Big Brother 18 Day 28 - Da'Vonne, James and Michelle discuss saving Tiffany
July 12, 2016
9:00-10:00 AM: Tiffany asked James if he knows who he is voting for. Feeds then cut before James answered. When they returned, Tiffany told James that she has had four or five people tell her that they are voting for her to stay. Tiffany reassured James that she is not after him and that they are on the same side which she has never wavered from. Tiffany asked if Frank is working to get her out. James said that Frank is all over the place. James told Tiffany that he wouldn’t mind Paul leaving. Tiffany told James that she would never put him up and she has talked to Da’Vonne about working together with him. Tiffany said it would be in James’ best interest to keep her because they have different strengths and could keep each other safe. Tiffany told James that she would like to work with him, Da’Vonne and Michelle. Tiffany said that it would make no sense for Corey and Nicole to get rid of her when she is on their team. In addition to Da’Vonne and Michelle, Tiffany figured that she then has four votes. James assumed that they would then be voting against Bronte. Tiffany said she doesn’t know and thought that James was more in the know that she was. James said that he hasn’t talked much game yet this week. James told Tiffany that he will save her as long as Corey, Nicole and everyone is on board and he is the last vote. Tiffany thanked James and told him that she would keep him to the end and never nominate him.
In the bedroom, Da’Vonne, James and Michelle discussed keeping Tiffany. They said that they have three votes and need just two more. James said they need Corey and Nicole. Da’Vonne didn’t think that they would do it. James figured that he could get Corey on board. Da’Vonne said that Corey could convince Nicole if James could get Corey on board. Michelle said that Corey hates Tiffany so there is more of a chance to get Paulie’s vote. James told the girls that he knows he could get Tiffany one more vote. James said that he could get Natalie’s vote 100% if he were to ask her. Da’Vonne said that she doesn’t care if Frank is pissed because they would have Tiffany, James and herself going for HoH against him. James told Michelle that she better moving like a sloth cause they need her to lose the HoH competition so that Frank isn’t safe. Da’Vonne wanted to continue to make Frank think that they want Paulie out. James said the only bad thing is if Frank wins the veto. Michelle said they could still get Bridgette out. Da’Vonne agreed, saying that Bridgette is his only ally and they could take another shot at Frank the next week. James said he felt bad for Tiffany because she was saying she is fine with going home but she wants to know if people are lying to her. Da’Vonne said she doesn’t know what to do. James said he is on board as long as Corey and Nicole are. Da’Vonne agreed and said they could present it in a manner that Tiffany is one more person to go after Frank. Michelle pointed out that Frank would likely go after Tiffany if he does manage to win, so it’s good for Corey. Da’Vonne agreed that they can pitch that Tiffany will be a target in front of them. James said he knows that they can get the house to flip if they put in the work. He said it’s a matter of whether or not they want to push the issue. Michelle said they are listening to Frank if they take Tiffany out. James said they need to do everything that Frank says not to do. James said now that he thinks about it, Natalie would probably vote with them but she would not want to.
10:00-11:00 AM: Da’Vonne told Tiffany that whatever she talked to James about this morning, it worked. She told Tiffany that James is on board with her being another person to take out Frank. Da’Vonne said that Tiffany needs to go to Corey and Nicole to make sure that they are on board with keeping her. Da’Vonne told James that she wants to get Tiffany the votes but she feels like everyone is so stuck. James said that he and Michelle are not stuck, so that’s a good start. Da’Vonne brought up that James said he could probably get Natalie. James said Natalie would have to vote against Paul. Da’Vonne said that she would never vote Bronte out if Natalie were to stick her neck out for them. Da’Vonne said it sucks because she likes Paul. James said he is a likeable guy but he is the type that gets put up on the block again and again but will make it to the end. Da’Vonne said maybe they can get him out this week. James agreed.
1:00-2:00 PM: Tiffany let Nicole know that James has that he would vote to keep her. Nicole said good. She told Tiffany that they can talk once Michelle and the others wake up. Tiffany mentioned that she and James were discussing that Frank may be trying to get the numbers to get her out. Nicole pointed out that Frank is hanging out with the girls on the other side a lot. Nicole told Tiffany to talk to Da’Vonne too. Tiffany said that Da’Vonne is on board and thinks that everyone still wants Bronte out.
2:00-3:00 PM: Tiffany asked Paulie if he has heard anything as far as what people are thinking for the vote. Paulie said that he has not heard anything other than what was spoken about originally. Tiffany told Paulie that James, Da’Vonne and Michelle have told her that they will keep her. She also said it only makes sense for Corey and Nicole to keep her. Tiffany wondered if Frank has been trying to get people to vote her out. Paulie said that he hasn’t heard anything about that. Tiffany pointed out that she is a vote to get Frank out and that she would go after him if she wins HoH. Paulie suggested that Tiffany tell people that when talking to them. Paulie explained that Frank told he and Corey to backdoor Da’Vonne but told Da’Vonne to come after he and Corey. Paulie mentioned that Frank brought up going after Da’Vonne after the incident with her. Tiffany said it’s just like what Frank did with her and is starting to do with Michelle.
3:00-4:00 PM: Da’Vonne told Michelle that she advised Tiffany to be someone who people would want to keep. Da’Vonne said she meant to socialize, not to clean everything. Tiffany cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom. Da’Vonne said that she is scrubbing her life away. Michelle asked Da’Vonne if she knew that she was going home when she got evicted last season. Da’Vonne said yeah and explained that everyone told her she would be safe, so that’s why she hates lying to Tiffany when she has been in that situation. Da’Vonne told Michelle that she will be giving Tiffany her vote even if she is the only one to vote for her. Da’Vonne mentioned that it’s not like Tiffany did anything malicious to anybody. Michelle said Tiffany just wants Frank out. Da’Vonne discussed that it will be a divided house if they only get five votes to save Tiffany. However, Da’Vonne said that even if the house is divided, she trusts Michelle, she trusts James, James trusts Natalie, and Tiffany is gunning for Frank. As for Nicole and Zakiyah, Da’Vonne said that she trusts them but they have got their boys. Da’Vonne questioned when it became okay to have a showmance. She wondered why nobody is targeting them.
4:00-5:00 PM: Tiffany told Da’Vonne that she talked to Paulie and he said that he is on board with getting Bronte out. Tiffany asked Da’Vonne what her gut is telling her. Da’Vonne explained that she doesn’t know because last year everyone looked her in the face and said that she was good too. Da’Vonne said that she is trying to figure some stuff out in case there is something going on. Da’Vonne told Tiffany that she is trying to figure out who the five solid votes can be this week. She listed off James and Michelle as being solid. Da’Vonne admitted that she is feeling on the outs with Corey, Nicole, Paulie and Zakiyah. Tiffany suggested that she and Da’Vonne form something with James and Michelle if she stays this week. Da’Vonne agreed. Tiffany wondered what Nicole has with Frank. Da’Vonne wasn’t sure but said that she wants to win HoH in order to get to the bottom of things, since people spill everything to the HoH at this stage of the game. Tiffany said she doesn’t think that she deserves a blindside, but her gut tells her that she is staying. Tiffany said she is about 65% sure. Da’Vonne told her that’s a low percentage. Tiffany said 65% is the reality but it would be 95% if everyone is being honest with her. While Da’Vonne and Tiffany chatted, James ran the idea of keeping Tiffany by Pauile. Paulie said that Tiffany is going to become her sister if she stays in the game. He also said that she will go crazy if she finds out that she was the target this week. For those reasons, Paulie said that Tiffany has got to go.
5:00-6:00 PM: Da’Vonne brought up the idea of keeping Tiffany to Nicole. Nicole said that she has been thinking about it. Michelle asked if Nicole would vote to keep her. Nicole said that she absolutely would if they are on board. They said yes and Michelle let Nicole know that they talked to James as well. Nicole said that Zakiyah is not on board. Da’Vonne said they don’t need her vote anyway. Nicole said that Corey will vote to keep Tiffany because she is on their team. Da’Vonne said they can send Bronte home. Michelle said that would be great. Nicole questioned why they don’t talk cause she was thinking about this as well. Da’Vonne said there is never time. Michelle said that Frank will be gunning after Tiffany even if he wins HoH. They discussed that they have to make a pact not to reveal who kept Tiffany so that Frank doesn’t know. Nicole figured that they should tell Paulie and Zakiyah but she didn’t think that they would be on board. Da’Vonne said that Zakiyah is gung-ho about getting Tiffany out. Frank broke up the talk. A while later, Da’Vonne asked Zakiyah how she would feel about voting Bronte out. Zakiyah said she will do what everyone wants. Nicole pointed out that Tiffany would never nominate the three of them, whereas Frank has been in Bronte’s ear all week. Zakiyah said she would not mind voting Bronte out. They discussed that Corey and Paulie may not be on board. Da’Vonne said that she doesn’t care. Nicole said she doesn’t either and will vote Bronte out either way, but she doesn’t want them to be shellshocked on eviction night. Da’Vonne said she is 100% on board with Corey and Paulie being informed about the plan. They discussed that Frank will be pissed off but it wont matter as long as he is not in power. Nicole thought that it would be best to have a male as HoH so that they have someone to compete against Frank if he is chosen to play in the veto competition. Da’Vonne said that Paulie or James could be used as a pawn in order to allow them to compete. Zakiyah asked what she should tell Paulie to get him on board with keeping Tiffany. Nicole said that Tiffany would never nominate Paulie and she would be Frank’s target.
6:00-7:00 PM: Zakiyah told Paulie that she is thinking that they could change the plan and target Bronte instead of Tiffany. Zakiyah asked why they would get somebody out who is on board with getting Frank out. Zakiyah said Bronte is a second Bridgette on Frank’s side. Paulie said that would change once she finds out that Frank won the Road Kill. Zakiyah said Tiffany is a vote against Frank. Paulie said that they have the votes whether or not Tiffany is there. Zakiyah then said that Tiffany is not coming after Paulie. Paulie insisted that Tiffany is a long term threat and they have to take the shot at her now. Across the yard, James asked Nicole if she really wants Tiffany to leave. Nicole said no. James asked why they are voting her out then. Nicole said she wanted to talk about the vote. James asked if they are going to vote Bronte or Paul out. Nicole said Bronte, which led to James questioning why they would do that when Paul wins more. Nicole mentioned that Natalie would come running to James once Bronte is gone. James asked when they will take a shot at Paul. Nicole explained that she likes Paul and is fine with him getting to jury. Nicole asked if James is trying to protect Bronte. James said no because he is only loyal to the people he came into the house with. James said it’s a tough call because everyone was previously wanting to get Tiffany out. Nicole said it’s best to keep the target in there. James and Nicole debated if it’s worthwhile to make the move when it would tip Frank off to the fact that they are against him. James said Nicole’s team will be vulnerable to get picked off if they lose Tiffany and go down to two people. James stood up in the backyard and asked who they are voting out. Paulie said Tiffany because she is the long term threat. James told Corey and Nicole that it is dangerous for them to vote their teammate out. Nicole said Tiffany would be Frank’s target. She told Paulie that Tiffany would never put him up. Paulie said that she would 100% once the numbers dwindled down. Nicole questioned if he thinks that Bronte wouldn’t do the same. Corey said that Bronte is dangerous to their group right now but Tiffany is not. Michelle joined them and said that she wants Bronte out. Corey said that they can get Tiffany out at any time. Everyone but Paulie and Zakiyah agreed that Tiffany is not a threat in competitions. Paulie told the group that it’s fine if they want to keep Tiffany, but they would all have to keep their mouths shut or else Tiffany will come after them once she finds out that she was the target. However, Paulie was still arguing his case for getting Tiffany out. Paul came outside and broke the talk up.
7:00-8:00 PM: James told Da’Vonne that Nicole said she wouldn’t mind keeping Tiffany but Da’Vonne is saying that she wants to vote Tiffany out. Da’Vonne said she cannot believe that Zakiyah is saying that. James figured that Zakiyah didn’t want to keep Tiffany now that Paulie is so strongly against it. Da’Vonne said that’s stupid. Da’Vonne and James agreed that they need to solidify something by tomorrow. Da’Vonne said that at least they can say they tried to keep Tiffany. Nicole then told Da’Vonne that Paulie had a long list of reasons as to why Tiffany has to go. She said it was really awkward but she tried to give Paulie reasons to keep Tiffany. Da’Vonne asked if Zakiyah helped at all. Nicole said that she remained quiet but Michelle helped her. Nicole headed outside and told Corey that they have to get Tiffany out even though they have the votes to keep her. Nicole said she does not want to piss Frank off. Nicole said that she doesn’t trust Da’Vonne, so that is her target next week. Nicole mentioned that she is considering telling Frank that Da’Vonne tried to flip the vote. Nicole assumed that Frank is now going after Da’Vonne but would be coming after all of them if they were to save Tiffany. Frank joined them. They discussed going after Da’Vonne. Nicole asked how they can make sure that Da’Vonne’s team doesn’t win HoH. Asking Paul to throw the HoH competition is an option that was considered. Nicole asked Frank not to tell Michelle about the plan. Nicole told Corey that she would rather do Frank’s dirty work than do Da’Vonne’s. She told Corey that they can use Frank’s help in getting Da’Vonne out. She said that she wants to tell Frank that it was Da’Vonne’s idea to get him out, not Tiffany’s. On the hammock, Da’Vonne and Paulie talked about the vote. Paulie would not back down from his stance that Tiffany has got to go. Da’Vonne didn’t provide much of an opposition but she did make a few points as to why Tiffany staying would be beneficial.
8:00-9:00 PM: Nicole asked Paulie if Da’Vonne tried to talk him into keeping Tiffany. Paulie said no. Nicole told Paulie that Da’Vonne tried to talk her into but she doesn’t want to do it. Nicole admitted that she had been convinced but she thinks that Da’Vonne just wants to make Frank mad. Nicole clarified that she wants Tiffany out this week. Corey, Nicole and Frank then spoke. They discussed targeting Da’Vonne next. Frank said that ideally they can nominate her as the third nominee. However, he said that he would nominate her as HoH if he had to. Corey and Paul then discussed the plan for next week. It was mentioned that nominating Bridgette may not be smart since she could pick Frank to play in the veto competition. Paul said that he could nominate Natalie since Frank told him to and then Paulie because he can compete against Frank if Frank gets to play, and Paulie is someone who has nominated him.
9:00-10:00 PM: Frank told Bridgette that they it will be important for one of them to win the Road Kill competition this week. Frank said that Bridgette shouldn’t tell anyone if she wins. She asked if she should tell Frank. He said yes because he has to tell her who to put up. Bridgette said that she can decide. Frank said they will decide together. Frank threw an idea out there that he and Bridgette could work with Corey and Nicole down the line. In the bathroom, Nicole, Michelle and Zakiyah discussed that Paulie’s reasons for wanting to get rid of Tiffany didn’t really make sense. They said that they will be voting Tiffany out. Corey had earlier said the same. Nicole said that she doesn’t want to cause any crap though. She said James was on board with keeping Tiffany but then he got weird about it because he doesn’t want to make Frank mad. James joined them. Nicole asked if they are just going to vote Tiffany out. James he said he guesses so.
10:00-11:00 PM: Frank told Nicole that the two of them, Bridgette and Corey would make a dangerous foursome. They again talked about getting Da’Vonne out next. Nicole worried that it would be hard to get the votes. Frank disagreed. He used the example of Corey being HoH. He listed off votes as Nicole, Bridgette, himself and whoever isn’t nominated out of Bronte, Natalie and Paul. Nicole said that Da’Vonne could promise her the world and she would not think that it’s true. Frank agreed. Frank said that Da’Vonne and James may have a Final 2. Nicole said for sure. In the bedroom, Da’Vonne told James that she is fine with being on the block next to Frank if he wins the Road Kill and nominates her. Da’Vonne figured that Frank would be after she or James but that it would not work since they have the votes. Da’Vonne mentioned that Paul had better not throw the HoH competition. James suggested that she ask Paul. Da’Vonne said she will tell Paul at the last minute that Frank is going after him if need be. James asked if Da’Vonne thinks that Nicole is up to some shady stuff. Da’Vonne said she isn’t sure but hates the fact that she doesn’t know. James said Nicole is hard to read. He told Da’Vonne that Frank really trusts Nicole and that he seems them talking a lot. Da’Vonne said Nicole will go to the ends of the earth to protect Corey. Da’Vonne bought up that they don’t seem to have the votes because the others are too chicken. Da’Vonne didn’t like the manner in which Paulie spoke to her about getting Tiffany out. Da’Vonne took it as Paulie thinking that he will be running the house once Tiffany and Frank go. James said Paulie is starting to become a dictator.
2:00-3:00 AM: Bridgette, Frank and Michelle chatted in the backyard. Frank asked Michelle what her gut feeling about Da’Vonne is. Michelle said that she trusts Da’Vonne but the thing that Frank said about her asking her to be a pawn is scary. Frank said Da’Vonne’s response was a lie and that is not her true plan. Frank said he doesn’t know what Da’Vonne would do or who she would nominate if she were to get in power. Frank suggested that Da’Vonne may be the bigger target next week. Michelle said that she is fine with it as long as it’s not her. Frank said Da’Vonne is a big fan of the game and will want to make a big move, so he wants to beat her to the punch. Frank didn’t think that Da’Vonne would come after him next week, since he thinks that she would nominate Corey and Paulie. Frank told Bridgette and Michelle that they can nominate Da’Vonne with the Road Kill or else backdoor her if they don’t win it. Frank asked if Michelle is fine with going after Da’Vonne. Michelle said yeah. Frank told Michelle that Nicole was worried that she would not be on board.
3:00-4:00 AM: Michelle told Da’Vonne about Frank wanting to nominate her and about them being after Paulie. Da’Vonne told Michelle that as long as Corey and Paulie are in the house, they will never have Nicole and Zakiyah 100%. For that reason, Da’Vonne said she would be fine with Paulie leaving after Frank. Da’Vonne said she cannot believe that Frank told Michelle that he was going to put her up. Michelle said that she played along with it. She told Da’Vonne that Frank said Da’Vonne cannot know about it because she will go crazy. She added that Bridgette said Da’Vonne would go insane and stir things up. Michelle let Da’Vonne know that Frank is fine with Corey or Nicole winning because they said that they would nominate her too. Nicole joined them. Michelle said that Bridgette and Frank said she knows about the plan to get Da’Vonne out. Nicole said she has no idea about that. Michelle explained that Frank said Nicole is in on it and told him not to tell Michelle because she was worried that she would not be on board. Nicole said Frank would not mention Da’Vonne’s name to her and think that she would be okay with it. Nicole said she is pissed about all of this. Nicole said she hates Frank. Nicole said this is what happened on her season and Christine believed it. Da’Vonne said that she knows better. Michelle told Da’Vonne that Frank said her using Michelle as a pawn and that she has a bigger plan. Michelle said that Bronte and Natalie want to win HoH in order to go after Paulie. Nicole went back to what Frank said. She said that she wants to confront Frank about it. Da’Vonne and Michelle told her not to. Michelle said Frank told her that Corey and Nicole can win HoH cause they will backdoor Da’Vonne. Michelle brought up that Frank thinks he has Corey in his back pocket. Nicole said Corey hates that Frank ruined the Eight Pack. Michelle then said that Paulie said Corey, Frank and himself are like Caleb, Cody and Derrick. Nicole said that’s weird. Da’Vonne said Frank said the same thing to her even before he blew up the Eight Pack, so it might be true.
Nicole planned to tell Corey about everything Frank said. Da’Vonne said that if Corey is going to snap then they should just keep Tiffany because the only reason that people wont do it is out of fear of Frank. Nicole said that Corey will not snap. Michelle said that Tiffany must know something about Paulie because he is so scared about her staying. Michelle mentioned that Tiffany may know something about who Paulie is aligned with, such as Bridgette, Bronte and Natalie. Nicole went to get Corey. Da’Vonne told Michelle that they cannot tell Nicole anything else. Michelle agreed and said that it’s not that big of a deal unless it was true. Da’Vonne said she got quiet the more that Nicole erupted. She questioned why Nicole is so adamant about proving that she did not say that to Frank. Da’Vonne let Michelle know that James thinks Nicole has been scheming with Frank because he always sees the two of them talking together. Da’Vonne also didn’t understand why Nicole has to tell Corey. Da’Vonne said that Michelle and James are her focus cause she cannot worry about Nicole and Zakiyah when they have their own agendas. Nicole brought Corey back into the room. Corey was not concerned about what Frank said. He told Nicole that they knew all of this was happening. Da’Vonne questioned why Nicole got Corey. She said that she doesn’t like her name being thrown around. Corey said he hates that their whole group is shooting themselves in the foot right now. Da’Vonne and Michelle agreed.
4:00-5:00 AM: Paul joined Corey, Da’Vonne, Michelle and Nicole. Michelle asked if Paul tells everything to Bronte. Paul said hell no and asked if they think that he is an idiot. Michelle said she was told that Paul tells Bronte everything and that she tells Natalie and James everything. Paul said no, but explained that he was told that he eventually needs to tell Bronte about Frank. Michelle informed Paul that Frank plans to approach him about throwing the HoH competition because he does not win Da’Vonne to win. Paul said he will say yeah, win the competition and throw Frank up on the block. Paul said he wants to blindside that fool harder than he has ever known. Paul claimed that he would call Frank out on his bullying and then say a man once told him his friendship would get him evicted, but friendship is going to get Frank evicted. Paul said he would punch Frank in the face if they were in the real world and he heard him making comments about the girls’ weight.
