BB18: Live Feeds into Saturday Evening, Power of Veto - August 27

Lost in thought? BWAHAHAHA!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Goodness and Light:

• Goodness and Light? Hmm. I must have the wrong address.
• Corey is still stuck on what he'll do with his care package bribe.
• BB woke 'em all up to make them pick veto players.
• Nicole drew Victor. Paul got Houseguest's Choice and went for Corey. Michelle drew James. Natalie will host.
• And, there is no one else for the audience!
• Victor seems to have turned the social game for both Paul and himself.
• He's really worked his way into Corey's head and possibly made Nicole forget that James is her friend.
• They're all worried about a double eviction this week.
• We know better.
• The feeds were blocked for the PoV comp.
• But, of course, they all talked afterwards.
• When the feeds came back on, some were still in Christmas costumes.
• It was a stay or fold comp.
• And, the winner was Nicole!
• Apparently, there were reindeer there.
• Real ones.
• Nicole wants to keep the nominations the same and her nemesis Michelle will go home as she (Nicole) is the tiebreaker.
• Paul is trying to make her consider other options.
• She doesn't seem like she'll cave in.
• She says he's definitely the pawn and will stay.
• Nicole says that she and Corey will team up with them (Paul/Victor) after Michelle leaves.
• I know Paul and Victor are using them.
• You know Paul and Victor are using them.
• And, when they get the boot and Paul and Victor are the final two, maybe they'll realize they were using them.

Oh, James ... get your act together!

Studying

He's not likeable, but he is playing the game.

First PoV win for Nicole, either season.

Is her fate sealed? I think so.

BB18: Live Feeds into Saturday - August 27

Definitely expendable to me

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of James, What Have You Done?:

• The quick lowdown -- James GAVE Nicole the HoH win, Corey won the care package allowing him to bribe someone with $5,000, Nicole put Michelle and Paul on the block.
• So, you think that Paul ... the one who has been arguing with Nicole for weeks ... is the target?
• Nope.
• Paul and Victor have wormed their way into Corey's head as his new "ride or dies."
• Thus, Corey stopped being a vacant stare of man and convinced Nicole that James, Natalie and Michelle are not in their best interest for their end games.
• Now, mind you, I don't care if Michelle goes. She's very expendable to me. I don't think she brings much to the live feeds (and thus my entertainment) other than a faux superfan who cries a lot.
• But, if someone is IN the game, they shouldn't want to be going with either Paul or Victor to the end game as both have played the game extremely well and stand a chance of winning.
• ... even though Paul can be so obnoxious.
• The nominations were set up between Victor/Paul and Nicole/Corey before they happened.
• Paul is NOT the target -- he's the pawn.
• If the nominations remain the same after veto, the voting will most likely be a tie unless James or Natalie flip against Michelle.
• If there is a tie between Michelle and Paul, Nicole will vote out Michelle.
• The problems come in with the veto.
• If Michelle wins it and takes herself down, it's quite likely that James will go on the block.
• If there's a tie vote there, will Nicole stick with James whom she is friends outside of the house? Or will she make the move against Paul, thus alienating her This Season's Showmance with Corey and her new buddy Victor?
• If Paul wins the veto and saves himself (or someone saves him), James will go up against Michelle and quite likely could be voted out no matter how much Nicole would prefer Michelle to go.
• I personally fear for James. He just might have ended his game by being the nice guy, trusting Nicole and giving her the HoH win.
• Where does the $5,000 bribe come in?
• Oh, Corey will bribe Victor to vote out Michelle. Or, he'll bribe Nicole. D'oh!
• Maybe not. But they're already making vacation plans. Cancun.
• James and Natalie think the target is Paul this week.
• Paul has been distancing himself a bit from Victor, as well as Corey/Nicole.
• This is all for show, you know.
• Victor is Corey and Nicole's new third wheel.
• If things continue on this course, it will be a Paul and Victor final two.
• And, if that's the case, they'd deserve the win.
• I can believe Corey being taken in. He's not all that bright in the ways of BB. (Perhaps not is some other ways, as well.)
• But James and Nicole, as veteran players, should be working together. Any other cast of hamsters and the veterans would have all been out by now.
• I think both have tossed their chance of winning into the gutter.
• Of course, if the move is made to vote out Paul this week, that would be a game changer for them.

Victor is their new best friend

Doesn't realize the danger he's in

Ready to bribe "someone"

Needs to step up her game

BB18: Live Feeds - Nominations - August 26

This is just a quickie post tonight --

• Corey won the care package giving him the ability to bribe another hamster.
• Nominations are finally in ... Michelle and Paul are on the block.

That's all for now!

BB18: Live Feeds into Friday - August 26

Maybe safe. Maybe not.

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

• For those who didn't read my live posting of the HoH Endurance Comp -- it was down to Nicole and James. Nicole fussed about a letter from home. James GAVE her the win. Nicole is HoH. Victor outlasted the other jurors, so he's back in the house ... yet again.
• Silly boy.
• Had Nicole not taken James's lead by squatting on the ledge, he probably would have won. But he doesn't have a copyright on it, y'know.
• Paul immediately went to work on Corey, pledging allegiance, claiming he and Victor will work with them, have never been sketchy, on and on.
• Now, who could have predicted that would happen?
• Oh. All of us.
• And, Corey's buying what Paul's selling.
• Who could have predicted that?
• Oh. All of us once again.
• Nicole is just as taken. She tells Corey that, no matter who she does put up, it will NOT be Paul.
• We all know the one person she wants out of the house the most ... Michelle.
• Not long after the comp completed, she was saying Michelle or Victor.
• Later, she changed her tune to solely Michelle out.
• But Paul and his parrot Victor are trying to sell James as the sketchy big threat. 
• Mind you, Natalie (of Natalie and James) bought Victor's story pre-eviction that he's not with Paul anymore.
• If these hamsters are gullible enough to be taken by Paul (and Victor), they will deserve to lose to Paul (and Victor), I say.
• Nicole is trying to figure a way to get Michelle out, make Natalie/James and Victor/Paul happy.
• She wants James to stay in the game to go after Paul. Or even, Victor. But, definitely Paul.
• Even though she promised Natalie safety in her deal with James on the wall, her thoughts are to put up Natalie and Michelle, with Michelle being the target.
• She wants to say if she puts up either Victor or Paul with Michelle, she knows that James and Natalie would vote out whichever guy.
• By putting Natalie up, it's more of a guarantee that Michelle will go home.
• Unless, of course, Michelle wins PoV.
• Gotta think about that.
• Corey is definitely more into Paul's pleas to get rid of James than is Nicole.
• He's talked more overnight than he has in the last two months.
• Meanwhile, Michelle thinks Paul's talking about her, demeaning her and being cruel to her.
• So, she cries.
• I'm so over Michelle. If she gets the boot this week, good riddance!
• If Paul and Victor continue on in the game against James, Natalie, Nicole and Corey ... well, they made their bed.
• Paul went on a rant about James and Natalie, wanting to split them up.
• That was to us. With his talks to Nicole and Corey, he was a bit more diplomatic ... but still stressed James and Natalie.
• Well, James did this to himself by giving Nicole the comp.
• It looks like Nicole will nominate Natalie and Michelle, with the target being Michelle.
• It's unsure who would go up if veto is won and one is saved.
• But it very likely could be Jamesy.
• He just might have blown his game.
• Oh, wait. Now Nicole is saying she doesn't want to put Natalie on the block and just needs to convince Paul/Victor that Michelle needs to go instead of James.
• Oh my.

Oh, James ... why? Silly boy.

She got her stupid letter

And Michelle cried

Snake oil salesman at work

We need to make everyone happy except Michelle

BB18: Live Feeds HoH Endurance Comp Coverage - August 25

When the live feeds return, this post will be constantly updated with happenings and screencaps from the live HoH endurance competition.

10:05pm ET - Feeds still blocked.
10:06pm ET - Feeds on.

10:12pm ET - All still in.
Wait -- Da'Vonne and Zakiyah aren't there.

10:16pm ET - Corey goes down.

10:25pm ET - All still in except Corey, Zakiyah and Da'Vonne. Scratch that - Bridgette went out just as I posted. And Paulie ALMOST fell. (Wish he had!)

10:30pm ET - Still just Corey, then Bridgette out, apparently Da'Vonne fell off off feeds, then Zakiyah. And, as the following screencap shows, it's not a good day for mascara.

10:36pm ET -- Paulie, Victor, Paul, Nicole and James still in it.

10:40pm ET -- PAULIE GOES DOWN TO APPLAUSE!!!

10:41pm ET -- Victor goes down, but he's back in the house! (To cheers from them.)

The final three in the comp

10:55pm ET -- Nicole, Paul and James hanging in.
11:00pm ET -- The three still in. Paul looks a bit shaky and is quiet for a change. Nicole looks uncomfortable. James looks solid.

11:10pm ET -- All three still in. Paul seems in pain and having trouble with his right hand. Nicole is a slight bit shaky. James squats every time the wall leans and looks like he could go for hours. Nicole is trying the squat technique.

11:27pm ET - PAUL IS OUT. It's down to Nicole and James. I'm sure a deal can be made.

Nicole is trying the same thing Natalie did with Victor -- "I just want a letter from home." James wants to do a "fourth wall comp." He wants off slop, too. They've already promised each other (and Natalie and Corey) safety.

11:55pm ET -- James gave into her begging and dropped. Grr.

NICOLE IS HOH!
