Natalie VS Paul - Why it's STUPID (week 10)

HoH: Nicole   -   Noms: Michelle/Paul   -   Veto: Nicole   -   Veto Used?: NO

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's up everyone! It's time for a random, impromptu post because lately I've been witnessing one of the stupidest feuds every via Twitter and Tumblr. It's basically just a huge mess of Nat's fans fighting with Paul/Victor's fans, leading people to start claiming that there is a discriminatory aspect to the issue of Nat's rating dropping...which there really isn't. 

Essentially the issue is that when Natalie aligned with Nic/Cor, viewers gave her a lot of crap. Yet when P/V do the same thing, they do not get the same backlash. 

Is the an issue of gender? Well...no. Because the main person to blame for Nat/James'/Meech's games hitting the fan is actually James. 

The reason that viewers had an issue with Nat/Meech nominating Vic/Paul was that it was true betrayal at it's finest. But, of course, those nominations were more James' idea than Nat's. 

"But it was a good game move."

Was it? Was it really? Because Nic/Cor are literally the two sketchiest, flakiest, disloyal people in the house, and they do not win anything. The worst thing about this is that James essentially put Nicorey in the best possible position by pitting Nat/Meech against P/V. And that sucks. Because watching Nicorey' relationship onscreen is a bit like watching two stale potato chips crumble. 

If ya'll read my previous post, you know that I called this. And as a fan of Nat, Paul, and Vic, I find it so disappointing that Natalie will probably be evicted after Michelle. 

Unfortunately for all of us, there is a very good chance that Nicole will make it very far. You can thank James for that. 

And on another note, I think it is very important for all of us to look at most of the remaining houseguests mostly just on a game level. Because all of this petty drama with saying Paul is a racist and Natalie is a bad feminist and constantly pitting the two against each other is so not productive. I truly think that they are both good people and good players, Nat simply made a bad move in the game and lost her place in final 5 because of it. 

What really blows is that Michelle had to take so much heat from this. I'm not a big fan of her, but she was robbed by Nat, and especially James, who convinced her to turn on Paul/Vic. If I were her, I would be livid. She had a huge chance and f3 with them. 

Apologies for this disorganized, ranty post. Just so sick of this pointless drama. 

WEEK 9 SPOILERS/PREDICTIONS (REPOST)

HoH: Natalie/Michelle - ACP: Michelle - Noms: Paul/Victor - Veto: Paul - Veto Used: YES - Replacement Nom: COREY

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, for everyone who is a fan of Michelle yet still defends this interesting game move, you should know: she's getting completely fucked. That is, on the unlikely chance that this alliance between Nicorey and Jatalie actually works out.

While I can really see why Nat would nominate Paul/Vic over Nic/Cor, when you include the jury buybuck with the fact that Vic/Paul are better at comps than any other players in the house, it's a lot more probable that Nat is sending herself home and LOSING AFP, which she previously had in the bag.

Now, I know I just sound like a helpless, whiny, Paul/Vic stan, but honestly, let's look at next week.

HoH PLAYERS: Nic/Cor/Paul/James/ Buyback person, assuming that comp is on friday.

• Nic/Cor suck at comps. I’d give it maybe at 12% chance that Cor could pull this one out. That’s the same chance NYT gives Donald Trump at winning the presidency.
• James’ chances are also pretty slim. He’ll probably assume he’s pretty safe, because the numbers are on his side...right?
• Paul has THE BEST chance of winning HoH next week, unless Vic or Bridg come back, in which case they have pretty decent chances as well.

Nominations:

• Nic/Cor/James nominate Paul and the buyback winner, or Paul and Meech.
• Paul nominates one person from each showmance. Likely James/Nic since he and Meech are allies.

Veto:

• I doubt that Paul could win two vetos in a row. However, he could be pulled off the block if Michelle wins veto. So let’s give him a ⅓ chance of survival under a Nic/Cor/James HoH.
• If Paul wins HoH, James’ chances of surviving the week effectively go to ZERO, which is why I find it incredible that he truly believes he can make it to the end by aligning with Nic/Cor.

Eviction:

• Alright, so under a James/Nic/Cor HoH the noms are Paul/Meech, the only single people in the game, something Michelle should REALLY be taking into consideration.
• OR Paul/buyback winner.
• Paul goes home.
• BUT if Paul wins HoH (far more probable imo), the noms are James/Nic or James/Cor
• Meech/buyback winner are the deciding votes, and either JAMES GOES HOME or ONE OF HIS NEW ALLIES DOES.
• And that’s the hard truth.

The only thing that could really put a wrench into how this season will play out is if our beloved Polly Pocket wins the buyback.

Can’t wait to see how it all goes down! Who do you guys want to win buyback? And who is your predicted winner?

WEDNESDAY RANT! (REPOST)

HOH: James

NOMS: Frank and Bridgette

VETO: Michelle - not used

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can the showmances please SELF EVICT? I'm over it. 

HERE'S THE RUNDOWN 

Michelle:

• Is she serious? Thinking of risking her game for the person everyone in the house currently despises? What an absolute joke. 
• I think bringing politics into the BB house is STUPID, but the fact that Meech is apparently a Trump supporter IS NOT endearing me to her one bit. 
• It is BEYOND ME that she would denounce Bridgette over a crush she previously had on Frank (of all people). Bridg is comp beast, and she's actually incredibly smart. Sure, the house is against her now, but after Frank leaves, things could change. 
• Basically, if Bridg wanted to, she could essentially flip the house on Meech. I think Bridg has an incredibly endearing personality, and that could take her pretty far. 

Bridgette:

• It's time for the hard truth: Bridgette is a BOSS PLAYER who deserves better than the BS people are giving her right now. 
• She made a mistake in choosing Frank as an ally, but has she really ever done anything to anyone in the house to warrant the abuse she's currently enduring?
• It honestly irks me to see the ladies in the house turning against each other in a way that, onscreen, read as incredibly malicious.
• What people in the house are missing is that Bridg is the perfect person to take out Saltine and Triscut, as well as Diet Cody. She's out of fucks to give, she's smart as hell, and she's a total comp beast.   
• Bridg and Frank were the strongest twosome in the house. The other HGs aren't recognizing her prowess. 
• Okay, I'm done stanning her now. 

Frank: 

• Honestly, BB18 Frank is the biggest fuck-up I have ever seen. 
• The game was essentially RIGGED. FOR. HIM. 
• He has an INSANELY strong ally in Bridgette. 
• DAMN IT FRANK. 
• Trust me, I don't stan him. I think he's miserable. But the pathetic nature within his downfall was like...wow. He really could have made it far, but he screwed himself with insanely inappropriate, AVOIDABLE behavior. 
• He and Nicole Saltine are just full evidence of how floppy vets can be. We, as an audience, expected SO MUCH MORE.  

That's my rant for this week guys! Be sure to check in for updates, spoilers, and MORE RANTING!
