Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Friday daytime & nominations! - August 15

Nominations Today

Here's what's been happening so far today inside that Big Brother House of Now Waiting for BOB:

• While still fussing about going on the block so much, Caleb is thrilled to be off of slop. He's trying to catch up with the calories he lost.
• While the feeds were blocked with Jeff interviews/highlights for the nominations, we got a sneak peek of what goes down behind the walls as they angled for shots and a staff member (or hamster tech!) walked through the house.
• Oops!
• There was no sound. But it looked like the hamsters were not happy little rodents.
• As per the Skittles pick -- Derrick nominated Donny and Christine while Frankie nominated Caleb and Cody.
• Caleb is sure that Survivor is going to snatch him right up!
• @@
• Derrick had told Donny about the Skittles pick and how he was the only one not there because he was sleeping.
• He didn't tell him his Skittle was already in the hat!
• Derrick pointed out that if the competition is mental, he and Christine should win hands down.
• He didn't tell him that Christine is going to throw the comp.
• But, who knows if she actually will throw it? Zach was right in that it's getting a bit late in the game to throw comps -- others could seize the opportunity to get you out much more easily.
• Derrick got the Team America mission. We chose the stealing of an item of clothes from each person (including themselves) and setting up a 24 hour neighborhood watch patrol which they can participate in, but also have to involve three others.
• They declare it doable!
• They think Caleb would jump at the chance for the neighborhood watch.
• I think they should steal Caleb's Amber's bunny slippers!
• BB gave them arts and crafts from the dollar store to amuse themselves.
• Still no word on when the BOB is going down. They're on indoor lockdown awaiting it.

Telling Donny he should be safe

Not done up for the day

Lost in his thoughts (or lack thereof)

Whatever will I do?

What's been happening since Derrick and Frankie became HoHs? Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Did You Hear My Sister is Famous?:

• The hamsters think Caleb must be the most popular because Julie asks him questions each week. They noticed that Julie had nothing to ask of outgoing HoH Christine.
• Hmm. Maybe Christine skeeves out Julie Chen, too!
• Derrick told Victoria that she's safe and Frankie won't backdoor her, either.
• Caleb wants Derrick to be the remaining HoH this week.
• So do I.
• Hey ... then they could backdoor FRANKIE! Yes!
• Alone for a few minutes, Derrick talked to us. He said it was another win for the boys in blue. But he's worried if he wins too many HoHs, they'll want him out. He also said he knows that there's no way that Donny can't go on the block this week and it's going to be rough. He predicts fireworks when they make the nominations.
• Heh. Frankie told Victoria that Julie wanted her to answer the question she asked with Ariana Grande being the biggest moment.
• I so love that she didn't!
• Derrick told Frankie that he won't backdoor him (sigh), but wants to remain HoH this week as he thinks next week is endurance and Frankie would be better at it than him.
• Both Frankie and Derrick agree that Donny must go home this week.
• Wah.
• They're thinking Derrick will put up Donny and Zach while Frankie puts Christine and Cody.
• Hmm.
• Frankie is all in a panic because Cody has said he doesn't want to be on the block.
• Heck, who does? It's about time Cody had to worry a bit!
• In a rare moment for this season, BB gave them alcohol -- one bottle of wine and six beers. Oh my. I hope they all don't go into drunken rages!
• Derrick talked to Donny. He told him that people want him to put him (Donny) up with Victoria so they would lose BOB. He won't do that.
• Derrick told Donny it would look fishy if he doesn't nominate him.
• Tru dat. But we know Derrick has another agenda besides Team America, too -- his own goals in the game.
• Derrick also told him that he's thinking of putting him up with Zach.
• But is Zach okay with this?
• No way!
• He pouts.
• Cody pouts.
• Geez, if they didn't want to go on the block, they should have won HoH! The numbers are down.
• Of course, Victoria could go on the block.
• But she can't.
• Derrick won't have that.
• Zach claims he wouldn't feel comfortable throwing the BOB.
• In a way, I don't blame him. He needs to think of his own game. 
• But Derrick doesn't feel that way!
• Who wants to see my HoH room?
• Frankie got a letter from his sister in which she said she will be hosting the VMA awards. Derrick got a letter from his wife with updates on his young daughter (who's at that stage where she's speaking new words everyday and such).
• After Derrick read his letter (second, of course) and the hamsters were praising his daughter's progress ... Frankie (missing the spotlight) had to burst in with, "Did you hear my sister's hosting the VMAs?"
• Then it's back to fussing about who goes on the block.
• Zach says it's too late in the game to be throwing comps.
• Cody says that he isn't "comfortable" with going up if Zach isn't throwing the comp and that he won't throw the comp if he goes up with Donny.
• Fuss, fuss, whine, whine.
• Caleb said he won't volunteer because he volunteered last week.
• And we all know that he doesn't have a clue how to throw a comp anyway!
• Finally at one point, Zach claimed that everyone was attacking him and he would throw the comp if they want.
• Cody told Derrick that if he was put on the block with Donny, he'd throw it but he didn't want to say it in front of Caleb.
• Christine told them she'd throw it
• They continued to whine and fuss.
• What to do? What to do?
• Why, let's draw Skittles!
• Christine's color is drawn and it is she who will be on the block with Donny.
• Cody and Caleb's colors are drawn as the opposing nominees.
• Caleb is ticked that Zach's not on the block.
• After all, Caleb has done so much for the alliance!
• (Yeah, like blowing last week's BOB throw!)
• Caleb thinks they should backdoor Zach.
• So ... our happy little group is falling apart and the cannibalism has begun.

Did you hear my sister is famous?

Am I in trouble this week again?

We might have to beast this out

Will I really be safe? I'm not so sure.

Who wants to see their HoH room?

Big Brother 16: Live Eviction and HoH Comp Show Blog Party - August 14

Hey, I think we need a blog party! Don't you?

As tonight's live eviction/HoH show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news!

Where's the party? Down in comments, naturally! Come join us!

Recap, recap. Mention of the Caleb, Christine and Frankie "exclusive NFL experience." Joy, joy.

Nicole is hurt. But we knew that. Christine tells her she was threatened with going home next week if she didn't put her on the block.

The Have Nots, Zach and Donny talk. Donny tells Zach how alone he feels.

Nicole cries some more. Yes! Nicole and Victoria talk about how raunchy Christine's hanging all over Cody when she's a married woman is!

Nicole tries to campaign.

Cody and Christine want to keep her. Derrick wants to keep Donny for Team America.

The big NFL outing is to training camp.

Live vote time. They can speak --
Nicole -- Amazing journey, dream come true, love you all.
Donny -- Great playing the game, like little brothers and sisters to me.

The vote to evict:
Caleb -- Nicole
Zach -- Nicole
Cody -- Nicole
Victoria -- Nicole
Frankie -- Nicole
Derrick -- Nicole

As we gleaned from the live feeds, it's unanimous that Nicole heads off to jury.

The HoH comp is once again for two HoH.

She was worried she'd get boo'ed -- I think she got the loudest cheer this season! Derrick, Christine, Frankie and Donny all left nice goodbye messages for her. Three of them are thinking jury votes, I think. But it was nice. She handled everything well.

HoH comp -- last night's "disturbing visitors." The old ghosts in the mirrors bit. The monitor announces zombie-like creatures. Zombie apocalypse.

Dead of Household -- the yard is done up like a graveyard. They have to answer according the the announcements from last night.

Caleb is out.
Donny and Victoria out.
Zach is out.
Cody out.

Derrick and Frankie are the two new HoH.

America's Vote -- steal clothing, neighborhood watch formed or weaken someone's game by keeping them awake. cbs.com to vote.

Julie gets Rachel's take on the season.

This is the last week of the double HoH. Zing Bot will be on the PoV Wednesday show and next week the four jurors vie to get back in the house.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds into Thursday - August 14

Up all night

Not that it matters because they're up all night every night ... but BB has them still up. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of the Undead:

• What if Frankie danced and no one paid attention?
• Heh.
• Nicole is scared she'll get boos from the audience tomorrow. 
• Poor kid. She won't get boos.
• Cody and Zach tried to make her feel better.
• Cody cuddled with her.
• But, then again, she's female with a pulse. That's enough for Cody to cuddle.
• When Zach fussed, Nicole told him that he (Zach) isn't cuddly.
• Caleb, in his storytelling mode once again, told of a time he punched himself in the face and told everyone else he got hurt defending a girl.
• @@
• The boy is whack.
• Cody joked that the show fans probably hate Christine.
• Oh, it ain't no joke, son!
• Well, I don't "hate" her per se. I don't ever "hate" anyone on any of the shows I watch. 
• But certain people tend to annoy me, irk me or just plain skeeve me out.
• Christine falls into that category.
• Heh. Derrick has to do his work again -- both Zach and Caleb are questioning why it matters whether Donny or Victoria are targeted next week. We know Derrick wants to keep Victoria around for now ... for his own nefarious game interests. Nothing sexual, mind you.
• Donny thinks he might be in a household of children who were stuck in middle school mode -- a new disease, perhaps.
• Nicole and Donny talked about Christine always touching Cody.
• Donny mimicked Cody's "baby-talk voice."
• Donny and Nicole also talked about how good Derrick is at the game.
• That's exactly why he didn't align with them in the first place, I think. He chose minions who will do his will and think it's their own idea.
• And then it happened ...
• A shot rang out! The maid screamed!
• Er, no. Nicole saw a skeleton in one of the mirrors!
• More ghosts/skeletons! 
• The HoH room is mysteriously locked and the Diary Room won't let anyone in!
• They're trapped together with nowhere to hide from the horrors!
• Oh my.
• Then the BB voice starting talking, most of it blocked to the feeds.
• We got fish, glub, glub.
• It was apparently listing off the cities (of hamsters or near them as it said West Orange, NJ which is near me but not that close to Cody) of the zombie apocalypse.
• Rochester, NY, Athens, Dallas ...
• "In the last twelve hours, 546 cases, 40% live feeders admitted to St. Gheesling Hospital."
• I survived the zombie apocalypse! Yay!
• Frankie tried to write the info down and BB yelled at him.
• They're trying to get some sleep now.
• But I bet it will be interrupted.
• Oh. And Nicole is still the target tonight.

Up way past his bedtime

Is this necessary?

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Wednesday into the evening - August 13

What has Cody done lately?

Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends! I'm glad that you could attend, step inside, step inside. (My apologies to Emerson, Lake and Palmer). Here's what's happened since I last reported on the happenings inside that Big Brother House of Brain Salad Surgery:

• Why the old Brain Salad Surgery song stuff? It's Derrick. It's like he's performing said surgery on his fellow hamsters.
• Either that or his minions are just zombies acting on his will.
• Zach has done his best to try to get the others to change their minds on Nicole. He knows she hasn't been lying.
• But Derrick wants her out and Donny safe.
• So be it, minions! Do not question divine intervention!
• Even his buddy Cody questions the logic of getting Nicole out first.
• Derrick smooth talks his best buds, telling them that Nicole is an HoH beast and, if she won the next one, they'd be on the block. With two of them up, it's very possible one would go home.
• Zach doesn't want to work with Christine and Frankie (or Caleb because he's now hooked to Frankie -- after all, he might meet Justin Bieber!) anymore.
• Derrick convinces him it's in his best interest to work with them for now.
• Caleb told Nicole that he doesn't think she's a liar.
• She's very upset that they're using that angle to get her evicted when she's only been guilty of "telling the truth to the wrong people."
• But Caleb, mindless puppet of power that he is, will go with the house vote.
• Nicole tried fruitlessly to campaign. She doesn't want to say anything really bad about Donny, but feels she's being railroaded.
• She is.
• Frankie seems to want to keep Donny in the house longer than Derrick does.
• But I imagine both Frankie and Donny will go within a week or two of each other.
• Caleb, er, Beast Mode Cowboy, thinks he will be approached in airports and Wal-Mart for autographs.
• @@
• Remember, he also thought he'd get a tux for the red carpet on the finale night.
• @@
• Nicole started packing up her stuff.
• They're in a lockdown while tomorrow night's comp is being built in the yard.
• Derrick consoled Victoria more and told her that she'll be around for weeks to come -- there are bigger targets.
• When Caleb voiced concerns about Nicole going, Derrick convinced him that had Hayden won HoH, they'd be doing it to them.
• It's Big Brother, after all.
• That's how they roll.
• As I get this posted, it's still looking like a unanimous vote to evict Nicole and she knows it.

Who needs to go next?

You're probably going, Nicole.

Zankie does Jenga

Yeah, I'm a big shot NOW!

Zach pleads for a Nicole save

The bunny slippers need to go
