Your votes are in on the new Big Brother 18 Houseguests for our preseason superlatives voting and predictions. We asked you to cast your votes based only on first impressions from their initial interviews and bio details as a fun way to see just how well you could read the new cast.
Now as the Big Brother season is about to start we’ll get to watch along and see just how your picks performed for everything from the serious “first evicted” and “season winner” down to the silly “streaker” and “Diary Room screamer.” Let’s get these awards started!
Most Likely To Be Evicted First: Bronte D’Acquisto
Bronte D’Acquisto beat out her fellow HGs for this unfortunate honor with 19.9% of the vote leading Glenn Garcia (15.9%) and Paul Abrahamian (10.7%). Granted, after watching her interview with Jeff I think I’d be glad to see her go too and it doesn’t seem impossible for that to happen.
In the past seven seasons we’ve seen four males and three females go first, so the edge goes to another male, but last season we saw Joey go home for her trouble making ways. Considering Bronte discussed her plans to stir up situations she could put herself on a similar trajectory.
Update: This honor went to Glenn who was evicted during the two-night premiere.
Most Likely To Shout/Scream In Diary Room: Glenn Garcia
Every season someone has to Dan it up in the DR room and this year the presumptive honor goes to Glenn Garcia with 18.9% of the vote just ahead of Paul Abrahamian (17.9%) and Bronte D’Acquisto (15.3%). All three look like they could be good picks for the role, but I could definitely see Glenn, the Big Brother fan, getting excited and shouting away in the blue room.
Most Likely To Streak: Paul Abrahamian
Either fans are hoping to see Paul Abrahamian make this move or they think his “I don’t give a…” attitude make him the most likely to ditch his close and run the house with 25.6% of the vote. He just barely beat out Paulie Calafiore (24.9%) for this honor while Victor Arroyo (17.7%) came in third. If the internet’s archives are to be trusted, Paulie sure likes to spend a lot of time mostly undressed so he may give Paul a run for his money.
Update: Victor took the upset victory on this one during our second night of Feeds.
Most Likely To Start A BB18 Catchphrase: Paulie Calafiore
My lanta, do we really need another overly used phrase to get us through the Big Brother summer? Absolutely not, but you know we’ll get one and readers have predicted Paulie Calafiore with 16.8% of the vote to be our provider. He beat out Jozea Flores (13.6%) and Zakiyah Everette (11.2%) for this responsibility.
Most Likely To Scrub a Toilet with a Toothbrush: Paul Abrahamian
Another category win for Paul Abrahamian with 16.7% of the voters expecting ol’ Paul to pull a BB2 Shannon move and volunteer another’s toothbrush for toilet cleaning duties. If you’re not familiar with that one, then check out the video below for some classic Big Brother. And yes, she had to buy him a new toothbrush, but no, he didn’t use the dirty one.
Next up, the most likely to have a showmance this summer on Big Brother, cause that’s always a great idea, right?
Our summer superlatives continue for Big Brother 18 with the second half of the results from your votes in last week’s polling. Now we’re counting down through the showmances, self-evictions, and pawn moves as we build up to who you think will win Big Brother!
Most Likely to have a Showmance: Natalie Negrotti
Will Natalie Negrotti pick up the McCranda & Chelli mantle to carry on the torch of romance in the Big Brother house? Readers have put her at 22.4% with the top count of votes but only slightly ahead of Corey Brooks (21.2%) and Paulie Calafiore (17.9%). Now I’d say Paulie knows enough about Big Brother to avoid that, but didn’t McCrae know enough too?
All the same, a Natalie and Corey showmance combo doesn’t seem unreasonable. Hmm. Natarey? Coralie? What are our options here?
Most Likely to Ruin His/Her Game for a Showmance: Corey Brooks
Who will pull a Clay and burn down their own game in the name of their summer showmance? Readers are pointing at Corey Brooks with 31.7% of the vote coming out just ahead of Natalie Negrotti with 28.2% of the vote. Considering they both dominated the “likely showmance” poll in the first place I’d have to agree that it could be Corey who falls on his sword to protect the woman he just met a few weeks earlier. Totally reasonable…
Most Likely to Threaten to Self-Evict: Jozea Flores
Meltdowns await us on Big Brother 18 and the Houseguest you’re most expecting to deliver that “I want to quit” line is Jozea Flores with 14.9% of the vote. He edged out Tiffany Rousso (13.1%), a natural choice considering Vanessa was the first to have a complete meltdown last season, and Paul Abrahamian (11.2%) who claims to be a fan but isn’t familiar with needing to shaving his head to survive in the game.
Most Likely to Volunteer as a Pawn: Bridgette Dunning
Little ol’ sweet Bridgette Dunning is who you’ve voted to be most likely to put herself out there as a pawn with 30.9% of the vote. She says she’s a big fan of Big Brother but also mentions it’s addicting and she can’t stop watching it. Makes me think she can’t stop watching those discs in sequester to find out just what this show really is.
Bridgette beat out Bronte (11.3%) and Glenn (11%) of the vote as the most likely sacrificial lamb for the season so we’ll have to see how this one goes, but I’d hope Glenn really is enough of a fan to know you never, ever volunteer to go up on the Block!
Most Likely to Win Big Brother 18: Tiffany Rousso
Ahh the confidence of the sibling vote here as Tiffany Rousso takes the biggest honor in the list here with an impressive 34.4% of the readers’ votes. She seems smart, knows what she’s getting in to, and has the edge of knowing which mistakes of the past season shouldn’t be repeated.
Following behind her is Michelle Meyer (14.1%) and Paulie Calafiore (14%) of the vote. Both of these are great choices too since a superfan, Michelle in this case, has won Big Brother for the past four seasons straight. Meanwhile just as with Tiffany you’ve got Paulie looking to avoid his brother’s mistakes while having the edge of knowing this game inside and out. Great choices with all three.
The new season of Big Brother 18 starts Wednesday night at 8/7c with a two-hour episode followed by a second night on Thursday at 9/8c. Our Live Feeds return following the west coast broadcast on Thursday so be sure to sign up for the Free Trial and be ready to watch online Thursday at 10PM PT!
