Big Brother 18 Day 14
June 28, 2016
11:00-12:00 PM: Nicole told Da’Vonne, Frank and Zakiyah that she woke up today and remembered why she is there. She said that she cannot get distracted by anything. Frank told the three of them that he is probably closest with them. They discussed their group of eight being solid. However, they worried about Tiffany. Da’Vonne brought up that they were discussing how nobody can flip their vote and then Tiffany said especially not when somebody else may vote the other way in order to show they still have loyalty to that side. For that reason, Da’Vonne worried that Tiffany may pull an Audrey and switch her vote at the last minute. Frank figured that Tiffany just likes to throw ideas out there even when they are things that don’t need to be said. That being said, they agreed that Tiffany needs to be the first to go out of their eight person alliance. As for James, Da’Vonne said she is not worried about him yet but she needs to separate him from Natalie. Zakiyah said she is fine with Natalie being the last to go from the other side. Frank told her that he would be fine with Natalie or Bridgette being the last one there. Downstairs, Paulie and Tiffany chatted in the bedroom. Tiffany asked Paulie if he had seen the Twitter rumor before the season about “10, 4, 2”. She said it was for 10 newbies, 4 returnees and 2 siblings. Paulie had not. As they continued to chat, Paulie asked Tiffany if she is trying to make a sibling pact. Tiffany said that she didn’t say anything. Paulie told her it’s alright if she wants to throw that out there. She asked if he is trying to make one. Paulie said maybe but they did not discuss it any further. Paulie thinks that there are six clear targets in the house, implying that they are Bronte, Bridgette, Jozea, Natalie, Paul and Victor. He said they will not change in his mind.
Back up in the HoH room, Nicole asked Frank if he is going to try to win HoH. Frank said hell yeah. She then asked if the plan is still for the four returnees to stay solid. Frank was joking with her that they are his #1 priority to get out of the house. He then joked that his loyalties lie with Corey and Paulie. Frank eventually let Nicole know that he is still solid with the four returnees. He said James is the only one who he worries about a little bit. Nicole mentioned that she had talked with Da’Vonne a bit and they had agreed that their top priority is keeping the returnees safe. They discussed plans for further down the road. Nicole said she is not someone who is cool with just getting to jury like many of the others are. As for the type of player that she would like to be at the end with, Nicole said she would want to be there with someone who is deserving. She told Frank that she would lose respect for someone who took a person to the end who has not done anything. Frank threw Michelle’s name out there as someone who hasn’t done anything. Frank asked Nicole who she would like to target first out of their eight. Nicole implied that it would have to be Tiffany. Frank agreed. He said that Tiffany can be emotional and that she gets quite paranoid. Da’Vonne then joined them. Frank said they have their group of four returnees and then have four soldiers on top of that. He singled out Tiffany as not being the best soldier. Frank admitted that he was not happy about Tiffany telling Paulie that she is Vanessa’s sister and then telling him that she had told the vets. Frank felt that it put them in bad spot since they had been acting as if they did not know about it.
1:00-2:00 PM: Out by the hot tub, Michelle spoke to Jozea. She was building up his confidence about the vote. She and her allies want Jozea to be blinsided when he is evicted on Thursday. She told him that she is glad he will be there for the 4th of July because it is going to be awesome. She mentioned that it doesn’t even matter which way she votes because he will have the votes either way. While Jozea agreed that it doesn’t matter, he said that voting in his favour would show honesty. Jozea went on to discuss his game, saying that he has a powerful voice. Michelle agreed and said she has never seen something like that before. Jozea didn’t want to call himself the Messiah this time. He was trying to think of another word. Michelle called him the saviour.
2:00-3:00 PM: Frank told Corey that he predicts a clean sweep is coming next week. He said they are going to win HoH, PoV and the Road Kill competition. Frank figured that they would be fine as long as they win either HoH or the Road Kill. He told Corey that once the loud mouths are out the door, the next few weeks will be quiet. Frank said the girls might want Bronte to go before Paul. Frank was fine with that. Frank pointed out that Paul doesn’t have a whole lot of common sense or else he wouldn’t be listening to Jozea. Frank felt the same way about Bridgette and Bronte as well. The guys discussed that they will need to get girls out at some point. Corey mentioned that the girls will have the numbers over them even if their group continues to win. However, Frank didn’t think that their group would ever look at it that way. Corey said he wants to get to the eight as soon as possible because then it will really get fun. Frank said they may have to cut Tiffany before they get down to eight because she is the one who he is a little weary about. Corey said he has been weary of her since Day 1 as well. Frank said he was great at competitions during his season and it feels great to be with someone who he thinks can be just as great at them this season.
3:00-4:00 PM: Da’Vonne and Michelle spoke at the hammock. James said if anyone flips he thinks that it will be Michelle and Tiffany. He said those two are so close. As she had said earlier, Da’Vonne told James that she is concerned about Tiffany wanting to be like Audrey because she likes Audrey. James called Tiffany an emotional player. Da’Vonne said that the slightest thing breaks her. James added that she is like Vanessa in so many ways. Paulie joined them. James told him that he is doing a great job of playing dead. Paulie was irritated by the way that people are acting even when he is doing that. After Da’Vonne left, Paulie told James that people underestimate how good Frank and James are in competitions. James said he would love to win HoHs but there is no point. He mentioned Derrick’s advice about not winning unless you have to. Paulie isn't planning on following that advice this week because he wants to win HoH. James also brought up that he cannot win because all of the targets are on his team and he does not want them to be safe.
4:00-5:00 PM: Bridgette and Bronte discussed the vote. Bronte said it seems as though Paulie will go home but she doesn’t know if the others have a trick up their sleeve. Bridgette asked what they should do if Jozea goes home. Bronte said they will have to hope that one of them wins HoH. Bronte figures that whichever side has the vote goes their way will be able to pick off the other side if they win the next HoH as well. Bridgette thought that the other side would want to get the guys out, such as Victor, before they would target them. Bronte didn’t think that she is very well liked by the other side. The girls discussed that they will have to pitch getting the guys out first and make a deal that they too will target the guys.
5:00-6:00 PM: Bridgette, Bronte and Natalie spoke on the hammock. Bronte said it is weirding her out that the other side is not making an effort to save Paulie. Bridgette said it scares her. They were concerned that there could be something going on that they don’t know about. Bronte said Corey and Nicole are a bit of a power couple. She wants to split them up if she wins HoH. Natalie brought up that Nicole already played the game once and she got two chances that time so she has a lot of experience. Meanwhile, Paulie and Tiffany spoke in the safari room. They discussed approaching Natalie and Paul in order to cover themselves in the event that either of those two were to win HoH. Tiffany thought that they could make a deal not to nominate each other. Paulie wasn’t so sure that it would be a good idea to do it directly because Paul has a big mouth. He figured that those two would come to them naturally. In the kitchen, the feeds cut in mid conversation to Da’Vonne saying to Frank and James that Tiffany has been doing too much, talking to everybody. Frank said they have explained to her a couple of times how important the blindside is. Frank was told by Jozea that he is hearing that the vote will be 7-4. A short while later, Da’Vonne warned Tiffany that James is nervous about her talking to the other side and thinks that she may have to be the first one on their side to go. Tiffany didn’t understand why James would do that to her. Tiffany said James is projecting because he is the one who is always with the other side. Tiffany figured that she makes James nervous because he sees her as Vanessa. Da’Vonne assured her that there are more people who have iffy feelings about James than do about her.
6:00-7:00 PM: Tiffany told Michelle that James doesn’t trust her and wants to nominate her. Michelle couldn’t believe it. Tiffany said it’s ridiculous and makes no sense. The talk was then broken up. Tiffany headed outside. Nicole asked Da’Vonne if Tiffany is mad at her. Da’Vonne explained that Tiffany overheard a conversation in which James said that he doesn’t trust her. Nicole didn’t understand why Tiffany was being weird around her unless she heard something about her. Nicole said she feels as though Tiffany is coming after her now. Nicole went to Tiffany to ask if she is okay. She wondered if Tiffany is mad at her. Tiffany assured Nicole that she is not mad at her or any of the girls. She explained that some stuff is going around about her right now and she is pissed off about it. Tiffany then spoke to James. She felt that James gave her a weird look earlier when she asked which way he is voting. She thought that may be why he doesn’t trust her. She explained to James that the reason she asked that question is because it was discussed that James could vote the other way in order to stay in good with his team which would benefit their entire alliance. James assured Tiffany that there is nothing wrong between them. Tiffany said she feels that sometimes James looks at her and sees Vanessa. James said it’s weird because their mannerisms and everything are the same. Tiffany said she isn’t always thinking like that and she is chilling. James told her not to worry and said he didn’t mean to give off a weird vibe earlier when she asked him about his vote. Da’Vonne went to Frank and said she is convinced that Tiffany heard their conversation because she came up to her and asked if James trusts her. They discussed that they don’t want to have to babysit Tiffany. Da’Vonne headed up to the HoH room to tell Tiffany that everyone is asking her what’s wrong with her. Tiffany asked what exactly James said about her. Da’Vonne said simply that he does not trust her. Tiffany said she would like it to be out in the open so that their group knows that there is no issue and that she just needed to see eye to eye with James on something. Da’Vonne said that’s not a good idea and she should talk one on one with James. Da’Vonne brought up having a conversation with Nicole about how to get Corey, Frank and James out. Tiffany suggested that they could use Paul and Paulie to take them out.
9:00-10:00 PM: Da’Vonne was alone in the HoH room when she decided to talk to the camera. She said that she has to win the next HoH. As an alternative, she said that she could pull away from everybody, mind her own business and chill. She pointed out that Frank is doing just that, not really talking to anyone and letting them talk to him instead. Da’Vonne then headed outside. Da’Vonne, Frank and Zakiyah discussed the possibility of Tiffany flipping her vote. Frank said she would be shooting herself in the foot if she were to do that. He mentioned that they don’t need an eight person alliance if that happens. Frank brought up that Paulie seems to talk to Tiffany the most. Da’Vonne said Michelle talks to her a lot too, though Frank did not think that Michelle would choose Tiffany over the alliance. Da’Vonne then spoke to James. She told him that Frank said they don’t need eight. James agreed and said that it is a pretty big alliance. He wondered if it would be best to target Tiffany first or to go after Michelle once they decide to take out one of their own. Da’Vonne let James know that she only shares all of her information with the returnees. She said that the newbies in their alliance are so excited to play that all they do is talk. James said they are on a need to know basis. Jozea joined Da’Vonne at the hot tub. He reiterated that the votes are secure for him to stay. In the event that he leaves, Jozea said that he would be heartbroken, he would cry and he would call everyone out.
11:00-12:00 AM: Frank asked Nicole about having any Final 2 deals. In particular, he asked if James has come to her about a deal. Nicole said that she would never take James to the Final 2. Frank asked why. Nicole said that she just wouldn’t. She added that she would rather take Frank because she would love to sit next to him. Frank said he is willing to make that deal. They then shook on a Final 2 deal. Nicole let Frank know that in her bio she put Frank down as her favourite houseguest and said she wishes that he would be in the house with her.
12:00-1:00 AM: Michelle and Tiffany were alone in the HoH room. Michelle asked Tiffany about what had happened with James. She wanted to know who else knows about it. Tiffany said Da’Vonne is the only one who knows because she is not supposed to tell anyone but she tells Michelle everything. She went on to explain that James is worried because she talks to a lot of people. Michelle pointed out that James does that too. Their talk was quickly broken up. Downstairs, Bridgette, Bronte and Natalie spoke in the bathroom. They agreed that they have to stick together even when the guys in their group try to break them apart. Bronte said that Jozea, Paul and Victor think that they will be the Final 3 but it is not happening. She claimed that she would blow their heads off if it got down to the six of them. They agreed that Paulie needs to go this week.
1:00-2:00 AM: In the bedroom, Natalie told a number of the houseguests about rude comments that Victor makes towards her. Jozea wanted to get Victor to clear things up. Natalie said that Victor’s delivery is wrong every day. She told Jozea that she does not appreciate that. Jozea went to Paul and Victor to inform Victor that Natalie does not like the way that he talks to her. He said that Victor’s delivery is wrong. Paul got angry when he heard that, saying that Victor was sweet to Natalie but then he backed off once Natalie was flirting with everyone. After some back and forth, Victor went to get Natalie to talk things over. Victor asked what he can do better. Natalie pointed out that it seems though he is nitpicking her at times. Victor felt that Jozea would make worse comments than he would. Natalie explained that it is different because Jozea is like a girlfriend to her. Victor said he does his best to keep everyone happy. Natalie said he is like a sergeant at times. Victor apologized to Natalie. She assured him that it is okay. Outside, Paul was heated about being called immature. He thought that he had been belittled. He did not like that Bridgette told him that there was girl talk going on when he went in the room. Bronte joined them and said that James is trying to break their group apart by telling Natalie that Victor asked Nicole out on a date. Due to fish and feeds being on a different room, the comment was not shown on the feeds if it was made at all. Victor could not believe what he was hearing. He said that it did not happen. Victor wanted to confront James. Bronte said that he cannot do that. She said that it will only make them look like the bad guys and push Natalie towards James.
2:00-3:00 AM: Paul said that James is the mastermind and he needs his group to believe him. Bronte said she knows that James is the mastermind. She told the others that she will calm Natalie down because it’s clear that she has feelings for Victor and it is causing a lot of problems. There was plenty of tension with Paul and Victor wanting to call James out. Jozea pleaded with them not do it at this time. They agreed not to until after the vote. Jozea spoke to Bronte and Natalie in order to do damage control. James sat in the room, listened and chimed in with his comments along the way. Once things wrapped up, Jozea spoke to Natalie one on one. He told her that Bronte let them know that James said Victor had asked Nicole out. Natalie said James didn’t say that and it is news to her. They went outside to join Bronte, Paul and Victor. Bronte said that Natalie was talking with Victor when James made the comment about Victor asking Nicole out. The group agreed that they need to remain calm and stay strong. It was discussed that Bridgette is with the other side and that she cannot be trusted. Jozea later threw it out there that he is close to blowing up her game and getting the house to flip on her. Paul and Victor told him not to do that.
