Big Brother: Season 18

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

I have no idea why Tiffany come on this show other than the money.
She has no idea how to play the game of BB, and she hates controversies and confrontations??? lol Really that is what BB is all about!
She needs to go this week, I am so tired of seeing her and her game sucks.
I think very soon they are all going to start going after Paulie.
He is getting way too cocky in front of the house.
They are going to get intimidated by him and want him out soon.

She doesn't know BB. She literally is only on the show cause CBS called her a few weeks before season began and we're basically like "remember that show your sister was on last year? Wanna do it too?". She isn't a fan of BB, they just wanted to bring craziness of Vanessa back without actually bringing Vanessa back yet.

The returning players are some of the worst players in the game this season. I mean, Frank is good comp wise and James has a great social game, but the returning girls are useless.

Frank is good at comps,but how many others can say that about themselves?
James has a great social game, but how many others can say that?
Nicole has a good likeability game, again,how many can say that?

Any of those 3 in the end, has realistic shots of winning, so I wouldn't call that bad players.

I'm glad they brought back people with experience if 90% of the rest of the house had never even watched the show before. You think they could find personalities who are also fans of the show.


Was James a ghost in his first season? Can't remember that long ago.


They are still around, and the guy who started the charge to get them out is still around.

That's what I don't get. You spend who knows how much money on casting(renting out buildings for casting calls,paying abunch of people to watch millions of fan submissions over course of several months, paying others to make the casting decisions) and in the end, majority of those casted never even applied for your own show.

Ironically, I like newbies like Paul more than the fans like Michelle.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Guessing we might see more "random clips" tomorrow, seeing how there's no HOH comp(I'm guessing,seeing how I doubt there's an HOH comp BEFORE the battleback winner returns). Running joke of past few episodes is the lack of Michelle. This episode, muffins got more screentime than Michelle.

Yeah I'm curious to see how they do it, I would assume if they do the HOH comp before the battleback winner returns the returnee is given a week of immunity.

Would be something if the battle back winner got to be HOH right off the bat.

But like you said they could also wait until the returnee enters to do the comp but then the houseguests will know something is up when they don't start the HOH comp on the episode so I tend to think it'll be a comp as normal with the returnee immune this week.

As far as Tiffany goes, I didn't like her at all before this week but now that she is more aligned with Frank and Bridgette she has been much more enjoyable to watch she seems to be playing the game now, it's obviously too late for her now but if she wins the Battle Back I think she could make some noise. The house has been pretty nasty towards her this week and a lot of that didn't make it into the edit for yesterdays show so I can see how her attitude wasn't liked on the episode.

I remember him being on a lot more the first time, he had that weird fauxmance with Meg in addition to the dumb pranks

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

I would agree, he was on his first season a lot more.

He only made it because of his alliance and people like him. They aren't threatened by his game play though. He was loyal to a fault of not making moves to keep him in the game.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Sucks there's no after dark tonight. Is tomorrows comp actually live then, cause why else wouldn't they want to show what happens in the house tonight? Same goes with live feeds too.

In a weird twist, Natalie is now the #1 ranked houseguest on the internet rankings, while Paulie is in last(among current HGs).

As for tonights episode, didn't expect it to be a complete unanimous vote. And Julie starting off the episode being like "we don't even know what's going to happen, houseguests were talking game right before we went live", making it seem like some power shift happens,when nothing did. Really got no idea who's winning the battleback challenge, but Glenn on todays episode lol, going after the vets? That's so 4 weeks ago. But it must be horrible for him being in complete isolation for the past 4 weeks,probably just wanting to go home at this point.

My BB Power Rankings Week 5:

1.Paulie(like I said,he's having that "winner feel" to him. HOH this week as well proved it,and probably would've won veto also if he didn't throw it in finals)
2.Nicole(Even though Tiffany targeted her/Corey,never seemed like there was ever any real plan this week to get Nicole out)
3.James(still flying under the radar so much)
4.Paul(the muffin man lol. Don't see anyone intentionally getting him out anytime soon)
5.Corey(he did win the veto,even if it was handed to him. He beat Tiffany fairly in it)
6.Zakiyah(Paulie playing the best game so far I'd say,and Zakiyah is his main ally)
7.Frank(As annoying as people find him,I think if he somehow makes it to the finals, he does deserve to win based on how aggressive he's being with everyone at times)
8.Natalie(Since separating herself from the Vic/Jozea stuff,and now Bronte gone too, she's alot better in the house. James coaching her helps too)
9.Michelle(even if muffins get more TV time than she does,she's still at least strategizing)
10.Davonne(slowly starting to have others turning on her as well. Doubt within her own alliances about her, won't end well for her game)
11.Bridgette(she's still in the game)
12.Tiffany(only way I'd want her to even win battleback is if she faces Jozea)

We must not be on the same page because I was assuming the battle back comp would begin tonight and they didn't want to spoil it since the results would be shown tomorrow.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

I'm starting to think that too, comp probably does happen today or something.

And an interesting thing I heard that was mentioned on the feeds earlier in the week...the Davonne hairflip moment was partially scripted. HGs were talking about it on the feeds. She actually did do a hairflip, but BB wanted them to re-shoot it so it looked like a subtle flip towards Tiffany.

Not the first(or last) time BB scripts a moment that happens in the house. I actually saw it on after dark one season where production was flat out on the speakers during a moment in the house and was like "lets do that again" and everyone went back into "position", almost like they were filming an actual scene on a TV show.

And from what the vets are saying, seems like BB goes on speakers alot more this season than in their prior seasons(one of the main things they say..."you are not allowed to talk about your diary room sessions with other houseguests"). That's nothing new(the not allowed to talk about DR), but I'll still never understand why not.

I'm looking forward to reading your conspiracy theories about why it was REALLY not broadcast live

Can't use it as a strategy, won't be aired since it was second week in the house (maybe third) but Day came out of the diary room and was talking to Michelle, Nicole, and Zakiyah by the shower and she said something along the lines of "have you ever heard something you weren't supposed to hear in the DR" and proceeded to tell them something about Tiffany that she picked up in her session.

Shortly after that she was called back to the diary room and they actually made her go to each of the girls she told and tell them that she made it up and that she wasn't told anything about Tiffany in the diary room and that she was sorry about using production as a strategy.

Not sure why they can't try to make others believe things about the diary room either but I guess they don't want players making it appear production openly influences the game even though they do at times.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Wasn't it originally the first 4 house guests evicted part of the Battle Back? Now it's 5 all of a sudden. Production probably want to give Tiffany a chance to get back in.

It was always 5.

No it was always 5 from the first time Julie mentioned it.
I love that they are having a competition on tonight to let one back in.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Don't know why I thought it was 4.

What was with Paulie's hair? Did he let Paul shave it off so they looked alike?

BB does have a button specifically to say "you are not allowed to use production as part of your strategy", which is obviously understandable, and HGs shouldn't be doing that at all.

But I don't get the regular diary room part though. Wednesday night for example, some HGs were just sitting around talking, and Frank brought up how he hadn't been in the DR yet to record his goodbye messages. And then BB comes on the speaker and is like "Frank,you are not allowed to talk about your diary room session" and Franks like "What diary room session? I haven't even been in there yet!". Even random times too people get called out on it. Like one time Nicole was talking about her BB16 diary room catchphrases(that usually started with "suuuper"), and BB called her out for talking about her diary room sessions....
