Big Brother 18 running thread

Same here! I thought I was going to like the traveling nurse -- like I had a crush on her after watching her interview with Jeff prior to the show and I was all set to root for her -- even though I thought she was going to be too guileless to be a good player. It all went downhill within 3 episodes. I just had her wrong.

I think you are right, too, about those three having the potential to stick around and think they are more than floaters. I think Natalie (the former NJ Jets cheerleader) is going to prove to be particularly dumb, though, so she could provide some entertainment as time goes on.

 

This is funny. From one of the sites I look @ in between episodes, with the commentary they had under it:



I've been covering Big Brother since 2001, and never, have I ever seen a poll where 96% of the respondents wanted the same houseguest evicted! Frankly, I was against him from the minute he mocked Glenn by saying, "50 is not the new 20..." then when he told Da'Vonne he was the Messiah I laughed my ass off.

 

Also, as or now, he is apparently going to be blindsided at the eviction, because he somehow is so clueless that he thinks he is safe.

 

Dunno if there is anyone still on it from here.

I was bummed to see Frank go. I like him as player. And my crush on Bridgette is back in full force.

I don't love this group. Out of he ones left, I particularly don't like Nicole and Michelle. Michelle in particular with the way she was toward Frank / Bridgette this week. Just bitchy and irrational.

I don't think anyone is playing a killer game strategywise. Paulie has won some stuff and he is a strong player relative to the group, but he bugs me because he is way too full of himself. James plays bold, but I didn't love him last season and don't love him this season. Paul is a loud mouth idiot.

Of the ones flying under the radar, I kind of would like Zakiyah to win. I just like her. Corey is flying under the radar, too, and could make it far, but he doesn't seem very bright or much of a strategist. Natalie could float through toward the end, but she is not deserving.

I don't like Da'Vonne, but I have come to accept her for who and what she is. She's drama. Annoying drama, but drama.

They'd be smart to keep Bridgette around, because she has no friends. But I wouldn't be surprised if she is the next target, because that is the way this season has gone.

 

I give a shit. Just wasn't paying attention on here.

That did suck. I can't stress how much I dislike Nicole, how much she annoys me, etc. She was more deserving than James, but Paul should have won that. He cost himself $450,000 by not taking James with him. I was thinking he made the wrong choice when he made it, but I thought he'd win anyhow. I was a little surprised by the result: Especially by Paulie, Zakiyah and Da'Vonne's votes. Paul was clearly the more deserving of the two in terms of how they played the game, but I underestimated just how much a few of them disliked him. And that is what cost him -- they chose based on who they personally liked more, not on who played the better game. Because clearly Paul did way more to win than Nicole who floated through and spent the summer annoying me with Corey.

 

I decided not to watch. I like it, but once a year -- and summer is perfect -- is enough for me. Plus, from what they described it was going to be even more contrived than it already is.
