'Big Brother 18' Spoilers: Corey Offers Bribe As James, Michelle & Natalie Remain Clueless [VIDEO]
The BB Bribe has been awarded and accepted in the Big Brother 18 house, while the other side of the house remains clueless about everything that's going on.
Head of Household: Nicole Franzel
Nominees: Michelle Meyer and Paul Abrahamian
Other houseguests: Corey Brooks, James Huling, Natalie Negrotti and Victor Arroyo
Corey and Nicole stressed over what to do with the former's BB Bribe, noting that they might be screwed either way. They were tempted to give Victor the bribe to vote out Michelle, hoping it might shore up their alliance. They also talked about James possibly asking them about the Bribe, which would show their cards.
Corey ultimately decided to give Victor the bribe of $5,000 in exchange for Victor voting to evict Michelle. Victor had tears in his eyes as he accepted the bribe, agreeing to vote out Michelle.
Meanwhile, the James-Natalie-Michelle side of the house continued to shack themselves up in the bedroom without talking game to anyone else. James and Natalie did encourage Michelle to campaign to Nicole, but Michelle decided it wasn't worth it. Considering they have a strained relationship at best, Michelle thought there was nothing she could do.
Natalie and Michelle encouraged James to talk to Nicole about the vote, but in a moment of truly flawed logic, James said him talking to Nicole about keeping Michelle would make them hypothetically flip to targeting Michelle. So essentially, Nicole would flip the vote on James and Natalie, even though James still thinks they're in an alliance. Little does James know that the plan is already in place to evict Michelle, and every day that goes by without James talking to Nicole just cements the idea that she can't trust him.
Unless something drastic changes today, Michelle will be evicted from the Big Brother house after a 2-2 vote and HOH Nicole breaking the tie. Then it's do-or-die for James and Natalie as Corey, Paul and Victor will all be gunning for them if James and Natalie don't win HOH.
Big Brother 18 returns with another new episode Thursday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
