Yesterday was another day of the same old, same old. Whichever two house guests were together and out of earshot of the third vowed their undying loyalty to each other. In all likelihood none of it is true. Last night we saw the last of the pre-finale shows and it was actually an okay show.
In Friday's show we saw the start of the cat comp which was kind of cute. It was largely a wall comp with three different wall surfaces, a windowsill, a ball of yarn/rope, and a scratching post. The house guests had to follow a laser as it moved from one to the other to determine which wall they had to mount, then they had to hold on until the laser came back and led them to a new wall. We only saw a minute or two of the comp, but it looked pretty cute. (We know Paul won.)
After the show the house guests were just hanging out until nine BB time to go to bed. Then BB called for part two of the HOH comp to begin. We don't have a lot of details on that other than it involved putting pictures in frames in the right order. Nicole won that comp.
Now with Paul winning part one and Nicole winning part two, the pair are absolutely, positively taking each other to the final two, unless they're not. I personally think they'll each take James. Corey told Nicole to take James and she said she'd be stupid not to. Victor told Paul to take James and he said he'd be stupid not to. If you listen to what they're saying now, James is to be discarded, but I think that's all spin and they're both planning to take him to the final two, they just don't want the other one to know they're taking James to the final two hoping the other one will then not try so hard for part three.
So, as boring as the house been, the boring factor will now get ramped up a few more notches. With all of the comps now done but the last one on Wednesday, nothing much will happen. So, all day Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday will be spent thumb twiddling as they wait for Wednesday. Both Paul and Nicole would be smart to let James think he wasn't being taken to the finale so he's less prepared to give a speech and make a case for why he should win, while both Paul and Nicole are sharpening their knives and looking for a nice soft spot in the other's back to plant them.
Don't expect much in the way of updates as nothing new will be happening. We have entered the dead part of the BB 18 season. By the way Dr. Will has/will be the one addressing the jury members again. At this stage of the game you have twelve people being held hostage against their will (nine jurors in a hotel, three house guests in the house) with none of them doing anything until Wednesday. In all likelihood they all know what's going to happen (give or take a jury vote or two) and there's about five minutes of actual suspense left, but we've all got to wait forever for those five minutes.
Just a brief note about BB Over the Top, the new fall version of Big Brother. There are a few people insisting this will all be filmed on a brand new set I don't think that will be the case and I've seen nothing official from BB saying that will be the case. The cost of building a second house would be pretty substantial and unless they were planning to kill off the first house and replace it with the new house, it wouldn't really make a lot of sense. Building the control room, equipping the house with the cameras, microphones and assorted technical what nots, is all pretty expensive. To do that for a seventy day run seems a bit 'over the top' to me. (Pardon the pun.) They just finished upgrading the existing cameras and control room to HD last year (or the year before.) to repeat that expense this soon seems a bit odd. I strongly suspect they'll just bring in a crew and redecorate the old house in a day or two and toss the new players back into the same old house.
