The Overnight Report
Good morning, BB Lovers! Happy Friday to you and welcome to Cody's HoH Week! Donny fans, now would be a good time to begin your PoV prayers, good thoughts, and/or juju..
If you missed it on the live feeds last night, here's The HoH Reveal. Cody will be making his nominations today.. and since the BoB is now over, I wonder if the HGs will have a Have/Have Not Comp.. or perhaps a Pandora's Box.. One of the 2. They need something to fill up the Sunday Show, in addition to the HoH Comp and the Nominations... We'll see!
As we rejoin our HGs, the HoH Reveal has just broken up and Cody remains upstairs with just the women..
12:25am
Cody, Nicole, Victoria and Christine.
Nicole: It feels weird. It's a weird vibe. It's cool.. Super cool.
Cody: Like it feels weird that you went to another place..
Nicole: Like I didn't have to wear a mic for a week.. Just a different mindset. ..and now I feel like an alien in here.
Christine: mm hmm.. that is weird.
Cody: An alien??
Nicole: yeah.
Christine: ♫ and you look like one too.
Nicole: I'm so embarrassed about that comp.. But it makes me feel better that you crushed it, because even if I had gotten the 1st one right, I wouldn't have stood a chance. You got em right on your first try. I could hear you next to me, friggin' hammerin' the crap out of everything.. I was like jeez!
Cody: Take it easy, Cod! Oh, cuz you were sittin' there..
Nicole: I was sittin' right there, yeah.
After brief fishies..
Cody: Nicole! I can't believe you and Hayden.. Oh my Gahh..
Christine: I know! What the hell? That was awesome.
Cody: I'm gonna be honest. I'm a little jealous.
Cody: Awww.
Nicole: He's honestly the most thoughtful, nicest guy I've ever met. Not to be mean..
Cody: How? That's so cute to say..
Nicole: Just everything.. Like, literally, when he makes me breakfast, he asks me what I want..
Cody: Makes you breakfast?!
Nicole: Every single day.
**awwww!!
Victoria: That's so cute.
Christine: Every morning he made her breakfast. Did he make Jocasta breakfast too?
Nicole: Um.. she was never up when we were up. Like, we got up around 1 or 2.
Christine: Cuz at night you guys were kind of.. busy.. so that makes sense, yeah.
Nicole: hehehe.. no, we were on a different schedule.
Christine: What did you have for breakfast? I'm curious.
Nicole: He made me breakfast egg sandwiches, breakfast burritos..
Victoria: Awww!
Nicole: One day, he was like, "What do you want," and I was just like "Fruit Loops?" So he made me a bowl of Fruit Loops, and he always gives me orange juice, and he gave me a kiwi, and he knows I like it like.. He does the same thing for himself, so whatever I eat he eats.. and he sets it up.. and he eats his kiwi in a whole, and I eat mine cut in half with a spoon, so it was so cute, he's sittin there with it cut in half, with like a spoon. hehehe
Christine: Oh my God!!!
OK.. adorable as this is.. there is game to cover, and I've got to move on.
CUT TO:
1:35am
Camera 1 and 2
Frankie, Cody, Nicole
Frankie: I bet you it's gonna be nominations tomorrow, then PoV on Saturday, like it always has been. And then maybe we'll have another competition on Sunday. Then Monday meeting. Then we're back to normal. That makes sense to me..
**Generally no. Typically, the Have Not or Luxury or Whatever Pandora's got up her Box to fill space on the Sunday show happens on Friday, before nominations..
CUT TO:
1:37am
Nicole is now alone up in the HoH Room, wanting and waiting to talk to Cody.. and planning out what she'll say.. Let's listen in on Nicole's thought process..
**And enjoy having her fantastic, expressive face back on the feeds.☺
Nicole: I'm by myself in this game.. I just got back in.. Umm.. I'm not coming.. I think it would be stupid for you to try to get me out this week, because you have such big targets in this game.. Do you really think that you, Caleb, Frankie, Christine and Frankie and Derrick and Victoria.. Derrick's not gonna let go of Victoria. Me and Donny are the 2 out, then what? Then you're gonna start cutting throats.
Nicole: I have no hard feelings toward you whatsoever.. Umm.. I'm by myself.. I just got back, and I'm weak.. I have to build up relationships.. and I think I'd be a waste of your HoH to be completely honest with you. And also, I don't see how getting down to a.. I think it'd be easier to get guys out that could potentially get you out. Frankie's won 4 HoHs.. 4! That's insane. He won a BoB by himself. Donny won a BoB by himself. They are very strong players. Very strong.
After a while of waiting, Nicole gives up on him coming upstairs, and she heads down..
She only has to wait a few minutes til Cody goes up to HoH on his own.. She follows 2 minutes later.
CUT TO:
1:46am
HoH Room
Cody and Nicole
Nicole: You don't have to be scared of me. I just wanna talk for a sec. Ok.. So I'm back, which is super cool, and I'm super thankful, ya know? And obviously, I feel like an outcast again.. and it's very uncomfortable.
Cody: I can't even imagine.
Nicole: Umm.. But.. Just things for you to think about. So.. I guess.. Now that it's one HoH.. I think we can talk more. I feel awkward, Cody.
Cody: Why do you feel awkward?
Nicole: Because I'm by myself. Everybody had another week of bonding. I can't even think straight.. I feel helpless again..
Cody: I know what you're trying to say. You were out for a week.. And to be honest, we all talked about the stuff you said, and we all kinda cross-referenced, and it kinda seemed as if you were just bs'ing a lot.
Nicole: I don't think that's true whatsoever..
Cody: Granted this past week, Donny was trying to get me out of the house.
Nicole: I didn't bs and I'm not..
Cody: Don't mind me smiling.. it's just when you and I talk, I think you're so adorable, it's hard not to smile.
Nicole: I just think that's funny.. Of course people are saying that. They're going to try to cover their butts when somebody's out of the house, and good for them.. Everybody will see some day, but the past is the past and like you lied to me.. I've lied.. I honestly don't think that I've lied to you..
Cody: When did I lie to you?
Nicole: You've lied so many times Cody.. but it's fine. I have to move on. Maybe you didn't lie to me.. That's not what I'm here to talk about. I'm here to talk about you thinking about your game. Right now, I'm by myself.
Cody: mm hmm
Nicole: I'm weak.. just got back into the game.. Like, if you wanna waste your HoH on me, good for you, but do you think that you, Derrick, Caleb, Frankie and Christine.. and Victoria's with Derrick.. You 6 when you start cutting throats, are you gonna tell me that Caleb and Frankie aren't gonna turn and go after you? You have to think about that stuff. You have to make a big game in this move (sic). Big move in this game.. I mean, that's what I would do.. I'm not coming after you. Like, if I would've won HoH, you wouldn't have even gone up. That's what's frustrating to me. I feel like no matter who won HoH besides Donny, I was gonna go up. And that's frustrating because, what about the people that I wouldn't have put up, and I would've helped and had their backs?
Nicole: Zach bugged me and bugged me.. I could've told him all this bullcrap.. I didn't tell him our alliance name. I didn't tell him who came to who. I didn't tell him anything, because I liked you enough to not blow up your game. I went out of the house without blowing up your game, and I very well could have, and I chose not to.
Cody: Well, apparently you did. You told everyone that we came to you about the alliance.
Nicole: No, I did not say that.
Cody: And we thought of names..
Nicole: I did not say that. I never ever ever said you guys came to us.. This isn't how Big Brother's played and that's annoying. I'm actually here to play the game. I'm not gonna sit here and say he said that, she said that. If you want to believe that, good. But I'm sick of being a good person and getting punished for it. It's frikkin' annoying. I'm not gonna come back into this house and start lying and manipulating people when that's not what I did before, but the people who are lying and manipulating are getting firther and it is frustrating.
Cody: This past week, Donny wanted me out. He was actively trying to get me out. To be honest, maybe you go on the block, but I want Donny out, period.
Nicole: I have given you nothing but honest information. People are going to lie to you. I haven't.
Cody: I want Donny out. I think the only person he didn't campaign against me to last week was Derrick.
This conversation is ongoing for about a half an hour, if you'd like to catch it on flashback.. You've got the punchline. Cody tells her that Donny is the target this week, and that she may not even go up. The 2nd part is a lie.. The first part is not. Derrick decided Donny was a must-go shortly after the HoH Comp at 10:46pm on Cameras 3 and 4 if you'd like to see it on flashback. It was just a little too close for comfort with Cody only winning by 1 second.
Following this conversation, at 2:20am, Cody shares what Nicole told him with Christine, Frankie and Victoria.. They have a laugh..
Just after 3am, in an HoH conversation between Cody, Derrick, Frankie, Caleb and Christine, it is decided, Donny and Nicole will be the Nominees..
And this, dear dishers, concludes the Overnight Report. I'll see you when BB wakes the HGs! ☺ Thank you for being a part of BBDish!

Good morning.
I would be amazed if Cody does anymore than look pretty and do exactly as Derrick directs.
Yawn.
I heard Zach's dad had been making noises about suing CBS over how the Team America twist screwed Zach's game. Julie sure did interview Zach for a long time pressing him on his own decisions in the game making a lawsuit way harder to win.
I guess the odds of Nicole or Donny winning HOH weren't very good but the predictability sure is boring. At least Nicole and Donny will have each other to talk to this week since Derrick has decreed that no one is allowed to talk to Nicole alone. And if he catches anyone in the beehive talking with her? There will be hell to pay. Derrick has spoken. He is definitely starting to show his ugly side
Good morning, Jerry :0)
Actually, as Donny was actively campaigning against Cody last week, I'd say a Donny nomination comes from independent thought.. not decree.
Good morning, Yellow Dog :)
Really?? I hadn't heard that. hm! It's unfortunate that the edit made it look like the last TA task was why they put him up.. when it truly had nothing to do with it.
ALL - time for another 3 hours of sleep.. I bank hours by 2s and 3s.. ;0) And today's gonna be a LONG one, with whatever comp/box, noms, etc!
I'll see you back here in a bit!
This bums me out. I was hoping to see Nicole or Donny win HoH. Same old.... same old.
Hey Carolyn,
Hope your Fingers are ready just incase they go back to the Friday HOH meetings with each houseguest to see their take.
Here we go again! Cody has no idea what osmosis is, Donny does and he also knows what diluted means. And he has a Harvard tee shirt! Frankie hasn't let all of these clues go to waste; Donny isn't a groundskeeper, he's a Harvard Medical Doctor! (Thank god there is a doctor in the house, some of these characters could use some brain surgery!)
Oy vey!
Re: the alleged lawsuit by Zach's dad, doubt very much anything will come of it, but wonder if pater is also bringing up the "renom rule" as CBS seems to be trying to CYA in that category via DR instructions (first to HOH Frankie & now to HOH Cody).
Bringing back Nicole was kind of useless without an HOH to go with it, can't believe Donny missed it by one lousy second. Sigh.
Derrick has become the Hitler of BB16. At this point I think he could tell some of those idiots to physically attack Donny and they would listen.
YellowDog: I dont think there is any basis for a lawsuit. Seems like silly conjecture. Production did not tell Team America to use Zach as their pawn and scapegoat. He allowed himself to be manipulated.
I am sad to see him go but I dont blame production. I just hope that once he sees this show he changes his mind about befriending Frankie or Derrick outside of the BBHouse.
I know its a game but it also reveals alot about your character as a person. Its one thing to throw someone under the bus its another to vilify and berate them. You can play the game and not come off like a scumbag.
For everyone complaining that TA ruined Zachs game, have they forgotten that America voted for TA and Zach had the same chance everyone else (besides Frankie) did.
Please let us have a diamond power of veto and Nicole or Donny get it !!! Isn't that what Jeff had and he got to replace two nominees??? That's what we need- good morning everyone and thanks Caro
I thought Frankie made it clear and we saw it on the show..zach you out your own nail in coffin when you refused to throw bob.
Good Morning!
Ugh soooo Cody is HOH.
I would say he needs to play his game but I think he plays a group game, headed by Derrick.
Nominating Donny and Nicole.
A lot can happen in a BB day. So we'll see.
Christine has added Julie Chen to her already long list o people to hate….eye roll!
Have a great day!
First let me say Thank You Carolyn for these updates! I get too annoyed w/feeds & bc of time diff I'd be up till 6am everyday if I stayed on lol. Anyway SO annoyed Cody of all ppl won HOH. I love Nicole but out of everyone that could've came back...idk. These houseguests are playing Derrick's game ..plain and simple. What happened to big moves? What happened to going against the grain and playing for yourself. I really don't like this season at all.I'm going to have to do a lot of praying this week that Donny gets that POV or Pandoras Box will enter. So annoyed.
Boy, it did not take long for Derrick's popularity to take a plunge. Just a little over 24 hours-from the Christine/Donny convo to the resurrection of Nicole. Yes, I'm sure he still has fans, but not nearly as many. He is far from the favorite player he was at the beginning of the game, although he was never my fave. I do have to admit though, I did agree with a couple of the statements he made last night.
"There was a drastic reduction in rumors in the house when Nicole left." True-very true. Of course, that could be because there was no point in spreading rumors about her once she was gone.
"Anyone who goes into the beehive with her (Nicole) is only hurting themselves." Also true in a roundabout way. Hurting themselves in the sense that they risk angry Derrick giving them a tongue lashing when they come out.
I love that fans are finally seeing the real Derrick. He has said many times that he would not be disrespectful to the girls because he has a daughter. He has even said that if he was Victoria's father he would punch Zack in the mouth. Yet, Victoria has admitted being afraid of upsetting Derrick and making him mad at her. So much so that she is afraid to even say what she wants in regards to her game.
Derrick is lucky because my guess is that Victoria and Nicole's fathers will not punch him, but maybe they should. Derrick has been disrespectful and intimidating. He berated and tore into Victoria when she did nothing wrong and then dismissed her as if she were nothing. His veiled threats towards Nicole are sickening. I know they are shallow threats said behind her back but it is the venom in his voice and the hate in his eyes that I find disgusting. As a parent, it would bother me more to see the pure nastiness that comes out of Derrick than to watch Zack carry out his immature, high school bully tactics. I find it particularly distasteful because Derrick is a parent and also a police officer. A cop who loses it that easily whenever things don't go his way is not a cop I want to be on the bad side of.
It's official. I am on the "This cast is great, but this season is boring" bandwagon.
I was so hopefull about the "most twisted season of BB"
:/
Good morning Carolyn and Dishers!!!
Pandora's box? Coup de ta? AGP, whatcha got???
Things I'm not liking:
frankie and his inflated view of himself and his sister's stardom. There is self-promotion, and them there is pure stupidity
Victoria smiling as those she has accomplished something in this game. She still has no clue how or why she is there, but its so late now that she is almost assured at least a Jerry style 3rd place and maybe, God-forbid, 2nd. Everyone wins if they sit by her at the finale. Hey..good for her, I just dont like that if that happens in her mind she will have done something to "win" 2nd.
Other than that I can live with the house like it is. Im glad Nicole came back, Jocosta would have been the strangest reentry ever, especially since as she was leading it appeared that the tongues were trying to return. Would that freakout on live tv makeup for the dud that would follow? I dont know maybe. There is still so little gameplay by anyone but Derrick. If Donny doesnt win POV he is toast this week unless Nicole isnt on the block with him and saved him. Hopefully if he walks out the door he exposes TA first. That could wreck Derrick's game.
If u really think about it the Team America stuff... Zack Attack was born in the house from the very first mission so yea... if there was not a TA I really think he would still be tgere...
Yellow Dog
Zach's dad is wasting his time and money if he tries. I must be the only one that thought Zach was good but not great entertainment, and zankie was just weird.
And as for Cody-the pretty boy with the empty head-he said (in that angry, macho way of his)-
"What gives her (Nicole) the right to come back into the house and ask to talk to each of us one on one."
Geez Cody, I don't know. What gives her the right to walk on the same ground as you or to breath the same air? I guess the BB Gods gave her the right. At least Nicole ASKED to talk to you. That's a big step up from Derrick TELLING you who you can and can't talk to.
It's going to be pretty embarrassing when Cody leaves Big Brother and realizes that the 3 things he is remembered for have absolutely nothing to do with the game.
Things Cody will be remembered for:
1. Being the resident housepet/studmuffin/boytoy.
2. Being Derrick's bi..h.
3. Having the worst haircut ever
Hello Carolyn, very sad that Donny or Nicole did not win HOH. :/
I watched flashback from right after the HOH and Donny was talking to Nicole like all of his fight is gone, he wants to go home and is throwing in the towel of sorts.
I agree Yellow Dog, the predictability is getting boring. I know how production gives 'nudges' at times. I just hope this is one of those times and something flips this week to evict Caleb or Christine. That won't happen unless Derrick tells Cody to do it and he seems pretty set in his ways so...
Last rant of the morning.
Now that we are right back where we started I am kind of at the point of being bored to tears with this season. The summer has been wasted for me. Not the show-just the feeds, which are usually a huge part of my summer. There is no need to watch the feeds for hours because it has been the exact same game, alliance, target every week. I can find out from Carolyn what I need to know in a lot less time. The comps are not exciting. Last night, an endurance for returning jurors would have been a perfect chance to watch people really fight for how bad they wanted it. BB blew it big time this year. They had a concept that showed itself to be a failure from the second week and instead of admitting it they held on until it was too late to make a difference in the game. And I believe the extra comp (BoB) is why they have not had time to build endurance sets or to edit a carryover HOH from Thursday into the Sunday show.
I watch feeds for power shifts, to keep track of game talk and see who is going to work with who. And I watch for endurance. But the only excitement in endurance is watching someone truly fight for their BB life and knowing that if they win there could be a power shift. It's too late now. Other than Nicole or Donny, no one is going to fight because they all, somehow or other, still feel safe.
No power shifts. No endurance comps. No need for feeds. I think CBS really misfired with this year's concept. With Utopia just around the corner as reality competition, they may have picked a bad year to screw with the show we all love.
And no, I am not whining because Derrick is likely going to win or because Hayden did not come back. I have not been able to get into the feeds much at all this entire season. I feel the feeds, and the show in general have been very boring. I have felt that way since the beginning, when I actually did like almost everyone and had no strong favorite. It's a shame that, with such a promising cast, the summer has turned into a snooze fest.
Good morning. Cody winning is not pleasing at all. Donny was so close. Cody is just perfectly setting up 3rd place for himself.
summer of predictability.
Lets see if something shakes things up this week. If Donny wins veto, he needs to wake up and get rid of Victoria to put himself next to derrick at
End. Or get Frankie out as a big move.
have a nice day.
Good Morning Carolyn. I have changed my attitude (somewhat ~ Bitter still am I). I'm ready for everything to go Derrick's way for a couple of weeks. Why the eff hope for anything else! So Cody takes the easiest possible route to lowest spot on the totem pole whilst proving his loyalty to Derrick. If he had just 1/3 of a brain, he'd nom Donny with Victoria since she is the one making his chance at money more unrealistic.
How can anyone believe anything Derrick says? Whatever; be stupid houseguests.
Donny hopefully wins PoV. Nicole goes right out the door. Wasn't that exciting? Put a houseguest back in the house to shake things around a little and what do you get? BOREDOM - this had NO purpose. I still see no evidence to support the idea of "the most twisted season ever". It's been the "most predictable and boring" season ever and, sadly, they had a decent cast to boot - could've been so much better. So Sad.
My last hope resides in the accidental final three of Team America. The most unloyal alliance gets, NOT GOES, to the end. I hope Donny or Frankie win final HoH and they boot Derrick. That will be poetic justice. Frankie is destined to win something. Donnie, for all the opposing forces, deserves to win something. Derrick will be forced into the most humiliating position. And, Zach will likely get fan favorite. booyah.
Adding insult to the injurious outcome, this is my preferred order of remaining boots: Nicole (courtesy of Cody), Cody (courtesy Victoria), Christine (courtesy Caleb), Caleb (courtesy anyone), Victoria (courtesy Frankie), then eitiher Donny/Frankie win HoH and send Derrick packing to NO WHERE. The idea of Team America will be a joke and none of them will even know it. The entire cast will be completely blindsided since none of them go to jury. At least the finale will be hilarious.
I think that the returning Juror should be allowed immunity from being put on the block for the first week in...just seems like the only fair option for them. I was kinda hoping that they would have had 2 returning jurors come back both as HOH's and they do the battle of the block that way. Would have been an interesting twist
When does BBCAN2 start? Just kidding, I am over this season. Just will watch Finale night. Thanks Carolyn, I love your updates. Makes it easier to read the convos then listen to their voices. You deserve a medal to listen to this drivel.
Oh, Cody, Cody, Cody. It would be such a good move to try to get Derrick or Frankie out by putting them both up on the block. You're going to look back and regret it if you don't. Besides, we need a shake up right about now.
I come here to vent, because Twitter is such a (word) violent place, unless you are a Donny fan. I know most of you here are Donny fans, as well, but you are much kinder to my difference of opinion lol (So thank you!)
I think sometimes us viewers forget that this show started as a psychological experiment/reality show...it morphed into a Reality Competition. Back to the psychology of it, I don't think it is right to call someone stupid for remaining loyal to someone they have become very close with. Or to call someone disgusting for playing the game well (very well I may add) Maybe Cody isn't someone who would back stab a friend for money...maybe Derrick views this not a an experiment, but as game, and will do whatever it takes to win. It doesn't make him a bad person. It doesn't mean Cody is stupid outside the house, and it doesn't mean that Derrick is a disgusting person who would sell his daughter for money (one of the things I saw on Twitter). I LOVE this site for people sharing their opinions of the game and I thank you for letting me share mine. It just bothers me when we start calling houseguests names because things aren't going the way we want them to.
Another note, and I think Grendon explained it best about this season being boring to her. Yes, if you purchased the feeds and are upset about the lack of gameplay or endurance comps, that is totally valid. But I see so many complaining about it being the most boring season ever, and am just afraid all of this complaining will lead to no season, and I definitely don't want that!
My message for the day is "lets all find some positive in the negative" lol
Did anyone else catch Christine, Cody and Frankie being the "mean girls" last night, it was just pitiful and then Christine making the comment of being around handicapped people is annoying or something ignorant as that. I have absolutely now respect for her anymore at all. I can't wait for her to watch feeds and see how she was being used by all of them and fell into it all while embarassing her husband and family on National TV.
Firstly, I would just like to say I love the BBDISH! Thank you to Carolyn and all the other posters, you're all great! This site makes my BB obsession so much easier! :)
I've been using this site for years but never commented before.
Second, I would just like to say that regardless of who I dislike in the house, or the annoyances of one alliance mostly ruling things, crappy people, or annoying game play... I still love this show/season (like most of the others). For some reason even if I have been completely up on everything, and have heard every detail of a situation from the HGs, it is still just SO FUN to me to see these things play out on the tv/live show. I just love it!!
Lastly, the HGs... Oy.. In some ways I love all of them, or at least parts of them. But there are also SO many things that have been making me angry. I definitely think this season has a weird mob mentality/HS/cliquey vibe in there, especially now.
"We're together, we're the best, we're running this show. Let's talk shit about everyone, but god forbid they do the same we will KILL their game!" blah blah. It's really sad. They all got too much power too early, and let it SERIOUSLY go to their heads, turning them all into really dirty, vicious, pieces of crap honestly.
In the beginning I loved and rooted for Derrick, Frankie too. I still think Derrick may win the whole thing... But the way they have been acting more recently is just really bumming me out. Why can't everyone be friendly? Just because someone isn't part of the cool kids alliance you have to talk smack about them and shun them? That's not cool at all.
Oh and the way people treated Nicole after Hayden left was Atrocious! They did not show it on the show, but on the feeds Frankie, and Zach mainly were being SOO MEAN. It's uncalled for. Why kick someone while they're down?.. and then LIE LIE LIE and throw her under the bus to cover your own ass. I cannot wait until people get out and watch the show! I would love for them to all see how much their so called friends were really lying.
Maybe them terrorizing and being mean is their gameplay. Let me break this person down so they won't win against me and my alliance. But I don't think that's what makes someone a good player, at all.. Not in my book. You're just a D-Bag
K fun first post. Thanks for reading :)
This season has been one big let down after another. Shake it up BB! Why not make the returning house guest HOH and really throw a wrench into the game.. At this point they are all handing Derrick the money and have no desire to watch anymore, which is sad since I look forward to watching every summer.
Wendy do you have a timestamp when Christine said that about Handicapped people? Thank you.
I had a question/comment....Carolyn you say they will need a pandora's box or something to fill the Sunday show...but since we didn't see HOH comp last night...won't that take the place of the Battle of the Block this week? Or am I missing something?
I've turned off the feeds. Somebody let me know if "the most twisted summer ever" includes a diamond POV or a Coup de'tat cause that's the only way I'm not giving up on the season... Sigh.
Renee - You're absolutely right. The HoH Comp could be enough. It just depends how long they let the HoH COmp Segment run..

Good morning (afternoon?), Carolyn! Thanks SO much for all you do. Though I don't comment often, coming to read the Dish makes my Big Brother experience MUCH better. Thanks so much!
I want to say that I am not like many who say they are bored with this season and that it's the worst ever. How quickly we forget the horror that was last season, which almost drove me away from Big Brother for good. I'm so glad I came back for this season and I am still loving these house guests. Does Frankie's arrogance wear on me? Yes. Am I confused about the way Christine flirts with Cody? Yes. Do I miss some of the house guests I thought would go further? Yes. Do I wish Victoria would win something? Yes. Do I wish the house guests would not stoop to nasty, insults about each other? Yes.
But that being said, there is still so much I DO like about this year. I still like most who are still in the game. Not all. But most. I could care less about what the Twitter-verse or Blogosphere says about who is the current 'favorite' player. I know who I like, and it is never based on what anyone else thinks. And I cannot be upset that a strong alliance has not fallen apart. How many times in the past have we hoped that the alliance of our favorites would just hold on another week or two?
So I'm still excited to see what's coming this year. I do wish these people would be awake more when I could watch them on the feeds, but thank goodness for flashback and your time stamps, Carolyn! Thanks SO much.
(I don't want to cause problems, but I need to say I find the Hitler reference by a previous poster to be highly upsetting. I realize in our culture it has become very common for Hitler's name to be tied to that of a person anyone disagrees with for any reason. I really hate this. We aren't talking about genocide and over time the overuse of his name minimizes the absolute horror of what he brought to the world. Perhaps it's just me, and if so, I apologize for bringing it up. )
I think derrick is playing the best game. I wouldn't be upset if he wins but I love Donny. He may be a not so good player but he is the sweetest guy ever and he has won some comps too. I feel bad that he is alone in the game and that ppl leave him out. I think his game is coming to an end and that makes me sad. I wish Zach could have stayed and they teamed up together.
And I have a question about Christine. Didn't she at the beginning of the season right way while picking beds say that she can't sleep with a guy cuz she's married???? But its ok to hang all over them and cuddle??? I don't understand it. Maybe I am thinking of someone else but I thought it was her.
Oh my God, what a very predictable game. Why bother bringing Nicole back? This is only prolonging this boring game. Why are they doing what Derrick wants than to do? Are they really thinking. They all know if Derrick makes it to the end he wins. The casing is horrible. They need more assertive people, not followers.Donny we needed more people like you who aren't afraid to have their own mind. What a shame bb16
OUTNUMBERED -- I agree with you 100%, and the only reason I published it was in hopes of a response exactly as yours..
"I find the Hitler reference by a previous poster to be highly upsetting. I realize in our culture it has become very common for Hitler's name to be tied to that of a person anyone disagrees with for any reason. I really hate this. We aren't talking about genocide and over time the overuse of his name minimizes the absolute horror of what he brought to the world."
FYI - The HGs have been awoken.. Donny and Christine are the only ones to have acknowledged the call thus far. I'll start a morning update as soon as we've got relevant talkers. :)
Interesting to note: The backyard is open.
HoH comp viewing and reveal moved to Sundays along with the Nom talks and reveal. I mean there aren't any real talks about noms; just Derrick telling whoever is HoH what they have to do. It's gonna be slim pickings to fill a sunday show with those two things.
Wednesday will still be pov rewind for us - throwing in a couple of key conversations to mislead the tv only audience or, perhaps, a few humorous moments if they have any.
Then they now have the much more interesting segments to show of the jury house on Thursday with the live eviction.
BORING.
I agree with Grendon's most excellent comment. I usually can find a reason to keep interested, this year I am having a very hard time.
When I say the season is boring, I'm talking about the fact that one alliance seems to have dominated the game all year.
I have enjoyed watching how well Derrick has played the game. I just miss the back-and-fourth of some seasons where I rooted for my favorite and they almost never had an easy path to the money.
Then I would watch my favorite player get voted out and fall in love with a new player becuase of the way they were able to adapt to the changes.
If you would've told me her first season that I would be a Rachel Riley fan I would have washed your mouth out with soap. By the time she won BB, I was so happy for her!
That's what I mean by "boring"
I truly like this cast, I am just sad that people like Donny were left out of the Original Eight and were never able to "get into the game"
Thanks for your hard work last night Carolyn although I did not like what I read upon waking up.
Outnumbered, thanks for writing what I was thinking re the Hitler comment.
. I'm not a fan of Derrick, at all, but I will say that I don't think I can judge what someone might do when they're fighting for half a million dollars. Doubt I'd be on my best behavior either.

I dont know if you heard, but this IS the most twisted summer EVER!
Maybe
Psst! :)

Where did I read, that both Derrick and Cody thought that Donny hit the button first, but it didn't light up?
@Larry To compare ANYBODY to Hitler in the BB House negates every word said out of your mouth. This is a freaking game. Hitler killed millions.
Perspective. Nobody's throat is really slashed. It is a game. Seriously.
Good evening (For me) Caro, just getting the chance to read the OR, thanks so much! Cute to see Nicole preparing to talk to Cody... She really does remind me just a bit of Britt not as loud, funny, or outspojen, but quirky in a cute way. I miss Brittany and always pray that her baby is doing well. Hope your doing well, too, Carolyn!
Good Gracious Gravy everyone! What is this? Derrick is on trial in TOR? How soon y'all forget past players who have played the game in similar fashion, some much more vicious and seemed to be loved by all of America, until Dan, which I still believe should have won BB14, but got shafted by an emo jury and votes. So now there's a specific way to play BB? When did that happen? I'm just confused... when Will Kirby said and did misogynistic things on BB, he was also called The Evil Doctor, Evil Dr. Delicious, The Puppet Master, etc... and America loved him? Why? Because he was better looking than Derrick? Because he was a Doctor, and Derrick is a "cop", a police officer? Derrick was sooo right in his interviews saying he could never tell the other HG's what he really does on the outside because most people dislike cops, a lot, he said some people like us, but for the most part, people don't. And I say, that's a shame. There are many police officers out there that put their lives on the line every day for our protection, yes he was an undercover narcotics agent in his younger 20's, so is that a reason to not like Derrick? This Hating on Derrick is getting to be unbelievable.
You guys are listing all the negative incidents or remarks from Derrick lately, how about when he lets Victoria cry on his shoulder about the pain she's in and the embarrassment about her hair, how about him assisting Jocasta when she was so sick, why would they call him Papa Derrick if they are all so afraid of him? So he's a guys guy....So was Dr. Will and used Janelle so badly to get as far as he could in the game, even so, I loved Will Kirby, but you guys seem to have serious personal issues with Derrick. He certainly is no Devin, and I think he's playing a brilliant game. If he's not as built and competitive to win comps, then he has to play a Dan-like game, a Will-like game.
I guess all people are different, thank the GOOD Lord we are ;) And everyone will have their favs, and everyone believes that this one should win for their reasons, or some believe this one should win for that reason, that's why BB has so many millions of people watching. I'm just shocked to see so many here on The Dish crucifying Derrick for his game play. It doesn't feel right, especially on here.
Anyway, I know I always say this, but it's true; I know I'm in the minority but I picked Derrick since week two and it's been so much fun watching him use his skills as an undercover agent, (I love Graceland) and so I hope Derrick wins because he truly is playing THE GAME of Big Brother as it should be played according to him, his size, build, and knowledge of people. I definitely do not see him bullying people. Nothing like Devin did, and if he doesnt win, then okay, I lose, and my second choice I guess would be Donny, only because he does see the big picture as well, and that right there is exactly why he and Derrick aren't getting along.
As for Cody, precious Cody, he is definitely riding Derrick's coattails in for F2 and I am sure Derrick knows this, for I've not seen Cody make any major decisions, except to keep any one of the girls busy and talking to him to find out info for Derrick. So if they end up F2, it will be easy for Derrick to point that out to Jury.
Okay, I'm just rambling now....
Love all you BBDishers out there always... no matter what! ♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥
smt123, frankie had already planned Zach's eviction by then. Throwing the comp would have let Frankie remain HOH without any worry and left Zach there to be sent home. These guys are so sure of winning that they are getting lazy and resent being forced to play out the season.
Grendon, I am with you 100% on the Derrick/venom thing. Vic saying she wouldn't even talk was exactly what I expected after the HOH bullying session where Derrick made both Vic and Nic cry. Cry because they talked...how dare they communicate?! He took them both completely out of the game when he made them cry--it was bullying because he had no right to be angry, he's twice their size, and he scared them deeply. He took Zach out of the game as well, but with his own flakey consent...offering to not play anymore if the alliance would not be mad at him....he caved completely. I hate Derrick's game bc of this approach he has of scaring emotionally weaker players into giving up their games.
As for your "last rant of the morning" Well said! Exactly my sentiments. I watch the feeds for the same...I LOVE the game talk, the scheming, the aligning...I don't love the trash talking, piling on one or two individuals...
Jodi Meyerowitz, Wow! First post and it read like the blog of someone who has been commenting since season 1. Very well said. You make great points--they got the power too early and it never shifted back and forth like it's supposed to do. They have been assured of victory so long that they are tired of pretending....
As for the meanness, Frankie is just a mean person--toward everyone--he was angry bc Nic used her HOH to target him. Shocks him that she did not fall for his bs.
Zach's anger went deeper. He clued her in to the Detonators, to Christine's phoney friendship, Cody being in an alliance...and even raised the idea of working together--but she spread everything he said all over the house, told Christine, Hayden, Victoria....and so Derrick soon knew and Zach's game was over. She even accused him repeatedly of lying to her--he had been totally forthright! So his anger comes from a place where it's had time to cook a bit...
But I agree that the shunning thing is hurtful and unnecessary. Mean. And dumb bc all but 3 will be in those seats one day. So glad you've decided to post!
Lulu, Twitter is a hardcore place! People really feel free to say terrible things there. All sorts of people and ages. A world-wide recrimination-free place to state your opinion in any way you want to, to anyone and about anyone. The ultimate in free speech but sometimes not enough room for pleasantries.
Outnumbered and Carolyn, I completely agree regarding the reference to Hitler:
Hitler directly murdered 11 million people in the Holocaust.
This number included over 1 million Jewish children.
Of the 9 million Jewish people living in Europe, 2/3--6 million--were killed.
And it is believed the total number of people who died in Europe, as a result of the Holocaust and World War II could exceed 50 million people.
50 million people. The man brought the most hideous forms of torture, slave labor camps where they simply used people up, expecting them to die in 3 months, when they'd be replaced by the citizens of the next country invaded. He had plans to enslave the entire planet, kill off everyone not "Aryan" and rule the Earth for 10,000 years. And America was on his list. Derrick is not a hair on Hitler's toe.
AMEN to thay Tella! Some of us have relatives who were in the Holocaust, and my Uncle died in Europe defending against Hitler! My mom almost never fot over it, she and her brother were very close.
Goodness me! People need to watch watch the analogy they use on this GAME of Big Brother!
Ugggh!
