He totally hates her but the real reasons he wants her gone are (a) she's loyal to Derrick and Cody and would be a soldier to them long term and (b) she sees through Frankie's bullshit and doesn't talk any game to him. So he's made it his mission to trash her in every way and make up all kinds of lies about who she's working with or what's she's said.

Yeah, they glossed past it in the edit (of course) but Cody was PISSED at Frankie this week because Frankie tried to pass the blame for Amber's nomination on Cody alone, claiming to Caleb that Amber volunteered to Cody and Cody told Frankie it was ok. In reality Amber just said she understands someone might have to be a pawn and if it was against Victoria she'd feel pretty safe and Frankie embellished that to avoid blame and then blamed Cody for embellishing it. Cody caught Frankie doing damage control with Amber and was furious about it for awhile and realized Frankie had been manipulating him all week.

100% Agree. I want Caleb to engineer Cody's eviction immediately for maximum drama.

Cody let me down this week. It sucks, because Brit should totally stay just based on respect for kicking the 2,400 goals when she knew drat well she probably wouldn't be around to compete in the next POV anyway. But against Donny, there's no way she'd get a pity stay. I don't understand why Cody didn't just put up Jocasta? He wimped out.

Jocasta won Battle of the Block, she was immune. He had no "good" choices but Caleb/Donny.

Jocasta and Amber were safe thanks to winning BotB. Cody's options were Donny, Caleb, Zach, Nicole, Derrick, Hayden, and Christine.

He wanted to put up Caleb because of the POV thing and him worried Caleb would come for him, and Zach and Donny encouraged him, but Derrick and Frankie convinced him Caleb might stay in the house and come after them.

They were worried if Zach went up he'd either get voted out or lose his poo poo and expose some poo poo again. Cody didn't want to put up Nicole after she took the POV when Caleb and Zach didn't. He felt he owed her for that team move. And none of Christine, Hayden, or Derrick were going to volunteer.

Hayden argued that he HAD to put up a Bomb Squader (specifically Caleb) or else he'd just be drawing a line in the sand and showing that the Bomb Squad was real but Derrick and Frankie were really insistent on Donny and that he wouldn't get angry at Cody. And ultimately Cody gave in as he always does.

Technically Frankie was an option too. The losing HOH from BotB isn't immune.

The only people immune for renoms are the current HOH, and the two that win BotB. Everyone else is fair game!

"Blood on my hands" is supposed to be about nominating someone who the rest of the house won't mind going up and out the door. A "bloodless" HOH is having a single target, a pawn who is ok being a pawn, and having that target actually leave OR nominating two people almost everyone in the house is ok with seeing go up and who were already gunning for you anyway. There was no way Cody could escape getting blood on his hands this week because Frankie took the shittie noms.

I would have refused to put up Brittany if I were him, but he got misted by Derrick I guess. He could have put up Jocasta and Victoria if he wanted throwaway noms or if he were playing hard, he could have argued that Frankie should put up Brit if that is what they want so bad and he should have put up Derrick and Hayden using the argument that they would surely win BotB and then Derrick would certainly get his preferred nomination (Brit). Also it would ensure Hayden he was safe for the week by winning. It removes the opportunity of backdooring Caleb, and opens the door for them to backdoor Cody but that would show their hands pretty early.

Well, and the vetoer and veto recipient, who may not be the same person. If Caleb had taken the veto, and used the veto to take Brittany off the block, then Cody would not have been able to put up Caleb.

Which is another great reason Cody should have put up Caleb. He had the opportunity to keep himself safe and he didn't. Not only is he not a team player, he's an idiot. But Cody hosed it up by not punishing his stupidity.

I agree -- if he had wanted to piss off Cody, then that was the safer option for this week, at least. But he chose to roll the dice. It was dumb to do, but he may be in a stronger position now that he got away with it.

I honestly have a tiny bit of faith in Britney about trying to save herself this week. Yes, everyone loves Donny, but they all want him out sometime. The guy would win at the end. Britney probably earned a ton of respect with her 2,400 kicks. I think she will be voted out, but I don't think she has zero chance.

Question for feeders: during the show, no one was retrieving the ball for her. Did anyone do that? They were just watching her walk back and forth. Was it not allowed?

However, don't comment on Brit's chances with anything we haven't been shown yet, thanks.

I didn't hear it specifically said, but I don't think anyone else was allowed to retrieve the ball for her. There are at least a couple people that would have, if they were allowed, and didn't. People were also giving her tips for retrieving the ball and lining up the shot without bending over, which also seems to suggest she was required to retrieve the ball herself.

Yeah, at different points, people like Zach and Hayden were even behind the net (they didn't show her tearing a hole through the net or breaking the side post) and they never touched the ball. So I am guessing they were barred from helping in anyway.

She couldn't get help from anyone during the entire punishment. In fact, she was kicking too hard at the beginning and the net broke on the bottom where it connects to the base. So, all the good goals still went to the wall. Production fixed it, that's why all the weights were on the bottom holding the net down.

Other fun facts during this that will never be shown or have any bearing on anything. Donny was constantly encouraging her and was out there for a while. At times he would do jumping jacks if she hit 10 in a row. Most people stayed out there with her for a bit, with the exception of Frankie. Frankie and Christine bashed her inside for quite awhile, claiming that it was an easy punishment that they could do easily.

No help at all was allowed. The one thing Donny did for her was tighten the back of the net with free weights so when Brit hit a good shot to the back of the goal it would spring back closer to Brit and then Brit wouldn't have to walk as much to retrieve the ball.

The dumbest thing was Brit bending over to pick up the ball bending down to place the ball and then kicking it. Cody and Hayden were really trying to get Brit to use her feet to collect the ball and dribble it up to the starting mat and would have no need to bend over at all. However, Brit being stubborn wouldn't listen and insisted on doing it her way. I'm surprised Brit still has a back left since she bent over at least 5,ooo times over the course of a day.

She finished with about 4 hours to spare and even slept for about 5 hours early that morning.

She was also more consistent kicking the ball backwards with the back of her heel than with her toes.
