BB18: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 6

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!

Recap time! What a shock and a surprise. 

To immediately after the Road Kill nominee reveal ... they all know Victor made the nomination. Tiffany says she doesn't know who to trust. I say TRUST NO ONE. Victor is trying to put the focus on Tiffany going home.

Tiffany cries. Michelle consoles her. Da'Vonne consoles her. Paulie consoles her. She cries some more and is super paranoid. Nicole consoles her. She cries some more. Now she's starting to tick some of her own allies off.

Bronte thinks if she lays low, it will keep the target off of her. I don't think Bronte can lay low with that voice! 

Frank advises Tiffany NOT to win the PoV because Victor would name the replacement. After all, they want Victor to BE the replacement. 

Da'Vonne and Frank kind of want Tiffany out now ... but not NOW, Victor first!

Paul finds out that Victor told Paulie and Frank not to trust them. Now he needs to backpedal a bit. He tells us he's cutting his ties to Victor and playing for his own game from now on. 

Time to pick players for the veto comp -- Paulie, Paul, Bronte and Tiffany will play. Paul pulls two chips. Da'Vonne. Paul's chip gets pulled, so he must pick. He picks Zakiyah. Victor is in shock. He was sure he was going to be picked. Paul plays dumb when Victor tells him they both could be safe if he (Victor) played and won PoV.

They do NOT want Tiffany to win; anyone else wins and Victor goes up. Tiffany wins and all that happens with Victor is that he names a replacement nominee. He's not bright about the game, but he's not going to put himself on the block! 

Veto comp -- giant smelly toes all over. It's the Toe-zarks. They have to dig fungi through toe jam to retrieve letters to spell a word. A nasty version of the inevitable Technotronics type word game. 

Paul 9 points
Tiffany - 10 Points with Twinkling
Da'Vonne - 9 points with redemption
Zakiyah - 6 points duration
Bronte - powerful, but not enough at 10 points
She's now in the lead because she finished before Tiffany
Paulie - sustainability - 10 points, he rang in before Bronte, so ...

PAULIE wins the PoV! 

Da'Vonne is upset because Tiffany tried to win the PoV and did NOT throw it. 

Now the show is editing it to look like Tiffany might be in trouble.

Paulie tells Victor that, because he chose Zakiyah to play instead of Victor, he's taking him off the block. 

Back to fun, James hides in a trash can in storage and scares Nicole.

More seeds being planted about the possibility of Tiffany going.  

Time for the Veto Meeting ...
Paulie lets all three talk. He saves Paul who had talked about the power of friendship. He puts Victor up, saying that he can't forget that he (Paulie) almost was out last week because of him.

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - July 6

It's too bad the cars don't drive!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Atrocious Adolescents:

• Da'Vonne has another Frank gripe -- she told Zakiyah that Frank told Paulie about the 8-Pack.
• I'm personally a bit lost about why Paulie was never included in it at the start as he was their pawn last week.
• Victor thinks he might just be paranoid, but he has a feeling he might be going home.
• Heh.
• Don't worry, Victor. You won't be going home.
• Come July 22, you'll have your chance to fight to get back in. You'll just be going to sequester until then.
• THEN you might go home.
• James told Corey he's tired of throwing comps. He's only been doing it due to the team thing and the targets being on his team.
• I myself wish they'd get rid of the team aspect. I know it can't last all season. It might as well go away NOW.
• James pointed out to Michelle and Corey that Frank wants everybody else to do his dirty work for him so he "doesn't get blood on his hands."
• Well, duh.
• Why do all these women wear hair extensions in the house? Michelle accidentally washed hers and Frank likens them to dead rats.
• Of course, these are women who wear make-up to bed. @@
• While Frank's own people think he's playing too hard and is sketchy, thus putting a target on him, he continues with his Tiffany talk. He really wants her out next.
• Will he get his way?
• Paulie told Zakiyah he's been observing everyone and taking a lot in.
• I think he's actually playing the game smarter than his brother. But he has no Derrick as a foil.
• Oh, Corey ... it's a good thing Frank told you not to microwave that metal cup!
• Lots of the same old, same old. Much of Frank's alliance say they want him out, but who would be willing to act on it?
• They're all asleep as I post this.

Looking so happy while talking to Frank

Bridgette listens to Paul and Frank

James has sore feet from wearing girls sneakers

Natalie screwed up the Alfredo sauce

Who wears hats to bed? Hamsters!

Better than Cody, but has no Derrick

BB18: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - July 5

Just chillaxin'

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Doldrums Dullards:

• Not long after they got up this morning, it seemed each hamster was called briefly into the Diary Room.
• They said it was for one question before BB shut down their talk about production.
• Bridgette told Bronte not to trust Tiffany.
• That seems to be a common thread in the house as of late -- don't trust Tiffany.
• Zakiyah is mad because Frank slapped her butt -- Tiffany and Natalie told her she needs to shut that down right now.
• Frank is souring with me a bit. I don't care for that stuff.
• Meanwhile, Victor is trying to improve his behavior.
• it's most likely going to be a matter of too little, too late.
• Da'Vonne is sure that someone will be returning. Frank says that never works out because they're always targeted and out the first week back.
• I don't know ... didn't Judd stay a number of weeks?
• Frank told Zakiyah that both he and Paulie want her with them at the end.
• We'll see about that.
• Paulie got his HoH camera. Fun, fun, fun.
• Lots of napping went down today.
• Zakiyah and Da'Vonne have had just about enough of Frank. 
• Although he hasn't claimed to be the Messiah in the house, he's certainly trying to rule the house.
• Nicole doesn't think the majority of their alliance would be okay with sending Frank home even though he's got issues.
• Victor thinks he has a chance to stay.
• People are lying to him.
• And, he's gullible enough to believe it.
• The Oust Frank Movement spread as the day went on.
• Even Victor has a hook for it -- if he stays and wins HoH, he'll put Frank and Paulie on the block.
• Corey likes Frank. He's not in on the Movement.
• On the other hand, the other nominee (Tiffany) will also go after Frank.
• Although the Oust Frank Movement talk monopolized much of the day, that's not happening this week.
• This week, it should be Victor out.
• And, it might even be unanimous as they've talked Paul into voting "with the house."
• I don't like the voting with the house.
• Make them stop!

Pondering possibilities

Napping

Awake again, sort of

Needs to nap

Paul is playing smarter than his allies

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Silly Sycophants:

• The big news of the day yesterday was the PoV meeting where the expected happened: Paul was taken off the block by Paulie and Victor became the renom.
• Backdoor Victor Plan officially in progress.
• The feeds were blocked for an indoor holiday party for the hamsters.
• Traditionally, the Have Nots can eat during such things.
• Da'Vonne says she'll go along with the EVictor Plan although it's not in her best interest. She wants people to back her when she goes after Frank.
• She stayed up late into the night braiding her gazillion braids.
• Frank wants either Bronte or Tiffany out next week while Da'Vonne wants him out.
• Hmm.
• Victor actually thinks he's getting a lot of support in his campaign to get folks to evict Tiffany instead of him.
• Tiffany admitted to being a lesbian, not bi-sexual as labeled by the show.
• Paul told Da'Vonne she reminds him of Michonne from The Walking Dead. I have to say that, at times, she can be a bit reminiscent of Michonne. Just don't hand her a sword in the house!
• Da'Vonne is a huge Michonne fan, so that set well with her.
• Yawnsers ... nothing much else happened report-worthy.
• They're still asleep now.

Body language

Snackin' down

A good time was had by all

BB18: Live Feeds into Monday Afternoon, PoV renom - July 4

I love to screen cap odd expressions.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Crushed Dreams:

• Right now they still have the yard open. I expect that to end before dusk. Whoops, the yard is now closed.
• The PoV ceremony went down much earlier than I thought it would.
• However, the result was exactly as expected -- Paulie took Paul off the block, replacing him him with Victor.
• Surprisingly, Victor has been taking it well. He said he was expecting it. 
• Maybe some of the talks in which Paul hinted at it sunk in.
• Maybe somebody gave him warning.
• I don't know.
• Victor did tell Paul he "called it."
• Well, that's because he knew about it beforehand. But, he wisely didn't tell Victor those details.
• Paul thanked Paulie for taking him off the block (although he knows it's because they want to backdoor Victor).
• He's probably thinking he's lucky not to be Victor!
• James and Victor have patriotic tank tops on.
• Frank continued his anti-Tiffany talk with Da'Vonne.
• She pretty much dismissed him, reminding him they have the numbers and that's all that matters right now.
• Victor is trying to steer the focus from him or Bronte onto Tiffany.
• He told Da'Vonne he was the Road Kill winner who put Tiffany on the block.
• As if she didn't already know that!
• Nicole said something which struck me as my own thoughts -- Victor is so handsome until you see how cocky he really is.
• Not much going on. They're probably stuck in the house for the duration of the day due to the holiday doings on the lot. 

Comfort is lacking, methinks

Victor works out pre-ceremony

Looking to see who's coming
