Really looking forward to this, never seen the USA version, is it similar to the Canadian set up? Because I'm loving that

Posted by: J▲hq Apr 17 2016, 03:47 PM

^ Yes. And with a complete Queen of Life hosting it, making it even better.

Posted by: Froot. Apr 17 2016, 04:13 PM

Arisa >>>>>>> Chenbot

I've actually preferred the Candian version to the past three US editions that I've seen but, yeah, the format is essentially the same, just that there's a bit less fun.

Posted by: JosephStyles Apr 17 2016, 04:24 PM

Julie >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Arisa

Really excited for this even if I do normally prefer the Canadian one these days Just over 2 months

Posted by: J▲hq Apr 17 2016, 04:26 PM

People claim that *I* have bad opinions

(Seriously though, Arisa is what lets the Canadian side down for me)

Posted by: Liаm Apr 17 2016, 05:01 PM

I don't mind Arisa in general but I do invariably want to slap her hard when she says BBCan Grand 80 times an episode. Having said that, I prefer this season of BBCan to both the US series I watched. I was pretty much done with BB16 when Nicole left and they were all horrid, and then last season I kind of begrudgingly watched it, I was only really routing for Jackie, obviously Davonne but she went so early, and maybe Meg/James. Once they'd left I didn't care about any of them really but I was still interested to see how things went. With this season of BBCan, I've found myself watching evictions live and checking for noms spoilers because I just couldn't wait! I agree it's a bit more fun, while maintaining the interesting aspects of the US format it doesn't take itself quite so seriously. I think that's why the US series can feel a bit draggy, it's really interesting for a few weeks then it gets a bit much.

as if we didn't have enough devil spawns in existence

Posted by: Aaron. May 27 2016, 03:17 PM

Did anyone catch the Price is Right BB Special? They were able to get some *.* people.
Janelle, Dr Will, Britney, Rachel (pre baby), Jeff and Da'Vonne were all called down.
Frankie was as well... such a tool.
There were others as well.. Jiz, Austin, Lawon, Kalia.... but the BEST of all was BB Goddess Jenn Johnson.
It was kind of useless to watch, they didn't interact much.. Julie was there and was amazing as ever.
Janelle and Will and their contestants were the final two... OMG how was this not the F2 in All Stars?! Will won of course.
They better be setting us up for an Allstars season again.

Posted by: Riser May 28 2016, 01:52 AM

Yes I loved it!! I didn't realize they would have sooo many past houseguests there! Yeah it was a bit pointless with the Big Brother people just standing there for the most part, but it still was nice to see all of them and Julie had so many moments which made it all worth watching. I'm glad Britney got some screen time and that Frankie never made it on stage. The other highlight being Zingbot in the crowd and presenting the showcase *.*

The full show is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dZwCve7PtY

Posted by: 💯 May 28 2016, 08:24 AM

This is my first time watching the show and oh god it was chaotic. Frankie is so useless indeed

Posted by: Aaron. May 28 2016, 03:43 PM

I don't think I've actually seen an episode in 10 years, at least since Drew Carey became the house. I agree, it was quite chaotic. They used to focus a bit more on the contestants.
That male model was damn fine tho. The flex off was great to watch, even if Jesse is a complete moron.

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 1 2016, 11:36 PM

Caleb (Beastmode Sex Boi) is returning to Survivor again, so, if this is an All-Stars season (or whatever) he won't be participating.
He was in the last season of Survivor (that just aired) but was medically evacuated.

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 7 2016, 01:15 PM

A tweet sent out by Vanessa, people were guessing she was trying to search twitter. She deleted it right away. Tiffany is her sister.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Jun 7 2016, 01:30 PM

a bit dumb for her to be """accidentally""" tweeting something about her sister this way. not quite buying it. starting a rumour/hype mill for her sister perhaps?

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 7 2016, 04:34 PM

I think it was an accident, she deleted it right away.. but people still caught it. I think it could be true.. they're looking for "production assistants" in the city where Vanessa's sister lives, they use them to film the intro scenes where the housemates get their keys.
Tons of rumours going on today.

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 7 2016, 04:39 PM

If there is an All-Stars/Half-Allstars/Returning Players we can pretty much eliminate the following people as they're hosting a launch party:

Jason, BECKAH, John, Jiz, Shelli, Jason, Cody, Nicole, FRANKIE (thank god), Derrick, Gina-Marie, Jenn Shitty.

There were a few others, older BB players that I doubt anyone would know unless you've watched all the seasons, some I couldn't even f***ing remember the names of.

Posted by: Liаm Jun 7 2016, 04:42 PM

thank god we don't have to suffer Jason again Nicole and John are the only losses.

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 7 2016, 06:07 PM

I actually really liked Jason last year; he was a smart game-player.. he knew exactly what was going on at all times. His only real downfall was that he was associated with Da'Vonne and that's what got him kicked out. Austin/Shelly also seemed to have something unfounded against him.
He was also hilarious on the feeds.. very funny, very sharp.. his portrayal on the show was a little goofy I suppose. The hardcore feedsters seem to really like him.. didn't he place Top 3 in the Jury/Housemate prize?

I think Nicole will have a chance to play again. We really need a full All-Stars season.

Posted by: J▲hq Jun 7 2016, 06:13 PM

Jason was one of the best. Please no at Vanessa's sister (unless she's drastically different...)

Posted by: Liаm Jun 7 2016, 06:21 PM

I found Jason really irritating, just never took to him personally.

As for Vanessa's sister, no thanks if it's going to be a whole "nobody can know!11!1!" thing that she forces on everyone once it is revealed At least I could already imagine all the diary room things of her saying how different she is to Vanessa or how she doesn't want to be a target.

Posted by: Riser Jun 7 2016, 09:07 PM

Is there any chance of it being "blood vs. water" (former contestants playing against family members) like Survivor and The Challenge have done? I can see them doing that after seeing the rumor of Vanessa's sister, but I hope they don't...it's already been done twice on Survivor and it kind of borrows from The Amazing Race too, so I don't really care to see it on Big Brother.

So packing up my bags and kissing my babies goodbye. Hubby surprised me with a trip to Greece for our 6 yr anniversary.

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 13 2016, 03:20 AM

Some interesting observations pointed out on another forum:

- Frank has cryptic tweets and even retweeted something related to Big Brother, which he has never done.. he seems to have disowned Big Brother after his season.
- Vanessa tweeted from a Twitter Client that she hasn't used before (could be someone using her Twitter).
- Amanda has turned off the locations for her tweets.

Cast reveal is tomorrow morning; so I guess we will find what's going on!

ETA:

Big BrotherVerified account
‏@CBSBigBrother
#MeetTheHGsLive will not be streamed live tomorrow. Cast interviews will be available Tue 4pm ET/1pm PT to #CBSAllAccess subscribers.

So no cast reveal today.

Posted by: J▲hq Jun 14 2016, 02:02 AM

Apparently the delay is out of respect to Orlando and there are theories that someone going in (or was due to) is from the area.

Excited for the reveal, I'm here for a completely new batch of housemates where all the returnee rumours turn out to be bulls*** again

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 14 2016, 01:43 PM

ETA: Nevermind

Posted by: J▲hq Jun 14 2016, 06:17 PM

Could be on to something Vanessa's sister has turned out to be true and Cody's brother is also in.

Only 12 in the cast reveal so there must be some returnees that are being held back.

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 14 2016, 06:59 PM

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/big-brother-18-houseguests-revealed-902605?utm_source=twitter

Cast, Cody's Brother and Vanessa's sister are playing. 4 Returnees expected.. probably the Coach twist again.
The person that spoiled that Cody's Brother and Vanessa's sister were playing has said that the returning players are: Da'Vonne, James, Nicole (from Derrick's season) and Frank

Posted by: JosephOdell Jun 14 2016, 07:12 PM

DA'VONNE !!!!!! I cannot WAIT

Posted by: J▲hq Jun 14 2016, 07:18 PM

I am here for them (Frank aside, yuck). Da'vonne isn't exactly qualified to be a coach though if they were repeating that twist??!

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 14 2016, 07:34 PM

There may be more than 16 people too.. this season is 99 days apparently.

Posted by: Liаm Jun 14 2016, 08:01 PM

NICOLE YES

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Jun 14 2016, 08:01 PM

Oh my god I will be living for the first and third names from that post. Yasssss

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 14 2016, 10:59 PM

I don't get why people aren't more excited about the prospect of Frank returning. He was a competition beast in his season and was actually there to play the game. His level of douchiness with Mike Boogie was unpalatable, yes, but he improved once he left and really fought hard. I'm excited to see him play again if he is indeed coming back.

I, however, don't think any of the four are really "Coach" worthy. None of them did well at all in their season. I think with the four possible names we have that BB should just find two other Veterans and make it Fans vs Favorites or something. We all know Paul and Tiffany are likely to switch sides evening out the numbers a little more.

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 22 2016, 12:58 PM

TONIGHT SUMMER BEGINS.
We still didn't have a reveal of the 4 returnees. The 4 I mentioned before were just really solid rumours, but never confirmed. I'm pretty sure they are our four, but Shelli and Howard have also had their names come up.

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 23 2016, 01:58 AM

Glad to see the Frank/Nicole/Da'Vonne/James rumour was true.
Apparently Shelli and Howard were supposed to be on this season, so 8 Housemates/6 Returnees until Howard had his godson killed in the Pulse attack.
Amanda and Ian were alternates, meaning Ian got a spot in the house as Howards replacement.
However, they're already casting for BB Allstars next season, with Ian returning, so they decided to go with just 4 Returnees instead of 6.

This makes sense, with Vanessa's Sister/Cody's Brother this would have evened out the season 8/8 (if the Sibling swapped sides), apparently the "Teams" was a last minute decision.
Glenn and Bronte were alternate houseguests judging by the "Getting The Key" segment, they were in the only two cities that didn't have an open casting to film this segment.

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 23 2016, 02:36 AM

Quick Assessment:

Paul: Shave that beard. Damn you're fine. You won't win tho.
Victor: More concerned about getting Pussy over winning.
Corey: My pick as the winner, by far.
Paulie: Hi Cody.
Bronte: Annoying AF.
Bridgette: Michelle 2.0
Zakiyah: WHO?! So relevant for the first 15 mins than *POOF*
Jozea: Oh Hey Gurl.
Glenn: Nope.
Michelle: Honestly Nicole 2.0
Natalie: WHO?! So relevant for the first 15 mins than *POOF*
Tiffany. Hi Vanessa.
Da'Vonne: SO SCREWED OVER. This could have been her season. But this twist honestly will screw her over.
Nicole: 3rd time ain't a charm I'm sure.
Frank: You go Frank.
James: WHO?! So relevant for the first 15 mins than *POOF*

The girl returnees are screwed by this edit. Frank and Corey F2 I'm sure.

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 23 2016, 02:46 AM

Also, In Danger because I wasn't paying attention: Corey, Tiffany, Glenn, Nicole.
Wow. This surprises me. They all had somewhat of an edit. If I had to guess in terms of danger: Glenn > Nicole > Tiffany > Glenn.

Posted by: Cody Collins Jun 23 2016, 05:39 AM

It's gonna be interesting having the team gimmick as a twist

Here's my impressions on the housemates:

Category 4:
Frank: Pretty big guy, did extremely well last season, hopefully he can navigate his way through this new pond. The small connection he had with Michelle was kinda cute!

Michelle: There's always that one person who says they're a huge fan of the show and then all of a sudden... nothing. She made a good choice with her first impressions with Frank. She also spotted Tiffany's bluff, so that kind of got her another potential alliance mate.

Paulie: *faints* I. AM. LUSTING. Hopefully his reputation as Calafiore #2 (as in second to reach the BB House) doesn't affect his position in the game negatively, because I do think he can at least get jury. Or if he somehow gets eliminated early, can return. He's actually making more of a name for himself and separating himself from the equally as hot Cody. He was my fave (+Victoria) during season 16, so that bodes well for him.

Oh, and he needs to leave his shirt off for the REST OF THE SEASON.

Bridgette: That hustling during the second challenge - AMAZING. She comes across as a bit mousy at times, but she's got a strong will, and I see her dark horsing this season.

-

Big Sister:
Da'Vonne: I was rooting for her last season and was kinda disappointed she didn't really light the season ablaze, so hopefully this second chance will do good for her. You can tell that she has the drive for this. I see a potential rivalry with Paul, and when their team is on the chopping block, I can see one of them going home first.

Paul: ALREADY SO ANNOYING. Da'Vonne says he comes off as too aggressive - well I get that, he's a rocker. He's in the same situation with Da'Vonne in that in the event Big Sister is the last place team, one of them would be the first two to go home.

Jozea: Certainly giving off "speaks the audience's mind" teas judging from his confessionals and connections. Can see him having so many memorable moments from his one-liners ALONE.

Zakiyah: Her head's in the game, definitely. She needs more screen time so that we can get to know her more. I think she's gonna be more than a sheep to the crumbling Paul/Da'Vonne ruling order.

-

Team Unicorn: BEST NAME EVER.
James: At first I was thinking "WHY?" because he never really appealed to me much last season, but he seems a lot stronger as a competitor this season. He'll probably be brushed to the side but hopefully his moments last year will translate into more moments this year. (If anyone else was going to join Da'Vonne though I wanted it to be either Clay or Queen Audrey)

Victor: If it doesn't go to Paulie, he's our resident playboy. I applaud his efforts in the rocket challenge, but I feel like he needs to play and not get too distracted.

Natalie: KILLED IT in the rocket challenge. If she can write out her own plot rather than be a potential showmance for Victor, I'm all for it.

Venezuelan? HELL YES.

Bronte: Same thing. I feel like we already have our token quirky girl this season though, and Nicole and Michelle are already fighting for that spot as it is. She was hilarious during the rocket challenge though.

-

The Freakazoids:
Nicole: UGH NICOLE BBY, how I missed you. Once again, she is gracing us with her presence one way or another. I don't want her to go home so early.

Corey: Already over thirty minutes since the season premiere ended and they only had one scene together AND I'M ALREADY SHIPPING HIM AND NICOLE. He kinda strikes me as Clay 2.0, but I keep thinking there's something else to him. Also my pick to dark horse this competition. Sure the edit he got was to make him seem a bit boring, but I'm pretty sure he's a big buffoon on the inside. Or... with those homophobic allegations coming to light, he could become the villain of the season? THAT WOULD BE INSANELY HOT. I don't want him gone early. I just don't.

Also, same as Paulie. Just don't wear a shirt again.

Tiffany: ALREADY MY FAVORITE. PLEASE WIN.

Glenn: Yeah... he's got a sweet heart and motivations and everything, but I don't see him lasting too much longer with this team at this rate.

Posted by: Froot. Jun 23 2016, 09:13 AM

Da'Vonne I'd already seen the (basically true) rumours but so happy to see it actually happen even if it is so random. I can't believe she had first pick of all the guys and went for Paul though... She NEEDS to stay a lot longer this year because she already had me howling, especially when she was talking about Tiffany being Vanessa's sister and when they built the sandcastle wrong at the end: 'Psych...yes chop it down'

Paul is so irritating and needs to go ASAP

I'm guessing the final challenge could be more of a mental challenge unless they're just trying to get Glenn out. I don't really want to see Nicole or Tiffany out this early.

On a side note, I've been watching most of BB13 over the last few weeks and it amuses me how hard the producers were trying to keep the veterans in the game for as long as possible so I hope they try and do the same here. Well I don't really care about James or Frank (not seen his season) but...

Posted by: J▲hq Jun 23 2016, 09:47 AM

Da'vonne already being iconic. She should've just went along with Paulie because she's ended up with the team that I'm so ugh about, Paul is my instant least favourite.

How the hell did Frank ever win America's favourite? I'll never understand, but he looks almost unrecognisable and a lot better without all the hair tbf. Michelle is my initial favourite of the newbies.

Hope Glenn is the first to go, he's disposable. Tiffany and Nicole need to last longer.

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 23 2016, 12:52 PM

It looks like based on commercials, the final challenge for HOH will be Endurance. I'm interested to see what this Sunday competition is and of course there is the Veto.
No BOTB this year, thank GOD.

BB13 was rigged from start to finish, aside from Daniele it was a terrible season.

Posted by: HarryEzra Jun 23 2016, 05:51 PM

I just watched first episode first thought are love Paule, Natalie or Michelle (basically the one that looks like Nicole) and the pre school teacher (Her name is hard to spell ) Of Course, I like the returning ones too, Dayvonne, James and Nicole and also the other guy even though I didnt watch his season.

I hate Paul with a passion like what a smug bossy little twat.

Also I love Paule but wtf at his decision to announce he is Cody's brother so early I would have just told the returning houseguests. Same with Tiffany. I don't think she is as smart as Vanessa but we will wait and see.

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 23 2016, 08:10 PM

NVM

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 24 2016, 02:01 AM

I really don't want to root for Nicole, but, I don't really have a choice, do I?
God her voice is so annoying.
Shocked to see it as close as what it was between Glenn and Corey; I would have been in shock if Corey left first.

#GETJOZEAOUT
He's horrible. Such an entitled attitude.
I'm not exactly sure if putting Paulie up was the best choice.... if he doesn't win veto, he could very likely go home. I think it would become obvious he's working with the Vets and the Returnees would just vote him out and keep Jozea.

Also. It's Returnee. Not Returner.

Posted by: JosephOdell Jun 24 2016, 10:56 AM

Delighted Nicole managed to avoid eviction and win HOH! Her and Mama Da' are by far and away my favourites right now. Paul on the other hand is HORRIBLE, he thinks he runs the place and I really hope he can be an early boot. Jozea isn't much better though. I knew he was bad from the minute he suggested Julie should do one in the DR in episode 1 :')

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 24 2016, 01:06 PM

Spoilerz: There are three nominations, Paul is now up. I'm assuming this has to do with what the new twist is, which I haven't found out yet

Posted by: J▲hq Jun 24 2016, 02:21 PM

I think Da'vonne is my favourite houseguest to play this game since Rachel.

This season is off to a great start with Glenn out and Nicole HOH but I'm nervous about the noms and the veto, to ensure Jozea goes they need someone else on his side on the block (so that if the pawn does accidentally go home, hey, who cares really).

Posted by: Cody Collins Jun 24 2016, 06:22 PM

THANK JESUS NICOLE AND TIFFANY ARE SAFE. Nicole is just so worried about Corey, I can just see heart eyes And Nicole's the first HOH. That's two of my holy trinity safe for now.

I just knew Glenn would be going home. Now to get rid of Paul...

Okay. Maybe both Victor and Paul might be villain material.

The more I watch, the more I fall in love with Da'Vonne. She needs to get to the final five at least.

Posted by: Cody Collins Jun 24 2016, 06:59 PM

The feeds are revealing so much about potential alliances:

• The BB18 Holy Trinity (Tiffany/Nicole/Michelle) + Day & Zakiyah
• the vets
• bro alliance between Paulie/Corey/Frank
• the giant combo alliance between the above three
• Bronte/Natalie/Bridgette (aka Powerpuff Girls)
• Victor/Jozea/Paul (aka the villain alliance)

So TWO all-female alliances with only one day's worth of live BBAD feeds, YES

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 27 2016, 01:22 AM

Daymn Da'Vonne and Nicole are really hogging time in these episodes. I still am not a fan of Nicole, but I love Da'Vonne.
In a way I feel bad for the Newbies, they get no facetime in these episodes. Josea needs to GTFO tho.

BB Roadkill - sooooooo you mean MVP but instead of America Voting it's a competition?
I'm still deciding if I like this idea or not, but I will say I hate the name.

Frank winning was great, he went in saying he wasn't going to work out and he wasn't going to be a competition beast.. he's broken both of those rules so far. But I loved Frank the Tank - so bring it!

This alliance of 6 I really like.. Especially Michelle. I think out of all the Newbies she is my favorite.
This Bronte/Natalie/Bridgette alliance is annoying AF.

Posted by: HarryEzra Jun 27 2016, 12:41 PM

The BB Roadkill is a good twist. Does it take place of Veto? If so thats annoying as I like Veto

Posted by: JosephOdell Jun 27 2016, 04:17 PM

The veto's always there!

I really like the 8 Pack alliance already, Nicole and Da'Vonne are running away with it for me so I'm dying for them to get far. BB Roadkill... not sure yet but it got Paul nominated so absolutely no complaints right now

Posted by: J▲hq Jun 27 2016, 04:26 PM

I don't like how they've essentially recycled a twist again, but I guess it's fairer than MVP (as much as I was on board with that because of Elissa).

Yep, I'm glad Michelle has been roped in, I thought she'd be good with her already being in on Tiffany's secret (are the others not picking up on that? There was no mention last night). The Spy Girls alliance seem so ditzy, they can't compete with the big dogs.

Is Paulie not part of the big gang now? I thought he was working with the vets but tbh I don't really care if he's not in the 8 Pack.

Posted by: Froot. Jun 29 2016, 12:45 PM

I've been looking over the Twitter the past week and Jozea and Paul seem even more horrendous on the live feeds, they genuinely think they're going to win the game and are going to be incredibly famous when they come out yet they the only season of Big Brother they've watched is BB16. Apparently they're always looking at the camera to put on a show and they're saying that they are getting all the airtime. They're just awful.



Also, people seem to be thinking that this year there will be a pre-jury returning player rather than post-jury. I guess the producers will just decide depending on who leaves though. I just hope that when Jozea/Paul leave, they're gone for GOOD.

ALSO, apparently Paul is the only one without an alliance

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 29 2016, 12:53 PM

Jozea is literally theeeeeee worst.
So long story short, Paul won the veto. Nominations are Paulie/Josea and Bridgette. The votes are there to evict Josea. Josea had no idea that he was going until last night when he worked out the numbers and proceeded to make a fake alliance with what I believe would be Natalie + Co. as they're the swing votes this week. He proceeded to get resistance from Natalie and just blamed it on her PMS. Her eyes were rolling the entire time.
It's Nicole's birthday today. This will be Keesha's Birthday 2.0. The other side HATES Nicole.

I think there will likely be a Pre-Jury Returnee. It seems like Glenn was sequestered? I haven't fully looked into this.

Posted by: HarryEzra Jun 29 2016, 02:13 PM

'Masterminds of the house' Bitch no, Your a dumbass for telling Da'vonne about that your gunning for Nicole, then James etc (the returning players) far from being a mastermind if you ask me.

Posted by: Liаm Jun 29 2016, 04:08 PM

Finally catching up, nearly screamed when Nicole and Davonne came out!! My two faves from the two seasons I've watched. This cast seem instantly more impactful, for want of a better word. By that I mean I already really don't like Paul and Jozea, and Bronte is REALLY annoying, and this is just from the opener, whereas last season I was like "aw they all seem nice", so they've made an impression quicker. Of course things could change though. It just seems like a cast of bigger and better characters already!

Posted by: Aaron. Jun 30 2016, 01:00 AM

Thank GOD we are almost done with Jozea. What a waste of space. So clueless.
Bridgette annoys me.
Frank is doing very well.

Posted by: Liаm Jun 30 2016, 10:16 PM

I'll spoiler this just in case but it's nothing to do with game:

Bronte has been making racist comments on live feed about "sending James back to Hong Kong" :/ Couldn't stand her anyway but we don't need Aaryn-lite.

Also Paul and especially Jozea are two of the most instantly unlikable contestants I've ever seen in anything like this!! I hated them by the end of the double opener, normally any normal person takes ages to annoy me this much.

Posted by: HarryEzra Jun 30 2016, 10:24 PM

They was so instantly disikeable for me too Bronte is getting there too tbh

Posted by: Liаm Jun 30 2016, 10:50 PM

Oh I cannot stand Bronte either It just take an episode or so longer than the other two, but her VOICE. Jesus christ.

01 Nicole (forever queen)
02 Da'Vonne (quotable queen! I hope she lasts longer this time, she has the game I just last year it was unfortunate things transpired how they did and she lost her cool and her game crumbled)
03 Tiffany (lowkey stanning and PRAYING she stays this way and doesn't end up like her sister)
---------------------
04 Frank (didn't see his season but he seems a good player and likeable)
05 Paulie (he's just instantly really likeable for me, seems like a good guy)
06 Michelle (I like her, she seems fun and pretty smart so far)
07 Zakiyah (not really seeing enough of her, Da'Vonne fills the sassy quota so I hope she isn't just a budget Da'Vonne but they've got on well so I fear she may be??)
08 Corey (distractingly stunning, oh my christ)
09 James (I like him but was never a huge fan in his series, he's far from my fave)
----------------------
10 Natalie (she seems very bland so far)
11 Bridgette (not too bad but could get really annoying I feel)
12 Glenn (nothing special but I did feel a bit sorry for him going so early
-------------------------------------------------------
13 Victor (very sleazy and awful with his alliance)
14 Bronte (OH MY GOD SO f***ING IRRITATING SHUT UP BITCH)
15 Paul (no words needed, so rude about the returnees the second they got there, such an inflated opinin of himself)
16 Jozea (THE WORST. God it will be so satisfying to see him go.)

Ohh Imma do a rank too tbh

1. Da'vonne - My queen of life tbh Her quotes are literally the best thing. I hope she is a lot more smarter this time.
2. Nicole - I didn't watch a lot of her series (due to Frankie Grande Ill be honest) but she seems like a smart, nice and well rounded and respected player
3. Frank - I did not watch his series BUT he is such a nice guy and he is social skills and great game to go with it. I also find him kinda hot ngl.
------------------------------
4. Michelle - She seems so lovely and could actually be a good player.
5. Paulie - Seems like a lovely guy, could be a big player in the game and is so good looking
6.Tiffany - I think again seems like a good player but I don;t know if atm she will be a great player like I thought Vanessa was (also at the same time I hope she doesn't get annoying)
7. Zakayah - I have not seem much of her but I like her in the Alliance just worry she could be budget Mama Day
8. Corey - Visually stunning but haven't seem him do much within the Alliance and the show but is likeable and should continue to be that way.
9. James - I like him and his pranks but wasnt a firm fave last series and most likely wont be one this series either.
----------------------------
10. Bridgette - Have not seem much of her
11. Natalie - Again not seem much of her
12. Glenn - Yeah was pointless but I did feel so bad for him leaving so early
---------------------------
13. Bronte - Getting irritating and also with Bridgette and Natalie too this allience thingy is such a shit move and I hope it backfires on them
14. Viktor - Sucha sleezy guy Like taking of his shirt to talk to Nicole and throwing Jozea under the bus basically (also a good thing I suppose )
15. Paul - Loud annoying Tool. Like why are you so hell bent on getting the returnees's out They have great social game use it to your advantage you idiot.
16. Jozea - AND THE AWARD FOR WORST GAMEPLAN MOVE AND LEADER goes to Jozea. Announcing to Da'vonne what your plan is I.e getting the returnees out the house and then hosting a meeting about getting Paulie out, to which you have the 'great' idea to invite to of the other people in the allience along. Oh and the small matter of then lieing to Paulies face. Hardly the best game plan ever.

I am dying at the girls being lke "omg we need a cool name xxxxxx" and calling themselves SPY GIRLS. It sounds like the name you'd give a playground game that was a carbon copy of Totally Spies when you're 5.

Posted by: JosephOdell Jul 1 2016, 12:10 AM

LOVE
1. Da'Vonne - so many MOMENTS, please do a Rachel and win on attempt #2.
2. Nicole
3. Frank
4. Zakiyah
5. James - only the lowest of the vets because he's had the least screentime so far I'd say

LIKE
6. Tiffany
7. Paulie
8. Michelle
9. Corey

MEH
10. Natalie
11. Bridgette
12. Bronte (I thought she could be quite fun but she's just irritating now)
13. Viktor (get playing the game and stop thinking about getting girls)

GET RID
14. Paul - he's so unbelievably full of himself, so unpleasant to watch and the house would be so much better without him.
15. Jozea - saving Paul from last due to somehow being EVEN WORSE. He thinks he's ADORED by everyone, wtf?!?! Slight Devin teas with the house meeting too.

Omg Yes! I thought that too I was like 'Lol nice name did you come up with that when you was 10 bbz xoxoxoxo'

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 1 2016, 02:12 AM

LOVE
FRANK: Playing the best game in there. G'WAN FRANK! I HAVE FAITH IN YOU!
DA'VONNE: Yes Girl. God it looks like she's gonna do well!

LIKE
PAULIE: Will play his brothers EXACT game. But what he fails to realize is that his brother had Derrick to help him and played with a bunch of people that couldn't play the game. Early boot (post jury) is likely.
ZAKIYAH: Yass. Keep following in those Da'Vonne Footsteps.
MICHELLE: Teetering on Love. I think she will be AMAZING.
NATALIE: I see a lot of potential, but her not voting with the Majority may cost her.
JAMES: The pranks are enough. Staph.

MEH
PAUL: I feel if we ever get sick of the returners, he will be the one we root for the most. But for now, especially with a Da'Vonne/Nicole Returners edit, this won't happen.
COREY: Probably will do very well, but kind of boring at the moment. Also, try searching for Corey's Gay Topics. He's a homophobe who like dick apparently.
TIFFANY: Like. What. Where did you go?! I likely think she will be like Vanessa and AMERGE IN WEEK 3.

HATE
VICTOR: Damn. This dude would be so fine if he had a better hair cut and shaved the facial hair. Nothing else is attractive. At all.
BRONTE: That voice tho. She did an excellent job of calming down Paul, but she lost me after that. She CHOOSES to be in the minority. f***ing dumb c**t.
BRIDGETTE: Who?! Like. Useless. Get the f*** out.
JOZEA: Bye Felica. Best first boot ever. He was the first boot too. Glenn just lost a competition. This dude got voted out.
NICOLE: I've always hated Nicole and this season is no exception. Her voice is so annoying. Am I rooting for the Returners. Yes. Nicole. No.

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 1 2016, 03:01 AM

And the HOH is... PAULIE! Eep.

Posted by: J▲hq Jul 1 2016, 09:45 AM

I like the sound of 'Battle Back'. It's something different to the first five evictees just playing one comp against each other. As long as Jozea doesn't happen to be a comp beast and win them all.

Bronte, I can't take her talking about how attractive she finds Paulie seriously when she sounds about ten??

Here for the Fatal Five

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 2 2016, 01:57 PM

Nominations: Bronte & Paul
Roadkill Winner: Victor
Roadkill Nominee: Tiffany
Notes: Victor is the backdoor target. Frank/Bridgette and Michelle are all safe because they're on Paulie's team. Although Victor won the Roadkill competition, he can STILL be nominated IF Tiffany doesn't win the veto - so she needs to throw it. Really, only James, Natalie, Da'Vonne, Zakiyah, Nicole, Corey or Victor can be nominated as the replacement nominee. Which sucks because I like 6 out of the 7 of them. James tried to start an argument with Victor after finding out he won the Roadkill Competition because he wanted to be nominated and was going to throw the veto. THIS TEAM MADNESS NEEDS TO END. I do like the Roadkill twist tho, so that can stay.

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 4 2016, 01:03 AM

GIT THAT GAME FRANK.
I'm still in awe on how well he is playing. I knew he would do me proud if given the chance to return.
I think he needs to watch how late he cuts the 8-Person Alliance. I think he really needs to keep either Paul or Victor around after their expiry dates to make sure he has the numbers to take out the Vets + Tiff/Zak/Michelle when it comes down to it.

I don't know why Natalie was crying about Jozea going home. She knew he was leaving, she was told and given the opportunity to change her vote and she didn't. I'm not sure if Bronte knew, but I'm sure Natalie would have filled her in.

Oh, and STAPH with all the James segments. It was funny once and a while last season, but not every single f***ing episode.

Posted by: Liаm Jul 4 2016, 11:52 PM

Screaming @ Paul not knowing what backdoor is

Posted by: J▲hq Jul 7 2016, 09:22 AM

SHE'S COUNTING MY LETTERS

Love you Da

I'm gradually liking Paul a bit more, not picking Victor for the POV was great. If Da'vonne got her way and they sent Tiffany packing this week I wouldn't be set against it, not here for her turning into Vanessa, but I don't really want the alliance to start crumbling already.

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 7 2016, 12:59 PM

I'm turning around on Paul as well. He's actually smart enough to not put all his eggs in the Victor basket and is finally willing to play the game.
I actually think Paul could stick around a bit longer. I really don't think the Guys will want any more Guys leaving. They will be paranoid about Girls Alliances and will want to start taking out some of the girls.
I think Bronte/Bridgette should be worried. Natalie seems to have a better place in the house, almost like Paul where she's kind of realized that she's on the outst and needs to find a way back into the main group.
I'm rooting for a Frank HOH coming up and Brigette leaving.. she's... very boring.

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 8 2016, 02:01 AM

That Episode.
I'm glad they've finally shown that the Eight Pack is completely done.
Da'vonne has flipped so much, first she wanted Tiffany out, then Frank out, now she's targetting Nicole/Corey and Zak/Paulie because of the whole Showmance thing.

Bridgette as HOH is completely LULLS. I have a feeling that if she didn't win, Frank would be in danger. His name has been thrown around a LOT. But he is safe, and pretty much HOH now. Farewell Tiffany, I suspect she will be going home.

Posted by: Liаm Jul 9 2016, 08:54 AM

Dear lord at Brigitte being HOH I literally thought as I was watching the eviction show that things were going pretty well but what if Brigitte/Bronte got HOH, and look :') I'm sorry but the whole "I'd never put up girls" thing was ridiculous and such a dumb and immature thing to say. This won't change girl alliances traditionally failing tbh


Also I definitely agree about Paul, after a VERY shaky start he's doing quite well to change things and get back on track in the best possible way. It's all very interesting now 8 Pack is really crumbling actually, I love when power shifts in this format and so much changes. I just pray that Davonne/Nicole/Zaulie are in power in some way

Eek at what's been going down win Frank on feeds :/

Posted by: J▲hq Jul 9 2016, 09:28 AM

I was very much rooting for Paul to get that HOH, one because it would secure safety for Da'vonne for the week but also because I'm becoming anti-Frank again and now he's safe for the week (and yes, would've been a proper power shift too).

This worries me, don't do anything silly Da'vonne that will get you booted out too soon. Be a fifth wheel for now if they want to work with you, we aren't low on numbers yet.

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 9 2016, 03:04 PM

Yep. I'm basically screwed for my BB Pool at work. My choices looked SOLID until last week...

Team One: Corey (Power Player), Michelle, Tiffany, James
Team Two: Frank (Power Player), Zakiyah, Paulie, Natalie

Corey is screwed unless Nicole goes out soon and he can fly under the radar. Michelle is hated by almost every girl outside of the 8-Pack, but is doing very well with the Vets. Tiffany is probably gone this week. James is doing well, but he will probably be a Mid-Jury boot. Frank will probably be gone next week. Zakiyah and Paulie could still do well and Natalie could be okay should be okay for a few weeks but likely would need to readjust.

I don't think Frank even realizes he's in danger. This Teams twist really saved his ass this week. He better win next week, or someone on his team better win.

I was too busy a few weeks ago to commit myself to TV but now I'm very much NOT. Is this worth watching? How does it compare to recent seasons?

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 10 2016, 06:05 PM

It's still very early. They had their first eviction Episode 2 and the second Episode 5 so it feels a little drawn out.
It's picked up in my estimation, the first 3-4 episodes were heavily focused on the returning players but now it seems fairly edited. Tonight's episode I have a feeling could be the best so far based on what's been happening on the live feeds.

Posted by: Harve Jul 10 2016, 07:28 PM

I think I'll go for it! I actually really enjoyed 15 and 17, even though the former was loathed, and didn't particularly get into 16. Maybe my opinion's not so in touch with everyone else~

Posted by: Liаm Jul 10 2016, 07:31 PM

This is the best series I've watched (out of 16/17/this tbf ) so far! It's really enjoyable to watch and easy to get into, I had fluctuations with 16 and 17. I find as a whole the cast is better too, while there are a few I hate there are like 5 or 6 I love so all in all it's definitely worth it. The dynamics are more interesting this time too I'd say.

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 11 2016, 01:56 AM

THE DOWNFALL OF FRANK 2.0
I think the house would be in an uproar if he won HOH or if he won the Veto next week.
Good on Da'Vonne for not losing her cool with Frank. She could have easily been up and out had she overreacted. She's kept her cool and I love the fact that she brought up her Daughter and that's not something she would want her Daughter to see.

Posted by: Riser Jul 11 2016, 02:10 AM

There's always been three episodes between evictions though!

I'd say this season has had a good start. I'm enjoying it so far, kinda glad to see another new player have power this week although Bridgitte's not exactly going to do anything exciting with it. None of the twists are terrible and actually I like all of them, hopefully they can keep the teams and having three nominees for a few more weeks. Can't believe how much trouble Frank's got himself into, it's a shame but I'm excited to see how it plays out. I agree that Da's diary room comments were wonderful.

Poor Michelle getting no screen time whatsoever.

Posted by: J▲hq Jul 11 2016, 09:18 AM

I don't see the point of the teams twist when they've already got the three noms/Roadkill twist and returning players. It feels a bit pointless when they aren't even sticking together in the teams and it's another 'been there, done that'. I guess it was just put in place initially to help the returnees out.

Glad that they're exposing Frank and hopefully he's gone next week (and doesn't return straight away..). Da'vonne is this season for me.

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 13 2016, 03:23 AM

So apparently Clay and Audrey hooked up after last year - G'WAN Audrey, get redemption for Shelli booting you out

Other news from the feed: Post veto the nominations are still Tiffany/Paul/Bronte. Michelle, Nicole and Da'Vonne want to save Tiffany. They got Corey and James on board, but Paulie said absolutely not, so now it's looking like Tiffany will be the one to go. Nicole and Corey want to target Da'Vonne next week instead of Frank.

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 14 2016, 05:44 AM

House flipped again. Michelle basically told Paulie that his vote didn't matter this week and now they're getting rid of Bronte, regardless of whether or not he's on board. So now it looks like Bronte is going home. Ironically enough as this was happening, Bridgette was in the HOH Room with Frank saying how boring things are. She's in for a rude awakening tomorrow if Tiffany stays. What a week for Big Brother evictions!

Posted by: Liаm Jul 14 2016, 07:55 AM

OH MY GOD YESSSSS!!!

Posted by: J▲hq Jul 14 2016, 08:42 AM

Are Paulie and Tiff not close due to the sibling thing then? OH WELL, outside of the DR we've seen no talk of Vanessa. Also wtf at that last part.

And I am so here for Bronte going home and on Bridgette's HOH :') Just why are you trusting Frank so much girl???

HELLO NATALIE, nice to meet you.

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 14 2016, 01:00 PM

Tiffany has been rehearsing her Vote to Save Me speech with Nicole. This is what she has so far: What I've learned over the last few weeks in this house is that dictatorships seldom work as a means of decision making in the house and in the real world. What I've noticed this week is this to be especially true when Frank is spewing out cow manure that smells worse than the gasses they excrete on a daily basis. With that said, if you want to keep me, just know I'm targeting Frank and you should be safe moving forward. dead.

Ugh why is that team so good at comps. Ah well, I was a bit wary of Frank potentially becoming the fifth evictee and having a good shot at getting right back in.

Posted by: Liаm Jul 16 2016, 12:35 PM

Tiffany and Natalie were nominated, Tiffany won roadkill and chose Corey as the third nominee. It seems that James/Da/Frank/Brigitte are all voting to evict Corey and they just need Michelle to flip now and they'll have the votes. After what happened last week though I wouldn't be so certain two days into the HOH's reign There is also the veto and Davonne is a real target if Corey, Nicole etc. win that :/


I have to say roadkill is actually making this a lot more exciting, it's not always the be all and end all that the HOH has power because look at Bronte getting evicted on Brigitte's HOH That was Brigitte being kind of dumb and not just taking Bronte off when she had the veto but still, it's interesting to have the possibility of stuff like this happening.

Posted by: Liаm Jul 17 2016, 11:56 PM

f***. Corey has won veto so bye Mama Da :/

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 18 2016, 02:34 AM

Da'Vonne won't go anywhere, Tiffany will still go this week.. Da'Vonne has like... 2 votes to evict.. Bridgette and Frank. Even if Corey/Nicole flip.. That's still just 4 votes.

Posted by: Liаm Jul 20 2016, 04:54 PM

There was a video/gif of him coming out of the Bedroom one night in just his underwear.. big bulge... SWOON.. I can't find that anywhere tho

I have not. How messy is it??

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 21 2016, 03:02 AM

Oh Da'Vonne, what happened... I thought you learnt your lesson last year girl.. come on! Get it together!
I really just wish we could fast forward a few weeks... cut the fodder of Bridgette/Frank/Tiffany because unless they come into power, they're toast.
I'm probably assuming they're gonna cut this team twist this week, rightfully so.
For the Battle Back, I'm rooting for Glenn/Jozea or Victor.. someone that was cut early that both sides would scramble for to have as a number. Having Bronte or Da'Vonne/Tiffany (whoever goes this week) return this week would be quite boring.

I'm not convinced that if Da'Vonne goes that she deserves a THIRD chance.
Same with Nicole.. This is her third chance.. and she's kind of just... there. Can you play the game please?

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 22 2016, 01:57 AM

TIFFANY TO RETURN (only so I can get a few bucks....)
I'm sad they cut the Roadkill Competition.. That was actually a good twist. If only people shut their whore mouths a little more.
NOT sad to see the Team twist come to an end.

Posted by: J▲hq Jul 22 2016, 07:21 AM

Shame about the roadkill, I thought that had a bit more life in it. For the returnee, Jozea NEVER, Glenn nah (as much as he probably would've been more interesting than Corey..), one of the more recent three. Maybe Bronte, not sure I want Tiffany going straight back in especially if she has Da'vonne in her line of fire.

Posted by: Liаm Jul 22 2016, 08:48 AM

I'm glad for Da'vonne to stay for entertainment purposes but she's making pretty much the same mistakes as last time, playing a bit too emotionally and getting too fired up. Tiffany did her best really to try and stay in but would be much more of a threat if you look as Vanessa. I normally wouldn't compare but their game is coming across similar and I can see why you'd oust Tiffany over Da'vonne. Tiff is the only one I'd particularly want back from the first 5 though to be honest, Bronte is a no, Victor would be ok I suppose as would Glenn, and Jozea is also a no.

I agree abut Nicole, Aaron! I know you were never really a fan but I'm seeing it this time around. In BB16 Nicole was one of the few who actually bothered to try and do anything, she was my favourite, but this time she's just doing nothing at all :/ I mean yeah she had the first HOH but since Corey she's done literally nothing is just letting her alliance with Paulie etc carry her... She's need to start using her brain instead of her vagina ffs.

Very glad the team twist is over anyway, I assume Frank and Bridgitte won't be lasting long then, Frank is so lucky to be on Paulie and Brigitte's team as the former has won two HOHs and during the latter he was basically HOH himself I liked Roadkill though, it added a bit more unpredictability to things like with Bronte being put up and evicted on Bridgitte's HOH reign. But I'll have it gone if it means no more teams *Frank or Bridgitte win HOH anyway*

Posted by: J▲hq Jul 22 2016, 09:00 AM

Corey is making me dislike Nicole. He's so boring and I don't get why she's crying over him? Babe he ain't no Hayden

Posted by: Froot. Jul 22 2016, 11:27 AM

I'm loving this series so far! It might be because every eviction has gone the way I wanted it to go but there's been a few interesting differences in dynamics. Thank GOD the team twist is over though.

I wish that Da'Vonne wouldn't play such a scattered game where her target changes on a day-to-day basis or even if she would just keep quiet about her target changing daily! Her vengeance against Vanessa has just worked against her as it means she can't trust Tiffany when she could have gone further than she will probably go if she had trusted her. If Tiffany tells you in secret that she's won the Roadkill, don't start crying when Corey wins veto!! She was never going to win but at the start of this series, I thought she had a chance to go far but now it's going to be nervous watching each week.

However, I hope people start targeting the duos now, there's 11 people left (although 12 after tonight) and 8 of them are in a duo/showmance! I'd personally like to see James, Nicole, Corey & Bridgette going soon as they're not doing anything and I don't think there's any potential there for them to play the game well. James & Nicole have just done the exact same game as their previous seasons. James just does pranks and uses it as a dating show. As everyone has said, I'm so disappointed in Nicole because I thought she was totally screwed over in her season because of the solid guy alliance that lasted all the way through. I thought she had loads of potential to be a great player if she was put in another season but the fact that she's just gone back into a showmance shows that the belief in her is just misplaced.

I don't really want any of the evictees to return! I would've liked Tiffany maybe but she'll just target Da'Vonne and ruin Da's game even more. Plus she's just a much weaker version of Vanessa, she lacks the competition beast and the manipulation so there's not much left. Maybe I'd like GLENN to win (despite there being zero chance of that happening) as he'd basically be a new housemate.

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 22 2016, 01:27 PM

For me, Corey > Hayden anyday. I'm just not a fan of the Stoner/Surfer look or personality.
There's an aura of innocence with Corey I'm attracted to.
On one of the other forums I casually read there is a thread dedicated to all of Corey's homoerotic tendencies. And there's a lot. My favorite is a clip from the feeds where it's Corey/Nicole/Paulie/Zak in bed all cuddled up.. Nicole is sandwiched between Corey and Paulie.. but Corey is sitting there playing with Paulie's hair. SWOON.
I'd turn Corey into the biggest bottom ever and I think he'd enjoy every second of it
k. I need some Corey/Paulie/Victor slash fantasy fanfic like yesterday.

Posted by: Liаm Jul 22 2016, 07:13 PM

Corey is about 99999999999999999999999999999x hotter than Hayden. Hayden looks like he needs rehab and like he'd smell like he pissed himself. There's just something so ridiculously hot about Corey, but he is bloody boring He just seems really vapid, always staring into space "I mean..."

I saw on Twitter that Paul made a joke because Corey had watched Frank shower twice in a couple of days, there was a screenshot on feeds, and he was just sat there looking very content As anyone would be tbh.

Posted by: Devan Jul 22 2016, 08:05 PM

Posted by: JosephStyles Jul 22 2016, 10:24 PM

I'd be basically content with anyone but Tiffany or Jozea going back in. Anything to keep Da' safe a bit longer! Glad the teams twist is over, what a waste of effort that was. Da'Vonne is by far and away my favourite but I agree with the comments about her making the same mistakes she needs to LEARN from them and put her emotions to one side, she did this so well a week or two ago when Frank was touching her inappropriately etc, why can't she do it now I WANT to like Nicole and I did a lot in BB16, she was fantastic, but she's just sitting back right now and I'm struggling to care for Corey. Paulie is probably playing the best game right now, he seems to be on good terms with pretty much everyone and I'm not sure if anyone would really be out to target him if they got into power?

Posted by: JosephStyles Jul 23 2016, 01:43 PM

So Victor won the Battle Back! Pretty content with that, was just hoping it wouldn't be Jozea or Tiffany

Spoilers for this week (I don't normally look at these but stumbled on them accidentally, damn you Twitter): James won HOH, and put up Frank and Bridgette! YAASSSSSSS

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 23 2016, 05:38 PM

Another Twist (that's not the Secret Room twist): I can't seem to find this quickly on Jeff or Julie's twitter, but Julie Chen was on the Side Show... or whatever Jeff hosts. There's another twist coming that involves the Public being able to vote or do something very strategic. I'll be honest I was half cut when I saw this last night. It was on Twitter and a video clip of what Jeff and Julie were talking about. I'm pretty sure with some effort I could find some details... but meh.

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 23 2016, 05:47 PM

I can't say I'm too upset or surprized that Victor returned. I was rooting for Tiffany for selfish reasons. I really just don't think Victor is a good game player, he's going to need to rely on someone picking him up as an expendable number to go far I think.
Come a Double Eviction where they just need to get rid of expendable people, he will go.

Regarding the HOH/Noms: BOUT TIME JAMES DID SOMETHING. The nominations of Frank/Bridgette are predictable, but I'm surprised James would go after Frank. I really don't think Frank would have gone after James anytime soon. I'm also surprised that Frank is up pre-veto and they didn't try and backdoor him.

Posted by: Liаm Jul 24 2016, 12:09 AM

For me it was a case of "please not Jozea or Bronte" so once it was the last one of Victor vs. Tiffany I was happy I would've preferred Tiffany and out of all of them I expected her, but Victor isn't too bad an outcome. It's not like he's REALLY awful or he'l last too long anyway.

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 24 2016, 07:09 AM

Michelle won the POV. Bridgette really seems to be onto the Secret Room twist (I'm not sure if they have been told?) Apparently the secret room is a French room; people are speculating it could be the Coup D'etat. Which would be amazing this week as it would save both Frank and Bridgette.

I forgot about the Secret Room twist. I was about to celebrate Da'Vonne being on lock for jury which is what my personal aim for her was at the start of the series. I'm sure the producers will be heavily hinting to Frank about where it is if results in him surviving. :')

Lol at James doing the exact same thing as last season at the exact same stage: winning an endurance HOH on the eviction just before jury, putting up the 'target' duo after promising the girl that he wouldn't put them up. :')

So close to seeing what a Da'Vonne HOH would be like though, although I suppose it would make the target on her back even bigger. Yass at her controlling herself again though when Nicole was exposed. That's twice now that Nicole has spoken to Frank regarding Da'Vonne and twice she's been exposed yet she still tries to cover it up in such a bad way. Hopefully people start to target her/Corey now.

"Secret Room" Spoiler.
Dialing a certain number on the phone will give housemates access to a room with 12 envelopes (you can only claim one) so far, housemates have recieved, in order:

Paul: Roundtrip Eviction Ticket - If evicted, they could go back into the game.
Victor: UNKNOWN
Corey: UNKNOWN
*feeds down*
Last - Michelle: UNKNOWN

We're rumoured to get a second season this year: http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/2016/07/big-brother-19-fall/

I love Big Brother, but two seasons back to back is a little much. The only way I could see this working is if it was maybe a 2 Month All-Stars with a reduced cast.

Posted by: HarryEzra Jul 26 2016, 02:43 PM

That would be a bit much, so I hope not

Posted by: Tyler Jul 26 2016, 04:35 PM

FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH THIS. Y'all probably wouldn't have guessed because of my inactivity this year, but this is the only show I even watch all year.

Mama Da is my favorite. Nicole is really getting on my nerves this season and I LOVED her on her original season. This season has been the best US season in YEARS though! I'm thoroughly impressed!

Posted by: Liаm Jul 26 2016, 05:00 PM

Isn't the last non-summer series that one that was rushed because of a writer's strike and is seen as one of the worst ever? I thin it would be ok if they did it in like January after a couple of months break but straight after is a bit much. I guess it could be ok if it was well planned and is a good series but at least have a couple of months break or have it a bit shorter.

Posted by: J▲hq Jul 26 2016, 06:16 PM

^ BB9 is the first season I saw and I enjoyed it, aside from an awful winner.

Is that source reliable? I can't see it happening but I love BB more than anything so I wouldn't say no and the ratings are very good, the Friday ep showed the strength and how loyal the fans are.

Should really mute BB people during on season as Arisa spoiled the secret room on twitter. Ugh, this is why Julie > you.

And as happy as I am with Frank and Bridgette being up, I do feel sorry for the latter given how long she stayed up and wish James hadn't played that trick again.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Jul 26 2016, 10:34 PM

I am LIVING for this season. LIVING, HUNTIES!!!

The first evictions, bar Glenn's of course, were tv gold. Incredible set of housemates.

So annoyed frank has been save for so long (I'm up to bronte eviction and paulie winning hoh). Ugh. Get him out. How the f*** was he Americas favorite player? What?! Gurl bye

Tiffanys speech was damn incredible. Davonne is slaying this season so far. I love Nicole too but there's no surprise there. Poor her though with Corey being gay and all haha. Natalie is playing rather smart and loyal too, which surprised me. Bridgette though. Oh my GOD she's so stupid.

LOVE THIS SEASON. Please let the girls stay in the fatal four alliance until the end and well crown mama da the winner and be done. Bye

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Jul 27 2016, 09:29 PM

Victor coming back is the best case scenario even though I was impressed by Tiffany and her gameplay in the last few days. Victor is not really a competition so who even cares.

Living for James Clelli'ing Fridgette. Ha. Let's hope Natalie will be fine with him because they are so cute together haha

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 28 2016, 01:25 PM

QUEN MICHELLE'S BREAK OUT EPISODE <3333
"I don't like you because I'm jealous".
She's giving me so much lyfe. I hope she can flip the house and send Bridgette home and save Frank.
FRANK AND MICHELLE FOR F2. (not that this would ever happen)

Posted by: J▲hq Jul 28 2016, 02:10 PM

Nah, Frank needs to go as much as I'm disliking Bridgette. Stop your f***ing crying in the DR, I have no sympathy, your BEST FRIEND was evicted on YOUR HOH, and because Frank put her up there. Such an idiot.

Yasss at the Michelle screentime though (and I have had such a turnaround on Paul)

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Jul 28 2016, 07:29 PM

Indeed. Bronte was a road kill, OKAY, FINE. but then you win PoV and don't f***ing use it. What an idiot.

I wonder if she can maybe do a Paul if something big happens next week and shifts the target to someone more... worthwhile. Or if she wins HoH it could be fun to watch

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Jul 28 2016, 07:30 PM

If someone other than Paul wins Americas favorite player, I will be very shocked. And to think how absolutely TERRIBLE he was at the beginning. THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP. I really see him returning next year or the following if he leaves soon.

Posted by: Liаm Jul 28 2016, 07:39 PM

Omg I hate Brigitte, what a wet blanket :/

Posted by: Liаm Jul 29 2016, 12:11 AM

I'm caught up and Michelle is my fave tbh. QUEEN

Posted by: J▲hq Jul 29 2016, 09:46 AM

Liking these twists. The spoiler I read from Arisa was about Paul finding the secret room so yay for it being something bigger than just that. I hope Victor holds the round trip ticket :')

Can we give the 'Never Not' pass to Bridgette, just to ensure she can't receive any of the following care packages which are much more significant to the game. Looked them up and Da'vonne can have one of the next three.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Jul 29 2016, 11:50 AM

Ahhhh I completely forgot the episode was yday and read that. Ahhhhhhh

Posted by: Liаm Jul 29 2016, 12:15 PM

New HOH is Paul and it looks like he wants to target Bridgitte because he doesn't trust her.

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 29 2016, 01:30 PM

I'm not as confident in Paul winning America's Player.
I've done a turn around on him absolutely, but he would be competing with the likes of Nicole, Da'Vonne, James and Paulie (likely a few of those names won't reach the F3) so it will be tight.
He's so much hotter without the beard.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Jul 30 2016, 09:48 AM

Omg Hayden is so much better without that horrible hair

Paul is so hot indeed. And those tats

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Jul 30 2016, 10:00 AM

Can you imagine Victor being evicted before August 18 and getting back. AMAZING.

Posted by: Liаm Jul 30 2016, 11:58 AM

omg Paul sans bushy beard *.*

I don't thinl he'll be America's Favourite either, I can see it being James again if he doesn't reach top 3

Posted by: Aaron. Jul 30 2016, 10:13 PM

Nominations/Veto/Possible Re-Nom Spoiler: Paul nominated Brdigette and Paulie (Pawn), Paulie won POV and is expected to use it on himself and Da'Vonne is to be the replacement nominee and go home. Apparently James/Natalie/Zakiyah are on the oust of the house. Zakiyah and Paulie had some sort of fight.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 1 2016, 05:17 AM

So pretty much everyone knows that Da'Vonne is going to be the replacement nominee. Z and Michelle were talking to Nicole about how it's a bad idea to send Da' home over Bridgette. Michelle was especially vocal because, well, she hates Bridgette. Nicole immediately went to tell Paul/Paulie.
Nicole is such a snake. She's so hell bent on being the last girl in the house. It's kind of sad. She's pretty much just handing the boys the game at this point.
Paul/Paulie did end up confronting Z and Michelle. Paul played stupid pretending Da' wasn't the target. The girls asked why Victor wasn't going up as a pawn against Bridgette and Paul just kind of skirted around the answer.
I just wish Z/Mich/Natalie would win a competition and send Paul/Vic/Paulie or Corey home.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 2 2016, 05:08 PM

Turns out the Fall Big Brother rumour was true! Season 19 will air just after this season ends and will last 10 weeks. It will be an Online Only Season airing on CBS All Access.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 4 2016, 01:01 AM

YISSSSSSS

Posted by: J▲hq Aug 4 2016, 03:45 PM

Lmao I saw that last night and the producers better be fixing it to happen somehow. She'll be gone before we can send her a useful care package

Ugh. Bridgette is awful, I'm hating Paulie now, Nicole and Corey are s***, Natalie is sweet but not exactly a game player. Rooting for Z and Michelle but they aren't at the forefront of episodes either.

Hyped for BB 19 and to see what difference it makes being online, both in terms of comps (like, how CBS budget it) and whether houseguests will be any less obnoxious with it not going out on TV, or whether it makes a difference to how they play.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 4 2016, 03:54 PM

There is some speculation that Da' does have a return ticket based on another clue given and which envelope she picked up. I could also see if they were going to rig it (somehow) that they would want to save Da'

I hate everyone at this point. Paul/Paulie are insufferable. I've never liked Nicole. Bridgette is just so fake. Corey is just too much of an air head. Da' is not playing smart at all. I guess I'm pulling for James/Natalie at this point. I don't think there's a hope in hell that Z would ever win a comp...

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 4 2016, 06:48 PM

Hate Paulie. It's literally a showmance between him and Z. For him it's just for show. He even said it. What a dick. What a f***ing dick.

Paul doesn't really have a backbone although he's playing every smart.

Voting Da off is very good for the house so I believe it will happen. Sadly.

Get Corey out ffs. Is he even there? Same with Z and victor. At least Michelle wins something and provides one of the best moments of the entire series. AM I AN UGLY CRIER. Amazing.

Nicole needs to step it up as well if she doesn't want Paulie to win which REALLY looks like it's going to happen. Sadly. They need to realize he has the game in his hands unless they do something about it. And all Paulie talks about is getting people out because they looked at them wrong or dared to expres some kind of emotion. His poor future spouse.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 4 2016, 08:48 PM

Michelle >>>>>>

From an entertainment point I love Da'Vonne but tbh I don't particularly care if she goes at this point. She's not playing that well at all but I guess liking her as a person is better than most of the house. I agree about Paulie, he's scorching hot at least but he's getting far too cocky because he knows that, as with this week, he can just win any comp pretty much if he needs to, so they can just have him as a pawn if he isn't HOH and they can easily backdoor. It's that point in the show where is goes stale because they've been in power for ages but Michelle, Zakiyah, Natalie and James are the only ones worth rooting for and it's not like Z/Nat will ever win anything, they're like two Victorias, and Michelle and James will probably be picked off soon. The irony that in BB16 I was rooting for Nicole so much and now that she actually has a chance it's when she's been awful...

Posted by: Liаm Aug 5 2016, 02:41 AM

I'm not *too* mad at Da' going in theory, I mean like I said she wasn't really playing a particularly great game so it wasn't a shock at all. But she was actually likeable and great to watch which is more than I can say for most of them.... She was probably my favourite except Michelle but from a game point of view it was coming and I'm not overly mad at it.

Bridgette - I'm sure she is a lovely person but I find her so fake and whiny.
Corey - hot af (like possibly the hottest guy I've ever seen on any BB except Dale Howard) but no.
James - Still never really been a fave.... I like him more than most of the others but eh.
Michelle - problematic fave *.* Probably a goner v soon unless she wins HOH.
Natalie - lovely but just being nice doesn't get you far. She's just the showmance version of Victoria. She seems like a BBUK 5th placed finalist who people generally like, rather than a BBUS player
Nicole - USE YOUR BRAIN NOT YOUR VAGINA FFS. It's honestly just the most frustrating thing that I supported her so much in BB16 because she was one of the only girls trying to do anything and this season she's getting a good finish handed to her on a plate when she's being awful.
Paul - funny at times but I'm so over him and Paulie's bromance shit.
Paulie - 10/10 wreck me daddi with his beard, 2/10 leave me alone you douchebag f***boi without it, a true case for the wonder of facial hair on men. Aside from his looks, cocky af now he knows he controls this whole thing.
Victor - understandably playing it a bit safe as he knows how it is to be evicted. I kinda want him to go in the double, have the round trip and go again for the lolz.
Zakiyah - I'd say she's a gleaming hope for us BUT she's tied to Paulie. Tbh I want something crazy to happen like she gets HOH, blows up with Paulie and he gets backdoored or sth I'd really respect her if she won HOH and made a huge move but she'll most likely just do Paulie's bidding 100% like Bridgette did when she was HOH with Frank leading her.



HOH as of writing this is between Natalie, Zakiyah, Victor and Paulie.


As for BB19 I hope one of the differences is the casting Maybe I'm just disillusioned because we're in that awful halfway point where it's all going stale with the same people controlling the game but I want strong female players (Vanessa is the closest really), and a jocky hot guy who isn't a douche wouldn't go amiss - we just seem to get the same stereotypes. It feels like they cast on looks a lot this season in particular (Natalie and Corey for sure) rather than personality or being a strong player.

EDIT: HOH spoiler -
Vic won in the end. It came to him and Natalie, Zakiyah made some deal with Paulie as far as I could make out from Twitter, and then he got off STRAIGHT AWAY :/ I was really rooting for Natalie as I'd be interested to see what she'd do. I know it would basically be James' HOH probably but still.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 5 2016, 12:48 PM

Regarding the HOH Spoiler: The only hope was for James/Z/MEECH or Natalie to win to save this series. Victor will likely go back on his word and put a combination of the ones I wanted to win up. I have a feeling Michelle could be going this week. Ugh.

Posted by: J▲hq Aug 5 2016, 03:56 PM

^ The woman who deals with the casting for this and BB Can tweeted that she's not involved in BB 19 so I'm intrigued to see if we notice a difference.

Bring on BB 19 now anyway. Ugh. Let's switch and have the episodes focus on the jury house. If I look on the bright side, I'm thrilled that Da'vonne made it this far compared to last season, but one of these care packages will have to go to someone I don't particularly like now because of a shortage of good people.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 5 2016, 10:59 PM

KASS *.*
She is a god, she tried to get my friend on the last season of the Bachelor Canada (as a Bachelorette).
She is very good at what she does, however this season is a let down. You have to think tho; 4 Vets + 2 Family Members in which she had no hand in casting. Michelle and Bridgette were the only people that applied, Kass found everyone else on her own.
She seems to do a lot better with the Female casting in Canada over the US.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 8 2016, 01:16 AM

I just can't root for the underdog anymore. I refuse to get behind Zakiyah and Michelle.
Zakiyah has had too many chances to erupt out of the shadows and become a favorite and everytime she fails without hesitation.
Michelle is even worse. Acting like a spoilt brat once she found out she was on the ousts. These girls don't know how to play Big Brother. They don't deserve the level of support they're getting.

Paulie has played great so far. He was on the out Week 1 + 2 when the 8 Person Alliance formed.. he was HOH that week!! He should have been included.
The way he's rebounded, pulling in Paul, Bridgette and Victor is awesome. He's done it in a way where Bridgette and Victor are loyal to him, but he doesn't need to be loyal to them.
Not to mention for him this is the right time to boot out Zakiyah as well.

Posted by: HarryEzra Aug 8 2016, 01:20 AM

God I cant stand Paulie and this whole game like its basically series 16 getting all the girls out first so men can dominate

Posted by: JosephStyles Aug 8 2016, 01:21 AM

They are all quite literally handing Victor the game

Posted by: Liаm Aug 8 2016, 01:45 AM

I love Michelle because I find her unintentionally hilarious but from a game point of view I agree. Neither have really done anything, I know Michelle won that veto over Fridgette which left them both on the block and got Frank out but it's not like she could really have made a big move and used it because that would have sealed her fate as she would have been going against the entire house who wanted Frank gone. As for Zakiyah, this week's HOH comp was the only time I've seen her try and she f***ed it up for Paulie... I was willing her to get it and step up and at leasttry and save this series, especially since her and Paulie were on the rocks, but nope. She was so steeled to succeed in that I really felt like she could have done it, and if she did she could have easily proven herself and gone for Paulie or at least his minions. I mean Paulie probably still would have won veto and f***ed it all up, but at least in that situation she would have tried.

Sadly in recent years it seems that ttoo many of the likeable or entertaining ones (Jocasta, Da'Vonne, Victoria, Audrey, Jackie, Zakiyah, Michelle) just can't or haven't played the game well enough, whereas some really good players (Paulie, Derrick and Clelli for example) are really hard to like or take to that much, for me. I just wish we could have someone as likeable as Da'Vonne or Victoria for example who could play the game as well as the likes of Paulie. I guess the closest we got was Vanessa maybe, she was a phenomenal player really but was a bit of a mess as a person in places It's just really predictable once the set of unlikeable people end up controlling the game and whittling down the ones who are actually watchable one by one...

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 8 2016, 01:51 AM

WAT
How quickly we forget that Glenn, Josea and Victor were the first three out. Frank quickly followed.
I will admit there is an imbalance if you look at the strength of the Men over the Woman.. but I'm not believing for a second that this "Executive" alliance is real. If Paulie wins the Double Eviction HOH I wouldn't be shocked if he went after James, Victor or Corey.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 8 2016, 01:53 AM

I love Michelle. Such a mess. But I can't root for her anymore. She's not very good at this game.
Her veto win was a bit of a crapshoot too. Mostly luck. Little skill. We need more of that to make this season exciting.

Posted by: HarryEzra Aug 8 2016, 02:07 AM

I have not forgotten about that but now with someone like Viktor it is a bit annoying that really in theory he should go after Paulie it was his fault he went home but he is happy to be blind and go for the two girls who really are Paul/Paulie's targets not his own

Posted by: J▲hq Aug 8 2016, 10:35 AM

Worst nomination ceremony ever.

I hate male dominated alliances like this but if Paul can be the last one standing, that would salvage the season a bit. I still find him funny and am on the 'friendship' train for now.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 8 2016, 08:29 PM

Of course they aren't going to be the final five haha. Would Paul or paulie want to be top 3 with him and potentially risk losing the final HoH and going home? Of course not. They would rather keep someone useless like Victoria until the end to ensure they both go home with something.

Paulie is however playing a bit too aggressive and unapologetic. I fear it could cost him the jury if he's top two with someone like Paul for example.

Get Corey out already. He's useless.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 8 2016, 08:31 PM

And I cannot at how stupid victor is. Emotional players are so much better than stupid players.

Posted by: J▲hq Aug 8 2016, 08:44 PM

I would love Paulie to come 2nd and miss the win like his brother but I think his game is too strong and can't see him missing out should he be final 2 (sadly)

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 8 2016, 08:57 PM

I hope Paul is smart enough to lose this one come top 5 and he's all set. Can't believe he was initially so close to being a target but turned it all around

Posted by: Tyler Aug 9 2016, 08:40 AM

VICTOR NEEDS TO GO. What a twat.

His speech at the veto ceremony was rude as f*** and who the f*** does he think he is throwing beads at people like its f***ing Mardi Gras. Paulie is getting on my nerves as well, but, not bearly as bad as Victor.

I actually have grown to like Paul. But I want Davonne back, she made the game so much more fun to watch.

ALSO, AGREED ON COREY, PAV. Does anyone else hate how he casts his votes? Lmao he looks like a jock bot that gets overheated after casting.

I....vote.... To evict......

..... Davonne. -blank stare abruptly followed by a dumb ass smile. Him and Nicole can both go, she's so boring this season.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 9 2016, 09:21 AM

Nicole is disappointing me so much this season. She's so boring this time

Posted by: Liаm Aug 9 2016, 12:17 PM

I saw something on one of those update accounts from Nicole that really made me laugh, I can't remember the exact comment, but it was something like "the useless ones always get things handed to them in this game", or words to that effect Babe that is EXACTLY the easy ride you're getting rn. In season 16 she was one of the very few females who was actually doing anything but this time around apart from winning that first HOH (and really there was already an easy target in Jozea so looking back it's not like she really had to do that much). But yet again she's using her vagina more than her brain, but far worse than with Hayden. She's just settled in thinking she's set being in the "right" group and let Paulie do everything and it's really disappointing as she was pretty much the only reason I was watching BB16 at certain points.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 9 2016, 04:10 PM

I think that's the exact reason why Nicole is useless this time. She was very strong in her season and playing too aggressive might have been a bad idea. But she's playing it too safe this time.

Posted by: Tyler Aug 9 2016, 06:02 PM

Agreed. I mean, I guess it is smart for her to lay low right now. Everyone is searching for an easy target to avoid blood on their hands for the most part.

If she were smart she would start aligning herself more with Natalie, James, (AND I GUESS) Corey. Make a final 4 deal, they are the only couples left in the house. Pauline and Paul will send them packing right after Zakiyah and Michelle go out, unless they realize VICTOR is more of a threat to their game than anything. He's a strong competitor, but his social game is about as talented as Kim Kardashian and her attempt at a music career.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 10 2016, 02:03 PM

OMMGGGG The house is on to Paulie!! Current plan is to split the votes (3-2) and Paulie is the target next week, even Paul is on board.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 10 2016, 02:45 PM

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. My only fear is if he's HoH or wins the veto in which case they are f***ed this week.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 10 2016, 03:25 PM

!!!!!!

Watch as he wins HOH AND veto again

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 11 2016, 03:25 AM

Apparently Zakiyah, but this will be a surprize to Nic/Corey/Paulie. The plan is for James/Natalie or Michelle to win HOH, nominate Corey/Nicole and backdoor Paulie.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 11 2016, 03:58 AM

The thought of Michelle being HOH omgggg *.*

Posted by: Liаm Aug 12 2016, 01:28 AM

FOR f*** SAKE

HOW did gormless Corey ONLY NOW manage to win something when we needed anyone but him/Nicole/Paulie Even when he won he just looked gormless as if he had no idea what he'd done.

If Friday is a jury buyback as rumoured I'm gonna be wanting Bridgette. Never thought I'd say that but after what she's done I think shes the best chance.

Ugh. When does BB19 start xxxx

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 12 2016, 02:03 AM

ABSOLUTELY DEAD.
What. The. Hell.
Bridgette over Michelle? They must be stupid. That was a SHOCK to me.
I'm happy. Would have been happier if they had looped in Corey and Nicole to getting out Paulie. He could have been toast this Double Eviction... he wasn't even picked for the Veto. This was their shot.

Posted by: JosephStyles Aug 12 2016, 02:06 AM

Corey needs to grow some BALLS. Bridgette being evicted is a totally wasted move when he had the chance to get rid of Paulie. Literally the perfect shot. Oh well, at least Michelle is still there

Posted by: Liаm Aug 12 2016, 02:25 AM

Idk if Corey was even in on the plan but Nicole seemed to know that Zakiyah was going home (and if she did, Corey did!) so my thinking is that they got wind of it and because Bridgette was more of a major player in it they ousted her. But that doesn't explain why those who formulated the plan against Paulie went for Bridgette to go... I love Michelle and am glad she stayed but it didn't make sense. In her emotions I think she will actually be firey enough to target Paulie but Bridgette seemed to have the brains with a clearer head than Michelle. She'd be a better asset to their side although I guess the injury doesn't help with physical comps

I mean I guess Corey was being loyal to his alliance but if he knew about that plan against Paulie, surely a smarter move was to go with the rest of the house? If Paulie goes next he'll just be the next target, if he'd got Paulie out he could have won some trust and at least be remembered for something, rather than riding Paulie's coattails the entire series. I'm needing one of Natalie, James or Michelle to get HOH and target Paulie. This will be the make or break week for me, if it's just played into Paulie's hands again and we lose one of those three I don't think I can go on at all. I'm barely hanging as it is


Rn on feeds
Paulie is threatening violence on Michelle, he said to Paul that his brothers will "literally" tear her apart and his cousins and sister will beat her up... :/

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 12 2016, 03:15 AM

They'll sweep that under the rugs just as quickly as Frankie threatened to have Victoria raped.
James told Corey and Nicole about Z going home about an hour before the eviction apparently.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 12 2016, 05:58 AM

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH what the f***. so frustrating.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 12 2016, 06:01 AM

VICTOR is HoH AGAIN. As if we didn't get a full week of that unbearable twat already. I am done with the series. They might as well just give it to Paulie now. Because Victor is no way going to nominate nobody other than Natalie and Michelle. Femicide here we go again!

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 12 2016, 06:24 AM

Although i'm reading shit and it seems there were talks between Vic and Paul about putting Paulie and Corey up directly. If one goes up the other one goes home. I hope Vic is not stupid... Oh wait who am I kidding.

Paulie is really the worst male HM we had since... idk nobody. The way he talked about women ("women are dumpsters for male bodily fluids") is disgusting. They even shut down the live feeds for a few minutes to avoid anyone seeing this. He's disgusting. Absolutely vile. I'm hoping Cody won't endorse him or his game after he's evicted. Too bad the producers will make him to be a saint and do another Frankie-esque staged eviction. f*** you money-obsessed f***s.

Posted by: J▲hq Aug 12 2016, 08:51 AM

Thought Corey winning the comps would make this DE really disappointing but Michelle staying over Bridgette saved it a bit.

*saved in eviction vote*

*bursts into tears*

Oh Michelle :')

She needs this care package please.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 12 2016, 10:21 AM

I dunno, this plan to put up Corey/Paulie looks pretty solid. It's of course all Paul's doing.. but he's brainwashed Victor pretty good into doing his bidding.
I haven't been paying much attention to what happened tonight, but if Paulie saying that is true, that's pretty gross.
I can only really speak to the way he treated Z over the last 2 weeks, which, wasn't as disgusting but also wasn't any better. The problem I have is people had the opportunity to speak up for Z - mainly Nicole and instead Nicole made the situation worse by reporting back to Paulie on what Z was telling her in confidence (and none of it had to do with the game, it had to do with the Paulie/Z relationship). Z on the other hand really never learned her lesson. She was put through the ringer with Paulie and ended up going back to him at the end of the day.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 12 2016, 10:33 AM

I really don't see any other option here. Michelle has to receive that care package.
I just want to see Paulie sweat it out this week. His game is done at this point. I really don't see him getting to the end unless He/Nicole/Corey steamroll it to the end.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 12 2016, 10:48 AM

i just LOVE Paul. when he was on the sinking Jozea/Victor ship he managed to avoid the boot and got on everyone's good side and aligned himself with the king of the house (#PP). when that ship started to sink, as we saw this week, he quickly jumped over to the other side. i love his game strategy so much. i wouldn't mind him winning.

at this point i'm only rooting for james, natalie and paul. michelle is a bit too naive and emotional to go to the end so i'm not really even considering that she'll stay for long. natalie is becoming much more present these days and i would love to see her win one of the next HoHs and get rid of someone. as much as she's aligned with james, i don't think she'll blindly follow what he says like bridgette did, for example.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 12 2016, 01:58 PM

Paul is the star this season. I'm rooting for him for SURE. This brilliant gameplay coming from someone who didn't even know what a Veto was week one is amazing to see.
I never really got the James appeal, last season he was the underdog.. sure.. but he up until this week started playing a similar game... Safe... Under the radar... going with the house*. But with this vote flip to f*** over Paulie I'm getting on board.

* I understand he got out Clay and Frank. But. They weren't really his moves. He just felt the pressure from the majority of the house to do what was wanted.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 12 2016, 02:49 PM

I was actually convinced James wouldn't f*** over paulie and evict Michelle. However, this was good to see he decided to play this game. He is actually my 3rd choice to win because of the lack of spine. I'm sure he can do big moves if he wants but he's playing way too safe.

Posted by: Froot. Aug 12 2016, 03:02 PM

James is such a dull gameplayer, I still have no idea why he was picked as one of the returnees. He'll only be on board to do something if he's 110% certain that it's what the majority of the house wants. If he's not got that guarantee, he's much more happier to just sit back and follow whatever the house is doing. Like with what happened with flipping the vote to evict Z, he wasn't even contemplating blocking votes to save Michelle until he realised he could guarantee that Michelle would be saved. Yes, it's smart not to make enemies, but you do have to fight for your place in the house and make tactical decisions and try to gather up a house flip. I'm just so bored of hearing 'is that what the house wants' before he makes a decision whenever anyone comes to him with a plan.

omg at Michelle surviving the DE though, really don't understand that! I guess we can say goodbye to a female winner. I think Paul is currently the only one with a solid chance though which I never thought would be the case after the first couple of weeks!!

It is annoying that competitions play such a big role in the game, obviously I understand WHY but because so many of them have to be physical, they often benefit the 'jock' housemates which results in a vagicide. Da'Vonne is often very clever about who needs to leave but, aside from the other problem of vocalising to people everytime she has a new target, the fact that she can't win a comp means she can't take charge to get these people out and so she has to rely on everyone else which feeds into her other problem.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 12 2016, 06:52 PM

Care Package Winner: Nicole won...... ugh. So she is safe for the week. I guess it's not THAT bad. At least it wasn't Paulie and it avoids Victor putting up Paulie/Nicole so now at least some strong housemates will play in the Veto. Next weeks care package is Co-HOH where the winner gets to nominate 1 of the 2. Hopefully Michelle can win that one.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 12 2016, 07:38 PM

See I've never fully taken to James for the above reasons. He's all bark and no bite, it's kind of by chance that he made two huge moves in getting Clay and Frank out in the last two seasons. He kind of fell into it and at that point most of the house would have done the same, everyone wanted Frank out certainly. He only did those things because, as Froot said, he was secure in the knowledge that it was the house majority. And he's only going to go along with the Paulie flip because he knows that eevryone else wants it. I know that you do need to be careful and make sure you have the numbers but he's kind of still playing like its the early days and he can't be to decisive or make too big a move without total approval. I mean look at Natalie, she blew up Paulie's game by telling Zakiyah all that and she didn't have to go round getting the ok from everyone It bothered me last season and it bothers me now. I mean he's better than Paulie, Nicole and Corey but he's less likeable and rootable than Paul, Natalie or even Michelle.

As for the HOH
Initially I groaned but it seems like Victor but as he seems to be up for targetting Paulie, or at least Corey if Paulie wins veto and pulls himself off. He seemed to initially want to target the Michelle and Natalie but luckily Paul reminded him it was Paulie who evicted him the first time It's a shame Nicole got the care package but I expected him, she seems to be unexpectedly high in so many polls. I think Michelle is more of a stan fave than a casual viewer's fave.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 12 2016, 11:37 PM

Ugh: So basically, Natalie said to James that it's clear America isn't on their side after the flip last week since Nicole won the Care Package. James agreed so they've pulled in Paul/Paulie and came clean and agreed to get Michelle out this week. Paul said he can convince Victor to nominate Paulie/Michelle or Corey/Michelle and not use the veto or just put up Corey/Paulie and use the veto and vote out Michelle. THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.
I can see why Nicole won the Care Package. Everyone apparently was voting Bridgette and split the votes between Z/Michelle.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 13 2016, 12:23 AM

Oh for f***s sake. I think I might be done with this season if another female goes and Paulie is still in it. How fun will it be to see 5 guys there as the final five. I won't even care. The f*** is with vagicide every year?!

And why the HELL would any one of them care what America thinks?!?! Are they so obsessed with themselves?! They are making it look like it was a runaway Paulie win. Nicole already has many fans so it's not at all surprising. I take it back, Natalie is dumb. Why the hell would they risk having Paulie there. STILL THERE. WHAT THE f***. MICHELLE IS FIRMLY ON THEIR SIDE AND PAULIE IS NOT. When they get evicted, it will be their own fault and I won't care. f*** this season. I am soooooo close to being done with it. And it started sooooo good. Ugh ugh ughhhhhhhhhhh

Posted by: Liаm Aug 13 2016, 03:18 AM

Victor did nominate Paulie and Corey! Looks like they're trying to backdoor Michelle. f***ING f***ITY f***, why are they so dumb. None of them deserve to win. Theyve taken a number out of their side and are giving Paulie the advantage so he will win.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 13 2016, 04:00 AM

Michelle better win that POV and keep the nominations the same. Ugh, any other scenario I see the veto being used and her going up. We were so close to getting Paulie out.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 14 2016, 01:07 AM

POV Spoiler: Victor has won the Power of Veto. No real indication on what the plan is at this point.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 15 2016, 01:03 AM

Paulie is such a f***ing piece of shit, I hope he goes home this week with EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.
Nicole is just behind him. To quote April Lewis from BB6 - if America really voted for Nicole; America is a piece of shit.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 15 2016, 08:20 PM

Posted by: J▲hq Aug 15 2016, 09:10 PM

Caught up on what's posted in spoilers (aside from the POV which I haven't checked) and don't know if it's still relevant at this stage but how silly can Natalie and James be??? The fact you two won the first two care packages (OK so the first one was only a 'never not' pass) surely shows that America is on your side? And also means America couldn't actually vote for you this time, so options were more limited. Ugh.

Love Paul so much, he's so entertaining. I think he's like Zach, complete with awful bromance (or maybe not anymore).

Posted by: Liаm Aug 17 2016, 10:55 PM

Friday's "special show" is just the Ziggy Marley concert that happeend the other day, it's part of a comp to win various prizes etc.

Posted by: JosephStyles Aug 18 2016, 01:36 AM

omg what? How totally random lmao.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 18 2016, 09:53 PM

Super excited to see Paulie go tonight. I don't think there's anything he can say or do to stay. I do worry about the return ticket however.
Also a little worried for Paul. Paulie was an excellent Ride or Die. I don't think Paulie would have taken anyone else to the end outside Paul. Paulie definitely thought he could have beat Paul at the end.. and.. well, he probably could have.
Nicole has Corey. James has Natalie. Victor will probably be gone quite soon and unless Paul goes on a straight out winning streak, he could be in trouble simply because other people have other people they'd want to take to the end.

I want someone to take out Nicole, Corey and then Victor. A final with Natalie/James/MEECH/Paul would be great. But again, if that's the case, I still worry for Paul.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 18 2016, 10:18 PM

Michelle winning would make me ooh.

Posted by: J▲hq Aug 18 2016, 11:10 PM

DEAD.

What is it with people dominating for a portion of the game and then crying when the tables have turned, acting like they're the victim?? Paulie this time, Clay and Shelli did it last season. No sympathy, byeeee.

Don't mess this up, roundtrip ticket (completely forgot about it until he mentioned it at the end of the episode)

Posted by: Liаm Aug 18 2016, 11:14 PM

Omg honestly just watch him get the round trip, get evicted next week and then they'll do a jury buyback and he'll win that to get back, it seems way too good to be true that he'll be gone for good tonight

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 18 2016, 11:26 PM

Three chances for a return?? I don't think they will have that so I really doubt a jury buyback is happening unless Paulie doesnt have the round trip ticket. And even then I don't believe they will be having it this season.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 18 2016, 11:31 PM

I know, I wasn't being entirely serious then That would be ridiculous lmao.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 19 2016, 01:45 AM

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Just please no jury buyback now. I really really thought he'd have the round trip at this point

Damn I have to be up in 4 hours, I just couldn't sleep and thought watching Paulie be evicted was as good an actiivty as any

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 19 2016, 02:06 AM

JURY BUY BACK CONFIRMED. So frustrating. It will probably end up being Paulie or whoever is evicted next (Maybe Corey?)
I just hope it's an Endurance and Bridgette slaughters Paulie and comes back into the game.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 19 2016, 02:09 AM

Oh god just what we needed... I mean I'd take Corey coming back if it means not Paulie. The only hope we have is Bridgette or the next evictee being Corey. Da and Z couldn't win anything.

Posted by: JosephSpears Aug 19 2016, 02:14 AM

Victor to be evicted next and come back again for the lols :') but ehhhh at this twist, really don't think it was needed.

Jessie aka Mr. Pectacular is hosting the special competition tomorrow, if there's a BB houseguest who has severely overstayed their welcome it's him

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 19 2016, 07:07 AM

Oh come on I have no doubt it will be a some kind of speed / strength comp because the producers seem to looooooove Paulie and will really want him back. I mean look at his edit.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 19 2016, 09:31 AM

Ok HOH has happened:

NATALIE WON YAAASSS

Posted by: J▲hq Aug 19 2016, 09:40 AM

Dunno if they're counting the online edition as season 19. I've read articles saying the show has been renewed for seasons 19 and 20 'to air in Summer 2017 and Summer 2018'

<3 at Paul snatching the roundtrip ticket up straight away.

Not here for jury buyback really (though I may overlook if Da'vonne decides it's time to win her first comp), we only need one 'evictee return' twist a season and we've had that.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 19 2016, 09:50 AM

Hopefully Michelle wins the care package (she's the only one who has never been HoH this year :') ) and they can boot out Victor or Corey. I don't think they should go for Nicole yet.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 19 2016, 01:38 PM

QUEN KNAT! Tho there's lots of talk about her nominating Paul/Victor.... ick. James trying to get her to at least put up Nicole.

Posted by: Froot. Aug 19 2016, 01:47 PM

Ugh Paulie's going to get the buyback isn't he considering his current competition. Makes me hope that Victor is evicted this week to stop him and that it would be hilarious to see him evicted and return twice!

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 19 2016, 01:50 PM

Victor or Corey definitely need to go this week! Preferably Victor so that Paulie doesn't come back. I mean without him he's sure to come back if the comp is not luck-based, like in Nicole's season. Endurance was last year so i doubt they will be going with that again. I guess something physical is awaiting us? Either way, he won't survive the second time in the house. Maybe for a couple of weeks max. Mama Da to come back and slay the game now that they got rid of Paulie successfully. I believe she could finally learn from her mistakes... third time round :')

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 19 2016, 07:47 PM

Care Package Winner: BIG MEECH WINS CO-HOH!!!

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 20 2016, 07:42 AM

Noms spoiler: michelle nominated Victor and Natalie nominated Paul. I hope this is a pawn situation for Paul or Victor because it would be very stupid for them not to come for Nicole and Corey this week.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 20 2016, 12:22 PM

Oops Natalie and Michelle are already regretting :/ It was great they made a big move but it was a bit misguided, I think keeping Paul and Victor is in Michelle's best interests as they'd probably take her as their Victoria (not that coming 3rd or like 6th really matters, you still don't win any money, but as a superfan I'm sure she'd love to see as much of the game as possible), because James and Natalie plus Corey and Nicole come as a pair and with Paul and Victor in control they'd probably want to get them out of the way. However taking Victor out wouldn't be an awful option, he is a comp beast and a real threat and then that leaves Paul vulnerable which would really shake things up yet again. That would be exciting actually, to think it looked obvious for Paulie to win and then Paul/Victor F2 and now that could be in jeopardy. Although I worry about the jury buyback, it's 100% going to be Victor or Paulie if victor goes, and then Paul/Victor/Paulie will probably win HOH and go for Nat/Michelle and bye bye season

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 21 2016, 08:34 AM

POV spoilah: Paul won yasssssssssss so Meech will have to put up Corey. And Paul with James will need to decide who they want to evict because they will be the majority Surely it would be best to get Corey out now. At least Victor is coupleless. I am so afraid of the next eviction as they can all come for Natalie and James possibly.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 21 2016, 02:49 PM

How did this season get so exciting *.* Definitely better to get rid of Corey, Nicole gives another option to leave in 3rd I guess, along with Michelle. I'm gunning for a Michelle and Paul top 2, omg imagine *.* *.* *.*

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 21 2016, 03:27 PM

From what I'm reading, it sounds like Nicole will go up, but they want to get rid of Victor. Normally I'd be pissed because I really want Nicole/Corey split up.. but.. with the Jury Buy Back, I'd be happy for Victor to go and give Paulie a run for his money.
I can't shake the feeling that all the women this year suck. BBCAN is impeccable with casting women.
Don't get me wrong, I really like Natalie and Michelle.. but.. their strategic ability perhaps isn't the best.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 21 2016, 04:40 PM

Yeah that's a good idea actually! Victor coming back is fine compared to Paulie, I'd rather have them both gone really but Victor returning AGAIN would be kinda hilarious. I defintiely agree about Nat and Meech, they're likeable and you want them to do well but they have like 0 chance of winning. Michelle is basically going to Paul and Victor's Victoria I imagine, at best.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 21 2016, 05:11 PM

I died @ 1:03.
I really want Wil for All-Stars just to see him on the feeds. He was terrible on his season, but I think by now he knows he's a joke and would just be hilarious to watch.

I am so here for Natalie and Michelle being in power but I'm not here for these noms. How awful would an eventual Corey win be.

But yes, so happy about Natalie continuing to prove she isn't just another Victoria like she easily could've been <3

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 22 2016, 07:47 PM

POV spoilah: meech did indeed put up Corey as a replacement. Yasssssssss go girl. Now for James to win the next HoH and evict whoever comes back.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 23 2016, 01:23 PM

it does however seem that Victor is still going home. I know we should be praising Natalie/Michelle for getting one of the boys out, but, I really wanted to see Nat/Mich/James/Paul make a run to the end together.
Also. Who's game is Michelle playing?! She wanted to save Frank. Didn't. Wanted to nominate Nicole. Didn't. Girl your targets are on fleek. Go with your gut!

Posted by: Liаm Aug 24 2016, 09:28 PM

I SHOULD NOT BE LAUGHING SO MUCH

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 25 2016, 01:18 PM

^LOL

Ugh. Who invited Week 1 Paul back? What a douche.
Dude. It's a f***ing game. You're on the block. Suck it up and stop being a dick.
I really want Corey to go.. but I think James will get rid of Victor.

That episode was brilliant tho, especially that competition. Michelle easily stole the show for me by STILL wanting Paul out even after Natalie changed her mind. It just sucks that Paul won the veto because I would have loved to have seen Mastermind Michelle come out to try and get Paul out this week.
Sadly, James will just keep wanting Victor out to himself this week so Michelle won't work so hard to try and get him out.
I just want to be nuzzled in between Victor's hairy pecs. Dude needs to sort out his hair, but outside of that. yum.

Posted by: Froot. Aug 25 2016, 02:05 PM

Oh great at the decision being left in the hands of 'I never want to get blood on my hands' James.

James, Corey and Nicole are all so DULL, I just want them to be mass evicted. When Corey just didn't give a shit about the Veto was just a massive eyeroll.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 25 2016, 02:35 PM

I really just wanted to see Corey go after blatantly throwing the Veto and not caring. You should never feel safe in that house.
+1 on the James thing. I don't see why he just doesn't get Corey out.. Who's gonna be pissed? Nicole? What is she going to do? She probably wouldn't even nominate him if she somehow did win HOH.
I would love to see Paul win and separate Natalie/James. Hopefully James would go in that situation.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 25 2016, 02:37 PM

I was never a huge fan of James but he is terrible this time around. To think that even Michelle and Natalie are making big moves, and he is still playing like it's a tentative week 2. I have no idea how he's so popular, last season he was just alright but he's my least favourite left now. Everyone thinks he's some mastermind because he got Frank out and Clay last season but as we've said a few times in here, anyone would have done that! It was the obvious move the whole house wanted in both cases, it's not like the girls this week making an actual big move and targetting the probable final 2.

I'm still hoping Natalie can do a Jordan, she's just so lovely. It's a shame she's tied to bloody James. I think it'll be between those two for AFP? I'd be ok with her, Michelle or even Paul winning the whole thing or AFP, Paul is a bit of a douche again because of being on the block but I love his game and how he turned it around. And yes at Victor's chesticles, Aaron *.*

Posted by: J▲hq Aug 25 2016, 05:40 PM

I was so happy about Paul winning veto. I guess Victor going would be for the best if he can win the buyback and save us from Paulie, then hopefully a Paul or Victor HOH. But yes, Corey going would be hilarious after how confident he acted in the DR.

There's only seven of them left and Corey is still zzzz. Being oblivious to Paul and Nicole arguing is his best moment of the season

Paul came across terribly last night, he kept insisting he was calm but he really wasn't lol. Corey will ideally go this week and not return although I don't mind Victor going only if he can stop Paulie winning the jury buyback.

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 26 2016, 01:59 AM

I guess I actually prefer him with the longer hair. Something is throwing me off tho and I think it may be the facial hair.
He's also put on a little chub which I like.... my little chub likes it

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 26 2016, 02:01 AM

Is it wrong that I want Paulie to return, him and Paul Ride or Die to the end and Paul win 9-0?
Apparently right before the feeds were cut James was actually considering keeping Victor. Paul is just a mastermind. He deserves this win over anyone else there.

I would be okay with Victor getting a third chance, but I'd rather see Bridgette return I guess. Da' and Z are out for me instantly.
We need feeds/regular updates on the Jury House. WAY more interesting than the regular house.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 26 2016, 02:12 AM

LMAO DAY AND Z BOTH JUST JUMPED OFF TOGETHER WTAF

I am needing Bridgette to return, game wise I think she was just getting started and I started liking her like the episode before she got evicted </3 I mean Paulie will never win now but I just don't want to keep watching him, ugh.

Bridgette in the jury house is giving me LIFE. The way she told the cameras she's going to tell Paulie he is a scumbag who lost her trust was EVERYTHING.

Oh my god I read yo spoilers y'all. Gonna be an interesting week. I guess I can resume watching the show rather than just the eviction episodes oops

Posted by: J▲hq Aug 26 2016, 09:47 AM

Agreed. I think he suits the longer hair, and the extra facial hair.

Couldn't resist finding out which juror is back but managed to avoid the HOH spoiler. So happy that it's Victor, I was really pulling for him because it was never going to happen for Da.

And yes, where's the special Friday episode focusing on the jury house. Neeeeeeeed

Posted by: Aaron. Aug 26 2016, 01:38 PM

Last night ended with Nicole thinking about putting up either James/Natalie or James/Michelle. James threw the competition to Nicole so she could get an HOH Letter. This is also the HOH he won last year to get Clelli out. I think it would be amaze if things did a 180 and he went home on the same competition a year later (and was lied to). However what a stupid move for Nicole. She would lose jury votes if she does this. But IDGAF. DO it!!!

Posted by: Froot. Aug 26 2016, 03:34 PM

I just want each episode to focus on the jury house so bad although it does seem as though Paulie and Zakiyah have got back together, see a photo Julie (or rather her intern) posted on Twitter. She is deluded.

Thank GOD Paulie didn't end up returning, I'm howling at Victor making his way back in though! Make him the winner please just to make a mockery of the amount of chances people have had to return to the game this season. Don't have a clue about what happened with Day and Z going off what has been written in here and seeing Twitter, I'm just pleased Z didn't return because I cba with adding another useless floater to the mix.

PLEASE get James out Nicole, a terrible game move for you but I need to see it happen especially when he went back on his deals twice (even though I'm glad he did in those cases). A final four of Michelle/Victor/Paul/Natalie is what I'm here for and I will accept nothing else

Noms spoiler:

f***ING NICOLE. She went for Paul and Michelle... Michelle is the target. James or Natalie, most likely Natalie, going up as replacement if Paul or Michelle is taken off the block. Wtaf. Well done Ratcole, way to waste a HOH when the last one was already wasted because it essentially was a rewind. Why get out the lone player who won 1 comp, the least threat in there. It reeks of her being personal, and even a hugely emotional player like Michelle herself managed to put that aside and make a big move by nominating the actual threats.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 28 2016, 02:35 AM

Veto spoiler:

OMG SHE f***ING WON THAT AS WELL FFS. The FIFTH (!!!) time this season that the same person has won HOH and veto this series, hmmm. Nicole plans to leave the noms the same and target Michelle, so she's basically wasting her HOH. Well done babe. She wants to work with Victor and Paul as she believes that them and her/Corey are the best players. Lol. I mean she's half right.

Posted by: Froot. Aug 29 2016, 10:53 AM

I know I keep coming in here talking about the non-entities but I just can't at Corey in that episode. Natalie says that she wants him to go up, he doesn't care. Nicole's worrying that they might get blindsided by Corey going home, he doesn't care. He suggests using the care package to get someone to do something stupid? He literally does not care about the game at all, just please get him out, he's so dull! Victoria may have been hopeless in BB16 but at least she was entertaining with it.

I can't believe there's still another month left of this.

Posted by: 🍑💦🍌 Aug 29 2016, 01:59 PM

I stopped watching this. I'll pick it up again once something INTERESTING happens. This week looked to be potentially exciting but nope, I was wrong.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 29 2016, 03:40 PM

Oh christ, ikr! Knowing this series Corey will win or something It's so frustrating because when Paulie was ousted and the house flipped it was such an exciting week, and then I thought last week was pretty exciting because Michelle and Natalie both tried to make a big move, it's just a shame yet another physical comp meant Victor (or Paulie if he wasn't evicted) was always going to come back in and that week was basically a waste with the metaphorical reset button being pushed. I won't be that mad at Victor, Paul or Natalie winning it's just going to be boring watching it until then. I can't stand Nicole or James and Corey is just SO dull.

Posted by: JosephSpears Aug 29 2016, 03:45 PM

I don't think there's a chance Corey will win actually, surely the jury would vote for ANYONE over him? Nicole's not done a great deal but she has two HOHs under her belt now and has actually tried to play the game from time to time :') Corey's done nothing outside of his HOH in the double eviction...

Posted by: Liаm Aug 29 2016, 03:50 PM

I was joking He's not actually going to win.

Posted by: JosephSpears Aug 29 2016, 04:23 PM

Whoosh moment from me there still though, hopefully he's out ASAP, totally dull and kinda makes a mockery of the show...

"Weekly" show, does that mean only one proper episode and the rest is just watching live feed? Not sure what to make of this format, tbh though there are streaming sites that let you watch live feed so it's not like you'd HAVE to have CBS Access, but equally I don't see the point in sitting watching feed for hours a day just in case something happened when it probably wouldn't.

Posted by: Pavel Sep 2 2016, 06:42 AM

guess who's the HoH this week. Yup. Him again

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 3 2016, 01:11 AM

I loved the rapturous applause BIG MEECH got after cussing out Nicole.
She may have been shit at competitions, but I liked Michelle. Definitely All Star worthy in my eyes just for her tounge.
I also think she's the type of player that will learn from her mistakes.

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 3 2016, 01:22 AM

I think if it came down to Vic/Paul at the end, the jury will be conflicted.. which is great in my eyes. I don't want another predictable winner like whoever won last year and Derrick. I want the jury to really dig deep. It's hard to tell if Victor would be respected for returning three times. We have three people on the Jury that have had 2nd (or 3rd) chances, so they really shouldn't throw stones. Not to mention the fact that D/Z/B and P all also had the chance to return as well.
I think if Victor can get out James and eventually Nicole.. it may be hard for Paul to beat him.

Posted by: Riser Sep 3 2016, 05:42 AM

Do they really have to repeat the egg competition EVERY YEAR?

Posted by: Liаm Sep 3 2016, 01:43 PM

I agree totally! She has been one of the most entertaining for me this season easily, probably in more of a BBUK way (like Da'Vonne) but you do need houseguests like that as well as the true competitors. Plus I think as a superfan in there it must be easy to get a bit overwhelmed that you're finally in there and she still seemed like a watcher to me, she was always observing and making cutting little comments just a lot of us would on a forum or Twitter and I loved that I think her gameplay was quite good, when she actually tried that is which wasn't often enough!! Of course she was awful at comps, but she did make a big move when she was HOH with Natalie and at least tried to change things with it. Plus she was a big part of flipping the house on Paulie, I still hate how James was made to look like he was the mastermind on the highlights episodes..

It's got to the point again where I'd rather watch jury house than the actual house, Michelle and Paulie together *.* I do like 3 out of the top 6 which is an achievement I guess but it's just boring and predictable now. I hate James and Nicorey thoguh, well I don't even hate Corey because there's nothing to him to like or hate or anything But James is an idiot and Nicole is just a whiny brat this time around with no sense of the game, wasting her HOH week by getting out someone who was never going to win a competition, so "she would have come for me" at this point is just a stupid excuse. If it was me I'd have gone James and Natalie as they have more chance, especially being in a showmance.

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 3 2016, 02:36 PM

I'm surprised we didn't get the Comic Book competition yet. We may still get it with the Veto this week maybe.. but.. I actually think that's a brilliant competition and I'd want to be in the house at that point because you get some memorabilia*

*or if you're Caleb you take a dick pic with it in the background so you're instantly outed.

Posted by: Pavel Sep 3 2016, 04:58 PM

The problem with Michelle's exit was is that she stated the obvious too much. Of course Nicole is going for top two. EVERYONE IS. LITERALLY. it was kinda stupid.

I liked her for the most part but her gameplay wasn't the best. She didn't even campaign or strategize the last week. You are never safe in there.

At this point I wouldn't even be mad if Victor won at all. In fact I think I am gunning for him to win more than others bar Natalie. I just think it's extremely funny that he evicted back all the people who were HoH the weeks he was eliminated (well, kinda last week but he was given a bribe so yeah).. I have no doubt he will have another chance to get back into the house some time in the future seasons.

Posted by: JosephStyles Sep 3 2016, 05:08 PM

Yeah I'm definitely rooting for Victor if Natalie can't do it at this stage, he's played a pretty good game especially considering the two evictions!

Based on how much I'd like them to win:

1. Natalie
2. Victor
3. Paul (he annoys me and I think he has a very high opinion of himself but his game has been mostly great so I can't really moan if he wins)
4. James
5. Nicole
6. Corey

Would be happy with anyone bar Corey really although I'd prefer Nicole not to win too (and James hasn't exactly done loads).

Posted by: Pavel Sep 3 2016, 05:16 PM

Literally the same ranking for me haha

Posted by: Liаm Sep 3 2016, 05:31 PM

I'm here for Victor to win more than any of them tbh. He's undeniably the best player, for him to have got back in there after being evicted twice and be in such a good position is incredible. Of course a lot of it is his brute competition strength but almost as soon as he comes back he always gets himself into a perfect position, so that he has back in the unlikely case he loses a comp

01 Victor
02 Natalie
03 Paul
04 James
05 Nicole
06 Corey

Like I said though I hate all the bottom 3, James is not far ahead of Nicole. I hate how James acts like he's a massive player who'll blow up the whole house when like I keep saying he only makes the "big" move if it's obvious, and he'll only do it if he knows it's what most of the house wants. Both of them are useless really this time around compared to last season, but not as useless as Corey who has done literally nothing apart from that one time he inexplicably won HOH and veto just to ruin the double eviction EVen his bribe was just solidifying something that was going to happen anyway. Natalie's not the best player ever but she was instrumental in flipping the house on Paulie (she started the rumbles afaik after some of the awful stuff he said to her) and I thik she has played a fairly good game, if only her or James won that veto and got Paul out she could have still won but the odds are really really stacked against. I'd be more than happy with Victor or Paul winning, both have played great games seeing as Paul started out as the easy target and pawn and Victor as I've said above was evicted but always lands on his feet again.

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 3 2016, 09:55 PM

01 Paul
02 Victor
03 Natalie
04 Corey
05 James
06 Nicole

Paul and Victor are very close for me, Paul just edges out because he simply didn't need 3 tries to get to the end. Natalie is a distant 3rd. I like her, but her win wouldn't be very satisfying. Corey only beats out Nicole and James because Nicole is the scum of the earth and James didn't come to play this season.
TBH - I'd only be happy with my top 2 winning and just alright with Natalie winning. Anyone else I probably won't be happy.

Posted by: Liаm Sep 4 2016, 04:34 AM

POV has happened:
Corey won, finally he's done something else lol. He'll obviously keep things the same.

Posted by: Liаm Sep 5 2016, 04:25 PM

Have you not been aware of your actions towards two guys in as many seasons hun?

Posted by: JosephStyles Sep 5 2016, 04:26 PM

oh dear

Posted by: J▲hq Sep 7 2016, 09:29 AM

Finally caught up on the past three episodes and even with this being the ninth full season I've watched (plus BB Can), I still seem to be rubbish at calling things. But I guess they're just silly in the house and everyone else also assumed Michelle looked to be the safest prior to noms? Just thought the couples would all be going after each other but nah.

I felt sad for her but she had a great interview, representing all us superfans <3

Rooting for Paul the most as aside from Da'vonne, he's been the entertainment factor for me this season but Victor is very close with his comp wins and I'd be happy with Natalie too, even Nicole I wouldn't be too 'ugh' about if she won.

I don't really dislike any of them at this stage. Corey kinda won me over during the Christmas counting comp, oop.

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 8 2016, 01:05 AM

That Veto comp was amazing. We need more competitions like that. I can't believe Natalie did so well.
They need to stop pimping out their new shows tho. They always flop. This new show doesn't look very great. The only one I recall I ever watched was HIMYM.

Done with all of this Jatalie crap too. You two have no future outside of this, clearly. Just go away.
I would rather see James go. Starting to play on day 80 or whatever it is isn't acceptable.

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 8 2016, 01:29 AM

Also, spoiler for what tomorrows HOH Comp is: It's the Slip and Slide. So basically Nicole vs 3 Guys that she has no chance in beating. I actually think Victor would have won this comp if he could have competed. I think it will be between Paul and Corey. I hope Paul wins because I'm not 100% certain that he will get rid of James if given the choice.

Posted by: Froot. Sep 8 2016, 08:43 AM

Lost so much respect for the show after that episode tbh! I know I've heard that the Diary Room has been heavily suggesting to housemates who they should target but to explicitly see manipulation in that Veto competition is quite shocking. There's no way that Corey, or any reasonable person, would go straight for the pipes immediately upon entering the room and without even seeing the manhole cover without being told by production. I'm not sure why they're even favouring Nicorey so much, they make dull television?

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 8 2016, 11:28 PM

I disagree, I think if they were going to manipulate a win, it would have been to save James/Natalie. They are by far the more popular couple and James is a shoe in for Fan Favorite again if he doesn't make it to the end.

The part I disliked about the episode was the 'Anti-Natalie' stance, it just seems that the second they got something behind them to want to get Natalie out.. they took it.

Posted by: Liаm Sep 9 2016, 03:56 AM

COREY f***ING WON AND HIM AND NICOLE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FLIPPING ON PAUL AND VICTOR. Omg watch James or Nicole win now, the series just keeps getting worse.

Posted by: Pavel Sep 9 2016, 06:59 AM

Hahahahhaha mysogynistic Paulie in that jury house with 5 women. I love irony. Amazing.

Posted by: Pavel Sep 9 2016, 07:05 AM

Done with this series officially. Will just be checking out wiki from now on. Boring as f***.

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 9 2016, 12:00 PM

I had a feeling that Corey would be too much of a pussy to get James out.
I can't blame them tho. Why not take a shot if you have the chance now. It's best to split them up if you can.

Posted by: Pavel Sep 10 2016, 10:31 AM

omg now imagine James winning PoV and using it on one of the two. It would be reaaaaallllllly funny. But James will play it safe, as always. Even though it's top 5 and playing it safe won't get you far.
But srsly they have to get rid of Victor because you just KNOW he will win the two next HoHs or at least a PoV (next week it will be crucial) + HoH and sail to the top 2.

Posted by: Froot. Sep 10 2016, 12:01 PM

I was thinking about that Pavel, it would be such a good move and hilarious to see Nicole go on Corey's HOH but then I remembered this is James so it's never happening.

Apparently James is concerned he won't get America's Favourite Player if he makes the Final 2... even though you get more money for second place.

I can't with him anymore, never ever ever ever let him return.

Posted by: Liаm Sep 10 2016, 06:18 PM

James is worse than Nicole for me rn, at least she is playing. It took her long enough but at least she realises at this point that you have to really try!

Posted by: Liаm Sep 11 2016, 04:33 PM

I'm watching BB14 for the first time instead of 18 God I hate Danielle already and apparently she just gets worse, I'm on her HOH week atm. Dan, Britney and Ian >>>>

This season is possibly the best I've watched so far, although things ALWAYS go bad at the end. At least I know there's a good winner.

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 12 2016, 01:42 AM

BB14 was a good season.. even if it was just for Brit/Janelle. I am not an Ian fan however....

Posted by: Liаm Sep 12 2016, 05:51 AM

Mike is also awful. Dan is so much better as a returning winner, Mike thinks the world owes him everything because he won before Utter utter douchebag, I think I might watch All Stars after as I'm told that's a good starting point for old series but I don't think I want to see him win

Posted by: J▲hq Sep 12 2016, 05:02 PM

Danielle was amazing! Ok maybe a slight over-exaggeration but she was crucial to my two highlights of the season. Agreed that Mike was awful, BB14 and BB13 are definitely my faves out of the US seasons I've watched.

Out of Nicole/James/Corey, I do favour Nicole right now. As much as I love Paul, I hope Victor got the veto as I feel he's more deserving and I want him to go all the way.

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 13 2016, 01:40 PM

^ I agree. If Vic and Paul go back to back and we're stuck with those three, I'm rooting for Nicole I guess.
I don't want to root for any of them, they basically all slept until about Day 75, but that's not really their fault. The other housemates allowed them to slip under the radar.

Posted by: Pavel Sep 13 2016, 04:35 PM

how has nicole never even been on the block this time?! it's quite impressive considering she was the first HoH this season!

Posted by: Liаm Sep 13 2016, 04:47 PM

If Nicole wins I'm just gonna pretend BB16 Nicole won I was so behind her then, and this season I've been so against her but of the 3 "running it" (for want of a better word, competitions matter most right now, you know what I mean, she should definitely win. She has played a decent game lying low and pulling it off when it matters but that's just not my favoured sort of game compared to say a killer social game or being a comp beast. I just don't think not doing anything until like final 6 (I mean she did win the first HOH) is really worthy of being a winner but for some reason I'm not TOTALLY mad if she were to win whereas I would hate James or Corey winning.


Also a supposedly reputable source says that the F4 HOH was won by
PAUL YAS. If he could just win F3 as well when it matters he's got this.

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 14 2016, 01:17 AM

Yis Paul, Yis.
F4 HOH doesn't give you much outside of getting to the Final 3. He should want James to stay simply based on the fact that he can probably beat him in some form of the F3 HOH.
Paul needs to go on a winning streak tho. I don't see anyone taking him to the end, even if he does split up Nicole/Corey this week.

Sad to see Victor go, but not too sad. Sure he's great at competitions, but his strategy and gameplay was never really top form.

ROOTING FOR PAUUULL.

Posted by: Pavel Sep 14 2016, 06:49 AM

At this moment a big part of me wants Corey to have lost that very first challenge oops. He's useless. Can he get evicted now plz. But if Corey or Nicole win that Veto (and they have won veto five times this season so far combined!), oh my, James is automatically gone.

Posted by: Liаm Sep 14 2016, 07:03 AM

Praying for Paul to win it all, but he's going to have to win the final 3 HOH as well obviously because either of the guys would take Nicole and Nicole would definitely not take Paul over the other two guys. I think if Paul gets to final 2 he's got it, Nicole is the biggest threat for sure, I don't think either of the guys have played anywhere near well enough to get respect from the jury that means they have enough votes to win.

Looking back, to be fair to Nicole, from a game point of view I can't say she'd be an undeserving winner when you look at the other options being Corey and James as I've said. I think she has done quite well to lie low for so long, never being on the block for weeks and weeks despite being in a showmance and tied to Paulie for a while. It's just I'm not a huge fan of that strategy, I can recognise that she did it well and applaud her for it but I hate that all of her, James and Corey pretty much all waited until like day 70-80 to play the game, I'm more of a fan of players like Paul or Victor who had more a struggle and a fight to get where they are. James, Nicole and Corey up to now when the competitions matter more have had such an easy ride in my eyes. I wish the sweet Nicole from BB16 who still had a fire in her belly and was so likeable rather than whiny and snakey could have pulled this off but eh I guess at least she's got a decent chance of doing it this time - better late than never

I'm gonna do a little season review/rank because I'm awake early and can't get back to sleep so just finished BB14, so I'm on a bit of a BB hype

01 Natalie (a lovely person but not a bad player either. She wasn't the greatest, granted, but she definitely had a good strategy by being lovely to pretty much everyone, she has a heart of gold. Even with the likes of Paulie, she took action when needed but was never outright nasty to anyone and that alone can bring you so far in life and the BB house.)

02 Michelle (by FAR my favourite *person* of the series but in a BBUK sort of way, so Natalie edges it game wise. Sadly she was hilarious but a useless player. She definitely fell into the pitfalls of being a superfan, still as if she was watching, she was like us watching and critiquing and insulting people but from inside the house Maybe if she returned she could do a Nicole, realising that her approach was wrong. But as I said, hilarious and I just found her so relatable to watch as she'd probably be exactly what I'd be like)

03 Victor (Never thought I'd have him this high based on the start of the season! As Aaron said, he was quite lucky to be a comp beast, as he wasn't really top tier with his game. But I really really respect the fire in his belly, his fight and determination to pull himself through. I prefer players like that who'll fight tooth and nail than those who float through and just don't really bother because they rely on others to keep them safe)

04 Paul (he can be irritating but overall really likeable and funny to watch, but most of all I love how he turned it around from being the biggest target at the beginning to being one of the top dogs and a huge threat, a really clever game tbh)

05 Da'vonne (I'm gonna go there - Da'vonne is kinda overrated. I love her personality but she's had two chances now and she hasn't won a single comp, this time she was better at game as last year she just blew up and ruined it but she was hardly a big hitter. Probably a little hypocritical as I have Michelle second but I'm giving her benefit of the doubt as she hasn't had 2 chances like Day )

06 Bridgette (I hated her for a while but just as I got to like her she was gone. I think she was kind of a mini Nicole to Frank's Hayden/Corey, I feel that she would have had a better game if she didn't throw it away for him.

07 Tiffany (I felt really bad for her being targetted for nothing just because she was Vanessa's sister, but the way she handled it made her seem so volatile so it was her own fault really. She had Vanessa's emotional pitfalls without the blinding social game that meant Vanessa got herself out of so many sticky situatons, which was a shame)

08 Frank (Misogynistic at times but I'm really unsure if it was just his humour? Maybe I'm letting him off for being low key hot af, but I found myself missing him at least once he was gone, I just hated Fridgette really)

09 Nicole (said my piece above)

10 Zakiyah (absolutely useless, seemed a lovely girl but she was so dumb to jump off for Paulie in that HOH endurance comp the week she was evicted and she was so dumb to just let go and not even try in the battle back. Maybe in another series without Paulie she'd have shone a bit more, she just let him protect her and then let him pick her off when there was even a glimpse of doubt)

11 Glenn (nothing to say at all, so nothing negative whereas the others below do have that. It's a shame that he didn't get a chance but I don't envision that we really missed much tbh )

12 Bronte (annoying as f*** but she's a distant memory now so feels less awful than those below her)

13 Corey (beautiful to look at and I'm sure he's a nice guy but good LORD is he vapid. It's also kind of an insult to so many amazing players not just in this season but others who were out even pre-jury that he gets to final 4)

14 Jozea (as with Bronte, a distant memory but I remember him marring the first week so much with his Messiah shit, thank god Nicole took the easy route and picked him off first!)

15 James (I was far from a fan last season, and this season he's just been the same but amplified to be worse. Totally useless, never really done anything apart from that one time he won HOH and that was a move virtually all of the house would have made, and I hate how he's so pre-occupied with getting America's vote he'd sacrficie his whole game for it. I just do not see what made him AFP last time, there is virtually nothing to him and his gameplay is shite, but I think he'll get AFP again as he's smashing polls :/)

16 Paulie (goes without saying he ruined a large chunk of this series by controlling everything, winning all the time and progressively becoming more and more awful. Such an arrogant, awful misogynist who thought the world owed him everything because his brother almost won but didn't because of one of the stupidest moves of all time. His eviction was so satisfying, but honestly I think he had issues because he was practically breaking down the week he was found out and he was so nasty and personal to so many people as a result, rather than taking it as part of the game :/)

Posted by: Froot. Sep 14 2016, 10:31 AM

Paul NEEDS to win. He's the only one who has fought for his place in there. It looked like he was a goner in those first few weeks and so for him to turn it round and make Final 3 is what the show is about! If any of the other three win, that means that for the third time in a year (Steve in BB17 & Phil/Nick in BBCan) that the winner has literally been invisible for the first half of the series yet has gone on to win. I get that lying low does help to get you to the end but, considering its a TV show, that doesn't make for good entertainment and they shouldn't be rewarded for it! I would take a Nicole win considering she really has stepped it up since Paulie went but it would kill me to see Corey & James win. I can only see that happening if they are the Final 2 though.

Cannot wait for tonight's episode as there's a https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CsR7j0oVUAARq1G.jpg! *.* I really wish they'd been a special Friday episode each week focusing on the jury house, it's far more entertaining!

EDIT: that should mean Nicole is Final 3 as well considering Corey and James are very unlikely to evict her!

Posted by: Tyler Sep 14 2016, 01:37 PM

PAUL TO WIN! By far the best social game in the American series in YEARS. He went from being my least favorite player tO thouroghly earning my respect.

Victor also played a fantastic game of brawn, but, Paul is the only reason he lasted at ALL after his first return. I'd also be okay with a Nicole win. She took notes from what she did wrong last season and killed it this year. Any of those three are deserving winners.

Posted by: Tyler Sep 14 2016, 01:44 PM

Yes Froot!!!! I really wish they would do an episode of the jury house once a week, even if it were just a youtube exclusive! A 30 minute highlight reel would be amazing!

Paulie is such a twat. Zakiyah is f***ing dumb and I don't respect her at all anymore. I hope Day curb stomps his fine ass.

Posted by: J▲hq Sep 14 2016, 02:51 PM

"You remind me of an animal but I can't ssssss-eem to put my finger on it" !!

Yasssss at Paul getting the F4 HOH, these nail biting moments towards the end of the game are the highlight of my year. He not only turned it around in the game, being a target near the start and surviving this long, but initially he was like my second least favourite behind Jozea and now he's my second favourite of the season (no one can touch Da'vonne). Praying so hard that he gets F3 HOH

Posted by: Froot. Sep 14 2016, 04:11 PM

Has anyone seen this gif of Day's eviction last year going viral as a meme on Twitter?



e.g. One I've just seen: "JLo to producer: I like it but I kind of feel like it's missing something...

Pitbull:"

Posted by: J▲hq Sep 14 2016, 05:04 PM

!! I saw it in one tweet, didn't realise it was a meme


And did anyone else really snigger when James got the Natalie question wrong during the comp? It wasn't like the Paulie or Bronte clips where they were addressing everybody in the room either, she was TALKING TO HIM!! :')

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 15 2016, 01:20 AM

I probably want Paul to get to the end and win now even more than I wanted Vanessa to get to the end and win this year.
He needs to win these final few HOH competitions. I'm curious to see what the Endurance competition is. He lost quite quickly to James and Nicole in the last Standing Endurance competition, but if there's some Physical or Strategy component to it, he could do alright.

His best shot seems to be the 2nd Part. He will have some competition against Nicole as she's been studying. He should be able to beat James no problem.
It's almost best for James to win Round 1. Paul Round 2 and face each other at the end. It's pretty clear he could probably take out James in the final Question round as well.
Nicole could do well in the final two rounds as well, it's just down to how she can handle the pressure really.

I really wish James could read the jury better. I'm not sure if James would stand a chance against Paul at the end, probably not, but I hope he realizes that she has a few votes locked away already.

That jury segment was ridiculous. Paulie is really going to get a rude awakening when he comes out and see how everything went down and how much of a misogynistic jackass he looks like. Da' is giving me life my considering voting Nicole the winner. Why weren't you as open when you were in the Big Brother house to see the bigger picture gurl!?

That jury segment!!! All because of a sassy Michelle comment as well! I really don't understand how Z can just keep going back to Paulie after EVERYTHING and it seems a great shame that its ended her friendship with Day considering they were talking about being friends for life. I don't blame Day though considering there's only so many times you can tell someone not to go back to someone as horrendous as Paulie before you just give up. I lived for her saying that he never talks down to a man.

Round 1 HOH winner is: Paul apparently! So that means it'll probably be Nicole v Paul in Round 3 considering James is even more hopeless in not even studying. They both will surely take James to F2 though so I guess the winner overall will be whoever wins HOH eek!

Guys, I have it on authority that Joseph is rooting for Nicole over Paul

Let's lynch ha

#PrayingForPaul

Also Nicole let it slip that all the jurors votes are cast prior to the Final 2 being revealed (ie. they vote for all scenarios). The vote during the final is real, but they would have already selected who they wanted to win and aren't allowed to change their vote during the show. The only person that really votes live is the person in 3rd place.
She also mentioned that in the situation of a Cody vs Victoria vote. Victoria would have received two votes to win. #Quen

So, what is the point in Jury Questions or having the Final 2 prepare statements. They have no impact.

Posted by: J▲hq Sep 22 2016, 08:50 AM

^ I'll believe that's why the vote turned out the way it did (was that done in response to Topaz or does BB Canada do it differently? )

I'M PISSED. NOT FRIENDSHIP. What a joke. When you're betrayed by your own queen



Nicole says it herself, "how did I win?"

Thank god Victor got America's fave though.

(And plsss send Jason into BB: OTT)

Julie: "Da'vonne, who do you want to see become the final member of the jury?"
Mama Day: "PLEASE NOT PAUL!!!"

You troll.

Posted by: JosephStyles Sep 22 2016, 09:32 AM

!

I am really happy with the outcome lol, I do with Nicole had got involved throughout the game but let's not forget she had an instant target on her as a vet and she managed to stay off the block until final 4, that's pretty impressive I think even if I'd rather she didn't align herself with someone as USELESS as Corey. Plus I just cannot deal with Paul being smug lol, game play aside I found him annoying for most of the season. I was totally convinced he'd win, even when it came down to just Da'Vonne's vote, but I am delighted Nicole pulled through first female winner since Queen Rachel *.*

Posted by: Pavel Sep 22 2016, 09:44 AM

It's quite f***ed up that a female had never won against a male in the top 2 until now. Wat

I'm quite happy she won. I choose to take into account the game from her original season. It either way the winner would be great. I feel Paul will be coming for redemption some time soon.

Posted by: Pavel Sep 22 2016, 09:56 AM

and OH MY GOD. please don't let Jozea back in! I was GAGGING with laughter at Jason's reaction to him on that segment.

Posted by: Liаm Sep 22 2016, 09:58 AM

Well, that was a bit of a shit ending. I know that she did play a good game, I'll go with Pav and pretend it's her original game becasue she deserved so much more in that season. To be fair to her she did manage to lay low for long enough to go undetected and then she pulled off really turning her game around and powering through when it mattered most. As a person though, this time around I found her so annoying and just didn't like her that much. If this was the original Nicole I'd have been so elated that she won, so yeah we'll pretend it was.

Posted by: Froot. Sep 22 2016, 10:30 AM

JASON TO RETURN PLEASEEEEEE!!! I would LOVE to see him back in the first place, especially with him being such a big fan of the show, including BBUK!!, but I cannot face watching Jozea anymore. (that is if I will even be able to watch anything of Over the Top, I still don't get how its working :S)

For BB18, Nicole's game after Paulie left was amazing but she did nothing before that whereas Paul worked his butt off the ENTIRE season. He looked like a goner in those first few weeks then pulled his social game up, got rid of Paulie when he needed to despite that PP thing and got Nicorey on board at the right moment.

As everyone has said, I was really rooting for her in BB16 and always thought she should return because she got screwed over by a shit season and I guess the fact she originally got evicted in 9th place and she started playing the game in BB18 after 9th place you actually can conjoin the two together.

wtf at Day though, don't be rooting for Paul all the way through and then vote for Nicole!!! The girls did have the plan to vote for a female winner, it's just a shame that had to be BB18 Nicole. tbh I am happy though that James wasn't rewarded for doing nothing although I don't know why he still ended up Top 3 for AFP :/

~~~

When the jury votes were at 4:4 and the last person left was Da'Vonne. Me: Yasss Paul's got this. Da:

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 22 2016, 11:51 AM

I'll comment on Nicole's win later, but came across this.



We get to decide the winner. Yay?
Also Jason FTW.

Posted by: Froot. Sep 22 2016, 02:06 PM

HOWLING!!

if only the season was actually done with that quickly tho

Posted by: Pavel Sep 22 2016, 02:35 PM

To be fair the beginning of the season was AMAZING.

Posted by: HarryEzra Sep 22 2016, 04:45 PM

I just watched and omg so shocked Nicole won would have preferred Paul due to who was better overall but hey over the last few weeks she has actually played the game at least unlike James :')

Also yess Viktor winning America's Fave!!!

Posted by: Liаm Sep 22 2016, 07:09 PM

Ugh I've just seen about Jozea/Jason. Tbh I couldn't abide Jason but I hate Jozea too, but it means we have Jason again. Yay.

Posted by: Mac n' Cheese 🧀 Sep 23 2016, 09:02 AM

Paul definitely should have won, but Nicole definitely did a fantastic job as well. And IMO, the most deserving winner after Paul and Victor.

ALSO! PLEASE NO JOZEA I HATE HIM. Is the Fall season just online?

Posted by: Aaron. Sep 24 2016, 07:17 PM

Yes. I haven't been keeping up with the details, but it's definitely more for the people that like to watch the live feeds.
1 1-Hour episode a week, but you can see the competitions live, live ceremonies. ect..
We get to vote for a winner as well. It's speculated that the public will be heavily involved in what happens this season.

Posted by: Pavel Sep 24 2016, 08:42 PM

Clever way to try out the more UK-esque approach

Posted by: Froot. Sep 26 2016, 06:16 PM

The Over the Top housemates have been revealed, aside from who won out of Jason and Jozea of course. Here: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/big-brother-ott-houseguests-932201/item/michael-cornbread-ligon-big-brother-932175

The boys are certainly a lot more diverse than recent years and there's quite a few superfans. There will also be two sisters! Neeley looks good as well as Alex! I'm not here for this from Justin tho: 'I don't care about missing the election, really. I actually care about missing Halloween more than the election! (Laughs)! I'm not really into the whole politic thing, man. It's beyond our power. If Trump gets elected the world is going to come to an end or something. We might get nuked or some shit. I'd rather Hillary. It's like Hillary or die!' - he realises the consequences of a Trump win (if a little exaggerative of course) but he still 'doesn't care'. Also this from Michael: 'I would say I'm a fan, but I haven't watched the other countries or anything like that. And season 16 is the only season I got to watch in full.' - soooo, you're not a fan then?

REALLY hope that at least the weekly episode is uploaded to the ~usual places~ so I get to watch this.

Posted by: Pavel Sep 26 2016, 07:15 PM

Oh it's deffo getting on torrents so I wouldn't worry really.

I already know I will be LIVING for Cryssie if she's anything like in that video.

Posted by: J▲hq Sep 26 2016, 08:47 PM

Oh dear at Shane, Joseph's new crush

Hoping some of the other stuff gets uploaded as I doubt one weekly episode will really be enough to get into it

Posted by: Aaron. Oct 16 2016, 01:04 AM

No posts for BBOTT?
It's actually very good. The first Weekly Episode was a little sloppy and a little hard to follow, it just seemed they jumped straight into things without explaining too much.
I get that Alex and Morgan are sisters, but, why didn't Morgan want to work with Alex?
Granted, I did skip over the VT segment.. that may have explained it.

I think the best part of this season is that two douche guys were the first two to go and had it not been for America, they'd both still be in the house.
I'm not usually a fan of America having so much power, but a lot of it does actually fall on the HOH to make sure they have smart nominations and numbers. That's really what was missing for Alex this week on wanting to get Danielle out. Monte deserved to go, plain and simple and he did which is great.

A little depressing seeing Scott win HOH this week. I really want the power of the house with Shane/Justin/Neeley/Danielle/Kryssie/Jason.. however this Veto twist could absolutely save everything. If he does put up Shane/Danielle and America puts someone up like Shelby, it could come to a point where if say Jason and Neeley are picked and use the veto to save Shane/Danielle, Scott has almost no choice but to possibly put up one of his own. That could secure one of the people from the other side going home, especially if America votes with Jason's alliance.

I do also love the Weekday Replay, however I wish they'd find a better way not to integrate the content into the Weekly Episode.
The Weekly Episode pretty much makes up for not having episodes 3x a week as well, based on the duration.

All in all. Really great season. I don't think this cast really fits the mold of being a regular cast and some of the twists are beyond ridiculous. But still. Very watchable.

RANKING TIME:

01: NEELEY - OMG she is LYFE. Amazing. I'm getting serious Danielle Reyes vibes from her.
02: JASON - Queen. So glad he was brought back. I hope he can continue to survive.
03: ALEX - I slowly think she will start to tumble down my ranking, but she seems like a lot of fun. She's just on the wrong side of the house.
04: SHANE - Hot as f***. I don't mind the hair and he seems very sweet.
05: JUSTIN - Something about him is really off for me, but he's fun, interesting and vibrant. Really interesting to watch.
06: MORGAN - Sister 2.0. Not as interesting.
07: DANIELLE - I can't say I'm a fan. She seems young and immature. If it does eventually come down to Her/Shane on the block at some point and one's got to go, I hope she goes.
08: KRYSSIE - Dead wood for me.
09: SCOTT - Basically Ian/Steve clone. No way he will ever win with America voting for the winner.
10: MONTE - Yeah, he's trash. Disappointing because he is so hot.
11: WHITNEY - Basic southern white girl. Nothing interesting about her at all.
12: SHELBY - Yeah, pretty much Trash like Jason had said.
13: CORNBREAD - Bye.

Posted by: J▲hq Oct 16 2016, 06:08 AM

Is there somewhere for us to watch it?

Posted by: Froot. Oct 16 2016, 01:25 PM

I gave up looking for the recaps online and I'm just following the series progress by searching the hashtag on Twitter and looking at the top tweets. It means I can't really comment as I'm only seeing it through other people's opinions with limited video clips.

It's a shame because it really looks like a great series, with a more varied cast and the two gigantic twats out first. Some of the things I heard that Monte said is disgusting.

Posted by: HarryEzra Oct 16 2016, 01:46 PM

I am not really bothered about following this if it was online I probs would have tried too at least but I think I will use this a good thing as I cant procrastinate by watching this when I should be doing my coursework

Posted by: Aaron. Oct 16 2016, 02:36 PM

I just torrent, download and stream to my TV.
Whoever is uploading is pretty good, I've been able to find the Daily/Weekly updates no problem. I usually just bulk watch it however, just caught up on last week + the weekly episode yesterday. About 2 hours of content.

Posted by: J▲hq Oct 21 2016, 05:40 PM

Aside from when Jeff walks in and she's like "oh I didn't watch your season"!!

I've found places to stream this now, just not from my usual TV source. There's a Dailymotion channel and some other place, both missing some stuff but combined I think they have all the weekday recaps, weekly roundups and eviction interviews. Just caught up to the second veto ceremony.

I like little things like the safety ceremonies with 'block passes' that light up. :') And it's funny how the weekday recaps are basically an extended version of "previously, on Big Brother..".

I hope one of the more interesting characters gets a chance to play in the Summer season next year, I would assume that would happen with how much they like to bring people back. My picks would be between Neeley (duh), Justin (not bad eye candy imo and not a twat either) or Alex who appears to have a lot of energy.

Posted by: Aaron. Oct 23 2016, 02:49 AM

LOL at more guys leaving.
I don't know what it is, but I still dislike this Girls Alliance.
YAAAAS at Kryssie being HOH. I love when the power goes back and forth and she really does not seem to give a shit with all the pitches. Those 4 girls were so unpolished.
Alex safe - excellent. Out of all the girls she's my favorite.

I really just hope Scott goes home this week. I think Kryssie may have some tricks up her sleeve tho.

Posted by: J▲hq Oct 23 2016, 05:57 PM

I'm liking everyone with Cornbread and Monte gone really, but I'm glad Shane and Danielle have been split. I loved the Ball Smashers plan of getting Danielle's side to vote her out but ensuring she stayed at the same time :')

Don't mind Scott - hey, he managed to get his target out and that's something. I like how the power is shifting, both within the house but how America is voting, the choice of veto was an interesting care package.

Posted by: Aaron. Oct 30 2016, 05:55 AM

DEAR GOD @ America voting out Neeley over Scott.
Kudos to Scott tho - his tactics worked. He could clearly tell America hates Danielle and wants to go after her.

Posted by: J▲hq Oct 31 2016, 12:52 AM

It's refreshing to see a girl alliance that are working well together, but I hope that the America's nominee twist wraps up soon because the fans have too much power and it's making it impossible to play the game in the traditional sense. Winning HOH doesn't mean much aside from keeping yourself safe, just look at the latest care package :')

Posted by: Aaron. Oct 31 2016, 01:07 AM

America has way too much power. They should either vote for a nominee or have an eviction vote. Not both.
I just saw what this Care Package is. LOL. Guaranteed whoever America puts up this week is gone. 100%.
I do like the Girls Alliance. Really just Morgan and Alex. Don't much care for the other two.
Alex FTW in my books. She'd be a great winner.

Posted by: Aaron. Nov 1 2016, 01:12 AM

I haven't watched the Daily Recaps (usually just Power Watch) so I don't know what's been shown, so I will put the Noms/Veto in Spoilers.
lol @ Danielle's HOH Actually being a success. She put up Shelby and Whitney and America put up Scott. Danielle won the Veto. Someone from "The Other Side" is going home, likely Scott win Shelby's ability to eliminate 3 votes.

Posted by: Aaron. Nov 11 2016, 01:47 AM

This week was JUUUUUICYYYY.
Kudos for Jason for completely taking over Shelby's HOH. The F5 Deal was hilarious.
Disappointed to see Alex evicted - she was the strongest girl, I wanted to see her at the end, but - that's what happens in Big Brother. This week felt like the first real week of Big Brother.

I was also disappointed to see that we didn't get the Double Live Eviction on the Live Show. But I did spoil myself and have a few comments:

WHY DID DANIELLE NOMINATE WHITNEY AND JUSTIN!?!?! WHAT THE HELL?!
Morgan won the Care Package... and was safe... but she could have put up Shelby?!
What the hell?
Next HOH apparently is between Shelby and Jason.
In just reading - Shelby had the fastest time and should have been HOH, but had technical difficulties? Jason had the second fastest time so they're competing tomorrow.
JASON FTW!

Posted by: J▲hq Nov 11 2016, 02:56 PM

The sources I'd been using to stream this haven't updated at all for a couple of weeks. Looks like I've missed a fair bit, America switched sides again or?

Massive shame to hear that Alex has gone, she's definitely the one I'd like to see invited back to play in the Summer.

Posted by: Aaron. Nov 11 2016, 05:35 PM

It's kind of hard to tell, they've really seem to have given Kryssie and Danielle a break. I was disappointed to see Alex go as well. Something must have happened for America to flip on The Ball Smashers. Likely something not really shown on the Weekly Episode. I think them flipping on Whitney had a big part with it.

This (last) week was really a perfect storm.
Shelby won HOH and Jason was given Co-HOH by America.
Jason coaxed Shelby into having her name Whitney as her nominee and Jason nominated Danielle. Jason also saved Justin in the Safety Ceremony (who was Shelby's target) so she couldn't touch him.
America put up Alex, Jason won the veto and because he put up Danielle, he saved her and could name the replacement nominee (Morgan).
To make it even better, Danielle and Jason formed a Fake Final 5 Alliance with Shelby/Alex/Morgan to backdoor Justin. The girls bought it, Jason put up Morgan instead and she called him out at the Veto Meeting - not realizing it was a big joke and that Jason's side was in on it.

Alex/Shelby/Morgan pretty much turned on Whitney and were being very 'Mean Girls' about it all.

This week Care Package is down to Danielle and Justin as well; could be a big advantage for one of them. I can see it likely going to Justin.
