Big Brother 16: Live Feeds into Saturday evening and PoV - July 12

Guess who was drawn to play PoV?

Quite the eventful day in the House of Hamtserality:

• Jocasta, who still has to play for the PoV as she remains on the block with Caleb, is sicker than a dog.
• Huh. Where did that expression come from? It's CATS who um ... regurgitate so much, not dogs.
• Anyway ... she's very sick.
• Derrick is worried that someone might win the PoV and not use it. That would blow the Backdoor Devin Plan.
• Donny, whose buddy PaoPao went away this week and his other buddy Jocasta is on the block, was relieved when Hayden told him the plan is still Devin up, Devin go home.
• Although blocked to the live feeds, we find out the picks for PoV players. 
• We're special like that.
• Christine, Donny and DEVIN were drawn from the bag.
• Devin?
• Oh, noes! Say it ain't SO!
• Derrick and Caleb think that Devin would use the veto to save Jocasta if he wins it.
• And, if he wins it, as the veto holder, he cannot be nominated.
• Cody was picked to host the comp.
• Then it all went down, blocked to the feeds once again.
• But, remember, we're special snowflakes. We find out what happens!
• DONNY WON THE POWER OF VETO ... AGAIN!
• Although Derrick would like him to take Caleb off, Donny wants to take Jocasta off the block.
• No real difference -- Devin up, Devin go home.
• Derrick and Nicole talked about how Devin is not only unpredictable, he can be a brute in comps. What comps he hasn't won, he's been close to winning.
• Meanwhile, Caleb hasn't had a good showing since the very first HoH.
• Hmm. Derrick really would prefer Donny take Caleb off the block. He told Donny that "America wouldn't like him if he went against his wishes."
• Derrick, cut that out! You're better than that!
• When Derrick told Donny that Jocasta was his ally, Donny said she was his FRIEND.
• Caleb told Donny that if he didn't use the veto to save Jocasta, she would go home and he (Donny) would be targeted next.
• Testosterone much, boys?
• Sheesh. Pick on Donny, will ya.
• But ... Derrick is noticing how smart Donny is. He (Derrick) figured out something in the PoV, but for some reason couldn't or didn't need to do it, told Donny once (backwards?) how to do it and Donny snagged it right away.
• They said Devin was trying to cheat.
• The Have Nots were chosen. Going by the old Bomb Squad volunteers -- it's Devin and Caleb, with Christine and Amber.
• But wait ... Hayden volunteered to go in Christine's place because she would have health issues with the food.
• But wait ... Devin claims he didn't volunteer. Derrick is going to check out whether he can keep him a Have Not or not.
• The food chosen by America is some kind of tripe tortilla stuff. Innards, y'know. It does a body good!
• Frankie thinks Devin is freaking out with paranoia yelling at everyone. Derrick and Nicole reassured him Devin will be the replacement nominee and the overall house wants him out.
• Donny is worried that people are starting to think of him as a threat.
• He is right to be worried. Too late to do anything about it, though.
• Hayden wore high heels while doing the dishes.
• Now, he's whack, too. But he's more of a fun whack than Devin is.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Friday night into Saturday - July 12

Rivet-rivet

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

• As per the bulletin I posted last night you already know that Caleb and Jocasta remain on the block, Derrick remains the sole HoH and Nicole (the ousted HoH) has to wear a frog costume. Donny and Amber are off the block and safe. So far, the backdoor plan seems to be working through its first step. Oh, yeah. It's the Backdoor Devin Plan.
• Derrick told Caleb NOT to go around telling people he threw the comp.
• So, Caleb has insinuated it a few times.
• @@
• Silly boy. What he doesn't realize is that, if the Backdoor Devin Plan falls through, he's (Caleb) going home.
• He thinks it would be Jocasta leaving.
• Silly boy.
• Derrick told Cody that if he draws Houseguest's Choice for the PoV, he's going to pick him.
• No surprises there.
• On a bit of a side note -- I'm getting to like Hayden more and more each day. I find that surprising as he's a recruit who's not a real fan of the show. But he's coming across as a really nice guy and definitely not as goofy as portrayed. He's quite smart and good with people.
• Back to the regularly scheduled house happenings ...
• It seems like there's a lot of trust issues going on in the house.
• Alas, many have to do with Donny.
• Oh noes!
• Derrick doesn't really trust him (outside of the Team America thing). Brittany doesn't trust him. Frankie is worried about him.
• Then again, few really trust Frankie these days. They're onto him.
• Derick says that Caleb didn't throw the comp.
• Yeah, right.
• Derrick thinks it should be Caleb coming off the block with the PoV just in case the house flips.
• But I can't see them NOT evicting Devin if they can get him up there with no comp to save himself.
• If it's Jocasta and Caleb remaining on the block Thursday, it's Caleb who will be evicted.
• Uh-oh. I'm repeating myself. It's because they keep repeating themselves! Oy!
• Derrick is playing head games trying to figure people out.
• Nicole told him that Brittany does trust him. So he goes to Brittany and told her that Nicole told him she doesn't trust him.
• Whether for reaction purposes or to see if she runs to Nicole, I don't know.
• She knew he was lying and told Nicole.
• Victoria thinks Donny is going around lying about her being in an alliance.
• Oh, no! It's a SPOOL OF LIES! (Re: Howie BB6)
• Supposedly Jocasta, Brittany and Frankie have medical issues which preclude them from being good candidates to be chosen for Have Nots (if they pick again). 
• Hey, I know that with the old Bomb Squad rules, it would be Devin and Caleb volunteering this week!
• Victoria thinks the Diary Room loves her. @@
• Cody and Zach want to make a final four deal with Christine and Nicole.
• Hey! What about their buddy Derrick? Or Hayden? Christine and Nicole are both in with Hayden!
• Frankie thinks that Devin is in some sort of weird make peace with the world before I die kind of phase.
• Yep, that would describe it.
• Devin still calls everybody, male or female, "dude." He needs to stop that. it's annoying. I know someone who calls every guy "brother." I find that annoying, too. People have names. Call them by name or don't call them anything. Cousin bugs me, too. I'm weird that way, I guess.
• Brittany went to Cody and told him that someone is spreading rumors that Derrick wants to put her on the block.
• She's worried that Caleb is trying to convince him to put her up in his place.
• Nicole is worried that America will hate her for putting Donny on the block.
• Yup, I've been seeing some reaction to that point. However, I knew the plan would be all along that he's safe. 
• I still like Nicole. I doubt she'll win. But I do like her anyways.
• Cody thinks Amber is flirting with him for her own game purposes.
• Y'think?
• Team America decided they would spread the rumor that Zach is Amanda's cousin and it's another twist in the game.
• Lame, I say.
• But I'm all aboard for them earning five grand each for succeeding. They have to get three people to tell others and it works on a point basis for each one who spreads the rumor.
• Yawn.
• Eek! They heard gunshots in the distance while in the yard, a police helicopter, police PA calls ... and then BB demanded an indoor lockdown.
• Cody and Derrick talked about how Brittany shows up everywhere. Is she playing an Andy game?
• Derrick, most likely for the purpose of his own game, would prefer Caleb stay this week. He really wants Devin out, but now is worried about the ramifications if Caleb goes as a second choice.
• Derrick thinks Donny grew his beard just for BB. Although fish cut the feeds when he was talking about it, Donny didn't have the long beard when he saw him at the airport for interviews. I'd say he had to have some kind of beard even if it was early in the casting process. You can't grow that thing in a month!
• If Devin wins PoV, Cody and Derrick are thinking of putting Victoria on the block. Brittany's name was also tossed around a bit.
• Derrick was talking about his "past" with Frankie. He pretty much said that BB probably chose him because he made bad choices as a youth, in trouble with the law and straightened his life out with his wife and baby ... and the job in parks and recreation. He went on about all of his duties in the parks and rec job. Then he said, "I'm an undercover detective."
• Heh.
• Frankie bought the whole park and recs thing, the juvenile delinquent stuff, hook, line and sinker.
• Frankie told Derrick he's actually playing to build schools for underprivileged kids, but not to tell anyone.
• I don't think Derrick quite bought that story as well.
• Cody's psoriasis is acting up. Oh, the heartbreak!
• That's about it.
• For now.

Victoria is in with Derrick

Is it that cold in there?

Happy to be OFF the block again!

Finally took off the stupid fake glasses

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?

Basket o' goodies!
