Fresh Big Brother 18 spoilers from the Live Feeds reveal a stunning reversal of fortune for Michelle. Although most of the house was against her and she seemed a lock to be the Week 7 evicted over fellow nominee Zakiyah, a late night of scheming in the BB18 house has changed everything.
Paulie has been playing hard in BB18 and running the house. But Michelle decided since she was leaving anyway (as things looked at the time), she would blow up his game on the way out the door. At the Veto Meeting, Michelle mentioned that he’s been winning a lot and running things.
But that wasn’t enough. Later, former enemies Michelle and Bridgette talked and Bridgette forgave her for bullying her. They cleared the air then Bridgette encouraged Michelle not to wait and to blow up Paulie’s game ASAP. They discussed how to get the other housemates to turn on Paulie.
That spawned a marathon session of schemes that lasted until the sun rose on the BB18 house and the result is that Michelle should now be a non-target for eviction while Zakiyah and Paulie are the targets for the back-to-back Double Eviction unless he wins the HoH and can shield himself.
James had been waffling on how to use his two vote blocker that he won from America’s Care Package. But after Natalie revealed that Paulie has been heavily hitting on her and asked her to date him once Big Brother 18 is over, James was angry and ready to make deals.
From there, they needed to get Paul on board. Paul thought Paulie was his bro-mance partner but Michelle blew that up and told Paul that Paulie had said that Paul was like a puppy he needs to pet to keep him in line. That wounded Paul’s ego and made him prime to make deals.
Then Natalie, Paul, Michelle, Bridgette and James had a major confab on how to send Zakiyah out and target Paulie. Victor was up in his HoH room and not in on the conversation, but Bridgette and Victor had already agreed that Z was the target and Paulie has too much power, so he’s on board too.
With all five present, James finally quit waffling and revealed all of Paulie’s final four and three deals – which did not include anyone in the room but him. James was irritated with Paulie over his flirting with Natalie and also because Paulie said James was not really playing the game.
James revealed the rest of Paulie’s game play secrets and schemes and the five unlikely allies developed a game plan on how to best use James two-vote blocker to send Zakiyah packing without alerting Paulie that he’s their DE target. They don’t want Paulie playing hard, so this is tricky.
The gang played out a bunch of scenarios and decided on this. They will all keep playing nice with Paulie so no one knows they’re targeting him. The five will go to work to subtly convince Paulie that Zakiyah needs to go so it’s not a blindside when she’s evicted.
Then James will block Paul and Paulie’s votes at the eviction so that Bridgette, Nicole, James, Natalie, and Corey are the only ones voting. Nicole and Corey will vote against Michelle and the other three to evict Zakiyah, sending Zakiyah out on a 3-2 Week 7 eviction vote.
The reason they want Nicole voting is so they can lie later and say she voted against Zakiyah to throw Paulie off the trail so he’ll be looking at Nicole and not them at the DE HoH comp. Then there will be James, Natalie, Bridgette, Michelle and Paul all playing hard for HoH to target Paulie.
Nicole had been asking James to block her vote because she doesn’t want blood on her hands that will influence the jury, but he’ll have to let her down and then they will use this against her later since they have decided she’s also a problem to be dealt with.
What do you think BB18 fans? If the five can stick together and no one cracks or blabs to Paulie, this could work. Paul is known to be a blabber, but since they all told Paul that Paulie said that Paul talks too much, that could actually silence him for a change. We’ll see.
For now, it looks like Zakiyah needs to pack up everything she owns. The one wrinkle could be if she has the Round Trip ticket because that will send everyone scrambling but since she’s not a competition beast, they could always put her up on the Double Eviction chopping block beside her showmance Paulie.
