==History

Being Targeted

In week one, it was clear that the Returners were outnumbered. They were clearly going to be targeted, and an alliance was formed - The Revolution - in order to take them down. The alliance consisted of Paul Abrahamian, Jozea Flores, and Victor Arroyo. Due to this, the Returners created an alliance with four other houseguests - Corey Brooks, Tiffany Rousso, Michelle Meyer, and Zakiyah Everette - and thus, the 8-Pack was formed.

Success

In Week One Nicole was crowned Head of Household, proving to be very beneficial for both the returners and the 8-Pack. Jozea entered Nicole's crosshairs when he told Da'Vonne - a fellow returner - about his and his alliances plan on targeting Nicole the following week, then James, then Frank, then blatantly admitted to going after Da'Vonne. Da'Vonne went to Nicole with this information, and he was the new target. At the nomination ceremony, Nicole nominated Jozea and Paulie, with the latter being the pawn. When the roadkill twist was revealed, Frank came to power and nominated Paul as a second pawn against Jozea. At the Veto competition, Paul came victorious and took himself off the block. Frank put up Bridgette as the replacement nominee, and Jozea was subsequently evicted in a 7-4-0 vote, with Paulie receiving the other four votes.

The next week Paulie was crowned HOH, but proved to not have any beef against Nicole. He went after Victor, and set up a plan to backdoor him. At the nomination ceremony, Paulie nominated Bronte and Paul as pawns. Victor ended up winning the Roadkill and nominated Tiffany. At the Veto competition, Paulie won and took Paul off the block, and subsequently nominated Victor in his place, resulting in his eviction in a 9-1-0 vote.

Frank's Cause to Downfall

At Week Three, many females were offended by Frank's claims against Da'Vonne and Zakiyah. Frank called Da'Vonne a "slut" and told her to "shut up woman." He had also slapped Zakiyah's butt and called her chubby. Da'Vonne was at her breaking point when Frank spanked her, and she yelled at him. She went to the Have-Not room and also the Diary Room and cried, to which Frank subsequently apologized. Da'Vonne set her target on him instead of Tiffany, vowing to take him out next week due to his personal offenses against her.
