Josh Martinez made a huge Big Brother 19 move on this week’s Sunday night episode. He tried to start a plan to blindside a former ally, but Paul Abrahamian isn’t about to let Josh get his way without a fight. Meanwhile, Christmas Abbott undermines Paul every chance she gets. She’s not about to let Paul get his way this Big Brother 19 week.
The episode turned into Christmas versus Paul as both tried to push their agenda on Josh. Fortunately for Christmas, her agenda aligns with Josh’s goals. They think Paul is too blind to see the deceptive way of one of his closest allies. Josh and Christmas, pot meet kettle.
Josh starts the week off by having a discussion with his allies and celebrating his win. Alex Ow bursts into the room to mention how Mark Jansen and Elena Davies aren’t happy about his win. Oops, Mark happens to be sitting in the room. Alex tries to backtrack, which leads to a long discussion between the two.
Mark tells the Diary Room that everything Alex is accusing him of is true. Elena Davies immediately starts to worry that she might be the target. She asks Josh about the potential of her going up on the Big Brother 19 block this week.
Christmas, Paul, and Josh are quick to start the discussion about this week’s nominees. Paul advocates a Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf nomination. Josh agrees. However, once Paul leaves the room, Christmas tells him to not listen to everything Paul says.
This week’s Den of Temptation Competition turns the Big Brother 19 house into a haunted house. All the Big Brother 19 players play in it, minus Christmas and Josh. The houseguests must go throughout the house searching for clues. The clues shows them what item they need to find and put into a box. The player with the fastest time wins this week’s immunity.
One by one houseguests enter their haunted house for the competition. The best reactions come from Mark, Elena, Paul, Jessica, and Cody with his non-reaction. After everyone finishes, they gather around the sofa to read the results.
Jessica places last with a time of 15 minutes. She will be the third nominee for this Big Brother 19 week. The top three finishers are Cody, Kevin, and Alex. Kevin comes in third place with 3:11, Alex gets second with 3:06, and first place goes to Cody with 3:00. Jessica coming in last place and Cody coming in first place falls right into the couple’s plans for the week. The second part is Jessica winning the POV.
With Jessica and Cody out of the running as nominees, Josh must rethink his strategy. Of course, Josh’s real goal is Elena but he must nominate her without creating suspicion.
Paul warns Elena that she might be going on the block. He also lies and says that he volunteered to go up, but Josh didn’t want it. Elena then goes to talk to Josh. He tells her that he’s nominating Mark and her because they’re strong competitors. Elena doesn’t quite believe his claim.
The two go back and forth for a bit. Finally, at the nomination ceremony, Josh nominates Mark and Elena as ‘pawns.’ He takes the opportunity to address Cody and Jessica. This angers them both.
Josh ends the episode by telling the DR that attacking Jessica and Cody was part of his plan to blindside Elena. He needs the house to believe that he still wants Jessica out the Big Brother 19 game.

All the Big Brother 19 houseguests are still trying to figure out what exactly to do this week. With Elena Davies and Jessica Graf both remaining on the Big Brother 19 block, it makes it even more conflicting for the houseguests to pick between two major targets. Josh Martinez started the week firmly on team ‘get Elena out.’ He had already started to garner support for that perspective as well.
However, as we get closer to eviction, Josh and others start to see Jessica as too tempting of an option not to eliminate this Big Brother 19 week. We expect to see a lot of flip flopping before someone walks out those Big Brother 19 doors on Thursday.
Kevin Schlehuber made another attempt to get Cody Nickson on his side. He once again brought up the idea of him protecting Cody once Jessica leaves. Cody asked him if there was a way to keep Jessica in the house this week. Kevin said that he didn’t know if that’s possible, but he won’t vote out her this week.
Cody needed to secure two or three other votes to keep Jessica safe.
Later, Jessica and Cody discussed nomination options if Cody wins Head of Household. She encouraged him to wreck havoc by going Evel Dick style in the Big Brother 19 house. Jessica warned Cody about not making it personal, only to use strategic warfare on the houseguests.
Jason Dent and Kevin discussed using Cody to go after Raven Walton, Matt Clines, and Mark Jansen. They wanted to see those players as the next few targets.
Despite the fact that Christmas Abbott hurt Jessica’s chances of winning the Power of Veto, she still seems to want Elena out the house more than her. Josh and Christmas worked simultaneously on Alex Ow and Jason. They tried to convince them both that taking out Elena was the best option.
Of course, Alex and Jason both offered reasons why Jessica needed to go first, especially with jury starting next week.
Meanwhile, Christmas and Josh have figured out that Paul Abrahamian is playing all sides of the Big Brother 19 house. Christmas mentioned not caring as long as he protects her in the Big Brother game.
The pair also spoke about only keeping Jessica if they make a deal with her and Cody to keep them safe next week. By the end of the day, Josh ended up flipping to getting Jessica out the house instead of Elena this week.
Josh also settled on using Raven as a pawn when Mark uses the Veto on himself today.
The night took a crazy turn when Elena and Paul decided to do really dramatic makeup. Raven also saw a rat, a literal one.

TLC producers are obviously working overtime trying to unearth more sorry souls doomed to botch their lives forever, because after last night’s 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After, we bore witness to a new iteration of the 90 Day franchise – Before The 90 Days. While we’ll only be recapping our usual couples’ stories here at Reality Tea, feel free to comment on the new train wrecks folks as well as the old!
Our tales already in progress include star-crossed lovers, Chantel and Pedro, about to wed for the second time even though their families basically want to murder each other. Danielle and Mohamed, who are set to face off in court, continue to delude themselves that the other is 100% to blame for their disastrous marriage. We also find Russ having to accept Paola’s new grand plan of “starring” in a music video, which we all know she’ll do with or without his permission. And finally, Jorge pathetically plans to grovel to Anfisa about giving him a second chance to be systematically tortured.
In the Dominican Republic, Pedro complains to Chantel about her father and brother reaming him out. He knows her family doesn’t accept him, so where do they go from here? He’s all, Baby, Baby, Baby! But Chantel sort of agrees with her family that Pedro’s mom is using her. She’s just not brave enough to cop to it yet. With the wedding only days away, she better take an honesty pill soon. Nah. She’ll just shop for wedding dresses instead!
In LA, Anfisa is still living the single life, so she meets Miranda at the pool to soak in the luxuries she expected Jorge to provide her. Question: What is this chick doing for money? She claims she’s living off of her savings, but I don’t buy it. She’s getting botox, going out to eat, shopping, tanning – all of the things she dreamed of while growing up with grandma in Russia. She also tells Miranda that Jorge has been messaging her constantly, and she’s finally agreed to meet him.
In a shocking confession, Anfisa claims Jorge was her first sexual partner – EVER – and she shares a certain bond with him. Miranda’s like, mmmkay. There are not enough side-eyes on the planet to address this claim. In any case, Anfisa feels like the wronged party, considering the lies Jorge fed her about his finances and his lifestyle in the US. She also hates the way Jorge portrays her as the bad guy to his family, while never admitting his own part in things. AGREED. But, yo, Anfisa – you need to immediately stop physically assaulting that guy if you really want to play innocent victim. Go take up kickboxing, crazy lady!
In Ohio, Mohamed checks into his roach motel, mentally preparing for his battle in court. He’s meeting up with Walmart Tom who – NEWSFLASH!!! – is married. What. The. Hell? I did not see that sh*t coming. Tom pops by to fill Mohamed on Danielle’s duffel-bag “evidence,” and her unhinged screeching on the sidewalk. Tom wonders what Mohamed will do if he has to be deported? Mohamed’s deadpans, “It’s so sad.” He doesn’t seem scared of Danielle and her big bag of bullsh*t, but he should be, considering he’s got an equally big bag himself. In any case, Tom promises they’ll be friends forever! Because Walmart friends with tragic comb-overs are really what you want in your corner when your life hangs in the balance.
As Russ and Paola celebrate his new job in Miami, Paola cooks in a crop top and presents her latest proposition. She wants to appear in a Reggaeton music video for some shady band who contacted her via social media. She’s going to be the “lead model!” says the unnamed producer from Instagram. Russ doesn’t like the sound of this, nor does he want Paola to travel all the way to New Jersey just to twerk in a video for nobodies. But nobodies are exactly who’s hiring models of Paola’s stature, so he’ll have to suck it up – which he’s become very accustomed to doing.
Back in the DR, Chantel and Pedro check into the resort where their wedding will be held – the NEXT DAY! Chantel’s family hasn’t arrived yet, as they’re locked in the van outside. Kidding! (But, actually…are they?) Oh wait, here they are, smiling through gritted teeth as they attempt to talk to their daughter. Pedro refuses to turn around and even acknowledge them, which highlights his immaturity, but is also mildly understandable given the treatment he’s endured at their hands lately.
Moving back to the mess in California, Jorge is busy choosing the perfect gift for Anfisa – one that he delusionally dreams will “fix everything!” Um, Jorge: If it’s not a house, a car, a country club membership, and a solvent bank account, you’re sh*t out of luck. But Jorge thinks a second-hand $300 cuff bracelet will do the trick. His friend, Ramon, agrees, not foreseeing Anfisa beating Jorge with said cuff as soon as she gazes upon it.
After they meet with the wedding planner, who is directed to keep Chantel and Pedro’s families FAR apart – like, out of shooting distance, at least – Chantel hopes that her wedding day won’t manifest into the worst day of her life. Because after the horrific week she’s had, it would only follow suit that her wedding day end up in an all out chicken feet-slinging brawl.
Oh lord. It’s time for Paola’s delusions of grandeur to be put on display again. This time, she’s at some sort of yacht club event meeting up with her complete fraud of an agent, Caroline, who claims this is “the networking spot to BE!” and that millionaires, producers, etcetera will be all over Paola once she steps through these hallowed doors.
After they mingle inside awhile, it becomes clear that this scene is more about wanna-be models dancing to the beat while dudes in T-shirts wander around gawking. But Paola is more interested in complaining about Russ’s hangups, which she does when she sees an old friend appear. Her friend of course echoes what every other “Team Pao” stan has said: Russ should trust her and support her unconditionally – even if it means shaking her s$$ in random videos. “Make the money!” her friends cheers.
Also cheering her dastardly plans is Danielle, who feels ready for court (she’s got her lady clothes laid out and everything, ya’ll!). She’s not ready to let go of Mohamed, though, and admits “it feels like a death” thinking she’ll never be able to torture him from afar see him again. Danielle also suspects Mo is up to something, so she calls to warn him to “please be civil tomorrow and don’t do nothin’ to start drama.” These are the words of a woman who literally stalks her ex to Miami to throw things at him in the street.
But we’ll have to wait another week to see whether “da annulment” is granted, because it’s back to the Pedro and Chantel drama we go! And oh boy, it’s gonna get crazy up in here with Chantel, Pedro’s mom (Lydia), and sister, who sit down for a little…chat. Chantel begins by apologizing for her family’s rude behavior at Pedro’s grandmother’s house. Pedro’s sister wonders why Chantel’s family acted so rudely? Chantel admits her family thinks Pedro married an American just for money and a green card.
Laughing straight in her face, Lydia says she doesn’t care what country Pedro’s bride hails from as long as those flat screen TVs keep comin’. Chantel adds that she wants Pedro to put her first, to make “more gestures” toward her that show he’s willing to support her as his wife – like, perhaps buy her one tenth of the gifts he’s continually funneling Mama Pedro’s way? In her culture, that’s the way things should be. Pedro’s sister takes offense, saying “I don’t care about your culture!” which is essentially the problem BOTH of these families are facing.
Both Lydia and her daughter think Chantel is insane, and are sick of her “repeating herself thousands of times” about being tormented in her life with Pedro. Pedro’s sister is sick of her whining. She wonder if her mom is supposed to live under a bridge just because Chantel is laying her head down next to a microwave every night!?!? Was this chick living in some sort of mansion before Pedro came on the scene? No and no. But that’s not the entire issue here.
Chantel, sick of Pedro’s sister’s finger in her face, finally snaps. She spent all of her savings to bring Pedro to the U.S., and feels she’s not being repaid in kind. Amid the screaming, Chantel finally puts up her hand, shouting that she’s “not gonna sit here and be disrespected by two ignorant people right now!” Pedro’s sister shuts her down, saying to just “Divorce him, period.” But when Chantel mistakes the Spanish word for “period” as “b*tch,” Pedro’s sister doesn’t correct her. Instead, she eggs her on – outraging Chantel and causing her to march off in a huff, calling her a “slut a$$ whore!!!” all the way out. Lydia and her daughter just cackle, again calling Chantel crazy, ultimately knowing they’ve got the upper hand. And in their culture (according to them), they always will.
So, about that seating arrangement at the wedding…?
TELL US: WILL PEDRO AND CHANTEL’S FAMILIES EVER REACH A TRUCE? WHO’S MORE TO BLAME? IS PAOLA’S VIDEO GIG LEGIT? WILL JORGE’S GIFT WIN ANFISA BACK? WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO START COURTROOM DRAMA – MOHAMED OR DANIELLE?

As we get closer and closer to the rebooted return of Once Upon a Time, details about the revamped seventh season continue to trickle out. We knew we'd be meeting new versions of...Congratulations are in order! Kailyn Lowry gave birth to her third child this weekend, another baby boy!
The Teen Mom 2 star confirmed the news with a retweet of a post by Radar Online. She gave birth yesterday morning and is now the proud mom of 3 sons. She shared on Twitter that she hasn’t settled on a name for her baby boy just yet, referring to him as “Baby Lo” throughout her pregnancy. The baby’s father is Chris Lopez, but we’re unsure if the two are back together at this point or not.
Kailyn’s ex-husband, Javi Marroquin, wished Kail well when contacted by Radar. He shared, “I’m glad everything went well for her.” He said that he hadn’t seen the baby yet and given the fact that she just gave birth on Saturday, that makes sense and doesn’t indicate any rift between them.
Kailyn tried to keep her third pregnancy under wraps, but it slipped during filming and she went public. She tried to keep the baby’s father’s identity a secret for a while, but that came out eventually, too, amid a lot of drama.
Congrats to Kailyn and to Baby Lo’s big brothers, Isaac and Lincoln.
TELL US – WILL KAILYN WIND UP BACK TOGETHER WITH HER BABY’S DAD? WILL WE SEE HIM AND THE BABY ON THE NEXT SEASON OF TEEN MOM 2?

Daniel Dae Kim is beginning a new chapter. Kim made headlines about his exit, alongside Grace Park, from Hawaii Five-0 after contract and salary talks broke down between the actors and CBS. Now...Last month, Big Brother 19 scheduled a July Friday episode for the Battle Back competition. It brought the network solid ratings, especially for a Friday night episode that aired in the summer. Therefore, it makes sense for CBS to want to repeat that success with another Friday Big Brother 19 episode.
Last season, Big Brother 18 also had two Friday episodes. As with Big Brother 19, the first one showed the Battle Back, where Victor Arroyo won his way back into the game. The second was a clip-show, Ziggy Marley concert and prize episode.
Big Brother 19 has set the second Friday episode for August 18. This will be the week that the first two people join the jury, and most likely the day after a double eviction. Therefore, we highly doubt CBS plans to do the juror returning competition this soon.
Big Brother and CBS most likely want to wait until at least four or five people are in the Big Brother 19 jury house before holding any battle. So we’re ruling out any sort of battle back type competitions this soon. Despite there still being 12 people currently in the house, we’re at the half way point of the season.
The half way party should happen sometime this week. We expect that the events of the half way party will combine with the carnival type theme from last year, and that will be the theme of the Friday episode. It’ll be another concert, clip show, prize distribution episode.
What’s your prediction for the Big Brother 19 August Friday episode?
