BB18: Live Feeds into Saturday, Road Kill Nominee - July 16

The revolution will not be televised

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bemoaning Backstabbers:

• So ... after Tiffany wins Road Kill, who does she run and tell? (Besides us via cameras.)
• Why, her nemesis FRANK, of course!
• She's gone a bit over the rainbow crazy on them all.
• She thinks the others set her up just to spite Frank, so now she wants to work with him.
• He is so sure he was never a dictator, yet claims Paulie is.
• Hey, like many other situations, if you try to rule the world, you're gonna fall.
• Paulie et al (Corey, Nicole, Zakiyah) are sure that Frank's just faking it and he won Road Kill again, not Tiffany.
• After all, there's no way SHE could win it!
• It is a bit suspicious that Frank's been tossing the names of Corey and Nicole to be split apart.
• But, not really, when you consider that Tiffany has joined the Frank Camp.
• For the time being, at least.
• Yeah, the Road Kill nominee is ... drum roll ... COREY!
• Corey, who hasn't won not a single comp to date, is determined to win the Power of Veto and get himself off.
• However, if he does ... will she put Nicole in his place?
• Another mess in the house is that they're all still trying to figure who voted for Bronte and who voted for Tiffany on Thursday.
• Winning Road Kill will not give Tiffany any kind of safety. All it gives her is a choice of a third nominee. 
• She can go for someone who's a bigger target and hope they go.
• Or, she could go for someone she thinks she could beat.
• With the Corey choice, it might be a mix of the two. The girls might be more likely to vote a guy out and Paul seems on the innocuous side at the moment. There has been sentiment (not just Frank) about breaking up the Nicole/Corey couple. As for comps, Corey hasn't won anything yet. He MIGHT win a physical comp, but his size sometimes might work against him, too. He's also a recruit and knows little of the game.
• I guess we'll just have to see how he does in PoV!
• Michelle is playing a bit too dangerously. She's playing up to both sides. She's not that good at it.
• Tiffany is being all but ignored by most.
• She thinks Paulie bullied her.
• James says he talks to her just to be cordial and because everybody leaves when she comes in a room.
• Frank is upset that Corey seriously thinks he put him on the block. Y'know, they're buddies ... he wouldn't do him like that!
• Paulie told Corey that, if he wins PoV, he'll pull Natalie off. He thinks that Tiffany has no chance against Corey. But, does he realize that Nicole would probably go up?
• Hmm.
• Paulie is sure that Da'Vonne will go up in Corey's place.
• Hmm.
• Da'Vonne and James both think that, if Corey leaves, they'll have Nicole back in their camp.
• And life goes on.
• The PoV should be later today.
• It's Tiffany, Natalie and Corey on the block.

Wanna get a hairnet for that beard, please?

Category 4 keeps the target off of her.

At the end of the day, it is what it is.

Someone's watching you, James!

Corey and his RBF

BB18: Live Feeds Bulletin - Road Kill Winner - July 15

It's a shocker!

Welp, after several hours, the live feeds returned.

And, Tiffany is mumbling to herself about winning the Road Kill Comp and pondering who she'll put up. Remember, the Road Kill winner cannot nominate anyone in Category 4 this week. So ... Paulie, Michelle, Bridgette and Frank are off the table for noms.

BB18: Live Feeds Friday, Nominations - July 15

Morning primping

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Misfit Toys:

• As I expected, Paulie's nominations were Tiffany and Natalie.
• His target is Tiffany.
• He really, really, really wants her out.
• Really.
• Tiffany's speech last night on the live show didn't help her in the game.
• Now she feels all kinds of betrayed.
• So, she cries.
• Nicole is scared of her.
• @@
• Now, that's going a bit too far.
• But, the latest is that now Tiffany wants to work with Frank to go after those who led her along.
• Oh, geez Louise.
• Da'Vonne tried to tell her that aligning with Frank wouldn't be good for her at all. 
• Tiffany went through several "I want to self-evict" rants.
• But she's still there as I type this up.
• Or, at least, I think she is. The feeds are blocked (probably Road Kill) right now.
• Paul tried to console.
• She hates this game.
• Hey, she knew better than many what she was getting in to coming into the house!
• All Tiffany is doing is solidifying the animosity towards her in the house.
• Paulie is feeling all kinds of smug in an "I told you so" sort of way.
• Da'Vonne think that Paulie, Corey, Nicole and Zakiyah are running the house and need to be split up.
• Um. Yeah, this week they are. Last week Frank and Bridgette ran the house and it backfired on them.
• It's BB and those things happen.
• What's James doing in all of this?
• Probably playing all sides a bit too much. He's kind of in with everyone and no one (except Natalie) all at the same time.
• That's probably going to catch up with him.
• The 8-Pack split its seams. The Fatal Five had a fatality (the divide between Nicole and Da'Vonne keeps growing wider). 
• Paul is in with both Frank and Paulie.
• Paulie wants Frank out, but Frank doesn't really know that.
• This might be an interesting week ahead!
• I've been trying to wait out the Road Kill before posting this.
• But the feeds have been blocked about five hours. I'll post a later announcement when (if) we hear the Road Kill results.
• Of course, if the person keeps it secret, we won't know until the nomination comes in.
• So ... right now, it's Tiffany and Natalie on the block and I need to eat a late dinner.

Morning pimping? Nah.

Dazed and confused

It's good to be Paulie's girl

Home alone? Nope!

Let's hear it for Rutgers! (It's near me.)

BB18: Live Feeds into Friday - July 15

But she has James!

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

• Frank is all in a tizzy? 
• Who flipped on him? (They all deny it.)
• "What? Dictator? I never acted like a dictator!"
• He told Da'Vonne the only reason he was ever after her was because Nicole said she was after him.
• Da'Vonne told Frank that Nicole was too scared to flip.
• And on.
• And on.
• Meanwhile, Paulie has found out that Tiffany did try to get an all girls alliance going.
• Of course, he can't nominate any one from his own team (Category 4).
• So, that means that Frank, Bridgette and Michelle are safe.
• Everyone else is fair game.
• Frank did his finger-pointing well into the night.
• Paulie told James that he isn't all that tight with either Frank or Bridgette.
• If not for the teams twist (which needs to go away!), I think that Paulie might strike out in that direction.
• Alas.
• Paul is sure he'll be on the block again. He said, if he isn't and he wins Road Kill, he'll put himself on the block.
• Heehee.
• Frank told Da'Vonne the only one he really trusts is Bridgette. 
• Frank and Da'Vonne surface make up and hug.
• But that's not real.
• She's still after him and he knows she was lying to his face.
• Paulie was one originally after Tiffany to go. He voted for Tiffany to go.
• So, will he put Tiffany on the block?
• Hell, yeah!
• Plus, using her as a target doesn't put him in the position where he gets major blood on his hands ... or something that goes awry like the Frank/Tiffany thing last night.
• He told Tiffany he doesn't want her coming in his HoH room. He's sure she'll be butting into every conversation.
• Then again, she just might sleep a lot!
• Among the doubts cast, James and Natalie's names came up.
• Now Paulie is leaning towards getting Natalie out.
• Corey tried to convince Frank it was all Bronte's fault she got voted out -- she caused her own demise in the house.
• Yeah, you had nothing to do with it, Frank. :::cough:::
• Paul again pushes an anti-Tiffany agenda.
• After all, he wants someone to have a much larger target on them than he does. Even though he's made a point of mingling, he's still a remainder (and reminder) of the Jozea/Victor fiasco.
• Nicole is once again running scared. She's in the middle of the Frank/Da'Vonne rift. She doesn't handle the stress well and she's such a sucky liar!
• Corey is really trying to rationalize the anti-Frank movement to Frank and why people turned on him.
• He's doing it in an effort to fix things.
• I didn't really expect that from Corey. Huh. A bridge over troubled waters. Who woulda thunk it?
• Meanwhile, back in the HoH room, Paulie and Nicole talked. He still wants Frank out, but cannot do it.
• He doesn't know that Nicole agreed to a Corey/Frank/Bridgette final four alliance.
• It appears that Nicole is safe from Paulie's noms.
• Tiffany cried.
• She told Nicole she feels everybody is talking about her.
• Well, YEAH. They are. That speech was a bit much too much and now you're staying in the house and you're stuck with it, Tiff.
• Of course, Frank himself has himself believing that that speech swayed a few people Tiffany's way.
• He's wrong on that. They already were swayed.
• Tiffany is now getting on everybody's nerves with her crying, odd behavior and accusations.
• She's guaranteeing that she will be the target this week and her people who had been behind her are now wishing they'd voted her out.
• So, I'd say one of Paulie's nominations will definitely be Tiffany. The second is still up in the air -- Natalie's name came up a lot -- but that would be the pawn.

Their fate is in his hands

Maybe safe? Maybe not.

Will the tables turn on her this week?

Safe through circumstance

Let's get this show AWN!

Before going into recap, Julie told us Frank and Da'Vonne were two "powerful players, each with their own agenda."

The action resumes after the PoV meeting and Frank gloating about it. Paul feels secure. Bronte thinks that Tiffany is the target because the "whole house" wants to vote her out. Da'Vonne thinks Tiffany staying might be the best option. She tells James. He thinks, if they had enough votes, it might work. He's not happy with Frank's behavior. They need five votes. Michelle thinks it would be better send Bronte packing. Nicole is agreeable to it. Zakiyah says okay.

Uh-oh. Zakiyah suggests Bronte out to Paulie. He thinks it's not a good idea. He thinks Tiffany can win things. (What has she won so far?) Corey feels along the same lines as Paulie.

Going into commercial, Julie tells us the returners have started to turn on each other. Well, duh.

Frank tries to drag Nicole in to say who she wants targeted. She thinks he wants Da'Vonne out. Frank tells Nicole he has her back.

Frank tells Bridgette they'll go after Nicole and Corey down the road, but maybe an alliance with them ...? Frank tries to get Michelle on the anti-Da'Vonne Train.  He tells Michelle that Nicole is also in on getting Da'Vone out. Michelle tells Da'Vonne and Nicole denies it. Da'Vonne sees through Nicole.

Back in the Bronte Out Plan, they look like they're getting Corey and Paulie.

Time to vote! The nominees speak ...
Paul - Have not, block three weeks, time of my life, want to stay.
Tiffany - Dictatorships rarely work out, talks about dictator (Frank), cow manure, gas ... would target dictator and Cabbage Patch Kid
Bronte - Not in the habit of being mean, thank you all.

Votes to Evict:
Frank - Tiffany
Natalie - Tiffany
James - Tiffany
Into commercial ...
Michelle - Bronte
Nicole - Bronte
Zakiyah - Bronte
Corey - Bronte
Paulie - Tiffany
Da'Vonne - Bronte

Five to four, Bronte is evicted. Frank and Bridgette both visibly cringe when Julie announces it.

I think Bronte got the first laugh out of me from her all season. When Julie told her about the Battle Back, Bronte said, "I'm glad I wasn't snooty on the way out!"

HoH Comp time. Yesterday they saw, sixteen photos of the evicted hamsters in "Europe." They had to study them.

Euro Tripping is the name of the comp. True or False questions. Last HG standing, new HoH with team safe.

Corey, James, Natalie, Zakiyah, Paul out on first question.
All right on second.
Tiffany, Michelle, Da'Vonne out.
Paulie wins HOH!

So much for getting Frank out. Frank, Paulie, Bridgette and Michelle are all safe.
