Victor Arroyo is out of the Big Brother house — after three attempts, no less — but he is now the juror with the most insight into what’s been going on in the CBS summer house. Now that he has been backstabbed by Corey Brooks and Nicole Franzel (a game move that he doesn’t blame them for, by the way), Victor has a message for Franzel, who had her second Big Brother showmance this summer.
Note: Spoilers are included in this article .
Arroyo told the Hollywood Reporter the “NiCorey” showmance will end immediately following BB18, unlike Franzel’s 18-month post-Big Brother relationship with her ex, Hayden Voss. In fact, Victor says that his own bromance with Paul Abrahamian will be the only successful duo outside of the BB18 house, and he predicts massive heartbreak for Franzel.
“Corey doesn’t want to be in a relationship after the show,” Victor said, “He is going to break little Nicole’s heart.”
Victor also had some insight into the other two showmances this season, as well as his early, blink-and-you-missed-it, flirtmance with Natalie Negrotti.
“I just didn’t click with Natalie,” Arroyo told THR . “She is just not my type of girl. After that, I realized I’d rather have a bromance than a showmance. It is less stressful.”
“Actually, I thought the showmances were kind of annoying this summer especially when it came to the final six when it was me and Paul and two showmances… James and Natalie, that blew up before she left. Z and Paulie, she might be too controlling for him. Catch up with us in a couple years and I bet Paul and I are still the ones bro-ing it out.”
Victor Arroyo has some inside information on the NiCorey showmance. Two weeks ago, live feed viewers saw Corey telling Victor that he isn’t planning to continue things with Nicole outside of the Big Brother house. Brooks revealed that he and Franzel had both just gotten out of relationships before starting the show and that he plans to be single once he’s out.

What Victor doesn’t know is what has gone down in the Big Brother house since his eviction. With Victor’s bromance buddy, Paul, winning both the Head of Household and the Power of Veto competitions, it looks like it’s game over for one-half of NiCorey, as they are both on the block with no chance to save themselves. James Huling has the deciding vote and he has already vowed to do what Victor’s ally, Paul, tells him to do, as can be seen from the live feed spoilers below.

Victor Arroyo will be happy to see either Nicole or Corey walk into the jury house after tonight’s live eviction episode. Arroyo told THR that out of his three evictions, getting backstabbed by his Final 4 alliance members hurt him the most.
“This last eviction hurt me the most,” Victor revealed. “When I was evicted on Natalie’s HOH I kind of saw that coming before the nominations. This time, I really did have a lot of trust in Corey and Nicole and the fact that they put me on the block really hurt.”
Victor Arroyo told TV Guide that trusting NiCorey was his downfall .
“Throughout the entire game, there was never a point where they did anything to me or I did anything to them. So I didn’t worry,” Arroyo explained.
“When I finally got to a point where I needed them and I trusted them they didn’t evict me and they bribed me and they gave me 5,000 dollars. I saw that as a gesture of good faith and I trusted them. That was my mistake…Being betrayed by Corey and Nicole was worse than being backdoored because I actually saw them as friends and not just a game alliance.”
Victor Arroyo may be right about Corey breaking Nicole’s heart, but as she moves one step closer to the $500,000 grand prize in the Big Brother game—a near sure bet after tonight’s eviction—she could end up with a wad of cold, hard cash as comfort.
