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.

Froot Loop Dingus?

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

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

BB18: Live Feeds Return HoH, Nominations Update - July 23



Just a quick update for now ...
  • James won HoH
  • The nominees are Frank and Bridgette.
  • Pretty interesting, eh?
A full report will be up in the morning!

BB18: Battle Back to BB Special Blog Party - July 22


The Live Feeds will be down until after tonight's Battle Back episode. They should return late tonight at 9pm PT/ 12am ET

Will it be Glenn, Jozea, Victor, Bronte or Tiffany returning?

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!

We first get to see all five get evicted once again. Win or go home in four head to head competitions. 

Glenn takes on Jozea. The comp has them doing an identical one we saw earlier in the season. Balance beam logs, one short tough path, one longer easier, retrieve berries one at a time. They each have a poison berry that they can use to destroy a column of berries of the opponent. 

Heh. Jozea is rushing to prove how great he is and fell, twice. Glenn is going really slow. Now it's raining. Jozea is in the lead. Glenn failed to get Jozea with the poison berry. Jozea successfully got his poison berry in. Jozea wins over Glenn. Glenn has to go home.

Jozea will battle Victor next. Must knock down five face of their opponent targets with tennis balls and huge rackets that work like a trampoline. Victor wins! Jozea is going home. (Yay!)

Victor will battle Bronte next. That should be interesting. Bronte is already annoying on intro to the yard. Ohh ... she tells Victor not a single person in the house likes him (but her). They have monitors with photos of hamsters still in the game and answer six questions. Victor wins!

Victor will battle Tiffany next. The winner of that battle will return to the house. They have glowing wrist and ankle bands. Search through bins for puzzle pieces, listen for clues to complete band's schedule. (Puzzle is a band.) Climbing and suspended kind of thing. Victor wins and makes all kinds of ape noises.

Victor will be returning to the house, Tiffany goes home. She tells him to trust Frank, don't trust Da'Vonne.

Julie tells the hamsters about Battle Back. The doorbell rings. Victor enters, testosterone raging.  

Another twist has clues to a secret room only in play for the next four weeks. Finding the room can change the game of the winner.

Julie says it's been one wild week. (Well, it was for a few days!)

Recap time, of course.

Cody and Vanessa will have a segment to talk about Paulie and Tiffany tonight.

Julie tells us everybody is scrambling. She says they were strategizing until just before the show.

Cut back to after the veto ceremony. We see the infamous braid "whipping" that Tiffany (on the feeds) called an assault. @@

Aw, James and Natalie had a slight kerfuffle. All is good.

Paulie wants Tiffany out. Frank wants Da/Vonne out. Paul's kind of caught in the middle, but thinks Da'Vonne is more of a danger down the road. Tiffany starts telling all the lies that Da'Vonne has said.

Lots of unrest. The edit is leaning towards Da'Vonne going. Da'Vonne tells James that she wants to go after couples. Um ... he's in a couple. Smooth move there, Mama Day! He runs to tell Paulie.

Cody and Vanessa time. Cody thinks Paulie is doing well with comps and his social game. But he warned him not to have a showmance. He thinks he should have aligned with James. He also thinks he could have aligned with Tiffany as a final two. Vanessa thinks that there's a double standard when Paulie and Tiffany are compared. People don't bring up Cody to Paulie. She's glad that Tiffany has stepped up and thinks working with Frank is good for both of them.

Live vote time. The talk with the nominees --
Da'Vonne - Thank God, etc. Love you guys, trust people, thanks in advance.
Natalie - Excited and nervous, best summer of my life, James. Please keep me.
Tiffany - Wild ride. Amazing time, ups and downs, once in a lifetime. Will be loyal.

The votes to evict:
Michelle - Tiffany
Zakiyah - Tiffany
James - Tiffany
Onto commercial ...
Nicole - Tiffany
Frank - Tiffany
Corey - Tiffany
Bridgette - Tiffany
Paul - Tiffany

Unanimous. Tiffany is gone. She handled it well, even Da'Vonne's over the top goodbye message.

Julie tells us that they've been playing in teams and having Road Kill ... all of that is about to change. Gonna shake up the game. (Good!)
 Onto commercial.

A segment with interviews of the first four evicted for Battle Back.

Julie talks to the current hamsters. Teams are ending as of tonight. Road Kill gone, too. Everyone is on their own, two nominees each week. More twists to come and secrets to discover ... goodnight houseguests.

No HoH tonight. Battle Back is tomorrow night. HoH will be announced on air Sunday. BBAD will not air tonight, nor will live feeds.

BB18: Live Feeds Overnight into Thursday - July 21

Will Tiffany still be around after tonight?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Horrors:
  • Frank still wants Da'Vonne out, but seems to have come to the realization that it just might not happen this week. He thinks people would prefer a double eviction and BOTH Tiffany and Da'Vonne gone this week.
  • Although being on the block is a bit nerve wracking no matter what, Natalie is blessed with two huge targets up there with her.
  • It's as if she's not even on the block.
  • I doubt anyone will vote her out.
  • By the way, her and James are all copacetic once again.
  • The late night hours continued to be as exciting as the daytime hours.
  • Yes, that was sarcasm on my part.
  • They all were called individually to the diary room to record goodbye messages. Some of those might be interesting. Once jury happens, we tend to get milder messages. After all, gotta get those jury votes!
  • Nicole thinks one of the beds in the house is cursed because Jozea, then Victor, slept in it.
  • Hey, maybe one will want it back after tomorrow!
  • I always kind of hoped they burned the bed Amanda and McCrae lived on that one summer.
  • Paulie told Tiffany that, if Frank can get things to a tie vote, he (the tiebreaker) will vote Da'Vonne out.
  • I don't think so! Liar liar pants on fire!
  • It's still either - or between the two.
  • This is one week I'm not going to make a solid prediction. I think it will be Tiffany out, but ...!

Only on the radar due to Paulie connection

Whispering strategy

Will her bum ankle affect her HoH chances?

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - July 20

Pretty boy smile

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Brazen Bullies:
  • The three nominees got their bags and have to pack.
  • Too bad, so sad.
  • Sniffle.
  • Their (very late) morning had just about started when Tiffany (alone) told the camera that she and Da'Vonne had made a final two deal on the second day before the live feeds came on.
  • Then they were all called to the HoH room for a lockdown and we got Jeff highlights loops.
  • In other words, the live feeds were blocked.
  • Much of the rest of the day so far has been spent with Da'Vonne scrambling to make sure she has the votes (against Tiffany) to stay.
  • Or, Frank trying to get a grasp on whether he's gathered enough votes for Da'Vonne to go.
  • Nicole is appearing dazed and confused.
  • Nothing new there.
  • The Paulie Camp is on board for voting out Tiffany, but they're not telling the Frank Camp that.
  • But, part of the Paulie Camp -- Zakiyah and Nicole -- feel that Da'Vonne is sketchy and more dangerous in the game than is Tiffany.
  • They had been let out of the HoH room, but have been on indoor lockdown all day.
  • Lots of speculation about what's going up in the yard.
  • One very common thought is that someone is going to return to the game.
  • A'yup.
  • Corey is on board with voting out Da'Vonne even though he has issues with Tiffany.
  • Paulie's Camp is dwindling. Perhaps they're all being eaten by bears.
  • They didn't talk about what happened when they were locked in the HoH room and the feeds were blocked.
  • They weren't told what's going on.
  • Nicole told Frank she thinks that Tiffany's going. She also told him that people are saying that if Bridgette wins HoH, she would nominate her (Nicole).
  • Frank denied that.
  • Frank also tried to push for a Tiffany save.
  • That's when we found out that Nicole doesn't know the meaning of the word "diabolical" when used in the context of a sentence.
  • Oh my.
  • Frank also pushed his Oust Da'Vonne agenda to Paulie.
  • Paulie thinks Tiffany would go after them and wants her out.
  • Around and around it goes. Where it ends up, nobody knows.
  • Well, we'll know.
  • Tomorrow night.

Michelle is a bit Christine-like

Wondering what's going on comp-wise

I'm not sure who's on board for the vote

She needs to win to buy new jeans

Again, talking with hands all over the place!

A suitable snack for the BB18 hamsters

BB18: Power of Veto Episode Blog Party - July 20



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!

We pick up after the Road Kill ceremony. Nicole is crying, Corey is on the block. Corey isn't crying. Natalie's crying. She remains on the block and now with Corey and Tiffany.

Zakiyah, Corey, Da'Vonne, Michelle and Nicole speculate that Tiffany is the Road Kill winner. Paulie had tried to trick her into confessing to be such just before the ceremony.  Da'Vonne knows it's her. 

Ohh ... Tiffany talks to Frank (and Bridgette), spilling the beans that his buddies can't be trusted, that he's low on the totem-pole. James is in there. He wants to lay low. 

Frank approaches Corey, wants to get him back on his side. But Corey KNOWS Frank won the Road Kill and put him on the block. (Which was all Tiffany, but ...!) Frank tries to make amends with Da'Vonne, too. 

Paul sees Frank and Da'Vonne whispering and runs to Paulie and Corey. Now Paulie is this thinking that if Tiffany wins the PoV, he'll put Da'Vonne up in her place. 

Paul discovers that he can bake muffins. How exciting! 

Veto player pick time. Paulie pulls Da'Vonne. Then he picks Paul. So, those two will play in addition to Natalie, Tiffany, Corey and Paulie. 

Meanwhile ... Bridgette and Frank grow closer to Tiffany. Tiffany has told Da'Vonne she was the RK winner, but doesn't know if she would save her.

Time for the veto comp! It's a candied wonderland in the yard. Rounds of ice cream battles.  They have to transfer huge fake ice cream scoops to match ones shown them. 

Corey goes against Tiffany. Corey wins. Tiffany's out.
Paul challenges Natalie. Paul wins. Natalie is out.
Paulie challenges Da'Vonne. Paulie wins. Da'Vonne is out.
Corey challenges Paul. Corey wins despite the fact he agreed to throw it to Paul.
It's down to Corey and Paulie. Paulie throws it to Corey. 
COREY wins the PoV. He's worried that Nicole might go up if he takes himself down.

Da'Vonne knows that Tiffany will go for a big target and she's worried. So, what does she do? She gets in a tiff with Tiffany! Tiffany spills the Da'Vonne beans to Frank. Tiffany tells Paul he's safe and that Da'Vonne is going down this week.

Time for the veto meeting! Corey uses the veto to save himself. The replacement nominee is Da'Vonne.

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - July 20

From the CBS Big Brother website ...
The Feeds will be down a lil' longer than usual this week, but with good reason! Find out on Battle Back this Friday, July 22 @ 8/7c

Let's watch Michelle pick her toes!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Boredom:
  • I don't have much for you, so you're getting a lot of screen caps.
  • About the only strategy talk noteworthy overnight was James warning Paulie that Da'Vonne is planning on targeting the couples.
  • James told him, as we knew from before, that he would not be voting Da'Vonne out this week.
  • Paulie thinks Tiffany has to go this week, especially since she's now become a minion to Frank.
  • Paul, Paulie and James feel they need to do something about Da'Vonne and Frank when the double eviction comes.
  • They think that will be, if not next week, the week after.
