Paulie Calafiore -- 11 things to know about the 'Big Brother' houseguest

Paulie Calafiore seemed to be playing a great Big Brother game up until recently, but now he's on the chopping block heading into the next live eviction.


Paulie, the brother of Season 16 runner-up Cody Calafiore, was running the house all season long by winning competitions, working with his boys and flying under the radar.

However, Michelle Meyer and Bridgette Dunning finally brought it to the house's attention that Paulie would absolutely win the game if he makes it to the end. After that, a couple of heated arguments with Michelle, Natalie Negrotti and James Huling resulted in the whole house thinking he's a jerk and turning against him.

Corey Brooks still has Paulie's back, but he's on the chopping block too. As for P & P -- Paulie and Paul Abrahamian's alliance -- it's over. BB host Julie Chen previously picked Paulie to win the season, but he's in some big trouble now and his game depends on winning the Power of Veto.
