Big Brother 16: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - September 9

I hope everyone remembers the show's scheduling has changed to Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday evenings at 8pm ET/PT!

As tonight's show airs, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As you all know by now, the real party is in the comments area. Come join in on the fun!

Frankie wants Victoria to go. If the noms remain the same, Derrick tells us he'd have to go with Cody staying rather than Victoria because he needs a comp winner at his side.

They're worried because they pushed the button.

After messing with the button, it's time for the veto comp. They're sequestered in separate rooms as they play BB FreakShow one by one. They see freaks -- three hamsters in a mashed-up face. six "acts" and the one completing it the quickest wins.

Cody - 12 min. 14 sec.
Caleb - 8 min. 39 sec.
Victoria - 17 min. 18 sec.
Frankie - 5 min. 54 sec.
Derrick - 6 min. 17 sec.

Frankie wins the Power of Veto (the crowd boos)

No, there is no crowd at the comp. I'm talking us.

They go on a cleaning binge because of Jeff calling them slobs.

Derrick gets the next TA mission. They have to convince the others there's a rodent in the house.

Cody keeps climbing up on chairs. Caleb wants to catch it. Rat Patrol in motion! They keep them up until six. Mission accomplished.

Frankie is going on to himself about his nine comp wins.

The veto meeting (as we saw it on the feeds this time) -- Frankie goes on about wielding so much power. @@

He doesn't use the Power of Veto. The nominations -- Cody and Victoria -- remain. 

Tomorrow night -- the rewind, Dan Gheesling and a look at the jury house.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Tuesday - and then there was a dog - September 9

Ding dong, Izzy calling

Yes. As I mentioned this morning they're grasping straws to bring some sort of entertainment on the live feeds.

So we got a dog for the day. Her name is Izzy. She's only there for the day visit. She has treats, toys and instructions. BB takes her out to do her bidness. The backyard is all artificial turf, so she can't do it there! She's not allowed in the pool or on the stairs.

I think she had sensory overload. All of the hamsters are declaring love.

I say Izzy for the win!

Other than that news, same old, same old. Tomorrow better shake things up!

Loving the attention

Derrick has dog treats!

Typical BB16 houseguest - asleep

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds into Tuesday - September 9

Hey? What's that scrolling marque?

Well, for the most part, this report has the same stuff going on it as the last two. A whole lotta nuthin'!

But ... wait ... there's a scrolling marque on the live feeds page. "Don't miss the debut of Big Brother's first house pet! Tune into the live feeds Tuesday morning to see the Houseguest react to having a dog for the day."

Um. This isn't the first dog in the BB House. Who could forget Pugita, the pug dog? Or how Sloshy Josh (Souza) jumped in the pool to save Pugita? Or the day the house had a whole bunch of pug dogs? Yeah, I'm talking season one.

But I'm sure these "true fans" on the show will remember that. Yeah, right.

In other news, Derrick broke down and talked to Victoria. He told her that his loyalty has to be with Cody for the vote although he really loves her. (Not in that way -- he's talking like a younger sister.) He told Frankie he doesn't want her to look like a fool on television campaigning for votes she can't ever get. Derrick thinks that BB is pressuring her to campaign.

Derrick discussed two different scenarios with Victoria, one which will have her stay, the other gone. Both, of course, advance his own game in the house and with the jury. His master plan has Victoria working everyone his way. We'll see.

What to do? What to do? The hamsters are boring the live feed watchers right to death here!

I've got it!

A PUPPY!

There are no words

Facing the truth

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Monday into the evening - September 8

At least she's not moping

Geez. You can pretty much read my previous report and find out what's happened since. Same as it ever was ...

• Speculation on the powers of the pushed button
• A message on the TV screen said "The next live show is in 48 hours."
• It went unnoticed for a long time.
• Curiosity about why there's a Wednesday live show when they don't realize there isn't a Thursday live show. They're thinking the finale might have been moved up and Sunday is the finale.
• Final two and final three "what if" speculation.
• Get rid of Frankie talk.
• New is Derrick's wounded finger. He's worried that there's something in the cut or it might be getting infected. The medic will look at it.
• Oh, don't worry. He'll ignore his finger to try to actually win a comp.
• Derrick told Cody how important the final veto winner is, more than the HoH even as that winner is the sole vote.
• Thankfully someone in the house realizes this stuff!
• Frankie snored.
• Make him stop.
• Frankie fussed and whined about dry skin on his face half the day.
• That is, when he was awake, anyway.
• Lots of napping.
• Playing pool.
• Being in the pool at times.
• Caleb is still sure that the pressing of the button will bring them riches beyond imagination.
• Or, something like that.
• They recorded goodbye messages for Cody and Victoria today.
• Might not need them this week.
• I really don't have much more for you.
• Make Frankie go away.
• Thank you.

Too much excitement to handle

Something new! Only one cam with BRB!

More excitement!

Derrick wants a medic to look at his finger

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Sunday into Monday - September 8

The hammock didn't need replacement this year

After the excitement of the unexpected way early veto meeting yesterday, we returned to life as we know it in the Big Brother 16 house ... boredom. Here's the latest:

• They have lots to speculate about -- the button's powers, why the timing of the veto meeting and Christine's boos from the crowd.
• So, they rehash and speculate over and over again.
• Yawn.
• Derrick and Frankie have decided that they should let Victoria feel safe as pushing the button just might keep her in the game.
• Frankie is sure there will be a live show on Wednesday due to the PoV meeting timing.
• They had been told that the PoV meeting was a live one-take thing and would be on the live feeds.
• Derrick kept hinting that he'd be the best one for anyone to take to the final two.
• He also could win a comp.
• That would help. He almost won the veto, only 23 seconds behind Frankie.
• But he's covering all bases.
• Caleb and Cody went jogging laps around the yard.
• The big "Beastmode Cowboy" dropped out gasping for air while Cody kept on running.
• Victoria loves all the Donny hollas. She thinks either he or Zach must be going to win America's Favorite as both of their hollas keep playing -- it must be what the fans want to hear.
• Caleb again went on with his reasons why he should be America's Favorite.
• @@
• Although I've admitted I actually enjoy Post-Amber Caleb, no way is he a fan favorite. America's Doofus (not to be confused with Froot Loop Dingus), perhaps. He's too easily manipulated and too full of himself.
• Victoria knows her days are dwindling and there's little (no) chance of her making it to the final two with Derrick.
• Derrick keeps trying to reassure her that whatever the button is might save her and not to give up hope.
• He also adds in that if she does stay, they need to win comps for them both to get to the final two.
• Meanwhile, Frankie wants Derrick, his Team America buddy, in the final two with him.
• Cody wants his fellow Hitman Derrick in the final two with him.
• Caleb thinks he has the best chance of winning against Derrick in the final two.
• Ah, that's Derrick's plan all along.
• Frankie played Sunday Photo Funday all by himself. The others were sleeping. Too bad, so sad. The cheese rat plays alone.
• Speaking of the rat/mouse/rodent in the house (not Frankie, the "real" supposed one), it didn't go for the bait on their homemade trap.
• Go figure.
• Now, since it can't be caught because it doesn't exist, the ghost of the rat will haunt them the rest of the days in the house.
• Derrick told Caleb that he's glad Frankie kept the nominations the same.
• They're still going with voting out Victoria.
• That is, if nothing changes.
• Caleb is still thinking the button might bring great things -- luxuries, new cars, money.
• Derrick and Frankie are still more sure it's going to be something perhaps not so good, something game-changing.
• Frankie thinks that maybe Christine got booed because she was signing (ASL) things about them. He mentioned that BB told her to stop signing.
• Once again I feel the need to complain about the random shouting and screaming in the house. If they do that at home or in apartments with neighbors, there just could be violence.
• That's all for now.
