Corey goes for a billion
Is Nicole a secret genius?
I have been entirely immune to her questionable charms for two seasons now.
But a big week is a big week, and this is a big week.

She nominates Big Meech and Beardo Paul, putting her two most obvious enemies up on the block.
Little does half the house realize that Paul is now her ally: A finalfinal(final?)
The act fools everyone.

Paul voted Corey out last week, says Meech.
So why is he picking him for the veto competition?
While the players awaited the beginning of the veto competition, they were greeted with a truly gruesome slight.
This weeks Slop for the Have-Nots is…Seaweed and Squid!
NEXT: Its Christmas in August!
The houseguests have been trapped inside their beautiful playpen for a long time now.
They dont know who the presidential nominees are.
They dont know theres a new Britney album.
They still thinkSuicide Squadwill be good.
Time moves a little funny inside theBig Brotherhouse.
Thats why the gang doesnt seem too surprised when the Veto Competition comes with a Christmas Theme.
Pinch me, is this real life?
asks the walkingArchie Andrewsillustration they call Corey.
Paul is even more excited by what he sees waiting in the yard.
I literally did not know reindeer existed!
Thats really Christmas-y, says James, quick on the uptake as usual.
Its a classic skill-or-luck guessing game, with the players tasked with guessing several big-numbered items.
Ive always wanted to go to the North Pole!
The plan is simple: Victor needs to win the Veto comp.
Victor immediately loses, because Victor is literally only good at playingBig Brotherwhen he has been evicted fromBig Brother.
#TeamVic all the way, baby!
This leads to the single most heroic moment of CoreysBig Brotherlife.
But if youre the numberfurthestfrom the actual number, you get kicked out.
(Theres also the option to abstain, which Paul plays brilliantly.)
On one turn, he guesses Santas naughty list is 1 billion names long.
Like I said: Nicole, secret genius?
Will Nicole make a big move?
After winning the veto, she ponders her options.
Take aim at Big Meech and trust Paul and Victor will uphold their final-four deal?
Pull Big Meech down from the block and split up Paul and Victor for good?
Strike against James and Natalie?
All good possibilities, and Nicole clearly enjoys her victory lap.
Its a night for couples in theBig Brotherhouse.
But what of Meech, I ask you, what of Meech?
Alone in her bed, she tosses and turns and obstructs her microphone.
Im sick of myself!
I hate the way I look!
I cant even look at myself!
I dont know why its so long!
Im sick of feeling like this!
The good news: She might not be feeling this way for very long.
Nicole keeps the nominations the same.
Can Meech last another week?
Well find out at the eviction ceremony tomorrow.
