Big Brother 18 Day 43
July 27, 2016
2:00-3:00 PM: Natalie told James she is getting nervous that they will be targeted for being so close. James thought that the other two couples would be targeted before them. Natalie asked who would put them up. James said other people. Natalie said she would have to put Bridgette up if she wins HoH, since Bridgette is after the one person that she trusts. Natalie said Michelle is someone who has always been there for her since the beginning, including whenever she is sad. Natalie told James that Michelle told her she was going up as a pawn and not to be scared. Natalie also said she is the one that is always there for Michelle. Natalie brought up that Bridgette didn’t care to make amends with girls. She said you need girls to like you in this game, since they can be catty and not like someone just because one girl doesn’t you. Natalie said Bridgette didn’t even try to talk to Michelle or fix things with her. James said the first thing he does is try to establish a relationship with the girls. Natalie wondered if she would be put on the block as a pawn next to Bridgette next week. James said no. He told her that Paul or Victor are the likely choices to go on the block. Natalie asked who Da’Vonne would nominate. James said she might put up Bridgette or whoever the house wants, otherwise she may put up people who she secretly doesn’t like. Natalie told James that she has a soft spot for James and Da’Vonne since they have kids. James told Natalie that Da’Vonne will not nominate her. Natalie brought up that Nicole is playing dirty and that Corey is doing whatever Nicole does. As for Bridgette, Natalie said she never really trusted her but Bronte liked her. Natalie told James that after making amends with Bridgette, Zakiyah said she is still not cool with her. James said it was done for game purposes. James thought that he might be safe if Bridgette wins HoH, since there are so many girls that Bridgette had to make amends with. James said he can’t see Bridgette sending him home over someone like Michelle. Natalie told James that she wants him to have a real talk with Bridgette in case she wins HoH. Natalie said everyone else in the house is being fake with Bridgette, to a point where Bridgette believes that Paulie and Corey are going to work with her. Natalie is unsure of where Bridgette stands now that Paul told her everything last night. James said he could possibly go to Bridgette in order to warn her to watch her back since Frank has been campaigning against her. He thought she may then think that he has her back. Natalie didn’t want James to be Bridgette’s target just because he is the only one not being fake with her. James said it’s messed up that he is taking the heat for doing what the house wanted.
3:00-4:00 PM: Da’Vonne told James that she, Paul and Paulie came up with a plan last night to confront Frank about campaigning against Bridgette. James said he heard that it happened last night. He said Natalie told him. Da’Vonne said while Paul told Bridgette everything, Frank was talking to Paulie. Da’Vonne said both Bridgette and Frank said the same thing that Corey didn’t know about the plan and it was Nicole running to Frank saying that she and Corey want to work with Bridgette and Frank. Da’Vonne told James that people are gunning for Nicole now. She said Zakiyah was mad since had a friendship with Nicole, while Paul and Paulie felt played by her. Da’Vonne said the plan is to get Bridgette out, then they let Victor take out Nicole before they send Victor home. James figured that Natalie would be next. Da’Vonne said she will try to prevent that. Da’Vonne said Bridgette was apparently pissed off but then she saw Frank and Bridgette laying outside together this morning, watching the sunrise. James said Bridgette didn’t care about anything she heard. Da’Vonne told James that Tiffany told Bridgette about Michelle, Zakiyah and herself talking badly about her. She said she wondered why Nicole’s name was left out, then she found out that Bridgette asked Nicole about it and Nicole confirmed it. James said he thought Nicole was a sweet little girl. Da’Vonne said she thought the same thing but Nicole is sure playing differently. James said there will be a strong team if Frank returns. Da’Vonne disagreed, saying that Nicole did something to Frank since Frank keeps telling people not to trust her. Da’Vonne said Bridgette is apparently going to nominate Nicole and Victor. She said Paul cleared all of their names.
5:00-6:00 PM: Frank told Bridgette that it pisses him off how they tried to hurt her feelings by making it seem like he was campaigning really hard. Frank thought that if they didn’t hear him say anything, they shouldn’t be saying it to Bridgette. He thought that it was done just to upset her. Frank told Bridgette that he is tired of talking about the tickets in the diary room. He said he doesn’t want to get his hopes up. Based on the questions that the DR has been asking him, Frank thinks that the whole house is against he and Bridgette. Paulie told Corey that Da’Vonne is putting a wedge between the two of them. He said that’s how he knows that Da’Vonne needs to go. Paulie said he and Paul compared notes on their talks with Frank and Bridgette. Paulie said they concluded that Da’Vonne is blaming things on Corey for no reason. Corey said he wants to call her out for it. Paulie told him to just put her on the block and send her home. Paulie said he would let Corey and James know whenever their name comes up. Paulie told Corey that Frank said he would nominate James and Nicole, while Bridgette said she would nominate Corey and Nicole. Paulie suggested that it may be best to get Bridgette out before Da’Vonne because of that. Paul joined them. Paulie said apparently frank is going to call someone out today and tell them to eat sh*t and die. Frank had told Bridgette he was going to say that to Paul. Corey overheard it. Paul said at least he will be eating it in the Big Brother house as opposed to at home like Frank will be.
7:00-8:00 PM: Frank spoke to Nicole about what happened last night. He said Paulie has been campaigning for him and telling people that Bridgette wants to go because he was in the room while the two of them had a conversation. Frank said people made it seem that he was the one saying Bridgette wants to go. He said it was a case of hurting Bridgette’s feelings for no reason. Frank explained that he cannot campaign against Bridgette but he can ask people which way they are voting. Nicole said she gets it. Frank asked if Nicole is voting him out. She said that she doesn’t know what she is doing. Frank said he would appreciate if she would help him out, otherwise if she would help Bridgette out next week. Nicole said she can only assume that she will be Bridgette’s target if Frank keeps saying things about her. Frank said that’s not necessarily the case. Nicole said it would be very silly to go after her. Frank said he thinks that Corey wants to keep him. Nicole said Corey can do what he wants. Frank told Nicole that he only thinks he has Corey, Paulie and Michelle wanting to keep him. Frank said Nicole kind of wants him to stay. She said “kind of” is the key word. She explained that she could probably get Frank to stay but she knows that Frank would win and put her up. Frank said he would not be able to do that if he kept her. Nicole said Frank keeps assuming she is a this snake that is doing things that she isn’t doing. Frank told her that Da’Vonne has been planting seeds about her. Nicole asked if Frank would put her on the block. Frank swore he wouldn’t and said he would work with Corey and Nicole until the end. Frank said he only trusts Corey, Nicole, Paulie and Michelle. Nicole said Da’Vonne would need to go ASAP if Frank stays. Frank said he would nominate Da’Vonne and James but would not want James to go. Nicole again said she thinks that it would backfire if she kept him. Frank assured Nicole that it wont. James then broke up their talk.
8:00-9:00 PM: In the storage room, Nicole told Corey that she will nominate Bridgette and Da’Vonne if she wins HoH. Corey said they could nominate Da’Vonne and Victor. Nicole said it will be a terrible day if Bridgette or Da’Vonne win HoH tomorrow. Nicole quickly told Corey about her talk with Frank. She said he claims that he will go to the end with the two of them. Nicole said she doesn’t believe it and thinks that he would put her up. Nicole said she wants Da’Vonne out even more than she wants Bridgette or Frank out. Nicole wondered if it’s a good idea to tell Da’Vonne everything that she knows. She said she would like to call her out on some stuff. Nicole mentioned making a deal with Bridgette if she wins HoH, telling her that she will not nominate her at all if Bridgette will do the same for her the following week. Up in the HoH room, Da’Vonne, James and Paul talked about Corey and Nicole. Paul brought up that Corey questioned why the heat is on them and not on Da’Vonne. Da’Vonne didn’t get why the heat should be on any of them if they are working together. James said Nicole is playing the innocent card, saying that she doesn’t know what is going on. James said Corey feels bad. Da’Vonne said Corey and Nicole cannot win HoH this week. Paul asked why Corey hasn’t come to them to let them know about the conversation that Frank and Nicole had. Da’Vonne had seen Corey and Nicole talking in the storage room following it. Da’Vonne said it’s because Corey is a part of it. James said he hopes that Paulie is smart enough not to fall for their crap. Paul said Paulie is smart but he likes Corey a lot. They discussed that Bridgette may go after James. Da’Vonne said she is fine with getting Bridgette out next then, but Nicole has to go right after. She said Victor could go as well, but Paul told her that Victor is a number for their side for the time being. Paul questioned why Corey and Nicole are paranoid when they know that either Bridgette or Frank are going home. He brought up that about six people, including Frank, told him that Frank and Nicole had a Final 2 yet Nicole denies it. Paul said Nicole doesn’t trust the team enough and she has to make deals with the enemy, then she gets caught and overreacts. Da’Vonne expects that Corey and Nicole will put the heat on her.
9:00-10:00 PM: James, Natalie and Paulie spoke in the HoH room. They discussed that Frank needs to go. Paulie said Frank came to him to flip the votes. James said he figured that Frank would. Paulie explained that it’s best to clip things before they grow. Paulie said nothing is growing with Bridgette but Frank can grow a lot of things if he sticks around. James brought up that Bridgette was able to last 5.5 hours in the HoH competition even with an injured ankle. They discussed that she performed well in the veto competition too. Paulie feels that Bridgette will lay low and play the feel sorry for me card for as long as she needs to, until someone picks her up. He told James and Natalie that you have to kill wounded animals when they are wounded. He suggested taking Bridgette out next week. After Paulie left, Natalie told James that she doesn’t trust Nicole. James called her a snake in the grass. Natalie pointed out that Nicole doesn’t have the balls to say something to someone’s face, only doing it behind their backs. James said he kind of wants to put Nicole on the block. Natalie asked James if he is going to let her get plucked off and move forward with his guy alliance. James said no and told Natalie that he will try to push her to the end. James claimed that he would pluck people off once they start talking about doing the same to Natalie.
10:00-11:00 PM: Zakiyah told Da’Vonne that Paulie put his leg on Nicole’s leg and then she started scratching his hair. Zakiyah said that is disrespectful where she comes from. Zakiyah then told Michelle that she is petty as hell but she is territorial. She told Michelle that Paulie needs to know that he cannot be doing stuff like that in the real world. Zakiyah said she will play dirty, finding something cute to wear to bed with Victor tonight. Zakiyah asked Victor if she can sleep in his bed. Victor said he wanted to check with Paulie that it is okay. Zakiyah said it shouldn’t matter since Paulie is not her boyfriend. Nicole asked Zakiyah if Paulie did something wrong. Zakiyah said not exactly but she is going to teach him a lesson. Minutes later, Nicole asked if Zakiyah is mad that she was playing with Paulie’s hair. Zakiyah said she is mad at Paulie, not Nicole. Nicole said it’s her fault that Zakiyah is mad since she touched Paulie’s hair. Zakiyah blamed it on Paulie, saying she will give him some of his own medicine tonight. She said Paulie is going to be sleeping by himself since he is doing things to her on purpose, such as letting Natalie touch his hand and rub his leg. Nicole said she will not touch Paulie with a ten foot pole at this point. Zakiyah told Nicole that she can keep acting how she has been. Nicole said she feels really bad because none of her friends have ever gotten mad at her for something like that before.
11:00-12:00 AM: Victor told Corey and Paulie about Zakiyah asking him if she can sleep in his bed. Victor told Zakiyah she can have his bed and he will sleep in hers. Paulie didn’t understand how Zakiyah would think he would date her on the outside when she is acting like this inside of the house. Nicole joined them. Paulie said Zakiyah asked Victor if she can sleep in his bed because she is mad that Natalie wanted to do his nails. Paulie then went to Natalie to tell her about what happened. He said he doesn’t care how hot someone is, cause that wont fly with him. Paulie said he is done because Zakiyah has been playing these games with him for two weeks now. Natalie asked if this is happening because she offered to file his nails. Paulie said that’s the only reason he could see. Paulie told Corey and James about what happened as well. Natalie asked if she is doing anything wrong. Nicole said no and told her that she would not even bring it up. Natalie said she will not because she is not a drama person. Michelle told Natalie not to feel bad. Paulie told Corey that he needs to tell Nicole not to talk to Zakiyah if she wants to say anything about Da’Vonne. He explained that Da’Vonne and Zakiyah have something going on and it will get back to Da’Vonne. Not long after, Corey asked Nicole if she trusts Zakiyah. Nicole said she doesn’t really anymore now that she is mad at her. Corey said it’s weird that Zakiyah is mad at Nicole. Nicole clarified that Zakiyah said she isn’t mad but she is sure that she is deep down. Nicole called it the worst jealousy that she has seen in her life. Nicole told Corey that Zakiyah doesn’t even want her to tap Paulie on the shoulder, so she said that she will keep a 10 foot radius. Nicole checked in with Zakiyah, asking if she is okay. Zakiyah said she is mad because she walked into the room and Paulie didn’t say a word to her. Nicole figured that Paulie had caught on to what Zakiyah was doing after she asked Victor to sleep in his bed. Zakiyah said Paulie needs to speak up if he caught on. Bridgette asked if Paulie did something mean. Zakiyah said no, he did what he does naturally. She said she tried to one up him and it blew up in her face. Zakiyah said she guesses that they can remain good friends but she can’t imagine how things would work in real life if he were to be like that.
12:00-1:00 AM: Corey told Paulie that he needs to talk Nicole because she is in trouble with Zakiyah for playing with his hair. He mentioned the 10 foot radius. Elsewhere, Nicole told Zakiyah she wants to talk things over because she is stressed about it. Zakiyah assured Nicole that she is mad at Paulie and not at her. Nicole said she will stay far away from him. Zakiyah said it’s going to be strictly business from now on, since she didn’t come there for a guy anyway. Paul and Paulie met up for a “PP” talk. Paul said Corey and Nicole are sketchy but Victor is on their side. They then discussed the Zakiyah situation. Paul said it’s best for Paulie to keep Zakiyah on his side. Paulie informed Paul that Corey said Zakiyah asked Nicole not to come within a 10 foot radius of him. Paulie thinks that the girls are all playing games with them. He explained that Nicole is doing it with Corey, Zakiyah is doing it with him and Da’Vonne is encouraging it. Paul said he didn’t bother with a showmance because of all of this. Paulie said he doesn’t care either and that Zakiyah is the one pushing it. They then discussed Corey and Nicole. Paulie said he is 100% sure that Nicole approached Bridgette and Frank about working together. Paul questioned why Corey wouldn’t have told the guys that. They didn’t believe that he wouldn’t know when he is around her 24/7. Paul wondered if they should put Corey and Nicole on the block together. They agreed that Victor would be the person to have do that. Paul said Victor mentioned nominating Da’Vonne and Nicole together but they could they could have him nominate Da’Vonne if Corey or Nicole comes down. Paul brought up that Victor wanted a Final 3 with them and will never come after them. Paulie said they have to eliminate threats before they come so Da’Vonne and Nicole have got to go. Paul mentioned getting Nicole out first, though Paulie said Da’Vonne has to go. The guys discussed that they don’t have to win HoH tomorrow. If they do, Paul thought it would be best to target Bridgette to keep their word to James. He wasn’t sure that he would be able to nominate Da’Vonne. Paul said Michelle is a loose cannon. Paulie suggested that all of the girls are. He said they need to get rid of them all. Da’Vonne joined them. Paulie said now that the information they gave Corey got back to Nicole, that will be the last information that they share with him. Paulie went on to say that Corey and Nicole never say a word about what they are doing, saying that they will just do what the house wants. Paul let Da’Vonne know that Victor is on board with going after Corey and Nicole. Paulie suggested letting Victor win HoH. Da’Vonne told Paulie to be careful with the girls because Zakiyah is going to go off the deep end and join the other side if things continue as they are. Da’Vonne was asked if she could talk to Zakiyah about things to clear it up. Da’Vonne said Zakiyah wont listen to her because “blonde ass” is doing the same thing. She mentioned that Nicole got pissed off about Corey being in her bed. Da’Vonne said that “blondie” has started to make her ass itch. Paul said blondie is blowing it and has got to go fast. Da’Vonne agreed. Elsewhere, Michelle popped in the safari room where Frank and Bridgette were talking. She told Bridgette that Frank didn’t say anything bad about her to her. She said Frank told her that Bridgette wants to stay but doesn’t want to be alone. Bridgette and Michelle hugged. Frank said he assumes that he is going home. Michelle said she is going to be honest, it looks like he is going home. Frank said he expected that so no worries. After Michelle left, Frank said somebody is happy. Bridgette asked if he means her. Frank said she now gets to stay. Bridgette said she is happy that Michelle just hugged her. Frank suggested that Bridgette nominate Da’Vonne alongside either Nicole or Paul if she wins HoH. Bridgette asked why. Frank said that he hates them. At the end of the night, Zakiyah ended up back in bed with Paulie.
