Callaphera July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 Victor, you sweet summer child. You're almost as delusional as Jozea. Corey is just as dull hosting the Veto comp as he is talking about Christmas. And did I mishear the rules of the comp? They were allowed to take one letter back at a time? And then the camera shows Da'Vonne running back with an E and an O in her hands. Hmm... Did the usual necklace of the Veto break or something? It looked like just a piece of rope, versus the usual black cord. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45213-s18e07-power-of-veto-2/#findComment-2385132
Lady Calypso July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 Tiffany is very reminiscent of Vanessa with the over-paranoia and the crying. But she's not entirely wrong in her paranoia. She has to keep her alliance happy, but I'd be paranoid about being evicted instead. It's still early enough in the game where you're still figuring people out. All Tiffany needs to do is calm the hell down and keep her paranoia to herself. And look, Day/Frank already thinking about sending Tiffany home this episode. I still am surprised at Paul only being 23, so I have to remember he's still a young guy. But LOL at him picking Zak instead of Victor. They should have played the comedic sad music, or the record scratching at that moment. I do love the spelling comp. I laughed at Day getting sprayed. Girl, just splash water on your face! You're standing in water! Also I laughed at Paul feeling confident on the 9 point word....followed by Tiffany immediately beating him. Good on Paulie for that win, though. Sustainability has to be the longest spelt word they've had yet. Oh no, Tiffany not wanting to throw the veto when she's up on the block? The horror! How dare she not do your bidding? How dare she not trust that the house won't turn on her! Ok, she was counting your board. Sure, she wasn't throwing it like you want, Day. So you decide to take it personally. Of course. I guess that's what happens in the game of Big Brother. Look, another prank from James. I guess they don't have other clips to show? Not that I mind James' pranks. I actually like some of them. Again, his scares just humour me for some reason. ROFL at Paul's power of friendship speech. Day, you really need to shut up about Tiffany now. I know Tiffany's one of my favourites, which is why I'm so passionate, but I also feel like Day needs to chill out, get off her high horse and actually talk to Tiffany about her issues. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45213-s18e07-power-of-veto-2/#findComment-2385137
alihart41 July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 (edited) Spoiler That cryfest in the HOH room with Paulie happened before the Road Kill nomination reveal. She was upset because she had asked Frank minutes before if he knew who Vic would put up. Frank said no, then told Paulie that it's Tiff, and Paulie then told Tiff to give her a heads up so she wouldn't freak out during the ceremony. Paul's speech was hilarious. He actually played a good game this week. Not his fault Vic can't buy a clue. Are we ever gonna get an episode without a James prank?

North of Eden July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 Well, I guess I should have known it was too good to last. I was enjoying DaVonne's play this year but she is totally going to blow up her own game with this vendetta against Tiffany. Its her rage against Clay, Shelly and Aubrey all over again and eventually its going to make her a liability to her own alliance if she can't hold her s@#t together. I was having SURVIVOR flashbacks tonight when Vic was jonesing with his eyes to get Paul to use his power to pick him. Those were the same eyes Scott (d-bag) was using on Tai to play the super idol...both came to the same result...but in this case I felt a twinge of sympathy towards Vic because he's so hapless. In other news I forgot Brigette was even in the house. Also on Rob Cesternino's podcast he was suggesting Natalie was receptive to James's charms....I think I would rather see footage of that than another James prank but since probably 50% of the reason he was brought back was for these pranks we should expect to see them all summer. I am really liking Zakiyah's cool demeanor. I think she could go a long way in this game and I did notice her sleeping in Paulie's bed. That would be a hot showmance right there. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45213-s18e07-power-of-veto-2/#findComment-2385277

From what I've seen (and I'm not the best BB historian) the backdoor has mostly been used for competitors that are too good at comps and so you have to get them out through the backdoor. To date, I don't think Tiffany has won anything. I don't particularly remember her being close....so why would she think she would be backdoored? Especially given that it was someone totally out of her alliance, and completely out of the majority alliance that put her up. I guess you could believe that Victor went to the entire 8 pack and they gave out your name as a person to backdoor, but your alliance can turn on you at anytime and get you out in an easier way. I might better understand her paranoia if she had no idea who won the RK. But even logically, to me, it seems like the plan to BD Victor would be honest because it makes so much more sense. He is a strong competitor, didn't he almost win the first competition on the rocket? I don't even quite understand the tears, because she has to know that is going to make people compare her to Vanessa. Especially when she was crying over being backdoored when it wouldn't have made much sense for anyone. Except maybe Frank? I also don't understand why she wanted to win the POV so much. Lets just say she won it and took herself off the block. Thats awesome, but doesn't it just make her look like she doesn't trust her alliance? Doesn't it put a target on her back with the rest of the majority alliance? She takes herself off, and Victor puts up a new nominee and the entire plan to get him out is ruined....it seems to me like they would blame her. Would she want to really lose any trust she has with 7-8 other players? I don't know. Maybe it would be worth it if she could get the HOH, but if they are playing on teams that is a 1 in 3-4 chance.....with a vet who will surely not want her to get HOH. She would at least be safe, but no matter who was put up, she would have that target on her back. 2 hours ago, Katesus7 said: I like that the spelling comp is more Scrabble based in that you have to get the most points.

ghoulina July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 (edited) Tiffany is totally Vanessa 2.0 - just not as hyper. I really cannot stand her, and I wouldn't be sad if she went home tonight over Victor. And it's not because she fought for herself in the Veto comp, I know that urge is hard to resist. But it's because she's totally unstable and if it were me, I wouldn't want to be in alliance with her. Why is she becoming all paranoid about her own alliance when Victor is the one who put her up??? I could understand if he didn't out himself as the RK winner, but damn. He's on the block, he nominated someone from the power alliance. Big surprise. Your group had nothing to do with it, so take a seat. Victor's face is glorious. He hides nothing. I loved watching him during the Veto pick ceremony. It was almost as great as watching Scot on the last season of Survivor, waiting for that Idol to be handed to him. The confidence, the expectation, the realization....just awesome. As much as I don't like Paul, he may just be playing a smart game. At this point, he had little chance but to go along with Paulie. But it wouldn't shock me if a little bromance developed out of this, and alliances shifted, and Paul ends up safe next week. We shall see. As for the Veto comp itself, it was interesting to see a new twist on the old "spell a word" challenge. Instead of aiming for the longest word, you needed to try and use harder letters. But I don't think everyone caught onto that. Take Paulie - he had the longest word, but it was worth the same amount of points as shorter words. He only won because he got it in quicker. I was impressed, though, that he correctly spelled such a long word. In fact, I was impressed that there were no misspellings. But at the same time, I was depressed by it. Because snarking on words like "potroasts" is my favorite part of these challenges! Final thought - does everyone just shower in the HOH room? I might piss people off, but damn....if I had my own shower for the week, I wouldn't be letting everybody and their brother funk it up.

I think one huge mistake is to bring back people, or relatives of people, of whom we are already sick.. Casting is far too bland and one-note. There isn't anywhere near the animosity we need for a good show. When the Friendship was pitted against Howie/Janelle -- that was good TV. They could take a tip from Survivor and cast naturally antagonistic groups like half old people and half young. This is about the point I quit watching last year and it's not just the boredom, it's THE MESS!

Not only is "SUSTAINABILITY" an awesome word choice, I am trying to figure out how Paulie retrieved all of those particular letters in only 12 minutes. That's a lot of slime-searching in a fairly short amount of time. Does Paul consult the Encyclopedia of Cliches before every visit to the DR? "So my hands are tied, and I'm at the end of my rope, but actions speak louder than words, better to be safe than sorry, and you can't judge a book by its cover blah blah blah...."

But going and crying to your alliance about being a backdoor target when there is no indication that you are seems like you're just painting a big old target on your back. And going against them at this point, also paints a big target on her back. Paulie was actually put up by his "alliance" (in quotes, because he isn't in TEP) and he took it in stride even though he also has a family member connection. Tiffany knew that she hadn't been put up by anyone in her alliance but by some guy that was just sort of shooting in the dark. At this point, I don't know if I would trust her. Paul isn't in TEP and he was adhered more to the plan than Tiffany did. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45213-s18e07-power-of-veto-2/#findComment-2387517
Lady Calypso July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 25 minutes ago, RCharter said: But, I don't see how she would be a big threat to her alliance at this point. I could see her maybe being a threat if she was forming other alliances, but I haven't heard much about that. But going and crying to your alliance about being a backdoor target when there is no indication that you are seems like you're just painting a big old target on your back. And going against them at this point, also paints a big target on her back. Paulie was actually put up by his "alliance" (in quotes, because he isn't in TEP) and he took it in stride even though he also has a family member connection. Tiffany knew that she hadn't been put up by anyone in her alliance but by some guy that was just sort of shooting in the dark. At this point, I don't know if I would trust her. Paul isn't in TEP and he was adhered more to the plan than Tiffany did. I'm definitely not disagreeing with you! I think she's just made herself a bigger target because of her paranoia. I just think Tiffany was warned by Vanessa about how she could be a target because of her, and that's where she keeps jumping to. The Roussos are definitely more sensitive, more paranoid, and think about the worst case scenarios. So she is assuming that her alliance may be lying to her and may actually be trying to get her out instead of Victor, and that they may have teamed up to get her out. Paulie's done a much better job at calming down and not letting himself overthink things, while Tiffany lets it get the best of her. She's just overthinking things, but it's not the worst thing to consider. It's just those thoughts take over and that can be very, very frustrating. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45213-s18e07-power-of-veto-2/#findComment-2387606

Maybe the mayonnaise clogged up the drainage pipes...? :> The ants invaded it early in the first week or early in the second. That might have something to do with it, too. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45213-s18e07-power-of-veto-2/#findComment-2388064

Yea, I get the impression that people are so used to James's pranks, they're basically expecting one all the time. He's going to need to really switch it up if he thinks he's going to genuinely shock anyone at this point. 11 hours ago, Callaphera said: The ants invaded it early in the first week or early in the second. That might have something to do with it, too. I'd tell them they could shower with the ants. Winning HOH gives you the luxury of an ant-free shower. I know, I'm mean. I'd probably be first evicted. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45213-s18e07-power-of-veto-2/#findComment-2388835

No. "Staged" would have been Nicole walking by and saying "Hi, James" before James popped out.
