The Big Brother final 4 gives the Veto holder all the power. This is when the Veto holds the most power. The other time the Power of Veto holds a lot of power is during a double eviction. Tonight, the Big Brother 19 Double of Eviction means everything.
With a few players in danger, the Veto could determine their game fate. If they win it, they get to protect themselves and maybe their closest ally. If they lose the Power of Veto competition, then it makes them the second member of the Big Brother 19 jury.
We expect people working hard than they have all season for that critical Power of Veto. Right now Jason Dent just nominated Mark Jansen and Elena Davies. Mark needs it most or his Big Brother 19 game is about to end. Can Mark pull it off?
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

Raven Walton, Josh Martinez, and Matt Clines were the additional players chosen to compete with Elena Davies, Mark Jansen, and Jason Dent. They had to solve a series of puzzle and put all pieces together.
Mark and Jason were the first to move to the second puzzle. Elena followed them. Mark and Jason then moved to puzzle three. Josh finally moved on to puzzle two. Mark Jansen won the Power of Veto.

Cody Nickson has been evicted from the Big Brother 19 house. This opens the door wide open for anyone else to be evicted tonight. For the majority of the season, the houseguests have united to get rid of him. They have finally succeed. This is good for Paul Abrahamian (as Cody was his biggest obstacle to the Big Brother 19 crown), but bad for anyone else.
Cody was a big target and a meat shield for the entire house. Now that he is gone, any and everyone could become a target. The players most in danger tonight are Mark Jansen, Elena Davies, Kevin Schlehuber, and Alex Ow. Paul has set his target on Mark and Kevin, but if for some reason Mark and Kevin become ineligible for eviction, Elena would probably go next. However, Matt Clines is not yet out of the running as a target.
Alex would only become a target if Elena and Mark won this double eviction Head of Household. Kevin, Elena, and Mark really need to win it, or it may be the end of their Big Brother game. Prior to the Big Brother eviction, houseguests practiced on a shuffleboard. This could be this week’s Head of Household competition or the Power of Veto one.
If it’s the HOH competition, anyone can win because it will be purely based on chance.
So who gained safety (and some power) by winning tonight’s Head of Household competition? And who did they nominate for eviction? Read below to find out.
Major Spoiler Ahead. Proceed with Caution.

Tonight two players will leave the Big Brother 19 house. Every year, Big Brother fans wait with hope and anticipation for the double eviction. The Big Brother Double Evictions are like Christmas (the holiday) for fans. We watch on the edge of our seats, with hope of a good blindside, a huge player leaving the game, or desperate campaigning to stay in the Big Brother 19 game.
Unfortunately, tonight’s Big Brother 19 live eviction feels like it might be anti-climatic. We expect more of the same thing as previous weeks: Paul Abrahamian commanding his minions, and them doing exactly as he planned. Paul has put a plan in motion to evict Cody Nickson at the start of the hour, and then either Mark Jansen, Elena Davies, Kevin Schlehuber or Matt Clines by the end of the hour.
Elena and Matt are the two players more safe in this circumstance. Therefore, if Paul really gets his way, Cody and Kevin or Mark will leave by the end of the hour.
So how did the first Big Brother 19 Double Eviction play out?
MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION

The post Thursday Night Tea & What’s On Reality TV – August 17th appeared first on Reality Tea.
Season ten of Flipping Out is upon us, people! And it’s going to be a whole new world for first time fathers Gage Edward and Jeff Lewis, whose daughter, Monroe, was born via surrogate last October. Jeff recently discussed how life – and his OCD – has (and has not) changed since Monroe came into their lives and how he finally had to let his long time housekeeper and mother figure, Zoila Chavez, retire.
With enormous life changes this year, Jeff says the viewers are in for a different kind of season. He does, however, admit that his crusty old ways aren’t entirely gone. (For example, preview clips show Vanina Alfaro being brought to tears by yet another one of Jeff’s tirades.) But daily life has changed for Jeff. Besides the laundry, diapers, and toys, he’s still getting used to something else – someone else – needing his attention besides work.
True to form, Jeff is also still trying to maintain a pristine home – not an easy feat, as anyone with children knows! Jeff told the Huffington Post in an interview, “I can’t have this turn into a day care center. I can’t do it. I can’t live that way! (Laughs) I think I am a little traumatized by my brother because his kids completely take over his house, so I’m trying so hard not to have my house be my brother’s house that I’m working double-time!”
Besides keeping his home show-ready, Jeff is also still trying to manage a business. But his people skills, or lack thereof, are always a work is progress. He admits that his behavior in the office can be abrasive, but sometimes, it’s also a necessary evil. And he also hopes his daughter learns to stand up for herself by following his lead. “I don’t like to lose my temper because then you are giving up some of your power to the person you’re arguing with. I also don’t want to lose my shit in front of my kid – that’s not the example I want to set, but I do want her to stand up for herself when someone is pushing her around.”
In terms of how fatherhood has affected the show’s content, Jeff says he just doesn’t have the same time to prank people and joke around in the office that he used to. He explains how his priorities have shifted: “It’s because I need to get my work done so I can spend time with my baby before she goes to bed. It really has changed everything. I’ve also had to become more selective about which clients I take on and I’m working on more of my own projects. Having Monroe as my priority and making sure I spend time with my daughter has also dramatically impacted hiring decisions.”
RELATED: Zoila Chavez Retires As Jeff Lewis’ Housekeeper After Eighteen Years!
The recent departure of Zoila, who helped take care of Monroe for her first six months, has also impacted how the household runs. Jeff shares, “If it were up to me, Zoila would have been here forever and I would have kept altering her role. I came to realize I was holding her hostage and had to make the decision…really…that I needed to let her go…It was hard. I was afraid of what life would look like without her. I know she’s happy so that’s what I choose to focus on, but I really miss her! ”
Something tells me that Zoila, who has been spending time in Nicaragua with her family, will always be part of Jeff’s life. Similarly, Jenni Pulos is in for the long haul – and was even named as godmother to baby Monroe! Jeff says he’s relied heavily on Jenni for parenting advice over the past year, joking, “She’s my baby mentor.”
No stranger to the world of Bravolebrities, Jeff dishes that he recently started talking to Bethenny Frankel about design and house flipping – especially with her new real estate show poised to hit Bravo soon. Would he ever collaborate with Bethenny on a flip, though? Jeff says probably not, as traveling to New York for projects is just too taxing these days.
For now, Jeff is focused on keeping his business local, and his family strong. He gushes about his partner, Gage, calling him “one of the most amazing hands-on dads I’ve ever witnessed. He’s so nurturing and the primary caregiver. I take his lead and he tells me ‘get this,’ ‘get that,’ ‘do this.’ He’s so confident and comfortable that I just let him make most decisions. For major decisions, we consult each other, but really he’s a natural. I fumble and question things. I think he’s a lot better with moods.” Yes, for sure! But underneath all of that gruff and grumble, I think Jeff is a big ole’ softie too. And I can’t wait to see him embrace his new role.
Season 10 of Flipping Out premieres tonight at 10 Eastern/9 Central on Bravo. Check out a preview clip here. And join us here in the comments section to weigh in on all of the action!

Love her or hate her, if you watch Real Housewives of Dallas, you have LeeAnne Locken to thank for making season one interesting and giving Bravo a reason to renew the show for its second season. If it wasn’t for LeeAnne, RHOD would have been (even more of) a total snooze fest last year.
Still, LeeAnne surprisingly took a backseat during the season two premiere thanks to the rift between Brandi Redmond and Stephanie Hollman. LeeAnne didn’t fade into the background though. She inserted herself in the feud to protect her new BFF Brandi.
LeeAnne opened up about the episode in her Bravo blog.
She admitted, “I was surprised, however, as I watched this first episode, to see Stephanie Hollman, someone who was so adamant against gossiping at the reunion, gossiping away on camera by reading the blog of someone she knows truly despises me.” Not only did Stephanie read the blog out loud, but she also seemed to be truly amused by the scandal.
LeeAnne claimed, “I’ve also come to see that the sweet, innocent person I thought Stephanie was is not who she actually is. In fact, I was shocked to hear her call Brandi Redmond a ‘mean girl,’ while blaming her marriage difficulties on Brandi. I could never imagine speaking like that about someone I love or have loved, no matter how hurt I was.”
Even though LeeAnne has turned into Brandi’s BFF and is against Stephanie during the first episode, one person she seems to be all right with is Cary Deuber. Or at least that’s what she thought… until she actually watched the episode.
She explained, “You can imagine how strange and sad it was for me to see her sit there during this episode, saying nothing, while Stephanie curiously (and excitedly) read this gossip. It was like she was fine letting Stephanie’s words roll out, keeping her mouth shut about my side of things. There I was, giving Cary an open-hearted opportunity, and it seems, by listening to her confessionals, that she has no desire to either get to know me nor to give me a chance. So, my question is, why even act like you care? If, in reality, you don’t. I agreed at the dog park that it wasn’t my position to have ever brought up Cary’s situation, and yet, she didn’t seem to care that Stephanie went on her juicy gossip spree about me.”
LeeAnne didn’t hold back her feelings when she said, “Over all, I’m finding that both Cary and Stephanie, while being polite to my face, are being very nasty behind the scenes.” She continued, “For Cary to explain how much she was hurt and then do nothing while Stephanie read the blog, has made me question if either her pain was real or if she’s just interested in seeing me in pain?” Truth be told, Cary doesn’t seem to have any interest in LeeAnne other than making an entertaining reality TV show with her.
And then LeeAnne got to that text message Brandi told her about en route to Mark Deuber’s birthday party. Brandi told her not to mention it to anyone, but LeeAnne totally forgot about that and confronted Cary about it that same night. LeeAnne wrote, “In the car, when Brandi told me about Stephanie’s text message, every ounce of me ignited into flames. I felt so lied to, played, and manipulated. The question is, who did all of that to me? Was it Stephanie? Or was it Cary?”
She explained, “That’s why I went back into Mark’s party to ask Cary for the truth, with no one else in between. When she said that she didn’t reach out to Stephanie and that she had nothing to do with the text message Stephanie sent to Brandi, it put all of my focus on Stephanie. After all, I had to trust what Cary was saying. What other choice did I have? Then, I just became so confused at Stephanie’s philosophy. How could someone who wants the world to view her as sweet and innocent be so blatantly cruel? It hurt.” Damn. Those are some fighting words.

Ready to go back to the future? The rumors of a return to The Jetsons are true! ABC and Warner Bros are officially developing a live-action sitcom version of The Jetsons, the futuristic...Tonight is the first Big Brother 19 Double Eviction. Based on the number of houseguests left, we do not think this will be the only double eviction. For now, the outcome seems rather bleak and obvious for Big Brother 19 fans. We are now at the point in the season where we must wonder, will anyone make a big move?
Cody Nickson is an easy target. However, he could have been a huge asset to many of the Big Brother 19 players. He has no true allies, he is good at competitions, and he can hold a secret when necessary. Yet, he is leaving the Big Brother 19 house tonight.
It is hard to see any path where Cody doesn’t leave tonight. Elena Davies may have made Alex Ow upset by taking the $5,000, and cursing her with a Camp Guide punishment, but Paul Abrahamian wants Cody out of the game. And what Paul wants, Paul gets in the Big Brother 19 game.
The intrigue tomorrow will come with whoever wins this week’s Head of Household and Veto competition. Most likely, anyone who isn’t Mark Jansen-and to a lesser extent-Elena, will nominate and evict Elena or Mark after Cody walks out those doors. There is also a major possibility that Kevin Schlehuber might walk out the Big Brother 19 doors as well.
Paul has put in a lot of work this week into placing a huge target on Kevin. Even Kevin’s closest allies, Jason Dent and Alex, now want him out of the game.
According to our recent double eviction poll, 42 percent of voters believe Cody will leave during the double eviction, 21 percent think Elena is next to go, followed by Mark with 16 percent, and only 6 percent see a possibility of Paul leaving tonight.
Christmas Abbott, Jason, and Alex got the least amount of votes.
We think the readers are probably right. Once Cody leaves, Elena or Mark will go next, most likely Mark unless he wins the Power of Veto.

The party Meghan Edmonds had for her newborn baby during the last episode of Real Housewives of Orange County was beyond awkward. Sure, it was a beautiful event, but meeting baby Aspen was eclipsed by all the drama between the cast since this was the first time all season that they were all in the same room.
Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge are still doing what they can to ignore Vicki Gunvalson, even though they are all on the same reality TV show together. Peggy Sulahian is still being super rude and making zero sense. It was a relatively calm episode in comparison to others this season, but there was still a lot going on.
In her Bravo blog, Meghan recalled, “The tension was definitely THICK all day, and it was so awkward to see everyone on the couch together while I opened presents, but I’m happy that we got through the day with no drama. Maybe Aspen should be at every event! Ha!”
That baby is just so cute, so I would be down for her appearing at other parties and going on cast trips. Anyway, back to the tension.
It was kind of surprising that Meghan invited Peggy to the event since she had the nerve to physically close Meghan’s lips shut during the previous episode, but Meghan explained, “I do still feel that Peggy was in the wrong for pinching my lips, but I know what it’s like to be the new girl and potentially make a bad first impression, so I wanted to include her at the Sip-N-See to give her another chance.”
Meghan said what most of the viewers have been thinking this whole season: “It’s just so difficult to understand her sometimes.”
Peggy’s mixed up metaphors, offensive jokes, and rudeness are making Kelly Dodd look like a debutante in comparison. Meghan continued, “When she was saying that I was trying to wake up a dead horse and I should let it stay dead—what?! The whole time I was on the phone with her, I was confused. When she asked if I knew what ‘ears ringing’ meant (yes, I know what it means), I didn’t understand that she had just been talking about me. I simply thought that she was asking an awkwardly-timed question. ”
Fair enough. So far a lot of the things Peggy says have been poorly timed or just nonsensical in general so that does make sense, but at the same time, Meghan should have at least suspected that Peggy was just talking about her when she brought up the phrase “ears ringing.” After all, that is what it means.
Meghan continued, “Peggy was hardly talking into the receiver on her phone, so it was hard to hear her on top of not fully understanding. I didn’t even realize that Diko [Sulahian] was there the whole time and that she was actually talking to him while she was on the phone with me. If I hadn’t been so confused, I would have thought it was very rude to be having a side conversation after accepting my phone call.” It was rude.
Then, Meghan turned her attention to Kelly‘s attempts to make peace with Tamra and Shannon, “I’m glad that Tamra, Shannon and Kelly all sat down together to talk.” Still, she didn’t pass up the chance to shade Kelly. She remarked, “It was interesting, though, to hear Kelly say that she was going to apologize to Shannon because Shannon never apologizes. Did I hear that correctly? Because what did Shannon do at the Quiet Woman that she should apologize for (other than throwing the plate, but wasn’t she led to that point by Kelly)?”
Shannon definitely took that restaurant confrontation to another level, but it wasn’t solely in response to Kelly. Shannon is also the one who started it. When Kelly innocently walked into the bathroom, Shannon was extremely rude to her and that is what instigated the hot mess chain of events. They were both wrong that night and apologies were owed all around.
Meghan wrote, “Things were still uncomfortable between Tamra, Shannon and Vicki, but at least things were progressing with Kelly. I understand why Tamra and Shannon are still hesitant and don’t want to make up with Vicki, but I wanted to try to move on with her, which is why I included her at the Sip-N-See. It’s hard for me to be peripheral friends with someone, and if I’m going to be cordial and move on with Vicki, then I thought maybe it would be a good idea to get some things off my chest with her.”
Meghan gest it: it is ridiculous to be on a reality TV show with people and refuse to interact with them. Sure, it’s tricky that this “job” and real life blur in a confusing way, but it is still a job at the end of the day and these women are coworkers.
In real life, I completely get why Tamra and Shannon would never want to talk to Vicki. She spread rumors about Tamra’s husband being in the closet and Shannon’s husband “beating the shit out of her.” Those are two completely valid reasons to ostracize Vicki… in real life. It just doesn’t work on a reality TV show. Tamra and Shannon ignoring Vicki’s existence doesn’t make any sense for RHOC. I’m not trying to watch two different shows with cameo appearances from the less relevant cast members on each, but this is essentially what we’ve been subjected to so far this season.
