The live finale of Big Brother 18 took place. The episode started off by airing Part 1 of the final HoH competition. In a battle of endurance, Paul outlasted both Nicole and James to earn his spot in Part 3. The competition lasted roughly 1 hour and 12 minutes. After Nicole dropped out of the competition, James dropped out moments later. In Part 2, James and Nicole went head to head in the “Snapshot” competition. In the end, Nicole earned her spot in Part 3 by finishing in a time of 7:24. James finished in a time of 19:06. Part 3 then took place live. Paul edged Nicole 4-3 after all eight questions had been asked. Paul then chose to evict James, taking Nicole to the Final 2 with him.

Nicole (5): Corey, Natalie, Paulie, Zakiyah and Da’Vonne.
Paul (4): James, Victor, Michelle, Bridgette.Nicole took home the $500,000 grand prize while Paul was left with the $50,000 prize as runner up. Victor earned $25,000 for himself by being voted America’s Favorite Houseguest.
