BB18: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - August 23

A thrill a minute in the house today

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Napping Ne'er-do-wells:
  • Again today, a whole lot of napping went on.
  • The HoH camera came to play. Such fun!
  • Yawn.
  • Paul is still holding to his No Friendship With Michelle agenda.
  • What little mingling he did today, he badmouthed the girl.
  • Michelle is still on her Avoid Paul gig.
  • Victor is trying to hold hope that either he isn't evicted or he comes back in a "jury buyback."
  • James thinks the twists with people returning are over.
  • We know that one's wrong!
  • Corey is getting anxious. Very odd -- he looks the same anxious as he does relaxed.
  • Paul went on a rant about Michelle in which he said he's ready to leave, sick of cameras on him 24/7 and he just wants to tell her off.
  • Hmm. Maybe he can unsave himself and use the veto to save Corey?
  • Just a thought.
  • When asked if he was going to campaign, Corey told Paul that he's just going to let James do whatever he's going to do and not bug him.
  • Remember -- there are only three votes this week -- Paul, Nicole and James.
  • WE know that James has already confirmed with Nicole and Corey that he will vote Victor out.
  • But no one is telling Paul that.
  • James said he will tell Victor before the live show.
  • But I think Victor already senses it, as does Paul.
  • Victor is acting well, mingling, have fun conversations with others (including Michelle).
  • His "social game" (hahahaha!) Paul is pouting, ending Friendship and almost to the point of pulling a Paulie without tears.
  • Victor and Corey both took turns with the Swiffer, cleaning up.
  • That's about all I have for you tonight.
  • I never said this would be legendary.
  • Did I?

HoH camera ... and fun was had by all

Baldwin for HoH!

Queen of intense facial reactions

Looking Christine-like. Ew.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Failed Friendship:
  • I don't have a heck of a lot to report for you today.
  • So, you get more screen caps!
  • Michelle spoke how much she admires Amanda Zuckerman. She also likes Christine. I never cared too much for either. If those are her choices of fantastic BB players, I can't think of her as any sort of superfan.
  • Paul continues to alienate any friendship he had with Michelle, Natalie and James.
  • Well, he can be annoying! He needs to stop thinking he's all that. Because he's not!
  • More information into Michelle's self esteem issues -- she says she almost had a breakdown over weight and food addiction issues. I do see her eating a lot. But I also don't see that she has any sort of serious weight issues. 
  • Oh. And BB Superfan Michelle said she stopped watching BB17 on the 1st of August last year. Pshaw! That is NOT a superfan! Superfans stay through at least the backyard interviews!
  • Paul is mad at all the girls for various reasons.
  • That's okay. They want to avoid him anyway.
  • He just can't stand Michelle!
  • The feeling is mutual.
  • I say -- issue them boxing gloves! We need fisticuffs!
  • Michelle says she'll do another "famous call-out" on Paul on Thursday if he doesn't win HoH.
  • Paul thinks they'll all gang up on him if Victor goes this week.
  • Y'think?
  • Bwahaha!

James at the pool, but not in the pool

You don't prank well, Corey

Kissyface

Not kissyface

He knows he's probably going

Can't mix up those HoH robes!

James is surrounded!

BB18: Live Feeds into Monday Evening - August 22

I'm seeing no friendship here

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hapless Hamsters:
  • Paul thinks this coming care package will be the "mother" of care packages. So, he wants to see friendship from America and be the recipient.
  • Let me know how that goes, kid.
  • Actually, if enough show only viewers vote, he just might get it. They don't have to put up with him on the live feeds.
  • The veto meeting was relatively early for them. It's a wonder they were out of bed.
  • Despite the fact that she'd prefer Nicole out for personal reasons (and her idea that Nicole will "skate" to the finals), Michelle put Corey on the block when Paul saved himself with the veto.
  • Michelle has developed a Paulphobia. She doesn't want to be anywhere near him.
  • Of course, he was her original target.
  • How will she achieve Paulvoidance? 
  • Apparently by hogging the bed in the HoH room day and night.
  • She's not avoiding Victor. He even told her that putting Corey up was the better strategic choice.
  • Paul and Victor plan on telling Michelle that Corey, Nicole, James and Natalie have a final four pact.
  • Um, unless she's blind, she can see that. She might have to win HoH, not have it fall out of the sky!
  • Paul is sure that unless he wins HoH or veto this week, he's a goner next week.
  • Well. Yeah, that's about right!
  • Interesting ... Victor said he had to speak to a psychiatrist before they let him re-enter the house.
  • Now, if one has to talk to Paulie if he wins re-entry, he just better mention that claustrophobia issue!
  • Victor cleaned the kitchen and played pool. He mingled.
  • Paul had little to no friendship.
  • He tried talking to Nicole and just irked her and got no satisfaction.
  • Victor is holding out hope that he can get James to save him.
  • I doubt it.
  • James would save him if it was Paul on the block with him though.
  • No friendship there!

Cool enough for the bunny hat

"Paulie planted seeds."

I'm a re-nom. What's a re-nom?

BB18: Live Feeds into Monday - August 22

Holding onto safety ... for now.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dwindling Numbers:
  • No real action in the late night hours.
  • No kerfuffles.
  • No brouhahas.
  • Certainly no fisticuffs.
  • Mostly small talk went on, with a few revealing bits and pieces.
  • Y'know, Paul is so great ...
  • ... how great is he?
  • Why, he's so great that he doesn't think there's any problem if he texts and drives?
  • Attn: Police departments all over -- be on the lookout for this!
  • Victor seems to know he'll be the one going out the door.
  • James is worried that he might go up as a replacement nominee.
  • If he did, he'd have Nicole and Corey voting for him to stay. Victor would only have Paul.
  • If the scenario is Corey on the block, James and Nicole would vote to keep him. Paul would vote for Victor to stay.
  • If it's Nicole on the block, just substitute Corey and James for keeping her.
  • Whatever scenario plays out, only three people can vote.
  • And Victor goes home.
  • The main reason James is worried is because Michelle mentioned possibly putting up Nicole as the replacement with the line that she hasn't been on the block yet.
  • Of course, she's telling this to James ... who also hasn't been on the block.
  • Natalie advised James to please come to her for advice and not to have any one on one talks just before nominations. 
  • She thinks he only gets himself in trouble when he does that.
  • She's right. While James has been playing a quiet game, he's occasionally spoken up and exposed his cards at inopportune times.
  • Michelle seriously needs to stop calling herself a superfan.
  • She just doesn't qualify as such in my book (and the book of many who have seen every episode and watched the live feeds since the first season).
  • I think she perhaps has three or four seasons under her belt.
  • That's no superfan.
  • Paul told Victor not to say anything confidential to Michelle because she'll run and tell "them."
  • Hey, why would Victor care now? Paul will save himself, not Victor.
  • Not that I'd blame him for saving himself.
  • Victor talked about getting up at the veto meeting and saying, "Friendship."
  • Victor tried to tell Michelle that if she put up Nicole, he (Victor) would go home. But if she put up Corey, he (Victor) would stay.
  • I don't think so. Victor is too great of a target (no matter how much people like him) in the game. All scenarios lead to him going home.
  • I think Paul and Victor both know that and they're grasping at straws.
  • James put in a request for America - "Please send Corey the next care package, not Paul."
  • Who knows what the aired TV show fans will do?
  • They might think Paul is a hoot and want to reward him.
  • Yeah, he can be funny. He can be interesting at times. But he's also very annoying.
  • So, they can send a package to either a dullard or an annoying guy.
  • What a quandary!
  • Victor kept trying to get closer to Michelle. Um, dude ... she has no vote this week and Paul ain't you. She doesn't like Paul at all and he will save himself this week.
  • Victor went on about truth in the game and how he'd rather know than not know if he's the target.
  • James told Natalie that he'll tell Victor on Wednesday that he's voting him out.
  • Of course, we all know the real target was Paul this week.

Yes, I can laugh. I cry, too.

We wish it was Paul going away

You need to listen to MY advice, James!

Reminiscing about the early days of BB18

BB18: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - August 21

Needs to get his game on!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bamboozled Bros:
  • Nicole and James talked about how much harder this season is than they had expected.
  • No, it's not summer camp, Nicole.
  • James thinks if the next care package comes to Corey, it will show that America thinks Paul and Victor are villains.
  • Hmm. I think America might think that of Paul. Victor? Not so much.
  • James, Corey and Nicole want to target Paul and Michelle next.
  • That is, if they themselves get through this week intact!
  • On the whole, the day was rather uneventful.
  • Lots of talk from Natalie, Corey, Nicole and James about Victor going home and final four plans.
  • Victor put on a fun, albeit a bit adult, puppet show with Baldwin.
  • That was the hit of the day for me!
  • Paul, of course, is scheming to get Michelle to put Corey on the block.
  • Not that she needs much convincing, mind you.
  • Michelle locked the door of the HoH room to take a nap and wouldn't let anyone in ... not even Natalie, the person who won the role!
  • Victor cleaned the bathroom.
  • He can come over here and clean mine, too!
  • It's pretty certain that Michelle is going to put up Corey as the replacement nomination as it seems that move will create fewer problems in her own game.
  • The James/Natalie/Nicole/Corey plan is to act like Corey's going home ... like James and Natalie have turned on him, then Victor goes home.
  • They really wanted PAUL out.
  • This week, James is the swing vote. He will definitely vote to keep either Corey or Nicole rather than Victor.

Oh, he's just so cute. Just ask Nicole.
