Wednesday Morning in the BB16 House
It's Wednesday Morning in the Big Brother 16 house, and as of right now, the backyard is still open. Along with ALL of the HGs, we expect an Endurance Comp HoH during The Live Show on Thursday, continuing on the live feeds. That said, the backyard should close down by the afternoon today, so they can build it and test it and all that jazz..
If you haven't gotten the feeds yet this season, an Endurance Comp is a great excuse to take advantage of that 2 Day Free Trial.
If this is your 1st time on BBDish today, and you'd like to get all caught up before you begin the Morning Update, here are the previous 2 posts: The Overnight Report, VIDEO: A Message From Christine's Husband.
10:20am
Donny: Frankieeeee!
Frankie: They kept me up til 6:30..
Hugs..
Frankie: (gestures to indicate the HGs)
Donny: Ok.. Go back to bed.
Frankie does. His lucky bedmate this morning is Caleb..
Donny goes outside to finish his breakfast of cereal, comes back in to wash it, waves hello and says Good Morning the Memory Wall.. perhaps he is addressing his greyed out allies?
BB: (calls out everyone by name) Please change your batteries and turn in your activity trackers.
10:33am
The HGs make quick work of it and head back to their respective cocoons, after bathroom pit-stops. Christine takes advantage of the relative comfort of the bathroom bench while she waits for Donny to get out of the WC.
BB: Victoria, please go to the DR.
10:34am
BB: Victoria, Derrick, Cody, please change your batteries and turn in your activity trackers.
10:35am
Cody makes his way into the storage room and notices the luggage waiting for himself and Zach.
10:50am
While the rest of the HGs are cocooning, Donny is on the elliptical..
10:57am
Christine comes outside..
Donny: G'mornin'!
Christine: (barely coherent) ...my glasses..
And in she goes. She returns with something for Donny, and makes a bit of small talk.. then..
11:18am
Camera 1 and 2
Christine: If it was true to last year, it'd be next week, but anything's possible. They could just say, "BoB's over, let's do a Double Elimination real quick to start it." I'm either thinkin' there's 1 more BoB and there's a DE next week to start it, and it triggers the 1 head of household, or it's this week, and it triggers the 1 HoH.
Donny: (silence)
Christine: Who knows? Uch. Why can't they tell us?
Talk turns to their eating habits.. and more small talk.. Breakfast choices, Contact lenses, Eye Insurance.. I'll let you know if that changes. For all of their animosity about each other when speaking to others, they are very polite to one another and able to carry on conversation alone..
11:38am
Chatter with Donny and Christine, the only HGs awake, continues..+
11:52am
Chatter with Donny and Christine turns to past BB seasons. Christine plans to re-watch them all.
Christine: I can't believe I'm on the show. That's nuts.
Donny: We've lasted a good long time too.
Christine: Yeah. We've made it to the final 7. That's a good long way.
Donny: (casts his bait) Would you be said if Victoria lasted longer than you?
Christine: I don't think there's a soul in this house that wouldn't. There's already gonna be 9 sad people.
Donny: She's a number and a vote. She has a lot of power.
Christine: She has a lot more power than it appears.
Donny: Definitely. And that gives other people power too.
Christine: They were smart for keeping her. Was there anyone last year who played competitions like her?
Donny: Ginamarie? If she was used to get you out, it would be terrible.
Christine: That is a huge possibility.. and I'd be so pissed off. That sucks.
Donny: Cuz there's gonna be some point.. and the people who's really got her aint gonna give her up.
Christine: And nobody else can get her now.
Donny: Nobody.. not even a pop star.
Christine: Can't say I haven't fallen to it too though. It's very convincing.
Donny: There are several people I wouldn't mind losing to, but there are a couple I'd really mind.
Christine: I am grateful for all of the people we got out who didn't know the game at all.. I agree with that.. The sad part is, when you've got someone who you know no one's gonna vote for, you're gonna wanna take em to the final 2.
Donny: mm hmm. But it's also a useless target too, but that's what they're there for.
Christine: That's what they're there for.
Donny: It's like, if you happen to get power, you may want to go after that person, and leave the other person, which, that's a waste of power.. It's dog if you do and dog if you don't. At this point.
Christine: Yeah, that's very very true.
11:59am
BB: Houseguests, this is a lockdown. Please go inside and close the sliding glass door.
Donny: Backyard, it's been real.
Christine: Been beautiful, backyard. I love you.
Inside..
Donny: Well, time to go back to bed.
Christine: Exactly what I was thinking.
And this concludes the Morning Update! I'm going for a bike ride. I'll check on the HGs when I get back... Until then, please mind the critters!
If you've got any shopping to do online today, we'd be so grateful if you'd use our Team BBDish links to get to your favorite e-commerce sites: Amazon, eBay. Walmart, BestBuy and Overstock.com. You'll still get the same great deals, they'll throw us a little commission for sending you, and we'll get to keep blogging Big Brother! It's a win, Win, WIN! ☺

Wow! There seems to be a huge divide between Derrick fans and non-Derrick fans. I think it is a miscommunication somewhere. I have really seen very few people that seem to be Derrick haters.
I am one of the non fans. But I have never been a hater. I hated his attitude a couple times-the first time he was HOH and a couple times when he started to feel a loss of control over the game. I did not like that he used Frankie lying about his true identity as a way to stick it to him. "Well, I know I am who I say I am." I only disliked that because we all know he is NOT who he says he is.
However, there is no rule that you can't come into the game with secrets. Being a cop may give him an advantage, but it's not an unfair advantage. An athlete is going to be better at physical comps. A professional gambler is going to be better at keeping their game under wraps. A psychologist is going to be better at reading the other HGs on a strategic level. That doesn't mean they should not be able to play.
I think that for the most part Derrick seems like a nice person. I think he has played a great game. He is, simply put, not my personal favorite. If he is in the final 2 I will feel that he earned the win. I won't feel cheated. I won't feel that the other HGs were cheated because someone snuck into the final 2.
But I do think there are other worthy players. If Donny was able to get someone to ally with him and overthrow Derrick or if Hayden, Nicole or Zack come back into the game and are able to win comps and shake up the house and get rid of the person who up to this point has not been challenged, I feel that would make them worthy of a win as well.
There are complaints and personal differences. About this time in the game some of the HGs start getting on our nerves as much as they do each other's. But I don't see any reason for hate this season. It's not like last year when the HG who was overwhelmingly hated by the majority of fans was also one of the few, if not only, HGs that actually deserved to win the game.
Speaking of things that get on our nerves-all the talk of Victoria's extensions.
I didn't hear the original conversation but am aware that she lost her hair and is very self conscious. Being a woman, not only do I understand but, I am very sympathetic. The problem is not that she wears extensions, it's the amount that she wears.
At the top, it looks real (where they are added) but at the bottom it is WAY too thick and obviously fake. When the show started and anyone would ask if she wore extensions she would get defensive and say "No, it's my own hair." She would hide to take care of them, brush them and take them out or put them in. Whether she cares that people know or not, but most especially if she does not want people to know, there is an expression that sometimes less is more. If she made her hair look a little more natural I don't think the 'does she or doesn't she' would have been blown so far out of proportion.
Donny working Christine hard. Is she just blowing smoke, or is she seriously paying attention. I guess we'll know later. In the past she has acted the same way with people and immediately told the boys everything.
I haven't seen where Cody has told Derrick about the conversation with Donny.
He may be making some progress finally.
I'm hoping so.
I watched the rest of this convo and I'm amazed at how much Donnie knows. He laid the truth out for Christine as he did for Cody yesterday. She's got to see he's right, but whether she can overcome her own delusions and (unfounded) hatred of Donnie to advance her own game is yet to be seen. She did seem to engage more towards the end of it and was called into DR right after. Maybe they'll reinforce what Donnie said.
I love that Donnie is still fighting for Zach, but even if he could convince Christine to vote Cody out they would need one more.
I have listened to Caleb sing and I have listened to Tim (Christine's husband) sing. Tim has my vote.
I admit that country is not my favorite genre, but being objective, I just was not impressed with Caleb. He has a pleasant voice, but nothing that stands out or seems special. I actually enjoy Tim's voice and depending on the song, it is a voice I would take notice of and make a point to listen to. I think he sounded particularly good on This Adventure.
After the BY lockdown a long game talk session between Domny & Christine ensued, didn't see that coming! Odds are she will blab, but you never know. If she does, she is a dummy!
Oh well, as I feared, Christine is really too dumb to understand how she is being played. It surprises me because she is an actual fan of the game.
Oh lordy, I knew Christine wasn't smart enough to keep her mouth shut. What an idiot!
For all those who say Donny doesn't try hard enough to play the game, it's so not true. He has talked game to Hayden, Nicole, Zach, Caleb, Cody, and Christine. Frankie or Derrick? Not sure, please refresh my memory :) But nothing came of it. Plus he has won 6 comps, just about blacked out to win one of them, and also won a two person competition all by himself. Jeesh! He da man!
Okay, I am done defending Donny by now y'all know where I stand.
I don't hate and wish people would chill out about these HGs. There is so much to hate in the world... and BB players are not it. If they say they are going to cut somebody's throat... they don't mean it.
Now something fun, from somebody that has been getting on my nerves. This is Frankie's audition tape for Survivor... it's the guy I liked before all the paranoia took over. He is funny and smart. http://youtu.be/XfrplYnkihI
I think it was Cyninbend who brought Utopia to my mind a few days ago...
it looks interesting. Especially the fact of Live Feeds, however those work in a setting like that. But at least you can see more than a heavily edited Survivor. Some info:
Over 5,000 hopeful contestants auditioned for the new FOX reality Utopia TV show. Of those thousands of entrants, only 15 were chosen for the first batch of pioneers. More Utopia cast members may be added later in the season, however as others are eliminated from the show.
We could see more of those remaining possible candidates stepping on as the season progresses.
The Utopia TV show is based on a reality series initially launched in the Netherlands from Big Brother creator John de Mol. The members of the Utopia cast will be tasked with building a new society from scratch, including making their own homes, laws, and social contracts. They will also have to feed themselves and figure out how to survive without heat and only the minimum of support from production.
“We’re putting people in a huge sandbox and standing back,” Executive Producer Conrad Green told Deadline.com. It’s up to the cast on the show to determine what will happen from there.
If you’re anxious to start watching Utopia online with the Live Feed then get ready because it’s coming at us very soon! So soon in fact that we’ll be watching Feeds before the show premieres.
Utopia Live Feed camera watches everything. Unlike what we’ve seen with the Big Brother series where players have more than a week of protected and private time that won’t be the case here. Production has announced the Utopia Live Feed will be rolling as soon as their “ants” move in.
August 29 is day one for our Utopians. The minute they move in is the minute the experiment begins. Cameras on; guards down. Our 24/7 live streams debut more than a week before our broadcast premiere!
In addition to the quick release of the video content we’re hearing there will be 129 cameras set up around the site. That should give us a lot of coverage, though we do get more than half that in just a small house for BB. It’ll be interesting to compare the coverage options once we start watching the Feeds later this month.
Early details reveal there will be “premium” Feed access as well, but no information yet on the cost to watch Utopia online.
