Hmmm, I'm betting next week is the last Thursday show. Steelers-Ravens is the following Thursday. Could explain the double elimination. Fewer shows the rest of the season unless they shift to Tues-Wed or something.

Nicole pulls a POV win comes down, up goes Christine and bye bye Cody's warm pillow.

Then Nicole wins the second HOH and we might finally have a game.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

For the non feed watchers, here's a little insight about what happened TODAY that didn't make air but will probably be included on Sunday's episode.

Frankie and Caleb continued to try and flip the vote and pushed VERY hard, throwing Christine under the bus in the process saying that they were scared she, Nicole, and Victoria would work together. They actually seemed to succeed in turning Cody, in part because Frankie essentially guilt tripped him saying he got out Zach last week for the group and implying Cody was being selfish wanting Donny out because he was a personal threat. He also suggested that Derrick might flip on them and work with Nicole.

At the same time the girls caught wind of all the scrambling and Derrick promised them he was going to vote Donny out. When Derrick finally joined the conversation he seemed pissed off but decisively put an end to scrambling and said he didn't trust Donny and Cody went along with it. Cody filled in Christine on what had happened while Frankie tried to cover his rear end with Nicole.

So there's a chance this poo poo could blow up on Frankie this week, but not if he wins. And probably not if Caleb wins.

If you want to know what kind of person Frankie is, google "TMZ Frankie grande". Spoiler but you know instantly what kind of person he is. Take that into consideration that he told Jacosta to go kill herself and he said lesbians choose to be lesbians and be amazed.

IMHO, he's worse than the bb15 cast collectively

Watch the Utopia feeds. At least something is happening even though I don't understand what the end game for that show is, if it even makes it a full year. I don't think it will.

Dingo from Hamsterwatch said it best when she said the nutters currently on Utopia should have been casted for BB and the get-along gang in BB would be better suited to create their own society on Utopia.

As far as tonight's show, Derrick's hollas during the Nomination Ceremony cracked me up. So random and silly.

How lame, you ask?

Frankie was pushing hard for it to happen. No one else was going along with it and Caleb said it was cruel and ruthless and he didn't want to do it. He knew Frankie hadn't done it as much as everyone else and was angling for Frankie to volunteer but naturally Frankie would never do something like that.

That scene with Caleb waiting for a volunteer went on for like five minutes. Caleb even had a Freudian slip and said "would someone just volunteer with Frankie... Er, Derrick?" They were all basically waiting for Frankie to man up and when he didn't Caleb gave in and put Nicole up.

When Nicole was upset Frankie was throwing a tantrum. He called Christine a bitch for pointing at him and said "how many times have I defended her eating disorder?" (She has food allergies.) He ranted about how he's not sorry he didn't volunteer because if he did his "fingers would bleed" (he claims to have some kind of circulation problem with the cold but there's been no bleeding fingers) and he just can't do it (this despite the fact that he has done it and was fine). He said if Nicole "whined" to him about it he'd "punch her in the face."

Oh, also? Frankie's been eating all the Have Not food anyway. He cooked all the mushrooms the other night and Derrick had to wait for BB to give them more. He did this same thing last week, eating all the tofu and saying how amazing it was which pissed off Cody who called him a "scumbag" for eating it all even though he wouldn't volunteer to do it and help keep blood of his hands. Derrick also got pissed and called him an "rear end in a top hat" for being so inconsiderate to the Have Nots, Donny and Nicole.

Next time he mentions it, Frankie should be airlifted to Africa and left to literally build schools - ie live on-site and do the actual construction work, not simply write a cheque and feel good about making that personal sacrifice.

It's a shame all the HGs are so nice and bland, would be so entertaining to see someone mock Frankie's irritating over-the-top fake enthusiasm about everything and call him out on his misogyny.

Derrick is getting a lot arrogant in his DRs and maybe it's warranted, but he's in a tricky spot with DE looming. He's smart getting rid of people that are on to him and leaving nothing but dummies however, Christine is out to knock the boys down a peg or two if she wins HOH and at this point I don't see Frankie wasting on HOH on Victoria but I'm unclear where his loyalty truly is.

I think he's probably fine for tomorrow. If anyone gets frisky and tries to make a move I think Frankie and Christine are the ones on the hot seat considering they both just narrowly avoided going home this week. And if you're going to piss off the guys and go against them then get out one of the comp beats in Frankie, Caleb, or Cody. Derrick's a massive threat for the win but he's sold himself convincingly as weak in comps.

I could understand if Derrick was just getting naturally cockier as he continues to skate by and control the game. He's right. Not being nominated for 11 weeks is pretty amazing, especially considering the fact that there were four noms most weeks. But I also think the DR may just be encouraging him to to spice it up. It seems obvious that now that they've abandoned Frankie's Golden Edit and are showing him for what he is they've shifted the show narrative to Derrick as the Puppetmaster. Its the only way to sell The Conquest of The Bomb Squad as an entertaining story.

CONVICTED OF DISPLAYING HIS PEANUTS IN PUBLIC
If Derrick not only survives tonight, but doesn't get nominated, then he probably definitely makes it to final 3.

If Frankie doesn't get nominated tonight, he will at least make it to final four for sure, if not final three. And if he makes it to final three he has a high chance of making it to final two.


I feel like Frankie is definitely in danger tonight, but so is Caleb. That being said, Christine and Victoria are most likely to be voted out in the second eviction, realistically speaking. Outside of Christine/Vic winning HOH and the other winning Veto, one of them will probably be going home since that is a safe bet for the guys to get through tonight with minimal blood.

If any of Cody/Derek/Victoria win HoH tonight, you have to think that it'll be Christine/Frankie going up, and even if one of them comes down, the other will get voted out. If Christine or Frankie win, I assume they will put up each other with Victoria maybe, so I think that Derek/Cody/Caleb trio is in pretty good shape. There are a lot of people that if they win the first HoH tonight will simply go to Derek and ask him what to do.

I don't see Caleb as in danger as Derrick is setting him up to bring Derrick with him to the end.

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
While Derrick's opinion did sway Caleb, it was ultimately up to Caleb to make the nomination.

I loved Derrick feeding Caleb's ego last night, because it really shows what type of people are left in the game. Derrick has aligned himself with a crew of duds that he has been able to manipulate since the first few weeks. The only real threat, at least according to the show (I don't watch the feeds), is if Christine wins the HOH tonight. However, even if Derrick was put up, I am not sure if he would be voted out. People do not see him as a threat. I don't know, that's just speculation, and there's a bunch of different things that could happen. Victoria, the most boring option, will probably go home.

Also, I am sure it is more prevalent on the feeds, but it seems that everyone hates Christine. Like, not even dislike, but actual hate. The show has been merciless in their edit of her since she put up Nicole. I am not sure about the other houseguest's feelings on Frankie (although they also don't seem to like him), but man oh man, his supposed golden edit ended weeks ago.

STAC Goat

Yeah. Everyone hates Frankie and Christine. That's a pretty accurate interpretation. Caleb seems to flow between anger and infatuation for Frankie and Derrick rarely let's himself slip and say something but Cody, Victoria, Nicole, and Christine have basically made Frankie bashing a pasttime. And no one likes Christine, not even Cody. It hasn't really made tv but she's just kind of a miserable person who is constantly talking poo poo or complaining about stuff. Even Derrick has called her a bitch a couple of times.

The "Backdoor Frankie" plan didn't happen exactly how it was edited, but that's not entirely the shows fault since it was kind of impossible to properly represent it since it was really chaotic and drug out. Basically it started how we saw. Caleb came up with the idea, Cody was into it, Derrick was uncertain and played "devils advocate" to get out Nicole. But in reality the three guys spent HOURS debating it and eventually Derrick just said "gently caress it, Frankie goes home." But while that Derrick/Cody conversation was happening Have Not where Derrick gave in Frankie was talking to Caleb. He sniffed out that something was up and laid a guilt trip on Caleb basically telling him that he'll be loyal to F2 and if he betrays Frankie than all of Frankie's fans will hate him. So then when Derrick and Cody came back to agree to the plan Caleb no longer wanted to do it saying he trusts Frankie and didn't want to be hated. Derrick and Cody stayed up until like 4AM trying to get Caleb back onto backdooring Frankie since they had already gone pretty far and Frankie had gotten whiff of it, but Caleb was obviously off it.

It was actually a really bizarre and bad bit of gameplay by Derrick. He was really conflicted and kept changing his mind, and then when he decided Frankie had to go he couldn't convince Caleb because of the "devils advocate" work he did earlier. The whole ordeal actual ended with Derrick desperately waking Caleb up to try again and saying to himself that he's "absolutely hosed." It wasn't the Derrick puppet mastering that the show made it seem like.

The remaining group of core players has been doing this for a while. Whoever they decide to vote out has to become hated that week, so they don't feel so bad about stabbing their former ally in the back.

Eh, different deal. Actually, kind of the exact opposite. All season the target has become hated because Frankie and Christine have engaged in character assassination and painted them as evil villains to ease the eviction and make sure they stay the target. The current hate for Frankie and Christine is more of a culmination of that kind of behavior. Its just that Frankie and Christine have left such a toxic path of damage along the way that people are pretty tired of them. Its kind of the same deal as how around this time last season everyone just got really sick of Amanda leading to her game being taken apart.

Except that this is BB16 so instead of Amanda going home we have Nicole, the one person not working with the BS.

Wouldn't you be? Her return was pointless and pretty sad. She thanked Victoria last night because if it wasn't for her Nicole would have spent the last week by herself.

I mean, Frankie literaly accussed Christine of working with Nicole for simply talking to her and treating her civilly.
