LeeAnne Locken Thought Stephanie Hollman Was “Sweet And Innocent;” Now She Views Her As “Blatanly Cruel”

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.

Big Brother 19 Eviction Predictions: Week 7- Who Will Go Home in the Double Eviction?

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.

Meghan Edmonds Is Trying To Move On With Vicki Gunvalson; Thinks Peggy Sulahian Was Rude On The Phone

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.

Stephanie Hollman Explains The Blog Post That Instigated The Feud Between Her And Brandi Redmond

It was shocking to see that Stephanie Hollman and Brandi Redmond were not on speaking terms when Real Housewives of Dallas returned for Season 2. These two were legitimately best friends outside of the show and were attached at the hip, so to see them not talking at all and not even arguing with each other was quite the surprise.

Brandi was upset over one of Stephanie‘s blogs, in which she talked about her marriage. Brandi refused to speak with Stephanie for months even though they both admit that Stephanie reached out to her constantly.

Stephanie took to her Bravo blog, yet again, to clarify what she meant in her now-infamous blog post.

She admitted, “As you can image [imagine], this was a really tough episode for me to watch! When I signed up to do this show with my best friend, never in a million years did I think that I would be at odds with her. I suppose I was a little more naive than I am now, but I truly started on this journey with the intent of creating lifelong memories with my best friend and our families.”

Oh Stephanie. As nice as that sounds, that’s just not how these Real Housewives shows work.

Stephanie stated, “I would first like to make a correction on a remark that Brandi made tonight regarding a blog post that I had written Season 1. In tonight’s episode, Brandi explained that she was mad at me for writing that her marriage was like watching a slow moving car crash. I have read my blog post many, many times over and that is simply not what I said, nor was it what I meant.”

She continued, “In my blog post titled ‘My Heart Broke for Brandi’ I said, ‘I felt uncomfortable and awkward. I wanted the experience to be an amazing family memory for Brandi. I could tell that Brandi was hurting and felt awkward in the situation. It was like watching a slow motion car crash and there was nothing I could do to fix it.’ In that scene, I was terribly embarrassed because my husband played a part in ruining that moment for her. Travis [Hollman] and Bryan [Redmond] showed up late and drunk, and that quite frankly broke my heart for her.”

Interestingly enough, Brandi has turned to her Season 1 nemesis LeeAnne Locken for comfort, and Stephanie is super close with Cary Deuber, who has tried to stay neutral in the feud.

Stephanie recalled, “Cary reached out to me and provided me with something I felt I was lacking at the moment – friendship. Cary, I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate all of the bottles of wine we shared, the sweet flower arrangements you made and the laughter you brought back to my life! You exemplified what a true, genuine, kind-hearted friend should do in this situation by staying neutral and encouraging me to continue my efforts to reconcile with Brandi.”

Unlike LeeAnne who was very against Stephanie during the first episode of Season 2.

Stephanie wrote, “Brandi, I am sorry! I’m sure there is more that I could have done and words that I could have used differently, but I honestly did not know what I had done wrong.”

She also talked about the party where they saw each other for the first time in months: “All I wanted in that moment was an answer! I was a girl in a crowded room, but the only person I wanted to talk to was you. I didn’t want to cause a scene or bring anyone else into our situation that had no business being involved; all I wanted was a conversation with my sister that I could see hurting! We have a friendship dating back more than ten years, and I am thankful that most of the other ladies respected and honored that.” Obviously that “most of the ladies” part was a dig at LeeAnne.

Stephanie added, “It was not a conversation for the group; it was a conversation for us. Nothing at that moment was more important to me than our friendship!”

Big Brother 19 Spoilers: Live Feeds Day 47 Highlights: The Calm Before the Double Eviction Storm

It was a rather quiet evening leading up to the storm that will be the Big Brother 19 double eviction tonight. Cody Nickson has accepted the end of his Big Brother game. Alex Ow, Paul Abrahamian, and Jason Dent know that going into the next eviction, they’re pretty safe. Mark Jansen and Elena Davies continue to defy Paul by not totally isolating Cody, and Kevin Schlehuber still has no clue how close his game is to ending.

Despite the rather dull feeds, it’s a nice change from all the Big Brother 19 arguments going on this week and for the past several weeks.

Target Misdirections

Jason and Alex talked about their next targets. They mentioned going after Matt Clines and Mark next. Alex, following Paul’s logic, said that it was not the right move to nominate Matt. They don’t want to piss off another showmance if they don’t need to do it. Then Jason went into his daily rant about hating Raven Walton and Matt.

Meanwhile, Paul was trying to ensure that Matt went after Mark or Kevin if he won the Head of Household. Paul made sure to reiterate that Kevin has been acting shady. He told Mark as well that Cody has been protecting Kevin.

Paul is doing a good job of setting up targets at everyone but himself.

Double Eviction Prepping

The Big Brother houseguests got a shuffleboard to practice for either the Double Eviction HOH or veto competition. Most likely, it’ll be the Veto one, since many Big Brother Double Eviction Head of Household competitions tend to be trivia based.

Cody told Elena and Mark that he would help them a little during his eviction speech by surprising everyone with it. He would try to put the target on Jason and Alex.

Note: The Big Brother 19 feeds will be down from Thursday afternoon to Friday at midnight (eastern time). Therefore, we will not have any Live Feeds updates for Friday morning, unless something really exciting happens before the feeds go down. The daily updates will resume on Saturday.

Real Housewives Of New York Reunion Recap: Part One

It’s time for the Real Housewives Of New York ladies to sit down and throw down for three straight weeks, and part one of the reunion started off with a bang – and a spooky disclaimer. As expected, Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer faced off, and Luann de Lesseps was forced to answer question after brutal question regarding her marriage to Tom D’Agostino, which was likely on its last leg at time of filming. The setting was very Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil, and the fashions – well, they ranged from Tinsley Mortimer’s Shirley Temple ruffles to Dorinda Medley’s chic, bejeweled butterflies. Sonja Morgan decided to unleash her girls for battle, and Ramona – well. I’m not sure how to put this. Let’s just say, Mariah Carey’s stylist must be moonlighting for RHONY.

Andy Cohen opens the reunion after we are warned by Bravo that “what you are about to watch was recorded three weeks before Luann filed for divorce from her husband of seven months, Tom.” And now I feel like the Blair Witch is beginning. That was INTENSE. (Should we be scared? I’m gonna go with: Yes.) To add to the Gothic effect, Luann is wearing her wedding (reception) dress. This makes me shudder-cringe for poor Lu.

Opening remarks include Tinsley chirping about how happy she is with Scott, Carole Radziwill updating us on her training for the NYC marathon, and Sonja claiming she may be selling her townhouse along with 17 bottles of complementary Wesson oil. Ramona updates us on her status with that dude from Love Connection, which is DOA. But she does have a new mystery man in her life.

Since she’s already on a roll, Ramona takes the hot seat first. We see a montage of her aggressive friskiness, horrific treatment of hotel staff, along with everyone’s commentary about Ramona going off the rails since her divorce from Mario. Asked what she thinks of her overall “look” this season, Ramona admits, “I had a bad year.” She owns her behavior – the crude, the crazy, and the facial peels. All of it. She also owns (some of) the procedures she’s had done to maintain her appearance over the past decades, including eyelid lifts, lasers, and breast augmentation. And hey – even the ladies have to hand it to Ramona, she does look fab at 60. (Agreed! Now, about that dress though…)

But does Ramona own her behavior at the Berkshires? Not the part about laying into Bethenny, but rather the trashing of Dorinda’s home? Ramona scoots sideways into an apology, telling Dorinda she’s truly sorry. But it wasn’t vandalism! She asks Dorinda if that’s how she saw it? Dorinda’s like, um, that’s how is WAS. Thus, Ramona still doesn’t get it and should hereby be relegated to sleeping on the porch on future trips. Dorinda just wants Ramona to admit when she’s wrong, and in a brief brush with sanity, Ramona agrees.

Bethenny then jumps all over Ramona’s small moment of introspection to attack her about acting badly towards her assistants earlier that day. She thinks Ramona has no human decency, treats staff poorly, and feels she’s above everyone. Ramona defends that she goes “into a zone” with people sometimes and pins her bad behavior on growing up abused. Bethenny balks, “You’re SIXTY years old!” Then, when Ramona doesn’t bow down, she goes for the jugular, screaming about Ramona’s “t*ts hanging out, hair down to here, chicken in your purse, complaining it’s too cold in here…you’re a horror show!” Ramona just answers flatly, “Well, I am what I am.” Also – chicken in her purse? I need this to be true.

Okay, a brief pause to process this moment. I’m often torn with Bethenny (who I can go hot and cold on, depending on the season – or even the moment). And here’s why: Everything she hates about Ramona seems reflected in what she hates about herself, but would never admit. When Ramona calls Bethenny out on her behavior, it’s never effective because Ramona can’t sharpen her verbal barbs to the deadly point Bethenny can. And Ramona is a sh*t show herself most of the time, so she can also never get out of her own way. But when Bethenny goes in on Ramona (or Luann, last year), it’s a scorched earth, game-of-freaking-thrones battle to the death. And she loses her humanity in the process. Both women seem keenly aware of each other’s faults, but are also mirrors of them. However, instead of bonding over their shared neuroses (like batty a$$ Ramona and Sonja), they can’t get past their anger. It’s frustrating.

Within seconds of railing against Ramona, Bethenny is taken off guard by a question about Jill Zarin (whose ghost haunts the reunion despite her absence for eons!). She doesn’t want to answer whether she and Jill will be friends again. And she tells Andy in no uncertain terms that she doesn’t want to ever, ever, ever hear this question again or she will refuse to sign his paycheck.

But back to Ramona – has she grieved her divorce? Is she acting out because it’s just now hitting her? Ramona says it’s a loss, and she is disappointed in her “fairy tale” coming to an end. She thought she could control the situation with Mario, and she didn’t want the marriage to fail, but it did. Plus, turning sixty threw her for a loop. Bethenny wonders if fear is underlying her behavior lately? Ramona says maybe. She doesn’t know who she is these days, admitting she wouldn’t even want to be friends with the person she saw on the show. But Ramona is proud of her daughter, happy in her current relationship, and hopeful about the future. Good for her! Ramona gets gold stars all around for bringing some vulnerability to these couches.

Moving on to Dorinda, who gets gold stars for just being awesomely insane this year, Andy asks why she went so hard for Sonja, beginning in the Hamptons with “put an E-Z pass on that vagina!” and ending with CLIP! CLIIIIP! in the Bronx. Dorinda says the Clip just came upon her, as it were, as a means by which to stop Sonja’s “verbal waterboarding” about Tipsy Girl accusations. And she doesn’t regret going off on Sonja in the Hamptons either, considering all of the shady press Sonja was doing on Dorinda. Shady press that, by the way, Sonja still denies. Nobody believes her, of course.

But the women are both pretty much over it now, which is a great object lesson to Housewives everywhere: Slur at each other in public, let subtitles do the ‘splainin for you, then keep it moving. Also, compile secret files on people just in case. #CLIIIIIIPPPPPP

Then, to put the “sober Sonja” fiction to rest, the ladies ALL call her out on drinking the entire damn season – out of sippy sups in Vermont, no less! Tinsley corroborates these claims, but says Sonja never got messy-drunk at home. Okay, then.

A viewer asks about Sonja’s pajama-stealing behavior next, which she sees nothing wrong with! The jammies were in the drawer and not recently licked by dogs, so – what’s the prob? Dorinda has no chance of explaining a problem like Sonja TO Sonja, so she finally accepts Sonja’s profuse, dramatic apology, reminding her to use John’s dry cleaning services next time before she returns intimate wear.

Now, we must venture into the most cringe worthy territory yet: Luann’s marriage. Oh boy. Luann says married life is “fantastic!” and Tom is a “great guy!” She loves being Mrs. D’Agostino and has no regrets about trading her Countess title for Wife. Agggh! This is more painful than I even imagined.

After a montage highlighting all of the women’s questions about Tom’s dishonesty, shady behavior, and disparaging comments about being married, Luann defends her husband. In her wedding dress. She says she was thrilled to get married again and wanted to celebrate it big. In a mildly shocking twist, Luann says she indeed DID initially send Sonja a save-the-date card, insinuating she would be invited to the wedding. So, Sonja’s not 100% crazy! She’s hanging out right around the 90th percentile. Luann ultimately disinvited Sonja after she talked sh*t about Tom in the press, however.

Andy asks about that random party guest, Barbara, who claimed Luann would get married for public purposes, then quickly divorced. Prophet that Barbara now is, she is still seen as a hateful b*tch by Luann (and she might well be, too). Ramona reminds Luann that they were all just concerned about her, even though it came across as aggressive interfering.

Concerns are quickly tossed aside for intel, though, when Ramona spills what she says she knew last year about Tom. Here it is: He kissed a girl at the Regency, did it again (with the same woman) in LA, laughed about it and said Luann “deserved it” because he was pissed at her. Then he met a woman from Philadelphia at the Regency and invited her up to his hotel room claiming he had “an open relationship.” But nothing (allegedly) happened. Did we get all of that? Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. And OUCH. Oh, Luann. Good riddance to bad rubbish if even ONE TENTH of this sh*t is true (and in my opinion, it’s probably the tip of the iceberg).

Luann sits in silence for a beat after this info is spilled, then says she doesn’t think it’s true. Andy twists the knife deeper, asking if any of the women have heard things since Lu and Tom’s wedding. The look on everyone’s faces is much like the look a class of first graders gives the teacher when she asks who peed on the wall during snack time. Bethenny finally says yes, they’ve all heard rumors, but are numb to them now. Luann is married, so they’re just letting her figure her life out on her own. Plus, she told Bethenny straight up that even if Beth did know something about Tom cheating, she wouldn’t even want to know. Luann conveniently forgets this statement, but the cameras do not.

Admitting that Tom’s behavior on camera, the ladies’ constant comments, and the ever-building rumor pile have all taken a toll on her marriage, Luann says she does have insecurities. She does not have an “arrangement,” as some might think – she has a marriage. And she wants fidelity and honesty in it. She even says that if she were to find out Tom is a cheater, she’d leave. But when Bethenny says to Luann that she would be sobbing over just one of the many snarky comments Tom made about being married this year – not to mention his off-mic moment with Missy at Sonja’s party – Luann confesses, “Well, why do you think I slept in a hotel last night?” Shocked, the group takes this information in, having no idea (or maybe they do?) that Luann will be filing for divorce three weeks from this very moment.

We’ll have to wait until next week to see how this awkwardness segues into, well…more awkwardness. For now, let’s hope Luann is not watching this horror movie unfold and is instead skiing on the Swiss Alps, screaming “Once a Countess, ALWAYS a Countess!!!!!” at all of the Toms of this world. She deserves it.

TELL US: WAS WATCHING LUANN DEFEND TOM AS BRUTAL FOR YOU AS IT WAS FOR ME? ARE BETHENNY AND RAMONA EVER GOING TO SEE EYE TO EYE?

Brother 19-8/16/2017-Recap: Will Elena’s Greed Buy Her Eviction? 8/17/17

The stage was set for Head of Household Alex Ow finally to evict Cody Nickson from the Big Brother 19 house. However, during this week’s Big Brother 19 Power of Veto competition, Elena Davies decided to swap $5,000 from Alex so that she could avoid the Camp Guide punishment. Alex had every right to be upset with Elena for taking her $5,000, because just a few minutes before Elena made the ridiculously selfish move, she and Alex made a deal not to curse each other with punishments.

During the selection ceremony for the Big Brother POV, Alex randomly picked Mark Jansen to compete in it. On the next draw, Alex picked her own name, which granted her the ability to pick any houseguest to compete, and she chose Paul Abrahamian. That rounded out the POV competitors, including the nominees Jason Dent, Matt Clines.

Will Elena’s greedy move cause her to be evicted tonight rather than Cody?

Cody’s name was not selected to compete in the Power of Veto competition, thus eliminating him avoiding a back door nomination.  Now the house majority can breath a sigh of relief.  The only way the plan to back door Cody can fail is if a houseguest uses the POV to take Matt off the block. As a special third nominee, Matt would not be replaced if he were to be take himself off the block.

This week’s POV competition is the Big Brother Adventure Tour with a safari theme, and it includes prizes and punishments. Those prizes and punishments can be swapped by the competitors as each player is eliminated from the game. Players will launch a large dart at the Big Brother Adventures Tours map. The adventure their dart lands on will have fun points associated with it, which will be used to calculate each player’s score for that round. The player with the lowest number of fun points during each round will be eliminated.

As each player is eliminated from the game, they will open their adventure helmet to claim their prize; however, players have the option to keep their helmet or trade another player for their helmet and prize. The last player to collect their helmet can keep their prize or choose a prize from any player including the golden POV holder. The player winning the POV will also be entitled to a private Big Brother Outback Steakhouse dinner with five of his closest houseguest friends.

At the end of round one, Paul had the lowest fun points and won the POV. Next, Mark won a vacation to Colorado and decided to keep his prize. Jason traded his tandem skydive punishment with Paul for the POV. Matt won an Xtreme-a-Tard punishment and traded with Jason for the POV.

Only Alex and Elena are left in the game and agree to forego cursing one another with a punishment. Elena didn’t live up to her end of the deal. Elena decided to take Alex’s $5,000 for the Camp Guide punishment she won with her helmet. Elena could have and should have chosen the POV from Matt if she was truly a Big Brother team player. Instead, she was playing for herself, and greed got the best of her. Needless to say, Alex is not very happy with Elena’s selfish decision and vowed to seek revenge.

The punishments rounded out like this:

• Paul chose Christmas Abbott as his tandem skydive partner. They will both wear full skydive gear while attached to one another as if skydiving for the next 48 hours.
• Jason ended up with the Xtreme-a-Tard punishment, and everything he does for the next 48 hours will be extreme…including his extreme outfit.
• Lastly, Alex ended with the Camp Guide punishment that will last for an entire week. She will wear a Camp Guide outfit while carrying around camping gear all week. Each time the bugle sounds, she must unpack all the camping gear, set up the tent and grill, and cook hotdogs for all of the houseguests. Once she is done cooking for all of them, she must pack up her camping gear and wait for the next bugle call to do it all over again. This is definitely the worst punishment in the Big Brother 19 house.

With his POV win, Matt must chose five houseguests to enjoy a Big Brother Outback Steakhouse dinner with in the backyard. Matt chose all of the participants of the POV competition. Paul graciously gave up his spot to Christmas, as she has been such a good sport while recovering from her foot surgery. As always, the houseguests thoroughly enjoyed their dinner and ate more than they should have for dinner.

At the POV ceremony, Matt decided to use his POV. He used the power on Jason and took him off the block. As planned by the HOH and the house majority, Alex nominated Cody to the block in Jason’s place.

This leaves Elena, Cody, and Matt as the choices for eviction from the Big Brother 19 house this week. Alex is very upset with Elena, as well she should be. Josh wanted to evict Elena last week, and he did not get his wish. He would be quite easy to convince to evict Elena over Cody this week.

Will Alex try and flip the votes to evict Elena this week? Will Cody still be the target for eviction?
