BB18: Live Feeds into Sunday - September 4

What? I'll be on the block next week!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Want a Waffle With That?:

• Okay, we all know Victor is HoH and he wants James out with a passion. After all, it's James who last evicted him.
• But, if Victor is HoH, we all know that Paul is HoH.
• It should go without saying.
• Corey won veto.
• We didn't see the veto comp itself on the live feeds. It was obviously a dirty veto comp and physical.
• They all talked about how Michelle would have done poorly in it.
• But they got rid of her.
• I guess Natalie gave 'em a run for the money in the veto.
• Now Nicole is pushing for Natalie to go instead of Victor's prime target James.
• Oh my.
• Paul took up her cause.
• His reasoning is that Natalie has come close to winning against Victor in more than a few comps. James has not done as well. Plus, if they pull a total blindside and evict Natalie on Thursday, James will be alone and bereft going into the HoH comp and lose.
• Corey is agreeable to it all.
• Victor is reluctant. But we all know he'll do what Paul wants until Paul puts that knife in his back for the win.
• In other news, Corey won a trip to Atlanta in the veto comp. How special is that?
• And, it yet other news, remember that Victor took Natalie aside and told her that she would be going on the block but wasn't the target this week? Well, James keeps telling her that once Victor sets his sights on a target, that's it.
• Guess what?
• Victor doesn't have a vote this week -- Corey, Paul and Nicole do.
• Victor is sure that, if James stays and wins HoH, it will be him and Corey on the block.
• Nicole thinks that, if Natalie stays and wins HoH (a better chance than James winning), she will be on the block and go home.
• Victor doesn't think Natalie is any threat to him while James is.
• But it's not his vote, not his decision.
• Meanwhile, James still feels the need to protect and mollycoddle Natalie.
• SHE HAS RUINED YOUR GAME, JAMES!
• Sheesh.
• Natalie turned on James, saying that she knew she would be going home and suggesting that James and Nicole had an alliance.
• She roughly threw James under the bus to the others.
• Keep in mind that no one has confirmed the "blindside" to her. She just suspects it.
• All along, James is sure he's the target.
• It's a lot of days between now and Thursday.
• We'll see.

The new target? Shh ...

Well, her hair always looks like that.

Will he stay? Too soon to tell, I say.

BB18: Live Feeds Power of Veto Winner - September 3

Nicole didn't win

Another day of doldrums. Another day of James being stupid, telling Natalie that if won veto, he'd take her off the block.

It doesn't matter.

Corey won the Power of Veto.

Goodbye, James

At least Paul didn't win

Yes, Corey won PoV

BB18: Live Feeds into Saturday Morning - September 3

Cap'n Crunch from the box

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

• Yes, pain.
• Pain because all involved in the HoH comp have sore hands and little cuts on their fingers.
• Pain because I'm watching them do nothing but cook, eat, and play dominoes.
• Pain because Natalie keeps fussing that she will miss James, can't win comps and no one talks to her (other than James).
• Pain because James keeps showing compassion to Natalie, the person he let lose him the game all summer.
• Other than James coaching Natalie what to do after he goes, there's no strategy talk.
• This is what boredom on video is, BB18 when there's no hope for excitement to come.
• If James or Natalie win veto and one gets taken off the block, there's no expectation that there will be a blindside and someone other than the remaining one will go home.
• Gah.

Paul never cooked before this summer

But they don't even talk to me!

The dudes

BB18: Live Feeds into Friday Evening, Nominations - September 2

You two did too much of this all summer

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

• Oh, gee. James and Natalie slept most of the day away.
• Even when they were awake, they stayed away from the others.
• Of course, it's a lost cause at this point anyway.
• Natalie asked James if he threw last night's HoH comp.
• He told her he didn't.
• But, what of all of the ones he DID throw all summer long?
• Nicole, being the paranoid woman she is, worried if they made the right decision keeping Paul and Victor for the final four with her and Corey.
• It's also a little too late for that.
• Victor and Paul made it clear in the late night hours that James would be the target, Natalie would be the pawn this week.
• And, so it came to be.
• Natalie and James are on the block.
• One will go home even if the other is saved by the veto.
• In other news, the Chosen Final Four played dominoes peppered with loud profanity from the boys.
• I had to keep turning down the volume because I don't think my neighbors would appreciate such outbursts. 
• Ain't really got nuthin' else to say.

Comeback kid will need protection next week

Dominoes and profanity

BB18: Live Feeds into Friday - September 2

Who wants to see my HoH room?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Goodbye Sweet Baby James:

• But first ... a quick recap of last night ...
• No one is a Have Not. Corey, James and Paul are the three who got the eggs in the safety basket. Natalie has her Never Not pass from her care package. And, Victor, who won the HoH is exempt from Have Not because of his win.
• James absolutely sucked at the comp with Paul sucking not far behind him.
• For the longest time Natalie, Corey and Victor were tied.
• An egg broke on Natalie's ramp which might have cost her the win, maybe not. It's egg under the bridge at this point.
• James had a sit-down with both Victor and Paul, explaining why he's voted the way he has, why he's aligned with whom he's aligned, etc.
• It was all very amicable and straightforward.
• But, too late and the explanations didn't reveal much Victor/Paul didn't already know.
• A key point for Victor/Paul is that James/Natalie switched their alliance to Corey/Nicole AFTER Victor ousted Paulie for the cause.
• James made a plea for them not to oust Natalie.
• They don't intend on doing so anyway.
• Both Victor and Paul want James out and pretty much told him so.
• After their talk with James, Victor went to Natalie to give her a heads up that she will be on the block but James is the target.
• So, the writing is on the wall. James, in his showmance stupor, has blown his second try for the BB win. Had he been focused on the game at hand instead of the showmance, he could have been a contender.
• Of course, James will have the chance to save himself with the veto ... and Natalie wants him to do just that. She seems to realize the win would mean more for him than for her.
• James told Natalie that, if she wins veto, she needs to take herself down.
• Mind you, the nominations technically haven't been announced yet.
• James is sure that Victor will be the next target after they go.
• Nicole is worried that James is talking trash about them.
• She doesn't have to worry. She won't go home this week, neither will Corey.
• But, after James and Natalie, they'll be next unless Victor gets the boot next week when he can't play for HoH.
• As James said to Natalie tonight, it's to the point where you win comps or you go home.
• James also advised Natalie to put up Nicole and Paul if she wins HoH next.
• In lighter news, Victor got dominoes in his HoH basket. That's more entertaining to watch than them playing chess.
• Paul has already settled into the HoH room, listening to the music and bopping around to it before Victor had a chance.
• Well, all I can say is ...
• Rockabye, sweet baby James. 

What does the fox say?

The writing is on the wall, James.

Dominoes came in Victor's HoH basket

Clearing the air won't help now

Stop pulling your leg hairs. Ew!

Oh, Jamesy, I can't play without you!
