Big Brother 18 Day 85
September 7, 2016
1:00-2:00 PM: Natalie told James she was looking forward to the eviction being today. James said he wasn’t and he is glad that it is tomorrow if it indeed is. James thinks that the taped eviction will take place next week. Natalie said she doesn’t care about that and only cares about when she is leaving. Natalie sarcastically brought up throwing James under the bus, because James accused her of doing so last night. James asked her why she is still stuck on the game. They talked about how Natalie holds onto things. James said he isn’t like that. Natalie told James that he should go hang out with the others. James explained that Natalie is his friend and he would like to hang out with her if she is leaving tomorrow. He said that he will hang out with her even if she doesn’t want to, or if she hates him or dislikes him. Natalie assured James that she doesn’t hate him and she doesn’t hold grudges.
2:00-3:00 PM: Natalie asked James if he knows that they will always be friends. James said he knows that. Natalie said James was right that when she first got hurt weeks ago, she should have let him know that they should just be friends. Natalie said that incident showed her that she was not ready for this. Natalie said she liked James but did not want to be hurt. James said it’s safe to say that they have hurt each other. Natalie let James know that she will be rooting him on from jury. She said James will have her jury vote if he makes it to the Final 2. James said he appreciates that but Natalie can vote for the other person if she feels that they played a better game than he did. Natalie told James that he is a great guy and he made her happy throughout the game. She pointed out that James was always there for her, even when nobody but Bridgette and Bronte wanted to be her friend. Natalie said she will be fighting for James to win the game, because he is her ride or die. Natalie admitted that James hurt her last night when he said that she used him. James said his intent was not to make her upset or to hurt her, but he was hurt at the time. Natalie said she didn’t even know who James was last night and it was scary. James apologized as a human being and as her friend. He said he blames a lot of it on being on the block and on miscommunication. Natalie claimed to feel like she had the biggest heartbreak in the world last night.
4:00-5:00 PM: Natalie talked to James about how Paul and Victor claimed that she threw James under the bus. Natalie admitted she told them that she listened to misinformation, but she was referring to what Nicole told her about Paul coming after James. Natalie said it gets her so heated that Paul and Victor said she threw James under the bus. Natalie revealed her plan to let America know the truth about them during her eviction speech. She explained that she will use the speech as closure. She mentioned wanting to say that Nicole made fun of her when the cameras were on and off, in order to put Nicole on blast and let America see who she really is. Natalie said she will do it all in a mature manner, using factual evidence. Natalie talked about adding that she knew she was going to be the one to leave because Corey and Nicole would never vote James out. She thought that would blow up Corey and Nicole’s games a bit.
7:00-8:00 PM: Natalie spoke to James about what he can do next week if he wins HoH. She suggested that he could tell Paul and Victor that he will guarantee them safety by nominating Corey and Nicole, as long as they will help him get to the Final 3. If Corey or Nicole win the veto, Natalie said James would then be the deciding vote to keep Paul or Victor safe. James mentioned he could vote Paul out at that point because Victor would be forced to work with him since they know that Corey and Nicole would never split up. Natalie told James to stick to one couple instead of putting one from each up, otherwise he will just make everyone mad. Natalie said she knows that Corey and Nicole are very convincing. She told James that working with those two is what sent her home. Natalie explained to James that Corey and Nicole are keeping him to protect them, not for any other reason. Natalie asked James to please nominate those two together so that they will see how it feels. James said he will. Natalie advised James to take Nicole out. James said Nicole is a mental and physical threat. Natalie added that Nicole can beat James in an endurance competition and beat everyone in a mental or physical competition. Natalie called Nicole the biggest threat in the house, telling James that she downplays it and she will win the game.
9:00-10:00 PM: James and Natalie spent nearly the entire day in the London room together, while he other four spent their time in the kitchen playing dominoes and cards. Nicole said she is wondering if James and Natalie are now a legit thing, because that’s the only thing that could have fixed it at this point. Paul said no. Victor said James is just a nice guy. Paul suggested that they drop hints to James tomorrow that they do not want to go against Victor, making him believe that he is leaving. Paul told Corey that they need to pull out a win tomorrow. Corey said there is no way they lose when they have the two of them and Nicole gunning for the HoH. Corey thinks thinks that James doesn’t even care at this point, since he will probably want to follow Natalie out the door.
10:00-11:00 PM: Paul headed upstairs to talk to Victor. He pointed out that it will be four on one in the veto competition even if Corey or Nicole win HoH and one of them go up as a pawn. Paul said it would then be the two of them competing against either Corey or Nicole in the following HoH competition. Victor said he would much prefer that Paul win the HoH so that they don’t have to worry about the veto competition. He explained that the veto is more important than the HoH the following week anyway. Victor said if Paul risks not winning HoH and he goes home, Paul will be on his own and forced to win. Paul said that’s true. He told Victor that he will be gunning for HoH. Victor reminded Paul that James has won a veto before with his game on the line. Downstairs, Corey spoke to James about how he may have bought Natalie an extra week by voting to evict Victor, because Nicole still would have won HoH and probably would have nominated Michelle and Natalie. James talked about how he is riding it out to the end with Natalie at this point. Corey told him to stay on track. He said both he and Nicole have James’ back. James said he has their backs too. Corey let Nicole know that James said he has them. Nicole hoped that he really does. Corey believes that James in on their side and ready to work with them. Corey said he really hopes that James wins HoH. Nicole asked if Corey is going to try to win it. Corey said yes. Corey thinks that James will not stab them in the back, because they are the good guys. He then explained that James would have a better shot at winning an endurance competition with Victor and Paul out of the house. Nicole said she wants to sit next to Corey or James at the end because she loves them. Corey again said he really hopes that James wins tomorrow. Corey said the only downside to one of them winning HoH is that they will not get Paul and Victor’s jury votes if they put them on the block. James joined them. Nicole let him know that she is forever thankful that James kept Corey in the house. Nicole said she hopes that she can repay James somehow.
