Maybe we'll see the HGs' reactions to the partial solar eclipse during Wednesday's episode. The HGs probably won't be expecting it. Hopefully they don't sleep through this event or stare directly at the sun!

That plush owl has a fitting name, Orwell (pen name of the English author who wrote "1984").

The show changed the exit interview location on stage for the second eviction. I liked seeing the background of the house doors centered between Julie and Elena.

The ear piece for the emcee makes sense. Alex announced the results of the tenth round of the comp with an order of names that built suspense whether Matt mistakenly got the last blueprint question correct or not. Julie usually calls the HGs into the DR to cast their eviction votes in purposeful ordering. First HGs to vote are usually the obvious supporters of a nominee. (In an early season of BB USA, the HG eviction votes used to be taped and production would broadcast them in a particular order.) HGs should note the order that the others are called into the DR to cast their votes; one could make an inference about covert alliances.

With Kevin taking the $25K temptation at the start of the season and now in the unofficial lead for America's Favorite HG (worth $25K) he could walkaway with at least $50K, which is as much as the second place finisher.

Had Cody and Matt been tied at the end of tenth round, it would've been interesting to see the show's tie-breaker between two HGs who are determined to get last in that comp.

Evicted from BB19 on Day 51.

Otev comp participant but still on the block, now with Raven and Elena.

Jessica is the 3rd nominee this week.

The gravest position is on the block But there is a way to halt the clock Say this spell and you will Hex it On eviction night there will be no exit Repeat these words three times... HALTING HEX RISE! EVICTION NIGHT DIES!

She or Cody did not win veto. PoV Ceremony not shown in the August 2nd episode.

The Hex may be needed this week with the nominations of Jessica and Cody in Sunday night's episode.

Jessica's HoH went downhill with the decision not to use the PoV.

PoV thrown to her by Cody after other competitors were eliminated early.

Jessica earns HoH.

And now Jessica has Cody back. What a roller coaster ride she has experienced in BB19 so far.

The gravest position is on the block But there is a way to halt the clock Say this spell and you will Hex it On eviction night there will be no exit Repeat these words three times... HALTING HEX RISE! EVICTION NIGHT DIES!

Halting Hex. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Yes I heard Jessica say "mute point. " Doubt other HGs who know better would attempt to correct her.

Thanks. Makes sense that Alex would probably watch Star Trek.

I liked Alex's use of the word "collective." Don't think "collective" has been used in prior USA BB episodes. I wonder where she picked up that term. Alex's BB bio says she has Netflix on while at her job and then watches five hours of TV afterward. Is "collective" a word used in another recent show, movie, video game, sci-fi/fantasy genre?

If Jessica is evicted this week it would make an interesting Battle Back episode to see her and Cody compete against each other (and Cameron).

Understandably, Christmas has been given medical news that is upsetting. One day Christmas will value the gift she received. So much appreciation for Christmas's donor.

Is the Den of Temptation twist over after the Halting Hex?

This episode showed the HGs competing in the HoH comp. In the final few seconds of the broadcast, the camera showed Raven's the large pacemaker protruding from her stomach. From Raven's BB website interview with Jeff:
