BB18: PoV Comp Episode Blog Party - June 29

Ready for the Power of Veto? As tonight's show airs, I'll be live updating this entry with the major events. Refresh the page to get the latest! As always, the real party is in the comments area. Come watch the show with us!

Recap time! Woot, woot.

Okay, we pick it up at the end of the Road Kill ceremony. Nicole thinks the 8-Pack is secure. (But they need to win PoV.) Jozea thinks Paulie, the next best thing to a game vet because of Cody, must go. Jozea, Paul and Victor are trying to figure out who Road Killed Paul. They think it's Michelle. Jozea is sure he's safe. After all, he's getting veterans in his fold, he'll win the veto and yada-yada-yada.

Heh. Jozea is telling Da'Vonne, Zakiyah and James it was Michelle who won Road Kill. They're most of the select group who know it was Frank.

Paul is worried that Bridgette is putting her team ahead of her group by getting pally with Paulie. He runs to Victor with his Bridgette suspicions.

Bronte reminds us she's a math girl. She wants to be where the numbers are. Maybe we should Go Fund her an abacus. She's way off base.

Veto Pick Time:
Nicole HOH picks two chips. If she pulls a nominee's name, they get to choose.
First name she picks is Da'Vonne. She picked Corey. Paul's not a happy camper.

Frank goes to be all sympathetic with Jozea. Jozea buys the act.

James, Corey and Frank pranked Paul by putting whipped cream on his face as he slept.

PoV comp time!
The players are all in dog costumes. Michelle, the host is a fire hydrant. It's a spinning get dizzy thing with stacking treats. We love to see the hamsters dizzy!

PAUL won the Golden Power of Veto! (And then commenced to wear the veto necklace for the longest time on record on the live feeds.)

Since Paul was the Road Kill nominee, if he takes himself off the block, it's up to Frank to come up with another nominee. And, they still won't know it's Frank doing the nominating.

Bridgette realizes that there are two teams safe from nomination and that she's one of five who can go up. (The rest are in the HOH alliance.)

Tiffany tells Paulie that Vanessa is her sister. Now they can bond.

Jozea makes another Messiah comment, this time to Frank. He thinks he has Frank in his pocket. Heh. He's so wrong!

Jozea calls a meeting. Paulie isn't invited. It's a secret meeting that isn't secret. Little does Jozea know that Da'Vonne and Zakiyah and so many others want HIM out. James is there, too. Jozea is making an idiot out of himself.

Da'Vonne to us, "That boy don't even see his own eviction and it's slapping him in the face every day."

Bridgette goes up (for her girls) to the HoH room. That makes everybody on both sides a bit suspicious.

Paulie confronted Jozea about calling the house meeting. Jozea denies he called one. Then Jozea said that if they want someone out, they're out. After all, "we run this house."

Time for the Veto Meeting. Paul saves himself. Nicole reads a statement about the Road Kill making a secret nominee. On the screen, all the faces go by and stop on Bridgette. She's replacing Paul on the block. She's not pleased.

Tomorrow we'll know who gets the boot. My fingers are crossed for a 7-4.

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday - June 29

Somebunny needs to go home

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Loquacious Lumpalots:

• As I mentioned in my last report, Tiffany is getting paranoid, shades of Vanessa.
• Frank and Da'Vonne are already a bit tired of that. As Frank said, "We're not here to be babysitters for a 32 year-old."
• I'm just concerned that she's going to lose it emotionally like her sister. That emotion is what did Vanessa in.
• The fans versus the recruits is a little mentioned aspect of the game. For example, Michelle (superfan) thinks that people like Paul (who knows little of the show) should be gone before jury. I'm pretty sure that, as the season goes on, we'll see less patience from the fans as they try to school recruits.
• Zakiyah thinks Bronte is giving her the stink-eye because Paulie likes her.
• Frank doesn't like the team set-up for HoH. He doesn't think we (the show fans) like it either.
• He's right. I actually like the Road Kill comp, but that can't last when the numbers dwindle. But I'm not keen on the teams for HoH.
• Gah! Da'Vonne told James that Michelle told Jozea the vote would be 7-4. What the ...?!?! She should know better! It just gives the returnees more reason to stick together. They know loose lips sink ships!
• BB gave them alcohol again and they played "Never Have I Ever."
• Geez, Zakiyah is homesick and started crying.
• Give me a break.
• She needs to get over it.
• That's what happens when you have a houseful of adolescents playing the game!
• That must be a rumor Da'Vonne spread about Michelle (why?) because, after that conversation, Paul/Victor/Jozea still think Paulie will be voted out.
• Hmm.
• Paul is sick of women undermining his game, in particular ... Bronte.
• While Paul thinks James is the "mastermind" of the game, he yells at Bronte.
• And Bronte yells back.
• And Jozea decides they need a house meeting!
• And a shot rang out. The maid screamed. 
• Although I like James, he's more the Mastermind of Pranks than the Mastermind of the House. If anyone, I think it's more Frank masterminding things, albeit fairly unobtrusively.
• Heh. Natalie likened BB to "high school on steroids." It certainly is with this bunch!
• Now Paul is all bent out of shape about James. Natalie thinks James told lies to hurt her.
• Wah. Wah. Wah. Save your drama for your mama, kiddies.
• It shows a lot when both Paul and Bronte started referring to James being Asian as they derided him. When folks stoop to stuff like that, they knock themselves down a level with me.
• They're all asleep now. Maybe the Sugarplum Fairy will come along and knock some sense into some of them.
  

"I'm a delicate flower."

Paulie will lose his pixels soon

James needs a Meg

They got alcohol again

BB18: Live Feeds Tuesday into the Evening - June 28

Losing Internet favor, if he ever had it

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wanton Wombats:

• Oh my gosh ... Thursday's eviction can't come soon enough. These doldrums are among the boringest (I'm sure that's a word) ever!
• One of the problems is is that everybody on the whole kind of gets along. There aren't any real clashes in the house.
• Because they're letting Jozea think he's indeed the Messiah of the house, all is going fairly smoothly.
• Sure, there's a bit of tension here and there.
• The only violence has been against the ants.
• And they deserved it.
• They talked movies.
• Paul gave Nicole a chess lesson.
• Paul is actually meshing with both sides of the house better than Victor, Natalie or Bronte. The diary room segments on the aired show don't show that. 
• Bridgette is a bit iffy. She's allied with the newbie bunch, but the returnees think she MIGHT have promise.
• Frank told the others that he heard the producers say there will never be another All-Stars version.
• "STOP TALKING ABOUT PRODUCTION."
• Natalie and Bronte are still all giggly in their BFF mode.
• Jozea offered to help Michelle with her social game. Bwahaha! She's in with the returnees and most of the girls in a separate alliance.
• The HoH digital camera came out. Lots of mugging for the camera. Thrilling.
• Frank is pretty sure the vote will be 7-4 to evict Jozea. I think that's probably just about right.
• Tiffany made strides to get closer to James because she heard tell that he didn't trust her.
• Tiffany is starting to get a bit paranoid. Hopefully she won't go all Vanessa on the place.
• There's really not much going on. Lots of talk, no action. The plan remains the same.
• I won't miss those tight undies Jozea wears all the time.

Applying lip gloss ... anyone remember BB1?

She fusses with her hair and it's this

HoHing, maybe next?

Jozea is not a good cheerleader

BB18: Live Feeds Overnight into Tuesday - June 28

Hot tub Bridgette

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Lackluster Loonies:

• When asked, Tiffany told Jozea that he should be staying.
• Yeah, right.
• Jozea told Tiffany that by Day 70 or so, he'll know everyone and everything about the house.
• I agree with him. Watching the live feeds from home will give him more information than he's getting inside the house as a hamster.
• Heehee
• Frank doesn't like ketchup. Good. Someone other than me doesn't like it.
• Jozea's side thinks that Paulie will be going home. Unfortunately, they think they have more on their side than they actually do.
• The Fatal Five is still meeting daily. Let's see how long this female alliance lasts. It's Da'Vonne, Michelle, Zakiyah, Tiffany and Nicole.
• Nicole said that she and Hayden broke up because she wants a family and children, he doesn't. She said their goals are very different, but maybe someday ...
• You can tell it's a sad thing for her.
• Sniffle.
• Jozea doesn't know what ZingBot is. Too bad he'll be out too early to get some zings.
• Paul was going on about how it's ridiculous to be a Michelle or Tiffany and memorize so much about the game. After all, he only watched season 16 and he's confident in his game and his natural instincts.
• While he is right that you can't develop a set strategy as situations and people differ, really KNOWING BB gives you the knowledge of approaches which worked and ones that went bust. 
• Plus, you don't look stupid by not knowing who ZingBot is.
• Jozea thinks he's the male version of Joan Rivers. She indeed must be rolling in her grave if she heard that one!
• Then he compared himself to Prince.
• I have no words for that one.
• Meanwhile, Da'Vonne is leading Jozea along by telling him he probably shouldn't even bother packing his clothes. Ha! I do like it when her devilish side comes out!
• Michelle is still getting the blame for first putting Paul on the block, then Bridgette. We know Frank did it.
• Jozea thinks he connected with Da'Vonne on Day One. Um, well, in a way, he did -- not in a good way, though.
• Natalie thinks there's a big alliance and Da'Vonne might be reporting to them. Uh-oh.
• Paul is upset with the mess in the kitchen. He wants to find out who's leaving messes and call them out. After all, they don't need more ants! 
• I can't blame the dude for that.
• Paul and Jozea acted like jerks trying for the camera's attention.
• And on it goes.

This is just weird

How exciting is this?!?

Paulie certainly gets around

Prank well done

Zakiyah is rather low on the radar

Idiots acting like such for the camera

BB18: Live Feeds into Monday Night - June 27

Frankly, he doesn't ...

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

• Paulie is all antsy about Bronte, some comments she made and that he thinks she's hiding how smart she is.
• Frank told him that she can't be too smart ... she's working with Jozea.
• I say, if you want to get antsy, there are enough all over the house this season!
• Meanwhile, Bronte wants to apologize to Paulie. She says she was just kidding.
• Jozea thinks that Da'Vonne was evicted so early last year because the cast wasn't diverse.
• I wonder what reasoning he'll use for his own demise?
• Oh gosh. Paulie and Bronte had a talk and he actually ... caressed her arm! My eyes! My eyes!
• Both Paulie and Cody are touchy-feely kind of guys.
• Lots of weight lifting and working out today. Yawn.
• Oh ... and chess, too. YAWN.
• And napping. SUPER YAWN.
• Frank told Nicole and Corey that everyone is boring today. I agree.
• Frank and Da'Vone (and James) really can't figure out Bridgette. Frank thinks she's on Jozea's side only because she thinks he has the majority vote. 
• Bronte doesn't want James to get HoH because she thinks he'll work with the other side instead of their team.
• James started prank calling on the phones in the house. Yeah, there are phones, but they can't make calls to the outside.
• Jozea is still confident he's staying.
• Frank says that Jozea poisons the others -- they're fine when he's not around.
• That's about it for the doldrums today.

Why oh why did he ally with Jozea?

Showmance? Bwahaha! No.

Is it the Girl From Ipanema?

A whole lotta hair goin' on.
