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

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
