BB day 27

A situation seemingly beyond human comprehension but will in reality play out much more simply.


Big Brother 18: Michelle Outs Frank’s Evict-Da’Vonne Plans & Nicole’s Involvement
By: Matthew Boyer | July 13, 2016 at 1:00 PM EDT






 
Scheming lasted well in to the early hours of this morning for these Big Brother 18 Houseguests after I wasn’t sure we’d be able to top the Vote Flip flop for Tuesday. While this week appears settled what happened overnight with Michelle’s help could set us up even better for more clashing next week.

Backing up a bit to the drama with flipping the vote from Tiffany last night we saw things end with Nicole telling Corey she was ready to target Da’Vonne. Later that night Nicole went back to Frank and reaffirmed her interest in his plan. She was also interested in him not telling others of her involvement, but so much for that.
Flashback to 2:01 AM BBT 7/13 on your Live Feeds. Get the Free Trial now to watch.
Michelle joins Frank and Bridgette outside on the couches. Frank is telling Michelle she needs to win HoH after she thought she needed to throw it. Michelle asks why Frank doesn’t win it himself. He explains he needs to be free to win when it’s clutch. Heh. A few minutes later he mentions that possibly tossing the win to Nicole or Corey. This is important for setting up his later discussion.
Move ahead to 2:13 AM BBT as Frank brings up Da’Vonne and suggests she may be the bigger target for next week. Michelle says she’d be fine with that “as long as it isn’t me.” Frank doesn’t think Day is coming after him next week but she might be going for Paulie and Corey.
Jump to 2:27 AM BBT as Bridgette leaves. Frank asks Michelle if she’s sure she’s okay with targeting Da’Vonne. Michelle says she is. Here’s where Frank screws up. Frank tells Michelle that Nicole didn’t think she’d be on board. Oops.
 

Michelle immediately catches that slip and asks if Nicole knows about this plan to target Da’Vonne. Frank smirks and says he wasn’t supposed to tell her that. Michelle wants to know who all is on board to VTE Day. He says the three of them (Frank, Michelle, and Bridgette) plus the two of them (implying Nicole & Corey).
At 3:15 AM BBT we find Michelle back in the London bedroom talking with Da’Vonne. She’s relaying everything Frank told her about his plan to get Day out next week. Nicole shows up and this prompts Michelle to add that Frank was claiming Nicole and Corey were in on it. Nicole doesn’t hesitate to deny, deny, deny. Problem is she won’t stop denying it or getting heated about the claim.

Nicole leaves the room (3:38 AM BBT) and that sets off Michelle and Da’Vonne discussing her reaction. Day says they can’t tell Nicole anything more because she reacts too strongly. She is also now suspicious of how Nicole protested too much.
Outside the bedroom Nicole finds Corey and sends him back in there after warning him Frank has revealed their involvement. Corey goes in and calmly denies it without going overboard. He says Frank’s been saying that for days about them being in with them to get Day out. Michelle says she didn’t think anything of it and assumed Frank was lying. Looks like Nicole should have played it cool.
I waited to see what Nicole and Corey discussed later, but the cameras weren’t on them until Day joined them outside later. If they talked privately somewhere else in the timeline then I missed it. At this point I imagine Nicole was in a panic.


So two options: Nicole and Corey concede they were out’d by Frank’s loose lips and more openly embrace Frank’s plan to target Day or they try and deny it further and ride with Day. Considering Day doesn’t much trust Nicole and we know Nicole doesn’t trust Day anymore well her options seem limited.
I was initially a little surprised at Michelle’s willingness to spill everything she has on Frank since he’s on her Team, but then I remember Michelle is with the Fatal Five/Four and likely feels more allegiance to Day than Frank as a result.
I still can’t help but think she should keep more to herself though as it’d be helpful to wait and see which way the game goes on Thursday. If Frank finds out Michelle is revealing what he tells her then it’ll put her in a bad spot. It really could be though that she didn’t think anything of the Nicole/Corey claims by Frank and didn’t realize she had stumbled upon the real deal here.
Thursday night is going to decide a lot and we’ll have to go from there. Everyone should be playing hard to win this next Head of Household comp so that’s good news for us.

Diary Room: Adam Poch’s Player Rankings: Big Brother 18 – Week 3
Posted: 13 Jul 2016 08:00 AM PDT
They say the Big Brother game can change on a dime – and we almost saw the house flip this week as the Frank vs. Da’Vonne battle is growing stronger. There was an uprising to try and save Tiffany and vote out Bronte or Paul – but that was squashed (for now).

There is so much lying going on, even the live feeders cannot figure out who is playing who and who is targeting who. But, that’s what we love about the show!
As the Battle Back is looming in just over a week, whoever ends up going out the front door this week will still have a chance to make it back in. BUT FIRST – let’s see who gets Bacon & who gets Tofu this week.
Frank Eudy – 5 strips of Bacon – I expect to get a lot of you upset at me for giving top honors to Frank. He has really polarized himself this season with his overplaying and questionable behavior towards the women in the house. But let’s look at the facts – his #1 soldier & teammate won HoH giving him safety again this week, he controlled her nominations, he won Roadkill again and made the 3rd nomination, and convinced Bridgette not to save one of her other best friends after she won Veto. Yes, he is fully unaware that the other alliance he is in are mostly targeting him, and keeps running his mouth with his hit list changing depending on who he is talking to. But with all these people gunning for him, he is still a tough one to get out & the rest of the house is trying to figure out when & how to get him out. If they do not have a solid plan, it will backfire.
Bridgette Dunning – 4 strips of Bacon – If you win HoH & Veto in the same week, I usually give that person 5 strips of bacon, but a) she let Frank control her HoH & b) she got Tofu in her HoH basket. GRRRR!! I will have to have a talk with her after she gets out about the 2nd part. Still, Bridgette did win 2 comps this week – so she needs to be rewarded for that. While she is public enemy #2 for most of the house, she does have other bonds in the house that can keep her safe in the near future.
Nicole Franzel – 3 strips of Bacon – we are really seeing an improved player this season in Nicole. She is in the center of it all, and while she is dangerously close to getting into a showmance that may blow up her game later, for now she is sitting pretty. Frank, Day, & James all tell her everything that is going on – and she is thinking every scenario through, not just for this week, but down the road too.
Natalie Negrotti – 2 strips of Bacon – Natalie is starting to understand how the game works better than she did when she walked into the house. She is staying off the immediate firing line by getting close to James. While I think she legitimately likes him, she is using him game wise to get further. Of the Spy Girls – she is the lowest of the hit list – and with an endurance comp looming soon, she is built for that and could take power soon.
Paulie Calafiore – 2 strips of Bacon – coming off a week where Paulie had all the power, he was kept safe this week with Bridgette winning HoH. He probably has the best grasp on what is going on in the house behind Nicole. He is getting a little controlling, but the fact that he is thinking through the scenerios and not willing to just jump on an idea without going over all the facts is a good thing. If he starts trying to become a dictator, then he could be in trouble. Also, his “flirtmance” with Zakiyah could end up putting a target on him later if it becomes a full blown Showmance. For now though, he is the voice of reason, and with this crew that’s not too tough.
Zakiyah Everette – 1 strip of Bacon – still on no ones radar yet – Zakiyah has herself in a good spot. With Day & Paulie protecting her, she is listening to all the options – but not really bringing anything to the table. That’s actually a good thing, because in the retells around the house, no one ever says “Well Zakiyah said…” She is letting the bigger dogs go after each other while she sits back and chills.
James Huling – 1 strip of Bacon – James understands how long this game is – and is not willing to start making enemies at this point. James realizes that a flip of the vote to get out Bronte (or Paul) would just enrage Frank, and he would start targeting the people that doublecross him. Is it just his laissez-faire approcah to life, ort is it good gameplay? A little of both. Just please stop with the pranks already!
Not everyone can get bacon though so it’s on to the back half of the Houseguests this week.
