He tells her that he isn’t to blame for mocking her because he was just playing along with everyone else and how they called her “FT.” She asks what FT means. He explains but continues to shift blame despite being such a frequent, unprompted user of the term even when she was nearby.
9:18 PM BBT – James, Paul and Michelle are making fun of the failed alliances. She says she can’t believe they made an all-guys alliance and James says what about the Fatal Five? Then Michelle counts how many of the 8 Pack members are left.

Nicole says she thinks Corey’s feelings are just hurt and he doesn’t blame Paul for this.
9:50 PM BBT – Paulie tracks down James and tells him he wanted to give him a hug. He tells him that he wanted to let him know that he and Corey had his back no matter what.

Paulie said what James thought was being shady, was just him getting information to protect his guys. Paulie says he told Victor that if he stays this week, he’s sticking to the five guys. He says Corey would still be down to ride it out too.
9:51 PM BBT – Nicole tells Paul she didn’t really care when she heard the guys were going to take out all the girls. She said she thought it was funny (did she not come to play the game?

10:13 PM BBT – Natalie is telling Michelle about talking to Paulie. Natalie said he told her that Michelle was one of the people who made fun of her.

10:15 PM BBT – Natalie is annoyed because Nicole told her she felt so left out from the girls. Michelle says Nicole acts like a perfect angel.

1:10 AM BBT – Michelle wants to know if the alliance deal they had was fake. Paulie admits it was.
1:15 AM BBT – Paulie tells Michelle he didn’t create any of these alliances and deals but rather they fell in his lap and were offered.
1:20 AM BBT – Michelle tells Paulie his downfall was creating all these deals, getting everyone to trust him, and then never worrying about anyone comparing notes.
1:35 AM BBT – Paulie says if his allies had stayed allies then no one was ever going to be able to stop him. Michelle points out he was trying to play Derrick’s game.

Paulie’s game is sunk and he’ll need to win that Veto on Saturday. He’ll keep working to turn the tide but has promised he wouldn’t campaign against Corey. So far Paulie has put a lot of blame for his mistakes on the other HGs and it’s only been a few hours since his nomination. We could see a whole range of emotions this week.
