Big Brother 19 — Last Night Was A Night For Live Feeds!

Hi, everyone!

As I sit here typing this, the veto comp is underway.  Just to recap, here’s the current situation in the house:

The house is divided into two factions: There’s the Jessica, Cody, Mark, and Elena faction and then there’s Paul’s group, which features basically everyone else.  Some people are more loyal to Paul than others but, for the most part, it’s everyone against Jessica and Cody.  Everyone knows about the halting hex.

As a result of the Temptation challenge, Mark won immunity and Jason went on the block as this week’s third nominee.

Even knowing that this week’s eviction will probably be canceled by the hex, Paul went ahead and nominated Jessica and Cody for eviction.

Now, here’s where things got interesting.  Last night was a night that definitely reminded me why it’s a good idea to get the live feeds.  Several very dramatic fights broke out.  I imagine that they’ll be featured on Wednesday’s show but they’ll probably only be shown in edited form.  And that’s a shame because, seriously, the drama was insane last night!

Basically, after the nominations, Paul invited Cody and Jessica up to the HoH room so that they could talk about why Paul nominated them.  At first, it was just Paul and Jessica talking and the conversation was, at the very least, calm.  Jessica was not happy about being nominated but she didn’t seem to be extremely shocked.  Then Cody stepped into the room and announced, “This week means nothing!” From there, the conversation pretty much descended into a shouting match between the three of them, with Cody appearing about as angry as I’ve ever seen him in the house.  Paul, at one point, told Jessica to lower her voice, which led to Cody shouting at Paul not to tell Jessica what to do.  Paul ordered them to leave his room.  “What are you going to do about it!?” Cody replied. Cody did finally leave the room but he kept shouting at Paul as he did so,

Needless to say, Jessica was not happy with Cody.  Jessica says she was trying to smooth things over with Paul before Cody came in and started up all the drama again.  Now, both of them have even bigger targets than before on their back.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Josh once again decided to give one of his endless monologues about how he believes that Mark is not a man and he basically accused Mark of being Cody’s lapdog.  (While that may be correct, it’s somewhat hypocritical for Josh to accuse anyone of being a lapdog, considering the fact that he doesn’t even breathe unless Paul gives him permission first.)  Mark sat at the table while Josh went on and on and on.  Kevin and Jason tried to distract everyone by making jokes and suggesting a game of twister but Josh just kept going.  Finally, Josh grabbed some pots and pans and started singing his little circus song.  Mark finally snapped, jumped up, and rushed at Josh.  As Kevin moved in between them, the feeds quickly went to fish.

That was a lot of drama.  For me, it was interesting to watch because I don’t like anyone in the house.  Therefore, I could watch without taking sides.  My opinion — and everyone’s welcome to disagree — is that Cody should have kept quiet and that Josh is an annoying punk.  Don’t get me wrong.  I don’t like Paul.  I don’t like Mark.  But seriously, it made sense for Paul to go ahead and nominate Jessica and Cody.  (What was he supposed to do?  Give them all an extra week of safety on top of the one that they already have?)  As for Josh, my opinion is that someone in the diary room told Josh that people loved it when he started taunting Cody and Jessica during the HoH comp.  Someone told him, “People love it when you call the other houseguests Meatballs.  People love it when you do your stupid little circus song.”  I’ll admit that it’s good for drama but I have to wonder if Josh gets that people aren’t laughing with him as much as they’re laughing at him.

Anyway, the veto comp is still going on!  The players are Paul, Jessica, Cody, Jason, Kevin, and Raven.  Both Kevin and Raven have indicated that they’re planning on throwing the comp to Paul.  If Jason wins the veto, he’ll take himself off the block and, since he’s the third nominee, I imagine there won’t be a replacement nominee.  If either Jessica or Cody wins the veto … well, they have the hex so it really doesn’t matter.

This may be a wasted week but it’s been great for drama!
