BB18: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 27

Hamster watchers ready? Let's get this show going! 

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be constantly updating this entry. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area!

Oh! A recap to start out the show! How exciting! Heh. 

Okay, we pick up after the nominations ceremony. Frank knows James went with the house, but claims James has no backbone. Bridgette is upset because James lied to her. Bridgette cries. She says "freaking" a lot in the Diary Room. She usually uses another F word all the time on the feeds,

Zakiyah, Paul, Nicole and Da'Vonne dance in the storage room.

Frank goes to James and tells him he expected to go on the block, but feels bad about Bridgette. James tells him that his name is in with every fight in the house. Frank claims all kinds of goodness and light. He points towards Da'Vonne. 

Time to pick PoV players! Back to the old method post-Road Kill. They each pull a chip. James gets Michelle. Bridgette picks Da'Vonne. Frank gets Nicole. 

Time for the veto comp. Natalie is hosting -- it's a big festival with water slides, laser beams an OTEV frog. 

James tells us he's throwing the comp so he doesn't get any more blood on his hands. Sure enough, he's out first. Da'Vonne is out next -- she didn't throw it, just couldn't find the right disc. Nicole goes out next. Frank is out. Bridgette doesn't make it.

Michelle wins the Golden Power of Veto!

After the clean-up, Frank goes to Michelle. He tells her the fans like big moves, house flips, veto used. She's not acting receptive. She tells him if he throws Bridgette under the bus, she'll use it. He won't do it. He tells her that Bridgette is the most loyal persona in the house. She likes him and had wanted to work with him. She tells him it's the house. He says flip it.

The rest all invade the room to break up the talk. 

Paul confronts Frank.  

James calls a house meeting. It includes the nominees. Paul starts leading the talk. Frank says he wants it used and Da'Vonne go up. Da'Vonne says it won't be used.  Paulie tells Frank the numbers aren't on his side and stop looking like an idiot. Frank thanks Da'Vonne and Paulie for having a backbone and leaves the room.

Bridgette tries to connect with Michelle. She feels attacked by Michelle. Michelle tells her roughly that she (Bridgette) stole Frank from her.  

Veto meeting time! She gives them a chance to make a plea.
Bridgette - Nice, respect, do best for your game.
Frank - Why waste my breath?

Michelle does not use the Power of Veto. Bridgette and Frank remain on the block.

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - July 27

Just messin' with nails while worlds collide

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of A'lying Alliances:

• The most interesting developments of the night came in the morning here on the East Coast.
• Y'see, Frank has been playing the "dead man walking" card with Bridgette, telling her that he's not campaigning to stay, knows he's targeted and all.
• Yet, he has been talking to people trying to scramble to stay.
• Well, Da'Vonne and Zakiyah told Bridgette some of the reasons they want him gone, including the butt-slapping incidents.
• It turns out that Bridgette had no clue exactly what that was all about, nor how angry people were about it.
• Frank had told her people were just trying to make him look bad.
• And she believed him.
• Just as she believed that he would never campaign to stay at her expense.
• She feels betrayed and hurt by him.
• That's just what they want.
• Paul had an extended talk with Frank, telling him that he (Frank) belittles him and makes people feel uncomfortable.
• Frank denied all and said that he never said Bridgette was ready to go home.
• Practically everybody (except Michelle, who's scared) has visited poor little Bridgette to offer her support.
• It looks like the latest has sealed the deal -- Frank might be going unanimously tomorrow night.
• As I type this up, Paulie is talking to Frank. He told him that everybody is hovering around Bridgette and she feels he (Frank) has been campaigning against her.
• He calls Frank a "legend" and "my bro." 
• Frank keeps telling him that he's not worried about it. The Bridgette being upset at him? His going home? What's IT, Frank?
• Now that I think of it, Paulie hasn't really been involved in the consoling Bridgette times. He came in, listened for a bit and left.
• Paulie has been adamant all along about not liking Bridgette.
• Huh.
• Maybe there will be one vote for Frank to stay.
• Then again, he could be blowing smoke.
• Too bad Frank doesn't have mist or he could stay in the game.
• Frank says the Diary Room makes him feel like ____ because he hasn't been trying for votes.
• The saga goes on ...

Paulie needs to keep that bandana on.

Frank's been lying to me?!?!?!

You belittle me, Frank. (Someone has to.)

I'm waiting for them to turn on each other

A happy Day ... for now

BB18: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - July 26

But can he win a comp not thrown to him?

Here's the latest from that Big Brother House of Melancholy Mice:

• After the rush of excitement with the clues, secret room and envelopes, today was the calm after the storm.
• Sure, none of them trust each other.
• Sure, some of them even strongly dislike each other.
• But, it generally wasn't a day for kerfuffles.
• Da'Vonne tried to pump Michelle wondering if there's been any talk of flipping the vote.
• "The vote" would be the plan to evict Frank.
• They all sat around talking about each other, most of it in the negative.
• James got his HoH digital camera. You know the next line ...
• ... And fun was had by all.
• Although Victor has been playing a bit better by laying low, he's irking them all with his eating habits. The ice cream is almost gone. He made like five pizzas one day. And, the dude just eats too much and cooks too much.
• Paul the Recruit who watched a part of one season before going in the house, thinks Natalie has no clue about the game and contributes nothing to the house. He wants her out.
• @@
• Paul thinks Victor is dumb for sharing the code to get in the room with Nicole and others.
• Paul thinks he's the greatest thing to ever grace us with his presence.
• Just ask him. As a matter of fact, he'd be willing to share that information without being asked!
• Zakiyah told Nicole that Da'Vonne's been opening up to her a bit more, but she still doesn't really trust her. (They had a falling out last week or so.)
• They explored more around the secret room, but the envelopes were the only treasure to be found.
• BB wised up and blocked the code from working so they can't hang out in there.
• That's about it for now. Lots of small non-game talk or repeated already fantasized dreams of HoH and who needs to go home.

Frank hasn't given shout-outs to his girl lately

Not being a Zany Zakiyah

What is with the fake eyeglasses every season?

BB18: Live Feeds into Tuesday Morning - July 26

I did have hopes for her ... no more

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Lackadaisical Louts:

• As I mentioned in my last update -- Michelle did not use the veto and they all (I think) have envelopes from the secret room. ONE of the envelopes contain a RETURN TRIP TICKET which will allow the bearer immediately back in the house if evicted. They aren't allowed to open the envelopes until evicted. Paul was the first one to figure out the clues.
• Bridgette can't convince Michelle that she didn't say something about shaving her eyebrows off while she slept. She can't convince her because she can't convince herself. She thinks it's possible she said it.
• So, Bridgette thinks all the girls bully her.
• Nicole's playing both sides is catching up to her between Da'Vonne and Frank planting seeds that she can't be trusted.
• She continues to cling onto Corey like he's some sort of lifeline. 
• The latest is that she's all upset that Corey didn't give her the code to get into the secret room and she had to figure it out for herself. (Actually, Victor helped her.)
• @@
• Why oh why did she get involved in a showmance?
• You can tell that Corey does care for her as a person. But there's nothing really much more to it. It won't last a week outside the house.
• The conspiracy theorists will have their day until Thursday ... beyond if Frank has the return trip ticket. Even Paulie is theorizing that BB will swap envelopes with Frank so he stays.
• Bridgette cried.
• Michelle cried.
• Oh, save your drama for your Mama, sunshines!
• Well, maybe not your Mama Day. She would easily turn it around to use it against you.
• Speaking of Da'Vonne, Paulie is a bit worried that things he's said to her will be used against him.
• Michelle cried and cried. And cried. Bridgette won't accept her apology. She really likes Frank and has done him wrong. She's being portrayed badly. And on and on.
• Poor Michelle. She's the superfan who should have known what she's getting into, right?
• By being the first to figure out the code to the room, Paul now thinks he's even more all that and a bag of chips. His ego diminishes his beard.
• Zakiyah thinks that Nicole is becoming more distant with her, as is Paulie. She tells Da'Vonne this. Hmm.
• There are all kinds of bad feelings due to the room. Many were asleep when the clue came over the screen about it. They're mad because the ones seeing it didn't wake them up. Others are mad because people wouldn't just give them the code.
• @@
• Michelle thinks that Victor is one who wants to be in control. It seems to me many of them want to be in control -- Frank, Paulie, Paul, Da'Vonne.
• Nicole and Corey made up. For now.
• Bridgette and Michelle, not so much.
• It does look like it will still be Frank walking out the door Thursday.
• But ... as Stephen King said, sometimes they come back.
• Heh, heh.

Are the eyebrows still there? Peek, peek.

Likes to be in charge

Still a target, but playing much wiser

Apparently, I'm an a______. Well, yeah!

BB18: Live Feeds into Monday Evening - July 25

How I feel right about now

Here's the latest from inside the Big Brother House of Crashing Cards:

• Michelle and Bridgette talks, ostensibly to smooth things out.
• That didn't go so well.
• It became heated words about how Bridgette was scared of Tiffany, how Michelle leaves the room when Bridgette enters and ... Eyebrow-Gate.
• I never really caught the start of that on the feeds. Either Bridgette or Tiffany said they were going to shave Michelle's eyebrows while she was sleeping.
• Michelle says it was Bridgette.
• Bridgette says it was Tiffany.
• It kept going on to the point where Bridgette started yelling, "Why do you hate me, Michelle?!?!?!"
• @@
• Bridgette told Michelle "everybody" was talking about her (Michelle's) appearance.
• Things were no better between them, probably a bit worse, by the time the kerfuffle frizzled out.
• With Bridgette going off a bit, Natalie is worried that she might say things about her.
• Then Da'Vonne had to get all caught up in it, telling things Bridgette has said.
• Gah. 
• When the feeds returned after the veto ceremony, there were no surprises.
• Michelle did NOT use the veto. Frank and Bridgette remain on the block.
• Frank is sure he's the one who will be voted out.
• He told Bridgette, if she wins HoH, nominate Nicole and James.
• What? No Da'Vonne who has been his target for a few weeks now?
• Nope. They made up.
• Now Da'Vonne is on the Oust Nicole Train with Frank, bad-mouthing Nicole.
• Though, they're right -- she's been playing both sides of the house. And, she's a bad liar and can't cover her tracks well.
• James told Paulie that Bridgette (it came from Frank originally) said Nicole is "flip-floppy." Paulie thinks that originally came from Da'Vonne.
• James warns the Pauls (Paul and Paulie) to watch their backs around Da'Vonne.
• Everybody needs to watch their back around Da'Vonne, I say!
• Since these hamsters aren't smart enough to really examine all the travel stuff, BB had to make an announcement on the video screen that clues are all around them.
• Yeah, that's for the secret room.
• Paul figured out the clues first.
• It has to do with dialing numbers on the phones, getting a message and going through a red tunnel to a room.
• Once there, he got a card. It tells him that there are 12 envelopes, more than one person can enter the room. In ONE envelope, there's a special prize.
• It's a RETURN TRIP TICKET. If voted out, he/she can come right back in!
• The envelope holders cannot open their envelopes until evicted.
• It took a while, but I think everybody got one.
• Da'Vonne commented, "Figures. The week Frank is set to go home."
• Let the conspiracy theorists start in now.
• We won't know until we know. If memory serves, the envelopes are only good for the next four evictions.

"You can't trust Nicole."

Yard time

James warns Pauls to watch their backs

Hard to tell where beard ends, tattoo begins

BB18: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - July 25

Nicorette

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap:

• They made up for sleeping all day Sunday by being awake all night!
• Frank kept campaigning for the veto to be used, Da'Vonne to go up and out in either his or Bridgette's place on the block.
• His bubble got crushed, though.
• And, Paul did it. 
• The feeds were actually interesting, for the first time in days!
• It was same old, same old ... until Paul.
• What did the bearded boy do?
• Well, he called a house meeting which had almost everybody in attendance.
• He claimed that he can't understand why people can't just be honest and let Frank know that the veto won't be used and Frank will be the one going home this week.
• A hush fell over the crowd.
• First, Da'Vonne spoke up to Frank.
• They talked back and forth and ... guess what? They're not really enemies.
• Finally, Paulie chimed in and agreed with what Paul said about Frank going home this week.
• Frank now understands there is no point in trying to campaign and get folks on the Oust Da'Vonne Train this week and thus driving himself crazy.
• He's bummed.
• Bridgette cries.
• This will mean that she's going to be in jury with all those MEAN girls!
• Before the meeting, she was trying to campaign for the Oust Da'Vonne Train.
• Later, Frank told Zakiyah that he hopes Da'Vonne believes what he told her about Nicole during the HoH comp.
• He says he had his only final two deal with Nicole, but now he knows she's a snake.
• Zakiyah is pretty much playing dumb to all of this as if she had no part in any conversations with anyone whatsoever.
• Bridgette, in addition to using the F word every other word, is also into the uneducated "you know what I'm sayin", "you know what I mean" phrases in between the cussing. Does she have some kind of street people background we don't know about?
• It all seems so incongruous coming from the Cabbage Patch Kid. (Gosh, I wish I had come up with that descriptor for her!)
• Oh, they did get the yard back.
• Paul claims that he was tired of watching both Frank and Da'Vonne getting hurt and going through such hassles when it could all be laid out on the table. 
• In a way, he's right.
• But, that said, I don't think Frank is just going to sit and take it.
• He's already bad-mouthing Nicole.
• As I type this, a group is in the storage room -- Michelle, Paulie, Paul and Zakiyah -- and Zakiyah is making Paulie's weird haircut weirder by parting the fluff in the middle and putting pins to hold it. Ew. I can't bring myself to screen cap it.
• That's it for now!

Fridgette

Oh my. What have I done?

No one would vote me out ... this week

You know what I'm sayin', you know what I mean?

So far, much better in the game

I called this meeting!

BB18: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - July 24

Quad cam - 1pm their time

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wicked Ways:

• Gah, they slept most of the day!
• BB TRIED to wake them up early.
• Some had stayed up, made breakfast, ate and then it was back to bed.
• Bridgette claims she'd rather go home than be stuck in jury with the girls.
• Da'Vonne has been trying to get closer to Michelle than she has been all summer so far.
• BB once again, around 1:30pm their time, tried to get them all up and moving.
• They're still on indoor lockdown as the yard is put back to normal.
• Well, as normal as anything in that house can be!
• Nicole warned James that Frank wants him to have Michelle use the veto and put Da'Vonne on the block.
• Well, duh.
• I think he realizes that.
• Nicole told Michelle that Frank told her that he had talked to her (Michelle) and she would use the veto.
• Michelle denies it ... vehemently.
• Frank told James that everybody is down with voting out Da'Vonne.
• James remains noncommittal -- he'll go with whatever the house wants.
• Now, of course, that also means he's down with everybody wanting Frank or Bridgette out.
• Obviously, he doesn't hold the veto, nor does he have a vote. He's done his part. He put them on the block. It's up to them now.
• James told Da'Vonne once again that he won't put her on the block.
• Bridgette continues to think the girls are bullying her.
• Zakiyah tried to tell her otherwise.
• It's actually kind of hard to bully someone who either avoids them or exiles herself with Frank.
• As of right now, it doesn't look like Michelle will use the veto.
• But, it's going back and forth which one goes between Bridgette and Frank.
• It's leaning towards Frank, but it could go either way.

Quad cam - 3pm their time

I'm tired of Frank!

Talks way too much

At least Corey's hair is quasi-normal

Frank isn't always frank about things.

BB18: HoH Comp, Nominations Show Blog Party - July 24

Hamster watchers ready? Let's get this show going! 

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be constantly updating this entry. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area!

Of course, a mandatory recap is first. 

We pick it up with Victor's entrance. Paulie is worried because he can't compete in HoH and he's the HoH who got Victor out. Frank already snags Victor for his camp. Tiffany had told Victor to trust him. Paul eavesdrops a bit, then scurries away. Paul tells Paulie that he will make sure he (Paulie) isn't Victor's target.

HOH comp time! There's like a giant chessboard with patches of balls. Watch Your DubStep. They have to hold a hand in the air with a glowing wristband while jumping over a glowing moving cable. 

Paul is out first. Nicole is out, long after Paul, though. Zakiyah is out, Michelle is out, Corey is out, Victor is out. Frank is out. Natalie is out. James wants to deal. It's Da'Vonne, Bridgette and him. Frank tries to deal with Da'Vonne that Bridgette wouldn't put her up if she wins. He tells her Nicole said she wanted to send him home before Victor. She doesn't drop. She wants Bridgette to drop first.

Da'Vonne tells all what Frank said. Nicole denies it. Da'Vonne says she hasn't mentioned Victor to anyone. Both Bridgette and James drop after James says, "I won't put you on the block." James is HoH. 

Da'Vonne is good with Nicole ... on the surface. But that doesn't mean she trusts her completely. Nicole vows to us that she'll never trust Frank again.

Paul convinces James and Corey that Victor will work with them against Frank and Bridgette. Frank thinks he and Bridgette have a deal with James to stay safe. James says he kind of wants to keep the deal, but if the house wants otherwise ...

Everyone (except Frank and Bridgette) want James to put Frank and Bridgette up. Natalie is upset because he gave them his word. He explained to her that sometimes you have to break your word for the good of your own game. 

Time for nominations! Bridgette and Frank. Bridgette, collateral damage, hope you get off the block. Frank, always in the middle of the madness.

BB18:Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - July 24

Victor's new look

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Sunken Ships:

• If you missed the post I made late last night, go read it.
• If you don't want to read it, I'll tell you ... Michelle won the Power of Veto and it was the OTEV veto comp.
• She was telling the cameras not long after the feeds returned that she will not be using it to save anyone.
• She wants the nominations to remain the same.
• Frank just can't understand why everybody in the house is so against Bridgette, the nicest and sweetest girl in the house.
• Maybe it's the profanity she uses every other word?
• I know that's why I don't care for her. That, the cutesy act and the latching onto Frank when she claims she has such a great boyfriend at home.
• Paulie thought Michelle was a bit too gloating after winning PoV.
• She did keep the veto paint mess and necklace on for a long time.
• But not as long as Paul did.
• Bridgette and Frank are SO not happy.
• Poor babies.
• They realize that Michelle probably won't change the nominations and that one or the other of them will go home.
• James ticked Frank off by saying it's only a game.
• Frank acted like all he was interested in is the welfare of Bridgette after he goes home.
• Bridgette cries.
• Frank doesn't.
• It turns out that James threw the veto to Michelle.
• He didn't want to be in the position where Frank would be at him to use it ... for either of them.
• Although they had heard drilling, perhaps when locked in HoH, and they talked about the doors in the HoH room, no one is looking for any clues or the secret room.
• Paulie, dead set on getting Tiffany out instead of Da'Vonne last week, now wants Da'Vonne out. 
• He told Corey that they have Paul and Victor to do their dirty work for them in getting others out.
• Da'Vonne thinks they need to get Frank out.
• Frank wants Michelle to use the veto and have Da'Vonne up as a replacement.
• And on it goes.
• Frank tried to talk to Michelle alone, but they kept getting invaded by others.
• Well, they don't want Frank talking to her alone!
• Bridgette continues to make friends and influence people ... not.
• She lit into Zakiyah, calling her a mean girl.
• These hamsters remind me of 5th graders.
• But 5th graders probably don't cuss as much.

She needs a new vocabulary

Off Topic: That Was the Week It Was - July 24, 2016

Good morning! Since it's Sunday morning, it's time for my weekly off television topic reflection on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken along the way. If you're here for Big Brother news, everything I have for you can be found at this link. I'll be posting another live feeds report later this morning and tonight as well as live-blogging the aired show. But this ain't that. This post is a year-round regular "feature" while Big Brother is a summer obsession. Or, something like that.

I don't have much to report this week. Another week of going back and forth to work and covering BB18 here on the blog. We're in another heat wave here. I made it to the train station and waited for my (delayed) train yesterday when I suddenly got sick -- nauseous, dizzy, etc. I'm thinking it was heat exhaustion. I ended up taking a taxi back home. I slept on and off all day yesterday and feel better today. But I haven't been outside. This whole week sounds like it's going to be heat wave city. I'm not happy.

But I'm happy I'm in here and my air conditioning works just fine!

Onto the photos I took this past week. Clicking on an image will open a larger version.

I'd like a mimosa, please

Um. I was talking the drink, not the flower! Berckman Street, Plainfield.

Monday's full moon

Easter Cicada Killer Wasp

These are so cool! A good part of the coolness is that they have no stinger (male) and pose no threat to me. Bridgewater Train Station.

Flower of the hour peak time

These flowers are fascinating me! Have I mentioned how easily I can get fascinated with nature? For most of the day, they look like a patch of weeds and then, for about an hour daily, the blossoms come out. Bridgewater Train Station. I have another series on them after the jump.

BB18: Live Feeds Late into Saturday Night, PoV - July 23

Will he rule the veto?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Harried Hamsters:

• It seems like they spent most of Saturday waiting around chomping at the bit to play for the Power of Veto.
• Well, a lot of napping went on, as well.
• They slept in a bit, too.
• The consensus seemed that most would vote Bridgette out over Frank if the nominations remained the same.
• Of course, that doesn't have James sitting too pretty with his little lady Natalie.
• It seems he promised Bridgette safety during the HoH endurance comp.
• And, Bridgette is Natalie's buddy although not necessarily James's buddy.
• James thought he was making nominations "the house" wanted. 
• Natalie told Bridgette that she's in this position because she never tried to bond with the girls.
• Well, she did. The only problem was that the girls she bonded with were named Bronte and Natalie. Then, on the male side, she pretty much just bonded with Frank.
• James apologized to Bridgette for putting her on the block. He told her that everybody was telling him that he needed to put them (as a couple) on the block and he was tired and conflicted.
• He also pointed out that Frank running her game and treating her like personal property have turned others against her.
• They hugged.
• She's still on the block. She still might go home. Naturally, they'll fake hug then, too.
• Bridgette thinks that the girls don't like her because they're jealous of her career, home, looks, and boyfriend.
• Oh, yeah. She's got that boyfriend.
• And, she has Frank, too.
• Bridgette told Natalie that Nicole is playing both sides of the house.
• She also let her in on the Fatal Five and other information leaked by Tiffany.
• Natalie told her that she has her back, but she doesn't talk game with Frank and isn't working with him.
• When the feeds returned after the PoV players pick, the additional players are Nicole, Michelle and Da'Vonne.
• It's back to randomly picking out a chip from the bag. Uh-oh. Bridgette picked Da'Vonne. You can tell that one isn't Houseguest's Choice!
• "The House" seems to think that, even if one of them -- Frank or Bridgette -- come off the block, it doesn't matter the replacement, per se. The one remaining on the block will go out the door.
• Victor says it's much easier returning to the house.
• Nicole told him it's because Jozea is gone. 
• Of course, Jozea went before Victor did, but his presence still lingered at that time like a cheap perfume.
• I said that, not Nicole.
• They think the comp is going to be the one with prizes and punishments.
• I hope it's something new and different.
• James told Nicole she wouldn't be a replacement nominee. She asked him. He didn't just volunteer the info.
• He also told Bridgette she wouldn't be going on the block.
• Hmm.
• Lots of speculation as to who would put up whom if they won HoH, as usual.
• The feeds got blocked late and have been blocked for hours.
• But, finally ... we have a PoV winner and the feeds are live once again.
• MICHELLE won PoV. 
• It was the OTEV comp and, as Nicole pointed out, all four vets played.

Does he realize how bad that hair looks?

Oh, Nicole, you need to step it up

Better a silly hat than a silly haircut

Zakiyah sans Paulie

Michelle and her PoV necklace

BB18: Live Feeds into Saturday Morning - July 23

I'm b-a-a-a-a-a-c-k!!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of a Recent Returnee:

• If you missed my prior announcement: James is HoH. He nominated Frank and Bridgette.
• They seem to think that Victor has changed a lot in the last two weeks.
• "He's a different person! He's so nice!"
• Hmm. Give it time.
• Bridgette tried to convince Victor that she's been absolutely a sweetheart in the house and everybody has treated her horribly.
• @@
• Now, we need to remember that two people gave Victor advice during the Battle Back -- Bronte told him they all hated him and not to trust any. Tiffany told him to trust Frank.
• Frank, but of course, trusts Bridgette. Will Victor fall in with them?
• Da'Vonne thinks that James is going to have Pandora's Box in his HoH reign.
• If he does, Nicole wants him to be the first HoH not to use it.
• If there was one, I can't see any HoH not using it.
• But, I don't think this secret room stuff is quite a Pandora's Box. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
• Somehow, Paulie seems to be on Frank's little team now. Oh, not an official team -- they're gone. In his camp, so to speak. I'm not sure what happened there.
• Although Paulie claims that Zakiyah is the hottest girl in the house and he really likes her, he'll cut her from the game in a minute if he has to.
• Frank thinks he will win PoV (and that's always a strong possibility), so he and Paulie are trying to see what votes they might gather to oust Da'Vonne as a renom.
• If it came down to it, Paulie would rather Frank stay than Bridgette.
• Yep, alpha boys wanna stay together!
• Paul said he wouldn't save either Frank or Bridgette if he wins PoV.
• We don't know who's playing for PoV yet other than the HoH and nominees, mind you.
• Ah, Frank told Paulie that he's in his final three plan along with Bridgette.
• I have a bridge to sell to you, Paulie. The warm fuzzies of these few days aren't going to last.
• Paulie wants Da'Vonne targeted because she's "still saying my name" with the couples targeting. 
• Natalie told James that she thinks several people threw the HoH just in order to not get blood on their hands.
• Probably.
• She also told him that Frank was now in with Paulie as if he never put him on the block.
• Being a Bridgette buddy, she thinks James should have nominated Frank and Victor. 
• If Frank were to go home, she would have Bridgette back to herself, I say.
• James said he might put Victor on the block if someone is saved with the PoV.
• Natalie told James he had promised not to put Bridgette up and claims Paulie pressured him to do so.
• She doesn't trust Paulie.
• I don't think James trusts anybody.
• As it should be ...
• Natalie went on and on to James about Paulie playing both sides of the house.
• She is right there.
• James said that his nominations were "what the house wanted."
• Oh, James. I remember when you were willing to shake things up!
• He doesn't regret putting Frank up, but is now feeling bad about nominating Bridgette.
• Eventually Natalie said that she knows people want Frank/Bridgette out and they're probably decent nominations.
• Even if James did promise Bridgette he wouldn't put her on the block.
• From what was said, the HoH comp was one of the ones with a wall and them hanging on.
• It seems, as of now, out of the two nominees, more want Bridgette out than Frank.
• Hmm.

His haircut by Paul is incredibly stupid!

Not pleased that James put Bridgette up

Maybe it's just me, but that looks disgusting

Whazzat on her shoulder?

Doesn't seem like a happy HoH
