I think we are going to get. James/Nat/or even Nicole eviction...I just feel that.

 

I feel a Natalie, Michelle or Bridgette eviction.  Which will suck. 

DE's always go so terribly for me. 

[AbsoluteShower]

"Paulie wants to say Bridgette supporting someone's views cause they're a girl would be like him supporting someone cause they're white"

 

Still with this - what a stupid fucking bell-end...

Honestly, the last time a DE went well was with Jeff back in BB13. BB14 had technically Mike and Frank go in both, but that was because they were on the block for the week, so Joe and Ashley went in those DEs. BB15 had Judd and then Elissa go after Amanda, BB16 had Hayden and Christine both go, and BB17 had Jackie and then James go. So I'm fully expecting Bridgette or Victor to go, or even Natalie. Either useless or someone that should be staying longer. 

I'm just expecting Paulie to powerhouse like Frank and win HOH. But I'm having hope that he'll fuck up and Paul, Michelle, Bridgette, or Natalie will win it. Paul would make for the most epic of blindsides. James would have already screwed Paulie over so he wouldn't be as fun.

my most hated DE because that meant I could not longer watch jeff and jordan together.

[zibnchy]

I haven't seen any discussion of this but what happens if Paulie is ejected (please, please) in the DE and he has the RT?

[gunderda]

There's a 90% chance that Paulie will win HOH or veto, or both.

[Umbelina]

I need to decompress.  I'm honestly kind of sick to my stomach looking back on yesterday and early this morning.  I am just so disturbed by all of it, on so many levels.

Z is pathetic, and I did feel pity for her, on some level I still do, but it's almost gone.  She needs a very good shrink and years of therapy.  The way she lied and lied and let Nat comfort her and build her up, and told the girls later that she believed them (several times!) and THEN ran to Paulie and told him Nat "ATTACKED her!"  FUCK Z.  DON'T CARE.  FIND HELP. 

PAULIE is human garbage.  It makes me ill that men like him walk the earth.  I just can't at the way his eyes and muscles bulged with excitement at flexing his power and hatred of women last night.  He was scary, and I wished I had been in that room, because I would have decimated him.  Then again, I'm not playing for a 1/2 million.

BRIDGETTE Bless her!  She's the one with the balls to try to get him to stop haranguing Natalie with his obvious bully techniques.  This girl is amazing.  Ties for most valuable player this week, and thank God she was there.

MICHELLE Go girl!  I'm so glad she's redeeming her earlier nonsense.  She's apologized sincerely for her jealousy of Bridgette, regrets some of the catty shit she did (hey, it happens when you hang with Nicole.)  Anyway, standing up to Paulie later and laughing about it?  GOLD.

NATALIE Is just the nicest houseguest ever, a genuinely good person.  She came in as eye candy and had no idea about the game, but she's learning fast, trying hard, and she's like a breath of fresh air among sewer smells.  I adore her.

JAMES I go back and forth.  In the end though, he IS doing the right thing here, and at least he's not hateful and sickening most of the time.  James was in the weirdest place for this week, but in the end, he did the right thing.

PAUL Where have you been?  It just goes to show you that "the company you keep" is important.  I adored him last night, I love that he is completely disgusted by Paulie and Corey, able to keep his head in the game, but not at the expense of human values.  I love that he hates Corey mocking homeless people, and that Paul volunteers to help them  He's FAR up my list of preferred HG's now.

VICTOR I love that he talked it out with Nat last night.  I love that he kept his cool up there, but also, along with Paul, realizes Paulie is human garbage.  I think he has a decent side.  I also think Paulie brings out the worst in him.  Thankfully, that's over.  UNLESS Paulie wins HOH, then he, and Paul will have to continue to play him.

COREY Is as disgusting as Paulie in every single way.  GARBAGE.  OMG, again, men like this walk the earth.  It makes me nauseous.  Mostly it makes me very, very sad. 

NICOLE Is gaming at any cost, but associating with men like Paulie and Corey has rubbed a stink on her she will never lose, and deservedly so.  Laughing at Paulie's "fake boobs" shit?  GO TO HELL with you alliance you embarrassment to womanhood.

 

I'm just so disturbed by last night.  Thank God for the non Z, Paulie, Nicole, and Corey houseguests. 

My dream scenario tonight is Paulie and Nicole on the block, Corey wins VETO and whichever one he chooses to take down?  Will make the other one cry.

I do like that no matter when I log in and no matter what page this thread is on there is at least one post that says "Fuck you, Nicole". 

[poopchute]

Can someone fill me in on how zakiyah was abused by a man/men? It might make me feel differently about her so I'd like to know, if anyone can help me out.

Have Paulie's dad and Cody defended him on social media at all today?

Haha! I liked it because I never cared much about Jeff as a person. I remember he made a big controversy there over his homophobic comments and that was the first instance I watched a bit of the live feeds. So needless to say, I was thrilled that he got out. He was a comp beast and very easily slated for a win, courtesy of Production, so him getting out made for a more interesting eviction than someone useless or someone that I loved....not that I liked anyone on BB13 in the first place!

Yep, because this is how DEs go. Nothing goes according to plan for me in DEs. Or worse, Nicole wins HOH, which I could see. But I'd laugh if Paul went up to her and told her that Paulie thinks she's forming an all girls alliance and she's the first one to go and has said that for a DE, and having someone back him up. Imagine if she panicked, which she could do. I just remember Aaryn throwing up Judd and him getting evicted all because of last minute panic over a he said she said situation.

It won't really matter, except to viewers who have to have that asshole spouting his hate on the feeds longer.

He's done.

He thinks he still has his gang, but all he has is Corey and Nicole.  Z if she has the RT.

Michelle has turned herself around.  She's embarrassed about her earlier cattiness, has apologized, proven herself, and is spunky and really playing the game now.  She's definitely worth forgiving for earlier actions, because she HAS CHANGED.  I think it's sincere too.

I always give them 48 hours before a full forgiveness, especially when they're on the block. You never know in this game.

"Nicole- I didnt have to deal with this is on 16. So catty. I hang out with the boys 90% of the time"

You know, every time she says something like this I could just end up saying fuck you Nicole, but that would get a bit repetitive, so this time I'll just say that I ought to be surprised at the mendacity of this fucking woman by now, yet she continually raises the bar.

 My dream scenario for tonight is that Paul wins HOH, puts up Paulie who is evicted.    That would be so sweet to see Paulie blindsided by his "bromance".  

[Lady Calypso]

So, it seems like Nicole inadvertently knows where the lines are drawn (although I don't think she knows about the all boys alliance). She just said that James has to choose between them and Nat/Bridgette/Vic/Paul. Yeah...I wonder if he'll go to the side with more numbers including his showmance or the side that continues to look bad in front of America....yeah....hard choice there. I don't know which he'll pick....that's a toughie....

You and me both! Heck not even two days ago a female friend and I went off on a guy who had the nerve to call her a "feminist bitch" simply because she rebuffed his drunken and belligerent attempts to buy our friend a drink. He even made physical threats, it was crazy. One of my biggest pet peeves is someone who uses the word feminist as an insult. The sad thing is we live in Texas so we seriously had to keep an eye on him as he walked off in a rage just in case he had a gun. These are crazy days we are living in.

It's been much longer than 48 hours since Michelle began to clean up her act.  It began before she was on the block.

I was just referring to last night. I haven't kept up as well as I should have because this is the Season of Suck. She may have started a lot sooner but assuming she survives DE, her time limit with me is lifted after the second HoH comp. I'm hoping she really has changed, though. The cattiness was not a good look for her.

[Cosmosgravitation]

The weak link on the non-Paulie side of the house is still James.  I completely believe he was wavering and would have flipped if not for Paulie blowing up his own game by attacking Nat.  

Victor just inadvertently reminded Nicole and company he doesn't have a vote and James is the one that really has the power to decide votes this week, and now Nicole/Corey/Z/Paulie are going to be on James's ass all day.  Nat had better not leave his side, I still wouldn't put it past him to flip.

It wasn't really Victor's fault since he was just playing dumb and telling them what they should have figured out for themselves, but apparently they hadn't.

[J.D.]

Paul's ranking according to Jokers:

 

Day  59 -  #5

Day  58 -  #8

Day  57 - #13

Day  56 - #13

Day  55 - #13

Day  54 - #13

Day  53 - #13

Day  52 - #14

Day  51 - #15

Day  50 - #14

Day  49 - #14

Day  48 - #13

Day  47 - #13

Day  46 - #13

Day  45 - #13

Day  44 - #14

 

I thought this was also interesting.... for the same time frame, Paulie has never climbed higher than #15.  And that's out of #16 HG's.

I would say it's best to just stick with Bridgette. Splitting the votes will just guarantee Nicole gets it. I'm pretty sure Nicole is going to get it though because 'America' sucks.

I can't even hold it against her at this point because it's a mistake SO many women make. If I had a nickel for every time a female celebrity was quoted in an interview saying something like "I believe women should have the same rights and opportunities as men, but I ain't no freaking feminist!" I'd be on vacation right now and wouldn't care about any of this lol.

[Umbelina]

This is the girl Paulie was bashing, not sure if it was the fiance he cheated on with 5 different women, but I think so.

I love that the TAR girls stuck up for her, and for Nat on twitter.

She did that so Paulie would rush to her and say you poor thing I will protect and love you, as we all know.  I can see her stalking him in RL, or boiling his pets.  This attitude can result in dangerous behavior resulting in harm to others.  She is obsessed.  She doesn't care about this game one tiny bit.  I expect to see her on Dateline!   

Therapy does no good unless you want to change!  You do the work, the therapist lights the way.  It not a place to get fixed.

I am pretty sure she figured it out by observing the shift in who was hanging out with who and where they were choosing to sleep.  I haven't seen her talking to others about this.  Has anyone?  I don't hate Nicole, at all. 

Bridget and Natalie don't know that you never talk about politics, religion, or hot button topics unless you are in a group that has decided to go there.   I wish they would both shut up about feminism/women's rights or whatever these stupid young girls call it.

I like them both.  Yes I called them stupid because they display stupid behavior a lot.   Immature would be a nicer word.  I didn't want to use it because I wanted to call them stupid.  Okay?  :^)

[CheetaraThunder]

For the person who asked about Z abuse past. She told James how her ex would be verbally and physically abusive to her. Punch holes in the walls, flip furniture, physically harm her. She also mention her father up and leaving her mother and her when she was young. Never saw him after that. That's why I have a lot of empathy for her. A circus show like this was not for her. That's why I was sad when Day went, cause she was the only one that kept her in check.

I do wish Natalie would just stop obsessing over Z. She is going him, she knows it, just let it be.  Stop obsessing and actually start studying for the HOH, which nobody is. Which makes me believe Paulie will win. And, if he gets past DE unscathed, I see him going beast mode on the comps cause his only competition, in my eyes, is Victor.

[Umbelina]

Paulie's dad has finally locked his twitter account. 

After Cody's racist tweet yesterday, maybe he should do it too.

ETA

Natalie wasn't "obsessing" over Z, she was trying to HELP Z avoid embarrassment, have confidence in herself, and stop being played by a complete loser like Paulie!

I always have mixed feelings for DE night.  I'm so excited at first, hoping that one houseguest that everybody hates will get eliminated and then it ends up that someone not important ends up going and bursts my bubble.

[Wings]

We don't know what the HOH comp is.  We know it will be quick and questions of some kind.  Paulie does not have a 90% chance of winning. DO NOT PUT THAT OUT INTO THE UNIVERSE!

POSITIVE ATTITUDE!

 

Paul the Octopus

Paul was a common octopus who supposedly predicted the results of association football matches in 2010. He made many accurate predictions in the 2010 World Cup which brought him worldwide attention as an animal oracle.

Many have said, and I agree, that Paul did not predict but actually created the wins in the vein of home court advantage.  The world was watching, hoping and wanting Paul to be right.  High amounts of money were placed on bets.  The energy put forth for this was world wide. 

Going on this theory, let's expect Paulie will go.  Know it!  He will! Never mind the details just imagine him talking to Julie and coming up with an answer at to why all Jersey girls are trash.

All I can hope for is Zak and Day sticking together when they're in jury with Paulie. I desperately want Zak to have some time away from Paulie, but since I want Paulie to go tonight, I can only hope that Day pulls her girl away from Paulie. He's going to be filled with emotions and he'll probably want Zak's comfort until someone else gets in the house that he likes; then he'll explode and dump Zak. Just my prediction. I want Zak to be with Day in jury.

If Polly follows Zak to the jury house they will be having full-on, above-the-covers sex and he will convince her that Natalie was lying/she blew everything out of proportion/it was just game/etc. Day doesn't know the extent of his deceit, so she can't clue Zak in and if Zak and Polly arrive together Zak might not even tell her what Natalie said. Someone who could clue her in might go to jury next week, but by then she'll probably be so caught up in all the attention Polly is giving her (with no one else but Day around) that nothing they say would matter. So that would actually suck for Zak and she'll be even more devastated when the show is over and she finds out all the things Polly has said and done, but that's her problem. I still want Polly out in the DE. Positive thoughts!

“They woke up, didn’t they, the girls? This is a big turning point in this season,” says Grodner. “Michelle and Bridgette — Bridgette came to play in the last 24 hours. We don’t know where she was, but 24 hours ago, she woke up.”

Not a single mention of Natalie in all of that.

Which is why I do worry about Zak if Paulie gets evicted tonight. Part of me wants her to have at least a week to get her head together. Some time away from Paulie and some time with Day may be helpful, even a little bit. I think Zak's mental health is at risk when she's with Paulie, in all honesty. She seems like she understands how bad Paulie is for her and I do believe that she knows that he probably doesn't care as much for her as she does for him, but she's so blinded by her obsession with him that it blinds her completely from breaking it off and separating her feelings with the logic. 

On the other hand, if someone on the other side wins and Paulie doesn't win veto, he has to go tonight. It is the best way to better all of their games, and although Corey/Nicole will replace the mean comments and the awfulness that Paulie will leave behind, I think the season will be less hated.
