Big Brother 18 Day 50
August 3, 2016
2:00-3:00 PM: Da’Vonne told Nicole that she has been brought up in her diary rooms for not good reasons of late. Da’Vonne said she has been hearing things about how Nicole is going to put her up. Da’Vonne told Nicole she felt that they had a very strong bond when they came into the house. Nicole agreed. Da’Vonne said she has almost come to terms with the fact that they wont even be friends outside of the house. Nicole clarified that it was not her idea to put Da’Vonne up. She said she volunteered to up herself even though she didn’t want to. Da’Vonne said she is going to be pissed if she goes home and finds out that they were being legit with each other the whole time but people were trying to pull them apart. Nicole said it’s humorous how often her name has been thrown around this season when she hasn’t even done anything. Nicole admitted that she is worried about Da’Vonne nominating her. Da’Vonne said she would not do that. Nicole said her gut is telling her that Da’Vonne is after her. Nicole let Da’Vonne know that she has no intent of putting her up. Da’Vonne suggested that they open the lines of communication between them by coming to each other when people telling them things about each other. Da’Vonne said she has much bigger fish to fry, so she will not be nominating Nicole. She pointed out that she gave her word to Nicole early on that she would not go after her, so Nicole should not be worrying about her pulling the trigger. Da’Vonne asked if everything is good for Thursday. Nicole said it is.
3:00-4:00 PM: Michelle told Zakiyah that she is not saying anything to anyone anymore. Zakiyah said she isn’t either. Zakiyah wondered if Paulie knows that she knows he said something to James about calling him a social butterfly. Michelle brought up that Da’Vonne was right about how nobody is going to put Paulie up and that they are playing for second place. Zakiyah agreed. Michelle said people are scared to put Paulie up since he can win the veto. Michelle told Zakiyah that Da’Vonne said Bridgette told her that Nicole approached her and Bridgette about making a four with Corey. Michelle considered asking Bridgette if it’s true, because that would “solidify it for me”. The girls discussed telling Nicole that Da’Vonne is targeting Natalie and Victor if she asks. They mentioned that Da’Vonne actually hasn’t told them otherwise. Michelle thinks that the votes will still be in Da’Vonne’s favour since Nicole has no reason to be scared of what Da’Vonne would do unless she is staying.
4:00-5:00 PM: Zakiyah told Paulie that James didn’t appreciate her calling him a social butterfly. Paulie asked if she called him that. Zakiyah confirmed that she did, saying she told someone and they must have told James. She asked “it wasn’t you, was it?”. Paulie claimed to have told James that he knows the type of game that he is playing, trying to stay below the radar. Paulie said he told James that he is going to have to make moves. He said he also brought up knowing that James spoke to Derrick beforehand, and it looks like he is following Derrick’s advice by the book. They then talked about Da’Vonne. Zakiyah said Da’Vonne told her that she is going after Victor. Paulie mentioned that he plans to tell Da’Vonne that he isn’t campaigning for the votes to go in her favour, just so she knows where he stands with her if she stays. Paulie said he loves hanging around with Da’Vonne but thinks that she is playing a certain type of game being quiet and observant. Zakiyah apologized for saying that Da’Vonne is someone they can trust. Paulie suggested that things changed over time, with Da’Vonne panicking too soon about her position within the five person alliance. Paulie said that put Da’Vonne on his radar, then she went out and told people that the couples need to be broken up. Paulie said Da’Vonne specifically said they are the first couple that needs to be split, when he thought that it would have been the other. Paulie explained that Da’Vonne could have brought James or Paul in to their alliance in order to give her a pair and make her feel more comfortable. Zakiyah asked if James is still on the other side. Paulie said he is all over the place and not really on a side. Zakiyah told Paulie that he can’t be telling James that she called him a social butterfly. Paulie said he told James that they both think he is one.
5:00-6:00 PM: Nicole asked Corey what his game plan is moving forward. Corey said he wants to start winning competitions but he only wants to win when it counts. Corey feels that he has done a better job of talking to more people of late. Corey told Nicole that he would prefer to be backdoored if he has to go, because he would be more upset if he had a chance to win the veto and didn’t. Nicole told Corey about conversations she had with Michelle and Zakiyah. Nicole said Michelle was claiming that they don’t include her anymore. Nicole said she called Michelle out on that. She also mentioned saying to Michelle that she thinks Da’Vonne would put her up in the double. Nicole said Michelle smiled at her and asked where she heard that. Seeing as Da’Vonne spoke to her earlier, Nicole figured that Michelle and Zakiyah encouraged her to do so because she thinks that Da’Vonne would put her up. Nicole said neither Michelle nor Zakiyah have since told her whether or not Da’Vonne would put her up. She said she will give them one more chance before she flips to the other side. Nicole told Corey that she knows those two are lying to her and she hates it. Nicole said Da’Vonne nominating Natalie and Victor would be a waste, yet that’s what Michelle and Zakiyah are claiming that she would do. Nicole then explained that she would be a good person to take to the end because nobody would vote for her. She said she told Da’Vonne today that there is no mending their relationship. She told Corey she will have lost that jury vote as well as Michelle and Zakiyah’s. James joined them. Nicole told him that Da’Vonne is trying to make her feel guilty, so she would feel better if she knew that Da’Vonne said her name. James confirmed that Da’Vonne had said Nicole’s name. Meanwhile, Michelle was crying while talking to Paulie. She said that people are annoying her to the extreme and she is worried about snapping. Michelle said that she can’t take James and Paul anymore. Michelle then brought up that people are going to hate her and she wont be able to get a job after this. Paulie said he wouldn’t worry about that. He told her that he will fly her to New Jersey to work at his gym if nobody is hiring her. Michelle was also worried about being perceived as a bully when it came down to her not wanting to talk to Bridgette or Tiffany. She pointed out that males are able to say whatever they want but females are viewed as catty if they say things.
9:00-10:00 PM: Feeds returned after being down for the halfway party. The houseguests got food and drinks. Natalie asked James who told him the about the comment that Zakiyah made about him. James said he doesn’t name drop. He asked who Natalie thinks it was. Natalie said Paulie. James confirmed that it was. Natalie said that’s interesting. Natalie then asked why Paulie told Michelle what he had told Paulie. James said he doesn’t know and he guesses that Paulie threw him under the bus. James said he fixed it. James and Paulie then talked about the social butterfly comment that was made. James told Paulie that he didn’t name drop him. Paulie said he was the only person who knew about that comment so Zakiyah knew it was him. Paulie mentioned that Zakiyah asked if James is someone that they can still trust. Paulie said he had to tell James and Paul right away when Zakiyah dropped their names. James told Paulie that Natalie said to him that Paulie is going to float to the end. Up in the HoH room, Natalie told Michelle and Zakiyah that a girl needs to win HoH. Natalie asked if the guys are going to keep nominating girls. Zakiyah assumed that they would. Michelle said she wont be doing that if she wins.
10:00-11:00 PM: Da’Vonne asked James if he can make sure that the guys don’t vote her out tomorrow. James said he can do a round in order to put in some work. Da’Vonne said she plans to confirm with people that they are voting to keep her at some point tomorrow. She said she hopes that her friends James will do the same. James said he will either get confirmation or be the bearer of bad news. Da’Vonne said she sits back and wonders about the Eight Pack all the time, because it could have been great. She said even if they took Tiffany out, they could have replaced her with Paulie and still had eight strong. James pointed out that they lost some people along the way, such as Frank. Da’Vonne said he was the one who blew up the alliance. She didn’t understand what the benefit of that move was.
11:00-12:00 AM: Corey told Nicole that Victor told him he is like the douchebag at the bar that just creeps. Nicole said Victor is an idiot. She said Victor is so jealous of Corey. Corey said Nicole was all over Victor and he doesn’t know why she is denying that. Nicole denied it and said she would bet everything on it. Corey said they will get James in there then. Corey returned without James. Nicole said she would never do that. Corey said it bothers him that she is denying it. Nicole said it’s because she has nothing to hide. Nicole told Corey that she doesn’t like Victor one bit. Corey said he doesn’t care. Nicole said she understand that Corey doesn’t care and it doesn’t bug him but she didn’t do anything. Corey said he knows why she did it. Nicole questioned what she did. Corey said it doesn’t matter. Corey mentioned that Bridgette and Natalie were sitting to his left and right, and Nicole was getting mad about it.
12:00-1:00 AM: Corey and Nicole continued to talk things over. Nicole said she would never use somebody to make somebody else jealous. Nicole admitted that she hates that Natalie called Corey sexy “a million times”. She clarified that she would never go do something with Victor to get back at Corey for it. Nicole said it’s 100% fine if Corey is interested in Natalie but she would just like to know. Corey asked if this is a joke. Nicole again said she is not the type of person to do something to get back at someone. Nicole told Corey to ask her ex-boyfriends. Corey told Nicole that it was so blatantly obvious to both he and James what she was doing at the time. Nicole said they were wrong about what she was doing. Nicole said she is going to get Victor out the first chance she gets, because he is the stem of everything and she can’t do it anymore. Nicole said she has no idea what Victor’s intentions are but it’s not good for their games. Nicole then backtracked on her earlier comment about Natalie, saying it’s not that she thinks he likes Natalie but rather that Natalie is persistent. Corey said she is really not. Nicole said she is not jealous of Natalie. Corey said she shouldn’t be, though Nicole thinks that Corey thinks she is. Corey said she was jealous. Nicole told Corey it irks her that Natalie used to have the hots for him. Not long after, James broke up the conversation.
1:00-2:00 AM: Paulie told Paul that the people they are trying to single out still think that Bridgette is leaving this week. Paul said he is surprised they have been able to keep it that way. Paulie let Paul know that James said he isn’t going to try to win HoH because he doesn’t have huge targets in mind. Paul said that pisses him off. Paulie brought up that Nicole goes next and then Corey will refocus. Paul said they need to start thinking about who they can beat out and who is easier to mould. He suggested that James is more difficult to mould than Nicole is. Paulie said somebody other than them would have to win to make that move. Paul said Victor could do it. He also mentioned Bridgette being able to take a shot for them. Paul asked who Zakiyah and Michelle would put up. Paul expects that he would go up. Paulie thought that he may too, though Michelle said today that James and Victor have been rubbing her the wrong way. Paulie brought up that Nicole was saying she is now in the exact situation as last time when it comes to Corey. Paulie said she is in pretty deep when it comes to him. Paul agreed but he thought Nicole may get rid of Corey since she took so much crap about that last time and promised not to make the same mistake again. Paul said Corey is probably in the best position in the house right now. Paulie agreed. Paulie said he thinks it’s time for Michelle to go because she is getting annoyed with people on a personal level for no reason. Paul brought up that Bridgette may take shots at them if they take out the targets that she is after. However, they agreed that Bridgette may take a shot at Nicole. They discussed getting Bridgette out next if they have the chance, before going after Michelle and Zakiyah the following week. Paul worried about going to the end with the four boys. He told Paulie they need to rope Victor in to act as a shield to them. Paulie said James wont want to win until he gets to 7 or 8. Paul said that’s a red flag. Paulie then pointed out that James is trying to keep Natalie until last like Victoria. They talked about possibly going after James before Natalie. Paul and Paulie agreed that it’s best to keep Natalie and Victor as long as they can. They mentioned Corey’s name as the potential fifth in order to take a shot at Victor. Paulie said he is almost positive they would beat Natalie if they are left with her. Paul said he would take Paulie to the end anyway. Paul and Paulie circled back to talking about getting James out in the next week or two. They didn’t think that he would leave over Michelle. Paulie thought that Nicole would have to be on the block next to James in order for James to leave. They wondered if they could get Nicole out if she is on the block next to Michelle. Paulie figured that they could get the votes.
