Big Brother 18 Day 26
July 10, 2016
10:00-11:00 AM: James let Corey know that Paulie’s idea was to try to get Frank to throw the HoH competition this week by planting a seed in Frank’s head that James will go after Corey or Paulie. James said that he planted that seed last night and Frank is down with it. James clarified that Frank didn’t say that he was going to throw the competition. James thinks tha Frank will try to backdoor Da'Vonne if he wins HoH. James told Corey that if he wins HoH he will probably nominate Bronte and Paul. He would then tell Frank that they are trying to get Bronte out, maybe mentioning that they are trying to backdoor somebody big like Da’Vonne. James said that he could then nominate Frank once someone comes down. Corey said that it shouldn’t be too hard since everyone is on board. Corey told James that they will have to hope that Frank isn’t picked to play in the veto competition. James hoped that they could tell Frank they need everyone to throw it or something even if he does get picked. James told Corey that Frank is telling him to go after Corey and Paulie and is telling Paulie to go after Da’Vonne. James let Corey know that he has his back and is not going to put him up. Corey said the same to James. Corey asked where Natalie’s head is at. James said that she knows a little bit about what is going on but he does not namedrop with her. Corey said he likes Natalie and thinks that she is trustworthy. As for Bridgette, James said that the plan is to tell her everything that Frank has done including nominating her in week one. They were going to wait until next week to tell her, once Frank is stuck on the block. Corey said he likes Bridgette but she would be his top girl target other than Tiffany. James said it’s a done deal that Tiffany is leaving this week.
11:00-12:00 PM: Michelle asked Da’Vonne if she thinks that Tiffany will expose anything during the 30 seconds that she will have after she is evicted. Da’Vonne didn’t think so, since she expects Tiffany to be in shock. Michelle worried that Tiffany would tell Frank that they are all after him. She said that even worse would be having Tiffany come back. Da’Vonne still didn’t think that Tiffany would say anything. Michelle then asked if not having a lot of diary room sessions means that people hate you. Da’Vonne said no. She explained that a lot people, even those considered good, don’t start showing themselves until around jury. She pointed out that people were calling Becky and Jackie part of the furniture for the early portion of the season, only to start calling them Queen Becky and Queen Jackie once they started playing after they had reached jury.
2:00-3:00 PM: While everyone else was sleeping, Frank spoke to the live feeders. Frank said that Tiffany is on the block and will go home this week with a unanimous vote or close to it. Frank said his game is all over the place right now. He said he is working with the vets, he is working with the Seven Pack which is kind of still the Eight Pack with Paulie, he is working with Paulie and Corey, and he is getting closer to Bridgette, Bronte, Natalie and Paul. Frank said he is in a pretty good spot, much better than last season when everyone wanted him out. Frank admitted that he doesn’t know where is loyalties lie at this point. He said he made a Final 2 with Nicole and thinks that she has his back. Frank said he would love to be in the Final 3 with Nicole and either Bridgette or Natalie. Frank wants to get Da’Vonne out next, followed by Paulie. Frank figured that Zakiyah would then be locked in to him. Frank briefly considered trying to get Zakiyiah to take a shot at somebody, before saying that Tiffany has got to go. Frank went over the plan for next week, saying that they can throw HoH to Michelle and get her to nominate Bronte and Paul or Bronte and Natalie. Frank then wanted to win the Road Kill in order to nominate Da’Vonne. Frank hopes that James will take a shot at Corey and Paulie because one of them will go and then the other will be after James because of it.
3:00-4:00 PM: Corey and Frank spoke in the bedroom. Frank let Corey know that he wants to take a shot at Da’Vonne next week. Frank didn’t want Da’Vonne to be in jury tainting it against them after they cut her. Frank said that Da’Vonne is a pretty good speaker. Corey agreed. Frank said that ideally he would like Michelle to get HoH and nominate Bronte and Natalie. After that, he wanted to nominate Da’Vonne through the Road Kill. Frank thought that the votes to evict Da’Vonne would be the two of them, Bridgette, Paulie and whichever other member of the other side is not on the block. Frank believes that Da’Vonne is dying for a win and he is worried what she might do. Frank said he worries that Da’Vonne would go after Corey or Paulie in order to get Nicole or Zakiyah closer to her. Corey said he gets what Frank is saying but you would be stupid to mess up what they have going on when they are picking off the others 100% of the time. Frank still worried about Da’Vonne winning. He said the two of them, Nicole, Paulie and Zakiyah would still be together as five of the eight. Frank said he would rather have Bridgette, Natalie and Paul around over Da’Vonne and James because they are layups. Frank thinks that it would be best to take advantage of the Road Kill to get somebody out from their side while they have the chance.
4:00-5:00 PM: Paulie informed Paul that Frank has been trying to form a bunch of different alliances around the house. Paul said he kind of figured that. Paul asked if he is okay this week. Corey and Paulie assured Paul that he is safe. Paulie told Paul that Frank nominated him the first week, then he had to nominate Paul the second week because Frank had promised Natalie that she wouldn’t go up. This week, Paulie said that Frank was in Bridgette’s ear to nominate Paul. Paulie told Paul that Frank has mentioned picking off the two of them, Corey and James. Paul was surprised that Frank is not with Corey and Paulie. Paulie said they thought he was with them too. Paulie explained that the plan is to get Frank out next week before he gets the chance to take one of them out. Paulie said they are going to let Bronte know that Frank nominated her this week. Paulie explained that the only way to separate Bridgette from Frank is by getting through to the two girls who Bridgette trusts more than Frank. Corey let Paul know that Frank wants Paul to be nominated again next week so that they can get Da’Vonne out. Paul was surprised by it all but said he did notice that sometimes Frank will continue on with a conversation when he enters the room but other times he will change the subject. The others told him that’s because Frank is playing all sides of the house. Paulie let Da’Vonne know that Frank is talking about nominating her if he wins Road Kill. Paulie said that Frank will come after he and Corey if Da’Vonne wins HoH and is off the table. Paulie told Da’Vonne that James is going to talk to Natalie about how Frank is the one who nominated Bridgette the first week and Bronte this week. Paulie figured that Bridgette is the only one that they have to worry about picking Frank to play in the veto competition. In the bathroom, Corey let Michelle and Nicole know that Frank wants to target Da’Vonne next week. He told Michelle that Frank wants her out the week after.
5:00-6:00 PM: Paulie and Tiffany had a quick chat in the have-not room. Paulie said he think that Bronte is going to be the one to go this week. Tiffany said that she wants to win HoH so bad so that she can get Frank out. Tiffany told Paulie that she would have to backdoor Frank, so she would nominate Bridgette and Natalie initially. The two discussed how well Paulie’s team has performed thus far. Paulie inadvertently revealed that Frank won this week’s Road Kill competition by commenting on “Frank with the Road Kills”. Tiffany asked if Paulie thinks that Frank won this week. Paulie said he thinks so and that the information will blow up in Frank’s face once it gets out to the girls on the other side.
6:00-7:00 PM: Tiffany asked Paul how he is feeling. Paul said he feels like he is okay. He asked Tiffany if she has heard anything. Tiffany said that more than likely the veto is not going to be used, which she thinks is good for them. Paul asked if Tiffany knows who won the Road Kill. Tiffany admitted that she had thought Paul had won it. Since he claims that he did not, Tiffany figured that it must be either Bridgette or Frank. In the other room, James and Michelle discussed that Frank is trying to get Da’Vonne out next. James said that he let Da’Vonne know about it. James said Frank has been trying to get him to go after Corey and Paulie if he wins this week, so he is playing all of them but doesn’t know that they know it. Michelle said Frank has totally forgotten how to play Big Brother and she cannot wait to get him out. Both James and Michelle agreed that Frank scares them. James mentioned that if they don’t get him out next week then he will be in jury and win the competition to come back. As for the girls on the other side of the house, Michelle said that she has nothing against Natalie but she wants both Bridgette and Bronte to go.
7:00-8:00 PM: Bridgette earned an Outback dinner for her team by winning yesterday’s veto competition. Tonight, she found out that she could choose one other team to take along with them. Bridgette chose to bring Da’Vonne, Paul and Zakiyah to dinner.
8:00-9:00 PM: The Outback dinner took place in the backyard. Meanwhile, James’ team and Nicole’s team were stuck inside. Nicole said that she doesn’t trust Da’Vonne at all. She thinks that Da’Vonne will screw she and Corey over. Nicole told Corey that Da’Vonne is always putting a target on them. Nicole is on board with Da’Vonne being backdoored soon. Nicole suspects that Da’Vonne told James about their five person group with Paulie and Zakiyah. She did. Nicole thought that they had lost a bit of trust with James by denying it. Corey and Nicole discussed that Tiffany leaving is not good for them. Corey said that he wants her to go but it’s not best for the team. He suggested that they try to get Bronte out if she stays on the block. Nicole agreed but worried that the others would let them be the only two that vote to evict Bronte. Corey believes that getting Bronte out is best because she is a number for the other side. Nicole said that Tiffany would never nominate them during a double eviction, while Bronte would, which is good enough reason to keep her. She said that she tried to test the waters with Zakiyah earlier but she 100% wants Tiffany to leave.
9:00-10:00 PM: After the Outback dinner ended, Bridgette and Frank headed up to the HoH room to chat. They discussed plenty of game. Frank said Corey wouldn’t put him on the block but it doesn’t mean that he wants to go near the end with him. Frank prefers to be there with people who are easier to beat. Frank said that they may have to go after Corey next week. Bridgette admitted that she would have nominated him this week had Tiffany won the veto. As for Zakiyah, Frank said that he wants to keep her around. Frank said that a lot of people would expect him to nominate Bronte if he were to win HoH next week. Frank said he doesn’t want to do that. Bridgette and Frank agreed that Bronte is with them. Bridgette asked Frank what he thinks about Paulie. Frank said that he likes Paulie but he has to go eventually because he is too well liked and a strong competitor. Frank said he believes that James would take a shot at both Corey and Paulie next week. Bridgette told Frank that he better have fixed things with Da’Vonne. Frank said it’s fixed and the vets will not be coming after him. Frank told Bridgette that nobody look at him in a bad way right now. Frank revealed to Bridgette that he won Road Kill this week and nominated Bronte. He then revealed that he won it the first week and nominated Bridgette. Bridgette said she knew it. Frank explained that he knew Bridgette wouldn’t go home. Bridgette thanked Frank for nominating her. They continued to talk game. Frank said that he wants Corey, Da’Vonne and Paulie out in the next five to six weeks.
10:00-11:00 PM: Corey told Paulie that he almost to the point where he wants to send Bronte home if she is on the block. He pointed out that Frank wants Tiffany out and wants Da’Vonne out even though they are supposed to be two members of their alliance. Corey was concerned that they would only have a 7-5 advantage if they send Tiffany home, so they could easily lose the numbers if they don’t win competitions or if someone goes to the other side. Corey brought up that everything has been too easy up to this point and it wont continue that way. Paulie disagreed with that comment because he said Cody and Derrick got everyone out that they wanted and it was easily done.
12:00-1:00 AM: Michelle, Nicole, Paulie and Tiffany chatted in the bedroom. Michelle said she can’t wait for Frank to be a failure by being the first vet to leave the house. Paulie said they will need to get his side piece, Bridgette, out of the house if they fail at getting Frank out. Not long after, Michelle brought up that they have to nominate Bridgette and Bronte next week. Tiffany questioned Bronte being brought up. She asked “isn’t Bronte going to be gone?”. Michelle said oh yeah. She switched it up and said Natalie and Bridgette need to go up. Nicole blamed Michelle saying Bronte’s name on the fact that she had been drinking earlier.
1:00-2:00 AM: Natalie asked James if the vote is going to be split. James said no. He told Natalie that he will make sure of that. Natalie said she will be mad if Bronte goes home. They then discussed Frank. James let Natalie know that the plan he told her was in action prior to the last HoH was to target Frank. James then brought up Bridgette getting nominate week one. He asked Natalie if she knows who nominated her. Natalie guessed Frank. James asked how she knows that. Natalie wasn’t 100% sure. She asked if Frank really nominated Bridgette. James said yeah. James pointed out that Frank put Bridgette in danger of going home.
2:00-3:00 AM: Nicole was alone outside and spoke to herself. She said that it may benefit her to keep Frank around. She mentioned that everyone else wants Frank out but he is not throwing her name around. She questioned why she would take Frank out if he doesn’t want her out. Nicole said that what would be best for her game is to completely team up with Frank and be each other’s #1. Nicole continued by saying that it would mean getting rid of Bridgette and Corey. She was about to say that that is something that she doesn’t necessarily feel a certain way about but then the feeds changed. Not long after, Corey joined Nicole. He said that he thinks Bronte will do what one of them says. He added that she is not a threat in competitions and she sucks. Nicole didn’t think that Bronte would nominate either of them. Corey said Tiffany is going to screw things up eventually but Bronte will not. Nicole said she does not trust Da’Vonne. Corey didn’t want Da’Vonne or Zakiyah to win HoH because he does not want to rely on them having to beat Frank in the veto competition. Corey hoped that either he or James could win HoH. He said they should nominate Bronte and Paul again. Nicole asked if they can nominate Da’Vonne as the third nominee. Corey was on board with it. Nicole said that she wants Da’Vonne and Frank to have to campaign against each other. Nicole said she will feel bad about Tiffany going but she has to go. Corey said he wont feel bad one bit and wont miss her. Nicole said that she really likes working with Paulie. She went so far as to say that wants to be in the Final 4 with Paulie and Zakiyah. Corey said that would be cool. Da’Vonne came outside and told Nicole that she thinks she is a really good girl, she is glad their paths crossed and she hopes that they remain friends forever. Afterwards, Nicole told Corey that she feels so bad now for just saying that she doesn’t trust Da’Vonne.
