Big Brother 19 – Programming Note – Feeds Down

Quick update for you guys if you missed it regarding the feeds and schedule…

The feeds are currently down (Tuesday evening) and will be down until Wednesday night at around 9 pm.  This is because they are recording the eviction show which will air tomorrow (and pretend it’s live) and they don’t want to ruin the show by giving us spoilers early. Boo. That said, there has been a fairly reliable leak from the production staff that hasn’t been wrong yet, so if/when they leak information, we will post it.

The TV schedule for the week is as follows:

• Wednesday – 8pm est (Alex/Kevin evicted. Down to final 4)
• Thursday – 9pm est (live show. Down to final 3)
• Friday – 8pm est (almost certainly a ‘highlight’ episode featuring stuff that probably hasn’t been aired on cbs yet. Maybe they’ll finally show how awful Alex is?)

So three nights, two evictions, and one happy camper!  If you’re wondering, Alex is almost certainly going to be evicted tonight and then barring some sort of competition miracle, Kevin will be gone on Thursday night. If Kevin throws the next HoH comp, well he deserves to leave in one of the worst finishes in the game (3rd-5th place are the worst because you get zero time in the paid vacation called the jury house).

Even if Kevin doesn’t leave, it’s almost a sure bet that Paul is going to end up in the final 2 and almost a sure bet he’ll win the game. Alex is saying all the right things to make me think she won’t be voting for Paul, but her dumb little ego will likely prevent her voting for Christmas or Josh. That would admit they played a better game than she did and she wouldn’t want that. Did they actually play a better game than her? I guess it depends on what you consider better. If being a player who is loyal enough to do all the dirty work but not skilled enough to actually be a competitive threat “good”, then Christmas and Josh are some of the best ever! Alex was certainly loyal enough, but she was more of a threat competitively so that was her only downfall. Ironic how the better she did this season, the lower her odds were of making it to the finals. I guess that happens when you’re so bad that you can’t spot the real power player in the house even though it was told to you numerous times by people like Cody.

If only Alex or her ride or die had some sort of power late in the game that would have allowed them to set themselves up to be in the final 2 together. If only they won 4 out of the last 6 HoH competitions they were eligible to play in (Alex couldn’t play in the most recent which Josh won). If only they didn’t just throw the remaining two competitions to Christmas for whatever reason.  Imagine how different this season would be?  Oh, wait.  Nevermind.
