Big Brother 18 Day 15
June 29, 2016
9:00-10:00 AM: The houseguests got an early wake up call because they had to head up to the HoH room for a lockdown. Before it took place, Jozea said that he feels secure. Bronte told him that he is not going home and that it will feel so good when Paulie does. Bronte later told Natalie that the other side will only have five votes even if Corey, Frank, James, Michelle and Tiffany decide to vote Jozea out. Bronte and Natalie agreed that Da’Vonne and Zakiyah will vote with them so they should still be good. There was still tension between James and the other side of the house, after what went down last night. Bronte questioned what America saw in James when they voted him as America’s Favorite. Elsewhere, Paul was fed up with the pranks. He found crackers in the bedroom which led him to say that he will start kicking people in the head if he finds an ant in his bed.
10:00-11:00 AM: After the HoH lockdown, Nicole asked James whose bed has crackers in it. James said he put them in Corey’s bed and then Corey threw them all over the room. Frank joined and informed James that the others were in the kitchen saying that his pranks are petty. Michelle said that what’s petty is crying about crackers. She told James that people are grouchy. She admitted that she finds his pranks to be funny. James said he is going to go stir some shit up. Natalie had entered the bedroom.
11:00-12:00 PM: James headed to the kitchen and said that the pranks are petty. Paul brought up the ants and how he is sick of being bit on his arm and his neck. James questioned if they bite. Victor said it doesn’t matter since they are ants nonetheless. James told him that they will have ants either way. He said that Victor needs to lighten up. Victor said James needs to stop with the pranks. James let Victor know that he needs to have fun, not be so wound up and bring out the kid in him. He added that laughing is good for the soul. The subject eventually changed. Meanwhile, Bronte told Natalie there is no doubt that both Frank and James will be voting to evict Jozea. She said that it will all come down to Da’Vonne and Zakiyah. Natalie pointed out that those two are always up in the HoH room. That being said, Bronte figured that they would still not vote Jozea out. She said that Da’Vonne and Zakiyah will be the first to go if they vote Jozea out and she wins HoH. Bronte figured that there couldn’t be a master plan in all of this. As for James and his pranks, she saw it as James looking for a fight. She didn’t understand why he would be doing this to his own teammate in Victor. Bronte said James will be the next to go if all goes according to plan. Bronte said she could beat James up right now and she wants to kick his little Asian ass back to Hong Kong or wherever he came from. Upstairs around the chess table, Paul spoke with James about the pranks. He made it clear that he does not want to get caught in the middle of everything because he likes both James and Victor. However, he explained that some people can take jokes and some can’t. James said he is trying to get Victor to lighten up at least a bit. He said that he is there to have fun and if it was bother Victor so badly, he should have spoke to him personally. James did not like that Victor was being nice to his face and then talking about him behind his back. James said he would speak to Victor about it all to clear things up.
12:00-1:00 PM: Corey let James and Nicole know that when James was approaching him this morning, Victor was telling himself not to threaten or punch him. Nicole said she would have punched Victor if he had punched James. Corey assured Nicole that he wouldn’t have let Victor get to James. Nicole advised Corey to be careful and not punch anyone or doing anything that can get him kicked out. James said it’s only Day 15 and Victor might crack. Corey and Nicole agreed that Victor is close to cracking. James said he would flop like a wrestler or basketball player in the event that Victor hits him. James said he had planned to apologize to Victor until he heard all of this from Corey.
1:00-2:00 PM: Paul approached Victor and told him he has got to talk to him right now. He told Victor to keep this to himself. Paul said Corey and James are 100% working together. Paul let Victor know that James was talking about bringing crackers and toast to Victor as an olive branch, trying to mess with him. Paul added that Corey told James that he should play a game of chess and say that he is going after his queen, implying Natalie. Victor said he doesn’t care. Paul said he is giving Victor the information so that he knows about it.
5:00-6:00 PM: Da’Vonne told Frank that Jozea said he will raise hell if he is evicted tomorrow. Da’Vonne figured that it will get ugly. Frank thought that they must be able to see it coming a little bit at this point. Da’Vonne agreed and said that they are panicking. Frank said that he will want to yell over Jozea if he tries to say anything before he goes. He also said that he would use one of Boogie’s lines that Ian used, telling Jozea to “get to steppin’”. Da’Vonne said that Jozea has to go straight back out the door in the event that he returns. Paulie said he would like to lean over and whisper “bye Jozea” into Jozea’s ear just before Julie reads the vote.
7:00-8:00 PM: Up in the HoH room, Frank brought up that James told Natalie about Victor asking Nicole out on a date. Nicole immediately questioned what happened and how it got out. Tiffany clarified that James told the people in their bedroom but Natalie was not there. Nicole acknowledged that Victor essentially asked her out without asking her out. She said he told her that he would like to hang out after the show because he likes her personality a lot and she is his type. Frank suggested that Nicole have a heart to heart with Natalie in order to let her know what Victor said. Nicole said that she did want to play with someone’s heart like that. James said it’s Big Brother and they are planting seeds. A short while later, Frank got the chance to speak with Natalie. Bridgette was also in the room. Frank let Natalie know that something that was said last night that someone is claiming is a lie is not actually a lie. Natalie said that’s a low blow if she is getting lied to. Frank brought up that Victor has called the girls expendable and Jozea has said that he has them eating out of the palm of his hand. Natalie didn’t know who to believe. Frank said she can believe him. She asked if James seems like a malicious person. Natalie said no. Frank said exactly. Natalie asked why Frank is voting with this group. Frank told her that he will vote with the majority and the majority is shifting because of things like this. Natalie claimed that she would be fine with Victor asking Natalie out but she does not like being lied to.
8:00-9:00 PM: Natalie told Nicole that she wants to know the truth. She said that she doesn’t like Victor anymore but she wants to know if Victor asked her out. Nicole said that Victor didn’t straight up ask her out but he asked her about hanging out after the show because he likes her personality. Nicole said she thinks that it was purely strategy on his part. Natalie assured Nicole that she would never hate her or bed mad at her for liking Victor. Nicole made it clear that Natalie does not have to worry about her liking Victor. Frank let Corey and James know that he had told Natalie that Victor is lying to her. He then headed up to the HoH room to fill in the rest of the group. He told Da’Vonne, Michelle, Paulie and Zakiyah. In the living room, Natalie spoke to Tiffany. They discussed the vote. Tiffany asked Natalie what she would like to have happen tomorrow. Natalie said she has no idea anymore. Natalie said she already has an idea of who is going to go home. She pointed out that Paulie is acting really chill. Tiffany said she has noticed that and maybe something could be going on. However, she said she doesn’t know for sure which way things are going to go. Tiffany told Natalie that they will have to feel out the temperature of the house tomorrow. She let Natalie know that she will talk to her more tomorrow.
9:00-10:00 PM: Tiffany spoke to Da’Vonne, Frank and Zakiyah about her chat with Natalie. She told them that Natalie said she doesn’t trust her alliance and therefore she could be someone who they could use to help get the other side out. She added that Natalie is definitely someone who they could get to vote with the real majority if they want. Tiffany mentioned that they have to be careful because they need it to be a blindside. Later, Da’Vonne told Frank that she doesn’t know what Tiffany is up to. Frank said Tiffany is someone who wants to act like she is a part of moves. He also thought that she wanted to play both sides like they are so that she seems like she is a player. Frank said Tiffany needs to chill with the hats. Da’Vonne wondered if she is slowly trying to let people know who she is. Frank said Tiffany is now looking silly since she is trying to be just like Vanessa. Frank told Da’Vonne that Tiffany did mention that they need the vote to be a blindside so she may be on board with them. Da’Vonne couldn’t see her voting Paulie out since they are close.
10:00-11:00 PM: Frank asked Natalie what she plans to do tomorrow. She said kick someone out. Natalie asked Frank who he is voting out. Frank asked if she think that he will let one of his teammates go. Natalie said obviously not. Natalie questioned why Frank waited until today to try to get her to vote his way. Frank explained that he did not know which way the majority was going to go. Natalie said she has a very strong feeling that Paulie will be safe. However, she did not want to break her word to Jozea. Frank let her know that’s fine. He told her to throw HoH tomorrow and let things play out the way that they are going to play out. He said one of her teammates is the target, implying that it is Victor. Natalie wanted some assurance that she would not end up being a nominee or a target. Frank told her that she will not be. Natalie said it is a lot to process and she needs some time to take it all in. Not long after, Natalie told Bronte and Victor that Jozea is going home tomorrow. She followed that up by saying that she feels it. Victor disagreed. Natalie questioned if he really believes that Frank will vote out his own teammate. Victor said yes. Bronte told Natalie that they are fine as long as Da’Vonne and Zakiyah vote Paulie out. Natalie went back to Frank and asked that they keep everything that they talked about between the two of them. She reiterated that she will be sticking to her word and evicting Paulie. Natalie asked what she and Bronte are supposed to do since they will be on their own if they do what Frank wants. Frank told her that there is not an alliance but rather a majority of people.
11:00-12:00 AM: James spoke to Natalie and cleared the air about last night. He said that he was trying to help Natalie by telling her about Victor asking Nicole on a date. He insisted that it was genuine. Natalie let James know that she has his back. Natalie then told Bronte she feels that Jozea is going to go. Bronte asked if she has heard people say that they are voting Jozea out. Natalie said yes but would not name names. Natalie said she will be voting Paulie out but she thinks that they need to reevaluate their game plan after tomorrow. Natalie thought that they may need to distance themselves from the guys because Jozea, Paul and Victor are all targets. She told Bronte that she will not be going against the house moving forward.
12:00-1:00 AM: Nicole told Corey, Michelle and Paulie that she doesn’t understand why they are now bringing everyone over onto their side. Paulie said Frank isn’t bring the girls over but rather trying to make sure that they will throw the HoH competition. Tiffany pointed out that this works out perfectly for Frank now since the three girls that he spoke to are now going to go to him in the future. She explained that information is power in this game and therefore it needs to be dealt with very carefully. Tiffany thought that Frank should have ran it by the group before he decided to tell the girls everything. James entered the room and informed the group that Bronte just pulled Jozea aside. They feared that she would tell Jozea about the plan. Bronte did not bring up anything about Jozea going home. Jozea went to Victor and let him know that Bronte is upset because Bridgette is being frantic and is saying that Paulie might stay. Jozea felt that this was all part of the other side’s plan to cause chaos. Paul spoke to Bronte in the storage room in order to get an idea of what is going on. Bronte said that “they” are going cray cray about their gut feelings. Paul asked who they is. Bronte only named Bridgette. Paul said they will need to go into Rambo mode if Jozea goes home tomorrow. Up in the HoH room, many members of the Eight Pack discussed what Frank had done. Nicole admitted that what concerns her is that she had wanted Victor to be surprised so that he wouldn’t win HoH. Frank said it will still be a blindside because the other side thinks that they have Da’Vonne and Zakiyah. After things wrapped up, Frank said everything is fine even though Tiffany came at him. The two went back and forth. Tiffany insisted that she didn’t say anything and that Frank doesn’t understand he style of communication. Tiffany said she will explain herself but it doesn’t look like Frank wants to hear it. Frank said he doesn’t want to. Tiffany then stormed out of the HoH room. She said that that type of attitude is what she cannot stand. Nicole told Frank that you cannot tell a girl that you don’t want to hear what she has to say right now.
1:00-2:00 AM: Down in the bedroom, Tiffany was venting about what had happened. Many of her alliance member were there for at least a portion of the conversation. Bridgette was there the entire time. Tiffany told James and Nicole that Frank gets loud and screams in order to put fear in people. She said people are scared of Frank for that reason. Tiffany mentioned it is the third time that Frank has done this to her. Tiffany suggested that Frank may be feeling guilty about what he did and therefore he was defensive. Nicole asked if Tiffany would come talk to Frank quickly. Tiffany said not right now. She said she doesn’t deal well with Frank’s aggressive nature. Tiffany called Frank a chauvinist. Nicole headed up and told Frank that Tiffany is crying and she is very pissed off at him. Frank said that’s fine and that he has already apologized to her once so he will not be doing it again. Frank pointed out that Vanessa would try to intimidate people and would then break down and cry when somebody did the same to her. They felt that Tiffany was being like Vanessa in this moment.
