BB18: Live Feeds Overnight into Tuesday - August 9

Never pick your nose on camera

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

• Hey ... to start this off ... has anyone seen ANY of the HoH blogs this season? The hamsters keep talking about them and I'm not finding them this year. I see the tweets, but not the blogs. I can't even find them in a Google search -- only the ones from previous seasons.
• That aside, a good portion of the awake time last night was spent discussing breasts, real and fake.
• I won't go into detail. I don't care. 
• They played pool.
• They played chess.
• Both are as boring as the breast talks were.
• Paulie told Zakiyah that, if not before, Michelle sealed her fate today by blowing up someone's game.
• Of course, he has always preferred Zakiyah stay.
• So he's happy that he's influenced the rest of the house to his will.
• Once again.
• Zakiyah told Paulie that she'd like to put Victor on the block. After all, he was gone and shouldn't have come back.
• And ... she doesn't know why he put her on the block!
• In other news, Natalie put sea salt in James's water because he deserved it.
• Okay, I can go with that one.
• Natalie also told Bridgette it was Paulie's decision that James put her on the block with Frank.
• Bridgette is still of the mind that James did it and he didn't have to go along with the others.
• But that seems to be the name of the game the last several seasons. I'm tired of people going with the house and house votes.
• We all know that the house is actually divided. They shouldn't be sheep unwilling to play their own games!
• Speaking of which, I fully expect James to jump in soon. He did the same thing last year, sitting back for some time, then winning. Alas, his competition was too great. This year, the chief problem is Paulie. As obnoxious as he's become, the guy can win just about any competition he wants to win. Someone (likely James) needs to rise up and lead the charge to get him out of the house or just sit back and have BB write him the check.
• They're sheeple, I tell you ... sheeple!
• Natalie really tried hard to flip Bridgette into trusting and working with James. Now, that would be a good game move in my mind.
• Bridgette told Natalie that Paulie told her he doesn't really want to win HoH this week. Good. Maybe someone who will make the big move will win!
• A bit of an unconfronted rift is developing betwixt Paul and Paulie regarding Paul talking about the couples in the house and Paulie being one of said couples.
• Will Paulie turn and set his sights on Paul and Victor next?
• I can see it eventually coming that they will turn on each other -- Paul and Paulie.
• Technically, both have already turned on Victor and labeled him expendable, use and discard.
• Nicole thinks Paul makes up stuff in his never-ending storytelling.
• Y'think?!?!
• Nicole is also a bit concerned about Zakiyah not seeming all that upset that Paulie didn't save her with the veto. She thinks Zakiyah is a very needy person, always wanting someone to do things for her from preparing her food to giving her comfort.
• (Says the woman who seems to be using BB to find a husband.)
• Paulie told Victor he wants Zakiyah gone ... after Michelle, but before Nicole.
• As it stands, it looks like Michelle will go to jury on Thursday. She claims she'll "blow up" Paulie's game on the way out.
• But, even if she does, there are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

She knows Michelle is gunning for her

Has she no pride? All over Paulie once again.

Not sure which is more boring - chess or pool

BB18: Live Feeds into Monday Evening, PoV Meeting - August 8

He's trying too hard to be a "character."

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

• There wasn't much action at all until a fairly early PoV meeting.
• While the live feeds are blocked for that, the results are always talked about soon after they return.
• Welp, Paulie didn't save anyone with the veto!
• Zakiyah and Michelle remain on the block.
• Michelle furthered her "boys alliance" theory to Zakiyah as a reason the veto wasn't used.
• But then Paul goes and lies right to her face saying that he didn't think the girls would go on the block this week.
• And ... she believes him.
• She tells Paul that, if she stays and wins HoH and it's a double eviction this week, she won't put him on the block.
• And, she'd be willing to be put up as a pawn if needed.
• @@
• Dang. She claims to be a "superfan."
• They obviously don't build superfans like they used to!
• Michelle also told Paul she wouldn't put Victor or Bridgette up either.
• Hmm. I know she wants Nicole out. I guess that's one she put on the block.
• The other? She's claiming a big move. 
• Paulie?
• Hmm. It does seem like she meant him.
• Well, she's not likely to win anyway.
• When Paul told Paulie of the conversation, he made no mention that Michelle might be thinking of nominating him (Paulie).
• Paulie wants to target James in the second eviction if it's a double.
• They don't know for sure it is. But we know.
• Paulie says it has to be an all guy finale because "the girls will vote for whatever girl is there."
• @@
• Zakiyah reported to Nicole that Michelle is claiming she'll make big moves and hinting she'd target Paulie if she stays.
• I don't know. To me, that would be more reason to keep her and evict Zakiyah!
• But, then again, Michelle doesn't do well in comps.
• Michelle once again told Natalie not to trust Nicole. I don't know why she has such a bug in her bonnet about Nicole.
• Paulie still seems to want Michelle out this week even though, by not using the veto to save her, Zakiyah just might not be his number one fan anymore.
• Victor pointed out to Paul that Paulie is working steadier with the other duos in the house and they're alone. (He wants Michelle to stay.)
• Paul nodded.
• As it stands right now, it looks like Michelle will go out the door.
• There is a bit of confusion and talk about what James will do with his care package power of cancelling two votes.
• I think he'll do whatever the majority wants with them.
• But I really hope he goes for the HOH in the second one. He will need it. His name is getting tossed around too much.

Up early and all alone. Sniffle.

Now that I didn't use the veto ...

Her save thoughts flopped

How did I get myself into this mess?

BB18: Live Feeds Overnight into Monday - August 8

Friendmance more than showmance

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

• Paul has been wearing that inflatable duck around his waist all night.
• It's not any sort of punishment meted out by BB for anything.
• It's just his cry for attention, methinks.
• No wonder he hasn't attracted any sort of showmance attention this season, right?
• Since they slept away most of the day on Sunday, most have been up all night.
• So, they'll probably sleep most of today away with the exception of the PoV meeting.
• Paul kept pushing his Oust Zakiyah agenda on and off to whomever would listen. 
• He knows Paulie would prefer Michelle go. 
• Most of the house would prefer Michelle go due to her crying jags and unpredictability.
• Both Paul and Paulie have been trying to convince James to do their will with his two vote cancellations power.
• Hopefully, James will do what James wants with that power. I only wish people had held off and waited to give him the immunity package.
• Oh, geez. Nicole got jealous because Natalie touched Corey.
• We're in junior high school here, folks! 
• While others are worried about a double eviction looming ahead, Know It All Paul doubts they'll do it until the One Way/Single Return Trip tickets end.
• Tons and tons of small talk conversations overnight.
• I don't really need Paul's advice on what to feed my cat, thankyouverymuch.
• Paulie and Victor talked about backdooring James. Oh noes!
• Of course, Paul and Paulie have also talked about backdooring Victor recently.
• Talk, talk, talk.
• Paulie wants Michelle out this week, Bridgette next. He thinks that Bridgette has Natalie thinking there's a guy alliance.
• Nicole believes in Paulie.
• Silly girl.
• They need to backdoor him or just hand him the check early to get it over with.
• She and Corey are on board with ousting Michelle this week instead of Zakiyah.
• She doesn't quite go along with Paul so much anymore.
• Will the Zakiyah/Michelle conundrum break apart Paul and Paulie?
• Hmm.
• We can only wish.
• Victor is still hoping the nominations stay the same. He doesn't want to be in the position of having to put anyone else up.
• It's unsure at this time whether Paulie will save Zakiyah with the veto or not. He wants her to stay and it appears he probably has the votes to do so if she remains on the block.
• Michelle herself seems to be hinting for a Bridgette replacement.
• We'll see what happens.

Wonders why women aren't attracted to him

Clinging to Paulie once again to keep safe

Listens a lot, makes many facial expressions

Note the time on this, they'll sleep all day

BB18: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - August 7

As exciting as it got today. Paul got ducked.

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

• Sigh. We're in the doldrums once again.
• Nothing really goes on during Sundays.
• They sleep.
• When they're tired of sleeping, they eat.
• When they're tired of eating, they nap.
• Rinse and repeat.
• BB didn't even attempt to wake them up until 11:30 or so their time.
• My day seemed half-over by then. (I'm running three hours later than they are. It was 2:30 in the afternoon here.)
• Victor and Paul talked. Victor's final six would include himself, Paul, Michelle, Corey, Bridgette and Paulie. 
• Paul nodded.
• I don't think his final six would include Victor if his talks with Paulie have been true.
• Nicole told Paul she'd prefer Michelle out this week when he asked her.
• He told her that they should try to get Zakiyah out since they have a shot at her. Michelle is more likely to be easier to get out later.
• Nicole agreed.
• Honestly agreed or not, I don't know.
• Later on, Corey and Nicole talked. He told her he's not sure why Paul is pushing for Zakiyah to go this week rather than Michelle.
• Meanwhile, Paulie kind of wants Zakiyah to stay and Michelle to go.
• And, he holds the Power of Veto.
• Corey thinks Paul is putting a target on his back by pushing a Zakiyah eviction.
• We know he has a duck on his back. Maybe it's an euphemism for target.
• Both Corey and James think Zakiyah is more level-headed and most likely wouldn't put either of them on the block if she won HoH.
• It seems the majority of the house wants Michelle out. But Victor and Paul want Zakiyah out.
• Hmm.
• And the beat goes on.

Two good reasons I'm not a cougar

Michelle and Bridgette small talk

Zakiyah remains slim no matter what she eats

BB18: HoH Comp Completion, Nominations Episode Blog Party - August 7

Hamster watchers ready?

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!

Ah, the recap is over. Let's get this show going! We pick it up with the comp. Julie tells them they can squat, but not sit on the discs. Zakiyah feels betrayed because she thinks Paulie blindsided her with the Da'Vonne vote. Paulie knows she's upset. He won't come down until after she does because he's afraid of what might happen.

The five guys form an alliance called the Executives. Obviously, before the comp started.

Internet trolls come out to attack them on the ropes. James is out. He gets "beat down" by three trolls. Bridgette is out next. Corey is out. So, there are the three Have Nots.

Nichelle is vomiting while spinning on her disc. She's down. She cries. What else is new? Nicole falls, thankfully not in the vomit puddle. Zakiyah comes down, quickly followed by Paulie who has no worries except from Zakiyah. She's onto him.

It's down to Victor and Natalie, both want to see photos from home and hear from their mothers. Finally, after he promises once again she's safe, Natalie drops.

Victor is the new HOH. Natalie cries. 

Paulie promises us that he'll get in Victor's ear and Victor will make the nominations he wants. 

Zakiyah cries to us from the Diary Room. In the bathroom, Paulie tells her to relax. 

Paul, Paulie and Bridgette meet up. She's willing to work with him in gratitude for not going home. But, of course, she's NOT an Executive. She's more the cleaner lady.

Michelle cries more. She's sure she will be going on the block. 

Victor tells Paul that Da'Vonne whispered "they will put you up in a double eviction." He doesn't know the "they." We know the "they." It's his buddies, Paul and Paulie. 

The Executives hold a meeting. They talk about putting Zakiyah up. Paulie can go either way. He says in the game she's a detriment to him. 

Nicole goes for damage control with Michelle. She tells Michelle that Da'Vonne was going to put up her (Nicole) and Corey. Michelle cries some more.

Paulie talks to Zakiyah. She asks him if he fell on purpose. Paulie wants to keep her calm so she doesn't blow up his game. 

James tries to reason with Michelle. No way. He now wants her out because he knows she can't be trusted. He talks to Paulie about it. Now Paulie is thinking it would be better for Michelle to go rather than Zakiyah.

Special delivery! It's the care package from the skies! It's for James. Underwear, socks, aviators and the power to eliminate two eviction votes at the next eviction. He's thinking it might put him in a spot and is a bit nervous about it.

Nominations ceremony time! He nominates Zakiyah and Michelle, surprise! Nine to one, he says ... the votes on his eviction night. He says Zakiyah would put him on the block. Michelle, clear to see, yesterday wasn't the day to piss people off. He gives them New Orleans beads, Michelle breaks down and cries.

Then she cries to us. And cries some more.

Paul wants Zakiyah out. Paulie wants Michelle out and wants to use James's power to do it.
