Big Brother 18 Day 30 - Bronte is evicted; Paulie wins HoH
July 14, 2016
1:00-2:00 PM: Nicole told Da’Vonne and James that they talked about keeping Tiffany last night. Nicole said that Paulie is okay with it. Nicole suggested making it a 5-4 vote so that everyone can deny it. James said vote Paul out. Michelle and Nicole said that they are voting Bronte out. Da’Vonne said that she is in for keeping Tiffany. James said he wont be throwing competitions anymore now that he is losing a team member. Nicole said that’s fine. Nicole told James that she will not nominate Natalie if she wins HoH. Nicole said she is still open to whatever but wanted to see what Da’Vonne and James think. Michelle and Nicole explained to James that Bridgette said Bronte is going to nominate Corey and Paulie. Michelle told James not to worry about teams. James said he doesn’t have any targets in front of him anymore, so Frank could throw up and he and Natalie. Da’Vonne and Michelle said that wouldn’t happen. Zakiyah joined them and said that Tiffany is not coming after them. James said Frank is going to know that half the house flipped on him. Nicole asked if they should make it a 5-4 vote. Zakiyah said she is fine with voting the other way to make it a 5-4 vote. Da’Vonne said that Paul cannot know what is going on. Nicole said two of them need to vote the other way because Frank and Natalie already will be. Nicole told James that he can vote Tiffany out if he wants. Da’Vonne said that it would make sense for Paulie to vote her out as well. Nicole suggested making it a 4-3-2 vote. Paulie joined them. They backtracked on making it 4-3-2 and said that they should make it 5-4. The plan is for Da’Vonne, Nicole, Michelle, Corey and Zakiyah to vote Bronte out. Paulie said that if you are confused who you are voting for, vote Bronte out. Paulie later told Corey about the plan to make it a 5-4 vote in order to confuse Frank. He told Corey that he needs to vote Bronte out. Da’Vonne worried that Paul would feel betrayed by them for not giving him a heads up. Paulie asked if he should let Paul know an hour before. Da’Vonne said yeah.
2:00-3:00 PM: Corey asked Da’Vonne who the votes to evict Bronte are. Da’Vonne said that it’s the two of them, Michelle, Nicole and Zakiyah. James worried that Natalie would lose trust in him because she may think that he lied to her since he told her that Bronte is safe. He considered telling Natalie an hour before and insisting that she not tell anyone. Corey told Nicole that he wants to vote Tiffany out because he has been talking crap this week and it would line up with what he has said. Nicole told him to switch with Paulie. She admitted that she too considered being one of those who volunteered to evict Tiffany so that she could swear to God that she didn’t keep Tiffany when she gets confronted about it. However, Nicole said she will not do it. Nicole said she will deny keeping Tiffany but will not swear to God since it would be a lie.
6:00-7:00 PM: During the live eviction episode, Bronte was evicted by a vote of 5-4-0. Tiffany received the other four votes. Paulie then went on to win HoH. Bridgette, Frank and Michelle are safe for the week because they are Paulie’s teammates.
7:00-8:00 PM: When the live feeds returned, Frank told Bridgette, Corey and Paulie that they should nominate Da’Vonne and Tiffany. Paulie said one of their teammates had to have flipped. Frank said Michelle. He said that he doesn’t think Nicole flipped. Frank then spoke to Tiffany about how she was coming after him. Tiffany said 100% she had never said that. Frank said tell that to Da’Vonne because she is the one who told him that Tiffany is after him. Da’Vonne overheard and said Frank told her that Bridgette is the one that said there is an all girls alliance. Frank said Da’Vonne is lying to everybody. Da’Vonne said she doesn’t even talk to Frank. Frank continued to speak to Tiffany. He said he did not say that he is after Tiffany until Da’Vonne told him that she is after him. Tiffany said Frank came hard after her for two weeks. Frank disagreed but admitted that he wanted Bridgette to nominate her for saying his name. Tiffany said Frank has been saying a lot of things to a lot of people so she doesn’t believe a word that he says. Da’Vonne brought up that Frank has been running around telling a lot of people to put her up. She asked if Frank wants to talk about that. Da’Vonne then said that she is not going home but he is. Da’Vonne also brought up that Frank nominated Bridgette the first week. Bridgette and Frank then spoke. They agreed that Corey and Nicole must have flipped. Frank asked Paulie if he voted Tiffany out. Paulie said yes and told Frank that he doesn’t want her there. Frank said Paulie wanted Tiffany there for a bit. Paulie told Frank to shut up and not question him about that. Frank then said he thinks the votes to evict Tiffany were Paulie, James, Natalie and himself. Frank asked if Paulie would nominate Da’Vonne. Paulie said he could nominate Da’Vonne next to Tiffany. He only committed to nominating Tiffany for sure. Da’Vonne interrupted and put her hand out for Frank to shake. She told him that it doesn’t have to be awkward between them. Frank said it’s the game. Paulie then let Da’Vonne know that he wants Tiffany out. He said that Frank wants him to nominate Da’Vonne but he plans to nominate Natalie instead. Da’Vonne said she expects to go up as the Roadkill nominee but she is trusting that people will vote Tiffany out. Paulie told Da’Vonne that Natalie can go if Tiffany wins the veto. Nicole asked Frank if he trusts her. Frank said he does. Nicole reiterated that she did not say anything to Da’Vonne. Frank said he didn’t think that she did. Nicole claimed that nobody has been telling her anything. She explained that she was feeling guilty about getting Tiffany out all week, and Corey clearly wanted her out. Frank revealed that he wants Da’Vonne out over Tiffany. Frank asked if Nicole thinks that James voted Bronte out. Nicole said she has no idea. Frank asked for Nicole’s read on Paulie. Nicole said she would be shocked if he flipped. Frank said that unless Nicole is BSing him, the votes were Corey, Paulie, Nicole and himself. Nicole said that would make sense. Frank assured Nicole that he has never once used her name. He admitted to using Corey’s name and Paulie’s name. Nicole told Frank that she has been trying to deflect targets off of him for a while now, so she doesn’t want her name getting thrown around. Nicole called Frank the best competitor in Big Brother history and said that she wants him on her side.
8:00-9:00 PM: James told Da’Vonne that he knew they should have voted Paul out. He said they are going to look back at this in the end and realize that he was right. Da’Vonne said she cannot believe that Tiffany walked up to Frank and said what she did. James compared it to what Vanessa did last season. Da’Vonne let James know that the plan is to nominate Natalie. However, she explained that Tiffany is the target. Paulie joined them. He reassured James that Tiffany is the target 100%. Paulie said he just needs to win one more competition in order to secure that Tiffany remains on the block, then the others have to win next week to get Frank and Bridgette out. Da’Vonne then pulled Frank aside to talk. She asked Frank when he started coming for her. She insisted that she didn’t say anything to anybody and thought that they had a Final 2. Frank told Da’Vonne that he got a weird feeling about her and had been trying to talk to her but he had that feeling. Da’Vonne said the whole house divided them, two powerhouses, and it worked. Frank asked Da’Vonne who voted Bronte out. Da’Vonne said she doesn’t know. Da’Vonne claimed to have voted Tiffany out. Da’Vonne said she would tell Frank who the votes were in a couple of days when they are friends again. She said they will need to trust each other moving forward. Frank let Da’Vonne know that both James and Nicole approached him about going after her this week. Da’Vonne said people were trying to divide the house because they are both threats. Meanwhile, Paulie spoke to Natalie about going on the block next to Tiffany. He made it clear that Tiffany is the target. He told Natalie that she will be making it to jury.
9:00-10:00 PM: Da’Vonne told Corey, Paulie and the girls that she approached Frank to tell him that they need to work together. Paulie asked Corey what game she is trying to play. The girls told Da’Vonne that it was a smart move. After his chat with Da’Vonne, Frank spoke to Corey and Paulie. Frank said that even Da’Vonne claims to have voted Tiffany out. Paulie said he definitely wants Tiffany out this week. Frank told Corey and Paulie that it’s fine if they voted Tiffany out. He admitted that their names got used but said it was for strategic purposes. Paulie listed off all of the reasons why he wants Tiffany to go and why he tried to get her out last week. Paulie believes that she will come after him. Corey said she wont win anything. Frank said he is more worried about Da’Vonne than Tiffany because Da’Vonne is lying to his face with a smile on her face. Paulie said Tiffany is lying when claiming that she was never after Frank. Frank thought it was possible that Tiffany did not come after him until Da’Vonne told her that he was after her. Paulie argued that Tiffany staying is bad because she could try to rally the girls again. They discussed that a girl needs to go this week. Frank suggested nominating Da’Vonne, Tiffany and Zakiyah. He wanted to take away the votes that those girls would have by nominating them next to each other. Though Frank is against Da’Vonne, he told Paulie that he will vote Tiffany out if that’s what they want. After Frank left, Paulie told Paul that he still plans to nominate Natalie even though Frank was trying to suggest otherwise.
10:00-11:00 PM: Corey told Nicole that he doesn’t get why everyone is freaking out. He believes that everything worked out well. Corey said that Da’Vonne needs to go because she is up to some shady stuff. Corey pointed out that Frank said Da’Vonne was lying straight to his face. Tiffany joined them. Nicole and Corey suggested that Tiffany not associate with Bridgette and Frank. Nicole brought up that Da’Vonne heard something that Tiffany was saying. Tiffany insisted that Bridgette was interrogating her and there were no deals made. Tiffany said that she doesn’t trust Da’Vonne. Nicole said she knows but things have gotten back to Da’Vonne. Tiffany claimed to have said in the DR that she only has her team on her side. She said that she will do what they want her to do. In the safari room, Frank told Bridgette that Nicole wants to make a four person alliance with the two of them and Corey. Both agreed that they would be on board to do that. Frank said their best move is to hope that Corey and Nicole are being legit because they are screwed either way if not. They went through the votes. Frank thinks that James and Natalie voted Bronte out. Bridgette said Natalie was all about wanting a girl to win so she is shocked that Natalie would do that. Back in the have-not room, Corey told Paulie that they can send Tiffany home but she is not coming after them. Paulie said it’s only a matter of time before she does. Paulie called Tiffany and schemer and pointed out that Vanessa won competitions at the end. Corey said Tiffany wont do anything. However, he and Nicole said that they would be on board with getting Tiffany out.
11:00-12:00 AM: Frank spoke to Nicole about solidifying something like she had asked about earlier. Frank said he hasn’t done anything to cross her so it makes him believe that Nicole would not cross him either. Nicole said exactly. She said she would love to work together moving forward. Frank admitted to throwing Da’Vonne’s name out there but said he did not throw James’ out there as well. Frank assumed that Michelle flipped and told Da’Vonne what he had said. Nicole said she knew that the four returnees working together would end up not working out. Nicole asked if Da’Vonne ever said to nominate her and James. Frank said no. Nicole then asked about what Tiffany said to both he and Bridgette. Frank said the only thing that Tiffany told him was that she was not coming after him. Nicole mentioned that a rumour has been circulating that Tiffany spoke to Bridgette, Paul and Frank and claimed that “they made me do it” in reference to her going after Frank. Frank said it’s untrue. Nicole let Frank know that everyone is upset with Tiffany because of the rumour and that’s going to make it impossible to get Da’Vonne out at this point. Nicole figure that Paul is the one lying. Frank thinks that Da’Vonne made Paul spread the lie. Frank said he doesn’t trust Da’Vonne or Tiffany and doesn’t care which one goes.
1:00-2:00 AM: Bridgette questioned Natalie about the vote. Natalie asked why she would go against Team Unicorn and her best friend. Natalie said she knows who flipped and who didn’t flip. Natalie said Frank, Paulie, James and herself are the ones that voted to evict Tiffany. Natalie said she is a little insulted that Bridgette would think that she would flip on Bronte. Bridgette admitted that she doesn’t know what happened. Bridgette said Natalie hasn’t look her in the eye all night. Natalie said she has been sad. Natalie told Bridgette that she keeps her word in everything that she does. Natalie went to James to explain what Bridgette said. James said Bridgette did the same thing with him. James figured that she is fishing for information to bring back to Frank. Natalie said she doesn’t trust Bridgette at all. She called Bridgette a good actress. Not long after, Tiffany pulled Natalie aside. She brought her into the have-not room. Tiffany was crying. She told Natalie that she has no one in this game. Tiffany said she wished that they had been in the same alliance from the start but Bridgette messed it up. Tiffany explained that people kept her to get at Frank, not because they like her. She told Natalie that people said she was safe all week but the decision wasn’t even made until 2 AM last night. Tiffany said the girls she is aligned with were supposed to be her girls like Bronte was Natalie’s girl. Tiffany said they constantly whisper about her and walk out of the room when she enters. Tiffany said she wants to self evict. Natalie told Tiffany that she is there for her and that they can talk whenever she wants. Tiffany was upset that her allies have been questioning her about making deals with Bridgette when she is not even talking to Bridgette. Tiffany said she doesn’t know if it’s the fact that people think she is her sister, but she doesn’t think that she is playing like her sister at all. Natalie continued to reassure Tiffany that she will be there for her whenever she needs and she will not use it against her. Tiffany told Natalie that she is expecting to go on the block tomorrow. She said that she will blow everyone’s games up if that happens.
2:00-3:00 AM: Tiffany pulled Frank aside to ask for the truth about what happened with Da’Vonne. Frank said it went down exactly as he told her. Tiffany said she actually believes it. Frank revealed that it sounds like they are trying to send her home again this week. Tiffany wasn’t surprised. She told Frank that they should have worked together from the start. Tiffany said she is making a deal with the devil. Tiffany said she is going to blow up some games. Frank said let’s do it. Tiffany told Frank that Corey and Paulie want him out badly and they were behind it the whole time. Frank asked who voted Tiffany out. She said that nobody would tell her but they were all in on it. Tiffany told Frank that every single one of them want him out. Da’Vonne saw Frank and Tiffany talking. She headed up to the HoH room to tell Paul, Paulie, Corey, Nicole, Zakiyah and Michelle. Tiffany told Frank that Corey, Nicole, Paulie and Zakiyah are together. Frank asked if that means he can’t trust Nicole. Tiffany said he can’t trust any of them. Frank told Tiffany that he will 100% use the veto on her if he were to win. Frank said they need to win the Roadkill tomorrow. Frank originally said it sounds like he needs to put Corey up but then he changed his mind and said that they need to nominate Da’Vonne. Tiffany asked why Frank was so against her. Frank said it was because of what Da’Vonne told him. Frank tried to figure out the votes. Tiffany said it doesn’t matter because everyone was in on the plan.
3:00-4:00 AM: Nicole checked in with Tiffany. Tiffany questioned what’s wrong, cause something is clearly bothering Nicole. Nicole said that she saw Tiffany with Frank and she knows that they don’t get along. Tiffany sarcastically said “oh okay” and told Nicole that everything is okay. Nicole then left to tell Da’Vonne, Michelle and Zakiyah that Tiffany is really mad at her. Da’Vonne then spoke to Tiffany about what’s wrong. Tiffany was not giving direct answers, which led to Da’Vonne telling her to be direct with her. Tiffany questioned how many direct conversations they have had and how much info Da’Vonne has told her when they have a Final 2 together. Tiffany told Da’Vonne that she did the same thing to her sister with the whole made up girls alliance. Da’Vonne asked Tiffany to fill her in on what she has heard. Tiffany said she is not going to because Da’Vonne doesn’t fill her in on anything that a Final 2 would. Elsewhere, Frank told Bridgette that everyone hates him and they are about to have to work with Tiffany. Back in the safari room, Zakiyah questioned if Frank and Bridgette are now Tiffany’s buddies. Tiffany said that nobody is because she is a free agent. Tiffany told Da’Vonne and Zakiyah that the way they treat her is disgusting. Tiffany was crying. Da’Vonne and Zakiyah were laughing and smirking at her. Tiffany told Da’Vonne revealed specific information to her that she remembers telling Da’Vonne. Tiffany said Da’Vonne has been caught in so many lies at this point. Da’Vonne said Tiffany knows better than to listen to what Frank says. Tiffany called Da’Vonne a really good actress. Da’Vonne said Frank is public enemy #1 and he tried to attach himself to a powerhouse like Tiffany. Da’Vonne told Tiffany that she has to get it together. She said that people are going to shun Tiffany now. Tiffany said they already have been for two weeks. Tiffany said it doesn’t matter anymore and she is ready to be picked off. Da’Vonne said the one thing that she doesn’t want Tiffany to do is attach herself to Frank. Nicole and Zakiyah returned. Tiffany said every single person in the house has been playing her. Tiffany told them that they could have used her instead of not talking to her out of fear that she is emotional, only to have her reach her breaking point and blow up everybody’s games. Corey, Nicole, Da’Vonne, Zakiyah and Paul attempted to talk Tiffany down and make her believe that Frank is getting exactly what he wants out of this by removing the target off of his back.
