BB18 Recap "What You Didn't See"

   Hi and welcome to the last Friday recap of Big Brother! Why is it the last you may ask? Well, BB has changed its schedule. Due to Thursday Night football, Big Brother will be airing Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The blog schedule will remain the same, with a recap posted the day after each episode airs. Also, one last reminder to vote in the poll to decide what reality show you want me to cover next, either by voting in the poll or commenting  below. 

    Now, let’s start the recap. As far as what was shown on the episode, it was fairly boring. But what is far more interesting is what they didn’t show. I’ll cover that at the end of the blog. So, the veto meeting is over and it doesn’t take long for James and Natalie to fight again. She’s understandably frustrated that she is going home, and James keeps trying to basically tell her what to do with her time left in the house. Just because she only has a day left James, doesn’t mean she wants to spend it with you. Also, Natalie can tell Julie Chen all she wants about her and James “maybe” having a chance. She isn’t interested. She isn’t fooling anybody. You don’t go from liking the Victor, Paulie, Corey types to thinking that James has a chance in under 90 days. 

                                        Here are some other things that happened this episode:

  . Michelle enters the jury house. The interesting part about jury house segments is that you start to get a feeling for who has a shot at winning this game. I was surprised that it seemed like Michelle was the only one to have animosity for Nicole, but maybe that is all that was shown. I do feel like Nicole has an uphill battle to climb, not being close with the members in the jury and playing a dirty game which is rarely respected. 

  . Jeff and Jordan return to give an interview about the fact that they are married and pregnant. I’ve never been a fan of them. Jeff had a tendency to treat her and other women in the BB House horribly, but I guess congrats to them. They get to extend their 15 minutes even more.

    Then, Natalie is evicted unsurprisingly and the HOH competition begins. It’s the annual slip n slide HOH, which is usually fun to watch.

   Now, I’ll address what you didn’t see during the episode when giving out my weekly awards.

                                                      Worst Player of the Week

    Natalie. She set herself up poorly this week and played her cards too soon. Do I think she maliciously threw James under the bus? No, I think it might have been a move to save them both. But, she’s an idiot if she didn’t realize that her words were throwing him under the bus. With that, she lost the game, and maybe her shot at America’s Favorite Player.

                                                             Best Player of the Week

     BBTooms. BBTooms? Who is that? Well, yes it’s not an actual player in the house. It’s a twitter account. Remember how last blog I wrote about how angry I was that James/Nicole had a pre-show alliance? How I thought it showed that both lacked in integrity and shouldn’t win? Well, this lovely fellow decided to try to do something about it. He actually went to the Big Brother studio lot and used a bullhorn to inform the entire house that James/Nicole had this pre-show alliance. Yes, the house guests heard it. It was on Wednesday night I believe. Unfortunately, no one acted on it. Because if they had, James would be gone. Oh and now Paul and Victor are screwed because they didn’t listen to this generously given knowledge. I know one of you might be thinking, “Giving outside knowledge to the house guests is unfair”. Here’s my response: “And a pre-show alliance where two people know 100 percent they can trust each other isn’t?” At least this could have helped remedy that unfairness.

                                                        Favorite Player

      I can’t give this out. I’m so disappointed in Paul and Victor for not forcing Nicorey to vote out James. They screwed over their games and one of them is going home this week if they don’t win HOH.
