BB18: Second HoH, Nominations Blog Party - August 14

Hamster watchers ready? For those without the live feeds, we've been promised some of the brouhahas going into last week's double eviction!

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be constantly updating this entry. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area!

Okay, the recap's over. Let's get into this!

After Bridgette goes, Michelle cries. Nicole claims she never wanted a deal with her -- she just wanted to see where she was so she could make some decisions. Paulie is mad at Natalie because she told Zakiyah that she was being played by him. 

Natalie told all the dirt on Paulie, so Zakiyah went to Paulie (obviously before eviction). He lies to her face. He tells Z that he doesn't like Jersey Girls and that's what Natalie is to him. Yet, Natalie knows he's gone further than flirting with her. She tells James about it. He's not happy. 

Paulie is so smug as he tells Natalie she's going home next and makes nasty sexual comments about her chest. She tells Paul, Bridgette and James. That's not behavior James can abide by! Bridgette, Paul and James talk to him. Zakiyah left the room soon while Corey sat there with his vacant-eyed look. 

This is showing how Paulie has been all along on the live feeds -- smug and arrogant. He ends up left in a room with Paul, Victor and Bridgette just staring at him. Paul decides to ditch him. He tells us, not Paulie.

James tells Paulie, Nicole and Corey that he's voting Z out. Paulie is in shock. He runs to Paul and accuses him of knowing that Z is going. Paul denies knowing anything about the flip. Paulie continues going on his rant. When James tells him he's an aggressive person, Paulie threatens that he's next out.

They sort of make up, Paulie and James. But, not really.

The HoH has Benny the BB Squirrel, Hollywood Squirrel. It's done in rounds, seeing a video presentation and answering questions.

Round 2 picked by James --

Round 5
James against Victor. Victor wins, James eliminated

Round 6
Paul against Victor. (Paul tells us he'd rather Victor win.)
Victor wins HOH!

Paul wants Victor on the block. Paulie wants the girls targeted. Paul and Victor talk, Paul tries to convince Victor he even has a good reason to put Paulie on the block -- it was Paulie who backdoored him. Paul is Victor's social game, going to talk to James about Paulie and Corey going up. James is on board with the plan.

The care package has arrived! It hit Natalie as it landed! It's for Nicole. She has the power of Super Safety - safe from the block this week. She has a costume and everything.

James tells Natalie that Paulie and Corey will be nominated. She talks to Victor and Paulie, promising to get Michelle in with them. 

Nominations ceremony --
Victor nominates Paulie and Corey. Paulie, strongest competitor, has to go for it. Corey, guilty by association. 

Paulie cries in the Diary Room. So sad, huh?
