I can't quite tell if James is playing to win or just make sure that Paul doesn't win.

Down to James, Nicole and Paul. There is a rep for each pair remaining.

Victor down but not out.

Paulie down. Victor has made BB history.

Looks like James is giving Nicole advice. Not sure if it is legit or not. Know James, I'm guessing it is.

Corey's down.

On a side note, it looks like voting for the last care package doesn't start until 3am Eastern Time. Come on BB, I have work tomorrow!

That was an awesome episode. Really excited to watch this comp on the Live Feeds.

Ditto. I was listening to the feeds while making dinner and it was just Victor telling everyone about all the times he had to go to the ER (with Nicole's "Oh my gawwwwd" reaction to everything). Then Paul tried to outdo Victor with all of his gross medical stuff and I was like "No, thank you."

Veto ceremony over. I think Corey is officially on the block.

This. I can't imagine Les Moonves was too happy seeing Paulie physically pick up his wife like that. I wouldn't be surprised if Paulie experienced some sort of malfunction during the jury buy back.

Would they not vote Victor out? James is the deciding vote. So it's all on him. ETA: Unless Michelle goes rogue and nominates James.

Everyone is wet and Victor just said that they (BB) have never done this comp before.

Noooo!!!!! Feeds back. Looks like Paul won. Bye Victor?

Anyone in the greater LA area with one of those Go Pro drones?

It seems that Paul's only hope of staying this week is either winning veto or staying on the block with Victor. If he is on the block with Victor, Nicole & Corey have the deciding power and there is a possibility that they may be more threaten by Victor's comp wins. But if Paul is up there with Corey, then James becomes the deciding vote and that doesn't look so good for Paul. Either way, if Paul remains on the block, he will have to seriously tone down his behavior. One would think that Natalie & James would prefer the scenario where James is the deciding vote that way they have more control of the house & vote. But knowing that these people are afraid of having "blood of their hands", it may be best to let Nicole and Corey make that decision. I like that Natalie is playing to win. She should seriously consider taking Nicole to the F2. With this sexist group, she would reduce her likelihood of winning sitting next to a man and with Nicole, there is the added bonus that she is a vet (which may be viewed unfavorably by the jury). I could only see Paulie and Corey voting for Nicole. But of course, none of these people know about the jury buyback. So all of this may be a moot point...

Nooooo!!!!! We have a jury buy back. Also, it seems that the HOH competition won't be until tomorrow. Did I hear that correctly?

The feeds just cut from Paulie's conversation with James to all four cameras on Natalie and Michelle laying out by the pool. Yeah, production is over Paulie. I think before the cut, he was trying to blame his relationship with his ex-fiancee failing on Cody's fame from being on the show. Then James was like "Well, you coming on the show probably didn't make things easier." lol Now it seems we have moved on to Paul and Corey in the kitchen...

Michelle may have inadvertently fallen into a good position. If Paulie does leave this week (and doesn't come back), the house will 3 strong pairs + Michelle. It seems reasonable that the pairs would target each other and try to break up close partnerships. Plus, with Michelle's constant crying, she likely will not be considered an end game threat. She might even be considered a goat at this point (I feel like that term takes on a new meaning with Corey in the house lol). At this rate, Michelle might be able to easily slide into F4.

Natalie isn't buying any of Paulie's BS. Thank goodness!

Kinda feels like Paulie is trying to turn his edit around. Not sure how successful he will be lol.

Does anyone know when they will be playing the next HOH competition?

Yeah, I was shocked as well. I hope that Victor gets booed on his way out and that Z gets the super safety care package next week. From what I can tell, the house is leaning towards evicting Michelle this week (of course that could change). Does anyone have stronger estimates on the probability that Z will make it through to next week?

Paulie needs to weigh how much he needs/wants Z's vote if/when he makes it to final 2. If he doesn't use the veto and Z goes, he will permanently lose her vote (and probably Day's too). I can't imagine a "woman scorched" would be good for his game. Though maybe he cares more about his relationship with his bros than her?

Victor just told Michelle that no one has gone up to the HoH bedroom to talk to him. Only Paul & Paulie (aka the Douchekins) have stopped in a couple of times to "pick his brain." Uh...... Victor, get a clue!
