Big Brother 18 - Premieres June 22

[TheAlpineOracle]

I may quit watching mid-season for the first time in 18 seasons.

This is boring and predictable. Not a single storyline worth following and not a single person doing anything interesting and with frank gone it's just going to be a handhold between floaters for the rest of the season.

All of these women except for Da'Vonne seem so needy and desparate for male attention. This isn't a dating show.

I don't recall a season where people in the house freaked out so much anytime people were alone talking in a room or on the couch. Pretty paranoid cast this season. The only thing that can save Frank now is the secret room twist. I think things will pick up after Frank is evicted as the house will have to start focusing on the paired up people which should cause some drama especially with Paul and Da being extremely paranoid people.

Eh. Depends who wins HOH. I could see all of next week just to eliminate Bridgette.

Then maybe it will pick up again.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

I see Bridgette being next. The odds are what? 10-1? Anyone but her wins HOH and she's guaranteed gone. Then Paul/Victor/Da will be picked off I think. Then we'll be down to Cory/Nicole, Paulie/Zak, James/Natalie and Michelle.

I think Michelle is this years Victoria. I then think we'll see James/Nat go bye bye.

Of course this all assumes that Paul/Vic/Da don't win HOH. But if they do, I'd see the couple lowest on the totem pole gone and that's James/Nat. Paul, and by extension Vic, are loyal to Paulie and Zak seems loyal to Da.

The real problem with Cory/Nicole, Paulie/Zak and Nat/James is that there isn't a #### disturber among the 6 of them. Paulie has the smallest bit of leadership and Zak sometimes seems to have an opinion. At least Paul, Da and Vic can add some excitement by not being total doormats.

About the secret room:

Spoiler!

I read that there is one envelope for each houseguest and your envelope only gets opened when you get eliminated. If you have the "round trip" ticket, you walk directly back into the house. But Julie said it only last for 4 weeks and there are 10? 12? people left? So it seems there is a good chance that the winning envelope will never be used. Even with a double eviction in there, that's only 5 envelopes of the 12.

[Weitz]

I think whoever wins HOH next week, if they are not a couple (so Paul/Vic/Da/Michelle) they should go after the couples.

Put up Paulie and Corey. Then replace whoever comes down with the girl.

Also Cecil:

Spoiler!

Yah I saw that too which sucks. As usual it will be a Big Brother twist that does not get used.

This season is rapidly becoming intolerable. Does Paul even know where he was going with that confrontation? Frank needed to be "called out" because he's trying to save himself? He does realize he's playing BB, right? Terrible.

Bridgette in the diary room with the classic "everyone better watch their backs" smacktalk that rarely gets backed up with action.

And oh my God, am I ever tired of every guy in that house using the "your boy" line.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

I know I've repeated it time and time again, but what horrible gameplay from Frank and Bridgette.

They could have really put some pressure on the house. Frank needed to take control of that house meeting, not sit there all awkward and then just leave when it is over.

He should have said what I typed above. He should have put Paul and Vic on the spot and laid out how they are gonna be next if they don't align against the couples. He should have asked Paul why he's doing other people's dirty work for them. Build him up, tell him he's a strong personality, why play second fiddle. He should have called out Michelle for being the 3rd wheel with absolutely everyone. He should have asked Da if she thinks she has a chance against the 3 couples. He should have confronted James and Nat and asked why Nat let James turn her against her friend just to be 3rd on the totem pole behind Cory/Nicole and Paulie/Zak.

None of it may have worked, but it would have made people think. Tonight he's gonna be sent packing with absolutely no fight. I've seen a lot of players get sent packing with barely a whimper but never someone who had as good a game as Frank did earlier this year.

It doesn't really matter for Frank.

The house wants him gone. The only person who wants him to stay (michelle) didn't want to make the move. I think she should have used the POV on Frank and teamed up with him and Da and Vic and Paul and they would have something.

But they are all floaters and we know floaters don't make moves.

Yes, Frank I'm a little surprised by. I expected more from him. Bridgette I'm not surprised at all, she is borderline useless. Saw it again last night. James calls the ridiculous "house meeting". Frank gets up immediately and heads for the HoH room. She just sits there and stares at him whispering "what should I do??"

[Erick Estrada]

It appears people like Paul are simply in self-preservation mode as there's not a lot of thought being put into actually going to the end of the game. He's really stressed because he believes he's the token pawn and that should be a good indicator that he needs to team up badly with a group or he's simply biding his time. Da'Vonne is also on borrowed time as she doesn't really fit in with the couples and will be the first of their group they decide to cut loose so I don't know why she's not trying harder to align with James, Natalie, Bridgette, Paul, Victor, and Michelle and oust the power couples as they have the numbers.

[Erick Estrada]

Anyone want to bet that they spend the first 15 minutes of tonight's telecast focusing on Michelle trying to turn the house to evict Bridgette? Slanting things to make the viewer think it's a real possibility only for it to end up a unanimous Frank eviction. Thursdays are the worst for this show as there's zero drama at evictions which is a shame because it should be the best night.

CBS has to make the best with what they got on any given week. The way the show is set up makes for many predictable Thursday episodes. So if there is even an inkling of doubt or thought of vote switch, they have to roll with it to make the episode semi-interesting.

[calgarybornnraised]

The only good thing about Thursday's show is the HOH comp and even now you don't usually find out who the winner is until Sunday. Unless you got to jokers or watch the feeds.

Spoiler!

Wait till your boy Paul wins HOH

Remember the 1st season and got to vote the people out.

[calgarybornnraised]

This sucks and so do the people on it. It's like BB Canada, all they do is hook-up. It's not E-Harmony. It's Big Brother.

That "friendship" garbage he was spewing every tenth word I found way more annoying.

"That's friendsip. That's not friendship. Oh dude, friendship."

Shut up tool.

[Ben_in_Canada]

Glad i'm not the only one bothered by the "your boy" comments.

[Kybosh]

I saw a thread on Reddit about how nasty a lot of the house has been being to Bridgette for no real reason. Pretty sad.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Jesus Christ I just read that thread. ####ing horrible.

I've been saying it for a while now but Day, Zak and Michelle are straight up bitches. If there's one thing I hate on this show is when it turns into junior high style bullying. I hate it when aholes get far.
