Welcome to Double Eviction Week on Big Brother 18! Finally we’re in for what is easily the most exciting live show set up we can get each season and I don’t think we’ll be disappointed this week either as we’re preparing for some strong potential of surprise attacks.
Let’s do a quick run down of how this Thursday’s Big Brother live show will play out and where several of the Houseguests stand on potential Double Eviction plans because there’s been a lot of talk growing with the suspicion and expectation that a DE must be just around the corner.
Houseguests might suspect a DE is coming, but they won’t actually have it confirmed until Thursday possibly during rehearsals as I imagine the Vets will at least pick up on any unavoidable cues, but the DR shouldn’t be hinting at it during the week. Once it arrives things are going to move quickly.
Instead of the usual paced out evening with the vote about 40 minutes in to the show and then a quick start to the HoH comp we’ll get a short intro and then the eviction vote will kick in and that HG will be out the door. Since we’ve got a potential Round Trip ticket out there Julie will need to check the first evictee’s card so they know whether or not this HG will be returned to the game to participated in the next round.
Once we know what’s happening with the potential RT ticket the HGs will immediately head outside to prepare for the first HoH comp. That winner will get a commercial break to decide his or her two nominees and announce the news.
With two noms on the Block the HGs will race back outside to compete in a quick, likely physical Veto comp. That winner will have another break to make up his or her mind and then announce his or her decision and we’ll get the final noms of the week whether or not the new HoH has to get involved. Now it’s time to vote again and another HG will be out the door.
Things should break for the show at that point and the HGs will be left trying to catch their breath while waiting for a late night follow-on HoH competition. Once the backyard is broken down production will set up another competition for them. Now that second comp could be given to the HGs in rough format earlier in the day and when that happens Big Brother typically tells all the HGs to practice. That’s a huge giveaway since the outgoing HoH would have no reason to practice unless he was eligible to participate again. So that would likely be the tip off.
We’ll get those new HoH results likely in the middle of the night so be sure to get our Big Brother App or join us on Facebook and Twitter for updates when it happens.
So what are all of the Houseguests planning to do when they find themselves in the middle of the Double Eviction? Oh there’s been lots of talk in the past two days. Let’s run through the discussions.
Remember how Da’Vonne warned Victor on her way out the door that he was the DE target? Well Victor was confused by that and went to work with the very guys who are planning to pull that off on him. Yes, that’d be Paulie and his allies working in the shadows against Victor.
Paulie spoke with James and Corey overnight on Saturday that he wants Victor targeted along with Bridgette on the Block during the Double Eviction and both of those guys agreed. The next afternoon it sounded like Victor was maybe discussing make James the target and we heard more of that later.
Last night Paul, James, and Nicole all agreed that Bridgette would be their ideal target to go up. Then just after midnight there was talk from Victor that now would be the time to take advantage of HGs being annoyed with James to make him the DE target. So much back and forth with competing views.
Lots of talk going around on these plans but I think the most likely combo will be to see Victor and Bridgette going up and Victor could end up evicted. If you only watched the CBS episodes then you might think that “Executives” alliance was real especially with Paulie suggesting that to be the case in his DR sessions, but it’s not true. The guys are using this fake alliance to lull Victor to sleep so they can get him out without him seeing it coming.
If Victor does go during the DE then boy is he going to be upset. Da’Vonne warned him and instead of putting his HoH reign to use in getting out those enemies he made them allies and followed their instructions just to get caught in their web. Oops.
Update: BIG changes on Tuesday night have the game going in a new direction as James has agreed to use his power to help Michelle after he realized Paulie was playing the house. Now everyone but Paulie, Nicole, and Corey are in on the plan. Oh, and Zakiyah doesn’t know either. But they’ll all find out soon.
If Michelle stays and wins Double Eviction then she’s going for Nicole & Paulie. Several of her new allies have agreed on the same target. Get ready for a crazy night!
Who do you want to see targeted and evicted during this week’s Double Eviction? Remember it’ll arrive Thursday night at 9/8c and we’ll be here doing our live recap at 9PM ET so be sure to join us for all that fun. I LOVE Double Eviction shows! Even when the outcome is terrible it’s still the most exciting and unexpected night of the season.
