When players return to the game, it makes for a huge change in the dynamics of the house. Victor Aroyo fought his way back into the game just a few weeks ago.  He was understandably a bit annoyed at being blindsided once again from the game. If anyone deserves to be there, it’s Victor.  He’s a competition and social beast. That’s why James ultimately made the decision to oust him from the game. James’ decision to evict him would have been a good one if there was no way he was returning to the game.  We picked up with the houseguests at the HOH/Juror competition. There’s no denying the wall competitions are the toughest on the show.  Da’vonne and Zakiyah clearly made a pact before the competition that they would drop together and that they did. the practically threw their chance at the $500,000 prize away.  Da’vonne returning to the game would signal a huge shift. She would be targeting the likes of Nicole and Corey for eviction.  It’s just a shame she and Zakiyah decided to ride out the rest of their Big Brother experience in the jury house. Poor Bridgette was the final girl standing, but it was clear her knee was still busted from her injury a few weeks ago.  That left it all down to Victor and Paulie to fight it out. Eventually, Paulie had to drop down and it meant Victor was the returning juror.  No one has ever returned to the game twice in one season, so the dude is now on his third attempt at the money. The other houseguests should just give up at this stage.  We were treated to a flashback from before Thursday’s live eviction. Paul called Michelle the c-word and it was meant with a harsh response from their fellow houseguests.  Meech decided to be the bigger person and just walk out of the situation, while James went to battle with Paul. Paul was quick to point out that Natalie and James make all of the same decisions.  Natalie chimed in, saying that she didn’t want Bridgette evicted and it happened on James’ HOH. James then dropped the bomb that he’s not made a decision about evicting Corey.  Nicole was furious and told Corey she was worried about whether she would be alone in the game after the eviction. Corey reassured her and as we know, James kept his word.  If you recall, he almost sent Corey home at the live vote, so his mind wasn’t really made up until he went in to vote.  This gave Nicole the want to succeed, so she went all out in the HOH competition and even indulged in some manipulating.  It came down to Nicole and James and she managed to get James to throw it to her. She promised both him and Natalie safety for the week.  She made it seem like all she wanted was the letter from home, but it was clear she knew she needed to win to keep both her and Corey safe from eviction.  James dropped down, giving Nicole her first HOH win of the season. It also makes me wonder whether Nicole has been throwing competitions all season long in order to appear as less of a target.  If that’s the case, she might find herself winning the whole thing. She’s not sat on the block once this season and has had a hand in most of the evictions.  Maybe Derrick gave her some pointers before she entered the game. We’ll probably never know.  Nicole was quick to tell Corey she might not keep her word to James. She knows James never stuck to his earlier in the season, so she has a great case to put him up.  Nicole then claimed the best person to evict is Michelle and Corey agreed. Heck, even Victor and Paul showed up to agree she was the best target.  That’s when the four of them made an alliance that would take them to the end of the season. It seems like Nicole and Corey are happy to play for third and fourth place.  They just don’t want people who don’t deserve it to get further. That’s a good mentality to take.  View Slideshow: 12 Big Brother Houseguests We Loved… Or Loved to Hate The Final Four alliance was formed, while Natalie continued to pester James about him finding away to save both of them.  Yes, Natalie was not impressed that James gave Nicole the win because she doesn’t trust her. James made it clear that Nicole would stick to her word.  It seems like she might, to an extent. Paul agreed to go up on the block, with Michelle as the target. Nicole’s ideal scenario would be for Victor to win and take Paul down.  That would pave the way for either James or Natalie to go up and one of them would be evicted. It all sounds pretty intriguing.  It’s odd that Nicole is now going back to the person we loved on Big Brother 16. It’s so close to the end of the game, so it would be great to see her get far if she continues to play.  America’s care package was a bit of a wet blanket this week. Corey won $5000 to bribe on of his houseguests to do something.  It would be valid right up to the conclusion of the next HOH competition. It would be great if he got someone to throw the HOH, but there’s a slim chance anyone would agree to do that.  Nicole nominated Michelle and Paul for eviction.  Michelle admitted afterwards that she would have done the same if she was Nicole. She’s been targeting her for weeks.  What do you think about the latest developments in the house? Is Nicole right to target Michelle? Hit the comments below!
