Big Brother 16 – Thursday Night Happenings

I’m blogging blind right now! Not literally, but some small real life issues came up last night, so I didn’t get a chance to watch the feeds.  I’m trying to piece together events from last night, but as far as I can tell it was mostly uneventful anyway.

I do know around 1am, Cody gave Amber a long, long massage in the living room. Long enough where it had Caleb pretty heated, so he went upstairs to vent about the situation (1:15am or so).  Use the flashback feature here to catch anything missed.

Frankie offered to be Caleb’s wife

Poor Caleb. I am putting it out there now, Amber is going to be the reason he goes home, but it will be all his fault. His crush on her is making him do stupid things over and over, like throwing himself on his sword to defend Amber’s position in the Bomb Squad. Another example is what is expected to happen sometime today…

Nicole and Derrick were working on nominations and they were having a real hard time trying to figure out who to put up. The main goal is to send Devin home, but they do not want to give him a chance at winning PoV, so he can’t be nominated today. This means they have to pick four people to potentially piss off despite none of them being the real target (why didn’t Derrick throw the HoH?  So much easier). Their current plan is to have Nicole nominate at least Amber (since she nominated Nicole), but make sure Caleb is on board.  At around 2am, Derrick pulls Caleb into the HoH room to make it happen, and it does with ease.

Here is the current plan:

Derrick puts up Caleb and Jocasta, Nicole puts up Amber and Donny. Caleb throws the competition to ‘save his queen’ (his words, not mine), and he’ll remain on the block with Jocasta. This will remove Nicole from HoH and give her a chance to play in HoH competition this week (which would be good if it’s endurance).  The next part of the plan is to hope Devin doesn’t play in PoV (or win if he does get selected), and then remove someone from the block and put Devin up.

It’s a pretty well thought out plan that has a strong chance of working seamlessly, with as little blood as possible for Derrick and Nicole. With Caleb, Amber and Donny’s blessing, those two won’t be targets next week and they’ll still be able to remove Devin from the house. Of course, this IS Big Brother, so it probably won’t work out that smooth, but it appears to be the current way things will go this week.

Another note – Team America was given their first mission. That is to spread rumors about a houseguest being related to a former houseguest. I’ll likely create a new post explaining this in more detail when I get more information.

Check back later for some feed updates.  I’m sure I’ll have plenty to report as the day goes on and the nominations / botb are revealed.
