'Big Brother 18' Spoilers: Heads Of Household Quickly Regret Their Nominations [VIDEO]
The dynamic in the Big Brother 18 house right now can only be described as a mess.
Heads of Household: Natalie Negrotti and Michelle Meyer
Nominees: Paul Abrahamian and Victor Arroyo
Other houseguests: Corey Brooks, James Huling and Nicole Franzel
Natalie's suspicious feelings about Paul continued into Friday, with the HOH telling James that Paul has been eavesdropping on her conversations and showing suspicious behavior overall. James supported Natalie wholeheartedly and agreed with her that they would have an easier time beating Corey and Nicole in competitions than Paul and Victor.
Before the Nomination ceremony, America's Care Package was awarded to Michelle. The Care Package allows Michelle to become co-HOH with Natalie, giving her safety, the power to nominate one houseguest and nominate another if that houseguest is given the Power of Veto. Of course, that also means Michelle won't be voting in the eviction.
As such, only three houseguests will be eligible to vote. Natalie discussed this with James, Nicole and Corey about how they can control the vote in any scenario. If they were to nominate Paul and Victor and one of them won the Veto, Natalie or Michelle would just put up Corey and then James and Nicole would hold the majority and send home the other person.
Natalie presented her plan to Michelle, who was initially hesitant considering she wants to get out Nicole, but it took very little convincing to get her on board. Michelle went along with Natalie's plan, saying she's been suspicious of Paul and his game for weeks now. Shortly before the Nomination ceremony, Natalie chose to come clean to Victor about her and Michelle's plan to nominate him and Paul. Victor was confused and tried to reaffirm their deal to get out Corey and Nicole but it did not seem to work.
After the feeds returned from being blacked out, it was clear that Nicole and Michelle had nominated Paul and Victor for eviction. Paul was not happy, threatening that he hoped for their sake that he didn't win the Power of Veto.
Paul confronted Natalie and Michelle privately, saying he was committed to the plan to stick together as five. Natalie asserted that he's still a threat, but failed to come up with many concrete reasons for nominating him and Victor. Michelle felt even more guilty about the nominations, essentially saying she wished they could target Corey and Nicole instead.
Michelle openly admitted to both Paul and Victor that this plan isn't what she wanted and that she felt guilty and stupid for being manipulated by Corey and Nicole. Both said that it would be water under the bridge and that they were sticking to the five.
Later in the night, Paul openly called out Nicole in front of the house, asking what she thought he was lying about. She put everything on what Paulie told her about Paul, which caused Paul to be more direct in saying that Nicole was really the manipulative one here.
By the end of the night, both Natalie and Michelle were regretful of their nominations but agreed that their next course of action would be to backdoor Corey and get him out of the house. Of course, this all depends on Corey or Nicole not winning the Veto, scheduled for today.
Big Brother 18 airs another new episode Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
