Day 29 - Wednesday, July 13

Smackdown

Some prank resulted in Zakiyah effortlessly taking down Paul, and that was the high point of the afternoon, along with Natalie cleaning the kitchen floor

Yesterday's Save Tiffany waffles seem to have come to nothing, like they do, and Tiffany's once again expected to walk the plank.. she continued her awkward social rounds, kind of, and Da'Vonne and others continued to let her think she's safe.. some are saying how unfair and cold-hearted this is, but Tiffany knew what she was getting into more than many of them.. I haven't heard any real campaigning from her, just repeated requests for reassurance - I'd like to see her act on her paranoia and actually fight to stay, but it doesn't seem like that'll be happening

Most of the rest of them have set their sights on Frank and/or Bridgette next week, but Nicole and Corey are still thinking Frank's their best bet to cozy up with, as of now.. Bronte said she'd been planning on seeing a therapist for social anxiety this summer - I hope that was just empty patter, because the BB habitat is a very bizarre place to end up if that's true


Cookiegate

They were shown detailed pictures to memorize for the HOH comp, or so they assumed.. I think it'd be more fun if they were for Roadkill comp - they'd forget a lot of their studies if eviction/HOH/noms come along first.. the pictures had international city themes and featuring Glenn, Jozea, Victor in various scenes and settings.. most of them studied hard amidst the usual gametalk, paranoia, and gossip

Apprentice baker Paul mixed up some cookie concoctions, then stormed off saying Bridgette (his baking mentor) had ruined them by adding too much flour to the dough.. I think the entire lot was thrown out.. that got retold multiple times, as you can imagine

Paul and others told Da'Vonne that Frank said he's going after her, and Corey went around telling people that Da'Vonne is going after Paulie.. Corey also picked up the upstairs balcony phone and left a message saying hi to his family and friends(?).. the tension was pretty thick for awhile but it faded away a bit, like it does.. most of them continued to avoid Tiffany, except when she was helping them study the picture details

I'd have said Tiffany was still going but then Michelle, Nicole, Paulie, Corey, Zakiyah agreed to vote to evict Bronte, and to not tell anyone about it (ha!) - Flashback 7/13 10.01pm.. they told Tiffany

Day 28 - Tuesday, July 12

Flips and flops

James, Da'Vonne and Michelle discussed possibly flipping things to keep Tiffany, likely in lieu of Paul and mostly to thwart Frank.. James said he could get Natalie's vote but they'd still need one more.. Tiffany joined them and said she didn't understand all the flip-flopping in recent seasons - campaigning clearly isn't her strong suit

Anytime the feeds are slow is a good time to do some shopping but especially today - it's Amazon Prime Day for both USA and Canada! If you use my Amazon portal it helps me a bit and doesn't cost you anything extra.. many thanks!

The camera came out while most were asleep, but a few of them went vertical to do their selfies.. Da'Vonne brought the Save Tiffany/Blindside Frank plan to Nicole and Zakiyah, and they seemed to be onboard.. Nicole and Da'Vonne told each other about their F2 deals with Frank - Da'Vonne said he came to her on Day 2, and we saw him go to Nicole on Day 14 (Nicole told Da'Vonne it was earlier)

Zakiyah and Nicole took the plan to Paulie and Corey respectively, but neither liked it much - Paulie because of Vanessa and I don't know what Corey's problem was.. Nicole and James exchanged notes and while each was seemingly onboard earlier, they didn't seem to be able to agree on saving Tiffany or whether to evict Bronte or Paul if they did.. James finally said he'd go along with it if they had enough votes.. Nicole, James, Corey, Michelle, Paulie, Zakiyah had a backyard summit at the hammock, while Frank sat in the kitchen almost certainly aware of it, and HOH Bridgette and the forgotten nominees Bronte and Paul slaved over the stove

James reported that meeting to Da'Vonne who was annoyed because Nicole and Zakiyah "had to run it by" Corey and Paulie, and Nicole later told Corey she doesn't want to piss off Frank, she wants to keep him around, and Da'Vonne's her target.. everyone Tiffany and Paul asked assured each of them they're safe (I didn't see Bronte ask anyone).. basically it was waffles everywhere for them, and lots of popcorn for us

Day 27 - Monday, July 11

Getting comfy

Or not, in Corey's case.. he did some more contortions in the bumper car while flirting with Nicole, as capped by @UGotBronx for Hamsterwatch Forum.. in the morning he got scolded by Big Brother for trying to catch a nap on one of the regular beds.. Corey's been griping about not eating too, and he's only a couple days into his Have-notness.. I was thinking/hoping the sleeping conditions might encourage him to sleepwalk, as he promised us pre-season - that's looking like false advertising at this point, and I've added a countdown to the left sidebar

Bridgette did not use her veto, so Paul, Tiffany, Bronte remain on the block, with Tiffany the target as of now.. after the meeting, Tiffany asked Da'Vonne and Michelle if she should campaign and they basically told her probably not/if she wants to - whether Tiffany hears the alarms going off or not, remains to be seen

Nicole and Michelle made a cake for Zakiyah's birthday, and Frank told them they shouldn't use vegetable oil in it, and they should wait to frost it when it's cool.. that added more fuel to the Evict Frank Plan, and retells carried on throughout the day.. the cake turned out fine, Zakiyah dished it up into coffee filters, and everyone loved it

I think everyone now knows Frank was the first and third Roadkill, but I don't think Bronte/Natalie and Bridgette have let each other know they know yet.. ditto with the Evict Frank Plan for next week.. also, many of them now think Frank was the hinky vote that Paul cast for his buddy Victor last week, common sense be damned.. meanwhile, Nicole told Corey that she wants to keep Frank around for now so he'll get Da'Vonne out

Zakiyah's birthday celebration carried on, but in a low key, boozeless kind of way.. I shut them off early

Previously on Biiiiiig Brother! Another crazy twisty-twist turned the house upside down! It's the wildest season ever! Never a dull moment!

PS All kidding aside, kudos for putting #AssSlapGate on Sunday's show, and for doing it timely and accurately. That isn't always the BB way, and it was very much appreciated. Okay, back to the kidding now.

Won: Immunity 1st 2 evictions
TEAM UNICORN

He wasn't the best and he wasn't the worst, but his roomies decided he had to get gone. He thought being on BB will get him show biz jobs and social media followers, but so are most of them and that's never been a deal-killer in the house before. He was a solid member of The Revolution (buffoons) along with Jozea and Paul, but Paul was the only one who distanced himself from that handicap in time. I don't have much else on Victor since the feeds were almost always on vets or siblings, but he'll get a shot at revival and maybe he'll make it back.





Won: Nothing
TEAM BIG SISTER

One of the most delusional hamsters ever (and that's saying something), he was convinced he owned the house, he was the messiah of the newbies, the savior, the sanctuary, and the next Mario Lopez. He wore his doggie comp suit for days, but mostly he just wore underpants. His gametalks with Paul and Victor were pure comedy since they had no clue whatsoever how far out of every loop they were, and The Jozea and Paul Talk Show concluded with the two of them roaming the house looking for a camera that worked. Jozea's shtick got old fast for many, but he was feeds gold for trainwreck fans like myself.





Won: $2,500
TEAM FREAKAZOID

I didn't like having to combine an intro with an obit, but that's how the dog biscuit crumbles. He seemed like a fun guy with potential for fun feeds, especially his admission that he'd be 'willing to flirt if necessary' but he also might have gotten into heated political discussions, and BB is not the place for that. He didn't technically get Jodi'd since he got to compete, but gone before feeds is never good, and neither is trial by combat. Too bad the token older/regular person/fan got the first boot but young, pretty, hormonal hamsters are all the rage anymore.

Big Brother After Dark is on POP and airs Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday midnight to 3am, Tuesday 11pm to 3am, Thursday 1am to 3am. The aired blocks are recorded earlier on the same night.

HOH's team members have immunity from nomination all week. Unlike HOH, the Roadkill winner can nominate someone from his/her team.

HOH names the renom if veto is used on one of his/her nominees. If the Roadkill nominee comes off, Roadkill winner names the renom.

BB18 prizes are the same: $500k for the winner and $50k for 2nd place. Stipend for the others is $1,000 per week again, including pre-show hotel and jury sequester. Siblings might and veterans definitely get more.

The habitat has 87 HD cameras (up seven) and over 100 microphones.

The recorded in-house announcements are the voice of producer Don Wollman. He and Julie Chen are the only staffers who have been there since Big Brother 1.
