Big Brother 18 Day 77
August 30, 2016
2:00-3:00 PM: Victor talked to the live feeders. He said the game talk is definitely at a minimum. He said the Final 4 is strong and they are looking forward to this Thursday. Victor said he is actually sad about Michelle going home, because he likes her a lot. Victor said Michelle is just aligned with the wrong people right now. Victor went on to say that they have no choice but to win HoH. Victor said that he would for sure nominate James and Natalie, hoping to send James home. James noticed that Victor was alone and talking, so he asked if he is talking to himself. Victor explained that he was talking to the live feeders. After that, Victor did not want to talk any more game since James had noticed him. He said just to know that karma is sweet.
3:00-4:00 PM: Natalie asked James if he got bribed. James swore that he didn’t. Natalie said he will be the next target if he gets bribed. James said he knows that but he didn’t get bribed. James mentioned that he has yet to win a mental competition in two seasons. Natalie said he could get lucky since it’s a 50/50. James admitted that’s true but said he is currently 0 for 8 in those competitions. Natalie asked if James thinks that he will be bribed to throw the HoH competition. James expects that one of them or Michelle will be asked. Natalie said that it will most likely be Michelle. James and Natalie hoped that Michelle would not take the bribe. James said he wouldn’t take it because he knows that one of them will go home if they lose the upcoming HoH competition. James said Corey may surprise everybody by taking a shot at Victor and Michelle. Natalie said they may keep Paul and then bribe him to drop out of the next HoH competition. James told Natalie that it wouldn’t make sense to do that since Corey and Nicole would then be left fighting the two of them and Victor and Paul. James thinks the smartest move would be to get rid of Paul, making Victor 100% loyal to Corey and Nicole. James said Paul and Victor will be right back together, so he cannot believe that they even entertained the thought that Victor would put Paul on the block. Natalie said it’s a guarantee that Victor will nominate the two of them together. James agreed. However, James said he could tell Victor to take a shot at Corey and Nicole since they had made a Final 4 deal with him and with Natalie, so they will go after Victor next when he cannot compete for HoH. James said he would then swear to Victor that he would take out whoever remains out of Corey and Nicole next. James said he would be worried about Victor winning HoH if he were Corey or Nicole too. Natalie disagreed, saying that those two will use Victor to get them out. Natalie brought up that Nicole knows this game probably better than anyone else in the house. She pointed out that Nicole played with one of the greatest winners. She mentioned that Nicole has yet to be put on the block. James said that he played with one of the greatest players as well. Natalie said Nicole is a bigger threat than Corey is, like Michelle has been saying. The two agreed that it’s in fate’s hands to decide who goes. James said he is ready to go and if he goes, he goes. Natalie said she would definitely sacrifice herself for James if the two of them are on the block together.
6:00-7:00 PM: Paul told Victor that based on his conversation with Michelle yesterday, she has no idea what is going on. Paul wondered if that’s true. Victor thought so. Victor said it’s pretty clear that James and Natalie are voting for Michelle to stay. He said that it would be a dick move not to. Victor explained that everyone is expecting those two to vote Paul out and therefore they would not be mad about it. Victor said he would actually be more mad at James if he voted Michelle out. He said he would lose respect for James since Michelle is his girl. Paul said Natalie will throw Michelle a sympathy vote for sure. Victor said Natalie claims to do it to be nice but in actuality she does it in order to get jury votes. Paul said James is the one who tells you that you are getting evicted. Victor said James didn’t tell him anything.
8:00-9:00 PM: Nicole talked to Paul about how it is weird that James, Michelle and Natalie have not talked to her about this week’s vote. Nicole figured that they are doing it because that way they can play dumb when Michelle leaves and say that they voted Paul out because they thought it was the plan. Paul said he will go up to them after the eviction and say that he is putting them up if they don’t beat him in this HoH competition. Nicole asked Victor which way he thinks James and Natalie will be voting. He said they will vote to keep Michelle. Inside, Michelle finally woke up for the day. Natalie told her that Paul has been looking depressed today. Michelle asked if she has heard anything new. Natalie said that she has not.
9:00-10:00 PM: Paul told Victor that he is feeling super confident right now. Victor replied with “told you”. He said he trusts Corey and Nicole with his life in this game. Paul pointed out that Victor isn’t the one on the block. They talked about how they need to win HoH so that they can go after James and Natalie. Michelle told Natalie she wishes that she could be a fly on the wall up in Nicole’s HoH room when she alone with Corey. She said she wants to figure out what’s going on. Natalie asked if Michelle thinks that they tell Victor anything. Michelle told her that both Victor and Paul are saying that they don’t know anything. Elsewhere, Nicole was heated because Paul had told her that Michelle said she thinks James and Nicole have a Final 2 deal. Nicole told Corey that she is close to blowing up on Michelle. Nicole said Michelle needs to cut the crap and stop talking smack when she is making stuff up. Nicole thinks that Michelle is purposely sleeping all day to avoid being around her. Corey and Nicole discussed that they don’t know where James’ head is at. Nicole wondered if they even have the option of working with James moving forward. She thinks that James would nominate them. Nicole thought that Paul’s reasoning for expecting James to keep him around is that he is working with James. Nicole circled back to Michelle saying she has a Final 2 with James. Nicole asked why she would have a Final 2 with James when she has been working with Corey forever. Corey hoped that James and Natalie would target Paul and Victor over them since those two are stronger than they are. Nicole didn’t know why James and Natalie would think that they don’t have their back when they did not do anything wrong. Corey said James is so far up Natalie’s butt, always hanging out with her. Nicole said Corey hangs out with her quite a bit as well. Corey explained that James wont go out of his way to hang out with anybody. Nicole said she doesn’t do that either, so it may be a vet thing.
10:00-11:00 PM: Corey told Nicole he hates the fact that Natalie thinks she has played a good game. Nicole said Natalie has done nothing the whole game but she is probably chilling until the Final 3. Nicole asked if you can really argue that it’s not a good game. However, Nicole said all that Natalie does is tell people what people say about each other, which is not how this game is. Nicole said you can tell that Natalie has never seen the show. Corey and Nicole agreed that they would like to see Natalie leave before James. As for this week, Corey said he will not tell James which way he is voting unless James asks him.
11:00-12:00 AM: Michelle said she may get taken out this week. Natalie told her Nicole knows that it would be a very bad move to do so. Michelle thought Nicole might be concerned that she will win the double eviction HoH. Michelle mentioned how she has not been up in Nicole’s HoH room since she got her room. James said he hasn’t been either. Michelle said she hates the way that Nicole plays the game. James asked if she means like a snake. Michelle said yeah. She expanded on that by saying Nicole is so secretive and wont talk game with anyone but Corey. James said that’s strategy. Michelle said she doesn’t care and she doesn’t like it. Michelle went on to say that she was not a big fan of Nicole’s during Big Brother 16 and she was not excited to see her return. Michelle said she became really good friends with Nicole and yet Nicole screwed her over. Michelle said Nicole probably screwed over her Christine. Natalie said she thought Christine did that to Nicole. Michelle told Natalie that’s what Nicole says but she probably did something to Christine first. Natalie headed out to the bathroom. She returned and let James know that Corey and Victor are studying in the kitchen. Michelle came back a few minutes later to say the same thing. James said he is going to go sit out there to let them know that he knows what they are doing. James told the girls that people are working together when they study together. Michelle was frustrated that Victor is helping Corey study when she was the one who helped Victor study.
12:00-1:00 AM: Michelle ranted to Natalie about how Victor has been evicted twice and he should not be there. Natalie said there is nothing that they can do about it except for study harder now that they know Corey and Victor are studying. The girls discussed that they will not accept a bribe to drop out of the next HoH competition. They hoped that James would feel the same way. When James returned to the room, Natalie asked him if he would take the money if he got bribed to drop out of the competition. James joked that he may already have. He then said that he will not take it. Michelle talked to James about being mad that Victor is helping Corey study. James suggested that they could follow them around and hang out with them so that they have less time to study.
4:00-5:00 AM: James told Michelle that he is said because he feels like Natalie doesn’t like him anymore. Michelle said she does but the honeymoon phase doesn’t last forever. James said his feelings haven’t change. Michelle told James that she doesn’t think Natalie’s have ever. James thinks that Corey and Nicole still like each other, saying it shows and actions speak louder than words. James brought up Natalie saying she has been distant cause of something that she claimed sounded like a single man’s conversation. James explained that about 25 days ago, Corey was telling him that he knew one of the girls from The Bachelorette. James said that girl was his favourite, so Corey said he would introduce James to her. James told Michelle he said it would be cool, but Natalie heard the conversation and has been holding on to it since. Michelle agreed that Natalie does hold on to things. James brought up how Natalie flirted all season long, yet she wont show any affection for the person who she likes. Michelle said Natalie may be scared about taking things to the next level. James said Natalie said that too. James said he doesn’t even move in bed anymore, staying in one spot. James told Michelle that Natalie acts like he is not even there in bed with her. He explained that they stay on their own side. Michelle asked if they ever cuddle. James said they did before but then all of a sudden it stopped. James said it stopped when he was a have-not two times ago. James said his gut is telling him that Natalie wants to tell him that she wants to be just friends because she is not ready for this, but she doesn’t want to hurt his feelings. James thinks that Natalie genuinely cares about him, though he thinks he cares about her on a different level. James said he has been trying to get that out of her. Michelle told James that Natalie has never said anything to her to make her question it. James said his gut is telling him every day that Natalie is not into him like that. Michelle said she will play devil’s advocate. She brought up that Natalie could be scared that she is going to get too close to someone when they could be completely different after the show and when they wont get to see each other a lot. James said it could be that but he thinks she knows that he likes her way more than she likes him. Michelle said that sucks. James thought it may be best for him not to sleep in the same bed at all, letting Natalie come to him. Michelle figured that Natalie would get sad if he doesn’t give her attention. James said he has to throw himself out there to get stepped on. Michelle suggested that James and Natalie may need to have a talk.
5:00-6:00 AM: Michelle said the ideal situation would be her staying, winning HoH and then James or Natalie win the following HoH. James said he can about 100% guarantee that they will have a good shot at winning HoH next week if Michelle wins this one. Michelle asked if James can 100% guarantee that she is staying. James said he his about 90% sure on that one. James said he will talk to Nicole tomorrow. James told Michelle that he feels he has a lot of pull with Corey and Nicole, so he will go talk to them one on one tomorrow. James told Michelle to chill and act like she is Nicole’s best friend and she loves her. Michelle said she used to. Michelle thinks that Nicole gets jealous easily, wanting all of the guys’ attention. Michelle explained that Nicole is loud and extra ditzy when alone with all the guys, yet she is quiet and doesn’t say anything when the girls are around. Michelle said she thinks girls don’t like Nicole because she is very possessive of all the boys and wants all of their attention.
