Big Brother - Season 18 - Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

In the house today:

James was the care package recipient. He can nullify two votes on Thursday.

Also, Victor nominated Zakiyah and Michelle. (Either one leaving would please me very much)

Glad James got it. I voted for him.

Yesterday Paulie won POV. As of now he does not plan to use it, even though his showmance partner is on the block.

Paul and Victor (who does whatever Paul wants) want Zakiyah evicted. Paulie wants Michelle out but is placating the other boys for now. He is working with James (who also wants Michelle out) to get votes nullified so Michelle is evicted.

IMO getting Michelle out is the better move. She is too unpredictable and emotional. Whereas Zakiyah is pretty much a pathetic doormat.

Paulie is going to win the game, if he isn't stopped soon. He is controlling the house. He calls the shots of his and others HoH's. He wins competitions and everyone likes him. These people need to wise up and take him out at the first opportunity or they might as well write him a check.

I think I am ready for another All Stars season soon.

I've been ready for one since season 10.

Get ready for tonight. It's gonna be cray cray.

To catch you up, Paulie didn't use the POV so the Nom's remained the same. Up until about 24 hours ago, Michelle was leaving. However, things have gone nutso (in a good way) in the BB house thanks to Natalie (of all people) and Michelle.

Natalie finally asked the question that most everyone watching has been asking. Why are they letting Paulie run the house? The group of James, Natalie, Bridgette, and Paul (yes, Paul) plan to throw a wrench into Paulie's plans and evict Zakiyah. Then they hope to win HOH and get Paulie or Nicole out. Victor is in on the plan but he doesn't have a vote this week. In truth, Victor and Paul are playing the middle so if Paulie does win HOH, they could swing the other way. They do know that Paulie has been running things though and that, if they want to win the game, he's gotta go.

Michelle has been verbally sparring with Paulie and calling out his game. How he pits the two sides against each other so they target the other side and not him, how he has called the shots for most everyone's HOH and how he took his strategy instruction from Derrick.

It's been crazy fun in that house. It should be a good night. Hopefully Team James etal can win that second HOH tonight and cut Paulie or Nicole or, worse case, Corey and cut that team done some more.

Part of me wonders if James is playing both sides, too. He is still talking to Corey, so I think he might be keeping his options open for the double eviction tonight. I guess we'll know when we see how he uses his Care Package.

I say James for the win. I like him.

Since they have the votes to evict who they want I believe the plan is for James to nullify one vote from each side, Pauls and either Nicole or Corey's. That somewhat takes James off the hook and masks Paul's allegiance with them.

I am so glad to hear that James saw how Paulie was trying to get him to do his dirty work for him.  I was hoping that James had his number and wasn't buying what Paulie was saying, but this makes me happy to hear.  

I think that Paulie overplayed his hand this time.  First with Paul, who saw that Paulie wanted to run the show once again and to heck with what the rest of the alliance wanted.  I just hope that if he is part of the double elimination tonight that he doesn't have the two-way ticket that will bring him right back into the game.

Oh well, a promising night turned turn out as I'd hoped.

In other news, the second HOH of the night goes to...Victor....again. He should've left his stuff up there. Lol

I don't really care what happens, except I want Paulie gone. He's just horrid. Paul is done with him after Paulie called him a dog, so that's good.
