Big Brother Spoilers: Is Alex In Trouble?
Alex won the coveted Head of Household competition during Thursday’s double eviction episode of Big Brother, and while she did not get one of her targets out, she did get someone out who would have no qualms about putting her on the block.
Yes, Raven and her 79888 medical conditions are officially out of the house. The episode may have been a waste, but at least we got to see the Arkansas native’s true colors.
Unfortunately for Alex, she is next in the pecking order and given that she forfeited her opportunity to win during the double eviction, her days are likely numbered.
When the feeds returned last night, Alex quickly set the record straight and said that she was not out for revenge. She did say she questioned whether Paul was the one to turn on her, but he did damage control.
Josh was still annoyed that Paul was making him and Christmas the targets when Paul was instrumental in orchestrating the whole thing.
Before the final Head of Household competition of the night took place, Paul told Kevin that he should try to win the competition because then he could take Alex out once and for all.
With that said, that would also mean Josh, Christmas and Paul would be able to compete in the next challenge for power in the house. Kevin seemed happy to play along.
Josh was worried about Kevin knowing the plan to evict Jason. It made him worry that Paul or Christmas was turning on him. Paul said he did not turn on anybody and that Kevin was just a smart man.
Oh, Josh. You are going to be so pissed when you get home and watch the season back.
Josh emerged as the new HOH, and that meant Alex’s game was coming to an end if she does not win the veto. Alex is the target, and the rest of them will opt to keep Kevin in until Final 4.
If Alex wins, that means things will get rather interesting in the coming week because then there’s also the possibility that she could win the next HOH and take Paul or Josh out.
For now, Alex thinks everything is fine between her and Paul, but could Paul cut Christmas and Josh off? It’s a possibility.
Alex would be wise to rattle Josh and let him know that Paul has been in an alliance with her all season.
But then again, this is Big Brother 19. The houseguests are not wise.
What do you think about all of this?

Jim Bob Duggar: Let Me Explain Grandparenting to You ...
We haven’t heard a worse announcement of celebrities taking their show on the road since the news that Bill Cosby is coming to town.
This time around, the advice-givers who should be giving advice to exactly no one are Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.
Specifically, they’re hosting an event where they’ll tell people how to be grandparents.
Not everybody has the gumption to think that they are in a position to tell other people who are experienced with life and parenting how exactly they should go about being grandparents.
But not everybody is the Duggar patriarch, Jim Bob Duggar.
The Duggars tend to try to portray their critics as anti-Christian, but their particular vein of fundamentalism is so extreme that most criticisms against the reality family come from Christians themselves.
This is a family where daughters are viewed as essentially the property of their fathers until they’re married off — at which point they must submit and belong to their husbands.
Some of Jim Bob’s daughters seem to be able to break away from their family beliefs only when they marry, as Jim Bob has some passionate disagreements about theology with some of his sons-in-law.
Even in the area of parenting, the Duggars have been accused of terrible things, including physical abuse and covering up the fact that their son, Josh Duggar, molested five young girls.
So they’re not really in a position to give anyone advice.
But you know that some of their hardcore fans will go anyway.
In the Duggar Family blog, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar extend an invitation for people to attend their grandparenting seminar.
“You’re invited to a free grandparenting conference!”
Tell us that that doesn’t send a chill right down your spine!
“If you’re a grandparent in Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, or Texas, you won’t want to miss this special event on September 16th: The Heart of Grandparenting Conference in our hometown, Springdale, Arkansas.”
Surely the people of Texas have better things to be doing than learning how to grandparent … especially since being a grandparent is usually a no-brainer compared to parenting.
“You will hear about the joys and challenges of grandparenting and how to use your spiritual influence to bless your children and grandchildren.”
First of all, wouldn’t grandparents — the people they’re inviting — already know the joys and challenges of being who and what they are?
Second of all, though, most people of any faith would know how to bless or otherwise pray for their children and grandchildren.
“You’ll hear from grandparenting expert Dr. Ken Canfield as well as Marcheita Anderson, wife of Arkansas basketball coach Mike Anderson.”
From what we’ve looked up, Ken Canfield professes to be an expert on fatherhood, and seems to believe that male children in particular need male role models in their lives.
It’s the next line of their invitation that is the most disturbing, however.
“Michelle and I will also share a few insights that we are learning with eight, going on a hundred plus grandchildren. Hope to see you there!”
Basically, they openly admit that they expect their children to follow in their footsteps.
This isn’t a surprise, just a troubling reminder.
A lot of parents expect grandchildren, even though their children’s decisions about having kids are none of their business.
But expecting to have over 100 children?
Every day, we feel more and more sympathy for the Duggar children.
(Except for Josh)
The event will be free and take place next Saturday.
Some people might wonder what the Duggars are up to if they’re hosting a free event.
(Lots of reality stars, especially the ones with small but very vocal fanbases, use events like this one to cash in on people’s desire to throw money their way)
There’s always a chance that some promotional items like books or merchandise will be promoted at the event.
(Maybe from this Ken Caufield fellow)
For the Duggars, though, this is probably about promoting their beliefs and lifestyle to people like-minded enough to attend.
