There's a new Head of Household in the Big Brother 18 house and we could be in for another game-shifting week.

Head of Household: Natalie Negrotti

Other houseguests: Corey Brooks, James Huling, Michelle Meyer, Nicole Franzel, Paul Abrahamian and Victor Arroyo

The live feeds returned quickly after Thursday night's episode, with Natalie finding herself upset about some of Paulie's comments. She, Michelle and Paul all agreed that Paulie said a lot of things to mess with them.

But Natalie was lingering on the idea that Paul might be a good person to target next considering his social game. Nicole reinforced this to Natalie and James by saying Paul might be the new Paulie, as far as someone clearly running the house.

The Head of Household competition was held and when the feeds came back from blackout, it was clear that Natalie had won! Not only is this her first HOH of the season, it's also her first competition win of the season.

Michelle, Paul and Victor were wary of Nicole talking to Natalie and James, with Paul and Victor unsure if Natalie might target them. Victor did warn Natalie shortly after her win that Corey and Nicole would be in her ear a lot. Unfortunately for Victor, Natalie seems convinced that Paul needs to go.

Natalie and James strategized with Nicole and more or less agreed to work together, along with Corey. When Natalie and James spoke privately, they decided it would be best to nominate Paul and Victor, despite Natalie having to get blood on her hands by doing this. However, they also talked about waiting to see what happens with America's Care Package first.

As of right now, Michelle, Paul and Victor don't know about the extent of Natalie and James' plan. However, there is still plenty of time for Natalie to change her mind assuming Paul or Victor wins the Care Package. After all, both James and Natalie are very concerned about what the American public are thinking.

Big Brother 18 airs another new episode Friday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
