BB day 63

Ideally, of course, Paulie doesn't have the Round Trip Ticket and will be heading out the door for good on Thursday. But even if he does have it he'll be the eviction target again for the following week. Of course an HOH or POV win would protect him then, but eventually his shenanigans will make him a permanent target until he's gone permanently.



‘Big Brother 18’: Final Chance At Round Trip Ticket This Week

This week on Big Brother 18 marks the final chance for one of the Houseguests to reveal their Big Brother Airlines ticket in the hopes of a Round Trip back in to the game after a would be eviction is cut-short. Will we see it come in to play this week?

Paulie tries to sniff out his ticket

Despite some fans’ concerns of a rigged system there’s really no reasonable expectation of that going on in the game. Everyone has a card with the same chances at returning to the game. With four cards revealed so far we’ve dropped down to a one in eight shot at the magic turn and return trip.

Every week so far we’ve heard claims this whole thing is rigged. Frank was supposedly going to have the Round Trip card because it was rigged. Then Da’Vonne was supposed to have it because it was rigged. Zakiyah would have it to protect Paulie because it was… you get the point.

Now we’re preparing for Paulie to head out the door as top target for eviction this week. Eight cards left and his could be the one as the other seven cards are just as likely. There’s no real way for us to know beforehand if Paulie has the magic ticket, but production definitely knows since the cards are all numbered.

The mystery Friday episode seemed suspiciously flexible as it was scheduled for the day after the end of the RT twist but no actual details were given regarding what it would feature. This seemed as though CBS could have been reserving that decision until they knew what to expect.

Now we know Friday’s show will feature a concert by Ziggy Marley and the return of Jessie Godderz to host a carnival themed competition event. It was taped on Monday night which means both Paulie and Corey are included in the footage despite our expectations that one of them will be voted out and off to Jury.

Part of the carnival comp included the chance to win powers in the game which allegedly included an advantage in the upcoming HoH competition. So what if Paulie won it and then was voted out with that extra power in his hands? That’d be a waste. But really either of the noms could have won the power but only one could have the RT so I’m going to guess production was okay with that comp advantage potentially walking out the door with the evictee.

Maybe this special comp episode is hinting at production knowing Paulie has the RT and is coming back. Everyone out here knew Paulie’s game was over when he lost that Veto comp and locking down the noms on Monday made that even more of a certainty.

We can speculate and guess, but really there’s no way for us to know for sure and we’re going to just have to wait for Thursday night to see whether or not Paulie has that ticket and will head back inside after being voted out.

Do you hope Paulie has the ticket? It’d be dramatic for sure. Or are you ready for his time to be over and shuffle on off to the Jury house for a few weeks until finale night? Share your thoughts below

'Big Brother 18' Sets Ziggy Marley Concert for Special Friday Episode

For the second time this season, Big Brother 18 is adding a special Friday night episode to the schedule. However, don't expect this one, airing Friday, August 19 at 8pm, to feature another Battle Back competition.

CBS has confirmed that Friday's episode of Big Brother 18 will feature a county fair including a special backyard concert from Grammy-winning reggae artist Ziggy Marley. If you watch the live feeds, you know this took place Monday night.

Besides the musical performance, the county fair will include plenty of games for the HGs to play to win prizes, punishments and even power. It's unclear exactly what that means, but we do know that Jessie Godderz, aka Mr. PEC-Tacular, will be a part of it. He tweeted out the announcement, including a photo of him standing next to a dunk tank. Getting to dunk Jessie is undoubtedly a prize worth playing for.

The special Friday episode is even more confusing since it will air after Thursday's eviction. By all accounts, it seems like Paulie will be evicted, but he'll still be a part of the county fair. Could this be a sign that production knows he has the Round Trip Ticket and will still be in the house? Those tickets expire on Thursday night and given the length of the season, at least one HG needs to return to the game in order for it to work out (unless there's a Rewind button coming up). This is perhaps the best clue that Production knows that Paulie has the Round Trip Ticket.

It will also be interesting to see what this "power" is. Big Brother 18 already has the Care Packages and now something new is being added? How many twists can they possibly cram into a single season?
