The intended target for eviction in the Big Brother 18 house seems to know that he'll be exiting the house on Thursday.

Heads of Household: Natalie Negrotti and Michelle Meyer

Nominees: Corey Brooks and Victor Arroyo

Other houseguests: James Huling, Nicole Franzel and Paul Abrahamian

With Paul winning the Power of Veto on Saturday, it was assumed that he would take himself down and co-HOH Michelle, who nominated him, would have to nominate someone in his place. Michelle was largely waffling between Corey and Nicole, eventually realizing that either way, Victor would be the one evicted.

On Monday, Paul took himself off the block and Michelle decided to nominate Corey. As such, either Corey or Victor will be evicted on Thursday. With just three votes this week, only two are needed to evict someone, and with Nicole obviously voting to evict Victor and Paul clearly voting to evict Corey, it's down to James to be the deciding vote. James has spoken with Natalie all week about breaking up Paul and Victor, even though they, plus Michelle, were supposed to be in an alliance together.

Victor has been affirming the plan with James to vote out Corey, though Victor has privately talked to the camera about having an inkling he's going to be evicted. Paul and Victor agreed to talk with James on Wednesday to see if there's anything they could do.

Tensions were boiling on all sides of the house on Monday, with Paul getting frustrated by Michelle and her "rude" attitude and Natalie and Michelle complaining about some of Paul's comments. Corey, James and Nicole all agreed to go after Paul next week if they were to win HOH. Meanwhile, Paul joked with Victor that if he won HOH he would basically play "spin the bottle" to decide the nominations.

Either way, the houseguests have spoken a few times about the possibility of a returning juror, though they still don't know about it for sure. Assuming Victor comes back into the house (for the second time!), we could be looking at a crazy endgame.

Big Brother 18 returns with another new episode Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
