Day 66 on Big Brother 18 and some tension in the house as Paul is obviously upset he was called the manipulator and the liar. Paul is still their target because Natalie thinks James is Paul’s next target and Meech has been lied to. Victor tells Paul that two hours before nominations that he was going to be a pawn next to Paul since they wanted Paul out. This enrages Paul and he is ready to blow it up.
Paul goes into the kitchen and immediately confronts Natalie about when he lied. She is deflecting and doesn’t want to get into it. That doesn’t go anywhere so he asks Meech what is up. She accuses him of lying about past evictions and who was actually being evicted. They keep referencing what Paulie said and Paul reveals that Paulie had mentioned all of their names before he left. “Y’all suck at this game,” Paul says. That is easily one of the best quotes of the entire season.
Corey and Nicole are pumped and surprised they are safe this week. They go back to their usual sleeping and not doing anything. Paul goes back to the HOH room and in a calm manner wants to know who threw his name under the bus. Paul then has a plan. He tries to convince Natalie, James and Meech to not trust Corey and Nicole and that they are the liars. He says he is nominated because Nicole and Corey lied to them. Natalie feels bad and starts crying. This could work beautifully for Paul (playing on her emotions). It seems that Paul’s plan to flip the house and have them potentially backdoor Corey could actually happen. I’m ok with this plan. (Secretly, Meech and James still want Paul out. It really depends on what happens after the upcoming veto competition.)
Paul is still going strong as he decides it is time to blow up Nicole’s game. Corey is called into the DR and Paul immediately calls out Nicole and says she is the sole reason he is on the block. Nicole tries her playing dumb for a minute then gets into it with him. Paul accuses her and Corey of lying and the reason he is nominated. She continues to deny while the “genius” Corey comes out and is removing his patriot-tard. #Awkward. He finally wakes up and realizing that they are fighting. Paul is tired of her lying and just wants her to say things to his face. We have had quite a bit of drama this episode and we haven’t even had the POV competition yet.
Natalie keeps going back and forth on what to do. She says her gut is telling her to take out Paul. James tells her to trust her gut and he will support her decision. It is true that Paul is good at swaying people but I do like Paul. I would be ok with Paul staying and splitting up Corey/Nicole. We witness more Captain Camo as James pranks Paul again by putting salt in his water while he is working out.
The HG head to the living room as the BB Storm Watch comes on where they are told clues about evicted HG. This obviously will pertain to the POV competition. The HG stay up late as long as they can. Paul is the last one standing. The POV competition will have the HG compete individually. They will read the teleprompter and try to correctly fill in the evicted HG that they are asking for. The funny part is they are standing in the backyard in a massive rainstorm.
Natalie Rainbow struggles through this. Victor Caliente is not familiar with the different types of clouds. James Showers is doing what he does best…throw competitions. Michelle Drizzle is hoping anyone but Paul wins. Corey Breeze….yeah he isn’t winning this. Paul Storm is focused and he is on the block for the 4th time this season. The highest possible score in this competition was 21 and guess who…YOUR BOY Paul is able town this veto (his second POV win of the season). Paul will be safe and now it looks like the ‘Backdoor Corey’ plan could actually work.
It seems that it has become the Five [Nat, James, Victor, Paul and Meech] against Corey and Nicole. Paul knows he must make sure Victor stays in the house. Nicole is scared and feels Meech doesn’t like her and she will go up. The house (minus Corey and Nicole) do some back and forth outside about who should go up. I personally think Corey is a stronger player and strategically, it makes sense for him to go on the block.
The Veto Meeting is here and I’m curious to see what Meech does. Paul obviously takes himself down and Meech agrees with me and puts Corey up as the replacement nominee. I’m ok with this and would love to see Corey leave the house tomorrow night. It is going to be a close vote and seems that James might be the deciding vote. “This could get crazy,” James says. He might be right. The jury members also come back tomorrow night to compete to come back into the house.
Tomorrow night’s episode is going to be unpredictable. Tune in tomorrow night at 9 p.m. on CBS!
