Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Wednesday night into Thursday - July 10

Improving mind and soul?

The night before the live show tends to be a bit quiet on the whole. Perhaps some late night votes scrambling, but rarely a brouhaha. Here's what happened last night (and into the time I'm posting this) in that Big Brother House of Pipe Dreams:
  • They got to practice for the upcoming HoH comp.
  • It looks to be croquet mixed with a roulette wheel kind of thing.
  • They have to go for the highest number of points and there are obstacles.
  • They're allowed to bank shots like you would in pool.
  • Donny read all the rules out loud, but I couldn't hear all of them over the other hamsters.
  • Zach seemed to do well. But, then again, he's a golfer dude. Croquet and golf both have 'em hitting a ball on the ground with a mallet/club.
  • Nicole and Hayden both seemed to do well, too.
  • But you never really know how they'll do until the actual comp.
  • At one point Devin came outside. Obviously, as outgoing HoH, no sense in him practicing although others in the past have done it in fun.
  • Devin ain't about FUN. Let's make that clear.
  • He's about winning the game to give his beloved daughter (whom he hasn't seen for the three months before sequester) a better future as a single dad.
  • Derrick told Zach and Cody he'll put Brittany on the block if he wins HoH. He thinks that if she wins, she'd put them (or, at least two of them) on the block.
  • Cody told Brittany that Zach and Cody are the only Bomb Squad people he trusts.
  • Brittany and Cody agree that both Devin and Caleb have been on a power trip and in charge. They think it needs to end.
  • Oh, I think so, too!
  • Brittany thinks the only way to get Caleb out is to backdoor him.
  • Well, duh.
  • Amber is being tossed in with the dislike of Caleb and Devin.
  • It's all about the company you keep, y'know.
  • Caleb told the others he wasn't working with Amber.
  • Um. Okay, dude. Whatever you say.
  • Brittany denied working with Devin.
  • Frankie is spreading the rumor (based a bit on truth as she did make a deal) that Brittany is indeed working with Devin.
  • Meanwhile, Devin has all but vanished. Now that they're locked down again, he's removed himself from anywhere where anyone else might be hanging out. I guess he's secluded himself in the HoH room.
  • Enjoy your last night in there, Devin. You'll have to mix with the masses tomorrow.

Talking game

Misfit croquet

Having a ball

Is it just me or is Frankie aging rapidly?

Gosh Jackie you are right, he looks very old...stress no doubt.
He was much happier at the beginning.
I am still in turmoil over who I like and who I don't, well Devin I don't like for sure, but everyone else is still a toss up except Donny, I like him alot

I am loving this season so far. Largely due to the fact that there is no one I truly despise nor is there anyone I truly am cheering for.

Chacha said...

I love that the whole house is on to Frankie and he really has no idea. I will give it to the rat Andy from last season, who I didn't like. He did the floating, info getter thing great! Frankie, not so much. Frankie should have tried a floater from other past seasons not one so fresh!

The HOH comp being a croquet game would seem to favor Zach since he plays a lot of golf. I'd love to see him win it and then watch Devin's reaction.

David said...

Donny and Derrick say they can't figure out why America would include Frankie in TA. since his game is so messed up. Come on Derrick, you are a cop, figure it out. He is either famous or related to someone famous is why. Think Elissa.

Holly said...

Devin is really nice to look at but he is totally Cray Cray! He can't keep a secret, he bullies, and he flip flops more than a Kardashian in a bikini! And can you say "paranoid"?? My fav's are Donny, Chritine, & Nichol...and Derrick is starting to grow on me. Thanks for all you do Jackie!

RBennie said...

Iknow I'm in the minority here, but I don't dislike Devin. I think his game is crap, but I don't think he's really a bad guy. He doesn't seem to be very self-aware. He was truly shocked and bothered to hear that people thought he was bullying the girls. I agree that there are no truly unlikeable people in the house for us to hate. I think that's a good thing. I find Donny to be totally endearing. He is touched by the smallest kindness. I would have never pegged him and Pao Pao to become best friends. I have a question. Amber won HOH last week, but was dethroned. Does she get to play for HOH this week? I can't remember what happened last week with Frankie.

Witt said...

RBennie, it seems to me that the HOH who FINISHES the week in power is not eligible to play. Only Caleb had to sit out this week's HOH competition.

Witt said...

Holly, are we secretly related? I like the exact same crew. :)

RBennie said...

Thanks Witt!

really? said...

Jackie can you explain the comment about Devin not seeing his daughter for threeonths prior to BB. I'm quite curious. Thanks!

Petals said...

Really? Just Google Devin Shepherd - there many sources that explain not just his "relationship" with is daughter, but also his rehab stints, DUIs & suspension from Triple-A baseball.

Chacha said...

Devin will be the only one to sit out of this comp.
The croquet hoh you would think would be Zacks to lose but knowing BB as most of us do, this comp comes down to Luck.
If memory serves Elissa almost won it last year and after commercial break Aaryn tossed her ball and won.
I hope the america's choice comes down to a family member was on BB and Zack and Donny can get people to believe Frankie is related..

Sharon N said...

Jackie... funny you should mention "aging" Frankie. I noticed last night that he is looking a LOT older than he did in the beginning and wondered if it was my imagination. Guess not!

Petals said...

Frankie's game was perfect the first 2 weeks, but it's that exact strategy that has now backfired, since he has been outed on all fronts. Lines have been drawn betwixt the 2 larger camps, with narrow passages & trenches linking them. Frankie is in danger of becoming hit in the crossfire.
I hope Zach wins HOH
(my WV is: Hendersyde askokye) LOL

Holly said...

May be Witt!! :) I find both of those girls and Donny endearing! Victoria and Jocasta are really flying low...we hardly even see them! The Soup had a great time making fun of Caleb and Devin talking about cuddling!

Anonymous said...

I HOPE ZACH WINS HOH!!!!!!!!!!
That would be so perfect and would love the camera on Devin and Caleb!!

Too bad Frankie did not pull back after the first 2 weeks. That would have been a good plan. He too is very amusing and entertaing as is Frankie.

Seeing Devin walk out the door will call for a PARTY!

RBennie said...

That cuddling conversation was way bizarre!

Petals said...

* this just in *

Folks, we have confirmed it. Yes...yes, we have a source that can say, without hesitation, that Devin has a daughter.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

Sharon N said...


Petals .... LMAO ^^^

Chacha said...

Underwater Polo.
Looks hard and up to anyone to win

David said...

Please let two of the "outcasts" win HOH tonight. Since it will be a mostly luck based game it is possible. I think by this time next week unless Caleb wins HOH we will see either Devin or Caleb on the verge of going home.

Chacha said...

I am totally with you David.

Petals said...

Thanks ChaCha - it looks so weird as an illustration. But wow, this comp could be anyone's to win or lose.

Thanks Petals for the info on Devin. I was avoiding spoilers and not checking the board for a few days until I could find time to watch my recording of Thursday's show.
Really?
