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

[Umbelina]

It's time for Paulie to volunteer to be a pawn, don't you think?

Then for the other houseguests, led by Day, to get him out.

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?! 

Basically you just aren't allowed to speak anymore. HAHAHAHA.

Why do you keep torturing yourself, lol.  None of this will happen.

Be prepare - Paulie likely will end up with one of the better care packages.  Most viewers don't follow the feeds.  And he is seen as one of the few that is even playing the game.

[Umbelina]

You never know, both Polly and Paul were talking big about being willing to be pawns last week.

[mooses]

Paulie/Corey/James already talking about getting Paul to try and take a shot at Da'Vonne. They have gathered around their leader to see what he demands.

For some reason I feel like casual viewers of the show don't really vote. My best friend and I have watched since season 1 and even he doesn't vote. I think it's the serious fans that vote and I mean VOTE. Which reminds me, I wonder if the multiple CBS accounts I opened to vote for Donny AFP are still good. Because I will be dusting them off this week for sure. I think I had 4 extra so that means 100 votes a day. Let's do this!! LOL.

[Umbelina]

Paulie's target is Day.  Well, he's not stupid, she is definitely his biggest threat.  I hate to admit it but it's true.  Well, anyway, he's thinking about it, he probably wants Bridgette out first.

He told Corey that Day has been campaigning hard to get out Nicole, and that Nicole has to go soon too.

Edited July 29, 2016 by Umbelina

[Umbelina]

Paul is fighting a Day nom, Paulie now pushing for a Natalie nom as a pawn, because he doesn't want a majority of women voters that could save Day.

Paul doesn't seem to be going for this.  He wants Bridgette gone.

 

PP fight!

[mooses]

Paulie presents his plan to Paul. Paul - "Dude, I gotta get Bridgette out ... I don't want to go back on my word." 

After some pushing, Paul said he wants Bridgette/Victor up ... he'll put Da'Vonne up after Veto to protect his ass. Paulie said put Natalie up as a pawn - Paul doesn't want to do that to James. Paulie thinks he'll agree.

Paul doesn't like much of what Paulie is planning. "I still want [Bridgette] gone. I don't want Bridgette here." 

James is not going to be happy if they approach him about Natalie. And Paulie is going to push hard for Da'Vonne to go. Curious if Paul will cave (I think he will and Bridgette is not going to to end up leaving this week).

I mean, we'll get a passive aggressive battle between Paulie and Paul. Paulie wants Day gone, Paul wants Bridgette. Um, yay? I get to see a ton of bro talks debating which girl deserves to go or deserves to stay? And I know, I know, the fact that these women are so petty and willing to go after each other is a huge part of the problem.

A passive-aggressive battle between them might not be the worst thing in the world.  They might turn on each other, or at least recognize that what is in their own individual best interests do not necessarily coincide with each other.  If that happens, we might, maybe, wind up with one or both of them targeting the other sooner rather than later.

[mooses]

There really is no reason that Paul should get out Nicole/Da'Vonne - as long as they're still there, they're gunning for each other and Paulie is gunning for them. They both trust him. Getting Bridgette out is silly for the other HGs, but it's probably a good, safe move for Paul.

That's why many are power voting for Paulie to get this one, so he WON'T get one of the others.

[Umbelina]

Paulie saying if he plays veto and wins he will pull of Bridgette to get Day backdoored

[mooses]

Before Frank left he told Paul he was upset because everyone talks about "honoring the HOH" every week except Bridgette's reign - I wonder if Paul will remember that and feel the same way if Paulie does what he wants instead of listening to Paul.

I think the PPs are really getting pissed at each other.  Hopefully, the beginning of the end here.

Paul was pawn for Paulie, why can't he return the favor?

evil laugh here

Corey asks Nicole about volunteering as a pawn, she's definitely not on board.

[Lady Calypso]

So Nicole is whining about how she doesn't want to go up on the block because she never put Paul up and how she doesn't want to fight for her life right now. She wants Natalie to go up as a pawn and she will be pissed if she goes up. Are you serious? You do realize that this is a game and you have to do things you don't want to do, right? 

Although she just suggested Paulie should go up and my anger has subsided.

She shouldn't want to go up, but this is what she gets for letting Paulie run circles around the House. She would probably go home if she's up there, unless it's against Da'Vonne.

[Cutty]

Corey is convincing Nicole to go up. She really is the fucking worst.

If these girls don't realize they're in a really bad position after this, they're horrible. But this would mean they'd have to talk to each other instead of just listening to their boyfriends, so I'm not hopeful.

[Lady Calypso]

She really is making me want her to go up now. She wants Natalie to go up because she's like Victoria. She says that Big Brother is not about taking turns and it should be strategic. Then, she told Corey that she has anxiety and shouldn't go up for health reasons. GIRL, you're on Big Brother. You will go up on the block at some point. You've played the game before. I know you have a feeling you could go home because you screwed your own game, but shut up. 

[Umbelina]

Why?  No one should WANT to go on the block.  She knows Day is after her too.

[mooses]

Nobody should accept going up. Nicole should especially should be upset that Corey is asking her to go up - the one person who should be fighting for her not to. It's shady - stop whining, Nicole - think!

ETA: Everybodys scrambling so that Paulie's plan works out. How stupid.

I wouldn't expect anyone to want to go up on the block, and that's why I dislike Paul trying to get someone to volunteer to avoid getting blood on his hands. But it's Nicole's whining and trying to divert from the real reason that's frustrating. She just has to say that she won't volunteer. She doesn't want to go. That's it. Her trying to get Natalie to go up instead is kind of ridiculous too. She could get Zak or Michelle up because they are guaranteed safe, unlike her and Natalie. But I know she doesn't want to make them mad either. 

I wish Paul would just put up Paulie and be done with it. 

[Umbelina]

Nicole or Day as a pawn are not safe.  At all.  No one really is because Victor and Bridgette can both win comps.

Yes, Paulie, talk Z into it, she's an idiot and useless anyway.

"No. I already went up. There's plenty of people who haven't gone up at all. If I agree to this I'm going to just keep getting used as the pawn. I'm not doing that"

I love that Nicole woke up Natalie to ask her to up. How rude!

Nicole's doing the right thing.  If she or Day is the "pawn" they are going home.

Over the years I have.   I've watched Survivor and seen it there too.  Basically, it's just another tactic - make 'em feel sorry for me and maybe I'll get their vote.  If it works.......whatever wins the game.

I quickly grew tired of Derrick's "You're taking food out of my daughter's mouth!" Meanwhile, he chose to take three months off to be on the show instead of working to support his family.

[Lady Calypso]

I'm literally laying in bed, reading the Twitter updates on James putting his foot down with Paulie over Nat going up. He is basically telling him that he put in the work last week and the other members of their team should be doing the same, and that they shouldn't feel safe over not going up. Good for you, James. Get Nicole or Zak up there. Particularly the girl who has been doing shit all for the alliance. 

[Umbelina]

The boyz didn't bother to get James in on this.  That shows you where you stand James.

Nat is pissed but hiding it.

No one with a penis must go up this week, decrees the HOH Polly.  Oh wait, you aren't the HOH are you asshole?

Paul caved about that to Paulie, know your place boy!

Victor, Corey, or Paulie should go up.

Edited July 29, 2016 by Umbelina

[Umbelina]

Natalie threw this comp.

She was throwing perfect scores.  She just admitted it to James.

[SiobhanJW]

I'm sorry, but this I was already on the block so someone else who hasn't been up should go up. Or I'm a Have Not it's not fair if I go up on the block stuff is such bullshit. Oh I'm HOH, I don't feel like making the decision so you guys just pick the people to put up and tell me. I really hate all of these people I really do. 

Anyone of these HG would be crying if they played in previous season because they were so ruthless.

Paulie wants Day out.  Z is all for it.  He told "the boyz" that he would talk to Z about volunteering to be a pawn, but he didn't.  She's his real Victoria.

If you go up as a pawn, Nicole, it's obvious no one really cares what you want.

Well the suggestion of using Skittles come up. I still have PTSD from BB16 doing that. So guys it's been a pleasure chatting with you. I'm out for the week! See you guys next week! 

[mooses]

Nicole: If Bridgette wins Veto, who are you going to put up then?
...Silence.

Trying to decide who the pawn will be. Every girl gets named. Paulie's just sleeping on the HOH bed like a king.

James two-cents - if you're going to put Nat up, give her a heads up. Some friends these people are.

Edited July 29, 2016 by mooses

[Umbelina]

Every single person gets mentioned as a pawn EXCEPT Polly.

[mooses]

Now Michelle is planning to go up as a group and tell him they want Natalie up or they'll be mad at him. Nicole is upset that Natalie is smiling and getting her way. Nicole goes up and says "everyone wants Natalie up" and in walks Natalie and James. Paul tells Natalie he will not put her up. Now Nicole says everyone wants her up, so Paul changed his mind.

Calm down, Paul. This is Paulie's HOH. He has not left the HOH room once. Paul asks for some alone time with Nicole, and Paulie goes to the door, lets Natalie and James out and then...doesn't leave.

Paul says he told everyone to talk amongst themselves, come up with a name and bring it to him. He said, "Don't make him make that decision."

Edited July 29, 2016 by mooses

[CheetaraThunder]

They tried asking Z to be the pawn and she straight up said "hell no." I give it to Z: she has finally made up with Bridgette and they seem to be bonding more and more. But, man P/P/Z are probably the best liars in the house. They are lying without making it seem so awkward. 

Zakiyahs social game is probably the best thing I've seen this season ( I am all for her and Bridgette being cool too). And she is showing tiny glimpses of playing the game, strategically.

 

Through this whole mess right now, I think if the veto isn't use, I think Nicole is gone.

[CheetaraThunder]

Z hasn't said anything to Day about being backdoor directly, but she is basically hinting to Day that she needs to fucking win veto if she gets picked.

[J.D.]

Oh, Paul, you're going to crash and burn.

Paul's going to puff his chest out all week, make everyone miserable, change his mind (and target) a million times and in the end he'll come full circle and still be gunning for Bridgette.  Ridiculous!  Why Bridgette?  Paul's already acting like he's about to be making a major move in this game.  By the end of his HOH, he'll have alienated most of the house and pissed people off,....just like Frank did when power went to his head.  I expect Paul to be the target come next week.

Suppose TPTB's twist is that America gets to vote on the current nominees.  Would you vote to evict Bridgette, or vote to evict Frank?  I'd vote to evict Bridgette, only to annoy the rest of the HGs.

 I would adore a season with this format. Even if America only got a couple of times so that HG never knew if they were voting or America was.  

 No one would agree to be the pawn, so there would be actual conflict and drama about nominees.

 Of course it would probably just mean grodner would fix the votes  and whoever she wanted would leave.

Z trashing the hell out of Natalie with Polly and Paul in bed in the HOH last night.

What a stupid, catty, bitchy, jealous waste of space she is.  She even called Natalie a floater.  Yeah lady, what do you think you've been doing.

She'll vote Day out in a heartbeat if Paulie tells her to.

[Lady Calypso]

My worst fears have finally been realized: Natalie's now an active target. Nicole, Michelle, and Zak are all complaining about different things with her and I'm just so angry. Michelle's jealous of her for 'no reason' (aka Michelle's jealous of all girls at one point or another), Nicole's mad that Natalie's not playing the game and that Nicole's had it worse so Natalie shouldn't be complaining,and Zak is obsessed with Natalie having a boob job. They're literally all hypocrites narrowing in on Natalie. So, Big Brother, do YOU want a final five of all men? If so, it looks like you're getting it. 

As soon as Natalie goes, I'm done. I'm not sitting here to see Sexist Paulie win with Your Boy Paul sitting next to him. I'm not even here to see James sit next to him at this point. Nicole, Zak, and Michelle are all so, so, so, so stupid, it hurts. Natalie sees things but hasn't done a thing about it. Day's a goner but by her own hand. Bridgette has no power. Victor's also a goner. Corey's an idiot and not Paulie's number one bro anymore. 

The sad thing is that nothing can be done, because all the females want the females out, except for maybe Day, and maybe Natalie. The men are ALL skating by. Even if Day does have the Round Trip Ticket, the only way things work out is if she's given HOH immediately. Otherwise, she's back with no power and out the door the following week, prolonging this 99 day season. 

Paulie volunteered to go up as a pawn but Nicole started whining about feeling bad and insisted. Goddamnit. So it'll be either Nicole or Natalie. 

This season has officially become the worst for me. I lived in denial until now. The pecking order is surely Day, Bridgette, Natalie, Nicole, Victor, and then Zak and Michelle, whichever one goes first. Which, yay guys, final five of guys, if they keep Victor! And the sad thing is that all of these girls deserve to go. None of them have either been smart enough to figure it out or haven't been able to do anything about it (Nat and Day). So yeah, I'm seriously contemplating quitting this early from the season. 

[Umbelina]

It is BY FAR the worst, and may have cured me of BB forever.

The extra worse thing is that Natalie threw that comp.  She got 3 practice balls in the hole, she told James she could have easily won, but she followed his advice to lay low and threw the comp.

She could have put up the two Pauls too.  Unless James talked her out of it, which he could have done.  Now?  I think she'll do what she said, play to win and nominate the ones she wants to.

I hope.  It's OUR only hope.
