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

Making his brother proud

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.

10:47 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.

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.
