BB day 75

We will see all this on tonight's CBS show. If Nicole sticks to her plan it looks like Michelle will be evicted. This may be the best choice given that Michelle is a Super Fan which can be dangerous in the later stages of a season, but Paul could be better at winning comps. So it comes down to Nicole's dislike of Michelle and vice versa Retribution and animosity are always the desired motivators on BB

'Big Brother 18' Spoilers: Who Won the Week 10 Power of Veto?

Senior Writer, BuddyTV

After this week, there are only three more Power of Veto competitions left on Big Brother 18. We've had five men win the PoV in a row, so is this week a sixth?

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains Big Brother 18 spoilers.

Nicole Is the New HoH and Victor Is Back>>

She Nominated Paul and Michelle>>

Victor, Corey and James were also picked to play.

Nicole won the Power of Veto!

For the first time in two seasons, she actually won a PoV comp. Now she has all of the power and, more likely than not, it won't be used. She is probably going to keep the nominations the same, though that could result in an uncomfortable tied vote. Paul is already scheming to get her to use it on him.

It was the Stay/Fold competition with a Christmas theme. Victor was out first and Michelle almost won it.

As of now, James and Natalie want to evict Paul while Victor and Corey seem to be in favor of evicting Michelle, which would give Nicole even more power this week to make the tie-breaker decision. She's seemed pretty confident in wanting to take out Michelle, so I doubt anything will change it.

Corey Wins the Final Care Package>>

The Have-Nots

This week's Have-Nots are the two HGs who fell off first in the HoH competition, Corey and Victor. They also get seaweed and squid, which no one is happy about. This is Corey's fourth time as a Have-Not and Victor's second week in a row.

FUN FACTS

-James and Natalie are now the only HGs left who haven't won the Power of Veto.

-This is the first season ever where the HoH has also won the Power of Veto FIVE times (Paulie, Bridgette, Corey and Victor all did it as well).

-Nicole is the 30th person to win HoH and PoV in the same week. However, she is only the 13th woman to do it.

-Corey is only the fourth HG ever to be a Have-Not four times in one season. The others were season 11's Michele Noonan and season 15's Elissa Slater and Helen Kim, making him the first man to do it.

I'll keep the live feeds long enough to see how this online version works out. No clue yet as to who the HGs will be. That could make or break the whole concept. While it can be interesting to see lunatic, mentally unstable HGs on the regular show and see how long it takes for them to be evicted, it might not be so entertaining to see those examples constantly on live feeds. We can expect at least a pure narcissism driven "diva" , male or female, which is often a staple on the regular shows. They can be entertaining if they take themselves seriously enough.

Big Brother Fall Season To Feature “100% Live Comps On Feeds”
By: Matthew Boyer | August 28, 2016 at 5:30 PM EDT

When Big Brother goes digital this fall with the first ever online-only version of Big Brother US (don’t worry, Big Brother 19 will be back on CBS TV in the summer of 2017) there are going to be a lot of great improvements that fans have long requested.

One of the major frustrations I hear from readers, and one we experience as well, is the downtime for Feeds when we have competitions or other events going on in the house. Since production is taking the time it needs to get all the footage for broadcast we’ve had things down for more than seven hours at a time. Well that won’t be happening in the Big Brother digital season this fall. With no regular episodes there will be nothing to protect for the next broadcast event. We’ll get to watch it all as it happens right there on our Big Brother Feeds!

As Big Brother’s fall season prepares to go exclusively online through CBS All Access we’ve been hearing a lot of very encouraging details from Heath Luman, Big Brother’s co-executive producer who is in charge of bringing all those weekly competitions to life. CBS just posted a really interesting read about Heath and one of his team’s latest comps, “Under The Weather.” Check that article out for more information on his role and how he supports the Big Brother team.

After the Black Box HoH comp was filmed behind the blacked out Live Feeds Heath took to Twitter to let fans know this wouldn’t be something we’d have to face in the online edition of Big Brother:


Heath has been extremely open and available to Big Brother fans through Twitter, something he was doing earlier today when he was responding to fans and commented, “Well, good news is those games won’t have yard “transformations”, will be refreshing to focus more on game elements.”

I’m taking that to mean there will be less time spent on converting the backyard from the BB backyard we know to a space that feels like it could be somewhere far away. We’ve seen that with these massive competitions and huge backdrops that take over the space and hide its ordinary roots.

Heath again reiterated that instead of watching seemingly endless loops of Jeff Schroeder while production taped the Veto or HoH competitions when it came time for this new presentation of Big Brother we’d see all the comps happen live! “I can tell you digital is shaping up to be 100% live comps on feeds,” said Luman.

As for when the online season of Big Brother will begin? Good question. All we know so far is that it will start soon after Big Brother 18 ends and will last about ten weeks. I’m willing to guess they’ll want to be done by mid-December like regular shows are so to squeeze ten weeks in things would need to get started pretty soon after that September 21st finale for BB18!

If you’re dissatisfied that CBS is putting this online season of Big Brother behind a paywall then that’s something you’ll have to take up with them. We’re looking forward to the new season and will definitely be covering the whole thing here on the site. At $6/month it’s relatively inexpensive entertainment and is a great opportunity for fans who can make it work for them. If you can’t get the Feeds or afford them then you’ll always have our coverage here on the site and through our free Big Brother App.

Besides making all the competitions live and available to watch on the Live Feeds, what else would you want to change about the regular Big Brother seasons? What would lend itself to an online version that keeps the show rolling with less downtime than we’ve come to expect from the summer installments? Share your thoughts below. I’d be interested to hear your ideas.
