BB day 28

With Jason not changing the nominees with his POV it looks like Dominique is still on schedule to be booted on Thursday. She has become a non-entity which is different than a floater so her absence will hardly be noticed. An example of a floater would be someone like Elena who contributes little or nothing to strategy or is not a threat in the comps. but participates in group activities/discussions and is seen on camera constantly even while carrying on a showmance with Matt, all the while not drawing attention to herself  in any negative way.

A non-entity (my term, it doesn't appear in the BB lexicon while floater does ) is a HG who also contributes nothing to strategy or comp. threats but remains aloof and isolated from the group,  does not participate in discussions is rarely seen on camera unless the BB camera crews actively seek her out which usually shows her sitting alone reading something, presumably her Bible, but the 'Bible readers' on BB of which there have been quite a few over the seasons are not necessarily non-entities.

Another type is what I call an 'elitist'. again my term , not in the BB lexicon. This season a perfect example of an elitist is Jessica. They are characterized by being 'hot' in the most common definition of the term, usually hold more exotic jobs outside the House, and are often in a showmance early on. They hold themselves aloof from the 'common folk' in the house but don't always remain isolated, participating in discussions, are a strategic consideration for other HGs scheming, if not strong strategic players themselves. The early showmance is often their source of estrangement from other HGs but this often goes away if their showmance partner is booted, leaving them behind. All of this is a classic description of Jessica. She is well on the way to redeeming herself in the eyes of most of the other HGs and could go further than expected even a week ago.

With Dominique likely being the 4th HG to participate in the Battle Back on Friday there seems to be no greater threat to Cody winning it and coming back into the house. This would reignite the showmance with Jessica. probably throwing her into 'elitist' mode again, not to her advantage, and of course putting Cody in position again to be a threat to win, and reestablishing the Paul/Cody rivalry.


Big Brother 19: Counting The Votes In Week 3 [POLL]
July 18, 2017 Matthew Boyer Big Brother 19 44 Comments

There are ten votes this week on Big Brother 19 and we could be looking at our first unanimous decision of the season, unless a hinky vote strikes again!

Ramses counts the votes in Week 3

Our final noms for the week are Dominique and Jessica after Monday’s Veto Ceremony left the original picks unchanged follow Jason’s decision to stand down and avoid a Mark renom this week. Now the house has to decide between the old co-public enemy and this week’s new one.

While Alex and Paul were working on getting Dominique targeted thanks to her talk show debacle, it was the late night argument between Dominique and Paul that really put things over the edge for the rest of the house. It looks like everyone has agreed at this point that they’re just fine with sending Dominique out the door and leaving Jessica around for awhile longer.

Right now I don’t see any votes coming Dominique’s way. She’s told Josh and Mark that she understands they’re probably going to vote against her and have relieved them of any possible guilt over that. Maybe she’s trying some reverse psychology here or maybe she’s just ready to move on from the game.


Mark has been Dominique’s closest ally this season and if she’s lost even him then I won’t be surprised by a sweep against her. She definitely doesn’t have the votes she needs to stay much less put a dent in that number. Meanwhile you’ve got Jessica who has reemerged as a member of the house after being detached from Cody’s hip last week. If she keeps her head down and plays it cool then I don’t see her being in any danger.

Now there’s always a chance we could get another hinky vote this week thanks to Kevin. Several HGs seem to be on to Kevin’s little games with his votes so a decision by him this week to cast a mystery vote again could put him in more trouble, but that’d likely be limited to reduced trust. It’s caused enough trouble and he’s played it off well though so I wouldn’t mind him trying it again!

If the vote were held today I’d expect Julie to announce a 10-0 decision against Dominique. She’ll be off to face this week’s big twist, the Battle Back arena! Think she can fend off Cody, Jillian, and Cameron?

Christmas just came back into the house after her latest Dr. visit. She has a new, slightly smaller cast, black instead of white.



She said it feels better but she'll have to wrap white bandages around it when she's outside to keep it from getting too hot.

Meanwhile Elena paints Jessica's face with some brown stuff while Raven 'paints' on lipstick. Note how some of the cameras are positioned without the HGs being aware of where they are. There are 92 cameras in the house this season, the most ever, and some of the new angles are immediately apparent. The 'through the mirror' camera is not new.
