BB18: Nominations, Road Kill Show Blog Party - July 10



Hamster watchers ready? Let's get this show going! 

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!

Recap, recap. Tiffany is trying to work on the girls. She knows Frank wants her out. Hey, the announcer used MY "Evictored" bit! I want royalties.

Okay, cut to just after Bridgette wins HoH. Her gameplay is "friendship," don'tcha know? Frank reminds us that Tiffany is his biggest target. Da'Vonne says that Bridgette's HoH might as well be Frank's. Zakiyah is worried because she's never had much to do with Bridgette.

The "Spy Girls" seem to think they're safe ... at least, Natalie feels that way. Frank tells Da'Vonne he's going to try to get Bridgette to put up Tiffany and Bronte. If she doesn't go for Bronte, Paul. Bridgette herself is leaning towards Corey and Nicole. Frank pooh-poohed that.

Ah, a Frank being inappropriate segment. About time! 

Who wants to see my HoH room? Gah. 

Frank being more inappropriate to Da'Vonne, he apologizes but she's not happy.

Nominations time -- Paul and Tiffany (Frank's noms!) "Just a game move. We can talk about it over hot Cheetos." 

Road Kill has them matching eight horn sounds in the proper sequence -- Horn Star. And ... the winner is ... Frank!

Frank tells Nicole and Corey he won it. Then he tells James, Zakiyah, Da'Vonne  and Michelle. He wants to put up Bronte. He knows Bridgette won't like it. But he thinks if Bronte comes down, Natalie can go up.

Bronte is revealed as the Road Kill nominee.

Off Topic: That Was the Week It Was - July 10, 2016

I have very little for you this week in my weekly off television topic reflection of the week gone by in both words and photos I've taken along the way.

There wasn't much "along the way" to my week. I was on a staycation from work and it turned out to literally be a STAYcation. Since Tuesday we've had heat wave type temperatures and humidity. The older I get, the less I do well in that kind of weather. I honestly haven't gone anywhere except for a quick run into neighboring Scotch Plains on Tuesday and around the corner to the local bodega one day. I've stayed inside in air conditioning.

  • I found the news this past week extremely depressing and horrifying. 
  • I read a lot.
  • I napped a lot.
  • I cooked decent meals.
  • I paid attention to a certain cat.
  • I napped some more.
  • I did some housekeeping.
  • I did not take hardly any photographs.
  • I didn't get done much of what I wanted to get done.
  • Tomorrow I return to work.
  • Sigh.

Growing by my apartment fence

Most of the day lilies have already passed. But the ones along my apartment building fence were late-bloomers.

In blossom now, around the corner

Pretty pink on Berckman Street

How I've felt all staycation

Vincent is caught in a yawn. Every time I look at this photo, I yawn. Maybe I need a cat nap.

Paul takes cheerleading lessons

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hapless Hipsters:
  • As I told you last night, Bridgette won the Power of Veto.
  • She hurt herself doing it, but is proud of her efforts. She was given crutches and thinks (with her nursely wisdom) that she'll be fine by tomorrow.
  • Which is today.
  • But that's beside the point.
  • I neglected to tell you the Have Nots -- Nicole, Corey and Tiffany -- the Freakazoids. Their supplemental foods are popcorn and peanuts.
  • Bronte noted that Paul is so much better with Jozea gone ... "we all are."
  • That's true.
  • Michelle thinks Frank "hates" her and wants her out of the house.
  • Nah, she's low on his list. It's Tiffany he wants out this week with his Bridgette's HoH.
  • They've been locked inside all night, apparently the yard clean-up is quite a task.
  • Tiffany is really upset that she didn't win PoV. She thinks the only good thing is that the nominations won't change.
  • Or ... will they?
  • Probably not. 
  • Remember the pre-season buzz about Corey's sleepwalking? He hasn't done it so far and says that he's probably too tired to sleepwalk in the house.
  • Aw, boo.
  • Paul's nose ring is getting infected or something. He needs to take that out, I think.
  • James told the others that Liz and Austin only lasted about three months.
  • Why am I not surprised?
  • Tiffany would love to see Natalie on the block. Nicole thinks that Natalie is coming between her and James and wouldn't mind it if she was gone.
  • I doubt that will happen.
  • Nicole told Tiffany they should have the votes to get Bronte out this week.
  • I personally think it's going to be Tiffany.
  • And, Nicole is just saying that. She doesn't want to upset Tiffany. But she doesn't want to blindside her either.
  • What to do ... what to do.
  • Tons of small talk and most stayed up all night. James and Natalie are still awake and whispering as I get this posted.

Not pranking all the time

A giraffe will watch over her

Definitely not playing Cody's game

A kiss coming? No way!

Ew, handling a wooden spoon AND her foot!

She thinks she'll be fine

BB18: Live Feeds into Saturday Evening, PoV - July 9


Just a brief report tonight!
  • Natalie and Paulie were the additional ones competing for PoV
  • Bridgette won the Power of Veto!
  • It was a messy one


BB18: Live Feeds Overnight into Saturday - July 9

It's the one thing

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hungry Hippos:
  • Yes, they finally got to feast at midnight.
  • Fun (and calories) were had by all.
  • Just as a reminder ... Bridgette nominated Paul and Tiffany, Paul being the pawn. Frank won Road Kill and nominated Bronte.
  • I just felt I had to say that.
  • I finally got to read the quote on Tiffany's inside upper right arm. It's an Albert Einstein quote: "Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony."
  • A very fine quote, but I still wouldn't want it there on my arm. That's very sensitive skin area!
  • Natalie says she just wants to stay in the game long enough to make jury.
  • Every season we get those who are content making the stipend. I think that's about $1,000 a week these days. Since many of them don't have the ability to get a weekly paycheck in that amount in real life, it's a bonanza to them.
  • James says that everybody should be voting Tiffany out this week, Frank is the target next week.
  • Mind you, he didn't say that to Frank!
  • Natalie wants Bronte to stay.
  • Okay, two counts against Natalie right there!
  • At their feast, Nicole noticed her hamburger was "raw." It was actually rare. She freaked and thought she was already sick to her stomach. Oh, give me a break, Nicole! I like you, but really ...!
  • When Tiffany told Nicole she and Corey make a cute couple, Nicole said she doesn't think she's Corey's type. I don't think she is.
  • Frank acted like a frat boy during their feast. One would think he would be too old to make more than one fart joke during dinner.
  • Lots of small talk, not much action, until they all conked out.
  • Today should be the Power of Veto comp. That will liven things up again!
