There’s been a bit of a power shift in the Big Brother 16 house, but with the talk going on in the house, you wouldn’t really know. It sounds like Nicole and Donny are both going to nominate the usual suspects with a couple of the guys thrown in. But there are some backdoor options being discussed also. Find out what else happened on the Big Brother feeds last night.
Big Brother 16 Live Feed Highlights – Thursday, July 31, 2014:
7:07 PM BBT – Feed return. Nicole and Donny won HOH in a tie-breaker question. Zach was way off and is very mad at himself.
7:13 PM BBT – Frankie tells Hayden and Zach that Donny will never nominate Jocasta so that means Donny won’t stay HOH.
7:14 PM BBT – Donny and Nicole are talking in private about working together as HOHs. They don’t say any names to each other, however, so there seems to be questionable trust already. They only thing they agree on is that Hayden is 100 percent safe this week. Donny mentions there are some people in the house (Cody, Frankie and Derrick) who don’t know what it feels like to be nominated.
7:20 PM BBT – Jocasta is very upset about not winning HOH. She wanted to see her family. Derrick comes in to comfort her.
7:35 PM BBT – Zach tells Nicole that he knows she’ll probably be putting him up and that’s fine. He basically volunteers.
7:47 PM BBT – Nicole says she’s ready to make some moves.
8:06 PM BBT – Cody tells Derrick that they are safe with Nicole but she’ll probably nominate Zach.
8:11 PM BBT – Derrick tells Nicole she’s not succeeding playing Dan Gheesling’s game. She said she was too afraid to throw it this week.
8:17 PM BBT – Nicole tells Derrick she’d like to get Frankie out. Derrick doesn’t protest.
8:30 PM BBT – Zach announces to the house (loudly) that Nicole is putting him up.
8:33 PM BBT – Donny tells Derrick he won’t put up Jocasta but if he ever had to vote her out he would. He said they’re not aligned, they’re just friends.
8:40 PM BBT – Derrick tells Donny he should nominate Jocasta and Victoria because they’d lose the Battle of the Block. Donny still isn’t interested in nominating Jocasta.
8:53 PM BBT – Donny doesn’t want to go for strong players since BOTB is still a thing. He said he had a plan if there was a single HOH, but now he has to rethink things.
9:01 PM BBT – Cody and Donny are talking. Donny says the Caleb is one of his options to nominate.
9:26 PM BBT – Christine and Donny are now talking. She tells Donny the four people that should go up are Victoria, Zach, Jocasta and Cody with Caleb as a backdoor plan.
10:34 PM BBT – HOH reveal time. HGs head up to see Donny and Nicole’s HOH rooms.
11:17 PM BBT – Caleb tells Zach and Derrick that he thinks Donny will put him up.
11:31 PM BBT – Donny and Nicole are talking to Hayden, whom they agreed would be included in all their plans. He suggests Donny nominate Caleb and Victoria and Nicole nominate Jocasta and Zach (even though the plan is for Donny to stay HOH so this is a horrible idea). Hayden says if Caleb stays on the block, then he goes. If the veto is used then Frankie could be backdoored. Nicole seems iffy about backdooring Frankie and Hayden says Zach going wouldn’t be awful.
12:15 AM BBT – Zach calls this season boring as f***. He says he’ll stir up some stuff this week.
12:45 AM BBT – Cody, Hayden, and Derrick discuss solidifying their 4-HG alliance. Hayden and Cody were talking about getting Frankie out.
1:30 AM BBT – Caleb telling a story about harassing people speaking Arabic just because they reminded him of Iraq.
1:40 AM BBT – Derrick talks to Nicole about a 4-HG alliance. She’s in for it. They’ll work with Cody and Hayden.
2:10 AM BBT – Victoria upset that she might be going up and partnered with Caleb because he’s not very good at competitions.
3:15 AM BBT – Derrick worried that he may have thrown Donny under the bus in the DR with his comments about Team America getting declined this week.
3:30 AM BBT – Victoria worried about going up on the block with Cody. Cody acts surprised even though he was expecting that.
So it sounds like those should be the nominees we get today. But with that weird mixture of nominees, Battle of the Block is anyone’s game. It’ll be a complete surprise to find out who wins that and which HOH is dethroned.

Ughh can Zach please go home. He is just trying so hard to be a BB legend. I feel like he is just playing for all stars. I really hope he leaves this week or during the DE I just cant stand him anymore.
Agreed. Zach wants to be the controversial, stand-out star of 2014, but he lacks the personality and intelligence to do so. His rants remind me of a toddler trying to lecture grown-ups.
you described that perfectly. there’s nothing interesting or funny about him at all. the same can be said for Caleb but i’d choose Zach to go first.
If it was me picking the nominees, it should be Derrick, Cody, Frankie and Zach outright. Let them fight it out amongst themselves! The biggest threats are those guys in the alliance and they should be put up. You keep the votes of Victoria and Jocasta which you can use to evict whoever you choose. Nominating Victoria and Jocasta guarantees the alliance their votes. You want to use this opportunity as this is a double elimination week. Try and get two alliance members out at once! However, partner Cody with Zach and Frankie with Derrick. That will guarantee that either Frankie or Zach will remain in the block. If Frankie remains on the block, the incentive among the house guests to vote him out is very high. It will also split the alliance votes along the Cody/Derrick vs Frankie/Zach groups. Divide and conquer. Come on Nicole and Donnie. Do not waste your HOH nominating Jocasta and Victoria—-that will only ensure that you waste two sure votes to take out an alliance member! Whether that is Frankie or Zach or Derrick or Cody does not matter. Do not bother with Caleb and Christine for now—-you can get them to vote your way too!
I agree completely. If they did that, detonators would be done this week. Christine needs to make a big move and confess to nicole about the alliance and flip the house.
I think Christine could be persuaded to ditch the Detonators as she is seeing that she is on the bottom being nominated last time out. That is one more vote on their side and the house usually follows the stronger alliance.
Christine is an Andy. She’s going to keep playing both sides until the end.
one could say that it did benefit Andy.
Oh, it absolutely did benefit him. And thus far, is benefiting Christine. My point is that I have a hard time seeing her move into an alliance and flipping the house. She just doesn’t seem to want to make any waves at all. I think she’ll just try to keep safe on all sides and roll with the tide to the end, until it gets her voted out, or until something significant happens and a line is drawn in the sand.
Must be nice seeing EVERYTHING from the outside looking in. ;)
EXACTLY, COME ON WOMEN…OOPS DONNY TOO. THINK$$$
That’s really smart. I’m glad you thought that through. As I read it, I thought “Yes.. great plan that makes sense!”.
This is Season of the Alliances (depending on who is HOH, the alliance is inter-changeable, switching the members. First when Devin kicked Zach out and replaced him with Hayden, the Detonators, kicking Amber and Caleb out, now Nicole included….). How do they keep up with who they are aligned with? It is time for HGs to play their OWN game, not the house game or powers that be’s game. Tired of seeing the same people on the block and let this be the last week of two HOHs, it is getting “boring as f***”.
Vic upset going up with Caleb, then Cody as they are bad competitors? She also said the same thing last week about Jocosta. Has she checked her own game lately??
She really is as delusional as Caleb is. Something must be in the water there.
“Has she checked her own game lately??” … WHAT game?
While casting his vote to evict Amber, Derrick apologized to America and acted unhappy about not getting to do the TA challenge. I’m sure he wasn’t happy about the $5000, but I think he was relieved that they weren’t taking the risk and that he had Donny to use as a scapegoat.
I’m glad and sad that Donny won HOH. If he remains HOH he won’t be able to compete in the DE next Thursday. Not a doubt in my mind he will be BD right out the door to meet Julie. Only good thing is he will be going to jury. I’m kinda hoping he loses BOB so he can win HOH Thursday. If not I hope he wins the veto.
I like that when Aaryn made racist comments against African American people there was an uproar but Caleb talks about harassing brown people and nobody cares. Ah those pesky brown people, racism against them doesn’t count.
Agree 100% See my response above. He’s nothing but a racist, bigoted, uneducated jerk.
Amber may not have won the $500K, but she went home with the greatest prize of all — her dignity. The audience gave her an enthusiastic round of applause when she said that she won’t fake affection for a man just to win some money.
Sadly, it was her integrity that cost her the game. Caleb’s incessant, cringe-inducing fixation on Amber gave her too much unwanted attention.
“Caleb telling a story about harassing people speaking Arabic just because they reminded him of Iraq.”
That is ALL you need to know about Caleb. What a bleeping jerk. And an uneducated one as well.
