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

Fun with the photo, 4, 3, 2, 1

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.
