Big Brother - Season 18 - Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

James, Nicole, Paul and Pauls beard are still hanging in.

The beard must weigh 15 pounds with all that water

Yes, Paul is down. This comp will end any minute.

Both being stubborn. They've agreed not to put each other and their showmance up but Nicole wants a letter from home and James wants to win his 4th wall comp and to not be a Have Not.

James gave the HOH to Nicole. She's promised him and Natalie safety. I believe she'll stick to it.

Let the games begin!

In reading the overnight recaps, I'm not so sure James is safe. Nicole and Corey seem to be under Paul's spell. She was talking about putting James and Michelle up. Nicole wants Michelle out but Paul wants James (or Natalie) out. Nicole wants to wait to see what the care package is and who gets it. Of course, we know it's $5000 to keep or bribe someone with so it shouldn't make a huge difference in the game. Will see what happens.

Corey won the care package, a BB bribe of $5000. He can offer it to another HG. Once it's accepted it is a binding contract and that HG must do what they agreed to do. If the bribe isn't used then no one gets the money. Essentially it's a whole lotta nuttin. (which is why America probably gave it to him)

Does anyone think that Nicole has a real chance of winning the $500,000 prize at the end?  There is just something about her that bugs me.  And, Corey does come across just as Michelle described him, as him not being the brightest bulb in the bunch.  IMO.

And, is there anything other than cuddling and kissing going on between Nicole and Corey?  They are such a odd pair.  IMO.

Nicole could beat Corey, I think. Probably Michelle too. As for the Nicorey relationship, movement under the covers indicates more than just kiss and cuddle buddies. At least that's what I hear. I prefer not to watch that stuff.

If Nicole renigs on her deal with James, I think she will be handing $500k to Paul. Any one have a different perspective on it?

Nicole wants Michelle out. That makes sense because Michelle has openly said she wants Nicole gone. It looks like, at the moment, she's going to put up Michelle and Paul as a pawn. Paul has agreed to this. Nicole has promised Paul safety if Michelle somehow comes off the block. Also, Nicorey and Victor and Paul have just made a F4 deal.

I think under pressure Nicole is a lot smarter than she looks. Hopefully. If I were here I would go with James for the end game.
