The week's Head of Household, Nicole Franzel, served as the tie-breaking vote for Michelle's eviction because both James Huling and Natalie Negrotti voted to oust Paul while Victor Arroyo and Corey Brooks voted to send Michelle packing.
The Big Brother broadcast began on Day 76 with Paul saying it spoke volumes Nicole kept her two nominations the same, because if she wanted Paul to go home, she would have nominated Victor in Michelle's place in order to ensure one of the strong male threats would leave the game.
Corey wondered if he should use his advantage, a bribe worth 5,000 to make a houseguest complete any action or doing of his choice, to make sure Michelle went home next. Corey had to use the bribe before the next HoH competition. At this point, Victor trusted Nicole 100 percent.
James tried to convince Corey to bribe him with the $5,000 for which he'd throw the next HoH competition. Corey didn't understand what the catch was, and Nicole certainly thought it was sketchy.
Corey thought James was a better player than just laying down and dying like that. Nicole agreed and therefore questioned if James was secretly working with Victor and didn't want to win HoH so he wouldn't have to expose his betrayal and nominate either Nicole or Corey for eviction.
Nicole was getting very paranoid even though she was in power this week, as she even noticed Victor strangely following Michelle around. But from a viewer's perspective, Victor and Michelle didn't even speak to one another.
Nicole reasoned with Corey that it would be a good move for Victor to take out his best friend, Paul, because then he could beat everyone else in the house, especially by winning competitions.
Corey -- although he had already solidified a Final 4 alliance with Nicole, Paul and Victor -- wondered if he should use his bribe on Victor to ensure he'd vote out Michelle just in case. Nicole thought it was a good idea, so Corey forced the plan into action.
When sitting down with Victor and Paul, Corey told Victor that he wanted to "solidify" their Final 4 deal by offering him the $5,000 bribe to vote out Michelle. Victor, who had every intention of targeting Michelle regardless, was thrilled and even cried tears of joy.
Luckily for Nicole and Corey, Victor didn't see his bribe as a sign they didn't fully trust him. Paul was excited because it meant he was safe, and he praised Corey for his act of "friendship." The foursome then agreed to keep the bribe a secret.
Meanwhile, James trusted his Final 4 deal with Nicole, Corey and Natalie. He was more than 80 percent sure they'd stick together, telling Natalie and Michelle that the rest of the house was probably just talking about "good times and life." Boy was he wrong!

After Michelle was sent packing via 3-2 votes, she yelled on her way out that Victor was a "buttkisser" and Nicole needed to be targeted because she was "floating her way" to the Final 4.
Nicole expressed to James that her mouth was the exact reason why she needed to get her out this week, because James and Natalie were blindsided.
In her post-eviction interview, Michelle told Big Brother host Julie Chen she's surprised Nicole viewed her as a bigger threat than Paul.
The episode concluded with the next Head of Household competition dubbed "Poached Eggs."
In this Big Brother classic challenge, the players had to reach through chicken wire and maneuver eggs one at a time up the front of the coop, across the top, back down to where they could grab it, and then roll it down a ramp in attempt to knock down one of three targets.
Meanwhile, eagles swooped down from above in attempt to crush the eggs. The first person to knock down all three targets would win Head of Household.
