Today We Watched a Big Brother Couple Sleeping, And What We Saw Next Was Shocking!!!

The feeds just cam back after an hour or so, and as expected Corey took himself off the block. Tiffany then semi-secretly put up Da'Vonne as the replacement nominee. Now she has to convince a couple more people to join Frank and Bridgette as votes to get rid of her. If not, Tiffany will indeed leave the house on Thursday.

But that's not really the big news of the day. Shortly before 9 am Big Brother Time, an alert feedwatcher noticed some movement on one of the bedroom cams. Shockingly, it was the bed shared by Corey and Nicole. Yes, Nicole, the self-congratulatory sweet, virginal princess who has supposedly only kissed four boys may have been playing around with her semi-interested boytoy.

The scene begins with the two of them facing the opposite ways soundly asleep. Suddenly they're awake facing each other. Corey's hand is clearly moving in a somewhat rhythmic pattern, and she begins rubbing,scratching his back (and lower). A little groan is heard coming from her, and her hand is also in motion under the covers.

Were they touching each other in an erotic matter? As somebody who has watched these late-night (or in this case early morning) activities on past seasons, I will say yes. Do we actually see fingers on private parts? No. Online there's currently a pretty funny debate as her fans completely deny that their "girl next door" would never do anything naughty, while the rest of us giggle at their delusion.

Oh, Nicole, that makes two years you've let a boy ruin your game. Great job!!!

Edit: A couple of other little notes. Supposedly Da'Vonne flipped her braids in Tiffany's face after the POV ceremony. Tiffany ran to the diary room to report it. Also, Paulie's plan of staging a fake fight to "call out Frank" never happened. Remind you of somebody else?

Big Brother Season 18, Episode 11 Recap

Just 24 hours ago it looked like tonight would be a ho-hum eviction night. The plan had not really changed since Thursday night, although Day had been doing some groundwork for a major change. Her efforts looked to be in vain, even though at one point they had the necessary votes, until last night when a handful of folks (but not Day) decided to throw a little blindside into the action.

Will this be enough to add some spice to the season? Maybe, but we’ve been disappointed before. We’ll have to see how this shakes down, and also take a close look at how CBS edits together this change of heart. Will Day get the nod for thinking up the original scheme? Or will they try to make it look like their self-appointed heartthrob did all the work?

I just hope that in the couple of hours since the feeds went down that Bronte and/or Frank weren’t informed of this stunning turnaround. I love an old-fashioned blindside, and we haven’t had one for quite some time.

So let’s start with the aftermath of the uneventful POV meeting that saw Bridgette electing to not use the veto. Frank loves that Bridgette has followed his every idea, and Paul isn’t worried as he’s the “smallest target on the block”. He thinks it’s time for a girl to be evicted. Bronte says she’s been told she’s not the target, and if that’s not true “the whole house deserves an Academy Award. I’ll be completely shocked”. Day admits that Tiffany has driven her crazy, but she can potentially help her win the game.

Day and James are now talking, and she says she doesn’t know what to do. She brings up the idea of flipping the vote because Tiffany “is gunning for (Frank)”. James agrees. Michelle is sleeping next to them, and when she stirs she agrees to be the third vote. “Frank would be gunning”, he says.

Nicole comes into the room, and Michelle tells her that she feels bad about evicting Tiffany. They agree that keeping Tiffany will result in a bigger target in the house, and Nicole then consents to being in on this plan. They just need one more vote, and Nicole and Day now talk to Zakiyah. Yeah, that’s an easy person to talk into almost anything. “I will do whatever y’all want me to do.”

Zakiyah is now on the cot with Paulie, and she asks about the Bronte plan. After telling him to take off his sunglasses so she can see his eyes, Paulie doesn’t want to keep an “emotional player who can blow up at any moment...you’ve got to think long-term”. He reminds Zakiyah that Tiffany is a “strategist” who can win competitions.

Paulie then walks over to where James, Nicole, and Cory are laying around. James jumps up and loudly says, “who are we voting out”. Paulie says Tiffany. “She’s the longterm threat”. Nicole says she’s not worried about her, but the other boys duck their heads when asked. James explains that this “isn’t my first rodeo, you guys. For you two, it’s very dangerous to vote your own team out.” Ugh, this goes on way too long. Nicole tells him to sit his butt down, and Corey then says that Bronte is more dangerous than Tiffany. Paulie doesn’t agree. Michelle then walks out, and she’s on the anti-Bronte movement. They still don’t think Tiffany’s a threat, but Paulie brings up how her sister worked last week. “Frank is her target next week. Who is her target the week after?”

This makes Nicole whine in the diary room. She’s soooooo annoyed, you guys. “I don’t know what’s best for my game, you guys.” She does ask who Frank’s new target will be.

After commercials, we move on to Frank and his future plans. We see him talking to Nicole in the bathroom. He asks her about what to do next week, but she won’t say what she wants to do. Finally, she sort of lets it out that she knows that Frank wants Day gone. This week she’s going to have to figure out who to align with, Frank or Day. Yep, Nicole is confused once again.

Frank now works on Bridgette. He wants her to win next week’s Roadkill, and tells her that he thinks they can work with Nicole and Corey in the future. She just nods her head in agreement. Frank then moves back to Nicole and talks about the four of them all working together. Nicole likes this idea, but thinks getting Day out would be tough. They wouldn’t mind seeing Michelle win the next HOH.

So Frank then tries to chat with Michelle about Day. Michelle wonders why Frank is even talking to her, and she laughs that he has “no clue I’m fairly close to Da’Vonne”. She appears to agree, and Frank even lets her know that Nicole is in on this plan. Ooooh, this could end up being fun later tonight.

Back in the house, Michelle informs Day about Frank’s plan. Nicole then walks in, and denies that she was in on this idea. And again we get a “I’m so annoyed” comment from her. She denies being in on the plan, even after Michelle says she believed it to be true. Day doesn’t believe her because she was “sweating bullets”. “Maybe she did say that.” Nicole is pissed, though, and says she in the diary room that she doesn’t want to work with Frank anymore.

So she now talks to Michelle, and they decide that the only person who would be pissed about this would be Paulie. They go talk to him, and Corey joins them, and now Paulie is on board because this would make Frank “frazzled” during the HOH competition. When Corey comes in he says they don’t need to tell James and Day because the vote will be so close that he won’t know who voted her out. Zakiyah walks in, and she agrees with the analysis. She also agrees to be vote number five. “Let’s get it”, Corey finally says.

I must say CBS didn’t do a bad job in those segments. Day did originally come up with the flip, and Paulie was the one who reconsidered and put the plan in motion. Nice job, editors.

Eviction time!!!! First we have the final pleas. Paul’s first, and he gives the usual “I’ve had the time of my life” silliness. He then puts on his glasses and says rule number one is “friendship”. What? Tiffany then babbles about dictatorships not working out for dictators. She brings up Frank as the dictator, but he had “one small flaw”. It was the “cow manure that spewed off his tongue that smelled worse than his daily gas. So, I’m sorry, if you want to keep me I’m not targeting any single one of you but said dictator and his little cabbage patch kid.” This was wonderful!!!

A shocked Bronte then stands and says “I’m not in the business of being mean. I’ve enjoyed my time with all of you guys. I’ve had a great time. I feel like I’ve been nice and played an honest game. I’d love to stay and play with all of you guys. I won’t harass anyone if I do.”

After that little bit of fun, it’s voting time. Frank is first, and he obviously votes to evict Tiffany, as does Natalie and James. It’s then commercial time, and when the show returns Michelle votes against Bronte, as does Nicole, Zakiyah, and Corey. As agreed, Paulie votes to evict Tiffany. “Oh, Julie girl”, says Day before she votes to evict Bronte. Yep, it’s the 5-4 vote they all planned ahead of time.

Julie makes the announcement, and Bronte doesn’t seem to be surprised. She must have been informed of what was going to happen. Bronte tells the house to “keep it classy” before she walks onstage with Julie. Everybody in the house wanders into the bathroom, and Frank eyes them all with a big grin.

Bronte is asked what went wrong, and she says the “target for next week changed”. She knows that Frank is the new target, and she had to go since she was a “flip vote”. Yep, she was told she was going 20 minutes before it happened. Bronte is then asked about Bridgette not using the veto on her, and she explains what we all knew about the Natalie/Bronte situation. If she could do it all over again, she says “i wouldn’t trust Josea and Victor”. The messages are then shown. The first one is from Michelle, who calls her a “Tyrannosaurus Rex” that was safe until 24 hours earlier. Paulie says he’ll miss her “cute little face”. Natalie has complimentary things to say, obviously, and Frank apologizes. That’s all, folks, except for Julie telling her of the twist that may bring her back to the house. “Good thing I wasn’t snooty on my way out”, she squeals. “I’m happy I held my tongue.”

After that diminished level of excitement, it’s time for the first quiz-oriented HOH competition of the season. Yesterday they were given photoshopped clues that involve the first three evictees (Glenn, Jozea, and Victor), and there’s footage and commentary of them. Julie’s reading true/false questions on these photos, and any wrong answer eliminates them. Corey, James, Natalie, Zakiyah, and Paul are eliminated on the first question, but everybody is correct on the second one. Tiffany, Michelle, and Da’Vonne are the next out. It’s between Frank, Paulie, and Nicole, and Paulie is the new HOH!

That doesn’t bode well for us feedwatchers, though. Seriously. This will be a boring week with Mr. Personality upstairs. The only good thing is the fact that Frank and Bridgette aren't eligible to be nominated, so who will Paulie put up (besides Natalie)? Whatever.

So that’s it, outside of boring questions from Julie. Were you excited and/or let down by the blind side? Are you happy with a Paulie win? Let’s chat!!!

Big Brother Season 18, Episode 10 Recap

There’s not a lot to say to introduce tonight’s show. It’s pretty by-the-numbers, with no game-changing activity. There will be a POV with a predictable outcome, and an extended commercial for a particular restaurant chain. Oh, and that giggling that I predicted on Sunday? That will almost undoubtedly happen tonight.

So we start with the Roadkill nomination of Bronte by Frank. Bronte, of course, “feels absolutely terrible”. She thinks that the nominations was made by Paulie. Frank says that Bronte is his “plan B” in case Tiffany wins the veto.

Speaking of Tiffany, the clueless wonder asks Paulie in the bathroom if they (Bronte and Paul) are “bigger targets than me, right?” The lying liar Paulie responds that this is exactly why Bronte was put up.

As long as we’re chatting about clueless players, Bridgette apologizes to Bronte and says she’s pissed about whomever put her up. “This is like a slap in the face. Someone’s trying to sabotage my HOH.” Bronte says that she’s not “going to go down without a fight”. If Bridgette wins POV, she promises to save Bronte. They actually hope that Natalie wins POV and takes Bronte down so both of them are safe.

Frank and Paul are now talking, and Frank says if Tiffany comes down it won’t matter who then goes up as he’s safe. In the diary room, Paul screams about how he doesn’t trust anybody so he’s going to win it on his own. (Please, CBS, feed him some pills before he goes into the diary room.)

Bronte’s mood is quickly going lower and lower, and she even buries her head in the diary room to prove it. Then she cries. She asks Bridgette and Natalie if they can go upstairs. She supposedly has a big secret she now wants to unveil.

That big secret??? That she’s an “aspiring mathematician”. Yeah, that’s it. Seriously. She thinks this is some big deal. “So that means you’re mad smart”, replies Natalie. The dumb Spy Girls celebrate and they start jumping around on the bed.

Frank now joins them in the HOH. He doesn’t want these twits to know he was the Roadkill winner, and tells them that nobody wants Bronte to go home. He even says that they can pick her to play in the POV if they want him to save Bronte.

Downstairs, James and Day are talking about Frank playing the Spy Twits. She wants those girls to know they’re being played. They decide that James should let Natalie know. The phone then rings, and James answers “Sheriff’s office!” Yep, it’s Natalie calling from the HOH. Since Frank is in the next room, James stretches the phone line over to the bed before giving her advice. He tries to give her this info by not saying his name, but he almost has to spell it out for this goof. They end the conversation with James saying that she can’t let anybody know about this info. “I trust you.” Frank interrupts them, so James has to hang up the phone. “You’re grounded from that phone!”

After the first series of adverts, the insipid Spy Girls are in the bathroom. Natalie tells them that they have to “watch out for each other”. Bridgette thinks that it was either Michelle or Paulie who nominated Bronte, and Natalie doesn’t tell them what she knows. Bridgette says that she completely trusts Frank, and Natalie is dying to tell her outside of “I get a little nervous with Frank”. It turns out that Bridgette thinks the same of James that she thinks of Frank.

That fake funk music then chirps up, which means it’s time to pick POV players. The first chip drawn belongs to Bronte, so she picks Natalie to play. The second person chosen to play is Paulie.

For some reason, the other girls don’t like the fact that Bronte picked Natalie. Who did they think she’d pick? They all wonder who will go up if any of them come off the block, especially if Natalie wins. Day is especially pissed. “This is now how I envisioned this week.” We do get that patented Nicole whine about how she just can’t be put up.

After commercials, it’s time for the POV. Sponsored by Outback, they’re all “chefs in training”. After studying a “recipe”, they have to pick the correct liquid when prompted. If they’re wrong, they’re blown up. Yep, it’s a variation of that “bomb” competition that’s happened the last few years. And yes, we have to hear from both Tiffany and Paulie how their relatives thrived at this game.

This is where I get so angry with the production. As always, we have to hear the “I need to win” diary room from each player, and then a restatement of the rules. It’s unbearable.

Bronte is out in the first round. “This is not fun.” Paulie is the next loser, and his diary room comments are even worse than Bronte’s. Then Tiffany is gone, and a bunch of the boys celebrate, which lets her know for the first time that she’s the real target (althoug this isn’t really acknowledged). Paul is the last loser, making Bridgette the POV winner. “Oh my gosh!” (ZZZZZZZZZ)

But we’re not done! Frank wants to do an elaborate celebration, but ends up knocking her down and spraining her ankle. Good job, Fart Boy.

After commercials, Bridgette is carried into the house. She’s also given crutches. Paulie and Paul laugh about being covered in pink paint, which leads Paul to mention that Person Who Shall Not Be Named. Stop it. Erase him from the Big Brother record books.

Tiffany walks in, and she’s clearly pissed. She cries in the diary room, and it’s “frustrating” that so many people compare her to her sister. Oh stop it.

In the HOH, the Spy Twits are celebrating. Bronte wants to come off the block, but the problem is that it could mean that Natalie will now go up. She says that she “knows for a fact that I’m going up” but won’t say how she knows this information. Bridgette wonders what information she’s holding back. The goal now is to find out who won Roadkill. Bronte knows, though, that this info must be coming from James.

Back downstairs, Bronte openly asks if James knows who won Roadkill. “I might.” Bronte explains why she needs to know so she can protect Natalie. James stumbles over his words, but he’s blinded by Bronte changing her clothes. Good work, Bronte. He eventually says that he really doesn’t know what will happen.

Time for the commercial spot. Bridgette struggles to come out of the diary room to announce that her team gets a free meal in the backyard from Outback. She also gets to pick another team, and she picks “Big Sister” (whoever that is). I guess it’s Zakiyah, Day, and Michelle.

I won’t really participate in these commercial co-ops, so let’s just jump ahead a bit. James and Natalie again talk, and she tells him how bad she feels about having to lie to Bronte. He then tells her about Bronte approaching him, and they all babble about Frank taking over Bridgette’s HOH. “Frank is just using and abusing Bridgette.”

Speaking of those two, they’re in the HOH bed. She’s curled up in his armpit, and he admits that he won Roadkill. “You put up Bronte because you knew she was going to be safe”, she asks. Oh, you’re a stupid stupid girl. He claims he did that to ensure she was “strong” in that competition. He’s not happy about her picking Natalie to play for her. “That wasn’t a good game move.” Not good for you, Fartboy, but good for Bronte. Bridgette, of course, buys it. “The two girls don’t trust you. I keep telling them whatever.” She snuggles even closer, and thanks him when he admits that he put her up the first week. “Frank really knows best.” Seriously????

Thankfully, one of the most frustrating episodes in quite some time ends with the POV meeting. You can guess what happens here. Even after enduring dumb pleas, Bridgette doesn’t use the POV. Barring a reversal of thought, Tiffany is going home tomorrow. (Feed watcher know that this change of target almost happened last night.)

So that’s it! Are you now hungry for Outback? Are you a fan of the Spy Girls? Do you want to slap Frank? Tell us what you think!

Monday's Power of Veto Meeting Results and the likely evictee.

On Monday as we expected Bridgette didn't use the Power of Veto so the nominations stayed the same with Tiffany, Paul and Bronte.

Tiffany is actually attempting to campaign to stay although she is also being told she should be safe.  She knows Frank has wanted her out and so has been talking to various house guests about wanting to stay and get revenge on both Frank and Bridgette.

While the house guests she has talked to, Nicole, Davonne, Michelle and others, see receptive, a part of it is they don't want her stressing out and making their week difficult.  I do think that in part Davonne had toyed with the idea of trying to keep Tiffany and may even give her a 'hinky' vote so that if she returns she will be loyal to Davonne.

Today in the house Tiffany has continued to talk to people about the advantage of her staying.  Bridgette also got her HoH camera, wrote in her blog and recorded some tweets to be sent out later.  We know from Nicole that they basically get a computer with a word processor and type everything out and production takes it from there.

I'd have to say things are still very much looking like Tiffany is staying - she's just not proven herself as as a good ally and both Bronte and Paul are fully on board with the prospect of going after Frank next week once Tiffany is gone so her argument that she wants to go after him as well holds little value.  Tiffany's ties to her sister are seen as a much bigger threat than Paul and Bronte who both have demonstrated their lack of knowledge on how Big Brother actually works.

Big Brother Season 18, Episode 9 Recap

A word of warning before tonight’s show is aired. You may want to turn down your volume, as the sounds that will be coming out of your speakers may cause you to stab your ears. They may also cause anger, delirium, shame, fury, and hopelessness. It’s probably time for CBS to bring back the disclaimers they used during season 15 just to save themselves from legal actions from those whose eardrums are now shattered.

What we’re about to witness is close to 60 minutes of giggling. A piercing giggle that is fake the vast majority of the time. This giggle will be amplified when the person in question is joined by a “secret nerd” (whatever that means) and the long lost member of the Spice Girls.

Aside from this, the only other item of interest is what CBS does or does not do with an incident that happened Thursday evening. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I urge you to take a listen to the latest episode of the Big Brother Gossip Show! Something pretty disturbing occurred that evening, and that event fits into tonight’s timeline.

Let’s jump in after the somewhat surprising HOH win by Bridgette. I say surprising even though the tennis game was a crapshoot event because Bridgette is...well, completely inept. She can make cookies. That’s it. And I bet those don’t taste all that, either.

Bridgette is seen high-fiving Frank, and giggling how excited she is in the diary room. She’s “super-nervous because my game play is friendship”. What??? She doesn’t want to anger anybody, and she never expected to win. Well, we agree on that.

Paul is nervous as he thinks he’s the next target, but people have been warming up to him. His plan is to be the “funny guy”. Frank, on the other hand, wants to “steer Bridgette to Tiffany”. Day is disappointed that she can’t go after Frank this week, and she notes that Bridgette being HOH is just like having Frank in that spot.

Speaking of Frank, he’s now celebrating with Paulie. Bridgette walks in and they congratulate her. Frank asks who she is going to go after, and she shrugs her shoulders. Tiffany then wanders in and out of the room. Frank loves that she “doesn’t know what to do with the power”. Exactly.

Day is now consoling Zakiyah because she did so poorly in the competition. She’s concerned because she’s never hung out with Bridgette. Day tells her to not let anybody see her show emotion. “We will figure it out.”

Natalie now comes into the bedroom where Bridgette, Bronte, and James are hanging out. She gives a high kick in celebration, and Bridgette asks James if he has “any suggestions”. He babbles about “minimal blood”, and she again says she’s worried about people hating her. Ugh, this is Big Brother, you twit! James lets her know that a “lot of people are going to pressure you”, but it her HOH.

Day is still ranting as her alliance is falling apart. She now has to make nice with Frank and Bridgette. Frank joins her in the have-not room, and he promises to ensure Day is safe. His plan is to get her to put up Tiffany and Bronte, and possibly Paul. Paulie points out that it’s unlikely that Bridgette would put up Bronte. Paul then walks in and laughs at how those guys are “sitting pretty”.

In the bathroom, Tiffany comes in whining to Nicole and Corey, who remarks that “she’s not going to believe anything we say”. Corey mumbles some more, but it’s impossible to understand. When Nicole leaves, Tiffany asks Corey for some advice. Why she’s asking that dead bolt I don’t know. Tiffany does know that Frank is going to somehow convince Bridgette to nominate two girls. “Why didn’t he just stick with the eight pack”, she asks.

Bridgette now talks to Frank about her plans. She wants to either put up Nicole and Corey, or Tiffany and Corey. Frank says that he’s “buddy buddy” with Corey, but Bridgette says she’s never talked to him. He also believes that Nicole would never go after her. Instead, he tells her that if Tiffany left the entire house would be happy. Next to her should be Paul. In the diary room, she says she wants Nicole and Corey up because they’re a “power couple” but does see the sense of Frank’s suggestions. Guess which one she does?

After commercials, we get filler with James and Nicole. Yep, it’s the dreaded showmance spot, and Nicole babbles that she “definitely” didn’t come into the game looking for a boyfriend. Yet, Corey is the “best looking guy I’ve ever seen in my life”. Sigh. There’s now a montage of the two of them flirting. Please take this off my TV.

Frank is then for some reason seen talking about how great looking he is. He claims to have the prettiest feet and teeth. Hmmmm. He says that he’s a “kid at heart”, and is then showng acting like an asshole to all of the girls. It’s a bit disturbing, to be honest. Nicole says he “sometimes go a little too far”. He’s shown poking, tickling, and calling them “fatty boom ba blatty”. Zakiyah isn’t too fond of him, either.

Then we get the infamous douche/slut conversation from last week that we played on last night’s show. Day laughs with him, but in the diary room she says he’s “pushing me”. A bit of foreshadowing here???

More filler, as Bridgette skips out of the diary room with the dreaded “who wants to see my HOH room?” Time for me to take a piss.

Oh wait, I need to come back to my TV. As everybody leaves the HOH, Day and Frank start heckling each other. He kicks at her as she walks by, and she replies “move your big ass feet”. “Shut your mouth, woman.” “Shut your damn mouth.” Oooh.

Down in the bedroom, Day reports the latest skirmish to the Nicole, Zakiyha, Paulie, and others. “That stuff don’t fly.” She’s crying again, and Nicole says he’s “not worth the tears”. She says she’s “trying, but I don’t want to the Da’Vonne from last year”. She’s mad because she was one of his biggest fans.

Now we get to the serious stuff. Frank has been talking to Paulie and Corey, and when he leaves the bedroom we hear her yell “stop hitting me on my ass, Frank”. (The strange thing is that they’ve edited out the actual slap that could be heard on the feeds.) Day storms past the other boys in tears, and they follow her into the have-not room to console her. Frank then walks in and apologizes. “It’s cool, Frank. Stop.”

In the diary room, Day asks if she “can just sit here”. In the bedroom, Paulie and Corey inform Frank that he caused her to cry. He thinks that she knows he’s joking around. In the diary room, Day adds “I don’t know why he thinks he can do that, and hit girls in the butt or call girls a slut...I’m raising a daughter”.

After leaving the diary room, she tells James that she almost hit him. “I ain’t never told you that you have permission to slap my ass”, she adds in the diary room. “I have never given the impression that it was ok.” She continues to talk about how he offends her, and Tiffany says he’s not worth losing the game over. “It’s a whole other ball game next week. I’m going to get his ass.”

It’s definitely time for commercials, and when we return James asks Frank what happened. He says he’s going to talk to her later, and it wasn’t the first time “I popped her butt”. He adds that he grew up in a family that did it to each other, and even his grandmother’s butt was “popped”. In the diary room, he acknowledges he did wrong.

We then see Frank take Day aside to apologize. “You know I didn’t mean that in a bad way. I won’t cross that line if it makes you uncomfortable.” Day giggles, and says “you’re just Frank”. She thanks him for apologizing, and they hug. “I’m sorry, girl.” In the diary room, she says that she just has to smile and said she appreciates him since he’s in charge. “But I’m going to get him next week.”

It’s now nomination time, and as expected Bridgette nominates Paul and Tiffany. Bridgette’s reasoning is that it’s “just a game move”, and they should “come up and talk about it over hot Cheetos”. What??? Frank is happy, Tiffany isn’t surprised, and Paul “can’t catch a break”. Paul adds “hey, Johnny Mac, I’m coming to beat your record”. Day feels “relieved” since her disagreement with Frank didn’t lead to her nomination. “That doesn’t mean I’ll return the favor next week.”

Upstairs, Bronte informs Bridgette that Tiffany will mainly blame Frank for her nomination. “It really didn’t”, she claims. COUGH BULLSHIT COUGH!!! Bronte also fills her in on that Day/Frank situation. “I think it’s squashed, but I want you to feel more secure that if anything from this week backlashes it’s not going to come on you.” Suddenly, Bridgette is worried that people will think she’s weak. They do, girl. They do.

In the bedroom, Zakiyah consoles Tiffany. “Don’t freak out. Breathe.” Nicole joins them, and Tiffany says if she survives the week “Frank is going down”. Nicole just chomps on her cracker in response.

For the first time, the telephones are used. James calls downstairs, and Zakiyah answers. He wants to talk to Natalie, and we move into another phony showmance segment. She claims in the “real world” she would date him. Yeah, right. The only good thing about this segment is her booty shorts.

Back in the bathroom, we get two week old footage of Nicole choking on her water. Why?

It’s now BB Roadkill time. It’s another timed competition where they have to replicate the order of a bunch of horn sound effects. It’s a real annoying competition, especially with the usual liberal use of cliches and over-explaining.

After the last set of commercials, Frank is a happy boy. “We’re all good to go.” Tiffany and Zakiyah know that Frank has won because of a comment he made as they walked in. In the bathroom, Frank and Nicole celebrate. She likes that he told her because it means she’s probably not going to go up. He then pretends that he didn’t win when he talks to Michelle, and then celebrates with her. Surprisingly, he says he’s not going to tell Bridgette. Bronte is going up, and if she wins POV she’ll be replaced by Natalie. Zakiyah now promises to blow up Frank’s game, and James agrees. “He’s too dangerous to remain in this game.”

The show ends with the Roadkill nomination, and as he promised Frank puts up Bronte. There’s the usual “I have to win POV” bluster, and Bridgette promises to “get” whoever put up her good friend. Oh, you silly twit. We’re now through for the night.

I have to admit I’m surprised by tonight’s show. The giggling was primarily edited out, and they actually showed the Frank/Day controversy. Many of us believed that it would be swept under the rug. Good for you, CBS.

What did you think of tonight’s episode? Are you happy with the nominations? Or how the big controversy was edited together? Tell me your thoughts!!!
