The power in the Big Brother 18 house shifted Thursday night, well sort of. Bridgette won HOH but it didn’t take Frank long to take control and make her decisions for her. But that didn’t stop the rest of the house from scrambling and panicking.
If you’ve got the Live Feeds (Free Trial) then you can watch all of these moments with the Flashback feature to go back and watch those important conversations or funny scenes you may have missed.
Big Brother 18 Live Feed Highlights – Thursday, July 7, 2016:
7:01 PM BBT – Feeds are back. Team Frank is safe. Da’Vonne is already in his ear saying she feels nervous.
7:05 PM BBT – Michelle really worried. She warns Nicole and Zakiyah that Bridgette is Frank’s spy and will do what he wants.
7:10 PM BBT – Paulie, Nicole, and Zakiyah all in a panic.
7:15 PM BBT – Frank lets Nicole & Zakiyah know he’s going to push for Tiffany and Paul.
7:25 PM BBT – Frank and Bridgette sit down to talk noms. She wants to either go with noms from Team Day or Team Nicole and doesn’t want to touch Team James (her PowerPuff/Spy Girls are on that team).
7:30 PM BBT – Frank is pushing Tiffany and Paul for the noms. Bridgette is okay with that. She says she doesn’t care if Paul goes. Frank suggests the other Vets really want him there and even need him. He has no idea they’re all united in trying to get rid of him.
7:35 PM BBT – Team Nicole are this week’s Have-Nots. They performed the worst in the HoH comp.
7:45 PM BBT – Paulie joined the conversation. He suggests Bronte as an option, but Bridgette immediately says no and suggests the guys will have to do that themselves.
7:50 PM BBT – James & Da’Vonne stressing in the Lounge. James says if Tiffany has to go this week then she goes. He doesn’t care as long as it’s not one of them. James thinks Frank could be planning a BD against one of the Vets.
8:05 PM BBT – Corey trying out his new HN bed with the bumper car. He doesn’t even come close to fitting. This seems cruel.
8:05 PM BBT – Bridgette promises Zakiyah she isn’t going up. They talk for the first time in weeks and Zakiyah acts like they’re best friends.
8:10 PM BBT – Frank talks with Corey and Nicole, assuring them they won’t go up. He says Tiffany and Paul are probably going to be the noms.
8:30 PM BBT – Natalie, Bronte, and Frank agree the one vote against Bronte must have been from Paul.
8:33 PM BBT – Nicole tells Tiffany that Paul might be going up, but she doesn’t know who the other person is. This is a lie. She was told to expect Tiffany and Paul as the noms.
8:35 PM BBT – Michelle, who is safe this week, is worried that Bridgette knows she doesn’t like her.
8:36 PM BBT – Bronte tells Natalie that James told her things didn’t go to plan. Bronte suspects James was hoping to target Frank this week.
8:45 PM BBT – Nicole is worried Tiffany will try to make a deal with Bridgette. She says someone needs to stay on top of Tiffany to block game talk.
9:01 PM BBT – Frank tells Michelle that Bridgette thinks she and Nicole hate her. Michelle says if she apologizes for saying she would shave off her eyebrows then she can try to have a better relationship with Bridgette.
9:03 PM BBT – Day and Frank agree that if Tiffany goes this week, then it won’t exactly be a wasted week for them.
9:04 PM BBT – Nicole, Paulie, James and Zakiyah talk get their stories straight on Tiffany saying she was targeting Frank.
9:06 PM BBT – Paulie says Tiffany might cry and freak out and Zakiyah said and that might work and then she could go up herself. Paulie mentions going for the Roadkill and nominating Natalie as a backup plan. James just kind of looks on to that idea.
9:08 PM BBT – Paulie compares Tiffany to Vanessa and says it might be good for her to go this week before she has a chance to pull all the tricks Vanessa pulled last season. James agrees with Paulie.
9:15 PM BBT – Tiffany asks Day and Michelle if she’s going up. They say they don’t know. They just play off being upset that they can’t get Frank out this week. Tiffany tells them they just need to win Roadkill and put Bronte up so they can all vote her out.
9:17 PM BBT – Michelle asks Tiffany why she thinks she’s going up and she says because Bridgette is Frank’s sidekick and Frank is gunning for her. Tiffany said there’s an 85 percent chance she’s going up and that’s OK because she will be able to play in the Veto competition.
9:22 PM BBT – Natalie tells Bronte that the guys are starting to target the girls because they are getting outnumbered.
9:33 PM BBT – Nicole tells Paulie and Michelle she’s afraid Tiffany will throw her under the bus. Nicole says Tiffany is already talking about making deals. Paulie said she’s going to take some pages out of Vanessa’s playbook.
9:37 PM BBT – Paulie says they just need to get through this week because this was the one competition (a crapshoot) any of those girls could win and that they won’t win any more.
9:40 PM BBT – Paulie tells Nicole to not get paranoid because Tiffany is going up, will lose the veto and go home.
9:44 PM BBT – Tiffany comes in and breaks up the talk about her. She tells them that it’s down to four people: Her, Corey, Paul and Nicole. No one really reacts to that news (these people don’t know how to fake anything).
9:45 PM BBT – Zakiyah and Paulie have a private hug and she apologizes for losing the HOH. He tells her not to be sorry because it was a crapshoot.
It was a long night with a lot more to go in our highlights report on the next page.
Houseguests knew who was going up, but drama continued around the nominations plus Frank is causing more problems with the other Vets that could boil over real quick.
9:46 PM BBT – Natalie and James are talking about feeling safe this week. She says they just need to win Roadkill. James asks who they’d put up and she says she has no idea.

9:50 PM BBT – Paulie and James tell Natalie that Victor had no idea he was going home.
9:55 PM BBT – Tiffany asks Paulie to talk. She asks for his advice on what to do. He tells her to talk to Bridgette. She asks if Frank threw out any names that Bridgette had mentioned.

10:12 PM BBT – Corey breaks up the conversation with Paulie and Tiffany. Corey says she’s going to try to blow everything up. Paulie said she doesn’t know about their five with Z, Nicole and Day so they’re fine.
10:22 PM BBT – Paulie tells Corey that Frank threw the HOH. Corey doesn’t get why he would throw it. Paulie says because he feels safe and if he did win, he’d have to show his cards. Frank comes in and talk turns to his favorite subject: Tiffany.
10:27 PM BBT – Frank said as soon as nominations come out he’s going to frazzle Tiffany. He said he wants her frazzled as possible so that she won’t do well in the competitions. He says she might start crying as soon as he says her name. He says he’s not going to be mean but he’s going to confront her about throwing his name out.
10:28 PM BBT – Corey asks who they put up if they win Roadkill. Frank says Bronte. Paulie asks if Bronte goes up if Tiffany is still the target. They agree that she should be.
10:30 PM BBT – Tiffany tells Paul she’s Vanessa’s sister. He has no idea who she is and doesn’t care. She asks him if he has any idea what’s going to happen with nominations. He says he has no clue. He says he hopes he’s not going up. He tells Tiffany he doesn’t worry about things before they happen. He says he’ll worry about being nominated if he gets nominated (everyone should adopt Paul’s philosophies).
10:39 PM BBT – Paulie tells Tiffany he wants to put one of those girls up so badly. He says if one doesn’t go up they’re going to be pirouetting all week.
10:42 PM BBT – Tiffany gets a cup to put against the wall to listen to Frank talking in the Have-Not room. She can’t make anything out. Michelle listens at the door and tells her she doesn’t think it’s anything interesting.

11:00 PM BBT – Frank tells James that Corey might end up being a renom option since he heard Bridgette mention that idea. Frank thinks that might be a good backup plan since Corey is a threat.
11:10 PM BBT – Frank says either Corey or Paulie should go if it gets to a renom situation.
11:50 PM BBT – Paul won’t admit to the Power Puff alliance that he was the vote against Bronte. He denies it and suggests maybe it was Tiffany.

12:55 AM BBT – James lets Corey and Nicole know that Frank was floating Corey’s name as a renom option. Corey tells James that Frank mentioned wanting James and Da’Vonne out because they have kids and that would be hard to beat at the end.
1:05 AM BBT – Da’Vonne is in tears. Frank’s behavior is too much, she says. Day says he told her to “shut your mouth, woman.”
1:20 AM BBT – Bridgette promises Bronte and Natalie they’re safe this week, but warns Bronte that her name is being suggested to her.
1:28 AM BBT – (Off camera, but audible.) Frank smacked Da’Vonne’s bottom. She yells at him to stop hitting her. He thinks she’s joking. She’s not. Frank tries to go and apologizes, but it doesn’t take.

2:52 AM BBT – James relays Frank’s comments about kids not being a ticket to Jury over to Da’Vonne.
3:00 AM BBT – Houseguests are in bed and out for the night.
What a mess of a night. Started out great with the panic drama of the new HoH and Frank’s safety with so many targets on him. Then it ended with Frank creating some really bad situations. Production promised Day they’d talk with a supervisor in the morning about what Frank did. They need to shut that down now.
Nominations and Roadkill are all coming up on Friday so we’ve got a lot of spoilers ahead. Stick with us for the results.
