'Big Brother 18' Spoilers: James Completely On Corey & Nicole's Side Now? [VIDEO]
The Final 5 deal that formed in the Big Brother 18 house seems to be no more at this point.
Heads of Household: Natalie Negrotti and Michelle Meyer
Nominees: Paul Abrahamian and Victor Arroyo
Other houseguests: Corey Brooks, James Huling and Nicole Franzel
Paul won the Power of Veto competition on Saturday, allowing him to save himself from being evicted. Natalie's original plan was to have Paul be evicted, with Victor as the pawn, but with Paul winning Veto, a new plan needed to be formed.
It's now up to Michelle to nominate someone in Paul's place, considering she put him up on the block originally. Michelle has been talking about wanting Nicole out for several days now, but considering James has somewhat of a good friendship with Nicole, it's been said that it might be safer to nominate Corey instead.
However, James has quickly become closer with Nicole and Corey ever since Natalie won HOH, to the point that he is now hoping they can be the Final 4. So at this point, even if Michelle nominates Corey, James would probably still vote to evict Victor, as would Nicole, which would send him out of the house for the second time.
It became clear to Michelle that James wanted to save Corey and Nicole at least one more week, but this is not in Michelle's best interest for her game, so she went to work on him. She told James that there's the possibility of a returning juror, which would make voting out a competition beast like Victor not very smart, to which James expressed doubt. She also said that Paul would be going after James if he voted out Victor.
There's still plenty of time before Thursday's eviction, but the way things are going, it looks like Victor might be taking his second trip out the door. However, his competition prowess cannot be denied and we may see him walk right back in at the end of the night, this time feeling even more betrayed than ever. If this is the case, James and Natalie should be scared.
Big Brother 18 airs another new episode Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
