Big Brother 18 Day 17 - Bronte, Paul and Tiffany are nominated for eviction
July 1, 2016
11:00-12:00 PM: The nomination ceremony took place. Paulie nominated Bronte and Paul for eviction. Victor told Paul that this has to be a backdoor play to get him out of the house. Paul asked if their best move is for him to win Road Kill and nominate Victor. Victor said no. He told Paul that the best case scenario is that he wins the veto because he will be going on the block and voted out if anyone else wins the veto. Up in the HoH room, Corey said Victor has to know that he is about to be backdoored. Frank didn’t think that Victor would understand. Paulie mentioned that Paul didn’t even understand what a backdoor is. Tiffany said that it was a good thing that Paulie nominated those two instead of Natalie. Downstairs, Michelle and Nicole both expressed that they are happy that Bronte is nominated instead of Natalie. Da’Vonne said she is praying that the boys didn’t make a deal with Victor. Michelle said it seemed as though Paulie was going to nominate Natalie and Victor but then Frank worked his magic. In the bathroom, Bronte asked Natalie if she could choose her to play in the veto competition. Natalie said yes. James told Bronte that he too would use the veto on her if he happened to win it. The girls are aware that Victor would be the replacement nominee. Paulie said he had let Bronte know that the plan is to backdoor Victor so she should not choose him to play in the veto competition. Paulie said Bronte was on board with it.
12:00-1:00 PM: Paulie told James and Zakiyah that he will make Victor think that he is on board with his plan to pick off one of the girls. He planned to tell Victor that Bronte is the target. Paulie and Victor spoke. Paulie said he doesn’t care if Bronte goes home but he wanted to ask him about throwing Natalie on the block in the event that one of the nominees comes down. Victor said he is at Paulie’s mercy and he wants to find people to ride with so that he doesn’t have to keep jumping ship. Victor said he is willing to leave the nominations the same if he wins the veto because he is fine with Bronte leaving. The guys discussed that they trust Frank. Victor said that Frank and Paul are the only ones who he trusts. Paulie said he trusts Corey. Victor said that would be a perfect group since they would have one from each team. Victor asked Paulie if he trusts James. Paulie said he hasn’t talked game with James. He said he thinks that James is spreading himself around the house to stay in good with everyone. Paulie discussed bringing Paul and possibly a girl on board with Corey, Frank, Victor and himself. He threw Zakiyah’s name out there.
6:00-7:00 PM: Feeds returned following the Road Kill competition. Victor won the competition. Bronte went to Paulie to inform him that Paul is not on board with the plan to backdoor Victor. Paul told Victor that he should keep the information to himself. He said that the others are all working together and that the two of them and Bronte are sitting ducks. Victor didn’t buy it. He told Paul that he is with Corey, Frank and Paulie and he is working on bringing Paul in. Victor headed up to the HoH room and told Frank and Paulie that he hopes they aren’t playing him for a fool. Victor let them know that Paul is still unsure about them. Victor originally planned to nominate James. However, he started considering nominating Tiffany instead. He figured that it would be easier to get the votes to evict Tiffany as opposed to James. Word had quickly spread around the house that Victor won the competition. James heard that the plan is for him to go on the block. He said he doesn’t care. Frank said he could try to get Tiffany on the block. James was willing to go on the block. James mentioned that he will put a pizza in Victor’s bed so that he is nominated. Nicole began to panic because Tiffany told her that she is one of the people being considered as Victor’s nominee.
7:00-8:00 PM: Paulie told Paul that Victor said he hopes they are not playing him. Paulie also said Victor claims that Paul told him not to trust he or Frank. Paulie asked Paul if he is feeling a certain way about getting Victor backdoored. Paul pointed out that Victor has lied to him in this game and that he had to not make it so obvious that he knows about the plan. Paul said he got bamboozled because he was paired up with people like Jozea and Victor from the start. Paul told James and Paulie that they have a more stable environment to work in which is what he works best in. Paulie went to Bronte to find out more about what Paul had said to her. Bronte said that Paul wanted to find a way to keep Victor and wanted her to help him in doing so. Bronte said that Paul wanted to get Michelle out. Paulie told Bronte not to worry because he just spoke with Paul. He said that Paul will be leaving if he does anything to try to make Victor stay. Elsewhere, Nicole continued to worry about going on the block. Frank told her that he is sure that it will be James. Nicole asked what she should do. Frank told her to relax. James joined them. He asked what the plan is if Victor wins the veto. Frank said that ideally they can send Bronte home. Frank brought up that the Road Kill nominee doesn’t have to throw the veto competition but they would need to use the veto on one of the other nominees so that Victor can be nominated. Nicole mentioned that she cannot handle the stress of being on the block. She said that she will get something like PTSD if she sees her face pop up. Nicole told James that the returnees should try to keep each other off of the block. She suggested trying to get Tiffany nominated.
8:00-9:00 PM: Up in the HoH room, James told Paulie that he doesn’t want Nicole to go on the block because she is already taking heat from being HoH last week. Paulie said that she really doesn’t have that much heat. Paulie said the girls need to stay calm. James hoped that Tiffany would not be nominated either, seeing as she would have a meltdown. Paulie figured that they would be able to keep her calm. James pointed out that Tiffany is a very emotional person like her sister. Tiffany then spoke to Paulie. She asked who Paulie thinks will be nominated. Paulie said James but explained that it doesn’t matter. Tiffany then asked if the girls in their alliance trust her. Paulie said yes. Tiffany feels that they get upset if she talks to Bronte or Natalie. Paulie said that they do that when anyone talks to them. Downstairs, Victor told Frank that he decided to nominate Tiffany. He felt that it would be too obvious if he nominated James. He also figured that he could get the votes to evict Tiffany. Nicole spoke to Victor and made it clear that she is worried about being nominated. Victor told her to relax. He said that he won the competition and nominated Tiffany. Nicole said Tiffany is sketchy. Victor agreed. Despite Victor telling Nicole not to let anyone know what he said, Nicole told Corey that Victor nominated Tiffany. Corey said he had talked to Victor. Nicole thanked him because she thought that she would have went home. Corey disagreed. Nicole told him that it wouldn’t be dumb to vote a returnee out if they end up on the block. Da’Vonne found out from Frank that Tiffany would be nominated. Nicole told her that Tiffany is going to freak out. Da'Vonne told Nicole that she is a little bit excited about it.
9:00 10:00 PM: Frank headed upstairs to talk to Paulie. Zakiyah was also in the room. Frank informed them that Victor nominated Tiffany. Frank brought up that Tiffany had got Nicole nervous for no reason. Paulie said Tiffany has to calm down. Paulie said that he will stay close to Tiffany in order to keep her calm. He explained that Tiffany is a logical person and she will calm herself if you talk to her logically. Zakiyah worried that Tiffany would stomp off and blurt stuff out. She said that Tiffany already did that once before after her argument with Frank.
10:00-11:00 PM: Da’Vonne spoke to Frank in the storage room. She asked him if they should use this opportunity to get Tiffany out if Victor wins the veto and saves Paul. Frank said that they can get Bronte out. They agreed that it’s best to weaken that team. Da’Vonne did still feel that Tiffany needs to go soon even though she wants to stick to their eight. She said that Paulie can replace her as the eighth in the alliance. Frank agreed. Tiffany went upstairs to talk to Paulie. She asked him if Victor told him who he is nominating. Paulie said that Victor told Frank that he is nominating Tiffany. Tiffany asked multiple times if Paulie is being serious. He said yeah. Tiffany said Frank lied to her then because she asked him and he told her that he doesn’t know. Paulie explained that Frank likely did not want Tiffany to freak out. He asked her to please not freak out. Tiffany said that she is beginning to question if there is a plan to get her out now that Frank lied to her. Paulie assured Tiffany that the plan is for Victor to go. He promised that it will be Bronte or Paul if Victor does not go. Tiffany began crying and said that they would be stupid not to vote Victor out when she would save all of them. Zakiyah went downstairs and had Nicole, James and Da’Vonne head upstairs. It was the first that James had heard about the nomination. He thought that he was going on the block. They all reiterated to Tiffany that the plan is to get Victor out. Da’Vonne headed downstairs and told Frank that Tiffany now knows that she is being nominated and that Frank knew. Back upstairs, Tiffany told the others that she will be fine but she just wanted to know ahead of time.
11:00-12:00 AM: Tiffany headed down to the bedroom. She let Bridgette, Bronte and Natalie know that she is going to be nominated. The girls assured her that she will not be going home. Bronte said that they will get through this week together and will bond over it. Natalie said she wants to show America that girls can be just as badass as guys and that they can work together and win. Out in the kitchen, Zakiyah told Da’Vonne and James that Tiffany may try to win the veto competition which would not be good. Da’Vonne figured that even in the worst case scenario, they will get Bronte out of the house. Tiffany joined them. Da’Vonne asked if she knows that she has to throw ti. Tiffany said 100%. She told Da’Vonne that she will trust in the people that she is working with and she will not be paranoid. Back in the bedroom, Bridgette told Natalie that they need to plan out their moves like the guys do. She used the example of the move against Victor to prove what the guys do. She told Natalie that Frank used her emotions, making her feel vulnerable, sad and used by Victor. She felt that Frank did that to pull Natalie away from Victor and to build himself up at the same time. After Bridgette left, Bronte and Natalie spoke. Victor had informed Bronte about his competition win and his nomination. Bronte thought that Victor should have played down his skills until he got to jury. She said that the others will not stop until they get him out now. Tiffany entered the room and told the girls that she is getting really paranoid. She thinks that something is off since the people that normally comfort her are acting differently towards her. She wondered if the guys had all formed an alliance in order to get the girls out. Bronte explained that the guys know Victor will win the game if he stays. Bronte encouraged Tiffany to stay strong. Natalie told Tiffany to show the house that she is a badass bitch. She did not want the others to see Tiffany crying. Tiffany asked if the girls would throw the competition if in her position. They said yes.
12:00-1:00 AM: The Road Kill ceremony took place. Victor nominated Tiffany for eviction. Afterwards, Tiffany was crying in her bed. She asked Michelle if there is something going on that she doesn’t know about. Michelle assured her that she is safe. Tiffany said she is worried because the guys may want to get a girl out. Da’Vonne said that it would be Bronte that leaves if so. Paul spoke to Tiffany to make sure that she knows the plan for the veto competition. He explained that she needs to throw the competition if Victor is playing. Tiffany said that she has to throw it either way because Victor would get to choose the replacement nominee. Paul said that’s right. He told Tiffany that she will be fine. Frank asked Tiffany if she is good. Tiffany said yeah. She asked Frank if he didn’t tell her that she was going up because he worried that she would freak out in front of everyone. Frank said yeah because he knew that Victor was around the corner when she asked him. Tiffany asked if Victor gave a reason for nominating her. Frank said Victor was trying to hide that he won the competition so he didn’t want to make the obvious choice in James. Back in the bedroom, Natalie and Bronte discussed who they think is running the house. Natalie thinks that Corey, Frank, James and Paulie are in that group. Bronte said it would be hard to win against Frank and James. She said she would not be surprised if they ended up winning the game. Bronte said she would prefer that James wins. The girls discussed that they will need to start playing dirty once they make it to jury.
