The Big Brother 18 houseguests sleep a lot, but when they are awake, they’re providing us with plenty of Ewws and Ahhs. And this week we even got to some from the jury house, so let’s get to it!
The Best And Worst Moments of Big Brother 18 Week 9
Eww. Friday’s “Special” Big Brother Episode. What was the point in this episode? It was basically a clip show of a season no one really wants to re-live. And then they edit Paulie out of the episode and pretend to the TV-only viewers that it was filmed after the last eviction episode. And then they insert the start of the Head of Household competition and leave the TV-viewers hanging until Sunday. It was all just so lame.
Ahh. Natalie wins Head of Household. It’s nice to see a girl in power. And she’s ready to go after Nicole and Corey! Oh, wait …
Eww. Natalie reveals that production has been pressuring her to work with Nicole and Corey. OK, we’ve always heard that production doesn’t always let the show happen organically, but when it goes against what the majority of the fans want, there’s a problem with that. Not only is Natalie being pressured into doing something she didn’t want to do, she’s risking her fanbase and popularity. And her popularity has since dropped. Drastically.
Ahh. Michelle wins the care package. Thank goodness! Now Michelle can still go after Nicole even though Natalie has decided to target Paul! Yay! Oh, wait …
Eww. Natalie convinces Michelle to target Paul. Ugh. I thought Michelle was a super fan. I thought she was strong. It took Natalie less than a minute to convince Michelle not to target Nicole and to go after Paul. Lame.
Eww. Natalie and Michelle nominate Paul and Victor. This speaks for itself. Sure it might be a smart move, but I can’t get past production’s interference and how weak Michelle is about sticking to her guns.
Ahh. Paul works the house over. Paul played a great game this week. It all started when he actually made Michelle and Natalie feel bad and regret their decision. Both later pretended like Paul was still their target the whole time, but there were definitely moments when he changed their minds.
Eww. James ruins everything. Every time Natalie was on board with keeping Paul and Victor, James would chime in and bring her back town to his and production’s reality.
Ahh. Nicole and James called out for bribes. Have you heard about this? James and Nicole promising each other in their final four of them, Natalie and Corey money if either wins? That’s not only against BB rules, I’m pretty sure it crosses some kind of legal/tax rule. Thankfully production called them out and made them publicly state that won’t be giving out any gifts from any Big Brother winnings.
Ahh. Paul wins the Veto. This was the best case scenario for Paul and Victor because Victor wasn’t the target and they have plenty of time to figure out how to get Cory or Nicole evicted instead.
Ahh. Paul and Victor’s final act. These two guys fought tooth and nail this week. They pretended to backstab either other, Paul earned the trust of Nicole and Corey and Victor worked on Natalie and Michelle. And their plan seemingly worked. All the way up to the live show.
Eww. James ruins everything. As usual, James ruins the fun and votes to evict Victor.
Ahh. Jury footage. That was one of the best jury segments in a long time. How fitting was it that Paulie, an obvious sexist, is forced into a house with three women that he has scorned. And I must say I’m very impressed that Zakiyah didn’t back down. I was certain she’d fall right back under Paulie’s spell.
Eww. I can’t include the jury battle back/HOH! I really want to keep writing about what went down during the competition that followed the live show, but that’s for next week! So be sure to stay tuned!
