BB18: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - July 3

Why am I here again?

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

• I've decided I couldn't have a bed like the one in HoH with the fishtank above the headboard. I'd sit and watch the fish all night instead of sleeping.
• Sundays are rather lazy in the BB house.
• BB let them sleep in.
• I've noticed this crowd, although several stayed up late last night, aren't huge stay up until dawn types.
• Paul says he smokes, but I haven't seen anyone smoke in this crew.
• James says he wants some of the "blame" for putting Victor on the block when they do the PoV meeting.
• I think it's more like he wants some of the "credit" for doing it. After all, they did nearly come to blows.
• Paulie and some of the 8-Packers are very leery of Bridgette. Frank seems to be the only one who actually trusts her.
• They were once again allowed into the backyard.
• Just judging on the various workouts, it's Paulie who's the best fit in the house.
• Frank and Da'Vonne really want Tiffany out (and Paulie in the 8-Pack as the replacement).
• While Tiffany is on the block as the Road Kill nominee, it's not likely this will be the week they make the move. It should be a Backdoor Victor.
• There was some excitement when a banner plane flew by reading, "Will you marry me?" Chances are very high it had absolutely nothing to do with BB.
• Frank started the rumor that it read, "Will you marry me, Z?"
• Heh.
• Michelle cried over something, maybe stress. James consoled her. He's good at that.
• Frank doesn't want Corey to win HoH for a few weeks so they can get Tiffany out.
• Hmm.
• Bronte's on the block this week. But she's more likely to be a target next week ... if some people have their way.
• A whole lotta nothing going on.
• No PoV meeting as of this writing.
• So, Victor still thinks he's in it to win it.

Mingling

My inside upper arm is too sensitive for that

Humma, humma Paulie!

Is there really an attraction?

BB18: HoH Reveal, Nominations Episode Blog Party - July 3

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! Come join in on the fun!

Gee, a quick recap for a change! They must have a lot of stuff to cram into the hour-long episode. 

The HoH comp continuation um ... continues. Frank wants Victor to think he and Paulie want to work with him. But, in reality, he wants Victor out of there this week. Paul thinks Da'Vonne and Zakiyah are moving too slow. Tiffany deliberately comes down because she thinks Corey can go faster without her. Freakazoids out of the game. James sneaky throws it because he wants another team to win. Frank says they're handing it to Paulie.

Yep, Paulie is the new HoH!

Oh, geez ... Victor, in the DR, is almost to tears about Jozea being voted out. However, Paul realizes that he's going to have to work to repair his "image" with the rest of the house. James wants Victor and Bronte on the block. He advises Natalie to keep her cool.

Victor, who blatantly wanted Paulie voted out last week, tries to influence Paulie that the girls need to go. Well, not Bronte. He wants Bronte to stay. 

Meanwhile, Paulie wants to get closer to Paul, even to the point of using him as a pawn on the block. He wants Paulie to betray Victor. And, Paul sees through it and believes he just might have to go along with Paulie's plan to get Victor out of the house. 

We're into a James flirting segment. Cute. 

Time for nominations! Paulie nominates Paul, then Bronte. Paul, wasn't sure where you're at, Bronte the same. Both part of the situation where someone was coming after him.

He tells us that he wants to backdoor Victor. 

Bronte no longer trusts any of the boys. Paul knew it was coming. He says the better beard will win. 

BB ROAD KILL time! Returning souvenirs, six items which add up exactly 18 dollars. Apparently, they don't have to figure in tax!  

The secret reveal of the winner was done through tackle boxes once again. Victor is the winner of Road Kill!

So, what does Victor do? He runs and tells Paulie and then Frank! Silly boy. He thinks he's showing Frank and Paulie he can work with them. He tells Paul and Paul advises him not to tell anyone else. Victor knows better, though. Did I say Silly Boy? I meant it. Victor asks Paulie who should go up.

The Road Kill nominee is ... TIFFANY.

Backdoor Victor plan still in motion.

BB18: Live Feeds Overnight into Sunday - July 3

Beauty fades; obnoxious might be forever

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of The Ants Come Marching In:

• I don't have a heck of a lot for you.
• As I mentioned in the last update, Paulie won the Power of Veto, thus his plan should go down as planned.
• What was that plan?
• Backdoor Victor, of course.
• Earlier he thought he'd warn Victor just before the ceremony.
• Now he thinks he probably won't.
• He sincerely wants what will make it easiest for the rest of the house.
• Victor has a temper. 
• As of right now, Victor doesn't have a clue. He doesn't even know what a backdoor is.
• Well, he probably knows what one in a house is. But we're talking a backdoor plan as in reference to Big Brother!
• Paulie plans to take Paul off the block and replace him with Victor.
• Lots of small talk.
• They've been in indoor lockdown overnight due to clean up from the PoV comp.
• It was a messy spelling a word comp. Technotronics!
• Ah, well. Even though a group stayed up really really late (for a change), it was mostly small talk. Frank, Zakiyah and Paulie talked about how unrealistic it is for Jozea and Victor to think the show will bring Hollywood knocking at their doors.

Talk about under the radar ...

It was a messy PoV comp

Off Topic: That Was the Week It Was - July 3, 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 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'm finally on a staycation, my last one until September. From what I can see, a heat wave is due to be taking up a good half of my week. Grr. I'm not a summer person unless we're talking staying inside with air conditioning. That's what I'll probably do for a lot of the week. I have the BB live feeds, some other summer TV shows, a couple of new books to read and plenty of diversions.

My three and a half day work week this past week seemed to last a good ten days. I believe I'm actually pining for the day I can finally retire. Yeah, you heard me ... pining.

About the only good thing work-wise which happened this past week is that I received my catalog to choose my recognition award. Every five years of employment at the company gets to choose an award. Since I'm up there in years, I have some pretty decent choices. The last time (five years ago), I got a flat-screen LED television. This year, if I had a car, I'd be tempted by the cool kayak. If I had a lawn, I'd be tempted by a very nice charbroil gas grill or the smoker/grill/roaster one. There are a few cameras catching my attention, a larger HDTV set, a home entertainment system, a quality cookware set ... oh, decisions, decisions. Several watches and pieces of jewelry are in the catalog, but they're really not my thing.

Onto the photos I took this week:

Little green apples

I took trash out to the dumpster in the back of my apartment building's parking lot. I happened to notice a small half-eaten green apple on the ground. I looked up and saw the apple-eater with another one in his paws.

Flower of an hour

Thanks to Bernice, I now know what these beautiful flowers which are usually closed are! You can tell that they're a hibiscus type flower. These just sprouted up like weeds near the Bridgewater Train Station. After the jump, I have a photo of the plant itself.

My town (Plainfield, NJ) had its 93rd Annual 4th of July Parade yesterday.  If you want to check out the photos I took or the "story" below won't work for you, the actual slideshow on my Photobucket account can be found at this link. The link to the album is right here. It was great to see all the children from the city schools involved this year! While the Plainfield HS Marching Band is usually in attendance, the younger kids got involved with their Drama Club (do they still call it that?) doings.

BB18: Live Feeds into Saturday Evening, PoV Winner - July 2

Sloppy berries

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wayward Boys and Girls:

• BB woke them up and had them all gather in the kitchen.
• Aha! Bowls of slop and berries filled the table.
• Paulie had to read a statement, "Do I read this now?"
• Since the Big Sister team did the worst in the HoH comp, they're the Have Nots this week.
• That would be Paul, Zakiyah and Da'Vonne.
• They picked the players for PoV -- in addition to Paulie, Paul, Bronte and Tiffany, it will be Da'Vonne and Zakiyah playing.
• Frank is still pushing to get Paulie in their alliance and Tiffany out.
• One of his reasons is that she's close with Natalie and Bronte.
• Wasn't it FRANK who hinted to Natalie that Jozea would be voted out and thus spoiled a perfect blindside?
• Hmm.
• Meanwhile, a rift is developing between Frank and Da'Vonne. Da'Vonne says that Frank called her a "slut," supposedly joking but it still went too far. I personally didn't hear that one. 
• Anyway, both Da'Vonne and Zakiyah now want Frank out before jury.
• Da'Vonne is upset about the latest happening because she had been thinking a great final three would be herself, Zakiyah and Frank.
• Oh, well.
• When Nicole came upon Zakiyah and Da'Vonne, the conversation changed. I guess it's not in Da'Vonne's plans to even think of Nicole in her final three scenario?
• Da'Vonne told Nicole that, if she wins PoV, her plan is to take Paul down so Paulie can put Victor on the block.
• Frank and Paulie are a bit worried about the "girl thing" going on in the house.
• Much of today was a waiting game, awaiting the PoV comp.
• Paulie told Tiffany that if she wins PoV, she cannot use it to save herself as the goal is to get Victor up and out. Since she's the Road Kill nominee, it's Victor who would name her replacement. She must lose. He guarantees her that she's safe.
• I've been dilly-dallying on this report awaiting the feeds to return as the PoV comp started more than a couple of hours ago.
• I'm running out of things to say that aren't repetitive.
• Gee, it's a beautiful day here on the East Coast. 
• We don't know how the weather is at the BB house because they've been in indoor lockdown.
• I'm really tired of this Jeff clips loop. I used to like the plain old theme music with trivia better. I could minimize it, nap and let the voices wake me up when the feeds came back on.
• Now it's all voices.
• And Bronte's squealing every ten minutes.
• I really don't want to have a separate report just on the PoV winner. 
• I guess I'll stop rambling and quietly wait for the live feeds to come back on.
• Are they on again yet?
• No?
• Okay, Paulie is wearing the PoV necklace!
• PAULIE WON THE POWER OF VETO!
• He has told both Tiffany and Frank that he plans to let Victor know just before the PoV ceremony that he'll be going on the block.

They look so comfortable ... for a toddler

Corey has a friend

I hate watching people play chess

I hope she likes berries

BB18: Live Feeds into Saturday Morning - July 2

He won Road Kill and told everybody

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Boastful Boys:

• The more I see of Victor, even sans Jozea, the more he annoys me. Despite his good looks, he's an obnoxious child who thinks he's all that. He wants to dictate what people do, what they eat, make them work out and derides anyone who's not in tip-top shape.
• He's also not very bright and has no clue about the actual doings of Big Brother.
• Paulie had nominated Bronte and Paul for eviction with a plan to backdoor Victor.
• Victor came along, winning Road Kill. He blabbed it to the house and put Tiffany up as the Road Kill nominee.
• Now, that doesn't really change Paulie's plan to backdoor Victor -- if one of the nominees come off the block, Victor should go up and get Evictored.
• But ... Tiffany has been wearing on some folks in the house, herself. I don't find her as obnoxious as Victor because I guess I don't like his smugness more than I don't like her paranoia.
• She's starting to show some of the worst traits of her sister -- paranoia, emotions, etc.
• Both Frank and Da'Vonne would just as soon she get out of the house.
• Hmm.
• James had figured Victor would put him on the block because of their dust-ups.
• But Frank and Da'Vonne both would like Tiffany out and flip Paulie into the 8-Pack. Hmm.
• Victor might think he's in with them because he's doing their will.
• But he ain't.
• My personal opinion is that if they can get Victor out on a backdoor this week, they should. While he's obviously an idiot about the game, he could be a threat in physical comps. On the other hand, Tiffany isn't a strong player. The only real threat from her is her freaking out and possibly telling Bronte and Natalie stuff she shouldn't be telling. It probably would make the 8-Pack stronger to have Paulie in it rather than her. It should be fairly easy to get her out at any time, though. 
• I guess I just don't know what's best. 
• Of course, Tiffany cried ... again ... and more.
• Paulie claims the target is still Victor. He says that he and Frank have worked to make Paul and Victor feel comfortable.
• I feel this is going to be another long week.

Telling Tiffany she's safe

Almost as good as TV, it's FISH!

Natalie and Bronte still tight

James mingles well with the girls

BB18: Live Feeds into Friday Evening - July 1

What? A prankless day?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Funky Funsters:

• BB woke them up early this morning.
• Good.
• And we spent most of the day with the live feeds blocked, first for the nominations, then apparently it was Road Kill time.
• Last week we never saw the timing of the Road Kill comp because the schedule was all askew and the first few shows were taped. 
• But, judging on this timing, it's going to cram all the comps -- HoH, Road Kill, PoV all within a few days leaving comparatively extreme down times from Sunday to Thursday for them.
• While the nominations were blocked to the live feeds, the results became known fairly quickly and were no surprise.
• Paul and Bronte are on the block.
• Victor is a back door plan.
• Paul has no clue what a back door plan is. I doubt Victor knows.
• Bronte doesn't think she's the target, but has had fun in the game if she is.
• She's not. She's A target, but not THE target.
• There was a murder in the house ... one of the fish ate another. Gee, I'm glad cats and dogs don't do that. It would be disgusting.
• Gosh. With my feeds minimized to write this up, Tiffany sounds like Vanessa all over again. That voice is the SAME. I know two other sisters who sound that much alike.
• I'm glad my voice doesn't sound like my brother's!
• They were on an indoor lockdown as prep (Road Kill?) was done in the backyard.
• Both Victor and Paul tried to chum it up with Paulie (to no avail).
• Paulie can't believe that they had the gall to act like best buds to him when they actively campaigned to get him out of the house last week.
• Welp, that's Big Brother for you.
• Corey claims to be 6'5" -- I believe him. I always thought Frank was a tall guy and he's a good half-head taller than Frank.
• Then you put them next to James.
• Heehee.
• Hmm ... in Road Kill (blocked to live feeds), it seems Victor won.
• At least, that's the word on the street.
• Both Frank and Corey congratulated him.
• He says he's working with Paulie.
• We'll see about that.
• If he did win, he's stupid to be telling people. At least Frank only told the veterans and it remained secret from the rest of the house.
• In a way, it won't matter if he did indeed win. The third nominee is chosen before PoV. Since it's secret, the Road Kill nominee can be put up on the block to replace a nominee. Road Kill isn't safe.
• As I get this posted, I don't know who was nominated by Road Kill. When I know, you'll know. 

At least it's not a beanie

"Whenever I was ..." It's WHEN, Frank!

Does he even KNOW about a back door?

Everybody's tired. It's been a day.

If I go home, I've had a good time.

BB18: Live Feeds Bulletin - Nominations are in - July 1

Nominations are in. Paulie has nominated Paul and Bronte for eviction. He has a backdoor plan to get Victor evictored ... er, evicted.

A full report on the day's house events will be posted later tonight. Stop on back!

BB18: Live Feeds Report into Friday - July 1

Will his social game save him?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of From Zero to Hero:

• Okay, not really hero.
• But Paulie went from being on the block to winning HoH. It's kinda like that.
• James threw the comp (as they had talked about previously) so that Paulie could win and Victor would be the target.
• Paulie told Zakiyah that one of the people who voted to evict him would be going home this week.
• Let's see ... that would be either Victor or Paul or Bronte or Natalie. 
• Victor told Frank and Paul that he wouldn't be surprised if he goes up on the block.
• Well, duh. He shouldn't be after his Jozea Worship bit so far this season. Man, that guy picked the wrong horse in the race. Jozea's behavior should have turned anyone off from supporting him. In the end, Paul actually had conversations about Jozea going too far and Natalie wasn't entirely in his court. But Bronte and Victor were loyal to their chosen Messiah.
• Cough.
• Frank needs to watch himself a bit. Without Boogie to give him advice, he's straddling the line between both sides a bit too much. It's easy to fall off that tight wire.
• Paulie told Nicole that he knows Bronte and Natalie voted to evict him even though he told them they wouldn't have enough votes to save Josea.
• Paulie said his alliance needs to help decide nominations. But, no matter what, he wants Victor to go home.
• Heehee. Bronte is in a panic. It doesn't take much to get her going. Hey, she made the wrong choice of who to support and now she might have to pay for it. Miss Math Girl should have seen the odds.
• If the HoH decides who the Have Not (Team) is. James offered to go on slop just so Victor would be on it, hopefully weakening him for comps.
• Since Victor is a health food nut, seeing him on slop should be good for a giggle or two, too.
• But they're not sure the criteria for deciding who the Have Nots are for the week -- it could have something to do with the comp standings.
• Paul is pretty sure he will be nominated.
• Oh, that's quite possible. But he's not in as much danger of eviction right now as is Victor.
• Newbie recruit Paul doesn't get the big HoH reveal ceremony doings.
• I never could get excited about them, either. So, he may have a point there!
• Bronte and Victor talked about Da'Vonne and Zakiyah flipping and how shocked they were.
• Hey, those two didn't flip. They were just never with you in the first place, fools!
• Paulie doesn't want James or Frank falling for the wiles of any of the girls.
• Well, I doubt he's talking Nicole!
• Of the Jozea bunch, only Paul knows his downfalls and is willing to talk about them -- even before last night. It makes me wonder why Paul ever hooked up with them in the first place. I think it comes from not knowing BB at all. He thought it was all newbies versus veterans and that's obviously not the main goal. It's winning friends and allies and influencing others.
• Oh, yeah. Jozea influenced others ... to mock him and want him out!
• James said that if Victor confronts him, he'll go ahead and tell him he threw the comp.
• While Bronte panicked about not have a meat thermometer for their salmon, Bridgette lamented that everything they made had meat in it and she can't eat meat.
• Victor told Paul he thinks they could do something like the Brigade. First off, neither saw that season. So they have no clue what it was other than four guys going to the end. Those four all had decent social games. 'Nuff said, kiddies.
• Bridgette warns the guys of colon cancer risks if they put hot dogs in their rice. 
• Yep, she must be a bundle of fun when it comes to meals and snacking!
• Paul tried bonding with Paulie and Corey.
• I don't think it will work. Although Victor is the one Paulie wants out, Paul is his second choice.
• Can't blame him there.

Corey wears that pillow so well

Will her flirtmance with Paulie go on?

Who wants to see my HoH room?

Not going to San Francisco w/flowers in her hair

How will Victor do without his bromance?

BB18: Live Feeds -- HoH Comp -- June 30

As soon as the live feeds go back on, I'll update this with screen caps and the latest news!

10:06 PM ET, we have Jeff and taped bits. Oh, geez, it's make-over bits with Bronte screaming.

10:11 PM ET, still no live feeds, just taped segments with Jeff commentary.

10:16 PM ET and we have Jeff interviewing Glenn:

10:23PM ET - Still clips.

10:30 PM ET - Still clips.

10:40 PM ET - Still clips.

10:47 PM ET - FEEDS RETURN. The comp is over, have to figure out who won.  Oops, back to clips.

Still trying to figure out who won. Paulie said something about any of "them" could go up as long as one goes home. Hmm.

Whoa ... looks like Paulie is HoH! I'll correct that if I'm wrong.

YES! That's the HoH key he's wearing in addition to his mic cord.

PAULIE IS THE NEW HOH.

BB18: Live Eviction/HoH Show Blog Party - June 30

Are we ready for this? It's the first live eviction of the season. Glenn's eviction was neither live, nor a standard voted-on eviction. Producer Allison Grodner promises a special surprise. Although rumors are running rampant, there is no credible source for real information. So, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

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!

Here are the blog pool picks going into tonight's show:

Let's get this show AWN!

Uh-oh. Julie just said that Glenn and tonight's evictee's games are far from over. Gah. And, we're into recap.

Heh, Julie is dissing Jozea in her intro speech.

In the house, Bridgette is worried. Jozea is still smug. His intuition is always right (according to him), so he knows that Paulie is the Road Kill winner. Ha. Victor is naming off people on their side that probably will NOT be voting to keep Jozea. Heehee. Jozea is sure it will be a landslide against Paulie. Jozea even tells Nicole he wants to work with her. She nods a lot but doesn't commit.

The Fatal Five girls alliance is formed - Nicole, Zakiyah, Da'Vonne, Michelle and Tiffany.

James is pranking. He put mayonnaise in the body lotion container.

They're editing the show to look like it could be either Bridgette or Jozea going home.

Victor is getting too controlling of others, Natalie is mad, James is mad.

Finally to the living room to talk to the nominees.
Jozea - Honest, truthful, bold, friendship, loyalty
Paulie - Pleasure to get to know you, hope to continue playing
Bridgette - Hope you keep me, sweet, friendly.

The live votes to evict:
Victor -- Paulie
Zakiyah -- Jozea
Paul -- Paulie
Frank -- Jozea
Onto commercial ...
Da'Vonne -- Jozea
Michelle -- Jozea
Bronte -- Paulie
Natalie -- Paulie
James -- Jozea
Tiffany -- Jozea
Corey -- Jozea

Ding, dong, the witch is dead ... for now.

Despite threats, he made a point of hugging everybody goodbye.

He thinks Natalie turned on him. People were weak-minded and all. He thinks the people just went against him just in the last few days. Heh. In the goodbye messages, Da'Vonne calls him out for the Messiah comment.

Julie tells him he has another chance to get back in the game -- the Battle Back sends one of the first five hamsters back into the house. Similar to the Survivor bit.

HoH comp time! Nicole can't compete, but her team can. Berry Balanced, race across the balance beam relay style, retrieve a berry, get ten to win. Can go longer easier beam or shorter harder one. If one falls, one out, but team keeps playing.

Natalie out.

I'll be setting up a separate live feeds post to cover the overflow of this event and the winners.

BB18: Live Feeds into Thursday - June 30

A subdued Jozea

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Loose Lips:

• They do sink ships, y'know.
• But first ...
• Nicole is all upset because Victor was showing an interest in her, but she thinks he's either using her for strategic reasons or just plain mean.
• Sheesh. She should know not to get hung up on a guy on the show!
• Especially one working the other side. 
• What's wrong with that girl?
• Tiffany is networking the girls a bit. She told Natalie she'll always have her back. Hmm.
• Nicole is all worried that if Victor or Paul win HoH, she'll be the target.
• Well, yeah. That could happen. But that's how the game is played.
• Corey told Nicole that girls always think he's gay because he doesn't take them up on passes. Hmm. Natalie is the latest to tell him she thinks he's gay. Methinks he has some issues going on.
• Bronte told Natalie that Jozea only wants Tiffany in their alliance for the vote and then they'll backstab her.
• Tiffany cried.
• Oh, not at that in particular. It just fit well here in the report and she has spent time crying after saying she wouldn't play an emotional game.
• Tiffany says that Natalie wants to vote with the majority of the house, but she needs to know how the majority of the house will vote.
• Oh my. Do they tell her that her buddy Jozea is going home??!?!!
• Frank thinks Tiffany might need to go next because she can't be trusted.
• He thinks she's trying to make moves.
• And he isn't?
• He's hoping the girls on the other side flip and the vote becomes 9-2.
• Hmm.
• Meanwhile, on the Dark Side, Paul is hating on both James and Michelle. He wants them out ... like yesterday!
• Victor did get a warning from production that he isn't allowed to hit anyone. That apparently was a result of the dust-up with James yesterday. Well, duh.
• I imagine they'd also not be happy if he put excrement in James's bed, another thought he had.
• Jozea thinks James is the one holding the other side together.
• I don't think so. It's more Frank or even Da'Vonne than James, I think.
• The Three Stooges and Stoogette -- Paul, Jozea, Victor and Bronte -- feel they need to target James first before anyone else.
• Paul thinks Nicole likes him.
• I think that Nicole wants to be nice to everybody even if she doesn't like them. But Paul, more so than the other three, can be likable at times. He's playing a better social game than Victor, Bronte or Jozea.
• Bridgette told Natalie that she trusts Frank for now because he's keeping her safe.
• He is? He's taking the credit for that? Oh my.
• Gah! Frank tells Natalie he doesn't want her on the "wrong side" and fills her in on the real house majority.
• He also advises her to throw HoH and she agrees she won't vote him out if he's nominated.
• Yiles! They didn't really need her as a number this vote! Why did he do that? I realize she's been saying all along that she wants to vote with the house majority. But, until now, she thought that was Paulie exiting!
• Now she'll run and break the news to Jozea or tell people who will tell Jozea. I wanted it to be a total blindside.
• Frank, you just ruined my "Good TV."
• Natalie told Frank that she's not stupid and realized the vote was going to keep Paulie.
• But, will she blab?
• Hmm.
• On a sidenote: Heehee, BB has had to tell Paul more than once to move his beard away from his mic.
• Sure enough ... Natalie goes to Victor and Bronte telling them she "has a feeling" that Jozea is going home.
• Thanks, Frank!
• Bronte is sure that Da'Vonne and Zakiyah will vote to keep Jozea.
• I'm sure she's wrong.
• Natalie says she will vote to keep Jozea.
• She, of course, will stick like glue with her new BFF Bronte.
• Bridgette, already with little trust in Frank's group, is getting sucked in even more by Bronte and Natalie. She had been starting to lean away a bit.
