BB day 20

While waiting for the recorded POV results on tomorrows CBS show, (Paulie removed Paul from the block and put up Victor), and we wait for Victor's eviction on Thursday, the HGs continue to amuse us.


Big Brother 18: They Said What? Week 2
By: Branden | July 5, 2016 at 11:38 AM EDT







Another Big Brother 18 week, another batch of ridiculous things said.

The good news is that someone must have told Bronte what happens when you say racist things, so we don’t have to report any more on that. But the HGs continue to open their mouths and show us just how smart they aren’t. Especially when it comes to Big Brother.
For example, we’ve got Paul talking to Head of Household Paulie about how he’s going up as a pawn but Victor is the actual target. Paulie says the plan is to backdoor Victor and Paul says “I don’t think I’m understanding your terminology. What do you mean by backdooring Vic?” I realize this recruit only caught one season of Big Brother in sequester, but did he even pay any attention? (Also, no need to bring up that the use of “backdoor” by HGs is rarely correct. We all know that).
Corey seems to have a little bit better grasp on the game, but life skills not so much. He can’t even think of what to call the washing machine. He calls it a “laundry thing,” but that’s not the most ridiculous thing he said this week. When Paulie asked what nationality he is he said “caucasian.”
Frank makes his first appearance here while referring to how good a cuddler James seems to be. “I wish I could just remove our genitalia and just cuddle with you for a little while,” he says. Where’s #NotGayCorey when you need him?
And it wouldn’t be an edition of They Said What without an appearance from Natalie. This time around she’s laying in bed with James and asks “Do you ever squish people’s eyeballs just to feel their eyes?” James tells her he has not but asks if she has an eyeball fetish. She simply says “yes.”
What are the most ridiculous things you’ve heard come out of the HG’s mouths lately?

I'd be mad if he tries to boot Tiffany before Bronte or at any time actually. Tiffany isn't playing with the fire in the belly that her sister did which is not such a bad thing at this point in the season, but the false accusations against her should be countered, if she realizes them,and she should or at least go hunting them down.



Big Brother 18: Frank Camtalks Vote Plans & Next Evictions
By: Matthew Boyer | July 5, 2016 at 1:15 PM EDT







Frank Eudy took advantage of a little alone time this morning in the Big Brother 18 backyard and shared his thoughts with Feedsters on the upcoming eviction vote and who he wants to see go next.

Victor had just been chatting with Frank when he turned and headed back inside. Frank turned to the camera and gave his Hi’s to family before going through his latest thoughts on the game.
Frank is expecting a full sweep against Victor with a 10-0 vote on Thursday night. That’s what I’m counting from our perspective as well. It’s going to take something big to shake this plan considering Frank isn’t even worried enough to change the target this week to the vulnerable Tiffany.
So what’s next for Frank and company? Bronte and Tiffany are his top picks and says he’d go with either one for the next eviction. Things have been running according to plan so far, says Frank, but he admits that’s no guarantee it’ll keep going that way.
Tiffany has moved up Frank’s target list thanks to word coming to him from the likes of Da’Vonne yesterday telling Frank that Tiffany is leading the calls for his eviction and seeking support around the house. True, but only partially true as the Fatal Five collective discussed this idea before putting the blame on Tiffany.
A little later Paulie has joined Frank and they’re talking about what needs to be done next. Frank tells Paulie about what he heard regarding Tiffany coming for him and both agree she’s got to go before that idea can take root. Flashback to 9:19 AM BBT 7/5 to hear more of their talk.
Previously we heard Frank suggesting a Roadkill nomination would be the way to go with Tiffany so it was anonymous, but now he’s saying if he gets HoH then he’ll put her up right away and let her crack under the pressure.
Frank suggests Tiffany should have waited until she held HoH before launching this campaign against him. I’m just surprised it’s not putting her in more danger considering they could probably make her eviction happen this week if they decided it needed to happen.
Takeaway here is that this week has already been decided and they’re not going to waver on it. Next week though, we could get some fireworks as the Eight Pack is showing signs of stress fractures and potential infighting. Time for the remaining Revolution newbies to take cover and let this play out.
What do you think of Frank’s plan? Good idea to go after Tiffany before she can get him or are they all just playing in to Da’Vonne’s plans instead of doing what’s best for their own game?

John is probably right about this situation. But there have been instances in past seasons where HGs in the Diary Room could overhear production people talking outside. No advantages ever came from that but Prod. probably took steps to prevent it in the future.




'Big Brother 18' Spoilers: Did Da'Vonne Get Secret Information from the Diary Room?

Big Brother 18 may not have explosive fights inside the house, but there's a whole lot of scheming and plotting behind closed doors. And one conversation in particular from Saturday made fans suspicious that there may be a conspiracy behind the scenes.

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains Big Brother 18 spoilers.

The controversy began with Da'Vonne, Zakiyah, Nicole and Michelle in the Have-Not room discussing whether they can really trust Tiffany in the Fatal 5. They essentially decided she's on the outside and it's just the four of them.

Da'Vonne talked to the other three girls about going to "the secret room" and getting "a piece of information you weren't supposed to get" regarding Tiffany. It wasn't a very subtle code as Da'Vonne was talking about overhearing something when she went into the diary room that led her to believe Tiffany can not be trusted.

A short while later, Da'Vonne was called into the DR, presumably scolded, and came back out to apologize. She had to go to all of the girls she talked to and explicitly state that the diary room did not feed her any information about the game.



For those of you who don't watch the live feeds, we never get to see what happens inside the diary room and the HGs are expressly forbidden from talking about anything that is said in the DR. In the past, people have also gotten in trouble for using the diary room as a strategy, which is what Da'Vonne was doing.

On the surface, this could ignite conspiracy theories about producers trying to manipulate the game and help out Da'Vonne. However, despite the fact that I'm an avid Big Brother conspiracy theorist (I still think production rigged season 13 as much as possible to help Rachel Reilly win), that's probably not what's going on here.

Past HGs have talked about how, in the DR, the people working on the show will typically ask a bunch of different questions to try to get the most drama from a situation. Savvy players can definitely intuit from those questions the direction the editors are going with the storylines (it's one of the main reasons many of the season 15 HGs knew that the racist comments were definitely becoming a part of the actual show).

If I had to guess, I'd say it's entirely possible that the diary room asked Da'Vonne a question that may have made her jump to a certain conclusion, but it's very unlikely that they actually gave her any real information. It's all just Da'Vonne's imagination working overtime. For instance, maybe someone in the DR asked her a question about Paulie and Tiffany both being siblings of former HGs, and Da'Vonne assumed that means they are definitely working together in a secret Final 2 alliance.

However, all of this may be moot. Two days later, on Tuesday, Da'Vonne was talking to Zakiyah, Nicole and Michelle once again, this time to discuss trying to evict Frank next week and needing to mend fences with Tiffany to get it done. Perhaps there's hope for the Fatal 5 after all.

Is Frank Playing a Too Dangerous Game on 'Big Brother 18'?

In the first (televised) week of Big Brother 18, returning player Frank Eudy has made quite an impression. Frank was only really considered a "fan favorite" because he was a good player in a sea of dummies in Big Brother 14. In Big Brother 18, he has proved he can play with the heavyweights. Right now, Frank is probably in the best position but that is because he is currently on both sides of the house. Though he is top dog now, Frank's game is going to come crumbling down if something doesn't change soon. 


Big Brother 18 Recap: Paulie Starts to Target Victor >>>


Double Dealing

It is rather impressive how Frank has made it from one of the dreaded veterans to a confidant of both sides of the house. Frank should be a threat to anyone because of his history of Big Brother competition dominance. Yet both sides of the house have, more or less, welcomed Frank with open arms.

It's not that hard to figure out why -- Frank is a really charming and sociable guy. It's obvious, just watching on TV, that Frank isn't just pretending to be likable for strategy purposes. He is a genuinely affable guy who people want to be around. 

Frank has leaned into that reputation, though, and used it to his Big Brother advantage. He knows that people like him and is capitalizing on that fact. It's an aggressive strategy and that can lead to a lot of problems down the line for Frank. The problem isn't that Frank is not the only houseguest playing the game hard. It's that he is the only houseguest who is really trying to play both sides of the house. 

The Summer of Big Brother Babies: Brenchel, Dan, Jordan and More >>>

Da'Vonne and Zakiyah tried a similar strategy but the moment that Jozea was evicted their true colors came out. Da'Vonne and Zakiyah declared their allegiance to their real alliance with their votes and while that puts them in a dangerous situation temporarily, it will probably pay off in the long run. Da'Vonne and Zakiyah have been upfront about their "real" allegiances. 

While we, as the audience, know that Frank is loyal to the 8-Pack, not all of the houseguests might see it that way. Furthermore, because Frank is playing both sides, it suggests that he doesn't feel entirely secure in his alliance to keep him safe. If he thinks he can leverage the minority alliance to get himself in a better position, he most likely will do that in a heartbeat. The majority alliance will probably see that fact within time.

Beware the (Mama) Day


It's hard to imagine Frank running into many problems with the newbies. If there is one thing the newbie alliance has proved in Big Brother 18, it's that they are utterly clueless about almost everything. The newbie "brain trust" of Bronte, Paul and Victor are not playing to win the grand Big Brother prize. They are playing for the much more disgraceful competition of the worst Big Brother alliance ever. 


Frank's big challenge will be trying to convince the rest of his actual allies that he isn't a threat to their games. Nearly all the members of the 8-Pack, with perhaps the exception of Tiffany and Corey, are excellent and shrewd Big Brother players. This also means they are incredibly paranoid. While Frank can probably charm dummies like Corey, he is going to have a real hard time convincing Da'Vonne that he doesn't threaten her game. 

A big reason why Da'Vonne was eliminated so early in her initial season was because she played so aggressively. Da'Vonne predicted a lot of the big twists and alliances before they happened and made it clear that she knew these secrets. Da'Vonne won't settle for Frank playing both sides for long in Big Brother 18. It doesn't help that Da'Vonne has marshaled a mini-alliance within the 8-Pack of the Fatal 5. This is all-female alliance and by virtue of his genitals, Frank is not invited. 

Though Nicole and James shouldn't be completely discounted, it's pretty easy to see Frank and Da'Vonne as the two leaders of the 8-Pack. It's hard to imagine a scenario where they would make a Final 2 deal, so eventually they are going to come to head and one of them will be eliminated. Knowing how paranoid, aggressive and smart Da'Vonne is, she will probably have won that game before Frank even knows they are playing. 

But what do you think? Is Frank's game in trouble? Will Da'Vonne target him next? Can Frank stand up against Da'Vonne and her Fatal 5? Who do you think is playing the best game so far in Big Brother 18?


Big Brother 18 airs Sundays and Wednesdays at 8pm and Thursdays at 9pm on CBS.
