Survivor: San Juan Del Sur - Season Premiere Blog Party

Survivor fans ready? We're heading into another season of Blood vs. Water! Albeit with a few familiar faces, (baseball's John Rocker, the "twinnies" from The Amazing Race), at least it's not former players. I like to see different faces on competition reality shows, perhaps with an "all-star" type season now and then. But I'm not too keen on previous players playing new players. I would rather not see the twinnies from TAR, but working apart they just might be bearable.

Just a few notes before we get on with the blog pool and the show:

• Remember! The 90-minute season finale of Big Brother 16 directly follows this 90-minute season premiere of Survivor! Claim your comfy spot early and settle in with snacks and tasty beverages! You're in for the long haul tonight!
• I'm setting things up so that the blog party post for the BB16 finale will show a few minutes before Survivor ends. So, when the party here wraps up, refresh your page so the new BB16 blog party post shows and join in there!
• Although entries for the blog pool for Survivor are closed (see list below), you still have time to enter the blog pool for The Amazing Race! If you want to enter that pool, please go to this TAR blog pool entry post and leave a comment there by Friday, noon ET. Only enter on that post as you might be (probably will be) overlooked if you put your entry request in on any other post. Merci!

As the show airs here, I'll update this post with the major happenings. You'll need to refresh the page for the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join in on the fun!

Lifeguard Laurie has revealed the random picks for the blog pool -- who's your hamster er, castaway? Laurie adds: "First people out of the pool will be randomly added to teams with only 2 people. Just think nobody should go home the first night. They barely get their feet wet!" You know, she rocks! 

Pool People
Alec = Karen in Case, Merrilee,
Baylor = Glenn, maquinn78, Sharon S
Dale = Brian, Margo,
Drew = Delee, Petals, SueGee
Jaclyn = CYW Coleman, rbennie,
Jeremy = Becky, Nana in the NW,
John R = Cheryl NC, MikesGirl, Terry in TX
Jon M = Donna in Alabama, Laurie,
Josh = crob61, Rochelle,
Julie = Donna NY, meb,
Keith = Donna in FL, PDX Granny,
Kelley = Babs Dud, ML, Russ
Missy = Ed in Ohio, Monty924, Sharon N
Nadiya = Jackie, Lynn1
Natalie = Jennasmom, Kelsey NY,
Reed = David, Kathy,
Val = Brenda, Nickelpeed,
Wes = Buzzmaam, ORKMommy, sanra

Oh, wow! I get one of the twinnies! I'm so darn lucky in these random picks!

On with the show we will go ...  

Silly castaways, they think they'll be working with their loved ones. So silly! They're being given flints as the duos to learn how to make fire. 

Monkeys! I see monkeys! Luck be a monkey tonight. Okay. Now I'm being silly. 

It will take me some time to tell who's whom on the show. Right now we're getting an intro into each "team." Who, of course, aren't teams and will be split up to compete against each other.

Now, they're split into two tribes. John Rocker feels he should take care of his woman. Keith tells us he recognizes John and that he's an "ass" -- was one in baseball and seems to be one now. 

First Reward Challenge -- one person races to retrieve rings from ropes and get two platforms. Jeremy goes for his tribe; competes against his wife Val (first twist of the game according to Jeff). They're playing for flint and a bag of beans -- loser will be sent to Exile Island. Oh my.  The one exiled will be back for the Immunity Challenge.

Jeremy wins reward for his tribe and sends his wife Val to Exile Island.  Jeremy has to pick one person to go with Val to Exile Island. He chooses Keith, part of the father/son team (father) because he thinks he's a woodsy type who will protect his wife. Keith is on Jeremy's tribe -- he had to pick someone from his own tribe to go.

Jeremy feels very bad about sending his wife to Exile, but wastes no time running around trying to get together an alliance.

On the other tribe, Dale is already being typecast as the "old guy." He finds a decal doohickey on the water source cover, pockets it thinking it's not the hidden idol but might save him at one point. He breaks his glasses in half to double their power and create fire.

On Exile, Val got a clue for the hidden idol at her camp while Keith got a blank note. 

John Rocker is trying to deny who he is, but it's not working with Wes. Now he wants to target Wes at the first tribal they go to. 

Immunity Challenge time. Val and Keith return from Exile Island. Race to top of tower, under obstacle, get three bags, climb three walls -- one with ropes, one with pegs, one just each other helping. Then three build a puzzle. (The making of this challenge is on the CBS website -- it's supposed to be the toughest ever. The puzzle pieces to make the Mayan puzzle weigh 50 pounds each.)

The tribe with Jeremy on it wins. Natalie, the twinnie, is also on that tribe.  

Coyopa (sp.?) is the tribe that lost. I have to get these tribe spellings down right. Ah, Hunahpu seems to be the winning tribe's name. Eep. Why can't they just be Smith and Jones?

Ohh ... Val's clue led her to the water source. That indeed could have been the idol Dale found!

Dale tells the others that Nadiya should go because she was a backstabber on TAR.  Val tries to put together an all girl alliance which includes Nadiya. They want to include Josh, the gay guy. @@ Oh noes! They want to target DALE. I like Dale! I'd rather they target Nadiya, please.

Tribal Council time. Time for Jeff's "Probsting" questions.

Time to tally the votes: Nadiya, Dale, Baylor, Dale, Nadiya, Dale, Nadiya, Nadiya, Nadiya!

Yay! I'm free from my random blog pool pick gal! (I really don't care for the "twinnies.")

Coyopa also got flint after the tribal council. 

The Big Brother 16 season finale blog party post is up and running if you wish to head there. 

Big Brother 16: Last Live Feeds Update of the Season - September 24

The Memory Wall

Welp, this is it! My last live feeds report on the BB16 happenings inside the house. Granted, there has been little to report on the last few days. But, here goes Hamsters in the Hole:

• BB has been kind enough to bring in food for their lunches the last several days.
• Victoria has given up begging Derrick for the final two.
• They lamented the loss of the pool table and yard when lockdown came yesterday.
• Every time they're somewhere, it's like, "I/we am/are the last one(s) here to be in this room, play pool, be in the yard, etc."
• Lots of reminiscing.
• It's Derrick and Cody vying for the final HoH comp win tonight. 
• It doesn't matter which one wins.
• Derrick will take Cody to the final two. Cody will take Derrick to the final two. Victoria will just go out the door.
• There was an interesting talk between Derrick and Victoria in the wee hours of the morning today.
• He all but came out and told her that he will go with Cody to the final two.
• He said that he brought her along this far to show that she deserves to be there and to give her the chance to win comps and go on on her own.
• He just thinks, due to things said by others, that he'd have no chance to win against her in the final two.
• He has to think of why he's there -- to better his family's finances for the future.
• And, he can't do that if he makes the wrong decision now.
• He told her he thinks he has a much better chance to win against Cody in the final two.
• She, in his mist, agrees and says she'll totally support him. She said she just didn't want to hear that he liked and worked with Cody more than he liked and worked with her.
• He's no dummy. He ain't gonna say that! He said the perfect thing to her, as he has said to so many so many times this season.
• Hopefully, he can mist the jury, too.
• They had a final bit for BBAD last night and for the live feeders this morning.
• Bring on the finale!

Now he snuggles with Victoria

The Amazing Race 25: Blog Pool OPENS and Meet the Cast Video

Wow. This is the 25th season of The Amazing Race! Of course, since there are two seasons per year, we're not THAT OLD. We have a new night for the show this year -- one which should rid us of that pesky sports lead-up and delay problems. About time ...! The show starts this Friday night (September 26) at 8pm ET/PT.

The Magnificent Margo and Mom will be once again running the blog pool for TAR. If you wish in on the pool, please sign up on this post (and this post only) by noon ET on Friday. If you sign up on any other post, it might be missed. In the pool, you'll randomly be assigned a team to cheer on until they are Philiminated or win it all. Come join in on the fun! The prize? Why, bragging rights, of course.

I think it's time we meet the cast --

Ready? GO!

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds into Tuesday - September 23

Derrick packs for the first time on the show

What? There are still hamsters in the house? Here's what's been going down in that Big Brother House of Prolonged Misery:

• Lots of pool playing. I mean LOTS of it.
• At least that's a bit better than watching them play chess.
• Of course, the pool players are Derrick and Cody. Victoria has rarely played all summer.
• She's barely played the game of Big Brother, either.
• Cody is the only one exercising. He runs, lift weights, does sit-ups and crunches. He needs to regain his manly figure.
• Derrick has alternately been teasing Victoria about "knowing the real me" and "you don't know the real me."
• Derrick got his suitcase for the first time all summer. He found a pack of cigarettes he had bought to use to schmooze with if there had been smokers in the house.
• He scared Victoria by telling her he was a smoker.
• He's not.
• They're all excited about seeing their families.
• Victoria told the guys that she can't talk to them after Sundown on Tuesday because of Rosh Hashana. 
• They're probably relieved.
• Cody wants BB to give them the comic page art from that comp. I don't blame him. I'd want mine if I were in there!
• BB gave them a small amount of booze. Cody was thrilled.
• Cody wants to become friends with fellow Jersey BBer, Enzo.
• The Meow Meow and Model Boy. Hmm.
• Derrick and Cody were glad there were no racist incidents in the house this season like last year's debacle.
• I said debacle.
• They didn't.
• They'd probably think I'm a college professor at Harvard if they heard me using the word.
• Victoria has calmed down a lot.
• Derrick has told her plenty of times that, by getting her as far along as he could, it had been up to her to win comps to further herself.
• That's about it.

Prone to loud outbursts of joy

Is sure Derrick will win it all

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds into Monday - September 22

They gave us comp goggles!

Yep, the three hamsters are still in the house! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of About Five Days Too Long:

• They haven't killed each other yet.
• Cody and Derrick have verified and reverified that they will take each other to the final two when one of them wins the final part of the final HoH.
• Victoria, having lost the first two parts, is totally out of it unless one takes her with him.
• That just ain't gonna happen.
• BB has told them they cannot tell her that they (Derrick) won't take her to the final two.
• She's calmed down a bit at bugging him about it.
• However, sometimes she bursts into begging.
• I still think her jury vote will go to Derrick for the win anyway.
• Nonetheless, she keeps hoping for a miracle.
• (Ain't gonna happen.)
• Yesterday, BB ordered lunch for them from Panera.
• Lots of pool playing.
• Some playing in the pool.
• Much sitting around wondering about the jury.
• At one point they discussed Survivor. Cody didn't like the winner Tony because he lied about being a cop.
• Heh.

Dreaming of getting out of the house

Baking for the boyz

Off Topic: That Was the Week It Was - September 21. 2014

Good Sunday morning to everyone! Welcome to my weekly off television topic reflection on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken along the way! If you're looking for my latest Big Brother television show lives feeds reports, you can find those right here at this link.

I don't really have much to report on this week. I was on a staycation. I rested. I enjoyed my new refrigerator. I went to the park one day. I rested some more. Onto the photos --

Stretching my wings

This is but a teaser for the slideshow below. The ducks of Mindowaskin Park will put on a show for any human who comes along.

Late season bees buzzed about

Enjoy the ducks at the park! If you click on the diagonal arrow on the bottom right, this slideshow will go fullscreen for you.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds into Sunday - September 21

I don't want to talk about this for four days!

As with any final three in the dwindling days in the house, there isn't a lot going on in the Big Brother House of Antsy Hamsters:

• The final part of the HoH comp will be on the live finale show -- Derrick against Cody.
• Victoria knows she's out of the whole shebang unless one of them, either of them, take her to the final two.
• She doubts Cody will take her.
• She thought Derrick would take her, but didn't realize until last week that Derrick and Cody had a final two deal.
• When Cody and Derrick talked, Derrick told Cody that the Diary Room told him he cannot tell Victoria that he wouldn't/won't take her to the final two if he wins HoH.
• Meanwhile, Victoria is coming to the realization that Derrick probably won't take her to the final two.
• And on and on.
• Derrick had a big long talk with her pretty much telling her he doesn't want to talk about it.
• He claims that he doesn't know what he'll do.
• But he did tell her (and she knew) that if he's in the final two with her, others have promised in spite that they would vote for her to win.
• All the time they talked, Cody played pool by himself and amused himself.
• It looks like we'll have a Cody/Derrick final two.
• But I don't want to talk about that for the next four days!

But ... but ...

Still friends?

Just tell her, dude!

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Part 2 HoH winner - September 19-20

Cody in agony locked in HoH room waiting

Well, part two of the final HoH comp is over.

• Cody was locked forever in the HoH room alone. The feeds had been blocked for more than a few hours when BBAD came on and they finally showed him on the feeds and the show.
• The comp had them scaling walls and putting placards with hamster faces in order.
• Victoria apparently did not throw the comp.
• She lost it anyway.
• Part three will be Cody and Derrick on the live show.
• Victoria cried before joining the boys.
• The boys congratulated each other as winners of the show before Victoria joined them.
• In his alone time in HoH, Cody definitely said he would take Derrick to the final two.
• It's still a mystery which one Derrick would take if he wins HoH.

BB gave them Chinese food earlier today

Victoria cries after losing comp

Big Brother 16: Final HoH Comp, Final Three Show Blog Party - September 19

I hope everyone remembers that the show is on tonight! As it airs here, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news!

As always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join in on the fun!

BB gives the final three breakfast complete with champagne. Now they can reminisce.

And reminisce.

And reminisce.

Yay! Izzy the dog's visit!

Finally they show the hang gliders over the way cool set. The final HoH starts. All three can complete. "Fly high or Bye-bye."

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Thursday into Friday - September 19

I think I'm here for a reason

Good morning, hamster watchers! Before I get started with the latest oh-so exciting live feeds coverage (yeah, that's sarcasm), I'd like to direct anyone who wants to be in the Survivor blog pool over to this post here to sign up. Please do not sign up on this post. That post linked is the only place Lifeguard Laurie will be looking for pool requests!

Okay. Onto the hamsters:

• We thought it was boring before.
• That was nuthin'!
• I'd like to know what's going on with the word "crush" this season. They don't eat a bag of chips; they CRUSH it. They can't win a comp; they CRUSH it. It's not a popular expression around here, but I've heard it all season on the show. What's up with that?
• Time for me to CRUSH this live feeds report!
• Yawn.
• The feeds were blocked for a good part of their morning for the final three's reminiscing party, complete with champagne, orange juice and brunch.
• Derrick, who hasn't had alcohol all season (until they gave them champagne on Wednesday night for final three) drank some. Then his tummy hurt.
• I dunno. If it were me, I'd rather frozen strawberry margaritas rather than champagne. But, of course, they don't ask me. Nor am I there.
• They talked about their families coming for the finale. Victoria is worried because finale night is Rosh Hashana.
• They napped.
• They shot baskets with the fake limes again.
• BB gave them cards.
• They played cards.
• They played hide and seek.
• They napped.
• They studied for the memory comps and rehashed the season.
• They talked about what the jury might think of them.
• They snacked.
• Today should be predictable. Victoria will either lose the comp against Derrick on her own or throw it to him so he goes against Cody in the last part.
• Derrick has told told her that he understands her situation and cares about her. He has told her he'd take her to the final two.
• I think he understands his own situation and cares about himself in the game ... and winning it all.
• As it should be.

A boy and his rolling pin

Yep, I'm still here!

Survivor: San Juan Del Sur - Blog Pool OPENS and Jeff's cast assessment

The latest incarnation of Survivor (San Juan Del Sur: Blood vs. Water) starts Wednesday night, September 24, at 8pm ET/PT. That, of course is the lead-in for the season finale of Big Brother 16.

Lifeguard Laurie has graciously offered to run the blog pool for the show once again. (Need I say she rocks?)

I want in! What do I do?

If you want in to the blog pool, you need to sign up in the comments of this post and this post only! Please don't try signing up on any other posts -- we might miss your comment.

Is there money involved in this?

Of course not! You needn't pay anything to get into the pool. You don't need to buy a seasonal beach pass or anything! Mind you, you don't win any money either. What you do win is bragging rights until the next season and the smugness that goes with it.

How does it work?

 Lifeguard Laurie makes random picks betwixt the castaways and the blog folks. You cheer on that castaway all season until they either win or get kicked off the island. (Well, off the Nicaragua coast, that is.)

When is the cut-off for entering?

All pool requests must be in comments to this here post and submitted by Tuesday, September 23, 5pm PT (which is 8pm ET). Be there or be square.

Without any further ado, here's Jeff Probst's cast assessment video for the season:

See you in the pool!

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds into Thursday - September 18

Cody celebrates his HoH Part 1 win

Not too much to report today (unless you missed my endurance comp post from last night). But, here ya go:

• Yeah, Cody won the comp. He would have liked to see how long he could actually have lasted up there but no one (Derrick, Victoria) would play along.
• Derrick smoothed over the Hitmen announcement with Victoria.
• Victoria (unofficially) has offered Derrick part of her winnings if she makes it to the final two and not him.
• Shh. That's a secret and it's not allowed.
• According to the Derrick/Victoria plan, she was supposed to win this part of the three part comp as he's stronger on the mental challenges.
• Instead, surprise of all surprises, she went out first.
• Who woulda thunk that would happen?
• Okay, yeah. All of us.
• Derrick was ticked a while at Victoria because she hinted that he threw the comp.
• I personally think he probably did. He knew he couldn't win it against Cody and basically just wanted to stay up there a "respectable" time.
• The feeds blocked as he went down and even Victoria missed his fall/jump as her head was down. 
• He claims he slipped.
• We'll see about that.
• Now Derrick and Victoria will have to go against each other in the second part of the comp.
• Derrick tells her he can't tell her what to do, BUT he needs to win because she wouldn't do well in the third part against Cody.
• Then he tells her she has to do what she wants.
• But he needs to win.
• Heh. The puppetmaster strikes again.
• Who wants to bet right now that the final part of the comp is between Cody and Derrick?
• What? No one?
• Good. There's no wagering on this blog!
• Lots of talk about the alliances of the summer.
• Cody and Derrick keep telling Victoria that she's the Hitmen's little sister and they kept her safe all summer albeit not telling her outright about them.
• Both Victoria and Cody think they will be in the final two with Derrick.
• Only one of them can be.
• Either of them would pick him.
• It's hard to tell which one he'd pick as he has such a convincing scenario presented to each of them and he hasn't confided in us.
• Of course, with Cody, his story is Hitmen, Day 2, etc.
• With Victoria, it's special relationship, little sister, will remain good friends forever.
• Today they should have the reminisce breakfast for taping.
• I'm not sure when Part Two of the HoH comp will be. It might be live on Friday's show. I just don't know.
• We all know Part Three will be on finale night.
• Lots of time between now and then.

Big Brother 16: Final HoH Comp Part One Endurance Updates - September 17

The feeds came up for a bit. Endurance comp in motion.

They're on small platforms hanging onto hang glider doohickeys overlooking fields and farms. Nice set-up. The rain comes and goes. Sometimes heavy.

They're also raising and lowering the gliders. There is lightning during the rain, too.

Victoria is starting to say her hands hurt.

8:37pm their time -- Victoria's out. Derrick asks Cody if he wants him to hang on a bit, then jump.

Derrick keeps offering to throw it to Cody. Cody doesn't want to do it. He wants to see it through.

8:54pm their time, Derrick is out. Cody wins Part One of the final HoH.

Big Brother 16: Live Eviction Show to final three blog party - September 17

We're getting down to the wire now! Tonight's live eviction show is actually live unlike last night's pseudo-live show. As it airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest!

But first ... you know where the party is. I'll see you in the comments!

They show Derrick letting Frankie know he's going. BB doesn't like that. Frankie tells them he will singlehandedly pick to winner of this game as he's so influential with the jury. @@

This was happening during our feeds block out. BB doesn't like them to tell the target.

Aw, they taped Derrick's wife and Tenley giving him a holla. How sweet!

Heh. Derrick convinced Caleb to roughly volunteer to go on the block. Dang, he's good.

Nominations ceremony -- Victoria and Caleb. He blames the Vic nom on them not getting along. Caleb, crush the veto.

A Caleb family segment.

Power of Veto comp time! It's based on the new series Stalker. (You'd think Caleb would have this one in the bag ... Amber!) They have to complete puzzles by matching hamsters to the clues given.

Derrick does NOT want to win this one. It serves him no benefit.

CODY wins the PoV!

Caleb is sure the final three deal is sealed -- himself, Cody and Derrick.

I've said it often this season -- too bad, so sad. He doesn't see the writing on the wall.

Cody can't change the noms as he and Derrick can't go on the block. But Victoria and Caleb can plead for their lives in the game with him. Victoria -- congrats to final four, love game, love them, congrats Cody, do what's best for your game. Caleb -- God glory and praise, troops, church, family, loyalty much more than a word, you're safe because of me. Victoria hasn't won anything. Loyalty, or send my out with the sharpness of your judy.

Cody tells of the Hitmen and gets Derrick's name in the final two decision. Oy! He evicts Caleb.

The final HoH comp part one won't air until the Friday episode.

BULLETIN: The feeds were blocked at about 10:20pm ET for what is probably the start of part one of the final HoH comp. When they come back on -- if the comp is in progress, I'll post updates and screen caps in a separate post. If it's completed, I'll post the results.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Nominations, PoV Winner Bulletin - September 16/17

The HoH gets no blood on his hands

Derrick pretty much has it made in the shade. Here's a quick rundown --

• As expected, he nominated Victoria and Caleb for eviction.
• Cody won the Power of Veto again.
• The Hitmen's next target was Caleb unless something changed drastically during the two feedless days.
• Cody can't save anyone with the veto as he and Derrick cannot go on the block.
• Cody is the sole vote.
• Caleb is sure that Cody will vote out Victoria.
• Victoria and Derrick are still acting on the outs.
• Cody should vote out Caleb, the largest threat (other than Derrick) for the win.
• Derrick once again won't have the "blood on his hands."
• The final three should be Victoria, Cody and Derrick. 

Caleb will get bloody if he keeps picking his arms

Big Brother 16: Not So Live Eviction Show Blog Party - September 16

Bring your popcorn, get that grill going! Are you ready to party bloggy-style?

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! As always (and perhaps especially tonight), the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Rewind recap and more recap. Frankie is shocked. Too bad, so sad. Caleb has a big mouth. He pretty much told Frankie that the others consider him (Frankie) a threat.

Because they know what the veto comp will be, they're studying. Relentlessly studying.

Ack. The Team America offer rumored is TRUE. TA is over, playing for yourself. As an individual, if you win, you take home an extra 50 grand. Note that there's nothing about BOTH of them making it to the final two. It's just if either Frankie or Derrick win the show, it will be $550,000, not $500,000.

Freak Show comp is on again. Cody is up first.

Cody's time: 2:21
Caleb can beat it, nor Victoria. Frankie out. Derrick was almost done when time ran out.

Cody wins Power of Veto!

Veto meeting: Victoria gives her usual speech. Frankie thinks Derrick should be on the block instead of him. Cody does NOT use the veto.

Time to vote! Speech time - Victoria, the usual. Frankie, greetings to Mommy and Ariana, hope to make you proud, on and on, shine bright as a Frankie, kept all safe, final four agreement. Go Grande or Go Home and tonight I might be doing both. (That was cute.)

The vote to evict:
Cody -- Frankie
Derrick -- Frankie

Ding dong, the witch is dead! Which old witch? The wicked witch! Frankie is gone!

He went out with the hamsters well. But then he pulled a Richard Simmons act going out to Julie, throwing glitter and all.

HoH comp time -- It's a step forward/step back questions about events before or after. Caleb can't play as HoH. Cody and Derrick go to a tiebreaker. Derrick wins HoH!

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Leak BULLETIN - September 16

No Frankie!

Welp, we had a teaser of about ten minutes on the live feeds. Intentional leak? I dunno. But it was revealing indeed.

• Frankie is not in the house.
• Derrick is HoH.
• Not only is he in the HoH room, but a thingee next to the "dream" one says "No.1 Dad."
• They're wearing veto shirts and ready for the veto comp.
• Victoria is worried, Derrick is consoling her.
• Did I say it loud enough?

FRANKIE IS GONE!

Also ... CBS.com has the voting for fan favorite up at this link.

No. 1 Dad by HoH basket!

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds or lack thereof - September 15-16

The live feeds have been off since they received tie-dye shirt kits yesterday morning and recorded that for last night's BBAD show.

Hopefully Frankie is out the door now with last night being the eviction. Tonight's show was taped last night.

About the only thing of note which I didn't mention on yesterday morning's live feeds report is Derrick's talk with us (feedsters) in the wee hours. He definitely wants a final three with himself, Cody and Victoria. He understands that we might not think Victoria is "worthy" of being in the finals, but claims she's a good person and thinks she keeps a lot of herself private. He also thinks a lot of Cody. From the talk, it does sound like he wouldn't mind at all being in the final two with Victoria, but will try to honor BB. Hmm.

The live feeds should return after tonight's show. Remember (Becky!), the show airs at 8pm ET/PT! 

Jeff highlights

Derrick talked to us

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Sunday into Monday - September 15

I'm all that, daggummit!

Another day and evening of the doldrums in that Big Brother House of Waiting For the Next Big Thing:

• The most excitement, other than them tossing fake limes and lemons into a bowl, was Victoria holding the (plastic?) knife to Derrick's throat in the photo booth.
• BB Voice yelled at her to "Stop that!"
• She obviously doesn't know the history of Justin Sebik and Kristy.
• Derrick also had a huge long talk with Victoria later in the evening about not talking game with anyone until after Wednesday. She's sitting pretty with Frankie as the target now. But her loose lips fueled by alcohol just might sink ships.
• Of course, Derrick doesn't drink at all.
• He observes those who do, though.
• Yes, he's protecting her game.
• But he's protecting his as well.
• Caleb still thinks that Frankie going home is the right move and he was justified putting him on the block because Frankie has betrayed his trust.
• Cody wants Frankie to go.
• Cody will not be using the PoV to save anyone.
• And on it goes ...
