BB day 65

I didn't think that Zingbot's zings were as good as some in past seasons. But at least he managed to get in the obligatory anti-Trump zings.

So now we wait for Mark's eviction tonight.

'Big Brother 19' Recap: President Zingbot Can't Save Mark
John Kubicek

Senior Writer, BuddyTV

This week on Big Brother 19 I get to take a break from mocking these exceptionally idiotic HGs because Zingbot is here to do it for me. Yes, it's time for a giant robot to make snarky jokes about the remaining nine HGs, which makes sense since there isn't a whole lot of actual strategy or game to explore.

Just like in recent weeks, there's a lot of "what if" talk, making multiple back-up plans which are all completely useless because Plan A works out just fine.

The Pointless Plans

Mark knows that the plan is to backdoor him, and so does everyone else. There's a lot of talk about what will happen if Mark wins the Power of Veto, but none of it matters. Christmas wants the back-up target to be Jason, but Kevin is hoping that it's Matt. Mark is sad about how his game is dead while Christmas and Josh respect that he's taking it like a man.

Christmas, Josh and Paul meet up to discuss being the misfits. Paul thinks he can beat both of them in competitions and the Final 2. They make plans for the future to take out Matt, Jason and Alex next, leaving them in the Final 5 with Raven and Kevin. Paul is just dominating this game and no one else is even trying.

Which BB19 HGs Should Return for Another Season?>>>

Mark, Paul and Raven all get picked to play in the Power of Veto, so at least Mark has a glimmer of hope. Jason does freak out a bit over Christmas picking Raven with HG's Choice. Her explanation is non-existent.

President Zingbot

Zingbot shows up and now he's the President, so I guess his campaign from last season was successful. There are definitely some Trump zings thrown in, like how absurd it is that Zingbot went from being a reality TV star to being President. Most of the HGs freak out as If meeting Zingbot is even better than winning the game, with Raven screeching like a banshee. They all bow down before Zingbot, except for Kevin who refuses to bow for some stupid robot.

Here are the Zings:

Mark, I think you might be bye-sexual because every time you tried to get sexual with Elena, she said..."Bye."

Alex, I see you've been forced to carry around a ton of dead weight. Or as I like to call it...Jason.

Oh, poor Raven. You got the Clown-itard. This is the worst punishment ever. Oh wait, that's just your...face.

Josh, my heart goes out to you. You've shed so many tears this summer. Too bad you can't shed any...weight.

Paul, last season you taught me so much like how to have friendship, how to be pissed and how to lose...half a million dollars.

Matt, congrats on making it so far in the game, especially since the only thing you've done is...Raven.

Kevin, I hear you like to use Saran wrap to preserve your youth. Newsflash...too freaking late.

Alex, what do you call someone with bleach blonde hair, likes to wear cat ears and handles lots of wieners...a [BLEEP]. (I believe he called her a hooker.)

Christmas, you have such a good heart I can guarantee you will find no coal in your stocking this holiday season. However, you will find...[He sings the 12 Days of Christmas, listing all of the x-rays, hospitals, pain pills and crutches she'll need, ending with "one guilty rodeo clown."]

The Power of Veto Competition

It's the slip 'n' slide competition, which is usually saved for an HoH. The HGs runs back and forth on a slippery surface to fill a giant bowl with liquid and Christmas can't play. The premise is that President Zingbot stole the election by colluding with President Pun-tin, which is hilarious.

Mark is too big and keeps falling. He immediately knows he's out of it. Raven also falls a lot and is a disaster. Paul and Matt go right for the big bowl while the others go for a smaller bowl to get a bigger scoop they can use for eight trips.

Jason gets the big scoop when Paul is about halfway done with the big bowl. The big scoop is massive and it's a game-changer and Jason fills more than half the big bowl with it. It puts him in a massive lead over Paul and Matt, while Mark and Raven are out.

Jason wins the Power of Veto!

Everyone celebrates, but it was very obvious after the first minute or two of this competition that nothing mattered because Mark wasn't going to win and he would be backdoored and evicted. Paul is happy that he gets what he wants without having to do anything while Christmas pretends that she has a tough decision to make.

Mark's Futile Campaign

Mark talks to Christmas and Josh, trying to convince them to keep him. He says that he's alone and will pledge his loyalty to them, adding that she could make a big move by backdooring Alex instead. He says that Alex is with Jason, Kevin and maybe Paul, she's a strong competitor and everyone likes her. Josh and Christmas agree that Alex is a big threat who needs to be taken out sooner rather than later.

Jason uses the Power of Veto to save himself. Christmas nominates Mark. Like last week with Cody, his campaign fell on deaf ears. She claims that simply by listening to his campaign, she fulfilled her obligation to pay him back for voting to save her in week 1. Wow, she let him talk to her, what a benevolent woman she is.

I'd like to see Christmas come back with a healed foot but it might not be healed enough for season 20.

The tear-jerking drama of Cody and Jessica indicates that one or both are good candidates to return.

Which 'Big Brother 19' HGs Should Return for Another Season?

John Kubicek
Senior Writer, BuddyTV

Big Brother has grown very fond of bringing back players from recent seasons to play the game again. In just the last year we've seen Frank, Nicole, Da'Vonne, James, Jason and now Paul all come back for a second chance. So it stands to reason that one or two of the newbies from Big Brother 19 could have a chance at returning in a future season as a veteran or even an All-Star.

Why Matt Is an Embarrassment on BB19>>>

But who could it be? Big Brother 19 definitely had a lot of duds who will almost certain never come back (Matt, Raven, Dominique and Elena are just a few). Here's my take on the HGs who are most likely to be seen again in the future of Big Brother.

Jessica and/or Cody

Despite the fact that they finished in 12th and 11th place, these two dominated the first half of the game. They were truly the stars of the show, a prominent showmance that wasn't afraid to make moves and play hard. Sure, they made many mistakes, but it's not unprecedented. Da'Vonne and Jason were both evicted pre-jury on season 17, yet both got a second chance. And Rachel was gone in week 5 of season 12, but still came back the following year. I'm not sure the show would bring both of them back together (unless it's a Dynamic Duos-style twist), but I suspect Big Brother fans haven't seen the last of Jody.

Josh

The giant meatball can come across as annoying at times with his love of circus music, pots and pans. But in a season filled with bland people who are happy to just sit back and relax, Josh at least tries to be entertaining. If producers care more about making good TV than a good game, Josh's return would achieve that goal.

it's always entertaining to see how a HG skirting the edge of mental pathology will do the second time around. Josh might accept if given another chance.

Alex

She's petty, aggressive and idiotically loyal to Paul, but she's also tough and a competitor. The biggest reason she may return is simply that the show regularly has a diversity problem, and there aren't many female Asian HGs to choose from. I doubt Bridgette, Paola, Helen or Jun will be getting a call any time soon to play the game again and since James Huling already got a second chance, Alex would probably be the #1 choice among all Asian HGs.

QUIZ: Which Big Brother 19 Houseguest Are You?>>>

As for the rest of the cast, I would be shocked if they return. Christmas might come back to see how she does without a broken foot, but that depends largely on how long her recovery is. Jason and Kevin are both dads and they don't seem like the kind of guys who would want to do this again. Mark was a wimp while the ones I listed at the top are just too bland. If I had to pick a fifth potential All-Star, I might be left with Cameron, just for the novelty of being someone who only spent less than 12 hours in the house coming back.

Although we didn't see enough of him to make a fair judgement, he struck me as being rather bland if he had stuck around longer.
