THR breaks down the top moments from this season’s special eviction episode.

“We are about to begin a surprise eviction episode,” Big Brother host Julie Chen tells America and the remaining five houseguests, Victor, Nicole, Corey, James and Paul.

For Corey as head of household this week, he’s guaranteed his spot in the final four. With Nicole’s showmance in power, the fan favorite who has never been nominated just has to win the power of veto in order to keep her and Corey holding all the cards this week. 

For James, he just lost his showmance and while he could have become an easy target he may not only get to the final four, but also land a seat in the final three. For Paul, the most nominated houseguest this summer, if he keeps his cool not only can he be safe, he will also be one step closer to winning the game. As for Victor? If he gets evicted Thursday night it will be his third eviction of the summer. So will Victor be walking out the door once again? We’ll soon find out.

But first, THR breaks down the most twisted moments from this season’s latest eviction.  

“Momma raised a coward.” After Corey makes a big move and betrays his final four deal with Victor and Paul by instead nominating them, he tells the two nominees “Momma didn’t raise no bitch.” That may be true, but Paul has another name for the college baseball player. “It looks like Momma raised a coward,” Paul says about Corey who didn’t look him and Victor in the eyes after nominating them. “I thought that this was a thing. I finally thought I had an alliance I can trust. Right now I can’t see you guys as friends in the house,” Victor tells Nicole and Corey. “If his attitude doesn’t change, he’s going home,” Paul says of Victor’s aggressive response to being back-stabbed. But it’s not over until it’s over and Paul is betting all of his friendship on winning the power of veto in order to keep one of them of them safe. “You bet your friendship I am,” Paul says about wanting to win the “BB Comics” power of veto competition. Who doesn’t win? Certainly not James who comes in last, “I got a memory like a fish,” James says during the competition. His loss may be from his pit stop he takes to admire Natalie’s poster. Who ended up winning the veto? Nicole comes through with the win and crushes her competition. 

“I love you man.” In the final six this season, three duos outlasted the other 12 houseguests: Two showmances and one bromance. And out of the three couples who had the most genuine relationship? That would be this season’s bromance, Paul and Victor. After Victor’s eviction the two shared “I love yous” in what seemed more emotional than when Natalie left her showmance, James. “We meshed perfectly,” Victor tells Chen about Paul. They’re not the only ones who love eacvh other either. After the once “un-evictable” Victor, finally gets evicted he leaves the Big Brother house with a roaring applause, hinting that he may in fact win “America’s Favorite Houseguest” this year. Does he have your vote? If not, he should. “We’re in the last inning and you still haven’t hit first base with Nicole.” … “If you don’t vote me out I’ll beat every single one of you and have $500,000 in my pocket.”

What the bleep? The hilarious head of household competition where clips from the season are shown to suggest the houseguests saying something that deserves a bleep is back. In season 17 this was the competition that last year’s winner, Steve Moses ended up winning and who’s this year’s winner? Looks like your boy, Paul will be in the final three. So who will join him? All will be revealed in tomorrow night’s second special eviction episode.

Fan favorite Da’Vonne, also known as Momma Day, gets a superhero nickname.

The “BB Comics” are back for Big Brother season 18.

While this season of the reality series has brought a slew of new competitions, it wouldn’t be Big Brother without some of the fan favorite viewers have come to know and love. Artists Sergio Cariello and Brad Vancata are back to spoof this season’s cast as superheroes.

On the live feeds, one houseguest in particular was not a fan of his comic. Corey grew upset after the power of veto competition because, while every other cast mates’ comic featured just them, his included his showmance partner Nicole.

Who will most likely be a fan of theirs? Momma Day, or as she is now known in her comic, Day-Struction. According to the tagline for the comic, “a radioactive accident turned Momma Day into Day-Struction.”

Does the title fit? It might since she’s not the best at playing Big Brother, but she sure knows how to stir up drama, entertainment and give some of the best diary room sessions the show has ever seen. See her comic below:

What do you think of Da’Vonne’s comic? What has been your favorite comic over the years? Sound off in the comments section below and vote in THR‘s poll for who you think will win this season. 

Big Brother airs Tuesday and Wednesday at 8 p.m. on CBS.

The juror twist returns.

“Whoever is shown the door might not be heading to the jury house,” Julie Chen tells America about Victor and Corey’s fate in Big Brother 18.

That’s right, the returning juror twist is back. Either Da’Vonne, Zakiyah, Bridgette, Paulie or this season’s fifth juror will get back in the game. And who’s this season’s fifth juror? Let’s get to that later. 

But first, The Hollywood Reporter breaks down Thursday night’s most twisted moments. 

Paul’s paranoia plan. “I don’t like the way James and Nat are talking.” “Dude’s mega paranoid, stop,” Victor tells him.” “I wonder how the conversation will change if we pop in. Sacks of shit,” Paul calls them. After Paul rightfully grows paranoid that Victor is no longer safe he stirs his own plan to get the other houseguests paranoid. Him and Victor team up to create a fake feud between the bromance in order to get the house on board with keeping Victor. And that’s not all. Paul makes sure to buddy up with this season’s snooze of a showmance, Corey and Nicole. When the other houseguests see the bearded bro spending too much time with the cuddling couple they start to get worried that keeping Victor is the better option. But it all came down to one houseguest’s vote. And that’s the self proclaimed Asian hillbilly, James. Did he disappoint? Absolutely. Instead of making a big move by splitting up the other showmance in the house he decided to vote to evict Victor. Is he still a fan favorite? Well, that’s up to super fans everywhere to decide. But according to Twitter during Thursday night’s eviction, the answer is no. 

Paulie needs some pepper. “He’s a sleazy scumbag and has lost my respect forever,” a ballsy Bridgette says about anticipating the arrival of the crying Calafiore in the jury house. And she, Zakiyah and Da’Vonne get their wish. “Praise god!” Mamma Day screams. “I make a lot of people’s day,” Paulie says after Bridgette tells him he made hers. “I said it was the season of petty and catty women,” an annoyed Paulie tells them. “You still got a short man’s complex,” Day fires back. “Somebody need to give him some pepper to go with all that salt,” she adds about a seemingly uncomfortable and bitter Paulie. “I can see sore losers when i meet them,” Paulie tells the female filled jury. “Person to person you completely lost all my respect,” Bridgette tells him. “Being a feminist means I stand up for women. I’m not against men at all. I’m against him,” she explains. “You made some horrible comments Paulie,” Bridgette says again, pointing out that Paulie has called out “his entire state of women” by saying how much he detests “Jersey girls.” “I see where the bitch is, I see where the loser is, he’s here. You’re still a bitch,” Paulie’s former showmance Zakiyah tells him. 

Twist and shout. “We got a package from Big Brother!” shouts Mamma Day. “This Thursday one juror will be returning!” Day reads to the other three jurors. “I’m getting my check!” she shouts. In a summer with twist after twist it may be fair to deem this season as the most twisted of the entire series. And it’s a Big Brother first, with one houseguest getting not one, not two, but three chances to win the $500,000 prize. “You have an unprecedented second, second chance,” Chen tells an excited Victor after his eviction. But will he win his shot back in the game? Not according to the overly confident Paulie, “I want to succeed more than I want to breathe,” hr says about his chance to get back in the game. Day reminds him to be humble after he claims he’s going to not only return to the game, but also bring his suitcase right up to the head of household room. 

Is James still a fan favorite? Which juror do you want to see get back in the game? Before a juror comes back who has the best shot at winning the game? Vote now in THR‘s poll and make sure to stay tuned to The Live Feed for all things Big Brother.
