Gizelle Bryant Refuses To Be Michael Darby’s Scapegoat; Says Charrisse Jackson-Jordan “Couldn’t Wait” To Bring Up Karen Huger’s Rumored Affair With Her Driver

The most shocking part of the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion was when Ashley Darby announced that she is living separately from her husband Michael Darby. It got even crazier when Michael actually blamed Gizelle Bryant, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, and Robyn Dixon for their marital issues.

Sure, the gossiping didn’t help, but there’s no way that three outsiders were actually responsible for the demise of Ashley and Michael’s relationship. So of course Gizelle is standing up for herself and throwing some serious shade- as per usual.

Gizelle discussed Part 2 of the RHOP reunion in her Bravo blog. Of course, she had to talk about Robyn and her ex/current/future man Juan Dixon. Gizelle stood by her fellow green eyed costar and said, “They are a great couple and I believe the romance is there just waiting to blossom. In the meantime, I will cross my fingers and mind my business.”

Then it got to the really interesting stuff: Gizelle was asked about Michael accusing her, Charrisse, and Robyn of being “a factor in their in their split.” Gizelle did not hold back. At. All. She said, “Just when I was starting to like Crocodile Dundee he goes and says something foolish to remind me that yep, he can go right back to Australia. I refuse to be his scape goat. Instead of blaming he might want to realize that he married a teenager and he’s a card carrying member of AARP.” Well, damn.

After throwing that shade, Gizelle said, “I had no idea that Ashley and Michael were separated and to be honest I was shocked. They seem to be extremely connected and happy. I know that no matter what happens with her marriage Ashley will land on her feet. I felt sad for her in that moment.”

After Gizelle brought up those rumors about Charrisse and that firefighter last year and Charrisse was so hurt by the ordeal, I figured Charrisse would never do the same thing to another woman. Clearly I was wrong since Charrisse put Karen Huger on blast for having an affair with her driver/body guard without providing any receipts. Gizelle wasn’t surprised though since she said, “Of course Charrisse brought up the driver. She couldn’t WAIT to bring him up. Is anybody talking about the fireman anymore?!?! I mean that was Trump style deflection.” My real question here isn’t even about the affair. I just want to know who Karen thinks she is that she needs a driver and/or bodyguard.

Big Brother 19 Eviction Predictions: Week 3- Will Anyone Be Evicted This Week?

On Sunday, we saw Alex Ow nominate Jessica Graf and Dominique Cooper. All week in the Big Brother 19 house, Dominique has been the target. The Big Brother 2017 houseguests wavered a bit about whether to strike at Jessica this Big Brother 19 week, or stay on the path to evict Dominique.

Alex and Raven Walton wanted Jessica out because they personally didn’t like or trust her. However, Paul Abrahamian, the leader of the Big Brother 19 cast, had a big vendetta against Dominique for (rightfully) calling him a snake in the game. Last night, there was some last minute late discussion about evicting Jessica. However, we expected Paul to switch the target back to Dominique, because she’s a bigger threat to his game.

The majority of the players in the Big Brother 19 house completely trust and respect Paul. They do whatever he says without much questioning and doubt. So things weren’t looking good for Dominique.

Nevertheless, as host Julie Chen would say, ‘expect the unexpected.’ This week’s Den of Temptation power, the Halting Hex, played a lot into what could happen on tonight’s eviction. If it was given out on Wednesday, that meant the Halting Hex applied to this week’s eviction, and could save Jessica and Dominique from eviction.

If the Halting Hex didn’t start until next week, Dominique or Jessica would leave the Big Brother 19 house on Thursday and face off against the round 2 Battle Back winner.

In the end, the Halting Hex came into play this week. So what could that mean for this week’s Big Brother 19 live eviction?

Yesterday Big Brother 19 Live Feeds concluded with no one revealing that they won the Halting Hex. However, Jessica and Dominique seemed the most likely winners, and demonstrated the most suspicious behavior of all the houseguests.

We believe that there will be no eviction this week. Dominique or Jessica will use the Halting Hex and halt the eviction in its entirety. What this means for the Battle Back winner? We will have to see on Friday.

Tune into Big Brother 19 at 9/8 CST to see if anyone gets evicted. Then join us tomorrow morning for a recap, and later that night the winner of Battle Back competition reveal.

Ryan Seacrest to Return as Host of 'American Idol' Reboot in 2018

Luann D’Agostino Denies Slapping Tom; Thinks Sonja Morgan Called Page Six

Once again, Luann D’Agostino made TV history by drunkenly falling into a bush during the Real Housewives of New York cast’s Mexican vacation. Although I loved that scene more than anything and even rewound it a couple of times, it wasn’t enough to make me forget about those reports that her marriage with Tom D’Agostino is “hanging by a thread” and that she slapped him in a restaurant.

This is especially true since Luann was Andy Cohen’s guest on Watch What Happens Live– so of course she had to discuss the latest Tom rumors.

Andy couldn’t help telling the former countess, “I’ve never, ever seen you so drunk.” Luann countered with, “I don’t drink margaritas. We were traveling all day. it was a really long trip and we drank as soon as we walked into the house.” Whatever. Nothing to apologize for Lu. I was loving every second of drunk Luann and she has nothing to be sorry about. Party on, girl.

Then, Andy got to the juicy stuff: the “alleged” slap. Luann said, “I did not slap him,” but she should have just stopped there because after that sentence her rebuttal got a little bit questionable. Luann added, “We have a very passionate love affair going. We never go to bed angry, but when we do, we wake up and make up.” After Andy called her out for the inconsistency of that statement, he asked about the slap yet again and she said, “No, no of course not.”

And once again, she should have just stopped there because her explanation of events isn’t the most flattering. Luann shared, “It’s ‘gossip,’ come on. I touched his face in a very loving way and people took it as a slap.” No idea why she would say that, but it’s definitely not going to clear up any rumors. Then again, there are always rumors about Luann and Tom so maybe she’s just used to it by now.

Andy asked if she had a fight with Tom in a restaurant and she admitted, “Absolutely, lovers’ quarrel.” So apparently there was at least some small granule of truth to that report about the restaurant slap. If only the Bravo cameras were present to capture this incident.

On a lighter note, a viewer asked Luann about getting upset in Vermont because she “deserved” the best room in the house because she “just got married.” Surprisingly enough, Luann took ownership of her behavior in that situation. Well, as much as Luann can anyway. She admitted, “Looking back, you always feel bad. You look like you’re spoiled. I had just gotten married and my room had no electricity. I was very happy because the house was beautiful. Looking back I go ‘Damn. I look like I was spoiled.'” If only Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan reached that level of clarity while watching these vacations episodes- the world would definitely be a better place- or at least the staff members at these resorts would have a much easier time.

On the After Show, a caller asks Luann who she thinks gave Page Six the story about Tinsley. She says undoubtedly that she thinks it was Sonja. “That had Sonja written all over it.”  Luann reiterates that she loves Sonja, but “Sonja loves to gossip.”

Vicki Gunvalson Is Done Talking About Brooks Ayers; Done Gossiping About Tamra Judge & Shannon Beador’s Husbands

The friendships on Real Housewives of Orange County are constantly shifting, so it’s a little bit surprising that Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador are still so against rekindling with Vicki Gunvalson. Then again, she did spread rumors that Tamra’s man Eddie Judge is secretly gay and David Beador beats Shannon, so it makes sense that they would want to keep their distance.

Then again, they are all contractually obligated to the same reality TV show and they have to be in the same room at some point so it’s an unrealistic notion and here we are: watching this mudslinging, shade throwing, and secret revealing drama.

Vicki had a lot to say about the second episode of the season in her Bravo blog. Of course she had to address her own daughter going to her frienemy’s granddaughter’s birthday party. She revealed, “I was proud of Briana [Culberson] for attending the party with the boys despite myself not being invited. I encouraged her to go and celebrate with the kids and just to keep it light hearted. Briana and I are at the point in our lives where we are DONE talking about my past relationship and the drama that terrible man caused in my life. Briana did the right thing by going to the party, which set an example by showing that she doesn’t want to have issues with Tamra or Sara, and this party was about Ava.” Briana definitely handled the situation well- like she does with everything else on this show, so it isn’t at all surprising. It’s kind of strange that she and Tamra didn’t even say “hello” though. Nevertheless, that’s a two-way street.

Thankfully Briana breezed in and out of that birthday party because the hot topic of conversation was her mother (yet again). This time it was Lydia McLaughlin who brought up Vicki which was just way out of bounds given the setting and the fact that she just met Shannon. Vicki said, “I was proud of Lydia for staying calm when it came to Shannon voicing her negative ‘opinion’ about me. First, let me set the record straight. I’m not obsessed with Shannon (or Tamra for that matter) and the problem is they think it’s ok to talk negatively about me, but no one can say anything negatively about them.” The only person that Vicki is obsessed with is Vicki and in all honesty it’s the other women who bring up Vicki whenever they can.

Vicki continued, “The reason why I told Lydia about the issues between Tamra and Shannon was because she asked me what happened, and I had to tell her. She was coming from a place of trying to resolve our issues, and in order to do that, she needed to know what the issues were.” This makes sense since Lydia obviously dropped all of the cast members as friends when she quit the show and she admitted that she never watched it so she need the facts if she was going to shit stir return this season.

Vicki took it upon herself to lay down the law. I have no idea who’s actually going to comply with this but after Vicki declared, “Here are some things I think you should know,” she asserted, “I don’t want to continue bringing up my past relationship anymore.” That is never going to happen. Brooks Ayers faking cancer documents was arguably the biggest scandal in Real Housewives history and it’s going to take a lot for Vicki to break away from the stigma.

Vicki refused to refer to Brooks by name: “It’s been over for two years since we broke up and the other girls will ever know what I went through by being with ‘him.’ I have a lot of questions myself, but unfortunately, I will never know why he did what he did what he did to ME. It’s done, and it’s in the past and it makes me sick to my stomach to continue to rehash it. Looking back, I can see more clearly all the red flags that I didn’t see because I was too close to it. Lesson learned.” Yeah that’s the beauty of watching your life back on reality TV- then again it’s really double edged sword because so many people hold Vicki accountable for this whole mess.

Vicki addressed the allegations she made about David and Eddie. She said, “Regarding David and Eddie, I had no intentions of having this information revealed or I would have said it publicly or when cameras were up.” Or maybe you just shouldn’t have said those things AT  ALL….

Still, Vicki defended herself : What I did say to Kelly [Dodd] PRIVATELY over a year ago (when neither one of them were speaking to me) is, ‘there are rumors out there about Eddie and why doesn’t Tamra ever address them… and why is it okay for her to talk badly about me but she doesn’t want anyone talking about her marriage or her relationship with her daughter?’ That’s some questionable reasoning there….

Vicki insists, “My conversation with Kelly was at a time when I was continually being attacked by Tamra and Shannon, and their constant mission to tell LIES about me to get attention for themselves.” How mature of her… She alleged, “Kelly had already heard the ‘rumors’ about Eddie so it wasn’t something that was new to her.” Surprisingly enough, Vicki said, “Hindsight, I shouldn’t have said anything to Kelly and for that I’m sorry. I never meant to hurt Eddie or Tamra.” What was she expecting to happen after she said all those things?

Vicki wrote, “I should have not talked to Kelly about their marriage and let her see for herself the issues there. I apologized to Shannon last year, and the reason why it keeps being brought up is because SHE won’t let go of it. I expected her to let it die down, so the attention was off of that subject but unfortunately, Shannon cannot move past it and therefore it’s not going away.” Shannon is the queen of holding grudges, but I feel like most people wouldn’t be able to simply “let go” when it comes to stories about domestic violence.

The Real Housewives Of New York Recap: Three Tequila…Floor!

Oh. My. God. Mexico had no idea what was coming! Because when The Real Housewives Of New York decide to invade your country in the name of booze research, you need to erect a wall around them. Last night, Bethenny Frankel’s tequila-inspired adventure sailed right into crazyville, where Ramona Singer (whose face suddenly resembles a grated radish) took room-grabbing to new levels, Luann D’Agostino [de Lesseps] tumbled drunkenly into bushes and concrete patios, and Tinsley Mortimer accused her benefactress of being a traitor.

We begin with the group arriving in Mexico, where Bethenny already has the sh*ts – or the flu – or spontaneous diarrhea in response to staring at what little skin remains on Ramona’s face (courtesy of a chemical peel). Carole Radziwill is looking forward to Taco Bell and to congratulating herself on her matchmaking skills with Tinsley and Scott. They are an official item! The ladies play “marry, f–k, kill” in the car on the way to their rental, then take a gander at a stray d*ck pic Sonja Morgan received on her phone from a wrong number. If anything, this is an omen of things to come.

The Mexico house is gorgeous and, more importantly, up to Ramona’s standards. Not up to her standards? Her assigned room, of course. So Ramona immediately ropes Sonja into finding the best room available. They’re perpetually living in a 1980s L’oreal commercial, endlessly repeating to one another BECAUSE YOU’RE WORTH IT! to justify their increasingly insane demands. Bethenny scolds Ramona on playing “the room game,” noting she’s sick of her being a “miserable, nasty tw*t” on every trip. To shut this fiasco down, she finally forces the women to choose numbers from a hat to determine rooms.

Tinsley wins the best digs, leaving Ramona to sleep in the shed out back with the barn animals where she belongs. But then Tinsley graciously hands her #1 room over to Bethenny, kowtowing to the very woman who screamed “GROW UP!” at her last week. Oh, Tins. Go drink a few Tito’s and rethink your priorities, girl!

But #RoomGate has just begun. Ramona and Sonja think Tinsley is a turncoat for giving her room up to Bethenny – not to THEM! I mean, Tinsley has benefited from everything that Sonja’s dusty stuffed animals and un-flushed toilets have had to offer these past many months. And now she dares not to repay her in kind? Harrumph! When the stink is raised, Carole reminds these two broads that every room in this house is gorgeous – so just STFU already! But STFU they will never do – not until they have won the prize, even if Sonja has to pull out stories of her mother cracking her hip on staircases to justify her need for a first floor room (WHAT the actual HELL, Sonja?!?!).

Dorinda Medley finally resurrects Bethenny from her pre-vomit nap to call off the dogs. Wandering in to Dorinda’s (possibly temporary) room, Bethenny reminds these grown women of what six-year olds already know: “You get what you get, and you don’t get upset!” Even though Sonja admits that her own daughter would never act like half the obnoxious a$$ she does, she doesn’t give a rip! Ramona, Ramona’s partial face, and Sonja are not leaving without a fight. Ready to give up her room (again) to these maniacs, Dorinda nearly makes a break for it – but Bethenny is not having it. She’s about to go all Braveheart on these b*tches, practically shouting FREEEEEDOM! as she demands they calm the eff down and march their backsides to their assigned quarters.

But Ramona, now a$$ firmly planted on Dorinda’s bed, refuses to leave – even when Dorinda threatens to take her sh*t and throw it in the pool! Finally, tweedle-dumb and tweedle-facial-tics wander up to their assigned room. They’ll just have to take out their residual anger on the hapless house staff, who Ramona immediately starts ordering to plug in her electronics, unpack her curling irons, and make Earl Grey tea on the Queen’s schedule, por favor! The staff comply, silently communicating to one another about who shall be the first one to spit in Ramona’s pinot tonight.

Downstairs, Bethenny takes to her bed while Dorinda forces Carole to learn the balloon game. Then the group gathers by the pool (sans Ramona, Sonja, and Bethenny) to regroup after having to take up arms against the gale-force windbags that obnoxiously blew threw the house. Dorinda hasn’t had her nap, so she’s thinking about skipping dinner. And I have to say, I feel ya, Do! Luann is not about to leave any marines behind, though, attempting to force Dorinda into action.

For her part, Tinsley is just scared poop-less about Sonja being mad at her. Bethenny joins the group to remind Tins that Sonja is not the boss of her – SHE is! Juuuuust kidding. But she does think Sonja is better off when she’s not with Ramona. It’s like a$$hole squared when the two of them get together. None the wiser, Ramona and Sonja laze by the beach in their chairs, kissing and complimenting each other on their awesomeness.

At dinner later, Bethenny is an hour and a half late for dinner…and is still the first to arrive. Upstairs, Tinsley shares an upcoming Page Six story (that she gets a tip on from a friend) with Carole, which is not too complimentary of Tinsley’s lackluster houseguest manners. Why this is a story is worth printing is beside the point; Tinsley thinks Ramona planted it. She can’t imagine that Sonja, who is her “friend,” would ever do such a thing. Carole thinks she might be right, but when Bethenny gets wind of it, she immediately points the finger at Sonja.

Proving all of their points, Sonja and Ramona are currently in their bathroom b*tching endlessly about Tinsley whilst they affix nipple covers to one another’s racks. Dorinda doesn’t show at dinner, and but super-drunk Luann has arrived to take Gangsta Do’s place! YESSSSS! When the group hears that Ramona is STILL upstairs doing her makeup, they wonder how, exactly, one applies foundation to raw hamburger? It’s troubling.

After Ramona and Sonja finally join the dinner party, Luann offers a toast of thanks to Bethenny for organizing the trip. Ramona butts in that “it’s a GROUP trip!” to which Bethenny retorts, “Why are you an a$$hole?!?!” Alas, Ramona doesn’t consider herself an a$$hole. She’s more of a truth-teller, in her mind, and just says “what everyone else is thinking.” Except when everyone else is thinking, “Ramona is an a$$hole,” I guess.

No longer able to stay silent, Tinsley puts Ramona and Sonja on blast about the Page Six article. Ramona claims she avoids the press, and Sonja also defends that she’s innocent. But who cares? thinks Sonja. Tinsley’s been trying to get back into the press for ages, and now she is! Sonja would rather watch Luann’s eyes try to drunkenly track the conversation anyway, because, well – it’s delightful! It’s not every day she gets to see her Snatch Guard tie one on.

It’s also not every day that Tinsley gets to tell someone “Shut the f–k up!” – but she does just that to Ramona, who seems flustered for half a second by the fact that she’s just been yelled at by the Housewife equivalent of Bambi. “I’M A LOVELY HOUSEGUEST!” screams Tinsley, hopping up and down, hands flailing. Bethenny still thinks Sonja is Deep Throat. She loves the press, and loves to look good in it, so she probably leaked the story. But Sonja won’t confess, even if it is true – and even if Tinsley cries the very last of her tears into her cocktail over it, then storms off.

Bethenny also thinks Sonja needs to get a Ramona-ectomy STAT, cutting that spastic tumor out once and for all. But Sonja will always stand by Ramona, which is sad considering how readily Ramona throws Sonja under the bus (remember last year?). Nothing she says will tear Sonja away from her co-conspirator – not even calling the pair of them “mean old ladies!”

After wandering outside with drunk Lu (who I am quickly falling in deep, abiding love with – #DrunkLu4Eva!!!), Ramona tries to string words together about friendship and loyalty and blah blah blah. Luann drawls that she “loooooooves” Sonja! Just like she loves Tom! And Palm Beach! And dancing, mid-conversation! Which she does, promptly falling into the bushes as a result. LOL! Please, Wasted Luann, I beg you: Never, ever leave us. <red heart emoji>

But wait – Wasted Luann is NOT leaving us yet! Since Ramona has the emotional intelligence of a rubber boot, she decides to keep talking about her life’s woes while walking around the patio with Luann (or rather, propping her up). Until Luann loses her grip and her footing – but never her dignity! – falling a$$ over teakettle down to the sunken patio below. Not skipping a beat to register normal human empathy (Such as: Are you okay? Can I help you?), Ramona just obnoxiously chides, “You should have gone THIS way!” before slowly walking around to lift Luann off of the literal curb. Ramona = beyond comprehension. She’s either taken a master’s class on how to act like a bizarre lunatic at ALL times, or it comes naturally.

And that brings us to the end of this wild ride. Can we just pause here a moment to reflect on how deliciously marvelous this episode is – and just how damn good RHONY has gotten these past few weeks? Is it just me out here clapping and cheering? I feel like the gang is back! Not to say we approve of all of these ladies’ behavior – no, no, no. But they came to PLAY. And I can’t help but love them for it.

*Writer’s Note: We had a tornado touch down in the middle of this episode and I lost my TV signal more than once. If a little (or a lot) is left out of this recap – my sincere apologies! I trust you’ll fill in the blanks in the comments section.  

*Editor’s Note: Erin wins the recapper dedication award. She not only lost her signal, but part of her roof, gutters, and deck! And still carried on and recapped this hot mess of a show. We’re so glad you’re safe and sound, Erin!

Big Brother 19 Spoilers: Live Feeds Day 19 Highlights: Den of Temptation Unleashes Fear and Fibs

All week, Big Brother 19 fans have speculated when the last Den of Temptation would be awarded to the winner. Some thought that it would occur today, after the latest Big Brother 19 live eviction. Others speculated that it would happen on Wednesday, right after the Halting Hex voting ended. We now know that it occurred yesterday in the Big Brother 2017 house.

We just don’t know who won it. Going into tonight’s Big Brother 19 live eviction, we may end it with no eviction at all.

Who Got the Halting Hex?

When Big Brother 19 Live Feeds returned, Raven Walton, Jason Dent, Alex Ow, and a few others were quick to confirm that they did not have the latest Den of Temptation. However, Jessica Graf seemed very chipper. She then started to ask a lot of questions about double eviction, Cody Nickson’s possible return, and voting for this Big Brother 2017 week.

Next, Dominique Cooper was very quiet, but then had a private conversation with herself where she talked about her nomination plans. Dominique mentioned putting Paul Abrahamian and Mark Jansen on the block for eviction.

The Big Brother 19 houseguests who clearly didn’t have the Halting Hex were freaking out. They really wanted to know who had it. They tried to get info out of Jessica and Dominique but got nothing.

These Little Talks

Dominique told Paul that she felt the Big Brother 2017 houseguests isolated her. He claimed that she isolated herself. The whole conversation was set up for Paul to try to get some entail against Dominique. She also mentioned how people were scared of her. When he got no info from her, he went on another one of his infamous anti-Dominique rants. Paul encouraged all the houseguests to wear snake related stuff at Dominique’s possible eviction.

Meanwhile, Alex, Jason and Jessica had a talk in the Head of Household room. They talked a lot about the possibility of Cody’s return. Alex was supposed to be fishing for information on Jessica having the Den of Temptation, but got nothing. Alex seemed very frustrated about the possibility of Jessica having a power. She went on her own rant about hating Jessica and wanting her out the Big Brother game.

Shannon Beador Calls Lydia McLaughlin A “Pot Stirrer”

When Tamra Judge is the person in a scene with the most social tact, you know there is something going terribly awry. I’m looking at you Lydia McLaughlin and Shannon Beador, for the pot stirring and screaming, respectively. As per usual the topic at hand was Vicki Gunvalson and unfortunately it all went down at a toddler’s birthday party.

It’s completely understandable why Shannon would hate Vicki. There’s the whole fake cancer thing. In the midst of that, Vicki talked about Shannon’s husband’s affair before anyone else on the show knew about it. And then Vicki accused David Beador of abusing Shannon. So obviously Shannon doesn’t want to be friends with Vicki, but she has to interact with her and talk about her since they’re both on the same show.

As expected, Shannon defended herself in her Bravo blog post. She recalled, “Within the first 30 seconds of meeting Lydia, she felt compelled to bring up the fact that she spent time with Vicki. I found that odd and still do.” As would any normal person, but Lydia is really trying to earn her keep this time around and she’s doing the most to have a story line.

Shannon continued, “Lydia was completely aware that there is a not-so-pleasant history between Vicki and I, yet Lydia chose to bring ‘the update that Vicki gave her’ right up when meeting me for the first time. I think that was quite inappropriate and rude.” It definitely was, but Shannon took the confrontation to a whole other level with her reaction.

Shannon explained, “As Tamra and I sat down to have a conversation with Lydia, she brought Vicki up again. Tamra said that we didn’t want to discuss Vicki based on our histories with her, yet Lydia would not stop. I did not yell at Lydia. I spoke firmly, directly and passionately. I do regret that I pointed my finger, but I was definitely not screaming as Lydia alleged.” Did we not watch the same episode, Shannon? Nevertheless, I completely understand why Shannon flipped the f*** out, but she can’t go around denying that she did so.

Shannon called out the self-proclaimed “Friendship Whisperer”: “In her interview, Lydia said I took ‘crazy pills’ and was an ‘evil witch,’ all within ten minutes of meeting me??? Wow. Those are pretty cruel things to say. You didn’t hear me making any derogatory comments about Lydia. Especially when she just wouldn’t stop talking about a person Tamra and I had no desire to talk about.” Lydia really loves to play the innocent role- is she actually trying to help though? I guess we will see as the episodes go on, but at this moment Lydia seems like a massive shit stirrer and Shannon needs to take a breath and count to ten… or twenty.. or one hundred. Just something to calm down a teeny bit.

Shannon wrote, “And then to hear Lydia’s mother labelled me a ‘lost soul’ after our 3 minute conversation??? I get to know people before I start to judge them.”

She concluded, “Never did I expect to be pushed and prodded at a 2 year old’s birthday party. It looks like Lydia might be a pot stirrer. Tune in next week for more evidence of that.” Yep: Lydia being a pot stirrer and Shannon screaming at Kelly Dodd in a restaurant. It looks like must-see TV to me.

Big Brother 19 Recap: Nominees Finalized for Tonight’s Eviction (7/19/17)

Alex Ow is the Head of Household during the third week inside the Big Brother 19 house.  Her nominations to the block for eviction this week are Dominque Cooper and Jessica Graf.  Jessica is basically collateral damage due to her association and showmance with Cody Nickson, who was evicted last week.  Dominique is the primary target for eviction from the Big Brother 19 house, mostly due to Cody throwing her under the bus on his way out the door.

Can Dominique win the Big Brother 19 Power of Veto and take herself off the block, or can she rely on another houseguest to use the POV to save her game?

Now that Dominque knows that her own group betrayed her, she is out to identify who is pulling the strings and orchestrated her nomination.  She suspects Paul Abrahamian is the guilty party: Dominique believes that he is the “snake” within the Big Brother house.  When Dominique confronts him, Paul denies any betrayal.

She doesn’t believe what he tries to sell her, and she knows that she needs some help to stay in the Big Brother 19 house.  Dom’s closest ally in the house, Mark Jansen, vows to do anything that he can to save her from eviction this week…but will it be enough?

Paul has made sure to share his two cents with Alex about the upcoming eviction and  nominees.  He wants Jessica pulled off the block and replaced with Mark.  His belief is that this plan would increase their chances of Dominique going home on Thursday.  Mark is brought into the Big Brother HOH room, and then presented with the possibility of being a pawn for Alex.

Mark is very uncomfortable with being a pawn; he says that he will not campaign for or against Dominique if put into this position.  As his best friend in the game, Mark is very emotional about her situation and possible eviction from the Big Brother 19 house.

At the POV selection ceremony, three additional houseguests are selected to compete in this week’s POV competition.  By default, Alex, Dominque, and Jessica are automatically competing.  By random selection, Jason Dent, Kevin Schlehuber, and Christmas Abbott will also be competing for the golden POV.  Unfortunately, Christmas was not medically cleared to participate and must sit this one out, much to her dismay.

The POV ceremony, the Temple of Temptation, requires that the houseguests traverse a suspended beam over a harrowing lava pit.  Once across, they must touch the Sacred Squirrel statue and then return back across the lava pit.  The first houseguest to complete 50 consecutive trips across the pit, without falling, will be blessed with the golden POV.  If any houseguest decides to take the temptation of the Chalice of Cha-Ching, they will receive a cash prize but will be immediately eliminated from the Big Brother competition.

Kevin doesn’t make many attempts to cross the lava pit before deciding to take the temptation.  Kevin’s cash prize is revealed to be a whopping $27, bringing his total cash winnings this season, so far, to $25,027.  In the end, Jason wins the POV by just one point over Alex.  Jessica and Dominique really didn’t have a fighting chance of winning this competition after several falls into the lava pit, which reset their scores to zero.

Now that Jason has the POV, Alex and him need to decide the best plan of attack for this week’s eviction goals. Jason has expressed to Alex that he would prefer to pull Jessica off the block and replace her with Raven Walton.  His rationale of this move is to ensure that Dominique goes home, because no one would vote to evict Raven from the Big Brother house.  Alex doesn’t see the point nor does she agree with Jason’s philosophy with this move.

Dominique takes one last shot at saving her game.  First she approaches Jason.  She explains to him that there is a “snake” amongst them, and the “snake” is the one that is responsible for her group’s betraying her.  She refused to name the snake, but advised Jason to keep his friends close and his enemies closer.  Next, Dominique flat out tells Alex that Paul is the snake.  This seemed to be done in complete desperation on Dominique’s part. Of course, Alex immediately goes to Paul with the information, which results in Paul wearing a hilarious snake-printed dress at the Big Brother POV ceremony.

At the POV ceremony, Dominique calls Paul out as the snake amongst her group.  This was her last ditch effort to save herself.  Jason decides NOT to use the golden POV.  Jessica and Dominque remain on the block for eviction tonight.

As long as nothing catastrophic occurs inside the Big Brother house, it appears Dominique will be the next houseguest to meet Julie Chen.  Tune in tonight for the Big Brother week three eviction.
