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

[peachmangosteen]

Michelle/James/Natalie discussing the vote. Michelle/Natalie want James to evict Corey. James is saying it might not matter because Paul might vote out Victor. LMAO!

TBH I'm glad I'm at the "everyone sucks, bring on the drama!" phase now. It makes it easier and funner to watch.

Paul/Natalie arguing about how Michelle told Paul that Natalie 'forced' her to put up Paul. I don't know whether this is all true, but judging from what I read about everything this week, Michelle seemed very willing to put Paul up, so I'm not really sure who's right here.

This argument is getting tiring now. 

Natalie did NOT force Michelle to put up Paul. Michelle said in the HN room that Paul was her target when Natalie said Paul was her target. The only issue Michelle had was she would not put up Victor. Natalie said she would do it than.

[J.D.]

I don't understand why people don't get why Paul goes on these rants.  Admittedly, I didn't see this one start, but any of the rants I have seen, people (especially Meech but not exclusively) people push his buttons, mumble, whisper, take their little digs, gossip and keep bringing up the FT thing and Paul takes it as long as he can but eventually he's going to blow which they KNOW is going to happen because, after all, that's WHY they push his buttons.  It's fun for them watching Paul squirm, hold his breath, ignore them as long as he can, walk on eggshells...etc.  It's high school and childish.  If they TRULY don't want Paul to go on a rant, then don't push his buttons.  And before somebody says it, that's not to say they have to walk on eggshells around Paul.  But they push and push and push ... so of course it's going to happen and the backlash is deserved.

James says "what if this was just a plan between Paul and Vic?"
Nat and Miche deny it.

Nicole to Corey- If you dont stay, I'll be like "I volunteer as tribute to switch places with you"

Are you fucking kidding me right now?

Oh God, I need this to happen. Just for the utter hilarity of it. This would be the best thing ever.

Too bad it never will.

[AbsoluteShower]

Michelle- Werent they (Corey/Nicole) acting weird last night when they came upstairs? Natalie- They dont open up. Vic opens up to us

This is exactly why James needs to keep Nat away from Michelle

Michelle needs to shut the fuck up. Her nomination was Paul, he won the veto and got himself off the block. Nat's nomination was Victor, he's still up there, he should go.

I take back the posts I made this morning on Nicole playing a good game.  She is not the stealth observer I thought I saw.  

Fuck You Nicole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   That felt so good!  Fuck you Nicole!!!

I am curious what would happen now if Corey left. It'd be Victor/Paul/Nicole against Michelle/James/Natalie? It doesn't change much for anyone, except Victor being a Competition Beast - which is dangerous.

ETA: Victor might also see James more as his target than Natalie/Michelle, whereas Corey would probably target Natalie/Michelle with James as a backup.

Yea, I don't know, it's probably a wash. And then if Corey/Paulie/Z came back they'd likely be a number for the V/P/N side and Bridgette/Day would be a number for M/J/N.

I'd say less than half the time what you state is correct; the rest of the time...?  Bullshit.  :)

In many - most? - cases Paul starts these rants himself out of thin air, to provoke responses and get people on the defensive.

I think the lowest certification to call yourself a nurse is LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse)  emphasis on the practical with a lot of taking blood samples, weighing the patient, bathing them, changing sheets,  passing out  meds that have been authorized by the RN on the floor. RN being Registered Nurse with a four year degree. A master's degree usually puts a nurse into the Nurse Practitioner category where she can see patients and do a lot of the routine work that a doctor does, colds, flu,  pap tests etc.  They often work in a clinic or office with a doctor so that if something seems complicated they can ask the doctor to step in.  My sister is a Nurse Practitioner and is way smart and studied hard for 6 years.  It's a shame someone like Nicole get sto call herself by the same title.

 A two-year nurse with an AA takes the same board exam (NCLEX) and is the same RN license as a 4-year BSN. An LPN has taken a shorter program and is on a different license and has a much more limited scope of practice. 

There are many different master's degrees for nurses. Only one of them is nurse practitioner. Many are in clinical leadership, health care administration, etc. Mine is in Medical Informatics.  I had an AA from a two year program and worked as an Intensive Care Cardiac specialist RN for two years before getting my BSN. 

I refuse to judge Nicole's nursing ability based on her behavior on this show. Nurses are people like anyone else. We all have different personalities and different strengths. We are not saints who would do the job even if we didn't get paid. Honestly, it drives me crazy seeing people bash Nicole's career behavior when we've never seen it.  I am a very different person at home than I Was with my patients (when I used to do bedside nursing).  Bash her for her behavior on the show - it's not fair to bash her for something you've never witnessed.

I kind of love that this Care Package isn't the All-Powerful game changer they're expecting. It'll mostly give them the opportunity to influence James to do something.

And James does love money!

 

Hey!  Tonight we get to see Paulie going into the jury house. 

[peachmangosteen]

James just repeated the c word like 3 times when telling Michelle Paul shouldn't have called her it. Not a good choice there, James.

I want James to go talk to Nicole about this now. Nicole is terrible at lying so he might pick up on her considering jumping ship. 

ETA: Even if James decides to vote out Corey, once they realize it's going to be an endurance he may go back to evicting Victor since he'd be much harder to beat. Now it won't matter because of the returning juror, but James is so convinced that's not happening.

I am right there with you!  Paul is over doing the act he and Victor set up and in the process he screwed boned himself.   He is the next target for everyone at the next opportunity.  He has helped Victor though if he wins buyback.  James is not going to change his vote.  I am listening to them discussing that now.   James will come to the conclusion this is an act.

If this actually does work, Paul and Vic are both deserving of the win.  It isn't easy pretending with a vengeance to hate your ally.  After all, you still have to sneak away in stealth mode to meet and discuss the next level.

Around 2:37 or 8 when James threw Natalie under the bus.  While Corey was standing there, he said Natalie wants to keep Victor.  Nicole and Corey talked about it later, she heard from the bathroom.

I have been saying that all week. Michelle is killing James and Natalie because she doesn't give a damn about anything. Now their games are probably toast. James has to win HOH or it is over.

Ugh yet another reason to wish Natalie had never become involved with James' dumb ass.

I want Corey to go because he threw the veto thinking he and Nicole could play the game from their bed cuddling. They house guests even said it this season to each other, the minute you feel safe in the house that's when it's over for you. I want karma to smack Corey. I want Nicole to have a real reason to whine. I also don't want Paulie back in the house while I'm making wishes.

James should just blindside Victor since his game is toast anyway. Natalie and Michelle will get over it. James and Natalie should talk to Corey and Nicole as the 4 and hash everything out before the vote. If Victor stays they are all toast.

I'm still laughing from earlier when James said Paul and Vic could be playing them and Natalie and Michelle said Vic was not capable of such deceit. Either way the vote goes, I appreciate they put a little spice into the feeds before eviction.

James/Natalie are pretty much screwed either way, but I think Natalie is more screwed with Corey and James is worse off with Victor. James knows it - I think he'll tell Natalie/Michelle/Victor a bit before the vote after he gets a chance to talk to Nicole/Corey.

I mean, Paul does like to instigate things and I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. It's part of his strategy. Other HGs have done it other seasons as well - it puts people on the defensive and, unless you stay calm like Frank was able to, they end up revealing more than they should. 

ETA: Paul's confrontations kind of remind me of Vanessa. She was always more forceful and aggressive than the other HG, which had a way of making people scared of her and also made her look like she wasn't hiding anything.
