Michelle has been angling for Bridgette to go this week over Frank and we knew just what it was that has Michelle hard pressed to get Bridgette out the Big Brother 18 door. This morning the two Houseguests found themselves alone together and it all spilled out on the Feeds.
Bridgette wanted to know what she had done so wrong to Michelle to make her hate her so much and Michelle was happy to oblige and reveal the source of her frustration.
Flashback to 10:04 AM BBT 7/25 to find Michelle and Bridgette in the bathroom.
We pick right up as Bridgette is apologizing for the alleged eyebrow comment (6/27 at 12:18 AM Cams 3/4 – Bridgette joked “we’d shave her eyebrow… I’m just kidding” & Paul says he’d shave off both and glue them back on). Bridgette doesn’t like hearing that Michelle has been saying mean things about her. Michelle admits to saying mean things because she’s a bitter person.
Michelle doesn’t like how Bridgette acted all sweet at first and then she hears she’s actually saying mean things which makes her think Bridgette is two-faced. She also doesn’t like how Bridgette’s voice inflection changes in conversations. I have no idea.
Bridgette points out Michelle is upset over allegedly said things while she’s upset over mean things Michelle fully admits to saying about her. Heh.
What’s really going on? Is the deep rooted issue here jealousy? At 10:13 AM BBT Michelle mentions that she was close with Frank then Bridgette “swooped in” and took him. Last night when Michelle was talking with Frank she told him if both he and Bridgette stayed then Michelle would be sidelined while those two were close. Frank had told her it didn’t have to be that way, but I guess she doesn’t believe him. Michelle admits “I definitely got jealous.”
Now if the eyebrow comment wasn’t enough, we’ve got another log to throw on that fire.
Bridgette tells Michelle that she has been very kind to her and even defended her along with Natalie when someone attacked her appearance. This is news to Michelle. She wants to know what was said, but Bridgette won’t elaborate. Well guess what Michelle doesn’t let go.
We know this was Paul’s comment that Michelle looked like Buzz Lightyear after he took off his helmet and thought he’d die. A bizarre comment, but he said it. Flashback to 6/27 at 12:17 AM BBT Cams 3/4 to watch it play out. We’ll discuss that again in a moment.
Michelle and Bridgette close out their talk with Bridgette saying Michelle doesn’t have to like her, but she shouldn’t say such mean things about her anymore.
Jump forward to 10:40 AM BBT and you’ll find Michelle retelling the conversation to Da’Vonne and James. The appearance comment comes up, but they don’t know who it was though Day says she did hear that Bridgette defended Michelle in that situation.
Natalie arrives outside where they’re talking so Michelle calls her over and asks what happened. Natalie confirmed that someone did mock Michelle’s appearance but she can’t remember who it was other than it was someone who hung out with Jozea. That narrows it down to Paul and Victor. Michelle is seriously stressed to figure this out.
Before much longer Veto Ceremony arrives. Michelle decides not to use her medallion, just as she planned, and the noms stay the same. With that out of the way Natalie has a miraculous recovery of her memory.
Flashback to 11:30 AM BBT as Natalie tells Michelle it’s all coming back to her. The appearance comment was about a Toy Story character before narrowing it down to Buzz Lightyear. Natalie still won’t say if it was Victor or Paul who said it.
Michelle starts revealing more of her earlier talk with Bridgette and mentions Bridgette suggested James also said something not too nice about Michelle. Well that didn’t sit well with Natalie as even more of her memory returns. She tells Michelle that Bridgette did not defend Michelle against the Buzz Lightyear comment. She’s now gone from not remembering who said something or what was said to remember specifics of a conversation from a month ago. So did Bridgette defend Michelle? Nope.
If you watch the Buzz comment from Paul (6/27 at 12:17 AM BBT) Natalie tells him he can’t say things like that while Bridgette just laughs and laughs with a shove on his shoulder. She certainly didn’t rush to condemn Paul for his comments and enjoyed several laughs about it when he continued repeating the comparison.
Michelle finally got to confront Paul about it at 12:05 PM BBT this afternoon. Paul walks outside and Michelle asks if he called her Buzz Lightyear. “I may or may not have,” replied Paul before claiming it was a compliment because Buzz is a good looking character. He says the comparison was on them both having large blue eyes.
So there’s your petty drama for the day on the Big Brother 18 Live Feeds. Michelle doesn’t like Bridgette for an unnecessary comment about shaving her eyebrow, but is okay with Paul who doubled down on the eyebrows and called her a handsome dude. What a morning and it’s only Week 5!
I’m really curious to see if Michelle tries to build this in to enough of a case to get Bridgette out this week over Frank. She might try but I don’t see it working. Do you think it could happen?
