Big Brother 16: Live Feeds - PoV Winner Update - August 16

Look who's wearing the PoV necklace

Yep, Frankie won with Caleb on his tail.

The ZingBot visited. Kathy Griffin was also there. The ZingBot joked about Christine (the married woman) hanging all over Cody. ZING! Yes! Christine is all upset, so she hung onto Cody. Frankie wants to put Victoria on the block.

More much much later.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds - BOB's over, waiting on PoV Friday night - August 16-17

A well-deserved smile

Welp, the Battle of the Block is over and they're just waiting on the PoV comp as I get this written up. Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Continuous Comps for Three Days and Boredom for Four:

• If you recall, Donny and Christine were teamed together as Derrick's nominees; Caleb and Cody as Frankie's.
• Christine was supposed to throw the BoB, Derrick remain the sole HoH.
• Donny was the target. Or, if tides turned, dethroned Frankie or Christine's names were being tossed about a bit, too. Derrick promised Victoria safety.
• So ... Christine did throw the comp.
• No, she didn't just sit out like Caleb did last week.
• She actually threw the comp.
• Didn't matter.
• Donny won it pretty much on his own.
• I'm sure it helped that Caleb and Cody bungled about and did so poorly.
• Doesn't matter.
• Donny's safe for yet another week!
• Derrick is dethroned, but I doubt he's in any danger of being nominated.
• On the other hand, Victoria just might be in deep doo-doo.
• Not only did Donny win, but he knows Derrick was masterminding his exit this week. Before the comp, he questioned the whole Skittles pick thing. After the BoB, at one point Derrick left the room after having a congratulatory talk with Donny and Donny just threw up a WTF kind of gesture as the door closed. He knows the score.
• Caleb is sure that BB was somehow transmitting signals to Donny during the comp.
• @@
• It was one of those where they're in a dark scary place and have to find items -- in this case, bones.
• They were all covered with blue dirt and such.
• Derrick got dunked in orange goop upon dethronement.
• Caleb and Zach were talking in the storage room. Caleb KNOWS Donny isn't what he says he is! No way could a janitor or groundskeeper be that slick! No way!
• Although we know that Derrick's plan went hugely awry, the way he's handling things shows just how good he is at this stuff.
• It's almost like it's seamless.
• He doesn't want to draw attention to himself by fighting to save Victoria when the rest want to target her. That would do his own game no good even if his hope was to beat Victoria in the final two.
• So, he has to break the news to Victoria that he has no control and that she just might go on the block and could get evicted.
• Hey, it's not HIS fault! It's out of his hands!
• She tells him that if she goes, she doesn't want to see him in jury and will vote for him to win.
• Mission accomplished.
• Speaking of missions, Team America is definitely on board with the latest one, but won't start on it until after the veto comp. They have until Wednesday to complete it.
• Oh ... and speaking of Team America, both Frankie and Derrick are acting to Donny's face that it's fantastic that he won the BOB and they're thrilled he's staying.
• He sees right through them, but remains pleasant and cordial AS IF he believes they're happy with the BOB outcome.
• Derrick told Frankie that he thinks Donny hasn't been on board with the TA thing all along while they have.
• He also told him that he's been wanting to work with Donny but doesn't think Donny has trusted him all along.
• He's right.
• If no one uses the veto and Caleb and Cody remain on the block, they think it will probably be Caleb going home.
• In an unusual sense of timing, the veto players were picked -- Besides Frankie, Cody and Caleb -- Victoria, Donny and Christine. Derrick will host.
• Thus starts the speculation about who would do what with the veto if they won.
• @@
• Victoria told Derrick she would probably keep the nominations the same so he wouldn't be in danger.
• Aw, isn't that just so sweet ...!
• They think something is up with the timing as the players are usually picked in the morning.
• While they've been hoping for ZingBot, we know it's actually coming.
• But, kind of like Santa Claus, it doesn't usually arrive until the good boys and girls are all snuggled in their beds.
• That could be 10am with this all-night crowd!

Donny's no groundskeeper or janitor!

So, what's going to happen now?

Steal those stolen bunny slippers!

This stuff isn't good for my psoriasis.

Dethroned and orange

My future is now murky

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)

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Thursday evening - August 14

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.
