When we left off Thursday after the live show, poor Zach missed his chance to get back in the game. Nicole was victorious and returned to the house. Dual HOH’s and BOB’s have officially ended. Are you ready for more Big Brother 16 Updates and Spoilers? Let’s dig in.

HOH is played after the show and the winner is Cody. From the chatter in the house, it sounds like Donny was very close to winning, but Cody got the W. Not only did he nominate Nicole and Donny, he also made them Have-nots for the week.

As everything this season has been predictable, Zach leaving was no surprise. Donny is still the target week after week, but he has stayed every week. Nicole and Donny realize that neither stands much of a chance of staying in the house, but they are at least trying to think of ways to stay. It’s really just a matter of who leaves first.

Next up POV. Players are Cody (HOH), Nicole and Donny (nom’s) and Derrick and Christine. Your veto winner is. . .Cody. He also won a prize which is to watch the premiere of the new CBS show Scorpion. Surprisingly he reached outside of his alliance and chose Nicole and Donny to watch along with him. Maybe it was his goodbye gift to Donny, because as it stands at this time, he is on the block and the definitive target. Cody told Nicole that Donny was going home and they would not vote her out this week.

In other news, complete with my opinions, Team America’s task this week is to come up with a task for themselves. Huh? I don’t remember any voting happening, but it may be a scheme of Donny to try and get Derrick and Frankie to save him.  If so, impressive on Donny’s part, but I don’t know if he will be able to get away with it. The three of them discussed, but later Frankie and Derrick thought it would be too risky for them to try and save Donny. As of this post there is no task.

Cody, Derrick, Frankie and Caleb touted their skills to each other about how great they have played the game, and how great they are in general, and how they are the best alliance that has ever run through the Big Brother house, and how they are such great people, and how America must love them, and how great it is to be them, and on and on.

Nicole asks Donny after returning to the house, “what are we supposed to do all day? Hang out with them?” Donny says yes in not so few words, but states that it is awkward.

Christine hates everyone. . .oh excuse me. . .HATES everyone. She hates Jocasta because she speaks in tongues and makes her feel uncomfortable. She hates Donny – no – she hates Donny’s guts. She wants to rip his head off. She hates Victoria just because. She LOVES Cody and remains Frankie’s personal tag-along audience.

Frankie continues to ham it up for the cam (it is really annoying), and talks about himself whenever someone will listen, or when he makes someone listen. He still does not want to get “blood on his hands”.

Caleb and Cody. . .look good. Umm. . .what else? Hmm

Derrick has an in with everyone in the house. He is now moving in on Christine and makes claims only to Frankie about wanting to keep Donny in the house for Team America. We have no way of knowing if that is true or not. Derrick was very much off the radar for most of the game, but he’s starting to show some cracks in his armor. He’s starting to get a bit paranoid, managing to keep it outwardly cool.

Victoria suffered some kind of tooth pain with a swollen face to go along with the agony. She was given medication earlier which she took and got a bit loopy. At one point she was in the toilet area of the bathroom, while Nicole was outside the door at the sink. Nicole hears something and asks if Victoria is alright. She then opens the door to find Victoria on the floor and very sweaty. She was taken to an emergency room and returned to the house later. Coincidentally, she was not picked to play veto. I was actually hoping this would be a perfect excuse for her exit, and maybe bringing in another juror member who could add some spice into this boring house.

 Monday is the Veto ceremony, and we all know what’s going to happen right? Cody will most likely not use the Veto leaving Nicole on the block next to Donny who is the target this week. . .AGAIN! No surprise, but grudgingly I will again give the HG’s the benefit of the doubt and see if they change their mind this week. Until next time.
