BB18: Battle Back to BB Special Blog Party - July 22


The Live Feeds will be down until after tonight's Battle Back episode. They should return late tonight at 9pm PT/ 12am ET

Will it be Glenn, Jozea, Victor, Bronte or Tiffany returning?

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 -- come join in on the fun!

We first get to see all five get evicted once again. Win or go home in four head to head competitions. 

Glenn takes on Jozea. The comp has them doing an identical one we saw earlier in the season. Balance beam logs, one short tough path, one longer easier, retrieve berries one at a time. They each have a poison berry that they can use to destroy a column of berries of the opponent. 

Heh. Jozea is rushing to prove how great he is and fell, twice. Glenn is going really slow. Now it's raining. Jozea is in the lead. Glenn failed to get Jozea with the poison berry. Jozea successfully got his poison berry in. Jozea wins over Glenn. Glenn has to go home.

Jozea will battle Victor next. Must knock down five face of their opponent targets with tennis balls and huge rackets that work like a trampoline. Victor wins! Jozea is going home. (Yay!)

Victor will battle Bronte next. That should be interesting. Bronte is already annoying on intro to the yard. Ohh ... she tells Victor not a single person in the house likes him (but her). They have monitors with photos of hamsters still in the game and answer six questions. Victor wins!

Victor will battle Tiffany next. The winner of that battle will return to the house. They have glowing wrist and ankle bands. Search through bins for puzzle pieces, listen for clues to complete band's schedule. (Puzzle is a band.) Climbing and suspended kind of thing. Victor wins and makes all kinds of ape noises.

Victor will be returning to the house, Tiffany goes home. She tells him to trust Frank, don't trust Da'Vonne.

Julie tells the hamsters about Battle Back. The doorbell rings. Victor enters, testosterone raging.  

Another twist has clues to a secret room only in play for the next four weeks. Finding the room can change the game of the winner.

Julie says it's been one wild week. (Well, it was for a few days!)

Recap time, of course.

Cody and Vanessa will have a segment to talk about Paulie and Tiffany tonight.

Julie tells us everybody is scrambling. She says they were strategizing until just before the show.

Cut back to after the veto ceremony. We see the infamous braid "whipping" that Tiffany (on the feeds) called an assault. @@

Aw, James and Natalie had a slight kerfuffle. All is good.

Paulie wants Tiffany out. Frank wants Da/Vonne out. Paul's kind of caught in the middle, but thinks Da'Vonne is more of a danger down the road. Tiffany starts telling all the lies that Da'Vonne has said.

Lots of unrest. The edit is leaning towards Da'Vonne going. Da'Vonne tells James that she wants to go after couples. Um ... he's in a couple. Smooth move there, Mama Day! He runs to tell Paulie.

Cody and Vanessa time. Cody thinks Paulie is doing well with comps and his social game. But he warned him not to have a showmance. He thinks he should have aligned with James. He also thinks he could have aligned with Tiffany as a final two. Vanessa thinks that there's a double standard when Paulie and Tiffany are compared. People don't bring up Cody to Paulie. She's glad that Tiffany has stepped up and thinks working with Frank is good for both of them.

Live vote time. The talk with the nominees --
Da'Vonne - Thank God, etc. Love you guys, trust people, thanks in advance.
Natalie - Excited and nervous, best summer of my life, James. Please keep me.
Tiffany - Wild ride. Amazing time, ups and downs, once in a lifetime. Will be loyal.

The votes to evict:
Michelle - Tiffany
Zakiyah - Tiffany
James - Tiffany
Onto commercial ...
Nicole - Tiffany
Frank - Tiffany
Corey - Tiffany
Bridgette - Tiffany
Paul - Tiffany

Unanimous. Tiffany is gone. She handled it well, even Da'Vonne's over the top goodbye message.

Julie tells us that they've been playing in teams and having Road Kill ... all of that is about to change. Gonna shake up the game. (Good!)
 Onto commercial.

A segment with interviews of the first four evicted for Battle Back.

Julie talks to the current hamsters. Teams are ending as of tonight. Road Kill gone, too. Everyone is on their own, two nominees each week. More twists to come and secrets to discover ... goodnight houseguests.

No HoH tonight. Battle Back is tomorrow night. HoH will be announced on air Sunday. BBAD will not air tonight, nor will live feeds.

BB18: Live Feeds Overnight into Thursday - July 21

Will Tiffany still be around after tonight?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Horrors:
  • Frank still wants Da'Vonne out, but seems to have come to the realization that it just might not happen this week. He thinks people would prefer a double eviction and BOTH Tiffany and Da'Vonne gone this week.
  • Although being on the block is a bit nerve wracking no matter what, Natalie is blessed with two huge targets up there with her.
  • It's as if she's not even on the block.
  • I doubt anyone will vote her out.
  • By the way, her and James are all copacetic once again.
  • The late night hours continued to be as exciting as the daytime hours.
  • Yes, that was sarcasm on my part.
  • They all were called individually to the diary room to record goodbye messages. Some of those might be interesting. Once jury happens, we tend to get milder messages. After all, gotta get those jury votes!
  • Nicole thinks one of the beds in the house is cursed because Jozea, then Victor, slept in it.
  • Hey, maybe one will want it back after tomorrow!
  • I always kind of hoped they burned the bed Amanda and McCrae lived on that one summer.
  • Paulie told Tiffany that, if Frank can get things to a tie vote, he (the tiebreaker) will vote Da'Vonne out.
  • I don't think so! Liar liar pants on fire!
  • It's still either - or between the two.
  • This is one week I'm not going to make a solid prediction. I think it will be Tiffany out, but ...!

Only on the radar due to Paulie connection

Whispering strategy

Will her bum ankle affect her HoH chances?

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - July 20

Pretty boy smile

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Brazen Bullies:
  • The three nominees got their bags and have to pack.
  • Too bad, so sad.
  • Sniffle.
  • Their (very late) morning had just about started when Tiffany (alone) told the camera that she and Da'Vonne had made a final two deal on the second day before the live feeds came on.
  • Then they were all called to the HoH room for a lockdown and we got Jeff highlights loops.
  • In other words, the live feeds were blocked.
  • Much of the rest of the day so far has been spent with Da'Vonne scrambling to make sure she has the votes (against Tiffany) to stay.
  • Or, Frank trying to get a grasp on whether he's gathered enough votes for Da'Vonne to go.
  • Nicole is appearing dazed and confused.
  • Nothing new there.
  • The Paulie Camp is on board for voting out Tiffany, but they're not telling the Frank Camp that.
  • But, part of the Paulie Camp -- Zakiyah and Nicole -- feel that Da'Vonne is sketchy and more dangerous in the game than is Tiffany.
  • They had been let out of the HoH room, but have been on indoor lockdown all day.
  • Lots of speculation about what's going up in the yard.
  • One very common thought is that someone is going to return to the game.
  • A'yup.
  • Corey is on board with voting out Da'Vonne even though he has issues with Tiffany.
  • Paulie's Camp is dwindling. Perhaps they're all being eaten by bears.
  • They didn't talk about what happened when they were locked in the HoH room and the feeds were blocked.
  • They weren't told what's going on.
  • Nicole told Frank she thinks that Tiffany's going. She also told him that people are saying that if Bridgette wins HoH, she would nominate her (Nicole).
  • Frank denied that.
  • Frank also tried to push for a Tiffany save.
  • That's when we found out that Nicole doesn't know the meaning of the word "diabolical" when used in the context of a sentence.
  • Oh my.
  • Frank also pushed his Oust Da'Vonne agenda to Paulie.
  • Paulie thinks Tiffany would go after them and wants her out.
  • Around and around it goes. Where it ends up, nobody knows.
  • Well, we'll know.
  • Tomorrow night.

Michelle is a bit Christine-like

Wondering what's going on comp-wise

I'm not sure who's on board for the vote

She needs to win to buy new jeans

Again, talking with hands all over the place!

A suitable snack for the BB18 hamsters

BB18: Power of Veto Episode Blog Party - July 20



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!

We pick up after the Road Kill ceremony. Nicole is crying, Corey is on the block. Corey isn't crying. Natalie's crying. She remains on the block and now with Corey and Tiffany.

Zakiyah, Corey, Da'Vonne, Michelle and Nicole speculate that Tiffany is the Road Kill winner. Paulie had tried to trick her into confessing to be such just before the ceremony.  Da'Vonne knows it's her. 

Ohh ... Tiffany talks to Frank (and Bridgette), spilling the beans that his buddies can't be trusted, that he's low on the totem-pole. James is in there. He wants to lay low. 

Frank approaches Corey, wants to get him back on his side. But Corey KNOWS Frank won the Road Kill and put him on the block. (Which was all Tiffany, but ...!) Frank tries to make amends with Da'Vonne, too. 

Paul sees Frank and Da'Vonne whispering and runs to Paulie and Corey. Now Paulie is this thinking that if Tiffany wins the PoV, he'll put Da'Vonne up in her place. 

Paul discovers that he can bake muffins. How exciting! 

Veto player pick time. Paulie pulls Da'Vonne. Then he picks Paul. So, those two will play in addition to Natalie, Tiffany, Corey and Paulie. 

Meanwhile ... Bridgette and Frank grow closer to Tiffany. Tiffany has told Da'Vonne she was the RK winner, but doesn't know if she would save her.

Time for the veto comp! It's a candied wonderland in the yard. Rounds of ice cream battles.  They have to transfer huge fake ice cream scoops to match ones shown them. 

Corey goes against Tiffany. Corey wins. Tiffany's out.
Paul challenges Natalie. Paul wins. Natalie is out.
Paulie challenges Da'Vonne. Paulie wins. Da'Vonne is out.
Corey challenges Paul. Corey wins despite the fact he agreed to throw it to Paul.
It's down to Corey and Paulie. Paulie throws it to Corey. 
COREY wins the PoV. He's worried that Nicole might go up if he takes himself down.

Da'Vonne knows that Tiffany will go for a big target and she's worried. So, what does she do? She gets in a tiff with Tiffany! Tiffany spills the Da'Vonne beans to Frank. Tiffany tells Paul he's safe and that Da'Vonne is going down this week.

Time for the veto meeting! Corey uses the veto to save himself. The replacement nominee is Da'Vonne.

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - July 20

From the CBS Big Brother website ...
The Feeds will be down a lil' longer than usual this week, but with good reason! Find out on Battle Back this Friday, July 22 @ 8/7c

Let's watch Michelle pick her toes!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Boredom:
  • I don't have much for you, so you're getting a lot of screen caps.
  • About the only strategy talk noteworthy overnight was James warning Paulie that Da'Vonne is planning on targeting the couples.
  • James told him, as we knew from before, that he would not be voting Da'Vonne out this week.
  • Paulie thinks Tiffany has to go this week, especially since she's now become a minion to Frank.
  • Paul, Paulie and James feel they need to do something about Da'Vonne and Frank when the double eviction comes.
  • They think that will be, if not next week, the week after.
  • They're locked inside the house, no yard.
  • They all did things together, ate, chatted, told tall tales ... BORING.
  • I think the eviction is leaning towards Tiffany once again after it had a round at Da'Vonne.
  • We'll see.

Too much brevity going on

Blow in my ear and I'll follow you anywhere

Being caressed by Michelle. Ew.

Tears of a clown?

If I could just strangle Tiffany!

Oh, she's dotty!

About the only strategy talk of the night

Ants, ants, ants

BB18: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - July 19

He's not having as much fun this season

But, first ...
The Feeds will be down a lil' longer than usual this week, but with good reason! Find out on Battle Back this Friday, July 22 @ 8/7c

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Whacked Whackamoles:
  • They made that scrolling announcement on the Live Feeds page, so I'm making it here.
  • I don't believe I ever checked out the scrolling capability here on Blogger. But I knew the HTML code for it and, gosh, it works!
  • This is more exciting than the action (or lack thereof) inside the BB house today.
  • Da'Vonne told James that the people in showmances much be broken up. When he questioned it, she said others. The others would be Nicole/Corey or Frank/Bridgette or Paulie/Zakiyah.
  • Dang, a lot of pairing going on without much going on with them this year.
  • Not that I don't mind them not doing much. As a matter of fact, I prefer it. I don't watch the feeds to see porn!
  • James told Da'Vonne he has her back this week vote-wise.
  • She's not worried about this week. She's worried about next.
  • I think she should be very worried about next week whether she stays or goes.
  • BB directed them to all go to the HoH room.
  • Yep, it's an HoH lockdown and the feeds went from fish to Jeff highlights loops.
  • Paulie got his HoH camera and a good time was had by all.
  • @@
  • More small talk than game talk today.
  • Yawn.
  • My cat does more interesting small talk!
  • Da'Vonne told Nicole that the only people from BB17 that she kept in touch with more than just social media are Jason and Steve.
  • That doesn't surprise me.
  • If we had Jason in the house right now, this just might be entertaining.
  • But we have Paul.
  • Paul has stories.
  • The backyard is closed.
  • We don't know what happened in the HoH lockdown.
  • They have free run of the house, but they're staying mostly in large groups with very little game talk.
  • Oh, well. That's how the hamster rolls.



Woman of deadly weapon braids

Germ alert!

What? No James?

Bunch of nothing going on here


BB18: Live Feeds into Tuesday Morning - July 19

Now has Nicole all ga-ga over him

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Twisted Tales:
  • Natalie defended her relationship with James to Zakiyah. She said that, even if they don't date outside of the house, he's always going to be a special person to her.
  • James has a way of doing that. Just ask Meg.
  • Brdgette has a mouth on her that would make a sailor blush. Every other word starts with an "F." Not so pretty for someone who tries to be so cutesy.
  • Continuing try to annoy her, Da'Vonne hid Tiffany's stuffed gorilla.
  • The stuffed animals came with the house this year and some have laid claim to individual ones.
  • For example, Zakiyah has the giraffe whom she named Raffi. 
  • Paulie's father's nickname is Raffi. I'm thinking, since I have an Italian friend nicknamed the same, probably Raffaele.
  • Frank thinks they have the votes to get out Da'Vonne.
  • He told Nicole they have her, James, Paul and Michelle.
  • I don't know, Frank. You have some very anti-Tiffany people in those thoughts.
  • Michelle vehemently hates Tiffany.
  • I'm not sure James wants to vote out Da'Vonne right now, either.
  • Hmm.
  • Nicole is being like a pre-teen girl over Corey now. She got upset when Corey said he'd let James flirt with her if he wanted to.
  • Gah. Wake up, Nicole!
  • Corey tried to convince her he didn't mean anything by it. He's glad that men take an interest in her and like her.
  • Paul told Michelle that Tiffany is getting voted out this week.
  • That's because she told him "they" want her to throw the HoH comp if Tiffany stays.
  • Hmm.
  • Bridgette and Frank talked about how immature all of their fellow hamsters are.
  • Frank thinks, at the advanced age of 32, that he's the fountain of all wisdom.
  • Bridgette, with her potty mouth and Cabbage Patch Kid expressions (Tiffany scored one with that for me!), is oh-so-grown-up.
  • Give me a break.
  • Right now, things are still murky. It went from a definite Tiffany out to a Da'Vonne out, now it's kind of sort of back to Tiffany out.
  • I hold with my prediction that no one will vote to evict Natalie.

Spooning again?

Oh my

None of them in the HoH bed are HoH

Still Frank's target, but ...

BB18: Live Feeds into Monday Evening, PoV renom - July 18

Shiny happy hamsters

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Riff-Raff Rats:
  • I did something different with the screen caps this evening.
  • I captured happiness.
  • Well, Tiffany's smile was actually as she talked how she never wants to see any of them outside of the house.
  • But it's a smile!
  • Today's Power of Veto Meeting (blocked to the live feeds, but results come through) went down as expected.
  • Corey removed himself from the block with the veto. He was the Road Kill nominee.
  • Tiffany (secretly) put Da'Vonne in his place.
  • So, up for eviction this week, we have Da'Vonne, Tiffany and Natalie.
  • I predict Natalie will be vote-free on Thursday.
  • Speculation that a hamster will return continued.
  • Now, if Bronte hadn't been voted out last week, she could have done the math easily for them to realize someone must come back in.
  • Heh.
  • Apparently, during the PoV meeting, there was some kind of kerfuffle and nasty words back and forth between Da'Vonne and Tiffany. 
  • Tiffany said that Da'Vonne "assaulted" her with her braids.
  • And, now she's scared of her.
  • @@
  • Tiffany supposedly tried to flip her hair back on Da'Vonne, but it's too short.
  • I don't know. I do hope they show it during the show!
  • Frank thinks Da'Vonne's going to lay low and try to make sure she has two votes less than Tiffany. She doesn't want a tie.
  • Frank told Tiffany that Corey is on the fence with the vote. 
  • Frank wants Da'Vonne out.
  • Before jury.
  • Natalie flirted some with Paulie today.
  • Zakiyah was not happy about it.
  • And, of course, Michelle ran to James about it.
  • @@
  • Michelle got mad at James for calling her a "mean girl."
  • Hey, the guy's honest. She was telling him to shun Tiffany.
  • James is the kind of guy who talks to everyone. And, no one, can tell him not to talk to people.
  • Plus, in his previous season and in this one, James is the one who people can go to to vent or use his shoulder to cry on. When someone's down, James is the least likely to kick him/her.
  • James thinks it will be Tiffany going home. He's not in with the group that think otherwise.
  • He ended up apologizing to Michelle and saying he was out of line.
  • Stupid nice guy. She IS a mean girl!
  • Oh geez. Nicole isn't playing a great game already and now she's grown REALLY smitten over Corey.
  • James and Natalie had a long talk trying to figure out where they stood with each other.
  • She claims she's upset because he tells other people his grievances before he tells her.
  • He claims he's always had her back.
  • Now he's slightly crushed. He says it's over.
  • I say it probably never should have been in the first place.
  • But, wait ... it's not over!
  • She has feelings for him and claimed that rubbing Paulie's leg wasn't flirting.
  • Hmm.
  • Things seem to be up in the air again regarding the vote.
  • Frank and Bridgette (his Cabbage Patch Kid) will vote to evict Da'Vonne for sure.
  • Tiffany and Nicole seem to be backpedaling about taking out Da'Vonne this week.
  • As for Da'Vonne, she pretty much expected to be put up because word was out that Tiffany won Road Kill.
  • I guess it's a waiting game.

Smiles

Even a Tiffany smile

BB18: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - July 18

Category 4 weak link who thinks she's not

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Turning Tides for Tiff:
  • Da'Vonne just might be in a lot of trouble this week.
  • What's that you say?
  • She isn't even on the block?
  • Well, that will surely change today when the PoV meeting goes down.
  • Corey, the PoV winner, is slated to take himself off the block, leaving Natalie and Tiffany as the nominees for eviction.
  • Of those two, Tiffany would definitely be gone. Natalie creates less drama in the house ... MUCH less drama.
  • Plus, Natalie doesn't have a sister named Vanessa.
  • Since Corey was the Road Kill nominee, that means that Tiffany (Road Kill winner) will (secretly) be the one to name the renom.
  • And, that renom will definitely be Da'Vonne.
  • Tiffany has been workin' it. She has gone to just about everybody and anybody -- except to Da'Vonne -- spilling all kinds of stuff about Da'Vonne, mostly truths but some embellishments, too.
  • Da'Vonne's BB habits of planting seeds, blabbing a bit too much and being too cocky are likely to catch up to her this week.
  • As it stands now, Tiffany has Frank, Bridgette, Corey and Natalie as votes to keep her and oust Da'Vonne.
  • She just might have Zakiyah, too.
  • Paulie claims that he's on her side when he's talking to her and has mentioned it would be a good opportunity to get Da'Vonne out.
  • But he doesn't seem fully aboard. If the vote comes to a tie, he'd be the tiebreaker this week. His vehemence over Tiffany might end up in him saving Da'Vonne to save his precious male "always right" ego.
  • Michelle wants Tiffany out. Maybe that's because Da'Vonne never thought her important enough to give her the time of the Day (heehee) and she doesn't have much to do with her while Tiffany has had more interactions with her.
  • As Tiffany is making the rounds to push her anti-Da'Vonne campaign, Michelle is making rounds to push her anti-Tiffany campaign.
  • Da'Vonne isn't making rounds ... yet. She's not on the block, y'know.
  • I'm not really sure of Michelle's motivation in all of this. Like Paul deciding he's going to be a double agent, I can see this biting Michelle on the butt down the line.
  • If she's not in a close alliance with Da'Vonne (which she's not; Da'Vonne doesn't trust her), she would do better just to be quieter and observe it all.
  • She thinks she's swayed Corey and Natalie, but I don't really think they're swayed. I think they'll still go to vote out Da'Vonne instead of Tiffany at this point.
  • At least this week's doldrums early week period should have kerfuffles going on!
  • The PoV meeting should be later today.
  • Then we should see some good scrambling topped by emotional outbursts.
  • Yeah, it sucks to be them. But they wanted to be on TV. We didn't!

I didn't realize Da'Vonne was so against me

Tiffany put him up, he will take himself down

SEEMS to be getting along, always a target

Still playing rather low-key

BB18: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - July 17

Perpetually congested

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Lying Lilliputians:
  • It's Sunday.
  • Sundays are boring in the BB house.
  • BB even lets them sleep in.
  • The only redeeming value to today for the hamsters is that they once again have the yard open.
  • They don't even have Photo Booth this year to go silly.
  • If they want silliness, they must create their own.
  • And, this bunch isn't being all that creative.
  • Paul got bonked in the nose while raising one of the awnings in the yard.
  • The dude seems chronically congested. Now it will make him worse. Maybe he'll sound like Felix Unger on the original TV series The Odd Couple. Honk! HONK!
  • James thinks that eventually the two big dogs, Frank and Paulie, will go at each other.
  • I think that will happen only if others don't off them first.
  • Well, not really off. I'm not promoting violence here. I'm talking eviction.
  • Paul tried to gather alliance intel from Zakiyah and Nicole re: girls alliances. He didn't get much cooperation and gave it up.
  • He's still thinking he's a huge double agent for the Paulie side of the house, gathering intel from Frank and Bridgette and reporting back.
  • I think that's gonna bite him in the butt. 
  • Huh. Zakiyah doesn't know how to swim, but she surely knows how to wear a bathing suit!
  • Bridgette and Frank still think Paulie voted for Bronte to go.
  • Frank wants Da'Vonne out this week, Nicole next.
  • Paulie wants Tiffany out.
  • I'm thinking it's probably go to be Tiffany out rather than Da'Vonne. Natalie probably won't even get one vote.
  • Tiffany continues to spill alliance beans to Frank.
  • And then Bridgette.
  • And then she even talked to Paulie.
  • I don't think it will do her any good. 
  • She might get Bridgette and Frank voting to keep her. But the rest want her out more than they want Da'Vonne out at the moment.
  • Tiffany told Bridgette and Frank every secret she knows and some that she's just heard about.
  • She told Paulie that she's sure she's going so she's telling all.
  • Paulie continues to lie to her, saying that she wasn't his target last week and he thought it was Bronte going all along.
  • Yeah, right.
  • As she did with her Frank/Bridgette talks, she's painting a picture of Da'Vonne to be the Instigator of All That's Evil in the World.
  • Now Paulie is in on the Get Rid of Da'Vonne Train ... but not this week. He wants Tiffany out this week.
  • Paulie and Frank compared their Tiffany notes. 
  • At least the ones concerning Da'Vonne.
  • The general consensus is that Tiffany goes this week, Da'Vonne next.
  • That is ... unless they can get Frank out.
  • The drama goes on.

Does he wear those socks and sneaks in real life?

James hasn't been pranking lately

Tiffany is making the rounds, telling her stories

Making the rounds ... still

BB18: Nominations, Road Kill Episode Blog Party - July 17



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!

But first ... let's have recaps of what's happened.

After HoH, Frank goes off on Nicole, blaming the girls for the voting flip. Everybody is denying responsibility for saving Tiffany. He's freaking. Natalie's crying because her BFF Bronte is gone. Wah. Bridgette is upset that her buddy Bronte went home on her HoH.

Tiffany confronted Frank and told him she was never coming after him. Frank told her Da'Vonne told him that she started a five girl alliance targeting him. So, now he confronts Da'Vonne.  

Da'Vonne realizes she's blowing her own game and tries for damage control with Frank. He's not really buying it. He's still her number one target, she tells us. 

Paulie wanted Tiffany out last week. So, this week she's his target as HoH. 

Now, the whole crowd who saved Tiffany is regretting it. Tiffany walks in the room and everybody shuts up and slowly leave. 

Natalie, who voted for Tiffany to go, is the only one reaching out to help her in her time of need. She cries. She cries some more. 

Tiffany goes to talk to Frank ... crying. He tells her he was against her because Da'Vonne told him she was targeting. She decides she want to work with Frank and, if she goes out, she'll go out with a bang. She spills the beans on everybody to Frank -- Paulie and Corey want him out and on and on. 

Da'Vonne walks in on them, then walks out. She reports back to Paul and Nicole.

Da'Vonne meets up with Tiffany alone. They're talking in circles at each other. Zakiyah walks in. Tiffany goes off on them about being alone in the game. She cries some more. Paul eavesdrops outside.  

Nominations time! Tiffany and Natalie. He says that he, Frank and Bridgette wanted her out last week, cited similarities between her and Vanessa and that she's dangerous. He said he has never really connected with Natalie. 

The Road Kill RV is there! The smells inside are disgusting. Must eradicate the odor by hanging up the most air fresheners possible in a color order. If they fall, cannot rehang. "Gasping for Air." They have to hang them on certain ropes, climbing over and under them. 

Time for the secret reveal ... and ... TIFFANY WINS ROAD KILL! 

It's a secret. Shh. She tells Da'Vonne and hints she's safe. She tells Frank and Bridgette. She wants Corey. Frank suggests Nicole.

Time for the Road Kill reveal -- it's Corey who's nominated!
