Time for our annual Big Brother series where we dissect each of the final three players’games. For part 1, we’re looking at Big Brother 19’s Christmas Abbott’s game, including her biggest game strengths and weaknesses. These pieces are more to analyze and less to defend or condemn their actions.
Christmas started off Big Brother 19 as an easy fan favorite. She seemed like the strong female player that Big Brother fans hope for every year. She was charming, funny, and the right dose of weird in her preseasons interview. The first couple weeks of the season, she continued to exhibit this charisma.
Fans were in awe of Christmas as they watched her be the only player to actually show Josh Martinez compassion during his meltdowns in the first couple of days. Christmas’s social game was her biggest strength. The reason she didn’t leave week 1 was because Paul Abrahamian fought for her to stay, but also because her former alliance really liked her.
Christmas also even (briefly) got Jessica Graf back on her side after totally turning Jessica into an enemy in the first 15 days. Then Christmas’s injury happened. Instead of giving up, she decided to stay in the game, a decision that got mixed reactions from people outside and inside the Big Brother 19 game. Christmas’s brand is her body, her fitness, and her looks.
Therefore, we could have easily seen Christmas sink into depression, and just not try to play in the competitions, or interactwith the other houseguests. However, we saw Christmas always hungry to participate, and often visibly frustrated when she was not allowed to compete. She also remained fairly social throughout her whole Big Brother experience.
Where Christmas’s game failed was that she was social but also very ready to start a fight. She constantly stuck her nose in conversations that had nothing to do with her, which turned quite a few houseguests sour to her as a player and a person. Eventually, Christmas lost her natural leader instincts.
She became too attached to Paul, and just let him take over as she followed and became a ‘team’ player. Her allegiance to Paul also made her less open to new information and ideas. Josh constantly told Christmas that they needed to get Paul out, but she wouldn’t listen.
Christmas’s social game also gave her chances to form new allies, like when she almost had Jessica and Cody Nickson back on her side, but she threw them away with the Ring of Replacement. Christmas also held a grudge like no other. It kept her from making smart moves at times, and led to her making revenge-esque moves.
In the end, it would be hard to see Christmas beat Josh or Paul, but she is really good at public speaking. Therefore, in her final 2 speech, she may be able to play on emotions and convince the houseguests that her journey was a hard one–overcoming an injury, being a target week 1, and helping her alliance members all get to the final 3.
We don’t believe Christmas would win in the end but with Big Brother, you have to expect the unexpected.

Whether you love Shannon Beador or not, everyone has to admit that she is really doing the most to earn that orange. She really puts herself out there on Real Housewives of Orange County. She hasn’t been shy about her marital problems or her forty pound weight gain this season.
Instead of solely being applauded for her openness about her body, Shannon actually took a lot of heat for attributing the gain to stress caused by her nemesis Vicki Gunvalson. After apologizing for that comment a million times over, Shannon will (most likely) have to address it again when she films the RHOC reunion episodes. She will be ready for it though. She has lost some weight and she plans to lose even more before she reunites with the rest of the cast for the reunion.
Shannon reflected on her weight loss in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. She admitted, “I wasn’t excited about [documenting my weight loss journey], and I sure wasn’t excited to start filming.”
She confessed, “It’s, like, ‘Oh, crap!’ Now I gotta be in front of a camera, which doesn’t make you look skinnier! But I knew I was going to start working on the weight loss, so at least now when I watch it, I know I’m down a little. I’m down about half, down about half of the weight.”
The mother of three said, “I want to look healthy,” and shared that she has been working out for a half hour every day with the same trainer that we saw her with when she got her BMI checked on the show.

We had a six hour Big Brother 19 Live Feeds outage due to the second part of the final Head of Household competition. Prior to it, the houseguests just had a short discussion about the finals. Paul Abrahamian really encouraged Josh Martinez to win the second round, so that Christmas Abbott didn’t have a chance to stop their path to the Big Brother 19 finals.
With Josh’s possible change of heart, it seems like a done deal: Josh and Paul will be the final two. However, Josh has three days to switch back and forth about his decision to take Paul to the finals over Christmas. We hope he wakes up before it’s too late.
The feeds returned to Josh and Christmas just finishing the second round of the HOH comp. Both were angry and complained a lot about how hard it was to complete. Apparently, it involved a lot of physical activity as they had to run, shoot down pictures of the former houseguests, and answer trivia questions. Paul took the time to address both privately. He congratulated Christmas for doing a great job, despite her losing.
She looks a little disappointed in herself for not being able to beat Josh. Christmas also kept insisting that she could have won it if one factor changed. Josh claimed that he beat her by 7 minutes. Paul patted Josh on the head and told him good job. He expressed fear that Josh was losing it (since they took so long to complete it).
Paul insisted that neither of them had a chance to win in the finals if Christmas was there with either of them. They then discussed telling her together that they weren’t bringing her to the end. They decided to tell her together and drop this bomb later in the week.
Both also lied about their goodbye messages. They both claimed they clowned the jury members in them, and that’s fuel for the jury to hate them on finale night.

At this point, Page Six is another character on Real Housewives of New York. This can be attributed to Sonja Morgan (allegedly) tipping off the press. This time Page Six is quoting Sonja herself and there are no hidden sources.
Sonja and Million Dollar Listing star Josh Flagg went to Page Six after she injured Josh and made him bleed before his wedding to Bobby Boyd. Thankfully, they both spoke to the outlet to recall a humorous story and there weren’t actually any hard feelings.
The incident in question went down a dinner before the big day. Josh explained to Page Six, “Sonja and I have been great friends for many years, and any wounds she may or may not have inflicted on me are well welcomed. I love her dearly.”
Sonja said, “We were all hanging out, and Josh leaned over to look at my diamond-and-pearl necklace, but he unfortunately tripped over and I had to literally catch him by his balls.” She added, “Yes, it is true I had to grab him right between the legs, and held him up by the balls. He’s a tiny thing so it wasn’t hard. He may have banged his head, but it wasn’t bad.” Even though the article does say that “they had to put makeup over the gash on his forehead for the wedding pictures.”
According to the New York housewife, “He had a little nick on his face, but if you look at the wedding pictures, he was fine and he looks great.” Thank god for makeup, photo editing, and filters.
Sonja said, “That’s just the way we roll. He is the male version of me. We just have that crass, bawdy sense of humor with each other. I am so happy that Josh and Bobby found each other.”

Just because Real Housewives of New York is in the off season, it doesn’t mean that the tough times have paused for Bethenny Frankel. The Skinnygirl founder had a a serious health issue to address after discovering that she has a cancerous skin growth on her face.
In an interview with People, Bethenny discussed her basal cell carcinoma diagnosis. She said, “I had a growth on my face that was enlarging. I guessed it to be a basal cell carcinoma and had it lanced and removed.”
Bethenny also said, “The doctor confirmed it is indeed basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer, and says while it is cancer, I am lucky to have it removed — so it won’t affect my overall health.” Thankfully Bethenny found the growth early enough that she can remove it and take care of the situation.
She revealed, “I am now scheduled to undergo Mohs surgery to remove the cancer, followed immediately by plastic surgery to remove any scarring.”

We are down to the final 3 Big Brother 19 players. In less than four days, either Josh Martinez, Christmas Abbott, or Paul Abrahamian will win the game. On Thursday, Paul won the first part of the three part Head of Household competition. This left Christmas and Josh to face off in part two. Whoever wins this part faces off against Paul in the Big Brother 19 finale.
Of course, Paul would prefer if Josh won this part. He wants Josh and him in the finals, and believes Josh takes him over Christmas. Originally, we would have laughed at Paul’s confidence in this Big Brother 19 outcome. However, Josh is starting to have a change of heart.
The only way Christmas might see the final 2 is if she wins it herself. In the past, Big Brother final Head of Household competitions went as followed: the first part is a physical endurance, the second a days memorization and physical activity, and third part is just an A or B choice of what the jury would say. We expected Christmas to not be medically cleared to compete in any of the first two parts.
However, Christmas was allowed to participate in part 1, she just had to be careful about how she rested her foot. Therefore, we fully expect her to participate in part 2. It’s not a complete given that Josh wins part two. Christmas outperformed him in part 1, and she might have her days memorized better than Josh.
If Christmas manages to beat Josh in part two, then it will be interesting to see if she throws the last part to Paul or really tries for it herself.
So who won part 2 of the final Big Brother 19 Head of Household competition?
MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Josh won the second part of the Head of Household competition. It sounds like a new one, that involved hitting cardboard cutouts of houseguests to pick them as the right answer. It went on for three rounds. Josh beat Christmas by 7 minutes.

Right now the biggest Big Brother 19 competition isn’t who will win the $500,000, because with yesterday’s revelation, it’s almost a done deal. The biggest competition is actually who wins America’s Favorite Player. Every year fans come out to fight for their favorite’s chances at $25,000, making fliers, videos, lists, and campaign posters. This year, the competition is just as heated as always in the Big Brother fandom. After all is said and done, it’s basically a battle between Big Brother 19’s Cody Nickson and Kevin Schlehuber.
Overall Cody was depicted as the villain for the first couple weeks: he was the foil to Paul Abrahamian’s hero. As Big Brother 19 progressed, the line between villain and hero blurred. This factor started to give Cody’s fanbase some momentum. Cody became the anti-Paul, and a person people who disliked Paul’s gameplay could get behind.
Now Cody represents a symbol, for many fans, of the only opposition (besides Dominique Cooper and Jessica Graf) against Paul. Therefore, he is their favorite player. On the other side of the coin, Kevin was one of Paul’s most loyal minions. He put up no fight against him and did exactly as told week after week. So why is Kevin getting so much Big Brother 19 support?
It’s simple: Kevin is likable and provided the most entertainment all season. Fans have adored him all Big Brother 19, and want to reward him with another $25,000. Kevin also gained fandom momentum when Alex Ow, Josh Martinez, Christmas Abbott, Raven Walton, and Matt Clines started to attack him as a person and player.
Based on Friday’s Big Brother 19 recap, it seems like CBS is more behind giving Kevin America’s Favorite Player than they are giving it to Cody. They gave both of them favorable segments, but Kevin got more of them. They even showed that he needed money for his family.
We expect host Julie Chen to announce the top three America’s Favorite Player candidates on finale night, and it would be a shocker if Kevin and Cody weren’t in the top two names listed. The third could be anyone, including Josh (if Christmas cuts him at final 3), Jason Dent, Mark Jansen, or Alex. Oh yeah and of course, mastermind, puppetmaster, dance extraordinaire Raven.
So which Big Brother 19 player gets your America’s Favorite Player vote? Vote below and comment.

If you enjoy watching Big Brother houseguests sleep, then yesterday’s Live Feeds were perfect for you. The day mainly revolved around the Big Brother 19 houseguests sleeping and cuddling. There was a few waking hours where the players looked back on the season.
CBS also ended its season long drought by providing more alcohol, which they used to treat themselves with mimosas. There was also a lot of touching and some forced cuddling going on around in the Big Brother house. Despite a whole lot of nothing, there was one major event that might greatly cost one player $500,000.
Josh Martinez spoke to us (the camera) about his final plans. After weeks of talking about cutting Paul Abrahamian at the final three, and taking Christmas Abbott instead, it seems that might not be the outcome on finale night. Josh is starting to think that he can’t beat Christmas in the end.
This new belief is mainly due to Paul getting in his head to convince him that Christmas beats both of them in the Big Brother 19 finale. Paul wasn’t just telling Josh this to trick him into keeping him, but a general belief.
As we told you yesterday, Kevin Schlehuber warned Paul not to take Christmas to the end, because some sympathy votes might result in her beating him. This pumped Paul up even more to encourage Josh to win part 2 of the final Head of Household competition.
Josh believed that he might have a better chance against Paul than Christmas because the jury might be bitter and not vote for Paul. As with every Josh decision, he’ll probably go back and forth before deciding.However, we aren’t too sure about Josh’s actual chances to win the final part of the last Big Brother 19 Head of Household competition.
Josh taking Paul to the finale over Christmas would definitely be a decision he’ll end up regretting.

For some, it's a badge of honor. For others, it's a total nightmare. The 30 people featured below have at least one thing in common: at one point or another, somebody has...
The goal for any TV actor worth their salt is to find themselves on at least one show that will go down in the pantheon of all-time greats. But to land one such series after the other? Not...Now that we are down to the final week of Big Brother 19, the time has come for the annual tradition of strolling down memory lane to remind us how the season progressed. This year we were graced with watching everyone, except Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson, bow down to Paul Abrahamian and allow him to steam roll his way to the final three. Let’s relive how the puppet master did just that.
The final three houseguests, Paul, Christmas Abbott & Josh Martinez, were the hosts for the special Big Brother episode. They shared a bottle of champagne together as they recalled how they got to this point in the season. Typically this recollection includes some high points, some low lights and lots of Big Brother drama.
We begin with a clip showing how Kevin Schlehuber confided to Matt Clines about taking the $25,000 temptation at the very beginning of the season. We watched as Matt promised to keep the information to himself and then turn around and share that information with other houseguests. A screaming match ensued with Kevin against Alex Ow, Raven Walton, and Matt. This was definitely a low light for the houseguests.
Next we dive into the showmances for Big Brother 19. Those included Cody & Jessica, Matt & Raven, and let’s not forget Mark Jansen and Elena Davies. We got to see a tender moment between Jessica and Cody when he divulged to Jessica that he was the father to a five year-old little girl. More interesting was the fight between Matt and Raven in the kitchen. This was aired on BBAD but somehow didn’t make the primetime show. Before their spat was over, there was some milk and a whole lot of cinnamon all over the kitchen and both of them. That made for some entertaining television.
Big Brother decided to do a segment on Kevin including his debonair clothing, his sense of style, and his potential secretive ties to the mob. We got to see a few of the famous duck faces but a ‘Kevin duck face montage’ would have been much more entertaining. Kevin has provided many laughs throughout the season for the houseguests as well as us viewers.
There was a segment on the animals in the Big Brother house including a rat, yes a real rat, that was feasting in the grungy kitchen. Paul and Josh attempted to set a rat trap by luring the beast with food to no avail. The next animal highlighted in the Big Brother house was the snake. This wasn’t a real snake, but the one Dominque Cooper accused Paul of being about the time he really started to control the house. Why didn’t anyone listen to what she had to say? She certainly had Paul’s number from early on in the season.
The most dramatic segment of this episode was the montage of tears shed this season, predominately in the diary room. From Mark to Josh and from Elena to Jessica, most all of the houseguests shed some tears this season. Cody was the only one I noticed that remained tear-free.
Finally we got a sneak peek at the first round of the final Head of Household competition. In keeping with Big Brother tradition, this was an endurance competition that featured unicorns flying through the clouds. Each houseguest had their own unicorn and were instructed to hold onto the unicorn’s tail (aka a rope) while balancing on a tilting board. With one of her feet still healing from the break, Christmas will certainly be at a disadvantage in this competition. Will Paul win round 1 and proceed directly to round 3? We won’t know until the grand finale Wednesday evening. Check back for spoilers and click here to see who won the first round of the HOH competition.
