Big Brother 19 Spoilers: Temptation Competition Week 6 Winner and Loser Revealed

Josh Martinez could control the outcome of this Big Brother 19 week. As Head of Household, he should be able to get his target out. However, there are two strong forces trying to drive the result of this Big Brother 2017 week. Christmas Abbott’s agenda revolves around evicting Elena Davies. Paul Abrahamian’s goal is to see Jessica Graff walk out the Big Brother frontdoor on Thursday.

Cody Nickson is still a major threat for Josh, Christmas, and Paul, so he’s not out of the topic of conversation yet. However, Elena and Jessica have both shown stronger game prowess, especially socially and mentally. Cody is almost a non-entity without Jessica around. She controls his moves at the moment.

Elena is the smarter one of the Mark Jansen and her pairing. Additionally, Christmas and Josh see her close relationship with Paul. As Big Brother 19 fans know, this season is all about him and who is in his good graces. Christmas may see her as a threat to her game relationship with Paul. This week seems destined for a Jessica or Cody eviction, but there seems to be some room for the week to go a different direction.

Today, all the Big Brother 19 houseguests played in this week’s Temptation Competition. It was all a ploy to disrupt Jessica and Cody’s plans. They hoped that one of them would win this week’s Temptation Competition, and the other one would purposely lose it to go on the block and play for veto.

The houseguests want to stop both things. It’s going to be a 8 to 2 battle (Josh can’t play in it as HOH and Christmas opted out due to her injury).

So did Jessica or Cody beat the odds and win safety this week on Big Brother 19?

Major Spoiler Ahead. Proceed with Caution.

******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Things went according to Jessica and Cody’s plans. Cody Nickson won this week’s Temptation Competition. Jessica Graf came in last place to compete in the Power of Veto competition. They are one win away from both being safe and making jury. It doesn’t look good for Mark and Elena this week…

Dorinda Medley And John Mahdessian Vacation In The Bahamas – Photos

Luann de Lesseps might not be having the best week, but Dorinda Medley sure is, enjoying the Bahamas with boyfriend John Mahdessian. Whether you love them together or hate them together, you can’t deny they look happy.

John and Dorinda took to Instagram to share pictures of their trip, where they swam with pigs on Exumas Island and stayed at the One and Only Beach Club. John posted the picture above, adding, “Enjoying some time off.” See their pics below.

As for Luann’s bad week, Dorinda gave the following statement to People about Tom and Luann’s split, “I’m just very saddened, you know. It’s always sad to see a marriage break up and obviously so quickly. I wish them the best. I’m very sad. It’s heartbreaking, really. It’s heartbreaking for Luann, too, because I love her and I know how much she loves Tom.”

Dorinda added, “Luann is very good at [remaining friendly] with all her exes. I think obviously this one might be hard at the beginning, but Luann is not like that. She keeps it moving. She makes a decision. Every one of her exes she’s still very close to. I’m sure it will take time. I love Luann — she’s a good girl. She deserves happiness and I’m here to help her whatever way I can.”

Luann D’Agostino Says When Sonja Morgan Drinks, Kissing Will Follow

While we are all still reeling over Luann D’Agostino‘s divorce bombshell from yesterday afternoon, she’s busy reflecting on this week’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York City.

Luann shared in her latest Bravo blog that she’s been enjoying the wild Mexico ride as much as we are. “Our trip to Mexico had it all: falling down, making out, and making up!” She says they were beyond tipsy and pretty much drank their day away together. “We had a glass in our hands ALL day! It’s not surprising that things got a little crazy after we got back to the villa.”

On Sonja’s frisky and flirty behavior, Luann shares, “Sonja hardly drinks anymore, but when she does, she goes all in. Bethenny should know by now that if she runs around naked in front of Sonja when she’s been drinking, smooching will ensue… and it did! I did my part by grabbing the pitcher out of Sonja’s hands when she started drinking from it.” Lu says that a day of pampering the following day was, “just what the hangover doctor ordered!”

On Bethenny and Ramona‘s naked heart to heart in the pool, “I was glad that Ramona and Bethenny made up. Ramona has a good heart, but she can be mean sometimes, and so can Bethenny. Life is hard enough without your friends making it even harder.”

Luann shares that she loves Dorinda‘s ability to own her shit and get over things in a snap. “Dorinda Medley should have stayed in bed that night like me, because she was just too tired and too buzzed to have dinner with the girls. The next morning, she owned up for what she said to Bethenny and apologized. That’s what I love about Dorinda—she says she’s sorry and moves on. She doesn’t hold grudges, and she’s right—minus the alcohol, there wouldn’t have been an argument.”

Luann ends her blog with, “All in all, this trip had more roses than thorns for all of us! Thank you to Bethenny and the La Vida Dulce Villa staff for making this a great vacation. Until next week, viva la Mexico!”

Meghan Edmonds “Was Not Surprised” When Kelly Dodd Texted Her About Jim Edmonds

After three episodes on her own, Meghan Edmonds finally interacted with another cast member on Real Housewives of Orange County and of all people it was Kelly Dodd. Meghan shared that she texted Kelly to ask if she was having an affair and that she got super offended when Kelly told her that she heard Meghan’s husband Jim Edmonds was having an affair.

In my eyes, they basically committed the same offense, but Meghan thinks it’s a million times worse of Kelly to say because she was pregnant – which seems like a major stretch to me. Fortunately for Meghan (as a person) this whole exchanged happened via text message and before the season started filming. Unfortunately for Meghan (as a reality TV show cast member) this whole exchanged happened via text message and before the season started filming and she doesn’t have a strong story line so far.

Meghan opened up about the last episode in her Bravo blog.

Of course Meghan had to defend her comments she made about not asking her cousin about her nanny qualifications before hiring her: “I’m finally back in the OC with the rest of the girls and am so excited that you get to meet my cousin, Bridget, this week! And yes, it might have slipped my mind to ask her for her qualifications to be a nanny, but I’ve known her my entire life and it was definitely the best decision. It turns out she’s very qualified and has been a nanny prior to working for us. I love that I’m able to have someone that I know and trust!”

People need to chill with the mommy shaming. Obviously Meghan was just saying that she knows her cousin well and didn’t feel the need to interrogate her before giving her the job.

She also addressed her situation with Kelly Dodd: “It was so nice to see Kelly Dodd after months of only talking via texts – even if some of the texts weren’t the nicest. I had texted Kelly after I heard a rumor and decided that I should go straight to the source to clear it up. I honestly thought that it was okay for me to ask her about the rumor because I know that Kelly has been open about her non-traditional marriage. She has talked about being publicly separated previously and being engaged to another man during the course of her marriage. I didn’t mean any harm by asking her about it, but unfortunately, that’s how it was perceived.”

Meghan continued, “Kelly even acknowledges that how she goes after people isn’t exactly ‘normal,’ so I wasn’t shocked when I later got the text from her about Jimmy. Hurt? Yes. But definitely not surprised. I didn’t want the added stress of a friend being mean to me while I was pregnant, so I more or less it go at the time.” Again, I have to say that I feel like they committed pretty parallel offenses here.

Still Meghan teased, “Like they say, time heals all wounds – or does it? Stay tuned.” She also said, “I’ve done a pretty good job staying out of the drama so far…looks like that might change next week!”

Shervin Roohparvar Explains Loyalty To Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi; Teases Relationship Drama This Season

With all of the constantly changing friendships on Shahs of Sunset, the one friendship that seems to be pretty stable is the friendship between Shervin Roohparvar and Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi. No matter what she does or who she offends, Shervin just looks for the best in her and is loyal to no end.

Other than turning up, defending GG, and providing some comic relief between screaming matches, Shervin started off this season in a serious relationship with Annalise.

Shervin opened up about his time on the show for an interview on The Morning Breath.  In regard to his romantic relationship, Shervin explained, “We kind of build it up. We don’t see each other as often, but when we do, we are together for twenty four hours for three weeks, four weeks.”

Host Claudia Oshry asked Shervin, “You alluded to it a little on the show [Watch What Happens Live] last night and I’m not going to make you say something to spoil, but are you still together?” Shervin didn’t exactly answer the question, but he did say, “Ummmm. I can kind of tell you what I said last night. You guys are gonna have to watch the season to see.”

That doesn’t bode well and Claudia agreed since she declared, “I have a theory.” Claudia said, “On Watch What Happens Live, a caller called and said ‘Have you cheated on your girlfriend or would you ever?’ And you were like ‘Absolutely not, but funny enough, something happens this season.’ So I’m thinking that she cheated on you.” Shervin didn’t answer, but sometimes no answer is all you need to know.

When asked about his loyalty to GG, Shervin admitted, “It’s kind of hard to explain to people who don’t really know her. She has an awesome heart. She has the biggest, biggest, biggest heart. Then she gets frustrated really quick and she jumps from one assumption to the next to the next.”

Shervin continued, “I kind of see her for who she is and I can see that she’s frustrated and it’s kind of just jumping. I feel bad. If she didn’t intend to do something mean, I don’t consider something mean.”

When asked if GG‘s bad girl alter ego Lochnesa has “returned in recent memory,” Shervin revealed, “Actually, she’s doing really good.”

Claudia asked, “Do you want to continue to do the show?” And Shervin had the most amusing answer: “I enjoy it. It’s kind of one of those things – excuse my language – but you can’t unf*ck it, right? Once you’re in, you’re in.” Fair enough.

Big Brother 19 Spoilers: Live Feeds Day 34 Highlights: The Battle For Power Over Josh

Big Brother 19 concluded yesterday’s episode with Jessica Graf using the Halting Hex to save Cody Nickson and herself. Following the halted eviction, Jessica and Cody really needed a Head of Household win, or they could expect a repeat of this Big Brother week: they would be on the block with one of them about to leave the house.

Unfortunately for them, Josh Martinez won this week’s Big Brother Head of Household competition. The duo could expect their worst nightmare coming true with Josh having all the power to see one of them go. As the night feeds took place, we saw Christmas Abbott and Paul Abrahamian already starting their power struggle to control Josh’s HOH this week.

Who to Target?

Last week, Jessica made it clear that she is a way better Big Brother player than Cody. He remained silent while she called out each and every Big Brother 19 player on their shady game behavior. Jessica also laid out Paul’s entire game right in front of his face, and didn’t back down when he tried his usual manipulative tactics.

Therefore, Paul really wants to get Jessica out this week. He even devised a plan where the house would tell Jessica and Cody that Cody was going home, only to blindside them on Thursday by voting out Jessica.

Not everyone agreed to Paul’s demand. Josh really wants to get Cody out this week. He doesn’t like him, and wants to taunt him as he leaves the Big Brother 19 house. Other Big Brother 19 players also mentioned getting out Cody first, for ‘the house environment.’

However, Paul made it clear that he wasn’t going to let his minions easily change his plan. He kept mentioning that they should really think about it, and not dismiss the idea of taking out Jessica first. They all agreed it would be decided later, once they saw who won the Temptation Competition.

Stacking the Deck

Paul insisted that everyone (minus Christmas because of her injury) needs to play in this week’s Temptation Competition. He wants to minimize Cody and Jessica’s odds of winning it. Kevin Schlehuber also suggested that one of them lose this week’s Temptation Competition to ensure that a strong player plays in the Power of Veto against Jessica and Cody.

Jessica and Cody also want to make sure that one of them comes in last place to have the option to play in the Veto. Paul also suggested that Josh just straight out nominate Jessica and Alex Ow, so Alex plays in Veto and wins it. Then Cody goes up as her replacement.

Paul also suggested that if Cody’s name gets pulled from the Veto drawing, Christmas uses her Ring of Replacement to take him out of the competition. She said she would have to see about using her power: Christmas used the excuse that she wanted to make sure it was a competition that she could compete in due to her injury.

We’ll have to see if everyone really plays in the Temptation Competition today. There were quite a few players hesitant about it, and even more so about the possibility of going on the block.

Alex Vs Mark and Elena

After the Head of Household competition, Alex decided to call out Mark Jansen for not being extremely enthusiastic about Josh’s win. She basically berated him for multiple things. However, Mark didn’t back down, and they had a long hostile conversation. It mainly revolved around Mark playing both sides.

Eventually, it got back to Elena Davies how Alex also brought her name up in the conversation. Alex seems to be getting a little too confident and cocky. Cody also mentioned that when the feeds were down, Alex basically shoved him hard out of her way as they were both walking in the same direction.

Her target is definitely growing more by the day.

Amongst the Alex drama, Mark told Elena how he’s jealous of Elena and Paul. The two are very touchy with each other, and Elena has been wearing some of Paul’s clothing.

Head of Household Room Reveal

Josh was understandably emotional about reading a letter from his mother. The most interesting thing about Josh’s Head of Household room reveal was the sleeping arrangements. He asked Kevin to sleep in his HOH room with him. However, Paul volunteered to do it, and then Christmas as well.

This is a clear sign that both want to have a huge say in Josh’s ultimate decision for the week. Christmas seems to be slightly trying to sway him to get out Elena or Cody. Paul wants Jessica out.

Luann D’Agostino’s RHONY Costars React To Her Divorce Announcement

After Luann D’Agostino [de Lesseps] confirmed news that she and husband of seven months, Tom D’Agostino, were divorcing, some of Luann’s Real Housewives Of New York cast mates extended kind words to the former Countess.

Despite their misgivings about Tom – and in some cases, their personal dating histories with him – Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, and Dorinda Medley reached out on social media and news outlets to offer empathy and support. Their statements, much like their TV personalities, varied widely.

Sonja gave a statement to E! News explaining that she will always be there for Luann, but didn’t indicate whether she’d spoken to her after the divorce news broke. She said, “I told Luann I’m there for her whether this worked out or not and here I am. Men come and go, and at the end the day, we have our girlfriends, don’t we?”

Dorinda took a more serious approach, lamenting how tough it is to see a marriage break up (especially in the public eye). She told US Weekly, “It’s always a sad thing when a marriage doesn’t work and I hope everyone respects their privacy during this sad time,” She added that she wishes the both Luann and Tom “the best.” Having been the one to first introduce Luann and Tom, and later being the only Housewife who attended their Palm Beach wedding, Dorinda is likely feeling Luann’s pain on a deeper level.

On Thursday, Luann tweeted confirmation that she and Tom were divorcing with the following statement: “It’s with great sadness that Tom & I agreed to divorce. We care for each other very much, hope you respect our privacy during this sad time!”

Ramona replied shortly afterward, tweeting, “I am so sad for you ….” Ramona hasn’t given the press any further statements, but one can only hope she doesn’t use this opportunity to blast Luann about her mistakes.

The New York Housewives weren’t the only ones reacting to Luann’s news. After it broke on several news outlets and was later confirmed by Luann herself on Twitter, the internet went crazy.

Some viewers blasted Tom, whose reputation as a cheater, liar, and all around user came to light repeatedly this past year. Others offered support for Luann, who might have walked into this marriage with her eyes open, but seemed to have truly loved this dirtbag man.

And finally, there are the “I told you so” crowd, who predicted all along that this marriage was doomed. Although I’d count myself as part of this last camp, I got nothin’ but love for Luann. I hope she bounces back from this bump in the road better than ever. I mean, this woman can rise from a tumble into the bushes without a scratch on her, only to look fab surfing the next day! That’s a bada$$ chick.

Lydia McLaughlin Says She’s Ready To “Move Forward” After Briana Culberson “Lied” About Her Mom At The Season 8 Reunion

Once again, I found myself being jealous of one of the Real Housewives kids having an over the top birthday party. First Tamra Judge’s daughter Ava had a unicorn themed party in a beer garden. Now, Lydia McLaughlin’s son is living it up at a movie themed party, complete with a red carpet and screening for his friends.

I would kill to have one of these parties to celebrate my birthday. Nevertheless, Lydia’s party this week didn’t really move the plot forward on Real Housewives of Orange County. Good for her though, this is the one week she isn’t stirring up involved in the drama.

Since Lydia didn’t have any drama this week, her Bravo blog post was pretty light and fluffy. She discussed why her dad wasn’t present for her son’s party: “My dad goes back and forth from Canada to Orange County a lot. He is very involved in my and my boys’ lives, but sometimes he has to be at work, even when we know his heart is with us. I grew up with him working a lot, so this is something I’m used to. He is a great husband, father, and grandfather to my boys.” Completely understandable. It’s tough to make it to every event.

Of course Lydia didn’t miss a chance to plug her magazine when she discussed her brother’s appearance in the episode: “You also get to meet my brother Jesse, whom I very close with. He works with us on NOBLEMAN MAGAZINE, and he is the best uncle to my boys.”

Lydia did get a little shady toward the end of her blog though, writing, “I’m proud of my mom for moving forward with everything that happened with Briana [Culberson] and Ryan [Culberson].” Nice enough, but she couldn’t help stirring shit up a little with this next statement: “It does sting a little for me, watching the flashback of the reunion where Briana tells lies about my mom in an attempt to justify her husband’s behavior, but I will take a page from my mother’s playbook and move forward and try to take the high road. Nothing but love all around.” Accusing someone of lying is not my definition of “moving forward” or “taking the high road.” I cannot wait until Vicki Gunvalson catches wind of Lydia’s comment about Briana.

Big Brother 19 Recap: Did Jessica Use the Halting Hex Tonight? 8/3/2017

Three weeks ago, America voted to give Jessica Graf the final reward from the Den of Temptation.  Jessica was granted the Halting Hex, a power unlike any others used before in the Big Brother house.  Jessica had the option of using the power of the hex last night thus thwarting the live eviction, or Jessica could have followed through with her deal with Paul Abrahamian.  That deal would have sent Cody Nickson home last night during the live eviction.

Julie Chen opened the show by sharing with viewers that the mere threat of Jessica’s hex made this past week one of the most explosive and dramatic weeks in Big Brother history.  The drama that unfolded between the houseguests was unparalleled.  Most of the drama that unfolded was between “Jody” and the rest of the Big Brother house.

After Paul dropped the bombshell on Jessica about Cody’s week two plan with Matt Clines, Jessica beat feet directly to Matt for verification.  When approached by Jessica, Matt refused to answer her questions directly simply stating that the information was no longer relevant to game of Big Brother.  Not satisfied with his response, Jessica went directly to Cody for information.

When Jessica approached Cody, she came at him questioning if her family would like or dislike Cody and the way he has treated her in the Big Brother game.  Finally, Jessica confronted Cody with the information she was given by Paul.  Cody absolutely denied the information as true and walked away from the conversation.

While Jessica was approaching Matt and Cody about Paul’s bombshell, Paul was running around the Big Brother house trying to gather approval for the deal he wanted to make with Jessica.  Paul asked Jessica what exactly she would want in return for not using the hex this week therefore sending Cody home.  Jessica wanted guaranteed safety from eviction for two weeks and also a promise that Alex Ow would be evicted regardless of who won Head of Household (HOH).  Paul was trying to plead his case to all of the houseguests so that he could make the deal with Jessica and send Cody out the door once again.

At the Power of Veto (POV) meeting, Jessica nor Cody made any attempt to sway Paul into using the POV to save them from eviction.  Not surprisingly, Paul decided to use his POV to save Jason Dent.  Paul wanted to ensure that Jason did not go home with so much uncertainty in the Big Brother house this week.  Paul’s decision came as no surprise to the houseguests.

After the POV meeting, the drama inside the Big Brother house hit an all time high.  A simple misunderstanding sent Jessica into a tail spin.  This all began by Jessica accusing houseguests of stopping their conversations whenever she entered a room.  Jessica specifically targeted Raven Walton with these accusations which Raven took very personally.  Raven insisted to Jessica that she, Kevein Schlehuber, and Jason were not talking about her when she came into the bedroom.  Jessica was not the least bit convinced.

As Jessica expected, Raven immediately went to Paul with the news about their disagreement.  Once Paul confronted Jessica about the altercation, all bets were off with Jessica helping to send Cody home this week.  Once Paul knew that Jody were public enemy number one again, Paul unleashed Josh Martinez to irritate and aggravate them to an extreme.  Josh announced that it was circus time while wearing his green tutu.  Josh proceeded to march around the house, like a meatball, banging his pots and pans while singing the circus song.  He didn’t get the reaction he was hoping for from Cody.

Once Alex accused Jessica of hiding her cat ears earlier in the Big Brother game, the entire house erupted against Jody.  Many of the houseguests made crude remarks to both Cody and Jessica.  All the while, Josh was running around the backyard with pots and pans, where Jody were trying to chat.  The houseguests behavior towards Jody should at the very least be questioned as potentially rough and a bit on the bullying side.

At the live eviction, Jessica announced that she would be using the Halting Hex.  For the first time, all of the houseguests were educated as to the exact power of the Halting Hex.  As anticipated, the live eviction was immediately called off and no one was evicted from the Big Brother house last evening. Jessica, in particular, seemed to have an incredible cocky air about her once the power of the hex was revealed to the group.  One can only assume that she wasn’t certain the houseguests believed her Halting Hex was real until this point.

Once the live eviction was cancelled, the next HOH competition was played.  This week’s HOH competition was called Gravestone Golf.  The houseguests had to putt an eyeball down the graveyard course into numbered slots ranging from 1-35.  The houseguest with the highest score after one round won HOH.  The scores were as follows:

• Matt scored a 6
• Alex scored a 2
• Mark Jansen scored a 15
• Jason scored a 15
• Cody scored a 21
• Christmas Abbott scored a 21
• Elena Davies scored a 13
• Jessica scored a 2
• Josh scored a 23
• Raven scored a 13
• Kevin scored a 6

Josh won the HOH competition and now holds all the power.  Don’t forget that the Temptation Competition and the Power of Veto will both be played this week which can change the game instantly.  Stay tuned to se who Josh nominates to the block for eviction this week.
