Big Brother 18 Day 63
August 16, 2016
10:00-11:00 AM: Michelle laid out in the sun. While doing so, she spoke to the live feeders. Michelle said she feels like she is in a pretty good spot with Victor, Paul, James and Natalie. Michelle said the plan is to get Paulie, Nicole and Corey out the next three evictions so that they can be Final 5. Michelle said she feels really good about it because she is going to try to stay close with Paul and Victor so that they will go after James and Natalie first. Michelle thinks that they will want to take a swing at James first. Michelle said they will have her vote to do that. Michelle said she has slowly been trying to piss off a lot of people, doing an Evel Dick strategy, in hope of getting people to take her to the Final 2 because everybody hates her. Michelle explained she always says everyone hates her so that she can enforce it into the brains of her fellow houseguests. She said she hopes that they strategy will work for her since it worked for Dick. Michelle wonders if Natalie is genuine about having forgiven her. She said who knows but she hopes Natalie has. If not, Michelle said it’s fine. She added that she hopes people realize it’s a game and some of that stuff was strategy.
11:00-12:00 PM: In the safari room, Michelle and Victor had a quick chat with the live feeders. Victor apologized to all the Corey, Nicole and Paulie fans out there. He said it’s not in their best interest to keep those three around. Michelle asked Victor if he thinks that Paulie is going to stay in jury. Victor said Paulie will stay and he is just throwing a fit right now. Michelle asked what made Victor want to align with Paulie. Victor said Paul made him want to do it since Paul trusted Paulie 100% when he returned to the game. Victor said he will laugh so hard if the next care package is an HoH takeover and he gets it. He mentioned that he would be HoH three consecutive weeks if that were to happen. Michelle said she thinks that America will give the care package to someone on their side. Victor thinks that America will have their backs as well. Michelle suggested that the viewers would not like to see vets winning the game. However, Michelle said a big reason why Corey would get the care package is because of Nicole’s fans. Victor said that would frustrate him.
12:00-1:00 PM: Natalie was in the safari room with James, crying because she was not feeling well. She pulled her neck while in the shower last night. She said that it has happened to her multiple times in the past and it takes about four days for it to heal. Natalie said it is miserable to be in the house with her neck like that. She told James that she will not even be able to compete on Thursday. Natalie briefly talked about leaving the house. James told her that her friends and family would want her to stick it out. James pointed out how close to the end they are. Natalie said she knows that her family would want her to stay. However, she said she is not going to win since she cannot win competitions. James said they are down to seven people. Natalie said she is in there with two vets, a stallion, a 7 foot guy who used to play baseball, Paul who can do it all and Michelle who is a superfan. James told Natalie he need her more than she thinks she needs him. He said they need each other and he can’t have her tapping out. Natalie told James she would not have been able to be in the house while this sick if not for James being there with her.
2:00-3:00 PM: Paul spoke to Michelle in the have-not room. He said that Corey, Nicole and Paulie are always whispering whenever he walks into a room. Paul questioned what is left to whisper about at this point. Paul asked Michelle if Paulie has campaigned to her yet. Michelle said no. Paul brought up that Paulie wants to convince everyone to open up their cards in order to see if there is a chance that he has the round trip ticket. Paul questioned if Paulie is on drugs by suggesting that.
3:00-4:00 PM: Paulie quickly spoke to Natalie in the storage room, telling her that he would like to talk to her and James at some point. In the bedroom, Natalie asked James what Paulie wants to talk to them about. James asked if Paulie wants to talk to them. Natalie said Paulie approached her to ask to talk later. James said he isn’t sure what it’s about.
7:00-8:00 PM: Paulie spoke to James and let him know that if he and Natalie want to take him up on his deal, he thinks that he can probably swing another vote or two. James said Paulie would only need one more. Paulie said he would prefer to get two more so he can say that he just asked around for sympathy votes and that’s how it happened. Paulie said he can be used as a weapon to take Victor out. Paulie told James that he would be targeted next if he swings at Victor and misses. Paulie said he means it on his aunt that is dying that he wants to take care of James and Natalie if they keep him in the game. James said it sounds good and he will talk to Natalie in order to see if he can get a read on her. Paulie said that using him to take out one of the big targets will leave James with a clearer path to the end. Paulie said people will continue to take shots at him before they even think about going after James as well. James told Paulie that he will take it into consideration and think about it strategically. James said he is about making good game moves.
8:00-9:00 PM: Natalie told James she will be going on the block if Corey or Nicole win HoH. James wasn’t so sure about that. He said those two will take a shot at him or at Paul or Victor. Natalie said they will nominate her next to James. James said he would take a shot at Paul and Victor if he were Corey and Nicole. He said it’s getting too close to the end to worry about Michelle, so everyone will want to go after him, Paul, Victor, Corey or Nicole. James asked Natalie if she would take out Michelle or Corey and Nicole. Natalie said she would nominate Corey and Nicole. James thought that proved his point. Natalie said she wants to be the one to send Corey home, though she does not expect to win HoH. James said he can win HoH and do it in her honour, saying so in his speech. James let Natalie know that Paulie is campaigning against Corey. He said he is going to let Corey know so that Corey will start sweating. Natalie said Corey needs to start campaigning because she doesn’t care who leaves. Natalie told James that it will be satisfactory either way.
9:00-10:00 PM: Victor asked Michelle if she has a speech planned for if she wins HoH and nominates Corey and Nicole. Michelle said she will bring up the fact that they betrayed her and lied to her. Victor said he has no sympathy for those two since they backstabbed him. Michelle said she thinks Nicole is more dangerous than Corey. Paul disagreed and said that Corey can win competitions. Michelle said they are right about Corey needing to go first since Nicole will probably want to go to the jury house to be with him since she is starstruck by him. Victor said it’s hilarious that Nicole thinks Corey is a golden boy. Michelle said Nicole doesn’t think that Corey deserves to go on the block. Paul said it’s stupid to decide who goes up based on how nice you are. Elsewhere, Nicole was talking to Corey about some comments that James has been making that have her worried about the vote. Nicole said she will have to start playing dirty because Corey cannot leave this week. If he does, Nicole said she will get an emotion that she has never had before and freak out. Nicole told Corey that James voting him out would go against everything that he stands for. Nicole mentioned that Paulie has not left Corey’s side. She suggested that there is a reason for it and that everything Paulie does is strategic. Corey said he doesn’t think that Paulie would be okay with him leaving under these circumstances. He figured that Paulie would go after Paul and Victor if he stays. Nicole worried that those two and Michelle would be on board with saving Paulie. As for James, she said James needs Corey to stay because Corey can get a care package to protect them. Nicole said she thinks Corey will be staying for sure.
11:00-12:00 AM: Paul told Victor the best case scenario is that a girl wins this week and then James wins next week. Victor said James is not dumb and is thinking the same thing that they are, knowing that whoever wins the HoH to take out the last of Corey, Nicole and Paulie will be left open in Final 5. They discussed that they have to work together to take out the returnee if someone comes back from jury. Paul said they have to be careful since Natalie and James are smart. Victor said he knows that but they would be stupid to take a shot at them right now. Paul told Victor that the perfect time to make a move would be during the next double eviction. They talked about getting James out at that point. Paul expects that a double eviction will take place to bring them from seven houseguests to five houseguests in one night. Victor told Paul that they are on track right now and don’t need a double eviction unless someone returns.
1:00-2:00 AM: Paulie asked Paul if it’s even worth it to try anything when he is looking at a 5-0 vote. Paul said he hasn’t talked to anybody about it. Paul told Paulie that it’s up to him. Paul said he hasn’t heard anything yet but Victor made his point clear and he isn’t sure that people will go against him. Paulie said the only reason that they would is that he would still remain a target if he stays. Paul asked if Corey has been talking to anyone. Paulie said he doesn’t know. He told Paul that he only wants to stay another week for his sanity. Paul explained that some people may not see it as fair to take Corey out for Paulie’s one week of sanity.
