Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Big Brother 18 Week 10 Game and Show

Tom's Take

Well the week that should have been the best week ever, ended up being a bit of a clusterfuck, for me and my fellow Natalie fans. That said, there was some excellent gameplay, and I think it deserves some dissection. I'm  writing this late, and I know who came back, and I'm just writing off the other jurors. There was a great scene of Paulie getting his comeuppance, but otherwise they all fell apart.

I think Meech made the right move going with James and Natalie, (she didn't really have a choice) but she needed to do a better job of cozying up with Nicole and Corey, instead of constantly trying to turn James and Natalie against Corey and Nicole, which ultimately didn't work.

Awards: My Personal Favorite,

Natalie made the right noms, although not necessarily for the right reasons. She also did a great job of reeling in Meech. Unfortunately, just like James and Nat, she didn't do a very good job of assuring Nicole and Corey, but honestly I mostly blame James for that, since in the partnership of James of Natalie, he was the one with the Nicole and Corey connection. I REALLY wanted to give Nat the Best Play of the week award, but she dropped the ball, and another picked it up.

Corey stayed, but really through none of his doing.

4. Paul

Awards:Star of the Show, Best Player of the Week

Paul stayed this week due to his veto win, he created a great idea that almost saved Victor, and he DID create a massive rift between James/Nat and Corey/Nicole.  He is the best player in the house, and it is not close.

5. Victor

Awards:

Despite being evicted for the second time, Victor actually played pretty well this week, He was good enough to get Nat and Meech to want to keep him. And James looked like he was flipping before feeds cut.

6.  James

Awards:

James made the right move this week, but he executed it so horribly that he is in a bad spot now.

7. Nicole

I don't want to get carried away, because Nicole did very little to save her and Corey, but she did do SOMETHING, and so I guess that gets her some credit.
