Workin' it

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Myopic Maniacs:

• Y'know ... these doldrums periods get really trying when you're attempting to make this stuff entertaining on a blog!
• At least, when they're doing "secret" comps, I can try to give you some breaking informational news.
• But, when we're in times like this, it all tends to be a lot of "what ifs." What if so-and-so wins HoH? Who will I target? It all goes by the wayside because the scenarios rarely go down in actuality.
• I always label these posts as spoilers.
• It's just a habit.
• Forgive me, America.
• Okay ... let's just see what I've got for you ...
• Paulie is getting almost Frank-ish on getting Tiffany out this week.
• I guess there's no solidarity between the We Have BB Siblings Duo.
• Nicole is irked at Michelle because she thinks Michelle put a target on her back.
• I'd personally like to see these hamsters walking around with literal targets on their backs when they think they have one. They could all then turn and target the few without the physical targets on their backs.
• That makes sense. Right?
• More than a few people are telling Paul he's safe this week.
• Well, duh. I'll be surprised if anyone votes to evict Paul. He's the survivor of the Three Stooges and seems to have overcome his early bad decision to jump in the Jozea Boat.
• Corey wants a boy to win HoH this week. Hmm. I guess there are no real men in the house, huh?
• Michelle claims that Tiffany's latest tactic of wearing sunglasses all the time is a Vanessa tactic.
• I recall, sometime last week, Bridgette asked Paul to take his sunglasses off as they talked.
• Judge Judy never allows sunglasses unless they're prescription ones. People do hide a lot behind them.
• Nicole thinks that Da'Vonne has just been trying to make Frank mad. She doesn't want Frank to be mad ... even if she and many others want him out.
• Corey is getting leery of Da'Vonne. She wants everyone to throw HoH to her. But she rarely talks to him, spends a lot of time sleeping ... how does he know what she'd do with it?
• Frank and Nicole talked about sending Da'Vonne out.
• Hmm.
• It seems the less targeted of the returnees would be Nicole and James.
• Their solidarity has definitely fallen apart on short order!
• Paul is workin' it. He thinks he needs to get closer to Bronte and Natalie (for the good of his game). He's adapting much better than I thought he ever would.
• Zakiyah is getting a bit hung up on Paulie, but wonders if it's mutual or not.
• James thinks that Paulie is getting a bit Frank-like and, as I would say, too big for his britches.
• Da'Vonne is also leery of Paulie as well.
• Paul told Nicole that he thinks Natalie is taking advantage of James and is using him. Paul thinks James is a nice guy and feels sorry for him.
• Michelle told Nicole that Frank and Bridgette want her (Nicole) and Paulie out.
• Oh, yeah ... let's just fuel the fire.
• I want a brouhaha!
• I don't get one.
• Wah.
• Michelle also said that Frank wants to backdoor Da'Vonne and that Corey and Nicole were in on it.
• Oh my, Michelle. 
• Keep all of this up and it's YOU who will get the boot.
• They all talk together, y'know.
• Michelle also said that Paulie referred to himself, Paul and Frank as kind of like the Hitmen -- Cody and Derrick.
• Keep it up, Michelle.
• Paul solidified his alliance more with Da'Vonne and Nicole. He said he survived the "Messiah" bit and needs to support more level-headed because he's not an idiot.
• Heh. He was in the beginning of the season!
• I expect we'll just see more talk go 'round and 'round until we find out tomorrow night who will be the Head Hamster for the week.
• Tiffany is still the likely one out this week.

Can't wash that BB off of you, Z!

Pillow support

As if she posed just for us!

Sweet baby James? Nah.

Late night pancakes look good!

Oh Mylanta, looks like Frank has gas!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of the Fickle Finger of Fate:

• While they didn't have waffles for breakfast, there sure was some waffling going on in the house.
• Oh, let's keep Tiffany, get rid of Bronte.
• Oh, let's keep Tiffany, get rid of Paul.
• Oh, let's keep Tiffany; she'll target Frank for us.
• But, in the long run, the more things change the more they remain the same -- Tiffany should be the one going out the door this week.
• I think she made some major mistakes which have done her in. First, like Paulie did about Cody, she should have told people about Vanessa -- the family resemblance is very strong and, if you close your eyes, she even SOUNDS like Vanessa. Most of the recruits saw that season only. Her second major mistake was emotions and sleeping/not mingling in the start of the game.
• James warned Da'Vonne that keeping Paul around as the weekly pawn just might pawn his way into the finals.
• But Da'Vonne still has Frank in the crosshairs, as does much of the rest of the house.
• One mark against Michelle in Frank's book is that she idolizes Ian Terry.
• Ian Terry was the one who got Frank out in his season.
• Frank also seems to have disdain regarding Dan Gheesling's BB abilities. 
• He claims that he tried to get them to target Dan, but Boogie talked him out of it.
• @@
• I don't know. To me, the more he talks about those two (Dan and Ian), the more it seems that he's upset that they were hailed as great at the game and he was more known as a constant pawn and competition beast. (AKA -- non-thinking.)
• Paulie gave Corey some incentive to win HoH. Corey's a Have Not and, if he won HoH, they let the winning HoH break Have Not.
• Tiffany still thinks she's staying. No one really wants to tell her otherwise.
• She thinks they'll vote Bronte out.
• To be honest, I personally don't care whichever one goes between Bronte and Tiffany. I guess Bronte annoys me more. But I feel let down by Tiffany. I never expected much of Bronte. I did of Tiffany.
• The talk kept going back and forth to keep Tiffany or not.
• Talk about a vicious circle!
• They enjoyed the yard while they had it because inside lockdown lasts for more than a couple of days for their comp stretch.
• Oh geez ... as I get this finished up for you, they're now talking keeping Tiffany again.
• And on and on it goes.

Those Califiore boys are nicely put together

Telepathically sending out vibes to oust Frank

Like we really needed outdoor chess, too.

Discussing Frank's ongoing demeaning ways

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of A Misogynistic Male:

• Frank and his marionette Bridgette sat around discussing how Paul only wears one tank top and Paulie rarely wears a shirt at all. 
• Meanwhile ... Paulie, Paul and Zakiyah sat around listing the many ways that Frank has treated others inappropriately, both the men and the women.
• But, especially the women.
• Bronte says she would never date Paul because she doesn't like his "image."
• Paul probably wouldn't date a woman who wears little girl hair bows and usually speaks in a fake voice reminiscent of Minnie Mouse on helium.
• Or, maybe it's a chipmunk. I just can't think of a female chipmunk.
• Although they celebrated the night of the Outback dinner, Zakiyah's actual birthday is today.
• She would like them all to wear pink.
• Oh my. And here I thought I liked Zakiyah. I might have to rethink things a bit. I don't own any pink.
• Frank doesn't want Michelle to win HoH because she's too "emotional."
• He probably thinks she would put him on the block!
• But ... Michelle also can't stand Bronte and wants her gone.
• Can't blame her there. That woman has to be incredibly annoying to be stranded with all summer.
• Tiffany tried to scare James the same way he leaps out of places to scare others. It didn't phase him at all.
• Frank thinks he might come across as "bossy" sometimes. Bridgette says it's more like abrasive. I say it's more like: GO HOME SON, YOU'RE STARTING TO REALLY IRK ME.
• Bridgette, for a nurse, isn't taking good care of her sprained (?) ankle. Instead of using the crutches, she's hopping and hobbling around. If she had to participate in HoH this week, her chances of a win in anything physical would be nil. 
• Aw, Paulie and Zakiyah think each other is cute. Why, it's like we're back in grade school!
• Bridgette thinks that Paul and Corey (both recruits) are only there to promote their own businesses/causes -- walking advertisements.
• I don't know. The more I see Paul, the more I see a rather intelligent and well-rounded kind of guy who's hiding behind a bearded "tough" persona. He doesn't bother me. And, for the most part, with the exception of a few things, Corey no longer irks me. He's trying his best. At least both treat the other house hamsters decently without constantly offending them.
• Da'Vonne would like to save Tiffany this week but doesn't think she'll be able to get the votes.
• Who would she rather go?
• Frank!
• But, since Frank isn't on the block, she prefers Bronte go.
• Paulie thinks it's a good time to move on the Oust Frank because Frank is so sure he has everybody in his pocket.
• But it would have to be a true backdoor. If Frank can save himself, he will. That's just about a given.
• Paul told Paulie and Zakiyah that, just because he hangs out with Bronte and Natalie, doesn't mean he wants to be grouped with them.
• Paul seems to make his rounds, hanging out with practically everybody.
• James is willing to throw a comp to get Frank out.
• Paul said that if he slapped a woman's butt in the house, he would expect a punch in the face.
• Good. Men should think like that!
• Paulie thinks that James would never betray Natalie, but Natalie would throw James under the bus without caring.
• He's probably right. 
• With all the talk and scenarios of what might be down the line, it's still looking like it's Tiffany out this week.

Not playing like I thought she would

Gossiping about Paul and Paulie

Just a puppet?

This must be Wooden Spoon season

Give me strength

Snugglebunnies

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Boring Buffoons:

• The big news of the day is that they finally had the PoV Meeting.
• Surprise, surprise ... Bridgette did not use the veto.
• So, her noms -- Paul and Tiffany -- and Road Kill (Frank) nom -- Bronte -- remain on the block.
• Frank went and told Bridgette that he did the Road Kill noms twice, including this week's Bronte nom.
• Since Ms. I Have a Relationship at Home is suddenly smitten with Mr. Frank Flirtsalot, it's all good with her. 
• @@
• Michelle badmouthed Natalie to James.
• Say what?
• Can't she see they have a thang goin' on?!?!
• Frank continues his inappropriate ways, this time commenting on Natalie's nipples.
• What is wrong with that guy?!?
• Bronte and Bridgette are sure that Natalie will be loyal to them.
• Tiffany still thinks there's a chance she might stay.
• Poor deluded gal.
• Paulie told Tiffany that just about everybody's plan for next week is to backdoor Frank.
• I'd say that's probably not Frank's plan!
• Da'Vonne is getting to like Paul ... not that that would stop her from sending him home.
• He is just better to deal with for the women than Frank!
• Frank continued making inappropriate comments to the women.
• Zakiyah doesn't believe that Bridgette is a traveling ER nurse.
• Lots and lots of small talk and "If I get HoH" stuff.
• Yawn. 
• Move along.
• Nothing to see here.

Danger, Will Robinson

Corey looking real Corey-ish

Staying up late

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bodacious Busybodies:

• They still haven't had the PoV meeting! Remember, Bridgette holds the PoV. She doesn't know it's Frank who put her Spy Girl buddy Bronte up. If she takes her down, it's very likely Frank will put Natalie up there.
• They haven't had it because (A) a group had a blocked to live feeds Outback feast and (B) it's Zakiyah's birthday.
• Oh, they danced.
• They celebrated.
• They partied.
• They had a lot of fun.
• But, to me ... that's not what BB is all about!
• May I have a kerfuffle, please? A brouhaha would be very entertaining, too.
• Sigh.
• There was some scheming going on.
• Frank has turned his Tiffany focus (since he assumes she's an automatic out on Thursday) to Da'Vonne.
• But, the main problem with that is that even the guys see that Frank himself needs to be gone and he's going to have to go out via a true backdoor. He can't be able to compete in a PoV.
• Frank doesn't think James would ever put him up.
• I beg to differ. I bet James would put him up in a second as a renom. James likes big moves and that would be epic!
• Of course, James would have to have the power to do so.
• Everything is speculation.
• Frank thinks Da'Vonne is playing a "floater" game.
• Little does he know!
• Michelle apparently imbibed quite a bit during their Outback dinner.
• She was the drunkest dancer of the night.
• They think she should get drunk more often because she's a funny drunk.
• I'm surprised they don't get more alcohol sponsors for the show.
• I'm also glad I'm not there. I would be known as the sick, grouchy drunk because I don't like getting drunk.
• Bridgette and Frank are getting awfully close despite both having significant others outside of the house.
• Their fellow hamsters can't help but notice that, too.
• Besides Tiffany and Da'Vonne, Frank also wants Paulie out as soon as possible.
• Not if someone gets you out first, SON!
• One person Frank does feel he can trust (other than using Bridgette for his own means) is Nicole.
• Heh.
• Meanwhile, Nicole totally sees through him.
• Paulie and Zakiyah still have their friendship/flirtmance going on. They talked about Tiffany going home this week, then (hopefully, if it can get done) Frank out the door.
• Aw, poor Corey's tummy is hurting. It's probably not as serious as Paul's nose ring infection.
• Then Michelle got sick to her stomach ... but her illness is alcohol-related. Hopefully she'll learn these lessons while she's young.
• Corey and Nicole stayed outside talking general stuff until BB called for an indoor lockdown.
• And, that's where we are right now.

Chef Girl

Now, there's flowers in your hair!

I wouldn't mind seeing him win it all

Unlikely pairing

Let's do the Time Warp again!

Hey, Bridgette ... he's using you!
