Let's get this party started!

Recap, recap ...

Tonight, Frank and Bridgette will be torn apart ... or will they? (Referring to the secret room.)

Michelle is fussing about Bridgette. Whining. Poor baby. Frank advises Bridgette to win HoH. Bridgette tells us she doesn't have many friends in real life and Frank is her friend. Michelle tells Frank that if she used the veto on him, nine people would be mad at her. She bursts into tears.

James notices clues on the screen in the living room, "clues are all around you." Paul picks up on green words on certain signs in the rooms. He links it to flight 211 on the departure board. He calls Paris on one of the two phones. In the booth, he is told to go into a tunnel now or leave the booth and try when the coast is clear. Since there's a crowd, he runs out. He warns James and Corey to keep Frank and Bridgette away from the phone booth. Paul goes into a red tunnel. He gets a clue that there are 12 envelopes, one containing a round trip ticket to return into the game if evicted. They must remain sealed and cannot be exchanged with other hamsters. All of them end up with an envelope.

A segment on past partners in the game. Jason Roy thinks Da'Vonne needs to cool down a bit. Meg talks about James. She thinks James needs to watch out for Da'Vonne. Hayden talks about Nicole. They dated for about a year and a half, still friends. Boogie talks about Frank. He thinks Frank is playing a horrible game, shouldn't have told people about winning Road Kill.

Uh-oh. Julie tells us that we at home can have a major impact on the game. Hmm ... maybe we'll be allowed to duct tape Paul's mouth shut!

To the living room ...
Julie explains the tickets. August 18 is the expiration date on them.
Statements:
Frank -- Family, love ya. Bridgette, class act, favorite people. The opposite applies to the others, sorry not sorry, never want to see you.
Bridgette -- All goodness and light speech.

The votes to evict:
Da'Vonne -- Frank
Paul -- Frank
Paulie -- Frank
Nicole -- Frank
Victor -- Frank
Michelle -- Frank
Zakiyah -- Frank
Corey -- Frank
Natalie -- Frank

Unanimous ... Frank is voted out.

His envelope contents will be revealed to the entire house (and us) after commercials.

Inside the envelope is a ... one way ticket home!

HoH - Perfect Shot. Red ball and yellow ball, roll red ball up the creek into the box. Can practice with yellow ball. The ball might fall off into a numbered box. If no one gets a perfect shot, the highest score wins. If the red ball goes out of play, player out. Four lowest scores are Have Nots.

They're practicing. This is going to go over the showtime. I'll set up a separate post to update and announce HoH.

America's Care Package -- Can send one hamster a care package with an advantage, first one has a Never Have Not pass. Each hamster can only win once.

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
