Big Brother 18 - Premieres June 22

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Yeah I was just discussing with someone how much it is bizarre to me that people like Paul and Michelle are happy to go along. Do they not realize that they have zero shot of winning unless they do something? Win a comp, join an alliance etc. And not just be the 6th and 7th people on the totem pole in their current alliance.

Then you have Nicole, who I like, but is just so dumb. She'll crumble without Cory and James backing her up. To see that group sitting around lamenting heir bad house flip was hilarious. Glad to see tiff figured it out that it was purely an FU from Da to Frank.

The Frank side of the house are equally dumb though. How they never realized that they should have aligned with James and Natalie is beyond me. Or, going back to the low totem pole people, why not try and get Paul or Michell to your side? They must realize that strength in numbers will only get you so far when you're not higher than 5th or 6th on anyone's best friends list.

I'm loving the drama but honestly it's because of a lot of sloppy play. A really strong leader or schemer would have this entire house in their pocket by now.

Paul is playing a great game now; dude came back from the dead and is now on nobodies radar. For Frank, he needs to play in the POV; if he can pull Tiffany off the block it will send the house into chaos

Paul does need to latch on to someone though as he could easily start going back up as a token nomination. I imagine next week things will change a bit when one of the evicted house guests returns but the house seems pretty fragmented this season as there's not much in the way of a strong alliance.

if tiffany survives this week at the expense of Natalie, Paul and James should definitely join the Frank alliance. It's the stronger one that can win competitions. Just watching the roadkill this week it looked like Frank and Bridgette were 2nd and 3rd.. the others weren't even close. The 'house' side is so fragmented and pretty useless and as Cecil said, who wants to be 5th fiddle?

[Lil Pedro]

Really hope Victor makes it back into the house, I have him in my pool!

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Things seem to be going as expected. Too bad it doesn't look like Tiffany or Frank are gonna put up much of a fight. Here's hoping something interesting happens tomorrow night. At the very least Friday's returning houseguest comp should make things interesting going forward.

I'm very disappointed in how much I hate Da. I was so impressed that she came back as a new player this year. She was cool calm and collected. Now she's back to loud annoying in your face Da from last year. I really hope Frank wins HOH and she goes home. She's just a genuine bitch.

[Erick Estrada]

Don't underestimate how emotional Da can get. She could easily melt down and be sent packing. I'm surprised Tiffany hasn't told Corey and the group Da new she was the roadkill winner because she withholding that from the group shows how untrustworthy she is and may tip the scales.

[Weitz]

I don't get why guys like Paul don't actually play the game.

He doesn't have a chance to win unless he teams with frank et al.

He's the smallest target in the house right now. I think he's doing the right thing by letting the two sides take each other out and sliding by. When the numbers dwindle down and the jury starts, that's when you pick a side, win comps and start building a resume for the end. Right now I think he's playing really well socially by just having fun around the house and not getting into any conflict.

Corey and Paulie don't believe any scenario that involves Tiffany winning roadkill - from reading the feed reports, they just refuse to believe that she beat them. I don't think it matters that Da' was hiding that info because they don't buy it at all. Paulie thinks he already has this game won.

Da' getting evicted off Tiffany's nomination after keeping her last week would be great. I hope a flip happens.

[GirlySports]

tiffany going out tomorrow and coming straight back in would be the best scenario in this game (returnee is immune the first week back which will drive paulie nuts)

[Calgary14]

Paulie really, really doesn't like Tiffany - but why? Seems like he is taking it way too personally. Yes she's dramatic and manipulative but its a game

I think he's afraid she's like her sister, which she is in some ways but isn't in several ways

It was funny seeing Da whining about Tiffany not getting evicted last week when she's the one that spearheaded the move to evict Bronte. Things were going great for the big alliance last week as Frank didn't have a clue the other members were against him and would have continued their bidding but Da figured flipping things on Frank would be a great idea when all it's really accomplished is fragmenting the alliance and putting her in a weaker situation.

I feel James is kind of still attached to Da and I don't think that's going to be good for his game and guys like him, Paul, Frank, Natalie, Cabbage Patch kid need to set up the frame work to opposing what looks to be a strong four person alliance on the other side of the house.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Even though I question Paul's inability to recognize he'll never outrank Nicole and Zakiyah in the eyes of Cory and Paulie, I do have to commend his recovery. Last night they showed a scene where Paul, Paulie and Cory were talking, maybe one other person too, and it really seemed like they respect him.

I'm very curious what James' gameplan is. Right now he seems to be kind of hanging on. But people need to plan for either Frank winning HOH or the first target after Frank is gone. I'm not sure if they'll even target Bridget right away. She doesn't have much game and can be a good pawn to use after Frank leaves.

I'd really like to see Victor or Tiffany come back in. Flip the house a bit and give Paul something to think about. Then maybe have alliances rethought. BB is always at its best when it is unpredictable. Just seeing the pawns get picked off one by one by a house dominating alliance is always boring.

[GirlySports]

Isn't James gameplan just to bed Natalie? He didn't really play last year either other than to chase Meg

[Weitz]

I wouldn't be surprised to see people start to turn on Paulie. He seems so cocky and arrogant.

The thing I always hate about BB is that the people that aren't in the "main" alliance never seem to win HOH haha. Sure bridget did last week but then her own alliance member went home haha.

Absolutely. Hope it works out for him this time

[mile]

Why would Paulie let Paul do that to his hair?

I think the real game starts now, with no more teams and roadkill.

[Machiavelli]

Paulie had great hair, damn.

And yeah, tomorrow will be very interesting. Was it ever revealed how the battle back will work?

[Cecil Terwilliger]

I think all we know is that they battle in the order they were eliminated. So Tiffany only needs to win one battle. Glenn would need to would need to beat all 4 eliminated after him.
