Jessica continued to dominate the Big Brother 19 house during Wednesday night’s episode as she added veto winner to her resume this week. So she holds all the power and should be able to get the results she wants this week. Right? Well, not so fast.
We jump into the episode right after Jessica nominated some “floaters” (nope, they’re not floaters). She tells us that Ramses is just the pawn and that Josh is the actual target.
And we’ve instantly got some more Josh tears. He’s upset that Jessica told him he doesn’t deserve to be in the game. Christmas on hand to talk Josh down and I think she reminds him that he does have a couple of chances to save himself this week. So Josh decides to focus on veto.
Jessica gets to work on securing the votes for Josh. She gets a yes from Elena and all Paul gives her is some unsolicited advice. He tells her it’s too early to ask that question and that she should wait until veto. Jessica is pretty much whatever and we cut to an annoying showmance clip with Jessica and Cody. Gag.
Elsewhere, Paul gets to work on rallying people to keep Josh and vote out Ramses. And since Jessica’s nominations were pretty worthless to begin with, it’s not going to take much work. Alex, Jason and Kevin are on board right away. Keeping Josh in the house who is a bigger target (re: shield) than Ramses is a no-brainer.
Paul fills Josh in on his plan and tells Josh to just lay low and act deleted this week but he’s not going anywhere.
After a quick segment on Cody trying to improve his social game by smiling and emoting like a regular human person, it’s time to pick players for the veto competition. Joining Jessica, Ramses and Josh in the competition are Cody, via Jessica’s houseguest choice, Jason and Christmas.
It’s Veto Competition time and it’s the fun exploding one that always ends in 5 of the six players covered in colorful muck! And Christmas is out first. So we get some more stupid Christmas music and puns from Paul in the diary room.
In the next round Jason, Ramses and Josh all are eliminated. So that leaves only Jessica and Cody. And since Cody is a gentleman, he decides to throw it for her. Zzzzz. So Jessica wins the Power of Veto.
So it’s pretty much a given that Josh is staying on the block so Paul again tells Josh to just lay low and be emotional and not cause any problems this week and they’ll all vote to save him. Paul knows that if Jessica uses the veto, then keeping Josh wouldn’t be as easy.
Jessica lets Ramses know that he’s not going home and that if she senses that he’s in danger, she will pull him off the block. Meanwhile, Paul has Matt, Raven, Alex, Jason and Kevin all ready to vote Ramses out. And all they have to do is keep it on the down low until after the veto ceremony. Jessica makes her rounds and everyone assures her that the house is united to get Josh out this week.
But Jessica isn’t convinced. She tells Cody that she’s not confident that if nominations stay the same that Josh will go home. Cody thinks she’s being more paranoid than she needs to be (mostly because she mentioned putting Alex on the block and we all know how Cody feels about Alex going on the block). So Jessica was ready to pull the plug on the plan and save Ramses, but Cody basically talks her out of it.
So it comes as no surprise at the veto ceremony with Jessica decides not to use the Power of Veto and nominations stay the same. So the house is poised to keep Josh and vote out Ramses.
