Hi guys!
It’s so crazy to be back in the Big Brother house! I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else this summer! I want to thank all of my supporters for everything. I wouldn’t be here without you. If you couldn’t tell, I’m actually playing Big Brother this time. Last time, I let myself get a little distracted, but I’m here to win this year!
Coming back is kind of difficult. I immediately had a target on my back and felt the need to become the first HoH, which was never part of my game plan, but you know what they say—expect the unexpected. I just hope this move gains the trust of the other returnees and that they will have my back for the weeks to come!
This summer started off so crazy. I seriously I thought I was about to go home Day 1! I’m really excited to play this game with Frank, Day, and James! I loved watching them and now getting to play with them is so awesome. I’m really hoping us four go far together.
Playing on teams is sort of tricky and all of these twists can be overwhelming but I actually think this week will go as planned. This is a new thing for me. Oh, and playing with Tiff and Paulie is super cool. I guess I’m not allowed to play BB without a Calafiore boy. Hopefully it works out better this time, though.
Things change daily in here. The other side of the house—I think their name is "Revolution" or something—they change their target hourly. I can’t keep up, to be honest. They hold a lot of meetings that are the furthest thing from discreet. After the vote this week, everything will be out in the open and people will see where everyone’s allegiance lie.
Also there are so many physical beasts in here this summer. Sheesh! I mean, I need to start working out, but I keep telling myself that it's my strategy to just look weak but, dang, I really do need to start running or something.
I have quite a few alliances going right now. So, we have the 8 Pack, which I feel pretty great about. I’m in the "Fatal Five," which is an all-girls alliance with the girls in the 8 Pack.
Frank, James, Day, and I have an alliance without a name, too! Apparently, the house has no idea we four are working together, though.
Plus, Corey and I have a Final 2 deal—but, right now, I’m just trying to make it week by week, to be honest!
Mom, Dad, Jesse, and Kaylee—I love and miss you all so much. I’m always thinking about you guys and I am staying strong. Please take care of yourselves and be safe! Give my pups some love for me. I really miss cuddling them!
To all of my friends, miss and love you. Mariah, I hope you’re having an awesome summer.
Shoutout to the BB16 cast! I look for you guys in this house daily. It’s so weird playing this game without you! I hope you all are doing great.
Derrick, I’m trying to use some of your moves this season, but it’s harder than it looks!
I truly feel like the luckiest girl in the world to get a second chance at playing the best game ever, Big Brother! Thank you to all of the Big Brother fans out there!
Team Coconuts
xoxo, Nic

Wow! What a crazy experience this is being in the Big Brother house! I can honestly say this is such a unique group of talented, intelligent, and kind-hearted Houseguests I am now blessed to know.
Never would I have thought that I would be able to connect with each person on a level like this, where it feels like I have known them years, rather than days.
I never got a chance to congratulate my cousin and her husband on their future addition to the family. You guys are the best, and I will love and protect that child with every ounce of my being! I want to shout out all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins.
I cannot wait until the next family party where I see all your faces and dominate the can jam and cornhole field. No big deal.
Specifically, I want to tell my Aunt Caren that she is the strongest woman I know and she is going to beat the living hell out of this cancer she's fighting. You are the best godmother I could've ever asked for and I know for a fact because you are a Calafiore.
You will stay strong and you will fight your heart out to win this because you have the support of everyone that loves you—and losing is never an option. Frankie and Riri are blessed to have you as a mother and you know I will always be there for them.
Being in this house gives you a lot of time to think about the things that are important to you and the values you hold dear to your heart.
With that being said, I need to thank my mother and father again for everything they have instilled in my siblings and me.
The sacrifices that you made throughout our lives and the lessons you have imprinted in our minds, hearts, and souls are things I value to my core. I love you both more than life itself and I would sacrifice my beating heart before I lose touch of where I came from and who made me into the man I am today.
o my brother, Cody, and my sister, Angelina, I can only hope I have taught you as much as you have both taught me. I'm not sure where I would be in this life without having two people who are more than just my blood—they are my best friends [and I come to them] for everything.
We are ride or die together and there is nothing that'll ever come between that. I love you both and, just know that no matter what, I got your backs!
Please give a lot of love to the pups, Stryker and Apollo. I miss those happy faces greeting me and jumping all over me when I come downstairs in the morning!
One last thing—he already knows who he is, but Cody and Ange, just be sure tell him that I said, "You da biggest! "

Being HOH is freakin' awesome. The beginning of this week was super stressful. Who knew I’d be so great at throwing tennis balls at a giant fake tennis racket?
Update on the Spy Girls from Spunky Spy herself: I’m having so much fun with these ladies. They both truly have a heart of gold. My plan is to protect them, keep them positive, and take the Spy Girls alliance as far as I can.
Update on me and Frank, the Tank: Frank is a really great guy. He’s hilarious, smart, and obnoxiously witty. He can be a little too loud and abrasive, at times, but I still think he’s charming.
I feel he’s like the older brother I always wish I had. Frank and Mike "Boogie" ruled the first half of Season 14.
When I saw that Frank was a returning player this season, I knew immediately that I wanted to try to work closely with him. He is a beast in competitions—[it's] much better to be working with him than against him. I hope I’m not wrong about this dude because I really trust him.
Right now, I feel like I’d take him to Final 2, if we the chance to go that far together.
Overall, this house is filled with so many fun and interesting personalities.
I’m having a blast learning about everyone. Apparently, "friendship" is Paul's favorite word [but], no, Paul, I do not want to hear about Berlin again. LOL.
James and Nat Nat are super cute together.
Michelle is definitely learning about the harsh California sun the hard way, and I’m totally planning on helping Mama Day to make her dream of an after-school performing arts center in Inglewood come true.
Shout out to Mom, Dad, and Jessica! I love you guys and miss you everyday. Also, please keep my cat alive while I’m gone.
This is Spunky Spy signing out.
Peace.

Wow! Second [time as] HOH [this] summer! I can honestly say that I feel blessed to be able to play this game. This is the most fun I have had in a long time.
The constant competitions that challenge recall, memory, speed, problem solving, and attention are a euphoric stimulation to the brain that is beyond explanation.
I think what I love the most about being in this house is the state of nothingness that exists.
Yes, there is always social and strategic gameplay going on, which is another conversation completely. However, I am speaking about the state of nothingness that the Buddhist monks speak of where there is nothing forcing you to do anything.
You are able to be in a complete space of peace where you can truly understand your mind, body, and spirit.
It is truly a beautiful thing.
Angelina, I couldn’t be more proud of you achieving your master's in psychology! Cody and I always said you were the coolest, most beautiful, and intelligent sibling out of the three of us, and I couldn’t be more grateful to be blessed with a baby sister like you!
You put everything into your studies and you make it look so easy. It blows my mind to think that, a few years back, I was watching you graduate high school and undergrad as a baby. And now I am watching you accomplish so much as a woman.
Life is only just beginning for you and I cannot wait to see where life takes you with how passionate, caring, and loving you are!
To my stud brother Cody, I know you're working your ass off at perfecting your craft, and I know you have the mindset and the will power to achieve all your dreams!
The way you approach your art on a day-to-day basis, with such commitment and passion, will take you to the next level. You know that our entire family will be there with you every step of the way, so you know that you'll never be alone.
A bond that is attached to a destiny to be fulfilled. I truly believe that, when it comes to our family, know that no matter what life will ever throw our way, we will face it and rise above it together.
o all my aunts, uncles, and cousins, once again, I hope I am making you all proud of me and I can’t wait to see you all. You each, individually, as well as a whole, have had so much to do with the shaping of my life.
That’s why I love our family parties so much. We all get to hang out as a huge group and just have a blast. There are no egos and we all love each other, and have each other’s backs no matter what!
To my boys, I know you are working very hard this summer! Always remember to have each other's backs on—and off—the field. You are all family and when a family comes together to work towards a similar goal, they will always achieve it.
All of the sweat, blood—and, sometimes, even tears—you will share together in training and in games will make you all stronger and closer together, as a unit. These are moments that you will be able to take with you as you excel into higher levels of your life.
You are all champions, in my eyes, and I know your parents are so proud of the commitment you put in at such a young age. You make me proud to be your coach and I will do whatever I can to help you all achieve your dreams on and off the pitch!
Lastly, to the entire Rutgers soccer program, it’s just about August, which means it’s almost the best time of the year—RU soccer season.
I will always bleed scarlet—that's a given—but I am hugely indebted to you and your coaching staff. I will always have all of your backs no matter what!
Crush it this season and I will be seeing you soon!

Hello, all you Big Brother fanatics!
I'm back at it again. I want to say thank you to all to my family, friends, and supporters of the show. It has been an amazing summer here in the Big Brother house.
Natalie tells me that I must be crazy for wanting to come back for more. LOL.
Baleigh, I love you and please be good for your mom. I know you're starting school [and] you'll make plenty of friends.
Mike Boogie, I don't know why I keep bouncing checks in the Big Brother house.
This ["Watch Your Dubstep"] HOH competition kicked my butt. I still don't have all the feeling back in my left arm. Five hours [in the same position]!
Jason H., thank you for running my social media while I'm gone. I'll be seeing you soon, but, hopefully, not too soon.
This summer has been crazy. There are so many big personalities under one roof. I also want to say that my gameplay has been different this season.
I've been trying to fly under the radar as much as possible and let my social game carry me through [this] half of the game.
I know I told Jeff Schroeder "no showmances" [before entering the BB18 house], but, hey, things happen.
Shout out to the Season 17 cast—Audrey, Austin, Jackie, Jason, Becky, Liz, Julia, and Meg. Playing the game without y'all this year has been different.
I know I haven't been up to my shenanigans lately and there is a reason for that. I almost got put on the block during BB RoadKill [because] Victor hates my pranks!
Texas, South Carolina, and Big Brother Canada—a big shout out to y'all.
I feel like I sleep way more this season compared to last. I figured it will keep me out of some trouble.
To Wichita Falls, Texas, and Sumter, South Carolina, I know you guys are back home rooting for me!
I don't think I'm going to want to win any more HOHs for a while, but who knows. This house is so flip-floppy.
I love and miss everyone! Jason, please make sure you are taking care of Gizmo!
I love reading comments when I get off the show, so please leave messages and comments!
Love, peace, and elbow grease!
Thank you, America, for voting me as "America's Favorite Player" last season!
James
