I'm watching BB14 for the first time instead of 18 :lol: 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.

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

Mike is also awful. Dan is so much better as a returning winner, Mike thinks the world owes him everything because he won before :drama: 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 :lol:

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.

^ 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.

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

If Nicole wins I'm just gonna pretend BB16 Nicole won :lol: 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.

 

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.

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.

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 :lol:

 

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 :lol:

 

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 :lol: 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 :kink:)

 

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 :lol:)

 

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 :/)

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 Day v Paulie fight! *.* 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! :o

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.

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.

"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

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

 

 

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

 

Pitbull:"

 

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

 

 

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!! :')

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.
