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

[Umbelina]

Don't vote for Miche, I think she's wavering. 

[Wings]

I thought so for a minute but she's not.  She hates him. 

[Umbelina]

I think he got to her about Natalie.  I don't trust her, she's WAY too insecure.

Why is it okay for Paulie to be emotional but when any woman was "emotional" it was a problem?  He's been more emotional than Tiffany or anyone else ever was.

By emotional he means sobbing feminist.

Good point. She doesn't believe Natalie likes her.  There are not enough votes to save him and she would be the next if she dare mention it..   Who on earth would vote Corey out over Polly!

Even if she is dumb enough to flip, Corey will on his way out the door and she'll be sitting on the block with Paulie next week without the RT being used. A detour to the desired destination? Maybe. But, they'll get there soon enough with all three of them gone.

[Umbelina]

I'm not worried about this week.  Vic and Paul, James and Nat, are all strong.

I'm worried about next week, and I definitely don't want her as co HOH.

Paul interned for the parliament in London and graduated Pepperdine with a 3.7

Paul's taking his punishment in stride.  He's dressed like Secret Service, has to pat everybody down, then go stand on each of the numbered discs and announce, "Checkpoint 1 is cleared....Checkpoint 2 is cleared."   Hilarious!  He's named his punishment 'Operation Friendship.'  Paul's words, not BB's.

[Umbelina]

Good talk between Paul and Nat talking about their families, and it's really interesting, around 3 AM.

Great conversation.  Really, flash back.  Really touching conversation and yup, Nat took this show because of student loans.  I guessed right.

Edited August 14, 2016 by Umbelina

[J.D.]

I'm watching that too.  Paul has had an interesting life.  I wish he had never hooked up with Paulie.  Away from Paulie, he's a really decent human being.  I loved the story about his dad instilling values in Paul. When all Paul's friends' parents were giving them $50,000 cars, Paul's dad gave him an older, used car and taught him that it's better to work hard for material things than to have it handed to you.  Then he goes on to talk about how his dad still goes to flea markets when he clearly doesn't need to, how his dad took care of an 80-some year old man for 7 years until he passed away simply because the man had no family or friends to help him.  I love this humble version of Paul.  It's sweet to see how respectful and appreciative Paul's talking about his dad.  It's definitely not the revenge-motivated "Calafiore" way of life that Paulie rants when talking about HIS family.

Edited August 14, 2016 by J.D.

[Umbelina]

I LOVED Paulie wandering in and Paul dismissing him.  Paulie seemed shocked that Paul was enjoying a deep and personal and interesting conversation with "that bitch."

[J.D.]

I love Nat and Paul together.  I wish they had worked closer from the start. Their conversation is cracking me up right now.  It's just the 2 of them in London b/c James was called to the DR.  They're talking about things that have happened over the season.  Paul had Nat in hysterics talking about Frank telling him early on that he's safe this week and safe next week.  Paul said he was shocked by Frank's arrogance and acting like the choice is solely his.  He's like, "What did he expect me to do?" then he got animated and pretended to worship Frank, bowing and saying, "Thank you, master for keeping me safe."  That got Natalie laughing hard, so she started imitating Paul worshipping Frank.  Then Nat brought up the boob job thing.... animating Paulie, "You're as fake as those things on your breast," and Nat saying, "I think you're a really good guy, Paulie."  Paul starts cracking up laughing, saying that's what you gotta do with Paulie -- feed the ego even when he's insulting you.

[Lady Calypso]

I'm going to have to actually flashback to the parts I've missed since I went to bed.

I don't blame Michelle for being wary of Natalie's genuine feelings toward her. They just started to become close and I'm sure Michelle's self esteem issues prevent her from fully trusting people, especially after Zakiyah. But whatever she does now to flip doesn't matter, because Paulie is going home. 

Paul/Natalie are my favourite duo at the moment. They both bring out the best in each other with their talks. I think it helps that they share similar qualities, but on different levels (Paul's more outgoing, Natalie's more observant, etc). They both have their flaws, of course, but these two would have absolutely been a force to be reckoned with it they stuck together while Paul befriended Paulie and Natalie befriended James. I finally believe that Paul was influenced by the negative people in the house (Jozea, Victor through Jozea, Paulie, Corey) and maybe if he had hung around different people, I'd have a different opinion of him. It's a little too late for Paul in my eyes, but I think he can get closer to redeeming himself.

Paulie is going off the rails here. There's no way they're rigging this to keep him in the game. That would be the worst thing for him. I don't think he's doing this as strategy either; I think he really is having some sort of mental breakdown. He's going from depressed to game suicidal by threatening to leave, to absolutely hateful and bashing Natalie left and right so quickly that I do think he can't stay in that house, knowing that he's lost his power. He'll go through this at least one more time when he doesn't have power. Today's only Sunday. There's still four full days left and I don't know if he's going to make it. I don't think he'll chill out and have fun for his last four days. Or, he'll snap out of it by the veto ceremony. Who knows? 

The best thing for production to do is let him go and see what happens. If he self evicts, well, then he self evicts. They'll have to deal with the consequences of jury later. I actually wonder what they'd do because they can't have an eight person jury. Leave the ninth vote to America? 

Paul's punishment of being a Secret Service agent is actually pretty funny. I'll flashback to watch it in progress. 

People on Twitter are REALLY gung-ho about the #NotGayCorey, especially with a gif of Paul patting down Corey.

[Wings]

Lady Calypso.   Thanks.  I respect your observations and wisdom.  I will look closely today. 

He is such a liar; I didn't trust him to be totally sincere.  I change the feed often to avoid him, a habit I acquired early on for my own sanity so my 'exposure' is limited.  I do the same with the sun, a healthy choice. 

 I saw that he was depressed, that was clear, and for the reasons @Sibohan mentioned earlier.  I assumed he was exaggerating and why not?  His lying lights the way to that conclusion! 

 Nicole and Corey expressed concern, they had never seen this side of him. 

His parents and brother are watching him.  If they are worried about his mental state they will call production and we may see evidence of that.  I will be surprised if it is serious to the point of removal though.  I do see them taking away his RT if he has it.  Please.

Dear Paulie, When you get outplayed by Natalie, Bridgette & Michelle.. Then cry like a girl, u really weren't bred to play Big Brother #BB18

Dick is so horrible. Like I can't. Poor Daniele having that as a father.

I'm not worried about Michelle flipping now because it's basically impossible. But I guess now I have to be worried about her insecurity causing her to cozy back up to Nicole/Corey once Paulie leaves. And I would assume she would probably push for Natalie to leave. They'd have to get Paul/Victor though to do anything. I don't see Paul going for it. Victor, sure, but Paul would likely snap him out of it.

I think there's a good chance he'll snap out of it and that he'll be fine. But I just think that production can't be stupid enough to rig the game to keep him here. This is clearly affecting him in ways they probably didn't expect. His loss of power isn't doing him any favours and although I think some of it is strategy to stay, it's more out of desperation because he knows he's going home and he's trying to do anything to stop it from happening. I've watched him on and off. He switches his emotions very quickly, from what I've seen. It's why I'm ok with Michelle feeling bad for him. He's an asshole and a misogynist but I doubt he's putting on an act for people to feel sorry for him. If he is, he's a damn good actor. I just think he's crashed hard with the sudden loss of power within the last 2-3 days. 

He won't self-evict, I really don't think so. He'll want the chance to come back in the game, even if he says now that he wants to leave. Now, if he leaves while in jury, that's a whole other question. It depends on Day/Zak/Bridgette. He may not want the comfort of Zak after all of this either. 

This is honestly giving me shades of Audrey from last season. It's not the same situation, obviously, but both of them have not done well with being on the block and knowing that they're going home. Maybe they're even shades of Amanda (although I can't quite remember how she did while on the block and going home). It makes me want him out of the house even more, because if we have to see him go through this again? I don't know if he'll be better or worse. And he's pretty bad at the moment. 

Either way, I guess we'll have to see how he is for the next four days. He's lashing out at Natalie/Michelle/pretty much everyone out of desperation and anger. Let's see if he does find a way to relax once the inevitable happens. He can't say that he didn't try to stay, but he knows that he screwed himself (I think....I'd like to think he knows and chooses to live in denial).

Didn't Amanda's horrific alter-ego Bubby come out when she was on the block? That was pretty bad.

[Wings]

It is inevitable that this alliance will readjust after Paulie leaves.  I see evidence already.  Michele is a tricky one.  Who she trusts hinges on who she thinks likes her.  She does not have keen judgement on that one.  That was evidenced last night as she talked to Paulie.   Less than 24 hours ago, she 'hated' him and aimed to blow up his game; he beat her to the punch but her desire was white hot.  She fell into him last night because he said he liked her and not 'that girl' (Nat).  Words she loved to hear. I don't think she will give him a sympathy vote without approval but she was sincere in that desire.    

I see she is going to have a big problem with Natalie and it has started.  She is not sure if she likes her.  Natalie's relationship with Paul is deepening.  Thank for the flashback tip, Umbelina.  This is NOT going to please Michele as she has a good connection with Paul and may see him as her guy, in the buddy sense. 

This is going to good, finally!    

[ByaNose]

What was Paulie's punishment? Did he get one? I've seen Nicole, Corey & Paul all dressed up. I know Victor won POV and Michelle wouldn't say what her was. 

[TimWil]

Thanks for the heads-up re Paul's conversation with Natalie. He'd mentioned living in London for a year and we finally found out why. Wow. Very impressive. And his stories about his father were so great, especially the very touching one about his basically saving a penniless old man's life and giving him seven more years by taking care of him. And Natalie's reactions were so sweet. This is the stuff I wish we could see on the CBS show, not the endless scheming and strategizing.

Cutty - I'm a little confused about the timing of the CP.  Didn't voting end Friday for the next CP - the co-HOH? So all casual viewers/voters know is that Vic won HOH.  Do they even know that he put C/P on the block?   I'd love to see him as the co-HOH, but I'm not sure the timing - voting-wise - is right.  Or has all this excitement completely scrambled my brain?

And apparently forgets to focus on strategy rather than who likes her/who she likes. Even if Natalie did dislike her, Meech should want to take Nat to F2 over the others due to her lack of a Y chromosome. If she goes with a guy, she loses. (Nat should be thinking the same way about Meech, her love affair for James be damned.)

Of course, it's always much easier to realize and stick to such strategies when you aren't living with these people 24/7. I'm fairly certain I would have attempted to smother someone with a pillow by now. *eye tic*

[JediDVguy]

Yeah, I'm switching my ACP votes to Vic (and possibly Paul). I would hope that they get the message that we want them to follow through with the plan.

Here simplyme, take my pillow too.  I'm sure there is more than one person deserving of a good smothering.

Voting ended Friday for the one Nicole just won. The way I understand it is voting ends Friday morning, then they give the CP out Friday afternoon. That's assuming our votes even count, which I have serious doubts.

[Skycatcher]

Thanks, Cutty.  So......voting ends next Friday for the co-HOH, and (hands folded in prayer) Vic will get it next Friday afternoon. Excellent.  Casual viewers can help us reward him for his awesomeness (lately, at least).

[NeelyOh]

Watching bits and pieces of Michelle's convo with Paulie and at one point he says that maybe viewers already know that he has the RT and that's why they gave Nicole the CP instead of giving it to him. Yeah Paulie, the viewers love you.  He really does keep making himself look worse and worse. He's been so arrogant and mean spirited towards women and now he's acting like an entitled little baby.  

I agree that Michelle is all over the place. And Paul pointing out that Michelle is actually older than him kind of blew my mind. I always have hopes that HG's like Michelle do some serious thinking once they're out and get to see their own behavior on screen and figure out how they can improve personally. It's kind of funny that Michelle could be on the verge of flipping because of her distrust of Nat since Nat/Vic/Paul/James do plan to exclude her from their final 4. 

Wouldn't mind it if there was a flip and somehow Victor went next because I think if Corey goes, Victor has no real competition at comps and sails to the end. Although I appreciate his part in taking down Paulie, I can't forget that Victor was already evicted once, fair and square, and part of it was based on the fact that he was acting like a total d-bag.  I think the others might have a better shot at winning comps against Corey than Victor and there's still so much time left in the game.  If they could get Victor and Corey out, it could be interesting watching the rest battle it out since there would be no comp beasts left in the house.

I will vote for Victor.  Since casual viewers are the bulk I am going to guess they would favor Victor over Paul so I don't want to dilute his votes.

Just because you are paranoid does't mean they are not out to get you.   She senses that she is not in the top dog seat.  Funny how things go; she has created her insecure position in the alliance with her imagined scenarios that create her insecurity.   I expect to see her move toward Nicole and Corey.  They are so very ready to make her feel secure!

Lololol watching BBAD and Corey is telling Nat that there are so many aggressive people in the house...like Z Hahaha

He could never handled Evel Dick, Cappy, the dude that held a knife to the girl's throat, the fat girl that got food thrown at her all the time, the first Danielle and her begging to get into hoh meltdown, unlimited hard alcohol etc.

I don't think this is true at all. Paul definitely want Michelle in F4 and Victor does what Paul wants. I would imagine Natalie/James want her there as well since she's much easier to beat. 

Someone already mentioned it but Michelle is in a good spot being a single in a group of pairs. Not to mention the fact that she's not seen as a threat in any way. But it's Michelle so I could easily see her blowing up a great spot over something dumb.

[Skycatcher]

I don't particularly care for Paul.  His beard is hideous, and that put me off at first.  His early obnoxiousness fueled that dislike.  In a manner of speaking, it "proved" that anyone with a beard like that is a jerk.  His bromance with Polly was certainly another mark against him.  I can appreciate that his game has gotten better lately, but I just can't like him.

Alright, I've been trying to catch up on updates for last week, but it's been crazy. I was wondering - before Z was evicted, I read Paulie said he was told a few minutes before the live show, and Nicole said she knew Z was going home. I assume it was off camera, but is there any more information about what went down? Were they told as a group? Did James let them all know to save face and did anyone mind that they were told? And Z knew?

I missed a great week of feeds - now that I'm back, I expect Paulie to have the Round Trip ticket and win HOH. Sorry, guys - you can blame me for the awfulness when it happens.

I'm going to agree with @peachmangosteen on this one. What they say to each other in the house and what they are actually thinking may very well be two different things. I mean, we've seen Paul make an F2 deal with Victor, but there have been indications he may not honor that. I think he would be stupid to do so. As far as I can tell, pretty much everyone in that house should be thinking about trying to get to F2 with Meech. They just can't SAY it because she has no filter.

Granted, should be does not equal is. This is merely my supposition.

Special thanks for the extra pillow, @Skycatcher!

I've seen Paul/Victor talk about going forward/end game on 2 occasions this week. The first time Victor wanted to take a shot at James as soon as Paulie and Corey were gone but Paul nixed it saying Nicole would be going for revenge and has to go before James. But they agreed then that they wanted Michelle/Natalie in F4 with them and considered Natalie for F3. The next time they were saying Michelle would be F3 with them.

But, like @simplyme was saying, I think Paul is probably not really truthful about a F2 with Victor. Honestly that would be a very stupid move on his part because Victor is his biggest competition for the win. It might be hard for Paul to cut Victor though. Victor really loves Paul and trusts him 100% so he'd feel very betrayed. He'd still vote for him in F2 though so it probably doesn't really matter.

I've been seeing a lot of people saying Paul's family is rich. I actually didn't pay much attention to the segment on his family but they certainly have a very large home. They appear to be quite well off.

ETA: Apparently Victor said the DR was telling him not to nom Paulie, but he did it anyways. Dammit. Hopefully. that was before Paulie has his complete breakdown and Production has just let go of him now.

My impression is the opposite, that Paul is more popular with casual voters.  

I'm going to wait for the episode tonight and see who production gives more credit too.  Maybe they'll heavily promote Paul convincing Victor to put up Paulie/Corey or maybe they'll heavily promote Victor holding his ground against Paulie.  That will probably decide which gets the casual fans votes this week.

I don't trust Michelle with it, so as long as it's either Victor or Paul it'll be fine.  The danger, of course, is Corey somehow getting it if the votes are split between Paul and Victor.

That was a mansion?  Looked like a pretty standard 3 or 4 bedroom house in FL.  I don't remember where he lives. Miami?  Everyone has a pool. 

Tarzana, CA.  Next to Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.  Upper-class neighborhood.  To put it in perspective, 4 bedroom houses there go for well over a million, and their house looked a lot bigger than four bedrooms to me.  Paul also graduated from Pepperdine, an education that costs about $300k, and he hasn't mentioned school loans so his family probably paid for it (unless he had scholarships, I suppose).

So yes, Paul's family is probably very well off.

It's from this interview with Julie Chen.

Thanks! Yeah, I think that's the first I heard of it, outside of Nicole saying she knew Z was going home when casting her vote. The HGs haven't talked more about what went down before the Double Eviction?

Alright, I've been trying to catch up on updates for last week, but it's been crazy. I was wondering - before Z was evicted, I read Paulie said he was told a few minutes before the live show, and Nicole said she knew Z was going home. I assume it was off camera, but is there any more information about what went down? Were they told as a group? Did James let them all know to save face and did anyone mind that they were told? And Z knew?

I missed a great week of feeds - now that I'm back, I expect Paulie to have the Round Trip ticket and win HOH. Sorry, guys - you can blame me for the awfulness when it happens.

I don't know how that happened (someone will) but this spurred me on to write an open letter to future HGs for Twitter.  It is the early stages still but it will include.

**When you get a package from America do not read anything into it; the bulk of voters do not watch the feeds.  It may send a message but you cannot count on that; don't let effect your strategy. 

**Do NOT divulge a blindside!  You are more apt to be considered an awesome player if you give us a blindside.  

Those are the top two on the top, closer to the bottom.

**Block your mic when you eat; be mindful of how that sounds to us.  Transfer chips and other crunchy stuff into a bowl.  We cannot hear you over the rustling bag.

Location makes all the difference!  Yes, CA is off the charts high.  His dad only had a HS education and worked hard to get to where they are today.  Paul has the utmost respect for him.  Good for him!

Whether someone's parents have money would play a 0% role in my decision of who I voted to win the money. Even if they themselves are independently wealthy I could not find that a more irrelevant argument.

The Santa Monica mountains (low mtns) are between Tarzana and BH/SM.  Tarzana is in "The Valley" - remember Val girls? And it is very upper-class, sort of a "low-rent" Beverly Hills.  SM is a beach town bordering Venice Beach to the south.  When you see a TV show with a carnival-like pier, set in L.A., that's the Santa Monica pier.

On topic - reading at Jokers - the HGs are up, and Polly is trying to get everyone to talk to Victor to take him off the block, and to give him "a chance to.....".  Polly is delusional! No, Polly is F-ing delusional

Didn't Amanda's horrific alter-ego Bubby come out when she was on the block? That was pretty bad.

Amanda was Amanda's horrific alter-ego. She was so very awful, I really can't stand to think about her.
