re: Big Brother 18 - Season Long Thread (SPOILERS)

Wow! What a night...

After catching up from what was posted since I left work yesterday afternoon, WOW!..

I'm happy I chose to jump over to this thread this season and be a part of the fun. First off, damn House! Bronte should have stayed...She has the potential to be a good player in this game, but not anymore that she's out the door. Regardless I believe a guy will be coming back from the "Battle Back"...Also I believe that the "teams" twist will be gone when that member returns to the house! FYI!

After that occurs yes you don't have the luxury of something like Frank and Bridgette endured last night and for the past 2 weeks of being safe when their team wins!

As far as last night, perfect situation for Frank. He can get his game back in order while everyone fights themselves. He needs to lay low this week with Bridgette and not so much be involved in the drama that is going to go down between the house. Win his first HOH comp next week when it should be an Endurance comp, then be in a great situation going post battle of the block when its more individual.

If Frank and Bridgette were smart they would align themselves this week with James and Nat. I think Nat is the weakest link of the bunch as far as any BB talents are needed, but you always have that "floater" that makes it to the final 5...and that would be Nat. Bridgette would be the smarts of the group and James and Frank would cover the endurance comps...4 is a weird situation to be in, but if they could pull in someone else they would be just fine or just benefit from a swing vote where they can pull someone in to "save" them for the week.

I would like to think that the BB Roadkill will be going away as well when the "Battle of the Block" goes away also, but to be honest its a nice twist if used correctly and not spoke about all throughout the house. Also we haven't really seen 3 noms sweat it out. We just had the first BB Roadkill nom be evicted, so it does impact the game tremendously.

I don't watch the feeds, but my guess is Paulie puts up Natalie and Tiffany, with Tiffany being the target. I think they'll try to get Da nominated via the Roadkill. If any of them come off with veto, Paul goes up. Then the final decision for eviction will be made after the veto ceremony and the nominations are locked. My guess is Tiffany is the primary target, then Da, then Paul or Natalie.

But he isn't smart. As a matter of a fact, he's an idiot. He already thinks that James and Nat (Bronte's best friend in the house) flipped and voted Bronte out. It wants to believe so badly that the whole house didn't flip on him, that he has convinced himself that Bronte's best friend voted her out, despite the fact that Nat wouldn't even vote Jozea out even though she new the house wanted him out. Hopefully Frank comes to his senses at some point once the shock wares off, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

why is tiff such a big target? I realize she's insane and shouldn't last long, but in the main scheme of things she doesn't really have a "side" and there are far bigger targets out there to advance gameplay. And natalie? Wtf would someone try to target her at this point? She hasn't proven to do much of anything other than be incredibly perfect looking and hang out with james a lot.

I agree. Tiff has a lot of the same traits but she isn't the schemer that Vanessa is. Vanessa was much better at the game.

I think Tiff is also a big target b/c she was gunning for Frank

One huge aspect that Vanessa was better at was that she could win comps. Tiff can't win crap (some of which is probably because she puts too much pressure on herself to live up to Vanessa's rep).

Also, Vanessa was able to gain the trust of others in the house, what Tiff can't. Now some of Tiffs inability to gain trust is due to Vanessa playing the year before. But a part of it also is that Tiff started freaking out a whole lot earlier in the game than Vanessa did. Vanessa didn't start visibly getting paranoid in the house until she won HoH, 3 or 4 weeks in after she had already built a strong alliance with the Austwins. Tiff started out getting into the Pack 8 alliance, but she started freaking out in week 2 before she built a string relationship with the people in that alliance.

Vanessa was able to keep her paranoia in check until later in the game, and then was able to use her paranoia to her advantage later in the game. Tiff couldn't keep her craziness in check from the get go, and she sure as hell can't use it to her advantage for the reasons I listed above.

I agree with you. But also people are more skeptical of her because of Vanessa. If she were a rando she would be under the radar way more

So when i woke up this morning I got my overnight updates from Jokers. Jokers mentioned that Frank and Tiff talked, but didn't go into too much detail about what was discussed. According to sucks though Tiff told Frank about the whole house targeting him and Frank said that he would use POV on her if he won. I don't know if Frank really meant that or believed her, but an alliance with Tiff and Natalie would be very beneficial to him.

I am really starting to hate Paulie, Nicole, Corey, and Paul. They screwed up by keeping Tiffany safe knowing that she could blow up their game and now they are acting like she is the most ungrateful person whoever lived because she won't roll over and play dead for them. The look on Nicole's face when Tiffany bolted from the room when Nicole came in last night was hilarious.
