There's no doubt that Paul and Victor are the most likely winners right now. That certainly would be an interesting F2.

I'd rather a Natalie/Michelle F2 though because I'm really only rooting for Natalie to win.

Why?  The guys are better players - and it would be a clear case of sexism for a weaker player like Natalie or Michelle win.  I do think Natalie will win AFG.

[Christi]

So I'm envisioning Pauie getting booted and having the round trip ticket :/ ugh

[Umbelina]

Corey, Nicole, and Paulie!

I love Michelle lately! 

She was totally loyal to them, and they fucked her, she can "be mean" all she wants! 

Corey was covered in ants, so went to the HOH to shower, and left a trail of ants in the HOH.

[Skycatcher]

Can anyone tell me why Paul is so attached to that pool toy?  It's not a good look.

 Nat will engage in conversation with anyone out of manners and kindness, she gets sucked in.  But I am not going to give her a pass on this.  Time to think for yourself Nat and stop being a savior.  Stand strong in your own opinions.  

Agreed. She's not too bad now, but I'm afraid the more she hangs out with Michelle, the worse she'll get. I like Nat for the way she is! She just needs to start playing the game and communicating with other people better! Start talking game with people one on one!

He likes camera attention, and it distracts a bit from his cutthroat gaming.

Paulie, "Everyone bounces from a room when I come in. Its like I'm the plague."

 

You are out of power for the first time EVER in this game, and their true feelings about you are allowed to show, fucker.

Leaving sexism out of this (it bores me) I agree that Paul and Victor are earning F2 in front of my eyes.  Michele, is a mess and loose cannon.  Never F2.   

Nat, sweet girl and she was instrumental in the flip but then what did she do today? She hung out in bed with James for a bit, napped and then trashed Nicole with Michele in the kitchen. F2, never.  Paul and Victor were out socializing with the house, having a good time and in the process creating good will for the final vote.  Not their agenda, they were just being themselves.

Victor's earning the win more than Paul for me right now BECAUSE he's being very honest, clear cut, and calm throughout all of this. I'm rooting for Victor to win above anyone else. Paul's lying to people and it's helping him for now, but Victor's the one playing the honest man here, telling people what they deserve to know and he's taking the brute force of this. Paulie's going to respect Victor's game far more than Paul's once he goes to jury and thinks about it.

Also, I'd laugh if it was Vic/Nat F2. The first showmance in the house makes it to F2. I'd totally be game for that F2.

Paulie came out of DR eating an apple and feeling good.  The psychologist reeled him in clearly and probably gave him that apple or told him to get a piece of fruit when he left.  It helps with blood sugar and eating is comforting.  Standard.  He is having a good talk with Paul and then Victor.

Don't worry.

This jury will NEVER give the vote to win to a woman, except for Natalie who WOULD vote for a woman.  MAYBE Bridgette, since Frank isn't eligible to win.

For Nat or Meech to win, they have to go together.  Any penis up there will win over them.  That's the way Grodner cast this thing.

Nicole: I really want Michelle gone, she's so...smiley.

I'm rooting for Natalie and Michelle. Why? For starters, I think they are playing the game. I feel that has been pretty clear, especially in the past week. They don't win comps? Fan darling Dr. Will never won a comp on his season. I don't care about comp wins. I like them. I don't like Paul or Victor. Sure, I "love" them now, when they're doing what I want them to do, but I still don't like them. Vic was booted third, so no, I don't think he deserves a damn thing.

But honestly, this week I don't care about the end game. I just want Paulie to lose veto, and then I'll happily gloat about him bitching and moaning about how honest and loyal he was to the people he talked about getting rid of sooner rather than later. Because at the end of the day, the one thing I'm certain about is that Paulie is a shithead.

Edited August 13, 2016 by Katesus7

[Umbelina]

Natalie and Michelle have played the HELL out of this game, in spite of never having power.  It's not all comp wins that matter, and had they been born with penises?  They would have been in the "in group."

As for comps?

Miche won OTEV, and no Victor, that wasn't "luck" to have her cards piled up.  That was strategy!  Doofus.

Natalie beat ALL of the people in the house on that hanging dizzy comp except one.

Michelle flipped the house to save Tiffany.

Natalie and Michelle (and Bridge) flipped the house last week too.  THAT IS gaming!  I am so tired of hearing "they aren't playing!"

THIS, Paulie and Corey being up on the block wouldn't have happened without them either. 

Meanwhile, they have both taken shit loads of abuse, and not for "game reasons."

They win?  I'm thrilled!

Paul wins?  Deserved.  He's been playing great for weeks now.

Victor wins?  Deserved and cool.  He came back from being voted out, cool and calm and acted like a grown up.

Anyone else wins?  Fuck that.

You're right, Paulie - it ain't going to look good. But I'm sure you will unleash masterful roasts like: fake tits, midget, ugly, stupid, meany. 

There's so much love in this video.  They'd both throw Nicole under the bus in a flash.  She'd be standing there sobbing. Rat's nest precariously perched at an awkward angle, enormous nerd glasses all fogged up. "But I'm niiiiiiiiice.  People liiiiiiiiiike me. "

[Umbelina]

Paulie trying to make a deal with Victor where a girl goes home this week.

Corey: I would be so mad if Paulie used veto on me....... he's played such a good game.
Corey: Victor will always be 14th place. James is a 32 year old getting sloppy thirds. Wake up bro.
Corey: If I'm next to James everyone will vote me out because James can't win comps and I can.

Victor is owning Paulie, who can't get off his "girls have cooties" rants.

Vic rubbing it in that he had to win three comps to get back in.

Nicole whining: I don't wanna be friends with themmmmmmughhhhhh. (She agrees "girls have cooties!") '

Corey telling Nicole that if Paulie leaves they need to get in good with James/Natalie/Michelle and take out one of Paul and Victor next.

I'm stealing mini caps from twitter and sucks because I can't watch all feeds at once.

[Umbelina]

The houseguests are thinking Morph or Zingbot for VETO.  They could be right.

I think Nat has a REALLY good chance at Morph, she's interested in people and in their faces.

Paul and Vic mocking Paulie's "pitch" now in the bathroom HA!

That's what I'm afraid of.

[Umbelina]

Normally, I'd be afraid of that too, but I honestly don't think it's rigged this season.

Also, if it WERE rigged, why save the most hated houseguest of the season?

Paulie: I thought this was a game and nothing personal huh??
James: It's not personal...
Paulie: So why are you covering up faces on the memory wall????
James: Practicing for a comp Paulie
Paulie: What comp??
James: Morph... you should know this.
Paulie: That's you study for that????? Cody and Derrick did not tell me that.

Any chance that if Victor makes it to the end, he doesn't get the votes since he's already been evicted?  I guess it depends on his opponent.  If it's a girl, Victor wins no matter what.

For drama....conflict....for the same reason I keep watching whoopi Goldberg on The View.

[poopchute]

Did Nicole say if Corey goes she will want to go too? What a moron. Then just DOR!! If you don't want to try to win then leave.

[Wings]

What a good day!  We got what we have wanted for weeks!  Kudos, Sitting Ducks, you did it.  You pulled it off.  A special thanks to you, Natalie and Bridget.  ***deep curtsy***  thank you and good night.

Don't they forfeit any stipend if they DOR?  I thought I read something like that in previous seasons.

[Lady Calypso]

Paulie/Natalie having game conversations? One on one? DID I NOT JUST ASK FOR NAT TO HAVE MORE GAME CONVOS? EVEN IF IT'S WITH PAULIE? 

THANK YOU, BB GODS FOR GIVING ME EVERYTHING I'VE WANTED THIS WEEK.

[Umbelina]

Paulie tells Nat that everyone laughed at her, would joke about saying 'FT' (fake tits) in her presence.

Nat: Did James do this?
Paulie: He was there when they did.
Nat: Good to know.

[zenithwit]

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

[ByaNose]

Natalie really is a sweet girl. She's taking information in and not being all drama green or hysterical. Paulie is covering his butt and hoping for her vote. I like when he says "everyone was doing it". Like that makes it all better. 

[Umbelina]

Well, he spent a LONG time in the DR.

Fuck this.  RUN Nat, he's just working you for a vote.

[Lady Calypso]

Natalie is calling Paulie out on the FT business. Natalie is explaining how it's not cool and Paulie is deflecting, putting it on everyone else and how he'd never start that. Paulie's calling Michelle out, which is fair because he's right in that she partook in the smack talk many times. It's the fact that he's deflecting from himself, making half apologies ("Sorry I was in on the joke, sorry if I hurt your feelings") that doesn't make him the better person here. He's only doing this because he knows he has no votes to stay if he doesn't win veto. None. He's not smooth enough to rectify all of this and to make up for what he's done, especially since he has no clue why people don't like him.

Natalie's been listening (I don't think Paulie's let her get a word in edgewise unless he asks her a direct question) but she's just repeating her same nice spiel on her respect for him as a person and player, but she's said nothing to make it seem like he has her vote. 

[Skycatcher]

Quote

Jokers - Paulie to Natalie: This whole time in this house, I have had a mask on (not his real personality). Paulie says that there is guy talk and there are masks that you have to put on. You make comments to not feel like an outsider.

 

I agree that sometimes a person goes along just to get along, but I'm sure we saw Paulie's real personality. And I'm sure Natalie knows it.

[Wings]

Wait!  I am so not going to bed.  Paulie says to Nat that is his personality coming into the house was a mask!  Impressive cover; she is not buying it but doing the hmmmm,  hmmmm .... looking for her exit..... well, I respect you (not).  There is more, Paulie escalates to more ridiculous lying.  He is over doing it now.  Moving into an SNL skit.  Changing feeds.

[Cosmosgravitation]

Victor talking to the feed watchers was kind of endearing.  Here is a streamable for people that missed it.  

[Umbelina]

He also managed to call Bridgette a whore in there.

 

Ants are falling from the ceiling in the Safari room. 

[Marie80]

Now Paulie is Julius Caesar and James is Brutus. So dramatic!! You're on the block, get over it.

[Lady Calypso]

Paulie trying to explain how hurt he is and how he's a victim and trying to turn his edit around reminds me of the situation with Frank and hitting girls on their butts and saying misogynist things. The difference for me is that Paulie clearly doesn't mean any of this and is just trying to work for a vote. He won't change if he got into power again. The thing about Frank is that as soon as he was told to stop, he did. He made excuses, yes, but he stopped. 

Also, Paulie? Throwing James under the bus to Natalie is not the wisest decision. If you're trying to break them apart as revenge for Zak...you're doing it wrong.

Wait! I said this first. This is a sign of Plagiarism. LOL!!! I totally agree. It's like Paulie was told in the DR that you need to redeem yourself for your edit before your eviction. It will help in your career. LOL!!!

[Umbelina]

Where are the violins for Paullie?

Oh the inhumanity!

Loyalty! Honor! He is Caesar people!

[Skycatcher]

Well, I guess that I at least have to admire his stamina.  He's been at this since the noms, picking out one person after another and peddling his sad, sad plight.  LOL - I predict people are going to start avoiding him, and then he'll have something else to cry about.

ETA - And if he keeps promising people he won't come after them, he's not going to have anybody left, if by some vicious quirk of fate he manages to re-enter the house.

Yeah, Paulie "needed a hug" from James, and he was ride or die loyal to James.

Paul: So you know about the guys alliance... and how the guys were supposed to make final 5 and take out all the girls.... so my question to you.... why do you not give a shit?
Nicole: Huh? Oh... it was like obvious
Paul: So you just didn't care? I don't get it.... you just... were gonna ... I'm so confused.
Nicole: Oh no it was so obvious *laughs* and like Corey is so cute.
Paul: So you just roll over and die? That's so shitty... after the heat you took in your last season for the same kind of thing happening?
Nicole: Well like if the guys took me out ... I can't beat them in comps and like I'm a superfan so I'm just happy to be here and like it was obvious to me.... you know? *laughing*
Paul: I'm so confused... I'm scratching my head as to why you don't care.

[Lady Calypso]

Paulie really hasn't stopped talking to people in hours. Besides going to the DR, he is trying to stay and save his game. Too bad nobody will ever trust him, besides Nicorey. 

Meanwhile, Paul is digging himself into a hole with Paulie. Paulie believes that Paul would pull him or Corey down if he won veto. If Paul does that, he's exposed as a snake. People will catch onto Paul saving himself and only himself. It's good for him, but bad for everyone else. 

Paulie's now giving his rambling speech to James, with Natalie in the room. I will give Paulie credit for trying. Too bad it's a little early. They haven't played veto yet. Paulie's humbled now, but what happens if he wins veto? What is his attitude going to be like? Because I doubt it'll be like this. He'll go back trash talking people, Michelle especially, since Paulie will want Corey to stay over her or James (whoever goes up). I kind of want Paul to go up, to see what Paulie does. Because Paul knows he's untrustworthy but now Paulie has to choose to actively campaign against Paul or Corey. We all know what he would do, which means Paul can gladly dump his ass for good reason. 

But nah, I'm ok with Paulie not winning and walking out the door on Thursday.
