'Big Brother 18' Week 11 News, Spoilers, Updates: Heckler Reveals James-Nicole Pregame Show Alliance; Has JaTalie Broken Up?
Like Jericho's walls against the trumpets, all hell broke loose in the "Big Brother 18" house after a fan with a bullhorn blew up James Huling and Nicole Franzel's pregame show alliance. This sparked a fight between James and his showmance half, Natalie Negrotti. If the tension from the previous days of being on the block together has not damaged their "relationship," this revelation would completely decimate them, as Natalie and Nicole have been fighting since forever throughout BB18.
What went down
On Tuesday night in Week 11, James, Natalie, Victor, and Paul were hanging out in the backyard when they suddenly hear a voice on a megaphone. At first no one could make it out, but the BB18 heckler just kept repeating "James and Nicole: pregame alliance! James and Nicole: pregame alliance!"

As soon as Natalie realized what was being said, production was cut for about 30 minutes. Then, the BB18 Live Feeds revealed that James and Natalie apparently broke into a huge fight during the hiatus, with Natalie now in bed alone. James was talking with the other houseguests about what went down. He revealed that he had started "unloading" and calling out Natalie for everything he's been feeling lately: that he is doubting her feelings for him, and that he knew that she tried to throw him under the bus for Paul Abrahamian and Victor Arroyo.
Around 2 a.m., though, James went up to apologize to Natalie, who then defended herself against his earlier comments. She said she did not campaign against him and that when she said she had trusted the wrong people, she meant Nicole, not James. She also assured James her feelings for him were real, but did not want to get super attached to him as she lived in New York while he in Texas.
James, for his part, assured Natalie that he and Nicole had never had a pregame show alliance. He clarified that the only alliance they have talked about was their Final Four (which went down the drain as soon as Nicole and Corey Brooks flipped them for VicPaul). But then they started arguing again about the time Nicole cuddled up to James to get Natalie out, before the two decided to break it off completely. Natalie then talked to the feeds cameras and told viewers to never enter a showmance if they get in the Big Brother House.
What this could mean
By the looks of it, it seems that the other houseguests are still targeting Natalie for eviction from the BB18 house. After everything that's happened, Natalie is just completely relieved and psyched to go home, and even went ahead to production to ask if she can exit already. However, she was told in the Diary Room to sleep on it first.
As of now, Paul is the only vocal houseguest who will vote against James. It's likely Victor will vote against him as well, given how James's deciding vote booted him out of the house two weeks ago.
What do you think? Has the JaTalie ship sunk? Will Natalie survive James this week? Tune into the BB18 Live Feeds for more!
