Big Brother 19: Week 5 Recap (Wednesday)


Disclaimer: This post contains spoilers for episode fourteen of Big Brother 19 after the jump! Everything down below are my personal opinions. I am in no way affiliated with any corporation, especially CBS and Big Brother. Thank you to CBS for the images.

Pre-VETO COMPETITION
Jessica has just announced that she's putting Ramses and Josh on the block. Josh starts crying because he doesn't think he deserves to be treated this way, or spoke to this way, by Jessica despite him going out of his way to be a whole entire dumb ass this whole entire week. Jessica goes around the house asking people if they're going to have her back and vote Josh out until Paul tells her to cool it and wait until the veto to start going around and doing that. Jessica nods in Paul's face and essentially flips him off in her confessional. Jessica and Cody are about to engage in disgusting sexual intercourse right in front of our poor, undeserving faces when he starts verbally eating her out. He tells her what a boss she was at the veto meeting then she tells him about Paul tell her to chill out. Josh is out here still crying, Alex is laughing because Jessica put up the two most irrelevant cast members on the block and Paul wants to keep Josh in the house because Josh is his bitch. He slithers over to a sobbing Josh and tells him that he trusts him, that he should be fine and that if push comes to shove he will rally the house in favor of him during nominations. Jason starts crying because he misses his son and he thinks his son is wondering where daddy is. If he, or whoever he's staying with, picks up a remote and turns the TV to CBS he'll know that his daddy is trying to win this money for him. Josh sees him crying, Jason refuses to admit he was crying and Josh hugs him because he thinks it's cute that he has emotions.

VETO COMPETITION
Jessica, Ramses and Josh are already playing for the veto competition. Jessica picks Cody, Josh picks Jason and Ramses picks Christmas (LOL). Jessica tells Ramses that she's going to make sure he's safe and Josh, ridiculously desperate at this point, tells Jason to throw the veto competition to him if push comes to shove. For some reason Kevin is wearing grapes when he tells everyone to come play the smoothie veto game. The playing contestants have to look at a screen, memorize the ingredients they see, memorize the order they're in and poor the correct ingredient into their "smoothie." The last person standing wins the power of veto! Christmas, having been medically cleared (LOL) to play this game proves that she can't do physical or mental competitions and loses first. Jason memorizes things for a living but he, Ramses and Josh crack in the second round...leaving the win to go to Jody. Cody annoying throws the competition to save Jessica's "hair" resulting in Jessica winning the power of veto!



Post-COMPETITION/Pre-MEETING
Paul tells Josh to lay low and act defeated because he thinks Jessica will keep nominations the same if he walks around pouting. Paul starts slithering around the house to get everyone to vote Ramses out because Ramses is a weak floater and will play to whatever side of the house that benefits him said week, whereas Josh flat out hates Jessica and Cody. Josh goes to Jessica and tells her that he wants to be civil and she's fine with it. Jessica is fresh out of fucks to give about Josh because as far as she's concerned he's out of the house come Thursday night. Ramses, however, is frightened that this is going to backfire and send him home. He brings this up to Jessica and in an effort to ease his mind she tells him that she'll ask around the house. If she feels like he isn't safe then she'll pull him off the block. When she asks Raven where everybody's head is at and if they're all committed to sending Josh home Raven, verbatim, goes "um....yah we r totally going 2 send josh home hehehehe uh...totes!!!" Jessica's face, understandably, turns into a z formation derp face. She tells Cody that she's considering pulling Ramses off. At this point in the episode, I'm actually beginning to see it for Jessica. She's a lot smarter than we give her credit for. She doesn't trust a soul in the house and spits out a paranoid hypothetical that everyone is going to turn on her and send Ramses home. Mama's hypothetical is exactly what the other side of the house is planning to do so I am shouting at the television "YES MAMA, YOU BETTER FLIP THE HOUSE AROUND 360 DEGREES AND END UP ON TOP!"

VETO MEETING
At the veto ceremony, Jessica tells Josh and Ramses to give their case as to why she should use the veto on them. Ramses kisses her as and Josh, still out here draped in sunglasses and a hoodie like he's Tiffany Pollard on BBUK, is looked depressed as he tells her that he knows he's her target, that he respects it and that he's just going to enjoy his last few days in the house. Jessica pulls the dumbest move of the season and leaves the block the same. It's not a dumb move because she made it, it's not even a dumb move because it doesn't make sense. It's dumb because she took Cody's advice and because of that she's going to be blindsided come eviction night. Cody set off an atomic bomb on Jessica's game before he left and he came right back in playing just as dumb a game as her. Instead of going with her gut, of course she had to let Cody's dumb, spoon licking ass influence her. The best case scenario, in my opinion, would be swapping Ramses out for Paul. With Paul and Josh on the block she would have either gotten out her arch nemesis, or the strongest player in the game right now. Either way she would have eliminated someone from the other side of the house and done something victorious with her HoH. Girl, bye.

EPISODE GRADE: C+

Stray notes:
-I could have sworn Ramses was going to start riding Mark like a marry go round.
-Cody really has to stop licking his spoons like that.
-Jason drinks his shower water.
-Cody confirms that he's being fake as shit to Christmas, trying to be nice shit for his social game
-Paul/America to Josh: "Shut up and go cry."
-Really, though. Shut. Up. Josh. There came a point between his constant shouting at the camera and crocodile tears that I was hoping he blew up with his smoothie.
