The Big Brother 18 houseguests got their target Frank Thursday night and there’s a new HOH this week who is not Bridgette, so surely this week’s target is going to be her, right? Not so fast. Not when you’ve got Paulie running the house. Read on to find out what plans were hatched following the HOH competition.
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.

8:30 PM BBT – Paul asks Corey and Victor if one of them would volunteer to be the pawn to go up against Bridgette so they can have a strong competitor with him in the Veto comp. Victor immediately says no because he is too vulnerable as a returning HG now.

9:40 PM BBT – Paulie and Corey discussing targets for this week. They know Paul wants Bridgette out, but Paulie is hoping they can shift the target to Da’Vonne. He doesn’t want a guy going up as a pawn so they don’t risk losing a guy.
9:43 PM BBT – Paulie feels pretty sure he can convince Paul to put up Da’Vonne and target her instead of Bridgette.
9:45 PM BBT – James comes by and Paulie floats his plan by James about getting Day up on the Block. James says he’s good with that, but he thinks Day and Paul are on better terms than Paulie thinks.
9:47 PM BBT – Paulie warns Corey that Day is pushing to get Nicole up and out. Paulie says he doesn’t want to get Bridgette out right now.
9:52 PM BBT – Paul arrives. Paulie goes right in for it and says they can’t risk having a guy vulnerable on the Block. Paul says it’ll be fine. Paulie tells Paul they need to put Da’Vonne up and get her out this week. Paul doesn’t like this plan at all. Paul is adamant that Bridgette needs to go this week.
9:55 PM BBT – Paul says he wants to put up Victor and then maybe he can use Da’Vonne as a renom, but he still wants Bridgette to be the target. Paul doesn’t want Da’Vonne going up now and then causing trouble for a full week. Paulie says it’ll give her the chance to make herself a target.
9:56 PM BBT – Paulie suggests they could use Natalie as a pawn instead. Paul says to talk with James and Natalie to get their blessing, but he still wants Bridgette as the target.
9:59 PM BBT – James (and everyone else) is certain next week is a double eviction (it’s not).
10:27 PM BBT – Paulie, Victor and Corey talking about which girl needs to go up if Paul isn’t going to nominate Da’Vonne. Paulie says they need to talk to Zakiyah and Nicole and get one of them on the block.
10:29 PM BBT – Paul is annoyed that no one will volunteer to go up next to Bridgette. He wants Bridgette out, but Paulie is still pushing for Da’Vonne.
10:35 PM BBT – Paul gives in to Paulie about putting Da’Vonne up if the veto is used.
10:38 PM BBT – Nicole and Z don’t understand why Victor isn’t going to be the pawn next to Bridgtte. They think he’s the best choice.
10:42 PM BBT – Corey tells Nicole that Paul is coming around to the idea of backdooring Da’Vonne. Nicole says he should put Day up outright “as a pawn.” Corey agrees. Nicole refuses to go up as a pawn and says she’d hold a grudge against Paul.
10:55 PM BBT – Nicole still thinks Day should go up as a pawn but then says Paulie should volunteer since he put Paul up as a pawn. Nicole says she wants Da’Vonne out more than she wanted Frank out.
Feed Highlights for overnight Thursday continue on the next page…
Paul’s search for a pawn continues through the Thursday night Feeds.
11:21 PM BBT – Paul tells Da’Vonne not to worry about this week. He tells her his target is Bridgette and he plans to win veto too. She says she’s not worried about him, just what others will be saying. He again tells her not to worry.
11:30 PM BBT – Paulie working on splitting Zakiyah and Da’Vonne by telling her that Day is just like Frank but loyal to no one. He warns Zakiyah that Da’Vonne is trying to get the couples so she needs to go.
11:45 PM BBT – James tells Paulie that someone else needs to be the pawn instead of Natalie.
11:55 PM BBT – Natalie is upset and tells James if she wins HoH next week then she’ll put up anyone who nominated her. She’s frustrated with how the others are playing.
12:00 AM BBT – James doesn’t like the idea of BD’ing Da’Vonne because it’s not like she is going to win anything. James realizes he’s ranked low in the house with the way they’re treating his ally Natalie. James admits it doesn’t look like anyone is going after Bridgette this week.
12:10 AM BBT – Nicole promising Natalie she’d be safe if she went up as a pawn and that Bridgette is the target.
12:55 AM BBT – Paul tells his allies he still wants Bridgette out this week but agrees to Da’Vonne being the backup target.
1:00 AM BBT – Nicole says she’s willing to go up as a pawn.
1:05 AM BBT – Da’Vonne shows up in HoH and discusses going up with Paul. He promises her she isn’t going up.
1:15 AM BBT – Paul again reminds Paulie that he really, really wants Bridgette out this week just like how Paulie wanted Tiffany out.
1:30 AM BBT – Zakiyah and James are frustrated about Paul not putting Victor up despite saying he wants to put up someone strong.
1:35 AM BBT – Nicole talking with Michelle and wishing she hadn’t volunteered to be the pawn. They’re upset that Paul won’t nominate Natalie.
1:50 AM BBT – And now Nicole is back to offering to Paul that she’ll be the pawn and he can put her up if Da’Vonne is the renom. Paul promises Nicole she’d be safe and he’d use the Veto on her if he wins it.
2:15 AM BBT – After a lot of back and forth over who to nominate as the pawn Paulie has decided he’s the best pawn and offers to go up. Paul agrees and again reminds everyone he wants Bridgette out, but will go with whatever the voting majority wants. Nicole says it’s okay, she’ll be the pawn. Corey also offers to be a pawn because apparently all of them were dropped on their heads.
2:20 AM BBT – Paulie promises to nominate Bridgette and Victor next week if they get out Da’Vonne this week.
2:40 AM BBT – Paul and Paulie discuss their greatness and the awesomeness of their plan to put Paulie up on the Block.
Well that was an interesting night. After Paul takes over as HoH he has no plan for how to get his target, Bridgette, out and is instead led around the nominations circuit and told what to do by the other HGs. Now it looks like Bridgette and Paulie will go up with Da’Vonne as the target. Messy.
