Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Wednesday into the afternoon - August 20

Bonding with Donny over Jenga?

I know. I know. I didn't post this morning. But, it's been mainly the same-old same-old in that Big Brother House of Zach Pleading, Donny Grasping Straws:

• Zach keeps trying to tell everyone that keeping him in the house over Cody is in their best interest.
• He understands he has a big mouth.
• He understands that he repeats things to the wrong people.
• He understands he can be annoying.
• But, all that aside ... keep him because he's so good for their games!
• @@
• Sorry, Zach. I think the bridges are burnt, the die is cast.
• Meanwhile, Donny has tried working his angles.
• You know he's at wit's end if he's trying to get Christine to work with him.
• She sits around talking how much she wants him gone from the house.
• Hours before their talk, she went on to both Frankie and Derrick about how much she hates Donny.
• But he makes some rather valid points that she's the bottom of the pecking order.
• He kept pointing out that "some" people have never been on the block. Hmm. Who could he be talking about?
• Derrick has never ever been on the block.
• Both Christine and Frankie were initially on the block, but not in the final nominations after BOB. Victoria has also never been in the final noms due to BOB and Veto.
• Donny kept mentioning "someone" in the house that everybody likes.
• Oh my. I believe he's talking DERRICK!
• He told her that there's one very impressive person. (Derrick)
• He also said that he thinks they'd be doing the viewers a disservice if the final three were Cody, Derrick and Victoria.
• Now, I don't think he really thinks that. He's just about the only one inside the house who sees how strong Derrick's game actually is. You don't need to be nominated a gazillion times to play an excellent game!
• He asked if Frankie has noticed how close Derrick, Victoria and Cody actually are and hinted they'd knock them (Christine, Frankie, Caleb) to be the final three.
• Frankie has all but dismissed his ex-BFF. He shoots down practically every plea Zach makes.
• At least Derrick was much more kind to him although not giving him any hope at all for staying.
• Oh. And then Christine went and reported to Cody about the talk with Donny.
• Sigh.
• Not that I wanted Donny to team up with Christine.
• She skeeves me out too much.
• I only hope he can team up with whoever comes back tomorrow and wins HoH.
• I personally would like to see both Derrick and Donny in the final two.

Odd bedfellows

Talking Zach

Please! I could be good for your game!

The only one who ever exercises

Maybe he can move in with them!

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Tuesday into the evening - August 19

Da boyz chillaxin'

Here's the happenings from today (so far) inside that Big Brother House of Patrol is Over:

• Derrick called an end to the neighborhood watch last night. No explanation to his fellow hamsters. No questions asked. Mission accomplished.
• In the morning, Donny had a long talk with Cody. He tried to convince him that Frankie would take all or any of the others before him and that Derrick can't be trusted. He blames Derrick for masterminding Hayden's exit. He said that Frankie had Caleb to do his dirty work, but probably wouldn't take him to the final two. He likened Cody to Derrick's Caleb.
• Cody was rather noncommittal, defending Derrick a few times, but without real enthusiasm.
• However, later in the day, he reported back to Derrick about the conversation.
• I think Donny was going on Zach's advice and perhaps his own gut feeling that Cody was the weak link of the bunch.
• But it doesn't seem like he's weak enough or he just trusts his Hitman buddy Derrick too much.
• In the Pink Capgate drama, Victoria has cut up her pink cap (which is the one Zach's been wearing all season and is pining for now in his time of personal crisis), wrapped it in foil with just a bit showing to let on it's the pink cap. She put it in the bottom of the laundry basket.
• In a Team America meet-up, both Donny and Frankie mentioned that they might be able to use Zach (as they have for most of their missions) for future missions.
• But I doubt they'll keep him.
• It's kind of set in stone now.
• The feeds never picked up what was shouted over the fence at them last night causing the lockdown. Every time they mention it, we get fish. Other sites claim it was nasty things about Caleb and Frankie, love for Zach. However, as it wasn't discenible on the feeds and BB shuts the conversation down if they mention it, I can't really say.
• Zach claims that they called BMC the man, love you Zach and Frankie's the best.
• Caleb thinks they may have said Beast Mode Cowboy, we hate you.
• Zach insists his version is right.
• We couldn't hear it.
• But, both Caleb and Frankie were a bit subdued after it.
• And, Caleb seems to be quieter today. Both Frankie and Derrick picked up on that. They think it might be from the missing stuff.
• I'd say he's deep thinking, but I've heard of no forest fires in that area, so nothing's burning.
• BB gave them a dartboard to cheer them up.
• No pointy weapon type darts, though. They get the magnets.
• Weird instructions with it: They must turn in the darts at 24 hours, the dartboard remains and must stay in place. Next week they get the darts for another 24 hours. This will go on until the end of the season.
• Um. Okay.
• Frankie, Caleb and Derrick talked about how stupid (and disgusting) it is that Christine hasn't stopped caressing and hanging all over Cody. She was so upset with the zing that they thought she'd stop.
• She hasn't.
• And, with that particular thing ... I totally agree with Frankie, Derrick and Caleb!
• Tonight is rather ho-hum.
• So, there ya go.

Cody, you're Derrick's Caleb

Death of the pink cap

The HoH camera in action

Ohh! Darts! Not the pointy weapon ones.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds overnight into Tuesday - August 19

Christine: Is this my best side?

It's not a happy-go-lucky habitrail for some hamsters. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dead Man Walking:

• Frankie was told that Christine's stuffed bear didn't count for the Team America mission. So, they stole a pair of her shoes.
• They think everyone was involved in patrols at one point or another, except Zach because the blame was pinned on him.
• They're wrong!
• Zach was in the first patrol with Derrick! I have photographic proof!
• Thankfully the mission was going on or the live feeds the last few days would suck (as Nicole would say).
• Frankie and Christine forget quickly that they were recent targets. 
• They should become targets once again!
• Frankie, in particular, has been outright cruel about Zach.
• Meanwhile, Zach has been finding places to be alone and sit quietly for hours on end.
• How un-Zach-like!
• Caleb tried spying on a Donny/Derrick conversation which was innocuous to begin with -- Derrick had asked Donny what he was going to spend any money he got from BB on and Donny went into his Lasik eye surgery bit. He's said it before.
• They called out Caleb the Creep Mode Cowboy.
• Frankie, working on jury votes, told Victoria he had no jury votes.
• Good.
• I hope it stays that way.
• Frankie keeps telling Zach how much he likes him and then turns around and says evil things about him to everyone else.
• Christine continues to caress Cody despite how upset she was that the ZingBot called her out on it (as a married woman).
• Victoria took her pink hat back from Zach.
• He's not a happy camper about it. "You're doing this just to piss me off! You're never going to wear it!"
• He thinks all the guys' caps are too big for his head and he feels horrible without a hat.
• Well, he has a point. I don't know what goes on with that dude's hair, but it does need to be covered.
• Zach has decided he hates Victoria.
• Victoria has decided she hates Zach.
• And so it goes.
• Both should be more leery of Frankie and, to a lesser extent, Christine.
• They're the ones who will stab them in their backs more quickly than each other would!
• Zach looked all over for the hat.
• Victoria had said she was going to cut it up and give to him as he leaves on Thursday.
• Oh, she didn't tell Zach that, though!
• She told Zach that production is already aware that there is a situation and he cannot damage any of her property.
• After an indoor lockdown ended (someone outside the fence was yelling earlier), Zach and Derrick talked. Similar to his talk with Donny yesterday, he told Derrick if there's anything he can do to help him in the game, he'll do it.
• After all, he's going out on Thursday anyway.
• But, to quote a Stephen King line, I say: "Sometimes they come back."
• We'll see.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Monday daytime / Veto Ceremony - August 18

On patrol

Another Monday in that Big Brother House of Scheming Demons:

• The patrol continues.
• Victoria continues to not feel well.
• Frankie prepared a rap veto speech and has been practicing it.
• Zach did his best to convince Frankie it would be better to put Victoria on the block.
• It doesn't work.
• Frankie gave him false hope and Zach soon realized it.
• Frankie and Zach quibbled on and off. 
• Now that Frankie has decided Zach's gone, he's acting like he's a pesky mosquito or the like.
• Derrick thinks that Donny is indeed a groundskeeper.
• He is, as we all know.
• But, since Donny's brother is on a genius level, Derrick wouldn't think it a stretch that Donny is quite smart.
• He is. He also has common sense and is a show fan. It's just his luck with being the ONLY older person in the cast did him in from the start.
• Christine SO wants Donny out.
• Derrick tried his best to console Zach as he does with just about anyone in the house when they're down.
• Even if he had a hand in their sorrow.
• Zach turned to his only friend (now) -- Donny.
• But telling Donny that Christine threw the BOB comp and gave a bone to Cody didn't tell Donny anything he didn't already know.
• Now, I don't think Donny's a genius or anything like that. What Donny is is very observant.
• Zach hasn't outright exploded into full Zach Attack mode, but it's a long time until Thursday.
• Oh, yeah ... I forgot to mention ... the Veto Ceremony went down (blocked to the live feeds). Frankie took Caleb off the block and put Zach on.
• But we knew that.

On patrol

One day his face will freeze like that

Sitting pretty ... this week

Reflection on a Zach

BB Rule Book

Zach was studying the BB Rules book in the storage room. I rotated it so we can take a peek.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Sunday into Monday - August 18

They should know better

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Mystery and Deceit:

• When Zach asked Frankie if he was still putting Victoria up as the renom, Frankie said he was. But there was some hesitation. Zach asked if he would swear to it and Frankie refused.
• Zach told Donny he's sure he's (Zach) going home this week.
• Of course, Donny is out of the loop, so he has no clue who is going -- he thinks Victoria is supposed to be the renom.
• Zach told him he thinks the plan changed from Donny to Victoria and now him as the target of the week.
• Paranoia, the destroyer.
• Zach went to Caleb who told him Frankie loved him (Zach). But, yeah, he'd (Caleb) save Cody over Zach because Cody has never betrayed him.
• Zach told Caleb that, since he was going home, he'd make everybody's life miserable.
• Zach thinks that they're all sending him home because he stole one cue ball as a joke and now they think he's the thief in the house.
• Zach said that at the end, he'd vote for Derrick to win over everyone, Frankie over Cody or flip a coin if it's between Caleb and Frankie.
• Frankie told Zach the whole house wants him to go.
• He confirmed he would be the renom.
• Hmm ... the rules in the past have always said you're not supposed to tell anyone for sure they're going on the block.
• I guess we'll see if anything comes of that.
• Derrick told Zach that he determined his own fate when they drew Skittles because he (Zach) refused to go up on the block and throw the BOB.
• Meanwhile, the neighborhood patrols continue.
• It looks like this mission just might be another success!
• Caleb thinks the patrol is useless because Zach is the thief.
• Caleb talked with Zach, telling him he ought to go out like Nicole -- she knew she was going home and had a good time the last few days, left with class.
• Victoria isn't feeling well.
• But she's doing her neighborhood watch shift.
• Good gal!
• Caleb has vowed to stay up to patrol all night because he wants to catch the thief.

Cody's cowgirl cuddler

On patrol!

What? Who? Where? Duh!

I'm going home for realz?

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Sunday into the evening - August 17

Looking for the missing items

Thank Otev (or whoever) for the Team America mission! If not for that mission, today would have been total doldrums in that Big Brother House of Mysterious Missing Stuff:

• Photo booth time (Sunday Photo Funday) came several hours earlier than usual.
• Ho-hum.
• Donny is trying to be more sociable after the ZingBot's zing about his social game (or lack thereof).
• Derrick told Donny of the plan to backdoor Zach this week.
• Donny's probably just happy to survive another week!
• Derrick is worried that Zach might actually attack when he finds out he's the renom.
• Frankie told Derrick he's the only one in the house he trusts completely.
• He shouldn't. Derrick doesn't trust him and is only playing the game and trying to extend the TA missions.
• Caleb wants Donny out and really sincerely does not like Zach. He likes Donny okay; just wants him out of the run for the money.
• Frankie thinks they should set up Zach as the thief.
• They got his gator shirt, Caleb's ($500) cowboy boots, Cody's hat, Donny's hat, Christine's stuffed animal (doubt that will count), Victoria's robe, Derrick's hat.
• All heck let loose as people noticed stuff missing.
• Caleb kept screaming at Victoria who just laughed and said it wasn't her.
• Everybody is accusing each other.
• But, with the exception of Caleb whining about how expensive his boots are, all seemed to be having lots of fun with it.
• Frankie and Derrick suggested a neighborhood patrol and others got all on it.
• They have helmets with flashlights attached from one of the comps and will take shifts.
• The fingers keep pointing at Victoria and Zach.
• How wrong they are!
• Zach admitted to stealing all the stuff -- told them he gets $2000 an item and will collect the money if it stays gone until 10:30.
• Oh, that Zach!
• With all the uproar, now Derrick, Donny and Frankie have to keep the patrols going for 24 hours (with participation of others).
• At least we had some activity tonight.

Big Brother 16: Nominations and Battle of the Block Show Blog Party - August 17

Are you ready to partay? 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 all y'all know ... the real party is in the comments area. Come join us there! Oh. And, we're actually starting on time this week! Yay.

Recap, recap. Frankie's so excited. Squee! Caleb wants Donny or Victoria to go. Derrick wants neither of them out.

The cannibalism of the old Bomb Squad members begins. No one wants to be on the block. Derrick manages to save Victoria from being on the block with Frankie's approval. They know that Donny has to go up or the rest will revolt.

HoH Room reveal. Did you know Frankie's sister is famous?

Team America mission - we chose the hide the clothing, form neighborhood watch.

They have a meeting of the mindless. Frankie explains they don't want both Donny and Victoria on the block -- if one wins veto, both could end up safe. No one wants to volunteer to be on the block and throw it for a Donny stay on the block scenario. They decide to draw Skittles from a hat to decide who goes up.

Christine is drawn first to go against Donny and throw the comp. She's not happy. Cody and Caleb are then picked (to be the winning team). Neither is happy.

A Zankie segment and then a Cody/Christine relationship married woman groping bit.

Caleb wants Zach to go home. The rest of the dudes agree they don't need him anymore.

Derrick tells Donny that Victoria is the target. He also said they drew Skittles to see who will go on the block. He claims Donny was the only one not there because he was in bed. Donny seems right through the lie.

Nominations ceremony -- Derrick -- Donny, Christine. You have the opportunity to win BOB. Frankie -- Caleb, Cody. Both have been teasing me (physically attractive) and I picked candy out of a hat.

BOB time! Ohh ... the big Black Box! They have to find bones inside. One bone at a time, five bones on their scoreboard wins. Some bones might not fit. Christine is throwing it and even hands a bone off to Caleb. Donny is finding bones on his own. Donny is onto Christine throwing the comp as he places the 4th bone in place.

DONNY WINS THE BOB (with no help from Christine).

Off Topic: That Was the Week It Was - August 17, 2014

Good Sunday morning to you all! Welcome to my weekly off television topic post in which I reflect on the week gone by in both words and photos I've taken along the way. If you're looking for Big Brother live feeds (or show) content, you can find all of that right here at this link. No television content in this weekly post that I make year 'round -- you've been warned!

That said, it's basically been just another week of hectic stuff between the blog and my "real" job. Nothing earth-shattering happened in my personal life. I didn't win the lottery, nor did I have much time to do much other than work and blog. I felt like I was running late all week and didn't seem all that inspired to take photos. Sigh.

This week's random ramblings:

• They're demolishing that building by the Bound Brook Train Station with the structural cracks and caved-in roof I've been photographing for a few years now. I think they're just taking down that rear addition with the issues, not the whole building. It's about time. I couldn't get any decent shots of the demolition from the train, though.
• OCD Guy has been missing from the train for a good three weeks now. 
• That's how trains go -- people ride them for a while, then lose their jobs, change their work hours, perhaps decide to drive, etc. But I remain.
• I expect NJ Transit to give me flowers when I retire!
• My new upstairs neighbor is even more quiet than the last one although I have yet another person who's up late and up again early above me -- kind of like my own hours. I hear footsteps, not in shoes, above me and nothing else. I think I heard music coming from there one evening, but I couldn't tell. It was faint -- could have been from a car in the parking lot or next door. It didn't bother me, mind you. I could just hear it.
• Speaking of music from cars -- there needs to be a law outlawing those ridiculous sound systems they're putting ATOP cars these days! OMG, who came up with that? It's bad enough the huge systems IN cars! 
• And, while I'm fussing, they definitely need to crack down on bicyclists on the sidewalks here in Plainfield. I stand my ground on the sidewalk. I figure if they hit me, it's the bicyclist who will fall, not me. I'm rather solid.
• One of the Plainfield Narcotics/Gang cops bought me a cold bottle of water when he saw me waiting for the bus. Aw, how sweet of him! I really like those guys!
• A month from now I'll be on staycation. I can't wait! I need the sleep.
• My latest rent increase for the new yearly lease is $7. I guess I can afford that even though there are cheaper places to live. I do like this location and these landlords now are the best yet -- new windows, they maintain the elevator, new machines in the laundry room, new drainpipes, quasi-landscaping (mulch, hedge trimming and such), things fixed quickly, no regular $50 yearly increases like the past criminal landlord, good neighbors on my wing (most there for years although the apartment above has turned over about four or five times in my years here), location is good for public transportation and walking places.
• Moving would also be a huge hassle. So, I'm staying. Now it's going to be on 14 years. Oy.

Onto the photos for the week. Clicking on an image will bring it up in a Photobucket page. From there, you can increase the size twice by clicking on the magnifying glass. Just X out of that page to return to the blog.

The Plainfield Train Station groundhog

He thinks he's hiding from me. But I see him. Alas, I had no bread for him. He doesn't look like he's starving to me!

Spiderweb in the morning sun

No spider, though. This is on the railing alongside the parking lot of the Bridgewater Train Station. It's HUGE!

Chicory blossom, Plainfield Train Station

The blossoms close up overnight and open in the morning. They're usually unfurling their petals on my early work commutes. This and more in this week's flowers slideshow after the jump!

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds into Sunday - August 17

Now, that's good TV! Yup, uh-huh!

The aftermath of ZingBot resonates through the house. Oh, and the Power of Veto comp itself has put some on edge. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Zing That!:

• Yeah, Frankie won the PoV.
• But, did you realize his sister's a worldwide pop sensation?
• I bet you didn't!
• Christine is the most upset about what ZingBot had to say about her.
• Aw, poor baby. Maybe she shouldn't be hanging all over Cody then, huh? ZingBot has her worried about what her husband, pastor and family think.
• A little too late to worry about that. The damage is done. She's acting way too trampy for someone who supposedly has the love of her life sitting at home watching!
• As a very non-touchy-feely person myself, all of this caressing this season in the house tends to make me happy not to be in there.
• Derrick's zing was about his looks. Quasimodo? Hmm. The actual comment apparently was about all the attractive men in the house and then there's Derrick. Now, that's kind of mean and personal. With Christine, she brought it on herself. Looks can't be really helped. 
• But Derrick's rolling with the punches. After all, that's how the dude rolls.
• Frankie's zing was about looking pale because he's always standing in his sister's shadow.
• Oh.
• Did you know his sister is famous?
• Zach's had to do with that (silly) gator chop clap he does and being unemployed. What's so cool about them? Nothing!
• Donny's zing said he looks like Duck Dynasty but his social game is more like Suck Dynasty.
• ZingBot told Caleb that he wears so much make-up that he's more like Beast Mode Cowgirl. Heehee!
• ZingBot: What do you call a guy who wears pink, cries a lot and cuddles with men? ZACH.
• Frankie's first thought is to put Victoria on the block after saving (probably) Caleb.
• But he knows Derrick doesn't want her up there.
• He then decides that Victoria is rather harmless (and most likely the perfect person to be in the final two with as she wouldn't win) and his focus turns on Zach.
• When Zach told Cody that the viewers must notice how much touching there is between Christine and him (Cody), Cody said ALL the girls caress his hair.
• @@
• If I were in there, I wouldn't be touching him all the time.
• The Cody/Christine zing is also bothering Cody.
• THEN STOP ALL THE CONSTANT CARESSING!
• Caleb told Derrick and Cody about Frankie coming up with the idea to put Zach on the block.
• Music to Derrick's ears!
• Christine kept crying and honking.
• Cody thinks he'd stay over Zach but was worried he'd leave if up against either Christine or Victoria.
• Now, I'd like to see Christine go. She skeeves me out on too many levels.
• But Cody might be better to be against in the final two than Victoria. He's won fewer comps and only when paired with someone else (if memory serves). To me, he's kind of worthless. Not only that, but he doesn't even seem as good-looking as he did in the beginning of the season.
• Derrick thinks that the ZingBot shouldn't have brought family (Christine's husband) into the zings.
• While Derrick had been chosen to host the PoV comp, he didn't -- Kathy Griffin did. BB gave him goggles as a consolation prize.
• Frankie decided he wants to euthanize Zach, not murder him.
• Cody doesn't know the word "euthanize."
• Oh! Hey! Maybe Frankie's a PROFESSOR! 
• Frankie then made cruder remarks about killing Zach, but I won't go into them here. I try to keep this blog a PG level!
• Victoria's worried about what fans will think of her after the show.
• Heck, going onto the show, that should be a consideration. Many normal people wouldn't want the internet and TV viewing audience scrutinizing their every breath for three months!
• Meanwhile, in other news, Christine is upset that something of hers has mysteriously gone missing.
• Under the drama, Team America is working on the latest mission.
• Derrick spent forever consoling Christine about her zing.
• He really has a good heart. Too bad ZingBot doesn't notice things like that!
• They're (Caleb) not planning to tell Zach he's going up until just before the PoV meeting on Monday.
• Of course, things could change by then.

I won PoV and did you know about my sister?

Too touchy-feely!

HONK!

Derrick consoles Christine

Zach should have earned that robe!

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
