‘Big Brother’ Season 19 Spoilers: How Does The ‘Temptation Competition’ Twist Work?

“Big Brother” Season 19 houseguest Paul Abrahamian has been controlling the house for the past couple of weeks, and he has also been named as this week’s Head of Household (HoH).

This means that Paul won’t be going anywhere at least for another week, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s not putting targets on his back. After his plan to backdoor Jessica Graf worked, Ramses Soto was sent home instead of Josh Martinez. But what the latter and the rest of the houseguests don’t realize is that Paul is just manipulating them to do his dirty work for him.

After this week’s HOH competition, “Big Brother” host Julie Chen asked the houseguests to gather in the living room. Chen asked Jessica how she feels that Ramses was sent home instead of Josh. To everyone’s surprise, Jessica blurted out that she has the third “Den of Temptation.” She also said that she and Cody Nickson will be safe for a couple of weeks.

Jessica’s big reveal could make Paul rethink his nominations this week. Since he already knows that Jessica and Cody couldn’t be sent home, the returning vet will shake up the house by possibly nominating Mark Jansen and Elena Davies. If Paul nominates the showmance, Jessica will certainly not use the “Halting Hex” this week since she is reserving it for her and Cody.

But there’s another twist in the game that could finally put an end to Paul’s game. The “Temptation Competition” is the curse unleashed by Jessica after she accepted the “Halting Hex.” The twist will see the houseguests being tempted to participate in a particular challenge for the next three weeks.

The houseguests will also have the opportunity to choose whether or not they want to participate in the game. Whoever wins will be safe for the week, but the one that finishes last will be automatically named as a third nominee. According to Chen, the first “Temptation Competition” will take place on Sunday, July 30 and will happen right before the nomination ceremony.

“Big Brother” Season 19 airs Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. EDT on CBS.
