#BigBrother18 #BB18 starts at the end of the Nomination Ceremony when Victor put Corey and Paulie on the block together. Nicole tells Corey that Michelle is smirking. Victor wants Paulie to go home and says Corey is just guilty by association.
Corey is upset that Victor stabbed the all guys’ alliance in the back and says he’s coming after him. Paulie goes to the Diary Room to cry. Paulie says when you’re a born bred competitor and champion, you put your heart into it. Paulie promises to go into beast mode.
Corey tells the others he’s fine. Paulie asks Victor in front of the guys why he put up two of the five alliance. Corey says he could have sent Victor home and Victor says he could have done the same to him before. Victor reminds them that all but Paul voted to evict him.
Paulie cries like a baby
Paulie asks Paul and James who their target is. Paul plays totally dumb. Paulie says he proved his loyalty with Zakiyah. Paul says they all can’t win and they need to swallow the pill and move past it. Victor says he can forgive the eviction but won’t forget and it’s just strategy.
Victor tells Paulie that he didn’t act like this when Paulie nominated him. Nicole goes to talk to Michelle and Natalie and tells him about the all guys alliance. Michelle says the girls are getting picked off. Nicole says she doesn’t want to be guilty by association for talking to Paulie.
Paulie goes to Paul who tells him that he didn’t know and tells Paulie to stop coming at people hot. Paul says he told him and he needs to trust him and take his word. Paul is playing dumb and tells Paulie that he’s had his back and this is a slap in the face.
Paulie cries some more
Paulie asks if he picked Paul to play in the veto comp will he take him down. Paul says everyone but two are playing so he probably is playing anyway. Paulie is mad that he won’t make him any promises. Paulie follows Corey into the bathroom and tells him if he wins PoV, he’ll use it on Corey.
Pualie starts crying and Corey tells him not to do that. They have a little bro session and Paulie keeps crying and says he’ll work to keep them both in here and Corey says don’t use the PoV on me and says I wouldn’t be mad at you.
Paulie is back crying in the Diary Room which is ironic when he mocked Tiffany for crying and has said numerous times that he hopes he made the girls cry when he nominated and evicted them. Paulie needs to #KeepItTogether.
Veto comp player pick
Victor calls everyone in for the player pick for the PoV comp. Victor draws Paul’s name. Paulie draws Houseguest Choice and asks if he picks Michelle, would she save him. She says no and he laughs and says Nicole who wants to win and take Corey off the block.
Corey draws James’ name. Paulie thinks this is good odds and it’s three to three since he, Corey and Nicole are all playing. Paul, Michelle, Natalie and James discuss rattling Paulie before the PoV comp to make sure he can’t win it. They make plans to mess with him.
Later, in the kitchen, Paul glares at Paulie then tells him he can’t have his back because Paulie doesn’t trust him. Paul raises his voice and says he offended him with his accusations that he knew he would be nominated.
Poke Paulie plan starts
Michelle starts prodding Paulie and tells him he’s full of sh*t. He says he thought their alliance would be like the Detonators with Cody and Derrick and she says he’ll never be Cody and Derrick. Then James piles onto Paulie for talking smack to and about Natalie.
Then Natalie comes into the kitchen and she adds to it. Paul says he trusted Paulie and so did James and then they found out a lot of sh*t about him. Paulie insists in the Diary Room that they’re afraid of him and that’s why they’re trying to get in his head.
Michelle gets behind him and makes explosive gestures to let viewers know she’s blowing him up. Paulie tries to say later that they’re taking a page out of his playbook but are being cowards because they’re not coming to him one on one and are surrounding him instead.
Zingbot invades the house!
#Zingbot comes in and yells for everyone to wake up. Meech goes running excited and she and Natalie check him out. Zingbot asks Corey what you call the man who sweeps Nicole of her feet and makes her hear wedding bells? Then he says Hayden!
Zingbot tells Victor he was thinking of the perfect word to describe him and then says in Spanish. Tu el douchebag. (You’re a douchebag in Spanish). Zingbot tells James he likes to scare people in the house but this summer the people he scared the most are Natalie’s parents.
Then it’s Paulie and Zingbot says he’s a less attractive, less charming and lesser person than Cody. He calls him poor man’s Cody. Then Zingbot says Meech sleeps all day, throws up all night, and cries all the time. He called her a vomit crybaby.
More zings…
Zingbot tells Natalie they know she’s not the brightest bulb but luckily what she lacks in smarts she makes up for in armpit hair. Then Zingbot turns on Nicole and says watching her on BB16 was tough since she threw her game away for a showmance and was terrible at comps.
Zingbot says, oh wait, that’s this season. Nicole says Zingbot is not that cool. Then Zingbot tells Paul he has a lot of catch phrases then says everyone will like this catch phrase “shut the f*k up!” The house goes wild. Paul puts his duck toy on Zingbot and laughs.
Zingbot also tells them he’s running for President and to meet him in the backyard for the Power of Veto competition. They head out and see ZIngobt, presidential signs, and the slogan “feel the zing.” Natalie hosts the comp.
Power of Veto comp
Natalie says they will help Zingbot collect votes and they’ll play in rounds to throw at targets with numbers on them that indicate state electoral votes. Then there’s a Dirty Santa option where you can steal the prizes of the people evicted for you.
Paulie is up first and he’s desperate to win this. He’s sure he’s got this in the bag and scores 32. Corey is up next and he scores 28. Paul gets 8 and James remarks that he won this last season. He lands a 31. Nicole is next and she scores 25. Victor goes last and scores 18.
That means Paul is eliminated with the lowest score and he opens his prize and sees it’s Power of Veto. Now it’s round two. Corey scores 27. James gets 24. Nicole lands a 1 while aiming for 50. Victor scores 6 and Paulie lands 10. Nicole is eliminated.
Zingbot PoV goes on
Nicole’s prize is Secret Service. She is told she’ll have to wear a uniform and pat down houseguests and keep the house secure. Nicole steals the veto from Paul and hands him Secret Service. Now it’s round three and James is up first. He scores 34.
Victor gets 19. Paulie gets 23. Corey lands a zero for hitting a state already used. He gets a vacation that’s a trip for two to anywhere. Corey trades for Power of Veto and hands the trip to Nicole. Nicole says she’ll take Corey on the vacation.
Now it’s round four. Victor lands 30 points. Paulie’s goes off the end and that earns him a zero. James lands a 30. That eliminates Paulie. Victor is thrilled. Paulie wins a Patriotard that has to be worn for a week. He decides to steal the PoV from Corey.
Paulie betrays Corey in PoV
After all of Paulie’s talk about pulling Corey off the block, he decides to steal PoV from his pal. Now it’s Victor vs James. First is James who goes off the end and earns a zero. Victor lands a 5 and wins it. James’ prize is $5k. He decides to keep it.
Victor’s prize is Apple Pie. Natalie says he has to make pies on demand for the rest of the summer when a song plays. Victor takes the PoV from Paulie and hands him the Apple Pie punishment. Zingbot tells Victor he won Power of Veto.
Victor is thrilled that he can send Paulie out of the house in revenge for evicting him. Corey isn’t happy to be on the block and in a Patriotard. Paulie says he’s not going to bake the pies. Paulie goes to the Diary Room and says he’s scared and has no fight left.
Punishments revealed
Nicole likes Corey in his snug Patriotard. He has an eagle on one hand and a sign on the other and has to walk around with them all 24/7. Paul gets his Secret Service uniforms and he looks like a total Man in Black. He has to frisk people and run around.
James was in the shower when Paul had to frisk him. James is laughing as he manhandles him. Paul is woken up in the middle of the night with red alerts and is annoyed. He’s doing it gamely, though and then Corey runs from him. Everyone runs from him.
He has to wake them in their sleep to frisk them, too and it’s funny. Paulie makes his first pie. This is interesting. On the Live Feeds, you could see that Paulie initially refused to bake pies, refused to put on his costume and refused to go to the Diary Room to talk to producers. #bigbaby
Paulie’s losing it
Paulie’s all sad and bummed out when he’s waving his little pie flag. Later he goes back to the Diary Room to cry. Natalie offers Paulie a hug while he cries in the kitchen. Natalie didn’t cry when she was on the block. Paulie says he hates this and says he’s always the strong one.
Paul tells him he’s just stressed. Paulie says he just wants to say f-k it and walk out the door. He’s baby bawling again about self-evicting because he can’t handle being on the block. Hmm. How many people did Paulie get put on the block? It’s ridiculous.
Paulie laughed after he talked Victor into nominating Michelle and Zakiyah and has said on a number of occasions that he likes making other people cry. Karma has come for Paulie.
Voting is open for the next America’s Care Package which is Co-HOH. Voting ends Friday and the care package will be delivered the same day. You can vote at CBS.com under the tab for America’s Care Package.
Victor calls the veto meeting
Victor calls everyone for the veto meeting. A security red alert interrupts the meeting and Paul runs around frisking everyone. That breaks the tension a little. He’s done and then Victor says this is between him and Paulie.
Victor tells Paulie that he told him once, I can forgive but I can never forget then says he won’t use the veto. In the Diary Room, Victor says it’s time for Paulie to go home. Corey says he expected this and loves Paulie but he has to watch out for his own game.
Paulie says in the Diary Room that he doesn’t want to campaign against Corey but also needs to think about his game. WOW. This episode has been heavily edited. Paulie was begging Victor to use the PoV on him before the meeting and making wild promises.
He also reportedly made some insane statements in the usual speech that the two nominated make before the PoV winner states if they will use the veto or not. All that has been cut out. This has been heavily edited to make Paulie look sympathetic instead of scheming.
THE END!
