Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Monday evening into Tuesday - September 2

Badminton injury/foolish casualty

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Expect the Expected:

• Nicole knows she will be going home Thursday and is now holding her head high.
• But she'd still rather stay.
• Being consoling during all of Victoria's crying is getting to Derrick. His patience is starting to wear thin.
• Holla!
• Derrick told Christine that Nicole said that Frankie is playing the best game in the house.
• I didn't hear her say that. I suppose it's possible she said it as they didn't backdoor him this week, though.
• Christine said she'd rather lose to any of the other three guys, but not Frankie.
• She can't stand him, y'know.
• Nicole said that they put the exact kind of people she said she didn't like in the house. Basically fake happy people, not real people.
• Derrick has been studying for comps, as has Christine.
• Cody doesn't think anyone has been studying other than himself and Christine.
• He needn't worry. Derrick wants him in the house.
• For now.
• Christine doesn't think she's done anything to embarrass her parents.
• How about her husband?
• Cody got all worried because Caleb talked with Frankie about the idea of backdooring him before deciding to put Victoria on the block.
• Cody and Derrick think that Caleb needs to go before long because he can't keep his mouth shut.
• Of course, they could have been rid of one obstacle this week had Caleb put Frankie on the block.
• Cody and Derrick think Caleb wanted to save Frankie because he sees him as a connection to the music industry.
• @@
• The ONLY connection Frankie has is that his sister is apparently and up and coming pop star. If she's bright, she'll distance herself from her brother.
• Nicole told Derrick that Caleb plans to take Cody to the end so he "can beat the best."
• Derrick said that's foolish. He plans on taking someone he can beat.
• Can you say "Victoria?"
• I'm tired of hearing Derrick say he's 30 and a grown man. 
• I was on my own and "a grown woman" per se by the time I was 18. 
• Of course, he is in a house with a bunch of children who still live with their parents for the most part.
• Frankie doesn't live with his parents, but I'm sure they have a hand in supporting him and his lifestyle.
• Nicole is still enthralled with Derrick, now thinks Cody did both her and Hayden in.
• Yawn.

What? She's not caressing his toes?

They need to get him OUT

Can you find the dragon?

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Bulletin - PoV Meeting Renom - September 1

Scared to make the big move

As Nicole put it: "This place is always so predictable."

Christine saved herself as no one could blame her.

Caleb put Victoria on the block with Nicole going home this week.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Sunday overnight into Monday - September 1

Nicole reacting to Christine's evil eyes?

Good morning, hamster watchers! (Not to be confused with my buddy Dingo at Hamsterwatch, mind you!) Happy Labor Day to you all and I hope most of you won't have to labor through the day! This is a bit of an abbreviated feeds report because most of the talk was circular over the wee hours. Nonetheless, here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Will You PLEASE Get Frankie Out?!?!:

• Caleb is in a tight spot.
• He has a chance to make a big move and put Frankie on the block in Christine's place when she saves herself with the veto later today.
• Much of the night was spent with Cody, Derrick and Caleb discussing the pros and cons over Nicole going home versus Frankie going home.
• I personally think Frankie going home would be the better choice for all of their games, including Derrick.
• Derrick was staunchly saying Nicole should go but then admitted that Frankie is more likely to beat them in comps.
• And on it went.
• All night long.
• Now, if Victoria goes on the block with Nicole, Nicole goes home.
• If Frankie goes on the block with Nicole, Frankie goes.
• Caleb and Cody seem to have more reasons for Frankie to go.
• Either way SHOULD be good for puppetmaster Derrick -- Nicole has already told him that if he makes the final two, she's a jury vote for him. If she stays in the game, she's not going to put Derrick on the block.
• I think his main worry might be that if he's in the end with her, she just might win.
• But, even if she stays this week and even through the double eviction coming, I don't think she'll make it to the final two.
• Caleb continues to embellish his military experience. He's gone from being a prison guard with no combat under his belt to being a hero.
• When he gets out of the house, I'm pretty sure he'll go from hero to zero rather quickly.
• After the long long long (did I mention it was long?) circular talk about the renom, they decided Nicole would go home (which means Victoria will go on the block).
• Sigh.
• Derrick went and told Nicole he did the best he could, but it doesn't look too good for her.
• @@
• We'll see what actually happens at the veto meeting later today.
• Well, we won't actually SEE it because they block that to the live feeds.
• But we'll know.

So full of themselves, both of them

Call me Dino!

Am I the backup plan again?

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Sunday into the Evening - August 31

Dragon at rest

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Reality Bites:

• Holla
• Victoria is still all up in arms about Christine "moving in" on Derrick.
• Derrick is pleasant to Christine, but she's far from his cuppa.
• The photo booth opened up for Sunday photo funday.
• Yawn.
• Caleb is worried that if Frankie wins the HoH comp in the double eviction they're sure is coming this week, he'd put Cody and himself (Caleb) on the block.
• Easy fix for that, I say. Vote Frankie out before the Hoh comp!
• Caleb told Nicole that he's sure he'll win against Derrick, Frankie or Christine at the end.
• @@
• I'm not so sure that he'd win against Derrick. Frankie and Christine, yeah. But those two need to be gone before the final two. They annoy me.
• Caleb also said that the Diary Room said that they haven't been getting a lot of alcohol this season because they haven't been requesting it.
• It could be true. Other seasons they kept begging for alcohol. Not so much this year. Frankie doesn't drink at all; Derrick's not a big drinker. I think some of the others who are gone weren't drinkers.
• Caleb really doesn't trust Frankie and SEEMS to be pondering him on the block, definitely whoever wins HoH had to put him up.
• Derrick (for his own game and the possibility that Team America might carry on) keeps saying it's too early.
• Nicole tried to mend fences with Frankie. Like Donny before her, it's a desperation move.
• Sure enough, Frankie twisted just about everything she said around.
• Caleb still thinks he'll be a big celebrity when he leaves the house. He's imagining getting offered movie deals, singing deals and modeling deals.
• Silly boy. He just vanish into obscurity and will only be known by Big Brother fans.
• Cody has to pay $800 a month on his $80,000 college loan debt.
• Oy.
• Derrick told Caleb the perfect final four for him would be himself, Caleb, Cody and Victoria.
• Obviously, Caleb would think that Victoria would be the expendable one leading into the final three.
• I'm not sure that's what Derrick's thinking, though. He's probably thinking he'd be a shoe-in for the win against Victoria in the final two.
• Another megaphone outside the yard incident. They said something mentioning Frankie, Caleb and Derrick. Possibly derogatory about Frankie; hard to tell.
• They were sent inside.
• Derrick claimed they were talking trash about all of them. 
• Hmm.
• Nicole said that Christine's laugh will haunt her all her life.
• All of us, Nicole, all of us.

Keep telling yourself it's just a game

A sight for sore eyes, bandaged ones, I hope

Big Brother 16: HoH Comp, Nominations Show Blog Party - August 31

Gee, for a moment I forgot that the television viewing only audience doesn't know who the latest HoH is! Well, that will be remedied tonight. As the show airs here on the East Coast -- actually starting on time -- I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest!

As always, the real party is in the comments area. I ask that you please try to keep comments to a PG level. I also ask that you not post spoilers from the live feeds in comments as some folks do just watch the show. Yeah, they're getting only the CBS take on it all, but that's how some people do watch it.

Ready to party?

They continue on with the slip-sliding comp we left off with on Thursday. Derrick wants to go for the money, but has to act like he wants HoH for the others. Lots of falls. Ouch. Derrick got the 5k and the hollas. Nicole tells Christine the gel in the back is thicker -- Nicole figures she was last behind Christine, Frankie and Caleb, maybe Christine would help her.

Caleb wins HoH!

Frankie is bitter about Donny and feels that Donny didn't pull his weight. Frankie tells America he doesn't care.

Caleb is a hurtin' puppy, (As all if them are.) Frankie goes off on his paranoia about Nicole and Christine working together and pushes Caleb to put both on the block.

CBS is actually showing Frankie as the jerk he is on the live feeds.

They all limp up to Caleb's HoH room. Frankie has attached himself to Caleb as he does with any HoH who will let him. @@

Victoria tells Derrick that Christine is mean, has a weird laugh, laughs at everything. Valid points, I say.

Nicole tries to talk to Caleb. Not to any avail ... he'll "ponder on it."

The Have Not food is "Snot Roast" - variety meats, mushrooms and garlic. Derrick volunteers to be a Have Not.  No one else volunteers. Caleb said they've all done it twice. Frankie has only done it once but doesn't volunteer. Caleb picks Nicole. She cries.

Cody rats out Frankie throwing Caleb under the bus to Caleb.

Nominations today. Caleb nominates Nicole, then Christine. A holla to Derrick keeps interrupting it.  Nicole smart, cute, had three chances to save herself since she came back. Christine, you know why, hope you win.
