After Paul won HOH in Big Brother 18 Episode 19, he got the weird idea in his head that he just had to get rid of Frank’s little Cabbage Patch girl Bridgette, followed by the idea that he had to nominate his buddy Paulie.
Paulie’s much less stupid plan is to get rid of Da’Vonne instead. Da’Vonne immediately goes to work trying to get Nicole on the block.
Zakiyah feels Paulie starting to pull away as he finds her to be smothering. This could easily be the sort of thing that causes a downward spiral that sends the pawn home, especially with how divided the genders are, and it would also at least put her name into the hat of potential replacement nominees.
Paul selects Corey at random to participate in the power of veto competition. Paulie selects Victor (houseguest’s choice). Bridgette selects Natalie at random. None of these people should be particularly difficult to convince to create a scenario in which Da’Vonne goes on the block.
The veto competition requires them to hold down buttons with their hands until they see the words ready, set, and then go on the screen, then they run across the yard to press a button. Corey moves on the word no instead of go and is eliminated first. Bridgette and Natalie are both pretty slow, but Bridgette is eliminated in the second round. Natalie unsurprisingly is the next one out. Paul is eliminated in the fourth round. Paulie beats Victor to win the power of veto.
The plan is falling into place, and Da’Vonne proves why, launching back into attempts to get Nicole nominated alongside Bridgette.
Zakiyah warns Paulie that Paul could win this game. He was already unsure about her, and that was a big mistake.
This is all just drama. Da’Vonne’s still the target, no matter how many people open their big mouths or if she throws person after person under the bus.
