Big Brother 18 Day 42
July 26, 2016
9:00-10:00 AM: In the bathroom, Frank and Paulie discussed who might vote against Bridgette. Frank said he thinks Paulie could get Zakiyah on board. Paulie said Michelle would vote her out. Frank suggested that Victor is an option, while Paul and Corey may be as well. Paulie said he already told Frank that he will be voting Bridgette out. Frank said Victor and Zakiyah would probably listen to Paulie but he will talk to Victor. Frank asked Paulie to work on Paul for him. Paulie said he would talk to him about it. Paulie mentioned that Bridgette could have a breakdown. Frank said he would hate for her to go out like that. Victor joined them. Paulie said Bridgette is saying that she wants to go home so she could keep playing that up. Victor said they can send Bridgette home if she wants to go. Frank told them that she doesn’t know if Bridgette actually feels that way, but she has said she would feel alone without him. Victor said he is on board with either option.
10:00-11:00 AM: Paul informed Corey, Michelle and Nicole that Frank is campaigning against his little cabbage patch kid. Nicole asked if Frank wants to stay. Paul said oh yeah. Nicole said she didn’t know that. Paul also let Da’Vonne know that Frank has been campaigning. Paul told multiple people that he wants to call Frank out in front of Bridgette, so that she knows he is campaigning against her.
11:00-12:00 PM: In the bedroom, Da’Vonne told Zakiyah that she wants to talk to Paulie about Corey and Nicole but Paulie is way too close to Corey. She worried that it would get back to Corey. Zakiyah said Paulie is suspicious about Nicole after how she reacted to being called out during the HoH competition. Da’Vonne was also concerned about a potential vote flip to save Frank. She said she is trying to maintain the trio of Paul, Zakiyah and herself. Da’Vonne explained that Paul has all the tea and he will come to them if someone is trying to flip the votes to save Frank. Da’Vonne told Zakiyah that Frank has been saying that they should push that Bridgette is a bigger threat than he is if they can. Da’Vonne and Zakiyah then discussed Nicole. Zakiyah said Nicole has been acting really weird. They talked about Nicole questioning whether or not they should wake up Da’Vonne, Michelle and Paul yesterday when the clues appeared on the screen. Zakiyah said it shouldn’t have even been a question if they are supposed to be working together. Da’Vonne said Nicole has another agenda and her people were already awake. Da’Vonne later caught up with Michelle. She asked if anyone has approached her about flipping the vote. Michelle said no. She excitedly asked if it is an option. Da’Vonne said she hopes not. Michelle assured Da’Vonne that everyone wants Frank gone, though she heard from Paul that he has been campaigning. Da’Vonne told Michelle that they can have four easy weeks if everyone sticks to the plan. She listed off Frank, Bridgette, Victor and Natalie as the next four to go. After Michelle left, Da’Vonne spoke to the camera. She said she hopes that everyone sticks to the plan to get Frank and Bridgette out. After that, Da’Vonne said she will be coming for Nicole. If Bridgette wins HoH, Da’Vonne wants to get her to take Nicole out. Outside, Paul told Michelle that Frank is trying to work the angle that Bridgette is a bigger threat than he is and they should send her home if she is ready to go home. Michelle said Frank might be taking one for the team since Bridgette doesn’t want to go to jury. Paul wasn’t buying that. Paul said he wants to call Frank out in front of Bridgette. Michelle asked him to do it in order to make their last days awkward. Michelle said Bridgette thinks she is so self-righteous when she has seen her talking crap about multiple people. Michelle said she didn’t think that Paul would campaign. Paul said he told Michelle that he would. Paul said anyone would do it. Michelle agreed. Michelle admitted that she doesn’t want Frank to leave. She said she really likes him as a person. Paul agreed that he likes Frank more as a person but said he doesn’t like Frank for his game.
2:00-3:00 PM: Nicole and Paul chatted out by the pool. Nicole pointed out that they finally got Frank up on the block and now he has the chance to come right back. Paul blamed it on Natalie and Victor’s inability to keep quiet. Nicole said she is worried about Frank coming back but not about Bridgette coming back because she would no longer have Frank. Nicole said she is voting Frank out 100%. Paul said 200%. Nicole asked if the guys are going to pretend that they are keeping Frank. Paul said he is not and that he will tell Frank he doesn’t have his vote if he asks him about it. Nicole said she would do the same thing. They both agreed that they like Frank more but it is the smarter game move to vote him out. Nicole headed up to the HoH room. She and Zakiyah agreed that Bridgette wanting to go home gives them more reason to keep her since they can get her out next week. Zakiyah let Nicole know that Frank told her not to trust Nicole. Nicole said Frank is going to go home and feel like an idiot when he watches the show. Nicole thinks that Frank is worried about her because she reminds him of Britney since she said some of the same things to him that she did. Nicole also thought that Frank didn’t want to be the first returnee to go and therefore he wants another to leave. On top of that, Nicole said Frank has been accusing her of being the reason that Da’Vonne did not go home last week, which led to him going on the block this week. Zakiyah told Nicole that she trusts her, Michelle and Paulie the most out of anyone in the house. She added that she trusted Da’Vonne in the beginning. Nicole said she trusted her before and is trying to again.
3:00-4:00 PM: In the safari room, Paulie said “decisions, decisions”. Zakiyah asked what he is talking about. Paulie said Frank or Bridgette. Michelle said they all know what she wants, because she is set on getting Bridgette out. A short while later, the vote was discussed in the secret room. Michelle again said she wants Bridgette to go. Both Paul and Victor said Frank has to go. Da’Vonne joined them. Paul asked who she thinks has to go. Da’Vonne said Frank. She questioned why they are even having that conversation. James then joined them. Paul asked if he is voting Frank out. James said yeah. Michelle pointed out that James is HoH and he doesn’t have a vote. James said he would vote him out if it comes down to a tiebreaker. Back down in the safari room, Paulie told Victor that he thinks he will try to backdoor Da’Vonne if he wins HoH. He explained that he is not worried about Bridgette because he feels like she will like them.
6:00-7:00 PM: Victor and Paul had a quick chat in the storage room. Victor told Paul that Corey is scaring him. He admitted that he likes hanging out with Corey but said that Corey and Nicole are always attached at the hip. Victor suggested that those two would always pick each other over anybody else. Paul implied that all of the couples will have to be dealt with eventually. Victor said he is just airing out his thoughts to Paul so that he doesn’t have to keep it all in. He said the couples will be votes for each other and may even always use the veto on each other.
8:00-9:00 PM: Out in the hammock, Frank told Bridgette that she will have votes from Da’Vonne, Natalie, Nicole and Paul. Frank said he may be able to get Corey, Michelle and Paulie to vote for him. They said that leaves Victor and Zakiyah. Frank expects that he will go home. He told Bridgette it will likely be a 7-2 or 6-3 vote. Bridgette said she doesn’t care. She asked if that’s bad and if she should be doing something. Frank said he isn’t really doing anything. In the bedroom, Da’Vonne asked James if he trusts anyone else. James said no. Da’Vonne said she doesn’t either. Da’Vonne said Corey and Nicolle cannot win HoH. James asked why. Da’Vonne explained that she does not trust them. She said she thinks that Nicole has been gunning for her. She believes that Corey and Nicole were working with Bridgette and Frank. Should Bridgette win HoH, Da’Vonne said she thinks that James will go up next to her or next to Nicole. Da’Vonne assured James that he would have her vote over Nicole and Michelle. James said he thinks that they just have to make sure Bridgette and Victor don’t win HoH. Elsewhere, Frank told Paulie he doesn’t think that Paul will vote his way. Paulie said he hasn’t spoken to Paul but both he and Michelle will vote Bridgette out. Corey joined them. Paulie said he thinks that Frank has only three votes. Paulie suggested that the only other person they could get would be Victor if they have a fourth person. Frank mentioned Zakiyah’s name. Paulie said Da’Vonne is close with Zakiyah. Corey said Nicole told him she would vote where he does but she was not happy about what happened during the HoH competition. Corey said Frank would have to work things out with Nicole and could not do that again. Frank explained that it was done with the intent of getting Da’Vonne out. Frank told Paulie to talk to Zakiyah about it and then let him know if he should talk to her as well. Corey headed upstairs. He let James and Natalie know that Frank asked if he has any chance at getting the votes. James asked if he is campaigning. Corey said he just asked but they told him that the best case is he gets three votes. James said he wants Frank to go. Natalie said Bridgette will do what they want her to do once Frank is gone. Corey said he is worried about Da’Vonne because he keeps hearing that his name is coming out of her mouth. James said it may be because Corey is in a showmance and she has said that she is after the showmances. Corey told James that Da’Vonne instigated the whole thing by encouraging him to go talk to Nicole like that.
9:00-10:00 PM: Down in the London room, Da’Vonne told Paul and Paulie that Corey and Nicole have been trying to team up with Frank and Bridgette for the past two and a half weeks. Da’Vonne spoke about how Nicole didn’t know if she should wake them up when the clues showed up yesterday. She pointed out that Bridgette and Frank were already awake. Da’Vonne mentioned that Nicole’s reaction was “sketch” during the HoH competition when she got called out. Paulie said Zakiyah thought the same thing. Da’Vonne said Nicole rushed to talk to her immediately after the competition ended. She said she confronted Nicole about wanting to put her up and Nicole gave a crooked smile and turned red. Paulie said Frank keeps telling people not to trust Nicole, though he is also saying that Da’Vonne cannot be trusted. Up in the HoH room, Nicole insisted that Frank has got to go. She told Corey that she would not even switch her vote if she were to get offered $5,000 or $10,000 to do it. Nicole assumes that she is Frank’s target since he has been telling people not to trust her. She said it would scare the crap out of her if the votes flip. Nicole claimed that if Frank asks for her vote, she will tell Frank she is not voting for him when he has told her friends not to trust her. She also said she would tell him that never before has she wanted someone out this badly. She said don’t take her down just to take her down, because she got that done to her during BB16 and it’s bull crap. Elsewhere, Frank filled Michelle in on the vote situation. He said he needs her help with Zakiyah. Michelle said she would help out. Frank listed off Corey, Paulie and Victor as the other votes that he would need in order to stay.
10:00-11:00 PM: Michelle told James that Frank didn’t throw anyone under the bus he thinks he can get her vote along with votes from Corey, Paulie, Victor and Zakiyah. James asked if Michelle would keep him if those four said that they would. Michelle said she thinks she would. James said it will be an interesting week then. Michelle then backtracked by saying that it’s James’ HoH and she wont screw him over. James thanked her. Before heading to bed, Nicole asked Zakiyah if she is voting Frank out. Zakiyah said yeah. Up in the HoH room, Da’Vonne told James that she spoke with Paul and Paulie about Corey and Nicole. She explained that she let them know about the Corey, Nicole, Frank and Bridgette foursome. Da’Vonne gave James a heads up that they plan to talk to him about it and that she said she had not told James. Da’Vonne said the two guys have been suspicious of Corey and Nicole for a long time but didn’t want to say anything. Da’Vonne mentioned that Frank kept saying he talked Bridgette out of nominating Corey and Nicole. Da’Vonne questioned why those two weren’t upset about it. She figured that it’s because they were working together and that’s why Frank and Bridgette were able to throw their names out there. Da’Vonne admitted that the scary part about taking Nicole out is that there would only be two vets left. Da’Vonne asked if James trusts Nicole. He said that he trusts Natalie more.
11:00-12:00 AM: Paul informed Bridgette that he will be voting Frank out on Thursday. Paul asked if Bridgette cares if she goes home. Bridgette said she would love to stay but she is not going to campaign against Frank. Later, Frank asked Zakiyah if she will vote in his favour on Thursday. Zakiyah asked if he is being serious. Frank asked what the hell she thinks. She then asked if he and Bridgette decided that he is the one they want to stay. Frank said no one wants to go home. Zakiyah asked if Frank is campaigning. He said he is campaigning for himself, not against Bridgette. Zakiyah said she will have to think about it. In the backyard, Michelle asked Da’Vonne and James who she should use as a pawn next to Bridgette if she wins HoH. They suggested Victor. Michelle worried that he would get mad, win HoH and nominate her. She thought that nominating Paul would be a better idea. James said Paul wants Bridgette out so bad that he would probably be fine with it. If she nominated Bridgette and Paul, Michelle said she would nominate and target Victor if Bridgette were to win the PoV.
3:00-4:00 AM: Paul told Bridgette it’s no secret that he wants Frank out. He said most people agreed with him. Paul said Da’Vonne approached Paulie and asked “what is this about flipping votes?”. Da'Vonne, Paul and Paulie planned this conversation out, wanting to make Bridgette believe that the votes are turning against her because Frank is saying that she wants to go home. Paul told Bridgette that Paulie said Frank has been telling people that Bridgette is okay with going home. Bridgette said she does not want to go home. Bridgette told Paul the agreement was they were not going to campaign against each other because they are friends. Paul informed Bridgette that people are flipping the votes because Frank told people that she wants to go. Though what Paul said about the votes flipping was not true, Bridgette was upset and said “thanks Frank”. Paul told Bridgette he knows that Frank deserves to go first, which is why he is telling her all of this. Bridgette said Frank isn’t telling her this at all, rather telling her what to do once he is gone. Bridgette said she is really hurt. Paul said this is not strategy and he would say the same thing to Frank’s face if she wants. Paul then told Bridgette that he threw the veto to her because he wanted her to save Bronte. He explained that he knew he was safe. He said Frank then got in Bridgette’s ear and got her not to use it after putting Bronte on the block. Paul then said Frank slapped Da’Vonne’s ass and Zakiyah’s ass, and called them both sluts. Paul again said that the house is ready to vote her out because she said she wants to go home. Paul told Bridgette that she had better start making some smart moves before Frank does. Bridgette asked Paul if he can let Paulie know that she does not want to go home. Paul said yes. He said Frank will leave on Thursday as long as Bridgette takes the right steps. He told her to play the victim because she is the victim. Bridgette said she needs to talk to Da’Vonne because she will understand her. She also said she talks to Corey and Nicole. Paul asked why. Bridgette said they are the ones that Frank is throwing under the bus. Paul asked why. Bridgette said it seems that they are playing both sides. She confirmed that what Frank said during the HoH competition was true because she heard it herself. Paul asked what Corey has done. Bridgette said he hasn't done anything and he is just grouped in with her.
4:00-5:00 AM: Paul told Bridgette that Da’Vonne is a good person to trust, Paulie is a good person to trust and he hopes she can see that he is a good person to trust. Paul told Bridgette to toss Frank under the bus like she should, because Frank deserves it. Paul said it doesn’t make sense why Frank would be targeting Nicole and Corey if they were supposed to be working together. Bridgette said Frank thinks the other three vets are closer than people think. She let Paul know that Frank told her to nominate Nicole and James after originally telling her to nominate Nicole and Corey. Bridgette explained that Frank had a conversation with Corey and then came to her and said he thinks that she can trust Corey. After the talk wrapped up, Bridgette headed inside to talk to Da’Vonne, Paulie and Victor. Outside, Paul let Frank know that he cleared up a ton with Bridgette. He said he wanted to confirm that Bridgette actually does want to go home, but she told him that she doesn’t want to go home. Frank said nobody wants to go home. Paul said he was hearing that she wants to go home and doesn’t want to be in jury with the eight of them. Frank said he heard Paul is going to vote him out. Paul said that has been the plan even though he likes him more as a person. Frank said Bridgette has been his ride or die and he is not going to campaign against her. Paul said he heard that Frank said Bridgette is ready to go home. Frank denied having said that. He said he hopes that Paul didn’t tell Bridgette that because he did not say anything about Bridgette wanting to go home. Frank said part of him wants to go home before Bridgette since he feels bad for her being on the block because of him. However, Frank said he loves the game and wants to compete. He explained that he has been talking to people about looking out for Bridgette and working with her moving forward. Frank said he thought that he was going home for sure yesterday, then it seemed to be more up in the air today. He explained that’s the only reason why he is asking people about votes. Paul said he gets it.
5:00-6:00 AM: Frank told Paulie that Paul accused him of going around telling people that Bridgette wants to leave. Frank said he has not said that to anyone. Paulie admitted that he is the one that has been saying that. Paulie let Frank know that Bridgette thinks he has been campaigning against her. Paulie said it will make it ten times harder to keep Frank now. Frank said he is more concerned about Bridgette being upset. Frank said if he has to go home, he has to go home. Paulie told Frank that he will get Bridgette alone at some point to let her know that he was saying it because Frank is his boy and he had to try to get him the votes. Paulie said he thinks Nicole will vote Bridgette out if Corey decides to do it. Frank said the DR has been making him work for votes by making him feel like crap for not trying. Paulie said Frank’s conversation with Paul might make him feel a different way. Afterwards, Frank asked Bridgette what’s on her mind. She giggled and didn’t say anything. Frank told her to talk to him. She again just giggled. Frank said not to give him the silent treatment. Bridgette asked Frank to give her a second. Frank asked her to quit giggling cause it seems like it’s a nervous giggle. He asked her to talk to him because she is never like this with him. Frank said Bridgette is upset and he thinks it is unnecessarily so. Frank said Bridgette thinks that he is campaigning against her. Bridgette said “mhmm”. Frank assured Bridgette that he has not told anybody that Bridgette does not want to be there. He asked if Bridgette really thinks that he said that. Bridgette said yeah. She said everyone knew about it and she feels so silly. Frank said he asked two people about their votes, Nicole in a joking way and then Zakiyah. Frank said Zakiyah asked “does Bridgette not want to be here?” and he told her that they both want to be there. Frank let Bridgette know that Paulie admitted to say that Bridgette doesn’t want to be there, since he is trying to get Frank the votes. Frank said he has to at least ask Zakiyah what she is doing if it’s possible that she is the one vote that could keep him in the game. Frank said Paulie heard them both saying they want to go home, so he ran with it. Bridgette said she is upset. Frank said it’s unjustifiably so when she is his best friend in the house. Bridgette said she heard that Frank was pacing around after he found out what Paul had told her. Frank denied it. He said he is not worried about Bridgette because he feels as though she should know better. Bridgette said she is hurt. Frank said it’s not true. Bridgette told Frank they were saying they were convinced that Bridgette truly wanted to go home. Frank asked who said he genuinely tried to make it seem like she wanted to go home. Bridgette changed the topic and said Frank told her that he didn’t call Da’Vonne and Zakiyah a slut. Frank said his name has been getting dragged all summer and she is the one person he didn’t think he would have to explain himself to. Bridgette told Frank not to make her feel bad. Bridgette brought up that Paul said Frank is asking people to keep him. Frank said Paul is full of it, and he told Bridgette who he asked. Frank said he would look like a dickhead if he didn’t ask for votes but he has done nothing to say that she wants to go home.
6:00-7:00 AM: Bridgette and Frank continued to has things out. Frank reiterated that Bridgette is his ride or die. Bridgette admitted that she was upset about what she heard. Frank told her that she shouldn't be. Frank said he thought she was as loyal as he is. Bridgette said she was hurt and overwhelmed. Frank said she shouldn’t have trusted them. Frank said he wants Bridgette to trust him. Bridgette said she does.
