Big Brother 18 Day 19
July 3, 2016
11:00-12:00 PM: Paulie is still planning to use the veto in order to backdoor Victor. James said Victor thinks that he is working with Frank and Paulie. Paulie said it’s due to his own naivety. They discussed that Bronte, Natalie and Paul at least understand the situation they are in as opposed to Victor who still thinks that he is the man. Paulie debated how to handle the situation with Victor. He wanted to say that it was solely his decision but he wondered if it would be best to let Victor know that it was more of a house decision so that he doesn’t try harassing people for votes. Paulie was concerned about how Victor would treat the girls. In the bathroom, Michelle and Nicole discussed that they expect a pre-jury member to return. Michelle said it would be crazy if that person was automatically given HoH. Nicole said that would mean she is gone if Jozea returns. The girls discussed that James was telling Natalie about the “shot callers” of the house. Michelle figured that Frank is one of the people that James was talking about. Nicole told Michelle that she is concerned about Frank and James wanting to keep Bridgette and Natalie around because they are extra votes for them. She said they have to be careful that they don’t get picked off before Bridgette and Natalie.
12:00-1:00 PM: James and Paulie discussed that Frank wants to get rid of Tiffany. James said he probably wants her gone after Bronte and Paul. Paulie said that Tiffany would be fine if she would keep her cool and not get paranoid. James said Frank is worried because she could blow up or she could go rogue if she wins an HoH. James said he sees a lot of similarities between Vanessa’s strategy and Tiffany’s strategy. Specifically, Paulie said that Tiffany is using Vanessa’s tactics of crying and questioning people. In the have-not room, Da’Vonne and Zakiyah were also discussing Tiffany. Da’Vonne told Zakiyah that she feels as though Tiffany needs to go soon. Da'Vonne brought up that she was already feeling a certain way about Tiffany and then she implied that something during her diary room session gave her confirmation about Tiffany. Zakiyah said that she may have to go as soon as next week. Da’Vonne said that Bronte would have been a great number five if she wasn’t such an asshole. Da’Vonne figured that Bronte has now clashed with too many people to bring her in. She said she loves what they have with the four, in reference to the Fatal Five without Tiffany. Zakiyah said she cannot trust Tiffany and she knows that Paulie has an attachment to her because they have something going on. Da’Vonne said that Tiffany told her that she likes Paulie. Da’Vonne wondered if it had slipped out. Da’Vonne said that Paulie and Tiffany must feel that they were put in the house to work together because they are siblings. Da’Vonne and Zakiyah discussed that they have to stay close to each other. Zakiyah said they have an understanding that she will not have with anyone else. Da’Vonne agreed. They circled back to talking about Tiffany. Da’Vonne said that she has got to go before jury.
1:00-2:00 PM: Frank approached Da’Vonne to tell her that he would like to get Tiffany out after Bronte leaves. Da’Vonne said she is on board with that. Frank said he doesn’t like that Paulie thinks he can trust Tiffany. Frank proposed targeting Tiffany next week if Bronte wins a competition. The two agreed that Tiffany would be coming after them if she were to win HoH. After Bronte and Tiffany are gone, Frank said they will have Bridgette, Natalie and Paul as options to take out but they should get rid of Corey or Paulie if they get the chance. Da’Vonne agreed. The backyard opened and the houseguests spent a good part of the afternoon enjoying the sun, pool and working out.
4:00-5:00 PM: Da’Vonne, James, Michelle and Nicole spoke in the kitchen. Da’Vonne said that her only concern with Paulie is Tiffany. Da’Vonne said that she is willing to bet that Paulie likes Tiffany more than she likes Zakiyah. She pointed out that Paulie always runs straight to Tiffany. Da’Vonne said Tiffany is very intelligent. She figured that Tiffany can be manipulated if you do it in a very delicate way. Michelle said Tiffany tries to figure out how smart she is by questioning her about how well she did on various tests. James said Vanessa would do the same thing with him. He added that Tiffany claims to be able to read people’s vibes like Vanessa would too. Da’Vonne said one thing is for sure, Tiffany is targeting Frank. She claimed that Tiffany has shown her hand on multiple occasions. James figured that Tiffany would nominate Frank. Da’Vonne said if Frank doesn’t put her up first. Da’Vonne told them that she would be petrified if Tiffany were to win HoH. Michelle said she would like to get rid of Bridgette because they will be the only team with four players. She also said that Frank and Bridgette are getting really close. Da’Vonne agreed and said that they don’t need any extra attention on Frank, Michelle or Paulie for being on a team of four. Michelle and Nicole headed out to the hammock to continue chatting. Michelle said Bronte would probably go in two weeks if Bridgette goes next week. Michelle worried about Bridgette and Frank getting too far together. Nicole said Bridgette cannot nominate Michelle but Bronte could nominate both of them if she wins. Nicole thought that Bronte would be the one who is more likely to make a big move. She told Michelle that Bronte cannot be manipulated. Michelle said they can go after Bronte first then. Nicole said Frank would be pissed if they went after Bridgette next week and then he may not be on their side any longer. Michelle said it scares her that Frank wants Bridgette around so badly when all of those people were supposed to be disposable. Not long after, Frank and Nicole spoke in the bedroom. Frank asked Nicole who she wants to go to the Final 4 with. Nicole said the vets. Frank told her that the vets would not take them to the Final 2. He suggested that Michelle and Zakiyah would be better options. He figured that Michelle would take them to the Final 3 while they would definitely be able to beat Zakiyah. Nicole asked Frank if he would take her to the end. Frank said that he would take Nicole. He reminded her that they already made that deal.
5:00-6:00 PM: Nicole told Da’Vonne that she is fine with targeting Tiffany next week like Frank wants. Da’Vonne said that Tiffany doesn’t have to go before Bronte when Bronte is after Nicole. Da’Vonne said they can control Tiffany. Nicole told Da’Vonne that she let Michelle know the same thing about Bridgette since she would prefer to keep Bridgette longer than Bronte. Da’Vonne mentioned that Zakiyah would be a good #3. She threw Michelle’s name out there as well. Nicole said Zakiyah might be better since Michelle may have a better shot at winning. Da’Vonne said Nicole and Zakiyah are the two that she is closest to in the house. Nicole said she loves Zakiyah. Nicole asked if Zakiyah would be on board with working as a three. Da’Vonne said yeah and told Nicole that Zakiyah has brought it up to her several times. Nicole explained that she doesn’t talk to her favorites a lot because she doesn’t want to be on the block with them so that’s why she tries to stay away from Da’Vonne and Zakiyah. Da’Vonne brought up the possibility of someone returning pre-jury. She suggested that they could send Frank home before jury so that he could beat the others. Da’Vonne said that she and Nicole could make it so that they are the only two who vote to keep Frank so that he can come back mad at everyone else but them. Nicole wasn’t sure how they could even make that happen. Da’Vonne said it would be hard since Frank is playing a hell of a social game. She pointed out that James is working on winning America’s Favorite.
6:00-7:00 PM: Tiffany told Corey that she has something that she has been meaning to tell him. She apologized that it has taken so long for her to tell him. She then revealed that her sister Vanessa was on last season. Corey said that’s cool. Tiffany explained that she didn’t want people to target her over it right away. Corey said he would never do that. Tiffany said her sister finished in third place and should have won the whole thing. Corey said it’s crazy that there are six people this season who have either been on the show or know someone who has been on it. Corey said he watched a bit of the game while Clay was there because he knows Clay. After hearing that Vanessa is a professional poker player, Corey said that he wants to meet Vanessa. Tiffany told Corey that Bronte, Natalie, Victor and the people on that side are the only ones who don’t know about it. Tiffany let Corey know that she didn’t even know that she was going to be on the show until seven days before sequester because she did not apply. Tiffany said she watched Vanessa 24/7 last season and learned a lot from her.
7:00-8:00 PM: Corey and Nicole chatted outside. Corey brought up that Frank thought it would be best for them to throw HoH so that Tiffany can go on the block. Nicole pointed out that in doing so they would be leaving themselves vulnerable to being nominated. Nicole didn’t want Corey to let Frank know that she was questioning the idea at all. Corey said that Frank doesn’t like Tiffany one bit and neither does he. Nicole told Corey that he is playing emotionally. She said it’s not a strategic move since Tiffany is not a threat to them when she is unable to nominate them. Corey disagreed about it being emotional. He explained that Tiffany weighs them down and prevents them from winning HoH. Corey said they are going to want to keep Natalie around for a bit but get rid of Bridgette and Bronte soon. Frank joined them. He said he would like to see Michelle take HoH next week because she would go after Bronte. Frank told Corey and Nicole that they need to prevent Tiffany from winning HoH. Tiffany said that she would never let her take it. Frank figured that he would be in danger if Tiffany were to win HoH a couple of weeks from now.
8:00-9:00 PM: Da’Vonne, Michelle and Zakiyah spoke in the have-not room. Da’Vonne said Bronte needs to go because she is gunning for Nicole hard. Da’Vonne thinks that Tiffany is after her but she said Tiffany does not scare her. That being said, Da’Vonne said that she is ready to take Tiffany out whenever the others are. Da’Vonne, Michelle and Zakiyah discussed that they can only trust each other and Nicole. Da’Vonne brought up that she wants Frank gone pre-jury. Michelle didn’t want to do that because she doesn’t want to ruin the eight. Da’Vonne asked when they should send Frank out then. Michelle said first of the eight. They agreed that during a double eviction would be ideal. Da’Vonne figured that James would have to go right after Frank leaves. Da’Vonne thought that it was imperative that they get guys out because Frank has all of them on his side. Michelle grouped Bridgette in with the guys too because she thinks that Bridgette will not leave Frank’s side.
9:00-10:00 PM: Da’Vonne pointed out that Frank is running the house. Zakiyah figured that he is bragging about it in his diary room sessions. Da’Vonne worried that Cory, Frank, James and Paulie would team up once they pick off the people on the other side. They discussed whether or not they could bring in the other girls. Da’Vonne thought that it would be best to send Bridgette, Bronte and Paul home before approaching Natalie about working together. Nicole joined them and said that Frank is saying that nobody can nominate Paul next week because he gets the week off. Da’Vonne said Frank is trying to save Paul because there is a guys thing going on. They ended up concluding that Frank, Paul and Paulie are the guys who are aligned. Zakiyah said that Paulie has gotten different with her ever since Frank has been spending the night in the HoH room. The girls discussed Tiffany. Da’Vonne mentioned that she voted the way that they needed her to. Nicole figured that they Tiffany would be good as long as they make her feel safe and secure. Nicole asked Da’Vonne why she thinks that Tiffany is gunning for her when she is in their alliance. Da’Vonne admitted that she got a piece of information in the diary room that she was not supposed to get. She said that confirmed that she was right to feel the way that she does about Tiffany. Michelle said that Tiffany could go after Frank if they keep her in the game. Da’Vonne said it would prevent them from having to do it. Nicole said she was thinking the same thing. Tiffany then woke up and spoke to Da’Vonne and Zakiyah. Tiffany said it would be cool if Paul left next since there would still be eight girls in the house. Frank’s name came up. Tiffany called him a scary player. Da’Vonne asked if Tiffany would make the move against Frank before jury or after jury. Tiffany said before jury so that Frank couldn’t poison the jury against her. They discussed that the move would only work if all of the girls are on board with it. Tiffany assured Da’Vonne and Zakiyah that Bridgette, Bronte and Natalie want to get the guys out. She said that she is 200% sure of it. Tiffany said she would backdoor Frank or else make the move against James if she cannot get Frank out. Da’Vonne said one thing is for sure, that Tiffany has a reason to nominate Frank. They went through nomination scenarios and decided that another guy would have to go on the block with Frank. Paul’s name was mentioned. Tiffany asked Da’Vonne and Zakiyah not to mention any of this to anyone because she is nervous talking about it while on the block.
10:00-11:00 PM: Paul and Victor chatted in the backyard. Victor figures that they will be able to rally the votes against Tiffany. However, he said that he is hoping for the best and for all he knows, he may be going up on the block tomorrow. Paul said he thinks that Paulie will use the veto on Bronte so that he can put Victor up and ensure that one of them will go home. Victor spoke to Nicole after, saying that he hopes he wont get backdoored. Nicole asked why he is worrying about that. Victor said you always have to worry. Nicole told him to calm down because he will be fine.
11:00-12:00 AM: After coming out of the diary room, Da’Vonne told Michelle and Nicole that she got in trouble. She told them that the diary room in no way impacted anything or hinted anything to her about Tiffany. She then found Zakiyah and told her the same thing, saying that the diary room did not impact anything that has to do with strategy. Da’Vonne later spoke to Michelle about her theory that Tiffany may be working with the guys and that is why she did not want to throw the veto competition. She explained that Tiffany using the veto on herself would have prevented Victor from going on the block. Both Da’Vonne and Michelle had earlier discussed that Frank and Tiffany may be working together secretly since nobody would suspect it after they had a falling out.
12:00-1:00 AM: Da’Vonne told Michelle that something makes her feel like the guys will try to push out Tiffany in order to bring in Paulie. Michelle said that’s fine with her. Da’Vonne said she is only good with it if Paulie leaves right after Tiffany. Da’Vonne mentioned that Frank listed of Bridgette, Bronte and Tiffany as the people who need to go next. She questioned why it had to be all girls. Da’Vonne said they will know if Tiffany is with the guys if nobody is mentioning that she needs to go in another week or two. Michelle said that she knows Da’Vonne wants to target Frank but taking Frank out right now would piss everyone off. Da’Vonne brought up that everyone wants Victor out but he is not gunning for them. She added that he will definitely not be after them once he gets put on the block and realizes that Frank, Paul and Paulie all lied to him. Michelle agreed. They were then interrupted.
2:00-3:00 AM: Da’Vonne told Zakiyah that Nicole talked to her today about a Final 3 with the two of them. Da’Vonne said she told Nicole that she wants Michelle as the fourth because she doesn’t trust anybody else. Zakiyah mentioned nominating Tiffany if she wins HoH and the veto is used. Da’Vonne said she would have to do damage control with Nicole because she wants Bronte out. Da’Vonne said her thing with getting Tiffany out is that they are down a girl if the boys are together. Zakiyah said she doesn’t trust her. They discussed that Tiffany may be working with the boys anyway. Da’Vonne said they would know for sure that the boys are working with Tiffany if they voted to keep her. Da’Vonne mentioned that Zakiyah could nominate Bridgette and Bronte then if she wins Road Kill she can nominate Frank. Once Frank took himself down, Zakiyah said that Tiffany could go on the block. They also discussed nominating two guys and saying that they are going to backdoor Bronte. Da’Vonne said she wants a boy out but Nicole was right that they have to dance to their tune for now. Da'Vonne said Bronte has got to go and then Paul has got to go. They discussed that Frank will cut you as soon as he figures that you have caught on to him. Da’Vonne said that’s why she is playing dumb. Zakiyah figured that it was the reason that Frank is gunning for Tiffany. Da’Vonne said she doesn’t believe that Corey isn’t a part of everything like Nicole is trying to say. Da’Vonne thinks that the boys group is Corey, Paulie and Frank. Zakiyah thinks that Frank said something to Paulie to push him further away from her.
3:00-4:00 AM: Zakiyah told Da’Vonne that Frank has gotten to everybody’s ear at some point. She mentioned Bronte saying that Frank told her to be more sociable. Zakiyah said she will continue to let Frank think that she is stupid. Da’Vonne said one thing is for sure, that Michelle and Nicole are loyal like they are. Zakiyah said she is not even going to say the five anymore because it’s the Fatal Four. Zakiyah said Tiffany will play hard like her sister and be a by any means necessary type of player. Da’Vonne didn’t understand why nobody else in the house realizes how close Paulie and Tiffany are. After Zakiyah left the room, Da’Vonne said she needs to win this game and needs to figure out how to beat Frank. She said her biggest competition and biggest obstacle in the house is Frank. Da’Vonne said she needs to figure out how to find out how to get him out of the house. She wondered if she should trust the girls to vote him out of the house. Da’Vonne said it is way too early to make that move. Da’Vonne didn’t understand why Michelle has been saying that she can’t send Frank home before jury. Da’Vonne listed off the eviction order. After Victor, she mentioned Bronte, Paul and either Frank or Tiffany. Da’Vonne said eventually they are going to start realizing that the newbies are getting take out left and right. She said that she needs to talk to Frank to see if he is still on board with everything because he is pulling people in left and right. She also mentioned that she could do the same as Frank, working on everyone so that they may vote for her in jury.
