BB18: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - September 6

Boring

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

• I really have almost nothing for you today.
• If there was any game talk, it was off camera.
• There were no kerfuffles, fisticuffs or brouhahas.
• Victor got his HoH camera.
• And fun was had by all.
• One interesting note is that Natalie and Nicole talked.
• That in and of itself is a bit unusual these days.
• But they weren't talking game.
• They were talking marriage and children.
• Nicole wants both before she's 30.
• Natalie isn't interested in either marriage or children.
• Things that make you go, "Hmm ..."
• I wish I had more.
• Maybe there will be fisticuffs overnight.

Figuring days left vs. hamsters

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

• When I last left you, James had blown his own game by throwing Nicole under the bus to Paul.
• But, as we know, this is Big Brother and waffles are a favorite feast in the house.
• We still have until Thursday evening for them to change their minds again ... and again.
• All along, the HoH (Victor) has wanted James out this week. That was his intention when he put him on the block. He even told Natalie that she was a pawn.
• The trouble with that is that the HoH doesn't have a vote. Not even a tiebreaker vote in sight this week.
• The votes are Paul, Nicole and Corey.
• They had swapped favor for James staying until yesterday when James blew up Nicole's game to Paul.
• Now they're waffling back a bit ... again.
• But first ... there's the Wednesday controversy. Y'see, Paul told the other that Julie had said she'd see them Wednesday, thus putting a panic into them that the eviction night changed for this week.
• I saw (and heard) James ask Paul about whether he was certain Julie said Wednesday while Paul was playing pool yesterday. He said, "Yes, Wednesday, September 21st."
• D'oh! That's the finale night and YES, she will see them all that night!
• So, I'm not sure why they're all still fussing about the eviction night changing.
• Out of boredom, Paul tried to access the tunnel from the phone booth to no avail. Poor Paul.
• Paul and Victor had another talk with James. Hmmm. Now they're thinking that Natalie might be the mastermind of the pair and that James is just starting to realize what she's been doing.
• Hmm.
• On the other hand, Natalie went into one of her "no one talks to me" hissy fits with James.
• Well, yeah. The rest are more likely to be talking about her rather than to her. But a lot of that is her own doing. James actually mingles more with the others and his results are different.
• Paul talked to Corey.
• It sounds like the Keep James Plan is once again in effect.
• Paul thinks that James is sure that he's going home and keeping him will rattle him and he'll do poorly in the HoH comp.
• Hmm.
• Nicole told Corey she wants the final three to be them ... and James.
• Hmm.
• Of course, this is all subject to change ... again.

Victor is a folding maniac

They finally got to play dominoes

James mingles during the night

BB18: Live Feeds into Monday Evening, PoV Meeting - September 5

Hang down your head, James Huling

Hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, James Huling

And kiss your game goodbye

He met her in the BB house

He thought he met a spouse

He met her in the BB house

And went from a man to a mouse

 Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Loose Lips Sink Ships:

• First off, my apologies to songwriter Thomas Land, popular performers The Kingston Trio for mangling the lyrics to 'Tom Dooley'
• When I last left you, it seemed the tides had turned and Paul, Corey and Nicole would rather keep James over Natalie.
• As I said, nothing is ever certain until it happens.
• We all know that James threw whatever game he had in him in the gutter in his showmance with Natalie.
• Well, this time he blew up game he didn't realize he had.
• While the powers that be decided to keep him, they didn't tell him.
• They let him think he was still the target.
• James STUPIDLY for some reason decided to throw Nicole under the bus to Paul.
• Who told Nicole.
• Who told Corey.
• I'm wondering if James's intent when telling Paul was to "save" Natalie.
• Because that's what it looks like he did.
• Now the three votes that were going to keep him are all focusing on evicting him once again.
• We have until Thursday for waffles, though.
• Oh, yeah ... the one thing I said was for sure was --
• The veto was not used at the veto meeting.
• Natalie and James remain on the block.

Oh noes! I blew up my OWN game!!

I see dead people

This is a skinny baseball bat!

I see dead people, the saga continues

Getting antsy as the end nears

The Up All Night Boys

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Not So Dynamic Duos:

• First, I hope everyone has a fine Labor Day. I foolishly said I'd go in and work the office for a few hours. So, I'll be working. But not a full day. My sprained ankle doesn't want to go. Wah.
• Things could be worse. 
• I could be in the Big Brother House.
• Not that I would ever do that, mind you.
• Why am I just wasting space and time?
• Because those hamsters are back to separating into their pairs and being BORING!
• Nicole got all emotional fussing that she hasn't had her period since she came into the house and kept fussing and snapping at Corey.
• Corey got ticked that she made a scene and it might be on television.
• "Don't do that again! Bite your tongue if you're going to do that."
• Then they kissed and made up.
• How exciting is that?
• Nicole thinks she really needs to study for HoH comps because, if it's days or something like that, Paul will win.
• Hmm ... I thought she had trust in her final four?
• They played dominoes.
• Of course, the "they" who keep playing dominoes doesn't include Natalie or James. It's always a mix of the other four or all four playing.
• Nicole cleaned the kitchen.
• Not up to Victor's standards, I'm sure.
• Heck, it didn't even look up to MY standards! I really don't understand leaving all the beverages which should be refrigerated, cleaning supplies, nail polish, etc. all over the counters!
• James did mingle some, playing pool with Corey.
• That's more of an attempt than Natalie made to mix and mingle.
• James still thinks he's the one going home this week. Unless things change (which is very possible), he'll be staying.
• Natalie acts like she thinks she's going home, but James is saying she's staying and Victor told her she's the pawn. I think she thinks she's staying.
• Heh.
• Both Natalie and James talked about the show not bringing them fame, but earning a place on their resumes.
• Natalie said she considered going on The Bachelor but didn't want to kiss a guy sixteen other girls were kissing.
• Well, when you put it that way ...!
• I'm trying to think ... when I was her age, had there been reality television shows, would I have wanted to go on them? About the only one I'd have really wanted to go on at that age would be The Amazing Race for the worldwide travel and adventure, if not for the win.
• The most game talk of the overnight was Victor and Paul confronting James with things Natalie said when she threw him (James) under the bus.
• James looked hurt.
• They told him that Natalie is playing the victim as a strategy and using him.
• James looked hurt.
• James later joined Natalie at the hot tub, still looking hurt.
• Natalie asked if he was okay.
• He told her he was just sad because one of them will be going home.
• Maybe he'll wake up and PLAY THE GAME.

Hanging out with Jamesy

Less grumpy since he got off slop

They have straws. They could make shakes!

BB18: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - September 4

Natalie wasted those tomatoes!

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

• Okay, so last night Natalie threw James under the bus in her ploy to stay in the game.
• She doesn't have a clue that Nicole, Paul and Corey think Natalie going this week instead of James is better for their games.
• Now, Victor is the Head of Household. Actually, keeping Natalie would be better for his personal game than keeping James would be.
• But he's only HoH ... why should his personal game matter to his Final Four Ride or Dies?
• THEY vote.
• HE doesn't.
• So, whether he's putting on a show of things and going along or whether they really have him convinced that Natalie is more of a threat, he's on board with the plan.
• Then Natalie goes up to Paul and Victor today telling them how James deserved to stay in the game more than she does.
• Heck, if they hadn't already decided to switch it up and target her, that talk would have done it.
• Paul thinks she's trying to use reverse psychology.
• Both laughed about her turnaround from the conversation last night.
• Paul and Victor also discussed what happens after both James and Natalie are gone.
• Who to cut first? Nicole? Corey?
• They decided Corey would have to go first.
• It's nice they can make all these plans, isn't it?
• The only plan I can rightfully predict is that the veto won't be used tomorrow.
• Beyond that, who knows?
• Maybe if James stays, he'll come to life.
• Maybe Victor will lose a comp.
• Maybe Corey will earn a doctorate degree.
• BWAHAHA! Like that will happen!
• Until tomorrow ... 

Natalie using reverse psychology?

Stop picking at yourself, Paul! Disgusting!

Has he any fight in him if he stays?

Yeah, enjoying their last week together.

Corey naps. Nicole worries.
