Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Thursday night into Friday - July 18

One HoH and Devil Donny

I'm still a bit ticked that they didn't show any of the comp on the live feeds. Grr.  Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Frankie is Way Too Loud:

• Caleb is still crying for attention. First he showed a lump of some sort on his chest and told Brittany it was cancer, that he had it checked out.
• Then he said the doctors said it was nothing and would go away; he's had it before.
• Then he said he looked like a Holocaust victim due to his week on slop.
• @@
• Nicole is no longer a frog, but Hayden still wants to be her prince.
• Frankie really should never win HoH again. He screams and is overly excited about everything -- he's either going to give me a heart attack or disturb my neighbors here. Shh ... Frankie, just shh. Act like a normal human being!
• Hmm ... my boy Derrick needs to remember he's NOT HoH anymore. He was saying Jocasta and Brittany need to be on the block, opposite sides so that one goes home. He also tossed Amber's name around.
• When they talked with Frankie and Cody, it was all girls they're planning to put on the block -- Amber, Brittany, Victoria and Jocasta. 
• An Amber nomination would satisfy the strong player as she's probably the strongest female competitor in the house -- Brittany is also a strong competitor.
• Cody does not want to personally put Amber on the block although he has no problem with Frankie putting her up.
• Brittany cried as she thinks Cody will probably put her on the block. 
• She's probably right.
• Cody thinks that if Amber and Brittany are nominated together, they'd win the BotB over Jocasta and Victoria.
• Jocasta hinted that she had darker days before coming into her current life. She should have gone to jail?!?! Hmm.
• They're discombobulated over the sleeping arrangements once again.
• I don't get to use the word 'discombobulated' nearly often enough.
• Poor Nicole, after getting teased by Zach about who's sleeping where, cried.
• Donny told Zach to apologize to her. He did.
• Zach seems to be one of those jokesters who doesn't realize that not everything is a joke to everyone.
• Dang. Does Frankie have to keep screaming about everything?
• It turns out that, not only did a crow attack and carry her away when she was a child, but Victoria is scared of ALL animals.
• @@ 
• When she talked about it and they all laughed, she thought they were laughing AT her, not WITH her.
• She's right; she sounds silly. Nicole's fear of ghosts and the dark are more rational.
• This time Frankie got word about the Team America mission and told Derrick.
• Frankie told Derrick they need to convince Donny that Amber is a physical threat.
• Neither are talking about putting up Caleb or Hayden, the obvious physical threats.
• Brittany is solidifying their thoughts of putting her on the block by exiling herself and being weepy while everyone else is having a good time.
• Let's all see the HoH room! Oh, joy! Joy! Frankie screams some more as he discovers what he thought was a Hogwarts shirt, Fig Newtons and every little thing in his basket. Make him stop. My neighbors are probably going to call the police!
• Cody's letter was from his father, Frankie's from his sister.
• Yet his sister's identity was NOT revealed.
• Derrick and Brittany talked about how Victoria was lousing up the sleeping arrangements -- she won't sleep in the same room as men ... except Cody. For some odd reason, it's okay for her to sleep in the same room as Cody.
• @@
• And Nicole doesn't want to not sleep with Christine.
• Sheesh.
• At least, with Frankie as one of the HoH and Derrick counseling them, Donny should be safe this week.

Christine and Frankie celebrate in bathroom

Zach and Victoria - no hate there!

Frankie has a plethora of Fig Newtons

Brittany and Donny talk

Jocasta thought it a bowtie night

Instead of cassettes, they got iPods

Big Brother 16: Live Eviction and HoH show blog party - July 17

Who's ready for a new Head of Household? I know I am. While we all know who the target is tonight and we just don't know if it will be unanimous or not ... the HoH will be (as Julie says) "up for grabs."

As the live show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest. As you all know, the real party is in the comments area. Come join in on the fun!

But first ... if you're in the blog pool and can't remember your hamster, I posted an update earlier right here at this link.

On with the show!

Jocasta is still crying about Donny using the veto to save her.
Caleb is still obsessed with Amber.

Cody is getting increasingly irked about Caleb spying on him and Amber. He thinks he might prefer to work on getting Caleb out instead of Devin.

More on the Hayden/Nicole flirtmance.

The Anti-Caleb movement push goes around the house.

Jeff Schroeder visits Donny's family.

In the living room now. No Have Nots this week, expect the unexpected. Julie tells US that the next Have Nots will be chosen by their activity trackers.

Speeches:
Caleb -- Thanks to all. Both beasts. I'm not a backstabber, liar, cheater (like Devin). He's a great guy, I can cowboy it up.
Devin -- Some highs, lows. Would have done some things differently. Exposes the Caleb final two pact and volunteering to go on block. I'm a physical and mental comp monster.

Live voting to evict:
Jacosta -- Devin
Donny -- Devin
Nicole -- Devin
Hayden -- Devin
... commercial break.
Zach -- Devin
Cody -- Devin
Victoria -- Devin
Frankie -- Devin
Amber -- Devin
Christine -- Devin
Brittany -- Devin

It's unanimous as we knew it would be from the live feeds. Devin is gone!

HoH - Teams of two, winning duo are the two HoH.
1. Vic/Christine
2. Caleb/Nicole
3. Brit/Jocasta
4. Amber/Zach
5. Donny/Hayden
6. Frank/Cody

The most "heated" battle of the summer coming up. The teams have to go in cages. The yard looks like hellfire. Into commercial.

Derrick is sitting dressed like Satan. Devil's eggs -- teams have to maneuver eggs through chicken wire (as we've seen before). First team to get twelve eggs in the slot wins.

This will last past show end, I'll put up a separate post on the winning HoH team when the live feeds return -- hopefully with screen caps as long as the feeds come up timely.

Team America's voted upon mission is to have the team get a physical threat on the block.

Ashes start falling on the comp. As the show ends, a few teams have one egg through.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Wednesday evening into Thursday - July 17

Better than the fake glasses

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Boredom:

• They're on indoor lockdown.
• Led by Frankie, they meditated.
• That's always so interesting to watch on the live feeds.
• Not!
• Caleb complained that BB hasn't done anything about the ants in the house.
• That's been a chronic problem every season.
• They talked about TV shows. YAWN!
• Caleb talked about himself.
• No surprise there!
• Derrick thinks that tonight's HoH might be a cliffhanger endurance comp.
• Others are leaning towards Questions and Answers.
• I'm not sure. They aren't building the most extensive of sets as they only shut the yard down at about 7pm ET yesterday.
• They lamented that BB won't give them any liquor and is stingy with the beer and wine.
• Caleb again said he's over Amber.
• If he were truly over Amber, he'd stop mentioning he's over Amber!
• Devin told Victoria he had a DUI and went to jail.
• We know that's true.
• Caleb talked more about Amber, Amber and Cody, how he won't save Amber again, Amber, Amber, Amber.
• Oh. But he's over Amber.
• Remember that!
• There's the big excitement of the night!
• Wowsers.

Girl talk

More cool shades

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Thursday into the evening - July 16

Is Southern California that cold?

I can't really complain -- at least this bunch of hamsters aren't jumping in bed with people they've known for a few weeks or walking around half undressed all the time. Perhaps a demographic of the audience misses that stuff, but I don't! That said, it's been pretty boring in that Big Brother House of We All Know Who's Going Home:

• Derrick and Cody's final two alliance is now the Hitmen after a big discussion.
• @@
• Don't get me wrong -- I like both of them, but ...!
• In a talk with us (while alone in the HoH room), Derrick told us the only alliances he's loyal to are Team America and the Hitmen (Cody).
• While he's loyal to Team America, he's not really anywhere near as close with Donny and Frankie as he is with Cody.
• That last was me saying it. But Derrick might as well be saying it.
• Am I bad for making my cat dance every time the fish cam and theme music come on?
• Christine raised a fuss about her missing bible. I wonder what happened to there just being one bible in the house. Now it seems that everyone has one, whether they're religious or not.
• Ohhh! BB gave them Big Brother red Solo cups and cozies for them! Be still my fluttering heart. So exciting! I can hardly contain myself here!
• Caleb told Derrick that whoever wins HoH needs to put Amber and Frankie on the block.
• Why? So she will be beholden to him for saving her again?
• He says he's tired of her.
• I doubt it. 
• He sees her talking to Cody and Brittany all the time. 
• And ... she's not talking to CALEB, the love of her life!
• Caleb and Derrick discussed targets for next week. Jocasta or Victoria seem the most likely. If they can take out Jocasta, that would break up the Donny/Jocasta duo.
• Of course, it's all going to depend on who wins the HoHs, the BotB, Veto ...
• It's all so complicated this season!
• In other thrilling edge-of-the-seat news, Hayden claims he's never burped in his life.
• I can't wait until the doldrums are over tomorrow night!

Derrick talks to us

Doesn't the sun damage the pool table?

Ohh ... BB red Solo cups and cozies!

Lookin' more Eminem than cowboy

Darn you! You put Caleb above me looking down!

Froggy is as Froggy does

In the nomination chairs, fitting.

Hayden gives Donny a back rub.

Big Brother 16: Power of Veto show blog party - July 16

Good evening, hamster fans! As tonight's show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this post with the major happenings. To see the latest, please refresh the page! But, as always, the REAL party is in the comments area -- come join us!

Oh, wait ... I forgot they vanished Nicole in a cliffhanger the other night! When the hamsters are allowed back in the house after the BotB, Nicole is in there in a frog costume.

After the comp, Jocasta is sick. Caleb tells Amber he threw the comp. She's not impressed. He needs to STOP his obsession. She is NOT interested!

Oh, no ... Stalker Caleb -- she likes CODY, not YOU.

Derrick wants one of his boyz to win PoV and take Caleb off the block. Cody thinks maybe Caleb should go if Devin doesn't go up. Derrick agrees.

Donny on his Team America mission, tells Nicole that PaoPao told him that Zach is Amanda's cousin, asks her to check it out with Christine for her opinion. Derrick tells Caleb, he tells Amber. Then they tell Zach. Zach goes and tells the others he's her cousin. Mission accomplished!

Jocasta is still sick as they start to pick players for PoV. Her bowtie sits atop a pillow in her place. Only five will play. Derrick picks Christine from the bag. Caleb picks Devin (oh no!), Derrick picks Donny on Jocasta's behalf. Cody is chosen as host.

Derrick is worried that Donny is still with Devin. Donny isn't showing his cards as he doesn't think Derrick tells him his moves.

Floater or physical threat mission for Team America next week. Which do we want to see them get on the block.

Derrick puts on war paint for the comp, as does Caleb. Devin works out.

Time for the veto comp! Cody looks good in his host outfit! The backyard is set up like a gambling casino. They have to challenge each other in tumbling dice, returning to the platform with the correct number on top of the dice. They can choose who they want to challenge.

Christine challenges Devin first. Devin wins. Christine out.
Derrick challenges Devin.  Devin wins. Derrick out.
Donny challenges ... Devin. DONNY WINS! Devin out.
Last round is Donny vs. Caleb. DONNY WINS THE POWER OF VETO!

Donny, Brittany and Frankie all go to Jocasta's sick bed to tell that she's not going home. Tears fly.

Devin cries. Boo hoo hoo.

Time for the veto meeting. Donny saves Jocasta. We don't get to hear the speeches from Jocasta and Caleb. Shame as the hamsters talked about Jocasta's speech on the live feeds!

Devin goes up in her place.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Tuesday night into Wednesday - July 16

Is this what you want, America?

Is this what you really want? Oh noes! I'm mixing Lorne Malvo from Fargo with Devin from BB! Well, yeah. We do want you to go. We're sick of hearing your pity party about your daughter when you admitted you hadn't even seen her for three months prior to going on the show. I bet I'm right in thinking all of the other parents on the show saw their children up to the moment they left to go into the Habitrail. Truth be told, I liked the Lorne Malvo character better. He was more entertaining. Well, in a killer kind of way.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of the Long Wait:

• Amber is worried that if Hayden or Donny win HoH, she'll be put on the block.
• She's right at least with Hayden.
• Zach is still going with the "related to Amanda" ruse. That should be fun on the show!
• Caleb told Frankie he plans to fast for the rest of the week (until the Have Nots can eat again). Amber thinks Caleb is a very picky eater.
• I can understand that if he is. Tripe, anyone?
• My dude Donny needs to watch out. Victoria and Zach have both mentioned him as a target.
• In reality, I think Victoria is the next target the house on the whole will focus upon.
• Victoria might think she and Nicole are really close, but Nicole doesn't think the same way. She likes Hayden, Christine and Donny the best.
• Nicole still feels horrible about putting Donny on the block although Donny seems so over it.
• Zach would like to see Frankie gone because he's playing a much better game.
• I'm not sure about that. Yeah, everybody likes Frankie -- he's entertaining. But most are getting to the point where they know he can't be trusted.
• Devin told Caleb he felt he had to campaign to stay, but he didn't badmouth Caleb to sway the vote.
• He's being honest about that. He hasn't badmouthed Caleb, just went on and on and on and on about himself, thus putting the other hamsters in a trance.
• Hmm. Now, this is disturbing. Nicole and Christine (super-allies) pinky-sweared that they will vote out Caleb. This would create distrust in the house and others would think it was Donny and Jocasta with the odd votes.
• Hmm.
• Caleb is still jealous that Cody spends so much time with Amber.
• That's HIS girl, don'tchaknow!
• Who are the tightest couples in the house right now? I'd say either Derrick/Cody or Nicole/Hayden or Nicole/Christine. I'd add Donny and Jocasta in there, but Donny seems to be playing a very solo game. You can't always read him, but know he sees everything.
• Devin, alone in the Have Not room with Caleb, told him he knows that he's going home and would have no reason to lie to him -- "Amber is bad for your game, dude."
• Truer words were never spoken.
• Surprising many, Zach admitted to watching BB2 and liking Dr. Will. Since he at times can look a bit like Will with even funkier hair and it's evident that at times he's trying to model his game after him a bit ... I don't know why they're surprised.
• Derrick, Zach, Cody, Christine and Frankie have a new alliance name -- The Detonators.
• Dang, they're almost all still up!
• But I'm fading.

Hanging out in HoH

Reminiscent of Bob & Carol, Ted & Alice

Shut up about Amber, Caleb.

Admits to watching season 2 with Dr. Will

Frog talk

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Tuesday daytime - July 15

Crankie?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Happening Hepcats:

• Okay, I lied. They are neither happening, nor hepcats.
• Devin and slop aren't getting along too well together.
• Derrick and Cody are bonding even more despite the Crankie photo above.
• Derrick is thinking of Donny as more and more of a threat to his game.
• As he should.
• If nothing else, Donny is very observant.
• He pointed out to Jocasta that Derrick is the ringleader and the smarter of the bunch.
• In separate the separate conversations about not trusting each other, both Derrick and Donny followed up with, "But, I like him."
• Victoria curled Hayden's hair. I think the girls are having a love affair with his hair!
• Devin is still campaigning to stay (after he said he wouldn't).
• When he talked to Cody, Cody outright told him that he (Devin) is much better at the game than is Caleb.
• I don't know about that. He's definitely better in comps.
• Neither are playing a good social game, but Caleb has the edge there.
• Well, except for his creepy infatuation with Amber.
• Cody, although Caleb has done some things which might irk him, won't go against the house.
• At this point, anyone voting for Devin to stay will probably be targeted next because Devin is so whack.
• Devin also tried to work on Donny for the vote.
• Donny nodded a lot and then told Devin he hopes he hears applause from the audience when he (Devin) leaves, not boos.
• I'd say that was pretty telling!
• He hit up Brittany next.
• No go there, either.
• "But I only need SIX votes!"
• Derrick got the HoH camera and fun was had by all. The latest one even takes photos underwater.
• Jocasta, Brittany and Donny discussed Devin's campaigning. They all think he has some good points as he's up with Caleb, no angel himself.
• But they all think he has to go.
• Brittany and Derrick are having a way long talk in HoH.
• Now they seem to be bonding, too.
• Not in a Devin/Brittany kind of way.

"There's the ringleader, Derrick."

Now Hayden is doing fluffy

Killing ants?

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Monday night into Tuesday - July 15

Ready to go home?

What's been happening in that Big Brother House of Harmony? Here's the latest:

• House of Harmony?
• Yep, it's rather easy sailing with the Devin plan in place; most are taking a break from any heavy duty scheming.
• After saying he won't campaign to stay, Devin's been campaigning to stay.
• But I don't think anyone is being swayed.
• Frankie talked about people not liking each other. He continues to try to plant seeds that might work against him in the long run.
• Zach is still claiming that Victoria has no reason to be in the house and has no clue what she's doing.
• Derrick and Cody talked about how worried Caleb gets every time Amber is talking to Cody.
• He's still in unrequited love.
• @@ 
• The Hayden/Nicole sweet little flirty showmance continues. I doubt we'll ever see any real action, though. Good.
• The Zach taking the Team America rumor about him and running with it is the most hilarious thing ever so far this season!
• Everyone is talking about it and he's playing right into it.
• It should be funny when they compile it for the show.
• That's about it.

Amber doesn't look excited

While Victoria studies her mug

What? No bowtie?

Still a frog

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Monday/PoV Meeting - July 14

I love it when a plan comes together

Yes, I do. I love it when a plan comes together although, as a hamster watcher, the other way can cause fun drama and perhaps a brouhaha! I like that, too. Entertain me, hamsters! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Backdoors:

• The big news, although nothing unexpected, is that the PoV meeting went down today.
• As expected, Donny used the veto to save Jocasta.
• Devin up.
• Devin out (on Thursday).
• They think it could very well be an 11-0 vote.
• Derrick thinks it's what America wants.
• Now Caleb just has to not do anything to irk everybody. As they've discussed, Caleb only did well in the first HoH comp. Devin, on the other hand, has won comps, plus has been >< THAT close to winning others.
• Jocasta apparently made a speech which had Frankie and Derrick teary.
• In other news, the Team America mission is underway more than they thought it would be.
• Nicole, thinking it was a weird rumor to spread, went right to the source -- Zach.
• When she asked him if he's Amanda's cousin, he admitted it.
• Now, Team America didn't see that one coming!
• Nicole doesn't know whether to believe him or not.
• Victoria came by and said that PaoPao had told her as she left the house.
• He laughed, admitted it, denied it, admitted it.
• Heh. I think they're probably going to get the money for the mission, especially since Zach himself is having fun with the rumor and playing into it.
• Devin says that he's not going to campaign.
• He probably realizes that resistance is futile.
• He says he'll enjoy his time left in the house.
• Um. Good.

So ... are you Amanda's cousin

Yes, I am. Who told you? No, I'm not.

Why would Pao tell us you're Amanda's cousin?

Jocasta is safe once again

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Sunday into Monday - July 14

Jocasta sends love

No, I didn't post an update last night. Why? Because they did practically nothing but lay around all day! Sheesh! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of the Doldrums:

• Neither Zach nor Cody will have any issue cutting out Frankie when they feel the time is right.
• They talked about how the live feeds work. It's amazing so many in the house really have no clue about it.
• Donny worked on the Team America mission more with Nicole.
• Derrick worked on it with Caleb.
• It seems a lot tougher than they originally thought!
• There were some murmurs about Caleb possibly being voted out.
• I think it's your basic paranoia.
• Everybody does want Devin out.
• But they second-guessing things, probably because the plan went down so neatly thus far.
• The photo booth opened once again.
• Once again, they made idiots out of themselves with said photo booth.
• 4, 3, 2, ONE.
• Amber and Christine talked about how dangerous it is to keep Donny in the game. They think he'll have to be backdoored because he keeps winning veto.
• Um. Okay. There have been two veto comps. Caleb deliberately slowed down in the latest to throw it.
• Unfortunately, I can't blame the girls for thinking Donny will need to go. If he can get to the final two, he'd be a cinch to win.
• On the other hand, both girls really adore Cody.
• Frankie and Victoria have become major cuddle buddies.
• Donny is trying to avoid Devin because Devin is trying once again to be buddy-buddy like in the beginning with the Double D alliance.
• There were people outside the yard shouting to the hamsters which forced an indoor lockdown.
• Ah, memories of Miss Kitty with the megaphone and strangers throwing candy over the fence! Er, that was the first couple of seasons!
• Zach ate too many cookies. He thinks he ate around 30 of them.
• Yep, just a little boy at heart!
• The yearly BB ants have returned to the kitchen in force.
• Nicole and Hayden continue to fun flirt. It kind of reminds me of Jordan and Jeff -- I doubt we'll see hanky-panky under the covers.
• Not that Hayden wouldn't mind having hanky-panky under the covers.
• Zach said he had over 25 sexual partners.
• @@
• That right there would be reason NOT to hook up with Zach, I say!
• Christine is worried that she might be compared to Jenn City due to the tattoos.
• Nope, don't see that. Not at all.
• I don't expect any surprises with the PoV meeting later today. Donny should use the veto to save Jocasta, Devin goes up in her place.
• All of this means another three days of doldrums.
• Devin has been trying to be a part of things, not going bizarre or anything. 
• Derrick is a bit worried because Devin seems to have accepted that it's his fate to leave Thursday.

Hayden saved Britney from being a Have Not

Big Brother 16: Nominations and Battle of the Block Show Blog Party - July 13

Are you READY? It's nominations. It's Battle of the Block. It's Big Brother. And, this is our party as we watch the show East Coast time. As it airs here, I'll update this post with the major happenings. Refresh the post to get the latest news!

Where's the party? It's in the comments area ... come join in!

After the PaoPao eviction, Devin starts exposing the Bomb Squad to all. Silly dude. Christine told her personal ally Nicole about it, fearing that she'd hear it from someone else.

The HoH room reveal. You know how that goes.

After a long discussion about nominees (they have more they don't want to put up), it's decided that Derrick will put up Caleb and Jocasta, Nicole will put up Amber because Amber nominated her. Caleb can "save" Amber as the target is to get Devin up there after PoV. Nicole is undecided on her second nominee.

Caleb is willing to go up, throw the comp to save Amber and to have Derrick remain HoH.

Nicole tells Donny of her dilemma and the plan to oust Devin with the backdoor. Donny blabs the Caleb throw plan to Jocasta and Brittany. Amber overheard it and runs to Nicole and Christine. After telling Nicole earlier she shouldn't trust Christine, now Nicole needs to not trust Donny!

Nominations time - Nicole is upset. Nicole nominates Amber, then Donny. Adore Donny, given information last second which influences decision. Derrick nominates Jocasta and Caleb. She's a floater by rumor, prove she's not. Caleb volunteered.

Devin knows it's a backdoor plan. Donny is upset, not realizing his spreading the news about Caleb is why he got the nomination.

Team America's first mission "get three other hg to spread the rumor that one hg is related to a previous one." They have four days. They decide to rumor that Zach is Amanda's cousin. Donny suggested to try with the dumbest first -- Caleb.

Donny and Nicole made up. Donny told her she never told him NOT to tell about the Caleb thing. They agree to work together. This time she tells him not to tell anyone.

BotB - Frog Wars. Fly to retrieve pieces, assemble puzzle.

Donny and Amber win (of course). Nicole is dethroned. Derrick is the sole HoH. They made Nicole disappear on screen and are using it as a cliffhanger.
