BB18: Live Feeds -- HoH Comp -- June 30

As soon as the live feeds go back on, I'll update this with screen caps and the latest news!

10:06 PM ET, we have Jeff and taped bits. Oh, geez, it's make-over bits with Bronte screaming.

10:11 PM ET, still no live feeds, just taped segments with Jeff commentary.

10:16 PM ET and we have Jeff interviewing Glenn:

10:23PM ET - Still clips.

10:30 PM ET - Still clips.

10:40 PM ET - Still clips.

10:47 PM ET - FEEDS RETURN. The comp is over, have to figure out who won.  Oops, back to clips.

Still trying to figure out who won. Paulie said something about any of "them" could go up as long as one goes home. Hmm.

Whoa ... looks like Paulie is HoH! I'll correct that if I'm wrong.

YES! That's the HoH key he's wearing in addition to his mic cord.

PAULIE IS THE NEW HOH.

BB18: Live Eviction/HoH Show Blog Party - June 30

Are we ready for this? It's the first live eviction of the season. Glenn's eviction was neither live, nor a standard voted-on eviction. Producer Allison Grodner promises a special surprise. Although rumors are running rampant, there is no credible source for real information. So, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

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!

Let's get this show AWN!

Uh-oh. Julie just said that Glenn and tonight's evictee's games are far from over. Gah. And, we're into recap.

Heh, Julie is dissing Jozea in her intro speech.

In the house, Bridgette is worried. Jozea is still smug. His intuition is always right (according to him), so he knows that Paulie is the Road Kill winner. Ha. Victor is naming off people on their side that probably will NOT be voting to keep Jozea. Heehee. Jozea is sure it will be a landslide against Paulie. Jozea even tells Nicole he wants to work with her. She nods a lot but doesn't commit.

The Fatal Five girls alliance is formed - Nicole, Zakiyah, Da'Vonne, Michelle and Tiffany.

James is pranking. He put mayonnaise in the body lotion container.

They're editing the show to look like it could be either Bridgette or Jozea going home.

Victor is getting too controlling of others, Natalie is mad, James is mad.

Finally to the living room to talk to the nominees.
Jozea - Honest, truthful, bold, friendship, loyalty
Paulie - Pleasure to get to know you, hope to continue playing
Bridgette - Hope you keep me, sweet, friendly.

The live votes to evict:
Victor -- Paulie
Zakiyah -- Jozea
Paul -- Paulie
Frank -- Jozea
Onto commercial ...
Da'Vonne -- Jozea
Michelle -- Jozea
Bronte -- Paulie
Natalie -- Paulie
James -- Jozea
Tiffany -- Jozea
Corey -- Jozea

Ding, dong, the witch is dead ... for now.

Despite threats, he made a point of hugging everybody goodbye.

He thinks Natalie turned on him. People were weak-minded and all. He thinks the people just went against him just in the last few days. Heh. In the goodbye messages, Da'Vonne calls him out for the Messiah comment.

Julie tells him he has another chance to get back in the game -- the Battle Back sends one of the first five hamsters back into the house. Similar to the Survivor bit.

HoH comp time! Nicole can't compete, but her team can. Berry Balanced, race across the balance beam relay style, retrieve a berry, get ten to win. Can go longer easier beam or shorter harder one. If one falls, one out, but team keeps playing.

Natalie out.

I'll be setting up a separate live feeds post to cover the overflow of this event and the winners.

BB18: Live Feeds into Thursday - June 30

A subdued Jozea

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

• They do sink ships, y'know.
• But first ...
• Nicole is all upset because Victor was showing an interest in her, but she thinks he's either using her for strategic reasons or just plain mean.
• Sheesh. She should know not to get hung up on a guy on the show!
• Especially one working the other side. 
• What's wrong with that girl?
• Tiffany is networking the girls a bit. She told Natalie she'll always have her back. Hmm.
• Nicole is all worried that if Victor or Paul win HoH, she'll be the target.
• Well, yeah. That could happen. But that's how the game is played.
• Corey told Nicole that girls always think he's gay because he doesn't take them up on passes. Hmm. Natalie is the latest to tell him she thinks he's gay. Methinks he has some issues going on.
• Bronte told Natalie that Jozea only wants Tiffany in their alliance for the vote and then they'll backstab her.
• Tiffany cried.
• Oh, not at that in particular. It just fit well here in the report and she has spent time crying after saying she wouldn't play an emotional game.
• Tiffany says that Natalie wants to vote with the majority of the house, but she needs to know how the majority of the house will vote.
• Oh my. Do they tell her that her buddy Jozea is going home??!?!!
• Frank thinks Tiffany might need to go next because she can't be trusted.
• He thinks she's trying to make moves.
• And he isn't?
• He's hoping the girls on the other side flip and the vote becomes 9-2.
• Hmm.
• Meanwhile, on the Dark Side, Paul is hating on both James and Michelle. He wants them out ... like yesterday!
• Victor did get a warning from production that he isn't allowed to hit anyone. That apparently was a result of the dust-up with James yesterday. Well, duh.
• I imagine they'd also not be happy if he put excrement in James's bed, another thought he had.
• Jozea thinks James is the one holding the other side together.
• I don't think so. It's more Frank or even Da'Vonne than James, I think.
• The Three Stooges and Stoogette -- Paul, Jozea, Victor and Bronte -- feel they need to target James first before anyone else.
• Paul thinks Nicole likes him.
• I think that Nicole wants to be nice to everybody even if she doesn't like them. But Paul, more so than the other three, can be likable at times. He's playing a better social game than Victor, Bronte or Jozea.
• Bridgette told Natalie that she trusts Frank for now because he's keeping her safe.
• He is? He's taking the credit for that? Oh my.
• Gah! Frank tells Natalie he doesn't want her on the "wrong side" and fills her in on the real house majority.
• He also advises her to throw HoH and she agrees she won't vote him out if he's nominated.
• Yiles! They didn't really need her as a number this vote! Why did he do that? I realize she's been saying all along that she wants to vote with the house majority. But, until now, she thought that was Paulie exiting!
• Now she'll run and break the news to Jozea or tell people who will tell Jozea. I wanted it to be a total blindside.
• Frank, you just ruined my "Good TV."
• Natalie told Frank that she's not stupid and realized the vote was going to keep Paulie.
• But, will she blab?
• Hmm.
• On a sidenote: Heehee, BB has had to tell Paul more than once to move his beard away from his mic.
• Sure enough ... Natalie goes to Victor and Bronte telling them she "has a feeling" that Jozea is going home.
• Thanks, Frank!
• Bronte is sure that Da'Vonne and Zakiyah will vote to keep Jozea.
• I'm sure she's wrong.
• Natalie says she will vote to keep Jozea.
• She, of course, will stick like glue with her new BFF Bronte.
• Bridgette, already with little trust in Frank's group, is getting sucked in even more by Bronte and Natalie. She had been starting to lean away a bit.
• Bridgette does trust Frank for now because he's keeping them safe.
• Now Natalie doesn't know if she can trust Bridgette.
• It's a vicious cycle, I know.
• Things were interrupted by a birthday party for Nicole in the living room.
• But that only lasted so long.
• The HoH group says that Frank told Natalie and then Natalie told Bronte and Bridgette.
• Yep, that's about how it went down.
• Thanks, Frank.
• Jozea says he's going to curse all out, including Julie, if he gets the boot.
• I guess the censors will be on guard for the live show.
• Tiffany cried over Frank being a "male chauvinist."
• Drama, drama and then a side dish of drama.
• And now Jozea knows that he might be in peril despite how loved he is.
• But he still thinks he's staying.
• Ha.

Sippy Paul

Uh-oh

Midnight gathering

Channeling Vanessa's tears?

Natalie trying to figure things out

When in doubt, wear a hat in the house

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - June 29

The pixels were there in the morning, gone now

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

• Oh! This is dragging on way too long!
• There was a lockdown of the HoH room for a while, sending the hamsters into paranoia about being shut out of there. I'm thinking it was either fish maintenance or pest control.
• I think this is the first year the ants have made it up there.
• Paul seems to be the only one of the Three Stooges (Jozea, Victor and Paul) who has concerns that the vote might not go Paulie.
• Both Victor and Jozea shut him down.
• Why in the world would anyone not want Jozea in the house?
• Heh.
• Victor got into it with James about the pranks. James was cool about things, but Victor almost got to the point of physical violence.
• We've seen that happen before.
• It's the easy way to get booted from the house. Victor needs to rein that stuff in.
• Bronte keeps going on rants about how horrible the people on "the other side" are.
• She keeps that up and she'll paint that next target on her back.
• Both she and Paul have made comments about James being Asian.
• I don't go for that. I don't care for comments about where people are from, what they look like, etc. To me, it shows a bigotry. If she didn't like him because of his pranks, that should be what's said. Say he acts like a child, not that he needs to go back to where he came from. @@
• Rant over.
• Speaking of heritage and such ... Paul talked at length about his Armenian culture, his trip to the Vatican and discovering the oldest Armenian Christian church in the world. If Paul wasn't so clueless about the game and picked Jozea as an ally and wasn't so intent on being weird ... he's actually a rather interesting and intelligent guy. But he's blown that so far.
• When Jozea asked her, Tiffany assured him that he had her vote and some others he might not expect ... and they aren't talking about it.
• Of course, those are votes to LEAVE, not to STAY.
• Heehee.
• Jozea and Victor are sure they have Zakiyah and Da'Vonne on their side.
• Paul is sure that Frank will vote with them.
• I am sure tomorrow night's eviction is one not to be missed.
• They're on indoor lockdown as the backyard is prepared for tomorrows HOH comp.  
• They had to explain Pandora's Box to Paul. He knows the principle of it, but not in respect to BB. @@
• Frank needs to stop saying "whenever" instead of "when." I don't know where that colloquialism comes from but it bugs me whenever I hear it. When I hear it, too! 

Bed for four, please

Jus' chillin'

Look! He has clothes again!

Paul did her make-up for her

He totally believes in Jozea ... fool

BB18: PoV Comp Episode Blog Party - June 29

Ready for the Power of Veto? As tonight's show airs, I'll be live updating this entry with the major events. Refresh the page to get the latest! As always, the real party is in the comments area. Come watch the show with us!

Recap time! Woot, woot.

Okay, we pick it up at the end of the Road Kill ceremony. Nicole thinks the 8-Pack is secure. (But they need to win PoV.) Jozea thinks Paulie, the next best thing to a game vet because of Cody, must go. Jozea, Paul and Victor are trying to figure out who Road Killed Paul. They think it's Michelle. Jozea is sure he's safe. After all, he's getting veterans in his fold, he'll win the veto and yada-yada-yada.

Heh. Jozea is telling Da'Vonne, Zakiyah and James it was Michelle who won Road Kill. They're most of the select group who know it was Frank.

Paul is worried that Bridgette is putting her team ahead of her group by getting pally with Paulie. He runs to Victor with his Bridgette suspicions.

Bronte reminds us she's a math girl. She wants to be where the numbers are. Maybe we should Go Fund her an abacus. She's way off base.

Veto Pick Time:
Nicole HOH picks two chips. If she pulls a nominee's name, they get to choose.
First name she picks is Da'Vonne. She picked Corey. Paul's not a happy camper.

Frank goes to be all sympathetic with Jozea. Jozea buys the act.

James, Corey and Frank pranked Paul by putting whipped cream on his face as he slept.

PoV comp time!
The players are all in dog costumes. Michelle, the host is a fire hydrant. It's a spinning get dizzy thing with stacking treats. We love to see the hamsters dizzy!

PAUL won the Golden Power of Veto! (And then commenced to wear the veto necklace for the longest time on record on the live feeds.)

Since Paul was the Road Kill nominee, if he takes himself off the block, it's up to Frank to come up with another nominee. And, they still won't know it's Frank doing the nominating.

Bridgette realizes that there are two teams safe from nomination and that she's one of five who can go up. (The rest are in the HOH alliance.)

Tiffany tells Paulie that Vanessa is her sister. Now they can bond.

Jozea makes another Messiah comment, this time to Frank. He thinks he has Frank in his pocket. Heh. He's so wrong!

Jozea calls a meeting. Paulie isn't invited. It's a secret meeting that isn't secret. Little does Jozea know that Da'Vonne and Zakiyah and so many others want HIM out. James is there, too. Jozea is making an idiot out of himself.

Da'Vonne to us, "That boy don't even see his own eviction and it's slapping him in the face every day."

Bridgette goes up (for her girls) to the HoH room. That makes everybody on both sides a bit suspicious.

Paulie confronted Jozea about calling the house meeting. Jozea denies he called one. Then Jozea said that if they want someone out, they're out. After all, "we run this house."

Time for the Veto Meeting. Paul saves himself. Nicole reads a statement about the Road Kill making a secret nominee. On the screen, all the faces go by and stop on Bridgette. She's replacing Paul on the block. She's not pleased.

Tomorrow we'll know who gets the boot. My fingers are crossed for a 7-4.
