Theres only room for one person on that podium when youre receiving gold.
Unless its like, team gymnastics or a relay or…you get the point.
When youre sitting at the top, especially the top ofBig Brother, its a dangerous place to be.

Even when its not lonely, its uncertain, which is where we find ourselves this week.
And then theres Paulie, whos low-key running too many players to count.
Natalie is ruthless, yall.
Not because I hate Paulie.
And not because I love Meech.
But becauseBig Brotherworks best with an underdog.
As Paulies empire begins to see its first cracks, Paul isnt helping matters in the HOH room.
Victor loves the idea because like any bully, hes just excited to have friends who think hes cool.
Guess who isnt a big fan of that plan?
In another room, Zakiyah is looking for reassurance from her pseudo-boyfriend that shes safe.
Take a drink if you just thought of a high-school relationship.
Thats exactly how he wants to use those votes, too.
Unfortunately, unless theres a giant shift, that probably means hell use them to Paulies benefit.
The last houseguest whose veto remains in the house wins.
Meech hides hers in her dog costume while Victor places his in Bridgettes duffel bag.
Nicole hides hers in the popcorn machine.
And Paulie puts his inside the table.
After a while, it becomes obvious that everyone is kind of awful at this game.
Just like all other high-school politics, the hot jock pulls it out.
Zakiyah is so happy, but no one knows why.
With the veto awarded, the houseguests go back into the house and realize its been torn to shreds.
Zakiyah takes note of Paulies neck, kissing it with celebration smooches.
Paulie is still not having this Zakiyah-eviction talk, but hes not making big friends with anyone, either.
But he doesnt, leaving both girls on the block.
