Big Brother 18 Day 36 - Votes are discussed
July 20, 2016
11:00-12:00 PM: Tiffany headed into the safari room to talk to the live feeders. She said she wanted to tell everybody exactly what has been going on over the past few weeks with Da’Vonne. She figured that people may have missed some things since the feeds weren’t on for the first week. Tiffany said Da’Vonne approached her about a Final 2 on Day 2. Tiffany explained that she thought Da’Vonne would have her back since her sister had told her that Final 2s are a big deal and you don’t just make them with anyone. Tiffany said clearly Da’Vonne doesn’t know how to play the game based on everything that has come out. Big Brother then asked the houseguests to report to the HoH bedroom, ending Tiffany’s talk to the feeders.
1:00-2:00 PM: After the HoH lockdown, Da’Vonne spoke to Nicole. Da’Vonne said she can feel the distance between the two of them. Da’Vonne told Nicole that she is a fan of the show and wanted to come to Nicole to make sure that she is good for tomorrow. Nicole said yeah. She told Da’Vonne that she doesn’t think there is distance. Nicole admitted that she didn’t think Da’Vonne ever believed her that they were good because of Corey. Da’Vonne said she doesn’t think of it over and over in her head that she has to be careful of Corey and Nicole. Da’Vonne said she thought that the two of them were building a friendship but then Nicole went to Zakiyah. Da’Vonne said she is still there if Nicole ever needs her. Nicole said she doesn’t want Da’Vonne to feel that way, because it’s not like she is gravitating towards anyone else. Nicole said people come to her, she doesn’t go to them. Nicole told Da’Vonne that she wants to squash things and get back to where they were. Da’Vonne agreed. Da’Vonne said she didn’t want Nicole to look at her as the Christine. Nicole said she hopes there isn’t one those people on this season. Nicole headed up to the HoH room to talk to Zakiyah. Nicole told Zakiyah about her talk with Da’Vonne. She said that Da’Vonne puts targets on their backs. Zakiyah told Nicole that Da’Vonne hinted to Michelle that they need to be concerned about Paulie and Zakiyah. Nicole said she knows that Da’Vonne doesn’t like Corey. Nicole admitted that she gravitates towards Zakiyah. Zakiyah thought that Da’Vonne was staring at Nicole during the HoH lockdown in order to pick up on her body language. Zakiyah said Da’Vonne has been acting weird towards her so Nicole doesn’t have to worry about her telling Da’Vonne what she said. Nicole told Zakiyah that Da’Vonne is definitely a threat to them. Zakiyah said Michelle told her that Da’Vonne told her about the five but she didn’t believe it. Nicole said it’s not cool that Da’Vonne would tell people about the alliance. Nicole said she knows that Da’Vonne is going to go to the other side. Zakiyah said she feels it too. Nicole brought up that Da’Vonne made a Final 2 with Tiffany behind their backs. Nicole said Da’Vonne probably had Final 2 deals with the two of them, Tiffany, Frank and James.
2:00-3:00 PM: Nicole told Corey that she doesn’t want to win HoH tomorrow but she wants to be safe. She figured that Da’Vonne would want her to go after Frank and Frank would want her to go after Da’Vonne. Corey said he would likely nominate Da’Vonne and Bridgette. Nicole thinks that Da’Vonne is more of a threat to them than Frank is. She said that she wants to get Da’Vonne out more but thinks that it would be smarter to get Frank out first. On the other hand, she said that keeping Frank in the house is leaving a big target in the game for everyone to go after. Nicole brought up that Tiffany would be able to stay if she were to blow up on Da’Vonne in front of everyone. Nicole said that if it is done in front of everyone, they can deny what Da’Vonne is saying and point out her lies.
3:00-4:00 PM: Nicole told Frank she thinks that the only way for Tiffany to stay is to blow up on Da’Vonne and expose information in front of everyone. Frank wasn’t so sure about that. He told Nicole that Da’Vonne has to go eventually so it’s best to do it now since they are in trouble if she goes to jury and finds out that they were behind it. Nicole told Frank that it was Da’Vonne’s idea to get him out. Frank said he knows that. Nicole said Da’Vonne does not have her back. Frank assured Nicole that he has her back and has Corey’s back as well. Frank told Nicole that Tiffany said she would do whatever he wants if he is able to get her to stay. He believes her. Nicole said she doesn’t think that Da’Vonne is going anywhere as of right now. Nicole told Frank that he may have to gather everyone together if he wants it to happen. She was not confident that James would be on board. Frank said Paul is 100% on board, meaning that they have five votes even without James. Nicole worried that the others would be mad if that were to happen. Nicole assured Frank that she wants Da’Vonne out this week, but she didn’t want to make the move unless it was smart for her game. She pointed out that Michelle will be so mad. Frank said that Michelle would go after Natalie and Tiffany if she wins. Frank believes that the best case scenario would be for Tiffany to win HoH so that she can go after Michelle and Zakiyah. Frank told Nicole that they would then not have to worry about making that move themselves. Nicole said she will talk to James today but she worries that James is closer to Da’Vonne than they think. Nicole figures that they have a Final 2 and that anything she says to James will get back to Da’Vonne. Frank disagreed. Nicole reiterated that she wants Da’Vonne out but said she wants to make sure that they have the votes. In the have-not room, James asked Paulie if he thinks that anyone else will come after the couples. Paulie said Da’Vonne will and Frank probably will too. Paulie thought that Frank would go after Natalie so that he could reel James in. Paulie said Da’Vonne is likely going to make a deal with Frank if they can’t get Frank out next week. They discussed that the three showmances working together could work out well for them. Paul’s name was also discussed as someone who they can bring in.
5:00-6:00 PM: Tiffany checked in with Corey about tomorrow’s vote. Corey admitted that some people are wanting he and Nicole to vote Tiffany out. However, he said that Tiffany is his teammate and he is leaning towards voting Da’Vonne out because he knows that Da’Vonne doesn’t want him there. Corey said it will be 4-4 of they vote along with Bridgette and Frank to keep her, so she will need to work on getting Paulie’s vote. Corey explained that Paulie is worried about Tiffany coming after him. Corey suggested that she swear she is not coming after him and that she is going after the girls. Corey said that Paulie is also concerned about Tiffany telling people that there is a guys alliance called “The Advancemen”. Tiffany said she doesn’t know what that is. It was actually Michelle that made up that alliance name to pin it on Tiffany. Corey reiterated that he is down to get Da’Vonne out but he has to be sure that they have the votes. Corey told Tiffany to talk to Paulie in order to make him feel comfortable with keeping her. Tiffany said she will be loyal to those who keep her. Tiffany said Da’Vonne is there to make big moves and she will nominate Paulie if she stays. Corey told Tiffany to tell Paulie that her HoH will be Paulie’s HoH and that she will put up whoever he wants her to. Corey headed up to the HoH room to campaign for Tiffany to Paulie. Corey pointed out that if it’s 4-4 it will be Michelle, James, Paul and Zakiyah on one side, so it comes down to who Paulie wants to work with. Corey said Tiffany is swearing that she will go after the girls. Paulie said he doesn’t believe it because he watched her sister go after the guys. Corey said he trusts that Tiffany would do what she says. Frank said Tiffany told him that she would do what he wants if he gets her the votes. Corey said that Tiffany is telling him the same thing. Frank told Paulie that Tiffany is not her sister and she is not as strategic as he thinks she is. Paulie said it would be easier to get on board with keeping Tiffany if he weren’t the one that had nominated Tiffany and rattled her before the veto competition. Frank said they don’t have anyone to rope in Da’Vonne but he and Bridgette can rope in Tiffany for the time being. Paulie kept saying that Da’Vonne is not going to win a competition. Frank said that she hasn’t won one yet but she continually starts stuff by getting in people’s ears. Paulie said he believes Tiffany would come after him no matter what she says because Vanessa said whatever she had to to stay. Frank said Tiffany is not Vanessa and that they just look and sound the same. Frank told Paulie that the important thing he said is “when Tiffany gets dangerous” because Da’Vonne is the one that is already dangerous. Paulie said the girls are already on to Da’Vonne. Corey said she will nominate the guys just to prove that she is not after the girls. Paulie asked Frank if he would go after Tiffany if she is still there next week. Frank said he would and he would get Bridgette to nominate her as well. Paulie said Tiffany would still put him up. Corey and Frank said that she would not. Frank said that Michelle and Zakiyah would go up. Paulie said he doesn’t want the vote to come down to a tiebreaker. Frank said he doesn’t think that it will as long as Paulie gives the okay to send Da’Vonne home. In the event of a tie, Paulie said he is unsure of which way he would vote right now.
6:00-7:00 PM: After Frank left the HoH room, Paul headed up there and said that Tiffany has got to go because she is a number for Frank. Nicole let Paul know that Da’Vonne has been saying that she thinks he is playing both sides and running back to Frank with information just like he is doing with them. Nicole pleaded with Paul not to say anything to Da’Vonne about it because she would then know who it came from. Paulie brought up that he has been hearing more and more about Da’Vonne dropping his name and Corey’s name. He said it is not just coming from Frank and Tiffany at this point. They discussed that Da’Vonne spoke about the overwhelming power upstairs. Paulie thinks there is an equal chance of Da’Vonne and Tiffany coming after he and Corey. Paulie mentioned that nobody is ever going to want to work with Tiffany. He said he thinks that Da’Vonne would work with Frank. Corey and Nicole both agreed. Paulie let the group know that Frank claims he will nominate Tiffany next week if they take Da’Vonne out this week. Both Paul and Nicole said that they don’t believe that.
8:00-9:00 PM: Frank told Nicole that he thinks they can make it a 7-1 vote toe evict Da’Vonne. Nicole said she will work on it tonight. They discussed working together as part of a four person group with Corey and Bridgette moving forward. Frank then went to Tiffany to tell her that Corey is on board and therefore he thinks that Nicole will be on board. Tiffany said they just need to get Paulie then. Up in the HoH room, Paulie told Corey that he isn’t too concerned about Da’Vonne swaying the jury for a girl because he isn’t planning on going to the end with a girl anyway. Paulie told Corey that James came up to him and said that Da’Vonne told him they need to break up the couples. Paulie said that he in particular was mentioned as the target. Since James came to him with that information, Paulie felt that there was no chance that Da’Vonne would get in James’ ear. If anything, he figured that she would have him go after Frank and Bridgette. Paulie told Corey that James and Natalie will not be coming after them if they win. He figured that Da’Vonne would not come after them at this point either. As for Tiffany, Paulie believes that she is saying she wont come after them just because it’s what Frank is telling her to say.
9:00-10:00 PM: Tiffany checked in with Nicole. She assured Nicole that she has told her everything. Nicole said she appreciates it and believes her 100% because it all makes too much sense not to. Nicole said she plans to talk to some people tonight to see what they are doing because she would love to keep her. Nicole asked if Tiffany had already talked to everybody. Tiffany said Frank and Bridgette are on board so she only needs one more vote if she has Corey and Nicole. Nicole asked Tiffany if she would throw the HoH competition if she stays. Tiffany said she would do whatever they want her to do. Nicole said she doesn’t want Tiffany to throw it but fears that she would throw it to Frank’s team. Tiffany said she is fine with being HoH because it’s time to get her hands dirty. Tiffany brought up that Da’Vonne had said “he is next” in reference to Paulie when she told her about the five person alliance. Tiffany explained that Da’Vonne was saying that Paulie and Zakiyah have gotten too close. Nicole told Tiffany that Da’Vonne is claiming that Tiffany heard about the alliance by overhearing a conversation. Tiffany said that’s a lie. Nicole said the alliance isn’t even real and that Da’Vonne made it up to put a target on the back of the showmances. Tiffany said she feels hurt by Michelle. Nicole asked if Tiffany has talked to Michelle. Tiffany said no because she is afraid that Michelle will go talk crap afterwards. Nicole suggested that Tiffany should talk to Michelle seeing as they are both hurt.
10:00-11:00 PM: Paulie spoke to James about the vote. He said that Tiffany has got to go even though Da’Vonne will throw them under the bus. Paulie said that Frank can go after Da’Vonne next week if they get rid of Tiffany this week. However, Paulie thinks that they will be able to get either Bridgette or Frank out next week. Paulie discussed the pitch that Frank made for keeping Tiffany in the game. Paulie said Tiffany would definitely go after him even though she is saying that she wouldn’t. Should Frank leave next week, Paulie said that he would then be on board with nominating Da’Vonne as his target.
12:00-1:00 AM: Corey told James that Da’Vonne hasn’t even talked to him yet which is weird. He didn’t understand why she hasn’t even tried to deny that she brought his name up. On the other hand, Corey said at least Tiffany is trying and wants to work with him. Nicole and James spoke about the vote. Nicole asked if James is on board with voting either way. James said he is. Nicole pointed out that Da’Vonne is putting targets on the couples. James said that can be controlled because she doesn’t win competitions. Nicole agreed but said that Tiffany would be grateful and do what they want if they save her. Nicole mentioned that she could see Da’Vonne and Frank aligning. James said Da’Vonne won win anything. He then brought up that Tiffany already fooled them once. Nicole said they can just get rid of her then so that they don’t make the same mistake. James added that it would cripple Frank by taking someone out from his side. Nicole headed downstairs to talk to Corey. She let him know that James is leaning towards evicting Tiffany. Corey didn’t want to let Da’Vonne get to jury. Nicole said they would be upsetting Michelle and Zakiyah. She also told Corey that she wants to respect the wishes of Paulie as the HoH. Nicole said she is on board with saving Tiffany but she wants Michelle, Paulie and Zakiyah to be on board as well. They then headed back upstairs to talk to James. After discussing the same points as before, they agreed that Tiffany should go. Corey said he is fine with that but he wants Da’Vonne out in the next two weeks. Nicole said she doesn’t want to blindside Tiffany. They discussed telling her an hour before the eviction. Nicole then let Frank know that they don’t have the numbers because James is not on board. Nicole said she doesn’t want to make Paulie mad either. Frank figured that Paulie would be fine with keeping Tiffany as long as he nominates her next week. Nicole said James’ argument is that Da’Vonne has never won a competition. Frank argued that she can influence people and that they don’t want her in jury. Frank said he will be on the block alongside Corey or Paulie if Da’Vonne wins HoH. Nicole said she wants Frank to be okay with them if it doesn’t work out. Frank said he would be pissed off if Da’Vonne wins HoH and nominates him. Nicole was sure that Da’Vonne would not win, so she told Frank he could come after her if she nominates him. Frank reiterated that letting Da’Vonne get to jury can be their biggest mistake.
1:00-2:00 AM: James told Frank that he doesn’t want to go against the house. He said that he will be doing whatever the house wants. Frank said Corey and Nicole are feeling as though James isn’t on board with keeping Tiffany. James admitted that he doesn’t want to piss Paulie off. Frank pointed out that people went against Bridgette’s wishes last week when she was in power. James said they need five votes. Frank told him that they will have five as long as he lets Nicole know that he is on board with the plan. Frank assured James that Tiffany would go after the girls on the other side, particularly Michelle and Zakiyah, if she happened to win HoH next week. In the have-not room, Tiffany swore to Paulie that she would not be gunning after him if she were to stay. Tiffany said her HoH could be Paulie’s HoH if he breaks the tie for her. Paulie said he wouldn’t want to take away the HoH from her. Tiffany explained that she has wanted to work with Paulie since the beginning, so he would be fine with him staying in the HoH room with her and making the decision with her as well. Paulie said he would consider sending Da’Vonne home if it comes down to a tie. Tiffany said she thinks that Nicole wants Paulie’s blessing to vote in her favour. Paulie implied that he would be fine with the vote going either way. After talking to Tiffany, Paulie spoke to James. James wanted to know which way people are voting. Paulie said they are voting to evict Tiffany. Paulie said he will be voting to evict Tiffany if it comes down to a tie. Paulie told James that he isn’t worrying about Da’Vonne swaying the jury against the guys because he isn’t planning on taking a female to the end. Paul joined them and reassured James that he plans to vote Tiffany out tomorrow. James said he is going to do the same.
2:00-3:00 AM: Frank told Tiffany that James, Corey and Nicole are worried that if it’s a 4-4 or 5-3 vote then the people that voted the other way will be mad. Tiffany said she will have to try to stay positive. Frank said that Paulie was a bit more on the fence today. He said they need Paulie to give James and Nicole the okay. Tiffany said she is leaving it up to Frank at this point because she has talked to people. Tiffany told Frank that she tried her best even if it doesn’t work out. Frank agreed. Frank said Corey is on board but both James and Nicole are being timid.
