Season 18 Live Feed Discussion: Their Lives are Almost as Boring as Ours!

A week of gloating followed by four weeks of being Piiiiissed that America didn't care enough about Our Boy Paulie having a week of safety or co-HoH. I would find that delicious. I would eat it up with a spoon, add extra chocolate sauce, and ask for seconds. I'm officially over everyone in the house and I'm only invested in the Natalie/James showmance but I don't think either of them have a shot at winning the game so I just want maximum butthurt in the house to entertain me. They haven't been very entertaining lately. 

I just feel like it might not be that dramatic. He might assume that America didn't know about the other prizes and he'll just assume America loves him enough to get A prize. I'd love to see him get his hopes up each week, only to become disappointed and angry every week someone else gets something. Now that would be delicious.

They are cute but Victor is my favorite.  I would love for him to win the show but that just will not happen.  I already voted for Victor but there is some wisdom in giving this to Bridget so if Victor is still there we can give him a better one.

I'd take that, too. 

But in reality? It's like I said earlier. I don't think the broadcast only viewers, who probably far outnumber the feeds watchers, will care enough to think that far ahead or be bothered to look and see what's going to be available in coming weeks. And Paulie's TV edit isn't that bad compared to what it could be so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets one. And possibly one of the good ones. 

[Wings]

This is easy to overthink.  I think an HG who gets something from viewers would easily interpret that as being liked and a favorite.  

[Lisin]

Just realized we probably won't get feeds back until after it airs in the west coast so that the "spoiler" that Frank didn't have the Round Trip doesn't "leak" just like last week it was because they didn't want us to know Victor was back until after the Friday episode. Boo. I have to sleep at some point!

[Wings]

It airs here PST at 9pm so the feeds won't come on until 1 am!  

[Lisin]

I know!! WAH! I can't stay up that late! (Spoiler, I'm totally staying up that late... tomorrow's Friday... it will be fine right?!)

I voted for Victor to get the Never Not because I think it will piss people off and make Paul mad.

This annoys me and since I'm a west coaster, I find it a little funny at the same time. For years I've bitched that east coast viewers get everything before me and it was because of that that I pay an extra $5 a month to my cable company to get time shifting so I can watch all my favourite shows at their east coast times (and have nine million different versions of CTV, like holy hell there's a lot of them). And Big Brother was a big reason why I pay for time shifting, because I was tired of having to wait until later to watch the live show and have the HoH comp finished on the feeds by the time/before the show aired here. And now they do this.

So I apologize on behalf of west coasters like me who have bitched and whined for years about it. We're sorry, guys. We didn't mean for this to happen. We just wanted to be included, too.

[Katesus7]

We central time zone peeps are screwed either way. Fucking secret room.

It will be fine. I am not sure what will be fine but Friday is always a good day, even if you sleep through it.  Maybe your sewer could back up in your shower and you have to call in out for the day at work.  Great excuse btw  That really happened to me.  If you live in a condo you will have to for a pipe leaking into your wall.

Feeds up...I think Paul may have won.

[Lady Calypso]

So, I think the feeds are back? 

Paul won.

Fuck us all.

[bafleyanne]

Seriously? Ugh.

[Callaphera]

Can the feeds go back down so we can get a better winner? Nope?

Fuck.

ETA: Your girl Callaphera is Piiiiiissed.

[Lisin]

OMG IT'S BACK!!!

[Katesus7]

Paul won? Oh, y'all, we are in for an HOHitis week from hell. Oh, this is bad. I can't. Let me know which woman he decides is most deserving of his bullshit. But I am having none of this. 

[Umbelina]

I canceled and got my free month.

It's what all the cool kids are doing.

[katifantastico]

Paulie is a Have Not.

[Callaphera]

Well, there's another week of feeds I probably won't be watching. 

[Lady Calypso]

LOL, Paul wants to put up either Victor or Corey as a pawn. Victor's like 'uh, no dude, I already got evicted and fought to get my ass back in this house. Pick someone else'. So I guess it'll be Victor and Bridgette up on the block.

[Lisin]

PISSED

At this rate, I feel like you won't be watching the feeds for the rest of the season.

I can't say I blame you. I'll probably be skipping out on this week as well. 

[Wings]

Damn, there goes Victor.  

[Brian Cronin]

Paul wasn't going anywhere this week no matter who was HOH, so if any of Paulie's minions was going to win, I'm fine with him, since he'll undoubtedly be a total asshole and it will at least hopefully hurt his game a bit when everyone gets sick of his shit.

Nat, Pawly, and Zika are have nots.

Good point.

So is Corey, I think. Nicole's complaining about not having her cuddle buddy. 

[Wings]

Michele cries as Frank holds her.  I don't want to see you gooooooooo.  sob...tears.....

Then she votes for Stank oh I mean Frank.   

[zenithwit]

Hopefully once Paul gets some "blood on his hands" he'll be targeted and gone for good.  Knowing my luck, he'll have the round trip ticket.

[Umbelina]

Hopefully Paul sinks his game this week, it's happened before.

Also, that he plants his ass in HOH and stays there.

Yeah, I'm sure it's the cuddling she will miss. 

[Lady Calypso]

Oh look, we get Paul popping into every single feed, as if he knows which cameras are on. But now, he's HOH, so we get to hear his embelished stories and his bragging and ego fill up the feeds.

I forced myself through the Frankie Grande Experience two seasons ago. I think that broke something in me. I just can't anymore. I'll still keep up to date with various sites and through here but listening to a week of Paul in power? Not gonna happen. They could tell me that Rachel Reilly and Britney Haynes are going in the house instead of Zingbot to completely tear these people to pieces and I probably still wouldn't watch (because you know it would be blocked from the feeds anyway). 

What do we have to do to Make America Big Brother Great Again?

[thefog]

Paulie threw the HOH.  There is no way he would have gone out first.

[Umbelina]

Fire Grodner.

It's a crap shoot skill, he could have had a bad throw.

[SiobhanJW]

Well I guess I'll just be keeping up the feeds on here/Twitter. I cannot watch a week of Paul.

Not according to Joker's - who said he played slower than the others - and did not appear disappointed when he lost.

[Lady Calypso]

Well...if this helps anyone, Tiffany asked on Twitter if America had the choice of two noms, who people would put up. I know there's still the general audience, but Tiffany fans at least want to put up a mixture of Paul/Paulie/Nicole as the most popular choices.

Paulie apparently just confirmed that he did throw it. 

[Katesus7]

Paulie and Paul both said they were going to throw it. Paulie did, Paul either tried to and failed, or his ego got the better of him.

[mooses]

What did we do to deserve this?!  We'll never hear the end of his win and how good he is at the game of Big Brother. I hope this HOH blows up in his face. 

The "Care Package" is an interesting idea, but my likes and dislikes seem to never match up with America so I'm never too happy about a vote. A newbie will never win, but I'd like Bridgette or Natalie to win just so the rest of the House has a good think about how awful they are.

I think Paulie had said today he was planning on throwing it. 

[Brian Cronin]

It makes sense for Paulie to throw it this week. No one is coming for him this week at all. So why win HoH?

[Lady Calypso]

Bridgette seems sad, but I guess Victor, James, and Natalie are all talking to her. I shut off the feeds a few minutes ago, but that seems really sweet.

Damnit, Victor. You're getting me to really like you. 

I want a Victor/James/Natalie F3. I'll even say I want Nicole in the F4. My wants NEVER EVER match up with what the final weeks look like, though. I can't remember the last time it happened. I mean, last season, Vanessa got to the finals, but I had stopped watching at that point because the Austwins really pissed me off. Season 16 had Derrick deservedly win, but I was mad at how he never got nominated until the last week. Season 15 was...yeah. Season 14 might be the last time I liked all three of the finalists. But none of my favourites have won yet. I did not like Hayden in season 12, Rachel's win was rigged to the extreme, Ian was alright but Dan was who I was rooting for, 15 was a mess, Derrick was the best choice but not my best choice, and Steve was...well, I guess I liked him but I was rooting for Vanessa.

I just know this season is, yet again, going to disappoint me.

I think that Paul probably shouldn't have won either because he might make a few people unhappy depending on if his Bridgette/Victor plan goes awry. 

James better pray Natalie doesn't get up there because it might be too tempting for the HGs to get rid of half of a pair.

DON'T PUT THAT OUT INTO THE UNIVERSE.

Ha! Before the feeds came back, I was like, "If Paul wins he will never stop talking about his strategy and how he did it." And then he won.

Why did I put that into the universe?! 

[ByaNose]

The easy vote would be Bridgette. I'm not sure who this HOH or any HOH should get rid of. I guess Paulie? He's a physical threat, likable enough & in sort of a showmance with both Z & Paul. He's the major threat, right?

Paulie is the biggest threat to all their games IMO but nobody wants him gone, and Paul will never put him up.

I expect a Da'Vonne or Nicole BD will be pushed after Veto. And, if that happens, a Round Trip ticket right back in.

ETA: The Have-Not room is going to be crowded this week with all the Showmances.
