After listening to talk both between the winners of the first two rounds of the final HoH as well as their private talks I’m ready to lock in my prediction for who makes the Final Two on Big Brother.
We’ll soon be watching Paul Abrahamian and Nicole Franzel face off in Round 3 after they both took a win in the previous two rounds. That leaves James Huling on the sidelines waiting to see if whoever wins R3 decides to take him on to the finish line. As of now, I’m going to say no one is planning to do that.
Over the weekend we saw things shift from including James in talks of the F2 to leaving him on the outs once Nicole secured the second round. Paul and Nicole spent days preparing for the mental challenge with Paul seemingly dedicated to the cause of keeping James from the F2. Initially it sounded like Nicole might have been wavering as she was telling James she’d take him to the end, but now those talks have vanished.
After the tipsy talk we saw on Sunday night, which is worth going back and watching on your Live Feeds, I was even more convinced that Nicole had come around to settle on taking Paul if she won R3. Nothing changed on Monday for those two, but James did finally catch up with their mindset.
Yesterday around noon Paul and Nicole sat alone in the backyard talking about getting to the end together and their final steps in the game. Right around 12:43 PM BBT we found James eavesdropping on the pair from the hidden safety of the sliding door as they talked about no regrets even if they lost to each other. Whatever he managed to make out from their discussions seems to have finally opened his eyes.
Last night at 8:02 PM BBT we saw Nicole and Paul head outside to sit and chat in the hammock. Both agreed that James seemed to be in a much better mood and each wondered if the other had said something to cheer him up. Meanwhile, at the very same time inside James remarks, “ahh, whatever. I know you all are voting me out anyways. A–holes. Shoulda damn kept Corey. F–ked up.” Yeah.
Well he’s right. Corey told Nicole to take James, not Paul, for the easy win and I think Corey was correct. If Nicole wins R3 and takes Paul I do think she’ll lose, but if she’s making this decision based on her perceived situation of going before a bitter Jury against James who hasn’t really offended anyone then in a vacuum that’s a logical decision. We of course have more information and know things like Da’Vonne coming around to admitting Nicole will deserve respect if she gets to the end, though she may not get the votes if she goes there against Paul.
Likewise Paul will take Nicole if he gets the R3 win. Nothing has changed there for him in the past few weeks. He wants to be at the end against Nicole, not James, but unlike Nicole it appears that Paul is still making this choice for personal reasons. He told Nicole that he thinks he has a better chance against Nicole than James (I disagree) but also because he doesn’t think James deserves to be near the F2 and its prize money.
We’ll need to keep watching the Feeds today to see if there are any final day plan changes, but it’ll take something big to make this happen for either of them. With that in mind I’m sticking with my prediction that our Big Brother 18 Final 2 will be Paul and Nicole as James leaves in 3rd place.
What do you think will happen? Which two HGs will make up our F2 this season? Share your thoughts.
