Big Brother 18 Day 33
July 17, 2016
11:00-12:00 PM: Frank spoke to Zakiyah about people saying that he called Da’Vonne a slut. Bridgette had mentioned that she heard that last night. Frank denied that that happened. He also apologized to Zakiyah for hitting her on the butt a couple of weeks ago. He said he didn’t know that it made her uncomfortable. He explained that he does at home with his mom. Zakiyah said she knew it was all in fun. In the bedroom, Da’Vonne asked James and Zakiyah what if they send Tiffany home and the twist is that there is then a switch and Vanessa comes into the game in her place. James said he doubts that. They discussed that Vanessa would get sent right out anyway. Zakiyah then informed Da’Vonne about her talk with Frank. Da’Vonne said Frank looked right at the camera and called her a slut, so she cannot believe that he is acting like he didn’t say it. Da’Vonne then brought up how Frank was trying to prove that she is a bigger threat than Tiffany. Da’Vonne called Frank stupid for gunning so hard for her when she is one person and he said that five people betrayed his trust. Da’Vonne expects Corey, James, Michelle, Nicole and Zakiyah to vote Tiffany, meaning that Tiffany would be evicted. Outside, Frank told Paul about the Fatal Five alliance that Tiffany told him about last night. Frank said the other four girls may still be working together. Frank told Paul that he doesn’t mind keeping Tiffany around because she is by herself. Frank said Tiffany may think that she is with him but she is not. Frank went on to say that he would prefer to get Da’Vonne out. He figures that Da’Vonne would nominate he and Paulie. As for Tiffany, Frank said that she would likely nominate two of the girls, not Paulie. Frank let Paul know that he plans to nominate Da’Vonne if she is still in the house next week.
12:00-1:00 PM: Paul reported back to Paulie, telling him that Frank brought up a girls alliance to him. He said that Frank wants to get Da’Vonne out this week and then start picking off the girls. Paulie said they should get Tiffany out. Paul clarified he isn’t against that and was simply relaying what Frank had said. Paul said he is not worried about most of the girls but is worried about Tiffany. Paulie agreed. Paulie started to say that Da’Vonne may need to leave before Frank, but Paul said that Frank is full of it. Paulie then backtracked and said that Frank has got to go. Paulie suggested that it is possible for them to keep their cover with Frank even when they vote Tiffany out. As long as they have the votes to get her out, Paulie said that Paul could vote the other way. Paul brought up that Da’Vonne is sketchy. Paulie admitted that the reason they have been talking about getting her out soon is because Frank has put it in her head a ton of times that she has to come after he and Corey. Paulie said the last thing they need is another situation like Tiffany’s where Da’Vonne feels left out and teams up with the person that they are trying to get out of the house. Paul told Paulie that there must be a sliver of truth in what is being said since the only person whose name is being thrown around is Da’Vonne’s. Paulie thought that Frank was taking that angle since there were already questions about Da’Vonne before any of this.
1:00-2:00 PM: Frank told Bridgette that Zakiyah is denying having heard anything about him calling Da’Vonne a slut. Bridgette figured that Zakiyah had indeed heard about it. Frank said he would like to think that Da’Vonne isn’t evil and that she just mentioned him hitting the girls on the butt, which led to a game of telephone and somehow resulted in people saying that he called her a slut. Frank told Bridgette that he wants to get Da’Vonne out this week, then he wants one of them to win HoH so that they can nominate Nicole and Zakiyah. Frank said he would want Nicole to go. He wants to get Tiffany to throw HoH to them so that they can nominate Nicole. Meanwhile, Paul was outside speaking to Da’Vonne. Paul told Da’Vonne that Frank claimed that there is an all girls alliance and an eight person alliance. Paul and Da’Vonne agreed that Frank is petrified of Da’Vonne. Paul said that Frank keeps telling him that Tiffany is not a threat. Da’Vonne thinks that Frank wants her out of the house more than he wants to win the game. Paul asked what she did to Frank. Da’Vonne said nothing and that she was a fan of Frank’s. Da’Vonne told Paul that she noticed Frank didn’t start hardcore campaigning against her until they had the incident where he hit her on her butt. Paul said it’s because Frank is afraid. Frank asked Tiffany who the ringleader of the Fatal Five was. Tiffany said that she came up with the name but Da’Vonne started it. Frank said that’s good because he can explain that they will remain four strong with Da’Vonne as the leader. Frank then spoke to Paulie about how Tiffany is on the outside and is after the girls. Paulie questioned at what point Tiffany would then go back to the girls. Frank told Paulie that the girls will not listen to her. Frank said he is fine with getting Tiffany out next week if Da’Vonne leaves this week. Paulie said she could win HoH and has a better chance of doing so than Da’Vonne does. Frank told Paulie that Da’Vonne will nominate the two of them together. Paulie said they could go after Da’Vonne next week, if anything. He brought up that Bridgette said Tiffany is the one that approached her about the girls alliance. Frank said that was after Da’Vonne had already put the five together. Frank pointed out that Zakiyah has Da’Vonne in her ear, but she is someone he likes and would especially be able to trust if Da’Vonne is gone. Paulie said he is still gunning for Tiffany as of right now. Frank again told Paulie that Tiffany is not after him. Frank said that the girls will scatter if Da’Vonne leaves, just like the group scattered when Jozea left. The talk was then broken up. Paulie told Da’Vonne and Nicole that every conversation he has with Frank is about Da’Vonne. He said Frank wants Da’Vonne to go.
2:00-3:00 PM: Tiffany told Bridgette that she has a lot of information. She started to reveal it all, telling Bridgette that Da’Vonne made a Final 2 deal with her in the first couple of days. She discussed the Eight Pack’s formation, telling Bridgette that Da’Vonne started it. She then told Bridgette about the Fatal Five, which she said was started by Da’Vonne as well. Tiffany explained that she wanted to work with Paulie but Da’Vonne got paranoid about the two of them getting closer, so she planted seeds against her. Tiffany said that she was gathering information early on because she wanted to lay low. Tiffany brought up that Da’Vonne told her about the alliance that she has with Corey, Paulie, Nicole and Zakiyah. Tiffany said she plans to promise Paulie that she will be going against the girls from the Fatal Five since she is on the outs. Bridgette said Paulie needs to know that he was crossed by Da’Vonne and that she is playing both sides. Tiffany said she would like to nominate Nicole and a pawn, such as Michelle, if she wins HoH. She said that she likes Zakiyah the most out of the girls on that side because she is not catty.
3:00-4:00 PM: Tiffany spoke to Paulie. She said she has nothing to lose and therefore she will be beyond honest about everything. Tiffany swore that she had wanted to work with Paulie since they are siblings. Tiffany said Da’Vonne, Michelle and Nicole all told her that Paulie cannot be trusted. She added that Nicole nominated Paulie because she does not trust him. Tiffany said that Da’Vonne has been screwing her over ever since she thought that she had a Final 2 with Paulie. Tiffany said she made it clear that she doesn’t have a Final 2 with Paulie but it was too late because Da’Vonne had already told Frank that she was after him and told her that Frank was after her. Tiffany then let Paulie know that Da’Vonne relayed the exact conversation that he had with Zakiyah about forming an alliance with Da’Vonne, Nicole and Corey. Paulie denied ever having spoken to Zakiyah about forming a group. He said that he has been working with Frank all along. Tiffany then explained that Da’Vonne is the one who told her to put up Corey, assuring her that she has the votes to get him out. Paulie said Frank already knows that he has his suspicions about Da’Vonne. Tiffany assured Paulie that she will not target him. She said that she will be after the girls that did not have her back. Tiffany said Audrey warned her not to work with Da’Vonne but her sister told her she can probably trust her. Paulie asked why Frank and Tiffany don’t confront Da’Vonne. Tiffany said she will and that Da’Vonne’s game will be blown up. Before wrapping up the conversation, Tiffany reiterated that she is not after Paulie or those that he is connected to.
4:00-5:00 PM: Paulie told Corey that he doesn’t believe Tiffany. He said she is going this week but Da’Vonne has got to go because Tiffany confirmed so many things to him. Paulie said Tiffany told him word for word what he had said to Zakiyah which then went to Da’Vonne and then to Tiffany. Corey said Tiffany owes him so many favours and that he can get Tiffany to do whatever he wants. He said Tiffany wants to be his best friend. Paulie said he doesn’t want to have Tiffany on the block two weeks in a row and let her get by. Corey told Paulie that Tiffany is not coming after either of them. Paulie said he told Tiffany to call Da’Vonne out so that he can see how she reacts. Frank joined them. Corey said that everything Tiffany is saying is adding up. Paulie agreed. On the other hand, Corey said that what Da’Vonne is saying does not make much sense. Paulie admitted that he is not 100% set on the decision this week. Frank said that he would rather worry about three girls than four if the Fatal Five is still together aside from Tiffany. Paulie argued that Da’Vonne will not win a competition. Frank said she can have influence over the girls if she stays in the game. Corey told Paulie that Da’Vonne will come after them while Tiffany will likely go after the girls. Frank said that Tiffany may even throw the competition next week in order to let them make the moves that they want to make. Corey and Paulie agreed that they are fine with either Da’Vonne or Tiffany going, but Paulie said he is currently leaning towards getting Tiffany out.
5:00-6:00 PM: Frank asked Nicole if she will vote Da’Vonne out with him. Nicole said if he had the votes. She said she will probably do what Corey does. Nicole told Frank that she came into the house wanting to work with him but not she feels like she got crapped on and she is in a weird spot. Frank disagreed that she was crapped on. He said that he was with the vote and she has got to see where he is coming from. Frank told Nicole that he doesn’t hold a grudge. Nicole said she would love to work with Frank moving forward. Frank mentioned that the Eight Pack was really tight until Da’Vonne started things between he and Tiffany. Frank said that Da’Vonne’s biggest mistake was not voting Tiffany out because that allowed he and Tiffany a chance to compare notes. Frank suggested that Da’Vonne’s ability to get in people’s ear is what makes her dangerous. Nicole told Frank that she will vote Da’Vonne out if he has the votes. Frank said he thinks that he can get it done. Frank informed Nicole that a couple of people now know about their Final 2. He said he told Corey and Tiffany about it because he thought that she wasn’t on her side. Nicole asked Frank if he swears he has her back. Frank said 100%. Nicole told Frank that she has his back too.
6:00-7:00 PM: After Bridgette was overheard telling Frank that she has information for him, a number of people began to wonder how she got any information. It was speculated that Natalie could be a rat. Da’Vonne worried that Natalie spilled information that she gave to her last night when she was talking to her out at the hot tub. Paulie said Bridgette thinks that she is so damn slick. Paulie told Nicole, Paul and Zakiyah that Bridgette and Frank think all of the information about Da’Vonne is sinking in but Tiffany is still going to go. Paulie claimed to have told Tiffany that he wants her gone and will use the information that she gave him about Da’Vonne once she leaves. In the bedroom, Da’Vonne told Michelle and James that she is trying to figure out who gave information to Bridgette. James said it could be Paul since he is playing both sides. He threw Tiffany’s name out there as another possible option. As for Natalie, James said that she doesn’t have much information to give. Da’Vonne told James that she said a lot of things around Natalie last night and she is in trouble if that got back to Bridgette. James still didn’t think that Natalie had done anything.
7:00-8:00 PM: Da’Vonne told Nicole that Paul makes her nervous because he is really good at the back and forth game. Nicole said she trusts him right now. She pointed out that Paul tells them everything. Da’Vonne said that’s what worries her, because he could just as easily be telling the other side everything as well. In the bedroom, Frank spoke to Michelle about Da’Vonne. He said that Da’Vonne lied to he and Tiffany in order to turn them on each other. Frank said he knows about the Fatal Five. Michelle asked if that is the alliance that Paulie, Corey and Zakiyah are in. Frank said it’s the one that consists of all of the girls in the Eight Pack. Michelle continued to play dumb. She then said that she doesn’t want Tiffany in the house another week. Frank questioned why not since Tiffany is on her own. Michelle was irritated that Tiffany had called her evil. Michelle called Tiffany crazy, saying that her meltdown was scary. She then said that Tiffany is playing her sister’s game to a tee. Frank disagreed but admitted that she is emotional like her sister. They then talked about Bridgette. Frank encouraged Michelle to work with her. Michelle said she doesn’t trust her and knows that she is a mean girl outside of the house. Frank said that she is not. Michelle wasn’t buying it. Frank asked Michelle to roll with him if he gets the votes. Michelle said of course. After Frank left, Michelle called him a sucker. Out in the backyard, Corey said Da’Vonne is being shady. Nicole said she doesn’t know how to get her out of the house. Corey asked if she wants Da’Vonne out. Nicole said that she does but doesn’t know how to do it. She mentioned that Michelle is oblivious to a lot of things. She let Corey know that Frank is currently working on her and then she is supposed to talk to her about it afterwards.
8:00-9:00 PM: Frank told Bridgette that he had a talk with Michelle. Frank said he has to keep telling Michelle that he will take her further than Bridgette. Frank plans to stay close to Michelle so that she wont get so jealous. Bridgette said that Michelle is jealous of a lot of things, including that she doesn’t have body issues, she has a boyfriend waiting for her at home and she doesn’t cry about her family all the time. Frank said Michelle is annoying as hell and childish as hell, so he cannot wait to cut her. Bridgette brought up that Michelle is all about the live feeds and blogs, so she can’t wait for her to see what they post about her. Corey spoke to James about who he wants to leave this week. James wants Tiffany to go. Corey asked if Da’Vonne is the one that wanted to keep Tiffany the most last week. James said it was Michelle. Corey told James that he too wants Tiffany to go this week.
9:00-10:00 PM: Tiffany spoke to Nicole about Da’Vonne. Tiffany let Nicole know that it is no secret that she is nominating Da’Vonne. She said her mistake was not speaking up about everything she knew about Da’Vonne sooner. Tiffany said she was loyal to the five and to Da’Vonne all along, because she believed that she had a Final 2 with Da'Vonne. Nicole said Da’Vonne always made it seem as though they couldn’t tell Tiffany anything. Tiffany told Nicole that Da’Vonne told her not to talk to people. Nicole said she doesn’t get what Da’Vonne is doing. Tiffany said Da’Vonne told her that Frank and Nicole have a Final 2. They discussed that Da’Vonne was crying after Corey won the veto. Nicole took that as Da’Vonne having something to hide. She said it is all making sense now. Tiffany pointed out that the Eight Pack could still be together if not for Da’Vonne. She then said that Da’Vonne told her that Corey and Nicole were trying to get her out which is why she nominated Corey. Nicole asked if Da’Vonne knew that she was not going on the block. Tiffany said 100% because she knew that Corey was going up. Nicole told Tiffany that Da’Vonne had put on a show then. Tiffany let Nicole know that Da’Vonne wanted Corey to go so that she could get close to Nicole. By the end of the talk, Nicole said that she is furious about Da’Vonne.
10:00-11:00 PM: Michelle spoke to Corey about how she hopes that people are not buying into what Tiffany is saying. Corey explained that he has said certain things to Da’Vonne or Zakiyah that Tiffany has brought back to him using exact word for word quotes, so he knows that Tiffany is telling the truth. Corey brought up how it was suspicious that Da’Vonne was bawling when he won the veto even though it would make sense to think that Nicole would replace him on the block. He said Da’Vonne knew that his would all come out and that’s why she was so upset. Michelle said she does not want people to flip because that is what Frank wants and it would be playing Frank’s game. Michelle said she believes that Tiffany is making it up that there is an alliance between Da’Vonne, Corey, Nicole. Paulie and Zakiyah. Nicole joined them. Michelle was curious what she and Tiffany had been talking about. Nicole explained that she was hearing Tiffany out because she had not talked to her yet. She said she isn’t going to run away when Tiffany wants to talk. Michelle said that she would. Michelle worried that the vote would flip. Nicole said she is still voting Tiffany out. Michelle said Tiffany will be gunning for her if she stays and wins HoH. Corey and Nicole asked why Michelle is being so weird and getting so worried. She said that she wants Tiffany to go. Michelle asked if she seems sketchy. Corey admitted that she does. While Michelle brought up points as to why Tiffany needs to go, Corey constantly reassured her that Tiffany is indeed going.
11:00-12:00 AM: After Michelle left, Nicole said that Michelle trusts Da’Vonne way too much. She and Corey discussed that Michelle was freaking out. Nicole said everything that Tiffany told her made sense. She let Corey know that she wants to send Da’Vonne home so badly. Corey said that he is game. Nicole hoped that they could get everyone on board with keeping Tiffany. Corey figured that it would be good for their game if they were able to keep her. Nicole said she was getting pissed at Michelle because of how persistent she was. Corey agreed. Nicole brought up that Michelle reminds her of Christine and she cannot put her trust in her. Corey mentioned that Tiffany could be someone who can win another competition for them at some point. Nicole was concerned that Tiffany may try to throw the competition next week. Frank joined them and said that Tiffany is still on his radar but Da’Vonne is now at the top of the list after hearing what Tiffany had to say about her. Corey told Frank he thinks that Tiffany needs to go because he is worried that she would throw the competition. However, he said he would like to keep Tiffany because she could do work for them. Frank pointed out that Tiffany has no one while Da’Vonne can get in the ear of people like Michelle and Zakiyah. Frank said that he is willing to nominate Tiffany next week if she sticks around.
12:00-1:00 AM: Paulie told Corey and Michelle that he is not worried about Da’Vonne as long as they can take Tiffany out this week. He said he doesn’t believe the whole Fatal Five thing that Tiffany made up. Paulie hoped that they could get Tiffany out this week, followed by Frank or Bridgette and then Da’Vonne. Outside, Corey let Nicole know that Michelle was upstairs crying. Nicole said she is getting annoyed. Corey figured that there is something that Michelle has either done or said that she is worried about coming out, since she is convinced that she will be leaving if Tiffany stays. Nicole agreed.
