Big Brother 18 Day 79 - Michelle is evicted; Victor wins HoH
September 1, 2016
1:00-2:00 PM: Michelle told James and Natalie that she plans to call out Nicole if she leaves tonight. James said he doesn’t think that Michelle is going, otherwise Nicole would have told him. James is convinced that Nicole would not blindside him when he has never blindsided her. Natalie said she thinks that Michelle is staying. Michelle disagreed. James explained that you cannot trust Paul and Victor, and Corey and Nicole are not dumb, so they would not make a deal with them when there are only six or seven people left in the game. Natalie said Corey and Nicole know that they will come after them if Paul doesn’t go home over Michelle. Michelle said Corey and Nicole think differently than James and Natalie do. Michelle thinks that it would be stupid to keep her when she is gunning after Nicole.
2:00-3:00 PM: Michelle told Natalie that Nicole would have came to her to do damage control if she was staying. Natalie suggested that Michelle speak to Corey and Nicole so that she can defend herself if they don’t seem to be keeping her. Michelle said there is no changing their minds. Michelle admitted that she hates not knowing. Natalie said she has to go ask then. Paul had joined them by that time. He said he is not going to ask because he would rather not know. Paul then went to Nicole and Victor to let them know that he was being questioned about whether or not he knows anything. Nicole said she can tell that James is wanting to ask her.
6:00-7:00 PM: During tonight’s live eviction episode, Julie revealed to the houseguests that there will not be another double eviction this season. The vote came down to Nicole’s tie breaking vote. By a vote of 3-2, Michelle was evicted from the Big Brother house. Michelle told the houseguests that if they win HoH, they better be ready for Victor’s head to be up their butt. She also told everyone to get Nicole out because she is floating her way to the Final 2. The HoH competition then got underway.
7:00-8:00 PM: Feeds returned at 7:42. Everyone but James had knocked down one of the three letters required to win HoH. Corey was the first to knock his second letter down, doing so at 7:53.
8:00-9:00 PM: At 8:00, Victor knocked down his second letter. Natalie followed that up by knocking down her second a minute later at 8:01. From there, they exchanged chances at knocking the third and final letter down. The egg went in between the “H” on multiple occasions. At 8:32, Paul made it a four way tie when he knocked down his second letter. At 8:34, James finally knocked down his second letter. Finally, at 8:39, Victor knocked down his third letter and became the new HoH. Victor headed to the have-not room by himself. He said the Puerto Rican sensation strikes again. Victor said they thought they could get him out. Corey joined him and the two celebrated. Victor told Corey that they now have to get that veto. Paul joined in on the celebration. The guys talked about how they are now in the Final 5. Nicole then joined her fellow Final 4 alliance members. Elsewhere, Natalie told James that the two of them will be on the block together tomorrow. James agreed. Natalie said she would use the veto on James if she wins it. James told her not to. Natalie said this will be her last week in the house. James disagreed, saying that they will see him as the bigger threat.
9:00-10:00 PM: Victor told Paul that the Sitting Ducks are sitting pretty. Victor said people try to break them apart but they cannot do it. Paul said it’s impossible. A while later, Victor spoke to Nicole. Nicole said she trusts Victor so much. Victor said he wants to evict the person who evicted him. He clarified that both James and Natalie did it but James was the one with the vote in the end. Victor pointed out that it will be the second time that he gets to evict the person who evicted him. Victor and Paul spoke again. Victor said he doesn’t care what anyone says about their game, because they cannot be evicted. Victor thinks that the jury house will have a heart attack and love him for sending James there. Paul said Natalie irks him so much that he almost wants to get her out first. Victor said no to that. Upstairs, Natalie told James that they should have evicted Corey. Natalie said she didn’t trust Corey and Nicole, then those two literally just played them. Natalie said they betrayed Victor and now he will gun for them. Natalie reminded James that she was begging him to keep Victor. Natalie again told James that she will use the veto on him if she wins it. She said she is over it and wont be able to do anything if he leaves. James said she can win the game because she will be less of a threat with him gone. James told Natalie that she has a really good shot to win the game. Natalie disagreed. She said they will be going on the block tomorrow. She told James that they betrayed Victor and Paul, and now they are siding with the people who told her to put them up.
10:00-11:00 PM: James told Natalie that people would be stupid to keep him in the game over her. Natalie replied with “yeah”. James said he went out 7th last time and will go out 6th this time, so he is happy. Natalie told James that Corey and Nicole are going to win. She said Nicole will make it to the Final 2. Natalie encouraged James to win the veto because he can play for HoH next week and Victor can’t. James wondered if Victor realizes that winning this HoH was not good for him, seeing as he is wide open next week and Corey or Nicole will put him up. The two talked about how Corey and Nicole blindsided them when they had a Final 4 deal. James said he will tell Victor about the deal. He told Natalie that it is time to play Big Brother, so he is going to spill the beans on everything. James said Corey, Nicole, Paul and Victor probably have a Final 4. Natalie said they should have done that with Paul and Victor. James said he thought he could trust Corey and Nicole, so that’s his fault. James admitted that he should not have thrown the HoH competition. He said it kept them safe for the week but hurt us the following week.
11:00-12:00 AM: Nicole told Corey and Paul that everyone is going to think she is a bully since everyone craps on her as she walks out the door. Nicole said it doesn’t make sense to her, but every Thursday she knows that she is getting called out. Paul said America is watching the show and sees that Nicole is doing nothing. Nicole said Michelle makes Christine look like an angel. Nicole claimed that she does not want to see Michelle or hang out with her outside of the house. In London room, James told Natalie he will tell Victor that Natalie tried to save him and does not deserve to go up. He said he will push for Corey to go on the block next to him. Natalie said the Final 2 is going to end up being Nicole and Victor. Both James and Natalie agreed that they will vote for Victor in that scenario. James said he will bring up how Nicole said Victor is going to win the game if they don’t get him out. Back in the Tokyo rom, Nicole said she will not ever hang out with Michelle again. She explained that Michelle makes her heart race and gives her post-traumatic stress disorder.
1:00-2:00 AM: James spoke to Paul and Victor in the HoH room. He said he understands that they are probably close to Corey and Nicole, but he wants to explain some things. James said the reason why he did not commit to keeping Victor or to a Final 4 with Paul and Victor is that he had a Final 4 with Corey, Nicole and Natalie. Victor asked if that deal was made before or after Paulie left the house. James said after. Victor explained that James worked with him while it was convenient, then ditched him once he had got Paulie out of the house. James then talked about how Natalie doesn’t deserve to go on the block, seeing as she wanted Victor to stay. Paul and Victor told James that Natalie still wanted Paul to go. Victor mentioned that Natalie would not be going up because she is the target, if she goes up. Corey and Nicole then broke up the talk. Natalie joined James in the bedroom. James said he talked to Victor for the both of them and he pretty much sealed his fate so that Natalie can stay. Natalie said that made her sick to her stomach. She told James that she can’t be in this game without him. James explained that he gave it to Victor straight and told him that Natalie didn’t want him going home. James said Victor told him that he felt like they used him to get Paulie out, then jumped ship on him to make the Final 4 with Corey and Nicole. Natalie said she should have won this HoH. She told James that she would have put Nicole and Corey up. James said it sounds like they want him to go this week. James brought up how it’s his fault that Nicole knows Natalie wanted Corey out. Natalie said they will put her up and vote her out because of that and because they are all working together. Natalie said she will be using the veto on James if she wins, and he can’t stop her. James said he can. Victor came down and asked to speak to Natalie. He told her that they are in the same situation that he was now, so he wanted to tell her that she is not her target just like she told him. Victor explained that he wants Natalie to have to use the veto on herself instead of James. Natalie said that’s understandable. Victor said James is his target and he really doesn’t want Natalie to go this week. Natalie said she appreciates that Victor talked to her. Afterwards, Natalie told James that he is the target. James said he knew that.
