Big Brother 18 Day 22 - The plan remains to target Frank next week
July 6, 2016
11:00-12:00 PM: While everyone else was asleep, Corey and Paulie chatted in the HoH room. Paulie let Corey know that Frank told Da’Vonne, Michelle and Zakiyah about the Eight Pack. Paulie said Zakiyah told him everything about Frank aggressively going to her to ask about working in an alliance with either Corey and Paulie or Da’Vonne and Paulie. Corey said Nicole told him that Frank is trying to start Final 4s with everyone. Paulie said Zakiyah wants Frank out soon but he told her that it’s not the right thing to do. Paulie explained that Bridgette, Bronte and Natalie need to go because they are votes for Frank. Paulie told Corey that he wants to find out if the girls are trying to put a wedge between the guys. Paulie wants to find out if Nicole herself was asked by Frank to join an alliance. Paulie thought it was possible that the girls are worried about Corey, Frank and himself because Frank may have tipped them off by accident. Corey thought that Frank may be trying to play it so that one of them can make it through but not both of them because he knows that he cannot beat them both. Corey said Frank is definitely looking shady lately. Paulie said it would be in their best interest to keep the girls focused on targeting the other girls. Corey didn’t think that they needed to worry about the girl thing too much because the girls want each other out over the two of them. Paulie said it shocks him that Frank would rope them in and then go elsewhere this early on in the game. Corey figured that they should keep the attention on Paul, Bronte, Frank, Natalie and Bridgette for now. Paulie and Corey discussed working as a five with Da’Vonne, Nicole and Zakiyah. Paulie told Corey that he would take him to the Final 2 if they made it that far. Paulie told Corey that it’s ride or die together. Corey said no doubt. They agreed that they are sitting pretty good right now. Corey asked what the plan is for the HoH competition. Paulie said that Frank will push for his team to win it but he would be more comfortable having Corey, Da’Vonne or Zakiyah winning HoH.
12:00-1:00 PM: Corey said that Frank might need to go. He said he would hate it if Frank got one of them out before they got him out. Corey said they may need to get Frank out next week. Paulie said that next week may be best. Corey said that they can get Michelle to throw the competition. Paulie told Corey that Da’Vonne and Zakiyah would be on board with getting Frank out if they want to make that move. Corey said that Nicole wants Frank out next week and so does Michelle. Paulie pointed out that Frank is no longer credible even if he tries to expose them for making that move. They listed off the five sure votes to evict Frank as the two of them, Da’Vonne, Nicole and Zakiyah. Paulie wasn’t sure if Frank would come after the two of them anytime soon. Corey said that’s not what Michelle and Nicole are saying. Corey said Frank wants to win the Road Kill competition so badly so that he can nominate one of them anonymously. Paulie said it would be risky to have four guys going up against eight girls but it may need to be done if Frank is gunning for them.
1:00-2:00 PM: Zakiyah spoke to Da’Vonne about a discussion that she had with Paulie last night. Zakiyah said Frank has been talking about getting Paulie out but she didn’t say anything to him yet. Da’Vonne and Zakiyah discussed that Paulie is interested in a five person group with Corey, Da’Vonne, Nicole and herself. Da’Vonne asked what is better for their end game, working in that five or in a four with Michelle and Nicole. Zakiyah said that she definitely wants Michelle around but Paulie feels that Michelle is lying to him about stuff. Zakiyah said she trusts whatever Da’Vonne wants to do. Zakiyah explained that Paulie wants to target the girls who Frank has as votes before going after Frank himself. Zakiyah made it clear that Paulie sees what Frank is up to. Da’Vonne again asked which side Zakiyah wants to choose. Zakiyah suggested the group of five. Zakiyah said that Michelle would have to be the last that they get rid of. Da’Vonne said okay.
2:00-3:00 PM: Outside the HoH room, Corey and Nicole chatted. Corey let Nicole know that he told Paulie they should think about taking Frank out next week. Nicole said Paulie told Zakiyah that he doesn’t want Frank out for three weeks. Nicole brought up the five person alliance that Paulie wants to make. She told Corey that Da’Vonne is pissed about it because she thinks that it will be two, two and then her. Nicole said she does not trust Da’Vonne at all but she doesn’t want Paulie or Zakiyah to know that. Nicole said she has to let James know that Da’Vonne is talking about sending them home because Da’Vonne is getting to James now too. Nicole figured that Da’Vonne wants her out and would nominate her if she wins Road Kill. Nicole said she wouldn’t be surprised if Da’Vonne told Frank that she wants him out when it’s actually Da’Vonne’s idea. Corey said that he should let Tiffany win HoH. Nicole told Corey that he is the only person she trusts in the house at all. Nicole thinks that Da’Vonne is upset that because she trusts Corey and Zakiyah trusts Paulie. Nicole also thinks that Da’Vonne and Zakiyah have a Final 2. Nicole told Corey that she will nominate Da’Vonne if she wins Road Kill next week. She said that either Da’Vonne or Frank need to go.
In the have-not room, Da’Vonne told James that Zakiyah came to her and said Paulie told her that he wants a Final 5 with him, her, Zakiyah, Corey and Nicole. Da’Vonne said that Zakiyah said it is a good idea. Da’Vonne told James that Nicole then said it’s good. Da’Vonne pointed out that James is not involved and it consists of her plus two showmances so she knows that they will cut her. James said they knew this was going to happen since an eight person alliance cannot last. James said that their four is gone and it’s everybody for themselves now. James said he is now getting excluded from everything. Da’Vonne was crying and said it’s not fair. She said that she doesn’t understand what happened since the four said they were going to stay strong. Da’Vonne and James assured each other that they will have each other’s backs. Da’Vonne said she will keep James in the loop. Da’Vonne was frustrated that Nicole has a showmance and Frank is doing what he is doing. Da’Vonne said it’s now just her and James. Da’Vonne believes that Paulie told Zakiyah that he wants a four person alliance and that Zakiyah is just trying to make her believe that it’s really a five. Da’Vonne said they are trying to get Frank out. James thought that they could possibly use it to their advantage by letting Frank know and flipping things to take out the newly formed alliance. James said they have to start drama in the house. He said that he and Meg were quiet last season and that’s why they kept getting screwed over. Da’Vonne said she thinks that they need to get rid of Frank and then get rid of Corey so that they can get Nicole back. James wondered if they should tell Frank what’s going on. Da’Vonne said maybe after the HoH competition.
3:00-4:00 PM: Nicole told James she is kind of hurt now that she heard people who she trusted have been saying crap about them. Nicole said she trusts James and is not worried about him at all. James asked if they should not be trusting certain people. Nicole said that she does not know who to trust. James said they can trust Da’Vonne. Nicole said that’s obvious. James said he thought it would have been badass if the vets could stick together, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. James said he hopes that the vets don’t pay for it in the end by going home losers because they did not stick together. Nicole let James know that Frank talked to Paulie and said that he would nominate the two of them. James didn’t understand why. Nicole said that he might have been trying to see how people reacted and maybe he didn’t mean it. James asked if Paulie trusts Frank. Nicole said she doesn’t think so. James suggested trying to get Frank out then. Nicole asked if James is going to take HoH this week if his team wins it. James said that he guesses he will. He told Nicole that he will not be throwing it.
5:00-6:00 PM: Michelle told Paulie and Tiffany that she wants Bridgette out because she is being a spy for Frank. They then discussed Frank. Tiffany mentioned that someone is going nuts in the house. Paulie said he has figured out who it is. Michelle added that they are making deals left and right. They then confirmed that they were all talking about Frank. Tiffany said that they should all get in a room to talk about the things that Frank has said. She pointed out that it was done last season and that’s how Audrey’s game got blown up. Paulie briefly spoke to Nicole. He informed her that he would like to get Bridgette and Natalie out before they go after Frank. Paulie said those are two votes for Frank. Nicole asked what will happen if Frank tries to cut a deal with Corey and Paulie in the meantime. Paulie said that they don’t do what Frank he does. He also said that Frank has already tried that. Corey, Paulie and Tiffany then discussed Frank in the HoH room. Tiffany said Frank is telling people that he has a Final 3 with Corey and Paulie. Paulie said that Frank told other people that he wants them out. Tiffany said Frank doesn’t realize that people have formed relationships outside of the ones with him, which has led to them comparing notes. Corey said there has been so much talk about Frank but are they going to do anything about it. Tiffany said she would backdoor Frank if she wins HoH. Paulie still preferred to wait until a couple of the girls were gone. Corey and Tiffany listed off Michelle, Nicole and Zakiyah as others who want Frank out right now. Tiffany said James is upset with Frank too. Corey said they have to get Frank out next week if they are going to talk about it, seeing as it will eventually get back to Frank.
6:00-7:00 PM: After Tiffany left, Paulie told Corey that he didn’t realize how many people want Frank out. Paulie said he was down to go to the Final 3 with Corey and Frank. Corey said Frank has two of the best players on his side but he is going to throw it all away. Paulie corrected Corey by saying that Frank had them on his side. Nicole joined them. They discussed working together with Zakiyah. When Da’Vonne’s name was brought up, Nicole said that she doesn’t know if Da’Vonne wants to work with them. Corey said it would be stupid of her not to want to. Nicole asked Paulie how he feels about getting Frank out soon. Paulie initially said that it’s too soon but he then said it may be best to strike now because he is not competing for HoH this week. Corey came up with a plan to get James, Michelle and Zakiyah to throw HoH tomorrow. He said that his team could then win and let Tiffany take HoH so that she can backdoor Frank. Nicole said that they cannot miss if they take a shot at Frank. Paulie said there is no way to miss unless he is on the block initially. Corey pointed out that Frank would know what’s going on as soon as Tiffany becomes HoH. The plan was not discussed any further. Elsewhere, James told Frank that he has a gut feeling that there are groups forming within the Eight Pack. James said the Eight Pack is now pretty much blown up since everybody knows about it. Frank said he tries not to worry about it. He told James that he doesn’t know who would be straying from the Eight Pack. Frank told James that they need to get Corey and Paulie out as soon as they get the chance even though he doesn’t think that they will come after the group until they are down to 8, 9 or 10. Overall, Frank felt good about the group. James said he is just trying to watch their backs. He told Frank he feels like someone is going to go rogue. Later, Michelle told Frank that her greatest fear is people in the Eight Pack making deals with people outside of the Eight Pack. Frank said that he doesn’t see any of that happening. Michelle mentioned people talking with the girls on the other side. Frank questioned who would even make a deal with Bronte and Natalie. Michelle said Frank has been talking to them a lot. She asked if he has promised anything to those girls. Frank said no and questioned who thinks that. Michelle said it’s just her.
8:00-9:00 PM: James told Da’Vonne that he gave Nicole a chance to tell him about the new alliance but she didn’t. Da’Vonne said that they may need Frank. James thought that it might be a good idea to tell Frank something. He figured that telling Frank about the group of five would cause chaos. Da’Vonne again mentioned that they can get Nicole back by taking Corey out. James said that Corey may need to go this week. While Da’Vonne said that Nicole would be mad about it, James said that he doesn’t care. In the have-not room. Tiffany let Da’Vonne know that Paulie wants to get Bridgette or Natalie out next because he wants to eliminate the people who are attached to Frank before targeting Frank. Da’Vonne said that’s fine since it’s neither of their names being thrown out there. Tiffany asked why Corey and Paulie think that Frank is gunning after them when Frank made deals with them. She told Da’Vonne that Zakiyah told them that. Da’Vonne said that’s the missing piece of the puzzle. She explained that Frank told James in confidence to nominate Corey and Paulie if he wins a wall comp. Da’Vonne figured that Zakiyah ran straight to Paulie with that information. Da’Vonne concluded that Zakiyah is running to Paulie with everything. She said that she will have to watch what she says around Zakiyah moving forward. Tiffany told Da’Vonne that she thinks Zakiyah is still trustworthy since it’s only Paulie who she is telling stuff to. Da’Vonne explained why she doesn’t trust Zakiyah. She let Tiffany know that Paulie said he wants a group with Corey, Nicole, Zakiyah and herself. Da’Vonne said she thinks that she wasn’t actually involved in that group but they are telling her that she is. Either way, Da’Vonne pointed out that being aligned with two showmances does not benefit her. Da’Vonne went on to tell Tiffany that she asked Zakiyah which group she wants to roll with between the Fatal Five and the group that Paulie proposed. Da’Vonne said Zakiyah chose the new group over the Fatal Five.
9:00-10:00 PM: Tiffany asked Da’Vonne what their game plan should be now that the Fatal Five is done. Da’Vonne said she isn’t sure. She told Tiffany that she trusts Michelle. She let Tiffany know that James’ name isn’t coming up in any of the alliances so he is another outcast. Tiffany asked if Da’Vonne plans to tell Michelle what she told her. Da’Vonne said that she can’t yet because it has to be the right time since Michelle’s feelings will be hurt. Da’Vonne said that Tiffany, James and Michelle are the only ones who tell her something and have it stick. Tiffany said she would be wary of James because he talks too much when he shouldn’t. Da’Vonne didn’t think that it would be an issue now that James has opened his eyes and seen what is going on in the house. Tiffany told Da’Vonne that they could win HoH and nominate the showmances. Tiffany said she can nominate Paulie and Zakiyah and Da’Vonne can nominate Corey and Nicole. Da’Vonne said that’s ballsy. She told Tiffany that she would rather do it through the Road Kill by nominating Corey next to someone and then using the Road Kill to nominate Nicole. Da’Vonne headed up to the HoH room to talk to Paulie. They quickly discussed the group of five that includes the two of them, Corey, Nicole and Zakiyah. Da’Vonne then asked Paulie how he feels about Frank. Paulie said that Frank is all over the place and is talking to a lot of people. Paulie admitted that he is now wondering if they have to strike at Frank before he strikes at them. Da’Vonne said they have the votes to get Frank out and she wants to get him out. They agreed that it would have to be done via the backdoor.
11:00-12:00 AM: Nicole asked Michelle if she would be willing to throw HoH. Michelle said yeah. Nicole told her that they will have to talk about that. Corey and Nicole spoke. Corey said that Frank is very convincing about them. Nicole said what Frank is saying is not true. Michelle joined them. Corey asked for her thoughts on tomorrow’s HoH. Michelle said that Corey’s team should not throw it. Corey said they have to decide if they want to send Frank home next week. Corey told Michelle and Nicole that Frank will not let either of them get far in the game because he is afraid of them being strong in mental competitions. Michelle told Corey that Frank has said he wants Corey, James and Paulie out. Corey said that they need to get Frank out. Corey told Michelle to throw the HoH competition. Corey admitted that he would prefer to have Zakiyah make the move to backdoor Frank but he said he would do it if he has to. Corey said he doesn’t want Da’Vonne to have HoH because she has been up to some shady stuff too. Corey planned to backdoor Frank, nominating Bronte and Paul originally. They discussed that Tiffany would be the perfect person to make the move but Frank would know what is going on if they were to give HoH to her. Corey informed Paulie that he confirmed with Michelle that they will be out if they don't get Frank out next week. Paulie wondered if the girls were trying to get the guys to turn on each other. Corey said that he trusts them 100% when it comes to the information about Frank. Tiffany then broke up the conversation.
12:00-1:00 AM: Da’Vonne and Nicole discussed the newly formed five person alliance. Da’Vonne expressed her concern about being in a group with two pairs. She said that Nicole is the one who she wants to get to the end with. Nicole said she figured that Da’Vonne would look at the group as two twos and a one but it’s not that way. Nicole clarified that she would take Da’Vonne over Corey, Paulie and Zakiyah. Nicole said she doesn’t want to be stuck sitting next to a newbie at the end because they could easily point out that the returnees had a second shot at the game. She likened it to Ian winning over Dan when Dan was said to be the best player ever. Da’Vonne brought up that somebody, likely Zakiyah, told Paulie that Frank was trying to get Corey and Paulie on the block. Nicole said that Corey knew that too. She said she thinks that it came from Michelle. As for next week, they discussed that everyone appears to be on board with getting Frank out next. Da’Vonne said she is willing to throw Frank on the block if she wins HoH. However, Da’Vonne said that she would feel more comfortable with Tiffany being HoH. Da’Vonne and Nicole agreed that Tiffany is not an immediate threat to either of them and that getting Bridgette and Bronte out is more important.
1:00-2:00 AM: Corey, James and Nicole discussed that Frank has stuff going on with everyone. Corey said that he doesn’t want to throw the HoH competition. They worried that Frank would try to flip the vote if one of them ended up on the block. Corey said he likes Frank and if he stuck to the plan they would be golden. James feels that Frank is playing his own game right now and wants everyone else to help him. Corey said that’s stupid. James pointed out that Frank never consults the group before he does something, such as blowing up the Eight Pack by telling Paulie. Corey said that he almost wants to confront Frank about things but he thinks that it is a terrible idea. Nicole agreed that it is a terrible idea. James thought that Frank would then start pushing an agenda to get Corey out.
3:00-4:00 AM: Nicole told Da’Vonne that she is not throwing the competition tomorrow. Da’Vonne said they all have to try to win because they are doing this for real now and going after Frank. Nicole said she is pissed and done with regards to Frank. Da’Vonne said she will tell Frank how she feels when he tries to campaign to her. Nicole said she wants to be herself again because she has been walking on egg shells. Da’Vonne said it’s because they are playing somebody else’s game. They discussed that Frank is playing selfishly by expecting them all to throw HoH. Nicole told Da’Vonne that Frank made an indirect comment that she took as him implying that Da’Vonne would nominate her. Nicole said that she didn’t give a reaction. Nicole told Da’Vonne that she didn’t bring it up because she didn’t believe it. Later, James asked Corey and Nicole if there is in alliance with Corey, Da’Vonne, Nicole, Paulie and Zakiyah. Corey said no and he swears to God. Corey said Frank wanted it to happen so that he can be the fifth wheel. James asked if they should tell Frank anything. Corey said no, calling Frank the new Victor. Corey figured that Frank would know something is up if James wins HoH. Corey said he doesn’t mind winning it because he could explain that Frank is playing with emotions and wanting his teammate Tiffany out when everyone else wants Bronte out. He told James and Nicole that he would nominate Bridgette as well and then backdoor Frank. Nicole wasn’t sure if Corey should take HoH or if he should let Tiffany take it. Corey said she is so emotional and paranoid that you don’t know what she would do. James said that they need someone competitive to be playing for the veto. Corey pointed out that he should get HoH because he is then playing in the veto competition. Nicole said no but Corey told her that it would be the best case. James said that he will make sure his team doesn’t win tomorrow. They discussed that they are fine with having Zakiyah as HoH if she will make the move. James thought that Da’Vonne would nominate Frank too. Corey and Nicole said it’s best for everyone to go as hard as they can. Nicole told James that he would have to promise that he is taking HoH. James said he won’t give it to Bronte or Natalie.
4:00-5:00 AM: James and Nicole confirmed with Michelle that she is going to throw the HoH competition. Nicole told Michelle that she has to do it even if Frank is screaming at her. Michelle said okay. Michelle wants Bridgette to be nominated alongside Frank so that she will have to campaign for herself instead of saving Frank. James suggested nominating Bronte and Bridgette so that they can backdoor Frank. James encouraged Michelle to do whatever she can to make sure that her team does not win. He told her that if it’s a puzzle she can knock it all down. James told Michelle that Frank has talked about going after the girls first. He listed off Bridgette, Bronte, Michelle, Natalie and Tiffany. James asked Nicole if she is ready to rock the boat. Nicole said yeah. James told Nicole that getting rid of Frank will take a lot of heat off of the vets because they got rid of one. Nicole said “let’s do this” before heading off to bed.
