Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Endurance HOH Comp Coverage - August 28

Feeds came back on quick this time!

 Once the live feeds come back on, I'll provide coverage of the HoH endurance comp along with some screen caps.

Right now, we're in waiting. Refresh the page to get the latest news/screen caps!

Occasional Jeff interludes, Victoria is horrible at this.

10:13pm ET - Caleb went down, started crawling and we went to Jeff interviews.
10:16pm ET - Feeds back, Caleb still up.

Uh-oh. Frankie has picked up his pace. It had been Nicole and Caleb leading.

Nicole and Frankie

No one is going for the reward/punishment

Cody looks bored out of his mind.
Christine isn't struggling as much. Looks like Victoria in last so far. What a surprise!
Frankie keeps singing and making the feeds get blocked.

10:41pm ET -- Looks like Frankie and Christine are about tied for the lead with Caleb and Nicole just a bit behind them. Derrick is doing poorly. Victoria is doing worse.

Derrick decides to switch

Derrick, far behind on the large one, goes for the reward/punishment. I don't think he'll make it.

Caleb and Nicole both have bees on their lanes. Must be the suds attracting them. Nicole went down, up again.

Nicole and Christine - Quad cam

Caleb has regained his stride.

BeastMode steps up a gear

Christine is also doing well. Frankie and Nicole seem to have fallen behind them, but I can't seem to get a decent view of Frankie's snowman head.

They're all going to be hurting puppies tomorrow.

Okay, got a view. Christine, Frankie and Nicole are about the same around the nose. Caleb's is higher.

A cricket in Nicole's lane is annoying her.

Caleb keeps mumbling some sort of army marching commands to himself.

Nicole, Christine, Frankie

Derrick's almost at the reward/punishment level for winning that one.
Christine seems to be in the lead, but I haven't seen Caleb's lately.
They decided Derrick has fallen the most/best.

Almost!

Derrick got the ball from the small snowman head -- gets the 5000 dollars and the hollas. He also gets to rest while the others continue on.

Are we sure Frankie hasn't been sneaking peeks at tennis? He's making those awful loud yells every time he kicks off from his snowman like they do when they volley.

Caleb definitely in the lead

CALEB WINS HOH - 9:23PM PT

As you all know, the real party is in the comments area! Come join us there!

Christine's husband will be in a segment and they said HOH will be endurance. If the comp runs beyond the show end, I'll put up a separate post to cover it.

Segment on whether the hamsters think it's safe to keep Nicole or not.

Frankie gets word from DR about their mission. If America voted it mission completed, in the show they'll be asked as a Have Not, what food should America give them. They answer apple pie. If she says it's approved, success. Denied, America said no.

We can add rewards or punishments in the HOH comp in a Twitter vote at this link.

Into the living room with the apple pie code. OVERWHELMING NO  on the apple pie! The mission failed!

Christine's husband with gauged ears and all. He's not overly thrilled with how she is with Cody. Some lines have been crossed. Her Mom hates it and wants her to get away from Cody. Her father doesn't like it either. The brother isn't happy either. Cody's father says they're all touchy-feely. Cody's sister thinks he needs to back off.

Julie tells us about the last minute effort Frankie and Caleb made to flip the house and keep Donny. Did it work?

Donny -- Regular speech
Nicole -- Love, grateful, etc.

The votes to evict --
Christine - Donny
Victoria - Donny
Frankie - Donny
Caleb - Donny
Derrick - Donny

Yep, Donny is gone. We're in commercial. The Bold and the Beautiful want him to guest star. He'll be fine. I think he's better off psychologically out of there. Derrick left him a message obviously for his vote. Will it work if Derrick makes it to the final two?

HoH comp start. Sloppy the Snowman, transferring snow to snowman head -- it's the slip-slide one. Smaller snowman can get a reward and a punishment, $5,000 dollars and 5,000 hollas. Once a HoH is crowned, it's over.

Next week is a double eviction.

The HoH endurance comp coverage is at this post right here.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds into Thursday - August 28

Praying for the mission's success ... NO!

Although the results haven't been announced, the Internet buzz is a huge NO on the success of the mission. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Flip-flopping All Day and Night:

• Nicole packed. Donny probably just stayed packed for the most part as he's up on the block every week.
• They went on indoor lockdown for the comp prep in the yard about noon their time yesterday.
• Donny has started campaigning. He went to Frankie making a plea as a Team America mate. Frankie told him he would have to "vote with the house" and that if he could get one more vote, maybe.
• Frankie suggested he get Caleb's vote rather than Christine.
• Well, DUH. Christine has been saying since the first week that she wants him out!
• She claims she "hates" him.
• Hmm. Before fish cut him off, Frankie was singing about getting drugs from the Diary Room. I wonder what meds he's on? Why are there always so many hamsters on drugs in the house? Can't they get people who don't need medications other than the occasional Advil or over the counter pain reliever? Hmm.
• Frankie warned Caleb that Donny was going to approach him. He told Caleb that Donny has a way of making him feel weird (and bad) about voting him out. Caleb told Frankie that Donny deserved to stay longer than Victoria because he's had to fight every week to stay in the house. Frankie shrugged (screen cap below) as Caleb left the room.
• Caleb really doesn't need to be convinced to keep Donny over Nicole. He's voiced it before even though he thinks Donny is a super spy or something.
• Frankie claimed that the DR told him that Julie will ask one of them (on the live show) what they'd like for an extra if a have not for the week. They're to answer "apple pie." If she says their wish is granted, that would mean the Team America mission was a success, it it's denied -- failure.
• We'll see about that.
• Derrick and Frankie think/hope it will be a pass. They claim they had no other option and saving Donny wasn't doable before the veto meeting. Perhaps AT the veto meeting if they convinced Cody to save Donny, but not before as the instructions indicated.
• Semantics, I say. Had they done it, America would have ruled it a win, methinks.
• Want to know how disgusting Frankie is?
• I'm sure you want to know.
• You need to know.
• At one point Victoria was standing in a room when Frankie entered (screen cap below, but I refuse to screen cap what he did). When he saw her standing there, he took his um ... privates ... out of his pants (thankfully still covered in underwear) and let them hang out over top his pants. When no one noticed, he tucked them back in after walking in back of her.
• What is wrong with him?
• Derrick told Donny that he's willing to consider keeping him (and three more Team America missions), but it's Frankie on the fence about it.
• Yeah, right, Derrick. I like ya, dude. But you're just going for his jury vote on that one!
• Derrick claims to be torn and, at times, he honestly seems to be. If the others (Frankie, Caleb) decide to keep Donny, he'd go for it rather than be odd man out. But he honestly wants to keep Nicole over Donny as Nicole is better for his personal game. Donny has him made; Nicole via Victoria has fallen into his web.
• Caleb pushed Derrick for a keep Donny vote.
• And, so it went ... flip-flopping throughout the evening into the night.
• Derrick told us (the camera, alone in the room) that he could flip the house (keep Donny) if he wanted to.
• We know he could.
• So, do it, kiddo!
• But I doubt he will.
• Frankie wants Nicole to go because she'd put him up on the block if she wins HoH.
• Derrick told Nicole that she needs to put Frankie on the block if she wins HoH.
• Now Nicole only likes Victoria. Well, Donny, too. But Donny will be gone (as far as she can tell).
• Nicole told us (and Derrick separately) that she deliberately folded on the veto because she knew what Cody was doing and knew Donny was their target, not her. She couldn't risk Donny winning.
• She told us she has to play strong now.
• Talking with Donny, Caleb told him that he's only one vote and can't make it happen. 
• So, although hope was up for a Donny save, it still looks like a Donny go.
• Derrick has done it again.
• Puppetmaster.

Sigh

Caleb proves he can jump high

Big Brother 16: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 27

Are you ready to party? As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news!

But, as you all know by now ... the real parTAY is in the comments section. Come watch the show with us and join in on the fun!

Cody is pondering putting Frankie up. Derrick is a naysayer.

Donny gets the Team America mission which is to create their own mission. He'd like the mission to keep all the members in the house. America will vote on whether what they do is worthy. It has to be done by veto meeting time.

Victoria's wisdom teeth are coming in and she's not only in pain, but has chipmunk cheeks. She passes out in the bathroom and Nicole calls Derrick to help. Derrick yells for a medic and tries to help her the best he can. The medic treats her and she's feeling a bit better. Now she feels loved.

Frankie and Derrick don't think America wants the mission to be to save Donny. Little do they know ...!

Veto players pick time -- Cody draws Christine who makes a horse noise, Nicole gets Derrick, Donny draws Frankie. He didn't want Frankie.

Frankie wants to put a play on. Derrick agrees that the play isn't a great idea and Donny hates it. He thinks Frankie is always "up there" and never on a "Donny level." Derrick tells him that it's too risky for their own games to try to flip the house.

The veto comp is as they thought, counting fold or stay. The others come up with a plan to rig the comp so Donny doesn't win. They have a Scorpion show tie-in. The winner not only wins veto, but gets a special showing of the new Scorpion TV show.

First round, the perfect numbers guy Frankie is out. Donny wins the round.
Second round, Cody wins.
Third round, Cody wins as all fold. He only needs one more win.
SHEESH! They all folded and Cody wins veto!

They deserve to lose for that! They obviously don't know when to hold or when to fold! By folding, it was an automatic win for Cody. Cody invites Donny and Nicole to attend the show with him.

Frankie has this brilliant idea to put on a play. @@

They play the evicted hamsters. @@

Donny's Devin is spot on.

I say no.

Cody would like to take someone down and put up Frankie. They'd have the votes. Derrick is reluctant.

Time for the veto meeting. Donny congratulates him, would love to stay, will respect if he doesn't use it on him. Nicole doesn't expect it. Cody chickens out and leaves both of them on the block instead of going for a Frankie ouster. I would have respected him so much if he had made the big move.

Survivor: San Juan Del Sur Cast Video Released

There's good news; there's bad news. The good news is there are no returning players this season. The bad news is that we do know a few of them. The "twinnies" from The Amazing Race can't, won't last too long, will they?
