Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Friday daytime/Nominations - July 11

Devin asks to host a comp

Sheesh! They're already confusing me with the new schedule of stuff in the house! Instead of evening nominations, they had them early in the day. And, tonight will be the Battle of the Block comp. Here's a brief rundown of the happenings:

• The plan is still to backdoor Devin. If he doesn't play for or win PoV, he's a goner.
• And he knows it.
• Nicole put up Amber and Donny.
• Derrick put up Caleb and Jocasta.
• They're depending on the odds in that Devin won't be chosen to play PoV.
• Whomever (in the whole house except Devin) will save someone, anyone and Devin will go up and out.
• Caleb volunteered to go on the block and said he'd throw it to "save Amber."
• Of course, some of the best laid plans of mice and men ...
• Donny is upset.
• Derrick did keep his promise -- HE didn't put Donny on the block!
• The reasoning behind the noms is that Jocasta never talked much with Derrick and Caleb, well, you know. With Nicoles's noms, Amber put her on the block and Donny repeated some confidential stuff to Jocasta.
• Weak there. 
• Nicole feels terrible about put Donny up even though they know he's safe.
• If Devin doesn't get up on the block after PoV, Caleb is second choice to go, Amber third. They can't all be safe!
• Both Derrick and Nicole realize that Donny IS playing the game and will end up having to go.
• But not this week.
• Although I find Donny a hoot, if I were in the house, no way would I want him at the end with me!
• Team America's first mission is to convince people that someone in the house is related to a past hamster.
• Yawn.
• Bigger fish to fry this week!
• I'll be back later if I can wait out the BotB. I have no clue when it's going down although it's been fish for a while now.
• I hope they keep it fish with the theme song instead of interviews or the recent "best of" stuff. With this I can nap and leave the music on -- the voices upon feeds return awaken me. When it's all talk, I can't nap!
• Gah. They just went to the "best of" reel from this season. I can't nap. But the good news is that the comp must be on!

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds late night Thursday into Friday - July 11

Frankie eats a special sandwich

Hey ... wanna see my HoH Room? Nope, you can't! I want to be Queen of the Nest and no one can come in!

Ahem.

That would be me, but not a BB hamster. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Devin is in BIG Trouble:

• Obviously, they all want Devin out. The problem is ... how are they going to do it?
• If they have a choice with the Have Nots, Devin will be one as they think the lack of food will hurt his game. The guy eats a lot and has already blamed different foods/eating habits for affecting his game.
• Amber told Jocasta that she doesn't and won't trust Devin anymore.
• Well, duh.
• We know he can turn on a dime.
• Devin, for his part, has been going around apologizing to people and knows that his time in the house isn't going to earn him the half-million.
• He reacts to things better in danger than he does in power.
• Derrick told Cody he wants to go to the end with him.
• Although Derrick had told Caleb he wouldn't put him up, Caleb said he should put him or another alliance member up to throw the comp, better to backdoor Devin.
• Hmm ... sounds like a Devin plan.
• Can you say PaoPao?
• When talking about crying in the game, Donny said, "I jerked a tear the second day. I jerked another tear a few days later. Now I could shoot a dog and not care."
• There was no crying as the letters were read in the HoH room.
• Derrick got his sushi.
• At midnight, the Have Nots were finally allowed to eat.
• Although Devin is the target, most of the girls have issues with Amber.
• That could spell trouble for her.
• Derrick and Nicole haven't talked game much over the past few weeks.
• They certainly talked tonight.
• They even made a final two deal.
• Uh-oh. Derrick better be careful with his final two deals!
• Derrick thinks that one of his nominees must be Jacosta, perhaps the other Caleb.
• Nicole doesn't seem to want to put anyone on the block!
• I think she's more willing for Derrick to get the blood on his hands.
• Nicole admitted to Frankie that she's got a growing crush on Hayden.
• Aw.
• Cody and Amber (Coder) seem to be flirting a lot. 
• That worries Caleb as he thinks he might look like a fool on national television.
• Y'think?
• Right now, the plan is to backdoor Devin -- Derrick says none of the four nominees will go home.
• He plans to put Caleb (with his blessing) and Jacosta up. Nicole plans to put Amber and "not really decided yet" up.
• Devin wouldn't be able to defend himself unless he was chosen to play PoV and wins.
• Watch. With all of this planning, that's probably what will happen!

Want to see my HoH room?

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Quickie Post Live Show - July 10

And the cheese sits alone

I'll have a more thorough report in the wee hours of the morning, but I just wanted to touch base a bit right now.

• Everybody's laughing and happy.
• Except Devin.
• Donny is about the only one who actually took time to talk to Devin.
• Devin told him that when he (Devin) watches the finale, he wants Donny to be the winner of it all.
• Devin feels he's not long for the game.
• Nicole kind of wants the small adjacent HoH room.
• That's fine with Derrick.
• Derrick promised Caleb he wouldn't go on the block.
• Zach admitted he's kind of sweet on PaoPao after their big blow-up.
• It seems like a house united.
• Well, except for Devin.
• They keep tapping those silly activity tracker bracelets.
• It's distracting.
• Derrick wants to keep it quiet that they plan to backdoor Devin.
• Hey, the dude's whacked ... he's not dumb!
• I don't think I've ever heard this much continuous laughter in the house.
• Yikes.
• Now Devin is talking to Zach and Caleb, almost as if at his own funeral. He says it's just a game and it makes people be someone they aren't. He fully expects that they'll send him packing.
• More in five or six hours when they can talk and the HoH reveal is over and stuff!

Big Brother 16: Live Eviction and HoH Show Blog Party - July 10

Hamster watchers ready? Who's going to go home? Will I be losing my blog pool hamster Paola and becoming a free agent? The feeds watchers already have an idea of the likely evictee. But, more important ... who will win HoH? Devin can't play this week, but Amber (the dethroned HoH) can play.

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. As always, the real party is in the comments. Come watch with us!

The after POV meeting brouhaha! Brittany points out that PaoPao lied to her, had no glasses, threw the comp. Pao tells that Devin told her to throw the comp. Devin, Frankie, Pao and Zach get into separate brouhahas and kerfuffles.

Devin wants to replace Zach's Bomb Squad position with Hayden. Hayden's not keen on it, but nods.

Derrick convinces people to keep Zach. Frankie tells Devin that even Caleb is on board to keep Zach. Devin claims he's a solo player now and will pick off everybody one by one, love of his daughter and ad nauseum.

To the living room ...
Paola -- Feel like a winner already, everyone is special, Devin has five different personalities and they all suck, Zach sucks at comps too, Love Donny best friend.
Zach -- Feels blessed, thanks family, love the 12 voters, not my target, keep me safe, will go after Devin.

The voting to evict:
Jocasta - Zach
Brittany - Paola
Derrick - Paola
Donny - Zach
To a commercial ...

Caleb - Paola
Amber - Paola
Hayden - Paola
Cody - Paola
Frankie - Paola
Nicole - Paola
Christine - Paola
Victoria - Paola

By a vote of ten to two, Paola (PaoPao) is evicted.

Time to crown two new HoH ... the power is up for grabs. Underwater Polo. Hit a single polo ball down to a numbered slot below. The two highest win.
Amber 17
Cody 17

Frankie 24
Christine 4
