So, this bribe thing. If he offer's it to James to throw the HOH comp and James refuses, does that mean the bribe is now void and can't be offered to anyone else?

I agree, joystick. Even though I don't think some of the people left in the house have been good for much, they have still managed to not be evicted. They have worked to get tough competitors out of the house and did their share of lying, back-stabbing and manipulating. To have a HG come back in AGAIN, while they know that they have zero chances of getting back in if they get evicted is BS.

Just because BB producers put new elements into the game it doesn't mean that the fans of the show have to like it. I think that if I was in the house and managed to keep my butt from being evicted and also managed to get a tough competitor out of the house, twice, I'd be pretty annoyed. I don't think too many of BB's new "twists" that they throw into the game have ever improved the game in any way.

It's a good thing that James sent Vic out the door. If he had voted out Corey, Corey would have been off the wall quickly and Paulie would have won.

James better not give this to Nicole.

Happy that Paulie is out of it. Disappointed in the three women jurors. Seems like they gave up with out a fight.

I like James. From what I have seen of him in both of his season's is he is a really nice guy. I haven't heard him speak badly about anyone. He has treated Natalie with respect and has been gentle and compassionate through all her aches and pains, helping her as much as he could but also leaving her alone when she needs it. In his subtle way, he has steered his way through the game, pushing here and there and taking chances when he needed to, keeping both himself and Natalie safe and moving forward. Yep, I like him. So is it wrong that whenever I see him I think of an ewok?

I actually found it a bit creepy the way he was acting all pumped up, his babbling, way to long speech that Julie didn't stop like she usually does and his over the top cheerful behavior with Julie outside. His face was flushed and he was grinning and laughing like he was just named MVP.

While it could be possible that production may nudge and try to push HG in certain directions from the DR, I doubt they would go so far as to rig the one way ticket. When you consider how many people work behind the scenes who would know that it was rigged and the chances that they might slip up and tell someone who might tell someone else and then it would explode, that would cause some serious legal issues for CBS. But they do know who has it and that is why we didn't hear about a jury member coming back until they knew for certain that the HG going out wasn't going back in. One HG was going back in one way or the other. Each of them will have two chances this season to go back into the game. Hope this jury comp is a balanced one that any of the jury has the ability to win.

This one was down for awhile but it worked for me last night: http://www.videobrother.net/live-stream

An old children's rhyme for Paulie the pie boy: Paulie Porgie, Puddin' and Pie, Kissed the girls and made them cry, When the boys came out to play, Paulie Porgie ran away.

It seems to me that Paulie wanted to recreate the Derrick and Cody alliance except he wanted to be Derrick and Corey as Cody. He wanted to be the puppet master, deciding who would go each week. And a big part of it was he wanted to do better than little brother Cody, winning the game and not coming in second. Now he is faced with going home a loser, not even getting close to second place.

Corey is a follower. He has followed Paulie's lead since the first week in the house. I don't think he has had one thought of his own and he has no idea how to play BB. It seems to me that he thinks he is in the BB frat house, he has his bros, girls that are for using and then dumping and fun games to play a few times a week. Only thing missing is getting knee-walking drunk, watching one of the bros try to set an innocent animal on fire and then puking and passing out.

Paulie is playing every card he can think of. The girl broke my heart card, the waterworks card, the romantic, emotional guy card and the family needs money card. But the best one is the claustrophobic card...I can't be closed up in the jury house because I'll freak out but I am fine being locked in the BB house, sometimes not even able to go outside for a couple days and every week being trapped in the HoH room with a bunch of other people because it is a game.

UG. Why Nicole, America? She has been up Paulie and Corey's butts this whole time, hasn't done a damn thing game wise and was needlessly mean to Z. She would sit there and listen to all the stuff Paulie would say about Z and then go to Z and tell her that the relationship with Paulie was sooo good. When she gets caught out in her lies and back stabbing she whines, says it's all lies or it wasn't her fault. I think being called a snake has really messed with her head, though. She doesn't like the idea that viewers will see her as a snake. But this care package is going to boost her ego. She will be thinking that America has her back.

Not only was it Paulie who back doored him but it was Paulie who decided he was the target and they all fell in line and voted him out because Paulie said so. These guys stroke each other about how they control the women and their votes but somehow, in Victor's little brain, he holds these two women responsible for the nine votes. Victor has gone out of his way to be mean to Michelle from the beginning. He enjoys making her cry. And just last week he made the comment that Michelle needed to be "boned" and Paul or Paulie had to do it. It seems to me that Paulie, Paul and Victor don't like or respect women. The constant explicit sexual comments and seventh grade "jokes" are aways meant to degrade the women in the house.

Paulie has been talking about how they will use James' care package to their (his) advantage. I don't know if he has even talked with James about it, I think King Paulie just assumes that everyone will do whatever he wants.

That would be beautiful. But I just don't see it happening. Vic's lips seem to be stuck on Paulie's butt and will stay there until Paulie prys them off so Vic can go to the jury house.

Well, that's a waste. It would be nice if they could be used to screw up Paulie's...um, Victor's HoH.

Does he have to use it this week? He can't keep it for future evictions?

I would hope that Vic was plotting his revenge against Paulie all this time and now that he is HoH, he is going to put his plan to back door Paulie into play. Put two girls up. Paulie doesn't get picked or doesn't win the veto. Then, one comes down and Vic gets to say. Paulie, you put me there, now it's your turn. Nah, you are right, joystick. Spineless followers.

Maybe she has realized that she has been clinging tight to Corey and he doesn't feel strongly for her. Now she is trying to cover her butt so she doesn't look like the the love sick fool that she has been for weeks.

Too bad Z couldn't get a special care package. A book titled "He's Just Not That Into You". She could share it with Nicole.

I really hate it when these people come into the house and end up putting their whole game into someone else's hands.How hard would it be for them to say, Paulie, I appreciate your input but I really want Thing One and Thing Two on the block. I hope you will support my decision just as I have supported yours.

He will put up whoever Paulie tells him to put up. Definitely Z since Paulie is tired of her and having someone else do his dirty of work putting her on the block will keep his hands clean for her jury vote.
