Big Brother 18 Day 23 - Victor is evicted; Bridgette wins HoH
July 7, 2016
6:00-7:00 PM: During the live eviction episode, Victor was evicted by a vote of 9-1-0. Paul cast the lone vote to evict Bronte. The HoH competition then took place. Bridgette won HoH. The other three members of her team are safe for the week, meaning that Frank can no longer be targeted as was planned. Michelle and Paulie are also safe.
7:00-8:00 PM: Da’Vonne asked Frank what Bridgette is going to do. Frank said what he tells her to. Frank said that he will get Bridgette to nominate Tiffany and will try to get her to nominate Bronte. If she wont nominate Bronte, Frank would then try to get Paul nominated. In the bathroom, Paulie, Nicole and Zakiyah discussed that they have to win the Road Kill competition so that they can nominate Bronte or Natalie and send them home. Paulie said that he will try to push for Bronte to go on the block next to Tiffany. Frank then told Da’Vonne and Zakiyah that Bronte can go on the block if they win Road Kill. However, he said that he still wants Tiffany to leave this week. Bridgette and Frank then spoke. Bridgette said that she doesn’t want anybody to hate her. Frank asked if she has any ideas. Bridgette mentioned nominating either Corey and Nicole or Corey and Tiffany. Frank said he wants Tiffany on the block. He told Bridgette that he thinks everyone will be happy if Tiffany goes home this week. Frank suggested that Paul be nominated next to Tiffany. Bridgette said she was thinking Paul too. Bridgette said that Tiffany has been on her radar all week. She told Frank that Tiffany revealed to her that she is Vanessa’s sister two days ago. She wondered why she waited until now. Frank said that Tiffany is trying to build trust. Bridgette said she does not trust Tiffany. Paulie joined them. He threw it out there that they need strong competitors in the veto competition so that Tiffany does not win. He mentioned Bronte as a fierce competitor. Bridgette told Frank and Paulie that they can take Bridgette out but she cannot be the one to do it.
8:00-9:00 PM: Frank told Nicole that she thinks Bridgette is going to nominate Tiffany and Paul. Nicole said Frank is good. Frank let Nicole know that Bridgette had originally mentioned Corey and Nicole. Corey joined them. Frank said that they can win the Road Kill tomorrow and nominate Bronte. Frank told Corey and Nicole that Bridgette probably only considered nominating one of them because she felt bad because Paul’s team has been on slop twice. Nicole asked for reassurance that Paul would be going up. Frank said he feels good about it. Frank let them know that Tiffany told the girls on the other side about her sister. James joined them. Frank told James that Bridgette is not going after his team whatsoever. Frank and James left. Nicole asked Paulie about Bridgette having mentioned she and Nicole as nominees. Paulie said it didn’t happen while he was in the room. Nicole asked what Paulie got from the talk. Paulie said Frank wants Tiffany gone and he pushed for Paul to go up as well. Paulie told Corey and Nicole that he thinks all of their five are good. Paulie said it’s not terrible if Tiffany leaves this week. Nicole agreed and said that they have to go along with it and get Tiffany out this week. She said she doesn’t care who the target is as long as it’s not them. Nicole said that her going up next to Corey cannot happen. Paulie said that he would nominate Natalie if he wins the Road Kill. Paulie told Tiffany to prepare herself for the worst because this is Frank’s HoH. Paulie said that Tiffany cannot worry about it because somebody has got to win the Road Kill. Tiffany asked if she should try to make a deal with Bridgette since she’s a sure bet to go up. Paulie said it’s her call. Nicole told Tiffany that she is fine if she goes up. She also said that her name was thrown out there too. Tiffany asked if she is toast this week. Nicole said no. Nicole told Tiffany that they cannot be sketchy or else two of them may end up on the block together. Tiffany expects that Frank will try to put the target on her. Nicole told her that she cannot worry about that. Nicole spoke to Michelle and Zakiyah. She was worried about going on the block. They discussed Tiffany saying that she wants to make a deal with Bridgette. Michelle said that they should tell Frank about it. Nicole agreed that they need to so that Bridgette doesn’t take a deal. Nicole said that Tiffany will say whatever it takes to stay off the block. Nicole then let Frank know that Tiffany plans to cut a deal with Bridgette because she thinks she is going up because she is after Frank. Frank wanted to confront Tiffany for dropping his name. Nicole told him not to. Frank went to Bridgette and informed her that Tiffany plans to offer a deal to her.
9:00-10:00 PM: Nicole went to Paulie to tell him that Frank may ask him about Tiffany having brought up his name in front him. Paulie said that’s fine. Nicole then went to Corey to tell him that he needs to tell Frank that Tiffany said his name if he asks about it. Zakiyah asked Paulie if he cares if Tiffany leaves this week. Paulie said no. He explained that he doesn’t trust Tiffany, thinks she is too paranoid, thinks she cries too much and thinks that she is too much like Vanessa.
10:00-11:00 PM: Frank brought up a scenario to James. He asked if James would prefer to backdoor Corey or to get Paul out in the event that Tiffany wins the veto. James asked if they would have the votes to get Corey out. Frank figured that they would. James asked who wouldn’t want Corey out. Frank said Paulie. Frank asked James if he is worried about the girls numbers in comparison to the guys numbers. They discussed that Da’Vonne and Nicole would have to take charge of a girls alliance in order for it to work, but they wouldn’t do it. Frank then asked James if he would rather target Bronte or Corey if Bronte is up as the Road Kill nominee. James said that Bronte and Natalie are together. He said they are easily swayed and really do seem like they are only trying to make it to jury. On the other hand, James said he does not know what Corey would do if he won. Frank said he believes 100% that Corey would go after the people outside of the their alliance until they get down to eight. James said maybe go after Bronte then. He told Frank that he is down for whatever. Frank said that they don’t have to make the decision right now. They agreed that Bronte would be easier to get out later on than Corey would be.
12:00-1:00 AM: James let Corey and Nicole know that Frank asked about backdooring either Bronte or Corey this week. Corey said Frank is doing a lot of shady stuff and he needs to go. James said that he tried to deflect by saying that he doesn’t think that they would have the votes to get Corey out. Corey told James that Frank has been saying stuff like he doesn’t care if Da’Vonne and James have kids, and that’s not an excuse to keep them around until jury. Zakiyah said that Frank does not deserve to be there. She pointed out that he is calling people names and slapping the girls on the ass. Corey thought that they should tell the whole house about what Frank is doing, including Bridgette, Bronte and Natalie.
1:00-2:00 AM: Da’Vonne came down from the HoH room and was heated with Frank. She said that Frank told her to “shut your damn mouth, woman”. She told Tiffany that she said the same thing right back to him. Da’Vonne said she is trying not to be the Da’Vonne from last year so she is trying to shut up. Michelle said that she will throw the HoH competition next week so that they can get Frank out. Da’Vonne was upset that Frank had smacked her ass again. Nicole said he is always punching her in the arm and she is bruised because of it. Corey asked if they should go to Bridgette in order to get one of Frank’s people out. Zakiyah called Bridgette a rat that can’t be trusted. Michelle suggested that they go to people like Paul next week, telling them to throw HoH in exchange for going to jury by letting them get Frank out. Meanwhile, up in the HoH room, Bridgette and Frank spoke about nominations. The plan remains to nominate Paul and Tiffany. Most the of the discussions at this point were focused on what to say at the nomination ceremony. Bronte and Natalie were also up there and offered their support. Bronte told Bridgette that Paul and Tiffany are the two people she could target without getting any backlash. Back downstairs, Frank remained the topic of conversation. Nicole said she cannot believe that Frank is like this. She admitted that she thought the world of him before the season started. Tiffany said her sister told her to work with Frank if the rumours ended up being true and if he were on the show. Zakiyah worried that Frank would push Da’Vonne until she snaps. Da’Vonne had gone to the diary room. When she came back out, Frank smacked her ass again and caused her to cry. Da’Vonne said she has to go to the diary room because she just about lost her chance to play the game by hitting Frank. James told Natalie that he is super pissed about what Frank is doing. He let Natalie know that Da’Vonne almost hit Frank because of it. James filled Natalie in on Frank’s comments about their children and how that doesn’t mean that they should get to jury. James said that Frank should leave family out of the game. Elsewhere, Corey told Nicole that he is willing to get just as dirty as Frank is being. Corey said he does not want Frank in jury. Nicole agreed. Paulie told Corey and Nicole that he wants to say something to Frank about his behaviour. Da’Vonne returned from another trip to the diary room. She told James that she was this close to hitting Frank. Paulie asked Da’Vonne if he could say something to Frank. Da’Vonne was fine with it. Paulie pulled Frank aside and said that what he is doing does not sit right with him. Paulie mentioned that he would not let someone treat his sister like that. He told Frank that Da’Vonne does not want her daughter watching this one day and thinking that it’s acceptable to behave like that. Paulie assured Frank that everything will be fine by tomorrow. Frank said that he will apologize to Da’Vonne then.
