There were a lot of predictions on who would win the final Head of Household Competition round between Paul Abrahamian and Nicole Franzel. Most of the predictions gave Paul the edge in the competition, but Nicole has won a number of competitions during her two seasons of Big Brother, so we certainly were not going to count her out!
The final round of the last Head of Household Competition of season 18 was the ‘Scales of Just Us’ challenge. Paul and Nicole had to answer various questions from the eight Jury members. The winner would get to pick which of the other two remaining houseguests they would take to the end.
Find out who won Big Brother 18, and who was named America’s Favorite Player in our full finale recap!

Who won America’s Favorite Player on Big Brother tonight and pocket a sweet $25,000 for their summer in the house? Was fan favorite Victor Arroyo rewarded for battling his way back into the house not once, but twice during the season? Or did he once again lose out when the votes came in, this time from the fans instead of his fellow houseguests?
Leading up to the Big Brother 18 finale, all the fan polls seemed to be pretty stacked in favor of either newbie Victory Arroyo, or veterans James Huling or Nicole Franzel, to win America’s Favorite Player. However, it is part of the rules that you can’t win AFP if you make it to the Final Two. Which is only fair, since the person who ends up second already gets a hefty $50,000 prize anyway.
With both Nicole and Paul seriously contemplating taking James to the Final Two as the easiest other houseguest to beat, it was not looking likely James would win America’s Favorite Player this time around.
Which left it most likely that the AFP winner this year would end up being either Nicole Franzel, if she didn’t make it to the Final Two, or Victor Arroyo, the only one near the top of the polls who wasn’t in the Final Three this season.
Interestingly, Paul Abrahamian did not do well in most of the pre-finale fan polls about America’s Favorite Player, so we didn’t expect he would win it, even if he did end up in third place.
So who won America’s Favorite Player on Big Brother 18? Well…

The Big Brother winner for season 18 is finally revealed in our recap of Wednesday night’s special 9-minute finale. We’ve been anxiously awaiting this moment for months, and now it’s time to find out who the Big Brother 18 winner will be, and if lone newbie player Paul Abrahamian can possibly win it all against veteran players Nicole Franzel and James Huling!
Only two of the three remaining houseguests will survive the final phase of the last Head of Household Competition of the season tonight. Whoever wins round three of the final HoH will get to pick which of the other two players will go in front of the Jury with them for the last live vote of Big Brother 18. Whichever one of those two houseguests the Jury members think played the game best — or possibly that they just hate the least if it’s a bitter Jury — will end up winning a half million dollars.
From the last Big Brother spoilers we saw from the Live Feeds, it looked like Nicole was strongly considering bailing on her Final Two deal with Paul if she wins the final round of the last HoH. He, in turn, has threatened her that if she betrays him, she won’t earn his vote if he ends up in the Jury. We’ll just have to wait and see who wins that final HoH round, and if it’s Nicole, which of her Final Two deals she’ll actually stay committed to, the one she has with Paul, or the one she has with James!
After it’s all over tonight, the new, special Fall season of Big Brother Over the Top will premiere on CBS All Access next Wednesday on September 28. The whole show will be available on CBS All Access and the Big Brother Live Feeds, including (or so the network says) FULL coverage of all competitions live as they happen! So if you haven’t signed up for your CBS All Access pass yet, be sure to go ahead and grab a free week and you can watch the post-finale backyard interviews on the Live Feeds, and be all ready to go for next week’s BBOTT premiere!

Who won Big Brother tonight and will be going home a half million dollars richer than when they started this grueling reality TV slog over three months ago? In the end it all came down to two repeat veteran players, James Huling and Nicole Franzel, versus newbie Paul Abrahamian.
Before the final round of the last Head of Household Competition of the season, speculation was rampant about which houseguests would end up in from of the Jury together for the live vote on Wednesday night. While there was a lot of talk on all sides of Final Two deals, no one could be sure of anything until the winner of the third round of the final HoH was crowned, and they named their ride along to the big finale.
Nicole Franzel pretty much made a Final Two deal with both James Huling and Paul Abrahamian at different points. Although the only one she really talked about the past few days was the one with Paul, and basically didn’t talk about much of anything with James.
However, before the Big Brother Live Feeds went dark for the season, she whispered to the cameras that it would be ‘stupid’ to take Paul to the end because he was sure to beat her. Besides which, she was certain Paul wasn’t going to take her to the end if he won, because he had to know he’d more likely win over James than her, right?
In our best guesses scenarios, we decided that Paul would most likely win the season, if he made it to the Final Two, with Nicole as the second most likely, and James least likely to win. So what happened and who won Big Brother tonight and did we make the right pick? Well…
Join us for our live announcement of who won Big Brother 18 as soon as the Jury votes are cast! Meanwhile, you can follow along with what’s happening during the finale show in our live recap starting at 6:30 PM PT/9:30 PM ET.

I feel like such a bad person for saying this, but I was really living for the feud between Bethenny Frankel and Luann de Lesseps during the last Real Housewives of New York season. I feel a little guilty being so entertained by the tough times in people’s lives, but then again that is the whole purpose of them being on a reality show.
Although Bethenny can be super harsh, I still think it’s strange that Luann is so mad at Bethenny for letting her know that husband-to-be Tom D’Agostino was making out with another women just a week after they got engaged. So obviously, Bethenny is not getting invited to that wedding, not that she would want to go anyway.

It’s obvious The Countess is very sensitive when it comes to her public image. She seemed more upset about people finding out that Tom cheated on her than by him actually cheating on her. In my opinion, hating on Bethenny was just a scapegoat to escape the real issue at hand: Tom being shady as hell.
Obviously if this was one hundred percent real life, Lu and Bethenny would have nothing to do with each other, but since they are costars on the same reality show, I wonder if the Skinnygirl founder would go to Luann’s wedding. Surprisingly, she would attend, but only based on two (hilarious) conditions.

In an interview with People, Bethenny talked about her feud with Luann – obviously – but the thing that really struck me wasn’t the comments about Luann shooting the messenger that we’ve all heard and read before. Rather, it was when Bethenny was asked if she would go to Luann and Tom’s wedding.
Bethenny said, “I would go to Luann’s for a very steep appearance fee.”
I don’t even think that was a joke. And I’m sure that Bravo executives actually would pay for Bethenny to be present and share her commentary on what is bound to be a ridiculously over-the-top wedding.
Not only did Bethenny say that, but she also added, “I would gladly sponsor the wedding with alcohol. And I will gladly take – now because I am sponsoring the wedding – a discounted appearance fee.”

I’m dead. I know that Bethenny’s sense of humor is not for everyone, but that comment made me laugh so much. I would laugh so much to see Luann and Tom exchanging vows in front of a step-and-repeat with the Skinnygirl logo all over it.
I feel like Luann is the type of Housewife to want her wedding on Bravo, so I wouldn’t be shocked if part of that would be requiring her to have the Real Housewives of New York cast members present. That’s what I would love to see and I hope it happens.

Kiefer Sutherland is going from saving the country to running it for ABC's Designated Survivor. He's hanging up his Jack Bauer gun and comfortable running clothes for some presidential...In the final Big Brother spoilers from the Live Feeds before they went dark for the end of the season, newbie player Paul Abrahamian warned veteran player Nicole Franzel that if she betrays their Final Two deal — he will refused to vote for her to win.
This threat comes on the heels of Nicole secretly whispering to the Big Brother Live Feeds viewers that she is very much considering going back on that deal and taking fellow veteran James Huling to the final two if she gets the chance.
Nicole Franzel and Paul Abrahamian have been acting like the best of buddies, both guaranteeing each other that they locked into a Final Two deal season 18. If Paul wins the final round of the last Head of Household Competition, he has promised Nicole he will take her to the end, and vice-versa. However, Nicole has revealed in secret camera talk to the Live Feeds watchers that she has serious doubts about her ability to win in the Final Two against Paul.
On Tuesday, around 5:30 PM BBT in the Lounge, Nicole told the viewers that while she would have stuck with her “ride or die” Corey Brooks until the end, she’s not feeling this Final Two deal with Paul may be the best game decision. (It’s not!) In counting up her possible Jury votes, she thinks it’s not looking so good for her in that scenario.
A bit later, Nicole once again camera talks again from her bed, saying that she does not believe she can beat Paul if she is in front of the Jury with him. In fact, she says she’d vote for him over herself if she was a Jury member! She whispers that “he” (we are assuming Paul from the context) is “not dumb” and surely must know she wouldn’t take him, and she doesn’t think he would really take her to the end either, so she doesn’t know why she’s feeling guilty about it.
No, Paul is not dumb, and he totally must know that it would be a better game move for Nicole to take James to the Final Two if she wins the last phase of the final Head of Household Competition. Which is why he finally just got very direct with Nicole last night just after 9:20 PM BBT. After joking about making a ‘blood pact’ on their Final Two deal, Paul gets down to a nitty gritty discussion about how he would feel about Nicole betraying him and taking James to the end instead, and that it would result in her losing his Jury vote.
“If you just straight up screw me over like that you would probably never hear from me again in my life. Out of straight up just you are not a respectable player in my opinion,” Paul said. He went on to say that if he were to betray Nicole by taking James instead of her, then he certainly would not expect her to vote for him in the Jury because that would be stupid. Basically, pretty much making it clear that if she betrays him that way, he won’t be “stupid” and vote for her after he turned on her.
In counting her votes repeatedly over the past few days, Nicole feels like she may need Paul and Victor to vote for her if she is going to win over James. There is a good chance that Paul and Victor might vote against her if she betrays Paul in the end by lying to him and then not taking him to the Final Two. Even though, really, it would be the best game move for Nicole as she is far more likely to win over James than Paul with most of the rest of the Jury votes.
If Paul and Victor did vote against Nicole, it would be a nasty and bitter Jury move that didn’t reflect who had the better game play between James and Nicole, especially in the end. Even so, in a match up between James and Nicole, we’d still have to give it to Nicole, because James really did very little of anything all season long to earn the win for himself.

Survivors ready? It’s about that time folks, as the world’s greatest Reality TV competition show is back for its 33rd go-around. Wednesday night, Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen-X begins (gee thanks CBS, for the short title this season…that will be fun typing out over and over!), with a 90-minute Premiere Episode.
I’m here to get you primed and ready for tonight’s episode and for this season as a whole. So whether you are an oldie-but-goodie Gen-Xer (like me!), an entitled Millennial brat (I kid…sorta), or a Baby Boomer still trying to figure out how to work your DVR, there’s truly something for everybody this season on Survivor… so let’s dive right in as to what you can expect not only from Jeff Probst and company, but from this column.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON BELOW!
First off, I’m new to RealityTea and damn happy and honored to be on-board covering Survivor exclusively for the site. I thought it appropriate to introduce myself and give you a little background, just so you know who the heck it is you’re reading. I’ve been a mega-fan of Survivor from the very first episode of Season 1 back in 2000 (yes, it’s been that long), and have covered Survivor professionally since Season 20, Heroes vs. Villains. I’ve seen every single episode of every single season. Ever.
I’ve appeared as a guest on Rob Cesternino‘s Rob Has a Podcast and I landed an exclusive interview with Richard Hatch during his tax evasion battle years back. I’ve since interviewed every “who’s who” of Survivor, from Hatch to Sandra Diaz-Twine, to Russell Hantz, to Cochran to Coach.
Proudest of all, I’m one of the few members of the press included in the Executive Voting Committee for the Survivor Hall of Fame. Yes, for a nerdy little Italian dude who used to wear a Survivor: Marquesas buff around a college campus, I now have an official vote alongside the likes of Jeff Probst, Dalton Ross, Gordon Holmes and other Survivor producers and press members, in naming those that should be considered the best to over play the game.
I love the game of Survivor, I love everything about it. I’m fanatic about it. To show my dedication, I am writing this article now as my wife prepares to give birth to our very first child, a child that I have jokingly called “Jeff Probst Santilli” throughout the pregnancy. How cool is it that he/she (we haven’t found out the sex) will most likely be a Survivor baby…born on the day of the Premiere Episode of Season 33 of Survivor.
Speaking of that Premiere, there’s a lot to look at ahead of tonight’s big ep. I’m going to walk you through everything you need to know.
So Season 33 is “Millennials vs. Gen-X,” shot in Fiji this past Summer, and much will be made about the generational gap dividing up the initial 20 castaways. 10 Millennials will make up the “Vanua” Tribe (wearing blue buffs) and 10 Gen-Xers will make up the “Takali” Tribe (wearing orange).
RELATED: MEET THE CAST OF “SURVIVOR: MILLENNIALS VS. GEN-X!
But before we get any further, let’s discuss just what these tribes seem to represent. Millennials are the “me” generation, a group of individuals to the fullest extent of the word “individuals.” They don’t like to be categorized, they like to be thought of as independents. Older generations call them “entitled,” “spoiled,” or “lazy.” Gen Xers were also called the “me” generation in fact, but their individualistic upbringing was a bit different…they are more practical-minded (as opposed to the optimism inherent in the Millennials) and they flat-out rejected the establishment (wherein the Millennials often seek to re-write the rules). Similar, as seen from the point-of-view of earlier generations, but unique in the worlds in which they were raised. Or as Jeff Probst says, Gen-Xers built this current world, and the Millennials just have some different ideas as to how it should be ran.
All of this, of course, was just an excuse to skew younger. This season, in fact, is rare in that the concept was developed before it was cast…usually with Survivor, a cast is built and then a concept is derived based on the make-up of those involved. But even though this season was built backwards, Probst has gone on record in saying that it is in fact one of the better seasons of strategic gameplay, and that everybody this season “came here to play the game.”
Speaking of “playing the game,” Season 33 will shake things up with a new twist involving hidden immunity idols. Jeff Probst told EW.com: “One of my favorite twists is what we do with the idols,” says Probst. “Somebody had an idea on how to hide idols in nature and it’s brilliant. And it’s really fun because you’re going to get a clue and it’s gonna say, yes, there’s an idol somewhere down here amongst these shells. Good luck. And you’re gonna look out on a beach full of shells and you will not be able to figure out which one has it. How could a shell possibly have an idol? You just gotta work. You gotta think.”
As always, weather and conditions will play a factor in the outcome, and fans will see inclement weather impact the game in the very first episode, when a typhoon leads to a full evacuation of the island only two days into the game. It’s the first time the game was stopped due to weather, or that a tribe (or in this case, both tribes) was evacuated for safety reasons. According to Probst, the reaction from both tribes to the evacuation speaks volumes about the generational gap that headlines this season.
Does anyone dare to predict a winner? I definitely will take part in this fruitless task, but never before a season starts…let’s all take in the Premiere Episode – Wednesday night at 8 pm on CBS – and check back in next week on those.
Then be sure to check back here following the episode, and follow me on Twitter, @tomsantilli, as I will return to post my first official recap/analysis article for RealityTea. Most of the time, you can expect my recap to be posted by midnight EST following each broadcast, but with a baby due any minute here, forgive me if this first one gets up a little later than what will eventually be the norm.
I look forward to a great season and can’t wait to chat about Survivor with you all through the Fall! And if you’re looking for even more Survivor news, check out SurvivorFever, too, one of my favorite Survivor sites.

Most of the Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 viewers have been following these girls since their days on 16 & Pregnant. And at this point, the fans are super invested in their stories, so it’s not enough to watch episodes that were taped months before. The devoted watchers want to know what’s going on right now with these women and their families. And that’s why I’m sure they’re all thankful for social media.
Most recently, Jenelle Evans shared a sonogram pic with her followers and her man David Eason posted a photo of her baby bump. Clearly things are going very well with this pregnancy and both parents are super excited. And I’m sure that Jenelle’s fans feel the same way.

Even though Jenelle’s face is missing from the shot above, her burgeoning baby bump is on full display in the photo that David put up on Instagram and that’s what I’m sure the fans are focusing on. David also had a simple, yet sweet, caption for the pic: “So beautiful.” Aaaww. Very cute, but not too much. Definitely the appropriate amount of cuteness here – at least in my opinion.
Jenelle posted a picture of the baby girl’s sonogram on Instagram with the caption, “She’s so perfect already” complete with the appropriate baby girl themed emojis, of course. And although there is no further info, it seems like the baby girl is healthy based on the enthusiasm with the sonogram photo and caption (not that I’m a baby expert or anything), which is obviously what’s most important here.

David and Jenelle seem to be over the moon with happiness and it’s nice to see that there isn’t any standard Teen Mom drama – now that the pregnancy is finally confirmed.
