The fighting really amped up in Big Brother 18 Episode 25, and after Victor won HOH, the wheels kept spinning toward Paulie and his actual best friend Corey.
Before he has his breakdown, Paulie asks about the all male alliance that obviously no longer exists. This is news to Nicole, which she can share with the limited number of girls who remain.
When Paul is asked whether he will use the veto if he wins, he evades the question. Paulie suggests that he might use it to save Corey, but Corey is having no part of that.
Victor selects Paul at random to play in the veto competition. Paulie selects Nicole (houseguest’s choice). She is unlikely to win anyway and would save Corey instead, but only Paulie will save Paulie. Corey selects James.
We’re revisiting this silly strategy that rattling people before a competition will cause them to lose. Paul plots to attack and get the others to gang up before they compete. They complain about how bad he is, as they pick a fight as strategy.
The veto competition requires them to shoot beanbags and then choose prizes as they are eliminated. Each spot once hit is out of play for future rounds. There is possibly some skill to this, but luck will play a larger role. This is not the type of competition that favors someone who thinks they can go beastmode to win.
Paul is eliminated in the first round and receives the power of veto. Nicole is eliminated next and trades her secret service punishment of wearing a costume and patting down houseguests every time an alarm rings for the veto. Corey lands on a previously claimed spot and trades his vacation for veto. Paulie overshoots and trades his patriotard for veto. James overshoots and takes the $5,000. Victor wins and trades the requirement to keep baking apple pies for the rest of the summer for the power of veto.
There is no chance anything happens with this veto. Paulie’s a dead man walking and starting to act like Michelle.
