BB18 Recap "When It's Hard To Find A Decent Player"


    Boy, let’s be honest. That episode of Big Brother was a whole bunch of nothing. We knew 5 minutes in what the nominations would be for each person, no matter how much suspense the show tried to drum up. Which is fine, not every episode is going to be suspenseful, but with those episodes I don’t have to listen to Nicole talk as much as she did last night. She and Corey are starting to grate on my last nerve. But, let’s start the recap.

   We start the episode with the HOH competition. It’s the annual slip and slide, where the house guests cross a soapy slide with some sort of liquid in a cup, hoping to transfer its contents to a big bowl. The first contestant to fill said bowl and recover a ball out of it wins. Corey by far won this competition. And, I hate saying this, it was because of a good strategy. Not only is he already athletically gifted, but he always went down the exact same spot on the slide. That means that after a few times, that part of the slide isn’t going to be as slippery because you’ve cleared it out. That’s why he could almost glide on it, without worrying about falling.

                                                      The You Suck Award Goes To
   James. Like an old friend, even if he won’t win the 500k, he can rest assured knowing he has by far won the most amount of these.


    The rest of the episode could honestly be summed up in one paragraph. Victor/Paul continue to trust Nicorey all while Nicorey knows they are putting those two up. Paul starts to doubt them a little, but never acts on those doubts. This is yet another reason James should have been evicted last week. If Paul/Victor had forced the issue for him to go, and Nicorey said no, then at least the boys would have known the position they were in this week. Last thing before I move on from this: Corey can not be a man. The CD he received in his HOH basket was Taylor Swift’s 1989. Which fun, it’s a classic album, I love it too. But, he also said he wanted to be in her “squad”. Those exact words. I want to see his birth certificate. 

     So, as I said, Victor and Paul are put on the block. What’s more noteworthy though is how Nicole and Corey are losing jury votes by the second. People could very likely vote for James to win over them because they have screwed over so many people unnecessarily. You don’t betray people just to betray them. You need to have some sort of spurring on moment. That moment could have been last week, but when you are just one week away from fulfilling your deal, going back on it is pretty pointless. They’ve basically lost Victor/Paul’s votes to win. They already didn’t have Michelle’s. That’s 3 votes gone automatically when an opponent only needs 5 to win. If it were James, he’d have Natalie’s. That would mean, he would just need one more. Nicole/Corey have made the mistake of thinking only about how to win the game if it’s the two of them. They don’t realize that some of their actions can screw their chances if they are up against someone else.

                                                               Best Player of the Week
   I honestly can’t reward anyone’s game play this week. No one has done anything to deserve it.

                                                            Worst Player of the Week
   Nicole and James. Since no one performed well, I’ll just give it to the two I don’t respect in the slightest. Leave your pre-show alliances at home and don’t ruin the integrity of the game.

                                                            Current Favorite
    Victor/Paul. The thought of losing one of them pains me, but I hope we lose Victor. If only because he’s already been evicted twice so I couldn’t want him to win based off of that. Paul would be the only decent winner to this season left.
