Big Brother 18 Day 80 - Victor nominates James and Natalie
September 2, 2016
1:00-2:00 PM: James and Natalie spoke to the live feeders about how they will both be going on the block today. James said Natalie is going on the block but she is not the target unless he wins the veto. Natalie said she would be the target if she wins the veto and uses it on James as well. Natalie mentioned that they should have stuck with Paul and Victor. Natalie said Corey and Nicole would have been the easy targets. James pointed out that they don’t know how loyal Paul and Victor would have been once Paulie returned. Natalie argued that those two trusted them and wanted a Final 4 with them. Natalie told James that they betrayed Paul and Victor with the ultimate betrayal. Natalie said she hopes that Paul and Victor make the Final 2 because she does not want Corey or Nicole to be there. Natalie said Paul talked a lot of crap behind her back, which led to her not being able to trust him. James said Paul did a lot of dirt and has been a flip flopper. James admitted that he was blinded by Corey and Nicole, thinking that they would continue to work together since he had something with Corey and Nicole since Day 1. Natalie said Nicole set them up to be the next targets. James said it was a good game move by her. Natalie brought up how Nicole is not really talking to her anymore, going back to the way she treated her for the rest of the season. Natalie said she saw this coming a mile away, which is why she competed so hard to win the HoH competition. Natalie told James that she will want to use the veto on him if she wins it. James told her to use it on herself. He said she can then say “this one is for James” when she wins HoH and makes her nominations. Natalie said “I told you so” to James with regards to not trusting Corey and Nicole. James said she did. He told her that he messed up and that’s why he is going to leave this week. James discussed how people try to blow up Nicole’s game, but it’s hard to do when she plays the innocent card. James said Nicole claims to not even know what the person is talking about when they call her out. James said Jozea called it when he said all that Nicole does is sit there and scheme.
2:00-3:00 PM: Natalie asked James if he got bribed to throw the competition. She asked if he can’t tell her. James swore on anything that he did not. Natalie wondered if they used the bribe on Paul. James said maybe. He mentioned that they have been really quiet about the bribe. Natalie figured that it was used on Paul.
3:00-4:00 PM: Natalie mentioned to James that America might have given the care package to Michelle so that they could get Nicole and Corey out, because that was the original plan. Natalie told James she is ready to see their smiles on the memory wall when they are nominated. She said she is ready for James to win the veto and for her to go to jury, or for James to go to jury. Natalie said she has to mentally prepare for it. Natalie said it will be very hard to be in this game without James. Natalie told James that she will be giving it her all to kick butt if she is stuck in this house alone, so he better do the same. James said that’s what he is going to do. Natalie said all that needs to happen is to win an HoH. James said he has accepted his fate. Natalie told James that she is proud of him for going out with pride. Natalie said she doesn’t think that Corey or Nicole will get the votes to win. James said they wont because the only people that will vote for them are Paulie and Zakiyah. Natalie said Nicole told her to blindside Victor by not telling him that he is going on the block, yet they are now best friends.
4:00-5:00 PM: James told Natalie that he should have went with Paul and Victor. He said he knew that Victor was more levelheaded. Natalie said he is more loyal as well. James thought that Victor would have been able to talk Paul out of coming after him even if he wanted to. Natalie said it will be an honour being on the block with James. James told her that she should say she is honoured to be nominated next to America’s Favourite. James later took it back and said not to say it. James told Natalie that Paul and Victor are likely going to be the ones that try to pull her in once he leaves. James suggested that she go to Victor and tell him that James is gone, she doesn’t trust Corey and Nicole, and she wants to ride with the two of them moving forward.
5:00-6:00 PM: While Victor was in the diary room, Nicole thought that he was in the London room talking to James and Natalie. Nicole was worried about what they could be saying to him in order to save themselves from going up on the block. Nicole told Corey that she proved her loyalty last night and she thinks that Victor will be loyal in return. Nicole said she is going to want to get Natalie out this week. Corey said he will too. Corey mentioned it is weird that James even voted to keep Michelle in when he knew that the guy he voted out would still be in the house with him. He suggested that James could have at least went to Victor and said he wants to work with him, then voted Michelle out. The nomination ceremony took place. Victor nominated James and Natalie for eviction. Natalie told Paul and Victor that the game has been fun no matter what happens. She told Paul that she really likes him as a person. Paul said he knows. Natalie mentioned that the two of them had her back and she backstabbed them. She explained that she thought Paul was coming after James. Paul said he was not. Victor told Natalie that it’s okay.
7:00-8:00 PM: Natalie told James that Corey, Nicole, Paul and Victor definitely have a Final 4. James agreed. James told Natalie to take Corey and Nicole out. Natalie said she will nominate the two of them if she wins HoH. Natalie said she knew this day would come, especially since they were working with Corey and Nicole. Natalie told James that she should have parted ways, letting James work with Corey and Nicole while she could work with Paul and Victor. James told her that’s mean. He suggested that he would have followed what she wanted to do. Natalie doubted that, saying that James always defended Nicole and Corey. James told Natalie that she will have a better shot without him in the house, since she will no longer be seen as a threat. Natalie said she will give it her all, trying to win competitions, if James leaves. James said he will tell her to stick with Paul and Victor in front of the two, then Victor will know to protect her. Natalie wasn’t so sure about that, thinking that they would still target her first.
8:00-9:00 PM: Natalie told James that the only people who would get her jury vote are James, Paul and Victor. James said it wont be him since he will be leaving. Natalie said the only reason she wants to stay is because she wants to win HoH so that she can put Corey and Nicole on the block together. Natalie asked James to promise that he will gun for the veto. James said he will but he wont fare well if it is something like BB Comics.
9:00-10:00 PM: Nicole thanked Corey for being her best friend. She said she is really happy that she had him in the house with her. Nicole said she probably would not have made it to this point without him. Nicole brought up that she wants Natalie to go this week. Corey said he does too. Nicole told him that they have to win the veto. Nicole discussed that Natalie likes to make people look like bad people. Nicole thinks that those are strong words and that there are no bad people in the house.
