BB18: Live Feeds HoH Endurance Comp Updates - September 8

As soon as the live feeds return, this post will be updated with the happenings and screen caps of the HoH Endurance Competition. Refresh the page to get the latest updates!

10:02pm ET - I have audio, no video on the feeds.
10:03pm ET - Video came up to join the audio.

It's sad that I recognized Nicole breathing heavy.

10:11pm ET - Corey still in the lead. Paul still second, but falls almost every time going back for a refill. Nicole still working to get the larger scoop. James switched to the big container, did not fill the small one for the larger scoop. He's slacking. He has said he wants to win the more important NEXT HoH.

James

I was mistaken -- Paul is going for the small container. I didn't have a good angle on him. Corey is WAY WAY in the lead.

10:20pm ET - Into Jeff interview loops for a bit.

James again ... or still.

10:27pm ET - Corey is almost on the halfway mark.  No one else is anywhere near him. Nicole SHOULD be able to get the larger scoop, but is having trouble figuring out how to do it. James is still crawling. Paul is still falling.

10:29pm ET - Nicole has the big scoop.

No butter friendship here

Definitely not an even race going on

10:41pm ET - Corey more than halfway full. James in second, Nicole in third. Paul might as well give up the ghost -- he gave up on the bigger scoop, but is way behind everyone else. Nicole is the only one with the big scoop.

Getting there

The bigger scoop isn't huge

We keep having intermittent Jeff interview (Derrick) interruptions.

10:52pm ET - Paul is still trying for the larger scoop although he's also been putting butter in the larger container. Why is he even bothering?

10:56pm ET - Nicole is almost at the halfway mark on the large container. Corey still way in the lead.

11:00pm ET - A long more than just a few minutes Jeff interruption. Grr.

It will be over soon

11:07pm ET - COREY WINS HOH

THE WINNER!

BB18: Live Eviction, HoH Comp Start Blog Party - September 8

Michelle Meyer - Rich, Chase, Glenn, Anonymouse, Delee

Let's get this party started!

Before the recap, Julie said a showmance, bromance and romance were on the line. She thinks James and Natalie is a romance?

There will be a jury segment and a Jeff/Jordan bit tonight.

Is the honeymoon over for Natalie and James? Well, yeah ... but. Nicole wants to work with James. Natalie is angry about James's game moves with Nicole and Corey. Lots of discussion on who to keep, lots of distrust of Paul/Victor coming from Nicole. Paul and Victor are also trying to get on James's good side.

The Natalie/James bicker segment aired. Now all four of the others in the house are sympathizing with James.

Jeff and Jordan time. They were getting married on the 24th but got pregnant in Mexico during the winter, married in March. It's going to be a boy. Jordan thinks Victor will win the season; Jeff thinks Paul.

Jury segment as Michelle arrives. Da'Vonne is really ticked that James threw the comp to Nicole. Bridgette is shocked Michelle didn't get the hint she was the target.

To the living room - talk to the nominees.
Natalie - Thanks her family, honored to play, James is my new best friend and soulmate.
James - Family, honor to play with Natalie, my game and faith is in y'alls hands.

The votes to evict:
Paul -- Natalie
Nicole -- Natalie
Corey -- Natalie

Unanimous (as expected) ... Natalie is evicted. Despite live feeds threats earlier, she's all smiles and goodness going out the door.

HoH Comp (start) time. Victor can't compete as outgoing HoH.

It's a movie-themed slip and slide, they need to get 8 gallons in the container -- first to do so. Small container can be filled to retrieve a larger scoop. Corey is off to the best start followed by Paul. Both of them are going directly for the larger container. Nicole and James aren't doing as well, both going to try for the larger scoop.

Schedule change - Tuesday and Wednesday, football on Thursday.

In a few minutes, a new post will pop up here to watch the HoH comp on the live feeds. Join us over there!

BB18: Live Feeds Overnight into Thursday - September 8

Make her go away. Please.

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

• Oh, wait. They're hamsters.
• Hmm ... there might even be a rat or two in there.
• Rodents!
• It's almost painful to watch the feeds.
• After sleeping away half the day, Natalie is keeping James up all night talking.
• Doesn't she realize that he needs some sleep so he can compete in the HoH comp?
• Not that the others provided any late night amusement for us.
• Now, I watch the live feeds. My TV cable company dropped POP, so I don't watch BBAD at all. During other seasons since BBAD it bothered me that the house hamsters acted like the BBAD airing time was the only time they were being watched and did all kinds of stuff during those hours. 
• This bunch? Not so much. I can just imagine someone channel surfing wondering why one channel has people sleeping via night vision cameras.
• They sleep away a good portion of the day, too.
• Well, they should be well-rested to return to the real work-a-day world.
• Not that many will, of course.
• They all talk globe-trotting or, at least visiting each other in various states. I guess money grows on trees somewhere. Of the ones left, I think all still live at home with parents except James, maybe Natalie.
• I'm very tired of hearing Natalie blow her own horn. I had to listen to how she is what makes one charity and she is the best at this, best at that.
• I don't go around doing that. Even when I think I'm good at something, I just let the results speak. At least I hope so.
• (I do have the best bunch of people hanging out on this blog ... but that's not just me!)
• Let's see ... what else happened?
• Um. They played poker with Starburst candies as poker chips.
• That was exciting.
• Not.
• I think BB took away their dominoes when they gave them the cards.
• What would have been better would have been BB giving them tons of dominoes and challenging them to create falling dominoes stuff around the house to see who can make the most fall.
• You know what I mean.
• In other news, it seems extremely likely that James will be staying. Nicole and Corey want to work with him and they're two of the three votes.
• Paul and Victor even think they might get him to work with them. That's the third vote.
• Nobody has told Natalie that she's no longer a pawn, but a target.
• Yet, her erratic behavior, her constant talk of going to jury and her speech ... she knows.
• James keeps being patient with her.
• One thing has changed, though -- James is no longer trying to convince her that he's the target.
• She needs to let him go to sleep! 
• He is a much kinder person than I would ever be in those circumstances.

Late night PB&J cravings

Talking about the PoV comp with James

If he goes next week, we never cared

This SHOULD be his response to Natalie

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening - September 7

Breakfast cooking at 1:15pm their time

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of a Pernicious Pom-Pom Pal:

• Yes, breakfast was being cooked there well into the afternoon here ... almost early evening!
• These are the sleepingest (yeah, that's not a word, but I never cared) bunch of hamsters ever.
• BB gave them a deck of cards.
• Goody goody. Now we can watch them play cards, play dominoes or play chess.
• I'd rather puppet shows by Victor with Baldwin!
• James is still just lurking around with Natalie.
• Hasn't he been hurt enough?
• For the most part, those two remain segregated from the rest.
• Natalie has been acting weird ... almost like she's high on something although that is improbable, to say the least.
• Paul is all antsy.
• At one point he kept running around peeking in the windows until the BB voice shut that down with a "Stop that!"
• I really wish James wouldn't mumble so much. I turn up the feeds volume to hear him and then the others shout.
• Supposedly, Natalie and James agreed to be just friends.
• I still think he's hurting. She pulled off some rather mean moves and he has been nothing but thoughtful and considerate to her.
• Yet he remains patient and kind to her.
• It still looks like James will stay out of the two.
• I need for her to go.
• She's irking me.

James packs

Paul is acting up a lot today. "Stop that!"

Lost in thought? Or, just lost?

Oh boy! We can watch them play cards!

Yet James still hangs with her

BB18: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - September 7

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 -- please join in on the fun there as we watch the show together!

But first ... a recap.

We pick things up after the nominations ceremony. Victor vows to do the same with James as he did with Paulie. Natalie knows she's the pawn, but doesn't want James to go.  

Nicole cries in the Diary Room because she feels guilty that James is on the block after James saved Corey last week.

Paul overhears Natalie being all cheery about being on the block and he sees no friendship there. He wishes she hadn't been told that she's the pawn. Natalie thinks that Nicole set them up. She seems to be blaming James for their previous decisions (like she had no say in the matter).

Natalie decides, since she "betrayed" Paul and Victor, she needs to talk to them. She apologizes and throws James under the bus! She told them they had her back and she shouldn't have trusted James.

WHAT!?!?! 

Paul, especially, sees right through her and neither he nor Victor like that she threw her "ride or die" under the bus. Paul and Victor go right to Nicole and Corey about the talk. Natalie lies to James or at least omits the part that she threw him under the bus. 

Veto comp time -- all play because they're down to six. It's a McGyver related comp tied in to promote the new CBS show. They have to each escape "the compound" using MacGyver ways. The one in the shortest time wins. The winner also wins a trip to the MacGyver set in Atlanta. (Ah, that's why someone won a trip to Atlanta!) 

Natalie: 9 minutes, 6 second. Since she has completed her mission, she is allowed to watch Nicole (next one) on a monitor. Nicole isn't doing as well. Heh. The clock went over Natalie's time and the compound "blew up." Nicole is out. Victor is up next. He almost got it!

James is up. He does horribly in the comp. Corey is up. He takes over the veto from Natalie with a time of six minutes, fourteen seconds. 

Paul's turn. He does poorly. Corey won the veto.

Oh, geez. James tells Natalie that he's going to tell the others to vote him out. He said that had he won veto he would have taken her off the block.

The others talk about which one needs to go. Victor wants James to go because he's the one who got him evicted. But Natalie is stronger at comps, smarter (?) and more. Which one? 

James goes to Corey to ask they vote him out. Yikes. Corey is noncommittal.

Natalie asks James if the threw the comp, then asks if he has a final two or three deal with Nicole. Showing a lot of distrust there, girl. She tells him she will never talk to him if he works with them. She says she's going to go home because she trusted him. James is really hurt. He would never do that to a friend.

Paul and Victor want to talk to James about Natalie throwing him under the bus. Maybe James will realize she's no "ride and die" for him! 

Veto meeting -- each talk for a moment, James won't campaign against Natalie. Takes blame for himself being on the block. Corey does not use the PoV.

BB18: Live Feeds into Wednesday - September 7

Mmm! A half-gallon of ice cream!

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

• Still no fisticuffs.
• But there was a bit more excitement in the late night hours than there was all day yesterday.
• BB gave them alcohol, a rarity this season.
• Not that they gave them enough to really do any damage. It was like a six-pack of beer and a couple of bottles of wine for six people.
• Unless one person hogs that all, there really isn't much to get excited about!
• The big excitement started with someone outside the yard and a megaphone.
• Ah, memories of Kitty, the Megaphone Lady of BB2 (if memory serves), memories of fans throwing candy and notes over the fence, memories of banner planes ... the good ol' days of Big Brother!
• We got fish and then into Jeff highlights loops.
• From the context of what little was said without being interrupted by fish or Jeff, it was something about James and Nicole in an alliance.
• Well, WE knew that they did have one. But is there too much water under the bridge since the beginning? Are they deep down that loyal to each other to be such good actors? Hmm. They were friends outside the house before going in together. Hmm.
• The other big news is that James finally woke up and realizes that he and Natalie will never be a couple.
• Well, duh.
• She went off to bed to sulk while James talked everything out with the rest of the hamsters.
• Interesting.
• So, James keeps (whether it's his intention or not) working his way into the midst of the others while Natalie continues to alienate them.
• Yet James keeps caring about her and doesn't want to see her hurt.
• Gah!
• Natalie told James she never threw him under the bus.
• I say, "Did too!"
• I have to admit that she does seem to be a bit torn between wanting to stay and wanting to go.
• She told James she wants him to stay and can't campaign against him.
• Yet, we know she has.
• I have a personal bias in this because I think James is an honorable truly nice kind of guy. But I also don't think Natalie ever really intended this to turn into such an infatuation on his part. She's looking for friends and good times. He's looking for the love of his life.
• At this point, they're both hurting in different ways.
• It seems the latest Natalie crisis had to do with the megaphone and an Nicole/James pre-show final two deal.
• Hmm.
• I don't see Corey getting all up in arms about it.
• But we did see Nicole tell Corey she wants the final three to include James with them.
• Hmm.
• The Natalie/James "discussion" went on for HOURS and isn't really resolved although by before dawn she was scarfing down ice cream while he joked around in the kitchen. 
• She even wanted to self-evict at one point. James "shattered her heart," y'know. 
• I hate to quote Paul but, "Go ahead. Never cared."
• Of course, James apologized to her.
• Sheesh. She should be apologizing to him!
• But that's how James is.
• It's looking quite possible that he will stay this week instead of Natalie.
• I think Nicole wants him to stay (final two deal?). Corey will vote whatever Nicole decides. That would be all he needs to stay. Paul is likely to vote with the other two.
• I hope that's the case even though I've been very disappointed with him this season.

Most likely to remain a couple afterwards

So, this is my neck?

I won't miss these two.

I've invested too much in her. (D'oh!)

Whazzat? I hear something!

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.

Boring

Bored

BB18: Live Feeds into Tuesday - September 6

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

BB18: Live Feeds into Monday - September 5

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.

BB18: HoH Comp Completion, Nominations Show Blog Party - September 4

Hamster watchers ready?! What fox will rule the chicken coop and be the new HoH?

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!

Previously on Big Brother and blah-blah-blah ... 

After the recap, we pick up on the eggs/chicken wire comp in action. They're wasting FOOD, I say in my best Victor impersonation. 

Flip back to right before the eviction. Nicole warns James and Natalie that they're probably going to evict Michelle tonight because she hasn't approached them at all. Some last minute tears and scrambling from Michelle. But we know it's to no avail. 

Back to the comp and many broken eggs. 

Corey goes for the Have basket and makes it. Victor gets a target, then Natalie does the same. Then Corey got one. Paul got one. Corey has two letters of the three down, then Victor does the same. Natalie has her second letter. Lots of close calls. Natalie broke an egg on her ramp thus making it even harder for her.

Paul finally got his second letter. They haven't mentioned that both James and Paul have eggs in the Have basket, along with Corey.

James finally got his first letter. 

Victor gets his third letter, acts like a testosterone injected idiot and wins HOH. 

James knows his butt is going up, as does Natalie.

Paul says a Victor win is a Paul win. Nicole and Corey ingratiated themselves to both Victor and Paul last week, keeping them safe and giving Victor the five grand "gift" bribe. 

Heh. They went back to Michelle grabbing Pablo and Paul's reaction. BB had a photo of Pablo, the inflatable pelican floatie, turn to black and white.

Lots of self-congratulations going on with Paul and Victor. 

Natalie fusses that she will either be alone in the house without James or be in jury without James. They promise to use the veto on each other. Gah. 

After a few puff filler segments, James goes to Paul and Victor and tells them that they were working with Nicole and Corey. Victor points out that they (Natalie and James) flipped and betrayed them after the Paulie exit. 

Nominations ceremony -- Victor nominates Natalie and James, tells Natalie she's the pawn.
