Big Brother 18 Day 95
September 17, 2016
1:00-2:00 PM: While Nicole was in the shower, James sat in the bathroom and chatted with her about how it will be crazy if two vets make it to the Final 2. Nicole agreed. He figures that everyone will think they had a Final 2 deal if that happens. James asked Nicole how she is feeling about Wednesday. Nicole said she thinks she has a good shot at winning the competition, considering she has been watching the show since she was 8 years old.
4:00-5:00 PM: While James and Paul were outside, Nicole looked at the memory wall and counted her jury votes. Nicole went over the votes she would have if she were to take James to the end. She said Corey is her one sure vote, then she would be counting on Victor, Paulie, Zakiyah and Paul. Nicole said it’s risky but she doesn’t think that she would have those same votes if she were to take Paul to the end. She thought that Paul would have Bridgette, Michelle and Victor voting for him, while she would get Corey, Paulie and Zakiyah. Nicole said she has got to do what she has got to do. Nicole headed outside. The guys went inside. Nicole said she cannot believe that she is still there, competing for the final HoH of the summer. Nicole thinks that it is pretty impressive to have two vets in the game at this point. Nicole made her way to the hammock and continued to go over the votes. She said Natalie is a lost cause because she will not vote for her no matter what. As for Bridgette, Nicole thinks that she may get her vote if she is sitting next to James, but not next to Paul since she said she is cheering for Paul during the returning juror competition.
5:00-6:00 PM: Nicole mentioned that she doesn’t want to have to take James to the end, since he doesn’t deserve the $50,000. Nicole said she will be livid if James ends up beating her. Nicole said James did nothing all summer. She wondered how James’ game is perceived on the outside. Nicole thought he may be getting a mastermind edit, though he is the furthest thing from a mastermind. Nicole said James slept all summer, chased Natalie around and made moves for Natalie. Nicole also noted that James has backstabbed everyone and begged to be voted out of the house. However, Nicole was concerned that the jury could be bitter and may vote for James even though she deserves it more than he does. In particular, Nicole thinks that both Paul and Victor would have to not be bitter and vote for her in order of her to win the game. Paul joined Nicole, interrupting her vote counting session. Nicole said she thinks that James is a good guy but he has been so cocky lately and it is driving her nuts. Nicole said James likes to hurt feelings with the things that he says. Paul brought up that James has been mimicking him this entire game. Nicole found that James became cockier once Natalie left the house. Paul explained that it was a facade and that both James and Natalie were playing to get America’s Favorite.
7:00-8:00 PM: Paul told Nicole that James has become real quiet, probably because he knows that he has got to start treading lightly. Paul said it wont matter what he does anyway. Nicole agreed. Nicole said she likes people who work hard, so she doesn’t like to see someone sitting back and being cocky. Paul pointed out that both Corey and Victor tried hard and can’t be there, as opposed to James who has been sitting back. Paul said both of those two deserve to be there exponentially more than James does. Paul told Nicole that she deserves to be there more than James does as well. Paul expects that James will start trying to make himself look like a Victoria, suggesting that he get taken to the end because he has not won anything.
8:00-9:00 PM: James spoke to the live feeders. He said that he is in a really good position right now. James thinks that both Nicole and Paul want to bring him to the Final 2 if he wins. He said he cannot sleep because he needs to make sure that Nicole and Paul don't get too close and make a Final 2 deal. James thinks that he will have the jury votes in the event that he does make it to the Final 2. If Paul wins and takes him, James expects to have votes from Corey, Da’Vonne, Michelle, Natalie and Nicole.
11:00-12:00 AM: Paul told Nicole that James has been following him around everywhere. He said he will probably tell James that he is not going to take him to the Final 2 if he ends up asking him straight up. Nicole didn’t think that James would ask either of them. Paul asked Nicole if she has been practicing her speech. She said no. Paul encouraged her to do so and to give herself the credit that she deserves. Paul said he thinks that Nicole has a good shot at winning. Nicole disagreed. She said she knows that she doesn’t have a good shot. Paul asked if James has pitched that she would beat him if she takes him. Nicole said no. Paul thought that was surprising. Nicole suggested that James would not want it getting back to the other that he had said that. Nicole asked if the jury likes James. Paul pointed out that Natalie has been in there campaigning for him for a while now, and she is close to both Bridgette and Michelle. Nicole told Paul that with the two of them it will come down to whether or not there is a bitter jury. She said there is nothing worse than that. Nicole said she doesn’t think that she stands a chance against James or Paul due to the jury being bitter.
12:00-1:00 AM: Paul told Nicole he could see her getting a lot of credit for being a vet and making it this far. Nicole said she is scared to death about the jury questions, because she will get defensive. She mentioned that sometimes the jury makes personal attacks, then they are also going to get grilled by the pre-jury houseguests after the votes are in. Nicole expects about question about Corey shielding her. She said that is not true. She also anticipates being asked about not having much of a social game, since she only hung out with Corey all the time. Nicole said she has a good answer for that one. Nicole had mentioned that she will not get the votes from the girls. She said it’s easy for girls to vote for guys but not for them to vote for girls. Paul wasn’t so sure about that.
