Big Brother, Ep. 18.25

Eviction Fallout
Michelle is still crying because she was blindsided again. Even though this blindside meant that she stayed in the house (still a complete shock to me).

Michelle apologized for what she said about Nicole trying to make a deal. Nicole said she just asked who she would put up if she won in the double so she would know who she wanted to put up. Nicole said "wanting" to make a deal was different than making one, and she didn't make a deal with her. Michelle said she kind of hinted at a deal. So now Michelle has survived the double eviction and is staying in the game.

Paulie vs. Natalie and James
Natalie told Zakiyah some things because she knew she was going home. Natalie told Zakiyah that Paulie is just playing her and she wanted her to know that. She said that Paulie has said some things to her that have crossed the line. She said there was a time that she was hiding under the bed with him to scare the others and she told him that he could make out with Zakiyah under there, and he responded by saying he could make out with her in there. He said they were hiding in there so James and Zakiyah wouldn't kill them. He also made a comment to her about putting her "big Latin booty away". Natalie told her that Paulie was part of the reason she was on the block. She said if she was important to him and to his game he would have used the Veto on her. Zakiyah was appreciative for the information, and was visibly upset.

Zakiyah pulled Paulie aside and told him what Natalie said. She said she was "attacked". Paulie looked like he had been caught lying. His response was that Natalie always made comments to him like she was going to marry him and come over for family dinners. Paulie told her that if he was the reason she was on the block, she would be going home. He said he wouldn't take any chances. She looked very surprised by that comment, understandably.

Natalie told James what Paulie has been saying to her. James wondered where he's been for all of this. She said he only does it when James isn't around. This really upset James because he thought Paulie was his friend. He cares about Natalie, so it's a big deal and he wants to find out what's going on. Natalie said she didn't want to tell anyone about it to get Paulie in trouble, and she kind of wished she hadn't told James about it.

James then confronted Paulie about what has been going on. Paulie said he compliments all of the girls about their looks and wanting to date them. He said he would never actually go after Natalie. He said that Jersey girls like her do and say stuff like that all the time.

Paulie is furious that Natalie is spreading lies about him. Paulie sarcastically told Natalie to have a good night and have fun with Michelle in their room. She asked why he would say that, and he said because she is going home and that Natalie would surely be next. She asked why he was threatening her, and he said it was a promise. She said she's only been honest with the things that she's said. Paulie said that she is as fake as the things on her chest. Ouch! Not liking this side of you at all, Paulie! That was uncomfortable to watch. Part of me feels like Paulie was just upset for being caught and that he didn't really like saying the things that he said, but felt like he was being backed into a corner.

Natalie then told Paul, James, and Bridgette what Paulie said to her. James knew he had to nip this in the bud before things got more out of hand. He doesn't think the way Paulie has been treating the girls, and especially Natalie is OK. They all went up to talk to Paulie and he offered up exactly what he told Natalie, word for word. James said they should all realize that this is just a game. Paulie said she should not be hitting on all the guys in the house and then try to flip it around. Bridgette was disgusted by his behavior, and so was Zakiyah, so she got up and left to talk to Natalie. Natalie decided to join everyone upstairs. She asked him why he spoke to her the way he did. He responded by asking her why she's said the things she's said. She continued to say it was the truth. I just don't get the feeling that Natalie would be doing and saying the things that Paulie is saying she has. We've seen no evidence that she is caniving and flirty like that. She's had eyes for James, and James alone. However, we have seen video proof of Paulie flirting and saying things to Natalie. So, I would be inclined to believe Natalie in this situation.

Natalie said that she does have a flirtatious nature and that if it made him uncomfortable, he should have said something. She said under the bed, she didn't know what to do, so she laughed it off because she doesn't like confrontation. When he told her to put her butt away, she rolled over. He said she needed to get over herself if she thinks she made him uncomfortable. She said none of the guys make her feel the way that he does. He told her not to play the victim because everyone knows her game. She said that he was being very disrespectful. Paulie said if Zakiyah should be offended by his flirtation, then James should be with hers. She told him not to bring James into it. She said she genuinely loves him and he has taught her how to trust a man. She said she loves him more than anyone except her family. She said she was doing Zakiyah a favor as a woman by telling her what was going on. Natalie finally had enough, so her and James left the room...as Paulie slow clapped their exit like a jerk. OK, really, REALLY not liking him anymore. He is in no way like his brother. What a disappointment. I was really rooting for him, but his cockiness, and now arrogance, bullying, sexism, etc. has just shown the type of person he is. His game is now going down the crapper. No one is going to want to play with him anymore.

The awkwardness in the room after they left was just to the Nth degree. Paul has had enough, and he's ready to fully distance himself from Paulie for his treatment of Natalie and just how he is playing the game in general.

90 minutes before the first eviction, Nicole was in the room with James, Corey, and Paulie and she said the girls are all acting like Michelle is staying and she asked how James was voting. He said he was a straight shooter and he said he was voting out Paulie's girl. He didn't want them to be blindsided with his decision. James said he was sticking with his girl because that is Texas code. Paulie was upset that he was letting the girls influence his actions. James also informed them that he would be canceling Paul's and Corey's votes.

James and Paulie continued back and forth and Paulie told him he better win HOH. Later Paulie did apologize to James. Too bad we didn't see him apologize to Natalie or anyone else.

PP Fallout
After finding out that James was going to cancel Paul's vote, Paulie asked Paul when he was going to tell him what James was going to do. Paul continued to say he had no idea what he was talking about. Paulie wasn't buying it. Paulie doesn't trust Paul, he thinks Corey is the only person he can truly trust. Paul wants to win HOH so he can send Paulie home. Right now, I want that, too. RIP PP

HOH Comp
Apparently, the squirrel now has a name? Benny? Who knew...

They will face off, head-to-head to answer questions about a group of Benny pics.

Michelle vs. James -- James wins
Paul vs. Nicole -- Paul wins
Natalie vs. Victor -- Victor wins
Paulie vs. Paul -- Paul wins
James vs. Victor -- Victor wins
Paul vs. Victor -- Victor wins

Paul decides that it would be better for Victor to win so he can take the shots. Paul acts like he's upset for not winning.

Paulie thinks this is the best situation for him because he thinks Victor is loyal to the 5 guy alliance - The Executives. He thinks he can sit back and relax this week.

Strategizing
Victor thinks Michelle needs to go and they just need someone to sit up there as a pawn next to her.

Paul tells Victor to put up Paulie and Corey to ensure that one of them goes home. Victor said that then the blood is on his hands. Victor did say that Paulie backdoored him and he isn't forgetting about that. Paul said if they don't swing now, they won't have the opportunity again. Paul said he would do all the social work to get it done.

Care Package
The next Care Package goes to: Nicole

Nicole wins some scrunchies, mosquito spray, and "Super Safety". She is safe from eviction and everything this week. She has to wear a safety costume all week long.

Nominations
Victor nominates: Paulie and Corey

He nominated Paulie because he's the strongest competitor in the house and Corey because he's guilty by association with Paulie.
