Big Brother isn’t always a very nice game, but it’s surprising sometimes how the smallest of things can trigger an avalanche of chaos in the house. Last night that small thing was then length of Natalie’s pants. Victor wasn’t a fan. It all takes off from there.
The Revolution has been riding high in Fantasy Land and that cloud dipped a bit lower last night after infighting opened their eyes that maybe all wasn’t as good as they thought. Now Jozea is nervous after a round of arguing left the group in turmoil, something that Bronte was sure to encourage. It was also a rough night for some bad commentary, so steer clear if you’d rather not read about that.
Flashback to 1:30 AM BBT Cams 3/4 on your Live Feeds (get the Free Trial).
Natalie is in the back bedroom along with Bridgette, Bronte, Tiffany, and James. She’s upset and getting support from the group. They joke that it’s time for “girl talk” and James is in hog heaven. Victor’s comments are the topic of discussion.
Natalie explains that Victor said, “eww, I hate when people walk on their pants” as he pointed at her pants which were apparently a little too long for her. Natalie said the pants were from her aunt who passed away. Victor said that has nothing to do with it so she shouldn’t try to make him feel bad about it. There’s the backstory on what set this all off. Now for the reactions.
Move forward to 1:40 AM BBT and you’ll find Jozea who has joined the room. There were Fish beforehand so we missed some of their talk. He’s trying to calm Natalie who says she wouldn’t be upset normally, but it’s a pattern of behavior from Victor. James chimed in about the repeat behavior as well. She says Victor is rude to her daily and she doesn’t like it.
Jozea heads back to the Lounge (1:43AM BBT) where he finds Paul and Victor who were just saying the girls get to make comments but if the guys do it then they are the jerks. He comes in and says that James is fanning the flames back there. Jozea says Bridgette is so annoying and he wants to “punch her in her face.”
Victor goes back to Natalie’s room to get her and apologize. They go to the Lounge and chat it out. Victor says he just meant his comment to be about her risking getting dirt on her pants. Seems a little flimsy of an excuse, but he’s using it. Natalie says he nit picks at her every day and she’s used to people being nice to her. She wants him to stop. They hug it out and she goes back to her bed.
Move again to 1:54AM BBT as Natalie is relaying the conversation to the back bedroom when Paul comes in. James jokes “we’re having girl time” and Bridgette repeats the same thing. Paul gets upset and says he’ll cut off his penis. Bronte gets up and escorts him outside where Victor and Jozea are pacing while huffing and puffing.
If you rewind a minute and move to Cams 1/2 you’ll find Jozea and Victor outside. Victor thinks Jozea is overreacting. Jozea says he’s upset at Bridgette and her “feminist power” thing. Hold that thought. Paul and Bronte have just arrived.
Jozea gets ready to complain about what happened when he came to visit Natalie when Paul interrupts that he’s even more upset. He says he’ll scream if he gets told “it’s girl time” again when he comes in to a room. Paul says he’s “constantly getting s**t on” because he’s not a girl.
Here’s something weird. At 1:56AM BBT Cams 1/2 Bronte asks Victor if he asked Nicole on a date because that’s what James is telling everyone right now in that bedroom. This is definitely not true. My guess is this is part of her preseason strategy to cause chaos using the showmances. The guys all get very upset about James.
Seems like Bridgette has a lot of face-punching coming her way from these guys. Paul exclaims that if Bridgette again tells him “it’s girl time” he’s “going to punch her in the face.” Stay classy, Paul.
Victor says he’ll go squash James’s Nicole date rumor right now. Bronte pleads for him not to do so. That’d be because James didn’t say it and she would be exposed. She’s lucky he didn’t pursue it. Bronte doubles down on her lie and presses on.
The Revolution group talk continues as Victor says he’s good now with Natalie, but Bronte says not after James just said that (but he didn’t). Bronte says Natalie said she was good with Victor then James said, “but you won’t be after I tell you this…” Nah, didn’t happen, but it’s an effective lie and the guys all eat it up. What James did say right after Natalie returned from talking with Victor, at 1:54AM BBT Cams 3/4, was “I’m like one of your girlfriends. I just don’t want you to get hurt.” That’s when Paul walked in and Bronte left so we know this was a lie.
Bronte has gone back inside leaving the guys to rant and rave awhile longer. Paul is so upset and Jozea doesn’t understand how this is happening since (he believes) they have a majority and are in control. Paul says everyone just needs to play it cool and stick together, but instead Natalie “let that little Korean man invade [her] brain.” (2:09 AM BBT Cams 1/2) Go to bed, Paul.
No one is going to bed anytime soon though. Remember that lie from Bronte? Jozea asked Natalie about it later and she had no idea what he was talking about (because it didn’t happen). Uh oh, watch out Bronte.
The Revolution alliance, minus Bridgette, regroups in the backyard. Victor has again apologized to Natalie and she seems calm about it. Natalie says she’s looking forward to cooking tomorrow. Paul suggests they poison the food. (2:40AM BBT Cams 1/2) Natalie says she’s not malicious. He offers to spit in the food as well.
They’re getting nervous about the votes now after Jozea reports that he saw a lot of activity in the Tokyo room with HGs awake and he worries they could be grouping. He’s about a week or so late on that, but at least he’s getting there.
Move again to 2:45AM BBT to find Bronte, Natalie, and Jozea in the Lounge. Bronte says, “if we don’t have six votes we’re f**ked… It’s amazing how one little thing can change the game.” They’ll end up thinking Jozea was voted out over this when it was really the plan all along.
Bronte promises Natalie “I would never lie to you” before going on to say she was so upset with James she nearly flew across the room to choke him and adds with a big smile, “I will send you back to Hong Kong.” If you’re keep score at home, James is from South Carolina. Bronte, it’s your turn to go to bed.
Update: Bronte did it again today. 11:28AM Cams 1/2. She says she wants to “kick his Asian ass back to Hong Kong or where ever he came from.”
And just one more discussion of the night before they finally went to bed. Paul and Jozea sat down in the Lounge to talk votes. (3:07 AM BBT Cams 3/4) Paul wants to make sure Zakiyah doesn’t throw a vote against Bridgette to avoid voting against Paulie. Paul wonders if they should just vote out Bridgette instead of Paulie. “She should know that we have the power to do that.” Nah, you don’t.
Jozea is sure he has Da’Vonne’s vote though. Why’s that? Well he’s sure “Day doesn’t want to go to the end with Caucasian people.” Jozea says she was the only African American her season and that’s what got her. He says there’s no way her allies will take her to the end this year, you know, because of their skin color and all. Good grief. Can we just call it a night?
As for things from our view, Jozea is still toast and will be evicted on Thursday. James is now a bigger target for the Revolution and Bridgette is on the outs with her alliance. Bronte is playing hard and fast, probably too early, but we’ll have to see if that keeps the target off her like she hopes. With regards to the off color commentary and threats tonight, these bozos need to get it together and figure out a new way to talk to/about each other.
Just remember, it’s only week one of Big Brother 18. Can you believe it?
