Big Brother 16: Caleb Plants a Save Zach Seed and it grows and Grows and GROWS!
The live feeds were down for a couple hours in the early evening as the HGs celebrated their Half Way party. Ordinarily, that's a pretty big deal. Tonight, not so much.. Not so much at all.
At 9:02pm, Caleb planted a Save Zach seed, and over the next couple hours it grew to immense proportions, a la Jack and the beanstalk. And it's a beautiful, beautiful beanstalk!☺ Caleb, I promise to not make fun of you for at least.. 12 hours. Maybe even 24. Derrick and Cody.. you already know how I feel about you. ♥ Read on, dishers.. Read on..
Or just use the time stamps and the camera numbers provided to watch for yourself on flashback. It doesn't get any better or any more Big Brother than this! If you haven't gotten the feeds and you'd like to check em out, here's the 2 day free trial.

Caleb, Frankie.. then Derrick
Caleb: I been thinkin'.. If we get rid of Zach, our numbers are gone, they still have a number, and they can go against us.
Frankie: I'll grab Derrick.
Frankie brings Derrick into the room.
Caleb: What if we go Zach, Christine flips, they have more numbers than we have, and then we could be in trouble.
Frankie: I said I don't think that's a concern, but he's worried she wouldn't vote Nicole out.
Caleb: I think she has Nicole's back over any of us. I feel it.
Derrick: Lemme shave and think about it. So you're sayin' Keep Zach..
Caleb: I'm not sayin.. I'm sayin' what if... Remember, we supposedly have his number.
Derrick: Right.
Caleb: But.. none of us really have Jocasta's number.
Derrick: Right.. and if he goes home, is she gonna vote with Donny, if Donny's workin..
Caleb: Exactly. So the thing is, it'd be Christine, Donny, Jocasta, Victoria.. I think Victoria would vote with you, but..
Derrick: Yeah, she would..
Caleb: But.. What if Christine says, Hey, I'ma tell you guys everything..
Derrick: That would only work if one of us didn't win HoH. But I get what you're saying. But if we vote out Jocasta, they're gonna know.. They're gonna know that something's together.. And if they win, they're gonna put 2 of us up together, and one of us take ourselves off, they'll put another one of us up.
Caleb: Even if we vote to keep Jocasta, Jocasta's not a number for us.
Derrick: I agree.
Caleb: Either way. She's gonna put you up.
Derrick: Cuz I put her up.
Caleb: Exactly. And then more 'n likely, Nicole's gonna say, Hey, I already know about their little scheme, I know about it all. Put Derrick up, or Frankie, Caleb..
Derrick: It's possible. It's possible. We're not the only ones who are working as a group. There's another group workin'. That's Big Brother.
Caleb: I guess the biggest question is, do you think.. if we voted Zach to go home, Christine would play on that side of the fence to help their numbers?
Derrick: I don't think so.. but anything's possible.. I could flip.. anybody could flip.. People are gonna do what's good for their game.
Derrick goes to shave. Frankie's tells Caleb he's not worried and Zach it too erratic and he's talking about all of them and even trying to form a group to get Caleb out.. Caleb hears all this and still comes back with..
Caleb: At the end of the day, Jocasta's not with any of us.
Frankie: Yeah, but she also doesn't do anything
Caleb: That's true too, BUT she's a number against us.. no matter what.
**Caleb, I could kiss you!
OK.. the seed has been planted.. We're moving ahead, so we can watch it take root..

Derrick: Frankie called me in here. Caleb's havin' doubts about votin' Zach out, and he's 100% right, if he knew everything, because he's like, listen, you don't realize, if we send Zach home, they do have the numbers.
Cody:
Derrick: ..if Christine is workin' with them. And he's right. He's definitely right. But I was just like, I gotta shave first. What were you gonna say to me?
Cody: I was gonna say, do you think that Frankie's actually telling Zach?
Derrick: No, I don't. Not at all. 100% not tellin' him.
Cody: I mean, do you think Frankie's tellin' Caleb?
Derrick: Oh, I meant to tell you.. We told him last night at the pool table and included you 100% in it.
Derrick: Lemme ask you a question. I've thought about this all day today. Me n you have 2 options in this game.. There are 3 twosomes in this game right now - Me n you, Nicole and Hayden, and Christine and Frankie. OK?
Derrick: If we get Zach out, and then we vote Christine out, do the math, we're f*cked... if we don't win HoH, because Nicole and Hayden will have Donny and Jocasta. Christine and Frankie don't have anybody, even though they think they have Nicole and Hayden. We know they don't. So if we went against them, they don't have anybody.. So votin' out Christine is not a good move, because she doesn't have enough numbers to vote us out, if she puts us up, even though she thinks she does.
Cody: She does though.
Derrick: She doesn't.
Cody: She does.
**Duck, duck duck duck..Goose!
Derrick: How?
Cody: Because, I don't think Nicole and Hayden are workin' together with her.. They're playin' everybody.. Nicole and Hayden are playin' everybody. If Christine puts us up on the block, Nicole and Hayden are gonna be like stay loyal to them..
Derrick: I agree.
Cody: Nicole and Hayden are playin' everybody.
**Hmm.. sounds like a fab reason to keep Zach. So glad you guys figured this out tonight, and not too late..
Derrick: So lemme ask you this then.. We have 2 options: we go with the flow, we vote Zach out, and then we vote out.. cuz he wants me to put up Frank and Christine, if I win HoH.. That's what Hayden wants me to put up. And he told me today.. I didn't ask him about it, but he told me today that Donny said I was good and I'm not even on his radar.
Cody: He told me that yesterday. His targets are Caleb 1, Frankie 2, Christine 3..
Derrick: You 4.
Cody: Yup.
Derrick: He didn't even say me 4.
Cody: Ok, so he lied to you about that.
Derrick: Oh he's playing us.
Cody: He's tryin' to play both of us now.
**the "he" is question is Hayden, in case that wasn't completely clear.
OK.. This conversation is ongoing, but you get the gist. Beautiful bells and whistles are going off like firecrackers in Derrick and Cody's heads.. We're moving forward!

Derrick speaks directly to the feeds.
**talk to me, baby! I've been waiting for this all week!
Derrick: I can't get 2 f*ckin' minutes with Cody alone, because Frankie's paranoid and Christine's paranoid. We gotta make a move tonight, feedsters. I have to talk to him. About to stir this up, if he's game, cuz.. I'm not gettin' played. Goin' in this game.. Doin' the dirty work of someone else..

Cody and Derrick
Derrick: I was with Nicole upstairs, and she goes, "are you and Cody flippin', cuz Frankie seems like he's flippin'. Zach has to go this week! He has to go this week!" Why does he have to go, Nicole? He's not puttin' me an' Cody on the block.
Cody: You know what I just said to Christine? I said, "You really don't see that the numbers are goin'? 3 out of the 4 weeks, someone from the original 8."
Derrick: I know..
Cody: "If we get rid of Jocasta.."
Derrick: They're down.
Cody: I literally just said to Christine, 3 out of the last 4 weeks, one of the original 8 are going home every week. She was like, Oh my God.. I didn't realize that. I was like, Don't act like you haven't realized that, Christine. She was like, I really haven't.
Derrick: He told me, he wants me to put up Frankie and Christine next. We're gonna have nobody left. We're gonna go up next to each other. Donny and Jocasta are gonna vote us out, and we're gonna go home. We're gonna be finishing 5th or 4th place.
Cody: That's not gonna happen.
Derrick: I'd rather go home makin' a big move and sayin' beat me.. just beat me..
Cody: I couldn't look at her in the face.. She literally goes, "Ask Nicole how much I love you." And I wanted to be like, Really?
Derrick: Nicole wants to send you (Christine) home.
Cody: I was like, do you want me to ask how much, because she's been tellin' you all week how she wants me as a replacement nom,,
Derrick: And she wants to send you home..
Cody: But here's the thing, Christine goes, "Ask Nicole how much I love you." Do you think..
Derrick: Nicole's playin' us..
Cody: Nicole's playin' us?
Derrick: Yes! Yes!
Cody: Do you think she's feeding us shit that Christine isn't saying?
Derrick: Yes! They need us to vote them out. Listen, they're on the outside right now. Whether you realize it or not, we have the numbers right now. If we stay loyal to each other... Frankie, Christine, you, me and Zach, they can't beat us.
Cody: And Caleb..
Derrick: And Caleb. We have the numbers. Unless they put both of us on the block, they can't vote us.. We have the numbers, and we're literally cannibalizing ourselves.
Cody: I literally just said this.
Derrick: So we're gonna even out the numbers FOR them. We're lookin' like f*ckin' fools.
Cody: OK.. SO you want us to keep Zach?
Derrick: I think we should.
Cody: You wanna do some big time shit?
Derrick: I think we should. And if we go home, we f'in go home.
Cody: We'll call a f'in meeting.
Derrick: yup. Hey, if we go home..
Cody: F*ck it.
Derrick: I'm goin out guns blazin'.
Cody: But here's the thing.. We need to realize Zach's f'in us.
Derrick: But he's not. He's playing both sides, but if he wins HoH tomorrow, he's puttin' Nicole and Hayden up.
Cody: OK.. I'm gonna tell Frankie and Christine that we need to talk.
Derrick: We definitely need to talk.

Cody and Christine
Cody is filling Christine in on all the inconsistencies and doubts created by Nicole and Hayden, lastly that Christine and Frankie were trying to save Zach, and Frankie enters the room...
Cody: Me n Derrick need to talk to you and her. I think you 2 guys, and I think me and Derrick are getting played by Nicole and Hayden.
Christine: Frankie, we are getting played so hard by them right now. They said that you and I wanted..
Cody: Ok.. it wasn't just Zach that said it.
Cody: I guessss... I was targeting you, because Nicole kept saying all week that I'm your number one target and you're going after me in the double evict.
Frankie: Going after you?
Cody: yeah. And she told us that you went up there to them, not with an alliance, but with a "working together" unnamed group of you, her, Donny and Hayden.. and they said all week, you guys have been trying to get us put up as Renoms..
Christine: This is unbelievable.. They're brilliant. They're brilliant.
Cody: ..that you kept goin' up there sayin' that I needed to be a replacement, and that it's gotta be me or Derrick, and saying that me or Derrick had to go up, or else Zach's not gonna go home.
Frankie: Alright.. So Zach's staying?
Cody: It's not up to me.. but if we vote Zach out, it'll make it seem like we appeased them.. If we vote Zach out, we're actually playing right into their hands, so..
Frankie: So Zach is staying? Zach is staying?
*** #ZankieLove written all over his face. Frankie is not a hard sell on this one at all.
Cody: That's what..
Frankie: 1, 2, 3, 4, Caleb's 5.. Zach can stay. Let's do it.
Cody: They were trying to make it out that you were trying to play us or we were trying to play you...
Frankie: (Thought Bubble: Your lips keep moving, beautiful boy, but all I hear is Zach's staying!)

Cody is telling Christine what a mastermind Donny is, and how he tried to manipulate him into putting Caleb up when he was HoH. Christine agrees Donny is brilliant.
Frankie enters...
Frankie: I told Caleb.. (what?) We're keeping Zach!
Fresh from the DR, Derrick enters the Have Not Room..
Cody: I pretty much.. I told em.
Derrick: That's ok. BB Confessional! This is the f'in BB Confessional!
All: hehehe
Derrick: I'm f'in in there f'in rantin'
All: eheheh
Derrick: What did you tell them so far?
Cody: Well, I told them everything, pretty much.
Christine: yes!
Derrick: Are we done playing the games, seriously?
Frankie: Yes.
Derrick: Ok. Good. Because they're trying to pick us off one by one.
Frankie: They are! And they're doing a good job.
Derrick: ok. They told us everything you guys said.
Christine: We didn't say it!
Derrick: ok
Christine: That's what's f'd up.
Derrick: (to Christine) Nicole told us right out that you wanted us out. (to Frankie) They're playin'.
Christine: It's..
Derrick: It doesn't even matter. It doesn't even matter.
Derrick: We're gonna keep Zach.
**And the Angels Sing....
Derrick: We're gonna keep the numbers, and they're gonna know, and if we don't win HoH, one of us is goin' home, period. So we gotta win or lose, but you know what? We ain't f*ckin' pawns, period. Hayden wouldn't even discuss putting Donny up. (to Christine) They wanted to put you up. (to Frankie) They wanted to backdoor you. That's why. Dude. We got it. Dude. (to Frankie) By the way, you're welcome, cuz we're the reason you didn't go on the block. Me n him. I know you're tight, but listen: They're. Playing. Us. We send Zach home this week. Then they wanna send you home or you home next week. Now we don't have the numbers, and then we're gonna go home too.

Derrick, Frankie and Cody discuss the best way to bring Victoria on board and make sure they have her vote to keep Zach.. They decide to tell her Hayden said he would put her up..
Derrick: We basically gotta do what Nicole tried to do with us...
Cody: Just lie to her? Alright. You drop the lie to her. I'll f'in do it too.
Derrick: Do you think it'll work? If you don't think it'll work..
Frankie: Do you think there's any advantage to going up to Hayden and Nicole and just being like, "Sorry, we're voting to keep Zach."
Cody: I don't think that's a good idea.
Derrick: Dude, we could..
Cody: It's either gonna be 5-3 or 6-2. If it's 6-2, it looks better, but if it's 5-3, Victoria's gonna.. This is my thing...
Derrick: What?
Cody: Victoria's trust is not with you and it's not with Hayden.
Derrick: Boom!
They toy with the idea of giving Nicole a heads up.. and how to go about that..
Derrick: If we don't tell em, the line's drawn, we lied to their faces, but if we tell em, "Hey, Listen, we're gonna keep Zach this week. He's a huge target. He's a bigger target than all of us.."
Cody: He's a bigger target than Jocasta..
Derrick: That way, Zach is here, and if any of us go on the block, we have a larger target next to us.
Cody: But then, Hayden's gonna be like, "You just told me yesterday that Zach said he's gonna come after me. Why would you keep him?"
Frankie: Cuz he says that about everyone.
Derrick: Just say, I know I have the votes against Zach.. if he tries to put me out.
Cody: I'd rather have someone like Zach sitting next to me than someone like Jocasta.
Derrick: Exactly. And.. they're not gonna buy it. Let's be honest. They're not gonna buy it, but it's a little bit.. We're still f*cking him.
Derrick: ..but we're putting lube on.
**bwahahahahaha
They debate this a few minutes more, decide it's better to tell Nicole and Hayden tomorrow.. then get back to blindside...
Cody: I f*ckin' love blindsides. Look up blindsides.. It's f'in trending. Hashtag Blindsides. #Blindsides
Derrick: Here's the thing, if I don't get Victoria's vote, what if Christine flipped? It'd be 4-4.
Frankie: Exactly.
Derrick: Nicole would vote Zach out, and we'd be exposed.
Cody: No way, No Chance.
Frankie: I agree with you that there's no chance, but let's not take it.
Cody: So we blindside em?
Frankie: Yeahhh
Derrick: Are we still gonna try and get Victoria?
Frankie/Cody: YES!!
Derrick: And what do we say to her?
Frankie: I think literally right before the vote, after the 2nd lockdown, you grab her and say, listen, the majority is voting to keep Zach, and then I'll say the same thing, and you (turns to Cody) say the same thing. And then if she goes to Hayden, at that point, who f'in cares?
Derrick: I think that's bad. I still think I should say "they're gonna put you and Jocasta up if they win double evict. I don't want you up there. We need to keep Zach here, because if you're up next to Jocasta, you could go home."
Frankie: Or you can say, Zach's targets are Nicole and Hayden..
Cody: And Zach's gonna go home if he sits next to you anytime.
Derrick: yeah. Perfect, Perfect..
Cody: I think if it comes from you, she (Victoria) may not even go to Hayden. I think you're her number 1, Hayden's her number 2.
Derrick: I hope so. We're gonna find out tomorrow. The last week he's gotten close with her, because he knew this was coming.
Cody: I say we roll with it tomorrow. We get Victoria - 6 to 2, if not 5-3, we drew the line. F*ck it. At least you f'in told Victoria so she doesn't have a lack of trust in YOU. Same with us.. We put the trust in her to f'in tell her, cuz we don't want her to be blindsided either. If she doesn't trust us, then fk it, who cares..
Derrick: If she votes the other way still, she'll be the 1st one gone, after we get rid of them.
Cody: Yeah, exactly.
Derrick: And the best part is, by keeping Zach, we're already getting rid of another one of their numbers.
Frankie: Exactly. Why is Caleb the smartest?
Cody: F*ck that.
Frankie: Wanna know why? Cuz he's stupid. He sees only black and white.
Derrick: yeah.
Frankie: He's like (points) "You, good. You, bad."
All: (laugh)
Derrick: But that leaves them only Nicole, Hayden and Donny.
Cody: If they f'in beat us, then I'm gonna punch myself in the dick...
They wrap it up.. Frankie plans to go out and entertain for a bit, lighten the mood, get them laughing.. Derrick leaves first.. Frankie and Cody linger behind..
Frankie: You didn't cuddle with me this morning.. I knew something was wrong.
Frankie: This is exciting!
Cody: I know! It's so exciting! This game is so crazy.. I can't wait.. I just love the blindsides.. I just wanna see Nicole's face, cuz I hate that she was tryin' to f'in play us.
Frankie: That's unbelievable.
Cody: It pisses me off. And Hayden, too.
Frankie: What an idiot.
Cody: Know what I was thinking?
Frankie: No one anticipated our bond.
Cody: Right.
Frankie: I don't think anyone anticipated our bond.. not even Zach.
Cody: No, I don't think anyone realized.. And that's the thing..
Frankie: We don't wanna hate each other. It's in our genetic code.
Cody: Like, I can go out and I can be fake to Brittany, Hayden, Nicole, but with you, I was like, this motherf'er, that motherf'er..
They hug..
Frankie: I love you, too. And you know that this is real.
Cody: I know.
Frankie: I've never been happier in my life.
Cody: C'mere you motherf'er..
Frankie: The whole day I've been so sad..
Cody: He's gonna be so happy to stay tomorrow.. I said so much shit to him in the goodby message.. I was like, you f'in mother f'er..
Frankie: me too.. I cried. No, I didn't. I tried to cry..
Cody: hehehe..
Frankie: oh oh oh.. My goodbye message to Jocasta is perfect.
Cody: What'd you say?
Frankie: Like, if it's jury, she's gonna be like "aw that sweet kid.."
Cody: Oooh right!
Frankie: Mine was so sweet.
Cody: I told her... I said.. "I feel like you're not even playing the game." F*ck.
Cody: hohoho
Frankie: hehehehe
Frankie: hehehehe
Cody: Oh, I love you..
Frankie gets out of bed and walks back and forth, back and forth in the room..
Cody: What're you doing?
Frankie: Jocasta. This is what she's been doing for 47 days.
Cody: Yeah.. Exactly..
Frankie: I knew we could fix it.. be like (pounds Cody's chest) bad boy! Bad boy!
Cody: (imitates Zach) I know.. I was just tryin' to play the game. Are you guys mad at me?
Frankie: We're gonna enforce a buddy system with him. He's never allowed to speak to anyone alone.
Cody: Hehehe
This is ongoing, and sweet and silly.. and so nice to see them smiling again.. and so nice to BE smiling again. If you love the Frody love, check this out on flashback starting at 11:47pm.
And this is a wrap on this post. ☺ They do fill Zach in after midnight, inasmuch as they tell him that Hayden and Nicole were targeting him hard and they will be blindsided tomorrow.. As of bedtime, the plan to keep Zach stands.
It was a truly fantastic night on the feeds.
If you decide you've just got to see this all for yourself, here's a 2 day free trial of the live feeds. It doesn't get any better or any more BB than this!

WHAT AN INSANE HOUSE. As I said in the previous post about Zach staying... All the ProZach fans have Caleb's ass to kiss. I know that may bother many. I like that they are finally playing and God Father Derrick rallies the troops.
I personally love when they strategize in the HOUSE, because all the soap opera stuff and who is kissing whom bores me to death. Some fans want to make up relationships where there are none…
I feel really bad for Nicole and Hayden being blind sided… because looking from the outside they were true to the Rationale, but all the ‘voices’ and paranoia made Cody and Derrick doubt them. It’s funny reading tweets… people hate production being involved with leading questions… unless it saves their favorite.
Derrick: "America you're about to get what you've been asking for." It sounds like production has something to do with this.
I am a fan of Zach's mom much more than Zach himself. Victoria could win the first HoH and Zach's ass would be back on the block for being so rude and mean to her. She would put up Zach and Christine I believe... for how they have treated her and lied about her. But other than that Donny or Hayden better win or they are toast with one of them going in the second eviction, because they will be nominated with Nicole as replacement. And we will be back to how the House has been all season long. Fans will not be happy about that either. I can see Derrick, Frankie or Christine leave if Donny or Hayden wins. Personally I hope it’s not Derrick. I’d be happy with Frankie leaving… sick of his sausage obsession but if either of Team America leaves… is the whole thing done? Christine leaving may be best for her marriage knowing how hurt her hubby is by her actions in the house according to his Twitter and insane fans.
Tonight will be a crazy show for sure. Now I am going to bed. Zzzzzzz.
It's not that I don't like Zach, because I do, but this is infuriating what has happened. I think it's directly related to DR intervention, and basically puts the game right back where we were before. No power shift, same people in trouble, same people running the house. Again!! Somebody finally makes a move, and this is what happens?!! It'd be different if the stuff Hayden and Nicole told Derrick and Cody wasn't true- but ALL of it was!! The 3 underdogs are now doomed and barring a miracle, the end is near for Hayden, Nicole and Donny. The only 3, who by almost all accounts, have been playing as solid and honest a game as possible. I want Cody and Derrick out next. They were sitting in the prettiest position ever until this, and they deserve to go home before even Christine. I'm so nauseated by the outside influences that have affected the game in the last 24 hours, I can't stand it. I wish a Diamond POV would appear in Nicole's bathroom in the morning, just to even out the unfairness. So frustrated right now...
Good Morning.
So, Christine and Caleb are now the believable gurus of BB? Taking out an illusory “number” is better than removing a significant player from the game?
A flip flop, at this point, helps Zankie, Christine and Caleb. Hurts Donny, Nicole and Hayden. Leaves Derrick and Cody short votes when Zankie comes after them, probably next week.
The double eviction tonight will decide a lot.
Paranoia, in the BB house, makes for fun viewing.
I was thinking about the "numbers" for tonight's vote.
Caleb, Cody, Derrick and Frankie, as it stands now, would absolutely vote to keep Zach.
Donny and Hayden would vote to keep Jocasta, I'm assuming they keep the flip secret. Where does Victoria stand, she really doesn't like Zach, will Derrick bother to try to mist her since he believes they have the five votes.
The final vote, where does Christine really stand? She has always stood with the majority. But she, also, can count and she does not like Zach.
This could really get interesting.
Fasten your seatbelts it's going to be a bumpy night!
If you love Zach, *good* morning to ya! If you are a fan of Donny, Hayden or Nichole better take a good look at them today because one of them may be gone by tonight!
It's time to play Big Brother and it starts all over again tonight!
I love this game.
Yes yes yes yes YES!!!!! I LOVE when they make a last minute switch, especially right before a DE! Hopefully prod won't have enough time to make edits to the clips and everyone thinks Zack is going out and then SURPRISE! They all vote to keep him.
THIS RIGHT HERE is what makes this show great! Tonight's episode is going to be SIIIIIIICK.
So is the plan to blindside Donny, Hayden, and Nicole at the eviction?
I can't believe that this is happening!!! it is so evident that production made this happen because of all Zach's fan and Frankie crying in the DR and the letter from Zach's mom!!! sure it stirs the pot but it is so unfair!!!! they're doing this to save Zach and didn't do a d*mn thing to save Amber because of Caleb!!!! it is also very unfair to the other house guests who think they may have a fighting change at winning half a million dollars!!!! maybe all the rumors from last year are true and that BB has already picked the winner before the season even starts!!!
BB used to be a great "reality" show but it is plain to see that it has become a "scripted rip-off"!!!!
Yes Julie, this IS the most twisted season of BB!!!! it's so twisted that it's really not worth watching because as soon as the house guests get into the BB house it is evident who production has chosen to win!!! last year Amanda was supposed to win but production must have had to change it up because all of the backlash coming at them!!! this year it is extremely evident that the winners are going to be Zach and Frankie and that is so wrong on so many levels!!!
this just might be the last time I ever watch BB!!! and paying for the live feeds, well I probably won't be doing that either!!!!
I've watched every season except season one and that was because I was in and out of the hospital all summer and I didn't know it was on. it's a shame that BB16 will be the end for me!!! I just can't justify watching a "reality" show that clearly isn't!!!
this rant could go on and on but it would be a big waste of time because BB Production has struck again!!!
This has to be the BEST post ever.... I have a huge smile on my face... while I realize that this could change at some point today - right now I am one HAPPY HAPPY girl.... love my Zach...
g'morning, Carolyn, everyone!
ok. i go to sleep with Zach going home and i was really sad about that. woke up, did my morning routine, come here to BBDish to get my fix, and BAM! so it's not all trash in Caleb's head then...
i'm down with Zach staying but not at the expense of Haycolnny!!! nooo!!!
i'd rather see Christine and Cody go before Hayden, Nicole and Donny. but then, this BB.
as always, thanks for the updates, Caro! i'm looking foraward to more.
When will Frankie ask Derrick and Cody why they kept secret Hayden and Nicole's plan to back door him? Why hasn't he thought about this by now. If it were me, I'd be questioning their loyalty.
Ya gotta love BB! Crazy crazy house. It should be called this BB-Production! I have to agree with all of u. I don't like how they get involved. They go with the flow of the fans, why do you think they have trackers, polls, blogs, ect. They want to know who the public likes and wants to win so they can ask leading questions. I'd like to meet the master mind of who comes up with the solutions the HGs can not figure out. Derrick and Cody should have known the numbers would go down when they wanted to send zach home! Off to start my day you all have a great one I'll see you later for the show tonight!
The thing is, whether you wanted Zack to stay or go, the true backdoors, blindsides, and last minute flips make for a great season.
After last year I will never again take for granted a great cast, no matter how boring. And this cast has not been boring! FOR THE MOST PART they have been kind, and genuine, and sensitive to each other. At this point, I think I'd be happy with whoever won! They've all done something to deserve it.
I guess I have a simpler, more Caleb-type brain. Don't think to question loyalty...just add the numbers. Don't vote out an iffy ally if you can get a definite enemy! If Zach leaves, they are down another number. And whether Christine or someone else turns on them--or what about BOTH Frankie AND Christine, or Derrick AND Cody?--they are totally screwed in a DE tomorrow night. It's simple. Play it safe!
So they finally quit twisting their brains inside out and just added up the numbers. Thought about past years. And past weeks--which did make me think that Donny and Hayden may be playing a much better game than they have been credited with. Outlasting a huge numerical disadvantage. Are they behind the Evict Devin and Evict Amber (even Evict Brittany?) movements? Cody blames Zach. Was he that savvy or dumb to wipe-out his alliance that way?
Then they shared stories of the past week's activities, talks, back-stabbing denials... It was great watching Christine squirm!!! All night long she lied her butt off--she may be lucky her nose is too big to grow any more ;) Pretending she's enjoying the "lies" Nicole and Hayden are supposedly spreading about what she's been saying all week. As it is, Cody HAS to be questioning her. Her acting was AWFUL. Terrible. That laugh was inappropriate and she never once got angry...never even suggested she had an urge to confront the liars? Never ask WHO said WHAT?? Which any and all of us would have done now and again through the evening.
Everyone must know the rest of the alliance was throwing each of them under the bus. Cody said as much and just wanted it admitted and put away for now. "90% of the house are playing each other." Christine has made herself a huge risk with her behavior/reaction. She wants to warn Nicole of an impending blindside? After all the lies? She's not mad? Wow! Forgiving. And even when she learned Nic was planning to BD her best buddy Frankie if she used the POV she won? No anger? No wonder Cody mentioned it to the guys later.... Glad to see them see through her game even a little...please Cody, put her on BLAST? Don't fall for all the "I love you, Cody"s--you aren't THAT cute.
Tomorrow should be so much fun! I want to sleep and stay busy rather than nervously watch the machinations all day. Read the blog here to know where they are at showtime. :)
I like Zach and his antics do keep the feeds a bit more entertaining BUT I'm not about to lose my mind if he stays or leaves. It seems that so many are caught up in their favorites to the point of threatening to quit. Sorry if that made no sense....I was up late watching the "magic" happen on the feeds. We've all seen production pull strings and not so subtly over the last 4 years. I personally accept that and try to enjoy the show for what it is, an entertainment show. Everyone keeps talking about how boring the feeds and show will be without Zach but I find it a bit boring that the same group has run the house since Day 1. I still like everyone even though I feel Caleb may need some kind of professional help.
I hope everyone continues to enjoy the show and feeds and as always on this Thankful Thursday I am happy that Caro and Lessa have given so tirelessly of themselves. Much love to all dishers no matter what side of the house you prefer.
OMG! Holy Dingus.What the heck is going on?
I have never thought Derrick was Dan. I've given him credit for a good game but not a 'legendary' game. And I have never thought he had 'mist'. His strategy and targets change so often it's more like he is spreading a big cloud of fog and hoping that people will wander around lost until he decides which path they should take.
Who would have thought that Caleb would be the only one who packed fog goggles.
Good morning ! So a Donny or Hayden win first HOH and then a Donny, Hayden or Nicole win second would really make for an exciting night!
We all can see CBS does not like anyone honest. Children watch this show and see that being honest is wrong if you want to win at anything. Now do you understand why the jails are over
crowding?
It would have been more fun to watch if zach was sent packing because there would be more scrambling. Sick of production flipping the votes and manipulating the HGs. This might be my last season too as it's just last season repackaged.
I knew when Zach was in the HOH w/Nicole telling her that if Jacosta went home her reign would've be a fail, that production had let him know he was going home but they were fixing that!!! BOOOO BOOOO BOOOOO!!! Just hate that now it's all predictable & these guys are running the house.
Just a pet peeve. Literally has been making frequent appearances in the BB vocabulary. It happens every year.
Derrick...Cody...calm down. You are not literally cannibalizing yourselves. That would be wrong and, well kind of gross. I'm sure production would have stopped you by now. They don't want their pretty cast looking like a group of The Walking Dead extras.
Zach will owe his allegiance to Victoria after tonight
I'm not sure if I'm in the minority here or not but I'm disappointed in this flip. It's not because I hate Zach or like Jocasta. I'm actually not really invested in either one of them. It's more because I'm tired of seeing one group of people steamroll the house.
The Detonators controlling the game is boring. If Zach goes then there's the chance he blows things up and the rift between Derrick/Cody and Frankie/Christine becomes a huge gap. It makes people scramble. It forces new alliances to be solidified. Sure, Zach is entertaining but the potential entertainment from him leaving is far greater.
Not to mention that this puts Donny, Hayden, and Nicole (my three favorites along with Cody) in danger. All I can do now is hope that Hayden has Victoria's ear more so than Derrick and Christine's DR sessions are legit so she plans to vote Zach out no matter what. That would make the vote 4-4 and Nicole could truly shake things up.
I'm one of the few fans of The Detonators and not at all swayed by the Southern Sweetness of Donny. While I think he is a kind, humble man, I do not think he is the mastermind his fans are making him out to be. That would be CBS editing.
I do understand that people are upset about DR questions and instigation, but if you have ever listened to any former house guest, that has happened in EVERY season of BB, and they are not TOLD to do something, they are asked questions that make them think. And I don't think that makes this season unfair, as it has always been that way. It is a TV Show after all. I am also not too upset about the lack of power shifts, because ultimately, it will get very interesting once the weeds are pulled (Jocasta, Victoria, and in my opinion Donny).
I know I don't hold the same opinion as many on the Dish, but I am a superfan and have watched every season more than once, so I am not missed by CBS's edits, or the nice guy...just a fan of great play. And this season, that is Derrick. I'm not comparing him to Will or Dan or anyone else, just saying that THIS season, he is playing the game better than anyone else...and he is part of the Detonators, so I am all for them sticking together and going for each others throats once the weeds are pulled.
So difference of opinion from the majority, but I am fond of and respect each and every one of you and your opinions!!!! :)
I agree with Grendon that Derrick is no Dan
Nor an Ian
Grandma,
It is a very sad state of affairs if a Reality TV Show is responsible for the upbringing of America's children and the problem with jails being overcrowded!!!!!
I don't mean to sound like I am poking fun, but really?? It is a Reality TV SHOW!!!! It's about lying and cheating and manipulating!! Otherwise it would be on a religious network.
I think I have posted more comments this morning than in the last week!!! LOL
I am just hoping Christine sticks with voting out Jocasta, cause we know she really wants Zach out. But hearing that Nicole has gone back and told Cody and Derrick everything she has said, she may decide to remain loyal to the Detonators. I am impatiently waiting on the rest of the OR LOL
This. Is. Wonderful.
I hate, hate, HATE knowing on Tuesday who is going home. I love, love, LOVE not knowing until Thursday:)!!!
I don't care if the DR is getting involved. America loves to be involved and the DR does the work for us. I agree 100% with Grendon (coup de ta, etc).
Caleb my be weird, but he's not boring. As long as he keeps his hands to himself, I've got no beef with him.
Happy DOUBLE EVICTION DAY Y'all <3 :)
soooooo not happy that Nicole's HOH will go with NO big moves.. She deserves her target out.. and i really don't want zach in the game. This whole picking off girls is horrible!!
They give Hayden and Nicole WAAAAAAAAAY too much credit! Just had to say that. Now back to TOR...
I'm wondering why no one has asked why it is so important for Derrick to keep Victoria. She is not part of the group. They have enough votes for Zack without her. Don't they see that Derrick is keeping himself insulated on all sides. I have rooted for Zankie, not necessarily to win but just because I enjoy them. I have rooted for Haycole and Donny as underdogs and because Hayden was my favorite since week one. I have come to the point where I am fine with Jocata and Victoria leaving because they don't add much to the game.
The problem is, none of my people have ever been in control. With the BS or Detonators, Zankie sticks around for a while but they don't win. With The Rationale, Haycole makes it further in the game but not to the end. Either way, Derrick and Cody are in control. The only way to really shake up the house and make individuals start rethinking their games is to have a ticked off Hayden or Donny (who had always known who the ringleader is) win HOH and take out Derrick. I'm just not sure if their is anyone he would go home over at this point.
Good Fruit Loop Dingus Morning!
WOW! Zack is staying!!!
Bringing a big bowl of fruit loops to the party tonight.
So happy we get more Zack moments!
But ….I think all the trash talk about Zack is gonna come back to bite Them. The very ones who are now saving him
Once Hayden/Nicole learn of this, my hope is that they tell Zack everything….
Wouldn't it be awesome game move for Zack after he is saved to work w/ Hay/Nic/Donny and pull Vic in…
Have a great day!
can't wait for tonight!!!
Pickedonalways
Wait.. Amanda was scripted to win last year? Damn! I bet she is super pissed right now
Noooo I don't want another Evil Dick-aka Zach to win this game or another Andy-aka Frankie to win this game. They Difinetly don't need the money. This is another wasted Hoh -uugh!!!! This sucks can u say-"Booooorrriing"-another dang unaniamous vote wasted on Jocastairst. I wanna say something. My mind is not in the right place. Ive been missing out on the live feeds.My health is on the line. I had found out through my mammo and re-chech, that they found microcalcifications on my right breast. This could go either way.This could be benign or cancerous. This is mind boggeling mentally and emotionally.if , if i have it, it would be stage 1 breast cancer. I would have to get a Lumpetectomy and radiation. Or chemo . Im 4'6 and i only weigh 96lbs. And im 42yrs. Old. Would they treat me for medicine as a child or adult becuase of my hieght, weight, and age.uuugh!!!.NEXTthursday I am getting a Stereotactic biopsy done on it. I've never been through any kind of surgery or on any medicine whatsoever. I am scared and freaking out. I am stressin out in a big way. I'm looking on internet for everything even though I'm not supposed.
Anyways, thanks for letting me vent. I really appreciate you Carolyn for your updates. I love you. And now heres what I gotta say about the flip.
Grendon
I like Derrick. He is playing a good game (he isnt Dan). I think I give him less credit than some because of my midwest bias against the northeast. I know if someone talked that much and with that accent, I would instantly think "this guy is full of shit"... But Im older than the kids in the house. Maybe Donny thinks the same thing
My take on this... DR probably got in Beastmodes ear. So? Thats their job. Its the HG's job to get done what they want to get done regardless of any obstacles Big Brother puts in front of them. Dont be Eric from bb8. Vote out evel Dick! Also, I dont really have a dog in this fight. I dont like HayCole, but I dont have a favorite either. What I do know (for a fact) is Zach is 1000x better for the show than Jocosta. Nicole didnt make a big move this week (especially if she sends Jocosta home) and even though it looks like "the same people are running the show BORING!" Its not because it is consolidating the people that are actually playing the game. The lines are being drawn, but there is still plenty of wiggle room. They already have Victoria, there is no reason to have 2.
This plan wouldnt bother me if christine wasnt involved. She rubs me the wrong way. I love haycole and it seems like they are doomed now.
pickedonalways,
There is no evidence that this is production interference---it's not like those ploys where they grant special powers like Diamond POVs, Coup D'Etats or Pandora's Boxes--this is the very game of BB....
There are so many days without anything for HGs to do but think about the vote, add the numbers...they flip and they flop, and you cannot always expect them to agree with you. This time they decided to stick with their original alliance and planned vote with 3 long-time fellow alliance members, not vote out one of their own, but rather someone from the other side of the house, who cannot win a comp, has no strategy, and has been nominated too many times to count---why is it suspicious when they don't jump ship to go with 2 people with sketchy records of winning, who have a 3d they won't let go of yet they insist D and C agree to vote out their 4 allies first? That got to them. Keep Donny but vote out every Detonator? Hmmmmm. Sounds like they'd be next to go after Frankie and Christine, tho Christine would likely defect before it came to that..... The numbers just don't support defection. Production did not do that.
Caleb was not told of the planned vote until yesterday. And that was the 1st time his simple logic was added to the mix. Derrick and Cody were so angry over the idea that Christine and Frankie would tell Nicole to put them up (and vice versa) they were blinded to the fact that their majority would be threatened. Derrick simply figured that a plus one vote would be adequate...Caleb suggested Christine might he aligned with Nicole and that would tilt results.... After some time had passed and cooler heads ruled, they realized the idea of revenge might bite them back...
This is how votes go every season. They soon will swing the other way. In fact, the majority invariably loses someone in the DE that's happening tomorrow! Whether it's the chutzpah of the majority or the emotions of those who lose someone they care about, the other side usually gets an HOH and/or a POV win and the majority loses someone considered indispensable like Jeff or Brendon. It's been happening for years. The downs of BB are terrible, but the highs soar. Be patient.
Accusing production without evidence only dilutes accusations made when they do meddle!
Happy dance #zachattack
@ Gma, wait...what?
Ummmmm, last I checked televisions were not supposed to be in charge of teaching right from wrong and molding young, impressionable minds.
There are sooooooo many more important causes in life. Perhaps you should focus your attention on one of those and see if you can "be the change you want to see in the world."
Didn't turn on the feeds last night after the halfway party.... I assumed they would be boring, and we knew for sure who would be leaving in today's first evection.
What a difference a night makes!!!
No matter who my favorites are, or if production "planted seeds" or not.... I enjoy the game play, the paranoia, and the flips. They keep me entertained....and isn't that the reason I watch BB in the first place?
As always, thanks for all you do, Carolyn. I would also like to extend my thanks to Lessa and to those who keep us updated in the comment section.
Looking forward to an exciting show tonight!!!
Enjoy the day, everyone :)
***naptime.. I'll publish more comments when I wake up. :)
Thank you for being here.♥
Good morning! Well, I was hoping last night that someone in that house would come to their senses and realize they need to keep Zach in the house. I never dreamed that all this would go down like that. In my perfect world in the BB house, I would have hoped one of them would turn it all on Christine with all her lies and keep Zach and tell him it was her idea to get him out and tell him of all things she had said so that he would be the one to go after her and get her out if he won HOH. Now it all is a mess. I think it is funny for her cause she wants him out so bad and she will have to vote and keep him so save face with her alliance. I love this game!
lscott
I dont think Ian was even an Ian.. He was just a good kid that people wanted to vote for. Dan made the Quack Pack. He just let Ian give it a name. I would like to see Ian play again though
I was so excited that I never said good morning today. I'm sorry.
Two things that are bothering me-Frankie told Zack that without Derrick and Cody things could have gone horribly wrong for Zack. It was BECAUSE of Derrick and Cody that things almost went wrong. That's the thing that bothers me the most about Frankie. He puts far too much faith in people. He really trusts Derrick and Cody, Christine and, until recently, Haycole. From out here in feedster land it seems like, with all his insight, it should be obvious that there are people who would want him out.
Second thing, Zack commented about the other side of the house being smart. He was corrected a couple times and told that Donny and Nicole are smart as if Hayden is a big dum puppy on a leash. Hayden is very smart. All 3 of them are. Realistically they haven't had a chance. Hayden never believed he was part of the guys alliance but was smart enough not to rock the boat because he hs d no power. It does seem like Donny id afraid to make a move but I think part of that is because he doesn't want to be the first to turn traitor on TA. And the dual HOH, BoB screwed Nicole. She wasn't afraid to go after big targets but if she had put 2 strong players up they would have probably won BoB. If it had been a single HOH I have no doubt that Frankie and Zack would have been OTB with Caleb as a possible third choice.
Cabel needs only himself for his life parner. Noone else can withstand his high and mighty attitude of himself. He needs to go now.
There was a third thing that bothered me that I forget to mention. I know I am complaining a lot today but that's just me.
Everyone was giving Derrick a big pat on the back for defending Victoria to Zack. Derrick, as a father, would never put up with someone treating his daughter that way. So where were his fatherly instincts when he was pimping out Cody to keep Brittany in check. And where were his fatherly instincts when Amber was being stalked, harrassed and threatened and her reputation was being trashed?
Just saying, let's be honest. Derrick wants Victoria in his pocket as a final 2 option and a vote for him from the jury house. It's not the father in him, it's the BB player.
I do not like this one bit. Not that I care that Zach is staying, I could care less. I don't really care for him but whatever. The fact I don't like is.....I love Nicole. I hate the fact that this will be for sure the end of her. What also irritates me is, Derrick thinks Frankie and Christine are paranoid when, in fact, he is the paranoid one. He thinks everyone is playing him. When it's actually Frankie and Christine. Both have mentioned his name to get rid of. I loved the alliance of Derrick, Cody, Nicole & Hayden. Nicole & Hayden are the most trustworthy people in the house. IMO But Derrick thinks Nicole is playing him...and she's not. ughhhhh
Also....I read the Derrick said to the cameras that America is getting what they want....how would he know that?
Carolyn thank you for all you do for people. This world need more people like you in it.My prayres go out for all of you that have had health probems this year. My sunshine and love brighten your day.
Wow!! I have to admit Im dissappointed in the shift to keep Zach. I really wanted to see the Rationale and Donny make it to final 5. Tired of the Detonators being in power. Still think Derrick is playing the best game but I wohld rather see him play with Rationale than Detonators. Still holding out hope that the vote will go 4-4 with Christine and Vic voting out Zach. If not my next wish would be for Hayden or Donny to win the first hoh of the de and get out Zach or Frankie...then of course Im desperately hoping for an endurance hoh on the feeds. Either way cant wait to see whats going to happen tonight!! Love double evictions!!
Thanks Caro for all you do!! I read tor every morning like the newspaper. Youre the best!
What an absolutely fantastic write up! Thank you. Hello Caro and Dishers. I have been good and sick all summer. Glad to be back here. BB is so much better with all of you. Very excited for tonight's show. Hope to make the Party. My first this summer! Hopefully steong enough for the multitasking. Have a great day everyone.
Eh, back to the same old group in power. Ridiculous.
Thank you. I was going to say something but didn't want to seem confrontational. I do believe, especially after last year, that this show is not rated for kids. The edited version is no worse with lying and scheming than Survivor or any other reality show. Dance Moms is geared toward a young audience and the adults are terrible role models. I watch a lot of 'mature' programs with my kids and use it as a basis to start conversations about why certain things are wrong and why certain things are not always what they seem.
Looks like my birthday wish of Zack staying is going to come true! Hooray!!!
OMG!!!!!!! WOW , I have limited my feed watching the past couple of days because I was in mourning. I wake up, grab my coffee and come here to the BEST NEWS EVER!
I've watched Bb since Season one, Production has ALWAYS ALWAYS Played a part. Do the decide? NO, do they get into the HG heads? YES, I'm ok with that, they've always done it and they always will. Fans hate it until they do it with their favorite player , then it's OK....
Anyway, I am with you Carolyn, As much as I loathe Caleb, I will go 24 hours before saying one bad thing about him. Who knew CALEB would be the voice of reason?? LOL I'm still a nervous wreck until this all goes down, but at least I have hope...THANK YOU AS ALWAYS Carolyn , you're the best! xoxox
I really don't think getting rid of the floaters, power players fight it out at the end, works. I'm also not sure I like the term "floaters", it seems to have a very flexible meaning. Someone asked why Derrick wants to keep Victoria. Simple, he can control her vote, and he would win over her in the finals. If I was Derrick I'd want to keep Victoria and Zocasta to the end. My strategy each week would be, who can help me to that goal, who can stop me from reaching that goal? Until a few hours ago he was on that path.
It appears he wants to keep Victoria til the end, I'm not sure who the other person is that he is thinking about.
I would really like to see a tie vote tonight. I think that would make the most drama.
Voting out Victoria is not a "big move".
If production made this happen I dont belive it would have been Caleb that brought it to light. I truly belive Caleb has quietly been thinking this through. Derrick saying that America is getting what they have been asking for, could be coming from him sensing that America is screaming, your being played! Wake up. For the moment I am gonna give Caleb some credit. :/
People have been saying this season has been boring. I can't really agree. While the domination of the guys alliance (because let's admit that they have no real loyalty to Chirstine) has been complete, and I hate any reality show where one side makes it to the end easily, they have created enough drama within their group all by themselves. First, there was the Devin craziness -- entirely self inflicted. Then there was the Caleb/Amber drama (in which I was totally on Amber's side and as appauled as anyone). And now this week, the drama has all been created because the Detonators were tempted to flip on each other, but it looks like they are not ready to pull the trigger. I guess when there is no real threat from the outside, then the drama will naturally come from within. No doubt some of the Detonators will regret the decision to keep Zach, if they do.(My guess is that Derrick and Christine will be damaged the most.) It's funny that they said Donny is a mastermind when he had little to do with it really. Also, they've all decided to pretend (or have developed a group delusion) that Hayden and Nicole were lying - yet they each know that at least as it relates to them, Hayde and Nicole were telling the straight up truth. This is all to cover that they themselves are the reason for all the back and forth. As for DR intervention, if that is what is saving Zach and I think that's terrible, but not unprecedented. What can you do? Nonetheless, I can't wait to see what happens tonight! I certainly know what I want to have happen! I want to see the Detonators detonate!
I love that the tides have changed; it really adds depth to the game. And I LOVE that zack will likely stay now. :)
But Frankie's (and Christine's) best move for himself (herself) would now be to still vote against zack forcing Nicole to do a tiebreaker. Most likely, No one would believe Frankie being the odd vote in their group and lots of drama would ensue during and for the double evict. He might fly under the radar. Christine would likely be blamed and she could always run to the other side if she "is smart and thinking".
Of course who knows what Christine will actually do until it's done.
The most interesting thing will be to see whether Derrick or Hayden (and Nicole) win over Victoria. If she's observed and absorbed HALF of the talk and actions going on around her, she will realize its time for her to pick a side (aka a "brother"). Her chances of going farther would be to side with the outcasts and Hayden. IMO
Whatever happens, I'm at least glad the bri-skaters realized the potential numbers situation and considered keeping zach.
I'm secretly hoping zack stays and is taking it all in and reading between the lines. I hope he realizes how close to being blindsided he was. I hope HE flips on the guys and finally plays hard to WIN not come in second.
*sitting on the edge of my seat and vice gripping the armrests*
This double may be the best ever.
Yay. Finally some gameplay.
I didn't realize so many zack fans were on here! I felt like a lone wolf most days defending him and pumping him up all season. ;-)
*grinning ear to ear*
I totally agree with Yasmin about the Zach trash talk coming back to bite them.. particularly Frankie.. Even in the beginning of this save Zach plan he tried to say he couldn't trust him anymore, he had a final 2 with everyone.. DUH - so does everyone else - including you. I hope Zach sees this for what it really was - a save their ass with you as a pawn again scheme and does some major shifting of power.
Hey - thanks for all you do Carolyn, but just a friendly suggestion. Can you leave your opinions out of it? And the sexual comments (fisting? ugh!) out. My 14 year old reads your blog and it was a tough conversation trying to explain what you meant. Also keep in mind that not all of us like Zach!
Was kinda half listening/watching BBAD in bed last night UNTIL I started hearing the convo with Cody, Christine, Frankie & Derrick! YES!! This kind of stuff is what makes the show for me! The unpredictable game play and flipping!
I started about a week ago really having fun listening/watching Zach's antics and really liking him...but either way, stay or leave, doesn't matter to me really. But, now all the aspects related to the flip and Zach staying has me excited! Although, I do feel kinda bad for Nicole & Hayden...I like them!
I also see a lot of people making comments/tweets about DR interference, leading questions & suggestions to the houseguests that leads to changing the game. I say, I expect the DR to do this...I have watched every season since season 1, and see the DR literally as "Big Brother". They have there finger on the pulse of the house like no one else does...they have access to information we don't see, confessionals, in house convo's etc...I trust them to shake things up, keep the houseguests on their toes, never feeling "safe" for too long...and continue to have a hand in outcomes & flips just like we had last night! I think it would be SO boring without DR/Big Brother's subtle manipulation and mind messing in the DR of our beloved houseguests! Keep up the good work DR/Big Brother! I'm enjoying it ALL! :o)
Hello Caro! Thank you for all your hard work. While I am glad it appears Zach will be staying, I don't like the fact that Nicole & Hayden are being blindsided. Really hoping for a Donny or Hayden HoH win tonight!
Way off subject, but what is "TOR" that I've seen referenced in the comment section? Thanks.
Emmy Greth best of luck with your health

Why bother to watch. I'm tired of it being so one-sided.
Just betwee us girls, I love you, I love this blog and I'm so glad you run it the way you want to. I've been reading for years (this is my first year really commenting) but I've seen the way you handle yourself - always like a lady. You are accepting of people (faults included) and you go above and beyond to be respectful - up to and including censoring yourself and applogizing when you've unknowingly done wrong. Every year it seems like some Dingus is trying to tell you how to run your blog. You do you Girl. Those who "know" you will keep coming back.
And I'm glad you opened up the conversation for Mr. Smith to explain to his daughter what fisting is. Better to hear it from him than from her friends, because sooner or later, she's going to hear about it.
;)

Hi Carolyn ...
I am neither a Zach fan or hater ... find him entertaininng. The ONLY reason I'm not happy about him staying is it once again will be a house ruled by one group.
BTW - I LOVE your comments ... and thank you for doing all that research on the Rosh Hashonah finale night. I wouldn't have minded if that date was the original finale but they JUST changed it so that's what bothered me.
I am still Team Derrick ... but wishes he had stuck with Hayden, Nicole and Donny. Who knows - it may happen.
Again thank you for your wonderful updates.
I think that the audience is split. It's Zack fans on one side and people who think that keeping Zack makes the show boring and predictable.
I am a Zack / Zankie fan- not necessarily to win, just to watch. I also have wanted a shake up and I am in the group that has rooted for Hayden, Nicole and Donny. But I feel that evicting Zack did not really cause a power shift or make the show less boring because the same person was still running the house.
The real problem is that everyone (except Donny) trusts Derrick and, by association, Cody. Maybe this actually will cause a shake up. Derrick still has the old gang snowed but, if by some miracle, Hayden/Nicole/Donny make it through DE they know now that they are on their own. No more floaters, no more pawns, no more personal decisions. They will have to go after the big guns and there is no bigger gun than Derrick.
TELLA.... ok spill. I have no idea what her husband has been saying and it has really been a burning question in my mind after seeing how she acts with Cody ..I keep wondering "what would her husband say?" lol so please enlighten me:D ty!!
:) agree
You nailed it Grendon, voting out Zach exposes Derricks game. It is, IMO, his first bad move.
Caro, you keep the comments coming, that is one of the things that makes your blog so interesting.
Even though I'm not a fan of "Beastmode Cowboy" it's nice to see him thinking clear for once without Amber clouding his thinking!! Go Zankie!!
I forgot to say Good Morning – the morning was so great in fact that I forgot my dishmanners. Happy double eviction day to everyone – thank you Carolyn, once again. Sadly, I’m sure you’re in for a hell of a long night – whether it’s endurance or not – because people will be scrambling and scheming. Love my BB.
I’m wrong 75% of the time so I can laugh at myself; I’ve been silent here for so many years and now this year, you cannot keep my quiet. But here I go again…
It’s going to get very interesting after this double eviction and the second HoH steps into power. I still see it being an “endurance” not just a physical challenge so I’m predicting Caleb to win (unless he miraculously wins the first HoH comp or is evicted in the second vote). I think Cody or Hayden (barring a slip up like on the balance beam) will win the first HoH if it has any physical aspect since it’ll involve being quick also. If it’s questions, it’ll be very interesting (and I can’t predict) since this group has already proven their memory capability. They will all be going hard core for this competition unless they’re STUPID; noone is safe.
Hopefully this season is just revving up. Pandora’s box is coming – either this week or the following; possible three – which would be a real twist. You’d get one good and one bad – but hmmmm that third one might be…..oh the possibilities. I think cbs realizes that “the most twisted season ever” hasn’t been very twisted at all. Sure we’re only half way but we haven’t seen the ZingBot, a celebrity host, a “movie” or other “luxury” night. There’s been absolutely nothing related to this treehouse/nature theme, nobody is counting anything in the house – those birdhouses, the wood planks, the fire alarms, the “rocks”, etc. – or have I missed them doing it? The silly double HoH and BoB has interfered with just about all the interesting possibilities.
We didn’t get any silly HOUSE comps in goofy costumes because there were NO H/HN/Food comps. I am banking on CBS living up to the hype of the “most twisted” ever because so far that aspect has been a DUD. I like the energy this week has provided to the lead up of the Double Eviction. I am hoping CBS starts the twists coming in a bang bang format. It’ll be perfect timing.
OMG Carolyn – how can you nap on a day like today? LOL – Just Kidding. Nap away because we’re gonna have a rough tide tonight!
So where are the alliances now? How will that change after the double evict? Bruwhahaha…can’t wait to find out. I’ll do some predictions next…
oh. my. goodness. I read this this morning at 6:00 Eastern time and it literally made my day! I am sooooooooo excited! I love love love love this season. I was super bummed to see Zach going out the door, because A: he's funny and brings much needed drama B: I didn't like that they were going to blindside him (although I understood) I thought I might cry seeing him go through that.
I am 100% team Derrick and am 85% for Zankie too :)
It's a good day... here comes the drama! :)
Thanks for all your hard work Carolyn!

TOR
The Overnight Report
Good morning to you, sweet, adorable, Carolyn. I one million percent echo what silence and sunshine said at 9:27am in this post. You ARE the best and I love your comments. Those throwing stones at you can kick rocks ... I hope ending w/ bruised toes.
This TOR was so good!! Even better was watching it all unfold during the day on the feeds. Last night, especially, was why everyone should get the feeds. Magical. Incredible. Wonderful. Get the feeds, folks.
Hi Everyone :)
I'm attending a memorial service.. so there will be no morning update.
I look forward to seeing you for the viewing party tonight.
Part One:
Derek's number one alliance is still to his family – I believe he will CUT anyone from the game in order to stay. He’s still playing the best game whether I like it or not. @Grendon – you’re right he is a fog machine!!! I do not think he has any true alliance – it’s obvious that he’s groomed Victoria to sit next to him but can she remove herself from the equation and see it – and then could she make a move??
I still think (in his heart) Cody's number one alliance is Zach. He watched his other close allies leave and he’s piecing together the “how and why”. I think you’ll see him and Zach reunite if Zach is saved. It “appears” that Cody is with Derrick via the HitMen, but I think Grendon’s fog is clearing and he’s lining up the facts. He doesn’t fully trust anyone at this point. I cannot remove the image from my mind when that faux-fight happened between Caleb/Zach and Cody ran up the stairs to put BMC down…. I think Cody is Derrick’s blind spot and Cody just might be the one to send Derrick packing. Cody has had good relationships with Hay/Vic/Don….he’s one to watch; he might usurp the win from Derrick.
Nicole’s blind spot is Derrick; hopefully she’ll be clued in to the “fog” before she gets evicted. I hate that her HoH is ending with a floater most likely leaving – but that’s what happens when you fail to put up TWO targets – BoB or not – there were FOUR big male targets to put up and she went with the easier route of using pawns – Donny was on board to put up the THREE who had not been nommed. Like her, but her game is too soft. Glad she see’s through Christine finally.
Donny is on a sinking ship; but is it the titantic? It is unless Zach and/or Zankie attempt to align with him. I still LOVE Donny but he just hasn’t had the right power or cooperation to do what’s necessary to secure himself in the game. If he could somehow pull off the second HoH during the double eviction, Pandora’s Box could possibly give him the necessary power he needs to “reset” his game.
Can Victoria wake up and act on her own? I still see her being in a house with all guys at final five. Hopefully her and Nicole can make a pact and find some muscle to protect them to final four (I’m guessing that would be the unlikely grouping of H/N/V with Caleb or Zach). I’d be entertained to watch that unfold.
Hayden’s downfall will be that he didn’t choose a side sooner. Unless Victoria realizes that he’s more trust worthy than Derrick; Hayden will be everyone’s target soon. Sad, because I love me some Hayden and Haycole. Maybe he’ll win his way to the end! That’s certainly possible.
Part Two:
Christine’s inner tube is springing so many leaks and a deluge of water is heading her way. She better hold her breath because she IS going down. She has NO chance if Zach is saved and will be at the bottom of any “side” she chooses at this point if Zach goes. You reap what you sow. Hated her game and will enjoy watching her demise. *bruwhahaha
Caleb’s mind has cleared (a bit). His loyalty is courageous but it will be his downfall too. Unless he can remember he is in BB and that BB requires a few lies/backstabs/misleads SOMEwhere along the route, he cannot win or get to f2 unless he BeastModes it to the end via PoV’s.
Zack is still my fave and is definitely a wildcard – for how he is playing and for his ability to win. Will he blindly fall into the guy alliance or to Zankie? I hope not. Will he and Cody convene and solidify the best f2 deal possible? I hope so! Will he turn the tables and align with the enemy (like Evel Dick did)? I’d be OK with that! Or will he keep his zac attack course and let himself be manipulated by the masses? NOOOOOOOOO – don’t take this route! I hope he kicks Frankie to the curb. I’m actually hoping he aligns with both Cody and Donny. How smart is he and does he really want to win? That is the real question and if he stays, he will still be the master of his own fate – but in order to win, he has to take control of that fate instead of giving control to others.
I’m SO over Frankie and it’s clear he will go with whoever has the power while maintaining none. He put his eggs in Christine’s basket KNOWING there are holes in everything connected to Christine – she was simply all he had left to gamble on. So now, can he convince Beast Mode that he is the only one who’s believed in him and secure an alliance with him? I think he is toast if he doesn’t. Everyone sees through him at this point except Caleb (or maybe Zac) so nobody will trust him fully again.
I’m just not gonna mention Jacosta. She is the bane of my Zack’s existence.
***still biting my nails***
To those Dishers bashing Production, do you realize how you are saying these hamsters are too dumb to figure this out otherwise??
Derrick spent most off yesterday afternoon laying abed in the Fire room, staring at the ceiling, thinking thru everything. Caleb, CALEB, asked a simple, straight forward question, "why should we keep an enemy and vote off one of our numbers." Inertia overcome!! Derrick told Cody before going into the Dr they needed to regroup.
It's like I said last night in the Viewing post, why is Derrick dropping a 6 person group that he leads for a 5 person group he is at the bottom of ... he is wicked smart and survived undercover by his spidey sense.
Give these players some credit.
Lulu (aka Stefanie) - Amen to your 5:39am post. My thoughts to a tee.
carolyn, love what you do, love your passion and LOVE Your comments, even if I don't always agree lol. Don't stop what your doing. IMO NO 14 year old should be reading a blog or watching feeds. be a parent, monitor them and keep it to the 3 shows on TV. There, I said it. I've always felt this way by the way, we've talked numerous times in chat rooms about BB being age appropriate on the live feeds, chats and even twitter. It's not my job to sensor myself because someone can't with their own child. BTW You don't have to publish this, just thought I'd throw in my two cents lol
As a zach fan, I will happily line up to kiss the a$$ of Caleb.
Lulu (aka Stefanie) Keep posting, I am agreeing with and enjoying all of your posts. Thanks.
Too much fog surrounding Derrick. When they question him, it just becomes foggier! I know that's not a word but it fits! ;-) and I totally agree on the issue at hand! I'm hoping Cody finds Caleb's fog goggles.
For everyone in their cups about this most recent shift in the House, think about this. The Donny, HayCole group came w/in one day of succeeding. One day!! So close to a major coup. And there is still a lot that can happen today. Nothing is done until the vote. This is BB!!
I will be very surprised if we see anything on the feeds today. This is Production ... building tension.
I have football tonight so I will be joining from the alt stream. Enjoy the day and let's hope for some real gameplay from now on. No more hiding in the weeds. Draw a line and play like there is no tomorrow.
(There was some talk of hearing activity in the second bedroom last night. They speculated Pandora's Box, but it is more likely the end of BoB.)
I also agree with it being a learning tool for children. But most parents are not watching the same show. When our children were small I watch what they did. Abc; Nbc; and Cbs are local channels that children can pick up on their tvs. Hoping parents start paying attention to whatt they are watching. Thanks for the advice. Parents pay attention you are raising our future. Hope all of you have a great day.
Laurie- "tor" = The Overnight Report (that Ms. Carolyn so faithfully transcribes for us to read every morning) :) :)
And I do believe he's presented her as dumb to others and has poked a few jokes her way in weeks past. He only steps up if it's in the interest of his game. The only time I remember him going into any protective or cop mode for real was when Caleb hit Amber with the rock pillow. At first, he clarified it wasn't a literal rock before hehawing. His instinct about Caleb's potential at that point kicked in! He should've known there wasn't a literal rock available to be thrown and that production would've stepped in....but he knew Caleb was walking a tight rope and could snap. I think momentarily he forgot the game but only momentarily.
You are so right I was just listening to some teenagres the other day talking about how they could do a reality show. This one is the one I watch.
Um, Mr Smith, this is HER blog! AND in case you hadn't noticed this SHOW is full of sexual inuindos!
Carolyn...I, for one, absolutely love your comments and wish there were more. Please don't change. There has been more than one time that I busted out laughing at your comment because I was thinking the same thing! Love ya girl!
Omg carolyn.
This post made me wish that I could afford the feeds. :)
I like this decision to save Zach. Jacosta has been given EVERY opportunity to get in this game and she still doesn't do anything! If you are on the block every week, you need to change your game.
I'm more impressed with Derrick's game every day.
I don't know what is going on with Christine's game play. She just seems all over the place and just wants attention.
Nicole is blinded by Hayden. If she is not careful, I think he will play her. Hayden acts like an idiot but I think the HG's are finally catching on to his game.
I just saw that CBS is airing a pre season football game during BB and pushing it back until 2:30 am. Is there anywhere I can go and watch the west coast show? HELP!!!
This year is so much better. I do wish all parents took the time as most all yall on this post do the same with their children.They all need to know that real life and t.v. are not the same. Have a great time watching tonight.
I'm so excited for tonight and the double elimination!
As far as who goes home during the first elimination, I'm not worried about that one - I'm more excited about seeing what happens after. How crazy is it going to be for all of those like Victoria or Christine, who haven't thought for themselves this whole time, to have to make any kind of decisions! And if Jocasta doesn't get voted out first and has to compete in all of those competitions live, she's going to be speaking in tongues by the end of the hour! She panics so easily. Going to be a fun night for us BB fans (even better for me this year that I have the whole family watching!)
I have to say.... after looking at some older posts and even the images they use in the opening, Derrick has lost a lot of weight while being in the BB house - and I don't think he's been on slop once, right?
this now proves to me that BIG BROTHER is rigged and always has been when the producers get involved to save someone means that the game is rigged and CBS is commiting a fraud on its viewers mark my words either frankie or zack will win because thats the way A Grodner wants it must like every previous year i, done with BIG Brother because of the dishonesty of the producers.
@Todd Smith
I agree with you about the sexual comments. Many fans are young and they get bombarded everywhere as is.
I believe Fisting is when you hit somebody in the face with a fist. ;-)
Lulu
I agree with you 100%! I love this seasons cast and I honestly dont know who I want to win yet. I do, like you, feel once the "weeds" are pulled the game will be very intresting. I also agree with you on Donny. I think hes a very sweet man but as far as playing the game....IMO hes boring. I think once Jocasta, Victoria & Donny are evicted it will be GAME ON!! I agree as well Derrick is not Dan, but he IS playing HIS game and is playing the best game of all these HG's and of course last years. Its been refreshing watching all of them and they have restored my love and addiction of Big Brother! Once the "weeds" are pulled I would like to see Christine & Frankie on the block. Once they are gone i have no idea who i would put up lol well I keep forgetting about Caleb :/ I just read your post and it was like reading my own thoughts and wanted to let you know you arent alone. Have a good evening and see all you dishers and our lovely Caro tonight at the DE!
I have read this blog since day one, I always get my feeds from you guys and love all that you have done. I have yet to comment on here until now. I have never been a Zach fan, and here is why. When he put up Nicole/Christine during his rein he was as mean as mean could be. All of his "buddies" were ready to put him out until last night. Now here is his comment from just now on the feeds. Zach and Christine in the Storage Room. Zach is telling her how he almost had a heart attack last night when he found out that they might have voted him out. Christine telling him that it was so good that Cody came and talked to her. Zach saying that once the votes are read he is going to be up in Nicole's face telling her "Fu*k you". He is going to start screaming. He will make her cry and he is going to ignore Hayden. Christine is pumping him up and reminds him if this is an DE night he needs to put up Hayden/Donnie and backdoor Nicole and he says yeah and send her right out the door.
He tells Christine that she is a good actor (and he doesn't know the half of it. How she was working earlier in the week to send him home). WHAT A JERK!!!! Watch him end up winning, if that is the case, I want them all to remember this mistake they made.
Zach doesn't deserve to stay. He put up a member of his alliance, he purposely threw one or more crucial comps, and he sleeps so much he is in danger of getting bedsores. I hope he finds out that Derrick & Co are playing him and only kept him because of Caleb's telling them they need the numbers.
Caleb thinks the Bomb Squad is still a thing; the Detonators are using Caleb & using Zach but have a big fat hissy fit if anyone tries to game them (this happens every season).
Back to boring Derrick running everything, and while I am on a rant here, Cody is more of a lunk than a hunk. His only strategy is cuddling. At this point I hope I don't care who wins as long as it isn't Derrick or Cody.
I've been a long-time reader, and have never commented in the past. I have tried several times this year to no avail. I love the blog and would also love to comment once in a while. My chief concern at the moment is that Frankie and Christine both seem oblivious to the fact that Derrick and Cody appeared to be considering flipping--seeing as they kept the plot to back door Frankie from him for such a long time. I'd surely question that kind of behavior I were playing this game!
Anyone have a link for east coasters to stream the LIVE Double Eviction episode tonight...NFL preseason football on tonight!!
Two hours till show time. *nervously stomping feet in drum roll fashion*
Zack is gonna make his stupid speech.
*Aaaarrgh* !!!!
Around 2ish he was talking about making life hell for Nic/Hay/Don and how he is angry. Well he's making me angry! Poor guy doesn't know when to STFU. Those three could be his future allies and he's not seeing the bigger picture.
I'm still NOT convinced that Christine will keep him. Frankie wasn't awake early enough to get a feel for him either. I'm still nervous about the outcome. Even if he stays, Zack keeps digging his grave deeper and deeper. I hope he climbs out in china soon and makes his way back to Smartsville!
*hanging on to the edge in anticipation*
8~|
Hey been busy to blog but wanted to wish the best to Carolyn : so sorry to hear what your going through. You do an amazing job. And on a game note: so happy Zach is staying!
