
He’s just a poor little rich kid, playing entrepreneur and rock star while living in his cool, rad bedroom while his parents finance it all!! Paul’s intelligent but he really needs to grow the heck up before he tries to dole out life advise and criticism again!!

Thank you Lisa Marie for keeping us all informed of what was going on in the house during this most crappy season. So HAPPY Paul lost!!! I think if he would have just owned up to what he had done, the outcome might have been different. I really didn’t expect anything less from him. And I think Cody won AFP because he was the only one who had enough balls to go after Paul to begin with. So very glad this season is OVER!!! Now bring on Celebrity Big Brother!!!

A HUGE THANX to LisaMarie…if it hadn’t been for you many of us would have missed this season of BB. Your daily comments were the saving grace for this season. I looked forward to your Blog each day as the show SUCKED!
You put up with a lot of headaches with this group this year… bickering, back-biting, bitching, and moaning about one another! You were a blessing. Thanx, again…

Jeanne September 20, 2017 at 10:49 pm

Cody is a VERY private man. I think he was surprised. Like he said ” It doesn’t make sense ” A lot was going on at the time. I am happy for him and Jessica.

Tammy September 20, 2017 at 11:00 pm: Jeanne, Jessica got to see everything going on once she left the house, so I’ll bet she knew Cody was gonna win AFP just like we saw him ahead in the polling for it…He was truly as shocked as Paul!!!!! Such a great ending..Do you think Josh could have beat X- mess?? Just curious…😊

Although I think Paul played the most brilliant game – it was mean spirited and he did hurt himself in the long run. I am thrilled that Josh won! Paul has plenty of money and fame already… so much more fitting for the underdog to win! If Xmess had played the game she THOUGHT she played (as a nice person) she might have won or even gotten AFP! But she played a very mean spirited game just like Paul.

I am happy for all you Cody fans that he won AFH. Although I did not vote for him and still don’t like his outward attitude – I am not unhappy that he got the AFH prize. All the candidates were flawed and I usually have a clear favorite for AFH – but not this year! He did seem really shocked.

I hope to never see Raven or Matt again. I hope Elena and Mark give dating a shot. Best wishes to Kevin and his family – glad he won some major money. Finally…

Juju, i knew this girl who everyone called a snob at our church. she’d just sit there and never talk…would slip in and out. her husband was the teacher and he was loud and out going. one day i forced myself to talk to her and all it was is she was a very quiet shy person. In her own home….she was outgoing but everywhere else she was extremely quiet.

JuJu September 21, 2017 at 8:33 am: tendr… I agree about the shyness (because I was a shy kid myself) and that is why I am not unhappy that Cody got rewarded by America – even though I just couldn’t bring myself to vote for him. I’m not sure any of these people’s true personalities are evident to us out here watching! They are asked to do things they would most likely never do in real life! I just don’t think his personality was suited for Big Brother – the show lasts too long! I’ve said before… he would be great on Survivor I think – and he and Jess would kill it in Amazing Race. I wonder if that is a possibility since CBS seems to really like Jessica?

Color me happy too! My favorite parts, Paul losing the final HOH, Paul’s reactions to Josh’s DR and goodbye messages, the moment Paul realized when that Cody was the last vote to be revealed that he was a two time Loser!
I was by no means a big Josh fan but between the three of them it was a no brainer for Me! And Cody winning AFP was the final well deserved slap in the face, kick in the behind for Paul! And if Christmas has a thing for Paul and the fact that she voted for Paul, why was she standing ne t to Josh and looking happy at the end of the show!

Lisa Marie. Enjoyed your writings all season. As my grandsons say ” you’re the best “!!!

Bye Paul, hopefully for the last time!

Paul didn’t “own” his game — sitting there lying to the jury, shaking his head. He wasn’t genuine & the jury knew it. I think he might have won had he hadn’t put on the “not me” show.

I’m glad the AFP came down to Kevin, Jason & CODY. I believe that was America’s indictment on the season.

Just glad it’s over!

I’ll be checking in to see if you have any updates, Lisa. Boy, would I love to be there when Raven hears how she was perceived!!

Thank you, Lisa, for a wonderful job!!

Elizabeth September 21, 2017 at 1:07 am

Thank you for another season of excellent reviews/insights, Lisa. This was a difficult season, mostly because there’s only so many ways to say “Everyone in the house is lame and being manipulated by Paul, who is the only person actually playing the game.”

Josh winning was a big disappointment. I didn’t care for Paul much, but it was his game to lose and he did. Josh didn’t win – Paul lost. That’s a very hollow victory indeed. The only reason Josh made it as far as he did was that Paul wanted him to. Both Josh and Christmas would’ve been gone a long time ago if they both weren’t so terrible at comps and social game. Paul only kept them to beat them in the end; that’s hardly a noteworthy position for either of them to claim.

As for Cody, he ended this season the way he’s acted the entire game: rude, standoffish, and without grace. He couldn’t be bothered to even smile or be level remotely friendly to anyone but Jessica. He’s spent the entire season acting like he was forced to be on the show. Why stay if you’re so put-upon? Just leave, seriously. I think the show will manage to carry on without his one word answers and non-participatory spirit. Before he calls everyone in the house idiots and morons, he should remember: the same producers who picked them for the show, picked Cody too!

Margie September 21, 2017 at 1:59 am

Elizabeth…. may I say I agree with you totally. I also thought Paul Lost the game instead of Josh winning. I know this is not a popular thing to say on the blog but I just don’t get the Cody and Jessica admiration. I agree that he always seems as if he is doing everyone a favor by appearing on the show and would rather be anywhere else. I will say that he looked very nice tonight and he does have a nice smile, when or if he ever uses it but I don’t find that he has any personality!!!!! Please don’t jump on me people it’s JMHO!!!

Elizabeth September 21, 2017 at 8:24 am: I don’t get the Cody/Jessica admiration either. My thoughts on Cody are below, but I don’t understand why Jessica let Cody tank her entire game over and over again. She could have been an incredibly strong player, and potentially won, without the Cody albatross around her neck all summer.

She obviously has social skills (hello, her job is to basically schmooze rich guys into spending a lot of money in a night club). And she was a super strong competitior. It’s unfortunate that she let Cody’s negative attitude and isolationist strategy undermine her game.

I mean, if they found love in the BB house then good for them. It’s hard for me to imagine him being okay with her job as a professional flirt, and even harder to imagine her living in rural Texas and shooting guns at cans on a fence – but hey, to each their own. If Brenchel can make a relationship work, then there’s hope for everyone. I hope they both found happiness.

Elizabeth, cody had an interview with dr. Will and he didn’t talk much but smiled and as dr. will said…cody just doesn’t talk much but Jessica showed up and they all were laughing and cody didn’t seem rude to me at all. He was nice to dr. will and joked around so i wish ppl would get over a man on tv not being loud and or an actor is a man being rude.

Elizabeth September 21, 2017 at 8:17 am: I totally understand people who don’t say much (although why they sign up for a reality show, I’m not sure), and I certainly appreciated someone who didn’t shout all the time – there were several times I muted the TV while Josh or Paul were shouting in the DR!

But Cody’s attitude (and perhaps less so in the finale than during other times this season) was just so negative. After being around the same crazy people for 3 months, I can totally understand being annoyed by them.

What I can’t understand is that he couldn’t find anything redeeming about any of them, and obviously chose not to find any sort of common ground. I guess he got along with Mark, sort of? To me, that indicates a lack of maturity on Cody’s part. And like it or not, we all have to get along with people that have different ideas/backgrounds/behaviors than us. Especially in a *social* game! What did Cody think he signed up for??

On top of that, he let his one unpopular decision (going after Paul without the blessing of his giant alliance at the beginning) completely ruin his entire game. He could easily have come back from that and created new strategies or worked on his social game, which other players usually do at various points during the season. But instead, he decided to throw his sucker in the sand like a 3 year old: “Fine! If no one likes me, I don’t want to play your stupid game!” Like, really? Grow up.

To me, his poor attitude was a reflection on him more than the other houseguests. Were they annoying? Sure. Was it a difficult environment? Absolutely. But are they all irredeemable? No, of course not. They’re a mixed bag, like everyone. A mature person finds a way to get along with other people, focusing on the good and leaving the bad.

Every time I saw Cody’s stony-faced terse answers in the DR or in jury interviews, all I could think of was the poor production assistant who had to talk to him. “So, what were you thinking during the competition?” “…… it was hard.” “And what did you think when Alex won?” “…. it sucked.” Like, come on dude.

Elizabeth, Paul didn’t win the final comp , Josh did! If Josh had chosen Xmess instead of Paul, he wouldn,t have won $50,000.00! I believe most of the people in this blog were very happy about the outcome! I know Jeanne and I were! We were also glad Cody won AFP. So, tonight’s show made this entire frustrating season worth it!
Tonight, justice won! 😊

Elizabeth September 21, 2017 at 8:35 am: That’s true, Josh definitely won the final HOH. And it was fitting, in a way, because it was a manifestation of Paul’s total lack of understanding about the jury.

But really, both Josh and Christmas were in the finale because Paul chose to keep them. If Paul had chosen to keep Matt/Raven or Alex/Jason instead, then no doubt that’s who would have been with Paul in the final 3. Essentially, it was Paul’s choice to make.

It doesn’t seem like Josh or Christmas were setting the game on fire with their strategy. Also, it seems like neither of them would have won many (any?) comps without Paul getting other people to throw them. I laughed out loud during the 2nd part of the HOH comp, where it was obvious that at least half the house never won HOH or veto. Whether that’s because they sucked at comps or because Paul determined ahead of time who should win … Paul was calling all the shots, and he’s totally responsible for the outcome of the game.

Irish September 21, 2017 at 2:00 am

thank you Lisa for keeping us up to date with the house guests with your well written blog you do an awesome job and we appreciate all your hard work. I loved watching Josh win tonight and the look on Paul’s face was priceless. I think Paul’s biggest mistake was not owning his game and the fact that he kept lying to them even at the end. I do not think that Paul watched to much BB as if he had he would have seen them ask Vanessa why she did not own her game. The Jury want to see that and Paul got way to arrogant and cocky as he thought that he had it in the bag. I was impressed with the way Josh handled his questions and he seemed much more genuine than Paul. I voted for Cody so I was delighted to see him win AF. I thought that Dr Will did a terrible job tonight with the Back Yard interviews and I missed Jeff. Why did he say that Jeff had passed away what an awful thing to say and not the least bit funny. I was so happy that Cameron called them all out on their poor game play this season and Jess also and I hope they learned from this season on what not to do next year. I am happy that Survivor starts next week and I hope to see some great game play there. I will miss reading this blog and everyone’s comments.

Susan Graham September 21, 2017 at 3:07 am

I wish I could be a fly on the wall when Raven watches the show back and sees and hears how Paul talked about her, that’s going to be epic. I bet it gives her a new disease.

Happy Pauly Pocket didn’t win – I saw Messy Boots’ interview – she voted for Paul because Josh promised to take her to final two and then didn’t – what a biatch – she wouldn’t give him the same promise so she’s got a lot of nerve – after dogging him out like that on TV she still expects him to take her and Paul on an “around the world trip” because they all agreed that the winner would take the other two on a trip around the world – suckers!!!

When called out on a lie, she will just blow it off and say something like, ‘I meant my mom COULD BE in MENSA!’ Yeah, right Raven…..

As far as the criticisms of Cody go and not seeming grateful , as you know I am not a fan, but I think he was super shocked!!!

sherry September 21, 2017 at 9:52 am

My grandfather was like Cody in many ways. He didn’t say all that much, but when he spoke everyone stopped and listened, because he didn’t waste words and got to the point. He, too, had a gorgeous smile. Some people could bring it out more often than others.
At Christmas time he would stack up his gifts from everyone and open them one at a time. Look at them and then put them down
to get another one. He never showed any joy in the gifts or said
anything while opening them. But the next day you’d see him
wearing the shirt you might have bought him or using the tool
you might have bought him and he’d smile at you as he passsed
by. You knew he loved you and loved your gift, though he’d
never said a word.
I think a glimpse into Cody’s family life could possibly explain a lot of things to those who never saw the sides to Cody that so many of us saw. Then you enter the service where being social is not a requirement unless you do officer ladder climbing. You have a job to do and you do it. You don’t mess around as there’s
too much riding on your decisions and duty operations.
Cody takes life very seriously and really is quite shy and unsure of himself. He has a great sense of humor that cracks me up. Even the audience got it. He got more laughs on his interview with Julie than anyone else. The audience was behind him all
night.
Cody endured so much hate and ugliness from the other hgs
due to Paul urging it from behind the scenes. He knew Cody
saw through him and hated him for it. So when he got AFP
Cody was totally confused. He thought America hated him as
much as the hgs. He is probabaly still trying to make sense of
it all.
Either you really got Cody and saw his heart and humor, or you
didn’t. There was no middle ground when it came to Cody. And
that’s okay. That’s what BB is really all about….sharing different
opinions and trying to figure out why people act the way they do.
While I did NOT like the hg selections this season, I still would
not be able to do the show myself. So congrats to all of them for
at least trying to give it their best shot.

junksies September 21, 2017 at 11:31 pm: Sherry…Cody really got under Paul’s skin. For weeks and weeks, even with Cody being long gone, Paul was constantly bashing Cody to no end. You are exactly correct, that Paul knew Cody saw right through him and it drove Paul bonkers!!

Glad to see Cody getting the last laugh…

Dr. Will’s interview panache was a rough as sand paper and as awkward as a bull in a china shop!! I loved every bit of it. Filling in for Jeff on such short notice left no time for him to refine his expanded BB job responsibilities of conducting the backyard interviews. As the night progressed he got better, a little less clumsy and very funny walking a tight rope of asking scripted questions while at the same time trying to adlib only to be reeled back in by the producers and then chastised for saying something stupid that he shouldn’t have. He kept saying that he was going to get fired. Very endearing, typical Dr. Will that we know and love. I hope he gets the job permanently.

JuJu September 21, 2017 at 9:00 am: YES! Junksies! I thought Dr. Will’s interviews were so funny also! I actually haven’t ever been much of a fan of Dr. Will but I loved him tonight. We needed some honest humor after such a strange season. The producers usually have such tight control over what houseguests say on the show through the power of manipulation and editing – and they had NO control over Dr. Will! I thought it was great…..

Great work once again Lisa Marie personally i just loved watching Paul’s face every time Josh had to answer a question or make a statement. lol can’t wait for celebrity B.B.

Wisteria77 September 21, 2017 at 6:46 am

It was wonderful!! The best end ever to a bad season and I loved the show last night. Paul lied to everyone, put them all down with his superior attitude and instigated all the bullying and meanness. while far from perfect Josh outplayed Paul in the end with his good-bye messages. Paul constantly worked to keep people from confiding in each other but he just couldn’t control those messages. Good for Josh! I know Josh thinks he did the manipulating on his own but I’m glad he won out of the 3 final HG’s.
I agree with Tendr. I thought about how Cody acted and I know how he felt. It’s exactly how I am. I can host a party and be fine because I’m taking care of people. If I go to a party or event I freeze, like Cody I’m a deer in the headlights. I want to fit in and feel comfortable but I can’t.
Hope CBS will take this season and learn form it. We can only hope.
Thank you again Lisa for your spot on comments and reporting. You are really the very best.

Sandra Pierce September 21, 2017 at 7:09 am

Well,I really surprised myself!I didn’t think I would get excited over the winner but I did I really really did.I’m glad that 4 of the puppets cut the string last night.(Not 5 because Cody was never a puppet) and voted for Josh.
Paul got what was coming to him! Although I didn’t like his game play I’m happy he won something rather than Xmess.
He calling Josh a coward (No Paul ,that’s how you protect yourself)was hypocritical of him.Didn’t he do that all summer getting others to do his dirty work while he stood back and let them take blame.
Cody was shocked about winning AFH.Shaking his head and saying “it doesn’t make sense”.You’re absolutely right Cody it doesn’t make sense but enjoy your win.
I thought it was funny how they kept Cody’s vote last to make it look like he was the tie breaker .
Oh,and how Xmess attached herself to Josh when he won after giving her vote to Paul…..barf.
Anyway it turned out to be a great finale!
Thanks Lisa Marie for your blog.I looked forward to it every morning and will really miss it.

AC September 21, 2017 at 2:37 pm

The votes were read in order of eviction from last to first. But it was dramatic with Josh getting 4 of the last 5 votes. You can tell Paul knew he lost after Julie read Mark’s vote. Look like he was thinking oh no not 1 vote again. lol.

junksies September 21, 2017 at 10:47 pm: AC… Yup, you are exactly right! After Matt’s vote it was 4 to 2 in Paul’s favor. Then came Mark’s vote, making it 4-3. That was THE defining moment for Paul when he realized he had lost, surmising the last two votes from Elena and Cody would be for Josh. Paul’s face contorted from the emotional explosion going off inside his head and body, realizing yet again, he was #2 !!!

BB, having foreknowledge, set up the keys for dramatic effect. Suspense at it’s finest!!!

Glenn September 21, 2017 at 7:51 am

Two years straight Paul comes in second ( HURRAY). So glad that Paul did not win. His face said it all after Codys vote was revealed. I thought it was Great to see that Josh won this years BB. I sure hope that they do Not Invite Paul back again. Really don’t think that he had to many friends in the house well then again he did have Christmas. That is not saying to much. Nice to see Jessica back with her Love. LOL. See ya all next season!!!!

Flee September 21, 2017 at 8:22 am

So glad this season is over! Big Brother needs to stop putting all younger people in the house and mix the ages up a bit or do two-twenty year olds, 2-thirty year olds and etc. Or just do a house full of older than twenty year olds. Can’t wait to see the Celebrity Big Brother!

Janna September 21, 2017 at 9:18 am

Lisa, thank you for another great year, you are a very talented. I appreciate you so very much !!

I thought the finale was great ! Josh played the player !! I am glad Josh won, but he did need Paul to get to the end. I never saw all the goodbye messages Josh left, only with Alex, also Jason ! But with everyone, that was brilliant !! Glad Josh won, I was happy to hear he was going to buy his Mom a house. Josh looked like he needed the money, not just for himself, his family as well. As for AFP, I didn’t vote for Cody, he looked ice cold to me. I don’t think Jessica and Cody will be husband and wife.

To BB bloggers, thank y’all for your support for my aweful year, plenty of times I needed my heart lifted. Jenna and I are heading home, Grandma in tow, ha ha on Jenna. Then, I am off to Europe, for awhile.
Jolee & Jeanne & tendr & AC it was great talking to all of yall. AC, I am sure we will meet each other in person soon. And to all of the other bloggers, everyone whose name I couldn’t think quick enough. Thank yall for making this blog such a hit, for a game show. I hope they don’t bring back any more vets. Let them learn on there own.
Love & Joy & Hugs to all.
✌ out ✌
Goodbye,
Janna

Thank you Lisa for the updates on this amazing blog!

Thank you to some of the nicest people here.

Hope we can find out what happens to some of the hg as they learn they were not very liked.
Happy Ending!

Jeanne September 21, 2017 at 10:04 am

Cody did not sign up for the show. It was one of his family or friends, I think maybe his brother signed him up.

mortgage dr. September 21, 2017 at 1:16 pm: Rumor has it that a number of this yrs. HHG’s got on that way…friends and family signing them up…come on CBS really…are we that desperate to find 16 people…newbies..maybe they are…

Great comments as usual from everyone! I enjoyed reading them.
At first the expressions on Paul’s face when Josh was talking was priceless 🙂 I just wish Josh would have taken a few breathes and just relaxed a little. He did what he should have done! I am glad he did not take the witch with him instead Paul figured he has this in the bag…. I got it when Josh one the last question before he got off the stand I seen PAUL take his FINGER and point to JOSH and HIM He automatically thought JOSH was going to take him because of the FINAL 2 deal but wait what would have happened in Paul won would he have taken JOSH or XMAS? I don’t know.

Worth the Wait! September 21, 2017 at 11:48 am

First and foremost…Thank YOU Lisa for this blog.
As I’ve done for these last few weeks I read your play by play first before deciding if I’d watch the show. I watched the last hour which was thoroughly entertaining. Seeing Paul’s facial expressions was priceless. As many people have said, he got what he deserved & may have won if he owned up to his ENTIRE game play. Simply put he got played in the end. This season was boring extremely hard to watch at times but in the end, it was worth the WAIT!

AmyM September 21, 2017 at 12:15 pm

Just my two cents, but I loved Cody’s reaction – “It just doesn’t make sense” – to me that showed he was shocked! I’m glad he won AFP.

I was NEVER a Josh or Paul fan. They both played dirty games. The difference between the two? Paul tried to manipulate every single outcome and every single player (including Josh), and tried to stay behind the scenes the ENTIRE game, without ever getting “any blood on his hands”. Josh was confrontational, stepped on toes, and got in people’s faces. He did that and STILL made it to the end, so in my opinion, he deserved it more than Paul did.

Please CBS – NO MORE VETS!!!

Jolee September 21, 2017 at 12:19 pm

First, let me say to Janna; you have been a joy having you back this year. You will continue to be in our prayers. God bless you sweetheart!💘Sherry I agree with everything you said in your comments about Cody. He reminds me of my husband. He was a quiet man who didn’t waste words. He was very smart. He was always either reading a book or working on his many hobbies. When he passed away in 2003, so many people showed up at his memorial with from the post office and the bank where he worked. I received so many sympathy cards from the post office and the bank where he worked. Everyone has a story about how Jerry had touched their lives. When I was going through his things, I found several awards that he had won from the post office and the bank. He never showed them to me!
I think Cody will have a great life. I just hope he makes the right choice in choosing a wife.
I didn’t mean to make this so long, but I guess you can tell I am proud of my husband and that is why I can relate to Cody!
I will be staying in contact with you!💘

I would like to see Paul again…but this time with 15 other former HHG from various seasons…all 16 are vets and let America choose a list of say 30 to 40 past HHG’s…and then let CBS make contact to see if the former player has any interest in coming back… would love to see Evil Dick in there with Paul and Jeff…Frankie…Rachel…Jordan…let them kill each other with LOVE…now that would be worth watching…

Marcinmd September 21, 2017 at 2:11 pm

Josh is the least deserving winner in the history of the game.. For awhile I thought production would remove him for being mentally unstable..

Paul plays a strategy we have seen before on Survivor. He plays to come in second, though he doesn’t know it. You simply cant back stab your way to the final and expect people to vote for you. They take it personally and while you can advance with back stabbing you leave people very bitter..They are so bitter by the end that even someone like Josh can beat you..

I really liked watching Paul. Out of a weak cast he made things interesting but he is too smart for his own good which led to ruthlessness… I hope he marries Christmas and has many babies with her…. Amen

Jaymes September 21, 2017 at 3:08 pm

Paul was robbed from winning. Yes he did play a dirty game. But remember folks, It’s a game! And he played it the best That’s why the losers were in the jury house and boy were they bitter! Sore losers who voted with their hearts, Not who played the game! And Cody got America favorite? Com ‘on the votes were rigged! He didn’t even what to be there after he was voted out the first time! This season was the worse! All played by the puppet master Paul who should have won! Looking foward to Survivor!

Jaymes, where do you draw the line? He slapped Josh…they broke rules. There was more violence which if paul gets away with it then it’ll only be accepted every yr?
I would have given it to the fish before paul.

EV September 22, 2017 at 1:11 am: Hi Jolee,

Justice indeed! I am so happy Paul lost!! And just as happy won Favorite house guest. The jury stuck it to Paul and so did America!

JuJu September 21, 2017 at 6:18 pm

Jaymes… Nicole won last year because some of the jury members were bound and determined to have a female winner – deserved or not! Paul should have won last year! But the rules don’t say you have to vote for the best player! I defended Paul all season as the ONLY one playing the game. But he lied to jury members all the up to the final questioning and for many – enough is enough!
If someone finishes in a race by deliberately tripping his opponents … that doesn’t mean he deserved to win the race. Give Josh some credit for being smart enough to leave messages to four departing houseguests that blew up Paul’s game… in the same way as he blew up theirs!

sherry September 22, 2017 at 6:28 pm: JuJu: I think you are so right. I heard even Julie say Paul got
robbed. Paul was engineering everything that happened this
season. He could have taken anyone he wanted to the final
3. It was HIS choice to bring Xmess and Josh. Josh ended up
playing the player. Without his GB messages, I think Paul would
have won. But you have to also consider as Julie said, the faces
he made while Josh was giving his speech. It was so typically Paul, who was rude and unnecessarily mean to everyone in the
house except for Xmess. Then the continuation of lying to the
jury, when they knew he was lying really corked it for the jurors.
Some were leaning toward voting for Paul, but the lies and
his not being able to own his game took them in the other direction. So Paul wasn’t robbed at all. He got out played by
Josh, but mostly he gave it to Josh. He has no one to blame but
himself, but somehow I don’t think Paul is going to ever see
it that way. I’ve found that people who make a habit of lying,
whether it be in a game or in real life, seldom are able to take
responsibility for their own shortcomings.

This season has damaged the franchise. They need to stop trying to tee up a winner and they need a new casting director.

junksies September 22, 2017 at 12:10 am: Marcinmd… You got that right! BB broke their own rules in so many ways it damaged their credibility. The casting director’s name is Robin/Robyn something (last name begins with a “K” I believe). I heard or read it last night. All along we have been blaming Allison G. Either way, she needs to go!!

Tendr The cody fan September 21, 2017 at 4:05 pm

Early in bb I heard Cody say the less he let the others know about him since they were never keeping secrets and bullying using private things, the less they could hurt him. He said he’d lose it if anything bad would be said about his little girl. I did see in the blogs horrible things said about her and her mother…she’s ugly and more.

Trust me, I would be an animal face to face if someone said something hurtful about my family. Been there. I mean I quit a long time friendship over a guy who was a close friend for saying he’d shoot the fker….talking about my non social chihuahua. Cody tried to be social by talking tv shows and laughing up in the HOH room and behind his back still, were paul’s ugly comments and his puppets followed him.

I’m pretty sure mark and Elana are friends with Cody. I would not have been as social with the nut cases in the house. Annoying ppl just make me want to be alone. Cody probably expected to find another person who could think opposite of paul. After the way he was bullied the others were lucky Cody did his best to avoid them. They were horrible. I don’t think I would have had his patience.

Jeanne September 21, 2017 at 4:34 pm

Tender, you are so right on. I love your blogs. I would also give it to the Fish before I give it to Paul. He is not an example that we want to create in future big brother seasons. No more bullies

Jeanne September 21, 2017 at 4:36 pm

Tendr The cody fan September 21, 2017 at 4:54 pm

My last statements.
I was married to a very social man who has lots of friends but privately would shove me, put his hand over my mouth and busting my lip telling me to shut up. Leaving me inside a hot damn car when I had the flu out of town…with diarrhea and vomiting with me asking to please take me to a cheap motel so I can be in a bathroom and ac and a bed. But he wanted to see a parade in this city and me being sick wouldn’t stop him so he handed me a big cup and parked the car and told me to puke and have diarrhea in the cup then tossed me a water bottle…..
Told me my bad qualities constantly….
But he’s all smiles and well off $$$ and ppl think he’s great and I don’t tell my children this.
But now
I am married to a very quiet man who looks pissed off most of the time. No money and rarely talks AT ALL. I have to pull conversations out of him…BUT….he writes me love notes everyday of our 18 yr marriage. We’re not perfect but even when upset over something he’s never called me one bad name. EVER. When I go to bed after he has…in the dark…he has my sleep shirt laying out for me after teasing me for waking up with it backwards or inside out. He cooks and is extremely gentle with me…
All these yrs I may like for him to be more out going but I’d never let go of a man who taught me to say to my ex “IT WAS NEVER ME..IT WAS YOU” he can look angry cuz when he does smile it’s real.

JuJu September 21, 2017 at 5:04 pm

I’m so sorry to hear this tendr! And you could be describing my EX-Son-in-law! There were lots of things we didn’t know were going on in her world as well.
It is a shame there are people like that in the world! Lucky for you – you found a keeper.

Cyndee September 21, 2017 at 7:27 pm

Aww Tendre your post brought me to tears. I am so happy you found a man that cherishes you after a disastrous first marriage. I miss my hubby so much but I am not envious of you. I rejoice in your happiness. I had a man like that too and was lucky to be with him 45 years before the Lord called him home. Congrats Tendre

I think one of the biggest things future house guests should learn from BB19 is to keep your secrets! I respect the fact that Josh did not brag that he was a superfan and even acted like he didn’t know some of the previous house guests that others were talking about.

Kevin could not keep a secret to save himself at all! He should have never told a soul that he won the 25,000. These are competitors – NOT friends! Don’t tell people anything that could be held against you. Don’t cast a “hinky” vote if you are going to tell even one person! Don’t do it! Learn from BB history people!

marlou21 September 21, 2017 at 9:12 pm: You are so right, JuJu! The same is true for Survivor. They just can’t keep it to themselves and, more often than not, it comes back to bite them. For all the contestants who claim to be super fans, you would think they would figure that out!

Cathy September 21, 2017 at 6:06 pm

People are saying Cody didn’t deserve to win, Cody didn’t say thank you, Cody doesn’t have any personality, Cody is abusive, Cody was a bully, blah blah blah. I didn’t see any of that about him. He obviously was like by A LOT of people because there was a record number of people that voted and he won. I have read he got over 40% of the votes and the next closest was only like 14%. So let’s see 40% of 14 million is like what 6 million people??? So instead of being a bitter baby live by your own rules and say instead…..CONGRATULATIONS CODY!

junksies September 21, 2017 at 8:40 pm

Cathy… Agree with you 100%. I didn’t see any of that about him either. Same for others as well. Jason asked the producers for a breakdown of the AFP vote last night during his BY interview.

Sirrock September 23, 2017 at 6:30 pm

There’s a difference between being liked by all the viewers and voting for the biggest enemy of the player you hate the most. Cody won mainly AFP because people hated Paul.

Like so many have said, I never thought I would be rooting for Josh to win this game, but I have to admit, I starting screaming in disbelief when he picked Paul to go to the end with him. But,then again, I think Paul convinced him that he could never beat Christmas (lol).Then I starting screaming some more when Josh won! I don’t think Cody should be considered the tie breaker or game changer that gave Josh the win. I think Paul’s biggest mistake was getting rid of Alex and not taking her to the end. I think her vote was the one that gave the win to Josh. Just my opinion. Thanks to everyone of you for your insights and observations. Made the game bearable!!

junksies September 21, 2017 at 10:52 pm

So, the 8 year super fan player, played the player!! To my surprise, Josh did have a well-hidden strategy that even had me fooled, with the exception of a couple of tidbits he dropped that had me a bit suspicious. He hid the fact from Paul that he was a super fan. Josh’s explanation of letting Paul think he was in control and then letting Paul actually lead him around to do Paul’s bidding proved to be his best overall strategy. He compared that to his business strategy, which I thought was kind of brilliant. His Dad’s advice is to never show people how smart you really are. That’s pretty brilliant as well. Let the enemy underestimate you to their detriment. Wisdom is hidden in many diverse packages. I’ve had all day to think about how Josh played the game. He watched patiently, while Paul wrapped the noose around his own neck. Paul got played…

junksies September 22, 2017 at 1:18 am

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Paul’s fans have started a Go Fund Me page…Goal: $450k…so far it has collected $540. Unreal!!! He better donate the money to charity.

“Stuff”… in no particular order:

While speaking with Julie after the eviction, the audience appeared to not like Xmas very much…no chuckles when she was trying to be funny and little applause. I wonder if she noticed?

Two days before finale, Jessica was fighting a cold and hoping it would be gone by Wednesday. It wasn’t. She was red around the nostrils and appeared to be glowing a little too much on her forehead.

Did anybody notice that Kevin’s arm was held hostage? During the last few moments on stage when everybody was hugging, somehow Kevin’s arm was stuck between Josh and Alex…he tried to pull it out to no avail. Poor Kevin, he looked dazed and confused.

Did anybody notice that Austin, looking less than thrilled, was sitting between Jesse and Frankie in the audience? His expression was priceless!

24-30 hours after finale, I’ve been exploring misc websites for interviews in the attempt to dig up some dirt. Not much of anything yet. What I find is that some of both Paul’s and Josh’s comments don’t jive with the edited version of what aired on CBS. What they said didn’t make any sense to me, leaving me to conclude there must have been a heavy edit. Their responses would probably make more sense to the feedsters.

I found it interesting that Jason wanted a breakdown of AFP numbers. Wonder if it was just normal curiosity, or if he was doubting that he lost? Or doubting that Cody won!! I’d like to see Jason’s reaction when he finds out that Cody does have a child and lives/lived in Iowa. Jason came down hard on Cody calling him a liar on those two counts.

Dr. Will commented that the media room went bananas when Josh won!!

Dr. Will asked Josh about the slap to the face…Josh said he didn’t remember that. Really? That question was another violation by Dr. Will who wasn’t supposed to ask about it!! LOL… There goes another negative mark in his HR file!! I don’t think Dr. Will is going to make it past his probationary period in his new position!! Lol…

I’m getting sleepy…I hope this makes sense… Did anybody find the following kind of shady and questionable…on the part of BB…?

I’m referring to the goodbye message where Josh confessed that he was in an alliance with Paul and Xmas. That was a strategic move to blow up Paul’s (or Xmas’) game. When has BB ever ever ever allowed that sort of comment to pass edit to be actually shown in a goodbye message? That could taint a jury vote, if not several jury votes. Josh’s goodbye messages to 4 guests included his confession of the secret alliance, but AT THE TIME, the only one that made it to air on CBS, was to Alex. It was only on finale night that BB showed the other three, (Jason, Raven & Kevin) and only AFTER the votes were cast. I’ll bet that the guests say all kinds of things during their goodbye messages that BB has to edit out, otherwise what they say could affect the outcome of the game…bigtime!! Right? Prejury it wouldn’t matter, but anybody heading for jury is going to remember what is said. Alex did. She was THE most bitter of them all. imo.

Does anybody else think it was also shady of BB to let that one confession slip by to Alex?

JuJu September 22, 2017 at 8:25 am

Junksies… Ha Ha… You and I operate in such a similar manner! Since I don’t get the feeds either I have been pouring through all kinds of sites to find interviews (and clues) to what went on and is going on now…. I think it was in a previous Grodner interview that she said the departing houseguests get to see the departing messages even if not shown on TV. Really? I wonder if that has always been true or did they just start doing that for Josh! Maybe CBS realized they had stacked the odds too much in Paul’s favor and were trying to even the playing field. Josh may have started a new precedent as a means of using the messages as strategy! And interesting that the media room was so pro Josh!

I really hope that the news is true that Jessica and Cody will be on Amazing Race.. CBS would be crazy not to capitalize on their apparent popularity. And I think that is the program on which they would shine!

junksies September 22, 2017 at 9:13 am: JuJu…It’s been my understanding that BB has a rule not allowing a guest to blow up another guest’s game while giving their on-the-block-spare-me-speeches. The goodbye messages were included in that rule and it makes complete sense why BB would not allow it. But this season was like no other, so perhaps you are correct that BB was possibly trying even the scales for Josh.

I can remember in past seasons where hgs were given some
not very nice GB messages from hgs that didn’t like them and
some that gave away game play after they thought it wouldn’t
matter. I don’t know though if it was done after the jury was
starting, but it seems like we got to see very few messages once
the jury had begun. I just wish we got more time to watch the
jury residents. They are always so much more interesting during
the last week or two.

Finally!!! I’ve been poking around for about an hour and finally found some pics and video of the Wrap Party for BB19. It was held Thursday night at the Clifton in downtown LA. Check out Joker’s. There is a 10 minute video of Mark and a no-makeup Elena, wrapped up in a towel getting ready for the party. Their banter is cute. She sounds jealous of Mark and other girls…already! Now tell me that she doesn’t care…

Sherry that was the best description of Cody ever. My career military father was a lot like that, too.
Tendr I feel for you. I had a very similar first marriage. I love your defense of Cody and I agree.
Junsies I wandered about those good bye messages from Josh. I don’t remember ever seeing any like them. Maybe CBS decided it was time to clue the jury a bit. They had made so many bad calls this season. I agree with you about Dr. Will. He started off kind of awkward but by the end he had me laughing and enjoying his interviews.
If anyone can find the exit interviews done by Rob from “Rob has a Podcast” they are worth a listen. Very well done and maybe the Raven one was best. He asked her about Paul’s Koolaid. She hesitated a second and then named a flavor and said how Paul was such a good cook he could be a chef. She is clueless.
I’m sad we’re close to the end here and already I’m missing this blog. Thanks again everyone.

and thought he did a much better job than Dr. Will. Perhaps,
because no one was telling him what he couldn’ say. He even
had questions from fans for each of them. Mark and Elena were
together and did a great job. He admitted he always knew
how Elena felt about him, but they kept it a secret. He was to
meet with her mother. Then they are staying in CA for a week,
and afterward Mark is going to Texas to spend a couple of weeks
with Elena and family.
Raven exposed her lack of intelligence several times during her
interview and contradicted her previous lies with even bigger
ones.
Cody admitted he just couldn’t process his win. He really
thought Ameica hated him. He has no way of knowing how the
audience reacted far more warmly toward him than any of the
other evictees. They actually laughed during each of his interviews and over his short answers. They really liked his
honesty and verbosity.
I, too, am going to miss the blog and everyone.

The Videos of Josh in the diary room or shown before the vote so they could not have influence the jury. I love this blog and don’t wanted to go away I hope we can continue and Get some more information about the players. And as we do we can post them here. I would love to stay in touch with a lot of you. Right now I’m going for my coffee and donut and I will be back later. Love you all. Bye-bye ☕️🍩

Jeanne September 22, 2017 at 10:52 am

No no The votes, they were shown after the vote not before the vote. Sorry haven’t had my coffee yet.

Jeanne September 22, 2017 at 11:50 am

Well had a couple sips coffee so now maybe I can say it the way I meant it the videos were not shown until after the vote. That’s what I meant I got confused. Lack of coffee will do that for me in the morning love you I’ll talk to you later bye-bye

Lisa Marie , thanks again for all the updates “inside the house” that CBS never shows. Most in the public had no idea how much Paul put up people to bully and do his dirty work Esp when it came to Cody and calling him out on his military service. Paul is just plain mean. He was up there in his chair looking smug like everyone should bow to him because he had never been nominated. Liars try and figure, figures never lie. The jusy saw right through his smug lies!
I have been following your blog a while now, thanks for the awesome updates again Lisa Marie !

From Paul 9/22:

A snake, the devil, the puppet-master – well that’s an interesting way to put it 🤷🏻‍♂️First off, I want to thank all the people that have supported me through & through the madness of this game & I want to thank @cbs_bigbrother for giving me another shot at insanity. Now to address a few things & speak on my own behalf – first & foremost it hurts my heart that people would EVER be under the impression that I would try to mock a houseguest with racism. I am absolutely shocked & appalled that this is immediately where a few people thought my intentions stood. Because I was referred to as a snake for an entire week, I decided to beat Dominique to ridiculing me during a ceremony speech (which she said she was going to do) by ridiculing myself & wearing a snake pattern dress, with snake pattern leggings, & painting a diamond on my head to imitate a black diamond snake. In the house I often used a Dead Sea black face-mask to exfoliate my skin, which is what I used to finish my snake outfit. To anyone who was offended by this ridiculous misconception, I apologize & hope this clears all the nonsense. Next, I absolutely love & support my country, & respect every single person who has/is serving my country. I did not disrespect Cody’s service, in fact I thanked him personally on a few occasions for his time in the military. In the big brother house, Cody admitted to lying not only about his age, but also the time he served & what branches he served in, for his game. This obviously caused the house, including myself, to question exactly who Cody was or what he actually did – he was not very social. The bullying comments also set me back a bit, sure I controlled a lot of the strategy in the season but I definitely did not control the mouths & actions of 15 adults. My intentions were purely strategic, & part of big brother is handling the pressure/mental warfare. Of course I had to make everyone feel like I was their ally – if they didn’t feel like they could gain some sort of advantage from me, then they would immediately discard me. Hope you guys enjoyed the madness this season & don’t waste your time talking shit because I literally never cared. 🌴 #friendship #bb19

sherry September 22, 2017 at 9:41 pm: Paul to the very end. He says he doesn’t care what people say
about him, but he apparently does, as he has done nothing
but make excuses for himself ever since he lost. He could
re-watch the shows from beginning to end 10 times and would
still not see that he did anything wrong. It would always
be someone else’s fault. Such a shame that someone with so
much in talent, wastes it all.

wow he really doesn’t have a clue! Thanks junksies! I don’t know where to go to find out about the things going on with the houseguest now that they’re out of the house! 😂😂😂

junksies September 22, 2017 at 10:34 pm: Debbie… Google Big Brother 19 and up comes a ton of web sites from which to choose. Joker’s Updates is my favorite and where I got the info about Paul. After all these years I have never signed up with Jokers and I don’t know how to maneuver through their forums. They have good links to interviews and other stuff… like the HG daily ratings. I hope you go there.

Lisa said she might post some comments either Thurs or Friday and I’m looking forward to that. She’s probably out and about enjoying her much deserved freedom from the blog.

Lisa… Thanks for putting up with me, and for all that you do for us.

If Christmas did not use The Ring Of Replacement for the OTEV competition, I think Cody would have won it, and he and Jessica would have been the final two contestants for the $500,000.

AC September 23, 2017 at 12:54 am

If if was a fifth….. 🙄

No of it means anything because we have no idea how it would have played out.

I don’t even know why I’m replying to a hypothetical statement after Big Brother already ended.

Tammy September 23, 2017 at 12:56 am

OMG!!! I decided to watch the last hour of BB finale again…You know, can’t see Paul lose enough..lol… I caught something I didn’t catch watching the first time… While the camera was going across the front row of the audience, first I saw the back of Frankie’s head, ya know you can’t miss that hair bobbing back and forth, and then I saw Nicole and Victor from last season all cuddled up together.. I rewinded a couple of times and sure enough it was them..They are a couple now!!!! I googled it and they have been dating for 3 months now since reuniting for this seasons BB comics The Revengers..They have been inseparable ever since! Just another sweet love story out of BB house…BB is talking about an All-star season and Nic said she would love to compete against her man Vic…As long as Frankie and Paul aren’t in it, it would be great!!! They look so cute together and Nic isn’t wearing those big black glasses that pinch her nose anymore…I guess $500,000 can buy you some good laser eye surgery…I didn’t know if y’all caught it… I’m so happy for them both..😘😘😘

junksies September 23, 2017 at 1:55 am

Tammy…I caught a 15 min or so video of them sitting outside somewhere, I think a restaurant, just talking about family and just being silly. Then, towards the end Victor said that we are probably wondering how they got together…he explained they had kept in touch just as friends after bb giving each other relationship advice of all things. Then, when they met for the taping of the revenge video…Nicole chimed in saying their meeting was “MAGICAL.” They are so cute together. When somebody asked Paul about their romance, Paul was shocked, thought it was a joke, saying he had no idea!!

Glad to see you return to the blog, even though it’s over, and that you feel better!

Tammy September 23, 2017 at 12:32 pm: Thanks junksies!!! Did you see the after party where it was “Jessica & Cody show??? They had more fans than I ever imagined..Cody was in jeans & a diff shirt & Jess was in a gorgeous full length gown, but it worked for them..Paul didn’t show cuz he said he didn’t think anyone wanted him there..(ya think)… They were absolutely perfect & Cody was really into it..I have never been a Amazing Race fan, but if Cody & Jess are on it, I will watch…Elana was posing with her big boobs sticking out & her puckered up lips in a pout..She looked sorta stupid, cuz she wasn’t pulling it off very well, but they were into it too…No one wanted to interview Matt & Raven at all, so not much of them on there…I was up half the night watching the videos on my ipad..It was pretty good stuff…I enjoyed it..

I am looking at my twins right now & Cody is sucking Jessie’s finger & Jessie is sucking Cody’s finger..It is sooooo cute…I took pics for my husband & family, but we don’t do fb or other social media & we don’t want pics of the twins out there…I wish y’all could see them, but my husband is adamant that we not put pics of them online..It’s a military thing..Hugs & kisses to all….

THE best backyard interviews I’ve found. Whitney Glen (sp?) is asking MOST of the questions that we want to hear answers to. (Audio feed only) :

junksies September 24, 2017 at 1:09 am

Tammy…I think that we may have watched the same thing. Cody and Jess were mobbed for autographs and pics by fans. Other guest were too, but not as much as these too. I read elsewhere that they were snobbish and ungrateful, but that is not true based on what I’ve seen.

There is a ton of info out there now from all kinds of different sources. It’s so fun to dig around!!

I’m glad you are protecting your babies from prying eyes…

Since most of the jury thought Christmas did not do much in the house, Josh would have probably still won the $500,000 if he had taken her to the final two instead of Paul. They gave the impression her kindness did not outweigh her gameplay.

One interesting part of BIG BROTHER 19 was watching Josh go from almost evicted to winning the $500,000, courtesy of Paul flipping most of the house to evict Ramses.

According to TV Guide:
America’s Favorite Houseguest from Season 19 Cody Nickson is going to give traveling the world a go with his showmance girlfriend Jessica Graf in the 30th season of The Amazing Race, according to The Hollywood Reporter. They join fellow Big Brother alums Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder and Rachel Reilly and Brendon Villegas as Amazing Race crossover pairs.

The couple are the only two cast members announced so far for the upcoming season. They’ll begin their journey in Washington Square Park (Fifth Ave. and Waverly Place) in New York on Sunday, Oct. 1 at 11:30 a.m.
