BB18: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - July 26

But can he win a comp not thrown to him?

Here's the latest from that Big Brother House of Melancholy Mice:

• After the rush of excitement with the clues, secret room and envelopes, today was the calm after the storm.
• Sure, none of them trust each other.
• Sure, some of them even strongly dislike each other.
• But, it generally wasn't a day for kerfuffles.
• Da'Vonne tried to pump Michelle wondering if there's been any talk of flipping the vote.
• "The vote" would be the plan to evict Frank.
• They all sat around talking about each other, most of it in the negative.
• James got his HoH digital camera. You know the next line ...
• ... And fun was had by all.
• Although Victor has been playing a bit better by laying low, he's irking them all with his eating habits. The ice cream is almost gone. He made like five pizzas one day. And, the dude just eats too much and cooks too much.
• Paul the Recruit who watched a part of one season before going in the house, thinks Natalie has no clue about the game and contributes nothing to the house. He wants her out.
• @@
• Paul thinks Victor is dumb for sharing the code to get in the room with Nicole and others.
• Paul thinks he's the greatest thing to ever grace us with his presence.
• Just ask him. As a matter of fact, he'd be willing to share that information without being asked!
• Zakiyah told Nicole that Da'Vonne's been opening up to her a bit more, but she still doesn't really trust her. (They had a falling out last week or so.)
• They explored more around the secret room, but the envelopes were the only treasure to be found.
• BB wised up and blocked the code from working so they can't hang out in there.
• That's about it for now. Lots of small non-game talk or repeated already fantasized dreams of HoH and who needs to go home.

Frank hasn't given shout-outs to his girl lately

Not being a Zany Zakiyah

What is with the fake eyeglasses every season?

I did have hopes for her ... no more

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

• As I mentioned in my last update -- Michelle did not use the veto and they all (I think) have envelopes from the secret room. ONE of the envelopes contain a RETURN TRIP TICKET which will allow the bearer immediately back in the house if evicted. They aren't allowed to open the envelopes until evicted. Paul was the first one to figure out the clues.
• Bridgette can't convince Michelle that she didn't say something about shaving her eyebrows off while she slept. She can't convince her because she can't convince herself. She thinks it's possible she said it.
• So, Bridgette thinks all the girls bully her.
• Nicole's playing both sides is catching up to her between Da'Vonne and Frank planting seeds that she can't be trusted.
• She continues to cling onto Corey like he's some sort of lifeline. 
• The latest is that she's all upset that Corey didn't give her the code to get into the secret room and she had to figure it out for herself. (Actually, Victor helped her.)
• @@
• Why oh why did she get involved in a showmance?
• You can tell that Corey does care for her as a person. But there's nothing really much more to it. It won't last a week outside the house.
• The conspiracy theorists will have their day until Thursday ... beyond if Frank has the return trip ticket. Even Paulie is theorizing that BB will swap envelopes with Frank so he stays.
• Bridgette cried.
• Michelle cried.
• Oh, save your drama for your Mama, sunshines!
• Well, maybe not your Mama Day. She would easily turn it around to use it against you.
• Speaking of Da'Vonne, Paulie is a bit worried that things he's said to her will be used against him.
• Michelle cried and cried. And cried. Bridgette won't accept her apology. She really likes Frank and has done him wrong. She's being portrayed badly. And on and on.
• Poor Michelle. She's the superfan who should have known what she's getting into, right?
• By being the first to figure out the code to the room, Paul now thinks he's even more all that and a bag of chips. His ego diminishes his beard.
• Zakiyah thinks that Nicole is becoming more distant with her, as is Paulie. She tells Da'Vonne this. Hmm.
• There are all kinds of bad feelings due to the room. Many were asleep when the clue came over the screen about it. They're mad because the ones seeing it didn't wake them up. Others are mad because people wouldn't just give them the code.
• @@
• Michelle thinks that Victor is one who wants to be in control. It seems to me many of them want to be in control -- Frank, Paulie, Paul, Da'Vonne.
• Nicole and Corey made up. For now.
• Bridgette and Michelle, not so much.
• It does look like it will still be Frank walking out the door Thursday.
• But ... as Stephen King said, sometimes they come back.
• Heh, heh.

Are the eyebrows still there? Peek, peek.

Likes to be in charge

Still a target, but playing much wiser

Apparently, I'm an a______. Well, yeah!

How I feel right about now

Here's the latest from inside the Big Brother House of Crashing Cards:

• Michelle and Bridgette talks, ostensibly to smooth things out.
• That didn't go so well.
• It became heated words about how Bridgette was scared of Tiffany, how Michelle leaves the room when Bridgette enters and ... Eyebrow-Gate.
• I never really caught the start of that on the feeds. Either Bridgette or Tiffany said they were going to shave Michelle's eyebrows while she was sleeping.
• Michelle says it was Bridgette.
• Bridgette says it was Tiffany.
• It kept going on to the point where Bridgette started yelling, "Why do you hate me, Michelle?!?!?!"
• @@
• Bridgette told Michelle "everybody" was talking about her (Michelle's) appearance.
• Things were no better between them, probably a bit worse, by the time the kerfuffle frizzled out.
• With Bridgette going off a bit, Natalie is worried that she might say things about her.
• Then Da'Vonne had to get all caught up in it, telling things Bridgette has said.
• Gah. 
• When the feeds returned after the veto ceremony, there were no surprises.
• Michelle did NOT use the veto. Frank and Bridgette remain on the block.
• Frank is sure he's the one who will be voted out.
• He told Bridgette, if she wins HoH, nominate Nicole and James.
• What? No Da'Vonne who has been his target for a few weeks now?
• Nope. They made up.
• Now Da'Vonne is on the Oust Nicole Train with Frank, bad-mouthing Nicole.
• Though, they're right -- she's been playing both sides of the house. And, she's a bad liar and can't cover her tracks well.
• James told Paulie that Bridgette (it came from Frank originally) said Nicole is "flip-floppy." Paulie thinks that originally came from Da'Vonne.
• James warns the Pauls (Paul and Paulie) to watch their backs around Da'Vonne.
• Everybody needs to watch their back around Da'Vonne, I say!
• Since these hamsters aren't smart enough to really examine all the travel stuff, BB had to make an announcement on the video screen that clues are all around them.
• Yeah, that's for the secret room.
• Paul figured out the clues first.
• It has to do with dialing numbers on the phones, getting a message and going through a red tunnel to a room.
• Once there, he got a card. It tells him that there are 12 envelopes, more than one person can enter the room. In ONE envelope, there's a special prize.
• It's a RETURN TRIP TICKET. If voted out, he/she can come right back in!
• The envelope holders cannot open their envelopes until evicted.
• It took a while, but I think everybody got one.
• Da'Vonne commented, "Figures. The week Frank is set to go home."
• Let the conspiracy theorists start in now.
• We won't know until we know. If memory serves, the envelopes are only good for the next four evictions.

"You can't trust Nicole."

Yard time

James warns Pauls to watch their backs

Hard to tell where beard ends, tattoo begins

Nicorette

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap:

• They made up for sleeping all day Sunday by being awake all night!
• Frank kept campaigning for the veto to be used, Da'Vonne to go up and out in either his or Bridgette's place on the block.
• His bubble got crushed, though.
• And, Paul did it. 
• The feeds were actually interesting, for the first time in days!
• It was same old, same old ... until Paul.
• What did the bearded boy do?
• Well, he called a house meeting which had almost everybody in attendance.
• He claimed that he can't understand why people can't just be honest and let Frank know that the veto won't be used and Frank will be the one going home this week.
• A hush fell over the crowd.
• First, Da'Vonne spoke up to Frank.
• They talked back and forth and ... guess what? They're not really enemies.
• Finally, Paulie chimed in and agreed with what Paul said about Frank going home this week.
• Frank now understands there is no point in trying to campaign and get folks on the Oust Da'Vonne Train this week and thus driving himself crazy.
• He's bummed.
• Bridgette cries.
• This will mean that she's going to be in jury with all those MEAN girls!
• Before the meeting, she was trying to campaign for the Oust Da'Vonne Train.
• Later, Frank told Zakiyah that he hopes Da'Vonne believes what he told her about Nicole during the HoH comp.
• He says he had his only final two deal with Nicole, but now he knows she's a snake.
• Zakiyah is pretty much playing dumb to all of this as if she had no part in any conversations with anyone whatsoever.
• Bridgette, in addition to using the F word every other word, is also into the uneducated "you know what I'm sayin", "you know what I mean" phrases in between the cussing. Does she have some kind of street people background we don't know about?
• It all seems so incongruous coming from the Cabbage Patch Kid. (Gosh, I wish I had come up with that descriptor for her!)
• Oh, they did get the yard back.
• Paul claims that he was tired of watching both Frank and Da'Vonne getting hurt and going through such hassles when it could all be laid out on the table. 
• In a way, he's right.
• But, that said, I don't think Frank is just going to sit and take it.
• He's already bad-mouthing Nicole.
• As I type this, a group is in the storage room -- Michelle, Paulie, Paul and Zakiyah -- and Zakiyah is making Paulie's weird haircut weirder by parting the fluff in the middle and putting pins to hold it. Ew. I can't bring myself to screen cap it.
• That's it for now!

Fridgette

Oh my. What have I done?

No one would vote me out ... this week

You know what I'm sayin', you know what I mean?

So far, much better in the game

I called this meeting!

BB18: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - July 24

Quad cam - 1pm their time

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

• Gah, they slept most of the day!
• BB TRIED to wake them up early.
• Some had stayed up, made breakfast, ate and then it was back to bed.
• Bridgette claims she'd rather go home than be stuck in jury with the girls.
• Da'Vonne has been trying to get closer to Michelle than she has been all summer so far.
• BB once again, around 1:30pm their time, tried to get them all up and moving.
• They're still on indoor lockdown as the yard is put back to normal.
• Well, as normal as anything in that house can be!
• Nicole warned James that Frank wants him to have Michelle use the veto and put Da'Vonne on the block.
• Well, duh.
• I think he realizes that.
• Nicole told Michelle that Frank told her that he had talked to her (Michelle) and she would use the veto.
• Michelle denies it ... vehemently.
• Frank told James that everybody is down with voting out Da'Vonne.
• James remains noncommittal -- he'll go with whatever the house wants.
• Now, of course, that also means he's down with everybody wanting Frank or Bridgette out.
• Obviously, he doesn't hold the veto, nor does he have a vote. He's done his part. He put them on the block. It's up to them now.
• James told Da'Vonne once again that he won't put her on the block.
• Bridgette continues to think the girls are bullying her.
• Zakiyah tried to tell her otherwise.
• It's actually kind of hard to bully someone who either avoids them or exiles herself with Frank.
• As of right now, it doesn't look like Michelle will use the veto.
• But, it's going back and forth which one goes between Bridgette and Frank.
• It's leaning towards Frank, but it could go either way.

Quad cam - 3pm their time

I'm tired of Frank!

Talks way too much

At least Corey's hair is quasi-normal

Frank isn't always frank about things.
