Big Brother 18 Day 82

September 4, 2016

11:00-12:00 PM: Natalie told Paul and Victor that she wants them to vote against her. She said she wants James to stay and she would have used the veto on him had she won it. Natalie said James helped her out throughout the game a lot and he is her best friend in the house. Natalie told them that she will ask Corey and Nicole to do the same. Paul asked for some reasons. Natalie said she feels like her game is done, since it’s clear that she would be the next target and alone all week. Natalie explained that she would rather be in jury. Natalie said she prefers to leave with pride and keep her best friend in the game. Victor said he made it clear that James is his target. Natalie said that’s why she is talking to them first. Victor told Natalie that he will have to think about it. Paul said it was a bold move and she respects it. Paul asked why Natalie wouldn’t just give it a shot. Natalie said she will fight and she will not give up if she stays in the house, but she would be happy for James if they decide to keep him. Paul asked if she would not be happier if they decide to keep her instead. Natalie said she would be equally happy. Natalie told Paul and Victor that obviously it’s sad when you are on the block with your best friend, though a lot of people have been in the same boat. Natalie asked that they think it over and then let her know their thoughts. Natalie let them know that both she and James were talking about using the veto on each other if they were to win. Paul said he wouldn’t get that since this is not Romeo and Juliet. Paul asked what Natalie’s game plan would be if she stays. Natalie said she will give the comps her all. Natalie clarified that she is not there for sympathy. Paul said they get what she is saying. Paul asked if she talked to James about this. Natalie said she did but she thinks that James thought she was joking. Paul and Victor said they expect James will say the same thing, asking them to vote him out.

12:00-1:00 PM: After Natalie headed inside, Victor said get out of here. Paul said Natalie is doing this so that she can say the kindness in her soul is the reason for her going, if she does end up going. They agreed that it was some reverse psychology being used. They talked about how Natalie threw James under the bus just one day ago. Paul said it would smart on Natalie’s part since it will look like a heroic move if she does leave, which could win her America’s Favorite. Victor asked America not to buy into that. Paul brought up how she said it sucks being on the block with her best friend, which is ironic since she nominated the two of them together.

1:00-2:00 PM: Paul and Victor told Corey about Natalie saying she wants to leave. Corey revealed that James said he wanted to be the one to go last night. Paul said Natalie is doing it just so that she can look like the hero if she does end up going. Corey said he doesn’t want James and Natalie thinking that they are voting the way they want them to. Victor said they didn’t win HoH or the veto, so he doesn’t care about their preference. Paul said James and Natalie are trying to win America’s Favorite by doing this. Corey said they may need to leave a rude goodbye message. He said there is no honour or glory in this, since James and Natalie lost and one of them needs to just leave. Paul said they have to convince James that he is leaving. Victor thinks that it will be sweet when they see the facial expressions when Natalie is evicted 3-0. Nicole then joined them. Corey, Paul and Victor caught her up on what she had missed. Paul thinks that Natalie came to him and to Victor because they only have one vote, so she thinks that she will stay even if he votes her out. Paul brought up how Natalie said she was going to use the veto on James. He was not buying it. Corey and Nicole said they would not do that for each other.

2:00-3:00 PM: Out by the pool, Natalie talked to James about how he is going to work with Corey and Nicole if he stays, while she is going to work with Paul and Victor if she stays. James said he could always work with Paul and Victor. Natalie said he will have to work with Corey and Nicole if they win HoH. Natalie thinks that James will be the target if Paul wins HoH. She expects that he will stick to the Final 4 deal. James thought he might change his mind if it ends up being a 2-1 vote, with Corey and Nicole keeping him in the house. Natalie agreed. James said getting Natalie out would be a perfect strike for Corey and Nicole. He thinks that they will take that shot. Natalie asked James to let her know if he finds anything out. James said he would but he doubts that they will tell him, because it’s better if he knows less information. Natalie told James she knows that the four have talked about how they have been campaigning for each other, because they tell each other everything. Nicole and Corey discussed the situation that James and Natalie are in. Nicole said she would know that she could get further but couldn’t win, while Corey would have a shot at winning it all. For that reason, Nicole said she would want Corey to be the one to stay. Nicole told Corey that she already has her speech planned for when she wins the final HoH competition and brings Corey to the end. She told him that she plans to say “to be the best, you have got to beat the best”. Nicole told Corey about a showmance in Canada, Jon and Neda, made it to the Final 3 and then the male chose the other person. Corey said that’s crappy. Nicole said it’s insane. Nicole told Corey that she wouldn’t take him to the end if she were playing strategic. She said that she has still got to decide. Corey said he can see them getting to the Final 2. Nicole told him not to jinx it. Corey explained that they can pull it out, though he is not saying that it is going to be easy. Nicole agreed that it wont be easy.

4:00-5:00 PM: Feeds were down for a while. They returned to Nicole crying in her bed with Corey next to her. Corey had said something that upset her. It seemed as though it was a comment about her “true colours”. Nicole said it hurt her feelings. Corey told her that she has said a lot worse to him. Nicole let Corey know that she would like to be by herself. However, Corey did not leave. Nicole said she is already not feeling herself, so you don’t bring that type of thing up. She said that she is having a hard time. Nicole said she is sorry if she has said way worse things without being aware of it. Corey pointed out that Nicole made a joke so he made one back at her, now he looks like the bad guy because she is crying. Nicole said nobody thinks that, seeing as he didn’t do anything bad and she would not be acting this way if she were in her normal state. Nicole kept bringing up how she is stressed out and her emotions are getting the best of her. Corey said that she shouldn’t be so stressed at this point when things are going great. Nicole said she is so close to the end that she will not just sit back and not stress even if things are going well. Nicole then said that she likes jokes but right now is not the time for anything negative, when she is already stressed.

5:00-6:00 PM: Corey asked Nicole if she can just bite her tongue next time instead of doing what she did in front of everyone, then they can talk things over. Nicole said yes. She said she is sorry. Nicole then said that she is not going to feel bad about what happened, because she did it but is sick of feeling bad. The talk ended not long after. Corey headed outside and told Paul and Victor that he dodged a bullet there. Paul and Victor talked about how Nicole was legitimately mad.

8:00-9:00 PM: Paul talked about how Natalie said she doesn’t like guys just for looks. Corey and Paul took that as her implying that the looks aren’t there when it comes to James. Nicole said that Natalie told her on Day 1 that she was in love with Corey. Nicole also said that Natalie would tell Corey he is so sexy whenever she was alone in a room with him. Victor head upstairs to go to bed. Nicole asked Paul if he thinks that Victor is mad about hearing that Natalie said she was in love with Corey. Paul said no, explaining that Victor hates Natalie and was the one to break things off with her. Paul told Corey and Nicole they have to convince James that he is leaving. He said not to give James any hints. Nicole said Natalie definitely doesn’t think that she is leaving, though is pretending that she thinks that.

1:00-2:00 AM: Paul asked James if he is the one who told Natalie that he was coming after him. James said it was not him. He promised that. Paul said he doesn’t care at this point but wants to know because he was told that it was James. James said it was Nicole. Paul asked how sure James is of that. James said Nicole told Natalie and then told both he and Natalie together that Paulie said Paul is coming after him. Paul said Natalie is telling him something completely different. Paul explained that Natalie apologized for backstabbing and then told him that James gave him that information. James swore that he didn’t. Victor let James know that Natalie said she got some bad advice from James and regretted taking it. James said Natalie told him that she campaigned to go home. Paul and Victor let James know that Natalie apologized and blamed James, then today she said she wants to campaign to go. Paul told James that it never came out of his mouth that he was coming after James. Paul said all he needed to know was whether or not James gave Natalie that information. James said that he did not. James headed outside with Natalie. Natalie said he looks like he just saw a ghost and is sad. James told Natalie he is sad because one of them is leaving. Natalie mentioned that Nicole will have a spot in the Final 2, because Corey and Victor would both take her if they were in the Final 3 together, and James likely would too. James said he doesn’t know who he would take if he made it that far. Natalie asked if they told James that she is leaving. James said nobody has told him anything about that yet. Back up in the HoH room, Victor said they may not be James’ target. Paul said that’s why this is a good move for them. They talked about how the discussion they just had with James could lead to him believing that they are the reason he is going to stay, despite them only having one vote. Paul said he would like to keep the plan for the vote a secret even though Natalie is definitely going.
