Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Tuesday into Wednesday - September 3

Another exciting game of pool

Once again, I really couldn't come up with much of an update because there's so much nothing going on in the house right now! Even the strategy talks are treading trodden trails and it's like living Groundhog Day over and over again to listen to them. So, as a result, I'm putting up more screen caps than actual updates in this post. Here ya go:

• Frankie and Christine really dislike each other. Both claim they were close in the first month, then pretty much decided they didn't like each other.
• Christine told Cody he's the only one in the house she trusts.
• She's been hanging out with Nicole and Victoria a lot.
• But Nicole is going home tomorrow and she mocks Victoria every chance she gets when she's with her Boyz.
• Derrick is pushing for the Bomb Squad/Detonators to be in the final four just so they could say they made it, much like the Brigade. He seems to be including himself, Cody, Caleb and Frankie with Christine out before the four.
• He also claims that he and Cody made their own pact on Day Two (whatever) and he wants to honor it.
• He does seem to be backing off his idea of going to the final two with Victoria. He knows that would guarantee him the win, but the logistics of getting there with her are really iffy now.
• With his facial hair and a cap, Caleb is looking more like Boston Rob (scruffy version) at times than Eminem/Charlie Sheen.
• Caleb still has delusions of grandeur.
• Frankie still thinks he's a beloved star of the show and the world on the whole.
• Victoria has found out that watching the Israel version of BB in no way prepared her for this summer in the American BB.
• Christine's incessant laugh and disgusting picking at toes and fingers still creep me out.
• Holla!
• Cody was able to change from a long-sleeved, long-pants dinosaur to a short-sleeves, short-panted one. He wears separate dino-paws.
• Caleb never seems to wear the bunny slippers these days.
• Could he be over Amber?
• Well, until the wrap party, he seems to be. He, however, is holding a grudge against Frankie for the lies told to make him turn on Amber.
• So much talk about "what ifs."
• I'd like to say WHAT IF Victoria wins HoH?!?! I know it's an improbability, but WHAT IF?
• I think Cody and Derrick would be the only ones safe with a win by her.
• I'd like that.
• We're in the doldrums until tomorrow's eviction(s).
• Enjoy the pretty pictures!

Ew! She's hugging Frankie for a photo!

What am I doing in this handbasket?

Strategy-less talk

Don't they ever refrigerate the beverages?

Nicole napped a lot

Nothing to see here, move along!

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?

Spittin' his tobaccy in a jar

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
