Later on in the episode, Corey Brooks won Head of Household and nominated Michelle again as well as Bridgette Dunning, a 24-year-old traveling nurse who currently resides in Ventura, CA. After winning the Power of Veto, Corey chose to keep his nominations the same.
Much to Michelle's surprise, the house evicted Bridgette through a 5-1 vote.
The Big Brother broadcast began with Bridgette throwing Paulie Calafiore under the bus by openly discussing with Michelle and Natalie Negrotti how he was running the game and had everyone wrapped around his finger.
Michelle agreed, saying the houseguests were oblivious to the fact Paulie was the house's leader and main manipulator.
Paul Abrahamian then talked to Paulie about making a big move once Michelle was gone by putting Zakiyah on the chopping block next to Nicole Franzel. Paulie, however, was set on getting rid of Natalie first and breaking up her showmance with James Huling.
Paul realized his "P & P" alliance was crumbling because Paulie was only looking out for himself.
Meanwhile, the girls gathered together to ask James if he would use his "America's Care Package" power to eliminate votes for Michelle in order to oust Zakiyah. Michelle, Bridgette and Natalie explained that Zakiyah was a number for Paulie and Paulie had too much power.
Since both Natalie and Bridgette wanted to keep Michelle, James decided he was onboard.
Afterward, James and the girls talked to Paul about how Paulie was the root of everything and has been using his friends to do his dirty work in getting rid of targets that are solely going after him.
Bridgette also told Paul that back on Day 53, Paulie had told her that Corey was the only person he completely trusted in this game. This information confirmed what Paul was already feeling, and he noted their "friendship" just went out the window.
When it became time to vote for the first eviction of the night, Michelle made her little speech and announced that the houseguests would be handing over $500,000 to Paulie if they choose to keep him in the game. She also reprimanded him for not being nice to Natalie.

Paulie was hoping Zakiyah would stay in the house since she was a loyal ally and they also had a showmance going on.
The vote came down 3-2 in that Paulie and Nicole were the only people who voted for Michelle, while everyone else cast their votes to evict Zakiyah from the house.
Zakiyah was holding onto a One-Way Ticket from a previous BB twist, so her time in the game was definitely over and she was forced to enter the jury house. While talking to Julie Chen, Zakiyah was trying hard not to cry.
Zakiyah understood that Paulie just had to do what was best for his game -- although he didn't vote for her to go and truly worked for her to stay -- and she has no regrets. She's also hoping to pursue a real relationship with Paulie outside of the game.
It then became time for a quick Head of Household competition. The players were provided numerical statistics based on how this season has unfolded, and they were required to guess whether the actual number was higher or lower than what was given.
In the end, Corey won HoH and quickly nominated Bridgette and Michelle for eviction.
For the subsequent Power of Veto competition, the houseguests were instructed to race across their lane and over an obstacle to a ball pit at the other end. Three clocks were buried in the ball pit and the players had to find them one at a time and place them in a holder.
The first person to find all of the clocks and a colored PoV medallion would win the challenge.

At the next live eviction vote, Michelle announced she had successfully blown up Paulie's game before insisting Nicole was a "snake" and couldn't be trusted. Michelle revealed Nicole had tried to make a deal with her before the double eviction.
Michelle thought she was dead man walking, but the votes were cast in her favor. Natalie was the only person who voted to evict Michelle, and everyone else voted for Bridgette.
On her way out of the house, Bridgette was shown yelling at someone for doing something "really messed up," but her target wasn't clear. Bridgette also told Natalie to confidently stand up for herself.
Bridgette was also holding onto a One-Way Ticket, so her time on Big Brother had come to an end.
Bridgette told Julie that she probably got evicted because she voiced how Paulie was running the show. However, Bridgette doesn't regret it at all.
Corey was later shown telling Michelle that Bridgette got sent to the jury house because she had been playing everybody and "flip-flopping."
The episode concluded with the reveal of what will be inside the next "America's Care Package." The player to receive the package will earn "Super Safety," meaning that person is safe from the next live eviction and must wear a special costume to put his or her power on display.
