BB18: Live Feeds into Thursday - July 28

Nah, no one's back there. Y'think?

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

• Even though Frank will be leaving tonight (unless he comes back). everybody is paranoid that he's not.
• Da'Vonne keeps planting seeds that Nicole and Corey can't be trusted.
• Paulie's "leadership" is in doubt.
• James and Da'Vonne are worried that Paulie will vote to keep Frank and oust Bridgette and the house will flip last minute.
• Paul grows more obnoxious by the day. For a well-educated guy, he's turned into a foul-mouthed little bully with nothing to back it up.
• Zakiyah thinks that Nicole is flirting with Paulie and doesn't like it.
• Remember, a week or two ago, Zakiyah thought Michelle was flirting with Paulie and didn't like it.
• All the jealousy without reason is wearing thin on Paulie.
• Natalie told James that she can't trust Nicole because something she said in confidentially to her got back to Bridgette.
• But, then again, Natalie has always been closer to Bridgette than she has been to Nicole. She'd rather Bridgette be in the house longer than Nicole.
• Da'Vonne told Paulie that Nicole is saying she (Da'Vonne) is throwing her (Nicole) under the bus.
• Well, duh. She is and has been!
• Da'Vonne is paranoid because she heard Corey said more attention should be on her rather than him and Nicole.
• Paulie told Da'Vonne that is being said only because it was brought up if Bridgette wins HoH, she'd nominate Nicole and Corey.
• Meanwhile, Nicole is whispering stuff about Da'Vonne to Paul.
• And, on it goes.
• Paranoia the destroyah!
• The house seems to be one pitted against the other throughout, yet it's fairly certain it will be unanimous or close to it for Frank to go home tonight.

Spending the last of their time together.

She's safe. For now.

Da'Vonne continues to plant seeds to him

What? Someone is behind the mirror?

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - July 27

No pranks from him lately

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

• Once again, there was a whole lotta napping going on today.
• Natalie cleaned the toilet stall room. She keeps complaining about how disgusting it gets and no one cleans it.
• She ended up going wild through the whole bathroom on a cleaning spree.
• Yep, we're paying to watch this!
• She told James that she would remain loyal to him and that Frank has been trashmouthing Bridgette to her.
• Of course, we all need to keep in mind that she's friends with Bridgette and Frank is an obstacle to the friendship.
• I haven't really seen Frank actually talking trash about Bridgette at all. I might have missed it. 
• Natalie also told James she would expect him to campaign to stay if they were both on the block.
• Aw, ain't that so sweet!
• James doesn't think they'll be on the block for a while. He thinks there are bigger targets in the house for the others -- Nicole and Corey, Paulie and Zakiyah.
• Natalie told him she think Nicole is playing dirty.
• Yeah, she is. But she's also playing pretty dumb.
• James has been having problems with his arm being numb and tingling since the HoH comp. Apparently BB has called a doctor for it.
• I couldn't have held my arm up for six hours without it falling off.
• Victor cooked up some expired by two days turkey.
• They must get the stuff at the same dollar store where they purchase the arts and crafts things.
• Da'Vonne told James about Nicole's betrayal by making final two/four plans with Frank plus Bridgette and Corey.
• He didn't get excited, said he already knew all about it. 
• Da'Vonne also told Paulie that Nicole and Corey were working with Frank and Bridgette.
• Unlike James's reaction, now Paulie is more on board with Da'Vonne going home sooner rather than later.
• He, of course, brings Paul into it. Paul, of course, backs him up and says, "Yeah, Da'Vonne must go!"
• Corey told Paulie he wanted to call Da'Vonne out on it.
• But Paulie isn't quite as anxious.
• (You'd think that Corey would know that they were working with Frank and Bridgette and it's the truth! Silly boy.)
• Paulie thinks that if Bridgette wins HoH, she'll nominated Nicole/Corey. That's why he thinks she needs to go before Da'Vonne.
• Frank told Nicole he's fully expecting to go tomorrow night. He told her not to take anything in his speech personally -- it's not about her.
• Paul and Zakiyah talked about Nicole playing all sides of the house.
• He said that if he gets HoH, he just might put Nicole and Bridgette on the block.
• Paul also talked to James and Da'Vonne about how suspicious both Nicole and Corey were acting.
• Corey wonders why their names keep getting thrown around.
• Paul told Da'Vonne she needs to win HoH tomorrow and get Nicole out. He can't win because he promised to get Bridgette out.
• ::: cue organ music here :::

Da'Vonne tells James dirt on Nicole

How she's playing this season

Oh noes! It's the Vulcan mind meld!

No, he's not crying. I'd pay to see that!

But it's an honor to be voted out, Frank.

BB18: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 27

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!

Oh! A recap to start out the show! How exciting! Heh. 

Okay, we pick up after the nominations ceremony. Frank knows James went with the house, but claims James has no backbone. Bridgette is upset because James lied to her. Bridgette cries. She says "freaking" a lot in the Diary Room. She usually uses another F word all the time on the feeds,

Zakiyah, Paul, Nicole and Da'Vonne dance in the storage room.

Frank goes to James and tells him he expected to go on the block, but feels bad about Bridgette. James tells him that his name is in with every fight in the house. Frank claims all kinds of goodness and light. He points towards Da'Vonne. 

Time to pick PoV players! Back to the old method post-Road Kill. They each pull a chip. James gets Michelle. Bridgette picks Da'Vonne. Frank gets Nicole. 

Time for the veto comp. Natalie is hosting -- it's a big festival with water slides, laser beams an OTEV frog. 

James tells us he's throwing the comp so he doesn't get any more blood on his hands. Sure enough, he's out first. Da'Vonne is out next -- she didn't throw it, just couldn't find the right disc. Nicole goes out next. Frank is out. Bridgette doesn't make it.

Michelle wins the Golden Power of Veto!

After the clean-up, Frank goes to Michelle. He tells her the fans like big moves, house flips, veto used. She's not acting receptive. She tells him if he throws Bridgette under the bus, she'll use it. He won't do it. He tells her that Bridgette is the most loyal persona in the house. She likes him and had wanted to work with him. She tells him it's the house. He says flip it.

The rest all invade the room to break up the talk. 

Paul confronts Frank.  

James calls a house meeting. It includes the nominees. Paul starts leading the talk. Frank says he wants it used and Da'Vonne go up. Da'Vonne says it won't be used.  Paulie tells Frank the numbers aren't on his side and stop looking like an idiot. Frank thanks Da'Vonne and Paulie for having a backbone and leaves the room.

Bridgette tries to connect with Michelle. She feels attacked by Michelle. Michelle tells her roughly that she (Bridgette) stole Frank from her.  

Veto meeting time! She gives them a chance to make a plea.
Bridgette - Nice, respect, do best for your game.
Frank - Why waste my breath?

Michelle does not use the Power of Veto. Bridgette and Frank remain on the block.

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - July 27

Just messin' with nails while worlds collide

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of A'lying Alliances:

• The most interesting developments of the night came in the morning here on the East Coast.
• Y'see, Frank has been playing the "dead man walking" card with Bridgette, telling her that he's not campaigning to stay, knows he's targeted and all.
• Yet, he has been talking to people trying to scramble to stay.
• Well, Da'Vonne and Zakiyah told Bridgette some of the reasons they want him gone, including the butt-slapping incidents.
• It turns out that Bridgette had no clue exactly what that was all about, nor how angry people were about it.
• Frank had told her people were just trying to make him look bad.
• And she believed him.
• Just as she believed that he would never campaign to stay at her expense.
• She feels betrayed and hurt by him.
• That's just what they want.
• Paul had an extended talk with Frank, telling him that he (Frank) belittles him and makes people feel uncomfortable.
• Frank denied all and said that he never said Bridgette was ready to go home.
• Practically everybody (except Michelle, who's scared) has visited poor little Bridgette to offer her support.
• It looks like the latest has sealed the deal -- Frank might be going unanimously tomorrow night.
• As I type this up, Paulie is talking to Frank. He told him that everybody is hovering around Bridgette and she feels he (Frank) has been campaigning against her.
• He calls Frank a "legend" and "my bro." 
• Frank keeps telling him that he's not worried about it. The Bridgette being upset at him? His going home? What's IT, Frank?
• Now that I think of it, Paulie hasn't really been involved in the consoling Bridgette times. He came in, listened for a bit and left.
• Paulie has been adamant all along about not liking Bridgette.
• Huh.
• Maybe there will be one vote for Frank to stay.
• Then again, he could be blowing smoke.
• Too bad Frank doesn't have mist or he could stay in the game.
• Frank says the Diary Room makes him feel like ____ because he hasn't been trying for votes.
• The saga goes on ...

Paulie needs to keep that bandana on.

Frank's been lying to me?!?!?!

You belittle me, Frank. (Someone has to.)

I'm waiting for them to turn on each other

A happy Day ... for now

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?
