Big Brother 18 Day 21
July 5, 2016
8:00-9:00 AM: Frank spoke to the cameras. He said it looks like they are going to backdoor Victor this week. He thinks that it would be a 10-0 vote. He said the bad thing is that Tiffany is after him but Da’Vonne told him because she has his back and he has her back. Frank said he is fine with Bronte and Tiffany going in either order over the next two weeks. After that, he said that he doesn’t care who goes home as long as it isn’t him.
9:00-10:00 AM: Frank told Paulie that he is not worried about Da’Vonne, Zakiyah, Michelle or Nicole flipping and going with the other side. Paulie pointed out that Michelle is smart, cunning and knows every season very well. He feared that she is capable of making a big move. Frank told Paulie that people like Michelle can’t get to the end because they will be too tough due to the mental competitions. They then discussed Tiffany. Frank said that she should never have brought his name up because he would have been fine with keeping her around for a while. He said that not only does she want him out but she wants him out before jury. Frank added that she shouldn’t have brought his name up until she was in power. As for Tiffany getting close with the girls on the other side, Paulie said Tiffany is being an opportunist like she accused Frank of being the week before. Frank suggested that they get Corey, Nicole and James to throw the HoH competition. He wanted both Bronte and Tiffany available to nominate. Frank said he will nominate Tiffany straight up in another week or two. Paulie said Tiffany would crumble like Jozea did on the block. Frank wanted her to be extra panicked so she performs poorly in the veto competition.
10:00-11:00 AM: Da’Vonne, Frank and Nicole spoke outside during an outdoor lockdown. Frank let Da’Vonne know that he took the information that she gave him and made it seem like Bridgette gave it to him by telling Paulie that Tiffany wants to get him our pre-jury. Frank said James and Nicole’s teams cannot win HoH. Frank said they can still target Bronte first because his priorities are not any more important than the others. He wanted Tiffany to be available as a second option though because he is worried about her. Frank said they will be fine as long as they remain in teams. Frank said the other side of the house is so clueless. He let Nicole know that they think she is closer to Paulie than to Corey. He said it’s good that they obviously don’t see the big group but there is one person who could mess that up. Da’Vonne said that Tiffany can go up with the Road Kill nomination. Frank said he will nominate her straight up if Bronte is gone. Da’Vonne said that she would too. Frank said Bridgette wants to be kept in the loop and she will give him information. Frank told them that Bridgette didn’t even know that they were trying to get Victor out and that’s why James threw the comp. Nicole wondered if she is playing dumb. Frank said that she isn’t. Frank mentioned nominating Bronte and Natalie next week with Tiffany going up as the Road Kill nominee. He then said they could always put Bridgette up there and then use Tiffany as the replacement nominee. Da’Vonne told Frank that another reason Michelle wants Bridgette gone is because their team is the only one with four people. Frank said she isn’t making any sense since they will have the teams for a couple more weeks. After Frank left, Da’Vonne told Nicole that Frank slipped up yesterday when he was drunk by saying that they are trying to bring back Chilltown. Nicole asked who he is trying to do that with. Da’Vonne said Corey. She said Frank wants to do for somebody what Boogie did for him. Da’Vonne said she is willing to throw the HoH so that Paul can go. Nicole didn’t understand why Frank is so against getting Paul out.
11:00-12:00 PM: Bronte told Bridgette that if she gets HoH next week she is thinking of nominating Corey and Nicole together. Bronte figured that Nicole would be the last girl that the other girls would vote out of the house. She said that she would even tell Nicole that she would use the veto on her in order to nominate another guy. She wants a guy to leave because she feels as though it would make the girls more comfortable with aligning since they would have such a big numerical advantage. Bridgette said there are still some girls that she doesn’t trust but Bronte will have to get HoH to pull it off. She asked Bronte if she plans to take HoH for sure. Bronte figured that she would since James and Natalie have told her that they don’t want it. Bridgette said Corey and Nicole seem to be tighter than they are letting on so she wasn’t sure if Nicole would be on board with the plan.
12:00-1:00 PM: Frank headed out to the hammock to talk to Da’Vonne. He said that he just had another DR about Tiffany. He said he wants Tiffany out next week. He asked Da’Vonne if she is down. Da’Vonne said that she is because she knows that Bronte is not coming after her. They discussed that they don’t have to worry about Michelle or Zakiyah. Zakiyah joined them. Frank asked her if she is fine with getting Tiffany out next week. Zakiyah confirmed that she is because she is not worried about Bronte. Frank called Tiffany the bigger mouthpiece of the two and said that she is a going to spread paranoia throughout the house.
1:00-2:00 PM: After Da’Vonne headed inside, Frank told Zakiyah that she is going to go far and that he wants her at the end with him. Frank told Zakiyah that Bridgette said Tiffany wants to get him out before jury. Frank said it seems personal now that Tiffany is saying that. Frank mentioned that he would love to take a shot at Tiffany this week but it is not a smart move. He preferred to target Victor first. Zakiyah headed inside to talk to Da’Vonne. She let her know that Frank wants one of them or Michelle to win HoH. They agreed that Franks wants them to have to do the dirty work. Nicole joined them. Da’Vonne let the girls know that Bridgette told Frank that the three of them, Michelle and Paulie are in an alliance together. They then continued speaking about Frank. Zakiyah said that she wants Frank to go. She pointed out that he thinks he is running the show. Da’Vonne said it would be great if they could get him out next week. Zakiyah wondered if people would vote Frank out. Nicole didn’t think so. Da’Vonne suggested that they could say that they are sending Tiffany home and then blindside Frank. Zakiyah had told Da’Vonne about Frank wanting to get near the end with her. Da’Vonne told Nicole that Frank said he wants to be at the end with Zakiyah, Paulie and herself. Da’Vonne said she loves Zakiyah but she knows that she will get all of the votes if she is sitting there at the end. Nicole said she thinks that Frank has a Final 4 with everyone. Da’Vonne said he probably made a Final 2 with Bridgette yesterday. Da’Vonne said Frank has to go. Nicole couldn’t tell who Frank is truly loyal to since he has told everyone that he will take them far. Nicole didn’t think that Corey would be on board with sending Frank home.
2:00-3:00 PM: Da’Vonne and Zakiyah discussed whose votes they would have to evict Frank. She said theirs, Nicole’s and Michelle’s would not be enough. Da’Vonne said they could evict Frank next week but none of them will be able to be HoH or else they wont have the votes. Da’Vonne threw out the idea of nominating Bridgette, Bronte and Frank. They thought that would guarantee that Natalie votes Frank out. Zakiyah said Frank would have to be the Road Kill nominee. Da’Vonne said Tiffany will have to win HoH. She soon changed her mind because she figured that they would need Tiffany’s vote. Da’Vonne said Corey can get HoH and then the Fatal Five can vote Frank out. They said it would be imperative to win Road Kill if they went that route. Da’Vonne said Frank is going next week. Da’Vonne told Zakiyah that they need to mend fences with Tiffany because she cannot go until after Frank is out because they need her vote. Da’Vonne said they can send Bronte home if Frank wins the veto. She figured that they can keep taking swings at Frank until he is gone. The girls worried about Michelle not wanting to vote Frank out. Da’Vonne wanted to find a backup vote so that they have six. She discussed talking to James to see where his head is at. Nicole headed into the HoH room to inform Corey that Frank is making Final 4 deals with everyone. Nicole said Frank just made one with Da’Vonne, Paulie and Zakiyah. Corey asked if Frank has told Nicole that he will take her to the end. Nicole said yes. Corey then revealed that Frank has said the same thing to him. Nicole said they need to get Frank out. She said he made a Final 2 with Bridgette yesterday as well. Nicole let Corey know that Frank has talked to her about getting him out even before the Final 8. Nicole said Frank wants Corey out before Paulie. She told Corey that he is next after Bronte, Paul and Tiffany. Frank then broke up the talk.
3:00-4:00 PM: Frank told Nicole that Da’Vonne kind of wants Tiffany out next too. He said all of their DR sessions have been about Tiffany recently. Frank told Corey and Nicole that it seems Tiffany thinks that everyone will still work with her if she gets him out. Frank said Tiffany is not that clever. Frank clarified that it was Da’Vonne, not Bridgette, who gave him the information about Tiffany coming after him. He said it’s a legit source and is not misinformation. Frank worried that Tiffany would spill to Paulie about the Eight Pack alliance if she finds out that they are after her. Frank told Corey that the two of them may have to beat her to it since Paulie thinks that they are three until the end. Corey, Frank and Nicole agreed that Paulie is not a threat to them. Corey said he would be fine with keeping Paulie until the Final 5. Zakiyah’s name was mentioned as the fifth. Nicole headed down to the have-not room. She told Da’Vonne and Zakiyah that Frank has got to go. She explained that Frank was getting aggressive. She said that Frank told her he wants Tiffany out next, not Bronte, so get over it. Da’Vonne asked if they can get James to vote Frank out. Nicole said yes. Nicole revealed that Frank plans to tell Paulie about the Eight Pack in order to cover his butt. The girls wondered if they should beat Frank to it by having Zakiyah tell him. Nicole didn’t want Paulie to go back to Frank with that information and cause Frank to come after them. They decided not to tell. Da’Vonne suggested nominating Bronte with Bridgette or Natalie and then putting James up with the Road Kill nominee. She figured that James could then win the PoV so that they could backdoor Frank. They agreed that Frank has to go next week. While the girls were talking, Frank told Paulie about the Eight Pack. He explained that it formed while he was not in the room. They said he likely would have been included had he been there. Corey was also present. Corey and Frank reassured Paulie that their trio is their core alliance. Paulie asked if the Eight Pack knows about the trio. They said no.
4:00-5:00 PM: Nicole told Corey that Frank is trying to cover his own butt by outing the Eight Pack to Paulie. Corey let Nicole know that Frank already told Paulie. He said that Paulie took it well. Corey told Nicole that Da’Vonne told Frank to be careful about James and Nicole cause she could see them having a Final 2. Nicole told Corey that Da’Vonne, not Tiffany, is the one who is talking about getting Frank out before jury. Nicole again said that Tiffany has not said she wants Frank out. Corey said he wants Da’Vonne gone then cause she seems to be the one making stuff up. Nicole said she doesn’t know who to trust more between Da’Vonne and Frank. Corey thought Frank but figured that they should keep digging for information. Corey said he trusts Nicole and Paulie the most out of anyone in the house right now. Corey wondered if their Final 4 with Frank is the real one. Nicole let Corey know that he is not even a part of the deal that she has with Frank. In the have-not room, Da’Vonne spoke to Tiffany about Frank needing to go. Da’Vonne said she has heard that Frank is coming after Tiffany. She would not tell Tiffany where she heard that. However, Tiffany said she doesn’t have to be convinced to put Frank up. Tiffany called Frank the biggest threat to all of their games. Da’Vonne asked how close Tiffany and Paulie are. Tiffany explained that they talk about the current week but don’t talk long term game. Da’Vonne reiterated that Tiffany cannot tell Paulie about the plan, especially since he seems to be tight with Frank. Tiffany swore on her life that she would not tell Paulie. She said it would ruin everything so there is no reason for her to. Da’Vonne then pulled Tiffany aside to talk further. Da’Vonne said she needs Tiffany to not play like Vanessa. Da’Vonne explained that she needs Tiffany to be cool because she has to be comfortable coming to her with information. Da’Vonne then revealed that Frank himself is the one who said he is coming after her. She admitted to be holding onto that information for a while because she is scared to tell Tiffany stuff. Da’Vonne said they have a Final 2 but she sees Tiffany with Paulie all the time and it freaks her out. Tiffany swore that she doesn’t have a Final 2 with Paulie. Da’Vonne assured Tiffany that she has been protecting her behind closed doors but has not come to her with info out of fear of how she would react. Tiffany said it now makes sense why everyone is being weird with her, because they knew Frank wants her out next but haven’t been telling her. Tiffany told Da’Vonne that telling her all of this is going to make her protect her so hard. Tiffany admitted that she felt Da’Vonne was acting distant with her and close with Zakiyah ever since they made their Final 2 deal. Da’Vonne said that Zakiyah was her link to Jozea and they have become friends since. Da’Vonne reiterated that she is loyal to the Fatal Five and to Tiffany above everything else. Da’Vonne felt that they should have a meeting with the Fatal Five later. She wanted Tiffany to express to the group that she is not her sister. Da’Vonne pointed out that they all have their moments of paranoia but Tiffany is attached to her sister.
5:00-6:00 PM: Michelle told Nicole that Frank said Da’Vonne told him that Tiffany is after him. Nicole said Da’Vonne made it up. She quickly backtracked and asked it more so in the form of a question. Nicole said she doesn’t know who to believe at this point. Nicole worried that Da’Vonne would throw her under the bus if she doesn’t go along with the plan to target Frank. Nicole told Michelle that she has to take HoH if her team wins. She said she would feel much more comfortable with Michelle as HoH as opposed to Frank. Michelle admitted that she isn’t sure that she would be able to send Tiffany home. Nicole said Frank is putting his needs ahead of everyone else’s. The Fatal Five had a meeting in the bedroom. Tiffany apologized for making them feel a certain way about her based on reactions to things. She said that Frank irks her to death. She also made it clear that she is not her sister. Tiffany said she has their backs and wants to work with the group. The alliance discussed the plan for next week. Michelle said she believes that next week is too soon to target Frank but she will go along with what they want to do. It was thrown out there that they could wait until the following week. They ultimately agreed to find out who wins HoH before making a decision on what to do. Up in the HoH room, Corey told Paulie that Da’Vonne made things up about Tiffany and is also trying to get James and Nicole out. Corey said Nicole asked him if Frank had come to him about an alliance and he said that they made a Twin Towers deal. They didn’t know who to believe. Paulie said the girls could be pulling something to make the guys turn on each other. Corey agreed but said he doesn’t know how much he trusts Frank at this point. Paulie said he trusts Corey 100%. They agreed that the news about Frank is shocking but they need to look into it further.
6:00-7:00 PM: Frank had a conversation with Da’Vonne. He let her know that he told Paulie about the Eight Pack. They discussed the ideal eviction order. Afterwards, Da’Vonne told Tiffany about Frank revealing their alliance. Tiffany wondered if more guys were in on it and if they had done it to turn it into a guys vs girls thing. Da’Vonne wasn’t sure if she should tell Zakiyah what Frank did because Paulie may be upset with Zakiyah for not having told her about it. Tiffany said everything always comes out so don’t play too hard. Da’Vonne did go ahead and tell Zakiyah that Frank and Corey told Paulie about the Eight Pack. Da’Vonne said Tiffany doesn’t have anything with Paulie and she is afraid that Frank and Paulie have something. They discussed that Frank is so selfish. Zakiyah said that Frank has to go no later than next week. Da’Vonne wondered if Frank may have planted the seed that he had told Paulie about the alliance even though he didn’t actually do it. Da’Vonne told Zakiyah to act normally around Paulie. Zakiyah figured that Paulie would let her know if he had found out about the alliance.
9:00-10:00 PM: Paulie and Zakiyah discussed the Eight Pack now that Frank told Paulie about it. Paulie said that learning of the alliance has made him observe things in a different way. He pointed out that Nicole changed the subject when he walked in the room earlier even though she is supposed to trust him. Paulie thinks that he is still protected by people even though he is not in the eight because of the personal relationships that he has built with the houseguests. Zakiyah said that she really really trusts Paulie. She hoped that it wasn’t a mistake. Paulie pointed out that everyone saw how loyal Cody was when he made a deal with Derrick on Day 2. He said that he doesn’t BS when tells someone that he has their back. Zakiyah said that the only three people she really talks game with are Paulie, Nicole and Da’Vonne. Zakiyah asked Paulie who he thinks is running the house. Paulie said he doesn’t think that anybody is. However, he said that it always blows up in your face if you try to get in everyone’s ear and cover all of your bases.
10:00-11:00 PM: Corey told Nicole that he spoke to Frank and brought others in on the conversation to see what Frank would say. Corey said that Frank said the same things in front of everyone. Nicole said Da’Vonne may be up to something and be the one who is starting all of this. Nicole told Corey that Da’Vonne wants Frank out. Nicole said she told Da’Vonne that the timing isn’t right cause they can’t miss when they take a swing. Corey said they have to get Bronte out and then he will have Paulie throw the competition so that Frank is available to be nominated. Nicole didn’t think that Paulie would be on board. Corey said he would be his life on it that he could get Paulie on board. Corey then said he could talk James into putting Frank up. Paulie joined them and Nicole headed inside. Paulie let Corey know that Zakiyah told him that Frank told her “don’t trust Paulie”. Corey told Paulie to keep acting the same around Frank. Paulie said he is shocked by Frank since he is smarter than that and knows the game better than that. Corey said he is tempted to confront Frank about it all. The talk was then broken up. In the have-not room, Zakiyah got Da’Vonne caught up on her conversation with Paulie. She said that Frank did tell Paulie about the Eight Pack and you could tell that Paulie was mad. Zakiyah let Da’Vonne know that she and Nicole need to do damage control with Paulie because he knows that they changed the subject when he walked in earlier. She suggested saying that they were talking about Tiffany.
11:00-12:00 AM: Frank made his rounds to inform a couple of people that Paulie now knows about the Eight Pack. He told Zakiyah and said that it’s a good thing. Zakiyah said he probably should have talked to everyone first so that they could do it as a group. Frank told Zakiyah not to worry because Paulie loves her. Frank then told James as well. He explained that he didn’t want Paulie to hear it from Tiffany first. Frank suggested nominating both Corey and Paulie once the teams are gone. Elsewhere, Tiffany spoke to Da’Vonne about nominating Frank if she wins HoH. Da’Vonne said that Tiffany would have to backdoor him. Tiffany said she could nominate Bridgette and Paul initially and tell them that they are both pawns. Zakiyah joined them and recapped her conversation with Frank. She said Frank told her that it could be the two of them, Corey, Nicole and Paulie. Zakiyah said Frank is doing this with everyone. Zakiyah quickly spoke to Nicole about what Frank told Paulie. A Fatal Five meeting then took place in the have-not room. Da’Vonne asked the group how they feel about Frank leaving next. Michelle said that she doesn’t care, Zakiyah said she is on board, Nicole said she would be okay with it and Tiffany said that she too is on board. The next decision was whether or not to make the move next week. Nicole feels that it may be too soon since Frank is on board with helping them get Bronte out next week. She fears taking a shot at Frank and missing. Da’Vonne explained that they need to make a decision so that Michelle knows whether or not she has to throw HoH. Frank then crashed the meeting before they could discuss the plan any further.
12:00-1:00 AM: James and Nicole met up in the storage room. Nicole asked if everything is okay. James said no. He explained that Corey wants to make a deal with Paulie, Nicole and Frank. Nicole said Frank just told Zakiyah that he wants a Final 5 with the four of them and Zakiyah. Nicole said that Corey has never mentioned that group to her. She said Frank wants James to go after Corey. James admitted that Frank had told him to nominate Corey and Paulie. They then discussed that Frank told Paulie about the Eight Pack. Nicole said she was not there when Frank decided to tell Paulie. Nicole said she now feels awkward around Paulie because she feels like a liar. Nicole told James that Frank did that to cover his own butt. Nicole assured James that she is not doing anything against him and that she is loyal to the four returnees. James said that he is too.
1:00-2:00 AM: Da’Vonne told James that Frank has promised Final 4 deals to her, Zakiyah, Nicole and Bridgette. Da’Vonne revealed that she wants Frank out next week. James said wow. Da’Vonne said Frank is rude and nasty, and the women are tired of it. Da’Vonne and James agreed that Frank is not the person they expected him to be. Da’Vonne said it sucks cause she wanted it to be the four returnees but Frank is playing too hard. They agreed that he made a selfish move by telling Paulie about the alliance without him. Da’Vonne listed off the five votes to evict Frank as James, Nicole, Zakiyah, Tiffany and herself. James asked if they would still have a group once Frank goes. Da’Vonne said it would be the two of them and Nicole. James said he was thinking all along that Frank had been playing too hard and making too many deals. James worried that sending Frank home is the type of move that can get you evicted the next week. James suggested going along with Frank’s plans until an endurance competition comes around. Instead of nominating Corey and Paulie, James said he could take Frank out. James mentioned letting Frank get Tiffany out. Da’Vonne questioned who would take Frank out then. James said they could do it the following week.
2:00-3:00 AM: Nicole joined Da’Vonne and James. James admitted to messing up by telling Frank that Corey said he doesn’t want to throw the HoH competition. Nicole said that’s really bad. James brought up that Bridgette is in Frank’s back pocket. Nicole said it’s a Derrick and Victoria type relationship. They discussed that they could take Bridgette out but decided if you are going to make Frank mad then you should just send him home. Nicole suggested that James should tell Corey that Frank wants him to take him out. Nicole said that Corey could then win HoH and take Frank out. James wasn’t sure if Corey would listen to him. Nicole said she could get Corey on board if she tried hard enough. James said he too could try but it would be a risk. After James left, Da’Vonne told Nicole to get Corey to fight for HoH this week. Da’Vonne said they now definitely have the numbers to get Frank out since James is on board. Da’Vonne didn’t mind that James may want to wait to make the move. She was happy that he is on board with it at all.
