Big Brother 16: Live Feeds late Sunday into Monday - August 4

Girl talk and Hayden

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Friend or Foe:
  • Victoria and Caleb were allowed to shed the vine that binds them.
  • Oh. And they could put clothes on again, too.
  • But Caleb's hair is still gone. Too bad. I guess he'll lose that possible modeling contract!
  • Christine told Nicole that she thinks Cody is SO attractive. No wonder she's all over him. Doesn't she have a husband at home?
  • Victoria told Cody since she was chained to Caleb for 48 hours, she hasn't a clue what's going on in the house.
  • Cody told her that although he's a bit skeptical of Donny, he likes him -- but there are others in the house playing everyone.
  • I say, "Well, that's Big Brother for you."
  • Cody also told her he thinks Christine and Nicole are working together and have a backdoor plan.
  • Caleb fussed about being on slop. He's stopped fussing about his hair (or lack thereof) and has embraced that. After all, he's so good-looking that it looks good on him.
  • Cough.
  • Victoria said she would have rather have been attached to Cody.
  • Wouldn't we all?
  • Derrick reassured Victoria of his final two deal with her.
  • Say what?
  • Dang, he better watch that stuff!
  • Although, that said, Victoria doesn't really talk game with others so much and most won't talk game with her. So this pseudo-deal might remain quiet.
  • Derrick told Victoria that Christine can read lips, so he keeps a pillow near his face. Now, I know she knows sign language, but lip-reading is a whole 'nuther thing!
  • He also told her that Christine is playing the old BB game of planting seeds to make people doubt each other.
  • And that differs from what he's doing?
  • Derrick, Nicole and Hayden think that Christine might be a saboteur.
  • @@
  • Nope, she's just slimy.
  • Now the consensus seems to be that Zach indeed will be going home this week, not Jocasta.
  • Caleb misses Amber.
  • I bet Amber does NOT miss Caleb!
  • The guys are finally catching onto Christine and her lies, seed planting and attempted world domination.
  • They're not happy.
  • They think she'll really try for the next HoH.
  • They think it's probably a double eviction this week since it didn't happen last week.
  • They're right.

Are her days numbered?

Boy talk and Hayden

So ... we're being played?

But she's not all over him, Christine.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Sunday into the evening - August 3

Is the house that cold?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Waiting on the PoV Meeting:
  • BB Voice is getting really upset with the hamsters sleeping in.
  • Well, they let them stay up all night. What do they expect?
  • Donny is the only one who goes to bed at a reasonable hour and gets up "early." It's not really early in my book, but for the house it is!
  • Caleb and Victoria slept in the HoH bed with Nicole, thus ruining her sleep as Victoria tried to be as far from Caleb as she could.
  • I think BB Voice is getting bored. He actually reminded Frankie to wash his hands after going to the bathroom.
  • No hamster wants to be known for not washing his hands. I can't recall offhand the season number he was on, but I remember Jerry didn't wash his hands!
  • BB Voice started calling out individual hamsters by name for not getting up.
  • Heh. Welcome to boot camp, hamsters!
  • Nicole once again told Donny she won't put him up. She thinks that Christine won't use the veto and it will be Jocasta going home this week. She thinks that Christine is lying to her when she says the votes are for Zach to go.
  • Sadly, Nicole thinks her HoH will be a waste if Jocasta goes. She also thinks she'll be targeted next.
  • Donny suggested she lie to Christine and tell her that she wants to put Donny up as a replacement nom, then put Frankie up instead.
  • Donny told her that he would vote whatever she and Hayden decide.
  • Hayden told Nicole that Frankie talked to him about how to get Nicole on board to keep Zach.
  • They had the photo booth. The thrill seems to be gone, 4,3,2,ONE.
  • Christine, during a major flirt-fest with Cody, told him that Zach is going around telling people that Frankie goes around telling everything everyone says.
  • Christine told Hayden that Zach mentioned his name as a target before, but she and Frankie talked him out of it.
  • Um. I thought she was working on keeping Zach in the house!
  • Christine told Nicole that she thought Frankie was working with the boys.
  • Hmm.
  • Yet she then said they need to work on getting more votes to keep him.
  • Curiouser and curiouser.
  • Frankie told Nicole that if they keep Zach, his target will be Caleb, not her.
  • Poor Nicole.
  • She's getting it from all sides.
  • And she doesn't even have a vote this week!
  • The only move she can make at this point is if Christine uses the veto.
  • Nicole told Cody that if Christine uses the veto, she'll put Frankie on the block.
  • Cody warned her (as many have before) that anything she says to Christine will get back to Frankie.
  • As it stands, it doesn't look like Christine will use the veto.
  • But now it's looking a bit more like it might be a toss-up who leaves.
  • I'd prefer as a viewer that Jocasta go. But if I were in the house, I might think getting Zach gone a wiser game move.
  • We'll see.

Big Brother 16: HoH Conclusion, Nominations, BOB Show Blog Party - August 3

Big Brother summer on Make A Gif

Tonight's episode better not have worthless filler! We get to see the end of the HoH comp, nominations, Battle of the Block and all kinds of scheming! As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news!

As always, the real party is down in the comments area -- come join in on the fun!

Nicole and Donny won the HoH comp in a tiebreaker.

Zach thinks he's using reverse psychology when he offers to Nicole to go up on the block. He doesn't think Nicole and Donny can work together. This is after they already talked about wanting to work together. Derrick lies to Nicole and tells her he would be on board to a backdoor Frankie plan.

Who wants to see my HoH room?

Caleb doesn't want to be nominated by Donny even though he nominated Donny in the past. Caleb says that if does put him on the block, he wants to be with another strong player, not someone like Victoria.

Donny tell both Derrick and Frankie he won't nominate them. Derrick wants Donny to put up losing players for the BOB so he will remain HoH.

Talking to Nicole and Hayden, he talks of putting up Caleb and Victoria. Nicole talks of putting up Zach and Jocasta with a backdoor plan of Frankie. Now, Donny won't put him up, but his eyes lit up at the thought of Nicole backdooring him!

Nominations today -- Nicole wants to shake the house up. Good. Nicole nominates Jocasta, then Zach.  Jocasta, game move, love you, sorry. Nicole says Zach isn't a super villain. Donny nominates Caleb, then Victoria. Caleb put him up. We are square if you survive. Victoria, sorry but your blood is on many hands, now mine.

BOB time - Christine hosts. It's all kids toys. Donny and Nicole over dunking pools. It involves dominoes. They have to do the punishments they knock over. Domino Effect. Even if you win, you lose. You have to knock down three punishments. Caleb doesn't want to shave his head, but that looks like the most direct route.

Donny gets dunked and dethroned ... Caleb and Victoria win! Shave head, on slop for two weeks, Adam and Eve fig leaf bathing suits and tethered by a fig leaf vine for 48 hours.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Late Saturday Night into Sunday - August 3


I hope Donny can continue to smile

Well, Christine winning the PoV isn't really the best case scenario. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Who Knows What She'll Do:
  • First, I need to get this off my chest. It's really bugging me to PAY for live feeds and have constant blockage when comps are on while the FREE (included in cable, etc.) TVGN at least shows the hamsters not in the comp locked up in the HoH room. Sure, I have them both. But I specifically PAY for the live feeds and feel that if any live feed content is offered, it should be on the actual live feeds if it's on TVGN.
  • <./ rant over>
  • Caleb and Victoria had a brief escape from their forced Adam and Eve togetherness for the comp.
  • But it was only brief. They're stuck together by the vine once again.
  • The comp sounds like it was fun for them. It was one of the ones they do individually, something to do with a zip line, trampoline and videos/pictures puzzles.
  • Nicole lost to Christine by only 30 seconds.
  • Victoria came in at the slowest. (And someone was REALLY slow if the comp took so long!)
  • Zach said he tried to quit three times and threw puzzle pieces at the camera.
  • For all his bravado, he apparently totally sucked at the comp.
  • He was the worst one other than Victoria.
  • Huh. Donny collects comic books. That makes him even more interesting in my eyes.
  • Of course, Caleb had to burst in with how his brother owns one of the first Superman comics.
  • I bet not. Those things are worth more than any of those immensely good-looking and popular Reynolds boys (just ask Caleb) could ever afford.
  • How did this come up? The comp was based on comics. They all seemed pretty impressed with it.
  • Christine quickly hung up the PoV necklace claiming it was heavy.
  • And she thinks she would do fantastic in an endurance comp?
  • Sheesh.
  • Cody and Derrick told Zach to work on getting Nicole's favor, telling her he won't target her, and staying as close as he can with Christine. They told him they're worried Christine might use the veto to save Jocasta.
  • Now Derrick and Cody seem to be faltering with their Hayden/Nicole alliance and thinking of working with Christine/Frankie.
  • Geez. Pick a darn alliance and stick with it, boys!
  • Their rationale (not the new alliance name, but the noun) is that while they know both Christine and Frankie are backstabbing them, they're higher on that alliance list than they would be trying to get numbers aligned with Nicole and Hayden. Cody think Donny would nominate him while, for some reason (heh), Derrick thinks that he himself is pretty safe with Donny. They're thinking of using the larger alliance until they need them no more.
  • Christine told Derrick and Cody that she isn't planning to use the veto and she wants Zach to stay.
  • I say, "So, save him with the veto!"
  • Caleb, that most desirable bachelor in town, asks his dates to dinner at Taco Bell.
  • @@
  • He also thinks he'll get more dates due to being on the show. Alas, he's probably right. There are some stupid women out there.
  • Zach kept practicing and revising his speech for the eviction plea.
  • I think he ought to work on his plea to get saved by the veto!
  • For all of his joking around, it turns out Zach spent hours researching at the library on what works and what doesn't for the casting call.
  • Yet others get stopped on the street. Go figure.
  • Nicole told Derrick that she's heard that Christine won't be using the PoV (through the grapevine -- not to be confused with what's tethering Adam and Eve together). If she does use it, Nicole still plans to put Frankie on the block.
  • Oh, that would be nice!
  • She said she's definitely NOT going to put Donny up. Good.
  • Christine keeps telling Zach she does want him out, but that's not what she's saying to everyone else.
  • That's about it for now. It's a LONG time before the PoV ceremony tomorrow!
Zach's fate may be in her hands

Off Topic: That Was the Week It Was - August 3, 2014

Good morning! Welcome to my weekly Sunday morning reflection on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken along the way. If you're looking for Big Brother live feeds reports, you can find those posts at this link right here. The post you're currently reading is off television topic and a weekly post I make throughout the year on the blog. You can read it or not -- your choice!

Here in New Jersey, we had more than enough rain once again. Our reservoir levels have remained in the positive all summer long. It's a shame that we can't steer the rain off to areas in the West which are experiencing droughts! Overall, after a harsh winter, it's been a mild summer. Hey, I'm not complaining! I'm not a fan of the extreme heat. I'm not one to lay around on a beach sunburning and sweating. I don't like to sweat. Give me the 70s and I love it!

I was bitten by another mosquito this week, going into the full allergic reaction once again. Well, not to the point of anaphylaxis, but yet quite serious. I have no clue why all of a sudden I'm having these allergic reactions. I've been wearing Eau D'Off pretty much wherever I go, but forgot to put it on the morning I visited Mindowaskin Park in Westfield. I put it on after a while as I carry an Off "pen" in my pocketbook, but it was too late.

That's all for me for now. It's onto the photos! If you click on an image, it will open a new window and you can increase the size of the image twice by clicking on the magnifying glass on the lower right. If you click on the X to close that page, you end up right back here where you left off. I have two slideshows this week -- to make those full screen, just click on the diagonal arrow on the bottom right!

I hope everyone has a great Sunday and I'll be posting the latest BB16 live feeds soon!

NJ Transit, Raritan Valley Line

Because the double-decker trains are so tall, they look quite short when seen from a distance. Don't let the optical illusion fool you -- this train is seven or eight long cars long! Thankfully for drivers, it's nowhere near as long as some of those freight trains which take forever to pass by.

Ducks at rest

I made a trip to Mindowaskin Park in Westfield this week. The ducklings I photographed at the beginning of summer are growing up! After the jump, I have a slideshow of my day in the park. This is just a sneak peek!

I don't have to go to the park to see cute bunnies ... they're all around my neighborhood. This is a young one resting in the grass.

Blue Dasher Dragonfly

This is another shot from the day in the park. Dragonflies were all over the place! I wonder why more Blue Dashers than other varieties seem to have wing damage of some sort. I've seen in in photos I've taken before. Their wings must be more fragile than other kinds of dragonflies, I guess.

After the rain

Again, more than enough rain here this week (and it's raining more as I write this). This is the reflection in a huge puddle after the rain stopped one morning.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Bulletin - Power of Veto Winner - August 2



Christine won PoV. I'm not sure if the feeds are up yet. I had turned to BBAD as they had at least the non-players locked up in the HoH room. Since I don't have a screen cap of her with the veto necklace, I chose the most appropriate screen cap of her I have.

One good thing ... she will probably use it thinking Nicole might nominate Donny.

But Nicole should go for Frankie instead.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Saturday - August 2

Eve/Victoria puts on her make-up

Here's today's happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Problematic Punishments:
  • Donny knows that "people" (ie: Frankie) are tossing his name in as a replacement nominee. He told Cody as much.
  • Victoria is finding out why Caleb was a Have Not due to lack of activity on his FitBit. He really doesn't move much unless he's playing pool. He also likes to nap a lot.
  • Donny was worried because Frankie slept in the HoH room with Nicole.
  • Hayden told him that she's still on board with the back door if it can be done, but Nicole was scared to sleep alone up there and there were no other takers.
  • Nicole thinks that Donny is really smart because he used the word "osmosis."
  • Oh my. It doesn't take much to impress her, does it?
  • Oh geez ... Frankie really needs to detach himself from that HoH room! He joked about how he almost grabbed the key on the way out due to habit.
  • If I were HoH, he would NOT be in there.
  • They had the veto players pick blocked to the live feeds. But, as always, we found out anyway -- the additional players are Caleb, Victoria and Christine.
  • Hmm ... not ones I particularly wanted to see up there.
  • Frankie will host. Again.
  • Heh. With all kinds of ruckus going on, Donny said it would be a good idea if they did a grown-up Big Brother.
  • I know exactly what he means. Half the time the hamsters are yelling and shouting. Not in anger, mind you. They're just damn loud.
  • Nicole told Victoria after her punishment with Caleb is over, she can come up and sleep in the HoH room with her.
  • I hope Frankie doesn't think that's an invite for a threesome.
  • Frankie and Christine really want Nicole to backdoor Donny.
  • Ain't gonna happen, kiddos!
  • Nicole or BB announced the Have Nots (blocked to the feeds) -- Hayden, Cody and Frankie.
  • I don't recall a vote, but they also got "Pea Lime Pie" to go with the slop.
  • Frankie is upset that he was named a Have Not.
  • Too bad, so sad.
  • Nicole told Hayden that Christine told her there's an all guy alliance.
  • She did tell her that.
  • Isn't that what started the Amber ouster?
  • Won't it work on Christine?
  • Please?
  • Hayden wants to change the name of the Quad Squad.
  • Victoria claims that Hayden stretched her shorts.
  • He did.
  • She missed the dance he did in them last night. Heehee.
  • The Quad Squad which might be the Rationale now agreed that if the PoV is used by anyone on either nominee, Frankie goes up (and goes home).
  • They think, without Frankie, Zach will be like a lost puppy.
  • I dunno. He's kind of like a puppy with Frankie around! You know puppies -- into everything, running around, acting goofy.
  • Zach, Frankie and Christine are also amazed that Donny used the word "osmosis." Why, he must be a doctor!
  • @@
  • Or a professor!
  • @@
  • Hmm ... why is Derrick trying to convince Cody that Nicole is working against them?
  • Uh-oh. They're losing trust in both Hayden and Nicole!
  • But, wait!
  • Cody told Derrick that Nicole told him that Christine suggested Derrick or Cody as replacement nomination prospects.
  • (She did.)
  • So now, who do they trust? Can't trust Christine! Please go back to trusting Hayden and Nicole!
  • Cody says his gut feeling is that Frankie and Christine are playing them.
  • Duh. Y'think?
  • As I get this posted, the PoV is still on and the live feeds are blocked.
  • I'll let you know when I know.
  • Unless I fall asleep again, that is. I told you I miss having straight theme music because I can nap to that and awaken when I hear voices. These Jeff highlights and interviews are ruining my naps!

Why is he in the HoH bed looking like Pee-Wee?

Just go. Now, please.

The King of Nothing

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of This Certainly Is NO Garden of Eden!:
  • Caleb fussed and moaned about not wanting to get his head shaved.
  • He claimed his head is ugly shaved.
  • He claimed to have a "discriminatory tattoo" on top of his head.
  • He claimed that the last time his head was shaved was boot camp and that's when he got the tattoo.
  • Although his claims of a racist tattoo are a bit possible due to his anti-Muslim ranting in the house and on the internet, Derrick called him on it as the service would never allow it.
  • Then he said it's an Iron Cross tattoo.
  • When Frankie looked through his hair for it, Caleb claimed it was small, but was there.
  • @@
  • Caleb fussed more than any woman on any of these reality shows have when faced with a head-shaving!
  • Donny said that both he and Derrick would do horribly with the punishments given Caleb. Oh, no ... they wouldn't fuss so much about the head-shaving (although Donny would look whack with no hair on his head and that beard). Neither one of them would ever go around almost naked.
  • I find that refreshing that the house has people who actually like to keep clothes on this season.
  • Actually, Derrick and Donny are the first hamsters in several seasons that I could see me being friends with if I knew them in "real life." They're both upstanding caring kind of guys.
  • Victoria doesn't have to shave her head, but is very worried about wearing a bikini for two days straight when she's gained 20 pounds since coming into the house.
  • (She still looks better in a bikini than I have ever looked in one!)
  • Thankfully Caleb isn't attached to Amber half-naked. He'll actually be a gentleman with Victoria.
  • Meanwhile, Zach is kicking himself over the BOB loss. He says it's all his fault.
  • Happy Go Lucky Boy Zach is seriously worried he might be sent packing this week.
  • Me? I'd rather see Jocasta go if the noms remain the same. Zach brings entertainment to the house while she brings long extended prayers droning on and on.
  • As Caleb fussed and whined about the head-shaving, Victoria asked him why he can't be normal.
  • Heck, he can't be normal because he's Caleb! Sheesh! She should know that by now!
  • She also wondered why he can't be positive. Doesn't she realize the love of his life is gone from the house and he not only looks like a fool, but will look foolish?!?!
  • Derrick told Christine and Cody that Zach asked him to save him if he wins the PoV. They think he shouldn't use it because Cody will go up on the block if he does.
  • They don't know that Derrick and Nicole have talked Frankie as a backdoor.
  • I don't know if either would go through with that, though. Derrick might kill Team America if Frankie goes (I don't know what happens when one is evicted) and Nicole might not have the nerve for a major power move.
  • Nicole told Donny he could keep his HoH snacks in the room as well as sleep in there if he wishes.
  • So ... how come Frankie is in that HoH bed?!?!
  • Caleb's latest pre-bald rant: "How will I get a modeling contract bald?"
  • What fantasy land is he living in? He's too muscle-bound and short for a modeling contract ... not to mention looking like that Eminem/Charlie Sheen gay romance love child.
  • Victoria started the Caleb head shave, then Derrick took over. He's been trimming everyone's hair for a few weeks now and is pretty good at it. I get the feeling that anything Derrick takes on to do, he ends up doing well at it.
  • Ahh ... Nicole and Hayden talk alone! She really wants Zach and Frankie both on the block! Woot! Woot! Now, if that comes to fruition, I'd love to see them go for voting Frankie out and keeping Zach. Frankie is actually more dangerous to their games than is Zach. Zach is more of a goofball.
  • And, not only that happened in their talk, but they're also planning on discussing it with Derrick and Cody.
  • So, Cody isn't a target and Nicole isn't confiding in Christine.
  • Good.
  • She's much better with Hayden as a close ally than with Christine.
  • Frankie thinks the only one who would use the veto if he won it is Donny.
  • We'll see about that!
  • Frankie wants Nicole to re-nom Donny if someone else uses the veto.
  • I don't think that will happen. She's not going to put Donny up.
  • Nicole thinks the best case scenario is Donny winning the veto, using it to save Jocasta and she puts Frankie up.
  • But, of course, she didn't say that to Frankie.
  • Yet another new alliance has formed in the house -- The Quad Squad -- Derrick, Cody, Hayden and Nicole.
  • Thankfully, Christine is not a part of it.
  • But I wish Donny was ... then all my house favorites would be in it together.
  • Hmm ... Derrick just might have turned the Frankie corner. He knows Frankie is working against them as well as for them (cue Andy).
  • Hayden thinks Caleb is more fun to be around now that Amber is gone.
  • I wouldn't go that far. But, after the head-shaving went down and he stopped whining and fussing, he's been a bit more human.
  • I think that's all we can expect from him ... a bit human.
  • That's all for now. PoV might rock the house.
  • I hope it does!

What? No huge Hayden smile?

Frankie needs to get OUT of HoH room!

Waiting for the reveal

And, there they are!

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Battle of the Block Winners Bulletin - August 1

Caleb and Victoria win the BOB!

Yep, they won the Battle of the Block. Donny is dethroned. Jocasta and Zach remain on the block, Nicole is the sole HoH. Zach is not a happy camper. Of course, this increases the chances that Frankie might be backdoored. Hmm.



  • Caleb and Victoria have to be chained together for 48 hours
  • Caleb has to shave his head.
  • Caleb also has a slop penalty.
  • Derrick says that six people are on slop this week -- the four Have Nots and the two on penalty.
  • Donny got dunked in a dunk tank.
  • The comp had to do with dominoes.
  • Yeah, I'm confused. The winners are losers and the losers are winners.
  • In a way.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds/Nominations Friday - August 1

Donny nominated Caleb and Victoria

Nicole nominated Zach and Jocasta

But are any of them the real target? Here's what has happened so far today in that Big Brother House of a New Regime:
  • Between fish and Jeff highlights feed blocks due to nominations and, right as I type this up, possibly the Battle of the Block, there hasn't been a heck of a lot of feeds time today.
  • The nominations were as discussed last night.
  • If they keep up with the second part of the plan, it's likely that dear Frankie just might find that back door this week.
  • Zach had volunteered to Nicole to go up, saying it would spare her grief in deciding and he actually deserved it from her.
  • Donny is covering the Caleb nom by saying Caleb put him on the block.
  • The women?
  • I guess they're the Forever Pawns.
  • They're reassuring both of them that they're going nowhere.
  • If, come Thursday, Victoria and Caleb remain on the block, Caleb would go.
  • They really want to go for Frankie, though.
  • Donny moved all of his stuff out of the little HoH room (ex-Pandora's Box) in case he's dethroned. Apparently they lock that room up once it's down to one HoH.
  • Victoria and Caleb have agreed to work together to win the Battle of the Block. Donny even gave Victoria a pep talk.
  • Cody thinks he's Donny's target if Donny remains HoH and someone uses the veto.
  • Donny himself, other than talking Frankie a bit with Nicole (which it would be more her move to make), has been a bit tight-lipped about it.
  • But you know he has a plan in place.
  • The BotB seemed to start early this week.
  • I'll let you know when I find out.
  • If I don't fall asleep, that is!

Will they both survive the week?

Amber is gone; Caleb stalks Zach

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Thursday night into Friday - August 1

Derrick consoles Jocasta

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Fresh HoHs:
  • As I mentioned in my previous little blurb -- Nicole and Donny are the new HoHs.
  • Jocasta just about had a nervous breakdown after retrieving her bag. She had wanted to win so bad and to go out first again!
  • Derrick really did a good job consoling her.
  • But her first again out of a comp didn't go unnoticed.
  • Zach told Nicole she could put him on the block and he'd have no hard feelings.
  • He better be careful what he wishes for!
  • Nicole told Cody she wants to protect Derrick, but doesn't want to show all of her cards to Donny.
  • When Derrick told Nicole that her plan to lose comps failed, she told him she felt she had to go for the win with Caleb and Zach still in the game. She's sure one of them would have put her on the block.
  • Hayden thinks he's safe because he's close to both Nicole and Donny.
  • He's probably right.
  • Donny said he had a plan for HoH last night before going into it, but it was more of a single HoH plan. He thought they'd stop having the two.
  • Donny told Derrick he wouldn't nominate him.
  • So, Derrick seems to be sitting pretty this week, too.
  • Caleb talked about going out on a date with Amber after the season ends.
  • @@
  • Donny seems to be leaning towards Caleb as a nomination. He told Caleb that if he did nominate him, it's because Caleb had nominated him before. He also said it would be a nomination with a chance to win at BotB or PoV.
  • Donny got a sweet letter from his girlfriend at home.
  • Aw.
  • With Hayden present, Donny said he'd probably put up Caleb and Victoria. Nicole thinks she might put up Jocasta and Zach.
  • Hayden kept talking about Frankie being the impetus to most of the things going on in the house.
  • I don't think Donny would put Frankie up due to TA.
  • I don't think Nicole has the nerve to make that big a move.
  • But I do think that Nicole just might be willing to backdoor Frankie.
  • Hmm.
  • She says she's not sure ... but maybe!
  • The latest new final four group is Nicole, Hayden, Cody and Derrick.
  • We'll see how long that lasts.
  • And we'll see how the nominations go later today ...
