Big Brother 18 Day 29 - A plan to save Tiffany is made

July 13, 2016

12:00-1:00 PM: Michelle and Natalie discussed that they are nervous for Thursday even though they are not on the block. The two discussed past events and houseguests such as Jozea. Michelle brought up things that she heard people had said during Jozea’s time in the house, such as that Bridgette and Paul said they wished she had died when she passed out. Shen then said Bridgette apparently said she would resuscitate her and then shave her eyebrows off. Natalie was surprised and asked if Michelle is kidding. Michelle said that’s what she has heard but she is over it now and figures that part of it was exaggerated. The two agreed that they would like to see James go far in the game. Natalie said he is a good guy and that she really gravitated towards him from the start. Michelle said James is the reason that Bronte keeps going up as a pawn, because he wont let Natalie go on the block. Natalie said she doesn’t want James to ruin his game for her. Michelle said that he is not doing that at all.

1:00-2:00 PM: Bridgette spoke out loud about her thoughts in the HoH room. She said Natalie is so emotional and hard to handle. Bridgette said Frank wants Michelle to win HoH next week but she would rather Bronte or Natalie get it so that she can push him to take Paulie out. She said that if they are going for Da’Vonne or Paulie next week, she would rather get Paulie out because Da'Vonne is not coming after her. Bridgette figured that Da’Vonne would go straight after Frank but he would not go anywhere. She said Frank is safe because everyone feels like they need him. Bridgette admitted that she feels like she needs Frank and doesn’t know how he does it. Bridgette said Paulie should go first, then Da’Vonne, then they are in jury. Bridgette wasn’t sure that Natalie would be able to stick around for too much longer after that because she is too emotional. After Paulie and Da’Vonne, Bridgette said that James and Natalie should go.

2:00-3:00 PM: Zakiyah asked what she missed. Paulie said he doesn’t really know what was being spoken about before he woke up last night. Nicole said she doesn’t even really know besides that Frank needs to get the hell out of there. Nicole said Frank is going after Da’Vonne and is trying to get Michelle on board. She said that Frank told Michelle that she and Corey are on board with it. Nicole said everything that happened stemmed from that. Paulie said that Bridgette, Bronte and Natalie want to get him out. Paulie said something that came up that he likes is that James said there is no reason to backdoor Frank and that they should just nominate him next to Bridgette. Paulie said they should do it. Nicole said that is kind of how she feels too because then one of them is for sure staying on the block. Nicole then ran off to Corey because she said that she has not got to speak with him about everything. She said that Paulie is explaining everything to Zakiyah so she had to go because she doesn’t want to be asked questions about what happened last night. Corey said he thinks that Frank genuinely wants to work with them. Nicole agreed and said it would have been good had he not screwed it up last night. Nicole asked if Corey wants Frank gone. Corey said if Frank genuinely trusts them like he thinks he does, then no. Corey worried that Frank would throw them under the bus but said he is good. Nicole said Frank would save them if he needed to. Corey agreed, saying that he would especially do it if they tell him that the whole house is after him.

3:00-4:00 PM: Nicole told Corey they could have been solid with Paulie and Zakiyah and then with Bridgette and Frank on the other side but she doesn’t know what to do about Frank now that he ran his mouth when she specifically told him not to. Corey asked if Nicole still trusts Michelle. Nicole said that she used to trust Michelle 100% but now it’s only 80%. She said that she didn’t know Michelle and Da’Vonne were so close. Nicole figures that Da’Vonne must be Michelle’s number one. She told Corey that Michelle wasn’t going to tell her what Frank said but she walked in on it. Nicole pointed out that Frank trusted Michelle to tell her that information and you need to embrace it when Frank trusts you, but Michelle ran back to Da’Vonne with the information instead. They then discussed James and Natalie. They didn’t like that James was unhappy about the idea of Natalie going up as a pawn. Nicole said she doesn’t get how he is so wrapped up in it. Nicole said that she wont rag on James cause he may think that Natalie is the love of his life, but she thinks that it is silly. Corey said that he is unsure of whether or not they should try to win HoH tomorrow. He figured that there would be numerous targets in front of them, such as Frank, Bronte, Bridgette, Natalie and Da’Vonne. Nicole agreed that their chances of going home next week are minimal. Corey said they can go out there, have fun and if they win then they win. Paulie joined them. He discussed that James had thrown it out there that they should nominate Bridgette and Frank next to each other. Paulie is on board with it. Corey said it makes sense to nominate them next to each other in order to guarantee that one of them goes home. Paulie said that Bridgette is way too comfortable and thinks that she is slick.

4:00-5:00 PM: Da’Vonne and Frank spoke in the kitchen. Frank said Corey and Nicole are close but he doesn’t think that they are dangerously close. Da’Vonne said not yet. Frank thinks that Nicole will pick them over Corey. Da’Vonne said she hopes so. Frank then brought up that Bridgette is someone who is trustworthy and can help them. He said that Bridgette is fine with Bronte and Natalie going as long as she doesn’t have to make the move and as long as they get to jury. Da’Vonne asked Frank who the target will be if his team wins HoH. Frank said Corey. Frank asked who Da’Vonne would want to target first between Bronte and Natalie. Da’Vonne said Natalie because that way they can get James back. Frank agreed. Frank said that Bronte winning wouldn’t be the worst thing because she will go after Corey and Paulie for them. He said they want Paulie out because they think that he won the Road Kill. Da’Vonne then went to Nicole to tell her that Frank said he thinks that Bronte should win HoH because she is going to nominate Corey and Paulie. Da’Vonne said she wishes that Tiffany would stop rubbing everyone the wrong way because they could keep her over Bronte. Da’Vonne told Nicole that she doesn’t want to stick her neck out for Tiffany. Nicole said that she would vote for her but that’s it. Da’Vonne said they don’t have the votes anyway. Corey joined them. Da’Vonne told him that he is apparently now the target because Frank wants to be able to pull Nicole back in to the group with the returnees.

5:00-6:00 PM: James had spoke to Da’Vonne earlier and said that he would talk to Frank in order to fish for information and get him to say that he wants Da’Vonne out. James spoke to Frank about thinking that it may not be best to take out a strong male this week. He said he is thinking a vet may be better. Frank was excited to hear that and said he knows that James is not thinking Nicole. James said no. Frank asked if James feels bad about Da’Vonne, cause he does too but was worried that James wouldn’t be on board. Frank said that Da’Vonne told him that she is there to play and it scares him. James said that Da’Vonne is someone who you can throw straight up because she is unlikely to win the veto. They discussed their options for who they can have win HoH. Frank said that they need to get Paul to throw it. Frank thought that Bronte and Natalie would nominate two girls if they were to win. Frank figured that they would want to target Paulie because they think that Paulie won the Road Kill. James said he wants his team to win HoH but he would not want to give it to Bronte or Natalie. Frank suggested that it may be best to give it to Michelle. Meanwhile, Corey and Nicole chatted in the have-not room. Nicole said that Da’Vonne has got to go. Nicole told Corey that Michelle is Team Day all day. Nicole figured that the two of them, Bridgette and Frank are the only ones who would nominate Da’Vonne. Corey said that she is bad news. Nicole said she has felt it for a while. Nicole mentioned that Da’Vonne feels like the fifth wheel. Nicole pointed out that she trusts Corey, Paulie and Zakiyah so much but Zakiyah and Da’Vonne are too close. Nicole said that she wants to secretly make a big move. She told Corey that if Paul nominates Frank, she is winning Road Kill, putting Da’Vonne up and sending her home. Nicole said the way that Da’Vonne presents information sketches her out.

6:00-7:00 PM: In the bathroom, Michelle asked Da’Vonne and Zakiyah if they trust Paul as HoH. Da’Vonne said that she is going to try to win it. Zakiyah said she will suggest that Da’Vonne take it if they win. Da’Vonne brought up that Paul said Frank asked him to throw the competition. Da’Vonne said Paul figured that it was so that Da’Vonne could be nominated. They discussed that Frank has got to go and then Bridgette has to follow him out the door. Paulie came by and said that it will be sweet when Frank and Bridgette are on the block together. Da’Vonne let Paulie know that Frank is saying he wants Bronte to win HoH in order to go after Corey and Paulie. Later on, Frank filled Corey in on his conversation with James. He said that James is on board with going after Da’Vonne. Frank was surprised and figured that James would have been upset had they made that move. Frank reiterated that either his team or Corey’s team needs to win HoH so that they can get Da’Vonne out of the house.

7:00-8:00 PM: Feeds went down. The houseguests were shown images that they needed to study for tomorrow’s HoH competition. Corey told Paulie that they need to talk because there may be a change of plans. He threw Da’Vonne’s name out there. Paulie asked if he means to give her HoH. Corey said no. He explained that Da’Vonne wants the two of them out next. Corey said he heard that from Frank but Da’Vonne and Frank have been telling him completely different things. Da’Vonne and Tiffany then broke up the talk.

8:00-9:00 PM: Nicole told Frank that Da’Vonne said something to Corey about Frank being after him. Frank said he figured that. Frank let Nicole know that James approached him about going after Da’Vonne. Nicole found that to be sketchy. Frank disagreed. Nicole assured Frank that her allegiance is with him and that Corey trusts him as well. She said that if Frank says something, she trusts that it is done to hide things and not to put a target on her back. Upstairs, Corey told Michelle that Da’Vonne wants to get Paulie out to get him away from Zakiyah. He said it’s shady that she wanted to win HoH so badly. Michelle said she doesn’t think that Da'Vonne would do that. Corey and Michelle discussed that the group should have stuck to the plan and got the targets out that they said they would rather than turn on each other. Corey asked if Da’Vonne brings up going after him. Michelle said no and told Corey that Da’Vonne wants Frank and Bridgette out. Corey questioned why they are keeping Bronte this week. Michelle said to ask Paulie. Corey said he doesn’t get it. Michelle said they have the votes to keep Tiffany and she will always remain a big target. She also said that Tiffany will go after Frank. Michelle suggested that they could all just say they were throwing Tiffany a sympathy vote and didn’t think that anyone else would. Corey didn’t think that would work but he asked who else would vote Bronte out other than Michelle, Nicole and himself. Michelle said that Da’Vonne and James would be on board as well. Michelle told Corey that Bronte will throw Corey and Paulie on the block together in order to ensure that one of them goes. As for Tiffany, Michelle said that she is after Frank, Bridgette and Natalie, so she would not nominate them. Michelle mentioned that Tiffany can go after those girls are gone. She said that she is willing to be the one to take her out. Corey then asked if Michelle is on Frank’s side or Da’Vonne’s side. He questioned who she trusts more. Michelle said probably Da’Vonne. Corey worried that Da’Vonne doesn’t trust him. Michelle said that she shares a bedroom with Da’Vonne, so they talk a lot and Da’Vonne has never brought up his name. Michelle said that Frank has been trying to turn her on Da’Vonne as well, saying things like she will nominate her which she doesn’t believe to be true.

9:00-10:00 PM: Michelle and Nicole discussed that it makes no sense to send Tiffany home. Michelle said that they have the votes to keep her. Paulie joined them. Michelle asked if he still wants Tiffany out. He said that he has been thinking about what to do. Nicole said Tiffany may be able to win this HoH competition. Michelle said that Tiffany would for sure go after Frank. Michelle reminded Paulie that Bronte is coming after him. Paulie said he knows but he is not scared of her winning a competition. Paulie worried that Tiffany would turn on them once she finds out that they were going to vote her out. Nicole said Tiffany would owe them and will not be mad at them. Michelle told Paulie that they have the votes with or without him. Paulie eventually gave in and said that sending Bronte home would give them another person to go after Frank. Corey joined them and said that he wants to keep Tiffany. Paulie said he would talk to Zakiyah to get her on board with being the fifth vote. Zakiyah made her way in and said that she is on board with whatever they want to do. Corey said they are keeping Tiffany. Paulie said that they cannot let anyone else know. He said Bronte will be going home tomorrow 100% because the five votes they need are in the room. They discussed nominating Frank and Bridgette next to each other if they win HoH tomorrow.

10:00-11:00 PM: Nicole went to Tiffany and told her that she is going to be fine. She said that there are five solid votes for her to stay. Tiffany thanked Nicole. Corey and Nicole spoke in the have-not room about how it would have been dumb to send someone home who is on their team and who would not nominate them. Corey said they cannot tell anybody about the plan. Nicole assumed that Michelle would tell Da’Vonne. Paulie entered the room and asked what Corey was trying to say about Da’Vonne earlier. Corey said just that she told him that Bronte wants to go after them. Paulie said he thought that Corey was saying Da’Vonne is after them. Corey explained that Da’Vonne and Frank keep telling him different things. Paulie said Da’Vonne is likely going to take a shot at them eventually. Nicole said she feels like the fifth wheel. Corey said Frank is scared to death and will need them. They discussed that Frank can be used to help them get Da’Vonne and Tiffany out of the house. Nicole wasn’t sure that they would have the votes to get Da’Vonne out. Paulie thought that he could get Zakiyah on board. They said that they need to stay close to Tiffany in order to be closer to her than Da’Vonne is. Tiffany entered the room. Paulie told her that Frank thinks she is 100% gone, so the look on his face is going to be priceless. Tiffany said she will make her speech epic now that she knows he thinks that she is leaving. Paulie encouraged her to say that she is going after Frank, Bridgette and Natalie. Tiffany said that she will do it.

11:00-12:00 AM: Nicole told Tiffany that they can have a long talk tomorrow and she will answer her questions once she is safe. Nicole told Tiffany that she was never voting her out since she is on her team. Tiffany said she wasn’t worried about that. Elsewhere, Da’Vonne said that she feels bad for Tiffany. James said that Tiffany didn’t really have a fighting chance. Da’Vonne admitted that she almost cried while recording her goodbye message. Both were not told about the plan to keep Tiffany. Paul spoke to Frank about who he is fine with having win HoH. Frank said he wants someone from his team or Nicole’s team to win if possible. Frank said he would like to take it if it comes down to the two of them. Frank said he knows one person who he would put up and it’s not Paul, Bronte or Natalie. Paul said he is on board with the plan. Frank told Paul to take HoH over Da’Vonne and Zakiyah if it comes down to them. Paul then went straight to Da’Vonne, Paulie and Zakiyah to tell them exactly what Frank had said. Paul said he will put Frank and Bridgette on the block if he wins HoH.
