Big Brother: Season 18

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Lol,forgot to mention the other funny moments, Corey's Harry Potter dreams, Paul and Victor making fun of Nicole's small town, and Natalie unintentionally admitting just how much she's "dated around". Sunday episodes always filled with these random moments, even more so during later part of season.

Also, it just feels so awkward seeing commercials for next season of BB in the middle of this season.

Corey sleep talking about Harry Potter killed me.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Yeah, that was great. They teased her how they would have to forfeit every baseball game due to lack of players.

Lol. The funniest was when they're talking about taking tests,and when giving results back,the teacher is like "somebody in this room didn't pass", and then look around the room and she's the only one in it lol. And coming back for 10 year reunion, and it's just her showing up lol.

Corey sleep talking about Harry Potter killed me.

Lol "Potter, Potter, Harry Potter, world of Potter.". It's like he's been possessed by Voldemort in his sleep.

Weird scheduling, thanks for the heads up. I'll check my dvr to see if it is in sync with that.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Natalie got a villain edit on this one. Complete 180 on how she's been edited all season long.

The veto comp had a BB Canada feel to it, not as surprising since I believe one of the BB Canada people is working for BB USA now. A comp that advertises something, and the comp itself is themed after the advertisement. That's what BB Canada has done quite a number of times throughout their 4 seasons.

A moment in the house they won't acknowledge on TV, but it's fairly big to explain that Natalie-James blowup we saw near later part of the episode....

Spoiler

There was someone who had a megaphone and went by the BB house and started shouting some stuff. Most notably they were talking about how James-Nicole had a F2 deal and it was made before season even began. So of course, that made Natalie real suspicious of James and it's why she started questioning everything about him.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Natalie didn't act like a villian but they definitely did try to make her look bad. You never know the order of footage unless you watch/read feeds, but she has been telling James she wished she didn't put Victor up for a while. She just told others about it.

She did tell him to not work with Nicole or don't talk to her again. She is probably hurt by him not telling her about it and it causing her to maybe going home.

My response to the episode: poor James. That whole showmance was questionable from the start, and now it seems to be breaking down as Natalie is willing to throw him under the bus to save herself, while James was willing to give himself up just to save her. She's been duping everyone this whole time? Secret genius type stuff?

My response to the spoiler:

Spoiler

wow, that changes a lot. Is it true? Did James and Nicole really have a deal? Did everyone else know about the megaphone guy? If so, why would they react the way they did after Natalie reacted the way she did to James with this "knowledge"? Was James not aware of the megaphone guy? He seemed pretty oblivious. Natalie was the only one to hear this stuff and didn't share the info with anyone?

Response to your response....

And James/Nicole have been caught/got in trouble for talking about a pre-game deal they had. Apparently they made some kind of deal to share money with everyone who made it to the F4(they made it with just them 2,but whoever is also in F4 will prob also get money). All of this gets explained/referenced in the link I posted above.

If it is true though, then James stays tomorrow, and whoever wins HOH will probably try getting Paul or Vic out so the F4 is Nicole,Corey,James and one of Paul/Vic. Which could cause drama in F4 since Nicole would want F3 to be her,Corey,James. And Corey would want F3 to be him,Nicole,Paul or Vic.

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
Yes! I'm super-girly and athletic, and will fake everyone out with my kindness. I’ll act very innocent, stay low-key for the first week, and won't win the first challenge. Then, I will start showing I'm a powerful force not to be messed with. I will have an alliance with only three women because women suck at this game and I was an NFL cheerleader for the New York Jets and know how to deal with large groups of women.

I will also add men to our alliance, since everyone will want to be in an alliance with me. I'm very kind, but I'm very tough and have street smarts because I was raised by a single mother. I've had to work my whole life and helped my mom pay her bills when I was in high school. People won't expect how much adversity I faced and how tough I am because I'm so pretty.

From an interview before the season, also she clearly had a strategy to latch onto a male early on as she was briefly in a showmance with Victor before he decided he didn't want that, then she was going for Corey but he ended up with Nicole, and then she winds up with James. Shes a smarter player than she led on and that was part of her strategy going into the game.

Regarding spoiler:

Spoiler

Yeah the cast list did leak before the season so they knew they'd be in there and did make a pre-game alliance. As far as megaphone guy, Natalie, James, Victor, and Paul were outside when he did it, Nicole and Corey were in the house. Not sure why this hasn't sparked the house to flip as you'd think they'd want to break up Nicole/James but I guess you figure even if Paul votes James out, ultimately Corey and Nicole hold the power and Corey is going to do what Nicole wants and that will be to keep James.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

No reason to think it'd be anything but a 3-0 vote tonight. Would be stupid on either side to go against the other,especially at this point in game.

If Paul wins hoh, he puts up 2 of Nicole,corey,(j/n)
If Nicole or Corey win, they put up 2 of Paul,vic,(j/n)
If J/N win, they put up 2 of Nicole,corey,paul,vic

Based on the spoiler tag discussion,that likely means:

Spoiler

Nicole/Corey/James put up Paul/Vic. Paul puts up James and one of Nicole/Corey

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Really looks like Corey is gonna end up being the HOH based on where they left off on the episode. Though this challenge looks alot easier than the past versions of it. Tea cup with a major slip and slide and people falling left and right for entire comp. This one, an already big scoop for the butter, and they put no real foamy substances on the surface. Who knows, maybe this is the one time where going after bigger scoop might actually help someone, cause in past seasons, this has proved to be completely useless.


lol sidenote, Victor really does have his share of funny moments in the house. I was watching after dark one time and everyone was talking about life after BB. Victors prediction on his life was funny. Being stuck in BB mode for quite some time, asking his mom if the storage room will be filled up with food on Friday, or wait until after the comp. And then randomly going up to his room, walking into his closet, and doing diary room sessions,and everything thinking he's going crazy lol.


If you told me when this season first started that Paul & Victor would be 2 of the final 5 members,and that they have real good chances of not only making the finals,but winning, I'd probably think this season sucks, but they've actually become 2 of my faves of this season.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

I know some of you guys are putting spoilers, but I'm boldly not going to put it because what you guys are talking about won't air on the show.

I really don't believe James and Nicole had a pregame alliance. James literally thought he was going home on Friday and most of Saturday. He was prepared to leave. If he had that alliance, he would have felt safe for the whole week since Nicole and Corey will always vote as one and he only needed their votes to stay. He only felt like his odds of staying were increased once Corey gave him the Strength and Honor chest sign Saturday night.

As for the Natalie situation. She named dropped James in the Paul and Victor conversation, but her main intent was to apologize to Paul and Victor for backstabbing them two week ago. She even talked to the Sitting Ducks the next morning and said she wanted James to stay over her.

After James unloaded on Natalie, he went to apologize to her and she told him the reason why she's been cold towards him because she already liked him too much and she was scared of liking him more and the reason behind being scared was because she was scared of being hurt from a relationship. She also mentioned she's from New York and he's from Texas, so she might be implying long distance would put a strain in their relationship.

I think the combination of realizing her game was done and reality setting in with her situation with James made her sulk during her last few days in the Big Brother house.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

BB Power Rankings Week 12:
1.Victor(Who knows at this point how the jury will vote, they have big reasons to vote Paul over Victor,and Victor over Paul. Giving Victor slight edge simply cause of comp wins,though in "modern era" of BB/Survivor, that means very little to jury at times)
2.Paul(Anything but a Paul-Victor F2 I'd be surprised at)
3.Nicole(If she makes it to the F2, I could see her getting destroyed by the jury,but people still vote for her)
4.Corey(Even if he makes it to the end,could just see him getting stuck with that "Nicoles Showmance" label and nobody treats him seriously)
5.James(If he manages to stay,he really needs to be the winning duos BFF if he wants to survive)
6.Natalie(Probably her worst week in the house since the "spy girls era")

They're slowly releasing some info about the fall season of BB. Basically what I gathered from reading all of the info so far, it'll be available 24/7, including every single comp(so no more production riggage accusations..unless we actually see production riggage on the feeds lol). The show aspect of it, it'll just be a single 1 hour episode a week.

So basically if you want to follow along with the show, you need to watch the feeds, or just read up on what happened(which will be kind of useless if you just read up on what happens for 95% of the time,and watch the 1 hour show which sums up the other 5%).

Like many others, I'll watch the first episode just to see how it is, but really not that excited for the show in general. Going into the season premiere of a show with negative expectations isn't a good thing for viewers or the show itself. CBS has already put Amazing Race in "limbo", and now doing this to Big Brother, hopefully this isn't gonna be the slow death of their "big 3" reality shows.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

I'm hoping it boosts the quality of the game, smaller prize and no tv hoping it'll be a more diverse cast (like the older seasons) and people who want to play the game and aren't there to get fame first and foremost.

I think I read somewhere they will also have daily recap episodes, wouldn't be long but little summary of the days happenings.
