BB 18: Live Feeds Report - Into Saturday Morning - June 25

Shades of Cody

Yep, Paulie has Zakiyah sprawled all over him, caressing him. At least she's not a married woman with a husband watching from home!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Blowhard Buffoons:
  • Paul may have the record for wearing his PoV the longest. 
  • I forgot to mention in my last report that an unfortunate happening goes on when the feeds are blocked for a comp (so far) this season -- we got the Jeff cast interviews with commentary between each one with Jeff and JESSE Goddard. Eek. Give me back neverending fish and the theme music loop, please!
  • Jozea admitted that his real name isn't "Jozea" and that's just his "stage name." It sounds like he's really your average Jose.
  • It seems like it might be Frank naming the nomination replacement. Perhaps because it's Frank's Road Kill nominee? I could be wrong on that.
  • Frank, Tiffany and Michelle talked about putting Bridgette up.
  • Of course, the others on the Dark Side don't know that it's Frank who put Paul up on the block in the first place.
  • Meanwhile, just watching her, I don't think Bridgette is entirely comfortable with the side she chose. 
  • Jozea wants to call another house meeting even though everyone went to bed and his last meeting called never happened. Heh.
  • Tiffany is a bit suspicious about Paulie. Hmm. Paulie is quite in with Jozea and Paul. Hmm.
  • Others might be, too. Paulie doesn't know it's Frank who put Paul on the block.
  • After all, loose lips sink ships and all.
  • Frank thinks Victor needs to go (after Jozea) while Corey wants Paul out.
  • Corey has worked his way right into the veteran's bunch. I believe he's loyal to them, not a double agent. The newbie crowd not in with the veteran's already bunch him with them.
  • Paul told Paulie that he won't vote for him to go. Huh. So, he'll vote Jozea or the Mystery Replacement?
  • Once again, Corey mentioned he doesn't want his family (or others) to think he's gay. This time it was because Jozea flirted with him. Corey seems to be a nice guy overall, but he does seem to have some kind of issues with either self-identity or homosexuality. 
  • He also told his bunch that, at eviction, he wants to say "I gaily vote Jozea out." The others squashed that. Good.
  • For most of the meeting, Jozea kept talking about how they're running the house and running the show.
  • We'll see about that.
  • Oh ... and James was in on the meeting! Like Jozea has any loyalty from him ... AS IF.
  • Paul is pretty sure the live eviction is Sunday. The rest of the world knows better. This is what happens when you bring in a hamster because he has a beard.
  • Bronte and Natalie continue to bond. Not that they'll have much power ever with the rest of the house.
  • Frank, for the most part, is playing quite low-key at the surface. I think he's going to be one to watch for the win, though. He's personable and knows the game. I would have liked him better in his own season had he not clicked with Boogie.
  • Frank told Paul that a comment he made to Nicole, calling her a female dog, wasn't cool. Paul said he'd apologize and knows it was wrong. Hmm.
  • Frank also doesn't think it's right that Bridgette feels bullied, mostly by Jozea. (Also Victor and Paul.)
  • I'm not so sure she'd be the best nomination replacement for them. I bet she'd swap sides. She's getting quite upset with Jozea and Victor. Paul made an effort to talk to her more sincerely at one point during the night.
  • Interesting -- James told Tiffany he still talks to Shelli, but not to Clay. (They broke up.)
  • James is also playing a great social game. I'm not too keen on returning hamsters with newbies but they made some good choices with this group, methinks.
  • BB gave them alcohol. It's the equivalent of one and a half beers or wine each. Go wild with that, kiddies.
  • Natalie doesn't drink. (And yet they allowed her on the show?)
  • In their big drinking game, Victor had to streak naked through the house.
  • Frank thinks he can flip Bronte, Paul and Natalie. Hmm. He has done a lot of work (socially) on improving Paul's social game. 
  • Jozea remains the number one target. If Paul's stupid and saves Jozea with the veto, he'd go home. He's not BB-savvy, but I doubt he's that dumb.
  • Meanwhile, Jozea keeps sinking his own ship as he keeps talking about how great he is. I think Victor's the only one remaining loyal in his camp.
  • They're all asleep as I post this.
  • And, no ... Corey is not sleepwalking!

BB18: Live Feeds Report into Friday Evening, PoV Winner - June 24

Corey bunny

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Clueless Recruits:
  • Well, we found out why it sounded like there were three people on the block.
  • It's not that Paul was the chosen one to take place in a possible PoV save.
  • It's that Paul, Jozea and Paulie are all on the block.
  • And, it's Frank's doing, but Paul and his buddies are unaware of who exactly did it.
  • Apparently, they had some competition (before the feeds went on and, remember, last night's show wasn't live) called Roadkill.
  • No one was told the winner. It was Frank. And, it gave him the power to put a third person on the block.
  • So, he did. He told his inner circle, but neither Jozea nor Paul know who did it.
  • Heehee.
  • Natalie and Bronte are developing a strong alliance of two. They think they need to play more like Michelle and Natalie, not allowing the guys to manipulate them.
  • Oh, by the way ... Jozea's big meeting for 2am never happened.
  • Silly boy.
  • The veto players were chosen: Nicole, Paul, Paulie, Jozea, Corey and Da'Vonne. Michelle will host. I'm not quite sure how those numbers work out or how they did it. If the HoH and each nominee for eviction picked someone, there should be eight.
  • Jozea kept saying how he thinks production rigs the comps and has a set outcome. @@
  • When he was talking to Michelle and Bridgette, Jozea showed how absolutely clueless he is about BB. He didn't know who Ian Terry is. He knows who Frankie is, but not that he's Ariana's brother? 
  • That says right there that he isn't a show fan. We knew all too well -- Frankie didn't let us forget!
  • The feeds were down for a few hours for the PoV comp.
  • They're back.
  • Lord have mercy, Paul won.
  • Jozea and Paul are wearing dog costumes.
  • Michelle is wearing something very red. Is she a tomato? Ah, she finally stood up. She's a fire hydrant.

James is James is James

Hanging out (or not)

Frank had the power and used it

BB18: Live Feeds Report Into Friday - June 24

Category 4 punishment costume
Well, here we are ... the first live feeds report for BB18 here on the blog. I hate coming in after they've been in the house for over a week without us knowing what's been happening. The live feeds went on at 1am-ish here and now we have to play catch-up! Here's what's been happening in the late night hours inside that Big Brother House of Newbie Noobs:
  • We now know the punishment for Category 4 hamsters (from the comp).
  • They have to appear "naked" with pixeled-out cardboard (?) pieces velcroed to them.
  • They say the velcro is uncomfortable.
  • Too bad, so sad.
  • The ants are already running rampant in the house. 
  • Jozea chews with his mouth open. I'm not surprised.
  • At midnight their time, the Have Nots (Big Sister team) get to feast. I guess because the live feeds went on? I don't know.
  • Wait, it seems the Have Nots might have ended because they're sleeping in the regular rooms.
  • But, we're talking FEAST.
  • The vets were talking votes and think that Paulie will stay 8-3 over Jozea.
  • Apparently, if Jozea comes off the block, Paul will be put on the block.
  • Shades of her sister, Tiffany complained of a migraine. Plus, when I had the feeds on and went to my refrigerator ... I could swear she has her sister's voice!
  • Jozea seems to be doing a good job of alienating himself from his fellow newbies. Not a good move on his part. 
  • He has no clue what to say to win friends and influence people!
  • He made an off the cuff comment about not appreciating service men who have risked their lives for this country. James, a veteran, took issue as did Michelle ... her father was military.
  • He also said lots of other rather stupid stuff. Plus, his attitude is reminding me of the hamster who refused to go to the Diary Room and threw her mic in the pool.
  • Bridgette is hogging a double bed and not sharing because she has a boyfriend.
  • Jozea called a meeting for 2am. Nicole is upset because she wasn't invited.
  • C'mon, Nicole ... get yourself together!
  • None of the vets were invited.
  • About an hour into the feeds, they realize they're on and promptly act like idiots because they know they're on camera. @@
  • Jozea, the biggest camera idiot of them all. I know he's from NJ where I am, but the dude is too much.
  • Corey is worried that people will think he's gay.
  • In a way, he's coming across quite Clay-like. But he does seem nicer. He's definitely loyal to Nicole. That's a good thing as they (the vets) are so out-numbered.
  • Victor is wearing a bunny hat. It brings out his dimples.
  • Hmm ... James also knows that Tiffany is Vanessa's sister. I wonder who else knows.
  • During the feast, Paul ate peanut butter and jelly bacon. That just might be good!
  • James instigated a pillow fight with Bridgette. Fun was had by all who got into it. 
  • Ohhh ... Zakiyah told us (the camera) that she doesn't like Victor. It seems she's hanging out with the vets (and Da'Vonne) quite a bit. She just might be trending their way.
  • Victor doesn't seem to be winning female friends at all for the playboy he thinks he is. Both Michelle and Tiffany think he's annoying and trying too hard.
  • Jozea's big meeting plans excluded the vets plus Corey, Michelle and Paulie.
  • Natalie and Bronte figured out Paulie is working with the vets, or at least with Natalie because he's not mad that he was put on the block. They think he's the pawn. They're right.
  • They also think their fellow newbies guys have an alliance and the girls aren't included.
  • There's a new female alliance in town -- the Fatal Five -- Tiffany, Nicole, Zakiyah, Michelle and Da'Vonne.
  • That's about it ... for now.
  • Laters!

Naked, but not naked

After tonight's eviction, this blog pool will be updated. The latecomers we caught climbing over the fences will be allowed in and the first evicted pool people will be reassigned. When the pool was formed, we didn't know who would be returning. The "newbies" added into the pool and first boot people will be divvied up among the veteran hamsters. Of course, if only three of them remain after tonight, some of the pool folks might be assigned to the hamsters with the fewest pool peeps. It's all random picks! For tonight's show, the pool is as stands above!

Ready to party?

Recap, recap ...

The Freakazoids -- Glenn, Nicole, Tiffany and Corey -- must compete against each other in tonight's third round comp. The loser will get evicted. The others will decide who's HoH. Nominations tonight.

Oh, geez. Tiffany is crying and Da'Vonne is trying to get her to spill that she's Vanessa's sister. And, so she does. Tiffany said she wouldn't be emotional. Huh.

Paul pushes Corey to go after the returning hamsters. Meanwhile, Corey isn't quite sure that's the best for his own game. Nicole is trying to work reverse psychology on Corey to convince him that they should decide to make her HoH (if she doesn't get the boot). It works.

The competition has them stranded on their own islands, climbing a tree, retrieving coconuts, pull themselves to complete their SOS.

NICOLE WINS! She's SAFE!

Vanessa, er ... Tiffany ... is looking almost identical to Vanessa in the Diary Room.

Tiffany is safe.

Corey and Glenn just about tied. Corey stays as he was judged first. Glenn goes home. The first eviction of the year.

Nicole convinced them that she would be HoH IF they really wanted it. It worked! Nicole is the HOH and Paul is ticked off. Heh. Paul lets Corey know that he's not happy. Poor Corey.

Paulie tells James and Nicole that he has a connection with them because of Cody and would like to work with them. The plot grows thicker.

As Nicole puts it, Victor just handed her a nominee on a silver platter by telling her first that all the newbies want the veterans out and that Jozea really wanted her out. Can we guess that Jozea will be nominated?

Heh. James is up to his pranking already.

The slop has arrived for Paul, Jozea, Zakiyah and Da'Vonne. The bedroom is bumper car beds, flashing lights and a carnival atmosphere. Now Jozea has done himself in with Da'Vonne by being boastful and calling himself the Messiah of the newbies.

The vets talk with Corey. Nicole wants Jozea out. To make sure he goes, she wants to put up someone who'd win the veto -- Paulie. But she has to make sure Paulie is okay with it.

Hmm ... sometimes the pawn goes home. Especially if he has a brother who already played the game. Hmm.

Nominations Ceremony -- Jozea and Paulie. Uh-oh. Not an easy decision, chose a strong player from each team.

Jozea is cocky; he claims that he rules the house.

PoV and a new surprise for Saturday.

Just a note: The live feeds go on at 1am for me here on the East Coast. My first live feeds report should be up early morning East Coast time. And, a blog pool update will also be posted. Come on back!
