Big Brother 16: Live Feeds - Live Show Aftermath Thursday - August 7

Zach went back to callous idiot mode

Yikes, what a hot mess in that Big Brother house of Shout, Shout, Let It On Out:

• When the feeds returned, Zach was being an idiot.
• He was yelling about, namecalling and generally being a jerk to Nicole (who obviously doesn't need his harassment after all that just went down).
• Nicole spilled the beans on all that went down during the week.
• Interestingly enough, I didn't hear her specifically point out Derrick or Cody.
• Hmm.
• But she sure threw Frankie and Christine under the bus.
• She was saying everyone was lying to her.
• Nicole is in tears saying that she doesn't want to stay in the house with Zach picking on her all week.
• So, who comforts her in the Beehive Room?
• Christine.
• I can understand that Nicole at this point is desperate for trust.
• But, geez. Christine convinces her that she herself was lied about and makes everything sort of hunky-dory with Nicole.
• Dang. I thought Derrick was the master manipulator.
• Meanwhile, Caleb is shocked he won a math comp.
• All the guys were talking (except Donny) to Zach about calming down and he needs to stop being mean to Nicole.
• No, they want Nicole out. But they don't think she should be treated horribly.
• Derrick convinced everyone that Hayden and Nicole played them.
• Then, after Derrick and Frankie left the room with just Zach and Cody there, the Voice of Reason entered.
• Yes ... CALEB, the Voice of Reason.
• He told Zach and Cody that a lot of what Nicole has been saying (about people talking to her and steering her and who wants whom on the block) has a ring of truth in it and to beware ... of Frankie and Christine.
• When Derrick came in, he said the same to him.
• Oh, my. Then Derrick had to scramble a bit.
• He's back in the Christine is betraying us mode.
• Derrick told Victoria that they're golden -- neither of their names have come up in regard to nomination possibilities.
• Derrick also told Donny that he was good with him and wants Team America to go on. He said he's not as sure about where Frankie is on the deal, though.
• The boys told Victoria she passed the test (the vote).
• But you and I know she's not really in with the in crowd. She's just a number for them now.
• Talk spread throughout the house about not trusting Christine and, to a lesser extent, not trusting Frankie.
• Zach was told he needs to shut up more.
• Christine hung all over Cody again.
• Nicole seems to have vanished to a bed.
• Donny hurt his ankle in the comp -- they gave him three Advil and told him to ice and elevate it.
• So he's resting now.
• They haven't been told when to expect the HoH comp.
• Derrick says it sounds like there are 100 people in beast mode building in the yard.
• They're on indoor lockdown, of course.
• And, they can't get into the HoH room.
• Caleb hopes he'll at least get a letter. Now, in the past, the HoH in his spot gets a basket and letter, but no room.
• He's also begging BB to give him a slop pass for winning HOH ... especially in a MATH comp!
• Wait, now Nicole is packing up Hayden's bag.
• Be strong, girl!
• Things have calmed down since the feeds first returned.
• So, I'll get this posted.

Derrick is trying to control the fallout

Donny has to ice his ankle

Nicole is in shock

Christine slimes Cody's shoulder

Victoria thinks she's in with the in crowd

What do I do now? Zach, leave me ALONE!

Zankie once again

Big Brother 16: Live Double Eviction Show / HOH - August 7

Two weeks of Big Brother in one night! It's the live double eviction! 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!

But, first ... come join the party in the comments!

Julie tells us that both Zach and Jocasta rested easy. Frankie got suspicious of Derrick who then needs to do damage control. Derrick tells Frankie that they might have to send Zach home. Now Derrick's trying to convince Caleb. Caleb can only think that Zach is a number. Now Derrick is thinking once again. "Zach might be a snake, but he's my snake."

Cody runs and tells Christine that Hayden and Nicole wanted to backdoor Frankie. Then he tells Frankie. Oh, let's keep Zach! (When they know Nicole and Hayden want Zach out._

Julie tells them the double HoH twist is dead for the night, it's a double eviction. Tonight's evictees will go to jury and ... just because they're out of the house, it doesn't mean they're out of the game.

Speeches:
Jocasta talks a lot about God and Jesus.
Zach does his planned poem.

The live vote to evict:
Donny -- Zach
Caleb -- Jocasta
Christine -- Jocasta
Derrick -- Jocasta
Cody -- Jocasta
Hayden -- Zach
Frankie -- Jocasta
Victoria -- Jocasta

Jocasta is out and Zach stays ...

The HoH is a more than, less than, or exactly Q&A.
First round -- only Caleb, Christine and Zach are left playing!
Second round -- Zach out.
Third round -- Christine out.

CALEB wins HoH. Yikes!

Live nominations to begin ... Caleb nominates Hayden and Donny.

Team America Mission choices - Evict someone by convincing them to volunteer as a pawn or each TA member make a side alliance with the person they least trust in the house.

Zach, Victoria and Christine will play for PoV. Best of Duck. It's like the clown shoe comp -- bring three ducks one at a time from huge bin of balls.

Donny has won the Power of Veto!!!

Veto meeting -- Donny saves himself. Caleb puts Nicole on the block with Hayden.

The live vote --
Hayden -- Frankie and Christine planted seeds
Nicole -- Frankie and Christine again, people playing super sneaky

The vote to evict --
Cody -- Nicole
Christine -- Hayden
Derrick -- Hayden
Donny -- Nicole
Frankie -- Hayden
Zach -- Hayden
Victoria -- Hayden

Hayden is the second member of the jury.

They will air the two new HOH comp (yes, back to HOH duos and BOB) on Sunday's show. But we'll know before then! It will probably go down tonight and I'll put up a separate post for it. 

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds into Thursday - August 7

Caleb is being filled in

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Topsy Turvy and Bunny Slippers:

• The long feeds blockage last night was indeed the halfway party.
• The Have Nots and Caleb/Victoria got to eat pizza with everyone else. So, now no one can whine (Caleb!) that they're starving to death heading into the comp(s) tonight.
• They could also imbibe. Caleb apparently had a six-pack worth of beer.
• Well, that's really smart for someone who's been complaining about stomach issues!
• Zach finally went to the HoH room to talk with Nicole.
• A bit late for that, I think.
• He told her that she never was his target. She said he told her she was and put her on the block ... and that she even had a crush on him and why would she want him out if she didn't think she was his target?
• Oh my.
• She told him she knows he acts up for television, but her feelings were hurt.
• She then told him since he came up to talk to her, now she thinks he'll stay.
• Say WHAT?
• Oh, there's more!
• Now, the "big" alliance is back!
• Derrick rallied the troops and they all think Nicole and Hayden have been playing them against each other.
• You heard me.
• Frankie, Christine, Derrick, Cody, Caleb and Zach all think that they've been played by the "outsiders" and have reunited.
• Well, except Caleb.
• He doesn't really think much at all; he just gets told stuff.
• Derrick thinks that Hayden has been protecting Donny.
• Christine told Cody she did NOT say she'd put him (and Derrick) up on the block.
• (She did, too!)
• Derrick decided they have to draw the line -- either vote Zach out OR tell Frankie that Nicole et al wanted to backdoor him, draw him and Christine back in the fold for the numbers.
• Sigh.
• They decide on the latter.
• Cody thinks that Donny orchestrated the whole Hayden/Nicole movement.
• Now they decide that they need to keep Zach.
• They plan to let Hayden and Nicole think that Zach is still being voted out, but might tell Victoria.
• Hmm.
• The plan is to blindside Hayden/Nicole/Donny with a vote to keep Zach and evict Jocasta.
• And, as Frankie puts it, "Zankie will survive another day."

Guess who's back together?

Hayden's been playing us!

Leftover pizza from the party

Walking laps and checking FitBits

Bros in arms once again

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Wednesday into the evening - August 6

Amber should have put itching powder in 'em

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of I've Been Through the Desert on an Alliance With No Name:

• Donny and Nicole discussed Zach. Nicole says Zach really thinks he's staying.
• He's not.
• Donny thinks he's entertaining, but a liability.
• Spot on.
• Donny would like to get Caleb on their side. But Nicole thinks that Caleb won't stray from wanting the "four outsiders" out.
• I think she's right.
• They agreed they have the same people they don't trust: Christine, Frankie and Derrick.
• Now, that's a shame because it's the other two Team America members and he doesn't feel he can trust them.
• Alas, he can't. Nor can they really trust him.
• Hayden told Donnie the others are trying to go for a tie with the vote and blame the other side.
• @@
• Heck, if you want him out, just vote him out! 
• Frankie and Christine laughed because Zach had jokingly said he better not be blindsided.
• Make her stop laughing. It hurts my head.
• A good portion of the day was boring small talk. I heard about traffic tickets and tattoos much more than I really needed to -- they themselves think they've run out of (non-game) things to talk about.
• They later talked about the ocean and sea creatures.
• Oh. And Komodo Dragons.
• Christine and Nicole talked of blindsiding Caleb ... one of these days.
• Hayden warned Jocasta not to listen to or trust Christine.
• She knows. She may suck as a competitor in the house, but she's not dumb.
• There was some sort of kerfuffle in the yard and yelling off camera. We got fish.
• When the feeds came back on, Derrick was in a heated discussion with Victoria, something about defending her from Zach and she was saying she didn't need him to defend her the next time.
• Hmm.
• Not sure what that was all about. 
• Most of the guys played paper football in the living room.
• Then ... WHAM ... we get the highlights taped Jeff sessions.
• I thought it might be a briefing on a comp (yeah, they do that sometimes), but it's gone on too long. Maybe it's the halfway party.
• I never thought I'd say this ... but I miss the trivia.

Lost in thought

Jocasta is looking really tired

Hayden subdued? Only for a moment!

Will he go out with a bang?

Big Brother 16: Power of Veto Comp, PoV Meeting Show Blog Party - August 6

Good evening! Welcome to the party! Before we get started, I want to give a heads up to those who view the show in the WCBS 2 (NYC) viewing area. Tomorrow night, channel 2 is having preseason football on and BB isn't scheduled until about 2:15ish in the morning. Oy! However, if you're like me and your cable (whatever) company carries its sister station, WLNY 10/55, they'll be airing the entire CBS primetime block in its correct time. I guess I'll be watching WLNY! Other areas might also have programming issues, but I can only speak for this area because it's my stations involved.

As the show airs tonight, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest. But, as you might very well know ... the real party is in the comments area. Come join us!

Caleb is whining about the shaved head bit, eating slop bit and being "chained" to Victoria bit. Nicole still wants to backdoor Frankie.

Derrick plans to get "on board" with the alliance with Cody, Hayden and Nicole. Is there anyone besides Donny he's not in an alliance with?

Christine is worried about her relationship with Nicole. She wants Zach out. She tells Nicole that she could put Derrick or Cody up if Zach wins veto. She also lied to Nicole about Victoria and Hayden making out. She tells Cody who tells Derrick. Oh ... first she told Hayden!

PoV players pick time -- Nicole draws Caleb, Zach draws Christine, Jocasta draws Victoria.

Veto comp time. Caleb and Victoria can de-Adam and Eve for it. It's a one at a time comp. 16 new superhero comics, zipline through gallery, select posters matching the BB Comic collection wall and set them up. Oh, this is fun to watch! I wonder who did the artwork?

Caleb said he'd buy millions of "prescriptions" to the Amber Femme Fatale comic. Victoria ran out of time on her timer. Zach royally screws up and throws a temper tantrum, throwing the comic covers until he finally realizes that he messed up the order of Donny and Victoria.

Nicole 12m29s
Caleb 15m48s
Victoria max out 35 minutes
Jocasta 14m39s
Christine 11m50s
Zach 26m17s

That's minutes and seconds if it's not clear. Christine won over Nicole by 30 seconds. She's thrilled. She wants Zach to go home. Meanwhile, Zach thinks she might save him. Yeah, right.

Hayden tells Nicole that Christine is a squid. That's perfect. Nicole still wants to backdoor Frankie. Zach has no clue Christine wants him out.

Veto meeting time:
Zach: Grasshopper walks into a bar. We have a drink named after you. You have drink named BILL?
Jocasta: No hard feelings if you don't use it on me.

Christine does NOT use the veto to save anyone.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Tuesday into Wednesday - August 6

Talking sex, oh my!

Here's what's been happening yesterday and in the overnight hours into today in that Big Brother House of Let's Move It Along, I'm Bored:

• The Hitmen (Derrick and Cody) might be the strongest two allies in the house that no one really realizes.
• In their final three dreams, they're with Caleb or one of the weaker girls (Jocasta or Victoria) and they knock the third out easily in the comps.
• Cody and Derrick both think Donny is "getting lost in the game" and the focus is off of him ... for now.
• They know they do not want to be against him in the end.
• Donny is probably exercising more than he ever has in his life. All of the more buff kind of young guys aren't going through the physical routines Donny does early in the morning before most are up.
• Nicole says she was on a lot of caffeine when she applied to BB online. She leads such a wild life as we all can tell!
• Aha! Aha! It's not just me who's creeped out by Christine all over Cody! Hayden is, too! He, like me, thinks it's inappropriate for a married woman even though Cody tends to massage, etc. all of the women.
• Hayden mentioned it to Donny in the daytime, and then to Derrick and Nicole later on.
• I guess it irks him as much as it irks me.
• I wonder her husband's take on it ...
• Victoria plucked Hayden's eyebrows and nose hairs.
• No, I didn't take screen caps of that.
• Nicole got her HoH camera and, unlike Frankie, didn't have to be in every photo she took.
• Caleb fussed about a swollen gland in his chest, talked of his ex-girlfriend (a down home country gal who chewed tobacco) and has now decided to embrace his very, very short hair.
• He still feels the need to mention Amber now and then, as well as wear the bunny slippers he stole and hid from her.
• Meanwhile, Nicole is starting to embrace her descriptor "Froot Loop Dingus." She says she used a hashtag with it for her Twitter tweet.
• Christine is bugged about Victoria. She calls her the "ultimate floater." That's mainly because Victoria won't tell her who she's voting for.
• Ever think it just might be YOU she's not telling, Christine?
• Victoria doesn't talk game at all to Christine.
• I wouldn't, either. She skeeves me out.
• Hayden thinks Caleb is the only one who wants to get Victoria out of the house. I personally think Christine does, too. But I think Christine wants Donny out a heck of a lot more.
• All of them think this will probably be a double eviction week because it was this time last season.
• They're right. But are they ready for it?
• Victoria said the the Diary Room always comments on how nice she looks. Christine says they never say that to her.
• I wonder why?
• Heehee.
• I'm evil. I know. BUT SHE SKEEVES ME OUT!
• In game talk, Frankie told Christine he would never put Donny up.
• Good.
• He didn't explain why, though. Also good.
• I have the feeling that any of the three Team America allies wouldn't mind if another goes, but none will put each other on the block.
• Especially now that numbers will make the double HoH bit rough and there would be less of a chance of a nominee getting off the block.
• Christine told Frankie that Jocasta is a floater. Frankie agreed, but said it's good to have her in the house as she could always be put on the block.
• Well, that seems to be the plan so far, I guess. I think she's been at least initially on the block almost every week!
• Victoria talked about an Ariana Grande song with Jocasta. She wants the song 'Problem' to play for wake up music. (I guess that's an Ariana Grande song. Don't ask me. I'm oblivious to her.) But neither made the connection with Frankie.
• Later in the evening, Derrick jokingly said he was a doctor. Frankie insisted he's a cop. Frankie's right, but no one realizes it.
• Victoria told Nicole that Christine said that Hayden wants to keep Zach.
• So not true.
• Christine's lies are catching up to her.
• Hayden's latest game is Catch Christine Lying.
• Heh.
• There is fear that Zach will blow up, er ... detonate, the Detonaters when he's voted out.
• Hey, it's Zach for gosh sake. Just say he's lying and trying to stir the pot just one last time!
• Hayden told Cody and Nicole that Donny finally admitted his targets are (in this order) -- Caleb, Frankie, Christine and Derrick.
• If I were him, I'd rearrange the first three on the list a bit. I'd make it Christine (because she's slimy and very manipulative), Frankie, then Caleb as he's grown so ineffective in the game and can be easily manipulated.
• Frankie hates the cold in the Have Not room and eating slop.
• Aw, poor guy.
• Hayden told Victoria not to trust Frankie or Christine. He's preaching to the choir with that tidbit. She told him she hasn't trusted Frankie since week one and hasn't trusted Christine since she lied to Nicole about her (Victoria) and Hayden making out. (They didn't.)
• Nicole, Derrick and Hayden talked about all the lies Christine's been passing through the house.
• Aw, Hayden and Nicole had a kissing session.
• But I bet we'll never see more than that!
• Cody told Victoria he doesn't trust Christine any more.
• Well, duh.
• Victoria told Cody that Christine told her that the all guy alliance will be voting out Jocasta.
• Cody didn't speak for the others, but told Christine that it's a lie and he's planning on voting out Zach.
• Although there's been a lot of talk about a 4-4 tie on the vote with Nicole casting the final vote to boot Zach, it seems like just about everyone is committed to vote him out. It just very well be another unanimous vote, I think.
• But I could be wrong. Or someone may cast a hinky vote.

Not talking sex

For her husband, Tim

Cuddle while you can, Zankie

Hayden needs to be careful

At least Nicole doesn't have a husband

What? No women on him?

No, I don't wear a lot of makeup

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Monday night into Tuesday - August 5

Shh ... secret Derrick/Cody meeting

Here's the latest from the late night hours in that Big Brother House of Insomniacs by Night, Sleepers by Day:

• Sigh. 
• Now Derrick and Cody are back to working with Frankie and Christine (although not as much the latter).
• They decided that Zach is the one who's been playing them against each other.
• Frankie claims he never wanted to target Cody next. It was a Zach lie.
• It's back to looking like Zach is the definite one to go this week.
• We'll see how long that lasts.
• Derrick is still working his magic throughout the house.
• If the game ended right now, I feel I'd have to declare him the winner.
• But it's not ending right now.
• The finale is set for September 24.
• The hamsters don't know that.
• Victoria was just saying earlier that she has to fly home by September 23 for Rosh Hashanah.
• Did I spell that right?

Sigh, they're back on the same page

Hands down, best player in the house

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Monday into the evening - August 4

Still has Amber's bunny slippers

What's the buzz, tell me whatsa happenin' -- here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of It's Complicated:

• Frankie is having serious digestive issues with his slop week fare. He's a vegan, but hasn't really been sticking to it in the house. Now with the slop, he's running to the bathroom a lot.
• Aw, poor guy.
• Jocasta cried ... again.
• I shouldn't knock the crying. I'd probably bawl and hit the panic button to get out after a single day in the habitrail!
• The biggest news of the evening is that Hayden and Donny had a long, long strategy talk. I'm liking those two together. The more I see of Hayden, the more I like the kid. He is playing a very smart game without making major moves ... yet.
• Nicole, Hayden and Donny intend on voting out Zach as they consider Jocasta a number for "their side" and someone to go first.
• Donny and Hayden think Frankie has Christine do his dirty work and they both use Caleb. So, they would love to target Zach because that will weaken Frankie. Once Zach is gone, it's a toss-up between Christine and Frankie with Christine possibly being the more "dangerous" person. They pretty much dismiss any gameplaying strategy of Caleb's other than dedicated to the original eight until he dies.
• Hayden trusts Cody, but Donny isn't quite there yet.
• Both would like Derrick on their side, but don't really know where he stands. They think he was the ringleader a few weeks back (he was) and now he seems to have stepped down (he has).
• Both Donny and Hayden think they can count on Victoria moreso than Jocasta in the long run.
• But she's not in their inner circle.
• Hayden thinks Christine is a plant in the house.
• What? A cactus? A Venus Fly Trap? Poison ivy?
• Speaking of Christine, she's been flirting all over Cody once again. Now she thinks he "eats cute." I'm tired of her hanging onto him. Sure, Cody flirts right on back. But he flirts with every girl! She's supposed to be married. Ew.
• Hayden wants to know why he doesn't eat cute.
• I think he eats just as cute as Cody. Neither chew with their mouths open.
• Caleb fussed that the girls never clean in the kitchen. So, they did and he supervised them while wearing Amber's bunny slippers.
• Perhaps the essence of Amber transfers via osmosis into his body and invigorates him.
• Oh noes! I used the word "osmosis" in a sentence with proper context! I must be a biology professor or a scientist!
• Zach talked with himself, trying to convince himself that winning is the only option he has.
• Good luck with that one, kid. 
• Cody and Derrick are growing increasingly skeptical of Frankie and Christine. Are they bad-talking them as a cover for working with them or have Christine/Frankie drifted from the fold?
• Derrick and Frankie think they should keep Zach in the house solely to use him as their go-for in Team America missions.
• So, there's your brilliant game, Zach. You're down to the fool used for the missions of others.
• That said, I'd prefer Zach stay this week for my own entertainment reasons. Jocasta doesn't entertain me. When she goes off on the nightly prayers, I have to turn to another cam. 
• Uh-oh. Now Derrick and Frankie are talking if they smooth things over with Cody, they might have to keep Zach this week.
• Dang, we won't really know until the eviction goes down. But I think it's still more likely Zach will go.
• In the Boys Will Be Boys Department: Caleb found a huge dead moth and scared the girls with it.
• That's where we stand for now. 
• Oh! The online voting is up for feedsters -- I voted for peanut butter and jellyfish over beetloaf.

I'm not just a goofy guy

Donny and Hayden talk strategy

The pears are a cover

Is it bye-bye Zach?

Boys will be boys

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Power of Veto Meeting Results - August 4

Donny can swim the rest of the week

Christine did NOT use the Power of Veto to save either nominee. It sounds like it will most likely be Zach going out the door on Thursday. Well, he'll be followed by someone, but he doesn't know that. (Double eviction!)

Still on the block

Still on the block

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.

Duck-facing in the photo booth

A thrill a minute in the BB16 house

Will she able to pull off a major move?

Adam and Eve are shedding leaves

He's growing used to the haircut

Cody can cook in my kitchen any day!

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

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.
