Big Brother 18: Let’s Just Make It Official

by Lisa Marie Bowman on September 5, 2016

Hi, everyone!

Let’s just make it official and state what everyone already knows! They had the veto ceremony earlier today and Corey decided to…

…NOT USE THE VETO!

Yeah, I know — no big shock there. To be honest, it would have been kind of fun if Natalie or James had won the veto because then you would get to see everyone in the house scramble a bit. If Victor had been forced to put up Nicole or Corey as a replacement nominee, you know that Nicole probably would have gotten paranoid even if there was no real reason for to do so. That’s just Nicole. Add to that, I would have loved to have seen if James would actually keep his promise about using the veto on Natalie.

But, neither James nor Natalie won the veto. The veto was won by Corey and everything is pretty much going as planned.

That’s good for the Final Four but it’s a little bit boring for the viewers at home.

For the record, it now seems clear that Natalie is going home. However, Paul still wants James to think that he’s the one who is going home. That seems a little bit mean-spirited but I can understand the logic. If James is convinced he’s leaving, he won’t be mentally preparing himself for the next HoH comp.

Add to that, the Final Four seems to really be looking forward to blindsiding Natalie. They cannot stand her.

For her part, Natalie has been whining about how she knows that she’s going to be voted out but, to be honest, she’s not totally convincing. She really does seem to think that James will be the one voted out.

That doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll get a real blindside. Knowing these houseguests, they’ll probably tell her 30 minutes before the live show.

We’ll see what happens! As for now, I just hope that everyone had a great Labor Day weekend!

At least with James on the block he can’t ruin another blindside. Unfortunately, there isn’t a blindside to be had but at least we won’t be seeing him ruining one. Probably Nicole will tell him shortly before the eviction that he’s staying & he can go run to Natalie to tell her that she’s going. Bet he does.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz the house really is a snooze fest

Sammi September 5, 2016 at 11:51 pm

Nice write up Lisa. Can’t believe you can even find anything to write about. Boring boring boring. The last three weeks should be an eviction every day or two. It’s so hard to watch when all they do is eat and sleep and pop each other’s zits.

Star September 6, 2016 at 12:13 am

Sammi. Ew. Lol. Gross but funny!! 😄 And true! I watched about 15 mins last nite and turned it over to something else. No one is up and if they are they aren’t plotting anything. And nothing is going to change before Thurs. Last year they played that game all the time where they were throwing paper wads in pans or something. At least they were trying to entertain us. They haven’t all summer so I guess why should they now?? lol

Thanks for always bringing us news even when there isn’t any Lisa. 😊 And hope you had a Happy Labor Day!!🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

Miggy September 6, 2016 at 6:57 am: Pot Ball…I miss it too. At least it gave us some laughs late in the season. Yawn…i checked out weeks ago. Just no reason to watch BBAD. I feel sorry for the feeders at Jokers. They’re probably on No Doze.

Patti September 5, 2016 at 11:55 pm

I’m with you guys Lisa, April & Karla, I too wish James or Natalie would’ve won the veto comp. At least it would’ve stirred things up a bit! I hope James does win HOH just to see them all panic!! At least they’ll be some excitement in the house!!

EV September 6, 2016 at 12:21 am

I so hope James wins HOH! If he does the final four will be more! lol It could be another chance to get Paul out of there!

April September 6, 2016 at 12:26 am

Patti–there would be mass amounts of butt kissin’. That’s for sure.
I don’t know why Production lets them sleep thru BBAD. They are there 24/7 and can at any time take a nap. They wake them for DR sessions. Doesn’t the viewer take precedent over naps? It should not be this boring until next week.

Junksies September 6, 2016 at 3:35 am

April… In previous seasons the guests were not allowed to sleep through BBAD. They had to wake up before and couldn’t go to sleep until after midnight. We know this because the guests would gripe and complain about it. It sucks that we fans, their bread and butter, are so under appreciated and taken for granted.

karen September 6, 2016 at 8:58 am: April, Junksies, I totally agree! I can recall seasons with Rachel Riley for example where they were told to wake up. Where contestants made reference to BBAD as the reason to wake up or lets do something BBAD is on. They seemed aware of us watching and tried to do something. Not this season. I PVR the show and almost always fast forward. That goodness for this blog. I hope the network is paying attention. They need to make some changes. They must be losing viewers!

Flni September 6, 2016 at 12:27 am

Hey this is a boring episode no real strategy everyone knows Corey was not going to use the veto also no one cleans the house I saw on the BBC after dark Nicole cleaning and someone left food out like pizza and ants were everywhere the house guest instead of sleeping all day start cleaning the house the people in the house are mean spirited especially Paul always holding grudges against everyone I bet he is like that in real life and Victor bragging iam playing a honest game he is arrogant and not playing a honest game he let Paul make decisions .these house guests are lazy and mean

Bbfan September 6, 2016 at 12:40 am

James is TOTALLY to blame for this. When he threw the HOH to Nicole he sealed his and Nats fate.
I agree the BBAD is boring. Last night they slept and Corey did dishes!
I think Paul is going to win. He has all of his friends and “friendship” to thank for GIVING it to him! I’m hoping sooner rather than later, they all wake up and realize he NEVER CARED!! There will be no trips! If he ever sees any of them again, it’ll be too soon!

Sammi September 6, 2016 at 11:18 am: Lol@Bbfan

I agree that Paul “Never Cared”. He has told them all that. I think he will stay friends with Victor though. =0)

I am watching BBAD and there is actually activity going on! No one is in bed! They are riding the exercise bikes, playing pool, cooking in the kitchen, playing games outside! It’s the first time I have watched over an hour!
I am going to bed! Goodnight everyone! XoxoxoxoxoX

Junksies September 6, 2016 at 3:52 am

Two… About the tape recording of your family history… I’d forgotten that I did the same thing!! I secretly recorded on mini cassette tape my dad and one of his brothers during a trip back home to Montana. They had the funniest stories about growing up…all the trouble they got into living on the farm and doing stupid stuff for entertainment. I recorded in secret so they wouldn’t be intimidated and later revealed to them what I’d done. My plan was to copy and share with all my cousins. That was 36 years ago..!!.. I’m embarrassed to say…what a procrastinator I am!!! Hope the tapes are still good…..

Jolee September 6, 2016 at 4:22 am

Junksies, you should really try to do that. Several years before he passed away, my dad asked me to take the tapes he had recorded of the story of his life and send a copy to all of his children and grandchildren. I am so glad I did, because I not only have the story I put into a booklet, but I have all of the tapes of my dad recording it! What a treasure. One day my dad got out an old hymn book and began singing all of the old hymns we grew up with. My dad had a wonderful voice. He sang in the choir and did solos. I am now in the process of doing two projects. I am going to take all of the cassettes I recorded and convert them to DVD’s and make a book of my husband’s poems. He wrote some amazing poems. Well that was all OT. 😊😊😊😊😊
Goodnight everyone.

MargieP September 6, 2016 at 9:52 am

Good morning everyone. Hi Ho, Hi Ho its off to work we go! A real short week this week only 2 days!

I wonder how many times Natalie will get angry with James today and how many times he will end up apologizing to her yet again! Yesterday I lost count. She gave us a giant size picture of how she is in real life. I hope to goodness James isn’t like that in real life. What a doormat. He just let her crap on him again and again. He finally started to stand up for himself and got mowed down! She plays with him like my cat plays with her catnip toy!

I can’t tell you how many times just yesterday Nat brought up AGAIN that everyone was mean to her all season and called her FT. Boo Hoo If she would shut up about it everyone could let it fade from their memory. She uses it on James so he will feel sorry for her and try to get everyone to let her stay. All it does is keep James in turmoil. He did go to Corey and asked them to vote him saying that Nat deserves to stay! lol It’s not going to work. They are not going to keep her.

Nat kept telling James she wanted alone time (very cranky & harsh) and all he did was follow her everywhere she went. Even to the bathroom. While she was putting on her makeup he sat inches from her and just stared. It was pretty creepy! That would drive me nuts!

BBL

sherry September 6, 2016 at 10:35 am

Margie: I truly don’t like the shadowing James is doing
with Nat. But I have to wonder if he is doing this because
he wants to get as much time with her as possible before
leaving her? Not a great excuse, but he really has it bad
for Nat.
It amazes me how some women have the ability to wrap
men around their little fingers. I was never one to be able
to do this. I refused to cry or manipulate to get a boy or
man to do what I wanted. I guess I was always too honest
to treat anyone that way. I have two sons who have been
bamboozled by their wives to the point I want to shake
them. They were both strong males, but now are led around
by their noses. I wish I had the answer, but I don’t.
Men just don’t understand how devious and manipulating women can be. I guess that’s why I’ve always enjoyed being around men more than women. I think they are more honest, generally speaking.
I love this blog and the conversations I’m able to have with
women and men alike. It gives me hope!!!

MargieP September 6, 2016 at 10:53 am: SHERRY… I find it pathetic. I think he will be so embarrassed. She is really harsh and mean to him too. Since she really is not into him his following her around must irritate the crap out of her! lol I have never wanted a man that I could just lead around by the nose!

Junksies & karen–I remember last year well. Actually, I got frustrated at the nightly toss stuff in bowls too. It was every single night. For a lot of people it is the only chance to see some scheming all day. I was grateful last night that they were actually awake. Unfortunately, Nicole was setting her and Corey’s plan to “save James” to motion. Here we go. I dislike her so much. If Corey wins I’ll be just about as disappointed. Probably more so because aside from staring into space and riding her coattails he hasn’t done much.
I forgot we’ll be blocked all weekend until Tuesday’s live eviction to learn the identity of who’s up. Am I right? Anyone know?

bobovnvet September 6, 2016 at 1:47 pm

Bored! Reading Lisa’s blog each day is the best.
How many times are they going to count on their fingers to try to figure out the shows schedule…now Nicole is using oreos to count?!? And she’s a Nurse (?) who has to calculate meds?!?
NO Ratalie you are not losing weight…have another cookie!
So over it this season…:(
I noticed there is another Karla with a K so I added a W behind my Karlla even though she only has 1 l 😉

two September 6, 2016 at 3:54 pm

Lisa, like a magician you are able to pull substance out of thin air (aka BBAD). Thanks so much.
Bobo, Hope you are feeling better too.
Junksies. Jolee, what a wonderful way to capture the past. You both are fortunate because my aunt never transcribed her tapes and now they are lost forever. Sigh.
I’d be least upset if Victor won, but none of the others have played the game except Paul. If only there was a prize for Most Annoying Player, Paul would have no competition.
I can’t bear dirty feet. I won’t even go barefoot.

If James stays and if by a miracle he was to win HOH, who do you all think he would nominate? I know it’s probably a stretch to even think about the possibility ! Lol

Justaguy (JT) September 6, 2016 at 5:45 pm: Tough call. I think if he played his own game he would nominate Vic & Paul. But because Nat was nagging him about working with Nic & Coery… he might nominate one from each duo… they did discuss that..

Thank you Margie! XOXOXOXO

Justaguy (JT) September 6, 2016 at 5:59 pm

I did see an update to the list of remaining shows I put on yesterday’s page.
I read there will be a show Fri, Sept 16th….. that is the final 3 “memories” clip show.
So adjust your lists accordingly 😆

The game? Not much to say on that. Haven’t payed any attention today. Seems Nat is still going… but IDK. I do remember reading at one time Vic & Paul were considering keeping James as their better choice…. IDK what became of that.

Nic & Corey have 2 of the 3 votes.. so they can decide. They want Nat out.. but also don’t want to go against Vic’s wishes. So if Vic decides he really wants James out, they would probably go along with that.

Who is best to keep?

Nat has done better than James at comps overall. But no one is sure how many comps James has thrown. Nat has tried hes best in all of them. Might be about equally dangerous to break up a final 4. Whoever stay will have 2 chance. If they win either HOH or POV.. then the final 4 gets broken up. And HOH will be against only 3 people…. POV will be against 4. So odds are decent.

Vic & Paul. It is in their best interest to keep Nat. Yes, she hates Paul… but hates Nic / Corey as well and is more likely to break up Nic / Corey. Vic for sure should want to keep Nat

Nic & Corey. They should want to keep James. He is more likely to go against Paul & Vic. He did tell Nat he would put up one from each duo… but Nic / Corey would have a better chance talking to James than Nat.

The lower the numbers get, the more powerful Veto is. Final 4 Veto is almost more important than HOH. HOH is safe, but POV is safe and has the sole eviction vote.

bobovnvet September 6, 2016 at 7:31 pm

JT I hope they get rid of Nat!!! …………..

MargieP September 6, 2016 at 7:49 pm: Bobo…. I’m pretty sure you’re going to get your wish!😈. Are you feeling better?

I was watching the feeds when I got home from work tonight and Nat and James were having this intense conversation. James is completely whipped. At this point he is a lost cause. It’s absolutely sickening! I have lost any respect for James that I ever had! The conversation is too nauseating to go into but this comment will tell all. Nat was not kidding when she made this statement either. She was telling James about some of her past relationships, with a smirk on her face. He was trying to force a promise out of her to move to Texas or he go to New York. She said she didn’t want to start any relationships right away after the show that she wanted to spend at least a month with her family traveling to Argentina and Florida. (I thought she didn’t have any money!). 😈 She said if Justin Bieber called to ask her out after seeing her on the show she would have to turn him down. She wasn’t joking. Nat really believes all these celebrities are going to be calling her to ask her out. lol lol lol

bbigbbob September 6, 2016 at 9:49 pm: Since I’m a celebrity, I’d call her in a minute! Can’t wait!
