BB18: Live Feeds Overnight into Thursday - July 7

Nicole looks befuddled a lot.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Conspiring Comrades:

• Grr. Blogger keeps freezing on me as I write this live feeds report. That's not cool. It needs to stop that.
• Huh. Victor claims he was asked to do The Bachelor. Talk about recruits!
• Now, I can see some people who might want to actually apply for more than one reality show. After all, if someone wants to do Survivor, they'd probably love to do The Amazing Race. But there must be a bunch of folks who just get casting connections just to get out there on TV. And, Victor's apparently one of them.
• While talking anti-Frank, Paulie told Da'Vonne that Bridgette is a spy for Frank and they need to consider targeting her as well.
• He also told her he likes Paul, but doesn't entirely trust him.
• She told him that she entirely trusts Nicole and Zakiyah.
• Corey claims to live in the house where Jack Ruby lived. Hmm.
• He also claims the neighborhood is a "gayborhood." Hmm.
• Bronte told Bridgette she thinks there are four siblings to previous hamsters in the house.
• She's the math whiz. In her mind, probably one plus one equals four.
• Frank told Paulie and Corey that the girls are so loyal, they might as well keep them around.
• Heh. Little does he know ...!
• Neither Paulie nor Corey fill him in on the real skinny about those girls.
• Heh.
• There has been less Oust Tiffany talk as the Oust Frank talk escalates.
• Of course, Frank still has his sights on Tiffany.
• Natalie does really seem to like James. She stuck up for him as Bronte and Bridgette warned her that showmances tend to get both parties nominated.
• Bronte is still worried that she'll be evicted even though the whole house (just about) should be voting for Victor to go.
• James doesn't want to throw the HoH comp again.
• Frank thinks production might get on to them for throwing comps.
• Nicole says she won't throw the comp.
• I'm sure that statement puts fear in the hearts of all the hamsters.
• Heehee.
• Nicole is very worried that Frank is secretly targeting her for eviction.
• Well, not yet, Nicole. I think he wants Tiffany out first.
• They want Michelle to throw HoH so that her team (with Frank) is open for nomination.
• The Anti-Frank Squad think he's going to be very hard to take out in a PoV comp.
• They're probably right. In order to get Frank out, they'd have to have a perfect real backdoor like they've done with Victor this week. If Frank plays for PoV, it's unlikely they'll get him out.
• All are sleeping as I (finally) get this posted.

See ... she can smile!

Bathroom brush-up

So ... the vote will be 10-0?

My hair extensions are DEAD!

Last night with the robe, Jersey Boy!

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - July 6

Aw, how cute!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Whispering Weasels:

• I know that due to the aired show schedule, the comps and action are pretty much back to back, then we have days of doldrums. But, my goodness, it seems to be a longer stretch of doldrums each week!
• BB let them sleep in until around 11am their time today. Here, half the day is shot by then!
• Then, most proceeded to take naps during the day, too.
• Paulie, informed by Corey that Frank was using him, is coming up with various alliances scenarios sans Frank. He also wants to leave Michelle out.
• James, in talking to Nicole, hopes that America doesn't label them dumb for not sticking to a returnees alliance.
• Almost all talking against Frank who were previously with Frank say pretty much the same thing ... he's playing too hard too fast and it's obvious that, even this early in the game, he's only playing for his own goals.
• Paulie thinks it might not be in their best interest to target Frank immediately.
• The latest new alliance kind of grouping is Da'Vonne, Zakiyah, Paulie, Corey and Nicole.
• Of course, Nicole talks to James all the time.
• But they don't seem to realize that.
• Nothing has really changed about the EVictoring this week -- just lots of talks about mistrusting and what if situations.
• Then again, James also talks to Frank. He went and told him the 8-Pack is falling apart into splinter groups.
• Gah!
• Frank still has his sights on Tiffany going out next week.
• We'll see.

No girl over seven needs to wear a pink bow

Aw, how cute! Okay, strategy talk ...

Will girl power survive?

Mingling ... but it won't help

Scrambling for a foothold in

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
