Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Thursday night into Friday - August 1

Derrick consoles Jocasta

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

• As I mentioned in my previous little blurb -- Nicole and Donny are the new HoHs.
• Jocasta just about had a nervous breakdown after retrieving her bag. She had wanted to win so bad and to go out first again!
• Derrick really did a good job consoling her.
• But her first again out of a comp didn't go unnoticed.
• Zach told Nicole she could put him on the block and he'd have no hard feelings.
• He better be careful what he wishes for!
• Nicole told Cody she wants to protect Derrick, but doesn't want to show all of her cards to Donny.
• When Derrick told Nicole that her plan to lose comps failed, she told him she felt she had to go for the win with Caleb and Zach still in the game. She's sure one of them would have put her on the block.
• Hayden thinks he's safe because he's close to both Nicole and Donny.
• He's probably right.
• Donny said he had a plan for HoH last night before going into it, but it was more of a single HoH plan. He thought they'd stop having the two.
• Donny told Derrick he wouldn't nominate him.
• So, Derrick seems to be sitting pretty this week, too.
• Caleb talked about going out on a date with Amber after the season ends.
• @@
• Donny seems to be leaning towards Caleb as a nomination. He told Caleb that if he did nominate him, it's because Caleb had nominated him before. He also said it would be a nomination with a chance to win at BotB or PoV.
• Donny got a sweet letter from his girlfriend at home.
• Aw.
• With Hayden present, Donny said he'd probably put up Caleb and Victoria. Nicole thinks she might put up Jocasta and Zach.
• Hayden kept talking about Frankie being the impetus to most of the things going on in the house.
• I don't think Donny would put Frankie up due to TA.
• I don't think Nicole has the nerve to make that big a move.
• But I do think that Nicole just might be willing to backdoor Frankie.
• Hmm.
• She says she's not sure ... but maybe!
• The latest new final four group is Nicole, Hayden, Cody and Derrick.
• We'll see how long that lasts.
• And we'll see how the nominations go later today ...

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds - HoH Winners - July 31

Nicole  and Donny are the new HoHs! They're talking about working together well. Yay!

Zach volunteered to Nicole to be one of her nominations. He said that way she could get him back for what he's done to her. He also told Caleb that it would make it easier on her. Aw, does Zach have a soft side?

Let the show begin! 

Amber is searching for answers as to why she's on the block. Now Caleb regrets his part in getting her placed there. He throws EVERYBODY in the alliance under the bus, telling her they all knew it was going on.

Team America chose the two hinky votes, blame on others mission. Donny balks at the mission saying it's not in his character to set up people.

The live voting is ready to begin --
Amber -- Speaks of family, friends and Jocasta, love you guys, honest and loyal, benefit your games if I stayed.
Jocasta -- Acknowledge God and family first, trustworthy, loyal, pray for you all, etc.

The votes to evict:
Hayden -- Amber
Victoria -- Amber
Donny -- Amber (says the mission was too risky)
Derrick -- Amber (also mentioned TA and apologized)
Zach -- Amber
Caleb -- Amber
Christine -- Amber
Cody -- Amber
Nicole -- Amber

Yet another unanimous vote, Amber is voted out.

HoH comp -- the hamsters viewed videos of themselves yesterday and that will be part of today's comp. Still two HoH this week. "Getting Loopy" - a series of statements based on the videos, true or false.

Jocasta out.
Victoria, Christine and Derrick out.
Cody out.
Five-way tie, out of time for the live broadcast. Commercial.

They will announce the HoH Winners on Sunday -- but I'll let you know tonight in a separate post. Next week is Double Eviction.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Wednesday night into Thursday - July 31

I want to decline this mission

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Mission Impossible?:

• Ho-hum. They talked a lot of small talk about food and previous seasons.
• When they talked about how double evictions, Zach and Frankie are not all that knowledgeable about how they actually go down. Donny is.
• But we know that it's not a double eviction tonight.
• We know Julie always tells us!
• Caleb is sure it's tonight.
• Heh. He probably wants to go off into the sunset with his true love forever and forever.
• Run like the wind, Amber! Escape!
• Caleb says that after the show is over, he and Amber will go on a date.
• @@
• I say she'll get a restraining order.
• As always, there's a lot of speculation over who would be nominated if various hamsters won HoH.
• It's something they do to pass the time and grow the paranoia.
• Caleb says that they let him do a second goodbye message to Amber because he was bawling in the first one.
• I hope they show the first one.
• Frankie and Zach continue to grow closer. Zach promised to tell Frankie if he heard either Derrick or Cody say anything about him. Frankie is worried because Christine's name is being brought up more and more as a possible target.
• As she should be. She's useless. She can go home.
• Derrick received the Team America mission -- it's the hinky votes one in which two have to vote against the house, then accuse two others of the hinky votes from the time of the eviction announcement to when they go out to play for HoH.
• They don't like the mission.
• Donny wants to decline the mission.
• Derrick thinks they can blame Caleb (voting to keep Amber) and Zach.
• I think Donny might be worried that they might actually tip the scale and send Jocasta home. 
• Meanwhile, while Team America is panicking about the hinky vote mission inside, Nicole and Hayden are outside talking about how Christine might throw in a hinky vote just to mess with people.
• Heck, there's one just there!
• Donny finally said he'd do it if the others do, but doesn't want anyone blaming him for it later on.
• They are seriously thinking of not doing the mission. We'll see. 
• Donny thinks it's seriously out of character for him and he came to win the half-million, not play America's game.
• While Derrick admits he's also there to win the big prize, he thinks it an honor to be chosen and wants to try to complete each mission.
• After Donny left Derrick and Frankie, they both talked of how little Donny has done in these missions. Frankie wants him out.
• That's all she wrote for now ...

Zankie

Why do they keep her?

Victoria talks religion

What are we gonna do?

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Wednesday into the evening - July 30

Like peas in a pod

Okay, I'm here. I just barely made it what with that nasty Sharknado hitting nearby NYC! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Landsharks:

• Donny and Jocasta talked about immature Caleb is at 26 and not getting that Amber has no interest in him.
• Hey, everybody sees it except Caleb!
• Caleb has been running around to everyone telling them it's his fault Amber's on the block and not to vote her out.
• They lounged around without much going on until ...
• ... the Memory Wall changed to videos of each of them in comps!
• Most likely something will come up about this during this week's HoH comp or, if not, a future comp.
• So, they studied them intently.
• Frankie seemed the least interested. As outgoing HoH, he won't be playing in the HoH comp Thursday.
• Zach was the first other person to give up.
• Right now he thinks he's sitting pretty in the house despite his outbursts.
• He probably is.
• Hayden told Donny that Frankie should be nominated before Caleb because he's more dangerous in the game -- anyone can make Caleb do anything. He's just that dense.
• Of course, Hayden doesn't know that Donny has a reason for wanting to keep Frankie around.
• And Donny can't/won't tell him.
• If not for Team America, I'm sure Donny would agree with Hayden.
• Cody told Derrick that Hayden talked of backdooring Frankie if there's a double eviction.
• Again, Derrick can't/won't mention Team America to Cody.
• Derrick thinks that Hayden and Nicole are growing too close and he knows Nicole lied to him about the whole after PoV/Amber fiasco.
• Frankie had admitted to Derrick that he embellished that and Nicole had actually confirmed it to Derrick. So, one of them is lying to Derrick!
• I hope he doesn't set his sights on them.
• I'd rather see Christine go next.
• She brings no entertainment value to me on these long summer nights.
• She can go away.
• Victoria is still stalking Derrick, albeit not in a Caleb-ish way.
• Caleb wants to throw tomorrow's HoH comp.
• I say, "Let him!"
• Unfortunately, Derrick says otherwise and told him he should try to win it.
• Gah.
• Just what we need ... Lonesome Creepy Cowboy reigning over the house!
• The plan is still to vote out Amber and, for the moment, Caleb is going with the vote.
• We'll see. It wouldn't take a Sharknado to change his mind once again.

Donny checks his FitBit

Hey! Whazzat on the Memory Wall?

Why, it's video clips!

Studying, some more than others
