BB18: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - August 2

When you smile, the whole world smiles with you

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Boring Bad-Mouthers:

• The big thrill of the day was that the HoH camera out to play.
• And fun was had by all.
• Or most.
• Or some.
• Bridgette and the boys fussed as they cleaned the kitchen.
• You realize they live with slobs ... and ants.
• That seems to be the norm from season to season.
• Paul thinks his "fans" will greet him with calls of "Friendship!"
• Um. No. Maybe I'm just not a fan. I'm kind of sick of it. 
• James told Nicole he was thinking of throwing a sympathy vote for Da'Vonne to stay.
• He doesn't want her to go unanimously.
• Nicole warned him that would be dangerous. And, they know she has at least two votes going her way -- Zakiyah and Michelle will vote for Bridgette to go.
• James said Natalie will vote with him whatever he wants.
• He later told Natalie that it's Da'Vonne going this week.
• She feels sorry for her, but will vote with the majority.
• I tell ya ... it's boring.
• James also said that he intends to put Nicole up on the block (if he gets HoH) when Natalie complained that Nicole kept throwing her under the bus.
• Now, he's told others differently.
• Just earlier he told Nicole, etc. that he would nominate Bridgette and Victor, didn't matter who won PoV or if used, one would go home.
• I've said it before -- Da'Vonne is no BB dummy. She knows the backdoor is coming.
• She asked James to please tell her so that she could enjoy her last few days in the house.
• He played dumb. "Well, gee. I don't know. I'll check and get back to you."
• @@
• That's all for now. I think I have to go watch some paint dry.

BB18: Live Feeds into Tuesday - August 2

The thrill is gone.

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

• The ruse goes on.
• The Backdoor Da'Vonne plan is in full swing.
• Michelle, Zakiyah, Natalie and Da'Vonne probably realize deep down inside that that's the plan.
• But, with their rose-colored glasses and the lies people keep telling them, they think there might actually be an Evict Bridgette Plan still running.
• Oops.
• They're wrong.
• Paulie has assured Bridgette they have the votes to keep her.
• The Rose-Colored Glasses Bunch do think Bridgette isn't acting nervous enough.
• Da'Vonne also wonders whatever happened to the plan to get rid of Victor as soon as possible since he had already been voted out.
• Don't worry, Day. That will be coming. 
• Once they get rid of all the women in the house, that is.
• Victor, for as close as he once was with Paul, has lost flavor with his old bud. Paul has adopted Paulie in his place.
• Victor and Paulie whined and fussed about how sloppy the girls are in the bathroom and kitchen.
• Michelle says Paul stole her plan to wear the HoH robe all the time when HoH. She says he's a copycat.
• Well, Michelle ... first you do have to win HoH. You realize that, right?
• Mostly amicable small talk into the wee hours.
• Corey and Nicole are cuddling, snuggling and whatever together.
• James must be asleep, as is Victor.
• Da'Vonne, Michelle, Natalie and Zakiyah are in the bathroom basically not talking game.
• Paul and Paulie are playing pool, not talking game.
• And, I'm out ... for now.

Yeah, Bridgette will be going this week!

We're so pretty

You think they're going to pick us off?

Oh my gosh ... where's his robe?

They said the plan is still on. Hmm.

Eek

BB18: Live Feeds into Monday Evening, PoV Re-nom - August 1

Sad cowgirl

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

• Zakiyah asked Nicole why Da'Vonne kept asking why she (Z) couldn't go on the block (as a pawn, supposedly) instead of her (Da'Vonne).
• Well, duh, Da'Vonne ... they want to backdoor you, silly girl!
• Paul went and told Da'Vonne that she would go up in place of Paulie when Paulie pulled himself down with the veto.
• I thought they weren't supposed to tell people these things. Haven't they looked it up in the rule book or been spoken to about doing the very same thing in past seasons?
• Or, have I lost my mind?
• (That's always a possibility.)
• Michelle isn't happy that Paul is putting Da'Vonne on the block.
• Hey, she should be happy that it's not her!
• But, neither Michelle nor Da'Vonne are all that dumb at the game. I think they can both sniff out a backdoor here.
• Part of the reason that Michelle is ticked off about it is because, when she did what they wanted and didn't use the veto last week, they promised her it would be Bridgette going out this week.
• Da'Vonne wanted to know why it couldn't be Natalie instead of her. Or Nicole.
• Because they want to backdoor YOU, Da'Vonne.
• So, there was no real suspense over the PoV meeting.
• Paulie took himself down.
• Da'Vonne is now on the block with Bridgette.
• Paul kept up trying to convince Da'Vonne that Bridgette is still the target.
• Yeah, right.
• Because Paul went and told her beforehand, Da'Vonne didn't go off the wall crazy.
• As for the Backdoor Da'Vonne Plan -- the people involved are Paul (no vote), Paulie, Corey, Nicole, Bridgette (no vote), James (will go with the crowd).
• Not privy to the plan -- Da'Vonne (no vote), Zakiyah and Michelle.
• I think things will heat up a bit before Thursday ...

Macho Macho Man

Keep the mandana on, Jersey Boy

Why me?

Oh, Paulie. Your hair looks so stupid.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dizzy Dames and Dudes:

• Paul and Paulie want to get closer to Michelle and Nicole to get intel about each other from them.
• Paul and Paulie have decided they need to be the final two and only totally trust each other.
• They feel the only other two in the house they can trust to any extent are James and Corey (if not for his Nicole connection).
• I notice they didn't bring up James's Natalie connection. They obviously don't think of her as a threat.
• I also notice that they don't have Victor in the mix there.
• They feel he might blow things up for them.
• Paul thinks that Zakiyah is suspicious. 
• He's also worried that Da'Vonne just might run around telling tales once she goes up on the block. 
• What Paul might better worry about is the fact that most of the fans mock him and he'll be a good candidate for the Witless Protection Program after the season ends. 
• Paulie has his own suspicions about James. He thinks that James is throwing comps and playing a Derrick game -- winning only when he has to.
• Michelle told Zakiyah that Paulie is "becoming Frank."
• Hey, he was becoming Frank since the beginning of the season, I say!
• Zakiyah and Michelle are worried that Bridgette will stay and win HoH, them go after the girls.
• Y'think?
• For a change, Nicole was a bit close-mouthed when Zakiyah and Michelle asked her if she'd vote out Bridgette. She gave a noncommittal "if that's what the house wants" answer.
• Then Nicole ran to Paul to report that Michelle told her they need to keep Da'Vonne in because Bridgette would put Zakiyah and her (Michelle) on the block.
• She told him that she played dumb like anyone could be going up on the block and they needed to stop acting sketchy.
• Lots of small talk went on. Michelle thinks they're all so smart because they all have college degrees. That doesn't say much for the state of college education these days, does it?
• Paul continues the guise of asking for replacement nominees. Michelle said that she would go up if she had to.
• She's thinking Bridgette is still the target.
• Paul obviously wants Da'Vonne to volunteer to go up, thus getting less "blood on his hands" when she goes out the door. After all, she volunteered and he didn't have a vote! Good luck with that, Beard Boy.
• Da'Vonne?
• Where is Da'Vonne?
• She wasn't around much at all with anyone in the late night hours.
• She probably thinks not being around people is the only way to control her mouth.
• It should be interesting after the PoV meeting today ...

What? No HoH robe? Put out a BOLO!

BB18: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - July 31

Breakfast small talk

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

• It was your typical boring Sunday in the house with a few strategic discussion exceptions.
• The "boys" -- Paul, Paulie and James -- talked more about getting the "girls" shot down one by one ... and using Bridgette to do it.
• James piped up that Natalie isn't a threat to anyone in the game, making a case for keeping her around as long as possible.
• Paulie did not say the same of Zakiyah ... another one who's no real threat.
• The Backdoor Da'Vonne plan is in full motion with almost all aboard.
• Not aboard are Da'Vonne (d'oh!), Zakiyah and Natalie to an extent.
• Da'Vonne has an idea that something might be going on and keeps trying to talk to people, including Bridgette.
• She's getting very paranoid.
• She's still pushing a Backdoor Nicole plan and thinks it might be a possibility ... but is very nervous.
• She cried to Zakiyah about it.
• Meanwhile, in the HoH room, Bridgette and Paul had a long long talk.
• Well, Paul talked more than Bridgette did.
• But you know that.
• It goes without saying.
• But, like Paul, I said it anyway.
• He informed her of the Backdoor Da'Vonne plan. He told her that he had vowed to get her out this week, but would accept what happens as the will of the house. And, he's willing to work with her.
• She said what he wanted to hear -- she wants to work with the guys to get the women out.
• Bridgette told him that Da'Vonne keeps popping up where she is and has been trashtalking Nicole.
• Bridgette also told Paul that it was more Nicole and Frank talking while she and Corey chillaxed during their brief working together stint.
• Both she and Paul think Nicole has been a bit shady, but not like Da'Vonne. 
• In another Paul talk, this one with Da'Vonne, he lied to her and told her she should have no worries if she goes on the block in Paulie's place. In that one, she sold out her buddy Zakiyah even.
• If nothing else, Da'Vonne's actions have made her probably the most disloyal person in the house ... out of many disloyal persons.
• No fisticuffs, no kerfuffles, some tears but no hysterics.
• And, that's how the day went.
