Paul or Nicole: Who Won 'Big Brother 18'? (Never Mind James)

Your boy Paul Abrahamian or your snake Nicole Franzel: Who will win "Big Brother 18" and the $500,000 prize? (James Huling is still in contention, but his entire game deserves to be stuck in parenthesis.)

Tonight (Wednesday, September 21, 9:30-11 p.m.) is the big finale, and end of a record 99-day season filled with showmances, tears, battles, twists, and the occasional strategy talk.

It's possible BB18's underdog alliance, the Sitting Ducks, will pull out double wins tonight -- Paul with the big win, and Victor Arroyo with $25,000 as America's Favorite Houseguest/Player. Even Julie Chen thinks Victor Arroyo will win AFP, and she's rooting for Paul to win over Nicole and James, saying she was "disappointed" with the gameplay from both vets.

Tonight is the live Part 3 HoH comp, which is Paul vs. Nicole (because Paul won Part 1 and Nicole won Part 2). This final comp will almost certainly determine which one wins the whole game. Last night, Nicole came close to admitting she would not take Paul to F2, if she wins the final HoH. They are both confused about why James is being so chill, like he knows he's being taken to the end when Paul and Nicole have told each other over and over they are taking each other. Now Paul and Nicole assume the other is lying and really plan to take James. Let's hope they do! Whoever sits next to James should have an easier ride. Sure, he has friends in the jury and no blood on his hands, but he has no game accomplishments on his hands either. He might even find a way to throw second place, given the chance. Even Julie Chen said she thinks he was just on this season for sh*ts and giggles. (Or to win AFP again for a second straight season, but he probably won't.)
Here are the jurors who will decide tonight's win:

Da'Vonne Rogers
Zakiyah Everette
Bridgette Dunning
Paulie Calafiore
Michelle Meyer
Victor Arroyo
Natalie Negrotti
Corey Brooks
Third Place Houseguest

Paul, Nicole, or James will join that list as the Third Place Houseguest. James would most likely vote for Nicole to win in any context. He knew and liked her before this season, and they had an "understanding" (pre-season alliance?) going in, beyond both talking to BB16 winner Derrick for tips.

Our one true anointed king, Dr. Will Kirby, is once again hosting tonight's jury roundtable and he called BB18's heap of crazies the "best, most opinionated, most entertaining jury" he's ever seen, but also hinted to some potential bitterness and instability ahead:

"They are confused, conflicted and tormented, which is the sign of a good jury. When a juror comes in to this segment with a set opinion it shows lack of intelligence. A great juror is someone with an open mind because it means that they understand that the show isn't over and they still have an influence on the outcome. So, to answer the second question, they may reward solid game play but they are bitter too! [...] I will state that some that I expected to be bitter aren't and others that I anticipated would be totally objective are very emotionally volatile. Unstable, you could argue."

No matter who wins the $500K and AFP, a new season called "Big Brother: Over the Top" is starting September 28 on CBS All Access.
