10:04am Julie has a message for them (AKA recording)
Hello houseguests.. Every week for the next 7 weeks America will vote to send 1 lucky house guests America’s care package. Each Care package contains an advantage in the game. You are only eligible to receive a care Package from America once but in the even that everyone still left in the game has received a care package then everyone is eligible again.. America already knows what the 7 advantages are and when they will be delivered so it’s up to them..
Week 1 Save a friend
Keep 1 housemate save
Week 2 Oct – 13-14 Pick a veto
The winner of this care package gets the power to pick which type of veto the Houseguests will be competing for this week.
Options will be:
Diamond Veto – The holder of this veto has the power to remove someone from the chopping block and also name the replacement nominee.
Double Veto – Two vetoes will be awarded at the veto competition and in play this week.
Boomerang Veto – The winner of this veto will be able to use it twice. That means the holder could remove two people from the chopping block at the veto meeting.
Week 3 Oct 20-21 Safety servant
The winner of this care package becomes the Safety Servant. Whoever wins it will be safe from eviction this week, but Big Brother will also make them the Head of Household’s personal servant. That means, they must follow every command from Big Brother if they want to remain safe for the week.
week 4 Oct 27-28 Eliminate Three Eviction Votes
The winner of this care package receives the power to eliminate three eviction votes – whoever wins it could single-handedly flip the house by preventing three houseguests of their choosing from voting in next week’s eviction.
week 5 Nov 3-4 Co-hoh
This care package gives the Houseguest of your choice the power of being co-head of household. The winner will be safe for the week, share the perks of being HOH, and also name one of the two nominees for eviction.
Week 6 Nov 9-11 Double Eviction Veto
During this week’s double eviction, the Houseguests will not compete in a veto competition. Instead, the winner of this care package will be awarded with the power of veto.
Week 7 Nov 17-18 The Final 4 challenge
The winner of this care package will receive the opportunity to automatically advance to the final four. In order to earn safety this week and claim their spot in the final four, they will have to complete a challenge given by Big Brother.

MOnte warns them about Kryssie because she’s got a big mouth and talks to Jason late at night.
They agree Kryssie and Neeley could be swayed later in the game.
Monte – it’ll almost be better for our group If I got put up over Shelby.
The house doesn’t want him out as bad as Shelby.

Alex and Scott agree that Danielle will put up one of the girls and that would probably be Alex.

Scott thinks this first Care package will be a slop pass, “It’s safe to almost disregard it”
Alex – what’s your thoughts on Jason
Scott – you scared two pawns and a backdoor

Right after Danielle and Shane leave
Alex – They’re gone… I do not trust them at all.. Shane avoided eye contact for 95% of that conversation that’s huge for me..
Alex – Justin scares me still I would backdoor him I would never put him up first
Whitney’s fine, Morgan’s fine
Kryssie no idea
Scott playing all sides of the house but I have to make sure he thinks he’s good with me so he trust me so I can use him
Shelby is screwed..
Monte is in more trouble that I Originally thought..
Neeley is in a really secure position bot sides really like Neeley
Shane and Danielle are full of shit
Jason I’m so torn… outta everyone I talked to so far (Justin, Shane, Danielle, Jason) I would prefer to work with JAson than all of them.
[polldaddy poll=9543826]
The care packages sound great.
This way Production could really control the house and blame it on America. Jason is going to be forced to win,
i hope you are wrong Huck but I won’t be surprised if Production does rule the season.
Jasons 6 plus Shelby will get the 7 care packages. Yawn.
Jason has way too big of an advantage.
Actually now that I think about it, Jasons 6 person side will get all 7 care packages as when it comes to the 7th package at final 5, all 5 house guests remaining will be from Jasons 6, so they will all be eligible to get a 2nd package. This will go to Jason if he makes final 5, so he will then go straight to final 4.
So to summarize care packages 1 and 3 will keep one member of Jasons side safe. Package 4 will prevent three people who Jason isnt aligned with from being allowed to vote. Package 5 one of Jasons side gets co hoh. Package 6 hands one of Jasons side the veto during the double eviction, just in case someone not from Jasons 6 miraculously reaches final 6, preventing that person from saving themselves in veto if they dont win hoh. Then package 7 one of Jasons side, probably Jason, gets their 2nd care package sending them to final 4. Package 2 only benefits the veto winner(s) so 6 of the 7 packages will help Jasons side, or possibly all 7.
Add Jasons side will be on the good side of every have not vote. Jasons side will never be a 3rd nom. Jasons side will always be on the good side of every Americas eviction vote. In conclusion, someone from Jasons side is virtually assured of winning the game because at least one of them, but more likely two, will be in final 2. So as it stands the 6 people not currently aligned with Jason have almost a zero percent chance of winning the game.
Sorry Dawg. I would of thrown you a vote in the poll if I had seen you were riding the basement before I cast my vote.
You’ve got my vote Dawg.
I love the week two package the most.
Me too. Team Shelby.
No way. Too much power.
Just an experiment. These are guinea pigs.
The Diamond veto is a lot of power.
Look out Scott!
I think the power has gone to her head already. Shane had better watch his back.
I have to say I am really enjoying this season so far! I also wasn’t a fan of Jason his first go around, but I really like him and the people he is aligned with this season.
Thank you Simon and Dawg for all of your hard work! Will there be any polls this season to see where people’s heads are at for care packages, nominations, etc??
Well then you have to like that Jason is leading the care package poll here.
Actually I would prefer him not get this one. If they can only get one until it circles back around I would give this one to krissy or someone else. He doesnt appear to be the target this week.
Jason leading the care package poll? No way, who would have expected that? Shocker!
I just started watching – from what I’ve been reading here I felt like I was missing out! I can’t go back and watch what I missed yet, so I’m hoping someone will be kind and help a girl out.
Why are they called “Plastics”? Plastic surgery is the only thing that comes to mind, but they don’t seem bothered by the name.
The pretty girl group seen as fake. They call them the plastics.
Thank you Ditto! I had been wondering about it too
Remember that is the opinion of the pretty girls though.
I think all these girls are very pretty
The plastics is from the movie “mean girls”.
And I’m still not sure why they’d equate themselves to the pretty but mean, fake, catty girls the plastics were portrayed as in Mean Girls.
Plastics was the name of the group of 4 girls in Mean Girls movie.
I loved that movie.
They should leave Shane as a shield.
I hope there are no returning evicted houseguests this season.
Most of the plastic girls (their words, not mind) aren’t into the gross and kinky stuff coming out of most of the mouths on the other side, so they and Justin in particular think the girls are just fake and sorority type girls. They know the girls are stradigizing, but aren’t they all.
Hey Simon! I’m not falling for any more Texas girls. The last one I liked was Jessie BB15. Then she started bragging about having a 3way with Matt McConahey & Lance Armstrong. You can have ths sistres. Good luck.
Oh no!!!! The care packages who thought this was a good idea anyways at least the care packages are better than last year and that’s saying a lot
I’m sorry but I think he deserves to go on the block, he’s not playing strategically, he wasn’t even a fan of the game saying he doesn’t “know a damn thing” about BB, not my words his…sorry but I think the people who are trying to play the game deserve to be in there, Jason proved himself with winning veto and campaigning with his whole heart and I think America choose the right vote last eviction vote too….but I don’t think America should get wrapped up in the sides, eliminating any off them from what they think they should do…
Who is Scott really with, has he said in the diary room, or can he be smart and pick some players from each side to be with?
Well if Jason’s fan base is going win him a care package I’m glad it is the first one.
Week seven is a pretty good care package too.
Haha Cornbread muttering “fuck y’all” on his way out the door; certainly a BB first. I love it. Should have more pissed off exits with no FCC regulators to worry about
Every season america votes all these powers to lame people based only on demographic popularity so you get Corey or Nicole James ect. getting the powers they dont need or even expect………this season is the antidote for that casual fan voting block (usually casual cbs viewers who don’t really know whats going on) so I personally love this new season and everybody but dillweed Monte.
How can I watch the Eviction Episode? When I try to Flashback to 7:30pst, it shows Kryssie talking on the back yard couch about Cornbread saying something bad about Shelby. Also, I dont see the episode listed on On Demand.
Seems like this way is more fun than the way BB18 was. I love the twists.
Katie girl, I don’t know why everyone keeps saying the episodes are on demand because I have Comcast On Demand and my mom has Dish Network on demand and there is no big brother over the top on either one of our demands. So I have no idea why they keep referring to the episodes being able to be viewed on demand. As far as the flashback not working mine wouldn’t work on the Firefox browser for some reason. Someone in one of the chat rooms said they use the Chrome browser and it was working for them. Since I have not downloaded Chrome onto my new computer yet i instead used Internet Explorer browser and I finally got the flash back to work. My Firefox browser was doing the same thing I kept setting the flashback to a different day and time and it just would continually show the live feed.
Thanks Kandeekane. I heard Julie say that the Eviction Episodes would be available on On Demand the day after they aired on the live feeds. I have Charter On Demand and they are not listed on there. I can get the feeds to work through Internet Explorer but, I cant flashback to the Eviction Episodes. Sucks.
They should have put links on the live feed page to the Eviction Episodes.
Omgosh, shut up already Monte!
Anyone knows the time stamp of when Justin pulled his junk out to Morgan and Monte in the bathroom?
Ok, in a previous post I said Monte sounds dumb when he reads the cards. But after he tells Alex to put up Jason and Danielle in a repeat of his nominations, he is clueless. What does he think will happen?
Let’s see, America puts him(most likely) or someone on his side of the house up and Jason and Danielle both stay again!
Week four is a very strong care package too.
