BB18: Live Feeds into Thursday - August 25

Likes to prank her Jamesy

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

• The more things change, the more they remain the same.
• Paul is still telling lies that he'll work with Nicole and Corey if/when Victor is evicted.
• The truth there is as James sees it ... Paul will work with whomever holds the power as he'll be a lone wolf in the game.
• Meanwhile, Victor is trying to convince Michelle and Natalie that he'll work with them, he's not cool with Paul anymore, yada-yada-yada.
• He claims, if he stays and wins HoH, he'll nominate Nicole and Paul.
• Now, both Natalie and Michelle would be happy with the Paul nom (that in reality won't happen if he stays) and Michelle would be overjoyed with a Nicole nomination.
• But, of course, Paul and Victor are still cool and these are their attempts to keep Victor in the house.
• James sees right through them and had separate talks with Natalie/Michelle and Corey/Nicole.
• So, they're all onto them.
• They're not holding the efforts against Victor. He's been approaching them respectfully, pleasantly and generally being a good guy in the house.
• On the other hand, there's Paul.
• Remember ... Paul is Victor's "social game."
• Poor Victor if he had had to depend on that!
• Paul's lies to all are evident to all.
• They're nodding to him, but they all know what he's doing.
• In a talk with Corey/Nicole, James once again said that, after Paul goes, it needs to be Michelle.
• Nicole wants Michelle out mainly because she knows Michelle is trying to get her out.
• "If I get evicted, I want it to be strategic, not personal emotion," says she.
• There is a lot of speculation about the upcoming care package. They're all guessing wrong.
• Paul and Corey have been making separate begs for the package.
• At this point, it looks like most agree with James that the numbers and dateline don't support a returning juror.
• They're wrong there, too.
• I can't see James's vote changing. It will be Victor going out tonight. 
• But who will be coming back in?

They're playing us. Victor needs to go.

I like you, Victor.

I'd target Paul and Nicole. (Yeah, right.)

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - August 24

Not resting comfortably

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

• For the second day in a row much of the early day was taken up by Paul talking to himself ... er, us.
• I don't know.
• I can't listen to him that long.
• They've been on indoor lockdown since yesterday. The HoH comp must be something elaborate. Perhaps a wall. I dunno. Neither do they.
• Paul has been mingling (with a purpose) better today, not fighting with people.
• He and Corey talked about how stupid Paul was, bragging about how he had unprotected sex with Zakiyah even though BB has condoms available.
• Now, I don't watch the feeds to see sex.
• I'd rather they have an epic water balloon fight with the condoms!
• Both Paul and Corey think they've been having anxiety attacks.
• Paul is worried about having a heart attack. If memory serves, he's 22 years old.
• @@
• Victor has been mingling just in the hopes that being fun and entertaining might give him a thread of hope to stay.
• Paul's mingling is more to get Nicole and Corey to play with him, thinking that Victor will go home.
• He's telling lies and half-truths to them about Michelle and Natalie (and throw a James in there now and again).
• One of his latest Michelle rants is that she called him an atheist. He's upset his Armenian Christian family will hear it.
• Um. Okay. Apparently the profanity he spouts is fine with them.
• Victor tried to get Natalie to confirm that James is voting for him to stay.
• She said James is playing his own game and she doesn't know how he's voting.
• Yeah, right.
• Natalie later asked James if she wanted to keep Victor, would he do that?
• He answered with the expected question -- Do you want to keep Victor?
• She thinks that Nicole has been talking about her and is having doubts.
• She put pressure on James, telling him she'd vote the way he wanted if he asked her to.
• Hmm.
• (I'd personally say the only real problem of keeping Victor -- other than the fact he could win the entire game -- is that, by keeping him, you have the Paul and Victor tag team. That's way too dangerous!)
• James isn't giving in. He KNOWS evicting Victor is the right thing to do.
• After many rounds of discussion, Michelle, James and Natalie are all in agreement that Victor needs to go.
• And, with that, I need to go.
• Tomorrow's another day.

On a new mission to pull in Nicole/Corey

He's smiling again. Is it programmed?

BB18: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 24

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 -- please join in on the fun there as we watch the show together!

But, first ... we must sit through the recap. 

Ohh! Heated words ahead? Not quite as interesting as fisticuffs or an outright brouhaha, but I'll take it. 

Natalie wants Paul out. Victor tells Paul that he (Victor) is a pawn and "they" want Paul gone. Paul confronts Natalie about being called a liar. He demands everyone come to the kitchen. Natalie walks away and he starts on Michelle.Heated words ... "You all suck at this game" -- Paul.

Nicole and Corey go to celebrate dance in the storage room.

Paul tries to deflect and get Nicole and Corey in hot water. Paul makes Natalie cry because she feels bad about nominating him. Michelle thinks that power makes him even more dangerous. 

It seems that Natalie feels that she was indeed manipulated by Nicole and Corey. Paul and Victor perpetuate that. Michelle isn't falling for it. James isn't, either. He wants a final four with Natalie, Corey and Nicole.

Paul confronts Nicole that she said he's a liar and manipulator. He tells her that she's the reason he's on the block. Heh. Corey comes running through shedding his patriotard laughing in the middle of the argument. 

"We were bamboozled, primarily by you two, mainly you," Paul to Nicole.

Red Alert time for secret agent Paul. Good timing, BB. That would be the last rounds for him, his job is done.

Storm Watch Update on the screen in the living room. Superstorm Glenn, Superstorm Jodi. Paul and Natalie are studying together. Gah. Stuperstorm Jozea. Oh, I mean Superstorm. Nicole and Corey aren't into the studying. Uh-oh. Paul is the only one staying up for all the warnings.

Veto player picks -- Paul chooses James. Michelle chooses Corey. Nicole will host.

Natalie is irked at Paul for taking over the HoH room and bed. She's thinking more about getting Paul out with the latest. 

Okay, the veto has them auditioning for a position on the BB Storm Weather Team. They read a teleprompter and insert the storm name in the blank. The most points wins. They're doing it in a wind/rain storm tunnel with blowing inflatable sharks and all.

Corey - 15
James - 13
Natalie - 20
Natalie - 10
Paul - 21 (Perfect score)
Victor - 19

Paul wins the Power of Veto. He wants Corey up and out.

Michelle wants to put Nicole up. Everybody else wants Corey. It will be Michelle's decision as Paul was her nominee.

Veto meeting time. Paul saves himself (of course). Michelle puts Corey on the block in his place. She loves everybody, y'know, but it's a strategic decision. Corey is sure he'll still be around. Michelle wants him out over Victor. But, at the end of the day, it's James's decision.

Victor mingling

Y'know ... I really have nothing. Last night's report could suffice for this morning.

At least there's a show tonight!

Paul with no Friendship, none at all

Victor and his buddy Baldwin

Look! It's an expression!

Oh, Jamesy!

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!
